Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Many singleton patches against the MM code. The patch series which are
  included in this merge do the following:

   - Peng Zhang has done some mapletree maintainance work in the series

	'maple_tree: add mt_free_one() and mt_attr() helpers'
	'Some cleanups of maple tree'

   - In the series 'mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem'
     Vishal Verma has altered the interworking between memory-hotplug
     and dax/kmem so that newly added 'device memory' can more easily
     have its memmap placed within that newly added memory.

   - Matthew Wilcox continues folio-related work (including a few fixes)
     in the patch series

	'Add folio_zero_tail() and folio_fill_tail()'
	'Make folio_start_writeback return void'
	'Fix fault handler's handling of poisoned tail pages'
	'Convert aops-&gt;error_remove_page to -&gt;error_remove_folio'
	'Finish two folio conversions'
	'More swap folio conversions'

   - Kefeng Wang has also contributed folio-related work in the series

	'mm: cleanup and use more folio in page fault'

   - Jim Cromie has improved the kmemleak reporting output in the series
     'tweak kmemleak report format'.

   - In the series 'stackdepot: allow evicting stack traces' Andrey
     Konovalov to permits clients (in this case KASAN) to cause eviction
     of no longer needed stack traces.

   - Charan Teja Kalla has fixed some accounting issues in the page
     allocator's atomic reserve calculations in the series 'mm:
     page_alloc: fixes for high atomic reserve caluculations'.

   - Dmitry Rokosov has added to the samples/ dorectory some sample code
     for a userspace memcg event listener application. See the series
     'samples: introduce cgroup events listeners'.

   - Some mapletree maintanance work from Liam Howlett in the series
     'maple_tree: iterator state changes'.

   - Nhat Pham has improved zswap's approach to writeback in the series
     'workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap writeback'.

   - DAMON/DAMOS feature and maintenance work from SeongJae Park in the
     series

	'mm/damon: let users feed and tame/auto-tune DAMOS'
	'selftests/damon: add Python-written DAMON functionality tests'
	'mm/damon: misc updates for 6.8'

   - Yosry Ahmed has improved memcg's stats flushing in the series 'mm:
     memcg: subtree stats flushing and thresholds'.

   - In the series 'Multi-size THP for anonymous memory' Ryan Roberts
     has added a runtime opt-in feature to transparent hugepages which
     improves performance by allocating larger chunks of memory during
     anonymous page faults.

   - Matthew Wilcox has also contributed some cleanup and maintenance
     work against eh buffer_head code int he series 'More buffer_head
     cleanups'.

   - Suren Baghdasaryan has done work on Andrea Arcangeli's series
     'userfaultfd move option'. UFFDIO_MOVE permits userspace heap
     compaction algorithms to move userspace's pages around rather than
     UFFDIO_COPY'a alloc/copy/free.

   - Stefan Roesch has developed a 'KSM Advisor', in the series 'mm/ksm:
     Add ksm advisor'. This is a governor which tunes KSM's scanning
     aggressiveness in response to userspace's current needs.

   - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's temporary working memory use
     in the series 'mm/zswap: dstmem reuse optimizations and cleanups'.

   - Matthew Wilcox has performed some maintenance work on the writeback
     code, both code and within filesystems. The series is 'Clean up the
     writeback paths'.

   - Andrey Konovalov has optimized KASAN's handling of alloc and free
     stack traces for secondary-level allocators, in the series 'kasan:
     save mempool stack traces'.

   - Andrey also performed some KASAN maintenance work in the series
     'kasan: assorted clean-ups'.

   - David Hildenbrand has gone to town on the rmap code. Cleanups, more
     pte batching, folio conversions and more. See the series 'mm/rmap:
     interface overhaul'.

   - Kinsey Ho has contributed some maintenance work on the MGLRU code
     in the series 'mm/mglru: Kconfig cleanup'.

   - Matthew Wilcox has contributed lruvec page accounting code cleanups
     in the series 'Remove some lruvec page accounting functions'"

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:

 - SLUB: delayed freezing of CPU partial slabs (Chengming Zhou)

   Freezing is an operation involving double_cmpxchg() that makes a slab
   exclusive for a particular CPU. Chengming noticed that we use it also
   in situations where we are not yet installing the slab as the CPU
   slab, because freezing also indicates that the slab is not on the
   shared list. This results in redundant freeze/unfreeze operation and
   can be avoided by marking separately the shared list presence by
   reusing the PG_workingset flag.

   This approach neatly avoids the issues described in 9b1ea29bc0d7
   ("Revert "mm, slub: consider rest of partial list if acquire_slab()
   fails"") as we can now grab a slab from the shared list in a quick
   and guaranteed way without the cmpxchg_double() operation that
   amplifies the lock contention and can fail.

   As a result, lkp has reported 34.2% improvement of
   stress-ng.rawudp.ops_per_sec

 - SLAB removal and SLUB cleanups (Vlastimil Babka)

   The SLAB allocator has been deprecated since 6.5 and nobody has
   objected so far. We agreed at LSF/MM to wait until the next LTS,
   which is 6.6, so we should be good to go now.

   This doesn't yet erase all traces of SLAB outside of mm/ so some dead
   code, comments or documentation remain, and will be cleaned up
   gradually (some series are already in the works).

   Removing the choice of allocators has already allowed to simplify and
   optimize the code wiring up the kmalloc APIs to the SLUB
   implementation.

commit 23baf831a32c ("mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely") has
changed the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive.  This has caused
issues with code that was not yet upstream and depended on the previous
definition.

To draw attention to the altered meaning of the define, rename MAX_ORDER
to MAX_PAGE_ORDER.

<title>mm/thp: add CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_NEVER option</title>

<id>683ec99f12f4c386c23bed7f6a8ef44db5a4999a</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently enabling THP support (CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE) requires
enabling either CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS or
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE, which both cause khugepaged starting
by default at kernel bootup.  Add the third choice
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_NEVER, in line with the existing kernel
command line setting transparent_hugepage=never, to disable THP by default
(in particular, to prevent starting khugepaged by default) but still allow
enabling it at runtime via sysfs.

Rationale: khugepaged has its own non-negligible memory cost even if it is
not used by any applications, since it bumps up vm.min_free_kbytes to its
own required minimum in set_recommended_min_free_kbytes().  For example,
on a machine with 4GB RAM, with 3 mm zones and pageblock_order ==
MAX_ORDER, starting khugepaged causes vm.min_free_kbytes increase from 8MB
to 132MB.

So if we use THP on machines with e.g.  &gt;=8GB of memory for better
performance, but avoid using it on lower-memory machines to avoid its
memory overhead, then for the same reason we also want to avoid even
starting khugepaged on those &lt;8GB machines.  So with
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_NEVER we can use the same kernel image on both
&gt;=8GB and &lt;8GB machines, with THP support enabled but khugepaged not
started by default.  The userspace can then decide to enable THP via sysfs
if needed, based on the total amount of memory.

This could also be achieved with the existing transparent_hugepage=never
setting in the kernel command line instead.  But it seems cleaner to avoid
tweaking the command line for such a basic setting.

P.S. I see that CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_NEVER was already proposed
in the past [1] but without an explanation of the purpose.

<title>zswap: shrink zswap pool based on memory pressure</title>
<updated>2023-12-12T18:57:02+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=b5ba474f3f518701249598b35c581b92a3c95b48'/>
<id>b5ba474f3f518701249598b35c581b92a3c95b48</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, we only shrink the zswap pool when the user-defined limit is
hit.  This means that if we set the limit too high, cold data that are
unlikely to be used again will reside in the pool, wasting precious
memory.  It is hard to predict how much zswap space will be needed ahead
of time, as this depends on the workload (specifically, on factors such as
memory access patterns and compressibility of the memory pages).

This patch implements a memcg- and NUMA-aware shrinker for zswap, that is
initiated when there is memory pressure.  The shrinker does not have any
parameter that must be tuned by the user, and can be opted in or out on a
per-memcg basis.

Furthermore, to make it more robust for many workloads and prevent
overshrinking (i.e evicting warm pages that might be refaulted into
memory), we build in the following heuristics:

* Estimate the number of warm pages residing in zswap, and attempt to
  protect this region of the zswap LRU.
* Scale the number of freeable objects by an estimate of the memory
  saving factor. The better zswap compresses the data, the fewer pages
  we will evict to swap (as we will otherwise incur IO for relatively
  small memory saving).
* During reclaim, if the shrinker encounters a page that is also being
  brought into memory, the shrinker will cautiously terminate its
  shrinking action, as this is a sign that it is touching the warmer
  region of the zswap LRU.

As a proof of concept, we ran the following synthetic benchmark: build the
linux kernel in a memory-limited cgroup, and allocate some cold data in
tmpfs to see if the shrinker could write them out and improved the overall
performance.  Depending on the amount of cold data generated, we observe
from 14% to 35% reduction in kernel CPU time used in the kernel builds.

Linus suggested that the kconfig here is confusing:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wgUiAtiszwseM1p2fCJ+sC4XWQ+YN4TanFhUgvUqjr9Xw@mail.gmail.com/

Let's break it into three kconfigs controlling distinct things:

 - CONFIG_IOMMU_MM_DATA controls if the mm_struct has the additional
   fields for the IOMMU. Currently only PASID, but later patches store
   a struct iommu_mm_data *

 - CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPU_PASID controls if the arch needs the scheduling bit
   for keeping track of the ENQCMD instruction. x86 will select this if
   IOMMU_SVA is enabled

 - IOMMU_SVA controls if the IOMMU core compiles in the SVA support code
   for iommu driver use and the IOMMU exported API

This way ARM will not enable CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPU_PASID
