Migration entries do not contribute to a page's reference count: move
__split_huge_pmd_locked()'s page_ref_add() into pmd_migration's else
block (along with the page_count() check - a page is quite likely to
have reference count frozen to 0 when a migration entry is found).
This will fix a very rare anonymous memory leak, after a
split_huge_pmd() raced with an anon split_huge_page() or an anon THP
migrate_pages(): since the wrongly raised refcount stopped the page
(perhaps small, perhaps huge, depending on when the race hit) from ever
being freed.
At first I thought there were worse risks, from prematurely unfreezing a
frozen page: but now think that would only affect page cache pages,
which do not come this way (except for anonymous pages in swap cache,
perhaps).

When memory is tight, system may start to compact memory for large
continuous memory demands. If one process tries to lock a memory page
that is being locked and isolated for compaction, it may wait a long time
or even forever. This is because compaction will perform non-atomic
PG_Isolated clear while holding page lock, this may overwrite PG_waiters
set by the process that can't obtain the page lock and add itself to the
waiting queue to wait for the lock to be unlocked.
CPU1 CPU2
lock_page(page); (successful)
lock_page(); (failed)
__ClearPageIsolated(page); SetPageWaiters(page) (may be overwritten)
unlock_page(page);
The solution is to not perform non-atomic operation on page flags while
holding page lock.

In commit ac16ec8353 ("mm: migrate: support multiple target nodes
demotion"), after the first demotion target node is found, we will
continue to check the next candidate obtained via find_next_best_node().
This is to find all demotion target nodes with same NUMA distance. But
one side effect of find_next_best_node() is that the candidate node
returned will be set in "used" parameter, even if the candidate node isn't
passed in the following NUMA distance checking, the candidate node will
not be used as demotion target node for the following nodes. For example,
for system as follows,
node distances:
node 0 1 2 3
0: 10 21 17 28
1: 21 10 28 17
2: 17 28 10 28
3: 28 17 28 10
when we establish demotion target node for node 0, in the first round node
2 is added to the demotion target node set. Then in the second round,
node 3 is checked and failed because distance(0, 3) > distance(0, 2). But
node 3 is set in "used" nodemask too. When we establish demotion target
node for node 1, there is no available node. This is wrong, node 3 should
be set as the demotion target of node 1.
To fix this, if the candidate node is failed to pass the distance
checking, it will be cleared in "used" nodemask. So that it can be used
for the following node.
The bug can be reproduced and fixed with this patch on a 2 socket server
machine with DRAM and PMEM.

v2.6.34 commit 9d8cebd4bc ("mm: fix mbind vma merge problem") introduced
vma_merge() to mbind_range(); but unlike madvise, mlock and mprotect, it
put a "continue" to next vma where its precedents go to update flags on
current vma before advancing: that left vma with the wrong setting in the
infamous vma_merge() case 8.
v3.10 commit 1444f92c84 ("mm: merging memory blocks resets mempolicy")
tried to fix that in vma_adjust(), without fully understanding the issue.
v3.11 commit 3964acd0db ("mm: mempolicy: fix mbind_range() &&
vma_adjust() interaction") reverted that, and went about the fix in the
right way, but chose to optimize out an unnecessary mpol_dup() with a
prior mpol_equal() test. But on tmpfs, that also pessimized out the vital
call to its ->set_policy(), leaving the new mbind unenforced.
The user visible effect was that the pages got allocated on the local
node (happened to be 0), after the mbind() caller had specifically
asked for them to be allocated on node 1. There was not any page
migration involved in the case reported: the pages simply got allocated
on the wrong node.
Just delete that optimization now (though it could be made conditional on
vma not having a set_policy). Also remove the "next" variable: it turned
out to be blameless, but also pointless.

On systems that run FIFO:1 applications that busy loop, any SCHED_OTHER
task that attempts to execute on such a CPU (such as work threads) will
not be scheduled, which leads to system hangs.
Commit d479960e44 ("mm: disable LRU pagevec during the migration
temporarily") relies on queueing work items on all online CPUs to ensure
visibility of lru_disable_count.
To fix this, replace the usage of work items with synchronize_rcu,
which provides the same guarantees.
Readers of lru_disable_count are protected by either disabling
preemption or rcu_read_lock:
preempt_disable, local_irq_disable [bh_lru_lock()]
rcu_read_lock [rt_spin_lock CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT]
preempt_disable [local_lock !CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT]
Since v5.1 kernel, synchronize_rcu() is guaranteed to wait on
preempt_disable() regions of code. So any CPU which sees
lru_disable_count = 0 will have exited the critical section when
synchronize_rcu() returns.

Since commit 2c80cd57c7 ("mm/list_lru.c: fix list_lru_count_node() to
be race free"), we are tracking the total number of lru entries in a
list_lru_node in its nr_items field.
In the case of memcg_reparent_list_lru_node(), there is nothing to be
done if nr_items is 0. We don't even need to take the nlru->lock as no
new lru entry could be added by a racing list_lru_add() to the draining
src_idx memcg at this point.
On systems that serve a lot of containers, it is possible that there can
be thousands of list_lru's present due to the fact that each container
may mount its own container specific filesystems. As a typical
container uses only a few cpus, it is likely that only the list_lru_node
that contains those cpus will be utilized while the rests may be empty.
In other words, there can be a lot of list_lru_node with 0 nr_items.
By skipping a lock/unlock operation and loading a cacheline from
memcg_lrus, a sizeable number of cpu cycles can be saved. That can be
substantial if we are talking about thousands of list_lru_node's with 0
nr_items.

__isolate_lru_page_prepare() conflates two unrelated functions, with the
flags to one disjoint from the flags to the other; and hides some of the
important checks outside of isolate_migratepages_block(), where the
sequence is better to be visible. It comes from the days of lumpy
reclaim, before compaction, when the combination made more sense.
Move what's needed by mm/compaction.c isolate_migratepages_block() inline
there, and what's needed by mm/vmscan.c isolate_lru_pages() inline there.
Shorten "isolate_mode" to "mode", so the sequence of conditions is easier
to read. Declare a "mapping" variable, to save one call to page_mapping()
(but not another: calling again after page is locked is necessary).
Simplify isolate_lru_pages() with a "move_to" list pointer.

Userfaultfd is supposed to provide the full address (i.e., unmasked) of
the faulting access back to userspace. However, that is not the case for
quite some time.
Even running "userfaultfd_demo" from the userfaultfd man page provides the
wrong output (and contradicts the man page). Notice that
"UFFD_EVENT_PAGEFAULT event" shows the masked address (7fc5e30b3000) and
not the first read address (0x7fc5e30b300f).
Address returned by mmap() = 0x7fc5e30b3000
fault_handler_thread():
poll() returns: nready = 1; POLLIN = 1; POLLERR = 0
UFFD_EVENT_PAGEFAULT event: flags = 0; address = 7fc5e30b3000
(uffdio_copy.copy returned 4096)
Read address 0x7fc5e30b300f in main(): A
Read address 0x7fc5e30b340f in main(): A
Read address 0x7fc5e30b380f in main(): A
Read address 0x7fc5e30b3c0f in main(): A
The exact address is useful for various reasons and specifically for
prefetching decisions. If it is known that the memory is populated by
certain objects whose size is not page-aligned, then based on the faulting
address, the uffd-monitor can decide whether to prefetch and prefault the
adjacent page.
This bug has been for quite some time in the kernel: since commit
1a29d85eb0 ("mm: use vmf->address instead of of vmf->virtual_address")
vmf->virtual_address"), which dates back to 2016. A concern has been
raised that existing userspace application might rely on the old/wrong
behavior in which the address is masked. Therefore, it was suggested to
provide the masked address unless the user explicitly asks for the exact
address.
Add a new userfaultfd feature UFFD_FEATURE_EXACT_ADDRESS to direct
userfaultfd to provide the exact address. Add a new "real_address" field
to vmf to hold the unmasked address. Provide the address to userspace
accordingly.
Initialize real_address in various code-paths to be consistent with
address, even when it is not used, to be on the safe side.

The init_mm.page_table_lock is used to protect kernel page tables, we
can use it to serialize splitting vmemmap PMD mappings instead of mmap
write lock, which can increase the concurrency of vmemmap_remap_free().
Actually, It increase the concurrency between allocations of HugeTLB
pages. But it is not the only benefit. There are a lot of users of
mmap read lock of init_mm. The mmap write lock is holding through
vmemmap_remap_free(), removing mmap write lock usage to make it does not
affect other users of mmap read lock. It is not making anything worse
and always a win to move.
Now the kernel page table walker does not hold the page_table_lock when
walking pmd entries. There may be consistency issue of a pmd entry,
because pmd entry might change from a huge pmd entry to a PTE page
table. There is only one user of kernel page table walker, namely
ptdump. The ptdump already considers the consistency, which use a local
variable to cache the value of pmd entry. But we also need to update
->action to ACTION_CONTINUE to make sure the walker does not walk every
pte entry again when concurrent thread has split the huge pmd.

The page_fixed_fake_head() is used throughout memory management and the
conditional check requires checking a global variable, although the
overhead of this check may be small, it increases when the memory cache
comes under pressure. Also, the global variable will not be modified
after system boot, so it is very appropriate to use static key machanism.

Patch series "Free the 2nd vmemmap page associated with each HugeTLB
page", v7.
This series can minimize the overhead of struct page for 2MB HugeTLB
pages significantly. It further reduces the overhead of struct page by
12.5% for a 2MB HugeTLB compared to the previous approach, which means
2GB per 1TB HugeTLB. It is a nice gain. Comments and reviews are
welcome. Thanks.
The main implementation and details can refer to the commit log of patch
1. In this series, I have changed the following four helpers, the
following table shows the impact of the overhead of those helpers.
+------------------+-----------------------+
| APIs | head page | tail page |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
| PageHead() | Y | N |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
| PageTail() | Y | N |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
| PageCompound() | N | N |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
| compound_head() | Y | N |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
Y: Overhead is increased.
N: Overhead is _NOT_ increased.
It shows that the overhead of those helpers on a tail page don't change
between "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" and "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=off". But the
overhead on a head page will be increased when "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on"
(except PageCompound()). So I believe that Matthew Wilcox's folio series
will help with this.
The users of PageHead() and PageTail() are much less than compound_head()
and most users of PageTail() are VM_BUG_ON(), so I have done some tests
about the overhead of compound_head() on head pages.
I have tested the overhead of calling compound_head() on a head page,
which is 2.11ns (Measure the call time of 10 million times
compound_head(), and then average).
For a head page whose address is not aligned with PAGE_SIZE or a
non-compound page, the overhead of compound_head() is 2.54ns which is
increased by 20%. For a head page whose address is aligned with
PAGE_SIZE, the overhead of compound_head() is 2.97ns which is increased by
40%. Most pages are the former. I do not think the overhead is
significant since the overhead of compound_head() itself is low.
This patch (of 5):
This patch minimizes the overhead of struct page for 2MB HugeTLB pages
significantly. It further reduces the overhead of struct page by 12.5%
for a 2MB HugeTLB compared to the previous approach, which means 2GB per
1TB HugeTLB (2MB type).
After the feature of "Free sonme vmemmap pages of HugeTLB page" is
enabled, the mapping of the vmemmap addresses associated with a 2MB
HugeTLB page becomes the figure below.
HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages)
+-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+---> PG_head
| | | 0 | -------------> | 0 |
| | +-----------+ +-----------+
| | | 1 | -------------> | 1 |
| | +-----------+ +-----------+
| | | 2 | ----------------^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
| | +-----------+ | | | | |
| | | 3 | ------------------+ | | | |
| | +-----------+ | | | |
| | | 4 | --------------------+ | | |
| 2MB | +-----------+ | | |
| | | 5 | ----------------------+ | |
| | +-----------+ | |
| | | 6 | ------------------------+ |
| | +-----------+ |
| | | 7 | --------------------------+
| | +-----------+
| |
| |
| |
+-----------+
As we can see, the 2nd vmemmap page frame (indexed by 1) is reused and
remaped. However, the 2nd vmemmap page frame is also can be freed to
the buddy allocator, then we can change the mapping from the figure
above to the figure below.
HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages)
+-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+---> PG_head
| | | 0 | -------------> | 0 |
| | +-----------+ +-----------+
| | | 1 | ---------------^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

| | | 5 | -----------------------+ | |
| | +-----------+ | |
| | | 6 | -------------------------+ |
| | +-----------+ |
| | | 7 | ---------------------------+
| | +-----------+
| |
| |
| |
+-----------+
After we do this, all tail vmemmap pages (1-7) are mapped to the head
vmemmap page frame (0). In other words, there are more than one page
struct with PG_head associated with each HugeTLB page. We __know__ that
there is only one head page struct, the tail page structs with PG_head are
fake head page structs. We need an approach to distinguish between those
two different types of page structs so that compound_head(), PageHead()
and PageTail() can work properly if the parameter is the tail page struct
but with PG_head.
The following code snippet describes how to distinguish between real and
fake head page struct.
if (test_bit(PG_head, &page->flags)) {
unsigned long head = READ_ONCE(page[1].compound_head);
if (head & 1) {
if (head == (unsigned long)page + 1)
==> head page struct
else
==> tail page struct
} else
==> head page struct
}
We can safely access the field of the @page[1] with PG_head because the
@page is a compound page composed with at least two contiguous pages.

We can not really handle non-LRU movable pages in memory failure.
Typically they are balloon, zsmalloc, etc.
Assuming we run into a base (4K) non-LRU movable page, we could reach as
far as identify_page_state(), it should not fall into any category
except me_unknown.
For the non-LRU compound movable pages, they could be taken for
transhuge pages but it's unexpected to split non-LRU movable pages using
split_huge_page_to_list in memory_failure. So we could just simply make
non-LRU movable pages unhandlable to avoid these possible nasty cases.

Patch series "A few fixup patches for memory failure", v2.
This series contains a few patches to fix the race with changing page
compound page, make non-LRU movable pages unhandlable and so on. More
details can be found in the respective changelogs.
There is a race window where we got the compound_head, the hugetlb page
could be freed to buddy, or even changed to another compound page just
before we try to get hwpoison page. Think about the below race window:
CPU 1 CPU 2
memory_failure_hugetlb
struct page *head = compound_head(p);
hugetlb page might be freed to
buddy, or even changed to another
compound page.
get_hwpoison_page -- page is not what we want now...
If this race happens, just bail out. Also MF_MSG_DIFFERENT_PAGE_SIZE is
introduced to record this event.

When the hwpoison page meets the filter conditions, it should not be
regarded as successful memory_failure() processing for mce handler, but
should return a distinct value, otherwise mce handler regards the error
page has been identified and isolated, which may lead to calling
set_mce_nospec() to change page attribute, etc.
Here memory_failure() return -EOPNOTSUPP to indicate that the error
event is filtered, mce handler should not take any action for this
situation and hwpoison injector should treat as correct.

Sometimes the page offlining code can leave behind a hwpoisoned clean
page cache page. This can lead to programs being killed over and over
and over again as they fault in the hwpoisoned page, get killed, and
then get re-spawned by whatever wanted to run them.
This is particularly embarrassing when the page was offlined due to
having too many corrected memory errors. Now we are killing tasks due
to them trying to access memory that probably isn't even corrupted.
This problem can be avoided by invalidating the page from the page fault
handler, which already has a branch for dealing with these kinds of
pages. With this patch we simply pretend the page fault was successful
if the page was invalidated, return to userspace, incur another page
fault, read in the file from disk (to a new memory page), and then
everything works again.

When an uncorrected memory error is consumed there is a race between the
CMCI from the memory controller reporting an uncorrected error with a
UCNA signature, and the core reporting and SRAR signature machine check
when the data is about to be consumed.
If the CMCI wins that race, the page is marked poisoned when
uc_decode_notifier() calls memory_failure() and the machine check
processing code finds the page already poisoned. It calls
kill_accessing_process() to make sure a SIGBUS is sent. But returns the
wrong error code.
Console log looks like this:
mce: Uncorrected hardware memory error in user-access at 3710b3400
Memory failure: 0x3710b3: recovery action for dirty LRU page: Recovered
Memory failure: 0x3710b3: already hardware poisoned
Memory failure: 0x3710b3: Sending SIGBUS to einj_mem_uc:361438 due to hardware memory corruption
mce: Memory error not recovered
kill_accessing_process() is supposed to return -EHWPOISON to notify that
SIGBUS is already set to the process and kill_me_maybe() doesn't have to
send it again. But current code simply fails to do this, so fix it to
make sure to work as intended. This change avoids the noise message
"Memory error not recovered" and skips duplicate SIGBUSs.

For high order pages not using pcp, rmqueue() is currently calling the
costly check_new_pages() while zone spinlock is held, and hard irqs

This is not needed, we can release the spinlock sooner to reduce zone
spinlock contention.
Note that after this patch, we call __mod_zone_freepage_state() before

When page allocation in direct reclaim path fails, the system will make
one attempt to shrink per-cpu page lists and free pages from high alloc
reserves. Draining per-cpu pages into buddy allocator can be a very
slow operation because it's done using workqueues and the task in direct
reclaim waits for all of them to finish before proceeding. Currently
this time is not accounted as psi memory stall.
While testing mobile devices under extreme memory pressure, when
allocations are failing during direct reclaim, we notices that psi
events which would be expected in such conditions were not triggered.
After profiling these cases it was determined that the reason for
missing psi events was that a big chunk of time spent in direct reclaim
is not accounted as memory stall, therefore psi would not reach the
levels at which an event is generated. Further investigation revealed
that the bulk of that unaccounted time was spent inside drain_all_pages
call.
A typical captured case when drain_all_pages path gets activated:
__alloc_pages_slowpath took 44.644.613ns
__perform_reclaim took 751.668ns (1.7%)
drain_all_pages took 43.887.167ns (98.3%)
PSI in this case records the time spent in __perform_reclaim but ignores
drain_all_pages, IOW it misses 98.3% of the time spent in
__alloc_pages_slowpath.
Annotate __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim in its entirety so that delays
from handling page allocation failure in the direct reclaim path are
accounted as memory stall.

On x86, prior to ("mm: handle uninitialized numa nodes gracecully"), NUMA
nodes could be allocated at three different places.
- numa_register_memblks
- init_cpu_to_node
- init_gi_nodes
All these calls happen at setup_arch, and have the following order:
setup_arch
...
x86_numa_init
numa_init
numa_register_memblks
...
init_cpu_to_node
init_memory_less_node
alloc_node_data
free_area_init_memoryless_node
init_gi_nodes
init_memory_less_node
alloc_node_data
free_area_init_memoryless_node
numa_register_memblks() is only interested in those nodes which have
memory, so it skips over any memoryless node it founds. Later on, when
we have read ACPI's SRAT table, we call init_cpu_to_node() and
init_gi_nodes(), which initialize any memoryless node we might have that
have either CPU or Initiator affinity, meaning we allocate pg_data_t
struct for them and we mark them as ONLINE.
So far so good, but the thing is that after ("mm: handle uninitialized
numa nodes gracefully"), we allocate all possible NUMA nodes in
free_area_init(), meaning we have a picture like the following:
setup_arch
x86_numa_init
numa_init
numa_register_memblks <-- allocate non-memoryless node
x86_init.paging.pagetable_init
...
free_area_init
free_area_init_memoryless <-- allocate memoryless node
init_cpu_to_node
alloc_node_data <-- allocate memoryless node with CPU
free_area_init_memoryless_node
init_gi_nodes
alloc_node_data <-- allocate memoryless node with Initiator
free_area_init_memoryless_node
free_area_init() already allocates all possible NUMA nodes, but
init_cpu_to_node() and init_gi_nodes() are clueless about that, so they
go ahead and allocate a new pg_data_t struct without checking anything,
meaning we end up allocating twice.
It should be mad clear that this only happens in the case where
memoryless NUMA node happens to have a CPU/Initiator affinity.
So get rid of init_memory_less_node() and just set the node online.
Note that setting the node online is needed, otherwise we choke down the
chain when bringup_nonboot_cpus() ends up calling
__try_online_node()->register_one_node()->... and we blow up in
bus_add_device(). As can be seen here:

The reason is simple, by the time bringup_nonboot_cpus() gets called, we
did not register the node_subsys bus yet, so we crash when
bus_add_device() tries to dereference bus()->p.
The following shows the order of the calls:
kernel_init_freeable
smp_init
bringup_nonboot_cpus
...
bus_add_device() <- we did not register node_subsys yet
do_basic_setup
do_initcalls
postcore_initcall(register_node_type);
register_node_type
subsys_system_register
subsys_register
bus_register <- register node_subsys bus
Why setting the node online saves us then? Well, simply because
__try_online_node() backs off when the node is online, meaning we do not
end up calling register_one_node() in the first place.
This is subtle, broken and deserves a deep analysis and thought about
how to put this into shape, but for now let us have this easy fix for
the leaking memory issue.

free_pcppages_bulk() has taken two passes through the pcp lists since
commit 0a5f4e5b45 ("mm/free_pcppages_bulk: do not hold lock when
picking pages to free") due to deferring the cost of selecting PCP lists
until the zone lock is held.
As the list processing now takes place under the zone lock, it's less
clear that this will always benefit for two reasons.
1. There is a guaranteed cost to calculating the buddy which definitely
has to be calculated again. However, as the zone lock is held and
there is no deferring of buddy merging, there is no guarantee that the
prefetch will have completed when the second buddy calculation takes
place and buddies are being merged. With or without the prefetch, there
may be further stalls depending on how many pages get merged. In other
words, a stall due to merging is inevitable and at best only one stall
might be avoided at the cost of calculating the buddy location twice.
2. As the zone lock is held, prefetch_nr makes less sense as once
prefetch_nr expires, the cache lines of interest have already been
merged.
The main concern is that there is a definite cost to calculating the
buddy location early for the prefetch and it is a "maybe win" depending
on whether the CPU prefetch logic and memory is fast enough. Remove the
prefetch logic on the basis that reduced instructions in a path is
always a saving where as the prefetch might save one memory stall
depending on the CPU and memory.
In most cases, this has marginal benefit as the calculations are a small
part of the overall freeing of pages. However, it was detectable on at
least one machine.

When a PCP is mostly used for frees then high-order pages can exist on
PCP lists for some time. This is problematic when the allocation
pattern is all allocations from one CPU and all frees from another
resulting in colder pages being used. When bulk freeing pages, limit
the number of high-order pages that are stored on the PCP lists.
Netperf running on localhost exhibits this pattern and while it does not
matter for some machines, it does matter for others with smaller caches
where cache misses cause problems due to reduced page reuse. Pages
freed directly to the buddy list may be reused quickly while still cache
hot where as storing on the PCP lists may be cold by the time
free_pcppages_bulk() is called.
Using perf kmem:mm_page_alloc, the 5 most used page frames were

The spread is wider as there is still time before pages freed to one PCP
get released with a tradeoff between fast reuse and reduced zone lock
acquisition.
On the machine used to gather the traces, the headline performance was
equivalent.

Note that this was a machine that did not benefit from caching high-order
pages and performance is almost restored with the series applied. It's
not fully restored as cache misses are still higher. This is a trade-off
between optimising for a workload that does all allocs on one CPU and
frees on another or more general workloads that need high-order pages for
SLUB and benefit from avoiding zone->lock for every SLUB refill/drain.

Prior to the series, pindex 0 (order-0 MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE) was always
skipped first and the precise reason is forgotten. A potential reason
may have been to artificially preserve MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE but there is no
reason why that would be optimal as it depends on the workload. The
more likely reason is that it was less complicated to do a pre-increment
instead of a post-increment in terms of overall code flow. As
free_pcppages_bulk() now typically receives the pindex of the PCP list
that exceeded high, always start draining that list.

uneven freeing is inevitable due to high pages. Simplify list selection
by starting with a list that definitely has pages on it in
free_unref_page_commit() and for drain, it does not matter where
draining starts as all pages are removed.
