David Rientjes 24d7cd207f mm, hugetlb_cgroup: align hugetlb cgroup limit to hugepage size
Memcg aligns memory.limit_in_bytes to PAGE_SIZE as part of the resource
counter since it makes no sense to allow a partial page to be charged.

As a result of the hugetlb cgroup using the resource counter, it is also
aligned to PAGE_SIZE but makes no sense unless aligned to the size of
the hugepage being limited.

Align hugetlb cgroup limit to hugepage size.

Linus Torvalds f6f993328b Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "Stuff in here:

   - acct.c fixes and general rework of mnt_pin mechanism.  That allows
     to go for delayed-mntput stuff, which will permit mntput() on deep
     stack without worrying about stack overflows - fs shutdown will
     happen on shallow stack.  IOW, we can do Eric's umount-on-rmdir
     series without introducing tons of stack overflows on new mntput()
     call chains it introduces.
   - Bruce's d_splice_alias() patches
   - more Miklos' rename() stuff.
   - a couple of regression fixes (stable fodder, in the end of branch)
     and a fix for API idiocy in iov_iter.c.

  There definitely will be another pile, maybe even two.  I'd like to
  get Eric's series in this time, but even if we miss it, it'll go right
  in the beginning of for-next in the next cycle - the tricky part of

David Herrmann 05f65b5c70 shm: wait for pins to be released when sealing
If we set SEAL_WRITE on a file, we must make sure there cannot be any
ongoing write-operations on the file.  For write() calls, we simply lock
the inode mutex, for mmap() we simply verify there're no writable
mappings.  However, there might be pages pinned by AIO, Direct-IO and
similar operations via GUP.  We must make sure those do not write to the
memfd file after we set SEAL_WRITE.

As there is no way to notify GUP users to drop pages or to wait for them
to be done, we implement the wait ourself: When setting SEAL_WRITE, we
check all pages for their ref-count.  If it's bigger than 1, we know
there's some user of the page.  We then mark the page and wait for up to
150ms for those ref-counts to be dropped.  If the ref-counts are not
dropped in time, we refuse the seal operation.

David Herrmann 9183df25fe shm: add memfd_create() syscall
memfd_create() is similar to mmap(MAP_ANON), but returns a file-descriptor
that you can pass to mmap().  It can support sealing and avoids any
connection to user-visible mount-points.  Thus, it's not subject to quotas
on mounted file-systems, but can be used like malloc()'ed memory, but with
a file-descriptor to it.

memfd_create() returns the raw shmem file, so calls like ftruncate() can
be used to modify the underlying inode.  Also calls like fstat() will
return proper information and mark the file as regular file.  If you want
sealing, you can specify MFD_ALLOW_SEALING.  Otherwise, sealing is not
supported (like on all other regular files).

Compared to O_TMPFILE, it does not require a tmpfs mount-point and is not
subject to a filesystem size limit.  It is still properly accounted to
memcg limits, though, and to the same overcommit or no-overcommit
accounting as all user memory.

David Herrmann 40e041a2c8 shm: add sealing API
If two processes share a common memory region, they usually want some
guarantees to allow safe access. This often includes:
  - one side cannot overwrite data while the other reads it
  - one side cannot shrink the buffer while the other accesses it
  - one side cannot grow the buffer beyond previously set boundaries

If there is a trust-relationship between both parties, there is no need
for policy enforcement.  However, if there's no trust relationship (eg.,
for general-purpose IPC) sharing memory-regions is highly fragile and
often not possible without local copies.  Look at the following two
use-cases:

  1) A graphics client wants to share its rendering-buffer with a
     graphics-server. The memory-region is allocated by the client for
     read/write access and a second FD is passed to the server. While
     scanning out from the memory region, the server has no guarantee that
     the client doesn't shrink the buffer at any time, requiring rather
     cumbersome SIGBUS handling.
  2) A process wants to perform an RPC on another process. To avoid huge
     bandwidth consumption, zero-copy is preferred. After a message is
     assembled in-memory and a FD is passed to the remote side, both sides
     want to be sure that neither modifies this shared copy, anymore. The
     source may have put sensible data into the message without a separate
     copy and the target may want to parse the message inline, to avoid a
     local copy.

While SIGBUS handling, POSIX mandatory locking and MAP_DENYWRITE provide
ways to achieve most of this, the first one is unproportionally ugly to
use in libraries and the latter two are broken/racy or even disabled due
to denial of service attacks.

This patch introduces the concept of SEALING.  If you seal a file, a
specific set of operations is blocked on that file forever.  Unlike locks,
seals can only be set, never removed.  Hence, once you verified a specific
set of seals is set, you're guaranteed that no-one can perform the blocked
operations on this file, anymore.

An initial set of SEALS is introduced by this patch:
  - SHRINK: If SEAL_SHRINK is set, the file in question cannot be reduced
            in size. This affects ftruncate() and open(O_TRUNC).
  - GROW: If SEAL_GROW is set, the file in question cannot be increased
          in size. This affects ftruncate(), fallocate() and write().
  - WRITE: If SEAL_WRITE is set, no write operations (besides resizing)
           are possible. This affects fallocate(PUNCH_HOLE), mmap() and
           write().
  - SEAL: If SEAL_SEAL is set, no further seals can be added to a file.
          This basically prevents the F_ADD_SEAL operation on a file and
          can be set to prevent others from adding further seals that you
          don't want.

The described use-cases can easily use these seals to provide safe use
without any trust-relationship:

  1) The graphics server can verify that a passed file-descriptor has
     SEAL_SHRINK set. This allows safe scanout, while the client is
     allowed to increase buffer size for window-resizing on-the-fly.
     Concurrent writes are explicitly allowed.
  2) For general-purpose IPC, both processes can verify that SEAL_SHRINK,
     SEAL_GROW and SEAL_WRITE are set. This guarantees that neither
     process can modify the data while the other side parses it.
     Furthermore, it guarantees that even with writable FDs passed to the
     peer, it cannot increase the size to hit memory-limits of the source
     process (in case the file-storage is accounted to the source).

The new API is an extension to fcntl(), adding two new commands:
  F_GET_SEALS: Return a bitset describing the seals on the file. This
               can be called on any FD if the underlying file supports
               sealing.
  F_ADD_SEALS: Change the seals of a given file. This requires WRITE
               access to the file and F_SEAL_SEAL may not already be set.
               Furthermore, the underlying file must support sealing and
               there may not be any existing shared mapping of that file.
               Otherwise, EBADF/EPERM is returned.
               The given seals are _added_ to the existing set of seals
               on the file. You cannot remove seals again.

The fcntl() handler is currently specific to shmem and disabled on all
files. A file needs to explicitly support sealing for this interface to
work. A separate syscall is added in a follow-up, which creates files that
support sealing. There is no intention to support this on other
file-systems. Semantics are unclear for non-volatile files and we lack any
use-case right now. Therefore, the implementation is specific to shmem.

David Herrmann 4bb5f5d939 mm: allow drivers to prevent new writable mappings
This patch (of 6):

The i_mmap_writable field counts existing writable mappings of an
address_space.  To allow drivers to prevent new writable mappings, make
this counter signed and prevent new writable mappings if it is negative.
This is modelled after i_writecount and DENYWRITE.

This will be required by the shmem-sealing infrastructure to prevent any
new writable mappings after the WRITE seal has been set.  In case there
exists a writable mapping, this operation will fail with EBUSY.

Note that we rely on the fact that iff you already own a writable mapping,
you can increase the counter without using the helpers.  This is the same
that we do for i_writecount.

Andy Lutomirski a6c19dfe39 arm64,ia64,ppc,s390,sh,tile,um,x86,mm: remove default gate area
The core mm code will provide a default gate area based on
FIXADDR_USER_START and FIXADDR_USER_END if
!defined(__HAVE_ARCH_GATE_AREA) && defined(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR).

This default is only useful for ia64.  arm64, ppc, s390, sh, tile, 64-bit
UML, and x86_32 have their own code just to disable it.  arm, 32-bit UML,
and x86_64 have gate areas, but they have their own implementations.

This gets rid of the default and moves the code into ia64.

This should save some code on architectures without a gate area: it's now
possible to inline the gate_area functions in the default case.

Johannes Weiner 6abb5a867b mm: memcontrol: avoid charge statistics churn during page migration
Charge migration currently disables IRQs twice to update the charge
statistics for the old page and then again for the new page.

But migration is a seamless transition of a charge from one physical
page to another one of the same size, so this should be a non-event from
an accounting point of view.  Leave the statistics alone.

Johannes Weiner 0a31bc97c8 mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API
The memcg uncharging code that is involved towards the end of a page's
lifetime - truncation, reclaim, swapout, migration - is impressively
complicated and fragile.

Because anonymous and file pages were always charged before they had their
page->mapping established, uncharges had to happen when the page type
could still be known from the context; as in unmap for anonymous, page
cache removal for file and shmem pages, and swap cache truncation for swap
pages.  However, these operations happen well before the page is actually
freed, and so a lot of synchronization is necessary:

- Charging, uncharging, page migration, and charge migration all need
  to take a per-page bit spinlock as they could race with uncharging.

- Swap cache truncation happens during both swap-in and swap-out, and
  possibly repeatedly before the page is actually freed.  This means
  that the memcg swapout code is called from many contexts that make
  no sense and it has to figure out the direction from page state to
  make sure memory and memory+swap are always correctly charged.

- On page migration, the old page might be unmapped but then reused,
  so memcg code has to prevent untimely uncharging in that case.
  Because this code - which should be a simple charge transfer - is so
  special-cased, it is not reusable for replace_page_cache().

But now that charged pages always have a page->mapping, introduce
mem_cgroup_uncharge(), which is called after the final put_page(), when we
know for sure that nobody is looking at the page anymore.

For page migration, introduce mem_cgroup_migrate(), which is called after
the migration is successful and the new page is fully rmapped.  Because
the old page is no longer uncharged after migration, prevent double
charges by decoupling the page's memcg association (PCG_USED and
pc->mem_cgroup) from the page holding an actual charge.  The new bits
PCG_MEM and PCG_MEMSW represent the respective charges and are transferred
to the new page during migration.

mem_cgroup_migrate() is suitable for replace_page_cache() as well,
which gets rid of mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache().  However, care
needs to be taken because both the source and the target page can
already be charged and on the LRU when fuse is splicing: grab the page
lock on the charge moving side to prevent changing pc->mem_cgroup of a
page under migration.  Also, the lruvecs of both pages change as we
uncharge the old and charge the new during migration, and putback may
race with us, so grab the lru lock and isolate the pages iff on LRU to
prevent races and ensure the pages are on the right lruvec afterward.

Swap accounting is massively simplified: because the page is no longer
uncharged as early as swap cache deletion, a new mem_cgroup_swapout() can
transfer the page's memory+swap charge (PCG_MEMSW) to the swap entry
before the final put_page() in page reclaim.

Finally, page_cgroup changes are now protected by whatever protection the
page itself offers: anonymous pages are charged under the page table lock,
whereas page cache insertions, swapin, and migration hold the page lock.
Uncharging happens under full exclusion with no outstanding references.
Charging and uncharging also ensure that the page is off-LRU, which
serializes against charge migration.  Remove the very costly page_cgroup
lock and set pc->flags non-atomically.

Johannes Weiner 00501b531c mm: memcontrol: rewrite charge API

with the lifetime of user pages.  This drastically simplifies the code and

This patch (of 4):

The memcg charge API charges pages before they are rmapped - i.e.  have an
actual "type" - and so every callsite needs its own set of charge and
uncharge functions to know what type is being operated on.  Worse,
uncharge has to happen from a context that is still type-specific, rather
than at the end of the page's lifetime with exclusive access, and so
requires a lot of synchronization.

Rewrite the charge API to provide a generic set of try_charge(),
commit_charge() and cancel_charge() transaction operations, much like
what's currently done for swap-in:

  mem_cgroup_try_charge() attempts to reserve a charge, reclaiming
  pages from the memcg if necessary.

  mem_cgroup_commit_charge() commits the page to the charge once it
  has a valid page->mapping and PageAnon() reliably tells the type.

  mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() aborts the transaction.

This reduces the charge API and enables subsequent patches to
drastically simplify uncharging.

As pages need to be committed after rmap is established but before they
are added to the LRU, page_add_new_anon_rmap() must stop doing LRU
additions again.  Revive lru_cache_add_active_or_unevictable().

Joonsoo Kim edcad25095 Revert "slab: remove BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC"
This reverts commit a640616822 ("slab: remove BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC").

commit a640616822 ("slab: remove BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC") assumes that the
system with !CONFIG_NUMA has only one memory node.  But, it turns out to
be false by the report from Geert.  His system, m68k, has many memory
nodes and is configured in !CONFIG_NUMA.  So it couldn't boot with above
change.

Here goes his failure report.

Change the type of the zbud_alloc() size param from unsigned int to

Technically, this should not make any difference, as the zbud
implementation already restricts the size to well within either type's
limits; but as zsmalloc (and kmalloc) use size_t, and zpool will use
size_t, this brings the size parameter type in line with zsmalloc/zpool.

Max Filippov 15de36a4c3 mm/highmem: make kmap cache coloring aware
User-visible effect:
 Architectures that choose this method of maintaining cache coherency
(MIPS and xtensa currently) are able to use high memory on cores with
aliasing data cache.  Without this fix such architectures can not use
high memory (in case of xtensa it means that at most 128 MBytes of
physical memory is available).

The problem:
 VIPT cache with way size larger than MMU page size may suffer from
aliasing problem: a single physical address accessed via different
virtual addresses may end up in multiple locations in the cache.
Virtual mappings of a physical address that always get cached in
different cache locations are said to have different colors.  L1 caching
hardware usually doesn't handle this situation leaving it up to
software.  Software must avoid this situation as it leads to data
corruption.

What can be done:
 One way to handle this is to flush and invalidate data cache every time
page mapping changes color.  The other way is to always map physical
page at a virtual address with the same color.  Low memory pages already
have this property.  Giving architecture a way to control color of high
memory page mapping allows reusing of existing low memory cache alias
handling code.

How this is done with this patch:
 Provide hooks that allow architectures with aliasing cache to align
mapping address of high pages according to their color.  Such
architectures may enforce similar coloring of low- and high-memory page
mappings and reuse existing cache management functions to support
highmem.

This code is based on the implementation of similar feature for MIPS by
Leonid Yegoshin.

Peter Zijlstra b972216e27 mmu_notifier: add call_srcu and sync function for listener to delay call and sync
When kernel device drivers or subsystems want to bind their lifespan to
t= he lifespan of the mm_struct, they usually use one of the following
methods:

1. Manually calling a function in the interested kernel module.  The
   funct= ion call needs to be placed in mmput.  This method was rejected
   by several ker= nel maintainers.

2. Registering to the mmu notifier release mechanism.

The problem with the latter approach is that the mmu_notifier_release
cal= lback is called from__mmu_notifier_release (called from exit_mmap).
That functi= on iterates over the list of mmu notifiers and don't expect
the release call= back function to remove itself from the list.
Therefore, the callback function= in the kernel module can't release the
mmu_notifier_object, which is actuall= y the kernel module's object
itself.  As a result, the destruction of the kernel module's object must
to be done in a delayed fashion.

This patch adds support for this delayed callback, by adding a new
mmu_notifier_call_srcu function that receives a function ptr and calls
th= at function with call_srcu.  In that function, the kernel module
releases its object.  To use mmu_notifier_call_srcu, the calling module
needs to call b= efore that a new function called
mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release that as its= name implies,
unregisters a notifier without calling its notifier release call= back.

This patch also adds a function that will call barrier_srcu so those
kern= el modules can sync with mmu_notifier.

Jerome Marchand 2ab051e11b memcg, vmscan: Fix forced scan of anonymous pages
When memory cgoups are enabled, the code that decides to force to scan
anonymous pages in get_scan_count() compares global values (free,
high_watermark) to a value that is restricted to a memory cgroup (file).
It make the code over-eager to force anon scan.

For instance, it will force anon scan when scanning a memcg that is
mainly populated by anonymous page, even when there is plenty of file
pages to get rid of in others memcgs, even when swappiness == 0.  It
breaks user's expectation about swappiness and hurts performance.

This patch makes sure that forced anon scan only happens when there not
enough file pages for the all zone, not just in one random memcg.

David Rientjes fb794bcbb4 mm, oom: remove unnecessary exit_state check
The oom killer scans each process and determines whether it is eligible
for oom kill or whether the oom killer should abort because of
concurrent memory freeing.  It will abort when an eligible process is
found to have TIF_MEMDIE set, meaning it has already been oom killed and
we're waiting for it to exit.

Processes with task->mm == NULL should not be considered because they
are either kthreads or have already detached their memory and killing
them would not lead to memory freeing.  That memory is only freed after
exit_mm() has returned, however, and not when task->mm is first set to
NULL.

Clear TIF_MEMDIE after exit_mm()'s mmput() so that an oom killed process
is no longer considered for oom kill, but only until exit_mm() has
returned.  This was fragile in the past because it relied on
exit_notify() to be reached before no longer considering TIF_MEMDIE
processes.

Then in dissolve_free_huge_pages(), order is kept maximum (64 for
64bits), and the for loop below won't end: for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn <
end_pfn; pfn += 1 << order)

As suggested by Naoya, below fix checks hugepages_supported() before

David Rientjes 8fe780484d mm, thp: restructure thp avoidance of light synchronous migration
__GFP_NO_KSWAPD, once the way to determine if an allocation was for thp
or not, has gained more users.  Their use is not necessarily wrong, they
are trying to do a memory allocation that can easily fail without
disturbing kswapd, so the bit has gained additional usecases.

This restructures the check to determine whether MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT
should be used for memory compaction in the page allocator.  Rather than
testing solely for __GFP_NO_KSWAPD, test for all bits that must be set
for thp allocations.

This also moves the check to be done only after the page allocator is
aborted for deferred or contended memory compaction since setting
migration_mode for this case is pointless.

This is because the above commands probe higher memory after online a
section with online_movable, which causes ZONE_HIGHMEM (or ZONE_NORMAL
for systems without ZONE_HIGHMEM) overlaps ZONE_MOVABLE.

After the second online_movable, the problem can be observed from
zoneinfo:

This series of patches solve the problem by checking ZONE_MOVABLE when
choosing zone for new memory.  If new memory is inside or higher than
ZONE_MOVABLE, makes it go there instead.

This patch (of 7):

Introduce zone_for_memory() in arch independent code for
arch_add_memory() use.

Many arch_add_memory() function simply selects ZONE_HIGHMEM or
ZONE_NORMAL and add new memory into it.  However, with the existance of
ZONE_MOVABLE, the selection method should be carefully considered: if
new, higher memory is added after ZONE_MOVABLE is setup, the default
zone and ZONE_MOVABLE may overlap each other.

should_add_memory_movable() checks the status of ZONE_MOVABLE.  If it
has already contain memory, compare the address of new memory and
movable memory.  If new memory is higher than movable, it should be
added into ZONE_MOVABLE instead of default zone.

Setting vm_dirty_bytes and dirty_background_bytes is not protected by
any serialization.

Therefore, it's possible for either variable to change value after the
test in global_dirty_limits() to determine whether available_memory
needs to be initialized or not.

Always ensure that available_memory is properly initialized.

David Rientjes 14a4e2141e mm, thp: only collapse hugepages to nodes with affinity for zone_reclaim_mode
Commit 9f1b868a13 ("mm: thp: khugepaged: add policy for finding target
node") improved the previous khugepaged logic which allocated a
transparent hugepages from the node of the first page being collapsed.

However, it is still possible to collapse pages to remote memory which
may suffer from additional access latency.  With the current policy, it
is possible that 255 pages (with PAGE_SHIFT == 12) will be collapsed
remotely if the majority are allocated from that node.

When zone_reclaim_mode is enabled, it means the VM should make every
attempt to allocate locally to prevent NUMA performance degradation.  In
this case, we do not want to collapse hugepages to remote nodes that
would suffer from increased access latency.  Thus, when
zone_reclaim_mode is enabled, only allow collapsing to nodes with
RECLAIM_DISTANCE or less.

There is no functional change for systems that disable
zone_reclaim_mode.

Mel Gorman 4ffeaf3560 mm: page_alloc: reduce cost of the fair zone allocation policy
The fair zone allocation policy round-robins allocations between zones
within a node to avoid age inversion problems during reclaim.  If the
first allocation fails, the batch counts are reset and a second attempt
made before entering the slow path.

One assumption made with this scheme is that batches expire at roughly
the same time and the resets each time are justified.  This assumption
does not hold when zones reach their low watermark as the batches will
be consumed at uneven rates.  Allocation failure due to watermark
depletion result in additional zonelist scans for the reset and another
watermark check before hitting the slowpath.

On UMA, the benefit is negligible -- around 0.25%.  On 4-socket NUMA
machine it's variable due to the variability of measuring overhead with
the vmstat changes.  The system CPU overhead comparison looks like

          3.16.0-rc3  3.16.0-rc3  3.16.0-rc3

Elapsed     27553.52    27415.04    27368.46

However it is worth noting that the overall benchmark still completed
faster and intuitively it makes sense to take as few passes as possible
through the zonelists.

Mel Gorman f7b5d64794 mm: page_alloc: abort fair zone allocation policy when remotes nodes are encountered
The purpose of numa_zonelist_order=zone is to preserve lower zones for
use with 32-bit devices.  If locality is preferred then the
numa_zonelist_order=node policy should be used.

Unfortunately, the fair zone allocation policy overrides this by
skipping zones on remote nodes until the lower one is found.  While this
makes sense from a page aging and performance perspective, it breaks the
expected zonelist policy.  This patch restores the expected behaviour
for zone-list ordering.

When kswapd is awake reclaiming, the per-cpu stat thresholds are lowered
to get more accurate counts to avoid breaching watermarks.  This
threshold update iterates over all possible CPUs which is unnecessary.
Only online CPUs need to be updated.  If a new CPU is onlined,

Mel Gorman 0d5d823ab4 mm: move zone->pages_scanned into a vmstat counter
zone->pages_scanned is a write-intensive cache line during page reclaim
and it's also updated during page free.  Move the counter into vmstat to
take advantage of the per-cpu updates and do not update it in the free
paths unless necessary.

On a small UMA machine running tiobench the difference is marginal.  On
a 4-node machine the overhead is more noticable.  Note that automatic
NUMA balancing was disabled for this test as otherwise the system CPU
overhead is unpredictable.

Mel Gorman 3484b2de94 mm: rearrange zone fields into read-only, page alloc, statistics and page reclaim lines
The arrangement of struct zone has changed over time and now it has
reached the point where there is some inappropriate sharing going on.
On x86-64 for example

o The zone->node field is shared with the zone lock and zone->node is
  accessed frequently from the page allocator due to the fair zone
  allocation policy.

o span_seqlock is almost never used by shares a line with free_area

o Some zone statistics share a cache line with the LRU lock so
  reclaim-intensive and allocator-intensive workloads can bounce the cache
  line on a stat update

This patch rearranges struct zone to put read-only and read-mostly
fields together and then splits the page allocator intensive fields, the
zone statistics and the page reclaim intensive fields into their own
cache lines.  Note that the type of lowmem_reserve changes due to the
watermark calculations being signed and avoiding a signed/unsigned
conversion there.

On the test configuration I used the overall size of struct zone shrunk
by one cache line.  On smaller machines, this is not likely to be
noticable.  However, on a 4-node NUMA machine running tiobench the
system CPU overhead is reduced by this patch.

Mel Gorman 24b7e5819a mm: pagemap: avoid unnecessary overhead when tracepoints are deactivated
This was formerly the series "Improve sequential read throughput" which
noted some major differences in performance of tiobench since 3.0.
While there are a number of factors, two that dominated were the
introduction of the fair zone allocation policy and changes to CFQ.

The behaviour of fair zone allocation policy makes more sense than
tiobench as a benchmark and CFQ defaults were not changed due to
insufficient benchmarking.

This series is what's left.  It's one functional fix to the fair zone
allocation policy when used on NUMA machines and a reduction of overhead
in general.  tiobench was used for the comparison despite its flaws as
an IO benchmark as in this case we are primarily interested in the
overhead of page allocator and page reclaim activity.

On UMA, it makes little difference to overhead

In case if page fault happend on dirty filemapping the newly created pte
