A customer experienced a low-memory situation and decided to issue a
SIGKILL (i.e. a fatal signal). Instead of promptly terminating as one
would expect, the aforementioned task remained unresponsive.
Further investigation indicated that the task was "stuck" in the
reclaim/compaction retry loop. Now, it does not make sense to retry
compaction when a fatal signal is pending.
In the context of try_to_compact_pages(), indeed COMPACT_SKIPPED can be
returned; albeit, not every zone, on the zone list, would be considered in
the case a fatal signal is found to be pending. Yet, in
should_compact_retry(), given the last known compaction result, each zone,
on the zone list, can be considered/or checked (see
compaction_zonelist_suitable()). For example, if a zone was found to
succeed, then reclaim/compaction would be tried again (notwithstanding the
above).
This patch ensures that compaction is not needlessly retried irrespective
of the last known compaction result e.g. if it was skipped, in the
unlikely case a fatal signal is found pending. So, OOM is at least
attempted.

Patch series "Constify struct page arguments".
While working on various solutions to the 32-bit struct page size
regression, one of the problems I found was the networking stack expects
to be able to pass const struct page pointers around, and the mm doesn't
provide a lot of const-friendly functions to call. The root tangle of
problems is that a lot of functions call VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(), which calls
dump_page(), which calls a lot of functions which don't take a const
struct page (but could be const).
This patch (of 6):
The only caller of __dump_page() now opencodes dump_page(), so remove it
as an externally visible symbol.

There is a lot of historical ifdefery in is_highmem_idx() and its helper
zone_movable_is_highmem() that was required because of two different paths
for nodes and zones initialization that were selected at compile time.
Until commit 3f08a302f5 ("mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP
option") the movable_zone variable was only available for configurations
that had CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP enabled so the test in
zone_movable_is_highmem() used that variable only for such configurations.
For other configurations the test checked if the index of ZONE_MOVABLE
was greater by 1 than the index of ZONE_HIGMEM and then movable zone was
considered a highmem zone. Needless to say, ZONE_MOVABLE - 1 equals
ZONE_HIGHMEM by definition when CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y.
Commit 3f08a302f5 ("mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP option")
made movable_zone variable always available. Since this variable is set
to ZONE_HIGHMEM if CONFIG_HIGHMEM is enabled and highmem zone is
populated, it is enough to check whether
zone_idx == ZONE_MOVABLE && movable_zone == ZONE_HIGMEM
to test if zone index points to a highmem zone.
Remove zone_movable_is_highmem() that is not used anywhere except
is_highmem_idx() and use the test above in is_highmem_idx() instead.

Commit c65e774fb3 ("x86/mm: Make PGDIR_SHIFT and PTRS_PER_P4D variable")
made PTRS_PER_P4D variable on x86 and introduced MAX_PTRS_PER_P4D as a
constant for cases which need a compile-time constant (e.g. fixed-size
arrays).
powerpc likewise has boot-time selectable MMU features which can cause
other mm "constants" to vary. For KASAN, we have some static
PTE/PMD/PUD/P4D arrays so we need compile-time maximums for all these
constants. Extend the MAX_PTRS_PER_ idiom, and place default definitions
in include/pgtable.h. These define MAX_PTRS_PER_x to be PTRS_PER_x unless
an architecture has defined MAX_PTRS_PER_x in its arch headers.
Clean up pgtable-nop4d.h and s390's MAX_PTRS_PER_P4D definitions while
we're at it: both can just pick up the default now.

Patch series "KASAN core changes for ppc64 radix KASAN", v16.
Building on the work of Christophe, Aneesh and Balbir, I've ported KASAN
to 64-bit Book3S kernels running on the Radix MMU. I've been trying this
for a while, but we keep having collisions between the kasan code in the
mm tree and the code I want to put in to the ppc tree.
This series just contains the kasan core changes that we need. There
should be no noticeable changes to other platforms.
This patch (of 4):
For annoying architectural reasons, it's very difficult to support inline
instrumentation on powerpc64.*
Add a Kconfig flag to allow an arch to disable inline. (It's a bit
annoying to be 'backwards', but I'm not aware of any way to have an arch
force a symbol to be 'n', rather than 'y'.)
We also disable stack instrumentation in this case as it does things that
are functionally equivalent to inline instrumentation, namely adding code
that touches the shadow directly without going through a C helper.
* on ppc64 atm, the shadow lives in virtual memory and isn't accessible in
real mode. However, before we turn on virtual memory, we parse the device
tree to determine which platform and MMU we're running under. That calls
generic DT code, which is instrumented. Inline instrumentation in DT
would unconditionally attempt to touch the shadow region, which we won't
have set up yet, and would crash. We can make outline mode wait for the
arch to be ready, but we can't change what the compiler inserts for inline
mode.

The KUNIT_EXPECT_KASAN_FAIL() macro currently uses KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ() to
compare fail_data.report_expected and fail_data.report_found. This always
gave a somewhat useless error message on failure, but the addition of
extra compile-time checking with READ_ONCE() has caused it to get much
longer, and be truncated before anything useful is displayed.
Instead, just check fail_data.report_found by hand (we've just set
report_expected to 'true'), and print a better failure message with
KUNIT_FAIL(). Because of this, report_expected is no longer used
anywhere, and can be removed.
Beforehand, a failure in:
KUNIT_EXPECT_KASAN_FAIL(test, ((volatile char *)area)[3100]);
would have looked like:
[22:00:34] [FAILED] vmalloc_oob
[22:00:34] # vmalloc_oob: EXPECTATION FAILED at lib/test_kasan.c:991
[22:00:34] Expected ({ do { extern void __compiletime_assert_705(void) __attribute__((__error__("Unsupported access size for {READ,WRITE}_ONCE()."))); if (!((sizeof(fail_data.report_expected) == sizeof(char) || sizeof(fail_data.repp
[22:00:34] not ok 45 - vmalloc_oob
With this change, it instead looks like:
[22:04:04] [FAILED] vmalloc_oob
[22:04:04] # vmalloc_oob: EXPECTATION FAILED at lib/test_kasan.c:993
[22:04:04] KASAN failure expected in "((volatile char *)area)[3100]", but none occurred
[22:04:04] not ok 45 - vmalloc_oob
Also update the example failure in the documentation to reflect this.

Recently there has been introduced a page bulk allocator for users which
need to get number of pages per one call request.
For order-0 pages switch to an alloc_pages_bulk_array_node() instead of
alloc_pages_node(), the reason is the former is not capable of allocating
set of pages, thus a one call is per one page.
Second, according to my tests the bulk allocator uses less cycles even for
scenarios when only one page is requested. Running the "perf" on same
test case shows below difference:
<default>
- 45.18% __vmalloc_node
- __vmalloc_node_range
- 35.60% __alloc_pages
- get_page_from_freelist
3.36% __list_del_entry_valid
3.00% check_preemption_disabled
1.42% prep_new_page
<default>
<patch>
- 31.00% __vmalloc_node
- __vmalloc_node_range
- 14.48% __alloc_pages_bulk
3.22% __list_del_entry_valid
- 0.83% __alloc_pages
get_page_from_freelist
<patch>
The "test_vmalloc.sh" also shows performance improvements:
fix_size_alloc_test_4MB loops: 1000000 avg: 89105095 usec
fix_size_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 513672 usec
full_fit_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 748900 usec
long_busy_list_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 8043038 usec
random_size_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 4028582 usec
fix_align_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 1457671 usec
fix_size_alloc_test_4MB loops: 1000000 avg: 62083711 usec
fix_size_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 449207 usec
full_fit_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 735985 usec
long_busy_list_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 5176052 usec
random_size_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 2589252 usec
fix_align_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 1365009 usec
For example 4MB allocations illustrates ~30% gain, all the
rest is also better.

Patch series "mm: Add vma_lookup()", v2.
Many places in the kernel use find_vma() to get a vma and then check the
start address of the vma to ensure the next vma was not returned.
Other places use the find_vma_intersection() call with add, addr + 1 as
the range; looking for just the vma at a specific address.
The third use of find_vma() is by developers who do not know that the
function starts searching at the provided address upwards for the next
vma. This results in a bug that is often overlooked for a long time.
Adding the new vma_lookup() function will allow for cleaner code by
removing the find_vma() calls which check limits, making
find_vma_intersection() calls of a single address to be shorter, and
potentially reduce the incorrect uses of find_vma().
