Remove the checks for the VMA lock being held, allowing the page fault
path to call into the filesystem instead of retrying with the mmap_lock
held. This will improve scalability for DAX page faults. Also update the
documentation to match (and fix some other changes that have happened
recently).

Since pte_index is always defined, we don't need to check whether it's
defined or not. Delete the slow version that doesn't depend on it and
remove the #define since nobody needs to test for it.

__mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap is only called in mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap, if
mem cgroup is disabled, __mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap cannot be called.
Therefore, there is no need to judge whether mem_cgroup is disabled or
not.

folio
Let's work on folio->swap instead. While at it, use folio_test_anon() and
folio_test_swapcache() -- the original folio remains valid even after
splitting (but is then an order-0 folio).
We can probably convert a lot more to folios in that code, let's focus on
folio->swap handling only for now.

Patch series "mm/swap: stop using page->private on tail pages for THP_SWAP
+ cleanups".
This series stops using page->private on tail pages for THP_SWAP, replaces
folio->private by folio->swap for swapcache folios, and starts using
"new_folio" for tail pages that we are splitting to remove the usage of
page->private for swapcache handling completely.
This patch (of 4):
Let's stop using page->private on tail pages, making it possible to just
unconditionally reuse that field in the tail pages of large folios.
The remaining usage of the private field for THP_SWAP is in the THP
splitting code (mm/huge_memory.c), that we'll handle separately later.
Update the THP_SWAP documentation and sanity checks in mm_types.h and
__split_huge_page_tail().

to read fault testing. Trying to upstream it to will-it-scale at [1]) got
15% performance gain on a 48C/96T Cascade Lake test box with 96 processes

Currently, memcg uses rstat to maintain aggregated hierarchical stats.
Counters are maintained for hierarchical stats at each memcg. Rstat
tracks which cgroups have updates on which cpus to keep those counters
fresh on the read-side.
Non-hierarchical stats are currently not covered by rstat. Their per-cpu
counters are summed up on every read, which is expensive. The original
implementation did the same. At some point before rstat, non-hierarchical
aggregated counters were introduced by commit a983b5ebee57 ("mm:
memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in memory.stat reporting"). However,
those counters were updated on the performance critical write-side, which
caused regressions, so they were later removed by commit 815744d75152
("mm: memcontrol: don't batch updates of local VM stats and events"). See
[1] for more detailed history.
Kernel versions in between a983b5ebee57 & 815744d75152 (a year and a half)
enjoyed cheap reads of non-hierarchical stats, specifically on cgroup v1.
When moving to more recent kernels, a performance regression for reading
non-hierarchical stats is observed.
Now that we have rstat, we know exactly which percpu counters have updates
for each stat. We can maintain non-hierarchical counters again, making
reads much more efficient, without affecting the performance critical
write-side. Hence, add non-hierarchical (i.e local) counters for the
stats, and extend rstat flushing to keep those up-to-date.
A caveat is that we now need a stats flush before reading
local/non-hierarchical stats through {memcg/lruvec}_page_state_local() or
memcg_events_local(), where we previously only needed a flush to read
hierarchical stats. Most contexts reading non-hierarchical stats are
already doing a flush, add a flush to the only missing context in
count_shadow_nodes().
With this patch, reading memory.stat from 1000 memcgs is 3x faster on a
machine with 256 cpus on cgroup v1:
# for i in $(seq 1000); do mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/cg$i; done
# time cat /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/cg*/memory.stat > /dev/null
real 0m0.125s
user 0m0.005s
sys 0m0.120s
After:
real 0m0.032s
user 0m0.005s
sys 0m0.027s
To make sure there are no regressions on cgroup v2, I ran an artificial
reclaim/refault stress test [2] that creates (NR_CPUS * 2) cgroups,
assigns them limits, runs a worker process in each cgroup that allocates
tmpfs memory equal to quadruple the limit (to invoke reclaim
continuously), and then reads back the entire file (to invoke refaults).
All workers are run in parallel, and zram is used as a swapping backend.
Both reclaim and refault have conditional stats flushing. I ran this on a
machine with 112 cpus, once on mm-unstable, and once on mm-unstable with
this patch reverted.
(1) A few runs without this patch:
# time ./stress_reclaim_refault.sh
real 0m9.949s
user 0m0.496s
sys 14m44.974s
# time ./stress_reclaim_refault.sh
real 0m10.049s
user 0m0.486s
sys 14m55.791s
# time ./stress_reclaim_refault.sh
real 0m9.984s
user 0m0.481s
sys 14m53.841s
(2) A few runs with this patch:
# time ./stress_reclaim_refault.sh
real 0m9.885s
user 0m0.486s
sys 14m48.753s
# time ./stress_reclaim_refault.sh

# time ./stress_reclaim_refault.sh
real 0m9.861s
user 0m0.507s
sys 14m49.317s
No regressions are observed with this patch. There is actually a very
slight improvement. If I have to guess, maybe it's because we avoid
the percpu loop in count_shadow_nodes() when calling
lruvec_page_state_local(), but I could not prove this using perf, it's
probably in the noise.

Enable handle_userfault to operate under VMA lock by releasing VMA lock
instead of mmap_lock and retrying. Note that FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT
should never be used when handling faults under per-VMA lock protection
because that would break the assumption that lock is dropped on retry.

When page fault is handled under per-VMA lock protection, all swap page
faults are retried with mmap_lock because folio_lock_or_retry has to drop
and reacquire mmap_lock if folio could not be immediately locked. Follow
the same pattern as mmap_lock to drop per-VMA lock when waiting for folio
and retrying once folio is available.
With this obstacle removed, enable do_swap_page to operate under per-VMA
lock protection. Drivers implementing ops->migrate_to_ram might still
rely on mmap_lock, therefore we have to fall back to mmap_lock in that
particular case.
Note that the only time do_swap_page calls synchronous swap_readpage is
when SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO is set, which is only set for
QUEUE_FLAG_SYNCHRONOUS devices: brd, zram and nvdimms (both btt and pmem).
Therefore we don't sleep in this path, and there's no need to drop the
mmap or per-VMA lock.

handle_mm_fault returning VM_FAULT_RETRY or VM_FAULT_COMPLETED means
mmap_lock has been released. However with per-VMA locks behavior is
different and the caller should still release it. To make the rules
consistent for the caller, drop the per-VMA lock when returning
VM_FAULT_RETRY or VM_FAULT_COMPLETED. Currently the only path returning
VM_FAULT_RETRY under per-VMA locks is do_swap_page and no path returns
VM_FAULT_COMPLETED for now.

Patch series "Per-VMA lock support for swap and userfaults", v7.
When per-VMA locks were introduced in [1] several types of page faults
would still fall back to mmap_lock to keep the patchset simple. Among
them are swap and userfault pages. The main reason for skipping those
cases was the fact that mmap_lock could be dropped while handling these
faults and that required additional logic to be implemented. Implement
the mechanism to allow per-VMA locks to be dropped for these cases.
First, change handle_mm_fault to drop per-VMA locks when returning
VM_FAULT_RETRY or VM_FAULT_COMPLETED to be consistent with the way
mmap_lock is handled. Then change folio_lock_or_retry to accept vm_fault
and return vm_fault_t which simplifies later patches. Finally allow swap
and uffd page faults to be handled under per-VMA locks by dropping per-VMA
and retrying, the same way it's done under mmap_lock. Naturally, once VMA
lock is dropped that VMA should be assumed unstable and can't be used.
This patch (of 6):
Commit [1] introduced IO polling support duding swapin to reduce swap read
latency for block devices that can be polled. However later commit [2]
removed polling support. Therefore it seems safe to remove do_poll

Jann Horn demonstrated how userfaultfd ioctl UFFDIO_COPY into a private
shmem mapping can add valid PTEs to page table collapse_pte_mapped_thp()
thought it had emptied: page lock on the huge page is enough to protect
against WP faults (which find the PTE has been cleared), but not enough to
protect against userfaultfd. "BUG: Bad rss-counter state" followed.
retract_page_tables() protects against this by checking !vma->anon_vma;
but we know that MADV_COLLAPSE needs to be able to work on private shmem
mappings, even those with an anon_vma prepared for another part of the
mapping; and we know that MADV_COLLAPSE needs to work on shared shmem
mappings which are userfaultfd_armed(). Whether it needs to work on
private shmem mappings which are userfaultfd_armed(), I'm not so sure: but
assume that it does.
Just for this case, take the pmd_lock() two steps earlier: not because it
gives any protection against this case itself, but because ptlock nests
inside it, and it's the dropping of ptlock which let the bug in. In other
cases, continue to minimize the pmd_lock() hold time.

table lock held: but shmem_partial_swap_usage() does cond_resched_rcu() if

Since shmem_partial_swap_usage() is designed to count across a range, but

for sharing check
Commit 98b211d6415f ("madvise: convert madvise_free_pte_range() to use a
folio") replaced the page_mapcount() with folio_mapcount() to check
whether the folio is shared by other mapping.
It's not correct for large folios. folio_mapcount() returns the total
mapcount of large folio which is not suitable to detect whether the folio
is shared.
Use folio_estimated_sharers() which returns a estimated number of shares.
That means it's not 100% correct. It should be OK for madvise case here.
User-visible effects is that the THP is skipped when user call madvise.
But the correct behavior is THP should be split and processed then.
NOTE: this change is a temporary fix to reduce the user-visible effects
before the long term fix from David is ready.

large folio for sharing check
Patch series "don't use mapcount() to check large folio sharing", v2.
In madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() and madvise_free_pte_range(),
folio_mapcount() is used to check whether the folio is shared. But it's
not correct as folio_mapcount() returns total mapcount of large folio.
Use folio_estimated_sharers() here as the estimated number is enough.
This patchset will fix the cases:
User space application call madvise() with MADV_FREE, MADV_COLD and
MADV_PAGEOUT for specific address range. There are THP mapped to the
range. Without the patchset, the THP is skipped. With the patch, the
THP will be split and handled accordingly.
David reported the cow self test skip some cases because of MADV_PAGEOUT
skip THP:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/9e92e42d-488f-47db-ac9d-75b24cd0d037@intel.com/T/#mbf0f2ec7fbe45da47526de1d7036183981691e81
and I confirmed this patchset make it work again.
This patch (of 3):
Commit 07e8c82b5eff ("madvise: convert madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range()

check whether the folio is shared by other mapping.

Commit 0b9d705297b2 ("mm: numa: Support NUMA hinting page faults from
gup/gup_fast") from 2012 documented as the primary reason why we would want
to handle NUMA hinting faults from GUP:
KVM secondary MMU page faults will trigger the NUMA hinting page
faults through gup_fast -> get_user_pages -> follow_page ->
handle_mm_fault.
That is still the case today, and relevant KVM code has been converted to
manually set FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT. So let's stop setting
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT for all GUP users and cross fingers that not that
many other ones that really require such handling for autonuma remain.
Possible interaction with MMU notifiers:
Assume a driver obtains a page using get_user_pages() to map it into
a secondary MMU, and uses the MMU notifier framework to get notified on
changes.
Assume get_user_pages() succeeded on a PROT_NONE-mapped page (because
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT is not set) in an accessible VMA and the page is
mapped into a secondary MMU. Once user space would turn that mapping
inaccessible using mprotect(PROT_NONE), the actual PTE in the page table
might not change. If the MMU notifier would be smart and optimize for that
case "why notify if the PTE didn't change", that could be problematic.
At least change_pmd_range() with MMU_NOTIFY_PROTECTION_VMA for now does an
unconditional mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() ->
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() and should be fine.
Note that even if a PTE in an accessible VMA is pte_protnone(), the
underlying page might be accessed by a secondary MMU that does not set
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT, and test_young() MMU notifiers would return "true".

ksm currently maintains several statistics, which let you determine how
successful KSM is at sharing pages. However it does not contain a metric
to determine how much work it does.
This commit adds the pages scanned metric. This allows the administrator
to determine how many pages have been scanned over a period of time.

Patch series "mm,thp: fix sloppy text output".
Three independent trivial patches, fixing sloppy text output which has
annoyed me; but might risk surprising a parser, so any can be dropped.
This patch (of 3):
The SysRq-m or OOM Mem-Info dmesg showed (long lines containing) ...
shmem:NkB shmem_thp: NkB shmem_pmdmapped: NkB anon_thp: NkB ...
Delete the space after the colon after shmem_thp, shmem_pmdmapped,
anon_thp: as the shmem example shows, no other fields have a space after
the colon in this output.

This sysctl has the very unusual behaviour of not allowing any user (even
CAP_SYS_ADMIN) to reduce the restriction setting, meaning that if you were
to set this sysctl to a more restrictive option in the host pidns you
would need to reboot your machine in order to reset it.
The justification given in [1] is that this is a security feature and thus
it should not be possible to disable. Aside from the fact that we have
plenty of security-related sysctls that can be disabled after being
enabled (fs.protected_symlinks for instance), the protection provided by
the sysctl is to stop users from being able to create a binary and then
execute it. A user with CAP_SYS_ADMIN can trivially do this without
memfd_create(2):
% cat mount-memfd.c
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <linux/mount.h>
#define SHELLCODE "#!/bin/echo this file was executed from this totally private tmpfs:"
int main(void)
{
int fsfd = fsopen("tmpfs", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC);
assert(fsfd >= 0);
assert(!fsconfig(fsfd, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE, NULL, NULL, 2));
int dfd = fsmount(fsfd, FSMOUNT_CLOEXEC, 0);
assert(dfd >= 0);
int execfd = openat(dfd, "exe", O_CREAT | O_RDWR | O_CLOEXEC, 0782);
assert(execfd >= 0);
assert(write(execfd, SHELLCODE, strlen(SHELLCODE)) == strlen(SHELLCODE));
assert(!close(execfd));
char *execpath = NULL;
char *argv[] = { "bad-exe", NULL }, *envp[] = { NULL };
execfd = openat(dfd, "exe", O_PATH | O_CLOEXEC);
assert(execfd >= 0);
assert(asprintf(&execpath, "/proc/self/fd/%d", execfd) > 0);
assert(!execve(execpath, argv, envp));
}
% ./mount-memfd
this file was executed from this totally private tmpfs: /proc/self/fd/5
%
Given that it is possible for CAP_SYS_ADMIN users to create executable
binaries without memfd_create(2) and without touching the host filesystem
(not to mention the many other things a CAP_SYS_ADMIN process would be
able to do that would be equivalent or worse), it seems strange to cause a
fair amount of headache to admins when there doesn't appear to be an
actual security benefit to blocking this. There appear to be concerns
about confused-deputy-esque attacks[2] but a confused deputy that can
write to arbitrary sysctls is a bigger security issue than executable
memfds.
/* New API */
The primary requirement from the original author appears to be more based
on the need to be able to restrict an entire system in a hierarchical
manner[3], such that child namespaces cannot re-enable executable memfds.
So, implement that behaviour explicitly -- the vm.memfd_noexec scope is
evaluated up the pidns tree to &init_pid_ns and you have the most
restrictive value applied to you. The new lower limit you can set
vm.memfd_noexec is whatever limit applies to your parent.
Note that a pidns will inherit a copy of the parent pidns's effective
vm.memfd_noexec setting at unshare() time. This matches the existing
behaviour, and it also ensures that a pidns will never have its
vm.memfd_noexec setting *lowered* behind its back (but it will be raised
if the parent raises theirs).
/* Backwards Compatibility */
As the previous version of the sysctl didn't allow you to lower the
setting at all, there are no backwards compatibility issues with this
aspect of the change.
However it should be noted that now that the setting is completely
hierarchical. Previously, a cloned pidns would just copy the current
pidns setting, meaning that if the parent's vm.memfd_noexec was changed it
wouldn't propoagate to existing pid namespaces. Now, the restriction
applies recursively. This is a uAPI change, however:
* The sysctl is very new, having been merged in 6.3.
* Several aspects of the sysctl were broken up until this patchset and
the other patchset by Jeff Xu last month.
And thus it seems incredibly unlikely that any real users would run into
this issue. In the worst case, if this causes userspace isues we could
make it so that modifying the setting follows the hierarchical rules but
the restriction checking uses the cached copy.

In order to incentivise userspace to switch to passing MFD_EXEC and
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL, we need to provide a warning on each attempt to call
memfd_create() without the new flags. pr_warn_once() is not useful
because on most systems the one warning is burned up during the boot
process (on my system, systemd does this within the first second of boot)
and thus userspace will in practice never see the warnings to push them to
switch to the new flags.
The original patchset[1] used pr_warn_ratelimited(), however there were
concerns about the degree of spam in the kernel log[2,3]. The resulting
inability to detect every case was flagged as an issue at the time[4].
While we could come up with an alternative rate-limiting scheme such as
only outputting the message if vm.memfd_noexec has been modified, or only
outputting the message once for a given task, these alternatives have
downsides that don't make sense given how low-stakes a single kernel
warning message is. Switching to pr_info_ratelimited() instead should be
fine -- it's possible some monitoring tool will be unhappy with a stream
of warning-level messages but there's already plenty of info-level message
spam in dmesg.

Given the difficulty of auditing all of userspace to figure out whether
every memfd_create() user has switched to passing MFD_EXEC and
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL flags, it seems far less distruptive to make it possible
for older programs that don't make use of executable memfds to run under
vm.memfd_noexec=2. Otherwise, a small dependency change can result in
spurious errors. For programs that don't use executable memfds, passing
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL is functionally a no-op and thus having the same
In addition, every failure under vm.memfd_noexec=2 needs to print to the
kernel log so that userspace can figure out where the error came from.
The concerns about pr_warn_ratelimited() spam that caused the switch to
pr_warn_once()[1,2] do not apply to the vm.memfd_noexec=2 case.
This is a user-visible API change, but as it allows programs to do
something that would be blocked before, and the sysctl itself was broken
and recently released, it seems unlikely this will cause any issues.
