With madvise and prctl KSM can be enabled for different VMA's. Once it is enabled we can query how effective KSM is overall. However we cannot easily query if an individual VMA benefits from KSM. This commit adds a KSM section to the /prod/<pid>/smaps file. It reports how many of the pages are KSM pages. Note that KSM-placed zeropages are not included, only actual KSM pages. Here is a typical output: 7f420a000000-7f421a000000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 Size: 262144 kB KernelPageSize: 4 kB MMUPageSize: 4 kB Rss: 51212 kB Pss: 8276 kB Shared_Clean: 172 kB Shared_Dirty: 42996 kB Private_Clean: 196 kB Private_Dirty: 7848 kB Referenced: 15388 kB Anonymous: 51212 kB KSM: 41376 kB LazyFree: 0 kB AnonHugePages: 0 kB ShmemPmdMapped: 0 kB FilePmdMapped: 0 kB Shared_Hugetlb: 0 kB Private_Hugetlb: 0 kB Swap: 202016 kB SwapPss: 3882 kB Locked: 0 kB THPeligible: 0 ProtectionKey: 0 ksm_state: 0 ksm_skip_base: 0 ksm_skip_count: 0 VmFlags: rd wr mr mw me nr mg anon This information also helps with the following workflow: - First enable KSM for all the VMA's of a process with prctl. - Then analyze with the above smaps report which VMA's benefit the most - Change the application (if possible) to add the corresponding madvise calls for the VMA's that benefit the most [shr@devkernel.io: v5] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230823170107.1457915-1-shr@devkernel.io Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230822180539.1424843-1-shr@devkernel.ioSigned-off-by:

In the discussion of "Improve hugetlbfs read on HWPOISON hugepages" [1], Matthew Wilcox suggests hwp is a bad abbreviation of hwpoison, as hwp is already used as "an acronym by acpi, intel_pstate, some clock drivers, an ethernet driver, and a scsi driver"[1]. So rename hwp_walk and hwp_walk_ops to hwpoison_walk and hwpoison_walk_ops respectively. raw_hwp_(page|list), *_raw_hwp, and raw_hwp_unreliable flag are other major appearances of "hwp". However, given the "raw" hint in the name, it is easy to differentiate them from other "hwp" acronyms. Since renaming them is not as straightforward as renaming hwp_walk*, they are not covered by this commit.

Avoid setting the variables until necessary, and actually use the variables where applicable. Introducing a variable for the slots array avoids spanning multiple lines. Add the missing argument to the documentation. Use the node type when setting the metadata instead of blindly assuming the type. Finally, add a trace point to the function for successful store.

Since at least kernel 6.1, flush_dcache_page() is called with IRQs disabled, e.g. from aio_complete(). But the current implementation for flush_dcache_page() on NIOS2 unintentionally re-enables IRQs, which may lead to deadlocks. Fix it by using xa_lock_irqsave() and xa_unlock_irqrestore() for the flush_dcache_mmap_*lock() macros instead. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/ZOTF5WWURQNH9+iw@p100Signed-off-by:

There are many files in mm/ that contain kernel-doc which is not currently published on kernel.org. Some of it is easily categorisable, but most of it is going into the miscellaneous documentation section to be organised later. Some files aren't ready to be included; they contain documentation with build errors. Or they're nommu.c which duplicates documentation from "real" MMU systems. Those files are noted with a # mark (although really anything which isn't a recognised directive would do to prevent inclusion) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230818200630.2719595-5-willy@infradead.orgSigned-off-by:

Patch series "Improve mm documentation". If you build with W=1, kernel-doc complains about tlb_flush_rmaps(). Then I ran scripts/find-unused-docs.sh against mm/ and found a large number of files which weren't included in the ReST documentation. I fixed up a couple of them, and added all those without erros to the rst files. There's a lot more work to do to organise all of this, but at least now if we have documentation that refers to these functions, we'll get a nice link to them. This patch (of 4): The vma parameter wasn't described.

Remove the unnecessary encoding of page order into an enum and pass the page order directly. That lets us get rid of pe_order(). The switch constructs have to be changed to if/else constructs to prevent GCC from warning on builds with 3-level page tables where PMD_ORDER and PUD_ORDER have the same value. If you are looking at this commit because your driver stopped compiling, look at the previous commit as well and audit your driver to be sure it doesn't depend on mmap_lock being held in its ->huge_fault method.

Remove the checks for the VMA lock being held, allowing the page fault path to call into the filesystem instead of retrying with the mmap_lock held. This will improve scalability for DAX page faults.

Patch series "Change calling convention for ->huge_fault", v2. There are two unrelated changes to the calling convention for ->huge_fault. I've bundled them together to help people notice the change. The first is to improve scalability of DAX page faults by allowing them to be handled under the VMA lock. The second is to remove enum page_entry_size since it's really unnecessary. The changelogs and documentation updates hopefully work to that end. This patch (of 3): Allow this to be used in generic code. Also add PUD_ORDER.

Let's work on folio->swap instead. While at it, use folio_test_anon() and folio_test_swapcache() -- the original folio remains valid even after splitting (but is then an order-0 folio). We can probably convert a lot more to folios in that code, let's focus on folio->swap handling only for now. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230821160849.531668-5-david@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "mm/swap: stop using page->private on tail pages for THP_SWAP + cleanups". This series stops using page->private on tail pages for THP_SWAP, replaces folio->private by folio->swap for swapcache folios, and starts using "new_folio" for tail pages that we are splitting to remove the usage of page->private for swapcache handling completely. This patch (of 4): Let's stop using page->private on tail pages, making it possible to just unconditionally reuse that field in the tail pages of large folios. The remaining usage of the private field for THP_SWAP is in the THP splitting code (mm/huge_memory.c), that we'll handle separately later. Update the THP_SWAP documentation and sanity checks in mm_types.h and __split_huge_page_tail().

Since commit 7f3bfab5 ("mm/gup: take mmap_lock in get_dump_page()"), which landed in v5.10, core dumping doesn't enter fault handling without holding the mmap_lock anymore. Remove the stale parts of the comments, but leave the behavior as-is - letting core dumping block on userfault handling would be a bad idea and could lead to deadlocks if the dumping process was handling its own userfaults.
