Current solution to adjust codetag references during page migration is
done in 3 steps:
1. sets the codetag reference of the old page as empty (not pointing
to any codetag);
2. subtracts counters of the new page to compensate for its own
allocation;
3. sets codetag reference of the new page to point to the codetag of
the old page.
This does not work if CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=n because
set_codetag_empty() becomes NOOP. Instead, let's simply swap codetag
references so that the new page is referencing the old codetag and the old
page is referencing the new codetag. This way accounting stays valid and
the logic makes more sense.

Bits of LRU_REFS_MASK are not inherited during migration which lead to new
folio start from tier0 when MGLRU enabled. Try to bring as much bits of
folio->flags as possible since compaction and alloc_contig_range which
introduce migration do happen at times.

Recent changes are putting more pressure on THP deferred split queues:
under load revealing long-standing races, causing list_del corruptions,
"Bad page state"s and worse (I keep BUGs in both of those, so usually
don't get to see how badly they end up without). The relevant recent
changes being 6.8's mTHP, 6.10's mTHP swapout, and 6.12's mTHP swapin,
improved swap allocation, and underused THP splitting.
Before fixing locking: rename misleading folio_undo_large_rmappable(),
which does not undo large_rmappable, to folio_unqueue_deferred_split(),
which is what it does. But that and its out-of-line __callee are mm
internals of very limited usability: add comment and WARN_ON_ONCEs to
check usage; and return a bool to say if a deferred split was unqueued,
which can then be used in WARN_ON_ONCEs around safety checks (sparing
callers the arcane conditionals in __folio_unqueue_deferred_split()).
Just omit the folio_unqueue_deferred_split() from free_unref_folios(), all
of whose callers now call it beforehand (and if any forget then bad_page()
will tell) - except for its caller put_pages_list(), which itself no
longer has any callers (and will be deleted separately).
Swapout: mem_cgroup_swapout() has been resetting folio->memcg_data 0
without checking and unqueueing a THP folio from deferred split list;
which is unfortunate, since the split_queue_lock depends on the memcg
(when memcg is enabled); so swapout has been unqueueing such THPs later,
when freeing the folio, using the pgdat's lock instead: potentially
corrupting the memcg's list. __remove_mapping() has frozen refcount to 0
here, so no problem with calling folio_unqueue_deferred_split() before
resetting memcg_data.
That goes back to 5.4 commit 87eaceb3faa5 ("mm: thp: make deferred split
shrinker memcg aware"): which included a check on swapcache before adding
to deferred queue, but no check on deferred queue before adding THP to
swapcache. That worked fine with the usual sequence of events in reclaim
(though there were a couple of rare ways in which a THP on deferred queue
could have been swapped out), but 6.12 commit dafff3f4c850 ("mm: split
underused THPs") avoids splitting underused THPs in reclaim, which makes
swapcache THPs on deferred queue commonplace.
Keep the check on swapcache before adding to deferred queue? Yes: it is
no longer essential, but preserves the existing behaviour, and is likely
to be a worthwhile optimization (vmstat showed much more traffic on the
queue under swapping load if the check was removed); update its comment.
Memcg-v1 move (deprecated): mem_cgroup_move_account() has been changing
folio->memcg_data without checking and unqueueing a THP folio from the
deferred list, sometimes corrupting "from" memcg's list, like swapout.
Refcount is non-zero here, so folio_unqueue_deferred_split() can only be
used in a WARN_ON_ONCE to validate the fix, which must be done earlier:
mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range() first try to split the THP (splitting
of course unqueues), or skip it if that fails. Not ideal, but moving
charge has been requested, and khugepaged should repair the THP later:
nobody wants new custom unqueueing code just for this deprecated case.
The 87eaceb3faa5 commit did have the code to move from one deferred list
to another (but was not conscious of its unsafety while refcount non-0);
but that was removed by 5.6 commit fac0516b5534 ("mm: thp: don't need care
deferred split queue in memcg charge move path"), which argued that the
existence of a PMD mapping guarantees that the THP cannot be on a deferred
list. As above, false in rare cases, and now commonly false.
Backport to 6.11 should be straightforward. Earlier backports must take
care that other _deferred_list fixes and dependencies are included. There
is not a strong case for backports, but they can fix cornercases.

When numa balancing is enabled with demotion, vmscan will call
migrate_pages when shrinking LRUs. migrate_pages will decrement the
the node's isolated page count, leading to an imbalanced count when
invoked from (MG)LRU code.
The result is dmesg output like such:
$ cat /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh
[77383.088417] vmstat_refresh: nr_isolated_anon -103212
[77383.088417] vmstat_refresh: nr_isolated_file -899642
This negative value may impact compaction and reclaim throttling.
The following path produces the decrement:
shrink_folio_list
demote_folio_list
migrate_pages
migrate_pages_batch
migrate_folio_move
migrate_folio_done
mod_node_page_state(-ve) <- decrement
This path happens for SUCCESSFUL migrations, not failures. Typically
callers to migrate_pages are required to handle putback/accounting for
failures, but this is already handled in the shrink code.
When accounting for migrations, instead do not decrement the count when
the migration reason is MR_DEMOTION. As of v6.11, this demotion logic
is the only source of MR_DEMOTION.

I found a report from syzbot [1]
This report shows that the value can be changed, but in reality, the
value of __folio_set_movable() cannot be changed because it holds the
folio refcount.
Therefore, it is appropriate to add an annotate to make KCSAN
ignore that data-race.

Add pgalloc_tag_copy() to transfer the codetag from the old folio to the
new one during migration. This makes original allocation sites persist
cross migration rather than lump into the get_new_folio callbacks passed
into migrate_pages(), e.g., compaction_alloc():
# echo 1 >/proc/sys/vm/compact_memory
# grep compaction_alloc /proc/allocinfo

nsproxy.h is not needed since commit 228ebcbe634a ("Uninline

find_task_by_vpid() now.
hugetlb_cgroup.h is not needed since commit ab5ac90aecf5 ("mm, hugetlb: do
not rely on overcommit limit during migration"), move_hugetlb_state() is

balloon_compaction.h, we have more general movable_operations for non-lru
movable page migration, so it could be dropped.
memremap.h, userfaultfd_k.h and oom.h are introduced for zone device page
migration, but all functions are moved into migrate_device.c, so no needed

out from rcu_read_lock() scope, this is ok because it actually does not

ptrace_may_access() can use the task safely, like what
sched_core_share_pid() similarly do.

Currently folio->_deferred_list is used to keep track of partially_mapped
folios that are going to be split under memory pressure. In the next
patch, all THPs that are faulted in and collapsed by khugepaged are also
going to be tracked using _deferred_list.
This patch introduces a pageflag to be able to distinguish between
partially mapped folios and others in the deferred_list at split time in
deferred_split_scan. Its needed as __folio_remove_rmap decrements
_mapcount, _large_mapcount and _entire_mapcount, hence it won't be
possible to distinguish between partially mapped folios and others in
deferred_split_scan.
Eventhough it introduces an extra flag to track if the folio is partially
mapped, there is no functional change intended with this patch and the
flag is not useful in this patch itself, it will become useful in the next
patch when _deferred_list has non partially mapped folios.

Patch series "mm: split underused THPs", v5.
The current upstream default policy for THP is always. However, Meta uses
madvise in production as the current THP=always policy vastly
overprovisions THPs in sparsely accessed memory areas, resulting in
excessive memory pressure and premature OOM killing. Using madvise +
relying on khugepaged has certain drawbacks over THP=always. Using
madvise hints mean THPs aren't "transparent" and require userspace
changes. Waiting for khugepaged to scan memory and collapse pages into
THP can be slow and unpredictable in terms of performance (i.e. you dont
know when the collapse will happen), while production environments require
predictable performance. If there is enough memory available, its better
for both performance and predictability to have a THP from fault time,
i.e. THP=always rather than wait for khugepaged to collapse it, and deal
with sparsely populated THPs when the system is running out of memory.
This patch series is an attempt to mitigate the issue of running out of
memory when THP is always enabled. During runtime whenever a THP is being
faulted in or collapsed by khugepaged, the THP is added to a list.
Whenever memory reclaim happens, the kernel runs the deferred_split
shrinker which goes through the list and checks if the THP was underused,
i.e. how many of the base 4K pages of the entire THP were zero-filled.
If this number goes above a certain threshold, the shrinker will attempt
to split that THP. Then at remap time, the pages that were zero-filled
are mapped to the shared zeropage, hence saving memory. This method
avoids the downside of wasting memory in areas where THP is sparsely
filled when THP is always enabled, while still providing the upside THPs
like reduced TLB misses without having to use madvise.
Meta production workloads that were CPU bound (>99% CPU utilzation) were
tested with THP shrinker. The results after 2 hours are as follows:
| THP=madvise | THP=always | THP=always
| | | + shrinker series
| | | + max_ptes_none=409
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Performance improvement | - | +1.8% | +1.7%
(over THP=madvise) | | |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Memory usage | 54.6G | 58.8G (+7.7%) | 55.9G (+2.4%)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
max_ptes_none=409 means that any THP that has more than 409 out of 512
(80%) zero filled filled pages will be split.
To test out the patches, the below commands without the shrinker will
invoke OOM killer immediately and kill stress, but will not fail with the
shrinker:
echo 450 > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_none
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cgroup.procs
echo 20M > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.max
echo 0 > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.swap.max
# allocate twice memory.max for each stress worker and touch 40/512 of
# each THP, i.e. vm-stride 50K.
# With the shrinker, max_ptes_none of 470 and below won't invoke OOM
# killer.
# Without the shrinker, OOM killer is invoked immediately irrespective
# of max_ptes_none value and kills stress.
stress --vm 1 --vm-bytes 40M --vm-stride 50K
This patch (of 5):
Here being unused means containing only zeros and inaccessible to
userspace. When splitting an isolated thp under reclaim or migration, the
unused subpages can be mapped to the shared zeropage, hence saving memory.
This is particularly helpful when the internal fragmentation of a thp is
high, i.e. it has many untouched subpages.
This is also a prerequisite for THP low utilization shrinker which will be
introduced in later patches, where underutilized THPs are split, and the
zero-filled pages are freed saving memory.

Patch series "mm: count the number of anonymous THPs per size", v4.
Knowing the number of transparent anon THPs in the system is crucial
for performance analysis. It helps in understanding the ratio and
distribution of THPs versus small folios throughout the system.
Additionally, partial unmapping by userspace can lead to significant waste
of THPs over time and increase memory reclamation pressure. We need this
information for comprehensive system tuning.
This patch (of 2):
Let's track for each anonymous THP size, how many of them are currently
allocated. We'll track the complete lifespan of an anon THP, starting
when it becomes an anon THP ("large anon folio") (->mapping gets set),
until it gets freed (->mapping gets cleared).
Introduce a new "nr_anon" counter per THP size and adjust the
corresponding counter in the following cases:
* We allocate a new THP and call folio_add_new_anon_rmap() to map
it the first time and turn it into an anon THP.
* We split an anon THP into multiple smaller ones.
* We migrate an anon THP, when we prepare the destination.
* We free an anon THP back to the buddy.
Note that AnonPages in /proc/meminfo currently tracks the total number of
*mapped* anonymous *pages*, and therefore has slightly different
semantics. In the future, we might also want to track "nr_anon_mapped"
for each THP size, which might be helpful when comparing it to the number
of allocated anon THPs (long-term pinning, stuck in swapcache, memory
leaks, ...).
Further note that for now, we only track anon THPs after they got their
->mapping set, for example via folio_add_new_anon_rmap(). If we would
allocate some in the swapcache, they will only show up in the statistics
for now after they have been mapped to user space the first time, where we
call folio_add_new_anon_rmap().

The ability to observe the demotion and promotion decisions made by the
kernel on a per-cgroup basis is important for monitoring and tuning
containerized workloads on machines equipped with tiered memory.
Different containers in the system may experience drastically different
memory tiering actions that cannot be distinguished from the global
counters alone.
For example, a container running a workload that has a much hotter memory
accesses will likely see more promotions and fewer demotions, potentially
depriving a colocated container of top tier memory to such an extent that
its performance degrades unacceptably.
For another example, some containers may exhibit longer periods between
data reuse, causing much more numa_hint_faults than numa_pages_migrated.
In this case, tuning hot_threshold_ms may be appropriate, but the signal
can easily be lost if only global counters are available.
In the long term, we hope to introduce per-cgroup control of promotion and
demotion actions to implement memory placement policies in tiering.
This patch set adds seven counters to memory.stat in a cgroup:
numa_pages_migrated, numa_pte_updates, numa_hint_faults, pgdemote_kswapd,
pgdemote_khugepaged, pgdemote_direct and pgpromote_success. pgdemote_*
and pgpromote_success are also available in memory.numa_stat.
count_memcg_events_mm() is added to count multiple event occurrences at
once, and get_mem_cgroup_from_folio() is added because we need to get a
reference to the memcg of a folio before it's migrated to track
numa_pages_migrated. The accounting of PGDEMOTE_* is moved to
shrink_inactive_list() before being changed to per-cgroup.

Let's use folio_walk instead, so we can avoid taking a folio reference
when we won't even be trying to migrate the folio and to get rid of
another follow_page()/FOLL_DUMP user. Use FW_ZEROPAGE so we can return
"-EFAULT" for it as documented.
We now perform the folio_likely_mapped_shared() check under PTL, which is
what we want: relying on the mapcount and friends after dropping the PTL
does not make too much sense, as the page can get unmapped concurrently
from this process.
Further, we perform the folio isolation under PTL, similar to how we
handle it for MADV_PAGEOUT.
The possible return values for follow_page() were confusing, especially
with FOLL_DUMP set. We'll handle it like documented in the man page:
* -EFAULT: This is a zero page or the memory area is not mapped by the
process.
* -ENOENT: The page is not present.
We'll keep setting -ENOENT for ZONE_DEVICE. Maybe not the right thing to
do, but it likely doesn't really matter (just like for weird devmap,
whereby we fake "not present").
The other errros are left as is, and match the documentation in the man
page.
While at it, rename add_page_for_migration() to add_folio_for_migration().
We'll lose the "secretmem" check, but that shouldn't really matter because
these folios cannot ever be migrated. Should vma_migratable() refuse
these VMAs? Maybe.

Currently in migrate_balanced_pgdat(), ALLOC_CMA flag is not passed when
checking watermark on the migration target node. This does not match the
gfp in alloc_misplaced_dst_folio() which allows allocation from CMA.
This causes promotion failures when there are a lot of available CMA
memory in the system.
Therefore, we change the alloc_flags passed to zone_watermark_ok() in
migrate_balanced_pgdat().

Currently, migrate_pages_batch() can lock multiple locked folios with an
arbitrary order. Although folio_trylock() is used to avoid deadlock as
commit 2ef7dbb26990 ("migrate_pages: try migrate in batch asynchronously
firstly") mentioned, it seems try_split_folio() is still missing.
It was found by compaction stress test when I explicitly enable EROFS
compressed files to use large folios, which case I cannot reproduce with
the same workload if large folio support is off (current mainline).
Typically, filesystem reads (with locked file-backed folios) could use
another bdev/meta inode to load some other I/Os (e.g. inode extent
metadata or caching compressed data), so the locking order will be:
file-backed folios (A)
bdev/meta folios (B)
The following calltrace shows the deadlock:
Thread 1 takes (B) lock and tries to take folio (A) lock
Thread 2 takes (A) lock and tries to take folio (B) lock

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan
Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code.
These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels.
- Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to
reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the
mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My
bad.
- More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to
folio_alloc_mpol()"
- Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series
"Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability
of cgroup writeback"
- Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little
faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache
index".
- In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in
vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David
Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of
the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects
here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing.
- Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling
of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is
"Restructure va_high_addr_switch".
- The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight
optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to
simplify code".
- Jane Chu has improved the handling of our
fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in
the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection".
- Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add
MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull.
- In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang
has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying.
- Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm:
zswap: trivial folio conversions".
- In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first",
Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the
swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end
objective of full support of large folio swapin/out.
- In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window
calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible
fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code.
- In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has
