filemap: check compound_head(page)->mapping in filemap_fault()
Patch series "Enable THP for text section of non-shmem files", v10;
This patchset follows up discussion at LSF/MM 2019. The motivation is to
put text section of an application in THP, and thus reduces iTLB miss rate
and improves performance. Both Facebook and Oracle showed strong
interests to this feature.
To make reviews easier, this set aims a mininal valid product. Current
version of the work does not have any changes to file system specific
code. This comes with some limitations (discussed later).
This set enables an application to "hugify" its text section by simply
running something like:
madvise(0x600000, 0x80000, MADV_HUGEPAGE);
Before this call, the /proc/<pid>/maps looks like:
00400000-074d0000 r-xp 00000000 00:27 2006927 app
After this call, part of the text section is split out and mapped to
THP:
00400000-00425000 r-xp 00000000 00:27 2006927 app
00600000-00e00000 r-xp 00200000 00:27 2006927 app <<< on THP
00e00000-074d0000 r-xp 00a00000 00:27 2006927 app
Limitations:
1. This only works for text section (vma with VM_DENYWRITE).
2. Original limitation #2 is removed in v3.
We gated this feature with an experimental config, READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS.
Once we get better support on the write path, we can remove the config and
enable it by default.
Tested cases:
1. Tested with btrfs and ext4.
2. Tested with real work application (memcache like caching service).
3. Tested with "THP aware uprobe":
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mm/list/?series=131339
This patch (of 7):
Currently, filemap_fault() avoids race condition with truncate by checking
page->mapping == mapping. This does not work for compound pages. This
patch let it check compound_head(page)->mapping instead.

hugetlbfs: don't retry when pool page allocations start to fail
When allocating hugetlbfs pool pages via /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages, the pages will be interleaved between all nodes of the system. If nodes are not equal, it is quite possible for one node to fill up before the others. When this happens, the code still attempts to allocate pages from the full node. This results in calls to direct reclaim and compaction which slow things down considerably. When allocating pool pages, note the state of the previous allocation for each node. If previous allocation failed, do not use the aggressive retry algorithm on successive attempts. The allocation will still succeed if there is memory available, but it will not try as hard to free up memory.

mm, compaction: raise compaction priority after it withdrawns
Mike Kravetz reports that "hugetlb allocations could stall for minutes or hours when should_compact_retry() would return true more often then it should. Specifically, this was in the case where compact_result was COMPACT_DEFERRED and COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED and no progress was being made." The problem is that the compaction_withdrawn() test in should_compact_retry() includes compaction outcomes that are only possible on low compaction priority, and results in a retry without increasing the priority. This may result in furter reclaim, and more incomplete compaction attempts. With this patch, compaction priority is raised when possible, or should_compact_retry() returns false. The COMPACT_SKIPPED result doesn't really fit together with the other outcomes in compaction_withdrawn(), as that's a result caused by insufficient order-0 pages, not due to low compaction priority. With this patch, it is moved to a new compaction_needs_reclaim() function, and for that outcome we keep the current logic of retrying if it looks like reclaim will be able to help.

mm, reclaim: cleanup should_continue_reclaim()
After commit "mm, reclaim: make should_continue_reclaim perform dryrun detection", closer look at the function shows, that nr_reclaimed == 0 means the function will always return false. And since non-zero nr_reclaimed implies non_zero nr_scanned, testing nr_scanned serves no purpose, and so does the testing for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL. This patch thus cleans up the function to test only !nr_reclaimed upfront, and remove the __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL test and nr_scanned parameter completely. Comment is also updated, explaining that approximating "full LRU list has been scanned" with nr_scanned == 0 didn't really work.

mm, reclaim: make should_continue_reclaim perform dryrun detection
Patch series "address hugetlb page allocation stalls", v2. Allocation of hugetlb pages via sysctl or procfs can stall for minutes or hours. A simple example on a two node system with 8GB of memory is as follows: echo 4096 > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages echo 4096 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages Obviously, both allocation attempts will fall short of their 8GB goal. However, one or both of these commands may stall and not be interruptible. The issues were initially discussed in mail thread [1] and RFC code at [2]. This series addresses the issues causing the stalls. There are two distinct fixes, a cleanup, and an optimization. The reclaim patch by Hillf and compaction patch by Vlasitmil address corner cases in their respective areas. hugetlb page allocation could stall due to either of these issues. Vlasitmil added a cleanup patch after Hillf's modifications. The hugetlb patch by Mike is an optimization suggested during the debug and development process. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/d38a095e-dc39-7e82-bb76-2c9247929f07@oracle.com [2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190724175014.9935-1-mike.kravetz@oracle.com This patch (of 4): Address the issue of should_continue_reclaim returning true too often for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL attempts when !nr_reclaimed and nr_scanned. This was observed during hugetlb page allocation causing stalls for minutes or hours. We can stop reclaiming pages if compaction reports it can make a progress. There might be side-effects for other high-order allocations that would potentially benefit from reclaiming more before compaction so that they would be faster and less likely to stall. However, the consequences of premature/over-reclaim are considered worse. We can also bail out of reclaiming pages if we know that there are not enough inactive lru pages left to satisfy the costly allocation. We can give up reclaiming pages too if we see dryrun occur, with the certainty of plenty of inactive pages. IOW with dryrun detected, we are sure we have reclaimed as many pages as we could.

memcg, kmem: deprecate kmem.limit_in_bytes
Cgroup v1 memcg controller has exposed a dedicated kmem limit to users which turned out to be really a bad idea because there are paths which cannot shrink the kernel memory usage enough to get below the limit (e.g. because the accounted memory is not reclaimable). There are cases when the failure is even not allowed (e.g. __GFP_NOFAIL). This means that the kmem limit is in excess to the hard limit without any way to shrink and thus completely useless. OOM killer cannot be invoked to handle the situation because that would lead to a premature oom killing. As a result many places might see ENOMEM returning from kmalloc and result in unexpected errors. E.g. a global OOM killer when there is a lot of free memory because ENOMEM is translated into VM_FAULT_OOM in #PF path and therefore pagefault_out_of_memory would result in OOM killer. Please note that the kernel memory is still accounted to the overall limit along with the user memory so removing the kmem specific limit should still allow to contain kernel memory consumption. Unlike the kmem one, though, it invokes memory reclaim and targeted memcg oom killing if necessary. Start the deprecation process by crying to the kernel log. Let's see whether there are relevant usecases and simply return to EINVAL in the second stage if nobody complains in few releases.

mm, oom: consider present pages for the node size
constrained_alloc() calculates the size of the oom domain by using node_spanned_pages which is incorrect because this is the full range of the physical memory range that the numa node occupies rather than the memory that backs that range which is represented by node_present_pages. Sparsely populated nodes (e.g. after memory hot remove or simply sparse due to memory layout) can have really a large difference between the two. This shouldn't really cause any real user observable problems because the oom calculates a ratio against totalpages and used memory cannot exceed present pages but it is confusing and wrong from code point of view.

mm/oom: add oom_score_adj and pgtables to Killed process message
For an OOM event: print oom_score_adj value for the OOM Killed process to document what the oom score adjust value was at the time the process was OOM Killed. The adjustment value can be set by user code and it affects the resulting oom_score so it is used to influence kill process selection. When eligible tasks are not printed (sysctl oom_dump_tasks = 0) printing this value is the only documentation of the value for the process being killed. Having this value on the Killed process message is useful to document if a miscconfiguration occurred or to confirm that the oom_score_adj configuration applies as expected. An example which illustates both misconfiguration and validation that the oom_score_adj was applied as expected is: Aug 14 23:00:02 testserver kernel: Out of memory: Killed process 2692 (systemd-udevd) total-vm:1056800kB, anon-rss:1052760kB, file-rss:4kB, shmem-rss:0kB pgtables:22kB oom_score_adj:1000 The systemd-udevd is a critical system application that should have an oom_score_adj of -1000. It was miconfigured to have a adjustment of 1000 making it a highly favored OOM kill target process. The output documents both the misconfiguration and the fact that the process was correctly targeted by OOM due to the miconfiguration. This can be quite helpful for triage and problem determination. The addition of the pgtables_bytes shows page table usage by the process and is a useful measure of the memory size of the process.

mm/oom_kill.c: add task UID to info message on an oom kill
In the event of an oom kill, useful information about the killed process is printed to dmesg. Users, especially system administrators, will find it useful to immediately see the UID of the process. We already print uid when dumping eligible tasks so it is not overly hard to find that information in the oom report. However this information is unavailable when dumping of eligible tasks is disabled. In the following example, abuse_the_ram is the name of a program that attempts to iteratively allocate all available memory until it is stopped by force. Current message: Out of memory: Killed process 35389 (abuse_the_ram) total-vm:133718232kB, anon-rss:129624980kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB Patched message: Out of memory: Killed process 2739 (abuse_the_ram), total-vm:133880028kB, anon-rss:129754836kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB, UID:0 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: s/UID %d/UID:%u/ in printk] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1560362273-534-1-git-send-email-jsavitz@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Joel Savitz <jsavitz@redhat.com> Suggested-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Acked-by: Rafael Aquini <aquini@redhat.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

mm/vmalloc: modify struct vmap_area to reduce its size
Objective --------- The current implementation of struct vmap_area wasted space. After applying this commit, sizeof(struct vmap_area) has been reduced from 11 words to 8 words. Description ----------- 1) Pack "subtree_max_size", "vm" and "purge_list". This is no problem because A) "subtree_max_size" is only used when vmap_area is in "free" tree B) "vm" is only used when vmap_area is in "busy" tree C) "purge_list" is only used when vmap_area is in vmap_purge_list 2) Eliminate "flags". ;Since only one flag VM_VM_AREA is being used, and the same thing can be done by judging whether "vm" is NULL, then the "flags" can be eliminated.

The busy tree can be quite big, even though the area is freed or unmapped it still stays there until "purge" logic removes it. 1) Optimize and reduce the size of "busy" tree by removing a node from it right away as soon as user triggers free paths. It is possible to do so, because the allocation is done using another augmented tree. The vmalloc test driver shows the difference, for example the "fix_size_alloc_test" is ~11% better comparing with default configuration: sudo ./test_vmalloc.sh performance <default> Summary: fix_size_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 993985 usec Summary: full_fit_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 973554 usec Summary: long_busy_list_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 12617652 usec <default> <this patch> Summary: fix_size_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 882263 usec Summary: full_fit_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 973407 usec Summary: long_busy_list_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 12593929 usec <this patch> 2) Since the busy tree now contains allocated areas only and does not interfere with lazily free nodes, introduce the new function show_purge_info() that dumps "unpurged" areas that is propagated through "/proc/vmallocinfo". 3) Eliminate VM_LAZY_FREE flag.

mm/sparse.c: fix memory leak of sparsemap_buf in aligned memory
sparse_buffer_alloc(xsize) gets the size of memory from sparsemap_buf
after being aligned with the size. However, the size is at least
PAGE_ALIGN(sizeof(struct page) * PAGES_PER_SECTION) and usually larger
than PAGE_SIZE.
Also, sparse_buffer_fini() only frees memory between sparsemap_buf and
sparsemap_buf_end, since sparsemap_buf may be changed by PTR_ALIGN()
first, the aligned space before sparsemap_buf is wasted and no one will
touch it.
In our ARM32 platform (without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP)
Sparse_buffer_init
Reserve d359c000 - d3e9c000 (9M)
Sparse_buffer_alloc
Alloc d3a00000 - d3E80000 (4.5M)
Sparse_buffer_fini
Free d3e80000 - d3e9c000 (~=100k)
The reserved memory between d359c000 - d3a00000 (~=4.4M) is unfreed.
In ARM64 platform (with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP)
sparse_buffer_init
Reserve ffffffc07d623000 - ffffffc07f623000 (32M)
Sparse_buffer_alloc

Sparse_buffer_fini

The reserved memory between ffffffc07d623000 - ffffffc07d800000
(~=1.9M) is unfreed.

mm/memory_hotplug: drop PageReserved() check in online_pages_range()
move_pfn_range_to_zone() will set all pages to PG_reserved via memmap_init_zone(). The only way a page could no longer be reserved would be if a MEM_GOING_ONLINE notifier would clear PG_reserved - which is not done (the online_page callback is used for that purpose by e.g., Hyper-V instead). walk_system_ram_range() will never call online_pages_range() with duplicate PFNs, so drop the PageReserved() check. This seems to be a leftover from ancient times where the memmap was initialized when adding memory and we wanted to check for already onlined memory.

drivers/base/memory.c: don't store end_section_nr in memory blocks
Each memory block spans the same amount of sections/pages/bytes. The size is determined before the first memory block is created. No need to store what we can easily calculate - and the calculations even look simpler now. Michal brought up the idea of variable-sized memory blocks. However, if we ever implement something like this, we will need an API compatibility switch and reworks at various places (most code assumes a fixed memory block size). So let's cleanup what we have right now. While at it, fix the variable naming in register_mem_sect_under_node() - we no longer talk about a single section.

I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to use generic versions of PTE allocation. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190711030339.20892-1-npiggin@gmail.com This patch (of 3): Remove page table allocator "quicklists". These have been around for a long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only used on ia64 and sh architectures. The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't apply anymore. If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator behaviour for minor archs. Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page allocator if this is still so slow.

mm: release the spinlock on zap_pte_range
In our testing (camera recording), Miguel and Wei found unmap_page_range() takes above 6ms with preemption disabled easily. When I see that, the reason is it holds page table spinlock during entire 512 page operation in a PMD. 6.2ms is never trivial for user experince if RT task couldn't run in the time because it could make frame drop or glitch audio problem. I had a time to benchmark it via adding some trace_printk hooks between pte_offset_map_lock and pte_unmap_unlock in zap_pte_range. The testing device is 2018 premium mobile device. I can get 2ms delay rather easily to release 2M(ie, 512 pages) when the task runs on little core even though it doesn't have any IPI and LRU lock contention. It's already too heavy. If I remove activate_page, 35-40% overhead of zap_pte_range is gone so most of overhead(about 0.7ms) comes from activate_page via mark_page_accessed. Thus, if there are LRU contention, that 0.7ms could accumulate up to several ms. So this patch adds a check for need_resched() in the loop, and a preemption point if necessary.

mm: vmscan: do not share cgroup iteration between reclaimers
One of our services observed a high rate of cgroup OOM kills in the presence of large amounts of clean cache. Debugging showed that the culprit is the shared cgroup iteration in page reclaim. Under high allocation concurrency, multiple threads enter reclaim at the same time. Fearing overreclaim when we first switched from the single global LRU to cgrouped LRU lists, we introduced a shared iteration state for reclaim invocations - whether 1 or 20 reclaimers are active concurrently, we only walk the cgroup tree once: the 1st reclaimer reclaims the first cgroup, the second the second one etc. With more reclaimers than cgroups, we start another walk from the top. This sounded reasonable at the time, but the problem is that reclaim concurrency doesn't scale with allocation concurrency. As reclaim concurrency increases, the amount of memory individual reclaimers get to scan gets smaller and smaller. Individual reclaimers may only see one cgroup per cycle, and that may not have much reclaimable memory. We see individual reclaimers declare OOM when there is plenty of reclaimable memory available in cgroups they didn't visit. This patch does away with the shared iterator, and every reclaimer is allowed to scan the full cgroup tree and see all of reclaimable memory, just like it would on a non-cgrouped system. This way, when OOM is declared, we know that the reclaimer actually had a chance. To still maintain fairness in reclaim pressure, disallow cgroup reclaim from bailing out of the tree walk early. Kswapd and regular direct reclaim already don't bail, so it's not clear why limit reclaim would have to, especially since it only walks subtrees to begin with. This change completely eliminates the OOM kills on our service, while showing no signs of overreclaim - no increased scan rates, %sys time, or abrupt free memory spikes. I tested across 100 machines that have 64G of RAM and host about 300 cgroups each. [ It's possible overreclaim never was a *practical* issue to begin with - it was simply a concern we had on the mailing lists at the time, with no real data to back it up. But we have also added more bail-out conditions deeper inside reclaim (e.g. the proportional exit in shrink_node_memcg) since. Regardless, now we have data that suggests full walks are more reliable and scale just fine. ] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190812192316.13615-1-hannes@cmpxchg.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Reviewed-by: Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov.dev@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

mm, memcg: throttle allocators when failing reclaim over memory.high
We're trying to use memory.high to limit workloads, but have found that
containment can frequently fail completely and cause OOM situations
outside of the cgroup. This happens especially with swap space -- either
when none is configured, or swap is full. These failures often also don't
have enough warning to allow one to react, whether for a human or for a
daemon monitoring PSI.
Here is output from a simple program showing how long it takes in usec
(column 2) to allocate a megabyte of anonymous memory (column 1) when a
cgroup is already beyond its memory high setting, and no swap is
available:
[root@ktst ~]# systemd-run -p MemoryHigh=100M -p MemorySwapMax=1 \

[System OOM in 2-3 seconds]
The delay does go up extremely marginally past the 100MB memory.high
threshold, as now we spend time scanning before returning to usermode, but
it's nowhere near enough to contain growth. It also doesn't get worse the
more pages you have, since it only considers nr_pages.
The current situation goes against both the expectations of users of
memory.high, and our intentions as cgroup v2 developers. In
cgroup-v2.txt, we claim that we will throttle and only under "extreme
conditions" will memory.high protection be breached. Likewise, cgroup v2
users generally also expect that memory.high should throttle workloads as
they exceed their high threshold. However, as seen above, this isn't
always how it works in practice -- even on banal setups like those with no
swap, or where swap has become exhausted, we can end up with memory.high
being breached and us having no weapons left in our arsenal to combat
runaway growth with, since reclaim is futile.
It's also hard for system monitoring software or users to tell how bad the
situation is, as "high" events for the memcg may in some cases be benign,
and in others be catastrophic. The current status quo is that we fail
containment in a way that doesn't provide any advance warning that things
are about to go horribly wrong (for example, we are about to invoke the
kernel OOM killer).
This patch introduces explicit throttling when reclaim is failing to keep
memcg size contained at the memory.high setting. It does so by applying
an exponential delay curve derived from the memcg's overage compared to
memory.high. In the normal case where the memcg is either below or only
marginally over its memory.high setting, no throttling will be performed.
This composes well with system health monitoring and remediation, as these
allocator delays are factored into PSI's memory pressure calculations.
This both creates a mechanism system administrators or applications
consuming the PSI interface to trivially see that the memcg in question is
struggling and use that to make more reasonable decisions, and permits
them enough time to act. Either of these can act with significantly more
nuance than that we can provide using the system OOM killer.
This is a similar idea to memory.oom_control in cgroup v1 which would put
the cgroup to sleep if the threshold was violated, but it's also
significantly improved as it results in visible memory pressure, and also
doesn't schedule indefinitely, which previously made tracing and other
introspection difficult (ie. it's clamped at 2*HZ per allocation through
MEMCG_MAX_HIGH_DELAY_JIFFIES).
Contrast the previous results with a kernel with this patch:

As you can see, in the normal case, memory allocation takes around 1000
usec. However, as we exceed our memory.high, things start to increase
exponentially, but fairly leniently at first. Our first megabyte over
memory.high takes us 0.16 seconds, then the next is 0.46 seconds, then the
next is almost an entire second. This gets worse until we reach our
eventual 2*HZ clamp per batch, resulting in 16 seconds per megabyte.
However, this is still making forward progress, so permits tracing or
further analysis with programs like GDB.
We use an exponential curve for our delay penalty for a few reasons:
1. We run mem_cgroup_handle_over_high to potentially do reclaim after
we've already performed allocations, which means that temporarily
going over memory.high by a small amount may be perfectly legitimate,
even for compliant workloads. We don't want to unduly penalise such
cases.
2. An exponential curve (as opposed to a static or linear delay) allows
ramping up memory pressure stats more gradually, which can be useful
to work out that you have set memory.high too low, without destroying
application performance entirely.
This patch expands on earlier work by Johannes Weiner. Thanks!

Transparent Huge Pages are currently stored in i_pages as pointers to consecutive subpages.

mm/filemap.c: don't initiate writeback if mapping has no dirty pages
Functions like filemap_write_and_wait_range() should do nothing if inode has no dirty pages or pages currently under writeback. But they anyway construct struct writeback_control and this does some atomic operations if CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK=y - on fast path it locks inode->i_lock and updates state of writeback ownership, on slow path might be more work. Current this path is safely avoided only when inode mapping has no pages. For example generic_file_read_iter() calls filemap_write_and_wait_range() at each O_DIRECT read - pretty hot path. This patch skips starting new writeback if mapping has no dirty tags set. If writeback is already in progress filemap_write_and_wait_range() will wait for it.

mm, page_owner, debug_pagealloc: save and dump freeing stack trace
The debug_pagealloc functionality is useful to catch buggy page allocator users that cause e.g. use after free or double free. When page inconsistency is detected, debugging is often simpler by knowing the call stack of process that last allocated and freed the page. When page_owner is also enabled, we record the allocation stack trace, but not freeing. This patch therefore adds recording of freeing process stack trace to page owner info, if both page_owner and debug_pagealloc are configured and enabled. With only page_owner enabled, this info is not useful for the memory leak debugging use case. dump_page() is adjusted to print the info. An example result of calling __free_pages() twice may look like this (note the page last free stack trace): BUG: Bad page state in process bash pfn:13d8f8 page:ffffc31984f63e00 refcount:-1 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 flags: 0x1affff800000000() raw: 01affff800000000 dead000000000100 dead000000000122 0000000000000000 raw: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 ffffffffffffffff 0000000000000000 page dumped because: nonzero _refcount page_owner tracks the page as freed page last allocated via order 0, migratetype Unmovable, gfp_mask 0xcc0(GFP_KERNEL) prep_new_page+0x143/0x150 get_page_from_freelist+0x289/0x380 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x13c/0x2d0 khugepaged+0x6e/0xc10 kthread+0xf9/0x130 ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50 page last free stack trace: free_pcp_prepare+0x134/0x1e0 free_unref_page+0x18/0x90 khugepaged+0x7b/0xc10 kthread+0xf9/0x130 ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50 Modules linked in: CPU: 3 PID: 271 Comm: bash Not tainted 5.3.0-rc4-2.g07a1a73-default+ #57 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.12.1-0-ga5cab58-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x85/0xc0 bad_page.cold+0xba/0xbf rmqueue_pcplist.isra.0+0x6c5/0x6d0 rmqueue+0x2d/0x810 get_page_from_freelist+0x191/0x380 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x13c/0x2d0 __get_free_pages+0xd/0x30 __pud_alloc+0x2c/0x110 copy_page_range+0x4f9/0x630 dup_mmap+0x362/0x480 dup_mm+0x68/0x110 copy_process+0x19e1/0x1b40 _do_fork+0x73/0x310 __x64_sys_clone+0x75/0x80 do_syscall_64+0x6e/0x1e0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe RIP: 0033:0x7f10af854a10 ...

mm, page_owner: keep owner info when freeing the page
For debugging purposes it might be useful to keep the owner info even after page has been freed, and include it in e.g. dump_page() when detecting a bad page state. For that, change the PAGE_EXT_OWNER flag meaning to "page owner info has been set at least once" and add new PAGE_EXT_OWNER_ACTIVE for tracking whether page is supposed to be currently tracked allocated or free. Adjust dump_page() accordingly, distinguishing free and allocated pages. In the page_owner debugfs file, keep printing only allocated pages so that existing scripts are not confused, and also because free pages are irrelevant for the memory statistics or leak detection that's the typical use case of the file, anyway.

mm, page_owner: record page owner for each subpage
Patch series "debug_pagealloc improvements through page_owner", v2. The debug_pagealloc functionality serves a similar purpose on the page allocator level that slub_debug does on the kmalloc level, which is to detect bad users. One notable feature that slub_debug has is storing stack traces of who last allocated and freed the object. On page level we track allocations via page_owner, but that info is discarded when freeing, and we don't track freeing at all. This series improves those aspects. With both debug_pagealloc and page_owner enabled, we can then get bug reports such as the example in Patch 4. SLUB debug tracking additionally stores cpu, pid and timestamp. This could be added later, if deemed useful enough to justify the additional page_ext structure size. This patch (of 3): Currently, page owner info is only recorded for the first page of a high-order allocation, and copied to tail pages in the event of a split page. With the plan to keep previous owner info after freeing the page, it would be benefical to record page owner for each subpage upon allocation. This increases the overhead for high orders, but that should be acceptable for a debugging option. The order stored for each subpage is the order of the whole allocation. This makes it possible to calculate the "head" pfn and to recognize "tail" pages (quoted because not all high-order allocations are compound pages with true head and tail pages). When reading the page_owner debugfs file, keep skipping the "tail" pages so that stats gathered by existing scripts don't get inflated.
