Add a bpf_csum_level() helper which BPF programs can use in combination
with bpf_skb_adjust_room() when they pass in BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_NO_CSUM_RESET
flag to the latter to avoid falling back to CHECKSUM_NONE.
The bpf_csum_level() allows to adjust CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY skb->csum_levels
via BPF_CSUM_LEVEL_{INC,DEC} which calls __skb_{incr,decr}_checksum_unnecessary()
on the skb. The helper also allows a BPF_CSUM_LEVEL_RESET which sets the skb's
csum to CHECKSUM_NONE as well as a BPF_CSUM_LEVEL_QUERY to just return the
current level. Without this helper, there is no way to otherwise adjust the
skb->csum_level. I did not add an extra dummy flags as there is plenty of free
bitspace in level argument itself iff ever needed in future.

Lorenz recently reported:
In our TC classifier cls_redirect [0], we use the following sequence of
helper calls to decapsulate a GUE (basically IP + UDP + custom header)
encapsulated packet:
bpf_skb_adjust_room(skb, -encap_len, BPF_ADJ_ROOM_MAC, BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_FIXED_GSO)
bpf_redirect(skb->ifindex, BPF_F_INGRESS)
It seems like some checksums of the inner headers are not validated in
this case. For example, a TCP SYN packet with invalid TCP checksum is
still accepted by the network stack and elicits a SYN ACK. [...]
That is, we receive the following packet from the driver:
| ETH | IP | UDP | GUE | IP | TCP |
skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
ip_summed is CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY because our NICs do rx checksum offloading.
On this packet we run skb_adjust_room_mac(-encap_len), and get the following:
| ETH | IP | TCP |
skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
Note that ip_summed is still CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. After bpf_redirect()'ing
into the ingress, we end up in tcp_v4_rcv(). There, skb_checksum_init() is
turned into a no-op due to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.
The bpf_skb_adjust_room() helper is not aware of protocol specifics. Internally,
it handles the CHECKSUM_COMPLETE case via skb_postpull_rcsum(), but that does
not cover CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. In this case skb->csum_level of the original
skb prior to bpf_skb_adjust_room() call was 0, that is, covering UDP. Right now
there is no way to adjust the skb->csum_level. NICs that have checksum offload
disabled (CHECKSUM_NONE) or that support CHECKSUM_COMPLETE are not affected.
Use a safe default for CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY by resetting to CHECKSUM_NONE and
add a flag to the helper called BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_NO_CSUM_RESET that allows users
from opting out. Opting out is useful for the case where we don't remove/add
full protocol headers, or for the case where a user wants to adjust the csum
level manually e.g. through bpf_csum_level() helper that is added in subsequent
patch.
The bpf_skb_proto_{4_to_6,6_to_4}() for NAT64/46 translation from the BPF
bpf_skb_change_proto() helper uses bpf_skb_net_hdr_{push,pop}() pair internally
as well but doesn't change layers, only transitions between v4 to v6 and vice
versa, therefore no adoption is required there.

Patch series "mm: Get rid of vmalloc_sync_(un)mappings()", v3.
After the recent issue with vmalloc and tracing code[1] on x86 and a
long history of previous issues related to the vmalloc_sync_mappings()
interface, I thought the time has come to remove it. Please see [2],
[3], and [4] for some other issues in the past.
The patches add tracking of page-table directory changes to the vmalloc
and ioremap code. Depending on which page-table levels changes have
been made, a new per-arch function is called:
arch_sync_kernel_mappings().
On x86-64 with 4-level paging, this function will not be called more
than 64 times in a systems runtime (because vmalloc-space takes 64 PGD
entries which are only populated, but never cleared).
As a side effect this also allows to get rid of vmalloc faults on x86,
making it safe to touch vmalloc'ed memory in the page-fault handler.
Note that this potentially includes per-cpu memory.
This patch (of 7):
Add page-table allocation functions which will keep track of changed
directory entries. They are needed for new PGD, P4D, PUD, and PMD
entries and will be used in vmalloc and ioremap code to decide whether
any changes in the kernel mappings need to be synchronized between
page-tables in the system.

Open code it in __bpf_map_area_alloc, which is the only caller. Also
clean up __bpf_map_area_alloc to have a single vmalloc call with slightly
different flags instead of the current two different calls.

nommu.c.

The page table entry is passed in the 'val' argument to note_page(),
however this was previously an "unsigned long" which is fine on 64-bit
platforms. But for 32 bit x86 it is not always big enough to contain a
page table entry which may be 64 bits.
Change the type to u64 to ensure that it is always big enough.

Patch series "Fix W+X debug feature on x86"
Jan alerted me[1] that the W+X detection debug feature was broken in x86
by my change[2] to switch x86 to use the generic ptdump infrastructure.
Fundamentally the approach of trying to move the calculation of
effective permissions into note_page() was broken because note_page() is
only called for 'leaf' entries and the effective permissions are passed
down via the internal nodes of the page tree. The solution I've taken
here is to create a new (optional) callback which is called for all
nodes of the page tree and therefore can calculate the effective
permissions.
Secondly on some configurations (32 bit with PAE) "unsigned long" is not
large enough to store the table entries. The fix here is simple - let's
just use a u64.

[2] 2ae27137b2db ("x86: mm: convert dump_pagetables to use walk_page_range")
This patch (of 2):
By switching the x86 page table dump code to use the generic code the
effective permissions are no longer calculated correctly because the
note_page() function is only called for *leaf* entries. To calculate
the actual effective permissions it is necessary to observe the full
hierarchy of the page tree.
Introduce a new callback for ptdump which is called for every entry and
can therefore update the prot_levels array correctly. note_page() can
then simply access the appropriate element in the array.

Add a memory.swap.high knob, which can be used to protect the system
from SWAP exhaustion. The mechanism used for penalizing is similar to
memory.high penalty (sleep on return to user space).
That is not to say that the knob itself is equivalent to memory.high.
The objective is more to protect the system from potentially buggy tasks
consuming a lot of swap and impacting other tasks, or even bringing the
whole system to stand still with complete SWAP exhaustion. Hopefully
without the need to find per-task hard limits.
Slowing misbehaving tasks down gradually allows user space oom killers
or other protection mechanisms to react. oomd and earlyoom already do
killing based on swap exhaustion, and memory.swap.high protection will
help implement such userspace oom policies more reliably.
We can use one counter for number of pages allocated under pressure to
save struct task space and avoid two separate hierarchy walks on the hot
path. The exact overage is calculated on return to user space, anyway.
Take the new high limit into account when determining if swap is "full".
Borrowing the explanation from Johannes:
The idea behind "swap full" is that as long as the workload has plenty
of swap space available and it's not changing its memory contents, it
makes sense to generously hold on to copies of data in the swap device,
even after the swapin. A later reclaim cycle can drop the page without
any IO. Trading disk space for IO.
But the only two ways to reclaim a swap slot is when they're faulted
in and the references go away, or by scanning the virtual address space
like swapoff does - which is very expensive (one could argue it's too
expensive even for swapoff, it's often more practical to just reboot).
So at some point in the fill level, we have to start freeing up swap
slots on fault/swapin. Otherwise we could eventually run out of swap
slots while they're filled with copies of data that is also in RAM.
We don't want to OOM a workload because its available swap space is
filled with redundant cache.

In some swap scalability test, it is found that there are heavy lock
contention on swap cache even if we have split one swap cache radix tree
per swap device to one swap cache radix tree every 64 MB trunk in commit
4b3ef9daa4fc ("mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks").
The reason is as follow. After the swap device becomes fragmented so
that there's no free swap cluster, the swap device will be scanned
linearly to find the free swap slots. swap_info_struct->cluster_next is
the next scanning base that is shared by all CPUs. So nearby free swap
slots will be allocated for different CPUs. The probability for
multiple CPUs to operate on the same 64 MB trunk is high. This causes
the lock contention on the swap cache.
To solve the issue, in this patch, for SSD swap device, a percpu version
next scanning base (cluster_next_cpu) is added. Every CPU will use its
own per-cpu next scanning base. And after finishing scanning a 64MB
trunk, the per-cpu scanning base will be changed to the beginning of
another randomly selected 64MB trunk. In this way, the probability for
multiple CPUs to operate on the same 64 MB trunk is reduced greatly.
Thus the lock contention is reduced too. For HDD, because sequential
access is more important for IO performance, the original shared next
scanning base is used.
To test the patch, we have run 16-process pmbench memory benchmark on a
2-socket server machine with 48 cores. One ram disk is configured as the
swap device per socket. The pmbench working-set size is much larger than
the available memory so that swapping is triggered. The memory read/write
ratio is 80/20 and the accessing pattern is random. In the original
implementation, the lock contention on the swap cache is heavy. The perf
profiling data of the lock contention code path is as following,
_raw_spin_lock_irq.add_to_swap_cache.add_to_swap.shrink_page_list: 7.91
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave.__remove_mapping.shrink_page_list: 7.11
_raw_spin_lock.swapcache_free_entries.free_swap_slot.__swap_entry_free: 2.51
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave.swap_cgroup_record.mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap: 1.66
_raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.29
_raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 1.03
_raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 0.93
After applying this patch, it becomes,
_raw_spin_lock.swapcache_free_entries.free_swap_slot.__swap_entry_free: 3.58
_raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 2.3
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave.swap_cgroup_record.mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap: 2.26
_raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.8
_raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 1.19
The lock contention on the swap cache is almost eliminated.
And the pmbench score increases 18.5%. The swapin throughput increases
18.7% from 2.96 GB/s to 3.51 GB/s. While the swapout throughput increases
18.5% from 2.99 GB/s to 3.54 GB/s.
We need really fast disk to show the benefit. I have tried this on 2
Intel P3600 NVMe disks. The performance improvement is only about 1%.
The improvement should be better on the faster disks, such as Intel Optane
disk.

swap_info_struct->swap_map[] encodes some flag and count. And to
do some condition check, it also introduces some special values.
Currently those macros are defined with some magic order, which makes
audience hard to understand the exact meaning.
This patch split those macros into three categories:
flag
special value for first swap_map
special value for continued swap_map
May this help audiences a little.

After an NFS page has been written it is considered "unstable" until a
COMMIT request succeeds. If the COMMIT fails, the page will be
re-written.
These "unstable" pages are currently accounted as "reclaimable", either
in WB_RECLAIMABLE, or in NR_UNSTABLE_NFS which is included in a
'reclaimable' count. This might have made sense when sending the COMMIT
required a separate action by the VFS/MM (e.g. releasepage() used to
send a COMMIT). However now that all writes generated by ->writepages()
will automatically be followed by a COMMIT (since commit 919e3bd9a875
("NFS: Ensure we commit after writeback is complete")) it makes more
sense to treat them as writeback pages.
So this patch removes NR_UNSTABLE_NFS and accounts unstable pages in
NR_WRITEBACK and WB_WRITEBACK.
A particular effect of this change is that when
wb_check_background_flush() calls wb_over_bg_threshold(), the latter
will report 'true' a lot less often as the 'unstable' pages are no
longer considered 'dirty' (as there is nothing that writeback can do
about them anyway).
Currently wb_check_background_flush() will trigger writeback to NFS even
when there are relatively few dirty pages (if there are lots of unstable
pages), this can result in small writes going to the server (10s of
Kilobytes rather than a Megabyte) which hurts throughput. With this
patch, there are fewer writes which are each larger on average.
Where the NR_UNSTABLE_NFS count was included in statistics
virtual-files, the entry is retained, but the value is hard-coded as
zero. static trace points and warning printks which mentioned this
counter no longer report it.

PF_LESS_THROTTLE exists for loop-back nfsd (and a similar need in the
loop block driver and callers of prctl(PR_SET_IO_FLUSHER)), where a
daemon needs to write to one bdi (the final bdi) in order to free up
writes queued to another bdi (the client bdi).
The daemon sets PF_LESS_THROTTLE and gets a larger allowance of dirty
pages, so that it can still dirty pages after other processses have been
throttled. The purpose of this is to avoid deadlock that happen when
the PF_LESS_THROTTLE process must write for any dirty pages to be freed,
but it is being thottled and cannot write.
This approach was designed when all threads were blocked equally,
independently on which device they were writing to, or how fast it was.
Since that time the writeback algorithm has changed substantially with
different threads getting different allowances based on non-trivial
heuristics. This means the simple "add 25%" heuristic is no longer
reliable.
The important issue is not that the daemon needs a *larger* dirty page
allowance, but that it needs a *private* dirty page allowance, so that
dirty pages for the "client" bdi that it is helping to clear (the bdi
for an NFS filesystem or loop block device etc) do not affect the
throttling of the daemon writing to the "final" bdi.
This patch changes the heuristic so that the task is not throttled when
the bdi it is writing to has a dirty page count below below (or equal
to) the free-run threshold for that bdi. This ensures it will always be
able to have some pages in flight, and so will not deadlock.
In a steady-state, it is expected that PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE tasks might
still be throttled by global threshold, but that is acceptable as it is
only the deadlock state that is interesting for this flag.
This approach of "only throttle when target bdi is busy" is consistent
with the other use of PF_LESS_THROTTLE in current_may_throttle(), were
it causes attention to be focussed only on the target bdi.
So this patch
- renames PF_LESS_THROTTLE to PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE,
- removes the 25% bonus that that flag gives, and
- If PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE is set, don't delay at all unless the
global and the local free-run thresholds are exceeded.
Note that previously realtime threads were treated the same as
PF_LESS_THROTTLE threads. This patch does *not* change the behvaiour
for real-time threads, so it is now different from the behaviour of nfsd
and loop tasks. I don't know what is wanted for realtime.

Patch series "Introduce attach/detach_page_private to cleanup code".
This patch (of 10):
The logic in attach_page_buffers and __clear_page_buffers are quite
paired, but
1. they are located in different files.
2. attach_page_buffers is implemented in buffer_head.h, so it could be
used by other files. But __clear_page_buffers is static function in
buffer.c and other potential users can't call the function, md-bitmap
even copied the function.
So, introduce the new attach/detach_page_private to replace them. With
the new pair of function, we will remove the usage of attach_page_buffers
and __clear_page_buffers in next patches. Thanks for suggestions about
the function name from Alexander Viro, Andreas Grünbacher, Christoph
Hellwig and Matthew Wilcox.

This replaces ->readpages with a saner interface:
- Return void instead of an ignored error code.
- Page cache is already populated with locked pages when ->readahead
is called.
- New arguments can be passed to the implementation without changing
all the filesystems that use a common helper function like
mpage_readahead().

Patch series "Change readahead API", v11.
This series adds a readahead address_space operation to replace the
readpages operation. The key difference is that pages are added to the
page cache as they are allocated (and then looked up by the filesystem)
instead of passing them on a list to the readpages operation and having
the filesystem add them to the page cache. It's a net reduction in code
for each implementation, more efficient than walking a list, and solves
the direct-write vs buffered-read problem reported by yu kuai at
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200116063601.39201-1-yukuai3@huawei.com
The only unconverted filesystems are those which use fscache. Their
conversion is pending Dave Howells' rewrite which will make the
conversion substantially easier. This should be completed by the end of
the year.
I want to thank the reviewers/testers; Dave Chinner, John Hubbard, Eric
Biggers, Johannes Thumshirn, Dave Sterba, Zi Yan, Christoph Hellwig and
Miklos Szeredi have done a marvellous job of providing constructive
criticism.
These patches pass an xfstests run on ext4, xfs & btrfs with no
regressions that I can tell (some of the tests seem a little flaky
before and remain flaky afterwards).
This patch (of 25):
The readahead code is part of the page cache so should be found in the
pagemap.h file. force_page_cache_readahead is only used within mm, so
move it to mm/internal.h instead. Remove the parameter names where they
add no value, and rename the ones which were actively misleading.

Patch series "vfs: have syncfs() return error when there are writeback
errors", v6.
Currently, syncfs does not return errors when one of the inodes fails to
be written back. It will return errors based on the legacy AS_EIO and
AS_ENOSPC flags when syncing out the block device fails, but that's not
particularly helpful for filesystems that aren't backed by a blockdev.
It's also possible for a stray sync to lose those errors.
The basic idea in this set is to track writeback errors at the
superblock level, so that we can quickly and easily check whether
something bad happened without having to fsync each file individually.
syncfs is then changed to reliably report writeback errors after they
occur, much in the same fashion as fsync does now.
This patch (of 2):
Usually we suggest that applications call fsync when they want to ensure
that all data written to the file has made it to the backing store, but
that can be inefficient when there are a lot of open files.
Calling syncfs on the filesystem can be more efficient in some
situations, but the error reporting doesn't currently work the way most
people expect. If a single inode on a filesystem reports a writeback
error, syncfs won't necessarily return an error. syncfs only returns an
error if __sync_blockdev fails, and on some filesystems that's a no-op.
It would be better if syncfs reported an error if there were any
writeback failures. Then applications could call syncfs to see if there
are any errors on any open files, and could then call fsync on all of
the other descriptors to figure out which one failed.
This patch adds a new errseq_t to struct super_block, and has
mapping_set_error also record writeback errors there.
To report those errors, we also need to keep an errseq_t in struct file
to act as a cursor. This patch adds a dedicated field for that purpose,
which slots nicely into 4 bytes of padding at the end of struct file on
x86_64.
An earlier version of this patch used an O_PATH file descriptor to cue
the kernel that the open file should track the superblock error and not
the inode's writeback error.
I think that API is just too weird though. This is simpler and should
make syncfs error reporting "just work" even if someone is multiplexing
fsync and syncfs on the same fds.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Currently, 'KDBFLAGS' is an internal variable of kdb, it is combined
by 'KDBDEBUG' and state flags. It will be shown only when 'KDBDEBUG'
is set, and the user can define an environment variable named 'KDBFLAGS'
too. These are puzzling indeed.
After communication with Daniel, it seems that 'KDBFLAGS' is a misfeature.
So let's replace 'KDBFLAGS' with 'KDBDEBUG' to just show the value we
wrote into. After this modification, we can use `md4c1 kdb_flags` instead,
to observe the state flags.

'hyper-v', 'core' and 'x86/amd' into next
|
|
The ring element addresses are passed between components with different
alignments assumptions. Thus, if guest/userspace selects a pointer and
host then gets and dereferences it, we might need to decrease the
compiler-selected alignment to prevent compiler on the host from
assuming pointer is aligned.
This actually triggers on ARM with -mabi=apcs-gnu - which is a
deprecated configuration, but it seems safer to handle this
generally.
Note that userspace that allocates the memory is actually OK and does
not need to be fixed, but userspace that gets it from guest or another
process does need to be fixed. The later doesn't generally talk to the
kernel so while it might be buggy it's not talking to the kernel in the
buggy way - it's just using the header in the buggy way - so fixing
header and asking userspace to recompile is the best we can do.
I verified that the produced kernel binary on x86 is exactly identical
before and after the change.
