2021-09-05ip/ip6_gre: use the same logic as SIT interfaces when computing v6LL addressAntonio Quartulli
GRE interfaces are not Ether-like and therefore it is not possible to generate the v6LL address the same way as (for example) GRETAP devices. With default settings, a GRE interface will attempt generating its v6LL address using the EUI64 approach, but this will fail when the local endpoint of the GRE tunnel is set to "any". In this case the GRE interface will end up with no v6LL address, thus violating RFC4291. SIT interfaces already implement a different logic to ensure that a v6LL address is always computed. Change the GRE v6LL generation logic to follow the same approach as SIT. This way GRE interfaces will always have a v6LL address as well. Behaviour of GRETAP interfaces has not been changed as they behave like classic Ether-like interfaces. To avoid code duplication sit_add_v4_addrs() has been renamed to add_v4_addrs() and adapted to handle also the IP6GRE/GRE cases.

2021-09-05net: stmmac: Fix overall budget calculation for rxtx_napiSong Yoong Siang
tx_done is not used for napi_complete_done(). Thus, NAPI busy polling mechanism by gro_flush_timeout and napi_defer_hard_irqs will not able be triggered after a packet is transmitted when there is no receive packet. Fix this by taking the maximum value between tx_done and rx_done as overall budget completed by the rxtx NAPI poll to ensure XDP Tx ZC operation is continuously polling for next Tx frame. This gives benefit of lower packet submission processing latency and jitter under XDP Tx ZC mode. Performance of tx-only using xdp-sock on Intel ADL-S platform is the same with and without this patch. root@intel-corei7-64:~# ./xdpsock -i enp0s30f4 -t -z -q 1 -n 10 sock0@enp0s30f4:1 txonly xdp-drv pps pkts 10.00 rx 0 0 tx 511630 8659520 sock0@enp0s30f4:1 txonly xdp-drv pps pkts 10.00 rx 0 0 tx 511625 13775808 sock0@enp0s30f4:1 txonly xdp-drv pps pkts 10.00 rx 0 0 tx 511619 18892032 Fixes: 132c32ee5bc0 ("net: stmmac: Add TX via XDP zero-copy socket") Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 5.13.x Co-developed-by: Ong Boon Leong <boon.leong.ong@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ong Boon Leong <boon.leong.ong@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Song Yoong Siang <yoong.siang.song@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2021-09-03loop: reduce the loop_ctl_mutex scopeTetsuo Handa
syzbot is reporting circular locking problem at __loop_clr_fd() [1], for commit a160c6159d4a0cf8 ("block: add an optional probe callback to major_names") is calling the module's probe function with major_names_lock held. Fortunately, since commit 990e78116d38059c ("block: loop: fix deadlock between open and remove") stopped holding loop_ctl_mutex in lo_open(), current role of loop_ctl_mutex is to serialize access to loop_index_idr and loop_add()/loop_remove(); in other words, management of id for IDR. To avoid holding loop_ctl_mutex during whole add/remove operation, use a bool flag to indicate whether the loop device is ready for use. loop_unregister_transfer() which is called from cleanup_cryptoloop() currently has possibility of use-after-free problem due to lack of serialization between kfree() from loop_remove() from loop_control_remove() and mutex_lock() from unregister_transfer_cb(). But since lo->lo_encryption should be already NULL when this function is called due to module unload, and commit 222013f9ac30b9ce ("cryptoloop: add a deprecation warning") indicates that we will remove this function shortly, this patch updates this function to emit warning instead of checking lo->lo_encryption. Holding loop_ctl_mutex in loop_exit() is pointless, for all users must close /dev/loop-control and /dev/loop$num (in order to drop module's refcount to 0) before loop_exit() starts, and nobody can open /dev/loop-control or /dev/loop$num afterwards.

2021-09-03mm/madvise: add MADV_WILLNEED to process_madvise()zhangkui
There is a usecase in Android that an app process's memory is swapped out by process_madvise() with MADV_PAGEOUT, such as the memory is swapped to zram or a backing device. When the process is scheduled to running, like switch to foreground, multiple page faults may cause the app dropped frames. To reduce the problem, System Management Software can read-ahead memory of the process immediately when the app switches to forground. Calling process_madvise() with MADV_WILLNEED can meet this need.

2021-09-03selftests: vm: add COW time test for KSM pagesZhansaya Bagdauletkyzy
Since merged pages are copied every time they need to be modified, the write access time is different between shared and non-shared pages. Add ksm_cow_time() function which evaluates latency of these COW breaks. First, 4000 pages are allocated and the time, required to modify 1 byte in every other page, is measured. After this, the pages are merged into 2000 pairs and in each pair, 1 page is modified (i.e. they are decoupled) to detect COW breaks. The time needed to break COW of merged pages is then compared with performance of non-shared pages. The test is run as follows: ./ksm_tests -C The output: Total size: 15 MiB Not merged pages: Total time: 0.002185489 s Average speed: 3202.945 MiB/s Merged pages: Total time: 0.004386872 s Average speed: 1595.670 MiB/s Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1d03ee0d1b341959d4b61672c6401d498bff5652.1629386192.git.zhansayabagdaulet@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Zhansaya Bagdauletkyzy <zhansayabagdaulet@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@linux.microsoft.com> Reviewed-by: Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@soleen.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Patch series "add KSM selftests". Introduce selftests to validate the functionality of KSM. The tests are run on private anonymous pages. Since some KSM tunables are modified, their starting values are saved and restored after testing. At the start, run is set to 2 to ensure that only test pages will be merged (we assume that no applications make madvise syscalls in the background). If KSM config not enabled, all tests will be skipped. This patch (of 4): Add check_ksm_merge() function to check the basic merging feature of KSM. First, some number of identical pages are allocated and the MADV_MERGEABLE advice is given to merge these pages. Then, pages_shared and pages_sharing values are compared with the expected numbers using assert_ksm_pages_count() function. The number of pages can be changed using -p option.

2021-09-03mm: introduce process_mrelease system callSuren Baghdasaryan
In modern systems it's not unusual to have a system component monitoring memory conditions of the system and tasked with keeping system memory pressure under control. One way to accomplish that is to kill non-essential processes to free up memory for more important ones. Examples of this are Facebook's OOM killer daemon called oomd and Android's low memory killer daemon called lmkd. For such system component it's important to be able to free memory quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately the time process takes to free up its memory after receiving a SIGKILL might vary based on the state of the process (uninterruptible sleep), size and OPP level of the core the process is running. A mechanism to free resources of the target process in a more predictable way would improve system's ability to control its memory pressure. Introduce process_mrelease system call that releases memory of a dying process from the context of the caller. This way the memory is freed in a more controllable way with CPU affinity and priority of the caller. The workload of freeing the memory will also be charged to the caller. The operation is allowed only on a dying process. After previous discussions [1, 2, 3] the decision was made [4] to introduce a dedicated system call to cover this use case. The API is as follows, int process_mrelease(int pidfd, unsigned int flags); DESCRIPTION The process_mrelease() system call is used to free the memory of an exiting process. The pidfd selects the process referred to by the PID file descriptor. (See pidfd_open(2) for further information) The flags argument is reserved for future use; currently, this argument must be specified as 0. RETURN VALUE On success, process_mrelease() returns 0. On error, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS EBADF pidfd is not a valid PID file descriptor. EAGAIN Failed to release part of the address space. EINTR The call was interrupted by a signal; see signal(7). EINVAL flags is not 0.

2021-09-03memblock: make memblock_find_in_range method privateMike Rapoport
There are a lot of uses of memblock_find_in_range() along with memblock_reserve() from the times memblock allocation APIs did not exist. memblock_find_in_range() is the very core of memblock allocations, so any future changes to its internal behaviour would mandate updates of all the users outside memblock. Replace the calls to memblock_find_in_range() with an equivalent calls to memblock_phys_alloc() and memblock_phys_alloc_range() and make memblock_find_in_range() private method of memblock. This simplifies the callers, ensures that (unlikely) errors in memblock_reserve() are handled and improves maintainability of memblock_find_in_range().

2021-09-03mm/mempolicy: advertise new MPOL_PREFERRED_MANYBen Widawsky
Adds a new mode to the existing mempolicy modes, MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY. MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY will be adequately documented in the internal admin-guide with this patch. Eventually, the man pages for mbind(2), get_mempolicy(2), set_mempolicy(2) and numactl(8) will also have text about this mode. Those shall contain the canonical reference. NUMA systems continue to become more prevalent. New technologies like PMEM make finer grain control over memory access patterns increasingly desirable. MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY allows userspace to specify a set of nodes that will be tried first when performing allocations. If those allocations fail, all remaining nodes will be tried. It's a straight forward API which solves many of the presumptive needs of system administrators wanting to optimize workloads on such machines. The mode will work either per VMA, or per thread.
