[ Upstream commit bb297bb2de517e41199185021f043bbc5d75b377 ]

When CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is set but not CONFIG_HUGETLBFS, the following
build failure is encoutered:

  In file included from arch/powerpc/mm/fault.c:33:0:
  include/linux/hugetlb.h: In function 'hstate_inode':
  include/linux/hugetlb.h:477:9: error: implicit declaration of function 'HUGETLBFS_SB' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
    return HUGETLBFS_SB(i-&gt;i_sb)-&gt;hstate;
           ^
  include/linux/hugetlb.h:477:30: error: invalid type argument of '-&gt;' (have 'int')
    return HUGETLBFS_SB(i-&gt;i_sb)-&gt;hstate;
                                ^

Gate hstate_inode() with CONFIG_HUGETLBFS instead of CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE.

Patch series "Make working with compound pages easier", v2.

These three patches add three helpers and convert the appropriate
places to use them.

This patch (of 3):

It's unnecessarily hard to find out the size of a potentially huge page.
Replace 'PAGE_SIZE &lt;&lt; compound_order(page)' with page_size(page).

While only powerpc supports the hugepd case, the code is pretty generic
and I'd like to keep all GUP internals in one place.

<title>hugetlb: use same fault hash key for shared and private mappings</title>

<id>1b426bac66e6cc83c9f2d92b96e4e72acf43419a</id>
<content type='text'>
hugetlb uses a fault mutex hash table to prevent page faults of the
same pages concurrently.  The key for shared and private mappings is
different.  Shared keys off address_space and file index.  Private keys
off mm and virtual address.  Consider a private mappings of a populated
hugetlbfs file.  A fault will map the page from the file and if needed
do a COW to map a writable page.

Hugetlbfs hole punch uses the fault mutex to prevent mappings of file
pages.  It uses the address_space file index key.  However, private
mappings will use a different key and could race with this code to map
the file page.  This causes problems (BUG) for the page cache remove
code as it expects the page to be unmapped.  A sample stack is:

page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_mapped(page))
kernel BUG at mm/filemap.c:169!
...
RIP: 0010:unaccount_page_cache_page+0x1b8/0x200
...
Call Trace:
__delete_from_page_cache+0x39/0x220
delete_from_page_cache+0x45/0x70

There seems to be another potential COW issue/race with this approach
of different private and shared keys as noted in commit 8382d914ebf7
("mm, hugetlb: improve page-fault scalability").

Since every hugetlb mapping (even anon and private) is actually a file
mapping, just use the address_space index key for all mappings.  This
results in potentially more hash collisions.  However, this should not
be the common case.

     mm/memory.c:3968:21:    expected restricted vm_fault_t [usertype] ret

This patch converts to return vm_fault_t type for hugetlb_fault() when
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE=n.

Regarding the sparse warning, Luc said:

: This is the expected behaviour.  The constant 0 is magic regarding bitwise
: types but ({ ...; 0; }) is not, it is just an ordinary expression of type
: 'int'.
:
: So, IMHO, Souptick's patch is the right thing to do.

This patch converts to return vm_fault_t type for hugetlb_fault() when
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE=n.

Regarding the sparse warning, Luc said:

: This is the expected behaviour.  The constant 0 is magic regarding bitwise
: types but ({ ...; 0; }) is not, it is just an ordinary expression of type
: 'int'.
:
: So, IMHO, Souptick's patch is the right thing to do.

<title>mm: update get_user_pages_longterm to migrate pages allocated from CMA region</title>

This patch updates get_user_pages_longterm to migrate pages allocated
out of CMA region.  This makes sure that we don't keep non-movable pages
(due to page reference count) in the CMA area.

This will be used by ppc64 in a later patch to avoid pinning pages in
the CMA region.  ppc64 uses CMA region for allocation of the hardware
page table (hash page table) and not able to migrate pages out of CMA
region results in page table allocation failures.

One case where we hit this easy is when a guest using a VFIO passthrough
device.  VFIO locks all the guest's memory and if the guest memory is
backed by CMA region, it becomes unmovable resulting in fragmenting the
CMA and possibly preventing other guests from allocation a large enough
hash page table.

NOTE: We allocate the new page without using __GFP_THISNODE

Architectures like ppc64 require to do a conditional tlb flush based on
the old and new value of pte.  Follow the regular pte change protection
sequence for hugetlb too.  This allows the architectures to override the
update sequence.

<title>mm/hugetlb: enable arch specific huge page size support for migration</title>

<content type='text'>
Architectures like arm64 have HugeTLB page sizes which are different
than generic sizes at PMD, PUD, PGD level and implemented via contiguous
bits.  At present these special size HugeTLB pages cannot be identified
through macros like (PMD|PUD|PGDIR)_SHIFT and hence chosen not be
migrated.

Enabling migration support for these special HugeTLB page sizes along
with the generic ones (PMD|PUD|PGD) would require identifying all of
them on a given platform.  A platform specific hook can precisely
enumerate all huge page sizes supported for migration.  Instead of
comparing against standard huge page orders let
hugetlb_migration_support() function call a platform hook
arch_hugetlb_migration_support().  Default definition for the platform
hook maintains existing semantics which checks standard huge page order.
But an architecture can choose to override the default and provide
support for a comprehensive set of huge page sizes.

Architectures like arm64 have PUD level HugeTLB pages for certain configs
(1GB huge page is PUD based on ARM64_4K_PAGES base page size) that can
be enabled for migration.  It can be achieved through checking for
PUD_SHIFT order based HugeTLB pages during migration.
