Page cache folios from a file system that support large block size (LBS)
can have minimal folio order greater than 0, thus a high order folio might
not be able to be split down to order-0. Commit e220917fa507 ("mm: split
a folio in minimum folio order chunks") bumps the target order of
split_huge_page*() to the minimum allowed order when splitting a LBS
folio. This causes confusion for some split_huge_page*() callers like
memory failure handling code, since they expect after-split folios all
have order-0 when split succeeds but in reality get min_order_for_split()
order folios and give warnings.
Fix it by failing a split if the folio cannot be split to the target
order. Rename try_folio_split() to try_folio_split_to_order() to reflect
the added new_order parameter. Remove its unused list parameter.
[The test poisons LBS folios, which cannot be split to order-0 folios, and
also tries to poison all memory. The non split LBS folios take more
memory than the test anticipated, leading to OOM. The patch fixed the
kernel warning and the test needs some change to avoid OOM.]

split_huge_page_to_list_[to_order](), split_huge_page() and
try_folio_split() return 0 on success and error codes on failure.
When THP is disabled, these functions return 0 indicating success even
though an error code should be returned as it is not possible to split a
folio when THP is disabled.
Make all these functions return -EINVAL to indicate failure instead of 0.
As large folios depend on CONFIG_THP, issue warning as this function
should not be called without a large folio.

Calling is_huge_zero_folio(NULL) should not be legal - it makes no sense,
and a different (theoretical) implementation may dereference the pointer.
But currently, lacking any explicit documentation, this call is possible.
But if somebody really passes NULL, the function should not return true -
this isn't the huge zero folio after all! However, if the
`huge_zero_folio` hasn't been allocated yet, it's NULL, and
is_huge_zero_folio(NULL) just happens to return true, which is a lie.
This weird side effect prevented me from reproducing a kernel crash that
occurred when the elements of a folio_batch were NULL - since
folios_put_refs() skips huge zero folios, this sometimes causes a crash,
but sometimes does not. For debugging, it is better to reveal such bugs
reliably and not hide them behind random preconditions like "has the huge
zero folio already been created?"
To improve detection of such bugs, David Hildenbrand suggested adding a
VM_WARN_ON_ONCE().

Let's allow for making MADV_COLLAPSE succeed on areas that neither have
VM_HUGEPAGE nor VM_NOHUGEPAGE when we have THP disabled unless explicitly
advised (PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED).
MADV_COLLAPSE is a clear advice that we want to collapse.
Note that we still respect the VM_NOHUGEPAGE flag, just like
MADV_COLLAPSE always does. So consequently, MADV_COLLAPSE is now only
refused on VM_NOHUGEPAGE with PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED,
including for shmem.

When determining which THP orders are eligible for a VMA mapping, we have
previously specified tva_flags, however it turns out it is really not
necessary to treat these as flags.
Rather, we distinguish between distinct modes.
The only case where we previously combined flags was with
TVA_ENFORCE_SYSFS, but we can avoid this by observing that this is the
default, except for MADV_COLLAPSE or an edge cases in
collapse_pte_mapped_thp() and hugepage_vma_revalidate(), and adding a mode
specifically for this case - TVA_FORCED_COLLAPSE.
We have:
* smaps handling for showing "THPeligible"
* Pagefault handling
* khugepaged handling
* Forced collapse handling: primarily MADV_COLLAPSE, but also for
an edge case in collapse_pte_mapped_thp()
Disregarding the edge cases, we only want to ignore sysfs settings only
when we are forcing a collapse through MADV_COLLAPSE, otherwise we want to
enforce it, hence this patch does the following flag to enum conversions:
* TVA_SMAPS | TVA_ENFORCE_SYSFS -> TVA_SMAPS
* TVA_IN_PF | TVA_ENFORCE_SYSFS -> TVA_PAGEFAULT
* TVA_ENFORCE_SYSFS -> TVA_KHUGEPAGED
* 0 -> TVA_FORCED_COLLAPSE
With this change, we immediately know if we are in the forced collapse
case, which will be valuable next.

Patch series "prctl: extend PR_SET_THP_DISABLE to only provide THPs when
advised", v5.
This will allow individual processes to opt-out of THP = "always" into THP
= "madvise", without affecting other workloads on the system. This has
been extensively discussed on the mailing list and has been summarized
very well by David in the first patch which also includes the links to
alternatives, please refer to the first patch commit message for the
motivation for this series.
Patch 1 adds the PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED flag to implement this,
along with the MMF changes.
Patch 2 is a cleanup patch for tva_flags that will allow the forced
collapse case to be transmitted to vma_thp_disabled (which is done in
patch 3).
Patch 4 adds documentation for PR_SET_THP_DISABLE/PR_GET_THP_DISABLE.
Patches 6-7 implement the selftests for PR_SET_THP_DISABLE for completely
disabling THPs (old behaviour) and only enabling it at advise
(PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED).
This patch (of 7):
People want to make use of more THPs, for example, moving from the "never"
system policy to "madvise", or from "madvise" to "always".
While this is great news for every THP desperately waiting to get
allocated out there, apparently there are some workloads that require a
bit of care during that transition: individual processes may need to
opt-out from this behavior for various reasons, and this should be
permitted without needing to make all other workloads on the system
similarly opt-out.
The following scenarios are imaginable:
(1) Switch from "none" system policy to "madvise"/"always", but keep THPs
disabled for selected workloads.
(2) Stay at "none" system policy, but enable THPs for selected
workloads, making only these workloads use the "madvise" or "always"
policy.
(3) Switch from "madvise" system policy to "always", but keep the
"madvise" policy for selected workloads: allocate THPs only when
advised.
(4) Stay at "madvise" system policy, but enable THPs even when not advised
for selected workloads -- "always" policy.
Once can emulate (2) through (1), by setting the system policy to
"madvise"/"always" while disabling THPs for all processes that don't want
THPs. It requires configuring all workloads, but that is a user-space
problem to sort out.
(4) can be emulated through (3) in a similar way.
Back when (1) was relevant in the past, as people started enabling THPs,
we added PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, so relevant workloads that were not ready yet
(i.e., used by Redis) were able to just disable THPs completely. Redis
still implements the option to use this interface to disable THPs
completely.
With PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, we added a way to force-disable THPs for a
workload -- a process, including fork+exec'ed process hierarchy. That
essentially made us support (1): simply disable THPs for all workloads
that are not ready for THPs yet, while still enabling THPs system-wide.
The quest for handling (3) and (4) started, but current approaches
(completely new prctl, options to set other policies per process,
alternatives to prctl -- mctrl, cgroup handling) don't look particularly
promising. Likely, the future will use bpf or something similar to
implement better policies, in particular to also make better decisions
about THP sizes to use, but this will certainly take a while as that work
just started.
Long story short: a simple enable/disable is not really suitable for the
future, so we're not willing to add completely new toggles.
While we could emulate (3)+(4) through (1)+(2) by simply disabling THPs
completely for these processes, this is a step backwards, because these
processes can no longer allocate THPs in regions where THPs were
explicitly advised: regions flagged as VM_HUGEPAGE. Apparently, that
imposes a problem for relevant workloads, because "not THPs" is certainly
worse than "THPs only when advised".
Could we simply relax PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, to "disable THPs unless not
explicitly advised by the app through MAD_HUGEPAGE"? *maybe*, but this
would change the documented semantics quite a bit, and the versatility to
use it for debugging purposes, so I am not 100% sure that is what we want
-- although it would certainly be much easier.
So instead, as an easy way forward for (3) and (4), add an option to
make PR_SET_THP_DISABLE disable *less* THPs for a process.
In essence, this patch:
(A) Adds PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED, to be used as a flag in arg3
of prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE) when disabling THPs (arg2 != 0).
prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, 1, PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED).
(B) Makes prctl(PR_GET_THP_DISABLE) return 3 if
PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED was set while disabling.
Previously, it would return 1 if THPs were disabled completely. Now
it returns the set flags as well: 3 if PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED
was set.
(C) Renames MMF_DISABLE_THP to MMF_DISABLE_THP_COMPLETELY, to express
the semantics clearly.
Fortunately, there are only two instances outside of prctl() code.
(D) Adds MMF_DISABLE_THP_EXCEPT_ADVISED to express "no THP except for VMAs
with VM_HUGEPAGE" -- essentially "thp=madvise" behavior
Fortunately, we only have to extend vma_thp_disabled().
(E) Indicates "THP_enabled: 0" in /proc/pid/status only if THPs are
disabled completely
Only indicating that THPs are disabled when they are really disabled
completely, not only partially.
For now, we don't add another interface to obtained whether THPs
are disabled partially (PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED was set). If
ever required, we could add a new entry.
The documented semantics in the man page for PR_SET_THP_DISABLE "is
inherited by a child created via fork(2) and is preserved across
execve(2)" is maintained. This behavior, for example, allows for
disabling THPs for a workload through the launching process (e.g., systemd
where we fork() a helper process to then exec()).
For now, MADV_COLLAPSE will *fail* in regions without VM_HUGEPAGE and
VM_NOHUGEPAGE. As MADV_COLLAPSE is a clear advise that user space thinks
a THP is a good idea, we'll enable that separately next (requiring a bit
of cleanup first).
There is currently not way to prevent that a process will not issue
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE itself to re-enable THP. There are not really known
users for re-enabling it, and it's against the purpose of the original
interface. So if ever required, we could investigate just forbidding to
re-enable them, or make this somehow configurable.

As part of the effort to move to mm->flags becoming a bitmap field,
convert existing users to making use of the mm_flags_*() accessors which
will, when the conversion is complete, be the only means of accessing
mm_struct flags.
This will result in the debug output being that of a bitmap output, which
will result in a minor change here, but since this is for debug only, this
should have no bearing.
Otherwise, no functional changes intended.

The callers of mm_get_huge_zero_folio() have access to a mm struct and the
lifetime of the huge_zero_folio is tied to the lifetime of the mm struct.
largest_zero_folio() will give access to huge_zero_folio when
PERSISTENT_HUGE_ZERO_FOLIO config option is enabled for callers that do
not want to tie the lifetime to a mm struct. This is very useful for
filesystem and block layers where the request completions can be async and
there is no guarantee on the mm struct lifetime.
This function will return a ZERO_PAGE folio if PERSISTENT_HUGE_ZERO_FOLIO
is disabled or if we failed to allocate a huge_zero_folio during early
init.

Many places in the kernel need to zero out larger chunks, but the maximum
segment that can be zeroed out at a time by ZERO_PAGE is limited by
PAGE_SIZE.
This is especially annoying in block devices and filesystems where
multiple ZERO_PAGEs are attached to the bio in different bvecs. With
multipage bvec support in block layer, it is much more efficient to send
out larger zero pages as a part of single bvec.
This concern was raised during the review of adding Large Block Size
support to XFS[1][2].
Usually huge_zero_folio is allocated on demand, and it will be deallocated
by the shrinker if there are no users of it left. At moment,
huge_zero_folio infrastructure refcount is tied to the process lifetime
that created it. This might not work for bio layer as the completions can
be async and the process that created the huge_zero_folio might no longer
be alive. And, one of the main points that came up during discussion is
to have something bigger than zero page as a drop-in replacement.
Add a config option PERSISTENT_HUGE_ZERO_FOLIO that will result in
allocating the huge zero folio during early init and never free the memory
by disabling the shrinker. This makes using the huge_zero_folio without
having to pass any mm struct and does not tie the lifetime of the zero
folio to anything, making it a drop-in replacement for ZERO_PAGE.
If PERSISTENT_HUGE_ZERO_FOLIO config option is enabled, then
mm_get_huge_zero_folio() will simply return the allocated page instead of
dynamically allocating a new PMD page.
Use this option carefully in resource constrained systems as it uses one
full PMD sized page for zeroing purposes.

Patch series "mm: introduce snapshot_page()", v3.
This series introduces snapshot_page(), a helper function that can be used
to create a snapshot of a struct page and its associated struct folio.
This function is intended to help callers with a consistent view of a a
folio while reducing the chance of encountering partially updated or
inconsistent state, such as during folio splitting which could lead to
crashes and BUG_ON()s being triggered.
This patch (of 4):
Let's avoid working with the PMD when not required. If
vm_normal_page_pmd() would be called on something that is not a present
pmd, it would already be a bug (pfn possibly garbage).
While at it, let's support passing in any pfn covered by the huge zero
folio by masking off PFN bits -- which should be rather cheap.

The madvise code has for the longest time had very confusing code around
the 'prev' VMA pointer passed around various functions which, in all cases
except madvise_update_vma(), is unused and instead simply updated as soon
as the function is invoked.
To compound the confusion, the prev pointer is also used to indicate to
the caller that the mmap lock has been dropped and that we can therefore
not safely access the end of the current VMA (which might have been
updated by madvise_update_vma()).
Clear up this confusion by not setting prev = vma anywhere except in
madvise_walk_vmas(), update all references to prev which will always be
equal to vma after madvise_vma_behavior() is invoked, and adding a flag to
indicate that the lock has been dropped to make this explicit.
Additionally, drop a redundant BUG_ON() from madvise_collapse(), which is
simply reiterating the BUG_ON(mmap_locked) above it (note that BUG_ON() is
not appropriate here, but we leave existing code as-is).
We finally adjust the madvise_walk_vmas() logic to be a little clearer -
delaying the assignment of the end of the range to the start of the new
range until the last moment and handling the lock being dropped scenario
immediately.
Additionally add some explanatory comments.

DAX was the only thing that created pmd_devmap and pud_devmap entries
however it no longer does as DAX pages are now refcounted normally and
pXd_trans_huge() returns true for those. Therefore checking both
pXd_devmap and pXd_trans_huge() is redundant and the former can be removed
without changing behaviour as it will always be false.

GUP uses pXX_devmap() calls to see if it needs to a get a reference on the
associated pgmap data structure to ensure the pages won't go away.
However it's a driver responsibility to ensure that if pages are mapped
(ie. discoverable by GUP) that they are not offlined or removed from the
memmap so there is no need to hold a reference on the pgmap data structure
to ensure this.
Furthermore mappings with PFN_DEV are no longer created, hence this
effectively dead code anyway so can be removed.

The core kernel code is currently very inconsistent in its use of
vm_flags_t vs. unsigned long. This prevents us from changing the type of
vm_flags_t in the future and is simply not correct, so correct this.
While this results in rather a lot of churn, it is a critical
pre-requisite for a future planned change to VMA flag type.
Additionally, update VMA userland tests to account for the changes.
To make review easier and to break things into smaller parts, driver and
architecture-specific changes is left for a subsequent commit.
The code has been adjusted to cascade the changes across all calling code
as far as is needed.
We will adjust architecture-specific and driver code in a subsequent patch.
Overall, this patch does not introduce any functional change.

Instead of splitting the large folio uniformly during truncation, try to
use buddy allocator like folio_split() at the start and the end of a
truncation range to minimize the number of resulting folios if it is
supported. try_folio_split() is introduced to use folio_split() if
supported and it falls back to uniform split otherwise.
For example, to truncate a order-4 folio
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ..., 15]
between [3, 10] (inclusive), folio_split() splits the folio at 3 to
[0,1], [2], [3], [4..7], [8..15] and [3], [4..7] can be dropped and
[8..15] is kept with zeros in [8..10], then another folio_split() is
done at 10, so [8..10] can be dropped.
One possible optimization is to make folio_split() to split a folio based
on a given range, like [3..10] above. But that complicates folio_split(),
so it will be investigated when necessary.

Currently DAX folio/page reference counts are managed differently to
normal pages. To allow these to be managed the same as normal pages
introduce vmf_insert_folio_pmd. This will map the entire PMD-sized folio
and take references as it would for a normally mapped page.
This is distinct from the current mechanism, vmf_insert_pfn_pmd, which
simply inserts a special devmap PMD entry into the page table without
holding a reference to the page for the mapping.
It is not currently useful to implement a more generic vmf_insert_folio()
which selects the correct behaviour based on folio_order(). This is
because PTE faults require only a subpage of the folio to be PTE mapped
rather than the entire folio. It would be possible to add this context
somewhere but callers already need to handle PTE faults and PMD faults
separately so a more generic function is not useful.

The adj_start calculation has been a constant source of confusion in the
VMA merge code.
There are two cases to consider, one where we adjust the start of the
vmg->middle VMA (i.e. the vmg->__adjust_middle_start merge flag is set),
in which case adj_start is calculated as:
(1) adj_start = vmg->end - vmg->middle->vm_start
And the case where we adjust the start of the vmg->next VMA (i.e. the
vmg->__adjust_next_start merge flag is set), in which case adj_start is
calculated as:
(2) adj_start = -(vmg->middle->vm_end - vmg->end)
We apply (1) thusly:
vmg->middle->vm_start =
vmg->middle->vm_start + vmg->end - vmg->middle->vm_start
Which simplifies to:
vmg->middle->vm_start = vmg->end
Similarly, we apply (2) as:
vmg->next->vm_start =
vmg->next->vm_start + -(vmg->middle->vm_end - vmg->end)
Noting that for these VMAs to be mergeable vmg->middle->vm_end ==
vmg->next->vm_start and so this simplifies to:
vmg->next->vm_start =
vmg->next->vm_start + -(vmg->next->vm_start - vmg->end)
Which simplifies to:
vmg->next->vm_start = vmg->end
Therefore in each case, we simply need to adjust the start of the VMA to
vmg->end (!) and can do away with this adj_start calculation. The only
caveat is that we must ensure we update the vm_pgoff field correctly.
We therefore abstract this entire calculation to a new function
vmg_adjust_set_range() which performs this calculation and sets the
adjusted VMA's new range using the general vma_set_range() function.
We also must update vma_adjust_trans_huge() which expects the
now-abstracted adj_start parameter. It turns out this is wholly
unnecessary.
In vma_adjust_trans_huge() the relevant code is:
if (adjust_next > 0) {
struct vm_area_struct *next = find_vma(vma->vm_mm, vma->vm_end);
unsigned long nstart = next->vm_start;
nstart += adjust_next;
split_huge_pmd_if_needed(next, nstart);
}
The only case where this is relevant is when vmg->__adjust_middle_start is
specified (in which case adj_next would have been positive), i.e. the one
in which the vma specified is vmg->prev and this the sought 'next' VMA
would be vmg->middle.
We can therefore eliminate the find_vma() invocation altogether and simply
provide the vmg->middle VMA in this instance, or NULL otherwise.
Again we have an adj_next offset calculation:
next->vm_start + vmg->end - vmg->middle->vm_start
Where next == vmg->middle this simplifies to vmg->end as previously
demonstrated.
Therefore nstart is equal to vmg->end, which is already passed to
vma_adjust_trans_huge() via the 'end' parameter and so this code (rather
delightfully) simplifies to:
if (next)
split_huge_pmd_if_needed(next, end);
With these changes in place, it becomes silly for commit_merge() to return
vmg->target, as it is always the same and threaded through vmg, so we
finally change commit_merge() to return an error value once again.
This patch has no change in functional behaviour.

Added a new MTHP_STAT_ZSWPOUT entry to the sysfs transparent_hugepage
stats so that successful large folio zswap stores can be accounted under
the per-order sysfs "zswpout" stats:
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-*kB/stats/zswpout
Other non-zswap swap device swap-out events will be counted under
the existing sysfs "swpout" stats:
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-*kB/stats/swpout
Also, added documentation for the newly added sysfs per-order hugepage
"zswpout" stats. The documentation clarifies that only non-zswap swapouts
will be accounted in the existing "swpout" stats.

The types of mm flags are now far beyond the core dump related features.
This patch moves mm flags from linux/sched/coredump.h to linux/mm_types.h.
The linux/sched/coredump.h has include the mm_types.h, so the C files
related to coredump does not need to change head file inclusion. In
addition, the inclusion of sched/coredump.h now can be deleted from the C
files that irrelevant to core dump.

Patch series "mm: don't install PMD mappings when THPs are disabled by the
hw/process/vma".
During testing, it was found that we can get PMD mappings in processes
where THP (and more precisely, PMD mappings) are supposed to be disabled.
While it works as expected for anon+shmem, the pagecache is the
problematic bit.
For s390 KVM this currently means that a VM backed by a file located on
filesystem with large folio support can crash when KVM tries accessing the
problematic page, because the readahead logic might decide to use a
PMD-sized THP and faulting it into the page tables will install a PMD
mapping, something that s390 KVM cannot tolerate.
This might also be a problem with HW that does not support PMD mappings,
but I did not try reproducing it.
Fix it by respecting the ways to disable THPs when deciding whether we can
install a PMD mapping. khugepaged should already be taking care of not
collapsing if THPs are effectively disabled for the hw/process/vma.
This patch (of 2):
Add vma_thp_disabled() and thp_disabled_by_hw() helpers to be shared by
shmem_allowable_huge_orders() and __thp_vma_allowable_orders().

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"Along with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series
in this pull request are:
- "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.

It constantly returns false since 2017. One assertion is added in 2019 but
it should never have triggered, IOW it means what is checked should be
asserted instead.
If it didn't exist for 7 years maybe it's good idea to remove it and only
add it when it comes.

Currently folio->_deferred_list is used to keep track of partially_mapped
folios that are going to be split under memory pressure. In the next
patch, all THPs that are faulted in and collapsed by khugepaged are also
going to be tracked using _deferred_list.
This patch introduces a pageflag to be able to distinguish between
partially mapped folios and others in the deferred_list at split time in
deferred_split_scan. Its needed as __folio_remove_rmap decrements
_mapcount, _large_mapcount and _entire_mapcount, hence it won't be
possible to distinguish between partially mapped folios and others in
deferred_split_scan.
Eventhough it introduces an extra flag to track if the folio is partially
mapped, there is no functional change intended with this patch and the
flag is not useful in this patch itself, it will become useful in the next
patch when _deferred_list has non partially mapped folios.

When a THP is added to the deferred_list due to partially mapped, its
partial pages are unused, leading to wasted memory and potentially
increasing memory reclamation pressure.
Detailing the specifics of how unmapping occurs is quite difficult and not
that useful, so we adopt a simple approach: each time a THP enters the
deferred_list, we increment the count by 1; whenever it leaves for any
reason, we decrement the count by 1.

Patch series "mm: count the number of anonymous THPs per size", v4.
Knowing the number of transparent anon THPs in the system is crucial
for performance analysis. It helps in understanding the ratio and
distribution of THPs versus small folios throughout the system.
Additionally, partial unmapping by userspace can lead to significant waste
of THPs over time and increase memory reclamation pressure. We need this
information for comprehensive system tuning.
This patch (of 2):
Let's track for each anonymous THP size, how many of them are currently
allocated. We'll track the complete lifespan of an anon THP, starting
when it becomes an anon THP ("large anon folio") (->mapping gets set),
until it gets freed (->mapping gets cleared).
Introduce a new "nr_anon" counter per THP size and adjust the
corresponding counter in the following cases:
* We allocate a new THP and call folio_add_new_anon_rmap() to map
it the first time and turn it into an anon THP.
* We split an anon THP into multiple smaller ones.
* We migrate an anon THP, when we prepare the destination.
* We free an anon THP back to the buddy.
Note that AnonPages in /proc/meminfo currently tracks the total number of
*mapped* anonymous *pages*, and therefore has slightly different
semantics. In the future, we might also want to track "nr_anon_mapped"
for each THP size, which might be helpful when comparing it to the number
of allocated anon THPs (long-term pinning, stuck in swapcache, memory
leaks, ...).
Further note that for now, we only track anon THPs after they got their
->mapping set, for example via folio_add_new_anon_rmap(). If we would
allocate some in the swapcache, they will only show up in the statistics
for now after they have been mapped to user space the first time, where we
call folio_add_new_anon_rmap().

Patch series "Shmem mTHP controls and stats improvements", v3.
This is a small series to tidy up the way the shmem controls and stats are
exposed. These patches were previously part of the series at [2], but I
decided to split them out since they can go in independently.
This patch (of 2):
Let's move count_mthp_stat() so that it's always defined, even when THP is
disabled. Previously uses of the function in files such as shmem.c, which
are compiled even when THP is disabled, required ugly THP ifdeferry. With
this cleanup, we can remove those ifdefs and the function resolves to a
nop when THP is disabled.
I shortly plan to call count_mthp_stat() from more THP-invariant source
files.

split_folio() and split_folio_to_list() assume order 0, to support
minorder for non-anonymous folios, we must expand these to check the
folio mapping order and use that.
Set new_order to be at least minimum folio order if it is set in
split_huge_page_to_list() so that we can maintain minimum folio order
requirement in the page cache.
Update the debugfs write files used for testing to ensure the order
is respected as well. We simply enforce the min order when a file
mapping is used.

This is only relevant to the two archs that support PUD dax, aka, x86_64
and ppc64. PUD THPs do not yet exist elsewhere, and hugetlb PUDs do not
count in this case.
DAX have had PUD mappings for years, but change protection path never
worked. When the path is triggered in any form (a simple test program
would be: call mprotect() on a 1G dev_dax mapping), the kernel will report
"bad pud". This patch should fix that.
The new change_huge_pud() tries to keep everything simple. For example,
it doesn't optimize write bit as that will need even more PUD helpers.
It's not too bad anyway to have one more write fault in the worst case
once for 1G range; may be a bigger thing for each PAGE_SIZE, though.
Neither does it support userfault-wp bits, as there isn't such PUD
mappings that is supported; file mappings always need a split there.
The same to TLB shootdown: the pmd path (which was for x86 only) has the
trick of using _ad() version of pmdp_invalidate*() which can avoid one
redundant TLB, but let's also leave that for later. Again, the larger the
mapping, the smaller of such effect.
There's some difference on handling "retry" for change_huge_pud() (where
it can return 0): it isn't like change_huge_pmd(), as the pmd version is
safe with all conditions handled in change_pte_range() later, thanks to
Hugh's new pte_offset_map_lock(). In short, change_pte_range() is simply
smarter. For that, change_pud_range() will need proper retry if it races
with something else when a huge PUD changed from under us.
The last thing to mention is currently the PUD path ignores the huge pte
numa counter (NUMA_HUGE_PTE_UPDATES), not only because DAX is not
applicable to NUMA, but also that it's ambiguous on its own to decide how
to account pud in this case. In one earlier version of this patchset I
proposed to remove the counter as it doesn't even look right to do the
accounting as of now [1], but then a further discussion suggests we can
leave that for later, as that doesn't block this series if we choose to
ignore that counter. That's what this patch does, by ignoring it.
When at it, touch up the comment in pgtable_split_needed() to make it
generic to either pmd or pud file THPs.

xarray can't support arbitrary page cache size. the largest and supported
page cache size is defined as MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER by commit 099d90642a71
("mm/filemap: make MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER acceptable to xarray"). However,
it's possible to have 512MB page cache in the huge memory's collapsing

breaking the limitation and a warning is raised when the xarray entry is
split as shown in the following example.

The legacy PMD-sized THP counters at /proc/vmstat include thp_file_alloc,
thp_file_fallback and thp_file_fallback_charge, which rather confusingly
refer to shmem THP and do not include any other types of file pages. This
is inconsistent since in most other places in the kernel, THP counters are
explicitly separated for anon, shmem and file flavours. However, we are
stuck with it since it constitutes a user ABI.
Recently, commit 66f44583f9b6 ("mm: shmem: add mTHP counters for anonymous
shmem") added equivalent mTHP stats for shmem, keeping the same "file_"
prefix in the names. But in future, we may want to add extra stats to
cover actual file pages, at which point, it would all become very
confusing.
So let's take the opportunity to rename these new counters "shmem_" before
the change makes it upstream and the ABI becomes immutable. While we are
at it, let's improve the documentation for the legacy counters to make it
clear that they count shmem pages only.

Since the introduction of mTHP, the docuementation has stated that
khugepaged would be enabled when any mTHP size is enabled, and disabled
when all mTHP sizes are disabled. There are 2 problems with this; 1.
this is not what was implemented by the code and 2. this is not the
desirable behavior.
Desirable behavior is for khugepaged to be enabled when any PMD-sized THP
is enabled, anon or file. (Note that file THP is still controlled by the
top-level control so we must always consider that, as well as the PMD-size
mTHP control for anon). khugepaged only supports collapsing to PMD-sized
THP so there is no value in enabling it when PMD-sized THP is disabled.
So let's change the code and documentation to reflect this policy.
Further, per-size enabled control modification events were not previously
forwarded to khugepaged to give it an opportunity to start or stop.
Consequently the following was resulting in khugepaged eroneously not
being activated:
echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-2048kB/enabled

At present, the split counters in THP statistics no longer include
PTE-mapped mTHP. Therefore, we want to introduce per-order mTHP split
counters to monitor the frequency of mTHP splits. This will assist

When the user no longer requires the pages, they would use
madvise(MADV_FREE) to mark the pages as lazy free. Subsequently, they
typically would not re-write to that memory again.
During memory reclaim, if we detect that the large folio and its PMD are
both still marked as clean and there are no unexpected references (such as
GUP), so we can just discard the memory lazily, improving the efficiency
of memory reclamation in this case.
On an Intel i5 CPU, reclaiming 1GiB of lazyfree THPs using
mem_cgroup_force_empty() results in the following runtimes in seconds
(shorter is better):

Commit 19eaf44954df adds multi-size THP (mTHP) for anonymous pages, that
can allow THP to be configured through the sysfs interface located at
'/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepage-XXkb/enabled'.
However, the anonymous shmem will ignore the anonymous mTHP rule
configured through the sysfs interface, and can only use the PMD-mapped
THP, that is not reasonable. Users expect to apply the mTHP rule for all
anonymous pages, including the anonymous shmem, in order to enjoy the
benefits of mTHP. For example, lower latency than PMD-mapped THP, smaller
memory bloat than PMD-mapped THP, contiguous PTEs on ARM architecture to
reduce TLB miss etc. In addition, the mTHP interfaces can be extended to
support all shmem/tmpfs scenarios in the future, especially for the shmem
mmap() case.
The primary strategy is similar to supporting anonymous mTHP. Introduce a
new interface '/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepage-XXkb/shmem_enabled',
which can have almost the same values as the top-level
'/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled', with adding a new
additional "inherit" option and dropping the testing options 'force' and
'deny'. By default all sizes will be set to "never" except PMD size,
which is set to "inherit". This ensures backward compatibility with the
anonymous shmem enabled of the top level, meanwhile also allows
independent control of anonymous shmem enabled for each mTHP.

To support the use of mTHP with anonymous shmem, add a new sysfs interface
'shmem_enabled' in the '/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-kB/'
directory for each mTHP to control whether shmem is enabled for that mTHP,
with a value similar to the top level 'shmem_enabled', which can be set
to: "always", "inherit (to inherit the top level setting)", "within_size",
"advise", "never". An 'inherit' option is added to ensure compatibility
with these global settings, and the options 'force' and 'deny' are
dropped, which are rather testing artifacts from the old ages.
By default, PMD-sized hugepages have enabled="inherit" and all other
hugepage sizes have enabled="never" for
'/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-xxkB/shmem_enabled'.
In addition, if top level value is 'force', then only PMD-sized hugepages
have enabled="inherit", otherwise configuration will be failed and vice
versa. That means now we will avoid using non-PMD sized THP to override
the global huge allocation.

huge_anon_orders_always is accessed lockless, it is better to use the
READ_ONCE() wrapper. This is not fixing any visible bug, hopefully this
can cease some KCSAN complains in the future. Also do that for
huge_anon_orders_madvise.

The mTHP swap related counters: 'anon_swpout' and 'anon_swpout_fallback'
are confusing with an 'anon_' prefix, since the shmem can swap out
non-anonymous pages. So drop the 'anon_' prefix to keep consistent with
the old swap counter names.
This is needed in 6.10-rcX to avoid having an inconsistent ABI out in the
field.
