Commit c33c794828 ("mm: ptep_get() conversion") converted all (non-arch)
call sites to use ptep_get() instead of doing a direct dereference of the
pte. Full rationale can be found in that commit's log.
Since then, three new call sites have snuck in, which directly dereference
the pte, so let's fix those up.
Unfortunately there is no reliable automated mechanism to catch these; I'm
relying on a combination of Coccinelle (which throws up a lot of false
positives) and some compiler magic to force a compiler error on
dereference (While this approach finds dereferences, it also yields a
non-booting kernel so can't be committed).

Patch series "permit write-sealed memfd read-only shared mappings", v4.
The man page for fcntl() describing memfd file seals states the following
about F_SEAL_WRITE:-
Furthermore, trying to create new shared, writable memory-mappings via
mmap(2) will also fail with EPERM.
With emphasis on 'writable'. In turns out in fact that currently the
kernel simply disallows all new shared memory mappings for a memfd with
F_SEAL_WRITE applied, rendering this documentation inaccurate.
This matters because users are therefore unable to obtain a shared mapping
to a memfd after write sealing altogether, which limits their usefulness.
This was reported in the discussion thread [1] originating from a bug
report [2].
This is a product of both using the struct address_space->i_mmap_writable
atomic counter to determine whether writing may be permitted, and the
kernel adjusting this counter when any VM_SHARED mapping is performed and
more generally implicitly assuming VM_SHARED implies writable.
It seems sensible that we should only update this mapping if VM_MAYWRITE
is specified, i.e. whether it is possible that this mapping could at any
point be written to.
If we do so then all we need to do to permit write seals to function as
documented is to clear VM_MAYWRITE when mapping read-only. It turns out
this functionality already exists for F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE - we can
therefore simply adapt this logic to do the same for F_SEAL_WRITE.
We then hit a chicken and egg situation in mmap_region() where the check
for VM_MAYWRITE occurs before we are able to clear this flag. To work
around this, perform this check after we invoke call_mmap(), with careful
consideration of error paths.
Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the suggestion!

This patch (of 3):
There is a general assumption that VMAs with the VM_SHARED flag set are
writable. If the VM_MAYWRITE flag is not set, then this is simply not the
case.
Update those checks which affect the struct address_space->i_mmap_writable
field to explicitly test for this by introducing
[vma_]is_shared_maywrite() helper functions.
This remains entirely conservative, as the lack of VM_MAYWRITE guarantees
that the VMA cannot be written to.

Patch series "Handle more faults under the VMA lock", v2.
At this point, we're handling the majority of file-backed page faults
under the VMA lock, using the ->map_pages entry point. This patch set
attempts to expand that for the following siutations:
- We have to do a read. This could be because we've hit the point in
the readahead window where we need to kick off the next readahead,
or because the page is simply not present in cache.
- We're handling a write fault. Most applications don't do I/O by writes
to shared mmaps for very good reasons, but some do, and it'd be nice
to not make that slow unnecessarily.
- We're doing a COW of a private mapping (both PTE already present
and PTE not-present). These are two different codepaths and I handle
both of them in this patch set.
There is no support in this patch set for drivers to mark themselves as
being VMA lock friendly; they could implement the ->map_pages
vm_operation, but if they do, they would be the first. This is probably
something we want to change at some point in the future, and I've marked
where to make that change in the code.
There is very little performance change in the benchmarks we've run;
mostly because the vast majority of page faults are handled through the
other paths. I still think this patch series is useful for workloads that
may take these paths more often, and just for cleaning up the fault path
in general (it's now clearer why we have to retry in these cases).
This patch (of 6):
Drop the VMA lock instead of the mmap_lock if that's the one which
is held.

The existing comments in filemap_fault() suggest that, after either a
minor fault has occurred and filemap_get_folio() found a folio in the page
cache, or a major fault arose and __filemap_get_folio(FGP_CREATE...) did
the job (having relied on do_sync_mmap_readahead() or filemap_read_folio()
to read in the folio), the only possible reason it could not be uptodate
is because of an error.
This is not so, as if, for instance, the fault occurred within a VMA which
had the VM_RAND_READ flag set (via madvise() with the MADV_RANDOM flag
specified), this would cause even synchronous readahead to fail to read in
the folio.
I confirmed this by dropping page caches and faulting in memory
madvise()'d this way, observing that this code path was reached on each
occasion.
Clarify the comments to include this case, and additionally update the
comment recently added around the invalidate lock logic to make it clear
the comment explicitly refers to the minor fault case.
In addition, while we're here, refer to folios rather than pages.

Remove special cased hugetlb handling code within the page cache by
changing the granularity of ->index to the base page size rather than the
huge page size. The motivation of this patch is to reduce complexity
within the filemap code while also increasing performance by removing
branches that are evaluated on every page cache lookup.
To support the change in index, new wrappers for hugetlb page cache
interactions are added. These wrappers perform the conversion to a linear
index which is now expected by the page cache for huge pages.
========================= PERFORMANCE ======================================
Perf was used to check the performance differences after the patch.
Overall the performance is similar to mainline with a very small larger
overhead that occurs in __filemap_add_folio() and
hugetlb_add_to_page_cache(). This is because of the larger overhead that
occurs in xa_load() and xa_store() as the xarray is now using more entries
to store hugetlb folios in the page cache.

We found a softlock issue in our test, analyzed the logs, and found that
the relevant CPU call trace as follows:
CPU0:
_do_fork
-> copy_process()
-> write_lock_irq(&tasklist_lock) //Disable irq,waiting for
//tasklist_lock
CPU1:
wp_page_copy()
->pte_offset_map_lock()
-> spin_lock(&page->ptl); //Hold page->ptl
-> ptep_clear_flush()
-> flush_tlb_others() ...
-> smp_call_function_many()
-> arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask()
-> csd_lock_wait() //Waiting for other CPUs respond
//IPI
CPU2:
collect_procs_anon()
-> read_lock(&tasklist_lock) //Hold tasklist_lock
->for_each_process(tsk)
-> page_mapped_in_vma()
-> page_vma_mapped_walk()
-> map_pte()
->spin_lock(&page->ptl) //Waiting for page->ptl
We can see that CPU1 waiting for CPU0 respond IPI，CPU0 waiting for CPU2
unlock tasklist_lock, CPU2 waiting for CPU1 unlock page->ptl. As a result,
softlockup is triggered.
For collect_procs_anon(), what we're doing is task list iteration, during
the iteration, with the help of call_rcu(), the task_struct object is freed
only after one or more grace periods elapse. the logic as follows:
release_task()
-> __exit_signal()
-> __unhash_process()
-> list_del_rcu()
-> put_task_struct_rcu_user()
-> call_rcu(&task->rcu, delayed_put_task_struct)
delayed_put_task_struct()
-> put_task_struct()
-> if (refcount_sub_and_test())
__put_task_struct()
-> free_task()
Therefore, under the protection of the rcu lock, we can safely use
get_task_struct() to ensure a safe reference to task_struct during the
iteration.
By removing the use of tasklist_lock in task list iteration, we can break
the softlock chain above.
The same logic can also be applied to:
- collect_procs_file()
- collect_procs_fsdax()
- collect_procs_ksm()

Patch series "mm, netfs, fscache: Stop read optimisation when folio
removed from pagecache", v7.
This fixes an optimisation in fscache whereby we don't read from the cache
for a particular file until we know that there's data there that we don't
have in the pagecache. The problem is that I'm no longer using PG_fscache
(aka PG_private_2) to indicate that the page is cached and so I don't get
a notification when a cached page is dropped from the pagecache.
The first patch merges some folio_has_private() and
filemap_release_folio() pairs and introduces a helper,
folio_needs_release(), to indicate if a release is required.
The second patch is the actual fix. Following Willy's suggestions[1], it
adds an AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS flag to an address_space that will make
filemap_release_folio() always call ->release_folio(), even if
PG_private/PG_private_2 aren't set. folio_needs_release() is altered to
add a check for this.
This patch (of 2):
Make filemap_release_folio() check folio_has_private(). Then, in most
cases, where a call to folio_has_private() is immediately followed by a
call to filemap_release_folio(), we can get rid of the test in the pair.
There are a couple of sites in mm/vscan.c that this can't so easily be
done. In shrink_folio_list(), there are actually three cases (something
different is done for incompletely invalidated buffers), but
filemap_release_folio() elides two of them.
In shrink_active_list(), we don't have have the folio lock yet, so the
check allows us to avoid locking the page unnecessarily.
A wrapper function to check if a folio needs release is provided for those
places that still need to do it in the mm/ directory. This will acquire
additional parts to the condition in a future patch.
After this, the only remaining caller of folio_has_private() outside of
mm/ is a check in fuse.

ra->prev_pos tracks the last visited byte in the previous read request.
It is used to check whether it is sequential read in ondemand_readahead
and thus affects the readahead window.
After commit 06c0444290 ("mm/filemap.c: generic_file_buffered_read() now
uses find_get_pages_contig"), update logic of prev_pos is changed. It
updates prev_pos after each return from filemap_get_pages(). But the read
request from user may be not fully completed at this point. The updated
prev_pos impacts the subsequent readahead window.
The real problem is performance drop of fsck_msdos between linux-5.4 and
linux-5.15(also linux-6.4). Comparing to linux-5.4,It spends about 110%
time and read 140% pages. The read pattern of fsck_msdos is not fully
sequential.
Simplified read pattern of fsck_msdos likes below:
1.read at page offset 0xa,size 0x1000
2.read at other page offset like 0x20,size 0x1000
3.read at page offset 0xa,size 0x4000
4.read at page offset 0xe,size 0x1000
Here is the read status on linux-6.4:
1.after read at page offset 0xa,size 0x1000
->page ofs 0xa go into pagecache
2.after read at page offset 0x20,size 0x1000
->page ofs 0x20 go into pagecache
3.read at page offset 0xa,size 0x4000
->filemap_get_pages read ofs 0xa from pagecache and returns
->prev_pos is updated to 0xb and goto next loop
->filemap_get_pages tends to read ofs 0xb,size 0x3000
->initial_readahead case in ondemand_readahead since prev_pos is
the same as request ofs.
->read 8 pages while async size is 5 pages
(PageReadahead flag at page 0xe)
4.read at page offset 0xe,size 0x1000
->hit page 0xe with PageReadahead flag set,double the ra_size.
read 16 pages while async size is 16 pages
Now it reads 24 pages while actually uses 5 pages
on linux-5.4:
1.the same as 6.4
2.the same as 6.4
3.read at page offset 0xa,size 0x4000
->read ofs 0xa from pagecache
->read ofs 0xb,size 0x3000 using page_cache_sync_readahead
read 3 pages
->prev_pos is updated to 0xd before generic_file_buffered_read
returns
4.read at page offset 0xe,size 0x1000
->initial_readahead case in ondemand_readahead since
request ofs-prev_pos==1
->read 4 pages while async size is 3 pages
Now it reads 7 pages while actually uses 5 pages.
In above demo, the initial_readahead case is triggered by offset of user
request on linux-5.4. While it may be triggered by update logic of
prev_pos on linux-6.4.
To fix the performance drop, update prev_pos after finishing one read
request.

Allow callers of __filemap_get_folio() to specify a preferred folio
order in the FGP flags. This is only honoured in the FGP_CREATE path;
if there is already a folio in the page cache that covers the index,
we will return it, no matter what its order is. No create-around is
attempted; we will only create folios which start at the specified index.
Unmodified callers will continue to allocate order 0 folios.

Similarly to gfp_t, define fgf_t as its own type to prevent various
misuses and confusion. Leave the flags as FGP_* for now to reduce the
size of this patch; they will be converted to FGF_* later. Move the
documentation to the definition of the type insted of burying it in the
__filemap_get_folio() documentation.

Pull splice updates from Jens Axboe:
"This kills off ITER_PIPE to avoid a race between truncate,
iov_iter_revert() on the pipe and an as-yet incomplete DMA to a bio
with unpinned/unref'ed pages from an O_DIRECT splice read. This causes
memory corruption.
Instead, we either use (a) filemap_splice_read(), which invokes the
buffered file reading code and splices from the pagecache into the
pipe; (b) copy_splice_read(), which bulk-allocates a buffer, reads
into it and then pushes the filled pages into the pipe; or (c) handle
it in filesystem-specific code.
Summary:
- Rename direct_splice_read() to copy_splice_read()
- Simplify the calculations for the number of pages to be reclaimed
in copy_splice_read()
- Turn do_splice_to() into a helper, vfs_splice_read(), so that it
can be used by overlayfs and coda to perform the checks on the
lower fs
- Make vfs_splice_read() jump to copy_splice_read() to handle
direct-I/O and DAX
- Provide shmem with its own splice_read to handle non-existent pages
in the pagecache. We don't want a ->read_folio() as we don't want
to populate holes, but filemap_get_pages() requires it
- Provide overlayfs with its own splice_read to call down to a lower
layer as overlayfs doesn't provide ->read_folio()
- Provide coda with its own splice_read to call down to a lower layer
as coda doesn't provide ->read_folio()
- Direct ->splice_read to copy_splice_read() in tty, procfs, kernfs
and random files as they just copy to the output buffer and don't
splice pages
- Provide wrappers for afs, ceph, ecryptfs, ext4, f2fs, nfs, ntfs3,
ocfs2, orangefs, xfs and zonefs to do locking and/or revalidation
- Make cifs use filemap_splice_read()
- Replace pointers to generic_file_splice_read() with pointers to
filemap_splice_read() as DIO and DAX are handled in the caller;
filesystems can still provide their own alternate ->splice_read()

Ackerley Tng reported an issue with hugetlbfs fallocate here[1]. The
issue showed up after the conversion of hugetlb page cache lookup code to
use page_cache_next_miss. Code in hugetlb fallocate, userfaultfd and GUP
is now using page_cache_next_miss to determine if a page is present the
page cache. The following statement is used.
present = page_cache_next_miss(mapping, index, 1) != index;
There are two issues with page_cache_next_miss when used in this way.
1) If the passed value for index is equal to the 'wrap-around' value,
the same index will always be returned. This wrap-around value is 0,
so 0 will be returned even if page is present at index 0.
2) If there is no gap in the range passed, the last index in the range
will be returned. When passed a range of 1 as above, the passed
index value will be returned even if the page is present.
The end result is the statement above will NEVER indicate a page is
present in the cache, even if it is.
As noted by Ackerley in [1], users can see this by hugetlb fallocate
incorrectly returning EEXIST if pages are already present in the file. In
addition, hugetlb pages will not be included in core dumps if they need to
be brought in via GUP. userfaultfd UFFDIO_COPY also uses this code and
will not notice pages already present in the cache. It may try to
allocate a new page and potentially return ENOMEM as opposed to EEXIST.
Both page_cache_next_miss and page_cache_prev_miss have similar issues.
Fix by:
- Check for index equal to 'wrap-around' value and do not exit early.
- If no gap is found in range, return index outside range.
- Update function description to say 'wrap-around' value could be
returned if passed as index.

There is currently no good way to query the page cache state of large file
sets and directory trees. There is mincore(), but it scales poorly: the
kernel writes out a lot of bitmap data that userspace has to aggregate,
when the user really doesn not care about per-page information in that
case. The user also needs to mmap and unmap each file as it goes along,
which can be quite slow as well.
Some use cases where this information could come in handy:
* Allowing database to decide whether to perform an index scan or
direct table queries based on the in-memory cache state of the
index.
* Visibility into the writeback algorithm, for performance issues
diagnostic.
* Workload-aware writeback pacing: estimating IO fulfilled by page
cache (and IO to be done) within a range of a file, allowing for
more frequent syncing when and where there is IO capacity, and
batching when there is not.
* Computing memory usage of large files/directory trees, analogous to
the du tool for disk usage.
More information about these use cases could be found in the following
thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230315170934.GA97793@cmpxchg.org/
This patch implements a new syscall that queries cache state of a file and
summarizes the number of cached pages, number of dirty pages, number of
pages marked for writeback, number of (recently) evicted pages, etc. in a
given range. Currently, the syscall is only wired in for x86
architecture.
NAME
cachestat - query the page cache statistics of a file.
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/mman.h>
struct cachestat_range {
__u64 off;
__u64 len;
};
struct cachestat {
__u64 nr_cache;
__u64 nr_dirty;
__u64 nr_writeback;
__u64 nr_evicted;
__u64 nr_recently_evicted;
};
int cachestat(unsigned int fd, struct cachestat_range *cstat_range,
struct cachestat *cstat, unsigned int flags);
DESCRIPTION
cachestat() queries the number of cached pages, number of dirty
pages, number of pages marked for writeback, number of evicted
pages, number of recently evicted pages, in the bytes range given by
`off` and `len`.
An evicted page is a page that is previously in the page cache but
has been evicted since. A page is recently evicted if its last
eviction was recent enough that its reentry to the cache would
indicate that it is actively being used by the system, and that
there is memory pressure on the system.
These values are returned in a cachestat struct, whose address is
given by the `cstat` argument.
The `off` and `len` arguments must be non-negative integers. If
`len` > 0, the queried range is [`off`, `off` + `len`]. If `len` ==
0, we will query in the range from `off` to the end of the file.
The `flags` argument is unused for now, but is included for future
extensibility. User should pass 0 (i.e no flag specified).
Currently, hugetlbfs is not supported.
Because the status of a page can change after cachestat() checks it
but before it returns to the application, the returned values may
contain stale information.
RETURN VALUE
On success, cachestat returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno
is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EFAULT cstat or cstat_args points to an invalid address.
EINVAL invalid flags.
EBADF invalid file descriptor.
EOPNOTSUPP file descriptor is of a hugetlbfs file
