This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the empty
elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which will reduce
the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory bloat by ~64
bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)
Remove sentinel from all files under mm/ that register a sysctl table.

Implements the "init_mlocked_on_free" boot option. When this boot option
is enabled, any mlock'ed pages are zeroed on free. If
the pages are munlock'ed beforehand, no initialization takes place.
This boot option is meant to combat the performance hit of
"init_on_free" as reported in commit 6471384af2a6 ("mm: security:
introduce init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 boot options"). With
"init_mlocked_on_free=1" only relevant data is freed while everything
else is left untouched by the kernel. Correspondingly, this patch
introduces no performance hit for unmapping non-mlock'ed memory. The
unmapping overhead for purely mlocked memory was measured to be
approximately 13%. Realistically, most systems mlock only a fraction of
the total memory so the real-world system overhead should be close to
zero.
Optimally, userspace programs clear any key material or other
confidential memory before exit and munlock the according memory
regions. If a program crashes, userspace key managers fail to do this
job. Accordingly, no munlock operations are performed so the data is
caught and zeroed by the kernel. Should the program not crash, all
memory will ideally be munlocked so no overhead is caused.
CONFIG_INIT_MLOCKED_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON can be set to enable
"init_mlocked_on_free" by default.

Earlier, in commit 1dd214b8f21c ("mm: page_alloc: avoid merging
non-fallbackable pageblocks with others"), migrate type MIGRATE_CMA and
MIGRATE_ISOLATE are removed from fallbacks list since they are never used.
Later on, in commit ("aa02d3c174ab mm/page_alloc: reduce fallbacks to
(MIGRATE_PCPTYPES - 1)"), the array column size is reduced to
'MIGRATE_PCPTYPES - 1'. In fact, the array row size need be reduced to
MIGRATE_PCPTYPES too since it's only covering rows of the number
MIGRATE_PCPTYPES. Even though the current code has handled cases
when the migratetype is CMA, HIGHATOMIC and MEMORY_ISOLATION, making
the row size right is still good to avoid future error and confusion.

On one node, for lower zone's ->lowmem_reserve[], it will show how much
memory is reserved in this lower zone to avoid excessive page allocation
from the relevant higher zone's fallback allocation.
However, currently lower zone's lowmem_reserve[] element will be filled
even though the relevant higher zone is empty. That doesnt' make sense
and can cause confusion.
E.g on node 0 of one system as below, it has zone
DMA/DMA32/NORMAL/MOVABLE/DEVICE, among them zone MOVABLE/DEVICE are the
highest and both are empty. In zone DMA/DMA32's protection array, we can
see that it has value for zone MOVABLE and DEVICE.

Patch series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent", v2.
As discussed in previous thread [1], there is an inconsistency when
handling hugetlb migration. When handling the migration of freed hugetlb,
it prevents fallback to other NUMA nodes in
alloc_and_dissolve_hugetlb_folio(). However, when dealing with in-use
hugetlb, it allows fallback to other NUMA nodes in
alloc_hugetlb_folio_nodemask(), which can break the per-node hugetlb pool
and might result in unexpected failures when node bound workloads doesn't
get what is asssumed available.
This patchset tries to make the hugetlb migration strategy more clear
and consistent. Please find details in each patch.

Page isolation currently sets MIGRATE_ISOLATE on a block, then drops
zone->lock and scans the block for straddling buddies to split up.
Because this happens non-atomically wrt the page allocator, it's possible
for allocations to get a buddy whose first block is a regular pcp
migratetype but whose tail is isolated. This means that in certain cases
memory can still be allocated after isolation. It will also trigger the
freelist type hygiene warnings in subsequent patches.

Introduce a variant of move_freepages_block() provided by the allocator
specifically for page isolation; it moves free pages, converts the block,
and handles the splitting of straddling buddies while holding zone->lock.
The allocator knows that pageblocks and buddies are always naturally
aligned, which means that buddies can only straddle blocks if they're
actually >pageblock_order. This means the search-and-split part can be
simplified compared to what page isolation used to do.
Also tighten up the page isolation code around the expectations of which
pages can be large, and how they are freed.
Based on extensive discussions with and invaluable input from Zi Yan.

There are three freeing paths that read the page's migratetype
optimistically before grabbing the zone lock. When this races with block
stealing, those pages go on the wrong freelist.
The paths in question are:
- when freeing >costly orders that aren't THP
- when freeing pages to the buddy upon pcp lock contention
- when freeing pages that are isolated
- when freeing pages initially during boot
- when freeing the remainder in alloc_pages_exact()
- when "accepting" unaccepted VM host memory before first use
- when freeing pages during unpoisoning
None of these are so hot that they would need this optimization at the
cost of hampering defrag efforts. Especially when contrasted with the
fact that the most common buddy freeing path - free_pcppages_bulk - is
checking the migratetype under the zone->lock just fine.
In addition, isolated pages need to look up the migratetype under the lock
anyway, which adds branches to the locked section, and results in a double
lookup when the pages are in fact isolated.
Move the lookups into the lock.

Currently, page block type conversion during fallbacks, atomic
reservations and isolation can strand various amounts of free pages on
incorrect freelists.
For example, fallback stealing moves free pages in the block to the new
type's freelists, but then may not actually claim the block for that type
if there aren't enough compatible pages already allocated.
In all cases, free page moving might fail if the block straddles more than
one zone, in which case no free pages are moved at all, but the block type
is changed anyway.
This is detrimental to type hygiene on the freelists. It encourages
incompatible page mixing down the line (ask for one type, get another) and
thus contributes to long-term fragmentation.
Split the process into a proper transaction: check first if conversion
will happen, then try to move the free pages, and only if that was
successful convert the block to the new type.

When a block is partially outside the zone of the cursor page, the
function cuts the range to the pivot page instead of the zone start. This
can leave large parts of the block behind, which encourages incompatible
page mixing down the line (ask for one type, get another), and thus
long-term fragmentation.
This triggers reliably on the first block in the DMA zone, whose start_pfn
is 1. The block is stolen, but everything before the pivot page (which
was often hundreds of pages) is left on the old list.

Patch series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene", v4.
The page allocator's mobility grouping is intended to keep unmovable pages
separate from reclaimable/compactable ones to allow on-demand
defragmentation for higher-order allocations and huge pages.
Currently, there are several places where accidental type mixing occurs:
an allocation asks for a page of a certain migratetype and receives
another. This ruins pageblocks for compaction, which in turn makes
allocating huge pages more expensive and less reliable.
The series addresses those causes. The last patch adds type checks on all
freelist movements to prevent new violations being introduced.
The benefits can be seen in a mixed workload that stresses the machine
with a memcache-type workload and a kernel build job while periodically
attempting to allocate batches of THP. The following data is aggregated

Huge page success rate is higher, allocation latencies are shorter and
more predictable.
Stealing (fallback) rate is drastically reduced. Notably, while the
vanilla kernel keeps doing fallbacks on an ongoing basis, the patched
kernel enters a steady state once the distribution of block types is
adequate for the workload. Steals over 50 runs:

Type mismatches are down too. Those count every time an allocation
request asks for one migratetype and gets another. This can still occur
minimally in the patched kernel due to non-stealing fallbacks, but it's
quite rare and follows the pattern of overall fallbacks - once the block
type distribution settles, mismatches cease as well:

Compaction work is markedly reduced despite much better THP rates.
In the vanilla kernel, reclaim seems to have been driven primarily by
watermark boosting that happens as a result of fallbacks. With those all
but eliminated, watermarks average lower and kswapd does less work. The
uptick in direct reclaim is because THP requests have to fend for
themselves more often - which is intended policy right now. Aggregate
reclaim activity is lowered significantly, though.
This patch (of 10):
The idea behind the cache is to save get_pageblock_migratetype() lookups
during bulk freeing. A microbenchmark suggests this isn't helping,
though. The pcp migratetype can get stale, which means that bulk freeing
has an extra branch to check if the pageblock was isolated while on the
pcp.
While the variance overlaps, the cache write and the branch seem to make
this a net negative. The following test allocates and frees batches of
10,000 pages (~3x the pcp high marks to trigger flushing):

A side effect is that this also ensures that pages whose pageblock gets
stolen while on the pcplist end up on the right freelist and we don't
perform potentially type-incompatible buddy merges (or skip merges when we
shouldn't), which is likely beneficial to long-term fragmentation
management, although the effects would be harder to measure. Settle for
simpler and faster code as justification here.

Patch series "Various significant MM patches".
These patches all interact in annoying ways which make it tricky to send
them out in any way other than a big batch, even though there's not really
an overarching theme to connect them.
The big effects of this patch series are:
- folio_test_hugetlb() becomes reliable, even when called without a
page reference
- We free up PG_slab, and we could always use more page flags
- We no longer need to check PageSlab before calling page_mapcount()
This patch (of 9):
For compound pages which are at least order-2 (and hence have a
deferred_list), initialise it and then we can check at free that the page
is not part of a deferred list. We recently found this useful to rule out
a source of corruption.

When a non-compound multi-order page is freed, it is possible that a
speculative reference keeps the page pinned. In this case we free all
pages except for the first page, which will be freed later by the last
put_page(). However the page passed to put_page() is indistinguishable
from an order-0 page, so it cannot do the accounting, just as it cannot
free the subsequent pages. Do the accounting here, where we free the
pages.

When a high-order page is split into smaller ones, each newly split page
should get its codetag. After the split each split page will be
referencing the original codetag. The codetag's "bytes" counter remains
the same because the amount of allocated memory has not changed, however
the "calls" counter gets increased to keep the counter correct when these
individual pages get freed.

Patch series "mm/treewide: Remove pXd_huge() API", v2.
In previous work [1], we removed the pXd_large() API, which is arch
specific. This patchset further removes the hugetlb pXd_huge() API.
Hugetlb was never special on creating huge mappings when compared with
other huge mappings. Having a standalone API just to detect such pgtable
entries is more or less redundant, especially after the pXd_leaf() API set
is introduced with/without CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE.
When looking at this problem, a few issues are also exposed that we don't
have a clear definition of the *_huge() variance API. This patchset
started by cleaning these issues first, then replace all *_huge() users to
use *_leaf(), then drop all *_huge() code.
On x86/sparc, swap entries will be reported "true" in pXd_huge(), while
for all the rest archs they're reported "false" instead. This part is
done in patch 1-5, in which I suspect patch 1 can be seen as a bug fix,
but I'll leave that to hmm experts to decide.
Besides, there are three archs (arm, arm64, powerpc) that have slightly
different definitions between the *_huge() v.s. *_leaf() variances. I
tackled them separately so that it'll be easier for arch experts to chim
in when necessary. This part is done in patch 6-9.
The final patches 10-14 do the rest on the final removal, since *_leaf()
will be the ultimate API in the future, and we seem to have quite some
confusions on how *_huge() APIs can be defined, provide a rich comment for
*_leaf() API set to define them properly to avoid future misuse, and
hopefully that'll also help new archs to start support huge mappings and
avoid traps (like either swap entries, or PROT_NONE entry checks).

This patch (of 14):
When the complete PCP is drained a much larger number of pages than the
usual batch size might be freed at once, causing large IRQ and preemption
latency spikes, as they are all freed while holding the pcp and zone
spinlocks.
To avoid those latency spikes, limit the number of pages freed in a single
bulk operation to common batch limits.

from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series "mm:
zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is hotplugged
as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving policy
wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion rather
than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory environments
appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the process
has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown situations.
The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings" Ryan
Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's series
"Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page faults.
He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction test",
Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess in
our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing data
caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides dramatic
improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during certain
userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability improvements
in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It realizes a 12x
improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging of
large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages() to
an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which are
configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM Selftests".
- Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
the individual changelogs for details.

"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
Selftests".
- Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
the individual changelogs for details.

Core & protocols
----------------
- Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:
- Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps etc.)
lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.
- Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core
instead of once for each driver / callback.
- Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.
- Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.
- Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.
- Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length
and budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.
- Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global config
variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.
- Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug
of ECMP imbalance problems.
- Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.
- Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.
- Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.
- Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
control state machine.
- Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
disjoint MCTP networks.
- Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.
- Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.
- Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for
use on fastpaths).
- Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.
- Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.
- Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code
--------------------------------------------
- Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and introduce
VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by bpf_arena).
- Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of
ksft exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).
Netfilter
---------
- Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a daemon
(via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this table when
the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as orphaned and
a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain ownership.
- Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set type.
Compact a few related data structures.
BPF
---
- Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
& unprivileged application.
- Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between BPF
program and user space where structures inside the arena can have
pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work seamlessly
for both user-space programs and BPF programs.
- Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the verifier
and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop assuming it's
behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate it.
- Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
critical sections.
- Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops type.
- Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.
- Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF firewalls.
- Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF objects.
Wireless
--------
- Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.
- Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.
Driver API
----------
- Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to support
new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between drivers
(especially those using phylib), and encourage more uniform behavior.
Convert and clean up drivers.
- Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from drivers.
- IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.
- Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.
- Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.
Misc
----
- Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.
- Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions,
and packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.
- Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.
- Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message encapsulation
or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of nested attributes
depends on link type, classifier type or some other "class type".

Currently there seems to be three page frag implementations
which all try to allocate order 3 page, if that fails, it
then fail back to allocate order 0 page, and each of them
all allow order 3 page allocation to fail under certain
condition by using specific gfp bits.
The gfp bits for order 3 page allocation are different
between different implementation, __GFP_NOMEMALLOC is
or'd to forbid access to emergency reserves memory for
__page_frag_cache_refill(), but it is not or'd in other
implementions, __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is masked off to avoid
direct reclaim in vhost_net_page_frag_refill(), but it is
not masked off in __page_frag_cache_refill().
This patch unifies the gfp bits used between different
implementions by or'ing __GFP_NOMEMALLOC and masking off
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM for order 3 page allocation to avoid
possible pressure for mm.
Leave the gfp unifying for page frag implementation in sock.c
for now as suggested by Paolo Abeni.

napi_alloc_frag_align() and netdev_alloc_frag_align() accept
align as an argument, and they are thin wrappers around the
__napi_alloc_frag_align() and __netdev_alloc_frag_align() APIs
doing the alignment checking and align mask conversion, in order
to call page_frag_alloc_align() directly. The intention here is
to keep the alignment checking and the alignmask conversion in
in-line wrapper to avoid those kind of operations during execution
time since it can usually be handled during compile time.
We are going to use page_frag_alloc_align() in vhost_net.c, it
need the same kind of alignment checking and alignmask conversion,
so split up page_frag_alloc_align into an inline wrapper doing the
above operation, and add __page_frag_alloc_align() which is passed
with the align mask the original function expected as suggested by
Alexander.

alloc_contig_migrate_range has every information to be able to understand
big contiguous allocation latency. For example, how many pages are
migrated, how many times they were needed to unmap from page tables.
This patch adds the trace event to collect the allocation statistics. In
the field, it was quite useful to understand CMA allocation latency.

Iterate over a folio_batch rather than a linked list. This is easier for
the CPU to prefetch and has a batch count naturally built in so we don't
need to track it. Again, this lowers the maximum lock hold time from
32 folios to 15, but I do not expect this to have a significant effect.

Sven reports an infinite loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath() for costly order
__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL allocations that are also GFP_NOIO. Such combination
can happen in a suspend/resume context where a GFP_KERNEL allocation can
have __GFP_IO masked out via gfp_allowed_mask.
Quoting Sven:
1. try to do a "costly" allocation (order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER)
with __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL set.
2. page alloc's __alloc_pages_slowpath tries to get a page from the
freelist. This fails because there is nothing free of that costly
order.
3. page alloc tries to reclaim by calling __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim,
which bails out because a zone is ready to be compacted; it pretends
to have made a single page of progress.
4. page alloc tries to compact, but this always bails out early because
__GFP_IO is not set (it's not passed by the snd allocator, and even
if it were, we are suspending so the __GFP_IO flag would be cleared
anyway).
5. page alloc believes reclaim progress was made (because of the
pretense in item 3) and so it checks whether it should retry
compaction. The compaction retry logic thinks it should try again,
because:
a) reclaim is needed because of the early bail-out in item 4
b) a zonelist is suitable for compaction
6. goto 2. indefinite stall.
(end quote)
The immediate root cause is confusing the COMPACT_SKIPPED returned from
__alloc_pages_direct_compact() (step 4) due to lack of __GFP_IO to be
indicating a lack of order-0 pages, and in step 5 evaluating that in
should_compact_retry() as a reason to retry, before incrementing and
limiting the number of retries. There are however other places that
wrongly assume that compaction can happen while we lack __GFP_IO.
To fix this, introduce gfp_compaction_allowed() to abstract the __GFP_IO
evaluation and switch the open-coded test in try_to_compact_pages() to use
it.
Also use the new helper in:
- compaction_ready(), which will make reclaim not bail out in step 3, so
there's at least one attempt to actually reclaim, even if chances are
small for a costly order
- in_reclaim_compaction() which will make should_continue_reclaim()
return false and we don't over-reclaim unnecessarily
- in __alloc_pages_slowpath() to set a local variable can_compact,
which is then used to avoid retrying reclaim/compaction for costly
allocations (step 5) if we can't compact and also to skip the early
compaction attempt that we do in some cases

Before last commit, memory compaction only migrates order-0 folios and
skips >0 order folios. Last commit splits all >0 order folios during
compaction. This commit migrates >0 order folios during compaction by
keeping isolated free pages at their original size without splitting them
into order-0 pages and using them directly during migration process.
What is different from the prior implementation:
1. All isolated free pages are kept in a NR_PAGE_ORDERS array of page
lists, where each page list stores free pages in the same order.
2. All free pages are not post_alloc_hook() processed nor buddy pages,
although their orders are stored in first page's private like buddy
pages.
3. During migration, in new page allocation time (i.e., in
compaction_alloc()), free pages are then processed by post_alloc_hook().
When migration fails and a new page is returned (i.e., in
compaction_free()), free pages are restored by reversing the
post_alloc_hook() operations using newly added
free_pages_prepare_fpi_none().
Step 3 is done for a latter optimization that splitting and/or merging
free pages during compaction becomes easier.
Note: without splitting free pages, compaction can end prematurely due to
migration will return -ENOMEM even if there is free pages. This happens
when no order-0 free page exist and compaction_alloc() return NULL.

Patch series "Enable >0 order folio memory compaction", v7.
This patchset enables >0 order folio memory compaction, which is one of
the prerequisitions for large folio support[1].
I am aware of that split free pages is necessary for folio migration in
compaction, since if >0 order free pages are never split and no order-0
free page is scanned, compaction will end prematurely due to migration
returns -ENOMEM. Free page split becomes a must instead of an
optimization.
lkp ncompare results (on a 8-CPU (Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 @2.20GHz) 16G VM)
for default LRU (-no-mglru) and CONFIG_LRU_GEN are shown at the bottom,
copied from V3[4]. In sum, most of vm-scalability applications do not see
performance change, and the others see ~4% to ~26% performance boost under
default LRU and ~2% to ~6% performance boost under CONFIG_LRU_GEN.
Overview
===
To support >0 order folio compaction, the patchset changes how free pages
used for migration are kept during compaction. Free pages used to be
split into order-0 pages that are post allocation processed (i.e.,
PageBuddy flag cleared, page order stored in page->private is zeroed, and
page reference is set to 1). Now all free pages are kept in a
NR_PAGE_ORDER array of page lists based on their order without post
allocation process. When migrate_pages() asks for a new page, one of the
free pages, based on the requested page order, is then processed and given
out. And THP <2MB would need this feature.

For each CPU hotplug event, we will update per-CPU data slice size and
corresponding PCP configuration for every online CPU to make the
implementation simple. But, Kyle reported that this takes tens seconds
during boot on a machine with 34 zones and 3840 CPUs.
So, in this patch, for each CPU hotplug event, we only update per-CPU data
slice size and corresponding PCP configuration for the CPUs that share
caches with the hotplugged CPU. With the patch, the system boot time
reduces 67 seconds on the machine.

Core & protocols
----------------
- Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev,
netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up
build time warnings to safeguard against future header changes.
This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections
up to 40%.
- Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the
memory usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify
bad PP users and possible leaks.
- Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even
source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set.
This lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having
many active connections to the same destination.
- Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket
structs.
- Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to
allow arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF.
- Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value
to 128KB and namespecifying it.
- Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving
RX performances with some common configurations.
- Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time.
- Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to
request the deletion of matching entries.
- Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the
datapath first.
- Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting
multicast-like behavior at the TC layer.
- Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and
classifiers (RSVP and tcindex).
- More data-race annotations.
- Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets.
- Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions.
- Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form
a sub-network using a specific PAN ID.
- Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support.
- Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type.
BPF
---
- Tons of verifier improvements:
- BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large
test suite
- log improvements
- complete precision tracking support for register spills
- track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers. It
improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from single
digit to 50-60% for some programs
- support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few
commonly requested annotations for a better developer experience
- support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
transforms (unsigned) "a > 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the
like
- several fixes
- Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in
mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right
now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload.
- Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into
kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows
BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y.
- Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily
instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be
guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques.
- Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs.
- Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task
within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is identified
by its id.
- Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value field
obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in sched_ext.
- Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool
integration for the latter.
- Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints.
- Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project
is developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter).
Misc
----
- Support for parellel TC self-tests execution.
- Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage.
- Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far
undocumented features.
- Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to
avoid random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent
runs.
- Add TCP-AO self-tests.
- Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211.
- Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec.
- Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the
tool can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families
for which we have specs.
- A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes.
- Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool.
Driver API
----------
- Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the
full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers
in rust.
- Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface,
allowing complete access to the device <> NAPIs <> queues
relationship.
- Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control
application scale to thousands of instances.
- Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for
each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host.
- Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash.
- ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD
platform.
- Expose pin fractional frequency offset value over new DPLL generic
netlink attribute.
- Convert older drivers to platform remove callback returning void.
- Add support for PHY package MMD read/write.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"The most interesting thing is probably the networking structs
reorganization and a significant amount of changes is around
self-tests.
Core & protocols:
- Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev,
netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up build
time warnings to safeguard against future header changes
This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections up
to 40%
- Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the memory
usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify bad PP users and
possible leaks
- Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even
source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set. This
lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having many active
connections to the same destination
- Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket
structs
- Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to allow
arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF
- Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value to
128KB and namespecifying it
- Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving
RX performances with some common configurations
- Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time
- Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to
request the deletion of matching entries
- Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the
datapath first
- Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting
multicast-like behavior at the TC layer
- Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and
classifiers (RSVP and tcindex)
- More data-race annotations
- Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets
- Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions
- Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form
a sub-network using a specific PAN ID
- Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support
- Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type
BPF:
- Tons of verifier improvements:
- BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large
test suite
- log improvements
- complete precision tracking support for register spills
- track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
This improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from
single digit to 50-60% for some programs
- support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few
commonly requested annotations for a better developer
experience
- support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
transforms (unsigned) "a > 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the
like
- several fixes
- Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in
mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right
now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload
- Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into
kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows
BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y
- Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily
instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be
guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques
- Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs
- Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task
within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is
identified by its id
- Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value
field obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in
sched_ext
- Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool
integration for the latter
- Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints
- Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project is
developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter)
Misc:
- Support for parellel TC self-tests execution
- Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage
- Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far
undocumented features
- Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to avoid
random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent runs
- Add TCP-AO self-tests
- Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211
- Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec
- Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the tool
can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families for
which we have specs
- A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes
- Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool
Driver API:
- Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the
full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers
in rust
- Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface,
allowing complete access to the device <> NAPIs <> queues
relationship
- Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control
application scale to thousands of instances
- Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for
each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host
- Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash
- ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD
platform
- Expose pin fractional frequency offset value over new DPLL generic
netlink attribute
- Convert older drivers to platform remove callback returning void
- Add support for PHY package MMD read/write

commit 23baf831a32c ("mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely") has
changed the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive. This has caused
issues with code that was not yet upstream and depended on the previous
definition.
To draw attention to the altered meaning of the define, rename MAX_ORDER
to MAX_PAGE_ORDER.

NR_PAGE_ORDERS defines the number of page orders supported by the page
allocator, ranging from 0 to MAX_ORDER, MAX_ORDER + 1 in total.
NR_PAGE_ORDERS assists in defining arrays of page orders and allows for
more natural iteration over them.

Use the KASAN_TAG_KERNEL marco instead of open-coding 0xff in the mm code.
This macro is provided by include/linux/kasan-tags.h, which does not
include any other headers, so it's safe to include it into mm.h without
causing circular include dependencies.
