xen: avoid another early crash of memory limited dom0
Commit b1c9f169047b ("xen: split counting of extra memory pages...")
introduced an error when dom0 was started with limited memory occurring
only on some hardware.
The problem arises in case dom0 is started with initial memory and
maximum memory being the same. The kernel must be configured without
CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG for the problem to happen. If all
of this is true and the E820 map of the machine is sparse (some areas
are not covered) then the machine might crash early in the boot
process.
An example E820 map triggering the problem looks like this:
In this case the area a0000-dffff isn't present in the map. This will
confuse the memory setup of the domain when remapping the memory from
such holes to populated areas.
To avoid the problem the accounting of to be remapped memory has to
count such holes in the E820 map as well.

Commit b1c9f169047b ("xen: split counting of extra memory pages...")
introduced an error when dom0 was started with limited memory.
The problem arises in case dom0 is started with initial memory and
maximum memory being the same and exactly a multiple of 1 GB. The
kernel must be configured without CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG
for the problem to happen. In this case it will crash very early
during boot due to the virtual mapped p2m list not being large
enough to be able to remap any memory:
This can be avoided by allocating aneough space for the p2m to cover

for PCI space, BIOS etc.

NFSv4: Respect the server imposed limit on how many changes we may cache
The NFSv4 delegation spec allows the server to tell a client to limit how
much data it cache after the file is closed. In return, the server
guarantees enough free space to avoid ENOSPC situations, etc.
Prior to this patch, we assumed we could always cache aggressively after
close. Unfortunately, this causes problems with servers that set the
limit to 0 and therefore do not offer any ENOSPC guarantees.
Since we're tracking modifications to the page cache on a per-page
basis, it makes sense to express the limit to how much we may cache
in units of pages.

Later, commit ac3d0da8f329 added yet another loop to reverse a list,
bringing back the latency spike :
I've seen in some cases this loop taking 275 ms, if for example a
process with 2,000,000 files is killed.
We could add yet another cond_resched() in the reverse loop, or we
can simply remove the reversal, as I do not think anything

mm: memcontrol: bring back the VM_BUG_ON() in mem_cgroup_swapout()
Clark stumbled over a VM_BUG_ON() in -RT which was then was removed by
Johannes in commit f371763a79d ("mm: memcontrol: fix false-positive
VM_BUG_ON() on -rt"). The comment before that patch was a tiny bit better
than it is now. While the patch claimed to fix a false-postive on -RT
this was not the case. None of the -RT folks ACKed it and it was not a
false positive report. That was a *real* problem.
This patch updates the comment that is improper because it refers to
"disabled preemption" as a consequence of that lock being taken. A
spin_lock() disables preemption, true, but in this case the code relies on
the fact that the lock _also_ disables interrupts once it is acquired.
And this is the important detail (which was checked the VM_BUG_ON()) which
needs to be pointed out. This is the hint one needs while looking at the
code. It was explained by Johannes on the list that the per-CPU variables
are protected by local_irq_save(). The BUG_ON() was helpful. This code
has been workarounded in -RT in the meantime. I wouldn't mind running
into more of those if the code in question uses *special* kind of locking
since now there is no verification (in terms of lockdep or BUG_ON()) and
therefore I bring the VM_BUG_ON() check back in.
The two functions after the comment could also have a "local_irq_save()"
dance around them in order to serialize access to the per-CPU variables.
This has been avoided because the interrupts should be off.

The main idea of the change is to allow registration of independent

genalloc: add name arg to gen_pool_get() and devm_gen_pool_create()
This change modifies gen_pool_get() and devm_gen_pool_create() client
interfaces adding one more argument "name" of a gen_pool object.
Due to implementation gen_pool_get() is capable to retrieve only one
gen_pool associated with a device even if multiple gen_pools are created,
fortunately right at the moment it is sufficient for the clients, hence
provide NULL as a valid argument on both producer devm_gen_pool_create()

Because only one created gen_pool per device is addressable, explicitly
add a restriction to devm_gen_pool_create() to create only one gen_pool
per device, this implies two possible error codes returned by the
function, account it on client side (only misc/sram). This completes

If a PTE is unmapped and it's dirty then it was writable recently. Due to
deferred TLB flushing, it's best to assume a writable TLB cache entry
exists. With that assumption, the TLB must be flushed before any IO can
start or the page is freed to avoid lost writes or data corruption. This
patch defers flushing of potentially writable TLBs as long as possible.

mm: send one IPI per CPU to TLB flush all entries after unmapping pages
An IPI is sent to flush remote TLBs when a page is unmapped that was
potentially accesssed by other CPUs. There are many circumstances where
this happens but the obvious one is kswapd reclaiming pages belonging to a
running process as kswapd and the task are likely running on separate
CPUs.
On small machines, this is not a significant problem but as machine gets
larger with more cores and more memory, the cost of these IPIs can be
high. This patch uses a simple structure that tracks CPUs that
potentially have TLB entries for pages being unmapped. When the unmapping
is complete, the full TLB is flushed on the assumption that a refill cost
is lower than flushing individual entries.
Architectures wishing to do this must give the following guarantee.
If a clean page is unmapped and not immediately flushed, the
architecture must guarantee that a write to that linear address
from a CPU with a cached TLB entry will trap a page fault.
This is essentially what the kernel already depends on but the window is
much larger with this patch applied and is worth highlighting. The
architecture should consider whether the cost of the full TLB flush is
higher than sending an IPI to flush each individual entry. An additional
architecture helper called flush_tlb_local is required. It's a trivial
wrapper with some accounting in the x86 case.
The impact of this patch depends on the workload as measuring any benefit
requires both mapped pages co-located on the LRU and memory pressure. The
case with the biggest impact is multiple processes reading mapped pages
taken from the vm-scalability test suite. The test case uses NR_CPU
readers of mapped files that consume 10*RAM.

System 5804.93 4111.76

This is showing that the readers completed 24.40% faster with 29% less
system CPU time. From vmstats, it is known that the vanilla kernel was
interrupted roughly 900K times per second during the steady phase of the
test and the patched kernel was interrupts 180K times per second.

It's still a noticeable improvement with vmstat showing interrupts went
from roughly 500K per second to 45K per second.
The patch will have no impact on workloads with no memory pressure or have
relatively few mapped pages. It will have an unpredictable impact on the
workload running on the CPU being flushed as it'll depend on how many TLB
entries need to be refilled and how long that takes. Worst case, the TLB
will be completely cleared of active entries when the target PFNs were not
resident at all.

When unmapping pages it is necessary to flush the TLB. If that page was
accessed by another CPU then an IPI is used to flush the remote CPU. That
is a lot of IPIs if kswapd is scanning and unmapping >100K pages per
second.
There already is a window between when a page is unmapped and when it is
TLB flushed. This series increases the window so multiple pages can be
flushed using a single IPI. This should be safe or the kernel is hosed
already.
Patch 1 simply made the rest of the series easier to write as ftrace
could identify all the senders of TLB flush IPIS.
Patch 2 tracks what CPUs potentially map a PFN and then sends an IPI
to flush the entire TLB.
Patch 3 tracks when there potentially are writable TLB entries that
need to be batched differently
Patch 4 increases SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX to further batch flushes
The performance impact is documented in the changelogs but in the optimistic
case on a 4-socket machine the full series reduces interrupts from 900K
interrupts/second to 60K interrupts/second.
This patch (of 4):
It is easy to trace when an IPI is received to flush a TLB but harder to
detect what event sent it. This patch makes it easy to identify the
source of IPIs being transmitted for TLB flushes on x86.

userfaultfd: allow signals to interrupt a userfault
This is only simple to achieve if the userfault is going to return to
userland (not to the kernel) because we can avoid returning VM_FAULT_RETRY
despite we temporarily released the mmap_sem. The fault would just be
retried by userland then. This is safe at least on x86 and powerpc (the
two archs with the syscall implemented so far).
Hint to verify for which archs this is safe: after handle_mm_fault
returns, no access to data structures protected by the mmap_sem must be
done by the fault code in arch/*/mm/fault.c until up_read(&mm->mmap_sem)
is called.
This has two main benefits: signals can run with lower latency in
production (signals aren't blocked by userfaults and userfaults are
immediately repeated after signal processing) and gdb can then trivially
debug the threads blocked in this kind of userfaults coming directly from
userland.
On a side note: while gdb has a need to get signal processed, coredumps
always worked perfectly with userfaults, no matter if the userfault is
triggered by GUP a kernel copy_user or directly from userland.

userfaultfd: solve the race between UFFDIO_COPY|ZEROPAGE and read
Solve in-kernel the race between UFFDIO_COPY|ZEROPAGE and
userfaultfd_read if they are run on different threads simultaneously.
Until now qemu solved the race in userland: the race was explicitly
and intentionally left for userland to solve. However we can also
solve it in kernel.
Requiring all users to solve this race if they use two threads (one
for the background transfer and one for the userfault reads) isn't
very attractive from an API prospective, furthermore this allows to
remove a whole bunch of mutex and bitmap code from qemu, making it
faster. The cost of __get_user_pages_fast should be insignificant
considering it scales perfectly and the pagetables are already hot in
the CPU cache, compared to the overhead in userland to maintain those
structures.
Applying this patch is backwards compatible with respect to the
userfaultfd userland API, however reverting this change wouldn't be
backwards compatible anymore.
Without this patch qemu in the background transfer thread, has to read
the old state, and do UFFDIO_WAKE if old_state is missing but it
become REQUESTED by the time it tries to set it to RECEIVED (signaling
the other side received an userfault).
This is an optimization but it's a userland visible one and it affects
the API.
The downside of this optimization is that if you call poll() and you
get POLLIN, read(ufd) may still return -EAGAIN. The blocked userfault
may be waken by a different thread, before read(ufd) comes
around. This in short means that poll() isn't really usable if the
userfaultfd is opened in blocking mode.
userfaults won't wait in "pending" state to be read anymore and any
UFFDIO_WAKE or similar operations that has the objective of waking
userfaults after their resolution, will wake all blocked userfaults
for the resolved range, including those that haven't been read() by
userland yet.
The behavior of poll() becomes not standard, but this obviates the
need of "spurious" UFFDIO_WAKE and it lets the userland threads to
restart immediately without requiring an UFFDIO_WAKE. This is even
more significant in case of repeated faults on the same address from
multiple threads.
This optimization is justified by the measurement that the number of
spurious UFFDIO_WAKE accounts for 5% and 10% of the total

userfaultfd: change the read API to return a uffd_msg
I had requests to return the full address (not the page aligned one) to
userland.
It's not entirely clear how the page offset could be relevant because
userfaults aren't like SIGBUS that can sigjump to a different place and it
actually skip resolving the fault depending on a page offset. There's
currently no real way to skip the fault especially because after a
UFFDIO_COPY|ZEROPAGE, the fault is optimized to be retried within the
kernel without having to return to userland first (not even self modifying
code replacing the .text that touched the faulting address would prevent
the fault to be repeated). Userland cannot skip repeating the fault even
more so if the fault was triggered by a KVM secondary page fault or any
get_user_pages or any copy-user inside some syscall which will return to
kernel code. The second time FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT won't be set leading
to a SIGBUS being raised because the userfault can't wait if it cannot
release the mmap_map first (and FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT is required for
that).
Still returning userland a proper structure during the read() on the uffd,
can allow to use the current UFFD_API for the future non-cooperative
extensions too and it looks cleaner as well. Once we get additional
fields there's no point to return the fault address page aligned anymore
to reuse the bits below PAGE_SHIFT.
The only downside is that the read() syscall will read 32bytes instead of
8bytes but that's not going to be measurable overhead.
The total number of new events that can be extended or of new future bits
for already shipped events, is limited to 64 by the features field of the
uffdio_api structure. If more will be needed a bump of UFFD_API will be
required.

userfaultfd: prevent khugepaged to merge if userfaultfd is armed
If userfaultfd is armed on a certain vma we can't "fill" the holes with
zeroes or we'll break the userland on demand paging. The holes if the
userfault is armed, are really missing information (not zeroes) that the
userland has to load from network or elsewhere.
The same issue happens for wrprotected ptes that we can't just convert
into a single writable pmd_trans_huge.
We could however in theory still merge across zeropages if only
VM_UFFD_MISSING is set (so if VM_UFFD_WP is not set)... that could be
slightly improved but it'd be much more complex code for a tiny corner

This is the latest userfaultfd patchset. The postcopy live migration
feature on the qemu side is mostly ready to be merged and it entirely
depends on the userfaultfd syscall to be merged as well. So it'd be great
if this patchset could be reviewed for merging in -mm.
Userfaults allow to implement on demand paging from userland and more
generally they allow userland to more efficiently take control of the
behavior of page faults than what was available before (PROT_NONE +
SIGSEGV trap).
The use cases are:
1) KVM postcopy live migration (one form of cloud memory
externalization).
KVM postcopy live migration is the primary driver of this work:
3) KVM postcopy live snapshotting (allowing to limit/throttle the
memory usage, unlike fork would, plus the avoidance of fork
overhead in the first place).
While the wrprotect tracking is not implemented yet, the syscall API is
already contemplating the wrprotect fault tracking and it's generic enough
to allow its later implementation in a backwards compatible fashion.
4) KVM userfaults on shared memory. The UFFDIO_COPY lowlevel method
should be extended to work also on tmpfs and then the
uffdio_register.ioctls will notify userland that UFFDIO_COPY is
available even when the registered virtual memory range is tmpfs
backed.
5) alternate mechanism to notify web browsers or apps on embedded
devices that volatile pages have been reclaimed. This basically
avoids the need to run a syscall before the app can access with the
CPU the virtual regions marked volatile. This depends on point 4)
to be fulfilled first, as volatile pages happily apply to tmpfs.
Even though there wasn't a real use case requesting it yet, it also
allows to implement distributed shared memory in a way that readonly
shared mappings can exist simultaneously in different hosts and they
can be become exclusive at the first wrprotect fault.

mm/slub: don't wait for high-order page allocation
Description is almost copied from commit fb05e7a89f50 ("net: don't wait
for order-3 page allocation").
I saw excessive direct memory reclaim/compaction triggered by slub. This
causes performance issues and add latency. Slub uses high-order
allocation to reduce internal fragmentation and management overhead. But,
direct memory reclaim/compaction has high overhead and the benefit of
high-order allocation can't compensate the overhead of both work.
This patch makes auxiliary high-order allocation atomic. If there is no
memory pressure and memory isn't fragmented, the alloction will still
success, so we don't sacrifice high-order allocation's benefit here. If
the atomic allocation fails, direct memory reclaim/compaction will not be
triggered, allocation fallback to low-order immediately, hence the direct
memory reclaim/compaction overhead is avoided. In the allocation failure
case, kswapd is waken up and trying to make high-order freepages, so
allocation could success next time.
Following is the test to measure effect of this patch.

This implements SLUB specific kmem_cache_free_bulk(). SLUB allocator now
both have bulk alloc and free implemented.
Choose to reenable local IRQs while calling slowpath __slab_free(). In
worst case, where all objects hit slowpath call, the performance should
still be faster than fallback function __kmem_cache_free_bulk(), because
local_irq_{disable+enable} is very fast (7-cycles), while the fallback
invokes this_cpu_cmpxchg() which is slightly slower (9-cycles).
Nitpicking, this should be faster for N>=4, due to the entry cost of
local_irq_{disable+enable}.
Do notice that the save+restore variant is very expensive, this is key to
why this optimization works.
Call slowpath __slab_alloc() from within the bulk loop, as the side-effect
of this call likely repopulates c->freelist.

Saving some optimizations for later. E.g. it is possible to extract

cycles) local_irq_{save,restore}. For now, be happy calling
__slab_alloc() this lower icache impact of this func and I don't have to
worry about correctness.

If we are allocating lots of objects then it is advantageous to disable
interrupts and avoid the this_cpu_cmpxchg() operation to get these objects
faster.
Note that we cannot do the fast operation if debugging is enabled, because
we would have to add extra code to do all the debugging checks. And it
would not be fast anyway.
Note also that the requirement of having interrupts disabled avoids having
to do processor flag operations.
Allocate as many objects as possible in the fast way and then fall back to
the generic implementation for the rest of the objects.

avoid taking locks repeatedly and bypass metadata creation if all objects

freeing and just fall back to those if optimizations would not work (like

With this patchset the SLUB allocator now has both bulk alloc and free
implemented.
This patchset mostly optimizes the "fastpath" where objects are available
on the per CPU fastpath page. This mostly amortize the less-heavy
none-locked cmpxchg_double used on fastpath.
The "fallback" bulking (e.g __kmem_cache_free_bulk) provides a good basis
for comparison. Measurements[1] of the fallback functions
__kmem_cache_{free,alloc}_bulk have been copied from slab_common.c and
forced "noinline" to force a function call like slab_common.c.
Measurements on CPU CPU i7-4790K @ 4.00GHz
Baseline normal fastpath (alloc+free cost): 42 cycles(tsc) 10.601 ns
Benchmarking shows impressive improvements in the "fastpath" with a small
number of objects in the working set. Once the working set increases,
resulting in activating the "slowpath" (that contains the heavier locked
cmpxchg_double) the improvement decreases.
I'm currently working on also optimizing the "slowpath" (as network stack
use-case hits this), but this patchset should provide a good foundation
for further improvements. Rest of my patch queue in this area needs some
more work, but preliminary results are good. I'm attending Netfilter
Workshop[2] next week, and I'll hopefully return working on further
improvements in this area.

watchdog: introduce watchdog_suspend() and watchdog_resume()
This interface can be utilized to deactivate the hard and soft lockup
detector temporarily. Callers are expected to minimize the duration of
deactivation. Multiple deactivations are allowed to occur in parallel but
should be rare in practice.
watchdog: introduce watchdog_park_threads() and watchdog_unpark_threads()
Originally watchdog_nmi_enable(cpu) and watchdog_nmi_disable(cpu) were
only called in watchdog thread context. However, the following commits
utilize these functions outside of watchdog thread context too.
watchdog: Add watchdog enable/disable all functions
Hence, it is now possible that these functions execute concurrently with
the same 'cpu' argument. This concurrency is problematic because per-cpu
'watchdog_ev' can be accessed/modified without adequate synchronization.
The patch series aims to address the above problem. However, instead of
introducing locks to protect per-cpu 'watchdog_ev' a different approach is
taken: Invoke these functions by parking and unparking the watchdog
threads (to ensure they are always called in watchdog thread context).
Both previously mentioned commits call these functions in a similar way
and thus in principle contain some duplicate code. The patch series also
avoids this duplication by providing a commonly usable mechanism.
- Patch 1/4 introduces the watchdog_{park|unpark}_threads functions that
park/unpark all watchdog threads specified in 'watchdog_cpumask'. They
are intended to be called inside of kernel/watchdog.c only.
- Patch 2/4 introduces the watchdog_{suspend|resume} functions which can
be utilized by external callers to deactivate the hard and soft lockup
detector temporarily.
A few corner cases should be mentioned here for completeness.
- kthread_park() of watchdog/N could hang if cpu N is already locked up.
However, if watchdog is enabled the lockup will be detected anyway.
- kthread_unpark() of watchdog/N could hang if cpu N got locked up after
kthread_park(). The occurrence of this scenario should be _very_ rare
in practice, in particular because it is not expected that temporary
deactivation will happen frequently, and if it happens at all it is
expected that the duration of deactivation will be short.
This patch (of 4): introduce watchdog_park_threads() and watchdog_unpark_threads()
These functions are intended to be used only from inside kernel/watchdog.c
to park/unpark all watchdog threads that are specified in
watchdog_cpumask.

kernel/watchdog: move NMI function header declarations from watchdog.h to nmi.h
The kernel's NMI watchdog has nothing to do with the watchdog subsystem.
Its header declarations should be in linux/nmi.h, not linux/watchdog.h.
The code provided two sets of dummy functions if HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR is
not configured, one in the include file and one in kernel/watchdog.c.
Remove the dummy functions from kernel/watchdog.c and use those from the
include file.

smpboot: allow passing the cpumask on per-cpu thread registration
It makes the registration cheaper and simpler for the smpboot per-cpu
kthread users that don't need to always update the cpumask after threads
creation.

The per-cpu kthread cleanup() callback is the mirror of the setup()
callback. When the per-cpu kthread is started, it first calls setup()
to initialize the resources which are then released by cleanup() when
the kthread exits.
Now since the introduction of a per-cpu kthread cpumask, the kthreads
excluded by the cpumask on boot may happen to be parked immediately
after their creation without taking the setup() stage, waiting to be
asked to unpark to do so. Then when smpboot_unregister_percpu_thread()
is later called, the kthread is stopped without having ever called
setup().
But this triggers a bug as the kthread unconditionally calls cleanup()
on exit but this doesn't mirror any setup(). Thus the kernel crashes
because we try to free resources that haven't been initialized, as in
the watchdog case:
This bug is currently masked with explicit kthread unparking before
kthread_stop() on smpboot_destroy_threads(). This forces a call to
setup() and then unpark().
We could fix this by unconditionally calling setup() on kthread entry.
But setup() isn't always cheap. In the case of watchdog it launches
hrtimer, perf events, etc... So we may as well like to skip it if there
are chances the kthread will never be used, as in a reduced cpumask value.
So let's simply do a state machine check before calling cleanup() that
makes sure setup() has been called before mirroring it.
And remove the nasty hack workaround.

Many file systems that implement the show_options hook fail to correctly
escape their output which could lead to unescaped characters (e.g. new
lines) leaking into /proc/mounts and /proc/[pid]/mountinfo files. This
could lead to confusion, spoofed entries (resulting in things like
systemd issuing false d-bus "mount" notifications), and who knows what
else. This looks like it would only be the root user stepping on
themselves, but it's possible weird things could happen in containers or
in other situations with delegated mount privileges.
Here's an example using overlay with setuid fusermount trusting the
contents of /proc/mounts (via the /etc/mtab symlink). Imagine the use
of "sudo" is something more sneaky:
This fixes the problem by adding new seq_show_option and
seq_show_option_n helpers, and updating the vulnerable show_option
handlers to use them as needed. Some, like SELinux, need to be open
coded due to unusual existing escape mechanisms.

ocfs2: do not set fs read-only if rec[0] is empty while committing truncate
While appending an extent to a file, it will call these functions:
ocfs2_insert_extent
-> call ocfs2_grow_tree() if there's no free rec
-> ocfs2_add_branch add a new branch to extent tree,
now rec[0] in the leaf of rightmost path is empty
-> ocfs2_do_insert_extent

-> jbd2_journal_restart if jbd2_journal_extend fail
-> ocfs2_insert_at_leaf

Function jbd2_journal_restart() may be called and it may happened that
buffers dirtied in ocfs2_add_branch() are committed
while buffers dirtied in ocfs2_insert_at_leaf() and
ocfs2_et_update_clusters() are not.
So an empty rec[0] is left in rightmost path which will cause
read-only filesystem when call ocfs2_commit_truncate()
with the error message: "Inode %lu has an empty extent record".
This is not a serious problem, so remove the rightmost path when call
ocfs2_commit_truncate().

ocfs2: use 64bit variables to track heartbeat time
o2hb_elapsed_msecs computes the time taken for a disk heartbeat.
'struct timeval' variables are used to store start and end times. On
32-bit systems, the 'tv_sec' component of 'struct timeval' will overflow
in year 2038 and beyond.
This patch solves the overflow with the following:
1. Replace o2hb_elapsed_msecs using 'ktime_t' values to measure start
and end time, and built-in function 'ktime_ms_delta' to compute the
elapsed time. ktime_get_real() is used since the code prints out the
wallclock time.
2. Changes format string to print time as a single 64-bit nanoseconds
value ("%lld") instead of seconds and microseconds. This simplifies
the code since converting ktime_t to that format would need expensive
computation. However, the debug log string is less readable than the
previous format.
