<id>urn:sha1:7e6e2fc91d4b9b12ec6e137019532568ebcf2680</id>
<content type='text'>
commit b570f37a2ce480be26c665345c5514686a8a0274 upstream.

If hmm_range_fault() fails a folio_trylock() in do_swap_page,
trying to acquire the lock of a device-private folio for migration,
to ram, the function will spin until it succeeds grabbing the lock.

However, if the process holding the lock is depending on a work
item to be completed, which is scheduled on the same CPU as the
spinning hmm_range_fault(), that work item might be starved and
we end up in a livelock / starvation situation which is never
resolved.

This can happen, for example if the process holding the
device-private folio lock is stuck in
   migrate_device_unmap()-&gt;lru_add_drain_all()
sinc lru_add_drain_all() requires a short work-item
to be run on all online cpus to complete.

A prerequisite for this to happen is:
a) Both zone device and system memory folios are considered in
   migrate_device_unmap(), so that there is a reason to call
   lru_add_drain_all() for a system memory folio while a
   folio lock is held on a zone device folio.
b) The zone device folio has an initial mapcount &gt; 1 which causes
   at least one migration PTE entry insertion to be deferred to
   try_to_migrate(), which can happen after the call to
   lru_add_drain_all().
c) No or voluntary only preemption.

This all seems pretty unlikely to happen, but indeed is hit by
the "xe_exec_system_allocator" igt test.

Resolve this by waiting for the folio to be unlocked if the
folio_trylock() fails in do_swap_page().

Rename migration_entry_wait_on_locked() to
softleaf_entry_wait_unlock() and update its documentation to
indicate the new use-case.

Future code improvements might consider moving
the lru_add_drain_all() call in migrate_device_unmap() to be
called *after* all pages have migration entries inserted.
That would eliminate also b) above.

v2:
- Instead of a cond_resched() in hmm_range_fault(),
  eliminate the problem by waiting for the folio to be unlocked
  in do_swap_page() (Alistair Popple, Andrew Morton)
v3:
- Add a stub migration_entry_wait_on_locked() for the
  !CONFIG_MIGRATION case. (Kernel Test Robot)
v4:
- Rename migrate_entry_wait_on_locked() to
  softleaf_entry_wait_on_locked() and update docs (Alistair Popple)
v5:
- Add a WARN_ON_ONCE() for the !CONFIG_MIGRATION
  version of softleaf_entry_wait_on_locked().
- Modify wording around function names in the commit message

<content type='text'>
Unmapped was added as a parameter to __folio_split() and related call
sites to support splitting of folios already in the midst of a migration. 
This special case arose for device private folio migration since during
migration there could be a disconnect between source and destination on
the folio size.

Introduce folio_split_unmapped() to handle this special case.  Also
refactor code and add __folio_freeze_and_split_unmapped() helper that is
common to both __folio_split() and folio_split_unmapped().

This in turn removes the special casing introduced by the unmapped
parameter in __folio_split().

Having converted so much of the code base to software leaf entries, we can
mop up some remaining cases.

We replace is_pfn_swap_entry(), pfn_swap_entry_to_page(),
is_writable_device_private_entry(), is_device_exclusive_entry(),
is_migration_entry(), is_writable_migration_entry(),
is_readable_migration_entry(), swp_offset_pfn() and pfn_swap_entry_folio()
with softleaf equivalents.

No functional change intended.

<content type='text'>
Introduce softleaf_from_pmd() to do the equivalent operation for PMDs that
softleaf_from_pte() fulfils, and cascade changes through code base
accordingly, introducing helpers as necessary.

We are then able to eliminate pmd_to_swp_entry(),
is_pmd_migration_entry(), is_pmd_device_private_entry() and
is_pmd_non_present_folio_entry().

This further establishes the use of leaf operations throughout the code
base and further establishes the foundations for eliminating
is_swap_pmd().

No functional change intended.

Implement migrate_vma_split_pages() to handle THP splitting during the
migration process when destination cannot allocate compound pages.

This addresses the common scenario where migrate_vma_setup() succeeds with
MIGRATE_PFN_COMPOUND pages, but the destination device cannot allocate
large pages during the migration phase.

Key changes:
- migrate_vma_split_pages(): Split already-isolated pages during migration
- Enhanced folio_split() and __split_unmapped_folio() with isolated
  parameter to avoid redundant unmap/remap operations

This provides a fallback mechansim to ensure migration succeeds even when
large page allocation fails at the destination.

<id>urn:sha1:a30b48bf1b244f11bf9b6d20cdccfe0c2264130c</id>
<content type='text'>
MIGRATE_VMA_SELECT_COMPOUND will be used to select THP pages during
migrate_vma_setup() and MIGRATE_PFN_COMPOUND will make migrating device
pages as compound pages during device pfn migration.

migrate_device code paths go through the collect, setup and finalize
phases of migration.

The entries in src and dst arrays passed to these functions still remain
at a PAGE_SIZE granularity.  When a compound page is passed, the first
entry has the PFN along with MIGRATE_PFN_COMPOUND and other flags set
(MIGRATE_PFN_MIGRATE, MIGRATE_PFN_VALID), the remaining entries
(HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1) are filled with 0's.  This representation allows for
the compound page to be split into smaller page sizes.

migrate_vma_collect_hole(), migrate_vma_collect_pmd() are now THP page
aware.  Two new helper functions migrate_vma_collect_huge_pmd() and
migrate_vma_insert_huge_pmd_page() have been added.

migrate_vma_collect_huge_pmd() can collect THP pages, but if for some
reason this fails, there is fallback support to split the folio and
migrate it.

migrate_vma_insert_huge_pmd_page() closely follows the logic of
migrate_vma_insert_page()

Support for splitting pages as needed for migration will follow in later
patches in this series.

<content type='text'>
Extend migrate_vma_collect_pmd() to handle partially mapped large folios
that require splitting before migration can proceed.

During PTE walk in the collection phase, if a large folio is only
partially mapped in the migration range, it must be split to ensure the
folio is correctly migrated.

<title>treewide: remove MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS</title>

<content type='text'>
At this point MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS is misnamed for all folio users,
and now that we remove MIGRATEPAGE_UNMAP, it's really the only "success"
return value that the code uses and expects.

Let's just get rid of MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS completely and just use "0"
for success.

<title>mm: remove redundant pXd_devmap calls</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8a6a984c2e0ea406459b445a3910a454bece3aa1</id>
<content type='text'>
DAX was the only thing that created pmd_devmap and pud_devmap entries
however it no longer does as DAX pages are now refcounted normally and
pXd_trans_huge() returns true for those.  Therefore checking both
pXd_devmap and pXd_trans_huge() is redundant and the former can be removed
without changing behaviour as it will always be false.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros
   Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
   compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.

   This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
   reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect.

 - The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some
   relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.

 - The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David
   Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using
   device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
   needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now
   succeed.

 - The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed
   remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated
   for half a year and nobody has complained.

 - The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime
   effects are anticipated.

 - The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from
   process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the
   madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed
   in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark.

 - The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from
   Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan
   noticed when working on the swap code.

 - The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin
   Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak
   user-visible output.

 - The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes
   handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's
   handling of large folios.

 - The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk()
   behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of
   kdamond's walking of DAMON regions.

 - The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and
   core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory
   work for the future removal of page structure fields.

 - The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter"
   from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by
   huge page sizes.

 - The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings"
   from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its
   present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and
   file-backed mappings.

 - The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during
   reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping
   for pte-mapped large folios.

 - The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren
   Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for
   pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more
   messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one
   microbenchmark.

 - The series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and
   improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON
   docs.

 - The series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank
   van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed
   when using CMA on large machines.

 - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages"
   from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the
   page's mapped/unmapped status.

 - The series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey
   Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression
   operations preemptibly.

 - The series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from
   Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan
   encountered while runnimg our selftests.

 - The series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from
   Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to
   determine whether a particular page is a guard page.

 - The series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song
   removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply
   wasn't being effective.

 - The series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from
   David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this
   code.

 - The series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual
   implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP
   Kconfig logic.

 - The series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae
   Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for
   DAMON's aggregation interval tuning.

 - The series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in
   powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in
   preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize
   vmalloc.

 - The series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype
   fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the
   code easier to follow.

 - The series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from Shakeel
   Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase which
   we accidentally added late last year.

 - The series "Add a command line option that enables control of how
   many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas
   Prescher does that. It allows the careful operator to significantly
   reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page
   initialization.

 - The series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb"
   from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page
   balancing code.

 - The series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters useful
   and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow and
   reject filters. Behaviour is made more consistent and the documention
   is updated accordingly.

 - The series "Switch zswap to object read/write APIs" from Yosry Ahmed
   updates zswap to the new object read/write APIs and thus permits the
   removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc.

 - The series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang does as
   it claims.

 - The series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts" from
   Alistair Popple regularizes the weird ZONE_DEVICE page refcount
   handling in DAX, permittig the removal of a number of special-case
   checks.

 - The series "refactor mremap and fix bug" from Lorenzo Stoakes is a
   preparatoty refactoring and cleanup of the mremap() code.

 - The series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) +
   CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" from David Hildenbrand reworks the manner in
   which we determine whether a large folio is known to be mapped
   exclusively into a single MM.

 - The series "mm/damon: add sysfs dirs for managing DAMOS filters based
   on handling layers" from SeongJae Park adds a couple of new sysfs
   directories to ease the management of DAMON/DAMOS filters.

 - The series "arch, mm: reduce code duplication in mem_init()" from
   Mike Rapoport consolidates many per-arch implementations of
   mem_init() into code generic code, where that is practical.

 - The series "mm/damon/sysfs: commit parameters online via
   damon_call()" from SeongJae Park continues the cleaning up of sysfs
   access to DAMON internal data.

 - The series "mm: page_ext: Introduce new iteration API" from Luiz
   Capitulino reworks the page_ext initialization to fix a boot-time
   crash which was observed with an unusual combination of compile and
   cmdline options.

 - The series "Buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) folio split" from
   Zi Yan reworks the code to split a folio into smaller folios. The
   main benefit is lessened memory consumption: fewer post-split folios
   are generated.

 - The series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split" from Zi
   Yan reduces the number of xarray xa_nodes which are generated during
   an xarray split.

 - The series "drivers/base/memory: Two cleanups" from Gavin Shan
   performs some maintenance work on the drivers/base/memory code.

 - The series "Add tracepoints for lowmem reserves, watermarks and
   totalreserve_pages" from Martin Liu adds some more tracepoints to the
   page allocator code.

 - The series "mm/madvise: cleanup requests validations and
   classifications" from SeongJae Park cleans up some warts which
   SeongJae observed during his earlier madvise work.

 - The series "mm/hwpoison: Fix regressions in memory failure handling"
   from Shuai Xue addresses two quite serious regressions which Shuai
   has observed in the memory-failure implementation.

 - The series "mm: reliable huge page allocator" from Johannes Weiner
   makes huge page allocations cheaper and more reliable by reducing
   fragmentation.

 - The series "Minor memcg cleanups &amp; prep for memdescs" from Matthew
   Wilcox is preparatory work for the future implementation of memdescs.

 - The series "track memory used by balloon drivers" from Nico Pache
   introduces a way to track memory used by our various balloon drivers.

 - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for active pages"
   from Nhat Pham permits users to filter for active/inactive pages,
   separately for file and anon pages.

 - The series "Adding Proactive Memory Reclaim Statistics" from Hao Jia
   separates the proactive reclaim statistics from the direct reclaim
   statistics.

 - The series "mm/vmscan: don't try to reclaim hwpoison folio" from
   Jinjiang Tu fixes our handling of hwpoisoned pages within the reclaim
   code.
