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.

Fortunately, the last user (KSM) is gone, so let's just remove this rather special code from generic GUP handling -- especially because KSM never required the PMD handling as KSM only deals with individual base pages.

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.

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.

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: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

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.

Add more sanity checks to the VMA that do_brk_flags() will expand. Ensure the VMA matches basic merge requirements within the function before calling can_vma_merge_after(). Drop the duplicate checks from vm_brk_flags() since they will be enforced later. The old code would expand file VMAs on brk(), which is functionally wrong and also dangerous in terms of locking because the brk() path isn't designed for file VMAs and therefore doesn't lock the file mapping. Checking can_vma_merge_after() ensures that new anonymous VMAs can't be merged into file VMAs.

We use "unsigned long" to store a PFN in the kernel and phys_addr_t to store a physical address. On a 64bit system, both are 64bit wide. However, on a 32bit system, the latter might be 64bit wide. This is, for example, the case on x86 with PAE: phys_addr_t and PTEs are 64bit wide, while "unsigned long" only spans 32bit. The current definition of SWP_PFN_BITS without MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS misses that case, and assumes that the maximum PFN is limited by an 32bit phys_addr_t. This implies, that SWP_PFN_BITS will currently only be able to cover 4 GiB - 1 on any 32bit system with 4k page size, which is wrong. Let's rely on the number of bits in phys_addr_t instead, but make sure to not exceed the maximum swap offset, to not make the BUILD_BUG_ON() in is_pfn_swap_entry() unhappy. Note that swp_entry_t is effectively an unsigned long and the maximum swap offset shares that value with the swap type. For example, on an 8 GiB x86 PAE system with a kernel config based on Debian 11.5 (-> CONFIG_FLATMEM=y, CONFIG_X86_PAE=y), we will currently fail removing migration entries (remove_migration_ptes()), because mm/page_vma_mapped.c:check_pte() will fail to identify a PFN match as swp_offset_pfn() wrongly masks off PFN bits. For example, split_huge_page_to_list()->...->remap_page() will leave migration entries in place and continue to unlock the page.

Fix tmpfs data loss when the fallocate system call is interrupted by a signal, or fails for some other reason. The partial folio handling in shmem_undo_range() forgot to consider this unfalloc case, and was liable to erase or truncate out data which had already been committed earlier. It turns out that none of the partial folio handling there is appropriate for the unfalloc case, which just wants to proceed to removal of whole folios: which find_get_entries() provides, even when partially covered.

We used to have 624a2c94 (Partly revert "mm/thp: carry over dirty bit when thp splits on pmd") fixing the regression reported here by Anatoly Pugachev on sparc64: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221021160603.GA23307@u164.east.ru Where we temporarily ignored the dirty bit for small pages. Then, Hev also reported similar issue on loongarch: (the original mail was private, but Anatoly copied the list here) https://lore.kernel.org/r/CADxRZqxqb7f_WhMh=jweZP+ynf_JwGd-0VwbYgp4P+T0-AXosw@mail.gmail.com Hev pointed out that the issue is having HW write bit set within the pte_mkdirty() so the split pte can be written after split even if e.g. they were shared by more than one processes, causing data corrupt. Hev also tried to explain why loongarch set HW write bit in mkdirty: https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAHirt9itKO_K_HPboXh5AyJtt16Zf0cD73PtHvM=na39u_ztxA@mail.gmail.com One way to fix it is as what Huacai proposed here for loongarch (then we can re-apply the dirty bit in thp split): https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221117042532.4064448-1-chenhuacai@loongson.cnn We may need similar thing for sparc64, though. For now since we've found the root cause of the dirty bit issue the simpler solution (which won't lose the dirty bit for small) that will work for both is we wr-protect after pte_mkdirty(), so the HW write bit can be persistent after thp split. Add a comment for wrprotect, so we will not mess up the ordering later. With 624a2c94 (Partly revert "mm/thp: carry over dirty bit when thp splits on pmd") this is not a fix anymore, but just brings back the dirty bit for thp split safely, so we re-apply the optimization but in safe way. Provide a Tested-by credit to Hev too (not the exact same patch but the same outcome) for loongarch.

In __gmap_segment_gaddr() pmd level page table page is being extracted from the pmd pointer, similar to pmd_pgtable_page() implementation.

Current pmd_to_page(), which derives the page table page containing the pmd address has a very misleading name.

Depending on the memory configuration, isolate_freepages_block() may scan pages out of the target range and causes panic. Panic can occur on systems with multiple zones in a single pageblock. The reason it is rare is that it only happens in special configurations. Depending on how many similar systems there are, it may be a good idea to fix this problem for older kernels as well. The problem is that pfn as argument of fast_isolate_around() could be out of the target range. Therefore we should consider the case where pfn < start_pfn, and also the case where end_pfn < pfn. This problem should have been addressd by the commit 6e2b7044 ("mm, compaction: make fast_isolate_freepages() stay within zone") but there was an oversight. Case1: pfn < start_pfn <at memory compaction for node Y> | node X's zone | node Y's zone +-----------------+------------------------------... pageblock ^ ^ ^ +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+... ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ end_pfn ^ start_pfn = cc->zone->zone_start_pfn pfn <---------> scanned range by "Scan After" Case2: end_pfn < pfn <at memory compaction for node X> | node X's zone | node Y's zone +-----------------+------------------------------... pageblock ^ ^ ^ +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+... ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ pfn ^ end_pfn start_pfn <---------> scanned range by "Scan Before" It seems that there is no good reason to skip nr_isolated pages just after given pfn. So let perform simple scan from start to end instead of dividing the scan into "Before" and "After".

bdi has two existing knobs to limit the amount of dirty memory: min_ratio and max_ratio. However the granularity of the knobs is limited and often it is more convenient to specify limits in terms of bytes. This change adds the min_bytes knob. It does not store the min_bytes value, instead it converts the max_bytes value to a ratio. The value is therefore more an approximation than an absolute value. It also maintains the sum over all the bdi min_ratio values stored in the variable bdi_min_ratio.

This introduces the bdi_set_min_bytes() function. The min_bytes function does not store the min_bytes value. Instead it converts the min_bytes value into the corresponding ratio value.

This splits off the __bdi_set_min_ratio() function from the bdi_set_min_ratio() function. The __bdi_set_min_ratio() function will also be called from the bdi_set_min_bytes() function, which will be introduced in the next patch.
