Patch series "Optimize mremap during mutual alignment within PMD", v6.
This patchset optimizes the start addresses in move_page_tables() and
tests the changes. It addresses a warning [1] that occurs due to a
downward, overlapping move on a mutually-aligned offset within a PMD
during exec. By initiating the copy process at the PMD level when such
alignment is present, we can prevent this warning and speed up the copying
process at the same time. Linus Torvalds suggested this idea. Check the
individual patches for more details. [1]

This patch (of 7):
Recently, we see reports [1] of a warning that triggers due to
move_page_tables() doing a downward and overlapping move on a
mutually-aligned offset within a PMD. By mutual alignment, I mean the
source and destination addresses of the mremap are at the same offset
within a PMD.
This mutual alignment along with the fact that the move is downward is
sufficient to cause a warning related to having an allocated PMD that does
not have PTEs in it.
This warning will only trigger when there is mutual alignment in the move
operation. A solution, as suggested by Linus Torvalds [2], is to initiate
the copy process at the PMD level whenever such alignment is present.
Implementing this approach will not only prevent the warning from being
triggered, but it will also optimize the operation as this method should
enhance the speed of the copy process whenever there's a possibility to
start copying at the PMD level.
Some more points:
a. The optimization can be done only when both the source and
destination of the mremap do not have anything mapped below it up to a
PMD boundary. I add support to detect that.
b. #1 is not a problem for the call to move_page_tables() from exec.c as
nothing is expected to be mapped below the source. However, for
non-overlapping mutually aligned moves as triggered by mremap(2), I
added support for checking such cases.
c. I currently only optimize for PMD moves, in the future I/we can build
on this work and do PUD moves as well if there is a need for this. But I
want to take it one step at a time.
d. We need to be careful about mremap of ranges within the VMA itself.
For this purpose, I added checks to determine if the address after
alignment falls within its VMA itself.

The reason is that the hugetlb pages being released are allocated from
movable nodes, and with hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap enabled, vmemmap pages
need to be allocated from the same node during the hugetlb pages
releasing. With GFP_KERNEL and __GFP_THISNODE set, allocating from movable
node is always failed. Fix this problem by removing __GFP_THISNODE.

Use this_cpu_try_cmpxchg instead of this_cpu_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) ==
old in mod_zone_state and mod_node_state. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns
success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and
related move instruction in front of cmpxchg).
Also, try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg
fails. There is no need to re-read the value in the loop.
No functional change intended.

In set_nr_huge_pages(), local variable "count" is used to record
persistent_huge_pages(), but when it cames to nodes huge page allocation,
the semantics changes to nr_huge_pages. When there exists surplus huge
pages and using the interface under
/sys/devices/system/node/node*/hugepages to change huge page pool size,
this difference can result in the allocation of an unexpected number of
huge pages.
Steps to reproduce the bug:
Starting with:
Node 0 Node 1 Total
HugePages_Total 0.00 0.00 0.00
HugePages_Free 0.00 0.00 0.00
HugePages_Surp 0.00 0.00 0.00
create 100 huge pages in Node 0 and consume it, then set Node 0 's
nr_hugepages to 0.
yields:
Node 0 Node 1 Total
HugePages_Total 200.00 0.00 200.00
HugePages_Free 0.00 0.00 0.00
HugePages_Surp 200.00 0.00 200.00
write 100 to Node 1's nr_hugepages
echo 100 > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/\
hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
gets:
Node 0 Node 1 Total
HugePages_Total 200.00 400.00 600.00
HugePages_Free 0.00 400.00 400.00
HugePages_Surp 200.00 0.00 200.00
Kernel is expected to create only 100 huge pages and it gives 200.

Currently, vmemmap optimization of hugetlb pages is performed before the
hugetlb flag (previously hugetlb destructor) is set identifying it as a
hugetlb folio. This means there is a window of time where an ordinary
folio does not have all associated vmemmap present. The core mm only
expects vmemmap to be potentially optimized for hugetlb and device dax.
This can cause problems in code such as memory error handling that may
want to write to tail struct pages.
There is only one call to perform hugetlb vmemmap optimization today. To
fix this issue, simply set the hugetlb flag before that call.
There was a similar issue in the free hugetlb path that was previously
addressed. The two routines that optimize or restore hugetlb vmemmap
should only be passed hugetlb folios/pages. To catch any callers not
following this rule, add VM_WARN_ON calls to the routines. In the hugetlb
free code paths, some calls could be made to restore vmemmap after
clearing the hugetlb flag. This was 'safe' as in these cases vmemmap was
already present and the call was a NOOP. However, for consistency these
calls where eliminated so that we can add the VM_WARN_ON checks.

We use move_freelist_head after list_for_each_entry_reverse to skip recent
pages. And there is no need to do actual move if all freepages are
searched in list_for_each_entry_reverse, e.g. freepage point to first
page in freelist. It's more intuitively to call list_is_first with list
entry as the first argument and list head as the second argument to check
if list entry is the first list entry instead of call list_is_last with
list entry and list head passed in reverse.
Similarly, call list_is_last in move_freelist_tail is more intuitively.

Drivers must not reference functions marked with __exit as these likely
are not available when the code is built-in.
There are few creative offenders uncovered for example in ARCH=amd64

W=1 builds.
The dual rule that drivers must not reference .init.* is implemented
since commit 0db2524523 ("modpost: don't allow *driver to reference

- Add cond_resched in the loop that handles converting enums in

- Fix premature wake ups of polling processes in the tracing ring

the polling's percentage to the "shortest_full" list to tell the
writer when to wake it up.
- For eventfs dir lookups on dynamic events, an event system's only

totally legitimate. But in eventfs_release() it must not access the

All architectures should use a long aligned address passed to set_bit().
User processes can pass either a 32-bit or 64-bit sized value to be
updated when tracing is enabled when on a 64-bit kernel. Both cases are
ensured to be naturally aligned, however, that is not enough. The
address must be long aligned without affecting checks on the value
within the user process which require different adjustments for the bit
for little and big endian CPUs.
Add a compat flag to user_event_enabler that indicates when a 32-bit
value is being used on a 64-bit kernel. Long align addresses and correct
the bit to be used by set_bit() to account for this alignment. Ensure
compat flags are copied during forks and used during deletion clears.

When kernel is compiled without preemption, the eval_map_work_func()
(which calls trace_event_eval_update()) will not be preempted up to its
complete execution. This can actually cause a problem since if another
CPU call stop_machine(), the call will have to wait for the
eval_map_work_func() function to finish executing in the workqueue
before being able to be scheduled. This problem was observe on a SMP
system at boot time, when the CPU calling the initcalls executed
clocksource_done_booting() which in the end calls stop_machine(). We
observed a 1 second delay because one CPU was executing
eval_map_work_func() and was not preempted by the stop_machine() task.
Adding a call to cond_resched() in trace_event_eval_update() allows
other tasks to be executed and thus continue working asynchronously
like before without blocking any pending task at boot time.

It was discovered that the ring buffer polling was incorrectly stating
that read would not block, but that's because polling did not take into
account that reads will block if the "buffer-percent" was set. Instead,
the ring buffer polling would say reads would not block if there was any
data in the ring buffer. This was incorrect behavior from a user space
point of view. This was fixed by commit 42fb0a1e84 by having the polling
code check if the ring buffer had more data than what the user specified
"buffer percent" had.
The problem now is that the polling code did not register itself to the
writer that it wanted to wait for a specific "full" value of the ring
buffer. The result was that the writer would wake the polling waiter
whenever there was a new event. The polling waiter would then wake up, see
that there's not enough data in the ring buffer to notify user space and
then go back to sleep. The next event would wake it up again.
Before the polling fix was added, the code would wake up around 100 times
for a hackbench 30 benchmark. After the "fix", due to the constant waking
of the writer, it would wake up over 11,0000 times! It would never leave
the kernel, so the user space behavior was still "correct", but this
definitely is not the desired effect.
To fix this, have the polling code add what it's waiting for to the
"shortest_full" variable, to tell the writer not to wake it up if the
buffer is not as full as it expects to be.
Note, after this fix, it appears that the waiter is now woken up around 2x
the times it was before (~200). This is a tremendous improvement from the
11,000 times, but I will need to spend some time to see why polling is
more aggressive in its wakeups than the read blocking code.

=======
The memory hotplug events are notified very quickly and very many, while
the handling of crash hotplug is much slower relatively. So the atomic
variable __kexec_lock and kexec_trylock() can't guarantee the
serialization of crash hotplug handling.
Here, add a new mutex lock __crash_hotplug_lock to serialize crash hotplug
handling specifically. This doesn't impact the usage of __kexec_lock.

When calling mbind() with MPOL_MF_{MOVE|MOVEALL} | MPOL_MF_STRICT, kernel
should attempt to migrate all existing pages, and return -EIO if there is
misplaced or unmovable page. Then commit 6f4576e368 ("mempolicy: apply
page table walker on queue_pages_range()") messed up the return value and
didn't break VMA scan early ianymore when MPOL_MF_STRICT alone. The
return value problem was fixed by commit a7f40cfe3b ("mm: mempolicy:
make mbind() return -EIO when MPOL_MF_STRICT is specified"), but it broke
the VMA walk early if unmovable page is met, it may cause some pages are
not migrated as expected.
The code should conceptually do:
if (MPOL_MF_MOVE|MOVEALL)
scan all vmas
try to migrate the existing pages
return success
else if (MPOL_MF_MOVE* | MPOL_MF_STRICT)
scan all vmas
try to migrate the existing pages
return -EIO if unmovable or migration failed
else /* MPOL_MF_STRICT alone */
break early if meets unmovable and don't call mbind_range() at all
else /* none of those flags */
check the ranges in test_walk, EFAULT without mbind_range() if discontig.
Fixed the behavior.
