Partly revert "mm/thp: carry over dirty bit when thp splits on pmd"

2022-11-08T23:57:23+00:00

Anatoly Pugachev reported sparc64 breakage on the patch:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221021160603.GA23307@u164.east.ru

The sparc64 impl of pte_mkdirty() is definitely slightly special in that
it leverages a code patching mechanism for sun4u/sun4v on relevant pgtable
entry operations.

Before having a clue of why the sparc64 is special and caused the patch to
SIGSEGV the processes, revert the patch for now.  The swap path of dirty
bit inheritage is kept because that's using the swap shared code so we
assume it'll not be affected.

mm: prep_compound_tail() clear page->private

2022-10-28T20:37:22+00:00

Although page allocation always clears page->private in the first page or
head page of an allocation, it has never made a point of clearing
page->private in the tails (though 0 is often what is already there).

But now commit 71e2d666ef85 ("mm/huge_memory: do not clobber swp_entry_t
during THP split") issues a warning when page_tail->private is found to be
non-0 (unless it's swapcache).

Change that warning to dump page_tail (which also dumps head), instead of
just the head: so far we have seen dead000000000122, dead000000000003,
dead000000000001 or 0000000000000002 in the raw output for tail private.

We could just delete the warning, but today's consensus appears to want
page->private to be 0, unless there's a good reason for it to be set: so
now clear it in prep_compound_tail() (more general than just for THP; but
not for high order allocation, which makes no pass down the tails).

The problem can be reproduced with the mmtests config
config-workload-stressng-mmap.  It does not always happen and when it
triggers is variable but it has happened on multiple machines.

The intent of commit b653db77350c patch was to avoid the case where
PG_private is clear but folio->private is not-NULL.  However, THP tail
pages uses page->private for "swp_entry_t if folio_test_swapcache()" as
stated in the documentation for struct folio.  This patch only clobbers
page->private for tail pages if the head page was not in swapcache and
warns once if page->private had an unexpected value.

mm/shmem: add flag to enforce shmem THP in hugepage_vma_check()

2022-10-03T21:03:33+00:00

Patch series "mm: add file/shmem support to MADV_COLLAPSE", v4.

This series builds on top of the previous "mm: userspace hugepage
collapse" series which introduced the MADV_COLLAPSE madvise mode and added
support for private, anonymous mappings[2], by adding support for file and
shmem backed memory to CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS=y kernels.

File and shmem support have been added with effort to align with existing
MADV_COLLAPSE semantics and policy decisions[3].  Collapse of shmem-backed
memory ignores kernel-guiding directives and heuristics including all
sysfs settings (transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled), and tmpfs huge= mount
options (shmem always supports large folios).  Like anonymous mappings, on
successful return of MADV_COLLAPSE on file/shmem memory, the contents of
memory mapped by the addresses provided will be synchronously pmd-mapped
THPs.

This functionality unlocks two important uses:

(1)	Immediately back executable text by THPs.  Current support provided
	by CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS may take a long time on a large
	system which might impair services from serving at their full rated
	load after (re)starting.  Tricks like mremap(2)'ing text onto
	anonymous memory to immediately realize iTLB performance prevents
	page sharing and demand paging, both of which increase steady state
	memory footprint.  Now, we can have the best of both worlds: Peak
	upfront performance and lower RAM footprints.

(2)	userfaultfd-based live migration of virtual machines satisfy UFFD
	faults by fetching native-sized pages over the network (to avoid
	latency of transferring an entire hugepage).  However, after guest
	memory has been fully copied to the new host, MADV_COLLAPSE can
	be used to immediately increase guest performance.

khugepaged has received a small improvement by association and can now
detect and collapse pte-mapped THPs.  However, there is still work to be
done along the file collapse path.  Compound pages of arbitrary order
still needs to be supported and THP collapse needs to be converted to
using folios in general.  Eventually, we'd like to move away from the
read-only and executable-mapped constraints currently imposed on eligible
files and support any inode claiming huge folio support.  That said, I
think the series as-is covers enough to claim that MADV_COLLAPSE supports
file/shmem memory.

Patches 1-3	Implement the guts of the series.
Patch 4 	Is a tracepoint for debugging.
Patches 5-9 	Refactor existing khugepaged selftests to work with new
		memory types + new collapse tests.
Patch 10 	Adds a userfaultfd selftest mode to mimic a functional test
		of UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MINOR+MADV_COLLAPSE live migration.
		(v4 note: "userfaultfd shmem" selftest is failing as of
		Sep 22 mm-unstable)

This patch (of 10):

Extend 'mm/thp: add flag to enforce sysfs THP in hugepage_vma_check()' to
shmem, allowing callers to ignore
/sys/kernel/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled and tmpfs huge= mount.

This is intended to be used by MADV_COLLAPSE, and the rationale is
analogous to the anon/file case: MADV_COLLAPSE is not coupled to
directives that advise the kernel's decisions on when THPs should be
considered eligible.  shmem/tmpfs always claims large folio support,
regardless of sysfs or mount options.

mm/huge_memory: prevent THP_ZERO_PAGE_ALLOC increased twice

2022-10-03T21:03:08+00:00

A user who reads THP_ZERO_PAGE_ALLOC may be more concerned about the huge
zero pages that are really allocated for thp.  It is misleading to
increase THP_ZERO_PAGE_ALLOC twice if two threads call get_huge_zero_page
concurrently.  Don't increase the value if the huge page is not really
used.

Update Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst to suit.

mm/gup: replace FOLL_NUMA by gup_can_follow_protnone()

2022-09-27T02:46:28+00:00

Patch series "mm: minor cleanups around NUMA hinting".

Working on some GUP cleanups (e.g., getting rid of some FOLL_ flags) and
preparing for other GUP changes (getting rid of FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE for
for taking a R/O longterm pin), this is something I can easily send out
independently.

Get rid of FOLL_NUMA, allow FOLL_FORCE access to PROT_NONE mapped pages in
GUP-fast, and fixup some documentation around NUMA hinting.


This patch (of 3):

No need for a special flag that is not even properly documented to be
internal-only.

Let's just factor this check out and get rid of this flag.  The separate
function has the nice benefit that we can centralize comments.
