mmap locking API: rename mmap_sem to mmap_lock

2020-06-09T16:39:14+00:00

Rename the mmap_sem field to mmap_lock.  Any new uses of this lock should
now go through the new mmap locking api.  The mmap_lock is still
implemented as a rwsem, though this could change in the future.

mm_types.h: change set_page_private to inline function

2020-06-02T17:59:08+00:00

Change it to inline function to make callers use the proper argument.  And
no need for it to be macro per Andrew's comment [1].

mm: fix ambiguous comments for better code readability

2020-04-07T17:43:41+00:00

The parameter of remap_pfn_range() @pfn passed from the caller is actually
a page-frame number converted by corresponding physical address of kernel
memory, the original comment is ambiguous that may mislead the users.

Meanwhile, there is an ambiguous typo "VMM" in the comment of
vm_area_struct.  So fixing them will make the code more readable.

mm/gup: page->hpage_pinned_refcount: exact pin counts for huge pages

2020-04-02T16:35:27+00:00

For huge pages (and in fact, any compound page), the GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS
scheme tends to overflow too easily, each tail page increments the head
page->_refcount by GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS (1024).  That limits the number
of huge pages that can be pinned.

This patch removes that limitation, by using an exact form of pin counting
for compound pages of order > 1.  The "order > 1" is required because this
approach uses the 3rd struct page in the compound page, and order 1
compound pages only have two pages, so that won't work there.

A new struct page field, hpage_pinned_refcount, has been added, replacing
a padding field in the union (so no new space is used).

This enhancement also has a useful side effect: huge pages and compound
pages (of order > 1) do not suffer from the "potential false positives"
problem that is discussed in the page_dma_pinned() comment block.  That is
because these compound pages have extra space for tracking things, so they
get exact pin counts instead of overloading page->_refcount.

Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst is updated accordingly.

The TTM module today uses a hack to be able to set a different page

this properly, add the needed vm functionality as vmf_insert_mixed_prot().

mm/mmu_notifier: Rename struct mmu_notifier_mm to mmu_notifier_subscriptions

2020-01-14T15:54:47+00:00

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'.

mm: thp: handle page cache THP correctly in PageTransCompoundMap

2019-11-06T16:28:58+00:00

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.
