Patch series "fs/buffer: remove ll_rw_block()", v2.
ll_rw_block() will skip locked buffer before submitting IO, it assumes
that locked buffer means it is under IO. This assumption is not always
true because we cannot guarantee every buffer lock path would submit IO.
After commit 88dbcbb3a484 ("blkdev: avoid migration stalls for blkdev
pages"), buffer_migrate_folio_norefs() becomes one exceptional case, and
there may be others. So ll_rw_block() is not safe on the sync read path,
we could get false positive EIO return value when filesystem reading
metadata. It seems that it could be only used on the readahead path.
Unfortunately, many filesystem misuse the ll_rw_block() on the sync read
path. This patch set just remove ll_rw_block() and add new friendly
helpers, which could prevent false positive EIO on the read metadata path.
Thanks for the suggestion from Jan, the original discussion is at [1].
patch 1: remove unused helpers in fs/buffer.c
patch 2: add new bh_read_[*] helpers
patch 3-11: remove all ll_rw_block() calls in filesystems
patch 12-14: do some leftover cleanups.
[1]. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20220825080146.2021641-1-chengzhihao1@huawei.com/
This patch (of 14):
No one use __breadahead_gfp() and sb_breadahead_unmovable() any more,
remove them.

region accesses
The damon regions that belong to the same damon target have the same
'struct mm_struct *mm', so it's unnecessary to compare the mm and last_mm
objects among the damon regions in one damon target when checking
accesses. But the check is necessary when the target changed in
'__damon_va_check_accesses()', so we can simplify the whole operation by
using the bool 'same_target' to indicate whether the target changed.

filemap_get_folios_contig()
Convert to use folios throughout. This is in preparation for the removal
for find_get_pages_contig(). Now also supports large folios.
The initial version of this function set the page_address to be returned
after finishing all the checks. Since folio_batches have a maximum of 15
folios, the function had to be modified to support getting and checking up
to lpages, 15 pages at a time while still returning the initial page
address. Now the function sets ret as soon as the first batch arrives,
and updates it only if a check fails.
The physical adjacency check utilizes the page frame numbers. The page
frame number of each folio must be nr_pages away from the first folio.

Converted function to use folios throughout. This is in preparation for

Since we may receive more than nr_pages pages, nr_pages may underflow.
Since nr_pages > 0 is equivalent to index <= end_index, we replaced it
with this check instead.
Also minor comment renaming for consistency in subpage.

Patch series "Convert to filemap_get_folios_contig()", v3.
This patch series replaces find_get_pages_contig() with
filemap_get_folios_contig().
This patch (of 7):
This function is meant to replace find_get_pages_contig().
Unlike find_get_pages_contig(), filemap_get_folios_contig() no longer
takes in a target number of pages to find - It returns up to 15 contiguous
folios.
To be more consistent with filemap_get_folios(),
filemap_get_folios_contig() now also updates the start index passed in,
and takes an end index.

It doesn't make sense for us to retry to compress an uncompressible page
(comp_len == PAGE_SIZE) in zsmalloc slowpath, because we will be storing
it uncompressed anyway. We can avoid wasting time on another compression
attempt. It is enough to take lock (zcomp_stream_get) and execute the

In commit 2f1ee0913ce5 ("Revert "mm: use early_pfn_to_nid in
page_ext_init""), we call page_ext_init() after page_alloc_init_late() to
avoid some panic problem. It seems that we cannot track early page
allocations in current kernel even if page structure has been initialized
early.
This patch introduces a new boot parameter 'early_page_ext' to resolve
this problem. If we pass it to the kernel, page_ext_init() will be moved
up and the feature 'deferred initialization of struct pages' will be
disabled to initialize the page allocator early and prevent the panic
problem above. It can help us to catch early page allocations. This is
useful especially when we find that the free memory value is not the same
right after different kernel booting.

When pud-sized hugepages were introduced for s390, the generic version of
follow_huge_pud() was using pte_page() instead of pud_page(). This would
be wrong for s390, see also commit 97534127012f ("mm/hugetlb: use
pmd_page() in follow_huge_pmd()"). Therefore, and probably because not
all archs were supporting pud_page() at that time, a private version of
follow_huge_pud() was added for s390, correctly using pud_page().
Since commit 3a194f3f8ad01 ("mm/hugetlb: make pud_huge() and
follow_huge_pud() aware of non-present pud entry"), the generic version of
follow_huge_pud() is now also using pud_page(), and in general behaves
similar to follow_huge_pmd().
Therefore we can now switch to the generic version and get rid of the
s390-specific follow_huge_pud().

For several years, MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH was kept at 32 but with bigger
machines and the network intensive workloads requiring througput in Gbps,
32 is too small and makes the memcg charging path a bottleneck. For now,
increase it to 64 for easy acceptance to 6.0. We will need to revisit
this in future for ever increasing demand of higher performance.
Please note that the memcg charge path drain the per-cpu memcg charge
stock, so there should not be any oom behavior change. Though it does
have impact on rstat flushing and high limit reclaim backoff.
To evaluate the impact of this optimization, on a 72 CPUs machine, we
ran the following workload in a three level of cgroup hierarchy.
$ netserver -6
# 36 instances of netperf with following params
$ netperf -6 -H ::1 -l 60 -t TCP_SENDFILE -- -m 10K
Results (average throughput of netperf):
Without (6.0-rc1) 10482.7 Mbps
With patch 17064.7 Mbps (62.7% improvement)
With the patch, the throughput improved by 62.7%.

With memcg v2 enabled, memcg->memory.usage is a very hot member for the
workloads doing memcg charging on multiple CPUs concurrently.
Particularly the network intensive workloads. In addition, there is a
false cache sharing between memory.usage and memory.high on the charge
path. This patch moves the usage into a separate cacheline and move all
the read most fields into separate cacheline.
To evaluate the impact of this optimization, on a 72 CPUs machine, we ran
the following workload in a three level of cgroup hierarchy.

With patch 12413.7 Mbps (18.4% improvement)
With the patch, the throughput improved by 18.4%.
One side-effect of this patch is the increase in the size of struct
mem_cgroup. For example with this patch on 64 bit build, the size of
struct mem_cgroup increased from 4032 bytes to 4416 bytes. However for
the performance improvement, this additional size is worth it. In
addition there are opportunities to reduce the size of struct mem_cgroup
like deprecation of kmem and tcpmem page counters and better packing.

Patch series "memcg: optimize charge codepath", v2.
Recently Linux networking stack has moved from a very old per socket
pre-charge caching to per-cpu caching to avoid pre-charge fragmentation
and unwarranted OOMs. One impact of this change is that for network
traffic workloads, memcg charging codepath can become a bottleneck. The
kernel test robot has also reported this regression[1]. This patch series
tries to improve the memcg charging for such workloads.
This patch series implement three optimizations:
(A) Reduce atomic ops in page counter update path.
(B) Change layout of struct page_counter to eliminate false sharing
between usage and high.
(C) Increase the memcg charge batch to 64.
To evaluate the impact of these optimizations, on a 72 CPUs machine, we
ran the following workload in root memcg and then compared with scenario
where the workload is run in a three level of cgroup hierarchy with top
level having min and low setup appropriately.
$ netserver -6
# 36 instances of netperf with following params
$ netperf -6 -H ::1 -l 60 -t TCP_SENDFILE -- -m 10K
Results (average throughput of netperf):
1. root memcg 21694.8 Mbps
2. 6.0-rc1 10482.7 Mbps (-51.6%)
3. 6.0-rc1 + (A) 14542.5 Mbps (-32.9%)
4. 6.0-rc1 + (B) 12413.7 Mbps (-42.7%)
5. 6.0-rc1 + (C) 17063.7 Mbps (-21.3%)
6. 6.0-rc1 + (A+B+C) 20120.3 Mbps (-7.2%)
With all three optimizations, the memcg overhead of this workload has
been reduced from 51.6% to just 7.2%.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20220619150456.GB34471@xsang-OptiPlex-9020/
This patch (of 3):
For cgroups using low or min protections, the function
propagate_protected_usage() was doing an atomic xchg() operation
irrespectively. We can optimize out this atomic operation for one
specific scenario where the workload is using the protection (i.e. min >
0) and the usage is above the protection (i.e. usage > min).
This scenario is actually very common where the users want a part of their
workload to be protected against the external reclaim. Though this
optimization does introduce a race when the usage is around the protection
and concurrent charges and uncharged trip it over or under the protection.
In such cases, we might see lower effective protection but the subsequent
charge/uncharge will correct it.
To evaluate the impact of this optimization, on a 72 CPUs machine, we ran
the following workload in a three level of cgroup hierarchy with top level
having min and low setup appropriately to see if this optimization is
effective for the mentioned case.
$ netserver -6
# 36 instances of netperf with following params
$ netperf -6 -H ::1 -l 60 -t TCP_SENDFILE -- -m 10K
Results (average throughput of netperf):
Without (6.0-rc1) 10482.7 Mbps
With patch 14542.5 Mbps (38.7% improvement)
With the patch, the throughput improved by 38.7%

reset
We do all reset operations under write lock, so we don't need to save
->disksize and ->comp to stack variables. Another thing is that ->comp is
freed during zram reset, but comp pointer is not NULL-ed, so zram keeps
the freed pointer value.

When pinning pages with FOLL_LONGTERM check_and_migrate_movable_pages() is
called to migrate pages out of zones which should not contain any longterm
pinned pages.
When migration succeeds all pages will have been unpinned so pinning needs
to be retried. Migration can also fail, in which case the pages will also
have been unpinned but the operation should not be retried. If all pages
are in the correct zone nothing will be unpinned and no retry is required.
The logic in check_and_migrate_movable_pages() tracks unnecessary state
and the return codes for each case are difficult to follow. Refactor the
code to clean this up. No behaviour change is intended.

gup_flags is passed to check_and_migrate_movable_pages() so that it can
call either put_page() or unpin_user_page() to drop the page reference.
However check_and_migrate_movable_pages() is only called for
FOLL_LONGTERM, which implies FOLL_PIN so there is no need to pass
gup_flags.

In page_counter_set_max, we want to make sure the new limit is not below
the concurrently-changing counter value. We read the counter and check
that the limit is not below the counter before the swap. After the swap,
we read the counter again and retry in case the counter is incremented as
this may violate the requirement. Even though the page_counter_try_charge
can see the old limit, it is guaranteed that the counter is not above the
old limit after the increment. So in case the new limit is not below the
old limit, the counter is guaranteed to be not above the new limit too.
We can skip the retry in this case to optimize a little bit.

pmd_huge() is usually used to indicate a pmd level hugetlb. However a pmd
mapped huge page can only be THP in damon_mkold_pmd_entry() or
damon_young_pmd_entry(), so replace pmd_huge() with pmd_trans_huge() in
this case to make the code more readable according to the discussion [1].

pmd_huge() is used to validate if the pmd entry is mapped by a huge page,
also including the case of non-present (migration or hwpoisoned) pmd entry
on arm64 or x86 architectures. This means that pmd_pfn() can not get the
correct pfn number for a non-present pmd entry, which will cause
damon_get_page() to get an incorrect page struct (also may be NULL by
pfn_to_online_page()), making the access statistics incorrect.
This means that the DAMON may make incorrect decision according to the
incorrect statistics, for example, DAMON may can not reclaim cold page
in time due to this cold page was regarded as accessed mistakenly if
DAMOS_PAGEOUT operation is specified.
Moreover it does not make sense that we still waste time to get the page
of the non-present entry. Just treat it as not-accessed and skip it,
which maintains consistency with non-present pte level entries.
So add pmd entry present validation to fix the above issues.

If there is private data attached to a THP, the refcount of THP will be
increased and will prevent the THP from being split. Attempt to release
any private data attached to the THP before attempting the split to
increase the chance of splitting successfully.
There was a memory failure issue hit during HW error injection testing
with 5.18 kernel + xfs as rootfs. The test was killed and a system reboot
was required to re-run the test.
The issue was tracked down to a THP split failure caused by the memory
failure not being handled. The page dump showed:

It was like the error was injected to a large folio for xfs with private
data attached.
With private data released before splitting the THP, the test case could
be run successfully many times without rebooting the system.

When the pgtable is NULL in the set_huge_zero_page(), we should not
increment the count of PTE page table pages by calling mm_inc_nr_ptes().
Otherwise we may receive the following warning when the mm exits:
BUG: non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm
Now we can't observe the above warning since only
do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page() invokes set_huge_zero_page() and the pgtable
can not be NULL.
Therefore, instead of moving mm_inc_nr_ptes() to the non-NULL branch of
pgtable, it is better to remove the redundant pgtable check directly.

c) Check for the PAGE_EXT
flags in the page_ext->flags
access results into the
use-after-free (leading to
the translation faults).
As mentioned above, there is really no synchronization between page_ext
access and its freeing in the memory_offline.
The memory offline steps(roughly) on a memory block is as below:
1) Isolate all the pages
2) while(1)
try free the pages to buddy.(->free_list[MIGRATE_ISOLATE])
3) delete the pages from this buddy list.
4) Then free page_ext.(Note: The struct page is still alive as it is
freed only during hot remove of the memory which frees the memmap,
which steps the user might not perform).
This design leads to the state where struct page is alive but the struct
page_ext is freed, where the later is ideally part of the former which
just representing the page_flags (check [3] for why this design is
chosen).
The abovementioned race is just one example __but the problem persists in
the other paths too involving page_ext->flags access(eg:
page_is_idle())__.
Fix all the paths where offline races with page_ext access by maintaining
synchronization with rcu lock and is achieved in 3 steps:
1) Invalidate all the page_ext's of the sections of a memory block by
storing a flag in the LSB of mem_section->page_ext.
2) Wait until all the existing readers to finish working with the
->page_ext's with synchronize_rcu(). Any parallel process that starts
after this call will not get page_ext, through lookup_page_ext(), for
the block parallel offline operation is being performed.
3) Now safely free all sections ->page_ext's of the block on which
offline operation is being performed.
Note: If synchronize_rcu() takes time then optimizations can be done in
this path through call_rcu()[2].

If the pages being mapped are in HIGHMEM, page_address() returns NULL.
This probably wasn't noticed before because there aren't currently any
architectures with HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMALLOC and HIGHMEM, but it's simpler to
call page_to_phys() and futureproofs us against such configurations
existing.
