6707915e03 mm: propagate VM_SOFTDIRTY on merge
Patch series "make VM_SOFTDIRTY a sticky VMA flag", v2.

Currently we set VM_SOFTDIRTY when a new mapping is set up (whether by
establishing a new VMA, or via merge) as implemented in __mmap_complete()
and do_brk_flags().

However, when performing a merge of existing mappings such as when
performing mprotect(), we may lose the VM_SOFTDIRTY flag.

Now we have the concept of making VMA flags 'sticky', that is that they
both don't prevent merge and, importantly, are propagated to merged VMAs,
this seems a sensible alternative to the existing special-casing of
VM_SOFTDIRTY.

We additionally add a self-test that demonstrates that this logic behaves
as expected.


This patch (of 2):

Currently we set VM_SOFTDIRTY when a new mapping is set up (whether by
establishing a new VMA, or via merge) as implemented in __mmap_complete()
and do_brk_flags().

However, when performing a merge of existing mappings such as when
performing mprotect(), we may lose the VM_SOFTDIRTY flag.

This is because currently we simply ignore VM_SOFTDIRTY for the purposes
of merge, so one VMA may possess the flag and another not, and whichever
happens to be the target VMA will be the one upon which the merge is
performed which may or may not have VM_SOFTDIRTY set.

Now we have the concept of 'sticky' VMA flags, let's make VM_SOFTDIRTY one
which solves this issue.

Additionally update VMA userland tests to propagate changes.

ab04b530e7 mm: introduce copy-on-fork VMAs and make VM_MAYBE_GUARD one
Gather all the VMA flags whose presence implies that page tables must be
copied on fork into a single bitmap - VM_COPY_ON_FORK - and use this
rather than specifying individual flags in vma_needs_copy().

We also add VM_MAYBE_GUARD to this list, as it being set on a VMA implies
that there may be metadata contained in the page tables (that is - guard
markers) which would will not and cannot be propagated upon fork.

This was already being done manually previously in vma_needs_copy(), but
this makes it very explicit, alongside VM_PFNMAP, VM_MIXEDMAP and
VM_UFFD_WP all of which imply the same.

Note that VM_STICKY flags ought generally to be marked VM_COPY_ON_FORK too
- because equally a flag being VM_STICKY indicates that the VMA contains
metadat that is not propagated by being faulted in - i.e.  that the VMA
metadata does not fully describe the VMA alone, and thus we must propagate
whatever metadata there is on a fork.

However, for maximum flexibility, we do not make this necessarily the case
here.

64212ba02e mm: implement sticky VMA flags
It is useful to be able to designate that certain flags are 'sticky', that
is, if two VMAs are merged one with a flag of this nature and one without,
the merged VMA sets this flag.

As a result we ignore these flags for the purposes of determining VMA flag
differences between VMAs being considered for merge.

This patch therefore updates the VMA merge logic to perform this action,
with flags possessing this property being described in the VM_STICKY
bitmap.

Those flags which ought to be ignored for the purposes of VMA merge are
described in the VM_IGNORE_MERGE bitmap, which the VMA merge logic is also
updated to use.

As part of this change we place VM_SOFTDIRTY in VM_IGNORE_MERGE as it
already had this behaviour, alongside VM_STICKY as sticky flags by
implication must not disallow merge.

Ultimately it seems that we should make VM_SOFTDIRTY a sticky flag in its
own right, but this change is out of scope for this series.

The only sticky flag designated as such is VM_MAYBE_GUARD, so as a result
of this change, once the VMA flag is set upon guard region installation,
VMAs with guard ranges will now not have their merge behaviour impacted as
a result and can be freely merged with other VMAs without VM_MAYBE_GUARD
set.

Also update the comments for vma_modify_flags() to directly reference
sticky flags now we have established the concept.

We also update the VMA userland tests to account for the changes.

5688225023 mm: add atomic VMA flags and set VM_MAYBE_GUARD as such
This patch adds the ability to atomically set VMA flags with only the mmap
read/VMA read lock held.

As this could be hugely problematic for VMA flags in general given that
all other accesses are non-atomic and serialised by the mmap/VMA locks, we
implement this with a strict allow-list - that is, only designated flags
are allowed to do this.

We make VM_MAYBE_GUARD one of these flags.

5dba5cc2e0 mm: introduce VM_MAYBE_GUARD and make visible in /proc/$pid/smaps
Patch series "introduce VM_MAYBE_GUARD and make it sticky", v4.

Currently, guard regions are not visible to users except through
/proc/$pid/pagemap, with no explicit visibility at the VMA level.

This makes the feature less useful, as it isn't entirely apparent which
VMAs may have these entries present, especially when performing actions
which walk through memory regions such as those performed by CRIU.

This series addresses this issue by introducing the VM_MAYBE_GUARD flag
which fulfils this role, updating the smaps logic to display an entry for
these.

The semantics of this flag are that a guard region MAY be present if set
(we cannot be sure, as we can't efficiently track whether an
MADV_GUARD_REMOVE finally removes all the guard regions in a VMA) - but if
not set the VMA definitely does NOT have any guard regions present.

It's problematic to establish this flag without further action, because
that means that VMAs with guard regions in them become non-mergeable with
adjacent VMAs for no especially good reason.

To work around this, this series also introduces the concept of 'sticky'
VMA flags - that is flags which:

a. if set in one VMA and not in another still permit those VMAs to be
   merged (if otherwise compatible).

b. When they are merged, the resultant VMA must have the flag set.

The VMA logic is updated to propagate these flags correctly.

Additionally, VM_MAYBE_GUARD being an explicit VMA flag allows us to solve
an issue with file-backed guard regions - previously these established an
anon_vma object for file-backed mappings solely to have vma_needs_copy()
correctly propagate guard region mappings to child processes.

We introduce a new flag alias VM_COPY_ON_FORK (which currently only
specifies VM_MAYBE_GUARD) and update vma_needs_copy() to check explicitly
for this flag and to copy page tables if it is present, which resolves
this issue.

Additionally, we add the ability for allow-listed VMA flags to be
atomically writable with only mmap/VMA read locks held.

The only flag we allow so far is VM_MAYBE_GUARD, which we carefully ensure
does not cause any races by being allowed to do so.

This allows us to maintain guard region installation as a read-locked
operation and not endure the overhead of obtaining a write lock here.

Finally we introduce extensive VMA userland tests to assert that the
sticky VMA logic behaves correctly as well as guard region self tests to
assert that smaps visibility is correctly implemented.


This patch (of 9):

Currently, if a user needs to determine if guard regions are present in a
range, they have to scan all VMAs (or have knowledge of which ones might
have guard regions).

Since commit 8e2f2aeb8b ("fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to
pagemap") and the related commit a516403787 ("fs/proc: extend the
PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions"), users can use either
/proc/$pid/pagemap or the PAGEMAP_SCAN functionality to perform this
operation at a virtual address level.

This is not ideal, and it gives no visibility at a /proc/$pid/smaps level
that guard regions exist in ranges.

This patch remedies the situation by establishing a new VMA flag,
VM_MAYBE_GUARD, to indicate that a VMA may contain guard regions (it is
uncertain because we cannot reasonably determine whether a
MADV_GUARD_REMOVE call has removed all of the guard regions in a VMA, and
additionally VMAs may change across merge/split).

We utilise 0x800 for this flag which makes it available to 32-bit
architectures also, a flag that was previously used by VM_DENYWRITE, which
was removed in commit 8d0920bde5 ("mm: remove VM_DENYWRITE") and hasn't
bee reused yet.

We also update the smaps logic and documentation to identify these VMAs.

Another major use of this functionality is that we can use it to identify
that we ought to copy page tables on fork.

We do not actually implement usage of this flag in mm/madvise.c yet as we
need to allow some VMA flags to be applied atomically under mmap/VMA read
lock in order to avoid the need to acquire a write lock for this purpose.

2ec4196718 mm: handle poisoning of pfn without struct pages
Poison (or ECC) errors can be very common on a large size cluster.  The
kernel MM currently does not handle ECC errors / poison on a memory region
that is not backed by struct pages.  If a memory region mapped using
remap_pfn_range() for example, but not added to the kernel, MM will not
have associated struct pages.  Add a new mechanism to handle memory
failure on such memory.

Make kernel MM expose a function to allow modules managing the device
memory to register the device memory SPA and the address space associated
it.  MM maintains this information as an interval tree.  On poison, MM can
search for the range that the poisoned PFN belong and use the
address_space to determine the mapping VMA.

In this implementation, kernel MM follows the following sequence that is
largely similar to the memory_failure() handler for struct page backed
memory:

1. memory_failure() is triggered on reception of a poison error.  An
   absence of struct page is detected and consequently
   memory_failure_pfn() is executed.

2. memory_failure_pfn() collects the processes mapped to the PFN.

3. memory_failure_pfn() sends SIGBUS to all the processes mapping the
   faulty PFN using kill_procs().

Note that there is one primary difference versus the handling of the
poison on struct pages, which is to skip unmapping to the faulty PFN. 
This is done to handle the huge PFNMAP support added recently [1] that
enables VM_PFNMAP vmas to map at PMD or PUD level.  A poison to a PFN
mapped in such as way would need breaking the PMD/PUD mapping into PTEs
that will get mirrored into the S2.  This can greatly increase the cost of
table walks and have a major performance impact.

5ba2f0a155 mm: introduce deferred freeing for kernel page tables
This introduces a conditional asynchronous mechanism, enabled by
CONFIG_ASYNC_KERNEL_PGTABLE_FREE.  When enabled, this mechanism defers the
freeing of pages that are used as page tables for kernel address mappings.
These pages are now queued to a work struct instead of being freed
immediately.

This deferred freeing allows for batch-freeing of page tables, providing a
safe context for performing a single expensive operation (TLB flush) for a
batch of kernel page tables instead of performing that expensive operation
for each page table.

Note: Unconditionally clearing the 'kernel' marking (via

But having the if() makes it logically clear that this function can be

27bfafac65 mm: add a ptdesc flag to mark kernel page tables
The page tables used to map the kernel and userspace often have very
different handling rules.  There are frequently *_kernel() variants of
functions just for kernel page tables.  That's not great and has lead to
code duplication.

Instead of having completely separate call paths, allow a 'ptdesc' to be
marked as being for kernel mappings.  Introduce helpers to set and clear
this status.

Note: this uses the PG_referenced bit.  Page flags are a great fit for
this since it is truly a single bit of information.  Use PG_referenced
itself because it's a fairly benign flag (as opposed to things like
PG_lock).  It's also (according to Willy) unlikely to go away any time
soon.

PG_referenced is not in PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_FREE.  It does not need to be
cleared before freeing the page, and pages coming out of the allocator
should have it cleared.  Regardless, introduce an API to clear it anyway. 
Having symmetry in the API makes it easier to change the underlying
implementation later, like if there was a need to move to a
PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_FREE bit.

ac0a3fc9c0 mm: add ability to take further action in vm_area_desc
Some drivers/filesystems need to perform additional tasks after the VMA is
set up.  This is typically in the form of pre-population.

The forms of pre-population most likely to be performed are a PFN remap
or the insertion of normal folios and PFNs into a mixed map.

We start by implementing the PFN remap functionality, ensuring that we
perform the appropriate actions at the appropriate time - that is setting
flags at the point of .mmap_prepare, and performing the actual remap at the
point at which the VMA is fully established.

This prevents the driver from doing anything too crazy with a VMA at any
stage, and we retain complete control over how the mm functionality is
applied.

Unfortunately callers still do often require some kind of custom action,
so we add an optional success/error _hook to allow the caller to do
something after the action has succeeded or failed.

This is done at the point when the VMA has already been established, so
the harm that can be done is limited.

The error hook can be used to filter errors if necessary.

There may be cases in which the caller absolutely must hold the file rmap
lock until the operation is entirely complete. It is an edge case, but
certainly the hugetlbfs mmap hook requires it.

To accommodate this, we add the hide_from_rmap_until_complete flag to the
mmap_action type. In this case, if a new VMA is allocated, we will hold the
file rmap lock until the operation is entirely completed (including any
success/error hooks).

Note that we do not need to update __compat_vma_mmap() to accommodate this
flag, as this function will be invoked from an .mmap handler whose VMA is
not yet visible, so we implicitly hide it from the rmap.

If any error arises on these final actions, we simply unmap the VMA
altogether.

Also update the stacked filesystem compatibility layer to utilise the
action behaviour, and update the VMA tests accordingly.

While we're here, rename __compat_vma_mmap_prepare() to __compat_vma_mmap()
as we are now performing actions invoked by the mmap_prepare in addition to
just the mmap_prepare hook.

c707a68f94 mm: abstract io_remap_pfn_range() based on PFN
The only instances in which we customise this function are ones in which we
customise the PFN used.

Instances where architectures were not passing the pgprot value through
pgprot_decrypted() are ones where pgprot_decrypted() was a no-op anyway, so
we can simply always pass pgprot through this function.

Use this fact to simplify the use of io_remap_pfn_range(), by abstracting
the PFN via io_remap_pfn_range_pfn() and using this instead of providing a
general io_remap_pfn_range() function per-architecture.

51e38e7d40 mm: add remap_pfn_range_prepare(), remap_pfn_range_complete()
We need the ability to split PFN remap between updating the VMA and
performing the actual remap, in order to do away with the legacy f_op->mmap
hook.

To do so, update the PFN remap code to provide shared logic, and also make
remap_pfn_range_notrack() static, as its one user, io_mapping_map_user()
was removed in commit 9a4f90e246 ("mm: remove mm/io-mapping.c").

Then, introduce remap_pfn_range_prepare(), which accepts VMA descriptor
and PFN parameters, and remap_pfn_range_complete() which accepts the same
parameters as remap_pfn_rangte().

remap_pfn_range_prepare() will set the cow vma->vm_pgoff if necessary, so
it must be supplied with a correct PFN to do so.

While we're here, also clean up the duplicated #ifdef
__HAVE_PFNMAP_TRACKING check and put into a single #ifdef/#else block.

We keep these internal to mm as they should only be used by internal
helpers.

39231e8d6b mm: fix MAX_FOLIO_ORDER on powerpc configs with hugetlb
In the past, CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE indicated that we support
runtime allocation of gigantic hugetlb folios.  In the meantime it evolved
into a generic way for the architecture to state that it supports gigantic
hugetlb folios.

In commit fae7d834c4 ("mm: add __dump_folio()") we started using
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE to decide MAX_FOLIO_ORDER: whether we could
have folios larger than what the buddy can handle.  In the context of that
commit, we started using MAX_FOLIO_ORDER to detect page corruptions when
dumping tail pages of folios.  Before that commit, we assumed that we
cannot have folios larger than the highest buddy order, which was
obviously wrong.

In commit 7b4f21f5e0 ("mm/hugetlb: check for unreasonable folio sizes
when registering hstate"), we used MAX_FOLIO_ORDER to detect
inconsistencies, and in fact, we found some now.

Powerpc allows for configs that can allocate gigantic folio during boot
(not at runtime), that do not set CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE and can
exceed PUD_ORDER.

To fix it, let's make powerpc select CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE with
hugetlb on powerpc, and increase the maximum folio size with hugetlb to 16
GiB on 64bit (possible on arm64 and powerpc) and 1 GiB on 32 bit
(powerpc).  Note that on some powerpc configurations, whether we actually
have gigantic pages depends on the setting of CONFIG_ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER,
but there is nothing really problematic about setting it unconditionally:
we just try to keep the value small so we can better detect problems in
__dump_folio() and inconsistencies around the expected largest folio in
the system.

Ideally, we'd have a better way to obtain the maximum hugetlb folio size
and detect ourselves whether we really end up with gigantic folios.  Let's
defer bigger changes and fix the warnings first.

While at it, handle gigantic DAX folios more clearly: DAX can only end up
creating gigantic folios with HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD.

Add a new Kconfig option HAVE_GIGANTIC_FOLIOS to make both cases clearer. 
In particular, worry about ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE only with HUGETLB_PAGE.

Note: with enabling CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE on powerpc, we will now
also allow for runtime allocations of folios in some more powerpc configs.
I don't think this is a problem, but if it is we could handle it through
__HAVE_ARCH_GIGANTIC_PAGE_RUNTIME_SUPPORTED.

While __dump_page()/__dump_folio was also problematic (not handling
dumping of tail pages of such gigantic folios correctly), it doesn't seem
critical enough to mark it as a fix.

Kernel panics because it detects UFFD inconsistency during
userfaultfd_release_all().  Specifically, a VMA which has a valid pointer
to vma->vm_userfaultfd_ctx, but no UFFD flags in vma->vm_flags.

The inconsistency is caused in ksm_madvise(): when user calls madvise()
with MADV_UNMEARGEABLE on a VMA that is registered for UFFD in MINOR mode,
it accidentally clears all flags stored in the upper 32 bits of
vma->vm_flags.

Assuming x86_64 kernel build, unsigned long is 64-bit and unsigned int and
int are 32-bit wide.  This setup causes the following mishap during the &=
~VM_MERGEABLE assignment.

VM_MERGEABLE is a 32-bit constant of type unsigned int, 0x8000'0000. 
After ~ is applied, it becomes 0x7fff'ffff unsigned int, which is then
promoted to unsigned long before the & operation.  This promotion fills
upper 32 bits with leading 0s, as we're doing unsigned conversion (and
even for a signed conversion, this wouldn't help as the leading bit is 0).
& operation thus ends up AND-ing vm_flags with 0x0000'0000'7fff'ffff
instead of intended 0xffff'ffff'7fff'ffff and hence accidentally clears
the upper 32-bits of its value.

Fix it by changing `VM_MERGEABLE` constant to unsigned long, using the
BIT() macro.

Note: other VM_* flags are not affected: This only happens to the
VM_MERGEABLE flag, as the other VM_* flags are all constants of type int
and after ~ operation, they end up with leading 1 and are thus converted
to unsigned long with leading 1s.

Note 2:
After commit 31defc3b01 ("userfaultfd: remove (VM_)BUG_ON()s"), this is
no longer a kernel BUG, but a WARNING at the same place:

[   45.595973] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2474 at mm/userfaultfd.c:2067

but the root-cause (flag-drop) remains the same.

95920c2ed0 page_pool: Fix PP_MAGIC_MASK to avoid crashing on some 32-bit arches
Helge reported that the introduction of PP_MAGIC_MASK let to crashes on
boot on his 32-bit parisc machine. The cause of this is the mask is set
too wide, so the page_pool_page_is_pp() incurs false positives which
crashes the machine.

Just disabling the check in page_pool_is_pp() will lead to the page_pool
code itself malfunctioning; so instead of doing this, this patch changes
the define for PP_DMA_INDEX_BITS to avoid mistaking arbitrary kernel
pointers for page_pool-tagged pages.

The fix relies on the kernel pointers that alias with the pp_magic field
always being above PAGE_OFFSET. With this assumption, we can use the
lowest bit of the value of PAGE_OFFSET as the upper bound of the
PP_DMA_INDEX_MASK, which should avoid the false positives.

Because we cannot rely on PAGE_OFFSET always being a compile-time
constant, nor on it always being >0, we fall back to disabling the
dma_index storage when there are not enough bits available. This leaves
us in the situation we were in before the patch in the Fixes tag, but
only on a subset of architecture configurations. This seems to be the
best we can do until the transition to page types in complete for
page_pool pages.

v2:
- Make sure there's at least 8 bits available and that the PAGE_OFFSET
  bit calculation doesn't wrap

929bf010e0 mm: introduce num_pages_contiguous()
Let's add a simple helper for determining the number of contiguous pages
that represent contiguous PFNs.

In an ideal world, this helper would be simpler or not even required.
Unfortunately, on some configs we still have to maintain (SPARSEMEM
without VMEMMAP), the memmap is allocated per memory section, and we might
run into weird corner cases of false positives when blindly testing for
contiguous pages only.

One example of such false positives would be a memory section-sized hole
that does not have a memmap. The surrounding memory sections might get
"struct pages" that are contiguous, but the PFNs are actually not.

This helper will, for example, be useful for determining contiguous PFNs
in a GUP result, to batch further operations across returned "struct
page"s. VFIO will utilize this interface to accelerate the VFIO DMA map
process.

Implementation based on Linus' suggestions to avoid new usage of
nth_page() where avoidable.

KCSAN reports a data race on mm_cluster.hiwater_rss, which can be accessed
concurrently from various paths like page migration and memory unmapping
without synchronization.

Since hiwater_rss is a statistical field for accounting purposes, this
data race is benign.  Annotate both the read and write accesses with
data_race() to make KCSAN happy.

Patch series "Small cleanups".

These small cleanups can be applied now to reduce conflicts during the
next merge window.  They're all from various efforts to split struct page
from other memdescs.  Thanks to Vlastimil for the suggestion.


This patch (of 3):

These functions do not modify their arguments.  Telling the compiler this
may improve code generation, and allows us to pass const arguments from
other functions.

fa17bcd5f6 mm: make folio page count functions return unsigned
As raised by Andrew [1], a folio/compound page never spans a negative
number of pages.  Consequently, let's use "unsigned long" instead of
"long" consistently for folio_nr_pages(), folio_large_nr_pages() and
compound_nr().

Using "unsigned long" as return value is fine, because even
"(long)-folio_nr_pages()" will keep on working as expected.  Using
"unsigned int" instead would actually break these use cases.

This patch takes the first step changing these to return unsigned long
(and making drm_gem_get_pages() use the new types instead of replacing
min()).

In the future, we might want to make more callers of these functions to
consistently use "unsigned long".

522abd9227 ptdesc: convert __page_flags to pt_flags
Patch series "Some ptdesc cleanups".

The first two patches here are preparation for splitting struct ptdesc
from struct page and struct folio.  I think their only dependency is on
the memdesc_flags_t patches from August which is in mm-new.  The third
patch is just something I noticed while working on the code.


This patch (of 3):

Use the new memdesc_flags_t type to show that these are the same bits as
page/folio/slab and thesefore have the zone/node/section information in
them.  Remove a use of ptdesc_folio() by converting
pagetable_is_reserved() to use test_bit() directly.

8eccb066f2 mm: constify shmem related test functions for improved const-correctness
Patch series "mm: establish const-correctness for pointer parameters", v6.

This series is to improved const-correctness in the low-level
memory-management subsystem, which provides a basis for further
constification further up the call stack (e.g.  filesystems).

I started this work when I tried to constify the Ceph filesystem code, but
found that to be impossible because many "mm" functions accept non-const
pointers, even though they modify nothing.


This patch (of 12):

We select certain test functions which either invoke each other, functions
that are already const-ified, or no further functions.

It is therefore relatively trivial to const-ify them, which provides a
basis for further const-ification further up the call stack.

6972706f95 mm/cma: refuse handing out non-contiguous page ranges
Let's disallow handing out PFN ranges with non-contiguous pages, so we can
remove the nth-page usage in __cma_alloc(), and so any callers don't have
to worry about that either when wanting to blindly iterate pages.

This is really only a problem in configs with SPARSEMEM but without
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, and only when we would cross memory sections in some
cases.

Will this cause harm?  Probably not, because it's mostly 32bit that does
not support SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.  If this ever becomes a problem we could
look into allocating the memmap for the memory sections spanned by a
single CMA region in one go from memblock.

4751c39eee mm: limit folio/compound page sizes in problematic kernel configs
Let's limit the maximum folio size in problematic kernel config where the
memmap is allocated per memory section (SPARSEMEM without
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP) to a single memory section.

Currently, only a single architectures supports ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE but
not SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP: sh.

Fortunately, the biggest hugetlb size sh supports is 64 MiB
(HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_64MB) and the section size is at least 64 MiB
(SECTION_SIZE_BITS == 26), so their use case is not degraded.

As folios and memory sections are naturally aligned to their order-2 size
in memory, consequently a single folio can no longer span multiple memory
sections on these problematic kernel configs.

nth_page() is no longer required when operating within a single compound
page / folio.

53fbef56e0 mm: introduce memdesc_flags_t
Patch series "Add and use memdesc_flags_t".

At some point struct page will be separated from struct slab and struct
folio.  This is a step towards that by introducing a type for the 'flags'
word of all three structures.  This gives us a certain amount of type
safety by establishing that some of these unsigned longs are different
from other unsigned longs in that they contain things like node ID,
section number and zone number in the upper bits.  That lets us have
functions that can be easily called by anyone who has a slab, folio or
page (but not easily by anyone else) to get the node or zone.

There's going to be some unusual merge problems with this as some odd bits
of the kernel decide they want to print out the flags value or something
similar by writing page->flags and now they'll need to write page->flags.f
instead.  That's most of the churn here.  Maybe we should be removing
these things from the debug output?


This patch (of 11):

Wrap the unsigned long flags in a typedef.  In upcoming patches, this will
provide a strong hint that you can't just pass a random unsigned long to
functions which take this as an argument.

8166353fb8 mm: replace mm->flags with bitmap entirely and set to 64 bits
Now we have updated all users of mm->flags to use the bitmap accessors,
repalce it with the bitmap version entirely.

We are then able to move to having 64 bits of mm->flags on both 32-bit and
64-bit architectures.

We also update the VMA userland tests to ensure that everything remains
functional there.

No functional changes intended, other than there now being 64 bits of
available mm_struct flags.

12e423ba4e mm: convert core mm to mm_flags_*() accessors
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.

bb6525f2f8 mm: add bitmap mm->flags field
Patch series "mm: make mm->flags a bitmap and 64-bit on all arches".

We are currently in the bizarre situation where we are constrained on the
number of flags we can set in an mm_struct based on whether this is a
32-bit or 64-bit kernel.

This is because mm->flags is an unsigned long field, which is 32-bits on a
32-bit system and 64-bits on a 64-bit system.

In order to keep things functional across both architectures, we do not
permit mm flag bits to be set above flag 31 (i.e.  the 32nd bit).

This is a silly situation, especially given how profligate we are in
storing metadata in mm_struct, so let's convert mm->flags into a bitmap
and allow ourselves as many bits as we like.

In order to execute this change, we introduce a new opaque type -
mm_flags_t - which wraps a bitmap.

We go further and mark the bitmap field __private, which forces users to
have to use accessors, which allows us to enforce atomicity rules around
mm->flags (except on those occasions they are not required - fork, etc.)
and makes it far easier to keep track of how mm flags are being utilised.

In order to implement this change sensibly and an an iterative way, we
start by introducing the type with the same bitsize as the current mm
flags (system word size) and place it in union with mm->flags.

We are then able to gradually update users as we go without being forced
to do everything in a single patch.

In the course of working on this series I noticed the MMF_* flag masks
encounter a sign extension bug that, due to the 32-bit limit on mm->flags
thus far, has not caused any issues in practice, but required fixing for
this series.

We must make special dispensation for two cases - coredump and
initailisation on fork, but of which use masks extensively.

Since coredump flags are set in stone, we can safely assume they will
remain in the first 32-bits of the flags.  We therefore provide special
non-atomic accessors for this case that access the first system word of
flags, keeping everything there essentially the same.

For mm->flags initialisation on fork, we adjust the logic to ensure all
bits are cleared correctly, and then adjust the existing intialisation
logic, dubbing the implementation utilising flags as legacy.

This means we get the same fast operations as we do now, but in future we
can also choose to update the forking logic to additionally propagate
flags beyond 32-bits across fork.

With this change in place we can, in future, decide to have as many bits
as we please.

Since the size of the bitmap will scale in system word multiples, there
should be no issues with changes in alignment in mm_struct.  Additionally,
the really sensitive field (mmap_lock) is located prior to the flags field
so this should have no impact on that either.


This patch (of 10):

We are currently in the bizarre situation where we are constrained on the
number of flags we can set in an mm_struct based on whether this is a
32-bit or 64-bit kernel.

This is because mm->flags is an unsigned long field, which is 32-bits on a
32-bit system and 64-bits on a 64-bit system.

In order to keep things functional across both architectures, we do not
permit mm flag bits to be set above flag 31 (i.e.  the 32nd bit).

This is a silly situation, especially given how profligate we are in
storing metadata in mm_struct, so let's convert mm->flags into a bitmap
and allow ourselves as many bits as we like.

To keep things manageable, firstly we introduce the bitmap at a system
word system as a new field mm->_flags, in union.

This means the new bitmap mm->_flags is bitwise exactly identical to the
existing mm->flags field.

We have an opportunity to also introduce some type safety here, so let's
wrap the mm flags field as a struct and declare it as an mm_flags_t
typedef to keep it consistent with vm_flags_t for VMAs.

We make the internal field privately accessible, in order to force the use
of helper functions so we can enforce that accesses are bitwise as
required.

We therefore introduce accessors prefixed with mm_flags_*() for callers to
use.  We place the bit parameter first so as to match the parameter
ordering of the *_bit() functions.

Having this temporary union arrangement allows us to incrementally swap
over users of mm->flags patch-by-patch rather than having to do everything
in one fell swoop.

4c89792ea0 mm: rename vm_ops->find_special_page() to vm_ops->find_normal_page()
...  and hide it behind a kconfig option.  There is really no need for any
!xen code to perform this check.

The naming is a bit off: we want to find the "normal" page when a PTE was
marked "special".  So it's really not "finding a special" page.

Improve the documentation, and add a comment in the code where XEN ends up
performing the pte_mkspecial() through a hypercall.  More details can be
found in commit 923b2919e2 ("xen/gntdev: mark userspace PTEs as special
on x86 PV guests").

2db308160b mm: introduce and use vm_normal_page_pud()
Let's introduce vm_normal_page_pud(), which ends up being fairly simple
because of our new common helpers and there not being a PUD-sized zero
folio.

Use vm_normal_page_pud() in folio_walk_start() to resolve a TODO,
structuring the code like the other (pmd/pte) cases.  Defer introducing
vm_normal_folio_pud() until really used.

Note that we can so far get PUDs with hugetlb, daxfs and PFNMAP entries.

f225b34f1e mm/mseal: always define VM_SEALED
Patch series "mseal cleanups", v4.

Perform a number of cleanups to the mseal logic.  Firstly, VM_SEALED is
treated differently from every other VMA flag, it really doesn't make
sense to do this, so we start by making this consistent with everything
else.

Next we place the madvise logic where it belongs - in mm/madvise.c.  It
really makes no sense to abstract this elsewhere.  In doing so, we go to
great lengths to explain very clearly the previously very confusing logic
as to what sealed mappings are impacted here.

In doing so, we retain existing logic regarding treatment of madvise()
discard operations for a sealed, read-only MAP_PRIVATE file-backed
mapping.  This is something we likely need to revisit.

We then abstract out and explain the 'are there are any gaps in this range
in the mm?' check being performed as a prerequisite to mseal being
performed.

Finally, we simplify the actual mseal logic which is really quite
straightforward.

No functional change is intended.


This patch (of 4):

There is no reason to treat VM_SEALED in a special way, in each other case
in which a VMA flag is unavailable due to configuration, we simply assign
that flag to VM_NONE, so make VM_SEALED consistent with all other VMA
flags in this respect.

Additionally, use the next available bit for VM_SEALED, 42, rather than
arbitrarily putting it at 63 and update the declaration to match all other
VMA flags.

No functional change intended.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "As usual, many cleanups. The below blurbiage describes 42 patchsets.
  21 of those are partially or fully cleanup work. "cleans up",
  "cleanup", "maintainability", "rationalizes", etc.

  I never knew the MM code was so dirty.

  "mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     addresses an issue with KSM's PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly
     mapped VMAs were not eligible for merging with existing adjacent
     VMAs.

  "mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park)
     adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of
     DAMON in production environments.

  "stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig)
     is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of
     pointers from struct writeback_control.

  "drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom)
     contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and
     management code.

  "mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman)
     does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code.

  "Readahead tweaks for larger folios" (Ryan Roberts)
     implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading
     into order>0 folios.

  "selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown)
     provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the
     selftests code.

  "Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
     does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a
     memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark.

  "Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox)
     expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page().

  "mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand)
     addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code.
     These were not known to be causing any issues at this time.

  "mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park)
     provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON.

  "use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other
     types.

  "mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy)
     increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd
     code.

  "mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple)
     removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags.

  "mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park)
     implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON
     sysfs layer.

  "madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code.

  "madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka)
     provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort.

  "Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador)
     creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes.
     Previously these were lumped under the more general memory
     on/offline notifier.

  "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan)
     cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue
     which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice.

  "selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park)
     adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are
     more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite.

  "Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" (Oscar Salvador)
     fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and
     follows that fix with a series of cleanups.

  "cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport)
     rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA
     allocator.

  "mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand)
     provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code.

  "mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park)
     adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code.

  "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park)
     does that.

  "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park)
     also does what it claims.

  "mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand)
     cleans up the large folio PTE batching code.

  "mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park)
     facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation
     policy.

  "Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola)
     provides a couple of page->folio conversions.

  "mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso)
     implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the
     current memcg-based implementation.

  "mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park)
     replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and
     powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface.

  "mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation
     for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping
     of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still
     excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed
     reliably.

  "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga)
     switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and
     removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range().

  "mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park)
     augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs
     monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a
     tunable to control the update interval.

  "Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi)
     does what is claims.

  "mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand)
     provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab
     a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping
     over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe
     directly.

  "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan)
     addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by
     reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more than
     half in some situations. The series also introduces several new
     selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface.

  "__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan)
     cleans up __folio_split()!

  "Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
     provides some quite large (>3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing
     with large folios.

  "selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" (wang lian)
     does some cleanup work in the selftests code.

  "tools/testing: expand mremap testing" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding
     more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of
     multiple VMAs" feature.

  "selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters" (SeongJae Park)
     extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it tests all
     possible user-requested parameters. Rather than the present minimal
     subset"
