mm/migrate: Add folio_migrate_flags()

2021-10-18T11:49:39Z

Turn migrate_page_states() into a wrapper around folio_migrate_flags(). Also convert two functions only called from folio_migrate_flags() to be folio-based. ksm_migrate_page() becomes folio_migrate_ksm() and copy_page_owner() becomes folio_copy_owner(). folio_migrate_flags() alone shrinks by two thirds -- 1967 bytes down to 642 bytes.

2021-09-27T13:27:31Z

Convert all callers of mem_cgroup_charge() to call page_folio() on the page they're currently passing in. Many of them will be converted to use folios themselves soon. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: David Howells Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka

mm/ksm: use vma_lookup() in find_mergeable_vma()

Use vma_lookup() to find the VMA at a specific address. As vma_lookup() will return NULL if the address is not within any VMA, the start address no longer needs to be validated.

drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good

2021-05-07T07:26:34Z

Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good". Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem. Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be able to deal with things like a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem) -> kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient. b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched -> mem_pfn_is_ram() Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might fault/crash the machine. Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1], after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion. CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by mistake?). All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from 15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well. 1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of /dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.". RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching" 2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned pages, though) 3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot yourself into the foot. 4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes, /proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older kernels can be used. 5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there. Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's just remove it.

ksm: fix potential missing rmap_item for stable_node

2021-05-05T18:27:25Z

When removing rmap_item from stable tree, STABLE_FLAG of rmap_item is cleared with head reserved. So the following scenario might happen: For ksm page with rmap_item1: cmp_and_merge_page stable_node->head = &migrate_nodes; remove_rmap_item_from_tree, but head still equal to stable_node; try_to_merge_with_ksm_page failed; return; For the same ksm page with rmap_item2, stable node migration succeed this time. The stable_node->head does not equal to migrate_nodes now. For ksm page with rmap_item1 again: cmp_and_merge_page stable_node->head != &migrate_nodes && rmap_item->head == stable_node return; We would miss the rmap_item for stable_node and might result in failed rmap_walk_ksm(). Fix this by set rmap_item->head to NULL when rmap_item is removed from stable tree.
