large folios
With large folios swap-in, we might need to uncharge multiple entries all
together, add nr argument in mem_cgroup_swapin_uncharge_swap().
For the existing two users, just pass nr=1.

Following query shows that architectures that don't provide
asm/set_memory.h don't use set_memory_...() functions.
$ git grep set_memory_ alpha arc csky hexagon loongarch m68k microblaze mips nios2 openrisc parisc sh sparc um xtensa
Following query shows that all core users of set_memory_...()
functions always take returned value into account:
$ git grep -w -e set_memory_ro -e set_memory_rw -e set_memory_x -e set_memory_nx -e set_memory_rox `find . -maxdepth 1 -type d | grep -v arch | grep /`
set_memory_...() functions can fail, leaving the memory attributes
unchanged. Make sure all callers check the returned code.

Introduce a pair of APIs to follow pfn mappings to get entry information.
It's very similar to what follow_pte() does before, but different in that
it recognizes huge pfn mappings.

There're:
- 8 archs (arc, arm64, include, mips, powerpc, s390, sh, x86) that
support pte_pgprot().
- 2 archs (x86, sparc) that support pmd_pgprot().
- 1 arch (x86) that support pud_pgprot().
Always define them to be used in generic code, and then we don't need to
fiddle with "#ifdef"s when doing so.

This enables PFNMAPs to be mapped at either pmd/pud layers. Generalize the
dax case into vma_is_special_huge() so as to cover both. Meanwhile, rename
the macro to THP_ORDERS_ALL_SPECIAL.

It constantly returns false since 2017. One assertion is added in 2019 but
it should never have triggered, IOW it means what is checked should be
asserted instead.
If it didn't exist for 7 years maybe it's good idea to remove it and only
add it when it comes.

Patch series "mm: Support huge pfnmaps", v2.
Overview
========
This series implements huge pfnmaps support for mm in general. Huge
pfnmap allows e.g. VM_PFNMAP vmas to map in either PMD or PUD levels,
similar to what we do with dax / thp / hugetlb so far to benefit from TLB
hits. Now we extend that idea to PFN mappings, e.g. PCI MMIO bars where
it can grow as large as 8GB or even bigger.
Currently, only x86_64 (1G+2M) and arm64 (2M) are supported. The last
patch (from Alex Williamson) will be the first user of huge pfnmap, so as
to enable vfio-pci driver to fault in huge pfn mappings.
Implementation
==============
In reality, it's relatively simple to add such support comparing to many
other types of mappings, because of PFNMAP's specialties when there's no
vmemmap backing it, so that most of the kernel routines on huge mappings
should simply already fail for them, like GUPs or old-school follow_page()
(which is recently rewritten to be folio_walk* APIs by David).
One trick here is that we're still unmature on PUDs in generic paths here
and there, as DAX is so far the only user. This patchset will add the 2nd
user of it. Hugetlb can be a 3rd user if the hugetlb unification work can
go on smoothly, but to be discussed later.
The other trick is how to allow gup-fast working for such huge mappings
even if there's no direct sign of knowing whether it's a normal page or
MMIO mapping. This series chose to keep the pte_special solution, so that
it reuses similar idea on setting a special bit to pfnmap PMDs/PUDs so
that gup-fast will be able to identify them and fail properly.
Along the way, we'll also notice that the major pgtable pfn walker, aka,
follow_pte(), will need to retire soon due to the fact that it only works
with ptes. A new set of simple API is introduced (follow_pfnmap* API) to
be able to do whatever follow_pte() can already do, plus that it can also
process huge pfnmaps now. Half of this series is about that and
converting all existing pfnmap walkers to use the new API properly.
Hopefully the new API also looks better to avoid exposing e.g. pgtable
lock details into the callers, so that it can be used in an even more
straightforward way.
Here, three more options will be introduced and involved in huge pfnmap:
- ARCH_SUPPORTS_HUGE_PFNMAP
Arch developers will need to select this option when huge pfnmap is
supported in arch's Kconfig. After this patchset applied, both x86_64
and arm64 will start to enable it by default.
- ARCH_SUPPORTS_PMD_PFNMAP / ARCH_SUPPORTS_PUD_PFNMAP
These options are for driver developers to identify whether current
arch / config supports huge pfnmaps, making decision on whether it can
use the huge pfnmap APIs to inject them. One can refer to the last
vfio-pci patch from Alex on the use of them properly in a device
driver.
So after the whole set applied, and if one would enable some dynamic debug
lines in vfio-pci core files, we should observe things like:
vfio-pci 0000:00:06.0: vfio_pci_mmap_huge_fault(,order = 9) BAR 0 page offset 0x0: 0x100
vfio-pci 0000:00:06.0: vfio_pci_mmap_huge_fault(,order = 9) BAR 0 page offset 0x200: 0x100
vfio-pci 0000:00:06.0: vfio_pci_mmap_huge_fault(,order = 9) BAR 0 page offset 0x400: 0x100
In this specific case, it says that vfio-pci faults in PMDs properly for a
few BAR0 offsets.
Patch Layout
============
Patch 1: Introduce the new options mentioned above for huge PFNMAPs
Patch 2: A tiny cleanup
Patch 3-8: Preparation patches for huge pfnmap (include introduce
special bit for pmd/pud)
Patch 9-16: Introduce follow_pfnmap*() API, use it everywhere, and
then drop follow_pte() API
Patch 17: Add huge pfnmap support for x86_64
Patch 18: Add huge pfnmap support for arm64
Patch 19: Add vfio-pci support for all kinds of huge pfnmaps (Alex)
TODO
====
More architectures / More page sizes
------------------------------------
Currently only x86_64 (2M+1G) and arm64 (2M) are supported. There seems
to have plan to support arm64 1G later on top of this series [2].
Any arch will need to first support THP / THP_1G, then provide a special
bit in pmds/puds to support huge pfnmaps.
remap_pfn_range() support
-------------------------
Currently, remap_pfn_range() still only maps PTEs. With the new option,
remap_pfn_range() can logically start to inject either PMDs or PUDs when
the alignment requirements match on the VAs.
When the support is there, it should be able to silently benefit all
drivers that is using remap_pfn_range() in its mmap() handler on better
TLB hit rate and overall faster MMIO accesses similar to processor on
hugepages.
More driver support
-------------------
VFIO is so far the only consumer for the huge pfnmaps after this series
applied. Besides above remap_pfn_range() generic optimization, device
driver can also try to optimize its mmap() on a better VA alignment for
either PMD/PUD sizes. This may, iiuc, normally require userspace changes,
as the driver doesn't normally decide the VA to map a bar. But I don't
think I know all the drivers to know the full picture.
Credits all go to Alex on help testing the GPU/NIC use cases above.

This patch (of 19):
This patch introduces the option to introduce special pte bit into
pmd/puds. Archs can start to define pmd_special / pud_special when
supported by selecting the new option. Per-arch support will be added
later.
Before that, create fallbacks for these helpers so that they are always
available.

Add pgalloc_tag_copy() to transfer the codetag from the old folio to the
new one during migration. This makes original allocation sites persist
cross migration rather than lump into the get_new_folio callbacks passed
into migrate_pages(), e.g., compaction_alloc():
# echo 1 >/proc/sys/vm/compact_memory
# grep compaction_alloc /proc/allocinfo

The current assumption is that a large folio can only be split into
order-0 folios. That is not the case for hugeTLB demotion, nor for THP
split: see commit c010d47f107f ("mm: thp: split huge page to any lower
order pages").
When a large folio is split into ones of a lower non-zero order, only the
new head pages should be tagged. Tagging tail pages can cause imbalanced
"calls" counters, since only head pages are untagged by pgalloc_tag_sub()
and the "calls" counts on tail pages are leaked, e.g.,
# echo 2048kB >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/demote_size
# echo 700 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
# time echo 700 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/demote
# echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
# grep alloc_gigantic_folio /proc/allocinfo
Before this patch:
0 549427200 mm/hugetlb.c:1549 func:alloc_gigantic_folio
real 0m2.057s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m2.051s

0 0 mm/hugetlb.c:1549 func:alloc_gigantic_folio
real 0m1.711s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m1.704s
Not tagging tail pages also improves the splitting time, e.g., by about
15% when demoting 1GB hugeTLB folios to 2MB ones, as shown above.

Currently, if multiple reclaimers raced on the same position, the
reclaimers which detect the race will still reclaim from the same memcg.
Instead, the reclaimers which detect the race should move on to the next
memcg in the hierarchy.
So, in the case where multiple traversals race, jump back to the start of
the mem_cgroup_iter() function to find the next memcg in the hierarchy to
reclaim from.

Patch series "Improve mem_cgroup_iter()", v4.
Incremental cgroup iteration is being used again [1]. This patchset
improves the reliability of mem_cgroup_iter(). It also improves
simplicity and code readability.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/20240514202641.2821494-1-hannes@cmpxchg.org/
This patch (of 5):
Explicitly document that css sibling/descendant linkage is protected by
cgroup_mutex or RCU. Also, document in css_next_descendant_pre() and
similar functions that it isn't necessary to hold a ref on @pos.
The following changes in this patchset rely on this clarification for
simplification in memcg iteration code.

The problem is that uprobe_clear_state() kfree's struct xol_area, which
contains struct vm_special_mapping *xol_mapping. This one is passed to
_install_special_mapping() in xol_add_vma().
__mput reads:
static inline void __mmput(struct mm_struct *mm)
{
VM_BUG_ON(atomic_read(&mm->mm_users));
uprobe_clear_state(mm);
exit_aio(mm);
ksm_exit(mm);
khugepaged_exit(mm); /* must run before exit_mmap */
exit_mmap(mm);
...
}
So uprobe_clear_state() in the beginning free's the memory area
containing the vm_special_mapping data, but exit_mmap() uses this
address later via vma->vm_private_data (which was set in
_install_special_mapping().
Fix this by moving uprobe_clear_state() to uprobes.c and use it as
close() callback.

In preparation for using vm_flags to ensure guard pages for shadow stacks
supply them as an argument to generic_get_unmapped_area(). The only user
outside of the core code is the PowerPC book3s64 implementation which is
trivially wrapping the generic implementation in the radix_enabled() case.

Patch series "mm: Care about shadow stack guard gap when getting an
unmapped area", v2.
As covered in the commit log for c44357c2e76b ("x86/mm: care about shadow
stack guard gap during placement") our current mmap() implementation does
not take care to ensure that a new mapping isn't placed with existing
mappings inside it's own guard gaps. This is particularly important for
shadow stacks since if two shadow stacks end up getting placed adjacent to
each other then they can overflow into each other which weakens the
protection offered by the feature.
On x86 there is a custom arch_get_unmapped_area() which was updated by the
above commit to cover this case by specifying a start_gap for allocations
with VM_SHADOW_STACK. Both arm64 and RISC-V have equivalent features and
use the generic implementation of arch_get_unmapped_area() so let's make
the equivalent change there so they also don't get shadow stack pages
placed without guard pages. The arm64 and RISC-V shadow stack
implementations are currently on the list:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240829-arm64-gcs-v12-0-42fec94743
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240403234054.2020347-1-debug@rivosinc.com/
Given the addition of the use of vm_flags in the generic implementation we
also simplify the set of possibilities that have to be dealt with in the
core code by making arch_get_unmapped_area() take vm_flags as standard.
This is a bit invasive since the prototype change touches quite a few
architectures but since the parameter is ignored the change is
straightforward, the simplification for the generic code seems worth it.
This patch (of 3):
When we introduced arch_get_unmapped_area_vmflags() in 961148704acd ("mm:
introduce arch_get_unmapped_area_vmflags()") we did so as part of properly
supporting guard pages for shadow stacks on x86_64, which uses a custom
arch_get_unmapped_area(). Equivalent features are also present on both
arm64 and RISC-V, both of which use the generic implementation of
arch_get_unmapped_area() and will require equivalent modification there.
Rather than continue to deal with having two versions of the functions
let's bite the bullet and have all implementations of
arch_get_unmapped_area() take vm_flags as a parameter.
The new parameter is currently ignored by all implementations other than
x86. The only caller that doesn't have a vm_flags available is
mm_get_unmapped_area(), as for the x86 implementation and the wrapper used
on other architectures this is modified to supply no flags.
No functional changes.

Take the end of a file write into consideration when deciding whether or
not to use huge pages for tmpfs files when the tmpfs filesystem is mounted
with huge=within_size
This allows large writes that append to the end of a file to automatically
use large pages.
Doing 4MB sequential writes without fallocate to a 16GB tmpfs file with
fio. The numbers without THP or with huge=always stay the same, but the
performance with huge=within_size now matches that of huge=always.

Patch series "zram: introduce custom comp backends API", v7.
This series introduces support for run-time compression algorithms tuning,
so users, for instance, can adjust compression/acceleration levels and
provide pre-trained compression/decompression dictionaries which certain
algorithms support.
At this point we stop supporting (old/deprecated) comp API. We may add
new acomp API support in the future, but before that zram needs to undergo
some major rework (we are not ready for async compression).
Some benchmarks for reference (look at column #2)

This is an attempt to mitigate the issue of running out of memory when THP
is always enabled. During runtime whenever a THP is being faulted in
(__do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page) or collapsed by khugepaged
(collapse_huge_page), the THP is added to _deferred_list. Whenever memory
reclaim happens in linux, the kernel runs the deferred_split shrinker
which goes through the _deferred_list.
If the folio was partially mapped, the shrinker attempts to split it. If
the folio is not partially mapped, the shrinker checks if the THP was
underused, i.e. how many of the base 4K pages of the entire THP were
zero-filled. If this number goes above a certain threshold (decided by
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_none), the
shrinker will attempt to split that THP. Then at remap time, the pages
that were zero-filled are mapped to the shared zeropage, hence saving
memory.

Currently folio->_deferred_list is used to keep track of partially_mapped
folios that are going to be split under memory pressure. In the next
patch, all THPs that are faulted in and collapsed by khugepaged are also
going to be tracked using _deferred_list.
This patch introduces a pageflag to be able to distinguish between
partially mapped folios and others in the deferred_list at split time in
deferred_split_scan. Its needed as __folio_remove_rmap decrements
_mapcount, _large_mapcount and _entire_mapcount, hence it won't be
possible to distinguish between partially mapped folios and others in
deferred_split_scan.
Eventhough it introduces an extra flag to track if the folio is partially
mapped, there is no functional change intended with this patch and the
flag is not useful in this patch itself, it will become useful in the next
patch when _deferred_list has non partially mapped folios.

Patch series "mm: split underused THPs", v5.
The current upstream default policy for THP is always. However, Meta uses
madvise in production as the current THP=always policy vastly
overprovisions THPs in sparsely accessed memory areas, resulting in
excessive memory pressure and premature OOM killing. Using madvise +
relying on khugepaged has certain drawbacks over THP=always. Using
madvise hints mean THPs aren't "transparent" and require userspace
changes. Waiting for khugepaged to scan memory and collapse pages into
THP can be slow and unpredictable in terms of performance (i.e. you dont
know when the collapse will happen), while production environments require
predictable performance. If there is enough memory available, its better
for both performance and predictability to have a THP from fault time,
i.e. THP=always rather than wait for khugepaged to collapse it, and deal
with sparsely populated THPs when the system is running out of memory.
This patch series is an attempt to mitigate the issue of running out of
memory when THP is always enabled. During runtime whenever a THP is being
faulted in or collapsed by khugepaged, the THP is added to a list.
Whenever memory reclaim happens, the kernel runs the deferred_split
shrinker which goes through the list and checks if the THP was underused,
i.e. how many of the base 4K pages of the entire THP were zero-filled.
If this number goes above a certain threshold, the shrinker will attempt
to split that THP. Then at remap time, the pages that were zero-filled
are mapped to the shared zeropage, hence saving memory. This method
avoids the downside of wasting memory in areas where THP is sparsely
filled when THP is always enabled, while still providing the upside THPs
like reduced TLB misses without having to use madvise.
Meta production workloads that were CPU bound (>99% CPU utilzation) were
tested with THP shrinker. The results after 2 hours are as follows:
| THP=madvise | THP=always | THP=always
| | | + shrinker series
| | | + max_ptes_none=409
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Performance improvement | - | +1.8% | +1.7%
(over THP=madvise) | | |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Memory usage | 54.6G | 58.8G (+7.7%) | 55.9G (+2.4%)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
max_ptes_none=409 means that any THP that has more than 409 out of 512
(80%) zero filled filled pages will be split.
To test out the patches, the below commands without the shrinker will
invoke OOM killer immediately and kill stress, but will not fail with the
shrinker:
echo 450 > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_none
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cgroup.procs
echo 20M > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.max
echo 0 > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.swap.max
# allocate twice memory.max for each stress worker and touch 40/512 of
# each THP, i.e. vm-stride 50K.
# With the shrinker, max_ptes_none of 470 and below won't invoke OOM
# killer.
# Without the shrinker, OOM killer is invoked immediately irrespective
# of max_ptes_none value and kills stress.
stress --vm 1 --vm-bytes 40M --vm-stride 50K
This patch (of 5):
Here being unused means containing only zeros and inaccessible to
userspace. When splitting an isolated thp under reclaim or migration, the
unused subpages can be mapped to the shared zeropage, hence saving memory.
This is particularly helpful when the internal fragmentation of a thp is
high, i.e. it has many untouched subpages.
This is also a prerequisite for THP low utilization shrinker which will be
introduced in later patches, where underutilized THPs are split, and the
zero-filled pages are freed saving memory.

manner
Three points for this change:
1. We should consolidate all warnings in one place. Currently, the
order > 1 warning is in the hotpath, while others are in less
likely scenarios. Moving all warnings to the slowpath will reduce
the overhead for order > 1 and increase the visibility of other
warnings.
2. We currently have two warnings for order: one for order > 1 in
the hotpath and another for order > costly_order in the laziest
path. I suggest standardizing on order > 1 since it's been in
use for a long time.
3. We don't need to check for __GFP_NOWARN in this case. __GFP_NOWARN
is meant to suppress allocation failure reports, but here we're
dealing with bug detection, not allocation failures. So replace
WARN_ON_ONCE_GFP by WARN_ON_ONCE.

Patch series "replace per-quota region priorities histogram buffer with
per-context one".
Each DAMOS quota (struct damos_quota) maintains a histogram for total
regions size per its prioritization score. DAMOS calcultes minimum
prioritization score of regions that are ok to apply the DAMOS action to
while respecting the quota. The histogram is constructed only for the
calculation of the minimum score in damos_adjust_quota() for each quota
which called by kdamond_fn().
Hence, there is no real reason to have per-quota histogram. Only
per-kdamond histogram is needed, since parallel kdamonds could have races
otherwise. The current implementation is only wasting the memory, and can
easily cause unintended stack usage[1].
So, introducing a per-kdamond histogram and replacing the per-quota one
with it would be the right solution for the issue. However, supporting
multiple DAMON contexts per kdamond is still an ongoing work[2] without a
clear estimated time of arrival. Meanwhile, per-context histogram could
be an effective and straightforward solution having no blocker. Let's fix
the problem first in the way.
This patch (of 4):
Introduce per-context buffer for region priority scores-total size
histogram. Same to the per-quota one (->histogram of struct damos_quota),
the new buffer is hidden from DAMON API users by being defined as a
private field of DAMON context structure. It is dynamically allocated and
de-allocated at the beginning and ending of the execution of the kdamond
by kdamond_fn() itself.

When a THP is added to the deferred_list due to partially mapped, its
partial pages are unused, leading to wasted memory and potentially
increasing memory reclamation pressure.
Detailing the specifics of how unmapping occurs is quite difficult and not
that useful, so we adopt a simple approach: each time a THP enters the
deferred_list, we increment the count by 1; whenever it leaves for any
reason, we decrement the count by 1.

Patch series "mm: count the number of anonymous THPs per size", v4.
Knowing the number of transparent anon THPs in the system is crucial
for performance analysis. It helps in understanding the ratio and
distribution of THPs versus small folios throughout the system.
Additionally, partial unmapping by userspace can lead to significant waste
of THPs over time and increase memory reclamation pressure. We need this
information for comprehensive system tuning.
This patch (of 2):
Let's track for each anonymous THP size, how many of them are currently
allocated. We'll track the complete lifespan of an anon THP, starting
when it becomes an anon THP ("large anon folio") (->mapping gets set),
until it gets freed (->mapping gets cleared).
Introduce a new "nr_anon" counter per THP size and adjust the
corresponding counter in the following cases:
* We allocate a new THP and call folio_add_new_anon_rmap() to map
it the first time and turn it into an anon THP.
* We split an anon THP into multiple smaller ones.
* We migrate an anon THP, when we prepare the destination.
* We free an anon THP back to the buddy.
Note that AnonPages in /proc/meminfo currently tracks the total number of
*mapped* anonymous *pages*, and therefore has slightly different
semantics. In the future, we might also want to track "nr_anon_mapped"
for each THP size, which might be helpful when comparing it to the number
of allocated anon THPs (long-term pinning, stuck in swapcache, memory
leaks, ...).
Further note that for now, we only track anon THPs after they got their
->mapping set, for example via folio_add_new_anon_rmap(). If we would
allocate some in the swapcache, they will only show up in the statistics
for now after they have been mapped to user space the first time, where we
call folio_add_new_anon_rmap().

Patch series "Shmem mTHP controls and stats improvements", v3.
This is a small series to tidy up the way the shmem controls and stats are
exposed. These patches were previously part of the series at [2], but I
decided to split them out since they can go in independently.
This patch (of 2):
Let's move count_mthp_stat() so that it's always defined, even when THP is
disabled. Previously uses of the function in files such as shmem.c, which
are compiled even when THP is disabled, required ugly THP ifdeferry. With
this cleanup, we can remove those ifdefs and the function resolves to a
nop when THP is disabled.
I shortly plan to call count_mthp_stat() from more THP-invariant source
files.

The do_vma_munmap() wrapper existed for callers that didn't have a vma
iterator and needed to check the vma mseal status prior to calling the
underlying munmap(). All callers now use a vma iterator and since the
mseal check has been moved to do_vmi_align_munmap() and the vmas are
aligned, this function can just be called instead.
do_vmi_align_munmap() can no longer be static as ipc/shm is using it and
it is exported via the mm.h header.

Patch series "mm: store zero pages to be swapped out in a bitmap", v8.
As shown in the patch series that introduced the zswap same-filled
optimization [1], 10-20% of the pages stored in zswap are same-filled.
This is also observed across Meta's server fleet. By using VM counters in
swap_writepage (not included in this patchseries) it was found that less
than 1% of the same-filled pages to be swapped out are non-zero pages.
For conventional swap setup (without zswap), rather than reading/writing
these pages to flash resulting in increased I/O and flash wear, a bitmap
can be used to mark these pages as zero at write time, and the pages can
be filled at read time if the bit corresponding to the page is set.
When using zswap with swap, this also means that a zswap_entry does not
need to be allocated for zero filled pages resulting in memory savings
which would offset the memory used for the bitmap.
A similar attempt was made earlier in [2] where zswap would only track
zero-filled pages instead of same-filled. This patchseries adds
zero-filled pages optimization to swap (hence it can be used even if zswap
is disabled) and removes the same-filled code from zswap (as only 1% of
the same-filled pages are non-zero), simplifying code.

Patch series "Simplify the page flags a little".
In the course of our folio conversions, we have made many page flags only
used on folios, so we can now remove the page-based accessors. This
should cut down compile time a little, and prevent new users from cropping
up.
There is more that could be done in this area, but it would produce merge
conflicts, so I'll sit on those patches until next merge window. We now
have line of sight to removing PG_private_2 and PG_private.
This patch (of 10):
This flag is now only used on folios, so we can remove all the page
accessors.

By using a few values in the top byte, users of page_type can store up to
24 bits of additional data in page_type. It also reduces the code size as
(with replacement of READ_ONCE() with data_race()), the kernel can check
just a single byte. eg:
ffffffff811e3a79: 8b 47 30 mov 0x30(%rdi),%eax
ffffffff811e3a7c: 55 push %rbp
ffffffff811e3a7d: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
ffffffff811e3a80: 25 00 00 00 82 and $0x82000000,%eax
ffffffff811e3a85: 3d 00 00 00 80 cmp $0x80000000,%eax
ffffffff811e3a8a: 74 4d je ffffffff811e3ad9 <folio_mapping+0x69>
becomes:
ffffffff811e3a69: 80 7f 33 f5 cmpb $0xf5,0x33(%rdi)
ffffffff811e3a6d: 55 push %rbp
ffffffff811e3a6e: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
ffffffff811e3a71: 74 4d je ffffffff811e3ac0 <folio_mapping+0x60>
replacing three instructions with one.

Patch series "Increase the number of bits available in page_type".
Kent wants more than 16 bits in page_type, so I resurrected this old patch
and expanded it a bit. It's a bit more efficient than our current scheme
(1 4-byte insn vs 3 insns of 13 bytes total) to test a single page type.
This patch (of 4):
An upcoming patch will convert page type from being a bitfield to a
single byte, so we will not be able to use %pG to print the page type
any more. The printing of the symbolic name will be restored in that
patch.

Readahead support for IOCB_NOWAIT was introduced in commit 2e85abf053b9
("mm: allow read-ahead with IOCB_NOWAIT set"). However, this
implementation broke the semantics of IOCB_NOWAIT by potentially causing
it to wait on I/O during memory reclamation. This behavior was later
modified in commit efa8480a8316 ("fs: RWF_NOWAIT should imply IOCB_NOIO").
To resolve the blocking issue during memory reclamation, we can use
memalloc_noio_{save,restore} to ensure non-blocking behavior. This change
restores the original functionality, allowing preadv2(IOCB_NOWAIT) to
trigger readahead if the file content is not present in the page cache.
While this process may trigger direct memory reclamation, the
__GFP_NORETRY flag is set in the readahead GFP flags, ensuring it won't
block.
A use case for this change is when we want to trigger readahead in the
preadv2(2) syscall if the file cache is absent, but without waiting for
certain filesystem locks, like xfs_ilock. A simple example is as follows:
retry:
if (preadv2(fd, iovec, cnt, offset, RWF_NOWAIT) < 0) {
do_other_work();
goto retry;
}

We already force-inline page_fixed_fake_head(), page_is_fake_head() and
PageTail(), however the compiler might decide that _compound_head() is not
worthy to be inlined, because of page_fixed_fake_head().
The result is that, for example, PageAnonExclusive() now might involve a
function call when checking PageHuge(), which performs a
page_folio()->_compound_head() call. This can lead to a slight regression
of the stress-ng.clone benchmark.
This is not super-urgent to fix, but always inlining _compound_head()
seems like the obvious thing to do for this primitive, similar to the
other ones.
This change restores the slight regression and a compilation with
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP=y shows no relevant bloat [2]:

Add ERR_PTR_PCPU(), PTR_ERR_PCPU() and IS_ERR_PCPU() macros that operate
on pointers in the percpu address space.
These macros remove the need for (__force void *) function argument casts
(to avoid sparse -Wcast-from-as warnings).
The patch will also avoid future build errors due to pointer address space
mismatch with enabled strict percpu address space checks.

Properly document that if __GFP_ZERO logic is requested, callers must
ensure that, starting with the initial memory allocation, every subsequent
call to this API for the same memory allocation is flagged with
__GFP_ZERO. Otherwise, it is possible that __GFP_ZERO is not fully
honored by this API.
