Applications can currently escape their cgroup memory containment when
zswap is enabled. This patch adds per-cgroup tracking and limiting of
zswap backend memory to rectify this.
The existing cgroup2 memory.stat file is extended to show zswap statistics
analogous to what's in meminfo and vmstat. Furthermore, two new control
files, memory.zswap.current and memory.zswap.max, are added to allow
tuning zswap usage on a per-workload basis. This is important since not
all workloads benefit from zswap equally; some even suffer compared to
disk swap when memory contents don't compress well. The optimal size of
the zswap pool, and the threshold for writeback, also depends on the size
of the workload's warm set.
The implementation doesn't use a traditional page_counter transaction.
zswap is unconventional as a memory consumer in that we only know the
amount of memory to charge once expensive compression has occurred. If
zwap is disabled or the limit is already exceeded we obviously don't want
to compress page upon page only to reject them all. Instead, the limit is
checked against current usage, then we compress and charge. This allows
some limit overrun, but not enough to matter in practice.

We must add hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on (or "off") to the boot cmdline and
reboot the server to enable or disable the feature of optimizing vmemmap
pages associated with HugeTLB pages. However, rebooting usually takes a
long time. So add a sysctl to enable or disable the feature at runtime
without rebooting. Why we need this? There are 3 use cases.
1) The feature of minimizing overhead of struct page associated with
each HugeTLB is disabled by default without passing
"hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" to the boot cmdline. When we (ByteDance)
deliver the servers to the users who want to enable this feature, they
have to configure the grub (change boot cmdline) and reboot the
servers, whereas rebooting usually takes a long time (we have thousands
of servers). It's a very bad experience for the users. So we need a
approach to enable this feature after rebooting. This is a use case in
our practical environment.
2) Some use cases are that HugeTLB pages are allocated 'on the fly'
instead of being pulled from the HugeTLB pool, those workloads would be
affected with this feature enabled. Those workloads could be
identified by the characteristics of they never explicitly allocating
huge pages with 'nr_hugepages' but only set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages'
and then let the pages be allocated from the buddy allocator at fault
time. We can confirm it is a real use case from the commit
099730d674. For those workloads, the page fault time could be ~2x
slower than before. We suspect those users want to disable this
feature if the system has enabled this before and they don't think the
memory savings benefit is enough to make up for the performance drop.
3) If the workload which wants vmemmap pages to be optimized and the
workload which wants to set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages' and does not want
the extera overhead at fault time when the overcommitted pages be
allocated from the buddy allocator are deployed in the same server.
The user could enable this feature and set 'nr_hugepages' and
'nr_overcommit_hugepages', then disable the feature. In this case, the
overcommited HugeTLB pages will not encounter the extra overhead at
fault time.

Patch series "Extend and reorganize Highmem's documentation", v4.
This series has the purpose to extend and reorganize Highmem's
documentation.
This is a work in progress because some information should still be moved
from highmem.rst to highmem.h and highmem-internal.h. Specifically I'm
talking about moving the "how to" information to the relevant headers, as
it as been suggested by Ira Weiny (Intel).
Also, this is a work in progress because some kdocs in highmem.h and
highmem-internal.h should be improved.
This patch (of 4):
`scripts/kernel-doc -v -none include/linux/highmem*` reports the following
warnings:
include/linux/highmem.h:160: warning: expecting prototype for kunmap_atomic(). Prototype was for nr_free_highpages() instead
include/linux/highmem.h:204: warning: No description found for return value of 'alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable'
include/linux/highmem-internal.h:256: warning: Function parameter or member '__addr' not described in 'kunmap_atomic'
include/linux/highmem-internal.h:256: warning: Excess function parameter 'addr' description in 'kunmap_atomic'
Fix these warnings by (1) moving the kernel-doc comments from highmem.h to
highmem-internal.h (which is the file were the kunmap_atomic() macro is
actually defined), (2) extending and merging it with the comment which was
already in highmem-internal.h, and (3) using correct parameter names (4)
correcting a few technical inaccuracies in comments, and (5) adding a
deprecation notice in kunmap_atomic() for consistency with kmap_atomic().

The call to can_split_folio() in vmscan is currently guarded by a test of
PageTransHuge() so the BUILD_BUG() is eliminated if THP are disabled. The
next patch replaces that test with folio_test_large() which may be true,
even when THP are disabled. However, if THP are disabled, we cannot
split, so an unconditional return of false is appropriate.

Patch series "Use pageblock_order for cma and alloc_contig_range alignment", v11.
This patchset tries to remove the MAX_ORDER-1 alignment requirement for CMA
and alloc_contig_range(). It prepares for my upcoming changes to make
MAX_ORDER adjustable at boot time[1].
The MAX_ORDER - 1 alignment requirement comes from that
alloc_contig_range() isolates pageblocks to remove free memory from buddy
allocator but isolating only a subset of pageblocks within a page spanning
across multiple pageblocks causes free page accounting issues. Isolated
page might not be put into the right free list, since the code assumes the
migratetype of the first pageblock as the whole free page migratetype.
This is based on the discussion at [2].
To remove the requirement, this patchset:
1. isolates pages at pageblock granularity instead of
max(MAX_ORDER_NR_PAEGS, pageblock_nr_pages);
2. splits free pages across the specified range or migrates in-use pages
across the specified range then splits the freed page to avoid free page
accounting issues (it happens when multiple pageblocks within a single page
have different migratetypes);
3. only checks unmovable pages within the range instead of MAX_ORDER - 1 aligned
range during isolation to avoid alloc_contig_range() failure when pageblocks
within a MAX_ORDER - 1 aligned range are allocated separately.
4. returns pages not in the range as it did before.
One optimization might come later:
1. make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a separate bit to be able to restore the original
migratetypes when isolation fails in the middle of the range.

As with shmem uffd-wp special ptes, only drop the uffd-wp special swap pte
if unmapping an entire vma or synchronized such that faults can not race
with the unmap operation. This requires passing zap_flags all the way to
the lowest level hugetlb unmap routine: __unmap_hugepage_range.
In general, unmap calls originated in hugetlbfs code will pass the
ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER flag as synchronization is in place to prevent
faults. The exception is hole punch which will first unmap without any
synchronization. Later when hole punch actually removes the page from the
file, it will check to see if there was a subsequent fault and if so take
the hugetlb fault mutex while unmapping again. This second unmap will
pass in ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER.
The justification of "whether to apply ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER flag when
unmap a hugetlb range" is (IMHO): we should never reach a state when a
page fault could errornously fault in a page-cache page that was
wr-protected to be writable, even in an extremely short period. That
could happen if e.g. we pass ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER when
hugetlbfs_punch_hole() calls hugetlb_vmdelete_list(), because if a page
faults after that call and before remove_inode_hugepages() is executed,
the page cache can be mapped writable again in the small racy window, that
can cause unexpected data overwritten.

File-backed memory is prone to being unmapped at any time. It means all
information in the pte will be dropped, including the uffd-wp flag.
To persist the uffd-wp flag, we'll use the pte markers. This patch
teaches the zap code to understand uffd-wp and know when to keep or drop
the uffd-wp bit.
Add a new flag ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER and set it in zap_details when we
don't want to persist such an information, for example, when destroying
the whole vma, or punching a hole in a shmem file. For the rest cases we
should never drop the uffd-wp bit, or the wr-protect information will get
lost.
The new ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER needs to be put into mm.h rather than
memory.c because it'll be further referenced in hugetlb files later.

File-backed memories are prone to unmap/swap so the ptes are always
unstable, because they can be easily faulted back later using the page
cache. This could lead to uffd-wp getting lost when unmapping or swapping
out such memory. One example is shmem. PTE markers are needed to store
those information.
This patch prepares it by handling uffd-wp pte markers first it is applied
elsewhere, so that the page fault handler can recognize uffd-wp pte
markers.
The handling of uffd-wp pte markers is similar to missing fault, it's just
that we'll handle this "missing fault" when we see the pte markers,
meanwhile we need to make sure the marker information is kept during
processing the fault.
This is a slow path of uffd-wp handling, because zapping of wr-protected
shmem ptes should be rare. So far it should only trigger in two
conditions:
(1) When trying to punch holes in shmem_fallocate(), there is an
optimization to zap the pgtables before evicting the page.
(2) When swapping out shmem pages.
Because of this, the page fault handling is simplifed too by not sending
the wr-protect message in the 1st page fault, instead the page will be
installed read-only, so the uffd-wp message will be generated in the next
fault, which will trigger the do_wp_page() path of general uffd-wp
handling.
Disable fault-around for all uffd-wp registered ranges for extra safety
just like uffd-minor fault, and clean the code up.

This patch allows do_fault() to trigger on !pte_none() cases too. This
prepares for the pte markers to be handled by do_fault() just like none
pte.
To achieve this, instead of unconditionally check against pte_none() in
finish_fault(), we may hit the case that the orig_pte was some pte marker
so what we want to do is to replace the pte marker with some valid pte
entry. Then if orig_pte was set we'd want to check the current *pte
(under pgtable lock) against orig_pte rather than none pte.
Right now there's no solid way to safely reference orig_pte because when
pmd is not allocated handle_pte_fault() will not initialize orig_pte, so
it's not safe to reference it.
There's another solution proposed before this patch to do pte_clear() for
vmf->orig_pte for pmd==NULL case, however it turns out it'll break arm32
because arm32 could have assumption that pte_t* pointer will always reside
on a real ram32 pgtable, not any kernel stack variable.
To solve this, we add a new flag FAULT_FLAG_ORIG_PTE_VALID, and it'll be
set along with orig_pte when there is valid orig_pte, or it'll be cleared
when orig_pte was not initialized.
It'll be updated every time we call handle_pte_fault(), so e.g. if a page
fault retry happened it'll be properly updated along with orig_pte.

Patch series "userfaultfd-wp: Support shmem and hugetlbfs", v8.
Overview
========
Userfaultfd-wp anonymous support was merged two years ago. There're quite
a few applications that started to leverage this capability either to take
snapshots for user-app memory, or use it for full user controled swapping.
This series tries to complete the feature for uffd-wp so as to cover all
the RAM-based memory types. So far uffd-wp is the only missing piece of
the rest features (uffd-missing & uffd-minor mode).
One major reason to do so is that anonymous pages are sometimes not
satisfying the need of applications, and there're growing users of either
shmem and hugetlbfs for either sharing purpose (e.g., sharing guest mem
between hypervisor process and device emulation process, shmem local live
migration for upgrades), or for performance on tlb hits.
All these mean that if a uffd-wp app wants to switch to any of the memory
types, it'll stop working. I think it's worthwhile to have the kernel to
cover all these aspects.
This series chose to protect pages in pte level not page level.
One major reason is safety. I have no idea how we could make it safe if
any of the uffd-privileged app can wr-protect a page that any other
application can use. It means this app can block any process potentially
for any time it wants.
The other reason is that it aligns very well with not only the anonymous
uffd-wp solution, but also uffd as a whole. For example, userfaultfd is
implemented fundamentally based on VMAs. We set flags to VMAs showing the
status of uffd tracking. For another per-page based protection solution,
it'll be crossing the fundation line on VMA-based, and it could simply be
too far away already from what's called userfaultfd.
PTE markers
===========
The patchset is based on the idea called PTE markers. It was discussed in
one of the mm alignment sessions, proposed starting from v6, and this is
the 2nd version of it using PTE marker idea.
PTE marker is a new type of swap entry that is ony applicable to file
backed memories like shmem and hugetlbfs. It's used to persist some
pte-level information even if the original present ptes in pgtable are
zapped.
Logically pte markers can store more than uffd-wp information, but so far
only one bit is used for uffd-wp purpose. When the pte marker is
installed with uffd-wp bit set, it means this pte is wr-protected by uffd.
It solves the problem on e.g. file-backed memory mapped ptes got zapped
due to any reason (e.g. thp split, or swapped out), we can still keep the
wr-protect information in the ptes. Then when the page fault triggers
again, we'll know this pte is wr-protected so we can treat the pte the
same as a normal uffd wr-protected pte.
The extra information is encoded into the swap entry, or swp_offset to be
explicit, with the swp_type being PTE_MARKER. So far uffd-wp only uses
one bit out of the swap entry, the rest bits of swp_offset are still
reserved for other purposes.
There're two configs to enable/disable PTE markers:
CONFIG_PTE_MARKER
CONFIG_PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP
We can set !PTE_MARKER to completely disable all the PTE markers, along
with uffd-wp support. I made two config so we can also enable PTE marker
but disable uffd-wp file-backed for other purposes. At the end of current
series, I'll enable CONFIG_PTE_MARKER by default, but that patch is
standalone and if anyone worries about having it by default, we can also
consider turn it off by dropping that oneliner patch. So far I don't see
a huge risk of doing so, so I kept that patch.
In most cases, PTE markers should be treated as none ptes. It is because
that unlike most of the other swap entry types, there's no PFN or block
offset information encoded into PTE markers but some extra well-defined
bits showing the status of the pte. These bits should only be used as
extra data when servicing an upcoming page fault, and then we behave as if
it's a none pte.
I did spend a lot of time observing all the pte_none() users this time.
It is indeed a challenge because there're a lot, and I hope I didn't miss
a single of them when we should take care of pte markers. Luckily, I
don't think it'll need to be considered in many cases, for example: boot
code, arch code (especially non-x86), kernel-only page handlings (e.g.
CPA), or device driver codes when we're tackling with pure PFN mappings.
I introduced pte_none_mostly() in this series when we need to handle pte
markers the same as none pte, the "mostly" is the other way to write
"either none pte or a pte marker".
I didn't replace pte_none() to cover pte markers for below reasons:
- Very rare case of pte_none() callers will handle pte markers. E.g., all
the kernel pages do not require knowledge of pte markers. So we don't
pollute the major use cases.
- Unconditionally change pte_none() semantics could confuse people, because
pte_none() existed for so long a time.
- Unconditionally change pte_none() semantics could make pte_none() slower
even if in many cases pte markers do not exist.
- There're cases where we'd like to handle pte markers differntly from
pte_none(), so a full replace is also impossible. E.g. khugepaged should
still treat pte markers as normal swap ptes rather than none ptes, because
pte markers will always need a fault-in to merge the marker with a valid
pte. Or the smap code will need to parse PTE markers not none ptes.

This patch (of 23):
Introduces a new swap entry type called PTE_MARKER. It can be installed
for any pte that maps a file-backed memory when the pte is temporarily
zapped, so as to maintain per-pte information.
The information that kept in the pte is called a "marker". Here we define
the marker as "unsigned long" just to match pgoff_t, however it will only
work if it still fits in swp_offset(), which is e.g. currently 58 bits on
x86_64.
A new config CONFIG_PTE_MARKER is introduced too; it's by default off. A
bunch of helpers are defined altogether to service the rest of the pte
marker code.

Patch series "mm/damon: Support online tuning".
Effects of DAMON and DAMON-based Operation Schemes highly depends on the
configurations. Wrong configurations could even result in unexpected
efficiency degradations. For finding a best configuration, repeating
incremental configuration changes and results measurements, in other
words, online tuning, could be helpful.
Nevertheless, DAMON kernel API supports only restrictive online tuning.
Worse yet, the sysfs-based DAMON user interface doesn't support online
tuning at all. DAMON_RECLAIM also doesn't support online tuning.
This patchset makes the DAMON kernel API, DAMON sysfs interface, and
DAMON_RECLAIM supports online tuning.
Sequence of patches
-------------------
First two patches enhance DAMON online tuning for kernel API users.
Specifically, patch 1 let kernel API users to be able to do DAMON online
tuning without a restriction, and patch 2 makes error handling easier.
Following seven patches (patches 3-9) refactor code for better readability
and easier reuse of code fragments that will be useful for online tuning
support.
Patch 10 introduces DAMON callback based user request handling structure
for DAMON sysfs interface, and patch 11 enables DAMON online tuning via
DAMON sysfs interface. Documentation patch (patch 12) for usage of it
follows.
Patch 13 enables online tuning of DAMON_RECLAIM and finally patch 14
documents the DAMON_RECLAIM online tuning usage.
This patch (of 14):
For updating input parameters for running DAMON contexts, DAMON kernel API
users can use the contexts' callbacks, as it is the safe place for context
internal data accesses. When the context has DAMON-based operation
schemes and all schemes are deactivated due to their watermarks, however,
DAMON does nothing but only watermarks checks. As a result, no callbacks
will be called back, and therefore the kernel API users cannot update the
input parameters including monitoring attributes, DAMON-based operation
schemes, and watermarks.
To let users easily update such DAMON input parameters in such a case,
this commit adds a new callback, 'after_wmarks_check()'. It will be
called after each watermarks check. Users can do the online input
parameters update in the callback even under the schemes deactivated case.
