percpu_ida() decouples disabling interrupts from the locking operations.
This breaks some assumptions if the locking operations are replaced like
they are under -RT.
The same locking can be achieved by avoiding local_irq_save() and using
spin_lock_irqsave() instead. percpu_ida_alloc() gains one more preemption
point because after unlocking the fastpath and before the pool lock is
acquired, the interrupts are briefly enabled.

Improve the scalability of the IDA by using the per-IDA xa_lock rather
than the global simple_ida_lock. IDAs are not typically used in
performance-sensitive locations, but since we have this lock anyway, we
can use it. It is also a step towards converting the IDA from the radix
tree to the XArray.

* Test lookup in /proc/self/fd.
"map_files" lookup story showed that lookup is not that simple.
* Test that all those symlinks open the same file.
Check with (st_dev, st_info).
* Test that kernel threads do not have anything in their /proc/*/fd/
directory.
Now this is where things get interesting.
First, kernel threads aren't pinned by /proc/self or equivalent,
thus some "atomicity" is required.
Second, ->comm can contain whitespace and ')'.
No, they are not escaped.
Third, the only reliable way to check if process is kernel thread
appears to be field #9 in /proc/*/stat.
This field is struct task_struct::flags in decimal!
Check is done by testing PF_KTHREAD flags like we do in kernel.
PF_KTREAD value is a part of userspace ABI !!!
Other methods for determining kernel threadness are not reliable:
* RSS can be 0 if everything is swapped, even while reading
from /proc/self.
* ->total_vm CAN BE ZERO if process is finishing
munmap(NULL, whole address space);
* /proc/*/maps and similar files can be empty because unmapping
everything works. Read returning 0 can't distinguish between
kernel thread and such suicide process.

The LKP robot found a 27% will-it-scale/page_fault3 performance
regression regarding commit e27be240df53("mm: memcg: make sure
memory.events is uptodate when waking pollers").
What the test does is:
1 mkstemp() a 128M file on a tmpfs;
2 start $nr_cpu processes, each to loop the following:
2.1 mmap() this file in shared write mode;
2.2 write 0 to this file in a PAGE_SIZE step till the end of the file;
2.3 unmap() this file and repeat this process.
3 After 5 minutes, check how many loops they managed to complete, the
higher the better.
The commit itself looks innocent enough as it merely changed some event
counting mechanism and this test didn't trigger those events at all.
Perf shows increased cycles spent on accessing root_mem_cgroup->stat_cpu
in count_memcg_event_mm()(called by handle_mm_fault()) and in
__mod_memcg_state() called by page_add_file_rmap(). So it's likely due
to the changed layout of 'struct mem_cgroup' that either make stat_cpu
falling into a constantly modifying cacheline or some hot fields stop
being in the same cacheline.
I verified this by moving memory_events[] back to where it was:
: --- a/include/linux/memcontrol.h
: +++ b/include/linux/memcontrol.h
: @@ -205,7 +205,6 @@ struct mem_cgroup {
: int oom_kill_disable;
:

: unsigned long socket_pressure;
And performance restored.
Later investigation found that as long as the following 3 fields
moving_account, move_lock_task and stat_cpu are in the same cacheline,
performance will be good. To avoid future performance surprise by other
commits changing the layout of 'struct mem_cgroup', this patch makes
sure the 3 fields stay in the same cacheline.
One concern of this approach is, moving_account and move_lock_task could
be modified when a process changes memory cgroup while stat_cpu is a
always read field, it might hurt to place them in the same cacheline. I
assume it is rare for a process to change memory cgroup so this should
be OK.

kvmalloc warned about incompatible gfp_mask to catch abusers (mostly
GFP_NOFS) with an intention that this will motivate authors of the code
to fix those. Linus argues that this just motivates people to do even
more hacks like
if (gfp == GFP_KERNEL)
kvmalloc
else
kmalloc
I haven't seen this happening much (Linus pointed to bucket_lock special
cases an atomic allocation but my git foo hasn't found much more) but it
is true that we can grow those in future. Therefore Linus suggested to
simply not fallback to vmalloc for incompatible gfp flags and rather
stick with the kmalloc path.

In __alloc_pages_slowpath() we reset zonelist and preferred_zoneref for
allocations that can ignore memory policies. The zonelist is obtained
from current CPU's node. This is a problem for __GFP_THISNODE
allocations that want to allocate on a different node, e.g. because the
allocating thread has been migrated to a different CPU.
This has been observed to break SLAB in our 4.4-based kernel, because
there it relies on __GFP_THISNODE working as intended. If a slab page
is put on wrong node's list, then further list manipulations may corrupt
the list because page_to_nid() is used to determine which node's
list_lock should be locked and thus we may take a wrong lock and race.
Current SLAB implementation seems to be immune by luck thanks to commit
511e3a0588 ("mm/slab: make cache_grow() handle the page allocated on
arbitrary node") but there may be others assuming that __GFP_THISNODE
works as promised.
We can fix it by simply removing the zonelist reset completely. There
is actually no reason to reset it, because memory policies and cpusets
don't affect the zonelist choice in the first place. This was different
when commit 183f6371aa ("mm: ignore mempolicies when using
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK") introduced the code, as mempolicies provided their
own restricted zonelists.
We might consider this for 4.17 although I don't know if there's
anything currently broken.
SLAB is currently not affected, but in kernels older than 4.7 that don't
yet have 511e3a0588 ("mm/slab: make cache_grow() handle the page
allocated on arbitrary node") it is. That's at least 4.4 LTS. Older
ones I'll have to check.
So stable backports should be more important, but will have to be
reviewed carefully, as the code went through many changes. BTW I think
that also the ac->preferred_zoneref reset is currently useless if we
don't also reset ac->nodemask from a mempolicy to NULL first (which we
probably should for the OOM victims etc?), but I would leave that for a
separate patch.

If a process monitored with userfaultfd changes it's memory mappings or
forks() at the same time as uffd monitor fills the process memory with
UFFDIO_COPY, the actual creation of page table entries and copying of
the data in mcopy_atomic may happen either before of after the memory
mapping modifications and there is no way for the uffd monitor to
maintain consistent view of the process memory layout.
For instance, let's consider fork() running in parallel with
userfaultfd_copy():
process | uffd monitor
---------------------------------+------------------------------
fork() | userfaultfd_copy()
... | ...
dup_mmap() | down_read(mmap_sem)
down_write(mmap_sem) | /* create PTEs, copy data */
dup_uffd() | up_read(mmap_sem)
copy_page_range() |
up_write(mmap_sem) |
dup_uffd_complete() |
/* notify monitor */ |
If the userfaultfd_copy() takes the mmap_sem first, the new page(s) will
be present by the time copy_page_range() is called and they will appear
in the child's memory mappings. However, if the fork() is the first to
take the mmap_sem, the new pages won't be mapped in the child's address
space.
If the pages are not present and child tries to access them, the monitor
will get page fault notification and everything is fine. However, if
the pages *are present*, the child can access them without uffd
noticing. And if we copy them into child it'll see the wrong data.
Since we are talking about background copy, we'd need to decide whether
the pages should be copied or not regardless #PF notifications.
Since userfaultfd monitor has no way to determine what was the order,
let's disallow userfaultfd_copy in parallel with the non-cooperative
events. In such case we return -EAGAIN and the uffd monitor can
understand that userfaultfd_copy() clashed with a non-cooperative event
and take an appropriate action.

Currently an attempt to set swap.max into a value lower than the actual
swap usage fails, which causes configuration problems as there's no way
of lowering the configuration below the current usage short of turning
off swap entirely. This makes swap.max difficult to use and allows
delegatees to lock the delegator out of reducing swap allocation.
This patch updates swap_max_write() so that the limit can be lowered
below the current usage. It doesn't implement active reclaiming of swap
entries for the following reasons.
* mem_cgroup_swap_full() already tells the swap machinary to
aggressively reclaim swap entries if the usage is above 50% of
limit, so simply lowering the limit automatically triggers gradual
reclaim.
* Forcing back swapped out pages is likely to heavily impact the
workload and mess up the working set. Given that swap usually is a
lot less valuable and less scarce, letting the existing usage
dissipate over time through the above gradual reclaim and as they're
falted back in is likely the better behavior.

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler. For now, this is just
documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an
errno. Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a
distinct type.
See commit 1c8f422059 ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t")
vmf_error() is the newly introduce inline function in 4.17-rc6.

We're already using a union of many fields here, so stop abusing the
_mapcount and make page_type its own field. That implies renaming some of
the machinery that creates PageBuddy, PageBalloon and PageKmemcg; bring
back the PG_buddy, PG_balloon and PG_kmemcg names.
As suggested by Kirill, make page_type a bitmask. Because it starts out
life as -1 (thanks to sharing the storage with _mapcount), setting a page
flag means clearing the appropriate bit. This gives us space for probably
twenty or so extra bits (depending how paranoid we want to be about
_mapcount underflow).

Patch series "Rearrange struct page", v6.
As presented at LSFMM, this patch-set rearranges struct page to give
more contiguous usable space to users who have allocated a struct page
for their own purposes. For a graphical view of before-and-after, see
the first two tabs of
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tvCszs_7FXrjei9_mtFiKV6nW1FLnYyvPvW-qNZhdog/edit?usp=sharing
Highlights:
- deferred_list now really exists in struct page instead of just a comment.
- hmm_data also exists in struct page instead of being a nasty hack.
- x86's PGD pages have a real pointer to the mm_struct.
- VMalloc pages now have all sorts of extra information stored in them
to help with debugging and tuning.
- rcu_head is no longer tied to slab in case anyone else wants to
free pages by RCU.
- slub's counters no longer share space with _refcount.
- slub's freelist+counters are now naturally dword aligned.
- slub loses a parameter to a lot of functions and a sysfs file.
This patch (of 17):
s390 borrows the storage used for _mapcount in struct page in order to
account whether the bottom or top half is being used for 2kB page tables.
I want to use that for something else, so use the top byte of _refcount
instead of the bottom byte of _mapcount. _refcount may temporarily be
incremented by other CPUs that see a stale pointer to this page in the
page cache, but each CPU can only increment it by one, and there are no
systems with 2^24 CPUs today, so they will not change the upper byte of
_refcount. We do have to be a little careful not to lose any of their
writes (as they will subsequently decrement the counter).

This is to take better advantage of general huge page clearing
optimization (commit c79b57e462b5: "mm: hugetlb: clear target sub-page
last when clearing huge page") for hugetlbfs.
In the general optimization patch, the sub-page to access will be
cleared last to avoid the cache lines of to access sub-page to be
evicted when clearing other sub-pages. This works better if we have the
address of the sub-page to access, that is, the fault address inside the
huge page. So the hugetlbfs no page fault handler is changed to pass
that information. This will benefit workloads which don't access the
begin of the hugetlbfs huge page after the page fault under heavy cache
contention for shared last level cache.
The patch is a generic optimization which should benefit quite some
workloads, not for a specific use case. To demonstrate the performance
benefit of the patch, we tested it with vm-scalability run on hugetlbfs.
With this patch, the throughput increases ~28.1% in vm-scalability
anon-w-seq test case with 88 processes on a 2 socket Xeon E5 2699 v4
system (44 cores, 88 threads). The test case creates 88 processes, each
process mmaps a big anonymous memory area with MAP_HUGETLB and writes to
it from the end to the begin. For each process, other processes could
be seen as other workload which generates heavy cache pressure. At the
same time, the cache miss rate reduced from ~36.3% to ~25.6%, the IPC
(instruction per cycle) increased from 0.3 to 0.37, and the time spent
in user space is reduced ~19.3%.

vm_operations_struct. For now, this is just documenting that the
function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an errno. Once all
instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a distinct type.
See commit 1c8f422059 ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t")

Memory controller implements the memory.low best-effort memory
protection mechanism, which works perfectly in many cases and allows
protecting working sets of important workloads from sudden reclaim.
But its semantics has a significant limitation: it works only as long as
there is a supply of reclaimable memory. This makes it pretty useless
against any sort of slow memory leaks or memory usage increases. This
is especially true for swapless systems. If swap is enabled, memory
soft protection effectively postpones problems, allowing a leaking
application to fill all swap area, which makes no sense. The only
effective way to guarantee the memory protection in this case is to
invoke the OOM killer.
It's possible to handle this case in userspace by reacting on MEMCG_LOW
events; but there is still a place for a fail-safe in-kernel mechanism
to provide stronger guarantees.
This patch introduces the memory.min interface for cgroup v2 memory
controller. It works very similarly to memory.low (sharing the same
hierarchical behavior), except that it's not disabled if there is no
more reclaimable memory in the system.
If cgroup is not populated, its memory.min is ignored, because otherwise
even the OOM killer wouldn't be able to reclaim the protected memory,
and the system can stall.
