There are only four callers remaining of find_get_entry(). get_shadow_from_swap_cache() only wants to see shadow entries and doesn't care about which page is returned. Push the find_subpage() call into find_lock_entry(), find_get_incore_page() and pagecache_get_page().

Patch series "Return head pages from find_*_entry", v2. This patch series started out as part of the THP patch set, but it has some nice effects along the way and it seems worth splitting it out and submitting separately. Currently find_get_entry() and find_lock_entry() return the page corresponding to the requested index, but the first thing most callers do is find the head page, which we just threw away. As part of auditing all the callers, I found some misuses of the APIs and some plain inefficiencies that I've fixed. The diffstat is unflattering, but I added more kernel-doc and a new wrapper. This patch (of 8); Provide this functionality from the swap cache. It's useful for more than just mincore(). Signed-off-by:

__dump_page() checks i_dentry is fetchable and i_ino is earlier in the struct than i_ino, so it ought to work fine, but it's possible that struct randomisation has reordered i_ino after i_dentry and the pointer is just wild enough that i_dentry is fetchable and i_ino isn't. Also print the inode number if the dentry is invalid. Reported-by:

Add a sysfs attribute which denotes a range from the dax region to be allocated. It's an write only @mapping sysfs attribute in the format of '<start>-<end>' to allocate a range. @start and @end use hexadecimal values and the @pgoff is implicitly ordered wrt to previous writes to @mapping sysfs e.g. a write of a range of length 1G the pgoff is 0..1G(-4K), a second write will use @pgoff for 1G+4K..<size>. This range mapping interface is useful for: 1) Application which want to implement its own allocation logic, and thus pick the desired ranges from dax_region. 2) For use cases like VMM fast restart[0] where after kexec we want to the same gpa<->phys mappings (as originally created before kexec).

Introduce a device align attribute. While doing so, rename the region align attribute to be more explicitly named as so, but keep it named as @align to retain the API for tools like daxctl. Changes on align may not always be valid, when say certain mappings were created with 2M and then we switch to 1G. So, we validate all ranges against the new value being attempted, post resizing.

In support of interrogating the physical address layout of a device with dis-contiguous ranges, introduce a sysfs directory with 'start', 'end', and 'page_offset' attributes. The alternative is trying to parse /proc/iomem, and that file will not reflect the extent layout until the device is enabled. Signed-off-by:

Break the requirement that device-dax instances are physically contiguous. With this constraint removed it allows fragmented available capacity to be fully allocated. This capability is useful to mitigate the "noisy neighbor" problem with memory-side-cache management for virtual machines, or any other scenario where a platform address boundary also designates a performance boundary. For example a direct mapped memory side cache might rotate cache colors at 1GB boundaries. With dis-contiguous allocations a device-dax instance could be configured to contain only 1 cache color. It also satisfies Joao's use case (see link) for partitioning memory for exclusive guest access. It allows for a future potential mode where the host kernel need not allocate 'struct page' capacity up-front. Reported-by:

The 'struct resource' in 'struct dev_pagemap' is only used for holding resource span information. The other fields, 'name', 'flags', 'desc', 'parent', 'sibling', and 'child' are all unused wasted space. This is in preparation for introducing a multi-range extension of devm_memremap_pages(). The bulk of this change is unwinding all the places internal to libnvdimm that used 'struct resource' unnecessarily, and replacing instances of 'struct dev_pagemap'.res with 'struct dev_pagemap'.range. P2PDMA had a minor usage of the resource flags field, but only to report failures with "%pR". That is replaced with an open coded print of the range.

Make the device-dax 'size' attribute writable to allow capacity to be split between multiple instances in a region. The intended consumers of this capability are users that want to split a scarce memory resource between device-dax and System-RAM access, or users that want to have multiple security domains for a large region. By default the hmem instance provider allocates an entire region to the first instance. The process of creating a new instance (assuming a region-id of 0) is find the region and trigger the 'create' attribute which yields an empty instance to configure. For example: cd /sys/bus/dax/devices echo dax0.0 > dax0.0/driver/unbind echo $new_size > dax0.0/size echo 1 > $(readlink -f dax0.0)../dax_region/create seed=$(cat $(readlink -f dax0.0)../dax_region/seed) echo $new_size > $seed/size echo dax0.0 > ../drivers/{device_dax,kmem}/bind echo dax0.1 > ../drivers/{device_dax,kmem}/bind Instances can be destroyed by: echo $device > $(readlink -f $device)../dax_region/delete Signed-off-by: -

Add a seed device concept for dynamic dax regions to be able to split the region amongst multiple sub-instances. The seed device, similar to libnvdimm seed devices, is a device that starts with zero capacity allocated and unbound to a driver. In contrast to libnvdimm seed devices explicit 'create' and 'delete' interfaces are added to the region to trigger seeds to be created and unused devices to be reclaimed. The explicit create and delete replaces implicit create as a side effect of probe and implicit delete when writing 0 to the size that libnvdimm implements. Delete can be performed on any 0-sized and idle device. This avoids the gymnastics of needing to move device_unregister() to its own async context. Specifically, it avoids the deadlock of deleting a device via one of its own attributes. It is also less surprising to userspace which never sees an extra device it did not request. For now just add the device creation, teardown, and ->probe() prevention. A later patch will arrange for the 'dax/size' attribute to be writable to allocate capacity from the region. Signed-off-by:

The hmem enabling in commit cf8741ac ("ACPI: NUMA: HMAT: Register "soft reserved" memory as an "hmem" device") only registered ranges to the hmem driver for each soft-reservation that also appeared in the HMAT. While this is meant to encourage platform firmware to "do the right thing" and publish an HMAT, the corollary is that platforms that fail to publish an accurate HMAT will strand memory from Linux usage. Additionally, the "efi_fake_mem" kernel command line option enabling will strand memory by default without an HMAT. Arrange for "soft reserved" memory that goes unclaimed by HMAT entries to be published as raw resource ranges for the hmem driver to consume. Include a module parameter to disable either this fallback behavior, or the hmat enabling from creating hmem devices. The module parameter requires the hmem device enabling to have unique name in the module namespace: "device_hmem". The driver depends on the architecture providing phys_to_target_node() which is only x86 via numa_meminfo() and arm64 via a generic memblock implementation.

In preparation to set a fallback value for dev_dax->target_node, introduce generic fallback helpers for phys_to_target_node() A generic implementation based on node-data or memblock was proposed, but as noted by Mike: "Here again, I would prefer to add a weak default for phys_to_target_node() because the "generic" implementation is not really generic. The fallback to reserved ranges is x86 specfic because on x86 most of the reserved areas is not in memblock.memory. AFAIK, no other architecture does this." The info message in the generic memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() implementation is fixed up to properly reflect that memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() communicates "online" node info and phys_to_target_node() indicates "target / to-be-onlined" node info.

In support of detecting whether a resource might have been been claimed, report the parent to the walk_iomem_res_desc() callback. For example, the ACPI HMAT parser publishes "hmem" platform devices per target range. However, if the HMAT is disabled / missing a fallback driver can attach devices to the raw memory ranges as a fallback if it sees unclaimed / orphan "Soft Reserved" resources in the resource tree. Otherwise, find_next_iomem_res() returns a resource with garbage data from the stack allocation in __walk_iomem_res_desc() for the res->parent field. There are currently no users that expect ->child and ->sibling to be valid, and the resource_lock would be needed to traverse them. Use a compound literal to implicitly zero initialize the fields that are not being returned in addition to setting ->parent. Signed-off-by:

In preparation for exposing "Soft Reserved" memory ranges without an HMAT, move the hmem device registration to its own compilation unit and make the implementation generic. The generic implementation drops usage acpi_map_pxm_to_online_node() that was translating ACPI proximity domain values and instead relies on numa_map_to_online_node() to determine the numa node for the device.

Patch series "device-dax: Support sub-dividing soft-reserved ranges", v5. The device-dax facility allows an address range to be directly mapped through a chardev, or optionally hotplugged to the core kernel page allocator as System-RAM. It is the mechanism for converting persistent memory (pmem) to be used as another volatile memory pool i.e. the current Memory Tiering hot topic on linux-mm. In the case of pmem the nvdimm-namespace-label mechanism can sub-divide it, but that labeling mechanism is not available / applicable to soft-reserved ("EFI specific purpose") memory [3]. This series provides a sysfs-mechanism for the daxctl utility to enable provisioning of volatile-soft-reserved memory ranges. The motivations for this facility are: 1/ Allow performance differentiated memory ranges to be split between kernel-managed and directly-accessed use cases. 2/ Allow physical memory to be provisioned along performance relevant address boundaries. For example, divide a memory-side cache [4] along cache-color boundaries. 3/ Parcel out soft-reserved memory to VMs using device-dax as a security / permissions boundary [5]. Specifically I have seen people (ab)using memmap=nn!ss (mark System-RAM as Persistent Memory) just to get the device-dax interface on custom address ranges. A follow-on for the VM use case is to teach device-dax to dynamically allocate 'struct page' at runtime to reduce the duplication of 'struct page' space in both the guest and the host kernel for the same physical pages.

kmemleak_scan() currently relies on the big tasklist_lock hammer to stabilize iterating through the tasklist. Instead, this patch proposes simply using rcu along with the rcu-safe for_each_process_thread flavor (without changing scan semantics), which doesn't make use of next_thread/p->thread_group and thus cannot race with exit. Furthermore, any races with fork() and not seeing the new child should be benign as it's not running yet and can also be detected by the next scan. Avoiding the tasklist_lock could prove beneficial for performance considering the scan operation is done periodically. I have seen improvements of 30%-ish when doing similar replacements on very pathological microbenchmarks (ie stressing get/setpriority(2)). However my main motivation is that it's one less user of the global lock, something that Linus has long time wanted to see gone eventually (if ever) even if the traditional fairness issues has been dealt with now with qrwlocks. Of course this is a very long ways ahead. This patch also kills another user of the deprecated tsk->thread_group. Signed-off-by:
