Pull XArray conversion from Matthew Wilcox:
"The XArray provides an improved interface to the radix tree data
structure, providing locking as part of the API, specifying GFP flags
at allocation time, eliminating preloading, less re-walking the tree,
more efficient iterations and not exposing RCU-protected pointers to
its users.
This patch set
1. Introduces the XArray implementation
2. Converts the pagecache to use it
3. Converts memremap to use it
The page cache is the most complex and important user of the radix
tree, so converting it was most important. Converting the memremap
code removes the only other user of the multiorder code, which allows
us to remove the radix tree code that supported it.
I have 40+ followup patches to convert many other users of the radix
tree over to the XArray, but I'd like to get this part in first. The
other conversions haven't been in linux-next and aren't suitable for
applying yet, but you can see them in the xarray-conv branch if you're
interested"

Some test systems were experiencing negative huge page reserve counts and
incorrect file block counts. This was traced to /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
removing clean pages from hugetlbfs file pagecaches. When non-hugetlbfs
explicit code removes the pages, the appropriate accounting is not
performed.
This can be recreated as follows:
fallocate -l 2M /dev/hugepages/foo
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
fallocate -l 2M /dev/hugepages/foo
grep -i huge /proc/meminfo

ls -lsh /dev/hugepages/foo
4.0M -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2.0M Oct 17 20:05 /dev/hugepages/foo
To address this issue, dirty pages as they are added to pagecache. This
can easily be reproduced with fallocate as shown above. Read faulted
pages will eventually end up being marked dirty. But there is a window
where they are clean and could be impacted by code such as drop_caches.
So, just dirty them all as they are added to the pagecache.

Btrfs currently does not support swap files because swap's use of bmap
does not work with copy-on-write and multiple devices. See 35054394c4
("Btrfs: stop providing a bmap operation to avoid swapfile corruptions").
However, the swap code has a mechanism for the filesystem to manually add
swap extents using add_swap_extent() from the ->swap_activate() aop.
iomap has done this since 67482129cd ("iomap: add a swapfile activation
function"). Btrfs will do the same in a later patch, so export
add_swap_extent().

The SWP_FILE flag serves two purposes: to make swap_{read,write}page() go
through the filesystem, and to make swapoff() call ->swap_deactivate().
For Btrfs, we want the latter but not the former, so split this flag into
two. This makes us always call ->swap_deactivate() if ->swap_activate()
succeeded, not just if it didn't add any swap extents itself.
This also resolves the issue of the very misleading name of SWP_FILE,
which is only used for swap files over NFS.

There should be no cache left by the time we overwrite the old transhuge
pmd with the new one. It's already too late to flush through the virtual
address because we already copied the page data to the new physical
address.
So flush the cache before the data copy.
Also delete the "end" variable to shutoff a "unused variable" warning on
x86 where flush_cache_range() is a noop.

change_huge_pmd() after arming the numa/protnone pmd doesn't flush the TLB
right away. do_huge_pmd_numa_page() flushes the TLB before calling
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(). By the time do_huge_pmd_numa_page()
runs some CPU could still access the page through the TLB.
change_huge_pmd() before arming the numa/protnone transhuge pmd calls
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(). So there's no need of
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()/mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_only_end()
sequence in migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() too, because by the time
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() runs, the pmd mapping has already been
invalidated in the secondary MMUs. It has to or if a secondary MMU can
still write to the page, the migrate_page_copy() would lose data.
However an explicit mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() is needed before
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() starts copying the data of the
transhuge page or the below can happen for MMU notifier users sharing the
primary MMU pagetables and only implementing ->invalidate_range:
CPU0 CPU1 GPU sharing linux pagetables using
only ->invalidate_range
----------- ------------ ---------
GPU secondary MMU writes to the page
mapped by the transhuge pmd
change_pmd_range()
mmu..._range_start()
->invalidate_range_start() noop
change_huge_pmd()
set_pmd_at(numa/protnone)
pmd_unlock()
do_huge_pmd_numa_page()
CPU TLB flush globally (1)
CPU cannot write to page
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page()
GPU writes to the page...
migrate_page_copy()
...GPU stops writing to the page
CPU TLB flush (2)
mmu..._range_end() (3)
->invalidate_range_stop() noop
->invalidate_range()
GPU secondary MMU is invalidated
and cannot write to the page anymore
(too late)
Just like we need a CPU TLB flush (1) because the TLB flush (2) arrives
too late, we also need a mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() before calling
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(), because the ->invalidate_range() in
(3) also arrives too late.
This requirement is the result of the lazy optimization in
change_huge_pmd() that releases the pmd_lock without first flushing the
TLB and without first calling mmu_notifier_invalidate_range().
Even converting the removed mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_only_end() into
a mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() would not have been enough to fix
this, because it run after migrate_page_copy().
After the hugepage data copy is done migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page()
can proceed and call set_pmd_at without having to flush the TLB nor any
secondary MMUs because the secondary MMU invalidate, just like the CPU TLB
flush, has to happen before the migrate_page_copy() is called or it would
be a bug in the first place (and it was for drivers using
->invalidate_range()).
KVM is unaffected because it doesn't implement ->invalidate_range().
The standard PAGE_SIZEd migrate_misplaced_page is less accelerated and
uses the generic migrate_pages which transitions the pte from
numa/protnone to a migration entry in try_to_unmap_one() and flushes TLBs
and all mmu notifiers there before copying the page.

Patch series "migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page race conditions".
Aaron found a new instance of the THP MADV_DONTNEED race against
pmdp_clear_flush* variants, that was apparently left unfixed.
While looking into the race found by Aaron, I may have found two more
issues in migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page.
These race conditions would not cause kernel instability, but they'd
corrupt userland data or leave data non zero after MADV_DONTNEED.
I did only minor testing, and I don't expect to be able to reproduce this
(especially the lack of ->invalidate_range before migrate_page_copy,
requires the latest iommu hardware or infiniband to reproduce). The last
patch is noop for x86 and it needs further review from maintainers of
archs that implement flush_cache_range() (not in CC yet).
To avoid confusion, it's not the first patch that introduces the bug fixed
in the second patch, even before removing the
pmdp_huge_clear_flush_notify, that _notify suffix was called after
migrate_page_copy already run.
This patch (of 3):
This is a corollary of ced108037c ("thp: fix MADV_DONTNEED vs. numa
balancing race"), 58ceeb6bec ("thp: fix MADV_DONTNEED vs. MADV_FREE
race") and 5b7abeae3a ("thp: fix MADV_DONTNEED vs clear soft dirty
race).
When the above three fixes where posted Dave asked
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/929b3844-aec2-0111-fef7-8002f9d4e2b9@intel.com
but apparently this was missed.
The pmdp_clear_flush* in migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() was introduced
in a54a407fbf ("mm: Close races between THP migration and PMD numa
clearing").
The important part of such commit is only the part where the page lock is
not released until the first do_huge_pmd_numa_page() finished disarming
the pagenuma/protnone.
The addition of pmdp_clear_flush() wasn't beneficial to such commit and
there's no commentary about such an addition either.
I guess the pmdp_clear_flush() in such commit was added just in case for
safety, but it ended up introducing the MADV_DONTNEED race condition found
by Aaron.
At that point in time nobody thought of such kind of MADV_DONTNEED race
conditions yet (they were fixed later) so the code may have looked more
robust by adding the pmdp_clear_flush().
This specific race condition won't destabilize the kernel, but it can
confuse userland because after MADV_DONTNEED the memory won't be zeroed
out.
This also optimizes the code and removes a superfluous TLB flush.

The static lock quarantine_lock is used in quarantine.c to protect the
quarantine queue datastructures. It is taken inside quarantine queue
manipulation routines (quarantine_put(), quarantine_reduce() and
quarantine_remove_cache()), with IRQs disabled. This is not a problem on
a stock kernel but is problematic on an RT kernel where spin locks are
sleeping spinlocks, which can sleep and can not be acquired with disabled
interrupts.
Convert the quarantine_lock to a raw spinlock_t. The usage of
quarantine_lock is confined to quarantine.c and the work performed while
the lock is held is used for debug purpose.

Getting pages from ZONE_DEVICE memory needs to check the backing device's
live-ness, which is tracked in the device's dev_pagemap metadata. This
metadata is stored in a radix tree and looking it up adds measurable
software overhead.
This patch avoids repeating this relatively costly operation when
dev_pagemap is used by caching the last dev_pagemap while getting user
pages. The gup_benchmark kernel self test reports this reduces time to
get user pages to as low as 1/3 of the previous time.

When checking for valid pfns in zero_resv_unavail(), it is not necessary
to verify that pfns within pageblock_nr_pages ranges are valid, only the

Patch series "mm: Fix for movable_node boot option", v3.
This patch series contains a fix for the movable_node boot option issue
which was introduced by commit 124049decb ("x86/e820: put !E820_TYPE_RAM
regions into memblock.reserved").
The commit breaks the option because it changed the memory gap range to
reserved memblock. So, the node is marked as Normal zone even if the SRAT
has Hot pluggable affinity.
First and second patch fix the original issue which the commit tried to
fix, then revert the commit.

According to kernel bisection, this problem became visible due to commit
f7f99100d8 which changes how struct pages are initialized.
Memblock layout affects the pfn ranges covered by node/zone. Consider
that we have a VM with 2 NUMA nodes and each node has 4GB memory, and the
default (no memmap= given) memblock layout is like below:
MEMBLOCK configuration:
memory size = 0x00000001fff75c00 reserved size = 0x000000000300c000
memory.cnt = 0x4
memory[0x0] [0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009efff], 0x000000000009e000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0
memory[0x1] [0x0000000000100000-0x00000000bffd6fff], 0x00000000bfed7000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0
memory[0x2] [0x0000000100000000-0x000000013fffffff], 0x0000000040000000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0
memory[0x3] [0x0000000140000000-0x000000023fffffff], 0x0000000100000000 bytes on node 1 flags: 0x0
...
If you give memmap=1G!4G (so it just covers memory[0x2]),
the range [0x100000000-0x13fffffff] is gone:
MEMBLOCK configuration:
memory size = 0x00000001bff75c00 reserved size = 0x000000000300c000
memory.cnt = 0x3
memory[0x0] [0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009efff], 0x000000000009e000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0
memory[0x1] [0x0000000000100000-0x00000000bffd6fff], 0x00000000bfed7000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0
memory[0x2] [0x0000000140000000-0x000000023fffffff], 0x0000000100000000 bytes on node 1 flags: 0x0
...
This causes shrinking node 0's pfn range because it is calculated by the
address range of memblock.memory. So some of struct pages in the gap
range are left uninitialized.
We have a function zero_resv_unavail() which does zeroing the struct pages
outside memblock.memory, but currently it covers only the reserved
unavailable range (i.e. memblock.memory && !memblock.reserved). This
patch extends it to cover all unavailable range, which fixes the reported
issue.

It was reported that on some of our machines containers were restarted
with OOM symptoms without an obvious reason. Despite there were almost no
memory pressure and plenty of page cache, MEMCG_OOM event was raised
occasionally, causing the container management software to think, that OOM
has happened. However, no tasks have been killed.
The following investigation showed that the problem is caused by a failing
attempt to charge a high-order page. In such case, the OOM killer is
never invoked. As shown below, it can happen under conditions, which are
very far from a real OOM: e.g. there is plenty of clean page cache and no
memory pressure.
There is no sense in raising an OOM event in this case, as it might
confuse a user and lead to wrong and excessive actions (e.g. restart the
workload, as in my case).
Let's look at the charging path in try_charge(). If the memory usage is
about memory.max, which is absolutely natural for most memory cgroups, we
try to reclaim some pages. Even if we were able to reclaim enough memory
for the allocation, the following check can fail due to a race with
another concurrent allocation:
if (mem_cgroup_margin(mem_over_limit) >= nr_pages)
goto retry;
For regular pages the following condition will save us from triggering
the OOM:
if (nr_reclaimed && nr_pages <= (1 << PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER))
goto retry;
But for high-order allocation this condition will intentionally fail. The
reason behind is that we'll likely fall to regular pages anyway, so it's
ok and even preferred to return ENOMEM.
In this case the idea of raising MEMCG_OOM looks dubious.
Fix this by moving MEMCG_OOM raising to mem_cgroup_oom() after allocation
order check, so that the event won't be raised for high order allocations.
This change doesn't affect regular pages allocation and charging.

We've recently seen a workload on XFS filesystems with a repeatable
deadlock between background writeback and a multi-process application
doing concurrent writes and fsyncs to a small range of a file.
range_cyclic

xfs_vm_writepages
write_cache_pages
writeback_index = 2
cycled = 0
....
find page 2 dirty

....
xfs_vm_writepages

find page 1 towrite
lock Page 1
->writepage
page 1 writeback
page 1 clean

page 2 is writeback
<blocks>

....
xfs_vm_writepages

start index 0
!done && !cycled
sets index to 0, restarts lookup
find page 1 dirty
find page 1 towrite
lock Page 1
page 1 is writeback
<blocks>
lock Page 1
<blocks>
DEADLOCK because:
- process 1 needs page 2 writeback to complete to make
enough progress to issue IO pending for page 1
- writeback needs page 1 writeback to complete so process 2
can progress and unlock the page it is blocked on, then it
can issue the IO pending for page 2
- process 2 can't make progress until process 1 issues IO
for page 1
The underlying cause of the problem here is that range_cyclic writeback is
processing pages in descending index order as we hold higher index pages
in a structure controlled from above write_cache_pages(). The
write_cache_pages() caller needs to be able to submit these pages for IO
before write_cache_pages restarts writeback at mapping index 0 to avoid
wcp inverting the page lock/writeback wait order.
generic_writepages() is not susceptible to this bug as it has no private
context held across write_cache_pages() - filesystems using this
infrastructure always submit pages in ->writepage immediately and so there
is no problem with range_cyclic going back to mapping index 0.
However:
mpage_writepages() has a private bio context,
exofs_writepages() has page_collect
fuse_writepages() has fuse_fill_wb_data
nfs_writepages() has nfs_pageio_descriptor
xfs_vm_writepages() has xfs_writepage_ctx
All of these ->writepages implementations can hold pages under writeback
in their private structures until write_cache_pages() returns, and hence
they are all susceptible to this deadlock.
Also worth noting is that ext4 has it's own bastardised version of
write_cache_pages() and so it /may/ have an equivalent deadlock. I looked
at the code long enough to understand that it has a similar retry loop for
range_cyclic writeback reaching the end of the file and then promptly ran
away before my eyes bled too much. I'll leave it for the ext4 developers
to determine if their code is actually has this deadlock and how to fix it
if it has.
There's a few ways I can see avoid this deadlock. There's probably more,
but these are the first I've though of:
1. get rid of range_cyclic altogether
2. range_cyclic always stops at EOF, and we start again from
writeback index 0 on the next call into write_cache_pages()
2a. wcp also returns EAGAIN to ->writepages implementations to
indicate range cyclic has hit EOF. writepages implementations can
then flush the current context and call wpc again to continue. i.e.
lift the retry into the ->writepages implementation
3. range_cyclic uses trylock_page() rather than lock_page(), and it
skips pages it can't lock without blocking. It will already do this
for pages under writeback, so this seems like a no-brainer
3a. all non-WB_SYNC_ALL writeback uses trylock_page() to avoid
blocking as per pages under writeback.
I don't think #1 is an option - range_cyclic prevents frequently
dirtied lower file offset from starving background writeback of
rarely touched higher file offsets.
#2 is simple, and I don't think it will have any impact on
performance as going back to the start of the file implies an
immediate seek. We'll have exactly the same number of seeks if we
switch writeback to another inode, and then come back to this one
later and restart from index 0.
#2a is pretty much "status quo without the deadlock". Moving the
retry loop up into the wcp caller means we can issue IO on the
pending pages before calling wcp again, and so avoid locking or
waiting on pages in the wrong order. I'm not convinced we need to do
this given that we get the same thing from #2 on the next writeback
call from the writeback infrastructure.
#3 is really just a band-aid - it doesn't fix the access/wait
inversion problem, just prevents it from becoming a deadlock
situation. I'd prefer we fix the inversion, not sweep it under the
carpet like this.
#3a is really an optimisation that just so happens to include the
band-aid fix of #3.
So it seems that the simplest way to fix this issue is to implement
solution #2

update_defer_init() should be called only when struct page is about to be
initialized. Because it counts number of initialized struct pages, but
there we may skip struct pages if there is some mirrored memory.
So move, update_defer_init() after checking for mirrored memory.
Also, rename update_defer_init() to defer_init() and reverse the return
boolean to emphasize that this is a boolean function, that tells that the
reset of memmap initialization should be deferred.
Make this function self-contained: do not pass number of already
initialized pages in this zone by using static counters.
I found this bug by reading the code. The effect is that fewer than
expected struct pages are initialized early in boot, and it is possible
that in some corner cases we may fail to boot when mirrored pages are
used. The deferred on demand code should somewhat mitigate this. But
this still brings some inconsistencies compared to when booting without
mirrored pages, so it is better to fix.

This will allow to use generic refcount_t interfaces to check counters

*num_movable can hold the value from the stack because it does not get

Move the initialization to move_freepages_block() to guarantee the value

This currently doesn't affect its only caller where num_movable != NULL,

The brk() will not manipulate vmas anymore after __do_munmap() call for

which needs hold write mmap_sem.
However, a simple trick can workaround this by setting mm->brk before
__do_munmap(). Then restore the original value if __do_munmap() fails.
With this trick, it is safe to downgrade to read mmap_sem.
So, the same optimization, which downgrades mmap_sem to read for zapping
pages, is also feasible and reasonable to this case.
The period of holding exclusive mmap_sem for shrinking large mapping would
be reduced significantly with this optimization.

The ZONE_DEVICE pages were being initialized in two locations. One was
with the memory_hotplug lock held and another was outside of that lock.
The problem with this is that it was nearly doubling the memory
initialization time. Instead of doing this twice, once while holding a
global lock and once without, I am opting to defer the initialization to
the one outside of the lock. This allows us to avoid serializing the
overhead for memory init and we can instead focus on per-node init times.
One issue I encountered is that devm_memremap_pages and
hmm_devmmem_pages_create were initializing only the pgmap field the same
way. One wasn't initializing hmm_data, and the other was initializing it
to a poison value. Since this is something that is exposed to the driver
in the case of hmm I am opting for a third option and just initializing
hmm_data to 0 since this is going to be exposed to unknown third party
drivers.

It doesn't make much sense to use the atomic SetPageReserved at init time
when we are using memset to clear the memory and manipulating the page
flags via simple "&=" and "|=" operations in __init_single_page.
This patch adds a non-atomic version __SetPageReserved that can be used
during page init and shows about a 10% improvement in initialization times
on the systems I have available for testing. On those systems I saw
initialization times drop from around 35 seconds to around 32 seconds to
initialize a 3TB block of persistent memory. I believe the main advantage
of this is that it allows for more compiler optimization as the __set_bit
operation can be reordered whereas the atomic version cannot.
I tried adding a bit of documentation based on f1dd2cd13c ("mm,
memory_hotplug: do not associate hotadded memory to zones until online").
Ideally the reserved flag should be set earlier since there is a brief
window where the page is initialization via __init_single_page and we have
not set the PG_Reserved flag. I'm leaving that for a future patch set as
that will require a more significant refactor.

Patch series "Address issues slowing persistent memory initialization", v5.
The main thing this patch set achieves is that it allows us to initialize
each node worth of persistent memory independently. As a result we reduce
page init time by about 2 minutes because instead of taking 30 to 40
seconds per node and going through each node one at a time, we process all
4 nodes in parallel in the case of a 12TB persistent memory setup spread
evenly over 4 nodes.
This patch (of 3):
On systems with a large amount of memory it can take a significant amount
of time to initialize all of the page structs with the PAGE_POISON_PATTERN
value. I have seen it take over 2 minutes to initialize a system with
over 12TB of RAM.
In order to work around the issue I had to disable CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and
then the boot time returned to something much more reasonable as the
arch_add_memory call completed in milliseconds versus seconds. However in
doing that I had to disable all of the other VM debugging on the system.
In order to work around a kernel that might have CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled
on a system that has a large amount of memory I have added a new kernel
parameter named "vm_debug" that can be set to "-" in order to disable it.

This patch, as the previous one, gets rid of the wrong if statements.
While at it, I realized that the comments are sometimes very confusing,
to say the least, and wrong.
For example:
___
zone_last = ZONE_MOVABLE;
/*
* check whether node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] will be changed
* If we try to offline the last present @nr_pages from the node,
* we can determind we will need to clear the node from
* node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY].
*/
for (; zt <= zone_last; zt++)
present_pages += pgdat->node_zones[zt].present_pages;
if (nr_pages >= present_pages)
arg->status_change_nid = zone_to_nid(zone);
else
arg->status_change_nid = -1;
___
In case the node gets empry, it must be removed from N_MEMORY. We already
check N_HIGH_MEMORY a bit above within the CONFIG_HIGHMEM ifdef code. Not
to say that status_change_nid is for N_MEMORY, and not for N_HIGH_MEMORY.
So I re-wrote some of the comments to what I think is better.

While looking at node_states_check_changes_online, I stumbled upon some
confusing things.
Right after entering the function, we find this:
if (N_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
zone_last = ZONE_MOVABLE;
This is wrong.
N_MEMORY cannot really be equal to N_NORMAL_MEMORY.
My guess is that this wanted to be something like:
if (N_NORMAL_MEMORY == N_HIGH_MEMORY)
to check if we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM.
Later on, in the CONFIG_HIGHMEM block, we have:
if (N_MEMORY == N_HIGH_MEMORY)
zone_last = ZONE_MOVABLE;
Again, this is wrong, and will never be evaluated to true.
Besides removing these wrong if statements, I simplified the function a
bit.

In node_states_check_changes_online, we check if the node will have to be
set for any of the N_*_MEMORY states after the pages have been onlined.
Later on, we perform the activation in node_states_set_node. Currently,
in node_states_set_node we set the node to N_MEMORY unconditionally.
This means that we call node_set_state for N_MEMORY every time pages go
online, but we only need to do it if the node has not yet been set for
N_MEMORY.
Fix this by checking status_change_nid.

Patch series "mm: zap pages with read mmap_sem in munmap for large
mapping", v11.
Background:
Recently, when we ran some vm scalability tests on machines with large memory,
we ran into a couple of mmap_sem scalability issues when unmapping large memory
space, please refer to https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/14/733 and
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/20/576.
History:
Then akpm suggested to unmap large mapping section by section and drop mmap_sem
at a time to mitigate it (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/6/784).
V1 patch series was submitted to the mailing list per Andrew's suggestion
(see https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/20/786). Then I received a lot great
feedback and suggestions.
Then this topic was discussed on LSFMM summit 2018. In the summit, Michal
Hocko suggested (also in the v1 patches review) to try "two phases"
approach. Zapping pages with read mmap_sem, then doing via cleanup with
write mmap_sem (for discussion detail, see
https://lwn.net/Articles/753269/)
Approach:
Zapping pages is the most time consuming part, according to the suggestion from
Michal Hocko [1], zapping pages can be done with holding read mmap_sem, like
what MADV_DONTNEED does. Then re-acquire write mmap_sem to cleanup vmas.
But, we can't call MADV_DONTNEED directly, since there are two major drawbacks:
* The unexpected state from PF if it wins the race in the middle of munmap.
It may return zero page, instead of the content or SIGSEGV.
* Can't handle VM_LOCKED | VM_HUGETLB | VM_PFNMAP and uprobe mappings, which
is a showstopper from akpm
But, some part may need write mmap_sem, for example, vma splitting. So,
the design is as follows:
acquire write mmap_sem
lookup vmas (find and split vmas)
deal with special mappings
detach vmas
downgrade_write
zap pages
free page tables
release mmap_sem
The vm events with read mmap_sem may come in during page zapping, but
since vmas have been detached before, they, i.e. page fault, gup, etc,
will not be able to find valid vma, then just return SIGSEGV or -EFAULT as
expected.
If the vma has VM_HUGETLB | VM_PFNMAP, they are considered as special
mappings. They will be handled by falling back to regular do_munmap()
with exclusive mmap_sem held in this patch since they may update vm flags.
But, with the "detach vmas first" approach, the vmas have been detached
when vm flags are updated, so it sounds safe to update vm flags with read
mmap_sem for this specific case. So, VM_HUGETLB and VM_PFNMAP will be
handled by using the optimized path in the following separate patches for
bisectable sake.
Unmapping uprobe areas may need update mm flags (MMF_RECALC_UPROBES).
However it is fine to have false-positive MMF_RECALC_UPROBES according to
uprobes developer. So, uprobe unmap will not be handled by the regular
path.
With the "detach vmas first" approach we don't have to re-acquire mmap_sem
again to clean up vmas to avoid race window which might get the address
space changed since downgrade_write() doesn't release the lock to lead
regression, which simply downgrades to read lock.
And, since the lock acquire/release cost is managed to the minimum and
almost as same as before, the optimization could be extended to any size
of mapping without incurring significant penalty to small mappings.
For the time being, just do this in munmap syscall path. Other
vm_munmap() or do_munmap() call sites (i.e mmap, mremap, etc) remain
intact due to some implementation difficulties since they acquire write
mmap_sem from very beginning and hold it until the end, do_munmap() might
be called in the middle. But, the optimized do_munmap would like to be
called without mmap_sem held so that we can do the optimization. So, if
we want to do the similar optimization for mmap/mremap path, I'm afraid we
would have to redesign them. mremap might be called on very large area
depending on the usecases, the optimization to it will be considered in
the future.

It is because munmap holds mmap_sem exclusively from very beginning to all
the way down to the end, and doesn't release it in the middle. When
unmapping large mapping, it may take long time (take ~18 seconds to unmap
320GB mapping with every single page mapped on an idle machine).
Zapping pages is the most time consuming part, according to the suggestion
from Michal Hocko [1], zapping pages can be done with holding read
mmap_sem, like what MADV_DONTNEED does. Then re-acquire write mmap_sem to

would have to redesign them. mremap might be called on very large area
depending on the usecases, the optimization to it will be considered in
the future.
With the patches, exclusive mmap_sem hold time when munmap a 80GB address
space on a machine with 32 cores of E5-2680 @ 2.70GHz dropped to us level
from second.
munmap_test-15002 [008] 594.380138: funcgraph_entry: |
__vm_munmap() {
munmap_test-15002 [008] 594.380146: funcgraph_entry: !2485684 us
| unmap_region();
munmap_test-15002 [008] 596.865836: funcgraph_exit: !2485692 us
| }
Here the execution time of unmap_region() is used to evaluate the time of
holding read mmap_sem, then the remaining time is used with holding
exclusive lock.

should_suppress_show_mem() was introduced to reduce the overhead of
show_mem on large NUMA systems. Things have changed since then though.
Namely c78e93630d ("mm: do not walk all of system memory during
show_mem") has reduced the overhead considerably.
Moreover warn_alloc_show_mem clears SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES when called from
the IRQ context already so we are not printing per node stats.
Remove should_suppress_show_mem because we are losing potentially
interesting information about allocation failures. We have seen a bug
report where system gets unresponsive under memory pressure and there is
only

without an additional information for debugging. It would be great to see

The refault stats go better with the page fault stats, and are of
higher interest than the stats on LRU operations. In fact they used to
be grouped together; when the LRU operation stats were added later on,
they were wedged in between.
Move them back together. Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst
already lists them in the right order.

The page cache and most shrinkable slab caches hold data that has been
read from disk, but there are some caches that only cache CPU work, such
as the dentry and inode caches of procfs and sysfs, as well as the subset
of radix tree nodes that track non-resident page cache.
Currently, all these are shrunk at the same rate: using DEFAULT_SEEKS for
the shrinker's seeks setting tells the reclaim algorithm that for every
two page cache pages scanned it should scan one slab object.
This is a bogus setting. A virtual inode that required no IO to create is
not twice as valuable as a page cache page; shadow cache entries with
eviction distances beyond the size of memory aren't either.
In most cases, the behavior in practice is still fine. Such virtual
caches don't tend to grow and assert themselves aggressively, and usually
get picked up before they cause problems. But there are scenarios where
that's not true.
Our database workloads suffer from two of those. For one, their file
workingset is several times bigger than available memory, which has the
kernel aggressively create shadow page cache entries for the non-resident
parts of it. The workingset code does tell the VM that most of these are
expendable, but the VM ends up balancing them 2:1 to cache pages as per
the seeks setting. This is a huge waste of memory.
These workloads also deal with tens of thousands of open files and use
/proc for introspection, which ends up growing the proc_inode_cache to
absurdly large sizes - again at the cost of valuable cache space, which
isn't a reasonable trade-off, given that proc inodes can be re-created
without involving the disk.
This patch implements a "zero-seek" setting for shrinkers that results in
a target ratio of 0:1 between their objects and IO-backed caches. This
allows such virtual caches to grow when memory is available (they do
cache/avoid CPU work after all), but effectively disables them as soon as
IO-backed objects are under pressure.
It then switches the shrinkers for procfs and sysfs metadata, as well as
excess page cache shadow nodes, to the new zero-seek setting.

When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard
to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close
the system is to lockups and OOM kills. In particular, when machines work
multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency
and throughput on the individual job can be enormous.
In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual
job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way
to quantify resource pressure in the system.
A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that
expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO,
respectively. Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay
accounting delays:
cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU
memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache
io: tasks are waiting for io completions
These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages,
and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss
incurred by resource overcommit. They can also indicate when the system
is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs.
To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU
and samples the time they spend in stall states. Every 2 seconds, the
samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to
eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of
walltime. A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s,
1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).
