git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that). - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock contention. Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees. Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up. - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down to the single bit level. KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones. - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of memory into THPs. - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to support file/shmem-backed pages. - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and memory-failure - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages. - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced memory consumption. - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song. - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner. - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :( - migration enhancements from Peter Xu - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM drivers, etc. - vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn. - NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand. - xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging activity. - THP & KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng. - more folio work from Matthew Wilcox. - KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov. - DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia. - DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups. - hugetlb sysfs cleanups from Muchun Song. - Mike Kravetz fixes locking issues in hugetlbfs and in hugetlb core.

2022-09-11memory tiering: rate limit NUMA migration throughputHuang Ying1-0/+11
In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote hot/cold pages between the fast and cold memory nodes. A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow memory bandwidth contention. A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patch as the page promotion rate limit mechanism. The number of the candidate pages to be promoted to the fast memory node via NUMA balancing is counted, if the count exceeds the limit specified by the users, the NUMA balancing promotion will be stopped until the next second. A new sysctl knob kernel.numa_balancing_promote_rate_limit_MBps is added for the users to specify the limit.

2022-08-22Remove DECnet support from kernelStephen Hemminger1-7/+8
DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol history museum not in Linux kernel. It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well. Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling. This means that there is still an empty neighbour table for AF_DECNET. The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.

2022-07-27powerpc/pseries/mobility: set NMI watchdog factor during an LPMLaurent Dufour1-0/+12
During an LPM, while the memory transfer is in progress on the arrival side, some latencies are generated when accessing not yet transferred pages on the arrival side. Thus, the NMI watchdog may be triggered too frequently, which increases the risk to hit an NMI interrupt in a bad place in the kernel, leading to a kernel panic. Disabling the Hard Lockup Watchdog until the memory transfer could be a too strong work around, some users would want this timeout to be eventually triggered if the system is hanging even during an LPM. Introduce a new sysctl variable nmi_watchdog_factor. It allows to apply a factor to the NMI watchdog timeout during an LPM. Just before the CPUs are stopped for the switchover sequence, the NMI watchdog timer is set to watchdog_thresh + factor% A value of 0 has no effect. The default value is 200, meaning that the NMI watchdog is set to 30s during LPM (based on a 10s watchdog_thresh value). Once the memory transfer is achieved, the factor is reset to 0. Setting this value to a high number is like disabling the NMI watchdog during an LPM.

2022-07-03mm: memory_hotplug: make hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap compatible with ↵Muchun Song1-3/+2
memmap_on_memory For now, the feature of hugetlb_free_vmemmap is not compatible with the feature of memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory, and hugetlb_free_vmemmap takes precedence over memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory. However, someone wants to make memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory takes precedence over hugetlb_free_vmemmap since memmap_on_memory makes it more likely to succeed memory hotplug in close-to-OOM situations. So the decision of making hugetlb_free_vmemmap take precedence is not wise and elegant. The proper approach is to have hugetlb_vmemmap.c do the check whether the section which the HugeTLB pages belong to can be optimized. If the section's vmemmap pages are allocated from the added memory block itself, hugetlb_free_vmemmap should refuse to optimize the vmemmap, otherwise, do the optimization. Then both kernel parameters are compatible. So this patch introduces VmemmapSelfHosted to mask any non-optimizable vmemmap pages. The hugetlb_vmemmap can use this flag to detect if a vmemmap page can be optimized.

2022-05-13mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: add hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap sysctlMuchun Song1-0/+39
We must add hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on (or "off") to the boot cmdline and reboot the server to enable or disable the feature of optimizing vmemmap pages associated with HugeTLB pages. However, rebooting usually takes a long time. So add a sysctl to enable or disable the feature at runtime without rebooting. Why we need this? There are 3 use cases. 1) The feature of minimizing overhead of struct page associated with each HugeTLB is disabled by default without passing "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" to the boot cmdline. When we (ByteDance) deliver the servers to the users who want to enable this feature, they have to configure the grub (change boot cmdline) and reboot the servers, whereas rebooting usually takes a long time (we have thousands of servers). It's a very bad experience for the users. So we need a approach to enable this feature after rebooting. This is a use case in our practical environment. 2) Some use cases are that HugeTLB pages are allocated 'on the fly' instead of being pulled from the HugeTLB pool, those workloads would be affected with this feature enabled. Those workloads could be identified by the characteristics of they never explicitly allocating huge pages with 'nr_hugepages' but only set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages' and then let the pages be allocated from the buddy allocator at fault time. We can confirm it is a real use case from the commit 099730d67417. For those workloads, the page fault time could be ~2x slower than before. We suspect those users want to disable this feature if the system has enabled this before and they don't think the memory savings benefit is enough to make up for the performance drop. 3) If the workload which wants vmemmap pages to be optimized and the workload which wants to set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages' and does not want the extera overhead at fault time when the overcommitted pages be allocated from the buddy allocator are deployed in the same server. The user could enable this feature and set 'nr_hugepages' and 'nr_overcommit_hugepages', then disable the feature. In this case, the overcommited HugeTLB pages will not encounter the extra overhead at fault time.
