mm: remove zap_page_range and create zap_vma_pages
zap_page_range was originally designed to unmap pages within an address
range that could span multiple vmas. While working on [1], it was
discovered that all callers of zap_page_range pass a range entirely within
a single vma. In addition, the mmu notification call within zap_page
range does not correctly handle ranges that span multiple vmas. When
crossing a vma boundary, a new mmu_notifier_range_init/end call pair with
the new vma should be made.
Instead of fixing zap_page_range, do the following:
- Create a new routine zap_vma_pages() that will remove all pages within
the passed vma. Most users of zap_page_range pass the entire vma and
can use this new routine.
- For callers of zap_page_range not passing the entire vma, instead call
zap_page_range_single().
- Remove zap_page_range.

selftests/vm: cow: add COW tests for collapsing of PTE-mapped anon THP
Currently, anonymous PTE-mapped THPs cannot be collapsed in-place:
collapsing (e.g., via MADV_COLLAPSE) implies allocating a fresh THP and
mapping that new THP via a PMD: as it's a fresh anon THP, it will get the
exclusive flag set on the head page and everybody is happy.
However, if the kernel would ever support in-place collapse of anonymous
THPs (replacing a page table mapping each sub-page of a THP via PTEs with
a single PMD mapping the complete THP), exclusivity information stored for
each sub-page would have to be collapsed accordingly:
(1) All PTEs map !exclusive anon sub-pages: the in-place collapsed THP
must not not have the exclusive flag set on the head page mapped by
the PMD. This is the easiest case to handle ("simply don't set any
exclusive flags").
(2) All PTEs map exclusive anon sub-pages: when collapsing, we have to
clear the exclusive flag from all tail pages and only leave the
exclusive flag set for the head page. Otherwise, fork() after
collapse would not clear the exclusive flags from the tail pages
and we'd be in trouble once PTE-mapping the shared THP when writing
to shared tail pages that still have the exclusive flag set. This
would effectively revert what the PTE-mapping code does when
propagating the exclusive flag to all sub-pages.
(3) PTEs map a mixture of exclusive and !exclusive anon sub-pages (can
happen e.g., due to MADV_DONTFORK before fork()). We must not
collapse the THP in-place, otherwise bad things may happen:
the exclusive flags of sub-pages would get ignored and the
exclusive flag of the head page would get used instead.
Now that we have MADV_COLLAPSE in place to trigger collapsing a THP, let's
add some test cases that would bail out early, if we'd
voluntarily/accidantially unlock in-place collapse for anon THPs and
forget about taking proper care of exclusive flags.
Running the test on a kernel with MADV_COLLAPSE support:
# [INFO] Anonymous THP tests
# [RUN] Basic COW after fork() when collapsing before fork()
ok 169 No leak from parent into child
# [RUN] Basic COW after fork() when collapsing after fork() (fully shared)
ok 170 # SKIP MADV_COLLAPSE failed: Invalid argument
# [RUN] Basic COW after fork() when collapsing after fork() (lower shared)
ok 171 No leak from parent into child
# [RUN] Basic COW after fork() when collapsing after fork() (upper shared)
ok 172 No leak from parent into child
For now, MADV_COLLAPSE always seems to fail if all PTEs map shared
sub-pages.

workingset: fix confusion around eviction vs refault container
Refault decisions are made based on the lruvec where the page was evicted,
as that determined its LRU order while it was alive. Stats and workingset
aging must then occur on the lruvec of the new page, as that's the node
and cgroup that experience the refault and that's the lruvec whose
nonresident info ages out by a new resident page. Those lruvecs could be
different when a page is shared between cgroups, or the refaulting page is
allocated on a different node.
There are currently two mix-ups:
1. When swap is available, the resident anon set must be considered
when comparing the refault distance. The comparison is made against
the right anon set, but the check for swap is not. When pages get
evicted from a cgroup with swap, and refault in one without, this
can incorrectly consider a hot refault as cold - and vice
versa. Fix that by using the eviction cgroup for the swap check.
2. The stats and workingset age are updated against the wrong lruvec
altogether: the right cgroup but the wrong NUMA node. When a page
refaults on a different NUMA node, this will have confusing stats
and distort the workingset age on a different lruvec - again
possibly resulting in hot/cold misclassifications down the line.
Fix the swap check and the refault pgdat to address both concerns.
This was found during code review. It hasn't caused notable issues in
production, suggesting that those refault-migrations are relatively rare
in practice.

Before this patch, when there's any pgtable allocation issues happened
during change_protection(), the error will be ignored from the syscall.
For shmem, there will be an error dumped into the host dmesg. Two issues
with that:
(1) Doing a trace dump when allocation fails is not anything close to
grace.
(2) The user should be notified with any kind of such error, so the user
can trap it and decide what to do next, either by retrying, or stop
the process properly, or anything else.
For userfault users, this will change the API of UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT when
pgtable allocation failure happened. It should not normally break anyone,
though. If it breaks, then in good ways.
One man-page update will be on the way to introduce the new -ENOMEM for
UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT. Not marking stable so we keep the old behavior on

mm/mprotect: use long for page accountings and retval
Switch to use type "long" for page accountings and retval across the whole

The change should have shrinked the possible maximum page number to be

any system either because the maximum possible pages touched by change
protection should be ULONG_MAX / PAGE_SIZE.
Two reasons to switch from "unsigned long" to "long":
1. It suites better on count_vm_numa_events(), whose 2nd parameter takes
a long type.
2. It paves way for returning negative (error) values in the future.
Currently the only caller that consumes this retval is change_prot_numa(),
where the unsigned long was converted to an int. Since at it, touching up

mm/page_reporting: replace rcu_access_pointer() with rcu_dereference_protected()
Page reporting fetches pr_dev_info using rcu_access_pointer(), which is
for safely fetching a pointer that will not be dereferenced but could
concurrently updated. The code indeed does not dereference pr_dev_info
after fetching it using rcu_access_pointer(), but it fetches the pointer
while concurrent updates to the pointer is avoided by holding the update
side lock, page_reporting_mutex.
In the case, rcu_dereference_protected() should be used instead because it
provides better readability and performance on some cases, as
rcu_dereference_protected() avoids use of READ_ONCE(). Replace the
rcu_access_pointer() calls with rcu_dereference_protected().

mm/mprotect: drop pgprot_t parameter from change_protection()
Being able to provide a custom protection opens the door for
inconsistencies and BUGs: for example, accidentally allowing for more
permissions than desired by other mechanisms (e.g., softdirty tracking).
vma->vm_page_prot should be the single source of truth.
Only PROT_NUMA is special: there is no way we can erroneously allow
for more permissions when removing all permissions. Special-case using
the MM_CP_PROT_NUMA flag.
mm/userfaultfd: rely on vma->vm_page_prot in uffd_wp_range()
Patch series "mm: uffd-wp + change_protection() cleanups".
Cleanup page protection handling in uffd-wp when calling
change_protection() and improve unprotecting uffd=wp in private mappings,
trying to set PTEs writable again if possible just like we do during
mprotect() when upgrading write permissions. Make the change_protection()
interface harder to get wrong :)
I consider both pages primarily cleanups, although patch #1 fixes a corner
case with uffd-wp and softdirty tracking for shmem. @Peter, please let me
know if we should flag patch #1 as pure cleanup -- I have no idea how
important softdirty tracking on shmem is.
This patch (of 2):
uffd_wp_range() currently calculates page protection manually using
vm_get_page_prot(). This will ignore any other reason for active
writenotify: one mechanism applicable to shmem is softdirty tracking.
For example, the following sequence
1) Write to mapped shmem page
2) Clear softdirty
3) Register uffd-wp covering the mapped page
4) Unregister uffd-wp covering the mapped page
5) Write to page again
will not set the modified page softdirty, because uffd_wp_range() will
ignore that writenotify is required for softdirty tracking and simply map
the page writable again using change_protection(). Similarly, instead of
unregistering, protecting followed by un-protecting the page using uffd-wp
would result in the same situation.
Now that we enable writenotify whenever enabling uffd-wp on a VMA,
vma->vm_page_prot will already properly reflect our requirements: the
default is to write-protect all PTEs. However, for shared mappings we
would now not remap the PTEs writable if possible when unprotecting, just
like for private mappings (COW). To compensate, set
MM_CP_TRY_CHANGE_WRITABLE just like mprotect() does to try mapping
individual PTEs writable.
For private mappings, this change implies that we will now always try
setting PTEs writable when un-protecting, just like when upgrading write
permissions using mprotect(), which is an improvement.
For shared mappings, we will only set PTEs writable if
can_change_pte_writable()/can_change_pmd_writable() indicates that it's
ok. For ordinary shmem, this will be the case when PTEs are dirty, which
should usually be the case -- otherwise we could special-case shmem in
can_change_pte_writable()/can_change_pmd_writable() easily, because shmem
itself doesn't require writenotify.
Note that hugetlb does not yet implement MM_CP_TRY_CHANGE_WRITABLE, so we
won't try setting PTEs writable when unprotecting or when unregistering
uffd-wp. This can be added later on top by implementing
MM_CP_TRY_CHANGE_WRITABLE.
While commit ffd05793963a ("userfaultfd: wp: support write protection for
userfault vma range") introduced that code, it should only be applicable
to uffd-wp on shared mappings -- shmem (hugetlb does not support softdirty
tracking). I don't think this corner cases justifies to cc stable. Let's
just handle it correctly and prepare for change_protection() cleanups.

mm: multi-gen LRU: per-node lru_gen_folio lists
For each node, memcgs are divided into two generations: the old and
the young. For each generation, memcgs are randomly sharded into
multiple bins to improve scalability. For each bin, an RCU hlist_nulls
is virtually divided into three segments: the head, the tail and the
default.
An onlining memcg is added to the tail of a random bin in the old
generation. The eviction starts at the head of a random bin in the old
generation. The per-node memcg generation counter, whose reminder (mod
2) indexes the old generation, is incremented when all its bins become
empty.
There are four operations:
1. MEMCG_LRU_HEAD, which moves an memcg to the head of a random bin in
its current generation (old or young) and updates its "seg" to
"head";
2. MEMCG_LRU_TAIL, which moves an memcg to the tail of a random bin in
its current generation (old or young) and updates its "seg" to
"tail";
3. MEMCG_LRU_OLD, which moves an memcg to the head of a random bin in
the old generation, updates its "gen" to "old" and resets its "seg"
to "default";
4. MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG, which moves an memcg to the tail of a random bin
in the young generation, updates its "gen" to "young" and resets
its "seg" to "default".
The events that trigger the above operations are:
1. Exceeding the soft limit, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_HEAD;
2. The first attempt to reclaim an memcg below low, which triggers
MEMCG_LRU_TAIL;
3. The first attempt to reclaim an memcg below reclaimable size
threshold, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_TAIL;
4. The second attempt to reclaim an memcg below reclaimable size
threshold, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG;
5. Attempting to reclaim an memcg below min, which triggers
MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG;
6. Finishing the aging on the eviction path, which triggers
MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG;
7. Offlining an memcg, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_OLD.

round-robin incrementing of their max_seq counters ensures the
eventual fairness to all eligible memcgs. For memcg reclaim, it still

Recall that the aging produces the youngest generation: first it scans
for accessed folios and updates their gen counters; then it increments

ensure the fairness to multiple eligible memcgs. On the first pass,
which is shared with the eviction, it checks whether all eligible

which it ages all those memcgs at the same time.
With memcg LRU, the aging, while ensuring eventual fairness, will run
when necessary. Therefore the current aging fairness safeguard for
kswapd will not be needed.

dilemma: when there are multiple eligible memcgs, should it continue

and increases direct reclaim latency; if it stops, it loses fairness
between memcgs it has taken memory away from and those it has yet to.
With memcg LRU, the eviction, while ensuring eventual fairness, will
stop upon meeting its goal. Therefore the current eviction fairness

mm: multi-gen LRU: rename lru_gen_struct to lru_gen_folio
Patch series "mm: multi-gen LRU: memcg LRU", v3.
Overview
========
An memcg LRU is a per-node LRU of memcgs. It is also an LRU of LRUs,
since each node and memcg combination has an LRU of folios (see
mem_cgroup_lruvec()).
Its goal is to improve the scalability of global reclaim, which is
critical to system-wide memory overcommit in data centers. Note that
memcg reclaim is currently out of scope.
Its memory bloat is a pointer to each lruvec and negligible to each
pglist_data. In terms of traversing memcgs during global reclaim, it
improves the best-case complexity from O(n) to O(1) and does not affect
the worst-case complexity O(n). Therefore, on average, it has a sublinear
complexity in contrast to the current linear complexity.
The basic structure of an memcg LRU can be understood by an analogy to
the active/inactive LRU (of folios):
1. It has the young and the old (generations), i.e., the counterparts
to the active and the inactive;
2. The increment of max_seq triggers promotion, i.e., the counterpart
to activation;
3. Other events trigger similar operations, e.g., offlining an memcg
triggers demotion, i.e., the counterpart to deactivation.
In terms of global reclaim, it has two distinct features:
1. Sharding, which allows each thread to start at a random memcg (in
the old generation) and improves parallelism;
2. Eventual fairness, which allows direct reclaim to bail out at will
and reduces latency without affecting fairness over some time.
The commit message in patch 6 details the workflow:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221222041905.2431096-7-yuzhao@google.com/
The following is a simple test to quickly verify its effectiveness.
Test design:
1. Create multiple memcgs.
2. Each memcg contains a job (fio).
3. All jobs access the same amount of memory randomly.
4. The system does not experience global memory pressure.
5. Periodically write to the root memory.reclaim.
Desired outcome:
1. All memcgs have similar pgsteal counts, i.e., stddev(pgsteal)
over mean(pgsteal) is close to 0%.
2. The total pgsteal is close to the total requested through
memory.reclaim, i.e., sum(pgsteal) over sum(requested) is close
to 100%.
Actual outcome [1]:
MGLRU off MGLRU on
stddev(pgsteal) / mean(pgsteal) 75% 20%
sum(pgsteal) / sum(requested) 425% 95%

mm: vmalloc: avoid calling __find_vmap_area() twice in __vunmap()
Currently the __vunmap() path calls __find_vmap_area() twice. Once on
entry to check that the area exists, then inside the remove_vm_area()
function which also performs a new search for the VA.
In order to improvie it from a performance point of view we split
remove_vm_area() into two new parts:
- find_unlink_vmap_area() that does a search and unlink from tree;
- __remove_vm_area() that removes without searching.
In this case there is no any functional change for remove_vm_area()
whereas vm_remove_mappings(), where a second search happens, switches to
the __remove_vm_area() variant where the already detached VA is passed as
a parameter, so there is no need to find it again.
Performance wise, i use test_vmalloc.sh with 32 threads doing alloc
free on a 64-CPUs-x86_64-box:
__vunmap() consumes around ~20% less CPU cycles on this test.
Also, switch from find_vmap_area() to find_unlink_vmap_area() to prevent a
double access to the vmap_area_lock: one for finding area, second time is
for unlinking from a tree.

kasan: allow sampling page_alloc allocations for HW_TAGS
As Hardware Tag-Based KASAN is intended to be used in production, its
performance impact is crucial. As page_alloc allocations tend to be big,
tagging and checking all such allocations can introduce a significant
slowdown.
Add two new boot parameters that allow to alleviate that slowdown:
- kasan.page_alloc.sample, which makes Hardware Tag-Based KASAN tag only
every Nth page_alloc allocation with the order configured by the second
added parameter (default: tag every such allocation).
- kasan.page_alloc.sample.order, which makes sampling enabled by the first
parameter only affect page_alloc allocations with the order equal or
greater than the specified value (default: 3, see below).
The exact performance improvement caused by using the new parameters
depends on their values and the applied workload.
The chosen default value for kasan.page_alloc.sample.order is 3, which
matches both PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER and SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER. This is
done for two reasons:
1. PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER is "the order at which allocations are deemed
costly to service", which corresponds to the idea that only large and
thus costly allocations are supposed to sampled.
2. One of the workloads targeted by this patch is a benchmark that sends
a large amount of data over a local loopback connection. Most multi-page
data allocations in the networking subsystem have the order of
SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER (or PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER).
When running a local loopback test on a testing MTE-enabled device in sync
mode, enabling Hardware Tag-Based KASAN introduces a ~50% slowdown.
Applying this patch and setting kasan.page_alloc.sampling to a value
higher than 1 allows to lower the slowdown. The performance improvement
saturates around the sampling interval value of 10 with the default
sampling page order of 3. This lowers the slowdown to ~20%. The slowdown
in real scenarios involving the network will likely be better.
Enabling page_alloc sampling has a downside: KASAN misses bad accesses to
a page_alloc allocation that has not been tagged. This lowers the value
of KASAN as a security mitigation.
However, based on measuring the number of page_alloc allocations of
different orders during boot in a test build, sampling with the default
kasan.page_alloc.sample.order value affects only ~7% of allocations. The
rest ~93% of allocations are still checked deterministically.

swap: avoid holding swap reference in swap_cache_get_folio
All its callers either already hold a reference to, or lock the swap
device while calling this function. There is only one exception in
shmem_swapin_folio, just make this caller also hold a reference of the
swap device, so this helper can be simplified and saves a few cycles.
This also provides finer control of error handling in shmem_swapin_folio,
on race (with swap off), it can just try again. For invalid swap entry,
it can fail with a proper error code.

mm/damon/core: implement damos filter
Patch series "implement DAMOS filtering for anon pages and/or specific
memory cgroups"
DAMOS let users do system operations in a data access pattern oriented
way. The data access pattern, which is extracted by DAMON, is somewhat
accurate more than what user space could know in many cases. However, in
some situation, users could know something more than the kernel about the
pattern or some special requirements for some types of memory or
processes. For example, some users would have slow swap devices and knows
latency-ciritical processes and therefore want to use DAMON-based
proactive reclamation (DAMON_RECLAIM) for only non-anonymous pages of
non-latency-critical processes.
For such restriction, users could exclude the memory regions from the
initial monitoring regions and use non-dynamic monitoring regions update
monitoring operations set including fvaddr and paddr. They could also
adjust the DAMOS target access pattern. For dynamically changing memory
layout and access pattern, those would be not enough.
To help the case, add an interface, namely DAMOS filters, which can be
used to avoid the DAMOS actions be applied to specific types of memory, to
DAMON kernel API (damon.h). At the moment, it supports filtering
anonymous pages and/or specific memory cgroups in or out for each DAMOS
scheme.
This patchset adds the support for all DAMOS actions that 'paddr'
monitoring operations set supports ('pageout', 'lru_prio', and
'lru_deprio'), and the functionality is exposed via DAMON kernel API
(damon.h) the DAMON sysfs interface (/sys/kernel/mm/damon/admins/), and
DAMON_RECLAIM module parameters.

patch makes the physical address space monitoring operations set to
support the filters from all supporting DAMOS actions. Third patch adds
anonymous pages filter support to DAMON_RECLAIM, and the fourth patch

connects the file to use DAMOS filters feature. Ninth patch adds simple
self test cases for DAMOS filters of the sysfs interface. Finally,
following two patches (tenth and eleventh) document the new features and

mm: memcontrol: deprecate charge moving
Charge moving mode in cgroup1 allows memory to follow tasks as they
migrate between cgroups. This is, and always has been, a questionable
thing to do - for several reasons.
First, it's expensive. Pages need to be identified, locked and isolated
from various MM operations, and reassigned, one by one.
Second, it's unreliable. Once pages are charged to a cgroup, there isn't
always a clear owner task anymore. Cache isn't moved at all, for example.
Mapped memory is moved - but if trylocking or isolating a page fails,
it's arbitrarily left behind. Frequent moving between domains may leave a
task's memory scattered all over the place.
Third, it isn't really needed. Launcher tasks can kick off workload tasks
directly in their target cgroup. Using dedicated per-workload groups
allows fine-grained policy adjustments - no need to move tasks and their
physical pages between control domains. The feature was never
forward-ported to cgroup2, and it hasn't been missed.
Despite it being a niche usecase, the maintenance overhead of supporting
it is enormous. Because pages are moved while they are live and subject
to various MM operations, the synchronization rules are complicated.
There are lock_page_memcg() in MM and FS code, which non-cgroup people
don't understand. In some cases we've been able to shift code and cgroup
API calls around such that we can rely on native locking as much as
possible. But that's fragile, and sometimes we need to hold MM locks for
longer than we otherwise would (pte lock e.g.).
Mark the feature deprecated. Hopefully we can remove it soon.
And backport into -stable kernels so that people who develop against
earlier kernels are warned about this deprecation as early as possible.

mm: memcontrol: skip moving non-present pages that are mapped elsewhere
Patch series "mm: push down lock_page_memcg()", v2.
This patch (of 3):
During charge moving, the pte lock and the page lock cover nearly all
cases of stabilizing page_mapped(). The only exception is when we're
looking at a non-present pte and find a page in the page cache or in the
swapcache: if the page is mapped elsewhere, it can become unmapped outside
of our control. For this reason, rmap needs lock_page_memcg().
We don't like cgroup-specific locks in generic MM code - especially in
performance-critical MM code - and for a legacy feature that's unlikely to
have many users left - if any.
So remove the exception. Arguably that's better semantics anyway: the
page is shared, and another process seems to be the more active user.
Once we stop moving such pages, rmap doesn't need lock_page_memcg()
anymore. The next patch will remove it.

mm/hugetlb: introduce hugetlb_walk()
huge_pte_offset() is the main walker function for hugetlb pgtables. The
name is not really representing what it does, though.
Instead of renaming it, introduce a wrapper function called hugetlb_walk()
which will use huge_pte_offset() inside. Assert on the locks when walking
the pgtable.
Note, the vma lock assertion will be a no-op for private mappings.
Document the last special case in the page_vma_mapped_walk() path where we
don't need any more lock to call hugetlb_walk().
Taking vma lock there is not needed because either: (1) potential callers
of hugetlb pvmw holds i_mmap_rwsem already (from one rmap_walk()), or (2)
the caller will not walk a hugetlb vma at all so the hugetlb code path not
reachable (e.g. in ksm or uprobe paths).
It's slightly implicit for future page_vma_mapped_walk() callers on that
lock requirement. But anyway, when one day this rule breaks, one will get
a straightforward warning in hugetlb_walk() with lockdep, then there'll be
a way out.
