Since commit 59dc76b0d4df ("mm: vmscan: reduce size of inactive file
list") we noticed bigger IO spikes during changes in cache access
patterns.
The patch in question shrunk the inactive list size to leave more room
for the current workingset in the presence of streaming IO. However,
workingset transitions that previously happened on the inactive list are
now pushed out of memory and incur more refaults to complete.
This patch disables active list protection when refaults are being
observed. This accelerates workingset transitions, and allows more of
the new set to establish itself from memory, without eating into the
ability to protect the established workingset during stable periods.
The workloads that were measurably affected for us were hit pretty bad
by it, with refault/majfault rates doubling and tripling during cache
transitions, and the machines sustaining half-hour periods of 100% IO
utilization, where they'd previously have sub-minute peaks at 60-90%.
Stateful services that handle user data tend to be more conservative
with kernel upgrades. As a result we hit most page cache issues with
some delay, as was the case here.
The severity seemed to warrant a stable tag.

On SPARSEMEM systems page poisoning is enabled after buddy is up,
because of the dependency on page extension init. This causes the pages
released by free_all_bootmem not to be poisoned. This either delays or
misses the identification of some issues because the pages have to
undergo another cycle of alloc-free-alloc for any corruption to be
detected.
Enable page poisoning early by getting rid of the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_POISON
flag. Since all the free pages will now be poisoned, the flag need not
be verified before checking the poison during an alloc.

rmap_one's return value controls whether rmap_work should contine to
scan other ptes or not so it's target for changing to boolean. Return
true if the scan should be continued. Otherwise, return false to stop
the scanning.

ttu doesn't need to return SWAP_MLOCK. Instead, just return SWAP_FAIL
because it means the page is not-swappable so it should move to another
LRU list(active or unevictable). putback friends will move it to right
list depending on the page's LRU flag.

try_to_munlock returns SWAP_MLOCK if the one of VMAs mapped the page has
VM_LOCKED flag. In that time, VM set PG_mlocked to the page if the page
is not pte-mapped THP which cannot be mlocked, either.
With that, __munlock_isolated_page can use PageMlocked to check whether
try_to_munlock is successful or not without relying on try_to_munlock's
retval. It helps to make try_to_unmap/try_to_unmap_one simple with
upcoming patches.

If we found lazyfree page is dirty, try_to_unmap_one can just
SetPageSwapBakced in there like PG_mlocked page and just return with
SWAP_FAIL which is very natural because the page is not swappable right
now so that vmscan can activate it. There is no point to introduce new
return value SWAP_DIRTY in try_to_unmap at the moment.

now that we have memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} api we can mark the whole
transaction context as implicitly GFP_NOFS. All allocations will
automatically inherit GFP_NOFS this way. This means that we do not have
to mark any of those requests with GFP_NOFS and moreover all the
ext4_kv[mz]alloc(GFP_NOFS) are also safe now because even the hardcoded
GFP_KERNEL allocations deep inside the vmalloc will be NOFS now.

GFP_NOFS context is used for the following 5 reasons currently:
- to prevent from deadlocks when the lock held by the allocation
context would be needed during the memory reclaim
- to prevent from stack overflows during the reclaim because the
allocation is performed from a deep context already
- to prevent lockups when the allocation context depends on other
reclaimers to make a forward progress indirectly
- just in case because this would be safe from the fs POV
- silence lockdep false positives
Unfortunately overuse of this allocation context brings some problems to
the MM. Memory reclaim is much weaker (especially during heavy FS
metadata workloads), OOM killer cannot be invoked because the MM layer
doesn't have enough information about how much memory is freeable by the
FS layer.
In many cases it is far from clear why the weaker context is even used
and so it might be used unnecessarily. We would like to get rid of
those as much as possible. One way to do that is to use the flag in
scopes rather than isolated cases. Such a scope is declared when really
necessary, tracked per task and all the allocation requests from within
the context will simply inherit the GFP_NOFS semantic.
Not only this is easier to understand and maintain because there are
much less problematic contexts than specific allocation requests, this
also helps code paths where FS layer interacts with other layers (e.g.
crypto, security modules, MM etc...) and there is no easy way to convey
the allocation context between the layers.
Introduce memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} API to control the scope of
GFP_NOFS allocation context. This is basically copying
memalloc_noio_{save,restore} API we have for other restricted allocation
context GFP_NOIO. The PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS flag already exists and it is
just an alias for PF_FSTRANS which has been xfs specific until recently.
There are no more PF_FSTRANS users anymore so let's just drop it.
PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS is now checked in the MM layer and drops __GFP_FS
implicitly same as PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO drops __GFP_IO. memalloc_noio_flags
is renamed to current_gfp_context because it now cares about both
PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS and PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO contexts. Xfs code paths preserve
their semantic. kmem_flags_convert() doesn't need to evaluate the flag
anymore.
This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.
Let's hope that filesystems will drop direct GFP_NOFS (resp. ~__GFP_FS)
usage as much as possible and only use a properly documented
memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} checkpoints where they are appropriate.

xfs has defined PF_FSTRANS to declare a scope GFP_NOFS semantic quite
some time ago. We would like to make this concept more generic and use
it for other filesystems as well. Let's start by giving the flag a more
generic name PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS which is in line with an exiting
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO already used for the same purpose for GFP_NOIO
contexts. Replace all PF_FSTRANS usage from the xfs code in the first
step before we introduce a full API for it as xfs uses the flag directly
anyway.
This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

The current implementation of the reclaim lockup detection can lead to
false positives and those even happen and usually lead to tweak the code
to silence the lockdep by using GFP_NOFS even though the context can use
__GFP_FS just fine.
See

as an example.

To quote Dave:
"Ignoring whether reflink should be doing anything or not, that's a
"xfs_refcountbt_init_cursor() gets called both outside and inside
transactions" lockdep false positive case. The problem here is lockdep
has seen this allocation from within a transaction, hence a GFP_NOFS
allocation, and now it's seeing it in a GFP_KERNEL context. Also note
that we have an active reference to this inode.
So, because the reclaim annotations overload the interrupt level
detections and it's seen the inode ilock been taken in reclaim
("interrupt") context, this triggers a reclaim context warning where
it thinks it is unsafe to do this allocation in GFP_KERNEL context
holding the inode ilock..."
This sounds like a fundamental problem of the reclaim lock detection.
It is really impossible to annotate such a special usecase IMHO unless
the reclaim lockup detection is reworked completely. Until then it is
much better to provide a way to add "I know what I am doing flag" and
mark problematic places. This would prevent from abusing GFP_NOFS flag
which has a runtime effect even on configurations which have lockdep
disabled.
Introduce __GFP_NOLOCKDEP flag which tells the lockdep gfp tracking to
skip the current allocation request.
While we are at it also make sure that the radix tree doesn't
accidentaly override tags stored in the upper part of the gfp_mask.

When memory pressure is high, we free MADV_FREE pages. If the pages are
not dirty in pte, the pages could be freed immediately. Otherwise we
can't reclaim them. We put the pages back to anonumous LRU list (by
setting SwapBacked flag) and the pages will be reclaimed in normal
swapout way.
We use normal page reclaim policy. Since MADV_FREE pages are put into
inactive file list, such pages and inactive file pages are reclaimed
according to their age. This is expected, because we don't want to
reclaim too many MADV_FREE pages before used once pages.

madv()'s MADV_FREE indicate pages are 'lazyfree'. They are still
anonymous pages, but they can be freed without pageout. To distinguish
these from normal anonymous pages, we clear their SwapBacked flag.
MADV_FREE pages could be freed without pageout, so they pretty much like
used once file pages. For such pages, we'd like to reclaim them once
there is memory pressure. Also it might be unfair reclaiming MADV_FREE
pages always before used once file pages and we definitively want to
reclaim the pages before other anonymous and file pages.
To speed up MADV_FREE pages reclaim, we put the pages into
LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list. The rationale is LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list is tiny
nowadays and should be full of used once file pages. Reclaiming
MADV_FREE pages will not have much interfere of anonymous and active
file pages. And the inactive file pages and MADV_FREE pages will be
reclaimed according to their age, so we don't reclaim too many MADV_FREE
pages too. Putting the MADV_FREE pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE_LIST also
means we can reclaim the pages without swap support. This idea is
suggested by Johannes.
This patch doesn't move MADV_FREE pages to LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list yet to
avoid bisect failure, next patch will do it.
The patch is based on Minchan's original patch.

Patch series "mm: fix some MADV_FREE issues", v5.
We are trying to use MADV_FREE in jemalloc. Several issues are found.
Without solving the issues, jemalloc can't use the MADV_FREE feature.
- Doesn't support system without swap enabled. Because if swap is off,
we can't or can't efficiently age anonymous pages. And since
MADV_FREE pages are mixed with other anonymous pages, we can't
reclaim MADV_FREE pages. In current implementation, MADV_FREE will
fallback to MADV_DONTNEED without swap enabled. But in our
environment, a lot of machines don't enable swap. This will prevent
our setup using MADV_FREE.
- Increases memory pressure. page reclaim bias file pages reclaim
against anonymous pages. This doesn't make sense for MADV_FREE pages,
because those pages could be freed easily and refilled with very
slight penality. Even page reclaim doesn't bias file pages, there is
still an issue, because MADV_FREE pages and other anonymous pages are
mixed together. To reclaim a MADV_FREE page, we probably must scan a
lot of other anonymous pages, which is inefficient. In our test, we
usually see oom with MADV_FREE enabled and nothing without it.
- Accounting. There are two accounting problems. We don't have a global
accounting. If the system is abnormal, we don't know if it's a
problem from MADV_FREE side. The other problem is RSS accounting.
MADV_FREE pages are accounted as normal anon pages and reclaimed
lazily, so application's RSS becomes bigger. This confuses our
workloads. We have monitoring daemon running and if it finds
applications' RSS becomes abnormal, the daemon will kill the
applications even kernel can reclaim the memory easily.
To address the first the two issues, we can either put MADV_FREE pages
into a separate LRU list (Minchan's previous patches and V1 patches), or
put them into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list (suggested by Johannes). The
patchset use the second idea. The reason is LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list is
tiny nowadays and should be full of used once file pages. So we can
still efficiently reclaim MADV_FREE pages there without interference
with other anon and active file pages. Putting the pages into inactive
file list also has an advantage which allows page reclaim to prioritize
MADV_FREE pages and used once file pages. MADV_FREE pages are put into
the lru list and clear SwapBacked flag, so PageAnon(page) &&
!PageSwapBacked(page) will indicate a MADV_FREE pages. These pages will
directly freed without pageout if they are clean, otherwise normal swap
will reclaim them.
For the third issue, the previous post adds global accounting and a
separate RSS count for MADV_FREE pages. The problem is we never get
accurate accounting for MADV_FREE pages. The pages are mapped to
userspace, can be dirtied without notice from kernel side. To get
accurate accounting, we could write protect the page, but then there is
extra page fault overhead, which people don't want to pay. Jemalloc
guys have concerns about the inaccurate accounting, so this post drops
the accounting patches temporarily. The info exported to
/proc/pid/smaps for MADV_FREE pages are kept, which is the only place we
can get accurate accounting right now.
This patch (of 6):
Johannes pointed out TTU_LZFREE is unnecessary. It's true because we
always have the flag set if we want to do an unmap. For cases we don't
do an unmap, the TTU_LZFREE part of code should never run.
Also the TTU_UNMAP is unnecessary. If no other flags set (for example,
TTU_MIGRATION), an unmap is implied.
The patch includes Johannes's cleanup and dead TTU_ACTION macro removal

NR_PAGES_SCANNED counts number of pages scanned since the last page free
event in the allocator. This was used primarily to measure the
reclaimability of zones and nodes, and determine when reclaim should
give up on them. In that role, it has been replaced in the preceding
patches by a different mechanism.
Being implemented as an efficient vmstat counter, it was automatically
exported to userspace as well. It's however unlikely that anyone
outside the kernel is using this counter in any meaningful way.
Remove the counter and the unused pgdat_reclaimable().

Patch series "mm: kswapd spinning on unreclaimable nodes - fixes and
cleanups".
Jia reported a scenario in which the kswapd of a node indefinitely spins
at 100% CPU usage. We have seen similar cases at Facebook.
The kernel's current method of judging its ability to reclaim a node (or
whether to back off and sleep) is based on the amount of scanned pages
in proportion to the amount of reclaimable pages. In Jia's and our
scenarios, there are no reclaimable pages in the node, however, and the
condition for backing off is never met. Kswapd busyloops in an attempt
to restore the watermarks while having nothing to work with.
This series reworks the definition of an unreclaimable node based not on
scanning but on whether kswapd is able to actually reclaim pages in
MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (16) consecutive runs. This is the same criteria
the page allocator uses for giving up on direct reclaim and invoking the
OOM killer. If it cannot free any pages, kswapd will go to sleep and
leave further attempts to direct reclaim invocations, which will either
make progress and re-enable kswapd, or invoke the OOM killer.
Patch #1 fixes the immediate problem Jia reported, the remainder are
smaller fixlets, cleanups, and overall phasing out of the old method.
Patch #6 is the odd one out. It's a nice cleanup to get_scan_count(),
and directly related to #5, but in itself not relevant to the series.
If the whole series is too ambitious for 4.11, I would consider the
first three patches fixes, the rest cleanups.
This patch (of 9):
Jia He reports a problem with kswapd spinning at 100% CPU when
requesting more hugepages than memory available in the system:
$ echo 4000 >/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
top - 13:42:59 up 3:37, 1 user, load average: 1.09, 1.03, 1.01
Tasks: 1 total, 1 running, 0 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
%Cpu(s): 0.0 us, 12.5 sy, 0.0 ni, 85.5 id, 2.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st
KiB Mem: 31371520 total, 30915136 used, 456384 free, 320 buffers
KiB Swap: 6284224 total, 115712 used, 6168512 free. 48192 cached Mem
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
76 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 100.0 0.000 217:17.29 kswapd3
At that time, there are no reclaimable pages left in the node, but as
kswapd fails to restore the high watermarks it refuses to go to sleep.
Kswapd needs to back away from nodes that fail to balance. Up until
commit 1d82de618ddd ("mm, vmscan: make kswapd reclaim in terms of
nodes") kswapd had such a mechanism. It considered zones whose
theoretically reclaimable pages it had reclaimed six times over as
unreclaimable and backed away from them. This guard was erroneously
removed as the patch changed the definition of a balanced node.
However, simply restoring this code wouldn't help in the case reported
here: there *are* no reclaimable pages that could be scanned until the
threshold is met. Kswapd would stay awake anyway.
Introduce a new and much simpler way of backing off. If kswapd runs
through MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (16) cycles without reclaiming a single
page, make it back off from the node. This is the same number of shots
direct reclaim takes before declaring OOM. Kswapd will go to sleep on
that node until a direct reclaimer manages to reclaim some pages, thus
proving the node reclaimable again.

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
"Fourteen audit patches for v4.12 that span the full range of fixes,
new features, and internal cleanups.
We have a patches to move to 64-bit timestamps, convert refcounts from
atomic_t to refcount_t, track PIDs using the pid struct instead of
pid_t, convert our own private audit buffer cache to a standard
kmem_cache, log kernel module names when they are unloaded, and
normalize the NETFILTER_PKT to make the userspace folks happier.
From a fixes perspective, the most important is likely the auditd
connection tracking RCU fix; it was a rather brain dead bug that I'll
take the blame for, but thankfully it didn't seem to affect many
people (only one report).
I think the patch subject lines and commit descriptions do a pretty
good job of explaining the details and why the changes are important
so I'll point you there instead of duplicating it here; as usual, if
you have any questions you know where to find us.
We also manage to take out more code than we put in this time, that

Pull livepatch updates from Jiri Kosina:
- a per-task consistency model is being added for architectures that
support reliable stack dumping (extending this, currently rather
trivial set, is currently in the works).
This extends the nature of the types of patches that can be applied
by live patching infrastructure. The code stems from the design
proposal made [1] back in November 2014. It's a hybrid of SUSE's
kGraft and RH's kpatch, combining advantages of both: it uses
kGraft's per-task consistency and syscall barrier switching combined
with kpatch's stack trace switching. There are also a number of
fallback options which make it quite flexible.
Most of the heavy lifting done by Josh Poimboeuf with help from
Miroslav Benes and Petr Mladek

"This is the bulk of pin control changes for the v4.12 cycle.
The extra week before the merge window actually resulted in some of
the type of fixes that usually arrive after the merge window already
starting to trickle in from eager developers using -next, I'm
impressed.
I have recruited a Samsung subsubsystem maintainer (Krzysztof) to deal
with the onset of Samsung patches. It works great.
Apart from that it is a boring round, just incremental updates and
fixes all over the place, no serious core changes or anything exciting
like that. The most pleasing to see is Julia Cartwrights work to audit
the irqchip-providing drivers for realtime locking compliance. It's
one of those "I should really get around to looking into that" things
that have been on my TODO list since forever.
Summary:
Core changes:
- add bi-directional and output-enable pin configurations to the
generic bindings and generic pin controlling core.
New drivers or subdrivers:
- Armada 37xx SoC pin controller and GPIO support.
- Axis ARTPEC-6 SoC pin controller support.
- AllWinner A64 R_PIO controller support, and opening up the
AllWinner sunxi driver for ARM64 use.
- Rockchip RK3328 support.
- Renesas R-Car H3 ES2.0 support.
- STM32F469 support in the STM32 driver.
- Aspeed G4 and G5 pin controller support.
Improvements:
- a whole slew of realtime improvements to drivers implementing
irqchips: BCM, AMD, SiRF, sunxi, rockchip.
- switch meson driver to get the GPIO ranges from the device tree.
- input schmitt trigger support on the Rockchip driver.
- enable the sunxi (AllWinner) driver to also be used on ARM64
silicon.
- name the Qualcomm QDF2xxx GPIO lines.
- support GMMR GPIO regions on the Intel Cherryview. This fixes a
serialization problem on these platforms.
- pad retention support for the Samsung Exynos 5433.
- handle suspend-to-ram in the AT91-pio4 driver.
- pin configuration support in the Aspeed driver.
Cleanups:
- the final name of Rockchip RK1108 was RV1108 so rename the driver
and variables to stay consistent"

Jump is now the only one using value action opcode. This is going to
change soon. So introduce helpers to work with this. Convert TC_ACT_JUMP.
This also fixes the TC_ACT_JUMP check, which is incorrectly done as a
bit check, not a value check.
Fixes: e0ee84ded796 ("net sched actions: Complete the JUMPX opcode")

PTP hardware filter configuration performed by the driver for a given
user requested config is not correct for some of the PTP modes.
Following changes are needed for PTP config-filter implementation.
1. NIG_REG_TX_PTP_EN register - Bits 0/1/2 respectively enables
TimeSync/"V1 frame format support"/"V2 frame format support" on
the TX side. Set the associated bits based on the user request.
2. ptp4l application fails to operate in Peer Delay mode. Following
changes are needed to fix this,
a. Driver should enable (set to 0) DA #1-related bits for IPv4,
IPv6 and MAC destination addresses in these registers:
NIG_REG_TX_LLH_PTP_RULE_MASK
NIG_REG_LLH_PTP_RULE_MASK
b. NIG_REG_LLH_PTP_PARAM_MASK/NIG_REG_TX_LLH_PTP_PARAM_MASK should
be set to 0x0 in all modes.

struct timespec is not y2038 safe.
Audit timestamps are recorded in string format into
an audit buffer for a given context.
These mark the entry timestamps for the syscalls.
Use y2038 safe struct timespec64 to represent the times.
The log strings can handle this transition as strings can
hold upto 1024 characters.
