1b01663875 Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: fix wrong usage example of init_regions file
DAMON debugfs interface assumes the users will write all inputs at once. 
However, redirecting a string of multiple lines sometimes end up writing
line by line.  Therefore, the example usage of 'init_regions' file, which
writes input as a string of multiple lines can fail.  Fix it to use a
single line string instead.  Also update the description of the usage to
not assume users will write inputs in multiple lines.

bd4149290c Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: describe the rules of sysfs region directories
Patch series "Docs/admin-buide/mm/damon/usage: minor fixes".

DAMON usage document contains an unclear description and a wrong usage
example.  This patchset fixes the two minor problems.


This patch (of 2):

Target region directories of DAMON sysfs interface should contain no
overlap and sorted by the address, but not clearly documented.  Actually,
a user had an issue[1] due to the poor documentation.  Add clear
description of it on the usage document.

58ac9a8993 mm/khugepaged: attempt to map file/shmem-backed pte-mapped THPs by pmds
The main benefit of THPs are that they can be mapped at the pmd level,
increasing the likelihood of TLB hit and spending less cycles in page
table walks.  pte-mapped hugepages - that is - hugepage-aligned compound
pages of order HPAGE_PMD_ORDER mapped by ptes - although being contiguous
in physical memory, don't have this advantage.  In fact, one could argue
they are detrimental to system performance overall since they occupy a
precious hugepage-aligned/sized region of physical memory that could
otherwise be used more effectively.  Additionally, pte-mapped hugepages
can be the cheapest memory to collapse for khugepaged since no new
hugepage allocation or copying of memory contents is necessary - we only
need to update the mapping page tables.

In the anonymous collapse path, we are able to collapse pte-mapped
hugepages (albeit, perhaps suboptimally), but the file/shmem path makes no
effort when compound pages (of any order) are encountered.

Identify pte-mapped hugepages in the file/shmem collapse path.  The
final step of which makes a racy check of the value of the pmd to
ensure it maps a pte table.  This should be fine, since races that
result in false-positive (i.e.  attempt collapse even though we
shouldn't) will fail later in collapse_pte_mapped_thp() once we
actually lock mmap_lock and reinspect the pmd value.  Races that result
in false-negatives (i.e.  where we decide to not attempt collapse, but
should have) shouldn't be an issue, since in the worst case, we do
nothing - which is what we've done up to this point.  We make a similar
check in retract_page_tables().  If we do think we've found a
pte-mapped hugepgae in khugepaged context, attempt to update page
tables mapping this hugepage.

Note that these collapses still count towards the
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/pages_collapsed counter,
and if the pte-mapped hugepage was also mapped into multiple process'
address spaces, could be incremented for each page table update.  Since we
increment the counter when a pte-mapped hugepage is successfully added to
the list of to-collapse pte-mapped THPs, it's possible that we never
actually update the page table either.  This is different from how
file/shmem pages_collapsed accounting works today where only a successful
page cache update is counted (it's also possible here that no page tables
are actually changed).  Though it incurs some slop, this is preferred to
either not accounting for the event at all, or plumbing through data in
struct mm_slot on whether to account for the collapse or not.

Also note that work still needs to be done to support arbitrary compound
pages, and that this should all be converted to using folios.

f498150208 mm/huge_memory: prevent THP_ZERO_PAGE_ALLOC increased twice
A user who reads THP_ZERO_PAGE_ALLOC may be more concerned about the huge
zero pages that are really allocated for thp.  It is misleading to
increase THP_ZERO_PAGE_ALLOC twice if two threads call get_huge_zero_page
concurrently.  Don't increase the value if the huge page is not really
used.

Update Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst to suit.

Commit b18402726b ("Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: document DAMON

but it is not so aggressively announced.  As the deprecation time is
coming, this commit makes the announce more easy to be found by adding the
note at the beginning of the DAMON debugfs interface usage document.

04cc7e4bf7 Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/start: mention the dependency as sysfs instead of debugfs
'Getting Started' document of DAMON says DAMON user-space tool, damo[1],
is using DAMON debugfs interface, and therefore it needs to ensure debugfs
is mounted.  However, the latest version of the tool is using DAMON sysfs
interface.  Moreover, DAMON debugfs interface is going to be deprecated as
announced by commit b18402726b ("Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage:
document DAMON sysfs interface").

This commit therefore update the document to tell readers about DAMON
sysfs interface dependency instead and never mention about debugfs
interface, which will be deprecated.

0ff11f103f Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon: rename the title of the document
The title of the DAMON document for admin-guide, 'Monitoring Data
Accesses', could confuse readers in some ways.  First of all, DAMON is not
the only single way for data access monitoring.  And the document is for
not only the data access monitoring but also data access pattern based
memory management optimizations (DAMOS).  This commit updates the title to
'DAMON: Data Access MONitor', which more explicitly explains what the
document describes.

9a79443ddc mm/cma_debug: show complete cma name in debugfs directories
Currently only 12 characters of the cma name is being used as the debug
directories where as the cma name can be of length CMA_MAX_NAME(=64)
characters.  One side problem with this is having 2 cma's with first
common 12 characters would end up in trying to create directories with
same name and fails with -EEXIST thus can limit cma debug functionality.

The 'cma-' prefix is used initially where cma areas don't have any names
and are represented by simple integer values.  Since now each cma would be
having its own name, drop 'cma-' prefix for the cma debug directories as
they are clearly evident that they are for cma debug through creating them
in /sys/kernel/debug/cma/ path.

bbf535fd6f mm: shrinkers: add scan interface for shrinker debugfs
Add a scan interface which allows to trigger scanning of a particular
shrinker and specify memcg and numa node.  It's useful for testing,
debugging and profiling of a specific scan_objects() callback.  Unlike
alternatives (creating a real memory pressure and dropping caches via
/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches) this interface allows to interact with only one
shrinker at once.  Also, if a shrinker is misreporting the number of
objects (as some do), it doesn't affect scanning.

Commit 81a84182c3 ("Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/reclaim: document
'commit_inputs' parameter") has documented the 'commit_inputs' parameter
which allows online parameter update, but it didn't remove a paragraph

94bfe85bde mm/vmstat: add events for ksm cow
Users may use ksm by calling madvise(, , MADV_MERGEABLE) when they want to
save memory, it's a tradeoff by suffering delay on ksm cow.  Users can get
to know how much memory ksm saved by reading
/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_sharing, but they don't know what's the costs of
ksm cow, and this is important of some delay sensitive tasks.

So add ksm cow events to help users evaluate whether or how to use ksm. 
Also update Documentation/admin-guide/mm/ksm.rst with new added events.

cb325ddde5 mm/zswap.c: allow handling just same-value filled pages
Zswap has an ability to efficiently store same-value filled pages, which
can be turned on and off using the "same_filled_pages_enabled"
parameter.

However, there is currently no way to enable just this (lightweight)
functionality, while not making use of the whole compressed page storage
machinery.

Add a "non_same_filled_pages_enabled" parameter which allows disabling
handling of pages that aren't same-value filled.  This way zswap can be
run in such lightweight same-value filled pages only mode.

c6018b4b25 mm/mempolicy: add set_mempolicy_home_node syscall
This syscall can be used to set a home node for the MPOL_BIND and
MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY memory policy.  Users should use this syscall after
setting up a memory policy for the specified range as shown below.

  mbind(p, nr_pages * page_size, MPOL_BIND, new_nodes->maskp,
        new_nodes->size + 1, 0);
  sys_set_mempolicy_home_node((unsigned long)p, nr_pages * page_size,
				home_node, 0);

The syscall allows specifying a home node/preferred node from which
kernel will fulfill memory allocation requests first.

For address range with MPOL_BIND memory policy, if nodemask specifies
more than one node, page allocations will come from the node in the
nodemask with sufficient free memory that is closest to the home
node/preferred node.

For MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY if the nodemask specifies more than one node,
page allocation will come from the node in the nodemask with sufficient
free memory that is closest to the home node/preferred node.  If there
is not enough memory in all the nodes specified in the nodemask, the
allocation will be attempted from the closest numa node to the home node
in the system.

This helps applications to hint at a memory allocation preference node
and fallback to _only_ a set of nodes if the memory is not available on
the preferred node.  Fallback allocation is attempted from the node
which is nearest to the preferred node.

This helps applications to have control on memory allocation numa nodes
and avoids default fallback to slow memory NUMA nodes.  For example a
system with NUMA nodes 1,2 and 3 with DRAM memory and 10, 11 and 12 of
slow memory

 new_nodes = numa_bitmask_alloc(nr_nodes);

 numa_bitmask_setbit(new_nodes, 1);
 numa_bitmask_setbit(new_nodes, 2);
 numa_bitmask_setbit(new_nodes, 3);

 p = mmap(NULL, nr_pages * page_size, protflag, mapflag, -1, 0);
 mbind(p, nr_pages * page_size, MPOL_BIND, new_nodes->maskp,  new_nodes->size + 1, 0);

 sys_set_mempolicy_home_node(p, nr_pages * page_size, 2, 0);

This will allocate from nodes closer to node 2 and will make sure the
kernel will only allocate from nodes 1, 2, and 3.  Memory will not be
allocated from slow memory nodes 10, 11, and 12.  This differs from
default MPOL_BIND behavior in that with default MPOL_BIND the allocation
will be attempted from node closer to the local node.  One of the
reasons to specify a home node is to allow allocations from cpu less
NUMA node and its nearby NUMA nodes.

With MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY on the other hand will first try to allocate
from the closest node to node 2 from the node list 1, 2 and 3.  If those
nodes don't have enough memory, kernel will allocate from slow memory
node 10, 11 and 12 which ever is closer to node 2.

0d16cfd46b Docs/admin-guide/mm/pagemap: wordsmith page flags descriptions
Some descriptions of page flags in 'pagemap.rst' are written in
assumption of none-rst, which respects every new line, as below:

    7 - SLAB
       page is managed by the SLAB/SLOB/SLUB/SLQB kernel memory allocator
       When compound page is used, SLUB/SLQB will only set this flag on the head

Because rst ignores the new line between the first sentence and second
sentence, resulting html looks a little bit weird, as below.

    7 - SLAB
    page is managed by the SLAB/SLOB/SLUB/SLQB kernel memory allocator When
                                                                       ^
    compound page is used, SLUB/SLQB will only set this flag on the head
    page; SLOB will not flag it at all.

This change makes it more natural and consistent with other parts in the
rendered version.

b1eee3c548 Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/start: simplify the content
Information in 'TL; DR' section of 'Getting Started' is duplicated in
other parts of the doc.  It is also asking readers to visit the access
pattern visualizations gallery web site to show the results of example
visualization commands, while the users of the commands can use terminal
output.

To make the doc simple, this removes the duplicated 'TL; DR' section and
replaces the visualization example commands with versions using terminal
outputs.
