"memcg: export struct mem_cgroup" will add includes into linux/memcontrol.h which lead to further header dependency issues as reported by Guenter Roeck: In file included from include/linux/highmem.h:7:0, from include/linux/bio.h:23, from include/linux/writeback.h:192, from include/linux/memcontrol.h:30, from include/linux/swap.h:8, from ./arch/sparc/include/asm/pgtable_32.h:17, from ./arch/sparc/include/asm/pgtable.h:6, from arch/sparc/kernel/traps_32.c:23: include/linux/mm.h: In function 'is_vmalloc_addr': include/linux/mm.h:371:17: error: 'VMALLOC_START' undeclared (first use in this function) include/linux/mm.h:371:17: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in include/linux/mm.h:371:41: error: 'VMALLOC_END' undeclared (first use in this function) include/linux/mm.h: In function 'maybe_mkwrite': include/linux/mm.h:556:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'pte_mkwrite' The issue is that pgtable_32.h depends on swap.h to get swap_entry_t but that goes all the way down to linux/mm.h which wants to have VMALLOC_* which is defined later in pgtable_32.h, though. swap_entry_t is defined in include/mm_types.h so it should be sufficient to include this header without more dependencies.

dma_pool_destroy() does not tolerate a NULL dma_pool pointer argument and performs a NULL-pointer dereference. This requires additional attention and effort from developers/reviewers and forces all dma_pool_destroy() callers to do a NULL check if (pool) dma_pool_destroy(pool); Or, otherwise, be invalid dma_pool_destroy() users. Tweak dma_pool_destroy() and NULL-check the pointer there. Proposed by Andrew Morton.

=== Short summary ==== iov_iter_fault_in_readable() works around a really rare case and we can avoid the deadlock it addresses in another way: disable page faults and work around copy failures by faulting after the copy in a slow path instead of before in a hot one. I have a little microbenchmark that does repeated, small writes to tmpfs. This patch speeds that micro up by 6.2%. === Long version === When doing a sys_write() we have a source buffer in userspace and then a target file page. If both of those are the same physical page, there is a potential deadlock that we avoid. It would happen something like this: 1. We start the write to the file 2. Allocate page cache page and set it !Uptodate 3. Touch the userspace buffer to copy in the user data 4. Page fault (since source of the write not yet mapped) 5. Page fault code tries to lock the page and deadlocks (more details on this below) To avoid this, we prefault the page to guarantee that this fault does not occur. But, this prefault comes at a cost. It is one of the most expensive things that we do in a hot write() path (especially if we compare it to the read path). It is working around a pretty rare case. To fix this, it's pretty simple. We move the "prefault" code to run after we attempt the copy. We explicitly disable page faults _during_ the copy, detect the copy failure, then execute the "prefault" ouside of where the page lock needs to be held. iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic() actually already has an implicit pagefault_disable() inside of it (at least on x86), but we add an explicit one. I don't think we can depend on every kmap_atomic() implementation to pagefault_disable() for eternity. =================================================== The stack trace when this happens looks like this: wait_on_page_bit_killable+0xc0/0xd0 __lock_page_or_retry+0x84/0xa0 filemap_fault+0x1ed/0x3d0 __do_fault+0x41/0xc0 handle_mm_fault+0x9bb/0x1210 __do_page_fault+0x17f/0x3d0 do_page_fault+0xc/0x10 page_fault+0x22/0x30 generic_perform_write+0xca/0x1a0 __generic_file_write_iter+0x190/0x1f0 ext4_file_write_iter+0xe9/0x460 __vfs_write+0xaa/0xe0 vfs_write+0xa6/0x1a0 SyS_write+0x46/0xa0 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x6a 0xffffffffffffffff (Note, this does *NOT* happen in practice today because the kmap_atomic() does a pagefault_disable(). The trace above was obtained by taking out the pagefault_disable().) You can trigger the deadlock with this little code snippet: fd = open("foo", O_RDWR); fdmap = mmap(NULL, len, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); write(fd, &fdmap[0], 1); Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <matthew.r.wilcox@intel.com> Cc: Paul Cassella <cassella@cray.com> Cc: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

We want to know per-process workingset size for smart memory management on userland and we use swap(ex, zram) heavily to maximize memory efficiency so workingset includes swap as well as RSS. On such system, if there are lots of shared anonymous pages, it's really hard to figure out exactly how many each process consumes memory(ie, rss + wap) if the system has lots of shared anonymous memory(e.g, android). This patch introduces SwapPss field on /proc/<pid>/smaps so we can get more exact workingset size per process. Bongkyu tested it. Result is below. 1. 50M used swap SwapTotal: 461976 kB SwapFree: 411192 kB $ adb shell cat /proc/*/smaps | grep "SwapPss:" | awk '{sum += $2} END {print sum}'; 48236 $ adb shell cat /proc/*/smaps | grep "Swap:" | awk '{sum += $2} END {print sum}'; 141184 2. 240M used swap SwapTotal: 461976 kB SwapFree: 216808 kB $ adb shell cat /proc/*/smaps | grep "SwapPss:" | awk '{sum += $2} END {print sum}'; 230315 $ adb shell cat /proc/*/smaps | grep "Swap:" | awk '{sum += $2} END {print sum}'; 1387744 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: simplify kunmap_atomic() call] Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Reported-by: Bongkyu Kim <bongkyu.kim@lge.com> Tested-by: Bongkyu Kim <bongkyu.kim@lge.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky.work@gmail.com> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: Jerome Marchand <jmarchan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This patch sets bit 56 in pagemap if this page is mapped only once. It allows to detect exclusively used pages without exposing PFN: present file exclusive state 0 0 0 non-present 1 1 0 file page mapped somewhere else 1 1 1 file page mapped only here 1 0 0 anon non-CoWed page (shared with parent/child) 1 0 1 anon CoWed page (or never forked) CoWed pages in (MAP_FILE | MAP_PRIVATE) areas are anon in this context. MMap-exclusive bit doesn't reflect potential page-sharing via swapcache: page could be mapped once but has several swap-ptes which point to it. Application could detect that by swap bit in pagemap entry and touch that pte via /proc/pid/mem to get real information.

This patchset makes pagemap useable again in the safe way (after row hammer bug it was made CAP_SYS_ADMIN-only). This patchset restores access for non-privileged users but hides PFNs from them. Also it adds bit 'map-exclusive' which is set if page is mapped only here: it helps in estimation of working set without exposing pfns and allows to distinguish CoWed and non-CoWed private anonymous pages. Second patch removes page-shift bits and completes migration to the new pagemap format: flags soft-dirty and mmap-exclusive are available only in the new format. This patch (of 5): This patch moves permission checks from pagemap_read() into pagemap_open(). Pointer to mm is saved in file->private_data. This reference pins only mm_struct itself. /proc/*/mem, maps, smaps already work in the same way.

If two threads write-fault on the same hole at the same time, the winner of the race will return to userspace and complete their store, only to have the loser overwrite their store with zeroes. Fix this for now by taking the i_mmap_sem for write instead of read, and do so outside the call to get_block(). Now the loser of the race will see the block has already been zeroed, and will not zero it again. This severely limits our scalability. I have ideas for improving it, but those can wait for a later patch.

Jan Kara pointed out that in the case where we are writing to a hole, we can end up with a lock inversion between the page lock and the journal lock. We can avoid this by starting the transaction in ext4 before calling into DAX. The journal lock nests inside the superblock pagefault lock, so we have to duplicate that code from dax_fault, like XFS does.

DAX wants different semantics from any currently-existing ext4 get_block callback. Unlike ext4_get_block_write(), it needs to honour the 'create' flag, and unlike ext4_get_block(), it needs to be able to return unwritten extents. So introduce a new ext4_get_block_dax() which has those semantics. We could also change ext4_get_block_write() to honour the 'create' flag, but that might have consequences on other users that I do not currently understand.
