mm: fix unexpected changes to {failslab|fail_page_alloc}.attr

2022-11-23T02:50:44+00:00

When we specify __GFP_NOWARN, we only expect that no warnings will be
issued for current caller.  But in the __should_failslab() and
__should_fail_alloc_page(), the local GFP flags alter the global
{failslab|fail_page_alloc}.attr, which is persistent and shared by all
tasks.  This is not what we expected, let's fix it.

mm: prep_compound_tail() clear page->private

2022-10-28T20:37:22+00:00

Although page allocation always clears page->private in the first page or
head page of an allocation, it has never made a point of clearing
page->private in the tails (though 0 is often what is already there).

But now commit 71e2d666ef85 ("mm/huge_memory: do not clobber swp_entry_t
during THP split") issues a warning when page_tail->private is found to be
non-0 (unless it's swapcache).

Change that warning to dump page_tail (which also dumps head), instead of
just the head: so far we have seen dead000000000122, dead000000000003,
dead000000000001 or 0000000000000002 in the raw output for tail private.

We could just delete the warning, but today's consensus appears to want
page->private to be 0, unless there's a good reason for it to be set: so
now clear it in prep_compound_tail() (more general than just for THP; but
not for high order allocation, which makes no pass down the tails).

mm/page_alloc: reduce potential fragmentation in make_alloc_exact()

2022-10-21T04:27:23+00:00

Try to avoid using the left over split page on the next request for a page
by calling __free_pages_ok() with FPI_TO_TAIL.  This increases the
potential of defragmenting memory when it's used for a short period of
time.

mm/page_alloc: fix incorrect PGFREE and PGALLOC for high-order page

2022-10-13T01:51:51+00:00

PGFREE and PGALLOC represent the number of freed and allocated pages.  So
the page order must be considered.

mm: free device private pages have zero refcount

2022-10-13T01:51:49+00:00

Since 27674ef6c73f ("mm: remove the extra ZONE_DEVICE struct page
refcount") device private pages have no longer had an extra reference
count when the page is in use.  However before handing them back to the
owning device driver we add an extra reference count such that free pages
have a reference count of one.

This makes it difficult to tell if a page is free or not because both free
and in use pages will have a non-zero refcount.  Instead we should return
pages to the drivers page allocator with a zero reference count.  Kernel
code can then safely use kernel functions such as get_page_unless_zero().

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

- Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).

- Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
contention.

Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.

Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.

- Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
to the single bit level.

KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.

- Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
memory into THPs.

- Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
support file/shmem-backed pages.

- userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen

- zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov

- cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and
memory-failure

- Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's
page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages.

- memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced
memory consumption.

- memcg cleanups from Kairui Song.

- memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner.

- Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions

- Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :(

- migration enhancements from Peter Xu

- migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying

- Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory
tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM
drivers, etc.

- vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn.

- NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand.

- xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging
activity.

- THP & KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng.

- more folio work from Matthew Wilcox.

- KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov.

- DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia.

- DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups.

- hugetlb sysfs cleanups from Muchun Song.

- Mike Kravetz fixes locking issues in hugetlbfs and in hugetlb core.

 "The first batch of KVM patches, mostly covering x86.

  ARM:

   - Account stage2 page table allocations in memory stats

  x86:

   - Account EPT/NPT arm64 page table allocations in memory stats

   - Tracepoint cleanups/fixes for nested VM-Enter and emulated MSR
     accesses

   - Drop eVMCS controls filtering for KVM on Hyper-V, all known
     versions of Hyper-V now support eVMCS fields associated with
     features that are enumerated to the guest

   - Use KVM's sanitized VMCS config as the basis for the values of
     nested VMX capabilities MSRs

   - A myriad event/exception fixes and cleanups. Most notably, pending
     exceptions morph into VM-Exits earlier, as soon as the exception is
     queued, instead of waiting until the next vmentry. This fixed a
     longstanding issue where the exceptions would incorrecly become
     double-faults instead of triggering a vmexit; the common case of
     page-fault vmexits had a special workaround, but now it's fixed for
     good

   - A handful of fixes for memory leaks in error paths

   - Cleanups for VMREAD trampoline and VMX's VM-Exit assembly flow
