This fixes a couple typos I noticed in the slab Kconfig: sacrifies -> sacrifices accellerate -> accelerate Seeing as no other instances of these typos are found elsewhere in the kernel and that I originally added one of the two, I can only assume working on slab must have caused damage to the spelling centers of my brain.

As was already noted in rbtree.h, the logic to cache rb_first (or rb_last) can easily be implemented externally to the core rbtree api. Change the implementation to do just that. Previously the update of rb_leftmost was wired deeper into the implmentation, but there were some disadvantages to that - mostly, lib/rbtree.c had separate instantiations for rb_insert_color() vs rb_insert_color_cached(), as well as rb_erase() vs rb_erase_cached(), which were doing exactly the same thing save for the rb_leftmost update at the start of either function. text data bss dec hex filename 5405 120 0 5525 1595 lib/rbtree.o-vanilla 3827 96 0 3923 f53 lib/rbtree.o-patch [dave@stgolabs.net: changelog addition] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190628171416.by5gdizl3rcxk5h5@linux-r8p5 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190628045008.39926-1-walken@google.comSigned-off-by:

Finish up what commit c2febafc ("mm: convert generic code to 5-level paging") started while levelling up P4D huge mapping support at par with PUD and PMD. A new arch call back arch_ioremap_p4d_supported() is added which just maintains status quo (P4D huge map not supported) on x86, arm64 and powerpc. When HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP is enabled its just a simple check from the arch about the support, hence runtime effects are minimal.

If a memsetXX implementation is completely broken and fails in the first iteration, when i, j, and k are all zero, the failure is masked as zero is returned. Failing in the first iteration is perhaps the most likely failure, so this makes the tests pretty much useless. Avoid the situation by always setting a random unused bit in the result on failure.

Peter Rosin authored
Patch series "lib/string: search for NUL with strchr/strnchr". I noticed an inconsistency where strchr and strnchr do not behave the same with respect to the trailing NUL. strchr is standardised and the kernel function conforms, and the kernel relies on the behavior. So, naturally strchr stays as-is and strnchr is what I change. While writing a few tests to verify that my new strnchr loop was sane, I noticed that the tests for memset16/32/64 had a problem. Since it's all about the lib/string.c file I made a short series of it all... This patch (of 3): strchr considers the terminating NUL to be part of the string, and NUL can thus be searched for with that function. For consistency, do the same with strnchr.

BIT(), GENMASK(), etc. are useful to define register bits of hardware. However, low-level code is often written in assembly, where they are not available due to the hard-coded 1UL, 0UL. In fact, in-kernel headers such as arch/arm64/include/asm/sysreg.h use _BITUL() instead of BIT() so that the register bit macros are available in assembly. Using macros in include/uapi/linux/const.h have two reasons: [1] For use in uapi headers We should use underscore-prefixed variants for user-space. [2] For use in assembly code Since _BITUL() uses UL(1) instead of 1UL, it can be used as an alternative of BIT(). For [2], it is pretty easy to change BIT() etc. for use in assembly. This allows to replace _BUTUL() in kernel-space headers with BIT(). Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190609153941.17249-1-yamada.masahiro@socionext.comSigned-off-by:

Normally, the inode's i_uid/i_gid are translated relative to s_user_ns, but this is not a correct behavior for proc. Since sysctl permission check in test_perm is done against GLOBAL_ROOT_[UG]ID, it makes more sense to use these values in u_[ug]id of proc inodes. In other words: although uid/gid in the inode is not read during test_perm, the inode logically belongs to the root of the namespace. I have confirmed this with Eric Biederman at LPC and in this thread: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/87k1kzjdff.fsf@xmission.com Consequences ============ Since the i_[ug]id values of proc nodes are not used for permissions checks, this change usually makes no functional difference. However, it causes an issue in a setup where: * a namespace container is created without root user in container - hence the i_[ug]id of proc nodes are set to INVALID_[UG]ID * container creator tries to configure it by writing /proc/sys files, e.g. writing /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax to configure shared memory limit Kernel does not allow to open an inode for writing if its i_[ug]id are invalid, making it impossible to write shmmax and thus - configure the container. Using a container with no root mapping is apparently rare, but we do use this configuration at Google. Also, we use a generic tool to configure the container limits, and the inability to write any of them causes a failure. History ======= The invalid uids/gids in inodes first appeared due to 81754357 (fs: Update i_[ug]id_(read|write) to translate relative to s_user_ns). However, AFAIK, this did not immediately cause any issues. The inability to write to these "invalid" inodes was only caused by a later commit 0bd23d09 (vfs: Don't modify inodes with a uid or gid unknown to the vfs). Tested: Used a repro program that creates a user namespace without any mapping and stat'ed /proc/$PID/root/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax from outside. Before the change, it shows the overflow uid, with the change it's 0. The overflow uid indicates that the uid in the inode is not correct and thus it is not possible to open the file for writing.

Since commit 2724273e ("vmcore: add API to collect hardware dump in second kernel"), drivers are allowed to add device related dump data to vmcore as they want by using the device dump API. This has a potential issue, the data is stored in memory, drivers may append too much data and use too much memory. The vmcore is typically used in a kdump kernel which runs in a pre-reserved small chunk of memory. So as a result it will make kdump unusable at all due to OOM issues. So introduce new 'novmcoredd' command line option. User can disable device dump to reduce memory usage. This is helpful if device dump is using too much memory, disabling device dump could make sure a regular vmcore without device dump data is still available.

The whole header file deals with swap entries and PTEs, none of which can exist for nommu builds. The current nommu ports have lots of stubs to allow the inline functions in swapops.h to compile, but as none of this functionality is actually used there is no point in even providing it. This way we don't have to provide the stubs for the upcoming RISC-V nommu port, and can eventually remove it from the existing ports.

z3fold_page_migration() calls memcpy(new_zhdr, zhdr, PAGE_SIZE). However, zhdr contains fields that can't be directly coppied over (ex: list_head, a circular linked list). We only need to initialize the linked lists in new_zhdr, as z3fold_isolate_page() already ensures that these lists are empty Additionally it is possible that zhdr->work has been placed in a workqueue. In this case we shouldn't migrate the page, as zhdr->work references zhdr as opposed to new_zhdr.

There are six different reclaim paths by now: - kswapd reclaim path - node reclaim path - hibernate preallocate memory reclaim path - direct reclaim path - memcg reclaim path - memcg softlimit reclaim path The slab caches reclaimed in these paths are only calculated in the above three paths. There're some drawbacks if we don't calculate the reclaimed slab caches. - The sc->nr_reclaimed isn't correct if there're some slab caches relcaimed in this path. - The slab caches may be reclaimed thoroughly if there're lots of reclaimable slab caches and few page caches. Let's take an easy example for this case. If one memcg is full of slab caches and the limit of it is 512M, in other words there're approximately 512M slab caches in this memcg. Then the limit of the memcg is reached and the memcg reclaim begins, and then in this memcg reclaim path it will continuesly reclaim the slab caches until the sc->priority drops to 0. After this reclaim stops, you will find there're few slab caches left, which is less than 20M in my test case. While after this patch applied the number is greater than 300M and the sc->priority only drops to 3. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1561112086-6169-3-git-send-email-laoar.shao@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "mm/vmscan: calculate reclaimed slab in all reclaim paths". This patchset is to fix the issues in doing shrink slab. There're six different reclaim paths by now, - kswapd reclaim path - node reclaim path - hibernate preallocate memory reclaim path - direct reclaim path - memcg reclaim path - memcg softlimit reclaim path The slab caches reclaimed in these paths are only calculated in the above three paths. The issues are detailed explained in patch #2. We should calculate the reclaimed slab caches in every reclaim path. In order to do it, the struct reclaim_state is placed into the struct shrink_control. In node reclaim path, there'is another issue about shrinking slab, which is adressed in "mm/vmscan: shrink slab in node reclaim" (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/1559874946-22960-1-git-send-email-laoar.shao@gmail.com/). This patch (of 2): The struct reclaim_state is used to record how many slab caches are reclaimed in one reclaim path. The struct shrink_control is used to control one reclaim path. So we'd better put reclaim_state into shrink_control.

After commit 815744d7 ("mm: memcontrol: don't batch updates of local VM stats and events"), the local VM counter are not in sync with the hierarchical ones. Below is one example in a leaf memcg on my server (with 8 CPUs): inactive_file 3567570944 total_inactive_file 3568029696 We find that the deviation is very great because the 'val' in __mod_memcg_state() is in pages while the effective value in memcg_stat_show() is in bytes. So the maximum of this deviation between local VM stats and total VM stats can be (32 * number_of_cpu * PAGE_SIZE), that may be an unacceptably great value. We should keep the local VM stats in sync with the total stats. In order to keep this behavior the same across counters, this patch updates __mod_lruvec_state() and __count_memcg_events() as well.

One of the gfp flags used to show that a page is movable is __GFP_HIGHMEM. Currently z3fold_alloc() fails when __GFP_HIGHMEM is passed. Now that z3fold pages are movable, we allow __GFP_HIGHMEM. We strip the movability related flags from the call to kmem_cache_alloc() for our slots since it is a kernel allocation.
