Instead of returning NULL for all errors, distinguish between:
- no entry found and not asked to allocated (-ENOENT)
- failed to allocate memory (-ENOMEM)
- would block (-EAGAIN)
so that callers don't have to guess the error based on the passed in
flags.
Also pass through the error through the direct callers: filemap_get_folio,
filemap_lock_folio filemap_grab_folio and filemap_get_incore_folio.

Use the very low level filemap_get_entry helper to look up the entry in
the xarray, and then:
- don't bother locking the folio if only doing a userfault notification
- open code locking the page and checking for truncation in a related
code block
This will allow to eventually remove the FGP_ENTRY flag.

Patch series "return an ERR_PTR from __filemap_get_folio", v3.
__filemap_get_folio and its wrappers can return NULL for three different
conditions, which in some cases requires the caller to reverse engineer
the decision making. This is fixed by returning an ERR_PTR instead of
NULL and thus transporting the reason for the failure. But to make
that work we first need to ensure that no xa_value special case is
returned and thus return the FGP_ENTRY flag. It turns out that flag
is barely used and can usually be deal with in a better way.
This patch (of 7):
split_huge_pages_in_file never wants to do anything with the special value
enties. Switch to using filemap_get_folio to not even see them.

The allocated dmapool pages are never freed for the lifetime of the pool.
There is no need for the two level list+stack lookup for finding a free
block since nothing is ever removed from the list. Just use a simple
stack, reducing time complexity to constant.
The implementation inserts the stack linking elements and the dma handle
of the block within itself when freed. This means the smallest possible
dmapool block is increased to at most 16 bytes to accommodate these
fields, but there are no exisiting users requesting a dma pool smaller
than that anyway.
Removing the list has a significant change in performance. Using the
kernel's micro-benchmarking self test:
Before:
# modprobe dmapool_test
dmapool test: size:16 blocks:8192 time:57282
dmapool test: size:64 blocks:8192 time:172562
dmapool test: size:256 blocks:8192 time:789247
dmapool test: size:1024 blocks:2048 time:371823
dmapool test: size:4096 blocks:1024 time:362237
After:
# modprobe dmapool_test
dmapool test: size:16 blocks:8192 time:24997
dmapool test: size:64 blocks:8192 time:26584
dmapool test: size:256 blocks:8192 time:33542
dmapool test: size:1024 blocks:2048 time:9022
dmapool test: size:4096 blocks:1024 time:6045
The module test allocates quite a few blocks that may not accurately
represent how these pools are used in real life. For a more marco level
benchmark, running fio high-depth + high-batched on nvme, this patch shows
submission and completion latency reduced by ~100usec each, 1% IOPs
improvement, and perf record's time spent in dma_pool_alloc/free were
reduced by half.

Currently, the synchronize_shrinkers() is only used by TTM pool. It only
requires that no shrinkers run in parallel, and doesn't care about
registering and unregistering of shrinkers.
Since slab shrink is protected by SRCU, synchronize_srcu() is sufficient
to ensure that no shrinker is running in parallel. So the shrinker_rwsem
in synchronize_shrinkers() is no longer needed, just remove it.

For now, reparent_shrinker_deferred() is the only holder of read lock of

Therefore, in order to convert shrinker_rwsem to shrinker_mutex later,
here we change to hold the write lock of shrinker_rwsem to reparent.

unregister_shrinker() will be a sleep waiting for all do_shrink_slab()
calls.
To avoid long unbreakable action in the unregister_shrinker(), add
shrinker_srcu_generation to restore a check similar to the
rwsem_is_contendent() check that we had before.
And for memcg slab shrink, we unlock SRCU and continue iterations from the

10.01064 +- 0.00831 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.08% )
We can see that IPC drops very seriously when calling
down_read_trylock() at high frequency. After using SRCU,
the IPC is at a normal level.

The shrinker_rwsem is a global read-write lock in shrinkers subsystem,
which protects most operations such as slab shrink, registration and
unregistration of shrinkers, etc. This can easily cause problems in the
following cases.
1) When the memory pressure is high and there are many
filesystems mounted or unmounted at the same time,
slab shrink will be affected (down_read_trylock()
failed).
Such as the real workload mentioned by Kirill Tkhai:
```
One of the real workloads from my experience is start
of an overcommitted node containing many starting
containers after node crash (or many resuming containers
after reboot for kernel update). In these cases memory
pressure is huge, and the node goes round in long reclaim.
```
2) If a shrinker is blocked (such as the case mentioned
in [1]) and a writer comes in (such as mount a fs),
then this writer will be blocked and cause all
subsequent shrinker-related operations to be blocked.
Even if there is no competitor when shrinking slab, there may still be a
problem. If we have a long shrinker list and we do not reclaim enough
memory with each shrinker, then the down_read_trylock() may be called with
high frequency. Because of the poor multicore scalability of atomic
operations, this can lead to a significant drop in IPC (instructions per
cycle).
So many times in history ([2],[3],[4],[5]), some people wanted to replace
shrinker_rwsem trylock with SRCU in the slab shrink, but all these patches
were abandoned because SRCU was not unconditionally enabled.
But now, since commit 1cd0bd06093c ("rcu: Remove CONFIG_SRCU"), the SRCU
is unconditionally enabled. So it's time to use SRCU to protect readers
who previously held shrinker_rwsem.
This commit uses SRCU to make global slab shrink lockless,
the memcg slab shrink is handled in the subsequent patch.

Patch series "make slab shrink lockless", v5.
This patch series aims to make slab shrink lockless.
1. Background
=============
On our servers, we often find the following system cpu hotspots:
52.22% [kernel] [k] down_read_trylock
19.60% [kernel] [k] up_read
8.86% [kernel] [k] shrink_slab
2.44% [kernel] [k] idr_find
1.25% [kernel] [k] count_shadow_nodes
1.18% [kernel] [k] shrink lruvec
0.71% [kernel] [k] mem_cgroup_iter
0.71% [kernel] [k] shrink_node
0.55% [kernel] [k] find_next_bit
And we used bpftrace to capture its calltrace as follows:
@[
down_read_trylock+1
shrink_slab+128
shrink_node+371
do_try_to_free_pages+232

We can see that down_read_trylock() of shrinker_rwsem is being called with
high frequency at that time. Because of the poor multicore scalability of
atomic operations, this can lead to a significant drop in IPC
(instructions per cycle).
And more, the shrinker_rwsem is a global read-write lock in shrinkers
subsystem, which protects most operations such as slab shrink,
registration and unregistration of shrinkers, etc. This can easily cause
problems in the following cases.
1) When the memory pressure is high and there are many filesystems
mounted or unmounted at the same time, slab shrink will be affected
(down_read_trylock() failed).
Such as the real workload mentioned by Kirill Tkhai:
```
One of the real workloads from my experience is start of an
overcommitted node containing many starting containers after node crash
(or many resuming containers after reboot for kernel update). In these
cases memory pressure is huge, and the node goes round in long reclaim.
```
2) If a shrinker is blocked (such as the case mentioned in [1]) and a
writer comes in (such as mount a fs), then this writer will be blocked
and cause all subsequent shrinker-related operations to be blocked.
[1]. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191129214541.3110-1-ptikhomirov@virtuozzo.com/
All the above cases can be solved by replacing the shrinker_rwsem trylocks
with SRCU.
2. Survey
=========
Before doing the code implementation, I found that there were many similar
submissions in the community:
a. Davidlohr Bueso submitted a patch in 2015.
Subject: [PATCH -next v2] mm: srcu-ify shrinkers
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/1437080113.3596.2.camel@stgolabs.net/
Result: It was finally merged into the linux-next branch,
but failed on arm allnoconfig (without CONFIG_SRCU)
b. Tetsuo Handa submitted a patchset in 2017.
Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm,vmscan: Kill global shrinker lock.
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1510609063-3327-1-git-send-email-penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp/
Result: Finally chose to use the current simple way (break
when rwsem_is_contended()). And Christoph Hellwig suggested to
using SRCU, but SRCU was not unconditionally enabled at the
time.
c. Kirill Tkhai submitted a patchset in 2018.
Subject: [PATCH RFC 00/10] Introduce lockless shrink_slab()
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/153365347929.19074.12509495712735843805.stgit@localhost.localdomain/
Result: At that time, SRCU was not unconditionally enabled,
and there were some objections to enabling SRCU. Later,
because Kirill's focus was moved to other things, this patchset
was not continued to be updated.
d. Sultan Alsawaf submitted a patch in 2021.
Subject: [PATCH] mm: vmscan: Replace shrinker_rwsem trylocks with SRCU protection
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210927074823.5825-1-sultan@kerneltoast.com/
Result: Rejected because SRCU was not unconditionally enabled.
We can find that almost all these historical commits were abandoned
because SRCU was not unconditionally enabled. But now SRCU has been
unconditionally enable by Paul E. McKenney in 2023 [2], so it's time to
replace shrinker_rwsem trylocks with SRCU.

3. Reproduction and testing
===========================
We can reproduce the down_read_trylock() hotspot through the following script:
```
#!/bin/bash
DIR="/root/shrinker/memcg/mnt"
do_create()
{
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/test
echo 4G > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
for i in `seq 0 $1`;
do
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i;
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i/cgroup.procs;
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/test/cgroup.procs;
mkdir -p $DIR/$i;
done
}
do_mount()
{
for i in `seq $1 $2`;
do
mount -t tmpfs $i $DIR/$i;
done
}
do_touch()
{
for i in `seq $1 $2`;
do
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i/cgroup.procs;
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/test/cgroup.procs;
dd if=/dev/zero of=$DIR/$i/file$i bs=1M count=1 &
done
}
case "$1" in
touch)
do_touch $2 $3
;;
test)
do_create 4000
do_mount 0 4000
do_touch 0 3000
;;
*)
exit 1
;;
esac
```
Save the above script, then run test and touch commands. Then we can use
the following perf command to view hotspots:
perf top -U -F 999
1) Before applying this patchset:
32.31% [kernel] [k] down_read_trylock
19.40% [kernel] [k] pv_native_safe_halt
16.24% [kernel] [k] up_read
15.70% [kernel] [k] shrink_slab
4.69% [kernel] [k] _find_next_bit
2.62% [kernel] [k] shrink_node
1.78% [kernel] [k] shrink_lruvec
0.76% [kernel] [k] do_shrink_slab
2) After applying this patchset:
27.83% [kernel] [k] _find_next_bit
16.97% [kernel] [k] shrink_slab
15.82% [kernel] [k] pv_native_safe_halt
9.58% [kernel] [k] shrink_node
8.31% [kernel] [k] shrink_lruvec
5.64% [kernel] [k] do_shrink_slab
3.88% [kernel] [k] mem_cgroup_iter
At the same time, we use the following perf command to capture IPC
information:
perf stat -e cycles,instructions -G test -a --repeat 5 -- sleep 10
1) Before applying this patchset:
Performance counter stats for 'system wide' (5 runs):
454187219766 cycles test ( +- 1.84% )
78896433101 instructions test # 0.17 insn per cycle ( +- 0.44% )
10.0020430 +- 0.0000366 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.00% )
2) After applying this patchset:
Performance counter stats for 'system wide' (5 runs):
841954709443 cycles test ( +- 15.80% ) (98.69%)
527258677936 instructions test # 0.63 insn per cycle ( +- 15.11% ) (98.68%)
10.01064 +- 0.00831 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.08% )
We can see that IPC drops very seriously when calling down_read_trylock()
at high frequency. After using SRCU, the IPC is at a normal level.
This patch (of 8):
To prepare for the subsequent lockless memcg slab shrink, add a map_nr_max
field to struct shrinker_info to records its own real shrinker_nr_max.

Code inspection reveals that PG_skip_kasan_poison is redundant with
kasantag, because the former is intended to be set iff the latter is the
match-all tag. It can also be observed that it's basically pointless to
poison pages which have kasantag=0, because any pages with this tag would
have been pointed to by pointers with match-all tags, so poisoning the
pages would have little to no effect in terms of bug detection.
Therefore, change the condition in should_skip_kasan_poison() to check
kasantag instead, and remove PG_skip_kasan_poison and associated flags.

io_mapping_map_atomic_wc() disables preemption and pagefaults for
historical reasons. The conversion to io_mapping_map_local_wc(), which
only disables migration, cannot be done wholesale because quite some call
sites need to be updated to accommodate with the changed semantics.
On PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels the io_mapping_map_atomic_wc() semantics are
problematic due to the implicit disabling of preemption which makes it
impossible to acquire 'sleeping' spinlocks within the mapped atomic
sections.
PREEMPT_RT replaces the preempt_disable() with a migrate_disable() for
more than a decade. It could be argued that this is a justification to do
this unconditionally, but PREEMPT_RT covers only a limited number of
architectures and it disables some functionality which limits the coverage
further.
Limit the replacement to PREEMPT_RT for now. This is also done
kmap_atomic().

In doing experimentations with shmem having the option to avoid swap
becomes a useful mechanism. One of the *raves* about brd over shmem is
you can avoid swap, but that's not really a good reason to use brd if we
can instead use shmem. Using brd has its own good reasons to exist, but
just because "tmpfs" doesn't let you do that is not a great reason to
avoid it if we can easily add support for it.
I don't add support for reconfiguring incompatible options, but if we
really wanted to we can add support for that.
To avoid swap we use mapping_set_unevictable() upon inode creation, and
put a WARN_ON_ONCE() stop-gap on writepages() for reclaim.

In theory when info->flags & VM_LOCKED we should not be getting
shem_writepage() called so we should be verifying this with a
WARN_ON_ONCE(). Since we should not be swapping then best to ensure we
also don't do the folio split earlier too. So just move the check early
to avoid folio splits in case its a dubious call.
We also have a similar early bail when !total_swap_pages so just move that
earlier to avoid the possible folio split in the same situation.

i915_gem requires huge folios to be split when swapping. However we have
check for usage of writepages() to ensure it used only for swap purposes
later. Avoid the splits if we're not being called for reclaim, even if
they should in theory not happen.
This makes the conditions easier to follow on shem_writepage().

shmem_writepage() sets up variables typically used *after* a possible huge
page split. However even if that does happen the address space mapping
should not change, and the inode does not change either. So it should be
safe to set that from the very beginning.
This commit makes no functional changes.

Patch series "tmpfs: add the option to disable swap", v2.
I'm doing this work as part of future experimentation with tmpfs and the
page cache, but given a common complaint found about tmpfs is the
innability to work without the page cache I figured this might be useful
to others. It turns out it is -- at least Christian Brauner indicates
systemd uses ramfs for a few use-cases because they don't want to use swap
and so having this option would let them move over to using tmpfs for
those small use cases, see systemd-creds(1).
To see if you hit swap:
mkswap /dev/nvme2n1
swapon /dev/nvme2n1
free -h
With swap - what we see today
=============================
mount -t tmpfs -o size=5G tmpfs /data-tmpfs/

This patch (of 6):
Matthew notes we should not need to check the folio lock on the
writepage() callback so remove it. This sanity check has been lingering
since linux-history days. We remove this as we tidy up the writepage()
callback to make things a bit clearer.

Fix missing EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() statement for mas_preallocate().
It isn't actually used by anything yet, but mas_preallocate() is part of
the maple tree's 'Advanced API'. All other functions of this API are
exported already.

The last remaining user of folio_write_one through the write_one_page
wrapper is jfs, so move the functionality there and hard code the call to
metapage_writepage.
Note that the use of the pagecache by the JFS 'metapage' buffer cache is a
bit odd, and we could probably do without VM-level dirty tracking at all,
but that's a change for another time.

Patch series "remove most callers of write_one_page", v4.
This series removes most users of the write_one_page API. These helpers
internally call ->writepage which we are gradually removing from the
kernel.
This patch (of 3):
We do not need to writeout modified directory blocks immediately when
modifying them while the page is locked. It is enough to do the flush
somewhat later which has the added benefit that inode times can be flushed
as well. It also allows us to stop depending on write_one_page()
function.
Ported from an ext2 patch by Jan Kara.

KMSAN does not instrument stackdepot and may treat memory allocated by it
as uninitialized. This is not a problem for KMSAN itself, because its
functions calling stackdepot API are also not instrumented. But other
kernel features (e.g. netdev tracker) may access stack depot from
instrumented code, which will lead to false positives, unless we
explicitly mark stackdepot outputs as initialized.

The knob for cgroup v1 memory controller: memory.soft_limit_in_bytes is
not protected by any locking so it can be modified while it is used. This
is not an actual problem because races are unlikely. But it is better to
use [READ|WRITE]_ONCE to prevent compiler from doing anything funky.
The access of memcg->soft_limit is lockless, so it can be concurrently set
at the same time as we are trying to read it. All occurrences of
memcg->soft_limit are updated with [READ|WRITE]_ONCE.

Patch series "mm, memcg: cgroup v1 and v2 tunable load/store tearing
fixes", v2.
This patch series helps to prevent load/store tearing in
several cgroup knobs.
As kindly pointed out by Michal Hocko and Roman Gushchin
, the changelog has been rephrased.
Besides, more knobs were checked, according to kind suggestions
from Shakeel Butt and Muchun Song.
This patch (of 4):
The knob for cgroup v2 memory controller: memory.oom.group
is not protected by any locking so it can be modified while it is used.
This is not an actual problem because races are unlikely (the knob is
usually configured long before any workloads hits actual memcg oom)
but it is better to use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE to prevent compiler from
doing anything funky.
The access of memcg->oom_group is lockless, so it can be
concurrently set at the same time as we are trying to read it.
