mm/madvise: remove len parameter of madvise_do_behavior()
Because madise_should_skip() logic is factored out, making madvise_do_behavior() calculates 'len' on its own rather then receiving it as a parameter makes code simpler. Remove the parameter.

mm/madvise: deduplicate madvise_do_behavior() skip case handlings
The logic for checking if a given madvise() request for a single memory range can skip real work, namely madvise_do_behavior(), is duplicated in do_madvise() and vector_madvise().

mm/madvise: split out populate behavior check logic
madvise_do_behavior() has a long open-coded 'behavior' check for MADV_POPULATE_{READ,WRITE}. It adds multiple layers[1] and make the code arguably take longer time to read. Like is_memory_failure(), split out the check to a separate function. This is not technically removing the additional layer but discourage further extending the switch-case. Also it makes madvise_do_behavior() code shorter and therefore easier to read.

mm/madvise: use is_memory_failure() from madvise_do_behavior()
Patch series "mm/madvise: cleanup requests validations and classifications". Cleanup madvise entry level code for cleaner request validations and classifications. This patch (of 4): To reduce redundant open-coded checks of CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE and MADV_{HWPOISON,SOFT_OFFLINE} in madvise_[un]lock(), is_memory_failure() is introduced. madvise_do_behavior() is still doing the same open-coded check, though. Use is_memory_failure() instead. To avoid build failure on !CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE case, implement an empty madvise_inject_error() under the config. Also move the definition of is_memory_failure() inside #ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE clause for madvise_inject_error() definition, to reduce duplicated ifdef clauses.

mm: convert folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_shared()
Let's reuse our new MM ownership tracking infrastructure for large folios to make folio_likely_mapped_shared() never return false negatives -- never indicating "not mapped shared" although the folio *is* mapped shared. With that, we can rename it to folio_maybe_mapped_shared() and get rid of the dependency on the mapcount of the first folio page. The semantics are now arguably clearer: no mixture of "false negatives" and "false positives", only the remaining possibility for "false positives". Thoroughly document the new semantics. We might now detect that a large folio is "maybe mapped shared" although it *no longer* is -- but once was. Now, if more than two MMs mapped a folio at the same time, and the MM mapping the folio exclusively at the end is not one tracked in the two folio MM slots, we will detect the folio as "maybe mapped shared". For anonymous folios, usually (except weird corner cases) all PTEs that target a "maybe mapped shared" folio are R/O. As soon as a child process would write to them (iow, actively use them), we would CoW and effectively replace these PTEs. Most cases (below) are not expected to really matter with large anonymous folios for this reason. Most importantly, there will be no change at all for: * small folios * hugetlb folios * PMD-mapped PMD-sized THPs (single mapping) This change has the potential to affect existing callers of folio_likely_mapped_shared() -> folio_maybe_mapped_shared(): (1) fs/proc/task_mmu.c: no change (hugetlb) (2) khugepaged counts PTEs that target shared folios towards max_ptes_shared (default: HPAGE_PMD_NR / 2), meaning we could skip a collapse where we would have previously collapsed. This only applies to anonymous folios and is not expected to matter in practice. Worth noting that this change sorts out case (A) documented in commit 1bafe96e89f0 ("mm/khugepaged: replace page_mapcount() check by folio_likely_mapped_shared()") by removing the possibility for "false negatives". (3) MADV_COLD / MADV_PAGEOUT / MADV_FREE will not try splitting PTE-mapped THPs that are considered shared but not fully covered by the requested range, consequently not processing them. PMD-mapped PMD-sized THP are not affected, or when all PTEs are covered. These functions are usually only called on anon/file folios that are exclusively mapped most of the time (no other file mappings or no fork()), so the "false negatives" are not expected to matter in practice. (4) mbind() / migrate_pages() / move_pages() will refuse to migrate shared folios unless MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is effective (requires CAP_SYS_NICE). We will now reject some folios that could be migrated. Similar to (3), especially with MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL, so this is not expected to matter in practice. Note that cpuset_migrate_mm_workfn() calls do_migrate_pages() with MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL. (5) NUMA hinting mm/migrate.c:migrate_misplaced_folio_prepare() will skip file folios that are probably shared libraries (-> "mapped shared" and executable). This check would have detected it as a shared library at some point (at least 3 MMs mapping it), so detecting it afterwards does not sound wrong (still a shared library). Not expected to matter. mm/memory.c:numa_migrate_check() will indicate TNF_SHARED in MAP_SHARED file mappings when encountering a shared folio. Similar reasoning, not expected to matter. mm/mprotect.c:change_pte_range() will skip folios detected as shared in CoW mappings. Similarly, this is not expected to matter in practice, but if it would ever be a problem we could relax that check a bit (e.g., basing it on the average page-mapcount in a folio), because it was only an optimization when many (e.g., 288) processes were mapping the same folios -- see commit 859d4adc3415 ("mm: numa: do not trap faults on shared data section pages.") (6) mm/rmap.c:folio_referenced_one() will skip exclusive swapbacked folios in dying processes. Applies to anonymous folios only. Without "false negatives", we'll now skip all actually shared ones. Skipping ones that are actually exclusive won't really matter, it's a pure optimization, and is not expected to matter in practice. In theory, one can detect the problematic scenario: folio_mapcount() > 0 and no folio MM slot is occupied ("state unknown"). One could reset the MM slots while doing an rmap walk, which migration / folio split already do when setting everything up. Further, when batching PTEs we might naturally learn about a owner (e.g., folio_mapcount() == nr_ptes) and could update the owner. However, we'll defer that until the scenarios where it would really matter are clear.

mm: allow guard regions in file-backed and read-only mappings
Patch series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings". The guard regions feature was initially implemented to support anonymous mappings only, excluding shmem. This was done so as to introduce the feature carefully and incrementally and to be conservative when considering the various caveats and corner cases that are applicable to file-backed mappings but not to anonymous ones. Now this feature has landed in 6.13, it is time to revisit this and to extend this functionality to file-backed and shmem mappings. In order to make this maximally useful, and since one may map file-backed mappings read-only (for instance ELF images), we also remove the restriction on read-only mappings and permit the establishment of guard regions in any non-hugetlb, non-mlock()'d mapping. It is permissible to permit the establishment of guard regions in read-only mappings because the guard regions only reduce access to the mapping, and when removed simply reinstate the existing attributes of the underlying VMA, meaning no access violations can occur. While the change in kernel code introduced in this series is small, the majority of the effort here is spent in extending the testing to assert that the feature works correctly across numerous file-backed mapping scenarios. Every single guard region self-test performed against anonymous memory (which is relevant and not anon-only) has now been updated to also be performed against shmem and a mapping of a file in the working directory. This confirms that all cases also function correctly for file-backed guard regions. In addition a number of other tests are added for specific file-backed mapping scenarios. There are a number of other concerns that one might have with regard to guard regions, addressed below: Readahead ~~~~~~~~~ Readahead is a process through which the page cache is populated on the assumption that sequential reads will occur, thus amortising I/O and, through a clever use of the PG_readahead folio flag establishing during major fault and checked upon minor fault, provides for asynchronous I/O to occur as dat is processed, reducing I/O stalls as data is faulted in. Guard regions do not alter this mechanism which operates at the folio and fault level, but does of course prevent the faulting of folios that would otherwise be mapped. In the instance of a major fault prior to a guard region, synchronous readahead will occur including populating folios in the page cache which the guard regions will, in the case of the mapping in question, prevent access to. In addition, if PG_readahead is placed in a folio that is now inaccessible, this will prevent asynchronous readahead from occurring as it would otherwise do. However, there are mechanisms for heuristically resetting this within readahead regardless, which will 'recover' correct readahead behaviour. Readahead presumes sequential data access, the presence of a guard region clearly indicates that, at least in the guard region, no such sequential access will occur, as it cannot occur there. So this should have very little impact on any real workload. The far more important point is as to whether readahead causes incorrect or inappropriate mapping of ranges disallowed by the presence of guard regions - this is not the case, as readahead does not 'pre-fault' memory in this fashion. At any rate, any mechanism which would attempt to do so would hit the usual page fault paths, which correctly handle PTE markers as with anonymous mappings. Fault-Around ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The fault-around logic, in a similar vein to readahead, attempts to improve efficiency with regard to file-backed memory mappings, however it differs in that it does not try to fetch folios into the page cache that are about to be accessed, but rather pre-maps a range of folios around the faulting address. Guard regions making use of PTE markers makes this relatively trivial, as this case is already handled - see filemap_map_folio_range() and filemap_map_order0_folio() - in both instances, the solution is to simply keep the established page table mappings and let the fault handler take care of PTE markers, as per the comment: /* * NOTE: If there're PTE markers, we'll leave them to be * handled in the specific fault path, and it'll prohibit * the fault-around logic. */ This works, as establishing guard regions results in page table mappings with PTE markers, and clearing them removes them. Truncation ~~~~~~~~~~ File truncation will not eliminate existing guard regions, as the truncation operation will ultimately zap the range via unmap_mapping_range(), which specifically excludes PTE markers. Zapping ~~~~~~~ Zapping is, as with anonymous mappings, handled by zap_nonpresent_ptes(), which specifically deals with guard entries, leaving them intact except in instances such as process teardown or munmap() where they need to be removed. Reclaim ~~~~~~~ When reclaim is performed on file-backed folios, it ultimately invokes try_to_unmap_one() via the rmap. If the folio is non-large, then map_pte() will ultimately abort the operation for the guard region mapping. If large, then check_pte() will determine that this is a non-device private entry/device-exclusive entry 'swap' PTE and thus abort the operation in that instance. Therefore, no odd things happen in the instance of reclaim being attempted upon a file-backed guard region. Hole Punching ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This updates the page cache and ultimately invokes unmap_mapping_range(), which explicitly leaves PTE markers in place. Because the establishment of guard regions zapped any existing mappings to file-backed folios, once the guard regions are removed then the hole-punched region will be faulted in as usual and everything will behave as expected. One thing to note with this series is that it now implies file-backed VMAs which install guard regions will now have an anon_vma installed if not already present (i.e. if not post-CoW MAP_PRIVATE). I have audited kernel source for instances of vma->anon_vma checks and found nowhere where this would be problematic for pure file-backed mappings. I also discussed (off-list) with Matthew who confirmed he can't see any issue with this. In effect, we treat these VMAs as if they are MAP_PRIVATE, only with 0 CoW'd pages. As a result, the rmap never has a reason to reference the anon_vma from folios at any point and thus no unexpected or weird behaviour results. The anon_vma logic tries to avoid unnecessary anon_vma propagation on fork so we ought to at least minimise overhead. However, this is still overhead, and unwelcome overhead. The whole reason we do this (in madvise_guard_install()) is to ensure that fork _copies page tables_. Otherwise, in vma_needs_copy(), nothing will indicate that we should do so. This was already an unpleasant thing to have to do, but without a new VMA flag we really have no reasonable means of ensuring this happens. Going forward, I intend to add a new VMA flag, VM_MAYBE_GUARDED or something like this. This would have specific behaviour - for the purposes of merging, it would be ignored. However on both split and merge, it will be propagated. It is therefore 'sticky'. This is to avoid having to traverse page tables to determine which parts of a VMA contain guard regions and of course to maintain the desirable qualities of guard regions - the lack of VMA propagation (+ thus slab allocations of VMAs). Adding this flag and adjusting vma_needs_copy() to reference it would resolve the issue. However :) we have a VMA flag space issue, so it'd render this a 64-bit feature only. Having discussed with Matthew a plan by which to perhaps extend available flags for 32-bit we may going forward be able to avoid this. But this may be a longer term project. In the meantime, we'd have to resort to the anon_vma hack for 32-bit, using the flag for 64-bit. The issue with this however is if we do then intend to allow the flag to enable /proc/$pid/maps visibility (something this could allow), it would also end up being 64-bit only which would be a pity. Regardless - I wanted to highlight this behaviour as it is perhaps somewhat surprising. This patch (of 4): There is no reason to disallow guard regions in file-backed mappings - readahead and fault-around both function correctly in the presence of PTE markers, equally other operations relating to memory-mapped files function correctly. Additionally, read-only mappings if introducing guard-regions, only restrict the mapping further, which means there is no violation of any access rights by permitting this to be so. Removing this restriction allows for read-only mapped files (such as executable files) correctly which would otherwise not be permitted.

mm/madvise: split out mmap locking operations for madvise()
Patch series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from process_madvise()". process_madvise() calls do_madvise() for each address range. Then, each do_madvise() invocation holds and releases same mmap_lock. Optimize the redundant lock operations by splitting do_madvise() internal logic including the mmap_lock operations, and calling the small logic directly from process_madvise() in a sequence that removes the redundant locking. As a result of this change, process_madvise() becomes more efficient and less racy in terms of its results and latency. Note that the potential downside of this series is that other mmap_lock holders may take more time due to the increased length of mmap_lock critical section for process_madvise() calls. But there is maximum limit in the kernel space (IOV_MAX), and userspace can control the critical section length by setting the request size. Hence, the downside would be limited and controllable. Evaluation ========== I measured the time to apply MADV_DONTNEED advice to 256 MiB memory using multiple madvise() calls, 4 KiB per each call. I also do the same with process_madvise(), but with varying batch size (vlen) from 1 to 1024. The source code for the measurement is available at GitHub[1]. Because the microbenchmark result is not that stable, I ran each configuration five times and use the average. The measurement results are as below. 'sz_batches' column shows the batch size of process_madvise() calls. '0' batch size is for madvise() calls case. 'before' and 'after' columns are the measured time to apply MADV_DONTNEED to the 256 MiB memory buffer in nanoseconds, on kernels that built without and with the last patch of this series, respectively. So lower value means better efficiency. 'after/before' column is the ratio of 'after' to 'before'. sz_batches before after after/before 0 146294215.2 121280536.2 0.829017989769427 1 165851018.8 136305598.2 0.821855658085351 2 129469321.2 103740383.6 0.801273866569094 4 110369232.4 87835896.2 0.795836795182785 8 102906232.4 77420920.2 0.752344327397609 16 97551017.4 74959714.4 0.768415506038587 32 94809848.2 71200848.4 0.750985786305689 64 96087575.6 72593180 0.755489765942227 128 96154163.8 68517055.4 0.712575022154163 256 92901257.6 69054216.6 0.743307662177439 512 93646170.8 67053296.2 0.716028168874151 1024 92663219.2 70168196.8 0.75723892830177 Despite the unstable nature of the test program, the trend is as we expect. The measurement shows this patchset reduces the process_madvise() latency, proportional to the batching size. The latency gain was about 20% with the batch size 2, and it has increased to about 28% with the batch size 512, since more number of mmap locking is reduced with larger batch size. Note that the standard devitation of the measurements for each sz_batches configuration ranged from 1.9% to 7.2%. That is, this result is not very stable. The average of the standard deviations for different batch sizes were 4.62% and 4.70% for the 'before' and 'after' kernel measurements. Also note that this patch has somehow decreased latencies of madvise() and single batch size process_madvise(). Seems this code path is small enough to significantly be affected by compiler optimizations including inlining of split-out functions. Please focus on only the improvement amount that changed by the batch size.

mm,madvise,hugetlb: check for 0-length range after end address adjustment
Add a sanity check to madvise_dontneed_free() to address a corner case in madvise where a race condition causes the current vma being processed to be backed by a different page size. During a madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) call on a memory region registered with a userfaultfd, there's a period of time where the process mm lock is temporarily released in order to send a UFFD_EVENT_REMOVE and let userspace handle the event. During this time, the vma covering the current address range may change due to an explicit mmap done concurrently by another thread. If, after that change, the memory region, which was originally backed by 4KB pages, is now backed by hugepages, the end address is rounded down to a hugepage boundary to avoid data loss (see "Fixes" below). This rounding may cause the end address to be truncated to the same address as the start. Make this corner case follow the same semantics as in other similar cases where the requested region has zero length (ie. return 0). This will make madvise_walk_vmas() continue to the next vma in the range (this time holding the process mm lock) which, due to the prev pointer becoming stale because of the vma change, will be the same hugepage-backed vma that was just checked before. The next time madvise_dontneed_free() runs for this vma, if the start address isn't aligned to a hugepage boundary, it'll return -EINVAL, which is also in line with the madvise api. From userspace perspective, madvise() will return EINVAL because the start address isn't aligned according to the new vma alignment requirements (hugepage), even though it was correctly page-aligned when the call was issued.

mm: pgtable: reclaim empty PTE page in madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)
Now in order to pursue high performance, applications mostly use some high-performance user-mode memory allocators, such as jemalloc or tcmalloc. These memory allocators use madvise(MADV_DONTNEED or MADV_FREE) to release physical memory, but neither MADV_DONTNEED nor MADV_FREE will release page table memory, which may cause huge page table memory usage. The following are a memory usage snapshot of one process which actually happened on our server: VIRT: 55t RES: 590g VmPTE: 110g In this case, most of the page table entries are empty. For such a PTE page where all entries are empty, we can actually free it back to the system for others to use. As a first step, this commit aims to synchronously free the empty PTE pages in madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) case. We will detect and free empty PTE pages in zap_pte_range(), and will add zap_details.reclaim_pt to exclude cases other than madvise(MADV_DONTNEED). Once an empty PTE is detected, we first try to hold the pmd lock within the pte lock. If successful, we clear the pmd entry directly (fast path). Otherwise, we wait until the pte lock is released, then re-hold the pmd and pte locks and loop PTRS_PER_PTE times to check pte_none() to re-detect whether the PTE page is empty and free it (slow path). For other cases such as madvise(MADV_FREE), consider scanning and freeing empty PTE pages asynchronously in the future. The following code snippet can show the effect of optimization: mmap 50G while (1) { for (; i < 1024 * 25; i++) { touch 2M memory madvise MADV_DONTNEED 2M } } As we can see, the memory usage of VmPTE is reduced: before after VIRT 50.0 GB 50.0 GB RES 3.1 MB 3.1 MB VmPTE 102640 KB 240 KB [zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com: fix uninitialized symbol 'ptl'] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20241206112348.51570-1-zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/224e6a4e-43b5-4080-bdd8-b0a6fb2f0853@stanley.mountain/ Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/92aba2b319a734913f18ba41e7d86a265f0b84e2.1733305182.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com Signed-off-by: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> Cc: Lorenzo Stoakes <lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: Muchun Song <muchun.song@linux.dev> Cc: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org> Cc: Zach O'Keefe <zokeefe@google.com> Cc: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> |

mm: madvise: implement lightweight guard page mechanism
Implement a new lightweight guard page feature, that is regions of userland virtual memory that, when accessed, cause a fatal signal to arise. Currently users must establish PROT_NONE ranges to achieve this. However this is very costly memory-wise - we need a VMA for each and every one of these regions AND they become unmergeable with surrounding VMAs. In addition repeated mmap() calls require repeated kernel context switches and contention of the mmap lock to install these ranges, potentially also having to unmap memory if installed over existing ranges. The lightweight guard approach eliminates the VMA cost altogether - rather than establishing a PROT_NONE VMA, it operates at the level of page table entries - establishing PTE markers such that accesses to them cause a fault followed by a SIGSGEV signal being raised. This is achieved through the PTE marker mechanism, which we have already extended to provide PTE_MARKER_GUARD, which we installed via the generic page walking logic which we have extended for this purpose. These guard ranges are established with MADV_GUARD_INSTALL. If the range in which they are installed contain any existing mappings, they will be zapped, i.e. free the range and unmap memory (thus mimicking the behaviour of MADV_DONTNEED in this respect). Any existing guard entries will be left untouched. There is therefore no nesting of guarded pages. Guarded ranges are NOT cleared by MADV_DONTNEED nor MADV_FREE (in both instances the memory range may be reused at which point a user would expect guards to still be in place), but they are cleared via MADV_GUARD_REMOVE, process teardown or unmapping of memory ranges. The guard property can be removed from ranges via MADV_GUARD_REMOVE. The ranges over which this is applied, should they contain non-guard entries, will be untouched, with only guard entries being cleared. We permit this operation on anonymous memory only, and only VMAs which are non-special, non-huge and not mlock()'d (if we permitted this we'd have to drop locked pages which would be rather counterintuitive). Racing page faults can cause repeated attempts to install guard pages that are interrupted, result in a zap, and this process can end up being repeated. If this happens more than would be expected in normal operation, we rescind locks and retry the whole thing, which avoids lock contention in this scenario.

mm/madvise: unrestrict process_madvise() for current process
The process_madvise() call was introduced in commit ecb8ac8b1f14 ("mm/madvise: introduce process_madvise() syscall: an external memory hinting API") as a means of performing madvise() operations on another process. However, as it provides the means by which to perform multiple madvise() operations in a batch via an iovec, it is useful to utilise the same interface for performing operations on the current process rather than a remote one. Commit 22af8caff7d1 ("mm/madvise: process_madvise() drop capability check if same mm") removed the need for a caller invoking process_madvise() on its own pidfd to possess the CAP_SYS_NICE capability, however this leaves the restrictions on operation in place. Resolve this by only applying the restriction on operations when accessing a remote process. Moving forward we plan to implement a simpler means of specifying this condition other than needing to establish a self pidfd, perhaps in the form of a sentinel pidfd. Also take the opportunity to refactor the system call implementation abstracting the vectorised operation.

mm: refactor mm_access() to not return NULL
mm_access() can return NULL if the mm is not found, but this is handled the same as an error in all callers, with some translating this into an -ESRCH error. Only proc_mem_open() returns NULL if no mm is found, however in this case it is clearer and makes more sense to explicitly handle the error. Additionally we take the opportunity to refactor the function to eliminate unnecessary nesting. Simplify things by simply returning -ESRCH if no mm is found - this both eliminates confusing use of the IS_ERR_OR_NULL() macro, and simplifies callers which would return -ESRCH by returning this error directly.

mm/madvise: process_madvise() drop capability check if same mm
In commit 96cfe2c0fd23 ("mm/madvise: replace ptrace attach requirement for process_madvise") process_madvise() was updated to require the caller to possess the CAP_SYS_NICE capability to perform the operation, in addition to a check against PTRACE_MODE_READ performed by mm_access(). The mm_access() function explicitly checks to see if the address space of the process being referenced is the current one, in which case no check is performed. We, however, do not do this when checking the CAP_SYS_NICE capability. This means that we insist on the caller possessing this capability in order to perform madvise() operations on its own address space, which seems nonsensical. Simply add a check to allow for an invocation of this function with pidfd set to the current process without elevation.

mseal: replace can_modify_mm_madv with a vma variant
Replace can_modify_mm_madv() with a single vma variant, and associated checks in madvise. While we're at it, also invert the order of checks in: if (unlikely(is_ro_anon(vma) && !can_modify_vma(vma)) Checking if we can modify the vma itself (through vm_flags) is certainly cheaper than is_ro_anon() due to arch_vma_access_permitted() looking at e.g pkeys registers (with extra branches) in some architectures. This patch allows for partial madvise success when finding a sealed VMA, which historically has been allowed in Linux.

mm: add MAP_DROPPABLE for designating always lazily freeable mappings
The vDSO getrandom() implementation works with a buffer allocated with a new system call that has certain requirements: - It shouldn't be written to core dumps. * Easy: VM_DONTDUMP. - It should be zeroed on fork. * Easy: VM_WIPEONFORK. - It shouldn't be written to swap. * Uh-oh: mlock is rlimited. * Uh-oh: mlock isn't inherited by forks. - It shouldn't reserve actual memory, but it also shouldn't crash when page faulting in memory if none is available * Uh-oh: VM_NORESERVE means segfaults. It turns out that the vDSO getrandom() function has three really nice characteristics that we can exploit to solve this problem: 1) Due to being wiped during fork(), the vDSO code is already robust to having the contents of the pages it reads zeroed out midway through the function's execution. 2) In the absolute worst case of whatever contingency we're coding for, we have the option to fallback to the getrandom() syscall, and everything is fine. 3) The buffers the function uses are only ever useful for a maximum of 60 seconds -- a sort of cache, rather than a long term allocation. These characteristics mean that we can introduce VM_DROPPABLE, which has the following semantics: a) It never is written out to swap. b) Under memory pressure, mm can just drop the pages (so that they're zero when read back again). c) It is inherited by fork. d) It doesn't count against the mlock budget, since nothing is locked. e) If there's not enough memory to service a page fault, it's not fatal, and no signal is sent. This way, allocations used by vDSO getrandom() can use: VM_DROPPABLE | VM_DONTDUMP | VM_WIPEONFORK | VM_NORESERVE And there will be no problem with OOMing, crashing on overcommitment, using memory when not in use, not wiping on fork(), coredumps, or writing out to swap. In order to let vDSO getrandom() use this, expose these via mmap(2) as MAP_DROPPABLE. Note that this involves removing the MADV_FREE special case from sort_folio(), which according to Yu Zhao is unnecessary and will simply result in an extra call to shrink_folio_list() in the worst case. The chunk removed reenables the swapbacked flag, which we don't want for VM_DROPPABLE, and we can't conditionalize it here because there isn't a vma reference available. Finally, the provided self test ensures that this is working as desired. Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Acked-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com> |

mm/madvise: add MF_ACTION_REQUIRED to madvise(MADV_HWPOISON)
The soft hwpoison injector via madvise(MADV_HWPOISON) operates in a synchrous way in a sense, the injector is also a process under test, and should it have the poisoned page mapped in its address space, it should get killed as much as in a real UE situation. Doing so align with what the madvise(2) man page says: " "This operation may result in the calling process receiving a SIGBUS and the page being unmapped."

mseal: add mseal syscall
The new mseal() is an syscall on 64 bit CPU, and with following signature: int mseal(void addr, size_t len, unsigned long flags) addr/len: memory range. flags: reserved. mseal() blocks following operations for the given memory range. 1> Unmapping, moving to another location, and shrinking the size, via munmap() and mremap(), can leave an empty space, therefore can be replaced with a VMA with a new set of attributes. 2> Moving or expanding a different VMA into the current location, via mremap(). 3> Modifying a VMA via mmap(MAP_FIXED). 4> Size expansion, via mremap(), does not appear to pose any specific risks to sealed VMAs. It is included anyway because the use case is unclear. In any case, users can rely on merging to expand a sealed VMA. 5> mprotect() and pkey_mprotect(). 6> Some destructive madvice() behaviors (e.g. MADV_DONTNEED) for anonymous memory, when users don't have write permission to the memory. Those behaviors can alter region contents by discarding pages, effectively a memset(0) for anonymous memory.

mm/madvise: optimize lazyfreeing with mTHP in madvise_free
This patch optimizes lazyfreeing with PTE-mapped mTHP[1] (Inspired by David Hildenbrand[2]). We aim to avoid unnecessary folio splitting if the large folio is fully mapped within the target range. If a large folio is locked or shared, or if we fail to split it, we just leave it in place and advance to the next PTE in the range. But note that the behavior is changed; previously, any failure of this sort would cause the entire operation to give up. As large folios become more common, sticking to the old way could result in wasted opportunities. On an Intel I5 CPU, lazyfreeing a 1GiB VMA backed by PTE-mapped folios of the same size results in the following runtimes for madvise(MADV_FREE) in seconds (shorter is better): Folio Size | Old | New | Change ------------------------------------------ 4KiB | 0.590251 | 0.590259 | 0% 16KiB | 2.990447 | 0.185655 | -94% 32KiB | 2.547831 | 0.104870 | -95% 64KiB | 2.457796 | 0.052812 | -97% 128KiB | 2.281034 | 0.032777 | -99% 256KiB | 2.230387 | 0.017496 | -99% 512KiB | 2.189106 | 0.010781 | -99% 1024KiB | 2.183949 | 0.007753 | -99% 2048KiB | 0.002799 | 0.002804 | 0% [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231207161211.2374093-5-ryan.roberts@arm.com [2] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20240214204435.167852-1-david@redhat.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240418134435.6092-5-ioworker0@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Lance Yang <ioworker0@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Ryan Roberts <ryan.roberts@arm.com> Acked-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Cc: Barry Song <21cnbao@gmail.com> Cc: Jeff Xie <xiehuan09@gmail.com> Cc: Kefeng Wang <wangkefeng.wang@huawei.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com> Cc: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com> Cc: Yang Shi <shy828301@gmail.com> Cc: Yin Fengwei <fengwei.yin@intel.com> Cc: Zach O'Keefe <zokeefe@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> |

mm: madvise: avoid split during MADV_PAGEOUT and MADV_COLD
Rework madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() to avoid splitting any large folio that is fully and contiguously mapped in the pageout/cold vm range. This change means that large folios will be maintained all the way to swap storage. This both improves performance during swap-out, by eliding the cost of splitting the folio, and sets us up nicely for maintaining the large folio when it is swapped back in (to be covered in a separate series). Folios that are not fully mapped in the target range are still split, but note that behavior is changed so that if the split fails for any reason (folio locked, shared, etc) we now leave it as is and move to the next pte in the range and continue work on the proceeding folios. Previously any failure of this sort would cause the entire operation to give up and no folios mapped at higher addresses were paged out or made cold. Given large folios are becoming more common, this old behavior would have likely lead to wasted opportunities. While we are at it, change the code that clears young from the ptes to use ptep_test_and_clear_young(), via the new mkold_ptes() batch helper function. This is more efficent than get_and_clear/modify/set, especially for contpte mappings on arm64, where the old approach would require unfolding/refolding and the new approach can be done in place.

mm: swap: free_swap_and_cache_nr() as batched free_swap_and_cache()
Now that we no longer have a convenient flag in the cluster to determine if a folio is large, free_swap_and_cache() will take a reference and lock a large folio much more often, which could lead to contention and (e.g.) failure to split large folios, etc. Let's solve that problem by batch freeing swap and cache with a new function, free_swap_and_cache_nr(), to free a contiguous range of swap entries together. This allows us to first drop a reference to each swap slot before we try to release the cache folio. This means we only try to release the folio once, only taking the reference and lock once - much better than the previous 512 times for the 2M THP case. Contiguous swap entries are gathered in zap_pte_range() and madvise_free_pte_range() in a similar way to how present ptes are already gathered in zap_pte_range(). While we are at it, let's simplify by converting the return type of both functions to void. The return value was used only by zap_pte_range() to print a bad pte, and was ignored by everyone else, so the extra reporting wasn't exactly guaranteed. We will still get the warning with most of the information from get_swap_device(). With the batch version, we wouldn't know which pte was bad anyway so could print the wrong one.

mm: convert folio_estimated_sharers() to folio_likely_mapped_shared()
Callers of folio_estimated_sharers() only care about "mapped shared vs. mapped exclusively", not the exact estimate of sharers. Let's consolidate and unify the condition users are checking. While at it clarify the semantics and extend the discussion on the fuzziness. Use the "likely mapped shared" terminology to better express what the (adjusted) function actually checks. Whether a partially-mappable folio is more likely to not be partially mapped than partially mapped is debatable. In the future, we might be able to improve our estimate for partially-mappable folios, though. Note that we will now consistently detect "mapped shared" only if the first subpage is actually mapped multiple times. When the first subpage is not mapped, we will consistently detect it as "mapped exclusively". This change should currently only affect the usage in madvise_free_pte_range() and queue_folios_pte_range() for large folios: if the first page was already unmapped, we would have skipped the folio.

mm/madvise: don't perform madvise VMA walk for MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE)
We changed faultin_page_range() to no longer consume a VMA, because faultin_page_range() might internally release the mm lock to lookup the VMA again -- required to cleanly handle VM_FAULT_RETRY. But independent of that, __get_user_pages() will always lookup the VMA itself. Now that we let __get_user_pages() just handle VMA checks in a way that is suitable for MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE), the VMA walk in madvise() is just overhead. So let's just call madvise_populate() on the full range instead. There is one change in behavior: madvise_walk_vmas() would skip any VMA holes, and if everything succeeded, it would return -ENOMEM after processing all VMAs. However, for MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) it's unlikely for the caller to notice any difference: -ENOMEM might either indicate that there were VMA holes or that populating page tables failed because there was not enough memory. So it's unlikely that user space will notice the difference, and that special handling likely only makes sense for some other madvise() actions. Further, we'd already fail with -ENOMEM early in the past if looking up the VMA after dropping the MM lock failed because of concurrent VMA modifications. So let's just keep it simple and avoid the madvise VMA walk, and consistently fail early if we find a VMA hole.

mm/madvise: make MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) handle VM_FAULT_RETRY properly
Darrick reports that in some cases where pread() would fail with -EIO and mmap()+access would generate a SIGBUS signal, MADV_POPULATE_READ / MADV_POPULATE_WRITE will keep retrying forever and not fail with -EFAULT. While the madvise() call can be interrupted by a signal, this is not the desired behavior. MADV_POPULATE_READ / MADV_POPULATE_WRITE should behave like page faults in that case: fail and not retry forever. A reproducer can be found at [1]. The reason is that __get_user_pages(), as called by faultin_vma_page_range(), will not handle VM_FAULT_RETRY in a proper way: it will simply return 0 when VM_FAULT_RETRY happened, making madvise_populate()->faultin_vma_page_range() retry again and again, never setting FOLL_TRIED->FAULT_FLAG_TRIED for __get_user_pages(). __get_user_pages_locked() does what we want, but duplicating that logic in faultin_vma_page_range() feels wrong. So let's use __get_user_pages_locked() instead, that will detect VM_FAULT_RETRY and set FOLL_TRIED when retrying, making the fault handler return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS (VM_FAULT_ERROR) at some point, propagating -EFAULT from faultin_page() to __get_user_pages(), all the way to madvise_populate(). But, there is an issue: __get_user_pages_locked() will end up re-taking the MM lock and then __get_user_pages() will do another VMA lookup. In the meantime, the VMA layout could have changed and we'd fail with different error codes than we'd want to. As __get_user_pages() will currently do a new VMA lookup either way, let it do the VMA handling in a different way, controlled by a new FOLL_MADV_POPULATE flag, effectively moving these checks from madvise_populate() + faultin_page_range() in there. With this change, Darricks reproducer properly fails with -EFAULT, as documented for MADV_POPULATE_READ / MADV_POPULATE_WRITE.

mm: madvise: pageout: ignore references rather than clearing young
While doing MADV_PAGEOUT, the current code will clear PTE young so that vmscan won't read young flags to allow the reclamation of madvised folios to go ahead. It seems we can do it by directly ignoring references, thus we can remove tlb flush in madvise and rmap overhead in vmscan. Regarding the side effect, in the original code, if a parallel thread runs side by side to access the madvised memory with the thread doing madvise, folios will get a chance to be re-activated by vmscan (though the time gap is actually quite small since checking PTEs is done immediately after clearing PTEs young). But with this patch, they will still be reclaimed. But this behaviour doing PAGEOUT and doing access at the same time is quite silly like DoS. So probably, we don't need to care. Or ignoring the new access during the quite small time gap is even better. For DAMON's DAMOS_PAGEOUT based on physical address region, we still keep its behaviour as is since a physical address might be mapped by multiple processes. MADV_PAGEOUT based on virtual address is actually much more aggressive on reclamation. To untouch paddr's DAMOS_PAGEOUT, we simply pass ignore_references as false in reclaim_pages(). A microbench as below has shown 6% decrement on the latency of MADV_PAGEOUT, #define PGSIZE 4096 main() { int i; #define SIZE 512*1024*1024 volatile long *p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); for (i = 0; i < SIZE/sizeof(long); i += PGSIZE / sizeof(long)) p[i] = 0x11; madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT); } w/o patch w/ patch root@10:~# time ./a.out root@10:~# time ./a.out real 0m49.634s real 0m46.334s user 0m0.637s user 0m0.648s sys 0m47.434s sys 0m44.265s Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240226005739.24350-1-21cnbao@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@oppo.com> Acked-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: SeongJae Park <sj@kernel.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> |

madvise:madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range(): allow split while folio_estimated_sharers = 0
The purpose is stopping splitting large folios whose mapcount are 2 or above. Folios whose estimated_shares = 0 should be still perfect and even better candidates than estimated_shares = 1. Consider a pte-mapped large folio with 16 subpages, if we unmap 1-15, the current code will split folios and reclaim them while madvise goes on this folio; but if we unmap subpage 0, we will keep this folio and break. This is weird. For pmd-mapped large folios, we can still use "= 1" as the condition as anyway we have the entire map for it. So this patch doesn't change the condition for pmd-mapped large folios. This also explains why we had been using "= 1" for both pmd-mapped and pte-mapped large folios before commit 07e8c82b5eff ("madvise: convert madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() to use folios"), because in the past, we used the mapcount of the specific subpage, since the subpage had pte present, its mapcount wouldn't be 0. The problem can be quite easily reproduced by writing a small program, unmapping the first subpage of a pte-mapped large folio vs. unmapping anyone other than the first subpage.

mm/madvise: add cond_resched() in madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range()
I conducted real-time testing and observed that madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() causes significant latency under memory pressure, which can be effectively reduced by adding cond_resched() within the loop. I tested on the LicheePi 4A board using Cylictest for latency testing and Ftrace for latency tracing. The board uses TH1520 processor and has a memory size of 8GB. The kernel version is 6.5.0 with the PREEMPT_RT patch applied. The script I tested is as follows: echo wakeup_rt > /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on echo 0 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_max_latency stress-ng --vm 8 --vm-bytes 2G & cyclictest --mlockall --smp --priority=99 --distance=0 --duration=30m echo 0 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace The tracing results before modification are as follows: # tracer: wakeup_rt # # wakeup_rt latency trace v1.1.5 on 6.5.0-rt6-r1208-00003-g999d221864bf # -------------------------------------------------------------------- # latency: 2552 us, #6/6, CPU#3 | (M:preempt_rt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:4) # ----------------- # | task: cyclictest-196 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:1 rt_prio:99) # ----------------- # # _--------=> CPU# # / _-------=> irqs-off/BH-disabled # | / _------=> need-resched # || / _-----=> need-resched-lazy # ||| / _----=> hardirq/softirq # |||| / _---=> preempt-depth # ||||| / _--=> preempt-lazy-depth # |||||| / _-=> migrate-disable # ||||||| / delay # cmd pid |||||||| time | caller # \ / |||||||| \ | / stress-n-206 3dn.h512 2us : 206:120:R + [003] 196: 0:R cyclictest stress-n-206 3dn.h512 7us : <stack trace> => __ftrace_trace_stack => __trace_stack => probe_wakeup => ttwu_do_activate => try_to_wake_up => wake_up_process => hrtimer_wakeup => __hrtimer_run_queues => hrtimer_interrupt => riscv_timer_interrupt => handle_percpu_devid_irq => generic_handle_domain_irq => riscv_intc_irq => handle_riscv_irq => do_irq stress-n-206 3dn.h512 9us#: 0 stress-n-206 3d...3.. 2544us : __schedule stress-n-206 3d...3.. 2545us : 206:120:R ==> [003] 196: 0:R cyclictest stress-n-206 3d...3.. 2551us : <stack trace> => __ftrace_trace_stack => __trace_stack => probe_wakeup_sched_switch => __schedule => preempt_schedule => migrate_enable => rt_spin_unlock => madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range => walk_pgd_range => __walk_page_range => walk_page_range => madvise_pageout => madvise_vma_behavior => do_madvise => sys_madvise => do_trap_ecall_u => ret_from_exception The tracing results after modification are as follows: # tracer: wakeup_rt # # wakeup_rt latency trace v1.1.5 on 6.5.0-rt6-r1208-00004-gca3876fc69a6-dirty # -------------------------------------------------------------------- # latency: 1689 us, #6/6, CPU#0 | (M:preempt_rt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:4) # ----------------- # | task: cyclictest-217 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:1 rt_prio:99) # ----------------- # # _--------=> CPU# # / _-------=> irqs-off/BH-disabled # | / _------=> need-resched # || / _-----=> need-resched-lazy # ||| / _----=> hardirq/softirq # |||| / _---=> preempt-depth # ||||| / _--=> preempt-lazy-depth # |||||| / _-=> migrate-disable # ||||||| / delay # cmd pid |||||||| time | caller # \ / |||||||| \ | / stress-n-232 0dn.h413 1us+: 232:120:R + [000] 217: 0:R cyclictest stress-n-232 0dn.h413 12us : <stack trace> => __ftrace_trace_stack => __trace_stack => probe_wakeup => ttwu_do_activate => try_to_wake_up => wake_up_process => hrtimer_wakeup => __hrtimer_run_queues => hrtimer_interrupt => riscv_timer_interrupt => handle_percpu_devid_irq => generic_handle_domain_irq => riscv_intc_irq => handle_riscv_irq => do_irq stress-n-232 0dn.h413 19us#: 0 stress-n-232 0d...3.. 1671us : __schedule stress-n-232 0d...3.. 1676us+: 232:120:R ==> [000] 217: 0:R cyclictest stress-n-232 0d...3.. 1687us : <stack trace> => __ftrace_trace_stack => __trace_stack => probe_wakeup_sched_switch => __schedule => preempt_schedule => migrate_enable => free_unref_page_list => release_pages => free_pages_and_swap_cache => tlb_batch_pages_flush => tlb_flush_mmu => unmap_page_range => unmap_vmas => unmap_region => do_vmi_align_munmap.constprop.0 => do_vmi_munmap => __vm_munmap => sys_munmap => do_trap_ecall_u => ret_from_exception After the modification, the cause of maximum latency is no longer madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range(), so this modification can reduce the latency caused by madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range().

mm: drop the assumption that VM_SHARED always implies writable
Patch series "permit write-sealed memfd read-only shared mappings", v4. The man page for fcntl() describing memfd file seals states the following about F_SEAL_WRITE:- Furthermore, trying to create new shared, writable memory-mappings via mmap(2) will also fail with EPERM. With emphasis on 'writable'. In turns out in fact that currently the kernel simply disallows all new shared memory mappings for a memfd with F_SEAL_WRITE applied, rendering this documentation inaccurate. This matters because users are therefore unable to obtain a shared mapping to a memfd after write sealing altogether, which limits their usefulness. This was reported in the discussion thread [1] originating from a bug report [2]. This is a product of both using the struct address_space->i_mmap_writable atomic counter to determine whether writing may be permitted, and the kernel adjusting this counter when any VM_SHARED mapping is performed and more generally implicitly assuming VM_SHARED implies writable. It seems sensible that we should only update this mapping if VM_MAYWRITE is specified, i.e. whether it is possible that this mapping could at any point be written to. If we do so then all we need to do to permit write seals to function as documented is to clear VM_MAYWRITE when mapping read-only. It turns out this functionality already exists for F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE - we can therefore simply adapt this logic to do the same for F_SEAL_WRITE. We then hit a chicken and egg situation in mmap_region() where the check for VM_MAYWRITE occurs before we are able to clear this flag. To work around this, perform this check after we invoke call_mmap(), with careful consideration of error paths. Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the suggestion! [1]:https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230324133646.16101dfa666f253c4715d965@linux-foundation.org/ [2]:https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217238 This patch (of 3): There is a general assumption that VMAs with the VM_SHARED flag set are writable. If the VM_MAYWRITE flag is not set, then this is simply not the case. Update those checks which affect the struct address_space->i_mmap_writable field to explicitly test for this by introducing [vma_]is_shared_maywrite() helper functions. This remains entirely conservative, as the lack of VM_MAYWRITE guarantees that the VMA cannot be written to.

mm: abstract the vma_merge()/split_vma() pattern for mprotect() et al.
mprotect() and other functions which change VMA parameters over a range each employ a pattern of:- 1. Attempt to merge the range with adjacent VMAs. 2. If this fails, and the range spans a subset of the VMA, split it accordingly. This is open-coded and duplicated in each case. Also in each case most of the parameters passed to vma_merge() remain the same. Create a new function, vma_modify(), which abstracts this operation, accepting only those parameters which can be changed. To avoid the mess of invoking each function call with unnecessary parameters, create inline wrapper functions for each of the modify operations, parameterised only by what is required to perform the action. We can also significantly simplify the logic - by returning the VMA if we split (or merged VMA if we do not) we no longer need specific handling for merge/split cases in any of the call sites. Note that the userfaultfd_release() case works even though it does not split VMAs - since start is set to vma->vm_start and end is set to vma->vm_end, the split logic does not trigger. In addition, since we calculate pgoff to be equal to vma->vm_pgoff + (start - vma->vm_start) >> PAGE_SHIFT, and start - vma->vm_start will be 0 in this instance, this invocation will remain unchanged. We eliminate a VM_WARN_ON() in mprotect_fixup() as this simply asserts that vma_merge() correctly ensures that flags remain the same, something that is already checked in is_mergeable_vma() and elsewhere, and in any case is not specific to mprotect().

swap: remove remnants of polling from read_swap_cache_async
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 parameter in read_swap_cache_async and always call swap_readpage with synchronous=false waiting for IO completion in folio_lock_or_retry.

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.

madvise:madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range(): don't use mapcount() against 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.

mm: lock vma explicitly before doing vm_flags_reset and vm_flags_reset_once
Implicit vma locking inside vm_flags_reset() and vm_flags_reset_once() is not obvious and makes it hard to understand where vma locking is happening. Also in some cases (like in dup_userfaultfd()) vma should be locked earlier than vma_flags modification. To make locking more visible, change these functions to assert that the vma write lock is taken and explicitly lock the vma beforehand. Fix userfaultfd functions which should lock the vma earlier.

mm: enable page walking API to lock vmas during the walk
walk_page_range() and friends often operate under write-locked mmap_lock. With introduction of vma locks, the vmas have to be locked as well during such walks to prevent concurrent page faults in these areas. Add an additional member to mm_walk_ops to indicate locking requirements for the walk. The change ensures that page walks which prevent concurrent page faults by write-locking mmap_lock, operate correctly after introduction of per-vma locks. With per-vma locks page faults can be handled under vma lock without taking mmap_lock at all, so write locking mmap_lock would not stop them. The change ensures vmas are properly locked during such walks. A sample issue this solves is do_mbind() performing queue_pages_range() to queue pages for migration. Without this change a concurrent page can be faulted into the area and be left out of migration.

mm: make PTE_MARKER_SWAPIN_ERROR more general
Patch series "add UFFDIO_POISON to simulate memory poisoning with UFFD", v4. This series adds a new userfaultfd feature, UFFDIO_POISON. See commit 4 for a detailed description of the feature. This patch (of 8): Future patches will reuse PTE_MARKER_SWAPIN_ERROR to implement UFFDIO_POISON, so make some various preparations for that: First, rename it to just PTE_MARKER_POISONED. The "SWAPIN" can be confusing since we're going to re-use it for something not really related to swap. This can be particularly confusing for things like hugetlbfs, which doesn't support swap whatsoever. Also rename some various helper functions. Next, fix pte marker copying for hugetlbfs. Previously, it would WARN on seeing a PTE_MARKER_SWAPIN_ERROR, since hugetlbfs doesn't support swap. But, since we're going to re-use it, we want it to go ahead and copy it just like non-hugetlbfs memory does today. Since the code to do this is more complicated now, pull it out into a helper which can be re-used in both places. While we're at it, also make it slightly more explicit in its handling of e.g. uffd wp markers. For non-hugetlbfs page faults, instead of returning VM_FAULT_SIGBUS for an error entry, return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON. For most cases this change doesn't matter, e.g. a userspace program would receive a SIGBUS either way. But for UFFDIO_POISON, this change will let KVM guests get an MCE out of the box, instead of giving a SIGBUS to the hypervisor and requiring it to somehow inject an MCE. Finally, for hugetlbfs faults, handle PTE_MARKER_POISONED, and return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON_LARGE in such cases. Note that this can't happen today because the lack of swap support means we'll never end up with such a PTE anyway, but this behavior will be needed once such entries *can* show up via UFFDIO_POISON.

mm: madvise: fix uneven accounting of psi
A folio turns into a Workingset during: 1) shrink_active_list() placing the folio from active to inactive list. 2) When a workingset transition is happening during the folio refault. And when Workingset is set on a folio, PSI for memory can be accounted during a) That folio is being reclaimed and b) Refault of that folio, for usual reclaims. This accounting of PSI for memory is not consistent for reclaim + refault operation between usual reclaim and madvise(COLD/PAGEOUT) which deactivate or proactively reclaim a folio: a) A folio started at inactive and moved to active as part of accesses. Workingset is absent on the folio thus refault of it when reclaimed through MADV_PAGEOUT operation doesn't account for PSI. b) When the same folio transition from inactive->active and then to inactive through shrink_active_list(). Workingset is set on the folio thus refault of it when reclaimed through MADV_PAGEOUT operation accounts for PSI. c) When the same folio is part of active list directly as a result of folio refault and this was a workingset folio prior to eviction. Workingset is set on the folio thus the refault of it when reclaimed through MADV_PAGEOUT/MADV_COLD operation accounts for PSI. d) MADV_COLD transfers the folio from active list to inactive list. Such folios may not have the Workingset thus refault operation on such folio doesn't account for PSI. As said above, refault operation caused because of MADV_PAGEOUT on a folio is accounts for memory PSI in b) and c) but not in a). Refault caused by the reclaim of a folio on which MADV_COLD is performed accounts memory PSI in c) but not in d). These behaviours are inconsistent w.r.t usual reclaim + refault operation. Make this PSI accounting always consistent by turning a folio into a workingset one whenever it is leaving the active list. Also, accounting of PSI on a folio whenever it leaves the active list as part of the MADV_COLD/PAGEOUT operation helps the users whether they are operating on proper folios[1].

mm: ptep_get() conversion
Convert all instances of direct pte_t* dereferencing to instead use ptep_get() helper. This means that by default, the accesses change from a C dereference to a READ_ONCE(). This is technically the correct thing to do since where pgtables are modified by HW (for access/dirty) they are volatile and therefore we should always ensure READ_ONCE() semantics. But more importantly, by always using the helper, it can be overridden by the architecture to fully encapsulate the contents of the pte. Arch code is deliberately not converted, as the arch code knows best. It is intended that arch code (arm64) will override the default with its own implementation that can (e.g.) hide certain bits from the core code, or determine young/dirty status by mixing in state from another source. Conversion was done using Coccinelle: ---- // $ make coccicheck \ // COCCI=ptepget.cocci \ // SPFLAGS="--include-headers" \ // MODE=patch virtual patch @ depends on patch @ pte_t *v; @@ - *v + ptep_get(v) ---- Then reviewed and hand-edited to avoid multiple unnecessary calls to ptep_get(), instead opting to store the result of a single call in a variable, where it is correct to do so. This aims to negate any cost of READ_ONCE() and will benefit arch-overrides that may be more complex. Included is a fix for an issue in an earlier version of this patch that was pointed out by kernel test robot. The issue arose because config MMU=n elides definition of the ptep helper functions, including ptep_get(). HUGETLB_PAGE=n configs still define a simple huge_ptep_clear_flush() for linking purposes, which dereferences the ptep. So when both configs are disabled, this caused a build error because ptep_get() is not defined. Fix by continuing to do a direct dereference when MMU=n. This is safe because for this config the arch code cannot be trying to virtualize the ptes because none of the ptep helpers are defined.
