GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8ff3 ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.
The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.
I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.
I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.
I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.
This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

fashion, to avoid a potential NULL deref. From Greg Thelen.
- Regression fix for dm-mq with blk-mq, fixing a problem with
stacking IO schedulers. From me.
- string.h fixup, fixing an issue with memcpy_and_pad(). This
original change came in through an NVMe dependency, which is why
I'm including it here. From Martin Wilck.

Using bpf_redirect_map is allowed for generic XDP programs, but the
appropriate map lookup was never performed in xdp_do_generic_redirect().
Instead the map-index is directly used as the ifindex. For the
xdp_redirect_map sample in SKB-mode '-S', this resulted in trying
sending on ifindex 0 which isn't valid, resulting in getting SKB
packets dropped. Thus, the reported performance numbers are wrong in
commit 24251c264798 ("samples/bpf: add option for native and skb mode
for redirect apps") for the 'xdp_redirect_map -S' case.
Before commit 109980b894e9 ("bpf: don't select potentially stale
ri->map from buggy xdp progs") it could crash the kernel. Like this
commit also check that the map_owner owner is correct before
dereferencing the map pointer. But make sure that this API misusage
can be caught by a tracepoint. Thus, allowing userspace via
tracepoints to detect misbehaving bpf_progs.

Introduce MADV_WIPEONFORK semantics, which result in a VMA being empty
in the child process after fork. This differs from MADV_DONTFORK in one
important way.
If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_WIPEONFORK, it will get
zeroes. The address ranges are still valid, they are just empty.
If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_DONTFORK, it will get a
segmentation fault, since those address ranges are no longer valid in
the child after fork.
Since MADV_DONTFORK also seems to be used to allow very large programs
to fork in systems with strict memory overcommit restrictions, changing
the semantics of MADV_DONTFORK might break existing programs.
MADV_WIPEONFORK only works on private, anonymous VMAs.
The use case is libraries that store or cache information, and want to
know that they need to regenerate it in the child process after fork.
Examples of this would be:
- systemd/pulseaudio API checks (fail after fork) (replacing a getpid
check, which is too slow without a PID cache)
- PKCS#11 API reinitialization check (mandated by specification)
- glibc's upcoming PRNG (reseed after fork)
- OpenSSL PRNG (reseed after fork)
The security benefits of a forking server having a re-inialized PRNG in
every child process are pretty obvious. However, due to libraries
having all kinds of internal state, and programs getting compiled with
many different versions of each library, it is unreasonable to expect
calling programs to re-initialize everything manually after fork.
A further complication is the proliferation of clone flags, programs
bypassing glibc's functions to call clone directly, and programs calling
unshare, causing the glibc pthread_atfork hook to not get called.
It would be better to have the kernel take care of this automatically.
The patch also adds MADV_KEEPONFORK, to undo the effects of a prior
MADV_WIPEONFORK.
This is similar to the OpenBSD minherit syscall with MAP_INHERIT_ZERO:

When servicing mmap() reads from file holes the current DAX code
allocates a page cache page of all zeroes and places the struct page
pointer in the mapping->page_tree radix tree.
This has three major drawbacks:
1) It consumes memory unnecessarily. For every 4k page that is read via
a DAX mmap() over a hole, we allocate a new page cache page. This
means that if you read 1GiB worth of pages, you end up using 1GiB of
zeroed memory. This is easily visible by looking at the overall
memory consumption of the system or by looking at /proc/[pid]/smaps:
7f62e72b3000-7f63272b3000 rw-s 00000000 103:00 12 /root/dax/data

Private_Hugetlb: 0 kB
Swap: 0 kB
SwapPss: 0 kB
KernelPageSize: 4 kB
MMUPageSize: 4 kB
Locked: 0 kB
2) It is slower than using a common zero page because each page fault
has more work to do. Instead of just inserting a common zero page we
have to allocate a page cache page, zero it, and then insert it. Here
are the average latencies of dax_load_hole() as measured by ftrace on
a random test box:
Old method, using zeroed page cache pages: 3.4 us
New method, using the common 4k zero page: 0.8 us
This was the average latency over 1 GiB of sequential reads done by
this simple fio script:
[global]
size=1G
filename=/root/dax/data
fallocate=none
[io]
rw=read
ioengine=mmap
3) The fact that we had to check for both DAX exceptional entries and
for page cache pages in the radix tree made the DAX code more
complex.
Solve these issues by following the lead of the DAX PMD code and using a
common 4k zero page instead. As with the PMD code we will now insert a
DAX exceptional entry into the radix tree instead of a struct page
pointer which allows us to remove all the special casing in the DAX
code.
Note that we do still pretty aggressively check for regular pages in the
DAX radix tree, especially where we take action based on the bits set in
the page. If we ever find a regular page in our radix tree now that
most likely means that someone besides DAX is inserting pages (which has
happened lots of times in the past), and we want to find that out early
and fail loudly.
This solution also removes the extra memory consumption. Here is that
same /proc/[pid]/smaps after 1GiB of reading from a hole with the new
code:
7f2054a74000-7f2094a74000 rw-s 00000000 103:00 12 /root/dax/data

Private_Hugetlb: 0 kB
Swap: 0 kB
SwapPss: 0 kB
KernelPageSize: 4 kB
MMUPageSize: 4 kB
Locked: 0 kB
Overall system memory consumption is similarly improved.
Another major change is that we remove dax_pfn_mkwrite() from our fault
flow, and instead rely on the page fault itself to make the PTE dirty
and writeable. The following description from the patch adding the
vm_insert_mixed_mkwrite() call explains this a little more:
"To be able to use the common 4k zero page in DAX we need to have our
PTE fault path look more like our PMD fault path where a PTE entry
can be marked as dirty and writeable as it is first inserted rather
than waiting for a follow-up dax_pfn_mkwrite() =>
finish_mkwrite_fault() call.
Right now we can rely on having a dax_pfn_mkwrite() call because we
can distinguish between these two cases in do_wp_page():
case 1: 4k zero page => writable DAX storage
case 2: read-only DAX storage => writeable DAX storage
This distinction is made by via vm_normal_page(). vm_normal_page()
returns false for the common 4k zero page, though, just as it does
for DAX ptes. Instead of special casing the DAX + 4k zero page case
we will simplify our DAX PTE page fault sequence so that it matches
our DAX PMD sequence, and get rid of the dax_pfn_mkwrite() helper.
We will instead use dax_iomap_fault() to handle write-protection
faults.
This means that insert_pfn() needs to follow the lead of
insert_pfn_pmd() and allow us to pass in a 'mkwrite' flag. If
'mkwrite' is set insert_pfn() will do the work that was previously
done by wp_page_reuse() as part of the dax_pfn_mkwrite() call path"

There is a need to separate the xdp_redirect tracepoint into two
tracepoints, for separating the error case from the normal forward
case.
Due to the extreme speeds XDP is operating at, loading a tracepoint
have a measurable impact. Single core XDP REDIRECT (ethtool tuned
rx-usecs 25) can do 13.7 Mpps forwarding, but loading a simple
bpf_prog at the tracepoint (with a return 0) reduce perf to 10.2 Mpps
(CPU E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz, driver: ixgbe)
The overhead of loading a bpf-based tracepoint can be calculated to
cost 25 nanosec ((1/13782002-1/10267937)*10^9 = -24.83 ns).
Using perf record on the tracepoint event, with a non-matching --filter
expression, the overhead is much larger. Performance drops to 8.3 Mpps,
cost 48 nanosec ((1/13782002-1/8312497)*10^9 = -47.74))
Having a separate tracepoint for err cases, which should be less
frequent, allow running a continuous monitor for errors while not
affecting the redirect forward performance (this have also been
verified by measurements).

To make sense of the map index, the tracepoint user also need to know
that map we are talking about. Supply the map pointer but only expose
the map->id.
The 'to_index' is renamed 'to_ifindex'. In the xdp_redirect_map case,
this is the result of the devmap lookup. The map lookup key is exposed
as map_index, which is needed to troubleshoot in case the lookup failed.
The 'to_ifindex' is placed after 'err' to keep TP_STRUCT as common as
possible.
This also keeps the TP_STRUCT similar enough, that userspace can write
a monitor program, that doesn't need to care about whether
bpf_redirect or bpf_redirect_map were used.

There is too much overhead in the current trace_xdp_redirect
tracepoint as it does strcpy and strlen on the net_device names.
Besides, exposing the ifindex/index is actually the information that
is needed in the tracepoint to diagnose issues. When a lookup fails
(either ifindex or devmap index) then there is a need for saying which
to_index that have issues.

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).
For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device. But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.
Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

The return error code need to be included in the tracepoint
xdp:xdp_redirect, else its not possible to distinguish successful or
failed XDP_REDIRECT transmits.
XDP have no queuing mechanism. Thus, it is fairly easily to overrun a
NIC transmit queue. The eBPF program invoking helpers (bpf_redirect
or bpf_redirect_map) to redirect a packet doesn't get any feedback
whether the packet was actually transmitted.
Info on failed transmits in the tracepoint xdp:xdp_redirect, is
interesting as this opens for providing a feedback-loop to the
receiving XDP program.

The main purpose of this tracepoint is to monitor bulk dequeue
in the network qdisc layer, as it cannot be deducted from the

The txq_state can be used for determining the reason for zero packet
dequeues, see enum netdev_queue_state_t.
Notice all packets doesn't necessary activate this tracepoint. As
qdiscs with flag TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS, can directly invoke
sch_direct_xmit() when qdisc_qlen is zero.
Remember that perf record supports filters like:

semantic
__GFP_REPEAT was designed to allow retry-but-eventually-fail semantic to
the page allocator. This has been true but only for allocations
requests larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. It has been always
ignored for smaller sizes. This is a bit unfortunate because there is
no way to express the same semantic for those requests and they are
considered too important to fail so they might end up looping in the
page allocator for ever, similarly to GFP_NOFAIL requests.
Now that the whole tree has been cleaned up and accidental or misled
usage of __GFP_REPEAT flag has been removed for !costly requests we can
give the original flag a better name and more importantly a more useful
semantic. Let's rename it to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL which tells the user
that the allocator would try really hard but there is no promise of a
success. This will work independent of the order and overrides the
default allocator behavior. Page allocator users have several levels of
guarantee vs. cost options (take GFP_KERNEL as an example)
- GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_RECLAIM - optimistic allocation without _any_
attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even
doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because
it might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more
aggressive reclaim
- GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (or GFP_NOWAIT)- optimistic
allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current
context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below
the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when
the request is a performance optimization and there is another
fallback for a slow path.
- (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (aka GFP_ATOMIC) -
non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access
some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bh
context with an expensive slow path fallback.
- GFP_KERNEL - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the
_default_ page allocator behavior is used. That means that !costly
allocation requests are basically nofail but there is no guarantee of
that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers
(e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently).
- GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY - overrides the default allocator behavior
and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive
reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer
is not invoked.
- GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - overrides the default allocator
behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request
will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer
won't be triggered.
- GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior
and all allocation requests will loop endlessly until they succeed.
This might be really dangerous especially for larger orders.
Existing users of __GFP_REPEAT are changed to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL
because they already had their semantic. No new users are added.
__alloc_pages_slowpath is changed to bail out for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL if
there is no progress and we have already passed the OOM point.
This means that all the reclaim opportunities have been exhausted except
the most disruptive one (the OOM killer) and a user defined fallback
behavior is more sensible than keep retrying in the page allocator.

Pull i2c updates from Wolfram Sang:
"This pull request contains:
- i2c core reorganization. One source file became too monolithic. It
is now split up, yet we still have the same named object as the
final output. This should ease maintenance.
- new drivers: ZTE ZX2967 family, ASPEED 24XX/25XX
- designware driver gained slave mode support
- xgene-slimpro driver gained ACPI support
- bigger overhaul for pca-platform driver
- the algo-bit module now supports messages with enforced STOP
- slightly bigger than usual set of driver updates and improvements
and with much appreciated quality assurance from Andy Shevchenko"

During the debugging of the problem described in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/5/17/542 and fixed by Tetsuo Handa in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/5/19/383 , I've found that the existing debug
output is not really useful to understand issues related to the oom
reaper.
So, I assume, that adding some tracepoints might help with debugging of
similar issues.
Trace the following events:
1) a process is marked as an oom victim,
2) a process is added to the oom reaper list,
3) the oom reaper starts reaping process's mm,
4) the oom reaper finished reaping,
5) the oom reaper skips reaping.
How it works in practice? Below is an example which show how the problem
mentioned above can be found: one process is added twice to the
oom_reaper list:
$ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
$ echo "oom:mark_victim" > set_event
$ echo "oom:wake_reaper" >> set_event
$ echo "oom:skip_task_reaping" >> set_event
$ echo "oom:start_task_reaping" >> set_event
$ echo "oom:finish_task_reaping" >> set_event
$ cat trace_pipe
allocate-502 [001] .... 91.836405: mark_victim: pid=502
allocate-502 [001] .N.. 91.837356: wake_reaper: pid=502
allocate-502 [000] .N.. 91.871149: wake_reaper: pid=502
oom_reaper-23 [000] .... 91.871177: start_task_reaping: pid=502
oom_reaper-23 [000] .N.. 91.879511: finish_task_reaping: pid=502
oom_reaper-23 [000] .... 91.879580: skip_task_reaping: pid=502

After enabling CONFIG_TRACE_ENUM_MAP_FILE (which will soon be renamed to
CONFIG_TRACE_EVAL_MAP_FILE), I am able to examine the enums that have
been evaluated:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/enum_map
(which will soon be renamed to eval_map)
And it showed some interesting results:
[..]
ZONE_MOVABLE 3 (oom)
ZONE_NORMAL 2 (oom)
ZONE_DMA32 1 (oom)
ZONE_DMA 0 (oom)
3 3 (oom)
2 2 (oom)
1 1 (oom)
COMPACT_PRIO_ASYNC 2 (oom)
COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT 1 (oom)
COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_FULL 0 (oom)
[..]
ZONE_DMA 0 (vmscan)
3 3 (vmscan)
2 2 (vmscan)
1 1 (vmscan)
COMPACT_PRIO_ASYNC 2 (vmscan)
[..]
ZONE_DMA 0 (kmem)
3 3 (kmem)
2 2 (kmem)
1 1 (kmem)
COMPACT_PRIO_ASYNC 2 (kmem)
[..]
ZONE_DMA 0 (compaction)
3 3 (compaction)
2 2 (compaction)
1 1 (compaction)
COMPACT_PRIO_ASYNC 2 (compaction)
[..]
The name within the parenthesis are the trace systems that the enum/eval
maps are associated with. When there's a number evaluated to another
number, that tells me that the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() was used on a #define
and not an enum. As #defines get converted normally, they are not needed
to be evaluated.
Each of the above trace systems with the number to number evaluation
included the file include/trace/events/mmflags.h which has:
/* High-level compaction status feedback */
#define COMPACTION_FAILED 1
#define COMPACTION_WITHDRAWN 2
#define COMPACTION_PROGRESS 3
[..]
#define COMPACTION_FEEDBACK \
EM(COMPACTION_FAILED, "failed") \
EM(COMPACTION_WITHDRAWN, "withdrawn") \
EMe(COMPACTION_PROGRESS, "progress")
Which is still needed for the __print_symbolic() usage in the
trace_event. But it is not needed to be evaluated.
Removing the evaluation part removes the unnecessary evaluations of
numbers to numbers.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"In this round, we've added new features such as disk quota and statx,
and modified internal bio management flow to merge more IOs depending
on block types. We've also made internal threads freezeable for
Android battery life. In addition to them, there are some patches to
avoid lock contention as well as a couple of deadlock conditions.
Enhancements:
- support usrquota, grpquota, and statx
- manage DATA/NODE typed bios separately to serialize more IOs
- modify f2fs_lock_op/wio_mutex to avoid lock contention
- prevent lock contention in migratepage
Bug fixes:
- fix missing load of written inode flag
- fix worst case victim selection in GC
- freezeable GC and discard threads for Android battery life
- sanitize f2fs metadata to deal with security hole
- clean up sysfs-related code and docs"
