The only in-kernel users that need PageMovable() to be exported are z3fold
and zsmalloc and they are only using it for dubious debugging
functionality. So remove those usages and the export so that no driver
code accidentally thinks that they are allowed to use this symbol.

This patch adds POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE to vma_has_recency() so that the LRU
algorithm can ignore access to mapped files marked by this flag.
The advantages of POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE are:
1. Unlike MADV_SEQUENTIAL and MADV_RANDOM, it does not alter the
default readahead behavior.
2. Unlike MADV_SEQUENTIAL and MADV_RANDOM, it does not split VMAs and
therefore does not take mmap_lock.
3. Unlike MADV_COLD, setting it has a negligible cost, regardless of
how many pages it affects.
Its limitations are:
1. Like POSIX_FADV_RANDOM and POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL, it currently does
not support range. IOW, its scope is the entire file.
2. It currently does not ignore access through file descriptors.
Specifically, for the active/inactive LRU, given a file page shared
by two users and one of them having set POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE on the
file, this page will be activated upon the second user accessing
it. This corner case can be covered by checking POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE
before calling folio_mark_accessed() on the read path. But it is
considered not worth the effort.
There have been a few attempts to support POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE, e.g., [1].
This time the goal is to fill a niche: a few desktop applications, e.g.,
large file transferring and video encoding/decoding, want fast file
streaming with mmap() rather than direct IO. Among those applications, an
SVT-AV1 regression was reported when running with MGLRU [2]. The
following test can reproduce that regression.
kb=$(awk '/MemTotal/ { print $2 }' /proc/meminfo)
kb=$((kb - 8*1024*1024))
modprobe brd rd_nr=1 rd_size=$kb

Add vma_has_recency() to indicate whether a VMA may exhibit temporal
locality that the LRU algorithm relies on.
This function returns false for VMAs marked by VM_SEQ_READ or
VM_RAND_READ. While the former flag indicates linear access, i.e., a
special case of spatial locality, both flags indicate a lack of temporal
locality, i.e., the reuse of an area within a relatively small duration.
"Recency" is chosen over "locality" to avoid confusion between temporal
and spatial localities.
Before this patch, the active/inactive LRU only ignored the accessed bit
from VMAs marked by VM_SEQ_READ. After this patch, the active/inactive
LRU and MGLRU share the same logic: they both ignore the accessed bit if
vma_has_recency() returns false.
For the active/inactive LRU, the following fio test showed a [6, 8]%
increase in IOPS when randomly accessing mapped files under memory
pressure.
kb=$(awk '/MemTotal/ { print $2 }' /proc/meminfo)
kb=$((kb - 8*1024*1024))

A MAP_SHARED mapping always has VM_MAYSHARE set, and writable
(VM_MAYWRITE) MAP_SHARED mappings have VM_SHARED set as well. To identify
a MAP_SHARED mapping, it's sufficient to look at VM_MAYSHARE.
We cannot have VM_MAYSHARE|VM_WRITE mappings without having VM_SHARED set.
Consequently, current code will never actually end up clearing
VM_MAYSHARE and that code is confusing, because nobody is supposed to mess
with VM_MAYWRITE.
Let's clean it up and restructure the code. No functional change intended.

Patch series "mm/nommu: don't use VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_PRIVATE mappings".
Trying to reduce the confusion around VM_SHARED and VM_MAYSHARE first
requires !CONFIG_MMU to stop using VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_PRIVATE mappings.
CONFIG_MMU only sets VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_SHARED mappings.
This paves the way for further VM_MAYSHARE and VM_SHARED cleanups: for
example, renaming VM_MAYSHARED to VM_MAP_SHARED to make it cleaner what is
actually means.
Let's first get the weird case out of the way and not use VM_MAYSHARE in
MAP_PRIVATE mappings, using a new VM_MAYOVERLAY flag instead.
This patch (of 3):
We want to stop using VM_MAYSHARE in private mappings to pave the way for
clarifying the semantics of VM_MAYSHARE vs. VM_SHARED and reduce the
confusion. While CONFIG_MMU uses VM_MAYSHARE to represent MAP_SHARED,
!CONFIG_MMU also sets VM_MAYSHARE for selected R/O private file mappings
that are an effective overlay of a file mapping.
Let's factor out all relevant VM_MAYSHARE checks in !CONFIG_MMU code into
is_nommu_shared_mapping() first.
Note that whenever VM_SHARED is set, VM_MAYSHARE must be set as well
(unless there is a serious BUG). So there is not need to test for
VM_SHARED manually.
No functional change intended.

Add a test to assert that we can mremap() and expand a mapping starting
from an offset within an existing mapping. We unmap the last page in a 3
page mapping to ensure that the remap should always succeed, before
remapping from the 2nd page.
This is additionally a regression test for the issue solved in "mm,
mremap: fix mremap() expanding vma with addr inside vma" and confirmed to
fail prior to the change and pass after it.
Finally, this patch updates the existing mremap expand merge test to check
error conditions and reduce code duplication between the two tests.

zap_page_range was originally designed to unmap pages within an address
range that could span multiple vmas. While working on [1], it was
discovered that all callers of zap_page_range pass a range entirely within
a single vma. In addition, the mmu notification call within zap_page
range does not correctly handle ranges that span multiple vmas. When
crossing a vma boundary, a new mmu_notifier_range_init/end call pair with
the new vma should be made.
Instead of fixing zap_page_range, do the following:
- Create a new routine zap_vma_pages() that will remove all pages within
the passed vma. Most users of zap_page_range pass the entire vma and
can use this new routine.
- For callers of zap_page_range not passing the entire vma, instead call
zap_page_range_single().
- Remove zap_page_range.

Currently, anonymous PTE-mapped THPs cannot be collapsed in-place:
collapsing (e.g., via MADV_COLLAPSE) implies allocating a fresh THP and
mapping that new THP via a PMD: as it's a fresh anon THP, it will get the
exclusive flag set on the head page and everybody is happy.
However, if the kernel would ever support in-place collapse of anonymous
THPs (replacing a page table mapping each sub-page of a THP via PTEs with
a single PMD mapping the complete THP), exclusivity information stored for
each sub-page would have to be collapsed accordingly:
(1) All PTEs map !exclusive anon sub-pages: the in-place collapsed THP
must not not have the exclusive flag set on the head page mapped by
the PMD. This is the easiest case to handle ("simply don't set any
exclusive flags").
(2) All PTEs map exclusive anon sub-pages: when collapsing, we have to
clear the exclusive flag from all tail pages and only leave the
exclusive flag set for the head page. Otherwise, fork() after
collapse would not clear the exclusive flags from the tail pages
and we'd be in trouble once PTE-mapping the shared THP when writing
to shared tail pages that still have the exclusive flag set. This
would effectively revert what the PTE-mapping code does when
propagating the exclusive flag to all sub-pages.
(3) PTEs map a mixture of exclusive and !exclusive anon sub-pages (can
happen e.g., due to MADV_DONTFORK before fork()). We must not
collapse the THP in-place, otherwise bad things may happen:
the exclusive flags of sub-pages would get ignored and the
exclusive flag of the head page would get used instead.
Now that we have MADV_COLLAPSE in place to trigger collapsing a THP, let's
add some test cases that would bail out early, if we'd
voluntarily/accidantially unlock in-place collapse for anon THPs and
forget about taking proper care of exclusive flags.
Running the test on a kernel with MADV_COLLAPSE support:
# [INFO] Anonymous THP tests
# [RUN] Basic COW after fork() when collapsing before fork()
ok 169 No leak from parent into child
# [RUN] Basic COW after fork() when collapsing after fork() (fully shared)
ok 170 # SKIP MADV_COLLAPSE failed: Invalid argument
# [RUN] Basic COW after fork() when collapsing after fork() (lower shared)
ok 171 No leak from parent into child
# [RUN] Basic COW after fork() when collapsing after fork() (upper shared)
ok 172 No leak from parent into child
For now, MADV_COLLAPSE always seems to fail if all PTEs map shared
sub-pages.

On the contrary, since kmap() and kmap_atomic() are deprecated, both
kmap_local_folio(), as well as kmap_local_page(), must be preferred to the

Therefore, remove the above-mentioned sentence exactly how it has

Preallocations are common in the VMA code to avoid allocating under
certain locking conditions. The preallocations must also cover the
worst-case scenario. Removing the GFP_ZERO flag from the
kmem_cache_alloc() (and bulk variant) calls will reduce the amount of time
spent zeroing memory that may not be used. Only zero out the necessary
area to keep track of the allocations in the maple state. Zero the entire
node prior to using it in the tree.
This required internal changes to node counting on allocation, so the test
code is also updated.

Refault decisions are made based on the lruvec where the page was evicted,
as that determined its LRU order while it was alive. Stats and workingset
aging must then occur on the lruvec of the new page, as that's the node
and cgroup that experience the refault and that's the lruvec whose
nonresident info ages out by a new resident page. Those lruvecs could be
different when a page is shared between cgroups, or the refaulting page is
allocated on a different node.
There are currently two mix-ups:
1. When swap is available, the resident anon set must be considered
when comparing the refault distance. The comparison is made against
the right anon set, but the check for swap is not. When pages get
evicted from a cgroup with swap, and refault in one without, this
can incorrectly consider a hot refault as cold - and vice
versa. Fix that by using the eviction cgroup for the swap check.
2. The stats and workingset age are updated against the wrong lruvec
altogether: the right cgroup but the wrong NUMA node. When a page
refaults on a different NUMA node, this will have confusing stats
and distort the workingset age on a different lruvec - again
possibly resulting in hot/cold misclassifications down the line.
Fix the swap check and the refault pgdat to address both concerns.
This was found during code review. It hasn't caused notable issues in
production, suggesting that those refault-migrations are relatively rare
in practice.

Before this patch, when there's any pgtable allocation issues happened
during change_protection(), the error will be ignored from the syscall.
For shmem, there will be an error dumped into the host dmesg. Two issues
with that:
(1) Doing a trace dump when allocation fails is not anything close to
grace.
(2) The user should be notified with any kind of such error, so the user
can trap it and decide what to do next, either by retrying, or stop
the process properly, or anything else.
For userfault users, this will change the API of UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT when
pgtable allocation failure happened. It should not normally break anyone,
though. If it breaks, then in good ways.
One man-page update will be on the way to introduce the new -ENOMEM for
UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT. Not marking stable so we keep the old behavior on
the 5.19-till-now kernels.

Switch to use type "long" for page accountings and retval across the whole
procedure of change_protection().
The change should have shrinked the possible maximum page number to be
half comparing to previous (ULONG_MAX / 2), but it shouldn't overflow on
any system either because the maximum possible pages touched by change
protection should be ULONG_MAX / PAGE_SIZE.
Two reasons to switch from "unsigned long" to "long":
1. It suites better on count_vm_numa_events(), whose 2nd parameter takes
a long type.
2. It paves way for returning negative (error) values in the future.
Currently the only caller that consumes this retval is change_prot_numa(),
where the unsigned long was converted to an int. Since at it, touching up
the numa code to also take a long, so it'll avoid any possible overflow
too during the int-size convertion.

Kernel build regression with LLVM was reported here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/Y1GCYXGtEVZbcv%2F5@dev-arch.thelio-3990X/ with
commit f35b5d7d67 ("mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP
boundaries"). And the commit f35b5d7d67 was reverted.
It turned out the regression is related with madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)
was used by ld.lld. But with none PMD_SIZE aligned parameter len.
trace-bpfcc captured:
531607 531732 ld.lld do_madvise.part.0 start: 0x7feca9000000, len: 0x7fb000, behavior: 0x4
531607 531793 ld.lld do_madvise.part.0 start: 0x7fec86a00000, len: 0x7fb000, behavior: 0x4
If the underneath physical page is THP, the madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) can
trigger split_queue_lock contention raised significantly. perf showed
following data:
14.85% 0.00% ld.lld [kernel.kallsyms] [k]
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
11.52%
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe

zap_page_range
unmap_single_vma
unmap_page_range
page_remove_rmap
deferred_split_huge_page
__lock_text_start
native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
If THP can't be removed from rmap as whole THP, partial THP will be
removed from rmap by removing sub-pages from rmap. Even the THP head page
is added to deferred queue already, the split_queue_lock will be acquired
and check whether the THP head page is in the queue already. Thus, the
contention of split_queue_lock is raised.
Before acquire split_queue_lock, check and bail out early if the THP
head page is in the queue already. The checking without holding
split_queue_lock could race with deferred_split_scan, but it doesn't
impact the correctness here.

Page reporting fetches pr_dev_info using rcu_access_pointer(), which is
for safely fetching a pointer that will not be dereferenced but could
concurrently updated. The code indeed does not dereference pr_dev_info
after fetching it using rcu_access_pointer(), but it fetches the pointer
while concurrent updates to the pointer is avoided by holding the update
side lock, page_reporting_mutex.
In the case, rcu_dereference_protected() should be used instead because it
provides better readability and performance on some cases, as
rcu_dereference_protected() avoids use of READ_ONCE(). Replace the
rcu_access_pointer() calls with rcu_dereference_protected().

Being able to provide a custom protection opens the door for
inconsistencies and BUGs: for example, accidentally allowing for more
permissions than desired by other mechanisms (e.g., softdirty tracking).
vma->vm_page_prot should be the single source of truth.
Only PROT_NUMA is special: there is no way we can erroneously allow
for more permissions when removing all permissions. Special-case using
the MM_CP_PROT_NUMA flag.

Patch series "mm: uffd-wp + change_protection() cleanups".
Cleanup page protection handling in uffd-wp when calling
change_protection() and improve unprotecting uffd=wp in private mappings,
trying to set PTEs writable again if possible just like we do during
mprotect() when upgrading write permissions. Make the change_protection()
interface harder to get wrong :)
I consider both pages primarily cleanups, although patch #1 fixes a corner
case with uffd-wp and softdirty tracking for shmem. @Peter, please let me
know if we should flag patch #1 as pure cleanup -- I have no idea how
important softdirty tracking on shmem is.
This patch (of 2):
uffd_wp_range() currently calculates page protection manually using
vm_get_page_prot(). This will ignore any other reason for active
writenotify: one mechanism applicable to shmem is softdirty tracking.
For example, the following sequence
1) Write to mapped shmem page
2) Clear softdirty
3) Register uffd-wp covering the mapped page
4) Unregister uffd-wp covering the mapped page
5) Write to page again
will not set the modified page softdirty, because uffd_wp_range() will
ignore that writenotify is required for softdirty tracking and simply map
the page writable again using change_protection(). Similarly, instead of
unregistering, protecting followed by un-protecting the page using uffd-wp
would result in the same situation.
Now that we enable writenotify whenever enabling uffd-wp on a VMA,
vma->vm_page_prot will already properly reflect our requirements: the
default is to write-protect all PTEs. However, for shared mappings we
would now not remap the PTEs writable if possible when unprotecting, just
like for private mappings (COW). To compensate, set
MM_CP_TRY_CHANGE_WRITABLE just like mprotect() does to try mapping
individual PTEs writable.
For private mappings, this change implies that we will now always try
setting PTEs writable when un-protecting, just like when upgrading write
permissions using mprotect(), which is an improvement.
For shared mappings, we will only set PTEs writable if
can_change_pte_writable()/can_change_pmd_writable() indicates that it's
ok. For ordinary shmem, this will be the case when PTEs are dirty, which
should usually be the case -- otherwise we could special-case shmem in
can_change_pte_writable()/can_change_pmd_writable() easily, because shmem
itself doesn't require writenotify.
Note that hugetlb does not yet implement MM_CP_TRY_CHANGE_WRITABLE, so we
won't try setting PTEs writable when unprotecting or when unregistering
uffd-wp. This can be added later on top by implementing
MM_CP_TRY_CHANGE_WRITABLE.
While commit ffd0579396 ("userfaultfd: wp: support write protection for
userfault vma range") introduced that code, it should only be applicable
to uffd-wp on shared mappings -- shmem (hugetlb does not support softdirty
tracking). I don't think this corner cases justifies to cc stable. Let's
just handle it correctly and prepare for change_protection() cleanups.

Among the flags in scan_control:
1. sc->may_swap, which indicates swap constraint due to memsw.max, is
supported as usual.
2. sc->proactive, which indicates reclaim by memory.reclaim, may not
opportunistically skip the aging path, since it is considered less
latency sensitive.
3. !(sc->gfp_mask & __GFP_IO), which indicates IO constraint, lowers
swappiness to prioritize file LRU, since clean file folios are more
likely to exist.
4. sc->may_writepage and sc->may_unmap, which indicates opportunistic
reclaim, are rejected, since unmapped clean folios are already
prioritized. Scanning for more of them is likely futile and can
cause high reclaim latency when there is a large number of memcgs.
The rest are handled by the existing code.
