Patch series "continue hugetlb folio conversion", v3.
This series continues the conversion of core hugetlb functions to use
folios. This series converts many helper funtions in the hugetlb fault
path. This is in preparation for another series to convert the hugetlb
fault code paths to operate on folios.
This patch (of 8):
Convert isolate_hugetlb() to take in a folio and convert its callers to
pass a folio. Use page_folio() to convert the callers to use a folio is
safe as isolate_hugetlb() operates on a head page.

Update the mlock interface to accept folios rather than pages, bringing
the interface in line with the internal implementation.
munlock_vma_page() still requires a page_folio() conversion, however this
is consistent with the existent mlock_vma_page() implementation and a
product of rmap still dealing in pages rather than folios.

In hugetlb_fault(), there used to have a special path to handle swap entry
at the entrance using huge_pte_offset(). That's unsafe because
huge_pte_offset() for a pmd sharable range can access freed pgtables if
without any lock to protect the pgtable from being freed after pmd
unshare.
Here the simplest solution to make it safe is to move the swap handling to
be after the vma lock being held. We may need to take the fault mutex on
either migration or hwpoison entries now (also the vma lock, but that's
really needed), however neither of them is hot path.
Note that the vma lock cannot be released in hugetlb_fault() when the
migration entry is detected, because in migration_entry_wait_huge() the
pgtable page will be used again (by taking the pgtable lock), so that also
need to be protected by the vma lock. Modify migration_entry_wait_huge()
so that it must be called with vma read lock held, and properly release
the lock in __migration_entry_wait_huge().

Merge tag 'slab-for-6.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab
Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- SLOB deprecation and SLUB_TINY
The SLOB allocator adds maintenance burden and stands in the way of
API improvements [1]. Deprecate it by renaming the config option (to
make users notice) to CONFIG_SLOB_DEPRECATED with updated help text.
SLUB should be used instead as SLAB will be the next on the removal
list.
Based on reports from a riscv k210 board with 8MB RAM, add a
CONFIG_SLUB_TINY option to minimize SLUB's memory usage at the
expense of scalability. This has resolved the k210 regression [2] so
in case there are no others (that wouldn't be resolvable by further
tweaks to SLUB_TINY) plan is to remove SLOB in a few cycles.
Existing defconfigs with CONFIG_SLOB are converted to
CONFIG_SLUB_TINY.
- kmalloc() slub_debug redzone improvements
A series from Feng Tang that builds on the tracking or requested size
for kmalloc() allocations (for caches with debugging enabled) added
in 6.1, to make redzone checks consider the requested size and not
the rounded up one, in order to catch more subtle buffer overruns.
Includes new slub_kunit test.
- struct slab fields reordering to accomodate larger rcu_head
RCU folks would like to grow rcu_head with debugging options, which
breaks current struct slab layout's assumptions, so reorganize it to
make this possible.
- Miscellaneous improvements/fixes:
- __alloc_size checking compiler workaround (Kees Cook)
- Optimize and cleanup SLUB's sysfs init (Rasmus Villemoes)
- Make SLAB compatible with PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING (Jiri Kosina)
- Correct SLUB's percpu allocation estimates (Baoquan He)
- Re-enableS LUB's run-time failslab sysfs control (Alexander Atanasov)
- Make tools/vm/slabinfo more user friendly when not run as root (Rong Tao)
- Dead code removal in SLUB (Hyeonggon Yoo)

In the next commit we want to rearrange struct slab fields to allow a larger
rcu_head. Afterwards, the page->mapping field will overlap with SLUB's "struct
list_head slab_list", where the value of prev pointer can become LIST_POISON2,
which is 0x122 + POISON_POINTER_DELTA. Unfortunately the bit 1 being set can
confuse PageMovable() to be a false positive and cause a GPF as reported by lkp
[1].
To fix this, make isolate_movable_page() skip pages with the PageSlab flag set.
This is a bit tricky as we need to add memory barriers to SLAB and SLUB's page
allocation and freeing, and their counterparts to isolate_movable_page().
Based on my RFC from [2]. Added a comment update from Matthew's variant in [3]
and, as done there, moved the PageSlab checks to happen before trying to take
the page lock.

When creating a virtual machine, we will use memfd_create() to get a file
descriptor which can be used to create share memory mappings using the
mmap function, meanwhile the mmap() will set the MAP_POPULATE flag to
allocate physical pages for the virtual machine.
When allocating physical pages for the guest, the host can fallback to
allocate some CMA pages for the guest when over half of the zone's free
memory is in the CMA area.
In guest os, when the application wants to do some data transaction with
DMA, our QEMU will call VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA ioctl to do longterm-pin and
create IOMMU mappings for the DMA pages. However, when calling
VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA ioctl to pin the physical pages, we found it will be
failed to longterm-pin sometimes.
After some invetigation, we found the pages used to do DMA mapping can
contain some CMA pages, and these CMA pages will cause a possible failure
of the longterm-pin, due to failed to migrate the CMA pages. The reason
of migration failure may be temporary reference count or memory allocation
failure. So that will cause the VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA ioctl returns error,
which makes the application failed to start.
I observed one migration failure case (which is not easy to reproduce) is
that, the 'thp_migration_fail' count is 1 and the 'thp_split_page_failed'
count is also 1.
That means when migrating a THP which is in CMA area, but can not allocate
a new THP due to memory fragmentation, so it will split the THP. However
THP split is also failed, probably the reason is temporary reference count
of this THP. And the temporary reference count can be caused by dropping
page caches (I observed the drop caches operation in the system), but we
can not drop the shmem page caches due to they are already dirty at that
time.
Especially for THP split failure, which is caused by temporary reference
count, we can try again to mitigate the failure of migration in this case
according to previous discussion [1].

During THP migration, if THPs are not migrated but they are split and all
subpages are migrated successfully, migrate_pages() will still return the
number of THP pages that were not migrated. This will confuse the callers
of migrate_pages(). For example, the longterm pinning will failed though
all pages are migrated successfully.
Thus we should return 0 to indicate that all pages are migrated in this
case

Patch series "Fix several device private page reference counting issues",
v2
This series aims to fix a number of page reference counting issues in
drivers dealing with device private ZONE_DEVICE pages. These result in
use-after-free type bugs, either from accessing a struct page which no
longer exists because it has been removed or accessing fields within the
struct page which are no longer valid because the page has been freed.
During normal usage it is unlikely these will cause any problems. However
without these fixes it is possible to crash the kernel from userspace.
These crashes can be triggered either by unloading the kernel module or
unbinding the device from the driver prior to a userspace task exiting.
In modules such as Nouveau it is also possible to trigger some of these
issues by explicitly closing the device file-descriptor prior to the task
exiting and then accessing device private memory.
This involves some minor changes to both PowerPC and AMD GPU code.
Unfortunately I lack hardware to test either of those so any help there
would be appreciated. The changes mimic what is done in for both Nouveau
and hmm-tests though so I doubt they will cause problems.
This patch (of 8):
When the CPU tries to access a device private page the migrate_to_ram()
callback associated with the pgmap for the page is called. However no
reference is taken on the faulting page. Therefore a concurrent migration
of the device private page can free the page and possibly the underlying
pgmap. This results in a race which can crash the kernel due to the
migrate_to_ram() function pointer becoming invalid. It also means drivers
can't reliably read the zone_device_data field because the page may have
been freed with memunmap_pages().
Close the race by getting a reference on the page while holding the ptl to
ensure it has not been freed. Unfortunately the elevated reference count
will cause the migration required to handle the fault to fail. To avoid
this failure pass the faulting page into the migrate_vma functions so that
if an elevated reference count is found it can be checked to see if it's
expected or not.

This patch builds the demotion target for a NUMA node by looking at all
memory tiers below the tier to which the NUMA node belongs. The closest
node in the immediately following memory tier is used as a demotion
target.
Since we are now only building demotion target for N_MEMORY NUMA nodes the

If THP is failed to migrate due to -ENOSYS or -ENOMEM case, the THP will
be split, and the subpages of fail-to-migrate THP will be tried to migrate
again, so we should not account the retry counter in the second loop,
since we already accounted 'nr_thp_failed' in the first loop.
Moreover we also do not need retry 10 times for -EAGAIN case for the
subpages of fail-to-migrate THP in the second loop, since we already
regarded the THP as migration failure, and save some migration time (for
the worst case, will try 512 * 10 times) according to previous discussion

When page migration happens, we always ignore the young/dirty bit settings
in the old pgtable, and marking the page as old in the new page table
using either pte_mkold() or pmd_mkold(), and keeping the pte clean.
That's fine from functional-wise, but that's not friendly to page reclaim
because the moving page can be actively accessed within the procedure.
Not to mention hardware setting the young bit can bring quite some
overhead on some systems, e.g. x86_64 needs a few hundreds nanoseconds to
set the bit. The same slowdown problem to dirty bits when the memory is
first written after page migration happened.
Actually we can easily remember the A/D bit configuration and recover the
information after the page is migrated. To achieve it, define a new set
of bits in the migration swap offset field to cache the A/D bits for old
pte. Then when removing/recovering the migration entry, we can recover
the A/D bits even if the page changed.
One thing to mention is that here we used max_swapfile_size() to detect
how many swp offset bits we have, and we'll only enable this feature if we
know the swp offset is big enough to store both the PFN value and the A/D
bits. Otherwise the A/D bits are dropped like before.

Patch series "memory tiering: hot page selection", v4.
To optimize page placement in a memory tiering system with NUMA balancing,
the hot pages in the slow memory nodes need to be identified.
Essentially, the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly
recently accessed (MRU) pages to promote. But this isn't a perfect
algorithm to identify the hot pages. Because the pages with quite low
access frequency may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page
table scanning period could be quite long (e.g. 60 seconds). So in this
patchset, we implement a new hot page identification algorithm based on
the latency between NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page
fault. Which is a kind of mostly frequently accessed (MFU) algorithm.
In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow
memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote
hot/cold pages between the fast and cold memory nodes.
A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and
memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will
hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow
memory bandwidth contention.
A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting
throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But
the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patchset
as the page promotion rate limit mechanism.
The promotion hot threshold is workload and system configuration
dependent. So in this patchset, a method to adjust the hot threshold
automatically is implemented. The basic idea is to control the number of
the candidate promotion pages to match the promotion rate limit.
We used the pmbench memory accessing benchmark tested the patchset on a
2-socket server system with DRAM and PMEM installed. The test results are
as follows,
pmbench score promote rate
(accesses/s) MB/s
------------- ------------
base 146887704.1 725.6
hot selection 165695601.2 544.0
rate limit 162814569.8 165.2
auto adjustment 170495294.0 136.9
From the results above,
With hot page selection patch [1/3], the pmbench score increases about
12.8%, and promote rate (overhead) decreases about 25.0%, compared with
base kernel.
With rate limit patch [2/3], pmbench score decreases about 1.7%, and
promote rate decreases about 69.6%, compared with hot page selection
patch.
With threshold auto adjustment patch [3/3], pmbench score increases about
4.7%, and promote rate decrease about 17.1%, compared with rate limit
patch.
Baolin helped to test the patchset with MySQL on a machine which contains
1 DRAM node (30G) and 1 PMEM node (126G).
sysbench /usr/share/sysbench/oltp_read_write.lua \
......
--tables=200 \
--table-size=1000000 \
--report-interval=10 \
--threads=16 \
--time=120
The tps can be improved about 5%.
This patch (of 3):
To optimize page placement in a memory tiering system with NUMA balancing,
the hot pages in the slow memory node need to be identified. Essentially,
the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly recently
accessed (MRU) pages to promote. But this isn't a perfect algorithm to
identify the hot pages. Because the pages with quite low access frequency
may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page table scanning
period could be quite long (e.g. 60 seconds). The most frequently
accessed (MFU) algorithm is better.
So, in this patch we implemented a better hot page selection algorithm.
Which is based on NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page fault
as follows,
- When the page tables of the processes are scanned to change PTE/PMD
to be PROT_NONE, the current time is recorded in struct page as scan
time.
- When the page is accessed, hint page fault will occur. The scan
time is gotten from the struct page. And The hint page fault
latency is defined as
hint page fault time - scan time
The shorter the hint page fault latency of a page is, the higher the
probability of their access frequency to be higher. So the hint page
fault latency is a better estimation of the page hot/cold.
It's hard to find some extra space in struct page to hold the scan time.
Fortunately, we can reuse some bits used by the original NUMA balancing.
NUMA balancing uses some bits in struct page to store the page accessing
CPU and PID (referring to page_cpupid_xchg_last()). Which is used by the
multi-stage node selection algorithm to avoid to migrate pages shared
accessed by the NUMA nodes back and forth. But for pages in the slow
memory node, even if they are shared accessed by multiple NUMA nodes, as
long as the pages are hot, they need to be promoted to the fast memory
node. So the accessing CPU and PID information are unnecessary for the
slow memory pages. We can reuse these bits in struct page to record the
scan time. For the fast memory pages, these bits are used as before.
For the hot threshold, the default value is 1 second, which works well in
our performance test. All pages with hint page fault latency < hot
threshold will be considered hot.
It's hard for users to determine the hot threshold. So we don't provide a
kernel ABI to set it, just provide a debugfs interface for advanced users
to experiment. We will continue to work on a hot threshold automatic
adjustment mechanism.
The downside of the above method is that the response time to the workload
hot spot changing may be much longer. For example,
- A previous cold memory area becomes hot
- The hint page fault will be triggered. But the hint page fault
latency isn't shorter than the hot threshold. So the pages will
not be promoted.
- When the memory area is scanned again, maybe after a scan period,
the hint page fault latency measured will be shorter than the hot
threshold and the pages will be promoted.
To mitigate this, if there are enough free space in the fast memory node,
the hot threshold will not be used, all pages will be promoted upon the
hint page fault for fast response.
Thanks Zhong Jiang reported and tested the fix for a bug when disabling
memory tiering mode dynamically.

Not all huge page APIs support FOLL_GET option, so move_pages() syscall
will fail to get the page node information for some huge pages.
Like x86 on linux 5.19 with 1GB huge page API follow_huge_pud(), it will
return NULL page for FOLL_GET when calling move_pages() syscall with the
NULL 'nodes' parameter, the 'status' parameter has '-2' error in array.
Note: follow_huge_pud() now supports FOLL_GET in linux 6.0.
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220714042420.1847125-3-naoya.horiguchi@linux.dev
But these huge page APIs don't support FOLL_GET:
1. follow_huge_pud() in arch/s390/mm/hugetlbpage.c
2. follow_huge_addr() in arch/ia64/mm/hugetlbpage.c
It will cause WARN_ON_ONCE for FOLL_GET.
3. follow_huge_pgd() in mm/hugetlb.c
This is an temporary solution to mitigate the side effect of the race
condition fix by calling follow_page() with FOLL_GET set for huge pages.
After supporting follow huge page by FOLL_GET is done, this fix can be
reverted safely.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"Most of the MM queue. A few things are still pending.
Liam's maple tree rework didn't make it. This has resulted in a few
other minor patch series being held over for next time.
Multi-gen LRU still isn't merged as we were waiting for mapletree to
stabilize. The current plan is to merge MGLRU into -mm soon and to
later reintroduce mapletree, with a view to hopefully getting both
into 6.1-rc1.

There is nothing iomap-specific about iomap_migratepage(), and it fits
a pattern used by several other filesystems, so move it to mm/migrate.c,
convert it to be filemap_migrate_folio() and convert the iomap filesystems
to use it.

These drivers are rather uncomfortably hammered into the
address_space_operations hole. They aren't filesystems and don't behave
like filesystems. They just need their own movable_operations structure,
which we can point to directly from page->mapping.

With DEVICE_COHERENT, we'll soon have vm_normal_pages() return
device-managed anonymous pages that are not LRU pages. Although they
behave like normal pages for purposes of mapping in CPU page, and for COW.
They do not support LRU lists, NUMA migration or THP.
Callers to follow_page() currently don't expect ZONE_DEVICE pages,
however, with DEVICE_COHERENT we might now return ZONE_DEVICE. Check for
ZONE_DEVICE pages in applicable users of follow_page() as well.

We might fail to isolate huge page due to e.g. the page is under
migration which cleared HPageMigratable. We should return errno in this
case rather than always return 1 which could confuse the user, i.e. the
caller might think all of the memory is migrated while the hugetlb page is
left behind. We make the prototype of isolate_huge_page consistent with
isolate_lru_page as suggested by Huang Ying and rename isolate_huge_page
to isolate_hugetlb as suggested by Muchun to improve the readability.
