In (e)poll mode, threads often depend on I/O events to determine when
data is ready for consumption. Within binder, a thread may initiate a
command via BINDER_WRITE_READ without a read buffer and then make use
of epoll_wait() or similar to consume any responses afterwards.
It is then crucial that epoll threads are signaled via wakeup when they
queue their own work. Otherwise, they risk waiting indefinitely for an
event leaving their work unhandled. What is worse, subsequent commands
won't trigger a wakeup either as the thread has pending work.

Patch series "workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap
writeback", v8.
There are currently several issues with zswap writeback:
1. There is only a single global LRU for zswap, making it impossible to
perform worload-specific shrinking - an memcg under memory pressure
cannot determine which pages in the pool it owns, and often ends up
writing pages from other memcgs. This issue has been previously
observed in practice and mitigated by simply disabling
memcg-initiated shrinking:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230530232435.3097106-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/T/#u
But this solution leaves a lot to be desired, as we still do not
have an avenue for an memcg to free up its own memory locked up in
the zswap pool.
2. We only shrink the zswap pool when the user-defined limit is hit.
This means that if we set the limit too high, cold data that are
unlikely to be used again will reside in the pool, wasting precious
memory. It is hard to predict how much zswap space will be needed
ahead of time, as this depends on the workload (specifically, on
factors such as memory access patterns and compressibility of the
memory pages).
This patch series solves these issues by separating the global zswap LRU
into per-memcg and per-NUMA LRUs, and performs workload-specific (i.e
memcg- and NUMA-aware) zswap writeback under memory pressure. The new
shrinker does not have any parameter that must be tuned by the user, and
can be opted in or out on a per-memcg basis.
As a proof of concept, we ran the following synthetic benchmark: build the
linux kernel in a memory-limited cgroup, and allocate some cold data in
tmpfs to see if the shrinker could write them out and improved the overall
performance. Depending on the amount of cold data generated, we observe
from 14% to 35% reduction in kernel CPU time used in the kernel builds.
This patch (of 6):
The interface of list_lru is based on the assumption that the list node
and the data it represents belong to the same allocated on the correct
node/memcg. While this assumption is valid for existing slab objects LRU
such as dentries and inodes, it is undocumented, and rather inflexible for
certain potential list_lru users (such as the upcoming zswap shrinker and
the THP shrinker). It has caused us a lot of issues during our
development.
This patch changes list_lru interface so that the caller must explicitly
specify numa node and memcg when adding and removing objects. The old
list_lru_add() and list_lru_del() are renamed to list_lru_add_obj() and
list_lru_del_obj(), respectively.
It also extends the list_lru API with a new function, list_lru_putback,
which undoes a previous list_lru_isolate call. Unlike list_lru_add, it
does not increment the LRU node count (as list_lru_isolate does not
decrement the node count). list_lru_putback also allows for explicit
memcg and NUMA node selection.

The alloc->mutex is a highly contended lock that causes performance
issues on Android devices. When a low-priority task is given this lock
and it sleeps, it becomes difficult for the task to wake up and complete
its work. This delays other tasks that are also waiting on the mutex.
The problem gets worse when there is memory pressure in the system,
because this increases the contention on the alloc->mutex while the
shrinker reclaims binder pages.
Switching to a spinlock helps to keep the waiters running and avoids the
overhead of waking up tasks. This significantly improves the transaction
latency when the problematic scenario occurs.
The performance impact of this patchset was measured by stress-testing
the binder alloc contention. In this test, several clients of different
priorities send thousands of transactions of different sizes to a single
server. In parallel, pages get reclaimed using the shinker's debugfs.
The test was run on a Pixel 8, Pixel 6 and qemu machine. The results
were similar on all three devices:
after:
| sched | prio | average | max | min |
|--------+------+---------+-----------+---------|
| fifo | 99 | 0.135ms | 1.197ms | 0.022ms |
| fifo | 01 | 0.136ms | 5.232ms | 0.018ms |
| other | -20 | 0.180ms | 7.403ms | 0.019ms |
| other | 19 | 0.241ms | 58.094ms | 0.018ms |
before:
| sched | prio | average | max | min |
|--------+------+---------+-----------+---------|
| fifo | 99 | 0.350ms | 248.730ms | 0.020ms |
| fifo | 01 | 0.357ms | 248.817ms | 0.024ms |
| other | -20 | 0.399ms | 249.906ms | 0.020ms |
| other | 19 | 0.477ms | 297.756ms | 0.022ms |
The key metrics above are the average and max latencies (wall time).
These improvements should roughly translate to p95-p99 latencies on real
workloads. The response time is up to 200x faster in these scenarios and
there is no penalty in the regular path.
Note that it is only possible to convert this lock after a series of
changes made by previous patches. These mainly include refactoring the
sections that might_sleep() and changing the locking order with the
mmap_lock amongst others.

The locking order currently requires the alloc->mutex to be acquired
first followed by the mmap lock. However, the alloc->mutex is converted
into a spinlock in subsequent commits so the order needs to be reversed
to avoid nesting the sleeping mmap lock under the spinlock.
The shrinker's callback binder_alloc_free_page() is the only place that
needs to be reordered since other functions have been refactored and no
longer nest these locks.
Some minor cosmetic changes are also included in this patch.

The code to determine the page range for binder_lru_freelist_del() is
quite obscure. It leverages the buffer_size calculated before doing an
oversized buffer split. This is used to figure out if the last page is
being shared with another active buffer. If so, the page gets trimmed
out of the range as it has been previously removed from the freelist.
This would be equivalent to getting the start page of the next in-use
buffer explicitly. However, the code for this is much larger as we can
see in binder_free_buf_locked() routine. Instead, lets settle on
documenting the tricky step and using better names for now.
I believe an ideal solution would be to count the binder_page->users to
determine when a page should be added or removed from the freelist.
However, this is a much bigger change than what I'm willing to risk at
this time.

Split out the insertion of pages to be outside of the alloc->mutex in a

The installation is protected with mmap_sem in write mode since multiple
tasks might race to install the same page.
Besides avoiding unnecessary nested locking this helps in preparation of
switching the alloc->mutex into a spinlock_t in subsequent patches.

Preallocate new_buffer before acquiring the alloc->mutex and hand it
down to binder_alloc_new_buf_locked(). The new buffer will be used in
the vast majority of requests (measured at 98.2% in field data). The
buffer is discarded otherwise. This change is required in preparation
for transitioning alloc->mutex into a spinlock in subsequent commits.

The binder_update_page_range() function performs both allocation and
freeing of binder pages. However, these two operations are unrelated and
have no common logic. In fact, when a free operation is requested, the
allocation logic is skipped entirely. This behavior makes the error path
unnecessarily complex. To improve readability of the code, this patch
splits the allocation and freeing operations into separate functions.

The vma addresses in binder are currently stored as void __user *. This
requires casting back and forth between the mm/ api which uses unsigned
long. Since we also do internal arithmetic on these addresses we end up
having to cast them _again_ to an integer type.
Lets stop all the unnecessary casting which kills code readability and
store the virtual addresses as the native unsigned long from mm/. Note
that this approach is preferred over uintptr_t as Linus explains in [1].
Opportunistically add a few cosmetic touchups.

Each transaction is associated with a 'struct binder_buffer' that stores
the metadata about its buffer area. Since commit 74310e06be ("android:
binder: Move buffer out of area shared with user space") this struct is
no longer embedded within the buffer itself but is instead allocated on
the heap to prevent userspace access to this driver-exclusive info.
Unfortunately, the space of this struct is still being accounted for in
the total buffer size calculation, specifically for async transactions.
This results in an additional 104 bytes added to every async buffer
request, and this area is never used.
This wasted space can be substantial. If we consider the maximum mmap
buffer space of SZ_4M, the driver will reserve half of it for async
transactions, or 0x200000. This area should, in theory, accommodate up
to 262,144 buffers of the minimum 8-byte size. However, after adding
the extra 'sizeof(struct binder_buffer)', the total number of buffers
drops to only 18,724, which is a sad 7.14% of the actual capacity.
This patch fixes the buffer size calculation to enable the utilization
of the entire async buffer space. This is expected to reduce the number
of -ENOSPC errors that are seen on the field.

Task A calls binder_update_page_range() to allocate and insert pages on
a remote address space from Task B. For this, Task A pins the remote mm
via mmget_not_zero() first. This can race with Task B do_exit() and the
final mmput() refcount decrement will come from Task A.
Task A | Task B
------------------+------------------
mmget_not_zero() |
| do_exit()
| exit_mm()
| mmput()
mmput() |
exit_mmap() |
remove_vma() |
fput() |
In this case, the work of ____fput() from Task B is queued up in Task A
as TWA_RESUME. So in theory, Task A returns to userspace and the cleanup
work gets executed. However, Task A instead sleep, waiting for a reply
from Task B that never comes (it's dead).
This means the binder_deferred_release() is blocked until an unrelated
binder event forces Task A to go back to userspace. All the associated
death notifications will also be delayed until then.
In order to fix this use mmput_async() that will schedule the work in
the corresponding mm->async_put_work WQ instead of Task A.

The mmap read lock is used during the shrinker's callback, which means
that using alloc->vma pointer isn't safe as it can race with munmap().
As of commit dd2283f260 ("mm: mmap: zap pages with read mmap_sem in
munmap") the mmap lock is downgraded after the vma has been isolated.
I was able to reproduce this issue by manually adding some delays and
triggering page reclaiming through the shrinker's debug sysfs. The
following KASAN report confirms the UAF:

Fix this issue by performing instead a vma_lookup() which will fail to
find the vma that was isolated before the mmap lock downgrade. Note that
this option has better performance than upgrading to a mmap write lock
which would increase contention. Plus, mmap_write_trylock() has been
recently removed anyway.

Merge tag 'v6.6-vfs.ctime' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs timestamp updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds VFS support for multi-grain timestamps and converts tmpfs,
xfs, ext4, and btrfs to use them. This carries acks from all relevant
filesystems.
The VFS always uses coarse-grained timestamps when updating the ctime
and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing filesystems
to optimize away a lot of metadata updates, down to around 1 per
jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.
Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via
NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of changes
can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the
client decide to invalidate the cache.
Even with NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support
a change attribute and are subject to the same problems with timestamp
granularity. Other applications have similar issues with timestamps
(e.g., backup applications).
If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve
the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying
filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates.
This introduces fine-grained timestamps that are used when they are
actively queried.
This uses the 31st bit of the ctime tv_nsec field to indicate that
something has queried the inode for the mtime or ctime. When this flag
is set, on the next mtime or ctime update, the kernel will fetch a
fine-grained timestamp instead of the usual coarse-grained one.
As POSIX generally mandates that when the mtime changes, the ctime
must also change the kernel always stores normalized ctime values, so
only the first 30 bits of the tv_nsec field are ever used.
Filesytems can opt into this behavior by setting the FS_MGTIME flag in
the fstype. Filesystems that don't set this flag will continue to use
coarse-grained timestamps.
Various preparatory changes, fixes and cleanups are included:
- Fixup all relevant places where POSIX requires updating ctime
together with mtime. This is a wide-range of places and all
maintainers provided necessary Acks.
- Add new accessors for inode->i_ctime directly and change all
callers to rely on them. Plain accesses to inode->i_ctime are now
gone and it is accordingly rename to inode->__i_ctime and commented
as requiring accessors.
- Extend generic_fillattr() to pass in a request mask mirroring in a
sense the statx() uapi. This allows callers to pass in a request
mask to only get a subset of attributes filled in.
- Rework timestamp updates so it's possible to drop the @now
parameter the update_time() inode operation and associated helpers.
- Add inode_update_timestamps() and convert all filesystems to it
removing a bunch of open-coding"
