Patch series "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually".
Let's remove highmem special-casing from adjust_managed_page_count(), to
result in less confusion why memblock manually adjusts totalram_pages, and
__free_pages_core() only adjusts the zone's managed pages -- what about
the highmem pages that adjust_managed_page_count() updates?
Now, we only maintain totalram_pages and a zone's managed pages
independent of highmem support. We can derive the number of highmem pages
simply by looking at the relevant zone's managed pages. I don't think
there is any particular fast path that needs a maximum-efficient
totalhigh_pages() implementation.
Note that highmem memory is currently initialized using
free_highmem_page()->free_reserved_page(), not __free_pages_core(). In
the future we might want to also use __free_pages_core() to initialize
highmem memory, to make that less special, and consider moving
totalram_pages updates into __free_pages_core() [1], so we can just use
adjust_managed_page_count() in there as well.
Booting a simple kernel in QEMU reveals no highmem accounting change:
Before:
Memory: 3095448K/3145208K available (14802K kernel code, 2073K rwdata,
5000K rodata, 740K init, 556K bss, 49760K reserved, 0K cma-reserved,
2244488K highmem)
After:
Memory: 3095276K/3145208K available (14802K kernel code, 2073K rwdata,
5000K rodata, 740K init, 556K bss, 49932K reserved, 0K cma-reserved,
2244488K highmem)

This patch (of 2):
Can we get rid of the highmem ifdef in adjust_managed_page_count()?
Likely yes: we don't have that many totalhigh_pages() users, and they all
don't seem to be very performance critical.
So let's implement totalhigh_pages() like nr_free_highpages(), collecting
information from all zones. This is now similar to what we do in
si_meminfo_node() to collect the per-node highmem page count.
In the common case (single node, 3-4 zones), we really shouldn't care. We
could optimize a bit further (only walk ZONE_HIGHMEM and ZONE_MOVABLE if
required), but there doesn't seem a real need for that.

After swapping out, we perform a swap-in operation. If we first read and
then write, we encounter a major fault in do_swap_page for reading, along
with additional minor faults in do_wp_page for writing. However, the
latter appears to be unnecessary and inefficient. Instead, we can
directly reuse in do_swap_page and completely eliminate the need for
do_wp_page.
This patch achieves that optimization specifically for exclusive folios.
The following microbenchmark demonstrates the significant reduction in
minor faults.
#define DATA_SIZE (2UL * 1024 * 1024)
#define PAGE_SIZE (4UL * 1024)
static void *read_write_data(char *addr)
{
char tmp;
for (int i = 0; i < DATA_SIZE; i += PAGE_SIZE) {
tmp = *(volatile char *)(addr + i);
*(volatile char *)(addr + i) = tmp;
}

The call for memblock_phys_free() in try_remove_memory() does not balance
any call to memblock_alloc() (or memblock_reserve() for that matter).
There are no memblock_reserve() calls in mm/memory_hotplug.c, no memblock
allocations possible after mm_core_init(), and even if memblock_add_node()
called from add_memory_resource() would need to allocate memory, that
memory would ba allocated from slab.
The patch f9126ab9241f ("memory-hotplug: fix wrong edge when hot add a new
node") that introduced that call to memblock_free() does not provide
adequate description why that was required and tinkering with memblock in
the context of memory hotplug on x86 seems bogus because x86 never kept
memblock after boot anyway.
Drop memblock_phys_free() call in try_remove_memory().

Although the top-level hugepage allocation can be turned off, anonymous
shmem can still use mTHP by configuring the sysfs interface located at
'/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepage-XXkb/shmem_enabled'.
Therefore, add alignment for mTHP size to provide a suitable alignment
address in shmem_get_unmapped_area().

Commit 19eaf44954df adds multi-size THP (mTHP) for anonymous pages, that
can allow THP to be configured through the sysfs interface located at
'/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepage-XXkb/enabled'.
However, the anonymous shmem will ignore the anonymous mTHP rule
configured through the sysfs interface, and can only use the PMD-mapped
THP, that is not reasonable. Users expect to apply the mTHP rule for all
anonymous pages, including the anonymous shmem, in order to enjoy the
benefits of mTHP. For example, lower latency than PMD-mapped THP, smaller
memory bloat than PMD-mapped THP, contiguous PTEs on ARM architecture to
reduce TLB miss etc. In addition, the mTHP interfaces can be extended to
support all shmem/tmpfs scenarios in the future, especially for the shmem
mmap() case.
The primary strategy is similar to supporting anonymous mTHP. Introduce a
new interface '/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepage-XXkb/shmem_enabled',
which can have almost the same values as the top-level
'/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled', with adding a new
additional "inherit" option and dropping the testing options 'force' and
'deny'. By default all sizes will be set to "never" except PMD size,
which is set to "inherit". This ensures backward compatibility with the
anonymous shmem enabled of the top level, meanwhile also allows
independent control of anonymous shmem enabled for each mTHP.

To support the use of mTHP with anonymous shmem, add a new sysfs interface
'shmem_enabled' in the '/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-kB/'
directory for each mTHP to control whether shmem is enabled for that mTHP,
with a value similar to the top level 'shmem_enabled', which can be set
to: "always", "inherit (to inherit the top level setting)", "within_size",
"advise", "never". An 'inherit' option is added to ensure compatibility
with these global settings, and the options 'force' and 'deny' are
dropped, which are rather testing artifacts from the old ages.
By default, PMD-sized hugepages have enabled="inherit" and all other
hugepage sizes have enabled="never" for
'/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-xxkB/shmem_enabled'.
In addition, if top level value is 'force', then only PMD-sized hugepages
have enabled="inherit", otherwise configuration will be failed and vice
versa. That means now we will avoid using non-PMD sized THP to override
the global huge allocation.

Patch series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem", v5.
Anonymous pages have already been supported for multi-size (mTHP)
allocation through commit 19eaf44954df, that can allow THP to be
configured through the sysfs interface located at
'/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepage-XXkb/enabled'.
However, the anonymous shmem will ignore the anonymous mTHP rule
configured through the sysfs interface, and can only use the PMD-mapped
THP, that is not reasonable. Many implement anonymous page sharing
through mmap(MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS), especially in database usage
scenarios, therefore, users expect to apply an unified mTHP strategy for
anonymous pages, also including the anonymous shared pages, in order to
enjoy the benefits of mTHP. For example, lower latency than PMD-mapped
THP, smaller memory bloat than PMD-mapped THP, contiguous PTEs on ARM
architecture to reduce TLB miss etc.
As discussed in the bi-weekly MM meeting[1], the mTHP controls should
control all of shmem, not only anonymous shmem, but support will be added
iteratively. Therefore, this patch set starts with support for anonymous
shmem.
The primary strategy is similar to supporting anonymous mTHP. Introduce a
new interface '/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepage-XXkb/shmem_enabled',
which can have almost the same values as the top-level
'/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled', with adding a new
additional "inherit" option and dropping the testing options 'force' and
'deny'. By default all sizes will be set to "never" except PMD size,
which is set to "inherit". This ensures backward compatibility with the
anonymous shmem enabled of the top level, meanwhile also allows
independent control of anonymous shmem enabled for each mTHP.
Use the page fault latency tool to measure the performance of 1G anonymous shmem
with 32 threads on my machine environment with: ARM64 Architecture, 32 cores,
125G memory:
base: mm-unstable
user-time sys_time faults_per_sec_per_cpu faults_per_sec
0.04s 3.10s 83516.416 2669684.890
mm-unstable + patchset, anon shmem mTHP disabled
user-time sys_time faults_per_sec_per_cpu faults_per_sec
0.02s 3.14s 82936.359 2630746.027
mm-unstable + patchset, anon shmem 64K mTHP enabled
user-time sys_time faults_per_sec_per_cpu faults_per_sec
0.08s 0.31s 678630.231 17082522.495
From the data above, it is observed that the patchset has a minimal impact
when mTHP is not enabled (some fluctuations observed during testing).
When enabling 64K mTHP, there is a significant improvement of the page
fault latency.

This patch (of 6):
Add large folio mapping establishment support for finish_fault() as a
preparation, to support multi-size THP allocation of anonymous shmem pages
in the following patches.
Keep the same behavior (per-page fault) for non-anon shmem to avoid
inflating the RSS unintentionally, and we can discuss what size of mapping
to build when extending mTHP to control non-anon shmem in the future.

When VMA based swap readahead is introduced in commit ec560175c0b6 ("mm,

to describe the readahead window. Because we wanted to save the PTE
entries in the struct at that time. But after commit 4f8fcf4ced0b
("mm/swap: swap_vma_readahead() do the pte_offset_map()"), we no longer
save PTE entries in the struct. The size of the struct becomes so small,
that it's better to use the fields of the struct directly. This can
simplify the code to improve the code readability. The line number of
source code reduces too.

Patch series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window
calculation".
When VMA based swap readahead is introduced in commit ec560175c0b6 ("mm,
swap: VMA based swap readahead"), "struct vma_swap_readahead" is defined
to describe the readahead window. Because we wanted to save the PTE
entries in the struct at that time. But after commit 4f8fcf4ced0b
("mm/swap: swap_vma_readahead() do the pte_offset_map()"), we no longer
save PTE entries in the struct. The size of the struct becomes so small,
that it's better to use the fields of the struct directly. This can
simplify the code to improve the code readability. The line number of
source code reduces too.
A theoretical underflow issue and some related code cleanup is done in the
series too.
This patch (of 3):
In swap readahead window calculation, if the fault PFN is smaller than the
readahead window size, underflow may occurs. This is only possible in
theory, because the start of the virtual address space will not be used
for anonymous pages in practice. Even if underflow occurs, there will be
no functional bugs. In the worst cases, some swap entries may be swapped
in incorrectly and some pages may be allocate on the wrong nodes.
Anyway, we still needs to fix the issue via some underflow checking.

Add a regression test to ensure that kmsan_unpoison_memory() works the
same as an unpoisoning operation added by the instrumentation.
The test has two subtests: one that checks the instrumentation, and one
that checks kmsan_unpoison_memory(). Each subtest initializes the first
byte of a 4-byte buffer, then checks that the other 3 bytes are
uninitialized.

When a large folio is found in the swapcache, the current implementation
requires calling do_swap_page() nr_pages times, resulting in nr_pages page
faults. This patch opts to map the entire large folio at once to minimize
page faults. Additionally, redundant checks and early exits for ARM64 MTE
restoring are removed.

The function should_try_to_free_swap() operates under the assumption that
swap-in always occurs at the normal page granularity, i.e.,
folio_nr_pages() = 1. However, in reality, for large folios,
add_to_swap_cache() will invoke folio_ref_add(folio, nr). To accommodate
large folio swap-in, this patch eliminates this assumption.

Should do_swap_page() have the capability to directly map a large folio,
metadata restoration becomes necessary for a specified number of pages
denoted as nr. It's important to highlight that metadata restoration is
solely required by the SPARC platform, which, however, does not enable
THP_SWAP. Consequently, in the present kernel configuration, there exists
no practical scenario where users necessitate the restoration of nr
metadata. Platforms implementing THP_SWAP might invoke this function with
nr values exceeding 1, subsequent to do_swap_page() successfully mapping
an entire large folio. Nonetheless, their arch_do_swap_page_nr()
functions remain empty.

There could arise a necessity to obtain the first pte_t from a swap pte_t
located in the middle. For instance, this may occur within the context of
do_swap_page(), where a page fault can potentially occur in any PTE of a
large folio. To address this, the following patch introduces
pte_move_swp_offset(), a function capable of bidirectional movement by a
specified delta argument. Consequently, pte_next_swp_offset() will
directly invoke it with delta = 1.

To streamline maintenance efforts, we propose removing the implementation
of swap_free(). Instead, we can simply invoke swap_free_nr() with nr set
to 1. swap_free_nr() is designed with a bitmap consisting of only one
long, resulting in overhead that can be ignored for cases where nr equals
1.
A prime candidate for leveraging swap_free_nr() lies within
kernel/power/swap.c. Implementing this change facilitates the adoption of
batch processing for hibernation.

Patch series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first", v5.
This patchset is extracted from the large folio swapin series[1],
primarily addressing the handling of scenarios involving large folios in
the swap cache. Currently, it is particularly focused on addressing the
refaulting of mTHP, which is still undergoing reclamation. This approach
aims to streamline code review and expedite the integration of this
segment into the MM tree.
It relies on Ryan's swap-out series[2], leveraging the helper function
swap_pte_batch() introduced by that series.
Presently, do_swap_page only encounters a large folio in the swap cache
before the large folio is released by vmscan. However, the code should
remain equally useful once we support large folio swap-in via
swapin_readahead(). This approach can effectively reduce page faults and
eliminate most redundant checks and early exits for MTE restoration in
recent MTE patchset[3].
The large folio swap-in for SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO and swapin_readahead() will
be split into separate patch sets and sent at a later time.

This patch (of 6):
While swapping in a large folio, we need to free swaps related to the
whole folio. To avoid frequently acquiring and releasing swap locks, it
is better to introduce an API for batched free. Furthermore, this new
function, swap_free_nr(), is designed to efficiently handle various
scenarios for releasing a specified number, nr, of swap entries.

A lot of intricacies go into updating the stats when adding or removing
mappings: which stat index to use and which function. Abstract this away
into a new static helper in rmap.c, __folio_mod_stat().
This adds an unnecessary call to folio_test_anon() in
__folio_add_anon_rmap() and __folio_add_file_rmap(). However, the folio
struct should already be in the cache at this point, so it shouldn't cause
any noticeable overhead.
No functional change intended.

introduce a new MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode to allow to offload the copy to
a device DMA engine, which is only used __migrate_device_pages() to decide
whether or not copy the old page, and the MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode only
used in hmm, a easy way is just to call the folio_migrate_mapping() and
folio_migrate_flags(), which help to remove the MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode.
This patch (of 5):
Use filemap_migrate_folio() helper to simplify __buffer_migrate_folio().

Execs of dynamically linked binaries at 20-ish cores are bottlenecked on
the i_mmap_rwsem semaphore, while the biggest singular contributor is
free_pgd_range inducing the lock acquire back-to-back for all consecutive
mappings of a given file.
Tracing the count of said acquires while building the kernel shows:
[1, 2) 799579 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@|
[2, 3) 0 | |
[3, 4) 3009 | |
[4, 5) 3009 | |
[5, 6) 326442 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ |
So in particular there were 326442 opportunities to coalesce 5 acquires
into 1.
Doing so increases execs per second by 4% (~50k to ~52k) when running
the benchmark linked below.
The lock remains the main bottleneck, I have not looked at other spots
yet.
Bench can be found here:
http://apollo.backplane.com/DFlyMisc/doexec.c
$ cc -O2 -o shared-doexec doexec.c
$ ./shared-doexec $(nproc)
Note this particular test makes sure binaries are separate, but the
loader is shared.
Stats collected on the patched kernel (+ "noinline") with:
bpftrace -e 'kprobe:unlink_file_vma_batch_process
{ @ = lhist(((struct unlink_vma_file_batch *)arg0)->count, 0, 8, 1); }'

While handling hwpoison in a THP page, it is possible that
try_to_split_thp_page() fails. For example, when the THP page has been
RDMA pinned. At this point, the kernel cannot isolate the poisoned THP
page, all it could do is to send a SIGBUS to the user process with
meaningful payload to give user-level recovery a chance.

The soft hwpoison injector via madvise(MADV_HWPOISON) operates in a
synchrous way in a sense, the injector is also a process under test, and
should it have the poisoned page mapped in its address space, it should
get killed as much as in a real UE situation. Doing so align with what
the madvise(2) man page says: " "This operation may result in the calling
process receiving a SIGBUS and the page being unmapped."

Patch series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection", v4.
This series is aimed at the following enhancements:
- Let one hwpoison injector, that is, madvise(MADV_HWPOISON) to behave
more like as if a real UE occurred. Because the other two injectors
such as hwpoison-inject and the 'einj' on x86 can't, and it seems to me
we need a better simulation to real UE scenario.
- For years, if the kernel is unable to unmap a hwpoisoned page, it send
a SIGKILL instead of SIGBUS to prevent user process from potentially
accessing the page again. But in doing so, the user process also lose
important information: vaddr, for recovery. Fortunately, the kernel
already has code to kill process re-accessing a hwpoisoned page, so
remove the '!unmap_success' check.
- Right now, if a thp page under GUP longterm pin is hwpoisoned, and
kernel cannot split the thp page, memory-failure simply ignores the UE
and returns. That's not ideal, it could deliver a SIGBUS with useful
information for userspace recovery.
This patch (of 5):
For years when it comes down to kill a process due to hwpoison, a SIGBUS
is delivered only if unmap has been successful. Otherwise, a SIGKILL is
delivered. And the reason for that is to prevent the involved process
from accessing the hwpoisoned page again.
Since then a lot has changed, a hwpoisoned page is marked and upon being
re-accessed, the memory-failure handler invokes kill_accessing_process()
to kill the process immediately. So let's take out the '!unmap_success'
factor and try to deliver SIGBUS if possible.

and vmf_insert_mixed()
For now we only get the (small) zeropage mapped to user space in four
cases (excluding VM_PFNMAP mappings, such as /proc/vmstat):
(1) Read page faults in anonymous VMAs (MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON):
do_anonymous_page() will not refcount it and map it pte_mkspecial()
(2) UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE on anonymous VMA or COW mapping of shmem
(MAP_PRIVATE). mfill_atomic_pte_zeropage() will not refcount it and
map it pte_mkspecial().
(3) KSM in mergeable VMA (anonymous VMA or COW mapping).
cmp_and_merge_page() will not refcount it and map it
pte_mkspecial().
(4) FSDAX as an optimization for holes.
vmf_insert_mixed()->__vm_insert_mixed() might end up calling
insert_page() without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL, refcounting the
zeropage and not mapping it pte_mkspecial(). With
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL, we'll call insert_pfn() where we will
not refcount it and map it pte_mkspecial().
In case (4), we might not have VM_MIXEDMAP set: while fs/fuse/dax.c sets
VM_MIXEDMAP, we removed it for ext4 fsdax in commit e1fb4a086495 ("dax:
remove VM_MIXEDMAP for fsdax and device dax") and for XFS in commit
e1fb4a086495 ("dax: remove VM_MIXEDMAP for fsdax and device dax").
Without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL and with VM_MIXEDMAP, vm_normal_page()
would currently return the zeropage. We'll refcount the zeropage when
mapping and when unmapping.
Without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL and without VM_MIXEDMAP,
vm_normal_page() would currently refuse to return the zeropage. So we'd
refcount it when mapping but not when unmapping it ... do we have fsdax
without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL in practice? Hard to tell.
Independent of that, we should never refcount the zeropage when we might
be holding that reference for a long time, because even without an
accounting imbalance we might overflow the refcount. As there is interest
in using the zeropage also in other VM_MIXEDMAP mappings, let's add clean
support for that in the cases where it makes sense:
(A) Never refcount the zeropage when mapping it:
In insert_page(), special-case the zeropage, do not refcount it, and use
pte_mkspecial(). Don't involve insert_pfn(), adjusting insert_page()
looks cleaner than branching off to insert_pfn().
(B) Never refcount the zeropage when unmapping it:
In vm_normal_page(), also don't return the zeropage in a VM_MIXEDMAP
mapping without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL. Add a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE()
sanity check if we'd ever return the zeropage, which could happen if
someone forgets to set pte_mkspecial() when mapping the zeropage.
Document that.
(C) Allow the zeropage only where reasonable
s390x never wants the zeropage in some processes running legacy KVM guests
that make use of storage keys. So disallow that.
Further, using the zeropage in COW mappings is unproblematic (just what we
do for other COW mappings), because FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE can just unshare it
and GUP with FOLL_LONGTERM would work as expected.
Similarly, mappings that can never have writable PTEs (implying no write
faults) are also not problematic, because nothing could end up mapping the
PTE writable by mistake later. But in case we could have writable PTEs,
we'll only allow the zeropage in FSDAX VMAs, that are incompatible with
GUP and are blocked there completely.
We'll always require the zeropage to be mapped with pte_special().
GUP-fast will reject the zeropage that way, but GUP-slow will allow it.
(Note that GUP does not refcount the zeropage with FOLL_PIN, because there
were issues with overflowing the refcount in the past).
Add sanity checks to can_change_pte_writable() and wp_page_reuse(), to
catch early during testing if we'd ever find a zeropage unexpectedly in
code that wants to upgrade write permissions.
Convert the BUG_ON in vm_mixed_ok() to an ordinary check and simply fail
with VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, like we do for other sanity checks. Drop the stale
comment regarding reserved pages from insert_page().
Note that:
* we won't mess with VM_PFNMAP mappings for now. remap_pfn_range() and
vmf_insert_pfn() would allow the zeropage in some cases and
not refcount it.
* vmf_insert_pfn*() will reject the zeropage in VM_MIXEDMAP
mappings and we'll leave that alone for now. People can simply use
one of the other interfaces.
* we won't bother with the huge zeropage for now. It's never
PTE-mapped and also GUP does not special-case it yet.

Patch series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in vm_insert_page*(),
vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()", v2.
There is interest in mapping zeropages via vm_insert_pages() [1] into
MAP_SHARED mappings.
For now, we only get zeropages in MAP_SHARED mappings via
vmf_insert_mixed() from FSDAX code, and I think it's a bit shaky in some
cases because we refcount the zeropage when mapping it but not necessarily
always when unmapping it ... and we should actually never refcount it.
It's all a bit tricky, especially how zeropages in MAP_SHARED mappings
interact with GUP (FOLL_LONGTERM), mprotect(), write-faults and s390x
forbidding the shared zeropage (rewrite [2] s now upstream).
This series tries to take the careful approach of only allowing the
zeropage where it is likely safe to use (which should cover the existing
FSDAX use case and [1]), preventing that it could accidentally get mapped
writable during a write fault, mprotect() etc, and preventing issues with
FOLL_LONGTERM in the future with other users.
Tested with a patch from Vincent that uses the zeropage in context of
[1].

[2] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240411161441.910170-1-david@redhat.com
This patch (of 3):
We'll now also cover the case where insert_page() is called from
__vm_insert_mixed(), which sounds like the right thing to do.
