On Android app cycle workloads, MGLRU showed a significant reduction in
workingset refaults although pgpgin/pswpin remained relatively unchanged.
This indicated MGLRU may be undercounting workingset refaults.
This has impact on userspace programs, like Android's LMKD, that monitor
workingset refault statistics to detect thrashing.
It was found that refaults were only accounted if the MGLRU shadow entry
was for a recently evicted folio. However, recently evicted folios should
be accounted as workingset activation, and refaults should be accounted
regardless of recency.
Fix MGLRU's workingset refault and activation accounting to more closely
match that of the conventional active/inactive LRU.

This patch is similar to commit 8e20d4b332 ("mm/memcontrol: export
memcg->watermark via sysfs for v2 memcg"), but exports the swap counter's
watermark.
We allocate jobs to our compute farm using heuristics determined by memory
and swap usage from previous jobs. Tracking the peak swap usage for new
jobs is important for determining when jobs are exceeding their expected
bounds, or when our baseline metrics are getting outdated.
Our toolset was written to use the "memory.memsw.max_usage_in_bytes" file
in cgroups v1, and altering it to poll cgroups v2's "memory.swap.current"
would give less accurate results as well as add complication to the code.
Having this watermark exposed in sysfs is much preferred.

In fast_isolate_around(), it assumes the pageblock is fully scanned if
cc->nr_freepages < cc->nr_migratepages after trying to isolate some free
pages, and will set skip flag to avoid scanning in future. However this
can miss setting the skip flag for a fully scanned pageblock (returned
'start_pfn' is equal to 'end_pfn') in the case where cc->nr_freepages is
larger than cc->nr_migratepages.
So using the returned 'start_pfn' from isolate_freepages_block() and
'end_pfn' to decide if a pageblock is fully scanned makes more sense. It
can also cover the case where cc->nr_freepages < cc->nr_migratepages,
which means the 'start_pfn' is usually equal to 'end_pfn' except some
uncommon fatal error occurs after non-strict mode isolation.

Purging fragmented blocks is done unconditionally in several contexts:
1) From drain_vmap_area_work(), when the number of lazy to be freed
vmap_areas reached the threshold
2) Reclaiming vmalloc address space from pcpu_get_vm_areas()
3) _vm_unmap_aliases()
#1 There is no reason to zap fragmented vmap blocks unconditionally, simply
because reclaiming all lazy areas drains at least
32MB * fls(num_online_cpus())
per invocation which is plenty.
#2 Reclaiming when running out of space or due to memory pressure makes a
lot of sense
#3 _unmap_aliases() requires to touch everything because the caller has no
clue which vmap_area used a particular page last and the vmap_area lost
that information too.
Except for the vfree + VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS case, which removes the
vmap area first and then cares about the flush. That in turn requires
a full walk of _all_ vmap areas including the one which was just
added to the purge list.
But as this has to be flushed anyway this is an opportunity to combine
outstanding TLB flushes and do the housekeeping of purging freed areas,
but like #1 there is no real good reason to zap usable vmap blocks
unconditionally.
Add a @force_purge argument to the newly split out block purge function and
if not true only purge fragmented blocks which have less than 1/4 of their
capacity left.
Rename purge_vmap_area_lazy() to reclaim_and_purge_vmap_areas() to make it
clear what the function does.

vmap blocks which have active mappings cannot be purged. Allocations
which have been freed are accounted for in vmap_block::dirty_min/max, so
that they can be detected in _vm_unmap_aliases() as potentially stale
TLBs.
If there are several invocations of _vm_unmap_aliases() then each of them
will flush the dirty range. That's pointless and just increases the
probability of full TLB flushes.
Avoid that by resetting the flush range after accounting for it. That's
safe versus other invocations of _vm_unmap_aliases() because this is all
serialized with vmap_purge_lock.

_vunmap_aliases() walks the per CPU xarrays to find partially unmapped
blocks and then walks the per cpu free lists to purge fragmented blocks.
Arguably that's waste of CPU cycles and cache lines as the full xarray
walk already touches every block.
Avoid this double iteration:
- Split out the code to purge one block and the code to free the local
purge list into helper functions.
- Try to purge the fragmented blocks in the xarray walk before looking at
their dirty space.

Patch series "mm/vmalloc: Assorted fixes and improvements", v2.
this series addresses the following issues:
1) Prevent the stale TLB problem related to fully utilized vmap blocks
2) Avoid the double per CPU list walk in _vm_unmap_aliases()
3) Avoid flushing dirty space over and over
4) Add a lockless quickcheck in vb_alloc() and add missing
READ/WRITE_ONCE() annotations
5) Prevent overeager purging of usable vmap_blocks if
not under memory/address space pressure.
This patch (of 6):
_vm_unmap_aliases() is used to ensure that no unflushed TLB entries for a
page are left in the system. This is required due to the lazy TLB flush
mechanism in vmalloc.
This is tried to achieve by walking the per CPU free lists, but those do
not contain fully utilized vmap blocks because they are removed from the
free list once the blocks free space became zero.
When the block is not fully unmapped then it is not on the purge list
either.
So neither the per CPU list iteration nor the purge list walk find the
block and if the page was mapped via such a block and the TLB has not yet
been flushed, the guarantee of _vm_unmap_aliases() that there are no stale
TLBs after returning is broken:
x = vb_alloc() // Removes vmap_block from free list because vb->free became 0
vb_free(x) // Unmaps page and marks in dirty_min/max range
// Block has still mappings and is not put on purge list
// Page is reused
vm_unmap_aliases() // Can't find vmap block with the dirty space -> FAIL
So instead of walking the per CPU free lists, walk the per CPU xarrays
which hold pointers to _all_ active blocks in the system including those
removed from the free lists.

In all but one instance, mlock_future_check() is treated as a boolean
function despite returning an error code. In one instance, this error
code is ignored and replaced with -ENOMEM.
This is confusing, and the inversion of true -> failure, false -> success
is not warranted. Convert the function to a bool, lightly refactor and
return true if the check passes, false if not.

Let's add a new test for checking whether GUP long-term page pinning works
as expected (R/O vs. R/W, MAP_PRIVATE vs. MAP_SHARED, GUP vs.
GUP-fast). Note that COW handling with long-term R/O pinning in private
mappings, and pinning of anonymous memory in general, is tested by the COW
selftest. This test, therefore, focuses on page pinning in file mappings.
The most interesting case is probably the "local tmpfile" case, as that
will likely end up on a "real" filesystem such as ext4 or xfs, not on a
virtual one like tmpfs or hugetlb where any long-term page pinning is
always expected to succeed.
For now, only add tests that use the "/sys/kernel/debug/gup_test"
interface. We'll add tests based on liburing separately next.

Patch series "selftests/mm: new test for FOLL_LONGTERM on file mappings".
Let's add some selftests to make sure that:
* R/O long-term pinning always works of file mappings
* R/W long-term pinning always works in MAP_PRIVATE file mappings
* R/W long-term pinning only works in MAP_SHARED mappings with special
filesystems (shmem, hugetlb) and fails with other filesystems (ext4, btrfs,
xfs).
The tests make use of the gup_test kernel module to trigger ordinary GUP
and GUP-fast, and liburing (similar to our COW selftests). Test with
memfd, memfd hugetlb, tmpfile() and mkstemp(). The latter usually gives
us a "real" filesystem (ext4, btrfs, xfs) where long-term pinning is
expected to fail.
Note that these selftests don't contain any actual reproducers for data
corruptions in case R/W long-term pinning on problematic filesystems
"would" work.
Maybe we can later come up with a racy !FOLL_LONGTERM reproducer that can
reuse an existing interface to trigger short-term pinning (I'll look into
that next).

During stress testing with higher-order allocations, a deadlock scenario
was observed in compaction: One GFP_NOFS allocation was sleeping on
mm/compaction.c::too_many_isolated(), while all CPUs in the system were
busy with compactors spinning on buffer locks held by the sleeping
GFP_NOFS allocation.
Reclaim is susceptible to this same deadlock; we fixed it by granting
GFP_NOFS allocations additional LRU isolation headroom, to ensure it makes
forward progress while holding fs locks that other reclaimers might
acquire. Do the same here.
This code has been like this since compaction was initially merged, and I
only managed to trigger this with out-of-tree patches that dramatically
increase the contexts that do GFP_NOFS compaction. While the issue is
real, it seems theoretical in nature given existing allocation sites.
Worth fixing now, but no Fixes tag or stable CC.
