The AF_XDP sockets umem mapping interface uses XDP_UMEM_PGOFF_FILL_RING
and XDP_UMEM_PGOFF_COMPLETION_RING offsets. These offsets are
established already and are part of the configuration interface.
But for 32-bit systems, using AF_XDP socket configuration, these values
are too large to pass the maximum allowed file size verification. The
offsets can be tuned off, but instead of changing the existing
interface, let's extend the max allowed file size for sockets.
No one has been using this until this patch with 32 bits as without
this fix af_xdp sockets can't be used at all, so it unblocks af_xdp
socket usage for 32bit systems.
All list of mmap cbs for sockets was verified for side effects and all
of them contain dummy cb - sock_no_mmap() at this moment, except the
following:
xsk_mmap() - it's what this fix is needed for.
tcp_mmap() - doesn't have obvious issues with pgoff - no any references on it.
packet_mmap() - return -EINVAL if it's even set.

Patch series "Provide generic top-down mmap layout functions", v6.
This series introduces generic functions to make top-down mmap layout
easily accessible to architectures, in particular riscv which was the
initial goal of this series. The generic implementation was taken from
arm64 and used successively by arm, mips and finally riscv.
Note that in addition the series fixes 2 issues:
- stack randomization was taken into account even if not necessary.
- [1] fixed an issue with mmap base which did not take into account
randomization but did not report it to arm and mips, so by moving arm64
into a generic library, this problem is now fixed for both
architectures.
This work is an effort to factorize architecture functions to avoid code
duplication and oversights as in [1].

This patch (of 14):
This preparatory commit moves this function so that further introduction
of generic topdown mmap layout is contained only in mm/util.c.

khugepaged needs exclusive mmap_sem to access page table. When it fails
to lock mmap_sem, the page will fault in as pte-mapped THP. As the page
is already a THP, khugepaged will not handle this pmd again.
This patch enables the khugepaged to retry collapse the page table.
struct mm_slot (in khugepaged.c) is extended with an array, containing
addresses of pte-mapped THPs. We use array here for simplicity. We can
easily replace it with more advanced data structures when needed.
In khugepaged_scan_mm_slot(), if the mm contains pte-mapped THP, we try to
collapse the page table.
Since collapse may happen at an later time, some pages may already fault
in. collapse_pte_mapped_thp() is added to properly handle these pages.
collapse_pte_mapped_thp() also double checks whether all ptes in this pmd
are mapping to the same THP. This is necessary because some subpage of
the THP may be replaced, for example by uprobe. In such cases, it is not
possible to collapse the pmd.

Currently, uprobe swaps the target page with a anonymous page in both

are removed, the given mm is still using an anonymous page (not the
original page).
This patch allows uprobe to use original page when possible (all uprobes
on the page are already removed, and the original page is in page cache
and uptodate).
As suggested by Oleg, we unmap the old_page and let the original page

Convert deferred split shrinker memcg aware by introducing per memcg
deferred split queue. The THP should be on either per node or per memcg
deferred split queue if it belongs to a memcg. When the page is
immigrated to the other memcg, it will be immigrated to the target memcg's
deferred split queue too.
Reuse the second tail page's deferred_list for per memcg list since the
same THP can't be on multiple deferred split queues.

Patch series "Enable THP for text section of non-shmem files", v10;
This patchset follows up discussion at LSF/MM 2019. The motivation is to
put text section of an application in THP, and thus reduces iTLB miss rate
and improves performance. Both Facebook and Oracle showed strong
interests to this feature.
To make reviews easier, this set aims a mininal valid product. Current
version of the work does not have any changes to file system specific
code. This comes with some limitations (discussed later).
This set enables an application to "hugify" its text section by simply
running something like:
madvise(0x600000, 0x80000, MADV_HUGEPAGE);
Before this call, the /proc/<pid>/maps looks like:
00400000-074d0000 r-xp 00000000 00:27 2006927 app
After this call, part of the text section is split out and mapped to
THP:
00400000-00425000 r-xp 00000000 00:27 2006927 app
00600000-00e00000 r-xp 00200000 00:27 2006927 app <<< on THP
00e00000-074d0000 r-xp 00a00000 00:27 2006927 app
Limitations:
1. This only works for text section (vma with VM_DENYWRITE).
2. Original limitation #2 is removed in v3.
We gated this feature with an experimental config, READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS.
Once we get better support on the write path, we can remove the config and
enable it by default.
Tested cases:
1. Tested with btrfs and ext4.
2. Tested with real work application (memcache like caching service).
3. Tested with "THP aware uprobe":

When allocating hugetlbfs pool pages via /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages, the
pages will be interleaved between all nodes of the system. If nodes are
not equal, it is quite possible for one node to fill up before the others.
When this happens, the code still attempts to allocate pages from the
full node. This results in calls to direct reclaim and compaction which
slow things down considerably.
When allocating pool pages, note the state of the previous allocation for
each node. If previous allocation failed, do not use the aggressive retry
algorithm on successive attempts. The allocation will still succeed if
there is memory available, but it will not try as hard to free up memory.

Mike Kravetz reports that "hugetlb allocations could stall for minutes or
hours when should_compact_retry() would return true more often then it
should. Specifically, this was in the case where compact_result was
COMPACT_DEFERRED and COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED and no progress was being
made."
The problem is that the compaction_withdrawn() test in
should_compact_retry() includes compaction outcomes that are only possible
on low compaction priority, and results in a retry without increasing the
priority. This may result in furter reclaim, and more incomplete
compaction attempts.
With this patch, compaction priority is raised when possible, or
should_compact_retry() returns false.
The COMPACT_SKIPPED result doesn't really fit together with the other
outcomes in compaction_withdrawn(), as that's a result caused by
insufficient order-0 pages, not due to low compaction priority. With this
patch, it is moved to a new compaction_needs_reclaim() function, and for
that outcome we keep the current logic of retrying if it looks like
reclaim will be able to help.

After commit "mm, reclaim: make should_continue_reclaim perform dryrun
detection", closer look at the function shows, that nr_reclaimed == 0
means the function will always return false. And since non-zero
nr_reclaimed implies non_zero nr_scanned, testing nr_scanned serves no
purpose, and so does the testing for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL.
This patch thus cleans up the function to test only !nr_reclaimed upfront,
and remove the __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL test and nr_scanned parameter
completely. Comment is also updated, explaining that approximating "full
LRU list has been scanned" with nr_scanned == 0 didn't really work.

Patch series "address hugetlb page allocation stalls", v2.
Allocation of hugetlb pages via sysctl or procfs can stall for minutes or
hours. A simple example on a two node system with 8GB of memory is as
follows:
echo 4096 > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
echo 4096 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
Obviously, both allocation attempts will fall short of their 8GB goal.
However, one or both of these commands may stall and not be interruptible.
The issues were initially discussed in mail thread [1] and RFC code at
[2].
This series addresses the issues causing the stalls. There are two
distinct fixes, a cleanup, and an optimization. The reclaim patch by
Hillf and compaction patch by Vlasitmil address corner cases in their
respective areas. hugetlb page allocation could stall due to either of
these issues. Vlasitmil added a cleanup patch after Hillf's
modifications. The hugetlb patch by Mike is an optimization suggested
during the debug and development process.

[2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190724175014.9935-1-mike.kravetz@oracle.com
This patch (of 4):
Address the issue of should_continue_reclaim returning true too often for
__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL attempts when !nr_reclaimed and nr_scanned. This was
observed during hugetlb page allocation causing stalls for minutes or
hours.
We can stop reclaiming pages if compaction reports it can make a progress.
There might be side-effects for other high-order allocations that would
potentially benefit from reclaiming more before compaction so that they
would be faster and less likely to stall. However, the consequences of
premature/over-reclaim are considered worse.
We can also bail out of reclaiming pages if we know that there are not
enough inactive lru pages left to satisfy the costly allocation.
We can give up reclaiming pages too if we see dryrun occur, with the
certainty of plenty of inactive pages. IOW with dryrun detected, we are
sure we have reclaimed as many pages as we could.
