2025-03-17arch, mm: set max_mapnr when allocating memory map for FLATMEMMike Rapoport (Microsoft)
max_mapnr is essentially the size of the memory map for systems that use FLATMEM. There is no reason to calculate it in each and every architecture when it's anyway calculated in alloc_node_mem_map(). Drop setting of max_mapnr from architecture code and set it once in alloc_node_mem_map(). While on it, move definition of mem_map and max_mapnr to mm/mm_init.c so there won't be two copies for MMU and !MMU variants.

2025-03-17arm: mem_init: use memblock_phys_free() to free DMA memory on SA1111Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)
Patch series "arch, mm: reduce code duplication in mem_init()", v2. Every architecture has implementation of mem_init() function and some even more than one. All these release free memory to the buddy allocator, most of them set high_memory to the end of directly addressable memory and many of them set max_mapnr for FLATMEM case. These patches pull the commonalities into the generic code and refactor some of the mem_init() implementations so that many of them can be just dropped. This patch (of 13): This will help to pull out memblock_free_all() to generic code.

2025-03-17page_io: zswap: do not crash the kernel on decompression failureNhat Pham
Currently, we crash the kernel when a decompression failure occurs in zswap (either because of memory corruption, or a bug in the compression algorithm). This is overkill. We should only SIGBUS the unfortunate process asking for the zswap entry on zswap load, and skip the corrupted entry in zswap writeback. See [1] for a recent upstream discussion about this. The zswap writeback case is relatively straightforward to fix. For the zswap_load() case, we change the return behavior: * Return 0 on success. * Return -ENOENT (with the folio locked) if zswap does not own the swapped out content. * Return -EIO if zswap owns the swapped out content, but encounters a decompression failure for some reasons. The folio will be unlocked, but not be marked up-to-date, which will eventually cause the process requesting the page to SIGBUS (see the handling of not-up-to-date folio in do_swap_page() in mm/memory.c), without crashing the kernel. * Return -EINVAL if we encounter a large folio, as large folio should not be swapped in while zswap is being used. Similar to the -EIO case, we also unlock the folio but do not mark it as up-to-date to SIGBUS the faulting process. As a side effect, we require one extra zswap tree traversal in the load and writeback paths. Quick benchmarking on a kernel build test shows no performance difference: With the new scheme: real: mean: 125.1s, stdev: 0.12s user: mean: 3265.23s, stdev: 9.62s sys: mean: 2156.41s, stdev: 13.98s The old scheme: real: mean: 125.78s, stdev: 0.45s user: mean: 3287.18s, stdev: 5.95s sys: mean: 2177.08s, stdev: 26.52s [nphamcs@gmail.com: fix documentation of zswap_load()] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250306222453.1269456-1-nphamcs@gmail.com Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZsiLElTykamcYZ6J@casper.infradead.org/ [1] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250306205011.784787-1-nphamcs@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Nhat Pham <nphamcs@gmail.com> Suggested-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> Suggested-by: Yosry Ahmed <yosry.ahmed@linux.dev> Suggested-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Reviewed-by: Chengming Zhou <chengming.zhou@linux.dev> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
2025-03-17mm/hugetlb: update nr_huge_pages and surplus_huge_pages togetherLiu Shixin
In alloc_surplus_hugetlb_folio(), we increase nr_huge_pages and surplus_huge_pages separately. In the middle window, if we set nr_hugepages to smaller and satisfy count < persistent_huge_pages(h), the surplus_huge_pages will be increased by adjust_pool_surplus(). After adding delay in the middle window, we can reproduce the problem easily by following step: 1. echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_overcommit_hugepages 2. mmap two hugepages. When nr_huge_pages=2 and surplus_huge_pages=1, goto step 3. 3. echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_huge_pages Finally, nr_huge_pages is less than surplus_huge_pages. To fix the problem, call only_alloc_fresh_hugetlb_folio() instead and move down __prep_account_new_huge_page() into the hugetlb_lock.

different named directories Patch series "mm/damon: add sysfs dirs for managing DAMOS filters based on handling layers". DAMOS filters are categorized into two groups based on their handling layers, namely core and operations layers. The categorization affects when each filter is evaluated. Core layer handled filters are evaluated first. The order meant nothing before, but introduction of allow filters changed that. DAMOS sysfs interface provides single directory for filters, namely 'filters'. Users can install any filters in any order there. DAMON will internally categorize those into core and operations layer handled ones, and apply the evaluation order rule. The ordering rule is clearly documented. But the interface could still confuse users since it is allowed to install filters on the directory in mixed ways. Add two sysfs directories for managing filters by handling layers, namely 'core_filters' and 'ops_filters' for filters that handled by core and operations layer, respectively. Those are avoided to be used for installing filters that not handled by the assumed layers. For backward compatibility, keep 'filters' directory with its curernt behavior. Filters installed in the directory will be added to DAMON after those of 'core_filters' and 'ops_filters' directories, with the automatic categorizations. Also recommend users to use the new directories while noticing 'filters' directory could be deprecated in future on the usage documents. Note that new directories provide all features that were provided with 'filters', but just in a more clear way. Deprecating 'filters' in future will hence not make an irreversal feature loss. This patch (of 8): damon_sysfs_scheme_set_filters() is using a hard-coded directory name, "filters". Refactor for general named directories of same files hierarchy, to use from upcoming changes for adding sibling directories having files same to those of "filters", and named as "core_filters" and "ops_filters".

2025-03-17mm: stop maintaining the per-page mapcount of large folios ↵David Hildenbrand
(CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT) Everything is in place to stop using the per-page mapcounts in large folios: the mapcount of tail pages will always be logically 0 (-1 value), just like it currently is for hugetlb folios already, and the page mapcount of the head page is either 0 (-1 value) or contains a page type (e.g., hugetlb). Maintaining _nr_pages_mapped without per-page mapcounts is impossible, so that one also has to go with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. There are two remaining implications: (1) Per-node, per-cgroup and per-lruvec stats of "NR_ANON_MAPPED" ("mapped anonymous memory") and "NR_FILE_MAPPED" ("mapped file memory"): As soon as any page of the folio is mapped -- folio_mapped() -- we now account the complete folio as mapped. Once the last page is unmapped -- !folio_mapped() -- we account the complete folio as unmapped. This implies that ... * "AnonPages" and "Mapped" in /proc/meminfo and /sys/devices/system/node/*/meminfo * cgroup v2: "anon" and "file_mapped" in "memory.stat" and "memory.numa_stat" * cgroup v1: "rss" and "mapped_file" in "memory.stat" and "memory.numa_stat ... can now appear higher than before. But note that these folios do consume that memory, simply not all pages are actually currently mapped. It's worth nothing that other accounting in the kernel (esp. cgroup charging on allocation) is not affected by this change. [why oh why is "anon" called "rss" in cgroup v1] (2) Detecting partial mappings Detecting whether anon THPs are partially mapped gets a bit more unreliable. As long as a single MM maps such a large folio ("exclusively mapped"), we can reliably detect it. Especially before fork() / after a short-lived child process quit, we will detect partial mappings reliably, which is the common case. In essence, if the average per-page mapcount in an anon THP is < 1, we know for sure that we have a partial mapping. However, as soon as multiple MMs are involved, we might miss detecting partial mappings: this might be relevant with long-lived child processes. If we have a fully-mapped anon folio before fork(), once our child processes and our parent all unmap (zap/COW) the same pages (but not the complete folio), we might not detect the partial mapping. However, once the child processes quit we would detect the partial mapping. How relevant this case is in practice remains to be seen. Swapout/migration will likely mitigate this. In the future, RMAP walkers could check for that for that case (e.g., when collecting access bits during reclaim) and simply flag them for deferred-splitting.

(CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT) Let's implement an alternative when per-page mapcounts in large folios are no longer maintained -- soon with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. When computing the output for smaps / smaps_rollups, in particular when calculating the USS (Unique Set Size) and the PSS (Proportional Set Size), we still rely on per-page mapcounts. To determine private vs. shared, we'll use folio_likely_mapped_shared(), similar to how we handle PM_MMAP_EXCLUSIVE. Similarly, we might now under-estimate the USS and count pages towards "shared" that are actually "private" ("exclusively mapped"). When calculating the PSS, we'll now also use the average per-page mapcount for large folios: this can result in both, an over-estimation and an under-estimation of the PSS. The difference is not expected to matter much in practice, but we'll have to learn as we go. We can now provide folio_precise_page_mapcount() only with CONFIG_PAGE_MAPCOUNT, and remove one of the last users of per-page mapcounts when CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT is enabled.

2025-03-17fs/proc/page: remove per-page mapcount dependency for /proc/kpagecount ↵David Hildenbrand
(CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT) Let's implement an alternative when per-page mapcounts in large folios are no longer maintained -- soon with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. For large folios, we'll return the per-page average mapcount within the folio, whereby we round to the closest integer when calculating the average: however, we'll always return at least 1 if the folio is mapped. So assuming a folio with 512 pages, the average would be: * 0 if not pages are mapped * 1 if there are 1 .. 767 per-page mappings * 2 if there are 767 .. 1279 per-page mappings ... For hugetlb folios and for large folios that are fully mapped into all address spaces, there is no change. We'll make use of this helper in other context next. As an alternative, we could simply return 0 for non-hugetlb large folios, or disable this legacy interface with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. But the information exposed by this interface can still be valuable, and frequently we deal with fully-mapped large folios where the average corresponds to the actual page mapcount. So we'll leave it like this for now and document the new behavior. Note: this interface is likely not very relevant for performance. If ever required, we could try doing a rather expensive rmap walk to collect precisely how often this folio page is mapped.

2025-03-17mm: convert folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_shared()David Hildenbrand
Let's reuse our new MM ownership tracking infrastructure for large folios to make folio_likely_mapped_shared() never return false negatives -- never indicating "not mapped shared" although the folio *is* mapped shared. With that, we can rename it to folio_maybe_mapped_shared() and get rid of the dependency on the mapcount of the first folio page. The semantics are now arguably clearer: no mixture of "false negatives" and "false positives", only the remaining possibility for "false positives". Thoroughly document the new semantics. We might now detect that a large folio is "maybe mapped shared" although it *no longer* is -- but once was. Now, if more than two MMs mapped a folio at the same time, and the MM mapping the folio exclusively at the end is not one tracked in the two folio MM slots, we will detect the folio as "maybe mapped shared". For anonymous folios, usually (except weird corner cases) all PTEs that target a "maybe mapped shared" folio are R/O. As soon as a child process would write to them (iow, actively use them), we would CoW and effectively replace these PTEs. Most cases (below) are not expected to really matter with large anonymous folios for this reason. Most importantly, there will be no change at all for: * small folios * hugetlb folios * PMD-mapped PMD-sized THPs (single mapping) This change has the potential to affect existing callers of folio_likely_mapped_shared() -> folio_maybe_mapped_shared(): (1) fs/proc/task_mmu.c: no change (hugetlb) (2) khugepaged counts PTEs that target shared folios towards max_ptes_shared (default: HPAGE_PMD_NR / 2), meaning we could skip a collapse where we would have previously collapsed. This only applies to anonymous folios and is not expected to matter in practice. Worth noting that this change sorts out case (A) documented in commit 1bafe96e89f0 ("mm/khugepaged: replace page_mapcount() check by folio_likely_mapped_shared()") by removing the possibility for "false negatives". (3) MADV_COLD / MADV_PAGEOUT / MADV_FREE will not try splitting PTE-mapped THPs that are considered shared but not fully covered by the requested range, consequently not processing them. PMD-mapped PMD-sized THP are not affected, or when all PTEs are covered. These functions are usually only called on anon/file folios that are exclusively mapped most of the time (no other file mappings or no fork()), so the "false negatives" are not expected to matter in practice. (4) mbind() / migrate_pages() / move_pages() will refuse to migrate shared folios unless MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is effective (requires CAP_SYS_NICE). We will now reject some folios that could be migrated. Similar to (3), especially with MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL, so this is not expected to matter in practice. Note that cpuset_migrate_mm_workfn() calls do_migrate_pages() with MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL. (5) NUMA hinting mm/migrate.c:migrate_misplaced_folio_prepare() will skip file folios that are probably shared libraries (-> "mapped shared" and executable). This check would have detected it as a shared library at some point (at least 3 MMs mapping it), so detecting it afterwards does not sound wrong (still a shared library). Not expected to matter. mm/memory.c:numa_migrate_check() will indicate TNF_SHARED in MAP_SHARED file mappings when encountering a shared folio. Similar reasoning, not expected to matter. mm/mprotect.c:change_pte_range() will skip folios detected as shared in CoW mappings. Similarly, this is not expected to matter in practice, but if it would ever be a problem we could relax that check a bit (e.g., basing it on the average page-mapcount in a folio), because it was only an optimization when many (e.g., 288) processes were mapping the same folios -- see commit 859d4adc3415 ("mm: numa: do not trap faults on shared data section pages.") (6) mm/rmap.c:folio_referenced_one() will skip exclusive swapbacked folios in dying processes. Applies to anonymous folios only. Without "false negatives", we'll now skip all actually shared ones. Skipping ones that are actually exclusive won't really matter, it's a pure optimization, and is not expected to matter in practice. In theory, one can detect the problematic scenario: folio_mapcount() > 0 and no folio MM slot is occupied ("state unknown"). One could reset the MM slots while doing an rmap walk, which migration / folio split already do when setting everything up. Further, when batching PTEs we might naturally learn about a owner (e.g., folio_mapcount() == nr_ptes) and could update the owner. However, we'll defer that until the scenarios where it would really matter are clear.

2025-03-17mm: Copy-on-Write (COW) reuse support for PTE-mapped THPDavid Hildenbrand
Currently, we never end up reusing PTE-mapped THPs after fork. This wasn't really a problem with PMD-sized THPs, because they would have to be PTE-mapped first, but it's getting a problem with smaller THP sizes that are effectively always PTE-mapped. With our new "mapped exclusively" vs "maybe mapped shared" logic for large folios, implementing CoW reuse for PTE-mapped THPs is straight forward: if exclusively mapped, make sure that all references are from these (our) mappings. Add some helpful comments to explain the details. CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE selects CONFIG_MM_ID. If we spot an anon large folio without CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE in that code, something is seriously messed up. There are plenty of things we can optimize in the future: For example, we could remember that the folio is fully exclusive so we could speedup the next fault further. Also, we could try "faulting around", turning surrounding PTEs that map the same folio writable. But especially the latter might increase COW latency, so it would need further investigation.

2025-03-17mm/rmap: basic MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb)David Hildenbrand
For small folios, we traditionally use the mapcount to decide whether it was "certainly mapped exclusively" by a single MM (mapcount == 1) or whether it "maybe mapped shared" by multiple MMs (mapcount > 1). For PMD-sized folios that were PMD-mapped, we were able to use a similar mechanism (single PMD mapping), but for PTE-mapped folios and in the future folios that span multiple PMDs, this does not work. So we need a different mechanism to handle large folios. Let's add a new mechanism to detect whether a large folio is "certainly mapped exclusively", or whether it is "maybe mapped shared". We'll use this information next to optimize CoW reuse for PTE-mapped anonymous THP, and to convert folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_shared(), independent of per-page mapcounts. For each large folio, we'll have two slots, whereby a slot stores: (1) an MM id: unique id assigned to each MM (2) a per-MM mapcount If a slot is unoccupied, it can be taken by the next MM that maps folio page. In addition, we'll remember the current state -- "mapped exclusively" vs. "maybe mapped shared" -- and use a bit spinlock to sync on updates and to reduce the total number of atomic accesses on updates. In the future, it might be possible to squeeze a proper spinlock into "struct folio". For now, keep it simple, as we require the whole thing with THP only, that is incompatible with RT. As we have to squeeze this information into the "struct folio" of even folios of order-1 (2 pages), and we generally want to reduce the required metadata, we'll assign each MM a unique ID that can fit into an int. In total, we can squeeze everything into 4x int (2x long) on 64bit. 32bit support is a bit challenging, because we only have 2x long == 2x int in order-1 folios. But we can make it work for now, because we neither expect many MMs nor very large folios on 32bit. We will reliably detect folios as "mapped exclusively" vs. "mapped shared" as long as only two MMs map pages of a folio at one point in time -- for example with fork() and short-lived child processes, or with apps that hand over state from one instance to another. As soon as three MMs are involved at the same time, we might detect "maybe mapped shared" although the folio is "mapped exclusively". Example 1: (1) App1 faults in a (shmem/file-backed) folio page -> Tracked as MM0 (2) App2 faults in a folio page -> Tracked as MM1 (4) App1 unmaps all folio pages -> We will detect "mapped exclusively". Example 2: (1) App1 faults in a (shmem/file-backed) folio page -> Tracked as MM0 (2) App2 faults in a folio page -> Tracked as MM1 (3) App3 faults in a folio page -> No slot available, tracked as "unknown" (4) App1 and App2 unmap all folio pages -> We will detect "maybe mapped shared". Make use of __always_inline to keep possible performance degradation when (un)mapping large folios to a minimum. Note: by squeezing the two flags into the "unsigned long" that stores the MM ids, we can use non-atomic __bit_spin_unlock() and non-atomic setting/clearing of the "maybe mapped shared" bit, effectively not adding any new atomics on the hot path when updating the large mapcount + new metadata, which further helps reduce the runtime overhead in micro-benchmarks.

2025-03-17mm/rmap: use folio_large_nr_pages() in add/remove functionsDavid Hildenbrand
Let's just use the "large" variant in code where we are sure that we have a large folio in our hands: this way we are sure that we don't perform any unnecessary "large" checks. While at it, convert the VM_BUG_ON_VMA to a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE. Maybe in the future there will not be a difference in that regard between large and small folios; in that case, unifying the handling again will be easy. E.g., folio_large_nr_pages() will simply translate to folio_nr_pages() until we replace all instances.

2025-03-17bit_spinlock: __always_inline (un)lock functionsDavid Hildenbrand
The compiler might decide that it is a smart idea to not inline bit_spin_lock(), primarily when a couple of functions in the same file end up calling it. Especially when used in RMAP map/unmap code next, the compiler sometimes decides to not inline, which is then observable in some micro-benchmarks. Let's simply flag all lock/unlock functions as __always_inline; arch_test_and_set_bit_lock() and friends are already tagged like that (but not test_and_set_bit_lock() for some reason). If ever a problem, we could split it into a fast and a slow path, and only force the fast path to be inlined. But there is nothing particularly "big" here.

2025-03-17mm: move _entire_mapcount in folio to page[2] on 32bitDavid Hildenbrand
Let's free up some space on 32bit in page[1] by moving the _pincount to page[2]. Ordinary folios only use the entire mapcount with PMD mappings, so order-1 folios don't apply. Similarly, hugetlb folios are always larger than order-1, turning the entire mapcount essentially unused for all order-1 folios. Moving it to order-1 folios will not change anything. On 32bit, simply check in folio_entire_mapcount() whether we have an order-1 folio, and return 0 in that case. Note that THPs on 32bit are not particularly common (and we don't care too much about performance), but we want to keep it working reliably, because likely we want to use large folios there as well in the future, independent of PMD leaf support. Once we dynamically allocate "struct folio", the 32bit specifics will go away again; even small folios could then have a pincount.

2025-03-17mm: move _pincount in folio to page[2] on 32bitDavid Hildenbrand
Let's free up some space on 32bit in page[1] by moving the _pincount to page[2]. For order-1 folios (never anon folios!) on 32bit, we will now also use the GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS approach. A fully-mapped order-1 folio requires 2 references. With GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS being 1024, we'd detect such folios as "maybe pinned" with 512 full mappings, instead of 1024 for order-0. As anon folios are out of the picture (which are the most relevant users of checking for pinnings on *mapped* pages) and we are talking about 32bit, this is not expected to cause any trouble. In __dump_page(), copy one additional folio page if we detect a folio with an order > 1, so we can dump the pincount on order > 1 folios reliably. Note that THPs on 32bit are not particularly common (and we don't care too much about performance), but we want to keep it working reliably, because likely we want to use large folios there as well in the future, independent of PMD leaf support. Once we dynamically allocate "struct folio", fortunately the 32bit specifics will likely go away again; even small folios could then have a pincount and folio_has_pincount() would essentially always return "true".

This frees up some space in page[2], which we will use on 32bit to free up some space in page[1].

2025-03-17mm: let _folio_nr_pages overlay memcg_data in first tail pageDavid Hildenbrand
Let's free up some more of the "unconditionally available on 64BIT" space in order-1 folios by letting _folio_nr_pages overlay memcg_data in the first tail page (second folio page). Consequently, we have the optimization now whenever we have CONFIG_MEMCG, independent of 64BIT. We have to make sure that page->memcg on tail pages does not return "surprises". page_memcg_check() already properly refuses PageTail(). Let's do that earlier in print_page_owner_memcg() to avoid printing wrong "Slab cache page" information. No other code should touch that field on tail pages of compound pages. Reset the "_nr_pages" to 0 when splitting folios, or when freeing them back to the buddy (to avoid false page->memcg_data "bad page" reports). Note that in __split_huge_page(), folio_nr_pages() would stop working already as soon as we start messing with the subpages. Most kernel configs should have at least CONFIG_MEMCG enabled, even if disabled at runtime. 64byte "struct memmap" is what we usually have on 64BIT. While at it, rename "_folio_nr_pages" to "_nr_pages". Hopefully memdescs / dynamically allocating "strut folio" in the future will further clean this up, e.g., making _nr_pages available in all configs and maybe even in small folios. Doing that should be fairly easy on top of this change.

2025-03-17mm: factor out large folio handling from folio_order() into folio_large_order()David Hildenbrand
Patch series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) + CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT", v3. Let's add an "easy" way to decide -- without false positives, without page-mapcounts and without page table/rmap scanning -- whether a large folio is "certainly mapped exclusively" into a single MM, or whether it "maybe mapped shared" into multiple MMs. Use that information to implement Copy-on-Write reuse, to convert folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_share(), and to introduce a kernel config option that lets us not use+maintain per-page mapcounts in large folios anymore. The bigger picture was presented at LSF/MM [1]. This series is effectively a follow-up on my early work [2], which implemented a more precise, but also more complicated, way to identify whether a large folio is "mapped shared" into multiple MMs or "mapped exclusively" into a single MM. 1 Patch Organization ==================== Patch #1 -> #6: make more room in order-1 folios, so we have two "unsigned long" available for our purposes Patch #7 -> #11: preparations Patch #12: MM owner tracking for large folios Patch #13: COW reuse for PTE-mapped anon THP Patch #14: folio_maybe_mapped_shared() Patch #15 -> #20: introduce and implement CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT 2 MM owner tracking =================== We assign each MM a unique ID ("MM ID"), to be able to squeeze more information in our folios. On 32bit we use 15-bit IDs, on 64bit we use 31-bit IDs. For each large folios, we now store two MM-ID+mapcount ("slot") combinations: * mm0_id + mm0_mapcount * mm1_id + mm1_mapcount On 32bit, we use a 16-bit per-MM mapcount, on 64bit an ordinary 32bit mapcount. This way, we require 2x "unsigned long" on 32bit and 64bit for both slots. Paired with the large mapcount, we can reliably identify whether one of these MMs is the current owner (-> owns all mappings) or even holds all folio references (-> owns all mappings, and all references are from mappings). As long as only two MMs map folio pages at a time, we can reliably and precisely identify whether a large folio is "mapped shared" or "mapped exclusively". Any additional MM that starts mapping the folio while there are no free slots becomes an "untracked MM". If one such "untracked MM" is the last one mapping a folio exclusively, we will not detect the folio as "mapped exclusively" but instead as "maybe mapped shared". (exception: only a single mapping remains) So that's where the approach gets imprecise. For now, we use a bit-spinlock to sync the large mapcount + slots, and make sure we do keep the machinery fast, to not degrade (un)map performance drastically: for example, we make sure to only use a single atomic (when grabbing the bit-spinlock), like we would already perform when updating the large mapcount. 3 CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT ========================= patch #15 -> #20 spell out and document what exactly is affected when not maintaining the per-page mapcounts in large folios anymore. Most importantly, as we cannot maintain folio->_nr_pages_mapped anymore when (un)mapping pages, we'll account a complete folio as mapped if a single page is mapped. In addition, we'll not detect partially mapped anonymous folios as such in all cases yet. Likely less relevant changes include that we might now under-estimate the USS (Unique Set Size) of a process, but never over-estimate it. The goal is to make CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT the default at some point, to then slowly make it the only option, as we learn about real-life impacts and possible ways to mitigate them. 4 Performance ============= Detailed performance numbers were included in v1 [3], and not that much changed between v1 and v2. I did plenty of measurements on different systems in the meantime, that all revealed slightly different results. The pte-mapped-folio micro-benchmarks [4] are fairly sensitive to code layout changes on some systems. Especially the fork() benchmark started being more-shaky-than-before on recent kernels for some reason. In summary, with my micro-benchmarks: * Small folios are not impacted. * CoW performance seems to be mostly unchanged across all folios sizes. * CoW reuse performance of large folios now matches CoW reuse performance of small folios, because we now actually implement the CoW reuse optimization. On an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R I measured a ~65% reduction in runtime, on an arm64 system I measured ~54% reduction. * munmap() performance improves with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. I saw double-digit % reduction (up to ~30% on an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R and up to ~70% on an AmpereOne A192-32X) with larger folios. The larger the folios, the larger the performance improvement. * munmao() performance very slightly (couple percent) degrades without CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT for smaller folios. For larger folios, there seems to be no change at all. * fork() performance improves with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. I saw double-digit % reduction (up to ~20% on an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R and up to ~10% on an AmpereOne A192-32X) with larger folios. The larger the folios, the larger the performance improvement. * While fork() performance without CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT seems to be almost unchanged on some systems, I saw some degradation for smaller folios on the AmpereOne A192-32X. I did not investigate the details yet, but I suspect code layout changes or suboptimal code placement / inlining. I'm not to worried about the fork() micro-benchmarks for smaller folios given how shaky the results are lately and by how much we improved fork() performance recently. I also ran case-anon-cow-rand and case-anon-cow-seq part of vm-scalability, to assess the scalability and the impact of the bit-spinlock. My measurements on a two 2-socket 10-core Intel Xeon Silver 4210R CPU revealed no significant changes. Similarly, running these benchmarks with 2 MiB THPs enabled on the AmpereOne A192-32X with 192 cores, I got < 1% difference with < 1% stdev, which is nice. So far, I did not get my hands on a similarly large system with multiple sockets. I found no other fitting scalability benchmarks that seem to really hammer on concurrent mapping/unmapping of large folio pages like case-anon-cow-seq does. 5 Concerns ========== 5.1 Bit spinlock ---------------- I'm not quite happy about the bit-spinlock, but so far it does not seem to affect scalability in my measurements. If it ever becomes a problem we could either investigate improving the locking, or simply stopping the MM tracking once there are "too many mappings" and simply assume that the folio is "mapped shared" until it was freed. This would be similar (but slightly different) to the "0,1,2,stopped" counting idea Willy had at some point. Adding that logic to "stop tracking" adds more code to the hot path, so I avoided that for now. 5.2 folio_maybe_mapped_shared() ------------------------------- I documented the change from folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_shared() quite extensively. If we run into surprises, I have some ideas on how to resolve them. For now, I think we should be fine. 5.3 Added code to map/unmap hot path ------------------------------------ So far, it looks like the added code on the rmap hot path does not really seem to matter much in the bigger picture. I'd like to further reduce it (and possibly improve fork() performance further), but I don't easily see how right now. Well, and I am out of puff 🙂 Having that said, alternatives I considered (e.g., per-MM per-folio mapcount) would add a lot more overhead to these hot paths. 6 Future Work ============= 6.1 Large mapcount ------------------ It would be very handy if the large mapcount would count how often folio pages are actually mapped into page tables: a PMD on x86-64 would count 512 times. Calculating the average per-page mapcount will be easy, and remapping (PMD->PTE) folios would get even faster. That would also remove the need for the entire mapcount (except for PMD-sized folios for memory statistics reasons ...), and allow for mapping folios larger than PMDs (e.g., 4 MiB) easily. We likely would also have to take the same number of folio references to make our folio_mapcount() == folio_ref_count() work, and we'd want to be able to avoid mapcount+refcount overflows: this could already become an issue with pte-mapped PUD-sized folios (fsdax). One approach we discussed in the THP cabal meeting is (1) extending the mapcount for large folios to 64bit (at least on 64bit systems) and (2) keeping the refcount at 32bit, but (3) having exactly one reference if the the mapcount != 0. It should be doable, but there are some corner cases to consider on the unmap path; it is something that I will be looking into next. 6.2 hugetlb ----------- I'd love to make use of the same tracking also for hugetlb. The real problem is PMD table sharing: getting a page mapped by MM X and unmapped by MM Y will not work. With mshare, that problem should not exist (all mapping/unmapping will be routed through the mshare MM).

2025-03-17mm/mremap: thread state through move page table operationLorenzo Stoakes
Finish refactoring the page table logic by threading the PMC state throughout the operation, allowing us to control the operation as we go. Additionally, update the old_addr, new_addr fields in move_page_tables() as we progress through the process making use of the fact we have this state object now to track this. With these changes made, not only is the code far more readable, but we can finally transmit state throughout the entire operation, which lays the groundwork for sensibly making changes in future to how the mremap() operation is performed. Additionally take the opportunity to refactor the means of determining the progress of the operation, abstracting this to pmc_progress() and simplifying the logic to make it clearer what's going on.

2025-03-17mm/mremap: refactor move_page_tables(), abstracting stateLorenzo Stoakes
A lot of state is threaded throughout the page table moving logic within the mremap code, including boolean values which control behaviour specifically in regard to whether rmap locks need be held over the operation and whether the VMA belongs to a temporary stack being moved by move_arg_pages() (and consequently, relocate_vma_down()). As we already transmit state throughout this operation, it is neater and more readable to maintain a small state object. We do so in the form of pagetable_move_control. In addition, this allows us to update parameters within the state as we manipulate things, for instance with regard to the page table realignment logic. In future I want to add additional functionality to the page table logic, so this is an additional motivation for making it easier to do so. This patch changes move_page_tables() to accept a pointer to a pagetable_move_control struct, and performs changes at this level only. Further page table logic will be updated in a subsequent patch. We additionally also take the opportunity to add significant comments describing the address realignment logic to make it abundantly clear what is going on in this code.

2025-03-17mm/mremap: complete refactor of move_vma()Lorenzo Stoakes
We invoke ksm_madvise() with an intentionally dummy flags field, so no need to pass around. Additionally, the code tries to be 'clever' with account_start, account_end, using these to both check that vma->vm_start != 0 and that we ought to account the newly split portion of VMA post-move, either before or after it. We need to do this because we intentionally removed VM_ACCOUNT on the VMA prior to unmapping, so we don't erroneously unaccount memory (we have already calculated the correct amount to account and accounted it, any subsequent subtraction will be incorrect). This patch significantly expands the comment (from 2002!) about 'concealing' the flag to make it abundantly clear what's going on, as well as adding and expanding a number of other comments also. We can remove account_start, account_end by instead tracking when we account (i.e. vma->vm_flags has the VM_ACCOUNT flag set, and this is not an MREMAP_DONTUNMAP operation), and figuring out when to reinstate the VM_ACCOUNT flag on prior/subsequent VMAs separately. We additionally break the function into logical pieces and attack the very confusing error handling logic (where, for instance, new_addr is set to err). After this change the code is considerably more readable and easy to manipulate.

2025-03-17mm/mremap: initial refactor of move_vma()Lorenzo Stoakes
Update move_vma() to use the threaded VRM object, de-duplicate code and separate into smaller functions to aid readability and debug-ability. This in turn allows further simplification of expand_vma() as we can simply thread VRM through the function. We also take the opportunity to abstract the account charging page count into the VRM in order that we can correctly thread this through the operation. We additionally do the same for tracking mm statistics - exec_vm, stack_vm, data_vm, and locked_vm. As part of this change, we slightly modify when locked pages statistics are counted for in mm_struct statistics. However this should cause no issues, as there is no chance of underflow, nor will any rlimit failures occur as a result. This is an intermediate step before a further refactoring of move_vma() in order to aid review.

2025-03-17mm/mremap: introduce and use vma_remap_struct threaded stateLorenzo Stoakes
A number of mremap() calls both pass around and modify a large number of parameters, making the code less readable and often repeatedly having to determine things such as VMA, size delta, and more. Avoid this by using the common pattern of passing a state object through the operation, updating it as we go. We introduce the vma_remap_struct or 'VRM' for this purpose. This also gives us the ability to accumulate further state through the operation that would otherwise require awkward and error-prone pointer passing. We can also now trivially define helper functions that operate on a VRM object. This pattern has proven itself to be very powerful when implemented for VMA merge, VMA unmapping and memory mapping operations, so it is battle-tested and functional. We both introduce the data structure and use it, introducing helper functions as needed to make things readable, we move some state such as mmap lock and mlock() status to the VRM, we introduce a means of classifying the type of mremap() operation and de-duplicate the get_unmapped_area() lookup. We also neatly thread userfaultfd state throughout the operation. Note that there is further refactoring to be done, chiefly adjust move_vma() to accept a VRM parameter. We defer this as there is pre-requisite work required to be able to do so which we will do in a subsequent patch.

Place checks into a separate function so the mremap() system call is less egregiously long, remove unnecessary mremap_to() offset_in_page() check and just check that earlier so we keep all such basic checks together. Separate out the VMA in-place expansion, hugetlb and expand/move logic into separate, readable functions. De-duplicate code where possible, add comments and ensure that all error handling explicitly specifies the error at the point of it occurring rather than setting a prefixed error value and implicitly setting (which is bug prone).

2025-03-17mm/mremap: correctly handle partial mremap() of VMA starting at 0Lorenzo Stoakes
Patch series "refactor mremap and fix bug", v3. The existing mremap() logic has grown organically over a very long period of time, resulting in code that is in many parts, very difficult to follow and full of subtleties and sources of confusion. In addition, it is difficult to thread state through the operation correctly, as function arguments have expanded, some parameters are expected to be temporarily altered during the operation, others are intended to remain static and some can be overridden. This series completely refactors the mremap implementation, sensibly separating functions, adding comments to explain the more subtle aspects of the implementation and making use of small structs to thread state through everything. The reason for doing so is to lay the groundwork for planned future changes to the mremap logic, changes which require the ability to easily pass around state. Additionally, it would be unhelpful to add yet more logic to code that is already difficult to follow without first refactoring it like this. The first patch in this series additionally fixes a bug when a VMA with start address zero is partially remapped. Tested on real hardware under heavy workload and all self tests are passing. This patch (of 3): Consider the case of a partial mremap() (that results in a VMA split) of an accountable VMA (i.e. which has the VM_ACCOUNT flag set) whose start address is zero, with the MREMAP_MAYMOVE flag specified and a scenario where a move does in fact occur: addr end | | v v |-------------| | vma | |-------------| 0 This move is affected by unmapping the range [addr, end). In order to prevent an incorrect decrement of accounted memory which has already been determined, the mremap() code in move_vma() clears VM_ACCOUNT from the VMA prior to doing so, before reestablishing it in each of the VMAs post-split: addr end | | v v |---| |---| | A | | B | |---| |---| Commit 6b73cff239e5 ("mm: change munmap splitting order and move_vma()") changed this logic such as to determine whether there is a need to do so by establishing account_start and account_end and, in the instance where such an operation is required, assigning them to vma->vm_start and vma->vm_end. Later the code checks if the operation is required for 'A' referenced above thusly: if (account_start) { ... } However, if the VMA described above has vma->vm_start == 0, which is now assigned to account_start, this branch will not be executed. As a result, the VMA 'A' above will remain stripped of its VM_ACCOUNT flag, incorrectly. The fix is to simply convert these variables to booleans and set them as required.

2025-03-17device/dax: properly refcount device dax pages when mappingAlistair Popple
Device DAX pages are currently not reference counted when mapped, instead relying on the devmap PTE bit to ensure mapping code will not get/put references. This requires special handling in various page table walkers, particularly GUP, to manage references on the underlying pgmap to ensure the pages remain valid. However there is no reason these pages can't be refcounted properly at map time. Doning so eliminates the need for the devmap PTE bit, freeing up a precious PTE bit. It also simplifies GUP as it no longer needs to manage the special pgmap references and can instead just treat the pages normally as defined by vm_normal_page().

2025-03-17fs/dax: properly refcount fs dax pagesAlistair Popple
Currently fs dax pages are considered free when the refcount drops to one and their refcounts are not increased when mapped via PTEs or decreased when unmapped. This requires special logic in mm paths to detect that these pages should not be properly refcounted, and to detect when the refcount drops to one instead of zero. On the other hand get_user_pages(), etc. will properly refcount fs dax pages by taking a reference and dropping it when the page is unpinned. Tracking this special behaviour requires extra PTE bits (eg. pte_devmap) and introduces rules that are potentially confusing and specific to FS DAX pages. To fix this, and to possibly allow removal of the special PTE bits in future, convert the fs dax page refcounts to be zero based and instead take a reference on the page each time it is mapped as is currently the case for normal pages. This may also allow a future clean-up to remove the pgmap refcounting that is currently done in mm/gup.c.

2025-03-17dcssblk: mark DAX broken, remove FS_DAX_LIMITED supportDan Williams
The dcssblk driver has long needed special case supoprt to enable limited dax operation, so called CONFIG_FS_DAX_LIMITED. This mode works around the incomplete support for ZONE_DEVICE on s390 by forgoing the ability of dax-mapped pages to support GUP. Now, pending cleanups to fsdax that fix its reference counting [1] depend on the ability of all dax drivers to supply ZONE_DEVICE pages. To allow that work to move forward, dax support needs to be paused for dcssblk until ZONE_DEVICE support arrives. That work has been known for a few years [2], and the removal of "pte_devmap" requirements [3] makes the conversion easier. For now, place the support behind CONFIG_BROKEN, and remove PFN_SPECIAL (dcssblk was the only user).
