cgroup v2 introduces two memory protection thresholds: memory.low (best-effort) and memory.min (hard protection). While they generally do what they say on the tin, there is a limitation in their implementation that makes them difficult to use effectively: that cliff behaviour often manifests when they become eligible for reclaim. This patch implements more intuitive and usable behaviour, where we gradually mount more reclaim pressure as cgroups further and further exceed their protection thresholds. This cliff edge behaviour happens because we only choose whether or not to reclaim based on whether the memcg is within its protection limits (see the use of mem_cgroup_protected in shrink_node), but we don't vary our reclaim behaviour based on this information. Imagine the following timeline, with the numbers the lruvec size in this zone: 1. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=999999. 0 pages may be scanned. 2. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=1000000. 0 pages may be scanned. 3. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=1000001. 1000001* pages may be scanned. (?!) * Of course, we won't usually scan all available pages in the zone even without this patch because of scan control priority, over-reclaim protection, etc. However, as shown by the tests at the end, these techniques don't sufficiently throttle such an extreme change in input, so cliff-like behaviour isn't really averted by their existence alone. Here's an example of how this plays out in practice. At Facebook, we are trying to protect various workloads from "system" software, like configuration management tools, metric collectors, etc (see this[0] case study). In order to find a suitable memory.low value, we start by determining the expected memory range within which the workload will be comfortable operating. This isn't an exact science -- memory usage deemed "comfortable" will vary over time due to user behaviour, differences in composition of work, etc, etc. As such we need to ballpark memory.low, but doing this is currently problematic: 1. If we end up setting it too low for the workload, it won't have *any* effect (see discussion above). The group will receive the full weight of reclaim and won't have any priority while competing with the less important system software, as if we had no memory.low configured at all. 2. Because of this behaviour, we end up erring on the side of setting it too high, such that the comfort range is reliably covered. However, protected memory is completely unavailable to the rest of the system, so we might cause undue memory and IO pressure there when we *know* we have some elasticity in the workload. 3. Even if we get the value totally right, smack in the middle of the comfort zone, we get extreme jumps between no pressure and full pressure that cause unpredictable pressure spikes in the workload due to the current binary reclaim behaviour. With this patch, we can set it to our ballpark estimation without too much worry. Any undesirable behaviour, such as too much or too little reclaim pressure on the workload or system will be proportional to how far our estimation is off. This means we can set memory.low much more conservatively and thus waste less resources *without* the risk of the workload falling off a cliff if we overshoot. As a more abstract technical description, this unintuitive behaviour results in having to give high-priority workloads a large protection buffer on top of their expected usage to function reliably, as otherwise we have abrupt periods of dramatically increased memory pressure which hamper performance. Having to set these thresholds so high wastes resources and generally works against the principle of work conservation. In addition, having proportional memory reclaim behaviour has other benefits. Most notably, before this patch it's basically mandatory to set memory.low to a higher than desirable value because otherwise as soon as you exceed memory.low, all protection is lost, and all pages are eligible to scan again. By contrast, having a gradual ramp in reclaim pressure means that you now still get some protection when thresholds are exceeded, which means that one can now be more comfortable setting memory.low to lower values without worrying that all protection will be lost. This is important because workingset size is really hard to know exactly, especially with variable workloads, so at least getting *some* protection if your workingset size grows larger than you expect increases user confidence in setting memory.low without a huge buffer on top being needed. Thanks a lot to Johannes Weiner and Tejun Heo for their advice and assistance in thinking about how to make this work better. In testing these changes, I intended to verify that: 1. Changes in page scanning become gradual and proportional instead of binary. To test this, I experimented stepping further and further down memory.low protection on a workload that floats around 19G workingset when under memory.low protection, watching page scan rates for the workload cgroup: +------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+ | memory.low | test (pgscan/s) | control (pgscan/s) | % of control | +------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+ | 21G | 0 | 0 | N/A | | 17G | 867 | 3799 | 23% | | 12G | 1203 | 3543 | 34% | | 8G | 2534 | 3979 | 64% | | 4G | 3980 | 4147 | 96% | | 0 | 3799 | 3980 | 95% | +------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+ As you can see, the test kernel (with a kernel containing this patch) ramps up page scanning significantly more gradually than the control kernel (without this patch). 2. More gradual ramp up in reclaim aggression doesn't result in premature OOMs. To test this, I wrote a script that slowly increments the number of pages held by stress(1)'s --vm-keep mode until a production system entered severe overall memory contention. This script runs in a highly protected slice taking up the majority of available system memory. Watching vmstat revealed that page scanning continued essentially nominally between test and control, without causing forward reclaim progress to become arrested.

The "mode" and "level" variables are enums and in this context GCC will treat them as unsigned ints so the error handling is never triggered.

There's a really hard to reproduce race in z3fold between z3fold_free() and z3fold_reclaim_page(). z3fold_reclaim_page() can claim the page after z3fold_free() has checked if the page was claimed and z3fold_free() will then schedule this page for compaction which may in turn lead to random page faults (since that page would have been reclaimed by then). Fix that by claiming page in the beginning of z3fold_free() and not forgetting to clear the claim in the end.

Partially revert 16db3d3f ("kernel/sysctl.c: threads-max observe limits") because the patch is causing a regression to any workload which needs to override the auto-tuning of the limit provided by kernel. set_max_threads is implementing a boot time guesstimate to provide a sensible limit of the concurrently running threads so that runaways will not deplete all the memory. This is a good thing in general but there are workloads which might need to increase this limit for an application to run (reportedly WebSpher MQ is affected) and that is simply not possible after the mentioned change. It is also very dubious to override an admin decision by an estimation that doesn't have any direct relation to correctness of the kernel operation. Fix this by dropping set_max_threads from sysctl_max_threads so any value is accepted as long as it fits into MAX_THREADS which is important to check because allowing more threads could break internal robust futex restriction. While at it, do not use MIN_THREADS as the lower boundary because it is also only a heuristic for automatic estimation and admin might have a good reason to stop new threads to be created even when below this limit. This became more severe when we switched x86 from 4k to 8k kernel stacks. Starting since 6538b8ea ("x86_64: expand kernel stack to 16K") (3.16) we use THREAD_SIZE_ORDER = 2 and that halved the auto-tuned value. In the particular case 3.12 kernel.threads-max = 515561 4.4 kernel.threads-max = 200000 Neither of the two values is really insane on 32GB machine. I am not sure we want/need to tune the max_thread value further. If anything the tuning should be removed altogether if proven not useful in general. But we definitely need a way to override this auto-tuning.

Disabling memcg causes the null pointer dereference at uninitialized data in function mem_cgroup_track_foreign_dirty_slowpath(). Fix it by returning directly if memcg is disabled, but not trying to record the foreign writebacks with dirty pages.

Calling 'panic()' on a kernel with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y can leave the calling CPU in an infinite loop, but with interrupts and preemption enabled. From this state, userspace can continue to be scheduled, despite the system being "dead" as far as the kernel is concerned. This is easily reproducible on arm64 when booting with "nosmp" on the command line; a couple of shell scripts print out a periodic "Ping" message whilst another triggers a crash by writing to /proc/sysrq-trigger: | sysrq: Trigger a crash | Kernel panic - not syncing: sysrq triggered crash | CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: init Not tainted 5.2.15 #1 | Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) | Call trace: | dump_backtrace+0x0/0x148 | show_stack+0x14/0x20 | dump_stack+0xa0/0xc4 | panic+0x140/0x32c | sysrq_handle_reboot+0x0/0x20 | __handle_sysrq+0x124/0x190 | write_sysrq_trigger+0x64/0x88 | proc_reg_write+0x60/0xa8 | __vfs_write+0x18/0x40 | vfs_write+0xa4/0x1b8 | ksys_write+0x64/0xf0 | __arm64_sys_write+0x14/0x20 | el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0xb0/0x168 | el0_svc_handler+0x28/0x78 | el0_svc+0x8/0xc | Kernel Offset: disabled | CPU features: 0x0002,24002004 | Memory Limit: none | ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: sysrq triggered crash ]--- | Ping 2! | Ping 1! | Ping 1! | Ping 2!

Unused portion of a part-written fs-block-sized block is not set to zero in unaligned append direct write.This can lead to serious data inconsistencies. Ocfs2 manage disk with cluster size(for example, 1M), part-written in one cluster will change the cluster state from UN-WRITTEN to WRITTEN, VFS(function dio_zero_block) doesn't do the cleaning because bh's state is not set to NEW in function ocfs2_dio_wr_get_block when we write a WRITTEN cluster. For example, the cluster size is 1M, file size is 8k and we direct write from 14k to 15k, then 12k~14k and 15k~16k will contain dirty data. We have to deal with two cases: 1.The starting position of direct write is outside the file. 2.The starting position of direct write is located in the file. We need set bh's state to NEW in the first case. In the second case, we need mapped twice because bh's state of area out file should be set to NEW while area in file not.

Merge tag 'copy-struct-from-user-v5.4-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux Pull copy_struct_from_user() helper from Christian Brauner: "This contains the copy_struct_from_user() helper which got split out from the openat2() patchset. It is a generic interface designed to copy a struct from userspace. The helper will be especially useful for structs versioned by size of which we have quite a few. This allows for backwards compatibility, i.e. an extended struct can be passed to an older kernel, or a legacy struct can be passed to a newer kernel. For the first case (extended struct, older kernel) the new fields in an extended struct can be set to zero and the struct safely passed to an older kernel. The most obvious benefit is that this helper lets us get rid of duplicate code present in at least sched_setattr(), perf_event_open(), and clone3(). More importantly it will also help to ensure that users implementing versioning-by-size end up with the same core semantics. This point is especially crucial since we have at least one case where versioning-by-size is used but with slighly different semantics: sched_setattr(), perf_event_open(), and clone3() all do do similar checks to copy_struct_from_user() while rt_sigprocmask(2) always rejects differently-sized struct arguments. With this pull request we also switch over sched_setattr(), perf_event_open(), and clone3() to use the new helper" * tag 'copy-struct-from-user-v5.4-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: usercopy: Add parentheses around assignment in test_copy_struct_from_user perf_event_open: switch to copy_struct_from_user() sched_setattr: switch to copy_struct_from_user() clone3: switch to copy_struct_from_user() lib: introduce copy_struct_from_user() helper

Today, put_compat_statfs64() disallows nearly any field value over 2^32 if f_bsize is only 32 bits, but that makes no sense. compat_statfs64 is there for the explicit purpose of providing 64-bit fields for f_files, f_ffree, etc. And f_bsize is always only 32 bits. As a result, 32-bit userspace gets -EOVERFLOW for i.e. large file counts even with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 set. In reality, only f_bsize and f_frsize can legitimately overflow (fields like f_type and f_namelen should never be large), so test only those fields. This bug was discussed at length some time ago, and this is the proposal Al suggested at https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/8/6/640. It seemed to get dropped amid the discussion of other related changes, but this part seems obviously correct on its own, so I've picked it up and sent it, for expediency.

This reverts commit 4eaceea3. Several userspace clients (modesetting ddx and mutter+wayland at least) handle encoder.possible_crtcs incorrectly. What they essentially do is the following: possible_crtcs = ~0; for_each_possible_encoder(connector) possible_crtcs &= encoder->possible_crtcs; Ie. they calculate the intersection of the possible_crtcs for the connector when they really should be calculating the union instead. In our case each MST encoder now has just one unique bit set, and so the intersection is always zero. The end result is that MST connectors can't be lit up because no crtc can be found to drive them. I've submitted a fix for the modesetting ddx [1], and complained on #wayland about mutter, so hopefully the situation will improve in the future. In the meantime we have regression, and so must go back to the old way of misconfiguring possible_crtcs in the kernel.

I'm interested in kdb / kgdb and have sent various fixes over the years. I'd like to get CCed on patches so I can be aware of them and also help review.

Current versions of Intel's SDM incorrectly state that "bits 31:15 of the VM-Entry exception error-code field" must be zero. In reality, bits 31:16 must be zero, i.e. error codes are 16-bit values. The bogus error code check manifests as an unexpected VM-Entry failure due to an invalid code field (error number 7) in L1, e.g. when injecting a #GP with error_code=0x9f00. Nadav previously reported the bug[*], both to KVM and Intel, and fixed the associated kvm-unit-test.
