THP migration is hacked into the generic migration with rather
surprising semantic. The migration allocation callback is supposed to
check whether the THP can be migrated at once and if that is not the
case then it allocates a simple page to migrate. unmap_and_move then
fixes that up by spliting the THP into small pages while moving the head
page to the newly allocated order-0 page. Remaning pages are moved to
the LRU list by split_huge_page. The same happens if the THP allocation
fails. This is really ugly and error prone [1].
I also believe that split_huge_page to the LRU lists is inherently wrong
because all tail pages are not migrated. Some callers will just work
around that by retrying (e.g. memory hotplug). There are other pfn
walkers which are simply broken though. e.g. madvise_inject_error will
migrate head and then advances next pfn by the huge page size.
do_move_page_to_node_array, queue_pages_range (migrate_pages, mbind),
will simply split the THP before migration if the THP migration is not
supported then falls back to single page migration but it doesn't handle
tail pages if the THP migration path is not able to allocate a fresh THP
so we end up with ENOMEM and fail the whole migration which is a
questionable behavior. Page compaction doesn't try to migrate large
pages so it should be immune.
This patch tries to unclutter the situation by moving the special THP
handling up to the migrate_pages layer where it actually belongs. We
simply split the THP page into the existing list if unmap_and_move fails
with ENOMEM and retry. So we will _always_ migrate all THP subpages and
specific migrate_pages users do not have to deal with this case in a
special way.

No allocation callback is using this argument anymore. new_page_node
used to use this parameter to convey node_id resp. migration error up
to move_pages code (do_move_page_to_node_array). The error status never
made it into the final status field and we have a better way to
communicate node id to the status field now. All other allocation
callbacks simply ignored the argument so we can drop it finally.

Patch series "unclutter thp migration"
Motivation:
THP migration is hacked into the generic migration with rather
surprising semantic. The migration allocation callback is supposed to
check whether the THP can be migrated at once and if that is not the
case then it allocates a simple page to migrate. unmap_and_move then
fixes that up by splitting the THP into small pages while moving the
head page to the newly allocated order-0 page. Remaining pages are
moved to the LRU list by split_huge_page. The same happens if the THP
allocation fails. This is really ugly and error prone [2].
I also believe that split_huge_page to the LRU lists is inherently wrong
because all tail pages are not migrated. Some callers will just work
around that by retrying (e.g. memory hotplug). There are other pfn
walkers which are simply broken though. e.g. madvise_inject_error will
migrate head and then advances next pfn by the huge page size.
do_move_page_to_node_array, queue_pages_range (migrate_pages, mbind),
will simply split the THP before migration if the THP migration is not
supported then falls back to single page migration but it doesn't handle
tail pages if the THP migration path is not able to allocate a fresh THP
so we end up with ENOMEM and fail the whole migration which is a
questionable behavior. Page compaction doesn't try to migrate large
pages so it should be immune.
The first patch reworks do_pages_move which relies on a very ugly
calling semantic when the return status is pushed to the migration path
via private pointer. It uses pre allocated fixed size batching to
achieve that. We simply cannot do the same if a THP is to be split
during the migration path which is done in the patch 3. Patch 2 is
follow up cleanup which removes the mentioned return status calling
convention ugliness.
On a side note:
There are some semantic issues I have encountered on the way when
working on patch 1 but I am not addressing them here. E.g. trying to
move THP tail pages will result in either success or EBUSY (the later
one more likely once we isolate head from the LRU list). Hugetlb
reports EACCESS on tail pages. Some errors are reported via status
parameter but migration failures are not even though the original
`reason' argument suggests there was an intention to do so. From a
quick look into git history this never worked. I have tried to keep the
semantic unchanged.
Then there is a relatively minor thing that the page isolation might
fail because of pages not being on the LRU - e.g. because they are
sitting on the per-cpu LRU caches. Easily fixable.
This patch (of 3):
do_pages_move is supposed to move user defined memory (an array of
addresses) to the user defined numa nodes (an array of nodes one for
each address). The user provided status array then contains resulting
numa node for each address or an error. The semantic of this function
is little bit confusing because only some errors are reported back.
Notably migrate_pages error is only reported via the return value. This
patch doesn't try to address these semantic nuances but rather change
the underlying implementation.
Currently we are processing user input (which can be really large) in
batches which are stored to a temporarily allocated page. Each address
is resolved to its struct page and stored to page_to_node structure
along with the requested target numa node. The array of these
structures is then conveyed down the page migration path via private
argument. new_page_node then finds the corresponding structure and
allocates the proper target page.
What is the problem with the current implementation and why to change
it? Apart from being quite ugly it also doesn't cope with unexpected
pages showing up on the migration list inside migrate_pages path. That
doesn't happen currently but the follow up patch would like to make the
thp migration code more clear and that would need to split a THP into
the list for some cases.
How does the new implementation work? Well, instead of batching into a
fixed size array we simply batch all pages that should be migrated to
the same node and isolate all of them into a linked list which doesn't
require any additional storage. This should work reasonably well
because page migration usually migrates larger ranges of memory to a
specific node. So the common case should work equally well as the
current implementation. Even if somebody constructs an input where the
target numa nodes would be interleaved we shouldn't see a large
performance impact because page migration alone doesn't really benefit
from batching. mmap_sem batching for the lookup is quite questionable
and isolate_lru_page which would benefit from batching is not using it
even in the current implementation.

syzbot has triggered a NULL ptr dereference when allocation fault
injection enforces a failure and alloc_mem_cgroup_per_node_info
initializes memcg->nodeinfo only half way through.
But __mem_cgroup_free still tries to free all per-node data and
dereferences pn->lruvec_stat_cpu unconditioanlly even if the specific
per-node data hasn't been initialized.
The bug is quite unlikely to hit because small allocations do not fail
and we would need quite some numa nodes to make struct
mem_cgroup_per_node large enough to cross the costly order.

Calling swapon() on a zero length swap file on SSD can lead to a
divide-by-zero.
Although creating such files isn't possible with mkswap and they woud be
considered invalid, it would be better for the swapon code to be more
robust and handle this condition gracefully (return -EINVAL).
Especially since the fix is small and straightforward.
To help with wear leveling on SSD, the swapon syscall calculates a
random position in the swap file using modulo p->highest_bit, which is
set to maxpages - 1 in read_swap_header.
If the swap file is zero length, read_swap_header sets maxpages=1 and
last_page=0, resulting in p->highest_bit=0 and we divide-by-zero when we
modulo p->highest_bit in swapon syscall.
This can be prevented by having read_swap_header return zero if
last_page is zero.

Commit a983b5ebee ("mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in
memory.stat reporting") added per-cpu drift to all memory cgroup stats
and events shown in memory.stat and memory.events.
For memory.stat this is acceptable. But memory.events issues file
notifications, and somebody polling the file for changes will be
confused when the counters in it are unchanged after a wakeup.
Luckily, the events in memory.events - MEMCG_LOW, MEMCG_HIGH, MEMCG_MAX,
MEMCG_OOM - are sufficiently rare and high-level that we don't need
per-cpu buffering for them: MEMCG_HIGH and MEMCG_MAX would be the most
frequent, but they're counting invocations of reclaim, which is a
complex operation that touches many shared cachelines.
This splits memory.events from the generic VM events and tracks them in
their own, unbuffered atomic counters. That's also cleaner, as it
eliminates the ugly enum nesting of VM and cgroup events.

A THP memcg charge can trigger the oom killer since 2516035499 ("mm,
thp: remove __GFP_NORETRY from khugepaged and madvised allocations").
We have used an explicit __GFP_NORETRY previously which ruled the OOM
killer automagically.
Memcg charge path should be semantically compliant with the allocation
path and that means that if we do not trigger the OOM killer for costly
orders which should do the same in the memcg charge path as well.
Otherwise we are forcing callers to distinguish the two and use
different gfp masks which is both non-intuitive and bug prone. As soon
as we get a costly high order kmalloc user we even do not have any means
to tell the memcg specific gfp mask to prevent from OOM because the
charging is deep within guts of the slab allocator.
The unexpected memcg OOM on THP has already been fixed upstream by
9d3c3354bb ("mm, thp: do not cause memcg oom for thp") but this is a
one-off fix rather than a generic solution. Teach mem_cgroup_oom to
bail out on costly order requests to fix the THP issue as well as any
other costly OOM eligible allocations to be added in future.
Also revert 9d3c3354bb because special gfp for THP is no longer
needed.

Use of pte_write(pte) is only valid for present pte, the common code
which set the migration entry can be reach for both valid present pte
and special swap entry (for device memory). Fix the code to use the
mpfn value which properly handle both cases.
On x86 this did not have any bad side effect because pte write bit is
below PAGE_BIT_GLOBAL and thus special swap entry have it set to 0 which
in turn means we were always creating read only special migration entry.
So once migration did finish we always write protected the CPU page
table entry (moreover this is only an issue when migrating from device
memory to system memory). End effect is that CPU write access would
fault again and restore write permission.
This behaviour isn't too bad; it just burns CPU cycles by forcing CPU to
take a second fault on write access. ie, double faulting the same
address. There is no corruption or incorrect states (it behaves as a
COWed page from a fork with a mapcount of 1).

change_pte_range is called from task work context to mark PTEs for
receiving NUMA faulting hints. If the marked pages are dirty then
migration may fail. Some filesystems cannot migrate dirty pages without
blocking so are skipped in MIGRATE_ASYNC mode which just wastes CPU.
Even when they can, it can be a waste of cycles when the pages are
shared forcing higher scan rates. This patch avoids marking shared
dirty pages for hinting faults but also will skip a migration if the
page was dirtied after the scanner updated a clean page.
This is most noticeable running the NASA Parallel Benchmark when backed
by btrfs, the default root filesystem for some distributions, but also
noticeable when using XFS.
The following are results from a 4-socket machine running a 4.16-rc4
kernel with some scheduler patches that are pending for the next merge
window.
4.16.0-rc4 4.16.0-rc4

Time mg.D 107.73 ( 0.00%) 108.22 ( -0.45%)
is.D regresses slightly in terms of absolute time but note that that
particular load varies quite a bit from run to run. The more relevant
observation is the total system CPU usage.
4.16.0-rc4 4.16.0-rc4
schedtip-20180309 nodirty-v1
User 71471.91 70627.04
System 11078.96 8256.13
Elapsed 661.66 632.74
That is a substantial drop in system CPU usage and overall the workload
completes faster. The NUMA balancing statistics are also interesting
NUMA base PTE updates 111407972 139848884
NUMA huge PMD updates 206506 264869
NUMA page range updates 217139044 275461812
NUMA hint faults 4300924 3719784
NUMA hint local faults 3012539 3416618
NUMA hint local percent 70 91
NUMA pages migrated 1517487 1358420
While more PTEs are scanned due to changes in what faults are gathered,
it's clear that a far higher percentage of faults are local as the bulk
of the remote hits were dirty pages that, in this case with btrfs, had
no chance of migrating.
The following is a comparison when using XFS as that is a more realistic
filesystem choice for a data partition
4.16.0-rc4 4.16.0-rc4
schedtip-20180309 nodirty-v1r47
Time cg.D 485.28 ( 0.00%) 442.62 ( 8.79%)

Time mg.D 142.65 ( 0.00%) 105.83 ( 25.81%)
That is a reasonable gain on two relatively long-lived workloads. While
not presented, there is also a substantial drop in system CPu usage and
the NUMA balancing stats show similar improvements in locality as btrfs
did.

that are fill inside the pfns array of the hmm_range struct. With this
device driver can get pfn that match their own private encoding out of HMM
without having to do any conversion.

This changes hmm_vma_fault() to not take a global write fault flag for a
range but instead rely on caller to populate HMM pfns array with proper
fault flag ie HMM_PFN_VALID if driver want read fault for that address or
HMM_PFN_VALID and HMM_PFN_WRITE for write.
Moreover by setting HMM_PFN_DEVICE_PRIVATE the device driver can ask for
device private memory to be migrated back to system memory through page
fault.
This is more flexible API and it better reflects how device handles and
reports fault.

memcg reclaim may alter pgdat->flags based on the state of LRU lists in
cgroup and its children. PGDAT_WRITEBACK may force kswapd to sleep
congested_wait(), PGDAT_DIRTY may force kswapd to writeback filesystem
pages. But the worst here is PGDAT_CONGESTED, since it may force all
direct reclaims to stall in wait_iff_congested(). Note that only kswapd
have powers to clear any of these bits. This might just never happen if
cgroup limits configured that way. So all direct reclaims will stall as
long as we have some congested bdi in the system.
Leave all pgdat->flags manipulations to kswapd. kswapd scans the whole
pgdat, only kswapd can clear pgdat->flags once node is balanced, thus
it's reasonable to leave all decisions about node state to kswapd.
Why only kswapd? Why not allow to global direct reclaim change these
flags? It is because currently only kswapd can clear these flags. I'm
less worried about the case when PGDAT_CONGESTED falsely not set, and
more worried about the case when it falsely set. If direct reclaimer
sets PGDAT_CONGESTED, do we have guarantee that after the congestion
problem is sorted out, kswapd will be woken up and clear the flag? It
seems like there is no such guarantee. E.g. direct reclaimers may
eventually balance pgdat and kswapd simply won't wake up (see
wakeup_kswapd()).
Moving pgdat->flags manipulation to kswapd, means that cgroup2 recalim
now loses its congestion throttling mechanism. Add per-cgroup
congestion state and throttle cgroup2 reclaimers if memcg is in
congestion state.
Currently there is no need in per-cgroup PGDAT_WRITEBACK and PGDAT_DIRTY
bits since they alter only kswapd behavior.
The problem could be easily demonstrated by creating heavy congestion in
one cgroup:
echo "+memory" > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/congester
echo 512M > /sys/fs/cgroup/congester/memory.max
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/congester/cgroup.procs
/* generate a lot of diry data on slow HDD */
while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb/zeroes bs=1M count=1024; done &
....
while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb/zeroes bs=1M count=1024; done &
and some job in another cgroup:
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/victim
echo 128M > /sys/fs/cgroup/victim/memory.max
# time cat /dev/sda > /dev/null
real 10m15.054s
user 0m0.487s
sys 1m8.505s
According to the tracepoint in wait_iff_congested(), the 'cat' spent 50%
of the time sleeping there.
With the patch, cat don't waste time anymore:
# time cat /dev/sda > /dev/null
real 5m32.911s
user 0m0.411s

We have separate LRU list for each memory cgroup. Memory reclaim
iterates over cgroups and calls shrink_inactive_list() every inactive
LRU list. Based on the state of a single LRU shrink_inactive_list() may
flag the whole node as dirty,congested or under writeback. This is
obviously wrong and hurtful. It's especially hurtful when we have
possibly small congested cgroup in system. Than *all* direct reclaims
waste time by sleeping in wait_iff_congested(). And the more memcgs in
the system we have the longer memory allocation stall is, because
wait_iff_congested() called on each lru-list scan.
Sum reclaim stats across all visited LRUs on node and flag node as
dirty, congested or under writeback based on that sum. Also call
congestion_wait(), wait_iff_congested() once per pgdat scan, instead of
once per lru-list scan.
This only fixes the problem for global reclaim case. Per-cgroup reclaim
may alter global pgdat flags too, which is wrong. But that is separate
issue and will be addressed in the next patch.
This change will not have any effect on a systems with all workload
concentrated in a single cgroup.

Indirectly reclaimable memory can consume a significant part of total
memory and it's actually reclaimable (it will be released under actual
memory pressure).
So, the overcommit logic should treat it as free.
Otherwise, it's possible to cause random system-wide memory allocation
failures by consuming a significant amount of memory by indirectly
reclaimable memory, e.g. dentry external names.
If overcommit policy GUESS is used, it might be used for denial of
service attack under some conditions.
The following program illustrates the approach. It causes the kernel to
allocate an unreclaimable kmalloc-256 chunk for each stat() call, so
that at some point the overcommit logic may start blocking large
allocation system-wide.
int main()
{
char buf[256];
unsigned long i;
struct stat statbuf;
buf[0] = '/';
for (i = 1; i < sizeof(buf); i++)
buf[i] = '_';
for (i = 0; 1; i++) {
sprintf(&buf[248], "%8lu", i);
stat(buf, &statbuf);
}
return 0;
}
This patch in combination with related indirectly reclaimable memory
patches closes this issue.

I received a report about suspicious growth of unreclaimable slabs on
some machines. I've found that it happens on machines with low memory
pressure, and these unreclaimable slabs are external names attached to
dentries.
External names are allocated using generic kmalloc() function, so they
are accounted as unreclaimable. But they are held by dentries, which
are reclaimable, and they will be reclaimed under the memory pressure.
In particular, this breaks MemAvailable calculation, as it doesn't take
unreclaimable slabs into account. This leads to a silly situation, when
a machine is almost idle, has no memory pressure and therefore has a big
dentry cache. And the resulting MemAvailable is too low to start a new
workload.
To address the issue, the NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES counter is
used to track the amount of memory, consumed by external names. The
counter is increased in the dentry allocation path, if an external name
structure is allocated; and it's decreased in the dentry freeing path.
To reproduce the problem I've used the following Python script:
import os
for iter in range (0, 10000000):
try:
name = ("/some_long_name_%d" % iter) + "_" * 220
os.stat(name)
except Exception:
pass
Without this patch:
$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemAvailable
MemAvailable: 7811688 kB
$ python indirect.py
$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemAvailable
MemAvailable: 2753052 kB
With the patch:
$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemAvailable
MemAvailable: 7809516 kB
$ python indirect.py
$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemAvailable
MemAvailable: 7749144 kB

Patch series "indirectly reclaimable memory", v2.
This patchset introduces the concept of indirectly reclaimable memory
and applies it to fix the issue of when a big number of dentries with
external names can significantly affect the MemAvailable value.
This patch (of 3):
Introduce a concept of indirectly reclaimable memory and adds the
corresponding memory counter and /proc/vmstat item.
Indirectly reclaimable memory is any sort of memory, used by the kernel
(except of reclaimable slabs), which is actually reclaimable, i.e. will
be released under memory pressure.
The counter is in bytes, as it's not always possible to count such
objects in pages. The name contains BYTES by analogy to
NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB.

overwrites any settings done with the nobp/no_spectre_v2/spectre_v2

evaluation of the early parameters but before the early_initcall

There's some inconsistency with what to set the output parameter filterp
when passing to create_filter(..., struct event_filter **filterp).
Whatever filterp points to, should be NULL when calling this function. The
create_filter() calls create_filter_start() with a pointer to a local
"filter" variable that is set to NULL. The create_filter_start() has a
WARN_ON() if the passed in pointer isn't pointing to a value set to NULL.
Ideally, create_filter() should pass the filterp variable it received to
create_filter_start() and not hide it as with a local variable, this allowed
create_filter() to fail, and not update the passed in filter, and the caller
of create_filter() then tried to free filter, which was never initialized to
anything, causing memory corruption.

tu->offset is unsigned long, not a pointer, thus %lx should
be used to print it, not the %px.

uprobes cannot successfully attach to binaries located in a directory
mounted with overlayfs.
To verify, create directories for mounting overlayfs
(upper,lower,work,merge), move some binary into merge/ and use readelf
to obtain some known instruction of the binary. I used /bin/true and the
entry instruction(0x13b0):
$ mount -t overlay overlay -o lowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work merge
$ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
$ echo 'p:true_entry PATH_TO_MERGE/merge/true:0x13b0' > uprobe_events
$ echo 1 > events/uprobes/true_entry/enable
This returns 'bash: echo: write error: Input/output error' and dmesg
tells us 'event trace: Could not enable event true_entry'
This change makes create_trace_uprobe() look for the real inode of a
dentry. In the case of normal filesystems, this simplifies to just
returning the inode. In the case of overlayfs(and similar fs) we will
obtain the underlying dentry and corresponding inode, upon which uprobes
can successfully register.
Running the example above with the patch applied, we can see that the
uprobe is enabled and will output to trace as expected.

====================
vhost: fix vhost_vq_access_ok() log check
v3:
* Rebased onto net/master and resolved conflict [DaveM]
v2:
* Rewrote the conditional to make the vq access check clearer [Linus]
* Added Patch 2 to make the return type consistent and harder to misuse [Linus]
The first patch fixes the vhost virtqueue access check which was recently
broken. The second patch replaces the int return type with bool to prevent
future bugs.

Currently vhost *_access_ok() functions return int. This is error-prone
because there are two popular conventions:
1. 0 means failure, 1 means success
2. -errno means failure, 0 means success
Although vhost mostly uses #1, it does not do so consistently.
umem_access_ok() uses #2.
This patch changes the return type from int to bool so that false means
failure and true means success. This eliminates a potential source of
errors.
