<title>Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() across all architectures</title>

<content type='text'>
Introduce a generic way to query whether the data cache is virtually
aliased on all architectures. Its purpose is to ensure that subsystems
which are incompatible with virtually aliased data caches (e.g. FS_DAX)
can reliably query this.

For data cache aliasing, there are three scenarios dependending on the
architecture. Here is a breakdown based on my understanding:

A) The data cache is always aliasing:

* arc
* csky
* m68k (note: shared memory mappings are incoherent ? SHMLBA is missing there.)
* sh
* parisc

B) The data cache aliasing is statically known or depends on querying CPU
   state at runtime:

* arm (cache_is_vivt() || cache_is_vipt_aliasing())
* mips (cpu_has_dc_aliases)
* nios2 (NIOS2_DCACHE_SIZE &gt; PAGE_SIZE)
* sparc32 (vac_cache_size &gt; PAGE_SIZE)
* sparc64 (L1DCACHE_SIZE &gt; PAGE_SIZE)
* xtensa (DCACHE_WAY_SIZE &gt; PAGE_SIZE)

C) The data cache is never aliasing:

* alpha
* arm64 (aarch64)
* hexagon
* loongarch (but with incoherent write buffers, which are disabled since
             commit d23b7795 ("LoongArch: Change SHMLBA from SZ_64K to PAGE_SIZE"))
* microblaze
* openrisc
* powerpc
* riscv
* s390
* um
* x86

Require architectures in A) and B) to select ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_ALIASING and
implement "cpu_dcache_is_aliasing()".

Architectures in C) don't select ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_ALIASING, and thus
cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() simply evaluates to "false".

Note that this leaves "cpu_icache_is_aliasing()" to be implemented as future
work. This would be useful to gate features like XIP on architectures
which have aliasing CPU dcache-icache but not CPU dcache-dcache.

Use "cpu_dcache" and "cpu_cache" rather than just "dcache" and "cache"
to clarify that we really mean "CPU data cache" and "CPU cache" to
eliminate any possible confusion with VFS "dentry cache" and "page
cache".

<title>mm/zswap: only support zswap_exclusive_loads_enabled</title>
<updated>2024-02-22T18:24:54+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=c2e2ba770200b379069011a1fdeeb41e4569c486'/>
<id>c2e2ba770200b379069011a1fdeeb41e4569c486</id>
<content type='text'>
The !zswap_exclusive_loads_enabled mode will leave compressed copy in
the zswap tree and lru list after the folio swapin.

There are some disadvantages in this mode:
1. It's a waste of memory since there are two copies of data, one is
   folio, the other one is compressed data in zswap. And it's unlikely
   the compressed data is useful in the near future.

2. If that folio is dirtied, the compressed data must be not useful,
   but we don't know and don't invalidate the trashy memory in zswap.

3. It's not reclaimable from zswap shrinker since zswap_writeback_entry()
   will always return -EEXIST and terminate the shrinking process.

On the other hand, the only downside of zswap_exclusive_loads_enabled
is a little more cpu usage/latency when compression, and the same if
the folio is removed from swapcache or dirtied.

More explanation by Johannes on why we should consider exclusive load
as the default for zswap:

  Caching "swapout work" is helpful when the system is thrashing. Then
  recently swapped in pages might get swapped out again very soon. It
  certainly makes sense with conventional swap, because keeping a clean
  copy on the disk saves IO work and doesn't cost any additional memory.

  But with zswap, it's different. It saves some compression work on a
  thrashing page. But the act of keeping compressed memory contributes
  to a higher rate of thrashing. And that can cause IO in other places
  like zswap writeback and file memory.

And the A/B test results of the kernel build in tmpfs with limited memory
can support this theory:

There is no real difference between the global area, and other
additionally configured CMA areas via CONFIG_CMA_AREAS that always
defaults without user input.  This makes MAX_CMA_AREAS same as
CONFIG_CMA_AREAS, also incrementing its default values, thus maintaining
current default for MAX_CMA_AREAS both for UMA and NUMA systems.

'def_bool X' is a shorthand for 'bool' plus 'default X'.

'def_bool' is redundant where 'bool' is already present, so 'def_bool X'
can be replaced with 'default X', or removed if X is 'n'.

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.
