Reading the debugfs "count" file of a memcg-aware shrinker can sleep
inside an RCU read-side critical section:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/cgroup/rstat.c:421
RCU nest depth: 1, expected: 0
css_rstat_flush
mem_cgroup_flush_stats
zswap_shrinker_count
shrinker_debugfs_count_show
shrinker_debugfs_count_show() invokes the ->count_objects() callback under
rcu_read_lock(). The zswap callback flushes memcg stats via
css_rstat_flush(), which may sleep, so it must not run under RCU.
The RCU lock is not needed here. mem_cgroup_iter() takes RCU internally
and returns a memcg holding a css reference (dropped on the next iteration
or by mem_cgroup_iter_break()), so the memcg stays alive without it. The
shrinker is kept alive by the open debugfs file: shrinker_free() removes
the debugfs entries via debugfs_remove_recursive(), which waits for
in-flight readers to drain, before call_rcu(..., shrinker_free_rcu_cb).
The sibling "scan" handler already invokes the sleeping ->scan_objects()
callback with no RCU section.
Drop the rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock().

madvise_collapse() computes the THP-aligned window:
hstart = ALIGN(start, HPAGE_PMD_SIZE); /* round up */
hend = ALIGN_DOWN(end, HPAGE_PMD_SIZE); /* round down */
The following case will cause hstart > hend, and result in underflow in
the return statement, avoid it by returning zero early when hstart > hend.
The return value is due to input is valid to madvise(), and there is
nothing to collapse.
madvise(PMD-aligned + PAGE_SIZE, PAGE_SIZE, MADV_COLLAPSE);
In addition, kmalloc_obj(), mmgrab() and lru_add_drain_all() are
unnecessary when hstart == hend, so skip these operations by returning
early too.

collapse_file() is capable of collapsing pagecache folios from writable
files to PMD folios. Now enable clean pagecache folio collapse in
addition to read-only pagecache folio collapse by removing the
inode_is_open_for_write() from file_thp_enabled() and only performing
filemap_flush() if the file is read-only.
This means userspace needs to explicitly flush the content of pagecache
folios before khugepaged can collapse the folios, or use
madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE), which does the flush in the retry. The reason is
that blindly enabling dirty pagecache folio from writable files collapse
makes khugepaged flush these folios all the time. It is undesirable to
cause system level pagecache flushes.
To properly support dirty pagecache folio collapse, filemap_flush() needs
to be avoided. Potentially, merging associated buffer instead of dropping
it with filemap_release_folio() might be needed.
NOTE: this breaks khugepaged selftests for writable file pagecache
collapse, which is set to fail all the time. The next commit fixes it.

After READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS is removed, FS either supports large folio or
not. folio_split() can be used on a FS with large folio support without
worrying about getting a THP on a FS without large folio support.
When READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS was present, a PMD large pagecache folio can
appear in a FS without large folio support after khugepaged or
madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) creates it. During truncate_inode_partial_folio(),
such a PMD large pagecache folio is split and if the FS does not support
large folio, it needs to be split to order-0 ones and could not be split
non uniformly to ones with various orders. try_folio_split_to_order() was
added to handle this situation by checking folio_check_splittable(...,
SPLIT_TYPE_NON_UNIFORM) to detect if the large folio is created due to
READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS and the FS does not support large folio. Now
READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS is removed, all large pagecache folios are created
with FSes supporting large folio, this function is no longer needed and
all large pagecache folios can be split non uniformly.

They are used by READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS to handle writes to FSes without
large folio support, so that read-only THPs created in these FSes are not
seen by the FSes when the underlying fd becomes writable. Now read-only
PMD THPs only appear in a FS with large folio support and the supported
orders include PMD_ORDER.
READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS was using mapping->nr_thps, inode->i_writecount, and
smp_mb() to prevent writes to a read-only THP and collapsing writable
folios into a THP. In collapse_file(), mapping->nr_thps is increased,
then smp_mb(), and if inode->i_writecount > 0, collapse is stopped, while
do_dentry_open() first increases inode->i_writecount, then a full memory
fence, and if mapping->nr_thps > 0, all read-only THPs are truncated.
Now this mechanism can be removed along with READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS code,
since a dirty folio check has been added after try_to_unmap() in
collapse_file() to prevent dirty folios from being collapsed as clean.

After removing READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS check in file_thp_enabled(),
khugepaged and MADV_COLLAPSE can run on FSes with PMD THP pagecache
support even without READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS enabled. Remove the Kconfig
first so that no one can use READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS as upcoming commits
remove mapping->nr_thps, which its safe guard mechanism relies on.

pmd-sized hugepages are enabled by the global transparent hugepage
control. khugepaged can still be enabled by per-size control for anon and
shmem when the global control is off.
Add shmem_hpage_pmd_enabled() stub for !CONFIG_SHMEM to remove
IS_ENABLED(SHMEM) in hugepage_enabled().
Clean up hugepage_enabled() by moving anon code to anon_hpage_enabled().

Replace it with a check on the max folio order of the file's address space
mapping, making sure PMD folio is supported. Keep the inode
open-for-write check, since even if collapse_file() now makes sure all
to-be-collapsed folios are clean and the created PMD file THP can be
handled by FSes properly, the filemap_flush() could perform undesirable
write back.

This check ensures the correctness of read-only PMD folio collapse after
it is enabled for all FSes supporting PMD pagecache folios and replaces
READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS.
READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS only supports read-only fd and uses mapping->nr_thps
and inode->i_writecount to prevent any write to read-only to-be-collapsed
folios. In upcoming commits, READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS will be removed and the
aforementioned mechanism will go away too. To ensure khugepaged functions
as expected after the changes, skip if any folio is dirty after
try_to_unmap(), since a dirty folio at that point means this read-only
folio can get writes between try_to_unmap() and try_to_unmap_flush() via
cached TLB entries and khugepaged does not support writable pagecache
folio collapse yet.

Patch series "Remove CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS and enable file THP for
writable files", v6.
This patch (of 14):
collapse_file() requires FSes supporting large folio with at least
PMD_ORDER, so replace the READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS check with that.
MADV_COLLAPSE ignores shmem huge config, so exclude the check for shmem.
While at it, replace VM_BUG_ON with VM_WARN_ON_ONCE.
Add a helper function mapping_pmd_folio_support() for FSes supporting
large folio with at least PMD_ORDER.

mthp_collapse() uses mthp_present_ptes to decide whether a range has
enough occupied PTEs to try collapse. Swap PTEs accepted by
collapse_scan_pmd() are counted in unmapped, but are not represented in
mthp_present_ptes.
When lower orders are enabled, collapse_scan_pmd() relaxes max_ptes_none
so the scan can cover the whole PMD and build the bitmap. mthp_collapse()
then checks the PMD-order candidate using the bitmap.
With max_ptes_none set to 0, a range with 511 present PTEs and one swap
PTE no longer reaches collapse_huge_page(), even though PMD collapse can
handle swap PTEs up to max_ptes_swap.
Account unmapped PTEs only for PMD order. PMD collapse supports swap PTEs
through max_ptes_swap, while lower-order mTHP collapse does not currently
support non-present PTEs. Keep non-present PTEs out of the lower-order
eligibility check.

If any order (m)THP is enabled we should allow running khugepaged to
attempt scanning and collapsing mTHPs. In order for khugepaged to operate
when only mTHP sizes are specified in sysfs, we must modify the predicate
function that determines whether it ought to run to do so.
This function is currently called hugepage_pmd_enabled(), this patch
renames it to hugepage_enabled() and updates the logic to check to
determine whether any valid orders may exist which would justify
khugepaged running.
We must also update collapse_possible_orders() to check all orders if the
vma is anonymous and the collapse is khugepaged.
After this patch khugepaged mTHP collapse is fully enabled.

There are cases where, if an attempted collapse fails, all subsequent
orders are guaranteed to also fail. Avoid these collapse attempts by
bailing out early.

Enable khugepaged to collapse to mTHP orders. This patch implements the
main scanning logic using a bitmap to track occupied pages and the
algorithm to find optimal collapse sizes.
Previous to this patch, PMD collapse had 3 main phases, a light weight
scanning phase (mmap_read_lock) that determines a potential PMD collapse,
an alloc phase (mmap unlocked), then finally heavier collapse phase
(mmap_write_lock).
To enabled mTHP collapse we make the following changes:
During PMD scan phase, track occupied pages in a bitmap. When mTHP orders
are enabled, we remove the restriction of max_ptes_none during the scan
phase to avoid missing potential mTHP collapse candidates. Once we have
scanned the full PMD range and updated the bitmap to track occupied pages,
we use the bitmap to find the optimal mTHP size.
Implement mthp_collapse() to walk forward through the bitmap and determine
the best eligible order for each naturally-aligned region. The algorithm
starts at the beginning of the PMD range and, for each offset, tries the
highest order that fits the alignment. If the number of occupied PTEs in
that region satisfies the max_ptes_none threshold for that order, a
collapse is attempted. On failure, the order is decremented and the same
offset is retried at the next smaller size. Once the smallest enabled
order is exhausted (or a collapse succeeds), the offset advances past the
region just processed, and the next attempt starts at the highest order
permitted by the new offset's natural alignment.
The algorithm works as follows:
1) set offset=0 and order=HPAGE_PMD_ORDER
2) if the order is not enabled, go to step (5)
3) count occupied PTEs in the (offset, order) range using
bitmap_weight_from()
4) if the count satisfies the max_ptes_none threshold, attempt
collapse; on success, advance to step (6)
5) if a smaller enabled order exists, decrement order and retry
from step (2) at the same offset
6) advance offset past the current region and compute the next
order from the new offset's natural alignment via __ffs(offset),
capped at HPAGE_PMD_ORDER
7) repeat from step (2) until the full PMD range is covered
mTHP collapses reject regions containing swapped out or shared pages.
This is because adding new entries can lead to new none pages, and these
may lead to constant promotion into a higher order mTHP. A similar issue
can occur with "max_ptes_none > HPAGE_PMD_NR/2" due to a collapse
introducing at least 2x the number of pages, and on a future scan will
satisfy the promotion condition once again. This issue is prevented via
the collapse_max_ptes_none() function which imposes the max_ptes_none
restrictions above.
We currently only support mTHP collapse for max_ptes_none values of 0 and
HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1. resulting in the following behavior:
- max_ptes_none=0: Never introduce new empty pages during collapse
- max_ptes_none=HPAGE_PMD_NR-1: Always try collapse to the highest
available mTHP order
Any other max_ptes_none value will emit a warning and default mTHP
collapse to max_ptes_none=0. There should be no behavior change for PMD
collapse.
Once we determine what mTHP sizes fits best in that PMD range a collapse
is attempted. A minimum collapse order of 2 is used as this is the lowest
order supported by anon memory as defined by THP_ORDERS_ALL_ANON.
Currently madv_collapse is not supported and will only attempt PMD
collapse.
We can also remove the check for is_khugepaged inside the PMD scan as the
collapse_max_ptes_none() function handles this logic now.

Add collapse_possible_orders() to generalize THP order eligibility. The
function determines which THP orders are permitted based on collapse
context (khugepaged vs madv_collapse). We also add collapse_possible() as
a thin wrapper around collapse_possible_orders() that returns a bool
rather than the whole bitmap.
This consolidates collapse configuration logic and provides a clean
interface for future mTHP collapse support where the orders may be
different.

Add three new mTHP statistics to track collapse failures for different
orders when encountering swap PTEs, excessive none PTEs, and shared PTEs:
- collapse_exceed_swap_pte: Increment when mTHP collapse fails due to
encountering a swap PTE.
- collapse_exceed_none_pte: Counts when mTHP collapse fails due to
exceeding the none PTE threshold for the given order
- collapse_exceed_shared_pte: Counts when mTHP collapse fails due to
encountering a shared PTE.
These statistics complement the existing THP_SCAN_EXCEED_* events by
providing per-order granularity for mTHP collapse attempts. The stats are
exposed via sysfs under
`/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-*/stats/` for each
supported hugepage size.
As we currently do not support collapsing mTHPs that contain a swap or
shared entry, those statistics keep track of how often we are encountering
failed mTHP collapses due to these restrictions.
We will add support for mTHP collapse for anonymous pages next; lets also
track when this happens at the PMD level within the per-mTHP stats.

khugepaged may try to collapse a mTHP to a folio of equal or smaller size,
possibly resulting in a partially mapped source folio, which is undesired.
Skip these cases until we have a way to check if its ok to collapse to a
smaller mTHP size (like in the case of a partially mapped folio). This
check is not done during the scan phase as the current collapse order is
unknown at that time.
This patch is inspired by Dev Jain's work on khugepaged mTHP support [1].

Pass an order to collapse_huge_page to support collapsing anon memory to
arbitrary orders within a PMD. order indicates what mTHP size we are
attempting to collapse to.
For non-PMD collapse we must leave the anon VMA write locked until after
we collapse the mTHP-- in the PMD case all the pages are isolated, but in
the mTHP case this is not true, and we must keep the lock to prevent
access/changes to the page tables. This can happen if the rmap walkers
hit a pmd_none while the PMD entry is currently unavailable due to being
temporarily removed during the collapse phase.
To properly establish the page table hierarchy without violating any
expectations from certain architectures (e.g. MIPS), we must make sure to
have the PMD reinstalled before the PTEs, and hold both PTE/PMD locks
before calling update_mmu_cache_range() (if they are distinct locks).

Currently the collapse_huge_page function requires the mmap_read_lock to
enter with it held, and exit with it dropped. This function moves the
unlock into its parent caller, and changes this semantic to requiring it
to enter/exit with it always unlocked.
In future patches, we need this expectation, as for in mTHP collapse, we
may have already dropped the lock, and do not want to conditionally check
for this by passing through the lock_dropped variable.
No functional change is expected as one of the first things the
collapse_huge_page function does is drop this lock before allocating the
hugepage.

generalize the order of the __collapse_huge_page_* and collapse_max_*
functions to support future mTHP collapse.
The current mechanism for determining collapse with the
khugepaged_max_ptes_none value is not designed with mTHP in mind. This
raises a key design issue: if we support user defined max_pte_none values
(even those scaled by order), a collapse of a lower order can introduces
an feedback loop, or "creep", when max_ptes_none is set to a value greater
than HPAGE_PMD_NR / 2. [1]
With this configuration, a successful collapse to order N will populate
enough pages to satisfy the collapse condition on order N+1 on the next
scan. This leads to unnecessary work and memory churn.
To fix this issue introduce a helper function that will limit mTHP
collapse support to two max_ptes_none values, 0 and HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1.
This effectively supports two modes: [2]
- max_ptes_none=0: never collapses if it encounters an empty PTE or a PTE
that maps the shared zeropage. Consequently, no memory bloat.
- max_ptes_none=511 (on 4k pagesz): Always collapse to the highest
available mTHP order.
This removes the possibility of "creep", and a warning will be emitted if
any non-supported max_ptes_none value is configured with mTHP enabled.
Any intermediate value will default mTHP collapse to max_ptes_none=0.
mTHP collapse will not honor the khugepaged_max_ptes_shared or
khugepaged_max_ptes_swap parameters, and will fail if it encounters a
shared or swapped entry.
No functional changes in this patch; however it defines future behavior
for mTHP collapse.

The following cleanup reworks all the max_ptes_* handling into helper
functions. This increases the code readability and will later be used to
implement the mTHP handling of these variables.
With these changes we abstract all the madvise_collapse() special casing
(do not respect the sysctls) away from the functions that utilize them.
And will be used later in this series to cleanly restrict the mTHP
collapse behavior.
No functional change is intended; however, we are now only reading the
sysfs variables once per scan, whereas before these variables were being
read on each loop iteration.

Patch series "khugepaged: add mTHP collapse support", v19.
The following series provides khugepaged with the capability to collapse
anonymous memory regions to mTHPs.
To achieve this we generalize the khugepaged functions to no longer depend
on PMD_ORDER. Then during the PMD scan, we use a bitmap to track
individual pages that are occupied (!none/zero). After the PMD scan is
done, we use the bitmap to find the optimal mTHP sizes for the PMD range.
The restriction on max_ptes_none is removed during the scan, to make sure
we account for the whole PMD range in the bitmap. When no mTHP size is
enabled, the legacy behavior of khugepaged is maintained.
We currently only support max_ptes_none values of 0 or HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1
(ie 511). If any other value is specified, the kernel will emit a warning
and mTHP collapse will default to max_ptes_none=0. If a mTHP collapse is
attempted, but contains swapped out, or shared pages, we don't perform the
collapse.
It is now also possible to collapse to mTHPs without requiring the PMD THP
size to be enabled. These limitations are to prevent collapse "creep"
behavior. This prevents constantly promoting mTHPs to the next available
size, which would occur because a collapse introduces more non-zero pages
that would satisfy the promotion condition on subsequent scans.
Patch 1-2: Generalize hugepage_vma_revalidate and alloc_charge_folio
for arbitrary orders.
Patch 3: Rework max_ptes_* handling into helper functions
Patch 4: Generalize __collapse_huge_page_* for mTHP support
Patch 5: Require collapse_huge_page to enter/exit with the lock dropped
Patch 6: Generalize collapse_huge_page for mTHP collapse
Patch 7: Skip collapsing mTHP to smaller orders
Patch 8-9: Add per-order mTHP statistics and tracepoints
Patch 10: Introduce collapse_possible_orders helper functions
Patch 11-13: Introduce bitmap and mTHP collapse support, fully enabled
Patch 14: Documentation
Testing:
- Built for x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le, and s390x
- ran all arches on test suites provided by the kernel-tests project
- internal testing suites: functional testing and performance testing
- selftests mm
- I created a test script that I used to push khugepaged to its limits
while monitoring a number of stats and tracepoints. The code is
available here[1] (Run in legacy mode for these changes and set mthp
sizes to inherit)
The summary from my testings was that there was no significant
regression noticed through this test. In some cases my changes had
better collapse latencies, and was able to scan more pages in the same
amount of time/work, but for the most part the results were consistent.
- redis testing. I did some testing with these changes along with my defer
changes (see followup [2] post for more details). We've decided to get
the mTHP changes merged first before attempting the defer series.
- some basic testing on 64k page size.
- lots of general use.
This patch (of 14):
For khugepaged to support different mTHP orders, we must generalize this
to check if the PMD is not shared by another VMA and that the order is
enabled.
We cannot collapse VMA regions that do not span the full PMD. This is due
to the potential of the PMD being shared by another VMA which leaves us
vulnerable to race conditions if neighboring VMAs are resized. Always
check the PMD order here to ensure its not shared by another VMA. We'd
need to lock all VMAs in the PMD range to support this which may lead to
increased lock contention and code complexity.
No functional change in this patch. Also correct a comment about the
functionality of the revalidation and fix a double space issues.

The sysctl handlers for min_unmapped_ratio and min_slab_ratio invoke
setup_min_unmapped_ratio() and setup_min_slab_ratio() unconditionally
after proc_dointvec_minmax(), even for read operations.
These setup functions first zero all per-NUMA node thresholds
(min_unmapped_pages and min_slab_pages) before recalculating them.
Reading /proc sysctl entries therefore temporarily resets node reclaim
thresholds to zero, which may disturb the behavior of __node_reclaim() and
node_reclaim() during the recomputation.
Fix this by only calling the setup functions when the sysctl is actually
written (write == 1), matching the behavior of existing sysctl handlers
like min_free_kbytes and watermark_scale_factor.
This only affects systems with CONFIG_NUMA.

Pages allocated before page_ext is available have their codetag left
uninitialized. Track these early PFNs and clear their codetag in
clear_early_alloc_pfn_tag_refs() to avoid "alloc_tag was not set" warnings
when they are freed later.
Currently a fixed-size array of 8192 entries is used, with a warning if
the limit is exceeded. However, the number of early allocations depends
on the number of CPUs and can be larger than 8192.
Replace the fixed-size array with a dynamically allocated linked list of
pfn_pool structs. Each node is allocated via alloc_page() and mapped to a
pfn_pool containing a next pointer, an atomic slot counter, and a PFN
array that fills the remainder of the page.
The tracking pages themselves are allocated via alloc_page(), which would
trigger __pgalloc_tag_add() -> alloc_tag_add_early_pfn() and recurse
indefinitely. Introduce __GFP_NO_CODETAG (reuses the %__GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT
bit) and pass gfp_flags through pgalloc_tag_add() so that the early path
can skip recording allocations that carry this flag.

Finish the switch away from __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT by replacing it with
SLAB_ALLOC_NO_RECURSE when allocating empty sheaves. Pass alloc_flags to
[__]alloc_empty_sheaf(). Callers that can't be part of a recursive
kmalloc() chain simply pass SLAB_ALLOC_DEFAULT. Use kmalloc_flags()
instead of kzalloc() for allocating the sheaf.
With that we can finalize the removal the __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT handling from
obj_ext allocations as well, leaving only SLAB_ALLOC_NO_RECURSE in
place.
This leaves __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT with no users in slab, so stop allowing the
flag in kmalloc_nolock().

__GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT has limited scope within the slab allocator itself and
gfp flags are a scarce resource, unlike slab's alloc_flags.
Introduce SLAB_ALLOC_NO_RECURSE alloc flag that has the same intent as
__GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT but a more generic name, meaning that a kmalloc()
family function should not recurse into another kmalloc*() for the
purposes of allocating auxiliary structures (obj_ext arrays or sheaves).
First, replace the __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT for allocating obj_ext arrays in
alloc_slab_obj_exts(). Make use of the newly added kmalloc_flags()
function, where we can pass alloc_flags with SLAB_ALLOC_NO_RECURSE
added. This will also pass through SLAB_ALLOC_NOLOCK so we don't need
to special case kmalloc_nolock() anymore.
Note that until now the kmalloc_nolock() ignored the incoming gfp flags
and hardcoded __GFP_ZERO | __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT. But it's correct to pass on
the incoming gfp flags (only augmented with __GFP_ZERO), because if
alloc_flags contain SLAB_ALLOC_NOLOCK, the incoming gfp flags have to
be also compatible with it. However, we might have added __GFP_THISNODE
for opportunistic slab allocation, as pointed out by Hao Li, and
__GFP_COMP by allocate_slab() as pointed out by Shengming Hu. Solve this
by adding both flags to OBJCGS_CLEAR_MASK as it makes sense to strip
them anyway for non-kmalloc_nolock() allocations of sheaves or obj_ext
arrays as well.
To avoid recursion of sheaf -> obj_ext -> sheaf -> ... allocations at
this patch, until the next patch converts sheaves to
SLAB_ALLOC_NO_RECURSE, use both gfp and alloc_flags for obj_ext. The
next patch will remove the gfp part.

With alloc_flags usage in slab, we can replace __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT with an
alloc flag that prevents kmalloc recursion. For that we need a version
of kmalloc() that takes alloc_flags and use it in places that perform
these potentially recursive kmalloc allocations (of sheaves or obj_ext
arrays).
Add this function, named kmalloc_flags(). Right now it's only useful for
these nested allocations, so it doesn't need to optimize build-time
constant sizes like kmalloc() or kmalloc_buckets.
Since we need it to support both normal and non-spinning
kmalloc_nolock() context through the SLAB_ALLOC_NOLOCK flag, split out
most of the special _kmalloc_nolock_noprof() implementation to
__kmalloc_nolock_noprof() that takes a slab_alloc_context, and make
_kmalloc_nolock_noprof() a simple tail calling wrapper with the proper
context.
kmalloc_flags() can thus determine whether to call
__kmalloc_nolock_noprof() or __do_kmalloc_node(), based on the
given alloc_flags.

The two flags are added internally so there's no point for warning if
they are passed by the caller as well, so allow them. This will allow
simplifying obj_ext allocation under kmalloc_nolock().
Also it's not necessary to have the extra alloc_gfp variable for adding
the two flags. The original gfp_flags parameter is not used anywhere
except for the warning. So remove alloc_gfp and directly modify and use
gfp_flags everywhere.

With alloc_flags usage in slab, we can replace __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT with an
alloc flag that prevents kmalloc recursion. For that we need a version
of kmalloc() that takes alloc_flags and use it in places that perform
these potentially recursive kmalloc allocations (of sheaves or obj_ext
arrays).
As a preparatory step, make __do_kmalloc_node() take a pointer to
slab_alloc_context. This replaces the 'size' and 'caller' parameters and
includes alloc_flags which we'll make use of.

The last user of gfpflags_allow_spinning() in slab is
alloc_from_pcs_bulk(), which is only called from
kmem_cache_alloc_bulk().
It turns out that gfpflags_allow_spinning() is not necessary, because
kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() is only expected to be called from context that
does allow spinning, so simply replace it with 'true'. This means we can
also drop the gfp parameter from alloc_from_pcs_bulk().
With that, we can remove the "@flags must allow spinning" part of the
kernel doc, as there is no more connection to the gfp flags in the slab
implementation.
Also remove a comment in alloc_slab_obj_exts() because there should be
no more false positives possible due to gfp_allowed_mask during early
boot.

The function takes all the parameters that exist as fields in
slab_alloc_context, except alloc_flags. Replace them with a single
pointer.
This moves slab_alloc_context initialization to a number of callers,
which is more verbose, but arguably also more clear than a long list of
parameters, and most do not use the 'lru' field.
This will also allow kmalloc_nolock() to call slab_alloc_node() and
reduce the special open-coding it currently has.

Convert the whole following call stack to pass either slab_alloc_context
(thus including alloc_flags) or just alloc_flags as necessary:
slab_post_alloc_hook()
alloc_tagging_slab_alloc_hook()
__alloc_tagging_slab_alloc_hook()
prepare_slab_obj_exts_hook()
alloc_slab_obj_exts()
memcg_slab_post_alloc_hook()
__memcg_slab_post_alloc_hook()
alloc_slab_obj_exts()
Converting all these at once avoids unnecessary churn and is mostly
mechanical.
This ultimately allows to decide if spinning is allowed using
alloc_flags in alloc_slab_obj_exts(), as well as slab_post_alloc_hook().
Aside from alloc_from_pcs_bulk() (to be handled next) there is nothing
else in slab itself relying on gfpflags_allow_spinning() which can
be false even if not called from kmalloc_nolock().
A followup change will also use the alloc_flags availability in the call
stack above to remove the __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT flag.
For alloc_slab_obj_exts(), also replace the suboptimal "bool new_slab"
parameter with a SLAB_ALLOC_NEW_SLAB flag with identical functionality.
To further reduce the number of parameters of slab_post_alloc_hook(),
also make 'struct list_lru *lru' (which is NULL for most callers) a new
field of slab_alloc_context.

Add the alloc_flags parameter to allocate_slab() and new_slab()
so it can be used to determine if spinning is allowed, independently
from gfp flags.
refill_objects() passes SLAB_ALLOC_DEFAULT because it can only be
reached from contexts that allow spinning.

Add alloc_flags as a new field to the slab_alloc_context helper struct,
so we can pass it to more functions in the slab implementation without
adding another function parameter.
Start checking them via alloc_flags_allow_spinning() in
alloc_single_from_new_slab() (where we can drop the allow_spin
parameter), ___slab_alloc(), get_from_partial_node() and
get_from_any_partial(). This further reduces false-positive
spinning-not-allowed from allocations that are not kmalloc_nolock() but
lack __GFP_RECLAIM flags.
_kmalloc_nolock_noprof() initializes ac.alloc_flags using its flags that
are SLAB_ALLOC_NOLOCK. slab_alloc_node() and __kmem_cache_alloc_bulk()
are not reachable from kmalloc_nolock() and all their callers expect
spinning to be allowed, so they can use SLAB_ALLOC_DEFAULT. This is
temporary as the scope of slab_alloc_context will further move to the
callers, making the alloc_flags usage more obvious.
Also change how trynode_flags are constructed in ___slab_alloc() to
achieve the same "do not upgrade to GFP_NOWAIT" by using masking instead
of checking allow_spin. We need to do that because we now determine
allow_spin from alloc_flags, and would otherwise start to upgrade e.g.
kmalloc() allocations without __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM (that however do
allow spinning) to GFP_NOWAIT, thus including __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
During the masking keep also existing __GFP_NOMEMALLOC (pointed out by
Sashiko) and __GFP_ACCOUNT. Previously the hardcoded GFP_NOWAIT would
eliminate them, but it's not a big problem that would need a separate
fix.

Refactor get_from_partial_node(), get_from_any_partial(),
get_from_partial() and ___slab_alloc().
Remove struct partial_context, which used to be more substantial but
shrank as part of the sheaves conversion. Instead pass gfp_flags and
pointer to the new slab_alloc_context, which together is a superset of
partial_context, and alloc_flags are about to be added to
slab_alloc_context as well.
No functional change intended.

Similarly to the page allocators, introduce slab-allocator specific
alloc flags that internally control allocation behavior in addition to
gfp_flags, without occupying the limited gfp flags space.
Introduce the first flag SLAB_ALLOC_NOLOCK that behaves similarly to
page allocator's ALLOC_TRYLOCK and will be used to reimplement
kmalloc_nolock()'s "!allow_spin" behavior. That currently relies on
gfpflags_allow_spinning() and thus the lack of both __GFP_RECLAIM flags,
importantly __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. This can give false-positive results
e.g. in early boot with a restricted gfp_allowed_mask.
Also introduce alloc_flags_allow_spinning() to replace the usage of
gfpflags_allow_spinning().
Start using alloc_flags and the new check first in alloc_from_pcs() and
__pcs_replace_empty_main(). This means some slab allocations that were
falsely treated as kmalloc_nolock() due to their gfp flags will now have
higher chances of success, and this will further increase with followup
changes.
Remove a WARN_ON_ONCE() from refill_objects() as it's now legitimate to
reach it from a slab allocation that's not _nolock() and yet lacks
__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM for other reasons.

Similarly to page allocator's struct alloc_context, introduce a helper
struct to hold a part of the allocation arguments. This will allow
reducing the number of parameters in many functions of the
implementation, and extend them easily if needed.
For now, make it hold the caller address and the originally requested
allocation size.
Convert alloc_single_from_new_slab(), __slab_alloc_node() and
___slab_alloc(). No functional change intended.

With sheaves, this is no longer part of the allocation fastpath. For

When init (zeroing) on allocation is requested, for kmalloc() we
generally have to zero the full object size even if a smaller size is
requested, in order to provide krealloc()'s __GFP_ZERO guarantees.
When we end up allocating a kfence object, kfence performs the zeroing
on its own because it has its own redzone beyond the requested size.
Thus slab_post_alloc_hook() has an 'init' parameter which has to be
evaluated in all callers (via slab_want_init_on_alloc()) and should be
false for kfence allocations.
For kfence allocations in slab_alloc_node() this is achieved by subtly
skipping over the slab_want_init_on_alloc() call. Other callers (i.e.
kmem_cache_alloc_bulk_noprof()) however evaluate it unconditionally even
if they do end up with a kfence allocation. This is only subtly not a
problem, as those are not kmalloc allocations and thus the "requested
size" equals s->object_size and thus it cannot interfere with kfence's
redzone. There's just a unnecessary double zeroing (in both kfence and
slab_post_alloc_hook()), but it's all very fragile and contradicts the
comment in kfence_guarded_alloc().
Remove this subtlety and simplify the code by eliminating the init
parameter from slab_post_alloc_hook() and make it call
slab_want_init_on_alloc() itself. Instead add a is_kfence_address()
check before performing the memset, which will start doing the right
thing for all callers of slab_post_alloc_hook().
This potentially adds overhead of the is_kfence_address() check to
allocation hotpath, but that one is designed to be as small as possible,
and it's only evaluated if zeroing is about to happen. This means (aside
from init_on_alloc hardening) only for __GFP_ZERO allocations, and the
zeroing itself comes with an overhead likely larger than the added
check.
While at it, refactor the handling of evaluating when KASAN does the
init instead of SLUB, with no intended functional changes. A
non-functional change is that we don't pass kasan_init as true to
kasan_slab_alloc() if kasan has no integrated init, but then the value
is ignored anyway, so it's theoretically more correct.
Thanks to Harry Yoo for the initial refactoring attempt, and for updated
comments that are used here.
