This removes two out of three API calls - especially the tricky commit step that needed to happen at just the right time between when the page is "set up" and when it's "published" - somewhat vague and fluid concepts that varied by page type.

2020-06-03mm: memcontrol: switch to native NR_ANON_MAPPED counterJohannes Weiner1-1/+1
Memcg maintains a private MEMCG_RSS counter. This divergence from the generic VM accounting means unnecessary code overhead, and creates a dependency for memcg that page->mapping is set up at the time of charging, so that page types can be told apart. Convert the generic accounting sites to mod_lruvec_page_state and friends to maintain the per-cgroup vmstat counter of NR_ANON_MAPPED. We use lock_page_memcg() to stabilize page->mem_cgroup during rmap changes, the same way we do for NR_FILE_MAPPED. With the previous patch removing MEMCG_CACHE and the private NR_SHMEM counter, this patch finally eliminates the need to have page->mapping set up at charge time.

2020-06-03mm: memcontrol: drop @compound parameter from memcg charging APIJohannes Weiner1-10/+10
The memcg charging API carries a boolean @compound parameter that tells whether the page we're dealing with is a hugepage. mem_cgroup_commit_charge() has another boolean @lrucare that indicates whether the page needs LRU locking or not while charging. The majority of callsites know those parameters at compile time, which results in a lot of naked "false, false" argument lists. This makes for cryptic code and is a breeding ground for subtle mistakes. Thankfully, the huge page state can be inferred from the page itself and doesn't need to be passed along. This is safe because charging completes before the page is published and somebody may split it. Simplify the callsites by removing @compound, and let memcg infer the state by using hpage_nr_pages() unconditionally. That function does PageTransHuge() to identify huge pages, which also helpfully asserts that nobody passes in tail pages by accident. The following patches will introduce a new charging API, best not to carry over unnecessary weight.

The page can be included into collapse as long as it doesn't have extra pins (from GUP or otherwise). Logic to check the refcount is moved to a separate function. For pages in swap cache, add compound_nr(page) to the expected refcount, in order to handle the compound page case. This is in preparation for the following patch. VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() was removed from __collapse_huge_page_copy() as the invariant it checks is no longer valid: the source can be mapped multiple times now.

2020-06-03khugepaged: drain LRU add pagevec after swapinKirill A. Shutemov1-0/+5
collapse_huge_page() tries to swap in pages that are part of the PMD range. Just swapped in page goes though LRU add cache. The cache gets extra reference on the page. The extra reference can lead to the collapse fail: the following __collapse_huge_page_isolate() would check refcount and abort collapse seeing unexpected refcount.

We have few problems with the approach: - It is way too late: we can do the check much earlier and safe time. khugepaged_scan_pmd() already knows if we have any pages to swap in and number of referenced page. - It stops collapse altogether if there's not enough referenced pages, not only swappingin. Fix it by making the right check early. We also can avoid additional page table scanning if khugepaged_scan_pmd() haven't found any swap entries.

2020-04-02mm/vma: move VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED into generic headerAnshuman Khandual1-2/+0
Patch series "mm/vma: some more minor changes", v2. The motivation here is to consolidate VMA flags and helpers in generic memory header and reduce code duplication when ever applicable. If there are other possible similar instances which might be missing here, please do let me me know. I will be happy to incorporate them. This patch (of 3): Move VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED into generic header (include/linux/mm.h). This just makes sure that no VMA flag is scattered in individual function files any longer. While at this, fix an old comment which is no longer valid. This should not cause any functional change.

2019-12-01mm/thp: flush file for !is_shmem PageDirty() case in collapse_file()Song Liu1-0/+18
For non-shmem file THPs, khugepaged only collapses read only .text mapping (VM_DENYWRITE). These pages should not be dirty except the case where the file hasn't been flushed since first write. Call filemap_flush() in collapse_file() to accelerate the write back in such cases.

2019-11-15mm,thp: recheck each page before collapsing file THPSong Liu1-12/+16
In collapse_file(), for !is_shmem case, current check cannot guarantee the locked page is up-to-date. Specifically, xas_unlock_irq() should not be called before lock_page() and get_page(); and it is necessary to recheck PageUptodate() after locking the page. With this bug and CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS=y, madvise(HUGE)'ed .text may contain corrupted data. This is because khugepaged mistakenly collapses some not up-to-date sub pages into a huge page, and assumes the huge page is up-to-date. This will NOT corrupt data in the disk, because the page is read-only and never written back. Fix this by properly checking PageUptodate() after locking the page. This check replaces "VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageUptodate(page), page);". Also, move PageDirty() check after locking the page. Current khugepaged should not try to collapse dirty file THP, because it is limited to read-only .text. The only case we hit a dirty page here is when the page hasn't been written since write. Bail out and retry when this happens. syzbot reported bug on previous version of this patch.

2019-09-24khugepaged: enable collapse pmd for pte-mapped THPSong Liu1-4/+188
khugepaged needs exclusive mmap_sem to access page table. When it fails to lock mmap_sem, the page will fault in as pte-mapped THP. As the page is already a THP, khugepaged will not handle this pmd again. This patch enables the khugepaged to retry collapse the page table. struct mm_slot (in khugepaged.c) is extended with an array, containing addresses of pte-mapped THPs. We use array here for simplicity. We can easily replace it with more advanced data structures when needed. In khugepaged_scan_mm_slot(), if the mm contains pte-mapped THP, we try to collapse the page table. Since collapse may happen at an later time, some pages may already fault in. collapse_pte_mapped_thp() is added to properly handle these pages. collapse_pte_mapped_thp() also double checks whether all ptes in this pmd are mapping to the same THP. This is necessary because some subpage of the THP may be replaced, for example by uprobe. In such cases, it is not possible to collapse the pmd.

2019-09-24mm,thp: avoid writes to file with THP in pagecacheSong Liu1-1/+3
In previous patch, an application could put part of its text section in THP via madvise(). These THPs will be protected from writes when the application is still running (TXTBSY). However, after the application exits, the file is available for writes. This patch avoids writes to file THP by dropping page cache for the file when the file is open for write. A new counter nr_thps is added to struct address_space. In do_dentry_open(), if the file is open for write and nr_thps is non-zero, we drop page cache for the whole file.

2019-09-24mm,thp: add read-only THP support for (non-shmem) FSSong Liu1-42/+107
This patch is (hopefully) the first step to enable THP for non-shmem filesystems. This patch enables an application to put part of its text sections to THP via madvise, for example: madvise((void *)0x600000, 0x200000, MADV_HUGEPAGE); We tried to reuse the logic for THP on tmpfs. Currently, write is not supported for non-shmem THP. khugepaged will only process vma with VM_DENYWRITE. sys_mmap() ignores VM_DENYWRITE requests (see ksys_mmap_pgoff). The only way to create vma with VM_DENYWRITE is execve(). This requirement limits non-shmem THP to text sections. The next patch will handle writes, which would only happen when the all the vmas with VM_DENYWRITE are unmapped. An EXPERIMENTAL config, READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS, is added to gate this feature.

2019-09-03sched/topology: Improve load balancing on AMD EPYC systemsMatt Fleming1-1/+1
SD_BALANCE_{FORK,EXEC} and SD_WAKE_AFFINE are stripped in sd_init() for any sched domains with a NUMA distance greater than 2 hops (RECLAIM_DISTANCE). The idea being that it's expensive to balance across domains that far apart. However, as is rather unfortunately explained in: commit 32e45ff43eaf ("mm: increase RECLAIM_DISTANCE to 30") the value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE is based on node distance tables from 2011-era hardware. Current AMD EPYC machines have the following NUMA node distances: node distances: node 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0: 10 16 16 16 32 32 32 32 1: 16 10 16 16 32 32 32 32 2: 16 16 10 16 32 32 32 32 3: 16 16 16 10 32 32 32 32 4: 32 32 32 32 10 16 16 16 5: 32 32 32 32 16 10 16 16 6: 32 32 32 32 16 16 10 16 7: 32 32 32 32 16 16 16 10 where 2 hops is 32. The result is that the scheduler fails to load balance properly across NUMA nodes on different sockets -- 2 hops apart. For example, pinning 16 busy threads to NUMA nodes 0 (CPUs 0-7) and 4 (CPUs 32-39) like so, $ numactl -C 0-7,32-39 ./spinner 16 causes all threads to fork and remain on node 0 until the active balancer kicks in after a few seconds and forcibly moves some threads to node 4.

2019-06-13coredump: fix race condition between collapse_huge_page() and core dumpingAndrea Arcangeli1-0/+3
When fixing the race conditions between the coredump and the mmap_sem holders outside the context of the process, we focused on mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() callers in 04f5866e41fb70 ("coredump: fix race condition between mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and core dumping"), but those aren't the only cases where the mmap_sem can be taken outside of the context of the process as Michal Hocko noticed while backporting that commit to older -stable kernels. If mmgrab() is called in the context of the process, but then the mm_count reference is transferred outside the context of the process, that can also be a problem if the mmap_sem has to be taken for writing through that mm_count reference. khugepaged registration calls mmgrab() in the context of the process, but the mmap_sem for writing is taken later in the context of the khugepaged kernel thread. collapse_huge_page() after taking the mmap_sem for writing doesn't modify any vma, so it's not obvious that it could cause a problem to the coredump, but it happens to modify the pmd in a way that breaks an invariant that pmd_trans_huge_lock() relies upon. collapse_huge_page() needs the mmap_sem for writing just to block concurrent page faults that call pmd_trans_huge_lock(). Specifically the invariant that "!pmd_trans_huge()" cannot become a "pmd_trans_huge()" doesn't hold while collapse_huge_page() runs. The coredump will call __get_user_pages() without mmap_sem for reading, which eventually can invoke a lockless page fault which will need a functional pmd_trans_huge_lock(). So collapse_huge_page() needs to use mmget_still_valid() to check it's not running concurrently with the coredump... as long as the coredump can invoke page faults without holding the mmap_sem for reading. This has "Fixes: khugepaged" to facilitate backporting, but in my view it's more a bug in the coredump code that will eventually have to be rewritten to stop invoking page faults without the mmap_sem for reading. So the long term plan is still to drop all mmget_still_valid().

2019-05-14mm/mmu_notifier: contextual information for event triggering invalidationJérôme Glisse1-1/+2
CPU page table update can happens for many reasons, not only as a result of a syscall (munmap(), mprotect(), mremap(), madvise(), ...) but also as a result of kernel activities (memory compression, reclaim, migration, ...). Users of mmu notifier API track changes to the CPU page table and take specific action for them. While current API only provide range of virtual address affected by the change, not why the changes is happening. This patchset do the initial mechanical convertion of all the places that calls mmu_notifier_range_init to also provide the default MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP event as well as the vma if it is know (most invalidation happens against a given vma). Passing down the vma allows the users of mmu notifier to inspect the new vma page protection. The MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP is always the safe default as users of mmu notifier should assume that every for the range is going away when that event happens. A latter patch do convert mm call path to use a more appropriate events for each call. This is done as 2 patches so that no call site is forgotten especialy as it uses this following coccinelle patch: %<---------------------------------------------------------------------- @@ identifier I1, I2, I3, I4; @@ static inline void mmu_notifier_range_init(struct mmu_notifier_range *I1, +enum mmu_notifier_event event, +unsigned flags, +struct vm_area_struct *vma, struct mm_struct *I2, unsigned long I3, unsigned long I4) { ... } @@ @@ -#define mmu_notifier_range_init(range, mm, start, end) +#define mmu_notifier_range_init(range, event, flags, vma, mm, start, end) @@ expression E1, E3, E4; identifier I1; @@ <... mmu_notifier_range_init(E1, +MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP, 0, I1, I1->vm_mm, E3, E4) ...> @@ expression E1, E2, E3, E4; identifier FN, VMA; @@ FN(..., struct vm_area_struct *VMA, ...) { <... mmu_notifier_range_init(E1, +MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP, 0, VMA, E2, E3, E4) ...> } @@ expression E1, E2, E3, E4; identifier FN, VMA; @@ FN(...) { struct vm_area_struct *VMA; <... mmu_notifier_range_init(E1, +MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP, 0, VMA, E2, E3, E4) ...> } @@ expression E1, E2, E3, E4; identifier FN; @@ FN(...) { <... mmu_notifier_range_init(E1, +MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP, 0, NULL, E2, E3, E4) ...> } ---------------------------------------------------------------------->% Applied with: spatch --all-includes --sp-file mmu-notifier.spatch fs/proc/task_mmu.c --in-place spatch --sp-file mmu-notifier.spatch --dir kernel/events/ --in-place spatch --sp-file mmu-notifier.spatch --dir mm --in-place Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190326164747.24405-6-jglisse@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jérôme Glisse <jglisse@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Ralph Campbell <rcampbell@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@intel.com> Cc: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Cc: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@linux.intel.com> Cc: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com> Cc: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com> Cc: Felix Kuehling <Felix.Kuehling@amd.com> Cc: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@mellanox.com> Cc: Ross Zwisler <zwisler@kernel.org> Cc: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Cc: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Cc: Radim Krcmar <rkrcmar@redhat.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Cc: Christian Koenig <christian.koenig@amd.com> Cc: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2019-03-05mm: memcontrol: expose THP events on a per-memcg basisChris Down1-0/+2
Currently THP allocation events data is fairly opaque, since you can only get it system-wide. This patch makes it easier to reason about transparent hugepage behaviour on a per-memcg basis. For anonymous THP-backed pages, we already have MEMCG_RSS_HUGE in v1, which is used for v1's rss_huge [sic]. This is reused here as it's fairly involved to untangle NR_ANON_THPS right now to make it per-memcg, since right now some of this is delegated to rmap before we have any memcg actually assigned to the page. It's a good idea to rework that, but let's leave untangling THP allocation for a future patch.

collapse_shmem()'s xas_nomem() is very unlikely to fail, but it is rightly given a failure path, so move the whole xas_create_range() block up before __SetPageLocked(new_page): so that it does not need to remember to unlock_page(new_page).

2018-11-30mm/khugepaged: collapse_shmem() without freezing new_pageHugh Dickins1-12/+7
khugepaged's collapse_shmem() does almost all of its work, to assemble the huge new_page from 512 scattered old pages, with the new_page's refcount frozen to 0 (and refcounts of all old pages so far also frozen to 0). Including shmem_getpage() to read in any which were out on swap, memory reclaim if necessary to allocate their intermediate pages, and copying over all the data from old to new. Imagine the frozen refcount as a spinlock held, but without any lock debugging to highlight the abuse: it's not good, and under serious load heads into lockups - speculative getters of the page are not expecting to spin while khugepaged is rescheduled. One can get a little further under load by hacking around elsewhere; but fortunately, freezing the new_page turns out to have been entirely unnecessary, with no hacks needed elsewhere. The huge new_page lock is already held throughout, and guards all its subpages as they are brought one by one into the page cache tree; and anything reading the data in that page, without the lock, before it has been marked PageUptodate, would already be in the wrong. So simply eliminate the freezing of the new_page. Each of the old pages remains frozen with refcount 0 after it has been replaced by a new_page subpage in the page cache tree, until they are all unfrozen on success or failure: just as before. They could be unfrozen sooner, but cause no problem once no longer visible to find_get_entry(), filemap_map_pages() and other speculative lookups.

2018-11-30mm/khugepaged: collapse_shmem() remember to clear holesHugh Dickins1-0/+10
Huge tmpfs testing reminds us that there is no __GFP_ZERO in the gfp flags khugepaged uses to allocate a huge page - in all common cases it would just be a waste of effort - so collapse_shmem() must remember to clear out any holes that it instantiates. The obvious place to do so, where they are put into the page cache tree, is not a good choice: because interrupts are disabled there. Leave it until further down, once success is assured, where the other pages are copied (before setting PageUptodate).

2018-11-30mm/khugepaged: fix crashes due to misaccounted holesHugh Dickins1-1/+4
Huge tmpfs testing on a shortish file mapped into a pmd-rounded extent hit shmem_evict_inode()'s WARN_ON(inode->i_blocks) followed by clear_inode()'s BUG_ON(inode->i_data.nrpages) when the file was later closed and unlinked. khugepaged's collapse_shmem() was forgetting to update mapping->nrpages on the rollback path, after it had added but then needs to undo some holes. There is indeed an irritating asymmetry between shmem_charge(), whose callers want it to increment nrpages after successfully accounting blocks, and shmem_uncharge(), when __delete_from_page_cache() already decremented nrpages itself: oh well, just add a comment on that to them both. And shmem_recalc_inode() is supposed to be called when the accounting is expected to be in balance (so it can deduce from imbalance that reclaim discarded some pages): so change shmem_charge() to update nrpages earlier (though it's rare for the difference to matter at all).
