Patch series "Avoid MAP_FIXED gap exposure", v8.
It is now possible to walk the vma tree using the rcu read locks and is
beneficial to do so to reduce lock contention. Doing so while a MAP_FIXED
mapping is executing means that a reader may see a gap in the vma tree
that should never logically exist - and does not when using the mmap lock
in read mode. The temporal gap exists because mmap_region() calls
munmap() prior to installing the new mapping.
This patch set stops rcu readers from seeing the temporal gap by splitting
up the munmap() function into two parts. The first part prepares the vma
tree for modifications by doing the necessary splits and tracks the vmas
marked for removal in a side tree. The second part completes the
munmapping of the vmas after the vma tree has been overwritten (either by
a MAP_FIXED replacement vma or by a NULL in the munmap() case).
Please note that rcu walkers will still be able to see a temporary state
of split vmas that may be in the process of being removed, but the
temporal gap will not be exposed. vma_start_write() are called on both
parts of the split vma, so this state is detectable.
If existing vmas have a vm_ops->close(), then they will be called prior to
mapping the new vmas (and ptes are cleared out). Without calling
->close(), hugetlbfs tests fail (hugemmap06 specifically) due to resources
still being marked as 'busy'. Unfortunately, calling the corresponding
->open() may not restore the state of the vmas, so it is safer to keep the
existing failure scenario where a gap is inserted and never replaced. The
failure scenario is in its own patch (0015) for traceability.
This patch (of 21):
The vma iterator may be left pointing to the newly created vma. This
happens when inserting the new vma at the end of the old vma (!new_below).
The incorrect position in the vma iterator is not exposed currently since
the vma iterator is repositioned in the munmap path and is not reused in
any of the other paths.
This has limited impact in the current code, but is required for future
changes.

Patch series "mm: store zero pages to be swapped out in a bitmap", v8.
As shown in the patch series that introduced the zswap same-filled
optimization [1], 10-20% of the pages stored in zswap are same-filled.
This is also observed across Meta's server fleet. By using VM counters in
swap_writepage (not included in this patchseries) it was found that less
than 1% of the same-filled pages to be swapped out are non-zero pages.
For conventional swap setup (without zswap), rather than reading/writing
these pages to flash resulting in increased I/O and flash wear, a bitmap
can be used to mark these pages as zero at write time, and the pages can
be filled at read time if the bit corresponding to the page is set.
When using zswap with swap, this also means that a zswap_entry does not
need to be allocated for zero filled pages resulting in memory savings
which would offset the memory used for the bitmap.
A similar attempt was made earlier in [2] where zswap would only track
zero-filled pages instead of same-filled. This patchseries adds
zero-filled pages optimization to swap (hence it can be used even if zswap
is disabled) and removes the same-filled code from zswap (as only 1% of
the same-filled pages are non-zero), simplifying code.

We've been noticing a trend of significant lock contention in the swap
subsystem as core counts have been increasing in our fleet. It turns out
that our swapfiles on btrfs on flash were in fact using the old swap code
for rotational storage.
This turns out to be a detection issue in the swapon sequence: btrfs sets
si->bdev during swap activation, which currently happens *after* swapon's
SSD detection and cluster setup. Thus, none of the SSD optimizations and
cluster lock splitting are enabled for btrfs swap.
Rearrange the swapon sequence so that filesystem activation happens
*before* determining swap behavior based on the backing device.
Afterwards, the nonrotational drive is detected correctly:

Currently, running the charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh selftest we can
sometimes observe something like:
$ ./charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh -cgroup-v2
...
write_result is 0
After write:
hugetlb_usage=0
reserved_usage=10485760
killing write_to_hugetlbfs
Received 2.
Deleting the memory
Detach failure: Invalid argument
umount: /mnt/huge: target is busy.
Both cases are issues in the test.
While the unmount error seems to be racy, it will make the test fail:
$ ./run_vmtests.sh -t hugetlb
...
# [FAIL]
not ok 10 charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh -cgroup-v2 # exit=32
The issue is that we are not waiting for the write_to_hugetlbfs process to
quit. So it might still have a hugetlbfs file open, about which umount is
not happy. Fix that by making "killall" wait for the process to quit.
The other error ("Detach failure: Invalid argument") does not seem to
result in a test error, but is misleading. Turns out write_to_hugetlbfs.c
unconditionally tries to cleanup using shmdt(), even when we only
mmap()'ed a hugetlb file. Even worse, shmaddr is never even set for the
SHM case. Fix that as well.
With this change it seems to work as expected.

This flag has similar constraints to PG_owner_priv_1 -- it is ignored by
core code, and is entirely for the use of the code which allocated the
folio. Since the pagecache does not use it, individual filesystems can
use it. The bufferhead code does use it, so filesystems which use the
buffer cache must not use it for another purpose.

Patch series "Simplify the page flags a little".
In the course of our folio conversions, we have made many page flags only
used on folios, so we can now remove the page-based accessors. This
should cut down compile time a little, and prevent new users from cropping
up.
There is more that could be done in this area, but it would produce merge
conflicts, so I'll sit on those patches until next merge window. We now
have line of sight to removing PG_private_2 and PG_private.

Readahead support for IOCB_NOWAIT was introduced in commit 2e85abf053
("mm: allow read-ahead with IOCB_NOWAIT set"). However, this
implementation broke the semantics of IOCB_NOWAIT by potentially causing
it to wait on I/O during memory reclamation. This behavior was later
modified in commit efa8480a83 ("fs: RWF_NOWAIT should imply IOCB_NOIO").
To resolve the blocking issue during memory reclamation, we can use
memalloc_noio_{save,restore} to ensure non-blocking behavior. This change
restores the original functionality, allowing preadv2(IOCB_NOWAIT) to
trigger readahead if the file content is not present in the page cache.
While this process may trigger direct memory reclamation, the
__GFP_NORETRY flag is set in the readahead GFP flags, ensuring it won't
block.
A use case for this change is when we want to trigger readahead in the
preadv2(2) syscall if the file cache is absent, but without waiting for
certain filesystem locks, like xfs_ilock. A simple example is as follows:
retry:
if (preadv2(fd, iovec, cnt, offset, RWF_NOWAIT) < 0) {
do_other_work();
goto retry;
}

As long as krealloc() is called with __GFP_ZERO consistently, starting
with the initial memory allocation, __GFP_ZERO should be fully honored.
However, if for an existing allocation krealloc() is called with a
decreased size, it is not ensured that the spare portion the allocation is
zeroed. Thus, if krealloc() is subsequently called with a larger size
again, __GFP_ZERO can't be fully honored, since we don't know the previous
size, but only the bucket size.
Example:
buf = kzalloc(64, GFP_KERNEL);
memset(buf, 0xff, 64);
buf = krealloc(buf, 48, GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO);
/* After this call the last 16 bytes are still 0xff. */
buf = krealloc(buf, 64, GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO);
Fix this, by explicitly setting spare memory to zero, when shrinking an
allocation with __GFP_ZERO flag set or init_on_alloc enabled.

This patch (of 3):
Support __GFP_COMP in alloc_contig_range(). When the flag is set, upon
success the function returns a large folio prepared by prep_new_page(),
rather than a range of order-0 pages prepared by split_free_pages() (which
is renamed from split_map_pages()).
alloc_contig_range() can be used to allocate folios larger than
MAX_PAGE_ORDER, e.g., gigantic hugeTLB folios. So on the free path,
free_one_page() needs to handle that by split_large_buddy().

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.
