Patch series "remove Xen tmem leftovers". Since the removal of the Xen tmem driver in 2019, the cleancache hooks are entirely unused, as are large parts of frontswap. This series against linux-next (with the folio changes included) removes cleancaches, and cuts down frontswap to the bits actually used by zswap. This patch (of 13): The cleancache subsystem is unused since the removal of Xen tmem driver in commit 814bbf49 ("xen: remove tmem driver").

The non-interrupt portion of interrupt stack traces before interrupt entry is usually arbitrary. Therefore, saving stack traces of interrupts (that include entries before interrupt entry) to stack depot leads to unbounded stackdepot growth. As such, use of filter_irq_stacks() is a requirement to ensure stackdepot can efficiently deduplicate interrupt stacks. Looking through all current users of stack_depot_save(), none (except KASAN) pass the stack trace through filter_irq_stacks() before passing it on to stack_depot_save(). Rather than adding filter_irq_stacks() to all current users of stack_depot_save(), it became clear that stack_depot_save() should simply do filter_irq_stacks().

Currently, enabling CONFIG_STACKDEPOT means its stack_table will be allocated from memblock, even if stack depot ends up not actually used. The default size of stack_table is 4MB on 32-bit, 8MB on 64-bit. This is fine for use-cases such as KASAN which is also a config option and has overhead on its own. But it's an issue for functionality that has to be actually enabled on boot (page_owner) or depends on hardware (GPU drivers) and thus the memory might be wasted. This was raised as an issue [1] when attempting to add stackdepot support for SLUB's debug object tracking functionality. It's common to build kernels with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG and enable slub_debug on boot only when needed, or create only specific kmem caches with debugging for testing purposes. It would thus be more efficient if stackdepot's table was allocated only when actually going to be used. This patch thus makes the allocation (and whole stack_depot_init() call) optional: - Add a CONFIG_STACKDEPOT_ALWAYS_INIT flag to keep using the current well-defined point of allocation as part of mem_init(). Make CONFIG_KASAN select this flag. - Other users have to call stack_depot_init() as part of their own init when it's determined that stack depot will actually be used. This may depend on both config and runtime conditions. Convert current users which are page_owner and several in the DRM subsystem. Same will be done for SLUB later. - Because the init might now be called after the boot-time memblock allocation has given all memory to the buddy allocator, change stack_depot_init() to allocate stack_table with kvmalloc() when memblock is no longer available. Also handle allocation failure by disabling stackdepot (could have theoretically happened even with memblock allocation previously), and don't unnecessarily align the memblock allocation to its own size anymore.

Fix this by moving page_ext_init_flatmem_late() below kmem_cache_init() so that slab_is_available() is true during stack_depot_init(). SPARSEMEM doesn't have this issue, as it doesn't do page_ext_init_flatmem_late(), but a different page_ext_init() even later in the boot process.

PDE_DATA(inode) is introduced to get user private data and hide the layout of struct proc_dir_entry. The inode->i_private is used to do the same thing as well. Save a copy of user private data to inode-> i_private when proc inode is allocated. This means the user also can get their private data by inode->i_private. Introduce pde_data() to wrap inode->i_private so that we can remove PDE_DATA() from fs/proc/generic.c and make PTE_DATE() as a wrapper of pde_data(). It will be easier if we decide to remove PDE_DATE() in the future. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211124081956.87711-1-songmuchun@bytedance.comSigned-off-by:

The usage of get_cpu_var() in zs_map_object() is problematic because it disables preemption and makes it impossible to acquire any sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT such as a spinlock_t. Replace the get_cpu_var() usage with a local_lock_t which is embedded struct mapping_area. It ensures that the access the struct is synchronized against all users on the same CPU.

The zsmalloc has used a bit for spin_lock in zpage handle to keep zpage object alive during several operations. However, it causes the problem for PREEMPT_RT as well as introducing too complicated. This patch replaces the bit spin_lock with pool->migrate_lock rwlock. It could make the code simple as well as zsmalloc work under PREEMPT_RT. The drawback is the pool->migrate_lock is bigger granuarity than per zpage lock so the contention would be higher than old when both IO-related operations(i.e., zsmalloc, zsfree, zs_[map|unmap]) and compaction(page/zpage migration) are going in parallel(*, the migrate_lock is rwlock and IO related functions are all read side lock so there is no contention). However, the write-side is fast enough(dominant overhead is just page copy) so it wouldn't affect much. If the lock granurity becomes more problem later, we could introduce table locks based on handle as a hash value.

In preparation for converting bit_spin_lock to rwlock in zsmalloc so that multiple writers of zspages can run at the same time but those zspages are supposed to be different zspage instance.

zspage isolation for migration introduced additional exceptions to be dealt with since the zspage was isolated from class list. The reason why I isolated zspage from class list was to prevent race between obj_malloc and page migration via allocating zpage from the zspage further. However, it couldn't prevent object freeing from zspage so it needed corner case handling. This patch removes the whole mess. Now, we are fine since class->lock and zspage->lock can prevent the race.

Patch series "zsmalloc: remove bit_spin_lock", v2. zsmalloc uses bit_spin_lock to minimize space overhead since it's zpage granularity lock. However, it causes zsmalloc non-working under PREEMPT_RT as well as adding too much complication. This patchset tries to replace the bit_spin_lock with per-pool rwlock. It also removes unnecessary zspage isolation logic from class, which was the other part too much complication added into zsmalloc. Last patch changes the get_cpu_var to local_lock to make it work in PREEMPT_RT. This patch (of 9): get_zspage_mapping returns fullness as well as class_idx. However, the fullness is usually not used since it could be stale in some contexts. It causes misleading as well as unnecessary instructions so this patch introduces zspage_class. obj_to_location also produces page and index but we don't need always the index, either so this patch introduces obj_to_page.

This moves the namespace sysctls to its own file as part of the kernel/sysctl.c spring cleaning Since we have now removed all sysctls for "fs", we now have to declare it on the filesystem code, we do that using the new helper, which reduces boiler plate code. We rename init_fs_shared_sysctls() to init_fs_sysctls() to reflect that now fs/sysctls.c is taking on the burden of being the first to register the base directory as well. Lastly, since init code will load in the order in which we link it we have to move the sysctl code to be linked in early, so that its early init routine runs prior to other fs code. This way, other filesystem code can register their own sysctls using the helpers after this: * register_sysctl_init() * register_sysctl() Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211129211943.640266-3-mcgrof@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

Patch series "sysctl: add and use base directory declarer and registration helper". In this patch series we start addressing base directories, and so we start with the "fs" sysctls. The end goal is we end up completely moving all "fs" sysctl knobs out from kernel/sysctl. This patch (of 6): Add a set of helpers which can be used to declare and register base directory sysctls on their own. We do this so we can later move each of the base sysctl directories like "fs", "kernel", etc, to their own respective files instead of shoving the declarations and registrations all on kernel/sysctl.c. The lazy approach has caught up and with this, we just end up extending the list of base directories / sysctls on one file and this makes maintenance difficult due to merge conflicts from many developers. The declarations are used first by kernel/sysctl.c for registration its own base which over time we'll try to clean up. It will be used in the next patch to demonstrate how to cleanly deal with base sysctl directories.

The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we just care about the core logic. So move the inode sysctls to its own file. Since we are no longer using this outside of fs/ remove the extern declaration of its respective proc helper. We use early_initcall() as it is the earliest we can use.

The way to create a subdirectory on top of sysctl_mount_point is a bit obscure, and *why* we do that even so more. Provide a helper which makes it clear why we do this.

Patch series "sysctl: 3rd set of kernel/sysctl cleanups", v2. This is the third set of patches to help address cleaning the kitchen seink in kernel/sysctl.c and to move sysctls away to where they are actually implemented / used. This patch (of 8): kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain. To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we just care about the core logic. So move the firmware configuration sysctl table to the only place where it is used, and make it clear that if sysctls are disabled this is not used.
