2026-04-18sysctl: fix uninitialized variable in proc_do_large_bitmapMarc Buerg1-1/+1
[ Upstream commit f63a9df7e3f9f842945d292a19d9938924f066f9 ] proc_do_large_bitmap() does not initialize variable c, which is expected to be set to a trailing character by proc_get_long(). However, proc_get_long() only sets c when the input buffer contains a trailing character after the parsed value. If c is not initialized it may happen to contain a '-'. If this is the case proc_do_large_bitmap() expects to be able to parse a second part of the input buffer. If there is no second part an unjustified -EINVAL will be returned. Initialize c to 0 to prevent returning -EINVAL on valid input.

2025-03-13fs: move fs stat sysctls to file_table.cLuis Chamberlain1-25/+0
[ Upstream commit 204d5a24e15562b2816825c0f9b49d26814b77be ] kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain. To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we just care about the core logic. We can create the sysctl dynamically on early init for fs stat to help with this clutter. This dusts off the fs stat syctls knobs and puts them into where they are declared.

2025-03-13fs: move inode sysctls to its own fileLuis Chamberlain1-14/+0
[ Upstream commit 1d67fe585049d3e2448b997af78c68cbf90ada09 ] Patch series "sysctl: 4th set of kernel/sysctl cleanups". This is slimming down the fs uses of kernel/sysctl.c to the point that the next step is to just get rid of the fs base directory for it and move that elsehwere, so that next patch series starts dealing with that to demo how we can end up cleaning up a full base directory from kernel/sysctl.c, one at a time. This patch (of 9): kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain. To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we just care about the core logic. So move the inode sysctls to its own file. Since we are no longer using this outside of fs/ remove the extern declaration of its respective proc helper. We use early_initcall() as it is the earliest we can use.

2024-03-01sched/rt: Disallow writing invalid values to sched_rt_period_usCyril Hrubis1-0/+4
commit 079be8fc630943d9fc70a97807feb73d169ee3fc upstream. The validation of the value written to sched_rt_period_us was broken because: - the sysclt_sched_rt_period is declared as unsigned int - parsed by proc_do_intvec() - the range is asserted after the value parsed by proc_do_intvec() Because of this negative values written to the file were written into a unsigned integer that were later on interpreted as large positive integers which did passed the check: if (sysclt_sched_rt_period <= 0) return EINVAL; This commit fixes the parsing by setting explicit range for both perid_us and runtime_us into the sched_rt_sysctls table and processes the values with proc_dointvec_minmax() instead. Alternatively if we wanted to use full range of unsigned int for the period value we would have to split the proc_handler and use proc_douintvec() for it however even the Documentation/scheduller/sched-rt-group.rst describes the range as 1 to INT_MAX. As far as I can tell the only problem this causes is that the sysctl file allows writing negative values which when read back may confuse userspace. There is also a LTP test being submitted for these sysctl files at: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/ltp/patch/20230901144433.2526-1-chrubis@suse.cz/ Signed-off-by: Cyril Hrubis <chrubis@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231002115553.3007-2-chrubis@suse.cz [ pvorel: rebased for 5.15, 5.10 ] Reviewed-by: Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

commit bce9332220bd677d83b19d21502776ad555a0e73 upstream. proc_skip_spaces() seems to think it is working on C strings, and ends up being just a wrapper around skip_spaces() with a really odd calling convention. Instead of basing it on skip_spaces(), it should have looked more like proc_skip_char(), which really is the exact same function (except it skips a particular character, rather than whitespace). So use that as inspiration, odd coding and all. Now the calling convention actually makes sense and works for the intended purpose.

[ Upstream commit e877820877663fbae8cb9582ea597a7230b94df3 ] A sysctl variable is accessed concurrently, and there is always a chance of data-race. So, all readers and writers need some basic protection to avoid load/store-tearing.

2021-09-03mm: compaction: support triggering of proactive compaction by userCharan Teja Reddy1-1/+1
The proactive compaction[1] gets triggered for every 500msec and run compaction on the node for COMPACTION_HPAGE_ORDER (usually order-9) pages based on the value set to sysctl.compaction_proactiveness. Triggering the compaction for every 500msec in search of COMPACTION_HPAGE_ORDER pages is not needed for all applications, especially on the embedded system usecases which may have few MB's of RAM. Enabling the proactive compaction in its state will endup in running almost always on such systems. Other side, proactive compaction can still be very much useful for getting a set of higher order pages in some controllable manner(controlled by using the sysctl.compaction_proactiveness). So, on systems where enabling the proactive compaction always may proove not required, can trigger the same from user space on write to its sysctl interface. As an example, say app launcher decide to launch the memory heavy application which can be launched fast if it gets more higher order pages thus launcher can prepare the system in advance by triggering the proactive compaction from userspace. This triggering of proactive compaction is done on a write to sysctl.compaction_proactiveness by user.

2021-06-29mm/page_alloc: introduce vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fractionMel Gorman1-0/+8
This introduces a new sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction. It is similar to the old vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction. The old sysctl increased both pcp->batch and pcp->high with the higher pcp->high potentially reducing zone->lock contention. However, the higher pcp->batch value also potentially increased allocation latency while the PCP was refilled. This sysctl only adjusts pcp->high so that zone->lock contention is potentially reduced but allocation latency during a PCP refill remains the same. # grep -E "high:|batch" /proc/zoneinfo | tail -2 high: 649 batch: 63 # sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction=8 # grep -E "high:|batch" /proc/zoneinfo | tail -2 high: 35071 batch: 63 # sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction=64 high: 4383 batch: 63 # sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction=0 high: 649 batch: 63 [mgorman@techsingularity.net: fix documentation] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210528151010.GQ30378@techsingularity.net Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210525080119.5455-7-mgorman@techsingularity.net Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Acked-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Hillf Danton <hdanton@sina.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2021-06-29mm/page_alloc: delete vm.percpu_pagelist_fractionMel Gorman1-8/+0
Patch series "Calculate pcp->high based on zone sizes and active CPUs", v2. The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) is meant to reduce contention on the zone lock but the sizing of batch and high is archaic and neither takes the zone size into account or the number of CPUs local to a zone. With larger zones and more CPUs per node, the contention is getting worse. Furthermore, the fact that vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction adjusts both batch and high values means that the sysctl can reduce zone lock contention but also increase allocation latencies. This series disassociates pcp->high from pcp->batch and then scales pcp->high based on the size of the local zone with limited impact to reclaim and accounting for active CPUs but leaves pcp->batch static. It also adapts the number of pages that can be on the pcp list based on recent freeing patterns. The motivation is partially to adjust to larger memory sizes but is also driven by the fact that large batches of page freeing via release_pages() often shows zone contention as a major part of the problem. Another is a bug report based on an older kernel where a multi-terabyte process can takes several minutes to exit. A workaround was to use vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction to increase the pcp->high value but testing indicated that a production workload could not use the same values because of an increase in allocation latencies. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this test case myself as the multi-terabyte machines are in active use but it should alleviate the problem. The series aims to address both and partially acts as a pre-requisite. pcp only works with order-0 which is useless for SLUB (when using high orders) and THP (unconditionally). To store high-order pages on PCP, the pcp->high values need to be increased first. This patch (of 6): The vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction is used to increase the batch and high limits for the per-cpu page allocator (PCP). The intent behind the sysctl is to reduce zone lock acquisition when allocating/freeing pages but it has a problem. While it can decrease contention, it can also increase latency on the allocation side due to unreasonably large batch sizes. This leads to games where an administrator adjusts percpu_pagelist_fraction on the fly to work around contention and allocation latency problems. This series aims to alleviate the problems with zone lock contention while avoiding the allocation-side latency problems. For the purposes of review, it's easier to remove this sysctl now and reintroduce a similar sysctl later in the series that deals only with pcp->high.
