This is required for CRIU (Checkpoint Restart In Userspace) to migrate a
mount point when write end in user space is closed.
Below is a brief description of the problem.
To migrate a non-catatonic autofs mount point, one has to restore the
control pipe between kernel and autofs master process.
One of the autofs masters is systemd, which closes pipe write end after
passing it to the kernel with mount call.
To be able to restore the systemd control pipe one has to know which
read pipe end in systemd corresponds to the write pipe end in the
kernel. The pipe "fd" in mount options is not enough because it was
closed and probably replaced by some other descriptor.
Thus, some other attribute is required to be able to find the read pipe
end. The best attribute to use to find the correct pipe end is inode
number becuase it's unique for the whole system and can't be reused
while the autofs mount exists.
This attribute can also be used to recognize a situation where an autofs
mount has no master (no process with specified "pgrp" or no file
descriptor with "pipe_ino", specified in autofs mount options).

kallsyms: add support for relative offsets in kallsyms address table
Similar to how relative extables are implemented, it is possible to emit
the kallsyms table in such a way that it contains offsets relative to
some anchor point in the kernel image rather than absolute addresses.
On 64-bit architectures, it cuts the size of the kallsyms address table
in half, since offsets between kernel symbols can typically be expressed
in 32 bits. This saves several hundreds of kilobytes of permanent
.rodata on average. In addition, the kallsyms address table is no
longer subject to dynamic relocation when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is in
effect, so the relocation work done after decompression now doesn't have
to do relocation updates for all these values. This saves up to 24
bytes (i.e., the size of a ELF64 RELA relocation table entry) per value,
which easily adds up to a couple of megabytes of uncompressed __init
data on ppc64 or arm64. Even if these relocation entries typically
compress well, the combined size reduction of 2.8 MB uncompressed for a
ppc64_defconfig build (of which 2.4 MB is __init data) results in a ~500
KB space saving in the compressed image.
Since it is useful for some architectures (like x86) to retain the
ability to emit absolute values as well, this patch also adds support
for capturing both absolute and relative values when
KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU is in effect, by emitting absolute per-cpu
addresses as positive 32-bit values, and addresses relative to the
lowest encountered relative symbol as negative values, which are
subtracted from the runtime address of this base symbol to produce the
actual address.

kallsyms: don't overload absolute symbol type for percpu symbols
Commit c6bda7c988a5 ("kallsyms: fix percpu vars on x86-64 with
relocation") overloaded the 'A' (absolute) symbol type to signify that a
symbol is not subject to dynamic relocation. However, the original A
type does not imply that at all, and depending on the version of the
toolchain, many A type symbols are emitted that are in fact relative to
the kernel text, i.e., if the kernel is relocated at runtime, these
symbols should be updated as well.
For instance, on sparc32, the following symbols are emitted as absolute
(kindly provided by Guenter Roeck):
Even if only a couple of them pass the symbol range check that results
in them to be taken into account for the final kallsyms symbol table, it
is obvious that 'A' does not mean the symbol does not need to be updated
at relocation time, and overloading its meaning to signify that is
perhaps not a good idea.
So instead, add a new percpu_absolute member to struct sym_entry, and
when --absolute-percpu is in effect, use it to record symbols whose
addresses should be emitted as final values rather than values that
still require relocation at runtime. That way, we can drop the check
against the 'A' type.

mm/compaction: speed up pageblock_pfn_to_page() when zone is contiguous
There is a performance drop report due to hugepage allocation and in
there half of cpu time are spent on pageblock_pfn_to_page() in
compaction [1].
In that workload, compaction is triggered to make hugepage but most of
pageblocks are un-available for compaction due to pageblock type and
skip bit so compaction usually fails. Most costly operations in this
case is to find valid pageblock while scanning whole zone range. To
check if pageblock is valid to compact, valid pfn within pageblock is
required and we can obtain it by calling pageblock_pfn_to_page(). This
function checks whether pageblock is in a single zone and return valid
pfn if possible. Problem is that we need to check it every time before
scanning pageblock even if we re-visit it and this turns out to be very
expensive in this workload.
Although we have no way to skip this pageblock check in the system where
hole exists at arbitrary position, we can use cached value for zone
continuity and just do pfn_to_page() in the system where hole doesn't
exist. This optimization considerably speeds up in above workload.

we set them to zone_end_pfn because freepage scanner works in reverse

not store it to free_pfn and compact_cached_free_pfn. Instead, we need

Changing a page's memcg association complicates dealing with the page,

charge a replacement page, and then uncharge the old page when it gets
freed. Temporarily overcharging the cgroup by a single page is not an
issue in practice, and charging is so cheap nowadays that this is much
preferrable to the headache of messing with live pages.
The only place that still changes the page->mem_cgroup binding of live
pages is when pages move along with a task to another cgroup. But that
path isolates the page from the LRU, takes the page lock, and the move
lock (lock_page_memcg()). That means page->mem_cgroup is always stable
in callers that have the page isolated from the LRU or locked. Lighter
unlocked paths, like writeback accounting, can use lock_page_memcg().

For per-cgroup thrash detection, we need to store the memcg ID inside

enough bits for the eviction timestamp to cover the necessary range of
recently evicted pages. The radix tree entry would look like this:
12 bits means 4096 pages, means 16M worth of recently evicted pages.
But refaults are actionable up to distances covering half of memory. To
not miss refaults, we have to stretch out the range at the cost of how
precisely we can tell when a page was evicted. This way we can shave
off lower bits from the eviction timestamp until the necessary range is
covered. E.g. grouping evictions into 1M buckets (256 pages) will
stretch the longest representable refault distance to 4G.
This patch implements eviction buckets that are automatically sized
according to the available bits and the necessary refault range, in
preparation for per-cgroup thrash detection.
The maximum actionable distance is currently half of memory, but to
support memory hotplug of up to 200% of boot-time memory, we size the
buckets to cover double the distance. Beyond that, thrashing won't be
detectable anymore.
During boot, the kernel will print out the exact parameters, like so:
In this example, there are 12 radix entry bits available for the
eviction timestamp, to cover a maximum distance of 2^18 pages (this is a
1G machine). Consequently, evictions must be grouped into buckets of
2^6 pages, or 256K.

mm, page_owner: print migratetype of page and pageblock, symbolic flags
The information in /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner includes the migratetype
of the pageblock the page belongs to. This is also checked against the
page's migratetype (as declared by gfp_flags during its allocation), and
the page is reported as Fallback if its migratetype differs from the
pageblock's one. t This is somewhat misleading because in fact fallback
allocation is not the only reason why these two can differ. It also
doesn't direcly provide the page's migratetype, although it's possible
to derive that from the gfp_flags.
It's arguably better to print both page and pageblock's migratetype and
leave the interpretation to the consumer than to suggest fallback
allocation as the only possible reason. While at it, we can print the
migratetypes as string the same way as /proc/pagetypeinfo does, as some
of the numeric values depend on kernel configuration. For that, this
patch moves the migratetype_names array from #ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS part
of mm/vmstat.c to mm/page_alloc.c and exports it.

page and gfp flags in the /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner file. This

required the user to remember the letters.

for debugging purposes, or exported to userspace via sysfs. To make
them easier to interpret independently on kernel version and config, we

with repeated calls to pr_cont(), which is unreliable on SMP, and not
usable for e.g. sysfs export.

It would be possible to pass flags by value instead of pointer, but the
%p format string for pointers already has extensions for various kernel

non-critical path is negligible.

mm, tracing: unify mm flags handling in tracepoints and printk
In tracepoints, it's possible to print gfp flags in a human-friendly
format through a macro show_gfp_flags(), which defines a translation
array and passes is to __print_flags(). Since the following patch will
introduce support for gfp flags printing in printk(), it would be nice
to reuse the array. This is not straightforward, since __print_flags()
can't simply reference an array defined in a .c file such as mm/debug.c
- it has to be a macro to allow the macro magic to communicate the
format to userspace tools such as trace-cmd.
The solution is to create a macro __def_gfpflag_names which is used both
in show_gfp_flags(), and to define the gfpflag_names[] array in
mm/debug.c.
On the other hand, mm/debug.c also defines translation tables for page
flags and vma flags, and desire was expressed (but not implemented in
this series) to use these also from tracepoints. Thus, this patch also
renames the events/gfpflags.h file to events/mmflags.h and moves the
table definitions there, using the same macro approach as for gfpflags.

mm: filemap: avoid unnecessary calls to lock_page when waiting for IO to complete during a read
In the generic read paths the kernel looks up a page in the page cache
and if it's up to date, it is used. If not, the page lock is acquired
to wait for IO to complete and then check the page. If multiple
processes are waiting on IO, they all serialise against the lock and
duplicate the checks. This is unnecessary.
The page lock in itself does not give any guarantees to the callers
about the page state as it can be immediately truncated or reclaimed
after the page is unlocked. It's sufficient to wait_on_page_locked and
then continue if the page is up to date on wakeup.
It is possible that a truncated but up-to-date page is returned but the
reference taken during read prevents it disappearing underneath the
caller and the data is still valid if PageUptodate.
The overall impact is small as even if processes serialise on the lock,
the lock section is tiny once the IO is complete. Profiles indicated
that unlock_page and friends are generally a tiny portion of a
read-intensive workload. An artificial test was created that had
instances of dd access a cache-cold file on an ext4 filesystem and
measure how long the read took.

mm/slub: support left redzone
SLUB already has a redzone debugging feature. But it is only positioned
at the end of object (aka right redzone) so it cannot catch left oob.
Although current object's right redzone acts as left redzone of next
object, first object in a slab cannot take advantage of this effect.
This patch explicitly adds a left red zone to each object to detect left
oob more precisely.
Background:
Someone complained to me that left OOB doesn't catch even if KASAN is
enabled which does page allocation debugging. That page is out of our
control so it would be allocated when left OOB happens and, in this
case, we can't find OOB. Moreover, SLUB debugging feature can be
enabled without page allocator debugging and, in this case, we will miss
that OOB.
Before trying to implement, I expected that changes would be too
complex, but, it doesn't look that complex to me now. Almost changes
are applied to debug specific functions so I feel okay.

consistency checks. With hackbench -g 20 -l 1000 averaged over 100

is spent in deactivate_slab. I haven't looked too closely to see if this
is something that can be optimized. My plan for now is to focus on
getting all of this merged (if appropriate) before digging in to another
task.
This patch (of 4):
Currently, free_debug_processing has a comment "Keep node_lock to preserve
integrity until the object is actually freed". In actuallity, the lock is
dropped immediately in __slab_free. Rather than wait until __slab_free
and potentially throw off the unlikely marking, just drop the lock in
__slab_free. This also lets free_debug_processing take its own copy of
the spinlock flags rather than trying to share the ones from __slab_free.
Since there is no use for the node afterwards, change the return type of
free_debug_processing to return an int like alloc_debug_processing.

mm/slab: re-implement pfmemalloc support
Current implementation of pfmemalloc handling in SLAB has some problems.
1) pfmemalloc_active is set to true when there is just one or more
pfmemalloc slabs in the system, but it is cleared when there is no
pfmemalloc slab in one arbitrary kmem_cache. So, pfmemalloc_active
could be wrongly cleared.
2) Search to partial and free list doesn't happen when non-pfmemalloc
object are not found in cpu cache. Instead, allocating new slab
happens and it is not optimal.
3) Even after sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled, cpu cache would keep
pfmemalloc objects tagged with SLAB_OBJ_PFMEMALLOC. It isn't cleared
if sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled so it could cause problem.
4) If cpu cache is filled with pfmemalloc objects, it would cause slow
down non-pfmemalloc allocation.
To me, current pointer tagging approach looks complex and fragile so this
patch re-implement whole thing instead of fixing problems one by one.
Design principle for new implementation is that
1) Don't disrupt non-pfmemalloc allocation in fast path even if
sk_memalloc_socks() is enabled. It's more likely case than pfmemalloc
allocation.
2) Ensure that pfmemalloc slab is used only for pfmemalloc allocation.
3) Don't consider performance of pfmemalloc allocation in memory
deficiency state.
As a result, all pfmemalloc alloc/free in memory tight state will be
handled in slow-path. If there is non-pfmemalloc free object, it will be
returned first even for pfmemalloc user in fast-path so that performance
of pfmemalloc user isn't affected in normal case and pfmemalloc objects
will be kept as long as possible.

mm/slab: introduce new slab management type, OBJFREELIST_SLAB
SLAB needs an array to manage freed objects in a slab. It is only used
if some objects are freed so we can use free object itself as this
array. This requires additional branch in somewhat critical lock path
to check if it is first freed object or not but that's all we need.
Benefits is that we can save extra memory usage and reduce some
computational overhead by allocating a management array when new slab is
created.
Code change is rather complex than what we can expect from the idea, in
order to handle debugging feature efficiently. If you want to see core
idea only, please remove '#if DEBUG' block in the patch.
Although this idea can apply to all caches whose size is larger than
management array size, it isn't applied to caches which have a
constructor. If such cache's object is used for management array,
constructor should be called for it before that object is returned to
user. I guess that overhead overwhelm benefit in that case so this idea
doesn't applied to them at least now.
For summary, from now on, slab management type is determined by
following logic.
1) if management array size is smaller than object size and no ctor, it
becomes OBJFREELIST_SLAB.
2) if management array size is smaller than leftover, it becomes
NORMAL_SLAB which uses leftover as a array.
3) if OFF_SLAB help to save memory than way 4), it becomes OFF_SLAB.
It allocate a management array from the other cache so memory waste
happens.
4) others become NORMAL_SLAB. It uses dedicated internal memory in a
slab as a management array so it causes memory waste.
In my system, without enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, Almost caches become
OBJFREELIST_SLAB and NORMAL_SLAB (using leftover) which doesn't waste
memory. Following is the result of number of caches with specific slab
management type.
TOTAL = OBJFREELIST + NORMAL(leftover) + NORMAL + OFF
/Before/
126 = 0 + 60 + 25 + 41
/After/
126 = 97 + 12 + 15 + 2
Result shows that number of caches that doesn't waste memory increase
from 60 to 109.
I did some benchmarking and it looks that benefit are more than loss.
In fact, I tested another idea implementing OBJFREELIST_SLAB with
extendable linked array through another freed object. It can remove
memory waste completely but it causes more computational overhead in
critical lock path and it seems that overhead outweigh benefit. So, this
patch doesn't include it.

mm/slab: put the freelist at the end of slab page
Currently, the freelist is at the front of slab page. This requires
extra space to meet object alignment requirement. If we put the
freelist at the end of a slab page, objects could start at page boundary
and will be at correct alignment. This is possible because freelist has
no alignment constraint itself.
This gives us two benefits: It removes extra memory space for the
freelist alignment and remove complex calculation at cache
initialization step. I can't think notable drawback here.
I mentioned that this would reduce extra memory space, but, this benefit
is rather theoretical because it can be applied to very few cases.
Following is the example cache type that can get benefit from this
change.
