MAINTAINERS: list the section entries in the preferred order
The MAINTAINERS file header has never shown a preferred order for the
section entries but scripts/parse-maintainers.pl added a preferred order
with commit f3e533273e16 ("parse-maintainers: Add section pattern
sorting")
Commit c38aaff9719a ("parse-maintainers: Do not sort section content by
default") changed the preferred order to be a bit more sensible.
Update the MAINTAINERS section description block to use this preferred
section entry ordering.
Add a slightly better description for the N: entry too.
compiletime_assert() uses __LINE__ to create a unique function name. This
means that if you have more than one BUILD_BUG_ON() in the same source
line (which can happen if they appear e.g. in a macro), then the error
message from the compiler might output the wrong condition.
./include/linux/compiler.h:350:38: error: call to `__compiletime_assert_9' declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG_ON failed: 0
_compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __LINE__)
However, it was not the BUILD_BUG_ON(0) that failed, so it should say 1
instead of 0. With this patch, we use __COUNTER__ instead of __LINE__, so
each BUILD_BUG_ON() gets a different function name and the correct
condition is printed:

The code, #undef CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING, is not working as expected
because <linux/compiler_types.h> is parsed before vclock_gettime.c since 9bc09c376caa ("kconfig.h: Include compiler types to avoid missed struct
attributes").
Since then, <linux/compiler_types.h> is included really early by using the
'-include' option. So, you cannot negate the decision of
<linux/compiler_types.h> in this way.
You can confirm it by checking the pre-processed code, like this:
$ make arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32/vclock_gettime.i
There is no difference with/without CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.
It is about two years since 9bc09c376caa. Nobody has reported a problem
(or, nobody has even noticed the fact that this code is not working).
It is ugly and unreliable to attempt to undefine a CONFIG option from C
files, and anyway the inlining heuristic is up to the compiler.
Just remove the broken code.

mm/zswap: allow setting default status, compressor and allocator in Kconfig
The compressed cache for swap pages (zswap) currently needs from 1 to 3
extra kernel command line parameters in order to make it work: it has to
be enabled by adding a "zswap.enabled=1" command line parameter and if one
wants a different compressor or pool allocator than the default lzo / zbud
combination then these choices also need to be specified on the kernel
command line in additional parameters.
Using a different compressor and allocator for zswap is actually pretty
common as guides often recommend using the lz4 / z3fold pair instead of
the default one. In such case it is also necessary to remember to enable
the appropriate compression algorithm and pool allocator in the kernel
config manually.
Let's avoid the need for adding these kernel command line parameters and
automatically pull in the dependencies for the selected compressor
algorithm and pool allocator by adding an appropriate default switches to
Kconfig.
The default values for these options match what the code was using
previously as its defaults.

mm: huge tmpfs: try to split_huge_page() when punching hole
Yang Shi writes:
Currently, when truncating a shmem file, if the range is partly in a THP
(start or end is in the middle of THP), the pages actually will just get
cleared rather than being freed, unless the range covers the whole THP.
Even though all the subpages are truncated (randomly or sequentially), the
THP may still be kept in page cache.
This might be fine for some usecases which prefer preserving THP, but
balloon inflation is handled in base page size. So when using shmem THP
as memory backend, QEMU inflation actually doesn't work as expected since
it doesn't free memory. But the inflation usecase really needs to get the
memory freed. (Anonymous THP will also not get freed right away, but will
be freed eventually when all subpages are unmapped: whereas shmem THP
still stays in page cache.)
Split THP right away when doing partial hole punch, and if split fails
just clear the page so that read of the punched area will return zeroes.
Hugh Dickins adds:
Our earlier "team of pages" huge tmpfs implementation worked in the way
that Yang Shi proposes; and we have been using this patch to continue to
split the huge page when hole-punched or truncated, since converting over
to the compound page implementation. Although huge tmpfs gives out huge
pages when available, if the user specifically asks to truncate or punch a
hole (perhaps to free memory, perhaps to reduce the memcg charge), then
the filesystem should do so as best it can, splitting the huge page.
That is not always possible: any additional reference to the huge page
prevents split_huge_page() from succeeding, so the result can be flaky.
But in practice it works successfully enough that we've not seen any
problem from that.
Add shmem_punch_compound() to encapsulate the decision of when a split is
needed, and doing the split if so. Using this simplifies the flow in
shmem_undo_range(); and the first (trylock) pass does not need to do any
page clearing on failure, because the second pass will either succeed or
do that clearing. Following the example of zero_user_segment() when
clearing a partial page, add flush_dcache_page() and set_page_dirty() when
clearing a hole - though I'm not certain that either is needed.
But: split_huge_page() would be sure to fail if shmem_undo_range()'s
pagevec holds further references to the huge page. The easiest way to fix
that is for find_get_entries() to return early, as soon as it has put one
compound head or tail into the pagevec. At first this felt like a hack;
but on examination, this convention better suits all its callers - or will
do, if the slight one-page-per-pagevec slowdown in shmem_unlock_mapping()
and shmem_seek_hole_data() is transformed into a 512-page-per-pagevec
speedup by checking for compound pages there.

mm/shmem.c: distribute switch variables for initialization
Variables declared in a switch statement before any case statements cannot
be automatically initialized with compiler instrumentation (as they are
not part of any execution flow). With GCC's proposed automatic stack
variable initialization feature, this triggers a warning (and they don't
get initialized). Clang's automatic stack variable initialization (via
CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL=y) doesn't throw a warning, but it also doesn't
initialize such variables[1]. Note that these warnings (or silent
skipping) happen before the dead-store elimination optimization phase, so
even when the automatic initializations are later elided in favor of
direct initializations, the warnings remain.
To avoid these problems, move such variables into the "case" where they're
used or lift them up into the main function body.

mm/memory_hotplug: allow to specify a default online_type
For now, distributions implement advanced udev rules to essentially
- Don't online any hotplugged memory (s390x)
- Online all memory to ZONE_NORMAL (e.g., most virt environments like
hyperv)
- Online all memory to ZONE_MOVABLE in case the zone imbalance is taken
care of (e.g., bare metal, special virt environments)
In summary: All memory is usually onlined the same way, however, the
kernel always has to ask user space to come up with the same answer.
E.g., Hyper-V always waits for a memory block to get onlined before
continuing, otherwise it might end up adding memory faster than
onlining it, which can result in strange OOM situations. This waiting
slows down adding of a bigger amount of memory.
Let's allow to specify a default online_type, not just "online" and
"offline". This allows distributions to configure the default online_type
when booting up and be done with it.
We can now specify "offline", "online", "online_movable" and
"online_kernel" via
- "memhp_default_state=" on the kernel cmdline
- /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks
just like we are able to specify for a single memory block via
/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/state

hv_balloon: don't check for memhp_auto_online manually
We get the MEM_ONLINE notifier call if memory is added right from the
kernel via add_memory() or later from user space.
Let's get rid of the "ha_waiting" flag - the wait event has an inbuilt
mechanism (->done) for that. Initialize the wait event only once and
reinitialize before adding memory. Unconditionally call complete() and
wait_for_completion_timeout().
If there are no waiters, complete() will only increment ->done - which
will be reset by reinit_completion(). If complete() has already been
called, wait_for_completion_timeout() will not wait.
There is still the chance for a small race between concurrent
reinit_completion() and complete(). If complete() wins, we would not wait
- which is tolerable (and the race exists in current code as well).
Note: We only wait for "some" memory to get onlined, which seems to be
good enough for now.

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: allow to specify a default online_type", v3.
Distributions nowadays use udev rules ([1] [2]) to specify if and how to
online hotplugged memory. The rules seem to get more complex with many
special cases. Due to the various special cases,
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE cannot be used. All memory hotplug
is handled via udev rules.
Every time we hotplug memory, the udev rule will come to the same
conclusion. Especially Hyper-V (but also soon virtio-mem) add a lot of
memory in separate memory blocks and wait for memory to get onlined by
user space before continuing to add more memory blocks (to not add memory
faster than it is getting onlined). This of course slows down the whole
memory hotplug process.
To make the job of distributions easier and to avoid udev rules that get
more and more complicated, let's extend the mechanism provided by
- /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks
- "memhp_default_state=" on the kernel cmdline

parsed from 'mem= ', then checked when memory region is added. This truly

drivers/base/memory.c: drop pages_correctly_probed()
pages_correctly_probed() is a leftover from ancient times. It dates back
to commit f4139dd75369 ("[PATCH] memory hotplug: sysfs and add/remove
functions"), where Pg_reserved checks were added as a sfety net:
/*
* The probe routines leave the pages reserved, just
* as the bootmem code does. Make sure they're still
* that way.
*/
The checks were refactored quite a bit over the years, especially in
commit 1616d8708e2f ("mm/memory_hotplug: optimize probe routine"), where
checks for present, valid, and online sections were added.
Hotplugged memory is added via add_memory(), which will create the full
memmap for the hotplugged memory, and mark all sections valid and present.
Only full memory blocks are onlined/offlined, so we also cannot have an
inconsistency in that regard (especially, memory blocks with some sections
being online and some being offline).
1. Boot memory always starts online. Since commit 5686a414587e
("mm/memory_hotplug.c: don't allow to online/offline memory blocks with
holes") we disallow to offline any memory with holes. Therefore, we
never online memory with holes. Present and validity checks are
superfluous.
2. Only complete memory blocks are onlined/offlined (and especially,
the state - online or offline - is stored for whole memory blocks).
Besides the core, only arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/memtrace.c
manually calls offline_pages() and fiddels with memory block states.
But it also only offlines complete memory blocks.
3. To make any of these conditions trigger, something would have to be
terribly messed up in the core. (e.g., online/offline only some
sections of a memory block).
4. Memory unplug properly makes sure that all sysfs attributes were
removed (and therefore, that all threads left the sysfs handlers). We
don't have to worry about zombie devices at this point.
5. The valid_section_nr(section_nr) check is actually dead code, as it
would never have been reached due to the WARN_ON_ONCE(!pfn_valid(pfn)).
No wonder we haven't seen any of these errors in a long time (or even
ever, according to my search). Let's just get rid of them. Now, all
checks that could hinder onlining and offlining are completely
contained in online_pages()/offline_pages().

Patch series "mm: drop superfluous section checks when onlining/offlining".
Let's drop some superfluous section checks on the onlining/offlining path.
This patch (of 3):
Since commit 5686a414587e ("mm/memory_hotplug.c: don't allow to
online/offline memory blocks with holes") we have a generic check in
offline_pages() that disallows offlining memory blocks with holes.
Memory blocks with missing sections are just another variant of these type
of blocks. We can stop checking (and especially storing) present
sections. A proper error message is now printed why offlining failed.
section_count was initially introduced in commit 60235cb0bd8a ("Driver
core: Add section count to memory_block struct") in order to detect when
it is okay to remove a memory block. It was used in commit 780635a25cd3
("drivers/base/memory.c: prohibit offlining of memory blocks with missing
sections") to disallow offlining memory blocks with missing sections. As
we refactored creation/removal of memory devices and have a proper check
for holes in place, we can drop the section_count.
This also removes a leftover comment regarding the mem_sysfs_mutex, which
was removed in commit 849e9be9ef2d ("drivers/base/memory.c: drop the
mem_sysfs_mutex").

userfaultfd: selftests: add write-protect test
Add uffd tests for write protection.
Instead of introducing new tests for it, let's simply squashing uffd-wp
tests into existing uffd-missing test cases. Changes are:
(1) Bouncing tests
We do the write-protection in two ways during the bouncing test:
- By using UFFDIO_COPY_MODE_WP when resolving MISSING pages: then
we'll make sure for each bounce process every single page will be
at least fault twice: once for MISSING, once for WP.
- By direct call UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT on existing faulted memories:
To further torture the explicit page protection procedures of
uffd-wp, we split each bounce procedure into two halves (in the
background thread): the first half will be MISSING+WP for each
page as explained above. After the first half, we write protect
the faulted region in the background thread to make sure at least
half of the pages will be write protected again which is the first
half to test the new UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT call. Then we continue
with the 2nd half, which will contain both MISSING and WP faulting
tests for the 2nd half and WP-only faults from the 1st half.
(2) Event/Signal test
Mostly previous tests but will do MISSING+WP for each page. For
sigbus-mode test we'll need to provide standalone path to handle the
write protection faults.
For all tests, do statistics as well for uffd-wp pages.

khugepaged: skip collapse if uffd-wp detected
Don't collapse the huge PMD if there is any userfault write protected

userfaultfd: wp: support swap and page migration
For either swap and page migration, we all use the bit 2 of the entry to
identify whether this entry is uffd write-protected. It plays a similar
role as the existing soft dirty bit in swap entries but only for keeping
the uffd-wp tracking for a specific PTE/PMD.
Something special here is that when we want to recover the uffd-wp bit
from a swap/migration entry to the PTE bit we'll also need to take care of
the _PAGE_RW bit and make sure it's cleared, otherwise even with the
_PAGE_UFFD_WP bit we can't trap it at all.
In change_pte_range() we do nothing for uffd if the PTE is a swap entry.
That can lead to data mismatch if the page that we are going to write
protect is swapped out when sending the UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT. This patch
also applies/removes the uffd-wp bit even for the swap entries.

userfaultfd: wp: apply _PAGE_UFFD_WP bit
Firstly, introduce two new flags MM_CP_UFFD_WP[_RESOLVE] for
change_protection() when used with uffd-wp and make sure the two new flags
are exclusively used. Then,
- For MM_CP_UFFD_WP: apply the _PAGE_UFFD_WP bit and remove _PAGE_RW
when a range of memory is write protected by uffd
- For MM_CP_UFFD_WP_RESOLVE: remove the _PAGE_UFFD_WP bit and recover
_PAGE_RW when write protection is resolved from userspace
And use this new interface in mwriteprotect_range() to replace the old
MM_CP_DIRTY_ACCT.
Do this change for both PTEs and huge PMDs. Then we can start to identify
which PTE/PMD is write protected by general (e.g., COW or soft dirty
tracking), and which is for userfaultfd-wp.
Since we should keep the _PAGE_UFFD_WP when doing pte_modify(), add it
into _PAGE_CHG_MASK as well. Meanwhile, since we have this new bit, we
can be even more strict when detecting uffd-wp page faults in either
do_wp_page() or wp_huge_pmd().
After we're with _PAGE_UFFD_WP, a special case is when a page is both
protected by the general COW logic and also userfault-wp. Here the
userfault-wp will have higher priority and will be handled first. Only
after the uffd-wp bit is cleared on the PTE/PMD will we continue to handle
the general COW. These are the steps on what will happen with such a
page:
1. CPU accesses write protected shared page (so both protected by
general COW and uffd-wp), blocked by uffd-wp first because in
do_wp_page we'll handle uffd-wp first, so it has higher priority
than general COW.
2. Uffd service thread receives the request, do UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT
to remove the uffd-wp bit upon the PTE/PMD. However here we
still keep the write bit cleared. Notify the blocked CPU.
3. The blocked CPU resumes the page fault process with a fault
retry, during retry it'll notice it was not with the uffd-wp bit
this time but it is still write protected by general COW, then
it'll go though the COW path in the fault handler, copy the page,
apply write bit where necessary, and retry again.
4. The CPU will be able to access this page with write bit set.

mm: merge parameters for change_protection()
change_protection() was used by either the NUMA or mprotect() code,
there's one parameter for each of the callers (dirty_accountable and
prot_numa). Further, these parameters are passed along the calls:
Now we introduce a flag for change_protect() and all these helpers to
replace these parameters. Then we can avoid passing multiple parameters
multiple times along the way.
More importantly, it'll greatly simplify the work if we want to introduce
any new parameters to change_protection(). In the follow up patches, a

Accurate userfaultfd WP tracking is possible by tracking exactly which
virtual memory ranges were writeprotected by userland. We can't relay
only on the RW bit of the mapped pagetable because that information is
destroyed by fork() or KSM or swap. If we were to relay on that, we'd
need to stay on the safe side and generate false positive wp faults for
every swapped out page.

userfaultfd: wp: hook userfault handler to write protection fault
There are several cases write protection fault happens. It could be a
write to zero page, swaped page or userfault write protected page. When
the fault happens, there is no way to know if userfault write protect the
page before. Here we just blindly issue a userfault notification for vma
with VM_UFFD_WP regardless if app write protects it yet. Application
should be ready to handle such wp fault.
In the swapin case, always swapin as readonly. This will cause false
positive userfaults. We need to decide later if to eliminate them with a
flag like soft-dirty in the swap entry (see _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY).
hugetlbfs wouldn't need to worry about swapouts but and tmpfs would be
handled by a swap entry bit like anonymous memory.
The main problem with no easy solution to eliminate the false positives,
will be if/when userfaultfd is extended to real filesystem pagecache.
When the pagecache is freed by reclaim we can't leave the radix tree
pinned if the inode and in turn the radix tree is reclaimed as well.
The estimation is that full accuracy and lack of false positives could be
easily provided only to anonymous memory (as long as there's no fork or as
long as MADV_DONTFORK is used on the userfaultfd anonymous range) tmpfs
and hugetlbfs, it's most certainly worth to achieve it but in a later
incremental patch.

Shaohua Li [Tue, 7 Apr 2020 03:05:25 +0000 (20:05 -0700)]
userfaultfd: wp: add helper for writeprotect check
Patch series "userfaultfd: write protection support", v6.
Overview
========
The uffd-wp work was initialized by Shaohua Li [1], and later continued by
Andrea [2]. This series is based upon Andrea's latest userfaultfd tree,
and it is a continuous works from both Shaohua and Andrea. Many of the
follow up ideas come from Andrea too.
Besides the old MISSING register mode of userfaultfd, the new uffd-wp
support provides another alternative register mode called
UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP that can be used to listen to not only missing
page faults but also write protection page faults, or even they can be
registered together. At the same time, the new feature also provides a
new userfaultfd ioctl called UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT which allows the
userspace to write protect a range or memory or fixup write permission of
faulted pages.
Please refer to the document patch "userfaultfd: wp:
UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP documentation update" for more information on the
new interface and what it can do.
The major workflow of an uffd-wp program should be:
1. Register a memory region with WP mode using UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP
2. Write protect part of the whole registered region using
UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT, passing in UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT_MODE_WP to
show that we want to write protect the range.
3. Start a working thread that modifies the protected pages,
meanwhile listening to UFFD messages.
4. When a write is detected upon the protected range, page fault
happens, a UFFD message will be generated and reported to the
page fault handling thread
5. The page fault handler thread resolves the page fault using the
new UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT ioctl, but this time passing in
!UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT_MODE_WP instead showing that we want to
recover the write permission. Before this operation, the fault
handler thread can do anything it wants, e.g., dumps the page to
a persistent storage.
6. The worker thread will continue running with the correctly
applied write permission from step 5.
Currently there are already two projects that are based on this new
userfaultfd feature.
QEMU Live Snapshot: The project provides a way to allow the QEMU
hypervisor to take snapshot of VMs without
stopping the VM [3].
LLNL umap library: The project provides a mmap-like interface and
"allow to have an application specific buffer of
pages cached from a large file, i.e. out-of-core
execution using memory map" [4][5].
Before posting the patchset, this series was smoke tested against QEMU
live snapshot and the LLNL umap library (by doing parallel quicksort using
128 sorting threads + 80 uffd servicing threads). My sincere thanks to
Marty Mcfadden and Denis Plotnikov for the help along the way.

virtio-balloon: switch back to OOM handler for VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_DEFLATE_ON_OOM
Commit 3abb723f464d ("virtio_balloon: replace oom notifier with shrinker")
changed the behavior when deflation happens automatically. Instead of
deflating when called by the OOM handler, the shrinker is used.
However, the balloon is not simply some other slab cache that should be
shrunk when under memory pressure. The shrinker does not have a concept
of priorities yet, so this behavior cannot be configured. Eventually once
that is in place, we might want to switch back after doing proper testing.
There was a report that this results in undesired side effects when
inflating the balloon to shrink the page cache. [1]
"When inflating the balloon against page cache (i.e. no free memory
remains) vmscan.c will both shrink page cache, but also invoke the
shrinkers -- including the balloon's shrinker. So the balloon
driver allocates memory which requires reclaim, vmscan gets this
memory by shrinking the balloon, and then the driver adds the
memory back to the balloon. Basically a busy no-op."
The name "deflate on OOM" makes it pretty clear when deflation should
happen - after other approaches to reclaim memory failed, not while
reclaiming. This allows to minimize the footprint of a guest - memory
will only be taken out of the balloon when really needed.
Keep using the shrinker for VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_HINT, because
this has no such side effects. Always register the shrinker with
VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_HINT now. We are always allowed to reuse free
pages that are still to be processed by the guest. The hypervisor takes
care of identifying and resolving possible races between processing a
hinting request and the guest reusing a page.
In contrast to pre commit 3abb723f464d ("virtio_balloon: replace oom
notifier with shrinker"), don't add a module parameter to configure the
number of pages to deflate on OOM. Can be re-added if really needed.
Also, pay attention that leak_balloon() returns the number of 4k pages -
convert it properly in virtio_balloon_oom_notify().
Testing done by Tyler for future reference:
Test setup: VM with 16 CPU, 64GB RAM. Running Debian 10. We have a 42
GB file full of random bytes that we continually cat to /dev/null.
This fills the page cache as the file is read. Meanwhile, we trigger
the balloon to inflate, with a target size of 53 GB. This setup causes
the balloon inflation to pressure the page cache as the page cache is
also trying to grow. Afterwards we shrink the balloon back to zero (so
total deflate == total inflate).
Without this patch (kernel 4.19.0-5):
Inflation never reaches the target until we stop the "cat file >
/dev/null" process. Total inflation time was 542 seconds. The longest
period that made no net forward progress was 315 seconds.
Result of "grep balloon /proc/vmstat" after the test:
balloon_inflate 154828377
balloon_deflate 154828377
With this patch (kernel 5.6.0-rc4+):
Total inflation duration was 63 seconds. No deflate-queue activity
occurs when pressuring the page-cache.
Result of "grep balloon /proc/vmstat" after the test:
balloon_inflate 12968539
balloon_deflate 12968539
Conclusion: This patch fixes the issue. In the test it reduced
inflate/deflate activity by 12x, and reduced inflation time by 8.6x.
But more importantly, if we hadn't killed the "cat file > /dev/null"
process then, without the patch, the inflation process would never reach
the target.
Add documentation for free page reporting. Currently the only consumer is
virtio-balloon, however it is possible that other drivers might make use

mm/page_reporting: add budget limit on how many pages can be reported per pass
In order to keep ourselves from reporting pages that are just going to be
reused again in the case of heavy churn we can put a limit on how many
total pages we will process per pass. Doing this will allow the worker
thread to go into idle much more quickly so that we avoid competing with
other threads that might be allocating or freeing pages.
The logic added here will limit the worker thread to no more than one
sixteenth of the total free pages in a given area per list. Once that
limit is reached it will update the state so that at the end of the pass
we will reschedule the worker to try again in 2 seconds when the memory
churn has hopefully settled down.
Again this optimization doesn't show much of a benefit in the standard
case as the memory churn is minmal. However with page allocator shuffling
enabled the gain is quite noticeable. Below are the results with a THP
enabled version of the will-it-scale page_fault1 test showing the
improvement in iterations for 16 processes or threads.

mm/page_reporting: rotate reported pages to the tail of the list
Rather than walking over the same pages again and again to get to the

amount of time by simply rotating the list so that when we have a full
list of reported pages the head of the list is pointing to the next
non-reported page. Doing this should save us some significant time when
processing each free list.
This doesn't gain us much in the standard case as all of the non-reported
pages should be near the top of the list already. However in the case of
page shuffling this results in a noticeable improvement. Below are the

virtio-balloon: add support for providing free page reports to host
Add support for the page reporting feature provided by virtio-balloon.
Reporting differs from the regular balloon functionality in that is is
much less durable than a standard memory balloon. Instead of creating a
list of pages that cannot be accessed the pages are only inaccessible
while they are being indicated to the virtio interface. Once the
interface has acknowledged them they are placed back into their respective
free lists and are once again accessible by the guest system.
Unlike a standard balloon we don't inflate and deflate the pages. Instead
we perform the reporting, and once the reporting is completed it is
assumed that the page has been dropped from the guest and will be faulted
back in the next time the page is accessed.

mm: introduce Reported pages
In order to pave the way for free page reporting in virtualized
environments we will need a way to get pages out of the free lists and
identify those pages after they have been returned. To accomplish this,
this patch adds the concept of a Reported Buddy, which is essentially
meant to just be the Uptodate flag used in conjunction with the Buddy page
type.
To prevent the reported pages from leaking outside of the buddy lists I
added a check to clear the PageReported bit in the del_page_from_free_list
function. As a result any reported page that is split, merged, or
allocated will have the flag cleared prior to the PageBuddy value being
cleared.
The process for reporting pages is fairly simple. Once we free a page
that meets the minimum order for page reporting we will schedule a worker
thread to start 2s or more in the future. That worker thread will begin
working from the lowest supported page reporting order up to MAX_ORDER - 1
pulling unreported pages from the free list and storing them in the
scatterlist.
When processing each individual free list it is necessary for the worker
thread to release the zone lock when it needs to stop and report the full
scatterlist of pages. To reduce the work of the next iteration the worker
thread will rotate the free list so that the first unreported page in the
free list becomes the first entry in the list.
It will then call a reporting function providing information on how many
entries are in the scatterlist. Once the function completes it will
return the pages to the free area from which they were allocated and start
over pulling more pages from the free areas until there are no longer
enough pages to report on to keep the worker busy, or we have processed as
many pages as were contained in the free area when we started processing
the list.
The worker thread will work in a round-robin fashion making its way though
each zone requesting reporting, and through each reportable free list
within that zone. Once all free areas within the zone have been processed
it will check to see if there have been any requests for reporting while
it was processing. If so it will reschedule the worker thread to start up
again in roughly 2s and exit.

mm: adjust shuffle code to allow for future coalescing
Patch series "mm / virtio: Provide support for free page reporting", v17.
This series provides an asynchronous means of reporting free guest pages
to a hypervisor so that the memory associated with those pages can be
dropped and reused by other processes and/or guests on the host. Using
this it is possible to avoid unnecessary I/O to disk and greatly improve
performance in the case of memory overcommit on the host.
When enabled we will be performing a scan of free memory every 2 seconds
while pages of sufficiently high order are being freed. In each pass at
least one sixteenth of each free list will be reported. By doing this we
avoid racing against other threads that may be causing a high amount of
memory churn.
The lowest page order currently scanned when reporting pages is
pageblock_order so that this feature will not interfere with the use of
Transparent Huge Pages in the case of virtualization.
Currently this is only in use by virtio-balloon however there is the hope
that at some point in the future other hypervisors might be able to make
use of it. In the virtio-balloon/QEMU implementation the hypervisor is
currently using MADV_DONTNEED to indicate to the host kernel that the page
is currently free. It will be zeroed and faulted back into the guest the
next time the page is accessed.
To track if a page is reported or not the Uptodate flag was repurposed and
used as a Reported flag for Buddy pages. We walk though the free list
isolating pages and adding them to the scatterlist until we either
encounter the end of the list or have processed at least one sixteenth of
the pages that were listed in nr_free prior to us starting. If we fill
the scatterlist before we reach the end of the list we rotate the list so
that the first unreported page we encounter is moved to the head of the
list as that is where we will resume after we have freed the reported
pages back into the tail of the list.
Below are the results from various benchmarks. I primarily focused on two
tests. The first is the will-it-scale/page_fault2 test, and the other is
a modified version of will-it-scale/page_fault1 that was enabled to use
THP. I did this as it allows for better visibility into different parts
of the memory subsystem. The guest is running with 32G for RAM on one
node of a E5-2630 v3. The host has had some features such as CPU turbo
disabled in the BIOS.
Test page_fault1 (THP) page_fault2
Name tasks Process Iter STDEV Process Iter STDEV
Baseline 1 1012402.50 0.14% 361855.25 0.81%
16 8827457.25 0.09% 3282347.00 0.34%
The results above are for a baseline with a linux-next-20191219 kernel,
that kernel with this patch set applied but page reporting disabled in
virtio-balloon, the patches applied and page reporting fully enabled, the
patches enabled with page shuffling enabled, and the patches applied with
page shuffling enabled and an RFC patch that makes used of MADV_FREE in
QEMU. These results include the deviation seen between the average value
reported here versus the high and/or low value. I observed that during
the test memory usage for the first three tests never dropped whereas with
the patches fully enabled the VM would drop to using only a few GB of the
host's memory when switching from memhog to page fault tests.
Any of the overhead visible with this patch set enabled seems due to page
faults caused by accessing the reported pages and the host zeroing the
page before giving it back to the guest. This overhead is much more
visible when using THP than with standard 4K pages. In addition page
shuffling seemed to increase the amount of faults generated due to an
increase in memory churn. The overehad is reduced when using MADV_FREE as
we can avoid the extra zeroing of the pages when they are reintroduced to
the host, as can be seen when the RFC is applied with shuffling enabled.
The overall guest size is kept fairly small to only a few GB while the
test is running. If the host memory were oversubscribed this patch set
should result in a performance improvement as swapping memory in the host
can be avoided.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/29f43d5796feed0dec8e8bb98b187d9dac03b900.camel@linux.intel.com/
This patch (of 9):
Move the head/tail adding logic out of the shuffle code and into the
__free_one_page function since ultimately that is where it is really
needed anyway. By doing this we should be able to reduce the overhead and
can consolidate all of the list addition bits in one spot.

mm/migrate.c: unify "not queued for migration" handling in do_pages_move()
It can currently happen that we store the status of a page twice:
* Once we detect that it is already on the target node
* Once we moved a bunch of pages, and a page that's already on the
target node is contained in the current interval.
Let's simplify the code and always call do_move_pages_to_node() in case we
did not queue a page for migration. Note that pages that are already on
the target node are not added to the pagelist and are, therefore, ignored
by do_move_pages_to_node() - there is no functional change.
The status of such a page is now only stored once.

mm/migrate.c: wrap do_move_pages_to_node() and store_status()
Usually, do_move_pages_to_node() and store_status() are used in
combination. We have three similar call sites.
Let's provide a wrapper for both function calls -
move_pages_and_store_status - to make the calling code easier to maintain
and fix (as noted by Yang Shi, the return value handling of
do_move_pages_to_node() has a flaw).

mm/migrate.c: no need to check for i > start in do_pages_move()
Patch series "cleanup on do_pages_move()", v5.
The logic in do_pages_move() is a little mess for audience to read and has
some potential error on handling the return value. Especially there are
three calls on do_move_pages_to_node() and store_status() with almost the
same form.
This patch set tries to make the code a little friendly for audience by
consolidate the calls.
This patch (of 4):
At this point, we always have i >= start. If i == start, store_status()
will return 0. So we can drop the check for i > start.

mm: make it clear that gfp reclaim modifiers are valid only for sleepable allocations
While it might be really clear to MM developers that gfp reclaim modifiers
are applicable only to sleepable allocations (those with
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM) it seems that actual users of the API are not always
sure. Make it explicit that they are not applicable for GFP_NOWAIT or
GFP_ATOMIC allocations which are the most commonly used non-sleepable
allocation masks.

mm/vma: append unlikely() while testing VMA access permissions
It is unlikely that an inaccessible VMA without required permission flags
will get a page fault. Hence lets just append unlikely() directive to
such checks in order to improve performance while also standardizing it
across various platforms.
