[v3] mm: anonymous shared memory naming

Commit Message

Pasha Tatashin Nov. 15, 2022, 2:06 a.m. UTC

Since: commit 9a10064f5625 ("mm: add a field to store names for private
anonymous memory"), name for private anonymous memory, but not shared
anonymous, can be set. However, naming shared anonymous memory just as
useful for tracking purposes.

Extend the functionality to be able to set names for shared anon.

There are two ways to create anonymous shared memory, using memfd or
directly via mmap():
1. fd = memfd_create(...)
   mem = mmap(..., MAP_SHARED, fd, ...)
2. mem = mmap(..., MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, ...)

In both cases the anonymous shared memory is created the same way by
mapping an unlinked file on tmpfs.

The memfd way allows to give a name for anonymous shared memory, but
not useful when parts of shared memory require to have distinct names.

Example use case: The VMM maps VM memory as anonymous
shared memory (not private because VMM is sandboxed and drivers are
running in their own processes). However, the VM tells back to the VMM
how parts of the memory are actually used by the guest, how each of
the segments should be backed (i.e. 4K pages, 2M pages), and some
other information about the segments. The naming allows us to monitor
the effective memory footprint for each of these segments from the
host without looking inside the guest.

Sample output:
  /* Create shared anonymous segmenet */
  anon_shmem = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
                    MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
  /* Name the segment: "MY-NAME" */
  rv = prctl(PR_SET_VMA, PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME,
             anon_shmem, SIZE, "MY-NAME");

cat /proc/<pid>/maps (and smaps):
7fc8e2b4c000-7fc8f2b4c000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1024 [anon_shmem:MY-NAME]

If the segment is not named, the output is:
7fc8e2b4c000-7fc8f2b4c000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1024 /dev/zero (deleted)

 Changes since v2:
 https://lore.kernel.org/all/[e-mail]
 - Fixed a bug reported by kernel test robot. In show_map_vma(),
   anon_vma_name() should be called only when mm != NULL

 - Added support for memfd anon shared memory by checking inode->i_nlink
   count, if it is 0 it is anonymous memory if not it is a regular file on
   tmpfs.
- Addressed comments from David Hildenbrand, expanded the commit message and
  also added Acked.

 Changes since v1:
 https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[e-mail]
 - removed "path" for user named anon shared memory
 - fixed a warning found by kernel test robot
 - fixed a warning reported by Bagas Sanjaya
 - simplified and improved the commit log
