Hui ZhuandAndrew Morton 86e69c020b mm/swap: strengthen locking assertions and invariants in cluster allocation
swap_cluster_alloc_table() requires several locks to be held by its
callers: ci->lock, the per-CPU swap_cluster lock, and, for non-solid-state
devices (non-SWP_SOLIDSTATE), the si->global_cluster_lock.

While most call paths (e.g., via cluster_alloc_swap_entry() or
alloc_swap_scan_list()) correctly acquire these locks before invocation,
the path through swap_reclaim_work() -> swap_reclaim_full_clusters() ->
isolate_lock_cluster() is distinct.  This path operates exclusively on
si->full_clusters, where the swap allocation tables are guaranteed to be
already allocated.  Consequently, isolate_lock_cluster() should never
trigger a call to swap_cluster_alloc_table() for these clusters.

Strengthen the locking and state assertions to formalize these invariants:

1. Add a lockdep_assert_held() for si->global_cluster_lock in
   swap_cluster_alloc_table() for non-SWP_SOLIDSTATE devices.
2. Reorder existing lockdep assertions in swap_cluster_alloc_table() to
   match the actual lock acquisition order (per-CPU lock, then global lock,
   then cluster lock).
3. Add a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() in isolate_lock_cluster() to ensure that table
   allocations are only attempted for clusters being isolated from the
   free list. Attempting to allocate a table for a cluster from other
   lists (like the full list during reclaim) indicates a violation of
   subsystem invariants.

These changes ensure locking consistency and help catch potential
synchronization or logic issues during development.

Kairui SongandAndrew Morton 1df1a1b950 mm, swap: no need to clear the shadow explicitly
Since we no longer bypass the swap cache, every swap-in will clear the
swap shadow by inserting the folio into the swap table.  The only place we
may seem to need to free the swap shadow is when the swap slots are freed
directly without a folio (swap_put_entries_direct).  But with the swap
table, that is not needed either.  Freeing a slot in the swap table will
set the table entry to NULL, which erases the shadow just fine.

So just delete all explicit shadow clearing, it's no longer needed.  Also,
rearrange the freeing.

Kairui SongandAndrew Morton a0f79916e1 mm, swap: simplify checking if a folio is swapped
Clean up and simplify how we check if a folio is swapped.  The helper
already requires the folio to be in swap cache and locked.  That's enough
to pin the swap cluster from being freed, so there is no need to lock
anything else to avoid UAF.

And besides, we have cleaned up and defined the swap operation to be
mostly folio based, and now the only place a folio will have any of its
swap slots' count increased from 0 to 1 is folio_dup_swap, which also
requires the folio lock.  So as we are holding the folio lock here, a
folio can't change its swap status from not swapped (all swap slots have a
count of 0) to swapped (any slot has a swap count larger than 0).

So there won't be any false negatives of this helper if we simply depend
on the folio lock to stabilize the cluster.

We are only using this helper to determine if we can and should release
the swap cache.  So false positives are completely harmless, and also
already exist before.  Depending on the timing, previously, it's also
possible that a racing thread releases the swap count right after
releasing the ci lock and before this helper returns.  In any case, the
worst that could happen is we leave a clean swap cache.  It will still be
reclaimed when under pressure just fine.

So, in conclusion, we can simplify and make the check much simpler and
lockless.  Also, rename it to folio_maybe_swapped to reflect the design.

Kairui SongandAndrew Morton 45711d446b mm, swap: no need to truncate the scan border
swap_map had a static flexible size, so the last cluster won't be fully
covered, hence the allocator needs to check the scan border to avoid OOB. 
But the swap table has a fixed-sized swap table for each cluster, and the
slots beyond the device size are marked as bad slots.  The allocator can
simply scan all slots as usual, and any bad slots will be skipped.

Kairui SongandAndrew Morton 0d6af9bcf3 mm, swap: use the swap table to track the swap count
Now all the infrastructures are ready, switch to using the swap table
only.  This is unfortunately a large patch because the whole old counting
mechanism, especially SWP_CONTINUED, has to be gone and switch to the new
mechanism together, with no intermediate steps available.

The swap table is capable of holding up to SWP_TB_COUNT_MAX - 1 counts in
the higher bits of each table entry, so using that, the swap_map can be
completely dropped.

swap_map also had a limit of SWAP_CONT_MAX.  Any value beyond that limit
will require a COUNT_CONTINUED page.  COUNT_CONTINUED is a bit complex to
maintain, so for the swap table, a simpler approach is used: when the
count goes beyond SWP_TB_COUNT_MAX - 1, the cluster will have an
extend_table allocated, which is a swap cluster-sized array of unsigned
int.  The counting is basically offloaded there until the count drops
below SWP_TB_COUNT_MAX again.

Both the swap table and the extend table are cluster-based, so they
exhibit good performance and sparsity.

To make the switch from swap_map to swap table clean, this commit cleans
up and introduces a new set of functions based on the swap table design,
for manipulating swap counts:

- __swap_cluster_dup_entry, __swap_cluster_put_entry,
  __swap_cluster_alloc_entry, __swap_cluster_free_entry:

  Increase/decrease the count of a swap slot, or alloc / free a swap
  slot. This is the internal routine that does the counting work based
  on the swap table and handles all the complexities. The caller will
  need to lock the cluster before calling them.

  All swap count-related update operations are wrapped by these four
  helpers.

- swap_dup_entries_cluster, swap_put_entries_cluster:

  Increase/decrease the swap count of one or a set of swap slots in the
  same cluster range. These two helpers serve as the common routines for
  folio_dup_swap & swap_dup_entry_direct, or
  folio_put_swap & swap_put_entries_direct.

And use these helpers to replace all existing callers. This helps to
simplify the count tracking by a lot, and the swap_map is gone.

In preparing the deprecating swap_map, mark bad slots in the swap table
too when setting SWAP_MAP_BAD in swap_map.  Also, refine the swap table
sanity check on freeing to adapt to the bad slots change.  For swapoff,
the bad slots count must match the cluster usage count, as nothing should
touch them, and they contribute to the cluster usage count on swapon.  For
ordinary swap table freeing, the swap table of clusters with bad slots
should never be freed since the cluster usage count never reaches zero.

Kairui SongandAndrew Morton 451c632610 mm, swap: clean up swapon process and locking
Slightly clean up the swapon process.  Add comments about what swap_lock
protects, introduce and rename helpers that wrap swap_map and cluster_info
setup, and do it outside of the swap_lock lock.

This lock protection is not needed for swap_map and cluster_info setup
because all swap users must either hold the percpu ref or hold a stable
allocated swap entry (e.g., locking a folio in the swap cache) before
accessing.  So before the swap device is exposed by enable_swap_info,
nothing would use the swap device's map or cluster.

So we are safe to allocate and set up swap data freely first, then expose
the swap device and set the SWP_WRITEOK flag.

Kairui SongandAndrew Morton eca4d01b98 mm, swap: protect si->swap_file properly and use as a mount indicator
Patch series "mm, swap: swap table phase III: remove swap_map", v3.

This series removes the static swap_map and uses the swap table for the
swap count directly.  This saves about ~30% memory usage for the static
swap metadata.  For example, this saves 256MB of memory when mounting a
1TB swap device.  Performance is slightly better too, since the double
update of the swap table and swap_map is now gone.

Test results:

Mounting a swap device:
=======================
Mount a 1TB brd device as SWAP, just to verify the memory save:

`free -m` before:
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            1465        1051         417           1          61         413
Swap:        1054435           0     1054435

`free -m` after:
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            1465         795         672           1          62         670
Swap:        1054435           0     1054435

Idle memory usage is reduced by ~256MB just as expected.  And following
this design we should be able to save another ~512MB in a next phase.

Build kernel test:
==================
Test using ZSWAP with NVME SWAP, make -j48, defconfig, in a x86_64 VM
with 5G RAM, under global pressure, avg of 32 test run:

                Before            After:
System time:    1038.97s          1013.75s (-2.4%)

Test using ZRAM as SWAP, make -j12, tinyconfig, in a ARM64 VM with 1.5G
RAM, under global pressure, avg of 32 test run:

                Before            After:
System time:    67.75s            66.65s (-1.6%)

The result is slightly better.

Redis / Valkey benchmark:
=========================
Test using ZRAM as SWAP, in a ARM64 VM with 1.5G RAM, under global pressure,
avg of 64 test run:

Server: valkey-server --maxmemory 2560M
Client: redis-benchmark -r 3000000 -n 3000000 -d 1024 -c 12 -P 32 -t get

        no persistence              with BGSAVE
Before: 472705.71 RPS               369451.68 RPS
After:  481197.93 RPS (+1.8%)       374922.32 RPS (+1.5%)

In conclusion, performance is better in all cases, and memory usage is
much lower.

The swap cgroup array will also be merged into the swap table in a later
phase, saving the other ~60% part of the static swap metadata and making
all the swap metadata dynamic.  The improved API for swap operations also
reduces the lock contention and makes more batching operations possible.


This patch (of 12):

/proc/swaps uses si->swap_map as the indicator to check if the swap
device is mounted. swap_map will be removed soon, so change it to use
si->swap_file instead because:

- si->swap_file is exactly the only dynamic content that /proc/swaps is
  interested in. Previously, it was checking si->swap_map just to ensure
  si->swap_file is available. si->swap_map is set under mutex
  protection, and after si->swap_file is set, so having si->swap_map set
  guarantees si->swap_file is set.

- Checking si->flags doesn't work here. SWP_WRITEOK is cleared during
  swapoff, but /proc/swaps is supposed to show the device under swapoff
  too to report the swapoff progress. And SWP_USED is set even if the
  device hasn't been properly set up.

We can have another flag, but the easier way is to just check
si->swap_file directly. So protect si->swap_file setting with mutext,
and set si->swap_file only when the swap device is truly enabled.

/proc/swaps only interested in si->swap_file and a few static data
reading. Only si->swap_file needs protection. Reading other static
fields is always fine.

Kairui SongandAndrew Morton 396f57b572 mm, swap: speed up hibernation allocation and writeout
Since commit 0ff67f990b ("mm, swap: remove swap slot cache"),
hibernation has been using the swap slot slow allocation path for
simplification, which turns out might cause regression for some devices
because the allocator now rotates clusters too often, leading to slower
allocation and more random distribution of data.

Fast allocation is not complex, so implement hibernation support as well.

Test result with Samsung SSD 830 Series (SATA II, 3.0 Gbps) shows the
performance is several times better [1]:
6.19:               324 seconds
After this series:  35 seconds

Linus Torvalds 32a92f8c89 Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments
This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

Linus Torvalds bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Kairui SongandAndrew Morton 50c7f34c5c mm, swap: remove no longer needed _swap_info_get
There are now only two users of _swap_info_get after consolidating these
callers, folio_free_swap and swp_swapcount.

folio_free_swap already holds the folio lock, and the folio must be in the
swap cache, _swap_info_get is redundant.

For swp_swapcount, it should use get_swap_device instead.  get_swap_device
increases the device ref count, which is actually a bit safer.  The only
current use is smap walking, and the performance change here is tiny.

And after these changes, _swap_info_get is no longer used, so we can
safely remove it.

Kairui SongandAndrew Morton d3852f9692 mm, swap: drop the SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag
Now, the swap cache is managed by the swap table.  All swap cache users
are checking the swap table directly to check the swap cache state. 
SWAP_HAS_CACHE is now just a temporary pin before the first increase from
0 to 1 of a slot's swap count (swap_dup_entries) after swap allocation
(folio_alloc_swap), or before the final free of slots pinned by folio in
swap cache (put_swap_folio).

Drop these two usages.  For the first dup, SWAP_HAS_CACHE pinning was hard
to kill because it used to have multiple meanings, more than just "a slot
is cached".  We have just simplified that and defined that the first dup
is always done with folio locked in swap cache (folio_dup_swap), so stop
checking the SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit and just check the swap cache (swap table)
directly, and add a WARN if a swap entry's count is being increased for
the first time while the folio is not in swap cache.

As for freeing, just let the swap cache free all swap entries of a folio
that have a swap count of zero directly upon folio removal.  We have also
just cleaned up batch freeing to check the swap cache usage using the swap
table: a slot with swap cache in the swap table will not be freed until
its cache is gone, and no SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit is involved anymore.  And
besides, the removal of a folio and freeing of the slots are being done in
the same critical section now, which should improve the performance.

After these two changes, SWAP_HAS_CACHE no longer has any users.  Swap
cache synchronization is also done by the swap table directly, so using
SWAP_HAS_CACHE to pin a slot before adding the cache is also no longer
needed.  Remove all related logic and helpers.  swap_map is now only used
for tracking the count, so all swap_map users can just read it directly,
ignoring the swap_count helper, which was previously used to filter out
the SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit.

The idea of dropping SWAP_HAS_CACHE and using the swap table directly was
initially from Chris's idea of merging all the metadata usage of all swaps
into one place.

Kairui SongandAndrew Morton e1c5c6be3c mm, swap: clean up and improve swap entries freeing
There are a few problems with the current freeing of swap entries.

When freeing a set of swap entries directly (swap_put_entries_direct,
typically from zapping the page table), it scans the whole swap region
multiple times.  First, it scans the whole region to check if it can be
batch freed and if there is any cached folio.  Then do a batch free only
if the whole region's swap count equals 1.  And if any entry is cached,
even if only one, it will have to walk the whole region again to clean up
the cache.

And if any entry is not in a consistent status with other entries, it will
fall back to order 0 freeing.  For example, if only one of them is cached,
the batch free will fall back.

And the current batch freeing workflow relies on the swap map's
SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit for both continuous checking and batch freeing, which
isn't compatible with the swap table design.

Tidy this up, introduce a new cluster scoped helper for all swap entry
freeing job.  It will batch frees all continuous entries, and just start a
new batch if any inconsistent entry is found.  This may improve the batch
size when the clusters are fragmented.  This should also be more robust
with more sanity checks, and make it clear that a slot pinned by swap
cache will be cleared upon cache reclaim.

And the cache reclaim scan is also now limited to each cluster.  If a
cluster has any clean swap cache left after putting the swap count,
reclaim the cluster only instead of the whole region.

And since a folio's entries are always in the same cluster, putting swap
entries from a folio can also use the new helper directly.

This should be both an optimization and a cleanup, and the new helper is
adapted to the swap table.

Kairui SongandAndrew Morton 270f095179 mm, swap: add folio to swap cache directly on allocation
The allocator uses SWAP_HAS_CACHE to pin a swap slot upon allocation. 
SWAP_HAS_CACHE is being deprecated as it caused a lot of confusion.  This
pinning usage here can be dropped by adding the folio to swap cache
directly on allocation.

All swap allocations are folio-based now (except for hibernation), so the
swap allocator can always take the folio as the parameter.  And now both
swap cache (swap table) and swap map are protected by the cluster lock,
scanning the map and inserting the folio can be done in the same critical
section.  This eliminates the time window that a slot is pinned by
SWAP_HAS_CACHE, but it has no cache, and avoids touching the lock multiple
times.

This is both a cleanup and an optimization.

Kairui SongandAndrew Morton 3697615914 mm, swap: cleanup swap entry management workflow
The current swap entry allocation/freeing workflow has never had a clear
definition.  This makes it hard to debug or add new optimizations.

This commit introduces a proper definition of how swap entries would be
allocated and freed.  Now, most operations are folio based, so they will
never exceed one swap cluster, and we now have a cleaner border between
swap and the rest of mm, making it much easier to follow and debug,
especially with new added sanity checks.  Also making more optimization
possible.

Swap entry will be mostly freed and free with a folio bound.  The folio
lock will be useful for resolving many swap related races.

Now swap allocation (except hibernation) always starts with a folio in the
swap cache, and gets duped/freed protected by the folio lock:

- folio_alloc_swap() - The only allocation entry point now.
  Context: The folio must be locked.
  This allocates one or a set of continuous swap slots for a folio and
  binds them to the folio by adding the folio to the swap cache. The
  swap slots' swap count start with zero value.

- folio_dup_swap() - Increase the swap count of one or more entries.
  Context: The folio must be locked and in the swap cache. For now, the
  caller still has to lock the new swap entry owner (e.g., PTL).
  This increases the ref count of swap entries allocated to a folio.
  Newly allocated swap slots' count has to be increased by this helper
  as the folio got unmapped (and swap entries got installed).

- folio_put_swap() - Decrease the swap count of one or more entries.
  Context: The folio must be locked and in the swap cache. For now, the
  caller still has to lock the new swap entry owner (e.g., PTL).
  This decreases the ref count of swap entries allocated to a folio.
  Typically, swapin will decrease the swap count as the folio got
  installed back and the swap entry got uninstalled

  This won't remove the folio from the swap cache and free the
  slot. Lazy freeing of swap cache is helpful for reducing IO.
  There is already a folio_free_swap() for immediate cache reclaim.
  This part could be further optimized later.

The above locking constraints could be further relaxed when the swap table
is fully implemented.  Currently dup still needs the caller to lock the
swap entry container (e.g.  PTL), or a concurrent zap may underflow the
swap count.

Some swap users need to interact with swap count without involving folio
(e.g.  forking/zapping the page table or mapping truncate without swapin).
In such cases, the caller has to ensure there is no race condition on
whatever owns the swap count and use the below helpers:

- swap_put_entries_direct() - Decrease the swap count directly.
  Context: The caller must lock whatever is referencing the slots to
  avoid a race.

  Typically the page table zapping or shmem mapping truncate will need
  to free swap slots directly. If a slot is cached (has a folio bound),
  this will also try to release the swap cache.

- swap_dup_entry_direct() - Increase the swap count directly.
  Context: The caller must lock whatever is referencing the entries to
  avoid race, and the entries must already have a swap count > 1.

  Typically, forking will need to copy the page table and hence needs to
  increase the swap count of the entries in the table. The page table is
  locked while referencing the swap entries, so the entries all have a
  swap count > 1 and can't be freed.

Hibernation subsystem is a bit different, so two special wrappers are here:

- swap_alloc_hibernation_slot() - Allocate one entry from one device.
- swap_free_hibernation_slot() - Free one entry allocated by the above
  helper.

All hibernation entries are exclusive to the hibernation subsystem and
should not interact with ordinary swap routines.

By separating the workflows, it will be possible to bind folio more
tightly with swap cache and get rid of the SWAP_HAS_CACHE as a temporary
pin.

This commit should not introduce any behavior change
