Patch series "hugetlb: Fix some incorrect behavior", v3. This series fix three bugs of hugetlb: 1) Invalid use of nr_online_nodes; 2) Inconsistency between 1G hugepage and 2M hugepage; 3) Useless information in dmesg. This patch (of 4): Certain systems are designed to have sparse/discontiguous nodes. In this case, nr_online_nodes can not be used to walk through numa node. Also, a valid node may be greater than nr_online_nodes. However, in hugetlb, it is assumed that nodes are contiguous. For sparse/discontiguous nodes, the current code may treat a valid node as invalid, and will fail to allocate all hugepages on a valid node that "nid >= nr_online_nodes". As David suggested: if (tmp >= nr_online_nodes) goto invalid; Just imagine node 0 and node 2 are online, and node 1 is offline. Assuming that "node < 2" is valid is wrong. Recheck all the places that use nr_online_nodes, and repair them one by one.

__add_memory_block() calls both put_device() and device_unregister() when storing the memory block into the xarray. This is incorrect because xarray doesn't take an additional reference and device_unregister() already calls put_device(). Triggering the issue looks really unlikely and its only effect should be to log a spurious warning about a ref counted issue.

Since commit efe771c7 ("mm, compaction: always finish scanning of a full pageblock"), compaction will always finish scanning a pageblock. And migrate_pfn is assured to align with pageblock_nr_pages when we reach here. So we will always return COMPACT_SUCCESS if a suitable fallback is found due to the below IS_ALIGNED check of migrate_pfn. Simplify the code to make this clear and improve the readability.

Users may use ksm by calling madvise(, , MADV_MERGEABLE) when they want to save memory, it's a tradeoff by suffering delay on ksm cow. Users can get to know how much memory ksm saved by reading /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_sharing, but they don't know what's the costs of ksm cow, and this is important of some delay sensitive tasks. So add ksm cow events to help users evaluate whether or how to use ksm. Also update Documentation/admin-guide/mm/ksm.rst with new added events.

Some applications or containers want to use KSM by calling madvise() to advise areas of address space to be MERGEABLE. But they may not know which applications are more likely to cause real merges in the deployment. If this patch is applied, it helps them know their corresponding number of merged pages, and then optimize their app code. As current KSM only counts the number of KSM merging pages(e.g. ksm_pages_sharing and ksm_pages_shared) of the whole system, we cannot see the more fine-grained KSM merging, for the upper application optimization, the merging area cannot be set easily according to the KSM page merging probability of each process. Therefore, it is necessary to add extra statistical means so that the upper level users can know the detailed KSM merging information of each process. We add a new proc file named as ksm_merging_pages under /proc/<pid>/ to indicate the involved ksm merging pages of this process.

The stub for non_swap_entry() may not help much, because MAX_SWAPFILES has already contained all the information to decide whether a swap entry is real swap entry or pesudo ones (migrations, ...). There can be some performance influences on non_swap_entry() with below conditions all met: !CONFIG_MIGRATION && !CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE && !CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE But that's definitely not the major config most machines will use, at the meantime it's already in a slow path of swap entry (being parsed from a swap pte), so IMHO it shouldn't be a major issue. Also according to the analysis from Alistair, somehow the stub didn't do the job right [1]. To make the code cleaner, let's drop the stub. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/8735ihbw6g.fsf@nvdebian.thelocal/ Note: the uffd-wp shmem & hugetlbfs series will need this patch to make sure swap entries work as expected with below config as spotted by Alistair: !CONFIG_MIGRATION && !CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE && !CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE && CONFIG_PTE_MARKER (PS: this config should mostly never gonna happen, though, afaict..)

Currently memmap_init_zone_device() ends up initializing 32768 pages when it only needs to initialize 128 given tail page reuse. That number is worse with 1GB compound pages, 262144 instead of 128. Update memmap_init_zone_device() to skip redundant initialization, detailed below. When a pgmap @vmemmap_shift is set, all pages are mapped at a given huge page alignment and use compound pages to describe them as opposed to a struct per 4K. With @vmemmap_shift > 0 and when struct pages are stored in ram (!altmap) most tail pages are reused. Consequently, the amount of unique struct pages is a lot smaller than the total amount of struct pages being mapped. The altmap path is left alone since it does not support memory savings based on compound pages devmap. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220420155310.9712-6-joao.m.martins@oracle.comSigned-off-by:

Joao Martins authored
A compound devmap is a dev_pagemap with @vmemmap_shift > 0 and it means that pages are mapped at a given huge page alignment and utilize uses compound pages as opposed to order-0 pages. Take advantage of the fact that most tail pages look the same (except the first two) to minimize struct page overhead. Allocate a separate page for the vmemmap area which contains the head page and separate for the next 64 pages. The rest of the subsections then reuse this tail vmemmap page to initialize the rest of the tail pages. Sections are arch-dependent (e.g. on x86 it's 64M, 128M or 512M) and when initializing compound devmap with big enough @vmemmap_shift (e.g. 1G PUD) it may cross multiple sections. The vmemmap code needs to consult @pgmap so that multiple sections that all map the same tail data can refer back to the first copy of that data for a given gigantic page. On compound devmaps with 2M align, this mechanism lets 6 pages be saved out of the 8 necessary PFNs necessary to set the subsection's 512 struct pages being mapped. On a 1G compound devmap it saves 4094 pages. Altmap isn't supported yet, given various restrictions in altmap pfn allocator, thus fallback to the already in use vmemmap_populate(). It is worth noting that altmap for devmap mappings was there to relieve the pressure of inordinate amounts of memmap space to map terabytes of pmem. With compound pages the motivation for altmaps for pmem gets reduced. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220420155310.9712-5-joao.m.martins@oracle.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "sparse-vmemmap: memory savings for compound devmaps (device-dax)", v9. This series minimizes 'struct page' overhead by pursuing a similar approach as Muchun Song series "Free some vmemmap pages of hugetlb page" (now merged since v5.14), but applied to devmap with @vmemmap_shift (device-dax). The vmemmap dedpulication original idea (already used in HugeTLB) is to reuse/deduplicate tail page vmemmap areas, particular the area which only describes tail pages. So a vmemmap page describes 64 struct pages, and the first page for a given ZONE_DEVICE vmemmap would contain the head page and 63 tail pages. The second vmemmap page would contain only tail pages, and that's what gets reused across the rest of the subsection/section. The bigger the page size, the bigger the savings (2M hpage -> save 6 vmemmap pages; 1G hpage -> save 4094 vmemmap pages). This is done for PMEM /specifically only/ on device-dax configured namespaces, not fsdax. In other words, a devmap with a @vmemmap_shift. In terms of savings, per 1Tb of memory, the struct page cost would go down with compound devmap: * with 2M pages we lose 4G instead of 16G (0.39% instead of 1.5% of total memory) * with 1G pages we lose 40MB instead of 16G (0.0014% instead of 1.5% of total memory) The series is mostly summed up by patch 4, and to summarize what the series does: Patches 1 - 3: Minor cleanups in preparation for patch 4. Move the very nice docs of hugetlb_vmemmap.c into a Documentation/vm/ entry. Patch 4: Patch 4 is the one that takes care of the struct page savings (also referred to here as tail-page/vmemmap deduplication). Much like Muchun series, we reuse the second PTE tail page vmemmap areas across a given @vmemmap_shift On important difference though, is that contrary to the hugetlbfs series, there's no vmemmap for the area because we are late-populating it as opposed to remapping a system-ram range. IOW no freeing of pages of already initialized vmemmap like the case for hugetlbfs, which greatly simplifies the logic (besides not being arch-specific). altmap case unchanged and still goes via the vmemmap_populate(). Also adjust the newly added docs to the device-dax case. [Note that device-dax is still a little behind HugeTLB in terms of savings. I have an additional simple patch that reuses the head vmemmap page too, as a follow-up. That will double the savings and namespaces initialization.] Patch 5: Initialize fewer struct pages depending on the page size with DRAM backed struct pages -- because fewer pages are unique and most tail pages (with bigger vmemmap_shift). NVDIMM namespace bootstrap improves from ~268-358 ms to ~80-110/<1ms on 128G NVDIMMs with 2M and 1G respectivally. And struct page needed capacity will be 3.8x / 1071x smaller for 2M and 1G respectivelly. Tested on x86 with 1.5Tb of pmem (including pinning, and RDMA registration/deregistration scalability with 2M MRs) This patch (of 5): In support of using compound pages for devmap mappings, plumb the pgmap down to the vmemmap_populate implementation. Note that while altmap is retrievable from pgmap the memory hotplug code passes altmap without pgmap[*], so both need to be independently plumbed. So in addition to @altmap, pass @pgmap to sparse section populate functions namely: sparse_add_section section_activate populate_section_memmap __populate_section_memmap Passing @pgmap allows __populate_section_memmap() to both fetch the vmemmap_shift in which memmap metadata is created for and also to let sparse-vmemmap fetch pgmap ranges to co-relate to a given section and pick whether to just reuse tail pages from past onlined sections. While at it, fix the kdoc for @altmap for sparse_add_section().

Patch series "mm/mmap: Drop arch_vm_get_page_prot() and arch_filter_pgprot()", v7. protection_map[] is an array based construct that translates given vm_flags combination. This array contains page protection map, which is populated by the platform via [__S000 .. __S111] and [__P000 .. __P111] exported macros. Primary usage for protection_map[] is for vm_get_page_prot(), which is used to determine page protection value for a given vm_flags. vm_get_page_prot() implementation, could again call platform overrides arch_vm_get_page_prot() and arch_filter_pgprot(). Some platforms override protection_map[] that was originally built with __SXXX/__PXXX with different runtime values. Currently there are multiple layers of abstraction i.e __SXXX/__PXXX macros , protection_map[], arch_vm_get_page_prot() and arch_filter_pgprot() built between the platform and generic MM, finally defining vm_get_page_prot(). Hence this series proposes to drop later two abstraction levels and instead just move the responsibility of defining vm_get_page_prot() to the platform (still utilizing generic protection_map[] array) itself making it clean and simple. This first introduces ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT which enables the platforms to define custom vm_get_page_prot(). This starts converting platforms that define the overrides arch_filter_pgprot() or arch_vm_get_page_prot() which enables for those constructs to be dropped off completely. The series has been inspired from an earlier discuss with Christoph Hellwig https://lore.kernel.org/all/1632712920-8171-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/ This patch (of 7): Add a new config ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT, which when subscribed enables a given platform to define its own vm_get_page_prot() but still utilizing the generic protection_map[] array.

Use helper mlock_future_check() to check whether it's safe to enlarge the locked_vm to simplify the code. Minor readability improvement. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220402032231.64974-1-linmiaohe@huawei.comSigned-off-by:

protection_map[] maps vm_flags access combinations into page protection value as defined by the platform via __PXXX and __SXXX macros. The array indices in protection_map[], represents vm_flags access combinations but it's not very intuitive to derive. This makes it clear and explicit.

Patch series "mm: protection_map[] cleanups". This patch (of 2): Although protection_map[] contains the platform defined page protection map for a given vm_flags combination, vm_get_page_prot() is the right interface to use. This will also reduce dependency on protection_map[] which is going to be dropped off completely later on.

free a large list of pages maybe cause rcu_sched starved on non-preemptible kernels. howerver free_unref_page_list maybe can't cond_resched as it maybe called in interrupt or atomic context, especially can't detect atomic context in CONFIG_PREEMPTION=n. The issue is detected in guest with kvm cpu 200% overcommit, however I didn't see the warning in the host with the same application. I'm sure that the patch is needed for guest kernel, but no sure for host. To reproduce, set up two virtual machines in one host machine, per vm has the same number cpu and half memory of host. the run ltpstress.sh in per vm, then will see rcu stall warning.kernel is preempt disabled, append kernel command 'preempt=none' if enable dynamic preempt . It could detected in loongson machine(32 core, 128G mem) and ProLiant DL380 Gen9(x86 E5-2680, 28 core, 64G mem) tlb flush batch count depends on PAGE_SIZE, it's too large if PAGE_SIZE > 4K, here limit free batch count with 512.
