When freeing a page with an order >= shuffle_page_order randomly select
the front or back of the list for insertion.
While the mm tries to defragment physical pages into huge pages this can
tend to make the page allocator more predictable over time. Inject the
front-back randomness to preserve the initial randomness established by
shuffle_free_memory() when the kernel was booted.
The overhead of this manipulation is constrained by only being applied
for MAX_ORDER sized pages by default.

In preparation for runtime randomization of the zone lists, take all
(well, most of) the list_*() functions in the buddy allocator and put
them in helper functions. Provide a common control point for injecting
additional behavior when freeing pages.

Patch series "mm: Randomize free memory", v10.
This patch (of 3):
Randomization of the page allocator improves the average utilization of
a direct-mapped memory-side-cache. Memory side caching is a platform
capability that Linux has been previously exposed to in HPC
(high-performance computing) environments on specialty platforms. In
that instance it was a smaller pool of high-bandwidth-memory relative to
higher-capacity / lower-bandwidth DRAM. Now, this capability is going
to be found on general purpose server platforms where DRAM is a cache in
front of higher latency persistent memory [1].
Robert offered an explanation of the state of the art of Linux
interactions with memory-side-caches [2], and I copy it here:
It's been a problem in the HPC space:
http://www.nersc.gov/research-and-development/knl-cache-mode-performance-coe/
A kernel module called zonesort is available to try to help:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/xeon-phi-software
and this abandoned patch series proposed that for the kernel:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
Dan's patch series doesn't attempt to ensure buffers won't conflict, but
also reduces the chance that the buffers will. This will make performance
more consistent, albeit slower than "optimal" (which is near impossible
to attain in a general-purpose kernel). That's better than forcing
users to deploy remedies like:
"To eliminate this gradual degradation, we have added a Stream
measurement to the Node Health Check that follows each job;
nodes are rebooted whenever their measured memory bandwidth
falls below 300 GB/s."
A replacement for zonesort was merged upstream in commit cc9aec03e58f
("x86/numa_emulation: Introduce uniform split capability"). With this
numa_emulation capability, memory can be split into cache sized
("near-memory" sized) numa nodes. A bind operation to such a node, and
disabling workloads on other nodes, enables full cache performance.
However, once the workload exceeds the cache size then cache conflicts
are unavoidable. While HPC environments might be able to tolerate
time-scheduling of cache sized workloads, for general purpose server
platforms, the oversubscribed cache case will be the common case.
The worst case scenario is that a server system owner benchmarks a
workload at boot with an un-contended cache only to see that performance
degrade over time, even below the average cache performance due to
excessive conflicts. Randomization clips the peaks and fills in the
valleys of cache utilization to yield steady average performance.
Here are some performance impact details of the patches:
1/ An Intel internal synthetic memory bandwidth measurement tool, saw a
3X speedup in a contrived case that tries to force cache conflicts.
The contrived cased used the numa_emulation capability to force an
instance of the benchmark to be run in two of the near-memory sized
numa nodes. If both instances were placed on the same emulated they
would fit and cause zero conflicts. While on separate emulated nodes
without randomization they underutilized the cache and conflicted
unnecessarily due to the in-order allocation per node.
2/ A well known Java server application benchmark was run with a heap
size that exceeded cache size by 3X. The cache conflict rate was 8%
for the first run and degraded to 21% after page allocator aging. With
randomization enabled the rate levelled out at 11%.
3/ A MongoDB workload did not observe measurable difference in
cache-conflict rates, but the overall throughput dropped by 7% with
randomization in one case.
4/ Mel Gorman ran his suite of performance workloads with randomization
enabled on platforms without a memory-side-cache and saw a mix of some
improvements and some losses [3].
While there is potentially significant improvement for applications that
depend on low latency access across a wide working-set, the performance
may be negligible to negative for other workloads. For this reason the
shuffle capability defaults to off unless a direct-mapped
memory-side-cache is detected. Even then, the page_alloc.shuffle=0
parameter can be specified to disable the randomization on those systems.
Outside of memory-side-cache utilization concerns there is potentially
security benefit from randomization. Some data exfiltration and
return-oriented-programming attacks rely on the ability to infer the
location of sensitive data objects. The kernel page allocator, especially
early in system boot, has predictable first-in-first out behavior for
physical pages. Pages are freed in physical address order when first
onlined.
Quoting Kees:
"While we already have a base-address randomization
(CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY), attacks against the same hardware and
memory layouts would certainly be using the predictability of
allocation ordering (i.e. for attacks where the base address isn't
important: only the relative positions between allocated memory).
This is common in lots of heap-style attacks. They try to gain
control over ordering by spraying allocations, etc.
I'd really like to see this because it gives us something similar
to CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM but for the page allocator."
While SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM reduces the predictability of some local slab
caches it leaves vast bulk of memory to be predictably in order allocated.
However, it should be noted, the concrete security benefits are hard to
quantify, and no known CVE is mitigated by this randomization.
Introduce shuffle_free_memory(), and its helper shuffle_zone(), to perform
a Fisher-Yates shuffle of the page allocator 'free_area' lists when they
are initially populated with free memory at boot and at hotplug time. Do
this based on either the presence of a page_alloc.shuffle=Y command line
parameter, or autodetection of a memory-side-cache (to be added in a
follow-on patch).
The shuffling is done in terms of CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ORDER sized free
pages where the default CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ORDER is MAX_ORDER-1 i.e. 10,
4MB this trades off randomization granularity for time spent shuffling.
MAX_ORDER-1 was chosen to be minimally invasive to the page allocator
while still showing memory-side cache behavior improvements, and the
expectation that the security implications of finer granularity
randomization is mitigated by CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM. The
performance impact of the shuffling appears to be in the noise compared to
other memory initialization work.
This initial randomization can be undone over time so a follow-on patch is
introduced to inject entropy on page free decisions. It is reasonable to
ask if the page free entropy is sufficient, but it is not enough due to
the in-order initial freeing of pages. At the start of that process
putting page1 in front or behind page0 still keeps them close together,
page2 is still near page1 and has a high chance of being adjacent. As
more pages are added ordering diversity improves, but there is still high
page locality for the low address pages and this leads to no significant
impact to the cache conflict rate.

vmap_lazy_nr variable has atomic_t type that is 4 bytes integer value on
both 32 and 64 bit systems. lazy_max_pages() deals with "unsigned long"
that is 8 bytes on 64 bit system, thus vmap_lazy_nr should be 8 bytes on
64 bit as well.

Commit 763b218ddfaf ("mm: add preempt points into __purge_vmap_area_lazy()")
introduced some preempt points, one of those is making an allocation
more prioritized over lazy free of vmap areas.
Prioritizing an allocation over freeing does not work well all the time,
i.e. it should be rather a compromise.
1) Number of lazy pages directly influences the busy list length thus
on operations like: allocation, lookup, unmap, remove, etc.
2) Under heavy stress of vmalloc subsystem I run into a situation when
memory usage gets increased hitting out_of_memory -> panic state due to
completely blocking of logic that frees vmap areas in the
__purge_vmap_area_lazy() function.
Establish a threshold passing which the freeing is prioritized back over
allocation creating a balance between each other.
Using vmalloc test driver in "stress mode", i.e. When all available
test cases are run simultaneously on all online CPUs applying a
pressure on the vmalloc subsystem, my HiKey 960 board runs out of
memory due to the fact that __purge_vmap_area_lazy() logic simply is
not able to free pages in time.
How I run it:
1) You should build your kernel with CONFIG_TEST_VMALLOC=m
2) ./tools/testing/selftests/vm/test_vmalloc.sh stress
During this test "vmap_lazy_nr" pages will go far beyond acceptable
lazy_max_pages() threshold, that will lead to enormous busy list size
and other problems including allocation time and so on.

Psi monitor aims to provide a low-latency short-term pressure detection
mechanism configurable by users. It allows users to monitor psi metrics
growth and trigger events whenever a metric raises above user-defined
threshold within user-defined time window.
Time window and threshold are both expressed in usecs. Multiple psi
resources with different thresholds and window sizes can be monitored
concurrently.
Psi monitors activate when system enters stall state for the monitored
psi metric and deactivate upon exit from the stall state. While system
is in the stall state psi signal growth is monitored at a rate of 10
times per tracking window. Min window size is 500ms, therefore the min
monitoring interval is 50ms. Max window size is 10s with monitoring
interval of 1s.
When activated psi monitor stays active for at least the duration of one
tracking window to avoid repeated activations/deactivations when psi
signal is bouncing.
Notifications to the users are rate-limited to one per tracking window.

Patch series "psi: pressure stall monitors", v6.
This is a respin of:
https://lwn.net/ml/linux-kernel/20190308184311.144521-1-surenb%40google.com/
Android is adopting psi to detect and remedy memory pressure that
results in stuttering and decreased responsiveness on mobile devices.
Psi gives us the stall information, but because we're dealing with
latencies in the millisecond range, periodically reading the pressure
files to detect stalls in a timely fashion is not feasible. Psi also
doesn't aggregate its averages at a high-enough frequency right now.
This patch series extends the psi interface such that users can
configure sensitive latency thresholds and use poll() and friends to be
notified when these are breached.
As high-frequency aggregation is costly, it implements an aggregation
method that is optimized for fast, short-interval averaging, and makes
the aggregation frequency adaptive, such that high-frequency updates
only happen while monitored stall events are actively occurring.
With these patches applied, Android can monitor for, and ward off,
mounting memory shortages before they cause problems for the user. For
example, using memory stall monitors in userspace low memory killer
daemon (lmkd) we can detect mounting pressure and kill less important
processes before device becomes visibly sluggish. In our memory stress
testing psi memory monitors produce roughly 10x less false positives
compared to vmpressure signals. Having ability to specify multiple
triggers for the same psi metric allows other parts of Android framework
to monitor memory state of the device and act accordingly.
The new interface is straight-forward. The user opens one of the
pressure files for writing and writes a trigger description into the
file descriptor that defines the stall state - some or full, and the
maximum stall time over a given window of time. E.g.:
/* Signal when stall time exceeds 100ms of a 1s window */
char trigger[] = "full 100000 1000000"
fd = open("/proc/pressure/memory")
write(fd, trigger, sizeof(trigger))
while (poll() >= 0) {
...
};
close(fd);
When the monitored stall state is entered, psi adapts its aggregation
frequency according to what the configured time window requires in order
to emit event signals in a timely fashion. Once the stalling subsides,
aggregation reverts back to normal.
The trigger is associated with the open file descriptor. To stop
monitoring, the user only needs to close the file descriptor and the
trigger is discarded.
Patches 1-6 prepare the psi code for polling support. Patch 7
implements the adaptive polling logic, the pressure growth detection
optimized for short intervals, and hooks up write() and poll() on the
pressure files.
The patches were developed in collaboration with Johannes Weiner.
This patch (of 7):
The psi monitoring patches will need to determine the same states as
record_times(). To avoid calculating them twice, maintain a state mask
that can be consulted cheaply. Do this in a separate patch to keep the
churn in the main feature patch at a minimum.
This adds 4-byte state_mask member into psi_group_cpu struct which
results in its first cacheline-aligned part becoming 52 bytes long. Add
explicit values to enumeration element counters that affect
psi_group_cpu struct size.

The task structure is freed while get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() holds
rcu_read_lock() and dereferences mm->owner.
get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() failing fork()
---- ---
task = mm->owner
mm->owner = NULL;
free(task)
if (task) *task; /* use after free */
The fix consists in freeing the task with RCU also in the fork failure
case, exactly like it always happens for the regular exit(2) path. That
is enough to make the rcu_read_lock hold in get_mem_cgroup_from_mm()
(left side above) effective to avoid a use after free when dereferencing
the task structure.
An alternate possible fix would be to defer the delivery of the
userfaultfd contexts to the monitor until after fork() is guaranteed to
succeed. Such a change would require more changes because it would
create a strict ordering dependency where the uffd methods would need to
be called beyond the last potentially failing branch in order to be
safe. This solution as opposed only adds the dependency to common code
to set mm->owner to NULL and to free the task struct that was pointed by
mm->owner with RCU, if fork ends up failing. The userfaultfd methods
can still be called anywhere during the fork runtime and the monitor
will keep discarding orphaned "mm" coming from failed forks in userland.
This race condition couldn't trigger if CONFIG_MEMCG was set =n at build
time.

The test case we have is rightfully failing with the current kernel:

expected -1, got 3
This is in a vm, and CPU3 is the last valid one, hence asking for 4
should fail the setup with -EINVAL, not succeed. The problem is that
we're using array_index_nospec() with nr_cpu_ids as the index, hence we
wrap and end up using CPU0 instead of CPU4. This makes the setup
succeed where it should be failing.
We don't need to use array_index_nospec() as we're not indexing any
array with this. Instead just compare with nr_cpu_ids directly. This
is fine as we're checking with cpu_online() afterwards.

This is caused by us trying to allocate from a NULL kmem cache in
__hugepte_alloc(). The kmem cache is NULL because it was never
allocated in hugetlbpage_init(), because add_huge_page_size() returned
an error.
The reason add_huge_page_size() returned an error is a simple typo, we
are calling check_and_get_huge_psize(size) when we should be passing
shift instead.
The fact that we're able to trigger this path when the kmem caches are
NULL is a separate bug, ie. we should not advertise any hugepage sizes
if we haven't setup the required caches for them.
This was only seen with 4K pages, with 64K pages we don't need to
allocate any extra kmem caches because the 16M hugepage just occupies
a single entry at the PMD level.

commit 214bab448476 ("cifs: Call MID callback before destroying transport")
assumes that the MID callback should not take srv_mutex, this may not always
be true. SMB Direct requires the MID callback completed before calling
transport so all pending memory registration can be freed. So restore the
original calling sequence so TCP transport will use the same code, but moving
smbd_destroy() after all MID has been called.

Since 0cbe3e26abe0 ("mm: update ptep_modify_prot_start/commit to take
vm_area_struct as arg") the only place that uses the local 'mm' variable
in change_pte_range() is the call to set_pte_at().
Many architectures define set_pte_at() as macro that does not use the 'mm'
parameter, which generates the following compilation warning:
CC mm/mprotect.o
mm/mprotect.c: In function 'change_pte_range':
mm/mprotect.c:42:20: warning: unused variable 'mm' [-Wunused-variable]
struct mm_struct *mm = vma->vm_mm;
^~
Fix it by passing vma->mm to set_pte_at() and dropping the local 'mm'
variable in change_pte_range().

Most architectures do not need the memblock memory after the page
allocator is initialized, but only few enable ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK in the
arch Kconfig.
Replacing ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK with ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK and inverting the
logic makes it clear which architectures actually use memblock after
system initialization and skips the necessity to add ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK
to the architectures that are still missing that option.

Continuing discussion about 58b6e5e8f1ad ("hugetlbfs: fix memory leak for
resv_map") brought up the issue that inode->i_mapping may not point to the
address space embedded within the inode at inode eviction time. The
hugetlbfs truncate routine handles this by explicitly using inode->i_data.
However, code cleaning up the resv_map will still use the address space
pointed to by inode->i_mapping. Luckily, private_data is NULL for address
spaces in all such cases today but, there is no guarantee this will
continue.
Change all hugetlbfs code getting a resv_map pointer to explicitly get it
from the address space embedded within the inode. In addition, add more
comments in the code to indicate why this is being done.

Now that we are not using page address in handles directly, we can make
z3fold pages movable to decrease the memory fragmentation z3fold may
create over time.
This patch starts advertising non-headless z3fold pages as movable and
uses the existing kernel infrastructure to implement moving of such pages
per memory management subsystem's request. It thus implements 3 required
callbacks for page migration:
* isolation callback: z3fold_page_isolate(): try to isolate the page by
removing it from all lists. Pages scheduled for some activity and
mapped pages will not be isolated. Return true if isolation was
successful or false otherwise
* migration callback: z3fold_page_migrate(): re-check critical
conditions and migrate page contents to the new page provided by the
memory subsystem. Returns 0 on success or negative error code otherwise
* putback callback: z3fold_page_putback(): put back the page if
z3fold_page_migrate() for it failed permanently (i. e. not with
-EAGAIN code).

For z3fold to be able to move its pages per request of the memory
subsystem, it should not use direct object addresses in handles. Instead,
it will create abstract handles (3 per page) which will contain pointers
to z3fold objects. Thus, it will be possible to change these pointers
when z3fold page is moved.

The current z3fold implementation only searches this CPU's page lists for
a fitting page to put a new object into. This patch adds quick search for
very well fitting pages (i. e. those having exactly the required number
of free space) on other CPUs too, before allocating a new page for that
object.

Patch series "z3fold: support page migration", v2.
This patchset implements page migration support and slightly better buddy
search. To implement page migration support, z3fold has to move away from
the current scheme of handle encoding. i. e. stop encoding page address
in handles. Instead, a small per-page structure is created which will
contain actual addresses for z3fold objects, while pointers to fields of
that structure will be used as handles.
Thus, it will be possible to change the underlying addresses to reflect
page migration.
To support migration itself, 3 callbacks will be implemented:
1: isolation callback: z3fold_page_isolate(): try to isolate the page
by removing it from all lists. Pages scheduled for some activity and
mapped pages will not be isolated. Return true if isolation was
successful or false otherwise
2: migration callback: z3fold_page_migrate(): re-check critical
conditions and migrate page contents to the new page provided by the
system. Returns 0 on success or negative error code otherwise
3: putback callback: z3fold_page_putback(): put back the page if
z3fold_page_migrate() for it failed permanently (i. e. not with
-EAGAIN code).
To make sure an isolated page doesn't get freed, its kref is incremented
in z3fold_page_isolate() and decremented during post-migration compaction,
if migration was successful, or by z3fold_page_putback() in the other
case.
Since the new handle encoding scheme implies slight memory consumption
increase, better buddy search (which decreases memory consumption) is
included in this patchset.
This patch (of 4):
Introduce a separate helper function for object allocation, as well as 2
smaller helpers to add a buddy to the list and to get a pointer to the
pool from the z3fold header. No functional changes here.
