mm: return void from folio_start_writeback() and related functions

2023-12-11T00:51:37Z

Nobody now checks the return value from any of these functions, so add an assertion at the beginning of the function and return void.

mm: remove test_set_page_writeback()

2023-12-11T00:51:36Z

Patch series "Make folio_start_writeback return void". Most of the folio flag-setting functions return void. folio_start_writeback is gratuitously different; the only two filesystems that do anything with the return value emit debug messages if it's already set, and we can (and should) do that internally without bothering the filesystem to do it. This patch (of 4): There are no more callers of this wrapper.

mm: add folio_xor_flags_has_waiters()

2023-10-18T21:34:17Z

Optimise folio_end_read() by setting the uptodate bit at the same time we clear the unlock bit. This saves at least one memory barrier and one write-after-write hazard.

mm: remove folio_test_transhuge()

2023-08-21T21:28:45Z

This function is misleading; people think it means "Is this a THP", when all it actually does is check whether this is a large folio. Remove it; the one remaining user should have been checking to see whether the folio is PMD sized or not.

mm: free up a word in the first tail page

2023-08-21T21:28:45Z

Store the folio order in the low byte of the flags word in the first tail page. This frees up the word that was being used to store the order and dtor bytes previously.

mm: rearrange page flags

2023-08-21T21:28:44Z

Move PG_writeback into bottom byte so that it can use PG_waiters in a later patch. Move PG_head into bottom byte as well to match with where 'order' is moving next. PG_active and PG_workingset move into the second byte to make room for them. By putting PG_head in bit 6, we ensure that it is cleared by assigning the folio order to the bottom byte of the first tail page (since the order cannot be larger than 63).

mm: add large_rmappable page flag

2023-08-21T21:28:44Z

Stored in the first tail page's flags, this flag replaces the destructor. That removes the last of the destructors, so remove all references to folio_dtor and compound_dtor.

mm: remove HUGETLB_PAGE_DTOR

2023-08-21T21:28:44Z

We can use a bit in page[1].flags to indicate that this folio belongs to hugetlb instead of using a value in page[1].dtors. That lets folio_test_hugetlb() become an inline function like it should be. We can also get rid of NULL_COMPOUND_DTOR.

mm: add PAGE_TYPE_OP folio functions

2023-08-21T20:37:51Z

Patch series "Split ptdesc from struct page", v9. The MM subsystem is trying to shrink struct page. This patchset introduces a memory descriptor for page table tracking - struct ptdesc. This patchset introduces ptdesc, splits ptdesc from struct page, and converts many callers of page table constructor/destructors to use ptdescs. Ptdesc is a foundation to further standardize page tables, and eventually allow for dynamic allocation of page tables independent of struct page. However, the use of pages for page table tracking is quite deeply ingrained and varied across archictectures, so there is still a lot of work to be done before that can happen. This patch (of 31): No folio equivalents for page type operations have been defined, so define them for later folio conversions. Also changes the Page##uname macros to take in const struct page* since we only read the memory here.

mm: page_table_check: Ensure user pages are not slab pages

2023-05-29T15:14:28Z

The current uses of PageAnon in page table check functions can lead to type confusion bugs between struct page and slab [1], if slab pages are accidentally mapped into the user space. This is because slab reuses the bits in struct page to store its internal states, which renders PageAnon ineffective on slab pages. Since slab pages are not expected to be mapped into the user space, this patch adds BUG_ON(PageSlab(page)) checks to make sure that slab pages are not inadvertently mapped. Otherwise, there must be some bugs in the kernel.
