tg3_init_one() calls tg3_halt() without tp->lock despite its assumption
and causes deadlock.
If lockdep is enabled, a warning like this shows up before the stall:
[ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ]
3.19.0test #3 Tainted: G E
-------------------------------------
insmod/369 is trying to release lock (&(&tp->lock)->rlock) at:
[<ffffffffa02d5a1d>] tg3_chip_reset+0x14d/0x780 [tg3]
but there are no more locks to release!
tg3_init_one() doesn't call tg3_halt() under normal situation but
during kexec kdump I hit this problem.
Fixes: 932f19de ("tg3: Release tp->lock before invoking synchronize_irq()")

Driver keeps adding multicast addresses without deleting removed MACs and
worrying about adapters filter limit. This results into actual count of programmed
multicast addresses get accumulated over the time and overruns the adapter's
filter limit without putting device in ACCEPT_ALL_MULTI mode. This causes
newly added multicast traffic to fail after the sequence of addition - deletion
in certain pattern.
This issue is seen only when netdev's mcast list count is less than adapters
mcast filter limit.
e.g. If adapters multicast filter limit is 38 per function
then following sequence would result in multicast traffic failure for
newly added MACs.
- add less than 38 multicast MACs
- remove previously added multicast MACs
- add new multicast MACs (less than 38)

This is only an API consolidation and should make things more readable.
Converting milliseconds to jiffies by "val * HZ / 1000" is technically
OK but msecs_to_jiffies(val) is the cleaner solution and handles all

A RAID0 array (like a LINEAR array) does not have a concept
of 'size' being the amount of each device that is in use.
Rather, as much of each device as is available is used.
So the 'size' is set to 0 and ignored.
RAID10 does have this concept and needs it to be set correctly.
So when we convert RAID0 to RAID10 we must determine the
'size' (that being the size of the first 'strip_zone' in the
RAID0), and set it correctly.

I noticed that "allowed" can easily overflow by falling below 0, because
(total_vm / 32) can be larger than "allowed". The problem occurs in
OVERCOMMIT_NONE mode.
In this case, a huge allocation can success and overcommit the system
(despite OVERCOMMIT_NONE mode). All subsequent allocations will fall
(system-wide), so system become unusable.
The problem was masked out by commit c9b1d0981fcc
("mm: limit growth of 3% hardcoded other user reserve"),
but it's easy to reproduce it on older kernels:
1) set overcommit_memory sysctl to 2
2) mmap() large file multiple times (with VM_SHARED flag)
3) try to malloc() large amount of memory
It also can be reproduced on newer kernels, but miss-configured
sysctl_user_reserve_kbytes is required.
Fix this issue by switching to signed arithmetic here.

It was noted that the vm stat shepherd runs every 2 seconds and that the
vmstat update is then scheduled 2 seconds in the future.
This yields an interval of double the time interval which is not desired.

other cpu. We stil have to use schedule_delayed_work since we are using a

Page owner uses the page_ext structure to keep meta-information for every
page in the system. The structure also contains a field of type 'struct
stack_trace', page owner uses this field during invocation of the function
save_stack_trace. It is easy to notice that keeping a copy of this
structure for every page in the system is very inefficiently in terms of
memory.
The patch removes this unnecessary field of page_ext and forces page owner
to use a stack_trace structure allocated on the stack.

This patch aims to improve THP collapse rates, by allowing THP collapse in
the presence of read-only ptes, like those left in place by do_swap_page
after a read fault.
Currently THP can collapse 4kB pages into a THP when there are up to
khugepaged_max_ptes_none pte_none ptes in a 2MB range. This patch applies
the same limit for read-only ptes.
The patch was tested with a test program that allocates 800MB of memory,
writes to it, and then sleeps. I force the system to swap out all but
190MB of the program by touching other memory. Afterwards, the test
program does a mix of reads and writes to its memory, and the memory gets
swapped back in.
Without the patch, only the memory that did not get swapped out remained
in THPs, which corresponds to 24% of the memory of the program. The
percentage did not increase over time.
With this patch, after 5 minutes of waiting khugepaged had collapsed 50%
of the program's memory back into THPs.

Vinayak Menon has reported that an excessive number of tasks was throttled
in the direct reclaim inside too_many_isolated() because NR_ISOLATED_FILE
was relatively high compared to NR_INACTIVE_FILE. However it turned out
that the real number of NR_ISOLATED_FILE was 0 and the per-cpu
vm_stat_diff wasn't transferred into the global counter.
vmstat_work which is responsible for the sync is defined as deferrable
delayed work which means that the defined timeout doesn't wake up an idle
CPU. A CPU might stay in an idle state for a long time and general effort
is to keep such a CPU in this state as long as possible which might lead
to all sorts of troubles for vmstat consumers as can be seen with the
excessive direct reclaim throttling.
This patch basically reverts 39bf6270f524 ("VM statistics: Make timer
deferrable") but it shouldn't cause any problems for idle CPUs because
only CPUs with an active per-cpu drift are woken up since 7cc36bbddde5
("vmstat: on-demand vmstat workers v8") and CPUs which are idle for a
longer time shouldn't have per-cpu drift.

When allocation falls back to stealing free pages of another migratetype,
it can decide to steal extra pages, or even the whole pageblock in order
to reduce fragmentation, which could happen if further allocation
fallbacks pick a different pageblock. In try_to_steal_freepages(), one of
the situations where extra pages are stolen happens when we are trying to
allocate a MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE page.
However, MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE allocations are not treated the same way,
although spreading such allocation over multiple fallback pageblocks is
arguably even worse than it is for RECLAIMABLE allocations. To minimize
fragmentation, we should minimize the number of such fallbacks, and thus
steal as much as is possible from each fallback pageblock.
Note that in theory this might put more pressure on movable pageblocks and
cause movable allocations to steal back from unmovable pageblocks.
However, movable allocations are not as aggressive with stealing, and do
not cause permanent fragmentation, so the tradeoff is reasonable, and
evaluation seems to support the change.
This patch thus adds a check for MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE to the decision to
steal extra free pages. When evaluating with stress-highalloc from
mmtests, this has reduced the number of MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE fallbacks to
roughly 1/6. The number of these fallbacks stealing from MIGRATE_MOVABLE
block is reduced to 1/3. There was no observation of growing number of
unmovable pageblocks over time, and also not of increased movable
allocation fallbacks.

When allocation falls back to another migratetype, it will steal a page
with highest available order, and (depending on this order and desired
migratetype), it might also steal the rest of free pages from the same
pageblock.
Given the preference of highest available order, it is likely that it will
be higher than the desired order, and result in the stolen buddy page
being split. The remaining pages after split are currently stolen only
when the rest of the free pages are stolen. This can however lead to
situations where for MOVABLE allocations we split e.g. order-4 fallback
UNMOVABLE page, but steal only order-0 page. Then on the next MOVABLE
allocation (which may be batched to fill the pcplists) we split another
order-3 or higher page, etc. By stealing all pages that we have split, we
can avoid further stealing.
This patch therefore adjusts the page stealing so that buddy pages created
by split are always stolen. This has effect only on MOVABLE allocations,
as RECLAIMABLE and UNMOVABLE allocations already always do that in
addition to stealing the rest of free pages from the pageblock. The
change also allows to simplify try_to_steal_freepages() and factor out CMA
handling.
According to Mel, it has been intended since the beginning that buddy
pages after split would be stolen always, but it doesn't seem like it was
ever the case until commit 47118af076f6 ("mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA
migration type added"). The commit has unintentionally introduced this
behavior, but was reverted by commit 0cbef29a7821 ("mm:
__rmqueue_fallback() should respect pageblock type"). Neither included
evaluation.
My evaluation with stress-highalloc from mmtests shows about 2.5x
reduction of page stealing events for MOVABLE allocations, without
affecting the page stealing events for other allocation migratetypes.

When studying page stealing, I noticed some weird looking decisions in
try_to_steal_freepages(). The first I assume is a bug (Patch 1), the
following two patches were driven by evaluation.
Testing was done with stress-highalloc of mmtests, using the
mm_page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint and postprocessing to get counts of how
often page stealing occurs for individual migratetypes, and what
migratetypes are used for fallbacks. Arguably, the worst case of page
stealing is when UNMOVABLE allocation steals from MOVABLE pageblock.
RECLAIMABLE allocation stealing from MOVABLE allocation is also not ideal,
so the goal is to minimize these two cases.
The evaluation of v2 wasn't always clear win and Joonsoo questioned the
results. Here I used different baseline which includes RFC compaction
improvements from [1]. I found that the compaction improvements reduce
variability of stress-highalloc, so there's less noise in the data.
First, let's look at stress-highalloc configured to do sync compaction,
and how these patches reduce page stealing events during the test. First
column is after fresh reboot, other two are reiterations of test without
reboot. That was all accumulater over 5 re-iterations (so the benchmark
was run 5x3 times with 5 fresh restarts).

In v2 we've seen apparent regression with Patch 1 for unmovable events,
this is now gone, suggesting it was indeed noise. Here, each patch
improves the situation for unmovable events. Reclaimable is improved by
patch 1 and then either the same modulo noise, or perhaps sligtly worse -
a small price for unmovable improvements, IMHO. The number of movable
allocations falling back to other migratetypes is most noisy, but it's
reduced to half at Patch 2 nevertheless. These are least critical as
compaction can move them around.
If we look at success rates, the patches don't affect them, that didn't change.

As with v2, /proc/pagetypeinfo appears unaffected with respect to numbers
of unmovable and reclaimable pageblocks.
Configuring the benchmark to allocate like THP page fault (i.e. no sync
compaction) gives much noisier results for iterations 2 and 3 after
reboot. This is not so surprising given how [1] offers lower improvements
in this scenario due to less restarts after deferred compaction which
would change compaction pivot.

The improvements for first iteration are clear, the rest is much noisier
and can appear like regression for Patch 1. Anyway, patch 2 rectifies it.
Allocation success rates are again unaffected so there's no point in
making this e-mail any longer.
[1] http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=142166196321125&w=2
This patch (of 3):
When __rmqueue_fallback() is called to allocate a page of order X, it will
find a page of order Y >= X of a fallback migratetype, which is different
from the desired migratetype. With the help of try_to_steal_freepages(),
it may change the migratetype (to the desired one) also of:
1) all currently free pages in the pageblock containing the fallback page
2) the fallback pageblock itself
3) buddy pages created by splitting the fallback page (when Y > X)
These decisions take the order Y into account, as well as the desired
migratetype, with the goal of preventing multiple fallback allocations
that could e.g. distribute UNMOVABLE allocations among multiple
pageblocks.
Originally, decision for 1) has implied the decision for 3). Commit
47118af076f6 ("mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added") changed that
(probably unintentionally) so that the buddy pages in case 3) are always
changed to the desired migratetype, except for CMA pageblocks.
Commit fef903efcf0c ("mm/page_allo.c: restructure free-page stealing code
and fix a bug") did some refactoring and added a comment that the case of
3) is intended. Commit 0cbef29a7821 ("mm: __rmqueue_fallback() should
respect pageblock type") removed the comment and tried to restore the
original behavior where 1) implies 3), but due to the previous
refactoring, the result is instead that only 2) implies 3) - and the
conditions for 2) are less frequently met than conditions for 1). This
may increase fragmentation in situations where the code decides to steal
all free pages from the pageblock (case 1)), but then gives back the buddy
pages produced by splitting.
This patch restores the original intended logic where 1) implies 3).
During testing with stress-highalloc from mmtests, this has shown to
decrease the number of events where UNMOVABLE and RECLAIMABLE allocations
steal from MOVABLE pageblocks, which can lead to permanent fragmentation.
In some cases it has increased the number of events when MOVABLE
allocations steal from UNMOVABLE or RECLAIMABLE pageblocks, but these are
fixable by sync compaction and thus less harmful.
Note that evaluation has shown that the behavior introduced by
47118af076f6 for buddy pages in case 3) is actually even better than the
original logic, so the following patch will introduce it properly once
again. For stable backports of this patch it makes thus sense to only fix
versions containing 0cbef29a7821.

Currently pagewalker splits all THP pages on any clear_refs request. It's
not necessary. We can handle this on PMD level.
One side effect is that soft dirty will potentially see more dirty memory,
since we will mark whole THP page dirty at once.
Sanity checked with CRIU test suite. More testing is required.

walk_page_range() silently skips vma having VM_PFNMAP set, which leads to
undesirable behaviour at client end (who called walk_page_range). For
example for pagemap_read(), when no callbacks are called against VM_PFNMAP
vma, pagemap_read() may prepare pagemap data for next virtual address
range at wrong index. That could confuse and/or break userspace
applications.
This patch avoid this misbehavior caused by vma(VM_PFNMAP) like follows:
- for pagemap_read() which has its own ->pte_hole(), call the ->pte_hole()
over vma(VM_PFNMAP),
- for clear_refs and queue_pages which have their own ->tests_walk,
just return 1 and skip vma(VM_PFNMAP). This is no problem because
these are not interested in hole regions,
- for other callers, just skip the vma(VM_PFNMAP) as a default behavior.

queue_pages_range() does page table walking in its own way now, but there
is some code duplicate. This patch applies page table walker to reduce
lines of code.
queue_pages_range() has to do some precheck to determine whether we really
walk over the vma or just skip it. Now we have test_walk() callback in
mm_walk for this purpose, so we can do this replacement cleanly.
queue_pages_test_walk() depends on not only the current vma but also the
previous one, so queue_pages->prev is introduced to remember it.

Page table walker has the information of the current vma in mm_walk, so we
don't have to call find_vma() in each pagemap_(pte|hugetlb)_range() call
any longer. Currently pagemap_pte_range() does vma loop itself, so this
patch reduces many lines of code.
NULL-vma check is omitted because we assume that we never run these
callbacks on any address outside vma. And even if it were broken, NULL
pointer dereference would be detected, so we can get enough information
for debugging.

clear_refs_write() has some prechecks to determine if we really walk over
a given vma. Now we have a test_walk() callback to filter vmas, so let's
utilize it.

pagewalk.c can handle vma in itself, so we don't have to pass vma via
walk->private. And show_smap() walks pages on vma basis, so using
walk_page_vma() is preferable.

Current implementation of page table walker has a fundamental problem in
vma handling, which started when we tried to handle vma(VM_HUGETLB).
Because it's done in pgd loop, considering vma boundary makes code
complicated and bug-prone.
From the users viewpoint, some user checks some vma-related condition to
determine whether the user really does page walk over the vma.
In order to solve these, this patch moves vma check outside pgd loop and
introduce a new callback ->test_walk().

Currently no user of page table walker sets ->pgd_entry() or
->pud_entry(), so checking their existence in each loop is just wasting
CPU cycle. So let's remove it to reduce overhead.

Lockless access to pte in pagemap_pte_range() might race with page
migration and trigger BUG_ON(!PageLocked()) in migration_entry_to_page():
CPU A (pagemap) CPU B (migration)
lock_page()
try_to_unmap(page, TTU_MIGRATION...)
make_migration_entry()
set_pte_at()
<read *pte>
pte_to_pagemap_entry()
remove_migration_ptes()
unlock_page()
if(is_migration_entry())
migration_entry_to_page()
BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page))
Also lockless read might be non-atomic if pte is larger than wordsize.
Other pte walkers (smaps, numa_maps, clear_refs) already lock ptes.

Use the more generic get_user_pages_unlocked which has the additional
benefit of passing FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY at the very first page fault
(which allows the first page fault in an unmapped area to be always able
to block indefinitely by being allowed to release the mmap_sem).

Some callers (like KVM) may want to set the gup_flags like FOLL_HWPOSION
to get a proper -EHWPOSION retval instead of -EFAULT to take a more
appropriate action if get_user_pages runs into a memory failure.

FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY allows the page fault to drop the mmap_sem for
reading to reduce the mmap_sem contention (for writing), like while
waiting for I/O completion. The problem is that right now practically no
get_user_pages call uses FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY, so we're not leveraging
that nifty feature.
Andres fixed it for the KVM page fault. However get_user_pages_fast
remains uncovered, and 99% of other get_user_pages aren't using it either
(the only exception being FOLL_NOWAIT in KVM which is really nonblocking
and in fact it doesn't even release the mmap_sem).
So this patchsets extends the optimization Andres did in the KVM page
fault to the whole kernel. It makes most important places (including
gup_fast) to use FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY to reduce the mmap_sem hold times
during I/O.
The only few places that remains uncovered are drivers like v4l and other
exceptions that tends to work on their own memory and they're not working
on random user memory (for example like O_DIRECT that uses gup_fast and is
fully covered by this patch).
A follow up patch should probably also add a printk_once warning to
get_user_pages that should go obsolete and be phased out eventually. The
"vmas" parameter of get_user_pages makes it fundamentally incompatible
with FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY (vmas array becomes meaningless the moment the
mmap_sem is released).
While this is just an optimization, this becomes an absolute requirement
for the userfaultfd feature http://lwn.net/Articles/615086/ .
The userfaultfd allows to block the page fault, and in order to do so I
need to drop the mmap_sem first. So this patch also ensures that all
memory where userfaultfd could be registered by KVM, the very first fault
(no matter if it is a regular page fault, or a get_user_pages) always has
FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY set. Then the userfaultfd blocks and it is waken
only when the pagetable is already mapped. The second fault attempt after
the wakeup doesn't need FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY, so it's ok to retry
without it.
This patch (of 5):
We can leverage the VM_FAULT_RETRY functionality in the page fault paths
better by using either get_user_pages_locked or get_user_pages_unlocked.
The former allows conversion of get_user_pages invocations that will have
to pass a "&locked" parameter to know if the mmap_sem was dropped during
the call. Example from:
down_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
do_something()
get_user_pages(tsk, mm, ..., pages, NULL);
up_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
to:
int locked = 1;
down_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
do_something()
get_user_pages_locked(tsk, mm, ..., pages, &locked);
if (locked)
up_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
The latter is suitable only as a drop in replacement of the form:
down_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
get_user_pages(tsk, mm, ..., pages, NULL);
up_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
into:
get_user_pages_unlocked(tsk, mm, ..., pages);
Where tsk, mm, the intermediate "..." paramters and "pages" can be any
value as before. Just the last parameter of get_user_pages (vmas) must be
NULL for get_user_pages_locked|unlocked to be usable (the latter original
form wouldn't have been safe anyway if vmas wasn't null, for the former we
just make it explicit by dropping the parameter).
If vmas is not NULL these two methods cannot be used.
