This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect. - The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code. - The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed. - The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained. - The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime effects are anticipated. - The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark. - The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan noticed when working on the swap code. - The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak user-visible output. - The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's handling of large folios. - The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk() behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of kdamond's walking of DAMON regions. - The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory work for the future removal of page structure fields. - The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter" from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by huge page sizes. - The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings" from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and file-backed mappings. - The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping for pte-mapped large folios. - The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one microbenchmark. - The series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON docs. - The series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed when using CMA on large machines. - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages" from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the page's mapped/unmapped status. - The series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression operations preemptibly. - The series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan encountered while runnimg our selftests. - The series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to determine whether a particular page is a guard page. - The series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply wasn't being effective. - The series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this code. - The series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP Kconfig logic. - The series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for DAMON's aggregation interval tuning. - The series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize vmalloc. - The series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the code easier to follow. - The series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from Shakeel Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase which we accidentally added late last year. - The series "Add a command line option that enables control of how many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas Prescher does that. It allows the careful operator to significantly reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page initialization. - The series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb" from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page balancing code. - The series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters useful and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow and reject filters. Behaviour is made more consistent and the documention is updated accordingly. - The series "Switch zswap to object read/write APIs" from Yosry Ahmed updates zswap to the new object read/write APIs and thus permits the removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc. - The series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang does as it claims. - The series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts" from Alistair Popple regularizes the weird ZONE_DEVICE page refcount handling in DAX, permittig the removal of a number of special-case checks. - The series "refactor mremap and fix bug" from Lorenzo Stoakes is a preparatoty refactoring and cleanup of the mremap() code. - The series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) + CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" from David Hildenbrand reworks the manner in which we determine whether a large folio is known to be mapped exclusively into a single MM. - The series "mm/damon: add sysfs dirs for managing DAMOS filters based on handling layers" from SeongJae Park adds a couple of new sysfs directories to ease the management of DAMON/DAMOS filters. - The series "arch, mm: reduce code duplication in mem_init()" from Mike Rapoport consolidates many per-arch implementations of mem_init() into code generic code, where that is practical. - The series "mm/damon/sysfs: commit parameters online via damon_call()" from SeongJae Park continues the cleaning up of sysfs access to DAMON internal data. - The series "mm: page_ext: Introduce new iteration API" from Luiz Capitulino reworks the page_ext initialization to fix a boot-time crash which was observed with an unusual combination of compile and cmdline options. - The series "Buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) folio split" from Zi Yan reworks the code to split a folio into smaller folios. The main benefit is lessened memory consumption: fewer post-split folios are generated. - The series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split" from Zi Yan reduces the number of xarray xa_nodes which are generated during an xarray split. - The series "drivers/base/memory: Two cleanups" from Gavin Shan performs some maintenance work on the drivers/base/memory code. - The series "Add tracepoints for lowmem reserves, watermarks and totalreserve_pages" from Martin Liu adds some more tracepoints to the page allocator code. - The series "mm/madvise: cleanup requests validations and classifications" from SeongJae Park cleans up some warts which SeongJae observed during his earlier madvise work. - The series "mm/hwpoison: Fix regressions in memory failure handling" from Shuai Xue addresses two quite serious regressions which Shuai has observed in the memory-failure implementation. - The series "mm: reliable huge page allocator" from Johannes Weiner makes huge page allocations cheaper and more reliable by reducing fragmentation. - The series "Minor memcg cleanups & prep for memdescs" from Matthew Wilcox is preparatory work for the future implementation of memdescs. - The series "track memory used by balloon drivers" from Nico Pache introduces a way to track memory used by our various balloon drivers. - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for active pages" from Nhat Pham permits users to filter for active/inactive pages, separately for file and anon pages. - The series "Adding Proactive Memory Reclaim Statistics" from Hao Jia separates the proactive reclaim statistics from the direct reclaim statistics. - The series "mm/vmscan: don't try to reclaim hwpoison folio" from Jinjiang Tu fixes our handling of hwpoisoned pages within the reclaim code. * tag 'mm-stable-2025-03-30-16-52' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (431 commits) mm/page_alloc: remove unnecessary __maybe_unused in order_to_pindex() x86/mm: restore early initialization of high_memory for 32-bits mm/vmscan: don't try to reclaim hwpoison folio mm/hwpoison: introduce folio_contain_hwpoisoned_page() helper cgroup: docs: add pswpin and pswpout items in cgroup v2 doc mm: vmscan: split proactive reclaim statistics from direct reclaim statistics selftests/mm: speed up split_huge_page_test selftests/mm: uffd-unit-tests support for hugepages > 2M docs/mm/damon/design: document active DAMOS filter type mm/damon: implement a new DAMOS filter type for active pages fs/dax: don't disassociate zero page entries MM documentation: add "Unaccepted" meminfo entry selftests/mm: add commentary about 9pfs bugs fork: use __vmalloc_node() for stack allocation docs/mm: Physical Memory: Populate the "Zones" section xen: balloon: update the NR_BALLOON_PAGES state hv_balloon: update the NR_BALLOON_PAGES state balloon_compaction: update the NR_BALLOON_PAGES state meminfo: add a per node counter for balloon drivers mm: remove references to folio in __memcg_kmem_uncharge_page() ...
| * mm: CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT to prepare for not maintain per-page mapcounts ↵David Hildenbrand2025-03-171-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | in large folios We're close to the finishing line: let's introduce a new CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT config option where we will incrementally remove any dependencies on per-page mapcounts in large folios. Once that's done, we'll stop maintaining the per-page mapcounts with this config option enabled. CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT will be EXPERIMENTAL for now, as we'll have to learn about some of the real world impact of some of the implications. As writing "!CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" is really nasty, let's introduce a helper config option "CONFIG_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" that expresses the negation.

| * mm/rmap: basic MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb)David Hildenbrand2025-03-171-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For small folios, we traditionally use the mapcount to decide whether it was "certainly mapped exclusively" by a single MM (mapcount == 1) or whether it "maybe mapped shared" by multiple MMs (mapcount > 1). For PMD-sized folios that were PMD-mapped, we were able to use a similar mechanism (single PMD mapping), but for PTE-mapped folios and in the future folios that span multiple PMDs, this does not work. So we need a different mechanism to handle large folios. Let's add a new mechanism to detect whether a large folio is "certainly mapped exclusively", or whether it is "maybe mapped shared". We'll use this information next to optimize CoW reuse for PTE-mapped anonymous THP, and to convert folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_shared(), independent of per-page mapcounts. For each large folio, we'll have two slots, whereby a slot stores: (1) an MM id: unique id assigned to each MM (2) a per-MM mapcount If a slot is unoccupied, it can be taken by the next MM that maps folio page. In addition, we'll remember the current state -- "mapped exclusively" vs. "maybe mapped shared" -- and use a bit spinlock to sync on updates and to reduce the total number of atomic accesses on updates. In the future, it might be possible to squeeze a proper spinlock into "struct folio". For now, keep it simple, as we require the whole thing with THP only, that is incompatible with RT. As we have to squeeze this information into the "struct folio" of even folios of order-1 (2 pages), and we generally want to reduce the required metadata, we'll assign each MM a unique ID that can fit into an int. In total, we can squeeze everything into 4x int (2x long) on 64bit. 32bit support is a bit challenging, because we only have 2x long == 2x int in order-1 folios. But we can make it work for now, because we neither expect many MMs nor very large folios on 32bit. We will reliably detect folios as "mapped exclusively" vs. "mapped shared" as long as only two MMs map pages of a folio at one point in time -- for example with fork() and short-lived child processes, or with apps that hand over state from one instance to another. As soon as three MMs are involved at the same time, we might detect "maybe mapped shared" although the folio is "mapped exclusively". Example 1: (1) App1 faults in a (shmem/file-backed) folio page -> Tracked as MM0 (2) App2 faults in a folio page -> Tracked as MM1 (4) App1 unmaps all folio pages -> We will detect "mapped exclusively". Example 2: (1) App1 faults in a (shmem/file-backed) folio page -> Tracked as MM0 (2) App2 faults in a folio page -> Tracked as MM1 (3) App3 faults in a folio page -> No slot available, tracked as "unknown" (4) App1 and App2 unmap all folio pages -> We will detect "maybe mapped shared". Make use of __always_inline to keep possible performance degradation when (un)mapping large folios to a minimum. Note: by squeezing the two flags into the "unsigned long" that stores the MM ids, we can use non-atomic __bit_spin_unlock() and non-atomic setting/clearing of the "maybe mapped shared" bit, effectively not adding any new atomics on the hot path when updating the large mapcount + new metadata, which further helps reduce the runtime overhead in micro-benchmarks.

| * mm/sparse: allow for alternate vmemmap section init at bootFrank van der Linden2025-03-161-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add functions that are called just before the per-section memmap is initialized and just before the memmap page structures are initialized. They are called sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_early and sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_late, respectively. This allows for mm subsystems to add calls to initialize memmap and page structures in a specific way, if using SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. Specifically, hugetlb can pre-HVO bootmem allocated pages that way, so that no time and resources are wasted on allocating vmemmap pages, only to free them later (and possibly unnecessarily running the system out of memory in the process). Refactor some code and export a few convenience functions for external use. In sparse_init_nid, skip any sections that are already initialized, e.g. they have been initialized by sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_early already. The hugetlb code to use these functions will be added in a later commit. Export section_map_size, as any alternate memmap init code will want to use it. The internal config option to enable this is SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_PREINIT, which is selected if an architecture-specific option, ARCH_WANT_HUGETLB_VMEMMAP_PREINIT, is set. In the future, if other subsystems want to do preinit too, they can do it in a similar fashion. The internal config option is there because a section flag is used, and the number of flags available is architecture-dependent (see mmzone.h). Architecures can decide if there is room for the flag when enabling options that select SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_PREINIT. Fortunately, as of right now, all sparse vmemmap using architectures do have room.

| * mm: zbud: remove zbudYosry Ahmed2025-03-161-18/+0

The only advantage of zbud is a marginal performance improvement that by no means justify the memory overhead. Historically, zsmalloc had significantly worse latency than zbud and z3fold but offered better memory savings. This is no longer the case as shown by a simple recent analysis [1]. In a kernel build test on tmpfs in a limited cgroup, zbud 2-3% less time than zsmalloc, but at the cost of using ~32% more memory (1.5G vs 1.13G). The tradeoff does not make sense for zbud in any practical scenario. The only alleged advantage of zbud is not having the dependency on CONFIG_MMU, but CONFIG_SWAP already depends on CONFIG_MMU anyway, and zbud is only used by zswap. Remove zbud after z3fold's removal, leaving zsmalloc as the one and only zpool allocator. Leave the removal of the zpool API (and its associated config options) to a followup cleanup after no more allocators show up. Deprecating zbud for a few cycles before removing it was initially proposed [2], like z3fold was marked as deprecated for 2 cycles [3]. However, Johannes rightfully pointed out that the 2 cycles is too short for most downstream consumers, and z3fold was deprecated first only as a courtesy anyway.

* | slab: don't batch kvfree_rcu() with SLUB_TINYVlastimil Babka2025-02-051-0/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kvfree_rcu() is batched for better performance except on TINY_RCU, which is a simple implementation for small UP systems. Similarly SLUB_TINY is an option intended for small systems, whether or not used together with TINY_RCU. In case SLUB_TINY is used with !TINY_RCU, it makes arguably sense to not do the batching and limit the memory footprint. It's also suboptimal to have RCU-specific #ifdefs in slab code. With that, add CONFIG_KVFREE_RCU_BATCHED to determine whether batching kvfree_rcu() implementation is used. It is not set by a user prompt, but enabled by default and disabled in case TINY_RCU or SLUB_TINY are enabled. Use the new config for #ifdef's in slab code and extend their scope to cover all code used by the batched kvfree_rcu(). For example there's no need to perform kvfree_rcu_init() if the batching is disabled.

The memhp_default_state boot param enables runtime config, but it's not possible to do this at build-time. Remove CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE, and replace it with CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_* choices that sync with the boot param. Selections: CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_OFFLINE => mhp_default_online_type = "offline" Memory will not be onlined automatically. CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_ONLINE_AUTO => mhp_default_online_type = "online" Memory will be onlined automatically in a zone deemed. appropriate by the kernel. CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_ONLINE_KERNEL => mhp_default_online_type = "online_kernel" Memory will be onlined automatically. The zone may allow kernel data (e.g. ZONE_NORMAL). CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_ONLINE_MOVABLE => mhp_default_online_type = "online_movable" Memory will be onlined automatically. The zone will be ZONE_MOVABLE. Default to CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_OFFLINE to match the existing default CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE=n behavior. Existing users of CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE=y should use CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_ONLINE_AUTO.

* mm: pgtable: reclaim empty PTE page in madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)Qi Zheng2025-01-131-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now in order to pursue high performance, applications mostly use some high-performance user-mode memory allocators, such as jemalloc or tcmalloc. These memory allocators use madvise(MADV_DONTNEED or MADV_FREE) to release physical memory, but neither MADV_DONTNEED nor MADV_FREE will release page table memory, which may cause huge page table memory usage. The following are a memory usage snapshot of one process which actually happened on our server: VIRT: 55t RES: 590g VmPTE: 110g In this case, most of the page table entries are empty. For such a PTE page where all entries are empty, we can actually free it back to the system for others to use. As a first step, this commit aims to synchronously free the empty PTE pages in madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) case. We will detect and free empty PTE pages in zap_pte_range(), and will add zap_details.reclaim_pt to exclude cases other than madvise(MADV_DONTNEED). Once an empty PTE is detected, we first try to hold the pmd lock within the pte lock. If successful, we clear the pmd entry directly (fast path). Otherwise, we wait until the pte lock is released, then re-hold the pmd and pte locks and loop PTRS_PER_PTE times to check pte_none() to re-detect whether the PTE page is empty and free it (slow path). For other cases such as madvise(MADV_FREE), consider scanning and freeing empty PTE pages asynchronously in the future. The following code snippet can show the effect of optimization: mmap 50G while (1) { for (; i < 1024 * 25; i++) { touch 2M memory madvise MADV_DONTNEED 2M } } As we can see, the memory usage of VmPTE is reduced: before after VIRT 50.0 GB 50.0 GB RES 3.1 MB 3.1 MB VmPTE 102640 KB 240 KB [zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com: fix uninitialized symbol 'ptl'] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20241206112348.51570-1-zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/224e6a4e-43b5-4080-bdd8-b0a6fb2f0853@stanley.mountain/ Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/92aba2b319a734913f18ba41e7d86a265f0b84e2.1733305182.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com Signed-off-by: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> Cc: Lorenzo Stoakes <lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: Muchun Song <muchun.song@linux.dev> Cc: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org> Cc: Zach O'Keefe <zokeefe@google.com> Cc: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

* | resource: remove dependency on SPARSEMEM from GET_FREE_REGIONHuang Ying2024-10-281-1/+0
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We want to use the functions (get_free_mem_region()) configured via GET_FREE_REGION in resource kunit tests. However, GET_FREE_REGION depends on SPARSEMEM now. This makes resource kunit tests cannot be built on some architectures lacking SPARSEMEM, or causes config warning as follows, WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for GET_FREE_REGION Depends on [n]: SPARSEMEM [=n] Selected by [y]: - RESOURCE_KUNIT_TEST [=y] && RUNTIME_TESTING_MENU [=y] && KUNIT [=y] When get_free_mem_region() was introduced the only consumers were those looking to pass the address range to memremap_pages(). That address range needed to be mindful of the maximum addressable platform physical address which at the time only SPARSMEM defined via MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS. Given that memremap_pages() also depended on SPARSEMEM via ZONE_DEVICE, it was easier to just depend on that definition than invent a general MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS concept outside of SPARSEMEM. Turns out that decision was buggy and did not account for KASAN consumption of physical address space. That problem was resolved recently with commit ea72ce5da228 ("x86/kaslr: Expose and use the end of the physical memory address space"), and GET_FREE_REGION dropped its MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS dependency. Then commit 99185c10d5d9 ("resource, kunit: add test case for region_intersects()"), went ahead and fixed up the only remaining dependency on SPARSEMEM which was usage of the PA_SECTION_SHIFT macro for setting the default alignment. A PAGE_SIZE fallback is fine in the SPARSEMEM=n case. With those build dependencies gone GET_FREE_REGION no longer depends on SPARSEMEM. So, the patch removes dependency on SPARSEMEM from GET_FREE_REGION to fix the build issues.

* mm: make SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS depend on SMPGuenter Roeck2024-09-261-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS depends on "NR_CPUS >= 4". Unfortunately, that evaluates to true if there is no NR_CPUS configuration option. This results in CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS=y for mac_defconfig. This in turn causes the m68k "q800" and "virt" machines to crash in qemu if debugging options are enabled. Making CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS dependent on the existence of NR_CPUS does not work since a dependency on the existence of a numeric Kconfig entry always evaluates to false. Example: config HAVE_NO_NR_CPUS def_bool y depends on !NR_CPUS After adding this to a Kconfig file, "make defconfig" includes: $ grep NR_CPUS .config CONFIG_NR_CPUS=64 CONFIG_HAVE_NO_NR_CPUS=y Defining NR_CPUS for m68k does not help either since many architectures define NR_CPUS only for SMP configurations. Make SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS depend on SMP instead to solve the problem.

* mm: z3fold: deprecate CONFIG_Z3FOLDYosry Ahmed2024-09-171-6/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The z3fold compressed pages allocator is rarely used, most users use zsmalloc. The only disadvantage of zsmalloc in comparison is the dependency on MMU, and zbud is a more common option for !MMU as it was the default zswap allocator for a long time. Historically, zsmalloc had worse latency than zbud and z3fold but offered better memory savings. This is no longer the case as shown by a simple recent analysis [1]. That analysis showed that z3fold does not have any advantage over zsmalloc or zbud considering both performance and memory usage. In a kernel build test on tmpfs in a limited cgroup, z3fold took 3% more time and used 1.8% more memory. The latency of zswap_load() was 7% higher, and that of zswap_store() was 10% higher. Zsmalloc is better in all metrics. Moreover, z3fold apparently has latent bugs, which was made noticeable by a recent soft lockup bug report with z3fold [2]. Switching to zsmalloc not only fixed the problem, but also reduced the swap usage from 6~8G to 1~2G. Other users have also reported being bitten by mistakenly enabling z3fold. Other than hurting users, z3fold is repeatedly causing wasted engineering effort. Apart from investigating the above bug, it came up in multiple development discussions (e.g. [3]) as something we need to handle, when there aren't any legit users (at least not intentionally). The natural course of action is to deprecate z3fold, and remove in a few cycles if no objections are raised from active users. Next on the list should be zbud, as it offers marginal latency gains at the cost of huge memory waste when compared to zsmalloc. That one will need to wait until zsmalloc does not depend on MMU. Rename the user-visible config option from CONFIG_Z3FOLD to CONFIG_Z3FOLD_DEPRECATED so that users with CONFIG_Z3FOLD=y get a new prompt with explanation during make oldconfig. Also, remove CONFIG_Z3FOLD=y from defconfigs.

* mm: introduce ARCH_SUPPORTS_HUGE_PFNMAP and special bits to pmd/pudPeter Xu2024-09-171-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch series "mm: Support huge pfnmaps", v2. Overview ======== This series implements huge pfnmaps support for mm in general. Huge pfnmap allows e.g. VM_PFNMAP vmas to map in either PMD or PUD levels, similar to what we do with dax / thp / hugetlb so far to benefit from TLB hits. Now we extend that idea to PFN mappings, e.g. PCI MMIO bars where it can grow as large as 8GB or even bigger. Currently, only x86_64 (1G+2M) and arm64 (2M) are supported. The last patch (from Alex Williamson) will be the first user of huge pfnmap, so as to enable vfio-pci driver to fault in huge pfn mappings. Implementation ============== In reality, it's relatively simple to add such support comparing to many other types of mappings, because of PFNMAP's specialties when there's no vmemmap backing it, so that most of the kernel routines on huge mappings should simply already fail for them, like GUPs or old-school follow_page() (which is recently rewritten to be folio_walk* APIs by David). One trick here is that we're still unmature on PUDs in generic paths here and there, as DAX is so far the only user. This patchset will add the 2nd user of it. Hugetlb can be a 3rd user if the hugetlb unification work can go on smoothly, but to be discussed later. The other trick is how to allow gup-fast working for such huge mappings even if there's no direct sign of knowing whether it's a normal page or MMIO mapping. This series chose to keep the pte_special solution, so that it reuses similar idea on setting a special bit to pfnmap PMDs/PUDs so that gup-fast will be able to identify them and fail properly. Along the way, we'll also notice that the major pgtable pfn walker, aka, follow_pte(), will need to retire soon due to the fact that it only works with ptes. A new set of simple API is introduced (follow_pfnmap* API) to be able to do whatever follow_pte() can already do, plus that it can also process huge pfnmaps now. Half of this series is about that and converting all existing pfnmap walkers to use the new API properly. Hopefully the new API also looks better to avoid exposing e.g. pgtable lock details into the callers, so that it can be used in an even more straightforward way. Here, three more options will be introduced and involved in huge pfnmap: - ARCH_SUPPORTS_HUGE_PFNMAP Arch developers will need to select this option when huge pfnmap is supported in arch's Kconfig. After this patchset applied, both x86_64 and arm64 will start to enable it by default. - ARCH_SUPPORTS_PMD_PFNMAP / ARCH_SUPPORTS_PUD_PFNMAP These options are for driver developers to identify whether current arch / config supports huge pfnmaps, making decision on whether it can use the huge pfnmap APIs to inject them. One can refer to the last vfio-pci patch from Alex on the use of them properly in a device driver. So after the whole set applied, and if one would enable some dynamic debug lines in vfio-pci core files, we should observe things like: vfio-pci 0000:00:06.0: vfio_pci_mmap_huge_fault(,order = 9) BAR 0 page offset 0x0: 0x100 vfio-pci 0000:00:06.0: vfio_pci_mmap_huge_fault(,order = 9) BAR 0 page offset 0x200: 0x100 vfio-pci 0000:00:06.0: vfio_pci_mmap_huge_fault(,order = 9) BAR 0 page offset 0x400: 0x100 In this specific case, it says that vfio-pci faults in PMDs properly for a few BAR0 offsets. Patch Layout ============ Patch 1: Introduce the new options mentioned above for huge PFNMAPs Patch 2: A tiny cleanup Patch 3-8: Preparation patches for huge pfnmap (include introduce special bit for pmd/pud) Patch 9-16: Introduce follow_pfnmap*() API, use it everywhere, and then drop follow_pte() API Patch 17: Add huge pfnmap support for x86_64 Patch 18: Add huge pfnmap support for arm64 Patch 19: Add vfio-pci support for all kinds of huge pfnmaps (Alex) TODO ==== More architectures / More page sizes ------------------------------------ Currently only x86_64 (2M+1G) and arm64 (2M) are supported. There seems to have plan to support arm64 1G later on top of this series [2]. Any arch will need to first support THP / THP_1G, then provide a special bit in pmds/puds to support huge pfnmaps. remap_pfn_range() support ------------------------- Currently, remap_pfn_range() still only maps PTEs. With the new option, remap_pfn_range() can logically start to inject either PMDs or PUDs when the alignment requirements match on the VAs. When the support is there, it should be able to silently benefit all drivers that is using remap_pfn_range() in its mmap() handler on better TLB hit rate and overall faster MMIO accesses similar to processor on hugepages. More driver support ------------------- VFIO is so far the only consumer for the huge pfnmaps after this series applied. Besides above remap_pfn_range() generic optimization, device driver can also try to optimize its mmap() on a better VA alignment for either PMD/PUD sizes. This may, iiuc, normally require userspace changes, as the driver doesn't normally decide the VA to map a bar. But I don't think I know all the drivers to know the full picture. Credits all go to Alex on help testing the GPU/NIC use cases above.

* mm: Kconfig: fixup zsmalloc configurationSergey Senozhatsky2024-09-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | zsmalloc is not exclusive to zswap. Commit b3fbd58fcbb1 ("mm: Kconfig: simplify zswap configuration") made CONFIG_ZSMALLOC only visible when CONFIG_ZSWAP is selected, which makes it impossible to menuconfig zsmalloc-specific features (stats, chain-size, etc.) on systems that use ZRAM but don't have ZSWAP enabled. Make zsmalloc depend on both ZRAM and ZSWAP.

I'm sure both Hexagon users are grateful, but it does reduce complexity a little. We can also remove reset_first_obj_offset() as calling __ClearPageZsmalloc() will now reset all 32 bits of page_type.

* mm: turn USE_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS / USE_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS into Kconfig optionsDavid Hildenbrand2024-09-011-7/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch series "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications". This series is a follow up to the fixes: "[PATCH v1 0/2] mm/hugetlb: fix hugetlb vs. core-mm PT locking" When working on the fixes, I wondered why 8xx is fine (-> never uses split PT locks) and how PT locking even works properly with PMD page table sharing (-> always requires split PMD PT locks). Let's improve the split PT lock detection, make hugetlb properly depend on it and make 8xx bail out if it would ever get enabled by accident. As an alternative to patch #3 we could extend the Kconfig SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS option from patch #2 -- but enforcing it closer to the code that actually implements it feels a bit nicer for documentation purposes, and there is no need to actually disable it because it should always be disabled (!SMP). Did a bunch of cross-compilations to make sure that split PTE/PMD PT locks are still getting used where we would expect them. [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240725183955.2268884-1-david@redhat.com This patch (of 3): Let's clean that up a bit and prepare for depending on CONFIG_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCKS in other Kconfig options. More cleanups would be reasonable (like the arch-specific "depends on" for CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS), but we'll leave that for another day.

These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels. - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My bad. - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to folio_alloc_mpol()" - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability of cgroup writeback" - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache index". - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing. - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is "Restructure va_high_addr_switch". - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to simplify code". - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection". - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull. - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying. - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm: zswap: trivial folio conversions". - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first", Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end objective of full support of large folio swapin/out. - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code. - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic improvements in pagefault latency are realized. - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to fs/proc/internal.h". - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually". - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"". - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers and utilize them". - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark. It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless all CPUs are pegged. - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes". - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that thing. - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory". This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM. - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit function". - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()" David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially modernizing its use of pageframe fields. - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()". - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline() pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks. - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio" implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large folio userspace copying. - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park. - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does that. - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault folio isolation + checks under PTL". - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various readahead quirks". - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's self testing code. - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable. - Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM. - Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1" - Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim" adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file. - The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to monitor and handle this situation. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing. - SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements" does those things. - In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock" Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory utilization. - Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block. - Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to /proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series is "query VMAs from /proc/<pid>/maps". - In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information related to multisize THP splitting. - Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits userspace to use all available huge page sizes. - In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and not very useful feature from slab fault injection. * tag 'mm-stable-2024-07-21-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (411 commits) mm/mglru: fix ineffective protection calculation mm/zswap: fix a white space issue mm/hugetlb: fix kernel NULL pointer dereference when migrating hugetlb folio mm/hugetlb: fix possible recursive locking detected warning mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding to LRU batch mm/numa_balancing: teach mpol_to_str about the balancing mode mm: memcg1: convert charge move flags to unsigned long long alloc_tag: fix page_ext_get/page_ext_put sequence during page splitting lib: reuse page_ext_data() to obtain codetag_ref lib: add missing newline character in the warning message mm/mglru: fix overshooting shrinker memory mm/mglru: fix div-by-zero in vmpressure_calc_level() mm/kmemleak: replace strncpy() with strscpy() mm, page_alloc: put should_fail_alloc_page() back behing CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC mm, slab: put should_failslab() back behind CONFIG_SHOULD_FAILSLAB mm: ignore data-race in __swap_writepage hugetlbfs: ensure generic_hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() returns higher address than mmap_min_addr mm: shmem: rename mTHP shmem counters mm: swap_state: use folio_alloc_mpol() in __read_swap_cache_async() mm/migrate: putback split folios when numa hint migration fails ...

The help text says that for "arm" the value should be no higher than 32768 but it's only talking about 32-bit ARM. Adding arm64 to the above list can make this more clear and avoid confusing users who may think that the 32k limit would also apply to 64-bit ARM.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Let's clean it up: use a proper page type and store our data (offset into a page) in the lower 16 bit as documented. We won't be able to support 256 KiB base pages, which is acceptable. Teach Kconfig to handle that cleanly using a new CONFIG_HAVE_ZSMALLOC. Based on this, we should do a proper "struct zsdesc" conversion, as proposed in [1]. This removes the last _mapcount/page_type offender.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce CONFIG_SLAB_BUCKETS which provides the infrastructure to support separated kmalloc buckets (in the following kmem_buckets_create() patches and future codetag-based separation). Since this will provide a mitigation for a very common case of exploits, it is recommended to enable this feature for general purpose distros. By default, the new Kconfig will be enabled if CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED is enabled (and it is added to the hardening.config Kconfig fragment). To be able to choose which buckets to allocate from, make the buckets available to the internal kmalloc interfaces by adding them as the second argument, rather than depending on the buckets being chosen from the fixed set of global buckets. Where the bucket is not available, pass NULL, which means "use the default system kmalloc bucket set" (the prior existing behavior), as implemented in kmalloc_slab(). To avoid adding the extra argument when !CONFIG_SLAB_BUCKETS, only the top-level macros and static inlines use the buckets argument (where they are stripped out and compiled out respectively). The actual extern functions can then be built without the argument, and the internals fall back to the global kmalloc buckets unconditionally.

The series removes the hugetlb slow gup path after a previous refactor work [1], so that slow gup now uses the exact same path to process all kinds of memory including hugetlb. For the long term, we may want to remove most, if not all, call sites of huge_pte_offset(). It'll be ideal if that API can be completely dropped from arch hugetlb API. This series is one small step towards merging hugetlb specific codes into generic mm paths. From that POV, this series removes one reference to huge_pte_offset() out of many others. One goal of such a route is that we can reconsider merging hugetlb features like High Granularity Mapping (HGM). It was not accepted in the past because it may add lots of hugetlb specific codes and make the mm code even harder to maintain. With a merged codeset, features like HGM can hopefully share some code with THP, legacy (PMD+) or modern (continuous PTEs). To make it work, the generic slow gup code will need to at least understand hugepd, which is already done like so in fast-gup. Due to the specialty of hugepd to be software-only solution (no hardware recognizes the hugepd format, so it's purely artificial structures), there's chance we can merge some or all hugepd formats with cont_pte in the future. That question is yet unsettled from Power side to have an acknowledgement. As of now for this series, I kept the hugepd handling because we may still need to do so before getting a clearer picture of the future of hugepd. The other reason is simply that we did it already for fast-gup and most codes are still around to be reused. It'll make more sense to keep slow/fast gup behave the same before a decision is made to remove hugepd. There's one major difference for slow-gup on cont_pte / cont_pmd handling, currently supported on three architectures (aarch64, riscv, ppc). Before the series, slow gup will be able to recognize e.g. cont_pte entries with the help of huge_pte_offset() when hstate is around. Now it's gone but still working, by looking up pgtable entries one by one. It's not ideal, but hopefully this change should not affect yet on major workloads. There's some more information in the commit message of the last patch. If this would be a concern, we can consider teaching slow gup to recognize cont pte/pmd entries, and that should recover the lost performance. But I doubt its necessity for now, so I kept it as simple as it can be. Patch layout ============= Patch 1-8: Preparation works, or cleanups in relevant code paths Patch 9-11: Teach slow gup with all kinds of huge entries (pXd, hugepd) Patch 12: Drop hugetlb_follow_page_mask() More information can be found in the commit messages of each patch.

Beside being semantically wrong, this unnecessarily ties all subsystems that need to allocate code, such as ftrace, kprobes and BPF to modules and puts the burden of code allocation to the modules code. Several architectures override module_alloc() because of various constraints where the executable memory can be located and this causes additional obstacles for improvements of code allocation. Start splitting code allocation from modules by introducing execmem_alloc() and execmem_free() APIs. Initially, execmem_alloc() is a wrapper for module_alloc() and execmem_free() is a replacement of module_memfree() to allow updating all call sites to use the new APIs. Since architectures define different restrictions on placement, permissions, alignment and other parameters for memory that can be used by different subsystems that allocate executable memory, execmem_alloc() takes a type argument, that will be used to identify the calling subsystem and to allow architectures define parameters for ranges suitable for that subsystem.

This means that, now, we don't have any perspective of an "autodetection of memory-side-cache" that triggers the enablement of the shuffle page allocator. Therefore, let the documentation reflect that the only way to enable the shuffle page allocator is by setting `page_alloc.shuffle=1`.

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 > PAGE_SIZE) * sparc32 (vac_cache_size > PAGE_SIZE) * sparc64 (L1DCACHE_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE) * xtensa (DCACHE_WAY_SIZE > 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".

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.

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. >=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 <8GB machines. So with CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_NEVER we can use the same kernel image on both >=8GB and <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.

| * | | zswap: shrink zswap pool based on memory pressureNhat Pham2023-12-121-0/+14

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.

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).

Since SLUB is the only remaining allocator, remove the allocator choice, make CONFIG_SLUB a "def_bool y" for now and remove all explicit dependencies on SLUB or SLAB as it's now always enabled. Make every option's verbose name and description refer to "the slab allocator" without refering to the specific implementation. Do not rename the CONFIG_ option names yet. Everything under #ifdef CONFIG_SLAB, and mm/slab.c is now dead code, all code under #ifdef CONFIG_SLUB is now always compiled.
