Currently an attempt to set swap.max into a value lower than the actual swap usage fails, which causes configuration problems as there's no way of lowering the configuration below the current usage short of turning off swap entirely. This makes swap.max difficult to use and allows delegatees to lock the delegator out of reducing swap allocation. This patch updates swap_max_write() so that the limit can be lowered below the current usage. It doesn't implement active reclaiming of swap entries for the following reasons. * mem_cgroup_swap_full() already tells the swap machinary to aggressively reclaim swap entries if the usage is above 50% of limit, so simply lowering the limit automatically triggers gradual reclaim. * Forcing back swapped out pages is likely to heavily impact the workload and mess up the working set. Given that swap usually is a lot less valuable and less scarce, letting the existing usage dissipate over time through the above gradual reclaim and as they're falted back in is likely the better behavior.

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler. For now, this is just documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an errno. Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a distinct type. See commit 1c8f4220 ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t") vmf_error() is the newly introduce inline function in 4.17-rc6.

By moving page->private to the fourth word of struct page, we can put the SLUB counters in the same word as SLAB's s_mem and still do the cmpxchg_double trick. Now the SLUB counters no longer overlap with the mapcount or refcount so we can drop the call to page_mapcount_reset() and simplify set_page_slub_counters() to a single line.

Define a new PageTable bit in the page_type and use it to mark pages in use as page tables. This can be helpful when debugging crashdumps or analysing memory fragmentation. Add a KPF flag to report these pages to userspace and update page-types.c to interpret that flag. Note that only pages currently accounted as NR_PAGETABLES are tracked as PageTable; this does not include pgd/p4d/pud/pmd pages. Those will be the subject of a later patch.

We're already using a union of many fields here, so stop abusing the _mapcount and make page_type its own field. That implies renaming some of the machinery that creates PageBuddy, PageBalloon and PageKmemcg; bring back the PG_buddy, PG_balloon and PG_kmemcg names. As suggested by Kirill, make page_type a bitmask. Because it starts out life as -1 (thanks to sharing the storage with _mapcount), setting a page flag means clearing the appropriate bit. This gives us space for probably twenty or so extra bits (depending how paranoid we want to be about _mapcount underflow).

Patch series "Rearrange struct page", v6. As presented at LSFMM, this patch-set rearranges struct page to give more contiguous usable space to users who have allocated a struct page for their own purposes. For a graphical view of before-and-after, see the first two tabs of https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tvCszs_7FXrjei9_mtFiKV6nW1FLnYyvPvW-qNZhdog/edit?usp=sharing Highlights: - deferred_list now really exists in struct page instead of just a comment. - hmm_data also exists in struct page instead of being a nasty hack. - x86's PGD pages have a real pointer to the mm_struct. - VMalloc pages now have all sorts of extra information stored in them to help with debugging and tuning. - rcu_head is no longer tied to slab in case anyone else wants to free pages by RCU. - slub's counters no longer share space with _refcount. - slub's freelist+counters are now naturally dword aligned. - slub loses a parameter to a lot of functions and a sysfs file. This patch (of 17): s390 borrows the storage used for _mapcount in struct page in order to account whether the bottom or top half is being used for 2kB page tables. I want to use that for something else, so use the top byte of _refcount instead of the bottom byte of _mapcount. _refcount may temporarily be incremented by other CPUs that see a stale pointer to this page in the page cache, but each CPU can only increment it by one, and there are no systems with 2^24 CPUs today, so they will not change the upper byte of _refcount. We do have to be a little careful not to lose any of their writes (as they will subsequently decrement the counter).

This is to take better advantage of general huge page clearing optimization (commit c79b57e4: "mm: hugetlb: clear target sub-page last when clearing huge page") for hugetlbfs. In the general optimization patch, the sub-page to access will be cleared last to avoid the cache lines of to access sub-page to be evicted when clearing other sub-pages. This works better if we have the address of the sub-page to access, that is, the fault address inside the huge page. So the hugetlbfs no page fault handler is changed to pass that information. This will benefit workloads which don't access the begin of the hugetlbfs huge page after the page fault under heavy cache contention for shared last level cache. The patch is a generic optimization which should benefit quite some workloads, not for a specific use case. To demonstrate the performance benefit of the patch, we tested it with vm-scalability run on hugetlbfs. With this patch, the throughput increases ~28.1% in vm-scalability anon-w-seq test case with 88 processes on a 2 socket Xeon E5 2699 v4 system (44 cores, 88 threads). The test case creates 88 processes, each process mmaps a big anonymous memory area with MAP_HUGETLB and writes to it from the end to the begin. For each process, other processes could be seen as other workload which generates heavy cache pressure. At the same time, the cache miss rate reduced from ~36.3% to ~25.6%, the IPC (instruction per cycle) increased from 0.3 to 0.37, and the time spent in user space is reduced ~19.3%.

Memory controller implements the memory.low best-effort memory protection mechanism, which works perfectly in many cases and allows protecting working sets of important workloads from sudden reclaim. But its semantics has a significant limitation: it works only as long as there is a supply of reclaimable memory. This makes it pretty useless against any sort of slow memory leaks or memory usage increases. This is especially true for swapless systems. If swap is enabled, memory soft protection effectively postpones problems, allowing a leaking application to fill all swap area, which makes no sense. The only effective way to guarantee the memory protection in this case is to invoke the OOM killer. It's possible to handle this case in userspace by reacting on MEMCG_LOW events; but there is still a place for a fail-safe in-kernel mechanism to provide stronger guarantees. This patch introduces the memory.min interface for cgroup v2 memory controller. It works very similarly to memory.low (sharing the same hierarchical behavior), except that it's not disabled if there is no more reclaimable memory in the system. If cgroup is not populated, its memory.min is ignored, because otherwise even the OOM killer wouldn't be able to reclaim the protected memory, and the system can stall.

In commit ab676b7d ("pagemap: do not leak physical addresses to non-privileged userspace"), the /proc/PID/pagemap is restricted to be readable only by CAP_SYS_ADMIN to address some security issue. In commit 1c90308e ("pagemap: hide physical addresses from non-privileged users"), the restriction is relieved to make /proc/PID/pagemap readable, but hide the physical addresses for non-privileged users. But the swap entries are readable for non-privileged users too. This has some security issues. For example, for page under migrating, the swap entry has physical address information. So, in this patch, the swap entries are hided for non-privileged users too.

tmpfs uses the helper d_find_alias() to find a dentry from a decoded inode, but d_find_alias() skips unhashed dentries, so unlinked files cannot be decoded from a file handle. This can be reproduced using xfstests test program open_by_handle: $ open_by handle -c /tmp/testdir $ open_by_handle -dk /tmp/testdir open_by_handle(/tmp/testdir/file000000) returned 116 incorrectly on an unlinked open file! To fix this, if d_find_alias() can't find a hashed alias, call d_find_any_alias() to return an unhashed one.

While revisiting my Btrfs swapfile series [1], I introduced a situation in which reclaim would lock i_rwsem, and even though the swapon() path clearly made GFP_KERNEL allocations while holding i_rwsem, I got no complaints from lockdep. It turns out that the rework of the fs_reclaim annotation was broken: if the current task has PF_MEMALLOC set, we don't acquire the dummy fs_reclaim lock, but when reclaiming we always check this _after_ we've just set the PF_MEMALLOC flag. In most cases, we can fix this by moving the fs_reclaim_{acquire,release}() outside of the memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore}(), althought kswapd is slightly different. After applying this, I got the expected lockdep splats. 1: https://lwn.net/Articles/625412/ Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/9f8aa70652a98e98d7c4de0fc96a4addcee13efe.1523778026.git.osandov@fb.com Fixes: d92a8cfc ("locking/lockdep: Rework FS_RECLAIM annotation") Signed-off-by:Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com> Reviewed-by:

Since tmpfs THP was supported in 4.8, hugetlbfs is not the only filesystem with huge page support anymore. tmpfs can use huge page via THP when mounting by "huge=" mount option. When applications use huge page on hugetlbfs, it just need check the filesystem magic number, but it is not enough for tmpfs. Make stat.st_blksize return huge page size if it is mounted by appropriate "huge=" option to give applications a hint to optimize the behavior with THP. Some applications may not do wisely with THP. For example, QEMU may mmap file on non huge page aligned hint address with MAP_FIXED, which results in no pages are PMD mapped even though THP is used. Some applications may mmap file with non huge page aligned offset. Both behaviors make THP pointless. statfs.f_bsize still returns 4KB for tmpfs since THP could be split, and it also may fallback to 4KB page silently if there is not enough huge page. Furthermore, different f_bsize makes max_blocks and free_blocks calculation harder but without too much benefit. Returning huge page size via stat.st_blksize sounds good enough. Since PUD size huge page for THP has not been supported, now it just returns HPAGE_PMD_SIZE. Hugh said: : Sorry, I have no enthusiasm for this patch; but do I feel strongly : enough to override you and everyone else to NAK it? No, I don't feel : that strongly, maybe st_blksize isn't worth arguing over. : : We did look at struct stat when designing huge tmpfs, to see if there : were any fields that should be adjusted for it; but concluded none. : Yes, it would sometimes be nice to have a quickly accessible indicator : for when tmpfs has been mounted huge (scanning /proc/mounts for options : can be tiresome, agreed); but since tmpfs tries to supply huge (or not) : pages transparently, no difference seemed right. : : So, because st_blksize is a not very useful field of struct stat, with : "size" in the name, we're going to put HPAGE_PMD_SIZE in there instead : of PAGE_SIZE, if the tmpfs was mounted with one of the huge "huge" : options (force or always, okay; within_size or advise, not so much). : Though HPAGE_PMD_SIZE is no more its "preferred I/O size" or "blocksize : for file system I/O" than PAGE_SIZE was. : : Which we can expect to speed up some applications and disadvantage : others, depending on how they interpret st_blksize: just like if we : changed it in the same way on non-huge tmpfs.

Client can call vunmap with some intermediate 'addr' which may not be the start of the VM area. Entire unmap code works with vm->vm_start which is proper but debug object API is called with 'addr'. This could be a problem within debug objects. Pass proper start address into debug object API.

Currently, __vunmap flow is, 1) Release the VM area 2) Free the debug objects corresponding to that vm area. This leave some race window open. 1) Release the VM area 1.5) Some other client gets the same vm area 1.6) This client allocates new debug objects on the same vm area 2) Free the debug objects corresponding to this vm area. Here, we actually free 'other' client's debug objects. Fix this by freeing the debug objects first and then releasing the VM area.
