mm: huge_memory: add vma_thp_disabled() and thp_disabled_by_hw()

2024-10-17T07:28:10Z

Patch series "mm: don't install PMD mappings when THPs are disabled by the hw/process/vma". During testing, it was found that we can get PMD mappings in processes where THP (and more precisely, PMD mappings) are supposed to be disabled. While it works as expected for anon+shmem, the pagecache is the problematic bit. For s390 KVM this currently means that a VM backed by a file located on filesystem with large folio support can crash when KVM tries accessing the problematic page, because the readahead logic might decide to use a PMD-sized THP and faulting it into the page tables will install a PMD mapping, something that s390 KVM cannot tolerate. This might also be a problem with HW that does not support PMD mappings, but I did not try reproducing it. Fix it by respecting the ways to disable THPs when deciding whether we can install a PMD mapping. khugepaged should already be taking care of not collapsing if THPs are effectively disabled for the hw/process/vma. This patch (of 2): Add vma_thp_disabled() and thp_disabled_by_hw() helpers to be shared by shmem_allowable_huge_orders() and __thp_vma_allowable_orders().

mm: introduce a pageflag for partially mapped folios

2024-09-09T23:39:04Z

Currently folio->_deferred_list is used to keep track of partially_mapped folios that are going to be split under memory pressure. In the next patch, all THPs that are faulted in and collapsed by khugepaged are also going to be tracked using _deferred_list. This patch introduces a pageflag to be able to distinguish between partially mapped folios and others in the deferred_list at split time in deferred_split_scan. Its needed as __folio_remove_rmap decrements _mapcount, _large_mapcount and _entire_mapcount, hence it won't be possible to distinguish between partially mapped folios and others in deferred_split_scan. Eventhough it introduces an extra flag to track if the folio is partially mapped, there is no functional change intended with this patch and the flag is not useful in this patch itself, it will become useful in the next patch when _deferred_list has non partially mapped folios.

mm: count the number of partially mapped anonymous THPs per size

2024-09-09T23:38:57Z

When a THP is added to the deferred_list due to partially mapped, its partial pages are unused, leading to wasted memory and potentially increasing memory reclamation pressure. Detailing the specifics of how unmapping occurs is quite difficult and not that useful, so we adopt a simple approach: each time a THP enters the deferred_list, we increment the count by 1; whenever it leaves for any reason, we decrement the count by 1.

mm: count the number of anonymous THPs per size

2024-09-09T23:38:57Z

Patch series "mm: count the number of anonymous THPs per size", v4. Knowing the number of transparent anon THPs in the system is crucial for performance analysis. It helps in understanding the ratio and distribution of THPs versus small folios throughout the system. Additionally, partial unmapping by userspace can lead to significant waste of THPs over time and increase memory reclamation pressure. We need this information for comprehensive system tuning. This patch (of 2): Let's track for each anonymous THP size, how many of them are currently allocated. We'll track the complete lifespan of an anon THP, starting when it becomes an anon THP ("large anon folio") (->mapping gets set), until it gets freed (->mapping gets cleared). Introduce a new "nr_anon" counter per THP size and adjust the corresponding counter in the following cases: * We allocate a new THP and call folio_add_new_anon_rmap() to map it the first time and turn it into an anon THP. * We split an anon THP into multiple smaller ones. * We migrate an anon THP, when we prepare the destination. * We free an anon THP back to the buddy. Note that AnonPages in /proc/meminfo currently tracks the total number of *mapped* anonymous *pages*, and therefore has slightly different semantics. In the future, we might also want to track "nr_anon_mapped" for each THP size, which might be helpful when comparing it to the number of allocated anon THPs (long-term pinning, stuck in swapcache, memory leaks, ...). Further note that for now, we only track anon THPs after they got their ->mapping set, for example via folio_add_new_anon_rmap(). If we would allocate some in the swapcache, they will only show up in the statistics for now after they have been mapped to user space the first time, where we call folio_add_new_anon_rmap().

mm: cleanup count_mthp_stat() definition

2024-09-09T23:38:57Z

Patch series "Shmem mTHP controls and stats improvements", v3. This is a small series to tidy up the way the shmem controls and stats are exposed. These patches were previously part of the series at [2], but I decided to split them out since they can go in independently. This patch (of 2): Let's move count_mthp_stat() so that it's always defined, even when THP is disabled. Previously uses of the function in files such as shmem.c, which are compiled even when THP is disabled, required ugly THP ifdeferry. With this cleanup, we can remove those ifdefs and the function resolves to a nop when THP is disabled. I shortly plan to call count_mthp_stat() from more THP-invariant source files.

mm: split a folio in minimum folio order chunks

2024-09-02T14:18:38Z

split_folio() and split_folio_to_list() assume order 0, to support minorder for non-anonymous folios, we must expand these to check the folio mapping order and use that. Set new_order to be at least minimum folio order if it is set in split_huge_page_to_list() so that we can maintain minimum folio order requirement in the page cache. Update the debugfs write files used for testing to ensure the order is respected as well. We simply enforce the min order when a file mapping is used.

mm/mprotect: fix dax pud handlings

2024-09-02T03:26:10Z

This is only relevant to the two archs that support PUD dax, aka, x86_64 and ppc64. PUD THPs do not yet exist elsewhere, and hugetlb PUDs do not count in this case. DAX have had PUD mappings for years, but change protection path never worked. When the path is triggered in any form (a simple test program would be: call mprotect() on a 1G dev_dax mapping), the kernel will report "bad pud". This patch should fix that. The new change_huge_pud() tries to keep everything simple. For example, it doesn't optimize write bit as that will need even more PUD helpers. It's not too bad anyway to have one more write fault in the worst case once for 1G range; may be a bigger thing for each PAGE_SIZE, though. Neither does it support userfault-wp bits, as there isn't such PUD mappings that is supported; file mappings always need a split there. The same to TLB shootdown: the pmd path (which was for x86 only) has the trick of using _ad() version of pmdp_invalidate*() which can avoid one redundant TLB, but let's also leave that for later. Again, the larger the mapping, the smaller of such effect. There's some difference on handling "retry" for change_huge_pud() (where it can return 0): it isn't like change_huge_pmd(), as the pmd version is safe with all conditions handled in change_pte_range() later, thanks to Hugh's new pte_offset_map_lock(). In short, change_pte_range() is simply smarter. For that, change_pud_range() will need proper retry if it races with something else when a huge PUD changed from under us. The last thing to mention is currently the PUD path ignores the huge pte numa counter (NUMA_HUGE_PTE_UPDATES), not only because DAX is not applicable to NUMA, but also that it's ambiguous on its own to decide how to account pud in this case. In one earlier version of this patchset I proposed to remove the counter as it doesn't even look right to do the accounting as of now [1], but then a further discussion suggests we can leave that for later, as that doesn't block this series if we choose to ignore that counter. That's what this patch does, by ignoring it. When at it, touch up the comment in pgtable_split_needed() to make it generic to either pmd or pud file THPs.
