a slow path (using different gfp mask) if the fast one has failed.
Apart from that, this also align zs_malloc() interface with zspool/zbud.

Quarantine isolates freed objects in a separate queue. The objects are
returned to the allocator later, which helps to detect use-after-free
errors.
When the object is freed, its state changes from KASAN_STATE_ALLOC to
KASAN_STATE_QUARANTINE. The object is poisoned and put into quarantine
instead of being returned to the allocator, therefore every subsequent
access to that object triggers a KASAN error, and the error handler is
able to say where the object has been allocated and deallocated.
When it's time for the object to leave quarantine, its state becomes
KASAN_STATE_FREE and it's returned to the allocator. From now on the
allocator may reuse it for another allocation. Before that happens,
it's still possible to detect a use-after free on that object (it
retains the allocation/deallocation stacks).
When the allocator reuses this object, the shadow is unpoisoned and old
allocation/deallocation stacks are wiped. Therefore a use of this
object, even an incorrect one, won't trigger ASan warning.
Without the quarantine, it's not guaranteed that the objects aren't
reused immediately, that's why the probability of catching a
use-after-free is lower than with quarantine in place.
Quarantine isolates freed objects in a separate queue. The objects are
returned to the allocator later, which helps to detect use-after-free
errors.
Freed objects are first added to per-cpu quarantine queues. When a
cache is destroyed or memory shrinking is requested, the objects are
moved into the global quarantine queue. Whenever a kmalloc call allows
memory reclaiming, the oldest objects are popped out of the global queue
until the total size of objects in quarantine is less than 3/4 of the
maximum quarantine size (which is a fraction of installed physical
memory).
As long as an object remains in the quarantine, KASAN is able to report
accesses to it, so the chance of reporting a use-after-free is
increased. Once the object leaves quarantine, the allocator may reuse
it, in which case the object is unpoisoned and KASAN can't detect
incorrect accesses to it.
Right now quarantine support is only enabled in SLAB allocator.
Unification of KASAN features in SLAB and SLUB will be done later.
This patch is based on the "mm: kasan: quarantine" patch originally
prepared by Dmitry Chernenkov. A number of improvements have been
suggested by Andrey Ryabinin.

Currently, faultaround code produces young pte. This can screw up
vmscan behaviour[1], as it makes vmscan think that these pages are hot
and not push them out on first round.
During sparse file access faultaround gets more pages mapped and all of
them are young. Under memory pressure, this makes vmscan swap out anon
pages instead, or to drop other page cache pages which otherwise stay
resident.
Modify faultaround to produce old ptes, so they can easily be reclaimed
under memory pressure.
This can to some extend defeat the purpose of faultaround on machines

Since commit 92923ca3aa ("mm: meminit: only set page reserved in the

However start and end address are passed as unsigned long. This is only
32bit on i386, so it can end up marking the wrong pages reserved for
ranges at 4GB and above.
This was observed on a 32bit Xen dom0 which was booted with initial
memory set to a value below 4G but allowing to balloon in memory
(dom0_mem=1024M for example). This would define a reserved bootmem
region for the additional memory (for example on a 8GB system there was
a reverved region covering the 4GB-8GB range). But since the addresses
were passed on as unsigned long, this was actually marking all pages
from 0 to 4GB as reserved.

Since commit 3a5dda7a17 ("oom: prevent unnecessary oom kills or kernel
panics"), select_bad_process() is using for_each_process_thread().
Since oom_unkillable_task() scans all threads in the caller's thread
group and oom_task_origin() scans signal_struct of the caller's thread
group, we don't need to call oom_unkillable_task() and oom_task_origin()
on each thread. Also, since !mm test will be done later at
oom_badness(), we don't need to do !mm test on each thread. Therefore,
we only need to do TIF_MEMDIE test on each thread.
Although the original code was correct it was quite inefficient because
each thread group was scanned num_threads times which can be a lot
especially with processes with many threads. Even though the OOM is
extremely cold path it is always good to be as effective as possible
when we are inside rcu_read_lock() - aka unpreemptible context.
If we track number of TIF_MEMDIE threads inside signal_struct, we don't
need to do TIF_MEMDIE test on each thread. This will allow
select_bad_process() to use for_each_process().
This patch adds a counter to signal_struct for tracking how many
TIF_MEMDIE threads are in a given thread group, and check it at
oom_scan_process_thread() so that select_bad_process() can use
for_each_process() rather than for_each_process_thread().

task_will_free_mem is a misnomer for a more complex PF_EXITING test for
early break out from the oom killer because it is believed that such a
task would release its memory shortly and so we do not have to select an
oom victim and perform a disruptive action.
Currently we make sure that the given task is not participating in the
core dumping because it might get blocked for a long time - see commit
d003f371b2 ("oom: don't assume that a coredumping thread will exit
soon").
The check can still do better though. We shouldn't consider the task
unless the whole thread group is going down. This is rather unlikely
but not impossible. A single exiting thread would surely leave all the
address space behind. If we are really unlucky it might get stuck on
the exit path and keep its TIF_MEMDIE and so block the oom killer.

Tetsuo has properly noted that mmput slow path might get blocked waiting
for another party (e.g. exit_aio waits for an IO). If that happens the
oom_reaper would be put out of the way and will not be able to process
next oom victim. We should strive for making this context as reliable
and independent on other subsystems as much as possible.
Introduce mmput_async which will perform the slow path from an async
(WQ) context. This will delay the operation but that shouldn't be a
problem because the oom_reaper has reclaimed the victim's address space
for most cases as much as possible and the remaining context shouldn't
bind too much memory anymore. The only exception is when mmap_sem
trylock has failed which shouldn't happen too often.
The issue is only theoretical but not impossible.

Commit 36324a990c ("oom: clear TIF_MEMDIE after oom_reaper managed to

but also set OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN for the target task to hide it from the
oom killer. This works in simple cases but it is not sufficient for
(unlikely) cases where the mm is shared between independent processes
(as they do not share signal struct). If the mm had only small amount
of memory which could be reaped then another task sharing the mm could
be selected and that wouldn't help to move out from the oom situation.
Introduce MMF_OOM_REAPED mm flag which is checked in oom_badness (same
as OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN) and task is skipped if the flag is set. Set the
flag after __oom_reap_task is done with a task. This will force the
select_bad_process() to ignore all already oom reaped tasks as well as
no such task is sacrificed for its parent.

"mm: consider compaction feedback also for costly allocation" has
removed the upper bound for the reclaim/compaction retries based on the
number of reclaimed pages for costly orders. While this is desirable
the patch did miss a mis interaction between reclaim, compaction and the
retry logic. The direct reclaim tries to get zones over min watermark
while compaction backs off and returns COMPACT_SKIPPED when all zones
are below low watermark + 1<<order gap. If we are getting really close
to OOM then __compaction_suitable can keep returning COMPACT_SKIPPED a
high order request (e.g. hugetlb order-9) while the reclaim is not able
to release enough pages to get us over low watermark. The reclaim is
still able to make some progress (usually trashing over few remaining
pages) so we are not able to break out from the loop.
I have seen this happening with the same test described in "mm: consider
compaction feedback also for costly allocation" on a swapless system.
The original problem got resolved by "vmscan: consider classzone_idx in
compaction_ready" but it shows how things might go wrong when we
approach the oom event horizont.
The reason why compaction requires being over low rather than min
watermark is not clear to me. This check was there essentially since
56de7263fc ("mm: compaction: direct compact when a high-order
allocation fails"). It is clearly an implementation detail though and
we shouldn't pull it into the generic retry logic while we should be
able to cope with such eventuality. The only place in
should_compact_retry where we retry without any upper bound is for
compaction_withdrawn() case.
Introduce compaction_zonelist_suitable function which checks the given
zonelist and returns true only if there is at least one zone which would
would unblock __compaction_suitable if more memory got reclaimed. In
this implementation it checks __compaction_suitable with NR_FREE_PAGES
plus part of the reclaimable memory as the target for the watermark
check. The reclaimable memory is reduced linearly by the allocation
order. The idea is that we do not want to reclaim all the remaining
memory for a single allocation request just unblock
__compaction_suitable which doesn't guarantee we will make a further
progress.
The new helper is then used if compaction_withdrawn() feedback was
provided so we do not retry if there is no outlook for a further
progress. !costly requests shouldn't be affected much - e.g. order-2
pages would require to have at least 64kB on the reclaimable LRUs while
order-9 would need at least 32M which should be enough to not lock up.

__alloc_pages_slowpath has traditionally relied on the direct reclaim
and did_some_progress as an indicator that it makes sense to retry
allocation rather than declaring OOM. shrink_zones had to rely on
zone_reclaimable if shrink_zone didn't make any progress to prevent from
a premature OOM killer invocation - the LRU might be full of dirty or
writeback pages and direct reclaim cannot clean those up.
zone_reclaimable allows to rescan the reclaimable lists several times
and restart if a page is freed. This is really subtle behavior and it
might lead to a livelock when a single freed page keeps allocator
looping but the current task will not be able to allocate that single
page. OOM killer would be more appropriate than looping without any
progress for unbounded amount of time.
This patch changes OOM detection logic and pulls it out from shrink_zone
which is too low to be appropriate for any high level decisions such as
OOM which is per zonelist property. It is __alloc_pages_slowpath which
knows how many attempts have been done and what was the progress so far
therefore it is more appropriate to implement this logic.
The new heuristic is implemented in should_reclaim_retry helper called
from __alloc_pages_slowpath. It tries to be more deterministic and
easier to follow. It builds on an assumption that retrying makes sense
only if the currently reclaimable memory + free pages would allow the
current allocation request to succeed (as per __zone_watermark_ok) at
least for one zone in the usable zonelist.
This alone wouldn't be sufficient, though, because the writeback might
get stuck and reclaimable pages might be pinned for a really long time
or even depend on the current allocation context. Therefore there is a
backoff mechanism implemented which reduces the reclaim target after
each reclaim round without any progress. This means that we should
eventually converge to only NR_FREE_PAGES as the target and fail on the
wmark check and proceed to OOM. The backoff is simple and linear with
1/16 of the reclaimable pages for each round without any progress. We
are optimistic and reset counter for successful reclaim rounds.
Costly high order pages mostly preserve their semantic and those without
__GFP_REPEAT fail right away while those which have the flag set will
back off after the amount of reclaimable pages reaches equivalent of the
requested order. The only difference is that if there was no progress
during the reclaim we rely on zone watermark check. This is more
logical thing to do than previous 1<<order attempts which were a result
of zone_reclaimable faking the progress.

Compaction can provide a wild variation of feedback to the caller. Many
of them are implementation specific and the caller of the compaction
(especially the page allocator) shouldn't be bound to specifics of the
current implementation.
This patch abstracts the feedback into three basic types:
- compaction_made_progress - compaction was active and made some
progress.
- compaction_failed - compaction failed and further attempts to
invoke it would most probably fail and therefore it is not
worth retrying
- compaction_withdrawn - compaction wasn't invoked for an
implementation specific reasons. In the current implementation
it means that the compaction was deferred, contended or the
page scanners met too early without any progress. Retrying is
still worthwhile.

compaction_result will be used as the primary feedback channel for
compaction users. At the same time try_to_compact_pages (and
potentially others) assume a certain ordering where a more specific
feedback takes precendence.
This gets a bit awkward when we have conflicting feedback from different
zones. E.g one returing COMPACT_COMPLETE meaning the full zone has been
scanned without any outcome while other returns with COMPACT_PARTIAL aka
made some progress. The caller should get COMPACT_PARTIAL because that
means that the compaction still can make some progress. The same
applies for COMPACT_PARTIAL vs COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED.
Reorder PARTIAL to be the largest one so the larger the value is the
more progress we have done.

COMPACT_COMPLETE now means that compaction and free scanner met. This
is not very useful information if somebody just wants to use this
feedback and make any decisions based on that. The current caller might
be a poor guy who just happened to scan tiny portion of the zone and
that could be the reason no suitable pages were compacted. Make sure we
distinguish the full and partial zone walks.
Consumers should treat COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED as a potential success
and be optimistic in retrying.
The existing users of COMPACT_COMPLETE are conservatively changed to use
COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED as well but some of them should be probably
reconsidered and only defer the compaction only for COMPACT_COMPLETE
with the new semantic.
This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

try_to_compact_pages() can currently return COMPACT_SKIPPED even when
the compaction is defered for some zone just because zone DMA is skipped
in 99% of cases due to watermark checks. This makes COMPACT_DEFERRED
basically unusable for the page allocator as a feedback mechanism.
Make sure we distinguish those two states properly and switch their
ordering in the enum. This would mean that the COMPACT_SKIPPED will be
returned only when all eligible zones are skipped.
As a result COMPACT_DEFERRED handling for THP in __alloc_pages_slowpath
will be more precise and we would bail out rather than reclaim.

Compaction code is doing weird dances between COMPACT_FOO -> int ->
unsigned long
But there doesn't seem to be any reason for that. All functions which
return/use one of those constants are not expecting any other value so it
really makes sense to define an enum for them and make it clear that no
other values are expected.
This is a pure cleanup and shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

The inactive file list should still be large enough to contain readahead
windows and freshly written file data, but it no longer is the only
source for detecting multiple accesses to file pages. The workingset
refault measurement code causes recently evicted file pages that get
accessed again after a shorter interval to be promoted directly to the
active list.
With that mechanism in place, we can afford to (on a larger system)
dedicate more memory to the active file list, so we can actually cache
more of the frequently used file pages in memory, and not have them
pushed out by streaming writes, once-used streaming file reads, etc.
This can help things like database workloads, where only half the page
cache can currently be used to cache the database working set. This
patch automatically increases that fraction on larger systems, using the
same ratio that has already been used for anonymous memory.

An important function for cpusets is cpuset_node_allowed(), which
optimizes on the fact if there's a single root CPU set, it must be
trivially allowed. But the check "nr_cpusets() <= 1" doesn't use the
cpusets_enabled_key static key the right way where static keys eliminate
branching overhead with jump labels.
This patch converts it so that static key is used properly. It's also
switched to the new static key API and the checking functions are
converted to return bool instead of int. We also provide a new variant
__cpuset_zone_allowed() which expects that the static key check was
already done and they key was enabled. This is needed for
get_page_from_freelist() where we want to also avoid the relatively
slower check when ALLOC_CPUSET is not set in alloc_flags.
The impact on the page allocator microbenchmark is less than expected
but the cleanup in itself is worthwhile.

alloc_flags is a bitmask of flags but it is signed which does not
necessarily generate the best code depending on the compiler. Even
without an impact, it makes more sense that this be unsigned.

The page allocator iterates through a zonelist for zones that match the
addressing limitations and nodemask of the caller but many allocations
will not be restricted. Despite this, there is always functional call
overhead which builds up.
This patch inlines the optimistic basic case and only calls the iterator
function for the complex case. A hindrance was the fact that
cpuset_current_mems_allowed is used in the fastpath as the allowed
nodemask even though all nodes are allowed on most systems. The patch
handles this by only considering cpuset_current_mems_allowed if a cpuset
exists. As well as being faster in the fast-path, this removes some
junk in the slowpath.
The performance difference on a page allocator microbenchmark is;

There is a sizable boost to the free allocator performance. While there
is an apparent boost on the allocation side, it's likely a co-incidence
or due to the patches slightly reducing cache footprint.

If either the current task is already killed or PF_EXITING or a selected
task is PF_EXITING then the oom killer is suppressed and so is the oom
reaper. This patch adds try_oom_reaper which checks the given task and
queues it for the oom reaper if that is safe to be done meaning that the
task doesn't share the mm with an alive process.
This might help to release the memory pressure while the task tries to
exit.

I've just discovered that the useful-sounding has_transparent_hugepage()
is actually an architecture-dependent minefield: on some arches it only
builds if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y, on others it's also there when
not, but on some of those (arm and arm64) it then gives the wrong
answer; and on mips alone it's marked __init, which would crash if
called later (but so far it has not been called later).
Straighten this out: make it available to all configs, with a sensible
default in asm-generic/pgtable.h, removing its definitions from those
arches (arc, arm, arm64, sparc, tile) which are served by the default,
adding #define has_transparent_hugepage has_transparent_hugepage to
those (mips, powerpc, s390, x86) which need to override the default at
runtime, and removing the __init from mips (but maybe that kind of code
should be avoided after init: set a static variable the first time it's
called).

a VM_NOHUGEPAGE check on new_vma flags, but the new_vma is cloned from

it was in the old vma, alignment and size permitting.

Provide /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh to force an immediate update of
per-cpu into global vmstats: useful to avoid a sleep(2) or whatever
before checking counts when testing. Originally added to work around a
bug which left counts stranded indefinitely on a cpu going idle (an
inaccuracy magnified when small below-batch numbers represent "huge"
amounts of memory), but I believe that bug is now fixed: nonetheless,
this is still a useful knob.
Its schedule_on_each_cpu() is probably too expensive just to fold into
reading /proc/meminfo itself: give this mode 0600 to prevent abuse.
Allow a write or a read to do the same: nothing to read, but "grep -h
Shmem /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh /proc/meminfo" is convenient. Oh, and
since global_page_state() itself is careful to disguise any underflow as
0, hack in an "Invalid argument" and pr_warn() if a counter is negative
after the refresh - this helped to fix a misaccounting of
NR_ISOLATED_FILE in my migration code.
But on recent kernels, I find that NR_ALLOC_BATCH and NR_PAGES_SCANNED
often go negative some of the time. I have not yet worked out why, but
have no evidence that it's actually harmful. Punt for the moment by
just ignoring the anomaly on those.

Make a few cleanups in mm/shmem.c, before going on to complicate it.
shmem_alloc_page() will become more complicated: we can't afford to to
have that complication duplicated between a CONFIG_NUMA version and a
!CONFIG_NUMA version, so rearrange the #ifdef'ery there to yield a
single shmem_swapin() and a single shmem_alloc_page().
Yes, it's a shame to inflict the horrid pseudo-vma on non-NUMA
configurations, but eliminating it is a larger cleanup: I have an
alloc_pages_mpol() patchset not yet ready - mpol handling is subtle and
bug-prone, and changed yet again since my last version.
Move __SetPageLocked, __SetPageSwapBacked from shmem_getpage_gfp() to
shmem_alloc_page(): that SwapBacked flag will be useful in future, to
help to distinguish different cases appropriately.
And the SGP_DIRTY variant of SGP_CACHE is hard to understand and of
little use (IIRC it dates back to when shmem_getpage() returned the page
unlocked): kill it and do the necessary in shmem_file_read_iter().
But an arm64 build then complained that info may be uninitialized (where
shmem_getpage_gfp() deletes a freshly alloced page beyond eof), and
advancing to an "sgp <= SGP_CACHE" test jogged it back to reality.

Konstantin Khlebnikov pointed out (nearly four years ago, when lumpy
reclaim was removed) that lru_size can be updated by -nr_taken once per
call to isolate_lru_pages(), instead of page by page.
Update it inside isolate_lru_pages(), or at its two callsites? I chose
to update it at the callsites, rearranging and grouping the updates by
nr_taken and nr_scanned together in both.
With one exception, mem_cgroup_update_lru_size(,lru,) is then used where
__mod_zone_page_state(,NR_LRU_BASE+lru,) is used; and we shall be adding
some more calls in a future commit. Make the code a little smaller and
simpler by incorporating stat update in lru_size update.
The exception was move_active_pages_to_lru(), which aggregated the
pgmoved stat update separately from the individual lru_size updates; but
I still think this a simplification worth making.
However, the __mod_zone_page_state is not peculiar to mem_cgroups: so
better use the name update_lru_size, calls mem_cgroup_update_lru_size
when CONFIG_MEMCG.

Though debug kernels have a VM_BUG_ON to help protect from misaccounting
lru_size, non-debug kernels are liable to wrap it around: and then the
vast unsigned long size draws page reclaim into a loop of repeatedly
doing nothing on an empty list, without even a cond_resched().
That soft lockup looks confusingly like an over-busy reclaim scenario,
with lots of contention on the lru_lock in shrink_inactive_list(): yet
has a totally different origin.
Help differentiate with a custom warning in
mem_cgroup_update_lru_size(), even in non-debug kernels; and reset the
size to avoid the lockup. But the particular bug which suggested this
change was mine alone, and since fixed.
Make it a WARN_ONCE: the first occurrence is the most informative, a
flurry may follow, yet even when rate-limited little more is learnt.
