This patch implements deduplication feature in zram. The purpose
of this work is naturally to save amount of memory usage by zram.

Android is one of the biggest users to use zram as swap and it's
really important to save amount of memory usage. There is a paper
that reports that duplication ratio of Android's memory content is
rather high [1]. And, there is a similar work on zswap that also
reports that experiments has shown that around 10-15% of pages
stored in zswp are duplicates and deduplicate them provides some
benefits [2].

Also, there is a different kind of workload that uses zram as blockdev
and store build outputs into it to reduce wear-out problem of real
blockdev. In this workload, deduplication hit is very high due to
temporary files and intermediate object files. Detailed analysis is
on the bottom of this description.

Anyway, if we can detect duplicated content and avoid to store duplicated
content at different memory space, we can save memory. This patch
tries to do that.

Implementation is almost simple and intuitive but I should note
one thing about implementation detail.

To check duplication, this patch uses checksum of the page and
collision of this checksum could be possible. There would be
many choices to handle this situation but this patch chooses
to allow entry with duplicated checksum to be added to the hash,
but, not to compare all entries with duplicated checksum
when checking duplication. I guess that checksum collision is quite
rare event and we don't need to pay any attention to such a case.
Therefore, I decided the most simplest way to implement the feature.
If there is a different opinion, I can accept and go that way.

Following is the result of this patch.

Test result #1 (Swap):
Android Marshmallow, emulator, x86_64, Backporting to kernel v3.18

orig_data_size: 145297408
compr_data_size: 32408125
mem_used_total: 32276480
dup_data_size: 3188134
meta_data_size: 1444272

Last two metrics added to mm_stat are related to this work.
First one, dup_data_size, is amount of saved memory by avoiding
to store duplicated page. Later one, meta_data_size, is the amount of
data structure to support deduplication. If dup > meta, we can judge
that the patch improves memory usage.

In Adnroid, we can save 5% of memory usage by this work.

Test result #2 (Blockdev):

There is no performance degradation and save 23% memory.

It shows performance degradation roughly 13% and save 24% memory. Maybe,
it is due to overhead of calculating checksum and comparison.

Memory is saved by 42% and performance is the same. Even if there is overhead
of calculating checksum and comparison, large hit ratio compensate it since
hit leads to less compression attempt.

I checked the detailed reason of savings on kernel build workload and
there are some cases that deduplication happens.

1) *.cmd
Build command is usually similar in one directory so content of these file
are very similar. In my system, more than 789 lines in fs/ext4/.namei.o.cmd
and fs/ext4/.inode.o.cmd are the same in 944 and 938 lines of the file,
respectively.

2) intermediate object files
built-in.o and temporary object file have the similar contents. More than
50% of fs/ext4/ext4.o is the same with fs/ext4/built-in.o.

3) vmlinux
.tmp_vmlinux1 and .tmp_vmlinux2 and arch/x86/boo/compressed/vmlinux.bin
have the similar contents.

Android test has similar case that some of object files(.class
and .so) are similar with another ones.
(./host/linux-x86/lib/libartd.so and
./host/linux-x86-lib/libartd-comiler.so)

Anyway, benefit seems to be largely dependent on the workload so
following patch will make this feature optional. However, this feature
can help some usecases so is deserved to be merged.

devres_release_all() <- __device_release_driver(), and that mdiobus was
not previously unregistered.

The mv88e6xxx is an MDIO device, so the initial set of constraints that
I thought would cause this (I2C or SPI buses which call ->remove on
->shutdown) do not apply. But there is one more which applies here.

If the DSA master itself is on a bus that calls ->remove from ->shutdown
(like dpaa2-eth, which is on the fsl-mc bus), there is a device link
between the switch and the DSA master, and device_links_unbind_consumers()
will unbind the Marvell switch driver on shutdown.

So the same treatment must be applied to all DSA switch drivers, which
is: either use devres for both the mdiobus allocation and registration,
or don't use devres at all.

The Marvell driver already has a good structure for mdiobus removal, so
just plug in mdiobus_free and get rid of devres.

In this example a slab allocation from __send_signal() caused a
refilling and draining of a percpu objcg stock, resulted in a releasing
of another non-related objcg.  Objcg release path requires taking the
css_set_lock, which is used to synchronize objcg lists.

This can create a circular dependency with the sighandler lock, which is
taken with the locked css_set_lock by the freezer code (to freeze a
task).

In general it seems that using css_set_lock to synchronize objcg lists
makes any slab allocations and deallocation with the locked css_set_lock
and any intervened locks risky.

To fix the problem and make the code more robust let's stop using
css_set_lock to synchronize objcg lists and use a new dedicated spinlock
instead.

The reproducer was trying to read /proc/$PID/smaps when calling
MADV_FREE at the mean time.  MADV_FREE may split THPs if it is called
for partial THP.  It may trigger the below race:

           CPU A                         CPU B
           -----                         -----
  smaps walk:                      MADV_FREE:
  page_mapcount()
    PageCompound()
                                   split_huge_page()
    page = compound_head(page)
    PageDoubleMap(page)

When calling PageDoubleMap() this page is not a tail page of THP anymore
so the BUG is triggered.

This could be fixed by elevated refcount of the page before calling
mapcount, but that would prevent it from counting migration entries, and
it seems overkilling because the race just could happen when PMD is
split so all PTE entries of tail pages are actually migration entries,
and smaps_account() does treat migration entries as mapcount == 1 as
Kirill pointed out.

Add a new parameter for smaps_account() to tell this entry is migration
entry then skip calling page_mapcount().  Don't skip getting mapcount
for device private entries since they do track references with mapcount.

Pagemap also has the similar issue although it was not reported.  Fixed
it as well.

commit 2787710 upstream.

I'm was on the receiving end of a lockdep splat from this driver and after
scratching my head I couldn't be entirely sure it was a false positive
given we would also have to think about whether the regulator locking is
safe (since the notifier is called whilst holding regulator locks which
are also needed for regulator_is_enabled() ).

Regardless of whether it is a real bug or not, the mutex isn't needed.
We can use reference counting tricks instead to avoid races with the
notifier calls.

The observed splat follows:

The call sequence suggested that misc_device /dev file can be opened
before misc device is yet to be registered, which is done only once.

Here punit_misc_dev_lock was used as common lock, to protect the
registration by multiple ISST HW drivers, one time setup, prevent
duplicate registry of misc device and prevent load/unload when device
is open.

We can split into locks:
- One which just prevent duplicate call to misc_register() and one
time setup. Also never call again if the misc_register() failed or
required one time setup is failed. This lock is not shared with
any misc device callbacks.

- The other lock protects registry, load and unload of HW drivers.

Sequence in isst_if_cdev_register()
- Register callbacks under punit_misc_dev_open_lock
- Call isst_misc_reg() which registers misc_device on the first
registry which is under punit_misc_dev_reg_lock, which is not
shared with callbacks.

Sequence in isst_if_cdev_unregister
Just opposite of isst_if_cdev_register

commit 26394fc upstream.

Some time ago 8965779 ("ipv6,mcast: always hold idev->lock before mca_lock")
switched ipv6_get_lladdr() to __ipv6_get_lladdr(), which is rcu-unsafe
version. That was OK, because idev->lock was held for these codepaths.

In 88e2ca3 ("mld: convert ifmcaddr6 to RCU") these external locks were
removed, so we probably need to restore the original rcu-safe call.

Otherwise, we occasionally get a machine crashed/stalled with the following

One way to solve this problem is to move the fd_install() call out of
the sighand->siglock critical section.

Before commit 6fd2fe4 ("copy_process(): don't use ksys_close()
on cleanups"), the pidfd installation was done without holding both
the task_list lock and the sighand->siglock. Obviously, holding these
two locks are not really needed to protect the fd_install() call.
So move the fd_install() call down to after the releases of both locks.

The corrupted leaf of device tree has an inode item. The leaf passed
checksum and others checks in validate_extent_buffer until check_leaf_item().
Because of the key type BTRFS_INODE_ITEM, check_inode_item() is called even we
are in the device tree. Since the
item offset + sizeof(struct btrfs_inode_item) > eb->len, out-of-bounds access
is triggered.

The item end vs leaf boundary check has been done before
check_leaf_item(), so fix it by checking item size in check_inode_item()
before access of the inode item in extent buffer.

Other check functions except check_dev_item() in check_leaf_item()
have their item size checks.
The commit for check_dev_item() is followed.

No regression observed during running fstests.

commit 741b23a upstream.

Compressed length can be corrupted to be a lot larger than memory
we have allocated for buffer.
This will cause memcpy in copy_compressed_segment to write outside
of allocated memory.

This mostly results in stuck read syscall but sometimes when using
btrfs send can get #GP

commit 22e2100 upstream.

The trace_hardirqs_{on,off}() require the caller to setup frame pointer
properly. This because these two functions use macro 'CALLER_ADDR1' (aka.
__builtin_return_address(1)) to acquire caller info. If the $fp is used
for other purpose, the code generated this macro (as below) could trigger
memory access fault.

This because the $fp(aka. $s0) register is not used as frame pointer in the
assembly entry code.

To fix above issue, here we add one extra level wrapper for function
trace_hardirqs_{on,off}() so they can be safely called by low level entry
code.

This patch implements deduplication feature in zram. The purpose
of this work is naturally to save amount of memory usage by zram.

Android is one of the biggest users to use zram as swap and it's
really important to save amount of memory usage. There is a paper
that reports that duplication ratio of Android's memory content is
rather high [1]. And, there is a similar work on zswap that also
reports that experiments has shown that around 10-15% of pages
stored in zswp are duplicates and deduplicate them provides some
benefits [2].

Also, there is a different kind of workload that uses zram as blockdev
and store build outputs into it to reduce wear-out problem of real
blockdev. In this workload, deduplication hit is very high due to
temporary files and intermediate object files. Detailed analysis is
on the bottom of this description.

Anyway, if we can detect duplicated content and avoid to store duplicated
content at different memory space, we can save memory. This patch
tries to do that.

Implementation is almost simple and intuitive but I should note
one thing about implementation detail.

To check duplication, this patch uses checksum of the page and
collision of this checksum could be possible. There would be
many choices to handle this situation but this patch chooses
to allow entry with duplicated checksum to be added to the hash,
but, not to compare all entries with duplicated checksum
when checking duplication. I guess that checksum collision is quite
rare event and we don't need to pay any attention to such a case.
Therefore, I decided the most simplest way to implement the feature.
If there is a different opinion, I can accept and go that way.

Following is the result of this patch.

Test result #1 (Swap):
Android Marshmallow, emulator, x86_64, Backporting to kernel v3.18

orig_data_size: 145297408
compr_data_size: 32408125
mem_used_total: 32276480
dup_data_size: 3188134
meta_data_size: 1444272

Last two metrics added to mm_stat are related to this work.
First one, dup_data_size, is amount of saved memory by avoiding
to store duplicated page. Later one, meta_data_size, is the amount of
data structure to support deduplication. If dup > meta, we can judge
that the patch improves memory usage.

In Adnroid, we can save 5% of memory usage by this work.

Test result #2 (Blockdev):

<no-dedup>
Elapsed time: 249 s

There is no performance degradation and save 23% memory.

It shows performance degradation roughly 13% and save 24% memory. Maybe,
it is due to overhead of calculating checksum and comparison.

Memory is saved by 42% and performance is the same. Even if there is overhead
of calculating checksum and comparison, large hit ratio compensate it since
hit leads to less compression attempt.

I checked the detailed reason of savings on kernel build workload and
there are some cases that deduplication happens.

1) *.cmd
Build command is usually similar in one directory so content of these file
are very similar. In my system, more than 789 lines in fs/ext4/.namei.o.cmd
and fs/ext4/.inode.o.cmd are the same in 944 and 938 lines of the file,
respectively.

2) intermediate object files
built-in.o and temporary object file have the similar contents. More than
50% of fs/ext4/ext4.o is the same with fs/ext4/built-in.o.

3) vmlinux
.tmp_vmlinux1 and .tmp_vmlinux2 and arch/x86/boo/compressed/vmlinux.bin
have the similar contents.

Android test has similar case that some of object files(.class
and .so) are similar with another ones.
(./host/linux-x86/lib/libartd.so and
./host/linux-x86-lib/libartd-comiler.so)

Anyway, benefit seems to be largely dependent on the workload so
following patch will make this feature optional. However, this feature
can help some usecases so is deserved to be merged.

really important to save amount of memory usage. There is a paper
that reports that duplication ratio of Android's memory content is
rather high [1]. And, there is a similar work on zswap that also
reports that experiments has shown that around 10-15% of pages
stored in zswp are duplicates and deduplicate them provides some
benefits [2].

Also, there is a different kind of workload that uses zram as blockdev
and store build outputs into it to reduce wear-out problem of real
blockdev. In this workload, deduplication hit is very high due to
temporary files and intermediate object files. Detailed analysis is
on the bottom of this description.

Anyway, if we can detect duplicated content and avoid to store duplicated
content at different memory space, we can save memory. This patch
tries to do that.

Implementation is almost simple and intuitive but I should note
one thing about implementation detail.

To check duplication, this patch uses checksum of the page and
collision of this checksum could be possible. There would be
many choices to handle this situation but this patch chooses
to allow entry with duplicated checksum to be added to the hash,
but, not to compare all entries with duplicated checksum
when checking duplication. I guess that checksum collision is quite
rare event and we don't need to pay any attention to such a case.
Therefore, I decided the most simplest way to implement the feature.
If there is a different opinion, I can accept and go that way.

Following is the result of this patch.

Test result #1 (Swap):
Android Marshmallow, emulator, x86_64, Backporting to kernel v3.18

orig_data_size: 145297408
compr_data_size: 32408125
mem_used_total: 32276480
dup_data_size: 3188134
meta_data_size: 1444272

Last two metrics added to mm_stat are related to this work.
First one, dup_data_size, is amount of saved memory by avoiding
to store duplicated page. Later one, meta_data_size, is the amount of
data structure to support deduplication. If dup > meta, we can judge
that the patch improves memory usage.

In Adnroid, we can save 5% of memory usage by this work.

Test result #2 (Blockdev):
build the kernel and store output to ext4 FS on zram

There is no performance degradation and save 23% memory.

Test result #3 (Blockdev):
copy android build output dir(out/host) to ext4 FS on zram

<no-dedup>
Elapsed time: out/host: 88 s
mm_stat: 8834420736 3658184579 3834208256 0 3834208256 32889 0 0 0

It shows performance degradation roughly 13% and save 24% memory. Maybe,
it is due to overhead of calculating checksum and comparison.

Test result #4 (Blockdev):
copy android build output dir(out/target/common) to ext4 FS on zram

<no-dedup>
Elapsed time: out/host: 203 s

Memory is saved by 42% and performance is the same. Even if there is overhead
of calculating checksum and comparison, large hit ratio compensate it since
hit leads to less compression attempt.

I checked the detailed reason of savings on kernel build workload and
there are some cases that deduplication happens.

1) *.cmd
Build command is usually similar in one directory so content of these file
are very similar. In my system, more than 789 lines in fs/ext4/.namei.o.cmd
and fs/ext4/.inode.o.cmd are the same in 944 and 938 lines of the file,
respectively.

2) intermediate object files
built-in.o and temporary object file have the similar contents. More than
50% of fs/ext4/ext4.o is the same with fs/ext4/built-in.o.

3) vmlinux
.tmp_vmlinux1 and .tmp_vmlinux2 and arch/x86/boo/compressed/vmlinux.bin
have the similar contents.

Android test has similar case that some of object files(.class
and .so) are similar with another ones.
(./host/linux-x86/lib/libartd.so and
./host/linux-x86-lib/libartd-comiler.so)

Anyway, benefit seems to be largely dependent on the workload so
following patch will make this feature optional. However, this feature
can help some usecases so is deserved to be merged.
