Mikulas Patocka reported that commit 1c30844d2dfe ("mm: reclaim small
amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs") "broke"
memory management on parisc.
The machine is not NUMA but the DISCONTIG model creates three pgdats
even though it's a UMA machine for the following ranges
0) Start 0x0000000000000000 End 0x000000003fffffff Size 1024 MB
1) Start 0x0000000100000000 End 0x00000001bfdfffff Size 3070 MB
2) Start 0x0000004040000000 End 0x00000040ffffffff Size 3072 MB
Mikulas reported:
With the patch 1c30844d2, the kernel will incorrectly reclaim the
first zone when it fills up, ignoring the fact that there are two
completely free zones. Basiscally, it limits cache size to 1GiB.
For example, if I run:
# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M count=2048
- with the proper kernel, there should be "Buffers - 2GiB"
when this command finishes. With the patch 1c30844d2, buffers
will consume just 1GiB or slightly more, because the kernel was
incorrectly reclaiming them.
The page allocator and reclaim makes assumptions that pgdats really
represent NUMA nodes and zones represent ranges and makes decisions on
that basis. Watermark boosting for small pgdats leads to unexpected
results even though this would have behaved reasonably on SPARSEMEM.
DISCONTIG is essentially deprecated and even parisc plans to move to
SPARSEMEM so there is no need to be fancy, this patch simply disables
watermark boosting by default on DISCONTIGMEM.

I've discovered following discrepancy in the bindings/net/ethernet.txt
documentation, where it states following:
- nvmem-cells: phandle, reference to an nvmem node for the MAC address;
- nvmem-cell-names: string, should be "mac-address" if nvmem is to be..
which is actually misleading and confusing. There are only two ethernet
drivers in the tree, cadence/macb and davinci which supports this
properties.
This nvmem-cell* properties were introduced in commit 9217e566bdee
("of_net: Implement of_get_nvmem_mac_address helper"), but
commit afa64a72b862 ("of: net: kill of_get_nvmem_mac_address()")
forget to properly clean up this parts.
So this patch fixes the documentation by moving the nvmem-cell*
properties at the appropriate places. While at it, I've removed unused
include as well.

For very short input data (0 - 1 bytes), lzo-rle was not behaving
correctly. Fix this behaviour and update documentation accordingly.
For zero-length input, lzo v0 outputs an end-of-stream marker only,
which was misinterpreted by lzo-rle as a bitstream version number.
Ensure bitstream versions > 0 require a minimum stream length of 5.
Also fixes a bug in handling the tail for very short inputs when a
bitstream version is present.

The series to add memcg accounting to KVM allocations[1] states:
There are many KVM kernel memory allocations which are tied to the
life of the VM process and should be charged to the VM process's
cgroup.
While it is correct to account KVM kernel allocations to the cgroup of
the process that created the VM, it's technically incorrect to state
that the KVM kernel memory allocations are tied to the life of the VM
process. This is because the VM itself, i.e. struct kvm, is not tied to
the life of the process which created it, rather it is tied to the life
of its associated file descriptor. In other words, kvm_destroy_vm() is
not invoked until fput() decrements its associated file's refcount to
zero. A simple example is to fork() in Qemu and have the child sleep
indefinitely; kvm_destroy_vm() isn't called until Qemu closes its file
descriptor *and* the rogue child is killed.
The allocations are guaranteed to be *accounted* to the process which
created the VM, but only because KVM's per-{VM,vCPU} ioctls reject the
ioctl() with -EIO if kvm->mm != current->mm. I.e. the child can keep
the VM "alive" but can't do anything useful with its reference.
Note that because 'struct kvm' also holds a reference to the mm_struct
of its owner, the above behavior also applies to userspace allocations.
Given that mucking with a VM's file descriptor can lead to subtle and
undesirable behavior, e.g. memcg charges persisting after a VM is shut
down, explicitly document a VM's lifecycle and its impact on the VM's
resources.
Alternatively, KVM could aggressively free resources when the creating
process exits, e.g. via mmu_notifier->release(). However, mmu_notifier
isn't guaranteed to be available, and freeing resources when the creator
exits is likely to be error prone and fragile as KVM would need to
ensure that it only freed resources that are truly out of reach. In
practice, the existing behavior shouldn't be problematic as a properly
configured system will prevent a child process from being moved out of
the appropriate cgroup hierarchy, i.e. prevent hiding the process from
the OOM killer, and will prevent an unprivileged user from being able to
to hold a reference to struct kvm via another method, e.g. debugfs.

KVM's API requires thats ioctls must be issued from the same process
that created the VM. In other words, userspace can play games with a
VM's file descriptors, e.g. fork(), SCM_RIGHTS, etc..., but only the
creator can do anything useful. Explicitly reject device ioctls that
are issued by a process other than the VM's creator, and update KVM's
API documentation to extend its requirements to device ioctls.

Per Paolo[1], instantiating multiple VMs in a single process is legal;
but this conflicts with KVM's API documentation, which states:
The only supported use is one virtual machine per process, and one
vcpu per thread.
However, an earlier section in the documentation states:
Only run VM ioctls from the same process (address space) that was used
to create the VM.
and:
Only run vcpu ioctls from the same thread that was used to create the
vcpu.
This suggests that the conflicting documentation is simply an incorrect
ordering of of words, i.e. what's really meant is that a virtual machine
can't be shared across multiple processes and a vCPU can't be shared
across multiple threads.
Tweak the blurb on issuing ioctls to use a more assertive tone, and
rewrite the "supported use" sentence to reference said blurb instead of
poorly restating it in different terms.
Opportunistically add missing punctuation.

The cr4_pae flag is a bit of a misnomer, its purpose is really to track
whether the guest PTE that is being shadowed is a 4-byte entry or an
8-byte entry. Prior to supporting nested EPT, the size of the gpte was
reflected purely by CR4.PAE. KVM fudged things a bit for direct sptes,
but it was mostly harmless since the size of the gpte never mattered.
Now that a spte may be tracking an indirect EPT entry, relying on
CR4.PAE is wrong and ill-named.
For direct shadow pages, force the gpte_size to '1' as they are always
8-byte entries; EPT entries can only be 8-bytes and KVM always uses
8-byte entries for NPT and its identity map (when running with EPT but
not unrestricted guest).
Likewise, nested EPT entries are always 8-bytes. Nested EPT presents a
unique scenario as the size of the entries are not dictated by CR4.PAE,
but neither is the shadow page a direct map. To handle this scenario,
set cr0_wp=1 and smap_andnot_wp=1, an otherwise impossible combination,
to denote a nested EPT shadow page. Use the information to avoid
incorrectly zapping an unsync'd indirect page in __kvm_sync_page().
Providing a consistent and accurate gpte_size fixes a bug reported by
Vitaly where fast_cr3_switch() always fails when switching from L2 to
L1 as kvm_mmu_get_page() would force role.cr4_pae=0 for direct pages,
whereas kvm_calc_mmu_role_common() would set it according to CR4.PAE.

Pull device-dax updates from Dan Williams:
"New device-dax infrastructure to allow persistent memory and other
"reserved" / performance differentiated memories, to be assigned to
the core-mm as "System RAM".
Some users want to use persistent memory as additional volatile
memory. They are willing to cope with potential performance
differences, for example between DRAM and 3D Xpoint, and want to use
typical Linux memory management apis rather than a userspace memory
allocator layered over an mmap() of a dax file. The administration
model is to decide how much Persistent Memory (pmem) to use as System
RAM, create a device-dax-mode namespace of that size, and then assign
it to the core-mm. The rationale for device-dax is that it is a
generic memory-mapping driver that can be layered over any "special
purpose" memory, not just pmem. On subsequent boots udev rules can be
used to restore the memory assignment.
One implication of using pmem as RAM is that mlock() no longer keeps
data off persistent media. For this reason it is recommended to enable
NVDIMM Security (previously merged for 5.0) to encrypt pmem contents
at rest. We considered making this recommendation an actively enforced
requirement, but in the end decided to leave it as a distribution /
administrator policy to allow for emulation and test environments that
lack security capable NVDIMMs.
Summary:
- Replace the /sys/class/dax device model with /sys/bus/dax, and
include a compat driver so distributions can opt-in to the new ABI.
- Allow for an alternative driver for the device-dax address-range
- Introduce the 'kmem' driver to hotplug / assign a device-dax
address-range to the core-mm.
- Arrange for the device-dax target-node to be onlined so that the
newly added memory range can be uniquely referenced by numa apis"
NOTE! I'm not entirely happy with the whole "PMEM as RAM" model because
we currently have special - and very annoying rules in the kernel about
accessing PMEM only with the "MC safe" accessors, because machine checks
inside the regular repeat string copy functions can be fatal in some
(not described) circumstances.
And apparently the PMEM modules can cause that a lot more than regular
RAM. The argument is that this happens because PMEM doesn't necessarily
get scrubbed at boot like RAM does, but that is planned to be added for
the user space tooling.
Quoting Dan from another email:
"The exposure can be reduced in the volatile-RAM case by scanning for
and clearing errors before it is onlined as RAM. The userspace tooling
for that can be in place before v5.1-final. There's also runtime
notifications of errors via acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify() from
background scrubbers on the DIMM devices. With that mechanism the
kernel could proactively clear newly discovered poison in the volatile
case, but that would be additional development more suitable for v5.2.
I understand the concern, and the need to highlight this issue by
tapping the brakes on feature development, but I don't see PMEM as RAM
making the situation worse when the exposure is also there via DAX in
the PMEM case. Volatile-RAM is arguably a safer use case since it's
possible to repair pages where the persistent case needs active
application coordination"
