Make memblock_is_map/region_memory return bool due to these two functions
only using either true or false as its return value.
No functional change.

The file was converted from print_symbol() to %pSR a while ago in
071361d3473ebb814 ("mm: Convert print_symbol to %pSR"). kallsyms does not
seem to be needed anymore.

There are several functions that do find_task_by_vpid() followed by
get_task_struct(). We can use a helper function instead.

When pfn_valid(pfn) returns false, pfn should be aligned with
pageblock_nr_pages other than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES in init_pages_in_zone,
because the skipped 2M may be valid pfn, as a result, early allocated
count will not be accurate.

During the reclaiming slab of a memcg, shrink_slab iterates over all
registered shrinkers in the system, and tries to count and consume objects
related to the cgroup. In case of memory pressure, this behaves bad: I
observe high system time and time spent in list_lru_count_one() for many
processes on RHEL7 kernel.
This patch makes list_lru_node::memcg_lrus rcu protected, that allows to
skip taking spinlock in list_lru_count_one().
Shakeel Butt with the patch observes significant perf graph change. He says:

Currently, init_pages_in_zone() walks the zone in pageblock_nr_pages
steps. MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES is possible to have holes when
CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is set. it is likely to be different between
MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES and pageblock_nr_pages. if we skip the size of
MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES, it will result in the second 2M memroy leak.
Meanwhile, the change will make the code consistent. because the entire
function is based on the pageblock_nr_pages steps.

In the current design, khugepaged needs to acquire mmap_sem before
scanning an mm. But in some corner cases, khugepaged may scan a process
which is modifying its memory mapping, so khugepaged blocks in
uninterruptible state. But the process might hold the mmap_sem for a long
time when modifying a huge memory space and it may trigger the below
khugepaged hung issue:
INFO: task khugepaged:270 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
Tainted: G E 4.9.65-006.ali3000.alios7.x86_64 #1

So it sounds pointless to just block khugepaged waiting for the semaphore
so replace down_read() with down_read_trylock() to move to scan the next
mm quickly instead of just blocking on the semaphore so that other
processes can get more chances to install THP. Then khugepaged can come
back to scan the skipped mm when it has finished the current round
full_scan.
And it appears that the change can improve khugepaged efficiency a little
bit.

Syzbot caught an oops at unregister_shrinker() because combination of
commit 1d3d4437eae1bb29 ("vmscan: per-node deferred work") and fault
injection made register_shrinker() fail and the caller of
register_shrinker() did not check for failure.

Since allowing register_shrinker() callers to call unregister_shrinker()
when register_shrinker() failed can simplify error recovery path, this
patch makes unregister_shrinker() no-op when register_shrinker() failed.
Also, reset shrinker->nr_deferred in case unregister_shrinker() was
by error called twice.

This reverts commits 5c9d2d5c269c, c7da82b894e9, and e7fe7b5cae90.
We'll probably need to revisit this, but basically we should not
complicate the get_user_pages_fast() case, and checking the actual page
table protection key bits will require more care anyway, since the
protection keys depend on the exact state of the VM in question.
Particularly when doing a "remote" page lookup (ie in somebody elses VM,
not your own), you need to be much more careful than this was. Dave
Hansen says:
"So, the underlying bug here is that we now a get_user_pages_remote()
and then go ahead and do the p*_access_permitted() checks against the
current PKRU. This was introduced recently with the addition of the
new p??_access_permitted() calls.
We have checks in the VMA path for the "remote" gups and we avoid
consulting PKRU for them. This got missed in the pkeys selftests
because I did a ptrace read, but not a *write*. I also didn't
explicitly test it against something where a COW needed to be done"
It's also not entirely clear that it makes sense to check the protection
key bits at this level at all. But one possible eventual solution is to
make the get_user_pages_fast() case just abort if it sees protection key
bits set, which makes us fall back to the regular get_user_pages() case,
which then has a vma and can do the check there if we want to.
We'll see.
Somewhat related to this all: what we _do_ want to do some day is to
check the PAGE_USER bit - it should obviously always be set for user
pages, but it would be a good check to have back. Because we have no
generic way to test for it, we lost it as part of moving over from the
architecture-specific x86 GUP implementation to the generic one in
commit e585513b76f7 ("x86/mm/gup: Switch GUP to the generic
get_user_page_fast() implementation").

Patch series "mm: introduce MAP_FIXED_SAFE", v2.
This has started as a follow up discussion [3][4] resulting in the runtime
failure caused by hardening patch [5] which removes MAP_FIXED from the elf
loader because MAP_FIXED is inherently dangerous as it might silently
clobber an existing underlying mapping (e.g. stack). The reason for the
failure is that some architectures enforce an alignment for the given
address hint without MAP_FIXED used (e.g. for shared or file backed
mappings).
One way around this would be excluding those archs which do alignment
tricks from the hardening [6]. The patch is really trivial but it has
been objected, rightfully so, that this screams for a more generic
solution. We basically want a non-destructive MAP_FIXED.
The first patch introduced MAP_FIXED_SAFE which enforces the given address
but unlike MAP_FIXED it fails with EEXIST if the given range conflicts
with an existing one. The flag is introduced as a completely new one
rather than a MAP_FIXED extension because of the backward compatibility.
We really want a never-clobber semantic even on older kernels which do not
recognize the flag. Unfortunately mmap sucks wrt. flags evaluation
because we do not EINVAL on unknown flags. On those kernels we would
simply use the traditional hint based semantic so the caller can still get
a different address (which sucks) but at least not silently corrupt an
existing mapping. I do not see a good way around that. Except we won't
export expose the new semantic to the userspace at all.
It seems there are users who would like to have something like that.
Jemalloc has been mentioned by Michael Ellerman [7]
Florian Weimer has mentioned the following:
: glibc ld.so currently maps DSOs without hints. This means that the kernel
: will map right next to each other, and the offsets between them a completely
: predictable. We would like to change that and supply a random address in a
: window of the address space. If there is a conflict, we do not want the
: kernel to pick a non-random address. Instead, we would try again with a
: random address.
John Hubbard has mentioned CUDA example
: a) Searches /proc/<pid>/maps for a "suitable" region of available
: VA space. "Suitable" generally means it has to have a base address
: within a certain limited range (a particular device model might

The second patch simply replaces MAP_FIXED use in elf loader by
MAP_FIXED_SAFE. I believe other places which rely on MAP_FIXED should
follow. Actually real MAP_FIXED usages should be docummented properly and
they should be more of an exception.

This patch (of 2):
MAP_FIXED is used quite often to enforce mapping at the particular range.
The main problem of this flag is, however, that it is inherently dangerous
because it unmaps existing mappings covered by the requested range. This
can cause silent memory corruptions. Some of them even with serious
security implications. While the current semantic might be really
desiderable in many cases there are others which would want to enforce the
given range but rather see a failure than a silent memory corruption on a
clashing range. Please note that there is no guarantee that a given range
is obeyed by the mmap even when it is free - e.g. arch specific code is
allowed to apply an alignment.
Introduce a new MAP_FIXED_SAFE flag for mmap to achieve this behavior. It
has the same semantic as MAP_FIXED wrt. the given address request with a
single exception that it fails with EEXIST if the requested address is
already covered by an existing mapping. We still do rely on
get_unmaped_area to handle all the arch specific MAP_FIXED treatment and
check for a conflicting vma after it returns.
The flag is introduced as a completely new one rather than a MAP_FIXED
extension because of the backward compatibility. We really want a
never-clobber semantic even on older kernels which do not recognize the
flag. Unfortunately mmap sucks wrt. flags evaluation because we do not
EINVAL on unknown flags. On those kernels we would simply use the
traditional hint based semantic so the caller can still get a different
address (which sucks) but at least not silently corrupt an existing
mapping. I do not see a good way around that.

Instead of marking the pmd ready for split, invalidate the pmd. This
should take care of powerpc requirement. Only side effect is that we mark
the pmd invalid early. This can result in us blocking access to the page
a bit longer if we race against a thp split.

Vlastimil noted that pmdp_invalidate() is not atomic and we can lose dirty
and access bits if CPU sets them after pmdp dereference, but before
set_pmd_at().
The patch change pmdp_invalidate() to make the entry non-present
atomically and return previous value of the entry. This value can be used
to check if CPU set dirty/accessed bits under us.
The race window is very small and I haven't seen any reports that can be
attributed to the bug. For this reason, I don't think backporting to
stable trees needed.

Several users of unmap_mapping_range() would prefer to express their range
in pages rather than bytes. Unfortuately, on a 32-bit kernel, you have to
remember to cast your page number to a 64-bit type before shifting it, and
four places in the current tree didn't remember to do that. That's a sign
of a bad interface.
Conveniently, unmap_mapping_range() actually converts from bytes into
pages, so hoist the guts of unmap_mapping_range() into a new function
unmap_mapping_pages() and convert the callers which want to use pages.

Patch series "mm/cma: manage the memory of the CMA area by using the
ZONE_MOVABLE", v2.
0. History
This patchset is the follow-up of the discussion about the "Introduce
ZONE_CMA (v7)" [1]. Please reference it if more information is needed.
1. What does this patch do?
This patch changes the management way for the memory of the CMA area in
the MM subsystem. Currently the memory of the CMA area is managed by the
zone where their pfn is belong to. However, this approach has some
problems since MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to handle the
situation that different characteristic memories are in a single zone. To
solve this issue, this patch try to manage all the memory of the CMA area
by using the MOVABLE zone. In MM subsystem's point of view,
characteristic of the memory on the MOVABLE zone and the memory of the CMA
area are the same. So, managing the memory of the CMA area by using the
MOVABLE zone will not have any problem.
2. Motivation
There are some problems with current approach. See following. Although
these problem would not be inherent and it could be fixed without this
conception change, it requires many hooks addition in various code path
and it would be intrusive to core MM and would be really error-prone.
Therefore, I try to solve them with this new approach. Anyway, following
is the problems of the current implementation.
o CMA memory utilization
First, following is the freepage calculation logic in MM.
- For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage
- For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage
Freepages on the CMA area is used after the normal freepages in the zone
where the memory of the CMA area is belong to are exhausted. At that
moment that the number of the normal freepages is zero, so
- For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage
- For unmovable allocation: freepage = 0
If unmovable allocation comes at this moment, allocation request would
fail to pass the watermark check and reclaim is started. After reclaim,
there would exist the normal freepages so freepages on the CMA areas would
not be used.
FYI, there is another attempt [2] trying to solve this problem in lkml.
And, as far as I know, Qualcomm also has out-of-tree solution for this
problem.
o useless reclaim
There is no logic to distinguish CMA pages in the reclaim path. Hence,
CMA page is reclaimed even if the system just needs the page that can be
usable for the kernel allocation.
o atomic allocation failure
This is also related to the fallback allocation policy for the memory of
the CMA area. Consider the situation that the number of the normal
freepages is *zero* since the bunch of the movable allocation requests
come. Kswapd would not be woken up due to following freepage calculation
logic.
- For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage
If atomic unmovable allocation request comes at this moment, it would
fails due to following logic.
- For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage = 0
It was reported by Aneesh [3].
o useless compaction
Usual high-order allocation request is unmovable allocation request and it
cannot be served from the memory of the CMA area. In compaction,
migration scanner try to migrate the page in the CMA area and make
high-order page there. As mentioned above, it cannot be usable for the
unmovable allocation request so it's just waste.
3. Current approach and new approach
Current approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the zone
where their pfn is belong to. However, these memory should be
distinguishable since they have a strong limitation. So, they are marked
as MIGRATE_CMA in pageblock flag and handled specially. However, as
mentioned in section 2, the MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to deal
with this special pageblock so many problems raised.
New approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the MOVABLE
zone. MM already have enough logic to deal with special zone like as
HIGHMEM and MOVABLE zone. So, managing the memory of the CMA area by the
MOVABLE zone just naturally work well because constraints for the memory
of the CMA area that the memory should always be migratable is the same
with the constraint for the MOVABLE zone.
There is one side-effect for the usability of the memory of the CMA area.
The use of MOVABLE zone is only allowed for a request with GFP_HIGHMEM &&
GFP_MOVABLE so now the memory of the CMA area is also only allowed for
this gfp flag. Before this patchset, a request with GFP_MOVABLE can use
them. IMO, It would not be a big issue since most of GFP_MOVABLE request
also has GFP_HIGHMEM flag. For example, file cache page and anonymous
page. However, file cache page for blockdev file is an exception.
Request for it has no GFP_HIGHMEM flag. There is pros and cons on this
exception. In my experience, blockdev file cache pages are one of the top
reason that causes cma_alloc() to fail temporarily. So, we can get more
guarantee of cma_alloc() success by discarding this case.
Note that there is no change in admin POV since this patchset is just for
internal implementation change in MM subsystem. Just one minor difference
for admin is that the memory stat for CMA area will be printed in the
MOVABLE zone. That's all.

Freepage on ZONE_HIGHMEM doesn't work for kernel memory so it's not that
important to reserve. When ZONE_MOVABLE is used, this problem would
theorectically cause to decrease usable memory for GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE
allocation request which is mainly used for page cache and anon page
allocation. So, fix it by setting 0 to
sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[ZONE_HIGHMEM].
And, defining sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio array by MAX_NR_ZONES - 1 size
makes code complex. For example, if there is highmem system, following
reserve ratio is activated for *NORMAL ZONE* which would be easyily
misleading people.
#ifdef CONFIG_HIGHMEM
32
#endif
This patch also fixes this situation by defining
sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio array by MAX_NR_ZONES and place "#ifdef" to
right place.

The "strictlimit" feature was introduced to enforce per-bdi dirty limits
for FUSE which sets bdi max_ratio to 1% by default:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/105809
However the feature can be useful for other relatively slow or untrusted
BDIs like USB flash drives and DVD+RW. The patch adds a knob to enable
the feature:
echo 1 > /sys/class/bdi/X:Y/strictlimit
Being enabled, the feature enforces bdi max_ratio limit even if global
(10%) dirty limit is not reached. Of course, the effect is not visible
until /sys/class/bdi/X:Y/max_ratio is decreased to some reasonable value.
Jan said:
: In principle I have nothing against this and the usecase sounds reasonable

: desktop automounters usually mount USB devices with 'sync' mount option).

register_page_bootmem_info_section()
When we call register_page_bootmem_info_section() having
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP enabled, we check if the pfn is valid. This
check is redundant as we already checked this in
register_page_bootmem_info_node() before calling
register_page_bootmem_info_section(), so let's get rid of it.

hugepages_treat_as_movable has been introduced by 396faf0303d2 ("Allow
huge page allocations to use GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE") to allow hugetlb
allocations from ZONE_MOVABLE even when hugetlb pages were not
migrateable. The purpose of the movable zone was different at the time.
It aimed at reducing memory fragmentation and hugetlb pages being long
lived and large werre not contributing to the fragmentation so it was
acceptable to use the zone back then.
Things have changed though and the primary purpose of the zone became
migratability guarantee. If we allow non migrateable hugetlb pages to be
in ZONE_MOVABLE memory hotplug might fail to offline the memory.
Remove the knob and only rely on hugepage_migration_supported to allow
movable zones.
Mel said:
: Primarily it was aimed at allowing the hugetlb pool to safely shrink with
: the ability to grow it again. The use case was for batched jobs, some of
: which needed huge pages and others that did not but didn't want the memory
: useless pinned in the huge pages pool.
:
: I suspect that more users rely on THP than hugetlbfs for flexible use of
: huge pages with fallback options so I think that removing the option
: should be ok.

Add a "groupoom" cgroup v2 mount option to enable the cgroup-aware OOM
killer. If not set, the OOM selection is performed in a "traditional"
per-process way.
The behavior can be changed dynamically by remounting the cgroupfs.

Cgroup-aware OOM killer depends on cgroup mount option and is turned off
by default, despite the user interface (memory.oom_group file) is always
present. As it might be confusing to a user, let's return -ENOTSUPP on an
attempt to access to memory.oom_group if groupoom is not enabled globally.
Example:
$ cd /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/
$ cat memory.oom_group
cat: memory.oom_group: Unknown error 524
$ echo 1 > memory.oom_group
-bash: echo: write error: Unknown error 524
$ mount -o remount,groupoom /sys/fs/cgroup
$ echo 1 > memory.oom_group
$ cat memory.oom_group
1

The cgroup-aware OOM killer treats leaf memory cgroups as memory
consumption entities and performs the victim selection by comparing them
based on their memory footprint. Then it kills the biggest task inside
the selected memory cgroup.
But there are workloads, which are not tolerant to a such behavior.
Killing a random task may leave the workload in a broken state.
To solve this problem, memory.oom_group knob is introduced. It will
define, whether a memory group should be treated as an indivisible memory
consumer, compared by total memory consumption with other memory consumers
(leaf memory cgroups and other memory cgroups with memory.oom_group set),
and whether all belonging tasks should be killed if the cgroup is
selected.
If set on memcg A, it means that in case of system-wide OOM or memcg-wide
OOM scoped to A or any ancestor cgroup, all tasks, belonging to the
sub-tree of A will be killed. If OOM event is scoped to a descendant
cgroup (A/B, for example), only tasks in that cgroup can be affected. OOM
killer will never touch any tasks outside of the scope of the OOM event.
Also, tasks with oom_score_adj set to -1000 will not be killed because
this has been a long established way to protect a particular process from
seeing an unexpected SIGKILL from the OOM killer. Ignoring this user
defined configuration might lead to data corruptions or other misbehavior.
The default value is 0.

Traditionally, the OOM killer is operating on a process level. Under oom
conditions, it finds a process with the highest oom score and kills it.
This behavior doesn't suit well the system with many running containers:
1) There is no fairness between containers. A small container with few
large processes will be chosen over a large one with huge number of
small processes.
2) Containers often do not expect that some random process inside will
be killed. In many cases much safer behavior is to kill all tasks in
the container. Traditionally, this was implemented in userspace, but
doing it in the kernel has some advantages, especially in a case of a
system-wide OOM.
To address these issues, the cgroup-aware OOM killer is introduced.
This patch introduces the core functionality: an ability to select a
memory cgroup as an OOM victim. Under OOM conditions the OOM killer looks
for the biggest leaf memory cgroup and kills the biggest task belonging to
it.
The following patches will extend this functionality to consider non-leaf
memory cgroups as OOM victims, and also provide an ability to kill all
tasks belonging to the victim cgroup.
The root cgroup is treated as a leaf memory cgroup, so it's score is
compared with other leaf memory cgroups. Due to memcg statistics
implementation a special approximation is used for estimating oom_score of
root memory cgroup: we sum oom_score of the belonging processes (or, to be
more precise, tasks owning their mm structures).

Implement mem_cgroup_scan_tasks() functionality for the root memory cgroup
to use this function for looking for a OOM victim task in the root memory
cgroup by the cgroup-ware OOM killer.
The root memory cgroup is treated as a leaf cgroup, so only tasks which
are directly belonging to the root cgroup are iterated over.
This patch doesn't introduce any functional change as
mem_cgroup_scan_tasks() is never called for the root memcg. This is
preparatory work for the cgroup-aware OOM killer, which will use this
function to iterate over tasks belonging to the root memcg.

Patch series "cgroup-aware OOM killer", v13.
This patchset makes the OOM killer cgroup-aware.
This patch (of 7):
oom_kill_process() consists of two logical parts: the first one is
responsible for considering task's children as a potential victim and
printing the debug information. The second half is responsible for
sending SIGKILL to all tasks sharing the mm struct with the given victim.
This commit splits oom_kill_process() with an intention to re-use the the
second half: __oom_kill_process().
The cgroup-aware OOM killer will kill multiple tasks belonging to the
victim cgroup. We don't need to print the debug information for the each
task, as well as play with task selection (considering task's children),
so we can't use the existing oom_kill_process().

list_lru_del() removes the given item from the LRU list. The operation
looks simple, but it involves writing into the cachelines of the two
neighboring list entries in order to get the deletion done. That can take
a while if the cachelines aren't there yet, thus prolonging the lock hold
time.
To reduce the lock hold time, the cachelines of the two neighboring list
entries are now prefetched before acquiring the list_lru_node's lock.
Using a multi-threaded test program that created a large number of
dentries and then killed them, the execution time was reduced from 38.5s
to 36.6s after applying the patch on a 2-socket 36-core 72-thread x86-64
system.

Shakeel Butt reported he has observed in production systems that the job
loader gets stuck for 10s of seconds while doing a mount operation. It
turns out that it was stuck in register_shrinker() because some unrelated
job was under memory pressure and was spending time in shrink_slab().
Machines have a lot of shrinkers registered and jobs under memory pressure
have to traverse all of those memcg-aware shrinkers and affect unrelated
jobs which want to register their own shrinkers.
To solve the issue, this patch simply bails out slab shrinking if it is
found that someone wants to register a shrinker in parallel. A downside
is it could cause unfair shrinking between shrinkers. However, it should
be rare and we can add compilcated logic if we find it's not enough.

When I see recent change of swap readahead, I am very unhappy about
current code structure which diverges two swap readahead algorithm in
do_swap_page. This patch is to clean it up.
Main motivation is that fault handler doesn't need to be aware of
readahead algorithms but just should call swapin_readahead.
As first step, this patch cleans up a little bit but not perfect (I just
separate for review easier) so next patch will make the goal complete.
