mm: Add support for unaccepted memory
UEFI Specification version 2.9 introduces the concept of memory acceptance. Some Virtual Machine platforms, such as Intel TDX or AMD SEV-SNP, require memory to be accepted before it can be used by the guest. Accepting happens via a protocol specific to the Virtual Machine platform. There are several ways the kernel can deal with unaccepted memory: 1. Accept all the memory during boot. It is easy to implement and it doesn't have runtime cost once the system is booted. The downside is very long boot time. Accept can be parallelized to multiple CPUs to keep it manageable (i.e. via DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT), but it tends to saturate memory bandwidth and does not scale beyond the point. 2. Accept a block of memory on the first use. It requires more infrastructure and changes in page allocator to make it work, but it provides good boot time. On-demand memory accept means latency spikes every time kernel steps onto a new memory block. The spikes will go away once workload data set size gets stabilized or all memory gets accepted. 3. Accept all memory in background. Introduce a thread (or multiple) that gets memory accepted proactively. It will minimize time the system experience latency spikes on memory allocation while keeping low boot time. This approach cannot function on its own. It is an extension of #2: background memory acceptance requires functional scheduler, but the page allocator may need to tap into unaccepted memory before that. The downside of the approach is that these threads also steal CPU cycles and memory bandwidth from the user's workload and may hurt user experience. Implement #1 and #2 for now. #2 is the default. Some workloads may want to use #1 with accept_memory=eager in kernel command line. #3 can be implemented later based on user's demands. Support of unaccepted memory requires a few changes in core-mm code: - memblock accepts memory on allocation. It serves early boot memory allocations and doesn't limit them to pre-accepted pool of memory. - page allocator accepts memory on the first allocation of the page. When kernel runs out of accepted memory, it accepts memory until the high watermark is reached. It helps to minimize fragmentation. EFI code will provide two helpers if the platform supports unaccepted memory: - accept_memory() makes a range of physical addresses accepted. - range_contains_unaccepted_memory() checks anything within the range of physical addresses requires acceptance.

mm/page_alloc: add some comments to explain the possible hole in __pageblock_pfn_to_page()
Now the __pageblock_pfn_to_page() is used by set_zone_contiguous(), which checks whether the given zone contains holes, and uses pfn_to_online_page() to validate if the start pfn is online and valid, as well as using pfn_valid() to validate the end pfn. However, the __pageblock_pfn_to_page() function may return non-NULL even if the end pfn of a pageblock is in a memory hole in some situations. For example, if the pageblock order is MAX_ORDER, which will fall into 2 sub-sections, and the end pfn of the pageblock may be hole even though the start pfn is online and valid. See below memory layout as an example and suppose the pageblock order is MAX_ORDER. [ 0.000000] Zone ranges: [ 0.000000] DMA [mem 0x0000000040000000-0x00000000ffffffff] [ 0.000000] DMA32 empty [ 0.000000] Normal [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000001fa7ffffff] [ 0.000000] Movable zone start for each node [ 0.000000] Early memory node ranges [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000000040000000-0x0000001fa3c7ffff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa3c80000-0x0000001fa3ffffff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa4000000-0x0000001fa402ffff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa4030000-0x0000001fa40effff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa40f0000-0x0000001fa73cffff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa73d0000-0x0000001fa745ffff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa7460000-0x0000001fa746ffff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa7470000-0x0000001fa758ffff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa7590000-0x0000001fa7dfffff] Focus on the last memory range, and there is a hole for the range [mem 0x0000001fa7590000-0x0000001fa7dfffff]. That means the last pageblock will contain the range from 0x1fa7c00000 to 0x1fa7ffffff, since the pageblock must be 4M aligned. And in this pageblock, these pfns will fall into 2 sub-section (the sub-section size is 2M aligned). So, the 1st sub-section (indicates pfn range: 0x1fa7c00000 - 0x1fa7dfffff ) in this pageblock is valid by calling subsection_map_init() in free_area_init(), but the 2nd sub-section (indicates pfn range: 0x1fa7e00000 - 0x1fa7ffffff ) in this pageblock is not valid. This did not break anything until now, but the zone continuous is fragile in this possible scenario. So as previous discussion[1], it is better to add some comments to explain this possible issue in case there are some future pfn walkers that rely on this.

mm: page_alloc: skip regions with hugetlbfs pages when allocating 1G pages
A bug was reported by Yuanxi Liu where allocating 1G pages at runtime is taking an excessive amount of time for large amounts of memory. Further testing allocating huge pages that the cost is linear i.e. if allocating 1G pages in batches of 10 then the time to allocate nr_hugepages from 10->20->30->etc increases linearly even though 10 pages are allocated at each step. Profiles indicated that much of the time is spent checking the validity within already existing huge pages and then attempting a migration that fails after isolating the range, draining pages and a whole lot of other useless work.

mm/page_alloc: fix potential deadlock on zonelist_update_seq seqlock
syzbot is reporting circular locking dependency which involves
zonelist_update_seq seqlock [1], for this lock is checked by memory
allocation requests which do not need to be retried.
One deadlock scenario is kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) from an interrupt handler.
CPU0
----
__build_all_zonelists() {
write_seqlock(&zonelist_update_seq); // makes zonelist_update_seq.seqcount odd
// e.g. timer interrupt handler runs at this moment
some_timer_func() {
kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) {
__alloc_pages_slowpath() {
read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) {
// spins forever because zonelist_update_seq.seqcount is odd
}
}
}
}
// e.g. timer interrupt handler finishes
write_sequnlock(&zonelist_update_seq); // makes zonelist_update_seq.seqcount even
}
This deadlock scenario can be easily eliminated by not calling
read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) from !__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM allocation
requests, for retry is applicable to only __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM allocation
requests. But Michal Hocko does not know whether we should go with this
approach.
Another deadlock scenario which syzbot is reporting is a race between
kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) from tty_insert_flip_string_and_push_buffer() with
port->lock held and printk() from __build_all_zonelists() with
zonelist_update_seq held.
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
pty_write() {
tty_insert_flip_string_and_push_buffer() {
__build_all_zonelists() {
write_seqlock(&zonelist_update_seq);
build_zonelists() {
printk() {
vprintk() {
vprintk_default() {
vprintk_emit() {
console_unlock() {
console_flush_all() {
console_emit_next_record() {
con->write() = serial8250_console_write() {
spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock, flags);
tty_insert_flip_string() {
tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag() {
__tty_buffer_request_room() {
tty_buffer_alloc() {
kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC | __GFP_NOWARN) {
__alloc_pages_slowpath() {
zonelist_iter_begin() {
read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq); // spins forever because zonelist_update_seq.seqcount is odd
spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock, flags); // spins forever because port->lock is held
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&port->lock, flags);
// message is printed to console
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&port->lock, flags);
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
write_sequnlock(&zonelist_update_seq);
}
}
}
This deadlock scenario can be eliminated by
preventing interrupt context from calling kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC)
and
preventing printk() from calling console_flush_all()
while zonelist_update_seq.seqcount is odd.
Since Petr Mladek thinks that __build_all_zonelists() can become a
candidate for deferring printk() [2], let's address this problem by
disabling local interrupts in order to avoid kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC)
and
disabling synchronous printk() in order to avoid console_flush_all()
.
As a side effect of minimizing duration of zonelist_update_seq.seqcount
being odd by disabling synchronous printk(), latency at
read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) for both !__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM and
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM allocation requests will be reduced. Although, from
lockdep perspective, not calling read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) (i.e.
do not record unnecessary locking dependency) from interrupt context is
still preferable, even if we don't allow calling kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC)
inside
write_seqlock(&zonelist_update_seq)/write_sequnlock(&zonelist_update_seq)

mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely

This definition is counter-intuitive and lead to number of bugs all over the kernel.

kasan: remove PG_skip_kasan_poison flag
Code inspection reveals that PG_skip_kasan_poison is redundant with kasantag, because the former is intended to be set iff the latter is the match-all tag. It can also be observed that it's basically pointless to poison pages which have kasantag=0, because any pages with this tag would have been pointed to by pointers with match-all tags, so poisoning the pages would have little to no effect in terms of bug detection. Therefore, change the condition in should_skip_kasan_poison() to check kasantag instead, and remove PG_skip_kasan_poison and associated flags.

mm, page_alloc: reduce page alloc/free sanity checks
Historically, we have performed sanity checks on all struct pages being allocated or freed, making sure they have no unexpected page flags or certain field values. This can detect insufficient cleanup and some cases of use-after-free, although on its own it can't always identify the culprit. The result is a warning and the "bad page" being leaked. The checks do need some cpu cycles, so in 4.7 with commits |

mm: reduce lock contention of pcp buffer refill
rmqueue_bulk() batches the allocation of multiple elements to refill the per-CPU buffers into a single hold of the zone lock. Each element is allocated and checked using check_pcp_refill(). The check touches every related struct page which is especially expensive for higher order allocations (huge pages). This patch reduces the time holding the lock by moving the check out of the critical section similar to rmqueue_buddy() which allocates a single element. Measurements of parallel allocation-heavy workloads show a reduction of the average huge page allocation latency of 50 percent for two cores and nearly 90 percent for 24 cores.

mm: memcontrol: rename memcg_kmem_enabled()
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: page_alloc: call panic() when memoryless node allocation fails
In free_area_init(), we will continue to run after allocation of memoryless node pgdat fails. However, in the subsequent process (such as when initializing zonelist), the case that NODE_DATA(nid) is NULL is not handled, which will cause panic. Instead of this, it's better to call panic() directly when the memory allocation fails during system boot.

mm: discard __GFP_ATOMIC
__GFP_ATOMIC serves little purpose. Its main effect is to set ALLOC_HARDER which adds a few little boosts to increase the chance of an allocation succeeding, one of which is to lower the water-mark at which it will succeed. It is *always* paired with __GFP_HIGH which sets ALLOC_HIGH which also adjusts this watermark. It is probable that other users of __GFP_HIGH should benefit from the other little bonuses that __GFP_ATOMIC gets. __GFP_ATOMIC also gives a warning if used with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM. There is little point to this. We already get a might_sleep() warning if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is set. __GFP_ATOMIC allows the "watermark_boost" to be side-stepped. It is probable that testing ALLOC_HARDER is a better fit here. __GFP_ATOMIC is used by tegra-smmu.c to check if the allocation might sleep. This should test __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM instead. This patch: - removes __GFP_ATOMIC - allows __GFP_HIGH allocations to ignore watermark boosting as well as GFP_ATOMIC requests. - makes other adjustments as suggested by the above. The net result is not change to GFP_ATOMIC allocations. Other allocations that use __GFP_HIGH will benefit from a few different extra privileges. This affects: xen, dm, md, ntfs3 the vermillion frame buffer hibernation ksm swap all of which likely produce more benefit than cost if these selected allocation are more likely to succeed quickly.

mm/page_alloc: explicitly define how __GFP_HIGH non-blocking allocations accesses reserves
GFP_ATOMIC allocations get flagged ALLOC_HARDER which is a vague description. In preparation for the removal of GFP_ATOMIC redefine __GFP_ATOMIC to simply mean non-blocking and renaming ALLOC_HARDER to ALLOC_NON_BLOCK accordingly. __GFP_HIGH is required for access to reserves but non-blocking is granted more access. For example, GFP_NOWAIT is non-blocking but has no special access to reserves. A __GFP_NOFAIL blocking allocation is granted access similar to __GFP_HIGH if the only alternative is an OOM kill.

mm/page_alloc: treat RT tasks similar to __GFP_HIGH
RT tasks are allowed to dip below the min reserve but ALLOC_HARDER is typically combined with ALLOC_MIN_RESERVE so RT tasks are a little unusual. While there is some justification for allowing RT tasks access to memory reserves, there is a strong chance that a RT task that is also under memory pressure is at risk of missing deadlines anyway. Relax how much reserves an RT task can access by treating it the same as __GFP_HIGH allocations. Note that in a future kernel release that the RT special casing will be removed. Hard realtime tasks should be locking down resources in advance and ensuring enough memory is available. Even a soft-realtime task like audio or video live decoding which cannot jitter should be allocating both memory and any disk space required up-front before the recording starts instead of relying on reserves. At best, reserve access will only delay the problem by a very short interval.

mm/page_alloc: rename ALLOC_HIGH to ALLOC_MIN_RESERVE
Patch series "Discard __GFP_ATOMIC", v3. Neil's patch has been residing in mm-unstable as commit 2fafb4fe8f7a ("mm: discard __GFP_ATOMIC") for a long time and recently brought up again. Most recently, I was worried that __GFP_HIGH allocations could use high-order atomic reserves which is unintentional but there was no response so lets revisit -- this series reworks how min reserves are used, protects highorder reserves and then finishes with Neil's patch with very minor modifications so it fits on top. There was a review discussion on renaming __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM to __GFP_ALLOW_BLOCKING but I didn't think it was that big an issue and is orthogonal to the removal of __GFP_ATOMIC. There were some concerns about how the gfp flags affect the min reserves but it never reached a solid conclusion so I made my own attempt. The series tries to iron out some of the details on how reserves are used. ALLOC_HIGH becomes ALLOC_MIN_RESERVE and ALLOC_HARDER becomes ALLOC_NON_BLOCK and documents how the reserves are affected. For example, ALLOC_NON_BLOCK (no direct reclaim) on its own allows 25% of the min reserve. ALLOC_MIN_RESERVE (__GFP_HIGH) allows 50% and both combined allows deeper access again. ALLOC_OOM allows access to 75%. High-order atomic allocations are explicitly handled with the caveat that no __GFP_ATOMIC flag means that any high-order allocation that specifies GFP_HIGH and cannot enter direct reclaim will be treated as if it was GFP_ATOMIC. This patch (of 6): __GFP_HIGH aliases to ALLOC_HIGH but the name does not really hint what it means. As ALLOC_HIGH is internal to the allocator, rename it to ALLOC_MIN_RESERVE to document that the min reserves can be depleted.

mm: multi-gen LRU: per-node lru_gen_folio lists
For each node, memcgs are divided into two generations: the old and the young. For each generation, memcgs are randomly sharded into multiple bins to improve scalability. For each bin, an RCU hlist_nulls is virtually divided into three segments: the head, the tail and the default. An onlining memcg is added to the tail of a random bin in the old generation. The eviction starts at the head of a random bin in the old generation. The per-node memcg generation counter, whose reminder (mod 2) indexes the old generation, is incremented when all its bins become empty. There are four operations: 1. MEMCG_LRU_HEAD, which moves an memcg to the head of a random bin in its current generation (old or young) and updates its "seg" to "head"; 2. MEMCG_LRU_TAIL, which moves an memcg to the tail of a random bin in its current generation (old or young) and updates its "seg" to "tail"; 3. MEMCG_LRU_OLD, which moves an memcg to the head of a random bin in the old generation, updates its "gen" to "old" and resets its "seg" to "default"; 4. MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG, which moves an memcg to the tail of a random bin in the young generation, updates its "gen" to "young" and resets its "seg" to "default". The events that trigger the above operations are: 1. Exceeding the soft limit, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_HEAD; 2. The first attempt to reclaim an memcg below low, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_TAIL; 3. The first attempt to reclaim an memcg below reclaimable size threshold, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_TAIL; 4. The second attempt to reclaim an memcg below reclaimable size threshold, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG; 5. Attempting to reclaim an memcg below min, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG; 6. Finishing the aging on the eviction path, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG; 7. Offlining an memcg, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_OLD. Note that memcg LRU only applies to global reclaim, and the round-robin incrementing of their max_seq counters ensures the eventual fairness to all eligible memcgs. For memcg reclaim, it still relies on mem_cgroup_iter().

kasan: allow sampling page_alloc allocations for HW_TAGS
As Hardware Tag-Based KASAN is intended to be used in production, its performance impact is crucial. As page_alloc allocations tend to be big, tagging and checking all such allocations can introduce a significant slowdown. Add two new boot parameters that allow to alleviate that slowdown: - kasan.page_alloc.sample, which makes Hardware Tag-Based KASAN tag only every Nth page_alloc allocation with the order configured by the second added parameter (default: tag every such allocation). - kasan.page_alloc.sample.order, which makes sampling enabled by the first parameter only affect page_alloc allocations with the order equal or greater than the specified value (default: 3, see below). The exact performance improvement caused by using the new parameters depends on their values and the applied workload. The chosen default value for kasan.page_alloc.sample.order is 3, which matches both PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER and SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER. This is done for two reasons: 1. PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER is "the order at which allocations are deemed costly to service", which corresponds to the idea that only large and thus costly allocations are supposed to sampled. 2. One of the workloads targeted by this patch is a benchmark that sends a large amount of data over a local loopback connection. Most multi-page data allocations in the networking subsystem have the order of SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER (or PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER). When running a local loopback test on a testing MTE-enabled device in sync mode, enabling Hardware Tag-Based KASAN introduces a ~50% slowdown. Applying this patch and setting kasan.page_alloc.sampling to a value higher than 1 allows to lower the slowdown. The performance improvement saturates around the sampling interval value of 10 with the default sampling page order of 3. This lowers the slowdown to ~20%. The slowdown in real scenarios involving the network will likely be better. Enabling page_alloc sampling has a downside: KASAN misses bad accesses to a page_alloc allocation that has not been tagged. This lowers the value of KASAN as a security mitigation. However, based on measuring the number of page_alloc allocations of different orders during boot in a test build, sampling with the default kasan.page_alloc.sample.order value affects only ~7% of allocations. The rest ~93% of allocations are still checked deterministically.

mm/page_alloc: leave IRQs enabled for per-cpu page allocations
The pcp_spin_lock_irqsave protecting the PCP lists is IRQ-safe as a task allocating from the PCP must not re-enter the allocator from IRQ context. In each instance where IRQ-reentrancy is possible, the lock is acquired using pcp_spin_trylock_irqsave() even though IRQs are disabled and re-entrancy is impossible. Demote the lock to pcp_spin_lock avoids an IRQ disable/enable in the common case at the cost of some IRQ allocations taking a slower path. If the PCP lists need to be refilled, the zone lock still needs to disable IRQs but that will only happen on PCP refill and drain. If an IRQ is raised when a PCP allocation is in progress, the trylock will fail and fallback to using the buddy lists directly. Note that this may not be a universal win if an interrupt-intensive workload also allocates heavily from interrupt context and contends heavily on the zone->lock as a result.

mm/page_alloc: always remove pages from temporary list
Patch series "Leave IRQs enabled for per-cpu page allocations", v3. This patch (of 2): free_unref_page_list() has neglected to remove pages properly from the list of pages to free since forever. It works by coincidence because list_add happened to do the right thing adding the pages to just the PCP lists. However, a later patch added pages to either the PCP list or the zone list but only properly deleted the page from the list in one path leading to list corruption and a subsequent failure. As a preparation patch, always delete the pages from one list properly before adding to another. On its own, this fixes nothing although it adds a fractional amount of overhead but is critical to the next patch.

mm,thp,rmap: subpages_mapcount COMPOUND_MAPPED if PMD-mapped
Can the lock_compound_mapcount() bit_spin_lock apparatus be removed now? Yes. Not by atomic64_t or cmpxchg games, those get difficult on 32-bit; but if we slightly abuse subpages_mapcount by additionally demanding that one bit be set there when the compound page is PMD-mapped, then a cascade of two atomic ops is able to maintain the stats without bit_spin_lock. This is harder to reason about than when bit_spin_locked, but I believe safe; and no drift in stats detected when testing. When there are racing removes and adds, of course the sequence of operations is less well- defined; but each operation on subpages_mapcount is atomically good. What might be disastrous, is if subpages_mapcount could ever fleetingly appear negative: but the pte lock (or pmd lock) these rmap functions are called under, ensures that a last remove cannot race ahead of a first add. Continue to make an exception for hugetlb (PageHuge) pages, though that exception can be easily removed by a further commit if necessary: leave subpages_mapcount 0, don't bother with COMPOUND_MAPPED in its case, just carry on checking compound_mapcount too in folio_mapped(), page_mapped(). Evidence is that this way goes slightly faster than the previous implementation in all cases (pmds after ptes now taking around 103ms); and relieves us of worrying about contention on the bit_spin_lock.

mm,thp,rmap: simplify compound page mapcount handling
Compound page (folio) mapcount calculations have been different for anon and file (or shmem) THPs, and involved the obscure PageDoubleMap flag. And each huge mapping and unmapping of a file (or shmem) THP involved atomically incrementing and decrementing the mapcount of every subpage of that huge page, dirtying many struct page cachelines. Add subpages_mapcount field to the struct folio and first tail page, so that the total of subpage mapcounts is available in one place near the head: then page_mapcount() and total_mapcount() and page_mapped(), and their folio equivalents, are so quick that anon and file and hugetlb don't need to be optimized differently. Delete the unloved PageDoubleMap. page_add and page_remove rmap functions must now maintain the subpages_mapcount as well as the subpage _mapcount, when dealing with pte mappings of huge pages; and correct maintenance of NR_ANON_MAPPED and NR_FILE_MAPPED statistics still needs reading through the subpages, using nr_subpages_unmapped() - but only when first or last pmd mapping finds subpages_mapcount raised (double-map case, not the common case). But are those counts (used to decide when to split an anon THP, and in vmscan's pagecache_reclaimable heuristic) correctly maintained? Not quite: since page_remove_rmap() (and also split_huge_pmd()) is often called without page lock, there can be races when a subpage pte mapcount 0<->1 while compound pmd mapcount 0<->1 is scanning - races which the previous implementation had prevented. The statistics might become inaccurate, and even drift down until they underflow through 0. That is not good enough, but is better dealt with in a followup patch. Update a few comments on first and second tail page overlaid fields. hugepage_add_new_anon_rmap() has to "increment" compound_mapcount, but subpages_mapcount and compound_pincount are already correctly at 0, so delete its reinitialization of compound_pincount. A simple 100 X munmap(mmap(2GB, MAP_SHARED|MAP_POPULATE, tmpfs), 2GB) took 18 seconds on small pages, and used to take 1 second on huge pages, but now takes 119 milliseconds on huge pages. Mapping by pmds a second time used to take 860ms and now takes 92ms; mapping by pmds after mapping by ptes (when the scan is needed) used to take 870ms and now takes 495ms. But there might be some benchmarks which would show a slowdown, because tail struct pages now fall out of cache until final freeing checks them.

The first batch of KVM patches, mostly covering x86, which I
am sending out early due to me travelling next week. There is a lone mm patch for which Andrew gave an informal ack at https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20220817102500.440c6d0a3fce296fdf91bea6@linux-foundation.org. I will send the bulk of ARM work, as well as other architectures, at the end of next week. ARM: * Account stage2 page table allocations in memory stats. x86: * Account EPT/NPT arm64 page table allocations in memory stats. * Tracepoint cleanups/fixes for nested VM-Enter and emulated MSR accesses. * Drop eVMCS controls filtering for KVM on Hyper-V, all known versions of Hyper-V now support eVMCS fields associated with features that are enumerated to the guest. * Use KVM's sanitized VMCS config as the basis for the values of nested VMX capabilities MSRs. * A myriad event/exception fixes and cleanups. Most notably, pending exceptions morph into VM-Exits earlier, as soon as the exception is queued, instead of waiting until the next vmentry. This fixed a longstanding issue where the exceptions would incorrecly become double-faults instead of triggering a vmexit; the common case of page-fault vmexits had a special workaround, but now it's fixed for good. * A handful of fixes for memory leaks in error paths. * Cleanups for VMREAD trampoline and VMX's VM-Exit assembly flow. * Never write to memory from non-sleepable kvm_vcpu_check_block() * Selftests refinements and cleanups. * Misc typo cleanups. Generic: * remove KVM_REQ_UNHALT -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQFIBAABCAAyFiEE8TM4V0tmI4mGbHaCv/vSX3jHroMFAmM2zwcUHHBib256aW5p QHJlZGhhdC5jb20ACgkQv/vSX3jHroNpbwf+MlVeOlzE5SBdrJ0TEnLmKUel1lSz QnZzP5+D65oD0zhCilUZHcg6G4mzZ5SdVVOvrGJvA0eXh25ruLNMF6jbaABkMLk/ FfI1ybN7A82hwJn/aXMI/sUurWv4Jteaad20JC2DytBCnsW8jUqc49gtXHS2QWy4 3uMsFdpdTAg4zdJKgEUfXBmQviweVpjjl3ziRyZZ7yaeo1oP7XZ8LaE1nR2l5m0J mfjzneNm5QAnueypOh5KhSwIvqf6WHIVm/rIHDJ1HIFbgfOU0dT27nhb1tmPwAcE +cJnnMUHjZqtCXteHkAxMClyRq0zsEoKk0OGvSOOMoq3Q0DavSXUNANOig== =/hqX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini: "The first batch of KVM patches, mostly covering x86.

mm/page_alloc: add missing is_migrate_isolate() check in set_page_guard()
In MIGRATE_ISOLATE case, zone freepage state shouldn't be modified as
caller will take care of it. Add missing is_migrate_isolate() here to
avoid possible unbalanced freepage state. This would happen if someone
isolates the block, and then we face an MCE failure/soft-offline on a page
within that block. __mod_zone_freepage_state() will be triggered via
below call trace which already had been triggered back when block was
isolated:

case, zone->per_cpu_zonestats will always equal to boot_zonestats. But in

mm/page_alloc: ensure kswapd doesn't accidentally go to sleep
Patch series "A few cleanup patches for mm", v2.
This series contains a few cleanup patches to remove the obsolete comments
and functions, use helper macro to improve readability and so on. More
details can be found in the respective changelogs.
This patch (of 16):
If ALLOC_KSWAPD is set, wake_all_kswapds() will be called to ensure kswapd
doesn't accidentally go to sleep. But when reserve_flags is set,
alloc_flags will be overwritten and ALLOC_KSWAPD is thus lost. Preserve
the ALLOC_KSWAPD flag in alloc_flags to ensure kswapd won't go to sleep
accidentally.

security: kmsan: fix interoperability with auto-initialization
Heap and stack initialization is great, but not when we are trying uses of uninitialized memory. When the kernel is built with KMSAN, having kernel memory initialization enabled may introduce false negatives. We disable CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN and CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO under CONFIG_KMSAN, making it impossible to auto-initialize stack variables in KMSAN builds. We also disable CONFIG_INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON and CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON to prevent accidental use of heap auto-initialization. We however still let the users enable heap auto-initialization at boot-time (by setting init_on_alloc=1 or init_on_free=1), in which case a warning is printed.

init: kmsan: call KMSAN initialization routines
kmsan_init_shadow() scans the mappings created at boot time and creates metadata pages for those mappings. When the memblock allocator returns pages to pagealloc, we reserve 2/3 of those pages and use them as metadata for the remaining 1/3. Once KMSAN starts, every page allocated by pagealloc has its associated shadow and origin pages. kmsan_initialize() initializes the bookkeeping for init_task and enables KMSAN.

mm/page_alloc.c: rename check_free_page() to free_page_is_bad()
The name "check_free_page()" provides no information regarding its return value when the page is indeed found to be bad. Renaming it to "free_page_is_bad()" makes it clear that a `true' return value means the page was bad. And make it return a bool, not an int.

mm: reduce noise in show_mem for lowmem allocations
While discussing early DMA pool pre-allocation failure with Christoph [1] I have realized that the allocation failure warning is rather noisy for constrained allocations like GFP_DMA{32}. Those zones are usually not populated on all nodes very often as their memory ranges are constrained. This is an attempt to reduce the ballast that doesn't provide any relevant information for those allocation failures investigation. Please note that I have only compile tested it (in my default config setup) and I am throwing it mostly to see what people think about it.

mm: prevent page_frag_alloc() from corrupting the memory
A number of drivers call page_frag_alloc() with a fragment's size >
PAGE_SIZE.
In low memory conditions, __page_frag_cache_refill() may fail the order
3 cache allocation and fall back to order 0; In this case, the cache
will be smaller than the fragment, causing memory corruptions.
Prevent this from happening by checking if the newly allocated cache is
large enough for the fragment; if not, the allocation will fail and
page_frag_alloc() will return NULL.

mm/page_alloc: fix race condition between build_all_zonelists and page allocation
Patrick Daly reported the following problem; NODE_DATA(nid)->node_zonelists[ZONELIST_FALLBACK] - before offline operation [0] - ZONE_MOVABLE [1] - ZONE_NORMAL [2] - NULL For a GFP_KERNEL allocation, alloc_pages_slowpath() will save the offset of ZONE_NORMAL in ac->preferred_zoneref. If a concurrent memory_offline operation removes the last page from ZONE_MOVABLE, build_all_zonelists() & build_zonerefs_node() will update node_zonelists as shown below. Only populated zones are added. NODE_DATA(nid)->node_zonelists[ZONELIST_FALLBACK] - after offline operation [0] - ZONE_NORMAL [1] - NULL [2] - NULL The race is simple -- page allocation could be in progress when a memory hot-remove operation triggers a zonelist rebuild that removes zones. The allocation request will still have a valid ac->preferred_zoneref that is now pointing to NULL and triggers an OOM kill. This problem probably always existed but may be slightly easier to trigger due to |

mm: add NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE to count secondary page table uses.
We keep track of several kernel memory stats (total kernel memory, page tables, stack, vmalloc, etc) on multiple levels (global, per-node, per-memcg, etc). These stats give insights to users to how much memory is used by the kernel and for what purposes. Currently, memory used by KVM mmu is not accounted in any of those kernel memory stats. This patch series accounts the memory pages used by KVM for page tables in those stats in a new NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE stat. This stat can be later extended to account for other types of secondary pages tables (e.g. iommu page tables). KVM has a decent number of large allocations that aren't for page tables, but for most of them, the number/size of those allocations scales linearly with either the number of vCPUs or the amount of memory assigned to the VM. KVM's secondary page table allocations do not scale linearly, especially when nested virtualization is in use. From a KVM perspective, NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE will scale with KVM's per-VM pages_{4k,2m,1g} stats unless the guest is doing something bizarre (e.g. accessing only 4kb chunks of 2mb pages so that KVM is forced to allocate a large number of page tables even though the guest isn't accessing that much memory). However, someone would need to either understand how KVM works to make that connection, or know (or be told) to go look at KVM's stats if they're running VMs to better decipher the stats. Furthermore, having NR_PAGETABLE side-by-side with NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE is informative. For example, when backing a VM with THP vs. HugeTLB, NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE is roughly the same, but NR_PAGETABLE is an order of magnitude higher with THP. So having this stat will at the very least prove to be useful for understanding tradeoffs between VM backing types, and likely even steer folks towards potential optimizations. The original discussion with more details about the rationale: https://lore.kernel.org/all/87ilqoi77b.wl-maz@kernel.org This stat will be used by subsequent patches to count KVM mmu memory usage.

mm, hugetlb: skip irrelevant nodes in show_free_areas()

mm/page_alloc: replace local_lock with normal spinlock
struct per_cpu_pages is no longer strictly local as PCP lists can be drained remotely using a lock for protection. While the use of local_lock works, it goes against the intent of local_lock which is for "pure CPU local concurrency control mechanisms and not suited for inter-CPU concurrency control" (Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst) local_lock protects against migration between when the percpu pointer is accessed and the pcp->lock acquired. The lock acquisition is a preemption point so in the worst case, a task could migrate to another NUMA node and accidentally allocate remote memory. The main requirement is to pin the task to a CPU that is suitable for PREEMPT_RT and !PREEMPT_RT. Replace local_lock with helpers that pin a task to a CPU, lookup the per-cpu structure and acquire the embedded lock. It's similar to local_lock without breaking the intent behind the API. It is not a complete API as only the parts needed for PCP-alloc are implemented but in theory, the generic helpers could be promoted to a general API if there was demand for an embedded lock within a per-cpu struct with a guarantee that the per-cpu structure locked matches the running CPU and cannot use get_cpu_var due to RT concerns. PCP requires these semantics to avoid accidentally allocating remote memory.

mm/page_alloc: remotely drain per-cpu lists
Some setups, notably NOHZ_FULL CPUs, are too busy to handle the per-cpu drain work queued by __drain_all_pages(). So introduce a new mechanism to remotely drain the per-cpu lists. It is made possible by remotely locking 'struct per_cpu_pages' new per-cpu spinlocks. A benefit of this new scheme is that drain operations are now migration safe. There was no observed performance degradation vs. the previous scheme. Both netperf and hackbench were run in parallel to triggering the __drain_all_pages(NULL, true) code path around ~100 times per second. The new scheme performs a bit better (~5%), although the important point here is there are no performance regressions vs. the previous mechanism. Per-cpu lists draining happens only in slow paths. Minchan Kim tested an earlier version and reported; My workload is not NOHZ CPUs but run apps under heavy memory pressure so they goes to direct reclaim and be stuck on drain_all_pages until work on workqueue run. unit: nanosecond max(dur) avg(dur) count(dur) 166713013 487511.77786438033 1283 From traces, system encountered the drain_all_pages 1283 times and worst case was 166ms and avg was 487us. The other problem was alloc_contig_range in CMA. The PCP draining takes several hundred millisecond sometimes though there is no memory pressure or a few of pages to be migrated out but CPU were fully booked. Your patch perfectly removed those wasted time.

mm/page_alloc: protect PCP lists with a spinlock
Currently the PCP lists are protected by using local_lock_irqsave to prevent migration and IRQ reentrancy but this is inconvenient. Remote draining of the lists is impossible and a workqueue is required and every task allocation/free must disable then enable interrupts which is expensive. As preparation for dealing with both of those problems, protect the lists with a spinlock. The IRQ-unsafe version of the lock is used because IRQs are already disabled by local_lock_irqsave. spin_trylock is used in combination with local_lock_irqsave() but later will be replaced with a spin_trylock_irqsave when the local_lock is removed. The per_cpu_pages still fits within the same number of cache lines after this patch relative to before the series. struct per_cpu_pages { spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */ int count; /* 4 4 */ int high; /* 8 4 */ int batch; /* 12 4 */ short int free_factor; /* 16 2 */ short int expire; /* 18 2 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct list_head lists[13]; /* 24 208 */ /* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 7 */ /* sum members: 228, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* padding: 24 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); There is overhead in the fast path due to acquiring the spinlock even though the spinlock is per-cpu and uncontended in the common case.

mm/page_alloc: use only one PCP list for THP-sized allocations
The per_cpu_pages is cache-aligned on a standard x86-64 distribution configuration but a later patch will add a new field which would push the structure into the next cache line. Use only one list to store THP-sized pages on the per-cpu list. This assumes that the vast majority of THP-sized allocations are GFP_MOVABLE but even if it was another type, it would not contribute to serious fragmentation that potentially causes a later THP allocation failure. Align per_cpu_pages on the cacheline boundary to ensure there is no false cache sharing. After this patch, the structure sizing is; struct per_cpu_pages { int count; /* 0 4 */ int high; /* 4 4 */ int batch; /* 8 4 */ short int free_factor; /* 12 2 */ short int expire; /* 14 2 */ struct list_head lists[13]; /* 16 208 */ /* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 6 */ /* padding: 32 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220624125423.6126-3-mgorman@techsingularity.net Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Tested-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Acked-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Tested-by: Yu Zhao <yuzhao@google.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Cc: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@samsung.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Cc: Nicolas Saenz Julienne <nsaenzju@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> |

mm/page_alloc: add page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list
Patch series "Drain remote per-cpu directly", v5. Some setups, notably NOHZ_FULL CPUs, may be running realtime or latency-sensitive applications that cannot tolerate interference due to per-cpu drain work queued by __drain_all_pages(). Introduce a new mechanism to remotely drain the per-cpu lists. It is made possible by remotely locking 'struct per_cpu_pages' new per-cpu spinlocks. This has two advantages, the time to drain is more predictable and other unrelated tasks are not interrupted. This series has the same intent as Nicolas' series "mm/page_alloc: Remote per-cpu lists drain support" -- avoid interference of a high priority task due to a workqueue item draining per-cpu page lists. While many workloads can tolerate a brief interruption, it may cause a real-time task running on a NOHZ_FULL CPU to miss a deadline and at minimum, the draining is non-deterministic. Currently an IRQ-safe local_lock protects the page allocator per-cpu lists. The local_lock on its own prevents migration and the IRQ disabling protects from corruption due to an interrupt arriving while a page allocation is in progress. This series adjusts the locking. A spinlock is added to struct per_cpu_pages to protect the list contents while local_lock_irq is ultimately replaced by just the spinlock in the final patch. This allows a remote CPU to safely. Follow-on work should allow the spin_lock_irqsave to be converted to spin_lock to avoid IRQs being disabled/enabled in most cases. The follow-on patch will be one kernel release later as it is relatively high risk and it'll make bisections more clear if there are any problems. Patch 1 is a cosmetic patch to clarify when page->lru is storing buddy pages and when it is storing per-cpu pages. Patch 2 shrinks per_cpu_pages to make room for a spin lock. Strictly speaking this is not necessary but it avoids per_cpu_pages consuming another cache line. Patch 3 is a preparation patch to avoid code duplication. Patch 4 is a minor correction. Patch 5 uses a spin_lock to protect the per_cpu_pages contents while still relying on local_lock to prevent migration, stabilise the pcp lookup and prevent IRQ reentrancy. Patch 6 remote drains per-cpu pages directly instead of using a workqueue. Patch 7 uses a normal spinlock instead of local_lock for remote draining This patch (of 7): The page allocator uses page->lru for storing pages on either buddy or PCP lists. Create page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list as a union with page->lru. This is simply to clarify what type of list a page is on in the page allocator. No functional change intended.

memblock: Disable mirror feature if kernelcore is not specified
If system have some mirrored memory and mirrored feature is not specified in boot parameter, the basic mirrored feature will be enabled and this will lead to the following situations: - memblock memory allocation prefers mirrored region. This may have some unexpected influence on numa affinity. - contiguous memory will be split into several parts if parts of them is mirrored memory via memblock_mark_mirror(). To fix this, variable mirrored_kernelcore will be checked in memblock_mark_mirror(). Mark mirrored memory with flag MEMBLOCK_MIRROR iff kernelcore=mirror is added in the kernel parameters.

mm: fix is_pinnable_page against a cma page
Pages in the CMA area could have MIGRATE_ISOLATE as well as MIGRATE_CMA so the current is_pinnable_page() could miss CMA pages which have MIGRATE_ISOLATE. It ends up pinning CMA pages as longterm for the pin_user_pages() API so CMA allocations keep failing until the pin is released. CPU 0 CPU 1 - Task B cma_alloc alloc_contig_range pin_user_pages_fast(FOLL_LONGTERM) change pageblock as MIGRATE_ISOLATE internal_get_user_pages_fast lockless_pages_from_mm gup_pte_range try_grab_folio is_pinnable_page return true; So, pinned the page successfully. page migration failure with pinned page .. .. After 30 sec unpin_user_page(page) CMA allocation succeeded after 30 sec. The CMA allocation path protects the migration type change race using zone->lock but what GUP path need to know is just whether the page is on CMA area or not rather than exact migration type. Thus, we don't need zone->lock but just checks migration type in either of (MIGRATE_ISOLATE and MIGRATE_CMA). Adding the MIGRATE_ISOLATE check in is_pinnable_page could cause rejecting of pinning pages on MIGRATE_ISOLATE pageblocks even though it's neither CMA nor movable zone if the page is temporarily unmovable. However, such a migration failure by unexpected temporal refcount holding is general issue, not only come from MIGRATE_ISOLATE and the MIGRATE_ISOLATE is also transient state like other temporal elevated refcount problem.

mm: split free page with properly free memory accounting and without race
In isolate_single_pageblock(), free pages are checked without holding zone
lock, but they can go away in split_free_page() when zone lock is held.
Check the free page and its order again in split_free_page() when zone lock
is held. Recheck the page if the free page is gone under zone lock.
In addition, in split_free_page(), the free page was deleted from the page
list without changing free page accounting. Add the missing free page
accounting code.
Fix the type of order parameter in split_free_page().

mm: fix a potential infinite loop in start_isolate_page_range()
In isolate_single_pageblock() called by start_isolate_page_range(), there
are some pageblock isolation issues causing a potential infinite loop when
isolating a page range. This is reported by Qian Cai.
1. the pageblock was isolated by just changing pageblock migratetype
without checking unmovable pages. Calling set_migratetype_isolate() to
isolate pageblock properly.
2. an off-by-one error caused migrating pages unnecessarily, since the page
is not crossing pageblock boundary.
3. migrating a compound page across pageblock boundary then splitting the
free page later has a small race window that the free page might be
allocated again, so that the code will try again, causing an potential
infinite loop. Temporarily set the to-be-migrated page's pageblock to
MIGRATE_ISOLATE to prevent that and bail out early if no free page is
found after page migration.
An additional fix to split_free_page() aims to avoid crashing in
__free_one_page(). When the free page is split at the specified
split_pfn_offset, free_page_order should check both the first bit of
free_page_pfn and the last bit of split_pfn_offset and use the smaller
one. For example, if free_page_pfn=0x10000, split_pfn_offset=0xc000,
free_page_order should first be 0x8000 then 0x4000, instead of 0x4000 then
0x8000, which the original algorithm did.

mm: page_isolation: move has_unmovable_pages() to mm/page_isolation.c
Patch series "Use pageblock_order for cma and alloc_contig_range alignment", v11. This patchset tries to remove the MAX_ORDER-1 alignment requirement for CMA and alloc_contig_range(). It prepares for my upcoming changes to make MAX_ORDER adjustable at boot time[1]. The MAX_ORDER - 1 alignment requirement comes from that alloc_contig_range() isolates pageblocks to remove free memory from buddy allocator but isolating only a subset of pageblocks within a page spanning across multiple pageblocks causes free page accounting issues. Isolated page might not be put into the right free list, since the code assumes the migratetype of the first pageblock as the whole free page migratetype. This is based on the discussion at [2]. To remove the requirement, this patchset: 1. isolates pages at pageblock granularity instead of max(MAX_ORDER_NR_PAEGS, pageblock_nr_pages); 2. splits free pages across the specified range or migrates in-use pages across the specified range then splits the freed page to avoid free page accounting issues (it happens when multiple pageblocks within a single page have different migratetypes); 3. only checks unmovable pages within the range instead of MAX_ORDER - 1 aligned range during isolation to avoid alloc_contig_range() failure when pageblocks within a MAX_ORDER - 1 aligned range are allocated separately. 4. returns pages not in the range as it did before. One optimization might come later: 1. make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a separate bit to be able to restore the original migratetypes when isolation fails in the middle of the range.

mm: create new mm/swap.h header file
Patch series "MM changes to improve swap-over-NFS support". Assorted improvements for swap-via-filesystem. This is a resend of these patches, rebased on current HEAD. The only substantial changes is that swap_dirty_folio has replaced swap_set_page_dirty. Currently swap-via-fs (SWP_FS_OPS) doesn't work for any filesystem.

mm/page_alloc: reuse tail struct pages for compound devmaps
Currently memmap_init_zone_device() ends up initializing 32768 pages when it only needs to initialize 128 given tail page reuse. That number is worse with 1GB compound pages, 262144 instead of 128. Update memmap_init_zone_device() to skip redundant initialization, detailed below. When a pgmap @vmemmap_shift is set, all pages are mapped at a given huge page alignment and use compound pages to describe them as opposed to a struct per 4K. With @vmemmap_shift > 0 and when struct pages are stored in ram (!altmap) most tail pages are reused. Consequently, the amount of unique struct pages is a lot smaller than the total amount of struct pages being mapped. The altmap path is left alone since it does not support memory savings based on compound pages devmap.

To make node order in round-robin in the same distance group, we add a penalty to the first node we got in each round. To get a round-robin order in the same distance group, we don't need to decrease the penalty since: * find_next_best_node() always iterates node in the same order * distance matters more then penalty in find_next_best_node() * in nodes with the same distance, the first one would be picked up So it is fine to increase same penalty when we get the first node in the same distance group.

mm/munlock: protect the per-CPU pagevec by a local_lock_t
The access to mlock_pvec is protected by disabling preemption via get_cpu_var() or implicit by having preemption disabled by the caller (in mlock_page_drain() case). This breaks on PREEMPT_RT since folio_lruvec_lock_irq() acquires a sleeping lock in this section. Create struct mlock_pvec which consits of the local_lock_t and the pagevec.

kasan, page_alloc: allow skipping memory init for HW_TAGS
Add a new GFP flag __GFP_SKIP_ZERO that allows to skip memory initialization. The flag is only effective with HW_TAGS KASAN. This flag will be used by vmalloc code for page_alloc allocations backing vmalloc() mappings in a following patch. The reason to skip memory initialization for these pages in page_alloc is because vmalloc code will be initializing them instead. With the current implementation, when __GFP_SKIP_ZERO is provided, __GFP_ZEROTAGS is ignored. This doesn't matter, as these two flags are never provided at the same time. However, if this is changed in the future, this particular implementation detail can be changed as well.

kasan, page_alloc: rework kasan_unpoison_pages call site
Rework the checks around kasan_unpoison_pages() call in post_alloc_hook(). The logical condition for calling this function is: - If a software KASAN mode is enabled, we need to mark shadow memory. - Otherwise, HW_TAGS KASAN is enabled, and it only makes sense to set tags if they haven't already been cleared by tag_clear_highpage(), which is indicated by init_tags. This patch concludes the changes for post_alloc_hook().

kasan, page_alloc: merge kasan_alloc_pages into post_alloc_hook

Along the way, these patches do a step-by-step restructure the many performed checks to make them easier to follow. Replace the only caller of kasan_alloc_pages() with its implementation. As kasan_has_integrated_init() is only true when CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS is enabled, moving the code does no functional changes.

kasan, page_alloc: move tag_clear_highpage out of kernel_init_free_pages
Currently, kernel_init_free_pages() serves two purposes: it either only zeroes memory or zeroes both memory and memory tags via a different code path. As this function has only two callers, each using only one code path, this behaviour is confusing. Pull the code that zeroes both memory and tags out of kernel_init_free_pages(). As a result of this change, the code in free_pages_prepare() starts to look complicated, but this is improved in the few following patches. Those improvements are not integrated into this patch to make diffs easier to read. This patch does no functional changes.

kasan, page_alloc: deduplicate should_skip_kasan_poison
Patch series "kasan, vmalloc, arm64: add vmalloc tagging support for SW/HW_TAGS", v6. This patchset adds vmalloc tagging support for SW_TAGS and HW_TAGS KASAN modes. About half of patches are cleanups I went for along the way. None of them seem to be important enough to go through stable, so I decided not to split them out into separate patches/series. The patchset is partially based on an early version of the HW_TAGS patchset by Vincenzo that had vmalloc support. Thus, I added a Co-developed-by tag into a few patches. SW_TAGS vmalloc tagging support is straightforward. It reuses all of the generic KASAN machinery, but uses shadow memory to store tags instead of magic values. Naturally, vmalloc tagging requires adding a few kasan_reset_tag() annotations to the vmalloc code. HW_TAGS vmalloc tagging support stands out. HW_TAGS KASAN is based on Arm MTE, which can only assigns tags to physical memory. As a result, HW_TAGS KASAN only tags vmalloc() allocations, which are backed by page_alloc memory. It ignores vmap() and others. This patch (of 39): Currently, should_skip_kasan_poison() has two definitions: one for when CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled, one for when it's not. Instead of duplicating the checks, add a deferred_pages_enabled() helper and use it in a single should_skip_kasan_poison() definition. Also move should_skip_kasan_poison() closer to its caller and clarify all conditions in the comment.

mm, memory_hotplug: reorganize new pgdat initialization
When a !node_online node is brought up it needs a hotplug specific initialization because the node could be either uninitialized yet or it could have been recycled after previous hotremove. hotadd_init_pgdat is responsible for that. Internal pgdat state is initialized at two places currently - hotadd_init_pgdat - free_area_init_core_hotplug There is no real clear cut what should go where but this patch's chosen to move the whole internal state initialization into free_area_init_core_hotplug. hotadd_init_pgdat is still responsible to pull all the parts together - most notably to initialize zonelists because those depend on the overall topology. This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

mm: handle uninitialized numa nodes gracefully
We have had several reports [1][2][3] that page allocator blows up when an allocation from a possible node is requested. The underlying reason is that NODE_DATA for the specific node is not allocated. NUMA specific initialization is arch specific and it can vary a lot. E.g. x86 tries to initialize all nodes that have some cpu affinity (see init_cpu_to_node) but this can be insufficient because the node might be cpuless for example. One way to address this problem would be to check for !node_online nodes when trying to get a zonelist and silently fall back to another node. That is unfortunately adding a branch into allocator hot path and it doesn't handle any other potential NODE_DATA users. This patch takes a different approach (following a lead of [3]) and it pre allocates pgdat for all possible nodes in an arch indipendent code - free_area_init. All uninitialized nodes are treated as memoryless nodes. node_state of the node is not changed because that would lead to other side effects - e.g. sysfs representation of such a node and from past discussions [4] it is known that some tools might have problems digesting that. Newly allocated pgdat only gets a minimal initialization and the rest of the work is expected to be done by the memory hotplug - hotadd_new_pgdat (renamed to hotadd_init_pgdat). generic_alloc_nodedata is changed to use the memblock allocator because neither page nor slab allocators are available at the stage when all pgdats are allocated. Hotplug doesn't allocate pgdat anymore so we can use the early boot allocator. The only arch specific implementation is ia64 and that is changed to use the early allocator as well.

NUMA balancing: optimize page placement for memory tiering system
With the advent of various new memory types, some machines will have multiple types of memory, e.g. DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory). The memory subsystem of these machines can be called memory tiering system, because the performance of the different types of memory are usually different. In such system, because of the memory accessing pattern changing etc, some pages in the slow memory may become hot globally. So in this patch, the NUMA balancing mechanism is enhanced to optimize the page placement among the different memory types according to hot/cold dynamically. In a typical memory tiering system, there are CPUs, fast memory and slow memory in each physical NUMA node. The CPUs and the fast memory will be put in one logical node (called fast memory node), while the slow memory will be put in another (faked) logical node (called slow memory node). That is, the fast memory is regarded as local while the slow memory is regarded as remote. So it's possible for the recently accessed pages in the slow memory node to be promoted to the fast memory node via the existing NUMA balancing mechanism. The original NUMA balancing mechanism will stop to migrate pages if the free memory of the target node becomes below the high watermark. This is a reasonable policy if there's only one memory type. But this makes the original NUMA balancing mechanism almost do not work to optimize page placement among different memory types. Details are as follows. It's the common cases that the working-set size of the workload is larger than the size of the fast memory nodes. Otherwise, it's unnecessary to use the slow memory at all. So, there are almost always no enough free pages in the fast memory nodes, so that the globally hot pages in the slow memory node cannot be promoted to the fast memory node. To solve the issue, we have 2 choices as follows, a. Ignore the free pages watermark checking when promoting hot pages from the slow memory node to the fast memory node. This will create some memory pressure in the fast memory node, thus trigger the memory reclaiming. So that, the cold pages in the fast memory node will be demoted to the slow memory node. b. Define a new watermark called wmark_promo which is higher than wmark_high, and have kswapd reclaiming pages until free pages reach such watermark. The scenario is as follows: when we want to promote hot-pages from a slow memory to a fast memory, but fast memory's free pages would go lower than high watermark with such promotion, we wake up kswapd with wmark_promo watermark in order to demote cold pages and free us up some space. So, next time we want to promote hot-pages we might have a chance of doing so. The choice "a" may create high memory pressure in the fast memory node. If the memory pressure of the workload is high, the memory pressure may become so high that the memory allocation latency of the workload is influenced, e.g. the direct reclaiming may be triggered. The choice "b" works much better at this aspect. If the memory pressure of the workload is high, the hot pages promotion will stop earlier because its allocation watermark is higher than that of the normal memory allocation. So in this patch, choice "b" is implemented. A new zone watermark (WMARK_PROMO) is added. Which is larger than the high watermark and can be controlled via watermark_scale_factor. In addition to the original page placement optimization among sockets, the NUMA balancing mechanism is extended to be used to optimize page placement according to hot/cold among different memory types. So the sysctl user space interface (numa_balancing) is extended in a backward compatible way as follow, so that the users can enable/disable these functionality individually. The sysctl is converted from a Boolean value to a bits field. The definition of the flags is, - 0: NUMA_BALANCING_DISABLED - 1: NUMA_BALANCING_NORMAL - 2: NUMA_BALANCING_MEMORY_TIERING We have tested the patch with the pmbench memory accessing benchmark with the 80:20 read/write ratio and the Gauss access address distribution on a 2 socket Intel server with Optane DC Persistent Memory Model. The test results shows that the pmbench score can improve up to 95.9%. Thanks Andrew Morton to help fix the document format error.

mm/page_alloc: call check_new_pages() while zone spinlock is not held
For high order pages not using pcp, rmqueue() is currently calling the costly check_new_pages() while zone spinlock is held, and hard irqs masked. This is not needed, we can release the spinlock sooner to reduce zone spinlock contention. Note that after this patch, we call __mod_zone_freepage_state() before deciding to leak the page because it is in bad state.

mm: count time in drain_all_pages during direct reclaim as memory pressure
When page allocation in direct reclaim path fails, the system will make one attempt to shrink per-cpu page lists and free pages from high alloc reserves. Draining per-cpu pages into buddy allocator can be a very slow operation because it's done using workqueues and the task in direct reclaim waits for all of them to finish before proceeding. Currently this time is not accounted as psi memory stall. While testing mobile devices under extreme memory pressure, when allocations are failing during direct reclaim, we notices that psi events which would be expected in such conditions were not triggered. After profiling these cases it was determined that the reason for missing psi events was that a big chunk of time spent in direct reclaim is not accounted as memory stall, therefore psi would not reach the levels at which an event is generated. Further investigation revealed that the bulk of that unaccounted time was spent inside drain_all_pages call. A typical captured case when drain_all_pages path gets activated: __alloc_pages_slowpath took 44.644.613ns __perform_reclaim took 751.668ns (1.7%) drain_all_pages took 43.887.167ns (98.3%) PSI in this case records the time spent in __perform_reclaim but ignores drain_all_pages, IOW it misses 98.3% of the time spent in __alloc_pages_slowpath. Annotate __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim in its entirety so that delays from handling page allocation failure in the direct reclaim path are accounted as memory stall.

arch/x86/mm/numa: Do not initialize nodes twice
On x86, prior to ("mm: handle uninitialized numa nodes gracecully"), NUMA nodes could be allocated at three different places. - numa_register_memblks - init_cpu_to_node - init_gi_nodes All these calls happen at setup_arch, and have the following order: setup_arch ... x86_numa_init numa_init numa_register_memblks ... init_cpu_to_node init_memory_less_node alloc_node_data free_area_init_memoryless_node init_gi_nodes init_memory_less_node alloc_node_data free_area_init_memoryless_node numa_register_memblks() is only interested in those nodes which have memory, so it skips over any memoryless node it founds. Later on, when we have read ACPI's SRAT table, we call init_cpu_to_node() and init_gi_nodes(), which initialize any memoryless node we might have that have either CPU or Initiator affinity, meaning we allocate pg_data_t struct for them and we mark them as ONLINE. So far so good, but the thing is that after ("mm: handle uninitialized numa nodes gracefully"), we allocate all possible NUMA nodes in free_area_init(), meaning we have a picture like the following: setup_arch x86_numa_init numa_init numa_register_memblks <-- allocate non-memoryless node x86_init.paging.pagetable_init ... free_area_init free_area_init_memoryless <-- allocate memoryless node init_cpu_to_node alloc_node_data <-- allocate memoryless node with CPU free_area_init_memoryless_node init_gi_nodes alloc_node_data <-- allocate memoryless node with Initiator free_area_init_memoryless_node free_area_init() already allocates all possible NUMA nodes, but init_cpu_to_node() and init_gi_nodes() are clueless about that, so they go ahead and allocate a new pg_data_t struct without checking anything, meaning we end up allocating twice. It should be mad clear that this only happens in the case where memoryless NUMA node happens to have a CPU/Initiator affinity. So get rid of init_memory_less_node() and just set the node online. Note that setting the node online is needed, otherwise we choke down the chain when bringup_nonboot_cpus() ends up calling __try_online_node()->register_one_node()->... and we blow up in bus_add_device().

The following shows the order of the calls: kernel_init_freeable smp_init bringup_nonboot_cpus ... bus_add_device() <- we did not register node_subsys yet do_basic_setup do_initcalls postcore_initcall(register_node_type); register_node_type subsys_system_register subsys_register bus_register <- register node_subsys bus Why setting the node online saves us then? Well, simply because __try_online_node() backs off when the node is online, meaning we do not end up calling register_one_node() in the first place. This is subtle, broken and deserves a deep analysis and thought about how to put this into shape, but for now let us have this easy fix for the leaking memory issue.

mm/page_alloc: limit number of high-order pages on PCP during bulk free
When a PCP is mostly used for frees then high-order pages can exist on PCP lists for some time. This is problematic when the allocation pattern is all allocations from one CPU and all frees from another resulting in colder pages being used. When bulk freeing pages, limit the number of high-order pages that are stored on the PCP lists. Netperf running on localhost exhibits this pattern and while it does not matter for some machines, it does matter for others with smaller caches where cache misses cause problems due to reduced page reuse. Pages freed directly to the buddy list may be reused quickly while still cache hot where as storing on the PCP lists may be cold by the time free_pcppages_bulk() is called. Using perf kmem:mm_page_alloc, the 5 most used page frames were 5.17-rc3 13041 pfn=0x111a30 13081 pfn=0x5814d0 13097 pfn=0x108258 13121 pfn=0x689598 13128 pfn=0x5814d8 5.17-revert-highpcp 192009 pfn=0x54c140 195426 pfn=0x1081d0 200908 pfn=0x61c808 243515 pfn=0xa9dc20 402523 pfn=0x222bb8 5.17-full-series 142693 pfn=0x346208 162227 pfn=0x13bf08 166413 pfn=0x2711e0 166950 pfn=0x2702f8 The spread is wider as there is still time before pages freed to one PCP get released with a tradeoff between fast reuse and reduced zone lock acquisition.

mm/page_alloc: drain the requested list first during bulk free
Prior to the series, pindex 0 (order-0 MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE) was always skipped first and the precise reason is forgotten. A potential reason may have been to artificially preserve MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE but there is no reason why that would be optimal as it depends on the workload. The more likely reason is that it was less complicated to do a pre-increment instead of a post-increment in terms of overall code flow. As free_pcppages_bulk() now typically receives the pindex of the PCP list that exceeded high, always start draining that list.

mm/page_alloc: simplify how many pages are selected per pcp list during bulk free
free_pcppages_bulk() selects pages to free by round-robining between lists. Originally this was to evenly shrink pages by migratetype but uneven freeing is inevitable due to high pages. Simplify list selection by starting with a list that definitely has pages on it in free_unref_page_commit() and for drain, it does not matter where draining starts as all pages are removed.

mm/pages_alloc.c: don't create ZONE_MOVABLE beyond the end of a node
ZONE_MOVABLE uses the remaining memory in each node. Its starting pfn
is also aligned to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. It is possible for the remaining
memory in a node to be less than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES, meaning there is
not enough room for ZONE_MOVABLE on that node.
Unfortunately this condition is not checked for. This leads to
zone_movable_pfn[] getting set to a pfn greater than the last pfn in a
node.
calculate_node_totalpages() then sets zone->present_pages to be greater
than zone->spanned_pages which is invalid, as spanned_pages represents
the maximum number of pages in a zone assuming no holes.
Subsequently it is possible free_area_init_core() will observe a zone of
size zero with present pages. In this case it will skip setting up the
zone, including the initialisation of free_lists[].
However populated_zone() checks zone->present_pages to see if a zone has
memory available. This is used by iterators such as
walk_zones_in_node(). pagetypeinfo_showfree() uses this to walk the
free_list of each zone in each node, which are assumed to be initialised
due to the zone not being empty.
As free_area_init_core() never initialised the free_lists[] this results
in the following kernel crash when trying to read /proc/pagetypeinfo:

mm: enforce pageblock_order < MAX_ORDER
Some places in the kernel don't really expect pageblock_order >= MAX_ORDER, and it looks like this is only possible in corner cases: 1) CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT we'll end up freeing pageblock_order pages via __free_pages_core(), which cannot possibly work. 2) find_zone_movable_pfns_for_nodes() will roundup the ZONE_MOVABLE start PFN to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. Consequently with a bigger pageblock_order, we could have a single pageblock partially managed by two zones. 3) compaction code runs into __fragmentation_index() with order >= MAX_ORDER, when checking WARN_ON_ONCE(order >= MAX_ORDER). [1] 4) mm/page_reporting.c won't be reporting any pages with default page_reporting_order == pageblock_order, as we'll be skipping the reporting loop inside page_reporting_process_zone(). 5) __rmqueue_fallback() will never be able to steal with ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT. pageblock_order >= MAX_ORDER is weird either way: it's a pure optimization for making alloc_contig_range(), as used for allcoation of gigantic pages, a little more reliable to succeed. However, if there is demand for somewhat reliable allocation of gigantic pages, affected setups should be using CMA or boottime allocations instead. So let's make sure that pageblock_order < MAX_ORDER and simplify.

On 32-bit systems, there isn't enough space for both compound_pincount and compound_nr in the second page (it would collide with page->private, which is in use for pages in the swap cache), so revert the optimisation of storing both compound_order and compound_nr on 32-bit systems.

mm/hwpoison: fix unpoison_memory()
After recent soft-offline rework, error pages can be taken off from buddy allocator, but the existing unpoison_memory() does not properly undo the operation. Moreover, due to the recent change on __get_hwpoison_page(), get_page_unless_zero() is hardly called for hwpoisoned pages. So __get_hwpoison_page() highly likely returns -EBUSY (meaning to fail to grab page refcount) and unpoison just clears PG_hwpoison without releasing a refcount. That does not lead to a critical issue like kernel panic, but unpoisoned pages never get back to buddy (leaked permanently), which is not good. To (partially) fix this, we need to identify "taken off" pages from other types of hwpoisoned pages. We can't use refcount or page flags for this purpose, so a pseudo flag is defined by hacking ->private field. Someone might think that put_page() is enough to cancel taken-off pages, but the normal free path contains some operations not suitable for the current purpose, and can fire VM_BUG_ON(). Note that unpoison_memory() is now supposed to be cancel hwpoison events injected only by madvise() or /sys/devices/system/memory/{hard,soft}_offline_page, not by MCE injection, so please don't try to use unpoison when testing with MCE injection.

All other sharing must be for file pages. Page table check allows to protect and debug cases where "struct page" metadata became corrupted for some reason. For example, when refcnt or mapcount become invalid.

mm/memremap: add ZONE_DEVICE support for compound pages
Add a new @vmemmap_shift property for struct dev_pagemap which specifies
that a devmap is composed of a set of compound pages of order
@vmemmap_shift, instead of base pages. When a compound page devmap is
requested, all but the first page are initialised as tail pages instead
of order-0 pages.
For certain ZONE_DEVICE users like device-dax which have a fixed page
size, this creates an opportunity to optimize GUP and GUP-fast walkers,
treating it the same way as THP or hugetlb pages.

mm/page_alloc: split prep_compound_page into head and tail subparts
Patch series "mm, device-dax: Introduce compound pages in devmap", v7.
This series converts device-dax to use compound pages, and moves away
from the 'struct page per basepage on PMD/PUD' that is done today.
Doing so
1) unlocks a few noticeable improvements on unpin_user_pages() and
makes device-dax+altmap case 4x times faster in pinning (numbers
below and in last patch)
2) as mentioned in various other threads it's one important step
towards cleaning up ZONE_DEVICE refcounting.
I've split the compound pages on devmap part from the rest based on
recent discussions on devmap pending and future work planned[5][6].
There is consensus that device-dax should be using compound pages to
represent its PMD/PUDs just like HugeTLB and THP, and that leads to less
specialization of the dax parts. I will pursue the rest of the work in
parallel once this part is merged, particular the GUP-{slow,fast}
improvements [7] and the tail struct page deduplication memory savings
part[8].
To summarize what the series does:
Patch 1: Prepare hwpoisoning to work with dax compound pages.
Patches 2-3: Split the current utility function of prep_compound_page()
into head and tail and use those two helpers where appropriate to take
advantage of caches being warm after __init_single_page(). This is used
when initializing zone device when we bring up device-dax namespaces.
Patches 4-10: Add devmap support for compound pages in device-dax.
memmap_init_zone_device() initialize its metadata as compound pages, and
it introduces a new devmap property known as vmemmap_shift which
outlines how the vmemmap is structured (defaults to base pages as done
today). The property describe the page order of the metadata
essentially. While at it do a few cleanups in device-dax in patches
5-9. Finally enable device-dax usage of devmap @vmemmap_shift to a
value based on its own @align property. @vmemmap_shift returns 0 by
default (which is today's case of base pages in devmap, like fsdax or
the others) and the usage of compound devmap is optional. Starting with
device-dax (*not* fsdax) we enable it by default. There are a few
pinning improvements particular on the unpinning case and altmap, as
well as unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock() being just as effective as
THP/hugetlb[0] pages.

regions I had to revert commit

mm/page_alloc: remove the throttling logic from the page allocator
The page allocator stalls based on the number of pages that are waiting for writeback to start but this should now be redundant. shrink_inactive_list() will wake flusher threads if the LRU tail are unqueued dirty pages so the flusher should be active. If it fails to make progress due to pages under writeback not being completed quickly then it should stall on VMSCAN_THROTTLE_WRITEBACK.

mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim until some writeback completes if congested
Patch series "Remove dependency on congestion_wait in mm/", v5. This series that removes all calls to congestion_wait in mm/ and deletes wait_iff_congested. It's not a clever implementation but congestion_wait has been broken for a long time [1]. Even if congestion throttling worked, it was never a great idea. While excessive dirty/writeback pages at the tail of the LRU is one possibility that reclaim may be slow, there is also the problem of too many pages being isolated and reclaim failing for other reasons (elevated references, too many pages isolated, excessive LRU contention etc). This series replaces the "congestion" throttling with 3 different types. - If there are too many dirty/writeback pages, sleep until a timeout or enough pages get cleaned - If too many pages are isolated, sleep until enough isolated pages are either reclaimed or put back on the LRU - If no progress is being made, direct reclaim tasks sleep until another task makes progress with acceptable efficiency. This was initially tested with a mix of workloads that used to trigger corner cases that no longer work. A new test case was created called "stutterp" (pagereclaim-stutterp-noreaders in mmtests) using a freshly created XFS filesystem. Note that it may be necessary to increase the timeout of ssh if executing remotely as ssh itself can get throttled and the connection may timeout. stutterp varies the number of "worker" processes from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4 to check the impact as the number of direct reclaimers increase. It has four types of worker. - One "anon latency" worker creates small mappings with mmap() and times how long it takes to fault the mapping reading it 4K at a time - X file writers which is fio randomly writing X files where the total size of the files add up to the allowed dirty_ratio. fio is allowed to run for a warmup period to allow some file-backed pages to accumulate. The duration of the warmup is based on the best-case linear write speed of the storage. - Y file readers which is fio randomly reading small files - Z anon memory hogs which continually map (100-dirty_ratio)% of memory - Total estimated WSS = (100+dirty_ration) percentage of memory X+Y+Z+1 == NR_WORKERS varying from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4 The intent is to maximise the total WSS with a mix of file and anon memory where some anonymous memory must be swapped and there is a high likelihood of dirty/writeback pages reaching the end of the LRU. The test can be configured to have no background readers to stress dirty/writeback pages. The results below are based on having zero readers. The short summary of the results is that the series works and stalls until some event occurs but the timeouts may need adjustment. The test results are not broken down by patch as the series should be treated as one block that replaces a broken throttling mechanism with a working one. Finally, three machines were tested but I'm reporting the worst set of results. The other two machines had much better latencies for example.

In earlier versions of the series, this was lower but a large number of throttling events were reaching their timeout increasing the amount of inefficient scanning of the LRU. There is no prioritisation of reclaim tasks making progress based on each tasks rate of page allocation versus progress of reclaim. The variance is also impacted for high worker counts but in all cases, the differences in latency are not statistically significant due to very large maximum outliers. Max-90 shows that 90% of the stalls are comparable but the Max results show the massive outliers which are increased to to stalling. It is expected that this will be very machine dependant. Due to the test design, reclaim is difficult so allocations stall and there are variances depending on whether THPs can be allocated or not. The amount of memory will affect exactly how bad the corner cases are and how often they trigger. The warmup period calculation is not ideal as it's based on linear writes where as fio is randomly writing multiple files from multiple tasks so the start state of the test is variable. For example, these are the latencies on a single-socket machine that had more memory Amean mmap-4 42.2287 ( 0.00%) 49.6838 * -17.65%* Amean mmap-7 216.4326 ( 0.00%) 47.4451 * 78.08%* Amean mmap-12 2412.0588 ( 0.00%) 51.7497 ( 97.85%) Amean mmap-21 5546.2548 ( 0.00%) 51.8862 ( 99.06%) Amean mmap-30 1085.3121 ( 0.00%) 72.1004 ( 93.36%) The overall system CPU usage and elapsed time is as follows 5.15.0-rc3 5.15.0-rc3 vanilla mm-reclaimcongest-v5r4 Duration User 6989.03 983.42 Duration System 7308.12 799.68 Duration Elapsed 2277.67 2092.98 The patches reduce system CPU usage by 89% as the vanilla kernel is rarely stalling.

The vanilla kernel scans slowly over time where as the patches exhibits burst patterns of scan activity. Direct reclaim scanning is reduced by 52% due to stalling. The pattern for stealing pages is also slightly different. Both kernels exhibit spikes but the vanilla kernel when reclaiming shows pages being reclaimed over a period of time where as the patches tend to reclaim in spikes. The difference is that vanilla is not throttling and instead scanning constantly finding some pages over time where as the patched kernel throttles and reclaims in spikes.

This is very different to kswapd where only a tiny percentage of stalls due to writeback reached the timeout. Bottom line, the throttling appears to work and the wakeup events may limit worst case stalls. There might be some grounds for adjusting timeouts but it's likely futile as the worst-case scenarios depend on the workload, memory size and the speed of the storage. A better approach to improve the series further would be to prioritise tasks based on their rate of allocation with the caveat that it may be very expensive to track. This patch (of 5): Page reclaim throttles on wait_iff_congested under the following conditions: - kswapd is encountering pages under writeback and marked for immediate reclaim implying that pages are cycling through the LRU faster than pages can be cleaned. - Direct reclaim will stall if all dirty pages are backed by congested inodes. wait_iff_congested is almost completely broken with few exceptions. This patch adds a new node-based workqueue and tracks the number of throttled tasks and pages written back since throttling started. If enough pages belonging to the node are written back then the throttled tasks will wake early. If not, the throttled tasks sleeps until the timeout expires.

mm: khugepaged: recalculate min_free_kbytes after stopping khugepaged
When initializing transparent huge pages, min_free_kbytes would be calculated according to what khugepaged expected. So when transparent huge pages get disabled, min_free_kbytes should be recalculated instead of the higher value set by khugepaged.
