Convert directly from a pmd to a folio without going through another
representation first. For now this is just a slightly shorter way to
write it, but it might end up being more efficient later.

This is the folio equivalent of is_huge_zero_page(). It doesn't add any
efficiency, but it does prevent the caller from passing a tail page and
getting confused when the predicate returns false.

Patch series "Convert huge_zero_page to huge_zero_folio".
Almost all the callers of is_huge_zero_page() already have a folio. And
they should -- is_huge_zero_page() will return false for tail pages, even
if they're tail pages of the huge zero page. That's confusing, and one of
the benefits of the folio conversion is to get rid of this confusion.
This patch (of 8):
There's no need to convert to a page, much less a folio. We can tell from
the pmd whether it is a huge zero page or not. Saves 60 bytes of text.

Very deep RB tree requires rebalance at times. That contributes to the
zswap fault latencies. Xarray does not need to perform tree rebalance.
Replacing RB tree to xarray can have some small performance gain.
One small difference is that xarray insert might fail with ENOMEM, while
RB tree insert does not allocate additional memory.
The zswap_entry size will reduce a bit due to removing the RB node, which
has two pointers and a color field. Xarray store the pointer in the
xarray tree rather than the zswap_entry. Every entry has one pointer from
the xarray tree. Overall, switching to xarray should save some memory, if
the swap entries are densely packed.
Notice the zswap_rb_search and zswap_rb_insert often followed by
zswap_rb_erase. Use xa_erase and xa_store directly. That saves one tree
lookup as well.
Remove zswap_invalidate_entry due to no need to call zswap_rb_erase any
more. Use zswap_free_entry instead.
The "struct zswap_tree" has been replaced by "struct xarray". The tree
spin lock has transferred to the xarray lock.

Earlier, in commit 1dd214b8f21c ("mm: page_alloc: avoid merging
non-fallbackable pageblocks with others"), migrate type MIGRATE_CMA and
MIGRATE_ISOLATE are removed from fallbacks list since they are never used.
Later on, in commit ("aa02d3c174ab mm/page_alloc: reduce fallbacks to
(MIGRATE_PCPTYPES - 1)"), the array column size is reduced to
'MIGRATE_PCPTYPES - 1'. In fact, the array row size need be reduced to
MIGRATE_PCPTYPES too since it's only covering rows of the number
MIGRATE_PCPTYPES. Even though the current code has handled cases
when the migratetype is CMA, HIGHATOMIC and MEMORY_ISOLATION, making
the row size right is still good to avoid future error and confusion.

empty zone
On one node, for lower zone's ->lowmem_reserve[], it will show how much
memory is reserved in this lower zone to avoid excessive page allocation
from the relevant higher zone's fallback allocation.
However, currently lower zone's lowmem_reserve[] element will be filled
even though the relevant higher zone is empty. That doesnt' make sense
and can cause confusion.
E.g on node 0 of one system as below, it has zone
DMA/DMA32/NORMAL/MOVABLE/DEVICE, among them zone MOVABLE/DEVICE are the
highest and both are empty. In zone DMA/DMA32's protection array, we can
see that it has value for zone MOVABLE and DEVICE.

Because memory-less node's ->node_present_pages and its zone's
->present_pages are all 0, the judgement before calling node_set_state()
to set N_MEMORY, N_HIGH_MEMORY, N_NORMAL_MEMORY for node is enough to skip
memory-less node. The 'continue;' statement inside for_each_node() loop
of free_area_init() is gilding the lily.
Here, remove the special handling to make memory-less node share the same
code flow as normal node.
And also rephrase the code comments above the 'continue' statement
and move them above above line 'if (pgdat->node_present_pages)'.

Patch series "mm/init: minor clean up and improvement".
These are all observed when going through code flow during mm init.
This patch (of 7):
When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME is enabled, mem_section need be initialized
to point at a two-dimensional array, and its 1st dimension of length
NR_SECTION_ROOTS will be dynamically allocated. Once the allocation is
done, it's available for all nodes.
So take the 1st dimension of mem_section initialization out of
memory_present()(), and put it into memblocks_present() which is a more
appripriate place.

to th current_obj_cgroup() marked __always_inline. It might be faster to
make a single call to the hook in mm/memcontrol.c instead. The hooks also
don't use almost anything from mm/slub.c. obj_full_size() can move with

Patch series "memcg_kmem hooks refactoring", v3.
This patch (of 2):
The MEMCG_KMEM integration with slab currently relies on two hooks during
allocation. memcg_slab_pre_alloc_hook() determines the objcg and charges
it, and memcg_slab_post_alloc_hook() assigns the objcg pointer to the
allocated object(s).
As Linus pointed out, this is unnecessarily complex. Failing to charge
due to memcg limits should be rare, so we can optimistically allocate the
object(s) and do the charging together with assigning the objcg pointer in
a single post_alloc hook. In the rare case the charging fails, we can
free the object(s) back.
This simplifies the code (no need to pass around the objcg pointer) and
potentially allows to separate charging from allocation in cases where
it's common that the allocation would be immediately freed, and the memcg
handling overhead could be saved.

Reduce the usage of PageFlag tests and reduce the number of
compound_head() calls.
For multi-page folios, we'll now show all pages as having the flags that
apply to them, e.g. if it's dirty, all pages will have the dirty flag set
instead of just the head page. The mapped flag is still per page, as is
the hwpoison flag.

Patch series "Various page->flags cleanups".
The first two patches are bug fixes, although I'm not sure that either
architecture will have noticed. There aren't a lot of uses of page->flags
left! The big build-up here is to reworking stable_page_flags(), which
will definitely be a user-visible change. I think a welcome one, given
the special case we had to spread the Slab flag into all tail pages.
This patch (of 10):
Since switching to the new page table range API, we do not set the
PG_arch_1 (aka dcache clean) flag on tail pages, only on the folio. Test
it on the folio. Also use page_mapped() instead of page_mapcount() as it
is more efficient.

gup_fast_folio_allowed()
folio_is_secretmem() is currently only used during GUP-fast. Nowadays,
folio_fast_pin_allowed() performs similar checks during GUP-fast and
contains a lot of careful handling -- READ_ONCE() -- , sanity checks --
lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled() -- and helpful comments on how this
handling is safe and correct.
So let's merge folio_is_secretmem() into folio_fast_pin_allowed(). Rename
folio_fast_pin_allowed() to gup_fast_folio_allowed(), to better match the
new semantics.

Let's add a simple reproducer for a scenario where GUP-fast could succeed
on secretmem folios, making vmsplice() succeed instead of failing. The
reproducer is based on a reproducer [1] by Miklos Szeredi.
We want to perform two tests: vmsplice() when a fresh page was just
faulted in, and vmsplice() on an existing page after munmap() that would
drain certain LRU caches/batches in the kernel.
In an ideal world, we could use fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) /
MADV_REMOVE to remove any existing page. As that is currently not
possible, run the test before any other tests that would allocate memory
in the secretmem fd.
Perform the ftruncate() only once, and check the return value.

Patch series "remove follow_pfn".
This series open codes follow_pfn in the only remaining caller, although
the code there remains questionable. It then also moves follow_phys into
the only user and simplifies it a bit.
This patch (of 3):
Switch from follow_pfn to follow_pte so that we can get rid of follow_pfn.
Note that this doesn't fix any of the pre-existing raciness and lack of
permission checking in the code.

There are two types of iterators mas and vmi in the current code. If the
maple tree comes from the mm structure, we can use the vma iterator.
Avoid using mas directly as possible.
Keep using mas for the mt_detach tree, since it doesn't come from the mm
structure.
Remove as many uses of mas as possible, but we will still have a few that
must be passed through in unmap_vmas() and free_pgtables().
Also introduce vma_iter_reset, vma_iter_{prev, next}_range_limit and
vma_iter_area_{lowest, highest} helper functions for using the vma
interator.

free_area_init_core()
Currently, in free_area_init_core(), when initialize zone's field, a rough
value is set to zone->managed_pages. That value is calculated by
(zone->present_pages - memmap_pages).
In the meantime, add the value to nr_all_pages and nr_kernel_pages which
represent all free pages of system (only low memory or including HIGHMEM
memory separately). Both of them are gonna be used in
alloc_large_system_hash().
However, the rough calculation and setting of zone->managed_pages is
meaningless because
a) memmap pages are allocated on units of node in sparse_init() or
alloc_node_mem_map(pgdat); The simple (zone->present_pages -
memmap_pages) is too rough to make sense for zone;
b) the set zone->managed_pages will be zeroed out and reset with
acutal value in mem_init() via memblock_free_all(). Before the
resetting, no buddy allocation request is issued.
Here, remove the meaningless and complicated calculation of
(zone->present_pages - memmap_pages), directly set zone->managed_pages as
zone->present_pages for now. It will be adjusted in mem_init().
And also remove the assignment of nr_all_pages and nr_kernel_pages in
free_area_init_core(). Instead, call the newly added
calc_nr_kernel_pages() to count up all free but not reserved memory in
memblock and assign to nr_all_pages and nr_kernel_pages. The counting
excludes memmap_pages, and other kernel used data, which is more accurate
than old way and simpler, and can also cover the ppc required
arch_reserved_kernel_pages() case.
And also clean up the outdated code comment above free_area_init_core().
And free_area_init_core() is easy to understand now, no need to add words
to explain.

Patch series "mm/mm_init.c: refactor free_area_init_core()".
In function free_area_init_core(), the code calculating
zone->managed_pages and the subtracting dma_reserve from DMA zone looks
very confusing.
From git history, the code calculating zone->managed_pages was for
zone->present_pages originally. The early rough assignment is for
optimize zone's pcp and water mark setting. Later, managed_pages was
introduced into zone to represent the number of managed pages by buddy.
Now, zone->managed_pages is zeroed out and reset in mem_init() when
calling memblock_free_all(). zone's pcp and wmark setting relying on
actual zone->managed_pages are done later than mem_init() invocation. So
we don't need rush to early calculate and set zone->managed_pages, just
set it as zone->present_pages, will adjust it in mem_init().
And also add a new function calc_nr_kernel_pages() to count up free but
not reserved pages in memblock, then assign it to nr_all_pages and
nr_kernel_pages after memmap pages are allocated.
This patch (of 6):
Variable dma_reserve and its usage was introduced in commit 0e0b864e069c
("[PATCH] Account for memmap and optionally the kernel image as holes").
Its original purpose was to accounting for the reserved pages in DMA zone
to make DMA zone's watermarks calculation more accurate on x86.
However, currently there's zone->managed_pages to account for all
available pages for buddy, zone->present_pages to account for all present
physical pages in zone. What is more important, on x86, calculating and
setting the zone->managed_pages is a temporary move, all zone's
managed_pages will be zeroed out and reset to the actual value according
to how many pages are added to buddy allocator in mem_init(). Before
mem_init(), no buddy alloction is requested. And zone's pcp and watermark
setting are all done after mem_init(). So, no need to worry about the DMA
zone's setting accuracy during free_area_init().
Hence, remove memblock_find_dma_reserve() to stop calculating and
setting dma_reserve.

Instead of doing multiple tree walks, do one optimism range check with
lock hold, and exit if raced with another insertion. If a shadow exists,
check it with a new xas_get_order helper before releasing the lock to
avoid redundant tree walks for getting its order.
Drop the lock and do the allocation only if a split is needed.
In the best case, it only need to walk the tree once. If it needs to

It can be used after xas_load to check the order of loaded entries.
Compared to xa_get_order, it saves an XA_STATE and avoid a rewalk.
Added new test for xas_get_order, to make the test work, we have to export
xas_get_order with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.
Also fix a sparse warning by checking the slot value with xa_entry instead
of accessing it directly, as suggested by Matthew Wilcox.

Patch series "mm/filemap: optimize folio adding and splitting", v4.
Currently, at least 3 tree walks are needed for filemap folio adding if
the folio is previously evicted. One for getting the order of current
slot, one for ranged conflict check, and one for another order retrieving.
If a split is needed, more walks are needed.
This series is trying to merge these walks, and speed up
filemap_add_folio, I see a 7.5% - 12.5% performance gain for fio stress
test.
So instead of doing multiple tree walks, do one optimism range check with
lock hold, and exit if raced with another insertion. If a shadow exists,
check it with a new xas_get_order helper before releasing the lock to
avoid redundant tree walks for getting its order.

Callers of folio_estimated_sharers() only care about "mapped shared vs.
mapped exclusively", not the exact estimate of sharers. Let's consolidate
and unify the condition users are checking. While at it clarify the
semantics and extend the discussion on the fuzziness.
Use the "likely mapped shared" terminology to better express what the
(adjusted) function actually checks.
Whether a partially-mappable folio is more likely to not be partially
mapped than partially mapped is debatable. In the future, we might be
able to improve our estimate for partially-mappable folios, though.
Note that we will now consistently detect "mapped shared" only if the
first subpage is actually mapped multiple times. When the first subpage
is not mapped, we will consistently detect it as "mapped exclusively".
This change should currently only affect the usage in
madvise_free_pte_range() and queue_folios_pte_range() for large folios: if
the first page was already unmapped, we would have skipped the folio.

If the source folio is on deferred split list, it is likely some subpages
are not used. Split it before migration to avoid migrating unused
subpages.
Commit 616b8371539a6 ("mm: thp: enable thp migration in generic path") did
not check if a THP is on deferred split list before migration, thus, the
destination THP is never put on deferred split list even if the source THP
might be. The opportunity of reclaiming free pages in a partially mapped
THP during deferred list scanning is lost, but no other harmful
consequence is present[1].

Within try_to_unmap_one(), page_vma_mapped_walk() races with other PTE
modifications preceded by pte clear. While iterating over PTEs of a large
folio, it only starts acquiring PTL from the first valid (present) PTE.
PTE modifications can temporarily set PTEs to pte_none. Consequently, the
initial PTEs of a large folio might be skipped in try_to_unmap_one().
For example, for an anon folio, if we skip PTE0, we may have PTE0 which is
still present, while PTE1 ~ PTE(nr_pages - 1) are swap entries after
try_to_unmap_one().
So folio will be still mapped, the folio fails to be reclaimed and is put
back to LRU in this round.
This also breaks up PTEs optimization such as CONT-PTE on this large folio
and may lead to accident folio_split() afterwards. And since a part of
PTEs are now swap entries, accessing those parts will introduce overhead -
do_swap_page. Although the kernel can withstand all of the above issues,
the situation still seems quite awkward and warrants making it more ideal.
The same race also occurs with small folios, but they have only one PTE,
thus, it won't be possible for them to be partially unmapped.
This patch holds PTL from PTE0, allowing us to avoid reading PTE values
that are in the process of being transformed. With stable PTE values, we
can ensure that this large folio is either completely reclaimed or that
all PTEs remain untouched in this round.
A corner case is that if we hold PTL from PTE0 and most initial PTEs have
been really unmapped before that, we may increase the duration of holding
PTL. Thus we only apply this optimization to folios which are still
entirely mapped (not in deferred_split list).

If called by __get_vm_area_node(), by open coding the field assignments of
'struct vm_struct *vm', and move the vm->flags and vm->caller assignments
into __get_vm_area_node(), the passed in arguments 'flags' and 'caller'
can be removed.
This alleviates overloaded arguments passed in for alloc_vmap_area().

If there are too many folios that are recently evicted in a file, then
they will probably continue to be evicted. In such situation, there is no
positive effect to read-ahead this file since it is only a waste of IO.
The mmap_miss is increased in do_sync_mmap_readahead() and decreased in
both do_async_mmap_readahead() and filemap_map_pages(). In order to skip
read-ahead in above scenario, the mmap_miss have to increased exceed
MMAP_LOTSAMISS. This can be done by stop decreased mmap_miss when folio
has workingset flag. The async path is not to care because in above
scenario, it's hard to run into the async path.

Patch series "Fix I/O high when memory almost met memcg limit", v2.
Recently, when install package in a docker which almost reached its memory
limit, the installer has no respond severely for more than 15 minutes.
During this period, I/O stays high(~1G/s) and influence the whole machine.
I've constructed a use case as follows:
1. create a docker:
$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash
docker rm centos7 --force
docker create --name centos7 --memory 4G --memory-swap 6G centos:7 /usr/sbin/init
docker start centos7
sleep 1
docker cp ./alloc_page centos7:/
docker cp ./reproduce.sh centos7:/
docker exec -it centos7 /bin/bash
2. try reproduce the problem in docker:
$ cat reproduce.sh
#!/bin/bash
while true; do
flag=$(ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep alloc_page| wc -l)
if [ "$flag" -eq 0 ]; then
/alloc_page &
fi
sleep 30
start_time=$(date +%s)
yum install -y expect > /dev/null 2>&1
end_time=$(date +%s)
elapsed_time=$((end_time - start_time))
echo "$elapsed_time seconds"
yum remove -y expect > /dev/null 2>&1
done
$ cat alloc_page.c:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
#define SIZE 1*1024*1024 //1M
int main()
{
void *addr = NULL;
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 1024 * 6 - 50;i++) {
addr = (void *)malloc(SIZE);
if (!addr)
return -1;
memset(addr, 0, SIZE);
}
sleep(99999);
return 0;
}
We found that this problem is caused by a lot ot meaningless read-ahead.
Since the docker is almost met memory limit, the page will be reclaimed
immediately after read-ahead and will read-ahead again immediately. The
program is executed slowly and waste a lot of I/O resource.
These two patch aim to break the read-ahead in above scenario.

This patch (of 2):
When filemap_add_folio() return -ENOMEM, break read-ahead loop like what
filemap_alloc_folio() does.

Commit d0637c505f8a1 ("arm64: enable THP_SWAP for arm64") brings up
THP_SWAP on ARM64, but it doesn't enable THP_SWP on hardware with MTE as
the MTE code works with the assumption tags save/restore is always
handling a folio with only one page.
The limitation should be removed as more and more ARM64 SoCs have this
feature. Co-existence of MTE and THP_SWAP becomes more and more
important.
This patch makes MTE tags saving support large folios, then we don't need
to split large folios into base pages for swapping out on ARM64 SoCs with
MTE any more.
arch_prepare_to_swap() should take folio rather than page as parameter
because we support THP swap-out as a whole. It saves tags for all pages
in a large folio.
As now we are restoring tags based-on folio, in arch_swap_restore(), we
may increase some extra loops and early-exitings while refaulting a large
folio which is still in swapcache in do_swap_page(). In case a large
folio has nr pages, do_swap_page() will only set the PTE of the particular
page which is causing the page fault. Thus do_swap_page() runs nr times,
and each time, arch_swap_restore() will loop nr times for those subpages
in the folio. So right now the algorithmic complexity becomes O(nr^2).
Once we support mapping large folios in do_swap_page(), extra loops and
early-exitings will decrease while not being completely removed as a large
folio might get partially tagged in corner cases such as, 1. a large
folio in swapcache can be partially unmapped, thus, MTE tags for the
unmapped pages will be invalidated; 2. users might use mprotect() to set
MTEs on a part of a large folio.
arch_thp_swp_supported() is dropped since ARM64 MTE was the only one who
needed it.
