Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - Nick Piggin's "shoot lazy tlbs" series, to improve the peformance of switching from a user process to a kernel thread. - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang, Zhang Peng and Pankaj Raghav. - zsmalloc performance improvements from Sergey Senozhatsky. - Yue Zhao has found and fixed some data race issues around the alteration of memcg userspace tunables. - VFS rationalizations from Christoph Hellwig: - removal of most of the callers of write_one_page() - make __filemap_get_folio()'s return value more useful - Luis Chamberlain has changed tmpfs so it no longer requires swap backing. Use `mount -o noswap'. - Qi Zheng has made the slab shrinkers operate locklessly, providing some scalability benefits. - Keith Busch has improved dmapool's performance, making part of its operations O(1) rather than O(n). - Peter Xu adds the UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED feature to userfaultd, permitting userspace to wr-protect anon memory unpopulated ptes. - Kirill Shutemov has changed MAX_ORDER's meaning to be inclusive rather than exclusive, and has fixed a bunch of errors which were caused by its unintuitive meaning. - Axel Rasmussen give userfaultfd the UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP feature, which causes minor faults to install a write-protected pte. - Vlastimil Babka has done some maintenance work on vma_merge(): cleanups to the kernel code and improvements to our userspace test harness. - Cleanups to do_fault_around() by Lorenzo Stoakes. - Mike Rapoport has moved a lot of initialization code out of various mm/ files and into mm/mm_init.c. - Lorenzo Stoakes removd vmf_insert_mixed_prot(), which was added for DRM, but DRM doesn't use it any more. - Lorenzo has also coverted read_kcore() and vread() to use iterators and has thereby removed the use of bounce buffers in some cases. - Lorenzo has also contributed further cleanups of vma_merge(). - Chaitanya Prakash provides some fixes to the mmap selftesting code. - Matthew Wilcox changes xfs and afs so they no longer take sleeping locks in ->map_page(), a step towards RCUification of pagefaults. - Suren Baghdasaryan has improved mmap_lock scalability by switching to per-VMA locking. - Frederic Weisbecker has reworked the percpu cache draining so that it no longer causes latency glitches on cpu isolated workloads. - Mike Rapoport cleans up and corrects the ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER Kconfig logic. - Liu Shixin has changed zswap's initialization so we no longer waste a chunk of memory if zswap is not being used. - Yosry Ahmed has improved the performance of memcg statistics flushing. - David Stevens has fixed several issues involving khugepaged, userfaultfd and shmem. - Christoph Hellwig has provided some cleanup work to zram's IO-related code paths. - David Hildenbrand has fixed up some issues in the selftest code's testing of our pte state changing. - Pankaj Raghav has made page_endio() unneeded and has removed it. - Peter Xu contributed some rationalizations of the userfaultfd selftests. - Yosry Ahmed has fixed an issue around memcg's page recalim accounting. - Chaitanya Prakash has fixed some arm-related issues in the selftests/mm code. - Longlong Xia has improved the way in which KSM handles hwpoisoned pages. - Peter Xu fixes a few issues with uffd-wp at fork() time. - Stefan Roesch has changed KSM so that it may now be used on a per-process and per-cgroup basis. * tag 'mm-stable-2023-04-27-15-30' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (369 commits) mm,unmap: avoid flushing TLB in batch if PTE is inaccessible shmem: restrict noswap option to initial user namespace mm/khugepaged: fix conflicting mods to collapse_file() sparse: remove unnecessary 0 values from rc mm: move 'mmap_min_addr' logic from callers into vm_unmapped_area() hugetlb: pte_alloc_huge() to replace huge pte_alloc_map() maple_tree: fix allocation in mas_sparse_area() mm: do not increment pgfault stats when page fault handler retries zsmalloc: allow only one active pool compaction context selftests/mm: add new selftests for KSM mm: add new KSM process and sysfs knobs mm: add new api to enable ksm per process mm: shrinkers: fix debugfs file permissions mm: don't check VMA write permissions if the PTE/PMD indicates write permissions migrate_pages_batch: fix statistics for longterm pin retry userfaultfd: use helper function range_in_vma() lib/show_mem.c: use for_each_populated_zone() simplify code mm: correct arg in reclaim_pages()/reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() fs/buffer: convert create_page_buffers to folio_create_buffers fs/buffer: add folio_create_empty_buffers helper ...

mm: memcontrol: rename memcg_kmem_enabled()

2023-02-17T04:43:56+00:00

Currently there are two kmem-related helper functions with a confusing semantics: memcg_kmem_enabled() and mem_cgroup_kmem_disabled(). The problem is that an obvious expectation memcg_kmem_enabled() == !mem_cgroup_kmem_disabled(), can be false. mem_cgroup_kmem_disabled() is similar to mem_cgroup_disabled(): it returns true only if CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not set or the kmem accounting is disabled using a boot time kernel option "cgroup.memory=nokmem". It never changes the value dynamically. memcg_kmem_enabled() is different: it always returns false until the first non-root memory cgroup will get online (assuming the kernel memory accounting is enabled). It's goal is to improve the performance on systems without the cgroupfs mounted/memory controller enabled or on the systems with only the root memory cgroup. To make things more obvious and avoid potential bugs, let's rename memcg_kmem_enabled() to memcg_kmem_online().

mm/slab: add is_kmalloc_cache() helper function

commit 6edf2576a6cc ("mm/slub: enable debugging memory wasting of kmalloc") introduces 'SLAB_KMALLOC' bit specifying whether a kmem_cache is a kmalloc cache for slab/slub (slob doesn't have dedicated kmalloc caches). Add a helper inline function for other components like kasan to simplify code.

Merge my series [1] to deprecate the SLOB allocator. - Renames CONFIG_SLOB to CONFIG_SLOB_DEPRECATED with deprecation notice. - The recommended replacement is CONFIG_SLUB, optionally with the new CONFIG_SLUB_TINY tweaks for systems with 16MB or less RAM. - Use cases that stopped working with CONFIG_SLUB_TINY instead of SLOB should be reported to linux-mm@kvack.org and slab maintainers, otherwise SLOB will be removed in few cycles.

mm/slub, kunit: Add a test case for kmalloc redzone check

2022-11-30T23:06:45+00:00

kmalloc redzone check for slub has been merged, and it's better to add a kunit case for it, which is inspired by a real-world case as described in commit 120ee599b5bf ("staging: octeon-usb: prevent memory corruption"): " octeon-hcd will crash the kernel when SLOB is used. This usually happens after the 18-byte control transfer when a device descriptor is read. The DMA engine is always transferring full 32-bit words and if the transfer is shorter, some random garbage appears after the buffer. The problem is not visible with SLUB since it rounds up the allocations to word boundary, and the extra bytes will go undetected. " To avoid interrupting the normal functioning of kmalloc caches, a kmem_cache mimicing kmalloc cache is created with similar flags, and kmalloc_trace() is used to really test the orig_size and redzone setup.

mm, slab: ignore hardened usercopy parameters when disabled

2022-11-27T22:35:04+00:00

With CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY not enabled, there are no __check_heap_object() checks happening that would use the struct kmem_cache useroffset and usersize fields. Yet the fields are still initialized, preventing merging of otherwise compatible caches. Also the fields contribute to struct kmem_cache size unnecessarily when unused. Thus #ifdef them out completely when CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is disabled. In kmem_dump_obj() print object_size instead of usersize, as that's actually the intention. In a quick virtme boot test, this has reduced the number of caches in /proc/slabinfo from 131 to 111.

Merge branch 'slab/for-6.2/kmalloc_redzone' into slab/for-next

2022-11-21T09:36:09+00:00

kmalloc() redzone improvements by Feng Tang From cover letter [1]: kmalloc's API family is critical for mm, and one of its nature is that it will round up the request size to a fixed one (mostly power of 2). When user requests memory for '2^n + 1' bytes, actually 2^(n+1) bytes could be allocated, so there is an extra space than what is originally requested. This patchset tries to extend the redzone sanity check to the extra kmalloced buffer than requested, to better detect un-legitimate access to it. (depends on SLAB_STORE_USER & SLAB_RED_ZONE) [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221021032405.1825078-1-feng.tang@intel.com/
