"This adds a user for the new 'bytes-remaining' updates to
memcpy_mcsafe() that you already received through Ingo via the
x86-dax- for-linus pull.
Not included here, but still targeting this cycle, is support for
handling memory media errors (poison) consumed via userspace dax
mappings.
Summary:
- DAX broke a fundamental assumption of truncate of file mapped
pages. The truncate path assumed that it is safe to disconnect a
pinned page from a file and let the filesystem reclaim the physical
block. With DAX the page is equivalent to the filesystem block.
Introduce dax_layout_busy_page() to enable filesystems to wait for
pinned DAX pages to be released. Without this wait a filesystem
could allocate blocks under active device-DMA to a new file.
- DAX arranges for the block layer to be bypassed and uses
dax_direct_access() + copy_to_iter() to satisfy read(2) calls.
However, the memcpy_mcsafe() facility is available through the pmem
block driver. In order to safely handle media errors, via the DAX
block-layer bypass, introduce copy_to_iter_mcsafe().
- Fix cache management policy relative to the ACPI NFIT Platform
Capabilities Structure to properly elide cache flushes when they
are not necessary. The table indicates whether CPU caches are
power-fail protected. Clarify that a deep flush is always performed
on REQ_{FUA,PREFLUSH} requests"

In preparation for fixing dax-dma-vs-unmap issues, filesystems need to
be able to rely on the fact that they will get wakeups on dev_pagemap
page-idle events. Introduce MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX and
generic_dax_page_free() as common indicator / infrastructure for dax
filesytems to require. With this change there are no users of the
MEMORY_DEVICE_HOST designation, so remove it.
The HMM sub-system extended dev_pagemap to arrange a callback when a
dev_pagemap managed page is freed. Since a dev_pagemap page is free /
idle when its reference count is 1 it requires an additional branch to
check the page-type at put_page() time. Given put_page() is a hot-path
we do not want to incur that check if HMM is not in use, so a static
branch is used to avoid that overhead when not necessary.
Now, the FS_DAX implementation wants to reuse this mechanism for
receiving dev_pagemap ->page_free() callbacks. Rework the HMM-specific
static-key into a generic mechanism that either HMM or FS_DAX code paths
can enable.
For ARCH=um builds, and any other arch that lacks ZONE_DEVICE support,
care must be taken to compile out the DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS infrastructure.
However, we still need to support FS_DAX in the FS_DAX_LIMITED case
implemented by the s390/dcssblk driver.

It is unsafe to do virtual to physical translations before mm_init() is
called if struct page is needed in order to determine the memory section
number (see SECTION_IN_PAGE_FLAGS). This is because only in mm_init()
we initialize struct pages for all the allocated memory when deferred
struct pages are used.
My recent fix in commit c9e97a1997 ("mm: initialize pages on demand
during boot") exposed this problem, because it greatly reduced number of
pages that are initialized before mm_init(), but the problem existed
even before my fix, as Fengguang Wu found.
Below is a more detailed explanation of the problem.
We initialize struct pages in four places:
1. Early in boot a small set of struct pages is initialized to fill the
first section, and lower zones.
2. During mm_init() we initialize "struct pages" for all the memory that
is allocated, i.e reserved in memblock.
3. Using on-demand logic when pages are allocated after mm_init call
(when memblock is finished)
4. After smp_init() when the rest free deferred pages are initialized.
The problem occurs if we try to do va to phys translation of a memory
between steps 1 and 2. Because we have not yet initialized struct pages
for all the reserved pages, it is inherently unsafe to do va to phys if
the translation itself requires access of "struct page" as in case of
this combination: CONFIG_SPARSE && !CONFIG_SPARSE_VMEMMAP
The following path exposes the problem:
start_kernel()
trap_init()
setup_cpu_entry_areas()
setup_cpu_entry_area(cpu)
get_cpu_gdt_paddr(cpu)
per_cpu_ptr_to_phys(addr)
pcpu_addr_to_page(addr)
virt_to_page(addr)
pfn_to_page(__pa(addr) >> PAGE_SHIFT)
We disable this path by not allowing NEED_PER_CPU_KM with deferred
struct pages feature.
The problems are discussed in these threads:

HMM (heterogeneous memory management) need struct page to support
migration from system main memory to device memory. Reasons for HMM and
migration to device memory is explained with HMM core patch.
This patch deals with device memory that is un-addressable memory (ie CPU
can not access it). Hence we do not want those struct page to be manage
like regular memory. That is why we extend ZONE_DEVICE to support
different types of memory.
A persistent memory type is define for existing user of ZONE_DEVICE and a
new device un-addressable type is added for the un-addressable memory
type. There is a clear separation between what is expected from each
memory type and existing user of ZONE_DEVICE are un-affected by new
requirement and new use of the un-addressable type. All specific code
path are protect with test against the memory type.
Because memory is un-addressable we use a new special swap type for when a
page is migrated to device memory (this reduces the number of maximum swap
file).
The main two additions beside memory type to ZONE_DEVICE is two callbacks.
First one, page_free() is call whenever page refcount reach 1 (which
means the page is free as ZONE_DEVICE page never reach a refcount of 0).
This allow device driver to manage its memory and associated struct page.
The second callback page_fault() happens when there is a CPU access to an
address that is back by a device page (which are un-addressable by the
CPU). This callback is responsible to migrate the page back to system
main memory. Device driver can not block migration back to system memory,
HMM make sure that such page can not be pin into device memory.
If device is in some error condition and can not migrate memory back then
a CPU page fault to device memory should end with SIGBUS.

Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.
This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.
As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

No, KASAN may not be able to co-exist with HOTPLUG_MEMORY at runtime,
but for build testing there is no reason not to allow them together.
This hopefully means better build coverage and fewer embarrasing silly
problems like the one fixed by commit 9db4f36e82 ("mm: remove unused
variable in memory hotplug") in the future.

Per the suggestion from Michal Hocko [1], DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT
requires some ordering wrt other initialization operations, e.g.
page_ext_init has to happen after the whole memmap is initialized
properly.
For SPARSEMEM this requires to wait for page_alloc_init_late. Other
memory models (e.g. flatmem) might have different initialization
layouts (page_ext_init_flatmem). Currently DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT
depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG which in turn
depends on SPARSEMEM || X86_64_ACPI_NUMA
depends on ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG
and X86_64_ACPI_NUMA depends on NUMA which in turn disable FLATMEM
memory model:
config ARCH_FLATMEM_ENABLE
def_bool y
depends on X86_32 && !NUMA
so FLATMEM is ruled out via dependency maze. Be explicit and disable
FLATMEM for DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT so that we do not reintroduce
subtle initialization bugs

I've been receiving increasingly concerned notes from 0day about how
much my recent changes have been bloating the radix tree. Make it
happier by only including multiorder support if
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGES is set.
This is an independent Kconfig option, so other radix tree users can
also set it if they have a need.

This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing
compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages
per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher
compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its
predecessor.
This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux
Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these
discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page
allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher
compression ratio.
To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always
stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store
up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the
compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x.
The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree.
This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g.
ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on
comments from Dan Streetman [3].

This patchset continues the work I started with commit 31bc3858ea
("memory-hotplug: add automatic onlining policy for the newly added
memory").
Initially I was going to stop there and bring the policy setting logic
to userspace. I met two issues on this way:
1) It is possible to have memory hotplugged at boot (e.g. with QEMU).
These blocks stay offlined if we turn the onlining policy on by
userspace.
2) My attempt to bring this policy setting to systemd failed, systemd
maintainers suggest to change the default in kernel or ... to use
tmpfiles.d to alter the policy (which looks like a hack to me):
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/2938
Here I suggest to add a config option to set the default value for the
policy and a kernel command line parameter to make the override.
This patch (of 2):
Introduce config option to set the default value for memory hotplug
onlining policy (/sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks). The
reason one would want to turn this option on are to have early onlining
for hotpluggable memory available at boot and to not require any
userspace actions to make memory hotplug work.

Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).
There's a background article at LWN.net:
https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/
The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
user-controllable permission masks in the pte. So instead of having a
fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
virtual memory range.
This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions. It also
allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
below).
This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
if a user-space application calls:
mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);
or
mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);
(note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
memory range. It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
and unwritable.
So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
PROT_READ as well. Unreadable executable mappings have security
advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.
We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.
There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
pull request.
Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
(CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
(like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment. If there's
any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
flip the default"

The primary use case for devm_memremap_pages() is to allocate an memmap
array from persistent memory. That capabilty requires vmem_altmap which
requires SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.
Also, without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP the addition of ZONE_DEVICE expands
ZONES_WIDTH and triggers the:
"Unfortunate NUMA and NUMA Balancing config, growing page-frame for
last_cpupid."
...warning in mm/memory.c. SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=n && ZONE_DEVICE=y is not
a configuration we should worry about supporting.

ZONE_DEVICE (merged in 4.3) and ZONE_CMA (proposed) are examples of new
mm zones that are bumping up against the current maximum limit of 4
zones, i.e. 2 bits in page->flags for the GFP_ZONE_TABLE.
The GFP_ZONE_TABLE poses an interesting constraint since
include/linux/gfp.h gets included by the 32-bit portion of a 64-bit
build. We need to be careful to only build the table for zones that
have a corresponding gfp_t flag. GFP_ZONES_SHIFT is introduced for this
purpose. This patch does not attempt to solve the problem of adding a
new zone that also has a corresponding GFP_ flag.
Vlastimil points out that ZONE_DEVICE, by depending on x86_64 and
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP implies that SECTIONS_WIDTH is zero. In other words
even though ZONE_DEVICE does not fit in GFP_ZONE_TABLE it is free to
consume another bit in page->flags (expand ZONES_WIDTH) with room to
spare.
