| * | rseq: Split out rseq.h from sched.hKent Overstreet2023-12-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We're trying to get sched.h down to more or less just types only, not code - rseq can live in its own header. This helps us kill the dependency on preempt.h in sched.h. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@linux.dev>

* | fork: use __mt_dup() to duplicate maple tree in dup_mmap()Peng Zhang2023-12-111-11/+29
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In dup_mmap(), using __mt_dup() to duplicate the old maple tree and then directly replacing the entries of VMAs in the new maple tree can result in better performance. __mt_dup() uses DFS pre-order to duplicate the maple tree, so it is efficient. The average time complexity of __mt_dup() is O(n), where n is the number of VMAs. The proof of the time complexity is provided in the commit log that introduces __mt_dup(). After duplicating the maple tree, each element is traversed and replaced (ignoring the cases of deletion, which are rare). Since it is only a replacement operation for each element, this process is also O(n). Analyzing the exact time complexity of the previous algorithm is challenging because each insertion can involve appending to a node, pushing data to adjacent nodes, or even splitting nodes. The frequency of each action is difficult to calculate. The worst-case scenario for a single insertion is when the tree undergoes splitting at every level. If we consider each insertion as the worst-case scenario, we can determine that the upper bound of the time complexity is O(n*log(n)), although this is a loose upper bound. However, based on the test data, it appears that the actual time complexity is likely to be O(n). As the entire maple tree is duplicated using __mt_dup(), if dup_mmap() fails, there will be a portion of VMAs that have not been duplicated in the maple tree. To handle this, we mark the failure point with XA_ZERO_ENTRY. In exit_mmap(), if this marker is encountered, stop releasing VMAs that have not been duplicated after this point. There is a "spawn" in byte-unixbench[1], which can be used to test the performance of fork(). I modified it slightly to make it work with different number of VMAs. Below are the test results. The first row shows the number of VMAs. The second and third rows show the number of fork() calls per ten seconds, corresponding to next-20231006 and the this patchset, respectively. The test results were obtained with CPU binding to avoid scheduler load balancing that could cause unstable results. There are still some fluctuations in the test results, but at least they are better than the original performance. 21 121 221 421 821 1621 3221 6421 12821 25621 51221 112100 76261 54227 34035 20195 11112 6017 3161 1606 802 393 114558 83067 65008 45824 28751 16072 8922 4747 2436 1233 599 2.19% 8.92% 19.88% 34.64% 42.37% 44.64% 48.28% 50.17% 51.68% 53.74% 52.42% [1] https://github.com/kdlucas/byte-unixbench/tree/master Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231027033845.90608-11-zhangpeng.00@bytedance.com Signed-off-by: Peng Zhang <zhangpeng.00@bytedance.com> Suggested-by: Liam R.

| * | mm: drop the assumption that VM_SHARED always implies writableLorenzo Stoakes2023-10-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch series "permit write-sealed memfd read-only shared mappings", v4. The man page for fcntl() describing memfd file seals states the following about F_SEAL_WRITE:- Furthermore, trying to create new shared, writable memory-mappings via mmap(2) will also fail with EPERM. With emphasis on 'writable'. In turns out in fact that currently the kernel simply disallows all new shared memory mappings for a memfd with F_SEAL_WRITE applied, rendering this documentation inaccurate. This matters because users are therefore unable to obtain a shared mapping to a memfd after write sealing altogether, which limits their usefulness. This was reported in the discussion thread [1] originating from a bug report [2]. This is a product of both using the struct address_space->i_mmap_writable atomic counter to determine whether writing may be permitted, and the kernel adjusting this counter when any VM_SHARED mapping is performed and more generally implicitly assuming VM_SHARED implies writable. It seems sensible that we should only update this mapping if VM_MAYWRITE is specified, i.e. whether it is possible that this mapping could at any point be written to. If we do so then all we need to do to permit write seals to function as documented is to clear VM_MAYWRITE when mapping read-only. It turns out this functionality already exists for F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE - we can therefore simply adapt this logic to do the same for F_SEAL_WRITE. We then hit a chicken and egg situation in mmap_region() where the check for VM_MAYWRITE occurs before we are able to clear this flag. To work around this, perform this check after we invoke call_mmap(), with careful consideration of error paths. Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the suggestion! [1]:https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230324133646.16101dfa666f253c4715d965@linux-foundation.org/ [2]:https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217238 This patch (of 3): There is a general assumption that VMAs with the VM_SHARED flag set are writable. If the VM_MAYWRITE flag is not set, then this is simply not the case. Update those checks which affect the struct address_space->i_mmap_writable field to explicitly test for this by introducing [vma_]is_shared_maywrite() helper functions. This remains entirely conservative, as the lack of VM_MAYWRITE guarantees that the VMA cannot be written to.

To implement this no-inherit mode, the tag in current->mm->flags must be absent from MMF_INIT_MASK. This means that the encoding for "MDWE but without inherit" is different in the prctl than in the mm flags. This leads to a bit of bit-mangling in the prctl implementation.

The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.

* / file: convert to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCUChristian Brauner2023-10-191-3/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In recent discussions around some performance improvements in the file handling area we discussed switching the file cache to rely on SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU which allows us to get rid of call_rcu() based freeing for files completely. This is a pretty sensitive change overall but it might actually be worth doing. The main downside is the subtlety. The other one is that we should really wait for Jann's patch to land that enables KASAN to handle SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU UAFs. Currently it doesn't but a patch for this exists. With SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU objects may be freed and reused multiple times which requires a few changes. So it isn't sufficient anymore to just acquire a reference to the file in question under rcu using atomic_long_inc_not_zero() since the file might have already been recycled and someone else might have bumped the reference. In other words, callers might see reference count bumps from newer users. For this reason it is necessary to verify that the pointer is the same before and after the reference count increment. This pattern can be seen in get_file_rcu() and __files_get_rcu(). In addition, it isn't possible to access or check fields in struct file without first aqcuiring a reference on it. Not doing that was always very dodgy and it was only usable for non-pointer data in struct file. With SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU it is necessary that callers first acquire a reference under rcu or they must hold the files_lock of the fdtable. Failing to do either one of this is a bug. Thanks to Jann for pointing out that we need to ensure memory ordering between reallocations and pointer check by ensuring that all subsequent loads have a dependency on the second load in get_file_rcu() and providing a fixup that was folded into this patch.

Originally I spent some time trying to improve the percpu allocator, but instead preferred what Mateusz Guzik proposed grouping at the allocation site, percpu_counter_init_many(). This allows a single percpu allocation to be shared by the counters. I like this approach because it creates a shared lifetime by the allocations.

While the commit message does not explain *why* the change, I found the original submission [1] which ultimately claims it cleans things up by removing dependency of exe_file on the semaphore. However, fe69d560b5bd ("kernel/fork: always deny write access to current MM exe_file") added a semaphore up/down cycle to synchronize the state of exe_file against fork, defeating the point of the original change. This is on top of semaphore trips already present both in the replacing function and prctl (the only consumer). Normally replacing exe_file does not happen for busy processes, thus write-locking is not an impediment to performance in the intended use case. If someone keeps invoking the routine for a busy processes they are trying to play dirty and that's another reason to avoid any trickery. As such I think the atomic here only adds complexity for no benefit. Just write-lock around the replacement. I also note that replacement races against the mapping check loop as nothing synchronizes actual assignment with with said checks but I am not addressing it in this patch. (Is the loop of any use to begin with?)

* fork: lock VMAs of the parent process when forkingSuren Baghdasaryan2023-07-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When forking a child process, the parent write-protects anonymous pages and COW-shares them with the child being forked using copy_present_pte(). We must not take any concurrent page faults on the source vma's as they are being processed, as we expect both the vma and the pte's behind it to be stable. For example, the anon_vma_fork() expects the parents vma->anon_vma to not change during the vma copy. A concurrent page fault on a page newly marked read-only by the page copy might trigger wp_page_copy() and a anon_vma_prepare(vma) on the source vma, defeating the anon_vma_clone() that wasn't done because the parent vma originally didn't have an anon_vma, but we now might end up copying a pte entry for a page that has one. Before the per-vma lock based changes, the mmap_lock guaranteed exclusion with concurrent page faults. But now we need to do a vma_start_write() to make sure no concurrent faults happen on this vma while it is being processed. This fix can potentially regress some fork-heavy workloads. Kernel build time did not show noticeable regression on a 56-core machine while a stress test mapping 10000 VMAs and forking 5000 times in a tight loop shows ~5% regression. If such fork time regression is unacceptable, disabling CONFIG_PER_VMA_LOCK should restore its performance. Further optimizations are possible if this regression proves to be problematic.

| * fork: optimize memcg_charge_kernel_stack() a bitHaifeng Xu2023-06-101-7/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit f1c1a9ee00e4 ("fork: Move memcg_charge_kernel_stack() into CONFIG_VMAP_STACK"), memcg_charge_kernel_stack() has been moved into CONFIG_VMAP_STACK block, so the CONFIG_VMAP_STACK check can be removed. Furthermore, memcg_charge_kernel_stack() is only invoked by alloc_thread_stack_node() instead of dup_task_struct(). If memcg_kmem_charge_page() fails, the uncharge process is handled in memcg_charge_kernel_stack() itself instead of free_thread_stack(), so remove the incorrect comments. If memcg_charge_kernel_stack() fails to charge pages used by kernel stack, only charged pages need to be uncharged. It's unnecessary to uncharge those pages which memory cgroup pointer is NULL.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When task local storage was generalized for tracing programs, the bpf_task_local_storage callback was moved from a BPF LSM hook callback for security_task_free LSM hook to it's own callback. But a failure case in bad_fork_cleanup_security was missed which, when triggered, led to a dangling task owner pointer and a subsequent use-after-free. Move the bpf_task_storage_free to the very end of free_task to handle all failure cases. This issue was noticed when a BPF LSM program was attached to the task_alloc hook on a kernel with KASAN enabled. The program used bpf_task_storage_get to copy the task local storage from the current task to the new task being created.

* / fork, vhost: Use CLONE_THREAD to fix freezer/ps regressionMike Christie2023-06-011-8/+5
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When switching from kthreads to vhost_tasks two bugs were added: 1. The vhost worker tasks's now show up as processes so scripts doing ps or ps a would not incorrectly detect the vhost task as another process. 2. kthreads disabled freeze by setting PF_NOFREEZE, but vhost tasks's didn't disable or add support for them. To fix both bugs, this switches the vhost task to be thread in the process that does the VHOST_SET_OWNER ioctl, and has vhost_worker call get_signal to support SIGKILL/SIGSTOP and freeze signals. Note that SIGKILL/STOP support is required because CLONE_THREAD requires CLONE_SIGHAND which requires those 2 signals to be supported. This is a modified version of the patch written by Mike Christie <michael.christie@oracle.com> which was a modified version of patch originally written by Linus. Much of what depended upon PF_IO_WORKER now depends on PF_USER_WORKER. Including ignoring signals, setting up the register state, and having get_signal return instead of calling do_group_exit. Tidied up the vhost_task abstraction so that the definition of vhost_task only needs to be visible inside of vhost_task.c. Making it easier to review the code and tell what needs to be done where. As part of this the main loop has been moved from vhost_worker into vhost_task_fn. vhost_worker now returns true if work was done. The main loop has been updated to call get_signal which handles SIGSTOP, freezing, and collects the message that tells the thread to exit as part of process exit. This collection clears __fatal_signal_pending. This collection is not guaranteed to clear signal_pending() so clear that explicitly so the schedule() sleeps. For now the vhost thread continues to exist and run work until the last file descriptor is closed and the release function is called as part of freeing struct file. To avoid hangs in the coredump rendezvous and when killing threads in a multi-threaded exec. The coredump code and de_thread have been modified to ignore vhost threads. Remvoing the special case for exec appears to require teaching vhost_dev_flush how to directly complete transactions in case the vhost thread is no longer running. Removing the special case for coredump rendezvous requires either the above fix needed for exec or moving the coredump rendezvous into get_signal.

After lots of collaboration between various parties, we finally locked down on a stable interface for user events that can also work with user space only tracing. This is implemented by telling the kernel (or user space library, but that part is user space only and not part of this patch set), where the variable is that the application uses to know if something is listening to the trace. There's also an interface to tell the kernel about these events, which will show up in the /sys/kernel/tracing/events/user_events/ directory, where it can be enabled. When it's enabled, the kernel will update the variable, to tell the application to start writing to the kernel. See https://lwn.net/Articles/927595/ - Cleaned up the direct trampolines code to simplify arm64 addition of direct trampolines. Direct trampolines use the ftrace interface but instead of jumping to the ftrace trampoline, applications (mostly BPF) can register their own trampoline for performance reasons. - Some updates to the fprobe infrastructure. fprobes are more efficient than kprobes, as it does not need to save all the registers that kprobes on ftrace do. More work needs to be done before the fprobes will be exposed as dynamic events. - More updates to references to the obsolete path of /sys/kernel/debug/tracing for the new /sys/kernel/tracing path. - Add a seq_buf_do_printk() helper to seq_bufs, to print a large buffer line by line instead of all at once. There are users in production kernels that have a large data dump that originally used printk() directly, but the data dump was larger than what printk() allowed as a single print. Using seq_buf() to do the printing fixes that. - Add /sys/kernel/tracing/touched_functions that shows all functions that was every traced by ftrace or a direct trampoline. This is used for debugging issues where a traced function could have caused a crash by a bpf program or live patching. - Add a "fields" option that is similar to "raw" but outputs the fields of the events. It's easier to read by humans. - Some minor fixes and clean ups. * tag 'trace-v6.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (41 commits) ring-buffer: Sync IRQ works before buffer destruction tracing: Add missing spaces in trace_print_hex_seq() ring-buffer: Ensure proper resetting of atomic variables in ring_buffer_reset_online_cpus recordmcount: Fix memory leaks in the uwrite function tracing/user_events: Limit max fault-in attempts tracing/user_events: Prevent same address and bit per process tracing/user_events: Ensure bit is cleared on unregister tracing/user_events: Ensure write index cannot be negative seq_buf: Add seq_buf_do_printk() helper tracing: Fix print_fields() for __dyn_loc/__rel_loc tracing/user_events: Set event filter_type from type ring-buffer: Clearly check null ptr returned by rb_set_head_page() tracing: Unbreak user events tracing/user_events: Use print_format_fields() for trace output tracing/user_events: Align structs with tabs for readability tracing/user_events: Limit global user_event count tracing/user_events: Charge event allocs to cgroups tracing/user_events: Update documentation for ABI tracing/user_events: Use write ABI in example tracing/user_events: Add ABI self-test ...

Keep track of the currently allocated mm_cid for each mm/cpu rather than freeing them immediately on context switch. This eliminates most atomic operations when context switching back and forth between threads belonging to different memory spaces in multi-threaded scenarios (many processes, each with many threads). The per-mm/per-cpu mm_cid values are serialized by their respective runqueue locks. Thread migration is handled by introducing invocation to sched_mm_cid_migrate_to() (with destination runqueue lock held) in activate_task() for migrating tasks. If the destination cpu's mm_cid is unset, and if the source runqueue is not actively using its mm_cid, then the source cpu's mm_cid is moved to the destination cpu on migration. Introduce a task-work executed periodically, similarly to NUMA work, which delays reclaim of cid values when they are unused for a period of time. Keep track of the allocation time for each per-cpu cid, and let the task work clear them when they are observed to be older than SCHED_MM_CID_PERIOD_NS and unused. This task work also clears all mm_cids which are greater or equal to the Hamming weight of the mm cidmask to keep concurrency ids compact. Because we want to ensure the mm_cid converges towards the smaller values as migrations happen, the prior optimization that was done when context switching between threads belonging to the same mm is removed, because it could delay the lazy release of the destination runqueue mm_cid after it has been replaced by a migration. Removing this prior optimization is not an issue performance-wise because the introduced per-mm/per-cpu mm_cid tracking also covers this more specific case.

The patchset proposes one of the enhancements to numa vma scanning suggested by Mel. This is continuation of [3]. Reposting the rebased patchset to akpm mm-unstable tree (March 1) Existing mechanism of scan period involves, scan period derived from per-thread stats. Process Adaptive autoNUMA [1] proposed to gather NUMA fault stats at per-process level to capture aplication behaviour better. During that course of discussion, Mel proposed several ideas to enhance current numa balancing. One of the suggestion was below Track what threads access a VMA. The suggestion was to use an unsigned long pid_mask and use the lower bits to tag approximately what threads access a VMA. Skip VMAs that did not trap a fault. This would be approximate because of PID collisions but would reduce scanning of areas the thread is not interested in. The above suggestion intends not to penalize threads that has no interest in the vma, thus reduce scanning overhead. V3 changes are mostly based on PeterZ comments (details below in changes) Summary of patchset: Current patchset implements: 1. Delay the vma scanning logic for newly created VMA's so that additional overhead of scanning is not incurred for short lived tasks (implementation by Mel) 2. Store the information of tasks accessing VMA in 2 windows. It is regularly cleared in (4*sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_delay) interval. The above time is derived from experimenting (Suggested by PeterZ) to balance between frequent clearing vs obsolete access data 3. hash_32 used to encode task index accessing VMA information 4. VMA's acess information is used to skip scanning for the tasks which had not accessed VMA Changes since V2: patch1: - Renaming of structure, macro to function, - Add explanation to heuristics - Adding more details from result (PeterZ) Patch2: - Usage of test and set bit (PeterZ) - Move storing access PID info to numa_migrate_prep() - Add a note on fainess among tasks allowed to scan (PeterZ) Patch3: - Maintain two windows of access PID information (PeterZ supported implementation and Gave idea to extend to N if needed) Patch4: - Apply hash_32 function to track VMA accessing PIDs (PeterZ) Changes since RFC V1: - Include Mel's vma scan delay patch - Change the accessing pid store logic (Thanks Mel) - Fencing structure / code to NUMA_BALANCING (David, Mel) - Adding clearing access PID logic (Mel) - Descriptive change log ( Mike Rapoport) Things to ponder over: ========================================== - Improvement to clearing accessing PIDs logic (discussed in-detail in patch3 itself (Done in this patchset by implementing 2 window history) - Current scan period is not changed in the patchset, so we do see frequent tries to scan. Relaxing scan period dynamically could improve results further.

| * | | | mm: separate vma->lock from vm_area_structSuren Baghdasaryan2023-04-061-14/+59

Fix that by moving the lock outside of the vm_area_struct. All attempts to keep vma->lock inside vm_area_struct in a separate cache line still produce performance regression especially on NUMA machines. Smallest regression was achieved when lock is placed in the fourth cache line but that bloats vm_area_struct to 256 bytes. Considering performance and memory impact, separate lock looks like the best option. It increases memory footprint of each VMA but that can be optimized later if the new size causes issues. Note that after this change vma_init() does not allocate or initialize vma->lock anymore. A number of drivers allocate a pseudo VMA on the stack but they never use the VMA's lock, therefore it does not need to be allocated. The future drivers which might need the VMA lock should use vm_area_alloc()/vm_area_free() to allocate the VMA.

| * | | | mm/mmap: free vm_area_struct without call_rcu in exit_mmapSuren Baghdasaryan2023-04-061-1/+1

Its use in the vm_area_free can cause regressions in the exit path when multiple VMAs are being freed. Because exit_mmap() is called only after the last mm user drops its refcount, the page fault handlers can't be racing with it. Any other possible user like oom-reaper or process_mrelease are already synchronized using mmap_lock. Therefore exit_mmap() can free VMAs directly, without the use of call_rcu(). Expose __vm_area_free() and use it from exit_mmap() to avoid possible call_rcu() floods and performance regressions caused by it.

| * | | | mm: add per-VMA lock and helper functions to control itSuren Baghdasaryan2023-04-061-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce per-VMA locking. The lock implementation relies on a per-vma and per-mm sequence counters to note exclusive locking: - read lock - (implemented by vma_start_read) requires the vma (vm_lock_seq) and mm (mm_lock_seq) sequence counters to differ. If they match then there must be a vma exclusive lock held somewhere. - read unlock - (implemented by vma_end_read) is a trivial vma->lock unlock. - write lock - (vma_start_write) requires the mmap_lock to be held exclusively and the current mm counter is assigned to the vma counter. This will allow multiple vmas to be locked under a single mmap_lock write lock (e.g. during vma merging). The vma counter is modified under exclusive vma lock. - write unlock - (vma_end_write_all) is a batch release of all vma locks held. It doesn't pair with a specific vma_start_write! It is done before exclusive mmap_lock is released by incrementing mm sequence counter (mm_lock_seq). - write downgrade - if the mmap_lock is downgraded to the read lock, all vma write locks are released as well (effectivelly same as write unlock).

| * | | | lazy tlb: shoot lazies, non-refcounting lazy tlb mm reference handling schemeNicholas Piggin2023-03-291-0/+65

Abandoning lazy tlb entirely slows this switching down quite a bit in the common uncontended case, so that is not viable. Implement a scheme where lazy tlb mm references do not contribute to the refcount, instead they get explicitly removed when the refcount reaches zero. The final mmdrop() sends IPIs to all CPUs in the mm_cpumask and they switch away from this mm to init_mm if it was being used as the lazy tlb mm. Enabling the shoot lazies option therefore requires that the arch ensures that mm_cpumask contains all CPUs that could possibly be using mm. A DEBUG_VM option IPIs every CPU in the system after this to ensure there are no references remaining before the mm is freed. Shootdown IPIs cost could be an issue, but they have not been observed to be a serious problem with this scheme, because short-lived processes tend not to migrate CPUs much, therefore they don't get much chance to leave lazy tlb mm references on remote CPUs. There are a lot of options to reduce them if necessary, described in comments. The near-worst-case can be benchmarked with will-it-scale: context_switch1_threads -t $(($(nproc) / 2)) This will create nproc threads (nproc / 2 switching pairs) all sharing the same mm that spread over all CPUs so each CPU does thread->idle->thread switching.

It should be avoided installing a file descriptor into a task's file descriptor table just to close it again via close_fd() in case an error occurs. The fd has been visible to userspace and might already be in use. Instead, a file descriptor should be reserved but not installed into the caller's file descriptor table. If another failure path is hit then the reserved file descriptor and file can just be put without any userspace visible side-effects. And if all failure paths are cleared the file descriptor and file can be installed into the task's file descriptor table. This helper is now used in all places that open coded this functionality before. For example, this is currently done during copy_process() and fanotify used pidfd_create(), which returns a pidfd that has already been made visibile in the caller's file descriptor table, but then closed it using close_fd(). In one of the next merge windows there is also new functionality coming to unix domain sockets that will have to rely on pidfd_prepare()" * tag 'v6.4/pidfd.file' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: fanotify: use pidfd_prepare() fork: use pidfd_prepare() pid: add pidfd_prepare()

That's brittle just for keeping the flags between both calls in sync. Use the dedicated helper.

| |/ / / / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new helper that allows to reserve a pidfd and allocates a new pidfd file that stashes the provided struct pid. This will allow us to remove places that either open code this function or that call pidfd_create() but then have to call close_fd() because there are still failure points after pidfd_create() has been called.
