mm: start background writeback based on per-wb threshold for strictlimit BDIs
The proactive nr_dirty > gdtc->bg_thresh check in balance_dirty_pages()
only checks the global dirty threshold to start background writeback while
the writer is still free-running, but for strictlimit BDIs (eg fuse), the
per-wb dirty count can exceed the per-wb background threshold while the
global threshold is not yet exceeded, so background writeback for this
case never gets proactively started.
Add a per-wb threshold check for strictlimit BDIs so that background
writeback is started when wb_dirty exceeds wb_bg_thresh, which drains
dirty pages before the writer hits the throttle wall, matching the
proactive behavior that the global check provides for non-strictlimit
BDIs.
fio runs on fuse show about a 3-4% improvement in perf for buffered

mm/block/fs: remove laptop_mode
Laptop mode was introduced to save battery, by delaying and consolidating writes and thereby maximize the time rotating hard drives wouldn't have to spin. Luckily, rotating hard drives, with their high spin-up times and power draw, are a thing of the past for battery-powered devices. Reclaim has also since changed to not write single filesystem pages anymore, and regular filesystem writeback is lumpy by design. The juice doesn't appear worth the squeeze anymore. The footprint of the feature is small, but nevertheless it's a complicating factor in mm, block, filesystems. Developers don't think about it, and it likely hasn't been tested with new reclaim and writeback changes in years. Let's sunset it. Keep the sysctl with a deprecation warning around for a few more cycles, but remove all functionality behind it.

from the old ->mmap() over to ->mmap_prepare().
- The 8 patch series "Fix stale IOTLB entries for kernel address space"
from Lu Baolu fixes a bug (and possible security issue on non-x86) in
the IOMMU code. In some situations the IOMMU could be left hanging onto
a stale kernel pagetable entry.

memcg: remove __lruvec_stat_mod_folio
__lruvec_stat_mod_folio() is already safe against irqs, so there is no need to have a separate interface (i.e. lruvec_stat_mod_folio) which wraps calls to it with irq disabling and reenabling. Let's rename __lruvec_stat_mod_folio() to lruvec_stat_mod_folio().

mm/page-writeback: drop usage of folio_index
folio_index is only needed for mixed usage of page cache and swap cache. The remaining three caller in page-writeback are for page cache tag marking. Swap cache space doesn't use tag (explicitly sets mapping_set_no_writeback_tags), so use folio->index here directly.

- The 11 patch series "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox
simplifies the act of creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide this. - The 8 patch series "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up and better prepare us for future work. - The 3 patch series "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory block size. - The 2 patch series "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's memory consumption was dramatic. - The 8 patch series "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to this part of our swap handling code. - The 6 patch series "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this time we can alter only "system call information that are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall arguments, and syscall return value. This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM" branch, but I goofed. - The 3 patch series "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get at the info about guard regions. - The 2 patch series "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error. - The 3 patch series "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of using more current facilities. - The 3 patch series "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are enabled for ARM. - The 12 patch series "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky "ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables". This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page tables". This change does result in various architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur. - The 9 patch series "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures. - The 3 patch series "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've been missing for 15 years. - The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to load this particular operation. - The 6 patch series "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly reduced. - The 3 patch series "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code. - The 3 patch series ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit. - The 7 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON for memory tiering. - The 5 patch series "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan found via code inspection. - The 2 patch series "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price "changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when possible". because "presently, reclaim explicitly ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset settings to violated." "This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently." - The 2 patch series ""Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code. - The 3 patch series "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization. - The 4 patch series "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen. This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios. - The 17 patch series "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved. - The 7 patch series "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping ranges of invalid pfns. - The 2 patch series "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode. Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases. - The 2 patch series "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when using JFS. - The 4 patch series "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more appropriate mm/vma.c. - The 6 patch series "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index() function. - The 2 patch series "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that. - The 8 patch series "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the test_memcontrol selftest. - The 3 patch series "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare(). The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging. - The 4 patch series "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one. This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement. - The 6 patch series "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and documents" from SeongJae Park is "yet another batch of miscellaneous DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and documents." - The 7 patch series "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to making memcg charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement. - The 4 patch series "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related functions take folio instead of page" from Fan Ni provides folio conversions in the hugetlb code. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYKAB0WIQTTMBEPP41GrTpTJgfdBJ7gKXxAjgUCaDt5qgAKCRDdBJ7gKXxA ju6XAP9nTiSfRz8Cz1n5LJZpFKEGzLpSihCYyR6P3o1L9oe3mwEAlZ5+XAwk2I5x Qqb/UGMEpilyre1PayQqOnct3aSL9Ao= =tYYm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mm-stable-2025-05-31-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox simplifies the act of creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide this. - "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up and better prepare us for future work. - "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory block size. - "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive compaction.

This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM" branch, but I goofed. - "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get at the info about guard regions. - "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error. - "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of using more current facilities. - "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are enabled for ARM. - "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables. This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page tables". This change does result in various architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur. - "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures. - "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've been missing for 15 years. - "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to load this particular operation. - "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly reduced. - "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code. - ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit. - "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON for memory tiering. - "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan found via code inspection. - "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset settings to violated. This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently. - "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code. - "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization. - "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen. This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios. - "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved. - "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range.

mm: fix ratelimit_pages update error in dirty_ratio_handler()
In dirty_ratio_handler(), vm_dirty_bytes must be set to zero before
calling writeback_set_ratelimit(), as global_dirty_limits() always
prioritizes the value of vm_dirty_bytes.
It's domain_dirty_limits() that's relevant here, not node_dirty_ok:
dirty_ratio_handler
writeback_set_ratelimit
global_dirty_limits(&dirty_thresh) <- ratelimit_pages based on dirty_thresh
domain_dirty_limits
if (bytes) <- bytes = vm_dirty_bytes <--------+
thresh = f1(bytes) <- prioritizes vm_dirty_bytes |
else |
thresh = f2(ratio) |
ratelimit_pages = f3(dirty_thresh) |
vm_dirty_bytes = 0 <- it's late! ---------------------+
This causes ratelimit_pages to still use the value calculated based on
vm_dirty_bytes, which is wrong now.
The impact visible to userspace is difficult to capture directly because
there is no procfs/sysfs interface exported to user space. However, it
will have a real impact on the balance of dirty pages.
For example:
1. On default, we have vm_dirty_ratio=40, vm_dirty_bytes=0
2. echo 8192 > dirty_bytes, then vm_dirty_bytes=8192,
vm_dirty_ratio=0, and ratelimit_pages is calculated based on
vm_dirty_bytes now.
3. echo 20 > dirty_ratio, then since vm_dirty_bytes is not reset to
zero when writeback_set_ratelimit() -> global_dirty_limits() ->
domain_dirty_limits() is called, reallimit_pages is still calculated
based on vm_dirty_bytes instead of vm_dirty_ratio. This does not
conform to the actual intent of the user.

writeback: let trace_balance_dirty_pages() take struct dtc as parameter
Patch series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb", v2. In my experiment, I found that the output of trace_balance_dirty_pages() in the cgroup writeback scenario was strange because trace_balance_dirty_pages() always uses global_wb_domain.dirty_limit for related calculations instead of the dirty_limit of the corresponding memcg's wb_domain. The basic idea of the fix is to store the hard dirty limit value computed in wb_position_ratio() into struct dirty_throttle_control and use it for calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages(). This patch (of 3): Currently, trace_balance_dirty_pages() already has 12 parameters. In the patch #3, I initially attempted to introduce an additional parameter. However, in include/linux/trace_events.h, bpf_trace_run12() only supports up to 12 parameters and bpf_trace_run13() does not exist. To reduce the number of parameters in trace_balance_dirty_pages(), we can make it accept a pointer to struct dirty_throttle_control as a parameter. To achieve this, we need to move the definition of struct dirty_throttle_control from mm/page-writeback.c to include/linux/writeback.h.

treewide: const qualify ctl_tables where applicable
Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.
Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit

mm: fix div by zero in bdi_ratio_from_pages
During testing it has been detected, that it is possible to get div by zero error in bdi_set_min_bytes. The error is caused by the function bdi_ratio_from_pages(). bdi_ratio_from_pages() calls global_dirty_limits. If the dirty threshold is 0, the div by zero is raised. This can happen if the root user is setting: echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio The following is a test case: echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio cd /sys/class/bdi/<device> echo 1 > strict_limit echo 8192 > min_bytes ==> error is raised. The problem is addressed by returning -EINVAL if dirty_ratio or dirty_bytes is set to 0.

memcg-v1: no need for memcg locking for writeback tracking
During the era of memcg charge migration, the kernel has to be make sure that the writeback stat updates do not race with the charge migration. Otherwise it might update the writeback stats of the wrong memcg. Now with the memcg charge migration gone, there is no more race for writeback stat updates and the previous locking can be removed.

mm/page-writeback: raise wb_thresh to prevent write blocking with strictlimit
With the strictlimit flag, wb_thresh acts as a hard limit in balance_dirty_pages() and wb_position_ratio(). When device write operations are inactive, wb_thresh can drop to 0, causing writes to be blocked. The issue occasionally occurs in fuse fs, particularly with network backends, the write thread is blocked frequently during a period. To address it, this patch raises the minimum wb_thresh to a controllable level, similar to the non-strictlimit case.

ALong with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series in
this pull request are:
"Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.
"Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes - mode
code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.
"mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No functional
changes - code cleanups only.
"Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a little
cleanup.
"mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and
simplifications and .text shrinkage.
"Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel Butt. This
is a feature, it adds new feilds to /proc/vmstat such as
$ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
kstack_1k 3
kstack_2k 188
kstack_4k 11391
kstack_8k 243
kstack_16k 0
which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at all
used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but partivularly useful
for "the dynamic kernel stack project".
"kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel Tikhomirov.
Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.

sched/rt: Clean up usage of rt_task()
rt_task() checks if a task has RT priority. But depends on your dictionary, this could mean it belongs to RT class, or is a 'realtime' task, which includes RT and DL classes. Since this has caused some confusion already on discussion [1], it seemed a clean up is due. I define the usage of rt_task() to be tasks that belong to RT class. Make sure that it returns true only for RT class and audit the users and replace the ones required the old behavior with the new realtime_task() which returns true for RT and DL classes. Introduce similar realtime_prio() to create similar distinction to rt_prio() and update the users that required the old behavior to use the new function. Move MAX_DL_PRIO to prio.h so it can be used in the new definitions. Document the functions to make it more obvious what is the difference between them. PI-boosted tasks is a factor that must be taken into account when choosing which function to use. Rename task_is_realtime() to realtime_task_policy() as the old name is confusing against the new realtime_task(). No functional changes were intended.

* Code formatting was adjusted in xfs_sysctl.c to comply with code
conventions. The xfs_stats_clear_proc_handler,
xfs_panic_mask_proc_handler and xfs_deprecated_dointvec_minmax where
adjusted.
* The ctl_table argument in proc_watchdog_common was const qualified.
This is called from a proc_handler itself and is calling back into
another proc_handler, making it necessary to change it as part of the
proc_handler migration.

mm: avoid overflows in dirty throttling logic
The dirty throttling logic is interspersed with assumptions that dirty limits in PAGE_SIZE units fit into 32-bit (so that various multiplications fit into 64-bits). If limits end up being larger, we will hit overflows, possible divisions by 0 etc. Fix these problems by never allowing so large dirty limits as they have dubious practical value anyway. For dirty_bytes / dirty_background_bytes interfaces we can just refuse to set so large limits. For dirty_ratio / dirty_background_ratio it isn't so simple as the dirty limit is computed from the amount of available memory which can change due to memory hotplug etc. So when converting dirty limits from ratios to numbers of pages, we just don't allow the result to exceed UINT_MAX. This is root-only triggerable problem which occurs when the operator sets dirty limits to >16 TB.

Revert "mm/writeback: fix possible divide-by-zero in wb_dirty_limits(), again"
Patch series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling". Dirty throttling logic assumes dirty limits in page units fit into 32-bits. This patch series makes sure this is true (see patch 2/2 for more details). This patch (of 2): This reverts commit |
