An inclusion of cache.h in printk.h was added in 2014 in commit c28aa1f0 ("printk/cache: mark printk_once test variable __read_mostly") in order to bring in the definition of __read_mostly. The usage of __read_mostly was later removed in commit 3ec25826 ("printk: Tie printk_once / printk_deferred_once into .data.once for reset") which made the inclusion of cache.h unnecessary, so remove it. We have a small amount of code that depended on the inclusion of cache.h from printk.h; fix that code to include the appropriate header. This fixes a circular inclusion on arm64 (linux/printk.h -> linux/cache.h -> asm/cache.h -> linux/kasan-enabled.h -> linux/static_key.h -> linux/jump_label.h -> linux/bug.h -> asm/bug.h -> linux/printk.h) that would otherwise be introduced by the next patch. Build tested using {allyesconfig,defconfig} x {arm64,x86_64}.

Now we will use flush_cache_page() to flush cache for anonymous hugetlb pages when unmapping or migrating a hugetlb page mapping, but the flush_cache_page() only handles a PAGE_SIZE range on some architectures (like arm32, arc and so on), which will cause potential cache issues. Thus change to use flush_cache_range() to cover the whole size of a hugetlb page.

The cache level flush will always be first when changing an existing virtual–>physical mapping to a new value, since this allows us to properly handle systems whose caches are strict and require a virtual–>physical translation to exist for a virtual address. So we should move the cache flushing before huge_pmd_unshare(). As Muchun pointed out[1], now the architectures whose supporting hugetlb PMD sharing have no cache flush issues in practice. But I think we should still follow the cache/TLB flushing rules when changing a valid virtual address mapping in case of potential issues in future.

This patchset fixes some cache flushing issues if PMD sharing is possible for hugetlb pages, which were found by code inspection. Meanwhile Mike found the flush_cache_page() can not cover the whole size of a hugetlb page on some architectures [1], so I added a new patch 3 to fix this issue, since I found only try_to_unmap_one() and try_to_migrate_one() need to fix after some investigation. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/064da3bb-5b4b-7332-a722-c5a541128705@oracle.com/ This patch (of 3): When moving hugetlb page tables, the cache flushing is called in move_page_tables() without considering the shared PMDs, which may be cause cache issues on some architectures. Thus we should move the hugetlb cache flushing into move_hugetlb_page_tables() with considering the shared PMDs ranges, calculated by adjust_range_if_pmd_sharing_possible(). Meanwhile also expanding the TLBs flushing range in case of shared PMDs. Note this is discovered via code inspection, and did not meet a real problem in practice so far.

Patch series "support fixed virtual address ranges monitoring". The monitoring operations set for virtual address spaces automatically updates the monitoring target regions to cover entire mappings of the virtual address spaces as much as possible. Some users could have more information about their programs than kernel and therefore have interest in not entire regions but only specific regions. For such cases, the automatic monitoring target regions updates are only unnecessary overhead or distractions. This patchset adds supports for the use case on DAMON's kernel API (DAMON_OPS_FVADDR) and sysfs interface ('fvaddr' keyword for 'operations' sysfs file). This patch (of 3): The monitoring operations set for virtual address spaces automatically updates the monitoring target regions to cover entire mappings of the virtual address spaces as much as possible. Some users could have more information about their programs than kernel and therefore have interest in not entire regions but only specific regions. For such cases, the automatic monitoring target regions updates are only unnecessary overheads or distractions. For such cases, DAMON's API users can simply set the '->init()' and '->update()' of the DAMON context's '->ops' NULL, and set the target monitoring regions when creating the context. But, that would be a dirty hack. Worse yet, the hack is unavailable for DAMON user space interface users. To support the use case in a clean way that can easily exported to the user space, this commit adds another monitoring operations set called 'fvaddr', which is same to 'vaddr' but does not automatically update the monitoring regions. Instead, it will only respect the virtual address regions which have explicitly passed at the initial context creation. Note that this commit leave sysfs interface not supporting the feature yet. The support will be made in a following commit.

Patch series "mm/damon: allow users know which monitoring ops are available". DAMON users can configure it for vaious address spaces including virtual address spaces and the physical address space by setting its monitoring operations set with appropriate one for their purpose. However, there is no celan and simple way to know exactly which monitoring operations sets are available on the currently running kernel. This patchset adds functions for the purpose on DAMON's kernel API ('damon_is_registered_ops()') and sysfs interface ('avail_operations' file under each context directory). This patch (of 4): To know if a specific 'damon_operations' is registered, users need to check the kernel config or try 'damon_select_ops()' with the ops of the question, and then see if it successes. In the latter case, the user should also revert the change. To make the process simple and convenient, this commit adds a function for checking if a specific 'damon_operations' is registered or not.

Out-of-bounds accesses that aren't caught by a guard page will result in corruption of canary memory. In pathological cases, where an object has certain alignment requirements, an out-of-bounds access might never be caught by the guard page. Such corruptions, however, are only detected on kfree() normally. If the bug causes the kernel to panic before kfree(), KFENCE has no opportunity to report the issue. Such corruptions may also indicate failing memory or other faults. To provide some more information in such cases, add the option to check canary bytes on panic. This might help narrow the search for the panic cause; but, due to only having the allocation stack trace, such reports are difficult to use to diagnose an issue alone. In most cases, such reports are inactionable, and is therefore an opt-in feature (disabled by default).

Calls to change_protection_range() on THP can trigger, at least on x86, two TLB flushes for one page: one immediately, when pmdp_invalidate() is called by change_huge_pmd(), and then another one later (that can be batched) when change_protection_range() finishes. The first TLB flush is only necessary to prevent the dirty bit (and with a lesser importance the access bit) from changing while the PTE is modified. However, this is not necessary as the x86 CPUs set the dirty-bit atomically with an additional check that the PTE is (still) present. One caveat is Intel's Knights Landing that has a bug and does not do so. Leverage this behavior to eliminate the unnecessary TLB flush in change_huge_pmd(). Introduce a new arch specific pmdp_invalidate_ad() that only invalidates the access and dirty bit from further changes.

Currently, using mprotect() to unprotect a memory region or uffd to unprotect a memory region causes a TLB flush. However, in such cases the PTE is often not modified (i.e., remain RO) and therefore not TLB flush is needed. Add an arch-specific pte_needs_flush() which tells whether a TLB flush is needed based on the old PTE and the new one. Implement an x86 pte_needs_flush(). Always flush the TLB when it is architecturally needed even when skipping a TLB flush might only result in a spurious page-faults by skipping the flush. Even with such conservative manner, we can in the future further refine the checks to test whether a PTE is present by only considering the architectural _PAGE_PRESENT flag instead of {pte|pmd}_preesnt(). For not be careful and use the latter. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220401180821.1986781-3-namit@vmware.comSigned-off-by: -

Patch series "mm/mprotect: avoid unnecessary TLB flushes", v6. This patchset is intended to remove unnecessary TLB flushes during mprotect() syscalls. Once this patch-set make it through, similar and further optimizations for MADV_COLD and userfaultfd would be possible. Basically, there are 3 optimizations in this patch-set: 1. Use TLB batching infrastructure to batch flushes across VMAs and do better/fewer flushes. This would also be handy for later userfaultfd enhancements. 2. Avoid unnecessary TLB flushes. This optimization is the one that provides most of the performance benefits. Unlike previous versions, we now only avoid flushes that would not result in spurious page-faults. 3. Avoiding TLB flushes on change_huge_pmd() that are only needed to prevent the A/D bits from changing. Andrew asked for some benchmark numbers. I do not have an easy determinate macrobenchmark in which it is easy to show benefit. I therefore ran a microbenchmark: a loop that does the following on anonymous memory, just as a sanity check to see that time is saved by avoiding TLB flushes. The loop goes: mprotect(p, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ) mprotect(p, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE) *p = 0; // make the page writable The test was run in KVM guest with 1 or 2 threads (the second thread was busy-looping). I measured the time (cycles) of each operation: 1 thread 2 threads mmots +patch mmots +patch PROT_READ 3494 2725 (-22%) 8630 7788 (-10%) PROT_READ|WRITE 3952 2724 (-31%) 9075 2865 (-68%) [ mmots = v5.17-rc6-mmots-2022-03-06-20-38 ] The exact numbers are really meaningless, but the benefit is clear. There are 2 interesting results though. (1) PROT_READ is cheaper, while one can expect it not to be affected. This is presumably due to TLB miss that is saved (2) Without memory access (*p = 0), the speedup of the patch is even greater. In that scenario mprotect(PROT_READ) also avoids the TLB flush. As a result both operations on the patched kernel take roughly ~1500 cycles (with either 1 or 2 threads), whereas on mmotm their cost is as high as presented in the table. This patch (of 3): change_pXX_range() currently does not use mmu_gather, but instead implements its own deferred TLB flushes scheme. This both complicates the code, as developers need to be aware of different invalidation schemes, and prevents opportunities to avoid TLB flushes or perform them in finer granularity. The use of mmu_gather for modified PTEs has benefits in various scenarios even if pages are not released. For instance, if only a single page needs to be flushed out of a range of many pages, only that page would be flushed. If a THP page is flushed, on x86 a single TLB invlpg instruction can be used instead of 512 instructions (or a full TLB flush, which would Linux would actually use by default). mprotect() over multiple VMAs requires a single flush. Use mmu_gather in change_pXX_range(). As the pages are not released, only record the flushed range using tlb_flush_pXX_range(). Handle THP similarly and get rid of flush_cache_range() which becomes redundant since tlb_start_vma() calls it when needed.

Currently various places test if direct IO is possible on a file by checking for the existence of the direct_IO address space operation. This is a poor choice, as the direct_IO operation may not be used - it is only used if the generic_file_*_iter functions are called for direct IO and some filesystems - particularly NFS - don't do this. Instead, introduce a new f_mode flag: FMODE_CAN_ODIRECT and change the various places to check this (avoiding pointer dereferences). do_dentry_open() will set this flag if ->direct_IO is present, so filesystems do not need to be changed. NFS *is* changed, to set the flag explicitly and discard the direct_IO entry in the address_space_operations for files. Other filesystems which currently use noop_direct_IO could usefully be changed to set this flag instead.

Pages passed to swap_readpage()/swap_writepage() are not necessarily all the same size - there may be transparent-huge-pages involves. The BIO paths of swap_*page() handle this correctly, but the SWP_FS_OPS path does not. So we need to use thp_size() to find the size, not just assume PAGE_SIZE, and we need to track the total length of the request, not just assume it is "page * PAGE_SIZE".

swap_writepage() is given one page at a time, but may be called repeatedly in succession. For block-device swapspace, the blk_plug functionality allows the multiple pages to be combined together at lower layers. That cannot be used for SWP_FS_OPS as blk_plug may not exist - it is only active when CONFIG_BLOCK=y. Consequently all swap reads over NFS are single page reads. With this patch we pass a pointer-to-pointer via the wbc. swap_writepage can store state between calls - much like the pointer passed explicitly to swap_readpage. After calling swap_writepage() some number of times, the state will be passed to swap_write_unplug() which can submit the combined request.

This patch switches swap-out to SWP_FS_OPS swap-spaces to use ->swap_rw and makes the writes asynchronous, like they are for other swap spaces. To make it async we need to allocate the kiocb struct from a mempool. This may block, but won't block as long as waiting for the write to complete. At most it will wait for some previous swap IO to complete. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/164859778126.29473.12399585304843922231.stgit@noble.brownSigned-off-by:

swap currently uses ->readpage to read swap pages. This can only request one page at a time from the filesystem, which is not most efficient. swap uses ->direct_IO for writes which while this is adequate is an inappropriate over-loading. ->direct_IO may need to had handle allocate space for holes or other details that are not relevant for swap. So this patch introduces a new address_space operation: ->swap_rw. In this patch it is used for reads, and a subsequent patch will switch writes to use it. No filesystem yet supports ->swap_rw, but that is not a problem because no filesystem actually works with filesystem-based swap. Only two filesystems set SWP_FS_OPS: - cifs sets the flag, but ->direct_IO always fails so swap cannot work. - nfs sets the flag, but ->direct_IO calls generic_write_checks() which has failed on swap files for several releases. To ensure that a NULL ->swap_rw isn't called, ->activate_swap() for both NFS and cifs are changed to fail if ->swap_rw is not set. This can be removed if/when the function is added. Future patches will restore swap-over-NFS functionality. To submit an async read with ->swap_rw() we need to allocate a structure to hold the kiocb and other details. swap_readpage() cannot handle transient failure, so we create a mempool to provide the structures.

If swap-out is using filesystem operations (SWP_FS_OPS), then it is not safe to enter the FS for reclaim. So only down-grade the requirement for swap pages to __GFP_IO after checking that SWP_FS_OPS are not being used. This makes the calculation of "may_enter_fs" slightly more complex, so move it into a separate function. with that done, there is little value in maintaining the bool variable any more. So replace the may_enter_fs variable with a may_enter_fs() function. This removes any risk for the variable becoming out-of-date.

If a filesystem wishes to handle all swap IO itself (via ->direct_IO and ->readpage), rather than just providing devices addresses for submit_bio(), SWP_FS_OPS must be set. Currently the protocol for setting this it to have ->swap_activate return zero. In that case SWP_FS_OPS is set, and add_swap_extent() is called for the entire file. This is a little clumsy as different return values for ->swap_activate have quite different meanings, and it makes it hard to search for which filesystems require SWP_FS_OPS to be set. So remove the special meaning of a zero return, and require the filesystem to set SWP_FS_OPS if it so desires, and to always call add_swap_extent() as required. Currently only NFS and CIFS return zero for add_swap_extent(). Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/164859778123.29473.17908205846599043598.stgit@noble.brownSigned-off-by:

folios that are written to swap are owned by the MM subsystem - not any filesystem. When such a folio is passed to a filesystem to be written out to a swap-file, the filesystem handles the data, but the folio itself does not belong to the filesystem. So calling the filesystem's ->dirty_folio() address_space operation makes no sense. This is for folios in the given address space, and a folio to be written to swap does not exist in the given address space. So drop swap_dirty_folio() which calls the address-space's ->dirty_folio(), and always use noop_dirty_folio(), which is appropriate for folios being swapped out.

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. It has previously worked for NFS but that broke a few releases back. This series changes to use a new ->swap_rw rather than ->readpage and ->direct_IO. It also makes other improvements. There is a companion series already in linux-next which fixes various issues with NFS. Once both series land, a final patch is needed which changes NFS over to use ->swap_rw. This patch (of 10): Many functions declared in include/linux/swap.h are only used within mm/ Create a new "mm/swap.h" and move some of these declarations there. Remove the redundant 'extern' from the function declarations.

The gup_test binary will fail showing only the output of perror("open") in the case that /sys/kernel/debug/gup_test is not found. This will almost always be due to CONFIG_GUP_TEST not being set, which enables compilation of a kernel that provides this file. Add a short error message to clarify this failure and point the user to the solution.

pin_user_pages API forces FOLL_PIN in gup_flags, which means that the API requires struct page **pages to be provided (not NULL). However, the comment to pin_user_pages() clearly allows for passing in a NULL @pages argument. Remove the incorrect comments, and add WARN_ON_ONCE(!pages) calls to enforce the API. It has been independently spotted by Minchan Kim and confirmed with John Hubbard: https://lore.kernel.org/all/YgWA0ghrrzHONehH@google.com/ Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220422015839.1274328-1-yury.norov@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

Right now, the last 5 bits (0x1f) of the swap entry are used for the type and the bit before that (0x20) is used for _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY. We cannot use 0x40, as that collides with _RPAGE_RSV1 -- contained in _PAGE_HPTEFLAGS. The next candidate would be _RPAGE_SW3 (0x200) -- which is used for _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY for !swp ptes. So let's just use _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY for _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY (to make it easier to grasp) and use 0x20 now for _PAGE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE.

The swap type is simply stored in bits 0x1f of the swap pte. Let's simplify by just getting rid of _PAGE_BIT_SWAP_TYPE. It's not like that we can simply change it: _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY would suddenly fall into _RPAGE_RSV1, which isn't possible and would make the BUILD_BUG_ON(_PAGE_HPTEFLAGS & _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY) angry. While at it, make it clearer which bit we're actually using for _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY by just using the proper define and introduce and use SWP_TYPE_MASK.

Let's use one of the type bits: core-mm only supports 5, so there is no need to consume 6. Note that we might be able to reuse bit 1, but reusing bit 1 turned out problematic in the past for PROT_NONE handling; so let's play safe and use another bit.
