mm: honor PF_MEMALLOC_PIN for all movable pages

2021-05-05T18:27:26+00:00

PF_MEMALLOC_PIN is only honored for CMA pages, extend this flag to work for any allocations from ZONE_MOVABLE by removing __GFP_MOVABLE from gfp_mask when this flag is passed in the current context. Add is_pinnable_page() to return true if page is in a pinnable page. A pinnable page is not in ZONE_MOVABLE and not of MIGRATE_CMA type.

mm cma: rename PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA to PF_MEMALLOC_PIN

2021-05-05T18:27:26+00:00

PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA is used ot guarantee that the allocator will not return pages that might belong to CMA region. This is currently used for long term gup to make sure that such pins are not going to be done on any CMA pages. When PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA has been introduced we haven't realized that it is focusing on CMA pages too much and that there is larger class of pages that need the same treatment. MOVABLE zone cannot contain any long term pins as well so it makes sense to reuse and redefine this flag for that usecase as well. Rename the flag to PF_MEMALLOC_PIN which defines an allocation context which can only get pages suitable for long-term pins. Also rename: memalloc_nocma_save()/memalloc_nocma_restore to memalloc_pin_save()/memalloc_pin_restore() and make the new functions common.

sched: Warn on long periods of pending need_resched

2021-04-21T11:55:41+00:00

CPU scheduler marks need_resched flag to signal a schedule() on a particular CPU. But, schedule() may not happen immediately in cases where the current task is executing in the kernel mode (no preemption state) for extended periods of time. This patch adds a warn_on if need_resched is pending for more than the time specified in sysctl resched_latency_warn_ms. If it goes off, it is likely that there is a missing cond_resched() somewhere. Monitoring is done via the tick and the accuracy is hence limited to jiffy scale. This also means that we won't trigger the warning if the tick is disabled. This feature (LATENCY_WARN) is default disabled.

fanotify: configurable limits via sysfs

2021-03-16T15:49:31+00:00

fanotify has some hardcoded limits. The only APIs to escape those limits are FAN_UNLIMITED_QUEUE and FAN_UNLIMITED_MARKS. Allow finer grained tuning of the system limits via sysfs tunables under /proc/sys/fs/fanotify, similar to tunables under /proc/sys/fs/inotify, with some minor differences. - max_queued_events - global system tunable for group queue size limit. Like the inotify tunable with the same name, it defaults to 16384 and applies on initialization of a new group. - max_user_marks - user ns tunable for marks limit per user. Like the inotify tunable named max_user_watches, on a machine with sufficient RAM and it defaults to 1048576 in init userns and can be further limited per containing user ns. - max_user_groups - user ns tunable for number of groups per user. Like the inotify tunable named max_user_instances, it defaults to 128 in init userns and can be further limited per containing user ns. The slightly different tunable names used for fanotify are derived from the "group" and "mark" terminology used in the fanotify man pages and throughout the code. Considering the fact that the default value for max_user_instances was increased in kernel v5.10 from 8192 to 1048576, leaving the legacy fanotify limit of 8192 marks per group in addition to the max_user_marks limit makes little sense, so the per group marks limit has been removed. Note that when a group is initialized with FAN_UNLIMITED_MARKS, its own marks are not accounted in the per user marks account, so in effect the limit of max_user_marks is only for the collection of groups that are not initialized with FAN_UNLIMITED_MARKS.

include/linux/sched/mm.h: use rcu_dereference in in_vfork()

2021-03-13T19:27:30+00:00

Fix a sparse warning by using rcu_dereference(). Technically this is a bug and a sufficiently aggressive compiler could reload the `real_parent' pointer outside the protection of the rcu lock (and access freed memory), but I think it's pretty unlikely to happen.

sched: Remove USER_PRIO, TASK_USER_PRIO and MAX_USER_PRIO

2021-02-17T13:08:17+00:00

The only remaining use of MAX_USER_PRIO (and USER_PRIO) is the SCALE_PRIO() definition in the PowerPC Cell architecture's Synergistic Processor Unit (SPU) scheduler. TASK_USER_PRIO isn't used anymore. Commit fe443ef2ac42 ("[POWERPC] spusched: Dynamic timeslicing for SCHED_OTHER") copied SCALE_PRIO() from the task scheduler in v2.6.23. Commit a4ec24b48dde ("sched: tidy up SCHED_RR") removed it from the task scheduler in v2.6.24. Commit 3ee237dddcd8 ("sched/prio: Add 3 macros of MAX_NICE, MIN_NICE and NICE_WIDTH in prio.h") introduced NICE_WIDTH much later. With: MAX_USER_PRIO = USER_PRIO(MAX_PRIO) = MAX_PRIO - MAX_RT_PRIO MAX_PRIO = MAX_RT_PRIO + NICE_WIDTH MAX_USER_PRIO = MAX_RT_PRIO + NICE_WIDTH - MAX_RT_PRIO MAX_USER_PRIO = NICE_WIDTH MAX_USER_PRIO can be replaced by NICE_WIDTH to be able to remove all the {*_}USER_PRIO defines.
