| * Docs/mm/damon/design: document 'age' of regionSeongJae Park2023-06-191-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch series "Docs/{mm,admin-guide}damon: update design and usage docs". Update DAMON design and usage documents for outdated and unnecessarily duplicated parts. This patch (of 7): The 'age' of each region in DAMON monitoring results is an important concept for both monitoring part and DAMOS. And DAMOS section of the design document is mentioning it. However, the age itself is not explained in the document. Add a section for that.

| * mm/pgtable: allow pte_offset_map[_lock]() to failHugh Dickins2023-06-191-6/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make pte_offset_map() a wrapper for __pte_offset_map() (optionally outputs pmdval), pte_offset_map_lock() a sparse __cond_lock wrapper for __pte_offset_map_lock(): those __funcs added in mm/pgtable-generic.c. __pte_offset_map() do pmdval validation (including pmd_clear_bad() when pmd_bad()), returning NULL if pmdval is not for a page table. __pte_offset_map_lock() verify pmdval unchanged after getting the lock, trying again if it changed. No #ifdef CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE around them: that could be done to cover the imminent case, but we expect to generalize it later, and it makes a mess of where to do the pmd_bad() clearing. Add pte_offset_map_nolock(): outputs ptl like pte_offset_map_lock(), without actually taking the lock. This will be preferred to open uses of pte_lockptr(), because (when split ptlock is in page table's struct page) it points to the right lock for the returned pte pointer, even if *pmd gets changed racily afterwards. Update corresponding Documentation. Do not add the anticipated rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()s yet: they have to wait until all architectures are balancing pte_offset_map()s with pte_unmap()s (as in the arch series posted earlier). But comment where they will go, so that it's easy to add them for experiments. And only when those are in place can transient racy failure cases be enabled. Add more safety for the PAE mismatched pmd_low pmd_high case at that time.

Fix the minor issues and update documents. This patch (of 10): The first two questions of DAMON faqs have raised when DAMON patches were first submitted. More than one year has passed since DAMON patches get merged in the mainline, and that kind of questions are not asked nowadays. Remove the questions.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is based on an earlier blog post at people.kernel.org, it describes the concepts about page tables that were hardest for me to grasp when dealing with them for the first time, such as the prevalent three-letter acronyms pfn, pgd, p4d, pud, pmd and pte. I don't know if this is what people want, but it's what I would have wanted. The wording, introduction, choice of initial subjects and choice of style is mine. I discussed at one point with Mike Rapoport to bring this into the kernel documentation, so here is a small proposal. The current form is augmented in response to feedback from Mike Rapoport, Matthew Wilcox, Jonathan Cameron, Kuan-Ying Lee, Randy Dunlap and Bagas Sanjaya.

* / mm: page_table_check: Make it dependent on EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAMRuihan Li2023-05-291-0/+19
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Without EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM, users are allowed to map arbitrary physical memory regions into the userspace via /dev/mem. At the same time, pages may change their properties (e.g., from anonymous pages to named pages) while they are still being mapped in the userspace, leading to "corruption" detected by the page table check. To avoid these false positives, this patch makes PAGE_TABLE_CHECK depends on EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM. This dependency is understandable because PAGE_TABLE_CHECK is a hardening technique but /dev/mem without STRICT_DEVMEM (i.e., !EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM) is itself a security problem. Even with EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM, I/O pages may be still allowed to be mapped via /dev/mem. However, these pages are always considered as named pages, so they won't break the logic used in the page table check.

| * | shmem: add support to ignore swapLuis Chamberlain2023-03-281-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In doing experimentations with shmem having the option to avoid swap becomes a useful mechanism. One of the *raves* about brd over shmem is you can avoid swap, but that's not really a good reason to use brd if we can instead use shmem. Using brd has its own good reasons to exist, but just because "tmpfs" doesn't let you do that is not a great reason to avoid it if we can easily add support for it. I don't add support for reconfiguring incompatible options, but if we really wanted to we can add support for that. To avoid swap we use mapping_set_unevictable() upon inode creation, and put a WARN_ON_ONCE() stop-gap on writepages() for reclaim.

| * mm: discard __GFP_ATOMICNeilBrown2023-02-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __GFP_ATOMIC serves little purpose. Its main effect is to set ALLOC_HARDER which adds a few little boosts to increase the chance of an allocation succeeding, one of which is to lower the water-mark at which it will succeed. It is *always* paired with __GFP_HIGH which sets ALLOC_HIGH which also adjusts this watermark. It is probable that other users of __GFP_HIGH should benefit from the other little bonuses that __GFP_ATOMIC gets. __GFP_ATOMIC also gives a warning if used with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM. There is little point to this. We already get a might_sleep() warning if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is set. __GFP_ATOMIC allows the "watermark_boost" to be side-stepped. It is probable that testing ALLOC_HARDER is a better fit here. __GFP_ATOMIC is used by tegra-smmu.c to check if the allocation might sleep. This should test __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM instead. This patch: - removes __GFP_ATOMIC - allows __GFP_HIGH allocations to ignore watermark boosting as well as GFP_ATOMIC requests. - makes other adjustments as suggested by the above. The net result is not change to GFP_ATOMIC allocations. Other allocations that use __GFP_HIGH will benefit from a few different extra privileges. This affects: xen, dm, md, ntfs3 the vermillion frame buffer hibernation ksm swap all of which likely produce more benefit than cost if these selected allocation are more likely to succeed quickly.

| * Documentation/mm: update references to __m[un]lock_page() to *_folio()Lorenzo Stoakes2023-02-021-15/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We now pass folios to these functions, so update the documentation accordingly. Additionally, correct the outdated reference to __pagevec_lru_add_fn(), the referenced action occurs in __munlock_folio() directly now, replace reference to lru_cache_add_inactive_or_unevictable() with the modern folio equivalent folio_add_lru_vma() and reference folio flags by the flag name rather than accessor.

| * mm/highmem: add notes about conversions from kmap{,_atomic}()Fabio M. De Francesco2023-02-021-10/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kmap() and kmap_atomic() have been deprecated. kmap_local_page() should always be used in new code and the call sites of the two deprecated functions should be converted. This latter task can lead to errors if it is not carried out with the necessary attention to the context around and between the maps and unmaps. Therefore, add further information to the Highmem's documentation for the purpose to make it clearer that (1) kmap() and kmap_atomic() must not any longer be called in new code and (2) developers doing conversions from kmap() amd kmap_atomic() are expected to take care of the context around and between the maps and unmaps, in order to not break the code. Relevant parts of this patch have been taken from messages exchanged privately with Ira Weiny (thanks!).
