Patch series "efficiently expose damos action tried regions information".
DAMON users can retrieve the monitoring results via 'after_aggregation'
callbacks if the user is using the kernel API, or 'damon_aggregated'
tracepoint if the user is in the user space. Those are useful if full
monitoring results are necessary. However, if the user has interest in
only a snapshot of the results for some regions having specific access
pattern, the interfaces could be inefficient. For example, some users
only want to know which memory regions are not accessed for more than a
specific time at the moment.
Also, some DAMOS users would want to know exactly to what memory regions
the schemes' actions tried to be applied, for a debugging or a tuning. As
DAMOS has its internal mechanism for quota and regions prioritization, the
users would need to simulate DAMOS' mechanism against the monitoring
results. That's unnecessarily complex.
This patchset implements DAMON kernel API callbacks and sysfs directory
for efficient exposure of the information for the use cases. The new
callback will be called for each region when a DAMOS action is gonna tried
to be applied to it. The sysfs directory will be called 'tried_regions'
and placed under each scheme sysfs directory. Users can write a special
keyworkd, 'update_schemes_regions', to the 'state' file of a kdamond sysfs
directory. Then, DAMON sysfs interface will fill the directory with the
information of regions that corresponding scheme action was tried to be
applied for next one aggregation interval.
Patches Sequence
----------------
The first one (patch 1) implements the callback for the kernel space
users. Following two patches (patches 2 and 3) implements sysfs
directories for the information and its sub directories. Two patches
(patches 4 and 5) for implementing the special keywords for filling the
data to and cleaning up the directories follow. Patch 6 adds a selftest
for the new sysfs directory. Finally, two patches (patches 7 and 8)
document the new feature in the administrator guide and the ABI document.
This patch (of 8):
Getting DAMON monitoring results of only specific access pattern (e.g.,
getting address ranges of memory that not accessed at all for two minutes)
can be useful for efficient monitoring of the system. The information can
also be helpful for deep level investigation of DAMON-based operation
schemes.
For that, users need to record (in case of the user space users) or
iterate (in case of the kernel space users) full monitoring results and
filter it out for the specific access pattern. In case of the DAMOS
investigation, users will even need to simulate DAMOS' quota and
prioritization mechanisms. It's inefficient and complex.
Add a new DAMON callback that will be called before each scheme is applied
to each region. DAMON kernel API users will be able to do the query-like
monitoring results collection, or DAMOS investigation in an efficient and
simple way using it.
Commits for providing the capability to the user space users will follow.

Direct reclaim stats are useful for identifying a potential source for
application latency, as well as spotting issues with kswapd. However,
khugepaged currently distorts the picture: as a kernel thread it doesn't
impose allocation latencies on userspace, and it explicitly opts out of
kswapd reclaim. Its activity showing up in the direct reclaim stats is
misleading. Counting it as kswapd reclaim could also cause confusion when
trying to understand actual kswapd behavior.
Break out khugepaged from the direct reclaim counters into new
pgsteal_khugepaged, pgdemote_khugepaged, pgscan_khugepaged counters.
Test with a huge executable (CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS):
pgsteal_kswapd 1342185
pgsteal_direct 0
pgsteal_khugepaged 3623
pgscan_kswapd 1345025

Patch series "Copy-on-write poison recovery", v3.
Part 1 deals with the process that triggered the copy on write fault with
a store to a shared read-only page. That process is send a SIGBUS with
the usual machine check decoration to specify the virtual address of the
lost page, together with the scope.
Part 2 sets up to asynchronously take the page with the uncorrected error
offline to prevent additional machine check faults. H/t to Miaohe Lin
<linmiaohe@huawei.com> and Shuai Xue <xueshuai@linux.alibaba.com> for
pointing me to the existing function to queue a call to memory_failure().
On x86 there is some duplicate reporting (because the error is also
signalled by the memory controller as well as by the core that triggered
the machine check). Console logs look like this:
This patch (of 2):
If the kernel is copying a page as the result of a copy-on-write
fault and runs into an uncorrectable error, Linux will crash because
it does not have recovery code for this case where poison is consumed
by the kernel.
It is easy to set up a test case. Just inject an error into a private
page, fork(2), and have the child process write to the page.
I wrapped that neatly into a test at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/ras-tools.git
just enable ACPI error injection and run:
# ./einj_mem-uc -f copy-on-write
Add a new copy_user_highpage_mc() function that uses copy_mc_to_kernel()
on architectures where that is available (currently x86 and powerpc).
When an error is detected during the page copy, return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON
to caller of wp_page_copy(). This propagates up the call stack. Both x86
and powerpc have code in their fault handler to deal with this code by
sending a SIGBUS to the application.
Note that this patch avoids a system crash and signals the process that
triggered the copy-on-write action. It does not take any action for the
memory error that is still in the shared page. To handle that a call to
memory_failure() is needed. But this cannot be done from wp_page_copy()
because it holds mmap_lock(). Perhaps the architecture fault handlers
can deal with this loose end in a subsequent patch?
On Intel/x86 this loose end will often be handled automatically because
the memory controller provides an additional notification of the h/w
poison in memory, the handler for this will call memory_failure(). This
isn't a 100% solution. If there are multiple errors, not all may be
logged in this way.

The percpu_counter is used for scenarios where performance is more
important than the accuracy. For percpu_counter users, who want more
accurate information in their slowpath, percpu_counter_sum is provided
which traverses all the online CPUs to accumulate the data. The reason it
only needs to traverse online CPUs is because percpu_counter does
implement CPU offline callback which syncs the local data of the offlined
CPU.
However there is a small race window between the online CPUs traversal of
percpu_counter_sum and the CPU offline callback. The offline callback has
to traverse all the percpu_counters on the system to flush the CPU local
data which can be a lot. During that time, the CPU which is going offline
has already been published as offline to all the readers. So, as the
offline callback is running, percpu_counter_sum can be called for one
counter which has some state on the CPU going offline. Since
percpu_counter_sum only traverses online CPUs, it will skip that specific
CPU and the offline callback might not have flushed the state for that
specific percpu_counter on that offlined CPU.
Normally this is not an issue because percpu_counter users can deal with
some inaccuracy for small time window. However a new user i.e. mm_struct
on the cleanup path wants to check the exact state of the percpu_counter
through check_mm(). For such users, this patch introduces
percpu_counter_sum_all() which traverses all possible CPUs and it is used
in fork.c:check_mm() to avoid the potential race.
This issue is exposed by the later patch "mm: convert mm's rss stats into
percpu_counter".

Currently mm_struct maintains rss_stats which are updated on page fault
and the unmapping codepaths. For page fault codepath the updates are
cached per thread with the batch of TASK_RSS_EVENTS_THRESH which is 64.
The reason for caching is performance for multithreaded applications
otherwise the rss_stats updates may become hotspot for such applications.
However this optimization comes with the cost of error margin in the rss
stats. The rss_stats for applications with large number of threads can be
very skewed. At worst the error margin is (nr_threads * 64) and we have a
lot of applications with 100s of threads, so the error margin can be very
high. Internally we had to reduce TASK_RSS_EVENTS_THRESH to 32.
Recently we started seeing the unbounded errors for rss_stats for specific
applications which use TCP rx0cp. It seems like vm_insert_pages()
codepath does not sync rss_stats at all.
This patch converts the rss_stats into percpu_counter to convert the error
margin from (nr_threads * 64) to approximately (nr_cpus ^ 2). However
this conversion enable us to get the accurate stats for situations where
accuracy is more important than the cpu cost.
This patch does not make such tradeoffs - we can just use
percpu_counter_add_local() for the updates and percpu_counter_sum() (or
percpu_counter_sync() + percpu_counter_read) for the readers. At the
moment the readers are either procfs interface, oom_killer and memory
reclaim which I think are not performance critical and should be ok with
slow read. However I think we can make that change in a separate patch.

This happens because the Xen hypervisor can't emulate direct writes to

This can easily be fixed by introducing arch_has_hw_nonleaf_pmd_young()

madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) ends up calling zap_page_range() to clear page
tables associated with the address range. For hugetlb vmas,
zap_page_range will call __unmap_hugepage_range_final. However,
__unmap_hugepage_range_final assumes the passed vma is about to be removed
and deletes the vma_lock to prevent pmd sharing as the vma is on the way
out. In the case of madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) the vma remains, but the
missing vma_lock prevents pmd sharing and could potentially lead to issues
with truncation/fault races.
This issue was originally reported here [1] as a BUG triggered in
page_try_dup_anon_rmap. Prior to the introduction of the hugetlb
vma_lock, __unmap_hugepage_range_final cleared the VM_MAYSHARE flag to
prevent pmd sharing. Subsequent faults on this vma were confused as
VM_MAYSHARE indicates a sharable vma, but was not set so page_mapping was
not set in new pages added to the page table. This resulted in pages that
appeared anonymous in a VM_SHARED vma and triggered the BUG.
Address issue by adding a new zap flag ZAP_FLAG_UNMAP to indicate an unmap
call from unmap_vmas(). This is used to indicate the 'final' unmapping of
a hugetlb vma. When called via MADV_DONTNEED, this flag is not set and
the vm_lock is not deleted.

It is because khugepaged allocates pages with __GFP_THISNODE, but the
preferred node is bogus. The previous patch fixed the khugepaged code to
avoid allocating page from non-existing node. But it is still racy
against memory hotremove. There is no synchronization with the memory
hotplug so it is possible that memory gets offline during a longer taking
scanning.
So this warning still seems not quite helpful because:
* There is no guarantee the node is online for __GFP_THISNODE context
for all the callsites.
* Kernel just fails the allocation regardless the warning, and it looks
all callsites handle the allocation failure gracefully.
Although while the warning has helped to identify a buggy code, it is not
safe in general and this warning could panic the system with panic-on-warn
configuration which tends to be used surprisingly often. So replace
VM_WARN_ON to pr_warn(). And the warning will be triggered if
__GFP_NOWARN is set since the allocator would print out warning for such
case if __GFP_NOWARN is not set.

Currently PageHWPoison flag does not behave well when experiencing memory
hotremove/hotplug. Any data field in struct page is unreliable when the
associated memory is offlined, and the current mechanism can't tell
whether a memory block is onlined because a new memory devices is
installed or because previous failed offline operations are undone.
Especially if there's a hwpoisoned memory, it's unclear what the best
option is.
So introduce a new mechanism to make struct memory_block remember that a
memory block has hwpoisoned memory inside it. And make any online event
fail if the onlining memory block contains hwpoison. struct memory_block
is freed and reallocated over ACPI-based hotremove/hotplug, but not over
sysfs-based hotremove/hotplug. So the new counter can distinguish these

Patch series "begin converting hugetlb code to folios", v4.
This patch series starts the conversion of the hugetlb code to operate on
struct folios rather than struct pages. This removes the ambiguitiy of
whether functions are operating on head pages, tail pages of compound
pages, or base pages.
This series passes the linux test project hugetlb test cases.
Patch 1 adds hugeltb specific page macros that can operate on folios.
Patch 2 adds the private field of the first tail page to struct page. For
32-bit, _private_1 alinging with page[1].private was confirmed by using
pahole.
Patch 3 introduces hugetlb subpool helper functions which operate on
struct folios. These patches were tested using the hugepage-mmap.c
selftest along with the migratepages command.
Patch 4 converts hugetlb_delete_from_page_cache() to use folios.
Patch 5 adds a folio_hstate() function to get hstate information from a
folio and adds a user of folio_hstate().
Bpftrace was used to track time spent in the free_huge_pages function
during the ltp test cases as it is a caller of the hugetlb subpool
functions. From the histogram, the performance is similar before and
after the patch series.

This patch (of 5):
Allow the macros which test, set, and clear hugetlb specific page flags to
take a hugetlb folio as an input. The macrros are generated as
folio_{test, set, clear}_hugetlb_{restore_reserve, migratable, temporary,
freed, vmemmap_optimized, raw_hwp_unreliable}.

We noticed a 2% webserver throughput regression after upgrading from 5.6.
This could be tracked down to a shift in the anon/file reclaim balance
(confirmed with swappiness) that resulted in worse reclaim efficiency and
thus more kswapd activity for the same outcome.
The change that exposed the problem is aae466b005 ("mm/swap: implement
workingset detection for anonymous LRU"). By qualifying swapins based on
their refault distance, it lowered the cost of anon reclaim in this
workload, in turn causing (much) more anon scanning than before. Scanning
the anon list is more expensive due to the higher ratio of mmapped pages
that may rotate during reclaim, and so the result was an increase in %sys
time.
Right now, rotations aren't considered a cost when balancing scan pressure
between LRUs. We can end up with very few file refaults putting all the
scan pressure on hot anon pages that are rotated en masse, don't get
reclaimed, and never push back on the file LRU again. We still only
reclaim file cache in that case, but we burn a lot CPU rotating anon
pages. It's "fair" from an LRU age POV, but doesn't reflect the real cost
it imposes on the system.
Consider rotations as a secondary factor in balancing the LRUs. This
doesn't attempt to make a precise comparison between IO cost and CPU cost,
it just says: if reloads are about comparable between the lists, or
rotations are overwhelmingly different, adjust for CPU work.
This fixed the regression on our webservers. It has since been deployed
to the entire Meta fleet and hasn't caused any problems.

During discussions of this series [1], it was suggested that hugetlb
handling code in follow_page_mask could be simplified. At the beginning
of follow_page_mask, there currently is a call to follow_huge_addr which
'may' handle hugetlb pages. ia64 is the only architecture which provides
a follow_huge_addr routine that does not return error. Instead, at each
level of the page table a check is made for a hugetlb entry. If a hugetlb
entry is found, a call to a routine associated with that entry is made.
Currently, there are two checks for hugetlb entries at each page table
level. The first check is of the form:
if (p?d_huge())
page = follow_huge_p?d();
the second check is of the form:
if (is_hugepd())
page = follow_huge_pd().
We can replace these checks, as well as the special handling routines such
as follow_huge_p?d() and follow_huge_pd() with a single routine to handle
hugetlb vmas.
A new routine hugetlb_follow_page_mask is called for hugetlb vmas at the
beginning of follow_page_mask. hugetlb_follow_page_mask will use the
existing routine huge_pte_offset to walk page tables looking for hugetlb
entries. huge_pte_offset can be overwritten by architectures, and already
handles special cases such as hugepd entries.

Along the development cycle, the testing code support for module/in-kernel
compiles was removed. Restore this functionality by moving any internal
API tests to the userspace side, as well as threading tests. Fix the
lockdep issues and add a way to reduce memory usage so the tests can
complete with KASAN + memleak detection. Make the tests work on 32 bit
hosts where possible and detect 32 bit hosts in the radix test suite.
