Let's do it just like copy_page_range(), taking the seqlock and making
sure the mmap_lock is held in write mode.

This allows for add a VM_BUG_ON to page_needs_cow_for_dma() and properly
synchronizes concurrent fork() with GUP-fast of hugetlb pages, which will
be relevant for further changes.

Patch series "mm: COW fixes part 2: reliable GUP pins of anonymous pages", v4.

This series is the result of the discussion on the previous approach [2]. 
More information on the general COW issues can be found there.  It is
based on latest linus/master (post v5.17, with relevant core-MM changes
for v5.18-rc1).

This series fixes memory corruptions when a GUP pin (FOLL_PIN) was taken
on an anonymous page and COW logic fails to detect exclusivity of the page
to then replacing the anonymous page by a copy in the page table: The GUP
pin lost synchronicity with the pages mapped into the page tables.

This issue, including other related COW issues, has been summarized in [3]
under 3):
"
  3. Intra Process Memory Corruptions due to Wrong COW (FOLL_PIN)

  page_maybe_dma_pinned() is used to check if a page may be pinned for
  DMA (using FOLL_PIN instead of FOLL_GET).  While false positives are
  tolerable, false negatives are problematic: pages that are pinned for
  DMA must not be added to the swapcache.  If it happens, the (now pinned)
  page could be faulted back from the swapcache into page tables
  read-only.  Future write-access would detect the pinning and COW the
  page, losing synchronicity.  For the interested reader, this is nicely
  documented in feb889fb ("mm: don't put pinned pages into the swap
  cache").

  Peter reports [8] that page_maybe_dma_pinned() as used is racy in some
  cases and can result in a violation of the documented semantics: giving
  false negatives because of the race.

  There are cases where we call it without properly taking a per-process
  sequence lock, turning the usage of page_maybe_dma_pinned() racy.  While
  one case (clear_refs SOFTDIRTY tracking, see below) seems to be easy to
  handle, there is especially one rmap case (shrink_page_list) that's hard
  to fix: in the rmap world, we're not limited to a single process.

  The shrink_page_list() issue is really subtle.  If we race with
  someone pinning a page, we can trigger the same issue as in the FOLL_GET
  case.  See the detail section at the end of this mail on a discussion
  how bad this can bite us with VFIO or other FOLL_PIN user.

  It's harder to reproduce, but I managed to modify the O_DIRECT
  reproducer to use io_uring fixed buffers [15] instead, which ends up
  using FOLL_PIN | FOLL_WRITE | FOLL_LONGTERM to pin buffer pages and can
  similarly trigger a loss of synchronicity and consequently a memory
  corruption.

  Again, the root issue is that a write-fault on a page that has
  additional references results in a COW and thereby a loss of
  synchronicity and consequently a memory corruption if two parties
  believe they are referencing the same page.
"

This series makes GUP pins (R/O and R/W) on anonymous pages fully
reliable, especially also taking care of concurrent pinning via GUP-fast,
for example, also fully fixing an issue reported regarding NUMA balancing
[4] recently.  While doing that, it further reduces "unnecessary COWs",
especially when we don't fork()/KSM and don't swapout, and fixes the COW
security for hugetlb for FOLL_PIN.

In summary, we track via a pageflag (PG_anon_exclusive) whether a mapped
anonymous page is exclusive.  Exclusive anonymous pages that are mapped
R/O can directly be mapped R/W by the COW logic in the write fault
handler.  Exclusive anonymous pages that want to be shared (fork(), KSM)
first have to be marked shared -- which will fail if there are GUP pins on
the page.  GUP is only allowed to take a pin on anonymous pages that are
exclusive.  The PT lock is the primary mechanism to synchronize
modifications of PG_anon_exclusive.  We synchronize against GUP-fast
either via the src_mm->write_protect_seq (during fork()) or via
clear/invalidate+flush of the relevant page table entry.

Special care has to be taken about swap, migration, and THPs (whereby a
PMD-mapping can be converted to a PTE mapping and we have to track
information for subpages).  Besides these, we let the rmap code handle
most magic.  For reliable R/O pins of anonymous pages, we need
FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE logic as part of our previous approach [2], however,
it's now 100% mapcount free and I further simplified it a bit.

  #1 is a fix
  #3-#10 are mostly rmap preparations for PG_anon_exclusive handling
  #11 introduces PG_anon_exclusive
  #12 uses PG_anon_exclusive and make R/W pins of anonymous pages
   reliable
  #13 is a preparation for reliable R/O pins
  #14 and #15 is reused/modified GUP-triggered unsharing for R/O GUP pins
   make R/O pins of anonymous pages reliable
  #16 adds sanity check when (un)pinning anonymous pages

Currently, alloc_anon_noexit() calls alloc_anon() which instantly frees
the allocated memory. alloc_anon_noexit() is usually used with
cg_run_nowait() to run a process in the background that allocates
memory. It makes sense for the background process to keep the memory
allocated and not instantly free it (otherwise there is no point of
running it in the background).

This patch series adds a memory.reclaim proactive reclaim interface.
The rationale behind the interface and how it works are in the first
patch.


This patch (of 4):

Introduce a memcg interface to trigger memory reclaim on a memory cgroup.

Use case: Proactive Reclaim
---------------------------

A userspace proactive reclaimer can continuously probe the memcg to
reclaim a small amount of memory.  This gives more accurate and up-to-date
workingset estimation as the LRUs are continuously sorted and can
potentially provide more deterministic memory overcommit behavior.  The
memory overcommit controller can provide more proactive response to the
changing behavior of the running applications instead of being reactive.

A userspace reclaimer's purpose in this case is not a complete replacement
for kswapd or direct reclaim, it is to proactively identify memory savings
opportunities and reclaim some amount of cold pages set by the policy to
free up the memory for more demanding jobs or scheduling new jobs.

A user space proactive reclaimer is used in Google data centers. 
Additionally, Meta's TMO paper recently referenced a very similar
interface used for user space proactive reclaim:
https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3503222.3507731

Benefits of a user space reclaimer:
-----------------------------------

1) More flexible on who should be charged for the cpu of the memory
   reclaim.  For proactive reclaim, it makes more sense to be centralized.

2) More flexible on dedicating the resources (like cpu).  The memory
   overcommit controller can balance the cost between the cpu usage and
   the memory reclaimed.

3) Provides a way to the applications to keep their LRUs sorted, so,
   under memory pressure better reclaim candidates are selected.  This
   also gives more accurate and uptodate notion of working set for an
   application.

Why memory.high is not enough?
------------------------------

- memory.high can be used to trigger reclaim in a memcg and can
  potentially be used for proactive reclaim.  However there is a big
  downside in using memory.high.  It can potentially introduce high
  reclaim stalls in the target application as the allocations from the
  processes or the threads of the application can hit the temporary
  memory.high limit.

- Userspace proactive reclaimers usually use feedback loops to decide
  how much memory to proactively reclaim from a workload.  The metrics
  used for this are usually either refaults or PSI, and these metrics will
  become messy if the application gets throttled by hitting the high
  limit.

- memory.high is a stateful interface, if the userspace proactive
  reclaimer crashes for any reason while triggering reclaim it can leave
  the application in a bad state.

- If a workload is rapidly expanding, setting memory.high to proactively
  reclaim memory can result in actually reclaiming more memory than
  intended.

The benefits of such interface and shortcomings of existing interface were
further discussed in this RFC thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/5df21376-7dd1-bf81-8414-32a73cea45dd@google.com/

Interface:
----------

Introducing a very simple memcg interface 'echo 10M > memory.reclaim' to
trigger reclaim in the target memory cgroup.

The interface is introduced as a nested-keyed file to allow for future
optional arguments to be easily added to configure the behavior of
reclaim.

Possible Extensions:
--------------------

- This interface can be extended with an additional parameter or flags
  to allow specifying one or more types of memory to reclaim from (e.g.
  file, anon, ..).

- The interface can also be extended with a node mask to reclaim from
  specific nodes. This has use cases for reclaim-based demotion in memory
  tiering systens.

- A similar per-node interface can also be added to support proactive
  reclaim and reclaim-based demotion in systems without memcg.

- Add a timeout parameter to make it easier for user space to call the
  interface without worrying about being blocked for an undefined amount
  of time.

For now, let's keep things simple by adding the basic functionality.

Today it's only possible to write back as a page, idle, or huge.  A user
might want to writeback pages which are huge and idle first as these idle
pages do not require decompression and make a good first pass for
writeback.

Idle writeback specifically has the advantage that a refault is unlikely
given that the page has been swapped for some amount of time without being
refaulted.

Huge writeback has the advantage that you're guaranteed to get the maximum
benefit from a single page writeback, that is, you're reclaiming one full
page of memory.  Pages which are compressed in zram being written back
result in some benefit which is always less than a page size because of
the fact that it was compressed.

The primary use of this is for minimizing refaults in situations where the
device has to be sensitive to storage endurance.  On ChromeOS we have
devices with slow eMMC and repeated writes and refaults can negatively
affect performance and endurance.

When __setup() return '0', using invalid option values causes the entire
kernel boot option string to be reported as Unknown.  Hugetlb calls
__setup() and will return '0' when set invalid parameter string.

The following phenomenon is observed:
 cmdline:
  hugepagesz=1Y hugepages=1
 dmesg:
  HugeTLB: unsupported hugepagesz=1Y
  HugeTLB: hugepages=1 does not follow a valid hugepagesz, ignoring
  Unknown kernel command line parameters "hugepagesz=1Y hugepages=1"

Since hugetlb will print warning/error information before return for
invalid parameter string, just use return '1' to avoid print again.

Hugepages can be specified to pernode since "hugetlbfs: extend the
definition of hugepages parameter to support node allocation", but the
following problem is observed.

Confusing behavior is observed when both 1G and 2M hugepage is set
after "numa=off".
 cmdline hugepage settings:
  hugepagesz=1G hugepages=0:3,1:3
  hugepagesz=2M hugepages=0:1024,1:1024
 results:
  HugeTLB registered 1.00 GiB page size, pre-allocated 0 pages
  HugeTLB registered 2.00 MiB page size, pre-allocated 1024 pages

Furthermore, confusing behavior can be also observed when an invalid node
behind a valid node.  To fix this, never allocate any typical hugepage
when an invalid parameter is received.

Patch series "hugetlb: Fix some incorrect behavior", v3.

This series fix three bugs of hugetlb:
1) Invalid use of nr_online_nodes;
2) Inconsistency between 1G hugepage and 2M hugepage;
3) Useless information in dmesg.


This patch (of 4):

Certain systems are designed to have sparse/discontiguous nodes.  In this
case, nr_online_nodes can not be used to walk through numa node.  Also, a
valid node may be greater than nr_online_nodes.

However, in hugetlb, it is assumed that nodes are contiguous.

For sparse/discontiguous nodes, the current code may treat a valid node
as invalid, and will fail to allocate all hugepages on a valid node that
"nid >= nr_online_nodes".

As David suggested:

	if (tmp >= nr_online_nodes)
		goto invalid;

Just imagine node 0 and node 2 are online, and node 1 is offline. 
Assuming that "node < 2" is valid is wrong.  

Recheck all the places that use nr_online_nodes, and repair them one by
one.

__add_memory_block() calls both put_device() and device_unregister() when
storing the memory block into the xarray.  This is incorrect because
xarray doesn't take an additional reference and device_unregister()
already calls put_device().

Triggering the issue looks really unlikely and its only effect should be
to log a spurious warning about a ref counted issue.

Users may use ksm by calling madvise(, , MADV_MERGEABLE) when they want to
save memory, it's a tradeoff by suffering delay on ksm cow.  Users can get
to know how much memory ksm saved by reading
/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_sharing, but they don't know what's the costs of
ksm cow, and this is important of some delay sensitive tasks.

So add ksm cow events to help users evaluate whether or how to use ksm. 
Also update Documentation/admin-guide/mm/ksm.rst with new added events.

Some applications or containers want to use KSM by calling madvise() to
advise areas of address space to be MERGEABLE.  But they may not know
which applications are more likely to cause real merges in the
deployment.  If this patch is applied, it helps them know their
corresponding number of merged pages, and then optimize their app code.

As current KSM only counts the number of KSM merging pages(e.g. 
ksm_pages_sharing and ksm_pages_shared) of the whole system, we cannot see
the more fine-grained KSM merging, for the upper application optimization,
the merging area cannot be set easily according to the KSM page merging
probability of each process.  Therefore, it is necessary to add extra
statistical means so that the upper level users can know the detailed KSM
merging information of each process.

We add a new proc file named as ksm_merging_pages under /proc/<pid>/ to
indicate the involved ksm merging pages of this process.

The stub for non_swap_entry() may not help much, because MAX_SWAPFILES has
already contained all the information to decide whether a swap entry is
real swap entry or pesudo ones (migrations, ...).

There can be some performance influences on non_swap_entry() with below
conditions all met:

  !CONFIG_MIGRATION && !CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE && !CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE

But that's definitely not the major config most machines will use, at the
meantime it's already in a slow path of swap entry (being parsed from a
swap pte), so IMHO it shouldn't be a major issue.  Also according to the
analysis from Alistair, somehow the stub didn't do the job right [1].

To make the code cleaner, let's drop the stub.

Note: the uffd-wp shmem & hugetlbfs series will need this patch to make
sure swap entries work as expected with below config as spotted by
Alistair:

  !CONFIG_MIGRATION &&
  !CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE &&
  !CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE &&
  CONFIG_PTE_MARKER

(PS: this config should mostly never gonna happen, though, afaict..)

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.

A compound devmap is a dev_pagemap with @vmemmap_shift > 0 and it means
that pages are mapped at a given huge page alignment and utilize uses
compound pages as opposed to order-0 pages.

Take advantage of the fact that most tail pages look the same (except the
first two) to minimize struct page overhead.  Allocate a separate page for
the vmemmap area which contains the head page and separate for the next 64
pages.  The rest of the subsections then reuse this tail vmemmap page to
initialize the rest of the tail pages.

Sections are arch-dependent (e.g.  on x86 it's 64M, 128M or 512M) and when
initializing compound devmap with big enough @vmemmap_shift (e.g.  1G PUD)
it may cross multiple sections.  The vmemmap code needs to consult @pgmap
so that multiple sections that all map the same tail data can refer back
to the first copy of that data for a given gigantic page.

On compound devmaps with 2M align, this mechanism lets 6 pages be saved
out of the 8 necessary PFNs necessary to set the subsection's 512 struct
pages being mapped.  On a 1G compound devmap it saves 4094 pages.

Altmap isn't supported yet, given various restrictions in altmap pfn
allocator, thus fallback to the already in use vmemmap_populate().  It is
worth noting that altmap for devmap mappings was there to relieve the
pressure of inordinate amounts of memmap space to map terabytes of pmem. 
With compound pages the motivation for altmaps for pmem gets reduced.
