mm: don't set readahead flag on a folio when lookahead_size > nr_to_read
The readahead flag is set on a folio based on the lookahead_size and
nr_to_read. For example, when the readahead happens from index to index +
nr_to_read, then the readahead `mark` offset from index is set at
nr_to_read - lookahead_size.
There are some scenarios where the lookahead_size > nr_to_read. For
example, readahead window was created, but the file was truncated before
the readahead starts. do_page_cache_ra() will clamp the nr_to_read if the
readahead window extends beyond EOF after truncation. If this happens,
readahead flag should not be set on any folio on the current readahead
window.
The current calculation for `mark` with mapping_min_order > 0 gives
incorrect results when lookahead_size > nr_to_read due to rounding up
operation:
ra_folio_index = round_up(128 + 16 - 28, 16) = 128;
mark = 128 - 128 = 0; # offset from index to set RA flag
In the above example, the lookahead_size is actually lying outside the
current readahead window. Without this patch, RA flag will be set
incorrectly on the folio at index 128. This can lead to marking the
readahead flag on the wrong folio, therefore, triggering a readahead when
it is not necessary.
Explicitly initialize `mark` to be ULONG_MAX and only calculate it when
lookahead_size is within the readahead window.

mm/vmstat: defer the refresh_zone_stat_thresholds after all CPUs bringup
refresh_zone_stat_thresholds function has two loops which is expensive for
higher number of CPUs and NUMA nodes.
Below is the rough estimation of total iterations done by these loops
based on number of NUMA and CPUs.
Total number of iterations: nCPU * 2 * Numa * mCPU
Where:
nCPU = total number of CPUs
Numa = total number of NUMA nodes
mCPU = mean value of total CPUs (e.g., 512 for 1024 total CPUs)
For the system under test with 16 NUMA nodes and 1024 CPUs, this results
in a substantial increase in the number of loop iterations during boot-up
when NUMA is enabled:
No NUMA = 1024*2*1*512 = 1,048,576 : Here refresh_zone_stat_thresholds
takes around 224 ms total for all the CPUs in the system under test.
16 NUMA = 1024*2*16*512 = 16,777,216 : Here refresh_zone_stat_thresholds
takes around 4.5 seconds total for all the CPUs in the system under test.
Calling this for each CPU is expensive when there are large number of CPUs
along with multiple NUMAs. Fix this by deferring
refresh_zone_stat_thresholds to be called later at once when all the
secondary CPUs are up. Also, register the DYN hooks to keep the existing
hotplug functionality intact.

mm: abstract THP allocation
Patch series "Do not shatter hugezeropage on wp-fault", v7.
It was observed at [1] and [2] that the current kernel behaviour of
shattering a hugezeropage is inconsistent and suboptimal. For a VMA with
a THP allowable order, when we write-fault on it, the kernel installs a
PMD-mapped THP. On the other hand, if we first get a read fault, we get a
PMD pointing to the hugezeropage; subsequent write will trigger a
write-protection fault, shattering the hugezeropage into one writable
page, and all the other PTEs write-protected. The conclusion being, as
compared to the case of a single write-fault, applications have to suffer
512 extra page faults if they were to use the VMA as such, plus we get the
overhead of khugepaged trying to replace that area with a THP anyway.
Instead, replace the hugezeropage with a THP on wp-fault.
In preparation for the second patch, abstract away the THP allocation
logic present in the create_huge_pmd() path, which corresponds to the
faulting case when no page is present.
There should be no functional change as a result of applying this patch,
except that, as David notes at [1], a PMD-aligned address should be passed
to update_mmu_cache_pmd().

HugeTLB registers a .get_unmapped_area function which gets called from
__get_unmapped_area().
hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() is defined by a bunch of architectures and
it also has a generic definition for those that do not define it.
Short-long story is that there is a ton of duplicated code between
specific hugetlb *_get_unmapped_area_* functions and mm-core functions,
so we can do better by teaching arch_get_unmapped_area* functions how
to deal with hugetlb mappings.
Note that not a lot of things need to be taught though.
hugetlb_get_unmapped_area, that gets called for hugetlb mappings, runs
some sanity checks prior to calling mm_get_unmapped_area_vmflags(), so we
do not need to that down the road in the respective
{generic,arch}_get_unmapped_area* functions.

maple_tree: do not hash pointers on dump in debug mode
Many maple tree values output when an mt_validate() or equivalent hits an
issue utilise tagged pointers, most notably parent nodes. Also some
pivots/slots contain meaningful values, output as pointers, such as the
index of the last entry with data for example.
All pointer values such as this are destroyed by kernel pointer hashing
rendering the debug output obtained from CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_MAPLE_TREE
considerably less usable.
Update this code to output the raw pointers using %px rather than %p when
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_MAPLE_TREE is defined. This is justified, as the use of
this configuration flag indicates that this is a test environment.
Userland does not understand %px, so use %p there.
In an abundance of caution, if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_MAPLE_TREE is not set, also
use %p to avoid exposing raw kernel pointers except when we are positive a
testing mode is enabled.
This was inspired by the investigation performed in recent debugging
efforts around a maple tree regression [0] where kernel pointer tagging had
to be disabled in order to obtain truly meaningful and useful data.

As the name suggests, pte_offset_map_ro_nolock() is used for read-only
case. In this case, only read-only operations will be performed on PTE
page after the PTL is held. The RCU lock in pte_offset_map_nolock() will
ensure that the PTE page will not be freed, and there is no need to worry
about whether the pmd entry is modified. Therefore
pte_offset_map_ro_nolock() is just a renamed version of
pte_offset_map_nolock().
pte_offset_map_rw_nolock() is used for may-write case. In this case, the
pte or pmd entry may be modified after the PTL is held, so we need to
ensure that the pmd entry has not been modified concurrently. So in
addition to the name change, it also outputs the pmdval when successful.
The users should make sure the page table is stable like checking
pte_same() or checking pmd_same() by using the output pmdval before
performing the write operations.
This series will convert all pte_offset_map_nolock() into the above two
helper functions one by one, and finally completely delete it.
This also a preparation for reclaiming the empty user PTE page table
pages.
This patch (of 13):
Currently, the usage of pte_offset_map_nolock() can be divided into the
following two cases:
1) After acquiring PTL, only read-only operations are performed on the PTE
page. In this case, the RCU lock in pte_offset_map_nolock() will ensure
that the PTE page will not be freed, and there is no need to worry
about whether the pmd entry is modified.
2) After acquiring PTL, the pte or pmd entries may be modified. At this
time, we need to ensure that the pmd entry has not been modified
concurrently.
To more clearing distinguish between these two cases, this commit
introduces two new helper functions to replace pte_offset_map_nolock().
For 1), just rename it to pte_offset_map_ro_nolock(). For 2), in addition
to changing the name to pte_offset_map_rw_nolock(), it also outputs the
pmdval when successful. It is applicable for may-write cases where any
modification operations to the page table may happen after the
corresponding spinlock is held afterwards. But the users should make sure
the page table is stable like checking pte_same() or checking pmd_same()
by using the output pmdval before performing the write operations.
Note: "RO" / "RW" expresses the intended semantics, not that the *kmap*
will be read-only/read-write protected.
Subsequent commits will convert pte_offset_map_nolock() into the above
two functions one by one, and finally completely delete it.

mm/madvise: unrestrict process_madvise() for current process
The process_madvise() call was introduced in commit ecb8ac8b1f14
("mm/madvise: introduce process_madvise() syscall: an external memory
hinting API") as a means of performing madvise() operations on another
process.
However, as it provides the means by which to perform multiple madvise()
operations in a batch via an iovec, it is useful to utilise the same
interface for performing operations on the current process rather than a
remote one.
Commit 22af8caff7d1 ("mm/madvise: process_madvise() drop capability check
if same mm") removed the need for a caller invoking process_madvise() on
its own pidfd to possess the CAP_SYS_NICE capability, however this leaves
the restrictions on operation in place.
Resolve this by only applying the restriction on operations when accessing
a remote process.
Moving forward we plan to implement a simpler means of specifying this
condition other than needing to establish a self pidfd, perhaps in the
form of a sentinel pidfd.
Also take the opportunity to refactor the system call implementation
abstracting the vectorised operation.

Patch series "selftests/mm: hugetlb_fault_after_madv improvements".
Mario brought to my attention that the hugetlb_fault_after_madv test is
currently always skipped on s390x. Let's adjust the test to be
independent of the default hugetlb page size and while at it, also improve
the test output.
This patch (of 2):
We currently assume that the hugetlb page size is 2 MiB, which is why we
mmap() a 2 MiB range.
Is the default hugetlb size is larger, mmap() will fail because the range
is not suitable. If the default hugetlb size is smaller (e.g., s390x),
mmap() will fail because we would need more than one hugetlb page, but
just asserted that we have exactly one.
So let's simply use the default hugetlb page size instead of hard-coded 2
MiB, so the test isn't unconditionally skipped on architectures like
s390x.

maple_tree: goto complete directly on a pivot of 0
When we break the loop after assigning a pivot, the index i/j is not
changed. Then the following code assign pivot, which means we do the
assignment with same i/j by mas_safe_pivot.
Since the loop condition is (i < piv_end), from which we can get i is less
than mt_pivots[mt]. It implies mas_safe_pivot() return pivot[i] which is
the same value we get in loop.
Now we can conclude it does a redundant assignment on a pivot of 0. Let's
just go to complete to avoid it.
We can see in all these four cases, i is always less than or equal to
mas_end after finish the loop:
Case 1: After assign pivot 0, i is set to 1, which is bigger than
mas_end 0. So it jumps to complete and skip the check.
Case 2: After assign pivot 0, i is set to 1.
∵ (mas_start < mas_end) && (mas_start == 0)
==> (1 <= mas_end)
∵ (i == 1) && (1 <= mas_end)
==> (i <= mas_end)
∴ Before loop, we have (i <= mas_end). And we still hold this
if it skips the loop. For example, (i == mas_end).
Now let's see what happens in the loop:
∵ piv_end = min(mas_end, mt_pivots[mt])
==> (piv_end <= mas_end)
∵ loop condition is (i < piv_end)
==> (i <= piv_end) on finish the loop both normally or break
∵ (i <= piv_end) && (piv_end <= mas_end)
==> (i <= mas_end)
∴ After loop, we still get (i <= mas_end) in this case
Case 3: This case would skip both if clause and loop. So when it comes
to the check, i is still mas_start which equals to mas_end.
Case 4: This case would skip the if clause.
∵ (mas_start < mas_end) && (i == mas_start)
==> (i < mas_end)
∴ Before loop, we have (i < mas_end).
The loop process is similar with Case 2, so we get the same
result.
Now we can conclude in all cases, we get (i <= mas_end) when doing
check. Then it is not necessary to do the check.

mm: refactor mm_access() to not return NULL
mm_access() can return NULL if the mm is not found, but this is handled
the same as an error in all callers, with some translating this into an
-ESRCH error.
Only proc_mem_open() returns NULL if no mm is found, however in this case
it is clearer and makes more sense to explicitly handle the error.
Additionally we take the opportunity to refactor the function to eliminate
unnecessary nesting.
Simplify things by simply returning -ESRCH if no mm is found - this both
eliminates confusing use of the IS_ERR_OR_NULL() macro, and simplifies
callers which would return -ESRCH by returning this error directly.
We now have only one active post-processing at any time, so we don't have
same race conditions that we had before. If slot selected for
post-processing gets freed or freed and reallocated it loses its PP_SLOT
flag and there is no way for such a slot to gain PP_SLOT flag again until
current post-processing terminates.
ZRAM_SAME slots cannot be post-processed (writeback or recompress) so do
not mark them ZRAM_IDLE. Same with ZRAM_WB slots, they cannot be
ZRAM_IDLE because they are not in zsmalloc pool anymore.
Writeback suffers from the same problem as recompression did before -
target slot selection for writeback is just a simple iteration over
zram->table entries (stored pages) which selects suboptimal targets for
writeback. This is especially problematic for writeback, because we
uncompress objects before writeback so each of them takes 4K out of
limited writeback storage. For example, when we take a 48 bytes slot and
store it as a 4K object to writeback device we only save 48 bytes of
memory (release from zsmalloc pool). We naturally want to pick the
largest objects for writeback, because then each writeback will release
the largest amount of memory.
This patch applies the same solution and strategy as for recompression
target selection: pp control (post-process) with 16 buckets of candidate
pp slots. Slots are assigned to pp buckets based on sizes - the larger
the slot the higher the group index. This gives us sorted by size lists
of candidate slots (in linear time), so that among post-processing
candidate slots we always select the largest ones first and maximize the
memory saving.
TEST
====
A very simple demonstration: zram is configured with a writeback device.
A limited writeback (wb_limit 2500 pages) is performed then, with a log of
sizes of slots that were written back. You can see that patched zram
selects slots for recompression in significantly different manner, which
leads to higher memory savings (see column #2 of mm_stat output).
Target slot selection for recompression is just a simple iteration over
zram->table entries (stored pages) from slot 0 to max slot. Given that
zram->table slots are written in random order and are not sorted by size,
a simple iteration over slots selects suboptimal targets for
recompression. This is not a problem if we recompress every single
zram->table slot, but we never do that in reality. In reality we limit
the number of slots we can recompress (via max_pages parameter) and hence
proper slot selection becomes very important. The strategy is quite
simple, suppose we have two candidate slots for recompression, one of size
48 bytes and one of size 2800 bytes, and we can recompress only one, then
it certainly makes more sense to pick 2800 entry for recompression.
Because even if we manage to compress 48 bytes objects even further the
savings are going to be very small. Potential savings after good
re-compression of 2800 bytes objects are much higher.
This patch reworks slot selection and introduces the strategy described
above: among candidate slots always select the biggest ones first.
For that the patch introduces zram_pp_ctl (post-processing) structure
which holds NUM_PP_BUCKETS pp buckets of slots. Slots are assigned to a
particular group based on their sizes - the larger the size of the slot
the higher the group index. This, basically, sorts slots by size in liner
time (we still perform just one iteration over zram->table slots). When
we select slot for recompression we always first lookup in higher pp
buckets (those that hold the largest slots). Which achieves the desired
behavior.
TEST
====
A very simple demonstration: zram is configured with zstd, and zstd with
dict as a recompression stream. A limited (max 4096 pages) recompression
is performed then, with a log of sizes of slots that were recompressed.
You can see that patched zram selects slots for recompression in
significantly different manner, which leads to higher memory savings (see
column #2 of mm_stat output).
zram: permit only one post-processing operation at a time
Both recompress and writeback soon will unlock slots during processing,
which makes things too complex wrt possible race-conditions. We still
want to clear PP_SLOT in slot_free, because this is how we figure out that
slot that was selected for post-processing has been released under us and
when we start post-processing we check if slot still has PP_SLOT set. At
the same time, theoretically, we can have something like this:
CPU0 CPU1
recompress
scan slots
set PP_SLOT
unlock slot
slot_free
clear PP_SLOT
allocate PP_SLOT
writeback
scan slots
set PP_SLOT
unlock slot
select PP-slot
test PP_SLOT
So recompress will not detect that slot has been re-used and re-selected
for concurrent writeback post-processing.
Make sure that we only permit on post-processing operation at a time. So
now recompress and writeback post-processing don't race against each
other, we only need to handle slot re-use (slot_free and write), which is
handled individually by each pp operation.
Having recompress and writeback competing for the same slots is not
exactly good anyway (can't imagine anyone doing that).
Patch series "zram: optimal post-processing target selection", v5.
Problem:
--------
Both recompression and writeback perform a very simple linear scan of all
zram slots in search for post-processing (writeback or recompress)
candidate slots. This often means that we pick the worst candidate for pp
(post-processing), e.g. a 48 bytes object for writeback, which is nearly
useless, because it only releases 48 bytes from zsmalloc pool, but
consumes an entire 4K slot in the backing device. Similarly,
recompression of an 48 bytes objects is unlikely to save more memory that
recompression of a 3000 bytes object. Both recompression and writeback
consume constrained resources (CPU time, batter, backing device storage
space) and quite often have a (daily) limit on the number of items they
post-process, so we should utilize those constrained resources in the most
optimal way.
Solution:
---------
This patch reworks the way we select pp targets. We, quite clearly, want
to sort all the candidates and always pick the largest, be it
recompression or writeback. Especially for writeback, because the larger
object we writeback the more memory we release. This series introduces
concept of pp buckets and pp scan/selection.
The scan step is a simple iteration over all zram->table entries, just
like what we currently do, but we don't post-process a candidate slot
immediately. Instead we assign it to a PP (post-processing) bucket. PP
bucket is, basically, a list which holds pp candidate slots that belong to
the same size class. PP buckets are 64 bytes apart, slots are not
strictly sorted within a bucket there is a 64 bytes variance.
The select step simply iterates over pp buckets from highest to lowest and
picks all candidate slots a particular buckets contains. So this gives us
sorted candidates (in linear time) and allows us to select most optimal
(largest) candidates for post-processing first.
This patch (of 7):
This flag indicates that the slot was selected as a candidate slot for
post-processing (pp) and was assigned to a pp bucket. It does not
necessarily mean that the slot is currently under post-processing, but may
mean so. The slot can loose its PP_SLOT flag, while still being in the
pp-bucket, if it's accessed or slot_free-ed.

mm/vmalloc: combine all TLB flush operations of KASAN shadow virtual address into one operation
When compiling kernel source 'make -j $(nproc)' with the up-and-running
KASAN-enabled kernel on a 256-core machine, the following soft lockup is
shown:
1. The following ftrace log shows that the lockup CPU spends too much
time iterating vmap_nodes and flushing TLB when purging vm_area
structures. (Some info is trimmed).
The drain_vmap_area_work() spends over 23 seconds.
There are 2805 flush_tlb_kernel_range() calls in the ftrace log.
* One is called in __purge_vmap_area_lazy().
* Others are called by purge_vmap_node->kasan_release_vmalloc.
purge_vmap_node() iteratively releases kasan vmalloc
allocations and flushes TLB for each vmap_area.
- [Rough calculation] Each flush_tlb_kernel_range() runs
about 7.5ms.
-- 2804 * 7.5ms = 21.03 seconds.
-- That's why a soft lock is triggered.
2. Extending the soft lockup time can work around the issue (For example,
# echo 60 > /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_thresh). This confirms the
above-mentioned speculation: drain_vmap_area_work() spends too much
time.
If we combine all TLB flush operations of the KASAN shadow virtual
address into one operation in the call path
'purge_vmap_node()->kasan_release_vmalloc()', the running time of
drain_vmap_area_work() can be saved greatly. The idea is from the
flush_tlb_kernel_range() call in __purge_vmap_area_lazy(). And, the
soft lockup won't be triggered.
Here is the test result based on 6.10:
[6.10 wo/ the patch]
1. ftrace latency profiling (record a trace if the latency > 20s).
echo 20000000 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_thresh
echo drain_vmap_area_work > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_graph_function
echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on
2. Run `make -j $(nproc)` to compile the kernel source
3. Once the soft lockup is reproduced, check the ftrace log:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

2. The soft lockup is not triggered and ftrace log is empty.
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

# | | | | | | |
3. Setting 'tracing_thresh' to 10/5 seconds does not get any ftrace
log.
4. Setting 'tracing_thresh' to 1 second gets ftrace log.
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
# tracer: function_graph

The worst execution time of drain_vmap_area_work() is about 1 second.

mm: shmem: fix khugepaged activation policy for shmem
Shmem has a separate interface (different from anonymous pages) to control
huge page allocation, that means shmem THP can be enabled while anonymous
THP is disabled. However, in this case, khugepaged will not start to
collapse shmem THP, which is unreasonable.
To fix this issue, we should call start_stop_khugepaged() to activate or
deactivate the khugepaged thread when setting shmem mTHP interfaces.
Moreover, add a new helper shmem_hpage_pmd_enabled() to help to check
whether shmem THP is enabled, which will determine if khugepaged should be
activated.

The mmap_region() function is somewhat terrifying, with spaghetti-like
control flow and numerous means by which issues can arise and incomplete
state, memory leaks and other unpleasantness can occur.
A large amount of the complexity arises from trying to handle errors late
in the process of mapping a VMA, which forms the basis of recently
observed issues with resource leaks and observable inconsistent state.
Taking advantage of previous patches in this series we move a number of
checks earlier in the code, simplifying things by moving the core of the
logic into a static internal function __mmap_region().
Doing this allows us to perform a number of checks up front before we do
any real work, and allows us to unwind the writable unmap check
unconditionally as required and to perform a CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_MAPLE_TREE
validation unconditionally also.
We move a number of things here:
1. We preallocate memory for the iterator before we call the file-backed
memory hook, allowing us to exit early and avoid having to perform
complicated and error-prone close/free logic. We carefully free
iterator state on both success and error paths.
2. The enclosing mmap_region() function handles the mapping_map_writable()
logic early. Previously the logic had the mapping_map_writable() at the
point of mapping a newly allocated file-backed VMA, and a matching
mapping_unmap_writable() on success and error paths.
We now do this unconditionally if this is a file-backed, shared writable
mapping. If a driver changes the flags to eliminate VM_MAYWRITE, however
doing so does not invalidate the seal check we just performed, and we in
any case always decrement the counter in the wrapper.
We perform a debug assert to ensure a driver does not attempt to do the
opposite.
3. We also move arch_validate_flags() up into the mmap_region()
function. This is only relevant on arm64 and sparc64, and the check is
only meaningful for SPARC with ADI enabled. We explicitly add a warning
for this arch if a driver invalidates this check, though the code ought
eventually to be fixed to eliminate the need for this.
With all of these measures in place, we no longer need to explicitly close
the VMA on error paths, as we place all checks which might fail prior to a
call to any driver mmap hook.
This eliminates an entire class of errors, makes the code easier to reason
about and more robust.

mm: refactor arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() and arm64 MTE handling
Currently MTE is permitted in two circumstances (desiring to use MTE
having been specified by the VM_MTE flag) - where MAP_ANONYMOUS is
specified, as checked by arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() and actualised by
setting the VM_MTE_ALLOWED flag, or if the file backing the mapping is
shmem, in which case we set VM_MTE_ALLOWED in shmem_mmap() when the mmap
hook is activated in mmap_region().
The function that checks that, if VM_MTE is set, VM_MTE_ALLOWED is also
set is the arm64 implementation of arch_validate_flags().
Unfortunately, we intend to refactor mmap_region() to perform this check
earlier, meaning that in the case of a shmem backing we will not have
invoked shmem_mmap() yet, causing the mapping to fail spuriously.
It is inappropriate to set this architecture-specific flag in general mm
code anyway, so a sensible resolution of this issue is to instead move the
check somewhere else.
We resolve this by setting VM_MTE_ALLOWED much earlier in do_mmap(), via
the arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() call.
This is an appropriate place to do this as we already check for the
MAP_ANONYMOUS case here, and the shmem file case is simply a variant of
the same idea - we permit RAM-backed memory.
This requires a modification to the arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() signature to
pass in a pointer to the struct file associated with the mapping, however
this is not too egregious as this is only used by two architectures anyway
- arm64 and parisc.
So this patch performs this adjustment and removes the unnecessary
assignment of VM_MTE_ALLOWED in shmem_mmap().

mm: unconditionally close VMAs on error
Incorrect invocation of VMA callbacks when the VMA is no longer in a
consistent state is bug prone and risky to perform.
With regards to the important vm_ops->close() callback We have gone to
great lengths to try to track whether or not we ought to close VMAs.
Rather than doing so and risking making a mistake somewhere, instead
unconditionally close and reset vma->vm_ops to an empty dummy operations
set with a NULL .close operator.
We introduce a new function to do so - vma_close() - and simplify existing
vms logic which tracked whether we needed to close or not.
This simplifies the logic, avoids incorrect double-calling of the .close()
callback and allows us to update error paths to simply call vma_close()
unconditionally - making VMA closure idempotent.
