The basic idea here is to "simulate" memory poisoning for VMs. A VM running on some host might encounter a memory error, after which some page(s) are poisoned (i.e., future accesses SIGBUS). They expect that once poisoned, pages can never become "un-poisoned". So, when we live migrate the VM, we need to preserve the poisoned status of these pages. When live migrating, we try to get the guest running on its new host as quickly as possible. So, we start it running before all memory has been copied, and before we're certain which pages should be poisoned or not. So the basic way to use this new feature is: - On the new host, the guest's memory is registered with userfaultfd, in either MISSING or MINOR mode (doesn't really matter for this purpose). - On any first access, we get a userfaultfd event. At this point we can communicate with the old host to find out if the page was poisoned. - If so, we can respond with a UFFDIO_POISON - this places a swap marker so any future accesses will SIGBUS. Because the pte is now "present", future accesses won't generate more userfaultfd events, they'll just SIGBUS directly. UFFDIO_POISON does not handle unmapping previously-present PTEs. This isn't needed, because during live migration we want to intercept all accesses with userfaultfd (not just writes, so WP mode isn't useful for this). So whether minor or missing mode is being used (or both), the PTE won't be present in any case, so handling that case isn't needed. Similarly, UFFDIO_POISON won't replace existing PTE markers. This might be okay to do, but it seems to be safer to just refuse to overwrite any existing entry (like a UFFD_WP PTE marker).

This code is already duplicated twice, and UFFDIO_POISON will do the same check a third time. So, it's worth extracting into a helper to save repetitive lines of code. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230707215540.2324998-4-axelrasmussen@google.comSigned-off-by:

Most userfaultfd ioctls take a `start + len` range as an argument. We have the validate_range helper to check that such ranges are valid. However, some (but not all!) ioctls *also* check that `start + len` doesn't wrap around (overflow). Just check for this in validate_range. This saves some repetitive code, and adds the check to some ioctls which weren't bothering to check for it before.

Patch series "add UFFDIO_POISON to simulate memory poisoning with UFFD", v4. This series adds a new userfaultfd feature, UFFDIO_POISON. See commit 4 for a detailed description of the feature. This patch (of 8): Future patches will reuse PTE_MARKER_SWAPIN_ERROR to implement UFFDIO_POISON, so make some various preparations for that: First, rename it to just PTE_MARKER_POISONED. The "SWAPIN" can be confusing since we're going to re-use it for something not really related to swap. This can be particularly confusing for things like hugetlbfs, which doesn't support swap whatsoever. Also rename some various helper functions. Next, fix pte marker copying for hugetlbfs. Previously, it would WARN on seeing a PTE_MARKER_SWAPIN_ERROR, since hugetlbfs doesn't support swap. But, since we're going to re-use it, we want it to go ahead and copy it just like non-hugetlbfs memory does today. Since the code to do this is more complicated now, pull it out into a helper which can be re-used in both places. While we're at it, also make it slightly more explicit in its handling of e.g. uffd wp markers. For non-hugetlbfs page faults, instead of returning VM_FAULT_SIGBUS for an error entry, return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON. For most cases this change doesn't matter, e.g. a userspace program would receive a SIGBUS either way. But for UFFDIO_POISON, this change will let KVM guests get an MCE out of the box, instead of giving a SIGBUS to the hypervisor and requiring it to somehow inject an MCE. Finally, for hugetlbfs faults, handle PTE_MARKER_POISONED, and return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON_LARGE in such cases. Note that this can't happen today because the lack of swap support means we'll never end up with such a PTE anyway, but this behavior will be needed once such entries *can* show up via UFFDIO_POISON.

MEM_CGROUP_ID_MAX is only used when CONFIG_MEMCG is configured. So remove unneeded !CONFIG_MEMCG variant. Also it's only used in mem_cgroup_alloc(), so move it from memcontrol.h to memcontrol.c. And further define it as: #define MEM_CGROUP_ID_MAX ((1UL << MEM_CGROUP_ID_SHIFT) - 1) so if someone changes MEM_CGROUP_ID_SHIFT in the future, then MEM_CGROUP_ID_MAX will be updated accordingly, as suggested by Muchun.

The local variable @page in __split_vmemmap_huge_pmd() to obtain a pmd page without holding page_table_lock may possiblely get the page table page instead of a huge pmd page. The effect may be in set_pte_at() since we may pass an invalid page struct, if set_pte_at() wants to access the page struct (e.g. CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK is enabled), it may crash the kernel. So fix it. And inline __split_vmemmap_huge_pmd() since it only has one user.

Just like commit 9721fd82 ("mm: compaction: skip memory hole rapidly when isolating migratable pages"), I can see it will also take more time to skip the larger memory hole (range: 0x1000000000 - 0x1800000000) when isolating free pages on my machine with below memory layout. So like commit 9721fd82, adding a new helper to skip the memory hole rapidly, which can reduce the time consumed from about 70us to less than 1us.

Fscache has an optimisation by which reads from the cache are skipped until we know that (a) there's data there to be read and (b) that data isn't entirely covered by pages resident in the netfs pagecache. This is done with two flags manipulated by fscache_note_page_release(): if (... test_bit(FSCACHE_COOKIE_HAVE_DATA, &cookie->flags) && test_bit(FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ, &cookie->flags)) clear_bit(FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ, &cookie->flags); where the NO_DATA_TO_READ flag causes cachefiles_prepare_read() to indicate that netfslib should download from the server or clear the page instead. The fscache_note_page_release() function is intended to be called from ->releasepage() - but that only gets called if PG_private or PG_private_2 is set - and currently the former is at the discretion of the network filesystem and the latter is only set whilst a page is being written to the cache, so sometimes we miss clearing the optimisation. Fix this by following Willy's suggestion[1] and adding an address_space flag, AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS, that causes filemap_release_folio() to always call ->release_folio() if it's set, even if PG_private or PG_private_2 aren't set. Note that this would require folio_test_private() and page_has_private() to become more complicated. To avoid that, in the places[*] where these are used to conditionalise calls to filemap_release_folio() and try_to_release_page(), the tests are removed the those functions just jumped to unconditionally and the test is performed there. [*] There are some exceptions in vmscan.c where the check guards more than just a call to the releaser. I've added a function, folio_needs_release() to wrap all the checks for that. AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS should be set if a non-NULL cookie is obtained from fscache and cleared in ->evict_inode() before truncate_inode_pages_final() is called. Additionally, the FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ flag needs to be cleared and the optimisation cancelled if a cachefiles object already contains data when we open it.

Patch series "mm, netfs, fscache: Stop read optimisation when folio removed from pagecache", v7. This fixes an optimisation in fscache whereby we don't read from the cache for a particular file until we know that there's data there that we don't have in the pagecache. The problem is that I'm no longer using PG_fscache (aka PG_private_2) to indicate that the page is cached and so I don't get a notification when a cached page is dropped from the pagecache. The first patch merges some folio_has_private() and filemap_release_folio() pairs and introduces a helper, folio_needs_release(), to indicate if a release is required. The second patch is the actual fix. Following Willy's suggestions[1], it adds an AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS flag to an address_space that will make filemap_release_folio() always call ->release_folio(), even if PG_private/PG_private_2 aren't set. folio_needs_release() is altered to add a check for this. This patch (of 2): Make filemap_release_folio() check folio_has_private(). Then, in most cases, where a call to folio_has_private() is immediately followed by a call to filemap_release_folio(), we can get rid of the test in the pair. There are a couple of sites in mm/vscan.c that this can't so easily be done. In shrink_folio_list(), there are actually three cases (something different is done for incompletely invalidated buffers), but filemap_release_folio() elides two of them. In shrink_active_list(), we don't have have the folio lock yet, so the check allows us to avoid locking the page unnecessarily. A wrapper function to check if a folio needs release is provided for those places that still need to do it in the mm/ directory. This will acquire additional parts to the condition in a future patch. After this, the only remaining caller of folio_has_private() outside of mm/ is a check in fuse.

kmem.limit_in_bytes (v1 way to limit kernel memory usage) has been deprecated since 58056f77 ("memcg, kmem: further deprecate kmem.limit_in_bytes") merged in 5.16. We haven't heard about any serious users since then but it seems that the mere presence of the file is causing more harm thatn good. We (SUSE) have had several bug reports from customers where Docker based containers started to fail because a write to kmem.limit_in_bytes has failed. This was unexpected because runc code only expects ENOENT (kmem disabled) or EBUSY (tasks already running within cgroup). So a new error code was unexpected and the whole container startup failed. This has been later addressed by https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/commit/52390d68040637dfc77f9fda6bbe70952423d380 so current Docker runtimes do not suffer from the problem anymore. There are still older version of Docker in use and likely hard to get rid of completely. Address this by wiping out the file completely and effectively get back to pre 4.5 era and CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=n configuration. I would recommend backporting to stable trees which have picked up 58056f77 ("memcg, kmem: further deprecate kmem.limit_in_bytes").

If pfn is outside zone boundaries in the first round, ret will be set to 1. But if pfn is changed to inside the zone boundaries in zone span seqretry path, ret is still set to 1 leading to false page outside zone error info. This is from code inspection. The race window should be really small thus hard to trigger in real world.

Add a function test_unmerge_zero_page() to test the functionality on unsharing and counting ksm-placed zero pages and counting of this patch series. test_unmerge_zero_page() actually contains four subjct test objects: (1) whether the count of ksm zero pages can update correctly after merging; (2) whether the count of ksm zero pages can update correctly after unmerging by madvise(...MADV_UNMERGEABLE); (3) whether the count of ksm zero pages can update correctly after unmerging by triggering write fault. (4) whether ksm zero pages are really unmerged. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230613030947.186089-1-yang.yang29@zte.com.cnSigned-off-by:xu xin <xu.xin16@zte.com.cn> Acked-by:

As the number of ksm zero pages is not included in ksm_merging_pages per process when enabling use_zero_pages, it's unclear of how many actual pages are merged by KSM. To let users accurately estimate their memory demands when unsharing KSM zero-pages, it's necessary to show KSM zero- pages per process. In addition, it help users to know the actual KSM profit because KSM-placed zero pages are also benefit from KSM. since unsharing zero pages placed by KSM accurately is achieved, then tracking empty pages merging and unmerging is not a difficult thing any longer. Since we already have /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat, just add the information of 'ksm_zero_pages' in it. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230613030938.185993-1-yang.yang29@zte.com.cnSigned-off-by:

As pages_sharing and pages_shared don't include the number of zero pages merged by KSM, we cannot know how many pages are zero pages placed by KSM when enabling use_zero_pages, which leads to KSM not being transparent with all actual merged pages by KSM. In the early days of use_zero_pages, zero-pages was unable to get unshared by the ways like MADV_UNMERGEABLE so it's hard to count how many times one of those zeropages was then unmerged. But now, unsharing KSM-placed zero page accurately has been achieved, so we can easily count both how many times a page full of zeroes was merged with zero-page and how many times one of those pages was then unmerged. and so, it helps to estimate memory demands when each and every shared page could get unshared. So we add ksm_zero_pages under /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/ to show the number of all zero pages placed by KSM. Meanwhile, we update the Documentation.

Patch series "ksm: support tracking KSM-placed zero-pages", v10. The core idea of this patch set is to enable users to perceive the number of any pages merged by KSM, regardless of whether use_zero_page switch has been turned on, so that users can know how much free memory increase is really due to their madvise(MERGEABLE) actions. But the problem is, when enabling use_zero_pages, all empty pages will be merged with kernel zero pages instead of with each other as use_zero_pages is disabled, and then these zero-pages are no longer monitored by KSM. The motivations to do this is seen at: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/202302100915227721315@zte.com.cn/ In one word, we hope to implement the support for KSM-placed zero pages tracking without affecting the feature of use_zero_pages, so that app developer can also benefit from knowing the actual KSM profit by getting KSM-placed zero pages to optimize applications eventually when /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/use_zero_pages is enabled. This patch (of 5): When use_zero_pages of ksm is enabled, madvise(addr, len, MADV_UNMERGEABLE) and other ways (like write 2 to /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run) to trigger unsharing will *not* actually unshare the shared zeropage as placed by KSM (which is against the MADV_UNMERGEABLE documentation). As these KSM-placed zero pages are out of the control of KSM, the related counts of ksm pages don't expose how many zero pages are placed by KSM (these special zero pages are different from those initially mapped zero pages, because the zero pages mapped to MADV_UNMERGEABLE areas are expected to be a complete and unshared page). To not blindly unshare all shared zero_pages in applicable VMAs, the patch use pte_mkdirty (related with architecture) to mark KSM-placed zero pages. Thus, MADV_UNMERGEABLE will only unshare those KSM-placed zero pages. In addition, we'll reuse this mechanism to reliably identify KSM-placed ZeroPages to properly account for them (e.g., calculating the KSM profit that includes zeropages) in the latter patches. The patch will not degrade the performance of use_zero_pages as it doesn't change the way of merging empty pages in use_zero_pages's feature.

Patch series "selftests: cgroup: add zswap test program". This series adds 2 zswap related selftests that verify known and fixed issues. A new dedicated test program (test_zswap) is proposed since the test cases are specific to zswap and hosts specific helpers. The first patch adds the (empty) test program, while the other 2 add an actual test function each. This patch (of 3): Add empty cgroup-zswap self test scaffold program, test functions to be added in the next commits.

__build_all_zonelists() acquires zonelist_update_seq by first disabling interrupts via local_irq_save() and then acquiring the seqlock with write_seqlock(). This is troublesome and leads to problems on PREEMPT_RT. The problem is that the inner spinlock_t becomes a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT and must not be acquired with disabled interrupts. The API provides write_seqlock_irqsave() which does the right thing in one step. printk_deferred_enter() has to be invoked in non-migrate-able context to ensure that deferred printing is enabled and disabled on the same CPU. This is the case after zonelist_update_seq has been acquired. There was discussion on the first submission that the order should be: local_irq_disable(); printk_deferred_enter(); write_seqlock(); to avoid pitfalls like having an unaccounted printk() coming from write_seqlock_irqsave() before printk_deferred_enter() is invoked. The only origin of such a printk() can be a lockdep splat because the lockdep annotation happens after the sequence count is incremented. This is exceptional and subject to change. It was also pointed that PREEMPT_RT can be affected by the printk problem since its write_seqlock_irqsave() does not really disable interrupts. This isn't the case because PREEMPT_RT's printk implementation differs from the mainline implementation in two important aspects: - Printing happens in a dedicated threads and not at during the invocation of printk(). - In emergency cases where synchronous printing is used, a different driver is used which does not use tty_port::lock. Acquire zonelist_update_seq with write_seqlock_irqsave() and then defer printk output.
