The aim is to simplify and making the vm_area_alloc_pages()
function less confusing as it became more clogged nowadays:
- eliminate a "bulk_gfp" variable and do not overwrite a gfp
flag for bulk allocator;
- drop __GFP_NOFAIL flag for high-order-page requests on upper
layer. It becomes less spread between levels when it comes to
__GFP_NOFAIL allocations;
- add a comment about a fallback path if high-order attempt is
unsuccessful because for such cases __GFP_NOFAIL is dropped;
- fix a typo in a commit message.

In commit 714965ca82 ("mm/mmap: start distinguishing if vma can be
removed in mergeability test") we relaxed the VMA merge rules for VMAs
possessing a vm_ops->close() hook, permitting this operation in instances
where we wouldn't delete the VMA as part of the merge operation.
This was later corrected in commit fc0c8f9089 ("mm, mmap: fix
vma_merge() case 7 with vma_ops->close") to account for a subtle case that
the previous commit had not taken into account.
In both instances, we first rely on is_mergeable_vma() to determine
whether we might be dealing with a VMA that might be removed, taking
advantage of the fact that a 'previous' VMA will never be deleted, only
VMAs that follow it.
The second patch corrects the instance where a merge of the previous VMA
into a subsequent one did not correctly check whether the subsequent VMA
had a vm_ops->close() handler.
Both changes prevent merge cases that are actually permissible (for
instance a merge of a VMA into a following VMA with a vm_ops->close(), but
with no previous VMA, which would result in the next VMA being extended,
not deleted).
In addition, both changes fail to consider the case where a VMA that would
otherwise be merged with the previous and next VMA might have
vm_ops->close(), on the assumption that for this to be the case, all three
would have to have the same vma->vm_file to be mergeable and thus the same
vm_ops.
And in addition both changes operate at 50,000 feet, trying to guess
whether a VMA will be deleted.
As we have majorly refactored the VMA merge operation and de-duplicated
code to the point where we know precisely where deletions will occur, this
patch removes the aforementioned checks altogether and instead explicitly
checks whether a VMA will be deleted.
In cases where a reduced merge is still possible (where we merge both
previous and next VMA but the next VMA has a vm_ops->close hook, meaning
we could just merge the previous and current VMA), we do so, otherwise the
merge is not permitted.
We take advantage of our userland testing to assert that this functions
correctly - replacing the previous limited vm_ops->close() tests with
tests for every single case where we delete a VMA.
We also update all testing for both new and modified VMAs to set
vma->vm_ops->close() in every single instance where this would not prevent
the merge, to assert that we never do so.

Abstract vma_merge_new_vma() to use vma_merge_struct and rename the
resultant function vma_merge_new_range() to be clear what the purpose of
this function is - a new VMA is desired in the specified range, and we
wish to see if it is possible to 'merge' surrounding VMAs into this range
rather than having to allocate a new VMA.
Note that this function uses vma_extend() exclusively, so adopts its
requirement that the iterator point at or before the gap. We add an
assert to this effect.
This is as opposed to vma_merge_existing_range(), which will be introduced
in a subsequent commit, and provide the same functionality for cases in
which we are modifying an existing VMA.
In mmap_region() and do_brk_flags() we open code scenarios where we prefer
to use vma_expand() rather than invoke a full vma_merge() operation.
Abstract this logic and eliminate all of the open-coding, and also use the
same logic for all cases where we add new VMAs to, rather than ultimately
use vma_merge(), rather use vma_expand().
Doing so removes duplication and simplifies VMA merging in all such cases,
laying the ground for us to eliminate the merging of new VMAs in
vma_merge() altogether.
Also add the ability for the vmg to track state, and able to report
errors, allowing for us to differentiate a failed merge from an inability
to allocate memory in callers.
This makes it far easier to understand what is happening in these cases
avoiding confusion, bugs and allowing for future optimisation.
Also introduce vma_iter_next_rewind() to allow for retrieval of the next,
and (optionally) the prev VMA, rewinding to the start of the previous gap.
Introduce are_anon_vmas_compatible() to abstract individual VMA anon_vma
comparison for the case of merging on both sides where the anon_vma of the
VMA being merged maybe compatible with prev and next, but prev and next's
anon_vma's may not be compatible with each other.
Finally also introduce can_vma_merge_left() / can_vma_merge_right() to
check adjacent VMA compatibility and that they are indeed adjacent.

Both can_vma_merge_before() and can_vma_merge_after() are invoked after
checking for compatible VMA NUMA policy, we can simply move this to
is_mergeable_vma() and abstract this altogether.
In mmap_region() we set vmg->policy to NULL, so the policy comparisons
checked in can_vma_merge_before() and can_vma_merge_after() are exactly
equivalent to !vma_policy(vmg.next) and !vma_policy(vmg.prev).
Equally, in do_brk_flags(), vmg->policy is NULL, so the
can_vma_merge_after() is checking !vma_policy(vma), as we set vmg.prev to
vma.
In vma_merge(), we compare prev and next policies with vmg->policy before
checking can_vma_merge_after() and can_vma_merge_before() respectively,
which this patch causes to be checked in precisely the same way.
This therefore maintains precisely the same logic as before, only now
abstracted into is_mergeable_vma().

Rather than passing around huge numbers of parameters to numerous helper
functions, abstract them into a single struct that we thread through the
operation, the vma_merge_struct ('vmg').
Adjust vma_merge() and vma_modify() to accept this parameter, as well as
predicate functions can_vma_merge_before(), can_vma_merge_after(), and the
vma_modify_...() helper functions.
Also introduce VMG_STATE() and VMG_VMA_STATE() helper macros to allow for
easy vmg declaration.
We additionally remove the requirement that vma_merge() is passed a VMA
object representing the candidate new VMA. Previously it used this to
obtain the mm_struct, file and anon_vma properties of the proposed range
(a rather confusing state of affairs), which are now provided by the vmg
directly.
We also remove the pgoff calculation previously performed vma_modify(),
and instead calculate this in VMG_VMA_STATE() via the vma_pgoff_offset()
helper.

Patch series "mm: remove vma_merge()", v3.
The infamous vma_merge() function has been the cause of a great deal of
pain, bugs and confusion for a very long time.
It is subtle, contains many corner cases, tries to do far too much and is
as a result very fragile.
The fact that the function requires there to be a numbering system to
cover each possible eventuality with references to each in the many
branches of its implementation as to which case you are looking at speaks
to all this.
Some of this complexity is inherent - unfortunately there is no getting
away from the need to figure out precisely how to execute the merge,
whether we need to remove VMAs, whether it is safe to do so, what
constitutes a mergeable VMA and so on.
However, a lot of the complexity is not inherent but instead a product of
the function's 'organic' development.
Liam has gone to great lengths to improve the situation as a part of his
maple tree implementation, greatly improving the readability of the code,
and Vlastimil and myself have additionally gone to lengths to try to
improve things further.
However, with the availability of userland VMA testing, it now becomes
possible to perform a rather more significant refactoring while
maintaining confidence in its correct operation.
An attempt was previously made by Vlastimil [0] to eliminate vma_merge(),
however it was rather - brutal - and an astute reader might refer to the
date of that patch for insight as to its intent.
This series instead divides merge operations into two natural kinds -
merges which occur when a NEW vma is being added to the address space, and
merges which occur when a vma is being MODIFIED.
Happily, the vma_expand() function introduced by Liam, which has the
capacity for also deleting a subsequent VMA, covers each of the NEW vma
cases.
By abstracting the actual final commit of changes to a VMA to its own
function, commit_merge() and writing a wrapper around vma_expand() for new
VMA cases vma_merge_new_range(), we can avoid having to use vma_merge()
for these instances altogether.
By doing so we are also able to then de-duplicate all existing merge logic
in mmap_region() and do_brk_flags() and have everything invoke this new
function, so we universally take the same approach to merging new VMAs.
Having done so, we can then completely rework vma_merge() into
vma_merge_existing_range() and use this for the instances where a merge is
proposed for a region of an existing VMA.
This eliminates vma_merge() and its numbered cases and instead divides
things into logical cases - merge both, merge left, merge right (the
latter 2 being either partial or full merges).
The code is heavily annotated with ASCII diagrams and greatly simplified
in comparison to the existing vma_merge() function.
Having made this change, we take the opportunity to address an issue with
merging VMAs possessing a vm_ops->close() hook - commit 714965ca82
("mm/mmap: start distinguishing if vma can be removed in mergeability
test") and commit fc0c8f9089 ("mm, mmap: fix vma_merge() case 7 with
vma_ops->close") make efforts to relax how we handle these, making
assumptions about which VMAs might end up deleted (and thus, if possessing
a vm_ops->close() hook, cannot be).
This refactor means we do not need to guess, so instead explicitly only
disallow merge in instances where a VMA with a vm_ops->close() hook would
be deleted (and try a smaller merge in cases where this is possible).
In addition to these changes, we introduce a new vma_merge_struct
abstraction to allow VMA merge state to be threaded through the operation
neatly.
There is heavy unit testing provided for all merge functionality, added
prior to the refactoring, allowing for before/after testing.
The vm_ops->close() change also introduces exhaustive testing to
demonstrate that this functions as expected, and in addition to this the
reproduction code from commit fc0c8f9089 ("mm, mmap: fix vma_merge()
case 7 with vma_ops->close") was tested and confirmed passing.

This patch (of 10):
Have vma.o depend on its source dependencies explicitly, as previously
these were simply being ignored as existing object files were up to date.
This now correctly re-triggers the build if mm/ source is changed as well
as local source code.
Also set clean as a phony rule.

Instead of zeroing the vma tree and then overwriting the area, let the
area be overwritten and then clean up the gathered vmas using
vms_complete_munmap_vmas().
To ensure locking is downgraded correctly, the mm is set regardless of
MAP_FIXED or not (NULL vma).
If a driver is mapping over an existing vma, then clear the ptes before
the call_mmap() invocation. This is done using the vms_clean_up_area()
helper. If there is a close vm_ops, that must also be called to ensure
any cleanup is done before mapping over the area. This also means that
calling open has been added to the abort of an unmap operation, for now.
Since vm_ops->open() and vm_ops->close() are not always undo each other
(state cleanup may exist in ->close() that is lost forever), the code
cannot be left in this way, but that change has been isolated to another
commit to make this point very obvious for traceability.
Temporarily keep track of the number of pages that will be removed and
reduce the charged amount.
This also drops the validate_mm() call in the vma_expand() function. It
is necessary to drop the validate as it would fail since the mm map_count
would be incorrect during a vma expansion, prior to the cleanup from
vms_complete_munmap_vmas().
Clean up the error handing of the vms_gather_munmap_vmas() by calling the
verification within the function.

Patch series "Avoid MAP_FIXED gap exposure", v8.
It is now possible to walk the vma tree using the rcu read locks and is
beneficial to do so to reduce lock contention. Doing so while a MAP_FIXED
mapping is executing means that a reader may see a gap in the vma tree
that should never logically exist - and does not when using the mmap lock
in read mode. The temporal gap exists because mmap_region() calls
munmap() prior to installing the new mapping.
This patch set stops rcu readers from seeing the temporal gap by splitting
up the munmap() function into two parts. The first part prepares the vma
tree for modifications by doing the necessary splits and tracks the vmas
marked for removal in a side tree. The second part completes the
munmapping of the vmas after the vma tree has been overwritten (either by
a MAP_FIXED replacement vma or by a NULL in the munmap() case).
Please note that rcu walkers will still be able to see a temporary state
of split vmas that may be in the process of being removed, but the
temporal gap will not be exposed. vma_start_write() are called on both
parts of the split vma, so this state is detectable.
If existing vmas have a vm_ops->close(), then they will be called prior to
mapping the new vmas (and ptes are cleared out). Without calling
->close(), hugetlbfs tests fail (hugemmap06 specifically) due to resources
still being marked as 'busy'. Unfortunately, calling the corresponding
->open() may not restore the state of the vmas, so it is safer to keep the
existing failure scenario where a gap is inserted and never replaced. The
failure scenario is in its own patch (0015) for traceability.
This patch (of 21):
The vma iterator may be left pointing to the newly created vma. This
happens when inserting the new vma at the end of the old vma (!new_below).
The incorrect position in the vma iterator is not exposed currently since
the vma iterator is repositioned in the munmap path and is not reused in
any of the other paths.
This has limited impact in the current code, but is required for future
changes.

Patch series "mm: store zero pages to be swapped out in a bitmap", v8.
As shown in the patch series that introduced the zswap same-filled
optimization [1], 10-20% of the pages stored in zswap are same-filled.
This is also observed across Meta's server fleet. By using VM counters in
swap_writepage (not included in this patchseries) it was found that less
than 1% of the same-filled pages to be swapped out are non-zero pages.
For conventional swap setup (without zswap), rather than reading/writing
these pages to flash resulting in increased I/O and flash wear, a bitmap
can be used to mark these pages as zero at write time, and the pages can
be filled at read time if the bit corresponding to the page is set.
When using zswap with swap, this also means that a zswap_entry does not
need to be allocated for zero filled pages resulting in memory savings
which would offset the memory used for the bitmap.
A similar attempt was made earlier in [2] where zswap would only track
zero-filled pages instead of same-filled. This patchseries adds
zero-filled pages optimization to swap (hence it can be used even if zswap
is disabled) and removes the same-filled code from zswap (as only 1% of
the same-filled pages are non-zero), simplifying code.

We've been noticing a trend of significant lock contention in the swap
subsystem as core counts have been increasing in our fleet. It turns out
that our swapfiles on btrfs on flash were in fact using the old swap code
for rotational storage.
This turns out to be a detection issue in the swapon sequence: btrfs sets
si->bdev during swap activation, which currently happens *after* swapon's
SSD detection and cluster setup. Thus, none of the SSD optimizations and
cluster lock splitting are enabled for btrfs swap.
Rearrange the swapon sequence so that filesystem activation happens
*before* determining swap behavior based on the backing device.
Afterwards, the nonrotational drive is detected correctly:

Both cases are issues in the test.
While the unmount error seems to be racy, it will make the test fail:
$ ./run_vmtests.sh -t hugetlb

The issue is that we are not waiting for the write_to_hugetlbfs process to
quit. So it might still have a hugetlbfs file open, about which umount is
not happy. Fix that by making "killall" wait for the process to quit.
The other error ("Detach failure: Invalid argument") does not seem to
result in a test error, but is misleading. Turns out write_to_hugetlbfs.c
unconditionally tries to cleanup using shmdt(), even when we only
mmap()'ed a hugetlb file. Even worse, shmaddr is never even set for the
SHM case. Fix that as well.
With this change it seems to work as expected.

This flag has similar constraints to PG_owner_priv_1 -- it is ignored by
core code, and is entirely for the use of the code which allocated the
folio. Since the pagecache does not use it, individual filesystems can
use it. The bufferhead code does use it, so filesystems which use the
buffer cache must not use it for another purpose.

Patch series "Simplify the page flags a little".
In the course of our folio conversions, we have made many page flags only
used on folios, so we can now remove the page-based accessors. This
should cut down compile time a little, and prevent new users from cropping
up.
There is more that could be done in this area, but it would produce merge
conflicts, so I'll sit on those patches until next merge window. We now
have line of sight to removing PG_private_2 and PG_private.
This patch (of 10):
This flag is now only used on folios, so we can remove all the page
accessors.
