I. Background: Sparse Memory Mappings When we manage sparse memory mappings dynamically in user space - also sometimes involving MAP_NORESERVE - we want to dynamically populate/ discard memory inside such a sparse memory region. Example users are hypervisors (especially implementing memory ballooning or similar technologies like virtio-mem) and memory allocators. In addition, we want to fail in a nice way (instead of generating SIGBUS) if populating does not succeed because we are out of backend memory (which can happen easily with file-based mappings, especially tmpfs and hugetlbfs). While MADV_DONTNEED, MADV_REMOVE and FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE allow for reliably discarding memory for most mapping types, there is no generic approach to populate page tables and preallocate memory. Although mmap() supports MAP_POPULATE, it is not applicable to the concept of sparse memory mappings, where we want to populate/discard dynamically and avoid expensive/problematic remappings. In addition, we never actually report errors during the final populate phase - it is best-effort only. fallocate() can be used to preallocate file-based memory and fail in a safe way. However, it cannot really be used for any private mappings on anonymous files via memfd due to COW semantics. In addition, fallocate() does not actually populate page tables, so we still always get pagefaults on first access - which is sometimes undesired (i.e., real-time workloads) and requires real prefaulting of page tables, not just a preallocation of backend storage. There might be interesting use cases for sparse memory regions along with mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) which fallocate() cannot satisfy as it does not prefault page tables. II. On preallcoation/prefaulting from user space Because we don't have a proper interface, what applications (like QEMU and databases) end up doing is touching (i.e., reading+writing one byte to not overwrite existing data) all individual pages. However, that approach 1) Can result in wear on storage backing, because we end up reading/writing each page; this is especially a problem for dax/pmem. 2) Can result in mmap_sem contention when prefaulting via multiple threads. 3) Requires expensive signal handling, especially to catch SIGBUS in case of hugetlbfs/shmem/file-backed memory. For example, this is problematic in hypervisors like QEMU where SIGBUS handlers might already be used by other subsystems concurrently to e.g, handle hardware errors. "Simply" doing preallocation concurrently from other thread is not that easy. III. On MADV_WILLNEED Extending MADV_WILLNEED is not an option because 1. It would change the semantics: "Expect access in the near future." and "might be a good idea to read some pages" vs. "Definitely populate/ preallocate all memory and definitely fail on errors.". 2. Existing users (like virtio-balloon in QEMU when deflating the balloon) don't want populate/prealloc semantics. They treat this rather as a hint to give a little performance boost without too much overhead - and don't expect that a lot of memory might get consumed or a lot of time might be spent. IV. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE Let's introduce MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE, inspired by MAP_POPULATE, with the following semantics: 1. MADV_POPULATE_READ can be used to prefault page tables just like manually reading each individual page. This will not break any COW mappings. The shared zero page might get mapped and no backend storage might get preallocated -- allocation might be deferred to write-fault time. Especially shared file mappings require an explicit fallocate() upfront to actually preallocate backend memory (blocks in the file system) in case the file might have holes. 2. If MADV_POPULATE_READ succeeds, all page tables have been populated (prefaulted) readable once. 3. MADV_POPULATE_WRITE can be used to preallocate backend memory and prefault page tables just like manually writing (or reading+writing) each individual page. This will break any COW mappings -- e.g., the shared zeropage is never populated. 4. If MADV_POPULATE_WRITE succeeds, all page tables have been populated (prefaulted) writable once. 5. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE cannot be applied to special mappings marked with VM_PFNMAP and VM_IO. Also, proper access permissions (e.g., PROT_READ, PROT_WRITE) are required. If any such mapping is encountered, madvise() fails with -EINVAL. 6. If MADV_POPULATE_READ or MADV_POPULATE_WRITE fails, some page tables might have been populated. 7. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE will return -EHWPOISON when encountering a HW poisoned page in the range. 8. Similar to MAP_POPULATE, MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE cannot protect from the OOM (Out Of Memory) handler killing the process. While the use case for MADV_POPULATE_WRITE is fairly obvious (i.e., preallocate memory and prefault page tables for VMs), one issue is that whenever we prefault pages writable, the pages have to be marked dirty, because the CPU could dirty them any time. while not a real problem for hugetlbfs or dax/pmem, it can be a problem for shared file mappings: each page will be marked dirty and has to be written back later when evicting. MADV_POPULATE_READ allows for optimizing this scenario: Pre-read a whole mapping from backend storage without marking it dirty, such that eviction won't have to write it back. As discussed above, shared file mappings might require an explciit fallocate() upfront to achieve preallcoation+prepopulation. Although sparse memory mappings are the primary use case, this will also be useful for other preallocate/prefault use cases where MAP_POPULATE is not desired or the semantics of MAP_POPULATE are not sufficient: as one example, QEMU users can trigger preallocation/prefaulting of guest RAM after the mapping was created -- and don't want errors to be silently suppressed. Looking at the history, MADV_POPULATE was already proposed in 2013 [1], however, the main motivation back than was performance improvements -- which should also still be the case. V. Single-threaded performance comparison I did a short experiment, prefaulting page tables on completely *empty mappings/files* and repeated the experiment 10 times. The results correspond to the shortest execution time. In general, the performance benefit for huge pages is negligible with small mappings. V.1: Private mappings POPULATE_READ and POPULATE_WRITE is fastest. Note that Reading/POPULATE_READ will populate the shared zeropage where applicable -- which result in short population times. The fastest way to allocate backend storage (here: swap or huge pages) and prefault page tables is POPULATE_WRITE. V.2: Shared mappings fallocate() is fastest, however, doesn't prefault page tables. POPULATE_WRITE is faster than simple writes and read/writes. POPULATE_READ is faster than simple reads. Without a fd, the fastest way to allocate backend storage and prefault page tables is POPULATE_WRITE. With an fd, the fastest way is usually FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ or FALLOCATE+POPULATE_WRITE respectively; one exception are actual files: FALLOCATE+Read is slightly faster than FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ. The fastest way to allocate backend storage prefault page tables is FALLOCATE+POPULATE_WRITE -- except when dealing with actual files; then, FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ is fastest and won't directly mark all pages as dirty. v.3: Detailed results ================================================== 2 MiB MAP_PRIVATE: ************************************************** Anon 4 KiB : Read : 0.119 ms Anon 4

Using MAX_INPUT_BUF_SZ as the maximum length of the string makes fortify complain as it thinks the string might be longer than the buffer, and if it is, we will end up with a "string" that is missing a NUL terminator. It's trivial to show that 'tok' points to a NUL-terminated string which is less than MAX_INPUT_BUF_SZ in length, so we may as well just use strcpy() and avoid the warning.

TTU_SYNC prevents an unlikely race, when try_to_unmap() returns shortly before the page is accounted as unmapped.

Currently try_to_unmap() return bool value by checking page_mapcount(), however this may return false positive since page_mapcount() doesn't check all subpages of compound page. The total_mapcount() could be used instead, but its cost is higher since it traverses all subpages. Actually the most callers of try_to_unmap() don't care about the return value at all. So just need check if page is still mapped by page_mapped() when necessary. And page_mapped() does bail out early when it finds mapped subpage.

When the THP NUMA fault support was added THP migration was not supported yet. So the ad hoc THP migration was implemented in NUMA fault handling. Since v4.14 THP migration has been supported so it doesn't make too much sense to still keep another THP migration implementation rather than using the generic migration code. This patch reworks the NUMA fault handling to use generic migration implementation to migrate misplaced page. There is no functional change. After the refactor the flow of NUMA fault handling looks just like its PTE counterpart: Acquire ptl Prepare for migration (elevate page refcount) Release ptl Isolate page from lru and elevate page refcount Migrate the misplaced THP If migration fails just restore the old normal PMD. In the old code anon_vma lock was needed to serialize THP migration against THP split, but since then the THP code has been reworked a lot, it seems anon_vma lock is not required anymore to avoid the race. The page refcount elevation when holding ptl should prevent from THP split. Use migrate_misplaced_page() for both base page and THP NUMA hinting fault and remove all the dead and duplicate code.

Pach series "mm: thp: use generic THP migration for NUMA hinting fault", v3. When the THP NUMA fault support was added THP migration was not supported yet. So the ad hoc THP migration was implemented in NUMA fault handling. Since v4.14 THP migration has been supported so it doesn't make too much sense to still keep another THP migration implementation rather than using the generic migration code. It is definitely a maintenance burden to keep two THP migration implementation for different code paths and it is more error prone. Using the generic THP migration implementation allows us remove the duplicate code and some hacks needed by the old ad hoc implementation. A quick grep shows x86_64, PowerPC (book3s), ARM64 ans S390 support both THP and NUMA balancing. The most of them support THP migration except for S390. Zi Yan tried to add THP migration support for S390 before but it was not accepted due to the design of S390 PMD. For the discussion, please see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/27/953. Per the discussion with Gerald Schaefer in v1 it is acceptible to skip huge PMD for S390 for now. I saw there were some hacks about gup from git history, but I didn't figure out if they have been removed or not since I just found FOLL_NUMA code in the current gup implementation and they seems useful. Patch #1 ~ #2 are preparation patches. Patch #3 is the real meat. Patch #4 ~ #6 keep consistent counters and behaviors with before. Patch #7 skips change huge PMD to prot_none if thp migration is not supported. Test ---- Did some tests to measure the latency of do_huge_pmd_numa_page. The test VM has 80 vcpus and 64G memory. The test would create 2 processes to consume 128G memory together which would incur memory pressure to cause THP splits. And it also creates 80 processes to hog cpu, and the memory consumer processes are bound to different nodes periodically in order to increase NUMA faults. The below test script is used: echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches # Run stress-ng for 24 hours ./stress-ng/stress-ng --vm 2 --vm-bytes 64G --timeout 24h & PID=$! ./stress-ng/stress-ng --cpu $NR_CPUS --timeout 24h & # Wait for vm stressors forked sleep 5 PID_1=`pgrep -P $PID | awk 'NR == 1'` PID_2=`pgrep -P $PID | awk 'NR == 2'` JOB1=`pgrep -P $PID_1` JOB2=`pgrep -P $PID_2` # Bind load jobs to different nodes periodically to force generate # cross node memory access while [ -d "/proc/$PID" ] do taskset -apc 8 $JOB1 taskset -apc 8 $JOB2 sleep 300 taskset -apc 58 $JOB1 taskset -apc 58 $JOB2 sleep 300 done With the above test the histogram of latency of do_huge_pmd_numa_page is as shown below. Since the number of do_huge_pmd_numa_page varies drastically for each run (should be due to scheduler), so I converted the raw number to percentage. patched base @us[stress-ng]: [0] 3.57% 0.16% [1] 55.68% 18.36% [2, 4) 10.46% 40.44% [4, 8) 7.26% 17.82% [8, 16) 21.12% 13.41% [16, 32) 1.06% 4.27% [32, 64) 0.56% 4.07% [64, 128) 0.16% 0.35% [128, 256) < 0.1% < 0.1% [256, 512) < 0.1% < 0.1% [512, 1K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [1K, 2K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [2K, 4K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [4K, 8K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [8K, 16K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [16K, 32K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [32K, 64K) < 0.1% < 0.1% Per the result, patched kernel is even slightly better than the base kernel. I think this is because the lock contention against THP split is less than base kernel due to the refactor. To exclude the affect from THP split, I also did test w/o memory pressure.

Transparent huge pages are supported for read-only non-shmem files, but are only used for vmas with VM_DENYWRITE. This condition ensures that file THPs are protected from writes while an application is running (ETXTBSY). Any existing file THPs are then dropped from the page cache when a file is opened for write in do_dentry_open(). Since sys_mmap ignores MAP_DENYWRITE, this constrains the use of file THPs to vmas produced by execve(). Systems that make heavy use of shared libraries (e.g. Android) are unable to apply VM_DENYWRITE through the dynamic linker, preventing them from benefiting from the resultant reduced contention on the TLB. This patch reduces the constraint on file THPs allowing use with any executable mapping from a file not opened for write (see inode_is_open_for_write()). It also introduces additional conditions to ensure that files opened for write will never be backed by file THPs. Restricting the use of THPs to executable mappings eliminates the risk that a read-only file later opened for write would encounter significant latencies due to page cache truncation. The ld linker flag '-z max-page-size=(hugepage size)' can be used to produce executables with the necessary layout. The dynamic linker must map these file's segments at a hugepage size aligned vma for the mapping to be backed with THPs.

Since commit d6995da3 ("hugetlb: use page.private for hugetlb specific page flags") converts page.private for hugetlb specific page flags. We should use hugetlb_page_subpool() to get the subpool pointer instead of page_private(). This 'could' prevent the migration of hugetlb pages. page_private(hpage) is now used for hugetlb page specific flags. At migration time, the only flag which could be set is HPageVmemmapOptimized. This flag will only be set if the new vmemmap reduction feature is enabled. In addition, !page_mapping() implies an anonymous mapping. So, this will prevent migration of hugetb pages in anonymous mappings if the vmemmap reduction feature is enabled. In addition, that if statement checked for the rare race condition of a page being migrated while in the process of being freed. Since that check is now wrong, we could leak hugetlb subpool usage counts. The commit forgot to update it in the page migration routine. So fix it.

There is no need for any special handling in pfn_valid() and HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID can just be dropped. This also moves the pfn upper bits sanity check into generic pfn_valid().

The arm64's version of pfn_valid() differs from the generic because of two reasons: * Parts of the memory map are freed during boot. This makes it necessary to verify that there is actual physical memory that corresponds to a pfn which is done by querying memblock. * There are NOMAP memory regions. These regions are not mapped in the linear map and until the previous commit the struct pages representing these areas had default values. As the consequence of absence of the special treatment of NOMAP regions in the memory map it was necessary to use memblock_is_map_memory() in pfn_valid() and to have pfn_valid_within() aliased to pfn_valid() so that generic mm functionality would not treat a NOMAP page as a normal page. Since the NOMAP regions are now marked as PageReserved(), pfn walkers and the rest of core mm will treat them as unusable memory and thus pfn_valid_within() is no longer required at all and can be disabled on arm64. pfn_valid() can be slightly simplified by replacing memblock_is_map_memory() with memblock_is_memory().

The intended semantics of pfn_valid() is to verify whether there is a struct page for the pfn in question and nothing else. Yet, on arm64 it is used to distinguish memory areas that are mapped in the linear map vs those that require ioremap() to access them. Introduce a dedicated pfn_is_map_memory() wrapper for memblock_is_map_memory() to perform such check and use it where appropriate. Using a wrapper allows to avoid cyclic include dependencies. While here also update style of pfn_valid() so that both pfn_valid() and pfn_is_map_memory() declarations will be consistent.

The struct pages representing a reserved memory region are initialized using reserve_bootmem_range() function. This function is called for each reserved region just before the memory is freed from memblock to the buddy page allocator. The struct pages for MEMBLOCK_NOMAP regions are kept with the default values set by the memory map initialization which makes it necessary to have a special treatment for such pages in pfn_valid() and pfn_valid_within(). Split out initialization of the reserved pages to a function with a meaningful name and treat the MEMBLOCK_NOMAP regions the same way as the reserved regions and mark struct pages for the NOMAP regions as PageReserved.

Patch series "arm64: drop pfn_valid_within() and simplify pfn_valid()", v4. These patches aim to remove CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE and essentially hardwire pfn_valid_within() to 1. The idea is to mark NOMAP pages as reserved in the memory map and restore the intended semantics of pfn_valid() to designate availability of struct page for a pfn. With this the core mm will be able to cope with the fact that it cannot use NOMAP pages and the holes created by NOMAP ranges within MAX_ORDER blocks will be treated correctly even without the need for pfn_valid_within. This patch (of 4): Add comment describing the semantics of pfn_valid() that clarifies that pfn_valid() only checks for availability of a memory map entry (i.e. struct page) for a PFN rather than availability of usable memory backing that PFN. The most "generic" version of pfn_valid() used by the configurations with SPARSEMEM enabled resides in include/linux/mmzone.h so this is the most suitable place for documentation about semantics of pfn_valid().

When trying to migrate pages to obey mempolicy, the huge zero page is split by inserting base zero pfn to all PTEs, then the page table walk fallback to PTE level and just skips zero page. Skipping zero page for mempolicy has been the behavior of kernel since v2.6.16 due to commit f4598c8b ("[PATCH] migration: make sure there is no attempt to migrate reserved pages."). So it seems pointless to split huge zero page, it could be just skipped like base zero page. Set ACTION_CONTINUE to prevent the walk_page_range() split the pmd for this case.

MPOL_LOCAL policy has been setup as a real policy, but it is still handled like a faked POL_PREFERRED policy with one internal MPOL_F_LOCAL flag bit set, and there are many places having to judge the real 'prefer' or the 'local' policy, which are quite confusing. In current code, there are 4 cases that MPOL_LOCAL are used: 1. user specifies 'local' policy 2. user specifies 'prefer' policy, but with empty nodemask 3. system 'default' policy is used 4. 'prefer' policy + valid 'preferred' node with MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES flag set, and when it is 'rebind' to a nodemask which doesn't contains the 'preferred' node, it will perform as 'local' policy So make 'local' a real policy instead of a fake 'prefer' one, and kill MPOL_F_LOCAL bit, which can greatly reduce the confusion for code reading. For case 4, the logic of mpol_rebind_preferred() is confusing, as Michal Hocko pointed out: : I do believe that rebinding preferred policy is just bogus and it should : be dropped altogether on the ground that a preference is a mere hint from : userspace where to start the allocation. Unless I am missing something : cpusets will be always authoritative for the final placement. The : preferred node just acts as a starting point and it should be really : preserved when cpusets changes. Otherwise we have a very subtle behavior : corner cases. So dump all the tricky transformation between 'prefer' and 'local', and just record the new nodemask of rebinding.

Patch series "mm/mempolicy: some fix and semantics cleanup", v4. Current memory policy code has some confusing and ambiguous part about MPOL_LOCAL policy, as it is handled as a faked MPOL_PREFERRED one, and there are many places having to distinguish them. Also the nodemask intersection check needs cleanup to be more explicit for OOM use, and handle MPOL_INTERLEAVE correctly. This patchset cleans up these and unifies the parameter sanity check for mbind() and set_mempolicy(). This patch (of 3): mempolicy_nodemask_intersects seem to be a general purpose mempolicy function. In fact it is partially tailored for the OOM purpose instead. The oom proper is the only existing user so rename the function to make that purpose explicit. While at it drop the MPOL_INTERLEAVE as those allocations never has a nodemask defined (see alloc_page_interleave) so this is a dead code and a confusing one because MPOL_INTERLEAVE is a hint rather than a hard requirement so it shouldn't be considered during the OOM. The final code can be reduced to a check for MPOL_BIND which is the only memory policy that is a hard requirement and thus relevant to a constrained OOM logic.

The zbud doesn't need to export any API and it is meant to be used via zpool API since the commit 12d79d64 ("mm/zpool: update zswap to use zpool"). So we can remove the unneeded zbud.h and move down zpool API to avoid any forward declaration.

Patch series "Cleanups for zbud", v2. This series contains just cleanups to save some possible memory in zbud_pool and avoid exporting any unneeded zbud API. More details can be found in the respective changelogs This patch (of 2): Since commit 9d8c5b52 ("mm: zbud: fix condition check on allocation size"), zbud_pool.unbuddied[0] is always unused. We can reuse it as buddied field to save some possible memory.

handle_to_z3fold_header() is unused now. So we can remove it. As a result, get_z3fold_header() becomes the only caller of __get_z3fold_header() and the argument lock is always true. Therefore we could further fold the __get_z3fold_header() into get_z3fold_header() with lock = true. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210619093151.1492174-5-linmiaohe@huawei.comSigned-off-by:

It's meaningless to pass a magic number 2 to __alloc_percpu() as there is a minimum alignment size of PCPU_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE (> 2) in it. Also there is no special alignment requirement for unbuddied. So we could replace this magic number with nature alignment, i.e. __alignof__(struct list_head), to improve readability.

It is not enough to just make sure the z3fold header is not larger than the page size. When z3fold header is equal to PAGE_SIZE, we would underflow when check alloc size against PAGE_SIZE - ZHDR_SIZE_ALIGNED - CHUNK_SIZE in z3fold_alloc(). Make sure there has remaining spaces for its buddy to fix this theoretical issue. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210619093151.1492174-3-linmiaohe@huawei.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "Cleanup and fixup for z3fold". This series contains cleanups to remove unused function, redefine macro to improve readability and so on. Also this fixes several bugs in z3fold, such as memory leak in z3fold_destroy_pool(). More details can be found in the respective changelogs. This patch (of 6): To improve code readability, we could define macro NCHUNKS as TOTAL_CHUNKS - ZHDR_CHUNKS. No functional change intended.
