In previous commit(mm: use the light version __mod_zone_page_state in
mlocked_vma_newpage()) a irq-unsafe __mod_zone_page_state is used. And as
suggested by Andrew, to reduce the risks that new call sites incorrectly
using mlocked_vma_newpage() without knowing they are adding racing, this
patch folds mlocked_vma_newpage() into its only call site,
page_add_new_anon_rmap, to make it open-cocded for people to know what is
going on.

mlocked_vma_newpage() is called with pte lock held(a spinlock), which
implies preemtion disabled, and the vm stat counter is not modified from
interrupt context, so we need not use an irq-safe mod_zone_page_state()
here, using a light-weight version __mod_zone_page_state() would be OK.
This patch also documents __mod_zone_page_state() and some of its
callsites. The comment above __mod_zone_page_state() is from Hugh
Dickins, and acked by Christoph.
Most credits to Hugh and Christoph for the clarification on the usage of
the __mod_zone_page_state().

A BUG_ON(!PageLocked) was triggered in mlock_vma_page() by Sasha Levin
fuzzing with trinity. The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() does not lock
the pages other than its check_page parameter (which is already locked).
The BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() is not documented and its purpose is
somewhat unclear, but apparently it serializes against page migration,
which could otherwise fail to transfer the PG_mlocked flag. This would
not be fatal, as the page would be eventually encountered again, but
NR_MLOCK accounting would become distorted nevertheless. This patch adds
a comment to the BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() and munlock_vma_page() to that
effect.
The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() is fixed so that for page !=
check_page, trylock_page() is attempted (to avoid possible deadlocks as we
already have check_page locked) and mlock_vma_page() is performed only
upon success. If the page lock cannot be obtained, the page is left
without PG_mlocked, which is again not a problem in the whole unevictable
memory design.

Add remove_linear_migration_ptes_from_nonlinear(), to fix an interesting
little include/linux/swapops.h:131 BUG_ON(!PageLocked) found by trinity:
indicating that remove_migration_ptes() failed to find one of the
migration entries that was temporarily inserted.
The problem comes from remap_file_pages()'s switch from vma_interval_tree
(good for inserting the migration entry) to i_mmap_nonlinear list (no good
for locating it again); but can only be a problem if the remap_file_pages()
range does not cover the whole of the vma (zap_pte() clears the range).
remove_migration_ptes() needs a file_nonlinear method to go down the
i_mmap_nonlinear list, applying linear location to look for migration
entries in those vmas too, just in case there was this race.
The file_nonlinear method does need rmap_walk_control.arg to do this;
but it never needed vma passed in - vma comes from its own iteration.

In a virtualized environment and given an appropriate interface the guest
can mark pages as unused while they are free (for the s390 implementation
see git commit 45e576b1c3 "guest page hinting light"). For the host
the unused state is a property of the pte.
This patch adds the primitive 'pte_unused' and code to the host swap out
handler so that pages marked as unused by all mappers are not swapped out
but discarded instead, thus saving one IO for swap out and potentially
another one for swap in.

Most of the VM_BUG_ON assertions are performed on a page. Usually, when
one of these assertions fails we'll get a BUG_ON with a call stack and
the registers.
I've recently noticed based on the requests to add a small piece of code
that dumps the page to various VM_BUG_ON sites that the page dump is
quite useful to people debugging issues in mm.
This patch adds a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(cond, page) which beyond doing what
VM_BUG_ON() does, also dumps the page before executing the actual
BUG_ON.

There are a lot of common parts in traversing functions, but there are

pointer on each rmap_walker_control, we can handle these difference

Following are differences we should handle.
1. difference of lock function in anon mapping case
2. nonlinear handling in file mapping case
3. prechecked condition:
checking memcg in page_referenced(),
checking VM_SHARE in page_mkclean()
checking temporary vma in try_to_unmap()
4. exit condition:
checking page_mapped() in try_to_unmap()

When we traverse anon_vma, we need to take a read-side anon_lock. But
there is subtle difference in the situation so that we can't use same
method to take a lock in each cases. Therefore, we need to make
rmap_walk_anon() taking difference lock function.
This patch is the first step, factoring lock function for anon_lock out
of rmap_walk_anon(). It will be used in case of removing migration
entry and in default of rmap_walk_anon().

To merge all kinds of rmap traverse functions, try_to_unmap(),
try_to_munlock(), page_referenced() and page_mkclean(), we need to
extract common parts and separate out non-common parts.
Nonlinear handling is handled just in try_to_unmap_file() and other rmap
traverse functions doesn't care of it. Therfore it is better to factor
nonlinear handling out of try_to_unmap_file() in order to merge all
kinds of rmap traverse functions easily.

Rmap traversing is used in five different cases, try_to_unmap(),
try_to_munlock(), page_referenced(), page_mkclean() and
remove_migration_ptes(). Each one implements its own traversing
functions for the cases, anon, file, ksm, respectively. These cause
lots of duplications and cause maintenance overhead. They also make
codes being hard to understand and error-prone. One example is hugepage
handling. There is a code to compute hugepage offset correctly in
try_to_unmap_file(), but, there isn't a code to compute hugepage offset
in rmap_walk_file(). These are used pairwise in migration context, but
we missed to modify pairwise.
To overcome these drawbacks, we should unify these through one unified
function. I decide rmap_walk() as main function since it has no
unnecessity. And to control behavior of rmap_walk(), I introduce struct
rmap_walk_control having some function pointers. These makes
rmap_walk() working for their specific needs.
This patchset remove a lot of duplicated code as you can see in below
short-stat and kernel text size also decrease slightly.

This patch (of 9):
We have to recompute pgoff if the given page is huge, since result based
on HPAGE_SIZE is not approapriate for scanning the vma interval tree, as
shown by commit 36e4f20af8 ("hugetlb: do not use
vma_hugecache_offset() for vma_prio_tree_foreach") and commit 369a713e
("rmap: recompute pgoff for unmapping huge page").
To handle both the cases, normal page for page cache and hugetlb page,
by same way, we can use compound_page(). It returns 0 on non-compound
page and it also returns proper value on compound page.

The last remaining use for the storage key of the s390 architecture
is reference counting. The alternative is to make page table entries
invalid while they are old. On access the fault handler marks the
pte/pmd as young which makes the pte/pmd valid if the access rights
allow read access. The pte/pmd invalidations required for software
managed reference bits cost a bit of performance, on the other hand
the RRBE/RRBM instructions to read and reset the referenced bits are
quite expensive as well.

Andy Lutomirski reported that if a page with _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit set
get swapped out, the bit is getting lost and no longer available when
pte read back.
To resolve this we introduce _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit which is saved in
pte entry for the page being swapped out. When such page is to be read
back from a swap cache we check for bit presence and if it's there we
clear it and restore the former _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit back.
One of the problem was to find a place in pte entry where we can save
the _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit while page is in swap. The _PAGE_PSE was
chosen for that, it doesn't intersect with swap entry format stored in
pte.

Similar to __pagevec_lru_add, this patch removes the LRU parameter from
__lru_cache_add and lru_cache_add_lru as the caller does not control the
exact LRU the page gets added to. lru_cache_add_lru gets renamed to
lru_cache_add the name is silly without the lru parameter. With the
parameter removed, it is required that the caller indicate if they want
the page added to the active or inactive list by setting or clearing
PageActive respectively.

The s390 architecture is unique in respect to dirty page detection,
it uses the change bit in the per-page storage key to track page
modifications. All other architectures track dirty bits by means
of page table entries. This property of s390 has caused numerous
problems in the past, e.g. see git commit ef5d437f71
"mm: fix XFS oops due to dirty pages without buffers on s390".
To avoid future issues in regard to per-page dirty bits convert
s390 to a fault based software dirty bit detection mechanism. All
user page table entries which are marked as clean will be hardware
read-only, even if the pte is supposed to be writable. A write by
the user process will trigger a protection fault which will cause
the user pte to be marked as dirty and the hardware read-only bit
is removed.
With this change the dirty bit in the storage key is irrelevant
for Linux as a host, but the storage key is still required for
KVM guests. The effect is that page_test_and_clear_dirty and the
related code can be removed. The referenced bit in the storage
key is still used by the page_test_and_clear_young primitive to
provide page age information.
For page cache pages of mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty
there will not be any change in behavior as the dirty bit tracking
already uses read-only ptes to control the amount of dirty pages.
Only for swap cache pages and pages of mappings without
mapping_cap_account_dirty there can be additional protection faults.
To avoid an excessive number of additional faults the mk_pte
primitive checks for PageDirty if the pgprot value allows for writes
and pre-dirties the pte. That avoids all additional faults for
tmpfs and shmem pages until these pages are added to the swap cache.

Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman:
"There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree
(balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and
autonuma which is in aa.git.
In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because
its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about
scheduling. In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be
desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building
scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9.
The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are
mel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108
mingo: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331
tglx: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437
srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397
The results are a mixed bag. In my own tests, balancenuma does
reasonably well. It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against
mainline. On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is
incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad
but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts. Thomas'
results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of
numacore or autonuma. Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a
large machine with imbalanced node sizes.
My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved
dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally.
We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of
migration even when it shows that overall performance is better.
There are also cases where it regresses. Of interest is that for
specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of
warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by
the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports. Recently I
reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with
NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of
this problem is. Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch
handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case. It's possible
numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration.
These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start
with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has
not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks."

On s390 any write to a page (even from kernel itself) sets architecture
specific page dirty bit. Thus when a page is written to via buffered
write, HW dirty bit gets set and when we later map and unmap the page,
page_remove_rmap() finds the dirty bit and calls set_page_dirty().
Dirtying of a page which shouldn't be dirty can cause all sorts of
problems to filesystems. The bug we observed in practice is that
buffers from the page get freed, so when the page gets later marked as
dirty and writeback writes it, XFS crashes due to an assertion
BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page)) in page_buffers() called from
xfs_count_page_state().
Similar problem can also happen when zero_user_segment() call from
xfs_vm_writepage() (or block_write_full_page() for that matter) set the
hardware dirty bit during writeback, later buffers get freed, and then
page unmapped.
Fix the issue by ignoring s390 HW dirty bit for page cache pages of
mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty(). This is safe because for
such mappings when a page gets marked as writeable in PTE it is also
marked dirty in do_wp_page() or do_page_fault(). When the dirty bit is
cleared by clear_page_dirty_for_io(), the page gets writeprotected in
page_mkclean(). So pagecache page is writeable if and only if it is
dirty.
Thanks to Hugh Dickins for pointing out mapping has to have
mapping_cap_account_dirty() for things to work and proposing a cleaned
up variant of the patch.
The patch has survived about two hours of running fsx-linux on tmpfs
while heavily swapping and several days of running on out build machines
where the original problem was triggered.

In order to allow sleeping during mmu notifier calls, we need to avoid
invoking them under the page table spinlock. This patch solves the
problem by calling invalidate_page notification after releasing the lock
(but before freeing the page itself), or by wrapping the page invalidation
with calls to invalidate_range_begin and invalidate_range_end.
To prevent accidental changes to the invalidate_range_end arguments after
the call to invalidate_range_begin, the patch introduces a convention of
saving the arguments in consistently named locals:
unsigned long mmun_start; /* For mmu_notifiers */
unsigned long mmun_end; /* For mmu_notifiers */
...
mmun_start = ...
mmun_end = ...
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end);
...
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end);
The patch changes code to use this convention for all calls to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end, except those where the calls are
close enough so that anyone who glances at the code can see the values
aren't changing.
This patchset is a preliminary step towards on-demand paging design to be
added to the RDMA stack.
Why do we want on-demand paging for Infiniband?
Applications register memory with an RDMA adapter using system calls,
and subsequently post IO operations that refer to the corresponding
virtual addresses directly to HW. Until now, this was achieved by
pinning the memory during the registration calls. The goal of on demand
paging is to avoid pinning the pages of registered memory regions (MRs).
This will allow users the same flexibility they get when swapping any
other part of their processes address spaces. Instead of requiring the
entire MR to fit in physical memory, we can allow the MR to be larger,
and only fit the current working set in physical memory.
Why should anyone care? What problems are users currently experiencing?
This can make programming with RDMA much simpler. Today, developers
that are working with more data than their RAM can hold need either to
deregister and reregister memory regions throughout their process's
life, or keep a single memory region and copy the data to it. On demand
paging will allow these developers to register a single MR at the
beginning of their process's life, and let the operating system manage
which pages needs to be fetched at a given time. In the future, we
might be able to provide a single memory access key for each process
that would provide the entire process's address as one large memory
region, and the developers wouldn't need to register memory regions at
all.
Is there any prospect that any other subsystems will utilise these
infrastructural changes? If so, which and how, etc?
As for other subsystems, I understand that XPMEM wanted to sleep in
MMU notifiers, as Christoph Lameter wrote at
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0802.1/0460.html and
perhaps Andrea knows about other use cases.
Scheduling in mmu notifications is required since we need to sync the
hardware with the secondary page tables change. A TLB flush of an IO
device is inherently slower than a CPU TLB flush, so our design works by
sending the invalidation request to the device, and waiting for an
interrupt before exiting the mmu notifier handler.
Avi said:
kvm may be a buyer. kvm::mmu_lock, which serializes guest page
faults, also protects long operations such as destroying large ranges.
It would be good to convert it into a spinlock, but as it is used inside
mmu notifiers, this cannot be done.
(there are alternatives, such as keeping the spinlock and using a
generation counter to do the teardown in O(1), which is what the "may"
is doing up there).

We had thought that pages could no longer get freed while still marked as
mlocked; but Johannes Weiner posted this program to demonstrate that
truncating an mlocked private file mapping containing COWed pages is still
mishandled:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
char *map;
int fd;
system("grep mlockfreed /proc/vmstat");
fd = open("chigurh", O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_RDWR);
unlink("chigurh");
ftruncate(fd, 4096);
map = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
map[0] = 11;
mlock(map, sizeof(fd));
ftruncate(fd, 0);
close(fd);
munlock(map, sizeof(fd));
munmap(map, 4096);
system("grep mlockfreed /proc/vmstat");
return 0;
}
The anon COWed pages are not caught by truncation's clear_page_mlock() of
the pagecache pages; but unmap_mapping_range() unmaps them, so we ought to
look out for them there in page_remove_rmap(). Indeed, why should
truncation or invalidation be doing the clear_page_mlock() when removing
from pagecache? mlock is a property of mapping in userspace, not a
property of pagecache: an mlocked unmapped page is nonsensical.

In file and anon rmap, we use interval trees to find potentially relevant
vmas and then call vma_address() to find the virtual address the given
page might be found at in these vmas. vma_address() used to include a
check that the returned address falls within the limits of the vma, but
this check isn't necessary now that we always use interval trees in rmap:
the interval tree just doesn't return any vmas which this check would find
to be irrelevant. As a result, we can replace the use of -EFAULT error

VM_BUG_ON().

When a large VMA (anon or private file mapping) is first touched, which
will populate its anon_vma field, and then split into many regions through
the use of mprotect(), the original anon_vma ends up linking all of the
vmas on a linked list. This can cause rmap to become inefficient, as we
have to walk potentially thousands of irrelevent vmas before finding the
one a given anon page might fall into.
By replacing the same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree (where
each avc's interval is determined by its vma's start and last pgoffs), we
can make rmap efficient for this use case again.
While the change is large, all of its pieces are fairly simple.
Most places that were walking the same_anon_vma list were looking for a
known pgoff, so they can just use the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach()
interval tree iterator instead. The exception here is ksm, where the
page's index is not known. It would probably be possible to rework ksm so
that the index would be known, but for now I have decided to keep things
simple and just walk the entirety of the interval tree there.
When updating vma's that already have an anon_vma assigned, we must take
care to re-index the corresponding avc's on their interval tree. This is
done through the use of anon_vma_interval_tree_pre_update_vma() and
anon_vma_interval_tree_post_update_vma(), which remove the avc's from
their interval tree before the update and re-insert them after the update.
The anon_vma stays locked during the update, so there is no chance that
rmap would miss the vmas that are being updated.

mremap() had a clever optimization where move_ptes() did not take the
anon_vma lock to avoid a race with anon rmap users such as page migration.
Instead, the avc's were ordered in such a way that the origin vma was
always visited by rmap before the destination. This ordering and the use
of page table locks rmap usage safe. However, we want to replace the use
of linked lists in anon rmap with an interval tree, and this will make it
harder to impose such ordering as the interval tree will always be sorted
by the avc->vma->vm_pgoff value. For now, let's replace the
anon_vma_moveto_tail() ordering function with proper anon_vma locking in
move_ptes(). Once we have the anon interval tree in place, we will
re-introduce an optimization to avoid taking these locks in the most
common cases.

Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree. The
algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be
directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the
VMA. So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the
details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are
filled in using the C preprocessor.
Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a
replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

The swap token code no longer fits in with the current VM model. It
does not play well with cgroups or the better NUMA placement code in
development, since we have only one swap token globally.
It also has the potential to mess with scalability of the system, by
increasing the number of non-reclaimable pages on the active and
inactive anon LRU lists.
Last but not least, the swap token code has been broken for a year
without complaints, as reported by Konstantin Khlebnikov. This suggests
we no longer have much use for it.
The days of sub-1G memory systems with heavy use of swap are over. If
we ever need thrashing reducing code in the future, we will have to
implement something that does scale.

Now, page-stat-per-memcg is recorded into per page_cgroup flag by
duplicating page's status into the flag. The reason is that memcg has a
feature to move a page from a group to another group and we have race
between "move" and "page stat accounting",
Under current logic, assume CPU-A and CPU-B. CPU-A does "move" and CPU-B
does "page stat accounting".
When CPU-A goes 1st,
CPU-A CPU-B
update "struct page" info.
move_lock_mem_cgroup(memcg)
see pc->flags
copy page stat to new group
overwrite pc->mem_cgroup.
move_unlock_mem_cgroup(memcg)
move_lock_mem_cgroup(mem)
set pc->flags
update page stat accounting
move_unlock_mem_cgroup(mem)
stat accounting is guarded by move_lock_mem_cgroup() and "move" logic
(CPU-A) doesn't see changes in "struct page" information.
But it's costly to have the same information both in 'struct page' and
'struct page_cgroup'. And, there is a potential problem.
For example, assume we have PG_dirty accounting in memcg.
PG_..is a flag for struct page.
PCG_ is a flag for struct page_cgroup.
(This is just an example. The same problem can be found in any
kind of page stat accounting.)
CPU-A CPU-B
TestSet PG_dirty
(delay) TestClear PG_dirty
if (TestClear(PCG_dirty))
memcg->nr_dirty--
if (TestSet(PCG_dirty))
memcg->nr_dirty++
Here, memcg->nr_dirty = +1, this is wrong. This race was reported by Greg
Thelen <gthelen@google.com>. Now, only FILE_MAPPED is supported but
fortunately, it's serialized by page table lock and this is not real bug,
_now_,
If this potential problem is caused by having duplicated information in
struct page and struct page_cgroup, we may be able to fix this by using
original 'struct page' information. But we'll have a problem in "move
account"
Assume we use only PG_dirty.
CPU-A CPU-B
TestSet PG_dirty
(delay) move_lock_mem_cgroup()
if (PageDirty(page))
new_memcg->nr_dirty++
pc->mem_cgroup = new_memcg;
move_unlock_mem_cgroup()
move_lock_mem_cgroup()
memcg = pc->mem_cgroup
new_memcg->nr_dirty++
accounting information may be double-counted. This was original reason to
have PCG_xxx flags but it seems PCG_xxx has another problem.
I think we need a bigger lock as
move_lock_mem_cgroup(page)
TestSetPageDirty(page)
update page stats (without any checks)
move_unlock_mem_cgroup(page)
This fixes both of problems and we don't have to duplicate page flag into
page_cgroup. Please note: move_lock_mem_cgroup() is held only when there
are possibility of "account move" under the system. So, in most path,
status update will go without atomic locks.
This patch introduces mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() and
mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat() both should be called at modifying
'struct page' information if memcg takes care of it. as
mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
modify page information
mem_cgroup_update_page_stat()
=> never check any 'struct page' info, just update counters.
mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat().
This patch is slow because we need to call begin_update_page_stat()/
end_update_page_stat() regardless of accounted will be changed or not. A
following patch adds an easy optimization and reduces the cost.

migrate was doing an rmap_walk with speculative lock-less access on
pagetables. That could lead it to not serializing properly against mremap
PT locks. But a second problem remains in the order of vmas in the
same_anon_vma list used by the rmap_walk.
If vma_merge succeeds in copy_vma, the src vma could be placed after the
dst vma in the same_anon_vma list. That could still lead to migrate
missing some pte.
This patch adds an anon_vma_moveto_tail() function to force the dst vma at
the end of the list before mremap starts to solve the problem.
If the mremap is very large and there are a lots of parents or childs
sharing the anon_vma root lock, this should still scale better than taking
the anon_vma root lock around every pte copy practically for the whole
duration of mremap.
Update: Hugh noticed special care is needed in the error path where
move_page_tables goes in the reverse direction, a second
anon_vma_moveto_tail() call is needed in the error path.
This program exercises the anon_vma_moveto_tail:

On x86 a page without a mapper is by definition not referenced / old.
The s390 architecture keeps the reference bit in the storage key and
the current code will check the storage key for page without a mapper.
This leads to an interesting effect: the first time an s390 system
needs to write pages to swap it only finds referenced pages. This
causes a lot of pages to get added and written to the swap device.
To avoid this behaviour change page_referenced to query the storage
key only if there is a mapper of the page.

i_alloc_sem is a rather special rw_semaphore. It's the last one that may
be released by a non-owner, and it's write side is always mirrored by
real exclusion. It's intended use it to wait for all pending direct I/O
requests to finish before starting a truncate.
Replace it with a hand-grown construct:
- exclusion for truncates is already guaranteed by i_mutex, so it can
simply fall way
- the reader side is replaced by an i_dio_count member in struct inode
that counts the number of pending direct I/O requests. Truncate can't
proceed as long as it's non-zero
- when i_dio_count reaches non-zero we wake up a pending truncate using
wake_up_bit on a new bit in i_flags
- new references to i_dio_count can't appear while we are waiting for
it to read zero because the direct I/O count always needs i_mutex
(or an equivalent like XFS's i_iolock) for starting a new operation.
This scheme is much simpler, and saves the space of a spinlock_t and a
struct list_head in struct inode (typically 160 bits on a non-debug 64-bit
system).

Hugh Dickins points out that lockdep (correctly) spots a potential
deadlock on the anon_vma lock, because we now do a GFP_KERNEL allocation
of anon_vma_chain while doing anon_vma_clone(). The problem is that
page reclaim will want to take the anon_vma lock of any anonymous pages
that it will try to reclaim.
So re-organize the code in anon_vma_clone() slightly: first do just a
GFP_NOWAIT allocation, which will usually work fine. But if that fails,
let's just drop the lock and re-do the allocation, now with GFP_KERNEL.
End result: not only do we avoid the locking problem, this also ends up
getting better concurrency in case the allocation does need to block.
Tim Chen reports that with all these anon_vma locking tweaks, we're now
almost back up to the spinlock performance.

This matches the anon_vma_clone() case, and uses the same lock helper
functions. Because of the need to potentially release the anon_vma's,
it's a bit more complex, though.
We traverse the 'vma->anon_vma_chain' in two phases: the first loop gets
the anon_vma lock (with the helper function that only takes the lock
once for the whole loop), and removes any entries that don't need any
more processing.
The second phase just traverses the remaining list entries (without
holding the anon_vma lock), and does any actual freeing of the
anon_vma's that is required.

In anon_vma_clone() we traverse the vma->anon_vma_chain of the source
vma, locking the anon_vma for each entry.
But they are all going to have the same root entry, which means that
we're locking and unlocking the same lock over and over again. Which is
expensive in locked operations, but can get _really_ expensive when that
root entry sees any kind of lock contention.
In fact, Tim Chen reports a big performance regression due to this: when
we switched to use a mutex instead of a spinlock, the contention case
gets much worse.
So to alleviate this all, this commit creates a small helper function
(lock_anon_vma_root()) that can be used to take the lock just once
rather than taking and releasing it over and over again.
We still have the same "take the lock and release" it behavior in the
exit path (in unlink_anon_vmas()), but that one is a bit harder to fix
since we're actually freeing the anon_vma entries as we go, and that
will touch the lock too.

On one machine I've been getting hangs, a page fault's anon_vma_prepare()
waiting in anon_vma_lock(), other processes waiting for that page's lock.
This is a replay of last year's f18194275c "mm: fix hang on
anon_vma->root->lock".
The new page_lock_anon_vma() places too much faith in its refcount: when
it has acquired the mutex_trylock(), it's possible that a racing task in
anon_vma_alloc() has just reallocated the struct anon_vma, set refcount
to 1, and is about to reset its anon_vma->root.
Fix this by saving anon_vma->root, and relying on the usual page_mapped()
check instead of a refcount check: if page is still mapped, the anon_vma
is still ours; if page is not still mapped, we're no longer interested.

I've hit the "address >= vma->vm_end" check in do_page_add_anon_rmap()
just once. The stack showed khugepaged allocation trying to compact
pages: the call to page_add_anon_rmap() coming from remove_migration_pte().
That path holds anon_vma lock, but does not hold mmap_sem: it can
therefore race with a split_vma(), and in commit 5f70b962cc "mmap:
avoid unnecessary anon_vma lock" we just took away the anon_vma lock
protection when adjusting vma->vm_end.
I don't think that particular BUG_ON ever caught anything interesting,
so better replace it by a comment, than reinstate the anon_vma locking.

Sadly this inceases the cost of page_lock_anon_vma() from one to two

The page_clear_dirty primitive always sets the default storage key
which resets the access control bits and the fetch protection bit.
That will surprise a KVM guest that sets non-zero access control
bits or the fetch protection bit. Merge page_test_dirty and
page_clear_dirty back to a single function and only clear the
dirty bit from the storage key.
In addition move the function page_test_and_clear_dirty and
page_test_and_clear_young to page.h where they belong. This

Protect inode state transitions and validity checks with the
inode->i_lock. This enables us to make inode state transitions
independently of the inode_lock and is the first step to peeling
away the inode_lock from the code.
This requires that __iget() is done atomically with i_state checks
during list traversals so that we don't race with another thread
marking the inode I_FREEING between the state check and grabbing the
reference.
Also remove the unlock_new_inode() memory barrier optimisation
required to avoid taking the inode_lock when clearing I_NEW.
Simplify the code by simply taking the inode->i_lock around the
state change and wakeup. Because the wakeup is no longer tricky,
remove the wake_up_inode() function and open code the wakeup where
necessary.

When vmscan.c calls page_referenced(), if an anon page was created
before a process forked, rmap will search for it in both of the
processes, even though one of them might have since broken COW.
If the child process mlocks the vma where the COWed page belongs to,
page_referenced() running on the page mapped by the parent would lead to
*vm_flags getting VM_LOCKED set erroneously (leading to the references
on the parent page being ignored and evicting the parent page too
early).
*mapcount would also be decremented by page_referenced_one even if the
page wasn't found by page_check_address.
This also lets pmdp_clear_flush_young_notify() go ahead on a
pmd_trans_splitting() pmd.
We hold the page_table_lock so __split_huge_page_map() must wait the
pmdp_clear_flush_young_notify() to complete before it can modify the
pmd. The pmd is also still mapped in userland so the young bit may
materialize through a tlb miss before split_huge_page_map runs.
This will provide a more accurate page_referenced() behavior during
split_huge_page().

hugetlbfs was changed to allow memory failure to migrate the hugetlbfs

compound_head/order was also run unsafe on THP pages that can be splitted
at any time.
All compound_head() invocations in memory-failure.c that are run on pages
that aren't pinned and that can be freed and reused from under us (while
compound_head is running) are buggy because compound_head can return a
dangling pointer, but I'm not fixing this as this is a generic
memory-failure bug not specific to THP but it applies to hugetlbfs too, so
I can fix it later after THP is merged upstream.

Lately I've been working to make KVM use hugepages transparently without
the usual restrictions of hugetlbfs. Some of the restrictions I'd like to
see removed:
1) hugepages have to be swappable or the guest physical memory remains
locked in RAM and can't be paged out to swap
2) if a hugepage allocation fails, regular pages should be allocated
instead and mixed in the same vma without any failure and without
userland noticing
3) if some task quits and more hugepages become available in the
buddy, guest physical memory backed by regular pages should be
relocated on hugepages automatically in regions under
madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) (ideally event driven by waking up the
kernel deamon if the order=HPAGE_PMD_SHIFT-PAGE_SHIFT list becomes
not null)
4) avoidance of reservation and maximization of use of hugepages whenever
possible. Reservation (needed to avoid runtime fatal faliures) may be ok for
1 machine with 1 database with 1 database cache with 1 database cache size
known at boot time. It's definitely not feasible with a virtualization
hypervisor usage like RHEV-H that runs an unknown number of virtual machines
with an unknown size of each virtual machine with an unknown amount of
pagecache that could be potentially useful in the host for guest not using
O_DIRECT (aka cache=off).
hugepages in the virtualization hypervisor (and also in the guest!) are
much more important than in a regular host not using virtualization,
becasue with NPT/EPT they decrease the tlb-miss cacheline accesses from 24
to 19 in case only the hypervisor uses transparent hugepages, and they
decrease the tlb-miss cacheline accesses from 19 to 15 in case both the
linux hypervisor and the linux guest both uses this patch (though the
guest will limit the addition speedup to anonymous regions only for
now...). Even more important is that the tlb miss handler is much slower
on a NPT/EPT guest than for a regular shadow paging or no-virtualization
scenario. So maximizing the amount of virtual memory cached by the TLB
pays off significantly more with NPT/EPT than without (even if there would
be no significant speedup in the tlb-miss runtime).
The first (and more tedious) part of this work requires allowing the VM to
handle anonymous hugepages mixed with regular pages transparently on
regular anonymous vmas. This is what this patch tries to achieve in the
least intrusive possible way. We want hugepages and hugetlb to be used in
a way so that all applications can benefit without changes (as usual we
leverage the KVM virtualization design: by improving the Linux VM at
large, KVM gets the performance boost too).
The most important design choice is: always fallback to 4k allocation if
the hugepage allocation fails! This is the _very_ opposite of some large
pagecache patches that failed with -EIO back then if a 64k (or similar)
allocation failed...
Second important decision (to reduce the impact of the feature on the
existing pagetable handling code) is that at any time we can split an
hugepage into 512 regular pages and it has to be done with an operation
that can't fail. This way the reliability of the swapping isn't decreased
(no need to allocate memory when we are short on memory to swap) and it's
trivial to plug a split_huge_page* one-liner where needed without
polluting the VM. Over time we can teach mprotect, mremap and friends to
handle pmd_trans_huge natively without calling split_huge_page*. The fact
it can't fail isn't just for swap: if split_huge_page would return -ENOMEM
(instead of the current void) we'd need to rollback the mprotect from the
middle of it (ideally including undoing the split_vma) which would be a
big change and in the very wrong direction (it'd likely be simpler not to
call split_huge_page at all and to teach mprotect and friends to handle
hugepages instead of rolling them back from the middle). In short the
very value of split_huge_page is that it can't fail.
The collapsing and madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) part will remain separated and
incremental and it'll just be an "harmless" addition later if this initial
part is agreed upon. It also should be noted that locking-wise replacing
regular pages with hugepages is going to be very easy if compared to what
I'm doing below in split_huge_page, as it will only happen when
page_count(page) matches page_mapcount(page) if we can take the PG_lock
and mmap_sem in write mode. collapse_huge_page will be a "best effort"
that (unlike split_huge_page) can fail at the minimal sign of trouble and
we can try again later. collapse_huge_page will be similar to how KSM
works and the madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) will work similar to
madvise(MADV_MERGEABLE).
The default I like is that transparent hugepages are used at page fault
time. This can be changed with
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled. The control knob can be set
to three values "always", "madvise", "never" which mean respectively that
hugepages are always used, or only inside madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) regions,
or never used. /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag instead
controls if the hugepage allocation should defrag memory aggressively
"always", only inside "madvise" regions, or "never".
The pmd_trans_splitting/pmd_trans_huge locking is very solid. The
put_page (from get_user_page users that can't use mmu notifier like
O_DIRECT) that runs against a __split_huge_page_refcount instead was a
pain to serialize in a way that would result always in a coherent page
count for both tail and head. I think my locking solution with a
compound_lock taken only after the page_first is valid and is still a
PageHead should be safe but it surely needs review from SMP race point of
view. In short there is no current existing way to serialize the O_DIRECT
final put_page against split_huge_page_refcount so I had to invent a new
one (O_DIRECT loses knowledge on the mapping status by the time gup_fast
returns so...). And I didn't want to impact all gup/gup_fast users for
now, maybe if we change the gup interface substantially we can avoid this
locking, I admit I didn't think too much about it because changing the gup
unpinning interface would be invasive.
If we ignored O_DIRECT we could stick to the existing compound refcounting
code, by simply adding a get_user_pages_fast_flags(foll_flags) where KVM
(and any other mmu notifier user) would call it without FOLL_GET (and if
FOLL_GET isn't set we'd just BUG_ON if nobody registered itself in the
current task mmu notifier list yet). But O_DIRECT is fundamental for
decent performance of virtualized I/O on fast storage so we can't avoid it
to solve the race of put_page against split_huge_page_refcount to achieve
a complete hugepage feature for KVM.
Swap and oom works fine (well just like with regular pages ;). MMU
notifier is handled transparently too, with the exception of the young bit
on the pmd, that didn't have a range check but I think KVM will be fine
because the whole point of hugepages is that EPT/NPT will also use a huge
pmd when they notice gup returns pages with PageCompound set, so they
won't care of a range and there's just the pmd young bit to check in that
case.
NOTE: in some cases if the L2 cache is small, this may slowdown and waste
memory during COWs because 4M of memory are accessed in a single fault
instead of 8k (the payoff is that after COW the program can run faster).
So we might want to switch the copy_huge_page (and clear_huge_page too) to
not temporal stores. I also extensively researched ways to avoid this
cache trashing with a full prefault logic that would cow in 8k/16k/32k/64k
up to 1M (I can send those patches that fully implemented prefault) but I
concluded they're not worth it and they add an huge additional complexity
and they remove all tlb benefits until the full hugepage has been faulted
in, to save a little bit of memory and some cache during app startup, but
they still don't improve substantially the cache-trashing during startup
if the prefault happens in >4k chunks. One reason is that those 4k pte
entries copied are still mapped on a perfectly cache-colored hugepage, so
the trashing is the worst one can generate in those copies (cow of 4k page
copies aren't so well colored so they trashes less, but again this results
in software running faster after the page fault). Those prefault patches
allowed things like a pte where post-cow pages were local 4k regular anon
pages and the not-yet-cowed pte entries were pointing in the middle of
some hugepage mapped read-only. If it doesn't payoff substantially with
todays hardware it will payoff even less in the future with larger l2
caches, and the prefault logic would blot the VM a lot. If one is
emebdded transparent_hugepage can be disabled during boot with sysfs or
with the boot commandline parameter transparent_hugepage=0 (or
transparent_hugepage=2 to restrict hugepages inside madvise regions) that
will ensure not a single hugepage is allocated at boot time. It is simple
enough to just disable transparent hugepage globally and let transparent
hugepages be allocated selectively by applications in the MADV_HUGEPAGE
region (both at page fault time, and if enabled with the
collapse_huge_page too through the kernel daemon).
This patch supports only hugepages mapped in the pmd, archs that have
smaller hugepages will not fit in this patch alone. Also some archs like
power have certain tlb limits that prevents mixing different page size in
the same regions so they will not fit in this framework that requires
"graceful fallback" to basic PAGE_SIZE in case of physical memory
fragmentation. hugetlbfs remains a perfect fit for those because its
software limits happen to match the hardware limits. hugetlbfs also
remains a perfect fit for hugepage sizes like 1GByte that cannot be hoped
to be found not fragmented after a certain system uptime and that would be
very expensive to defragment with relocation, so requiring reservation.
hugetlbfs is the "reservation way", the point of transparent hugepages is
not to have any reservation at all and maximizing the use of cache and
hugepages at all times automatically.

Paging logic that splits the page before it is unmapped and added to swap
to ensure backwards compatibility with the legacy swap code. Eventually
swap should natively pageout the hugepages to increase performance and
decrease seeking and fragmentation of swap space. swapoff can just skip
over huge pmd as they cannot be part of swap yet. In add_to_swap be
careful to split the page only if we got a valid swap entry so we don't
split hugepages with a full swap.
In theory we could split pages before isolating them during the lru scan,
but for khugepaged to be safe, I'm relying on either mmap_sem write mode,
or PG_lock taken, so split_huge_page has to run either with mmap_sem
read/write mode or PG_lock taken. Calling it from isolate_lru_page would
make locking more complicated, in addition to that split_huge_page would
deadlock if called by __isolate_lru_page because it has to take the lru
lock to add the tail pages.

Make anon_vma_chain_free() static. It is called only in rmap.c and the

The page_check_address() conditionally grabs *@ptlp in case of returning
non-NULL. Rename and wrap it using __cond_lock() removes following

The page_lock_anon_vma() conditionally grabs RCU and anon_vma lock but
page_unlock_anon_vma() releases them unconditionally. This leads sparse
to complain about context imbalance. Annotate them.

Improve performance of the sske operation by using the nonquiescing
variant if the affected page has no mappings established. On machines
with no support for the new sske variant the mask bit will be ignored.

Linus asked for a cleanup of __page_set_anon_rmap to make
it look more like the cleaner huge pages version.
Factor out the duplicated PageAnon check into a single check
at the beginning of the function.
Remove obsolete comments and rewrite them into standard English.
No functional changes.

2.6.36-rc1 commit 21d0d443cd "rmap:
resurrect page_address_in_vma anon_vma check" was right to resurrect
that check; but now that it's comparing anon_vma->roots instead of
just anon_vmas, there's a danger of oopsing on a NULL anon_vma.
In most cases no NULL anon_vma ever gets here; but it turns out that
occasionally KSM, when enabled on a forked or forking process, will
itself call page_address_in_vma() on a "half-KSM" page left over from
an earlier failed attempt to merge - whose page_anon_vma() is NULL.
It's my bug that those should be getting here at all: I thought they
were already dealt with, this oops proves me wrong, I'll fix it in
the next release - such pages are effectively pinned until their
process exits, since rmap cannot find their ptes (though swapoff can).
For now just work around it by making page_address_in_vma() safe (and
add a comment on why that check is wanted anyway). A similar check
in __page_check_anon_rmap() is safe because do_page_add_anon_rmap()
already excluded KSM pages.

This patch uses anon_vma->root and avoids unnecessary overwriting when
anon_vma is already set up.

After several hours, kbuild tests hang with anon_vma_prepare() spinning on
a newly allocated anon_vma's lock - on a box with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=y
(which makes this very much more likely, but it could happen without).
The ever-subtle page_lock_anon_vma() now needs a further twist: since
anon_vma_prepare() and anon_vma_fork() are liable to change the ->root
of a reused anon_vma structure at any moment, page_lock_anon_vma()
needs to check page_mapped() again before succeeding, otherwise
page_unlock_anon_vma() might address a different root->lock.
