Muchun Song found that after MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy was introduced in commit b27abacc ("mm/mempolicy: add MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY for multiple preferred nodes"), the policy_nodemask_current()'s semantics for this new policy has been changed, which returns 'preferred' nodes instead of 'allowed' nodes. With the changed semantic of policy_nodemask_current, a task with MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy could fail to get its reservation even though it can fall back to other nodes (either defined by cpusets or all online nodes) for that reservation failing mmap calles unnecessarily early. The fix is to not consider MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY for reservations at all because they, unlike MPOL_MBIND, do not pose any actual hard constrain. Michal suggested the policy_nodemask_current() is only used by hugetlb, and could be moved to hugetlb code with more explicit name to enforce the 'allowed' semantics for which only MPOL_BIND policy matters. apply_policy_zone() is made extern to be called in hugetlb code and its return value is changed to bool.

The mems_allowed field can be modified by other tasks, so it isn't safe to access it with alloc_lock unlocked even in the current process context. Say there are two tasks: A from cpusetA is performing set_mempolicy(2), and B is changing cpusetA's cpuset.mems: A (set_mempolicy) B (echo xx > cpuset.mems) ------------------------------------------------------- pol = mpol_new(); update_tasks_nodemask(cpusetA) { foreach t in cpusetA { cpuset_change_task_nodemask(t) { mpol_set_nodemask(pol) { task_lock(t); // t could be A new = f(A->mems_allowed); update t->mems_allowed; pol.create(pol, new); task_unlock(t); } } } } task_lock(A); A->mempolicy = pol; task_unlock(A); In this case A's pol->nodes is computed by old mems_allowed, and could be inconsistent with A's new mems_allowed. While it is different when replacing vmas' policy: the pol->nodes is gone wild only when current_cpuset_is_being_rebound(): A (mbind) B (echo xx > cpuset.mems) ------------------------------------------------------- pol = mpol_new(); mmap_write_lock(A->mm); cpuset_being_rebound = cpusetA; update_tasks_nodemask(cpusetA) { foreach t in cpusetA { cpuset_change_task_nodemask(t) { mpol_set_nodemask(pol) { task_lock(t); // t could be A mask = f(A->mems_allowed); update t->mems_allowed; pol.create(pol, mask); task_unlock(t); } } foreach v in A->mm { if (cpuset_being_rebound == cpusetA) pol.rebind(pol, cpuset.mems); v->vma_policy = pol; } mmap_write_unlock(A->mm); mmap_write_lock(t->mm); mpol_rebind_mm(t->mm); mmap_write_unlock(t->mm); } } cpuset_being_rebound = NULL; In this case, the cpuset.mems, which has already done updating, is finally used for calculating pol->nodes, rather than A->mems_allowed. So it is OK to call mpol_set_nodemask() with alloc_lock unlocked when doing mbind(2).

Currently only 12 characters of the cma name is being used as the debug directories where as the cma name can be of length CMA_MAX_NAME(=64) characters. One side problem with this is having 2 cma's with first common 12 characters would end up in trying to create directories with same name and fails with -EEXIST thus can limit cma debug functionality. The 'cma-' prefix is used initially where cma areas don't have any names and are represented by simple integer values. Since now each cma would be having its own name, drop 'cma-' prefix for the cma debug directories as they are clearly evident that they are for cma debug through creating them in /sys/kernel/debug/cma/ path.

pool->size_class array elements can't be NULL, so this check is not needed. In the whole code, we assign pool->size_class[i] values that are not NULL. Releasing memory for these values occurs in the zs_destroy_pool() function, which also releases and destroys the pool. In addition, in the zs_stats_size_show() and async_free_zspage(), with similar iterations over the array, we don't check it for NULL pointer.

We clearly want to ensure both userfaultfd(2) and /dev/userfaultfd keep working into the future, so just run the test twice, using each interface. Instead of always testing both userfaultfd(2) and /dev/userfaultfd, let the user choose which to test. As with other test features, change the behavior based on a new command line flag. Introduce the idea of "test mods", which are generic (not specific to a test type) modifications to the behavior of the test. This is sort of borrowed from this RFC patch series [1], but simplified a bit. The benefit is, in "typical" configurations this test is somewhat slow (say, 30sec or something). Testing both clearly doubles it, so it may not always be desirable, as users are likely to use one or the other, but never both, in the "real world".

Historically, it has been shown that intercepting kernel faults with userfaultfd (thereby forcing the kernel to wait for an arbitrary amount of time) can be exploited, or at least can make some kinds of exploits easier. So, in 37cd0575 "userfaultfd: add UFFD_USER_MODE_ONLY" we changed things so, in order for kernel faults to be handled by userfaultfd, either the process needs CAP_SYS_PTRACE, or this sysctl must be configured so that any unprivileged user can do it. In a typical implementation of a hypervisor with live migration (take QEMU/KVM as one such example), we do indeed need to be able to handle kernel faults. But, both options above are less than ideal: - Toggling the sysctl increases attack surface by allowing any unprivileged user to do it. - Granting the live migration process CAP_SYS_PTRACE gives it this ability, but *also* the ability to "observe and control the execution of another process [...], and examine and change [its] memory and registers" (from ptrace(2)). This isn't something we need or want to be able to do, so granting this permission violates the "principle of least privilege". This is all a long winded way to say: we want a more fine-grained way to grant access to userfaultfd, without granting other additional permissions at the same time. To achieve this, add a /dev/userfaultfd misc device. This device provides an alternative to the userfaultfd(2) syscall for the creation of new userfaultfds. The idea is, any userfaultfds created this way will be able to handle kernel faults, without the caller having any special capabilities. Access to this mechanism is instead restricted using e.g. standard filesystem permissions.

Patch series "userfaultfd: add /dev/userfaultfd for fine grained access control", v7. Why not ...? ============ - Why not /proc/[pid]/userfaultfd? Two main points (additional discussion [1]): - /proc/[pid]/* files are all owned by the user/group of the process, and they don't really support chmod/chown. So, without extending procfs it doesn't solve the problem this series is trying to solve. - The main argument *for* this was to support creating UFFDs for remote processes. But, that use case clearly calls for CAP_SYS_PTRACE, so to support this we could just use the UFFD syscall as-is. - Why not use a syscall? Access to syscalls is generally controlled by capabilities. We don't have a capability which is used for userfaultfd access without also granting more / other permissions as well, and adding a new capability was rejected [2]. - It's possible a LSM could be used to control access instead, but I have some concerns. I don't think this approach would be as easy to use, particularly if we were to try to solve this with something heavyweight like SELinux. Maybe we could pursue adding a new LSM specifically for this user case, but it may be too narrow of a case to justify that.

There are certain features (like minor fault support) which are only enabled on shared mappings, so without including hugetlb_shared we actually lose a significant amount of test coverage.

Add support to allocate and verify collapse of multiple hugepage-sized regions into multiple THPs. Add "nr" argument to check_huge() that instructs check_huge() to check for exactly "nr_hpages" THPs. This has the added benefit of now being able to check for exactly 0 THPs, and so callsites that previously checked the negation of exactly 1 THP are now more correct. ->collapse struct collapse_context hook has been expanded with a "nr_hpages" argument to collapse "nr_hpages" hugepages. The collapse_full() test has been repurposed to collapse 4 THPs at once. It is expected more tests will want to test multi THP collapse (e.g. file/shmem). This is of particular benefit to madvise collapse context given that it may do many THP collapses during a single syscall.

This idea was introduced by David Rientjes[1]. Introduce a new madvise mode, MADV_COLLAPSE, that allows users to request a synchronous collapse of memory at their own expense. The benefits of this approach are: * CPU is charged to the process that wants to spend the cycles for the THP * Avoid unpredictable timing of khugepaged collapse Semantics This call is independent of the system-wide THP sysfs settings, but will fail for memory marked VM_NOHUGEPAGE. If the ranges provided span multiple VMAs, the semantics of the collapse over each VMA is independent from the others. This implies a hugepage cannot cross a VMA boundary. If collapse of a given hugepage-aligned/sized region fails, the operation may continue to attempt collapsing the remainder of memory specified. The memory ranges provided must be page-aligned, but are not required to be hugepage-aligned. If the memory ranges are not hugepage-aligned, the start/end of the range will be clamped to the first/last hugepage-aligned address covered by said range. The memory ranges must span at least one hugepage-sized region. All non-resident pages covered by the range will first be swapped/faulted-in, before being internally copied onto a freshly allocated hugepage. Unmapped pages will have their data directly initialized to 0 in the new hugepage. However, for every eligible hugepage aligned/sized region to-be collapsed, at least one page must currently be backed by memory (a PMD covering the address range must already exist). Allocation for the new hugepage may enter direct reclaim and/or compaction, regardless of VMA flags. When the system has multiple NUMA nodes, the hugepage will be allocated from the node providing the most native pages. This operation operates on the current state of the specified process and makes no persistent changes or guarantees on how pages will be mapped, constructed, or faulted in the future Return Value If all hugepage-sized/aligned regions covered by the provided range were either successfully collapsed, or were already PMD-mapped THPs, this operation will be deemed successful. On success, process_madvise(2) returns the number of bytes advised, and madvise(2) returns 0. Else, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error for the most-recently attempted hugepage collapse. Note that many failures might have occurred, since the operation may continue to collapse in the event a single hugepage-sized/aligned region fails. ENOMEM Memory allocation failed or VMA not found EBUSY Memcg charging failed EAGAIN Required resource temporarily unavailable. Try again might succeed. EINVAL Other error: No PMD found, subpage doesn't have Present bit set, "Special" page no backed by struct page, VMA incorrectly sized, address not page-aligned, ... Most notable here is ENOMEM and EBUSY (new to madvise) which are intended to provide the caller with actionable feedback so they may take an appropriate fallback measure. Use Cases An immediate user of this new functionality are malloc() implementations that manage memory in hugepage-sized chunks, but sometimes subrelease memory back to the system in native-sized chunks via MADV_DONTNEED; zapping the pmd. Later, when the memory is hot, the implementation could madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to re-back the memory by THPs to regain hugepage coverage and dTLB performance. TCMalloc is such an implementation that could benefit from this[2]. Only privately-mapped anon memory is supported for now, but additional support for file, shmem, and HugeTLB high-granularity mappings[2] is expected. File and tmpfs/shmem support would permit: * Backing executable text by THPs. Current support provided by CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS may take a long time on a large system which might impair services from serving at their full rated load after (re)starting. Tricks like mremap(2)'ing text onto anonymous memory to immediately realize iTLB performance prevents page sharing and demand paging, both of which increase steady state memory footprint. With MADV_COLLAPSE, we get the best of both worlds: Peak upfront performance and lower RAM footprints. * Backing guest memory by hugapages after the memory contents have been migrated in native-page-sized chunks to a new host, in a userfaultfd-based live-migration stack.

When scanning an anon pmd to see if it's eligible for collapse, return SCAN_PMD_MAPPED if the pmd already maps a hugepage. Note that SCAN_PMD_MAPPED is different from SCAN_PAGE_COMPOUND used in the file-collapse path, since the latter might identify pte-mapped compound pages. This is required by MADV_COLLAPSE which necessarily needs to know what hugepage-aligned/sized regions are already pmd-mapped. In order to determine if a pmd already maps a hugepage, refactor mm_find_pmd(): Return mm_find_pmd() to it's pre-commit f72e7dcd ("mm: let mm_find_pmd fix buggy race with THP fault") behavior. ksm was the only caller that explicitly wanted a pte-mapping pmd, so open code the pte-mapping logic there (pmd_present() and pmd_trans_huge() checks). Undo revert change in commit f72e7dcd ("mm: let mm_find_pmd fix buggy race with THP fault") that open-coded split_huge_pmd_address() pmd lookup and use mm_find_pmd() instead.

MADV_COLLAPSE is not coupled to the kernel-oriented sysfs THP settings[1]. hugepage_vma_check() is the authority on determining if a VMA is eligible for THP allocation/collapse, and currently enforces the sysfs THP settings. Add a flag to disable these checks. For now, only apply this arg to anon and file, which use /sys/kernel/transparent_hugepage/enabled. We can expand this to shmem, which uses /sys/kernel/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled, later. Use this flag in collapse_pte_mapped_thp() where previously the VMA flags passed to hugepage_vma_check() were OR'd with VM_HUGEPAGE to elide the VM_HUGEPAGE check in "madvise" THP mode. Prior to "mm: khugepaged: check THP flag in hugepage_vma_check()", this check also didn't check "never" THP mode. As such, this restores the previous behavior of collapse_pte_mapped_thp() where sysfs THP settings are ignored. See comment in code for justification why this is OK.

Propagate enum scan_result codes back through return values of functions downstream of khugepaged_scan_file() and khugepaged_scan_pmd() to inform callers if the operation was successful, and if not, why. Since khugepaged_scan_pmd()'s return value already has a specific meaning (whether mmap_lock was unlocked or not), add a bool* argument to khugepaged_scan_pmd() to retrieve this information. Change khugepaged to take action based on the return values of khugepaged_scan_file() and khugepaged_scan_pmd() instead of acting deep within the collapsing functions themselves. hugepage_vma_revalidate() now returns SCAN_SUCCEED on success to be more consistent with enum scan_result propagation. Remove dependency on error pointers to communicate to khugepaged that allocation failed and it should sleep; instead just use the result of the scan (SCAN_ALLOC_HUGE_PAGE_FAIL if allocation fails).

Modularize hugepage collapse by introducing struct collapse_control. This structure serves to describe the properties of the requested collapse, as well as serve as a local scratch pad to use during the collapse itself. Start by moving global per-node khugepaged statistics into this new structure. Note that this structure is still statically allocated since CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT might be arbitrary large, and stack-allocating a MAX_NUMNODES-sized array could cause -Wframe-large-than= errors.

Patch series "mm: userspace hugepage collapse", v7. Introduction -------------------------------- This series provides a mechanism for userspace to induce a collapse of eligible ranges of memory into transparent hugepages in process context, thus permitting users to more tightly control their own hugepage utilization policy at their own expense. This idea was introduced by David Rientjes[5]. Interface -------------------------------- The proposed interface adds a new madvise(2) mode, MADV_COLLAPSE, and leverages the new process_madvise(2) call. process_madvise(2) Performs a synchronous collapse of the native pages mapped by the list of iovecs into transparent hugepages. This operation is independent of the system THP sysfs settings, but attempts to collapse VMAs marked VM_NOHUGEPAGE will still fail. THP allocation may enter direct reclaim and/or compaction. When a range spans multiple VMAs, the semantics of the collapse over of each VMA is independent from the others. Caller must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN if not acting on self. Return value follows existing process_madvise(2) conventions. A “success” indicates that all hugepage-sized/aligned regions covered by the provided range were either successfully collapsed, or were already pmd-mapped THPs. madvise(2) Equivalent to process_madvise(2) on self, with 0 returned on “success”. Current Use-Cases -------------------------------- (1) Immediately back executable text by THPs. Current support provided by CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS may take a long time on a large system which might impair services from serving at their full rated load after (re)starting. Tricks like mremap(2)'ing text onto anonymous memory to immediately realize iTLB performance prevents page sharing and demand paging, both of which increase steady state memory footprint. With MADV_COLLAPSE, we get the best of both worlds: Peak upfront performance and lower RAM footprints. Note that subsequent support for file-backed memory is required here. (2) malloc() implementations that manage memory in hugepage-sized chunks, but sometimes subrelease memory back to the system in native-sized chunks via MADV_DONTNEED; zapping the pmd. Later, when the memory is hot, the implementation could madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to re-back the memory by THPs to regain hugepage coverage and dTLB performance. TCMalloc is such an implementation that could benefit from this[6]. A prior study of Google internal workloads during evaluation of Temeraire, a hugepage-aware enhancement to TCMalloc, showed that nearly 20% of all cpu cycles were spent in dTLB stalls, and that increasing hugepage coverage by even small amount can help with that[7]. (3) userfaultfd-based live migration of virtual machines satisfy UFFD faults by fetching native-sized pages over the network (to avoid latency of transferring an entire hugepage). However, after guest memory has been fully copied to the new host, MADV_COLLAPSE can be used to immediately increase guest performance. Note that subsequent support for file/shmem-backed memory is required here. (4) HugeTLB high-granularity mapping allows HugeTLB a HugeTLB page to be mapped at different levels in the page tables[8]. As it's not "transparent" like THP, HugeTLB high-granularity mappings require an explicit user API. It is intended that MADV_COLLAPSE be co-opted for this use case[9]. Note that subsequent support for HugeTLB memory is required here. Future work -------------------------------- Only private anonymous memory is supported by this series. File and shmem memory support will be added later. One possible user of this functionality is a userspace agent that attempts to optimize THP utilization system-wide by allocating THPs based on, for example, task priority, task performance requirements, or heatmaps. For the latter, one idea that has already surfaced is using DAMON to identify hot regions, and driving THP collapse through a new DAMOS_COLLAPSE scheme[10]. This patch (of 17): The khugepaged has optimization to reduce huge page allocation calls for !CONFIG_NUMA by carrying the allocated but failed to collapse huge page to the next loop. CONFIG_NUMA doesn't do so since the next loop may try to collapse huge page from a different node, so it doesn't make too much sense to carry it. But when NUMA=n, the huge page is allocated by khugepaged_prealloc_page() before scanning the address space, so it means huge page may be allocated even though there is no suitable range for collapsing. Then the page would be just freed if khugepaged already made enough progress. This could make NUMA=n run have 5 times as much thp_collapse_alloc as NUMA=y run. This problem actually makes things worse due to the way more pointless THP allocations and makes the optimization pointless. This could be fixed by carrying the huge page across scans, but it will complicate the code further and the huge page may be carried indefinitely. But if we take one step back, the optimization itself seems not worth keeping nowadays since: * Not too many users build NUMA=n kernel nowadays even though the kernel is actually running on a non-NUMA machine. Some small devices may run NUMA=n kernel, but I don't think they actually use THP. * Since commit 44042b44 ("mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists"), THP could be cached by pcp. This actually somehow does the job done by the optimization.

When user tries to create a DAMON context via the DAMON debugfs interface with a name of an already existing context, the context directory creation fails but a new context is created and added in the internal data structure, due to absence of the directory creation success check. As a result, memory could leak and DAMON cannot be turned on. An example test case is as below: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/damon/ # echo "off" > monitor_on # echo paddr > target_ids # echo "abc" > mk_context # echo "abc" > mk_context # echo $$ > abc/target_ids # echo "on" > monitor_on <<< fails Return value of 'debugfs_create_dir()' is expected to be ignored in general, but this is an exceptional case as DAMON feature is depending on the debugfs functionality and it has the potential duplicate name issue. This commit therefore fixes the issue by checking the directory creation failure and immediately return the error in the case.
