Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM64:
- Enable the per-vcpu dirty-ring tracking mechanism, together with an
option to keep the good old dirty log around for pages that are
dirtied by something other than a vcpu.
- Switch to the relaxed parallel fault handling, using RCU to delay
page table reclaim and giving better performance under load.
- Relax the MTE ABI, allowing a VMM to use the MAP_SHARED mapping
option, which multi-process VMMs such as crosvm rely on (see merge
commit 382b5b87a97d: "Fix a number of issues with MTE, such as
races on the tags being initialised vs the PG_mte_tagged flag as
well as the lack of support for VM_SHARED when KVM is involved.
Patches from Catalin Marinas and Peter Collingbourne").
- Merge the pKVM shadow vcpu state tracking that allows the
hypervisor to have its own view of a vcpu, keeping that state
private.
- Add support for the PMUv3p5 architecture revision, bringing support
for 64bit counters on systems that support it, and fix the
no-quite-compliant CHAIN-ed counter support for the machines that
actually exist out there.
- Fix a handful of minor issues around 52bit VA/PA support (64kB
pages only) as a prefix of the oncoming support for 4kB and 16kB
pages.
- Pick a small set of documentation and spelling fixes, because no
good merge window would be complete without those.
s390:
- Second batch of the lazy destroy patches
- First batch of KVM changes for kernel virtual != physical address
support
- Removal of a unused function
x86:
- Allow compiling out SMM support
- Cleanup and documentation of SMM state save area format
- Preserve interrupt shadow in SMM state save area
- Respond to generic signals during slow page faults
- Fixes and optimizations for the non-executable huge page errata
fix.
- Reprogram all performance counters on PMU filter change
- Cleanups to Hyper-V emulation and tests
- Process Hyper-V TLB flushes from a nested guest (i.e. from a L2
guest running on top of a L1 Hyper-V hypervisor)
- Advertise several new Intel features
- x86 Xen-for-KVM:
- Allow the Xen runstate information to cross a page boundary
- Allow XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE flag behaviour to be configured
- Add support for 32-bit guests in SCHEDOP_poll
- Notable x86 fixes and cleanups:
- One-off fixes for various emulation flows (SGX, VMXON, NRIPS=0).
- Reinstate IBPB on emulated VM-Exit that was incorrectly dropped
a few years back when eliminating unnecessary barriers when
switching between vmcs01 and vmcs02.
- Clean up vmread_error_trampoline() to make it more obvious that
params must be passed on the stack, even for x86-64.
- Let userspace set all supported bits in MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL
irrespective of the current guest CPUID.
- Fudge around a race with TSC refinement that results in KVM
incorrectly thinking a guest needs TSC scaling when running on a
CPU with a constant TSC, but no hardware-enumerated TSC
frequency.
- Advertise (on AMD) that the SMM_CTL MSR is not supported
- Remove unnecessary exports
Generic:
- Support for responding to signals during page faults; introduces
new FOLL_INTERRUPTIBLE flag that was reviewed by mm folks
Selftests:
- Fix an inverted check in the access tracking perf test, and restore
support for asserting that there aren't too many idle pages when
running on bare metal.
- Fix build errors that occur in certain setups (unsure exactly what
is unique about the problematic setup) due to glibc overriding
static_assert() to a variant that requires a custom message.
- Introduce actual atomics for clear/set_bit() in selftests
- Add support for pinning vCPUs in dirty_log_perf_test.
- Rename the so called "perf_util" framework to "memstress".
- Add a lightweight psuedo RNG for guest use, and use it to randomize
the access pattern and write vs. read percentage in the memstress
tests.
- Add a common ucall implementation; code dedup and pre-work for
running SEV (and beyond) guests in selftests.
- Provide a common constructor and arch hook, which will eventually
be used by x86 to automatically select the right hypercall (AMD vs.
Intel).
- A bunch of added/enabled/fixed selftests for ARM64, covering
memslots, breakpoints, stage-2 faults and access tracking.
- x86-specific selftest changes:
- Clean up x86's page table management.
- Clean up and enhance the "smaller maxphyaddr" test, and add a
related test to cover generic emulation failure.
- Clean up the nEPT support checks.
- Add X86_PROPERTY_* framework to retrieve multi-bit CPUID values.
- Fix an ordering issue in the AMX test introduced by recent
conversions to use kvm_cpu_has(), and harden the code to guard
against similar bugs in the future. Anything that tiggers
caching of KVM's supported CPUID, kvm_cpu_has() in this case,
effectively hides opt-in XSAVE features if the caching occurs
before the test opts in via prctl().
Documentation:
- Remove deleted ioctls from documentation
- Clean up the docs for the x86 MSR filter.
- Various fixes"

Pull simple-xattr updates from Christian Brauner:
"This ports the simple xattr infrastucture to rely on a simple rbtree
protected by a read-write lock instead of a linked list protected by a
spinlock.
A while ago we received reports about scaling issues for filesystems
using the simple xattr infrastructure that also support setting a
larger number of xattrs. Specifically, cgroups and tmpfs.
Both cgroupfs and tmpfs can be mounted by unprivileged users in
unprivileged containers and root in an unprivileged container can set
an unrestricted number of security.* xattrs and privileged users can
also set unlimited trusted.* xattrs. A few more words on further that
below. Other xattrs such as user.* are restricted for kernfs-based
instances to a fairly limited number.
As there are apparently users that have a fairly large number of
xattrs we should scale a bit better. Using a simple linked list
protected by a spinlock used for set, get, and list operations doesn't
scale well if users use a lot of xattrs even if it's not a crazy
number.
Let's switch to a simple rbtree protected by a rwlock. It scales way
better and gets rid of the perf issues some people reported. We
originally had fancier solutions even using an rcu+seqlock protected
rbtree but we had concerns about being to clever and also that
deletion from an rbtree with rcu+seqlock isn't entirely safe.
The rbtree plus rwlock is perfectly fine. By far the most common
operation is getting an xattr. While setting an xattr is not and
should be comparatively rare. And listxattr() often only happens when
copying xattrs between files or together with the contents to a new
file.
Holding a lock across listxattr() is unproblematic because it doesn't
list the values of xattrs. It can only be used to list the names of
all xattrs set on a file. And the number of xattr names that can be
listed with listxattr() is limited to XATTR_LIST_MAX aka 65536 bytes.
If a larger buffer is passed then vfs_listxattr() caps it to
XATTR_LIST_MAX and if more xattr names are found it will return
-E2BIG. In short, the maximum amount of memory that can be retrieved
via listxattr() is limited and thus listxattr() bounded.
Of course, the API is broken as documented on xattr(7) already. While
I have no idea how the xattr api ended up in this state we should
probably try to come up with something here at some point. An iterator
pattern similar to readdir() as an alternative to listxattr() or
something else.
Right now it is extremly strange that users can set millions of xattrs
but then can't use listxattr() to know which xattrs are actually set.
And it's really trivial to do:
for i in {1..1000000}; do setfattr -n security.$i -v $i ./file1; done
And around 5000 xattrs it's impossible to use listxattr() to figure
out which xattrs are actually set. So I have suggested that we try to
limit the number of xattrs for simple xattrs at least. But that's a
future patch and I don't consider it very urgent.
A bonus of this port to rbtree+rwlock is that we shrink the memory
consumption for users of the simple xattr infrastructure.
This also adds kernel documentation to all the functions"

Pull VFS acl updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work that builds a dedicated vfs posix acl api.
The origins of this work trace back to v5.19 but it took quite a while
to understand the various filesystem specific implementations in
sufficient detail and also come up with an acceptable solution.
As we discussed and seen multiple times the current state of how posix
acls are handled isn't nice and comes with a lot of problems: The
current way of handling posix acls via the generic xattr api is error
prone, hard to maintain, and type unsafe for the vfs until we call
into the filesystem's dedicated get and set inode operations.
It is already the case that posix acls are special-cased to death all
the way through the vfs. There are an uncounted number of hacks that
operate on the uapi posix acl struct instead of the dedicated vfs
struct posix_acl. And the vfs must be involved in order to interpret
and fixup posix acls before storing them to the backing store, caching
them, reporting them to userspace, or for permission checking.
Currently a range of hacks and duct tape exist to make this work. As
with most things this is really no ones fault it's just something that
happened over time. But the code is hard to understand and difficult
to maintain and one is constantly at risk of introducing bugs and
regressions when having to touch it.
Instead of continuing to hack posix acls through the xattr handlers
this series builds a dedicated posix acl api solely around the get and
set inode operations.
Going forward, the vfs_get_acl(), vfs_remove_acl(), and vfs_set_acl()
helpers must be used in order to interact with posix acls. They
operate directly on the vfs internal struct posix_acl instead of
abusing the uapi posix acl struct as we currently do. In the end this
removes all of the hackiness, makes the codepaths easier to maintain,
and gets us type safety.
This series passes the LTP and xfstests suites without any
regressions. For xfstests the following combinations were tested:
- xfs
- ext4
- btrfs
- overlayfs
- overlayfs on top of idmapped mounts
- orangefs
- (limited) cifs
There's more simplifications for posix acls that we can make in the
future if the basic api has made it.
A few implementation details:
- The series makes sure to retain exactly the same security and
integrity module permission checks. Especially for the integrity
modules this api is a win because right now they convert the uapi
posix acl struct passed to them via a void pointer into the vfs
struct posix_acl format to perform permission checking on the mode.
There's a new dedicated security hook for setting posix acls which
passes the vfs struct posix_acl not a void pointer. Basing checking
on the posix acl stored in the uapi format is really unreliable.
The vfs currently hacks around directly in the uapi struct storing
values that frankly the security and integrity modules can't
correctly interpret as evidenced by bugs we reported and fixed in
this area. It's not necessarily even their fault it's just that the
format we provide to them is sub optimal.
- Some filesystems like 9p and cifs need access to the dentry in
order to get and set posix acls which is why they either only
partially or not even at all implement get and set inode
operations. For example, cifs allows setxattr() and getxattr()
operations but doesn't allow permission checking based on posix
acls because it can't implement a get acl inode operation.
Thus, this patch series updates the set acl inode operation to take
a dentry instead of an inode argument. However, for the get acl
inode operation we can't do this as the old get acl method is
called in e.g., generic_permission() and inode_permission(). These
helpers in turn are called in various filesystem's permission inode
operation. So passing a dentry argument to the old get acl inode
operation would amount to passing a dentry to the permission inode
operation which we shouldn't and probably can't do.
So instead of extending the existing inode operation Christoph
suggested to add a new one. He also requested to ensure that the
get and set acl inode operation taking a dentry are consistently
named. So for this version the old get acl operation is renamed to
->get_inode_acl() and a new ->get_acl() inode operation taking a
dentry is added. With this we can give both 9p and cifs get and set
acl inode operations and in turn remove their complex custom posix
xattr handlers.
In the future I hope to get rid of the inode method duplication but
it isn't like we have never had this situation. Readdir is just one
example. And frankly, the overall gain in type safety and the more
pleasant api wise are simply too big of a benefit to not accept
this duplication for a while.
- We've done a full audit of every codepaths using variant of the
current generic xattr api to get and set posix acls and
surprisingly it isn't that many places. There's of course always a
chance that we might have missed some and if so I'm sure we'll find
them soon enough.
The crucial codepaths to be converted are obviously stacking
filesystems such as ecryptfs and overlayfs.
For a list of all callers currently using generic xattr api helpers
see [2] including comments whether they support posix acls or not.
- The old vfs generic posix acl infrastructure doesn't obey the
create and replace semantics promised on the setxattr(2) manpage.
This patch series doesn't address this. It really is something we
should revisit later though.
The patches are roughly organized as follows:
(1) Change existing set acl inode operation to take a dentry
argument (Intended to be a non-functional change)
(2) Rename existing get acl method (Intended to be a non-functional
change)
(3) Implement get and set acl inode operations for filesystems that
couldn't implement one before because of the missing dentry.
That's mostly 9p and cifs (Intended to be a non-functional
change)
(4) Build posix acl api, i.e., add vfs_get_acl(), vfs_remove_acl(),
and vfs_set_acl() including security and integrity hooks
(Intended to be a non-functional change)
(5) Implement get and set acl inode operations for stacking
filesystems (Intended to be a non-functional change)
(6) Switch posix acl handling in stacking filesystems to new posix
acl api now that all filesystems it can stack upon support it.
(7) Switch vfs to new posix acl api (semantical change)
(8) Remove all now unused helpers
(9) Additional regression fixes reported after we merged this into
linux-next

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random
Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
- Replace prandom_u32_max() and various open-coded variants of it,
there is now a new family of functions that uses fast rejection
sampling to choose properly uniformly random numbers within an
interval:
get_random_u32_below(ceil) - [0, ceil)
get_random_u32_above(floor) - (floor, U32_MAX]
get_random_u32_inclusive(floor, ceil) - [floor, ceil]
Coccinelle was used to convert all current users of
prandom_u32_max(), as well as many open-coded patterns, resulting in
improvements throughout the tree.
I'll have a "late" 6.1-rc1 pull for you that removes the now unused
prandom_u32_max() function, just in case any other trees add a new
use case of it that needs to converted. According to linux-next,
there may be two trivial cases of prandom_u32_max() reintroductions
that are fixable with a 's/.../.../'. So I'll have for you a final
conversion patch doing that alongside the removal patch during the
second week.
This is a treewide change that touches many files throughout.
- More consistent use of get_random_canary().
- Updates to comments, documentation, tests, headers, and
simplification in configuration.
- The arch_get_random*_early() abstraction was only used by arm64 and
wasn't entirely useful, so this has been replaced by code that works
in all relevant contexts.
- The kernel will use and manage random seeds in non-volatile EFI
variables, refreshing a variable with a fresh seed when the RNG is
initialized. The RNG GUID namespace is then hidden from efivarfs to
prevent accidental leakage.
These changes are split into random.c infrastructure code used in the
EFI subsystem, in this pull request, and related support inside of
EFISTUB, in Ard's EFI tree. These are co-dependent for full
functionality, but the order of merging doesn't matter.
- Part of the infrastructure added for the EFI support is also used for
an improvement to the way vsprintf initializes its siphash key,
replacing an sleep loop wart.
- The hardware RNG framework now always calls its correct random.c
input function, add_hwgenerator_randomness(), rather than sometimes
going through helpers better suited for other cases.
- The add_latent_entropy() function has long been called from the fork
handler, but is a no-op when the latent entropy gcc plugin isn't
used, which is fine for the purposes of latent entropy.
But it was missing out on the cycle counter that was also being mixed
in beside the latent entropy variable. So now, if the latent entropy
gcc plugin isn't enabled, add_latent_entropy() will expand to a call
to add_device_randomness(NULL, 0), which adds a cycle counter,
without the absent latent entropy variable.
- The RNG is now reseeded from a delayed worker, rather than on demand
when used. Always running from a worker allows it to make use of the
CPU RNG on platforms like S390x, whose instructions are too slow to
do so from interrupts. It also has the effect of adding in new inputs
more frequently with more regularity, amounting to a long term
transcript of random values. Plus, it helps a bit with the upcoming
vDSO implementation (which isn't yet ready for 6.2).
- The jitter entropy algorithm now tries to execute on many different
CPUs, round-robining, in hopes of hitting even more memory latencies
and other unpredictable effects. It also will mix in a cycle counter
when the entropy timer fires, in addition to being mixed in from the
main loop, to account more explicitly for fluctuations in that timer
firing. And the state it touches is now kept within the same cache
line, so that it's assured that the different execution contexts will
cause latencies.

Use the newly-added function kunit_get_current_test() instead of
accessing current->kunit_test directly. This function uses a static key
to return more quickly when KUnit is enabled, but no tests are actively
running. There should therefore be a negligible performance impact to
enabling the slub KUnit tests.
Other than the performance improvement, this should be a no-op.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab
Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- SLOB deprecation and SLUB_TINY
The SLOB allocator adds maintenance burden and stands in the way of
API improvements [1]. Deprecate it by renaming the config option (to
make users notice) to CONFIG_SLOB_DEPRECATED with updated help text.
SLUB should be used instead as SLAB will be the next on the removal
list.
Based on reports from a riscv k210 board with 8MB RAM, add a
CONFIG_SLUB_TINY option to minimize SLUB's memory usage at the
expense of scalability. This has resolved the k210 regression [2] so
in case there are no others (that wouldn't be resolvable by further
tweaks to SLUB_TINY) plan is to remove SLOB in a few cycles.
Existing defconfigs with CONFIG_SLOB are converted to
CONFIG_SLUB_TINY.
- kmalloc() slub_debug redzone improvements
A series from Feng Tang that builds on the tracking or requested size
for kmalloc() allocations (for caches with debugging enabled) added
in 6.1, to make redzone checks consider the requested size and not
the rounded up one, in order to catch more subtle buffer overruns.
Includes new slub_kunit test.
- struct slab fields reordering to accomodate larger rcu_head
RCU folks would like to grow rcu_head with debugging options, which
breaks current struct slab layout's assumptions, so reorganize it to
make this possible.
- Miscellaneous improvements/fixes:
- __alloc_size checking compiler workaround (Kees Cook)
- Optimize and cleanup SLUB's sysfs init (Rasmus Villemoes)
- Make SLAB compatible with PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING (Jiri Kosina)

Commit 5df397dec7c4 ("mm: delay page_remove_rmap() until after the TLB has
been flushed") limited the page batching for the mmu gather operation when
a dirty shared page needed to delay rmap removal until after the TLB had
been flushed.
It did so because it needs to walk that array of pages while still holding
the page table lock, and our mmu_gather infrastructure allows for batching
quite a lot of pages. We may have thousands on pages queued up for
freeing, and we wanted to walk only the last batch if we then added a
dirty page to the queue.
However, when I limited it to one batch, I didn't think of the degenerate
case of the special first batch that is embedded on-stack in the
mmu_gather structure (called "local") and that only has eight entries.
So with the right pattern, that "limit delayed rmap to just one batch"
will trigger over and over in that first small batch, and we'll waste a
lot of time flushing TLB's every eight pages.
And those right patterns are trivially triggered by just having a shared
mappings with lots of adjacent dirty pages. Like the 'page_fault3'
subtest of the 'will-it-scale' benchmark, that just maps a shared area,
dirties all pages, and unmaps it. Rinse and repeat.
We still want to limit the batching, but to fix this (easily triggered)
degenerate case, just expand the "only one batch" logic to instead be
"only one batch that isn't the special first on-stack ('local') batch".
That way, when we need to flush the delayed rmaps, we can still limit our
walk to just the last batch - and that first small one.

Recent Clang changes may cause it to delete calls of memcpy(), if the
source is an uninitialized volatile local. This happens because passing a
pointer to a volatile local into memcpy() discards the volatile qualifier,
giving the compiler a free hand to optimize the memcpy() call away.
Use OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR() to hide the uninitialized var from the too-smart
compiler.

Patch series "selftests/vm: fix some tests on 32bit".
I finally had the time to run some of the selftests written by me
(especially "cow") on x86 PAE. I found some unexpected "surprises" :)
With these changes, and with [1] on top of mm-unstable, the "cow" tests
and the "ksm_functional_tests" compile and pass as expected (expected
failures with hugetlb in the "cow" tests). "madv_populate" has one
expected test failure -- x86 does not support softdirty tracking.
#1-#3 fix commits with stable commit ids. #4 fixes a test that is not in
mm-stable yet.
A note that there are many other compile errors/warnings when compiling on
32bit and with older Linux headers ... something for another day.

Commit 4b51634cd16a, introducing the COMPOUND_MAPPED bit, paid attention
to the impossibility of subpages_mapcount ever appearing negative; but did
not attend to those races in which it can momentarily appear larger than
thought possible.
These arise from how page_remove_rmap() first decrements page->_mapcount
or compound_mapcount, then, if that transition goes negative (logical 0),
decrements subpages_mapcount. The initial decrement lets a racing
page_add_*_rmap() reincrement _mapcount or compound_mapcount immediately,
and then in rare cases its corresponding increment of subpages_mapcount
may be completed before page_remove_rmap()'s decrement. There could even
(with increasing unlikelihood) be a series of increments intermixed with
the decrements.
In practice, checking subpages_mapcount with a temporary WARN on range,
has caught values of 0x1000000 (2*COMPOUND_MAPPED, when move_pages() was
using remove_migration_pmd()) and 0x800201 (do_huge_pmd_wp_page() using
__split_huge_pmd()): page_add_anon_rmap() racing page_remove_rmap(), as
predicted.
I certainly found it harder to reason about than when bit_spin_locked, but
the easy case gives a clue to how to handle the harder case. The easy
case being the three !(nr & COMPOUND_MAPPED) checks, which should
obviously be replaced by (nr < COMPOUND_MAPPED) checks - to count a page
as compound mapped, even while the bit in that position is 0.
The harder case is when trying to decide how many subpages are newly
covered or uncovered, when compound map is first added or last removed:
not knowing all that racily happened between first and second atomic ops.
But the easy way to handle that, is again to count the page as compound
mapped all the while that its subpages_mapcount indicates so - ignoring
the _mapcount or compound_mapcount transition while it is on the way to
being reversed.

I'd been worried by high "swapcached" counts in memcg OOM reports, thought
we had a problem freeing swapcache, but it was just the accounting that
was wrong.
Two issues:
1. When __remove_mapping() removes swapcache,
__delete_from_swap_cache() relies on memcg_data for the right counts to
be updated; but that had already been reset by mem_cgroup_swapout().
Swap those calls around - mem_cgroup_swapout() does not require the
swapcached flag to be set.
6.1 commit ac35a4902374 ("mm: multi-gen LRU: minimal
implementation") already made a similar swap for workingset_eviction(),
but not for this.
2. memcg's "swapcached" count was added for memcg v2 stats, but
displayed on OOM even for memcg v1: so mem_cgroup_move_account() ought
to move it.

The nodes= arg instructs the kernel to only scan the given nodes for
proactive reclaim. For example use cases, consider a 2 tier memory
system:
nodes 0,1 -> top tier
nodes 2,3 -> second tier
$ echo "1m nodes=0" > memory.reclaim
This instructs the kernel to attempt to reclaim 1m memory from node 0.
Since node 0 is a top tier node, demotion will be attempted first. This
is useful to direct proactive reclaim to specific nodes that are under
pressure.
$ echo "1m nodes=2,3" > memory.reclaim
This instructs the kernel to attempt to reclaim 1m memory in the second
tier, since this tier of memory has no demotion targets the memory will be
reclaimed.
$ echo "1m nodes=0,1" > memory.reclaim
Instructs the kernel to reclaim memory from the top tier nodes, which can
be desirable according to the userspace policy if there is pressure on the
top tiers. Since these nodes have demotion targets, the kernel will
attempt demotion first.
Since commit 3f1509c57b1b ("Revert "mm/vmscan: never demote for memcg
reclaim""), the proactive reclaim interface memory.reclaim does both
reclaim and demotion. Reclaim and demotion incur different latency costs
to the jobs in the cgroup. Demoted memory would still be addressable by
the userspace at a higher latency, but reclaimed memory would need to
incur a pagefault.
The 'nodes' arg is useful to allow the userspace to control demotion and
reclaim independently according to its policy: if the memory.reclaim is
called on a node with demotion targets, it will attempt demotion first; if
it is called on a node without demotion targets, it will only attempt
reclaim.

Reclaiming directly from top tier nodes breaks the aging pipeline of
memory tiers. If we have a RAM -> CXL -> storage hierarchy, we should
demote from RAM to CXL and from CXL to storage. If we reclaim a page from
RAM, it means we 'demote' it directly from RAM to storage, bypassing
potentially a huge amount of pages colder than it in CXL.
However disabling reclaim from top tier nodes entirely would cause ooms in
edge scenarios where lower tier memory is unreclaimable for whatever
reason, e.g. memory being mlocked() or too hot to reclaim. In these
cases we would rather the job run with a performance regression rather
than it oom altogether.
However, we can disable reclaim from top tier nodes for proactive reclaim.
That reclaim is not real memory pressure, and we don't have any cause to
be breaking the aging pipeline.

Patch series "mm: memcg: fix protection of reclaim target memcg", v3.
This series fixes a bug in calculating the protection of the reclaim
target memcg where we end up using stale effective protection values from
the last reclaim operation, instead of completely ignoring the protection
of the reclaim target as intended. More detailed explanation and examples
in patch 1, which includes the fix. Patches 2 & 3 introduce a selftest
case that catches the bug.
This patch (of 3):
When we are doing memcg reclaim, the intended behavior is that we
ignore any protection (memory.min, memory.low) of the target memcg (but
not its children). Ever since the patch pointed to by the "Fixes" tag,
we actually read a stale value for the target memcg protection when
deciding whether to skip the memcg or not because it is protected. If
the stale value happens to be high enough, we don't reclaim from the
target memcg.
Essentially, in some cases we may falsely skip reclaiming from the
target memcg of reclaim because we read a stale protection value from
last time we reclaimed from it.
During reclaim, mem_cgroup_calculate_protection() is used to determine the
effective protection (emin and elow) values of a memcg. The protection of
the reclaim target is ignored, but we cannot set their effective
protection to 0 due to a limitation of the current implementation (see
comment in mem_cgroup_protection()). Instead, we leave their effective
protection values unchaged, and later ignore it in
mem_cgroup_protection().
However, mem_cgroup_protection() is called later in
shrink_lruvec()->get_scan_count(), which is after the
mem_cgroup_below_{min/low}() checks in shrink_node_memcgs(). As a result,
the stale effective protection values of the target memcg may lead us to
skip reclaiming from the target memcg entirely, before calling
shrink_lruvec(). This can be even worse with recursive protection, where
the stale target memcg protection can be higher than its standalone
protection. See two examples below (a similar version of example (a) is
added to test_memcontrol in a later patch).
(a) A simple example with proactive reclaim is as follows. Consider the
following hierarchy:
ROOT
|
A
|
B (memory.min = 10M)
Consider the following scenario:
- B has memory.current = 10M.
- The system undergoes global reclaim (or memcg reclaim in A).
- In shrink_node_memcgs():
- mem_cgroup_calculate_protection() calculates the effective min (emin)
of B as 10M.
- mem_cgroup_below_min() returns true for B, we do not reclaim from B.
- Now if we want to reclaim 5M from B using proactive reclaim
(memory.reclaim), we should be able to, as the protection of the
target memcg should be ignored.
- In shrink_node_memcgs():
- mem_cgroup_calculate_protection() immediately returns for B without
doing anything, as B is the target memcg, relying on
mem_cgroup_protection() to ignore B's stale effective min (still 10M).
- mem_cgroup_below_min() reads the stale effective min for B and we
skip it instead of ignoring its protection as intended, as we never
reach mem_cgroup_protection().
(b) An more complex example with recursive protection is as follows.
Consider the following hierarchy with memory_recursiveprot:
ROOT
|
A (memory.min = 50M)
|
B (memory.min = 10M, memory.high = 40M)
Consider the following scenario:
- B has memory.current = 35M.
- The system undergoes global reclaim (target memcg is NULL).
- B will have an effective min of 50M (all of A's unclaimed protection).
- B will not be reclaimed from.
- Now allocate 10M more memory in B, pushing it above it's high limit.
- The system undergoes memcg reclaim from B (target memcg is B).
- Like example (a), we do nothing in mem_cgroup_calculate_protection(),
then call mem_cgroup_below_min(), which will read the stale effective
min for B (50M) and skip it. In this case, it's even worse because we
are not just considering B's standalone protection (10M), but we are
reading a much higher stale protection (50M) which will cause us to not
reclaim from B at all.
This is an artifact of commit 45c7f7e1ef17 ("mm, memcg: decouple
e{low,min} state mutations from protection checks") which made
mem_cgroup_calculate_protection() only change the state without returning
any value. Before that commit, we used to return MEMCG_PROT_NONE for the
target memcg, which would cause us to skip the
mem_cgroup_below_{min/low}() checks. After that commit we do not return
anything and we end up checking the min & low effective protections for
the target memcg, which are stale.
Update mem_cgroup_supports_protection() to also check if we are reclaiming
from the target, and rename it to mem_cgroup_unprotected() (now returns
true if we should not protect the memcg, much simpler logic).

After the recent changes done to KUnit-enabled KASAN tests, non-KASAN
KUnit tests stopped being failed when KASAN report is detected.
Recover that property by failing the currently running non-KASAN KUnit
test when KASAN detects and prints a report for a bad memory access.
Note that if the bad accesses happened in a kernel thread that doesn't
have a reference to the currently running KUnit-test available via
current->kunit_test, the test won't be failed. This is a limitation of
KUnit, which doesn't yet provide a thread-agnostic way to find the
reference to the currenly running test.

Patch series "convert core hugetlb functions to folios", v5.
============== OVERVIEW ===========================
Now that many hugetlb helper functions that deal with hugetlb specific
flags[1] and hugetlb cgroups[2] are converted to folios, higher level
allocation, prep, and freeing functions within hugetlb can also be
converted to operate in folios.
Patch 1 of this series implements the wrapper functions around setting the
compound destructor and compound order for a folio. Besides the user
added in patch 1, patch 2 and patch 9 also use these helper functions.
Patches 2-10 convert the higher level hugetlb functions to folios.
============== TESTING ===========================
LTP:
Ran 10 back to back rounds of the LTP hugetlb test suite.
Gigantic Huge Pages:
Test allocation and freeing via hugeadm commands:
hugeadm --pool-pages-min 1GB:10
hugeadm --pool-pages-min 1GB:0
Demote:
Demote 1 1GB hugepages to 512 2MB hugepages
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/demote
cat /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
# 512
cat /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages

Add sparse memory vmemmap support for LoongArch. SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP uses a
virtually mapped memmap to optimise pfn_to_page and page_to_pfn
operations. This is the most efficient option when sufficient kernel
resources are available.

In certain cases (e.g. when handling a softirq)
__msan_instrument_asm_store(&var, sizeof(var)) may be called with from
within KMSAN runtime, but later the value of @var is used with
!kmsan_in_runtime(), leading to false positives.
Because kmsan_internal_unpoison_memory() doesn't take locks, it should be
fine to call it without kmsan_in_runtime() checks, which fixes the
mentioned false positives.

generic_fadvise() sets endbyte = -1 to specify end of file (i.e. if
length == 0 is passed from userspace). Most other callers to
filemap_fdatawrite_range() use LLONG_MAX for this purpose, particularly if
they also call fdatawait_range() (which requires end >= start). For
example, sync_file_range(), vfs_fsync() (where the range is passed down
through per-fs ->fsync() callbacks), filemap_flush(), etc.
generic_fadvise() does not currently wait on writeback, but fix the call
up to be consistent with other callers.

Patch series "filemap: skip write and wait if end offset precedes start",
v2.
A fix for the odd write and wait behavior described in the patch 1 commit
log. Technically patch 1 could simply remove the check rather than lift
it into the callers, but this seemed a bit more user friendly to me.
Patch 2 is appended after observation that fadvise() interacted poorly
with the v1 patch. This is no longer a problem with v2, making patch 2
purely a cleanup.
This series survived both fstests and ltp regression runs without
observable problems. I had (end < start) warning checks in each relevant
function, with fadvise() being the only caller that triggered them. That
said, I dropped the warnings after testing because there seemed to much
potential for noise from the various other callers.
This patch (of 2):
A call to file[map]_write_and_wait_range() with an end offset that
precedes the start offset but happens to land in the same page can trigger
writeback submission but fails to wait on the submitted page. Writeback
submission occurs because __filemap_fdatawrite_range() passes both offsets
down into write_cache_pages(), which rounds down to page indexes before it
starts processing writeback. However, __filemap_fdatawait_range()
immediately returns if the byte-granular end offset precedes the start
offset.
This behavior was observed in the form of unpredictable latency from a
frequent write and wait call with incorrect parameters. The behavior gave
the impression that the fdatawait path might occasionally fail to wait on
writeback, but further investigation showed the latency was from
write_cache_pages() waiting on writeback state to clear for a page already
under writeback. Therefore, this indicated that fdatawait actually never
waits on writeback in this particular situation.
The byte granular check in __filemap_fdatawait_range() goes all the way
back to the old wait_on_page_writeback() helper. It originally used page
offsets and so would have waited in this problematic case. That changed
to byte granularity file offsets in commit 94004ed726f3 ("kill
wait_on_page_writeback_range"), which subtly changed this behavior. The
check itself has become somewhat redundant since the error checking code
that used to follow the wait loop (at the time of the aforementioned
commit) has now been removed and lifted into the higher level callers.
Therefore, we can restore historical fdatawait behavior by simply removing
the check. Since the current fdatawait behavior has been in place for
quite some time and is consistent with other interfaces that use file
offsets, instead lift the check into the file[map]_write_and_wait_range()
helpers to provide consistent behavior between the write and wait.

This commit adds the writeback mechanism for zsmalloc, analogous to the
zbud allocator. Zsmalloc will attempt to determine the coldest zspage
(i.e least recently used) in the pool, and attempt to write back all the
stored compressed objects via the pool's evict handler.

Currently, zsmalloc has a hierarchy of locks, which includes a pool-level
migrate_lock, and a lock for each size class. We have to obtain both
locks in the hotpath in most cases anyway, except for zs_malloc. This
exception will no longer exist when we introduce a LRU into the zs_pool
for the new writeback functionality - we will need to obtain a pool-level
lock to synchronize LRU handling even in zs_malloc.
In preparation for zsmalloc writeback, consolidate these locks into a
single pool-level lock, which drastically reduces the complexity of
synchronization in zsmalloc.
We have also benchmarked the lock consolidation to see the performance
effect of this change on zram.
First, we ran a synthetic FS workload on a server machine with 36 cores
(same machine for all runs), using
fs_mark -d ../zram1mnt -s 100000 -n 2500 -t 32 -k
before and after for btrfs and ext4 on zram (FS usage is 80%).
Here is the result (unit is file/second):
With lock consolidation (btrfs):
Average: 13520.2, Median: 13531.0, Stddev: 137.5961482019028
Without lock consolidation (btrfs):
Average: 13487.2, Median: 13575.0, Stddev: 309.08283679298665
With lock consolidation (ext4):
Average: 16824.4, Median: 16839.0, Stddev: 89.97388510006668
Without lock consolidation (ext4)
Average: 16958.0, Median: 16986.0, Stddev: 194.7370021336469
As you can see, we observe a 0.3% regression for btrfs, and a 0.9%
regression for ext4. This is a small, barely measurable difference in my
opinion.
For a more realistic scenario, we also tries building the kernel on zram.
Here is the time it takes (in seconds):
With lock consolidation (btrfs):
real
Average: 319.6, Median: 320.0, Stddev: 0.8944271909999159
user
Average: 6894.2, Median: 6895.0, Stddev: 25.528415540334656
sys
Average: 521.4, Median: 522.0, Stddev: 1.51657508881031
Without lock consolidation (btrfs):
real
Average: 319.8, Median: 320.0, Stddev: 0.8366600265340756
user
Average: 6896.6, Median: 6899.0, Stddev: 16.04057355583023
sys
Average: 520.6, Median: 521.0, Stddev: 1.140175425099138
With lock consolidation (ext4):
real
Average: 320.0, Median: 319.0, Stddev: 1.4142135623730951
user
Average: 6896.8, Median: 6878.0, Stddev: 28.621670111997307
sys
Average: 521.2, Median: 521.0, Stddev: 1.7888543819998317
Without lock consolidation (ext4)
real
Average: 319.6, Median: 319.0, Stddev: 0.8944271909999159
user
Average: 6886.2, Median: 6887.0, Stddev: 16.93221781102523
sys
Average: 520.4, Median: 520.0, Stddev: 1.140175425099138
The difference is entirely within the noise of a typical run on zram.
This hardly justifies the complexity of maintaining both the pool lock and
the class lock. In fact, for writeback, we would need to introduce yet
another lock to prevent data races on the pool's LRU, further complicating
the lock handling logic. IMHO, it is just better to collapse all of these
into a single pool-level lock.
