Introduce damon_get_folio(), and the temporary wrapper function
damon_get_page(), which help us to convert damon related functions to use
folios, and it will be dropped once the conversion is completed.

Firstly, make page_idle_get_page() return a folio, also rename it to
page_idle_get_folio(), then, use it to convert page_idle_bitmap_read() and
page_idle_bitmap_write() functions.

Patch series "mm: convert page_idle/damon to use folios", v4.
This patch (of 8):
Convert page_memcg_check() into folio_memcg_check() and add a
page_memcg_check() wrapper. The behaviour of page_memcg_check() is
unchanged; tail pages always had a NULL ->memcg_data.

Kernel build regression with LLVM was reported here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/Y1GCYXGtEVZbcv%2F5@dev-arch.thelio-3990X/ with
commit f35b5d7d676e ("mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP
boundaries"). And the commit f35b5d7d676e was reverted.
It turned out the regression is related with madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)
was used by ld.lld. But with none PMD_SIZE aligned parameter len.
trace-bpfcc captured:
531607 531732 ld.lld do_madvise.part.0 start: 0x7feca9000000, len: 0x7fb000, behavior: 0x4
531607 531793 ld.lld do_madvise.part.0 start: 0x7fec86a00000, len: 0x7fb000, behavior: 0x4
If the underneath physical page is THP, the madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) can
trigger split_queue_lock contention raised significantly. perf showed
following data:
14.85% 0.00% ld.lld [kernel.kallsyms] [k]
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
11.52%
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
do_syscall_64
__x64_sys_madvise
do_madvise.part.0
zap_page_range
unmap_single_vma
unmap_page_range
page_remove_rmap
deferred_split_huge_page
__lock_text_start
native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
If THP can't be removed from rmap as whole THP, partial THP will be
removed from rmap by removing sub-pages from rmap. Even the THP head page
is added to deferred queue already, the split_queue_lock will be acquired
and check whether the THP head page is in the queue already. Thus, the
contention of split_queue_lock is raised.
Before acquire split_queue_lock, check and bail out early if the THP
head page is in the queue already. The checking without holding
split_queue_lock could race with deferred_split_scan, but it doesn't
impact the correctness here.
Test result of building kernel with ld.lld:

Page reporting fetches pr_dev_info using rcu_access_pointer(), which is
for safely fetching a pointer that will not be dereferenced but could
concurrently updated. The code indeed does not dereference pr_dev_info
after fetching it using rcu_access_pointer(), but it fetches the pointer
while concurrent updates to the pointer is avoided by holding the update
side lock, page_reporting_mutex.
In the case, rcu_dereference_protected() should be used instead because it
provides better readability and performance on some cases, as
rcu_dereference_protected() avoids use of READ_ONCE(). Replace the
rcu_access_pointer() calls with rcu_dereference_protected().

Being able to provide a custom protection opens the door for
inconsistencies and BUGs: for example, accidentally allowing for more
permissions than desired by other mechanisms (e.g., softdirty tracking).
vma->vm_page_prot should be the single source of truth.
Only PROT_NUMA is special: there is no way we can erroneously allow
for more permissions when removing all permissions. Special-case using
the MM_CP_PROT_NUMA flag.

Patch series "mm: uffd-wp + change_protection() cleanups".
Cleanup page protection handling in uffd-wp when calling
change_protection() and improve unprotecting uffd=wp in private mappings,
trying to set PTEs writable again if possible just like we do during
mprotect() when upgrading write permissions. Make the change_protection()
interface harder to get wrong :)
I consider both pages primarily cleanups, although patch #1 fixes a corner
case with uffd-wp and softdirty tracking for shmem. @Peter, please let me
know if we should flag patch #1 as pure cleanup -- I have no idea how
important softdirty tracking on shmem is.
This patch (of 2):
uffd_wp_range() currently calculates page protection manually using
vm_get_page_prot(). This will ignore any other reason for active
writenotify: one mechanism applicable to shmem is softdirty tracking.
For example, the following sequence
1) Write to mapped shmem page
2) Clear softdirty
3) Register uffd-wp covering the mapped page
4) Unregister uffd-wp covering the mapped page
5) Write to page again
will not set the modified page softdirty, because uffd_wp_range() will
ignore that writenotify is required for softdirty tracking and simply map
the page writable again using change_protection(). Similarly, instead of
unregistering, protecting followed by un-protecting the page using uffd-wp
would result in the same situation.
Now that we enable writenotify whenever enabling uffd-wp on a VMA,
vma->vm_page_prot will already properly reflect our requirements: the
default is to write-protect all PTEs. However, for shared mappings we
would now not remap the PTEs writable if possible when unprotecting, just
like for private mappings (COW). To compensate, set
MM_CP_TRY_CHANGE_WRITABLE just like mprotect() does to try mapping
individual PTEs writable.
For private mappings, this change implies that we will now always try
setting PTEs writable when un-protecting, just like when upgrading write
permissions using mprotect(), which is an improvement.
For shared mappings, we will only set PTEs writable if
can_change_pte_writable()/can_change_pmd_writable() indicates that it's
ok. For ordinary shmem, this will be the case when PTEs are dirty, which
should usually be the case -- otherwise we could special-case shmem in
can_change_pte_writable()/can_change_pmd_writable() easily, because shmem
itself doesn't require writenotify.
Note that hugetlb does not yet implement MM_CP_TRY_CHANGE_WRITABLE, so we
won't try setting PTEs writable when unprotecting or when unregistering
uffd-wp. This can be added later on top by implementing
MM_CP_TRY_CHANGE_WRITABLE.
While commit ffd05793963a ("userfaultfd: wp: support write protection for
userfault vma range") introduced that code, it should only be applicable
to uffd-wp on shared mappings -- shmem (hugetlb does not support softdirty
tracking). I don't think this corner cases justifies to cc stable. Let's
just handle it correctly and prepare for change_protection() cleanups.

Among the flags in scan_control:
1. sc->may_swap, which indicates swap constraint due to memsw.max, is
supported as usual.
2. sc->proactive, which indicates reclaim by memory.reclaim, may not
opportunistically skip the aging path, since it is considered less
latency sensitive.
3. !(sc->gfp_mask & __GFP_IO), which indicates IO constraint, lowers
swappiness to prioritize file LRU, since clean file folios are more
likely to exist.
4. sc->may_writepage and sc->may_unmap, which indicates opportunistic
reclaim, are rejected, since unmapped clean folios are already
prioritized. Scanning for more of them is likely futile and can
cause high reclaim latency when there is a large number of memcgs.
The rest are handled by the existing code.

For each node, memcgs are divided into two generations: the old and
the young. For each generation, memcgs are randomly sharded into
multiple bins to improve scalability. For each bin, an RCU hlist_nulls
is virtually divided into three segments: the head, the tail and the
default.
An onlining memcg is added to the tail of a random bin in the old
generation. The eviction starts at the head of a random bin in the old
generation. The per-node memcg generation counter, whose reminder (mod
2) indexes the old generation, is incremented when all its bins become
empty.
There are four operations:
1. MEMCG_LRU_HEAD, which moves an memcg to the head of a random bin in
its current generation (old or young) and updates its "seg" to
"head";
2. MEMCG_LRU_TAIL, which moves an memcg to the tail of a random bin in
its current generation (old or young) and updates its "seg" to
"tail";
3. MEMCG_LRU_OLD, which moves an memcg to the head of a random bin in
the old generation, updates its "gen" to "old" and resets its "seg"
to "default";
4. MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG, which moves an memcg to the tail of a random bin
in the young generation, updates its "gen" to "young" and resets
its "seg" to "default".
The events that trigger the above operations are:
1. Exceeding the soft limit, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_HEAD;
2. The first attempt to reclaim an memcg below low, which triggers
MEMCG_LRU_TAIL;
3. The first attempt to reclaim an memcg below reclaimable size
threshold, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_TAIL;
4. The second attempt to reclaim an memcg below reclaimable size
threshold, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG;
5. Attempting to reclaim an memcg below min, which triggers
MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG;
6. Finishing the aging on the eviction path, which triggers
MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG;
7. Offlining an memcg, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_OLD.
Note that memcg LRU only applies to global reclaim, and the
round-robin incrementing of their max_seq counters ensures the
eventual fairness to all eligible memcgs. For memcg reclaim, it still
relies on mem_cgroup_iter().

Recall that the aging produces the youngest generation: first it scans
for accessed folios and updates their gen counters; then it increments
lrugen->max_seq.
The current aging fairness safeguard for kswapd uses two passes to
ensure the fairness to multiple eligible memcgs. On the first pass,
which is shared with the eviction, it checks whether all eligible
memcgs are low on cold folios. If so, it requires a second pass, on
which it ages all those memcgs at the same time.
With memcg LRU, the aging, while ensuring eventual fairness, will run
when necessary. Therefore the current aging fairness safeguard for
kswapd will not be needed.
Note that memcg LRU only applies to global reclaim. For memcg reclaim,
the aging can be unfair to different memcgs, i.e., their
lrugen->max_seq can be incremented at different paces.

Recall that the eviction consumes the oldest generation: first it
bucket-sorts folios whose gen counters were updated by the aging and
reclaims the rest; then it increments lrugen->min_seq.
The current eviction fairness safeguard for global reclaim has a
dilemma: when there are multiple eligible memcgs, should it continue
or stop upon meeting the reclaim goal? If it continues, it overshoots
and increases direct reclaim latency; if it stops, it loses fairness
between memcgs it has taken memory away from and those it has yet to.
With memcg LRU, the eviction, while ensuring eventual fairness, will
stop upon meeting its goal. Therefore the current eviction fairness
safeguard for global reclaim will not be needed.
Note that memcg LRU only applies to global reclaim. For memcg reclaim,
the eviction will continue, even if it is overshooting. This becomes
unconditional due to code simplification.

Patch series "mm: multi-gen LRU: memcg LRU", v3.
Overview
========
An memcg LRU is a per-node LRU of memcgs. It is also an LRU of LRUs,
since each node and memcg combination has an LRU of folios (see
mem_cgroup_lruvec()).
Its goal is to improve the scalability of global reclaim, which is
critical to system-wide memory overcommit in data centers. Note that
memcg reclaim is currently out of scope.
Its memory bloat is a pointer to each lruvec and negligible to each
pglist_data. In terms of traversing memcgs during global reclaim, it
improves the best-case complexity from O(n) to O(1) and does not affect
the worst-case complexity O(n). Therefore, on average, it has a sublinear
complexity in contrast to the current linear complexity.
The basic structure of an memcg LRU can be understood by an analogy to
the active/inactive LRU (of folios):
1. It has the young and the old (generations), i.e., the counterparts
to the active and the inactive;
2. The increment of max_seq triggers promotion, i.e., the counterpart
to activation;
3. Other events trigger similar operations, e.g., offlining an memcg
triggers demotion, i.e., the counterpart to deactivation.
In terms of global reclaim, it has two distinct features:
1. Sharding, which allows each thread to start at a random memcg (in
the old generation) and improves parallelism;
2. Eventual fairness, which allows direct reclaim to bail out at will
and reduces latency without affecting fairness over some time.
The commit message in patch 6 details the workflow:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221222041905.2431096-7-yuzhao@google.com/
The following is a simple test to quickly verify its effectiveness.
Test design:
1. Create multiple memcgs.
2. Each memcg contains a job (fio).
3. All jobs access the same amount of memory randomly.
4. The system does not experience global memory pressure.
5. Periodically write to the root memory.reclaim.
Desired outcome:
1. All memcgs have similar pgsteal counts, i.e., stddev(pgsteal)
over mean(pgsteal) is close to 0%.
2. The total pgsteal is close to the total requested through
memory.reclaim, i.e., sum(pgsteal) over sum(requested) is close
to 100%.
Actual outcome [1]:
MGLRU off MGLRU on
stddev(pgsteal) / mean(pgsteal) 75% 20%
sum(pgsteal) / sum(requested) 425% 95%

Currently the __vunmap() path calls __find_vmap_area() twice. Once on
entry to check that the area exists, then inside the remove_vm_area()
function which also performs a new search for the VA.
In order to improvie it from a performance point of view we split
remove_vm_area() into two new parts:
- find_unlink_vmap_area() that does a search and unlink from tree;
- __remove_vm_area() that removes without searching.
In this case there is no any functional change for remove_vm_area()
whereas vm_remove_mappings(), where a second search happens, switches to
the __remove_vm_area() variant where the already detached VA is passed as
a parameter, so there is no need to find it again.
Performance wise, i use test_vmalloc.sh with 32 threads doing alloc

Patch series "Convert deactivate_page() to folio_deactivate()", v4.
Deactivate_page() has already been converted to use folios. This patch
series modifies the callers of deactivate_page() to use folios. It also
introduces vm_normal_folio() to assist with folio conversions, and
converts deactivate_page() to folio_deactivate() which takes in a folio.
This patch (of 4):
Introduce a wrapper function called vm_normal_folio(). This function
calls vm_normal_page() and returns the folio of the page found, or null if
no page is found.
This function allows callers to get a folio from a pte, which will
eventually allow them to completely replace their struct page variables
with struct folio instead.

As Hardware Tag-Based KASAN is intended to be used in production, its
performance impact is crucial. As page_alloc allocations tend to be big,
tagging and checking all such allocations can introduce a significant
slowdown.
Add two new boot parameters that allow to alleviate that slowdown:
- kasan.page_alloc.sample, which makes Hardware Tag-Based KASAN tag only
every Nth page_alloc allocation with the order configured by the second
added parameter (default: tag every such allocation).
- kasan.page_alloc.sample.order, which makes sampling enabled by the first
parameter only affect page_alloc allocations with the order equal or
greater than the specified value (default: 3, see below).
The exact performance improvement caused by using the new parameters
depends on their values and the applied workload.
The chosen default value for kasan.page_alloc.sample.order is 3, which
matches both PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER and SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER. This is
done for two reasons:
1. PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER is "the order at which allocations are deemed
costly to service", which corresponds to the idea that only large and
thus costly allocations are supposed to sampled.
2. One of the workloads targeted by this patch is a benchmark that sends
a large amount of data over a local loopback connection. Most multi-page
data allocations in the networking subsystem have the order of
SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER (or PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER).
When running a local loopback test on a testing MTE-enabled device in sync
mode, enabling Hardware Tag-Based KASAN introduces a ~50% slowdown.
Applying this patch and setting kasan.page_alloc.sampling to a value
higher than 1 allows to lower the slowdown. The performance improvement
saturates around the sampling interval value of 10 with the default
sampling page order of 3. This lowers the slowdown to ~20%. The slowdown
in real scenarios involving the network will likely be better.
Enabling page_alloc sampling has a downside: KASAN misses bad accesses to
a page_alloc allocation that has not been tagged. This lowers the value
of KASAN as a security mitigation.
However, based on measuring the number of page_alloc allocations of
different orders during boot in a test build, sampling with the default
kasan.page_alloc.sample.order value affects only ~7% of allocations. The
rest ~93% of allocations are still checked deterministically.

All its callers either already hold a reference to, or lock the swap
device while calling this function. There is only one exception in
shmem_swapin_folio, just make this caller also hold a reference of the
swap device, so this helper can be simplified and saves a few cycles.
This also provides finer control of error handling in shmem_swapin_folio,
on race (with swap off), it can just try again. For invalid swap entry,
it can fail with a proper error code.

Patch series "implement DAMOS filtering for anon pages and/or specific
memory cgroups"
DAMOS let users do system operations in a data access pattern oriented
way. The data access pattern, which is extracted by DAMON, is somewhat
accurate more than what user space could know in many cases. However, in
some situation, users could know something more than the kernel about the
pattern or some special requirements for some types of memory or
processes. For example, some users would have slow swap devices and knows
latency-ciritical processes and therefore want to use DAMON-based
proactive reclamation (DAMON_RECLAIM) for only non-anonymous pages of
non-latency-critical processes.
For such restriction, users could exclude the memory regions from the
initial monitoring regions and use non-dynamic monitoring regions update
monitoring operations set including fvaddr and paddr. They could also
adjust the DAMOS target access pattern. For dynamically changing memory
layout and access pattern, those would be not enough.
To help the case, add an interface, namely DAMOS filters, which can be
used to avoid the DAMOS actions be applied to specific types of memory, to
DAMON kernel API (damon.h). At the moment, it supports filtering
anonymous pages and/or specific memory cgroups in or out for each DAMOS
scheme.
This patchset adds the support for all DAMOS actions that 'paddr'
monitoring operations set supports ('pageout', 'lru_prio', and
'lru_deprio'), and the functionality is exposed via DAMON kernel API
(damon.h) the DAMON sysfs interface (/sys/kernel/mm/damon/admins/), and
DAMON_RECLAIM module parameters.
Patches Sequence
----------------
First patch implements DAMOS filter interface to DAMON kernel API. Second
patch makes the physical address space monitoring operations set to
support the filters from all supporting DAMOS actions. Third patch adds
anonymous pages filter support to DAMON_RECLAIM, and the fourth patch
documents the DAMON_RECLAIM's new feature. Fifth to seventh patches
implement DAMON sysfs files for support of the filters, and eighth patch
connects the file to use DAMOS filters feature. Ninth patch adds simple
self test cases for DAMOS filters of the sysfs interface. Finally,
following two patches (tenth and eleventh) document the new features and
interfaces.
This patch (of 11):
DAMOS lets users do system operation in a data access pattern oriented
way. The data access pattern, which is extracted by DAMON, is somewhat

Charge moving mode in cgroup1 allows memory to follow tasks as they
migrate between cgroups. This is, and always has been, a questionable
thing to do - for several reasons.
First, it's expensive. Pages need to be identified, locked and isolated
from various MM operations, and reassigned, one by one.
Second, it's unreliable. Once pages are charged to a cgroup, there isn't
always a clear owner task anymore. Cache isn't moved at all, for example.
Mapped memory is moved - but if trylocking or isolating a page fails,
it's arbitrarily left behind. Frequent moving between domains may leave a
task's memory scattered all over the place.
Third, it isn't really needed. Launcher tasks can kick off workload tasks
directly in their target cgroup. Using dedicated per-workload groups
allows fine-grained policy adjustments - no need to move tasks and their
physical pages between control domains. The feature was never
forward-ported to cgroup2, and it hasn't been missed.
Despite it being a niche usecase, the maintenance overhead of supporting
it is enormous. Because pages are moved while they are live and subject
to various MM operations, the synchronization rules are complicated.
There are lock_page_memcg() in MM and FS code, which non-cgroup people
don't understand. In some cases we've been able to shift code and cgroup
API calls around such that we can rely on native locking as much as
possible. But that's fragile, and sometimes we need to hold MM locks for
longer than we otherwise would (pte lock e.g.).
Mark the feature deprecated. Hopefully we can remove it soon.
And backport into -stable kernels so that people who develop against
earlier kernels are warned about this deprecation as early as possible.

The previous patch made sure charge moving only touches pages for which
page_mapped() is stable. lock_page_memcg() is no longer needed.

Patch series "mm: push down lock_page_memcg()", v2.
This patch (of 3):
During charge moving, the pte lock and the page lock cover nearly all
cases of stabilizing page_mapped(). The only exception is when we're
looking at a non-present pte and find a page in the page cache or in the
swapcache: if the page is mapped elsewhere, it can become unmapped outside
of our control. For this reason, rmap needs lock_page_memcg().
We don't like cgroup-specific locks in generic MM code - especially in
performance-critical MM code - and for a legacy feature that's unlikely to
have many users left - if any.
So remove the exception. Arguably that's better semantics anyway: the
page is shared, and another process seems to be the more active user.
Once we stop moving such pages, rmap doesn't need lock_page_memcg()
anymore. The next patch will remove it.

With the gcc 'maybe-uninitialized' warning enabled, gcc will produce:
mm/hugetlb.c:6896:20: warning: `chg' may be used uninitialized
This is a false positive, but may be difficult for the compiler to
determine. maybe-uninitialized is disabled by default, but this gets
flagged as a 0-DAY build regression.
Initialize the variable to silence the warning.

mark_page_lazyfree() and the callers are converted to use folio, this
rename and make it to take in a folio argument instead of calling
page_folio().

The result of the allocation attempt is not printed in
trace_cma_alloc_finish, but it's important to do it so we can set filters
to catch specific errors on allocation or to trigger some operations on
specific errors.
We have printed the result in log, but the log is conditional and could
not be filtered by tracing events.
It introduces little overhead to print this result. The result of
allocation is named `errorno' in the trace.

set_mempolicy_home_node
set_mempolicy_home_node tries to duplicate a memory policy before checking
it whether it is applicable for the operation. There is no real reason
for doing that and it might actually be a pointless memory allocation and
deallocation exercise for MPOL_INTERLEAVE.
Not a big problem but we can do better. Simply check the policy before
acting on it.
