Patch series "two small vmalloc cleanups".
This patch (of 2):
__vmalloc_area_node currently has four different gfp_t variables to
just express this simple logic:
- use the passed in mask, plus __GFP_NOWARN and __GFP_HIGHMEM (if
suitable) for the underlying page allocation
- use just the reclaim flags from the passed in mask plus __GFP_ZERO
for allocating the page array
Simplify this down to just use the pre-existing nested_gfp as-is for
the page array allocation, and just the passed in gfp_mask for the
page allocation, after conditionally ORing __GFP_HIGHMEM into it. This
also makes the allocation warning a little more correct.
Also initialize two variables at the time of declaration while touching
this area.

i915_gem_object_map implements fairly low-level vmap functionality in a
driver. Split it into two helpers, one for remapping kernel memory which
can use vmap, and one for I/O memory that uses vmap_pfn.
The only practical difference is that alloc_vm_area prefeaults the vmalloc
area PTEs, which doesn't seem to be required here for the kernel memory
case (and could be added to vmap using a flag if actually required).

shmem_pin_map somewhat awkwardly reimplements vmap using alloc_vm_area and
manual pte setup. The only practical difference is that alloc_vm_area
prefeaults the vmalloc area PTEs, which doesn't seem to be required here
(and could be added to vmap using a flag if actually required). Switch to
use vmap, and use vfree to free both the vmalloc mapping and the page
array, as well as dropping the references to each page.

Patch series "remove alloc_vm_area", v4.
This series removes alloc_vm_area, which was left over from the big
vmalloc interface rework. It is a rather arkane interface, basicaly the
equivalent of get_vm_area + actually faulting in all PTEs in the allocated
area. It was originally addeds for Xen (which isn't modular to start
with), and then grew users in zsmalloc and i915 which seems to mostly
qualify as abuses of the interface, especially for i915 as a random driver
should not set up PTE bits directly.
This patch (of 11):
* Document that you can call vfree() on an address returned from vmap()
* Remove the note about the minimum size -- the minimum size of a vmalloc
allocation is one page
* Add a Context: section
* Fix capitalisation
* Reword the prohibition on calling from NMI context to avoid a double
negative

There is usecase that System Management Software(SMS) want to give a
memory hint like MADV_[COLD|PAGEEOUT] to other processes and in the
case of Android, it is the ActivityManagerService.
The information required to make the reclaim decision is not known to the
app. Instead, it is known to the centralized userspace
daemon(ActivityManagerService), and that daemon must be able to initiate
reclaim on its own without any app involvement.
To solve the issue, this patch introduces a new syscall
process_madvise(2). It uses pidfd of an external process to give the
hint. It also supports vector address range because Android app has
thousands of vmas due to zygote so it's totally waste of CPU and power if
we should call the syscall one by one for each vma.(With testing 2000-vma
syscall vs 1-vector syscall, it showed 15% performance improvement. I
think it would be bigger in real practice because the testing ran very
cache friendly environment).
Another potential use case for the vector range is to amortize the cost
ofTLB shootdowns for multiple ranges when using MADV_DONTNEED; this could
benefit users like TCP receive zerocopy and malloc implementations. In
future, we could find more usecases for other advises so let's make it
happens as API since we introduce a new syscall at this moment. With
that, existing madvise(2) user could replace it with process_madvise(2)
with their own pid if they want to have batch address ranges support
feature.
ince it could affect other process's address range, only privileged
process(PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS) or something else(e.g., being the same
UID) gives it the right to ptrace the process could use it successfully.
The flag argument is reserved for future use if we need to extend the API.
I think supporting all hints madvise has/will supported/support to
process_madvise is rather risky. Because we are not sure all hints make
sense from external process and implementation for the hint may rely on
the caller being in the current context so it could be error-prone. Thus,
I just limited hints as MADV_[COLD|PAGEOUT] in this patch.
If someone want to add other hints, we could hear the usecase and review
it for each hint. It's safer for maintenance rather than introducing a
buggy syscall but hard to fix it later.
So finally, the API is as follows,
ssize_t process_madvise(int pidfd, const struct iovec *iovec,
unsigned long vlen, int advice, unsigned int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The process_madvise() system call is used to give advice or directions
to the kernel about the address ranges from external process as well as
local process. It provides the advice to address ranges of process
described by iovec and vlen. The goal of such advice is to improve
system or application performance.
The pidfd selects the process referred to by the PID file descriptor
specified in pidfd. (See pidofd_open(2) for further information)
The pointer iovec points to an array of iovec structures, defined in
<sys/uio.h> as:
struct iovec {
void *iov_base; /* starting address */
size_t iov_len; /* number of bytes to be advised */
};
The iovec describes address ranges beginning at address(iov_base)
and with size length of bytes(iov_len).
The vlen represents the number of elements in iovec.
The advice is indicated in the advice argument, which is one of the
following at this moment if the target process specified by pidfd is
external.
MADV_COLD
MADV_PAGEOUT
Permission to provide a hint to external process is governed by a
ptrace access mode PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS check; see ptrace(2).
The process_madvise supports every advice madvise(2) has if target
process is in same thread group with calling process so user could
use process_madvise(2) to extend existing madvise(2) to support
vector address ranges.
RETURN VALUE
On success, process_madvise() returns the number of bytes advised.
This return value may be less than the total number of requested
bytes, if an error occurred. The caller should check return value
to determine whether a partial advice occurred.
FAQ:
Q.1 - Why does any external entity have better knowledge?
Quote from Sandeep
"For Android, every application (including the special SystemServer)
are forked from Zygote. The reason of course is to share as many
libraries and classes between the two as possible to benefit from the
preloading during boot.
After applications start, (almost) all of the APIs end up calling into
this SystemServer process over IPC (binder) and back to the
application.
In a fully running system, the SystemServer monitors every single
process periodically to calculate their PSS / RSS and also decides
which process is "important" to the user for interactivity.
So, because of how these processes start _and_ the fact that the
SystemServer is looping to monitor each process, it does tend to *know*
which address range of the application is not used / useful.
Besides, we can never rely on applications to clean things up
themselves. We've had the "hey app1, the system is low on memory,
please trim your memory usage down" notifications for a long time[1].
They rely on applications honoring the broadcasts and very few do.
So, if we want to avoid the inevitable killing of the application and
restarting it, some way to be able to tell the OS about unimportant
memory in these applications will be useful.
- ssp
Q.2 - How to guarantee the race(i.e., object validation) between when
giving a hint from an external process and get the hint from the target
process?
process_madvise operates on the target process's address space as it
exists at the instant that process_madvise is called. If the space
target process can run between the time the process_madvise process
inspects the target process address space and the time that
process_madvise is actually called, process_madvise may operate on
memory regions that the calling process does not expect. It's the
responsibility of the process calling process_madvise to close this
race condition. For example, the calling process can suspend the
target process with ptrace, SIGSTOP, or the freezer cgroup so that it
doesn't have an opportunity to change its own address space before
process_madvise is called. Another option is to operate on memory
regions that the caller knows a priori will be unchanged in the target
process. Yet another option is to accept the race for certain
process_madvise calls after reasoning that mistargeting will do no
harm. The suggested API itself does not provide synchronization. It
also apply other APIs like move_pages, process_vm_write.
The race isn't really a problem though. Why is it so wrong to require
that callers do their own synchronization in some manner? Nobody
objects to write(2) merely because it's possible for two processes to
open the same file and clobber each other's writes --- instead, we tell
people to use flock or something. Think about mmap. It never
guarantees newly allocated address space is still valid when the user
tries to access it because other threads could unmap the memory right
before. That's where we need synchronization by using other API or
design from userside. It shouldn't be part of API itself. If someone
needs more fine-grained synchronization rather than process level,
there were two ideas suggested - cookie[2] and anon-fd[3]. Both are
applicable via using last reserved argument of the API but I don't
think it's necessary right now since we have already ways to prevent
the race so don't want to add additional complexity with more
fine-grained optimization model.
To make the API extend, it reserved an unsigned long as last argument
so we could support it in future if someone really needs it.
Q.3 - Why doesn't ptrace work?
Injecting an madvise in the target process using ptrace would not work
for us because such injected madvise would have to be executed by the
target process, which means that process would have to be runnable and
that creates the risk of the abovementioned race and hinting a wrong
VMA. Furthermore, we want to act the hint in caller's context, not the
callee's, because the callee is usually limited in cpuset/cgroups or
even freezed state so they can't act by themselves quick enough, which
causes more thrashing/kill. It doesn't work if the target process are
ptraced(e.g., strace, debugger, minidump) because a process can have at
most one ptracer.

Patch series "introduce memory hinting API for external process", v9.
Now, we have MADV_PAGEOUT and MADV_COLD as madvise hinting API. With
that, application could give hints to kernel what memory range are
preferred to be reclaimed. However, in some platform(e.g., Android), the
information required to make the hinting decision is not known to the app.
Instead, it is known to a centralized userspace daemon(e.g.,
ActivityManagerService), and that daemon must be able to initiate reclaim
on its own without any app involvement.
To solve the concern, this patch introduces new syscall -
process_madvise(2). Bascially, it's same with madvise(2) syscall but it
has some differences.
1. It needs pidfd of target process to provide the hint
2. It supports only MADV_{COLD|PAGEOUT|MERGEABLE|UNMEREABLE} at this
moment. Other hints in madvise will be opened when there are explicit
requests from community to prevent unexpected bugs we couldn't support.
3. Only privileged processes can do something for other process's
address space.
For more detail of the new API, please see "mm: introduce external memory
hinting API" description in this patchset.
This patch (of 3):
In upcoming patches, do_madvise will be called from external process
context so we shouldn't asssume "current" is always hinted process's
task_struct.
Furthermore, we must not access mm_struct via task->mm, but obtain it via
access_mm() once (in the following patch) and only use that pointer [1],
so pass it to do_madvise() as well. Note the vma->vm_mm pointers are
safe, so we can use them further down the call stack.
And let's pass current->mm as arguments of do_madvise so it shouldn't
change existing behavior but prepare next patch to make review easy.

This patch reduces the running time for hmm-tests from about 10+ seconds,
to just under 1.0 second, for an approximately 10x speedup. That brings
it in line with most of the other tests in selftests/vm, which mostly run
in < 1 sec.
This is done with a one-line change that simply reduces the number of
iterations of several tests, from 256, to 10. Thanks to Ralph Campbell
for suggesting changing NTIMES as a way to get the speedup.

create_elf_tables() runs after setup_new_exec(), so other tasks can
already access our new mm and do things like process_madvise() on it. (At
the time I'm writing this commit, process_madvise() is not in mainline
yet, but has been in akpm's tree for some time.)
While I believe that there are currently no APIs that would actually allow
another process to mess up our VMA tree (process_madvise() is limited to
MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT, and uring and userfaultfd cannot reach an mm
under which no syscalls have been executed yet), this seems like an
accident waiting to happen.
Let's make sure that we always take the mmap lock around GUP paths as long
as another process might be able to see the mm.
(Yes, this diff looks suspicious because we drop the lock before doing
anything with `vma`, but that's because we actually don't do anything with
it apart from the NULL check.)

To be safe against concurrent changes to the VMA tree, we must take the
mmap lock around GUP operations (excluding the GUP-fast family of
operations, which will take the mmap lock by themselves if necessary).
This code is only for testing, and it's only reachable by root through
debugfs, so this doesn't really have any impact; however, if we want to
add lockdep asserts into the GUP path, we need to have clean locking here.

for this purpose.
However, Vlastimil informs that all migration source pages come from a
single node. In this case, we don't need to check the node id for each
page and we don't need to re-set the target nodemask for each page by
using the wrapper. Set up the migration_target_control once and use it

If a memcg to charge can be determined (using remote charging API), there
are no reasons to exclude allocations made from an interrupt context from
the accounting.
Such allocations will pass even if the resulting memcg size will exceed
the hard limit, but it will affect the application of the memory pressure
and an inability to put the workload under the limit will eventually
trigger the OOM.
To use active_memcg() helper, memcg_kmem_bypass() is moved back to
memcontrol.c.

Remote memcg charging API uses current->active_memcg to store the
currently active memory cgroup, which overwrites the memory cgroup of the
current process. It works well for normal contexts, but doesn't work for
interrupt contexts: indeed, if an interrupt occurs during the execution of
a section with an active memcg set, all allocations inside the interrupt
will be charged to the active memcg set (given that we'll enable
accounting for allocations from an interrupt context). But because the
interrupt might have no relation to the active memcg set outside, it's
obviously wrong from the accounting prospective.
To resolve this problem, let's add a global percpu int_active_memcg
variable, which will be used to store an active memory cgroup which will
be used from interrupt contexts. set_active_memcg() will transparently
use current->active_memcg or int_active_memcg depending on the context.
To make the read part simple and transparent for the caller, let's
introduce two new functions:
- struct mem_cgroup *active_memcg(void),
- struct mem_cgroup *get_active_memcg(void).
They are returning the active memcg if it's set, hiding all implementation
details: where to get it depending on the current context.

Patch series "mm: kmem: kernel memory accounting in an interrupt context".
This patchset implements memcg-based memory accounting of allocations made
from an interrupt context.
Historically, such allocations were passed unaccounted mostly because
charging the memory cgroup of the current process wasn't an option. Also
performance reasons were likely a reason too.
The remote charging API allows to temporarily overwrite the currently
active memory cgroup, so that all memory allocations are accounted towards
some specified memory cgroup instead of the memory cgroup of the current
process.
This patchset extends the remote charging API so that it can be used from
an interrupt context. Then it removes the fence that prevented the
accounting of allocations made from an interrupt context. It also
contains a couple of optimizations/code refactorings.
This patchset doesn't directly enable accounting for any specific
allocations, but prepares the code base for it. The bpf memory accounting
will likely be the first user of it: a typical example is a bpf program
parsing an incoming network packet, which allocates an entry in hashmap
map to store some information.
This patch (of 4):
Currently memcg_kmem_bypass() is called before obtaining the current
memory/obj cgroup using get_mem/obj_cgroup_from_current(). Moving
memcg_kmem_bypass() into get_mem/obj_cgroup_from_current() reduces the
number of call sites and allows further code simplifications.

Currently the remote memcg charging API consists of two functions:
memalloc_use_memcg() and memalloc_unuse_memcg(), which set and clear the
memcg value, which overwrites the memcg of the current task.
memalloc_use_memcg(target_memcg);
<...>
memalloc_unuse_memcg();
It works perfectly for allocations performed from a normal context,
however an attempt to call it from an interrupt context or just nest two
remote charging blocks will lead to an incorrect accounting. On exit from
the inner block the active memcg will be cleared instead of being
restored.
memalloc_use_memcg(target_memcg);
memalloc_use_memcg(target_memcg_2);
<...>
memalloc_unuse_memcg();
Error: allocation here are charged to the memcg of the current
process instead of target_memcg.
memalloc_unuse_memcg();
This patch extends the remote charging API by switching to a single
function: struct mem_cgroup *set_active_memcg(struct mem_cgroup *memcg),
which sets the new value and returns the old one. So a remote charging
block will look like:
old_memcg = set_active_memcg(target_memcg);
<...>
set_active_memcg(old_memcg);
This patch is heavily based on the patch by Johannes Weiner, which can be

When we try to use file already used as a quota file again (for the same
or different quota type), strange things can happen. At the very least
lockdep annotations may be wrong but also inode flags may be wrongly set
/ reset. When the file is used for two quota types at once we can even
corrupt the file and likely crash the kernel. Catch all these cases by
checking whether passed file is already used as quota file and bail
early in that case.
This fixes occasional generic/219 failure due to lockdep complaint.

When ext4 is formatted with lazy_journal_init=1 and transactions from
the previous filesystem are still on disk, it is possible that they are
considered during a recovery after a crash. Because the checksum seed
has changed, the CRC check will fail, and the journal recovery fails
with checksum error although the journal is otherwise perfectly valid.
Fix the problem by checking commit block time stamps to determine
whether the data in the journal block is just stale or whether it is
indeed corrupt.

This implements journal callbacks j_submit|finish_inode_data_buffers()
with different behavior for data=journal: to write-protect pages under
commit, preventing changes to buffers writeably mapped to userspace.
If a buffer's content changes between commit's checksum calculation
and write-out to disk, it can cause journal recovery/mount failures
upon a kernel crash or power loss.

In j_submit_inode_data_buffers() we write-protect the inode's pages
with write_cache_pages() and redirty w/ writepage callback if needed.
In j_finish_inode_data_buffers() there is nothing do to.
And in order to use the callbacks, inodes are added to the inode list
in transaction in __ext4_journalled_writepage() and ext4_page_mkwrite().
In ext4_page_mkwrite() we must make sure that the buffers are attached

These are two fixes for data journalling required by
the next patch, discovered while testing it.
First, the optimization to return early if all buffers
are mapped is not appropriate for the next patch:
The inode _must_ be added to the transaction's list in
data=journal mode (so to write-protect pages on commit)
thus we cannot return early there.
Second, once that optimization to reduce transactions
was disabled for data=journal mode, more transactions
happened, and occasionally hit this warning message:
'JBD2: Spotted dirty metadata buffer'.
Reason is, block_page_mkwrite() will set_buffer_dirty()
before do_journal_get_write_access() that is there to
prevent it. This issue was masked by the optimization.
So, on data=journal use __block_write_begin() instead.
This also requires page locking and len recalculation.
(see block_page_mkwrite() for implementation details.)
Finally, as Jan noted there is little sharing between
data=journal and other modes in ext4_page_mkwrite().
However, a prototype of ext4_journalled_page_mkwrite()
showed there still would be lots of duplicated lines
(tens of) that didn't seem worth it.
Thus this patch ends up with an ugly goto to skip all
non-data journalling code (to avoid long indentations,
but that can be changed..) in the beginning, and just
a conditional in the transaction section.
Well, we skip a common part to data journalling which
is the page truncated check, but we do it again after
ext4_journal_start() when we re-acquire the page lock
(so not to acquire the page lock twice needlessly for
data journalling.)

j_submit|finish_inode_data_buffers()

The existing users of the current behavior (ext4, ocfs2)

Users are callers of jbd2_journal_inode_ranged_write|wait(),
which adds the inode to the transaction's inode list with
the JI_WRITE|WAIT_DATA flags. Only ext4 and ocfs2 in-tree.
Both CONFIG_EXT4_FS and CONFIG_OCSFS2_FS select CONFIG_JBD2,

because currently we read metadata buffer through different open codes
(e.g. ll_rw_block(), bh_submit_read() and invoke submit_bh() directly).
So, it's time to add common helpers to unify in all the places reading
metadata buffers instead. This patch add 3 helpers:
- ext4_read_bh_nowait(): async read metadata buffer if it's actually
not uptodate, clear buffer_verified bit before read from disk.
- ext4_read_bh(): sync version of read metadata buffer, it will wait
until the read operation return and check the return status.
- ext4_read_bh_lock(): try to lock the buffer before read buffer, it
will skip reading if the buffer is already locked.
After this patch, we need to use these helpers in all the places reading
metadata buffer instead of different open codes.

The metadata buffer is no longer trusted after we read it from disk
again because it is not uptodate for some reasons (e.g. failed to write
back). Otherwise we may get below memory corruption problem in
ext4_ext_split()->memset() if we read stale data from the newly
allocated extent block on disk which has been failed to async write
out but miss verify again since the verified bit has already been set
on the buffer.

Fix this by clearing buffer's verified bit if we read meta block from
disk again.

If userspace asked fsmap to try to count the number of entries, we cannot
return more than UINT_MAX entries because fmh_entries is u32.
Therefore, stop counting if we hit this limit or else we will waste time
to return truncated results.
