The comment is confusing that Pool lock should be held as this function
accesses first_num above the __encode_handle() because first_num is the
element of z3fold_header which is protected by z3fold_header->page_lock.
I found the same comment for encode_handle() in zbud.c by accident ,Pool
lock should be held as this function accesses first|last_chunks, which is
the element of zbud_header and it does not have any lock, so pool lock
should be held.
Z3fold is based on zbud, maybe the comment come from zbud, but it was
wrong, so fix it.

The migrate write lock is to protect the race between zspage migration and
zspage objects' map users.
We only need to lock out the map users of src zspage, not dst zspage,
which is safe to map by users concurrently, since we only need to do
obj_malloc() from dst zspage.
So we can remove the migrate_write_lock_nested() use case.
As we are here, cleanup the __zs_compact() by moving putback_zspage()
outside of migrate_write_unlock since we hold pool lock, no malloc or free
users can come in.

Patch series "mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration".
This series is to fix and optimize the zsmalloc objects/page migration.
This patch (of 3):
migrate_write_lock() is a empty function when !CONFIG_COMPACTION, in which
case zs_compact() can be triggered from shrinker reclaim context. (Maybe
it's better to rename it to zs_shrink()?)
And zspage map object users rely on this migrate_read_lock() so object
won't be migrated elsewhere.
Fix it by always implementing the migrate_write_lock() related functions.

DAMOS quota auto-tuning asks users to assess the current tuned quota and
provide the feedback in a manual and repeated way. It allows users
generate the feedback from a source that the kernel cannot access, and
writing a script or a function for doing the manual and repeated feeding
is not a big deal. However, additional works are additional works, and it
could be more efficient if DAMOS could do the fetch itself, especially in
case of DAMON sysfs interface use case, since it can avoid the context
switches between the user-space and the kernel-space, though the overhead
would be only trivial in most cases. Also in many cases, feedbacks could
be made from kernel-accessible sources, such as PSI, CPU usage, etc. Make

DAMON sysfs interface allows users to set two types of quotas, namely time
quota and size quota. DAMOS converts time quota to a size quota and use
smaller one among the resulting two size quotas. The resulting effective
size quota can be helpful for debugging and analysis, but not exposed to
the user. The recently added feedback-driven quota auto-tuning is making
it even more mysterious.
Implement a DAMON sysfs interface read-only empty file, namely
'effective_bytes', under the quota goal DAMON sysfs directory. It will be
extended to expose the effective quota to the end user.

Patch series "mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself".
The Aim-oriented Feedback-driven DAMOS Aggressiveness Auto-tuning
patchset[1] which has merged since commit 9294a037c0 ("mm/damon/core:
implement goal-oriented feedback-driven quota auto-tuning") made the
mechanism and the policy separated. That is, users can set a part of
DAMOS control policies without a deep understanding of the mechanism but
just their demands such as SLA.
However, users are still required to do some additional work of manually
collecting their target metric and feeding it to DAMOS. In the case of
end-users who use DAMON sysfs interface, the context switches between
user-space and kernel-space could also make it inefficient. The overhead
is supposed to be only trivial in common cases, though. Meanwhile, in
simple use cases, the target metric could be common system metrics that
the kernel can efficiently self-retrieve, such as memory pressure stall
time (PSI).
Extend DAMOS quota auto-tuning to support multiple types of metrics
including the DAMOS self-retrievable ones, and add support for memory
pressure stall time metric. Different types of metrics can be supported
in future. The auto-tuning capability is currently supported for only
users of DAMOS kernel API and DAMON sysfs interface. Extend the support
to DAMON_RECLAIM.
Patches Sequence
================
First five patches are for helping debugging and fine-tuning existing
quota control features. The first one (patch 1) exposes the effective
quota that is made with given user inputs to DAMOS kernel API users and
kernel-doc documents. Following four patches implement (patches 1, 2 and
3) and document (patches 4 and 5) a new DAMON sysfs file that exposes the
value.
Following six patches cleanup and simplify the existing DAMOS quota
auto-tuning code by improving layout of comments and data structures
(patches 6 and 7), supporting common use cases, namely multiple goals
(patches 8, 9 and 10), and simplifying the interface (patch 11).
Then six patches for the main purpose of this patchset follow. The first
three changes extend the core logic for various target metrics (patch 12),
implement memory pressure stall time-based target metric support (patch
13), and update DAMON sysfs interface to support the new target metric
(patch 14). Then, documentation updates for the features on design (patch
15), ABI (patch 16), and usage (patch 17) follow.
Last three patches add auto-tuning support on DAMON_RECLAIM. The patches
implement DAMON_RECLAIM parameters for user-feedback driven quota
auto-tuning (patch 18), memory pressure stall time-driven quota
self-tuning (patch 19), and finally update the DAMON_RECLAIM usage
document for the new parameters (patch 20).

This patch (of 20):
DAMOS allow users to specify the quota as they want in multiple ways
including time quota, size quota, and feedback-based auto-tuning. DAMOS
makes one effective quota out of the inputs and use it at the end.
Knowing the current effective quota helps understanding DAMOS' internal
mechanism and fine-tuning quotas. DAMON kernel API users can get the
information from ->esz field of damos_quota struct, but the field is
marked as private purpose, and not kernel-doc documented. Make it public
and document.

khugepaged scans the entire address space in the background for each
given mm, looking for opportunities to merge sequences of basic pages
into huge pages. However, when an mm is inserted to the mm_slots list,
and the MMF_DISABLE_THP flag is set later, this scanning process
becomes unnecessary for that mm and can be skipped to avoid redundant
operations, especially in scenarios with a large address space.
On an Intel Core i5 CPU, the time taken by khugepaged to scan the
address space of the process, which has been set with the
MMF_DISABLE_THP flag after being added to the mm_slots list, is as
follows (shorter is better):
VMA Count | Old | New | Change
---------------------------------------
50 | 23us | 9us | -60.9%
100 | 32us | 9us | -71.9%
200 | 44us | 9us | -79.5%
400 | 75us | 9us | -88.0%
800 | 98us | 9us | -90.8%
Once the count of VMAs for the process exceeds page_to_scan, khugepaged
needs to wait for scan_sleep_millisecs ms before scanning the next
process. IMO, unnecessary scans could actually be skipped with a very
inexpensive mm->flags check in this case.
This commit introduces a check before each scanning process to test the
MMF_DISABLE_THP flag for the given mm; if the flag is set, the scanning
process is bypassed, thereby improving the efficiency of khugepaged.
This optimization is not a correctness issue but rather an enhancement
to save expensive checks on each VMA when userspace cannot prctl itself
before spawning into the new process.
On some servers within our company, we deploy a daemon responsible for
monitoring and updating local applications. Some applications prefer
not to use THP, so the daemon calls prctl to disable THP before
fork/exec. Conversely, for other applications, the daemon calls prctl
to enable THP before fork/exec.
Ideally, the daemon should invoke prctl after the fork, but its current
implementation follows the described approach. In the Go standard
library, there is no direct encapsulation of the fork system call;
instead, fork and execve are combined into one through
syscall.ForkExec.

On architecutres, like arm, s390, ppc, sh, function

That's not right because arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() is used to export
arch specific vmcoreinfo. CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO is supposed to control its
compiling in. However, CONFIG_VMVCORE_INFO could be independent of
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, e.g CONFIG_PROC_KCORE=y will select CONFIG_VMVCORE_INFO.
Or CONFIG_KEXEC/CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is set while CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is
not set, it will report linking error.
So, on arm, s390, ppc and sh, move arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo out to
a new file vmcore_info.c. Let CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO decide if compiling in
arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo().

By splitting CRASH_RESERVE and VMCORE_INFO out from CRASH_CORE, cleaning
up the dependency of FA_DMUMP on CRASH_DUMP, and moving crash codes from
kexec_core.c to crash_core.c, now we can rearrange CRASH_DUMP to
depend on KEXEC_CORE, and make CRASH_DUMP select CRASH_RESERVE and
VMCORE_INFO.
KEXEC_CORE won't select CRASH_RESERVE and VMCORE_INFO any more because
KEXEC_CORE enables codes which allocate control pages, copy
kexec/kdump segments, and prepare for switching. These codes are shared
by both kexec reboot and crash dumping.
Doing this makes codes and the corresponding config items more
logical (the right item depends on or is selected by the left item).

Currently, KEXEC_CORE select CRASH_CORE automatically because crash codes
need be built in to avoid compiling error when building kexec code even
though the crash dumping functionality is not enabled. E.g
--------------------
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
---------------------
After splitting out crashkernel reservation code and vmcoreinfo exporting
code, there's only crash related code left in kernel/crash_core.c. Now
move crash related codes from kexec_core.c to crash_core.c and only build it
in when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y.
And also wrap up crash codes inside CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP ifdeffery scope,
or replace inappropriate CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE ifdef with CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
ifdef in generic kernel files.
With these changes, crash_core codes are abstracted from kexec codes and
can be disabled at all if only kexec reboot feature is wanted.

In kdump kernel, /proc/vmcore is an elf file mapping the crashed kernel's
old memory content. Its elf header is constructed in 1st kernel and passed
to kdump kernel via elfcorehdr_addr. Config CRASH_DUMP enables the code
of 1st kernel's old memory accessing in different architectures.
Currently, config FA_DUMP has dependency on CRASH_DUMP because fadump
needs access global variable 'elfcorehdr_addr' to judge if it's in
kdump kernel within function is_kdump_kernel(). In the current
kernel/crash_dump.c, variable 'elfcorehdr_addr' is defined, and function
setup_elfcorehdr() used to parse kernel parameter to fetch the passed
value of elfcorehdr_addr. Only for accessing elfcorehdr_addr, FA_DUMP
really doesn't have to depends on CRASH_DUMP.
To remove the dependency of FA_DUMP on CRASH_DUMP to avoid confusion,
rename kernel/crash_dump.c to kernel/elfcorehdr.c, and build it when
CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO is ebabled. With this, FA_DUMP doesn't need to depend
on CRASH_DUMP.

Patch series "Split crash out from kexec and clean up related config
items", v3.
Motivation:
=============
Previously, LKP reported a building error. When investigating, it can't
be resolved reasonablly with the present messy kdump config items.
https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202312182200.Ka7MzifQ-lkp@intel.com/
The kdump (crash dumping) related config items could causes confusions:
Firstly,
CRASH_CORE enables codes including
- crashkernel reservation;
- elfcorehdr updating;
- vmcoreinfo exporting;
- crash hotplug handling;
Now fadump of powerpc, kcore dynamic debugging and kdump all selects
CRASH_CORE, while fadump
- fadump needs crashkernel parsing, vmcoreinfo exporting, and accessing
global variable 'elfcorehdr_addr';
- kcore only needs vmcoreinfo exporting;
- kdump needs all of the current kernel/crash_core.c.
So only enabling PROC_CORE or FA_DUMP will enable CRASH_CORE, this
mislead people that we enable crash dumping, actual it's not.
Secondly,
It's not reasonable to allow KEXEC_CORE select CRASH_CORE.
Because KEXEC_CORE enables codes which allocate control pages, copy
kexec/kdump segments, and prepare for switching. These codes are
shared by both kexec reboot and kdump. We could want kexec reboot,
but disable kdump. In that case, CRASH_CORE should not be selected.
--------------------
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
---------------------
Thirdly,
It's not reasonable to allow CRASH_DUMP select KEXEC_CORE.
That could make KEXEC_CORE, CRASH_DUMP are enabled independently from
KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE. However, w/o KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE, the KEXEC_CORE
code built in doesn't make any sense because no kernel loading or
switching will happen to utilize the KEXEC_CORE code.
---------------------
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
---------------------
In this case, what is worse, on arch sh and arm, KEXEC relies on MMU,
while CRASH_DUMP can still be enabled when !MMU, then compiling error is
seen as the lkp test robot reported in above link.
------arch/sh/Kconfig------
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC
def_bool MMU
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_CRASH_DUMP
def_bool BROKEN_ON_SMP
---------------------------
Changes:
===========
1, split out crash_reserve.c from crash_core.c;
2, split out vmcore_infoc. from crash_core.c;
3, move crash related codes in kexec_core.c into crash_core.c;
4, remove dependency of FA_DUMP on CRASH_DUMP;
5, clean up kdump related config items;
6, wrap up crash codes in crash related ifdefs on all 8 arch-es
which support crash dumping, except of ppc;
Achievement:
===========
With above changes, I can rearrange the config item logic as below (the right
item depends on or is selected by the left item):
PROC_KCORE -----------> VMCORE_INFO
|----------> VMCORE_INFO
FA_DUMP----|
|----------> CRASH_RESERVE
---->VMCORE_INFO
/
|---->CRASH_RESERVE
KEXEC --| /|
|--> KEXEC_CORE--> CRASH_DUMP-->/-|---->PROC_VMCORE
KEXEC_FILE --| \ |
\---->CRASH_HOTPLUG
KEXEC --|
|--> KEXEC_CORE (for kexec reboot only)
KEXEC_FILE --|
Test
========
On all 8 architectures, including x86_64, arm64, s390x, sh, arm, mips,
riscv, loongarch, I did below three cases of config item setting and
building all passed. Take configs on x86_64 as exampmle here:
(1) Both CONFIG_KEXEC and KEXEC_FILE is unset, then all kexec/kdump
items are unset automatically:
# Kexec and crash features
# CONFIG_KEXEC is not set
# CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is not set
# end of Kexec and crash features
(2) set CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE and 'make olddefconfig':
---------------
# Kexec and crash features
CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE=y
CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
CONFIG_CRASH_HOTPLUG=y
CONFIG_CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES=8192
# end of Kexec and crash features
---------------
(3) unset CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP in case 2 and execute 'make olddefconfig':
------------------------
# Kexec and crash features
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
# end of Kexec and crash features
------------------------
Note:
For ppc, it needs investigation to make clear how to split out crash
code in arch folder. Hope Hari and Pingfan can help have a look, see if
it's doable. Now, I make it either have both kexec and crash enabled, or
disable both of them altogether.
This patch (of 14):
Both kdump and fa_dump of ppc rely on crashkernel reservation. Move the
relevant codes into separate files: crash_reserve.c,
include/linux/crash_reserve.h.
And also add config item CRASH_RESERVE to control its enabling of the
codes. And update config items which has relationship with crashkernel
reservation.
And also change ifdeffery from CONFIG_CRASH_CORE to CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE
when those scopes are only crashkernel reservation related.
And also rename arch/XXX/include/asm/{crash_core.h => crash_reserve.h} on
arm64, x86 and risc-v because those architectures' crash_core.h is only
related to crashkernel reservation.

A number of nodes which are used in the alloc/free paths is set based on
num_possible_cpus() in a system. Please note a high limit threshold
though is fixed and corresponds to 128 nodes.
For 32-bit or single core systems an access to a global vmap heap is not
balanced. Such small systems do not suffer from lock contentions due to
low number of CPUs. In such case the nr_nodes is equal to 1.

Extend the vread_iter() to be able to perform a sequential reading of VAs
which are spread among multiple nodes. So a data read over the /dev/kmem
correctly reflects a vmalloc memory layout.

Invoke a kmemleak_scan_area() function only for newly allocated objects to
add a scan area within that object. There is no reason to add a same scan
area(pointer to beginning or inside the object) several times. If a VA is
obtained from the cache its scan area has already been associated.

Concurrent access to a global vmap space is a bottle-neck. We can
simulate a high contention by running a vmalloc test suite.
To address it, introduce an effective vmap node logic. Each node behaves
as independent entity. When a node is accessed it serves a request
directly(if possible) from its pool.
This model has a size based pool for requests, i.e. pools are serialized
and populated based on object size and real demand. A maximum object size
that pool can handle is set to 256 pages.
This technique reduces a pressure on the global vmap lock.

Similar to busy VA, lazily-freed area is stored to a node it belongs to.
Such approach does not require any global locking primitive, instead an
access becomes scalable what mitigates a contention.
This patch removes a global purge-lock, global purge-tree and global purge
list.
