      mm/mglru: reclaim offlined memcgs harder · 4376807b
      Yu Zhao authored 
      In the effort to reduce zombie memcgs [1], it was discovered that the
memcg LRU doesn't apply enough pressure on offlined memcgs.  Specifically,
instead of rotating them to the tail of the current generation
(MEMCG_LRU_TAIL) for a second attempt, it moves them to the next
generation (MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG) after the first attempt.

Not applying enough pressure on offlined memcgs can cause them to build
up, and this can be particularly harmful to memory-constrained systems.

      mm/mglru: respect min_ttl_ms with memcgs · 8aa42061
      Yu Zhao authored 
      While investigating kswapd "consuming 100% CPU" [1] (also see "mm/mglru:
try to stop at high watermarks"), it was discovered that the memcg LRU can
breach the thrashing protection imposed by min_ttl_ms.

Before the memcg LRU:
  kswapd()
    shrink_node_memcgs()
      mem_cgroup_iter()
        inc_max_seq()  // always hit a different memcg
    lru_gen_age_node()
      mem_cgroup_iter()
        check the timestamp of the oldest generation

After the memcg LRU:
  kswapd()
    shrink_many()
      restart:
        iterate the memcg LRU:
          inc_max_seq()  // occasionally hit the same memcg
          if raced with lru_gen_rotate_memcg():
            goto restart
    lru_gen_age_node()
      mem_cgroup_iter()
        check the timestamp of the oldest generation

Specifically, when the restart happens in shrink_many(), it needs to stick
with the (memcg LRU) generation it began with.  In other words, it should
neither re-read memcg_lru->seq nor age an lruvec of a different
generation.  Otherwise it can hit the same memcg multiple times without
giving lru_gen_age_node() a chance to check the timestamp of that memcg's
oldest generation (against min_ttl_ms).

      mm/mglru: try to stop at high watermarks · 5095a2b2
      Yu Zhao authored 
      The initial MGLRU patchset didn't include the memcg LRU support, and it
relied on should_abort_scan(), added by commit f76c8337 ("mm:
multi-gen LRU: optimize multiple memcgs"), to "backoff to avoid
overshooting their aggregate reclaim target by too much".

Later on when the memcg LRU was added, should_abort_scan() was deemed
unnecessary, and the test results [1] showed no side effects after it was
removed by commit a579086c ("mm: multi-gen LRU: remove eviction
fairness safeguard").

However, that test used memory.reclaim, which sets nr_to_reclaim to
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX.  So it can overshoot only by SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX-1 pages,
i.e., from nr_reclaimed=nr_to_reclaim-1 to
nr_reclaimed=nr_to_reclaim+SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX-1.  Compared with the batch
size kswapd sets to nr_to_reclaim, SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX is tiny.  Therefore
that test isn't able to reproduce the worst case scenario, i.e., kswapd
overshooting GBs on large systems and "consuming 100% CPU" (see the Closes
tag).

Bring back a simplified version of should_abort_scan() on top of the memcg
LRU, so that kswapd stops when all eligible zones are above their
respective high watermarks plus a small delta to lower the chance of
KSWAPD_HIGH_WMARK_HIT_QUICKLY.  Note that this only applies to order-0
reclaim, meaning compaction-induced reclaim can still run wild (which is a
different problem).

      mm/mglru: fix underprotected page cache · 08148805
      Yu Zhao authored 
      Unmapped folios accessed through file descriptors can be underprotected. 
Those folios are added to the oldest generation based on:

1. The fact that they are less costly to reclaim (no need to walk the
   rmap and flush the TLB) and have less impact on performance (don't
   cause major PFs and can be non-blocking if needed again).
2. The observation that they are likely to be single-use. E.g., for
   client use cases like Android, its apps parse configuration files
   and store the data in heap (anon); for server use cases like MySQL,
   it reads from InnoDB files and holds the cached data for tables in
   buffer pools (anon).

However, the oldest generation can be very short lived, and if so, it
doesn't provide the PID controller with enough time to respond to a surge
of refaults.  (Note that the PID controller uses weighted refaults and
those from evicted generations only take a half of the whole weight.) In
other words, for a short lived generation, the moving average smooths out
the spike quickly.

To fix the problem:
1. For folios that are already on LRU, if they can be beyond the
   tracking range of tiers, i.e., five accesses through file
   descriptors, move them to the second oldest generation to give them
   more time to age. (Note that tiers are used by the PID controller
   to statistically determine whether folios accessed multiple times
   through file descriptors are worth protecting.)
2. When adding unmapped folios to LRU, adjust the placement of them so
   that they are not too close to the tail. The effect of this is
   similar to the above.

      David Stevens authored 
      Split folios during the second loop of shmem_undo_range.  It's not
sufficient to only split folios when dealing with partial pages, since
it's possible for a THP to be faulted in after that point.  Calling
truncate_inode_folio in that situation can result in throwing away data
outside of the range being targeted.

      John Hubbard authored 
      This reverts commit 9fc96c7c ("selftests: error out if kernel header
files are not yet built").

It turns out that requiring the kernel headers to be built as a
prerequisite to building selftests, does not work in many cases. For
example, Peter Zijlstra writes:

"My biggest beef with the whole thing is that I simply do not want to use
'make headers', it doesn't work for me.

I have a ton of output directories and I don't care to build tools into
the output dirs, in fact some of them flat out refuse to work that way
(bpf comes to mind)." [1]

Therefore, stop erroring out on the selftests build. Additional patches
will be required in order to change over to not requiring the kernel
headers.

      crash_core: fix the check for whether crashkernel is from high memory · 1dd11e97
      Yuntao Wang authored 
      If crash_base is equal to CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX, it also indicates that
the crashkernel memory is allocated from high memory. However, the
current check only considers the case where crash_base is greater than
CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX. Fix it.

The runtime effects is that crashkernel high memory is successfully
reserved, whereas the crashkernel low memory is bypassed in this case,
then kdump kernel bootup will fail because of no low memory under 4G.

This patch also includes some minor cleanups.

As a result, the cleanup can be skipped if damon_stop() is called fast

of ->kdamond could cause a use-after-free.

Fix it by waiting for start of kdamond_fn() execution from

      mm: fix VMA heap bounds checking · d3bb89ea
      Kefeng Wang authored 
      After converting selinux to VMA heap check helper, the gcl triggers an
execheap SELinux denial, which is caused by a changed logic check.

Previously selinux only checked that the VMA range was within the VMA heap
range, and the implementation checks the intersection between the two
ranges, but the corner case (vm_end=start_brk, brk=vm_start) isn't handled
correctly.

Since commit 11250fd1 ("mm: factor out VMA stack and heap checks") was
only a function extraction, it seems that the issue was introduced by
commit 0db0c01b ("procfs: fix /proc/<pid>/maps heap check").  Let's
fix above corner cases, meanwhile, correct the wrong indentation of the
stack and heap check helpers.

      kexec: drop dependency on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC from CRASH_DUMP · c41bd251
      Ignat Korchagin authored 
      In commit f8ff23429c62 ("kernel/Kconfig.kexec: drop select of KEXEC for
CRASH_DUMP") we tried to fix a config regression, where CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
required CONFIG_KEXEC.

However, it was not enough at least for arm64 platforms.  While further
testing the patch with our arm64 config I noticed that CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
is unavailable in menuconfig.  This is because CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP still
depends on the new CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC introduced in commit
91506f7e ("arm64/kexec: refactor for kernel/Kconfig.kexec") and on
arm64 CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC requires CONFIG_PM_SLEEP_SMP=y, which in
turn requires either CONFIG_SUSPEND=y or CONFIG_HIBERNATION=y neither of
which are set in our config.

Given that we already established that CONFIG_KEXEC (which is a switch for
kexec system call itself) is not required for CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP drop
CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC dependency as well.  The arm64 kernel builds
just fine with CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y and with both CONFIG_KEXEC=n and
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=n after f8ff23429c62 ("kernel/Kconfig.kexec: drop select
of KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP") and this patch are applied given that the
necessary shared bits are included via CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE dependency.

      mm/madvise: add cond_resched() in madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() · b2f557a2
      Jiexun Wang authored 
      I conducted real-time testing and observed that
madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() causes significant latency under
memory pressure, which can be effectively reduced by adding cond_resched()
within the loop.

I tested on the LicheePi 4A board using Cylictest for latency testing and
Ftrace for latency tracing.  The board uses TH1520 processor and has a
memory size of 8GB.  The kernel version is 6.5.0 with the PREEMPT_RT patch
applied.

The script I tested is as follows:

echo wakeup_rt > /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_max_latency
stress-ng --vm 8 --vm-bytes 2G &
cyclictest --mlockall --smp --priority=99 --distance=0 --duration=30m
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on
cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace 

The tracing results before modification are as follows:

After the modification, the cause of maximum latency is no longer
madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range(), so this modification can reduce the
latency caused by madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range().


Currently the madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() function exhibits
significant latency under memory pressure, which can be effectively
reduced by adding cond_resched() within the loop.

When the batch_count reaches SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, we reschedule
the task to ensure fairness and avoid long lock holding times.

      nilfs2: prevent WARNING in nilfs_sufile_set_segment_usage() · 675abf8d
      Ryusuke Konishi authored 
      If nilfs2 reads a disk image with corrupted segment usage metadata, and
its segment usage information is marked as an error for the segment at the
write location, nilfs_sufile_set_segment_usage() can trigger WARN_ONs
during log writing.

Segments newly allocated for writing with nilfs_sufile_alloc() will not
have this error flag set, but this unexpected situation will occur if the
segment indexed by either nilfs->ns_segnum or nilfs->ns_nextnum (active
segment) was marked in error.

Fix this issue by inserting a sanity check to treat it as a file system
corruption.

Since error returns are not allowed during the execution phase where
nilfs_sufile_set_segment_usage() is used, this inserts the sanity check
into nilfs_sufile_mark_dirty() which pre-reads the buffer containing the
segment usage record to be updated and sets it up in a dirty state for
writing.

In addition, nilfs_sufile_set_segment_usage() is also called when
canceling log writing and undoing segment usage update, so in order to
avoid issuing the same kernel warning in that case, in case of
cancellation, avoid checking the error flag in
nilfs_sufile_set_segment_usage().

This overloads the system logger.  And to make matters worse, it sometimes
crashes the kernel with a memory access violation.

This is because the return value of the sb_set_blocksize() call, which
should be checked for errors, is not checked.

The latter issue is due to out-of-buffer memory being accessed based on a
large block size that caused sb_set_blocksize() to fail for buffers read
with the initial minimum block size that remained unupdated in the
super_block structure.

Since nilfs2 mkfs tool does not accept block sizes larger than the system
page size, this has been overlooked.  However, it is possible to create
this situation by intentionally modifying the tool or by passing a
filesystem image created on a system with a large page size to a system
with a smaller page size and mounting it.

Fix this issue by inserting the expected error handling for the call to
sb_set_blocksize().

      kernel/Kconfig.kexec: drop select of KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP · dccf78d3
      Baoquan He authored 
      Ignat Korchagin complained that a potential config regression was
introduced by commit 89cde455 ("kexec: consolidate kexec and crash
options into kernel/Kconfig.kexec").  Before the commit, CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
has no dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC.  After the commit, CRASH_DUMP selects
KEXEC.  That enforces system to have CONFIG_KEXEC=y as long as
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=Y which people may not want.

In Ignat's case, he sets CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y, CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y and
CONFIG_KEXEC=n because kexec_load interface could have security issue if
kernel/initrd has no chance to be signed and verified.

CRASH_DUMP has select of KEXEC because Eric, author of above commit, met a
LKP report of build failure when posting patch of earlier version.  Please
see below link to get detail of the LKP report:

    https://lore.kernel.org/all/3e8eecd1-a277-2cfb-690e-5de2eb7b988e@oracle.com/T/#u

In fact, that LKP report is triggered because arm's <asm/kexec.h> is
wrapped in CONFIG_KEXEC ifdeffery scope.  That is wrong.  CONFIG_KEXEC
controls the enabling/disabling of kexec_load interface, but not kexec
feature.  Removing the wrongly added CONFIG_KEXEC ifdeffery scope in
<asm/kexec.h> of arm allows us to drop the select KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP. 
Meanwhile, change arch/arm/kernel/Makefile to let machine_kexec.o
relocate_kernel.o depend on KEXEC_CORE.
