kvmalloc warned about incompatible gfp_mask to catch abusers (mostly GFP_NOFS) with an intention that this will motivate authors of the code to fix those. Linus argues that this just motivates people to do even more hacks like if (gfp == GFP_KERNEL) kvmalloc else kmalloc I haven't seen this happening much (Linus pointed to bucket_lock special cases an atomic allocation but my git foo hasn't found much more) but it is true that we can grow those in future. Therefore Linus suggested to simply not fallback to vmalloc for incompatible gfp flags and rather stick with the kmalloc path.

When bit is equal to 0x4, it means OPT_ZONE_DMA32 should be got from GFP_ZONE_TABLE. OPT_ZONE_DMA32 shall be equal to ZONE_DMA32 or ZONE_NORMAL according to the status of CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32. Similarly, when bit is equal to 0xc, that means OPT_ZONE_DMA32 should be got with an allocation policy GFP_MOVABLE. So ZONE_DMA32 or ZONE_NORMAL is the possible result value.

shmem/tmpfs uses pseudo vma to allocate page with correct NUMA policy. The pseudo vma doesn't have vm_page_prot set. We are going to encode encryption KeyID in vm_page_prot. Having garbage there causes problems. Zero out all unused fields in the pseudo vma. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180531135602.20321-1-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.comSigned-off-by:

In __alloc_pages_slowpath() we reset zonelist and preferred_zoneref for allocations that can ignore memory policies. The zonelist is obtained from current CPU's node. This is a problem for __GFP_THISNODE allocations that want to allocate on a different node, e.g. because the allocating thread has been migrated to a different CPU. This has been observed to break SLAB in our 4.4-based kernel, because there it relies on __GFP_THISNODE working as intended. If a slab page is put on wrong node's list, then further list manipulations may corrupt the list because page_to_nid() is used to determine which node's list_lock should be locked and thus we may take a wrong lock and race. Current SLAB implementation seems to be immune by luck thanks to commit 511e3a05 ("mm/slab: make cache_grow() handle the page allocated on arbitrary node") but there may be others assuming that __GFP_THISNODE works as promised. We can fix it by simply removing the zonelist reset completely. There is actually no reason to reset it, because memory policies and cpusets don't affect the zonelist choice in the first place. This was different when commit 183f6371 ("mm: ignore mempolicies when using ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK") introduced the code, as mempolicies provided their own restricted zonelists. We might consider this for 4.17 although I don't know if there's anything currently broken. SLAB is currently not affected, but in kernels older than 4.7 that don't yet have 511e3a05 ("mm/slab: make cache_grow() handle the page allocated on arbitrary node") it is. That's at least 4.4 LTS. Older ones I'll have to check. So stable backports should be more important, but will have to be reviewed carefully, as the code went through many changes. BTW I think that also the ac->preferred_zoneref reset is currently useless if we don't also reset ac->nodemask from a mempolicy to NULL first (which we probably should for the OOM victims etc?), but I would leave that for a separate patch.

If a process monitored with userfaultfd changes it's memory mappings or forks() at the same time as uffd monitor fills the process memory with UFFDIO_COPY, the actual creation of page table entries and copying of the data in mcopy_atomic may happen either before of after the memory mapping modifications and there is no way for the uffd monitor to maintain consistent view of the process memory layout. For instance, let's consider fork() running in parallel with userfaultfd_copy(): process | uffd monitor ---------------------------------+------------------------------ fork() | userfaultfd_copy() ... | ... dup_mmap() | down_read(mmap_sem) down_write(mmap_sem) | /* create PTEs, copy data */ dup_uffd() | up_read(mmap_sem) copy_page_range() | up_write(mmap_sem) | dup_uffd_complete() | /* notify monitor */ | If the userfaultfd_copy() takes the mmap_sem first, the new page(s) will be present by the time copy_page_range() is called and they will appear in the child's memory mappings. However, if the fork() is the first to take the mmap_sem, the new pages won't be mapped in the child's address space. If the pages are not present and child tries to access them, the monitor will get page fault notification and everything is fine. However, if the pages *are present*, the child can access them without uffd noticing. And if we copy them into child it'll see the wrong data. Since we are talking about background copy, we'd need to decide whether the pages should be copied or not regardless #PF notifications. Since userfaultfd monitor has no way to determine what was the order, let's disallow userfaultfd_copy in parallel with the non-cooperative events. In such case we return -EAGAIN and the uffd monitor can understand that userfaultfd_copy() clashed with a non-cooperative event and take an appropriate action.

Currently an attempt to set swap.max into a value lower than the actual swap usage fails, which causes configuration problems as there's no way of lowering the configuration below the current usage short of turning off swap entirely. This makes swap.max difficult to use and allows delegatees to lock the delegator out of reducing swap allocation. This patch updates swap_max_write() so that the limit can be lowered below the current usage. It doesn't implement active reclaiming of swap entries for the following reasons. * mem_cgroup_swap_full() already tells the swap machinary to aggressively reclaim swap entries if the usage is above 50% of limit, so simply lowering the limit automatically triggers gradual reclaim. * Forcing back swapped out pages is likely to heavily impact the workload and mess up the working set. Given that swap usually is a lot less valuable and less scarce, letting the existing usage dissipate over time through the above gradual reclaim and as they're falted back in is likely the better behavior.

By moving page->private to the fourth word of struct page, we can put the SLUB counters in the same word as SLAB's s_mem and still do the cmpxchg_double trick. Now the SLUB counters no longer overlap with the mapcount or refcount so we can drop the call to page_mapcount_reset() and simplify set_page_slub_counters() to a single line.

Define a new PageTable bit in the page_type and use it to mark pages in use as page tables. This can be helpful when debugging crashdumps or analysing memory fragmentation. Add a KPF flag to report these pages to userspace and update page-types.c to interpret that flag. Note that only pages currently accounted as NR_PAGETABLES are tracked as PageTable; this does not include pgd/p4d/pud/pmd pages. Those will be the subject of a later patch.

We're already using a union of many fields here, so stop abusing the _mapcount and make page_type its own field. That implies renaming some of the machinery that creates PageBuddy, PageBalloon and PageKmemcg; bring back the PG_buddy, PG_balloon and PG_kmemcg names. As suggested by Kirill, make page_type a bitmask. Because it starts out life as -1 (thanks to sharing the storage with _mapcount), setting a page flag means clearing the appropriate bit. This gives us space for probably twenty or so extra bits (depending how paranoid we want to be about _mapcount underflow).

Patch series "Rearrange struct page", v6. As presented at LSFMM, this patch-set rearranges struct page to give more contiguous usable space to users who have allocated a struct page for their own purposes. For a graphical view of before-and-after, see the first two tabs of https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tvCszs_7FXrjei9_mtFiKV6nW1FLnYyvPvW-qNZhdog/edit?usp=sharing Highlights: - deferred_list now really exists in struct page instead of just a comment. - hmm_data also exists in struct page instead of being a nasty hack. - x86's PGD pages have a real pointer to the mm_struct. - VMalloc pages now have all sorts of extra information stored in them to help with debugging and tuning. - rcu_head is no longer tied to slab in case anyone else wants to free pages by RCU. - slub's counters no longer share space with _refcount. - slub's freelist+counters are now naturally dword aligned. - slub loses a parameter to a lot of functions and a sysfs file. This patch (of 17): s390 borrows the storage used for _mapcount in struct page in order to account whether the bottom or top half is being used for 2kB page tables. I want to use that for something else, so use the top byte of _refcount instead of the bottom byte of _mapcount. _refcount may temporarily be incremented by other CPUs that see a stale pointer to this page in the page cache, but each CPU can only increment it by one, and there are no systems with 2^24 CPUs today, so they will not change the upper byte of _refcount. We do have to be a little careful not to lose any of their writes (as they will subsequently decrement the counter).

This is to take better advantage of general huge page clearing optimization (commit c79b57e4: "mm: hugetlb: clear target sub-page last when clearing huge page") for hugetlbfs. In the general optimization patch, the sub-page to access will be cleared last to avoid the cache lines of to access sub-page to be evicted when clearing other sub-pages. This works better if we have the address of the sub-page to access, that is, the fault address inside the huge page. So the hugetlbfs no page fault handler is changed to pass that information. This will benefit workloads which don't access the begin of the hugetlbfs huge page after the page fault under heavy cache contention for shared last level cache. The patch is a generic optimization which should benefit quite some workloads, not for a specific use case. To demonstrate the performance benefit of the patch, we tested it with vm-scalability run on hugetlbfs. With this patch, the throughput increases ~28.1% in vm-scalability anon-w-seq test case with 88 processes on a 2 socket Xeon E5 2699 v4 system (44 cores, 88 threads). The test case creates 88 processes, each process mmaps a big anonymous memory area with MAP_HUGETLB and writes to it from the end to the begin. For each process, other processes could be seen as other workload which generates heavy cache pressure. At the same time, the cache miss rate reduced from ~36.3% to ~25.6%, the IPC (instruction per cycle) increased from 0.3 to 0.37, and the time spent in user space is reduced ~19.3%.

Memory controller implements the memory.low best-effort memory protection mechanism, which works perfectly in many cases and allows protecting working sets of important workloads from sudden reclaim. But its semantics has a significant limitation: it works only as long as there is a supply of reclaimable memory. This makes it pretty useless against any sort of slow memory leaks or memory usage increases. This is especially true for swapless systems. If swap is enabled, memory soft protection effectively postpones problems, allowing a leaking application to fill all swap area, which makes no sense. The only effective way to guarantee the memory protection in this case is to invoke the OOM killer. It's possible to handle this case in userspace by reacting on MEMCG_LOW events; but there is still a place for a fail-safe in-kernel mechanism to provide stronger guarantees. This patch introduces the memory.min interface for cgroup v2 memory controller. It works very similarly to memory.low (sharing the same hierarchical behavior), except that it's not disabled if there is no more reclaimable memory in the system. If cgroup is not populated, its memory.min is ignored, because otherwise even the OOM killer wouldn't be able to reclaim the protected memory, and the system can stall.

In commit ab676b7d ("pagemap: do not leak physical addresses to non-privileged userspace"), the /proc/PID/pagemap is restricted to be readable only by CAP_SYS_ADMIN to address some security issue. In commit 1c90308e ("pagemap: hide physical addresses from non-privileged users"), the restriction is relieved to make /proc/PID/pagemap readable, but hide the physical addresses for non-privileged users. But the swap entries are readable for non-privileged users too. This has some security issues. For example, for page under migrating, the swap entry has physical address information. So, in this patch, the swap entries are hided for non-privileged users too.
