Since commit 42e4089c78 ("x86/speculation/l1tf: Disallow non privileged
high MMIO PROT_NONE mappings"), when the first pfn modify is not allowed,
we would break the loop with pte unchanged. Then the wrong pte - 1 would
be passed to pte_unmap_unlock.
Andi said:
"While the fix is correct, I'm not sure if it actually is a real bug.
Is there any architecture that would do something else than unlocking
the underlying page? If it's just the underlying page then it should
be always the same page, so no bug"

When pages are swapped in, the VM may retain the swap copy to avoid
repeated writes in the future. It's also retained if shared pages are
faulted back in some processes, but not in others. During that time we
have an in-memory copy of the page, as well as an on-swap copy. Cgroup1
and cgroup2 handle these overlapping lifetimes slightly differently due to
the nature of how they account memory and swap:
Cgroup1 has a unified memory+swap counter that tracks a data page
regardless whether it's in-core or swapped out. On swapin, we transfer
the charge from the swap entry to the newly allocated swapcache page, even
though the swap entry might stick around for a while. That's why we have
a mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap() call inside mem_cgroup_charge().
Cgroup2 tracks memory and swap as separate, independent resources and thus
has split memory and swap counters. On swapin, we charge the newly
allocated swapcache page as memory, while the swap slot in turn must
remain charged to the swap counter as long as its allocated too.
The cgroup2 logic was broken by commit 2d1c498072 ("mm: memcontrol: make
swap tracking an integral part of memory control"), because it
accidentally removed the do_memsw_account() check in the branch inside
mem_cgroup_uncharge() that was supposed to tell the difference between the
charge transfer in cgroup1 and the separate counters in cgroup2.
As a result, cgroup2 currently undercounts retained swap to varying
degrees: swap slots are cached up to 50% of the configured limit or total
available swap space; partially faulted back shared pages are only limited
by physical capacity. This in turn allows cgroups to significantly
overconsume their alloted swap space.
Add the do_memsw_account() check back to fix this problem.

alloc_page_buffers() currently uses get_mem_cgroup_from_page() for
charging the buffers to the page owner, which does an rcu-protected
page->memcg lookup and acquires a reference. But buffer allocation has
the page lock held throughout, which pins the page to the memcg and
thereby the memcg - neither rcu nor holding an extra reference during the
allocation are necessary. Use a raw page_memcg() instead.
This was the last user of get_mem_cgroup_from_page(), delete it.

This patch adds swapcache stat for the cgroup v2. The swapcache
represents the memory that is accounted against both the memory and the
swap limit of the cgroup. The main motivation behind exposing the
swapcache stat is for enabling users to gracefully migrate from cgroup
v1's memsw counter to cgroup v2's memory and swap counters.
Cgroup v1's memsw limit allows users to limit the memory+swap usage of a
workload but without control on the exact proportion of memory and swap.
Cgroup v2 provides separate limits for memory and swap which enables more
control on the exact usage of memory and swap individually for the
workload.
With some little subtleties, the v1's memsw limit can be switched with the
sum of the v2's memory and swap limits. However the alternative for memsw
usage is not yet available in cgroup v2. Exposing per-cgroup swapcache
stat enables that alternative. Adding the memory usage and swap usage and
subtracting the swapcache will approximate the memsw usage. This will
help in the transparent migration of the workloads depending on memsw
usage and limit to v2' memory and swap counters.
The reasons these applications are still interested in this approximate
memsw usage are: (1) these applications are not really interested in two
separate memory and swap usage metrics. A single usage metric is more
simple to use and reason about for them.
(2) The memsw usage metric hides the underlying system's swap setup from
the applications. Applications with multiple instances running in a
datacenter with heterogeneous systems (some have swap and some don't) will
keep seeing a consistent view of their usage.

Patch series "Convert all THP vmstat counters to pages", v6.
This patch series is aimed to convert all THP vmstat counters to pages.
The unit of some vmstat counters are pages, some are bytes, some are
HPAGE_PMD_NR, and some are KiB. When we want to expose these vmstat
counters to the userspace, we have to know the unit of the vmstat counters
is which one. When the unit is bytes or kB, both clearly distinguishable
by the B/KB suffix. But for the THP vmstat counters, we may make mistakes.
For example, the below is some bug fix for the THP vmstat counters:
- 7de2e9f195 ("mm: memcontrol: correct the NR_ANON_THPS counter of hierarchical memcg")
- The first commit in this series ("fix NR_ANON_THPS accounting in charge moving")
This patch series can make the code clear. And make all the unit of the THP
vmstat counters in pages. Finally, the unit of the vmstat counters are
pages, kB and bytes. The B/KB suffix can tell us that the unit is bytes
or kB. The rest which is without suffix are pages.
In this series, I changed the following vmstat counters unit from HPAGE_PMD_NR
to pages. However, there is no change to the print format of output to user
space.
- NR_ANON_THPS
- NR_FILE_THPS
- NR_SHMEM_THPS
- NR_SHMEM_PMDMAPPED
- NR_FILE_PMDMAPPED
Doing this also can make the statistics more accuracy for the THP vmstat
counters. This series is consistent with 8f182270df ("mm/swap.c: flush lru
pvecs on compound page arrival").
Because we use struct per_cpu_nodestat to cache the vmstat counters, which
leads to inaccurate statistics especially THP vmstat counters. In the systems
with hundreds of processors it can be GBs of memory. For example, for a 96
CPUs system, the threshold is the maximum number of 125. And the per cpu
counters can cache 23.4375 GB in total.
The THP page is already a form of batched addition (it will add 512 worth of
memory in one go) so skipping the batching seems like sensible. Although every
THP stats update overflows the per-cpu counter, resorting to atomic global
updates. But it can make the statistics more accuracy for the THP vmstat
counters. From this point of view, I think that do this converting is
reasonable.
Thanks Hugh for mentioning this. This was inspired by Johannes and Roman.
Thanks to them.
This patch (of 7):
The unit of NR_ANON_THPS is HPAGE_PMD_NR already. So it should inc/dec by
one rather than nr_pages.

In general it's unknown in advance if a slab page will contain accounted
objects or not. In order to avoid memory waste, an obj_cgroup vector is
allocated dynamically when a need to account of a new object arises. Such
approach is memory efficient, but requires an expensive cmpxchg() to set
up the memcg/objcgs pointer, because an allocation can race with a
different allocation on another cpu.
But in some common cases it's known for sure that a slab page will contain
accounted objects: if the page belongs to a slab cache with a SLAB_ACCOUNT
flag set. It includes such popular objects like vm_area_struct, anon_vma,
task_struct, etc.
In such cases we can pre-allocate the objcgs vector and simple assign it
to the page without any atomic operations, because at this early stage the
page is not visible to anyone else.
A very simplistic benchmark (allocating 10000000 64-bytes objects in a
row) shows ~15% win. In the real life it seems that most workloads are
not very sensitive to the speed of (accounted) slab allocations.

We are capable of SetPageWorkingset based on refault distances after
commit aae466b005 ("mm/swap: implement workingset detection for
anonymous LRU"). This is done by workingset_refault(), which is right
above the unconditional SetPageWorkingset deleted by this patch.
The unconditional SetPageWorkingset miscategorizes pages that are read
ahead or never belonged to the working set (e.g., tmpfs pages accessed
only once by fd). When those pages are swapped in (after they were
swapped out) for the first time, they skew PSI (when using async swap).
When this happens again, depending on their refault distances, they might
skew workingset_restore_anon counter in addition to PSI because their
shadows indicate they were part of the working set.
Historically, SetPageWorkingset was added as part of the PSI series, and
Johannes said:
"It was meant to mark incoming pages under IO with SetPageWorkingset
when waiting for them constituted a memory stall.
On the page cache side, because we HAVE workingset detection, this was
specific to recently evicted pages that had been active in their
previous life. On the anon side, the aging algorithm had no
distinction between workingset and sporadically used pages. Given the
choice between a) no swapin stalls are pressure and b) all swapin
stalls are pressure, I went with the latter in order to detect swap
storms. The false positive case - high rate of swapin without severe
memory pressure - was relatively unlikely, because we tried to avoid
swapping until everything was completely on fire in the first place."

For page splitting to succeed, the thread asking to split the page has to
be the only one with a reference to the page. Calling
wait_on_page_locked() while holding a reference to the page will
effectively prevent this from happening with sufficient threads waiting on
the same page. Use put_and_wait_on_page_locked() to sleep without holding
a reference to the page, then retry the page lookup after the page is
unlocked.
Since we now get the page lock a little earlier in filemap_update_page(),
we can eliminate a number of duplicate checks. The original intent
(commit ebded02788 ("avoid unnecessary calls to lock_page when waiting
for IO to complete during a read")) behind getting the page lock later was
to avoid re-locking the page after it has been brought uptodate by another
thread. We still avoid that because we go through the normal lookup path
again after the winning thread has brought the page uptodate.
