apply_to_page_range() takes an address range, and if any parts of it are
not covered by the existing page table hierarchy, it allocates memory to
fill them in.
In some use cases, this is not what we want - we want to be able to
operate exclusively on PTEs that are already in the tables.
Add apply_to_existing_page_range() for this. Adjust the walker
functions for apply_to_page_range to take 'create', which switches them
between the old and new modes.
This will be used in KASAN vmalloc.

The problem occurs because kmem_cache_destroy() is called immediately
after deleting of a memcg, so it races with the memcg kmem_cache
deactivation.
flush_memcg_workqueue() at the beginning of kmem_cache_destroy() is
supposed to guarantee that all deactivation processes are finished, but
failed to do so. It waits for an rcu grace period, after which all
children kmem_caches should be deactivated. During the deactivation
percpu_ref_kill() is called for non root kmem_cache refcounters, but it
requires yet another rcu grace period to finish the transition to the
atomic (dead) state.
So in a rare case when not all children kmem_caches are destroyed at the
moment when the root kmem_cache is about to be gone, we need to wait
another rcu grace period before destroying the root kmem_cache.
This issue can be triggered only with dynamically created kmem_caches
which are used with memcg accounting. In this case per-memcg child
kmem_caches are created. They are deactivated from the cgroup removing
path. If the destruction of the root kmem_cache is racing with the
removal of the cgroup (both are quite complicated multi-stage
processes), the described issue can occur. The only known way to
trigger it in the real life, is to unload some kernel module which
creates a dedicated kmem_cache, used from different memory cgroups with
GFP_ACCOUNT flag. If the unloading happens immediately after calling
rmdir on the corresponding cgroup, there is some chance to trigger the
issue.

If a block device supports rw_page operation, it doesn't submit bios so

happens with zram in android, especially swap read path which could
consume CPU cycle for decompress. It is also a problem for zswap which

Annotate swap_readpage() to account the synchronous IO overhead to

The shmem_writepage() uses GFP_ATOMIC to allocate swap cache. GFP_ATOMIC
used to mean __GFP_HIGH, but now it means __GFP_HIGH | __GFP_ATOMIC |
__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. However, shmem_writepage() should write out to swap
only in response to memory pressure, so __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM looks useless
since the caller may be kswapd itself or in direct reclaim already.
In addition, XArray node allocations from PF_MEMALLOC contexts could
completely exhaust the page allocator, __GFP_NOMEMALLOC stops emergency
reserves from being allocated.
Here just copy the gfp flags used by add_to_swap().
Hugh:
"a cleanup to make the two calls look the same when they don't need to
be different (whereas the call from __read_swap_cache_async() rightly
uses a lower priority gfp)".

In auto NUMA balancing page table scanning, if the pte_protnone() is
true, the PTE needs not to be changed because it's in target state
already. So other checking on corresponding struct page is unnecessary
too.
So, if we check pte_protnone() firstly for each PTE, we can avoid
unnecessary struct page accessing, so that reduce the cache footprint of
NUMA balancing page table scanning.
In the performance test of pmbench memory accessing benchmark with 80:20
read/write ratio and normal access address distribution on a 2 socket
Intel server with Optance DC Persistent Memory, perf profiling shows
that the autonuma page table scanning time reduces from 1.23% to 0.97%
(that is, reduced 21%) with the patch.

When zone_watermark_ok() is called in migrate_balanced_pgdat() to check
migration target node, the parameter classzone_idx (for requested zone)
is specified as 0 (ZONE_DMA). But when allocating memory for autonuma
in alloc_misplaced_dst_page(), the requested zone from GFP flags is
ZONE_MOVABLE. That is, the requested zone is different. The size of
lowmem_reserve for the different requested zone is different. And this
may cause some issues.
For example, in the zoneinfo of a test machine as below,
Node 0, zone DMA32
pages free 61592
min 29
low 454
high 879
spanned 1044480
present 442306
managed 425921
protection: (0, 0, 62457, 62457, 62457)
The free page number of ZONE_DMA32 is greater than "high watermark +
lowmem_reserve[ZONE_DMA]", but less than "high watermark +
lowmem_reserve[ZONE_MOVABLE]". And because __alloc_pages_node() in
alloc_misplaced_dst_page() requests ZONE_MOVABLE, the
zone_watermark_ok() on ZONE_DMA32 in migrate_balanced_pgdat() may always
return true. So, autonuma may not stop even when memory pressure in
node 0 is heavy.
To fix the issue, ZONE_MOVABLE is used as parameter to call
zone_watermark_ok() in migrate_balanced_pgdat(). This makes it same as
requested zone in alloc_misplaced_dst_page(). So that
migrate_balanced_pgdat() returns false when memory pressure is heavy.

When mmapping an existing hugetlbfs file with MAP_POPULATE, we find it
is very time consuming. For example, mmapping a 128GB file takes about
50 milliseconds. Sampling with perfevent shows it spends 99% time in
the same_page loop in follow_hugetlb_page().

follow_hugetlb_page() is called with pages=NULL and vmas=NULL, so for
each hugepage, we run into the same_page loop for pages_per_huge_page()
times, but doing nothing. With this change, it takes less then 1
millisecond to mmap a 128GB file in hugetlbfs.

Current behavior is that region_chg provides both a cache entry in
resv->region_cache, AND a placeholder entry in resv->regions.
region_add first tries to use the placeholder, and if it finds that the
placeholder has been deleted by a racing region_del call, it uses the
cache entry.
This behavior is completely unnecessary and is removed in this patch for
a couple of reasons:
1. region_add needs to either find a cached file_region entry in
resv->region_cache, or find an entry in resv->regions to expand. It
does not need both.
2. region_chg adding a placeholder entry in resv->regions opens up
a possible race with region_del, where region_chg adds a placeholder
region in resv->regions, and this region is deleted by a racing call
to region_del during region_chg execution or before region_add is
called. Removing the race makes the code easier to reason about and
maintain.
In addition, a follow up patch in another series that disables region
coalescing, which would be further complicated if the race with
region_del exists.

A customer with large SMP systems (up to 16 sockets) with application
that uses large amount of static hugepages (~500-1500GB) are
experiencing random multisecond delays. These delays were caused by the
long time it took to scan the VMA interval tree with mmap_sem held.
The sharing of huge PMD does not require changes to the i_mmap at all.
Therefore, we can just take the read lock and let other threads
searching for the right VMA share it in parallel. Once the right VMA is
found, either the PMD lock (2M huge page for x86-64) or the
mm->page_table_lock will be acquired to perform the actual PMD sharing.
Lock contention, if present, will happen in the spinlock. That is much
better than contention in the rwsem where the time needed to scan the
the interval tree is indeterminate.
With this patch applied, the customer is seeing significant performance
improvement over the unpatched kernel.

sparse_buffer_init() use memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw() to allocate memory
for page management structure, if memory allocation fails from specified
node, it will fall back to allocate from other nodes.
Normally, the page management structure will not exceed 2% of the total
memory, but a large continuous block of allocation is needed. In most
cases, memory allocation from the specified node will succeed, but a
node memory become highly fragmented will fail. we expect to allocate
memory base section rather than by allocating a large block of memory
from other NUMA nodes
Add memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw() for this situation, which allocate
boot memory block on the exact node. If a large contiguous block memory
allocate fail in sparse_buffer_init(), it will fall back to allocate
small block memory base section.

mbind() is required to report EFAULT if range, specified by addr and
len, contains unmapped holes. In current implementation, below rules
are applied for this checking:
1: Unmapped holes at any part of the specified range should be reported
as EFAULT if mbind() for none MPOL_DEFAULT cases;
2: Unmapped holes at any part of the specified range should be ignored
(do not reprot EFAULT) if mbind() for MPOL_DEFAULT case;
3: The whole range in an unmapped hole should be reported as EFAULT;
Note that rule 2 does not fullfill the mbind() API definition, but since
that behavior has existed for long days (the internal flag
MPOL_MF_DISCONTIG_OK is for this purpose), this patch does not plan to
change it.
In current code, application observed inconsistent behavior on rule 1
and rule 2 respectively. That inconsistency is fixed as below details.
Cases of rule 1:
- Hole at head side of range. Current code reprot EFAULT, no change by
this patch.
[ vma ][ hole ][ vma ]
[ range ]
- Hole at middle of range. Current code report EFAULT, no change by
this patch.
[ vma ][ hole ][ vma ]
[ range ]
- Hole at tail side of range. Current code do not report EFAULT, this
patch fixes it.
[ vma ][ hole ][ vma ]
[ range ]
Cases of rule 2:
- Hole at head side of range. Current code reports EFAULT, this patch
fixes it.
[ vma ][ hole ][ vma ]
[ range ]
- Hole at middle of range. Current code does not report EFAULT, no

[ range ]
- Hole at tail side of range. Current code does not report EFAULT, no

[ vma ][ hole ][ vma]
[ range ]
This patch has no changes to rule 3.
The unmapped hole checking can also be handled by using .pte_hole(),
instead of .test_walk(). But .pte_hole() is called for holes inside and
outside vma, which causes more cost, so this patch keeps the original
design with .test_walk().

Patch series "mm: Fix checking unmapped holes for mbind", v4.
This patchset fix checking unmapped holes for mbind().
First patch makes sure the vma been correctly tracked in .test_walk(),
so each time when .test_walk() is called, the neighborhood of two vma
is correct.
Current problem is that the !vma_migratable() check could cause return
immediately without update tracking to vma.
Second patch fix the inconsistent report of EFAULT when mbind() is
called for MPOL_DEFAULT and non MPOL_DEFAULT cases, so application do
not need to have workaround code to handle this special behavior.
Currently there are two problems, one is that the .test_walk() can not
know there is hole at tail side of range, because .test_walk() only
call for vma not for hole. The other one is that mbind_range() checks
for hole at head side of range but do not consider the
MPOL_MF_DISCONTIG_OK flag as done in .test_walk().
This patch (of 2):
Checking unmapped hole and updating the previous vma must be handled
first, otherwise the unmapped hole could be calculated from a wrong
previous vma.
Several commits were relevant to this error:
- commit 6f4576e368 ("mempolicy: apply page table walker on
queue_pages_range()")
This commit was correct, the VM_PFNMAP check was after updating
previous vma
- commit 48684a65b4 ("mm: pagewalk: fix misbehavior of
walk_page_range for vma(VM_PFNMAP)")
This commit added VM_PFNMAP check before updating previous vma. Then,
there were two VM_PFNMAP check did same thing twice.
- commit acda0c3340 ("mm/mempolicy.c: get rid of duplicated check for
vma(VM_PFNMAP) in queue_page s_range()")
This commit tried to fix the duplicated VM_PFNMAP check, but it
wrongly removed the one which was after updating vma.

We split the LRU lists into inactive and an active parts to maximize
workingset protection while allowing just enough inactive cache space to
faciltate readahead and writeback for one-off file accesses (e.g. a
linear scan through a file, or logging); or just enough inactive anon to
maintain recent reference information when reclaim needs to swap.
With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this
correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU
order among the pages of all involved cgroups, inactive:active size
decisions are done on a per-cgroup level. As a result, we'll reclaim a
cgroup's workingset when it doesn't have cold pages, even when one of its
siblings has plenty of it that should be reclaimed first.
For example: workload A has 50M worth of hot cache but doesn't do any
one-off file accesses; meanwhile, parallel workload B scans files and
rarely accesses the same page twice.
If these workloads were to run in an uncgrouped system, A would be
protected from the high rate of cache faults from B. But if they were put
in parallel cgroups for memory accounting purposes, B's fast cache fault
rate would push out the hot cache pages of A. This is unexpected and
undesirable - the "scan resistance" of the page cache is broken.
This patch moves inactive:active size balancing decisions to the root of
reclaim - the same level where the LRU order is established.
It does this by looking at the recursive size of the inactive and the
active file sets of the cgroup subtree at the beginning of the reclaim
cycle, and then making a decision - scan or skip active pages - that
applies throughout the entire run and to every cgroup involved.
With that in place, in the test above, the VM will recognize that there
are plenty of inactive pages in the combined cache set of workloads A and
B and prefer the one-off cache in B over the hot pages in A. The scan
resistance of the cache is restored.
