Patch series "convert core hugetlb functions to folios", v5. ============== OVERVIEW =========================== Now that many hugetlb helper functions that deal with hugetlb specific flags[1] and hugetlb cgroups[2] are converted to folios, higher level allocation, prep, and freeing functions within hugetlb can also be converted to operate in folios. Patch 1 of this series implements the wrapper functions around setting the compound destructor and compound order for a folio. Besides the user added in patch 1, patch 2 and patch 9 also use these helper functions. Patches 2-10 convert the higher level hugetlb functions to folios. ============== TESTING =========================== LTP: Ran 10 back to back rounds of the LTP hugetlb test suite.

Patch series "mm/sparse-vmemmap: Generalise helpers and enable for LoongArch", v14. This series is in order to enable sparse-vmemmap for LoongArch. But LoongArch cannot use generic helpers directly because MIPS&LoongArch need to call pgd_init()/pud_init()/pmd_init() when populating page tables. So we adjust the prototypes of p?d_init() to make generic helpers can call them, then enable sparse-vmemmap with generic helpers, and to be further, generalise vmemmap_populate_hugepages() for ARM64, X86 and LoongArch. This patch (of 4): We are preparing to add sparse vmemmap support to LoongArch. MIPS and LoongArch need to call pgd_init()/pud_init()/pmd_init() when populating page tables, so adjust their prototypes to make generic helpers can call them.

Lockdep and KMSAN used to play badly together, causing deadlocks when KMSAN instrumentation of lockdep.c called lockdep functions recursively. Looks like this is no more the case, and a kernel can run (yet slower) with both KMSAN and lockdep enabled. This patch should fix false positives on wq_head->lock->dep_map, which KMSAN used to consider uninitialized because of lockdep.c not being instrumented.

generic_fadvise() sets endbyte = -1 to specify end of file (i.e. if length == 0 is passed from userspace). Most other callers to filemap_fdatawrite_range() use LLONG_MAX for this purpose, particularly if they also call fdatawait_range() (which requires end >= start). For example, sync_file_range(), vfs_fsync() (where the range is passed down through per-fs ->fsync() callbacks), filemap_flush(), etc. generic_fadvise() does not currently wait on writeback, but fix the call up to be consistent with other callers.

Patch series "filemap: skip write and wait if end offset precedes start", v2. A fix for the odd write and wait behavior described in the patch 1 commit log. Technically patch 1 could simply remove the check rather than lift it into the callers, but this seemed a bit more user friendly to me. Patch 2 is appended after observation that fadvise() interacted poorly with the v1 patch. This is no longer a problem with v2, making patch 2 purely a cleanup. This series survived both fstests and ltp regression runs without observable problems. I had (end < start) warning checks in each relevant function, with fadvise() being the only caller that triggered them. That said, I dropped the warnings after testing because there seemed to much potential for noise from the various other callers. This patch (of 2): A call to file[map]_write_and_wait_range() with an end offset that precedes the start offset but happens to land in the same page can trigger writeback submission but fails to wait on the submitted page. Writeback submission occurs because __filemap_fdatawrite_range() passes both offsets down into write_cache_pages(), which rounds down to page indexes before it starts processing writeback. However, __filemap_fdatawait_range() immediately returns if the byte-granular end offset precedes the start offset. This behavior was observed in the form of unpredictable latency from a frequent write and wait call with incorrect parameters. The behavior gave the impression that the fdatawait path might occasionally fail to wait on writeback, but further investigation showed the latency was from write_cache_pages() waiting on writeback state to clear for a page already under writeback. Therefore, this indicated that fdatawait actually never waits on writeback in this particular situation. The byte granular check in __filemap_fdatawait_range() goes all the way back to the old wait_on_page_writeback() helper. It originally used page offsets and so would have waited in this problematic case. That changed to byte granularity file offsets in commit 94004ed7 ("kill wait_on_page_writeback_range"), which subtly changed this behavior. The check itself has become somewhat redundant since the error checking code that used to follow the wait loop (at the time of the aforementioned commit) has now been removed and lifted into the higher level callers. Therefore, we can restore historical fdatawait behavior by simply removing the check. Since the current fdatawait behavior has been in place for quite some time and is consistent with other interfaces that use file offsets, instead lift the check into the file[map]_write_and_wait_range() helpers to provide consistent behavior between the write and wait.

Currently, zsmalloc has a hierarchy of locks, which includes a pool-level migrate_lock, and a lock for each size class. We have to obtain both locks in the hotpath in most cases anyway, except for zs_malloc. This exception will no longer exist when we introduce a LRU into the zs_pool for the new writeback functionality - we will need to obtain a pool-level lock to synchronize LRU handling even in zs_malloc. In preparation for zsmalloc writeback, consolidate these locks into a single pool-level lock, which drastically reduces the complexity of synchronization in zsmalloc. We have also benchmarked the lock consolidation to see the performance effect of this change on zram. First, we ran a synthetic FS workload on a server machine with 36 cores (same machine for all runs), using fs_mark -d ../zram1mnt -s 100000 -n 2500 -t 32 -k before and after for btrfs and ext4 on zram (FS usage is 80%). Here is the result (unit is file/second): With lock consolidation (btrfs): Average: 13520.2, Median: 13531.0, Stddev: 137.5961482019028 Without lock consolidation (btrfs): Average: 13487.2, Median: 13575.0, Stddev: 309.08283679298665 With lock consolidation (ext4): Average: 16824.4, Median: 16839.0, Stddev: 89.97388510006668 Without lock consolidation (ext4) Average: 16958.0, Median: 16986.0, Stddev: 194.7370021336469 As you can see, we observe a 0.3% regression for btrfs, and a 0.9% regression for ext4. This is a small, barely measurable difference in my opinion. For a more realistic scenario, we also tries building the kernel on zram. Here is the time it takes (in seconds): With lock consolidation (btrfs): real Average: 319.6, Median: 320.0, Stddev: 0.8944271909999159 user Average: 6894.2, Median: 6895.0, Stddev: 25.528415540334656 sys Average: 521.4, Median: 522.0, Stddev: 1.51657508881031 Without lock consolidation (btrfs): real Average: 319.8, Median: 320.0, Stddev: 0.8366600265340756 user Average: 6896.6, Median: 6899.0, Stddev: 16.04057355583023 sys Average: 520.6, Median: 521.0, Stddev: 1.140175425099138 With lock consolidation (ext4): real Average: 320.0, Median: 319.0, Stddev: 1.4142135623730951 user Average: 6896.8, Median: 6878.0, Stddev: 28.621670111997307 sys Average: 521.2, Median: 521.0, Stddev: 1.7888543819998317 Without lock consolidation (ext4) real Average: 319.6, Median: 319.0, Stddev: 0.8944271909999159 user Average: 6886.2, Median: 6887.0, Stddev: 16.93221781102523 sys Average: 520.4, Median: 520.0, Stddev: 1.140175425099138 The difference is entirely within the noise of a typical run on zram. This hardly justifies the complexity of maintaining both the pool lock and the class lock. In fact, for writeback, we would need to introduce yet another lock to prevent data races on the pool's LRU, further complicating the lock handling logic. IMHO, it is just better to collapse all of these into a single pool-level lock. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221128191616.1261026-4-nphamcs@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

There is a lot of provision for flexibility that isn't actually needed or used. Zswap (the only zpool user) always passes zpool_ops with an .evict method set. The backends who reclaim only do so for zswap, so they can also directly call zpool_ops without indirection or checks. Finally, there is no need to check the retries parameters and bail with -EINVAL in the reclaim function, when that's called just a few lines below with a hard-coded 8. There is no need to duplicate the evictable and sleep_mapped attrs from the driver in zpool_ops. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221128191616.1261026-3-nphamcs@gmail.comReviewed-by:

Patch series "Implement writeback for zsmalloc", v7. Unlike other zswap allocators such as zbud or z3fold, zsmalloc currently lacks the writeback mechanism. This means that when the zswap pool is full, it will simply reject further allocations, and the pages will be written directly to swap. This series of patches implements writeback for zsmalloc. When the zswap pool becomes full, zsmalloc will attempt to evict all the compressed objects in the least-recently used zspages. This patch (of 6): zswap's customary lock order is tree->lock before pool->lock, because the tree->lock protects the entries' refcount, and the free callbacks in the backends acquire their respective pool locks to dispatch the backing object. zsmalloc's map callback takes the pool lock, so zswap must not grab the tree->lock while a handle is mapped. This currently only happens during writeback, which isn't implemented for zsmalloc. In preparation for it, move the tree->lock section out of the mapped entry section Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221128191616.1261026-1-nphamcs@gmail.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221128191616.1261026-2-nphamcs@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

When MADV_PAGEOUT is called on a private file mapping VMA region, we bail out early if the process is neither owner nor write capable of the file. However, this VMA may have both private/shared clean pages and private dirty pages. The opportunity of paging out the private dirty pages (Anon pages) is missed. Fix this behavior by allowing private file mappings pageout further and perform the file access check along with PageAnon() during page walk. We observe ~10% improvement in zram usage, thus leaving more available memory on a 4GB RAM system running Android.

FOLL_MIGRATION exists only for the purpose of break_ksm(), and actually, there is not even the need to wait for the migration to finish, we only want to know if we're dealing with a KSM page. Using follow_page() just to identify a KSM page overcomplicates GUP code. Let's use walk_page_range_vma() instead, because we don't actually care about the page itself, we only need to know a single property -- no need to even grab a reference. So, get rid of follow_page() usage such that we can get rid of FOLL_MIGRATION now and eventually be able to get rid of follow_page() in the future. In my setup (AMD Ryzen 9 3900X), running the KSM selftest to test unmerge performance on 2 GiB (taskset 0x8 ./ksm_tests -D -s 2048), this results in a performance degradation of ~2% (old: ~5010 MiB/s, new: ~4900 MiB/s). I don't think we particularly care for now. Interestingly, the benchmark reduction is due to the single callback. Adding a second callback (e.g., pud_entry()) reduces the benchmark by another 100-200 MiB/s. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221021101141.84170-9-david@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

Let's add walk_page_range_vma(), which is similar to walk_page_vma(), however, is only interested in a subset of the VMA range. To be used in KSM code to stop using follow_page() next. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221021101141.84170-8-david@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

Let's stop breaking COW via a fake write fault and let's use FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE instead. This avoids any wrong side effects of the fake write fault, such as mapping the PTE writable and marking the pte dirty/softdirty. Consequently, we will no longer trigger a fake write fault and break COW without any such side-effects. Also, this fixes KSM interaction with userfaultfd-wp: when we have a KSM page that's write-protected by userfaultfd, break_ksm()->handle_mm_fault() will fail with VM_FAULT_SIGBUS and will simply return in break_ksm() with 0 instead of actually breaking COW. For now, the KSM unmerge tests can trigger that: $ sudo ./ksm_functional_tests TAP version 13 1..3 # [RUN] test_unmerge ok 1 Pages were unmerged # [RUN] test_unmerge_discarded ok 2 Pages were unmerged # [RUN] test_unmerge_uffd_wp not ok 3 Pages were unmerged Bail out! 1 out of 3 tests failed # Planned tests != run tests (2 != 3) # Totals: pass:2 fail:1 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0 The warning in dmesg also indicates this wrong handling: [ 230.096368] FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY missing 881 [ 230.100822] CPU: 1 PID: 1643 Comm: ksm-uffd-wp [...] [ 230.110124] Hardware name: [...] [ 230.117775] Call Trace: [ 230.120227] <TASK> [ 230.122334] dump_stack_lvl+0x44/0x5c [ 230.126010] handle_userfault.cold+0x14/0x19 [ 230.130281] ? tlb_finish_mmu+0x65/0x170 [ 230.134207] ? uffd_wp_range+0x65/0xa0 [ 230.137959] ? _raw_spin_unlock+0x15/0x30 [ 230.141972] ? do_wp_page+0x50/0x590 [ 230.145551] __handle_mm_fault+0x9f5/0xf50 [ 230.149652] ? mmput+0x1f/0x40 [ 230.152712] handle_mm_fault+0xb9/0x2a0 [ 230.156550] break_ksm+0x141/0x180 [ 230.159964] unmerge_ksm_pages+0x60/0x90 [ 230.163890] ksm_madvise+0x3c/0xb0 [ 230.167295] do_madvise.part.0+0x10c/0xeb0 [ 230.171396] ? do_syscall_64+0x67/0x80 [ 230.175157] __x64_sys_madvise+0x5a/0x70 [ 230.179082] do_syscall_64+0x58/0x80 [ 230.182661] ? do_syscall_64+0x67/0x80 [ 230.186413] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd This is primarily a fix for KSM+userfaultfd-wp, however, the fake write fault was always questionable.

Now that GUP no longer requires VM_FAULT_WRITE, break_ksm() is the sole remaining user of VM_FAULT_WRITE. As we also want to stop triggering a fake write fault and instead use FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE -- similar to GUP-triggered unsharing when taking a R/O pin on a shared anonymous page (including KSM pages), let's stop relying on VM_FAULT_WRITE. Let's rework break_ksm() to not rely on the return value of handle_mm_fault() anymore to figure out whether COW-breaking was successful. Simply perform another follow_page() lookup to verify the result. While this makes break_ksm() slightly less efficient, we can simplify handle_mm_fault() a little and easily switch to FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE without introducing similar KSM-specific behavior for FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE. In my setup (AMD Ryzen 9 3900X), running the KSM selftest to test unmerge performance on 2 GiB (taskset 0x8 ./ksm_tests -D -s 2048), this results in a performance degradation of ~4% -- 5% (old: ~5250 MiB/s, new: ~5010 MiB/s). I don't think that we particularly care about that performance drop when unmerging. If it ever turns out to be an actual performance issue, we can think about a better alternative for FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE -- let's just keep it simple for now.

As Peter points out, the caller passes a single VMA and can just do that check itself. And in fact, no existing users rely on test_walk() getting called. So let's just remove it and make the implementation slightly more efficient. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221021101141.84170-7-david@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "mm/ksm: break_ksm() cleanups and fixes", v2. This series cleans up and fixes break_ksm(). In summary, we no longer use fake write faults to break COW but instead FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE. Further, we move away from using follow_page() --- that we can hopefully remove completely at one point --- and use new walk_page_range_vma() instead. Fortunately, we can get rid of VM_FAULT_WRITE and FOLL_MIGRATION in common code now. Extend the existing ksm tests by an unmerge benchmark, and a some new unmerge tests. Also, add a selftest to measure MADV_UNMERGEABLE performance. In my setup (AMD Ryzen 9 3900X), running the KSM selftest to test unmerge performance on 2 GiB (taskset 0x8 ./ksm_tests -D -s 2048), this results in a performance degradation of ~6% -- 7% (old: ~5250 MiB/s, new: ~4900 MiB/s). I don't think we particularly care for now, but it's good to be aware of the implication. This patch (of 9): Let's add three unmerge tests (MADV_UNMERGEABLE unmerging all pages in the range). test_unmerge(): basic unmerge tests test_unmerge_discarded(): have some pte_none() entries in the range test_unmerge_uffd_wp(): protect the merged pages using uffd-wp ksm_tests.c currently contains a mixture of benchmarks and tests, whereby each test is carried out by executing the ksm_tests binary with specific parameters. Let's add new ksm_functional_tests.c that performs multiple, smaller functional tests all at once.

Our memory management kernel CI testing at Red Hat uses the VM selftests and we have run into two problems: First, our LTP tests overlap with the VM selftests. We want to avoid unhelpful redundancy in our testing practices. Second, we have observed the current run_vmtests.sh to report overall failure/ambiguous results in the case that a machine lacks the necessary hardware to perform one or more of the tests. E.g. ksm tests that require more than one numa node. We want to be able to run the vm selftests suitable to particular hardware. Add the ability to run one or more groups of vm tests via run_vmtests.sh instead of simply all-or-none in order to solve these problems. Preserve existing default behavior of running all tests when the script is invoked with no arguments. Documentation of test groups is included in the patch as follows: # ./run_vmtests.sh [ -h || --help ] usage: ./tools/testing/selftests/vm/run_vmtests.sh [ -h | -t "<categories>"] -t: specify specific categories to tests to run -h: display this message The default behavior is to run all tests. Alternatively, specific groups tests can be run by passing a string to the -t argument containing one or more of the following categories separated by spaces: - mmap tests for mmap(2) - gup_test tests for gup using gup_test interface - userfaultfd tests for userfaultfd(2) - compaction a test for the patch "Allow compaction of unevictable pages" - mlock tests for mlock(2) - mremap tests for mremap(2) - hugevm tests for very large virtual address space - vmalloc vmalloc smoke tests - hmm hmm smoke tests - madv_populate test memadvise(2) MADV_POPULATE_{READ,WRITE} options - memfd_secret test memfd_secret(2) - process_mrelease test process_mrelease(2) - ksm ksm tests that do not require >=2 NUMA nodes - ksm_numa ksm tests that require >=2 NUMA nodes - pkey memory protection key tests - soft_dirty test soft dirty page bit semantics - anon_cow test anonymous copy-on-write semantics example: ./run_vmtests.sh -t "hmm mmap ksm" Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221018231222.1884715-1-jsavitz@redhat.comSigned-off-by:Joel Savitz <jsavitz@redhat.com> Cc: Joel Savitz <jsavitz@redhat.com> Cc: Nico Pache <npache@redhat.com> Cc: Shuah Khan <shuah@kernel.org> Signed-off-by:

memcg_write_event_control() accesses the dentry->d_name of the specified control fd to route the write call. As a cgroup interface file can't be renamed, it's safe to access d_name as long as the specified file is a regular cgroup file. Also, as these cgroup interface files can't be removed before the directory, it's safe to access the parent too. Prior to 347c4a87 ("memcg: remove cgroup_event->cft"), there was a call to __file_cft() which verified that the specified file is a regular cgroupfs file before further accesses. The cftype pointer returned from __file_cft() was no longer necessary and the commit inadvertently dropped the file type check with it allowing any file to slip through. With the invarients broken, the d_name and parent accesses can now race against renames and removals of arbitrary files and cause use-after-free's. Fix the bug by resurrecting the file type check in __file_cft(). Now that cgroupfs is implemented through kernfs, checking the file operations needs to go through a layer of indirection. Instead, let's check the superblock and dentry type. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/Y5FRm/cfcKPGzWwl@slm.duckdns.org Fixes: 347c4a87 ("memcg: remove cgroup_event->cft") Signed-off-by:
