Introduce uffd_stats structure for statistics of the self test, at the
same time refactor the code to always pass in the uffd_stats for either
read() or poll() typed fault handling threads instead of using two
different ways to return the statistic results. No functional change.
With the new structure, it's very easy to introduce new statistics.

Only declare _UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT if the user specified
UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP and if all the checks passed. Then when the user
registers regions with shmem/hugetlbfs we won't expose the new ioctl to

Introduce the new uffd-wp APIs for userspace.
Firstly, we'll allow to do UFFDIO_REGISTER with write protection tracking
using the new UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP flag. Note that this flag can
co-exist with the existing UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MISSING, in which case the
userspace program can not only resolve missing page faults, and at the
same time tracking page data changes along the way.
Secondly, we introduced the new UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT API to do page level
write protection tracking. Note that we will need to register the memory
region with UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP before that.

Don't collapse the huge PMD if there is any userfault write protected
small PTEs. The problem is that the write protection is in small page
granularity and there's no way to keep all these write protection
information if the small pages are going to be merged into a huge PMD.
The same thing needs to be considered for swap entries and migration
entries. So do the check as well disregarding khugepaged_max_ptes_swap.

For either swap and page migration, we all use the bit 2 of the entry to
identify whether this entry is uffd write-protected. It plays a similar
role as the existing soft dirty bit in swap entries but only for keeping
the uffd-wp tracking for a specific PTE/PMD.
Something special here is that when we want to recover the uffd-wp bit
from a swap/migration entry to the PTE bit we'll also need to take care of
the _PAGE_RW bit and make sure it's cleared, otherwise even with the
_PAGE_UFFD_WP bit we can't trap it at all.
In change_pte_range() we do nothing for uffd if the PTE is a swap entry.
That can lead to data mismatch if the page that we are going to write
protect is swapped out when sending the UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT. This patch
also applies/removes the uffd-wp bit even for the swap entries.

Firstly, introduce two new flags MM_CP_UFFD_WP[_RESOLVE] for
change_protection() when used with uffd-wp and make sure the two new flags
are exclusively used. Then,
- For MM_CP_UFFD_WP: apply the _PAGE_UFFD_WP bit and remove _PAGE_RW
when a range of memory is write protected by uffd
- For MM_CP_UFFD_WP_RESOLVE: remove the _PAGE_UFFD_WP bit and recover
_PAGE_RW when write protection is resolved from userspace
And use this new interface in mwriteprotect_range() to replace the old
MM_CP_DIRTY_ACCT.
Do this change for both PTEs and huge PMDs. Then we can start to identify
which PTE/PMD is write protected by general (e.g., COW or soft dirty
tracking), and which is for userfaultfd-wp.
Since we should keep the _PAGE_UFFD_WP when doing pte_modify(), add it
into _PAGE_CHG_MASK as well. Meanwhile, since we have this new bit, we
can be even more strict when detecting uffd-wp page faults in either
do_wp_page() or wp_huge_pmd().
After we're with _PAGE_UFFD_WP, a special case is when a page is both
protected by the general COW logic and also userfault-wp. Here the
userfault-wp will have higher priority and will be handled first. Only
after the uffd-wp bit is cleared on the PTE/PMD will we continue to handle
the general COW. These are the steps on what will happen with such a
page:
1. CPU accesses write protected shared page (so both protected by
general COW and uffd-wp), blocked by uffd-wp first because in
do_wp_page we'll handle uffd-wp first, so it has higher priority
than general COW.
2. Uffd service thread receives the request, do UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT
to remove the uffd-wp bit upon the PTE/PMD. However here we
still keep the write bit cleared. Notify the blocked CPU.
3. The blocked CPU resumes the page fault process with a fault
retry, during retry it'll notice it was not with the uffd-wp bit
this time but it is still write protected by general COW, then
it'll go though the COW path in the fault handler, copy the page,
apply write bit where necessary, and retry again.
4. The CPU will be able to access this page with write bit set.

change_protection() was used by either the NUMA or mprotect() code,
there's one parameter for each of the callers (dirty_accountable and
prot_numa). Further, these parameters are passed along the calls:
- change_protection_range()
- change_p4d_range()
- change_pud_range()
- change_pmd_range()
- ...
Now we introduce a flag for change_protect() and all these helpers to
replace these parameters. Then we can avoid passing multiple parameters
multiple times along the way.
More importantly, it'll greatly simplify the work if we want to introduce
any new parameters to change_protection(). In the follow up patches, a
new parameter for userfaultfd write protection will be introduced.
No functional change at all.

Accurate userfaultfd WP tracking is possible by tracking exactly which
virtual memory ranges were writeprotected by userland. We can't relay
only on the RW bit of the mapped pagetable because that information is
destroyed by fork() or KSM or swap. If we were to relay on that, we'd
need to stay on the safe side and generate false positive wp faults for
every swapped out page.

There are several cases write protection fault happens. It could be a
write to zero page, swaped page or userfault write protected page. When
the fault happens, there is no way to know if userfault write protect the
page before. Here we just blindly issue a userfault notification for vma
with VM_UFFD_WP regardless if app write protects it yet. Application
should be ready to handle such wp fault.
In the swapin case, always swapin as readonly. This will cause false
positive userfaults. We need to decide later if to eliminate them with a
flag like soft-dirty in the swap entry (see _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY).
hugetlbfs wouldn't need to worry about swapouts but and tmpfs would be
handled by a swap entry bit like anonymous memory.
The main problem with no easy solution to eliminate the false positives,
will be if/when userfaultfd is extended to real filesystem pagecache.
When the pagecache is freed by reclaim we can't leave the radix tree
pinned if the inode and in turn the radix tree is reclaimed as well.
The estimation is that full accuracy and lack of false positives could be
easily provided only to anonymous memory (as long as there's no fork or as
long as MADV_DONTFORK is used on the userfaultfd anonymous range) tmpfs
and hugetlbfs, it's most certainly worth to achieve it but in a later
incremental patch.

Patch series "userfaultfd: write protection support", v6.
Overview
========
The uffd-wp work was initialized by Shaohua Li [1], and later continued by
Andrea [2]. This series is based upon Andrea's latest userfaultfd tree,
and it is a continuous works from both Shaohua and Andrea. Many of the
follow up ideas come from Andrea too.
Besides the old MISSING register mode of userfaultfd, the new uffd-wp
support provides another alternative register mode called
UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP that can be used to listen to not only missing
page faults but also write protection page faults, or even they can be
registered together. At the same time, the new feature also provides a
new userfaultfd ioctl called UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT which allows the
userspace to write protect a range or memory or fixup write permission of
faulted pages.
Please refer to the document patch "userfaultfd: wp:
UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP documentation update" for more information on the
new interface and what it can do.
The major workflow of an uffd-wp program should be:
1. Register a memory region with WP mode using UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP
2. Write protect part of the whole registered region using
UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT, passing in UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT_MODE_WP to
show that we want to write protect the range.
3. Start a working thread that modifies the protected pages,
meanwhile listening to UFFD messages.
4. When a write is detected upon the protected range, page fault
happens, a UFFD message will be generated and reported to the
page fault handling thread
5. The page fault handler thread resolves the page fault using the
new UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT ioctl, but this time passing in
!UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT_MODE_WP instead showing that we want to
recover the write permission. Before this operation, the fault
handler thread can do anything it wants, e.g., dumps the page to
a persistent storage.
6. The worker thread will continue running with the correctly
applied write permission from step 5.
Currently there are already two projects that are based on this new
userfaultfd feature.
QEMU Live Snapshot: The project provides a way to allow the QEMU
hypervisor to take snapshot of VMs without
stopping the VM [3].
LLNL umap library: The project provides a mmap-like interface and
"allow to have an application specific buffer of
pages cached from a large file, i.e. out-of-core
execution using memory map" [4][5].
Before posting the patchset, this series was smoke tested against QEMU
live snapshot and the LLNL umap library (by doing parallel quicksort using
128 sorting threads + 80 uffd servicing threads). My sincere thanks to
Marty Mcfadden and Denis Plotnikov for the help along the way.

Commit 71994620bb ("virtio_balloon: replace oom notifier with shrinker")
changed the behavior when deflation happens automatically. Instead of
deflating when called by the OOM handler, the shrinker is used.
However, the balloon is not simply some other slab cache that should be
shrunk when under memory pressure. The shrinker does not have a concept
of priorities yet, so this behavior cannot be configured. Eventually once
that is in place, we might want to switch back after doing proper testing.
There was a report that this results in undesired side effects when
inflating the balloon to shrink the page cache. [1]
"When inflating the balloon against page cache (i.e. no free memory
remains) vmscan.c will both shrink page cache, but also invoke the
shrinkers -- including the balloon's shrinker. So the balloon
driver allocates memory which requires reclaim, vmscan gets this
memory by shrinking the balloon, and then the driver adds the
memory back to the balloon. Basically a busy no-op."
The name "deflate on OOM" makes it pretty clear when deflation should
happen - after other approaches to reclaim memory failed, not while
reclaiming. This allows to minimize the footprint of a guest - memory
will only be taken out of the balloon when really needed.
Keep using the shrinker for VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_HINT, because
this has no such side effects. Always register the shrinker with
VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_HINT now. We are always allowed to reuse free
pages that are still to be processed by the guest. The hypervisor takes
care of identifying and resolving possible races between processing a
hinting request and the guest reusing a page.
In contrast to pre commit 71994620bb ("virtio_balloon: replace oom
notifier with shrinker"), don't add a module parameter to configure the
number of pages to deflate on OOM. Can be re-added if really needed.
Also, pay attention that leak_balloon() returns the number of 4k pages -
convert it properly in virtio_balloon_oom_notify().
Testing done by Tyler for future reference:
Test setup: VM with 16 CPU, 64GB RAM. Running Debian 10. We have a 42
GB file full of random bytes that we continually cat to /dev/null.
This fills the page cache as the file is read. Meanwhile, we trigger
the balloon to inflate, with a target size of 53 GB. This setup causes
the balloon inflation to pressure the page cache as the page cache is
also trying to grow. Afterwards we shrink the balloon back to zero (so
total deflate == total inflate).
Without this patch (kernel 4.19.0-5):
Inflation never reaches the target until we stop the "cat file >
/dev/null" process. Total inflation time was 542 seconds. The longest
period that made no net forward progress was 315 seconds.
Result of "grep balloon /proc/vmstat" after the test:
balloon_inflate 154828377
balloon_deflate 154828377
With this patch (kernel 5.6.0-rc4+):
Total inflation duration was 63 seconds. No deflate-queue activity
occurs when pressuring the page-cache.
Result of "grep balloon /proc/vmstat" after the test:
balloon_inflate 12968539
balloon_deflate 12968539
Conclusion: This patch fixes the issue. In the test it reduced
inflate/deflate activity by 12x, and reduced inflation time by 8.6x.
But more importantly, if we hadn't killed the "cat file > /dev/null"
process then, without the patch, the inflation process would never reach
the target.

In order to keep ourselves from reporting pages that are just going to be
reused again in the case of heavy churn we can put a limit on how many
total pages we will process per pass. Doing this will allow the worker
thread to go into idle much more quickly so that we avoid competing with
other threads that might be allocating or freeing pages.
The logic added here will limit the worker thread to no more than one
sixteenth of the total free pages in a given area per list. Once that
limit is reached it will update the state so that at the end of the pass
we will reschedule the worker to try again in 2 seconds when the memory
churn has hopefully settled down.
Again this optimization doesn't show much of a benefit in the standard
case as the memory churn is minmal. However with page allocator shuffling
enabled the gain is quite noticeable. Below are the results with a THP
enabled version of the will-it-scale page_fault1 test showing the
improvement in iterations for 16 processes or threads.

Rather than walking over the same pages again and again to get to the
pages that have yet to be reported we can save ourselves a significant
amount of time by simply rotating the list so that when we have a full
list of reported pages the head of the list is pointing to the next
non-reported page. Doing this should save us some significant time when
processing each free list.
This doesn't gain us much in the standard case as all of the non-reported
pages should be near the top of the list already. However in the case of
page shuffling this results in a noticeable improvement. Below are the

Add support for the page reporting feature provided by virtio-balloon.
Reporting differs from the regular balloon functionality in that is is
much less durable than a standard memory balloon. Instead of creating a
list of pages that cannot be accessed the pages are only inaccessible
while they are being indicated to the virtio interface. Once the
interface has acknowledged them they are placed back into their respective
free lists and are once again accessible by the guest system.
Unlike a standard balloon we don't inflate and deflate the pages. Instead
we perform the reporting, and once the reporting is completed it is
assumed that the page has been dropped from the guest and will be faulted
back in the next time the page is accessed.

Currently the page poisoning setting wasn't being enabled unless free page
hinting was enabled. However we will need the page poisoning tracking
logic as well for free page reporting. As such pull it out and make it a
separate bit of config in the probe function.
In addition we need to add support for the more recent init_on_free
feature which expects a behavior similar to page poisoning in that we
expect the page to be pre-zeroed.

In order to pave the way for free page reporting in virtualized
environments we will need a way to get pages out of the free lists and
identify those pages after they have been returned. To accomplish this,
this patch adds the concept of a Reported Buddy, which is essentially
meant to just be the Uptodate flag used in conjunction with the Buddy page
type.
To prevent the reported pages from leaking outside of the buddy lists I
added a check to clear the PageReported bit in the del_page_from_free_list
function. As a result any reported page that is split, merged, or
allocated will have the flag cleared prior to the PageBuddy value being
cleared.
The process for reporting pages is fairly simple. Once we free a page
that meets the minimum order for page reporting we will schedule a worker
thread to start 2s or more in the future. That worker thread will begin
working from the lowest supported page reporting order up to MAX_ORDER - 1
pulling unreported pages from the free list and storing them in the
scatterlist.
When processing each individual free list it is necessary for the worker
thread to release the zone lock when it needs to stop and report the full
scatterlist of pages. To reduce the work of the next iteration the worker
thread will rotate the free list so that the first unreported page in the
free list becomes the first entry in the list.
It will then call a reporting function providing information on how many
entries are in the scatterlist. Once the function completes it will
return the pages to the free area from which they were allocated and start
over pulling more pages from the free areas until there are no longer
enough pages to report on to keep the worker busy, or we have processed as
many pages as were contained in the free area when we started processing
the list.
The worker thread will work in a round-robin fashion making its way though
each zone requesting reporting, and through each reportable free list
within that zone. Once all free areas within the zone have been processed
it will check to see if there have been any requests for reporting while
it was processing. If so it will reschedule the worker thread to start up
again in roughly 2s and exit.

There are cases where we would benefit from avoiding having to go through
the allocation and free cycle to return an isolated page.
Examples for this might include page poisoning in which we isolate a page
and then put it back in the free list without ever having actually
allocated it.
This will enable us to also avoid notifiers for the future free page
reporting which will need to avoid retriggering page reporting when
returning pages that have been reported on.

In order to enable the use of the zone from the list manipulator functions
I will need access to the zone pointer. As it turns out most of the
accessors were always just being directly passed &zone->free_area[order]
anyway so it would make sense to just fold that into the function itself
and pass the zone and order as arguments instead of the free area.
In order to be able to reference the zone we need to move the declaration
of the functions down so that we have the zone defined before we define
the list manipulation functions. Since the functions are only used in the
file mm/page_alloc.c we can just move them there to reduce noise in the
header.

Patch series "mm / virtio: Provide support for free page reporting", v17.
This series provides an asynchronous means of reporting free guest pages
to a hypervisor so that the memory associated with those pages can be
dropped and reused by other processes and/or guests on the host. Using
this it is possible to avoid unnecessary I/O to disk and greatly improve
performance in the case of memory overcommit on the host.
When enabled we will be performing a scan of free memory every 2 seconds
while pages of sufficiently high order are being freed. In each pass at
least one sixteenth of each free list will be reported. By doing this we
avoid racing against other threads that may be causing a high amount of
memory churn.
The lowest page order currently scanned when reporting pages is
pageblock_order so that this feature will not interfere with the use of
Transparent Huge Pages in the case of virtualization.
Currently this is only in use by virtio-balloon however there is the hope
that at some point in the future other hypervisors might be able to make
use of it. In the virtio-balloon/QEMU implementation the hypervisor is
currently using MADV_DONTNEED to indicate to the host kernel that the page
is currently free. It will be zeroed and faulted back into the guest the
next time the page is accessed.
To track if a page is reported or not the Uptodate flag was repurposed and
used as a Reported flag for Buddy pages. We walk though the free list
isolating pages and adding them to the scatterlist until we either
encounter the end of the list or have processed at least one sixteenth of
the pages that were listed in nr_free prior to us starting. If we fill
the scatterlist before we reach the end of the list we rotate the list so
that the first unreported page we encounter is moved to the head of the
list as that is where we will resume after we have freed the reported
pages back into the tail of the list.
Below are the results from various benchmarks. I primarily focused on two
tests. The first is the will-it-scale/page_fault2 test, and the other is
a modified version of will-it-scale/page_fault1 that was enabled to use
THP. I did this as it allows for better visibility into different parts
of the memory subsystem. The guest is running with 32G for RAM on one
node of a E5-2630 v3. The host has had some features such as CPU turbo
disabled in the BIOS.

The results above are for a baseline with a linux-next-20191219 kernel,
that kernel with this patch set applied but page reporting disabled in
virtio-balloon, the patches applied and page reporting fully enabled, the
patches enabled with page shuffling enabled, and the patches applied with
page shuffling enabled and an RFC patch that makes used of MADV_FREE in
QEMU. These results include the deviation seen between the average value
reported here versus the high and/or low value. I observed that during
the test memory usage for the first three tests never dropped whereas with
the patches fully enabled the VM would drop to using only a few GB of the
host's memory when switching from memhog to page fault tests.
Any of the overhead visible with this patch set enabled seems due to page
faults caused by accessing the reported pages and the host zeroing the
page before giving it back to the guest. This overhead is much more
visible when using THP than with standard 4K pages. In addition page
shuffling seemed to increase the amount of faults generated due to an
increase in memory churn. The overehad is reduced when using MADV_FREE as
we can avoid the extra zeroing of the pages when they are reintroduced to
the host, as can be seen when the RFC is applied with shuffling enabled.
The overall guest size is kept fairly small to only a few GB while the
test is running. If the host memory were oversubscribed this patch set
should result in a performance improvement as swapping memory in the host
can be avoided.
A brief history on the background of free page reporting can be found at:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/29f43d5796feed0dec8e8bb98b187d9dac03b900.camel@linux.intel.com/
This patch (of 9):
Move the head/tail adding logic out of the shuffle code and into the
__free_one_page function since ultimately that is where it is really
needed anyway. By doing this we should be able to reduce the overhead and
can consolidate all of the list addition bits in one spot.

The thp_fault_fallback and thp_file_fallback vmstats are incremented if
either the hugepage allocation fails through the page allocator or the
hugepage charge fails through mem cgroup.
This patch leaves this field untouched but adds two new fields,
thp_{fault,file}_fallback_charge, which is incremented only when the mem
cgroup charge fails.
This distinguishes between attempted hugepage allocations that fail due to
fragmentation (or low memory conditions) and those that fail due to mem
cgroup limits. That can be used to determine the impact of fragmentation
on the system by excluding faults that failed due to memcg usage.

Currently the migration code doesn't migrate PG_readahead flag.
Theoretically this would incur slight performance loss as the application
might have to ramp its readahead back up again. Even though such problem
happens, it might be hidden by something else since migration is typically
triggered by compaction and NUMA balancing, any of which should be more
noticeable.
Migrate the flag after end_page_writeback() since it may clear PG_reclaim
flag, which is the same bit as PG_readahead, for the new page.

It can currently happen that we store the status of a page twice:
* Once we detect that it is already on the target node
* Once we moved a bunch of pages, and a page that's already on the
target node is contained in the current interval.
Let's simplify the code and always call do_move_pages_to_node() in case we
did not queue a page for migration. Note that pages that are already on
the target node are not added to the pagelist and are, therefore, ignored
by do_move_pages_to_node() - there is no functional change.
The status of such a page is now only stored once.

This reverts commit 4e4a9eb921 ("mm/rmap.c: reuse mergeable
anon_vma as parent when fork").
In dup_mmap(), anon_vma_fork() is called for attaching anon_vma and
parameter 'tmp' (i.e., the new vma of child) has same ->vm_next and
->vm_prev as its parent vma. That causes the anon_vma used by parent been
mistakenly shared by child (In anon_vma_clone(), the code added by that
commit will do this reuse work).
Besides this issue, the design of reusing anon_vma from vma which has gone
through fork should be avoided ([1]). So, this patch reverts that commit
and maintains the consistent logic of reusing anon_vma for
fork/split/merge vma.
Reusing anon_vma within the process is fine. But if a vma has gone
through fork(), then that vma's anon_vma should not be shared with its
neighbor vma. As explained in [1], when vma gone through fork(), the
check for list_is_singular(vma->anon_vma_chain) will be false, and
don't share anon_vma.
With current issue, one example can clarify more. Parent process do
below two steps:
1. p_vma_1 is created and p_anon_vma_1 is prepared;
2. p_vma_2 is created and share p_anon_vma_1; (this is allowed,
becaues p_vma_1 didn't gothrough fork()); parent process do fork():
3. c_vma_1 is dup from p_vma_1, and has its own c_anon_vma_1
prepared; at this point, c_vma_1->anon_vma_chain has two items, one
for p_anon_vma_1 and one for c_anon_vma_1;
4. c_vma_2 is dup from p_vma_2, it is not allowed to share
c_anon_vma_1, because
c_vma_1->anon_vma_chain has two items.
[1] commit d0e9fe1758 ("Simplify and comment on anon_vma re-use for
anon_vma_prepare()") explains the test of "list_is_singular()".

Patch series "mm: Fix misuse of parent anon_vma in dup_mmap path".
This patchset fixes the misuse of parenet anon_vma, which mainly caused by
child vma's vm_next and vm_prev are left same as its parent after
duplicate vma. Finally, code reached parent vma's neighbor by referring
pointer of child vma and executed wrong logic.
The first two patches fix relevant issues, and the third patch sets
vm_next and vm_prev to NULL when duplicate vma to prevent potential misuse
in future.
Effects of the first bug is that causes rmap code to check both parent and
child's page table, although a page couldn't be mapped by both parent and
child, because child vma has WIPEONFORK so all pages mapped by child are
'new' and not relevant to parent.
Effects of the second bug is that the relationship of anon_vma of parent
and child are totallyconvoluted. It would cause 'son', 'grandson', ...,
etc, to share 'parent' anon_vma, which disobey the design rule of reusing
anon_vma (the rule to be followed is that reusing should among vma of same
process, and vma should not gone through fork).
So, both issues should cause unnecessary rmap walking and have unexpected
complexity.
These two issues would not be directly visible, I used debugging code to
check the anon_vma pointers of parent and child when inspecting the
suspicious implementation of issue #2, then find the problem.
This patch (of 3):
In dup_mmap(), anon_vma_prepare() is called for vma has VM_WIPEONFORK, and
parameter 'tmp' (i.e., the new vma of child) has same ->vm_next and
->vm_prev as its parent vma. That allows anon_vma used by parent been
mistakenly shared by child (find_mergeable_anon_vma() will do this reuse
work).
Besides this issue, call anon_vma_prepare() should be avoided because we
don't copy page for this vma. Preparing anon_vma will be handled during
fault.
