There are many places in memcg_charge_slab() and memcg_uncharge_slab() which are calculating the number of pages to charge, css references to grab etc depending on the order of the slab page. Let's simplify the code by calculating it once and caching in the local variable. Signed-off-by:

These functions are charging the given number of kernel pages to the given memory cgroup. The number doesn't have to be a power of two. Let's make them to take the unsigned int nr_pages as an argument instead of the page order. It makes them look consistent with the corresponding uncharge functions and functions like: mem_cgroup_charge_skmem(memcg, nr_pages). Signed-off-by:

Rename (__)memcg_kmem_(un)charge() into (__)memcg_kmem_(un)charge_page() to better reflect what they are actually doing: 1) call __memcg_kmem_(un)charge_memcg() to actually charge or uncharge the current memcg 2) set or clear the PageKmemcg flag Signed-off-by:

Patch series "mm: memcg: kmem API cleanup", v2. This patchset aims to clean up the kernel memory charging API. It doesn't bring any functional changes, just removes unused arguments, renames some functions and fixes some comments. Currently it's not obvious which functions are most basic (memcg_kmem_(un)charge_memcg()) and which are based on them (memcg_kmem_(un)charge()). The patchset renames these functions and removes unused arguments: TL;DR: was: memcg_kmem_charge_memcg(page, gfp, order, memcg) memcg_kmem_uncharge_memcg(memcg, nr_pages) memcg_kmem_charge(page, gfp, order) memcg_kmem_uncharge(page, order) now: memcg_kmem_charge(memcg, gfp, nr_pages) memcg_kmem_uncharge(memcg, nr_pages) memcg_kmem_charge_page(page, gfp, order) memcg_kmem_uncharge_page(page, order) This patch (of 6): The first argument of memcg_kmem_charge_memcg() and __memcg_kmem_charge_memcg() is the page pointer and it's not used. Let's drop it. Memcg pointer is passed as the last argument. Move it to the first place for consistency with other memcg functions, e.g. __memcg_kmem_uncharge_memcg() or try_charge(). Signed-off-by:

Sometimes we need to get a memcg pointer from a charged kernel object. The right way to get it depends on whether it's a proper slab object or it's backed by raw pages (e.g. it's a vmalloc alloction). In the first case the kmem_cache->memcg_params.memcg indirection should be used; in other cases it's just page->mem_cgroup. To simplify this task and hide the implementation details let's use the mem_cgroup_from_obj() helper, which takes a pointer to any kernel object and returns a valid memcg pointer or NULL. Passing a kernel address rather than a pointer to a page will allow to use this helper for per-object (rather than per-page) tracked objects in the future. The caller is still responsible to ensure that the returned memcg isn't going away underneath: take the rcu read lock, cgroup mutex etc; depending on the context. mem_cgroup_from_kmem() defined in mm/list_lru.c is now obsolete and can be removed.

The shrinker_map may be touched from any cpu (e.g., a bit there may be set by a task running everywhere) but kswapd is always bound to specific node. So allocate shrinker_map from the related NUMA node to respect its NUMA locality. Also, this follows generic way we use for allocation of memcg's per-node data. Signed-off-by:

add_to_swap_cache() and delete_from_swap_cache() are counterparts, while currently they use different ways to count pages. It doesn't break anything because we only have two sizes for PageAnon, but this is confusing and not good practice. This patch corrects it by making both functions use hpage_nr_pages().

Memory barrier is needed after setting LRU bit, but smp_mb() is too strong. Some architectures, i.e. x86, imply memory barrier with atomic operations, so replacing it with smp_mb__after_atomic() sounds better, which is nop on strong ordered machines, and full memory barriers on others. With this change the vm-scalability cases would perform better on x86, I saw total 6% improvement with this patch and previous inline fix.

When backporting commit 9c4e6b1a ("mm, mlock, vmscan: no more skipping pagevecs") to our 4.9 kernel, our test bench noticed around 10% down with a couple of vm-scalability's test cases (lru-file-readonce, lru-file-readtwice and lru-file-mmap-read). I didn't see that much down on my VM (32c-64g-2nodes). It might be caused by the test configuration, which is 32c-256g with NUMA disabled and the tests were run in root memcg, so the tests actually stress only one inactive and active lru. It sounds not very usual in mordern production environment. That commit did two major changes: 1. Call page_evictable() 2. Use smp_mb to force the PG_lru set visible It looks they contribute the most overhead. The page_evictable() is a function which does function prologue and epilogue, and that was used by page reclaim path only. However, lru add is a very hot path, so it sounds better to make it inline. However, it calls page_mapping() which is not inlined either, but the disassemble shows it doesn't do push and pop operations and it sounds not very straightforward to inline it. Other than this, it sounds smp_mb() is not necessary for x86 since SetPageLRU is atomic which enforces memory barrier already, replace it with smp_mb__after_atomic() in the following patch. With the two fixes applied, the tests can get back around 5% on that test bench and get back normal on my VM. Since the test bench configuration is not that usual and I also saw around 6% up on the latest upstream, so it sounds good enough IMHO. The below is test data (lru-file-readtwice throughput) against the v5.6-rc4: mainline w/ inline fix 150MB 154MB With this patch the throughput gets 2.67% up. The data with using smp_mb__after_atomic() is showed in the following patch. Shakeel Butt did the below test: On a real machine with limiting the 'dd' on a single node and reading 100 GiB sparse file (less than a single node). Just ran a single instance to not cause the lru lock contention. The cmdline used is "dd if=file-100GiB of=/dev/null bs=4k". Ran the cmd 10 times with drop_caches in between and measured the time it took.

Currently we use a tmp pointer, pentry, to transfer and reset swap cache slot, which is a little redundant. Swap cache slot stores the entry value directly, assign and reset it by value would be straight forward. Also this patch merges the else and if, since this is the only case we refill and repeat swap cache. Signed-off-by:

FOLL_LONGTERM is a special case of FOLL_PIN. It suggests a pin which is going to be given to hardware and can't move. It would truncate CMA permanently and should be excluded. In gup slow path, where __gup_longterm_locked->check_and_migrate_cma_pages() handles FOLL_LONGTERM, but in fast path, there lacks such a check, which means a possible leak of CMA page to longterm pinned. Place a check in try_grab_compound_head() in the fast path to fix the leak, and if FOLL_LONGTERM happens on CMA, it will fall back to slow path to migrate the page. Some note about the check: Huge page's subpages have the same migrate type due to either allocation from a free_list[] or alloc_contig_range() with param MIGRATE_MOVABLE. So it is enough to check on a single subpage by is_migrate_cma_page(subpage) Signed-off-by:

With the introduction of protected KVM guests on s390 there is now a concept of inaccessible pages. These pages need to be made accessible before the host can access them. While cpu accesses will trigger a fault that can be resolved, I/O accesses will just fail. We need to add a callback into architecture code for places that will do I/O, namely when writeback is started or when a page reference is taken. This is not only to enable paging, file backing etc, it is also necessary to protect the host against a malicious user space. For example a bad QEMU could simply start direct I/O on such protected memory. We do not want userspace to be able to trigger I/O errors and thus the logic is "whenever somebody accesses that page (gup) or does I/O, make sure that this page can be accessed". When the guest tries to access that page we will wait in the page fault handler for writeback to have finished and for the page_ref to be the expected value. On s390x the function is not supposed to fail, so it is ok to use a WARN_ON on failure. If we ever need some more finegrained handling we can tackle this when we know the details. Signed-off-by:

As part of pin_user_pages() and related API calls, pages are "dma-pinned". For the case of compound pages of order > 1, the per-page accounting of dma pins is accomplished via the 3rd struct page in the compound page.

There was no protection against a corrupted struct page having an implausible compound_head(). Sanity check that a compound page has a head within reach of the maximum allocatable page (this will need to be adjusted if one of the plans to allocate 1GB pages comes to fruition). In addition, - Print the mapping pointer using %p insted of %px. The actual value of the pointer can be read out of the raw page dump and using %p gives a chance to correlate it with an earlier printk of the mapping pointer - Print the mapping pointer from the head page, not the tail page (the tail ->mapping pointer may be in use for other purposes, eg part of a list_head) - Print the order of the page for compound pages - Dump the raw head page as well as the raw page - Print the refcount from the head page, not the tail page Suggested-by:

It's good to have basic unit test coverage of the new FOLL_PIN behavior. Fortunately, the gup_benchmark unit test is extremely fast (a few milliseconds), so adding it the the run_vmtests suite is going to cause no noticeable change in running time. So, add two new invocations to run_vmtests: 1) Run gup_benchmark with normal get_user_pages(). 2) Run gup_benchmark with pin_user_pages(). This is much like the first call, except that it sets FOLL_PIN. Running these two in quick succession also provide a visual comparison of the running times, which is convenient. The new invocations are fairly early in the run_vmtests script, because with test suites, it's usually preferable to put the shorter, faster tests first, all other things being equal. Signed-off-by:

Up until now, gup_benchmark supported testing of the following kernel functions: * get_user_pages(): via the '-U' command line option * get_user_pages_longterm(): via the '-L' command line option * get_user_pages_fast(): as the default (no options required) Add test coverage for the new corresponding pin_*() functions: * pin_user_pages_fast(): via the '-a' command line option * pin_user_pages(): via the '-b' command line option Also, add an option for clarity: '-u' for what is now (still) the default choice: get_user_pages_fast(). Also, for the commands that set FOLL_PIN, verify that the pages really are dma-pinned, via the new is_dma_pinned() routine. Those commands are: PIN_FAST_BENCHMARK : calls pin_user_pages_fast() PIN_BENCHMARK : calls pin_user_pages() In between the calls to pin_*() and unpin_user_pages(), check each page: if page_maybe_dma_pinned() returns false, then WARN and return. Do this outside of the benchmark timestamps, so that it doesn't affect reported times. Signed-off-by: -

Now that pages are "DMA-pinned" via pin_user_page*(), and unpinned via unpin_user_pages*(), we need some visibility into whether all of this is working correctly. Add two new fields to /proc/vmstat: nr_foll_pin_acquired nr_foll_pin_released These are documented in Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst. They represent the number of pages (since boot time) that have been pinned ("nr_foll_pin_acquired") and unpinned ("nr_foll_pin_released"), via pin_user_pages*() and unpin_user_pages*(). In the absence of long-running DMA or RDMA operations that hold pages pinned, the above two fields will normally be equal to each other. Also: update Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst, to remove an earlier (now confirmed untrue) claim about a performance problem with /proc/vmstat. Also: update Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst to rename the new /proc/vmstat entries, to the names listed here. Signed-off-by:Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Acked-by:

For huge pages (and in fact, any compound page), the GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS scheme tends to overflow too easily, each tail page increments the head page->_refcount by GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS (1024). That limits the number of huge pages that can be pinned. This patch removes that limitation, by using an exact form of pin counting for compound pages of order > 1. The "order > 1" is required because this approach uses the 3rd struct page in the compound page, and order 1 compound pages only have two pages, so that won't work there. A new struct page field, hpage_pinned_refcount, has been added, replacing a padding field in the union (so no new space is used). This enhancement also has a useful side effect: huge pages and compound pages (of order > 1) do not suffer from the "potential false positives" problem that is discussed in the page_dma_pinned() comment block. That is because these compound pages have extra space for tracking things, so they get exact pin counts instead of overloading page->_refcount. Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst is updated accordingly. Suggested-by:

Add tracking of pages that were pinned via FOLL_PIN. This tracking is implemented via overloading of page->_refcount: pins are added by adding GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS (1024) to the refcount. This provides a fuzzy indication of pinning, and it can have false positives (and that's OK). Please see the pre-existing Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst for details. As mentioned in pin_user_pages.rst, callers who effectively set FOLL_PIN (typically via pin_user_pages*()) are required to ultimately free such pages via unpin_user_page(). Please also note the limitation, discussed in pin_user_pages.rst under the "TODO: for 1GB and larger huge pages" section. (That limitation will be removed in a following patch.) The effect of a FOLL_PIN flag is similar to that of FOLL_GET, and may be thought of as "FOLL_GET for DIO and/or RDMA use". Pages that have been pinned via FOLL_PIN are identifiable via a new function call: bool page_maybe_dma_pinned(struct page *page); What to do in response to encountering such a page, is left to later patchsets. There is discussion about this in [1], [2], [3], and [4]. This also changes a BUG_ON(), to a WARN_ON(), in follow_page_mask().

An upcoming patch requires subtracting a large chunk of refcounts from a page, and checking what the resulting refcount is. This is a little different than the usual "check for zero refcount" that many of the page ref functions already do. However, it is similar to a few other routines that (like this one) are generally useful for things such as 1-based refcounting. Add page_ref_sub_return(), that subtracts a chunk of refcounts atomically, and returns an atomic snapshot of the result. Signed-off-by:

Patch series "mm/gup: track FOLL_PIN pages", v6. This activates tracking of FOLL_PIN pages. This is in support of fixing the get_user_pages()+DMA problem described in [1]-[4]. FOLL_PIN support is now in the main linux tree. However, the patch to use FOLL_PIN to track pages was *not* submitted, because Leon saw an RDMA test suite failure that involved (I think) page refcount overflows when huge pages were used. This patch definitively solves that kind of overflow problem, by adding an exact pincount, for compound pages (of order > 1), in the 3rd struct page of a compound page. If available, that form of pincounting is used, instead of the GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS approach. Thanks again to Jan Kara for that idea. Other interesting changes: * dump_page(): added one, or two new things to report for compound pages: head refcount (for all compound pages), and map_pincount (for compound pages of order > 1). * Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst: removed the "TODO" for the huge page refcount upper limit problems, and added notes about how it works now. Also added a note about the dump_page() enhancements. * Added some comments in gup.c and mm.h, to explain that there are two ways to count pinned pages: exact (for compound pages of order > 1) and fuzzy (GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS: for all other pages). ============================================================ General notes about the tracking patch: This is a prerequisite to solving the problem of proper interactions between file-backed pages, and [R]DMA activities, as discussed in [1], [2], [3], [4] and in a remarkable number of email threads since about 2017. :) In contrast to earlier approaches, the page tracking can be incrementally applied to the kernel call sites that, until now, have been simply calling get_user_pages() ("gup"). In other words, opt-in by changing from this: get_user_pages() (sets FOLL_GET) put_page() to this: pin_user_pages() (sets FOLL_PIN) unpin_user_page() ============================================================ Future steps: * Convert more subsystems from get_user_pages() to pin_user_pages(). The first probably needs to be bio/biovecs, because any filesystem testing is too difficult without those in place. * Change VFS and filesystems to respond appropriately when encountering dma-pinned pages. * Work with Ira and others to connect this all up with file system leases.

Split up get_user_pages_remote() into an outer routine that checks flags, and an implementation routine that will be reused. This makes subsequent changes much easier to understand. There should be no change in behavior due to this patch. Signed-off-by: -

- These were never called PCG flags; they've been called FGP flags since their introduction in 2014. - The FGP_FOR_MMAP flag was misleadingly documented as if it was an alternative to FGP_CREAT instead of an option to it. - Rename the 'offset' parameter to 'index'. - Capitalisation, formatting, rewording.

This isn't just a random struct page, it's known to be a head page, and calling it head makes the function better self-documenting. The pgoff_t is less confusing if it's named index instead of offset. Also add a couple of comments to explain why we're doing various things. Signed-off-by:

Mount failure issue happens under the scenario: Application forked dozens of threads to mount the same number of cramfs images separately in docker, but several mounts failed with high probability. Mount failed due to the checking result of the page(read from the superblock of loop dev) is not uptodate after wait_on_page_locked(page) returned in function cramfs_read: wait_on_page_locked(page); if (!PageUptodate(page)) { ... } The reason of the checking result of the page not uptodate: systemd-udevd read the loopX dev before mount, because the status of loopX is Lo_unbound at this time, so loop_make_request directly trigger the calling of io_end handler end_buffer_async_read, which called SetPageError(page). So It caused the page can't be set to uptodate in function end_buffer_async_read: if(page_uptodate && !PageError(page)) { SetPageUptodate(page); } Then mount operation is performed, it used the same page which is just accessed by systemd-udevd above, Because this page is not uptodate, it will launch a actual read via submit_bh, then wait on this page by calling wait_on_page_locked(page). When the I/O of the page done, io_end handler end_buffer_async_read is called, because no one cleared the page error(during the whole read path of mount), which is caused by systemd-udevd reading, so this page is still in "PageError" status, which can't be set to uptodate in function end_buffer_async_read, then caused mount failure. But sometimes mount succeed even through systemd-udeved read loopX dev just before, The reason is systemd-udevd launched other loopX read just between step 3.1 and 3.2, the steps as below: 1, loopX dev default status is Lo_unbound; 2, systemd-udved read loopX dev (page is set to PageError); 3, mount operation 1) set loopX status to Lo_bound; ==>systemd-udevd read loopX dev<== 2) read loopX dev(page has no error) 3) mount succeed As the loopX dev status is set to Lo_bound after step 3.1, so the other loopX dev read by systemd-udevd will go through the whole I/O stack, part of the call trace as below: SYS_read vfs_read do_sync_read blkdev_aio_read generic_file_aio_read do_generic_file_read: ClearPageError(page); mapping->a_ops->readpage(filp, page); here, mapping->a_ops->readpage() is blkdev_readpage. In latest kernel, some function name changed, the call trace as below: blkdev_read_iter generic_file_read_iter generic_file_buffered_read: /* * A previous I/O error may have been due to temporary * failures, eg. mutipath errors. * Pg_error will be set again if readpage fails. */ ClearPageError(page); /* Start the actual read. The read will unlock the page*/ error=mapping->a_ops->readpage(flip, page); We can see ClearPageError(page) is called before the actual read, then the read in step 3.2 succeed. This patch is to add the calling of ClearPageError just before the actual read of read path of cramfs mount. Without the patch, the call trace as below when performing cramfs mount: do_mount cramfs_read cramfs_blkdev_read read_cache_page do_read_cache_page: filler(data, page); or mapping->a_ops->readpage(data, page); With the patch, the call trace as below when performing mount: do_mount cramfs_read cramfs_blkdev_read read_cache_page: do_read_cache_page: ClearPageError(page); <== new add filler(data, page); or mapping->a_ops->readpage(data, page); With the patch, mount operation trigger the calling of ClearPageError(page) before the actual read, the page has no error if no additional page error happen when I/O done.

There used to be a 'retry' label in between the two (identical) checks when first introduced in commit f446daae ("mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging"), and later modified/updated in commit 6e6938b6 ("writeback: introduce .tagged_writepages for the WB_SYNC_NONE sync stage"). The label has been removed in commit 64081362 ("mm/page-writeback.c: fix range_cyclic writeback vs writepages deadlock"), and the (identical) checks are now present / performed immediately one after another. So, remove/deduplicate the latter check, moving tag_pages_for_writeback() into the former check before the 'tag' variable assignment, so it's clear that it's not used in this (similarly-named) function call but only later in pagevec_lookup_range_tag().

When handling a page fault, we drop mmap_sem to start async readahead so that we don't block on IO submission with mmap_sem held. However there's no point to drop mmap_sem in case readahead is disabled. Handle that case to avoid pointless dropping of mmap_sem and retrying the fault. This was actually reported to block mlockall(MCL_CURRENT) indefinitely. Fixes: 6b4c9f44 ("filemap: drop the mmap_sem for all blocking operations") Reported-by:

Kmemleak could scan task stacks while plain writes happens to those stack variables which could results in data races. For example, in sys_rt_sigaction and do_sigaction(), it could have plain writes in a 32-byte size. Since the kmemleak does not care about the actual values of a non-pointer and all do_sigaction() call sites only copy to stack variables, just disable KCSAN for kmemleak to avoid annotating anything outside Kmemleak just because Kmemleak scans everything.
