<content type='text'>
When memory is hotplug added or removed the min_free_kbytes should be
recalculated based on what is expected by khugepaged.  Currently after
hotplug, min_free_kbytes will be set to a lower default and higher
default set when THP enabled is lost.

This change restores min_free_kbytes as expected for THP consumers.

<title>mm/khugepaged: fix filemap page_to_pgoff(page) != offset</title>

There have been elusive reports of filemap_fault() hitting its
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_to_pgoff(page) != offset, page) on kernels built
with CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS=y.

Suren has hit it on a kernel with CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS=y and
CONFIG_NUMA is not set: and he has analyzed it down to how khugepaged
without NUMA reuses the same huge page after collapse_file() failed
(whereas NUMA targets its allocation to the respective node each time).
And most of us were usually testing with CONFIG_NUMA=y kernels.

collapse_file(old start)
  new_page = khugepaged_alloc_page(hpage)
  __SetPageLocked(new_page)
  new_page-&gt;index = start // hpage-&gt;index=old offset
  new_page-&gt;mapping = mapping
  xas_store(&amp;xas, new_page)

                          filemap_fault
                            page = find_get_page(mapping, offset)
                            // if offset falls inside hpage then
                            // compound_head(page) == hpage
                            lock_page_maybe_drop_mmap()
                              __lock_page(page)

  // collapse fails
  xas_store(&amp;xas, old page)
  new_page-&gt;mapping = NULL
  unlock_page(new_page)

collapse_file(new start)
  new_page = khugepaged_alloc_page(hpage)
  __SetPageLocked(new_page)
  new_page-&gt;index = start // hpage-&gt;index=new offset
  new_page-&gt;mapping = mapping // mapping becomes valid again

                            // since compound_head(page) == hpage
                            // page_to_pgoff(page) got changed
                            VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_to_pgoff(page) != offset)

An initial patch replaced __SetPageLocked() by lock_page(), which did
fix the race which Suren illustrates above.  But testing showed that it's
not good enough: if the racing task's __lock_page() gets delayed long
after its find_get_page(), then it may follow collapse_file(new start)'s
successful final unlock_page(), and crash on the same VM_BUG_ON_PAGE.

It could be fixed by relaxing filemap_fault()'s VM_BUG_ON_PAGE to a
check and retry (as is done for mapping), with similar relaxations in
find_lock_entry() and pagecache_get_page(): but it's not obvious what
else might get caught out; and khugepaged non-NUMA appears to be unique
in exposing a page to page cache, then revoking, without going through
a full cycle of freeing before reuse.

Instead, non-NUMA khugepaged_prealloc_page() release the old page
if anyone else has a reference to it (1% of cases when I tested).

Although never reported on huge tmpfs, I believe its find_lock_entry()
has been at similar risk; but huge tmpfs does not rely on khugepaged
for its normal working nearly so much as READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS does.

<title>mm: avoid early COW write protect games during fork()</title>

<id>f3c64eda3e5097ec3198cb271f5f504d65d67131</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit 70e806e4e645 ("mm: Do early cow for pinned pages during fork()
for ptes") we write-protected the PTE before doing the page pinning
check, in order to avoid a race with concurrent fast-GUP pinning (which
doesn't take the mm semaphore or the page table lock).

That trick doesn't actually work - it doesn't handle memory ordering
properly, and doing so would be prohibitively expensive.

It also isn't really needed.  While we're moving in the direction of
allowing and supporting page pinning without marking the pinned area
with MADV_DONTFORK, the fact is that we've never really supported this
kind of odd "concurrent fork() and page pinning", and doing the
serialization on a pte level is just wrong.

We can add serialization with a per-mm sequence counter, so we know how
to solve that race properly, but we'll do that at a more appropriate
time.  Right now this just removes the write protect games.

It also turns out that the write protect games actually break on Power,
as reported by Aneesh Kumar:

 "Architecture like ppc64 expects set_pte_at to be not used for updating
  a valid pte. This is further explained in commit 56eecdb912b5 ("mm:
  Use ptep/pmdp_set_numa() for updating _PAGE_NUMA bit")"

and the code triggered a warning there:

In commit 70e806e4e645 ("mm: Do early cow for pinned pages during fork()
for ptes") we write-protected the PTE before doing the page pinning
check, in order to avoid a race with concurrent fast-GUP pinning (which
doesn't take the mm semaphore or the page table lock).

That trick doesn't actually work - it doesn't handle memory ordering
properly, and doing so would be prohibitively expensive.

It also isn't really needed.  While we're moving in the direction of
allowing and supporting page pinning without marking the pinned area
with MADV_DONTFORK, the fact is that we've never really supported this
kind of odd "concurrent fork() and page pinning", and doing the
serialization on a pte level is just wrong.

We can add serialization with a per-mm sequence counter, so we know how
to solve that race properly, but we'll do that at a more appropriate
time.  Right now this just removes the write protect games.

It also turns out that the write protect games actually break on Power,
as reported by Aneesh Kumar:

 "Architecture like ppc64 expects set_pte_at to be not used for updating
  a valid pte. This is further explained in commit 56eecdb912b5 ("mm:
  Use ptep/pmdp_set_numa() for updating _PAGE_NUMA bit")"

and the code triggered a warning there:

<title>mm/page_alloc: handle a missing case for memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs</title>

<content type='text'>
memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs can be used to skip page allocation
on CMA area, but, there is a missing case and the page on CMA area could
be allocated even if APIs are used.  This patch handles this case to fix
the potential issue.

For now, these APIs are used to prevent long-term pinning on the CMA
page.  When the long-term pinning is requested on the CMA page, it is
migrated to the non-CMA page before pinning.  This non-CMA page is
allocated by using memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs.  If APIs doesn't
work as intended, the CMA page is allocated and it is pinned for a long
time.  This long-term pin for the CMA page causes cma_alloc() failure
and it could result in wrong behaviour on the device driver who uses the
cma_alloc().

Missing case is an allocation from the pcplist.  MIGRATE_MOVABLE pcplist
could have the pages on CMA area so we need to skip it if ALLOC_CMA
isn't specified.

<title>mm, slub: restore initial kmem_cache flags</title>

The routine that applies debug flags to the kmem_cache slabs
inadvertantly prevents non-debug flags from being applied to those
same objects.  That is, if slub_debug=&lt;flag&gt;,&lt;slab&gt; is specified,
non-debugged slabs will end up having flags of zero, and the slabs
may be unusable.

Fix this by including the input flags for non-matching slabs with the
contents of slub_debug, so that the caches are created as expected
alongside any debugging options that may be requested.  With this, we
can remove the check for a NULL slub_debug_string, since it's covered
by the loop itself.

The async buffered reads feature is not working when readahead is
turned off. There are two things to concern:

- when doing retry in io_read, not only the IOCB_WAITQ flag but also
  the IOCB_NOWAIT flag is still set, which makes it goes to would_block
  phase in generic_file_buffered_read() and then return -EAGAIN. After
  that, the io-wq thread work is queued, and later doing the async
  reads in the old way.

- even if we remove IOCB_NOWAIT when doing retry, the feature is still
  not running properly, since in generic_file_buffered_read() it goes to
  lock_page_killable() after calling mapping-&gt;a_ops-&gt;readpage() to do
  IO, and thus causing process to sleep.

It seems likely this block was pasted from internal_get_user_pages_fast,
which is not passed an mm struct and therefore uses current's.  But
__get_user_pages_locked is passed an explicit mm, and current-&gt;mm is not
always valid. This was hit when being called from i915, which uses:

  pin_user_pages_remote-&gt;
    __get_user_pages_remote-&gt;
      __gup_longterm_locked-&gt;
        __get_user_pages_locked

Before, this would lead to an OOPS:

<title>mm/thp: Split huge pmds/puds if they're pinned when fork()</title>

<content type='text'>
Pinned pages shouldn't be write-protected when fork() happens, because
follow up copy-on-write on these pages could cause the pinned pages to
be replaced by random newly allocated pages.

For huge PMDs, we split the huge pmd if pinning is detected.  So that
future handling will be done by the PTE level (with our latest changes,
each of the small pages will be copied).  We can achieve this by let
copy_huge_pmd() return -EAGAIN for pinned pages, so that we'll
fallthrough in copy_pmd_range() and finally land the next
copy_pte_range() call.

Huge PUDs will be even more special - so far it does not support
anonymous pages.  But it can actually be done the same as the huge PMDs
even if the split huge PUDs means to erase the PUD entries.  It'll
guarantee the follow up fault ins will remap the same pages in either
parent/child later.

This might not be the most efficient way, but it should be easy and
clean enough.  It should be fine, since we're tackling with a very rare
case just to make sure userspaces that pinned some thps will still work
even without MADV_DONTFORK and after they fork()ed.
