2019-03-05mm: update get_user_pages_longterm to migrate pages allocated from CMA regionAneesh Kumar K.V
This patch updates get_user_pages_longterm to migrate pages allocated out of CMA region. This makes sure that we don't keep non-movable pages (due to page reference count) in the CMA area. This will be used by ppc64 in a later patch to avoid pinning pages in the CMA region. ppc64 uses CMA region for allocation of the hardware page table (hash page table) and not able to migrate pages out of CMA region results in page table allocation failures. One case where we hit this easy is when a guest using a VFIO passthrough device. VFIO locks all the guest's memory and if the guest memory is backed by CMA region, it becomes unmovable resulting in fragmenting the CMA and possibly preventing other guests from allocation a large enough hash page table. NOTE: We allocate the new page without using __GFP_THISNODE Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190114095438.32470-3-aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Alexey Kardashevskiy <aik@ozlabs.ru> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Cc: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2019-03-05mm/hugetlb: distinguish between migratability and movabilityAnshuman Khandual
Patch series "arm64/mm: Enable HugeTLB migration", v4. This patch series enables HugeTLB migration support for all supported huge page sizes at all levels including contiguous bit implementation. Following HugeTLB migration support matrix has been enabled with this patch series. All permutations have been tested except for the 16GB. CONT PTE PMD CONT PMD PUD -------- --- -------- --- 4K: 64K 2M 32M 1G 16K: 2M 32M 1G 64K: 2M 512M 16G First the series adds migration support for PUD based huge pages. It then adds a platform specific hook to query an architecture if a given huge page size is supported for migration while also providing a default fallback option preserving the existing semantics which just checks for (PMD|PUD|PGDIR)_SHIFT macros. The last two patches enables HugeTLB migration on arm64 and subscribe to this new platform specific hook by defining an override. The second patch differentiates between movability and migratability aspects of huge pages and implements hugepage_movable_supported() which can then be used during allocation to decide whether to place the huge page in movable zone or not. This patch (of 5): During huge page allocation it's migratability is checked to determine if it should be placed under movable zones with GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE. But the movability aspect of the huge page could depend on other factors than just migratability. Movability in itself is a distinct property which should not be tied with migratability alone. This differentiates these two and implements an enhanced movability check which also considers huge page size to determine if it is feasible to be placed under a movable zone. At present it just checks for gigantic pages but going forward it can incorporate other enhanced checks.

2019-03-05mm: replace all open encodings for NUMA_NO_NODEAnshuman Khandual
Patch series "Replace all open encodings for NUMA_NO_NODE", v3. All these places for replacement were found by running the following grep patterns on the entire kernel code. Please let me know if this might have missed some instances. This might also have replaced some false positives. I will appreciate suggestions, inputs and review. 1. git grep "nid == -1" 2. git grep "node == -1" 3. git grep "nid = -1" 4. git grep "node = -1" This patch (of 2): At present there are multiple places where invalid node number is encoded as -1. Even though implicitly understood it is always better to have macros in there. Replace these open encodings for an invalid node number with the global macro NUMA_NO_NODE. This helps remove NUMA related assumptions like 'invalid node' from various places redirecting them to a common definition.

2019-03-01hugetlbfs: fix races and page leaks during migrationMike Kravetz
hugetlb pages should only be migrated if they are 'active'. The routines set/clear_page_huge_active() modify the active state of hugetlb pages. When a new hugetlb page is allocated at fault time, set_page_huge_active is called before the page is locked. Therefore, another thread could race and migrate the page while it is being added to page table by the fault code. This race is somewhat hard to trigger, but can be seen by strategically adding udelay to simulate worst case scheduling behavior. Depending on 'how' the code races, various BUG()s could be triggered. To address this issue, simply delay the set_page_huge_active call until after the page is successfully added to the page table. Hugetlb pages can also be leaked at migration time if the pages are associated with a file in an explicitly mounted hugetlbfs filesystem. For example, consider a two node system with 4GB worth of huge pages available. A program mmaps a 2G file in a hugetlbfs filesystem. It then migrates the pages associated with the file from one node to another. When the program exits, huge page counts are as follows: node0 1024 free_hugepages 1024 nr_hugepages node1 0 free_hugepages 1024 nr_hugepages Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on nodev 4.0G 2.0G 2.0G 50% /var/opt/hugepool That is as expected. 2G of huge pages are taken from the free_hugepages counts, and 2G is the size of the file in the explicitly mounted filesystem. If the file is then removed, the counts become: node0 1024 free_hugepages 1024 nr_hugepages node1 1024 free_hugepages 1024 nr_hugepages Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on nodev 4.0G 2.0G 2.0G 50% /var/opt/hugepool Note that the filesystem still shows 2G of pages used, while there actually are no huge pages in use. The only way to 'fix' the filesystem accounting is to unmount the filesystem If a hugetlb page is associated with an explicitly mounted filesystem, this information in contained in the page_private field. At migration time, this information is not preserved. To fix, simply transfer page_private from old to new page at migration time if necessary. There is a related race with removing a huge page from a file and migration. When a huge page is removed from the pagecache, the page_mapping() field is cleared, yet page_private remains set until the page is actually freed by free_huge_page(). A page could be migrated while in this state. However, since page_mapping() is not set the hugetlbfs specific routine to transfer page_private is not called and we leak the page count in the filesystem. To fix that, check for this condition before migrating a huge page. If the condition is detected, return EBUSY for the page.

2018-12-28hugetlbfs: Use i_mmap_rwsem to fix page fault/truncate raceMike Kravetz
hugetlbfs page faults can race with truncate and hole punch operations. Current code in the page fault path attempts to handle this by 'backing out' operations if we encounter the race. One obvious omission in the current code is removing a page newly added to the page cache. This is pretty straight forward to address, but there is a more subtle and difficult issue of backing out hugetlb reservations. To handle this correctly, the 'reservation state' before page allocation needs to be noted so that it can be properly backed out. There are four distinct possibilities for reservation state: shared/reserved, shared/no-resv, private/reserved and private/no-resv. Backing out a reservation may require memory allocation which could fail so that needs to be taken into account as well. Instead of writing the required complicated code for this rare occurrence, just eliminate the race. i_mmap_rwsem is now held in read mode for the duration of page fault processing. Hold i_mmap_rwsem longer in truncation and hold punch code to cover the call to remove_inode_hugepages. With this modification, code in remove_inode_hugepages checking for races becomes 'dead' as it can not longer happen. Remove the dead code and expand comments to explain reasoning. Similarly, checks for races with truncation in the page fault path can be simplified and removed.

2018-12-28hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem for more pmd sharing synchronizationMike Kravetz
While looking at BUGs associated with invalid huge page map counts, it was discovered and observed that a huge pte pointer could become 'invalid' and point to another task's page table. Consider the following: A task takes a page fault on a shared hugetlbfs file and calls huge_pte_alloc to get a ptep. Suppose the returned ptep points to a shared pmd. Now, another task truncates the hugetlbfs file. As part of truncation, it unmaps everyone who has the file mapped. If the range being truncated is covered by a shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will be called. For all but the last user of the shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will clear the pud pointing to the pmd. If the task in the middle of the page fault is not the last user, the ptep returned by huge_pte_alloc now points to another task's page table or worse. This leads to bad things such as incorrect page map/reference counts or invalid memory references. To fix, expand the use of i_mmap_rwsem as follows: - i_mmap_rwsem is held in read mode whenever huge_pmd_share is called. huge_pmd_share is only called via huge_pte_alloc, so callers of huge_pte_alloc take i_mmap_rwsem before calling. In addition, callers of huge_pte_alloc continue to hold the semaphore until finished with the ptep. - i_mmap_rwsem is held in write mode whenever huge_pmd_unshare is called.

2018-11-30userfaultfd: use ENOENT instead of EFAULT if the atomic copy user failsAndrea Arcangeli
Patch series "userfaultfd shmem updates". Jann found two bugs in the userfaultfd shmem MAP_SHARED backend: the lack of the VM_MAYWRITE check and the lack of i_size checks. Then looking into the above we also fixed the MAP_PRIVATE case. Hugh by source review also found a data loss source if UFFDIO_COPY is used on shmem MAP_SHARED PROT_READ mappings (the production usages incidentally run with PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, so the data loss couldn't happen in those production usages like with QEMU). The whole patchset is marked for stable. We verified QEMU postcopy live migration with guest running on shmem MAP_PRIVATE run as well as before after the fix of shmem MAP_PRIVATE. Regardless if it's shmem or hugetlbfs or MAP_PRIVATE or MAP_SHARED, QEMU unconditionally invokes a punch hole if the guest mapping is filebacked and a MADV_DONTNEED too (needed to get rid of the MAP_PRIVATE COWs and for the anon backend). This patch (of 5): We internally used EFAULT to communicate with the caller, switch to ENOENT, so EFAULT can be used as a non internal retval.

2018-11-18hugetlbfs: fix kernel BUG at fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c:444!Mike Kravetz
This bug has been experienced several times by the Oracle DB team. The BUG is in remove_inode_hugepages() as follows: /* * If page is mapped, it was faulted in after being * unmapped in caller. Unmap (again) now after taking * the fault mutex. The mutex will prevent faults * until we finish removing the page. * * This race can only happen in the hole punch case. * Getting here in a truncate operation is a bug. */ if (unlikely(page_mapped(page))) { BUG_ON(truncate_op); In this case, the elevated map count is not the result of a race. Rather it was incorrectly incremented as the result of a bug in the huge pmd sharing code. Consider the following: - Process A maps a hugetlbfs file of sufficient size and alignment (PUD_SIZE) that a pmd page could be shared. - Process B maps the same hugetlbfs file with the same size and alignment such that a pmd page is shared. - Process B then calls mprotect() to change protections for the mapping with the shared pmd. As a result, the pmd is 'unshared'. - Process B then calls mprotect() again to chage protections for the mapping back to their original value. pmd remains unshared. - Process B then forks and process C is created. During the fork process, we do dup_mm -> dup_mmap -> copy_page_range to copy page tables. Copying page tables for hugetlb mappings is done in the routine copy_hugetlb_page_range. In copy_hugetlb_page_range(), the destination pte is obtained by: dst_pte = huge_pte_alloc(dst, addr, sz); If pmd sharing is possible, the returned pointer will be to a pte in an existing page table. In the situation above, process C could share with either process A or process B. Since process A is first in the list, the returned pte is a pointer to a pte in process A's page table. However, the check for pmd sharing in copy_hugetlb_page_range is: /* If the pagetables are shared don't copy or take references */ if (dst_pte == src_pte) continue; Since process C is sharing with process A instead of process B, the above test fails. The code in copy_hugetlb_page_range which follows assumes dst_pte points to a huge_pte_none pte. It copies the pte entry from src_pte to dst_pte and increments this map count of the associated page. This is how we end up with an elevated map count. To solve, check the dst_pte entry for huge_pte_none. If !none, this implies PMD sharing so do not copy.

2018-10-26hugetlbfs: dirty pages as they are added to pagecacheMike Kravetz
Some test systems were experiencing negative huge page reserve counts and incorrect file block counts. This was traced to /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches removing clean pages from hugetlbfs file pagecaches. When non-hugetlbfs explicit code removes the pages, the appropriate accounting is not performed. This can be recreated as follows: fallocate -l 2M /dev/hugepages/foo echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches fallocate -l 2M /dev/hugepages/foo grep -i huge /proc/meminfo AnonHugePages: 0 kB ShmemHugePages: 0 kB HugePages_Total: 2048 HugePages_Free: 2047 HugePages_Rsvd: 18446744073709551615 HugePages_Surp: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB Hugetlb: 4194304 kB ls -lsh /dev/hugepages/foo 4.0M -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2.0M Oct 17 20:05 /dev/hugepages/foo To address this issue, dirty pages as they are added to pagecache. This can easily be reproduced with fallocate as shown above. Read faulted pages will eventually end up being marked dirty. But there is a window where they are clean and could be impacted by code such as drop_caches. So, just dirty them all as they are added to the pagecache.

2018-10-05hugetlb: take PMD sharing into account when flushing tlb/cachesMike Kravetz
When fixing an issue with PMD sharing and migration, it was discovered via code inspection that other callers of huge_pmd_unshare potentially have an issue with cache and tlb flushing. Use the routine adjust_range_if_pmd_sharing_possible() to calculate worst case ranges for mmu notifiers. Ensure that this range is flushed if huge_pmd_unshare succeeds and unmaps a PUD_SUZE area.

2018-10-05mm: migration: fix migration of huge PMD shared pagesMike Kravetz
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.

2018-08-23mm: Change return type int to vm_fault_t for fault handlersSouptick Joarder
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.

2018-08-23mm: fix race on soft-offlining free huge pagesNaoya Horiguchi
Patch series "mm: soft-offline: fix race against page allocation". Xishi recently reported the issue about race on reusing the target pages of soft offlining. Discussion and analysis showed that we need make sure that setting PG_hwpoison should be done in the right place under zone->lock for soft offline. 1/2 handles free hugepage's case, and 2/2 hanldes free buddy page's case. This patch (of 2): There's a race condition between soft offline and hugetlb_fault which causes unexpected process killing and/or hugetlb allocation failure. The process killing is caused by the following flow: CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 2 soft offline get_any_page // find the hugetlb is free mmap a hugetlb file page fault ... hugetlb_fault hugetlb_no_page alloc_huge_page // succeed soft_offline_free_page // set hwpoison flag mmap the hugetlb file page fault ... hugetlb_fault hugetlb_no_page find_lock_page return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON mm_fault_error do_sigbus // kill the process The hugetlb allocation failure comes from the following flow: CPU 0 CPU 1 mmap a hugetlb file // reserve all free page but don't fault-in soft offline get_any_page // find the hugetlb is free soft_offline_free_page // set hwpoison flag dissolve_free_huge_page // fail because all free hugepages are reserved page fault ... hugetlb_fault hugetlb_no_page alloc_huge_page ... dequeue_huge_page_node_exact // ignore hwpoisoned hugepage // and finally fail due to no-mem The root cause of this is that current soft-offline code is written based on an assumption that PageHWPoison flag should be set at first to avoid accessing the corrupted data. This makes sense for memory_failure() or hard offline, but does not for soft offline because soft offline is about corrected (not uncorrected) error and is safe from data lost. This patch changes soft offline semantics where it sets PageHWPoison flag only after containment of the error page completes successfully.

When using 1GiB pages during early boot, use the new memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw() to allocate memory without zeroing it. Zeroing out hundreds or thousands of GiB in a single core memset() call is very slow, and can make early boot last upwards of 20-30 minutes on multi TiB machines. The memory does not need to be zero'd as the hugetlb pages are always zero'd on page fault. Tested: Booted with ~3800 1G pages, and it booted successfully in roughly the same amount of time as with 0, as opposed to the 25+ minutes it would take before.

2018-08-17mm, hugetlbfs: pass fault address to cow handlerHuang Ying
This is to take better advantage of the general huge page copying optimization. Where, the target subpage will be copied last to avoid the cache lines of target subpage to be evicted when copying other subpages. This works better if the address of the target subpage is available when copying huge page. So hugetlbfs page fault handlers are changed to pass that information to hugetlb_cow(). This will benefit workloads which don't access the begin of the hugetlbfs huge page after the page fault under heavy cache contention.

2018-08-17mm, hugetlbfs: rename address to haddr in hugetlb_cow()Huang Ying
To take better advantage of general huge page copying optimization, the target subpage address will be passed to hugetlb_cow(), then copy_user_huge_page(). So we will use both target subpage address and huge page size aligned address in hugetlb_cow(). To distinguish between them, "haddr" is used for huge page size aligned address to be consistent with Transparent Huge Page naming convention. Now, only huge page size aligned address is used in hugetlb_cow(), so the "address" is renamed to "haddr" in hugetlb_cow() in this patch. Next patch will use target subpage address in hugetlb_cow() too. The patch is just code cleanup without any functionality changes.

2018-07-03mm: hugetlb: yield when prepping struct pagesCannon Matthews
When booting with very large numbers of gigantic (i.e. 1G) pages, the operations in the loop of gather_bootmem_prealloc, and specifically prep_compound_gigantic_page, takes a very long time, and can cause a softlockup if enough pages are requested at boot. For example booting with 3844 1G pages requires prepping (set_compound_head, init the count) over 1 billion 4K tail pages, which takes considerable time. Add a cond_resched() to the outer loop in gather_bootmem_prealloc() to prevent this lockup. Tested: Booted with softlockup_panic=1 hugepagesz=1G hugepages=3844 and no softlockup is reported, and the hugepages are reported as successfully setup.

2018-06-12treewide: kmalloc() -> kmalloc_array()Kees Cook
The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This patch replaces cases of: kmalloc(a * b, gfp) with: kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp) as well as handling cases of: kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp) with: kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp) as it's slightly less ugly than: kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp) This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like: kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp) though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion. Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were dropped, since they're redundant. The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own implementation of kmalloc(). The Coccinelle script used for this was: // Fix redundant parens around sizeof(). @@ type TYPE; expression THING, E; @@ ( kmalloc( - (sizeof(TYPE)) * E + sizeof(TYPE) * E , ...) | kmalloc( - (sizeof(THING)) * E + sizeof(THING) * E , ...) ) // Drop single-byte sizes and redundant parens. @@ expression COUNT;

2018-06-07mm, hugetlbfs: pass fault address to no page handlerHuang Ying
This is to take better advantage of general huge page clearing optimization (commit c79b57e462b5: "mm: hugetlb: clear target sub-page last when clearing huge page") for hugetlbfs. In the general optimization patch, the sub-page to access will be cleared last to avoid the cache lines of to access sub-page to be evicted when clearing other sub-pages. This works better if we have the address of the sub-page to access, that is, the fault address inside the huge page. So the hugetlbfs no page fault handler is changed to pass that information. This will benefit workloads which don't access the begin of the hugetlbfs huge page after the page fault under heavy cache contention for shared last level cache. The patch is a generic optimization which should benefit quite some workloads, not for a specific use case. To demonstrate the performance benefit of the patch, we tested it with vm-scalability run on hugetlbfs. With this patch, the throughput increases ~28.1% in vm-scalability anon-w-seq test case with 88 processes on a 2 socket Xeon E5 2699 v4 system (44 cores, 88 threads). The test case creates 88 processes, each process mmaps a big anonymous memory area with MAP_HUGETLB and writes to it from the end to the begin. For each process, other processes could be seen as other workload which generates heavy cache pressure. At the same time, the cache miss rate reduced from ~36.3% to ~25.6%, the IPC (instruction per cycle) increased from 0.3 to 0.37, and the time spent in user space is reduced ~19.3%.

2018-04-05mm, hugetlbfs: introduce ->pagesize() to vm_operations_structDan Williams
When device-dax is operating in huge-page mode we want it to behave like hugetlbfs and report the MMU page mapping size that is being enforced by the vma. Similar to commit 31383c6865a5 "mm, hugetlbfs: introduce ->split() to vm_operations_struct" it would be messy to teach vma_mmu_pagesize() about device-dax page mapping sizes in the same (hstate) way that hugetlbfs communicates this attribute. Instead, these patches introduce a new ->pagesize() vm operation.

2018-04-05mm, powerpc: use vma_kernel_pagesize() in vma_mmu_pagesize()Dan Williams
Patch series "mm, smaps: MMUPageSize for device-dax", v3. Similar to commit 31383c6865a5 ("mm, hugetlbfs: introduce ->split() to vm_operations_struct") here is another occasion where we want special-case hugetlbfs/hstate enabling to also apply to device-dax. This prompts the question what other hstate conversions we might do beyond ->split() and ->pagesize(), but this appears to be the last of the usages of hstate_vma() in generic/non-hugetlbfs specific code paths. This patch (of 3): The current powerpc definition of vma_mmu_pagesize() open codes looking up the page size via hstate. It is identical to the generic vma_kernel_pagesize() implementation. Now, vma_kernel_pagesize() is growing support for determining the page size of Device-DAX vmas in addition to the existing Hugetlbfs page size determination. Ideally, if the powerpc vma_mmu_pagesize() used vma_kernel_pagesize() it would automatically benefit from any new vma-type support that is added to vma_kernel_pagesize(). However, the powerpc vma_mmu_pagesize() is prevented from calling vma_kernel_pagesize() due to a circular header dependency that requires vma_mmu_pagesize() to be defined before including <linux/hugetlb.h>. Break this circular dependency by defining the default vma_mmu_pagesize() as a __weak symbol to be overridden by the powerpc version.

2018-03-22hugetlbfs: check for pgoff value overflowMike Kravetz
A vma with vm_pgoff large enough to overflow a loff_t type when converted to a byte offset can be passed via the remap_file_pages system call. The hugetlbfs mmap routine uses the byte offset to calculate reservations and file size. A sequence such as: mmap(0x20a00000, 0x600000, 0, 0x66033, -1, 0); remap_file_pages(0x20a00000, 0x600000, 0, 0x20000000000000, 0); will result in the following when task exits/file closed, kernel BUG at mm/hugetlb.c:749!

Dan Carpenter has noticed that mbind migration callback (new_page) can get a NULL vma pointer and choke on it inside alloc_huge_page_vma which relies on the VMA to get the hstate. We used to BUG_ON this case but the BUG_+ON has been removed recently by "hugetlb, mempolicy: fix the mbind hugetlb migration". The proper way to handle this is to get the hstate from the migrated page and rely on huge_node (resp. get_vma_policy) do the right thing with null VMA. We are currently falling back to the default mempolicy in that case which is in line what THP path is doing here.

2018-01-31hugetlb, mempolicy: fix the mbind hugetlb migrationMichal Hocko
do_mbind migration code relies on alloc_huge_page_noerr for hugetlb pages. alloc_huge_page_noerr uses alloc_huge_page which is a highlevel allocation function which has to take care of reserves, overcommit or hugetlb cgroup accounting. None of that is really required for the page migration because the new page is only temporal and either will replace the original page or it will be dropped. This is essentially as for other migration call paths and there shouldn't be any reason to handle mbind in a special way. The current implementation is even suboptimal because the migration might fail just because the hugetlb cgroup limit is reached, or the overcommit is saturated. Fix this by making mbind like other hugetlb migration paths. Add a new migration helper alloc_huge_page_vma as a wrapper around alloc_huge_page_nodemask with additional mempolicy handling. alloc_huge_page_noerr has no more users and it can go.

2018-01-31mm, hugetlb: further simplify hugetlb allocation APIMichal Hocko
Hugetlb allocator has several layer of allocation functions depending and the purpose of the allocation. There are two allocators depending on whether the page can be allocated from the page allocator or we need a contiguous allocator. This is currently opencoded in alloc_fresh_huge_page which is the only path that might allocate giga pages which require the later allocator. Create alloc_fresh_huge_page which hides this implementation detail and use it in all callers which hardcoded the buddy allocator path (__hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page). This shouldn't introduce any funtional change because both migration and surplus allocators exlude giga pages explicitly. While we are at it let's do some renaming. The current scheme is not consistent and overly painfull to read and understand. Get rid of prefix underscores from most functions. There is no real reason to make names longer. * alloc_fresh_huge_page is the new layer to abstract underlying allocator * __hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page becomes shorter and neater alloc_buddy_huge_page. * Former alloc_fresh_huge_page becomes alloc_pool_huge_page because we put the new page directly to the pool * alloc_surplus_huge_page can drop the opencoded prep_new_huge_page code as it uses alloc_fresh_huge_page now * others lose their excessive prefix underscores to make names shorter [dan.carpenter@oracle.com: fix double unlock bug in alloc_surplus_huge_page()] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180109200559.g3iz5kvbdrz7yydp@mwanda Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180103093213.26329-6-mhocko@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Reviewed-by: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Cc: Andrea Reale <ar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Anshuman Khandual <khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Kirill A.

2018-01-31mm, hugetlb: get rid of surplus page accounting tricksMichal Hocko
alloc_surplus_huge_page increases the pool size and the number of surplus pages opportunistically to prevent from races with the pool size change. See commit d1c3fb1f8f29 ("hugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl") for more details. The resulting code is unnecessarily hairy, cause code duplication and doesn't allow to share the allocation paths. Moreover pool size changes tend to be very seldom so optimizing for them is not really reasonable. Simplify the code and allow to allocate a fresh surplus page as long as we are under the overcommit limit and then recheck the condition after the allocation and drop the new page if the situation has changed. This should provide a reasonable guarantee that an abrupt allocation requests will not go way off the limit. If we consider races with the pool shrinking and enlarging then we should be reasonably safe as well. In the first case we are off by one in the worst case and the second case should work OK because the page is not yet visible. We can waste CPU cycles for the allocation but that should be acceptable for a relatively rare condition.

2018-01-31mm, hugetlb: do not rely on overcommit limit during migrationMichal Hocko
hugepage migration relies on __alloc_buddy_huge_page to get a new page. This has 2 main disadvantages. 1) it doesn't allow to migrate any huge page if the pool is used completely which is not an exceptional case as the pool is static and unused memory is just wasted. 2) it leads to a weird semantic when migration between two numa nodes might increase the pool size of the destination NUMA node while the page is in use. The issue is caused by per NUMA node surplus pages tracking (see free_huge_page). Address both issues by changing the way how we allocate and account pages allocated for migration. Those should temporal by definition. So we mark them that way (we will abuse page flags in the 3rd page) and update free_huge_page to free such pages to the page allocator. Page migration path then just transfers the temporal status from the new page to the old one which will be freed on the last reference. The global surplus count will never change during this path but we still have to be careful when migrating a per-node suprlus page. This is now handled in move_hugetlb_state which is called from the migration path and it copies the hugetlb specific page state and fixes up the accounting when needed Rename __alloc_buddy_huge_page to __alloc_surplus_huge_page to better reflect its purpose. The new allocation routine for the migration path is __alloc_migrate_huge_page. The user visible effect of this patch is that migrated pages are really temporal and they travel between NUMA nodes as per the migration request: Before migration /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages:0 /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages:1 /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/surplus_hugepages:0 /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages:0 /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages:0 /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/surplus_hugepages:0 After /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages:0 /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages:0 /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/surplus_hugepages:0 /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages:0 /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages:1 /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/surplus_hugepages:0 with the previous implementation, both nodes would have nr_hugepages:1 until the page is freed.

2018-01-31mm, hugetlb: integrate giga hugetlb more naturally to the allocation pathMichal Hocko
Gigantic hugetlb pages were ingrown to the hugetlb code as an alien specie with a lot of special casing. The allocation path is not an exception. Unnecessarily so to be honest. It is true that the underlying allocator is different but that is an implementation detail. This patch unifies the hugetlb allocation path that a prepares fresh pool pages. alloc_fresh_gigantic_page basically copies alloc_fresh_huge_page logic so we can move everything there. This will simplify set_max_huge_pages which doesn't have to care about what kind of huge page we allocate.

2018-01-31mm, hugetlb: unify core page allocation accounting and initializationMichal Hocko
Patch series "mm, hugetlb: allocation API and migration improvements" Motivation: this is a follow up for [3] for the allocation API and [4] for the hugetlb migration. It wasn't really easy to split those into two separate patch series as they share some code. My primary motivation to touch this code is to make the gigantic pages migration working. The giga pages allocation code is just too fragile and hacked into the hugetlb code now. This series tries to move giga pages closer to the first class citizen. We are not there yet but having 5 patches is quite a lot already and it will already make the code much easier to follow. I will come with other changes on top after this sees some review. The first two patches should be trivial to review. The third patch changes the way how we migrate huge pages. Newly allocated pages are a subject of the overcommit check and they participate surplus accounting which is quite unfortunate as the changelog explains. This patch doesn't change anything wrt. giga pages. Patch #4 removes the surplus accounting hack from __alloc_surplus_huge_page. I hope I didn't miss anything there and a deeper review is really due there. Patch #5 finally unifies allocation paths and giga pages shouldn't be any special anymore. There is also some renaming going on as well. This patch (of 6): hugetlb allocator has two entry points to the page allocator - alloc_fresh_huge_page_node - __hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page The two differ very subtly in two aspects. The first one doesn't care about HTLB_BUDDY_* stats and it doesn't initialize the huge page. prep_new_huge_page is not used because it not only initializes hugetlb specific stuff but because it also put_page and releases the page to the hugetlb pool which is not what is required in some contexts. This makes things more complicated than necessary. Simplify things by a) removing the page allocator entry point duplicity and only keep __hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page and b) make prep_new_huge_page more reusable by removing the put_page which moves the page to the allocator pool. All current callers are updated to call put_page explicitly. Later patches will add new callers which won't need it. This patch shouldn't introduce any functional change.

2018-01-31mm, hugetlb: remove hugepages_treat_as_movable sysctlMichal Hocko
hugepages_treat_as_movable has been introduced by 396faf0303d2 ("Allow huge page allocations to use GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE") to allow hugetlb allocations from ZONE_MOVABLE even when hugetlb pages were not migrateable. The purpose of the movable zone was different at the time. It aimed at reducing memory fragmentation and hugetlb pages being long lived and large werre not contributing to the fragmentation so it was acceptable to use the zone back then. Things have changed though and the primary purpose of the zone became migratability guarantee. If we allow non migrateable hugetlb pages to be in ZONE_MOVABLE memory hotplug might fail to offline the memory. Remove the knob and only rely on hugepage_migration_supported to allow movable zones. Mel said: : Primarily it was aimed at allowing the hugetlb pool to safely shrink with : the ability to grow it again. The use case was for batched jobs, some of : which needed huge pages and others that did not but didn't want the memory : useless pinned in the huge pages pool. : : I suspect that more users rely on THP than hugetlbfs for flexible use of : huge pages with fallback options so I think that removing the option : should be ok.

2018-01-31mm: show total hugetlb memory consumption in /proc/meminfoRoman Gushchin
Currently we display some hugepage statistics (total, free, etc) in /proc/meminfo, but only for default hugepage size (e.g. 2Mb). If hugepages of different sizes are used (like 2Mb and 1Gb on x86-64), /proc/meminfo output can be confusing, as non-default sized hugepages are not reflected at all, and there are no signs that they are existing and consuming system memory. To solve this problem, let's display the total amount of memory, consumed by hugetlb pages of all sized (both free and used). Let's call it "Hugetlb", and display size in kB to match generic /proc/meminfo style. For example, (1024 2Mb pages and 2 1Gb pages are pre-allocated): $ cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 8168984 kB MemFree: 3789276 kB <...> CmaFree: 0 kB HugePages_Total: 1024 HugePages_Free: 1024 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB Hugetlb: 4194304 kB DirectMap4k: 32632 kB DirectMap2M: 4161536 kB DirectMap1G: 6291456 kB Also, this patch updates corresponding docs to reflect Hugetlb entry meaning and difference between Hugetlb and HugePages_Total * Hugepagesize.

2017-11-29mm/hugetlb: fix NULL-pointer dereference on 5-level paging machineKirill A. Shutemov
I made a mistake during converting hugetlb code to 5-level paging: in huge_pte_alloc() we have to use p4d_alloc(), not p4d_offset(). Otherwise it leads to crash -- NULL-pointer dereference in pud_alloc() if p4d table is not yet allocated. It only can happen in 5-level paging mode. In 4-level paging mode p4d_offset() always returns pgd, so we are fine.

2017-11-29mm, hugetlbfs: introduce ->split() to vm_operations_structDan Williams
Patch series "device-dax: fix unaligned munmap handling" When device-dax is operating in huge-page mode we want it to behave like hugetlbfs and fail attempts to split vmas into unaligned ranges. It would be messy to teach the munmap path about device-dax alignment constraints in the same (hstate) way that hugetlbfs communicates this constraint. Instead, these patches introduce a new ->split() vm operation. This patch (of 2): The device-dax interface has similar constraints as hugetlbfs in that it requires the munmap path to unmap in huge page aligned units. Rather than add more custom vma handling code in __split_vma() introduce a new vm operation to perform this vma specific check.

2017-11-15mm/mmu_notifier: avoid double notification when it is uselessJérôme Glisse
This patch only affects users of mmu_notifier->invalidate_range callback which are device drivers related to ATS/PASID, CAPI, IOMMUv2, SVM ... and it is an optimization for those users. Everyone else is unaffected by it. When clearing a pte/pmd we are given a choice to notify the event under the page table lock (notify version of *_clear_flush helpers do call the mmu_notifier_invalidate_range). But that notification is not necessary in all cases. This patch removes almost all cases where it is useless to have a call to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range before mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end. It also adds documentation in all those cases explaining why. Below is a more in depth analysis of why this is fine to do this: For secondary TLB (non CPU TLB) like IOMMU TLB or device TLB (when device use thing like ATS/PASID to get the IOMMU to walk the CPU page table to access a process virtual address space). There is only 2 cases when you need to notify those secondary TLB while holding page table lock when clearing a pte/pmd: A) page backing address is free before mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end B) a page table entry is updated to point to a new page (COW, write fault on zero page, __replace_page(), ...) Case A is obvious you do not want to take the risk for the device to write to a page that might now be used by something completely different. Case B is more subtle. For correctness it requires the following sequence to happen: - take page table lock - clear page table entry and notify (pmd/pte_huge_clear_flush_notify()) - set page table entry to point to new page If clearing the page table entry is not followed by a notify before setting the new pte/pmd value then you can break memory model like C11 or C++11 for the device. Consider the following scenario (device use a feature similar to ATS/ PASID): Two address addrA and addrB such that |addrA - addrB| >= PAGE_SIZE we assume they are write protected for COW (other case of B apply too). [Time N] ----------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {try to write to addrA} CPU-thread-1 {try to write to addrB} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {read addrA and populate device TLB} DEV-thread-2 {read addrB and populate device TLB} [Time N+1] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {COW_step0: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(addrA)}} CPU-thread-1 {COW_step0: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(addrB)}} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {} DEV-thread-2 {} [Time N+2] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {COW_step1: {update page table point to new page for addrA}} CPU-thread-1 {COW_step1: {update page table point to new page for addrB}} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {} DEV-thread-2 {} [Time N+3] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {preempted} CPU-thread-1 {preempted} CPU-thread-2 {write to addrA which is a write to new page} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {} DEV-thread-2 {} [Time N+3] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {preempted} CPU-thread-1 {preempted} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {write to addrB which is a write to new page} DEV-thread-0 {} DEV-thread-2 {} [Time N+4] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {preempted} CPU-thread-1 {COW_step3: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(addrB)}} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {} DEV-thread-2 {} [Time N+5] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {preempted} CPU-thread-1 {} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {read addrA from old page} DEV-thread-2 {read addrB from new page} So here because at time N+2 the clear page table entry was not pair with a notification to invalidate the secondary TLB, the device see the new value for addrB before seing the new value for addrA. This break total memory ordering for the device. When changing a pte to write protect or to point to a new write protected page with same content (KSM) it is ok to delay invalidate_range callback to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() outside the page table lock. This is true even if the thread doing page table update is preempted right after releasing page table lock before calling mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end Thanks to Andrea for thinking of a problematic scenario for COW.
