<id>f45ec5ff16a75f96dac8c89862d75f1d8739efd4</id>
<content type='text'>
For either swap and page migration, we all use the bit 2 of the entry to
identify whether this entry is uffd write-protected.  It plays a similar
role as the existing soft dirty bit in swap entries but only for keeping
the uffd-wp tracking for a specific PTE/PMD.

Something special here is that when we want to recover the uffd-wp bit
from a swap/migration entry to the PTE bit we'll also need to take care of
the _PAGE_RW bit and make sure it's cleared, otherwise even with the
_PAGE_UFFD_WP bit we can't trap it at all.

In change_pte_range() we do nothing for uffd if the PTE is a swap entry.
That can lead to data mismatch if the page that we are going to write
protect is swapped out when sending the UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT.  This patch
also applies/removes the uffd-wp bit even for the swap entries.

<id>9de4f22a60f731943f050f4448bf2933ed3fa70b</id>
<content type='text'>
Some comments for MADV_FREE is revised and added to help people understand
the MADV_FREE code, especially the page flag, PG_swapbacked.  This makes
page_is_file_cache() isn't consistent with its comments.  So the function
is renamed to page_is_file_lru() to make them consistent again.  All these
are put in one patch as one logical change.

<title>mm/migrate.c: migrate PG_readahead flag</title>

<id>6aeff241fe6c4561a842b344c1ca14a700ec8441</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently the migration code doesn't migrate PG_readahead flag.
Theoretically this would incur slight performance loss as the application
might have to ramp its readahead back up again.  Even though such problem
happens, it might be hidden by something else since migration is typically
triggered by compaction and NUMA balancing, any of which should be more
noticeable.

Migrate the flag after end_page_writeback() since it may clear PG_reclaim
flag, which is the same bit as PG_readahead, for the new page.

<title>mm/migrate.c: unify "not queued for migration" handling in do_pages_move()</title>

It can currently happen that we store the status of a page twice:
* Once we detect that it is already on the target node
* Once we moved a bunch of pages, and a page that's already on the
  target node is contained in the current interval.

Let's simplify the code and always call do_move_pages_to_node() in case we
did not queue a page for migration.  Note that pages that are already on
the target node are not added to the pagelist and are, therefore, ignored
by do_move_pages_to_node() - there is no functional change.

The status of such a page is now only stored once.

Usually, do_move_pages_to_node() and store_status() are used in
combination.  We have three similar call sites.

Let's provide a wrapper for both function calls -
move_pages_and_store_status - to make the calling code easier to maintain
and fix (as noted by Yang Shi, the return value handling of
do_move_pages_to_node() has a flaw).

Patch series "cleanup on do_pages_move()", v5.

The logic in do_pages_move() is a little mess for audience to read and has
some potential error on handling the return value. Especially there are
three calls on do_move_pages_to_node() and store_status() with almost the
same form.

This patch set tries to make the code a little friendly for audience by
consolidate the calls.

This patch (of 4):

At this point, we always have i &gt;= start.  If i == start, store_status()
will return 0.  So we can drop the check for i &gt; start.

Patch series "hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem for more synchronization", v2.

While discussing the issue with huge_pte_offset [1], I remembered that
there were more outstanding hugetlb races.  These issues are:

1) For shared pmds, huge PTE pointers returned by huge_pte_alloc can become
   invalid via a call to huge_pmd_unshare by another thread.
2) hugetlbfs page faults can race with truncation causing invalid global
   reserve counts and state.

A previous attempt was made to use i_mmap_rwsem in this manner as
described at [2].  However, those patches were reverted starting with [3]
due to locking issues.

To effectively use i_mmap_rwsem to address the above issues it needs to be
held (in read mode) during page fault processing.  However, during fault
processing we need to lock the page we will be adding.  Lock ordering
requires we take page lock before i_mmap_rwsem.  Waiting until after
taking the page lock is too late in the fault process for the
synchronization we want to do.

To address this lock ordering issue, the following patches change the lock
ordering for hugetlb pages.  This is not too invasive as hugetlbfs
processing is done separate from core mm in many places.  However, I don't
really like this idea.  Much ugliness is contained in the new routine
hugetlb_page_mapping_lock_write() of patch 1.

The only other way I can think of to address these issues is by catching
all the races.  After catching a race, cleanup, backout, retry ...  etc,
as needed.  This can get really ugly, especially for huge page
reservations.  At one time, I started writing some of the reservation
backout code for page faults and it got so ugly and complicated I went
down the path of adding synchronization to avoid the races.  Any other
suggestions would be welcome.

This patch (of 2):

While looking at BUGs associated with invalid huge page map counts, it was
discovered and observed that a huge pte pointer could become 'invalid' and
point to another task's page table.  Consider the following:

A task takes a page fault on a shared hugetlbfs file and calls
huge_pte_alloc to get a ptep.  Suppose the returned ptep points to a
shared pmd.

Now, another task truncates the hugetlbfs file.  As part of truncation, it
unmaps everyone who has the file mapped.  If the range being truncated is
covered by a shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will be called.  For all but the
last user of the shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will clear the pud pointing
to the pmd.  If the task in the middle of the page fault is not the last
user, the ptep returned by huge_pte_alloc now points to another task's
page table or worse.  This leads to bad things such as incorrect page
map/reference counts or invalid memory references.

To fix, expand the use of i_mmap_rwsem as follows:
- i_mmap_rwsem is held in read mode whenever huge_pmd_share is called.
  huge_pmd_share is only called via huge_pte_alloc, so callers of
  huge_pte_alloc take i_mmap_rwsem before calling.  In addition, callers
  of huge_pte_alloc continue to hold the semaphore until finished with
  the ptep.
- i_mmap_rwsem is held in write mode whenever huge_pmd_unshare is called.

One problem with this scheme is that it requires taking i_mmap_rwsem
before taking the page lock during page faults.  This is not the order
specified in the rest of mm code.  Handling of hugetlbfs pages is mostly
isolated today.  Therefore, we use this alternative locking order for
PageHuge() pages.

         mapping-&gt;i_mmap_rwsem
           hugetlb_fault_mutex (hugetlbfs specific page fault mutex)
             page-&gt;flags PG_locked (lock_page)

To help with lock ordering issues, hugetlb_page_mapping_lock_write() is
introduced to write lock the i_mmap_rwsem associated with a page.

In most cases it is easy to get address_space via vma-&gt;vm_file-&gt;f_mapping.
However, in the case of migration or memory errors for anon pages we do
not have an associated vma.  A new routine _get_hugetlb_page_mapping()
will use anon_vma to get address_space in these cases.

Add a new src_owner field to struct migrate_vma.  If the field is set,
only device private pages with page-&gt;pgmap-&gt;owner equal to that field are
