Currently enabling THP support (CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE) requires
enabling either CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS or
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE, which both cause khugepaged starting
by default at kernel bootup. Add the third choice
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_NEVER, in line with the existing kernel
command line setting transparent_hugepage=never, to disable THP by default
(in particular, to prevent starting khugepaged by default) but still allow
enabling it at runtime via sysfs.
Rationale: khugepaged has its own non-negligible memory cost even if it is
not used by any applications, since it bumps up vm.min_free_kbytes to its
own required minimum in set_recommended_min_free_kbytes(). For example,
on a machine with 4GB RAM, with 3 mm zones and pageblock_order ==
MAX_ORDER, starting khugepaged causes vm.min_free_kbytes increase from 8MB
to 132MB.
So if we use THP on machines with e.g. >=8GB of memory for better
performance, but avoid using it on lower-memory machines to avoid its
memory overhead, then for the same reason we also want to avoid even
starting khugepaged on those <8GB machines. So with
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_NEVER we can use the same kernel image on both
>=8GB and <8GB machines, with THP support enabled but khugepaged not
started by default. The userspace can then decide to enable THP via sysfs
if needed, based on the total amount of memory.
This could also be achieved with the existing transparent_hugepage=never
setting in the kernel command line instead. But it seems cleaner to avoid
tweaking the command line for such a basic setting.
P.S. I see that CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_NEVER was already proposed
in the past [1] but without an explanation of the purpose.

The issue is caused by kmemleak registering each per_cpu_ptr()

The THP machinery does not support order-1 folios because it requires meta
data spanning the first 3 `struct page`s. So order-2 is the smallest
large folio that we can safely create.
There was a theoretical bug whereby if ra->size was 2 or 3 pages (due to
the device-specific bdi->ra_pages being set that way), we could end up
with order = 1. Fix this by unconditionally checking if the preferred
order is 1 and if so, set it to 0. Previously this was done in a few
specific places, but with this refactoring it is done just once,
unconditionally, at the end of the calculation.
This is a theoretical bug found during review of the code; I have no
evidence to suggest this manifests in the real world (I expect all
device-specific ra_pages values are much bigger than 3).

Since ksm only support normal page, no swapout/in for ksm large folio too,
add large folio check in ksm_might_need_to_copy(), also convert
page->index to folio->index as page->index is going away.
Then convert ksm_might_need_to_copy() to use more folio api to save nine

Make DAMON sysfs interface to read the user inputs for DAMOS quota goals
and pass those to DAMOS, so that the users can use the quota auto-tuning
feature. It uses the DAMON sysfs interface's user input commit mechanism,
which applies all user inputs for initial starting of DAMON and online
input updates, which can be done by writing 'on' and 'commit' to the
kdamond's 'state' file, respectively. In other words, the user should
periodically write appropriate value to 'current_value' files and 'commit'
command to the 'state' file. 'target_value' files could also be similarly
updated at any time.
Note that the interface is supporting multiple goals while the core logic
supports only one goal. DAMON sysfs interface passes only best feedback
among the given inputs, to avoid making DAMOS too aggressive.

Those allow users set multiple goals for their aim, with target values.
Users can further enter the current score value for each goal as feedback

Note that this commit is implementing only the basic file operations, and
not connecting the files with the DAMOS core logic. Hence writing
something to the files makes no real effect. The following commit will

Patch series "mm/damon: let users feed and tame/auto-tune DAMOS".
Introduce Aim-oriented Feedback-driven DAMOS Aggressiveness Auto-tuning.
It makes DAMOS self-tuned with periodic simple user feedback.
Background: DAMOS Control Difficulty
====================================
DAMOS helps users easily implement access pattern aware system operations.
However, controlling DAMOS in the wild is not that easy.
The basic way for DAMOS control is specifying the target access pattern.
In this approach, the user is assumed to well understand the access
pattern and the characteristics of the system and the workloads. Though
there are useful tools for that, it takes time and effort depending on the
complexity and the dynamicity of the system and the workloads. After all,
the access pattern consists of three ranges, namely the size, the access
rate, and the age of the regions. It means users need to tune six
parameters, which is anyway not a simple task.
One of the worst cases would be DAMOS being too aggressive like a
berserker, and therefore consuming too much system resource and making
unwanted radical system operations. To let users avoid such cases, DAMOS
allows users to set the upper-limit of the schemes' aggressiveness, namely
DAMOS quota. DAMOS further provides its best-effort under the limit by
prioritizing regions based on the access pattern of the regions. For
example, users can ask DAMOS to page out up to 100 MiB of memory regions
per second. Then DAMOS pages out regions that are not accessed for a
longer time (colder) first under the limit. This allows users to set the
target access pattern a bit naive with wider ranges, and focus on tuning
only one parameter, the quota. In other words, the number of parameters
to tune can be reduced from six to one.
Still, however, the optimum value for the quota depends on the system and
the workloads' characteristics, so not that simple. The number of
parameters to tune can also increase again if the user needs to run
multiple schemes.
Aim-oriented Feedback-driven DAMOS Aggressiveness Auto Tuning
=============================================================
Users would use DAMOS since they want to achieve something with it. They
will likely have measurable metrics representing the achievement and the
target number of the metric like SLO, and continuously measure that
anyway. While the additional cost of getting the information is nearly
zero, it could be useful for DAMOS to understand how appropriate its
current aggressiveness is set, and adjust it on its own to make the metric
value more close to the target.
Based on this idea, we introduce a new way of tuning DAMOS with nearly
zero additional effort, namely Aim-oriented Feedback-driven DAMOS
Aggressiveness Auto Tuning. It asks users to provide feedback
representing how well DAMOS is doing relative to the users' aim. Then
DAMOS adjusts its aggressiveness, specifically the quota that provides
the best effort result under the limit, based on the current level of
the aggressiveness and the users' feedback.
Implementation
==============
The implementation asks users to represent the feedback with score
numbers. The scores could be anything including user-space specific
metrics including latency and throughput of special user-space workloads,
and system metrics including free memory ratio, memory pressure stall time
(PSI), and active to inactive LRU lists size ratio. The feedback scores
and the aggressiveness of the given DAMOS scheme are assumed to be
positively proportional, though. Selecting metrics of the assumption is
the users' responsibility.
The core logic uses the below simple feedback loop algorithm to calculate
the next aggressiveness level of the scheme from the current
aggressiveness level and the current feedback (target_score and
current_score). It calculates the compensation for next aggressiveness as
a proportion of current aggressiveness and distance to the target score.
As a result, it arrives at the near-goal state in a short time using big
steps when it's far from the goal, but avoids making unnecessarily radical
changes that could turn out to be a bad decision using small steps when
its near to the goal.
f(n) = max(1, f(n - 1) * ((target_score - current_score) / target_score + 1))
Note that the compensation value becomes negative when it's over
achieving the goal. That's why the feedback metric and the
aggressiveness of the scheme should be positively proportional. The
distance-adaptive speed manipulation is simply applied.
Example Use Cases
=================
If users want to reduce the memory footprint of the system as much as
possible as long as the time spent for handling the resulting memory
pressure is within a threshold, they could use DAMOS scheme that reclaims
cold memory regions aiming for a little level of memory pressure stall
time.
If users want the active/inactive LRU lists well balanced to reduce the
performance impact due to possible future memory pressure, they could use
two schemes. The first one would be set to locate hot pages in the active
LRU list, aiming for a specific active-to-inactive LRU list size ratio,
say, 70%. The second one would be to locate cold pages in the inactive
LRU list, aiming for a specific inactive-to-active LRU list size ratio,
say, 30%. Then, DAMOS will balance the two schemes based on the goal and
feedback.
This aim-oriented auto tuning could also be useful for general
balancing-required access aware system operations such as system memory
auto scaling[3] and tiered memory management[4]. These two example usages
are not what current DAMOS implementation is already supporting, but
require additional DAMOS action developments, though.
Evaluation: subtle memory pressure aiming proactive reclamation
===============================================================
To show if the implementation works as expected, we prepare four different
system configurations on AWS i3.metal instances. The first setup
(original) runs the workload without any DAMOS scheme. The second setup
(not-tuned) runs the workload with a virtual address space-based proactive
reclamation scheme that pages out memory regions that are not accessed for
five seconds or more. The third setup (offline-tuned) runs the same
proactive reclamation DAMOS scheme, but after making it tuned for each
workload offline, using our previous user-space driven automatic tuning
approach, namely DAMOOS[1]. The fourth and final setup (AFDAA) runs the
scheme that is the same as that of 'not-tuned' setup, but aims to keep
0.5% of 'some' memory pressure stall time (PSI) for the last 10 seconds
using the aiming-oriented auto tuning.
For each setup, we run realistic workloads from PARSEC3 and SPLASH-2X
benchmark suites. For each run, we measure RSS and runtime of the
workload, and 'some' memory pressure stall time (PSI) of the system. We
repeat the runs five times and use averaged measurements.
For simple comparison of the results, we normalize the measurements to
those of 'original'. In the case of the PSI, though, the measurement for
'original' was zero, so we normalize the value to that of 'not-tuned'
scheme's result. The normalized results are shown below.
Not-tuned Offline-tuned AFDAA
RSS 0.622688178226118 0.787950678944904 0.740093483278979
runtime 1.11767826657912 1.0564674983585 1.0910833880499
PSI 1 0.727521443794069 0.308498846350299
The 'not-tuned' scheme achieves about 38.7% memory saving but incur about
11.7% runtime slowdown. The 'offline-tuned' scheme achieves about 22.2%
memory saving with about 5.5% runtime slowdown. It also achieves about
28.2% memory pressure stall time saving. AFDAA achieves about 26% memory
saving with about 9.1% runtime slowdown. It also achieves about 69.1%
memory pressure stall time saving. We repeat this test multiple times,
and get consistent results. AFDAA is now integrated in our daily DAMON
performance test setup.
Apparently the aggressiveness of 'AFDAA' setup is somewhere between those
of 'not-tuned' and 'offline-tuned' setup, since its memory saving and
runtime overhead are between those of the other two setups. Actually we
set the memory pressure stall time goal aiming for this middle
aggressiveness. The difference in the two metrics are not significant,
though. However, it shows significant saving of the memory pressure stall
time, which was the goal of the auto-tuning, over the two variants.
Hence, we conclude the automatic tuning is working as expected.
Please note that the AFDAA setup is only for the evaluation, and
therefore intentionally set a bit aggressive. It might not be
appropriate for production environments.
The test code is also available[2], so you could reproduce it on your
system and workloads.
Patches Sequence
================
The first four patches implement the core logic and user interfaces for
the auto tuning. The first patch implements the core logic for the auto
tuning, and the API for DAMOS users in the kernel space. The second
patch implements basic file operations of DAMON sysfs directories and
files that will be used for setting the goals and providing the
feedback. The third patch connects the quota goals files inputs to the
DAMOS core logic. Finally the fourth patch implements a dedicated DAMOS
sysfs command for efficiently committing the quota goals feedback.
Two patches for simple tests of the logic and interfaces follow. The
fifth patch implements the core logic unit test. The sixth patch
implements a selftest for the DAMON Sysfs interface for the goals.
Finally, three patches for documentation follows. The seventh patch
documents the design of the feature. The eighth patch updates the API
doc for the new sysfs files. The final eighth patch updates the usage
document for the features.

This patch (of 9)
Users can effectively control the upper-limit aggressiveness of DAMOS
schemes using the quota feature. The quota provides best result under the
limit by prioritizing regions based on the access pattern. That said,
finding the best value, which could depend on dynamic characteristics of
the system and the workloads, is still challenging.
Implement a simple feedback-driven tuning mechanism and use it for
automatic tuning of DAMOS quota. The implementation allows users to
provide the feedback by setting a feedback score returning callback
function. Then DAMOS periodically calls the function back and adjusts the
quota based on the return value of the callback and current quota value.
Note that the absolute-value based time/size quotas still work as the
maximum hard limits of the scheme's aggressiveness. The feedback-driven
auto-tuned quota is applied only if it is not exceeding the manually set
maximum limits. Same for the scheme-target access pattern and filters
like other features.

Currently, we only shrink the zswap pool when the user-defined limit is
hit. This means that if we set the limit too high, cold data that are
unlikely to be used again will reside in the pool, wasting precious
memory. It is hard to predict how much zswap space will be needed ahead
of time, as this depends on the workload (specifically, on factors such as
memory access patterns and compressibility of the memory pages).
This patch implements a memcg- and NUMA-aware shrinker for zswap, that is
initiated when there is memory pressure. The shrinker does not have any
parameter that must be tuned by the user, and can be opted in or out on a
per-memcg basis.
Furthermore, to make it more robust for many workloads and prevent
overshrinking (i.e evicting warm pages that might be refaulted into
memory), we build in the following heuristics:
* Estimate the number of warm pages residing in zswap, and attempt to
protect this region of the zswap LRU.
* Scale the number of freeable objects by an estimate of the memory
saving factor. The better zswap compresses the data, the fewer pages
we will evict to swap (as we will otherwise incur IO for relatively
small memory saving).
* During reclaim, if the shrinker encounters a page that is also being
brought into memory, the shrinker will cautiously terminate its
shrinking action, as this is a sign that it is touching the warmer
region of the zswap LRU.
As a proof of concept, we ran the following synthetic benchmark: build the
linux kernel in a memory-limited cgroup, and allocate some cold data in
tmpfs to see if the shrinker could write them out and improved the overall
performance. Depending on the amount of cold data generated, we observe
from 14% to 35% reduction in kernel CPU time used in the kernel builds.

Currently, we only have a single global LRU for zswap. This makes it
impossible to perform worload-specific shrinking - an memcg cannot
determine which pages in the pool it owns, and often ends up writing pages
from other memcgs. This issue has been previously observed in practice
and mitigated by simply disabling memcg-initiated shrinking:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230530232435.3097106-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/T/#u
This patch fully resolves the issue by replacing the global zswap LRU
with memcg- and NUMA-specific LRUs, and modify the reclaim logic:
a) When a store attempt hits an memcg limit, it now triggers a
synchronous reclaim attempt that, if successful, allows the new
hotter page to be accepted by zswap.
b) If the store attempt instead hits the global zswap limit, it will
trigger an asynchronous reclaim attempt, in which an memcg is
selected for reclaim in a round-robin-like fashion.

Patch series "workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap
writeback", v8.
There are currently several issues with zswap writeback:
1. There is only a single global LRU for zswap, making it impossible to
perform worload-specific shrinking - an memcg under memory pressure
cannot determine which pages in the pool it owns, and often ends up
writing pages from other memcgs. This issue has been previously
observed in practice and mitigated by simply disabling
memcg-initiated shrinking:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230530232435.3097106-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/T/#u
But this solution leaves a lot to be desired, as we still do not
have an avenue for an memcg to free up its own memory locked up in
the zswap pool.
2. We only shrink the zswap pool when the user-defined limit is hit.
This means that if we set the limit too high, cold data that are
unlikely to be used again will reside in the pool, wasting precious
memory. It is hard to predict how much zswap space will be needed
ahead of time, as this depends on the workload (specifically, on
factors such as memory access patterns and compressibility of the
memory pages).
This patch series solves these issues by separating the global zswap LRU
into per-memcg and per-NUMA LRUs, and performs workload-specific (i.e
memcg- and NUMA-aware) zswap writeback under memory pressure. The new
shrinker does not have any parameter that must be tuned by the user, and
can be opted in or out on a per-memcg basis.
As a proof of concept, we ran the following synthetic benchmark: build the
linux kernel in a memory-limited cgroup, and allocate some cold data in
tmpfs to see if the shrinker could write them out and improved the overall
performance. Depending on the amount of cold data generated, we observe
from 14% to 35% reduction in kernel CPU time used in the kernel builds.
This patch (of 6):
The interface of list_lru is based on the assumption that the list node
and the data it represents belong to the same allocated on the correct
node/memcg. While this assumption is valid for existing slab objects LRU
such as dentries and inodes, it is undocumented, and rather inflexible for
certain potential list_lru users (such as the upcoming zswap shrinker and
the THP shrinker). It has caused us a lot of issues during our
development.
This patch changes list_lru interface so that the caller must explicitly
specify numa node and memcg when adding and removing objects. The old
list_lru_add() and list_lru_del() are renamed to list_lru_add_obj() and
list_lru_del_obj(), respectively.
It also extends the list_lru API with a new function, list_lru_putback,
which undoes a previous list_lru_isolate call. Unlike list_lru_add, it
does not increment the LRU node count (as list_lru_isolate does not
decrement the node count). list_lru_putback also allows for explicit
memcg and NUMA node selection.

The maple tree node is overloaded to keep status as well as the active
node. This, unfortunately, results in a re-walk on underflow or overflow.
Since the maple state has room, the status can be placed in its own enum
in the structure. Once an underflow/overflow is detected, certain modes
can restore the status to active and others may need to re-walk just that
one node to see the entry.
The status being an enum has the benefit of detecting unhandled status in
switch statements.

__mas_set_range() was created to shortcut resetting the maple state and a
debug check was added to the caller (the vma iterator) to ensure the
internal maple state remains safe to use. Move the debug check from the
vma iterator into the maple tree itself so other users do not incorrectly
use the advanced maple state modification.
Fallout from this change include a large amount of debug setup needed to
be moved to earlier in the header, and the maple_tree.h radix-tree test
code needed to move the inclusion of the header to after the atomic
define. None of those changes have functional changes.

Record and report more information to help us find the cause of the bug
and to help us correlate the error with other system events.
This patch adds recording and showing CPU number and timestamp at
allocation and free (controlled by CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA_INFO). The
timestamps in the report use the same format and source as printk.
Error occurrence timestamp is already implicit in the printk log, and CPU
number is already shown by dump_stack_lvl, so there is no need to add it.
In order to record CPU number and timestamp at allocation and free,
corresponding members need to be added to the relevant data structures,
which will lead to increased memory consumption.
In Generic KASAN, members are added to struct kasan_track. Since in most
cases, alloc meta is stored in the redzone and free meta is stored in the
object or the redzone, memory consumption will not increase much.
In SW_TAGS KASAN and HW_TAGS KASAN, members are added to struct
kasan_stack_ring_entry. Memory consumption increases as the size of
struct kasan_stack_ring_entry increases (this part of the memory is
allocated by memblock), but since this is configurable, it is up to the
user to choose.

The 8782fb61cc848 ("mm: pagewalk: Fix race between unmap and page walker")
introduces an assertion to walk_page_range_novma() to make all the users
of page table walker is safe. However, the race only exists for walking
the user page tables. And it is ridiculous to hold a particular user mmap
write lock against the changes of the kernel page tables. So only assert
at least mmap read lock when walking the kernel page tables. And some
users matching this case could downgrade to a mmap read lock to relief the
contention of mmap lock of init_mm, it will be nicer in hugetlb (only
holding mmap read lock) in the next patch.

kmap_atomic() has been deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().
Therefore, replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page() in swapfile.c.
kmap_atomic() is implemented like a kmap_local_page() which also disables
page-faults and preemption (the latter only in !PREEMPT_RT kernels). The
kernel virtual addresses returned by these two API are only valid in the
context of the callers (i.e., they cannot be handed to other threads).
With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread and CPU local like in
kmap_atomic(); however, they can handle page-faults and can be called from
any context (including interrupts). The tasks that call kmap_local_page()
can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the kernel
virtual addresses are restored and are still valid.
In mm/swapfile.c, the blocks of code between the mappings and un-mappings
do not depend on the above-mentioned side effects of kmap_atomic(), so
that the mere replacements of the old API with the new one is all that is
required (i.e., there is no need to explicitly call pagefault_disable()
and/or preempt_disable()).

When the system is under oom, it prints out the RSS information of each
process. However, we don't know the size of rss_anon, rss_file, and
rss_shmem.
To distinguish the memory occupied by anonymous or file mappings
or shmem, could help us identify the root cause of the oom.
So this patch adds RSS details, which refers to the /proc/<pid>/status[1].
It can help us know more about process memory usage.
Example of oom including the new rss_* fields:
[ 1630.902466] Tasks state (memory values in pages):
[ 1630.902870] [ pid ] uid tgid total_vm rss rss_anon rss_file rss_shmem pgtables_bytes swapents oom_score_adj name

__alloc_pages_direct_reclaim() is called from slowpath allocation where
high atomic reserves can be unreserved after there is a progress in
reclaim and yet no suitable page is found. Later should_reclaim_retry()
gets called from slow path allocation to decide if the reclaim needs to be
retried before OOM kill path is taken.
should_reclaim_retry() checks the available(reclaimable + free pages)
memory against the min wmark levels of a zone and returns:
a) true, if it is above the min wmark so that slow path allocation will
do the reclaim retries.
b) false, thus slowpath allocation takes oom kill path.
should_reclaim_retry() can also unreserves the high atomic reserves **but
only after all the reclaim retries are exhausted.**
In a case where there are almost none reclaimable memory and free pages
contains mostly the high atomic reserves but allocation context can't use
these high atomic reserves, makes the available memory below min wmark
levels hence false is returned from should_reclaim_retry() leading the
allocation request to take OOM kill path. This can turn into a early oom
kill if high atomic reserves are holding lot of free memory and
unreserving of them is not attempted.

Per above log, the free memory of ~7MB exist in the high atomic reserves
is not freed up before falling back to oom kill path.
Fix it by trying to unreserve the high atomic reserves in
should_reclaim_retry() before __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim() can fallback
to oom kill path.

Highatomic reserves are set to roughly 1% of zone for maximum and a
pageblock size for minimum. Encountered a system with the below
configuration:
Normal free:7728kB boost:0kB min:804kB low:1004kB high:1204kB
reserved_highatomic:8192KB managed:49224kB
On such systems, even a single pageblock makes highatomic reserves are set
to ~8% of the zone memory. This high value can easily exert pressure on
the zone.
Per discussion with Michal and Mel, it is not much useful to reserve the
memory for highatomic allocations on such small systems[1]. Since the
minimum size for high atomic reserves is always going to be a pageblock
size and if 1% of zone managed pages is going to be below pageblock size,
don't reserve memory for high atomic allocations. Thanks Michal for this
suggestion[2].
Since no memory is being reserved for high atomic allocations and if
respective allocation failures are seen, this patch can be reverted.

Patch series "mm: page_alloc: fixes for high atomic reserve
caluculations", v3.
The state of the system where the issue exposed shown in oom kill logs:

From the above, it is seen that ~16MB of memory reserved for high atomic
reserves against the expectation of 1% reserves which is fixed in the 1st
patch.
Don't reserve the high atomic page blocks if 1% of zone memory size is
below a pageblock size.
This patch (of 2):
reserve_highatomic_pageblock() aims to reserve the 1% of the managed pages
of a zone, which is used for the high order atomic allocations.
It uses the below calculation to reserve:
static void reserve_highatomic_pageblock(struct page *page, ....) {
.......
max_managed = (zone_managed_pages(zone) / 100) + pageblock_nr_pages;
if (zone->nr_reserved_highatomic >= max_managed)
goto out;
zone->nr_reserved_highatomic += pageblock_nr_pages;
set_pageblock_migratetype(page, MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC);
move_freepages_block(zone, page, MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC, NULL);
out:
....
}
Since we are always appending the 1% of zone managed pages count to
pageblock_nr_pages, the minimum it is turning into 2 pageblocks as the
nr_reserved_highatomic is incremented/decremented in pageblock sizes.
Encountered a system(actually a VM running on the Linux kernel) with the
below zone configuration:
Normal free:7728kB boost:0kB min:804kB low:1004kB high:1204kB
reserved_highatomic:8192KB managed:49224kB
The existing calculations making it to reserve the 8MB(with pageblock size
of 4MB) i.e. 16% of the zone managed memory. Reserving such high amount
of memory can easily exert memory pressure in the system thus may lead
into unnecessary reclaims till unreserving of high atomic reserves.
Since high atomic reserves are managed in pageblock size granules, as
MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC is set for such pageblock, fix the calculations for
high atomic reserves as, minimum is pageblock size , maximum is
approximately 1% of the zone managed pages.

Besides of the already described reasons the pages backended memory holes
might be persistent due to having memory mapped IO spaces behind those
ranges in the framework of flatmem kernel config. Add such note to the
init_unavailable_range() method kdoc in order to point out to one more
reason of having the function executed for such regions.

Currently free meta can only be stored in object if the object is not
smaller than free meta.
After the improvement, when the object is smaller than free meta and SLUB
DEBUG is not enabled, it is possible to store part of the free meta in the
object, reducing the increased size of the red zone.
Example:
free meta size: 16 bytes
alloc meta size: 16 bytes
object size: 8 bytes
optimal redzone size (object_size <= 64): 16 bytes
Before improvement:
actual redzone size = alloc meta size + free meta size = 32 bytes
After improvement:
actual redzone size = alloc meta size + (free meta size - object size)
= 24 bytes

kmap_atomic() has been deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().
Therefore, replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page().
kmap_atomic() is implemented like a kmap_local_page() which also disables
page-faults and preemption (the latter only in !PREEMPT_RT kernels). The
kernel virtual addresses returned by these two API are only valid in the
context of the callers (i.e., they cannot be handed to other threads).
With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread and CPU local like in
kmap_atomic(); however, they can handle page-faults and can be called from
any context (including interrupts). The tasks that call kmap_local_page()
can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the kernel
virtual addresses are restored and are still valid.
The code blocks between the mappings and un-mappings do not rely on the
above-mentioned side effects of kmap_atomic(), so that mere replacements
of the old API with the new one is all that they require (i.e., there is
no need to explicitly call pagefault_disable() and/or preempt_disable()).

kmap_atomic() has been deprecated in favor of kmap_local_{folio,page}.
Therefore, replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page in
__wp_page_copy_user().
kmap_atomic() disables preemption in !PREEMPT_RT kernels and
unconditionally disables also page-faults. My limited knowledge of the
implementation of __wp_page_copy_user() makes me think that the latter
side effect is still needed here, but kmap_local_page() is implemented not
to disable page-faults.
So, in addition to the conversion to local mapping, add explicit
pagefault_disable() / pagefault_enable() between mapping and un-mapping.

vmem_altmap_free() and vmem_altmap_offset() could be utlized without
CONFIG_ZONE_DEVICE enabled. For example,
mm/memory_hotplug.c:__add_pages() relies on that. The altmap is no longer
restricted to ZONE_DEVICE handling, but instead depends on
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.
When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is disabled, these functions are defined as
inline stubs, ensuring compatibility with configurations that do not use
sparsemem vmemmap. Without it, lkp reported the following:

Evict alloc/free stack traces from the stack depot for Generic KASAN once
they are evicted from the quaratine.
For auxiliary stack traces, evict the oldest stack trace once a new one is
saved (KASAN only keeps references to the last two).
Also evict all saved stack traces on krealloc.
To avoid double-evicting and mis-evicting stack traces (in case KASAN's
metadata was corrupted), reset KASAN's per-object metadata that stores
stack depot handles when the object is initialized and when it's evicted
from the quarantine.
Note that stack_depot_put is no-op if the handle is 0.

When both KASAN and slub_debug are enabled, when a free object is being
prepared in setup_object, slub_debug poisons the object data before KASAN
initializes its per-object metadata.
Right now, in setup_object, KASAN only initializes the alloc metadata,
which is always stored outside of the object. slub_debug is aware of this
and it skips poisoning and checking that memory area.
However, with the following patch in this series, KASAN also starts
initializing its free medata in setup_object. As this metadata might be
stored within the object, this initialization might overwrite the
slub_debug poisoning. This leads to slub_debug reports.
Thus, skip checking slub_debug poisoning of the object data area that
overlaps with the in-object KASAN free metadata.
Also make slub_debug poisoning of tail kmalloc redzones more precise when
KASAN is enabled: slub_debug can still poison and check the tail kmalloc
allocation area that comes after the KASAN free metadata.
