Arnd BergmannandAndrew Morton 3de705a43a mm/vmscan: avoid false-positive -Wuninitialized warning
When the -fsanitize=bounds sanitizer is enabled, gcc-16 sometimes runs
into a corner case in the read_ctrl_pos() pos function, where it sees
possible undefined behavior from the 'tier' index overflowing, presumably
in the case that this was called with a negative tier:

In function 'get_tier_idx',
    inlined from 'isolate_folios' at mm/vmscan.c:4671:14:
mm/vmscan.c: In function 'isolate_folios':
mm/vmscan.c:4645:29: error: 'pv.refaulted' is used uninitialized [-Werror=uninitialized]

Part of the problem seems to be that read_ctrl_pos() has unusual calling
conventions since commit 37a260870f ("mm/mglru: rework type selection")
where passing MAX_NR_TIERS makes it accumulate all tiers but passing a
smaller positive number makes it read a single tier instead.

Shut up the warning by adding a fake initialization to the two instances
of this variable that can run into that corner case.

Zhaoyang HuangandAndrew Morton 19999e479c mm: remove '!root_reclaim' checking in should_abort_scan()
Android systems usually use memory.reclaim interface to implement user
space memory management which expects that the requested reclaim target
and actually reclaimed amount memory are not diverging by too much. With
the current MGRLU implementation there is, however, no bail out when the
reclaim target is reached and this could lead to an excessive reclaim
that scales with the reclaim hierarchy size.For example, we can get a
nr_reclaimed=394/nr_to_reclaim=32 proactive reclaim under a common 1-N
cgroup hierarchy.

This defect arose from the goal of keeping fairness among memcgs that is,
for try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages -> shrink_node_memcgs -> shrink_lruvec ->
lru_gen_shrink_lruvec -> try_to_shrink_lruvec, the !root_reclaim(sc) check
was there for reclaim fairness, which was necessary before commit
b82b530740 ("mm: vmscan: restore incremental cgroup iteration") because
the fairness depended on attempted proportional reclaim from every memcg
under the target memcg.  However after commit b82b530740 there is no
longer a need to visit every memcg to ensure fairness.  Let's have
try_to_shrink_lruvec bail out when the nr_reclaimed achieved.

Suren BaghdasaryanandAndrew Morton d14514c66c mm/vmscan: prevent MGLRU reclaim from pinning address space
When shrinking lruvec, MGLRU pins address space before walking it.  This
is excessive since all it needs for walking the page range is a stable
mm_struct to be able to take and release mmap_read_lock and a stable
mm->mm_mt tree to walk.  This address space pinning results in delays when
releasing the memory of a dying process.  This also prevents mm reapers
(both in-kernel oom-reaper and userspace process_mrelease()) from doing
their job during MGLRU scan because they check task_will_free_mem() which
will yield negative result due to the elevated mm->mm_users.

This affects the system in the sense that if the MM of the killed
process is being reclaimed by kswapd then reapers won't be able to reap
it.  Even the process itself (which might have higher-priority than
kswapd) will not free its memory until kswapd drops the last reference.
IOW, we delay freeing the memory because kswapd is reclaiming it.  In
Android the visible result for us is that process_mrelease() (userspace
reaper) skips MM in such cases and we see process memory not released
for an unusually long time (secs).

Replace unnecessary address space pinning with mm_struct pinning by
replacing mmget/mmput with mmgrab/mmdrop calls.  mm_mt is contained within
mm_struct itself, therefore it won't be freed as long as mm_struct is
stable and it won't change during the walk because mmap_read_lock is being
held.

Baolin WangandAndrew Morton 13b6b62091 mm: vmscan: fix dirty folios throttling on cgroup v1 for MGLRU
The balance_dirty_pages() won't do the dirty folios throttling on
cgroupv1.  See commit 9badce000e ("cgroup, writeback: don't enable
cgroup writeback on traditional hierarchies").

Moreover, after commit 6b0dfabb35 ("fs: Remove aops->writepage"), we no
longer attempt to write back filesystem folios through reclaim.

On large memory systems, the flusher may not be able to write back quickly
enough.  Consequently, MGLRU will encounter many folios that are already
under writeback.  Since we cannot reclaim these dirty folios, the system
may run out of memory and trigger the OOM killer.

Hence, for cgroup v1, let's throttle reclaim after waking up the flusher,
which is similar to commit 81a70c21d9 ("mm/cgroup/reclaim: fix dirty
pages throttling on cgroup v1"), to avoid unnecessary OOM.

The following test program can easily reproduce the OOM issue.  With this
patch applied, the test passes successfully.

$mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
$echo 256M > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
$echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/cgroup.procs
$dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/data.bin bs=1M count=800

Qi ZhengandAndrew Morton 7404bd37cf mm: workingset: use lruvec_lru_size() to get the number of lru pages
For cgroup v2, count_shadow_nodes() is the only place to read
non-hierarchical stats (lruvec_stats->state_local).  To avoid the need to
consider cgroup v2 during subsequent non-hierarchical stats reparenting,
use lruvec_lru_size() instead of lruvec_page_state_local() to get the
number of lru pages.

For NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B cases, it appears
that the statistics here have already been problematic for a while since
slab pages have been reparented.  So just ignore it for now.

Qi ZhengandAndrew Morton f304652609 mm: vmscan: prepare for reparenting MGLRU folios
Similar to traditional LRU folios, in order to solve the dying memcg
problem, we also need to reparenting MGLRU folios to the parent memcg when
memcg offline.

However, there are the following challenges:

1. Each lruvec has between MIN_NR_GENS and MAX_NR_GENS generations, the
   number of generations of the parent and child memcg may be different,
   so we cannot simply transfer MGLRU folios in the child memcg to the
   parent memcg as we did for traditional LRU folios.
2. The generation information is stored in folio->flags, but we cannot
   traverse these folios while holding the lru lock, otherwise it may
   cause softlockup.
3. In walk_update_folio(), the gen of folio and corresponding lru size
   may be updated, but the folio is not immediately moved to the
   corresponding lru list. Therefore, there may be folios of different
   generations on an LRU list.
4. In lru_gen_del_folio(), the generation to which the folio belongs is
   found based on the generation information in folio->flags, and the
   corresponding LRU size will be updated. Therefore, we need to update
   the lru size correctly during reparenting, otherwise the lru size may
   be updated incorrectly in lru_gen_del_folio().

Finally, this patch chose a compromise method, which is to splice the lru
list in the child memcg to the lru list of the same generation in the
parent memcg during reparenting.  And in order to ensure that the parent
memcg has the same generation, we need to increase the generations in the
parent memcg to the MAX_NR_GENS before reparenting.

Of course, the same generation has different meanings in the parent and
child memcg, this will cause confusion in the hot and cold information of
folios.  But other than that, this method is simple enough, the lru size
is correct, and there is no need to consider some concurrency issues (such
as lru_gen_del_folio()).

To prepare for the above work, this commit implements the specific
functions, which will be used during reparenting.

Qi ZhengandAndrew Morton 07a6e9a2c1 mm: vmscan: prepare for reparenting traditional LRU folios
To resolve the dying memcg issue, we need to reparent LRU folios of child
memcg to its parent memcg.  For traditional LRU list, each lruvec of every
memcg comprises four LRU lists.  Due to the symmetry of the LRU lists, it
is feasible to transfer the LRU lists from a memcg to its parent memcg
during the reparenting process.

This commit implements the specific function, which will be used during
the reparenting process.

pages, preventing user from missing RCU lock calls due to open-code lruvec

Muchun SongandAndrew Morton c29f90a2da mm: mglru: prevent memory cgroup release in mglru
In the near future, a folio will no longer pin its corresponding memory
cgroup.  To ensure safety, it will only be appropriate to hold the rcu
read lock or acquire a reference to the memory cgroup returned by
folio_memcg(), thereby preventing it from being released.

In the current patch, the rcu read lock is employed to safeguard against
the release of the memory cgroup in mglru.

This serves as a preparatory measure for the reparenting of the LRU pages.

Muchun SongandAndrew Morton a760b64ee0 mm: vmscan: refactor move_folios_to_lru()
In a subsequent patch, we'll reparent the LRU folios.  The folios that are
moved to the appropriate LRU list can undergo reparenting during the
move_folios_to_lru() process.  Hence, it's incorrect for the caller to
hold a lruvec lock.  Instead, we should utilize the more general interface
of folio_lruvec_relock_irq() to obtain the correct lruvec lock.

This patch involves only code refactoring and doesn't introduce any
functional changes.

Qi ZhengandAndrew Morton 676496738b mm: vmscan: prepare for the refactoring the move_folios_to_lru()
Once we refactor move_folios_to_lru(), its callers will no longer have to
hold the lruvec lock; For shrink_inactive_list(), shrink_active_list() and
evict_folios(), IRQ disabling is only needed for __count_vm_events() and
__mod_node_page_state().

To avoid using local_irq_disable() on the PREEMPT_RT kernel, let's make
all callers of move_folios_to_lru() use IRQ-safed count_vm_events() and
mod_node_page_state().

It is inappropriate to use folio_lruvec_lock() variants in conjunction
with unlock_page_lruvec() variants, as this involves the inconsistent

functions unlock_page_lruvec{_irq, _irqrestore} are renamed to
lruvec_unlock{_irq,_irqrestore}.

The function scan_swap_map_slots() was removed in commit 0ff67f990b
("mm, swap: remove swap slot cache").

The three comments referencing it simply noted that ->flags can be updated
non-atomically by scan_swap_map_slots() to justify a data_race()
annotation.  Since the function no longer exists, drop the parenthetical
reference while keeping the data_race() justification intact: ->flags can
still be updated non-atomically by other paths (e.g., swapoff clearing
SWP_WRITEOK).

Leno HouandAndrew Morton a6a8c087dc mm/mglru: fix cgroup OOM during MGLRU state switching
When the Multi-Gen LRU (MGLRU) state is toggled dynamically, a race
condition exists between the state switching and the memory reclaim path. 
This can lead to unexpected cgroup OOM kills, even when plenty of
reclaimable memory is available.

Problem Description
==================
The issue arises from a "reclaim vacuum" during the transition.

1. When disabling MGLRU, lru_gen_change_state() sets lrugen->enabled to
   false before the pages are drained from MGLRU lists back to traditional
   LRU lists.
2. Concurrent reclaimers in shrink_lruvec() see lrugen->enabled as false
   and skip the MGLRU path.
3. However, these pages might not have reached the traditional LRU lists
   yet, or the changes are not yet visible to all CPUs due to a lack
   of synchronization.
4. get_scan_count() subsequently finds traditional LRU lists empty,
   concludes there is no reclaimable memory, and triggers an OOM kill.

A similar race can occur during enablement, where the reclaimer sees the
new state but the MGLRU lists haven't been populated via fill_evictable()
yet.

Solution
========
Introduce a 'switching' state (`lru_switch`) to bridge the transition.
When transitioning, the system enters this intermediate state where
the reclaimer is forced to attempt both MGLRU and traditional reclaim
paths sequentially. This ensures that folios remain visible to at least
one reclaim mechanism until the transition is fully materialized across
all CPUs.

Race & Mitigation
================
A race window exists between checking the 'draining' state and performing
the actual list operations. For instance, a reclaimer might observe the
draining state as false just before it changes, leading to a suboptimal
reclaim path decision.

However, this impact is effectively mitigated by the kernel's reclaim
retry mechanism (e.g., in do_try_to_free_pages). If a reclaimer pass fails
to find eligible folios due to a state transition race, subsequent retries
in the loop will observe the updated state and correctly direct the scan
to the appropriate LRU lists. This ensures the transient inconsistency
does not escalate into a terminal OOM kill.

This effectively reduce the race window that previously triggered OOMs
under high memory pressure.

This fix has been verified on v7.0.0-rc1; dynamic toggling of MGLRU
functions correctly without triggering unexpected OOM kills.

Bing JiaoandAndrew Morton d9f74cfb5a mm/vmscan: fix unintended mtc->nmask mutation in alloc_demote_folio()
In alloc_demote_folio(), mtc->nmask is set to NULL for the first
allocation.  If that succeeds, it returns without restoring mtc->nmask to
allowed_mask.  For subsequent allocations from the migrate_pages() batch,
mtc->nmask will be NULL.  If the target node then becomes full, the
fallback allocation will use nmask = NULL, allocating from any node
allowed by the task cpuset, which for kswapd is all nodes.

To address this issue, use a local copy of the mtc structure with nmask =
NULL for the first allocation attempt specifically, ensuring the original
mtc remains unmodified.

Baolin WangandAndrew Morton 56e5b60b21 mm: support batched checking of the young flag for MGLRU
Use the batched helper test_and_clear_young_ptes_notify() to check and
clear the young flag to improve the performance during large folio
reclamation when MGLRU is enabled.

Meanwhile, we can also support batched checking the young and dirty flag
when MGLRU walks the mm's pagetable to update the folios' generation
counter.  Since MGLRU also checks the PTE dirty bit, use
folio_pte_batch_flags() with FPB_MERGE_YOUNG_DIRTY set to detect batches
of PTEs for a large folio.

Then we can remove the ptep_test_and_clear_young_notify() since it has no
users now.

Note that we also update the 'young' counter and 'mm_stats[MM_LEAF_YOUNG]'
counter with the batched count in the lru_gen_look_around() and
walk_pte_range().  However, the batched operations may inflate these two
counters, because in a large folio not all PTEs may have been accessed. 
(Additionally, tracking how many PTEs have been accessed within a large
folio is not very meaningful, since the mm core actually tracks
access/dirty on a per-folio basis, not per page).  The impact analysis is
as follows:

1. The 'mm_stats[MM_LEAF_YOUNG]' counter has no functional impact and
   is mainly for debugging.

2. The 'young' counter is used to decide whether to place the current
   PMD entry into the bloom filters by suitable_to_scan() (so that next
   time we can check whether it has been accessed again), which may set
   the hash bit in the bloom filters for a PMD entry that hasn't seen much
   access.  However, bloom filters inherently allow some error, so this
   effect appears negligible.

JP Kobryn (Meta)andAndrew Morton e4f4fc7aa8 mm: move pgscan, pgsteal, pgrefill to node stats
There are situations where reclaim kicks in on a system with free memory. 
One possible cause is a NUMA imbalance scenario where one or more nodes
are under pressure.  It would help if we could easily identify such nodes.

Move the pgscan, pgsteal, and pgrefill counters from vm_event_item to
node_stat_item to provide per-node reclaim visibility.  With these
counters as node stats, the values are now displayed in the per-node
section of /proc/zoneinfo, which allows for quick identification of the
affected nodes.

/proc/vmstat continues to report the same counters, aggregated across all
nodes.  But the ordering of these items within the readout changes as they
move from the vm events section to the node stats section.

Memcg accounting of these counters is preserved.  The relocated counters
remain visible in memory.stat alongside the existing aggregate pgscan and
pgsteal counters.

However, this change affects how the global counters are accumulated. 
Previously, the global event count update was gated on !cgroup_reclaim(),
excluding memcg-based reclaim from /proc/vmstat.  Now that
mod_lruvec_state() is being used to update the counters, the global
counters will include all reclaim.  This is consistent with how pgdemote
counters are already tracked.

Finally, the virtio_balloon driver is updated to use
global_node_page_state() to fetch the counters, as they are no longer
accessible through the vm_events array.

Kees Cook 69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
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 *".

Bing JiaoandAndrew Morton 7ec9ecf217 mm/vmscan: select the closest preferred node in demote_folio_list()
The preferred demotion node (migration_target_control.nid) should be the
one closest to the source node to minimize migration latency.  Currently,
a discrepancy exists where demote_folio_list() randomly selects an allowed
node if the preferred node from next_demotion_node() is not set in
mems_effective.

To address it, update next_demotion_node() to select a preferred target
against allowed nodes; and to return the closest demotion target if all
preferred nodes are not in mems_effective via next_demotion_node().

It ensures that the preferred demotion target is consistently the closest
available node to the source node.

Bing JiaoandAndrew Morton 1aceed565f mm/vmscan: fix demotion targets checks in reclaim/demotion
Patch series "mm/vmscan: fix demotion targets checks in reclaim/demotion",
v9.

This patch series addresses two issues in demote_folio_list(),
can_demote(), and next_demotion_node() in reclaim/demotion.

1. demote_folio_list() and can_demote() do not correctly check
   demotion target against cpuset.mems_effective, which will cause (a)
   pages to be demoted to not-allowed nodes and (b) pages fail demotion
   even if the system still has allowed demotion nodes.

   Patch 1 fixes this bug by updating cpuset_node_allowed() and
   mem_cgroup_node_allowed() to return effective_mems, allowing directly
   logic-and operation against demotion targets.

2. next_demotion_node() returns a preferred demotion target, but it
   does not check the node against allowed nodes.

   Patch 2 ensures that next_demotion_node() filters against the allowed
   node mask and selects the closest demotion target to the source node.


This patch (of 2):

Fix two bugs in demote_folio_list() and can_demote() due to incorrect
demotion target checks against cpuset.mems_effective in reclaim/demotion.

Commit 7d709f49ba ("vmscan,cgroup: apply mems_effective to reclaim")
introduces the cpuset.mems_effective check and applies it to can_demote().
However:

  1. It does not apply this check in demote_folio_list(), which leads
     to situations where pages are demoted to nodes that are
     explicitly excluded from the task's cpuset.mems.

  2. It checks only the nodes in the immediate next demotion hierarchy
     and does not check all allowed demotion targets in can_demote().
     This can cause pages to never be demoted if the nodes in the next
     demotion hierarchy are not set in mems_effective.

These bugs break resource isolation provided by cpuset.mems.  This is
visible from userspace because pages can either fail to be demoted
entirely or are demoted to nodes that are not allowed in multi-tier memory
systems.

To address these bugs, update cpuset_node_allowed() and
mem_cgroup_node_allowed() to return effective_mems, allowing directly
logic-and operation against demotion targets.  Also update can_demote()
and demote_folio_list() accordingly.

Bug 1 reproduction:
  Assume a system with 4 nodes, where nodes 0-1 are top-tier and
  nodes 2-3 are far-tier memory. All nodes have equal capacity.

  Test script:
    echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/numa/demotion_enabled
    mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
    echo +cpuset > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control
    echo "0-2" > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpuset.mems
    echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cgroup.procs
    swapoff -a
    # Expectation: Should respect node 0-2 limit.
    # Observation: Node 3 shows significant allocation (MemFree drops)
    stress-ng --oomable --vm 1 --vm-bytes 150% --mbind 0,1

Bug 2 reproduction:
  Assume a system with 6 nodes, where nodes 0-2 are top-tier,
  node 3 is a far-tier node, and nodes 4-5 are the farthest-tier nodes.
  All nodes have equal capacity.

  Test script:
    echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/numa/demotion_enabled
    mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
    echo +cpuset > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control
    echo "0-2,4-5" > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpuset.mems
    echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cgroup.procs
    swapoff -a
    # Expectation: Pages are demoted to Nodes 4-5
    # Observation: No pages are demoted before oom.
    stress-ng --oomable --vm 1 --vm-bytes 150% --mbind 0,1,2
