[ Upstream commit 3652117f854819a148ff0fbe4492587d3520b5e5 ]

Ever since the eventfd type was introduced back in 2007 in commit
e1ad7468c77d ("signal/timer/event: eventfd core") the eventfd_signal()
function only ever passed 1 as a value for @n. There's no point in
keeping that additional argument.

commit 118642d7f606fc9b9c92ee611275420320290ffb upstream.

The swapaccount deprecation warning is throwing false positives.  Since we
deprecated the knob and defaulted to enabling, the only reports we've been
getting are from folks that set swapaccount=1.  While this is a nice
affirmation that always-enabling was the right choice, we certainly don't
want to warn when users request the supported mode.

Only warn when disabling is requested, and clarify the warning.

When running autonuma with enabling multi-size THP, I encountered the
following kernel crash issue:

[  134.290216] list_del corruption. prev-&gt;next should be fffff9ad42e1c490,

The reason for the crash is that, the commit 85ce2c517ade ("memcontrol:
only transfer the memcg data for migration") removed the charging and
uncharging operations of the migration folios and cleared the memcg data
of the old folio.

During the subsequent release process of the old large folio in
destroy_large_folio(), if the large folio needs to be removed from the
split queue, an incorrect split queue can be obtained (which is
pgdat-&gt;deferred_split_queue) because the old folio's memcg is NULL now. 
This can lead to list operations being performed under the wrong split
queue lock protection, resulting in a list crash as above.

After the migration, the old folio is going to be freed, so we can remove
it from the split queue in mem_cgroup_migrate() a bit earlier before
clearing the memcg data to avoid getting incorrect split queue.

built with clang-16. The problem was not reproducible with gcc.

[    6.027000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b

Actually the problem is caused by uninitialized local variable in
current_obj_cgroup().  If the root memory cgroup is set as an active
memory cgroup for a charging scope (as in the trace, where systemd tries
to create the first non-root cgroup, so the parent cgroup is the root
cgroup), the "for" loop is skipped and uninitialized objcg is returned,
causing a panic down the accounting stack.

The fix is trivial: initialize the objcg variable to NULL unconditionally
before the "for" loop.

Objcg vectors attached to slab pages to store slab object ownership
information are allocated using gfp flags for the original slab
allocation.  Depending on slab page order and the size of slab objects,
objcg vector can take several pages.

If the original allocation was done with the __GFP_NOFAIL flag, it
triggered a warning in the page allocation code.  Indeed, order &gt; 1 pages
should not been allocated with the __GFP_NOFAIL flag.

Fix this by simply dropping the __GFP_NOFAIL flag when allocating the
objcg vector.  It effectively allows to skip the accounting of a single
slab object under a heavy memory pressure.

An alternative would be to implement the mechanism to fallback to order-0
allocations for accounting metadata, which is also not perfect because it
will increase performance penalty and memory footprint of the kernel
memory accounting under memory pressure.

Reimplement get_obj_cgroup_from_current() using current_obj_cgroup(). 
get_obj_cgroup_from_current() and current_obj_cgroup() share 80% of the
code, so the new implementation is almost trivial.

get_obj_cgroup_from_current() is a convenient function used by the
bpf subsystem, so there is no reason to get rid of it completely.

<title>mm: kmem: scoped objcg protection</title>

Switch to a scope-based protection of the objcg pointer on slab/kmem
allocation paths.  Instead of using the get_() semantics in the
pre-allocation hook and put the reference afterwards, let's rely on the
fact that objcg is pinned by the scope.

It's possible because:
1) if the objcg is received from the current task struct, the task is
   keeping a reference to the objcg.
2) if the objcg is received from an active memcg (remote charging),
   the memcg is pinned by the scope and has a reference to the
   corresponding objcg.

Keep a reference to the original objcg object for the entire life of a
memcg structure.

This allows to simplify the synchronization on the kernel memory
allocation paths: pinning a (live) memcg will also pin the corresponding
objcg.

The memory overhead of this change is minimal because object cgroups
usually outlive their corresponding memory cgroups even without this
change, so it's only an additional pointer per memcg.

<title>mm: kmem: add direct objcg pointer to task_struct</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1aacbd354313f25c855e662e41c04e2abf71444a</id>
<content type='text'>
To charge a freshly allocated kernel object to a memory cgroup, the kernel
needs to obtain an objcg pointer.  Currently it does it indirectly by
obtaining the memcg pointer first and then calling to
__get_obj_cgroup_from_memcg().

Usually tasks spend their entire life belonging to the same object cgroup.
So it makes sense to save the objcg pointer on task_struct directly, so
it can be obtained faster.  It requires some work on fork, exit and cgroup
migrate paths, but these paths are way colder.

To avoid any costly synchronization the following rules are applied:
1) A task sets it's objcg pointer itself.

2) If a task is being migrated to another cgroup, the least
   significant bit of the objcg pointer is set atomically.

3) On the allocation path the objcg pointer is obtained locklessly
   using the READ_ONCE() macro and the least significant bit is
   checked. If it's set, the following procedure is used to update
   it locklessly:
       - task-&gt;objcg is zeroed using cmpxcg
       - new objcg pointer is obtained
       - task-&gt;objcg is updated using try_cmpxchg
       - operation is repeated if try_cmpxcg fails
   It guarantees that no updates will be lost if task migration
   is racing against objcg pointer update. It also allows to keep
   both read and write paths fully lockless.

Because the task is keeping a reference to the objcg, it can't go away
while the task is alive.

This commit doesn't change the way the remote memcg charging works.
