      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
      makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default all files without license information are under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
      SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.
      
      How this work was done:
      
      Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
      the use cases:
       - file had no licensing information it it.
       - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
       - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
      
      Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
      where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
      had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
      
      The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
      a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
      output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
      tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
      base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
      
      The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
      assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
      results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
      to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
      immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
       - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
       - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
         lines of source
       - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
         lines).
      
      All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
      
      The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
      identifiers to apply.
      
       - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
         considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
         COPYING file license applied.
      
         For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0                                              11139
      
         and resulted in the first patch in this series.
      
         If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
         Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930
      
         and resulted in the second patch in this series.
      
       - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
         of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
         any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
         it (per prior point).  Results summary:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
         GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
         LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
         GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
         ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
         LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
         LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1
      
         and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
      
       - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
         the concluded license(s).
      
       - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
         license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
         licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
      
       - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
         resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
         which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
      
       - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
         confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
       - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
         the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
         in time.
      
      In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
      spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
      source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
      by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
      FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
      disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
      Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
      they are related.
      
      Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
      for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
      files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
      in about 15000 files.
      
      In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
      copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
      correct identifier.
      
      Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
      inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
      version early this week with:
       - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
         license ids and scores
       - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
         files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
       - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
         was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
         SPDX license was correct
      
      This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
      worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
      different types of files to be modified.
      
      These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
      parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
      format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
      based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
      distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
      comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
      generate the patches.

      mm: test code to write THP to swap device as a whole · 225311a4
      Huang Ying 提交于
      To support delay splitting THP (Transparent Huge Page) after swapped
      out, we need to enhance swap writing code to support to write a THP as a
      whole.  This will improve swap write IO performance.
      
      As Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> pointed out, this should be based on
      multipage bvec support, which hasn't been merged yet.  So this patch is
      only for testing the functionality of the other patches in the series.
      And will be reimplemented after multipage bvec support is merged.

      mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out · 38d8b4e6
      Huang Ying 提交于
      Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.
      
      This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
      (THP) swap.
      
      Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
      we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
      page swap out even on a high-end server machine.  Because the
      performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
      logical CPU.  And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
      future.  On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
      because of increased memory size.  So it becomes necessary to optimize
      THP swap performance.
      
      The advantages of the THP swap support include:
      
       - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
         acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
         adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
         space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
      
       - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
         particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
         IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
      
       - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
         heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
         free up after THP swapping out.
      
       - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
         turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
         pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
         swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
         collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
         utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
         too.
      
      There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
      enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
      the storage device.  To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
      on only when necessary.  For example, it can be selected via
      "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
      globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
      
      This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support.  The plan is
      to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
      the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.
      
      As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
      from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
      space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache.  This will
      reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
      management.
      
      With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
      3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
      with 8 processes.  The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system.  The swap
      device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device.  To test
      the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
      sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
      part of the swap device is used up.
      
      This patch (of 5):
      
      In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
      of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
      (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache.  This
      will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
      throughput.
      
      This is the first step for the THP swap optimization.  The plan is to
      delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
      finally.
      
      In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
      swapped out.  So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
      THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512).  For other
      architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
      ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
      the architecture.  In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
      times on x86_64.  Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
      the swap space becomes fragmented.  So that, this may reduce the
      continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory.  The
      performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
      
      In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
      out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
      swap_cluster_info data structure.
      
      The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
      or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
      
      The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
      swap cluster for a THP.  A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
      cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
      will be tried to allocate the swap cluster.  The function will fail if
      the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
      single swap slot instead.  This works good enough for normal cases.  If
      the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
      swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
      earlier than necessary.  For example, this could be caused by big size
      difference among multiple swap devices.
      
      The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
      the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages.  This may be
      enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree.  But because we will
      split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
      much sense for this first step.
      
      The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
      cache during swapping out.  The page lock will be held during allocating
      the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
      THP.  So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
      split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
      
      The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
      in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

      mm: optimize PageWaiters bit use for unlock_page() · b91e1302
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      In commit 62906027 ("mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are
      waiting for a page bit") Nick Piggin made our page locking no longer
      unconditionally touch the hashed page waitqueue, which not only helps
      performance in general, but is particularly helpful on NUMA machines
      where the hashed wait queues can bounce around a lot.
      
      However, the "clear lock bit atomically and then test the waiters bit"
      sequence turns out to be much more expensive than it needs to be,
      because you get a nasty stall when trying to access the same word that
      just got updated atomically.
      
      On architectures where locking is done with LL/SC, this would be trivial
      to fix with a new primitive that clears one bit and tests another
      atomically, but that ends up not working on x86, where the only atomic
      operations that return the result end up being cmpxchg and xadd.  The
      atomic bit operations return the old value of the same bit we changed,
      not the value of an unrelated bit.
      
      On x86, we could put the lock bit in the high bit of the byte, and use
      "xadd" with that bit (where the overflow ends up not touching other
      bits), and look at the other bits of the result.  However, an even
      simpler model is to just use a regular atomic "and" to clear the lock
      bit, and then the sign bit in eflags will indicate the resulting state
      of the unrelated bit #7.
      
      So by moving the PageWaiters bit up to bit #7, we can atomically clear
      the lock bit and test the waiters bit on x86 too.  And architectures
      with LL/SC (which is all the usual RISC suspects), the particular bit
      doesn't matter, so they are fine with this approach too.
      
      This avoids the extra access to the same atomic word, and thus avoids
      the costly stall at page unlock time.
      
      The only downside is that the interface ends up being a bit odd and
      specialized: clear a bit in a byte, and test the sign bit.  Nick doesn't
      love the resulting name of the new primitive, but I'd rather make the
      name be descriptive and very clear about the limitation imposed by
      trying to work across all relevant architectures than make it be some
      generic thing that doesn't make the odd semantics explicit.
      
      So this introduces the new architecture primitive
      
          clear_bit_unlock_is_negative_byte();
      
      and adds the trivial implementation for x86.  We have a generic
      non-optimized fallback (that just does a "clear_bit()"+"test_bit(7)"
      combination) which can be overridden by any architecture that can do
      better.  According to Nick, Power has the same hickup x86 has, for
      example, but some other architectures may not even care.
      
      All these optimizations mean that my page locking stress-test (which is
      just executing a lot of small short-lived shell scripts: "make test" in
      the git source tree) no longer makes our page locking look horribly bad.
      Before all these optimizations, just the unlock_page() costs were just
      over 3% of all CPU overhead on "make test".  After this, it's down to
      0.66%, so just a quarter of the cost it used to be.
      
      (The difference on NUMA is bigger, but there this micro-optimization is
      likely less noticeable, since the big issue on NUMA was not the accesses
      to 'struct page', but the waitqueue accesses that were already removed
      by Nick's earlier commit).

      mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bit · 62906027
      Nicholas Piggin 提交于
      Add a new page flag, PageWaiters, to indicate the page waitqueue has
      tasks waiting. This can be tested rather than testing waitqueue_active
      which requires another cacheline load.
      
      This bit is always set when the page has tasks on page_waitqueue(page),
      and is set and cleared under the waitqueue lock. It may be set when
      there are no tasks on the waitqueue, which will cause a harmless extra
      wakeup check that will clears the bit.
      
      The generic bit-waitqueue infrastructure is no longer used for pages.
      Instead, waitqueues are used directly with a custom key type. The
      generic code was not flexible enough to have PageWaiters manipulation
      under the waitqueue lock (which simplifies concurrency).
      
      This improves the performance of page lock intensive microbenchmarks by
      2-3%.
      
      Putting two bits in the same word opens the opportunity to remove the
      memory barrier between clearing the lock bit and testing the waiters
      bit, after some work on the arch primitives (e.g., ensuring memory
      operand widths match and cover both bits).

      thp, mlock: do not mlock PTE-mapped file huge pages · 9a73f61b
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      As with anon THP, we only mlock file huge pages if we can prove that the
      page is not mapped with PTE.  This way we can avoid mlock leak into
      non-mlocked vma on split.
      
      We rely on PageDoubleMap() under lock_page() to check if the the page
      may be PTE mapped.  PG_double_map is set by page_add_file_rmap() when
      the page mapped with PTEs.

      mm: charge/uncharge kmemcg from generic page allocator paths · 4949148a
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      Currently, to charge a non-slab allocation to kmemcg one has to use
      alloc_kmem_pages helper with __GFP_ACCOUNT flag.  A page allocated with
      this helper should finally be freed using free_kmem_pages, otherwise it
      won't be uncharged.
      
      This API suits its current users fine, but it turns out to be impossible
      to use along with page reference counting, i.e.  when an allocation is
      supposed to be freed with put_page, as it is the case with pipe or unix
      socket buffers.
      
      To overcome this limitation, this patch moves charging/uncharging to
      generic page allocator paths, i.e.  to __alloc_pages_nodemask and
      free_pages_prepare, and zaps alloc/free_kmem_pages helpers.  This way,
      one can use any of the available page allocation functions to get the
      allocated page charged to kmemcg - it's enough to pass __GFP_ACCOUNT,
      just like in case of kmalloc and friends.  A charged page will be
      automatically uncharged on free.
      
      To make it possible, we need to mark pages charged to kmemcg somehow.
      To avoid introducing a new page flag, we make use of page->_mapcount for
      marking such pages.  Since pages charged to kmemcg are not supposed to
      be mapped to userspace, it should work just fine.  There are other
      (ab)users of page->_mapcount - buddy and balloon pages - but we don't
      conflict with them.
      
      In case kmemcg is compiled out or not used at runtime, this patch
      introduces no overhead to generic page allocator paths.  If kmemcg is
      used, it will be plus one gfp flags check on alloc and plus one
      page->_mapcount check on free, which shouldn't hurt performance, because
      the data accessed are hot.

      mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page migration · bda807d4
      Minchan Kim 提交于
      We have allowed migration for only LRU pages until now and it was enough
      to make high-order pages.  But recently, embedded system(e.g., webOS,
      android) uses lots of non-movable pages(e.g., zram, GPU memory) so we
      have seen several reports about troubles of small high-order allocation.
      For fixing the problem, there were several efforts (e,g,.  enhance
      compaction algorithm, SLUB fallback to 0-order page, reserved memory,
      vmalloc and so on) but if there are lots of non-movable pages in system,
      their solutions are void in the long run.
      
      So, this patch is to support facility to change non-movable pages with
      movable.  For the feature, this patch introduces functions related to
      migration to address_space_operations as well as some page flags.
      
      If a driver want to make own pages movable, it should define three
      functions which are function pointers of struct
      address_space_operations.
      
      1. bool (*isolate_page) (struct page *page, isolate_mode_t mode);
      
      What VM expects on isolate_page function of driver is to return *true*
      if driver isolates page successfully.  On returing true, VM marks the
      page as PG_isolated so concurrent isolation in several CPUs skip the
      page for isolation.  If a driver cannot isolate the page, it should
      return *false*.
      
      Once page is successfully isolated, VM uses page.lru fields so driver
      shouldn't expect to preserve values in that fields.
      
      2. int (*migratepage) (struct address_space *mapping,
      		struct page *newpage, struct page *oldpage, enum migrate_mode);
      
      After isolation, VM calls migratepage of driver with isolated page.  The
      function of migratepage is to move content of the old page to new page
      and set up fields of struct page newpage.  Keep in mind that you should
      indicate to the VM the oldpage is no longer movable via
      __ClearPageMovable() under page_lock if you migrated the oldpage
      successfully and returns 0.  If driver cannot migrate the page at the
      moment, driver can return -EAGAIN.  On -EAGAIN, VM will retry page
      migration in a short time because VM interprets -EAGAIN as "temporal
      migration failure".  On returning any error except -EAGAIN, VM will give
      up the page migration without retrying in this time.
      
      Driver shouldn't touch page.lru field VM using in the functions.
      
      3. void (*putback_page)(struct page *);
      
      If migration fails on isolated page, VM should return the isolated page
      to the driver so VM calls driver's putback_page with migration failed
      page.  In this function, driver should put the isolated page back to the
      own data structure.
      
      4. non-lru movable page flags
      
      There are two page flags for supporting non-lru movable page.
      
      * PG_movable
      
      Driver should use the below function to make page movable under
      page_lock.
      
      	void __SetPageMovable(struct page *page, struct address_space *mapping)
      
      It needs argument of address_space for registering migration family
      functions which will be called by VM.  Exactly speaking, PG_movable is
      not a real flag of struct page.  Rather than, VM reuses page->mapping's
      lower bits to represent it.
      
      	#define PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE 0x2
      	page->mapping = page->mapping | PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE;
      
      so driver shouldn't access page->mapping directly.  Instead, driver
      should use page_mapping which mask off the low two bits of page->mapping
      so it can get right struct address_space.
      
      For testing of non-lru movable page, VM supports __PageMovable function.
      However, it doesn't guarantee to identify non-lru movable page because
      page->mapping field is unified with other variables in struct page.  As
      well, if driver releases the page after isolation by VM, page->mapping
      doesn't have stable value although it has PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE (Look at
      __ClearPageMovable).  But __PageMovable is cheap to catch whether page
      is LRU or non-lru movable once the page has been isolated.  Because LRU
      pages never can have PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE in page->mapping.  It is also
      good for just peeking to test non-lru movable pages before more
      expensive checking with lock_page in pfn scanning to select victim.
      
      For guaranteeing non-lru movable page, VM provides PageMovable function.
      Unlike __PageMovable, PageMovable functions validates page->mapping and
      mapping->a_ops->isolate_page under lock_page.  The lock_page prevents
      sudden destroying of page->mapping.
      
      Driver using __SetPageMovable should clear the flag via
      __ClearMovablePage under page_lock before the releasing the page.
      
      * PG_isolated
      
      To prevent concurrent isolation among several CPUs, VM marks isolated
      page as PG_isolated under lock_page.  So if a CPU encounters PG_isolated
      non-lru movable page, it can skip it.  Driver doesn't need to manipulate
      the flag because VM will set/clear it automatically.  Keep in mind that
      if driver sees PG_isolated page, it means the page have been isolated by
      VM so it shouldn't touch page.lru field.  PG_isolated is alias with
      PG_reclaim flag so driver shouldn't use the flag for own purpose.

      There is a sizable boost to the free allocator performance.  While there
      is an apparent boost on the allocation side, it's likely a co-incidence
      or due to the patches slightly reducing cache footprint.

      get_user_pages() no longer allows us to assume the entire compound page
      is immediately mappable from a secondary MMU.
      
      A secondary MMU doesn't want to call get_user_pages() more than once for
      each compound page, in order to know if it can map the whole compound
      page.  So a secondary MMU needs to know from a single get_user_pages()
      invocation when it can map immediately the entire compound page to avoid
      a flood of unnecessary secondary MMU faults and spurious
      atomic_inc()/atomic_dec() (pages don't have to be pinned by MMU notifier
      users).
      
      Ideally instead of the page->_mapcount < 1 check, get_user_pages()
      should return the granularity of the "page" mapping in the "mm" passed
      to get_user_pages().  However it's non trivial change to pass the "pmd"
      status belonging to the "mm" walked by get_user_pages up the stack (up
      to the caller of get_user_pages).  So the fix just checks if there is
      not a single pte mapping on the page returned by get_user_pages, and in
      turn if the caller can assume that the whole compound page is mapped in
      the current "mm" (in a pmd_trans_huge()).  In such case the entire
      compound page is safe to map into the secondary MMU without additional
      get_user_pages() calls on the surrounding tail/head pages.  In addition
      of being faster, not having to run other get_user_pages() calls also
      reduces the memory footprint of the secondary MMU fault in case the pmd
      split happened as result of memory pressure.
      
      Without this fix after a MADV_DONTNEED (like invoked by QEMU during
      postcopy live migration or balloning) or after generic swapping (with a
      failure in split_huge_page() that would only result in pmd splitting and
      not a physical page split), KVM would map the whole compound page into
      the shadow pagetables, despite regular faults or userfaults (like
      UFFDIO_COPY) may map regular pages into the primary MMU as result of the
      pte faults, leading to the guest mode and userland mode going out of
      sync and not working on the same memory at all times.
      
      Any other secondary MMU notifier manager (KVM is just one of the many
      MMU notifier users) will need the same information if it doesn't want to
      run a flood of get_user_pages_fast and it can support multiple
      granularity in the secondary MMU mappings, so I think it is justified to
      be exposed not just to KVM.
      
      The other option would be to move transparent_hugepage_adjust to
      mm/huge_memory.c but that currently has all kind of KVM data structures
      in it, so it's definitely not a cut-and-paste work, so I couldn't do a
      fix as cleaner as this one for 4.6.

      mm: rework mapcount accounting to enable 4k mapping of THPs · 53f9263b
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      We're going to allow mapping of individual 4k pages of THP compound.  It
      means we need to track mapcount on per small page basis.
      
      Straight-forward approach is to use ->_mapcount in all subpages to track
      how many time this subpage is mapped with PMDs or PTEs combined.  But
      this is rather expensive: mapping or unmapping of a THP page with PMD
      would require HPAGE_PMD_NR atomic operations instead of single we have
      now.
      
      The idea is to store separately how many times the page was mapped as
      whole -- compound_mapcount.  This frees up ->_mapcount in subpages to
      track PTE mapcount.
      
      We use the same approach as with compound page destructor and compound
      order to store compound_mapcount: use space in first tail page,
      ->mapping this time.
      
      Any time we map/unmap whole compound page (THP or hugetlb) -- we
      increment/decrement compound_mapcount.  When we map part of compound
      page with PTE we operate on ->_mapcount of the subpage.
      
      page_mapcount() counts both: PTE and PMD mappings of the page.
      
      Basically, we have mapcount for a subpage spread over two counters.  It
      makes tricky to detect when last mapcount for a page goes away.
      
      We introduced PageDoubleMap() for this.  When we split THP PMD for the
      first time and there's other PMD mapping left we offset up ->_mapcount
      in all subpages by one and set PG_double_map on the compound page.
      These additional references go away with last compound_mapcount.
      
      This approach provides a way to detect when last mapcount goes away on
      per small page basis without introducing new overhead for most common
      cases.

      page-flags: define behavior of FS/IO-related flags on compound pages · df8c94d1
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      It seems we don't have compound page on FS/IO path currently.  Use
      PF_NO_COMPOUND to catch if we have.
      
      The odd exception is PG_dirty: sound uses compound pages and maps them
      with PTEs.  PF_NO_COMPOUND triggers VM_BUG_ON() in set_page_dirty() on
      handling shared fault.  Let's use PF_HEAD for PG_dirty.

      page-flags: define PG_locked behavior on compound pages · 48c935ad
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      lock_page() must operate on the whole compound page.  It doesn't make
      much sense to lock part of compound page.  Change code to use head
      page's PG_locked, if tail page is passed.
      
      This patch also gets rid of custom helper functions --
      __set_page_locked() and __clear_page_locked().  They are replaced with
      helpers generated by __SETPAGEFLAG/__CLEARPAGEFLAG.  Tail pages to these
      helper would trigger VM_BUG_ON().
      
      SLUB uses PG_locked as a bit spin locked.  IIUC, tail pages should never
      appear there.  VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure that this assumption is
      correct.

      page-flags: introduce page flags policies wrt compound pages · 95ad9755
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      This patch adds a third argument to macros which create function
      definitions for page flags.  This argument defines how page-flags
      helpers behave on compound functions.
      
      For now we define four policies:
      
       - PF_ANY: the helper function operates on the page it gets, regardless
         if it's non-compound, head or tail.
      
       - PF_HEAD: the helper function operates on the head page of the
         compound page if it gets tail page.
      
       - PF_NO_TAIL: only head and non-compond pages are acceptable for this
         helper function.
      
       - PF_NO_COMPOUND: only non-compound pages are acceptable for this
         helper function.
      
      For now we use policy PF_ANY for all helpers, which matches current
      behaviour.
      
      We do not enforce the policy for TESTPAGEFLAG, because we have flags
      checked for random pages all over the kernel.  Noticeable exception to
      this is PageTransHuge() which triggers VM_BUG_ON() for tail page.

      page-flags: move code around · 0e6d31a7
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      The preparation patch: we are going to use compound_head(), PageTail()
      and PageCompound() to define page-flags helpers.
      
      Let's define them before macros.
      
      We cannot user PageHead() helper in PageCompound() as it's not yet
      defined -- use test_bit(PG_head, &page->flags) instead.

      mm: make compound_head() robust · 1d798ca3
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      Hugh has pointed that compound_head() call can be unsafe in some
      context. There's one example:
      
      	CPU0					CPU1
      
      isolate_migratepages_block()
        page_count()
          compound_head()
            !!PageTail() == true
      					put_page()
      					  tail->first_page = NULL
            head = tail->first_page
      					alloc_pages(__GFP_COMP)
      					   prep_compound_page()
      					     tail->first_page = head
      					     __SetPageTail(p);
            !!PageTail() == true
          <head == NULL dereferencing>
      
      The race is pure theoretical. I don't it's possible to trigger it in
      practice. But who knows.
      
      We can fix the race by changing how encode PageTail() and compound_head()
      within struct page to be able to update them in one shot.
      
      The patch introduces page->compound_head into third double word block in
      front of compound_dtor and compound_order. Bit 0 encodes PageTail() and
      the rest bits are pointer to head page if bit zero is set.
      
      The patch moves page->pmd_huge_pte out of word, just in case if an
      architecture defines pgtable_t into something what can have the bit 0
      set.
      
      hugetlb_cgroup uses page->lru.next in the second tail page to store
      pointer struct hugetlb_cgroup. The patch switch it to use page->private
      in the second tail page instead. The space is free since ->first_page is
      removed from the union.
      
      The patch also opens possibility to remove HUGETLB_CGROUP_MIN_ORDER
      limitation, since there's now space in first tail page to store struct
      hugetlb_cgroup pointer. But that's out of scope of the patch.
      
      That means page->compound_head shares storage space with:
      
       - page->lru.next;
       - page->next;
       - page->rcu_head.next;
      
      That's too long list to be absolutely sure, but looks like nobody uses
      bit 0 of the word.
      
      page->rcu_head.next guaranteed[1] to have bit 0 clean as long as we use
      call_rcu(), call_rcu_bh(), call_rcu_sched(), or call_srcu(). But future
      call_rcu_lazy() is not allowed as it makes use of the bit and we can
      get false positive PageTail().
