mm: thp: handle page cache THP correctly in PageTransCompoundMap

2019-11-12T18:20:36Z

commit 169226f7e0d275c1879551f37484ef6683579a5c upstream. We have a usecase to use tmpfs as QEMU memory backend and we would like to take the advantage of THP as well. But, our test shows the EPT is not PMD mapped even though the underlying THP are PMD mapped on host. The number showed by /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/largepage is much less than the number of PMD mapped shmem pages as the below: 7f2778200000-7f2878200000 rw-s 00000000 00:14 262232 /dev/shm/qemu_back_mem.mem.Hz2hSf (deleted) Size: 4194304 kB [snip] AnonHugePages: 0 kB ShmemPmdMapped: 579584 kB [snip] Locked: 0 kB cat /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/largepages 12 And some benchmarks do worse than with anonymous THPs. By digging into the code we figured out that commit 127393fbe597 ("mm: thp: kvm: fix memory corruption in KVM with THP enabled") checks if there is a single PTE mapping on the page for anonymous THP when setting up EPT map. But the _mapcount < 0 check doesn't work for page cache THP since every subpage of page cache THP would get _mapcount inc'ed once it is PMD mapped, so PageTransCompoundMap() always returns false for page cache THP. This would prevent KVM from setting up PMD mapped EPT entry. So we need handle page cache THP correctly. However, when page cache THP's PMD gets split, kernel just remove the map instead of setting up PTE map like what anonymous THP does. Before KVM calls get_user_pages() the subpages may get PTE mapped even though it is still a THP since the page cache THP may be mapped by other processes at the mean time. Checking its _mapcount and whether the THP has PTE mapped or not. Although this may report some false negative cases (PTE mapped by other processes), it looks not trivial to make this accurate. With this fix /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/largepage would show reasonable pages are PMD mapped by EPT as the below: 7fbeaee00000-7fbfaee00000 rw-s 00000000 00:14 275464 /dev/shm/qemu_back_mem.mem.SKUvat (deleted) Size: 4194304 kB [snip] AnonHugePages: 0 kB ShmemPmdMapped: 557056 kB [snip] Locked: 0 kB cat /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/largepages 271 And the benchmarks are as same as anonymous THPs.

mm: add 'try_get_page()' helper function

2019-05-04T07:20:11Z

commit 88b1a17dfc3ed7728316478fae0f5ad508f50397 upstream. This is the same as the traditional 'get_page()' function, but instead of unconditionally incrementing the reference count of the page, it only does so if the count was "safe". It returns whether the reference count was incremented (and is marked __must_check, since the caller obviously has to be aware of it). Also like 'get_page()', you can't use this function unless you already had a reference to the page. The intent is that you can use this exactly like get_page(), but in situations where you want to limit the maximum reference count. The code currently does an unconditional WARN_ON_ONCE() if we ever hit the reference count issues (either zero or negative), as a notification that the conditional non-increment actually happened. NOTE! The count access for the "safety" check is inherently racy, but that doesn't matter since the buffer we use is basically half the range of the reference count (ie we look at the sign of the count).

mm: make page ref count overflow check tighter and more explicit

2019-05-04T07:20:10Z

commit f958d7b528b1b40c44cfda5eabe2d82760d868c3 upstream. We have a VM_BUG_ON() to check that the page reference count doesn't underflow (or get close to overflow) by checking the sign of the count. That's all fine, but we actually want to allow people to use a "get page ref unless it's already very high" helper function, and we want that one to use the sign of the page ref (without triggering this VM_BUG_ON). Change the VM_BUG_ON to only check for small underflows (or _very_ close to overflowing), and ignore overflows which have strayed into negative territory.

mm: add mm_pxd_folded checks to pgtable_bytes accounting functions

2018-12-29T12:37:57Z

[ Upstream commit 6d212db11947ae5464e4717536ed9faf61c01e86 ] The common mm code calls mm_dec_nr_pmds() and mm_dec_nr_puds() in free_pgtables() if the address range spans a full pud or pmd. If mm_dec_nr_puds/mm_dec_nr_pmds are non-empty due to configuration settings they blindly subtract the size of the pmd or pud table from pgtable_bytes even if the pud or pmd page table layer is folded. Add explicit mm_[pmd|pud]_folded checks to the four pgtable_bytes accounting functions mm_inc_nr_puds, mm_inc_nr_pmds, mm_dec_nr_puds and mm_dec_nr_pmds. As the check for folded page tables can be overwritten by the architecture, this allows to keep a correct pgtable_bytes value for platforms that use a dynamic number of page table levels.

mm: migration: fix migration of huge PMD shared pages

2018-10-05T23:32:04Z

The page migration code employs try_to_unmap() to try and unmap the source page. This is accomplished by using rmap_walk to find all vmas where the page is mapped. This search stops when page mapcount is zero. For shared PMD huge pages, the page map count is always 1 no matter the number of mappings. Shared mappings are tracked via the reference count of the PMD page. Therefore, try_to_unmap stops prematurely and does not completely unmap all mappings of the source page. This problem can result is data corruption as writes to the original source page can happen after contents of the page are copied to the target page. Hence, data is lost. This problem was originally seen as DB corruption of shared global areas after a huge page was soft offlined due to ECC memory errors. DB developers noticed they could reproduce the issue by (hotplug) offlining memory used to back huge pages. A simple testcase can reproduce the problem by creating a shared PMD mapping (note that this must be at least PUD_SIZE in size and PUD_SIZE aligned (1GB on x86)), and using migrate_pages() to migrate process pages between nodes while continually writing to the huge pages being migrated. To fix, have the try_to_unmap_one routine check for huge PMD sharing by calling huge_pmd_unshare for hugetlbfs huge pages. If it is a shared mapping it will be 'unshared' which removes the page table entry and drops the reference on the PMD page. After this, flush caches and TLB. mmu notifiers are called before locking page tables, but we can not be sure of PMD sharing until page tables are locked. Therefore, check for the possibility of PMD sharing before locking so that notifiers can prepare for the worst possible case.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.19_dax-memory-failure' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

2018-08-26T01:43:59Z

Pull libnvdimm memory-failure update from Dave Jiang: "As it stands, memory_failure() gets thoroughly confused by dev_pagemap backed mappings. The recovery code has specific enabling for several possible page states and needs new enabling to handle poison in dax mappings. In order to support reliable reverse mapping of user space addresses: 1/ Add new locking in the memory_failure() rmap path to prevent races that would typically be handled by the page lock. 2/ Since dev_pagemap pages are hidden from the page allocator and the "compound page" accounting machinery, add a mechanism to determine the size of the mapping that encompasses a given poisoned pfn. 3/ Given pmem errors can be repaired, change the speculatively accessed poison protection, mce_unmap_kpfn(), to be reversible and otherwise allow ongoing access from the kernel. A side effect of this enabling is that MADV_HWPOISON becomes usable for dax mappings, however the primary motivation is to allow the system to survive userspace consumption of hardware-poison via dax.

mm: Change return type int to vm_fault_t for fault handlers

2018-08-24T01:48:44Z

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler. For now, this is just documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an errno. Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a distinct type. Ref-> commit 1c8f422059ae ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t") The aim is to change the return type of finish_fault() and handle_mm_fault() to vm_fault_t type. As part of that clean up return type of all other recursively called functions have been changed to vm_fault_t type. The places from where handle_mm_fault() is getting invoked will be change to vm_fault_t type but in a separate patch. vmf_error() is the newly introduce inline function in 4.17-rc6.

mm/page_alloc: Introduce free_area_init_core_hotplug

2018-08-22T17:52:45Z

Currently, whenever a new node is created/re-used from the memhotplug path, we call free_area_init_node()->free_area_init_core(). But there is some code that we do not really need to run when we are coming from such path. free_area_init_core() performs the following actions: 1) Initializes pgdat internals, such as spinlock, waitqueues and more. 2) Account # nr_all_pages and # nr_kernel_pages. These values are used later on when creating hash tables. 3) Account number of managed_pages per zone, substracting dma_reserved and memmap pages. 4) Initializes some fields of the zone structure data 5) Calls init_currently_empty_zone to initialize all the freelists 6) Calls memmap_init to initialize all pages belonging to certain zone When called from memhotplug path, free_area_init_core() only performs actions #1 and #4. Action #2 is pointless as the zones do not have any pages since either the node was freed, or we are re-using it, eitherway all zones belonging to this node should have 0 pages. For the same reason, action #3 results always in manages_pages being 0. Action #5 and #6 are performed later on when onlining the pages: online_pages()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->init_currently_empty_zone() online_pages()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->memmap_init_zone() This patch does two things: First, moves the node/zone initializtion to their own function, so it allows us to create a small version of free_area_init_core, where we only perform: 1) Initialization of pgdat internals, such as spinlock, waitqueues and more 4) Initialization of some fields of the zone structure data These two functions are: pgdat_init_internals() and zone_init_internals(). The second thing this patch does, is to introduce free_area_init_core_hotplug(), the memhotplug version of free_area_init_core(): Currently, we call free_area_init_node() from the memhotplug path. In there, we set some pgdat's fields, and call calculate_node_totalpages(). calculate_node_totalpages() calculates the # of pages the node has. Since the node is either new, or we are re-using it, the zones belonging to this node should not have any pages, so there is no point to calculate this now. Actually, we re-set these values to 0 later on with the calls to: reset_node_managed_pages() reset_node_present_pages() The # of pages per node and the # of pages per zone will be calculated when onlining the pages: online_pages()->move_pfn_range()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->resize_zone_range() online_pages()->move_pfn_range()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->resize_pgdat_range() Also, since free_area_init_core/free_area_init_node will now only get called during early init, let us replace __paginginit with __init, so their code gets freed up.
