__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and
could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic
context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should
clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing
__GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the
wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly
indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing
them prevents it.

GFP_IOFS was intended to be shorthand for clearing two flags, not a set of
allocation flags. There is only one user of this flag combination now and
there appears to be no reason why Lustre had to be protected from reclaim
stalls. As none of the sites appear to be atomic, this patch simply
deletes GFP_IOFS and converts Lustre to using GFP_KERNEL, GFP_NOFS or
GFP_NOIO as appropriate.

sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.
This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.
This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.
o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

This patch redefines which GFP bits are used for specifying mobility and
the order of the migrate types. Once redefined it's possible to convert
GFP flags to a migrate type with a simple mask and shift. The only
downside is that readers of OOM kill messages and allocation failures may
have been used to the existing values but scripts/gfp-translate will help.

File-backed pages that will be immediately written are balanced between
zones. This heuristic tries to avoid having a single zone filled with
recently dirtied pages but the checks are unnecessarily expensive. Move
consider_zone_balanced into the alloc_context instead of checking bitmaps
multiple times. The patch also gives the parameter a more meaningful
name.

Overall, the intent of this series is to remove the zonelist cache which
was introduced to avoid high overhead in the page allocator. Once this is
done, it is necessary to reduce the cost of watermark checks.
The series starts with minor micro-optimisations.
Next it notes that GFP flags that affect watermark checks are abused.
__GFP_WAIT historically identified callers that could not sleep and could
access reserves. This was later abused to identify callers that simply
prefer to avoid sleeping and have other options. A patch distinguishes
between atomic callers, high-priority callers and those that simply wish
to avoid sleep.
The zonelist cache has been around for a long time but it is of dubious
merit with a lot of complexity and some issues that are explained. The
most important issue is that a failed THP allocation can cause a zone to
be treated as "full". This potentially causes unnecessary stalls, reclaim
activity or remote fallbacks. The issues could be fixed but it's not
worth it. The series places a small number of other micro-optimisations
on top before examining GFP flags watermarks.
High-order watermarks enforcement can cause high-order allocations to fail
even though pages are free. The watermark checks both protect high-order
atomic allocations and make kswapd aware of high-order pages but there is
a much better way that can be handled using migrate types. This series
uses page grouping by mobility to reserve pageblocks for high-order
allocations with the size of the reservation depending on demand. kswapd
awareness is maintained by examining the free lists. By patch 12 in this
series, there are no high-order watermark checks while preserving the
properties that motivated the introduction of the watermark checks.
This patch (of 10):
No user of zone_watermark_ok_safe() specifies alloc_flags. This patch
removes the unnecessary parameter.

It turns out that we still have issues with the EFI memory map that ends
up polluting our kernel page tables with writable executable pages.
That will get sorted out, but in the meantime let's not make the scary
complaint about them be on by default. The code is useful for
developers, but not ready for end user testing yet.

Test the mmap() flag, and the mlockall() flag. These tests ensure that
pages are not faulted in until they are accessed, that the pages are
unevictable once faulted in, and that VMA splitting and merging works with
the new VM flag. The second test ensures that mlock limits are respected.
Note that the limit test needs to be run a normal user.
Also add tests to use the new mlock2 family of system calls.

The previous patch introduced a flag that specified pages in a VMA should
be placed on the unevictable LRU, but they should not be made present when
the area is created. This patch adds the ability to set this state via
the new mlock system calls.
We add MLOCK_ONFAULT for mlock2 and MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall.
MLOCK_ONFAULT will set the VM_LOCKONFAULT modifier for VM_LOCKED.
MCL_ONFAULT should be used as a modifier to the two other mlockall flags.
When used with MCL_CURRENT, all current mappings will be marked with
VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. When used with MCL_FUTURE, the mm->def_flags
will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. When used with both
MCL_CURRENT and MCL_FUTURE, all current mappings and mm->def_flags will be
marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT.
Prior to this patch, mlockall() will unconditionally clear the
mm->def_flags any time it is called without MCL_FUTURE. This behavior is
maintained after adding MCL_ONFAULT. If a call to mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) is
followed by mlockall(MCL_CURRENT), the mm->def_flags will be cleared and
new VMAs will be unlocked. This remains true with or without MCL_ONFAULT
in either mlockall() invocation.
munlock() will unconditionally clear both vma flags. munlockall()
unconditionally clears for VMA flags on all VMAs and in the mm->def_flags
field.

The cost of faulting in all memory to be locked can be very high when
working with large mappings. If only portions of the mapping will be used
this can incur a high penalty for locking.
For the example of a large file, this is the usage pattern for a large
statical language model (probably applies to other statical or graphical
models as well). For the security example, any application transacting in
data that cannot be swapped out (credit card data, medical records, etc).
This patch introduces the ability to request that pages are not
pre-faulted, but are placed on the unevictable LRU when they are finally
faulted in. The VM_LOCKONFAULT flag will be used together with VM_LOCKED
and has no effect when set without VM_LOCKED. Setting the VM_LOCKONFAULT
flag for a VMA will cause pages faulted into that VMA to be added to the
unevictable LRU when they are faulted or if they are already present, but
will not cause any missing pages to be faulted in.
Exposing this new lock state means that we cannot overload the meaning of
the FOLL_POPULATE flag any longer. Prior to this patch it was used to
mean that the VMA for a fault was locked. This means we need the new
FOLL_MLOCK flag to communicate the locked state of a VMA. FOLL_POPULATE
will now only control if the VMA should be populated and in the case of
VM_LOCKONFAULT, it will not be set.

mlock() allows a user to control page out of program memory, but this
comes at the cost of faulting in the entire mapping when it is allocated.
For large mappings where the entire area is not necessary this is not
ideal. Instead of forcing all locked pages to be present when they are
allocated, this set creates a middle ground. Pages are marked to be
placed on the unevictable LRU (locked) when they are first used, but they
are not faulted in by the mlock call.
This series introduces a new mlock() system call that takes a flags
argument along with the start address and size. This flags argument gives
the caller the ability to request memory be locked in the traditional way,
or to be locked after the page is faulted in. A new MCL flag is added to
mirror the lock on fault behavior from mlock() in mlockall().
There are two main use cases that this set covers. The first is the
security focussed mlock case. A buffer is needed that cannot be written
to swap. The maximum size is known, but on average the memory used is
significantly less than this maximum. With lock on fault, the buffer is
guaranteed to never be paged out without consuming the maximum size every
time such a buffer is created.
The second use case is focussed on performance. Portions of a large file
are needed and we want to keep the used portions in memory once accessed.
This is the case for large graphical models where the path through the
graph is not known until run time. The entire graph is unlikely to be
used in a given invocation, but once a node has been used it needs to stay
resident for further processing. Given these constraints we have a number
of options. We can potentially waste a large amount of memory by mlocking
the entire region (this can also cause a significant stall at startup as
the entire file is read in). We can mlock every page as we access them
without tracking if the page is already resident but this introduces large
overhead for each access. The third option is mapping the entire region
with PROT_NONE and using a signal handler for SIGSEGV to
mprotect(PROT_READ) and mlock() the needed page. Doing this page at a
time adds a significant performance penalty. Batching can be used to
mitigate this overhead, but in order to safely avoid trying to mprotect
pages outside of the mapping, the boundaries of each mapping to be used in
this way must be tracked and available to the signal handler. This is
precisely what the mm system in the kernel should already be doing.
For mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) the user is charged against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK as if
mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) or mmap(MAP_LOCKED) was used, so when the VMA is
created not when the pages are faulted in. For mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) the
user is charged as if MCL_FUTURE was used. This decision was made to keep
the accounting checks out of the page fault path.
To illustrate the benefit of this set I wrote a test program that mmaps a
5 GB file filled with random data and then makes 15,000,000 accesses to
random addresses in that mapping. The test program was run 20 times for
each setup. Results are reported for two program portions, setup and
execution. The setup phase is calling mmap and optionally mlock on the
entire region. For most experiments this is trivial, but it highlights
the cost of faulting in the entire region. Results are averages across
the 20 runs in milliseconds.
mmap with mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) on entire range:
Setup avg: 8228.666
Processing avg: 8274.257
mmap with mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) before each access:
Setup avg: 0.113
Processing avg: 90993.552
mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 1 page:
With the default value in max_map_count, this gets ENOMEM as I attempt
to change the permissions, after upping the sysctl significantly I get:
Setup avg: 0.058
Processing avg: 69488.073
mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 8 pages:
Setup avg: 0.068
Processing avg: 38204.116
mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 16 pages:
Setup avg: 0.044
Processing avg: 29671.180
mmap with mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) on entire range:
Setup avg: 0.189
Processing avg: 17904.899
The signal handler in the batch cases faulted in memory in two steps to
avoid having to know the start and end of the faulting mapping. The first
step covers the page that caused the fault as we know that it will be
possible to lock. The second step speculatively tries to mlock and
mprotect the batch size - 1 pages that follow. There may be a clever way
to avoid this without having the program track each mapping to be covered
by this handeler in a globally accessible structure, but I could not find
it. It should be noted that with a large enough batch size this two step
fault handler can still cause the program to crash if it reaches far
beyond the end of the mapping.
These results show that if the developer knows that a majority of the
mapping will be used, it is better to try and fault it in at once,
otherwise mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) is significantly faster.
The performance cost of these patches are minimal on the two benchmarks I
have tested (stream and kernbench). The following are the average values
across 20 runs of stream and 10 runs of kernbench after a warmup run whose
results were discarded.

This patch (of 6):
Extending the mlock system call is very difficult because it currently
does not take a flags argument. A later patch in this set will extend
mlock to support a middle ground between pages that are locked and faulted
in immediately and unlocked pages. To pave the way for the new system
call, the code needs some reorganization so that all the actual entry
point handles is checking input and translating to VMA flags.

Currently we already taint the kernel in some cases. E.g. if we hit some
bug in slub memory we call object_err() which will taint the kernel with
TAINT_BAD_PAGE flag. But for other kind of bugs kernel left untainted.

It's recommended to have slub's user tracking enabled with CONFIG_KASAN,
because:
a) User tracking disables slab merging which improves
detecting out-of-bounds accesses.
b) User tracking metadata acts as redzone which also improves
detecting out-of-bounds accesses.
c) User tracking provides additional information about object.
This information helps to understand bugs.
Currently it is not enabled by default. Besides recompiling the kernel
with KASAN and reinstalling it, user also have to change the boot cmdline,
which is not very handy.
Enable slub user tracking by default with KASAN=y, since there is no good
reason to not do this.

Each access with address lower than
kasan_shadow_to_mem(KASAN_SHADOW_START) is reported as user-memory-access.
This is not always true, the accessed address might not be in user space.
Fix this by reporting such accesses as null-ptr-derefs or
wild-memory-accesses.
There's another reason for this change. For userspace ASan we have a
bunch of systems that analyze error types for the purpose of
classification and deduplication. Sooner of later we will write them to
KASAN as well. Then clearly and explicitly stated error types will bring
value.

There's an odd line about "Locked" at the head of the description of
/proc/meminfo: it seems to have strayed from /proc/PID/smaps, so lead it
back there. Move "Swap" and "SwapPss" descriptions down above it, to
match the order in the file (though "PageSize"s still undescribed).
The example of "Locked: 374 kB" (the same as Pss, neither Rss nor Size) is
so unlikely as to be misleading: just make it 0, this is /bin/bash text;
which would be "dw" (disabled write) not "de" (do not expand).

LKP reports that v4.2 commit afa2db2fb6f1 ("tmpfs: truncate prealloc
blocks past i_size") causes a 14.5% slowdown in the AIM9 creat-clo
benchmark.
creat-clo does just what you'd expect from the name, and creat's O_TRUNC
on 0-length file does indeed get into more overhead now shmem_setattr()
tests "0 <= 0" instead of "0 < 0".
I'm not sure how much we care, but I think it would not be too VW-like to
add in a check for whether any pages (or swap) are allocated: if none are
allocated, there's none to remove from the radix_tree. At first I thought
that check would be good enough for the unmaps too, but no: we should not
skip the unlikely case of unmapping pages beyond the new EOF, which were
COWed from holes which have now been reclaimed, leaving none.
This gives me an 8.5% speedup: on Haswell instead of LKP's Westmere, and
running a debug config before and after: I hope those account for the
lesser speedup.
And probably someone has a benchmark where a thousand threads keep on
stat'ing the same file repeatedly: forestall that report by adjusting v4.3
commit 44a30220bc0a ("shmem: recalculate file inode when fstat") not to
take the spinlock in shmem_getattr() when there's no work to do.

Commit 424cdc141380 ("memcg: convert threshold to bytes") has fixed a
regression introduced by 3e32cb2e0a12 ("mm: memcontrol: lockless page
counters") where thresholds were silently converted to use page units
rather than bytes when interpreting the user input.
The fix is not complete, though, as properly pointed out by Ben Hutchings
during stable backport review. The page count is converted to bytes but
unsigned long is used to hold the value which would be obviously not
sufficient for 32b systems with more than 4G thresholds. The same applies
to usage as taken from mem_cgroup_usage which might overflow.
Let's remove this bytes vs. pages internal tracking differences and
handle thresholds in page units internally. Chage mem_cgroup_usage() to
return the value in page units and revert 424cdc141380 because this should
be sufficient for the consistent handling. mem_cgroup_read_u64 as the
only users of mem_cgroup_usage outside of the threshold handling code is
converted to give the proper in bytes result. It is doing that already
for page_counter output so this is more consistent as well.
The value presented to the userspace is still in bytes units.

page_counter_try_charge() currently returns 0 on success and -ENOMEM on
failure, which is surprising behavior given the function name.
Make it follow the expected pattern of try_stuff() functions that return a
boolean true to indicate success, or false for failure.

memory.current on the root level doesn't add anything that wouldn't be
more accurate and detailed using system statistics. It already doesn't
include slabs, and it'll be a pain to keep in sync when further memory
types are accounted in the memory controller. Remove it.
Note that this applies to the new unified hierarchy interface only.

My recent patch "mm, hugetlb: use memory policy when available" added some
bloat to hugetlb.o. This patch aims to get some of the bloat back,
especially when NUMA is not in play.
It does this with an implicit #ifdef and marking some things static that
should have been static in my first patch. It also makes the warnings
only VM_WARN_ON()s. They were responsible for a pretty big chunk of the
bloat.
Doing this gets our NUMA=n text size back to a wee bit _below_ where we
started before the original patch.
It also shaves a bit of space off the NUMA=y case, but not much.
Enforcing the mempolicy definitely takes some text and it's hard to avoid.

I have a hugetlbfs user which is never explicitly allocating huge pages
with 'nr_hugepages'. They only set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages' and then let
the pages be allocated from the buddy allocator at fault time.
This works, but they noticed that mbind() was not doing them any good and
the pages were being allocated without respect for the policy they
specified.
The code in question is this:
> struct page *alloc_huge_page(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
...
> page = dequeue_huge_page_vma(h, vma, addr, avoid_reserve, gbl_chg);
> if (!page) {
> page = alloc_buddy_huge_page(h, NUMA_NO_NODE);
dequeue_huge_page_vma() is smart and will respect the VMA's memory policy.
But, it only grabs _existing_ huge pages from the huge page pool. If the
pool is empty, we fall back to alloc_buddy_huge_page() which obviously
can't do anything with the VMA's policy because it isn't even passed the
VMA.
Almost everybody preallocates huge pages. That's probably why nobody has
ever noticed this. Looking back at the git history, I don't think this
_ever_ worked from when alloc_buddy_huge_page() was introduced in
7893d1d5, 8 years ago.
The fix is to pass vma/addr down in to the places where we actually call
in to the buddy allocator. It's fairly straightforward plumbing. This
has been lightly tested.

As far as I can tell, strncpy_from_unsafe never returns -EFAULT. ret is
the result of a __copy_from_user_inatomic(), which is 0 for success and
positive (in this case necessarily 1) for access error - it is never
negative. So we were always returning the length of the, possibly
truncated, destination string.

mm/cma.c: In function 'cma_alloc':
mm/cma.c:366: warning: 'pfn' may be used uninitialized in this function
The patch actually improves the tracing a bit: if alloc_contig_range()
fails, tracing will display the offending pfn rather than -1.

clear_page_dirty_for_io() has accumulated writeback and memcg subtleties
since v2.6.16 first introduced page migration; and the set_page_dirty()
which completed its migration of PageDirty, later had to be moderated to
__set_page_dirty_nobuffers(); then PageSwapBacked had to skip that too.
No actual problems seen with this procedure recently, but if you look into
what the clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)+set_page_dirty(newpage) is actually
achieving, it turns out to be nothing more than moving the PageDirty flag,
and its NR_FILE_DIRTY stat from one zone to another.
It would be good to avoid a pile of irrelevant decrementations and
incrementations, and improper event counting, and unnecessary descent of
the radix_tree under tree_lock (to set the PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY which
radix_tree_replace_slot() left in place anyway).
Do the NR_FILE_DIRTY movement, like the other stats movements, while
interrupts still disabled in migrate_page_move_mapping(); and don't even
bother if the zone is the same. Do the PageDirty movement there under
tree_lock too, where old page is frozen and newpage not yet visible:
bearing in mind that as soon as newpage becomes visible in radix_tree, an
un-page-locked set_page_dirty() might interfere (or perhaps that's just
not possible: anything doing so should already hold an additional
reference to the old page, preventing its migration; but play safe).
But we do still need to transfer PageDirty in migrate_page_copy(), for
those who don't go the mapping route through migrate_page_move_mapping().
