Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that). - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock contention. Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees. Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up. - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down to the single bit level. KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones. - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of memory into THPs. - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to support file/shmem-backed pages. - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and memory-failure - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages. - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced memory consumption. - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song. - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner. - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :( - migration enhancements from Peter Xu - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM drivers, etc. - vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn. - NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand. - xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging activity. - THP & KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng. - more folio work from Matthew Wilcox. - KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov. - DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia. - DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups. - hugetlb sysfs cleanups from Muchun Song. - Mike Kravetz fixes locking issues in hugetlbfs and in hugetlb core.

mm: fs: initialize fsdata passed to write_begin/write_end interface

2022-10-03T21:03:25Z

Functions implementing the a_ops->write_end() interface accept the `void *fsdata` parameter that is supposed to be initialized by the corresponding a_ops->write_begin() (which accepts `void **fsdata`). However not all a_ops->write_begin() implementations initialize `fsdata` unconditionally, so it may get passed uninitialized to a_ops->write_end(), resulting in undefined behavior. Fix this by initializing fsdata with NULL before the call to write_begin(), rather than doing so in all possible a_ops implementations. This patch covers only the following cases found by running x86 KMSAN under syzkaller: - generic_perform_write() - cont_expand_zero() and generic_cont_expand_simple() - page_symlink() Other cases of passing uninitialized fsdata may persist in the codebase.

fs/buffer: make submit_bh & submit_bh_wbc return type as void

2022-09-30T03:01:40Z

submit_bh/submit_bh_wbc are non-blocking functions which just submit the bio and return. The caller of submit_bh/submit_bh_wbc needs to wait on buffer till I/O completion and then check buffer head's b_state field to know if there was any I/O error. Hence there is no need for these functions to have any return type. Even now they always returns 0. Hence drop the return value and make their return type as void to avoid any confusion.

fs/buffer: drop useless return value of submit_bh

2022-09-30T03:01:40Z

submit_bh always returns 0. This patch drops the useless return value of submit_bh from __sync_dirty_buffer(). Once all of submit_bh callers are cleaned up, we can make it's return type as void.

buffer: use try_cmpxchg in discard_buffer

2022-09-12T04:55:07Z

Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in discard_buffer. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg). Also, try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg fails, enabling further code simplifications. Note that the value from *ptr should be read using READ_ONCE to prevent the compiler from merging, refetching or reordering the read. No functional change intended.

fs/buffer: replace ll_rw_block()

2022-09-12T03:26:06Z

ll_rw_block() is not safe for the sync IO path because it skip buffers which has been locked by others, it could lead to false positive EIO when submitting read IO. So stop using ll_rw_block(), switch to use new helpers which could guarantee buffer locked and submit IO if needed.

fs/buffer: add some new buffer read helpers

2022-09-12T03:26:06Z

Current ll_rw_block() helper is fragile because it assumes that locked buffer means it's under IO which is submitted by some other who holds the lock, it skip buffer if it failed to get the lock, so it's only safe on the readahead path. Unfortunately, now that most filesystems still use this helper mistakenly on the sync metadata read path. There is no guarantee that the one who holds the buffer lock always submit IO (e.g. buffer_migrate_folio_norefs() after commit 88dbcbb3a484 ("blkdev: avoid migration stalls for blkdev pages"), it could lead to false positive -EIO when submitting reading IO. This patch add some friendly buffer read helpers to prepare replacing ll_rw_block() and similar calls. We can only call bh_readahead_[] helpers for the readahead paths.
