vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David
Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of
the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects
here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing.
- Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling
of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is
"Restructure va_high_addr_switch".

- Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has
reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly
common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark.
It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless
all CPUs are pegged.
- hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series
"mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes".
- Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that

modernizing its use of pageframe fields.
- Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove
page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()".
- More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series
"mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for
!ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline()
pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks.
- Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and
__folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in
preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin.

implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large
folio userspace copying.

with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park.
- A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does
that.
- David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the
migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault
folio isolation + checks under PTL".

the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various
readahead quirks".
- SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and
{min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's
self testing code.
- Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache
code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported
by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable.
- Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations
and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM.
- Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of
code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code
Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put
under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg
data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1"
- Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim"
adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file.
- The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan
permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of
excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to
monitor and handle this situation.

migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration
from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing.
- SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements"
does those things.
- In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock"
Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory
utilization.
- Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for
pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than
bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if
they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block.
- Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to
/proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series
is "query VMAs from /proc/<pid>/maps".
- In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance
Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information
related to multisize THP splitting.
- Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages
without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits
userspace to use all available huge page sizes.
- In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault
injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and
not very useful feature from slab fault injection.

The congestion_count was introduced into the struct cgroup by
commit d09d8df3a294 ("blkcg: add generic throttling mechanism"),
but since it is closely related to the blkio subsys, it is not
appropriate to put it in the struct cgroup, so let's move it to
struct blkcg. There should be no functional changes because blkcg
is per cgroup.

Unlike other cgroup subsystems, the hugetlb cgroup does not provide a
static array of cftype that explicitly displays the properties, handling
functions, etc., of each file. Instead, it dynamically creates the
attribute of cftypes based on the hstate during the startup procedure.
This reduces the readability of the code.
To fix this issue, introduce two templates of cftypes, and rebuild the
attributes according to the hstate to make it ready to be added to cgroup
framework.

For lockdep, there is a sanity check in lockdep_init_map_type(), the
lock-class key must either have been allocated statically or must
have been registered as a dynamic key. However the commit e18df2889ff9
("mm/hugetlb_cgroup: prepare cftypes based on template") has changed
the cftypes from static allocated objects to dynamic allocated objects,
so the cft->lockdep_key must be registered proactively.

Currently, when pids.max limit is breached in the hierarchy, the event is counted and reported in the cgroup where the forking task resides. This decouples the limit and the notification caused by the limit making it hard to detect when the actual limit was effected. Redefine the pids.events:max as: the number of times the limit of the cgroup was hit. (Implementation differentiates also "forkfail" event but this is currently not exposed as it would better fit into pids.stat. It also differs from pids.events:max only when pids.max is configured on non-leaf cgroups.) Since it changes semantics of the original "max" event, introduce this change only in the v2 API of the controller and add a cgroup2 mount option to revert to the legacy behavior.

Commit d23b5c577715 ("cgroup: Make operations on the cgroup root_list RCU
safe") adds a new rcu_head to the cgroup_root structure and kvfree_rcu()
for freeing the cgroup_root.
The current implementation of kvfree_rcu(), however, has the limitation
that the offset of the rcu_head structure within the larger data
structure must be less than 4096 or the compilation will fail. See the
macro definition of __is_kvfree_rcu_offset() in include/linux/rcupdate.h
for more information.
By putting rcu_head below the large cgroup structure, any change to the
cgroup structure that makes it larger run the risk of causing build
failure under certain configurations. Commit 77070eeb8821 ("cgroup:
Avoid false cacheline sharing of read mostly rstat_cpu") happens to be
the last straw that breaks it. Fix this problem by moving the rcu_head
structure up before the cgroup structure.

The rstat_cpu and also rstat_css_list of the cgroup structure are read
mostly variables. However, they may share the same cacheline as the
subsequent rstat_flush_next and *bstat variables which can be updated
frequently. That will slow down the cgroup_rstat_cpu() call which is
called pretty frequently in the rstat code. Add a CACHELINE_PADDING()
line in between them to avoid false cacheline sharing.
A parallel kernel build on a 2-socket x86-64 server is used as the

When cgroup_rstat_updated() isn't being called concurrently with
cgroup_rstat_flush_locked(), its run time is pretty short. When
both are called concurrently, the cgroup_rstat_updated() run time
can spike to a pretty high value due to high cpu_lock hold time in
cgroup_rstat_flush_locked(). This can be problematic if the task calling
cgroup_rstat_updated() is a realtime task running on an isolated CPU
with a strict latency requirement. The cgroup_rstat_updated() call can
happen when there is a page fault even though the task is running in
user space most of the time.
The percpu cpu_lock is used to protect the update tree -
updated_next and updated_children. This protection is only needed when
cgroup_rstat_cpu_pop_updated() is being called. The subsequent flushing
operation which can take a much longer time does not need that protection
as it is already protected by cgroup_rstat_lock.
To reduce the cpu_lock hold time, we need to perform all the
cgroup_rstat_cpu_pop_updated() calls up front with the lock
released afterward before doing any flushing. This patch adds a new
cgroup_rstat_updated_list() function to return a singly linked list of
cgroups to be flushed.
Some instrumentation code are added to measure the cpu_lock hold time
right after lock acquisition to after releasing the lock. Parallel
kernel build on a 2-socket x86-64 server is used as the benchmarking
tool for measuring the lock hold time.
The maximum cpu_lock hold time before and after the patch are 100us and
29us respectively. So the worst case time is reduced to about 30% of
the original. However, there may be some OS or hardware noises like NMI
or SMI in the test system that can worsen the worst case value. Those
noises are usually tuned out in a real production environment to get
a better result.
OTOH, the lock hold time frequency distribution should give a better
idea of the performance benefit of the patch. Below were the frequency
distribution before and after the patch:

At present, when we perform operations on the cgroup root_list, we must hold the cgroup_mutex, which is a relatively heavyweight lock. In reality, we can make operations on this list RCU-safe, eliminating the need to hold the cgroup_mutex during traversal. Modifications to the list only occur in the cgroup root setup and destroy paths, which should be infrequent in a production environment. In contrast, traversal may occur frequently. Therefore, making it RCU-safe would be beneficial. Signed-off-by: Yafang Shao <laoar.shao@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: Do DAMOS tried regions update for only one apply interval
- In the series 'Do not try to access unaccepted memory' Adrian
Hunter provides some fixups for the recently-added 'unaccepted
memory' feature. To increase the feature's checking coverage. 'Plug
a few gaps where RAM is exposed without checking if it is
unaccepted memory'
- In the series 'cleanups for lockless slab shrink' Qi Zheng has done
some maintenance work which is preparation for the lockless slab
shrinking code
- Qi Zheng has redone the earlier (and reverted) attempt to make slab
shrinking lockless in the series 'use refcount+RCU method to
implement lockless slab shrink'
- David Hildenbrand contributes some maintenance work for the rmap
code in the series 'Anon rmap cleanups'
- Kefeng Wang does more folio conversions and some maintenance work
in the migration code. Series 'mm: migrate: more folio conversion
and unification'
- Matthew Wilcox has fixed an issue in the buffer_head code which was
causing long stalls under some heavy memory/IO loads. Some cleanups
were added on the way. Series 'Add and use bdev_getblk()'
- In the series 'Use nth_page() in place of direct struct page
manipulation' Zi Yan has fixed a potential issue with the direct
manipulation of hugetlb page frames
- In the series 'mm: hugetlb: Skip initialization of gigantic tail
struct pages if freed by HVO' has improved our handling of gigantic
pages in the hugetlb vmmemmep optimizaton code. This provides
significant boot time improvements when significant amounts of
gigantic pages are in use
- Matthew Wilcox has sent the series 'Small hugetlb cleanups' - code
rationalization and folio conversions in the hugetlb code
- Yin Fengwei has improved mlock()'s handling of large folios in the
series 'support large folio for mlock'
- In the series 'Expose swapcache stat for memcg v1' Liu Shixin has
added statistics for memcg v1 users which are available (and
useful) under memcg v2
- Florent Revest has enhanced the MDWE (Memory-Deny-Write-Executable)
prctl so that userspace may direct the kernel to not automatically
propagate the denial to child processes. The series is named 'MDWE
without inheritance'
- Kefeng Wang has provided the series 'mm: convert numa balancing
functions to use a folio' which does what it says
- In the series 'mm/ksm: add fork-exec support for prctl' Stefan
Roesch makes is possible for a process to propagate KSM treatment
across exec()
- Huang Ying has enhanced memory tiering's calculation of memory
distances. This is used to permit the dax/kmem driver to use 'high
bandwidth memory' in addition to Optane Data Center Persistent
Memory Modules (DCPMM). The series is named 'memory tiering:
calculate abstract distance based on ACPI HMAT'
- In the series 'Smart scanning mode for KSM' Stefan Roesch has
optimized KSM by teaching it to retain and use some historical
information from previous scans
- Yosry Ahmed has fixed some inconsistencies in memcg statistics in
the series 'mm: memcg: fix tracking of pending stats updates
values'
- In the series 'Implement IOCTL to get and optionally clear info
about PTEs' Peter Xu has added an ioctl to /proc/<pid>/pagemap
which permits us to atomically read-then-clear page softdirty
state. This is mainly used by CRIU
- Hugh Dickins contributed the series 'shmem,tmpfs: general
maintenance', a bunch of relatively minor maintenance tweaks to
this code
- Matthew Wilcox has increased the use of the VMA lock over
file-backed page faults in the series 'Handle more faults under the
VMA lock'. Some rationalizations of the fault path became possible
as a result
- In the series 'mm/rmap: convert page_move_anon_rmap() to
folio_move_anon_rmap()' David Hildenbrand has implemented some
cleanups and folio conversions
- In the series 'various improvements to the GUP interface' Lorenzo
Stoakes has simplified and improved the GUP interface with an eye
to providing groundwork for future improvements
- Andrey Konovalov has sent along the series 'kasan: assorted fixes
and improvements' which does those things
- Some page allocator maintenance work from Kemeng Shi in the series
'Two minor cleanups to break_down_buddy_pages'
- In thes series 'New selftest for mm' Breno Leitao has developed
another MM self test which tickles a race we had between madvise()
and page faults
- In the series 'Add folio_end_read' Matthew Wilcox provides cleanups
and an optimization to the core pagecache code
- Nhat Pham has added memcg accounting for hugetlb memory in the
series 'hugetlb memcg accounting'
- Cleanups and rationalizations to the pagemap code from Lorenzo
Stoakes, in the series 'Abstract vma_merge() and split_vma()'
- Audra Mitchell has fixed issues in the procfs page_owner code's new
timestamping feature which was causing some misbehaviours. In the
series 'Fix page_owner's use of free timestamps'
- Lorenzo Stoakes has fixed the handling of new mappings of sealed
files in the series 'permit write-sealed memfd read-only shared
mappings'
- Mike Kravetz has optimized the hugetlb vmemmap optimization in the
series 'Batch hugetlb vmemmap modification operations'
- Some buffer_head folio conversions and cleanups from Matthew Wilcox
in the series 'Finish the create_empty_buffers() transition'
- As a page allocator performance optimization Huang Ying has added
automatic tuning to the allocator's per-cpu-pages feature, in the
series 'mm: PCP high auto-tuning'
- Roman Gushchin has contributed the patchset 'mm: improve
performance of accounted kernel memory allocations' which improves
their performance by ~30% as measured by a micro-benchmark
- folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series 'mm: convert page
cpupid functions to folios'
- Some kmemleak fixups in Liu Shixin's series 'Some bugfix about
kmemleak'
- Qi Zheng has improved our handling of memoryless nodes by keeping
them off the allocation fallback list. This is done in the series
'handle memoryless nodes more appropriately'
- khugepaged conversions from Vishal Moola in the series 'Some
khugepaged folio conversions'"
[ bcachefs conflicts with the dynamically allocated shrinkers have been
resolved as per Stephen Rothwell in
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230913093553.4290421e@canb.auug.org.au/
with help from Qi Zheng.
