Patch series "mm/nommu: don't use VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_PRIVATE mappings".
Trying to reduce the confusion around VM_SHARED and VM_MAYSHARE first
requires !CONFIG_MMU to stop using VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_PRIVATE mappings.
CONFIG_MMU only sets VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_SHARED mappings.
This paves the way for further VM_MAYSHARE and VM_SHARED cleanups: for
example, renaming VM_MAYSHARED to VM_MAP_SHARED to make it cleaner what is
actually means.
Let's first get the weird case out of the way and not use VM_MAYSHARE in
MAP_PRIVATE mappings, using a new VM_MAYOVERLAY flag instead.
This patch (of 3):
We want to stop using VM_MAYSHARE in private mappings to pave the way for
clarifying the semantics of VM_MAYSHARE vs. VM_SHARED and reduce the
confusion. While CONFIG_MMU uses VM_MAYSHARE to represent MAP_SHARED,
!CONFIG_MMU also sets VM_MAYSHARE for selected R/O private file mappings
that are an effective overlay of a file mapping.
Let's factor out all relevant VM_MAYSHARE checks in !CONFIG_MMU code into
is_nommu_shared_mapping() first.
Note that whenever VM_SHARED is set, VM_MAYSHARE must be set as well
(unless there is a serious BUG). So there is not need to test for
VM_SHARED manually.
No functional change intended.

Add a test to assert that we can mremap() and expand a mapping starting
from an offset within an existing mapping. We unmap the last page in a 3
page mapping to ensure that the remap should always succeed, before
remapping from the 2nd page.
This is additionally a regression test for the issue solved in "mm,
mremap: fix mremap() expanding vma with addr inside vma" and confirmed to
fail prior to the change and pass after it.
Finally, this patch updates the existing mremap expand merge test to check
error conditions and reduce code duplication between the two tests.

When __mpage_writepage() is called for a page beyond EOF, it will go and
allocate all blocks underlying the page. This is not only unnecessary but
this way blocks can get leaked (e.g. if a page beyond EOF is marked dirty

zap_page_range was originally designed to unmap pages within an address
range that could span multiple vmas. While working on [1], it was
discovered that all callers of zap_page_range pass a range entirely within
a single vma. In addition, the mmu notification call within zap_page
range does not correctly handle ranges that span multiple vmas. When
crossing a vma boundary, a new mmu_notifier_range_init/end call pair with
the new vma should be made.
Instead of fixing zap_page_range, do the following:
- Create a new routine zap_vma_pages() that will remove all pages within
the passed vma. Most users of zap_page_range pass the entire vma and
can use this new routine.
- For callers of zap_page_range not passing the entire vma, instead call
zap_page_range_single().
- Remove zap_page_range.

Currently, anonymous PTE-mapped THPs cannot be collapsed in-place:
collapsing (e.g., via MADV_COLLAPSE) implies allocating a fresh THP and
mapping that new THP via a PMD: as it's a fresh anon THP, it will get the
exclusive flag set on the head page and everybody is happy.
However, if the kernel would ever support in-place collapse of anonymous
THPs (replacing a page table mapping each sub-page of a THP via PTEs with
a single PMD mapping the complete THP), exclusivity information stored for
each sub-page would have to be collapsed accordingly:
(1) All PTEs map !exclusive anon sub-pages: the in-place collapsed THP
must not not have the exclusive flag set on the head page mapped by
the PMD. This is the easiest case to handle ("simply don't set any
exclusive flags").
(2) All PTEs map exclusive anon sub-pages: when collapsing, we have to
clear the exclusive flag from all tail pages and only leave the
exclusive flag set for the head page. Otherwise, fork() after
collapse would not clear the exclusive flags from the tail pages
and we'd be in trouble once PTE-mapping the shared THP when writing
to shared tail pages that still have the exclusive flag set. This
would effectively revert what the PTE-mapping code does when
propagating the exclusive flag to all sub-pages.
(3) PTEs map a mixture of exclusive and !exclusive anon sub-pages (can
happen e.g., due to MADV_DONTFORK before fork()). We must not
collapse the THP in-place, otherwise bad things may happen:
the exclusive flags of sub-pages would get ignored and the
exclusive flag of the head page would get used instead.
Now that we have MADV_COLLAPSE in place to trigger collapsing a THP, let's
add some test cases that would bail out early, if we'd
voluntarily/accidantially unlock in-place collapse for anon THPs and
forget about taking proper care of exclusive flags.
Running the test on a kernel with MADV_COLLAPSE support:
# [INFO] Anonymous THP tests
# [RUN] Basic COW after fork() when collapsing before fork()
ok 169 No leak from parent into child
# [RUN] Basic COW after fork() when collapsing after fork() (fully shared)
ok 170 # SKIP MADV_COLLAPSE failed: Invalid argument
# [RUN] Basic COW after fork() when collapsing after fork() (lower shared)
ok 171 No leak from parent into child
# [RUN] Basic COW after fork() when collapsing after fork() (upper shared)
ok 172 No leak from parent into child
For now, MADV_COLLAPSE always seems to fail if all PTEs map shared
sub-pages.

In the kdocs of kmap_local_folio() there is a an ambiguous sentence which
suggests to use this API "only when really necessary".
On the contrary, since kmap() and kmap_atomic() are deprecated, both
kmap_local_folio(), as well as kmap_local_page(), must be preferred to the
previous ones.
Therefore, remove the above-mentioned sentence exactly how it has

Preallocations are common in the VMA code to avoid allocating under
certain locking conditions. The preallocations must also cover the
worst-case scenario. Removing the GFP_ZERO flag from the
kmem_cache_alloc() (and bulk variant) calls will reduce the amount of time
spent zeroing memory that may not be used. Only zero out the necessary
area to keep track of the allocations in the maple state. Zero the entire
node prior to using it in the tree.
This required internal changes to node counting on allocation, so the test
code is also updated.

Refault decisions are made based on the lruvec where the page was evicted,
as that determined its LRU order while it was alive. Stats and workingset
aging must then occur on the lruvec of the new page, as that's the node
and cgroup that experience the refault and that's the lruvec whose
nonresident info ages out by a new resident page. Those lruvecs could be
different when a page is shared between cgroups, or the refaulting page is
allocated on a different node.
There are currently two mix-ups:
1. When swap is available, the resident anon set must be considered
when comparing the refault distance. The comparison is made against
the right anon set, but the check for swap is not. When pages get
evicted from a cgroup with swap, and refault in one without, this
can incorrectly consider a hot refault as cold - and vice
versa. Fix that by using the eviction cgroup for the swap check.
2. The stats and workingset age are updated against the wrong lruvec
altogether: the right cgroup but the wrong NUMA node. When a page
refaults on a different NUMA node, this will have confusing stats
and distort the workingset age on a different lruvec - again
possibly resulting in hot/cold misclassifications down the line.
Fix the swap check and the refault pgdat to address both concerns.
This was found during code review. It hasn't caused notable issues in
production, suggesting that those refault-migrations are relatively rare
in practice.

Before this patch, when there's any pgtable allocation issues happened
during change_protection(), the error will be ignored from the syscall.
For shmem, there will be an error dumped into the host dmesg. Two issues
with that:
(1) Doing a trace dump when allocation fails is not anything close to
grace.
(2) The user should be notified with any kind of such error, so the user
can trap it and decide what to do next, either by retrying, or stop
the process properly, or anything else.
For userfault users, this will change the API of UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT when
pgtable allocation failure happened. It should not normally break anyone,
though. If it breaks, then in good ways.
One man-page update will be on the way to introduce the new -ENOMEM for
UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT. Not marking stable so we keep the old behavior on
the 5.19-till-now kernels.

Switch to use type "long" for page accountings and retval across the whole
procedure of change_protection().
The change should have shrinked the possible maximum page number to be
half comparing to previous (ULONG_MAX / 2), but it shouldn't overflow on
any system either because the maximum possible pages touched by change
protection should be ULONG_MAX / PAGE_SIZE.
Two reasons to switch from "unsigned long" to "long":
1. It suites better on count_vm_numa_events(), whose 2nd parameter takes
a long type.
2. It paves way for returning negative (error) values in the future.
Currently the only caller that consumes this retval is change_prot_numa(),
where the unsigned long was converted to an int. Since at it, touching up
the numa code to also take a long, so it'll avoid any possible overflow
too during the int-size convertion.

filemap_fdatawrite_wbc is a fairly thing wrapper around do_writepages, and
the big difference there is support for cgroup writeback, which is not
supported by ocfs2, and the potential to use ->writepages instead of
->writepage, which ocfs2 does not currently implement but eventually
should.

Kernel build regression with LLVM was reported here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/Y1GCYXGtEVZbcv%2F5@dev-arch.thelio-3990X/ with
commit f35b5d7d67 ("mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP
boundaries"). And the commit f35b5d7d67 was reverted.
It turned out the regression is related with madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)
was used by ld.lld. But with none PMD_SIZE aligned parameter len.
trace-bpfcc captured:
531607 531732 ld.lld do_madvise.part.0 start: 0x7feca9000000, len: 0x7fb000, behavior: 0x4
531607 531793 ld.lld do_madvise.part.0 start: 0x7fec86a00000, len: 0x7fb000, behavior: 0x4
If the underneath physical page is THP, the madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) can
trigger split_queue_lock contention raised significantly. perf showed
following data:
14.85% 0.00% ld.lld [kernel.kallsyms] [k]

unmap_page_range
page_remove_rmap
deferred_split_huge_page
__lock_text_start
native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
If THP can't be removed from rmap as whole THP, partial THP will be
removed from rmap by removing sub-pages from rmap. Even the THP head page
is added to deferred queue already, the split_queue_lock will be acquired
and check whether the THP head page is in the queue already. Thus, the
contention of split_queue_lock is raised.
Before acquire split_queue_lock, check and bail out early if the THP
head page is in the queue already. The checking without holding
split_queue_lock could race with deferred_split_scan, but it doesn't
impact the correctness here.

Page reporting fetches pr_dev_info using rcu_access_pointer(), which is
for safely fetching a pointer that will not be dereferenced but could
concurrently updated. The code indeed does not dereference pr_dev_info
after fetching it using rcu_access_pointer(), but it fetches the pointer
while concurrent updates to the pointer is avoided by holding the update
side lock, page_reporting_mutex.
In the case, rcu_dereference_protected() should be used instead because it
provides better readability and performance on some cases, as
rcu_dereference_protected() avoids use of READ_ONCE(). Replace the
rcu_access_pointer() calls with rcu_dereference_protected().

Being able to provide a custom protection opens the door for
inconsistencies and BUGs: for example, accidentally allowing for more
permissions than desired by other mechanisms (e.g., softdirty tracking).
vma->vm_page_prot should be the single source of truth.
Only PROT_NUMA is special: there is no way we can erroneously allow
for more permissions when removing all permissions. Special-case using
the MM_CP_PROT_NUMA flag.

Patch series "mm: uffd-wp + change_protection() cleanups".
Cleanup page protection handling in uffd-wp when calling
change_protection() and improve unprotecting uffd=wp in private mappings,
trying to set PTEs writable again if possible just like we do during
mprotect() when upgrading write permissions. Make the change_protection()
interface harder to get wrong :)
I consider both pages primarily cleanups, although patch #1 fixes a corner
case with uffd-wp and softdirty tracking for shmem. @Peter, please let me
know if we should flag patch #1 as pure cleanup -- I have no idea how
important softdirty tracking on shmem is.
This patch (of 2):
uffd_wp_range() currently calculates page protection manually using
vm_get_page_prot(). This will ignore any other reason for active
writenotify: one mechanism applicable to shmem is softdirty tracking.
For example, the following sequence
1) Write to mapped shmem page
2) Clear softdirty
3) Register uffd-wp covering the mapped page
4) Unregister uffd-wp covering the mapped page
5) Write to page again
will not set the modified page softdirty, because uffd_wp_range() will
ignore that writenotify is required for softdirty tracking and simply map
the page writable again using change_protection(). Similarly, instead of
unregistering, protecting followed by un-protecting the page using uffd-wp
would result in the same situation.
Now that we enable writenotify whenever enabling uffd-wp on a VMA,
vma->vm_page_prot will already properly reflect our requirements: the
default is to write-protect all PTEs. However, for shared mappings we
would now not remap the PTEs writable if possible when unprotecting, just
like for private mappings (COW). To compensate, set
MM_CP_TRY_CHANGE_WRITABLE just like mprotect() does to try mapping
individual PTEs writable.
For private mappings, this change implies that we will now always try
setting PTEs writable when un-protecting, just like when upgrading write
permissions using mprotect(), which is an improvement.
For shared mappings, we will only set PTEs writable if
can_change_pte_writable()/can_change_pmd_writable() indicates that it's
ok. For ordinary shmem, this will be the case when PTEs are dirty, which
should usually be the case -- otherwise we could special-case shmem in
can_change_pte_writable()/can_change_pmd_writable() easily, because shmem
itself doesn't require writenotify.
Note that hugetlb does not yet implement MM_CP_TRY_CHANGE_WRITABLE, so we
won't try setting PTEs writable when unprotecting or when unregistering
uffd-wp. This can be added later on top by implementing
MM_CP_TRY_CHANGE_WRITABLE.
While commit ffd0579396 ("userfaultfd: wp: support write protection for
userfault vma range") introduced that code, it should only be applicable
to uffd-wp on shared mappings -- shmem (hugetlb does not support softdirty
tracking). I don't think this corner cases justifies to cc stable. Let's
just handle it correctly and prepare for change_protection() cleanups.

Among the flags in scan_control:
1. sc->may_swap, which indicates swap constraint due to memsw.max, is
supported as usual.
2. sc->proactive, which indicates reclaim by memory.reclaim, may not
opportunistically skip the aging path, since it is considered less
latency sensitive.
3. !(sc->gfp_mask & __GFP_IO), which indicates IO constraint, lowers
swappiness to prioritize file LRU, since clean file folios are more
likely to exist.
4. sc->may_writepage and sc->may_unmap, which indicates opportunistic
reclaim, are rejected, since unmapped clean folios are already
prioritized. Scanning for more of them is likely futile and can
cause high reclaim latency when there is a large number of memcgs.
The rest are handled by the existing code.

For each node, memcgs are divided into two generations: the old and
the young. For each generation, memcgs are randomly sharded into
multiple bins to improve scalability. For each bin, an RCU hlist_nulls
is virtually divided into three segments: the head, the tail and the
default.
An onlining memcg is added to the tail of a random bin in the old
generation. The eviction starts at the head of a random bin in the old
generation. The per-node memcg generation counter, whose reminder (mod
2) indexes the old generation, is incremented when all its bins become
empty.
There are four operations:
1. MEMCG_LRU_HEAD, which moves an memcg to the head of a random bin in
its current generation (old or young) and updates its "seg" to
"head";
2. MEMCG_LRU_TAIL, which moves an memcg to the tail of a random bin in
its current generation (old or young) and updates its "seg" to
"tail";
3. MEMCG_LRU_OLD, which moves an memcg to the head of a random bin in
the old generation, updates its "gen" to "old" and resets its "seg"
to "default";
4. MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG, which moves an memcg to the tail of a random bin
in the young generation, updates its "gen" to "young" and resets
its "seg" to "default".
The events that trigger the above operations are:
1. Exceeding the soft limit, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_HEAD;
2. The first attempt to reclaim an memcg below low, which triggers
MEMCG_LRU_TAIL;
3. The first attempt to reclaim an memcg below reclaimable size
threshold, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_TAIL;
4. The second attempt to reclaim an memcg below reclaimable size
threshold, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG;
5. Attempting to reclaim an memcg below min, which triggers
MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG;
6. Finishing the aging on the eviction path, which triggers
MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG;
7. Offlining an memcg, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_OLD.
Note that memcg LRU only applies to global reclaim, and the
round-robin incrementing of their max_seq counters ensures the
eventual fairness to all eligible memcgs. For memcg reclaim, it still
relies on mem_cgroup_iter().

Recall that the aging produces the youngest generation: first it scans
for accessed folios and updates their gen counters; then it increments
lrugen->max_seq.
The current aging fairness safeguard for kswapd uses two passes to
ensure the fairness to multiple eligible memcgs. On the first pass,
which is shared with the eviction, it checks whether all eligible
memcgs are low on cold folios. If so, it requires a second pass, on
which it ages all those memcgs at the same time.
With memcg LRU, the aging, while ensuring eventual fairness, will run
when necessary. Therefore the current aging fairness safeguard for
kswapd will not be needed.
Note that memcg LRU only applies to global reclaim. For memcg reclaim,
the aging can be unfair to different memcgs, i.e., their
lrugen->max_seq can be incremented at different paces.

Recall that the eviction consumes the oldest generation: first it
bucket-sorts folios whose gen counters were updated by the aging and
reclaims the rest; then it increments lrugen->min_seq.
The current eviction fairness safeguard for global reclaim has a
dilemma: when there are multiple eligible memcgs, should it continue
or stop upon meeting the reclaim goal? If it continues, it overshoots
and increases direct reclaim latency; if it stops, it loses fairness
between memcgs it has taken memory away from and those it has yet to.
With memcg LRU, the eviction, while ensuring eventual fairness, will
stop upon meeting its goal. Therefore the current eviction fairness
safeguard for global reclaim will not be needed.
Note that memcg LRU only applies to global reclaim. For memcg reclaim,
the eviction will continue, even if it is overshooting. This becomes
unconditional due to code simplification.

Patch series "mm: multi-gen LRU: memcg LRU", v3.
Overview
========
An memcg LRU is a per-node LRU of memcgs. It is also an LRU of LRUs,
since each node and memcg combination has an LRU of folios (see
mem_cgroup_lruvec()).
Its goal is to improve the scalability of global reclaim, which is
critical to system-wide memory overcommit in data centers. Note that
memcg reclaim is currently out of scope.
Its memory bloat is a pointer to each lruvec and negligible to each
pglist_data. In terms of traversing memcgs during global reclaim, it
improves the best-case complexity from O(n) to O(1) and does not affect
the worst-case complexity O(n). Therefore, on average, it has a sublinear
complexity in contrast to the current linear complexity.
The basic structure of an memcg LRU can be understood by an analogy to
the active/inactive LRU (of folios):
1. It has the young and the old (generations), i.e., the counterparts
to the active and the inactive;
2. The increment of max_seq triggers promotion, i.e., the counterpart
to activation;
3. Other events trigger similar operations, e.g., offlining an memcg
triggers demotion, i.e., the counterpart to deactivation.
In terms of global reclaim, it has two distinct features:
1. Sharding, which allows each thread to start at a random memcg (in
the old generation) and improves parallelism;
2. Eventual fairness, which allows direct reclaim to bail out at will
and reduces latency without affecting fairness over some time.
The commit message in patch 6 details the workflow:

The following is a simple test to quickly verify its effectiveness.
Test design:
1. Create multiple memcgs.
2. Each memcg contains a job (fio).
3. All jobs access the same amount of memory randomly.
4. The system does not experience global memory pressure.
5. Periodically write to the root memory.reclaim.
Desired outcome:
1. All memcgs have similar pgsteal counts, i.e., stddev(pgsteal)
over mean(pgsteal) is close to 0%.
2. The total pgsteal is close to the total requested through
memory.reclaim, i.e., sum(pgsteal) over sum(requested) is close
to 100%.
Actual outcome [1]:
MGLRU off MGLRU on
stddev(pgsteal) / mean(pgsteal) 75% 20%
sum(pgsteal) / sum(requested) 425% 95%

This patch (of 8):
The new name lru_gen_folio will be more distinct from the coming
lru_gen_memcg.
