2017-04-12dax: refactor dax-fs into a generic provider of 'struct dax_device' instancesDan Williams1-0/+3
We want dax capable drivers to be able to publish a set of dax operations [1]. However, we do not want to further abuse block_devices to advertise these operations. Instead we will attach these operations to a dax device and add a lookup mechanism to go from block device path to a dax device. A dax capable driver like pmem or brd is responsible for registering a dax device, alongside a block device, and then a dax capable filesystem is responsible for retrieving the dax device by path name if it wants to call dax_operations. For now, we refactor the dax pseudo-fs to be a generic facility, rather than an implementation detail, of the device-dax use case. Where a "dax device" is just an inode + dax infrastructure, and "Device DAX" is a mapping service layered on top of that base 'struct dax_device'. "Filesystem DAX" is then a mapping service that layers a filesystem on top of that same base device. Filesystem DAX is associated with a block_device for now, but perhaps directly to a dax device in the future, or for new pmem-only filesystems.

2017-02-24mm: replace FAULT_FLAG_SIZE with parameter to huge_faultDave Jiang1-1/+2
Since the introduction of FAULT_FLAG_SIZE to the vm_fault flag, it has been somewhat painful with getting the flags set and removed at the correct locations. More than one kernel oops was introduced due to difficulties of getting the placement correctly. Remove the flag values and introduce an input parameter to huge_fault that indicates the size of the page entry. This makes the code easier to trace and should avoid the issues we see with the fault flags where removal of the flag was necessary in the fallback paths.

2017-02-24mm,fs,dax: change ->pmd_fault to ->huge_faultDave Jiang1-6/+0
Patch series "1G transparent hugepage support for device dax", v2. The following series implements support for 1G trasparent hugepage on x86 for device dax. The bulk of the code was written by Mathew Wilcox a while back supporting transparent 1G hugepage for fs DAX. I have forward ported the relevant bits to 4.10-rc. The current submission has only the necessary code to support device DAX. Comments from Dan Williams: So the motivation and intended user of this functionality mirrors the motivation and users of 1GB page support in hugetlbfs. Given expected capacities of persistent memory devices an in-memory database may want to reduce tlb pressure beyond what they can already achieve with 2MB mappings of a device-dax file. We have customer feedback to that effect as Willy mentioned in his previous version of these patches [1]. [1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/31/52 Comments from Nilesh @ Oracle: There are applications which have a process model; and if you assume 10,000 processes attempting to mmap all the 6TB memory available on a server; we are looking at the following: processes : 10,000 memory : 6TB pte @ 4k page size: 8 bytes / 4K of memory * #processes = 6TB / 4k * 8 * 10000 = 1.5GB * 80000 = 120,000GB pmd @ 2M page size: 120,000 / 512 = ~240GB pud @ 1G page size: 240GB / 512 = ~480MB As you can see with 2M pages, this system will use up an exorbitant amount of DRAM to hold the page tables; but the 1G pages finally brings it down to a reasonable level. Memory sizes will keep increasing; so this number will keep increasing. An argument can be made to convert the applications from process model to thread model, but in the real world that may not be always practical. Hopefully this helps explain the use case where this is valuable. This patch (of 3): In preparation for adding the ability to handle PUD pages, convert vm_operations_struct.pmd_fault to vm_operations_struct.huge_fault. The vm_fault structure is extended to include a union of the different page table pointers that may be needed, and three flag bits are reserved to indicate which type of pointer is in the union.

2016-12-26mm: Invalidate DAX radix tree entries only if appropriateJan Kara1-0/+3
Currently invalidate_inode_pages2_range() and invalidate_mapping_pages() just delete all exceptional radix tree entries they find. For DAX this is not desirable as we track cache dirtiness in these entries and when they are evicted, we may not flush caches although it is necessary. This can for example manifest when we write to the same block both via mmap and via write(2) (to different offsets) and fsync(2) then does not properly flush CPU caches when modification via write(2) was the last one. Create appropriate DAX functions to handle invalidation of DAX entries for invalidate_inode_pages2_range() and invalidate_mapping_pages() and wire them up into the corresponding mm functions.

2016-11-08dax: add struct iomap based DAX PMD supportRoss Zwisler1-11/+44
DAX PMDs have been disabled since Jan Kara introduced DAX radix tree based locking. This patch allows DAX PMDs to participate in the DAX radix tree based locking scheme so that they can be re-enabled using the new struct iomap based fault handlers. There are currently three types of DAX 4k entries: 4k zero pages, 4k DAX mappings that have an associated block allocation, and 4k DAX empty entries. The empty entries exist to provide locking for the duration of a given page fault. This patch adds three equivalent 2MiB DAX entries: Huge Zero Page (HZP) entries, PMD DAX entries that have associated block allocations, and 2 MiB DAX empty entries. Unlike the 4k case where we insert a struct page* into the radix tree for 4k zero pages, for HZP we insert a DAX exceptional entry with the new RADIX_DAX_HZP flag set. This is because we use a single 2 MiB zero page in every 2MiB hole mapping, and it doesn't make sense to have that same struct page* with multiple entries in multiple trees. This would cause contention on the single page lock for the one Huge Zero Page, and it would break the page->index and page->mapping associations that are assumed to be valid in many other places in the kernel. One difficult use case is when one thread is trying to use 4k entries in radix tree for a given offset, and another thread is using 2 MiB entries for that same offset. The current code handles this by making the 2 MiB user fall back to 4k entries for most cases. This was done because it is the simplest solution, and because the use of 2MiB pages is already opportunistic. If we were to try to upgrade from 4k pages to 2MiB pages for a given range, we run into the problem of how we lock out 4k page faults for the entire 2MiB range while we clean out the radix tree so we can insert the 2MiB entry. We can solve this problem if we need to, but I think that the cases where both 2MiB entries and 4K entries are being used for the same range will be rare enough and the gain small enough that it probably won't be worth the complexity.

2016-11-08dax: coordinate locking for offsets in PMD rangeRoss Zwisler1-1/+1
DAX radix tree locking currently locks entries based on the unique combination of the 'mapping' pointer and the pgoff_t 'index' for the entry. This works for PTEs, but as we move to PMDs we will need to have all the offsets within the range covered by the PMD to map to the same bit lock. To accomplish this, for ranges covered by a PMD entry we will instead lock based on the page offset of the beginning of the PMD entry. The 'mapping' pointer is still used in the same way.

However, the following commits: 5726b27b09cc ("ext2: Add locking for DAX faults") ea3d7209ca01 ("ext4: fix races between page faults and hole punching") added locking to the ext2 and ext4 filesystems after these common operations but before __dax_fault() and __dax_pmd_fault() were called. This means that these wrappers are no longer used, and are unlikely to be used in the future.

2016-05-19dax: Use radix tree entry lock to protect cow faultsJan Kara1-0/+7
When doing cow faults, we cannot directly fill in PTE as we do for other faults as we rely on generic code to do proper accounting of the cowed page. We also have no page to lock to protect against races with truncate as other faults have and we need the protection to extend until the moment generic code inserts cowed page into PTE thus at that point we have no protection of fs-specific i_mmap_sem. So far we relied on using i_mmap_lock for the protection however that is completely special to cow faults. To make fault locking more uniform use DAX entry lock instead.

Another problem with the current DAX page fault locking is that there is no race-free way to clear dirty tag in the radix tree. We can always end up with clean radix tree and dirty data in CPU cache. We fix the first problem by introducing locking of exceptional radix tree entries in DAX mappings acting very similarly to page lock and thus synchronizing properly faults against the same mapping index. The same lock can later be used to avoid races when clearing radix tree dirty tag.

2016-05-19dax: Make huge page handling depend of CONFIG_BROKENJan Kara1-1/+1
Currently the handling of huge pages for DAX is racy. For example the following can happen: CPU0 (THP write fault) CPU1 (normal read fault) __dax_pmd_fault() __dax_fault() get_block(inode, block, &bh, 0) -> not mapped get_block(inode, block, &bh, 0) -> not mapped if (!buffer_mapped(&bh) && write) get_block(inode, block, &bh, 1) -> allocates blocks truncate_pagecache_range(inode, lstart, lend); dax_load_hole(); This results in data corruption since process on CPU1 won't see changes into the file done by CPU0. The race can happen even if two normal faults race however with THP the situation is even worse because the two faults don't operate on the same entries in the radix tree and we want to use these entries for serialization. So make THP support in DAX code depend on CONFIG_BROKEN for now. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com>

2016-02-27dax: move writeback calls into the filesystemsRoss Zwisler1-2/+4
Previously calls to dax_writeback_mapping_range() for all DAX filesystems (ext2, ext4 & xfs) were centralized in filemap_write_and_wait_range(). dax_writeback_mapping_range() needs a struct block_device, and it used to get that from inode->i_sb->s_bdev. This is correct for normal inodes mounted on ext2, ext4 and XFS filesystems, but is incorrect for DAX raw block devices and for XFS real-time files. Instead, call dax_writeback_mapping_range() directly from the filesystem ->writepages function so that it can supply us with a valid block device. This also fixes DAX code to properly flush caches in response to sync(2).

2016-02-27dax: give DAX clearing code correct bdevRoss Zwisler1-1/+1
dax_clear_blocks() needs a valid struct block_device and previously it was using inode->i_sb->s_bdev in all cases. This is correct for normal inodes on mounted ext2, ext4 and XFS filesystems, but is incorrect for DAX raw block devices and for XFS real-time devices. Instead, rename dax_clear_blocks() to dax_clear_sectors(), and change its arguments to take a bdev and a sector instead of an inode and a block. This better reflects what the function does, and it allows the filesystem and raw block device code to pass in an appropriate struct block_device.

2016-01-22dax: add support for fsync/syncRoss Zwisler1-0/+2
To properly handle fsync/msync in an efficient way DAX needs to track dirty pages so it is able to flush them durably to media on demand. The tracking of dirty pages is done via the radix tree in struct address_space. This radix tree is already used by the page writeback infrastructure for tracking dirty pages associated with an open file, and it already has support for exceptional (non struct page*) entries. We build upon these features to add exceptional entries to the radix tree for DAX dirty PMD or PTE pages at fault time.

2016-01-22dax: support dirty DAX entries in radix treeRoss Zwisler1-0/+5
Add support for tracking dirty DAX entries in the struct address_space radix tree. This tree is already used for dirty page writeback, and it already supports the use of exceptional (non struct page*) entries. In order to properly track dirty DAX pages we will insert new exceptional entries into the radix tree that represent dirty DAX PTE or PMD pages. These exceptional entries will also contain the writeback addresses for the PTE or PMD faults that we can use at fsync/msync time. There are currently two types of exceptional entries (shmem and shadow) that can be placed into the radix tree, and this adds a third. We rely on the fact that only one type of exceptional entry can be found in a given radix tree based on its usage. This happens for free with DAX vs shmem but we explicitly prevent shadow entries from being added to radix trees for DAX mappings. The only shadow entries that would be generated for DAX radix trees would be to track zero page mappings that were created for holes. These pages would receive minimal benefit from having shadow entries, and the choice to have only one type of exceptional entry in a given radix tree makes the logic simpler both in clear_exceptional_entry() and in the rest of DAX.

In order to handle the !CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGES case, we need to return VM_FAULT_FALLBACK from the inlined dax_pmd_fault(), which is defined in linux/mm.h. Given that we don't want to include <linux/mm.h> in <linux/fs.h>, the easiest solution is to move the DAX-related functions to a new header, <linux/dax.h>. We could also have moved VM_FAULT_* definitions to a new header, or a different header that isn't quite such a boil-the-ocean header as <linux/mm.h>, but this felt like the best option.
