<title>mm: hugetlb controller for cgroups v2</title>

In the effort of supporting cgroups v2 into Kubernetes, I stumped on
the lack of the hugetlb controller.

When the controller is enabled, it exposes four new files for each
hugetlb size on non-root cgroups:

- hugetlb.&lt;hugepagesize&gt;.current
- hugetlb.&lt;hugepagesize&gt;.max
- hugetlb.&lt;hugepagesize&gt;.events
- hugetlb.&lt;hugepagesize&gt;.events.local

The differences with the legacy hierarchy are in the file names and
using the value "max" instead of "-1" to disable a limit.

The file .limit_in_bytes is renamed to .max.

The file .usage_in_bytes is renamed to .current.

.failcnt is not provided as a single file anymore, but its value can
be read through the new flat-keyed files .events and .events.local,
through the "max" key.

huge_pte_offset() produced a sparse warning due to an improper return
type when the kernel was built with !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE.  Fix the bad
type and also convert all the macros in this block to static inline
wrappers.  Two existing wrappers in this block had lines in excess of 80
columns so clean those up as well.

No functional change.

A new clang diagnostic (-Wsizeof-array-div) warns about the calculation
to determine the number of u32's in an array of unsigned longs.
Suppress warning by adding parentheses.

While looking at the above issue, noticed that the 'address' parameter
to hugetlb_fault_mutex_hash is no longer used.  So, remove it from the
definition and all callers.

No functional change.

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).

<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
...

do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x180
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

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.

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

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.

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

Regarding the sparse warning, Luc said:

: 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
