In scan_swap_map_slots(), si->highest_bit can by changed by
swap_range_alloc() concurrently. All reads on si->highest_bit except one
is either protected by lock or read using READ_ONCE. So mark the one racy
read on si->highest_bit as benign using READ_ONCE.
This patch is aimed at reducing the number of benign races reported by
KCSAN in order to focus future debugging effort on harmful races.

In __folio_remove_rmap(), a large folio is added to deferred split list if
any page in a folio loses its final mapping. But it is possible that the
folio is fully unmapped and adding it to deferred split list is
unnecessary.
For PMD-mapped THPs, that was not really an issue, because removing the
last PMD mapping in the absence of PTE mappings would not have added the
folio to the deferred split queue.
However, for PTE-mapped THPs, which are now more prominent due to mTHP,
they are always added to the deferred split queue. One side effect is
that the THP_DEFERRED_SPLIT_PAGE stat for a PTE-mapped folio can be
unintentionally increased, making it look like there are many partially
mapped folios -- although the whole folio is fully unmapped stepwise.
Core-mm now tries batch-unmapping consecutive PTEs of PTE-mapped THPs
where possible starting from commit b06dc281aa ("mm/rmap: introduce
folio_remove_rmap_[pte|ptes|pmd]()"). When it happens, a whole PTE-mapped
folio is unmapped in one go and can avoid being added to deferred split
list, reducing the THP_DEFERRED_SPLIT_PAGE noise. But there will still be
noise when we cannot batch-unmap a complete PTE-mapped folio in one go --
or where this type of batching is not implemented yet, e.g., migration.
To avoid the unnecessary addition, folio->_nr_pages_mapped is checked to
tell if the whole folio is unmapped. If the folio is already on deferred
split list, it will be skipped, too.
Note: commit 98046944a159 ("mm: huge_memory: add the missing
folio_test_pmd_mappable() for THP split statistics") tried to exclude mTHP
deferred split stats from THP_DEFERRED_SPLIT_PAGE, but it does not fix the
above issue. A fully unmapped PTE-mapped order-9 THP was still added to
deferred split list and counted as THP_DEFERRED_SPLIT_PAGE, since nr is
512 (non zero), level is RMAP_LEVEL_PTE, and inside deferred_split_folio()
the order-9 folio is folio_test_pmd_mappable().

Patch series "mm/damon: add a DAMOS filter type for page granularity
access recheck".
DAMON provides its best-effort accuracy-overhead tradeoff under the
user-defined ranges of acceptable level of the monitoring accuracy and
overhead. A recent discussion for tiered memory management support from
DAMON[1] concluded that finding memory regions of specific access pattern
with low overhead despite of low accuracy via DAMON first, and then double
checking the access of the region again in a finer (e.g., page)
granularity could be a useful strategy for some DAMOS schemes.
Add a new type of DAMOS filter, namely 'young' for such a case. It checks
each page of DAMOS target region is accessed since the last check, and
filters it out or in if 'matching' parameter is 'true' or 'false',
respectively.
Because this is a filter type that applied in page granularity, the
support depends on DAMON operations set, similar to 'anon' and 'memcg'
DAMOS filter types. Implement the support on the DAMON operations set for
the physical address space, 'paddr', since one of the expected usages[1]
is based on the physical address space.

Instead of checking the anon_vma early in the fault path where all page
faults pay the cost, delay it until we know we're going to need the
anon_vma to be filled in. This will have a slight negative effect on the
first fault in an anonymous VMA, but it shortens every other page fault.
It also makes the code slightly cleaner as the anon and file backed fault
handling look more similar.
The Intel kernel test bot reports a 3x improvement in vm-scalability
throughput with the small-allocs-mt test. This is clearly an extreme
situation that won't be replicated in any real-world workload, but it's a
nice win.

This is from delaying taking the mmap_lock for page faults until we
actually need the mmap_lock in order to assign an anon_vma to the vma. It
cleans up the page fault path a little by making the anon fault handler
more similar to the file fault handler.

wb_calc_thresh() is calculating wb's share of bg_thresh in the global
domain. However in case of cgroup writeback this is not the right
thing to do. Consider the following domain hierarchy:
global domain (> 20G)
/ \
cgroup1 (10G) cgroup2 (10G)
| |
bdi wb1 wb2
and assume wb1 and wb2 have the same bandwidth and the background
threshold is set at 10%. The bg_thresh of cgroup1 and cgroup2 is going
to be 1G. Now because wb_calc_thresh(mdtc->wb, mdtc->bg_thresh)
calculates per-wb threshold in the global domain as (wb bandwidth) /
(domain bandwidth) it returns bg_thresh for wb1 as 0.5G although it has
nobody to compete against in cgroup1.
Fix the problem by calculating wb's share of bg_thresh in the cgroup
domain.
Test as following:
/* make it easier to observe the issue */
echo 300000 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs
echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
/* run fio in wb1 */
cd /sys/fs/cgroup
echo "+memory +io" > cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir group1
cd group1
echo 10G > memory.high
echo 10G > memory.max
echo $$ > cgroup.procs
mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/vdb
mount /dev/vdb /bdi1/
fio -name test -filename=/bdi1/file -size=600M -ioengine=libaio -bs=4K \
-iodepth=1 -rw=write -direct=0 --time_based -runtime=600 -invalidate=0
/* run fio in wb2 with a new shell */
cd /sys/fs/cgroup
mkdir group2
cd group2
echo 10G > memory.high
echo 10G > memory.max
echo $$ > cgroup.procs
mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/vdc
mount /dev/vdc /bdi2/
fio -name test -filename=/bdi2/file -size=600M -ioengine=libaio -bs=4K \
-iodepth=1 -rw=write -direct=0 --time_based -runtime=600 -invalidate=0
Before fix, the wrttien pages of wb1 and wb2 reported from
toos/writeback/wb_monitor.py keep growing. After fix, rare written pages
are accumulated.
There is no obvious change in fio result.

This patch (of 4):
Originally, __wb_calc_thresh always calculate wb's share of dirty
throttling threshold. By getting thresh of wb_domain from caller,
__wb_calc_thresh could be used for both dirty throttling and dirty
background threshold.
This is a preparation to correct threshold calculation of wb in cgroup.

This patch (of 5):
/sys/kernel/debug/bdi/xxx/stats is supposed to show writeback information
of whole bdi, but only writeback information of bdi in root cgroup is
collected. So writeback information in non-root cgroup are missing now.
To be more specific, considering following case:
/* create writeback cgroup */
cd /sys/fs/cgroup
echo "+memory +io" > cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir group1
cd group1
echo $$ > cgroup.procs
/* do writeback in cgroup */
fio -name test -filename=/dev/vdb ...
/* get writeback info of bdi */
cat /sys/kernel/debug/bdi/xxx/stats
The cat result unexpectedly implies that there is no writeback on target
bdi.
Fix this by collecting stats of all wb in bdi instead of only wb in
root cgroup.

We want to limit the use of page_mapcount() to places where absolutely
required, to prepare for kernel configs where we won't keep track of
per-page mapcounts in large folios.
khugepaged is one of the remaining "more challenging" page_mapcount()
users, but we might be able to move away from page_mapcount() without
resulting in a significant behavior change that would warrant
special-casing based on kernel configs.
In 2020, we first added support to khugepaged for collapsing COW-shared
pages via commit 9445689f3b ("khugepaged: allow to collapse a page
shared across fork"), followed by support for collapsing PTE-mapped THP in
commit 5503fbf2b0 ("khugepaged: allow to collapse PTE-mapped compound
pages") and limiting the memory waste via the "page_count() > 1" check in
commit 71a2c112a0 ("khugepaged: introduce 'max_ptes_shared' tunable").
As a default, khugepaged will allow up to half of the PTEs to map shared
pages: where page_mapcount() > 1. MADV_COLLAPSE ignores the khugepaged
setting.
khugepaged does currently not care about swapcache page references, and
does not check under folio lock: so in some corner cases the "shared vs.
exclusive" detection might be a bit off, making us detect "exclusive" when
it's actually "shared".
Most of our anonymous folios in the system are usually exclusive. We
frequently see sharing of anonymous folios for a short period of time,
after which our short-lived suprocesses either quit or exec().
There are some famous examples, though, where child processes exist for a
long time, and where memory is COW-shared with a lot of processes
(webservers, webbrowsers, sshd, ...) and COW-sharing is crucial for
reducing the memory footprint. We don't want to suddenly change the
behavior to result in a significant increase in memory waste.
Interestingly, khugepaged will only collapse an anonymous THP if at least
one PTE is writable. After fork(), that means that something (usually a
page fault) populated at least a single exclusive anonymous THP in that
PMD range.
So ... what happens when we switch to "is this folio mapped shared"
instead of "is this page mapped shared" by using
folio_likely_mapped_shared()?
For "not-COW-shared" folios, small folios and for THPs (large folios) that
are completely mapped into at least one process, switching to
folio_likely_mapped_shared() will not result in a change.
We'll only see a change for COW-shared PTE-mapped THPs that are partially
mapped into all involved processes.
There are two cases to consider:
(A) folio_likely_mapped_shared() returns "false" for a PTE-mapped THP
If the folio is detected as exclusive, and it actually is exclusive,
there is no change: page_mapcount() == 1. This is the common case
without fork() or with short-lived child processes.
folio_likely_mapped_shared() might currently still detect a folio as
exclusive although it is shared (false negatives): if the first page is
not mapped multiple times and if the average per-page mapcount is smaller
than 1, implying that (1) the folio is partially mapped and (2) if we are
responsible for many mapcounts by mapping many pages others can't
("mostly exclusive") (3) if we are not responsible for many mapcounts by
mapping little pages ("mostly shared") it won't make a big impact on the
end result.
So while we might now detect a page as "exclusive" although it isn't,
it's not expected to make a big difference in common cases.
(B) folio_likely_mapped_shared() returns "true" for a PTE-mapped THP
folio_likely_mapped_shared() will never detect a large anonymous folio
as shared although it is exclusive: there are no false positives.
If we detect a THP as shared, at least one page of the THP is mapped by
another process. It could well be that some pages are actually exclusive.
For example, our child processes could have unmapped/COW'ed some pages
such that they would now be exclusive to out process, which we now
would treat as still-shared.
Examples:
(1) Parent maps all pages of a THP, child maps some pages. We detect
all pages in the parent as shared although some are actually
exclusive.
(2) Parent maps all but some page of a THP, child maps the remainder.
We detect all pages of the THP that the parent maps as shared
although they are all exclusive.
In (1) we wouldn't collapse a THP right now already: no PTE
is writable, because a write fault would have resulted in COW of a
single page and the parent would no longer map all pages of that THP.
For (2) we would have collapsed a THP in the parent so far, now we
wouldn't as long as the child process is still alive: unless the child
process unmaps the remaining THP pages or we decide to split that THP.
Possibly, the child COW'ed many pages, meaning that it's likely that
we can populate a THP for our child first, and then for our parent.
For (2), we are making really bad use of the THP in the first
place (not even mapped completely in at least one process). If the
THP would be completely partially mapped, it would be on the deferred
split queue where we would split it lazily later.
For short-running child processes, we don't particularly care. For
long-running processes, the expectation is that such scenarios are
rather rare: further, a THP might be best placed if most data in the
PMD range is actually written, implying that we'll have to COW more
pages first before khugepaged would collapse it.
To summarize, in the common case, this change is not expected to matter
much. The more common application of khugepaged operates on exclusive
pages, either before fork() or after a child quit.
Can we improve (A)? Yes, if we implement more precise tracking of "mapped
shared" vs. "mapped exclusively", we could get rid of the false negatives
completely.
Can we improve (B)? We could count how many pages of a large folio we map
inside the current page table and detect that we are responsible for most
of the folio mapcount and conclude "as good as exclusive", which might
help in some cases. ... but likely, some other mechanism should detect
that the THP is not a good use in the scenario (not even mapped completely
in a single process) and try splitting that folio lazily etc.
We'll move the folio_test_anon() check before our "shared" check, so we
might get more expressive results for SCAN_EXCEED_SHARED_PTE: this order
of checks now matches the one in __collapse_huge_page_isolate(). Extend
documentation.

A data-race issue in memcg rstat occurs when two distinct code paths
access the same 4-byte region concurrently. KCSAN detection triggers the
following BUG as a result.
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __count_memcg_events / mem_cgroup_css_rstat_flush

<snip>
value changed: 0x00000029 -> 0x00000000
The race occurs because two code paths access the same "stats_updates"
location. Although "stats_updates" is a per-CPU variable, it is remotely
accessed by another CPU at
cgroup_rstat_flush_locked()->mem_cgroup_css_rstat_flush(), leading to the
data race mentioned.
Considering that memcg_rstat_updated() is in the hot code path, adding a
lock to protect it may not be desirable, especially since this variable
pertains solely to statistics.
Therefore, annotating accesses to stats_updates with READ/WRITE_ONCE() can
prevent KCSAN splats and potential partial reads/writes.
