During our experiment with zswap, we sometimes observe swap IOs due to
occasional zswap store failures and writebacks-to-swap. These swapping
IOs prevent many users who cannot tolerate swapping from adopting zswap to
save memory and improve performance where possible.
This patch adds the option to disable this behavior entirely: do not
writeback to backing swapping device when a zswap store attempt fail, and
do not write pages in the zswap pool back to the backing swap device (both
when the pool is full, and when the new zswap shrinker is called).
This new behavior can be opted-in/out on a per-cgroup basis via a new
cgroup file. By default, writebacks to swap device is enabled, which is
the previous behavior. Initially, writeback is enabled for the root
cgroup, and a newly created cgroup will inherit the current setting of its
parent.
Note that this is subtly different from setting memory.swap.max to 0, as
it still allows for pages to be stored in the zswap pool (which itself
consumes swap space in its current form).
This patch should be applied on top of the zswap shrinker series:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20231130194023.4102148-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/
as it also disables the zswap shrinker, a major source of zswap
writebacks.
For the most part, this feature is motivated by internal parties who
have already established their opinions regarding swapping - the
workloads that are highly sensitive to IO, and especially those who are
using servers with really slow disk performance (for instance, massive
but slow HDDs). For these folks, it's impossible to convince them to
even entertain zswap if swapping also comes as a packaged deal.
Writeback disabling is quite a useful feature in these situations - on
a mixed workloads deployment, they can disable writeback for the more
IO-sensitive workloads, and enable writeback for other background
workloads.
For instance, on a server with HDD, I allocate memories and populate
them with random values (so that zswap store will always fail), and
specify memory.high low enough to trigger reclaim. The time it takes
to allocate the memories and just read through it a couple of times
(doing silly things like computing the values' average etc.):
zswap.writeback disabled:
real 0m30.537s
user 0m23.687s
sys 0m6.637s
0 pages swapped in
0 pages swapped out
zswap.writeback enabled:
real 0m45.061s
user 0m24.310s
sys 0m8.892s
712686 pages swapped in
461093 pages swapped out
(the last two lines are from vmstat -s).

Let's convert it like we converted all the other rmap functions. Don't
introduce folio_try_share_anon_rmap_ptes() for now, as we don't have a
user that wants rmap batching in sight. Pretty easy to add later.
All users are easy to convert -- only ksm.c doesn't use folios yet but
that is left for future work -- so let's just do it in a single shot.
While at it, turn the BUG_ON into a WARN_ON_ONCE.
Note that page_try_share_anon_rmap() so far didn't care about pte/pmd
mappings (no compound parameter). We're changing that so we can perform
better sanity checks and make the code actually more readable/consistent.
For example, __folio_rmap_sanity_checks() will make sure that a PMD range
actually falls completely into the folio.

Let's mimic what we did with folio_add_file_rmap_*() and
folio_add_anon_rmap_*() so we can similarly replace page_remove_rmap()
next.
Make the compiler always special-case on the granularity by using
__always_inline.
We're adding folio_remove_rmap_ptes() handling right away, as we want to
use that soon for batching rmap operations when unmapping PTE-mapped large

Make the compiler always special-case on the granularity by using

For the PageAnonExclusive sanity checks, when adding a PMD mapping, we're

remove as soon as page_add_anon_rmap() is gone.

folio_add_file_rmap_[pte|ptes|pmd]()
Let's get rid of the compound parameter and instead define explicitly
which mappings we're adding. That is more future proof, easier to read
and harder to mess up.
Use an enum to express the granularity internally. Make the compiler
always special-case on the granularity by using __always_inline. Replace
the "compound" check by a switch-case that will be removed by the compiler
completely.
Add plenty of sanity checks with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM. Replace the
folio_test_pmd_mappable() check by a config check in the caller and sanity
checks. Convert the single user of folio_add_file_rmap_range().
While at it, consistently use "int" instead of "unisgned int" in rmap code
when dealing with mapcounts and the number of pages.
This function design can later easily be extended to PUDs and to batch
PMDs. Note that for now we don't support anything bigger than PMD-sized
folios (as we cleanly separated hugetlb handling). Sanity checks will
catch if that ever changes.
Next up is removing page_remove_rmap() along with its "compound" parameter
and smilarly converting all other rmap functions.

hugetlb rmap handling differs quite a lot from "ordinary" rmap code. For
example, hugetlb currently only supports entire mappings, and treats any
mapping as mapped using a single "logical PTE". Let's move it out of the
way so we can overhaul our "ordinary" rmap. implementation/interface.
So let's introduce and use hugetlb_try_dup_anon_rmap() to make all hugetlb
handling use dedicated hugetlb_* rmap functions.
Add sanity checks that we end up with the right folios in the right
functions.
Note that try_to_unmap_one() does not need care. Easy to spot because
among all that nasty hugetlb special-casing in that function, we're not
using set_huge_pte_at() on the anon path -- well, and that code assumes
that we would want to swapout.

Patch series "mm/rmap: interface overhaul", v2.
This series overhauls the rmap interface, to get rid of the "bool
compound" / RMAP_COMPOUND parameter with the goal of making the interface
less error prone, more future proof, and more natural to extend to
"batching". Also, this converts the interface to always consume
folio+subpage, which speeds up operations on large folios.
Further, this series adds PTE-batching variants for 4 rmap functions,
whereby only folio_add_anon_rmap_ptes() is used for batching in this
series when PTE-remapping a PMD-mapped THP. folio_remove_rmap_ptes(),
folio_try_dup_anon_rmap_ptes() and folio_dup_file_rmap_ptes() will soon
come in handy[1,2].
This series performs a lot of folio conversion along the way. Most of the
added LOC in the diff are only due to documentation.
As we're moving to a pte/pmd interface where we clearly express the
mapping granularity we are dealing with, we first get the remainder of
hugetlb out of the way, as it is special and expected to remain special:
it treats everything as a "single logical PTE" and only currently allows
entire mappings.
Even if we'd ever support partial mappings, I strongly assume the
interface and implementation will still differ heavily: hopefull we can
avoid working on subpages/subpage mapcounts completely and only add a
"count" parameter for them to enable batching.
New (extended) hugetlb interface that operates on entire folio:
* hugetlb_add_new_anon_rmap() -> Already existed
* hugetlb_add_anon_rmap() -> Already existed
* hugetlb_try_dup_anon_rmap()
* hugetlb_try_share_anon_rmap()
* hugetlb_add_file_rmap()
* hugetlb_remove_rmap()
New "ordinary" interface for small folios / THP::
* folio_add_new_anon_rmap() -> Already existed
* folio_add_anon_rmap_[pte|ptes|pmd]()
* folio_try_dup_anon_rmap_[pte|ptes|pmd]()
* folio_try_share_anon_rmap_[pte|pmd]()
* folio_add_file_rmap_[pte|ptes|pmd]()
* folio_dup_file_rmap_[pte|ptes|pmd]()
* folio_remove_rmap_[pte|ptes|pmd]()
folio_add_new_anon_rmap() will always map at the largest granularity
possible (currently, a single PMD to cover a PMD-sized THP). Could be
extended if ever required.
In the future, we might want "_pud" variants and eventually "_pmds"
variants for batching.
I ran some simple microbenchmarks on an Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4210R:
measuring munmap(), fork(), cow, MADV_DONTNEED on each PTE ... and PTE
remapping PMD-mapped THPs on 1 GiB of memory.
For small folios, there is barely a change (< 1% improvement for me).
For PTE-mapped THP:
* PTE-remapping a PMD-mapped THP is more than 10% faster.
* fork() is more than 4% faster.
* MADV_DONTNEED is 2% faster
* COW when writing only a single byte on a COW-shared PTE is 1% faster
* munmap() barely changes (< 1%).

This patch (of 40):
Let's just call it "hugetlb_".
Yes, it's all already inconsistent and confusing because we have a lot of
"hugepage_" functions for legacy reasons. But "hugetlb" cannot possibly
be confused with transparent huge pages, and it matches "hugetlb.c" and
"folio_test_hugetlb()". So let's minimize confusion in rmap code.

Use the KASAN_TAG_KERNEL marco instead of open-coding 0xff in the mm code.
This macro is provided by include/linux/kasan-tags.h, which does not
include any other headers, so it's safe to include it into mm.h without
causing circular include dependencies.

The below race is observed on a PFN which falls into the device memory
region with the system memory configuration where PFN's are such that
[ZONE_NORMAL ZONE_DEVICE ZONE_NORMAL]. Since normal zone start and end
pfn contains the device memory PFN's as well, the compaction triggered
will try on the device memory PFN's too though they end up in NOP(because
pfn_to_online_page() returns NULL for ZONE_DEVICE memory sections). When
from other core, the section mappings are being removed for the
ZONE_DEVICE region, that the PFN in question belongs to, on which
compaction is currently being operated is resulting into the kernel crash
with CONFIG_SPASEMEM_VMEMAP enabled. The crash logs can be seen at [1].
compact_zone() memunmap_pages
------------- ---------------
__pageblock_pfn_to_page
......
(a)pfn_valid():
valid_section()//return true
(b)__remove_pages()->
sparse_remove_section()->
section_deactivate():
[Free the array ms->usage and set
ms->usage = NULL]
pfn_section_valid()
[Access ms->usage which
is NULL]
NOTE: From the above it can be said that the race is reduced to between
the pfn_valid()/pfn_section_valid() and the section deactivate with
SPASEMEM_VMEMAP enabled.
The commit b943f045a9af("mm/sparse: fix kernel crash with
pfn_section_valid check") tried to address the same problem by clearing
the SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP with the expectation of valid_section() returns
false thus ms->usage is not accessed.
Fix this issue by the below steps:
a) Clear SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP before freeing the ->usage.
b) RCU protected read side critical section will either return NULL
when SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP is cleared or can successfully access ->usage.
c) Free the ->usage with kfree_rcu() and set ms->usage = NULL. No
attempt will be made to access ->usage after this as the
SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP is cleared thus valid_section() return false.
Thanks to David/Pavan for their inputs on this patch.

Commit e6be37b2e7bd ("mm/huge_memory.c: add missing read-only THP checking
in transparent_hugepage_enabled()") introduced the VM_EXEC requirement,
which is not strictly needed.
lld's default --rosegment option and GNU ld's -z separate-code option
(default on Linux/x86 since binutils 2.31) create a read-only PT_LOAD
segment without the PF_X flag, which should be eligible for THP.
Certain architectures support medium and large code models, where .lrodata
may be placed in a separate read-only PT_LOAD segment, which should be
eligible for THP as well.

Rename kasan_unpoison_object_data to kasan_unpoison_new_object and add a
documentation comment. Do the same for kasan_poison_object_data.
The new names and the comments should suggest the users that these hooks
are intended for internal use by the slab allocator.
The following patch will remove non-slab-internal uses of these hooks.

Introduce a new mempool_alloc_preallocated API that asks the mempool to
only use the elements preallocated during the mempool's creation when
allocating and to not attempt allocating new ones from the underlying
allocator.
This API is required to test the KASAN poisoning/unpoisoning functionality
in KASAN tests, but it might be also useful on its own.

Patch series "kasan: save mempool stack traces".
This series updates KASAN to save alloc and free stack traces for
secondary-level allocators that cache and reuse allocations internally
instead of giving them back to the underlying allocator (e.g. mempool).
As a part of this change, introduce and document a set of KASAN hooks:
bool kasan_mempool_poison_pages(struct page *page, unsigned int order);
void kasan_mempool_unpoison_pages(struct page *page, unsigned int order);
bool kasan_mempool_poison_object(void *ptr);
void kasan_mempool_unpoison_object(void *ptr, size_t size);
and use them in the mempool code.
Besides mempool, skbuff and io_uring also cache allocations and already
use KASAN hooks to poison those. Their code is updated to use the new
mempool hooks.
The new hooks save alloc and free stack traces (for normal kmalloc and
slab objects; stack traces for large kmalloc objects and page_alloc are
not supported by KASAN yet), improve the readability of the users' code,
and also allow the users to prevent double-free and invalid-free bugs; see
the patches for the details.
This patch (of 21):
Rename kasan_slab_free_mempool to kasan_mempool_poison_object.
kasan_slab_free_mempool is a slightly confusing name: it is unclear
whether this function poisons the object when it is freed into mempool or
does something when the object is freed from mempool to the underlying
allocator.
The new name also aligns with other mempool-related KASAN hooks added in
the following patches in this series.

Patch series "Clean up the writeback paths".
Most of these patches verge on the trivial, converting filesystems that
just use block_write_full_page() to use mpage_writepages(). But as we saw
with Christoph's earlier patchset, there can be some "interesting"
gotchas, and I clearly haven't tested the majority of filesystems I've
touched here.
Patches 3 & 4 get rid of a lot of stack usage on architectures with larger
page sizes; 1024 bytes on 64-bit systems with 64KiB pages. It starts to
open the door to larger folio sizes on all architectures, but it's
certainly not enough yet.
Patch 14 is kind of trivial, but it's nice to get that simplification in.
This patch (of 14):
This function has been unused since the removal of bdev_write_page().

Patch series "More swap folio conversions".
These all seem like fairly straightforward conversions to me. A lot of
compound_head() calls get removed. And page_swap_info(), which is nice.
This patch (of 13):
Move the folio->page conversion into the callers that actually want that.
Most of the callers are happier with the folio anyway. If the
page_allocated boolean is set, the folio allocated is of order-0, so it is
safe to pass the page directly to swap_readpage().

First of all, we need to rename acomp_ctx->dstmem field to buffer, since
we are now using for purposes other than compression.
Then we change per-cpu mutex and buffer to per-acomp_ctx, since them
belong to the acomp_ctx and are necessary parts when used in the
compress/decompress contexts.
So we can remove the old per-cpu mutex and dstmem.

Patch series "Finish two folio conversions".
Most callers of page_add_new_anon_rmap() and
lru_cache_add_inactive_or_unevictable() have been converted to their folio
equivalents, but there are still a few stragglers. There's a bit of
preparatory work in ksm and unuse_pte(), but after that it's pretty
mechanical.
This patch (of 9):
Accept a folio as an argument and return a folio result. Removes a call
to compound_head() in do_swap_page(), and prevents folio & page from
getting out of sync in unuse_pte().

Implement the uABI of UFFDIO_MOVE ioctl.
UFFDIO_COPY performs ~20% better than UFFDIO_MOVE when the application
needs pages to be allocated [1]. However, with UFFDIO_MOVE, if pages are
available (in userspace) for recycling, as is usually the case in heap
compaction algorithms, then we can avoid the page allocation and memcpy
(done by UFFDIO_COPY). Also, since the pages are recycled in the
userspace, we avoid the need to release (via madvise) the pages back to
the kernel [2].
We see over 40% reduction (on a Google pixel 6 device) in the compacting
thread's completion time by using UFFDIO_MOVE vs. UFFDIO_COPY. This was
measured using a benchmark that emulates a heap compaction implementation
using userfaultfd (to allow concurrent accesses by application threads).
More details of the usecase are explained in [2]. Furthermore,
UFFDIO_MOVE enables moving swapped-out pages without touching them within
the same vma. Today, it can only be done by mremap, however it forces
splitting the vma.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/1425575884-2574-1-git-send-email-aarcange@redhat.com/

Update for the ioctl_userfaultfd(2) manpage:
UFFDIO_MOVE
(Since Linux xxx) Move a continuous memory chunk into the
userfault registered range and optionally wake up the blocked
thread. The source and destination addresses and the number of
bytes to move are specified by the src, dst, and len fields of
the uffdio_move structure pointed to by argp:
struct uffdio_move {
__u64 dst; /* Destination of move */
__u64 src; /* Source of move */
__u64 len; /* Number of bytes to move */
__u64 mode; /* Flags controlling behavior of move */
__s64 move; /* Number of bytes moved, or negated error */
};
The following value may be bitwise ORed in mode to change the
behavior of the UFFDIO_MOVE operation:
UFFDIO_MOVE_MODE_DONTWAKE
Do not wake up the thread that waits for page-fault
resolution
UFFDIO_MOVE_MODE_ALLOW_SRC_HOLES
Allow holes in the source virtual range that is being moved.
When not specified, the holes will result in ENOENT error.
When specified, the holes will be accounted as successfully
moved memory. This is mostly useful to move hugepage aligned
virtual regions without knowing if there are transparent
hugepages in the regions or not, but preventing the risk of
having to split the hugepage during the operation.
The move field is used by the kernel to return the number of
bytes that was actually moved, or an error (a negated errno-
style value). If the value returned in move doesn't match the
value that was specified in len, the operation fails with the
error EAGAIN. The move field is output-only; it is not read by
the UFFDIO_MOVE operation.
The operation may fail for various reasons. Usually, remapping of
pages that are not exclusive to the given process fail; once KSM
might deduplicate pages or fork() COW-shares pages during fork()
with child processes, they are no longer exclusive. Further, the
kernel might only perform lightweight checks for detecting whether
the pages are exclusive, and return -EBUSY in case that check fails.
To make the operation more likely to succeed, KSM should be
disabled, fork() should be avoided or MADV_DONTFORK should be
configured for the source VMA before fork().
This ioctl(2) operation returns 0 on success. In this case, the
entire area was moved. On error, -1 is returned and errno is
set to indicate the error. Possible errors include:
EAGAIN The number of bytes moved (i.e., the value returned in
the move field) does not equal the value that was
specified in the len field.
EINVAL Either dst or len was not a multiple of the system page
size, or the range specified by src and len or dst and len
was invalid.
EINVAL An invalid bit was specified in the mode field.
ENOENT
The source virtual memory range has unmapped holes and
UFFDIO_MOVE_MODE_ALLOW_SRC_HOLES is not set.
EEXIST
The destination virtual memory range is fully or partially
mapped.
EBUSY
The pages in the source virtual memory range are either
pinned or not exclusive to the process. The kernel might
only perform lightweight checks for detecting whether the
pages are exclusive. To make the operation more likely to
succeed, KSM should be disabled, fork() should be avoided
or MADV_DONTFORK should be configured for the source virtual
memory area before fork().
ENOMEM Allocating memory needed for the operation failed.
ESRCH
The target process has exited at the time of a UFFDIO_MOVE
operation.

Introduce the logic to allow THP to be configured (through the new sysfs
interface we just added) to allocate large folios to back anonymous
memory, which are larger than the base page size but smaller than
PMD-size. We call this new THP extension "multi-size THP" (mTHP).
mTHP continues to be PTE-mapped, but in many cases can still provide
similar benefits to traditional PMD-sized THP: Page faults are
significantly reduced (by a factor of e.g. 4, 8, 16, etc. depending on
the configured order), but latency spikes are much less prominent because
the size of each page isn't as huge as the PMD-sized variant and there is
less memory to clear in each page fault. The number of per-page
operations (e.g. ref counting, rmap management, lru list management) are
also significantly reduced since those ops now become per-folio.
Some architectures also employ TLB compression mechanisms to squeeze more
entries in when a set of PTEs are virtually and physically contiguous and
approporiately aligned. In this case, TLB misses will occur less often.
The new behaviour is disabled by default, but can be enabled at runtime by
writing to /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepage-XXkb/enabled (see
documentation in previous commit). The long term aim is to change the
default to include suitable lower orders, but there are some risks around
internal fragmentation that need to be better understood first.

In preparation for adding support for anonymous multi-size THP, introduce
new sysfs structure that will be used to control the new behaviours. A
new directory is added under transparent_hugepage for each supported THP
size, and contains an `enabled` file, which can be set to "inherit" (to
inherit the global setting), "always", "madvise" or "never". For now, the
kernel still only supports PMD-sized anonymous THP, so only 1 directory is
populated.
The first half of the change converts transhuge_vma_suitable() and
hugepage_vma_check() so that they take a bitfield of orders for which the
user wants to determine support, and the functions filter out all the
orders that can't be supported, given the current sysfs configuration and
the VMA dimensions. The resulting functions are renamed to
thp_vma_suitable_orders() and thp_vma_allowable_orders() respectively.
Convenience functions that take a single, unencoded order and return a
boolean are also defined as thp_vma_suitable_order() and
thp_vma_allowable_order().
The second half of the change implements the new sysfs interface. It has
been done so that each supported THP size has a `struct thpsize`, which
describes the relevant metadata and is itself a kobject. This is pretty
minimal for now, but should make it easy to add new per-thpsize files to
the interface if needed in future (e.g. per-size defrag). Rather than
keep the `enabled` state directly in the struct thpsize, I've elected to
directly encode it into huge_anon_orders_[always|madvise|inherit]
bitfields since this reduces the amount of work required in
thp_vma_allowable_orders() which is called for every page fault.
See Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst, as modified by this
commit, for details of how the new sysfs interface works.

Stats flushing for memcg currently follows the following rules:
- Always flush the entire memcg hierarchy (i.e. flush the root).
- Only one flusher is allowed at a time. If someone else tries to flush
concurrently, they skip and return immediately.
- A periodic flusher flushes all the stats every 2 seconds.
The reason this approach is followed is because all flushes are serialized
by a global rstat spinlock. On the memcg side, flushing is invoked from
userspace reads as well as in-kernel flushers (e.g. reclaim, refault,
etc). This approach aims to avoid serializing all flushers on the global
lock, which can cause a significant performance hit under high
concurrency.
This approach has the following problems:
- Occasionally a userspace read of the stats of a non-root cgroup will
be too expensive as it has to flush the entire hierarchy [1].
- Sometimes the stats accuracy are compromised if there is an ongoing
flush, and we skip and return before the subtree of interest is
actually flushed, yielding stale stats (by up to 2s due to periodic
flushing). This is more visible when reading stats from userspace,
but can also affect in-kernel flushers.
The latter problem is particulary a concern when userspace reads stats
after an event occurs, but gets stats from before the event. Examples:
- When memory usage / pressure spikes, a userspace OOM handler may look
at the stats of different memcgs to select a victim based on various
heuristics (e.g. how much private memory will be freed by killing
this). Reading stale stats from before the usage spike in this case
may cause a wrongful OOM kill.
- A proactive reclaimer may read the stats after writing to
memory.reclaim to measure the success of the reclaim operation. Stale
stats from before reclaim may give a false negative.
- Reading the stats of a parent and a child memcg may be inconsistent
(child larger than parent), if the flush doesn't happen when the
parent is read, but happens when the child is read.
As for in-kernel flushers, they will occasionally get stale stats. No
regressions are currently known from this, but if there are regressions,
they would be very difficult to debug and link to the source of the
problem.
This patch aims to fix these problems by restoring subtree flushing, and
removing the unified/coalesced flushing logic that skips flushing if there
is an ongoing flush. This change would introduce a significant regression
with global stats flushing thresholds. With per-memcg stats flushing
thresholds, this seems to perform really well. The thresholds protect the
underlying lock from unnecessary contention.
This patch was tested in two ways to ensure the latency of flushing is
up to par, on a machine with 384 cpus:
- A synthetic test with 5000 concurrent workers in 500 cgroups doing
allocations and reclaim, as well as 1000 readers for memory.stat
(variation of [2]). No regressions were noticed in the total runtime.
Note that significant regressions in this test are observed with
global stats thresholds, but not with per-memcg thresholds.
- A synthetic stress test for concurrently reading memcg stats while
memory allocation/freeing workers are running in the background,
provided by Wei Xu [3]. With 250k threads reading the stats every
100ms in 50k cgroups, 99.9% of reads take <= 50us. Less than 0.01%
of reads take more than 1ms, and no reads take more than 100ms.

In the effort to reduce zombie memcgs [1], it was discovered that the
memcg LRU doesn't apply enough pressure on offlined memcgs. Specifically,
instead of rotating them to the tail of the current generation
(MEMCG_LRU_TAIL) for a second attempt, it moves them to the next
generation (MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG) after the first attempt.
Not applying enough pressure on offlined memcgs can cause them to build
up, and this can be particularly harmful to memory-constrained systems.
