- The 6 patch series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from
Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide compile-time checking of percpu area accesses. This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were reported. In all cases the calling code was founf to be incorrect. - The 4 patch series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code. - The 17 patch series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed. - The 2 patch series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained. - The 5 patch series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime effects are anticipated. - The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark. - The 12 patch series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan noticed when working on the swap code. - The 2 patch series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak user-visible output. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's handling of large folios. - The 3 patch series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk() behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of kdamond's walking of DAMON regions. - The 3 patch series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory work for the future removal of page structure fields. - The 4 patch series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter" from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by huge page sizes. - The 4 patch series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings" from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and file-backed mappings. - The 4 patch series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping for pte-mapped large folios. - The 18 patch series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one microbenchmark. - The 5 patch series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON docs. - The 27 patch series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed when using CMA on large machines. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages" from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the page's mapped/unmapped status. - The 19 patch series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression operations preemptibly. - The 12 patch series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan encountered while runnimg our selftests. - The 2 patch series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to determine whether a particular page is a guard page. - The 7 patch series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply wasn't being effective. - The 5 patch series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this code. - The 5 patch series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP Kconfig logic. - The 8 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for DAMON's aggregation interval tuning. - The 5 patch series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations.

fs/dax: properly refcount fs dax pages
Currently fs dax pages are considered free when the refcount drops to one and their refcounts are not increased when mapped via PTEs or decreased when unmapped. This requires special logic in mm paths to detect that these pages should not be properly refcounted, and to detect when the refcount drops to one instead of zero. On the other hand get_user_pages(), etc. will properly refcount fs dax pages by taking a reference and dropping it when the page is unpinned. Tracking this special behaviour requires extra PTE bits (eg. pte_devmap) and introduces rules that are potentially confusing and specific to FS DAX pages. To fix this, and to possibly allow removal of the special PTE bits in future, convert the fs dax page refcounts to be zero based and instead take a reference on the page each time it is mapped as is currently the case for normal pages. This may also allow a future clean-up to remove the pgmap refcounting that is currently done in mm/gup.c.

mm/filemap: add read support for RWF_DONTCACHE
Add RWF_DONTCACHE as a read operation flag, which means that any data read wil be removed from the page cache upon completion. Uses the page cache to synchronize, and simply prunes folios that were instantiated when the operation completes. While it would be possible to use private pages for this, using the page cache as synchronization is handy for a variety of reasons: 1) No special truncate magic is needed 2) Async buffered reads need some place to serialize, using the page cache is a lot easier than writing extra code for this 3) The pruning cost is pretty reasonable and the code to support this is much simpler as a result. You can think of uncached buffered IO as being the much more attractive cousin of O_DIRECT - it has none of the restrictions of O_DIRECT. Yes, it will copy the data, but unlike regular buffered IO, it doesn't run into the unpredictability of the page cache in terms of reclaim. As an example, on a test box with 32 drives, reading them with buffered IO looks as follows: Reading bs 65536, uncached 0 1s: 145945MB/sec 2s: 158067MB/sec 3s: 157007MB/sec 4s: 148622MB/sec 5s: 118824MB/sec 6s: 70494MB/sec 7s: 41754MB/sec 8s: 90811MB/sec 9s: 92204MB/sec 10s: 95178MB/sec 11s: 95488MB/sec 12s: 95552MB/sec 13s: 96275MB/sec where it's quite easy to see where the page cache filled up, and performance went from good to erratic, and finally settles at a much lower rate.

With the aging feedback no longer considering the distribution of folios in each generation, rework workingset protection to better distribute folios across MAX_NR_GENS. This is achieved by reusing PG_workingset and PG_referenced/LRU_REFS_FLAGS in a slightly different way. For folios accessed multiple times through file descriptors, make lru_gen_inc_refs() set additional bits of LRU_REFS_WIDTH in folio->flags after PG_referenced, then PG_workingset after LRU_REFS_WIDTH. After all its bits are set, i.e., LRU_REFS_FLAGS|BIT(PG_workingset), a folio is lazily promoted into the second oldest generation in the eviction path. And when folio_inc_gen() does that, it clears LRU_REFS_FLAGS so that lru_gen_inc_refs() can start over. For this case, LRU_REFS_MASK is only valid when PG_referenced is set. For folios accessed multiple times through page tables, folio_update_gen() from a page table walk or lru_gen_set_refs() from a rmap walk sets PG_referenced after the accessed bit is cleared for the first time. Thereafter, those two paths set PG_workingset and promote folios to the youngest generation. Like folio_inc_gen(), when folio_update_gen() does that, it also clears PG_referenced. For this case, LRU_REFS_MASK is not used. For both of the cases, after PG_workingset is set on a folio, it remains until this folio is either reclaimed, or "deactivated" by lru_gen_clear_refs(). It can be set again if lru_gen_test_recent() returns true upon a refault. When adding folios to the LRU lists, lru_gen_folio_seq() distributes them as follows: +---------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Accessed thru page tables | Accessed thru file descriptors | +---------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | PG_active (set while isolated) | | +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+ | PG_workingset | PG_referenced | PG_workingset | LRU_REFS_FLAGS | +---------------------------------+---------------------------------+ |<--------- MIN_NR_GENS --------->| | |<-------------------------- MAX_NR_GENS -------------------------->| After this patch, some typical client and server workloads showed improvements under heavy memory pressure. For example, Python TPC-C, which was used to benchmark a different approach [1] to better detect refault distances, showed a significant decrease in total refaults: Before After Change Time (seconds) 10801 10801 0% Executed (transactions) 41472 43663 +5% workingset_nodes 109070 120244 +10% workingset_refault_anon 5019627 7281831 +45% workingset_refault_file 1294678786 554855564 -57% workingset_refault_total 1299698413 562137395 -57% [1] https://lore.kernel.org/20230920190244.16839-1-ryncsn@gmail.com/ Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20241231043538.4075764-7-yuzhao@google.com Signed-off-by: Yu Zhao <yuzhao@google.com> Reported-by: Kairui Song <kasong@tencent.com> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/CAOUHufahuWcKf5f1Sg3emnqX+cODuR=2TQo7T4Gr-QYLujn4RA@mail.gmail.com/ Tested-by: Kalesh Singh <kaleshsingh@google.com> Cc: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@oppo.com> Cc: Bharata B Rao <bharata@amd.com> Cc: David Stevens <stevensd@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> |

mm/mglru: optimize deactivation
Do not shuffle a folio in the deactivation paths if it is already in the oldest generation. This reduces the LRU lock contention. Before this patch, the contention is reproducible by FIO, e.g., fio -filename=/dev/nvme1n1p2 -direct=0 -thread -size=1024G \ -rwmixwrite=30 --norandommap --randrepeat=0 -ioengine=sync \ -bs=4k -numjobs=400 -runtime=25000 --time_based \ -group_reporting -name=mglru 98.96%--_raw_spin_lock_irqsave folio_lruvec_lock_irqsave | --98.78%--folio_batch_move_lru | --98.63%--deactivate_file_folio mapping_try_invalidate invalidate_mapping_pages invalidate_bdev blkdev_common_ioctl blkdev_ioctl After this patch, deactivate_file_folio() bails out early without taking the LRU lock. A side effect is that a folio can be left at the head of the oldest generation, rather than the tail. If reclaim happens at the same time, it cannot reclaim this folio immediately. Since there is no known correlation between truncation and reclaim, this side effect is considered insignificant.

mm/thp: fix deferred split unqueue naming and locking
Recent changes are putting more pressure on THP deferred split queues: under load revealing long-standing races, causing list_del corruptions, "Bad page state"s and worse (I keep BUGs in both of those, so usually don't get to see how badly they end up without). The relevant recent changes being 6.8's mTHP, 6.10's mTHP swapout, and 6.12's mTHP swapin, improved swap allocation, and underused THP splitting. Before fixing locking: rename misleading folio_undo_large_rmappable(), which does not undo large_rmappable, to folio_unqueue_deferred_split(), which is what it does. But that and its out-of-line __callee are mm internals of very limited usability: add comment and WARN_ON_ONCEs to check usage; and return a bool to say if a deferred split was unqueued, which can then be used in WARN_ON_ONCEs around safety checks (sparing callers the arcane conditionals in __folio_unqueue_deferred_split()). Just omit the folio_unqueue_deferred_split() from free_unref_folios(), all of whose callers now call it beforehand (and if any forget then bad_page() will tell) - except for its caller put_pages_list(), which itself no longer has any callers (and will be deleted separately). Swapout: mem_cgroup_swapout() has been resetting folio->memcg_data 0 without checking and unqueueing a THP folio from deferred split list; which is unfortunate, since the split_queue_lock depends on the memcg (when memcg is enabled); so swapout has been unqueueing such THPs later, when freeing the folio, using the pgdat's lock instead: potentially corrupting the memcg's list. __remove_mapping() has frozen refcount to 0 here, so no problem with calling folio_unqueue_deferred_split() before resetting memcg_data. That goes back to 5.4 commit 87eaceb3faa5 ("mm: thp: make deferred split shrinker memcg aware"): which included a check on swapcache before adding to deferred queue, but no check on deferred queue before adding THP to swapcache. That worked fine with the usual sequence of events in reclaim (though there were a couple of rare ways in which a THP on deferred queue could have been swapped out), but 6.12 commit dafff3f4c850 ("mm: split underused THPs") avoids splitting underused THPs in reclaim, which makes swapcache THPs on deferred queue commonplace. Keep the check on swapcache before adding to deferred queue? Yes: it is no longer essential, but preserves the existing behaviour, and is likely to be a worthwhile optimization (vmstat showed much more traffic on the queue under swapping load if the check was removed); update its comment. Memcg-v1 move (deprecated): mem_cgroup_move_account() has been changing folio->memcg_data without checking and unqueueing a THP folio from the deferred list, sometimes corrupting "from" memcg's list, like swapout. Refcount is non-zero here, so folio_unqueue_deferred_split() can only be used in a WARN_ON_ONCE to validate the fix, which must be done earlier: mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range() first try to split the THP (splitting of course unqueues), or skip it if that fails. Not ideal, but moving charge has been requested, and khugepaged should repair the THP later: nobody wants new custom unqueueing code just for this deprecated case. The 87eaceb3faa5 commit did have the code to move from one deferred list to another (but was not conscious of its unsafety while refcount non-0); but that was removed by 5.6 commit fac0516b5534 ("mm: thp: don't need care deferred split queue in memcg charge move path"), which argued that the existence of a PMD mapping guarantees that the THP cannot be on a deferred list. As above, false in rare cases, and now commonly false. Backport to 6.11 should be straightforward. Earlier backports must take care that other _deferred_list fixes and dependencies are included. There is not a strong case for backports, but they can fix cornercases.

Whoever passes a folio to __folio_batch_add_and_move() must hold a reference, otherwise something else would already be messed up.

mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding to LRU batch
If a large number of CMA memory are configured in system (for example, the CMA memory accounts for 50% of the system memory), starting a virtual virtual machine with device passthrough, it will call pin_user_pages_remote(..., FOLL_LONGTERM, ...) to pin memory. Normally if a page is present and in CMA area, pin_user_pages_remote() will migrate the page from CMA area to non-CMA area because of FOLL_LONGTERM flag. But the current code will cause the migration failure due to unexpected page refcounts, and eventually cause the virtual machine fail to start. If a page is added in LRU batch, its refcount increases one, remove the page from LRU batch decreases one. Page migration requires the page is not referenced by others except page mapping. Before migrating a page, we should try to drain the page from LRU batch in case the page is in it, however, folio_test_lru() is not sufficient to tell whether the page is in LRU batch or not, if the page is in LRU batch, the migration will fail. To solve the problem above, we modify the logic of adding to LRU batch. Before adding a page to LRU batch, we clear the LRU flag of the page so that we can check whether the page is in LRU batch by folio_test_lru(page). It's quite valuable, because likely we don't want to blindly drain the LRU batch simply because there is some unexpected reference on a page, as described above. This change makes the LRU flag of a page invisible for longer, which may impact some programs. For example, as long as a page is on a LRU batch, we cannot isolate it, and we cannot check if it's an LRU page. Further, a page can now only be on exactly one LRU batch. This doesn't seem to matter much, because a new page is allocated from buddy and added to the lru batch, or be isolated, it's LRU flag may also be invisible for a long time.

mm: make folios_put() the basis of release_pages()
Patch series "Rearrange batched folio freeing", v3. Other than the obvious "remove calls to compound_head" changes, the fundamental belief here is that iterating a linked list is much slower than iterating an array (5-15x slower in my testing). There's also an associated belief that since we iterate the batch of folios three times, we do better when the array is small (ie 15 entries) than we do with a batch that is hundreds of entries long, which only gives us the opportunity for the first pages to fall out of cache by the time we get to the end. It is possible we should increase the size of folio_batch. Hopefully the bots let us know if this introduces any performance regressions. This patch (of 3): By making release_pages() call folios_put(), we can get rid of the calls to compound_head() for the callers that already know they have folios. We can also get rid of the lock_batch tracking as we know the size of the batch is limited by folio_batch. This does reduce the maximum number of pages for which the lruvec lock is held, from SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX (32) to PAGEVEC_SIZE (15). I do not expect this to make a significant difference, but if it does, we can increase PAGEVEC_SIZE to 31.

mm/mmu_gather: add __tlb_remove_folio_pages()
Add __tlb_remove_folio_pages(), which will remove multiple consecutive pages that belong to the same large folio, instead of only a single page. We'll be using this function when optimizing unmapping/zapping of large folios that are mapped by PTEs. We're using the remaining spare bit in an encoded_page to indicate that the next enoced page in an array contains actually shifted "nr_pages". Teach swap/freeing code about putting multiple folio references, and delayed rmap handling to remove page ranges of a folio. This extension allows for still gathering almost as many small folios as we used to (-1, because we have to prepare for a possibly bigger next entry), but still allows for gathering consecutive pages that belong to the same large folio. Note that we don't pass the folio pointer, because it is not required for now. Further, we don't support page_size != PAGE_SIZE, it won't be required for simple PTE batching. We have to provide a separate s390 implementation, but it's fairly straight forward. Another, more invasive and likely more expensive, approach would be to use folio+range or a PFN range instead of page+nr_pages. But, we should do that consistently for the whole mmu_gather. For now, let's keep it simple and add "nr_pages" only. Note that it is now possible to gather significantly more pages: In the past, we were able to gather ~10000 pages, now we can also gather ~5000 folio fragments that span multiple pages. A folio fragment on x86-64 can span up to 512 pages (2 MiB THP) and on arm64 with 64k in theory 8192 pages (512 MiB THP). Gathering more memory is not considered something we should worry about, especially because these are already corner cases. While we can gather more total memory, we won't free more folio fragments. As long as page freeing time primarily only depends on the number of involved folios, there is no effective change for !preempt configurations. However, we'll adjust tlb_batch_pages_flush() separately to handle corner cases where page freeing time grows proportionally with the actual memory size.

mm: swap: fix performance regression on sparsetruncate-tiny
The ->percpu_pvec_drained was originally introduced by commit d9ed0d08b6c6 ("mm: only drain per-cpu pagevecs once per pagevec usage") to drain per-cpu pagevecs only once per pagevec usage. But after converting the swap code to be more folio-based, the commit c2bc16817aa0 ("mm/swap: add folio_batch_move_lru()") breaks this logic, which would cause ->percpu_pvec_drained to be reset to false, that means per-cpu pagevecs will be drained multiple times per pagevec usage. In theory, there should be no functional changes when converting code to be more folio-based. We should call folio_batch_reinit() in folio_batch_move_lru() instead of folio_batch_init(). And to verify that we still need ->percpu_pvec_drained, I ran mmtests/sparsetruncate-tiny and got the following data: baseline with baseline/ patch/ Min Time 326.00 ( 0.00%) 328.00 ( -0.61%) 1st-qrtle Time 334.00 ( 0.00%) 336.00 ( -0.60%) 2nd-qrtle Time 338.00 ( 0.00%) 341.00 ( -0.89%) 3rd-qrtle Time 343.00 ( 0.00%) 347.00 ( -1.17%) Max-1 Time 326.00 ( 0.00%) 328.00 ( -0.61%) Max-5 Time 327.00 ( 0.00%) 330.00 ( -0.92%) Max-10 Time 328.00 ( 0.00%) 331.00 ( -0.91%) Max-90 Time 350.00 ( 0.00%) 357.00 ( -2.00%) Max-95 Time 395.00 ( 0.00%) 390.00 ( 1.27%) Max-99 Time 508.00 ( 0.00%) 434.00 ( 14.57%) Max Time 547.00 ( 0.00%) 476.00 ( 12.98%) Amean Time 344.61 ( 0.00%) 345.56 * -0.28%* Stddev Time 30.34 ( 0.00%) 19.51 ( 35.69%) CoeffVar Time 8.81 ( 0.00%) 5.65 ( 35.87%) BAmean-99 Time 342.38 ( 0.00%) 344.27 ( -0.55%) BAmean-95 Time 338.58 ( 0.00%) 341.87 ( -0.97%) BAmean-90 Time 336.89 ( 0.00%) 340.26 ( -1.00%) BAmean-75 Time 335.18 ( 0.00%) 338.40 ( -0.96%) BAmean-50 Time 332.54 ( 0.00%) 335.42 ( -0.87%) BAmean-25 Time 329.30 ( 0.00%) 332.00 ( -0.82%) From the above it can be seen that we get similar data to when ->percpu_pvec_drained was introduced, so we still need it. Let's call folio_batch_reinit() in folio_batch_move_lru() to restore the original logic.

mm: teach release_pages() to take an array of encoded page pointers too
release_pages() already could take either an array of page pointers, or an array of folio pointers. Expand it to also accept an array of encoded page pointers, which is what both the existing mlock() use and the upcoming mmu_gather use of encoded page pointers wants. Note that release_pages() won't actually use, or react to, any extra encoded bits. Instead, this is very much a case of "I have walked the array of encoded pages and done everything the extra bits tell me to do, now release it all". Also, while the "either page or folio pointers" dual use was handled with a cast of the pointer in "release_folios()", this takes a slightly different approach and uses the "transparent union" attribute to describe the set of arguments to the function: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Type-Attributes.html which has been supported by gcc forever, but the kernel hasn't used before. That allows us to avoid using various wrappers with casts, and just use the same function regardless of use.

mm: vmscan: make rotations a secondary factor in balancing anon vs file
We noticed a 2% webserver throughput regression after upgrading from 5.6. This could be tracked down to a shift in the anon/file reclaim balance (confirmed with swappiness) that resulted in worse reclaim efficiency and thus more kswapd activity for the same outcome. The change that exposed the problem is aae466b0052e ("mm/swap: implement workingset detection for anonymous LRU"). By qualifying swapins based on their refault distance, it lowered the cost of anon reclaim in this workload, in turn causing (much) more anon scanning than before. Scanning the anon list is more expensive due to the higher ratio of mmapped pages that may rotate during reclaim, and so the result was an increase in %sys time. Right now, rotations aren't considered a cost when balancing scan pressure between LRUs. We can end up with very few file refaults putting all the scan pressure on hot anon pages that are rotated en masse, don't get reclaimed, and never push back on the file LRU again. We still only reclaim file cache in that case, but we burn a lot CPU rotating anon pages. It's "fair" from an LRU age POV, but doesn't reflect the real cost it imposes on the system. Consider rotations as a secondary factor in balancing the LRUs. This doesn't attempt to make a precise comparison between IO cost and CPU cost, it just says: if reloads are about comparable between the lists, or rotations are overwhelmingly different, adjust for CPU work. This fixed the regression on our webservers. It has since been deployed to the entire Meta fleet and hasn't caused any problems.
