1. There is a "-1" missing in the page number calculation in
process_vm_rw_core. While this can't break anything, it can cause
unnecessary allocations in certain cases:
Consider handling an iovec ranging over PVM_MAX_PP_ARRAY_COUNT pages
that is also aligned to a page boundary. While pp_stack could hold
references to such an amount of pinned pages, nr_pages yields
(PVM_MAX_PP_ARRAY + 1) in process_vm_rw_core. Consequently, a larger
buffer is allocated with kmalloc for no reason.
For any page boundary aligned iovec that is a multiple of PAGE_SIZE
and larger than PVM_MAX_PP_ARRAY_COUNT pages, nr_pages will be too big
by 1 and thus kmalloc allocates excess space for one more pointer.
2. max_pages_per_loop is constant and there is no reason to have it as
a variable. A macro does the job just fine and saves memory.
3. Replaced "sizeof(struct pages *)" with "sizeof(struct page *)" to
have matching types for allocation and prevent confusion.

GFP_NOWAIT callers are always prepared for their allocations to fail
because they fail so frequently. Forcing the callers to remember to add
__GFP_NOWARN is just annoying and leads to an endless stream of patches
for the places where we forgot to add it.
We can now remove __GFP_NOWARN from all the callers which specify
GFP_NOWAIT, but I'd rather wait a cycle and send patches to each
maintainer instead of creating a big pile of merge conflicts.

Convert vmf->page to a folio as soon as we're going to use it. This fixes
a bug if the fault handler returns a tail page with hardware poison; tail
pages have an invalid page->index, so we would fail to unmap the page from
the page tables. We actually have to unmap the entire folio (or
mapping_evict_folio() will fail), so use unmap_mapping_folio() instead.
This also saves various calls to compound_head() hidden in lock_page(),
put_page(), etc.

Patch series "Fix fault handler's handling of poisoned tail pages".
Since introducing the ability to have large folios in the page cache, it's
been possible to have a hwpoisoned tail page returned from the fault
handler. We handle this situation poorly; failing to remove the affected
page from use.
This isn't a minimal patch to fix it, it's a full conversion of all the
code surrounding it.
This patch (of 6):
invalidate_inode_page() does very little beyond calling
mapping_evict_folio(). Move the check for mapping being NULL into
mapping_evict_folio() and make it available to the rest of the MM for use
in the next few patches.

Patch series "Add folio_zero_tail() and folio_fill_tail()".
I'm trying to make it easier for filesystems with tailpacking / stuffing /
inline data to use folios. The primary function here is
folio_fill_tail(). You give it a pointer to memory where the data
currently is, and it takes care of copying it into the folio at that
offset. That works for gfs2 & iomap. Then There's Ext4. Rather than gin
up some kind of specialist "Here's a two pointers to two blocks of memory"
routine, just let it do its current thing, and let it call
folio_zero_tail(), which is also called by folio_fill_tail().
Other filesystems can be converted later; these ones seemed like good
examples as they're already partly or completely converted to folios.
This patch (of 3):
Instead of unmapping the folio after copying the data to it, then mapping
it again to zero the tail, provide folio_zero_tail() to zero the tail of
an already-mapped folio.

The PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl returns information regarding page table entries.
It is more efficient compared to reading pagemap files. CRIU can start to
utilize this ioctl, but it needs info about soft-dirty bits to track
memory changes.
We are aware of a new method for tracking memory changes implemented in
the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl. For CRIU, the primary advantage of this method is
its usability by unprivileged users. However, it is not feasible to
transparently replace the soft-dirty tracker with the new one. The main
problem here is userfault descriptors that have to be preserved between
pre-dump iterations. It means criu continues supporting the soft-dirty
method to avoid breakage for current users. The new method will be
implemented as a separate feature.

The MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY flag for hotplugged memory is restricted to
'memblock_size' chunks of memory being added. Adding a larger span of
memory precludes memmap_on_memory semantics.
For users of hotplug such as kmem, large amounts of memory might get added
from the CXL subsystem. In some cases, this amount may exceed the
available 'main memory' to store the memmap for the memory being added.
In this case, it is useful to have a way to place the memmap on the memory
being added, even if it means splitting the addition into memblock-sized
chunks.
Change add_memory_resource() to loop over memblock-sized chunks of memory
if caller requested memmap_on_memory, and if other conditions for it are
met. Teach try_remove_memory() to also expect that a memory range being
removed might have been split up into memblock sized chunks, and to loop
through those as needed.
This does preclude being able to use PUD mappings in the direct map; a
proposal to how this could be optimized in the future is laid out here[1].

Patch series "mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem", v10.
The dax/kmem driver can potentially hot-add large amounts of memory
originating from CXL memory expanders, or NVDIMMs, or other 'device
memories'. There is a chance there isn't enough regular system memory
available to fit the memmap for this new memory. It's therefore
desirable, if all other conditions are met, for the kmem managed memory to
place its memmap on the newly added memory itself.
The main hurdle for accomplishing this for kmem is that memmap_on_memory
can only be done if the memory being added is equal to the size of one
memblock. To overcome this, allow the hotplug code to split an
add_memory() request into memblock-sized chunks, and try_remove_memory()
to also expect and handle such a scenario.
Patch 1 replaces an open-coded kmemdup()
Patch 2 teaches the memory_hotplug code to allow for splitting
add_memory() and remove_memory() requests over memblock sized chunks.
Patch 3 allows the dax region drivers to request memmap_on_memory
semantics. CXL dax regions default this to 'on', all others default to
off to keep existing behavior unchanged.
This patch (of 3):
A review of the memmap_on_memory modifications to add_memory_resource()
revealed an instance of an open-coded kmemdup(). Replace it with
kmemdup().

Sanity check that makes sure the nodes cover all memory loops over
numa_meminfo to count the pages that have node id assigned by the
firmware, then loops again over memblock.memory to find the total amount
of memory and in the end checks that the difference between the total
memory and memory that covered by nodes is less than some threshold.
Worse, the loop over numa_meminfo calls __absent_pages_in_range() that
also partially traverses memblock.memory.
It's much simpler and more efficient to have a single traversal of
memblock.memory that verifies that amount of memory not covered by nodes
is less than a threshold.
Introduce memblock_validate_numa_coverage() that does exactly that and use
it instead of numa_meminfo_cover_memory().

I can observe an obvious tlb flush hotspot when splitting a pte-mapped THP
on my ARM64 server, and the distribution of this hotspot is as follows:
- 16.85% split_huge_page_to_list
+ 7.80% down_write
- 7.49% try_to_migrate
- 7.48% rmap_walk_anon
7.23% ptep_clear_flush
+ 1.52% __split_huge_page
The reason is that the split_huge_page_to_list() will build migration
entries for each subpage of a pte-mapped Anon THP by try_to_migrate(), or
unmap for file THP, and it will clear and tlb flush for each subpage's
pte. Moreover, the split_huge_page_to_list() will set TTU_SPLIT_HUGE_PMD
flag to ensure the THP is already a pte-mapped THP before splitting it to
some normal pages.
Actually, there is no need to flush tlb for each subpage immediately,
instead we can batch tlb flush for the pte-mapped THP to improve the
performance.
After this patch, we can see the batch tlb flush can improve the latency
obviously when running thpscale.

In dup_mmap(), using __mt_dup() to duplicate the old maple tree and then
directly replacing the entries of VMAs in the new maple tree can result in
better performance. __mt_dup() uses DFS pre-order to duplicate the maple
tree, so it is efficient.
The average time complexity of __mt_dup() is O(n), where n is the number
of VMAs. The proof of the time complexity is provided in the commit log
that introduces __mt_dup(). After duplicating the maple tree, each
element is traversed and replaced (ignoring the cases of deletion, which
are rare). Since it is only a replacement operation for each element,
this process is also O(n).
Analyzing the exact time complexity of the previous algorithm is
challenging because each insertion can involve appending to a node,
pushing data to adjacent nodes, or even splitting nodes. The frequency of
each action is difficult to calculate. The worst-case scenario for a
single insertion is when the tree undergoes splitting at every level. If
we consider each insertion as the worst-case scenario, we can determine
that the upper bound of the time complexity is O(n*log(n)), although this
is a loose upper bound. However, based on the test data, it appears that
the actual time complexity is likely to be O(n).
As the entire maple tree is duplicated using __mt_dup(), if dup_mmap()
fails, there will be a portion of VMAs that have not been duplicated in
the maple tree. To handle this, we mark the failure point with
XA_ZERO_ENTRY. In exit_mmap(), if this marker is encountered, stop
releasing VMAs that have not been duplicated after this point.
There is a "spawn" in byte-unixbench[1], which can be used to test the
performance of fork(). I modified it slightly to make it work with
different number of VMAs.
Below are the test results. The first row shows the number of VMAs. The
second and third rows show the number of fork() calls per ten seconds,
corresponding to next-20231006 and the this patchset, respectively. The
test results were obtained with CPU binding to avoid scheduler load
balancing that could cause unstable results. There are still some

Introduce interfaces __mt_dup() and mtree_dup(), which are used to
duplicate a maple tree. They duplicate a maple tree in Depth-First Search
(DFS) pre-order traversal. It uses memcopy() to copy nodes in the source
tree and allocate new child nodes in non-leaf nodes. The new node is
exactly the same as the source node except for all the addresses stored in
it. It will be faster than traversing all elements in the source tree and
inserting them one by one into the new tree. The time complexity of these
two functions is O(n).
The difference between __mt_dup() and mtree_dup() is that mtree_dup()
handles locks internally.
Analysis of the average time complexity of this algorithm:
For simplicity, let's assume that the maximum branching factor of all
non-leaf nodes is 16 (in allocation mode, it is 10), and the tree is a
full tree.
Under the given conditions, if there is a maple tree with n elements, the
number of its leaves is n/16. From bottom to top, the number of nodes in
each level is 1/16 of the number of nodes in the level below. So the
total number of nodes in the entire tree is given by the sum of n/16 +
n/16^2 + n/16^3 + ... + 1. This is a geometric series, and it has log(n)
terms with base 16. According to the formula for the sum of a geometric
series, the sum of this series can be calculated as (n-1)/15. Each node
has only one parent node pointer, which can be considered as an edge. In
total, there are (n-1)/15-1 edges.
This algorithm consists of two operations:
1. Traversing all nodes in DFS order.
2. For each node, making a copy and performing necessary modifications
to create a new node.
For the first part, DFS traversal will visit each edge twice. Let
T(ascend) represent the cost of taking one step downwards, and T(descend)
represent the cost of taking one step upwards. And both of them are
constants (although mas_ascend() may not be, as it contains a loop, but
here we ignore it and treat it as a constant). So the time spent on the
first part can be represented as ((n-1)/15-1) * (T(ascend) + T(descend)).
For the second part, each node will be copied, and the cost of copying a
node is denoted as T(copy_node). For each non-leaf node, it is necessary
to reallocate all child nodes, and the cost of this operation is denoted
as T(dup_alloc). The behavior behind memory allocation is complex and not
specific to the maple tree operation. Here, we assume that the time
required for a single allocation is constant. Since the size of a node is
fixed, both of these symbols are also constants. We can calculate that
the time spent on the second part is ((n-1)/15) * T(copy_node) + ((n-1)/15
- n/16) * T(dup_alloc).
Adding both parts together, the total time spent by the algorithm can be
represented as:
((n-1)/15) * (T(ascend) + T(descend) + T(copy_node) + T(dup_alloc)) -
n/16 * T(dup_alloc) - (T(ascend) + T(descend))
Let C1 = T(ascend) + T(descend) + T(copy_node) + T(dup_alloc)
Let C2 = T(dup_alloc)
Let C3 = T(ascend) + T(descend)
Finally, the expression can be simplified as:
((16 * C1 - 15 * C2) / (15 * 16)) * n - (C1 / 15 + C3).
This is a linear function, so the average time complexity is O(n).

In some cases, nested locks may be needed, so {mtree,mas}_lock_nested is
introduced. For example, when duplicating maple tree, we need to hold the
locks of two trees, in which case nested locks are needed.
At the same time, add the definition of spin_lock_nested() in tools for
testing.

Patch series "Introduce __mt_dup() to improve the performance of fork()", v7.
This series introduces __mt_dup() to improve the performance of fork().
During the duplication process of mmap, all VMAs are traversed and
inserted one by one into the new maple tree, causing the maple tree to be
rebalanced multiple times. Balancing the maple tree is a costly
operation. To duplicate VMAs more efficiently, mtree_dup() and __mt_dup()
are introduced for the maple tree. They can efficiently duplicate a maple
tree.
Here are some algorithmic details about {mtree,__mt}_dup(). We perform a
DFS pre-order traversal of all nodes in the source maple tree. During
this process, we fully copy the nodes from the source tree to the new
tree. This involves memory allocation, and when encountering a new node,
if it is a non-leaf node, all its child nodes are allocated at once.
This idea was originally from Liam R. Howlett's Maple Tree Work email,
and I added some of my own ideas to implement it. Some previous
discussions can be found in [1]. For a more detailed analysis of the
algorithm, please refer to the logs for patch [3/10] and patch [10/10].
There is a "spawn" in byte-unixbench[2], which can be used to test the
performance of fork(). I modified it slightly to make it work with
different number of VMAs.
Below are the test results. The first row shows the number of VMAs. The
second and third rows show the number of fork() calls per ten seconds,
corresponding to next-20231006 and the this patchset, respectively. The
test results were obtained with CPU binding to avoid scheduler load
balancing that could cause unstable results. There are still some
fluctuations in the test results, but at least they are better than the
original performance.

This will help to identify which nodes are under pressure.

If nilfs2 reads a disk image with corrupted segment usage metadata, and
its segment usage information is marked as an error for the segment at the
write location, nilfs_sufile_set_segment_usage() can trigger WARN_ONs
during log writing.
Segments newly allocated for writing with nilfs_sufile_alloc() will not
have this error flag set, but this unexpected situation will occur if the
segment indexed by either nilfs->ns_segnum or nilfs->ns_nextnum (active
segment) was marked in error.
Fix this issue by inserting a sanity check to treat it as a file system
corruption.
Since error returns are not allowed during the execution phase where
nilfs_sufile_set_segment_usage() is used, this inserts the sanity check
into nilfs_sufile_mark_dirty() which pre-reads the buffer containing the
segment usage record to be updated and sets it up in a dirty state for
writing.
In addition, nilfs_sufile_set_segment_usage() is also called when
canceling log writing and undoing segment usage update, so in order to
avoid issuing the same kernel warning in that case, in case of
cancellation, avoid checking the error flag in
nilfs_sufile_set_segment_usage().

When mounting a filesystem image with a block size larger than the page

...

...
This overloads the system logger. And to make matters worse, it sometimes
crashes the kernel with a memory access violation.
This is because the return value of the sb_set_blocksize() call, which
should be checked for errors, is not checked.
The latter issue is due to out-of-buffer memory being accessed based on a
large block size that caused sb_set_blocksize() to fail for buffers read
with the initial minimum block size that remained unupdated in the
super_block structure.
Since nilfs2 mkfs tool does not accept block sizes larger than the system
page size, this has been overlooked. However, it is possible to create
this situation by intentionally modifying the tool or by passing a
filesystem image created on a system with a large page size to a system
with a smaller page size and mounting it.
Fix this issue by inserting the expected error handling for the call to
sb_set_blocksize().

Ignat Korchagin complained that a potential config regression was
introduced by commit 89cde45591 ("kexec: consolidate kexec and crash
options into kernel/Kconfig.kexec"). Before the commit, CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
has no dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC. After the commit, CRASH_DUMP selects
KEXEC. That enforces system to have CONFIG_KEXEC=y as long as
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=Y which people may not want.
In Ignat's case, he sets CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y, CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y and
CONFIG_KEXEC=n because kexec_load interface could have security issue if
kernel/initrd has no chance to be signed and verified.
CRASH_DUMP has select of KEXEC because Eric, author of above commit, met a
LKP report of build failure when posting patch of earlier version. Please
see below link to get detail of the LKP report:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/3e8eecd1-a277-2cfb-690e-5de2eb7b988e@oracle.com/T/#u
In fact, that LKP report is triggered because arm's <asm/kexec.h> is
wrapped in CONFIG_KEXEC ifdeffery scope. That is wrong. CONFIG_KEXEC
controls the enabling/disabling of kexec_load interface, but not kexec
feature. Removing the wrongly added CONFIG_KEXEC ifdeffery scope in
<asm/kexec.h> of arm allows us to drop the select KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP.
Meanwhile, change arch/arm/kernel/Makefile to let machine_kexec.o
relocate_kernel.o depend on KEXEC_CORE.

After commit 88a6f89944 ("crash: memory and CPU hotplug sysfs
attributes"), on x86_64, if only below kernel configs related to kdump are
set, compiling error are triggered.

------------------------------------------------------
CONFIG_KEXEC is used to enable kexec_load interface, the
crash_notes/crash_notes_size/crash_hotplug showing depends on
CONFIG_KEXEC is incorrect. It should depend on KEXEC_CORE instead.
Fix it now.

If a scheme is set to not applied to any monitoring target region for any
reasons including the target access pattern, quota, filters, or
watermarks, writing 'update_schemes_tried_regions' to 'state' DAMON sysfs
file can indefinitely hang. Fix the case by implementing a timeout for
the operation. The time limit is two apply intervals of each scheme.
