git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide compile-time checking of percpu area accesses. This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect. - The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code. - The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed. - The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained. - The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime effects are anticipated. - The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark. - The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan noticed when working on the swap code. - The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak user-visible output. - The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's handling of large folios. - The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk() behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of kdamond's walking of DAMON regions. - The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory work for the future removal of page structure fields. - The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter" from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by huge page sizes. - The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings" from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and file-backed mappings. - The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping for pte-mapped large folios. - The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one microbenchmark. - The series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON docs. - The series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed when using CMA on large machines. - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages" from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the page's mapped/unmapped status. - The series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression operations preemptibly. - The series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan encountered while runnimg our selftests. - The series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to determine whether a particular page is a guard page. - The series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply wasn't being effective. - The series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this code. - The series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP Kconfig logic. - The series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for DAMON's aggregation interval tuning. - The series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize vmalloc. - The series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the code easier to follow. - The series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from Shakeel Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase which we accidentally added late last year. - The series "Add a command line option that enables control of how many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas Prescher does that. It allows the careful operator to significantly reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page initialization. - The series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb" from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page balancing code. - The series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters useful and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow and reject filters. Behaviour is made more consistent and the documention is updated accordingly. - The series "Switch zswap to object read/write APIs" from Yosry Ahmed updates zswap to the new object read/write APIs and thus permits the removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc. - The series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang does as it claims. - The series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts" from Alistair Popple regularizes the weird ZONE_DEVICE page refcount handling in DAX, permittig the removal of a number of special-case checks. - The series "refactor mremap and fix bug" from Lorenzo Stoakes is a preparatoty refactoring and cleanup of the mremap() code. - The series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) + CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" from David Hildenbrand reworks the manner in which we determine whether a large folio is known to be mapped exclusively into a single MM. - The series "mm/damon: add sysfs dirs for managing DAMOS filters based on handling layers" from SeongJae Park adds a couple of new sysfs directories to ease the management of DAMON/DAMOS filters. - The series "arch, mm: reduce code duplication in mem_init()" from Mike Rapoport consolidates many per-arch implementations of mem_init() into code generic code, where that is practical. - The series "mm/damon/sysfs: commit parameters online via damon_call()" from SeongJae Park continues the cleaning up of sysfs access to DAMON internal data. - The series "mm: page_ext: Introduce new iteration API" from Luiz Capitulino reworks the page_ext initialization to fix a boot-time crash which was observed with an unusual combination of compile and cmdline options. - The series "Buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) folio split" from Zi Yan reworks the code to split a folio into smaller folios. The main benefit is lessened memory consumption: fewer post-split folios are generated. - The series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split" from Zi Yan reduces the number of xarray xa_nodes which are generated during an xarray split. - The series "drivers/base/memory: Two cleanups" from Gavin Shan performs some maintenance work on the drivers/base/memory code. - The series "Add tracepoints for lowmem reserves, watermarks and totalreserve_pages" from Martin Liu adds some more tracepoints to the page allocator code. - The series "mm/madvise: cleanup requests validations and classifications" from SeongJae Park cleans up some warts which SeongJae observed during his earlier madvise work. - The series "mm/hwpoison: Fix regressions in memory failure handling" from Shuai Xue addresses two quite serious regressions which Shuai has observed in the memory-failure implementation. - The series "mm: reliable huge page allocator" from Johannes Weiner makes huge page allocations cheaper and more reliable by reducing fragmentation. - The series "Minor memcg cleanups & prep for memdescs" from Matthew Wilcox is preparatory work for the future implementation of memdescs. - The series "track memory used by balloon drivers" from Nico Pache introduces a way to track memory used by our various balloon drivers. - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for active pages" from Nhat Pham permits users to filter for active/inactive pages, separately for file and anon pages. - The series "Adding Proactive Memory Reclaim Statistics" from Hao Jia separates the proactive reclaim statistics from the direct reclaim statistics. - The series "mm/vmscan: don't try to reclaim hwpoison folio" from Jinjiang Tu fixes our handling of hwpoisoned pages within the reclaim code. * tag 'mm-stable-2025-03-30-16-52' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (431 commits) mm/page_alloc: remove unnecessary __maybe_unused in order_to_pindex() x86/mm: restore early initialization of high_memory for 32-bits mm/vmscan: don't try to reclaim hwpoison folio mm/hwpoison: introduce folio_contain_hwpoisoned_page() helper cgroup: docs: add pswpin and pswpout items in cgroup v2 doc mm: vmscan: split proactive reclaim statistics from direct reclaim statistics selftests/mm: speed up split_huge_page_test selftests/mm: uffd-unit-tests support for hugepages > 2M docs/mm/damon/design: document active DAMOS filter type mm/damon: implement a new DAMOS filter type for active pages fs/dax: don't disassociate zero page entries MM documentation: add "Unaccepted" meminfo entry selftests/mm: add commentary about 9pfs bugs fork: use __vmalloc_node() for stack allocation docs/mm: Physical Memory: Populate the "Zones" section xen: balloon: update the NR_BALLOON_PAGES state hv_balloon: update the NR_BALLOON_PAGES state balloon_compaction: update the NR_BALLOON_PAGES state meminfo: add a per node counter for balloon drivers mm: remove references to folio in __memcg_kmem_uncharge_page() ...

2024-09-17mm: fix swap_read_folio_zeromap() for large folios with partial zeromapBarry Song
Patch series "mm: enable large folios swap-in support", v9. Currently, we support mTHP swapout but not swapin. This means that once mTHP is swapped out, it will come back as small folios when swapped in. This is particularly detrimental for devices like Android, where more than half of the memory is in swap. The lack of mTHP swapin functionality makes mTHP a showstopper in scenarios that heavily rely on swap. This patchset introduces mTHP swap-in support. It starts with synchronous devices similar to zRAM, aiming to benefit as many users as possible with minimal changes. This patch (of 3): There could be a corner case where the first entry is non-zeromap, but a subsequent entry is zeromap. In this case, we should not let swap_read_folio_zeromap() return false since we will still read corrupted data. Additionally, the iteration of test_bit() is unnecessary and can be replaced with bitmap operations, which are more efficient. We can adopt the style of swap_pte_batch() and folio_pte_batch() to introduce swap_zeromap_batch() which seems to provide the greatest flexibility for the caller. This approach allows the caller to either check if the zeromap status of all entries is consistent or determine the number of contiguous entries with the same status. Since swap_read_folio() can't handle reading a large folio that's partially zeromap and partially non-zeromap, we've moved the code to mm/swap.h so that others, like those working on swap-in, can access it.

The unuse_pte_range() caller only wants the folio while do_swap_page() wants both the page and the folio. Since do_swap_page() already has logic for handling both the folio and the page, move the folio-to-page logic there. This also lets us allocate larger folios in the SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path in future.

2024-07-03mm: swap: remove 'synchronous' argument to swap_read_folio()Yosry Ahmed
Commit [1] introduced IO polling support duding swapin to reduce swap read latency for block devices that can be polled. However later commit [2] removed polling support. Commit [3] removed the remnants of polling support from read_swap_cache_async() and __read_swap_cache_async(). However, it left behind some remnants in swap_read_folio(), the 'synchronous' argument. swap_read_folio() reads the folio synchronously if synchronous=true or if SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO is set in swap_info_struct. The only caller that passes synchronous=true is in do_swap_page() in the SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO case. Hence, the argument is redundant, it is only set to true when the swap read would have been synchronous anyway. Remove it.

2024-07-03mm/swap: reduce swap cache search spaceKairui Song
Currently we use one swap_address_space for every 64M chunk to reduce lock contention, this is like having a set of smaller swap files inside one swap device. But when doing swap cache look up or insert, we are still using the offset of the whole large swap device. This is OK for correctness, as the offset (key) is unique. But Xarray is specially optimized for small indexes, it creates the radix tree levels lazily to be just enough to fit the largest key stored in one Xarray. So we are wasting tree nodes unnecessarily. For 64M chunk it should only take at most 3 levels to contain everything. But if we are using the offset from the whole swap device, the offset (key) value will be way beyond 64M, and so will the tree level. Optimize this by using a new helper swap_cache_index to get a swap entry's unique offset in its own 64M swap_address_space. I see a ~1% performance gain in benchmark and actual workload with high memory pressure. Test with `time memhog 128G` inside a 8G memcg using 128G swap (ramdisk with SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO dropped, tested 3 times, results are stable.

2024-02-20mm/swap: fix race when skipping swapcacheKairui Song
When skipping swapcache for SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO, if two or more threads swapin the same entry at the same time, they get different pages (A, B). Before one thread (T0) finishes the swapin and installs page (A) to the PTE, another thread (T1) could finish swapin of page (B), swap_free the entry, then swap out the possibly modified page reusing the same entry. It breaks the pte_same check in (T0) because PTE value is unchanged, causing ABA problem. Thread (T0) will install a stalled page (A) into the PTE and cause data corruption. One possible callstack is like this: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- do_swap_page() do_swap_page() with same entry <direct swapin path> <direct swapin path> <alloc page A> <alloc page B> swap_read_folio() <- read to page A swap_read_folio() <- read to page B <slow on later locks or interrupt> <finished swapin first> ... set_pte_at() swap_free() <- entry is free <write to page B, now page A stalled> <swap out page B to same swap entry> pte_same() <- Check pass, PTE seems unchanged, but page A is stalled! swap_free() <- page B content lost! set_pte_at() <- staled page A installed! And besides, for ZRAM, swap_free() allows the swap device to discard the entry content, so even if page (B) is not modified, if swap_read_folio() on CPU0 happens later than swap_free() on CPU1, it may also cause data loss. To fix this, reuse swapcache_prepare which will pin the swap entry using the cache flag, and allow only one thread to swap it in, also prevent any parallel code from putting the entry in the cache. Release the pin after PT unlocked. Racers just loop and wait since it's a rare and very short event. A schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(1) call is added to avoid repeated page faults wasting too much CPU, causing livelock or adding too much noise to perf statistics. A similar livelock issue was described in commit 029c4628b2eb ("mm: swap: get rid of livelock in swapin readahead") Reproducer: This race issue can be triggered easily using a well constructed reproducer and patched brd (with a delay in read path) [1]: With latest 6.8 mainline, race caused data loss can be observed easily: $ gcc -g -lpthread test-thread-swap-race.c && ./a.out Polulating 32MB of memory region... Keep swapping out... Starting round 0... Spawning 65536 workers... 32746 workers spawned, wait for done... Round 0: Error on 0x5aa00, expected 32746, got 32743, 3 data loss!

This reproducer spawns multiple threads sharing the same memory region using a small swap device. Every two threads updates mapped pages one by one in opposite direction trying to create a race, with one dedicated thread keep swapping out the data out using madvise. The reproducer created a reproduce rate of about once every 5 minutes, so the race should be totally possible in production. After this patch, I ran the reproducer for over a few hundred rounds and no data loss observed.

This patch (of 13): Move the folio->page conversion into the callers that actually want that. Most of the callers are happier with the folio anyway.

2023-12-12zswap: make shrinking memcg-awareDomenico Cerasuolo
Currently, we only have a single global LRU for zswap. This makes it impossible to perform worload-specific shrinking - an memcg cannot determine which pages in the pool it owns, and often ends up writing pages from other memcgs. This issue has been previously observed in practice and mitigated by simply disabling memcg-initiated shrinking: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230530232435.3097106-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/T/#u This patch fully resolves the issue by replacing the global zswap LRU with memcg- and NUMA-specific LRUs, and modify the reclaim logic: a) When a store attempt hits an memcg limit, it now triggers a synchronous reclaim attempt that, if successful, allows the new hotter page to be accepted by zswap. b) If the store attempt instead hits the global zswap limit, it will trigger an asynchronous reclaim attempt, in which an memcg is selected for reclaim in a round-robin-like fashion.

2023-10-25mempolicy: alloc_pages_mpol() for NUMA policy without vmaHugh Dickins
Shrink shmem's stack usage by eliminating the pseudo-vma from its folio allocation. alloc_pages_mpol(gfp, order, pol, ilx, nid) becomes the principal actor for passing mempolicy choice down to __alloc_pages(), rather than vma_alloc_folio(gfp, order, vma, addr, hugepage). vma_alloc_folio() and alloc_pages() remain, but as wrappers around alloc_pages_mpol(). alloc_pages_bulk_*() untouched, except to provide the additional args to policy_nodemask(), which subsumes policy_node(). Cleanup throughout, cutting out some unhelpful "helpers". It would all be much simpler without MPOL_INTERLEAVE, but that adds a dynamic to the constant mpol: complicated by v3.6 commit 09c231cb8bfd ("tmpfs: distribute interleave better across nodes"), which added ino bias to the interleave, hidden from mm/mempolicy.c until this commit. Hence "ilx" throughout, the "interleave index". Originally I thought it could be done just with nid, but that's wrong: the nodemask may come from the shared policy layer below a shmem vma, or it may come from the task layer above a shmem vma; and without the final nodemask then nodeid cannot be decided. And how ilx is applied depends also on page order. The interleave index is almost always irrelevant unless MPOL_INTERLEAVE: with one exception in alloc_pages_mpol(), where the NO_INTERLEAVE_INDEX passed down from vma-less alloc_pages() is also used as hint not to use THP-style hugepage allocation - to avoid the overhead of a hugepage arg (though I don't understand why we never just added a GFP bit for THP - if it actually needs a different allocation strategy from other pages of the same order). vma_alloc_folio() still carries its hugepage arg here, but it is not used, and should be removed when agreed. get_vma_policy() no longer allows a NULL vma: over time I believe we've eradicated all the places which used to need it e.g. swapoff and madvise used to pass NULL vma to read_swap_cache_async(), but now know the vma.

2023-08-24swap: remove remnants of polling from read_swap_cache_asyncSuren Baghdasaryan
Patch series "Per-VMA lock support for swap and userfaults", v7. When per-VMA locks were introduced in [1] several types of page faults would still fall back to mmap_lock to keep the patchset simple. Among them are swap and userfault pages. The main reason for skipping those cases was the fact that mmap_lock could be dropped while handling these faults and that required additional logic to be implemented. Implement the mechanism to allow per-VMA locks to be dropped for these cases. First, change handle_mm_fault to drop per-VMA locks when returning VM_FAULT_RETRY or VM_FAULT_COMPLETED to be consistent with the way mmap_lock is handled. Then change folio_lock_or_retry to accept vm_fault and return vm_fault_t which simplifies later patches. Finally allow swap and uffd page faults to be handled under per-VMA locks by dropping per-VMA and retrying, the same way it's done under mmap_lock. Naturally, once VMA lock is dropped that VMA should be assumed unstable and can't be used. This patch (of 6): Commit [1] introduced IO polling support duding swapin to reduce swap read latency for block devices that can be polled. However later commit [2] removed polling support. Therefore it seems safe to remove do_poll parameter in read_swap_cache_async and always call swap_readpage with synchronous=false waiting for IO completion in folio_lock_or_retry.

2022-05-09mm: introduce ->swap_rw and use it for reads from SWP_FS_OPS swap-spaceNeilBrown
swap currently uses ->readpage to read swap pages. This can only request one page at a time from the filesystem, which is not most efficient. swap uses ->direct_IO for writes which while this is adequate is an inappropriate over-loading. ->direct_IO may need to had handle allocate space for holes or other details that are not relevant for swap. So this patch introduces a new address_space operation: ->swap_rw. In this patch it is used for reads, and a subsequent patch will switch writes to use it. No filesystem yet supports ->swap_rw, but that is not a problem because no filesystem actually works with filesystem-based swap. Only two filesystems set SWP_FS_OPS: - cifs sets the flag, but ->direct_IO always fails so swap cannot work. - nfs sets the flag, but ->direct_IO calls generic_write_checks() which has failed on swap files for several releases. To ensure that a NULL ->swap_rw isn't called, ->activate_swap() for both NFS and cifs are changed to fail if ->swap_rw is not set. This can be removed if/when the function is added. Future patches will restore swap-over-NFS functionality. To submit an async read with ->swap_rw() we need to allocate a structure to hold the kiocb and other details. swap_readpage() cannot handle transient failure, so we create a mempool to provide the structures.

2022-05-09mm: reclaim mustn't enter FS for SWP_FS_OPS swap-spaceNeilBrown
If swap-out is using filesystem operations (SWP_FS_OPS), then it is not safe to enter the FS for reclaim. So only down-grade the requirement for swap pages to __GFP_IO after checking that SWP_FS_OPS are not being used. This makes the calculation of "may_enter_fs" slightly more complex, so move it into a separate function. with that done, there is little value in maintaining the bool variable any more. So replace the may_enter_fs variable with a may_enter_fs() function. This removes any risk for the variable becoming out-of-date.

Patch series "MM changes to improve swap-over-NFS support". Assorted improvements for swap-via-filesystem. This is a resend of these patches, rebased on current HEAD. The only substantial changes is that swap_dirty_folio has replaced swap_set_page_dirty. Currently swap-via-fs (SWP_FS_OPS) doesn't work for any filesystem. It has previously worked for NFS but that broke a few releases back. This series changes to use a new ->swap_rw rather than ->readpage and ->direct_IO. It also makes other improvements. There is a companion series already in linux-next which fixes various issues with NFS. Once both series land, a final patch is needed which changes NFS over to use ->swap_rw. This patch (of 10): Many functions declared in include/linux/swap.h are only used within mm/ Create a new "mm/swap.h" and move some of these declarations there. Remove the redundant 'extern' from the function declarations.
