The SLAB_KASAN flag prevents merging of caches in some configurations,
which is handled in a rather complicated way via kasan_never_merge().
Since we now have a generic SLAB_NO_MERGE flag, we can instead use it
for KASAN caches in addition to SLAB_KASAN in those configurations,
and simplify the SLAB_NEVER_MERGE handling.

The values of SLAB_ cache creation flags are defined by hand, which is
tedious and error-prone. Use an enum to assign the bit number and a
__SLAB_FLAG_BIT() macro to #define the final flags.
This renumbers the flag values, which is OK as they are only used
internally.
Also define a __SLAB_FLAG_UNUSED macro to assign value to flags disabled
by their respective config options in a unified and sparse-friendly way.

Change the flag's value to 0 to free up the value it had, and mark it

Pull cxl fixes from Dan Williams:
"A collection of significant fixes for the CXL subsystem.
The largest change in this set, that bordered on "new development", is
the fix for the fact that the location of the new qos_class attribute
did not match the Documentation. The fix ends up deleting more code
than it added, and it has a new unit test to backstop basic errors in
this interface going forward. So the "red-diff" and unit test saved
the "rip it out and try again" response.
In contrast, the new notification path for firmware reported CXL
errors (CXL CPER notifications) has a locking context bug that can not
be fixed with a red-diff. Given where the release cycle stands, it is
not comfortable to squeeze in that fix in these waning days. So, that
receives the "back it out and try again later" treatment.
There is a regression fix in the code that establishes memory NUMA
nodes for platform CXL regions. That has an ack from x86 folks. There
are a couple more fixups for Linux to understand (reassemble) CXL
regions instantiated by platform firmware. The policy around platforms
that do not match host-physical-address with system-physical-address
(i.e. systems that have an address translation mechanism between the
address range reported in the ACPI CEDT.CFMWS and endpoint decoders)
has been softened to abort driver load rather than teardown the memory
range (can cause system hangs). Lastly, there is a robustness /
regression fix for cases where the driver would previously continue in
the face of error, and a fixup for PCI error notification handling.
Summary:
- Fix NUMA initialization from ACPI CEDT.CFMWS
- Fix region assembly failures due to async init order
- Fix / simplify export of qos_class information

Refactor the code left in write_cache_pages into an iterator that the file
system can call to get the next folio for a writeback operation:
struct folio *folio = NULL;
while ((folio = writeback_iter(mapping, wbc, folio, &error))) {
error = <do per-folio writeback>;
}
The twist here is that the error value is passed by reference, so that the
iterator can restore it when breaking out of the loop.
Handling of the magic AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE value stays outside the
iterator and needs is just kept in the write_cache_pages legacy wrapper.
in preparation for eventually killing it off.

Collapse the two nested loops into one. This is needed as a step towards
turning this into an iterator.
Note that this drops the "index <= end" check in the previous outer loop
and just relies on filemap_get_folios_tag() to return 0 entries when index
> end. This actually has a subtle implication when end == -1 because then
the returned index will be -1 as well and thus if there is page present on
index -1, we could be looping indefinitely. But as the comment in
filemap_get_folios_tag documents this as already broken anyway we should
not worry about it here either. The fix for that would probably a change
to the filemap_get_folios_tag() calling convention.

Rework the way we deal with the cleanup after the writepage call.
First handle the magic AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE separately from real error
returns to get it out of the way of the actual error handling path.
The split the handling on intgrity vs non-integrity branches first, and
return early using a goto for the non-ingegrity early loop condition to
remove the need for the done and done_index local variables, and for
assigning the error to ret when we can just return error directly.

When write_cache_pages finishes writing out a folio, it fails to update
done_index to account for the number of pages in the folio just written.
That means when range_cyclic writeback is restarted, it will be restarted
at this folio instead of after it as it should. Fix that by updating
done_index before breaking out of the loop.

Patch series "convert write_cache_pages() to an iterator", v8.
This is an evolution of the series Matthew Wilcox originally sent in June
2023, which has changed quite a bit since and now has a while based
iterator.
This patch (of 14):
mapping_set_error should only be called on 0 returns (which it ignores) or
a negative error code.
writepage_cb ends up being able to call writepage_cb on the magic
AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE return value from ->writepage which means success
but the caller needs to unlock the page. Ignore that and just call
mapping_set_error on negative errors.
(no fixes tag as this goes back more than 20 years over various renames
and refactors so I've given up chasing down the original introduction)

The purpose is stopping splitting large folios whose mapcount are 2 or
above. Folios whose estimated_shares = 0 should be still perfect and even
better candidates than estimated_shares = 1.
Consider a pte-mapped large folio with 16 subpages, if we unmap 1-15, the
current code will split folios and reclaim them while madvise goes on this
folio; but if we unmap subpage 0, we will keep this folio and break. This
is weird.
For pmd-mapped large folios, we can still use "= 1" as the condition as
anyway we have the entire map for it. So this patch doesn't change the
condition for pmd-mapped large folios. This also explains why we had been
using "= 1" for both pmd-mapped and pte-mapped large folios before commit
07e8c82b5eff ("madvise: convert madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() to use
folios"), because in the past, we used the mapcount of the specific
subpage, since the subpage had pte present, its mapcount wouldn't be 0.
The problem can be quite easily reproduced by writing a small program,
unmapping the first subpage of a pte-mapped large folio vs. unmapping
anyone other than the first subpage.

During migration in a memory compaction, free pages are placed in an array
of page lists based on their order. But the desired free page order
(i.e., the order of a source page) might not be always present, thus
leading to migration failures and premature compaction termination. Split
a high order free pages when source migration page has a lower order to
increase migration successful rate.
Note: merging free pages when a migration fails and a lower order free
page is returned via compaction_free() is possible, but there is too much
work. Since the free pages are not buddy pages, it is hard to identify
these free pages using existing PFN-based page merging algorithm.

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.

pages from the split. It can be a baseline and start point for adding
support for compacting >0 order folios.

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.

We used to rely on the returned -ENOSPC of zpool_malloc() to increase
reject_compress_poor. But the code wouldn't get to there after commit
744e1885922a ("crypto: scomp - fix req->dst buffer overflow") as the new
code will goto out immediately after the special compression case happens.
So there might be no longer a chance to execute zpool_malloc now. We are
incorrectly increasing zswap_reject_compress_fail instead. Thus, we need
to fix the counters handling right after compressions return ENOSPC. This
patch also centralizes the counters handling for all of compress_poor,
compress_fail and alloc_fail.

The migrate write lock is to protect the race between zspage migration and
zspage objects' map users.
We only need to lock out the map users of src zspage, not dst zspage,
which is safe to map by users concurrently, since we only need to do
obj_malloc() from dst zspage.
So we can remove the migrate_write_lock_nested() use case.
As we are here, cleanup the __zs_compact() by moving putback_zspage()
outside of migrate_write_unlock since we hold pool lock, no malloc or free
users can come in.

DAMOS quota auto-tuning asks users to assess the current tuned quota and
provide the feedback in a manual and repeated way. It allows users
generate the feedback from a source that the kernel cannot access, and
writing a script or a function for doing the manual and repeated feeding
is not a big deal. However, additional works are additional works, and it
could be more efficient if DAMOS could do the fetch itself, especially in
case of DAMON sysfs interface use case, since it can avoid the context
switches between the user-space and the kernel-space, though the overhead
would be only trivial in most cases. Also in many cases, feedbacks could
be made from kernel-accessible sources, such as PSI, CPU usage, etc. Make

Patch series "mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself".
The Aim-oriented Feedback-driven DAMOS Aggressiveness Auto-tuning
patchset[1] which has merged since commit 9294a037c015 ("mm/damon/core:
implement goal-oriented feedback-driven quota auto-tuning") made the
mechanism and the policy separated. That is, users can set a part of
DAMOS control policies without a deep understanding of the mechanism but
just their demands such as SLA.
However, users are still required to do some additional work of manually
collecting their target metric and feeding it to DAMOS. In the case of
end-users who use DAMON sysfs interface, the context switches between
user-space and kernel-space could also make it inefficient. The overhead
is supposed to be only trivial in common cases, though. Meanwhile, in
simple use cases, the target metric could be common system metrics that
the kernel can efficiently self-retrieve, such as memory pressure stall
time (PSI).
Extend DAMOS quota auto-tuning to support multiple types of metrics
including the DAMOS self-retrievable ones, and add support for memory
pressure stall time metric. Different types of metrics can be supported
in future. The auto-tuning capability is currently supported for only
users of DAMOS kernel API and DAMON sysfs interface. Extend the support
to DAMON_RECLAIM.
Patches Sequence
================
First five patches are for helping debugging and fine-tuning existing
quota control features. The first one (patch 1) exposes the effective
quota that is made with given user inputs to DAMOS kernel API users and
kernel-doc documents. Following four patches implement (patches 1, 2 and
3) and document (patches 4 and 5) a new DAMON sysfs file that exposes the
value.
Following six patches cleanup and simplify the existing DAMOS quota
auto-tuning code by improving layout of comments and data structures
(patches 6 and 7), supporting common use cases, namely multiple goals
(patches 8, 9 and 10), and simplifying the interface (patch 11).
Then six patches for the main purpose of this patchset follow. The first
three changes extend the core logic for various target metrics (patch 12),
implement memory pressure stall time-based target metric support (patch
13), and update DAMON sysfs interface to support the new target metric
(patch 14). Then, documentation updates for the features on design (patch
15), ABI (patch 16), and usage (patch 17) follow.
Last three patches add auto-tuning support on DAMON_RECLAIM. The patches
implement DAMON_RECLAIM parameters for user-feedback driven quota
auto-tuning (patch 18), memory pressure stall time-driven quota
self-tuning (patch 19), and finally update the DAMON_RECLAIM usage
document for the new parameters (patch 20).

This patch (of 20):
DAMOS allow users to specify the quota as they want in multiple ways
including time quota, size quota, and feedback-based auto-tuning. DAMOS
makes one effective quota out of the inputs and use it at the end.
Knowing the current effective quota helps understanding DAMOS' internal
mechanism and fine-tuning quotas. DAMON kernel API users can get the
information from ->esz field of damos_quota struct, but the field is
marked as private purpose, and not kernel-doc documented. Make it public
and document.

khugepaged scans the entire address space in the background for each
given mm, looking for opportunities to merge sequences of basic pages
into huge pages. However, when an mm is inserted to the mm_slots list,
and the MMF_DISABLE_THP flag is set later, this scanning process
becomes unnecessary for that mm and can be skipped to avoid redundant
operations, especially in scenarios with a large address space.
On an Intel Core i5 CPU, the time taken by khugepaged to scan the
address space of the process, which has been set with the
MMF_DISABLE_THP flag after being added to the mm_slots list, is as
follows (shorter is better):
VMA Count | Old | New | Change
---------------------------------------
50 | 23us | 9us | -60.9%
100 | 32us | 9us | -71.9%
200 | 44us | 9us | -79.5%
400 | 75us | 9us | -88.0%
800 | 98us | 9us | -90.8%
Once the count of VMAs for the process exceeds page_to_scan, khugepaged
needs to wait for scan_sleep_millisecs ms before scanning the next
process. IMO, unnecessary scans could actually be skipped with a very
inexpensive mm->flags check in this case.
This commit introduces a check before each scanning process to test the
MMF_DISABLE_THP flag for the given mm; if the flag is set, the scanning
process is bypassed, thereby improving the efficiency of khugepaged.
This optimization is not a correctness issue but rather an enhancement
to save expensive checks on each VMA when userspace cannot prctl itself
before spawning into the new process.
On some servers within our company, we deploy a daemon responsible for
monitoring and updating local applications. Some applications prefer
not to use THP, so the daemon calls prctl to disable THP before
fork/exec. Conversely, for other applications, the daemon calls prctl
to enable THP before fork/exec.
Ideally, the daemon should invoke prctl after the fork, but its current
implementation follows the described approach. In the Go standard
library, there is no direct encapsulation of the fork system call;
instead, fork and execve are combined into one through
syscall.ForkExec.
