Patch series "mm/hugetlb: alloc/free gigantic folios", v2.
Use __GFP_COMP for gigantic folios can greatly reduce not only the amount
of code but also the allocation and free time.
Approximate LOC to mm/hugetlb.c: +60, -240

This patch (of 3):
Support __GFP_COMP in alloc_contig_range(). When the flag is set, upon
success the function returns a large folio prepared by prep_new_page(),
rather than a range of order-0 pages prepared by split_free_pages() (which
is renamed from split_map_pages()).
alloc_contig_range() can be used to allocate folios larger than
MAX_PAGE_ORDER, e.g., gigantic hugeTLB folios. So on the free path,
free_one_page() needs to handle that by split_large_buddy().

Currently, the kernel only accepts memory in get_page_from_freelist(), but
there is another path that directly takes pages from free lists -
__alloc_page_bulk(). This function can consume all accepted memory and
will resort to __alloc_pages_noprof() if necessary.
Conditionally accepted in __alloc_pages_bulk().
The same issue may arise due to deferred page initialization. Kick the
deferred initialization machinery before abandoning the zone, as the
kernel does in get_page_from_freelist().

Patch series "mm: Fix several issues with unaccepted memory", v2.
The patchset addresses several issues related to unaccepted memory.
Pacth 1/7 preparatory cleanup.
Patch 2/7 ensures that __alloc_pages_bulk() will not exhaust all
accepted memory without accepting more.
Patches 3/7-5/7 are preparations for patch 6/7, which fixes
alloc_config_page() on machines with unaccepted memory. This allows, for
example, the allocation of gigantic pages at runtime.
Patch 7/7 enables the kernel to accept memory up to the promo watermark.
This patch (of 7):
Add dummy _deferred_grow_zone() for !DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT and remove
#ifdefs in two places.
No functional changes.

Unaccepted memory is considered unusable free memory, which is not counted
as free on the zone watermark check. This causes get_page_from_freelist()
to accept more memory to hit the high watermark, but it creates problems
in the reclaim path.
The reclaim path encounters a failed zone watermark check and attempts to
reclaim memory. This is usually successful, but if there is little or no
reclaimable memory, it can result in endless reclaim with little to no
progress. This can occur early in the boot process, just after start of
the init process when the only reclaimable memory is the page cache of the
init executable and its libraries.
Make unaccepted memory free from watermark check point of view. This way
unaccepted memory will never be the trigger of memory reclaim. Accept
more memory in the get_page_from_freelist() if needed.

Currently, when memory is hot-plugged or hot-removed the accounting is
done based on the assumption that memmap is allocated from the same node
as the hot-plugged/hot-removed memory, which is not always the case.
In addition, there are challenges with keeping the node id of the memory
that is being remove to the time when memmap accounting is actually
performed: since this is done after remove_pfn_range_from_zone(), and
also after remove_memory_block_devices(). Meaning that we cannot use
pgdat nor walking though memblocks to get the nid.
Given all of that, account the memmap overhead system wide instead.
For this we are going to be using global atomic counters, but given that
memmap size is rarely modified, and normally is only modified either
during early boot when there is only one CPU, or under a hotplug global
mutex lock, therefore there is no need for per-cpu optimizations.
Also, while we are here rename nr_memmap to nr_memmap_pages, and
nr_memmap_boot to nr_memmap_boot_pages to be self explanatory that the
units are in page count.

rt_task() checks if a task has RT priority. But depends on your
dictionary, this could mean it belongs to RT class, or is a 'realtime'
task, which includes RT and DL classes.
Since this has caused some confusion already on discussion [1], it
seemed a clean up is due.
I define the usage of rt_task() to be tasks that belong to RT class.
Make sure that it returns true only for RT class and audit the users and
replace the ones required the old behavior with the new realtime_task()
which returns true for RT and DL classes. Introduce similar
realtime_prio() to create similar distinction to rt_prio() and update
the users that required the old behavior to use the new function.
Move MAX_DL_PRIO to prio.h so it can be used in the new definitions.
Document the functions to make it more obvious what is the difference
between them. PI-boosted tasks is a factor that must be taken into
account when choosing which function to use.
Rename task_is_realtime() to realtime_task_policy() as the old name is
confusing against the new realtime_task().
No functional changes were intended.

It's expected that no page should be left in pcp_list after calling
zone_pcp_disable() in offline_pages(). Previously, it's observed that
offline_pages() gets stuck [1] due to some pages remaining in pcp_list.
Cause:
There is a race condition between drain_pages_zone() and __rmqueue_pcplist()
involving the pcp->count variable. See below scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---------------- ---------------
spin_lock(&pcp->lock);
__rmqueue_pcplist() {
zone_pcp_disable() {
/* list is empty */
if (list_empty(list)) {
/* add pages to pcp_list */
alloced = rmqueue_bulk()
mutex_lock(&pcp_batch_high_lock)
...
__drain_all_pages() {
drain_pages_zone() {
/* read pcp->count, it's 0 here */
count = READ_ONCE(pcp->count)
/* 0 means nothing to drain */
/* update pcp->count */
pcp->count += alloced << order;
...
...
spin_unlock(&pcp->lock);
In this case, after calling zone_pcp_disable() though, there are still some
pages in pcp_list. And these pages in pcp_list are neither movable nor
isolated, offline_pages() gets stuck as a result.
Solution:
Expand the scope of the pcp->lock to also protect pcp->count in
drain_pages_zone(), to ensure no pages are left in the pcp list after
zone_pcp_disable()

This mostly reverts commit af3b854492 ("mm/page_alloc.c: allow error
injection"). The commit made should_fail_alloc_page() a noinline function
that's always called from the page allocation hotpath, even if it's empty
because CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC is not enabled, and there is no option to
disable it and prevent the associated function call overhead.
As with the preceding patch "mm, slab: put should_failslab back behind
CONFIG_SHOULD_FAILSLAB" and for the same reasons, put the
should_fail_alloc_page() back behind the config option. When enabled, the
ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION and BTF_ID records are preserved so it's not a
complete revert.

The prefetchw() is introduced from an ancient patch[1].
The change log says:
The basic idea is to free higher order pages instead of going
through every single one. Also, some unnecessary atomic operations
are done away with and replaced with non-atomic equivalents, and
prefetching is done where it helps the most. For a more in-depth
discusion of this patch, please see the linux-ia64 archives (topic
is "free bootmem feedback patch").
So there are several changes improve the bootmem freeing, in which the
most basic idea is freeing higher order pages. And as Matthew says,
"Itanium CPUs of this era had no prefetchers."
I did 10 round bootup tests before and after this change, the data doesn't
prove prefetchw() help speeding up bootmem freeing. The sum of the 10
round bootmem freeing time after prefetchw() removal even 5.2% faster than
before.

Folios of order <= 1 are not in deferred list, the check of order is added
into folio_undo_large_rmappable() from commit 8897277acf ("mm: support

small folio (order 0) during each call of the

In addition, move all the checks into header file to save a function call
for non-large-rmappable or empty deferred_list folio.

We currently initialize the memmap such that PG_reserved is set and the
refcount of the page is 1. In virtio-mem code, we have to manually clear
that PG_reserved flag to make memory offlining with partially hotplugged
memory blocks possible: has_unmovable_pages() would otherwise bail out on
such pages.
We want to avoid PG_reserved where possible and move to typed pages
instead. Further, we want to further enlighten memory offlining code
about PG_offline: offline pages in an online memory section. One example
is handling managed page count adjustments in a cleaner way during memory
offlining.
So let's initialize the pages with PG_offline instead of PG_reserved.
generic_online_page()->__free_pages_core() will now clear that flag before
handing that memory to the buddy.
Note that the page refcount is still 1 and would forbid offlining of such
memory except when special care is take during GOING_OFFLINE as currently
only implemented by virtio-mem.
With this change, we can now get non-PageReserved() pages in the XEN
balloon list. From what I can tell, that can already happen via
decrease_reservation(), so that should be fine.
HV-balloon should not really observe a change: partial online memory
blocks still cannot get surprise-offlined, because the refcount of these
PageOffline() pages is 1.
Update virtio-mem, HV-balloon and XEN-balloon code to be aware that
hotplugged pages are now PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() before
they are handed over to the buddy.
We'll leave the ZONE_DEVICE case alone for now.
Note that self-hosted vmemmap pages will no longer be marked as
reserved. This matches ordinary vmemmap pages allocated from the buddy
during memory hotplug. Now, really only vmemmap pages allocated from
memblock during early boot will be marked reserved. Existing
PageReserved() checks seem to be handling all relevant cases correctly
even after this change.

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of
PageReserved() for !ZONE_DEVICE".
This can be a considered a long-overdue follow-up to some parts of [1].
The patches are based on [2], but they are not strictly required -- just
makes it clearer why we can use adjust_managed_page_count() for memory
hotplug without going into details about highmem.
We stop initializing pages with PageReserved() in memory hotplug code --
except when dealing with ZONE_DEVICE for now. Instead, we use
PageOffline(): all pages are initialized to PageOffline() when onlining a
memory section, and only the ones actually getting exposed to the
system/page allocator will get PageOffline cleared.
This way, we enlighten memory hotplug more about PageOffline() pages and
can cleanup some hacks we have in virtio-mem code.
What about ZONE_DEVICE? PageOffline() is wrong, but we might just stop
using PageReserved() for them later by simply checking for
is_zone_device_page() at suitable places. That will be a separate patch
set / proposal.
This primarily affects virtio-mem, HV-balloon and XEN balloon. I only
briefly tested with virtio-mem, which benefits most from these cleanups.

the differences of memory hotplug handling.
Move the memory hotplug specific handling from generic_online_page() to
__free_pages_core(), use adjust_managed_page_count() on the memory hotplug
path, and spell out why memory freed via memblock cannot currently use
adjust_managed_page_count().

Today, we do not have any observability of per-page metadata and how much
it takes away from the machine capacity. Thus, we want to describe the
amount of memory that is going towards per-page metadata, which can vary
depending on build configuration, machine architecture, and system use.
This patch adds 2 fields to /proc/vmstat that can used as shown below:
Accounting per-page metadata allocated by boot-allocator:
/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap_boot * PAGE_SIZE
Accounting per-page metadata allocated by buddy-allocator:
/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap * PAGE_SIZE
Accounting total Perpage metadata allocated on the machine:
(/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap_boot +
/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap) * PAGE_SIZE
Utility for userspace:
Observability: Describe the amount of memory overhead that is going to
per-page metadata on the system at any given time since this overhead is
not currently observable.
Debugging: Tracking the changes or absolute value in struct pages can help
detect anomalies as they can be correlated with other metrics in the
machine (e.g., memtotal, number of huge pages, etc).
page_ext overheads: Some kernel features such as page_owner
page_table_check that use page_ext can be optionally enabled via kernel
parameters. Having the total per-page metadata information helps users
precisely measure impact. Furthermore, page-metadata metrics will reflect
the amount of struct pages reliquished (or overhead reduced) when
hugetlbfs pages are reserved which will vary depending on whether hugetlb
vmemmap optimization is enabled or not.

Patch series "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually".
Let's remove highmem special-casing from adjust_managed_page_count(), to
result in less confusion why memblock manually adjusts totalram_pages, and
__free_pages_core() only adjusts the zone's managed pages -- what about
the highmem pages that adjust_managed_page_count() updates?
Now, we only maintain totalram_pages and a zone's managed pages
independent of highmem support. We can derive the number of highmem pages
simply by looking at the relevant zone's managed pages. I don't think
there is any particular fast path that needs a maximum-efficient
totalhigh_pages() implementation.
Note that highmem memory is currently initialized using
free_highmem_page()->free_reserved_page(), not __free_pages_core(). In
the future we might want to also use __free_pages_core() to initialize
highmem memory, to make that less special, and consider moving
totalram_pages updates into __free_pages_core() [1], so we can just use
adjust_managed_page_count() in there as well.
Booting a simple kernel in QEMU reveals no highmem accounting change:
Before:
Memory: 3095448K/3145208K available (14802K kernel code, 2073K rwdata,
5000K rodata, 740K init, 556K bss, 49760K reserved, 0K cma-reserved,
2244488K highmem)
After:
Memory: 3095276K/3145208K available (14802K kernel code, 2073K rwdata,
5000K rodata, 740K init, 556K bss, 49932K reserved, 0K cma-reserved,
2244488K highmem)

This patch (of 2):
Can we get rid of the highmem ifdef in adjust_managed_page_count()?
Likely yes: we don't have that many totalhigh_pages() users, and they all
don't seem to be very performance critical.
So let's implement totalhigh_pages() like nr_free_highpages(), collecting
information from all zones. This is now similar to what we do in
si_meminfo_node() to collect the per-node highmem page count.
In the common case (single node, 3-4 zones), we really shouldn't care. We
could optimize a bit further (only walk ZONE_HIGHMEM and ZONE_MOVABLE if
required), but there doesn't seem a real need for that.

Since commit 5d0a661d80 ("mm/page_alloc: use only one PCP list for
THP-sized allocations") no longer differentiates the migration type of
pages in THP-sized PCP list, it's possible that non-movable allocation
requests may get a CMA page from the list, in some cases, it's not
acceptable.
If a large number of CMA memory are configured in system (for example, the
CMA memory accounts for 50% of the system memory), starting a virtual
machine with device passthrough will get stuck. During starting the
virtual machine, it will call pin_user_pages_remote(..., FOLL_LONGTERM,
...) to pin memory. Normally if a page is present and in CMA area,
pin_user_pages_remote() will migrate the page from CMA area to non-CMA
area because of FOLL_LONGTERM flag. But if non-movable allocation
requests return CMA memory, migrate_longterm_unpinnable_pages() will
migrate a CMA page to another CMA page, which will fail to pass the check
in check_and_migrate_movable_pages() and cause migration endless.
Call trace:
pin_user_pages_remote
--__gup_longterm_locked // endless loops in this function
----_get_user_pages_locked
----check_and_migrate_movable_pages
------migrate_longterm_unpinnable_pages
--------alloc_migration_target
This problem will also have a negative impact on CMA itself. For example,
when CMA is borrowed by THP, and we need to reclaim it through cma_alloc()
or dma_alloc_coherent(), we must move those pages out to ensure CMA's
users can retrieve that contigous memory. Currently, CMA's memory is
occupied by non-movable pages, meaning we can't relocate them. As a
result, cma_alloc() is more likely to fail.
To fix the problem above, we add one PCP list for THP, which will not
introduce a new cacheline for struct per_cpu_pages. THP will have 2 PCP
lists, one PCP list is used by MOVABLE allocation, and the other PCP list
is used by UNMOVABLE allocation. MOVABLE allocation contains GPF_MOVABLE,
and UNMOVABLE allocation contains GFP_UNMOVABLE and GFP_RECLAIMABLE.

There was insufficient review and no agreement that this is the right
approach.
There are serious flaws with the implementation that make processes using
mlock() not even work with simple fork() [1] and we get reliable crashes
when rebooting.
Further, simply because we might be unmapping a single PTE of a large
mlocked folio, we shouldn't zero out the whole folio.
... especially because the code can also *corrupt* urelated memory because
kernel_init_pages(page, folio_nr_pages(folio));
Could end up writing outside of the actual folio if we work with a tail
page.
Let's revert it. Once there is agreement that this is the right approach,
the issues were fixed and there was reasonable review and proper testing,
we can consider it again.

While trying to service a movable allocation (page type 1), the page
allocator runs into a two-pageblock buddy on the movable freelist whose
second block is typed as highatomic (page type 3).
This inconsistency is caused by the highatomic reservation system
operating on single pageblocks, while MAX_ORDER can be bigger than that -
in this configuration, pageblock_order is 9 while MAX_PAGE_ORDER is 10.
The test case is observed to make several adjacent order-3 requests with
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM cleared, which marks the surrounding block as
highatomic. Upon freeing, the blocks merge into an order-10 buddy. When
the highatomic pool is drained later on, this order-10 buddy gets moved
back to the movable list, but only the first pageblock is marked movable
again. A subsequent expand() of this buddy warns about the tail being of
a different type.
This is a long-standing bug that's surfaced by the recent block type
warnings added to the allocator. The consequences seem mostly benign, it
just results in odd behavior: the highatomic tail blocks are not properly
drained, instead they end up on the movable list first, then go back to
the highatomic list after an alloc-free cycle.
To fix this, make the highatomic reservation code aware that
allocations/buddies can be larger than a pageblock.
While it's an old quirk, the recently added type consistency warnings seem
to be the most prominent consequence of it. Set the Fixes: tag
accordingly to highlight this backporting dependency.

Currently, compaction_capture() does not allow lower-order allocations to
directly capture the movable free pages, even though lower-order
allocations might also be requesting movable pages, that can lead to more
compaction scanning. And, with the enablement of mTHP, such situations
will become more common.
Thus allowing lower-order (mTHP) allocations of movable page types
directly capture the movable free pages can avoid unnecessary compaction
scanning, meanwhile that won't pollute the movable pageblock. With
testing 1M mTHP compaction, it can be seen that compaction scanning is
significantly reduced.

We want to limit the use of page_mapcount() to the places where it is
absolutely necessary.
For tracing purposes, we use page_mapcount() in
__alloc_contig_migrate_range(). Adding that mapcount to total_mapped
sounds strange: total_migrated and total_reclaimed would count each page
only once, not multiple times.
But then, isolate_migratepages_range() adds each folio only once to the
list. So for large folios, we would query the mapcount of the first page
of the folio, which doesn't make too much sense for large folios.
Let's simply use folio_mapped() * folio_nr_pages(), which makes more sense
as nr_migratepages is also incremented by the number of pages in the folio
in case of successful migration.

Let's track the mapcount of large folios in a single value. The mapcount
of a large folio currently corresponds to the sum of the entire mapcount
and all page mapcounts.
This sum is what we actually want to know in folio_mapcount() and it is
also sufficient for implementing folio_mapped().
With PTE-mapped THP becoming more important and more widely used, we want
to avoid looping over all pages of a folio just to obtain the mapcount of
large folios. The comment "In the common case, avoid the loop when no
pages mapped by PTE" in folio_total_mapcount() does no longer hold for
mTHP that are always mapped by PTE.
Further, we are planning on using folio_mapcount() more frequently, and
might even want to remove page mapcounts for large folios in some kernel
configs. Therefore, allow for reading the mapcount of large folios
efficiently and atomically without looping over any pages.
Maintain the mapcount also for hugetlb pages for simplicity. Use the new
mapcount to implement folio_mapcount() and folio_mapped(). Make
page_mapped() simply call folio_mapped(). We can now get rid of
folio_large_is_mapped().
_nr_pages_mapped is now only used in rmap code and for debugging purposes.
Keep folio_nr_pages_mapped() around, but document that its use should be
limited to rmap internals and debugging purposes.
This change implies one additional atomic add/sub whenever
mapping/unmapping (parts of) a large folio.
As we now batch RMAP operations for PTE-mapped THP during fork(), during
unmap/zap, and when PTE-remapping a PMD-mapped THP, and we adjust the
large mapcount for a PTE batch only once, the added overhead in the common
case is small. Only when unmapping individual pages of a large folio
(e.g., during COW), the overhead might be bigger in comparison, but it's
essentially one additional atomic operation.
Note that before the new mapcount would overflow, already our refcount
would overflow: each mapping requires a folio reference. Extend the
focumentation of folio_mapcount().

Commit 44042b4498 ("mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored
on the per-cpu lists") extends the PCP allocator to store THP pages, and
it determines whether to cache THP pages in PCP by comparing with
pageblock_order. But the pageblock_order is not always equal to THP
order. It might also be MAX_PAGE_ORDER, which could prevent PCP from
caching THP pages.
Therefore, using HPAGE_PMD_ORDER instead to determine the need for caching
THP for PCP will fix this issue

Implements the "init_mlocked_on_free" boot option. When this boot option
is enabled, any mlock'ed pages are zeroed on free. If
the pages are munlock'ed beforehand, no initialization takes place.
This boot option is meant to combat the performance hit of
"init_on_free" as reported in commit 6471384af2 ("mm: security:
introduce init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 boot options"). With
"init_mlocked_on_free=1" only relevant data is freed while everything
else is left untouched by the kernel. Correspondingly, this patch
introduces no performance hit for unmapping non-mlock'ed memory. The
unmapping overhead for purely mlocked memory was measured to be
approximately 13%. Realistically, most systems mlock only a fraction of
the total memory so the real-world system overhead should be close to
zero.
Optimally, userspace programs clear any key material or other
confidential memory before exit and munlock the according memory
regions. If a program crashes, userspace key managers fail to do this
job. Accordingly, no munlock operations are performed so the data is
caught and zeroed by the kernel. Should the program not crash, all
memory will ideally be munlocked so no overhead is caused.
CONFIG_INIT_MLOCKED_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON can be set to enable
"init_mlocked_on_free" by default.

Earlier, in commit 1dd214b8f2 ("mm: page_alloc: avoid merging
non-fallbackable pageblocks with others"), migrate type MIGRATE_CMA and
MIGRATE_ISOLATE are removed from fallbacks list since they are never used.
Later on, in commit ("aa02d3c174ab mm/page_alloc: reduce fallbacks to
(MIGRATE_PCPTYPES - 1)"), the array column size is reduced to
'MIGRATE_PCPTYPES - 1'. In fact, the array row size need be reduced to
MIGRATE_PCPTYPES too since it's only covering rows of the number
MIGRATE_PCPTYPES. Even though the current code has handled cases
when the migratetype is CMA, HIGHATOMIC and MEMORY_ISOLATION, making
the row size right is still good to avoid future error and confusion.

Patch series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent", v2.
As discussed in previous thread [1], there is an inconsistency when
handling hugetlb migration. When handling the migration of freed hugetlb,
it prevents fallback to other NUMA nodes in
alloc_and_dissolve_hugetlb_folio(). However, when dealing with in-use
hugetlb, it allows fallback to other NUMA nodes in
alloc_hugetlb_folio_nodemask(), which can break the per-node hugetlb pool
and might result in unexpected failures when node bound workloads doesn't
get what is asssumed available.
This patchset tries to make the hugetlb migration strategy more clear
and consistent. Please find details in each patch.

Page isolation currently sets MIGRATE_ISOLATE on a block, then drops
zone->lock and scans the block for straddling buddies to split up.
Because this happens non-atomically wrt the page allocator, it's possible
for allocations to get a buddy whose first block is a regular pcp
migratetype but whose tail is isolated. This means that in certain cases
memory can still be allocated after isolation. It will also trigger the
freelist type hygiene warnings in subsequent patches.

Introduce a variant of move_freepages_block() provided by the allocator
specifically for page isolation; it moves free pages, converts the block,
and handles the splitting of straddling buddies while holding zone->lock.
The allocator knows that pageblocks and buddies are always naturally
aligned, which means that buddies can only straddle blocks if they're
actually >pageblock_order. This means the search-and-split part can be
simplified compared to what page isolation used to do.
Also tighten up the page isolation code around the expectations of which
pages can be large, and how they are freed.
Based on extensive discussions with and invaluable input from Zi Yan.

There are three freeing paths that read the page's migratetype
optimistically before grabbing the zone lock. When this races with block
stealing, those pages go on the wrong freelist.
The paths in question are:
- when freeing >costly orders that aren't THP
- when freeing pages to the buddy upon pcp lock contention
- when freeing pages that are isolated
- when freeing pages initially during boot
- when freeing the remainder in alloc_pages_exact()
- when "accepting" unaccepted VM host memory before first use
- when freeing pages during unpoisoning
None of these are so hot that they would need this optimization at the
cost of hampering defrag efforts. Especially when contrasted with the
fact that the most common buddy freeing path - free_pcppages_bulk - is
checking the migratetype under the zone->lock just fine.
In addition, isolated pages need to look up the migratetype under the lock
anyway, which adds branches to the locked section, and results in a double
lookup when the pages are in fact isolated.
Move the lookups into the lock.

Currently, page block type conversion during fallbacks, atomic
reservations and isolation can strand various amounts of free pages on
incorrect freelists.
For example, fallback stealing moves free pages in the block to the new
type's freelists, but then may not actually claim the block for that type
if there aren't enough compatible pages already allocated.
In all cases, free page moving might fail if the block straddles more than
one zone, in which case no free pages are moved at all, but the block type
is changed anyway.
This is detrimental to type hygiene on the freelists. It encourages
incompatible page mixing down the line (ask for one type, get another) and
thus contributes to long-term fragmentation.
Split the process into a proper transaction: check first if conversion
will happen, then try to move the free pages, and only if that was
successful convert the block to the new type.

When a block is partially outside the zone of the cursor page, the
function cuts the range to the pivot page instead of the zone start. This
can leave large parts of the block behind, which encourages incompatible
page mixing down the line (ask for one type, get another), and thus
long-term fragmentation.
This triggers reliably on the first block in the DMA zone, whose start_pfn
is 1. The block is stolen, but everything before the pivot page (which
was often hundreds of pages) is left on the old list.

The buddy allocator coalesces compatible blocks during freeing, but it
doesn't update the types of the subblocks to match. When an allocation
later breaks the chunk down again, its pieces will be put on freelists of
the wrong type. This encourages incompatible page mixing (ask for one
type, get another), and thus long-term fragmentation.
Update the subblocks when merging a larger chunk, such that a later
expand() will maintain freelist type hygiene.

Patch series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene", v4.
The page allocator's mobility grouping is intended to keep unmovable pages
separate from reclaimable/compactable ones to allow on-demand
defragmentation for higher-order allocations and huge pages.
Currently, there are several places where accidental type mixing occurs:
an allocation asks for a page of a certain migratetype and receives
another. This ruins pageblocks for compaction, which in turn makes
allocating huge pages more expensive and less reliable.
The series addresses those causes. The last patch adds type checks on all
freelist movements to prevent new violations being introduced.
The benefits can be seen in a mixed workload that stresses the machine
with a memcache-type workload and a kernel build job while periodically
attempting to allocate batches of THP. The following data is aggregated

Huge page success rate is higher, allocation latencies are shorter and
more predictable.
Stealing (fallback) rate is drastically reduced. Notably, while the
vanilla kernel keeps doing fallbacks on an ongoing basis, the patched
kernel enters a steady state once the distribution of block types is
adequate for the workload. Steals over 50 runs:

Type mismatches are down too. Those count every time an allocation
request asks for one migratetype and gets another. This can still occur
minimally in the patched kernel due to non-stealing fallbacks, but it's
quite rare and follows the pattern of overall fallbacks - once the block
type distribution settles, mismatches cease as well:

Compaction work is markedly reduced despite much better THP rates.
In the vanilla kernel, reclaim seems to have been driven primarily by
watermark boosting that happens as a result of fallbacks. With those all
but eliminated, watermarks average lower and kswapd does less work. The
uptick in direct reclaim is because THP requests have to fend for
themselves more often - which is intended policy right now. Aggregate
reclaim activity is lowered significantly, though.
This patch (of 10):
The idea behind the cache is to save get_pageblock_migratetype() lookups
during bulk freeing. A microbenchmark suggests this isn't helping,
though. The pcp migratetype can get stale, which means that bulk freeing
has an extra branch to check if the pageblock was isolated while on the
pcp.
While the variance overlaps, the cache write and the branch seem to make
this a net negative. The following test allocates and frees batches of
10,000 pages (~3x the pcp high marks to trigger flushing):

A side effect is that this also ensures that pages whose pageblock gets
stolen while on the pcplist end up on the right freelist and we don't
perform potentially type-incompatible buddy merges (or skip merges when we
shouldn't), which is likely beneficial to long-term fragmentation
management, although the effects would be harder to measure. Settle for
simpler and faster code as justification here.

Patch series "Various significant MM patches".
These patches all interact in annoying ways which make it tricky to send
them out in any way other than a big batch, even though there's not really
an overarching theme to connect them.
The big effects of this patch series are:
- folio_test_hugetlb() becomes reliable, even when called without a
page reference
- We free up PG_slab, and we could always use more page flags
- We no longer need to check PageSlab before calling page_mapcount()
This patch (of 9):
For compound pages which are at least order-2 (and hence have a
deferred_list), initialise it and then we can check at free that the page
is not part of a deferred list. We recently found this useful to rule out
a source of corruption.

When a non-compound multi-order page is freed, it is possible that a
speculative reference keeps the page pinned. In this case we free all
pages except for the first page, which will be freed later by the last
put_page(). However the page passed to put_page() is indistinguishable
from an order-0 page, so it cannot do the accounting, just as it cannot
free the subsequent pages. Do the accounting here, where we free the
pages.

When a high-order page is split into smaller ones, each newly split page
should get its codetag. After the split each split page will be
referencing the original codetag. The codetag's "bytes" counter remains
the same because the amount of allocated memory has not changed, however
the "calls" counter gets increased to keep the counter correct when these
individual pages get freed.

Patch series "mm/treewide: Remove pXd_huge() API", v2.
In previous work [1], we removed the pXd_large() API, which is arch
specific. This patchset further removes the hugetlb pXd_huge() API.
Hugetlb was never special on creating huge mappings when compared with
other huge mappings. Having a standalone API just to detect such pgtable
entries is more or less redundant, especially after the pXd_leaf() API set
is introduced with/without CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE.
When looking at this problem, a few issues are also exposed that we don't
have a clear definition of the *_huge() variance API. This patchset
started by cleaning these issues first, then replace all *_huge() users to
use *_leaf(), then drop all *_huge() code.
On x86/sparc, swap entries will be reported "true" in pXd_huge(), while
for all the rest archs they're reported "false" instead. This part is
done in patch 1-5, in which I suspect patch 1 can be seen as a bug fix,
but I'll leave that to hmm experts to decide.
Besides, there are three archs (arm, arm64, powerpc) that have slightly
different definitions between the *_huge() v.s. *_leaf() variances. I
tackled them separately so that it'll be easier for arch experts to chim
in when necessary. This part is done in patch 6-9.
The final patches 10-14 do the rest on the final removal, since *_leaf()
will be the ultimate API in the future, and we seem to have quite some
confusions on how *_huge() APIs can be defined, provide a rich comment for
*_leaf() API set to define them properly to avoid future misuse, and
hopefully that'll also help new archs to start support huge mappings and
avoid traps (like either swap entries, or PROT_NONE entry checks).

This patch (of 14):
When the complete PCP is drained a much larger number of pages than the
usual batch size might be freed at once, causing large IRQ and preemption
latency spikes, as they are all freed while holding the pcp and zone
spinlocks.
To avoid those latency spikes, limit the number of pages freed in a single
bulk operation to common batch limits.

from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series "mm:
zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is hotplugged
as system memory.

"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving policy
wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion rather
than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory environments
appearing with CXL.

- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown situations.
The microbenchmark improvements are nice.

Core & protocols
----------------
- Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:
- Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps etc.)
lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.
- Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core
instead of once for each driver / callback.
- Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.
- Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.
- Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.
- Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length
and budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.
- Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global config
variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.
- Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug
of ECMP imbalance problems.
- Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.
- Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.
- Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.
- Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
control state machine.
- Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
disjoint MCTP networks.
- Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.
- Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.
- Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for
use on fastpaths).
- Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.
- Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.
- Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code
--------------------------------------------
- Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and introduce
VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by bpf_arena).
- Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of
ksft exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).
Netfilter
---------
- Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a daemon
(via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this table when
the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as orphaned and
a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain ownership.
- Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set type.
Compact a few related data structures.
BPF
---
- Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
& unprivileged application.
- Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between BPF
program and user space where structures inside the arena can have
pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work seamlessly
for both user-space programs and BPF programs.
- Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the verifier
and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop assuming it's
behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate it.
- Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
critical sections.
- Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops type.
- Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.
- Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF firewalls.
- Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF objects.
Wireless
--------
- Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.
- Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.
Driver API
----------
- Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to support
new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between drivers
(especially those using phylib), and encourage more uniform behavior.
Convert and clean up drivers.
- Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from drivers.
- IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.
- Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.
- Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.
Misc
----
- Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.
- Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions,
and packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.
- Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.
- Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message encapsulation
or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of nested attributes
depends on link type, classifier type or some other "class type".

Merge tag 'net-next-6.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:
- Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:
- Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps
etc) lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.
- Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core instead
of once for each driver / callback.
- Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.
- Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.
- Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.
- Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length and
budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.
- Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global
config variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.
- Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug of
ECMP imbalance problems.
- Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.
- Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.
- Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.
- Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
control state machine.
- Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
disjoint MCTP networks.
- Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.
- Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.
- Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for use
on fastpaths).
- Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.
- Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.
- Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:
- Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and
introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by
bpf_arena).
- Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of ksft
exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).
Netfilter:
- Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a
daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this
table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as
orphaned and a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain
ownership.
- Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set
type. Compact a few related data structures.
BPF:
- Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
& unprivileged application.
- Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between
BPF program and user space where structures inside the arena can
have pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work
seamlessly for both user-space programs and BPF programs.
- Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the
verifier and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop
assuming it's behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate
it.
- Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
critical sections.
- Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops
type.
- Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.
- Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF
firewalls.
- Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF
objects.
Wireless:
- Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.
- Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.
Driver API:
- Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to
support new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between
drivers (especially those using phylib), and encourage more
uniform behavior. Convert and clean up drivers.
- Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from
drivers.
- IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.
- Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.
- Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.
Misc:
- Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.
- Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions, and
packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.
- Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.
- Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message
encapsulation or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of
nested attributes depends on link type, classifier type or some
other "class type".

Currently there seems to be three page frag implementations
which all try to allocate order 3 page, if that fails, it
then fail back to allocate order 0 page, and each of them
all allow order 3 page allocation to fail under certain
condition by using specific gfp bits.
The gfp bits for order 3 page allocation are different
between different implementation, __GFP_NOMEMALLOC is
or'd to forbid access to emergency reserves memory for
__page_frag_cache_refill(), but it is not or'd in other
implementions, __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is masked off to avoid
direct reclaim in vhost_net_page_frag_refill(), but it is
not masked off in __page_frag_cache_refill().
This patch unifies the gfp bits used between different
implementions by or'ing __GFP_NOMEMALLOC and masking off
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM for order 3 page allocation to avoid
possible pressure for mm.
Leave the gfp unifying for page frag implementation in sock.c
for now as suggested by Paolo Abeni.

napi_alloc_frag_align() and netdev_alloc_frag_align() accept
align as an argument, and they are thin wrappers around the
__napi_alloc_frag_align() and __netdev_alloc_frag_align() APIs
doing the alignment checking and align mask conversion, in order
to call page_frag_alloc_align() directly. The intention here is
to keep the alignment checking and the alignmask conversion in
in-line wrapper to avoid those kind of operations during execution
time since it can usually be handled during compile time.
We are going to use page_frag_alloc_align() in vhost_net.c, it
need the same kind of alignment checking and alignmask conversion,
so split up page_frag_alloc_align into an inline wrapper doing the
above operation, and add __page_frag_alloc_align() which is passed
with the align mask the original function expected as suggested by
Alexander.

alloc_contig_migrate_range has every information to be able to understand
big contiguous allocation latency. For example, how many pages are
migrated, how many times they were needed to unmap from page tables.
This patch adds the trace event to collect the allocation statistics. In
the field, it was quite useful to understand CMA allocation latency.

Iterate over a folio_batch rather than a linked list. This is easier for
the CPU to prefetch and has a batch count naturally built in so we don't
need to track it. Again, this lowers the maximum lock hold time from
32 folios to 15, but I do not expect this to have a significant effect.

Sven reports an infinite loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath() for costly order
__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL allocations that are also GFP_NOIO. Such combination
can happen in a suspend/resume context where a GFP_KERNEL allocation can
have __GFP_IO masked out via gfp_allowed_mask.
Quoting Sven:
1. try to do a "costly" allocation (order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER)
with __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL set.
2. page alloc's __alloc_pages_slowpath tries to get a page from the
freelist. This fails because there is nothing free of that costly
order.
3. page alloc tries to reclaim by calling __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim,
which bails out because a zone is ready to be compacted; it pretends
to have made a single page of progress.
4. page alloc tries to compact, but this always bails out early because
__GFP_IO is not set (it's not passed by the snd allocator, and even
if it were, we are suspending so the __GFP_IO flag would be cleared
anyway).
5. page alloc believes reclaim progress was made (because of the
pretense in item 3) and so it checks whether it should retry
compaction. The compaction retry logic thinks it should try again,
because:
a) reclaim is needed because of the early bail-out in item 4
b) a zonelist is suitable for compaction
6. goto 2. indefinite stall.
(end quote)
The immediate root cause is confusing the COMPACT_SKIPPED returned from
__alloc_pages_direct_compact() (step 4) due to lack of __GFP_IO to be
indicating a lack of order-0 pages, and in step 5 evaluating that in
should_compact_retry() as a reason to retry, before incrementing and
limiting the number of retries. There are however other places that
wrongly assume that compaction can happen while we lack __GFP_IO.
To fix this, introduce gfp_compaction_allowed() to abstract the __GFP_IO
evaluation and switch the open-coded test in try_to_compact_pages() to use
it.
Also use the new helper in:
- compaction_ready(), which will make reclaim not bail out in step 3, so
there's at least one attempt to actually reclaim, even if chances are
small for a costly order
- in_reclaim_compaction() which will make should_continue_reclaim()
return false and we don't over-reclaim unnecessarily
- in __alloc_pages_slowpath() to set a local variable can_compact,
which is then used to avoid retrying reclaim/compaction for costly
allocations (step 5) if we can't compact and also to skip the early
compaction attempt that we do in some cases

Before last commit, memory compaction only migrates order-0 folios and
skips >0 order folios. Last commit splits all >0 order folios during
compaction. This commit migrates >0 order folios during compaction by
keeping isolated free pages at their original size without splitting them
into order-0 pages and using them directly during migration process.
What is different from the prior implementation:
1. All isolated free pages are kept in a NR_PAGE_ORDERS array of page
lists, where each page list stores free pages in the same order.
2. All free pages are not post_alloc_hook() processed nor buddy pages,
although their orders are stored in first page's private like buddy
pages.
3. During migration, in new page allocation time (i.e., in
compaction_alloc()), free pages are then processed by post_alloc_hook().
When migration fails and a new page is returned (i.e., in
compaction_free()), free pages are restored by reversing the
post_alloc_hook() operations using newly added
free_pages_prepare_fpi_none().
Step 3 is done for a latter optimization that splitting and/or merging
free pages during compaction becomes easier.
Note: without splitting free pages, compaction can end prematurely due to
migration will return -ENOMEM even if there is free pages. This happens
when no order-0 free page exist and compaction_alloc() return NULL.

Patch series "Enable >0 order folio memory compaction", v7.
This patchset enables >0 order folio memory compaction, which is one of
the prerequisitions for large folio support[1].
I am aware of that split free pages is necessary for folio migration in
compaction, since if >0 order free pages are never split and no order-0
free page is scanned, compaction will end prematurely due to migration
returns -ENOMEM. Free page split becomes a must instead of an
optimization.

===
To support >0 order folio compaction, the patchset changes how free pages
used for migration are kept during compaction. Free pages used to be
split into order-0 pages that are post allocation processed (i.e.,
PageBuddy flag cleared, page order stored in page->private is zeroed, and
page reference is set to 1). Now all free pages are kept in a
NR_PAGE_ORDER array of page lists based on their order without post
allocation process. When migrate_pages() asks for a new page, one of the
free pages, based on the requested page order, is then processed and given
out. And THP <2MB would need this feature.

This patch (of 4):
Commit 0a54864f8d ("kasan: remove PG_skip_kasan_poison flag") removes
the use of fpi_flags in should_skip_kasan_poison() and fpi_flags is only
passed to should_skip_kasan_poison() in free_pages_prepare(). Remove the
unused parameter.

For each CPU hotplug event, we will update per-CPU data slice size and
corresponding PCP configuration for every online CPU to make the
implementation simple. But, Kyle reported that this takes tens seconds
during boot on a machine with 34 zones and 3840 CPUs.
So, in this patch, for each CPU hotplug event, we only update per-CPU data
slice size and corresponding PCP configuration for the CPUs that share
caches with the hotplugged CPU. With the patch, the system boot time
reduces 67 seconds on the machine.

Core & protocols
----------------
- Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev,
netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up
build time warnings to safeguard against future header changes.
This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections
up to 40%.
- Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the
memory usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify
bad PP users and possible leaks.
- Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even
source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set.
This lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having
many active connections to the same destination.
- Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket
structs.
- Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to
allow arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF.
- Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value
to 128KB and namespecifying it.
- Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving
RX performances with some common configurations.
- Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time.
- Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to
request the deletion of matching entries.
- Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the
datapath first.
- Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting
multicast-like behavior at the TC layer.
- Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and
classifiers (RSVP and tcindex).
- More data-race annotations.
- Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets.
- Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions.
- Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form
a sub-network using a specific PAN ID.
- Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support.
- Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type.
BPF
---
- Tons of verifier improvements:
- BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large
test suite
- log improvements
- complete precision tracking support for register spills
- track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers. It
improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from single
digit to 50-60% for some programs
- support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few
commonly requested annotations for a better developer experience
- support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
transforms (unsigned) "a > 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the
like
- several fixes
- Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in
mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right
now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload.
- Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into
kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows
BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y.
- Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily
instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be
guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques.
- Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs.
- Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task
within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is identified
by its id.
- Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value field
obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in sched_ext.
- Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool
integration for the latter.
- Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints.
- Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project
is developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter).
Misc
----
- Support for parellel TC self-tests execution.
- Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage.
- Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far
undocumented features.
- Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to
avoid random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent
runs.
- Add TCP-AO self-tests.
- Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211.
- Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec.
- Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the
tool can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families
for which we have specs.
- A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes.
- Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool.
Driver API
----------
- Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the
full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers
in rust.
- Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface,
allowing complete access to the device <> NAPIs <> queues
relationship.
- Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control
application scale to thousands of instances.
- Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for
each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host.
- Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash.
- ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD
platform.
- Expose pin fractional frequency offset value over new DPLL generic
netlink attribute.
- Convert older drivers to platform remove callback returning void.
- Add support for PHY package MMD read/write.

commit 23baf831a3 ("mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely") has
changed the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive. This has caused
issues with code that was not yet upstream and depended on the previous
definition.
To draw attention to the altered meaning of the define, rename MAX_ORDER
to MAX_PAGE_ORDER.

NR_PAGE_ORDERS defines the number of page orders supported by the page
allocator, ranging from 0 to MAX_ORDER, MAX_ORDER + 1 in total.
NR_PAGE_ORDERS assists in defining arrays of page orders and allows for
more natural iteration over them.

Use the KASAN_TAG_KERNEL marco instead of open-coding 0xff in the mm code.
This macro is provided by include/linux/kasan-tags.h, which does not
include any other headers, so it's safe to include it into mm.h without
causing circular include dependencies.

__alloc_pages_direct_reclaim() is called from slowpath allocation where
high atomic reserves can be unreserved after there is a progress in
reclaim and yet no suitable page is found. Later should_reclaim_retry()
gets called from slow path allocation to decide if the reclaim needs to be
retried before OOM kill path is taken.
should_reclaim_retry() checks the available(reclaimable + free pages)
memory against the min wmark levels of a zone and returns:
a) true, if it is above the min wmark so that slow path allocation will
do the reclaim retries.
b) false, thus slowpath allocation takes oom kill path.
should_reclaim_retry() can also unreserves the high atomic reserves **but
only after all the reclaim retries are exhausted.**
In a case where there are almost none reclaimable memory and free pages
contains mostly the high atomic reserves but allocation context can't use
these high atomic reserves, makes the available memory below min wmark
levels hence false is returned from should_reclaim_retry() leading the
allocation request to take OOM kill path. This can turn into a early oom
kill if high atomic reserves are holding lot of free memory and
unreserving of them is not attempted.
(early)OOM is encountered on a VM with the below state:

Per above log, the free memory of ~7MB exist in the high atomic reserves
is not freed up before falling back to oom kill path.
Fix it by trying to unreserve the high atomic reserves in
should_reclaim_retry() before __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim() can fallback
to oom kill path.

Highatomic reserves are set to roughly 1% of zone for maximum and a
pageblock size for minimum. Encountered a system with the below
configuration:
Normal free:7728kB boost:0kB min:804kB low:1004kB high:1204kB
reserved_highatomic:8192KB managed:49224kB
On such systems, even a single pageblock makes highatomic reserves are set
to ~8% of the zone memory. This high value can easily exert pressure on
the zone.
Per discussion with Michal and Mel, it is not much useful to reserve the
memory for highatomic allocations on such small systems[1]. Since the
minimum size for high atomic reserves is always going to be a pageblock
size and if 1% of zone managed pages is going to be below pageblock size,
don't reserve memory for high atomic allocations. Thanks Michal for this
suggestion[2].
Since no memory is being reserved for high atomic allocations and if
respective allocation failures are seen, this patch can be reverted.

Patch series "mm: page_alloc: fixes for high atomic reserve
caluculations", v3.
The state of the system where the issue exposed shown in oom kill logs:

From the above, it is seen that ~16MB of memory reserved for high atomic
reserves against the expectation of 1% reserves which is fixed in the 1st
patch.
Don't reserve the high atomic page blocks if 1% of zone memory size is
below a pageblock size.
This patch (of 2):
reserve_highatomic_pageblock() aims to reserve the 1% of the managed pages
of a zone, which is used for the high order atomic allocations.
It uses the below calculation to reserve:
static void reserve_highatomic_pageblock(struct page *page, ....) {
.......
max_managed = (zone_managed_pages(zone) / 100) + pageblock_nr_pages;
if (zone->nr_reserved_highatomic >= max_managed)
goto out;
zone->nr_reserved_highatomic += pageblock_nr_pages;
set_pageblock_migratetype(page, MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC);
move_freepages_block(zone, page, MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC, NULL);
out:
....
}
Since we are always appending the 1% of zone managed pages count to
pageblock_nr_pages, the minimum it is turning into 2 pageblocks as the
nr_reserved_highatomic is incremented/decremented in pageblock sizes.
Encountered a system(actually a VM running on the Linux kernel) with the
below zone configuration:
Normal free:7728kB boost:0kB min:804kB low:1004kB high:1204kB
reserved_highatomic:8192KB managed:49224kB
The existing calculations making it to reserve the 8MB(with pageblock size
of 4MB) i.e. 16% of the zone managed memory. Reserving such high amount
of memory can easily exert memory pressure in the system thus may lead
into unnecessary reclaims till unreserving of high atomic reserves.
Since high atomic reserves are managed in pageblock size granules, as
MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC is set for such pageblock, fix the calculations for
high atomic reserves as, minimum is pageblock size , maximum is
approximately 1% of the zone managed pages.

The duplication makes it seem like some work is required before uncharging
in the !PageHWPoison case. But it isn't, so we can simplify the code a
little.
Note the PageMemcgKmem check is redundant, but I've left it in as it
avoids an unnecessary function call.

Pages belonging to a page_pool (PP) instance must be freed through the
PP APIs in-order to correctly release any DMA mappings and release
refcnt on the DMA device when freeing PP instance. When PP release a
page (page_pool_release_page) the page->pp_magic value is cleared.
This patch detect a leaked PP page in free_page_is_bad() via
unexpected state of page->pp_magic value being PP_SIGNATURE.
We choose to report and treat it as a bad page. It would be possible
to release the page via returning it to the PP instance as the
page->pp pointer is likely still valid.
Notice this code is only activated when either compiled with
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM or boot cmdline debug_pagealloc=on, and
CONFIG_PAGE_POOL.

For compound pages, the head sets the PG_head flag and the tail sets the
compound_head to indicate the head page. If a user allocates a compound
page and frees it with a different order, the compound page information
will not be properly initialized. To detect this problem,
compound_order(page) and the order argument are compared, but this is not
checked when the order argument is zero. That error should be checked
regardless of the order.

Patch series "handle memoryless nodes more appropriately", v3.
Currently, in the process of initialization or offline memory, memoryless
nodes will still be built into the fallback list of itself or other nodes.
This is not what we expected, so this patch series removes memoryless
nodes from the fallback list entirely.
This patch (of 2):
In find_next_best_node(), we skipped the memoryless nodes when building
the zonelists of other normal nodes (N_NORMAL), but did not skip the
memoryless node itself when building the zonelist. This will cause it to
be traversed at runtime.
For example, say we have node0 and node1, node0 is memoryless
node, then the fallback order of node0 and node1 as follows:
[ 0.153005] Fallback order for Node 0: 0 1
[ 0.153564] Fallback order for Node 1: 1
After this patch, we skip memoryless node0 entirely, then
the fallback order of node0 and node1 as follows:
[ 0.155236] Fallback order for Node 0: 1
[ 0.155806] Fallback order for Node 1: 1
So it becomes completely invisible, which will reduce runtime
overhead.
And in this way, we will not try to allocate pages from memoryless node0,
then the panic mentioned in [1] will also be fixed. Even though this
problem has been solved by dropping the NODE_MIN_SIZE constrain in x86
[2], it would be better to fix it in core MM as well.

In current PCP auto-tuning design, if the number of pages allocated is
much more than that of pages freed on a CPU, the PCP high may become the
maximal value even if the allocating/freeing depth is small, for example,
in the sender of network workloads. If a CPU was used as sender
originally, then it is used as receiver after context switching, we need
to fill the whole PCP with maximal high before triggering PCP draining for
consecutive high order freeing. This will hurt the performance of some
network workloads.
To solve the issue, in this patch, we will track the consecutive page
freeing with a counter in stead of relying on PCP draining. So, we can
detect consecutive page freeing much earlier.
On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, we tested
SCTP_STREAM_MANY test case of netperf test suite with 64-pair processes.
With the patch, the network bandwidth improves 5.0%. This restores the
performance drop caused by PCP auto-tuning.

One target of PCP is to minimize pages in PCP if the system free pages is
too few. To reach that target, when page reclaiming is active for the
zone (ZONE_RECLAIM_ACTIVE), we will stop increasing PCP high in allocating
path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. But this may
be too late because the background page reclaiming may introduce latency
for some workloads. So, in this patch, during page allocation we will
detect whether the number of free pages of the zone is below high
watermark. If so, we will stop increasing PCP high in allocating path,
decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. With this, we can
reduce the possibility of the premature background page reclaiming caused
by too large PCP.
The high watermark checking is done in allocating path to reduce the
overhead in hotter freeing path.

The target to tune PCP high automatically is as follows,
- Minimize allocation/freeing from/to shared zone
- Minimize idle pages in PCP
- Minimize pages in PCP if the system free pages is too few
To reach these target, a tuning algorithm as follows is designed,
- When we refill PCP via allocating from the zone, increase PCP high.
Because if we had larger PCP, we could avoid to allocate from the
zone.
- In periodic vmstat updating kworker (via refresh_cpu_vm_stats()),
decrease PCP high to try to free possible idle PCP pages.
- When page reclaiming is active for the zone, stop increasing PCP
high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in
freeing path.
So, the PCP high can be tuned to the page allocating/freeing depth of
workloads eventually.
One issue of the algorithm is that if the number of pages allocated is
much more than that of pages freed on a CPU, the PCP high may become the
maximal value even if the allocating/freeing depth is small. But this
isn't a severe issue, because there are no idle pages in this case.
One alternative choice is to increase PCP high when we drain PCP via
trying to free pages to the zone, but don't increase PCP high during PCP
refilling. This can avoid the issue above. But if the number of pages
allocated is much less than that of pages freed on a CPU, there will be
many idle pages in PCP and it is hard to free these idle pages.
1/8 (>> 3) of PCP high will be decreased periodically. The value 1/8 is
kind of arbitrary. Just to make sure that the idle PCP pages will be
freed eventually.
On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances
in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the
kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. With the patch, the
build time decreases 3.5%. The cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly
for zone lock) decreases from 11.0% to 0.5%. The number of PCP draining
for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 65.6%. The number of
pages allocated from zone (instead of from PCP) decreases 83.9%.
