The page allocator groups requests by migratetype to stave off
fragmentation. However, in practice this is routinely defeated by the
fact that it gives up *before* invoking reclaim and compaction - which may
well produce suitable pages. As a result, fragmentation of physical
memory is a common ongoing process in many load scenarios.
Fragmentation deteriorates compaction's ability to produce huge pages.
Depending on the lifetime of the fragmenting allocations, those effects
can be long-lasting or even permanent, requiring drastic measures like
forcible idle states or even reboots as the only reliable ways to recover
the address space for THP production.
In a kernel build test with supplemental THP pressure, the THP allocation
rate steadily declines over 15 runs:

This is a hurdle in adopting THP in any environment where hosts are shared
between multiple overlapping workloads (cloud environments), and rarely
experience true idle periods. To make THP a reliable and predictable
optimization, there needs to be a stronger guarantee to avoid such
fragmentation.
Introduce defrag_mode. When enabled, reclaim/compaction is invoked to its
full extent *before* falling back. Specifically, ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT is
enforced on the allocator fastpath and the reclaiming slowpath.
For now, fallbacks are permitted to avert OOMs. There is a plan to add
defrag_mode=2 to prefer OOMs over fragmentation, but this requires
additional prep work in compaction and the reserve management to make it
ready for all possible allocation contexts.
The following test results are from a kernel build with periodic bursts of
THP allocations, over 15 runs:
vanilla defrag_mode=1
@claimer[unmovable]: 189 103
@claimer[movable]: 92 103
@claimer[reclaimable]: 207 61
@pollute[unmovable from movable]: 25 0
@pollute[unmovable from reclaimable]: 28 0
@pollute[movable from unmovable]: 38835 0
@pollute[movable from reclaimable]: 147136 0
@pollute[reclaimable from unmovable]: 178 0
@pollute[reclaimable from movable]: 33 0
@steal[unmovable from movable]: 11 0
@steal[unmovable from reclaimable]: 5 0
@steal[reclaimable from unmovable]: 107 0
@steal[reclaimable from movable]: 90 0
@steal[movable from reclaimable]: 354 0
@steal[movable from unmovable]: 130 0
Both types of polluting fallbacks are eliminated in this workload.
Interestingly, whole block conversions are reduced as well. This is
because once a block is claimed for a type, its empty space remains
available for future allocations, instead of being padded with fallbacks;
this allows the native type to group up instead of spreading out to new
blocks. The assumption in the allocator has been that pollution from
movable allocations is less harmful than from other types, since they can
be reclaimed or migrated out should the space be needed. However, since
fallbacks occur *before* reclaim/compaction is invoked, movable pollution
will still cause non-movable allocations to spread out and claim more
blocks.
Without fragmentation, THP rates hold steady with defrag_mode=1:
thp_fault_alloc
32478
20725
45045
32130
14018
21711

29134
34458
45381
28305
17265
22584
28454
30850
While the downward trend is eliminated, the keen reader will of course
notice that the baseline rate is much smaller than the vanilla kernel's to
begin with. This is due to deficiencies in how reclaim and compaction are
currently driven: ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT increases the extent to which smaller
allocations are competing with THPs for pageblocks, while making no effort
themselves to reclaim or compact beyond their own request size. This
effect already exists with the current usage of ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT, but is
amplified by defrag_mode insisting on whole block stealing much more
strongly.
Subsequent patches will address defrag_mode reclaim strategy to raise the
THP success baseline above the vanilla kernel.

When the page allocator places pages of a certain migratetype into blocks
of another type, it has lasting effects on the ability to compact and
defragment down the line. For improving placement and compaction,
visibility into such events is crucial.
The most common case, allocator fallbacks, is already annotated, but
compaction capturing is also allowed to grab pages of a different type.
Extend the tracepoint to cover this case.

Patch series "mm: reliable huge page allocator".
This series makes changes to the allocator and reclaim/compaction code to
try harder to avoid fragmentation. As a result, this makes huge page
allocations cheaper, more reliable and more sustainable.
It's a subset of the huge page allocator RFC initially proposed here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230418191313.268131-1-hannes@cmpxchg.org/
The following results are from a kernel build test, with additional
concurrent bursts of THP allocations on a memory-constrained system.

THP latencies are cut in half, and failure rates are cut by 75%. These
metrics also hold up over time, while the vanilla kernel sees a steady
downward trend in success rates with each subsequent run, owed to the
cumulative effects of fragmentation.
A more detailed discussion of results is in the patch changelogs.
The patches first introduce a vm.defrag_mode sysctl, which enforces the
existing ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT alloc flag until after reclaim and compaction
have run. They then change kswapd and kcompactd to target pageblocks,
which boosts success in the ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT hotpaths.
Patches #1 and #2 are somewhat unrelated cleanups, but touch the same code
and so are included here to avoid conflicts from re-ordering.
This patch (of 5):
compaction_suitable() hardcodes the min watermark, with a boost to the low
watermark for costly orders. However, compaction_ready() requires order-0
at the high watermark. It currently checks the marks twice.
Make the watermark a parameter to compaction_suitable() and have the
callers pass in what they require:
- compaction_zonelist_suitable() is used by the direct reclaim path,
so use the min watermark.
- compact_suit_allocation_order() has a watermark in context derived
from cc->alloc_flags.
The only quirk is that kcompactd doesn't initialize cc->alloc_flags
explicitly. There is a direct check in kcompactd_do_work() that
passes ALLOC_WMARK_MIN, but there is another check downstack in
compact_zone() that ends up passing the unset alloc_flags. Since
they default to 0, and that coincides with ALLOC_WMARK_MIN, it is
correct. But it's subtle. Set cc->alloc_flags explicitly.
- should_continue_reclaim() is direct reclaim, use the min watermark.
- Finally, consolidate the two checks in compaction_ready() to a
single compaction_suitable() call passing the high watermark.
There is a tiny change in behavior: before, compaction_suitable()
would check order-0 against min or low, depending on costly
order. Then there'd be another high watermark check.
Now, the high watermark is passed to compaction_suitable(), and the
costly order-boost (low - min) is added on top. This means
compaction_ready() sets a marginally higher target for free pages.
In a kernelbuild + THP pressure test, though, this didn't show any
measurable negative effects on memory pressure or reclaim rates. As
the comment above the check says, reclaim is usually stopped short
on should_continue_reclaim(), and this just defines the worst-case
reclaim cutoff in case compaction is not making any headway.

When an uncorrected memory error is consumed there is a race between the
CMCI from the memory controller reporting an uncorrected error with a UCNA
signature, and the core reporting and SRAR signature machine check when
the data is about to be consumed.
- Background: why *UN*corrected errors tied to *C*MCI in Intel platform [1]
Prior to Icelake memory controllers reported patrol scrub events that
detected a previously unseen uncorrected error in memory by signaling a
broadcast machine check with an SRAO (Software Recoverable Action
Optional) signature in the machine check bank. This was overkill because
it's not an urgent problem that no core is on the verge of consuming that
bad data. It's also found that multi SRAO UCE may cause nested MCE
interrupts and finally become an IERR.
Hence, Intel downgrades the machine check bank signature of patrol scrub
from SRAO to UCNA (Uncorrected, No Action required), and signal changed to
#CMCI. Just to add to the confusion, Linux does take an action (in
uc_decode_notifier()) to try to offline the page despite the UC*NA*
signature name.
- Background: why #CMCI and #MCE race when poison is consuming in Intel platform [1]
Having decided that CMCI/UCNA is the best action for patrol scrub errors,
the memory controller uses it for reads too. But the memory controller is
executing asynchronously from the core, and can't tell the difference
between a "real" read and a speculative read. So it will do CMCI/UCNA if
an error is found in any read.
Thus:
1) Core is clever and thinks address A is needed soon, issues a speculative read.
2) Core finds it is going to use address A soon after sending the read request
3) The CMCI from the memory controller is in a race with MCE from the core
that will soon try to retire the load from address A.
Quite often (because speculation has got better) the CMCI from the memory
controller is delivered before the core is committed to the instruction
reading address A, so the interrupt is taken, and Linux offlines the page
(marking it as poison).
- Why user process is killed for instr case
Commit 046545a661af ("mm/hwpoison: fix error page recovered but reported
"not recovered"") tries to fix noise message "Memory error not recovered"
and skips duplicate SIGBUSs due to the race. But it also introduced a bug
that kill_accessing_process() return -EHWPOISON for instr case, as result,
kill_me_maybe() send a SIGBUS to user process.
If the CMCI wins that race, the page is marked poisoned when
uc_decode_notifier() calls memory_failure(). For dirty pages,
memory_failure() invokes try_to_unmap() with the TTU_HWPOISON flag,
converting the PTE to a hwpoison entry. As a result,
kill_accessing_process():
- call walk_page_range() and return 1 regardless of whether
try_to_unmap() succeeds or fails,
- call kill_proc() to make sure a SIGBUS is sent
- return -EHWPOISON to indicate that SIGBUS is already sent to the
process and kill_me_maybe() doesn't have to send it again.
However, for clean pages, the TTU_HWPOISON flag is cleared, leaving the
PTE unchanged and not converted to a hwpoison entry. Conversely, for
clean pages where PTE entries are not marked as hwpoison,
kill_accessing_process() returns -EFAULT, causing kill_me_maybe() to send
a SIGBUS.
Console log looks like this:
Memory failure: 0x827ca68: corrupted page was clean: dropped without side effects
Memory failure: 0x827ca68: recovery action for clean LRU page: Recovered
Memory failure: 0x827ca68: already hardware poisoned
mce: Memory error not recovered
To fix it, return 0 for "corrupted page was clean", preventing an
unnecessary SIGBUS to user process.

Patch series "mm/hwpoison: Fix regressions in memory failure handling",
v4.
## 1. What am I trying to do:
This patchset resolves two critical regressions related to memory failure
handling that have appeared in the upstream kernel since version 5.17, as
compared to 5.10 LTS.
- copyin case: poison found in user page while kernel copying from user space
- instr case: poison found while instruction fetching in user space
## 2. What is the expected outcome and why
- For copyin case:
Kernel can recover from poison found where kernel is doing get_user() or
copy_from_user() if those places get an error return and the kernel return
-EFAULT to the process instead of crashing. More specifily, MCE handler
checks the fixup handler type to decide whether an in kernel #MC can be
recovered. When EX_TYPE_UACCESS is found, the PC jumps to recovery code
specified in _ASM_EXTABLE_FAULT() and return a -EFAULT to user space.
- For instr case:
If a poison found while instruction fetching in user space, full recovery
is possible. User process takes #PF, Linux allocates a new page and fills
by reading from storage.
## 3. What actually happens and why
- For copyin case: kernel panic since v5.17
Commit 4c132d1d844a ("x86/futex: Remove .fixup usage") introduced a new
extable fixup type, EX_TYPE_EFAULT_REG, and later patches updated the
extable fixup type for copy-from-user operations, changing it from
EX_TYPE_UACCESS to EX_TYPE_EFAULT_REG. It breaks previous EX_TYPE_UACCESS
handling when posion found in get_user() or copy_from_user().
- For instr case: user process is killed by a SIGBUS signal due to #CMCI
and #MCE race
When an uncorrected memory error is consumed there is a race between the
CMCI from the memory controller reporting an uncorrected error with a UCNA
signature, and the core reporting and SRAR signature machine check when
the data is about to be consumed.
### Background: why *UN*corrected errors tied to *C*MCI in Intel platform [1]

and skips duplicate SIGBUSs due to the race. But it also introduced a bug
that kill_accessing_process() return -EHWPOISON for instr case, as result,
kill_me_maybe() send a SIGBUS to user process.
# 4. The fix, in my opinion, should be:
- For copyin case:
The key point is whether the error context is in a read from user memory.
We do not care about the ex-type if we know its a MOV reading from
userspace.
is_copy_from_user() return true when both of the following two checks are
true:
- the current instruction is copy
- source address is user memory
If copy_user is true, we set
m->kflags |= MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPYIN | MCE_IN_KERNEL_RECOV;
Then do_machine_check() will try fixup_exception() first.
- For instr case: let kill_accessing_process() return 0 to prevent a SIGBUS.
- For patch 3:
The return value of memory_failure() is quite important while discussed
instr case regression with Tony and Miaohe for patch 2, so add comment
about the return value.
This patch (of 3):
Commit 4c132d1d844a ("x86/futex: Remove .fixup usage") introduced a new
extable fixup type, EX_TYPE_EFAULT_REG, and commit 4c132d1d844a
("x86/futex: Remove .fixup usage") updated the extable fixup type for
copy-from-user operations, changing it from EX_TYPE_UACCESS to
EX_TYPE_EFAULT_REG. The error context for copy-from-user operations no
longer functions as an in-kernel recovery context. Consequently, the
error context for copy-from-user operations no longer functions as an
in-kernel recovery context, resulting in kernel panics with the message:
"Machine check: Data load in unrecoverable area of kernel."
To address this, it is crucial to identify if an error context involves a
read operation from user memory. The function is_copy_from_user() can be
utilized to determine:
- the current operation is copy
- when reading user memory
When these conditions are met, is_copy_from_user() will return true,
confirming that it is indeed a direct copy from user memory. This check
is essential for correctly handling the context of errors in these
operations without relying on the extable fixup types that previously
allowed for in-kernel recovery.
So, use is_copy_from_user() to determine if a context is copy user directly.

The PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED bit is used to provide mutual exclusion of node
reclaim for struct pglist_data using a single bit.
Use test_and_set_bit_lock rather than test_and_set_bit to test-and-set
PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED with an acquire memory ordering semantic.
This changes the "lock" acquisition from a full barrier to an acquire
memory ordering, which is weaker. The acquire semi-permeable barrier
paired with the release on unlock is sufficient for this mutual exclusion
use-case.
No behavior change intended other than to reduce overhead by using the
appropriate barrier.

The PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED bit is used to provide mutual exclusion of node
reclaim for struct pglist_data using a single bit.
It is "locked" with a test_and_set_bit (similarly to a try lock) which
provides full ordering with respect to loads and stores done within
__node_reclaim().
It is "unlocked" with clear_bit(), which does not provide any ordering
with respect to loads and stores done before clearing the bit.
The lack of clear_bit() memory ordering with respect to stores within
__node_reclaim() can cause a subsequent CPU to fail to observe stores from
a prior node reclaim. This is not an issue in practice on TSO (e.g.
x86), but it is an issue on weakly-ordered architectures (e.g. arm64).
Fix this by using clear_bit_unlock rather than clear_bit to clear
PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED with a release memory ordering semantic.
This provides stronger memory ordering (release rather than relaxed).

madvise_do_behavior() has a long open-coded 'behavior' check for
MADV_POPULATE_{READ,WRITE}. It adds multiple layers[1] and make the code
arguably take longer time to read. Like is_memory_failure(), split out
the check to a separate function. This is not technically removing the
additional layer but discourage further extending the switch-case. Also
it makes madvise_do_behavior() code shorter and therefore easier to read.

Patch series "mm/madvise: cleanup requests validations and classifications".
Cleanup madvise entry level code for cleaner request validations and
classifications.
This patch (of 4):
To reduce redundant open-coded checks of CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE and
MADV_{HWPOISON,SOFT_OFFLINE} in madvise_[un]lock(), is_memory_failure() is
introduced. madvise_do_behavior() is still doing the same open-coded
check, though. Use is_memory_failure() instead.
To avoid build failure on !CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE case, implement an empty
madvise_inject_error() under the config. Also move the definition of
is_memory_failure() inside #ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE clause for
madvise_inject_error() definition, to reduce duplicated ifdef clauses.

This commit introduces a new trace event,
`mm_calculate_totalreserve_pages`, which reports the new reserve value at
the exact time when it takes effect.
The `totalreserve_pages` value represents the total amount of memory
reserved across all zones and nodes in the system. This reserved memory
is crucial for ensuring that critical kernel operations have access to
sufficient memory, even under memory pressure.
By tracing the `totalreserve_pages` value, developers can gain insights
that how the total reserved memory changes over time.

During shmem_split_large_entry(), large swap entries are covering n slots
and an order-0 folio needs to be inserted.
Instead of splitting all n slots, only the 1 slot covered by the folio
need to be split and the remaining n-1 shadow entries can be retained with
orders ranging from 0 to n-1. This method only requires
(n/XA_CHUNK_SHIFT) new xa_nodes instead of (n % XA_CHUNK_SHIFT) *
(n/XA_CHUNK_SHIFT) new xa_nodes, compared to the original
xas_split_alloc() + xas_split() one.
For example, to split an order-9 large swap entry (assuming XA_CHUNK_SHIFT
is 6), 1 xa_node is needed instead of 8.
xas_try_split_min_order() is used to reduce the number of calls to
xas_try_split() during split.

Patch series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split", v3.
When splitting a multi-index entry in XArray from order-n to order-m,
existing xas_split_alloc()+xas_split() approach requires 2^(n %
XA_CHUNK_SHIFT) xa_node allocations. But its callers,
__filemap_add_folio() and shmem_split_large_entry(), use at most 1
xa_node. To minimize xa_node allocation and remove the limitation of no
split from order-12 (or above) to order-0 (or anything between 0 and
5)[1], xas_try_split() was added[2], which allocates (n / XA_CHUNK_SHIFT -
m / XA_CHUNK_SHIFT) xa_node. It is used for non-uniform folio split, but
can be used by __filemap_add_folio() and shmem_split_large_entry().
xas_split_alloc() and xas_split() split an order-9 to order-0:
---------------------------------
| | | | | | | | |
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| | | | | | | | |
---------------------------------
| | | |
------- --- --- -------
| | ... | |
V V V V
----------- ----------- ----------- -----------
| xa_node | | xa_node | ... | xa_node | | xa_node |
----------- ----------- ----------- -----------
xas_try_split() splits an order-9 to order-0:
---------------------------------
| | | | | | | | |
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| | | | | | | | |
---------------------------------
|
|
V
-----------
| xa_node |
-----------
xas_try_split() is designed to be called iteratively with n = m + 1.
xas_try_split_mini_order() is added to minmize the number of calls to
xas_try_split() by telling the caller the next minimal order to split to
instead of n - 1. Splitting order-n to order-m when m= l * XA_CHUNK_SHIFT
does not require xa_node allocation and requires 1 xa_node when n=l *
XA_CHUNK_SHIFT and m = n - 1, so it is OK to use xas_try_split() with n >
m + 1 when no new xa_node is needed.
xfstests quick group test passed on xfs and tmpfs.

Instead of splitting the large folio uniformly during truncation, try to
use buddy allocator like folio_split() at the start and the end of a
truncation range to minimize the number of resulting folios if it is
supported. try_folio_split() is introduced to use folio_split() if
supported and it falls back to uniform split otherwise.
For example, to truncate a order-4 folio
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ..., 15]
between [3, 10] (inclusive), folio_split() splits the folio at 3 to
[0,1], [2], [3], [4..7], [8..15] and [3], [4..7] can be dropped and
[8..15] is kept with zeros in [8..10], then another folio_split() is
done at 10, so [8..10] can be dropped.
One possible optimization is to make folio_split() to split a folio based
on a given range, like [3..10] above. But that complicates folio_split(),
so it will be investigated when necessary.

Now split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() uses the new backend split code in
__split_unmapped_folio(), the old __split_huge_page() and
__split_huge_page_tail() can be removed.

folio_split() splits a large folio in the same way as buddy allocator
splits a large free page for allocation. The purpose is to minimize the
number of folios after the split. For example, if user wants to free the
3rd subpage in a order-9 folio, folio_split() will split the order-9 folio
as:
O-0, O-0, O-0, O-0, O-2, O-3, O-4, O-5, O-6, O-7, O-8 if it is anon,
since anon folio does not support order-1 yet.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| | | | | | | | |
|O-0|O-0|O-0|O-0| O-2 |...| O-7 | O-8 |
| | | | | | | | |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
O-1, O-0, O-0, O-2, O-3, O-4, O-5, O-6, O-7, O-9 if it is pagecache
---------------------------------------------------------------
| | | | | | | |
| O-1 |O-0|O-0| O-2 |...| O-7 | O-8 |
| | | | | | | |
---------------------------------------------------------------
It generates fewer folios (i.e., 11 or 10) than existing page split
approach, which splits the order-9 to 512 order-0 folios. It also reduces
the number of new xa_node needed during a pagecache folio split from 8 to
1, potentially decreasing the folio split failure rate due to memory
constraints.
folio_split() and existing split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() share the
folio unmapping and remapping code in __folio_split() and the common
backend split code in __split_unmapped_folio() using uniform_split
variable to distinguish their operations.
uniform_split_supported() and non_uniform_split_supported() are added to
factor out check code and will be used outside __folio_split() in the
following commit.

This is a preparation patch for folio_split().
In the upcoming patch folio_split() will share folio unmapping and
remapping code with split_huge_page_to_list_to_order(), so move the code
to a common function __folio_split() first.
Add a TODO for splitting large shmem folio in swap cache.

This is a preparation patch, both added functions are not used yet.
The added __split_unmapped_folio() is able to split a folio with its
mapping removed in two manners: 1) uniform split (the existing way), and
2) buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) split.
The added __split_folio_to_order() can split a folio into any lower order.
For uniform split, __split_unmapped_folio() calls it once to split the
given folio to the new order. For buddy allocator like (non-uniform)
split, __split_unmapped_folio() calls it (folio_order - new_order) times
and each time splits the folio containing the given page to one lower
order.

Patch series "Buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) folio split", v10.
This patchset adds a new buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) large folio
split from a order-n folio to order-m with m < n. It reduces
1. the total number of after-split folios from 2^(n-m) to n-m+1;
2. the amount of memory needed for multi-index xarray split from 2^(n/6-m/6) to
n/6-m/6, assuming XA_CHUNK_SHIFT=6;
3. keep more large folios after a split from all order-m folios to
order-(n-1) to order-m folios.
For example, to split an order-9 to order-0, folio split generates 10 (or
11 for anonymous memory) folios instead of 512, allocates 1 xa_node
instead of 8, and leaves 1 order-8, 1 order-7, ..., 1 order-1 and 2
order-0 folios (or 4 order-0 for anonymous memory) instead of 512 order-0
folios.
Instead of duplicating existing split_huge_page*() code, __folio_split()
is introduced as the shared backend code for both
split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() and folio_split(). __folio_split() can
support both uniform split and buddy allocator like (or non-uniform)
split. All existing split_huge_page*() users can be gradually converted
to use folio_split() if possible. In this patchset, I converted
truncate_inode_partial_folio() to use folio_split().
xfstests quick group passed for both tmpfs and xfs. I also
semi-replicated Hugh's test[12] and ran it without any issue for almost 24
hours.
This patch (of 8):
A preparation patch for non-uniform folio split, which always split a
folio into half iteratively, and minimal xarray entry split.
Currently, xas_split_alloc() and xas_split() always split all slots from a
multi-index entry. They cost the same number of xa_node as the
to-be-split slots. For example, to split an order-9 entry, which takes
2^(9-6)=8 slots, assuming XA_CHUNK_SHIFT is 6 (!CONFIG_BASE_SMALL), 8
xa_node are needed. Instead xas_try_split() is intended to be used
iteratively to split the order-9 entry into 2 order-8 entries, then split
one order-8 entry, based on the given index, to 2 order-7 entries, ...,
and split one order-1 entry to 2 order-0 entries. When splitting the
order-6 entry and a new xa_node is needed, xas_try_split() will try to
allocate one if possible. As a result, xas_try_split() would only need 1
xa_node instead of 8.
When a new xa_node is needed during the split, xas_try_split() can try to
allocate one but no more. -ENOMEM will be return if a node cannot be
allocated. -EINVAL will be return if a sibling node is split or cascade
split happens, where two or more new nodes are needed, and these are not
supported by xas_try_split().
xas_split_alloc() and xas_split() split an order-9 to order-0:
---------------------------------

| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |

pte_page() is more expensive than pte_pfn() (often it's defined as
pfn_to_page(pte_pfn())), so it makes sense to do the conversion to pfn
once (by calling folio_pfn()) rather than convert the pfn to a page each
time.
While this is a very small advantage, the main motivation is removing a
reference to folio->page.

According to the code logic, the first parameter of the sub-function
__get_vm_area_node() should be size instead of real_size.
Then in __get_vm_area_node(), the size will be aligned, so the redundant
alignment operation is deleted.
The use of the real_size variable causes code redundancy, so it is removed
to simplify the code.
The real prefix is generally used to indicate the adjusted value of a
parameter, but according to the code logic, it should indicate the
original value, so it is recommended to rename it to original_align.

Patch series "mm: page_ext: Introduce new iteration API", v3.
Introduction
============
[ Thanks to David Hildenbrand for identifying the root cause of this
issue and proving guidance on how to fix it. The new API idea, bugs
and misconceptions are all mine though ]
Currently, trying to reserve 1G pages with page_owner=on and sparsemem
causes a crash. The reproducer is very simple:
1. Build the kernel with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y and the table extensions
2. Pass 'default_hugepagesz=1 page_owner=on' in the kernel command-line
3. Reserve one 1G page at run-time, this should crash (see patch 1 for
backtrace)
[ A crash with page_table_check is also possible, but harder to trigger ]
Apparently, starting with commit cf54f310d0d3 ("mm/hugetlb: use __GFP_COMP
for gigantic folios") we now pass the full allocation order to page
extension clients and the page extension implementation assumes that all
PFNs of an allocation range will be stored in the same memory section (which
is not true for 1G pages).
To fix this, this series introduces a new iteration API for page extension
objects. The API checks if the next page extension object can be retrieved
from the current section or if it needs to look up for it in another
section.
Please, find all details in patch 1.
I tested this series on arm64 and x86 by reserving 1G pages at run-time
and doing kernel builds (always with page_owner=on and page_table_check=on).
This patch (of 3):
The page extension implementation assumes that all page extensions of a
given page order are stored in the same memory section. The function
page_ext_next() relies on this assumption by adding an offset to the
current object to return the next adjacent page extension.
This behavior works as expected for flatmem but fails for sparsemem when
using 1G pages. The commit cf54f310d0d3 ("mm/hugetlb: use __GFP_COMP for
gigantic folios") exposes this issue, making it possible for a crash when
using page_owner or page_table_check page extensions.
The problem is that for 1G pages, the page extensions may span memory
section boundaries and be stored in different memory sections. This issue
was not visible before commit cf54f310d0d3 ("mm/hugetlb: use __GFP_COMP
for gigantic folios") because alloc_contig_pages() never passed more than
MAX_PAGE_ORDER to post_alloc_hook(). However, the series introducing
mentioned commit changed this behavior allowing the full 1G page order to
be passed.
Reproducer:
1. Build the kernel with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y and table extensions
support
2. Pass 'default_hugepagesz=1 page_owner=on' in the kernel command-line
3. Reserve one 1G page at run-time, this should crash (backtrace below)
To address this issue, this commit introduces a new API for iterating
through page extensions. The main iteration macro is for_each_page_ext()
and it must be called with the RCU read lock taken. Here's an usage
example:
"""
struct page_ext_iter iter;
struct page_ext *page_ext;
...
rcu_read_lock();
for_each_page_ext(page, 1 << order, page_ext, iter) {
struct my_page_ext *obj = get_my_page_ext_obj(page_ext);
...
}
rcu_read_unlock();
"""
The loop construct uses page_ext_iter_next() which checks to see if we
have crossed sections in the iteration. In this case,
page_ext_iter_next() retrieves the next page_ext object from another
section.
Thanks to David Hildenbrand for helping identify the root cause and
providing suggestions on how to fix and optmize the solution (final
implementation and bugs are all mine through).
Lastly, here's the backtrace, without kasan you can get random crashes:

The field was added to let users keep their personal data to use inside of
the callbacks. However, no one is actively using that now. Remove it.

damon_sysfs_schemes_clear_regions()
The comment on damon_sysfs_schemes_clear_regions() function is obsolete,
since it has updated to directly called from DAMON sysfs interface code.
Remove the outdated comment.

damon_sysfs_cmd_request is DAMON sysfs interface's own synchronization
mechanism for accessing DAMON internal data via damon_callback hooks. All
the users are now migrated to damon_call() and damos_walk(), so nobody
really uses it. No one writes to the data structure but reading code is
still remained. Remove the reading code and the entire data structure.

damon_sysfs_cmd_request_callback() is the damon_callback hook functions
that were used to handle user requests that need to read and/or write
DAMON internal data. All the usages are now updated to use damon_call()
or damos_walk(), though. Remove it and its callers.
