There was insufficient review and no agreement that this is the right
approach.
There are serious flaws with the implementation that make processes using
mlock() not even work with simple fork() [1] and we get reliable crashes
when rebooting.
Further, simply because we might be unmapping a single PTE of a large
mlocked folio, we shouldn't zero out the whole folio.
... especially because the code can also *corrupt* urelated memory because
kernel_init_pages(page, folio_nr_pages(folio));
Could end up writing outside of the actual folio if we work with a tail
page.
Let's revert it. Once there is agreement that this is the right approach,
the issues were fixed and there was reasonable review and proper testing,
we can consider it again.

The new mseal() is an syscall on 64 bit CPU, and with following signature:
int mseal(void addr, size_t len, unsigned long flags)
addr/len: memory range.
flags: reserved.
mseal() blocks following operations for the given memory range.
1> Unmapping, moving to another location, and shrinking the size,
via munmap() and mremap(), can leave an empty space, therefore can
be replaced with a VMA with a new set of attributes.
2> Moving or expanding a different VMA into the current location,
via mremap().
3> Modifying a VMA via mmap(MAP_FIXED).
4> Size expansion, via mremap(), does not appear to pose any specific
risks to sealed VMAs. It is included anyway because the use case is
unclear. In any case, users can rely on merging to expand a sealed VMA.
5> mprotect() and pkey_mprotect().
6> Some destructive madvice() behaviors (e.g. MADV_DONTNEED) for anonymous
memory, when users don't have write permission to the memory. Those
behaviors can alter region contents by discarding pages, effectively a
memset(0) for anonymous memory.
Following input during RFC are incooperated into this patch:
Jann Horn: raising awareness and providing valuable insights on the
destructive madvise operations.
Linus Torvalds: assisting in defining system call signature and scope.
Liam R. Howlett: perf optimization.
Theo de Raadt: sharing the experiences and insight gained from
implementing mimmutable() in OpenBSD.
Finally, the idea that inspired this patch comes from Stephen Röttger's
work in Chrome V8 CFI.

This commit adds the any_dirty pointer as an optional parameter to
folio_pte_batch() function. By using both the any_young and any_dirty
pointers, madvise_free can make smarter decisions about whether to clear
the PTEs when marking large folios as lazyfree.

Let's track the mapcount of large folios in a single value. The mapcount
of a large folio currently corresponds to the sum of the entire mapcount
and all page mapcounts.
This sum is what we actually want to know in folio_mapcount() and it is
also sufficient for implementing folio_mapped().
With PTE-mapped THP becoming more important and more widely used, we want
to avoid looping over all pages of a folio just to obtain the mapcount of
large folios. The comment "In the common case, avoid the loop when no
pages mapped by PTE" in folio_total_mapcount() does no longer hold for
mTHP that are always mapped by PTE.
Further, we are planning on using folio_mapcount() more frequently, and
might even want to remove page mapcounts for large folios in some kernel
configs. Therefore, allow for reading the mapcount of large folios
efficiently and atomically without looping over any pages.
Maintain the mapcount also for hugetlb pages for simplicity. Use the new
mapcount to implement folio_mapcount() and folio_mapped(). Make
page_mapped() simply call folio_mapped(). We can now get rid of
folio_large_is_mapped().
_nr_pages_mapped is now only used in rmap code and for debugging purposes.
Keep folio_nr_pages_mapped() around, but document that its use should be
limited to rmap internals and debugging purposes.
This change implies one additional atomic add/sub whenever
mapping/unmapping (parts of) a large folio.
As we now batch RMAP operations for PTE-mapped THP during fork(), during
unmap/zap, and when PTE-remapping a PMD-mapped THP, and we adjust the
large mapcount for a PTE batch only once, the added overhead in the common
case is small. Only when unmapping individual pages of a large folio
(e.g., during COW), the overhead might be bigger in comparison, but it's
essentially one additional atomic operation.
Note that before the new mapcount would overflow, already our refcount
would overflow: each mapping requires a folio reference. Extend the
focumentation of folio_mapcount().

Rework madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() to avoid splitting any large
folio that is fully and contiguously mapped in the pageout/cold vm range.
This change means that large folios will be maintained all the way to swap
storage. This both improves performance during swap-out, by eliding the
cost of splitting the folio, and sets us up nicely for maintaining the
large folio when it is swapped back in (to be covered in a separate
series).
Folios that are not fully mapped in the target range are still split, but
note that behavior is changed so that if the split fails for any reason
(folio locked, shared, etc) we now leave it as is and move to the next pte
in the range and continue work on the proceeding folios. Previously any
failure of this sort would cause the entire operation to give up and no
folios mapped at higher addresses were paged out or made cold. Given
large folios are becoming more common, this old behavior would have likely
lead to wasted opportunities.
While we are at it, change the code that clears young from the ptes to use
ptep_test_and_clear_young(), via the new mkold_ptes() batch helper
function. This is more efficent than get_and_clear/modify/set, especially
for contpte mappings on arm64, where the old approach would require
unfolding/refolding and the new approach can be done in place.

Now that we no longer have a convenient flag in the cluster to determine
if a folio is large, free_swap_and_cache() will take a reference and lock
a large folio much more often, which could lead to contention and (e.g.)
failure to split large folios, etc.
Let's solve that problem by batch freeing swap and cache with a new
function, free_swap_and_cache_nr(), to free a contiguous range of swap
entries together. This allows us to first drop a reference to each swap
slot before we try to release the cache folio. This means we only try to
release the folio once, only taking the reference and lock once - much
better than the previous 512 times for the 2M THP case.
Contiguous swap entries are gathered in zap_pte_range() and
madvise_free_pte_range() in a similar way to how present ptes are already
gathered in zap_pte_range().
While we are at it, let's simplify by converting the return type of both
functions to void. The return value was used only by zap_pte_range() to
print a bad pte, and was ignored by everyone else, so the extra reporting
wasn't exactly guaranteed. We will still get the warning with most of the
information from get_swap_device(). With the batch version, we wouldn't
know which pte was bad anyway so could print the wrong one.

Implements the "init_mlocked_on_free" boot option. When this boot option
is enabled, any mlock'ed pages are zeroed on free. If
the pages are munlock'ed beforehand, no initialization takes place.
This boot option is meant to combat the performance hit of
"init_on_free" as reported in commit 6471384af2a6 ("mm: security:
introduce init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 boot options"). With
"init_mlocked_on_free=1" only relevant data is freed while everything
else is left untouched by the kernel. Correspondingly, this patch
introduces no performance hit for unmapping non-mlock'ed memory. The
unmapping overhead for purely mlocked memory was measured to be
approximately 13%. Realistically, most systems mlock only a fraction of
the total memory so the real-world system overhead should be close to
zero.
Optimally, userspace programs clear any key material or other
confidential memory before exit and munlock the according memory
regions. If a program crashes, userspace key managers fail to do this
job. Accordingly, no munlock operations are performed so the data is
caught and zeroed by the kernel. Should the program not crash, all
memory will ideally be munlocked so no overhead is caused.
CONFIG_INIT_MLOCKED_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON can be set to enable
"init_mlocked_on_free" by default.

PageAnonExclusive() used to forbid tail pages for hugetlbfs, as that used
to be called mostly in hugetlb specific paths and the head page was
guaranteed.
As we move forward towards merging hugetlb paths into generic mm, we may
start to pass in tail hugetlb pages (when with cont-pte/cont-pmd huge
pages) for such check. Allow it to properly fetch the head, in which case
the anon-exclusiveness of the head will always represents the tail page.
There's already a sign of it when we look at the GUP-fast which already
contain the hugetlb processing altogether: we used to have a specific
commit 5805192c7b72 ("mm/gup: handle cont-PTE hugetlb pages correctly in
gup_must_unshare() via GUP-fast") covering that area. Now with this more
generic change, that can also go away.

Replace pmd_trans_huge() with pmd_leaf() to also cover pmd_huge() as long
as enabled.
FOLL_TOUCH and FOLL_SPLIT_PMD only apply to THP, not yet huge.
Since now follow_trans_huge_pmd() can process hugetlb pages, renaming it
into follow_huge_pmd() to match what it does. Move it into gup.c so not
depend on CONFIG_THP.
When at it, move the ctx->page_mask setup into follow_huge_pmd(), only set
it when the page is valid. It was not a bug to set it before even if GUP
failed (page==NULL), because follow_page_mask() callers always ignores
page_mask if so. But doing so makes the code cleaner.

Teach follow_pud_mask() to be able to handle normal PUD pages like
hugetlb.
Rename follow_devmap_pud() to follow_huge_pud() so that it can process
either huge devmap or hugetlb. Move it out of TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD
and and huge_memory.c (which relies on CONFIG_THP). Switch to pud_leaf()
to detect both cases in the slow gup.
In the new follow_huge_pud(), taking care of possible CoR for hugetlb if
necessary. touch_pud() needs to be moved out of huge_memory.c to be
accessable from gup.c even if !THP.
Since at it, optimize the non-present check by adding a pud_present()
early check before taking the pgtable lock, failing the follow_page()
early if PUD is not present: that is required by both devmap or hugetlb.
Use pud_huge() to also cover the pud_devmap() case.
One more trivial thing to mention is, introduce "pud_t pud" in the code
paths along the way, so the code doesn't dereference *pudp multiple time.
Not only because that looks less straightforward, but also because if the
dereference really happened, it's not clear whether there can be race to
see different *pudp values when it's being modified at the same time.
Setting ctx->page_mask properly for a PUD entry. As a side effect, this
patch should also be able to optimize devmap GUP on PUD to be able to jump
over the whole PUD range, but not yet verified. Hugetlb already can do so
prior to this patch.

Avoid using mas directly as possible.
Keep using mas for the mt_detach tree, since it doesn't come from the mm
structure.
Remove as many uses of mas as possible, but we will still have a few that

feature. Co-existence of MTE and THP_SWAP becomes more and more
important.
This patch makes MTE tags saving support large folios, then we don't need
to split large folios into base pages for swapping out on ARM64 SoCs with
MTE any more.
arch_prepare_to_swap() should take folio rather than page as parameter
because we support THP swap-out as a whole. It saves tags for all pages
in a large folio.
As now we are restoring tags based-on folio, in arch_swap_restore(), we
may increase some extra loops and early-exitings while refaulting a large
folio which is still in swapcache in do_swap_page(). In case a large
folio has nr pages, do_swap_page() will only set the PTE of the particular
page which is causing the page fault. Thus do_swap_page() runs nr times,
and each time, arch_swap_restore() will loop nr times for those subpages
in the folio. So right now the algorithmic complexity becomes O(nr^2).
Once we support mapping large folios in do_swap_page(), extra loops and
early-exitings will decrease while not being completely removed as a large
folio might get partially tagged in corner cases such as, 1. a large
folio in swapcache can be partially unmapped, thus, MTE tags for the
unmapped pages will be invalidated; 2. users might use mprotect() to set
MTEs on a part of a large folio.
arch_thp_swp_supported() is dropped since ARM64 MTE was the only one who
needed it.

Patch series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent", v2.
As discussed in previous thread [1], there is an inconsistency when
handling hugetlb migration. When handling the migration of freed hugetlb,
it prevents fallback to other NUMA nodes in
alloc_and_dissolve_hugetlb_folio(). However, when dealing with in-use
hugetlb, it allows fallback to other NUMA nodes in
alloc_hugetlb_folio_nodemask(), which can break the per-node hugetlb pool
and might result in unexpected failures when node bound workloads doesn't
get what is asssumed available.
This patchset tries to make the hugetlb migration strategy more clear
and consistent. Please find details in each patch.

This patch (of 2):
To support different hugetlb allocation strategies during hugetlb
migration based on various migration reasons, record the migration reason
in the migration_target_control structure as a preparation.

Free page accounting currently happens a bit too high up the call stack,
where it has to deal with guard pages, compaction capturing, block
stealing and even page isolation. This is subtle and fragile, and makes
it difficult to hack on the code.
Now that type violations on the freelists have been fixed, push the
accounting down to where pages enter and leave the freelist.

Page isolation currently sets MIGRATE_ISOLATE on a block, then drops
zone->lock and scans the block for straddling buddies to split up.
Because this happens non-atomically wrt the page allocator, it's possible
for allocations to get a buddy whose first block is a regular pcp
migratetype but whose tail is isolated. This means that in certain cases
memory can still be allocated after isolation. It will also trigger the
freelist type hygiene warnings in subsequent patches.
start_isolate_page_range()
isolate_single_pageblock()
set_migratetype_isolate(tail)
lock zone->lock
move_freepages_block(tail) // nop
set_pageblock_migratetype(tail)
unlock zone->lock
__rmqueue_smallest()

expand(head, head_mt)
WARN(head_mt != tail_mt)
start_pfn = ALIGN_DOWN(MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES)
for (pfn = start_pfn, pfn < end_pfn)
if (PageBuddy())
split_free_page(head)
Introduce a variant of move_freepages_block() provided by the allocator
specifically for page isolation; it moves free pages, converts the block,
and handles the splitting of straddling buddies while holding zone->lock.
The allocator knows that pageblocks and buddies are always naturally
aligned, which means that buddies can only straddle blocks if they're
actually >pageblock_order. This means the search-and-split part can be
simplified compared to what page isolation used to do.
Also tighten up the page isolation code around the expectations of which
pages can be large, and how they are freed.
Based on extensive discussions with and invaluable input from Zi Yan.

Now that prep_compound_page() initialises folio->_deferred_list,
folio_prep_large_rmappable()'s only purpose is to set the large_rmappable
flag, so inline it into the two callers. Take the opportunity to convert
the large_rmappable definition from PAGEFLAG to FOLIO_FLAG and remove the
existance of PageTestLargeRmappable and friends.

Patch series "Various significant MM patches".
These patches all interact in annoying ways which make it tricky to send
them out in any way other than a big batch, even though there's not really
an overarching theme to connect them.
The big effects of this patch series are:
- folio_test_hugetlb() becomes reliable, even when called without a
page reference
- We free up PG_slab, and we could always use more page flags
- We no longer need to check PageSlab before calling page_mapcount()
This patch (of 9):
For compound pages which are at least order-2 (and hence have a
deferred_list), initialise it and then we can check at free that the page
is not part of a deferred list. We recently found this useful to rule out
a source of corruption.

Patch series "Allow migrate on protnone reference with MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY
policy:, v4.
This patchset is to optimize the cross-socket memory access with
MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy.
To test this patch we ran the following test on a 3 node system.
Node 0 - 2GB - Tier 1
Node 1 - 11GB - Tier 1
Node 6 - 10GB - Tier 2
Below changes are made to memcached to set the memory policy,
It select Node0 and Node1 as preferred nodes.
#include <numaif.h>
#include <numa.h>
unsigned long nodemask;
int ret;
nodemask = 0x03;
ret = set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY | MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING,
&nodemask, 10);
/* If MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING isn't supported,
* fall back to MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY */
if (ret < 0 && errno == EINVAL){
printf("set mem policy normal\n");
ret = set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY, &nodemask, 10);
}
if (ret < 0) {
perror("Failed to call set_mempolicy");
exit(-1);
}
Test Procedure:
===============
1. Make sure memory tiring and demotion are enabled.
2. Start memcached.
# ./memcached -b 100000 -m 204800 -u root -c 1000000 -t 7
-d -s "/tmp/memcached.sock"
3. Run memtier_benchmark to store 3200000 keys.
#./memtier_benchmark -S "/tmp/memcached.sock" --protocol=memcache_binary
--threads=1 --pipeline=1 --ratio=1:0 --key-pattern=S:S --key-minimum=1
--key-maximum=3200000 -n allkeys -c 1 -R -x 1 -d 1024
4. Start a memory eater on node 0 and 1. This will demote all memcached
pages to node 6.
5. Make sure all the memcached pages got demoted to lower tier by reading
/proc/<memcaced PID>/numa_maps.
# cat /proc/2771/numa_maps
---
default anon=1009 dirty=1009 active=0 N6=1009 kernelpagesize_kB=64
default anon=1009 dirty=1009 active=0 N6=1009 kernelpagesize_kB=64
---
6. Kill memory eater.
7. Read the pgpromote_success counter.
8. Start reading the keys by running memtier_benchmark.
#./memtier_benchmark -S "/tmp/memcached.sock" --protocol=memcache_binary
--pipeline=1 --distinct-client-seed --ratio=0:3 --key-pattern=R:R
--key-minimum=1 --key-maximum=3200000 -n allkeys
--threads=64 -c 1 -R -x 6
9. Read the pgpromote_success counter.

Test Result Analysis:
=====================
1. With patch we could observe pages are getting promoted.

performance has increased more than 50%.
Ops/sec without fix - 305792.03
Ops/sec with fix - 521942.24
This patch (of 2):
Instead of using 'cpu_to_node()', we use 'numa_node_id()', which is
quicker. smp_processor_id is guaranteed to be stable in the
'mpol_misplaced()' function because it is called with ptl held.
lockdep_assert_held was added to ensure that.
No functional change in this patch.

Darrick reports that in some cases where pread() would fail with -EIO and
mmap()+access would generate a SIGBUS signal, MADV_POPULATE_READ /
MADV_POPULATE_WRITE will keep retrying forever and not fail with -EFAULT.
While the madvise() call can be interrupted by a signal, this is not the
desired behavior. MADV_POPULATE_READ / MADV_POPULATE_WRITE should behave
like page faults in that case: fail and not retry forever.
A reproducer can be found at [1].
The reason is that __get_user_pages(), as called by
faultin_vma_page_range(), will not handle VM_FAULT_RETRY in a proper way:
it will simply return 0 when VM_FAULT_RETRY happened, making
madvise_populate()->faultin_vma_page_range() retry again and again, never
setting FOLL_TRIED->FAULT_FLAG_TRIED for __get_user_pages().
__get_user_pages_locked() does what we want, but duplicating that logic in
faultin_vma_page_range() feels wrong.
So let's use __get_user_pages_locked() instead, that will detect
VM_FAULT_RETRY and set FOLL_TRIED when retrying, making the fault handler
return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS (VM_FAULT_ERROR) at some point, propagating -EFAULT
from faultin_page() to __get_user_pages(), all the way to
madvise_populate().
But, there is an issue: __get_user_pages_locked() will end up re-taking
the MM lock and then __get_user_pages() will do another VMA lookup. In
the meantime, the VMA layout could have changed and we'd fail with
different error codes than we'd want to.
As __get_user_pages() will currently do a new VMA lookup either way, let
it do the VMA handling in a different way, controlled by a new
FOLL_MADV_POPULATE flag, effectively moving these checks from
madvise_populate() + faultin_page_range() in there.
With this change, Darricks reproducer properly fails with -EFAULT, as
documented for MADV_POPULATE_READ / MADV_POPULATE_WRITE.

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".
