"It adds mutual exclusion between list_add_rcu and list_del_rcu calls

worse."
Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
"This is mostly updates of the usual suspects: lpfc, qla2xxx, hisi_sas,
megaraid_sas, zfcp and a host of minor updates.
The major driver change here is the elimination of the block based
cciss driver in favour of the SCSI based hpsa driver (which now drives
all the legacy cases cciss used to be required for). Plus a reset
handler clean up and the redo of the SAS SMP handler to use bsg lib"

Pull secureexec update from Kees Cook:
"This series has the ultimate goal of providing a sane stack rlimit
when running set*id processes.
To do this, the bprm_secureexec LSM hook is collapsed into the
bprm_set_creds hook so the secureexec-ness of an exec can be
determined early enough to make decisions about rlimits and the
resulting memory layouts. Other logic acting on the secureexec-ness of
an exec is similarly consolidated. Capabilities needed some special
handling, but the refactoring removed other special handling, so that
was a wash"

After commit 0ddf3fb2c4 ("udp: preserve skb->dst if required
for IP options processing") we clear the skb head state as soon
as the skb carrying them is first processed.
Since the same skb can be processed several times when MSG_PEEK
is used, we can end up lacking the required head states, and
eventually oopsing.
Fix this clearing the skb head state only when processing the
last skb reference.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Nothing really major this release, despite quite a lot of activity.
Just lots of things all over the place.
Some things of note include:
- Access via perf to a new type of PMU (IMC) on Power9, which can
count both core events as well as nest unit events (Memory
controller etc).
- Optimisations to the radix MMU TLB flushing, mostly to avoid
unnecessary Page Walk Cache (PWC) flushes when the structure of the
tree is not changing.
- Reworks/cleanups of do_page_fault() to modernise it and bring it
closer to other architectures where possible.
- Rework of our page table walking so that THP updates only need to
send IPIs to CPUs where the affected mm has run, rather than all
CPUs.
- The size of our vmalloc area is increased to 56T on 64-bit hash MMU
systems. This avoids problems with the percpu allocator on systems
with very sparse NUMA layouts.
- STRICT_KERNEL_RWX support on PPC32.
- A new sched domain topology for Power9, to capture the fact that
pairs of cores may share an L2 cache.
- Power9 support for VAS, which is a new mechanism for accessing
coprocessors, and initial support for using it with the NX
compression accelerator.
- Major work on the instruction emulation support, adding support for
many new instructions, and reworking it so it can be used to
implement the emulation needed to fixup alignment faults.
- Support for guests under PowerVM to use the Power9 XIVE interrupt
controller.
And probably that many things again that are almost as interesting,
but I had to keep the list short. Plus the usual fixes and cleanups as
always.

Cpusets vs. suspend-resume is _completely_ broken. And it got noticed
because it now resulted in non-cpuset usage breaking too.
On suspend cpuset_cpu_inactive() doesn't call into
cpuset_update_active_cpus() because it doesn't want to move tasks about,
there is no need, all tasks are frozen and won't run again until after
we've resumed everything.
But this means that when we finally do call into
cpuset_update_active_cpus() after resuming the last frozen cpu in
cpuset_cpu_active(), the top_cpuset will not have any difference with
the cpu_active_mask and this it will not in fact do _anything_.
So the cpuset configuration will not be restored. This was largely
hidden because we would unconditionally create identity domains and
mobile users would not in fact use cpusets much. And servers what do use
cpusets tend to not suspend-resume much.
An addition problem is that we'd not in fact wait for the cpuset work to
finish before resuming the tasks, allowing spurious migrations outside
of the specified domains.
Fix the rebuild by introducing cpuset_force_rebuild() and fix the
ordering with cpuset_wait_for_hotplug().

Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of changes for percpu this time around. percpu inherited the
same area allocator from the original pre-virtual-address-mapped
implementation. This was from the time when percpu allocator wasn't
used all that much and the implementation was focused on simplicity,
with the unfortunate computational complexity of O(number of areas
allocated from the chunk) per alloc / free.
With the increase in percpu usage, we're hitting cases where the lack
of scalability is hurting. The most prominent one right now is bpf
perpcu map creation / destruction which may allocate and free a lot of
entries consecutively and it's likely that the problem will become
more prominent in the future.
To address the issue, Dennis replaced the area allocator with hinted
bitmap allocator which is more consistent. While the new allocator
does perform a bit worse in some cases, it outperforms the old
allocator way more than an order of magnitude in other more common
scenarios while staying mostly flat in CPU overhead and completely
flat in memory consumption"

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:

Huge page helps to reduce TLB miss rate, but it has higher cache
footprint, sometimes this may cause some issue. For example, when
clearing huge page on x86_64 platform, the cache footprint is 2M. But
on a Xeon E5 v3 2699 CPU, there are 18 cores, 36 threads, and only 45M
LLC (last level cache). That is, in average, there are 2.5M LLC for
each core and 1.25M LLC for each thread.
If the cache pressure is heavy when clearing the huge page, and we clear
the huge page from the begin to the end, it is possible that the begin
of huge page is evicted from the cache after we finishing clearing the
end of the huge page. And it is possible for the application to access
the begin of the huge page after clearing the huge page.
To help the above situation, in this patch, when we clear a huge page,
the order to clear sub-pages is changed. In quite some situation, we
can get the address that the application will access after we clear the
huge page, for example, in a page fault handler. Instead of clearing
the huge page from begin to end, we will clear the sub-pages farthest
from the the sub-page to access firstly, and clear the sub-page to
access last. This will make the sub-page to access most cache-hot and
sub-pages around it more cache-hot too. If we cannot know the address
the application will access, the begin of the huge page is assumed to be
the the address the application will access.
With this patch, the throughput increases ~28.3% in vm-scalability
anon-w-seq test case with 72 processes on a 2 socket Xeon E5 v3 2699
system (36 cores, 72 threads). The test case creates 72 processes, each
process mmap a big anonymous memory area and writes to it from the begin
to the end. 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 ~33.4% to ~31.7%, the IPC (instruction per
cycle) increased from 0.56 to 0.74, and the time spent in user space is
reduced ~7.9%
Christopher Lameter suggests to clear bytes inside a sub-page from end
to begin too. But tests show no visible performance difference in the
tests. May because the size of page is small compared with the cache
size.
Thanks Andi Kleen to propose to use address to access to determine the
order of sub-pages to clear.
The hugetlbfs access address could be improved, will do that in another
patch.

This is purely required because exit_aio() may block and exit_mmap() may
never start, if the oom_reap_task cannot start running on a mm with
mm_users == 0.
At the same time if the OOM reaper doesn't wait at all for the memory of
the current OOM candidate to be freed by exit_mmap->unmap_vmas, it would
generate a spurious OOM kill.
If it wasn't because of the exit_aio or similar blocking functions in
the last mmput, it would be enough to change the oom_reap_task() in the
case it finds mm_users == 0, to wait for a timeout or to wait for
__mmput to set MMF_OOM_SKIP itself, but it's not just exit_mmap the
problem here so the concurrency of exit_mmap and oom_reap_task is
apparently warranted.
It's a non standard runtime, exit_mmap() runs without mmap_sem, and
oom_reap_task runs with the mmap_sem for reading as usual (kind of
MADV_DONTNEED).
The race between the two is solved with a combination of
tsk_is_oom_victim() (serialized by task_lock) and MMF_OOM_SKIP
(serialized by a dummy down_write/up_write cycle on the same lines of
the ksm_exit method).
If the oom_reap_task() may be running concurrently during exit_mmap,
exit_mmap will wait it to finish in down_write (before taking down mm
structures that would make the oom_reap_task fail with use after free).
If exit_mmap comes first, oom_reap_task() will skip the mm if
MMF_OOM_SKIP is already set and in turn all memory is already freed and
furthermore the mm data structures may already have been taken down by
free_pgtables.

If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node
information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap
device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance.
The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous
single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each
numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap
devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's
swap_avail_list.
The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value,
or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The
priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap
device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy
doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous
starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.
Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are
available, each sit on a different node:
swapA on node 0
swapB on node 1
swapC on node 2
swapD on node 3
After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD.
Current behaviour:
their priorities will be:
swapA: -1
swapB: -2
swapC: -3
swapD: -4
And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be:
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
New behaviour:
their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
swapA: -2
swapB: -3
swapC: -4
swapD: -5
And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */
swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap
a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random
position to trigger both swap in and out is used.
On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives
are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the
result is:
runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G
kernel throughput
vanilla 13306
auto-binding 15169 +14%

VMA based swap readahead will readahead the virtual pages that is
continuous in the virtual address space. While the original swap
readahead will readahead the swap slots that is continuous in the swap
device. Although VMA based swap readahead is more correct for the swap
slots to be readahead, it will trigger more small random readings, which
may cause the performance of HDD (hard disk) to degrade heavily, and may
finally exceed the benefit.
To avoid the issue, in this patch, if the HDD is used as swap, the VMA
based swap readahead will be disabled, and the original swap readahead
will be used instead.

The swap readahead is an important mechanism to reduce the swap in
latency. Although pure sequential memory access pattern isn't very
popular for anonymous memory, the space locality is still considered
valid.
In the original swap readahead implementation, the consecutive blocks in
swap device are readahead based on the global space locality estimation.
But the consecutive blocks in swap device just reflect the order of page
reclaiming, don't necessarily reflect the access pattern in virtual
memory. And the different tasks in the system may have different access
patterns, which makes the global space locality estimation incorrect.
In this patch, when page fault occurs, the virtual pages near the fault
address will be readahead instead of the swap slots near the fault swap
slot in swap device. This avoid to readahead the unrelated swap slots.
At the same time, the swap readahead is changed to work on per-VMA from
globally. So that the different access patterns of the different VMAs
could be distinguished, and the different readahead policy could be
applied accordingly. The original core readahead detection and scaling
algorithm is reused, because it is an effect algorithm to detect the
space locality.
The test and result is as follow,
Common test condition
=====================
Test Machine: Xeon E5 v3 (2 sockets, 72 threads, 32G RAM) Swap device:
NVMe disk
Micro-benchmark with combined access pattern
============================================
vm-scalability, sequential swap test case, 4 processes to eat 50G
virtual memory space, repeat the sequential memory writing until 300
seconds. The first round writing will trigger swap out, the following
rounds will trigger sequential swap in and out.
At the same time, run vm-scalability random swap test case in
background, 8 processes to eat 30G virtual memory space, repeat the
random memory write until 300 seconds. This will trigger random swap-in
in the background.
This is a combined workload with sequential and random memory accessing
at the same time. The result (for sequential workload) is as follow,
Base Optimized
---- ---------
throughput 345413 KB/s 414029 KB/s (+19.9%)
latency.average 97.14 us 61.06 us (-37.1%)

latency.95th 346 us 369 us
latency.99th 1.34 ms 1.09 ms
ra_hit% 52.69% 99.98%
The original swap readahead algorithm is confused by the background
random access workload, so readahead hit rate is lower. The VMA-base
readahead algorithm works much better.

The test memory size is bigger than RAM to trigger swapping.
Base Optimized
---- ---------
elapsed_time 393.49 s 329.88 s (-16.2%)
ra_hit% 86.21% 98.82%
The score of base and optimized kernel hasn't visible changes. But the
elapsed time reduced and readahead hit rate improved, so the optimized
kernel runs better for startup and tear down stages. And the absolute
value of readahead hit rate is high, shows that the space locality is
still valid in some practical workloads.

Patch series "mm, swap: VMA based swap readahead", v4.
The swap readahead is an important mechanism to reduce the swap in
latency. Although pure sequential memory access pattern isn't very
popular for anonymous memory, the space locality is still considered
valid.
In the original swap readahead implementation, the consecutive blocks in
swap device are readahead based on the global space locality estimation.
But the consecutive blocks in swap device just reflect the order of page
reclaiming, don't necessarily reflect the access pattern in virtual
memory space. And the different tasks in the system may have different
access patterns, which makes the global space locality estimation
incorrect.
In this patchset, when page fault occurs, the virtual pages near the
fault address will be readahead instead of the swap slots near the fault
swap slot in swap device. This avoid to readahead the unrelated swap
slots. At the same time, the swap readahead is changed to work on
per-VMA from globally. So that the different access patterns of the
different VMAs could be distinguished, and the different readahead
policy could be applied accordingly. The original core readahead
detection and scaling algorithm is reused, because it is an effect
algorithm to detect the space locality.
In addition to the swap readahead changes, some new sysfs interface is
added to show the efficiency of the readahead algorithm and some other
swap statistics.
This new implementation will incur more small random read, on SSD, the
improved correctness of estimation and readahead target should beat the
potential increased overhead, this is also illustrated in the test
results below. But on HDD, the overhead may beat the benefit, so the
original implementation will be used by default.

This patch (of 5):
The statistics for total readahead pages and total readahead hits are
recorded and exported via the following sysfs interface.
/sys/kernel/mm/swap/ra_hits
/sys/kernel/mm/swap/ra_total
With them, the efficiency of the swap readahead could be measured, so
that the swap readahead algorithm and parameters could be tuned
accordingly.

The normal swap slot reclaiming can be done when the swap count reaches
SWAP_HAS_CACHE. But for the swap slot which is backing a THP, all swap
slots backing one THP must be reclaimed together, because the swap slot
may be used again when the THP is swapped out again later. So the swap
slots backing one THP can be reclaimed together when the swap count for
all swap slots for the THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE. In the patch, the
functions to check whether the swap count for all swap slots backing one
THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE are implemented and used when checking
whether a swap slot can be reclaimed.
To make it easier to determine whether a swap slot is backing a THP, a
new swap cluster flag named CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE is added to mark a swap
cluster which is backing a THP (Transparent Huge Page). Because THP
swap in as a whole isn't supported now. After deleting the THP from the
swap cache (for example, swapping out finished), the CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE
flag will be cleared. So that, the normal pages inside THP can be
swapped in individually.
