Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"The sprinkling of SPI drivers is because we added a new one and Mark
sent us a SPI driver interface conversion pull request.
Core
----
- Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with
jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO).
- Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little.
Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns.
Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration
to complete out of order.
- Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and
maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect).
- Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout the
stack.
- Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically
allocated per-CPU counters.
- Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting
sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT.
- Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs.
BPF
---
- Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is
marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity.
Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower iTLB
pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from getting
split.
- Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce
the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers.
- Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop the
user-mode-driver dependency.
- Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling
its use as a packet generator.
- Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if
called from a hook allowed to sleep.
- Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch
bits to come later).
- Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF
kfunc infra.
- Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space.
- Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching.
- Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers.
- Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64.
- Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels
without BTF info.
- Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations.
Protocols
---------
- Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev.
- Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency
links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames.
- Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable,
via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client
behavior.
- VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only
configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge.
- Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames.
- Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where
given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.)
- Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets.
- Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS.
Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules.
- Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X).
- tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs,
doubling the performance in some scenarios.
- IPv6 extension header handling in Open vSwitch.
- Support IPv6 control message load balancing in bonding, prevent
neighbor solicitation and advertisement from using the wrong port.
Support NS/NA monitor selection similar to existing ARP monitor.
- SMC
- improve performance with TCP_CORK and sendfile()
- support auto-corking
- support TCP_NODELAY
- MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol)
- add user space tag control interface
- I2C binding driver (as specified by DMTF DSP0237)
- Multi-BSSID beacon handling in AP mode for WiFi.
- Bluetooth:
- handle MSFT Monitor Device Event
- add MGMT Adv Monitor Device Found/Lost events
- Multi-Path TCP:
- add support for the SO_SNDTIMEO socket option
- lots of selftest cleanups and improvements
- Increase the max PDU size in CAN ISOTP to 64 kB.
Driver API
----------
- Add HW counters for SW netdevs, a mechanism for devices which
offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to
software interfaces such as tunnels.
- Select the default NIC queue count as a fraction of number of
physical CPU cores, instead of hard-coding to 8.
- Expose devlink instance locks to drivers. Allow device layer of
drivers to use that lock directly instead of creating their own
which always runs into ordering issues in devlink callbacks.
- Add header/data split indication to guide user space enabling of
TCP zero-copy Rx.
- Allow configuring completion queue event size.
- Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation.
- Add allocation and page reuse statistics to page_pool.
- Improve Multiple Spanning Trees support in the bridge to allow
reuse of topologies across VLANs, saving HW resources in switches.
- DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture):
- replay and offload of host VLAN entries
- offload of static and local FDB entries on LAG interfaces
- FDB isolation and unicast filtering

root's last reference being put.
- Batch more TLB flushes with an RCU trick. Whoever frees the
paging structure now holds RCU as a proxy for all vCPUs running
in the guest, i.e. to prolongs the grace period on their behalf.
It then kicks the the vCPUs out of guest mode before doing
rcu_read_unlock().

Pull tasklist_lock optimizations from Eric Biederman:
"prlimit and getpriority tasklist_lock optimizations
The tasklist_lock popped up as a scalability bottleneck on some
testing workloads. The readlocks in do_prlimit and set/getpriority are
not necessary in all cases.
Based on a cycles profile, it looked like ~87% of the time was spent
in the kernel, ~42% of which was just trying to get *some* spinlock
(queued_spin_lock_slowpath, not necessarily the tasklist_lock).
The big offenders (with rough percentages in cycles of the overall
trace):
- do_wait 11%
- setpriority 8% (done previously in commit 7f8ca0edfe07)
- kill 8%
- do_exit 5%
- clone 3%
- prlimit64 2% (this patchset)
- getrlimit 1% (this patchset)
I can't easily test this patchset on the original workload for various
reasons. Instead, I used the microbenchmark below to at least verify
there was some improvement. This patchset had a 28% speedup (12% from
baseline to set/getprio, then another 14% for prlimit).
This series used to do the setpriority case, but an almost identical
change was merged as commit 7f8ca0edfe07 ("kernel/sys.c: only take
tasklist_lock for get/setpriority(PRIO_PGRP)") so that has been
dropped from here.
One interesting thing is that my libc's getrlimit() was calling
prlimit64, so hoisting the read_lock(tasklist_lock) into sys_prlimit64
had no effect - it essentially optimized the older syscalls only. I
didn't do that in this patchset, but figured I'd mention it since it
was an option from the previous patch's discussion"

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- New user_events interface. User space can register an event with the
kernel describing the format of the event. Then it will receive a
byte in a page mapping that it can check against. A privileged task
can then enable that event like any other event, which will change
the mapped byte to true, telling the user space application to start
writing the event to the tracing buffer.
- Add new "ftrace_boot_snapshot" kernel command line parameter. When
set, the tracing buffer will be saved in the snapshot buffer at boot
up when the kernel hands things over to user space. This will keep
the traces that happened at boot up available even if user space boot
up has tracing as well.
- Have TRACE_EVENT_ENUM() also update trace event field type
descriptions. Thus if a static array defines its size with an enum,
the user space trace event parsers can still know how to parse that
array.
- Add new TRACE_CUSTOM_EVENT() macro. This acts the same as the
TRACE_EVENT() macro, but will attach to an existing tracepoint. This
will make one tracepoint be able to trace different content and not
be stuck at only what the original TRACE_EVENT() macro exports.
- Fixes to tracing error logging.
- Better saving of cmdlines to PIDs when tracing (use the wakeup events
for mapping).

Patch series "Introduce DAMON sysfs interface", v3.
Introduction
============
DAMON's debugfs-based user interface (DAMON_DBGFS) served very well, so
far. However, it unnecessarily depends on debugfs, while DAMON is not
aimed to be used for only debugging. Also, the interface receives
multiple values via one file. For example, schemes file receives 18
values. As a result, it is inefficient, hard to be used, and difficult to
be extended. Especially, keeping backward compatibility of user space
tools is getting only challenging. It would be better to implement
another reliable and flexible interface and deprecate DAMON_DBGFS in long
term.
For the reason, this patchset introduces a sysfs-based new user interface
of DAMON. The idea of the new interface is, using directory hierarchies
and having one dedicated file for each value. For a short example, users
can do the virtual address monitoring via the interface as below:
# cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/
# echo 1 > kdamonds/nr_kdamonds
# echo 1 > kdamonds/0/contexts/nr_contexts
# echo vaddr > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/operations
# echo 1 > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/targets/nr_targets
# echo $(pidof <workload>) > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/targets/0/pid_target
# echo on > kdamonds/0/state
A brief representation of the files hierarchy of DAMON sysfs interface is
as below. Childs are represented with indentation, directories are having
'/' suffix, and files in each directory are separated by comma.
/sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin
│ kdamonds/nr_kdamonds
│ │ 0/state,pid
│ │ │ contexts/nr_contexts
│ │ │ │ 0/operations
│ │ │ │ │ monitoring_attrs/

│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ...
│ │ │ │ │ │ ...

│ │ │ │ │ │ 0/action

│ │ │ │ │ │ │ watermarks/metric,interval_us,high,mid,low
│ │ │ │ │ │ │ stats/nr_tried,sz_tried,nr_applied,sz_applied,qt_exceeds
│ │ │ │ │ │ ...
│ │ │ │ ...
│ │ ...
Detailed usage of the files will be described in the final Documentation
patch of this patchset.
Main Difference Between DAMON_DBGFS and DAMON_SYSFS
---------------------------------------------------
At the moment, DAMON_DBGFS and DAMON_SYSFS provides same features. One
important difference between them is their exclusiveness. DAMON_DBGFS
works in an exclusive manner, so that no DAMON worker thread (kdamond) in
the system can run concurrently and interfere somehow. For the reason,
DAMON_DBGFS asks users to construct all monitoring contexts and start them
at once. It's not a big problem but makes the operation a little bit
complex and unflexible.
For more flexible usage, DAMON_SYSFS moves the responsibility of
preventing any possible interference to the admins and work in a
non-exclusive manner. That is, users can configure and start contexts one
by one. Note that DAMON respects both exclusive groups and non-exclusive
groups of contexts, in a manner similar to that of reader-writer locks.
That is, if any exclusive monitoring contexts (e.g., contexts that started
via DAMON_DBGFS) are running, DAMON_SYSFS does not start new contexts, and
vice versa.
Future Plan of DAMON_DBGFS Deprecation
======================================
Once this patchset is merged, DAMON_DBGFS development will be frozen.
That is, we will maintain it to work as is now so that no users will be
break. But, it will not be extended to provide any new feature of DAMON.
The support will be continued only until next LTS release. After that, we
will drop DAMON_DBGFS.
User-space Tooling Compatibility
--------------------------------
As DAMON_SYSFS provides all features of DAMON_DBGFS, all user space
tooling can move to DAMON_SYSFS. As we will continue supporting
DAMON_DBGFS until next LTS kernel release, user space tools would have
enough time to move to DAMON_SYSFS.
The official user space tool, damo[1], is already supporting both
DAMON_SYSFS and DAMON_DBGFS. Both correctness tests[2] and performance
tests[3] of DAMON using DAMON_SYSFS also passed.

[2] https://github.com/awslabs/damon-tests/tree/master/corr
[3] https://github.com/awslabs/damon-tests/tree/master/perf
Sequence of Patches
===================
First two patches (patches 1-2) make core changes for DAMON_SYSFS. The
first one (patch 1) allows non-exclusive DAMON contexts so that
DAMON_SYSFS can work in non-exclusive mode, while the second one (patch 2)
adds size of DAMON enum types so that DAMON API users can safely iterate
the enums.
Third patch (patch 3) implements basic sysfs stub for virtual address
spaces monitoring. Note that this implements only sysfs files and DAMON
is not linked. Fourth patch (patch 4) links the DAMON_SYSFS to DAMON so
that users can control DAMON using the sysfs files.
Following six patches (patches 5-10) implements other DAMON features that
DAMON_DBGFS supports one by one (physical address space monitoring,
DAMON-based operation schemes, schemes quotas, schemes prioritization
weights, schemes watermarks, and schemes stats).
Following patch (patch 11) adds a simple selftest for DAMON_SYSFS, and the
final one (patch 12) documents DAMON_SYSFS.
This patch (of 13):
To avoid interference between DAMON contexts monitoring overlapping memory
regions, damon_start() works in an exclusive manner. That is,
damon_start() does nothing bug fails if any context that started by
another instance of the function is still running. This makes its usage a
little bit restrictive. However, admins could aware each DAMON usage and
address such interferences on their own in some cases.
This commit hence implements non-exclusive mode of the function and allows
the callers to select the mode. Note that the exclusive groups and
non-exclusive groups of contexts will respect each other in a manner
similar to that of reader-writer locks. Therefore, this commit will not
cause any behavioral change to the exclusive groups.

In-kernel DAMON user code like DAMON debugfs interface should set 'struct
damon_operations' of its 'struct damon_ctx' on its own. Therefore, the
client code should depend on all supporting monitoring operations
implementations that it could use. For example, DAMON debugfs interface
depends on both vaddr and paddr, while some of the users are not always
interested in both.
To minimize such unnecessary dependencies, this commit makes the
monitoring operations can be registered by implementing code and then
dynamically selected by the user code without build-time dependency.

Patch series "Allow DAMON user code independent of monitoring primitives".
In-kernel DAMON user code is required to configure the monitoring context
(struct damon_ctx) with proper monitoring primitives (struct
damon_primitive). This makes the user code dependent to all supporting
monitoring primitives. For example, DAMON debugfs interface depends on
both DAMON_VADDR and DAMON_PADDR, though some users have interest in only
one use case. As more monitoring primitives are introduced, the problem
will be bigger.
To minimize such unnecessary dependency, this patchset makes monitoring
primitives can be registered by the implemnting code and later dynamically
searched and selected by the user code.
In addition to that, this patchset renames monitoring primitives to
monitoring operations, which is more easy to intuitively understand what
it means and how it would be structed.
This patch (of 8):
DAMON has a set of callback functions called monitoring primitives and let
it can be configured with various implementations for easy extension for
different address spaces and usages. However, the word 'primitive' is not
so explicit. Meanwhile, many other structs resembles similar purpose
calls themselves 'operations'. To make the code easier to be understood,
this commit renames 'damon_primitives' to 'damon_operations' before it is
too late to rename.

DAMON asks each monitoring target ('struct damon_target') to have one
'unsigned long' integer called 'id', which should be unique among the
targets of same monitoring context. Meaning of it is, however, totally up
to the monitoring primitives that registered to the monitoring context.
For example, the virtual address spaces monitoring primitives treats the
id as a 'struct pid' pointer.
This makes the code flexible, but ugly, not well-documented, and
type-unsafe[1]. Also, identification of each target can be done via its
index. For the reason, this commit removes the concept and uses clear
type definition. For now, only 'struct pid' pointer is used for the
virtual address spaces monitoring. If DAMON is extended in future so that
we need to put another identifier field in the struct, we will use a union
for such primitives-dependent fields and document which primitives are
using which type.

damon_set_targets() function is defined in the core for general use cases,
but called from only dbgfs. Also, because the function is for general use
cases, dbgfs does additional handling of pid type target id case. To make
the situation simpler, this commit moves the function into dbgfs and makes
it to do the pid type case handling on its own.

Some users of kmap() add an offset to the kmap() address to be used
during the mapping.
When converting to kmap_local_page() the base address does not need to
be stored because any address within the page can be used in
kunmap_local(). However, this was not clear from the documentation and
cause some questions.[1]
Document that any address in the page can be used in kunmap_local() to
clarify this for future users.

Abhishek reported that after patch [1], hotplug operations are taking
roughly double the expected time. [2]
The reason behind is that the CPU callbacks that
migrate_on_reclaim_init() sets always call set_migration_target_nodes()
whenever a CPU is brought up/down.
But we only care about numa nodes going from having cpus to become
cpuless, and vice versa, as that influences the demotion_target order.
We do already have two CPU callbacks (vmstat_cpu_online() and
vmstat_cpu_dead()) that check exactly that, so get rid of the CPU
callbacks in migrate_on_reclaim_init() and only call
set_migration_target_nodes() from vmstat_cpu_{dead,online}() whenever a
numa node change its N_CPU state.

test_pages_in_a_zone() is just another nasty PFN walker that can easily
stumble over ZONE_DEVICE memory ranges falling into the same memory block
as ordinary system RAM: the memmap of parts of these ranges might possibly
be uninitialized. In fact, we observed (on an older kernel) with UBSAN:

We seem to stumble over a memmap that contains a garbage zone id. While
we could try inserting pfn_to_online_page() calls, it will just make
memory offlining slower, because we use test_pages_in_a_zone() to make
sure we're offlining pages that all belong to the same zone.
Let's just get rid of this PFN walker and determine the single zone of a
memory block -- if any -- for early memory blocks during boot. For memory
onlining, we know the single zone already. Let's avoid any additional
memmap scanning and just rely on the zone information available during
boot.
For memory hot(un)plug, we only really care about memory blocks that:
* span a single zone (and, thereby, a single node)
* are completely System RAM (IOW, no holes, no ZONE_DEVICE)
If one of these conditions is not met, we reject memory offlining.
Hotplugged memory blocks (starting out offline), always meet both
conditions.
There are three scenarios to handle:
(1) Memory hot(un)plug
A memory block with zone == NULL cannot be offlined, corresponding to
our previous test_pages_in_a_zone() check.
After successful memory onlining/offlining, we simply set the zone
accordingly.
* Memory onlining: set the zone we just used for onlining
* Memory offlining: set zone = NULL
So a hotplugged memory block starts with zone = NULL. Once memory
onlining is done, we set the proper zone.
(2) Boot memory with !CONFIG_NUMA
We know that there is just a single pgdat, so we simply scan all zones
of that pgdat for an intersection with our memory block PFN range when
adding the memory block. If more than one zone intersects (e.g., DMA and
DMA32 on x86 for the first memory block) we set zone = NULL and
consequently mimic what test_pages_in_a_zone() used to do.
(3) Boot memory with CONFIG_NUMA
At the point in time we create the memory block devices during boot, we
don't know yet which nodes *actually* span a memory block. While we could
scan all zones of all nodes for intersections, overlapping nodes complicate
the situation and scanning all nodes is possibly expensive. But that
problem has already been solved by the code that sets the node of a memory
block and creates the link in the sysfs --
do_register_memory_block_under_node().
So, we hook into the code that sets the node id for a memory block. If
we already have a different node id set for the memory block, we know
that multiple nodes *actually* have PFNs falling into our memory block:
we set zone = NULL and consequently mimic what test_pages_in_a_zone() used
to do. If there is no node id set, we do the same as (2) for the given
node.
Note that the call order in driver_init() is:
-> memory_dev_init(): create memory block devices
-> node_dev_init(): link memory block devices to the node and set the
node id
So in summary, we detect if there is a single zone responsible for this
memory block and we consequently store the zone in that case in the
memory block, updating it during memory onlining/offlining.

Patch series "drivers/base/memory: determine and store zone for single-zone memory blocks", v2.
I remember talking to Michal in the past about removing
test_pages_in_a_zone(), which we use for:
* verifying that a memory block we intend to offline is really only managed
by a single zone. We don't support offlining of memory blocks that are
managed by multiple zones (e.g., multiple nodes, DMA and DMA32)
* exposing that zone to user space via
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/valid_zones
Now that I identified some more cases where test_pages_in_a_zone() might
go wrong, and we received an UBSAN report (see patch #3), let's get rid of
this PFN walker.
So instead of detecting the zone at runtime with test_pages_in_a_zone() by
scanning the memmap, let's determine and remember for each memory block if
it's managed by a single zone. The stored zone can then be used for the
above two cases, avoiding a manual lookup using test_pages_in_a_zone().
This avoids eventually stumbling over uninitialized memmaps in corner
cases, especially when ZONE_DEVICE ranges partly fall into memory block
(that are responsible for managing System RAM).
Handling memory onlining is easy, because we online to exactly one zone.
Handling boot memory is more tricky, because we want to avoid scanning all
zones of all nodes to detect possible zones that overlap with the physical
memory region of interest. Fortunately, we already have code that
determines the applicable nodes for a memory block, to create sysfs links
-- we'll hook into that.
Patch #1 is a simple cleanup I had laying around for a longer time.
Patch #2 contains the main logic to remove test_pages_in_a_zone() and
further details.

... and call node_dev_init() after memory_dev_init() from driver_init(),
so before any of the existing arch/subsys calls. All online nodes should
be known at that point: early during boot, arch code determines node and
zone ranges and sets the relevant nodes online; usually this happens in
setup_arch().
This is in line with memory_dev_init(), which initializes the memory
device subsystem and creates all memory block devices.
Similar to memory_dev_init(), panic() if anything goes wrong, we don't
want to continue with such basic initialization errors.
The important part is that node_dev_init() gets called after
memory_dev_init() and after cpu_dev_init(), but before any of the relevant
archs call register_cpu() to register the new cpu device under the node
device. The latter should be the case for the current users of
topology_init().

When a !node_online node is brought up it needs a hotplug specific
initialization because the node could be either uninitialized yet or it
could have been recycled after previous hotremove. hotadd_init_pgdat is
responsible for that.
Internal pgdat state is initialized at two places currently
- hotadd_init_pgdat
- free_area_init_core_hotplug
There is no real clear cut what should go where but this patch's chosen to
move the whole internal state initialization into
free_area_init_core_hotplug. hotadd_init_pgdat is still responsible to
pull all the parts together - most notably to initialize zonelists because
those depend on the overall topology.
This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

Prior to "mm: handle uninitialized numa nodes gracefully" memory hotplug
used to allocate pgdat when memory has been added to a node
(hotadd_init_pgdat) arch_free_nodedata has been only used in the failure
path because once the pgdat is exported (to be visible by NODA_DATA(nid))
it cannot really be freed because there is no synchronization available
for that.
pgdat is allocated for each possible nodes now so the memory hotplug
doesn't need to do the ever use arch_free_nodedata so drop it.
This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

We have had several reports [1][2][3] that page allocator blows up when an
allocation from a possible node is requested. The underlying reason is
that NODE_DATA for the specific node is not allocated.
NUMA specific initialization is arch specific and it can vary a lot. E.g.
x86 tries to initialize all nodes that have some cpu affinity (see
init_cpu_to_node) but this can be insufficient because the node might be
cpuless for example.
One way to address this problem would be to check for !node_online nodes
when trying to get a zonelist and silently fall back to another node.
That is unfortunately adding a branch into allocator hot path and it
doesn't handle any other potential NODE_DATA users.
This patch takes a different approach (following a lead of [3]) and it pre
allocates pgdat for all possible nodes in an arch indipendent code -
free_area_init. All uninitialized nodes are treated as memoryless nodes.
node_state of the node is not changed because that would lead to other
side effects - e.g. sysfs representation of such a node and from past
discussions [4] it is known that some tools might have problems digesting
that.
Newly allocated pgdat only gets a minimal initialization and the rest of
the work is expected to be done by the memory hotplug - hotadd_new_pgdat
(renamed to hotadd_init_pgdat).
generic_alloc_nodedata is changed to use the memblock allocator because
neither page nor slab allocators are available at the stage when all
pgdats are allocated. Hotplug doesn't allocate pgdat anymore so we can
use the early boot allocator. The only arch specific implementation is
ia64 and that is changed to use the early allocator as well.

Patch series "mm, memory_hotplug: handle unitialized numa node gracefully".
The core of the fix is patch 2 which also links existing bug reports. The
high level goal is to have all possible numa nodes have their pgdat
allocated and initialized so
for_each_possible_node(nid)
NODE_DATA(nid)
will never return garbage. This has proven to be problem in several
places when an offline numa node is used for an allocation just to realize
that node_data and therefore allocation fallback zonelists are not
initialized and such an allocation request blows up.
There were attempts to address that by checking node_online in several
places including the page allocator. This patchset approaches the problem
from a different perspective and instead of special casing, which just
adds a runtime overhead, it allocates pglist_data for each possible node.
This can add some memory overhead for platforms with high number of
possible nodes if they do not contain any memory. This should be a rather
rare configuration though.
How to test this? David has provided and excellent howto:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/6e5ebc19-890c-b6dd-1924-9f25c441010d@redhat.com
Patches 1 and 3-6 are mostly cleanups. The patchset has been reviewed by
Rafael (thanks!) and the core fix tested by Rafael and Alexey (thanks to
both). David has tested as per instructions above and hasn't found any
fallouts in the memory hotplug scenarios.
This patch (of 6):
This is a preparatory patch and it doesn't introduce any functional
change. It merely pulls out arch_alloc_nodedata (and co) outside of
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG because the following patch will need to call this
from the generic MM code.

When faults in from swap what used to be a KSM page and that page had been
swapped in before, system has to make a copy, and leaves remerging the
pages to a later pass of ksmd.
That is not good for performace, we'd better to reduce this kind of copy.
There are some ways to reduce it, for example lessen swappiness or
madvise(, , MADV_MERGEABLE) range. So add this event to support doing
this tuning. Just like this patch: "mm, THP, swap: add THP swapping out
fallback counting".

With the advent of various new memory types, some machines will have
multiple types of memory, e.g. DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory). The
memory subsystem of these machines can be called memory tiering system,
because the performance of the different types of memory are usually
different.
In such system, because of the memory accessing pattern changing etc,
some pages in the slow memory may become hot globally. So in this
patch, the NUMA balancing mechanism is enhanced to optimize the page
placement among the different memory types according to hot/cold
dynamically.
In a typical memory tiering system, there are CPUs, fast memory and slow
memory in each physical NUMA node. The CPUs and the fast memory will be
put in one logical node (called fast memory node), while the slow memory
will be put in another (faked) logical node (called slow memory node).
That is, the fast memory is regarded as local while the slow memory is
regarded as remote. So it's possible for the recently accessed pages in
the slow memory node to be promoted to the fast memory node via the
existing NUMA balancing mechanism.
The original NUMA balancing mechanism will stop to migrate pages if the
free memory of the target node becomes below the high watermark. This
is a reasonable policy if there's only one memory type. But this makes
the original NUMA balancing mechanism almost do not work to optimize
page placement among different memory types. Details are as follows.
It's the common cases that the working-set size of the workload is
larger than the size of the fast memory nodes. Otherwise, it's
unnecessary to use the slow memory at all. So, there are almost always
no enough free pages in the fast memory nodes, so that the globally hot
pages in the slow memory node cannot be promoted to the fast memory
node. To solve the issue, we have 2 choices as follows,
a. Ignore the free pages watermark checking when promoting hot pages
from the slow memory node to the fast memory node. This will
create some memory pressure in the fast memory node, thus trigger
the memory reclaiming. So that, the cold pages in the fast memory
node will be demoted to the slow memory node.
b. Define a new watermark called wmark_promo which is higher than
wmark_high, and have kswapd reclaiming pages until free pages reach
such watermark. The scenario is as follows: when we want to promote
hot-pages from a slow memory to a fast memory, but fast memory's free
pages would go lower than high watermark with such promotion, we wake
up kswapd with wmark_promo watermark in order to demote cold pages and
free us up some space. So, next time we want to promote hot-pages we
might have a chance of doing so.
The choice "a" may create high memory pressure in the fast memory node.
If the memory pressure of the workload is high, the memory pressure
may become so high that the memory allocation latency of the workload
is influenced, e.g. the direct reclaiming may be triggered.
The choice "b" works much better at this aspect. If the memory
pressure of the workload is high, the hot pages promotion will stop
earlier because its allocation watermark is higher than that of the
normal memory allocation. So in this patch, choice "b" is implemented.
A new zone watermark (WMARK_PROMO) is added. Which is larger than the
high watermark and can be controlled via watermark_scale_factor.
In addition to the original page placement optimization among sockets,
the NUMA balancing mechanism is extended to be used to optimize page
placement according to hot/cold among different memory types. So the
sysctl user space interface (numa_balancing) is extended in a backward
compatible way as follow, so that the users can enable/disable these
functionality individually.
The sysctl is converted from a Boolean value to a bits field. The
definition of the flags is,
- 0: NUMA_BALANCING_DISABLED
- 1: NUMA_BALANCING_NORMAL
- 2: NUMA_BALANCING_MEMORY_TIERING
We have tested the patch with the pmbench memory accessing benchmark
with the 80:20 read/write ratio and the Gauss access address
distribution on a 2 socket Intel server with Optane DC Persistent
Memory Model. The test results shows that the pmbench score can
improve up to 95.9%.
Thanks Andrew Morton to help fix the document format error.

Patch series "NUMA balancing: optimize memory placement for memory tiering system", v13
With the advent of various new memory types, some machines will have
multiple types of memory, e.g. DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory). The
memory subsystem of these machines can be called memory tiering system,
because the performance of the different types of memory are different.
After commit c221c0b0308f ("device-dax: "Hotplug" persistent memory for
use like normal RAM"), the PMEM could be used as the cost-effective
volatile memory in separate NUMA nodes. In a typical memory tiering
system, there are CPUs, DRAM and PMEM in each physical NUMA node. The
CPUs and the DRAM will be put in one logical node, while the PMEM will
be put in another (faked) logical node.
To optimize the system overall performance, the hot pages should be
placed in DRAM node. To do that, we need to identify the hot pages in
the PMEM node and migrate them to DRAM node via NUMA migration.
In the original NUMA balancing, there are already a set of existing
mechanisms to identify the pages recently accessed by the CPUs in a node
and migrate the pages to the node. So we can reuse these mechanisms to
build the mechanisms to optimize the page placement in the memory
tiering system. This is implemented in this patchset.
At the other hand, the cold pages should be placed in PMEM node. So, we
also need to identify the cold pages in the DRAM node and migrate them
to PMEM node.
In commit 26aa2d199d6f ("mm/migrate: demote pages during reclaim"), a
mechanism to demote the cold DRAM pages to PMEM node under memory
pressure is implemented. Based on that, the cold DRAM pages can be
demoted to PMEM node proactively to free some memory space on DRAM node
to accommodate the promoted hot PMEM pages. This is implemented in this
patchset too.
We have tested the solution with the pmbench memory accessing benchmark
with the 80:20 read/write ratio and the Gauss access address
distribution on a 2 socket Intel server with Optane DC Persistent Memory
Model. The test results shows that the pmbench score can improve up to
95.9%.
This patch (of 3):
In a system with multiple memory types, e.g. DRAM and PMEM, the CPU
and DRAM in one socket will be put in one NUMA node as before, while
the PMEM will be put in another NUMA node as described in the
description of the commit c221c0b0308f ("device-dax: "Hotplug"
persistent memory for use like normal RAM"). So, the NUMA balancing
mechanism will identify all PMEM accesses as remote access and try to
promote the PMEM pages to DRAM.
To distinguish the number of the inter-type promoted pages from that of
the inter-socket migrated pages. A new vmstat count is added. The
counter is per-node (count in the target node). So this can be used to
identify promotion imbalance among the NUMA nodes.

Patch series "powerpc/fadump: handle CMA activation failure appropriately", v3.
Commit 072355c1cf2d ("mm/cma: expose all pages to the buddy if
activation of an area fails") started exposing all pages to buddy
allocator on CMA activation failure. But there can be CMA users that
want to handle the reserved memory differently on CMA allocation
failure.
Provide an option to opt out from exposing pages to buddy for such
cases.

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

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

PF_SWAPWRITE has been redundant since v3.2 commit ee72886d8ed5 ("mm:
vmscan: do not writeback filesystem pages in direct reclaim").
Coincidentally, NeilBrown's current patch "remove inode_congested()"
deletes may_write_to_inode(), which appeared to be the one function which
took notice of PF_SWAPWRITE. But if you study the old logic, and the
conditions under which may_write_to_inode() was called, you discover that
flag and function have been pointless for a decade.

Userfaultfd is supposed to provide the full address (i.e., unmasked) of
the faulting access back to userspace. However, that is not the case for
quite some time.
Even running "userfaultfd_demo" from the userfaultfd man page provides the
wrong output (and contradicts the man page). Notice that
"UFFD_EVENT_PAGEFAULT event" shows the masked address (7fc5e30b3000) and
not the first read address (0x7fc5e30b300f).
Address returned by mmap() = 0x7fc5e30b3000
fault_handler_thread():
poll() returns: nready = 1; POLLIN = 1; POLLERR = 0
UFFD_EVENT_PAGEFAULT event: flags = 0; address = 7fc5e30b3000
(uffdio_copy.copy returned 4096)
Read address 0x7fc5e30b300f in main(): A
Read address 0x7fc5e30b340f in main(): A
Read address 0x7fc5e30b380f in main(): A
Read address 0x7fc5e30b3c0f in main(): A
The exact address is useful for various reasons and specifically for
prefetching decisions. If it is known that the memory is populated by
certain objects whose size is not page-aligned, then based on the faulting
address, the uffd-monitor can decide whether to prefetch and prefault the
adjacent page.
This bug has been for quite some time in the kernel: since commit
1a29d85eb0f1 ("mm: use vmf->address instead of of vmf->virtual_address")
vmf->virtual_address"), which dates back to 2016. A concern has been
raised that existing userspace application might rely on the old/wrong
behavior in which the address is masked. Therefore, it was suggested to
provide the masked address unless the user explicitly asks for the exact
address.
Add a new userfaultfd feature UFFD_FEATURE_EXACT_ADDRESS to direct
userfaultfd to provide the exact address. Add a new "real_address" field
to vmf to hold the unmasked address. Provide the address to userspace
accordingly.
Initialize real_address in various code-paths to be consistent with
address, even when it is not used, to be on the safe side.

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

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

| | | 5 | -----------------------+ | |
| | +-----------+ | |
| | | 6 | -------------------------+ |

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

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

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

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

Some places in the kernel don't really expect pageblock_order >=
MAX_ORDER, and it looks like this is only possible in corner cases:
1) CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT we'll end up freeing pageblock_order
pages via __free_pages_core(), which cannot possibly work.
2) find_zone_movable_pfns_for_nodes() will roundup the ZONE_MOVABLE
start PFN to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. Consequently with a bigger
pageblock_order, we could have a single pageblock partially managed by
two zones.
3) compaction code runs into __fragmentation_index() with order
>= MAX_ORDER, when checking WARN_ON_ONCE(order >= MAX_ORDER). [1]
4) mm/page_reporting.c won't be reporting any pages with default
page_reporting_order == pageblock_order, as we'll be skipping the
reporting loop inside page_reporting_process_zone().
5) __rmqueue_fallback() will never be able to steal with
ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT.
pageblock_order >= MAX_ORDER is weird either way: it's a pure
optimization for making alloc_contig_range(), as used for allcoation of
gigantic pages, a little more reliable to succeed. However, if there is
demand for somewhat reliable allocation of gigantic pages, affected
setups should be using CMA or boottime allocations instead.
So let's make sure that pageblock_order < MAX_ORDER and simplify.

Patch series "mm: enforce pageblock_order < MAX_ORDER".
Having pageblock_order >= MAX_ORDER seems to be able to happen in corner
cases and some parts of the kernel are not prepared for it.
For example, Aneesh has shown [1] that such kernels can be compiled on
ppc64 with 64k base pages by setting FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER=8, which will
run into a WARN_ON_ONCE(order >= MAX_ORDER) in comapction code right
during boot.
We can get pageblock_order >= MAX_ORDER when the default hugetlb size is
bigger than the maximum allocation granularity of the buddy, in which
case we are no longer talking about huge pages but instead gigantic
pages.
Having pageblock_order >= MAX_ORDER can only make alloc_contig_range()
of such gigantic pages more likely to succeed.
Reliable use of gigantic pages either requires boot time allcoation or
CMA, no need to overcomplicate some places in the kernel to optimize for
corner cases that are broken in other areas of the kernel.
This patch (of 2):
Let's enforce pageblock_order < MAX_ORDER and simplify.
Especially patch #1 can be regarded a cleanup before:
[PATCH v5 0/6] Use pageblock_order for cma and alloc_contig_range
alignment. [2]
