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
taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this
is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic
improvements in pagefault latency are realized.
- David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of
page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to
fs/proc/internal.h".
- David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series
"mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually".
- Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series
"cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"".
- Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry
Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers
and utilize them".
- Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has
reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly
common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark.
It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless
all CPUs are pegged.
- hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series
"mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes".
- Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that
thing.
- Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu
Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory".
This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the
efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM.
- DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae
Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit
function".
- In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()"
David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially
modernizing its use of pageframe fields.
- Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove
page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()".
- More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series
"mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for
!ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline()
pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks.
- Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and
__folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in
preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin.
- Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio"
implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large
folio userspace copying.
- The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool
and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved
with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park.
- A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does
that.
- David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the
migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault
folio isolation + checks under PTL".
- Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in
the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various
readahead quirks".
- SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and
{min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's
self testing code.
- Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache
code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported
by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable.
- Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations
and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM.
- Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of
code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code
Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put
under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg
data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1"
- Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim"
adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file.
- The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan
permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of
excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to
monitor and handle this situation.
- Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from
migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration
from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing.
- SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements"
does those things.
- In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock"
Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory
utilization.
- Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for
pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than
bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if
they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block.
- Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to
/proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series
is "query VMAs from /proc/<pid>/maps".
- In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance
Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information
related to multisize THP splitting.
- Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages
without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits
userspace to use all available huge page sizes.
- In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault
injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and
not very useful feature from slab fault injection.

instead of PageReserved()
We currently initialize the memmap such that PG_reserved is set and the
refcount of the page is 1. In virtio-mem code, we have to manually clear
that PG_reserved flag to make memory offlining with partially hotplugged
memory blocks possible: has_unmovable_pages() would otherwise bail out on
such pages.
We want to avoid PG_reserved where possible and move to typed pages
instead. Further, we want to further enlighten memory offlining code
about PG_offline: offline pages in an online memory section. One example
is handling managed page count adjustments in a cleaner way during memory
offlining.
So let's initialize the pages with PG_offline instead of PG_reserved.
generic_online_page()->__free_pages_core() will now clear that flag before
handing that memory to the buddy.
Note that the page refcount is still 1 and would forbid offlining of such
memory except when special care is take during GOING_OFFLINE as currently
only implemented by virtio-mem.
With this change, we can now get non-PageReserved() pages in the XEN
balloon list. From what I can tell, that can already happen via
decrease_reservation(), so that should be fine.
HV-balloon should not really observe a change: partial online memory
blocks still cannot get surprise-offlined, because the refcount of these
PageOffline() pages is 1.
Update virtio-mem, HV-balloon and XEN-balloon code to be aware that
hotplugged pages are now PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() before
they are handed over to the buddy.
We'll leave the ZONE_DEVICE case alone for now.
Note that self-hosted vmemmap pages will no longer be marked as
reserved. This matches ordinary vmemmap pages allocated from the buddy
during memory hotplug. Now, really only vmemmap pages allocated from
memblock during early boot will be marked reserved. Existing
PageReserved() checks seem to be handling all relevant cases correctly
even after this change.

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of
PageReserved() for !ZONE_DEVICE".
This can be a considered a long-overdue follow-up to some parts of [1].
The patches are based on [2], but they are not strictly required -- just
makes it clearer why we can use adjust_managed_page_count() for memory
hotplug without going into details about highmem.
We stop initializing pages with PageReserved() in memory hotplug code --
except when dealing with ZONE_DEVICE for now. Instead, we use
PageOffline(): all pages are initialized to PageOffline() when onlining a
memory section, and only the ones actually getting exposed to the
system/page allocator will get PageOffline cleared.
This way, we enlighten memory hotplug more about PageOffline() pages and
can cleanup some hacks we have in virtio-mem code.
What about ZONE_DEVICE? PageOffline() is wrong, but we might just stop
using PageReserved() for them later by simply checking for
is_zone_device_page() at suitable places. That will be a separate patch
set / proposal.
This primarily affects virtio-mem, HV-balloon and XEN balloon. I only
briefly tested with virtio-mem, which benefits most from these cleanups.

[2] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240607083711.62833-1-david@redhat.com
This patch (of 3):
In preparation for further changes, let's teach __free_pages_core() about
the differences of memory hotplug handling.
Move the memory hotplug specific handling from generic_online_page() to
__free_pages_core(), use adjust_managed_page_count() on the memory hotplug
path, and spell out why memory freed via memblock cannot currently use
adjust_managed_page_count().

Function deferred_[init|free]_pages are only used in
deferred_init_maxorder(), which makes sure the range to init/free is
within MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES size.
With this knowledge, we can simplify these two functions. Since
* only the first pfn could be IS_MAX_ORDER_ALIGNED()
Also since the range passed to deferred_[init|free]_pages is always from
memblock.memory for those we have already allocated memmap to cover,
pfn_valid() always return true. Then we can remove related check.

Today, we do not have any observability of per-page metadata and how much
it takes away from the machine capacity. Thus, we want to describe the
amount of memory that is going towards per-page metadata, which can vary
depending on build configuration, machine architecture, and system use.
This patch adds 2 fields to /proc/vmstat that can used as shown below:
Accounting per-page metadata allocated by boot-allocator:
/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap_boot * PAGE_SIZE
Accounting per-page metadata allocated by buddy-allocator:
/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap * PAGE_SIZE
Accounting total Perpage metadata allocated on the machine:
(/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap_boot +
/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap) * PAGE_SIZE
Utility for userspace:
Observability: Describe the amount of memory overhead that is going to
per-page metadata on the system at any given time since this overhead is
not currently observable.
Debugging: Tracking the changes or absolute value in struct pages can help
detect anomalies as they can be correlated with other metrics in the
machine (e.g., memtotal, number of huge pages, etc).
page_ext overheads: Some kernel features such as page_owner
page_table_check that use page_ext can be optionally enabled via kernel
parameters. Having the total per-page metadata information helps users
precisely measure impact. Furthermore, page-metadata metrics will reflect
the amount of struct pages reliquished (or overhead reduced) when
hugetlbfs pages are reserved which will vary depending on whether hugetlb
vmemmap optimization is enabled or not.

Current call flow looks like this:
start_kernel
mm_core_init
mem_init
mem_init_print_info
rest_init
kernel_init
kernel_init_freeable
page_alloc_init_late
deferred_init_memmap
If CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT, the time mem_init_print_info()
calls, pages are not totally initialized and freed to buddy.
This has one issue
* nr_free_pages() just contains partial free pages in the system,
which is not we expect.
Let's print the mem info after defer_init is done.
Also this would help changing totalram_pages accounting, since we plan
to move the accounting into __free_pages_core().

x86_64 is already using the node's cpu as maximum threads. Make that the
default for all archs setting DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT.

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.

Current page initialization call flow looks like this with some
simplification:
setup_arch()
paging_init()
free_area_init()
memmap_init()
memmap_init_zone_range()
memmap_init_range()
defer_init()
__init_single_page()
mm_core_init()
mem_init()
memblock_free_all()
free_low_memory_core_early()
memmap_init_reserved_pages()
reserve_bootmem_region()
init_reserved_page()
__init_single_page()
There two cases depends on CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT.
* If CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT, pages after first_init_pfn is
skipped at defer_init(). Then init_reserved_page() is defined to
call __init_single_page() for them.
* If !CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT, pages are all initialized by
memmap_init_range().
In both cases, after init_reserved_page(), we expect __init_single_page()
has done its work to the page, which already initialize page->lru properly.
We don't need to do it again.

In function deferred_init_memmap(), we call
deferred_init_mem_pfn_range_in_zone() to get the next deferred_init_pfn.
But we always search it from the very beginning.
Since we save the index in i, we can leverage this to search from i next
time.

We don't need to count nr_initialised in two cases:
* for low zones that are always populated
* after first_deferred_pfn is detected
Let's move the nr_initialised reset down a bit to reduce some comparison
of prev_end_pfn and end_pfn.

Several architectures override module_alloc() only to define address
range for code allocations different than VMALLOC address space.
Provide a generic implementation in execmem that uses the parameters for
address space ranges, required alignment and page protections provided
by architectures.
The architectures must fill execmem_info structure and implement
execmem_arch_setup() that returns a pointer to that structure. This way the
execmem initialization won't be called from every architecture, but rather
from a central place, namely a core_initcall() in execmem.
The execmem provides execmem_alloc() API that wraps __vmalloc_node_range()
with the parameters defined by the architectures. If an architecture does
not implement execmem_arch_setup(), execmem_alloc() will fall back to
module_alloc().

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.

Because memory-less node's ->node_present_pages and its zone's
->present_pages are all 0, the judgement before calling node_set_state()
to set N_MEMORY, N_HIGH_MEMORY, N_NORMAL_MEMORY for node is enough to skip
memory-less node. The 'continue;' statement inside for_each_node() loop
of free_area_init() is gilding the lily.
Here, remove the special handling to make memory-less node share the same
code flow as normal node.
And also rephrase the code comments above the 'continue' statement
and move them above above line 'if (pgdat->node_present_pages)'.

free_area_init_core()
Currently, in free_area_init_core(), when initialize zone's field, a rough
value is set to zone->managed_pages. That value is calculated by
(zone->present_pages - memmap_pages).
In the meantime, add the value to nr_all_pages and nr_kernel_pages which
represent all free pages of system (only low memory or including HIGHMEM
memory separately). Both of them are gonna be used in
alloc_large_system_hash().
However, the rough calculation and setting of zone->managed_pages is
meaningless because
a) memmap pages are allocated on units of node in sparse_init() or
alloc_node_mem_map(pgdat); The simple (zone->present_pages -
memmap_pages) is too rough to make sense for zone;
b) the set zone->managed_pages will be zeroed out and reset with
acutal value in mem_init() via memblock_free_all(). Before the
resetting, no buddy allocation request is issued.
Here, remove the meaningless and complicated calculation of
(zone->present_pages - memmap_pages), directly set zone->managed_pages as
zone->present_pages for now. It will be adjusted in mem_init().
And also remove the assignment of nr_all_pages and nr_kernel_pages in
free_area_init_core(). Instead, call the newly added
calc_nr_kernel_pages() to count up all free but not reserved memory in
memblock and assign to nr_all_pages and nr_kernel_pages. The counting
excludes memmap_pages, and other kernel used data, which is more accurate
than old way and simpler, and can also cover the ppc required
arch_reserved_kernel_pages() case.
And also clean up the outdated code comment above free_area_init_core().
And free_area_init_core() is easy to understand now, no need to add words
to explain.
