fs/writeback: convert wbc_account_cgroup_owner to take a folio

2025-01-17T12:40:33Z

[ Upstream commit 30dac24e14b52e1787572d1d4e06eeabe8a63630 ] Most of the callers of wbc_account_cgroup_owner() are converting a folio to page before calling the function. wbc_account_cgroup_owner() is converting the page back to a folio to call mem_cgroup_css_from_folio(). Convert wbc_account_cgroup_owner() to take a folio instead of a page, and convert all callers to pass a folio directly except f2fs. Convert the page to folio for all the callers from f2fs as they were the only callers calling wbc_account_cgroup_owner() with a page. As f2fs is already in the process of converting to folios, these call sites might also soon be calling wbc_account_cgroup_owner() with a folio directly in the future. No functional changes. Only compile tested.

zram: permit only one post-processing operation at a time

2024-12-05T13:02:16Z

[ Upstream commit 58652f2b6d21f2874c9f060165ec7e03e8b1fc71 ] Both recompress and writeback soon will unlock slots during processing, which makes things too complex wrt possible race-conditions. We still want to clear PP_SLOT in slot_free, because this is how we figure out that slot that was selected for post-processing has been released under us and when we start post-processing we check if slot still has PP_SLOT set. At the same time, theoretically, we can have something like this: CPU0 CPU1 recompress scan slots set PP_SLOT unlock slot slot_free clear PP_SLOT allocate PP_SLOT writeback scan slots set PP_SLOT unlock slot select PP-slot test PP_SLOT So recompress will not detect that slot has been re-used and re-selected for concurrent writeback post-processing. Make sure that we only permit on post-processing operation at a time. So now recompress and writeback post-processing don't race against each other, we only need to handle slot re-use (slot_free and write), which is handled individually by each pp operation. Having recompress and writeback competing for the same slots is not exactly good anyway (can't imagine anyone doing that).

tpm: Opt-in in disable PCR integrity protection

2024-11-13T19:10:45Z

The initial HMAC session feature added TPM bus encryption and/or integrity protection to various in-kernel TPM operations. This can cause performance bottlenecks with IMA, as it heavily utilizes PCR extend operations. In order to mitigate this performance issue, introduce a kernel command-line parameter to the TPM driver for disabling the integrity protection for PCR extend operations (i.e. TPM2_PCR_Extend).

mm: count zeromap read and set for swapout and swapin

2024-11-11T08:00:37Z

When the proportion of folios from the zeromap is small, missing their accounting may not significantly impact profiling. However, it's easy to construct a scenario where this becomes an issue—for example, allocating 1 GB of memory, writing zeros from userspace, followed by MADV_PAGEOUT, and then swapping it back in. In this case, the swap-out and swap-in counts seem to vanish into a black hole, potentially causing semantic ambiguity. On the other hand, Usama reported that zero-filled pages can exceed 10% in workloads utilizing zswap, while Hailong noted that some app in Android have more than 6% zero-filled pages. Before commit 0ca0c24e3211 ("mm: store zero pages to be swapped out in a bitmap"), both zswap and zRAM implemented similar optimizations, leading to these optimized-out pages being counted in either zswap or zRAM counters (with pswpin/pswpout also increasing for zRAM). With zeromap functioning prior to both zswap and zRAM, userspace will no longer detect these swap-out and swap-in actions. We have three ways to address this: 1. Introduce a dedicated counter specifically for the zeromap. 2. Use pswpin/pswpout accounting, treating the zero map as a standard backend. This approach aligns with zRAM's current handling of same-page fills at the device level. However, it would mean losing the optimized-out page counters previously available in zRAM and would not align with systems using zswap. Additionally, as noted by Nhat Pham, pswpin/pswpout counters apply only to I/O done directly to the backend device. 3. Count zeromap pages under zswap, aligning with system behavior when zswap is enabled. However, this would not be consistent with zRAM, nor would it align with systems lacking both zswap and zRAM. Given the complications with options 2 and 3, this patch selects option 1. We can find these counters from /proc/vmstat (counters for the whole system) and memcg's memory.stat (counters for the interested memcg). For example: $ grep -E 'swpin_zero|swpout_zero' /proc/vmstat swpin_zero 1648 swpout_zero 33536 $ grep -E 'swpin_zero|swpout_zero' /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/memory.stat swpin_zero 3905 swpout_zero 3985 This patch does not address any specific zeromap bug, but the missing swpout and swpin counts for zero-filled pages can be highly confusing and may mislead user-space agents that rely on changes in these counters as indicators. Therefore, we add a Fixes tag to encourage the inclusion of this counter in any kernel versions with zeromap. Many thanks to Kanchana for the contribution of changing count_objcg_event() to count_objcg_events() to support large folios[1], which has now been incorporated into this patch.

mm: fix docs for the kernel parameter ``thp_anon=``

2024-11-07T22:14:59Z

If we add ``thp_anon=32,64K:always`` to the kernel command line, we will see the following error: [ 0.000000] huge_memory: thp_anon=32,64K:always: error parsing string, ignoring setting This happens because the correct format isn't ``thp_anon=,[KMG]:```, as [KMG] must follow each number to especify its unit. So, the correct format is ``thp_anon=[KMG],[KMG]:```. Therefore, adjust the documentation to reflect the correct format of the parameter ``thp_anon=``.

ipe: allow secondary and platform keyrings to install/update policies

2024-10-17T18:46:10Z

The current policy management makes it impossible to use IPE in a general purpose distribution. In such cases the users are not building the kernel, the distribution is, and access to the private key included in the trusted keyring is, for obvious reason, not available. This means that users have no way to enable IPE, since there will be no built-in generic policy, and no access to the key to sign updates validated by the trusted keyring. Just as we do for dm-verity, kernel modules and more, allow the secondary and platform keyrings to also validate policies. This allows users enrolling their own keys in UEFI db or MOK to also sign policies, and enroll them. This makes it sensible to enable IPE in general purpose distributions, as it becomes usable by any user wishing to do so. Keys in these keyrings can already load kernels and kernel modules, so there is no security downgrade. Add a kconfig each, like dm-verity does, but default to enabled if the dependencies are available.
