Presently we start garbage collection late - when we start running
out of free zones to backfill max_open_zones. This is a reasonable
default as it minimizes write amplification. The longer we wait,
the more blocks are invalidated and reclaim cost less in terms
of blocks to relocate.
Starting this late however introduces a risk of GC being outcompeted
by user writes. If GC can't keep up, user writes will be forced to
wait for free zones with high tail latencies as a result.
This is not a problem under normal circumstances, but if fragmentation
is bad and user write pressure is high (multiple full-throttle
writers) we will "bottom out" of free zones.
To mitigate this, introduce a zonegc_low_space tunable that lets the
user specify a percentage of how much of the unused space that GC
should keep available for writing. A high value will reclaim more of
the space occupied by unused blocks, creating a larger buffer against
write bursts.
This comes at a cost as write amplification is increased. To
illustrate this using a sample workload, setting zonegc_low_space to
60% avoids high (500ms) max latencies while increasing write
amplification by 15%.

First of all, using 'mmio' prevents proper implementation of 8-bit accessors.
Second, it's simply inconsistent with uart8250 set of options. Rename it to
'mmio32'. While at it, remove rather misleading comment in the documentation.
From now on mmio32 is self-explanatory and pciserial supports not only 32-bit
MMIO accessors.
Also, while at it, fix the comment for the "pciserial" case. The comment
seems to be a copy'n'paste error when mentioning "serial" instead of
"pciserial" (with double quotes). Fix this.
With that, move it upper, so we don't calculate 'buf' twice.

Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Persistent buffer cleanups and simplifications.
It was mistaken that the physical memory returned from "reserve_mem"
had to be vmap()'d to get to it from a virtual address. But
reserve_mem already maps the memory to the virtual address of the
kernel so a simple phys_to_virt() can be used to get to the virtual
address from the physical memory returned by "reserve_mem". With this
new found knowledge, the code can be cleaned up and simplified.
- Enforce that the persistent memory is page aligned
As the buffers using the persistent memory are all going to be
mapped via pages, make sure that the memory given to the tracing
infrastructure is page aligned. If it is not, it will print a
warning and fail to map the buffer.
- Use phys_to_virt() to get the virtual address from reserve_mem
Instead of calling vmap() on the physical memory returned from
"reserve_mem", use phys_to_virt() instead.
As the memory returned by "memmap" or any other means where a
physical address is given to the tracing infrastructure, it still
needs to be vmap(). Since this memory can never be returned back to
the buddy allocator nor should it ever be memmory mapped to user
space, flag this buffer and up the ref count. The ref count will
keep it from ever being freed, and the flag will prevent it from
ever being memory mapped to user space.
- Use vmap_page_range() for memmap virtual address mapping
For the memmap buffer, instead of allocating an array of struct
pages, assigning them to the contiguous phsycial memory and then
passing that to vmap(), use vmap_page_range() instead
- Replace flush_dcache_folio() with flush_kernel_vmap_range()
Instead of calling virt_to_folio() and passing that to
flush_dcache_folio(), just call flush_kernel_vmap_range() directly.
This also fixes a bug where if a subbuffer was bigger than
PAGE_SIZE only the PAGE_SIZE portion would be flushed"

Introduce two new sysctls, "default_request_timeout" and
"max_request_timeout". These control how long (in seconds) a server can
take to reply to a request. If the server does not reply by the timeout,
then the connection will be aborted. The upper bound on these sysctl
values is 65535.
"default_request_timeout" sets the default timeout if no timeout is
specified by the fuse server on mount. 0 (default) indicates no default
timeout should be enforced. If the server did specify a timeout, then
default_request_timeout will be ignored.
"max_request_timeout" sets the max amount of time the server may take to
reply to a request. 0 (default) indicates no maximum timeout. If
max_request_timeout is set and the fuse server attempts to set a
timeout greater than max_request_timeout, the system will use
max_request_timeout as the timeout. Similarly, if default_request_timeout
is greater than max_request_timeout, the system will use
max_request_timeout as the timeout. If the server does not request a
timeout and default_request_timeout is set to 0 but max_request_timeout
is set, then the timeout will be max_request_timeout.
Please note that these timeouts are not 100% precise. The request may
take roughly an extra FUSE_TIMEOUT_TIMER_FREQ seconds beyond the set max
timeout due to how it's internally implemented.

Add support for HOTPLUG_SMT. With this the s390 specific "nosmt" kernel
command line parameter handling is replaced with common code handling.
This means that just specifying "nosmt" still enables smt from an
architectural point of view, however only the primary (base) cpu can be set
online. Enabling smt during runtime via /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control
allows to set secondary cpus online. This way "nosmt" works like on other
architectures where enabling and disabling smt during runtime is possible.
If "nosmt=force" is specified smt is also still enabled from an
architectural point of view, but there is no way to set secondary cpus
online during runtime, also like on other architectures.
In order to disable smt from architectural point of view, which was
previously achieved with the s390 specific "nosmt" command line option,
"smt=1" can be used.

Pull fwctl subsystem from Jason Gunthorpe:
"fwctl is a new subsystem intended to bring some common rules and order
to the growing pattern of exposing a secure FW interface directly to
userspace.
Unlike existing places like RDMA/DRM/VFIO/uacce that are exposing a
device for datapath operations fwctl is focused on debugging,
configuration and provisioning of the device. It will not have the
necessary features like interrupt delivery to support a datapath.
This concept is similar to the long standing practice in the "HW" RAID
space of having a device specific misc device to manage the RAID
controller FW. fwctl generalizes this notion of a companion debug and
management interface that goes along with a dataplane implemented in
an appropriate subsystem.
There have been three LWN articles written discussing various aspects
of this:
https://lwn.net/Articles/955001/
https://lwn.net/Articles/969383/
https://lwn.net/Articles/990802/
This includes three drivers to launch the subsystem:
- CXL provides a vendor scheme for executing commands and a way to
learn the 'command effects' (ie the security properties) of such
commands. The fwctl driver allows access to these mechanism within
the fwctl security model
- mlx5 is family of networking products, the driver supports all
current Mellanox HW still receiving FW feature updates. This
includes RDMA multiprotocol NICs like ConnectX and the Bluefield
family of Smart NICs.
- AMD/Pensando Distributed Services card is a multi protocol Smart
NIC with a multi PCI function design. fwctl works on the management
PCI function following a 'command effects' model similar to CXL"

Calling verity_verify_io in bh for IO of all sizes is not suitable for
embedded devices. From our tests, it can improve the performance of 4K
synchronise random reads.
For example:
./fio --name=rand_read --ioengine=psync --rw=randread --bs=4K \
--direct=1 --numjobs=8 --runtime=60 --time_based --group_reporting \
--filename=/dev/block/mapper/xx-verity
But it will degrade the performance of 512K synchronise sequential reads
on our devices.
For example:
./fio --name=read --ioengine=psync --rw=read --bs=512K --direct=1 \
--numjobs=8 --runtime=60 --time_based --group_reporting \
--filename=/dev/block/mapper/xx-verity
A parameter array is introduced by this change. And users can modify the
default config by /sys/module/dm_verity/parameters/use_bh_bytes.
The default limits for NONE/RT/BE is set to 8192.
The default limits for IDLE is set to 0.
Call verity_verify_io directly when verity_end_io is not in hardirq.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Add option traceoff_after_boot
In order to debug kernel boot, it sometimes is helpful to enable
tracing via the kernel command line. Unfortunately, by the time the
login prompt appears, the trace is overwritten by the init process
and other user space start up applications.
Adding a "traceoff_after_boot" will disable tracing when the kernel
passes control to init which will allow developers to be able to see
the traces that occurred during boot.
- Clean up the mmflags macros that display the GFP flags in trace
events
The macros to print the GFP flags for trace events had a bit of
duplication. The code was restructured to remove duplication and in
the process it also adds some flags that were missed before.
- Removed some dead code and scripts/draw_functrace.py
draw_functrace.py hasn't worked in years and as nobody complained
about it, remove it.
- Constify struct event_trigger_ops
The event_trigger_ops is just a structure that has function pointers
that are assigned when the variables are created. These variables
should all be constants.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These are dominated by cpufreq updates which in turn are dominated by
updates related to boost support in the core and drivers and
amd-pstate driver optimizations.
Apart from the above, there are some cpuidle updates including a
rework of the most recent idle intervals handling in the venerable
menu governor that leads to significant improvements in some
performance benchmarks, as the governor is now more likely to predict
a shorter idle duration in some cases, and there are updates of the
core device power management code, mostly related to system suspend
and resume, that should help to avoid potential issues arising when
the drivers of devices depending on one another want to use different
optimizations.
There is also a usual collection of assorted fixes and cleanups,
including removal of some unused code.
Specifics:
- Manage sysfs attributes and boost frequencies efficiently from
cpufreq core to reduce boilerplate code in drivers (Viresh Kumar)
- Minor cleanups to cpufreq drivers (Aaron Kling, Benjamin Schneider,
Dhananjay Ugwekar, Imran Shaik, zuoqian)
- Migrate some cpufreq drivers to using for_each_present_cpu() (Jacky
Bai)
- cpufreq-qcom-hw DT binding fixes (Krzysztof Kozlowski)
- Use str_enable_disable() helper in cpufreq_online() (Lifeng Zheng)
- Optimize the amd-pstate driver to avoid cases where call paths end
up calling the same writes multiple times and needlessly caching
variables through code reorganization, locking overhaul and tracing
adjustments (Mario Limonciello, Dhananjay Ugwekar)
- Make it possible to avoid enabling capacity-aware scheduling (CAS)
in the intel_pstate driver and relocate a check for out-of-band
(OOB) platform handling in it to make it detect OOB before checking
HWP availability (Rafael Wysocki)
- Fix dbs_update() to avoid inadvertent conversions of negative
integer values to unsigned int which causes CPU frequency selection
to be inaccurate in some cases when the "conservative" cpufreq
governor is in use (Jie Zhan)
- Update the handling of the most recent idle intervals in the menu
cpuidle governor to prevent useful information from being discarded
by it in some cases and improve the prediction accuracy (Rafael
Wysocki)
- Make it possible to tell the intel_idle driver to ignore its
built-in table of idle states for the given processor, clean up the
handling of auto-demotion disabling on Baytrail and Cherrytrail
chips in it, and update its MAINTAINERS entry (David Arcari, Artem
Bityutskiy, Rafael Wysocki)
- Make some cpuidle drivers use for_each_present_cpu() instead of
for_each_possible_cpu() during initialization to avoid issues

Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"From the functional perspective, the most significant changes here are
the ACPI fan driver update allowing it to handle fans with
fine-grained state checking supported, but without fine-grained
control, and the ACPI button driver update making it subscribe to
system event notifications (in addition to device notifications) which
on some systems is requisite for waking up the system from sleep.
The rest is fixes and cleanups including removal of some dead code.
Specifics:
- Use the str_on_off() helper function instead of hard-coded strings
in the ACPI power resources handling code (Thorsten Blum)
- Add fan speed reporting for ACPI fans that have _FST, but otherwise
do not support the entire ACPI 4 fan interface (Joshua Grisham)

that diverged from the commented code after removing _CRT
evaluation from acpi_thermal_get_trip_points() (xueqin Luo)
- Make ACPI button driver also subscribe to system events (Mario
Limonciello)
- Use the str_yes_no() helper function instead of hard-coded strings
in the ACPI backlight (video) driver (Thorsten Blum)
- Add a missing header file include to the x86 arch CPPC code (Mario
Limonciello)
- Rework the sysfs attributes implementation in the ACPI
platform-profile driver and improve the unregistration code in it
(Nathan Chancellor, Kurt Borja)
- Prevent the ACPI HED driver from being built as a module and change
its initcall level to subsys_initcall to avoid initialization
ordering issues related to it (Xiaofei Tan)
- Update a maintainer email address in the ACPI PMIC entry in
MAINTAINERS (Mika Westerberg)
- Address a GCC 15's -Wunterminated-string-initialization warning in
the core PNP subsystem code and remove some dead code from it (Kees
Cook, David Alan Gilbert)"

"Nothing major this time around.
Apart from the usual perf/PMU updates, some page table cleanups, the
notable features are average CPU frequency based on the AMUv1
counters, CONFIG_HOTPLUG_SMT and MOPS instructions (memcpy/memset) in
the uaccess routines.
Perf and PMUs:
- Support for the 'Rainier' CPU PMU from Arm
- Preparatory driver changes and cleanups that pave the way for BRBE
support
- Support for partial virtualisation of the Apple-M1 PMU
- Support for the second event filter in Arm CSPMU designs
- Minor fixes and cleanups (CMN and DWC PMUs)
- Enable EL2 requirements for FEAT_PMUv3p9
Power, CPU topology:
- Support for AMUv1-based average CPU frequency
- Run-time SMT control wired up for arm64 (CONFIG_HOTPLUG_SMT). It

x86 and powerpc
New(ish) features:
- MOPS (memcpy/memset) support for the uaccess routines
Security/confidential compute:
- Fix the DMA address for devices used in Realms with Arm CCA. The
CCA architecture uses the address bit to differentiate between
shared and private addresses
- Spectre-BHB: assume CPUs Linux doesn't know about vulnerable by
default
Memory management clean-ups:
- Drop the P*D_TABLE_BIT definition in preparation for 128-bit PTEs

During the bring-up of an x86 board, the kernel was crashing before
reaching the platform's console driver because of a bug in the firmware,
leaving no trace of the boot progress.
The only available method to debug the kernel boot process was via the
platform's MMIO-based UART, as the board lacked an I/O port-based UART,
PCI UART, or functional video output.
Then it turned out that earlyprintk= does not have a knob to configure
the MMIO-mapped UART.
Extend the early printk facility to support platform MMIO-based UARTs
on x86 systems, enabling debugging during the system bring-up phase.
The command line syntax to enable platform MMIO-based UART is:
earlyprintk=mmio,membase[,{nocfg|baudrate}][,keep]
Note, the change does not integrate MMIO-based UART support to:
arch/x86/boot/early_serial_console.c
Also, update kernel parameters documentation with the new syntax and
add the missing 'nocfg' setting to the PCI serial cards description.

Pull RCU updates from Boqun Feng:
"Documentation:
- Add broken-timing possibility to stallwarn.rst
- Improve discussion of this_cpu_ptr(), add raw_cpu_ptr()
- Document self-propagating callbacks
- Point call_srcu() to call_rcu() for detailed memory ordering
- Add CONFIG_RCU_LAZY delays to call_rcu() kernel-doc header
- Clarify RCU_LAZY and RCU_LAZY_DEFAULT_OFF help text
- Remove references to old grace-period-wait primitives
srcu:
- Introduce srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast(), which is similar to
srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite(): avoid smp_mb()s in lock and unlock
at the cost of calling synchronize_rcu() in synchronize_srcu()
Moreover, by returning the percpu offset of the counter at
srcu_read_lock_fast() time, srcu_read_unlock_fast() can avoid
extra pointer dereferencing, which makes it faster than
srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite()
srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast() are intended to replace
rcu_read_{un,}lock_trace() if possible
RCU torture:
- Add get_torture_init_jiffies() to return the start time of the test
- Add a test_boost_holdoff module parameter to allow delaying
boosting tests when building rcutorture as built-in
- Add grace period sequence number logging at the beginning and end
of failure/close-call results
- Switch to hexadecimal for the expedited grace period sequence
number in the rcu_exp_grace_period trace point
- Make cur_ops->format_gp_seqs take buffer length
- Move RCU_TORTURE_TEST_{CHK_RDR_STATE,LOG_CPU} to bool
- Complain when invalid SRCU reader_flavor is specified
- Add FORCE_NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE Kconfig for testing, which forces SRCU
uses atomics even when percpu ops are NMI safe, and use the Kconfig
for SRCU lockdep testing
Misc:
- Split rcu_report_exp_cpu_mult() mask parameter and use for tracing
- Remove READ_ONCE() for rdp->gpwrap access in __note_gp_changes()
- Fix get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() GP-start detection
- Move RCU Tasks self-tests to core_initcall()

- rcu: Rename PREEMPT_AUTO to PREEMPT_LAZY
- Update __cond_resched comment about RCU quiescent states
- Handle unstable rdp in rcu_read_unlock_strict()
- Handle quiescent states for PREEMPT_RCU=n, PREEMPT_COUNT=y
- osnoise: Provide quiescent states
- Adjust rcutorture with possible PREEMPT_RCU=n && PREEMPT_COUNT=y

Merge cpuidle updates for 6.15-rc5, including a menu governor update
that is reported to improve some benchmark results quite significantly:
- Update the handling of the most recent idle intervals in the menu
cpuidle governor to prevent useful information from being discarded
by it in some cases and improve the prediction accuracy (Rafael
Wysocki).
- Make it possible to tell the intel_idle driver to ignore its built-in
table of idle states for the given processor, clean up the handling
of auto-demotion disabling on Baytrail and Cherrytrail chips in it,
and update its MAINTAINERS entry (David Arcari, Artem Bityutskiy,
Rafael Wysocki).
- Make some cpuidle drivers use for_each_present_cpu() instead of
for_each_possible_cpu() during initialization to avoid issues
occurring when nosmp or maxcpus=0 are used (Jacky Bai).

cpufreq core to reduce boilerplate code from drivers (Viresh Kumar).
- Minor cleanups to cpufreq drivers (Aaron Kling, Benjamin Schneider,

- cpufreq-qcom-hw DT binding fixes (Krzysztof Kozlowski).
- Use str_enable_disable() helper in cpufreq_online() (Lifeng Zheng).
- Optimize the amd-pstate driver to avoid cases where call paths end
up calling the same writes multiple times and needlessly caching
variables through code reorganization, locking overhaul and tracing
adjustments (Mario Limonciello, Dhananjay Ugwekar).
- Make it possible to avoid enabling capacity-aware scheduling (CAS) in
the intel_pstate driver and relocate a check for out-of-band (OOB)
platform handling in it to make it detect OOB before checking HWP
availability (Rafael Wysocki).
- Fix dbs_update() to avoid inadvertent conversions of negative integer

Patch series "Adding Proactive Memory Reclaim Statistics".
These two patches are related to proactive memory reclaim.
Patch 1 Split proactive reclaim statistics from direct reclaim counters
and introduces new counters: pgsteal_proactive, pgdemote_proactive,
and pgscan_proactive.
Patch 2 Adds pswpin and pswpout items to the cgroup-v2 documentation.
This patch (of 2):
In proactive memory reclaim scenarios, it is necessary to accurately track
proactive reclaim statistics to dynamically adjust the frequency and
amount of memory being reclaimed proactively. Currently, proactive
reclaim is included in direct reclaim statistics, which can make these
direct reclaim statistics misleading.
Therefore, separate proactive reclaim memory from the direct reclaim
counters by introducing new counters: pgsteal_proactive,
pgdemote_proactive, and pgscan_proactive, to avoid confusion with direct
reclaim.

Commit 779dbc2e78d7 ("printk: Avoid non-panic CPUs writing to ringbuffer")
aimed to isolate panic-related messages. However, when panic() itself
malfunctions, messages from non-panic CPUs become crucial for debugging.
While commit bcc954c6caba ("printk/panic: Allow cpu backtraces to
be written into ringbuffer during panic") enables non-panic CPU
backtraces, it may not provide sufficient diagnostic information.
Introduce the "debug_non_panic_cpus" command-line option, enabling
non-panic CPU messages to be stored in the ring buffer during a panic.
This also prevents discarding non-finalized messages from non-panic CPUs
during console flushing, providing a more comprehensive view of system
state during critical failures.

The affected CPU table (cpu_vuln_blacklist) marks Alderlake and Raptorlake
P-only parts affected by RFDS. This is not true because only E-cores are
affected by RFDS. With the current family/model matching it is not possible
to differentiate the unaffected parts, as the affected and unaffected
hybrid variants have the same model number.
Add a cpu-type match as well for such parts so as to exclude P-only parts
being marked as affected.
Note, family/model and cpu-type enumeration could be inaccurate in
virtualized environments. In a guest affected status is decided by RFDS_NO
and RFDS_CLEAR bits exposed by VMMs.

The page allocator groups requests by migratetype to stave off
fragmentation. However, in practice this is routinely defeated by the
fact that it gives up *before* invoking reclaim and compaction - which may
well produce suitable pages. As a result, fragmentation of physical
memory is a common ongoing process in many load scenarios.
Fragmentation deteriorates compaction's ability to produce huge pages.
Depending on the lifetime of the fragmenting allocations, those effects
can be long-lasting or even permanent, requiring drastic measures like
forcible idle states or even reboots as the only reliable ways to recover
the address space for THP production.
In a kernel build test with supplemental THP pressure, the THP allocation
rate steadily declines over 15 runs:
thp_fault_alloc
61988
56474
57258
50187
52388
55409
52925
47648
43669
40621
36077
41721
36685
34641
33215
This is a hurdle in adopting THP in any environment where hosts are shared
between multiple overlapping workloads (cloud environments), and rarely
experience true idle periods. To make THP a reliable and predictable
optimization, there needs to be a stronger guarantee to avoid such
fragmentation.
Introduce defrag_mode. When enabled, reclaim/compaction is invoked to its
full extent *before* falling back. Specifically, ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT is
enforced on the allocator fastpath and the reclaiming slowpath.
For now, fallbacks are permitted to avert OOMs. There is a plan to add
defrag_mode=2 to prefer OOMs over fragmentation, but this requires
additional prep work in compaction and the reserve management to make it
ready for all possible allocation contexts.
The following test results are from a kernel build with periodic bursts of
THP allocations, over 15 runs:
vanilla defrag_mode=1
@claimer[unmovable]: 189 103
@claimer[movable]: 92 103
@claimer[reclaimable]: 207 61
@pollute[unmovable from movable]: 25 0
@pollute[unmovable from reclaimable]: 28 0
@pollute[movable from unmovable]: 38835 0
@pollute[movable from reclaimable]: 147136 0
@pollute[reclaimable from unmovable]: 178 0
@pollute[reclaimable from movable]: 33 0
@steal[unmovable from movable]: 11 0
@steal[unmovable from reclaimable]: 5 0
@steal[reclaimable from unmovable]: 107 0
@steal[reclaimable from movable]: 90 0
@steal[movable from reclaimable]: 354 0
@steal[movable from unmovable]: 130 0
Both types of polluting fallbacks are eliminated in this workload.
Interestingly, whole block conversions are reduced as well. This is
because once a block is claimed for a type, its empty space remains
available for future allocations, instead of being padded with fallbacks;
this allows the native type to group up instead of spreading out to new
blocks. The assumption in the allocator has been that pollution from
movable allocations is less harmful than from other types, since they can
be reclaimed or migrated out should the space be needed. However, since
fallbacks occur *before* reclaim/compaction is invoked, movable pollution
will still cause non-movable allocations to spread out and claim more
blocks.
Without fragmentation, THP rates hold steady with defrag_mode=1:
thp_fault_alloc
32478
20725
45045
32130
14018
21711
40791
29134
34458
45381
28305
17265
22584
28454
30850
While the downward trend is eliminated, the keen reader will of course
notice that the baseline rate is much smaller than the vanilla kernel's to
begin with. This is due to deficiencies in how reclaim and compaction are
currently driven: ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT increases the extent to which smaller
allocations are competing with THPs for pageblocks, while making no effort
themselves to reclaim or compact beyond their own request size. This
effect already exists with the current usage of ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT, but is
amplified by defrag_mode insisting on whole block stealing much more
strongly.
Subsequent patches will address defrag_mode reclaim strategy to raise the
THP success baseline above the vanilla kernel.

(CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT)
Everything is in place to stop using the per-page mapcounts in large
folios: the mapcount of tail pages will always be logically 0 (-1 value),
just like it currently is for hugetlb folios already, and the page
mapcount of the head page is either 0 (-1 value) or contains a page type
(e.g., hugetlb).
Maintaining _nr_pages_mapped without per-page mapcounts is impossible, so
that one also has to go with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT.
There are two remaining implications:
(1) Per-node, per-cgroup and per-lruvec stats of "NR_ANON_MAPPED"
("mapped anonymous memory") and "NR_FILE_MAPPED"
("mapped file memory"):
As soon as any page of the folio is mapped -- folio_mapped() -- we
now account the complete folio as mapped. Once the last page is
unmapped -- !folio_mapped() -- we account the complete folio as
unmapped.
This implies that ...
* "AnonPages" and "Mapped" in /proc/meminfo and
/sys/devices/system/node/*/meminfo
* cgroup v2: "anon" and "file_mapped" in "memory.stat" and
"memory.numa_stat"
* cgroup v1: "rss" and "mapped_file" in "memory.stat" and
"memory.numa_stat
... can now appear higher than before. But note that these folios do
consume that memory, simply not all pages are actually currently
mapped.
It's worth nothing that other accounting in the kernel (esp. cgroup
charging on allocation) is not affected by this change.
[why oh why is "anon" called "rss" in cgroup v1]
(2) Detecting partial mappings
Detecting whether anon THPs are partially mapped gets a bit more
unreliable. As long as a single MM maps such a large folio
("exclusively mapped"), we can reliably detect it. Especially before
fork() / after a short-lived child process quit, we will detect
partial mappings reliably, which is the common case.
In essence, if the average per-page mapcount in an anon THP is < 1,
we know for sure that we have a partial mapping.
However, as soon as multiple MMs are involved, we might miss detecting
partial mappings: this might be relevant with long-lived child
processes. If we have a fully-mapped anon folio before fork(), once
our child processes and our parent all unmap (zap/COW) the same pages
(but not the complete folio), we might not detect the partial mapping.
However, once the child processes quit we would detect the partial
mapping.
How relevant this case is in practice remains to be seen.
Swapout/migration will likely mitigate this.
In the future, RMAP walkers could check for that for that case
(e.g., when collecting access bits during reclaim) and simply flag
them for deferred-splitting.

(CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT)
Let's implement an alternative when per-page mapcounts in large folios are
no longer maintained -- soon with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT.
PM_MMAP_EXCLUSIVE will now be set if folio_likely_mapped_shared() is true
-- when the folio is considered "mapped shared", including when it once
was "mapped shared" but no longer is, as documented.
This might result in and under-indication of "exclusively mapped", which
is considered better than over-indicating it: under-estimating the USS
(Unique Set Size) is better than over-estimating it.
As an alternative, we could simply remove that flag with
CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT completely, but there might be value to it. So,
let's keep it like that and document the behavior.
