max_mapnr is essentially the size of the memory map for systems that use
FLATMEM. There is no reason to calculate it in each and every architecture
when it's anyway calculated in alloc_node_mem_map().
Drop setting of max_mapnr from architecture code and set it once in
alloc_node_mem_map().
While on it, move definition of mem_map and max_mapnr to mm/mm_init.c so
there won't be two copies for MMU and !MMU variants.

Let's reuse our new MM ownership tracking infrastructure for large folios
to make folio_likely_mapped_shared() never return false negatives -- never
indicating "not mapped shared" although the folio *is* mapped shared.
With that, we can rename it to folio_maybe_mapped_shared() and get rid of
the dependency on the mapcount of the first folio page.
The semantics are now arguably clearer: no mixture of "false negatives"
and "false positives", only the remaining possibility for "false
positives".
Thoroughly document the new semantics. We might now detect that a large
folio is "maybe mapped shared" although it *no longer* is -- but once was.
Now, if more than two MMs mapped a folio at the same time, and the MM
mapping the folio exclusively at the end is not one tracked in the two
folio MM slots, we will detect the folio as "maybe mapped shared".
For anonymous folios, usually (except weird corner cases) all PTEs that
target a "maybe mapped shared" folio are R/O. As soon as a child process
would write to them (iow, actively use them), we would CoW and effectively
replace these PTEs. Most cases (below) are not expected to really matter
with large anonymous folios for this reason.
Most importantly, there will be no change at all for:
* small folios
* hugetlb folios
* PMD-mapped PMD-sized THPs (single mapping)
This change has the potential to affect existing callers of
folio_likely_mapped_shared() -> folio_maybe_mapped_shared():
(1) fs/proc/task_mmu.c: no change (hugetlb)
(2) khugepaged counts PTEs that target shared folios towards
max_ptes_shared (default: HPAGE_PMD_NR / 2), meaning we could skip a
collapse where we would have previously collapsed. This only applies
to anonymous folios and is not expected to matter in practice.
Worth noting that this change sorts out case (A) documented in
commit 1bafe96e89 ("mm/khugepaged: replace page_mapcount() check by
folio_likely_mapped_shared()") by removing the possibility for "false
negatives".
(3) MADV_COLD / MADV_PAGEOUT / MADV_FREE will not try splitting
PTE-mapped THPs that are considered shared but not fully covered by
the requested range, consequently not processing them.
PMD-mapped PMD-sized THP are not affected, or when all PTEs are
covered. These functions are usually only called on anon/file folios
that are exclusively mapped most of the time (no other file mappings
or no fork()), so the "false negatives" are not expected to matter in
practice.
(4) mbind() / migrate_pages() / move_pages() will refuse to migrate
shared folios unless MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is effective (requires
CAP_SYS_NICE). We will now reject some folios that could be migrated.
Similar to (3), especially with MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL, so this is not
expected to matter in practice.
Note that cpuset_migrate_mm_workfn() calls do_migrate_pages() with
MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL.
(5) NUMA hinting
mm/migrate.c:migrate_misplaced_folio_prepare() will skip file
folios that are probably shared libraries (-> "mapped shared" and
executable). This check would have detected it as a shared library at
some point (at least 3 MMs mapping it), so detecting it afterwards
does not sound wrong (still a shared library). Not expected to
matter.
mm/memory.c:numa_migrate_check() will indicate TNF_SHARED in
MAP_SHARED file mappings when encountering a shared folio. Similar
reasoning, not expected to matter.
mm/mprotect.c:change_pte_range() will skip folios detected as
shared in CoW mappings. Similarly, this is not expected to matter in
practice, but if it would ever be a problem we could relax that check
a bit (e.g., basing it on the average page-mapcount in a folio),
because it was only an optimization when many (e.g., 288) processes
were mapping the same folios -- see commit 859d4adc34 ("mm: numa: do
not trap faults on shared data section pages.")
(6) mm/rmap.c:folio_referenced_one() will skip exclusive swapbacked
folios in dying processes. Applies to anonymous folios only. Without
"false negatives", we'll now skip all actually shared ones. Skipping
ones that are actually exclusive won't really matter, it's a pure
optimization, and is not expected to matter in practice.
In theory, one can detect the problematic scenario: folio_mapcount() > 0
and no folio MM slot is occupied ("state unknown"). One could reset the
MM slots while doing an rmap walk, which migration / folio split already
do when setting everything up. Further, when batching PTEs we might
naturally learn about a owner (e.g., folio_mapcount() == nr_ptes) and
could update the owner. However, we'll defer that until the scenarios
where it would really matter are clear.

Currently, we never end up reusing PTE-mapped THPs after fork. This
wasn't really a problem with PMD-sized THPs, because they would have to be
PTE-mapped first, but it's getting a problem with smaller THP sizes that
are effectively always PTE-mapped.
With our new "mapped exclusively" vs "maybe mapped shared" logic for large
folios, implementing CoW reuse for PTE-mapped THPs is straight forward: if
exclusively mapped, make sure that all references are from these (our)
mappings. Add some helpful comments to explain the details.
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE selects CONFIG_MM_ID. If we spot an anon
large folio without CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE in that code, something is
seriously messed up.
There are plenty of things we can optimize in the future: For example, we
could remember that the folio is fully exclusive so we could speedup the
next fault further. Also, we could try "faulting around", turning
surrounding PTEs that map the same folio writable. But especially the
latter might increase COW latency, so it would need further investigation.

Currently fs dax pages are considered free when the refcount drops to one
and their refcounts are not increased when mapped via PTEs or decreased
when unmapped. This requires special logic in mm paths to detect that
these pages should not be properly refcounted, and to detect when the
refcount drops to one instead of zero.
On the other hand get_user_pages(), etc. will properly refcount fs dax
pages by taking a reference and dropping it when the page is unpinned.
Tracking this special behaviour requires extra PTE bits (eg. pte_devmap)
and introduces rules that are potentially confusing and specific to FS DAX
pages. To fix this, and to possibly allow removal of the special PTE bits
in future, convert the fs dax page refcounts to be zero based and instead
take a reference on the page each time it is mapped as is currently the
case for normal pages.
This may also allow a future clean-up to remove the pgmap refcounting that
is currently done in mm/gup.c.

Currently to map a DAX page the DAX driver calls vmf_insert_pfn. This
creates a special devmap PTE entry for the pfn but does not take a
reference on the underlying struct page for the mapping. This is because
DAX page refcounts are treated specially, as indicated by the presence of
a devmap entry.
To allow DAX page refcounts to be managed the same as normal page
refcounts introduce vmf_insert_page_mkwrite(). This will take a reference
on the underlying page much the same as vmf_insert_page, except it also
permits upgrading an existing mapping to be writable if
requested/possible.

Zone device pages are used to represent various type of device memory
managed by device drivers. Currently compound zone device pages are not
supported. This is because MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX pages are the only user
of higher order zone device pages and have their own page reference
counting.
A future change will unify FS DAX reference counting with normal page
reference counting rules and remove the special FS DAX reference counting.
Supporting that requires compound zone device pages.
Supporting compound zone device pages requires compound_head() to
distinguish between head and tail pages whilst still preserving the
special struct page fields that are specific to zone device pages.
A tail page is distinguished by having bit zero being set in
page->compound_head, with the remaining bits pointing to the head page.
For zone device pages page->compound_head is shared with page->pgmap.
The page->pgmap field must be common to all pages within a folio, even if
the folio spans memory sections. Therefore pgmap is the same for both
head and tail pages and can be moved into the folio and we can use the
standard scheme to find compound_head from a tail page.

ioremap_prot() currently accepts pgprot_val parameter as an unsigned long,
thus implicitly assuming that pgprot_val and pgprot_t could never be
bigger than unsigned long. But this assumption soon will not be true on
arm64 when using D128 pgtables. In 128 bit page table configuration,
unsigned long is 64 bit, but pgprot_t is 128 bit.
Passing platform abstracted pgprot_t argument is better as compared to
size based data types. Let's change the parameter to directly pass
pgprot_t like another similar helper generic_ioremap_prot().
Without this change in place, D128 configuration does not work on arm64 as
the top 64 bits gets silently stripped when passing the protection value
to this function.

rw_semaphore is a sizable structure of 40 bytes and consumes considerable
space for each vm_area_struct. However vma_lock has two important
specifics which can be used to replace rw_semaphore with a simpler
structure:
1. Readers never wait. They try to take the vma_lock and fall back to
mmap_lock if that fails.
2. Only one writer at a time will ever try to write-lock a vma_lock
because writers first take mmap_lock in write mode. Because of these
requirements, full rw_semaphore functionality is not needed and we can
replace rw_semaphore and the vma->detached flag with a refcount
(vm_refcnt).
When vma is in detached state, vm_refcnt is 0 and only a call to
vma_mark_attached() can take it out of this state. Note that unlike
before, now we enforce both vma_mark_attached() and vma_mark_detached() to
be done only after vma has been write-locked. vma_mark_attached() changes
vm_refcnt to 1 to indicate that it has been attached to the vma tree.
When a reader takes read lock, it increments vm_refcnt, unless the top
usable bit of vm_refcnt (0x40000000) is set, indicating presence of a
writer. When writer takes write lock, it sets the top usable bit to
indicate its presence. If there are readers, writer will wait using newly
introduced mm->vma_writer_wait. Since all writers take mmap_lock in write
mode first, there can be only one writer at a time. The last reader to
release the lock will signal the writer to wake up. refcount might
overflow if there are many competing readers, in which case read-locking
will fail. Readers are expected to handle such failures.
In summary:
1. all readers increment the vm_refcnt;
2. writer sets top usable (writer) bit of vm_refcnt;
3. readers cannot increment the vm_refcnt if the writer bit is set;
4. in the presence of readers, writer must wait for the vm_refcnt to drop
to 1 (plus the VMA_LOCK_OFFSET writer bit), indicating an attached vma
with no readers;
5. vm_refcnt overflow is handled by the readers.
While this vm_lock replacement does not yet result in a smaller

vma_start_write() is used in many places and will grow in size very soon.
It is not used in performance critical paths and uninlining it should
limit the future code size growth. No functional changes.

Current implementation does not set detached flag when a VMA is first
allocated. This does not represent the real state of the VMA, which is
detached until it is added into mm's VMA tree. Fix this by marking new
VMAs as detached and resetting detached flag only after VMA is added into
a tree.
Introduce vma_mark_attached() to make the API more readable and to
simplify possible future cleanup when vma->vm_mm might be used to indicate
detached vma and vma_mark_attached() will need an additional mm parameter.

Now that conversion to device-exclusive does no longer perform an rmap
walk and all page_vma_mapped_walk() users were taught to properly handle
device-exclusive entries, let's treat device-exclusive entries just as if
they would be present, similar to how we handle device-private entries
already.
This fixes swapout/migration/split/hwpoison of folios with
device-exclusive entries.
We only had to take care of page_vma_mapped_walk() users, because these
traditionally assume pte_present(). Other page table walkers already have
to handle !pte_present(), and some of them might simply skip them (e.g.,
MADV_PAGEOUT) if they are not specialized on them. This change doesn't
modify the latter.
Note that while folios with device-exclusive PTEs can now get migrated,
khugepaged will not collapse a THP if there is device-exclusive PTE.
Doing so might also not be desired if the device frequently performs
atomics to the same page. Similarly, KSM will never merge order-0 folios
that are device-exclusive.

Let's do it just like mprotect write-upgrade or during NUMA-hinting faults
on PROT_NONE PTEs: detect if the PTE can be writable by using
can_change_pte_writable().
Set the PTE only dirty if the folio is dirty: we might not necessarily
have a write access, and setting the PTE writable doesn't require setting
the PTE dirty.
From a CPU perspective, these entries are clean. So only set the PTE
dirty if the folios is dirty.
With this change in place, there is no need to have separate readable and
writable device-exclusive entry types, and we'll merge them next
separately.
Note that, during fork(), we first convert the device-exclusive entries
back to ordinary PTEs, and we only ever allow conversion of writable PTEs
to device-exclusive -- only mprotect can currently change them to
readable-device-exclusive. Consequently, we always expect
PageAnonExclusive(page)==true and can_change_pte_writable()==true, unless
we are dealing with soft-dirty tracking or uffd-wp. But reusing
can_change_pte_writable() for now is cleaner.

When handling faults for anon shmem finish_fault() will attempt to install
ptes for the entire folio. Unfortunately if it encounters a single
non-pte_none entry in that range it will bail, even if the pte that
triggered the fault is still pte_none. When this situation happens the
fault will be retried endlessly never making forward progress.
This patch fixes this behavior and if it detects that a pte in the range
is not pte_none it will fall back to setting a single pte.

In zap_pte_range(), if the pte lock was released midway, the pte entries
may be refilled with physical pages by another thread, which may cause a
non-empty PTE page to be reclaimed and eventually cause the system to
crash.
To fix it, fall back to the slow path in this case to recheck if all pte
entries are still none.

The pagetable_p*_dtor() are exactly the same except for the handling of
ptlock. If we make ptlock_free() handle the case where ptdesc->ptl is
NULL and remove VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() from pmd_ptlock_free(), we can unify
pagetable_p*_dtor() into one function. Let's introduce pagetable_dtor()
to do this.
Later, pagetable_dtor() will be moved to tlb_remove_ptdesc(), so that
ptlock and page table pages can be freed together (regardless of whether
RCU is used). This prevents the use-after-free problem where the ptlock
is freed immediately but the page table pages is freed later via RCU.

There seem to be several categories of calls to lru_add_drain and
lru_add_drain_all.
The first are code paths that recently allocated, swapped in, or otherwise
processed a batch of pages, and want them all on the LRU. These drain
pages that were recently allocated, probably on the local CPU.
A second category are code paths that are actively trying to reclaim,
migrate, or offline memory. These often use lru_add_drain_all, to drain
the caches on all CPUs.
However, there also seem to be some other callers where we aren't really
doing either. They are calling lru_add_drain(), despite operating on
pages that may have been allocated long ago, and quite possibly on
different CPUs.
Those calls are not likely to be effective at anything but creating lock
contention on the LRU locks.
Remove the lru_add_drain calls in the latter category.
For detailed reasoning, see [1] and [2].

Merge tag 'fsnotify_hsm_for_v6.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs
Pull fsnotify pre-content notification support from Jan Kara:
"This introduces a new fsnotify event (FS_PRE_ACCESS) that gets
generated before a file contents is accessed.
The event is synchronous so if there is listener for this event, the
kernel waits for reply. On success the execution continues as usual,
on failure we propagate the error to userspace. This allows userspace
to fill in file content on demand from slow storage. The context in
which the events are generated has been picked so that we don't hold
any locks and thus there's no risk of a deadlock for the userspace
handler.
The new pre-content event is available only for users with global
CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability (similarly to other parts of fanotify
functionality) and it is an administrator responsibility to make sure
the userspace event handler doesn't do stupid stuff that can DoS the
system.
Based on your feedback from the last submission, fsnotify code has
been improved and now file->f_mode encodes whether pre-content event
needs to be generated for the file so the fast path when nobody wants
pre-content event for the file just grows the additional file->f_mode
check. As a bonus this also removes the checks whether the old
FS_ACCESS event needs to be generated from the fast path. Also the
place where the event is generated during page fault has been moved so
now filemap_fault() generates the event if and only if there is no
uptodate folio in the page cache.
Also we have dropped FS_PRE_MODIFY event as current real-world users
of the pre-content functionality don't really use it so let's start
with the minimal useful feature set"

Now in order to pursue high performance, applications mostly use some
high-performance user-mode memory allocators, such as jemalloc or
tcmalloc. These memory allocators use madvise(MADV_DONTNEED or MADV_FREE)
to release physical memory, but neither MADV_DONTNEED nor MADV_FREE will
release page table memory, which may cause huge page table memory usage.
The following are a memory usage snapshot of one process which actually
happened on our server:
VIRT: 55t
RES: 590g
VmPTE: 110g
In this case, most of the page table entries are empty. For such a PTE
page where all entries are empty, we can actually free it back to the
system for others to use.
As a first step, this commit aims to synchronously free the empty PTE
pages in madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) case. We will detect and free empty PTE
pages in zap_pte_range(), and will add zap_details.reclaim_pt to exclude
cases other than madvise(MADV_DONTNEED).
Once an empty PTE is detected, we first try to hold the pmd lock within
the pte lock. If successful, we clear the pmd entry directly (fast path).
Otherwise, we wait until the pte lock is released, then re-hold the pmd
and pte locks and loop PTRS_PER_PTE times to check pte_none() to re-detect
whether the PTE page is empty and free it (slow path).
For other cases such as madvise(MADV_FREE), consider scanning and freeing
empty PTE pages asynchronously in the future.
The following code snippet can show the effect of optimization:
mmap 50G
while (1) {
for (; i < 1024 * 25; i++) {
touch 2M memory
madvise MADV_DONTNEED 2M
}
}
As we can see, the memory usage of VmPTE is reduced:

Some architectures have special handling after clearing user folios:
architectures, which set cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to true, require
flushing dcache; arc, which sets cpu_icache_is_aliasing() to true, changes
folio->flags to make icache coherent to dcache. So __GFP_ZERO using only
clear_page() is not enough to zero user folios and clear_user_(high)page()
must be used. Otherwise, user data will be corrupted.
Fix it by always clearing user folios with clear_user_(high)page() when
cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() is true or cpu_icache_is_aliasing() is true.
Rename alloc_zeroed() to user_alloc_needs_zeroing() and invert the logic
to clarify its intend.

There's nothing stopping us from supporting this, we could simply pass
the order into the helper and emit the proper length. However currently
there's no tests to validate this works properly, so disable it until
there's a desire to support this along with the appropriate tests.

Add a new PTE marker that results in any access causing the accessing
process to segfault.
This is preferable to PTE_MARKER_POISONED, which results in the same
handling as hardware poisoned memory, and is thus undesirable for cases
where we simply wish to 'soft' poison a range.
This is in preparation for implementing the ability to specify guard pages
at the page table level, i.e. ranges that, when accessed, should cause
process termination.
Additionally, rename zap_drop_file_uffd_wp() to zap_drop_markers() - the
function checks the ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER flag so naming it for this single
purpose was simply incorrect.
We then reuse the same logic to determine whether a zap should clear a
guard entry - this should only be performed on teardown and never on
MADV_DONTNEED or MADV_FREE.
We additionally add a WARN_ON_ONCE() in hugetlb logic should a guard
marker be encountered there, as we explicitly do not support this
operation and this should not occur.

Commit 6471384af2 ("mm: security: introduce init_on_alloc=1 and
init_on_free=1 boot options") forces allocated page to be zeroed in
post_alloc_hook() when init_on_alloc=1.
For order-0 folios, if arch does not define
vma_alloc_zeroed_movable_folio(), the default implementation again zeros
the page return from the buddy allocator. So the page is zeroed twice.
Fix it by passing __GFP_ZERO instead to avoid double page zeroing. At the
moment, s390,arm64,x86,alpha,m68k are not impacted since they define their
own vma_alloc_zeroed_movable_folio().
For >0 order folios (mTHP and PMD THP), folio_zero_user() is called to
zero the folio again. Fix it by calling folio_zero_user() only if
init_on_alloc is set. All arch are impacted.
Add alloc_zeroed() helper to encapsulate the init_on_alloc check.

The hugepage parameter was deprecated since commit ddc1a5cbc0
("mempolicy: alloc_pages_mpol() for NUMA policy without vma"), for
PMD-sized THP, it still tries only preferred node if possible in
vma_alloc_folio() by checking the order of the folio allocation.

In copy_pte_range(), we may modify the src_pte entry after holding the
src_ptl, so convert it to using pte_offset_map_rw_nolock(). Since we
already hold the exclusive mmap_lock, and the copy_pte_range() and
retract_page_tables() are using vma->anon_vma to be exclusive, so the PTE
page is stable, there is no need to get pmdval and do pmd_same() check.

In handle_pte_fault(), we may modify the vmf->pte after acquiring the
vmf->ptl, so convert it to using pte_offset_map_rw_nolock(). But since we
will do the pte_same() check, so there is no need to get pmdval to do
pmd_same() check, just pass a dummy variable to it.
