4bc9468f16 writeback: Fix performance regression in wb_over_bg_thresh()
commit 74d369443325063a5f0260e63971decb950fd8fa upstream.

Commit 947e9762a8 ("writeback: update wb_over_bg_thresh() to use
wb_domain aware operations") unintentionally changed this function's
meaning from "are there more dirty pages than the background writeback
threshold" to "are there more dirty pages than the writeback threshold".
The background writeback threshold is typically half of the writeback
threshold, so this had the effect of raising the number of dirty pages
required to cause a writeback worker to perform background writeout.

This can cause a very severe performance regression when a BDI uses
BDI_CAP_STRICTLIMIT because balance_dirty_pages() and the writeback worker
can now disagree on whether writeback should be initiated.

For example, in a system having 1GB of RAM, a single spinning disk, and a
"pass-through" FUSE filesystem mounted over the disk, application code
mmapped a 128MB file on the disk and was randomly dirtying pages in that
mapping.

Because FUSE uses strictlimit and has a default max_ratio of only 1%, in
balance_dirty_pages, thresh is ~200, bg_thresh is ~100, and the
dirty_freerun_ceiling is the average of those, ~150. So, it pauses the
dirtying processes when we have 151 dirty pages and wakes up a background
writeback worker. But the worker tests the wrong threshold (200 instead of
100), so it does not initiate writeback and just returns.

Thus, balance_dirty_pages keeps looping, sleeping and then waking up the
worker who will do nothing. It remains stuck in this state until the few
dirty pages that we have finally expire and we write them back for that
reason. Then the whole process repeats, resulting in near-zero throughput
through the FUSE BDI.

The fix is to call the parameterized variant of wb_calc_thresh, so that the
worker will do writeback if the bg_thresh is exceeded which was the
behavior before the referenced commit.

24b8a175a6 mm: update min_free_kbytes from khugepaged after core initialization
commit bc22af74f271ef76b2e6f72f3941f91f0da3f5f8 upstream.

Khugepaged attempts to raise min_free_kbytes if its set too low.
However, on boot khugepaged sets min_free_kbytes first from
subsys_initcall(), and then the mm 'core' over-rides min_free_kbytes
after from init_per_zone_wmark_min(), via a module_init() call.

Khugepaged used to use a late_initcall() to set min_free_kbytes (such
that it occurred after the core initialization), however this was
removed when the initialization of min_free_kbytes was integrated into
the starting of the khugepaged thread.

The fix here is simply to invoke the core initialization using a
core_initcall() instead of module_init(), such that the previous
initialization ordering is restored.  I didn't restore the
late_initcall() since start_stop_khugepaged() already sets
min_free_kbytes via set_recommended_min_free_kbytes().

This was noticed when we had a number of page allocation failures when
moving a workload to a kernel with this new initialization ordering.  On
an 8GB system this restores min_free_kbytes back to 67584 from 11365
when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y is set and either
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS=y or
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE=y.

851375cc49 mm/zswap: provide unique zpool name
commit 32a4e169039927bfb6ee9f0ccbbe3a8aaf13a4bc upstream.

Instead of using "zswap" as the name for all zpools created, add an
atomic counter and use "zswap%x" with the counter number for each zpool
created, to provide a unique name for each new zpool.

As zsmalloc, one of the zpool implementations, requires/expects a unique
name for each pool created, zswap should provide a unique name.  The
zsmalloc pool creation does not fail if a new pool with a conflicting
name is created, unless CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_STAT is enabled; in that case,
zsmalloc pool creation fails with -ENOMEM.  Then zswap will be unable to
change its compressor parameter if its zpool is zsmalloc; it also will
be unable to change its zpool parameter back to zsmalloc, if it has any
existing old zpool using zsmalloc with page(s) in it.  Attempts to
change the parameters will result in failure to create the zpool.  This
changes zswap to provide a unique name for each zpool creation.

d27e2ddc40 mm, cma: prevent nr_isolated_* counters from going negative
commit 14af4a5e9b26ad251f81c174e8a43f3e179434a5 upstream.

/proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh warns nr_isolated_anon and nr_isolated_file go
increasingly negative under compaction: which would add delay when
should be none, or no delay when should delay.  The bug in compaction
was due to a recent mmotm patch, but much older instance of the bug was
also noticed in isolate_migratepages_range() which is used for CMA and
gigantic hugepage allocations.

The bug is caused by putback_movable_pages() in an error path
decrementing the isolated counters without them being previously
incremented by acct_isolated().  Fix isolate_migratepages_range() by
removing the error-path putback, thus reaching acct_isolated() with
migratepages still isolated, and leaving putback to caller like most
other places do.

Fixes: edc2ca6124 ("mm, compaction: move pageblock checks up from isolate_migratepages_range()")

36abe7272a mm/hwpoison: fix wrong num_poisoned_pages accounting
commit d7e69488bd04de165667f6bc741c1c0ec6042ab9 upstream.

Currently, migration code increses num_poisoned_pages on *failed*
migration page as well as successfully migrated one at the trial of
memory-failure.  It will make the stat wrong.  As well, it marks the
page as PG_HWPoison even if the migration trial failed.  It would mean
we cannot recover the corrupted page using memory-failure facility.

This patches fixes it.

e513b90a9a numa: fix /proc/<pid>/numa_maps for THP
commit 28093f9f34cedeaea0f481c58446d9dac6dd620f upstream.

In gather_pte_stats() a THP pmd is cast into a pte, which is wrong
because the layouts may differ depending on the architecture.  On s390
this will lead to inaccurate numa_maps accounting in /proc because of
misguided pte_present() and pte_dirty() checks on the fake pte.

On other architectures pte_present() and pte_dirty() may work by chance,
but there may be an issue with direct-access (dax) mappings w/o
underlying struct pages when HAVE_PTE_SPECIAL is set and THP is
available.  In vm_normal_page() the fake pte will be checked with
pte_special() and because there is no "special" bit in a pmd, this will
always return false and the VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP checking will be
skipped.  On dax mappings w/o struct pages, an invalid struct page
pointer would then be returned that can crash the kernel.

This patch fixes the numa_maps THP handling by introducing new "_pmd"
variants of the can_gather_numa_stats() and vm_normal_page() functions.

be591a683e mm/huge_memory: replace VM_NO_THP VM_BUG_ON with actual VMA check
commit 3486b85a29c1741db99d0c522211c82d2b7a56d0 upstream.

Khugepaged detects own VMAs by checking vm_file and vm_ops but this way
it cannot distinguish private /dev/zero mappings from other special
mappings like /dev/hpet which has no vm_ops and popultes PTEs in mmap.

This fixes false-positive VM_BUG_ON and prevents installing THP where
they are not expected.

52526076a5 memcg: relocate charge moving from ->attach to ->post_attach
commit 264a0ae164bc0e9144bebcd25ff030d067b1a878 upstream.

Hello,

So, this ended up a lot simpler than I originally expected.  I tested
it lightly and it seems to work fine.  Petr, can you please test these
two patches w/o the lru drain drop patch and see whether the problem
is gone?

Thanks.
------ 8< ------
If charge moving is used, memcg performs relabeling of the affected
pages from its ->attach callback which is called under both
cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem and thus can't create new kthreads.  This is
fragile as various operations may depend on workqueues making forward
progress which relies on the ability to create new kthreads.

There's no reason to perform charge moving from ->attach which is deep
in the task migration path.  Move it to ->post_attach which is called
after the actual migration is finished and cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem is
dropped.

* move_charge_struct->mm is added and ->can_attach is now responsible
  for pinning and recording the target mm.  mem_cgroup_clear_mc() is
  updated accordingly.  This also simplifies mem_cgroup_move_task().

* mem_cgroup_move_task() is now called from ->post_attach instead of
  ->attach.

a4e25ff311 slub: clean up code for kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk
commit 376bf125ac781d32e202760ed7deb1ae4ed35d31 upstream.

This change is primarily an attempt to make it easier to realize the
optimizations the compiler performs in-case CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not
enabled.

Performance wise, even when CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is compiled in, the
overhead is zero.  This is because, as long as no process have enabled
kmem cgroups accounting, the assignment is replaced by asm-NOP
operations.  This is possible because memcg_kmem_enabled() uses a
static_key_false() construct.

It also helps readability as it avoid accessing the p[] array like:
p[size - 1] which "expose" that the array is processed backwards inside
helper function build_detached_freelist().

Lastly this also makes the code more robust, in error case like passing
NULL pointers in the array.  Which were previously handled before commit
033745189b ("slub: add missing kmem cgroup support to
kmem_cache_free_bulk").

5dc7e939b6 mm/page_alloc: prevent merging between isolated and other pageblocks
commit d9dddbf556674bf125ecd925b24e43a5cf2a568a upstream.

Hanjun Guo has reported that a CMA stress test causes broken accounting of
CMA and free pages:

> Before the test, I got:
> -bash-4.3# cat /proc/meminfo | grep Cma
> CmaTotal:         204800 kB
> CmaFree:          195044 kB
>
>
> After running the test:
> -bash-4.3# cat /proc/meminfo | grep Cma
> CmaTotal:         204800 kB
> CmaFree:         6602584 kB
>
> So the freed CMA memory is more than total..
>
> Also the the MemFree is more than mem total:
>
> -bash-4.3# cat /proc/meminfo
> MemTotal:       16342016 kB
> MemFree:        22367268 kB
> MemAvailable:   22370528 kB

Laura Abbott has confirmed the issue and suspected the freepage accounting
rewrite around 3.18/4.0 by Joonsoo Kim.  Joonsoo had a theory that this is
caused by unexpected merging between MIGRATE_ISOLATE and MIGRATE_CMA
pageblocks:

> CMA isolates MAX_ORDER aligned blocks, but, during the process,
> partialy isolated block exists. If MAX_ORDER is 11 and
> pageblock_order is 9, two pageblocks make up MAX_ORDER

> II -> CI -> CC (Un-isolation)
>
> If some pages are freed at this intermediate state such as IC or CI,
> that page could be merged to the other page that is resident on
> different type of pageblock and it will cause wrong freepage count.

This was supposed to be prevented by CMA operating on MAX_ORDER blocks,
but since it doesn't hold the zone->lock between pageblocks, a race
window does exist.

It's also likely that unexpected merging can occur between
MIGRATE_ISOLATE and non-CMA pageblocks.  This should be prevented in
__free_one_page() since commit 3c605096d3 ("mm/page_alloc: restrict
max order of merging on isolated pageblock").  However, we only check
the migratetype of the pageblock where buddy merging has been initiated,
not the migratetype of the buddy pageblock (or group of pageblocks)
which can be MIGRATE_ISOLATE.

Joonsoo has suggested checking for buddy migratetype as part of
page_is_buddy(), but that would add extra checks in allocator hotpath
and bloat-o-meter has shown significant code bloat (the function is
inline).

This patch reduces the bloat at some expense of more complicated code.
The buddy-merging while-loop in __free_one_page() is initially bounded
to pageblock_border and without any migratetype checks.  The checks are
placed outside, bumping the max_order if merging is allowed, and
returning to the while-loop with a statement which can't be possibly
considered harmful.

This fixes the accounting bug and also removes the arguably weird state
in the original commit 3c605096d3 where buddies could be left
unmerged.

0ccab5b139 mm: memcontrol: reclaim and OOM kill when shrinking memory.max below usage
commit b6e6edcfa40561e9c8abe5eecf1c96f8e5fd9c6f upstream.

Setting the original memory.limit_in_bytes hardlimit is subject to a
race condition when the desired value is below the current usage.  The
code tries a few times to first reclaim and then see if the usage has
dropped to where we would like it to be, but there is no locking, and
the workload is free to continue making new charges up to the old limit.
Thus, attempting to shrink a workload relies on pure luck and hope that
the workload happens to cooperate.

To fix this in the cgroup2 memory.max knob, do it the other way round:
set the limit first, then try enforcement.  And if reclaim is not able
to succeed, trigger OOM kills in the group.  Keep going until the new
limit is met, we run out of OOM victims and there's only unreclaimable
memory left, or the task writing to memory.max is killed.  This allows
users to shrink groups reliably, and the behavior is consistent with
what happens when new charges are attempted in excess of memory.max.

8b42fc47e1 mm: memcontrol: reclaim when shrinking memory.high below usage
commit 588083bb37a3cea8533c392370a554417c8f29cb upstream.

When setting memory.high below usage, nothing happens until the next
charge comes along, and then it will only reclaim its own charge and not
the now potentially huge excess of the new memory.high.  This can cause
groups to stay in excess of their memory.high indefinitely.

To fix that, when shrinking memory.high, kick off a reclaim cycle that
goes after the delta.

afb0299353 virtio_balloon: fix race between migration and ballooning
commit 21ea9fb69e7c4b1b1559c3e410943d3ff248ffcb upstream.

In balloon_page_dequeue, pages_lock should cover the loop
(ie, list_for_each_entry_safe). Otherwise, the cursor page could
be isolated by compaction and then list_del by isolation could
poison the page->lru.{prev,next} so the loop finally could
access wrong address like this. This patch fixes the bug.

18b75e0bdc mm: numa: quickly fail allocations for NUMA balancing on full nodes
commit 8479eba7781fa9ffb28268840de6facfc12c35a7 upstream.

Commit 4167e9b2cf ("mm: remove GFP_THISNODE") removed the GFP_THISNODE
flag combination due to confusing semantics.  It noted that
alloc_misplaced_dst_page() was one such user after changes made by
commit e97ca8e5b8 ("mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify").

Unfortunately when GFP_THISNODE was removed, users of
alloc_misplaced_dst_page() started waking kswapd and entering direct
reclaim because the wrong GFP flags are cleared.  The consequence is
that workloads that used to fit into memory now get reclaimed which is
addressed by this patch.

The problem can be demonstrated with "mutilate" that exercises memcached
which is software dedicated to memory object caching.  The configuration
uses 80% of memory and is run 3 times for varying numbers of clients.
The results on a 4-socket NUMA box are

The metric is queries/second with the more the better.  The results are
way outside of the noise and the reason for the improvement is obvious
from some of the vmstats

The vanilla kernel is swapping like crazy with large amounts of direct
reclaim and kswapd activity.  The figures are aggregate but it's known
that the bad activity is throughout the entire test.

Note that simple streaming anon/file memory consumers also see this
problem but it's not as obvious.  In those cases, kswapd is awake when
it should not be.

As there are at least two reclaim-related bugs out there, it's worth
spelling out the user-visible impact.  This patch only addresses bugs
related to excessive reclaim on NUMA hardware when the working set is
larger than a NUMA node.  There is a bug related to high kswapd CPU
usage but the reports are against laptops and other UMA hardware and is
not addressed by this patch.

915d02457e mm: thp: fix SMP race condition between THP page fault and MADV_DONTNEED
commit ad33bb04b2a6cee6c1f99fabb15cddbf93ff0433 upstream.

pmd_trans_unstable()/pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() were
introduced to locklessy (but atomically) detect when a pmd is a regular
(stable) pmd or when the pmd is unstable and can infinitely transition
from pmd_none() and pmd_trans_huge() from under us, while only holding
the mmap_sem for reading (for writing not).

While holding the mmap_sem only for reading, MADV_DONTNEED can run from
under us and so before we can assume the pmd to be a regular stable pmd
we need to compare it against pmd_none() and pmd_trans_huge() in an
atomic way, with pmd_trans_unstable().  The old pmd_trans_huge() left a
tiny window for a race.

Useful applications are unlikely to notice the difference as doing
MADV_DONTNEED concurrently with a page fault would lead to undefined
behavior.
