Now that "struct proc_ops" exist we can start putting there stuff which could not fly with VFS "struct file_operations"... Most of fs/proc/inode.c file is dedicated to make open/read/.../close reliable in the event of disappearing /proc entries which usually happens if module is getting removed. Files like /proc/cpuinfo which never disappear simply do not need such protection. Save 2 atomic ops, 1 allocation, 1 free per open/read/close sequence for such "permanent" files. Enable "permanent" flag for /proc/cpuinfo /proc/kmsg /proc/modules /proc/slabinfo /proc/stat /proc/sysvipc/* /proc/swaps More will come once I figure out foolproof way to prevent out module authors from marking their stuff "permanent" for performance reasons when it is not. This should help with scalability: benchmark is "read /proc/cpuinfo R times by N threads scattered over the system".

Previously there was a check if 'size' is aligned to 'align' and if not then it was aligned. This check was expensive as both branch and division are expensive instructions in most architectures. 'ALIGN' function on already aligned value will not change it, and as it is cheaper than branch + division it can be executed all the time and branch can be removed. Signed-off-by:

If CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE is defined, but neither CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE nor CONFIG_MIGRATION, then non_swap_entry() will return 0, meaning that the condition (non_swap_entry(entry) && is_device_private_entry(entry)) in zap_pte_range() will never be true even if the entry is a device private one. Equally any other code depending on non_swap_entry() will not function as expected. I originally spotted this just by looking at the code, I haven't actually observed any problems. Looking a bit more closely it appears that actually this situation (currently at least) cannot occur: DEVICE_PRIVATE depends on ZONE_DEVICE ZONE_DEVICE depends on MEMORY_HOTREMOVE MEMORY_HOTREMOVE depends on MIGRATION Fixes: 5042db43 ("mm/ZONE_DEVICE: new type of ZONE_DEVICE for unaddressable memory") Signed-off-by:

The compressed cache for swap pages (zswap) currently needs from 1 to 3 extra kernel command line parameters in order to make it work: it has to be enabled by adding a "zswap.enabled=1" command line parameter and if one wants a different compressor or pool allocator than the default lzo / zbud combination then these choices also need to be specified on the kernel command line in additional parameters. Using a different compressor and allocator for zswap is actually pretty common as guides often recommend using the lz4 / z3fold pair instead of the default one. In such case it is also necessary to remember to enable the appropriate compression algorithm and pool allocator in the kernel config manually. Let's avoid the need for adding these kernel command line parameters and automatically pull in the dependencies for the selected compressor algorithm and pool allocator by adding an appropriate default switches to Kconfig. The default values for these options match what the code was using previously as its defaults. Signed-off-by:

Yang Shi writes: Currently, when truncating a shmem file, if the range is partly in a THP (start or end is in the middle of THP), the pages actually will just get cleared rather than being freed, unless the range covers the whole THP. Even though all the subpages are truncated (randomly or sequentially), the THP may still be kept in page cache. This might be fine for some usecases which prefer preserving THP, but balloon inflation is handled in base page size. So when using shmem THP as memory backend, QEMU inflation actually doesn't work as expected since it doesn't free memory. But the inflation usecase really needs to get the memory freed. (Anonymous THP will also not get freed right away, but will be freed eventually when all subpages are unmapped: whereas shmem THP still stays in page cache.) Split THP right away when doing partial hole punch, and if split fails just clear the page so that read of the punched area will return zeroes. Hugh Dickins adds: Our earlier "team of pages" huge tmpfs implementation worked in the way that Yang Shi proposes; and we have been using this patch to continue to split the huge page when hole-punched or truncated, since converting over to the compound page implementation. Although huge tmpfs gives out huge pages when available, if the user specifically asks to truncate or punch a hole (perhaps to free memory, perhaps to reduce the memcg charge), then the filesystem should do so as best it can, splitting the huge page. That is not always possible: any additional reference to the huge page prevents split_huge_page() from succeeding, so the result can be flaky. But in practice it works successfully enough that we've not seen any problem from that. Add shmem_punch_compound() to encapsulate the decision of when a split is needed, and doing the split if so. Using this simplifies the flow in shmem_undo_range(); and the first (trylock) pass does not need to do any page clearing on failure, because the second pass will either succeed or do that clearing. Following the example of zero_user_segment() when clearing a partial page, add flush_dcache_page() and set_page_dirty() when clearing a hole - though I'm not certain that either is needed. But: split_huge_page() would be sure to fail if shmem_undo_range()'s pagevec holds further references to the huge page. The easiest way to fix that is for find_get_entries() to return early, as soon as it has put one compound head or tail into the pagevec. At first this felt like a hack; but on examination, this convention better suits all its callers - or will do, if the slight one-page-per-pagevec slowdown in shmem_unlock_mapping() and shmem_seek_hole_data() is transformed into a 512-page-per-pagevec speedup by checking for compound pages there.

Variables declared in a switch statement before any case statements cannot be automatically initialized with compiler instrumentation (as they are not part of any execution flow). With GCC's proposed automatic stack variable initialization feature, this triggers a warning (and they don't get initialized). Clang's automatic stack variable initialization (via CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL=y) doesn't throw a warning, but it also doesn't initialize such variables[1]. Note that these warnings (or silent skipping) happen before the dead-store elimination optimization phase, so even when the automatic initializations are later elided in favor of direct initializations, the warnings remain. To avoid these problems, move such variables into the "case" where they're used or lift them up into the main function body. mm/shmem.c: In function `shmem_getpage_gfp': mm/shmem.c:1816:10: warning: statement will never be executed [-Wswitch-unreachable] 1816 | loff_t i_size; | ^~~~~~ [1] https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44916Signed-off-by:Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by:

For now, distributions implement advanced udev rules to essentially - Don't online any hotplugged memory (s390x) - Online all memory to ZONE_NORMAL (e.g., most virt environments like hyperv) - Online all memory to ZONE_MOVABLE in case the zone imbalance is taken care of (e.g., bare metal, special virt environments) In summary: All memory is usually onlined the same way, however, the kernel always has to ask user space to come up with the same answer. E.g., Hyper-V always waits for a memory block to get onlined before continuing, otherwise it might end up adding memory faster than onlining it, which can result in strange OOM situations. This waiting slows down adding of a bigger amount of memory. Let's allow to specify a default online_type, not just "online" and "offline". This allows distributions to configure the default online_type when booting up and be done with it. We can now specify "offline", "online", "online_movable" and "online_kernel" via - "memhp_default_state=" on the kernel cmdline - /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks just like we are able to specify for a single memory block via /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/state Signed-off-by:

We get the MEM_ONLINE notifier call if memory is added right from the kernel via add_memory() or later from user space. Let's get rid of the "ha_waiting" flag - the wait event has an inbuilt mechanism (->done) for that. Initialize the wait event only once and reinitialize before adding memory. Unconditionally call complete() and wait_for_completion_timeout(). If there are no waiters, complete() will only increment ->done - which will be reset by reinit_completion(). If complete() has already been called, wait_for_completion_timeout() will not wait. There is still the chance for a small race between concurrent reinit_completion() and complete(). If complete() wins, we would not wait - which is tolerable (and the race exists in current code as well). Note: We only wait for "some" memory to get onlined, which seems to be good enough for now.

Let's always try to online the re-added memory blocks. In case add_memory() already onlined the added memory blocks, the first device_online() call will fail and stop processing the remaining memory blocks. This avoids manually having to check memhp_auto_online. Note: PPC always onlines all hotplugged memory directly from the kernel as well - something that is handled by user space on other architectures. Signed-off-by:

Historically, we used the value -1. Just treat 0 as the special case now. Clarify a comment (which was wrong, when we come via device_online() the first time, the online_type would have been 0 / MEM_ONLINE). The default is now always MMOP_OFFLINE. This removes the last user of the manual "-1", which didn't use the enum value. This is a preparation to use the online_type as an array index. Signed-off-by:

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: allow to specify a default online_type", v3. Distributions nowadays use udev rules ([1] [2]) to specify if and how to online hotplugged memory. The rules seem to get more complex with many special cases. Due to the various special cases, CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE cannot be used. All memory hotplug is handled via udev rules. Every time we hotplug memory, the udev rule will come to the same conclusion. Especially Hyper-V (but also soon virtio-mem) add a lot of memory in separate memory blocks and wait for memory to get onlined by user space before continuing to add more memory blocks (to not add memory faster than it is getting onlined). This of course slows down the whole memory hotplug process. To make the job of distributions easier and to avoid udev rules that get more and more complicated, let's extend the mechanism provided by - /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks - "memhp_default_state=" on the kernel cmdline to be able to specify also "online_movable" as well as "online_kernel" === Example /usr/libexec/config-memhotplug === #!/bin/bash VIRT=`systemd-detect-virt --vm` ARCH=`uname -p` sense_virtio_mem() { if [ -d "/sys/bus/virtio/drivers/virtio_mem/" ]; then DEVICES=`find /sys/bus/virtio/drivers/virtio_mem/ -maxdepth 1 -type l | wc -l` if [ $DEVICES != "0" ]; then return 0 fi fi return 1 } if [ ! -e "/sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks" ]; then echo "Memory hotplug configuration support missing in the kernel" exit 1 fi if grep "memhp_default_state=" /proc/cmdline > /dev/null; then echo "Memory hotplug configuration overridden in kernel cmdline (memhp_default_state=)" exit 1 fi if [ $VIRT == "microsoft" ]; then echo "Detected Hyper-V on $ARCH" # Hyper-V wants all memory in ZONE_NORMAL ONLINE_TYPE="online_kernel" elif sense_virtio_mem; then echo "Detected virtio-mem on $ARCH" # virtio-mem wants all memory in ZONE_NORMAL ONLINE_TYPE="online_kernel" elif [ $ARCH == "s390x" ] || [ $ARCH == "s390" ]; then echo "Detected $ARCH" # standby memory should not be onlined automatically ONLINE_TYPE="offline" elif [ $ARCH == "ppc64" ] || [ $ARCH == "ppc64le" ]; then echo "Detected" $ARCH # PPC64 onlines all hotplugged memory right from the kernel ONLINE_TYPE="offline" elif [ $VIRT == "none" ]; then echo "Detected bare-metal on $ARCH" # Bare metal users expect hotplugged memory to be unpluggable.

Currently, to support subsection aligned memory region adding for pmem, subsection map is added to track which subsection is present. However, config ZONE_DEVICE depends on SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. It means subsection map only makes sense when SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP enabled. For the classic sparse, it's meaningless. Even worse, it may confuse people when checking code related to the classic sparse. About the classic sparse which doesn't support subsection hotplug, Dan said it's more because the effort and maintenance burden outweighs the benefit. Besides, the current 64 bit ARCHes all enable SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_ENABLE by default. Combining the above reasons, no need to provide subsection map and the relevant handling for the classic sparse.
