Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
Selftests".
- Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
the individual changelogs for details.

Yes, yes, I know the slab people were planning on going slow and letting
every subsystem fight this thing on their own. But let's just rip off
the band-aid and get it over and done with. I don't want to see a
number of unnecessary pull requests just to get rid of a flag that no
longer has any meaning.
This was mainly done with a couple of 'sed' scripts and then some manual
cleanup of the end result.

The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag used to be implemented in SLAB, which was
removed as of v6.8-rc1, so it became a dead flag since the commit
16a1d968358a ("mm/slab: remove mm/slab.c and slab_def.h"). And the
series[1] went on to mark it obsolete explicitly to avoid confusion
for users. Here we can just remove all its users, which has no any
functional change.

commit d92576f1167c ("dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing caches")
prevents DAX from building on architectures with virtually aliased
dcache with:
depends on !(ARM || MIPS || SPARC)
This check is too broad (e.g. recent ARMv7 don't have virtually aliased
dcaches), and also misses many other architectures with virtually
aliased data cache.
This is a regression introduced in the v4.0 Linux kernel where the
dax mount option is removed for 32-bit ARMv7 boards which have no data
cache aliasing, and therefore should work fine with FS_DAX.
This was turned into the following check in alloc_dax() by a preparatory
change:
if (ops && (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM) ||
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MIPS) ||
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SPARC)))
return NULL;
Use cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() instead to figure out whether the environment
has aliasing data caches.

Replace the following fs/Kconfig:FS_DAX dependency:
depends on !(ARM || MIPS || SPARC)
By a runtime check within alloc_dax(). This runtime check returns
ERR_PTR(-EOPNOTSUPP) if the @ops parameter is non-NULL (which means
the kernel is using an aliased mapping) on an architecture which
has data cache aliasing.
Change the return value from NULL to PTR_ERR(-EOPNOTSUPP) for
CONFIG_DAX=n for consistency.
This is done in preparation for using cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() in a
following change which will properly support architectures which detect
data cache aliasing at runtime.

Add a sysfs knob for dax devices to control the memmap_on_memory setting
if the dax device were to be hotplugged as system memory.
The default memmap_on_memory setting for dax devices originating via pmem
or hmem is set to 'false' - i.e. no memmap_on_memory semantics, to
preserve legacy behavior. For dax devices via CXL, the default is on.
The sysfs control allows the administrator to override the above defaults
if needed.

There were several places where drivers/dax/bus.c uses 'sprintf' to print
sysfs data. Since a sysfs_emit() helper is available specifically for
this purpose, replace all the sprintf() usage for sysfs with sysfs_emit()
in this file.

Patch series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", v7.
This series adds sysfs ABI to control memmap_on_memory behavior for DAX
devices.
Patch 1 replaces incorrect device_lock() usage with a local rwsem - this
was identified during review.
Patch 2 is also a preparatory patch that replaces sprintf() for sysfs
operations with sysfs_emit()
Patch 3 adds the missing documentation for the sysfs ABI for DAX regions
and Dax devices.
Patch 4 exports mhp_supports_memmap_on_memory().
Patch 5 adds the new ABI for toggling memmap_on_memory semantics for dax
devices.
This patch (of 5):
The dax driver incorrectly used driver-core device locks to protect
internal dax region and dax device configuration structures. Replace the
device lock usage with a local rwsem, one each for dax region
configuration and dax device configuration. As a result of this
conversion, no device_lock() usage remains in dax/bus.c.

Large amounts of memory managed by the kmem driver may come in via CXL,
and it is often desirable to have the memmap for this memory on the new
memory itself.
Enroll kmem-managed memory for memmap_on_memory semantics if the dax
region originates via CXL. For non-CXL dax regions, retain the existing
default behavior of hot adding without memmap_on_memory semantics.

Now, if we suddenly remove a PMEM device(by calling unbind) which
contains FSDAX while programs are still accessing data in this device,
e.g.:
```
$FSSTRESS_PROG -d $SCRATCH_MNT -n 99999 -p 4 &
# $FSX_PROG -N 1000000 -o 8192 -l 500000 $SCRATCH_MNT/t001 &
echo "pfn1.1" > /sys/bus/nd/drivers/nd_pmem/unbind
```
it could come into an unacceptable state:
1. device has gone but mount point still exists, and umount will fail
with "target is busy"
2. programs will hang and cannot be killed
3. may crash with NULL pointer dereference
To fix this, we introduce a MF_MEM_PRE_REMOVE flag to let it know that we
are going to remove the whole device, and make sure all related processes
could be notified so that they could end up gracefully.
This patch is inspired by Dan's "mm, dax, pmem: Introduce
dev_pagemap_failure()"[1]. With the help of dax_holder and
->notify_failure() mechanism, the pmem driver is able to ask filesystem
on it to unmap all files in use, and notify processes who are using
those files.
Call trace:
trigger unbind
-> unbind_store()
-> ... (skip)
-> devres_release_all()
-> kill_dax()
-> dax_holder_notify_failure(dax_dev, 0, U64_MAX, MF_MEM_PRE_REMOVE)
-> xfs_dax_notify_failure()
`-> freeze_super() // freeze (kernel call)
`-> do xfs rmap
` -> mf_dax_kill_procs()
` -> collect_procs_fsdax() // all associated processes
` -> unmap_and_kill()
` -> invalidate_inode_pages2_range() // drop file's cache
`-> thaw_super() // thaw (both kernel & user call)
Introduce MF_MEM_PRE_REMOVE to let filesystem know this is a remove
event. Use the exclusive freeze/thaw[2] to lock the filesystem to prevent
new dax mapping from being created. Do not shutdown filesystem directly
if configuration is not supported, or if failure range includes metadata
area. Make sure all files and processes(not only the current progress)

Previously, a fixed abstract distance MEMTIER_DEFAULT_DAX_ADISTANCE is
used for slow memory type in kmem driver. This limits the usage of kmem
driver, for example, it cannot be used for HBM (high bandwidth memory).
So, we use the general abstract distance calculation mechanism in kmem
drivers to get more accurate abstract distance on systems with proper
support. The original MEMTIER_DEFAULT_DAX_ADISTANCE is used as fallback
only.
Now, multiple memory types may be managed by kmem. These memory types are
put into the "kmem_memory_types" list and protected by
kmem_memory_type_lock.

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].
We should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces.
`dax_id->dev_name` is expected to be NUL-terminated and has been zero-allocated.
A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it
guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer. Moreover, due to
`dax_id` being zero-allocated the padding behavior of `strncpy` is not
needed and a simple 1:1 replacement of strncpy -> strscpy should
suffice.

Remove the unnecessary encoding of page order into an enum and pass the
page order directly. That lets us get rid of pe_order().
The switch constructs have to be changed to if/else constructs to prevent
GCC from warning on builds with 3-level page tables where PMD_ORDER and
PUD_ORDER have the same value.
If you are looking at this commit because your driver stopped compiling,
look at the previous commit as well and audit your driver to be sure it
doesn't depend on mmap_lock being held in its ->huge_fault method.

When multiple processes mmap() a dax file, then at some point,
a process issues a 'load' and consumes a hwpoison, the process
receives a SIGBUS with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AR and with si_lsb
set for the poison scope. Soon after, any other process issues
a 'load' to the poisoned page (that is unmapped from the kernel
side by memory_failure), it receives a SIGBUS with
si_code = BUS_ADRERR and without valid si_lsb.
This is confusing to user, and is different from page fault due
to poison in RAM memory, also some helpful information is lost.
Channel dax backend driver's poison detection to the filesystem
such that instead of reporting VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, it could report
VM_FAULT_HWPOISON.
If user level block IO syscalls fail due to poison, the errno will
be converted to EIO to maintain block API consistency.

memory_group_register_static takes maximum number of pages as the argument
while dev_dax_kmem_probe passes total_len (in bytes) as the argument.
IIUC, I don't see any crash/panic impact as such. As,
memory_group_register_static just set the max_pages limit which is used in
auto_movable_zone_for_pfn to determine the zone.
which might cause these condition to behave differently,
This will be true always so jump will happen to kernel_zone
...
if (!auto_movable_can_online_movable(NUMA_NO_NODE, group, nr_pages))
goto kernel_zone;
...
kernel_zone:
return default_kernel_zone_for_pfn(nid, pfn, nr_pages);
Here, In below, zone_intersects compare range will be larger as nr_pages
will be higher (derived from total_len passed in dev_dax_kmem_probe).
...
static struct zone *default_kernel_zone_for_pfn(int nid, unsigned long start_pfn,
unsigned long nr_pages)
{
struct pglist_data *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid);

struct zone *zone = &pgdat->node_zones[zid];
if (zone_intersects(zone, start_pfn, nr_pages))
return zone;
}
return &pgdat->node_zones[ZONE_NORMAL];
}
Incorrect zone will be returned here, which in later time might cause bigger
problem.

The reference counting of dax_region objects is needlessly complicated,
has lead to confusion [1], and has hidden a bug [2]. Towards cleaning up
that mess introduce alloc_dev_dax_id() to minimize the holding of a
dax_region reference to only what dev_dax_release() needs, the
dax_region->ida.
Part of the reason for the mess was the design to dereference a
dax_region in all cases in free_dev_dax_id() even if the id was
statically assigned by the upper level dax_region driver. Remove the
need to call "is_static(dax_region)" by tracking whether the id is
dynamic directly in the dev_dax instance itself.
With that flag the dax_region pinning and release per dev_dax instance
can move to alloc_dev_dax_id() and free_dev_dax_id() respectively.
A follow-on cleanup address the unnecessary references in the dax_region
setup and drivers.

Pull Compute Express Link (CXL) updates from Dan Williams:
"To date Linux has been dependent on platform-firmware to map CXL RAM
regions and handle events / errors from devices. With this update we
can now parse / update the CXL memory layout, and report events /
errors from devices. This is a precursor for the CXL subsystem to
handle the end-to-end "RAS" flow for CXL memory. i.e. the flow that
for DDR-attached-DRAM is handled by the EDAC driver where it maps
system physical address events to a field-replaceable-unit (FRU /
endpoint device). In general, CXL has the potential to standardize
what has historically been a pile of memory-controller-specific error
handling logic.
Another change of note is the default policy for handling RAM-backed
device-dax instances. Previously the default access mode was "device",
mmap(2) a device special file to access memory. The new default is
"kmem" where the address range is assigned to the core-mm via
add_memory_driver_managed(). This saves typical users from wondering
why their platform memory is not visible via free(1) and stuck behind
a device-file. At the same time it allows expert users to deploy
policy to, for example, get dedicated access to high performance
memory, or hide low performance memory from general purpose kernel
allocations. This affects not only CXL, but also systems with
high-bandwidth-memory that platform-firmware tags with the
EFI_MEMORY_SP (special purpose) designation.
Summary:
- CXL RAM region enumeration: instantiate 'struct cxl_region' objects
for platform firmware created memory regions
- CXL RAM region provisioning: complement the existing PMEM region
creation support with RAM region support
- "Soft Reservation" policy change: Online (memory hot-add)
soft-reserved memory (EFI_MEMORY_SP) by default, but still allow
for setting aside such memory for dedicated access via device-dax.
- CXL Events |
