With the ptep API sufficiently refactored, we can now introduce a new "contpte" API layer, which transparently manages the PTE_CONT bit for user mappings. In this initial implementation, only suitable batches of PTEs, set via set_ptes(), are mapped with the PTE_CONT bit. Any subsequent modification of individual PTEs will cause an "unfold" operation to repaint the contpte block as individual PTEs before performing the requested operation. While, a modification of a single PTE could cause the block of PTEs to which it belongs to become eligible for "folding" into a contpte entry, "folding" is not performed in this initial implementation due to the costs of checking the requirements are met. Due to this, contpte mappings will degrade back to normal pte mappings over time if/when protections are changed. This will be solved in a future patch. Since a contpte block only has a single access and dirty bit, the semantic here changes slightly; when getting a pte (e.g. ptep_get()) that is part of a contpte mapping, the access and dirty information are pulled from the block (so all ptes in the block return the same access/dirty info). When changing the access/dirty info on a pte (e.g. ptep_set_access_flags()) that is part of a contpte mapping, this change will affect the whole contpte block. This is works fine in practice since we guarantee that only a single folio is mapped by a contpte block, and the core-mm tracks access/dirty information per folio. In order for the public functions, which used to be pure inline, to continue to be callable by modules, export all the contpte_* symbols that are now called by those public inline functions. The feature is enabled/disabled with the ARM64_CONTPTE Kconfig parameter at build time. It defaults to enabled as long as its dependency, TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is also enabled. The core-mm depends upon TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE to be able to allocate large folios, so if its not enabled, then there is no chance of meeting the physical contiguity requirement for contpte mappings.

Split __flush_tlb_range() into __flush_tlb_range_nosync() + __flush_tlb_range(), in the same way as the existing flush_tlb_page() arrangement. This allows calling __flush_tlb_range_nosync() to elide the trailing DSB. Forthcoming "contpte" code will take advantage of this when clearing the young bit from a contiguous range of ptes. Ordering between dsb and mmu_notifier_arch_invalidate_secondary_tlbs() has changed, but now aligns with the ordering of __flush_tlb_page(). It has been discussed that __flush_tlb_page() may be wrong though. Regardless, both will be resolved separately if needed.

Create a new layer for the in-table PTE manipulation APIs. For now, The existing API is prefixed with double underscore to become the arch-private API and the public API is just a simple wrapper that calls the private API. The public API implementation will subsequently be used to transparently manipulate the contiguous bit where appropriate. But since there are already some contig-aware users (e.g. hugetlb, kernel mapper), we must first ensure those users use the private API directly so that the future contig-bit manipulations in the public API do not interfere with those existing uses. The following APIs are treated this way: - ptep_get - set_pte - set_ptes - pte_clear - ptep_get_and_clear - ptep_test_and_clear_young - ptep_clear_flush_young - ptep_set_wrprotect - ptep_set_access_flags Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240215103205.2607016-11-ryan.roberts@arm.comSigned-off-by:

ptep_clear() is a generic wrapper around the arch-implemented ptep_get_and_clear(). We are about to convert ptep_get_and_clear() into a public version and private version (__ptep_get_and_clear()) to support the transparent contpte work. We won't have a private version of ptep_clear() so let's convert it to directly call ptep_get_and_clear(). Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240215103205.2607016-10-ryan.roberts@arm.comSigned-off-by:

Since set_ptes() was introduced, set_pte_at() has been implemented as a generic macro around set_ptes(..., 1). So this change should continue to generate the same code. However, making this change prepares us for the transparent contpte support. It means we can reroute set_ptes() to __set_ptes(). Since set_pte_at() is a generic macro, there will be no equivalent __set_pte_at() to reroute to. Note that a couple of calls to set_pte_at() remain in the arch code. This is intentional, since those call sites are acting on behalf of core-mm and should continue to call into the public set_ptes() rather than the arch-private __set_ptes().

There are a number of places in the arch code that read a pte by using the READ_ONCE() macro. Refactor these call sites to instead use the ptep_get() helper, which itself is a READ_ONCE(). Generated code should be the same. This will benefit us when we shortly introduce the transparent contpte support. In this case, ptep_get() will become more complex so we now have all the code abstracted through it. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240215103205.2607016-8-ryan.roberts@arm.comSigned-off-by:

The goal is to be able to advance a PTE by an arbitrary number of PFNs. So introduce a new API that takes a nr param. Define the default implementation here and allow for architectures to override. pte_next_pfn() becomes a wrapper around pte_advance_pfn(). Follow up commits will convert each overriding architecture's pte_next_pfn() to pte_advance_pfn(). Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240215103205.2607016-4-ryan.roberts@arm.comSigned-off-by:

Refactor __split_huge_pmd_locked() so that a present PMD can be collapsed to PTEs in a single batch using set_ptes(). This should improve performance a little bit, but the real motivation is to remove the need for the arm64 backend to have to fold the contpte entries. Instead, since the ptes are set as a batch, the contpte blocks can be initially set up pre-folded (once the arm64 contpte support is added in the next few patches). This leads to noticeable performance improvement during split. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240215103205.2607016-3-ryan.roberts@arm.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings", v6. This is a series to opportunistically and transparently use contpte mappings (set the contiguous bit in ptes) for user memory when those mappings meet the requirements. The change benefits arm64, but there is some (very) minor refactoring for x86 to enable its integration with core-mm. It is part of a wider effort to improve performance by allocating and mapping variable-sized blocks of memory (folios). One aim is for the 4K kernel to approach the performance of the 16K kernel, but without breaking compatibility and without the associated increase in memory. Another aim is to benefit the 16K and 64K kernels by enabling 2M THP, since this is the contpte size for those kernels. We have good performance data that demonstrates both aims are being met (see below). Of course this is only one half of the change. We require the mapped physical memory to be the correct size and alignment for this to actually be useful (i.e. 64K for 4K pages, or 2M for 16K/64K pages). Fortunately folios are solving this problem for us. Filesystems that support it (XFS, AFS, EROFS, tmpfs, ...) will allocate large folios up to the PMD size today, and more filesystems are coming. And for anonymous memory, "multi-size THP" is now upstream. Patch Layout ============ In this version, I've split the patches to better show each optimization: - 1-2: mm prep: misc code and docs cleanups - 3-6: mm,arm64,x86 prep: Add pte_advance_pfn() and make pte_next_pfn() a generic wrapper around it - 7-11: arm64 prep: Refactor ptep helpers into new layer - 12: functional contpte implementation - 23-18: various optimizations on top of the contpte implementation Testing ======= I've tested this series on both Ampere Altra (bare metal) and Apple M2 (VM): - mm selftests (inc new tests written for multi-size THP); no regressions - Speedometer Java script benchmark in Chromium web browser; no issues - Kernel compilation; no issues - Various tests under high memory pressure with swap enabled; no issues Performance =========== High Level Use Cases ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ First some high level use cases (kernel compilation and speedometer JavaScript benchmarks).

However, set_pte_at() has been implemented on top of set_ptes() since set_ptes() was introduced, and set_pte_at() allows setting a pte to a not-present state. So clarify the spec to state that when nr==1, new state of pte may be present or not present. When nr>1, new state of all ptes must be present. While we are at it, tighten the spec to set requirements around the initial state of ptes; when nr==1 it may be either present or not-present. But when nr>1 all ptes must initially be not-present. All set_ptes() callsites already conform to this requirement. Stating it explicitly is useful because it allows for a simplification to the upcoming arm64 contpte implementation.

Similar to how we optimized fork(), let's implement PTE batching when consecutive (present) PTEs map consecutive pages of the same large folio. Most infrastructure we need for batching (mmu gather, rmap) is already there. We only have to add get_and_clear_full_ptes() and clear_full_ptes(). Similarly, extend zap_install_uffd_wp_if_needed() to process a PTE range. We won't bother sanity-checking the mapcount of all subpages, but only check the mapcount of the first subpage we process. If there is a real problem hiding somewhere, we can trigger it simply by using small folios, or when we zap single pages of a large folio. Ideally, we had that check in rmap code (including for delayed rmap), but then we cannot print the PTE. Let's keep it simple for now. If we ever have a cheap folio_mapcount(), we might just want to check for underflows there. To keep small folios as fast as possible force inlining of a specialized variant using __always_inline with nr=1.

In tlb_batch_pages_flush(), we can end up freeing up to 512 pages or now up to 256 folio fragments that span more than one page, before we conditionally reschedule. It's a pain that we have to handle cond_resched() in tlb_batch_pages_flush() manually and cannot simply handle it in release_pages() -- release_pages() can be called from atomic context. Well, in a perfect world we wouldn't have to make our code more complicated at all. With page poisoning and init_on_free, we might now run into soft lockups when we free a lot of rather large folio fragments, because page freeing time then depends on the actual memory size we are freeing instead of on the number of folios that are involved. In the absolute (unlikely) worst case, on arm64 with 64k we will be able to free up to 256 folio fragments that each span 512 MiB: zeroing out 128 GiB does sound like it might take a while. But instead of ignoring this unlikely case, let's just handle it. So, let's teach tlb_batch_pages_flush() that there are some configurations where page freeing is horribly slow, and let's reschedule more frequently -- similarly like we did for now before we had large folio fragments in there. Avoid yet another loop over all encoded pages in the common case by handling that separately. Note that with page poisoning/zeroing, we might now end up freeing only a single folio fragment at a time that might exceed the old 512 pages limit: but if we cannot even free a single MAX_ORDER page on a system without running into soft lockups, something else is already completely bogus. Freeing a PMD-mapped THP would similarly cause trouble. In theory, we might even free 511 order-0 pages + a single MAX_ORDER page, effectively having to zero out 8703 pages on arm64 with 64k, translating to ~544 MiB of memory: however, if 512 MiB doesn't result in soft lockups, 544 MiB is unlikely to result in soft lockups, so we won't care about that for the time being. In the future, we might want to detect if handling cond_resched() is required at all, and just not do any of that with full preemption enabled.

Add __tlb_remove_folio_pages(), which will remove multiple consecutive pages that belong to the same large folio, instead of only a single page. We'll be using this function when optimizing unmapping/zapping of large folios that are mapped by PTEs. We're using the remaining spare bit in an encoded_page to indicate that the next enoced page in an array contains actually shifted "nr_pages". Teach swap/freeing code about putting multiple folio references, and delayed rmap handling to remove page ranges of a folio. This extension allows for still gathering almost as many small folios as we used to (-1, because we have to prepare for a possibly bigger next entry), but still allows for gathering consecutive pages that belong to the same large folio. Note that we don't pass the folio pointer, because it is not required for now. Further, we don't support page_size != PAGE_SIZE, it won't be required for simple PTE batching. We have to provide a separate s390 implementation, but it's fairly straight forward. Another, more invasive and likely more expensive, approach would be to use folio+range or a PFN range instead of page+nr_pages. But, we should do that consistently for the whole mmu_gather. For now, let's keep it simple and add "nr_pages" only. Note that it is now possible to gather significantly more pages: In the past, we were able to gather ~10000 pages, now we can also gather ~5000 folio fragments that span multiple pages. A folio fragment on x86-64 can span up to 512 pages (2 MiB THP) and on arm64 with 64k in theory 8192 pages (512 MiB THP). Gathering more memory is not considered something we should worry about, especially because these are already corner cases. While we can gather more total memory, we won't free more folio fragments. As long as page freeing time primarily only depends on the number of involved folios, there is no effective change for !preempt configurations. However, we'll adjust tlb_batch_pages_flush() separately to handle corner cases where page freeing time grows proportionally with the actual memory size.

Nowadays, encoded pages are only used in mmu_gather handling. Let's update the documentation, and define ENCODED_PAGE_BIT_DELAY_RMAP. While at it, rename ENCODE_PAGE_BITS to ENCODED_PAGE_BITS.

We have two bits available in the encoded page pointer to store additional information. Currently, we use one bit to request delay of the rmap removal until after a TLB flush. We want to make use of the remaining bit internally for batching of multiple pages of the same folio, specifying that the next encoded page pointer in an array is actually "nr_pages". So pass page + delay_rmap flag instead of an encoded page, to handle the encoding internally. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240214204435.167852-6-david@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

We don't need up-to-date accessed-dirty information for anon folios and can simply work with the ptent we already have. Also, we know the RSS counter we want to update. We can safely move arch_check_zapped_pte() + tlb_remove_tlb_entry() + zap_install_uffd_wp_if_needed() after updating the folio and RSS. While at it, only call zap_install_uffd_wp_if_needed() if there is even any chance that pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed() would do *something*. That is, just don't bother if uffd-wp does not apply.

We don't need uptodate accessed/dirty bits, so in theory we could replace ptep_get_and_clear_full() by an optimized ptep_clear_full() function. Let's rely on the provided pte. Further, there is no scenario where we would have to insert uffd-wp markers when zapping something that is not a normal page (i.e., zeropage). Add a sanity check to make sure this remains true. should_zap_folio() no longer has to handle NULL pointers. This change replaces 2/3 "!page/!folio" checks by a single "!page" one. Note that arch_check_zapped_pte() on x86-64 checks the HW-dirty bit to detect shadow stack entries. But for shadow stack entries, the HW dirty bit (in combination with non-writable PTEs) is set by software. So for the arch_check_zapped_pte() check, we don't have to sync against HW setting the HW dirty bit concurrently, it is always set.

We collect consecutive PTEs that map consecutive pages of the same large folio, making sure that the other PTE bits are compatible, and (a) adjust the refcount only once per batch, (b) call rmap handling functions only once per batch, (c) perform batch PTE setting/updates and (d) perform TLB entry removal once per batch. Ryan was previously working on this in the context of cont-pte for arm64, int latest iteration [2] with a focus on arm6 with cont-pte only. This series implements the optimization for all architectures, independent of such PTE bits, teaches MMU gather/TLB code to be fully aware of such large-folio-pages batches as well, and amkes use of our new rmap batching function when removing the rmap. To achieve that, we have to enlighten MMU gather / page freeing code (i.e., everything that consumes encoded_page) to process unmapping of consecutive pages that all belong to the same large folio. I'm being very careful to not degrade order-0 performance, and it looks like I managed to achieve that. While this series should -- similar to [1] -- be beneficial for adding cont-pte support on arm64[2], it's one of the requirements for maintaining a total mapcount[3] for large folios with minimal added overhead and further changes[4] that build up on top of the total mapcount. Independent of all that, this series results in a speedup during munmap() and similar unmapping (process teardown, MADV_DONTNEED on larger ranges) with PTE-mapped THP, which is the default with THPs that are smaller than a PMD (for example, 16KiB to 1024KiB mTHPs for anonymous memory[5]). On an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R CPU, munmap'ing a 1GiB VMA backed by PTE-mapped folios of the same size (stddev < 1%) results in the following runtimes for munmap() in seconds (shorter is better): Folio Size | mm-unstable | New | Change --------------------------------------------- 4KiB | 0.058110 | 0.057715 | - 1% 16KiB | 0.044198 | 0.035469 | -20% 32KiB | 0.034216 | 0.023522 | -31% 64KiB | 0.029207 | 0.018434 | -37% 128KiB | 0.026579 | 0.014026 | -47% 256KiB | 0.025130 | 0.011756 | -53% 512KiB | 0.024292 | 0.010703 | -56% 1024KiB | 0.023812 | 0.010294 | -57% 2048KiB | 0.023785 | 0.009910 | -58% [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240129124649.189745-1-david@redhat.com [2] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231218105100.172635-1-ryan.roberts@arm.com [3] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230809083256.699513-1-david@redhat.com [4] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231124132626.235350-1-david@redhat.com [5] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231207161211.2374093-1-ryan.roberts@arm.com This patch (of 10): Let's prepare for further changes by factoring out processing of present PTEs.

Add a selftest to cover the zswapin code path, allocating more memory than the cgroup limit to trigger swapout/zswapout, then reading the pages back in memory several times. This is inspired by a recently encountered kernel crash on the zswapin path in our internal kernel, which went undetected because of a lack of test coverage for this path. Add a selftest to verify that when memory.zswap.max = 0, no pages can go to the zswap pool for the cgroup.

Patch series "fix and extend zswap kselftests", v3. Fix a broken zswap kselftest due to cgroup zswap writeback counter renaming, and add 2 zswap kselftests, one to cover the (z)swapin case, and another to check that no zswapping happens when the cgroup limit is 0. Also, add the zswap kselftest file to zswap maintainer entry so that get_maintainers script can find zswap maintainers. This patch (of 3): Make it easier for contributors to find the zswap maintainers when they update the zswap tests.

It can not improve the fragmentation if we isolate the target free pages exceeding cc->order, especially when the cc->order is less than pageblock_order. For example, suppose the pageblock_order is MAX_ORDER (size is 4M) and cc->order is 2M THP size, we should not isolate other 2M free pages to be the migration target, which can not improve the fragmentation. Moreover this is also applicable for large folio compaction. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/afcd9377351c259df7a25a388a4a0d5862b986f4.1705928395.git.baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.comSigned-off-by:

Currently zram allocates 2 physically contiguous pages per-CPU's compression stream (we may have up to 4 streams per-CPU). Since those buffers are per-CPU we allocate them from CPU hotplug path, which may have higher risks of failed allocations on devices with fragmented memory. Switch to virtually contiguous allocations - crypto comp does not seem impose requirements on compression working buffers to be physically contiguous.

The memalloc_noreclaim_save() function currently has no documentation comment, so the implications of its usage are not obvious. Namely that it not only prevents entering reclaim (as the name suggests), but also allows using all memory reserves and thus should be only used in contexts that are allocating memory to free memory. This may lead to new improper usages being added. Thus add a documenting comment, based on the description of __GFP_MEMALLOC. While at it, also document memalloc_pin_save() so that all the memalloc_ scopes are documented. For those already documented, add missing Return: descriptions, and mark Context: description per kernel-docs style guide. In the comments describing the relevant PF_MEMALLOC flags, refer to their scope setting functions.

We may encounter duplicate entry in the zswap_store(): 1. swap slot that freed to per-cpu swap cache, doesn't invalidate the zswap entry, then got reused. This has been fixed. 2. !exclusive load mode, swapin folio will leave its zswap entry on the tree, then swapout again. This has been removed. 3. one folio can be dirtied again after zswap_store(), so need to zswap_store() again. This should be handled correctly. So we must invalidate the old duplicate entry before inserting the new one, which actually doesn't have to be done at the beginning of zswap_store(). The good point is that we don't need to lock the tree twice in the normal store success path. And cleanup the loop as we are here. Note we still need to invalidate the old duplicate entry when store failed or zswap is disabled , otherwise the new data in swapfile could be overwrite by the old data in zswap pool when lru writeback.

Every test result report in the compaction test prints a distinct log messae, and some of the reports print a name that varies at runtime. This causes problems for automation since a lot of automation software uses the printed string as the name of the test, if the name varies from run to run and from pass to fail then the automation software can't identify that a test changed result or that the same tests are being run. Refactor the logging to use a consistent name when printing the result of the test, printing the existing messages as diagnostic information instead so they are still available for people trying to interpret the results.

Patch series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction test". A couple of small updates for the check_compaction selftest which make it play more nicely with test automation systems. This patch (of 2): When the compaction test is run it checks to make sure that prerequistives the test requires are available and skips the tests if not. When this happens we log the test as a pass rather than a skip, log as a skip so that the distinction is clear and automation can see unexpected skips.

This adds the following new sysfs file tracking the number of successfully released pages from a given CMA heap area. This file will be available via CONFIG_CMA_SYSFS and help in determining active CMA pages available on the CMA heap area. This adds a new 'nr_pages_released' (CONFIG_CMA_SYSFS) into 'struct cma' which gets updated during cma_release(). /sys/kernel/mm/cma/<cma-heap-area>/release_pages_success After this change, an user will be able to find active CMA pages available in a given CMA heap area via the following method. Active pages = alloc_pages_success - release_pages_success That's valuable information for both software designers, and system admins as it allows them to tune the number of CMA pages available in the system. This increases user visibility for allocated CMA area and its utilization. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240206045731.472759-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.comSigned-off-by:
