mm: thp: handle page cache THP correctly in PageTransCompoundMap

2019-11-12T18:26:56+00:00

commit 169226f7e0d275c1879551f37484ef6683579a5c upstream.

We have a usecase to use tmpfs as QEMU memory backend and we would like
to take the advantage of THP as well.  But, our test shows the EPT is
not PMD mapped even though the underlying THP are PMD mapped on host.
The number showed by /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/largepage is much less than
the number of PMD mapped shmem pages as the below:

  7f2778200000-7f2878200000 rw-s 00000000 00:14 262232 /dev/shm/qemu_back_mem.mem.Hz2hSf (deleted)
  Size:            4194304 kB
  [snip]
  AnonHugePages:         0 kB
  ShmemPmdMapped:   579584 kB
  [snip]
  Locked:                0 kB

  cat /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/largepages
  12

And some benchmarks do worse than with anonymous THPs.

By digging into the code we figured out that commit 127393fbe597 ("mm:
thp: kvm: fix memory corruption in KVM with THP enabled") checks if
there is a single PTE mapping on the page for anonymous THP when setting
up EPT map.  But the _mapcount < 0 check doesn't work for page cache THP
since every subpage of page cache THP would get _mapcount inc'ed once it
is PMD mapped, so PageTransCompoundMap() always returns false for page
cache THP.  This would prevent KVM from setting up PMD mapped EPT entry.

So we need handle page cache THP correctly.  However, when page cache
THP's PMD gets split, kernel just remove the map instead of setting up
PTE map like what anonymous THP does.  Before KVM calls get_user_pages()
the subpages may get PTE mapped even though it is still a THP since the
page cache THP may be mapped by other processes at the mean time.

Checking its _mapcount and whether the THP has PTE mapped or not.
Although this may report some false negative cases (PTE mapped by other
processes), it looks not trivial to make this accurate.

With this fix /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/largepage would show reasonable
pages are PMD mapped by EPT as the below:

  7fbeaee00000-7fbfaee00000 rw-s 00000000 00:14 275464 /dev/shm/qemu_back_mem.mem.SKUvat (deleted)
  Size:            4194304 kB
  [snip]
  AnonHugePages:         0 kB
  ShmemPmdMapped:   557056 kB
  [snip]
  Locked:                0 kB

  cat /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/largepages
  271

And the benchmarks are as same as anonymous THPs.

mm: document zone device struct page field usage

2019-08-13T23:06:52+00:00

Patch series "mm/hmm: fixes for device private page migration", v3.

Testing the latest linux git tree turned up a few bugs with page
migration to and from ZONE_DEVICE private and anonymous pages.
Hopefully it clarifies how ZONE_DEVICE private struct page uses the same
mapping and index fields from the source anonymous page mapping.

This patch (of 3):

Struct page for ZONE_DEVICE private pages uses the page->mapping and and
page->index fields while the source anonymous pages are migrated to
device private memory.  This is so rmap_walk() can find the page when
migrating the ZONE_DEVICE private page back to system memory.
ZONE_DEVICE pmem backed fsdax pages also use the page->mapping and
page->index fields when files are mapped into a process address space.

Add comments to struct page and remove the unused "_zd_pad_1" field to
make this more clear.

Pull HMM updates from Jason Gunthorpe:
 "Improvements and bug fixes for the hmm interface in the kernel:

   - Improve clarity, locking and APIs related to the 'hmm mirror'
     feature merged last cycle. In linux-next we now see AMDGPU and
     nouveau to be using this API.

   - Remove old or transitional hmm APIs. These are hold overs from the
     past with no users, or APIs that existed only to manage cross tree
     conflicts. There are still a few more of these cleanups that didn't
     make the merge window cut off.

   - Improve some core mm APIs:
       - export alloc_pages_vma() for driver use
       - refactor into devm_request_free_mem_region() to manage
         DEVICE_PRIVATE resource reservations
       - refactor duplicative driver code into the core dev_pagemap
         struct

   - Remove hmm wrappers of improved core mm APIs, instead have drivers
     use the simplified API directly

   - Remove DEVICE_PUBLIC

   - Simplify the kconfig flow for the hmm users and core code"

All the mm/hmm.c code is better keyed off HMM_MIRROR.  Also let nouveau
depend on it instead of the mix of a dummy dependency symbol plus the
actually selected one.  Drop various odd dependencies, as the code is
pretty portable.
