There is no real difference between the global area, and other
additionally configured CMA areas via CONFIG_CMA_AREAS that always
defaults without user input. This makes MAX_CMA_AREAS same as
CONFIG_CMA_AREAS, also incrementing its default values, thus maintaining
current default for MAX_CMA_AREAS both for UMA and NUMA systems.

Patch series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation", v2.
This is a fix for a case where a backing huge page could stolen after
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED).
A full reproducer is in selftest. See
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240105155419.1939484-1-leitao@debian.org/
In order to test this patch, I instrumented the kernel with LOCKDEP and
KASAN, and run the following tests, without any regression:
* The self test that reproduces the problem
* All mm hugetlb selftests
SUMMARY: PASS=9 SKIP=0 FAIL=0
* All libhugetlbfs tests
PASS: 0 86
FAIL: 0 0
This patch (of 2):
Currently there is a bug that a huge page could be stolen, and when the
original owner tries to fault in it, it causes a page fault.
You can achieve that by:
1) Creating a single page
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
2) mmap() the page above with MAP_HUGETLB into (void *ptr1).
* This will mark the page as reserved
3) touch the page, which causes a page fault and allocates the page
* This will move the page out of the free list.
* It will also unreserved the page, since there is no more free
page
4) madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) the page
* This will free the page, but not mark it as reserved.
5) Allocate a secondary page with mmap(MAP_HUGETLB) into (void *ptr2).
* it should fail, but, since there is no more available page.
* But, since the page above is not reserved, this mmap() succeed.
6) Faulting at ptr1 will cause a SIGBUS
* it will try to allocate a huge page, but there is none
available
A full reproducer is in selftest. See
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240105155419.1939484-1-leitao@debian.org/
Fix this by restoring the reserved page if necessary.
These are the condition for the page restore:
* The system is not using surplus pages. The goal is to reduce the
surplus usage for this case.
* If the VMA has the HPAGE_RESV_OWNER flag set, and is PRIVATE. This is
safely checked using __vma_private_lock()
* The page is anonymous
Once this is scenario is found, set the `hugetlb_restore_reserve` bit in
the folio. Then check if the resv reservations need to be adjusted
later, done later, after the spinlock, since the vma_xxxx_reservation()
might touch the file system lock.

Before 388536ac291 ("mm:vmscan: fix inaccurate reclaim during proactive
reclaim") we passed the number of pages for the reclaim request directly
to try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages, which could lead to significant
overreclaim. After 0388536ac2 the number of pages was limited to a
maximum 32 (SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX) to reduce the amount of overreclaim.
However such a small batch size caused a regression in reclaim performance
due to many more reclaim start/stop cycles inside memory_reclaim. The
restart cost is amortized over more pages with larger batch sizes, and
becomes a significant component of the runtime if the batch size is too
small.
Reclaim tries to balance nr_to_reclaim fidelity with fairness across nodes
and cgroups over which the pages are spread. As such, the bigger the
request, the bigger the absolute overreclaim error. Historic in-kernel
users of reclaim have used fixed, small sized requests to approach an
appropriate reclaim rate over time. When we reclaim a user request of
arbitrary size, use decaying batch sizes to manage error while maintaining
reasonable throughput.

Patch series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP", v3.
Now that the rmap overhaul[1] is upstream that provides a clean interface
for rmap batching, let's implement PTE batching during fork when
processing PTE-mapped THPs.
This series is partially based on Ryan's previous work[2] to implement
cont-pte support on arm64, but its a complete rewrite based on [1] to
optimize all architectures independent of any such PTE bits, and to use
the new rmap batching functions that simplify the code and prepare for
further rmap accounting changes.
We collect consecutive PTEs that map consecutive pages of the same large
folio, making sure that the other PTE bits are compatible, and (a) adjust
the refcount only once per batch, (b) call rmap handling functions only
once per batch and (c) perform batch PTE setting/updates.
While this series should be beneficial for adding cont-pte support on
ARM64[2], it's one of the requirements for maintaining a total mapcount[3]
for large folios with minimal added overhead and further changes[4] that
build up on top of the total mapcount.
Independent of all that, this series results in a speedup during fork with
PTE-mapped THP, which is the default with THPs that are smaller than a PMD
(for example, 16KiB to 1024KiB mTHPs for anonymous memory[5]).
On an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R CPU, fork'ing with 1GiB of PTE-mapped folios
of the same size (stddev < 1%) results in the following runtimes for
fork() (shorter is better):
Folio Size | v6.8-rc1 | New | Change
------------------------------------------
4KiB | 0.014328 | 0.014035 | - 2%
16KiB | 0.014263 | 0.01196 | -16%
32KiB | 0.014334 | 0.01094 | -24%
64KiB | 0.014046 | 0.010444 | -26%
128KiB | 0.014011 | 0.010063 | -28%
256KiB | 0.013993 | 0.009938 | -29%
512KiB | 0.013983 | 0.00985 | -30%
1024KiB | 0.013986 | 0.00982 | -30%
2048KiB | 0.014305 | 0.010076 | -30%
Note that these numbers are even better than the ones from v1 (verified
over multiple reboots), even though there were only minimal code changes.
Well, I removed a pte_mkclean() call for anon folios, maybe that also
plays a role.
But my experience is that fork() is extremely sensitive to code size,
inlining, ... so I suspect we'll see on other architectures rather a
change of -20% instead of -30%, and it will be easy to "lose" some of that
speedup in the future by subtle code changes.
Next up is PTE batching when unmapping. Only tested on x86-64.
Compile-tested on most other architectures.

This patch (of 15):
Since the high bits [51:48] of an OA are not stored contiguously in the
PTE, there is a theoretical bug in set_ptes(), which just adds PAGE_SIZE
to the pte to get the pte with the next pfn. This works until the pfn
crosses the 48-bit boundary, at which point we overflow into the upper
attributes.
Of course one could argue (and Matthew Wilcox has :) that we will never
see a folio cross this boundary because we only allow naturally aligned
power-of-2 allocation, so this would require a half-petabyte folio. So
its only a theoretical bug. But its better that the code is robust
regardless.
I've implemented pte_next_pfn() as part of the fix, which is an opt-in
core-mm interface. So that is now available to the core-mm, which will be
needed shortly to support forthcoming fork()-batching optimizations.

Currently we will use 'cc->nr_freepages >= cc->nr_migratepages' comparison
to ensure that enough freepages are isolated in isolate_freepages(),
however it just decreases the cc->nr_freepages without updating
cc->nr_migratepages in compaction_alloc(), which will waste more CPU
cycles and cause too many freepages to be isolated.
So we should also update the cc->nr_migratepages when allocating or
freeing the freepages to avoid isolating excess freepages. And I can see
fewer free pages are scanned and isolated when running thpcompact on my
Arm64 server:
k6.7 k6.7_patched
Ops Compaction pages isolated 120692036.00 118160797.00

Ops Compaction free scanned 1090587971.00 1080632536.00
Ops Compact scan efficiency 12.03 14.26
Moreover, I did not see an obvious latency improvements, this is likely
because isolating freepages is not the bottleneck in the thpcompact test
case.

Conform the layout, informational and status messages to TAP. No
functional change is intended other than the layout of output messages.
Also remove unneeded logging which isn't enabled. Skip a hugepage size if
it has less free pages to avoid unnecessary failures. For examples, some
systems may not have 1GB hugepage free. So skip 1GB for testing in this
test instead of failing the entire test.

Patch series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests", v2.
This is a respin of the test_xarray multi-index tests [0] which use and
demonstrate the advanced API which is used by the page cache. This should
let folks more easily follow how we use multi-index to support for example
a min order later in the page cache. It also lets us grow the selftests
to mimic more of what we do in the page cache.
This patch (of 2):
The multi index selftests are great but they don't replicate how we deal
with the page cache exactly, which makes it a bit hard to follow as the
page cache uses the advanced API.
Add tests which use the advanced API, mimicking what we do in the page
cache, while at it, extend the example to do what is needed for min order
support.
