This reverts commit d3921cb8be29ce5668c64e23ffdaeec5f8c69399.
Chris Wilson reports that it causes boot problems:
"We have half a dozen or so different machines in CI that are silently
failing to boot, that we believe is bisected to this patch"
and the CI team confirmed that a revert fixed the issues.
The cause is unknown for now, so let's revert it.

A previous commit added resetting KASAN page tags to
kernel_init_free_pages() to avoid false-positives due to accesses to
metadata with the hardware tag-based mode.
That commit did reset page tags before the metadata access, but didn't
restore them after. As the result, KASAN fails to detect bad accesses
to page_alloc allocations on some configurations.
Fix this by recovering the tag after the metadata access.

There could be struct pages that are not backed by actual physical
memory. This can happen when the actual memory bank is not a multiple
of SECTION_SIZE or when an architecture does not register memory holes
reserved by the firmware as memblock.memory.
Such pages are currently initialized using init_unavailable_mem()
function that iterates through PFNs in holes in memblock.memory and if
there is a struct page corresponding to a PFN, the fields if this page
are set to default values and the page is marked as Reserved.
init_unavailable_mem() does not take into account zone and node the page
belongs to and sets both zone and node links in struct page to zero.
On a system that has firmware reserved holes in a zone above ZONE_DMA,
for instance in a configuration below:
# grep -A1 E820 /proc/iomem
7a17b000-7a216fff : Unknown E820 type
7a217000-7bffffff : System RAM
unset zone link in struct page will trigger
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!zone_spans_pfn(page_zone(page), pfn), page);
because there are pages in both ZONE_DMA32 and ZONE_DMA (unset zone link
in struct page) in the same pageblock.
Update init_unavailable_mem() to use zone constraints defined by an
architecture to properly setup the zone link and use node ID of the
adjacent range in memblock.memory to set the node link.

VMware observed a performance regression during memmap init on their
platform, and bisected to commit 73a6e474cb376 ("mm: memmap_init:
iterate over memblock regions rather that check each PFN") causing it.
Before the commit:
[0.033176] Normal zone: 1445888 pages used for memmap
[0.033176] Normal zone: 89391104 pages, LIFO batch:63
[0.035851] ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x448
With commit
[0.026874] Normal zone: 1445888 pages used for memmap
[0.026875] Normal zone: 89391104 pages, LIFO batch:63
[2.028450] ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x448
The root cause is the current memmap defer init doesn't work as expected.
Before, memmap_init_zone() was used to do memmap init of one whole zone,
to initialize all low zones of one numa node, but defer memmap init of
the last zone in that numa node. However, since commit 73a6e474cb376,
function memmap_init() is adapted to iterater over memblock regions
inside one zone, then call memmap_init_zone() to do memmap init for each
region.
E.g, on VMware's system, the memory layout is as below, there are two
memory regions in node 2. The current code will mistakenly initialize the
whole 1st region [mem 0xab00000000-0xfcffffffff], then do memmap defer to
iniatialize only one memmory section on the 2nd region [mem
0x10000000000-0x1033fffffff]. In fact, we only expect to see that there's
only one memory section's memmap initialized. That's why more time is
costed at the time.
[ 0.008842] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x00000000-0x0009ffff]
[ 0.008842] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x00100000-0xbfffffff]
[ 0.008843] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x100000000-0x55ffffffff]
[ 0.008844] ACPI: SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 [mem 0x5600000000-0xaaffffffff]
[ 0.008844] ACPI: SRAT: Node 2 PXM 2 [mem 0xab00000000-0xfcffffffff]
[ 0.008845] ACPI: SRAT: Node 2 PXM 2 [mem 0x10000000000-0x1033fffffff]
Now, let's add a parameter 'zone_end_pfn' to memmap_init_zone() to pass
down the real zone end pfn so that defer_init() can use it to judge
whether defer need be taken in zone wide.

Kernel allocator code accesses metadata for slab objects, that may lie
out-of-bounds of the object itself, or be accessed when an object is
freed. Such accesses trigger tag faults and lead to false-positive
reports with hardware tag-based KASAN.
Software KASAN modes disable instrumentation for allocator code via
KASAN_SANITIZE Makefile macro, and rely on kasan_enable/disable_current()
annotations which are used to ignore KASAN reports.
With hardware tag-based KASAN neither of those options are available, as
it doesn't use compiler instrumetation, no tag faults are ignored, and MTE
is disabled after the first one.
Instead, reset tags when accessing metadata (currently only for SLUB).

free_reserved_area() memsets the pages belonging to a given memory area.
As that memory hasn't been allocated via page_alloc, the KASAN tags that
those pages have are 0x00. As the result the memset might result in a tag
mismatch.
Untag the address to avoid spurious faults.

This patch moves per node lru_lock into lruvec, thus bring a lru_lock for
each of memcg per node. So on a large machine, each of memcg don't have
to suffer from per node pgdat->lru_lock competition. They could go fast
with their self lru_lock.
After move memcg charge before lru inserting, page isolation could
serialize page's memcg, then per memcg lruvec lock is stable and could
replace per node lru lock.
In isolate_migratepages_block(), compact_unlock_should_abort and
lock_page_lruvec_irqsave are open coded to work with compact_control.
Also add a debug func in locking which may give some clues if there are
sth out of hands.
Daniel Jordan's testing show 62% improvement on modified readtwice case on
his 2P * 10 core * 2 HT broadwell box.

Kernel-doc markups should use this format:
identifier - description
Fix some issues on mm files:
1) The definition for get_user_pages_locked() doesn't follow it. Also,
it expects a short descrpition at the header, followed by a long one,
after the parameters. Fix it.
2) Kernel-doc requires that a kernel-doc markup to be immediately below
the function prototype, as otherwise it will rename it. So, move
get_pfnblock_flags_mask() description to the right place.
3) Make invalidate_mapping_pagevec() to also follow the expected
kernel-doc format.
While here, fix a few minor English syntax issues, as suggested

CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO uses the zero pattern instead of 0xAA. It was
introduced by commit 1414c7f4f7d7 ("mm/page_poisoning.c: allow for zero
poisoning"), noting that using zeroes retains the benefit of sanitizing
content of freed pages, with the benefit of not having to zero them again
on alloc, and the downside of making some forms of corruption (stray
writes of NULLs) harder to detect than with the 0xAA pattern. Together
with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY it made possible to sanitize the
contents on free without checking it back on alloc.
These days we have the init_on_free() option to achieve sanitization with
zeroes and to save clearing on alloc (and without checking on alloc).
Arguably if someone does choose to check the poison for corruption on
alloc, the savings of not clearing the page are secondary, and it makes
sense to always use the 0xAA poison pattern. Thus, remove the
CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO option for being redundant.

Commit 11c9c7edae06 ("mm/page_poison.c: replace bool variable with static
key") changed page_poisoning_enabled() to a static key check. However,
the function is not inlined, so each check still involves a function call
with overhead not eliminated when page poisoning is disabled.
Analogically to how debug_pagealloc is handled, this patch converts
page_poisoning_enabled() back to boolean check, and introduces
page_poisoning_enabled_static() for fast paths. Both functions are
inlined.
The function kernel_poison_pages() is also called unconditionally and does
the static key check inside. Remove it from there and put it to callers.
Also split it to two functions kernel_poison_pages() and
kernel_unpoison_pages() instead of the confusing bool parameter.
Also optimize the check that enables page poisoning instead of
debug_pagealloc for architectures without proper debug_pagealloc support.
Move the check to init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() to enable a single
static key instead of having two static branches in
page_poisoning_enabled_static().

init_on_alloc/free parameters
Patch series "cleanup page poisoning", v3.
I have identified a number of issues and opportunities for cleanup with
CONFIG_PAGE_POISON and friends:
- interaction with init_on_alloc and init_on_free parameters depends on
the order of parameters (Patch 1)
- the boot time enabling uses static key, but inefficienty (Patch 2)
- sanity checking is incompatible with hibernation (Patch 3)
- CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY can be removed now that we have
init_on_free (Patch 4)
- CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO can be most likely removed now that we
have init_on_free (Patch 5)
This patch (of 5):
Enabling page_poison=1 together with init_on_alloc=1 or init_on_free=1
produces a warning in dmesg that page_poison takes precedence. However,
as these warnings are printed in early_param handlers for
init_on_alloc/free, they are not printed if page_poison is enabled later
on the command line (handlers are called in the order of their
parameters), or when init_on_alloc/free is always enabled by the
respective config option - before the page_poison early param handler is
called, it is not considered to be enabled. This is inconsistent.
We can remove the dependency on order by making the init_on_* parameters
only set a boolean variable, and postponing the evaluation after all early
params have been processed. Introduce a new
init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() function for that, and move the related
debug_pagealloc processing there as well.
As a result init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() knows always accurately if
init_on_* and/or page_poison options were enabled. Thus we can also
optimize want_init_on_alloc() and want_init_on_free(). We don't need to
check page_poisoning_enabled() there, we can instead not enable the
init_on_* static keys at all, if page poisoning is enabled. This results
in a simpler and more effective code.

On 2-node NUMA hosts we see bursts of kswapd reclaim and subsequent
pressure spikes and stalls from cache refaults while there is plenty of
free memory in the system.
Usually, kswapd is woken up when all eligible nodes in an allocation are
full. But the code related to watermark boosting can wake kswapd on one
full node while the other one is mostly empty. This may be justified to
fight fragmentation, but is currently unconditionally done whether
watermark boosting is occurring or not.
In our case, many of our workloads' throughput scales with available
memory, and pure utilization is a more tangible concern than trends
around longer-term fragmentation. As a result we generally disable
watermark boosting.
Wake kswapd only woken when watermark boosting is requested.

When we free a page whose order is very close to MAX_ORDER and greater
than pageblock_order, it wastes some CPU cycles to increase max_order to
MAX_ORDER one by one and check the pageblock migratetype of that page
repeatedly especially when MAX_ORDER is much larger than pageblock_order.
We also should not be checking migratetype of buddy when "order ==
MAX_ORDER - 1" as the buddy pfn may be invalid, so adjust the condition.
With the new check, we don't need the max_order check anymore, so we
replace it.
Also adjust max_order initialization so that it's lower by one than
previously, which makes the code hopefully more clear.

setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve() iterates through each zone setting
zone->lowmem_reserve[j] = 0 (where j is the zone's index) then iterates
backwards through all preceding zones, setting
lower_zone->lowmem_reserve[j] = sum(managed pages of higher zones) /
lowmem_reserve_ratio[idx] for each (where idx is the lower zone's index).
If the lower zone has no managed pages or its ratio is 0 then all of its
lowmem_reserve[] entries are effectively zeroed.
As these arrays are only assigned here and all lowmem_reserve[] entries
for index < this zone's index are implicitly assumed to be 0 (as these are
specifically output in show_free_areas() and zoneinfo_show_print() for
example) there is no need to additionally zero index == this zone's index
too. This patch avoids zeroing unnecessarily.
Rather than iterating through zones and setting lowmem_reserve[j] for each
lower zone this patch reverse the process and populates each zone's
lowmem_reserve[] values in ascending order.
This clarifies what is going on especially in the case of zero managed
pages or ratio which is now explicitly shown to clear these values.

In the booting phase if CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is set,
we have following callchain:
start_kernel
...
mm_init
mem_init
memblock_free_all
reset_all_zones_managed_pages
free_low_memory_core_early
...
buffer_init
nr_free_buffer_pages
zone->managed_pages
...
rest_init
kernel_init
kernel_init_freeable
page_alloc_init_late
kthread_run(deferred_init_memmap, NODE_DATA(nid), "pgdatinit%d", nid);
wait_for_completion(&pgdat_init_all_done_comp);
...
files_maxfiles_init
It's clear that buffer_init depends on zone->managed_pages, but it's reset
in reset_all_zones_managed_pages after that pages are readded into
zone->managed_pages, but when buffer_init runs this process is half done
and most of them will finally be added till deferred_init_memmap done. In
large memory couting of nr_free_buffer_pages drifts too much, also
drifting from kernels to kernels on same hardware.
Fix is simple, it delays buffer_init run till deferred_init_memmap all
done.
But as corrected by this patch, max_buffer_heads becomes very large, the
value is roughly as many as 4 times of totalram_pages, formula:
max_buffer_heads = nrpages * (10%) * (PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(struct
buffer_head));
Say in a 64GB memory box we have 16777216 pages, then max_buffer_heads
turns out to be roughly 67,108,864. In common cases, should a buffer_head
be mapped to one page/block(4KB)? So max_buffer_heads never exceeds
totalram_pages. IMO it's likely to make buffer_heads_over_limit bool
value alwasy false, then make codes 'if (buffer_heads_over_limit)' test in
vmscan unnecessary.
So this patch will change the original behavior related to
buffer_heads_over_limit in vmscan since we used a half done value of
zone->managed_pages before, or should we use a smaller factor(<10%) in
previous formula.
akpm: I think this is OK - the max_buffer_heads code is only needed on
highmem machines, to prevent ZONE_NORMAL from being consumed by large
amounts of buffer_heads attached to highmem pagecache. This problem will
not occur on 64-bit machines, so this feature's non-functionality on such
machines is a feature, not a bug.

commit 6471384af2a6 ("mm: security: introduce init_on_alloc=1 and
init_on_free=1 boot options") resulted with init_on_alloc=1 in all pages
leaving the buddy via alloc_pages() and friends to be
initialized/cleared/zeroed on allocation.
However, the same logic is currently not applied to alloc_contig_pages():
allocated pages leaving the buddy aren't cleared with init_on_alloc=1 and
init_on_free=0. Let's also properly clear pages on that allocation path.
To achieve that, let's move clearing into post_alloc_hook(). This will
not only affect alloc_contig_pages() allocations but also any pages used
as migration target in compaction code via compaction_alloc().
While this sounds sub-optimal, it's the very same handling as when
allocating migration targets via alloc_migration_target() - pages will get
properly cleared with init_on_free=1. In case we ever want to optimize
migration in that regard, we should tackle all such migration users - if
we believe migration code can be fully trusted.
With this change, we will see double clearing of pages in some cases. One
example are gigantic pages (either allocated via CMA, or allocated
dynamically via alloc_contig_pages()) - which is the right thing to do
(and to be optimized outside of the buddy in the callers) as discussed in:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201019182853.7467-1-gpiccoli@canonical.com
This change implies that with init_on_alloc=1
- All CMA allocations will be cleared
- Gigantic pages allocated via alloc_contig_pages() will be cleared
- virtio-mem memory to be unplugged will be cleared. While this is
suboptimal, it's similar to memory balloon drivers handling, where
all pages to be inflated will get cleared as well.
- Pages isolated for compaction will be cleared

Memory offlining relies on page isolation to guarantee a forward progress
because pages cannot be reused while they are isolated. But the page
isolation itself doesn't prevent from races while freed pages are stored
on pcp lists and thus can be reused. This can be worked around by
repeated draining of pcplists, as done by commit 968318261221
("mm/memory_hotplug: drain per-cpu pages again during memory offline").
David and Michal would prefer that this race was closed in a way that
callers of page isolation who need stronger guarantees don't need to
repeatedly drain. David suggested disabling pcplists usage completely
during page isolation, instead of repeatedly draining them.
To achieve this without adding special cases in alloc/free fastpath, we
can use the same approach as boot pagesets - when pcp->high is 0, any
pcplist addition will be immediately flushed.
The race can thus be closed by setting pcp->high to 0 and draining
pcplists once, before calling start_isolate_page_range(). The draining
will serialize after processes that already disabled interrupts and read
the old value of pcp->high in free_unref_page_commit(), and processes that
have not yet disabled interrupts, will observe pcp->high == 0 when they
are rescheduled, and skip pcplists. This guarantees no stray pages on
pcplists in zones where isolation happens.
This patch thus adds zone_pcp_disable() and zone_pcp_enable() functions
that page isolation users can call before start_isolate_page_range() and
after unisolating (or offlining) the isolated pages.
Also, drain_all_pages() is optimized to only execute on cpus where
pcplists are not empty. The check can however race with a free to pcplist
that has not yet increased the pcp->count from 0 to 1. Thus make the
drain optionally skip the racy check and drain on all cpus, and use this
option in zone_pcp_disable().
As we have to avoid external updates to high and batch while pcplists are
disabled, we take pcp_batch_high_lock in zone_pcp_disable() and release it
in zone_pcp_enable(). This also synchronizes multiple users of
zone_pcp_disable()/enable().
Currently the only user of this functionality is offline_pages().

Currently, pcplists are drained during set_migratetype_isolate() which
means once per pageblock processed start_isolate_page_range(). This is
somewhat wasteful. Moreover, the callers might need different guarantees,
and the draining is currently prone to races and does not guarantee that
no page from isolated pageblock will end up on the pcplist after the
drain.
Better guarantees are added by later patches and require explicit actions
by page isolation users that need them. Thus it makes sense to move the
current imperfect draining to the callers also as a preparation step.

All per-cpu pagesets for a zone use the same high and batch values, that
are duplicated there just for performance (locality) reasons. This patch
adds the same variables also to struct zone as a shared copy.
This will be useful later for making possible to disable pcplists
temporarily by setting high value to 0, while remembering the values for
restoring them later. But we can also immediately benefit from not
updating pagesets of all possible cpus in case the newly recalculated
values (after sysctl change or memory online/offline) are actually
unchanged from the previous ones.

pageset_update() attempts to update pcplist's high and batch values in a
way that readers don't observe batch > high. It uses smp_wmb() to order
the updates in a way to achieve this. However, without proper pairing
read barriers in readers this guarantee doesn't hold, and there are no
such barriers in e.g. free_unref_page_commit().
Commit 88e8ac11d2ea ("mm, page_alloc: fix core hung in
free_pcppages_bulk()") already showed this is problematic, and solved this
by ultimately only trusing pcp->count of the current cpu with interrupts
disabled.
The update dance with unpaired write barriers thus makes no sense.
Replace them with plain WRITE_ONCE to prevent store tearing, and document
that the values can change asynchronously and should not be trusted for
correctness.
All current readers appear to be OK after 88e8ac11d2ea. Convert them to
READ_ONCE to prevent unnecessary read tearing, but mainly to alert anybody
making future changes to the code that special care is needed.

We can remove this wrapper if we just set these values for all pagesets in

proper values.

We currently call pageset_set_high_and_batch() for each possible cpu,
which repeats the same calculations of high and batch values.
Instead call the function just once per zone, and make it apply the

Patch series "disable pcplists during memory offline", v3.
As per the discussions [1] [2] this is an attempt to implement David's
suggestion that page isolation should disable pcplists to avoid races with
page freeing in progress. This is done without extra checks in fast
paths, as explained in Patch 9. The repeated draining done by [2] is then
no longer needed. Previous version (RFC) is at [3].
The RFC tried to hide pcplists disabling/enabling into page isolation, but
it wasn't completely possible, as memory offline does not unisolation.
Michal suggested an explicit API in [4] so that's the current
implementation and it seems indeed nicer.
Once we accept that page isolation users need to do explicit actions
around it depending on the needed guarantees, we can also IMHO accept that
the current pcplist draining can be also done by the callers, which is
more effective. After all, there are only two users of page isolation.
So patch 6 does effectively the same thing as Pavel proposed in [5], and
patch 7 implement stronger guarantees only for memory offline. If CMA
decides to opt-in to the stronger guarantee, it can be added later.
Patches 1-5 are preparatory cleanups for pcplist disabling.
Patchset was briefly tested in QEMU so that memory online/offline works,
but I haven't done a stress test that would prove the race fixed by [2] is
eliminated.
Note that patch 7 could be avoided if we instead adjusted page freeing in
shown in [6], but I believe the current implementation of disabling
pcplists is not too much complex, so I would prefer this instead of adding
new checks and longer irq-disabled section into page freeing hotpaths.

This patch (of 7):
The updates to pcplists' high and batch values are handled by multiple
functions that make the calculations hard to follow. Consolidate
everything to pageset_set_high_and_batch() and remove pageset_set_batch()
and pageset_set_high() wrappers.
The only special case using one of the removed wrappers was:
build_all_zonelists_init()
setup_pageset()
pageset_set_batch()
which was hardcoding batch as 0, so we can just open-code a call to
pageset_update() with constant parameters instead.
No functional change.

Patch series "arch, mm: improve robustness of direct map manipulation", v7.
During recent discussion about KVM protected memory, David raised a
concern about usage of __kernel_map_pages() outside of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
scope [1].
Indeed, for architectures that define CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP it is
possible that __kernel_map_pages() would fail, but since this function is
void, the failure will go unnoticed.
Moreover, there's lack of consistency of __kernel_map_pages() semantics
across architectures as some guard this function with #ifdef
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, some refuse to update the direct map if page allocation
debugging is disabled at run time and some allow modifying the direct map
regardless of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC settings.
This set straightens this out by restoring dependency of
__kernel_map_pages() on DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and updating the call sites
accordingly.
Since currently the only user of __kernel_map_pages() outside
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is hibernation, it is updated to make direct map accesses
there more explicit.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/2759b4bf-e1e3-d006-7d86-78a40348269d@redhat.com
This patch (of 4):
When CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled, it unmaps pages from the kernel
direct mapping after free_pages(). The pages than need to be mapped back
before they could be used. Theese mapping operations use
__kernel_map_pages() guarded with with debug_pagealloc_enabled().
The only place that calls __kernel_map_pages() without checking whether
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled is the hibernation code that presumes
availability of this function when ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP is set. Still,
on arm64, __kernel_map_pages() will bail out when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is not
enabled but set_direct_map_invalid_noflush() may render some pages not
present in the direct map and hibernation code won't be able to save such
pages.
To make page allocation debugging and hibernation interaction more robust,
the dependency on DEBUG_PAGEALLOC or ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP has to be
made more explicit.
Start with combining the guard condition and the call to
__kernel_map_pages() into debug_pagealloc_map_pages() and
debug_pagealloc_unmap_pages() functions to emphasize that
__kernel_map_pages() should not be called without DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and use
these new functions to map/unmap pages when page allocation debugging is
enabled.

The ia64 implementation of __early_pfn_to_nid() essentially relies on the
same data as the generic implementation.
The correspondence between memory ranges and nodes is set in memblock
during early memory initialization in register_active_ranges() function.
The initialization of sparsemem that requires early_pfn_to_nid() happens
later and it can use the memblock information like the other architectures.

fs_reclaim_acquire/release nicely catch recursion issues when allocating
GFP_KERNEL memory against shrinkers (which gpu drivers tend to use to keep
the excessive caches in check). For mmu notifier recursions we do have
lockdep annotations since 23b68395c7c7 ("mm/mmu_notifiers: add a lockdep
map for invalidate_range_start/end").
But these only fire if a path actually results in some pte invalidation -
for most small allocations that's very rarely the case. The other trouble
is that pte invalidation can happen any time when __GFP_RECLAIM is set.
Which means only really GFP_ATOMIC is a safe choice, GFP_NOIO isn't good
enough to avoid potential mmu notifier recursion.
I was pondering whether we should just do the general annotation, but
there's always the risk for false positives. Plus I'm assuming that the
core fs and io code is a lot better reviewed and tested than random mmu
notifier code in drivers. Hence why I decide to only annotate for that
specific case.
Furthermore even if we'd create a lockdep map for direct reclaim, we'd
still need to explicit pull in the mmu notifier map - there's a lot more
places that do pte invalidation than just direct reclaim, these two
contexts arent the same.
Note that the mmu notifiers needing their own independent lockdep map is
also the reason we can't hold them from fs_reclaim_acquire to
fs_reclaim_release - it would nest with the acquistion in the pte
invalidation code, causing a lockdep splat. And we can't remove the
annotations from pte invalidation and all the other places since they're
called from many other places than page reclaim. Hence we can only do the
equivalent of might_lock, but on the raw lockdep map.
With this we can also remove the lockdep priming added in 66204f1d2d1b
("mm/mmu_notifiers: prime lockdep") since the new annotations are strictly
more powerful.

For many workloads, pagetable consumption is significant and it makes
sense to expose it in the memory.stat for the memory cgroups. However at
the moment, the pagetables are accounted per-zone. Converting them to
per-node and using the right interface will correctly account for the
memory cgroups as well.

PageKmemcg flag is currently defined as a page type (like buddy, offline,
table and guard). Semantically it means that the page was accounted as a
kernel memory by the page allocator and has to be uncharged on the
release.
As a side effect of defining the flag as a page type, the accounted page
can't be mapped to userspace (look at page_has_type() and comments above).
In particular, this blocks the accounting of vmalloc-backed memory used
by some bpf maps, because these maps do map the memory to userspace.
One option is to fix it by complicating the access to page->mapcount,
which provides some free bits for page->page_type.
But it's way better to move this flag into page->memcg_data flags.
Indeed, the flag makes no sense without enabled memory cgroups and memory
cgroup pointer set in particular.
This commit replaces PageKmemcg() and __SetPageKmemcg() with
PageMemcgKmem() and an open-coded OR operation setting the memcg pointer
with the MEMCG_DATA_KMEM bit. __ClearPageKmemcg() can be simple deleted,
as the whole memcg_data is zeroed at once.
As a bonus, on !CONFIG_MEMCG build the PageMemcgKmem() check will be
compiled out.

Patch series "mm: allow mapping accounted kernel pages to userspace", v6.
Currently a non-slab kernel page which has been charged to a memory cgroup
can't be mapped to userspace. The underlying reason is simple: PageKmemcg
flag is defined as a page type (like buddy, offline, etc), so it takes a
bit from a page->mapped counter. Pages with a type set can't be mapped to
userspace.
But in general the kmemcg flag has nothing to do with mapping to
userspace. It only means that the page has been accounted by the page
allocator, so it has to be properly uncharged on release.
Some bpf maps are mapping the vmalloc-based memory to userspace, and their
memory can't be accounted because of this implementation detail.
This patchset removes this limitation by moving the PageKmemcg flag into
one of the free bits of the page->mem_cgroup pointer. Also it formalizes
accesses to the page->mem_cgroup and page->obj_cgroups using new helpers,
adds several checks and removes a couple of obsolete functions. As the
result the code became more robust with fewer open-coded bit tricks.
This patch (of 4):
Currently there are many open-coded reads of the page->mem_cgroup pointer,
as well as a couple of read helpers, which are barely used.
It creates an obstacle on a way to reuse some bits of the pointer for
storing additional bits of information. In fact, we already do this for
slab pages, where the last bit indicates that a pointer has an attached
vector of objcg pointers instead of a regular memcg pointer.
This commits uses 2 existing helpers and introduces a new helper to
converts all read sides to calls of these helpers:
struct mem_cgroup *page_memcg(struct page *page);
struct mem_cgroup *page_memcg_rcu(struct page *page);
struct mem_cgroup *page_memcg_check(struct page *page);
page_memcg_check() is intended to be used in cases when the page can be a
slab page and have a memcg pointer pointing at objcg vector. It does
check the lowest bit, and if set, returns NULL. page_memcg() contains a
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() check for the page not being a slab page.
To make sure nobody uses a direct access, struct page's
mem_cgroup/obj_cgroups is converted to unsigned long memcg_data.

The ethernet driver may allocate skb (and skb->data) via napi_alloc_skb().
This ends up to page_frag_alloc() to allocate skb->data from
page_frag_cache->va.
During the memory pressure, page_frag_cache->va may be allocated as
pfmemalloc page. As a result, the skb->pfmemalloc is always true as
skb->data is from page_frag_cache->va. The skb will be dropped if the
sock (receiver) does not have SOCK_MEMALLOC. This is expected behaviour
under memory pressure.
However, once kernel is not under memory pressure any longer (suppose large
amount of memory pages are just reclaimed), the page_frag_alloc() may still
re-use the prior pfmemalloc page_frag_cache->va to allocate skb->data. As a
result, the skb->pfmemalloc is always true unless page_frag_cache->va is
re-allocated, even if the kernel is not under memory pressure any longer.
Here is how kernel runs into issue.
1. The kernel is under memory pressure and allocation of
PAGE_FRAG_CACHE_MAX_ORDER in __page_frag_cache_refill() will fail. Instead,
the pfmemalloc page is allocated for page_frag_cache->va.
2: All skb->data from page_frag_cache->va (pfmemalloc) will have
skb->pfmemalloc=true. The skb will always be dropped by sock without
SOCK_MEMALLOC. This is an expected behaviour.
3. Suppose a large amount of pages are reclaimed and kernel is not under
memory pressure any longer. We expect skb->pfmemalloc drop will not happen.
4. Unfortunately, page_frag_alloc() does not proactively re-allocate
page_frag_alloc->va and will always re-use the prior pfmemalloc page. The
skb->pfmemalloc is always true even kernel is not under memory pressure any
longer.
Fix this by freeing and re-allocating the page instead of recycling it.

__free_pages_core() is used when exposing fresh memory to the buddy during
system boot and when onlining memory in generic_online_page().
generic_online_page() is used in two cases:
1. Direct memory onlining in online_pages().
2. Deferred memory onlining in memory-ballooning-like mechanisms (HyperV
balloon and virtio-mem), when parts of a section are kept
fake-offline to be fake-onlined later on.
In 1, we already place pages to the tail of the freelist. Pages will be
freed to MIGRATE_ISOLATE lists first and moved to the tail of the
freelists via undo_isolate_page_range().
In 2, we currently don't implement a proper rule. In case of virtio-mem,
where we currently always online MAX_ORDER - 1 pages, the pages will be
placed to the HEAD of the freelist - undesireable. While the hyper-v
balloon calls generic_online_page() with single pages, usually it will
call it on successive single pages in a larger block.
The pages are fresh, so place them to the tail of the freelist and avoid
the PCP. In __free_pages_core(), remove the now superflouos call to
set_page_refcounted() and add a comment regarding page initialization and
the refcount.
Note: In 2. we currently don't shuffle. If ever relevant (page shuffling
is usually of limited use in virtualized environments), we might want to
shuffle after a sequence of generic_online_page() calls in the relevant
callers.

Whenever we move pages between freelists via move_to_free_list()/
move_freepages_block(), we don't actually touch the pages:
1. Page isolation doesn't actually touch the pages, it simply isolates
pageblocks and moves all free pages to the MIGRATE_ISOLATE freelist.
When undoing isolation, we move the pages back to the target list.
2. Page stealing (steal_suitable_fallback()) moves free pages directly
between lists without touching them.
3. reserve_highatomic_pageblock()/unreserve_highatomic_pageblock() moves
free pages directly between freelists without touching them.
We already place pages to the tail of the freelists when undoing isolation
via __putback_isolated_page(), let's do it in any case (e.g., if order <=
pageblock_order) and document the behavior. To simplify, let's move the
pages to the tail for all move_to_free_list()/move_freepages_block() users.
In 2., the target list is empty, so there should be no change. In 3., we
might observe a change, however, highatomic is more concerned about
allocations succeeding than cache hotness - if we ever realize this change
degrades a workload, we can special-case this instance and add a proper
comment.
This change results in all pages getting onlined via online_pages() to be
placed to the tail of the freelist.

__putback_isolated_page() already documents that pages will be placed to
the tail of the freelist - this is, however, not the case for "order >=
MAX_ORDER - 2" (see buddy_merge_likely()) - which should be the case for
all existing users.
This change affects two users:
- free page reporting
- page isolation, when undoing the isolation (including memory onlining).
This behavior is desirable for pages that haven't really been touched
lately, so exactly the two users that don't actually read/write page
content, but rather move untouched pages.
The new behavior is especially desirable for memory onlining, where we
allow allocation of newly onlined pages via undo_isolate_page_range() in
online_pages(). Right now, we always place them to the head of the
freelist, resulting in undesireable behavior: Assume we add individual
memory chunks via add_memory() and online them right away to the NORMAL
zone. We create a dependency chain of unmovable allocations e.g., via the
memmap. The memmap of the next chunk will be placed onto previous chunks
- if the last block cannot get offlined+removed, all dependent ones cannot
get offlined+removed. While this can already be observed with individual
DIMMs, it's more of an issue for virtio-mem (and I suspect also ppc
DLPAR).
Document that this should only be used for optimizations, and no code
should rely on this behavior for correction (if the order of the freelists
ever changes).
We won't care about page shuffling: memory onlining already properly
shuffles after onlining. free page reporting doesn't care about
physically contiguous ranges, and there are already cases where page
isolation will simply move (physically close) free pages to (currently)
the head of the freelists via move_freepages_block() instead of shuffling.
If this becomes ever relevant, we should shuffle the whole zone when
undoing isolation of larger ranges, and after free_contig_range().

Patch series "mm: place pages to the freelist tail when onlining and undoing isolation", v2.
When adding separate memory blocks via add_memory*() and onlining them
immediately, the metadata (especially the memmap) of the next block will
be placed onto one of the just added+onlined block. This creates a chain
of unmovable allocations: If the last memory block cannot get
offlined+removed() so will all dependent ones. We directly have unmovable
allocations all over the place.
This can be observed quite easily using virtio-mem, however, it can also
be observed when using DIMMs. The freshly onlined pages will usually be
placed to the head of the freelists, meaning they will be allocated next,
turning the just-added memory usually immediately un-removable. The fresh
pages are cold, prefering to allocate others (that might be hot) also
feels to be the natural thing to do.
It also applies to the hyper-v balloon xen-balloon, and ppc64 dlpar: when
adding separate, successive memory blocks, each memory block will have
unmovable allocations on them - for example gigantic pages will fail to
allocate.
While the ZONE_NORMAL doesn't provide any guarantees that memory can get
offlined+removed again (any kind of fragmentation with unmovable
allocations is possible), there are many scenarios (hotplugging a lot of
memory, running workload, hotunplug some memory/as much as possible) where
we can offline+remove quite a lot with this patchset.
a) To visualize the problem, a very simple example:
Start a VM with 4GB and 8GB of virtio-mem memory:
[root@localhost ~]# lsmem
RANGE SIZE STATE REMOVABLE BLOCK
0x0000000000000000-0x00000000bfffffff 3G online yes 0-23
0x0000000100000000-0x000000033fffffff 9G online yes 32-103
Memory block size: 128M
Total online memory: 12G
Total offline memory: 0B
Then try to unplug as much as possible using virtio-mem. Observe which
memory blocks are still around. Without this patch set:
[root@localhost ~]# lsmem

Memory block size: 128M
Total online memory: 4G
Total offline memory: 0B
All memory can get unplugged, all memory block can get removed. Of
course, no workload ran and the system was basically idle, but it
highlights the issue - the fairly deterministic chain of unmovable
allocations. When a huge page for the 2MB memmap is needed, a
just-onlined 4MB page will be split. The remaining 2MB page will be used
for the memmap of the next memory block. So one memory block will hold
the memmap of the two following memory blocks. Finally the pages of the
last-onlined memory block will get used for the next bigger allocations -
if any allocation is unmovable, all dependent memory blocks cannot get
unplugged and removed until that allocation is gone.
Note that with bigger memory blocks (e.g., 256MB), *all* memory
blocks are dependent and none can get unplugged again!
b) Experiment with memory intensive workload
I performed an experiment with an older version of this patch set (before
we used undo_isolate_page_range() in online_pages(): Hotplug 56GB to a VM
with an initial 4GB, onlining all memory to ZONE_NORMAL right from the
kernel when adding it. I then run various memory intensive workloads that
consume most system memory for a total of 45 minutes. Once finished, I
try to unplug as much memory as possible.
With this change, I am able to remove via virtio-mem (adding individual
128MB memory blocks) 413 out of 448 added memory blocks. Via individual
(256MB) DIMMs 380 out of 448 added memory blocks. (I don't have any
numbers without this patchset, but looking at the above example, it's at
most half of the 448 memory blocks for virtio-mem, and most probably none
for DIMMs).
Again, there are workloads that might behave very differently due to the
nature of ZONE_NORMAL.
This change also affects (besides memory onlining):
- Other users of undo_isolate_page_range(): Pages are always placed to the
tail.
-- When memory offlining fails
-- When memory isolation fails after having isolated some pageblocks
-- When alloc_contig_range() either succeeds or fails
- Other users of __putback_isolated_page(): Pages are always placed to the
tail.
-- Free page reporting
- Other users of __free_pages_core()
-- AFAIKs, any memory that is getting exposed to the buddy during boot.
IIUC we will now usually allocate memory from lower addresses within
a zone first (especially during boot).
- Other users of generic_online_page()
-- Hyper-V balloon
This patch (of 5):
Let's prepare for additional flags and avoid long parameter lists of
bools. Follow-up patches will also make use of the flags in
__free_pages_ok().

This patch changes the way we set and handle in-use poisoned pages. Until
now, poisoned pages were released to the buddy allocator, trusting that
the checks that take place at allocation time would act as a safe net and
would skip that page.
This has proved to be wrong, as we got some pfn walkers out there, like
compaction, that all they care is the page to be in a buddy freelist.
Although this might not be the only user, having poisoned pages in the
buddy allocator seems a bad idea as we should only have free pages that
are ready and meant to be used as such.
Before explaining the taken approach, let us break down the kind of pages
we can soft offline.
- Anonymous THP (after the split, they end up being 4K pages)
- Hugetlb
- Order-0 pages (that can be either migrated or invalited)
* Normal pages (order-0 and anon-THP)
- If they are clean and unmapped page cache pages, we invalidate
then by means of invalidate_inode_page().
- If they are mapped/dirty, we do the isolate-and-migrate dance.
Either way, do not call put_page directly from those paths. Instead, we
keep the page and send it to page_handle_poison to perform the right
handling.
page_handle_poison sets the HWPoison flag and does the last put_page.
Down the chain, we placed a check for HWPoison page in
free_pages_prepare, that just skips any poisoned page, so those pages
do not end up in any pcplist/freelist.
After that, we set the refcount on the page to 1 and we increment
the poisoned pages counter.
If we see that the check in free_pages_prepare creates trouble, we can
always do what we do for free pages:
- wait until the page hits buddy's freelists
- take it off, and flag it
The downside of the above approach is that we could race with an
allocation, so by the time we want to take the page off the buddy, the
page has been already allocated so we cannot soft offline it.
But the user could always retry it.
* Hugetlb pages
- We isolate-and-migrate them
After the migration has been successful, we call dissolve_free_huge_page,
and we set HWPoison on the page if we succeed.
Hugetlb has a slightly different handling though.
While for non-hugetlb pages we cared about closing the race with an
allocation, doing so for hugetlb pages requires quite some additional
and intrusive code (we would need to hook in free_huge_page and some other
places).
So I decided to not make the code overly complicated and just fail
normally if the page we allocated in the meantime.
We can always build on top of this.
As a bonus, because of the way we handle now in-use pages, we no longer
need the put-as-isolation-migratetype dance, that was guarding for poisoned
pages to end up in pcplists.

When trying to soft-offline a free page, we need to first take it off the
buddy allocator. Once we know is out of reach, we can safely flag it as
poisoned.
take_page_off_buddy will be used to take a page meant to be poisoned off
the buddy allocator. take_page_off_buddy calls break_down_buddy_pages,
which splits a higher-order page in case our page belongs to one.
Once the page is under our control, we call page_handle_poison to set it
as poisoned and grab a refcount on it.

The implementation of split_page_owner() prefers a count rather than the
old order of the page. When we support a variable size THP, we won't
have the order at this point, but we will have the number of pages.
So change the interface to what the caller and callee would prefer.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
- Add redirect_neigh() BPF packet redirect helper, allowing to limit
stack traversal in common container configs and improving TCP
back-pressure.
Daniel reports ~10Gbps => ~15Gbps single stream TCP performance gain.
- Expand netlink policy support and improve policy export to user
space. (Ge)netlink core performs request validation according to
declared policies. Expand the expressiveness of those policies
(min/max length and bitmasks). Allow dumping policies for particular
commands. This is used for feature discovery by user space (instead
of kernel version parsing or trial and error).
- Support IGMPv3/MLDv2 multicast listener discovery protocols in
bridge.
- Allow more than 255 IPv4 multicast interfaces.
- Add support for Type of Service (ToS) reflection in SYN/SYN-ACK
packets of TCPv6.
- In Multi-patch TCP (MPTCP) support concurrent transmission of data on
multiple subflows in a load balancing scenario. Enhance advertising
addresses via the RM_ADDR/ADD_ADDR options.
- Support SMC-Dv2 version of SMC, which enables multi-subnet
deployments.
- Allow more calls to same peer in RxRPC.
- Support two new Controller Area Network (CAN) protocols - CAN-FD and
ISO 15765-2:2016.
- Add xfrm/IPsec compat layer, solving the 32bit user space on 64bit
kernel problem.
- Add TC actions for implementing MPLS L2 VPNs.
- Improve nexthop code - e.g. handle various corner cases when nexthop
objects are removed from groups better, skip unnecessary
notifications and make it easier to offload nexthops into HW by
converting to a blocking notifier.
- Support adding and consuming TCP header options by BPF programs,
opening the doors for easy experimental and deployment-specific TCP
option use.
- Reorganize TCP congestion control (CC) initialization to simplify
life of TCP CC implemented in BPF.
- Add support for shipping BPF programs with the kernel and loading
them early on boot via the User Mode Driver mechanism, hence reusing
all the user space infra we have.
- Support sleepable BPF programs, initially targeting LSM and tracing.
- Add bpf_d_path() helper for returning full path for given 'struct
path'.
- Make bpf_tail_call compatible with bpf-to-bpf calls.
- Allow BPF programs to call map_update_elem on sockmaps.
- Add BPF Type Format (BTF) support for type and enum discovery, as
well as support for using BTF within the kernel itself (current use
is for pretty printing structures).
- Support listing and getting information about bpf_links via the bpf
syscall.
- Enhance kernel interfaces around NIC firmware update. Allow
specifying overwrite mask to control if settings etc. are reset
during update; report expected max time operation may take to users;
support firmware activation without machine reboot incl. limits of
how much impact reset may have (e.g. dropping link or not).
- Extend ethtool configuration interface to report IEEE-standard
counters, to limit the need for per-vendor logic in user space.
- Adopt or extend devlink use for debug, monitoring, fw update in many
drivers (dsa loop, ice, ionic, sja1105, qed, mlxsw, mv88e6xxx,
dpaa2-eth).
- In mlxsw expose critical and emergency SFP module temperature alarms.
Refactor port buffer handling to make the defaults more suitable and
support setting these values explicitly via the DCBNL interface.
- Add XDP support for Intel's igb driver.
- Support offloading TC flower classification and filtering rules to
mscc_ocelot switches.
- Add PTP support for Marvell Octeontx2 and PP2.2 hardware, as well as
fixed interval period pulse generator and one-step timestamping in
dpaa-eth.
- Add support for various auth offloads in WiFi APs, e.g. SAE (WPA3)
offload.
- Add Lynx PHY/PCS MDIO module, and convert various drivers which have
this HW to use it. Convert mvpp2 to split PCS.
- Support Marvell Prestera 98DX3255 24-port switch ASICs, as well as
7-port Mediatek MT7531 IP.
- Add initial support for QCA6390 and IPQ6018 in ath11k WiFi driver,
and wcn3680 support in wcn36xx.
- Improve performance for packets which don't require much offloads on
recent Mellanox NICs by 20% by making multiple packets share a
descriptor entry.
- Move chelsio inline crypto drivers (for TLS and IPsec) from the
crypto subtree to drivers/net. Move MDIO drivers out of the phy
directory.
- Clean up a lot of W=1 warnings, reportedly the actively developed
subsections of networking drivers should now build W=1 warning free.
- Make sure drivers don't use in_interrupt() to dynamically adapt their
code. Convert tasklets to use new tasklet_setup API (sadly this
conversion is not yet complete).
