We are now in a position where no caller of pin_user_pages() requires the
vmas parameter at all, so eliminate this parameter from the function and
all callers.
This clears the way to removing the vmas parameter from GUP altogether.

Now that the GUP explicitly checks FOLL_LONGTERM pin_user_pages() for
broken file-backed mappings in "mm/gup: disallow FOLL_LONGTERM GUP-nonfast
writing to file-backed mappings", there is no need to explicitly check VMAs
for this condition, so simply remove this logic from io_uring altogether.

The only instances of get_user_pages_remote() invocations which used the
vmas parameter were for a single page which can instead simply look up the
VMA directly. In particular:-
- __update_ref_ctr() looked up the VMA but did nothing with it so we simply
remove it.
- __access_remote_vm() was already using vma_lookup() when the original
lookup failed so by doing the lookup directly this also de-duplicates the
code.
We are able to perform these VMA operations as we already hold the
mmap_lock in order to be able to call get_user_pages_remote().
As part of this work we add get_user_page_vma_remote() which abstracts the
VMA lookup, error handling and decrementing the page reference count should
the VMA lookup fail.
This forms part of a broader set of patches intended to eliminate the vmas
parameter altogether.

Patch series "remove the vmas parameter from GUP APIs", v6.
(pin_/get)_user_pages[_remote]() each provide an optional output parameter
for an array of VMA objects associated with each page in the input range.
These provide the means for VMAs to be returned, as long as mm->mmap_lock
is never released during the GUP operation (i.e. the internal flag
FOLL_UNLOCKABLE is not specified).
In addition, these VMAs can only be accessed with the mmap_lock held and
become invalidated the moment it is released.
The vast majority of invocations do not use this functionality and of
those that do, all but one case retrieve a single VMA to perform checks
upon.
It is not egregious in the single VMA cases to simply replace the
operation with a vma_lookup(). In these cases we duplicate the (fast)
lookup on a slow path already under the mmap_lock, abstracted to a new
get_user_page_vma_remote() inline helper function which also performs
error checking and reference count maintenance.
The special case is io_uring, where io_pin_pages() specifically needs to
assert that the VMAs underlying the range do not result in broken
long-term GUP file-backed mappings.
As GUP now internally asserts that FOLL_LONGTERM mappings are not
file-backed in a broken fashion (i.e. requiring dirty tracking) - as
implemented in "mm/gup: disallow FOLL_LONGTERM GUP-nonfast writing to
file-backed mappings" - this logic is no longer required and so we can
simply remove it altogether from io_uring.
Eliminating the vmas parameter eliminates an entire class of danging
pointer errors that might have occured should the lock have been
incorrectly released.
In addition, the API is simplified and now clearly expresses what it is
intended for - applying the specified GUP flags and (if pinning) returning
pinned pages.
This change additionally opens the door to further potential improvements
in GUP and the possible marrying of disparate code paths.
I have run this series against gup_test with no issues.
Thanks to Matthew Wilcox for suggesting this refactoring!
This patch (of 6):
No invocation of get_user_pages() use the vmas parameter, so remove it.
The GUP API is confusing and caveated. Recent changes have done much to
improve that, however there is more we can do. Exporting vmas is a prime
target as the caller has to be extremely careful to preclude their use
after the mmap_lock has expired or otherwise be left with dangling
pointers.
Removing the vmas parameter focuses the GUP functions upon their primary
purpose - pinning (and outputting) pages as well as performing the actions
implied by the input flags.
This is part of a patch series aiming to remove the vmas parameter
altogether.

Following the discussion about direct map fragmentaion at LSF/MM [1], it
appears that direct map fragmentation has a negligible effect on kernel
data accesses. Since the only reason that warranted secretmem to be
disabled by default was concern about performance regression caused by the
direct map fragmentation, it makes perfect sense to lift this restriction
and make secretmem enabled.
secretmem obeys RLIMIT_MEMBLOCK and as such it is not expected to cause
large fragmentation of the direct map or meaningfull increase in page
tables allocated during split of the large mappings in the direct map.
The secretmem.enable parameter is retained to allow system administrators
to disable secretmem at boot.
Switch the default setting of secretmem.enable parameter to 1.

This reverts commit 95e7a450b819 ("Revert "mm/compaction: fix set skip in
fast_find_migrateblock"").
Commit 7efc3b726103 ("mm/compaction: fix set skip in
fast_find_migrateblock") was reverted due to bug reports about khugepaged
consuming large amounts of CPU without making progress. The underlying
bug was partially fixed by commit cfccd2e63e7e ("mm, compaction: finish
pageblocks on complete migration failure") but it only mitigated the
problem and Vlastimil Babka pointing out the same issue could
theoretically happen to kcompactd.
As pageblocks containing pages that fail to migrate should now be forcibly
rescanned to set the skip hint if skip hints are used,
fast_find_migrateblock() should no longer loop on a small subset of
pageblocks for prolonged periods of time. Revert the revert so
fast_find_migrateblock() is effective again.
Using the mmtests config workload-usemem-stress-numa-compact, the number
of unique ranges scanned was analysed for both kcompactd and !kcompactd
activity.

Note that the vanilla kernel and the full series had some duplication of
ranges scanned but it was not severe and would be in line with compaction
resets when the skip hints are cleared. Just a revert of commit
7efc3b726103 ("mm/compaction: fix set skip in fast_find_migrateblock")
showed excessive rescans of the same ranges so the series should not
reintroduce bug 1206848.

at the start
isolate_migratepages_block should mark a pageblock as skip if scanning
started on an aligned pageblock boundary but it only updates the skip flag
if the first migration candidate is also aligned. Tracing during a
compaction stress load (mmtests: workload-usemem-stress-numa-compact) that
many pageblocks are not marked skip causing excessive scanning of blocks
that had been recently checked. Update pageblock skip based on
"valid_page" which is set if scanning started on a pageblock boundary.

fast_find_migrateblock relies on skip hints to avoid rescanning a recently
selected pageblock but compact_zone() only forces the pageblock scan
completion to set the skip hint if in direct compaction. While this
prevents direct compaction repeatedly scanning a subset of blocks due to
fast_find_migrateblock(), it does not prevent proactive compaction, node
compaction and kcompactd encountering the same problem described in commit
cfccd2e63e7e ("mm, compaction: finish pageblocks on complete migration
failure").
Force the scan completion of a pageblock to set the skip hint if skip
hints are obeyed to prevent fast_find_migrateblock() repeatedly selecting
a subset of pageblocks.

Patch series "Follow-up "Fix excessive CPU usage during compaction"".
The series "Fix excessive CPU usage during compaction" [1] attempted to
fix a bug [2] but Vlastimil noted that the fix was incomplete [3]. While
the series was merged, fast_find_migrateblock was still disabled. This
series should fix the corner cases and allow 95e7a450b819 ("Revert
"mm/compaction: fix set skip in fast_find_migrateblock"") to be safely
reverted. Details on how many pageblocks are rescanned are in the
changelog of the last patch.
"Raghavendra K T" tested this and reported "decent improvement from perf
perspective as well as compaction related data [4]

This patch (of 4):
compact_zone() intends to rescan pageblocks if there is a failure to
migrate "within the current order-aligned block". However, the pageblock
scan may already be complete and moved to the next block causing the next
pageblock to be "rescanned". Ensure only the most recent pageblock is
rescanned.

The pagewalk in pagemap_read reads one PTE past the end of the requested

the right result, the extra read is unnecessary and less performant.

HugeTLB pages have a struct page optimizations where struct pages for tail
pages are freed. However, when HugeTLB pages are destroyed, the memory
for struct pages (vmemmap) need to be allocated again.
Currently, __GFP_NORETRY flag is used to allocate the memory for vmemmap,
but given that this flag makes very little effort to actually reclaim
memory the returning of huge pages back to the system can be problem.
Lets use __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL instead. This flag is also performs graceful
reclaim without causing ooms, but at least it may perform a few retries,
and will fail only when there is genuinely little amount of unused memory
in the system.
Freeing a 1G page requires 16M of free memory. A machine might need to be
reconfigured from one task to another, and release a large number of 1G
pages back to the system if allocating 16M fails, the release won't work.

gcc-13 warns about function definitions for builtin interfaces that have a

581 | void __asan_store1(unsigned long addr);
kasan.h:643:6: error: conflicting types for built-in function '__hwasan_tag_memory'; expected 'void(void *, unsigned char, long int)' [-Werror=builtin-declaration-mismatch]
643 | void __hwasan_tag_memory(unsigned long addr, u8 tag, unsigned long size);
The two problems are:
- Addresses are passes as 'unsigned long' in the kernel, but gcc-13
expects a 'void *'.
- sizes meant to use a signed ssize_t rather than size_t.
Change all the prototypes to match these. Using 'void *' consistently for
addresses gets rid of a couple of type casts, so push that down to the
leaf functions where possible.
This now passes all randconfig builds on arm, arm64 and x86, but I have
not tested it on the other architectures that support kasan, since they
tend to fail randconfig builds in other ways. This might fail if any of
the 32-bit architectures expect a 'long' instead of 'int' for the size
argument.
The __asan_allocas_unpoison() function prototype is somewhat weird, since
it uses a pointer for 'stack_top' and an size_t for 'stack_bottom'. This
looks like it is meant to be 'addr' and 'size' like the others, but the
implementation clearly treats them as 'top' and 'bottom'.

After recent changes to the retrying and failure counting in
migrate_pages_batch(), it was found that it's unnecessary to count
retrying and failure for normal, large, and THP folios separately.
Because we don't use retrying and failure number of large folios directly.
So, in this patch, we simplified retrying and failure counting of large
folios via counting retrying and failure of normal and large folios
together. This results in the reduced line number.
Previously, in migrate_pages_batch we need to track whether the source
folio is large/THP before splitting. So is_large is used to cache
folio_test_large() result. Now, we don't need that variable any more
because we don't count retrying and failure of large folios (only counting
that of THP folios). So, in this patch, is_large is removed to simplify
the code.
This is just code cleanup, no functionality changes are expected.

Check the write offset end bounds before using it as the offset into the
pivot array. This avoids a possible out-of-bounds access on the pivot
array if the write extends to the last slot in the node, in which case the
node maximum should be used as the end pivot.

All other instances of gup_huge_pXd() perform the unshare check, so update
the PGD-specific function to do so as well.
While checking pgd_write() might seem unusual, this function already
performs such a check via pgd_access_permitted() so this is in line with
the existing implementation.
David said:
: This change makes unshare handling across all GUP-fast variants
: consistent, which is desirable as GUP-fast is complicated enough
: already even when consistent.
:
: This function was the only one I seemed to have missed (or left out and
: forgot why -- maybe because it's really dead code for now). The COW
: selftest would identify the problem, so far there was no report.
: Either the selftest wasn't run on corresponding architectures with that
: hugetlb size, or that code is still dead code and unused by
: architectures.
:
: the original commit(s) that added unsharing explain why we care about
: these checks:

There is currently no good way to query the page cache state of large file
sets and directory trees. There is mincore(), but it scales poorly: the
kernel writes out a lot of bitmap data that userspace has to aggregate,
when the user really doesn not care about per-page information in that
case. The user also needs to mmap and unmap each file as it goes along,
which can be quite slow as well.
Some use cases where this information could come in handy:
* Allowing database to decide whether to perform an index scan or
direct table queries based on the in-memory cache state of the
index.
* Visibility into the writeback algorithm, for performance issues
diagnostic.
* Workload-aware writeback pacing: estimating IO fulfilled by page
cache (and IO to be done) within a range of a file, allowing for
more frequent syncing when and where there is IO capacity, and
batching when there is not.
* Computing memory usage of large files/directory trees, analogous to
the du tool for disk usage.
More information about these use cases could be found in the following
thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230315170934.GA97793@cmpxchg.org/
This patch implements a new syscall that queries cache state of a file and
summarizes the number of cached pages, number of dirty pages, number of
pages marked for writeback, number of (recently) evicted pages, etc. in a
given range. Currently, the syscall is only wired in for x86
architecture.
NAME
cachestat - query the page cache statistics of a file.
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/mman.h>
struct cachestat_range {
__u64 off;
__u64 len;
};
struct cachestat {
__u64 nr_cache;
__u64 nr_dirty;
__u64 nr_writeback;
__u64 nr_evicted;
__u64 nr_recently_evicted;
};
int cachestat(unsigned int fd, struct cachestat_range *cstat_range,
struct cachestat *cstat, unsigned int flags);
DESCRIPTION
cachestat() queries the number of cached pages, number of dirty
pages, number of pages marked for writeback, number of evicted
pages, number of recently evicted pages, in the bytes range given by
`off` and `len`.
An evicted page is a page that is previously in the page cache but
has been evicted since. A page is recently evicted if its last
eviction was recent enough that its reentry to the cache would
indicate that it is actively being used by the system, and that
there is memory pressure on the system.
These values are returned in a cachestat struct, whose address is
given by the `cstat` argument.
The `off` and `len` arguments must be non-negative integers. If
`len` > 0, the queried range is [`off`, `off` + `len`]. If `len` ==
0, we will query in the range from `off` to the end of the file.
The `flags` argument is unused for now, but is included for future
extensibility. User should pass 0 (i.e no flag specified).
Currently, hugetlbfs is not supported.
Because the status of a page can change after cachestat() checks it
but before it returns to the application, the returned values may
contain stale information.
RETURN VALUE
On success, cachestat returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno
is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EFAULT cstat or cstat_args points to an invalid address.
EINVAL invalid flags.
EBADF invalid file descriptor.
EOPNOTSUPP file descriptor is of a hugetlbfs file

Patch series "cachestat: a new syscall for page cache state of files",
v13.
There is currently no good way to query the page cache statistics of large
files and directory trees. There is mincore(), but it scales poorly: the
kernel writes out a lot of bitmap data that userspace has to aggregate,
when the user really does not care about per-page information in that
case. The user also needs to mmap and unmap each file as it goes along,
which can be quite slow as well.
Some use cases where this information could come in handy:
* Allowing database to decide whether to perform an index scan or direct
table queries based on the in-memory cache state of the index.
* Visibility into the writeback algorithm, for performance issues
diagnostic.
* Workload-aware writeback pacing: estimating IO fulfilled by page cache
(and IO to be done) within a range of a file, allowing for more
frequent syncing when and where there is IO capacity, and batching
when there is not.
* Computing memory usage of large files/directory trees, analogous to
the du tool for disk usage.
More information about these use cases could be found in this thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230315170934.GA97793@cmpxchg.org/
This series of patches introduces a new system call, cachestat, that
summarizes the page cache statistics (number of cached pages, dirty pages,
pages marked for writeback, evicted pages etc.) of a file, in a specified
range of bytes. It also include a selftest suite that tests some typical
usage. Currently, the syscall is only wired in for x86 architecture.
This interface is inspired by past discussion and concerns with fincore,
which has a similar design (and as a result, issues) as mincore. Relevant
links:
https://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1302.1/04207.html
https://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1302.1/04209.html
I have also developed a small tool that computes the memory usage of files
and directories, analogous to the du utility. User can choose between
mincore or cachestat (with cachestat exporting more information than
mincore). To compare the performance of these two options, I benchmarked
the tool on the root directory of a Meta's server machine, each for five
runs:
Using cachestat
real -- Median: 33.377s, Average: 33.475s, Standard Deviation: 0.3602
user -- Median: 4.08s, Average: 4.1078s, Standard Deviation: 0.0742
sys -- Median: 28.823s, Average: 28.8866s, Standard Deviation: 0.2689
Using mincore:
real -- Median: 102.352s, Average: 102.3442s, Standard Deviation: 0.2059
user -- Median: 10.149s, Average: 10.1482s, Standard Deviation: 0.0162
sys -- Median: 91.186s, Average: 91.2084s, Standard Deviation: 0.2046
I also ran both syscalls on a 2TB sparse file:
Using cachestat:
real 0m0.009s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.009s
Using mincore:
real 0m37.510s
user 0m2.934s
sys 0m34.558s
Very large files like this are the pathological case for mincore. In
fact, to compute the stats for a single 2TB file, mincore takes as long as
cachestat takes to compute the stats for the entire tree! This could
easily happen inadvertently when we run it on subdirectories. Mincore is
clearly not suitable for a general-purpose command line tool.
Regarding security concerns, cachestat() should not pose any additional
issues. The caller already has read permission to the file itself (since
they need an fd to that file to call cachestat). This means that the
caller can access the underlying data in its entirety, which is a much
greater source of information (and as a result, a much greater security
risk) than the cache status itself.
The latest API change (in v13 of the patch series) is suggested by Jens
Axboe. It allows for 64-bit length argument, even on 32-bit architecture
(which is previously not possible due to the limit on the number of
syscall arguments). Furthermore, it eliminates the need for compatibility
handling - every user can use the same ABI.
This patch (of 4):
In preparation for computing recently evicted pages in cachestat, refactor
workingset_refault and lru_gen_refault to expose a helper function that
would test if an evicted page is recently evicted.

Before commit 29ef680ae7c2 ("memcg, oom: move out_of_memory back to the
charge path"), all memcg oom killers were delayed to page fault path. And
the explicit wakeup is used in this case:
thread A:
...
if (locked) { // complete oom-kill, hold the lock
mem_cgroup_oom_unlock(memcg);
...
}
...
thread B:
...
if (locked && !memcg->oom_kill_disable) {
...
} else {
schedule(); // can't acquire the lock
...
}
...
The reason is that thread A kicks off the OOM-killer, which leads to
wakeups from the uncharges of the exiting task. But thread B is not
guaranteed to see them if it enters the OOM path after the OOM kills but
before thread A releases the lock.
Now only oom_kill_disable case is handled from the #PF path. In that case
it is userspace to trigger the wake up not the #PF path itself. All
potential paths to free some charges are responsible to call
memcg_oom_recover() , so the explicit wakeup is not needed in the
mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize() path which doesn't release any memory itself.

mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize() is only used when the memcg oom handling is
handed over to the edge of the #PF path. Since commit 29ef680ae7c2
("memcg, oom: move out_of_memory back to the charge path") this is the
case only when the kernel memcg oom killer is disabled
(current->memcg_in_oom is only set if memcg->oom_kill_disable). Therefore
a check for oom_kill_disable in mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize() is not
required.

Currently, we approximate the root usage by adding the memcg stats for
anon, file, and conditionally swap (for memsw). To read the memcg stats
we need to invoke an rstat flush. rstat flushes can be expensive, they
scale with the number of cpus and cgroups on the system.
mem_cgroup_usage() is called by memcg_events()->mem_cgroup_threshold()
with irqs disabled, so such an expensive operation with irqs disabled can
cause problems.
Instead, approximate the root usage from global state. This is not 100%
accurate, but the root usage has always been ill-defined anyway.

The previous patch moved the wb_over_bg_thresh()->mem_cgroup_wb_stats()
code path in wb_writeback() outside the lock section. We no longer need
to flush the stats atomically. Flush the stats non-atomically.

Patch series "cgroup: eliminate atomic rstat flushing", v5.
A previous patch series [1] changed most atomic rstat flushing contexts to
become non-atomic. This was done to avoid an expensive operation that
scales with # cgroups and # cpus to happen with irqs disabled and
scheduling not permitted. There were two remaining atomic flushing
contexts after that series. This series tries to eliminate them as well,
eliminating atomic rstat flushing completely.
The two remaining atomic flushing contexts are:
(a) wb_over_bg_thresh()->mem_cgroup_wb_stats()
(b) mem_cgroup_threshold()->mem_cgroup_usage()
For (a), flushing needs to be atomic as wb_writeback() calls
wb_over_bg_thresh() with a spinlock held. However, it seems like the call
to wb_over_bg_thresh() doesn't need to be protected by that spinlock, so
this series proposes a refactoring that moves the call outside the lock
criticial section and makes the stats flushing in mem_cgroup_wb_stats()
non-atomic.
For (b), flushing needs to be atomic as mem_cgroup_threshold() is called
with irqs disabled. We only flush the stats when calculating the root
usage, as it is approximated as the sum of some memcg stats (file, anon,
and optionally swap) instead of the conventional page counter. This
series proposes changing this calculation to use the global stats instead,
eliminating the need for a memcg stat flush.
After these 2 contexts are eliminated, we no longer need
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic() or cgroup_rstat_flush_atomic(). We can
remove them and simplify the code.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230330191801.1967435-1-yosryahmed@google.com/
This patch (of 5):
wb_over_bg_thresh() calls mem_cgroup_wb_stats() which invokes an rstat
flush, which can be expensive on large systems. Currently,
wb_writeback() calls wb_over_bg_thresh() within a lock section, so we
have to do the rstat flush atomically. On systems with a lot of
cpus and/or cgroups, this can cause us to disable irqs for a long time,
potentially causing problems.
Move the call to wb_over_bg_thresh() outside the lock section in
preparation to make the rstat flush in mem_cgroup_wb_stats() non-atomic.
The list_empty(&wb->work_list) check should be okay outside the lock
section of wb->list_lock as it is protected by a separate lock
(wb->work_lock), and wb_over_bg_thresh() doesn't seem like it is
modifying any of wb->b_* lists the wb->list_lock is protecting.
Also, the loop seems to be already releasing and reacquring the
lock, so this refactoring looks safe.
