The TTM module today uses a hack to be able to set a different page
protection than struct vm_area_struct::vm_page_prot. To be able to do
this properly, add the needed vm functionality as vmf_insert_mixed_prot().

<title>mm/mmu_notifier: Rename struct mmu_notifier_mm to mmu_notifier_subscriptions</title>

The name mmu_notifier_mm implies that the thing is a mm_struct pointer,
and is difficult to abbreviate. The struct is actually holding the
interval tree and hlist containing the notifiers subscribed to a mm.

Use 'subscriptions' as the variable name for this struct instead of the
really terrible and misleading 'mmn_mm'.

<title>mm: thp: handle page cache THP correctly in PageTransCompoundMap</title>

<id>169226f7e0d275c1879551f37484ef6683579a5c</id>
<content type='text'>
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 &lt; 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.

The membarrier_state field is located within the mm_struct, which
is not guaranteed to exist when used from runqueue-lock-free iteration
on runqueues by the membarrier system call.

Copy the membarrier_state from the mm_struct into the scheduler runqueue
when the scheduler switches between mm.

When registering membarrier for mm, after setting the registration bit
in the mm membarrier state, issue a synchronize_rcu() to ensure the
scheduler observes the change. In order to take care of the case
where a runqueue keeps executing the target mm without swapping to
other mm, iterate over each runqueue and issue an IPI to copy the
membarrier_state from the mm_struct into each runqueue which have the
same mm which state has just been modified.

Move the mm membarrier_state field closer to pgd in mm_struct to use
a cache line already touched by the scheduler switch_mm.

The membarrier_execve() (now membarrier_exec_mmap) hook now needs to
clear the runqueue's membarrier state in addition to clear the mm
membarrier state, so move its implementation into the scheduler
membarrier code so it can access the runqueue structure.

Add memory barrier in membarrier_exec_mmap() prior to clearing
the membarrier state, ensuring memory accesses executed prior to exec
are not reordered with the stores clearing the membarrier state.

As suggested by Linus, move all membarrier.c RCU read-side locks outside
of the for each cpu loops.

Currently THP deferred split shrinker is not memcg aware, this may cause
premature OOM with some configuration.  For example the below test would
run into premature OOM easily:

$ cgcreate -g memory:thp
$ echo 4G &gt; /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/thp/memory/limit_in_bytes
$ cgexec -g memory:thp transhuge-stress 4000

transhuge-stress comes from kernel selftest.

It is easy to hit OOM, but there are still a lot THP on the deferred split
queue, memcg direct reclaim can't touch them since the deferred split
shrinker is not memcg aware.

Convert deferred split shrinker memcg aware by introducing per memcg
deferred split queue.  The THP should be on either per node or per memcg
deferred split queue if it belongs to a memcg.  When the page is
immigrated to the other memcg, it will be immigrated to the target memcg's
deferred split queue too.

Reuse the second tail page's deferred_list for per memcg list since the
same THP can't be on multiple deferred split queues.

From rdma.git

Jason Gunthorpe says:

====================
This is a collection of general cleanups for ODP to clarify some of the
flows around umem creation and use of the interval tree.
====================

The branch is based on v5.3-rc5 due to dependencies, and is being taken
into hmm.git due to dependencies in the next patches.

* odp_fixes:
  RDMA/mlx5: Use odp instead of mr-&gt;umem in pagefault_mr
  RDMA/mlx5: Use ib_umem_start instead of umem.address
  RDMA/core: Make invalidate_range a device operation
  RDMA/odp: Use kvcalloc for the dma_list and page_list
  RDMA/odp: Check for overflow when computing the umem_odp end
  RDMA/odp: Provide ib_umem_odp_release() to undo the allocs
  RDMA/odp: Split creating a umem_odp from ib_umem_get
  RDMA/odp: Make the three ways to create a umem_odp clear
  RMDA/odp: Consolidate umem_odp initialization
  RDMA/odp: Make it clearer when a umem is an implicit ODP umem
  RDMA/odp: Iterate over the whole rbtree directly
  RDMA/odp: Use the common interval tree library instead of generic
  RDMA/mlx5: Fix MR npages calculation for IB_ACCESS_HUGETLB

<title>hmm: use mmu_notifier_get/put for 'struct hmm'</title>

This is a significant simplification, it eliminates all the remaining
'hmm' stuff in mm_struct, eliminates krefing along the critical notifier
paths, and takes away all the ugly locking and abuse of page_table_lock.

mmu_notifier_get() provides the single struct hmm per struct mm which
eliminates mm-&gt;hmm.

It also directly guarantees that no mmu_notifier op callback is callable
while concurrent free is possible, this eliminates all the krefs inside
the mmu_notifier callbacks.

The remaining krefs in the range code were overly cautious, drivers are
already not permitted to free the mirror while a range exists.

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-&gt;mapping and and
page-&gt;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-&gt;mapping and
page-&gt;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.
