Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that). - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock contention. Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees. Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up. - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down to the single bit level. KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones. - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of memory into THPs. - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to support file/shmem-backed pages. - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and memory-failure - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages. - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced memory consumption. - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song. - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner. - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :( - migration enhancements from Peter Xu - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM drivers, etc. - vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn. - NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand. - xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging activity. - THP & KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng. - more folio work from Matthew Wilcox. - KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov. - DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia. - DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups. - hugetlb sysfs cleanups from Muchun Song. - Mike Kravetz fixes locking issues in hugetlbfs and in hugetlb core.

mm: kmsan: call KMSAN hooks from SLUB code

2022-10-03T21:03:20+00:00

In order to report uninitialized memory coming from heap allocations KMSAN has to poison them unless they're created with __GFP_ZERO. It's handy that we need KMSAN hooks in the places where init_on_alloc/init_on_free initialization is performed. In addition, we apply __no_kmsan_checks to get_freepointer_safe() to suppress reports when accessing freelist pointers that reside in freed objects.

mm/slab_common: move declaration of __ksize() to mm/slab.h

__ksize() is only called by KASAN. Remove export symbol and move declaration to mm/slab.h as we don't want to grow its callers. Signed-off-by: Hyeonggon Yoo <42.hyeyoo@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Vlastimil Babka Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka

mm/sl[au]b: generalize kmalloc subsystem

2022-09-01T08:38:06+00:00

Now everything in kmalloc subsystem can be generalized. Let's do it! Generalize __do_kmalloc_node(), __kmalloc_node_track_caller(), kfree(), __ksize(), __kmalloc(), __kmalloc_node() and move them to slab_common.c. In the meantime, rename kmalloc_large_node_notrace() to __kmalloc_large_node() and make it static as it's now only called in slab_common.c.

mm/slab_common: kmalloc_node: pass large requests to page allocator

2022-08-24T14:11:41+00:00

Now that kmalloc_large_node() is in common code, pass large requests to page allocator in kmalloc_node() using kmalloc_large_node(). One problem is that currently there is no tracepoint in kmalloc_large_node(). Instead of simply putting tracepoint in it, use kmalloc_large_node{,_notrace} depending on its caller to show useful address for both inlined kmalloc_node() and __kmalloc_node_track_caller() when large objects are allocated.

mm: slab: optimize memcg_slab_free_hook()

2022-07-04T15:13:05+00:00

Most callers of memcg_slab_free_hook() already know the slab, which could be passed to memcg_slab_free_hook() directly to reduce the overhead of an another call of virt_to_slab(). For bulk freeing of objects, the call of slab_objcgs() in the loop in memcg_slab_free_hook() is redundant as well. Rework memcg_slab_free_hook() and build_detached_freelist() to reduce those unnecessary overhead and make memcg_slab_free_hook() can handle bulk freeing in slab_free(). Move the calling site of memcg_slab_free_hook() from do_slab_free() to slab_free() for slub to make the code clearer since the logic is weird (e.g. the caller need to judge whether it needs to call memcg_slab_free_hook()). It is easy to make mistakes like missing calling of memcg_slab_free_hook() like fixes of: commit d1b2cf6cb84a ("mm: memcg/slab: uncharge during kmem_cache_free_bulk()") commit ae085d7f9365 ("mm: kfence: fix missing objcg housekeeping for SLAB") This optimization is mainly for bulk objects freeing. The following numbers is shown for 16-object freeing. before after kmem_cache_free_bulk: ~430 ns ~400 ns The overhead is reduced by about 7% for 16-object freeing.

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka: - Conversion of slub_debug stack traces to stackdepot, allowing more useful debugfs-based inspection for e.g. memory leak debugging. Allocation and free debugfs info now includes full traces and is sorted by the unique trace frequency. The stackdepot conversion was already attempted last year but reverted by ae14c63a9f20. The memory overhead (while not actually enabled on boot) has been meanwhile solved by making the large stackdepot allocation dynamic. The xfstest issues haven't been reproduced on current kernel locally nor in -next, so the slab cache layout changes that originally made that bug manifest were probably not the root cause. - Refactoring of dma-kmalloc caches creation. - Trivial cleanups such as removal of unused parameters, fixes and clarifications of comments. - Hyeonggon Yoo joins as a reviewer. * tag 'slab-for-5.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab: MAINTAINERS: add myself as reviewer for slab mm/slub: remove unused kmem_cache_order_objects max mm: slab: fix comment for __assume_kmalloc_alignment mm: slab: fix comment for ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN mm/slub: remove unneeded return value of slab_pad_check mm/slab_common: move dma-kmalloc caches creation into new_kmalloc_cache() mm/slub: remove meaningless node check in ___slab_alloc() mm/slub: remove duplicate flag in allocate_slab() mm/slub: remove unused parameter in setup_object*() mm/slab.c: fix comments slab, documentation: add description of debugfs files for SLUB caches mm/slub: sort debugfs output by frequency of stack traces mm/slub: distinguish and print stack traces in debugfs files mm/slub: use stackdepot to save stack trace in objects mm/slub: move struct track init out of set_track() lib/stackdepot: allow requesting early initialization dynamically mm/slub, kunit: Make slub_kunit unaffected by user specified flags mm/slab: remove some unused functions
