We should fail uffd-wp registration immediately if the arch does not even have CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP defined. That'll block also relevant ioctls on e.g. UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT because that'll check against VM_UFFD_WP, which can only be applied with a success registration. Remove the WP feature bit too for those archs when handling UFFDIO_API ioctl. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210428225030.9708-5-peterx@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

We tried to do something similar in b569a176 ("userfaultfd: wp: drop _PAGE_UFFD_WP properly when fork") previously, but it's not doing it all right.. A few fixes around the code path: 1. We were referencing VM_UFFD_WP vm_flags on the _old_ vma rather than the new vma. That's overlooked in b569a176, so it won't work as expected. Thanks to the recent rework on fork code (7a4830c3), we can easily get the new vma now, so switch the checks to that. 2. Dropping the uffd-wp bit in copy_huge_pmd() could be wrong if the huge pmd is a migration huge pmd. When it happens, instead of using pmd_uffd_wp(), we should use pmd_swp_uffd_wp(). The fix is simply to handle them separately. 3. Forget to carry over uffd-wp bit for a write migration huge pmd entry. This also happens in copy_huge_pmd(), where we converted a write huge migration entry into a read one. 4. In copy_nonpresent_pte(), drop uffd-wp if necessary for swap ptes. 5. In copy_present_page() when COW is enforced when fork(), we also need to pass over the uffd-wp bit if VM_UFFD_WP is armed on the new vma, and when the pte to be copied has uffd-wp bit set. Remove the comment in copy_present_pte() about this. It won't help a huge lot to only comment there, but comment everywhere would be an overkill. Let's assume the commit messages would help.

Patch series "mm/uffd: Misc fix for uffd-wp and one more test". This series tries to fix some corner case bugs for uffd-wp on either thp or fork(). Then it introduced a new test with pagemap/pageout. Patch layout: Patch 1: cleanup for THP, it'll slightly simplify the follow up patches Patch 2-4: misc fixes for uffd-wp here and there; please refer to each patch Patch 5: add pagemap support for uffd-wp Patch 6: add pagemap/pageout test for uffd-wp The last test introduced can also verify some of the fixes in previous patches, as the test will fail without the fixes. However it's not easy to verify all the changes in patch 2-4, but hopefully they can still be properly reviewed. Note that if considering the ongoing uffd-wp shmem & hugetlbfs work, patch 5 will be incomplete as it's missing e.g. hugetlbfs part or the special swap pte detection. However that's not needed in this series, and since that series is still during review, this series does not depend on that one (the last test only runs with anonymous memory, not file-backed). So this series can be merged even before that series. This patch (of 6): Huge zero page is handled in a special path in copy_huge_pmd(), however it should share most codes with a normal thp page. Trying to share more code with it by removing the special path. The only leftover so far is the huge zero page refcounting (mm_get_huge_zero_page()), because that's separately done with a global counter. This prepares for a future patch to modify the huge pmd to be installed, so that we don't need to duplicate it explicitly into huge zero page case too.

It tries to check against all zeros and looped for quite a few times. However after that we'll verify the same page with count_verify, while count_verify can never be zero. So it means if it's a zero page we'll detect it anyways with below code. There's yet another place we conditionally check the fault flag - just do it unconditionally.

There seems to have no guarantee that time() will return the same for the two calls even if there's no delay, e.g. when a fault is accidentally crossing the changing of a second. Meanwhile, this message is also not helping that much since delay could happen with a lot of reasons, e.g., schedule latency of resolving thread. It may not mean an issue with uffd. Neither do I saw this error triggered either in the past runs. Even if it triggers, it'll be drown in all the rest of test logs. Remove it.

Patch series "userfaultfd/selftests: A few cleanups", v2. I wanted to cleanup userfaultfd.c fault handling for a long time. If it's not cleaned, when the new code grows the file it'll also grow the size that needs to be cleaned... This is my attempt to cleanup the userfaultfd selftest on fault handling, to use an err() macro instead of either fprintf() or perror() then another exit() call. The huge cleanup is done in the last patch. The first 4 patches are some other standalone cleanups for the same file, so I put them together. This patch (of 5): Userfaultfd selftest does not need to handle kernel initiated fault. Set user mode so it can be run even if unprivileged_userfaultfd=0 (which is the default).

Recent changes by patch "mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists" makes kernels determine whether to use pcp by pcp_allowed_order(), which breaks soft-offline for hugetlb pages. Soft-offline dissolves a migration source page, then removes it from buddy free list, so it's assumed that any subpage of the soft-offlined hugepage are recognized as a buddy page just after returning from dissolve_free_huge_page(). pcp_allowed_order() returns true for hugetlb, so this assumption is no longer true. So disable pcp during dissolve_free_huge_page() and take_page_off_buddy() to prevent soft-offlined hugepages from linking to pcp lists. Soft-offline should not be common events so the impact on performance should be minimal. And I think that the optimization of Mel's patch could benefit to hugetlb so zone_pcp_disable() is called only in hwpoison context.

Mike Kravetz authored
In [1], Jann Horn points out a possible race between prep_compound_gigantic_page and __page_cache_add_speculative. The root cause of the possible race is prep_compound_gigantic_page uncondittionally setting the ref count of pages to zero. It does this because prep_compound_gigantic_page is handed a 'group' of pages from an allocator and needs to convert that group of pages to a compound page. The ref count of each page in this 'group' is one as set by the allocator. However, the ref count of compound page tail pages must be zero. The potential race comes about when ref counted pages are returned from the allocator. When this happens, other mm code could also take a reference on the page. __page_cache_add_speculative is one such example. Therefore, prep_compound_gigantic_page can not just set the ref count of pages to zero as it does today. Doing so would lose the reference taken by any other code. This would lead to BUGs in code checking ref counts and could possibly even lead to memory corruption. There are two possible ways to address this issue. 1) Make all allocators of gigantic groups of pages be able to return a properly constructed compound page. 2) Make prep_compound_gigantic_page be more careful when constructing a compound page. This patch takes approach 2. In prep_compound_gigantic_page, use cmpxchg to only set ref count to zero if it is one. If the cmpxchg fails, call synchronize_rcu() in the hope that the extra ref count will be driopped during a rcu grace period. This is not a performance critical code path and the wait should be accceptable. If the ref count is still inflated after the grace period, then undo any modifications made and return an error. Currently prep_compound_gigantic_page is type void and does not return errors. Modify the two callers to check for and handle error returns. On error, the caller must free the 'group' of pages as they can not be used to form a gigantic page. After freeing pages, the runtime caller (alloc_fresh_huge_page) will retry the allocation once. Boot time allocations can not be retried. The routine prep_compound_page also unconditionally sets the ref count of compound page tail pages to zero. However, in this case the buddy allocator is constructing a compound page from freshly allocated pages. The ref count on those freshly allocated pages is already zero, so the set_page_count(p, 0) is unnecessary and could lead to confusion. Just remove it.

Patch series "Fix prep_compound_gigantic_page ref count adjustment". These patches address the possible race between prep_compound_gigantic_page and __page_cache_add_speculative as described by Jann Horn in [1]. The first patch simply removes the unnecessary/obsolete helper routine prep_compound_huge_page to make the actual fix a little simpler. The second patch is the actual fix and has a detailed explanation in the commit message. This potential issue has existed for almost 10 years and I am unaware of anyone actually hitting the race. I did not cc stable, but would be happy to squash the patches and send to stable if anyone thinks that is a good idea. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CAG48ez23q0Jy9cuVnwAe7t_fdhMk2S7N5Hdi-GLcCeq5bsfLxw@mail.gmail.com/ This patch (of 2): I could not think of a reliable way to recreate the issue for testing. Rather, I 'simulated errors' to exercise all the error paths. The routine prep_compound_huge_page is a simple wrapper to call either prep_compound_gigantic_page or prep_compound_page. However, it is only called from gather_bootmem_prealloc which only processes gigantic pages. Eliminate the routine and call prep_compound_gigantic_page directly.

When using HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP, the freeing unused vmemmap pages associated with each HugeTLB page is default off. Now the vmemmap is PMD mapped. So there is no side effect when this feature is enabled with no HugeTLB pages in the system. Someone may want to enable this feature in the compiler time instead of using boot command line. So add a config to make it default on when someone do not want to enable it via command line. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210616094915.34432-4-songmuchun@bytedance.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "Split huge PMD mapping of vmemmap pages", v4. In order to reduce the difficulty of code review in series[1]. We disable huge PMD mapping of vmemmap pages when that feature is enabled. In this series, we do not disable huge PMD mapping of vmemmap pages anymore. We will split huge PMD mapping when needed. When HugeTLB pages are freed from the pool we do not attempt coalasce and move back to a PMD mapping because it is much more complex. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/20210510030027.56044-1-songmuchun@bytedance.com/ This patch (of 3): In [1], PMD mappings of vmemmap pages were disabled if the the feature hugetlb_free_vmemmap was enabled. This was done to simplify the initial implementation of vmmemap freeing for hugetlb pages. Now, remove this simplification by allowing PMD mapping and switching to PTE mappings as needed for allocated hugetlb pages. When a hugetlb page is allocated, the vmemmap page tables are walked to free vmemmap pages. During this walk, split huge PMD mappings to PTE mappings as required. In the unlikely case PTE pages can not be allocated, return error(ENOMEM) and do not optimize vmemmap of the hugetlb page. When HugeTLB pages are freed from the pool, we do not attempt to coalesce and move back to a PMD mapping because it is much more complex.

On UFFDIO_COPY, if we fail to copy the page contents while holding the hugetlb_fault_mutex, we will drop the mutex and return to the caller after allocating a page that consumed a reservation. In this case there may be a fault that double consumes the reservation. To handle this, we free the allocated page, fix the reservations, and allocate a temporary hugetlb page and return that to the caller. When the caller does the copy outside of the lock, we again check the cache, and allocate a page consuming the reservation, and copy over the contents. Test: Hacked the code locally such that resv_huge_pages underflows produce a warning and the copy_huge_page_from_user() always fails, then: ./tools/testing/selftests/vm/userfaultfd hugetlb_shared 10 2 /tmp/kokonut_test/huge/userfaultfd_test && echo test success ./tools/testing/selftests/vm/userfaultfd hugetlb 10 2 /tmp/kokonut_test/huge/userfaultfd_test && echo test success Both tests succeed and produce no warnings. After the test runs number of free/resv hugepages is correct.

Support of 8M pages will be implemented later, it requires use of hugepd tables. To allow this, the architecture provides two functions: - arch_vmap_pte_range_map_size() which tells vmap_pte_range() what page size to use. A stub returning PAGE_SIZE is provided when the architecture doesn't provide this function. - arch_vmap_pte_supported_shift() which tells __vmalloc_node_range() what page shift to use for a given area size. A stub returning PAGE_SHIFT is provided when the architecture doesn't provide this function. This patch (of 5): At the time being, arch_make_huge_pte() has the following prototype: pte_t arch_make_huge_pte(pte_t entry, struct vm_area_struct *vma, struct page *page, int writable); vma is used to get the pages shift or size. vma is also used on Sparc to get vm_flags. page is not used. writable is not used. In order to use this function without a vma, replace vma by shift and flags. Also remove the used parameters.

Commit aa88b68c ("thp: keep huge zero page pinned until tlb flush") introduced tlb_remove_page() for huge zero page to keep it pinned until flush is complete and prevents the page from being split under us. But huge zero page is kept pinned until all relevant mm_users reach zero since the commit 6fcb52a5 ("thp: reduce usage of huge zero page's atomic counter"). So tlb_remove_page_size() for huge zero pmd is unnecessary now. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210511134857.1581273-5-linmiaohe@huawei.comReviewed-by:

Since commit 99cb0dbd ("mm,thp: add read-only THP support for (non-shmem) FS"), read-only THP file mapping is supported. But it forgot to add checking for it in transparent_hugepage_enabled(). To fix it, we add checking for read-only THP file mapping and also introduce helper transhuge_vma_enabled() to check whether thp is enabled for specified vma to reduce duplicated code. We rename transparent_hugepage_enabled to transparent_hugepage_active to make the code easier to follow as suggested by David Hildenbrand.

When we free a HugeTLB page to the buddy allocator, we need to allocate the vmemmap pages associated with it. However, we may not be able to allocate the vmemmap pages when the system is under memory pressure. In this case, we just refuse to free the HugeTLB page. This changes behavior in some corner cases as listed below: 1) Failing to free a huge page triggered by the user (decrease nr_pages). User needs to try again later. 2) Failing to free a surplus huge page when freed by the application. Try again later when freeing a huge page next time. 3) Failing to dissolve a free huge page on ZONE_MOVABLE via offline_pages(). This can happen when we have plenty of ZONE_MOVABLE memory, but not enough kernel memory to allocate vmemmmap pages. We may even be able to migrate huge page contents, but will not be able to dissolve the source huge page. This will prevent an offline operation and is unfortunate as memory offlining is expected to succeed on movable zones. Users that depend on memory hotplug to succeed for movable zones should carefully consider whether the memory savings gained from this feature are worth the risk of possibly not being able to offline memory in certain situations. 4) Failing to dissolve a huge page on CMA/ZONE_MOVABLE via alloc_contig_range() - once we have that handling in place. Mainly affects CMA and virtio-mem. Similar to 3). virito-mem will handle migration errors gracefully. CMA might be able to fallback on other free areas within the CMA region. Vmemmap pages are allocated from the page freeing context. In order for those allocations to be not disruptive (e.g. trigger oom killer) __GFP_NORETRY is used. hugetlb_lock is dropped for the allocation because a non sleeping allocation would be too fragile and it could fail too easily under memory pressure. GFP_ATOMIC or other modes to access memory reserves is not used because we want to prevent consuming reserves under heavy hugetlb freeing.

In the subsequent patch, we should allocate the vmemmap pages when freeing a HugeTLB page. But update_and_free_page() can be called under any context, so we cannot use GFP_KERNEL to allocate vmemmap pages. However, we can defer the actual freeing in a kworker to prevent from using GFP_ATOMIC to allocate the vmemmap pages. The __update_and_free_page() is where the call to allocate vmemmmap pages will be inserted. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210510030027.56044-6-songmuchun@bytedance.comSigned-off-by:

Every HugeTLB has more than one struct page structure. We __know__ that we only use the first 4 (__NR_USED_SUBPAGE) struct page structures to store metadata associated with each HugeTLB. There are a lot of struct page structures associated with each HugeTLB page. For tail pages, the value of compound_head is the same. So we can reuse first page of tail page structures. We map the virtual addresses of the remaining pages of tail page structures to the first tail page struct, and then free these page frames. Therefore, we need to reserve two pages as vmemmap areas. When we allocate a HugeTLB page from the buddy, we can free some vmemmap pages associated with each HugeTLB page. It is more appropriate to do it in the prep_new_huge_page(). The free_vmemmap_pages_per_hpage(), which indicates how many vmemmap pages associated with a HugeTLB page can be freed, returns zero for now, which means the feature is disabled. We will enable it once all the infrastructure is there.

For HugeTLB page, there are more metadata to save in the struct page. But the head struct page cannot meet our needs, so we have to abuse other tail struct page to store the metadata. In order to avoid conflicts caused by subsequent use of more tail struct pages, we can gather these discrete indexes of tail struct page. In this case, it will be easier to add a new tail page index later. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210510030027.56044-4-songmuchun@bytedance.comSigned-off-by:

The option HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP allows for the freeing of some vmemmap pages associated with pre-allocated HugeTLB pages. For example, on X86_64 6 vmemmap pages of size 4KB each can be saved for each 2MB HugeTLB page. 4094 vmemmap pages of size 4KB each can be saved for each 1GB HugeTLB page. When a HugeTLB page is allocated or freed, the vmemmap array representing the range associated with the page will need to be remapped. When a page is allocated, vmemmap pages are freed after remapping. When a page is freed, previously discarded vmemmap pages must be allocated before remapping. The config option is introduced early so that supporting code can be written to depend on the option. The initial version of the code only provides support for x86-64. If config HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE is enabled, the freeing vmemmap page code denpend on it to free vmemmap pages. Otherwise, just use free_reserved_page() to free vmemmmap pages. The routine register_page_bootmem_info() is used to register bootmem info. Therefore, make sure register_page_bootmem_info is enabled if HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP is defined.

Patch series "Free some vmemmap pages of HugeTLB page", v23. This patch series will free some vmemmap pages(struct page structures) associated with each HugeTLB page when preallocated to save memory. In order to reduce the difficulty of the first version of code review. In this version, we disable PMD/huge page mapping of vmemmap if this feature was enabled. This acutely eliminates a bunch of the complex code doing page table manipulation. When this patch series is solid, we cam add the code of vmemmap page table manipulation in the future. The struct page structures (page structs) are used to describe a physical page frame. By default, there is an one-to-one mapping from a page frame to it's corresponding page struct. The HugeTLB pages consist of multiple base page size pages and is supported by many architectures. See hugetlbpage.rst in the Documentation directory for more details. On the x86 architecture, HugeTLB pages of size 2MB and 1GB are currently supported. Since the base page size on x86 is 4KB, a 2MB HugeTLB page consists of 512 base pages and a 1GB HugeTLB page consists of 4096 base pages. For each base page, there is a corresponding page struct. Within the HugeTLB subsystem, only the first 4 page structs are used to contain unique information about a HugeTLB page. HUGETLB_CGROUP_MIN_ORDER provides this upper limit. The only 'useful' information in the remaining page structs is the compound_head field, and this field is the same for all tail pages. By removing redundant page structs for HugeTLB pages, memory can returned to the buddy allocator for other uses. When the system boot up, every 2M HugeTLB has 512 struct page structs which size is 8 pages(sizeof(struct page) * 512 / PAGE_SIZE). HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages) +-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+ | | | 0 | -------------> | 0 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 1 | -------------> | 1 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 2 | -------------> | 2 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 3 | -------------> | 3 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 4 | -------------> | 4 | | 2MB | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 5 | -------------> | 5 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 6 | -------------> | 6 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 7 | -------------> | 7 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ The value of page->compound_head is the same for all tail pages. The first page of page structs (page 0) associated with the HugeTLB page contains the 4 page structs necessary to describe the HugeTLB. The only use of the remaining pages of page structs (page 1 to page 7) is to point to page->compound_head. Therefore, we can remap pages 2 to 7 to page 1. Only 2 pages of page structs will be used for each HugeTLB page. This will allow us to free the remaining 6 pages to the buddy allocator. Here is how things look after remapping. HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages) +-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+ | | | 0 | -------------> | 0 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 1 | -------------> | 1 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 2 | ----------------^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | 3 | ------------------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | 4 | --------------------+ | | | | 2MB | +-----------+ | | | | | | 5 | ----------------------+ | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | 6 | ------------------------+ | | | +-----------+ | | | | 7 | --------------------------+ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ When a HugeTLB is freed to the buddy system, we should allocate 6 pages for vmemmap pages and restore the previous mapping relationship. Apart from 2MB HugeTLB page, we also have 1GB HugeTLB page. It is similar to the 2MB HugeTLB page. We also can use this approach to free the vmemmap pages. In this case, for the 1GB HugeTLB page, we can save 4094 pages. This is a very substantial gain. On our server, run some SPDK/QEMU applications which will use 1024GB HugeTLB page. With this feature enabled, we can save ~16GB (1G hugepage)/~12GB (2MB hugepage) memory. Because there are vmemmap page tables reconstruction on the freeing/allocating path, it increases some overhead. Here are some overhead analysis. 1) Allocating 10240 2MB HugeTLB pages. a) With this patch series applied: # time echo 10240 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages real 0m0.166s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.166s # bpftrace -e 'kprobe:alloc_fresh_huge_page { @start[tid] = nsecs; } kretprobe:alloc_fresh_huge_page /@start[tid]/ { @latency = hist(nsecs - @start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]); }' Attaching 2 probes... @latency: [8K, 16K) 5476 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@| [16K, 32K) 4760 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ | [32K, 64K) 4 | | b) Without this patch series: # time echo 10240 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages real 0m0.067s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.067s # bpftrace -e 'kprobe:alloc_fresh_huge_page { @start[tid] = nsecs; } kretprobe:alloc_fresh_huge_page /@start[tid]/ { @latency = hist(nsecs - @start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]); }' Attaching 2 probes... @latency: [4K, 8K) 10147 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@| [8K, 16K) 93 | | Summarize: this feature is about ~2x slower than before. 2) Freeing 10240 2MB HugeTLB pages. a) With this patch series applied: # time echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages real 0m0.213s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.213s # bpftrace -e 'kprobe:free_pool_huge_page { @start[tid] = nsecs; } kretprobe:free_pool_huge_page /@start[tid]/ { @latency = hist(nsecs - @start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]); }' Attaching 2 probes... @latency: [8K, 16K) 6 | | [16K, 32K) 10227 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@| [32K, 64K) 7 | | b) Without this patch series: # time echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages real 0m0.081s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.081s # bpftrace -e 'kprobe:free_pool_huge_page { @start[tid] = nsecs; } kretprobe:free_pool_huge_page /@start[tid]/ { @latency = hist(nsecs - @start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]); }' Attaching 2 probes... @latency: [4K, 8K) 6805 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@| [8K, 16K) 3427 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ | [16K, 32K) 8 | | Summary: The overhead of __free_hugepage is about ~2-3x slower than before. Although the overhead has increased, the overhead is not significant. Like Mike said, "However, remember that the majority of use cases create HugeTLB pages at or shortly after boot time and add them to the pool. So, additional overhead is at pool creation time. There is no change to 'normal run time' operations of getting a page from or returning a page to the pool (think page fault/unmap)". Despite the overhead and in addition to the memory gains from this series. The following data is obtained by Joao Martins. Very thanks to his effort. There's an additional benefit which is page (un)pinners will see an improvement and Joao presumes because there are fewer memmap pages and thus the tail/head pages are staying in cache more often. Out of the box Joao saw (when comparing linux-next against linux-next + this series) with gup_test and pinning a 16G HugeTLB file (with 1G pages): get_user_pages(): ~32k -> ~9k unpin_user_pages(): ~75k -> ~70k Usually any tight loop fetching compound_head(), or reading tail pages data (e.g. compound_head) benefit a lot. There's some unpinning inefficiencies Joao was fixing[2], but with that in added it shows even more: unpin_user_pages(): ~27k -> ~3.8k [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20210409205254.242291-1-mike.kravetz@oracle.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20210204202500.26474-1-joao.m.martins@oracle.com/ This patch (of 9): Move bootmem info registration common API to individual bootmem_info.c. And we will use {get,put}_page_bootmem() to initialize the page for the vmemmap pages or free the vmemmap pages to buddy in the later patch. So move them out of CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE. This is just code movement without any functional change.

__get_hwpoison_page() could fail to grab refcount by some race condition, so it's helpful if we can handle it by retrying. We already have retry logic, so make get_hwpoison_page() call get_any_page() when called from memory_failure(). As a result, get_hwpoison_page() can return negative values (i.e. error code), so some callers are also changed to handle error cases. soft_offline_page() does nothing for -EBUSY because that's enough and users in userspace can easily handle it. unpoison_memory() is also unchanged because it's broken and need thorough fixes (will be done later).

Now an action required MCE in already hwpoisoned address surely sends a SIGBUS to current process, but the SIGBUS doesn't convey error virtual address. That's not optimal for hwpoison-aware applications. To fix the issue, make memory_failure() call kill_accessing_process(), that does pagetable walk to find the error virtual address. It could find multiple virtual addresses for the same error page, and it seems hard to tell which virtual address is correct one. But that's rare and sending incorrect virtual address could be better than no address. So let's report the first found virtual address for now.

Dave Hansen reported the following about Feng Tang's tests on a machine with persistent memory onlined as a DRAM-like device. Feng Tang tossed these on a "Cascade Lake" system with 96 threads and ~512G of persistent memory and 128G of DRAM. The PMEM is in "volatile use" mode and being managed via the buddy just like the normal RAM. The PMEM zones are big ones: present 65011712 = 248 G high 134595 = 525 M The PMEM nodes, of course, don't have any CPUs in them. With your series, the pcp->high value per-cpu is 69584 pages or about 270MB per CPU. Scaled up by the 96 CPU threads, that's ~26GB of worst-case memory in the pcps per zone, or roughly 10% of the size of the zone. This should not cause a problem as such although it could trigger reclaim due to pages being stored on per-cpu lists for CPUs remote to a node. It is not possible to treat cpuless nodes exactly the same as normal nodes but the worst-case scenario can be mitigated by splitting pcp->high across all online CPUs for cpuless memory nodes.
