mm/page_alloc: add page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list

2022-07-18T00:14:34+00:00

Patch series "Drain remote per-cpu directly", v5.

Some setups, notably NOHZ_FULL CPUs, may be running realtime or
latency-sensitive applications that cannot tolerate interference due to
per-cpu drain work queued by __drain_all_pages().  Introduce a new
mechanism to remotely drain the per-cpu lists.  It is made possible by
remotely locking 'struct per_cpu_pages' new per-cpu spinlocks.  This has
two advantages, the time to drain is more predictable and other unrelated
tasks are not interrupted.

This series has the same intent as Nicolas' series "mm/page_alloc: Remote
per-cpu lists drain support" -- avoid interference of a high priority task
due to a workqueue item draining per-cpu page lists.  While many workloads
can tolerate a brief interruption, it may cause a real-time task running
on a NOHZ_FULL CPU to miss a deadline and at minimum, the draining is
non-deterministic.

Currently an IRQ-safe local_lock protects the page allocator per-cpu
lists.  The local_lock on its own prevents migration and the IRQ disabling
protects from corruption due to an interrupt arriving while a page
allocation is in progress.

This series adjusts the locking.  A spinlock is added to struct
per_cpu_pages to protect the list contents while local_lock_irq is
ultimately replaced by just the spinlock in the final patch.  This allows
a remote CPU to safely.  Follow-on work should allow the spin_lock_irqsave
to be converted to spin_lock to avoid IRQs being disabled/enabled in most
cases.  The follow-on patch will be one kernel release later as it is
relatively high risk and it'll make bisections more clear if there are any
problems.

Patch 1 is a cosmetic patch to clarify when page->lru is storing buddy pages
	and when it is storing per-cpu pages.

Patch 2 shrinks per_cpu_pages to make room for a spin lock. Strictly speaking
	this is not necessary but it avoids per_cpu_pages consuming another
	cache line.

Patch 3 is a preparation patch to avoid code duplication.

Patch 4 is a minor correction.

Patch 5 uses a spin_lock to protect the per_cpu_pages contents while still
	relying on local_lock to prevent migration, stabilise the pcp
	lookup and prevent IRQ reentrancy.

Patch 6 remote drains per-cpu pages directly instead of using a workqueue.

Patch 7 uses a normal spinlock instead of local_lock for remote draining


This patch (of 7):

The page allocator uses page->lru for storing pages on either buddy or PCP
lists.  Create page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list as a union with
page->lru.  This is simply to clarify what type of list a page is on in
the page allocator.

No functional change intended.

mm: avoid unnecessary page fault retires on shared memory types

2022-06-17T02:48:27+00:00

I observed that for each of the shared file-backed page faults, we're very
likely to retry one more time for the 1st write fault upon no page.  It's
because we'll need to release the mmap lock for dirty rate limit purpose
with balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() (in fault_dirty_shared_page()).

Then after that throttling we return VM_FAULT_RETRY.

We did that probably because VM_FAULT_RETRY is the only way we can return
to the fault handler at that time telling it we've released the mmap lock.

However that's not ideal because it's very likely the fault does not need
to be retried at all since the pgtable was well installed before the
throttling, so the next continuous fault (including taking mmap read lock,
walk the pgtable, etc.) could be in most cases unnecessary.

It's not only slowing down page faults for shared file-backed, but also add
more mmap lock contention which is in most cases not needed at all.

To observe this, one could try to write to some shmem page and look at
"pgfault" value in /proc/vmstat, then we should expect 2 counts for each
shmem write simply because we retried, and vm event "pgfault" will capture
that.

To make it more efficient, add a new VM_FAULT_COMPLETED return code just to
show that we've completed the whole fault and released the lock.  It's also
a hint that we should very possibly not need another fault immediately on
this page because we've just completed it.

This patch provides a ~12% perf boost on my aarch64 test VM with a simple
program sequentially dirtying 400MB shmem file being mmap()ed and these are
the time it needs:

  Before: 650.980 ms (+-1.94%)
  After:  569.396 ms (+-1.38%)

I believe it could help more than that.

We need some special care on GUP and the s390 pgfault handler (for gmap
code before returning from pgfault), the rest changes in the page fault
handlers should be relatively straightforward.

Another thing to mention is that mm_account_fault() does take this new
fault as a generic fault to be accounted, unlike VM_FAULT_RETRY.

I explicitly didn't touch hmm_vma_fault() and break_ksm() because they do
not handle VM_FAULT_RETRY even with existing code, so I'm literally keeping
them as-is.

mm/hugetlb: only drop uffd-wp special pte if required

2022-05-13T14:20:11+00:00

As with shmem uffd-wp special ptes, only drop the uffd-wp special swap pte
if unmapping an entire vma or synchronized such that faults can not race
with the unmap operation.  This requires passing zap_flags all the way to
the lowest level hugetlb unmap routine: __unmap_hugepage_range.

In general, unmap calls originated in hugetlbfs code will pass the
ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER flag as synchronization is in place to prevent
faults.  The exception is hole punch which will first unmap without any
synchronization.  Later when hole punch actually removes the page from the
file, it will check to see if there was a subsequent fault and if so take
the hugetlb fault mutex while unmapping again.  This second unmap will
pass in ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER.

The justification of "whether to apply ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER flag when
unmap a hugetlb range" is (IMHO): we should never reach a state when a
page fault could errornously fault in a page-cache page that was
wr-protected to be writable, even in an extremely short period.  That
could happen if e.g.  we pass ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER when
hugetlbfs_punch_hole() calls hugetlb_vmdelete_list(), because if a page
faults after that call and before remove_inode_hugepages() is executed,
the page cache can be mapped writable again in the small racy window, that
can cause unexpected data overwritten.

mm: check against orig_pte for finish_fault()

2022-05-13T14:20:09+00:00

This patch allows do_fault() to trigger on !pte_none() cases too.  This
prepares for the pte markers to be handled by do_fault() just like none
pte.

To achieve this, instead of unconditionally check against pte_none() in
finish_fault(), we may hit the case that the orig_pte was some pte marker
so what we want to do is to replace the pte marker with some valid pte
entry.  Then if orig_pte was set we'd want to check the current *pte
(under pgtable lock) against orig_pte rather than none pte.

Right now there's no solid way to safely reference orig_pte because when
pmd is not allocated handle_pte_fault() will not initialize orig_pte, so
it's not safe to reference it.

There's another solution proposed before this patch to do pte_clear() for
vmf->orig_pte for pmd==NULL case, however it turns out it'll break arm32
because arm32 could have assumption that pte_t* pointer will always reside
on a real ram32 pgtable, not any kernel stack variable.

To solve this, we add a new flag FAULT_FLAG_ORIG_PTE_VALID, and it'll be
set along with orig_pte when there is valid orig_pte, or it'll be cleared
when orig_pte was not initialized.

It'll be updated every time we call handle_pte_fault(), so e.g.  if a page
fault retry happened it'll be properly updated along with orig_pte.

mm: support GUP-triggered unsharing of anonymous pages

2022-05-10T01:20:45+00:00

Whenever GUP currently ends up taking a R/O pin on an anonymous page that
might be shared -- mapped R/O and !PageAnonExclusive() -- any write fault
on the page table entry will end up replacing the mapped anonymous page
due to COW, resulting in the GUP pin no longer being consistent with the
page actually mapped into the page table.

The possible ways to deal with this situation are:
 (1) Ignore and pin -- what we do right now.
 (2) Fail to pin -- which would be rather surprising to callers and
     could break user space.
 (3) Trigger unsharing and pin the now exclusive page -- reliable R/O
     pins.

We want to implement 3) because it provides the clearest semantics and
allows for checking in unpin_user_pages() and friends for possible BUGs:
when trying to unpin a page that's no longer exclusive, clearly something
went very wrong and might result in memory corruptions that might be hard
to debug.  So we better have a nice way to spot such issues.

To implement 3), we need a way for GUP to trigger unsharing:
FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE.  FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE is only applicable to R/O mapped
anonymous pages and resembles COW logic during a write fault.  However, in
contrast to a write fault, GUP-triggered unsharing will, for example,
still maintain the write protection.

Let's implement FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE by hooking into the existing write
fault handlers for all applicable anonymous page types: ordinary pages,
THP and hugetlb.

* If FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE finds a R/O-mapped anonymous page that has been
  marked exclusive in the meantime by someone else, there is nothing to do.
* If FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE finds a R/O-mapped anonymous page that's not
  marked exclusive, it will try detecting if the process is the exclusive
  owner. If exclusive, it can be set exclusive similar to reuse logic
  during write faults via page_move_anon_rmap() and there is nothing
  else to do; otherwise, we either have to copy and map a fresh,
  anonymous exclusive page R/O (ordinary pages, hugetlb), or split the
  THP.

This commit is heavily based on patches by Andrea.

ksm: count ksm merging pages for each process

2022-04-29T06:16:16+00:00

Some applications or containers want to use KSM by calling madvise() to
advise areas of address space to be MERGEABLE.  But they may not know
which applications are more likely to cause real merges in the
deployment.  If this patch is applied, it helps them know their
corresponding number of merged pages, and then optimize their app code.

As current KSM only counts the number of KSM merging pages(e.g. 
ksm_pages_sharing and ksm_pages_shared) of the whole system, we cannot see
the more fine-grained KSM merging, for the upper application optimization,
the merging area cannot be set easily according to the KSM page merging
probability of each process.  Therefore, it is necessary to add extra
statistical means so that the upper level users can know the detailed KSM
merging information of each process.

We add a new proc file named as ksm_merging_pages under /proc// to
indicate the involved ksm merging pages of this process.

Move compound_pincount from the third page to the second page, which

which is in use for pages in the swap cache), so revert the optimisation
of storing both compound_order and compound_nr on 32-bit systems.
