Patch series "hugetlb: Disable huge pmd unshare for uffd-wp", v4. This series tries to disable huge pmd unshare of hugetlbfs backed memory for uffd-wp. Although uffd-wp of hugetlbfs is still during rfc stage, the idea of this series may be needed for multiple tasks (Axel's uffd minor fault series, and Mike's soft dirty series), so I picked it out from the larger series. This patch (of 4): It is a preparation work to be able to behave differently in the per architecture huge_pte_alloc() according to different VMA attributes. Pass it deeper into huge_pmd_share() so that we can avoid the find_vma() call.

clear_inode()'s BUG_ON(!mapping_empty(&inode->i_data)) is unsafe: we know of two ways in which nodes can and do (on rare occasions) get left behind. Until those are fixed, do not BUG_ON() nor even WARN_ON(). Yes, this will then leak those nodes (or the next user of the struct inode may use them); but this has been happening for years, and the new BUG_ON(!mapping_empty) was only guilty of revealing that. A proper fix will follow, but no hurry. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LSU.2.11.2104292229380.16080@eggly.anvilsSigned-off-by:

Patch series "Remove nrexceptional tracking", v2. We actually use nrexceptional for very little these days. It's a minor pain to keep in sync with nrpages, but the pain becomes much bigger with the THP patches because we don't know how many indices a shadow entry occupies. It's easier to just remove it than keep it accurate. Also, we save 8 bytes per inode which is nothing to sneeze at; on my laptop, it would improve shmem_inode_cache from 22 to 23 objects per 16kB, and inode_cache from 26 to 27 objects. Combined, that saves a megabyte of memory from a combined usage of 25MB for both caches. Unfortunately, ext4 doesn't cross a magic boundary, so it doesn't save any memory for ext4. This patch (of 4): Instead of checking the two counters (nrpages and nrexceptional), we can just check whether i_pages is empty.

On !ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC (like ia64) debug_pagealloc=1 implies page_poison=on: if (page_poisoning_enabled() || (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC) && debug_pagealloc_enabled())) static_branch_enable(&_page_poisoning_enabled); page_poison=on needs to override init_on_free=1. Before the change it did not work as expected for the following case: - have PAGE_POISONING=y - have page_poison unset - have !ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC arch (like ia64) - have init_on_free=1 - have debug_pagealloc=1 That way we get both keys enabled: - static_branch_enable(&init_on_free); - static_branch_enable(&_page_poisoning_enabled); which leads to poisoned pages returned for __GFP_ZERO pages.

There are cases where the page_pool need to refill with pages from the page allocator. Some workloads cause the page_pool to release pages instead of recycling these pages. For these workload it can improve performance to bulk alloc pages from the page-allocator to refill the alloc cache. For XDP-redirect workload with 100G mlx5 driver (that use page_pool) redirecting xdp_frame packets into a veth, that does XDP_PASS to create an SKB from the xdp_frame, which then cannot return the page to the page_pool.

Patch series "SUNRPC consumer for the bulk page allocator" This patch set and the measurements below are based on yesterday's bulk allocator series: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux.git mm-bulk-rebase-v5r9 The patches change SUNRPC to invoke the array-based bulk allocator instead of alloc_page(). The micro-benchmark results are promising. I ran a mixture of 256KB reads and writes over NFSv3. The server's kernel is built with KASAN enabled, so the comparison is exaggerated but I believe it is still valid. I instrumented svc_recv() to measure the latency of each call to svc_alloc_arg() and report it via a trace point. The following results are averages across the trace events. Single page: 25.007 us per call over 532,571 calls Bulk list: 6.258 us per call over 517,034 calls Bulk array: 4.590 us per call over 517,442 calls This patch (of 2) Refactor: I'm about to use the loop variable @i for something else. As far as the "i++" is concerned, that is a post-increment. The value of @i is not used subsequently, so the increment operator is unnecessary and can be removed. Also note that nfsd_read_actor() was renamed nfsd_splice_actor() by commit cf8208d0 ("sendfile: convert nfsd to splice_direct_to_actor()").

Looking at perf-report and ASM-code for __alloc_pages_bulk() it is clear that the code activated is suboptimal. The compiler guesses wrong and places unlikely code at the beginning. Due to the use of WARN_ON_ONCE() macro the UD2 asm instruction is added to the code, which confuse the I-cache prefetcher in the CPU.

The proposed callers for the bulk allocator store pages from the bulk allocator in an array. This patch adds an array-based interface to the API to avoid multiple list iterations.

This patch adds a new page allocator interface via alloc_pages_bulk, and __alloc_pages_bulk_nodemask. A caller requests a number of pages to be allocated and added to a list. The API is not guaranteed to return the requested number of pages and may fail if the preferred allocation zone has limited free memory, the cpuset changes during the allocation or page debugging decides to fail an allocation. It's up to the caller to request more pages in batch if necessary. Note that this implementation is not very efficient and could be improved but it would require refactoring. The intent is to make it available early to determine what semantics are required by different callers. Once the full semantics are nailed down, it can be refactored.

Patch series "Introduce a bulk order-0 page allocator with two in-tree users", v6. This series introduces a bulk order-0 page allocator with sunrpc and the network page pool being the first users. The implementation is not efficient as semantics needed to be ironed out first. If no other semantic changes are needed, it can be made more efficient. Despite that, this is a performance-related for users that require multiple pages for an operation without multiple round-trips to the page allocator. Quoting the last patch for the high-speed networking use-case Kernel XDP stats CPU pps Delta Baseline XDP-RX CPU total 3,771,046 n/a List XDP-RX CPU total 3,940,242 +4.49% Array XDP-RX CPU total 4,249,224 +12.68% Via the SUNRPC traces of svc_alloc_arg() Single page: 25.007 us per call over 532,571 calls Bulk list: 6.258 us per call over 517,034 calls Bulk array: 4.590 us per call over 517,442 calls Both potential users in this series are corner cases (NFS and high-speed networks) so it is unlikely that most users will see any benefit in the short term. Other potential other users are batch allocations for page cache readahead, fault around and SLUB allocations when high-order pages are unavailable. It's unknown how much benefit would be seen by converting multiple page allocation calls to a single batch or what difference it may make to headline performance. Light testing of my own running dbench over NFS passed. Chuck and Jesper conducted their own tests and details are included in the changelogs. Patch 1 renames a variable name that is particularly unpopular Patch 2 adds a bulk page allocator Patch 3 adds an array-based version of the bulk allocator Patches 4-5 adds micro-optimisations to the implementation Patches 6-7 SUNRPC user Patches 8-9 Network page_pool user This patch (of 9): Review feedback of the bulk allocator twice found problems with "alloced" being a counter for pages allocated. The naming was based on the API name "alloc" and was based on the idea that verbal communication about malloc tends to use the fake word "malloced" instead of the fake word mallocated. To be consistent, this preparation patch renames alloced to allocated in rmqueue_bulk so the bulk allocator and per-cpu allocator use similar names when the bulk allocator is introduced.

Currently, debugging CMA allocation failures is quite limited. The most common source of these failures seems to be page migration which doesn't provide any useful information on the reason of the failure by itself. alloc_contig_range can report those failures as it holds a list of migrate-failed pages. The information logged by dump_page() has already proven helpful for debugging allocation issues, like identifying long-term pinnings on ZONE_MOVABLE or MIGRATE_CMA. Let's use the dynamic debugging infrastructure, such that we avoid flooding the logs and creating a lot of noise on frequent alloc_contig_range() calls. This information is helpful for debugging only. There are two ifdefery conditions to support common dyndbg options: - CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE && DYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE It aims for supporting the feature with only specific file with adding ccflags. - CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG It aims for supporting the feature with system wide globally. A simple example to enable the feature: Admin could enable the dump like this(by default, disabled) echo "func alloc_contig_dump_pages +p" > control Admin could disable it. echo "func alloc_contig_dump_pages =_" > control Detail goes Documentation/admin-guide/dynamic-debug-howto.rst A concern is utility functions in dump_page use inconsistent loglevels. In the future, we might want to make the loglevels used inside dump_page() consistent and eventually rework the way we log the information here. See [1].

Patch series "Rationalise __alloc_pages wrappers", v3. I was poking around the __alloc_pages variants trying to understand why they each exist, and couldn't really find a good justification for keeping __alloc_pages and __alloc_pages_nodemask as separate functions. That led to getting rid of alloc_pages_current() and then I noticed the documentation was bad, and then I noticed the mempolicy documentation wasn't included. Anyway, this is all cleanups & doc fixes. This patch (of 7): We have two masks involved -- the nodemask and the gfp mask, so alloc_mask is an unclear name.

The information that some PFNs are busy is: a) not helpful for ordinary users: we don't even know *who* called alloc_contig_range(). This is certainly not worth a pr_info.*(). b) not really helpful for debugging: we don't have any details *why* these PFNs are busy, and that is what we usually care about. c) not complete: there are other cases where we fail alloc_contig_range() using different paths that are not getting recorded. For example, we reach this path once we succeeded in isolating pageblocks, but failed to migrate some pages - which can happen easily on ZONE_NORMAL (i.e., has_unmovable_pages() is racy) but also on ZONE_MOVABLE i.e., we would have to retry longer to migrate). For example via virtio-mem when unplugging memory, we can create quite some noise (especially with ZONE_NORMAL) that is not of interest to users - it's expected that some allocations may fail as memory is busy. Let's just drop that pr_info_ratelimit() and rather implement a dynamic debugging mechanism in the future that can give us a better reason why alloc_contig_range() failed on specific pages.

Currently, KASAN-KUnit tests can check that a particular annotated part of code causes a KASAN report. However, they do not check that no unwanted reports happen between the annotated parts. This patch implements these checks. It is done by setting report_data.report_found to false in kasan_test_init() and at the end of KUNIT_EXPECT_KASAN_FAIL() and then checking that it remains false at the beginning of KUNIT_EXPECT_KASAN_FAIL() and in kasan_test_exit(). kunit_add_named_resource() call is moved to kasan_test_init(), and the value of fail_data.report_expected is kept as false in between KUNIT_EXPECT_KASAN_FAIL() annotations for consistency.

Why record task_work_add() call stack? Syzbot reports many use-after-free issues for task_work, see [1]. After seeing the free stack and the current auxiliary stack, we think they are useless, we don't know where the work was registered. This work may be the free call stack, so we miss the root cause and don't solve the use-after-free. Add the task_work_add() call stack into the KASAN auxiliary stack in order to improve KASAN reports. It helps programmers solve use-after-free issues.
