When handling shmem page fault the THP with corrupted subpage could be
PMD mapped if certain conditions are satisfied.  But kernel is supposed
to send SIGBUS when trying to map hwpoisoned page.

There are two paths which may do PMD map: fault around and regular
fault.

Before commit f9ce0be71d1f ("mm: Cleanup faultaround and finish_fault()
codepaths") the thing was even worse in fault around path.  The THP
could be PMD mapped as long as the VMA fits regardless what subpage is
accessed and corrupted.  After this commit as long as head page is not
corrupted the THP could be PMD mapped.

In the regular fault path the THP could be PMD mapped as long as the
corrupted page is not accessed and the VMA fits.

This loophole could be fixed by iterating every subpage to check if any
of them is hwpoisoned or not, but it is somewhat costly in page fault
path.

So introduce a new page flag called HasHWPoisoned on the first tail
page.  It indicates the THP has hwpoisoned subpage(s).  It is set if any
subpage of THP is found hwpoisoned by memory failure and after the
refcount is bumped successfully, then cleared when the THP is freed or
split.

The soft offline path doesn't need this since soft offline handler just
marks a subpage hwpoisoned when the subpage is migrated successfully.
But shmem THP didn't get split then migrated at all.

<content type='text'>
Fix the coherency management of mmap'd data such that 3rd-party changes
become visible as soon as possible after the callback notification is
delivered by the fileserver.  This is done by the following means:

 (1) When we break a callback on a vnode specified by the CB.CallBack call
     from the server, we queue a work item (vnode-&gt;cb_work) to go and
     clobber all the PTEs mapping to that inode.

     This causes the CPU to trip through the -&gt;map_pages() and
     -&gt;page_mkwrite() handlers if userspace attempts to access the page(s)
     again.

     (Ideally, this would be done in the service handler for CB.CallBack,
     but the server is waiting for our reply before considering, and we
     have a list of vnodes, all of which need breaking - and the process of
     getting the mmap_lock and stripping the PTEs on all CPUs could be
     quite slow.)

 (2) Call afs_validate() from the -&gt;map_pages() handler to check to see if
     the file has changed and to get a new callback promise from the
     server.

Also handle the fileserver telling us that it's dropping all callbacks,
possibly after it's been restarted by sending us a CB.InitCallBackState*
call by the following means:

 (3) Maintain a per-cell list of afs files that are currently mmap'd
     (cell-&gt;fs_open_mmaps).

 (4) Add a work item to each server that is invoked if there are any open
     mmaps when CB.InitCallBackState happens.  This work item goes through
     the aforementioned list and invokes the vnode-&gt;cb_work work item for
     each one that is currently using this server.

     This causes the PTEs to be cleared, causing -&gt;map_pages() or
     -&gt;page_mkwrite() to be called again, thereby calling afs_validate()
     again.

I've chosen to simply strip the PTEs at the point of notification reception
rather than invalidate all the pages as well because (a) it's faster, (b)
we may get a notification for other reasons than the data being altered (in
which case we don't want to clobber the pagecache) and (c) we need to ask
the server to find out - and I don't want to wait for the reply before
holding up userspace.

This was tested using the attached test program:

	#include &lt;stdbool.h&gt;
	#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
	#include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
	#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
	#include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
	#include &lt;sys/mman.h&gt;
	int main(int argc, char *argv[])
	{
		size_t size = getpagesize();
		unsigned char *p;
		bool mod = (argc == 3);
		int fd;
		if (argc != 2 &amp;&amp; argc != 3) {
			fprintf(stderr, "Format: %s &lt;file&gt; [mod]\n", argv[0]);
			exit(2);
		}
		fd = open(argv[1], mod ? O_RDWR : O_RDONLY);
		if (fd &lt; 0) {
			perror(argv[1]);
			exit(1);
		}

		p = mmap(NULL, size, mod ? PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE : PROT_READ,
			 MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
		if (p == MAP_FAILED) {
			perror("mmap");
			exit(1);
		}
		for (;;) {
			if (mod) {
				p[0]++;
				msync(p, size, MS_ASYNC);
				fsync(fd);
			}
			printf("%02x", p[0]);
			fflush(stdout);
			sleep(1);
		}
	}

It runs in two modes: in one mode, it mmaps a file, then sits in a loop
reading the first byte, printing it and sleeping for a second; in the
second mode it mmaps a file, then sits in a loop incrementing the first
byte and flushing, then printing and sleeping.

Two instances of this program can be run on different machines, one doing
the reading and one doing the writing.  The reader should see the changes
made by the writer, but without this patch, they aren't because validity
checking is being done lazily - only on entry to the filesystem.

Testing the InitCallBackState change is more complicated.  The server has
to be taken offline, the saved callback state file removed and then the
server restarted whilst the reading-mode program continues to run.  The
client machine then has to poke the server to trigger the InitCallBackState
call.

Commit 63f3655f9501 ("mm, memcg: fix reclaim deadlock with writeback")
fix the following ABBA deadlock by pre-allocating the pte page table
without holding the page lock.

	                                lock_page(A)
                                        SetPageWriteback(A)
                                        unlock_page(A)
  lock_page(B)
                                        lock_page(B)
  pte_alloc_one
    shrink_page_list
      wait_on_page_writeback(A)
                                        SetPageWriteback(B)
                                        unlock_page(B)

                                        # flush A, B to clear the writeback

Commit f9ce0be71d1f ("mm: Cleanup faultaround and finish_fault()
codepaths") reworked the relevant code but ignored this race.  This will
cause the deadlock above to appear again, so fix it.

<title>mm: device exclusive memory access</title>

<content type='text'>
Some devices require exclusive write access to shared virtual memory (SVM)
ranges to perform atomic operations on that memory.  This requires CPU
page tables to be updated to deny access whilst atomic operations are
occurring.

In order to do this introduce a new swap entry type
(SWP_DEVICE_EXCLUSIVE).  When a SVM range needs to be marked for exclusive
access by a device all page table mappings for the particular range are
replaced with device exclusive swap entries.  This causes any CPU access
to the page to result in a fault.

Faults are resovled by replacing the faulting entry with the original
mapping.  This results in MMU notifiers being called which a driver uses
to update access permissions such as revoking atomic access.  After
notifiers have been called the device will no longer have exclusive access
to the region.

Walking of the page tables to find the target pages is handled by
get_user_pages() rather than a direct page table walk.  A direct page
table walk similar to what migrate_vma_collect()/unmap() does could also
have been utilised.  However this resulted in more code similar in
functionality to what get_user_pages() provides as page faulting is
required to make the PTEs present and to break COW.

<title>mm/memory.c: allow different return codes for copy_nonpresent_pte()</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently if copy_nonpresent_pte() returns a non-zero value it is assumed
to be a swap entry which requires further processing outside the loop in
copy_pte_range() after dropping locks.  This prevents other values being
returned to signal conditions such as failure which a subsequent change
requires.

Instead make copy_nonpresent_pte() return an error code if further
processing is required and read the value for the swap entry in the main
loop under the ptl.

Both migration and device private pages use special swap entries that are
manipluated by a range of inline functions.  The arguments to these are
somewhat inconsistent so rework them to remove flag type arguments and to
make the arguments similar for both read and write entry creation.

Patch series "Add support for SVM atomics in Nouveau", v11.

Introduction
============

Some devices have features such as atomic PTE bits that can be used to
implement atomic access to system memory.  To support atomic operations to
a shared virtual memory page such a device needs access to that page which
is exclusive of the CPU.  This series introduces a mechanism to
temporarily unmap pages granting exclusive access to a device.

These changes are required to support OpenCL atomic operations in Nouveau
to shared virtual memory (SVM) regions allocated with the
CL_MEM_SVM_ATOMICS clSVMAlloc flag.  A more complete description of the
OpenCL SVM feature is available at
https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenCL/specs/3.0-unified/html/
OpenCL_API.html#_shared_virtual_memory .

Implementation
==============

Exclusive device access is implemented by adding a new swap entry type
(SWAP_DEVICE_EXCLUSIVE) which is similar to a migration entry.  The main
difference is that on fault the original entry is immediately restored by
the fault handler instead of waiting.

Restoring the entry triggers calls to MMU notifers which allows a device
driver to revoke the atomic access permission from the GPU prior to the
CPU finalising the entry.

Patches
=======

Patches 1 &amp; 2 refactor existing migration and device private entry
functions.

Patches 3 &amp; 4 rework try_to_unmap_one() by splitting out unrelated
functionality into separate functions - try_to_migrate_one() and
try_to_munlock_one().

Patch 5 renames some existing code but does not introduce functionality.

Patch 6 is a small clean-up to swap entry handling in copy_pte_range().

Patch 7 contains the bulk of the implementation for device exclusive
memory.

Patch 8 contains some additions to the HMM selftests to ensure everything
works as expected.

Patch 9 is a cleanup for the Nouveau SVM implementation.

Patch 10 contains the implementation of atomic access for the Nouveau
driver.

Testing
=======

This has been tested with upstream Mesa 21.1.0 and a simple OpenCL program
which checks that GPU atomic accesses to system memory are atomic.
Without this series the test fails as there is no way of write-protecting
the page mapping which results in the device clobbering CPU writes.  For
reference the test is available at
https://ozlabs.org/~apopple/opencl_svm_atomics/

Further testing has been performed by adding support for testing exclusive
access to the hmm-tests kselftests.

This patch (of 10):

Remove multiple similar inline functions for dealing with different types
of special swap entries.

Both migration and device private swap entries use the swap offset to
store a pfn.  Instead of multiple inline functions to obtain a struct page
for each swap entry type use a common function pfn_swap_entry_to_page().
Also open-code the various entry_to_pfn() functions as this results is
shorter code that is easier to understand.

Pach series "mm: thp: use generic THP migration for NUMA hinting fault", v3.

When the THP NUMA fault support was added THP migration was not supported
yet.  So the ad hoc THP migration was implemented in NUMA fault handling.
Since v4.14 THP migration has been supported so it doesn't make too much
sense to still keep another THP migration implementation rather than using
the generic migration code.  It is definitely a maintenance burden to keep
two THP migration implementation for different code paths and it is more
error prone.  Using the generic THP migration implementation allows us
remove the duplicate code and some hacks needed by the old ad hoc
implementation.

A quick grep shows x86_64, PowerPC (book3s), ARM64 ans S390 support both
THP and NUMA balancing.  The most of them support THP migration except for
S390.  Zi Yan tried to add THP migration support for S390 before but it
was not accepted due to the design of S390 PMD.  For the discussion,
please see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/27/953.

Per the discussion with Gerald Schaefer in v1 it is acceptible to skip
huge PMD for S390 for now.

I saw there were some hacks about gup from git history, but I didn't
figure out if they have been removed or not since I just found FOLL_NUMA
code in the current gup implementation and they seems useful.

Patch #1 ~ #2 are preparation patches.
Patch #3 is the real meat.
Patch #4 ~ #6 keep consistent counters and behaviors with before.
Patch #7 skips change huge PMD to prot_none if thp migration is not supported.

Test
----
Did some tests to measure the latency of do_huge_pmd_numa_page.  The test
VM has 80 vcpus and 64G memory.  The test would create 2 processes to
consume 128G memory together which would incur memory pressure to cause
THP splits.  And it also creates 80 processes to hog cpu, and the memory
consumer processes are bound to different nodes periodically in order to
increase NUMA faults.

The below test script is used:

echo 3 &gt; /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

# Run stress-ng for 24 hours
./stress-ng/stress-ng --vm 2 --vm-bytes 64G --timeout 24h &amp;
PID=$!

./stress-ng/stress-ng --cpu $NR_CPUS --timeout 24h &amp;

# Wait for vm stressors forked
sleep 5

PID_1=`pgrep -P $PID | awk 'NR == 1'`
PID_2=`pgrep -P $PID | awk 'NR == 2'`

JOB1=`pgrep -P $PID_1`
JOB2=`pgrep -P $PID_2`

# Bind load jobs to different nodes periodically to force generate
# cross node memory access
while [ -d "/proc/$PID" ]
do
        taskset -apc 8 $JOB1
        taskset -apc 8 $JOB2
        sleep 300
        taskset -apc 58 $JOB1
        taskset -apc 58 $JOB2
        sleep 300
done

With the above test the histogram of latency of do_huge_pmd_numa_page is
as shown below.  Since the number of do_huge_pmd_numa_page varies
drastically for each run (should be due to scheduler), so I converted the
raw number to percentage.

Per the result, patched kernel is even slightly better than the base
kernel.  I think this is because the lock contention against THP split is
less than base kernel due to the refactor.

To exclude the affect from THP split, I also did test w/o memory pressure.
No obvious regression is spotted.  The below is the test result *w/o*
memory pressure.

migrations by Mel.

This patch (of 7):

Add orig_pmd to struct vm_fault so the "orig_pmd" parameter used by huge
page fault could be removed, just like its PTE counterpart does.

Pach series "mm: thp: use generic THP migration for NUMA hinting fault", v3.

When the THP NUMA fault support was added THP migration was not supported
yet.  So the ad hoc THP migration was implemented in NUMA fault handling.
Since v4.14 THP migration has been supported so it doesn't make too much
sense to still keep another THP migration implementation rather than using
the generic migration code.  It is definitely a maintenance burden to keep
two THP migration implementation for different code paths and it is more
error prone.  Using the generic THP migration implementation allows us
remove the duplicate code and some hacks needed by the old ad hoc
implementation.

A quick grep shows x86_64, PowerPC (book3s), ARM64 ans S390 support both
THP and NUMA balancing.  The most of them support THP migration except for
S390.  Zi Yan tried to add THP migration support for S390 before but it
was not accepted due to the design of S390 PMD.  For the discussion,
please see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/27/953.

Per the discussion with Gerald Schaefer in v1 it is acceptible to skip
huge PMD for S390 for now.

I saw there were some hacks about gup from git history, but I didn't
figure out if they have been removed or not since I just found FOLL_NUMA
code in the current gup implementation and they seems useful.

Patch #1 ~ #2 are preparation patches.
Patch #3 is the real meat.
Patch #4 ~ #6 keep consistent counters and behaviors with before.
Patch #7 skips change huge PMD to prot_none if thp migration is not supported.

Test
----
Did some tests to measure the latency of do_huge_pmd_numa_page.  The test
VM has 80 vcpus and 64G memory.  The test would create 2 processes to
consume 128G memory together which would incur memory pressure to cause
THP splits.  And it also creates 80 processes to hog cpu, and the memory
consumer processes are bound to different nodes periodically in order to
increase NUMA faults.

The below test script is used:

echo 3 &gt; /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

# Run stress-ng for 24 hours
./stress-ng/stress-ng --vm 2 --vm-bytes 64G --timeout 24h &amp;
PID=$!

./stress-ng/stress-ng --cpu $NR_CPUS --timeout 24h &amp;

# Wait for vm stressors forked
sleep 5

PID_1=`pgrep -P $PID | awk 'NR == 1'`
PID_2=`pgrep -P $PID | awk 'NR == 2'`

JOB1=`pgrep -P $PID_1`
JOB2=`pgrep -P $PID_2`

# Bind load jobs to different nodes periodically to force generate
# cross node memory access
while [ -d "/proc/$PID" ]
do
        taskset -apc 8 $JOB1
        taskset -apc 8 $JOB2
        sleep 300
        taskset -apc 58 $JOB1
        taskset -apc 58 $JOB2
        sleep 300
done

With the above test the histogram of latency of do_huge_pmd_numa_page is
as shown below.  Since the number of do_huge_pmd_numa_page varies
drastically for each run (should be due to scheduler), so I converted the
raw number to percentage.

This patch allows shmem-backed VMAs to be registered for minor faults.
Minor faults are appropriately relayed to userspace in the fault path, for
VMAs with the relevant flag.

This commit doesn't hook up the UFFDIO_CONTINUE ioctl for shmem-backed
minor faults, though, so userspace doesn't yet have a way to resolve such
faults.

Because of this, we also don't yet advertise this as a supported feature.
That will be done in a separate commit when the feature is fully
implemented.
