Large folios occupy N consecutive entries in the swap cache instead of
using multi-index entries like the page cache. However, if a large folio
is re-added to the LRU list, it can be migrated. The migration code was
not aware of the difference between the swap cache and the page cache and
assumed that a single xas_store() would be sufficient.
This leaves potentially many stale pointers to the now-migrated folio in
the swap cache, which can lead to almost arbitrary data corruption in the
future. This can also manifest as infinite loops with the RCU read lock
held.

When doing compaction, I found the lru_add_drain() is an obvious hotspot
when migrating pages. The distribution of this hotspot is as follows:
- 18.75% compact_zone
- 17.39% migrate_pages
- 13.79% migrate_pages_batch
- 11.66% migrate_folio_move
- 7.02% lru_add_drain
+ 7.02% lru_add_drain_cpu
+ 3.00% move_to_new_folio
1.23% rmap_walk
+ 1.92% migrate_folio_unmap
+ 3.20% migrate_pages_sync
+ 0.90% isolate_migratepages
The lru_add_drain() was added by commit c3096e6782b7 ("mm/migrate:
__unmap_and_move() push good newpage to LRU") to drain the newpage to LRU
immediately, to help to build up the correct newpage->mlock_count in
remove_migration_ptes() for mlocked pages. However, if there are no
mlocked pages are migrating, then we can avoid this lru drain operation,
especailly for the heavy concurrent scenarios.
So we can record the source pages' mlocked status in
migrate_folio_unmap(), and only drain the lru list when the mlocked status
is set in migrate_folio_move().
In addition, the page was already isolated from lru when migrating, so
checking the mlocked status is stable by folio_test_mlocked() in
migrate_folio_unmap().
After this patch, I can see the hotpot of the lru_add_drain() is gone:
- 9.41% migrate_pages_batch
- 6.15% migrate_folio_move
- 3.64% move_to_new_folio
+ 1.80% migrate_folio_extra
+ 1.70% buffer_migrate_folio
+ 1.41% rmap_walk
+ 0.62% folio_add_lru
+ 3.07% migrate_folio_unmap
Meanwhile, the compaction latency shows some improvements when running

Add nr_split to trace_mm_migrate_pages for large folio (including THP) split events.

nr_failed was missing the large folio splits from migrate_pages_batch()
and can cause a mismatch between migrate_pages() return value and the
number of not migrated pages, i.e., when the return value of
migrate_pages() is 0, there are still pages left in the from page list.
It will happen when a non-PMD THP large folio fails to migrate due to
-ENOMEM and is split successfully but not all the split pages are not
migrated, migrate_pages_batch() would return non-zero, but
astats.nr_thp_split = 0. nr_failed would be 0 and returned to the caller
of migrate_pages(), but the not migrated pages are left in the from page
list without being added back to LRU lists.
Fix it by adding a new nr_split counter for large folio splits and adding
it to nr_failed in migrate_page_sync() after migrate_pages_batch() is
done.

Currently, hugetlb memory usage is not acounted for in the memory
controller, which could lead to memory overprotection for cgroups with
hugetlb-backed memory. This has been observed in our production system.
For instance, here is one of our usecases: suppose there are two 32G
containers. The machine is booted with hugetlb_cma=6G, and each container
may or may not use up to 3 gigantic page, depending on the workload within
it. The rest is anon, cache, slab, etc. We can set the hugetlb cgroup
limit of each cgroup to 3G to enforce hugetlb fairness. But it is very
difficult to configure memory.max to keep overall consumption, including
anon, cache, slab etc. fair.
What we have had to resort to is to constantly poll hugetlb usage and
readjust memory.max. Similar procedure is done to other memory limits
(memory.low for e.g). However, this is rather cumbersome and buggy.
Furthermore, when there is a delay in memory limits correction, (for e.g
when hugetlb usage changes within consecutive runs of the userspace
agent), the system could be in an over/underprotected state.
This patch rectifies this issue by charging the memcg when the hugetlb
folio is utilized, and uncharging when the folio is freed (analogous to
the hugetlb controller). Note that we do not charge when the folio is
allocated to the hugetlb pool, because at this point it is not owned by
any memcg.
Some caveats to consider:
* This feature is only available on cgroup v2.
* There is no hugetlb pool management involved in the memory
controller. As stated above, hugetlb folios are only charged towards
the memory controller when it is used. Host overcommit management
has to consider it when configuring hard limits.
* Failure to charge towards the memcg results in SIGBUS. This could
happen even if the hugetlb pool still has pages (but the cgroup
limit is hit and reclaim attempt fails).
* When this feature is enabled, hugetlb pages contribute to memory
reclaim protection. low, min limits tuning must take into account
hugetlb memory.
* Hugetlb pages utilized while this option is not selected will not
be tracked by the memory controller (even if cgroup v2 is remounted
later on).

Remove special cased hugetlb handling code within the page cache by
changing the granularity of ->index to the base page size rather than the
huge page size. The motivation of this patch is to reduce complexity
within the filemap code while also increasing performance by removing
branches that are evaluated on every page cache lookup.
To support the change in index, new wrappers for hugetlb page cache
interactions are added. These wrappers perform the conversion to a linear
index which is now expected by the page cache for huge pages.
========================= PERFORMANCE ======================================
Perf was used to check the performance differences after the patch.
Overall the performance is similar to mainline with a very small larger
overhead that occurs in __filemap_add_folio() and
hugetlb_add_to_page_cache(). This is because of the larger overhead that
occurs in xa_load() and xa_store() as the xarray is now using more entries
to store hugetlb folios in the page cache.

do_pages_move does not handle compat pointers for the page list.
correctly. Add in_compat_syscall check and appropriate get_user fetch
when iterating the page list.
It makes the syscall in compat mode (32-bit userspace, 64-bit kernel)
work the same way as the native 32-bit syscall again, restoring the
behavior before my broken commit 5b1b561ba73c ("mm: simplify
compat_sys_move_pages").
More specifically, my patch moved the parsing of the 'pages' array from
the main entry point into do_pages_stat(), which left the syscall
working correctly for the 'stat' operation (nodes = NULL), while the
'move' operation (nodes != NULL) is now missing the conversion and
interprets 'pages' as an array of 64-bit pointers instead of the
intended 32-bit userspace pointers.
It is possible that nobody noticed this bug because the few
applications that actually call move_pages are unlikely to run in
compat mode because of their large memory requirements, but this
clearly fixes a user-visible regression and should have been caught by
ltp.
