The PAGEMAP_SCAN IOCTL on the pagemap file can be used to get or optionally clear the info about page table entries. The following operations are supported in this IOCTL: - Scan the address range and get the memory ranges matching the provided criteria. This is performed when the output buffer is specified. - Write-protect the pages. The PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING is used to write-protect the pages of interest. The PM_SCAN_CHECK_WPASYNC aborts the operation if non-Async Write Protected pages are found. The ``PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING`` can be used with or without PM_SCAN_CHECK_WPASYNC. - Both of those operations can be combined into one atomic operation where we can get and write protect the pages as well. Following flags about pages are currently supported: - PAGE_IS_WPALLOWED - Page has async-write-protection enabled - PAGE_IS_WRITTEN - Page has been written to from the time it was write protected - PAGE_IS_FILE - Page is file backed - PAGE_IS_PRESENT - Page is present in the memory - PAGE_IS_SWAPPED - Page is in swapped - PAGE_IS_PFNZERO - Page has zero PFN - PAGE_IS_HUGE - Page is THP or Hugetlb backed This IOCTL can be extended to get information about more PTE bits. The entire address range passed by user [start, end) is scanned until either the user provided buffer is full or max_pages have been found.

Patch series "Implement IOCTL to get and optionally clear info about PTEs", v33. *Motivation* The real motivation for adding PAGEMAP_SCAN IOCTL is to emulate Windows GetWriteWatch() and ResetWriteWatch() syscalls [1]. The GetWriteWatch() retrieves the addresses of the pages that are written to in a region of virtual memory. This syscall is used in Windows applications and games etc. This syscall is being emulated in pretty slow manner in userspace. Our purpose is to enhance the kernel such that we translate it efficiently in a better way. Currently some out of tree hack patches are being used to efficiently emulate it in some kernels. We intend to replace those with these patches. So the whole gaming on Linux can effectively get benefit from this. It means there would be tons of users of this code. CRIU use case [2] was mentioned by Andrei and Danylo: > Use cases for migrating sparse VMAs are binaries sanitized with ASAN, > MSAN or TSAN [3]. All of these sanitizers produce sparse mappings of > shadow memory [4]. Being able to migrate such binaries allows to highly > reduce the amount of work needed to identify and fix post-migration > crashes, which happen constantly. Andrei defines the following uses of this code: * it is more granular and allows us to track changed pages more effectively. The current interface can clear dirty bits for the entire process only. In addition, reading info about pages is a separate operation. It means we must freeze the process to read information about all its pages, reset dirty bits, only then we can start dumping pages. The information about pages becomes more and more outdated, while we are processing pages. The new interface solves both these downsides. First, it allows us to read pte bits and clear the soft-dirty bit atomically. It means that CRIU will not need to freeze processes to pre-dump their memory. Second, it clears soft-dirty bits for a specified region of memory. It means CRIU will have actual info about pages to the moment of dumping them. * The new interface has to be much faster because basic page filtering is happening in the kernel. With the old interface, we have to read pagemap for each page. *Implementation Evolution (Short Summary)* From the definition of GetWriteWatch(), we feel like kernel's soft-dirty feature can be used under the hood with some additions like: * reset soft-dirty flag for only a specific region of memory instead of clearing the flag for the entire process * get and clear soft-dirty flag for a specific region atomically So we decided to use ioctl on pagemap file to read or/and reset soft-dirty flag. But using soft-dirty flag, sometimes we get extra pages which weren't even written. They had become soft-dirty because of VMA merging and VM_SOFTDIRTY flag. This breaks the definition of GetWriteWatch(). We were able to by-pass this short coming by ignoring VM_SOFTDIRTY until David reported that mprotect etc messes up the soft-dirty flag while ignoring VM_SOFTDIRTY [5]. This wasn't happening until [6] got introduced. We discussed if we can revert these patches. But we could not reach to any conclusion. So at this point, I made couple of tries to solve this whole VM_SOFTDIRTY issue by correcting the soft-dirty implementation: * [7] Correct the bug fixed wrongly back in 2014. It had potential to cause regression. We left it behind. * [8] Keep a list of soft-dirty part of a VMA across splits and merges. I got the reply don't increase the size of the VMA by 8 bytes. At this point, we left soft-dirty considering it is too much delicate and userfaultfd [9] seemed like the only way forward. From there onward, we have been basing soft-dirty emulation on userfaultfd wp feature where kernel resolves the faults itself when WP_ASYNC feature is used. It was straight forward to add WP_ASYNC feature in userfautlfd. Now we get only those pages dirty or written-to which are really written in reality. (PS There is another WP_UNPOPULATED userfautfd feature is required which is needed to avoid pre-faulting memory before write-protecting [9].) All the different masks were added on the request of CRIU devs to create interface more generic and better.

It can be used like a high accuracy version of soft-dirty, without vma modifications during tracking, and also with ranged support by default rather than for a whole mm when reset the protections due to existence of ioctl(UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT). Several goals of such a dirty tracking interface: 1. All types of memory should be supported and tracable. This is nature for soft-dirty but should mention when the context is userfaultfd, because it used to only support anon/shmem/hugetlb. The problem is for a dirty tracking purpose these three types may not be enough, and it's legal to track anything e.g. any page cache writes from mmap. 2. Protections can be applied to partial of a memory range, without vma split/merge fuss. The hope is that the tracking itself should not affect any vma layout change. It also helps when reset happens because the reset will not need mmap write lock which can block the tracee. 3. Accuracy needs to be maintained. This means we need pte markers to work on any type of VMA. One could question that, the whole concept of async dirty tracking is not really close to fundamentally what userfaultfd used to be: it's not "a fault to be serviced by userspace" anymore. However, using userfaultfd-wp here as a framework is convenient for us in at least: 1. VM_UFFD_WP vma flag, which has a very good name to suite something like this, so we don't need VM_YET_ANOTHER_SOFT_DIRTY. Just use a new feature bit to identify from a sync version of uffd-wp registration. 2. PTE markers logic can be leveraged across the whole kernel to maintain the uffd-wp bit as long as an arch supports, this also applies to this case where uffd-wp bit will be a hint to dirty information and it will not go lost easily (e.g. when some page cache ptes got zapped). 3. Reuse ioctl(UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT) interface for either starting or resetting a range of memory, while there's no counterpart in the old soft-dirty world, hence if this is wanted in a new design we'll need a new interface otherwise. We can somehow understand that commonality because uffd-wp was fundamentally a similar idea of write-protecting pages just like soft-dirty. This implementation allows WP_ASYNC to imply WP_UNPOPULATED, because so far WP_ASYNC seems to not usable if without WP_UNPOPULATE. This also gives us chance to modify impl of WP_ASYNC just in case it could be not depending on WP_UNPOPULATED anymore in the future kernels. It's also fine to imply that because both features will rely on PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP config option, so they'll show up together (or both missing) in an UFFDIO_API probe. vma_can_userfault() now allows any VMA if the userfaultfd registration is only about async uffd-wp. So we can track dirty for all kinds of memory including generic file systems (like XFS, EXT4 or BTRFS). One trick worth mention in do_wp_page() is that we need to manually update vmf->orig_pte here because it can be used later with a pte_same() check - this path always has FAULT_FLAG_ORIG_PTE_VALID set in the flags. The major defect of this approach of dirty tracking is we need to populate the pgtables when tracking starts. Soft-dirty doesn't do it like that. It's unwanted in the case where the range of memory to track is huge and unpopulated (e.g., tracking updates on a 10G file with mmap() on top, without having any page cache installed yet). One way to improve this is to allow pte markers exist for larger than PTE level for PMD+. That will not change the interface if to implemented, so we can leave that for later.

memcg_rstat_updated() uses the value of the state update to keep track of the magnitude of pending updates, so that we only do a stats flush when it's worth the work. Most values passed into memcg_rstat_updated() are in pages, however, a few of them are actually in bytes or KBs. To put this into perspective, a 512 byte slab allocation today would look the same as allocating 512 pages. This may result in premature flushes, which means unnecessary work and latency. Normalize all the state values passed into memcg_rstat_updated() to pages. Round up non-zero sub-page to 1 page, because memcg_rstat_updated() ignores 0 page updates.

Patch series "mm: memcg: fix tracking of pending stats updates values", v2. While working on adjacent code [1], I realized that the values passed into memcg_rstat_updated() to keep track of the magnitude of pending updates is consistent. It is mostly in pages, but sometimes it can be in bytes or KBs. Fix that. Patch 1 reworks memcg_page_state_unit() so that we can reuse it in patch 2 to check and normalize the units of state updates. [1]https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230921081057.3440885-1-yosryahmed@google.com/ This patch (of 2): memcg_page_state_unit() is currently used to identify the unit of a memcg state item so that all stats in memory.stat are in bytes. However, it lies about the units of WORKINGSET_* stats. These stats actually represent pages, but we present them to userspace as a scalar number of events. In retrospect, maybe those stats should have been memcg "events" rather than memcg "state". In preparation for using memcg_page_state_unit() for other purposes that need to know the truthful units of different stat items, break it down into two helpers: - memcg_page_state_unit() retuns the actual unit of the item. - memcg_page_state_output_unit() returns the unit used for output. Use the latter instead of the former in memcg_page_state_output() and lruvec_page_state_output(). While we are at it, let's show cgroup v1 some love and add memcg_page_state_local_output() for consistency. No functional change intended.

In commit d8f5f7e4 ("hugetlb: set hugetlb page flag before optimizing vmemmap") checks were added to print a warning if hugetlb_vmemmap_restore was called on a non-hugetlb page. This was mostly due to ordering issues in the hugetlb page set up and tear down sequencees. One place missed was the routine dissolve_free_huge_page. Naoya Horiguchi noted: "I saw that VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() in hugetlb_vmemmap_restore is triggered when memory_failure() is called on a free hugetlb page with vmemmap optimization disabled (the warning is not triggered if vmemmap optimization is enabled). I think that we need check folio_test_hugetlb() before dissolve_free_huge_page() calls hugetlb_vmemmap_restore_folio()." Perform the check as suggested by Naoya.

Users complained about OOM errors during fork without triggering compaction. This can be fixed by modifying the flags used in mas_expected_entries() so that the compaction will be triggered in low memory situations. Since mas_expected_entries() is only used during fork, the extra argument does not need to be passed through. Additionally, the two test_maple_tree test cases and one benchmark test were altered to use the correct locking type so that allocations would not trigger sleeping and thus fail. Testing was completed with lockdep atomic sleep detection. The additional locking change requires rwsem support additions to the tools/ directory through the use of pthreads pthread_rwlock_t. With this change test_maple_tree works in userspace, as a module, and in-kernel. Users may notice that the system gave up early on attempting to start new processes instead of attempting to reclaim memory.

DAMON_SYSFS can receive DAMOS tried regions update request while kdamond is already out of the main loop and before_terminate callback (damon_sysfs_before_terminate() in this case) is not yet called. And damon_sysfs_handle_cmd() can further be finished before the callback is invoked. Then, damon_sysfs_before_terminate() unlocks damon_sysfs_lock, which is not locked by anyone. This happens because the callback function assumes damon_sysfs_cmd_request_callback() should be called before it. Check if the assumption was true before doing the unlock, to avoid this problem.

when the checked address is illegal,the corresponding shadow address from kasan_mem_to_shadow may have no mapping in mmu table. Access such shadow address causes kernel oops. Here is a sample about oops on arm64(VA 39bit) with KASAN_SW_TAGS and KASAN_OUTLINE on: [ffffffb80aaaaaaa] pgd=000000005d3ce003, p4d=000000005d3ce003, pud=000000005d3ce003, pmd=0000000000000000 Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000006 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 3 PID: 100 Comm: sh Not tainted 6.6.0-rc1-dirty #43 Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) pstate: 80000005 (Nzcv daif -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) pc : __hwasan_load8_noabort+0x5c/0x90 lr : do_ib_ob+0xf4/0x110 ffffffb80aaaaaaa is the shadow address for efffff80aaaaaaaa.

Malloc libraries, like jemalloc and tcalloc, take decisions on when to call madvise independently from the code in the main application.

When a zswap store fails due to the limit, it acquires a pool reference and queues the shrinker. When the shrinker runs, it drops the reference. However, there can be multiple store attempts before the shrinker wakes up and runs once. This results in reference leaks and eventual saturation warnings for the pool refcount. Fix this by dropping the reference again when the shrinker is already queued. This ensures one reference per shrinker run.

This change adds the "pages skipped" metric. To be able to evaluate how successful smart page scanning is, the pages skipped metric can be compared to the pages scanned metric. The pages skipped metric is a cumulative counter. The counter is stored under /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_skipped.

Patch series "Smart scanning mode for KSM", v3. This patch series adds "smart scanning" for KSM. What is smart scanning? ======================= KSM evaluates all the candidate pages for each scan. It does not use historic information from previous scans. This has the effect that candidate pages that couldn't be used for KSM de-duplication continue to be evaluated for each scan. The idea of "smart scanning" is to keep historic information. With the historic information we can temporarily skip the candidate page for one or several scans. Details: ======== "Smart scanning" is to keep two small counters to store if the page has been used for KSM. One counter stores how often we already tried to use the page for KSM and the other counter stores how often we skip a page. How often we skip the candidate page depends how often a page failed KSM de-duplication. The code skips a maximum of 8 times. During testing this has shown to be a good compromise for different workloads. New sysfs knob: =============== Smart scanning is not enabled by default. With /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/smart_scan smart scanning can be enabled. Monitoring: =========== To monitor how effective smart scanning is a new sysfs knob has been introduced. /sys/kernel/mm/pages_skipped report how many pages have been skipped by smart scanning. Results: ======== - Various workloads have shown a 20% - 25% reduction in page scans For the instagram workload for instance, the number of pages scanned has been reduced from over 20M pages per scan to less than 15M pages. - Less pages scans also resulted in an overall higher de-duplication rate as some shorter lived pages could be de-duplicated additionally - Less pages scanned allows to reduce the pages_to_scan parameter and this resulted in a 25% reduction in terms of CPU. - The improvements have been observed for workloads that enable KSM with madvise as well as prctl This patch (of 4): This change adds a "smart" page scanning mode for KSM. So far all the candidate pages are continuously scanned to find candidates for de-duplication. There are a considerably number of pages that cannot be de-duplicated. This is costly in terms of CPU. By using smart scanning considerable CPU savings can be achieved. This change takes the history of scanning pages into account and skips the page scanning of certain pages for a while if de-deduplication for this page has not been successful in the past. To do this it introduces two new fields in the ksm_rmap_item structure: age and remaining_skips. age, is the KSM age and remaining_skips determines how often scanning of this page is skipped. The age field is incremented each time the page is scanned and the page cannot be de- duplicated. age updated is capped at U8_MAX. How often a page is skipped is dependent how often de-duplication has been tried so far and the number of skips is currently limited to 8. This value has shown to be effective with different workloads. The feature is currently disable by default and can be enabled with the new smart_scan knob. The feature has shown to be very effective: upt to 25% of the page scans can be eliminated; the pages_to_scan rate can be reduced by 40 - 50% and a similar de-duplication rate can be maintained.

Previously, a fixed abstract distance MEMTIER_DEFAULT_DAX_ADISTANCE is used for slow memory type in kmem driver. This limits the usage of kmem driver, for example, it cannot be used for HBM (high bandwidth memory). So, we use the general abstract distance calculation mechanism in kmem drivers to get more accurate abstract distance on systems with proper support. The original MEMTIER_DEFAULT_DAX_ADISTANCE is used as fallback only. Now, multiple memory types may be managed by kmem. These memory types are put into the "kmem_memory_types" list and protected by kmem_memory_type_lock.

A memory tiering abstract distance calculation algorithm based on ACPI HMAT is implemented. The basic idea is as follows. The performance attributes of system default DRAM nodes are recorded as the base line. Whose abstract distance is MEMTIER_ADISTANCE_DRAM. Then, the ratio of the abstract distance of a memory node (target) to MEMTIER_ADISTANCE_DRAM is scaled based on the ratio of the performance attributes of the node to that of the default DRAM nodes. The functions to record the read/write latency/bandwidth of the default DRAM nodes and calculate abstract distance according to read/write latency/bandwidth ratio will be used by CXL CDAT (Coherent Device Attribute Table) and other memory device drivers. So, they are put in memory-tiers.c.

Previously, in hmat_register_target_initiators(), the performance attributes are calculated and the corresponding sysfs links and files are created too. Which is called during memory onlining. But now, to calculate the abstract distance of a memory target before memory onlining, we need to calculate the performance attributes for a memory target without creating sysfs links and files. To do that, hmat_register_target_initiators() is refactored to make it possible to calculate performance attributes separately.

Patch series "memory tiering: calculate abstract distance based on ACPI HMAT", v4. We have the explicit memory tiers framework to manage systems with multiple types of memory, e.g., DRAM in DIMM slots and CXL memory devices. Where, same kind of memory devices will be grouped into memory types, then put into memory tiers. To describe the performance of a memory type, abstract distance is defined. Which is in direct proportion to the memory latency and inversely proportional to the memory bandwidth. To keep the code as simple as possible, fixed abstract distance is used in dax/kmem to describe slow memory such as Optane DCPMM. To support more memory types, in this series, we added the abstract distance calculation algorithm management mechanism, provided a algorithm implementation based on ACPI HMAT, and used the general abstract distance calculation interface in dax/kmem driver. So, dax/kmem can support HBM (high bandwidth memory) in addition to the original Optane DCPMM. This patch (of 4): The abstract distance may be calculated by various drivers, such as ACPI HMAT, CXL CDAT, etc. While it may be used by various code which hot-add memory node, such as dax/kmem etc. To decouple the algorithm users and the providers, the abstract distance calculation algorithms management mechanism is implemented in this patch. It provides interface for the providers to register the implementation, and interface for the users. Multiple algorithm implementations can cooperate via calculating abstract distance for different memory nodes. The preference of algorithm implementations can be specified via priority (notifier_block.priority).

Remove special cased hugetlb handling code within the page cache by changing the granularity of ->index to the base page size rather than the huge page size. The motivation of this patch is to reduce complexity within the filemap code while also increasing performance by removing branches that are evaluated on every page cache lookup. To support the change in index, new wrappers for hugetlb page cache interactions are added. These wrappers perform the conversion to a linear index which is now expected by the page cache for huge pages. ========================= PERFORMANCE ====================================== Perf was used to check the performance differences after the patch. Overall the performance is similar to mainline with a very small larger overhead that occurs in __filemap_add_folio() and hugetlb_add_to_page_cache(). This is because of the larger overhead that occurs in xa_load() and xa_store() as the xarray is now using more entries to store hugetlb folios in the page cache.

Patch series "mm/ksm: add fork-exec support for prctl", v4. A process can enable KSM with the prctl system call. When the process is forked the KSM flag is inherited by the child process. However if the process is executing an exec system call directly after the fork, the KSM setting is cleared. This patch series addresses this problem. 1) Change the mask in coredump.h for execing a new process 2) Add a new test case in ksm_functional_tests This patch (of 2): Today we have two ways to enable KSM: 1) madvise system call This allows to enable KSM for a memory region for a long time. 2) prctl system call This is a recent addition to enable KSM for the complete process. In addition when a process is forked, the KSM setting is inherited. This change only affects the second case. One of the use cases for (2) was to support the ability to enable KSM for cgroups. This allows systemd to enable KSM for the seed process. By enabling it in the seed process all child processes inherit the setting. This works correctly when the process is forked. However it doesn't support fork/exec workflow. From the previous cover letter: .... Use case 3: With the madvise call sharing opportunities are only enabled for the current process: it is a workload-local decision. A considerable number of sharing opportunities may exist across multiple workloads or jobs (if they are part of the same security domain). Only a higler level entity like a job scheduler or container can know for certain if its running one or more instances of a job. That job scheduler however doesn't have the necessary internal workload knowledge to make targeted madvise calls. .... In addition it can also be a bit surprising that fork keeps the KSM setting and fork/exec does not.

Numa balancing only try to migrate non-compound page in do_numa_page(), use a folio in it to save several compound_head calls, note we use folio_estimated_sharers(), it is enough to check the folio sharers since only normal page is handled, if large folio numa balancing is supported, a precise folio sharers check would be used, no functional change intended.

Patch series "mm: convert numa balancing functions to use a folio", v2. do_numa_pages() only handles non-compound pages, and only PMD-mapped THPs are handled in do_huge_pmd_numa_page(). But a large, PTE-mapped folio will be supported so let's convert more numa balancing functions to use/take a folio in preparation for that, no functional change intended for now. This patch (of 6): The new vm_normal_folio_pmd() wrapper is similar to vm_normal_folio(), which allow them to completely replace the struct page variables with struct folio variables.
