Using a threaded interrupt without a dedicated primary handler mandates
the IRQF_ONESHOT flag to mask the interrupt source while the threaded
handler is active. Otherwise the interrupt can fire again before the
threaded handler had a chance to run.
Mark explained that this should not happen with this hardware since it
is a slow irqchip which is behind an I2C/ SPI bus but the IRQ-core will
refuse to accept such a handler.
Set IRQF_ONESHOT so the interrupt source is masked until the secondary
handler is done.

The flag IRQF_COND_ONESHOT was already force-added to request_irq() because
the ACPI SCI interrupt handler is using the IRQF_ONESHOT flag which breaks
all shared handlers.
devm_request_irq() needs the same change since some users, such as
int0002_vgpio, are using this function instead.
Add IRQF_COND_ONESHOT to the flags passed to devm_request_irq().

The current cgroup subsystem limit of 16 is insufficient, as the number of
existing subsystems has already reached this limit. When adding a new
subsystem that is not yet in the mainline kernel, building with
`make allmodconfig` requires first bypassing the
`BUILD_BUG_ON(CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT > 16)` restriction to allow compilation
to succeed. However, the kernel still fails to boot afterward.
This patch increases the maximum number of supported cgroup subsystems from
16 to 32, providing enough room for future subsystem additions.

The IPC sysctls implement the ctl_table_root::permissions hook and they
override the file access mode based on the CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE
capability, which is being checked regardless of whether any access is
actually denied or not, so if an LSM denies the capability, an audit
record may be logged even when access is in fact granted.
It wouldn't be viable to restructure the sysctl permission logic to only
check the capability when the access would be actually denied if it's not
granted. Thus, do the same as in net_ctl_permissions() (net/sysctl_net.c)
- switch from ns_capable() to ns_capable_noaudit(), so that the check
never emits an audit record.

Problem
=======
Commit 658eb5ab916d ("delayacct: add delay max to record delay peak")
introduced the delay max for getdelays, which records abnormal latency
peaks and helps us understand the magnitude of such delays. However, the
peak latency value alone is insufficient for effective root cause
analysis. Without the precise timestamp of when the peak occurred, we
still lack the critical context needed to correlate it with other system
events.
Solution
========
To address this, we need to additionally record a precise timestamp when
the maximum latency occurs. By correlating this timestamp with system
logs and monitoring metrics, we can identify processes with abnormal
resource usage at the same moment, which can help us to pinpoint root
causes.
Use Case

Tracing is a half of the kernel.h in terms of LOCs, although it's a
self-consistent part. It is intended for quick debugging purposes and
isn't used by the normal tracing utilities.
Move it to a separate header. If someone needs to just throw a
trace_printk() in their driver, they will not have to pull all the heavy
tracing machinery.
This is a pure move.

The __trace_puts() function takes a string pointer and the size of the
string itself. All users currently simply pass in the strlen() of the
string it is also passing in. There's no reason to pass in the size.
Instead have the __trace_puts() function do the strlen() within the
function itself.
This fixes a header recursion issue where using strlen() in the macro
calling __trace_puts() requires adding #include <linux/string.h> in order
to use strlen(). Removing the use of strlen() from the header fixes the
recursion issue.

Now that the macro is removed from kernel.h, linux/moduleparam.h is

Patch series "Unload linux/kernel.h", v5.
kernel.h hosts declarations that can be placed better. This series
decouples kernel.h with some explicit and implicit dependencies; also,
moves tracing functionality to a new independent header.
This patch (of 6):
The macro was introduced in 1994, v1.0.4, for stacks protection. Since
that, people found better ways to protect stacks, and now the macro is
only used by i915 selftests. Move it to a local header and drop from the
kernel.h.

using __typeof_unqual__ with a released version of LLVM 19, which is
greater than or equal to 19.1.0 with LLVM's versioning scheme that
matches GCC's [2].

Patch series "kho: clean up page initialization logic", v2.
This series simplifies the page initialization logic in
kho_restore_page(). It was originally only a single patch [0], but on
Pasha's suggestion, I added another patch to use unsigned long for
nr_pages.
Technically speaking, the patches aren't related and can be applied
independently, but bundling them together since patch 2 relies on 1 and it
is easier to manage them this way.
This patch (of 2):
With 4k pages, a 32-bit nr_pages can span up to 16 TiB. While it is a
lot, there exist systems with terabytes of RAM. gup is also moving to
using long for nr_pages. Use unsigned long and make KHO future-proof.

required to merge "kho: use unsigned long for nr_pages".

Now, the swap cache is managed by the swap table. All swap cache users
are checking the swap table directly to check the swap cache state.
SWAP_HAS_CACHE is now just a temporary pin before the first increase from
0 to 1 of a slot's swap count (swap_dup_entries) after swap allocation
(folio_alloc_swap), or before the final free of slots pinned by folio in
swap cache (put_swap_folio).
Drop these two usages. For the first dup, SWAP_HAS_CACHE pinning was hard
to kill because it used to have multiple meanings, more than just "a slot
is cached". We have just simplified that and defined that the first dup
is always done with folio locked in swap cache (folio_dup_swap), so stop
checking the SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit and just check the swap cache (swap table)
directly, and add a WARN if a swap entry's count is being increased for
the first time while the folio is not in swap cache.
As for freeing, just let the swap cache free all swap entries of a folio
that have a swap count of zero directly upon folio removal. We have also
just cleaned up batch freeing to check the swap cache usage using the swap
table: a slot with swap cache in the swap table will not be freed until
its cache is gone, and no SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit is involved anymore. And
besides, the removal of a folio and freeing of the slots are being done in
the same critical section now, which should improve the performance.
After these two changes, SWAP_HAS_CACHE no longer has any users. Swap
cache synchronization is also done by the swap table directly, so using
SWAP_HAS_CACHE to pin a slot before adding the cache is also no longer
needed. Remove all related logic and helpers. swap_map is now only used
for tracking the count, so all swap_map users can just read it directly,
ignoring the swap_count helper, which was previously used to filter out
the SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit.
The idea of dropping SWAP_HAS_CACHE and using the swap table directly was
initially from Chris's idea of merging all the metadata usage of all swaps
into one place.

The allocator uses SWAP_HAS_CACHE to pin a swap slot upon allocation.
SWAP_HAS_CACHE is being deprecated as it caused a lot of confusion. This
pinning usage here can be dropped by adding the folio to swap cache
directly on allocation.
All swap allocations are folio-based now (except for hibernation), so the
swap allocator can always take the folio as the parameter. And now both
swap cache (swap table) and swap map are protected by the cluster lock,
scanning the map and inserting the folio can be done in the same critical
section. This eliminates the time window that a slot is pinned by
SWAP_HAS_CACHE, but it has no cache, and avoids touching the lock multiple
times.
This is both a cleanup and an optimization.

The current swap entry allocation/freeing workflow has never had a clear
definition. This makes it hard to debug or add new optimizations.
This commit introduces a proper definition of how swap entries would be
allocated and freed. Now, most operations are folio based, so they will
never exceed one swap cluster, and we now have a cleaner border between
swap and the rest of mm, making it much easier to follow and debug,
especially with new added sanity checks. Also making more optimization
possible.
Swap entry will be mostly freed and free with a folio bound. The folio
lock will be useful for resolving many swap related races.
Now swap allocation (except hibernation) always starts with a folio in the
swap cache, and gets duped/freed protected by the folio lock:
- folio_alloc_swap() - The only allocation entry point now.
Context: The folio must be locked.
This allocates one or a set of continuous swap slots for a folio and
binds them to the folio by adding the folio to the swap cache. The
swap slots' swap count start with zero value.
- folio_dup_swap() - Increase the swap count of one or more entries.
Context: The folio must be locked and in the swap cache. For now, the
caller still has to lock the new swap entry owner (e.g., PTL).
This increases the ref count of swap entries allocated to a folio.
Newly allocated swap slots' count has to be increased by this helper
as the folio got unmapped (and swap entries got installed).
- folio_put_swap() - Decrease the swap count of one or more entries.
Context: The folio must be locked and in the swap cache. For now, the
caller still has to lock the new swap entry owner (e.g., PTL).
This decreases the ref count of swap entries allocated to a folio.
Typically, swapin will decrease the swap count as the folio got
installed back and the swap entry got uninstalled
This won't remove the folio from the swap cache and free the
slot. Lazy freeing of swap cache is helpful for reducing IO.
There is already a folio_free_swap() for immediate cache reclaim.
This part could be further optimized later.
The above locking constraints could be further relaxed when the swap table
is fully implemented. Currently dup still needs the caller to lock the
swap entry container (e.g. PTL), or a concurrent zap may underflow the
swap count.
Some swap users need to interact with swap count without involving folio
(e.g. forking/zapping the page table or mapping truncate without swapin).
In such cases, the caller has to ensure there is no race condition on
whatever owns the swap count and use the below helpers:
- swap_put_entries_direct() - Decrease the swap count directly.
Context: The caller must lock whatever is referencing the slots to
avoid a race.
Typically the page table zapping or shmem mapping truncate will need
to free swap slots directly. If a slot is cached (has a folio bound),
this will also try to release the swap cache.
- swap_dup_entry_direct() - Increase the swap count directly.
Context: The caller must lock whatever is referencing the entries to
avoid race, and the entries must already have a swap count > 1.
Typically, forking will need to copy the page table and hence needs to
increase the swap count of the entries in the table. The page table is
locked while referencing the swap entries, so the entries all have a
swap count > 1 and can't be freed.
Hibernation subsystem is a bit different, so two special wrappers are here:
- swap_alloc_hibernation_slot() - Allocate one entry from one device.
- swap_free_hibernation_slot() - Free one entry allocated by the above
helper.
All hibernation entries are exclusive to the hibernation subsystem and
should not interact with ordinary swap routines.
By separating the workflows, it will be possible to bind folio more
tightly with swap cache and get rid of the SWAP_HAS_CACHE as a temporary
pin.
This commit should not introduce any behavior change

Current swap in synchronization mostly uses the swap_map's SWAP_HAS_CACHE
bit. Whoever sets the bit first does the actual work to swap in a folio.
This has been causing many issues as it's just a poor implementation of a
bit lock. Raced users have no idea what is pinning a slot, so it has to
loop with a schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(1), which is ugly and causes
long-tailing or other performance issues. Besides, the abuse of
SWAP_HAS_CACHE has been causing many other troubles for synchronization or
maintenance.
This is the first step to remove this bit completely.
Now all swap in paths are using the swap cache, and both the swap cache
and swap map are protected by the cluster lock. So we can just resolve
the swap synchronization with the swap cache layer directly using the
cluster lock and folio lock. Whoever inserts a folio in the swap cache
first does the swap in work. And because folios are locked during swap
operations, other raced swap operations will just wait on the folio lock.
The SWAP_HAS_CACHE will be removed in later commit. For now, we still set
it for some remaining users. But now we do the bit setting and swap cache
folio adding in the same critical section, after swap cache is ready. No
one will have to spin on the SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit anymore.
This both simplifies the logic and should improve the performance,
eliminating issues like the one solved in commit 01626a1823024 ("mm: avoid
unconditional one-tick sleep when swapcache_prepare fails"), or the
"skip_if_exists" from commit a65b0e7607ccb ("zswap: make shrinking
memcg-aware"), which will be removed very soon.

The SWAP_MAP_SHMEM state was introduced in the commit aaa468653b4a
("swap_info: note SWAP_MAP_SHMEM"), to quickly determine if a swap entry
belongs to shmem during swapoff.
However, swapoff has since been rewritten in the commit b56a2d8af914 ("mm:
rid swapoff of quadratic complexity"). Now having swap count ==
SWAP_MAP_SHMEM value is basically the same as having swap count == 1, and
swap_shmem_alloc() behaves analogously to swap_duplicate(). The only
difference of note is that swap_shmem_alloc() does not check for -ENOMEM
returned from __swap_duplicate(), but it is OK because shmem never
re-duplicates any swap entry it owns. This will stil be safe if we use
(batched) swap_duplicate() instead.
This commit adds swap_duplicate_nr(), the batched variant of
swap_duplicate(), and removes the SWAP_MAP_SHMEM state and the associated
swap_shmem_alloc() helper to simplify the state machine (both mentally and
in terms of actual code). We will also have an extra state/special value
that can be repurposed (for swap entries that never gets re-duplicated).

Sometimes we wish to assert that a VMA is stable, that is - the VMA cannot
be changed underneath us. This will be the case if EITHER the VMA lock or
the mmap lock is held.
In order to do so, we introduce a new assert vma_assert_stabilised() -
this will make a lockdep assert if lockdep is enabled AND the VMA is
read-locked.
Currently lockdep tracking for VMA write locks is not implemented, so it
suffices to check in this case that we have either an mmap read or write
semaphore held.
Note that because the VMA lock uses the non-standard vmlock_dep_map naming
convention, we cannot use lockdep_assert_is_write_held() so have to open
code this ourselves via lockdep-asserting that
lock_is_held_type(&vma->vmlock_dep_map, 0).
We have to be careful here - for instance when merging a VMA, we use the
mmap write lock to stabilise the examination of adjacent VMAs which might
be simultaneously VMA read-locked whilst being faulted in.
If we were to assert VMA read lock using lockdep we would encounter an
incorrect lockdep assert.
Also, we have to be careful about asserting mmap locks are held - if we
try to address the above issue by first checking whether mmap lock is held
and if so asserting it via lockdep, we may find that we were raced by
another thread acquiring an mmap read lock simultaneously that either we
don't own (and thus can be released any time - so we are not stable) or
was indeed released since we last checked.
So to deal with these complexities we end up with either a precise (if
lockdep is enabled) or imprecise (if not) approach - in the first instance
we assert the lock is held using lockdep and thus whether we own it.
If we do own it, then the check is complete, otherwise we must check for
the VMA read lock being held (VMA write lock implies mmap write lock so
the mmap lock suffices for this).
If lockdep is not enabled we simply check if the mmap lock is held and
risk a false negative (i.e. not asserting when we should do).
There are a couple places in the kernel where we already do this
stabliisation check - the anon_vma_name() helper in mm/madvise.c and
vma_flag_set_atomic() in include/linux/mm.h, which we update to use
vma_assert_stabilised().
This change abstracts these into vma_assert_stabilised(), uses lockdep if
possible, and avoids a duplicate check of whether the mmap lock is held.
This is also self-documenting and lays the foundations for further VMA
stability checks in the code.
The only functional change here is adding the lockdep check.

We can use lockdep to avoid unnecessary work here, otherwise update the
code to logically evaluate all pertinent cases and share code with
vma_assert_write_locked().
Make it clear here that we treat the VMA being detached at this point as a
bug, this was only implicit before.
Additionally, abstract references to vma->vmlock_dep_map by introducing a
macro helper __vma_lockdep_map() which accesses this field if lockdep is
enabled.
Since lock_is_held() is specified as an extern function if lockdep is
disabled, we can simply have __vma_lockdep_map() defined as NULL in this
case, and then use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_LOCKDEP) to avoid ugly ifdeffery.

We don't actually need to return an output parameter providing mm sequence
number, rather we can separate that out into another function -
__vma_raw_mm_seqnum() - and have any callers which need to obtain that
invoke that instead.
The access to the raw sequence number requires that we hold the exclusive
mmap lock such that we know we can't race vma_end_write_all(), so move the
assert to __vma_raw_mm_seqnum() to make this requirement clear.
Also while we're here, convert all of the VM_BUG_ON_VMA()'s to
VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_VMA()'s in line with the convention that we do not invoke
oopses when we can avoid it.

It is confusing to have __vma_start_exclude_readers() return 0, 1 or an
error (but only when waiting for readers in TASK_KILLABLE state), and
having the return value be stored in a stack variable called 'locked'
is further confusion.
More generally, we are doing a lot of rather finnicky things during the
acquisition of a state in which readers are excluded and moving out of
this state, including tracking whether we are detached or not or
whether an error occurred.
We are implementing logic in __vma_start_exclude_readers() that
effectively acts as if 'if one caller calls us do X, if another then do
Y', which is very confusing from a control flow perspective.
Introducing the shared helper object state helps us avoid this, as we
can now handle the 'an error arose but we're detached' condition
correctly in both callers - a warning if not detaching, and treating
the situation as if no error arose in the case of a VMA detaching.
This also acts to help document what's going on and allows us to add
some more logical debug asserts.
Also update vma_mark_detached() to add a guard clause for the likely
'already detached' state (given we hold the mmap write lock), and add a
comment about ephemeral VMA read lock reference count increments to
clarify why we are entering/exiting an exclusive locked state here.
Finally, separate vma_mark_detached() into its fast-path component and
make it inline, then place the slow path for excluding readers in
mmap_lock.c.
No functional change intended.

These functions are very confusing indeed. 'Entering' a lock could be
interpreted as acquiring it, but this is not what these functions are
interacting with.
Equally they don't indicate at all what kind of lock we are 'entering' or
'exiting'. Finally they are misleading as we invoke these functions when
we already hold a write lock to detach a VMA.
These functions are explicitly simply 'entering' and 'exiting' a state in
which we hold the EXCLUSIVE lock in order that we can either mark the VMA
as being write-locked, or mark the VMA detached.
Rename the functions accordingly, and also update
__vma_end_exclude_readers() to return detached state with a __must_check
directive, as it is simply clumsy to pass an output pointer here to
detached state and inconsistent vs. __vma_start_exclude_readers().
Finally, remove the unnecessary 'inline' directives.
No functional change intended.

The code is littered with inscrutable and duplicative lockdep
incantations, replace these with defines which explain what is going on
and add commentary to explain what we're doing.
If lockdep is disabled these become no-ops. We must use defines so
_RET_IP_ remains meaningful.
These are self-documenting and aid readability of the code.
Additionally, instead of using the confusing rwsem_*() form for something
that is emphatically not an rwsem, we instead explicitly use
lock_[acquired, release]_shared/exclusive() lockdep invocations since we
are doing something rather custom here and these make more sense to use.

The is_vma_writer_only() function is misnamed - this isn't determining if
there is only a write lock, as it checks for the presence of the
VM_REFCNT_EXCLUDE_READERS_FLAG.
Really, it is checking to see whether readers are excluded, with a
possibility of a false positive in the case of a detachment (there we
expect the vma->vm_refcnt to eventually be set to
VM_REFCNT_EXCLUDE_READERS_FLAG, whereas for an attached VMA we expect it
to eventually be set to VM_REFCNT_EXCLUDE_READERS_FLAG + 1).
Rename the function accordingly.
Relatedly, we use a __refcount_dec_and_test() primitive directly in
vma_refcount_put(), using the old value to determine what the reference
count ought to be after the operation is complete (ignoring racing
reference count adjustments).
Wrap this into a __vma_refcount_put_return() function, which we can then
utilise in vma_mark_detached() and thus keep the refcount primitive usage
abstracted.
This function, as the name implies, returns the value after the reference
count has been updated.
This reduces duplication in the two invocations of this function.
Also adjust comments, removing duplicative comments covered elsewhere and
adding more to aid understanding.
No functional change intended.

Patch series "mm: add and use vma_assert_stabilised() helper", v4.
This series first introduces a series of refactorings, intended to
significantly improve readability and abstraction of the code.
Sometimes we wish to assert that a VMA is stable, that is - the VMA cannot
be changed underneath us. This will be the case if EITHER the VMA lock or
the mmap lock is held.
We already open-code this in two places - anon_vma_name() in mm/madvise.c
and vma_flag_set_atomic() in include/linux/mm.h.
This series adds vma_assert_stablised() which abstract this can be used in
these callsites instead.
This implementation uses lockdep where possible - that is VMA read locks -
which correctly track read lock acquisition/release via:
vma_start_read() ->
rwsem_acquire_read()
vma_start_read_locked() ->
vma_start_read_locked_nested() ->
rwsem_acquire_read()
And:
vma_end_read() ->
vma_refcount_put() ->
rwsem_release()
We don't track the VMA locks using lockdep for VMA write locks, however
these are predicated upon mmap write locks whose lockdep state we do
track, and additionally vma_assert_stabillised() asserts this check if VMA
read lock is not held, so we get lockdep coverage in this case also.
We also add extensive comments to describe what we're doing.
There's some tricky stuff around mmap locking and stabilisation races that
we have to be careful of that I describe in the patch introducing
vma_assert_stabilised().
This change also lays the foundation for future series to add this assert
in further places where we wish to make it clear that we rely upon a
stabilised VMA.
The motivation for this change was precisely this.
This patch (of 10):
The VMA_LOCK_OFFSET value encodes a flag which vma->vm_refcnt is set to in
order to indicate that a VMA is in the process of having VMA read-locks
excluded in __vma_enter_locked() (that is, first checking if there are any
VMA read locks held, and if there are, waiting on them to be released).
This happens when a VMA write lock is being established, or a VMA is being
marked detached and discovers that the VMA reference count is elevated due
to read-locks temporarily elevating the reference count only to discover a
VMA write lock is in place.
The naming does not convey any of this, so rename VMA_LOCK_OFFSET to
VM_REFCNT_EXCLUDE_READERS_FLAG (with a sensible new prefix to
differentiate from the newly introduced VMA_*_BIT flags).
Also rename VMA_REF_LIMIT to VM_REFCNT_LIMIT to make this consistent also.
Update comments to reflect this.
No functional change intended.

Patch series "mm/damon: cleanup kdamond, damon_call(), damos filter and
DAMON_MIN_REGION".
Do miscellaneous code cleanups for improving readability. First three
patches cleanup kdamond termination process, by removing unused operation
set cleanup callback (patch 1) and moving damon_ctx specific resource
cleanups on kdamond termination to synchronization-easy place (patches 2
and 3). Next two patches touch damon_call() infrastructure, by
refactoring kdamond_call() function to do less and simpler locking
operations (patch 4), and documenting when dealloc_on_free does work
(patch 5). Final three patches rename things for clear uses of those.
Those rename damos_filter_out() to be more explicit about the fact that it
is only for core-handled filters (patch 6), DAMON_MIN_REGION macro to be
more explicit it is not about number of regions but size of each region
(patch 7), and damon_ctx->min_sz_region to be different from
damos_access_patern->min_sz_region (patch 8), so that those are not
confusing and easy to grep.
This patch (of 8):
damon_operations->cleanup() was added for a case that an operation set
implementation requires additional cleanups. But no such implementation
exists at the moment. Remove it.

Patch series "mm: accelerate gigantic folio allocation".
Optimize pfn_range_valid_contig() and replace_free_hugepage_folios() in
alloc_contig_frozen_pages() to speed up gigantic folio allocation. The
allocation time for 120*1G folios drops from 3.605s to 0.431s.
This patch (of 5):
Factor out the check if a page is unmovable into a new helper, and will be
reused in the following patch.
No functional change intended, the minor changes are as follows,
1) Avoid unnecessary calls by checking CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_HUGEPAGE_MIGRATION
2) Directly call PageCompound since PageTransCompound may be dropped
3) Using folio_test_hugetlb()

Currently, kswapd_failures is reset in multiple places (kswapd, direct
reclaim, PCP freeing, memory-tiers), but there's no way to trace when and
why it was reset, making it difficult to debug memory reclaim issues.
This patch:
1. Introduce kswapd_clear_hopeless() as a wrapper function to
centralize kswapd_failures reset logic.
2. Introduce kswapd_test_hopeless() to encapsulate hopeless node
checks, replacing all open-coded kswapd_failures comparisons.
3. Add kswapd_clear_hopeless_reason enum to distinguish reset sources:
- KSWAPD_CLEAR_HOPELESS_KSWAPD: reset from kswapd context
- KSWAPD_CLEAR_HOPELESS_DIRECT: reset from direct reclaim
- KSWAPD_CLEAR_HOPELESS_PCP: reset from PCP page freeing
- KSWAPD_CLEAR_HOPELESS_OTHER: reset from other paths
4. Add tracepoints for better observability:
- mm_vmscan_kswapd_clear_hopeless: traces each reset with reason
- mm_vmscan_kswapd_reclaim_fail: traces each kswapd reclaim failure
Test results:
$ trace-cmd record -e vmscan:mm_vmscan_kswapd_clear_hopeless -e vmscan:mm_vmscan_kswapd_reclaim_fail
$ # generate memory pressure

This patch (of 2):
When kswapd fails to reclaim memory, kswapd_failures is incremented. Once
it reaches MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES, kswapd stops running to avoid futile
reclaim attempts. However, any successful direct reclaim unconditionally
resets kswapd_failures to 0, which can cause problems.
We observed an issue in production on a multi-NUMA system where a process
allocated large amounts of anonymous pages on a single NUMA node, causing
its watermark to drop below high and evicting most file pages:
$ numastat -m
Per-node system memory usage (in MBs):
Node 0 Node 1 Total

MemTotal 128222.19 127983.91 256206.11
MemFree 1414.48 1432.80 2847.29

Inactive(anon) 92685.27 87466.11 180151.39
Active(file) 18.95 2198.10 2217.05
Inactive(file) 63.79 7910.89 7974.68
With swap disabled, only file pages can be reclaimed. When kswapd is
woken (e.g., via wake_all_kswapds()), it runs continuously but cannot
raise free memory above the high watermark since reclaimable file pages
are insufficient. Normally, kswapd would eventually stop after
kswapd_failures reaches MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES.
However, containers on this machine have memory.high set in their cgroup.
Business processes continuously trigger the high limit, causing frequent
direct reclaim that keeps resetting kswapd_failures to 0. This prevents
kswapd from ever stopping.
The key insight is that direct reclaim triggered by cgroup memory.high
performs aggressive scanning to throttle the allocating process. With
sufficiently aggressive scanning, even hot pages will eventually be
reclaimed, making direct reclaim "successful" at freeing some memory.
However, this success does not mean the node has reached a balanced state
- the freed memory may still be insufficient to bring free pages above the
high watermark. Unconditionally resetting kswapd_failures in this case
keeps kswapd alive indefinitely.
The result is that kswapd runs endlessly. Unlike direct reclaim which
only reclaims from the allocating cgroup, kswapd scans the entire node's
memory. This causes hot file pages from all workloads on the node to be
evicted, not just those from the cgroup triggering memory.high. These
pages constantly refault, generating sustained heavy IO READ pressure
across the entire system.
Fix this by only resetting kswapd_failures when the node is actually
balanced. This allows both kswapd and direct reclaim to clear
kswapd_failures upon successful reclaim, but only when the reclaim
actually resolves the memory pressure (i.e., the node becomes balanced).

Use the precise, albeit slower, precise RSS counter sums for the OOM
killer task selection and console dumps. The approximated value is too
imprecise on large many-core systems.
The following rss tracking issues were noted by Sweet Tea Dorminy [1],
which lead to picking wrong tasks as OOM kill target:
Recently, several internal services had an RSS usage regression as part of a
kernel upgrade. Previously, they were on a pre-6.2 kernel and were able to
read RSS statistics in a backup watchdog process to monitor and decide if
they'd overrun their memory budget. Now, however, a representative service
with five threads, expected to use about a hundred MB of memory, on a 250-cpu
machine had memory usage tens of megabytes different from the expected amount
-- this constituted a significant percentage of inaccuracy, causing the
watchdog to act.
This was a result of commit f1a7941243c1 ("mm: convert mm's rss stats
into percpu_counter") [1]. Previously, the memory error was bounded by
64*nr_threads pages, a very livable megabyte. Now, however, as a result of
scheduler decisions moving the threads around the CPUs, the memory error could
be as large as a gigabyte.
This is a really tremendous inaccuracy for any few-threaded program on a
large machine and impedes monitoring significantly. These stat counters are
also used to make OOM killing decisions, so this additional inaccuracy could
make a big difference in OOM situations -- either resulting in the wrong
process being killed, or in less memory being returned from an OOM-kill than
expected.
Here is a (possibly incomplete) list of the prior approaches that were
used or proposed, along with their downside:
1) Per-thread rss tracking: large error on many-thread processes.
2) Per-CPU counters: up to 12% slower for short-lived processes and 9%
increased system time in make test workloads [1]. Moreover, the
inaccuracy increases with O(n^2) with the number of CPUs.
3) Per-NUMA-node counters: requires atomics on fast-path (overhead),
error is high with systems that have lots of NUMA nodes (32 times
the number of NUMA nodes).
commit 82241a83cd15 ("mm: fix the inaccurate memory statistics issue for
users") introduced get_mm_counter_sum() for precise proc memory status
queries for some proc files.
The simple fix proposed here is to do the precise per-cpu counters sum
every time a counter value needs to be read. This applies to the OOM
killer task selection, oom task console dumps (printk).
This change increases the latency introduced when the OOM killer executes
in favor of doing a more precise OOM target task selection. Effectively,
the OOM killer iterates on all tasks, for all relevant page types, for
which the precise sum iterates on all possible CPUs.
As a reference, here is the execution time of the OOM killer before/after
the change:
AMD EPYC 9654 96-Core (2 sockets)
Within a KVM, configured with 256 logical cpus.

case. So let's make it clearer that this is all about migration of

"compaction".

Let's stop using the page lock in balloon code and instead use only the
balloon_device_lock.
As soon as we set the PG_movable_ops flag, we might now get isolation
callbacks for that page as we are no longer holding the page lock. In
there, we'll simply synchronize using the balloon_device_lock.
So in balloon_page_isolate() lookup the balloon_dev_info through
page->private under balloon_device_lock.
It's crucial that we update page->private under the balloon_device_lock,
so the isolation callback can properly deal with concurrent deflation.
Consequently, make sure that balloon_page_finalize() is called under
balloon_device_lock as we remove a page from the list and clear
page->private. balloon_page_insert() is already called with the
balloon_device_lock held.
Note that the core will still lock the pages, for example in
isolate_movable_ops_page(). The lock is there still relevant for handling
the PageMovableOpsIsolated flag, but that can be later changed to use an
atomic test-and-set instead, or moved into the movable_ops backends.

In order to remove the dependency on the page lock for balloon pages, we
need a lock that is independent of the page.
It's crucial that we can handle the scenario where balloon deflation
(clearing page->private) can race with page isolation (using page->private
to obtain the balloon_dev_info where the lock currently resides).
The current lock in balloon_dev_info is therefore not suitable.
Fortunately, we never really have more than a single balloon device per
VM, so we can just keep it simple and use a static lock to protect all
balloon devices.
Based on this change we will remove the dependency on the page lock next.

Let's centralize it, by allowing for the driver to enable this handling
through a new flag (bool for now) in the balloon device info.
Note that we now adjust the counter when adding/removing a page into the
balloon list: when removing a page to deflate it, it will now happen
before the driver communicated with hypervisor, not afterwards.
This shouldn't make a difference in practice.
