thp, mm: split_huge_page(): caller need to lock page
We're going to use migration entries instead of compound_lock() to
stabilize page refcounts. Setup and remove migration entries require
page to be locked.
Some of split_huge_page() callers already have the page locked. Let's
require everybody to lock the page before calling split_huge_page().

thp: add option to setup migration entries during PMD split
We are going to use migration PTE entries to stabilize page counts.
If the page is mapped with PMDs we need to split the PMD and setup
migration entries. It's reasonable to combine these operations to avoid
double-scanning over the page table.

Original split_huge_page() combined two operations: splitting PMDs into
tables of PTEs and splitting underlying compound page. This patch
implements split_huge_pmd() which split given PMD without splitting
other PMDs this page mapped with or underlying compound page.
Without tail page refcounting, implementation of split_huge_pmd() is
pretty straight-forward.

mm: rework mapcount accounting to enable 4k mapping of THPs
We're going to allow mapping of individual 4k pages of THP compound.
It means we need to track mapcount on per small page basis.
Straight-forward approach is to use ->_mapcount in all subpages to track
how many time this subpage is mapped with PMDs or PTEs combined. But
this is rather expensive: mapping or unmapping of a THP page with PMD
would require HPAGE_PMD_NR atomic operations instead of single we have
now.
The idea is to store separately how many times the page was mapped as
whole -- compound_mapcount. This frees up ->_mapcount in subpages to
track PTE mapcount.
We use the same approach as with compound page destructor and compound
order to store compound_mapcount: use space in first tail page,
->mapping this time.
Any time we map/unmap whole compound page (THP or hugetlb) -- we
increment/decrement compound_mapcount. When we map part of compound page
with PTE we operate on ->_mapcount of the subpage.
page_mapcount() counts both: PTE and PMD mappings of the page.
Basically, we have mapcount for a subpage spread over two counters.
It makes tricky to detect when last mapcount for a page goes away.
We introduced PageDoubleMap() for this. When we split THP PMD for the
first time and there's other PMD mapping left we offset up ->_mapcount
in all subpages by one and set PG_double_map on the compound page.
These additional references go away with last compound_mapcount.
This approach provides a way to detect when last mapcount goes away on
per small page basis without introducing new overhead for most common
cases.

Tail page refcounting is utterly complicated and painful to support.
It uses ->_mapcount on tail pages to store how many times this page is
pinned. get_page() bumps ->_mapcount on tail page in addition to
->_count on head. This information is required by split_huge_page() to
be able to distribute pins from head of compound page to tails during
the split.
We will need ->_mapcount to account PTE mappings of subpages of the
compound page. We eliminate need in current meaning of ->_mapcount in
tail pages by forbidding split entirely if the page is pinned.
The only user of tail page refcounting is THP which is marked BROKEN for
now.
Let's drop all this mess. It makes get_page() and put_page() much
simpler.

are going to change how core of THP refcounting work.
It would be beneficial to split the change into several patches and make
it more reviewable. Unfortunately, I don't see how we can achieve that
while keeping THP working.
Let's hide THP under CONFIG_BROKEN for now and bring it back when new

thp, mlock: do not allow huge pages in mlocked area
With new refcounting THP can belong to several VMAs. This makes tricky to
track THP pages, when they partially mlocked. It can lead to leaking
mlocked pages to non-VM_LOCKED vmas and other problems.
With this patch we will split all pages on mlock and avoid
fault-in/collapse new THP in VM_LOCKED vmas.
I've tried alternative approach: do not mark THP pages mlocked and keep
them on normal LRUs. This way vmscan could try to split huge pages on
memory pressure and free up subpages which doesn't belong to VM_LOCKED
vmas. But this is user-visible change: we screw up Mlocked accouting
reported in meminfo, so I had to leave this approach aside.
We can bring something better later, but this should be good enough for
now.

Let's handle tail pages in gup_pte_range().

mm, thp: adjust conditions when we can reuse the page on WP fault
With new refcounting we will be able map the same compound page with PTEs
and PMDs. It requires adjustment to conditions when we can reuse the page
on write-protection fault.
For PTE fault we can't reuse the page if it's part of huge page.
For PMD we can only reuse the page if nobody else maps the huge page or
it's part. We can do it by checking page_mapcount() on each sub-page, but
it's expensive.
The cheaper way is to check page_count() to be equal 1: every mapcount
takes page reference, so this way we can guarantee, that the PMD is the
only mapping.
This approach can give false negative if somebody pinned the page, but
that doesn't affect correctness.

As with rmap, with new refcounting we cannot rely on PageTransHuge() to
check if we need to charge size of huge page form the cgroup. We need to
get information from caller to know whether it was mapped with PMD or PTE.
We do uncharge when last reference on the page gone. At that point if we
see PageTransHuge() it means we need to unchange whole huge page.
The tricky part is partial unmap -- when we try to unmap part of huge
page. We don't do a special handing of this situation, meaning we don't
uncharge the part of huge page unless last user is gone or
split_huge_page() is triggered. In case of cgroup memory pressure happens
the partial unmapped page will be split through shrinker. This should be
good enough.

The goal of this patchset is to make refcounting on THP pages cheaper with
simpler semantics and allow the same THP compound page to be mapped with
PMD and PTEs. This is required to get reasonable THP-pagecache
implementation.
With the new refcounting design it's much easier to protect against
split_huge_page(): simple reference on a page will make you the deal. It
makes gup_fast() implementation simpler and doesn't require special-case
in futex code to handle tail THP pages.
It should improve THP utilization over the system since splitting THP in
one process doesn't necessary lead to splitting the page in all other
processes have the page mapped.
The patchset drastically lower complexity of get_page()/put_page()
codepaths. I encourage people look on this code before-and-after to
justify time budget on reviewing this patchset.
This patch (of 37):
With new refcounting all subpages of the compound page are not necessary
have the same mapcount. We need to take into account mapcount of every

We don't define meaning of page->mapping for tail pages. Currently it's
always NULL, which can be inconsistent with head page and potentially lead
to problems.
Let's poison the pointer to catch all illigal uses.
page_rmapping(), page_mapping() and page_anon_vma() are changed to look on
head page.
The only illegal use I've caught so far is __GPF_COMP pages from sound
subsystem, mapped with PTEs. do_shared_fault() is changed to use
page_rmapping() instead of direct access to fault_page->mapping.
hugetlb: clear PG_reserved before setting PG_head on gigantic pages
PF_NO_COMPOUND for PG_reserved assumes we don't use PG_reserved for
compound pages. And we generally don't. But during allocation of
gigantic pages we set PG_head before clearing PG_reserved and
__ClearPageReserved() steps on the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE().
The fix is trivial: set PG_head after PG_reserved.

page-flags: define behavior of FS/IO-related flags on compound pages
It seems we don't have compound page on FS/IO path currently.
Use PF_NO_COMPOUND to catch if we have.
The odd exception is PG_dirty: sound uses compound pages and maps them
with PTEs. PF_NO_COMPOUND triggers VM_BUG_ON() in set_page_dirty() on
handling shared fault. Let's use PF_HEAD for PG_dirty.
page-flags: define PG_locked behavior on compound pages
lock_page() must operate on the whole compound page. It doesn't make much
sense to lock part of compound page. Change code to use head page's
PG_locked, if tail page is passed.
This patch also gets rid of custom helper functions -- __set_page_locked()
and __clear_page_locked(). They are replaced with helpers generated by
__SETPAGEFLAG/__CLEARPAGEFLAG. Tail pages to these helper would trigger
VM_BUG_ON().
SLUB uses PG_locked as a bit spin locked. IIUC, tail pages should never
appear there. VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure that this assumption is
correct.
page-flags: do not corrupt caller 'page' in PF_NO_TAIL
Andrew noticed that PF_NO_TAIL() modifies caller's 'page'. This doesn't
trigger any bad results, because all users are inline functions which
doesn't use the variable beyond the point. But still not good.
The patch changes PF_NO_TAIL() to always return head page, regardless
'enforce'. This makes operations of page flags with PF_NO_TAIL more
symmetrical: modifications and checks goes to head page. It gives better
chance to recover in case of bug for non-DEBUG_VM kernel.
DEBUG_VM kernel will still trigger VM_BUG_ON() on modifications to tail
pages.

This patch adds a third argument to macros which create function
definitions for page flags. This argument defines how page-flags helpers
behave on compound functions.
For now we define four policies:
- PF_ANY: the helper function operates on the page it gets, regardless
if it's non-compound, head or tail.
- PF_HEAD: the helper function operates on the head page of the compound
page if it gets tail page.
- PF_NO_TAIL: only head and non-compond pages are acceptable for this
helper function.
- PF_NO_COMPOUND: only non-compound pages are acceptable for this helper
function.
For now we use policy PF_ANY for all helpers, which matches current
behaviour.
We do not enforce the policy for TESTPAGEFLAG, because we have flags
checked for random pages all over the kernel. Noticeable exception to
this is PageTransHuge() which triggers VM_BUG_ON() for tail page.

mm: avoid false-positive PageTail() during meminit
Since compound_head() rework we encode PageTail() into bit 0 of
page->lru.next (aka page->compound_head). We need to make sure that
page->lru is initialized before first use of compound_head() or
PageTail().
My page-flags patchset makes sure that we don't use PG_reserved on
compound pages. That means we have PageTail() check as eary as in
SetPageReserved() in reserve_bootmem_region()
Let's initialize page->lru before that to avoid false positive from

The race is pure theoretical. I don't it's possible to trigger it in
practice. But who knows.
We can fix the race by changing how encode PageTail() and compound_head()
within struct page to be able to update them in one shot.
The patch introduces page->compound_head into third double word block in
front of compound_dtor and compound_order. Bit 0 encodes PageTail() and
the rest bits are pointer to head page if bit zero is set.
The patch moves page->pmd_huge_pte out of word, just in case if an
architecture defines pgtable_t into something what can have the bit 0
set.
hugetlb_cgroup uses page->lru.next in the second tail page to store
pointer struct hugetlb_cgroup. The patch switch it to use page->private
in the second tail page instead. The space is free since ->first_page is
removed from the union.
The patch also opens possibility to remove HUGETLB_CGROUP_MIN_ORDER
limitation, since there's now space in first tail page to store struct
hugetlb_cgroup pointer. But that's out of scope of the patch.
That means page->compound_head shares storage space with:
That's too long list to be absolutely sure, but looks like nobody uses
bit 0 of the word.
page->rcu_head.next guaranteed[1] to have bit 0 clean as long as we use
call_rcu(), call_rcu_bh(), call_rcu_sched(), or call_srcu(). But future
call_rcu_lazy() is not allowed as it makes use of the bit and we can
get false positive PageTail().
mm: pack compound_dtor and compound_order into one word in struct page
The patch halves space occupied by compound_dtor and compound_order in
struct page.
For compound_order, it's trivial long -> short conversion.
For get_compound_page_dtor(), we now use hardcoded table for destructor
lookup and store its index in the struct page instead of direct pointer
to destructor. It shouldn't be a big trouble to maintain the table: we
have only two destructor and NULL currently.
This patch free up one word in tail pages for reuse. This is preparation
for the next patch.

The patch removes unneeded `struct zs_size_stat' members by redefining
NR_ZS_STAT_TYPE (max stat idx in array).
Since both NR_ZS_STAT_TYPE and zs_stat_type are compile time constants,
GCC can eliminate zs_stat_inc()/zs_stat_dec() calls that use zs_stat_type

a) each class now uses less memory

The gain will increase once we introduce additional stats.

zram: keep the exact overcommited value in mem_used_max
`mem_used_max' is designed to store the max amount of memory zram consumed

overcommited case before it updates `->stats.max_used_pages', which hides
the reason we went to -ENOMEM in the first place -- we actually used more

alloced_pages = zs_get_total_pages(meta->mem_pool);

zs_free(meta->mem_pool, handle);
ret = -ENOMEM;
goto out;
}
update_used_max(zram, alloced_pages);
Which is misleading. User will see -ENOMEM, check `->limit_pages', check
`->stats.max_used_pages', which will keep the value BEFORE zram passed
`->limit_pages', and see:
`->stats.max_used_pages' < `->limit_pages'
Move update_used_max() before we do `->limit_pages' check, so that
user will see:
`->stats.max_used_pages' > `->limit_pages'
should the overcommit and -ENOMEM happen.

When the user supplies an unsupported compression algorithm, keep the
previously selected one (knowingly supported) or the default one (if the
compression algorithm hasn't been changed yet).
Note that previously this operation (i.e. setting an invalid algorithm)
would result in no algorithm being selected, which means that this
represents a small change in the default behaviour.
Minchan said:
For initializing zram, we need to set up 3 optional parameters in advance.
1. the number of compression streams
2. memory limitation
3. compression algorithm
Although user pass completely wrong value to set up for 1 and 2
parameters, it's okay because they have default value so zram will be
initialized with the default value (of course, when user passes a wrong
value via *echo*, sysfs returns -EINVAL so the user can notice it).
But 3 is not consistent with other optional parameters. IOW, if the
user passes a wrong value to set up 3 parameter, zram's initialization
would fail unlike other optional parameters.
So this patch makes them consistent.

The previous patch introduced a flag that specified pages in a VMA should

We add MLOCK_ONFAULT for mlock2 and MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall.
MLOCK_ONFAULT will set the VM_LOCKONFAULT modifier for VM_LOCKED.
MCL_ONFAULT should be used as a modifier to the two other mlockall flags.
When used with MCL_CURRENT, all current mappings will be marked with
VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. When used with MCL_FUTURE, the mm->def_flags

MCL_CURRENT and MCL_FUTURE, all current mappings and mm->def_flags will be
marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT.
Prior to this patch, mlockall() will unconditionally clear the
mm->def_flags any time it is called without MCL_FUTURE. This behavior is
maintained after adding MCL_ONFAULT. If a call to mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) is
followed by mlockall(MCL_CURRENT), the mm->def_flags will be cleared and
new VMAs will be unlocked. This remains true with or without MCL_ONFAULT

mm: introduce VM_LOCKONFAULT
The cost of faulting in all memory to be locked can be very high when
working with large mappings. If only portions of the mapping will be used
this can incur a high penalty for locking.
For the example of a large file, this is the usage pattern for a large
statical language model (probably applies to other statical or graphical
models as well). For the security example, any application transacting in
data that cannot be swapped out (credit card data, medical records, etc).
This patch introduces the ability to request that pages are not
pre-faulted, but are placed on the unevictable LRU when they are finally
faulted in. The VM_LOCKONFAULT flag will be used together with VM_LOCKED
and has no effect when set without VM_LOCKED. Setting the VM_LOCKONFAULT
flag for a VMA will cause pages faulted into that VMA to be added to the
unevictable LRU when they are faulted or if they are already present, but
will not cause any missing pages to be faulted in.
Exposing this new lock state means that we cannot overload the meaning of
the FOLL_POPULATE flag any longer. Prior to this patch it was used to
mean that the VMA for a fault was locked. This means we need the new
FOLL_MLOCK flag to communicate the locked state of a VMA. FOLL_POPULATE
will now only control if the VMA should be populated and in the case of
VM_LOCKONFAULT, it will not be set.

mm: mlock: refactor mlock, munlock, and munlockall code
mlock() allows a user to control page out of program memory, but this
comes at the cost of faulting in the entire mapping when it is allocated.
For large mappings where the entire area is not necessary this is not
ideal. Instead of forcing all locked pages to be present when they are
allocated, this set creates a middle ground. Pages are marked to be
placed on the unevictable LRU (locked) when they are first used, but they
are not faulted in by the mlock call.
This series introduces a new mlock() system call that takes a flags
argument along with the start address and size. This flags argument gives
the caller the ability to request memory be locked in the traditional way,
or to be locked after the page is faulted in. A new MCL flag is added to
mirror the lock on fault behavior from mlock() in mlockall().
There are two main use cases that this set covers. The first is the
security focussed mlock case. A buffer is needed that cannot be written
to swap. The maximum size is known, but on average the memory used is
significantly less than this maximum. With lock on fault, the buffer is
guaranteed to never be paged out without consuming the maximum size every
time such a buffer is created.
The second use case is focussed on performance. Portions of a large file
are needed and we want to keep the used portions in memory once accessed.
This is the case for large graphical models where the path through the
graph is not known until run time. The entire graph is unlikely to be
used in a given invocation, but once a node has been used it needs to stay
resident for further processing. Given these constraints we have a number
of options. We can potentially waste a large amount of memory by mlocking
the entire region (this can also cause a significant stall at startup as
the entire file is read in). We can mlock every page as we access them
without tracking if the page is already resident but this introduces large
overhead for each access. The third option is mapping the entire region
with PROT_NONE and using a signal handler for SIGSEGV to
mprotect(PROT_READ) and mlock() the needed page. Doing this page at a
time adds a significant performance penalty. Batching can be used to
mitigate this overhead, but in order to safely avoid trying to mprotect
pages outside of the mapping, the boundaries of each mapping to be used in
this way must be tracked and available to the signal handler. This is
precisely what the mm system in the kernel should already be doing.
For mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) the user is charged against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK as if
mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) or mmap(MAP_LOCKED) was used, so when the VMA is
created not when the pages are faulted in. For mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) the
user is charged as if MCL_FUTURE was used. This decision was made to keep
the accounting checks out of the page fault path.
To illustrate the benefit of this set I wrote a test program that mmaps a
5 GB file filled with random data and then makes 15,000,000 accesses to
random addresses in that mapping. The test program was run 20 times for
each setup. Results are reported for two program portions, setup and
execution. The setup phase is calling mmap and optionally mlock on the
entire region. For most experiments this is trivial, but it highlights
the cost of faulting in the entire region. Results are averages across
the 20 runs in milliseconds.
mmap with mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) on entire range:
Setup avg: 8228.666
Processing avg: 8274.257
mmap with mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) before each access:
Setup avg: 0.113
Processing avg: 90993.552
mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 1 page:
With the default value in max_map_count, this gets ENOMEM as I attempt
to change the permissions, after upping the sysctl significantly I get:
Setup avg: 0.058
Processing avg: 69488.073
mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 8 pages:
Setup avg: 0.068
Processing avg: 38204.116
mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 16 pages:
Setup avg: 0.044
Processing avg: 29671.180
mmap with mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) on entire range:
Setup avg: 0.189
Processing avg: 17904.899
The signal handler in the batch cases faulted in memory in two steps to
avoid having to know the start and end of the faulting mapping. The first
step covers the page that caused the fault as we know that it will be
possible to lock. The second step speculatively tries to mlock and
mprotect the batch size - 1 pages that follow. There may be a clever way
to avoid this without having the program track each mapping to be covered
by this handeler in a globally accessible structure, but I could not find
it. It should be noted that with a large enough batch size this two step
fault handler can still cause the program to crash if it reaches far
beyond the end of the mapping.
These results show that if the developer knows that a majority of the
mapping will be used, it is better to try and fault it in at once,
otherwise mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) is significantly faster.
The performance cost of these patches are minimal on the two benchmarks I
have tested (stream and kernbench). The following are the average values
across 20 runs of stream and 10 runs of kernbench after a warmup run whose
results were discarded.

This patch (of 6):
Extending the mlock system call is very difficult because it currently
does not take a flags argument. A later patch in this set will extend
mlock to support a middle ground between pages that are locked and faulted
in immediately and unlocked pages. To pave the way for the new system
call, the code needs some reorganization so that all the actual entry
point handles is checking input and translating to VMA flags.

kasan: always taint kernel on report
Currently we already taint the kernel in some cases. E.g. if we hit some
bug in slub memory we call object_err() which will taint the kernel with
TAINT_BAD_PAGE flag. But for other kind of bugs kernel left untainted.
Always taint with TAINT_BAD_PAGE if kasan found some bug. This is useful
for automated testing.

mm, slub, kasan: enable user tracking by default with KASAN=y
It's recommended to have slub's user tracking enabled with CONFIG_KASAN,
because:
a) User tracking disables slab merging which improves
detecting out-of-bounds accesses.
b) User tracking metadata acts as redzone which also improves
detecting out-of-bounds accesses.
c) User tracking provides additional information about object.
This information helps to understand bugs.
Currently it is not enabled by default. Besides recompiling the kernel
with KASAN and reinstalling it, user also have to change the boot cmdline,
which is not very handy.
Enable slub user tracking by default with KASAN=y, since there is no good
reason to not do this.

kasan: use IS_ALIGNED in memory_is_poisoned_8()
Use IS_ALIGNED() to determine whether the shadow span two bytes. It
generates less code and more readable. Also add some comments in shadow
check functions.
the cause of the problem is the type conversion error in
*memory_is_poisoned_n* function. So this patch fix that.

kasan: accurately determine the type of the bad access
Makes KASAN accurately determine the type of the bad access. If the shadow
byte value is in the [0, KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE) range we can look at
the next shadow byte to determine the type of the access.
