Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- GICv4.1 support
- 32bit host removal
PPC:
- secure (encrypted) using under the Protected Execution Framework
ultravisor
s390:
- allow disabling GISA (hardware interrupt injection) and protected
VMs/ultravisor support.
x86:
- New dirty bitmap flag that sets all bits in the bitmap when dirty
page logging is enabled; this is faster because it doesn't require
bulk modification of the page tables.
- Initial work on making nested SVM event injection more similar to
VMX, and less buggy.
- Various cleanups to MMU code (though the big ones and related
optimizations were delayed to 5.8). Instead of using cr3 in
function names which occasionally means eptp, KVM too has
standardized on "pgd".
- A large refactoring of CPUID features, which now use an array that
parallels the core x86_features.
- Some removal of pointer chasing from kvm_x86_ops, which will also
be switched to static calls as soon as they are available.
- New Tigerlake CPUID features.
- More bugfixes, optimizations and cleanups.
Generic:
- selftests: cleanups, new MMU notifier stress test, steal-time test
- CSV output for kvm_stat"

Pull exec/proc updates from Eric Biederman:
"This contains two significant pieces of work: the work to sort out
proc_flush_task, and the work to solve a deadlock between strace and
exec.
Fixing proc_flush_task so that it no longer requires a persistent
mount makes improvements to proc possible. The removal of the
persistent mount solves an old regression that that caused the hidepid
mount option to only work on remount not on mount. The regression was
found and reported by the Android folks. This further allows Alexey
Gladkov's work making proc mount options specific to an individual
mount of proc to move forward.
The work on exec starts solving a long standing issue with exec that
it takes mutexes of blocking userspace applications, which makes exec
extremely deadlock prone. For the moment this adds a second mutex with
a narrower scope that handles all of the easy cases. Which makes the
tricky cases easy to spot. With a little luck the code to solve those
deadlocks will be ready by next merge window"

commit beb4641a787d ("PCI: dwc: Add MSI-X callbacks handler"),
in order to raise MSI-X interrupt, obtained MSIX table address from
Base Address Register (BAR). However BAR only holds PCI address
programmed by the host whereas the MSI-X table should be in the local
memory.
Store the MSI-X table address (virtual address) as part of ->set_bar()
callback and use that to get the message address and message data

adding support to raise MSI-X interrupts from endpoint didn't include
BAR Indicator register (BIR) configuration and MSI-X table offset as

For shared mappings, the pointer to the hugetlb_cgroup to uncharge lives
in the resv_map entries, in file_region->reservation_counter.
After a call to region_chg, we charge the approprate hugetlb_cgroup, and
if successful, we pass on the hugetlb_cgroup info to a follow up
region_add call. When a file_region entry is added to the resv_map via
region_add, we put the pointer to that cgroup in
file_region->reservation_counter. If charging doesn't succeed, we report
the error to the caller, so that the kernel fails the reservation.
On region_del, which is when the hugetlb memory is unreserved, we also
uncharge the file_region->reservation_counter.

Normally the pointer to the cgroup to uncharge hangs off the struct page,
and gets queried when it's time to free the page. With hugetlb_cgroup
reservations, this is not possible. Because it's possible for a page to
be reserved by one task and actually faulted in by another task.
The best place to put the hugetlb_cgroup pointer to uncharge for
reservations is in the resv_map. But, because the resv_map has different
semantics for private and shared mappings, the code patch to
charge/uncharge shared and private mappings is different. This patch
implements charging and uncharging for private mappings.
For private mappings, the counter to uncharge is in
resv_map->reservation_counter. On initializing the resv_map this is set
to NULL. On reservation of a region in private mapping, the tasks
hugetlb_cgroup is charged and the hugetlb_cgroup is placed is
resv_map->reservation_counter.
On hugetlb_vm_op_close, we uncharge resv_map->reservation_counter.

These counters will track hugetlb reservations rather than hugetlb memory
faulted in. This patch only adds the counter, following patches add the
charging and uncharging of the counter.
This is patch 1 of an 9 patch series.
Problem:
Currently tasks attempting to reserve more hugetlb memory than is
available get a failure at mmap/shmget time. This is thanks to Hugetlbfs
Reservations [1]. However, if a task attempts to reserve more hugetlb
memory than its hugetlb_cgroup limit allows, the kernel will allow the
mmap/shmget call, but will SIGBUS the task when it attempts to fault in
the excess memory.
We have users hitting their hugetlb_cgroup limits and thus we've been
looking at this failure mode. We'd like to improve this behavior such
that users violating the hugetlb_cgroup limits get an error on mmap/shmget
time, rather than getting SIGBUS'd when they try to fault the excess
memory in. This gives the user an opportunity to fallback more gracefully
to non-hugetlbfs memory for example.
The underlying problem is that today's hugetlb_cgroup accounting happens
at hugetlb memory *fault* time, rather than at *reservation* time. Thus,
enforcing the hugetlb_cgroup limit only happens at fault time, and the
offending task gets SIGBUS'd.
Proposed Solution:
A new page counter named
'hugetlb.xMB.rsvd.[limit|usage|max_usage]_in_bytes'. This counter has
slightly different semantics than
'hugetlb.xMB.[limit|usage|max_usage]_in_bytes':
- While usage_in_bytes tracks all *faulted* hugetlb memory,
rsvd.usage_in_bytes tracks all *reserved* hugetlb memory and hugetlb
memory faulted in without a prior reservation.
- If a task attempts to reserve more memory than limit_in_bytes allows,
the kernel will allow it to do so. But if a task attempts to reserve
more memory than rsvd.limit_in_bytes, the kernel will fail this
reservation.
This proposal is implemented in this patch series, with tests to verify
functionality and show the usage.
Alternatives considered:
1. A new cgroup, instead of only a new page_counter attached to the
existing hugetlb_cgroup. Adding a new cgroup seemed like a lot of code
duplication with hugetlb_cgroup. Keeping hugetlb related page counters
under hugetlb_cgroup seemed cleaner as well.
2. Instead of adding a new counter, we considered adding a sysctl that
modifies the behavior of hugetlb.xMB.[limit|usage]_in_bytes, to do
accounting at reservation time rather than fault time. Adding a new
page_counter seems better as userspace could, if it wants, choose to
enforce different cgroups differently: one via limit_in_bytes, and
another via rsvd.limit_in_bytes. This could be very useful if you're
transitioning how hugetlb memory is partitioned on your system one
cgroup at a time, for example. Also, someone may find usage for both
limit_in_bytes and rsvd.limit_in_bytes concurrently, and this approach
gives them the option to do so.
Testing:
- Added tests passing.
- Used libhugetlbfs for regression testing.

Patch series "hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem for more synchronization", v2.
While discussing the issue with huge_pte_offset [1], I remembered that
there were more outstanding hugetlb races. These issues are:
1) For shared pmds, huge PTE pointers returned by huge_pte_alloc can become
invalid via a call to huge_pmd_unshare by another thread.
2) hugetlbfs page faults can race with truncation causing invalid global
reserve counts and state.
A previous attempt was made to use i_mmap_rwsem in this manner as
described at [2]. However, those patches were reverted starting with [3]
due to locking issues.
To effectively use i_mmap_rwsem to address the above issues it needs to be
held (in read mode) during page fault processing. However, during fault
processing we need to lock the page we will be adding. Lock ordering
requires we take page lock before i_mmap_rwsem. Waiting until after
taking the page lock is too late in the fault process for the
synchronization we want to do.
To address this lock ordering issue, the following patches change the lock
ordering for hugetlb pages. This is not too invasive as hugetlbfs
processing is done separate from core mm in many places. However, I don't
really like this idea. Much ugliness is contained in the new routine
hugetlb_page_mapping_lock_write() of patch 1.
The only other way I can think of to address these issues is by catching
all the races. After catching a race, cleanup, backout, retry ... etc,
as needed. This can get really ugly, especially for huge page
reservations. At one time, I started writing some of the reservation
backout code for page faults and it got so ugly and complicated I went
down the path of adding synchronization to avoid the races. Any other
suggestions would be welcome.

This patch (of 2):
While looking at BUGs associated with invalid huge page map counts, it was
discovered and observed that a huge pte pointer could become 'invalid' and
point to another task's page table. Consider the following:
A task takes a page fault on a shared hugetlbfs file and calls
huge_pte_alloc to get a ptep. Suppose the returned ptep points to a
shared pmd.
Now, another task truncates the hugetlbfs file. As part of truncation, it
unmaps everyone who has the file mapped. If the range being truncated is
covered by a shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will be called. For all but the
last user of the shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will clear the pud pointing
to the pmd. If the task in the middle of the page fault is not the last
user, the ptep returned by huge_pte_alloc now points to another task's
page table or worse. This leads to bad things such as incorrect page
map/reference counts or invalid memory references.
To fix, expand the use of i_mmap_rwsem as follows:
- i_mmap_rwsem is held in read mode whenever huge_pmd_share is called.
huge_pmd_share is only called via huge_pte_alloc, so callers of
huge_pte_alloc take i_mmap_rwsem before calling. In addition, callers
of huge_pte_alloc continue to hold the semaphore until finished with
the ptep.
- i_mmap_rwsem is held in write mode whenever huge_pmd_unshare is called.
One problem with this scheme is that it requires taking i_mmap_rwsem
before taking the page lock during page faults. This is not the order
specified in the rest of mm code. Handling of hugetlbfs pages is mostly
isolated today. Therefore, we use this alternative locking order for
PageHuge() pages.
mapping->i_mmap_rwsem
hugetlb_fault_mutex (hugetlbfs specific page fault mutex)
page->flags PG_locked (lock_page)
To help with lock ordering issues, hugetlb_page_mapping_lock_write() is
introduced to write lock the i_mmap_rwsem associated with a page.
In most cases it is easy to get address_space via vma->vm_file->f_mapping.
However, in the case of migration or memory errors for anon pages we do
not have an associated vma. A new routine _get_hugetlb_page_mapping()
will use anon_vma to get address_space in these cases.

vma_migratable() is called to check if pages in vma can be migrated before
go ahead to further actions. Currently it is used in below code path:
- task_numa_work
- mbind
- move_pages
For hugetlb mapping, whether vma is migratable or not is determined by:
- CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_HUGEPAGE_MIGRATION
- arch_hugetlb_migration_supported
Issue: current code only checks for CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_HUGEPAGE_MIGRATION
alone, and no code should use it directly. (note that current code in
vma_migratable don't cause failure or bug because
unmap_and_move_huge_page() will catch unsupported hugepage and handle it
properly)
This patch checks the two factors by hugepage_migration_supported for
impoving code logic and robustness. It will enable early bail out of
hugepage migration procedure, but because currently all architecture
supporting hugepage migration is able to support all page size, we would
not see performance gain with this patch applied.
vma_migratable() is moved to mm/mempolicy.c, because of the circular
reference of mempolicy.h and hugetlb.h cause defining it as inline not
feasible.

Patch series "fix the missing underflow in memory operation function", v4.
The patchset helps to produce a KASAN report when size is negative in
memory operation functions. It is helpful for programmer to solve an
undefined behavior issue. Patch 1 based on Dmitry's review and
suggestion, patch 2 is a test in order to verify the patch 1.
[1]https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199341
[2]https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/[email protected]/
This patch (of 2):
KASAN missed detecting size is a negative number in memset(), memcpy(),
and memmove(), it will cause out-of-bounds bug. So needs to be detected
by KASAN.
If size is a negative number, then it has a reason to be defined as
out-of-bounds bug type. Casting negative numbers to size_t would indeed
turn up as a large size_t and its value will be larger than ULONG_MAX/2,
so that this can qualify as out-of-bounds.
KASAN report is shown below:

When remapping an anonymous, private mapping, if MREMAP_DONTUNMAP is set,
the source mapping will not be removed. The remap operation will be
performed as it would have been normally by moving over the page tables to
the new mapping. The old vma will have any locked flags cleared, have no
pagetables, and any userfaultfds that were watching that range will
continue watching it.
For a mapping that is shared or not anonymous, MREMAP_DONTUNMAP will cause
the mremap() call to fail. Because MREMAP_DONTUNMAP always results in
moving a VMA you MUST use the MREMAP_MAYMOVE flag, it's not possible to
resize a VMA while also moving with MREMAP_DONTUNMAP so old_len must
always be equal to the new_len otherwise it will return -EINVAL.
We hope to use this in Chrome OS where with userfaultfd we could write an
anonymous mapping to disk without having to STOP the process or worry
about VMA permission changes.
This feature also has a use case in Android, Lokesh Gidra has said that
"As part of using userfaultfd for GC, We'll have to move the physical
pages of the java heap to a separate location. For this purpose mremap
will be used. Without the MREMAP_DONTUNMAP flag, when I mremap the java
heap, its virtual mapping will be removed as well. Therefore, we'll
require performing mmap immediately after. This is not only time
consuming but also opens a time window where a native thread may call mmap
and reserve the java heap's address range for its own usage. This flag
solves the problem."

Even on 64 bit kernel, the mmap failure can happen for a 32 bit task.
Virtual memory space shortage of a task on mmap is reported to userspace
as -ENOMEM. It can be confused as physical memory shortage of overall
system.
The vm_unmapped_area can be called to by some drivers or other kernel core
system like filesystem. In my platform, GPU driver calls to
vm_unmapped_area and the driver returns -ENOMEM even in GPU side shortage.
It can be hard to distinguish which code layer returns the -ENOMEM.
Create mmap trace file and add trace point of vm_unmapped_area.
i.e.)

The idea comes from a discussion between Linus and Andrea [1].
Before this patch we only allow a page fault to retry once. We achieved
this by clearing the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY flag when doing
handle_mm_fault() the second time. This was majorly used to avoid
unexpected starvation of the system by looping over forever to handle the
page fault on a single page. However that should hardly happen, and after
all for each code path to return a VM_FAULT_RETRY we'll first wait for a
condition (during which time we should possibly yield the cpu) to happen
before VM_FAULT_RETRY is really returned.
This patch removes the restriction by keeping the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY
flag when we receive VM_FAULT_RETRY. It means that the page fault handler
now can retry the page fault for multiple times if necessary without the
need to generate another page fault event. Meanwhile we still keep the
FAULT_FLAG_TRIED flag so page fault handler can still identify whether a
page fault is the first attempt or not.
Then we'll have these combinations of fault flags (only considering
ALLOW_RETRY flag and TRIED flag):
- ALLOW_RETRY and !TRIED: this means the page fault allows to
retry, and this is the first try
- ALLOW_RETRY and TRIED: this means the page fault allows to
retry, and this is not the first try
- !ALLOW_RETRY and !TRIED: this means the page fault does not allow
to retry at all
- !ALLOW_RETRY and TRIED: this is forbidden and should never be used
In existing code we have multiple places that has taken special care of
the first condition above by checking against (fault_flags &
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY). This patch introduces a simple helper to detect
the first retry of a page fault by checking against both (fault_flags &
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY) and !(fault_flag & FAULT_FLAG_TRIED) because now
even the 2nd try will have the ALLOW_RETRY set, then use that helper in
all existing special paths. One example is in __lock_page_or_retry(), now
we'll drop the mmap_sem only in the first attempt of page fault and we'll
keep it in follow up retries, so old locking behavior will be retained.
This will be a nice enhancement for current code [2] at the same time a
supporting material for the future userfaultfd-writeprotect work, since in
that work there will always be an explicit userfault writeprotect retry
for protected pages, and if that cannot resolve the page fault (e.g., when
userfaultfd-writeprotect is used in conjunction with swapped pages) then
we'll possibly need a 3rd retry of the page fault. It might also benefit
other potential users who will have similar requirement like userfault
write-protection.
GUP code is not touched yet and will be covered in follow up patch.

handle_userfaultfd() is currently the only one place in the kernel page
fault procedures that can respond to non-fatal userspace signals. It was
trying to detect such an allowance by checking against USER & KILLABLE
flags, which was "un-official".
In this patch, we introduced a new flag (FAULT_FLAG_INTERRUPTIBLE) to show
that the fault handler allows the fault procedure to respond even to
non-fatal signals. Meanwhile, add this new flag to the default fault
flags so that all the page fault handlers can benefit from the new flag.
With that, replacing the userfault check to this one.
Since the line is getting even longer, clean up the fault flags a bit too
to ease TTY users.
Although we've got a new flag and applied it, we shouldn't have any
functional change with this patch so far.

Although there're tons of arch-specific page fault handlers, most of them
are still sharing the same initial value of the page fault flags. Say,
merely all of the page fault handlers would allow the fault to be retried,
and they also allow the fault to respond to SIGKILL.
Let's define a default value for the fault flags to replace those initial
page fault flags that were copied over. With this, it'll be far easier to
introduce new fault flag that can be used by all the architectures instead
of touching all the archs.

The idea comes from the upstream discussion between Linus and Andrea:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/
A summary to the issue: there was a special path in handle_userfault() in
the past that we'll return a VM_FAULT_NOPAGE when we detected non-fatal
signals when waiting for userfault handling. We did that by reacquiring
the mmap_sem before returning. However that brings a risk in that the
vmas might have changed when we retake the mmap_sem and even we could be
holding an invalid vma structure.
This patch is a preparation of removing that special path by allowing the
page fault to return even faster if we were interrupted by a non-fatal
signal during a user-mode page fault handling routine.

For most architectures, we've got a quick path to detect fatal signal
after a handle_mm_fault(). Introduce a helper for that quick path.
It cleans the current codes a bit so we don't need to duplicate the same
check across archs. More importantly, this will be an unified place that
we handle the signal immediately right after an interrupted page fault, so
it'll be much easier for us if we want to change the behavior of handling
signals later on for all the archs.
Note that currently only part of the archs are using this new helper,
because some archs have their own way to handle signals. In the follow up
patches, we'll try to apply this helper to all the rest of archs.
Another note is that the "regs" parameter in the new helper is not used
yet. It'll be used very soon. Now we kept it in this patch only to avoid
touching all the archs again in the follow up patches.

Right now, the effective protection of any given cgroup is capped by its
own explicit memory.low setting, regardless of what the parent says. The
reasons for this are mostly historical and ease of implementation: to make
delegation of memory.low safe, effective protection is the min() of all
memory.low up the tree.
Unfortunately, this limitation makes it impossible to protect an entire
subtree from another without forcing the user to make explicit protection
allocations all the way to the leaf cgroups - something that is highly
undesirable in real life scenarios.
Consider memory in a data center host. At the cgroup top level, we have a
distinction between system management software and the actual workload the
system is executing. Both branches are further subdivided into individual
services, job components etc.
We want to protect the workload as a whole from the system management
software, but that doesn't mean we want to protect and prioritize
individual workload wrt each other. Their memory demand can vary over
time, and we'd want the VM to simply cache the hottest data within the
workload subtree. Yet, the current memory.low limitations force us to
allocate a fixed amount of protection to each workload component in order
to get protection from system management software in general. This
results in very inefficient resource distribution.
Another concern with mandating downward allocation is that, as the
complexity of the cgroup tree grows, it gets harder for the lower levels
to be informed about decisions made at the host-level. Consider a
container inside a namespace that in turn creates its own nested tree of
cgroups to run multiple workloads. It'd be extremely difficult to
configure memory.low parameters in those leaf cgroups that on one hand
balance pressure among siblings as the container desires, while also
reflecting the host-level protection from e.g. rpm upgrades, that lie
beyond one or more delegation and namespacing points in the tree.
It's highly unusual from a cgroup interface POV that nested levels have to
be aware of and reflect decisions made at higher levels for them to be
effective.
To enable such use cases and scale configurability for complex trees, this
patch implements a resource inheritance model for memory that is similar
to how the CPU and the IO controller implement work-conserving resource
allocations: a share of a resource allocated to a subree always applies to
the entire subtree recursively, while allowing, but not mandating,
children to further specify distribution rules.
That means that if protection is explicitly allocated among siblings,
those configured shares are being followed during page reclaim just like
they are now. However, if the memory.low set at a higher level is not
fully claimed by the children in that subtree, the "floating" remainder is
applied to each cgroup in the tree in proportion to its size. Since
reclaim pressure is applied in proportion to size as well, each child in
that tree gets the same boost, and the effect is neutral among siblings -
with respect to each other, they behave as if no memory control was
enabled at all, and the VM simply balances the memory demands optimally
within the subtree. But collectively those cgroups enjoy a boost over the
cgroups in neighboring trees.
E.g. a leaf cgroup with a memory.low setting of 0 no longer means that
it's not getting a share of the hierarchically assigned resource, just
that it doesn't claim a fixed amount of it to protect from its siblings.
This allows us to recursively protect one subtree (workload) from another
(system management), while letting subgroups compete freely among each
other - without having to assign fixed shares to each leaf, and without
nested groups having to echo higher-level settings.
The floating protection composes naturally with fixed protection.
Consider the following example tree:
A A: low = 2G
/ \ A1: low = 1G
A1 A2 A2: low = 0G
As outside pressure is applied to this tree, A1 will enjoy a fixed
protection from A2 of 1G, but the remaining, unclaimed 1G from A is split
evenly among A1 and A2, coming out to 1.5G and 0.5G.
There is a slight risk of regressing theoretical setups where the
top-level cgroups don't know about the true budgeting and set bogusly high
"bypass" values that are meaningfully allocated down the tree. Such
setups would rely on unclaimed protection to be discarded, and
distributing it would change the intended behavior. Be safe and hide the
new behavior behind a mount option, 'memory_recursiveprot'.

Drop the _memcg suffix from (__)memcg_kmem_(un)charge functions. It's
shorter and more obvious.
These are the most basic functions which are just (un)charging the given
cgroup with the given amount of pages.
Also fix up the corresponding comments.

These functions are charging the given number of kernel pages to the given
memory cgroup. The number doesn't have to be a power of two. Let's make
them to take the unsigned int nr_pages as an argument instead of the page
order.
It makes them look consistent with the corresponding uncharge functions
and functions like: mem_cgroup_charge_skmem(memcg, nr_pages).

Patch series "mm: memcg: kmem API cleanup", v2.
This patchset aims to clean up the kernel memory charging API. It doesn't
bring any functional changes, just removes unused arguments, renames some
functions and fixes some comments.
Currently it's not obvious which functions are most basic
(memcg_kmem_(un)charge_memcg()) and which are based on them
(memcg_kmem_(un)charge()). The patchset renames these functions and
removes unused arguments:
TL;DR:
was:
memcg_kmem_charge_memcg(page, gfp, order, memcg)
memcg_kmem_uncharge_memcg(memcg, nr_pages)
memcg_kmem_charge(page, gfp, order)
memcg_kmem_uncharge(page, order)
now:
memcg_kmem_charge(memcg, gfp, nr_pages)
memcg_kmem_uncharge(memcg, nr_pages)
memcg_kmem_charge_page(page, gfp, order)
memcg_kmem_uncharge_page(page, order)
This patch (of 6):
The first argument of memcg_kmem_charge_memcg() and
__memcg_kmem_charge_memcg() is the page pointer and it's not used. Let's
drop it.
Memcg pointer is passed as the last argument. Move it to the first place
for consistency with other memcg functions, e.g.
__memcg_kmem_uncharge_memcg() or try_charge().

When backporting commit 9c4e6b1a7027 ("mm, mlock, vmscan: no more skipping
pagevecs") to our 4.9 kernel, our test bench noticed around 10% down with
a couple of vm-scalability's test cases (lru-file-readonce,
lru-file-readtwice and lru-file-mmap-read). I didn't see that much down
on my VM (32c-64g-2nodes). It might be caused by the test configuration,
which is 32c-256g with NUMA disabled and the tests were run in root memcg,
so the tests actually stress only one inactive and active lru. It sounds
not very usual in mordern production environment.
That commit did two major changes:
1. Call page_evictable()
2. Use smp_mb to force the PG_lru set visible
It looks they contribute the most overhead. The page_evictable() is a
function which does function prologue and epilogue, and that was used by
page reclaim path only. However, lru add is a very hot path, so it sounds
better to make it inline. However, it calls page_mapping() which is not
inlined either, but the disassemble shows it doesn't do push and pop
operations and it sounds not very straightforward to inline it.
Other than this, it sounds smp_mb() is not necessary for x86 since
SetPageLRU is atomic which enforces memory barrier already, replace it
with smp_mb__after_atomic() in the following patch.
With the two fixes applied, the tests can get back around 5% on that test
bench and get back normal on my VM. Since the test bench configuration is
not that usual and I also saw around 6% up on the latest upstream, so it
sounds good enough IMHO.
The below is test data (lru-file-readtwice throughput) against the v5.6-rc4:
mainline w/ inline fix
150MB 154MB
With this patch the throughput gets 2.67% up. The data with using
smp_mb__after_atomic() is showed in the following patch.
Shakeel Butt did the below test:
On a real machine with limiting the 'dd' on a single node and reading 100
GiB sparse file (less than a single node). Just ran a single instance to
not cause the lru lock contention. The cmdline used is "dd if=file-100GiB
of=/dev/null bs=4k". Ran the cmd 10 times with drop_caches in between and
measured the time it took.
Without patch: 56.64143 +- 0.672 sec
With patches: 56.10 +- 0.21 sec

With the introduction of protected KVM guests on s390 there is now a
concept of inaccessible pages. These pages need to be made accessible
before the host can access them.
While cpu accesses will trigger a fault that can be resolved, I/O accesses
will just fail. We need to add a callback into architecture code for
places that will do I/O, namely when writeback is started or when a page
reference is taken.
This is not only to enable paging, file backing etc, it is also necessary
to protect the host against a malicious user space. For example a bad
QEMU could simply start direct I/O on such protected memory. We do not
want userspace to be able to trigger I/O errors and thus the logic is
"whenever somebody accesses that page (gup) or does I/O, make sure that
this page can be accessed". When the guest tries to access that page we
will wait in the page fault handler for writeback to have finished and for
the page_ref to be the expected value.
On s390x the function is not supposed to fail, so it is ok to use a
WARN_ON on failure. If we ever need some more finegrained handling we can
tackle this when we know the details.

Now that pages are "DMA-pinned" via pin_user_page*(), and unpinned via
unpin_user_pages*(), we need some visibility into whether all of this is
working correctly.
Add two new fields to /proc/vmstat:
nr_foll_pin_acquired
nr_foll_pin_released
These are documented in Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst. They
represent the number of pages (since boot time) that have been pinned
("nr_foll_pin_acquired") and unpinned ("nr_foll_pin_released"), via
pin_user_pages*() and unpin_user_pages*().
In the absence of long-running DMA or RDMA operations that hold pages
pinned, the above two fields will normally be equal to each other.
Also: update Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst, to remove an
earlier (now confirmed untrue) claim about a performance problem with
/proc/vmstat.
Also: update Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst to rename the new
/proc/vmstat entries, to the names listed here.

For huge pages (and in fact, any compound page), the GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS
scheme tends to overflow too easily, each tail page increments the head
page->_refcount by GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS (1024). That limits the number
of huge pages that can be pinned.
This patch removes that limitation, by using an exact form of pin counting
for compound pages of order > 1. The "order > 1" is required because this
approach uses the 3rd struct page in the compound page, and order 1
compound pages only have two pages, so that won't work there.
A new struct page field, hpage_pinned_refcount, has been added, replacing
a padding field in the union (so no new space is used).
This enhancement also has a useful side effect: huge pages and compound
pages (of order > 1) do not suffer from the "potential false positives"
problem that is discussed in the page_dma_pinned() comment block. That is
because these compound pages have extra space for tracking things, so they
get exact pin counts instead of overloading page->_refcount.
Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst is updated accordingly.

Add tracking of pages that were pinned via FOLL_PIN. This tracking is
implemented via overloading of page->_refcount: pins are added by adding
GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS (1024) to the refcount. This provides a fuzzy
indication of pinning, and it can have false positives (and that's OK).
Please see the pre-existing Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst for
details.
As mentioned in pin_user_pages.rst, callers who effectively set FOLL_PIN
(typically via pin_user_pages*()) are required to ultimately free such
pages via unpin_user_page().
Please also note the limitation, discussed in pin_user_pages.rst under the
"TODO: for 1GB and larger huge pages" section. (That limitation will be
removed in a following patch.)
The effect of a FOLL_PIN flag is similar to that of FOLL_GET, and may be
thought of as "FOLL_GET for DIO and/or RDMA use".
Pages that have been pinned via FOLL_PIN are identifiable via a new
function call:
bool page_maybe_dma_pinned(struct page *page);
What to do in response to encountering such a page, is left to later
patchsets. There is discussion about this in [1], [2], [3], and [4].
This also changes a BUG_ON(), to a WARN_ON(), in follow_page_mask().

An upcoming patch requires subtracting a large chunk of refcounts from a
page, and checking what the resulting refcount is. This is a little
different than the usual "check for zero refcount" that many of the page
ref functions already do. However, it is similar to a few other routines
that (like this one) are generally useful for things such as 1-based
refcounting.
Add page_ref_sub_return(), that subtracts a chunk of refcounts atomically,
and returns an atomic snapshot of the result.
