2020-08-12mm/vmstat: add events for THP migration without splitAnshuman Khandual
Add following new vmstat events which will help in validating THP migration without split. Statistics reported through these new VM events will help in performance debugging. 1. THP_MIGRATION_SUCCESS 2. THP_MIGRATION_FAILURE 3. THP_MIGRATION_SPLIT In addition, these new events also update normal page migration statistics appropriately via PGMIGRATE_SUCCESS and PGMIGRATE_FAILURE. While here, this updates current trace event 'mm_migrate_pages' to accommodate now available THP statistics.

2020-08-07mm/sparse: cleanup the code surrounding memory_present()Mike Rapoport
After removal of CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP we have two equivalent functions that call memory_present() for each region in memblock.memory: sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() and membocks_present(). Moreover, all architectures have a call to either of these functions preceding the call to sparse_init() and in the most cases they are called one after the other. Mark the regions from memblock.memory as present during sparce_init() by making sparse_init() call memblocks_present(), make memblocks_present() and memory_present() functions static and remove redundant sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() function. Also remove no longer required HAVE_MEMORY_PRESENT configuration option.

2020-08-07mm/sparsemem: enable vmem_altmap support in vmemmap_alloc_block_buf()Anshuman Khandual
There are many instances where vmemap allocation is often switched between regular memory and device memory just based on whether altmap is available or not. vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() is used in various platforms to allocate vmemmap mappings. Lets also enable it to handle altmap based device memory allocation along with existing regular memory allocations. This will help in avoiding the altmap based allocation switch in many places. To summarize there are two different methods to call vmemmap_alloc_block_buf(). vmemmap_alloc_block_buf(size, node, NULL) /* Allocate from system RAM */ vmemmap_alloc_block_buf(size, node, altmap) /* Allocate from altmap */ This converts altmap_alloc_block_buf() into a static function, drops it's entry from the header and updates Documentation/vm/memory-model.rst.

2020-08-07mm, slub: make remaining slub_debug related attributes read-onlyVlastimil Babka
SLUB_DEBUG creates several files under /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/ that can be read to check if the respective debugging options are enabled for given cache. Some options, namely sanity_checks, trace, and failslab can be also enabled and disabled at runtime by writing into the files. The runtime toggling is racy. Some options disable __CMPXCHG_DOUBLE when enabled, which means that in case of concurrent allocations, some can still use __CMPXCHG_DOUBLE and some not, leading to potential corruption. The s->flags field is also not updated or checked atomically. The simplest solution is to remove the runtime toggling. The extended slub_debug boot parameter syntax introduced by earlier patch should allow to fine-tune the debugging configuration during boot with same granularity.

2020-08-07mm, slub: make some slub_debug related attributes read-onlyVlastimil Babka
SLUB_DEBUG creates several files under /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/ that can be read to check if the respective debugging options are enabled for given cache. The options can be also toggled at runtime by writing into the files. Some of those, namely red_zone, poison, and store_user can be toggled only when no objects yet exist in the cache. Vijayanand reports [1] that there is a problem with freelist randomization if changing the debugging option's state results in different number of objects per page, and the random sequence cache needs thus needs to be recomputed. However, another problem is that the check for "no objects yet exist in the cache" is racy, as noted by Jann [2] and fixing that would add overhead or otherwise complicate the allocation/freeing paths. Thus it would be much simpler just to remove the runtime toggling support. The documentation describes it's "In case you forgot to enable debugging on the kernel command line", but the neccessity of having no objects limits its usefulness anyway for many caches. Vijayanand describes an use case [3] where debugging is enabled for all but zram caches for memory overhead reasons, and using the runtime toggles was the only way to achieve such configuration. After the previous patch it's now possible to do that directly from the kernel boot option, so we can remove the dangerous runtime toggles by making the /sys attribute files read-only. While updating it, also improve the documentation of the debugging /sys files.

2020-08-07mm, slub: extend slub_debug syntax for multiple blocksVlastimil Babka
Patch series "slub_debug fixes and improvements". The slub_debug kernel boot parameter can either apply a single set of options to all caches or a list of caches. There is a use case where debugging is applied for all caches and then disabled at runtime for specific caches, for performance and memory consumption reasons [1]. As runtime changes are dangerous, extend the boot parameter syntax so that multiple blocks of either global or slab-specific options can be specified, with blocks delimited by ';'. This will also support the use case of [1] without runtime changes.

2020-05-11mm/hmm: remove the customizable pfn format from hmm_range_faultJason Gunthorpe
Presumably the intent here was that hmm_range_fault() could put the data into some HW specific format and thus avoid some work. However, nothing actually does that, and it isn't clear how anything actually could do that as hmm_range_fault() provides CPU addresses which must be DMA mapped. Perhaps there is some special HW that does not need DMA mapping, but we don't have any examples of this, and the theoretical performance win of avoiding an extra scan over the pfns array doesn't seem worth the complexity. Plus pfns needs to be scanned anyhow to sort out any DEVICE_PRIVATE pages. This version replaces the uint64_t with an usigned long containing a pfn and fixed flags.

2020-05-11mm/hmm: make hmm_range_fault return 0 or -1Jason Gunthorpe
hmm_vma_walk->last is supposed to be updated after every write to the pfns, so that it can be returned by hmm_range_fault(). However, this is not done consistently. Fortunately nothing checks the return code of hmm_range_fault() for anything other than error. More importantly last must be set before returning -EBUSY as it is used to prevent reading an output pfn as an input flags when the loop restarts. For clarity and simplicity make hmm_range_fault() return 0 or -ERRNO. Only set last when returning -EBUSY.

2020-04-07mm/zswap: allow setting default status, compressor and allocator in KconfigMaciej S. Szmigiero
The compressed cache for swap pages (zswap) currently needs from 1 to 3 extra kernel command line parameters in order to make it work: it has to be enabled by adding a "zswap.enabled=1" command line parameter and if one wants a different compressor or pool allocator than the default lzo / zbud combination then these choices also need to be specified on the kernel command line in additional parameters. Using a different compressor and allocator for zswap is actually pretty common as guides often recommend using the lz4 / z3fold pair instead of the default one. In such case it is also necessary to remember to enable the appropriate compression algorithm and pool allocator in the kernel config manually. Let's avoid the need for adding these kernel command line parameters and automatically pull in the dependencies for the selected compressor algorithm and pool allocator by adding an appropriate default switches to Kconfig. The default values for these options match what the code was using previously as its defaults. Signed-off-by: Maciej S.

2020-03-27mm/hmm: remove HMM_FAULT_SNAPSHOTJason Gunthorpe
Now that flags are handled on a fine-grained per-page basis this global flag is redundant and has a confusing overlap with the pfn_flags_mask and default_flags. Normalize the HMM_FAULT_SNAPSHOT behavior into one place. Callers needing the SNAPSHOT behavior should set a pfn_flags_mask and default_flags that always results in a cleared HMM_PFN_VALID. Then no pages will be faulted, and HMM_FAULT_SNAPSHOT is not a special flow that overrides the masking mechanism. As this is the last flag, also remove the flags argument. If future flags are needed they can be part of the struct hmm_range function arguments.

2020-01-31mm/zswap.c: add allocation hysteresis if pool limit is hitVitaly Wool
zswap will always try to shrink pool when zswap is full. If there is a high pressure on zswap it will result in flipping pages in and out zswap pool without any real benefit, and the overall system performance will drop. The previous discussion on this subject [1] ended up with a suggestion to implement a sort of hysteresis to refuse taking pages into zswap pool until it has sufficient space if the limit has been hit. This is my take on this. Hysteresis is controlled with a sysfs-configurable parameter (namely, /sys/kernel/debug/zswap/accept_threhsold_percent). It specifies the threshold at which zswap would start accepting pages again after it became full. Setting this parameter to 100 disables the hysteresis and sets the zswap behavior to pre-hysteresis state.

2019-09-26mm: treewide: clarify pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() namingMark Rutland
The naming of pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() seems to have confused a few people, and until recently arm64 used these erroneously/pointlessly for other levels of page table. To make it incredibly clear that these only apply to the PTE level, and to align with the naming of pgtable_pmd_page_{ctor,dtor}(), let's rename them to pgtable_pte_page_{ctor,dtor}(). These changes were generated with the following shell script: ---- git grep -lw 'pgtable_page_.tor' | while read FILE; do sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_ctor/pgtable_pte_page_ctor/}' $FILE; sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_dtor/pgtable_pte_page_dtor/}' $FILE; done ---- ... with the documentation re-flowed to remain under 80 columns, and whitespace fixed up in macros to keep backslashes aligned.
