      mm: optimize PageWaiters bit use for unlock_page() · b91e1302
      由 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).

      crypto: testmgr - Use heap buffer for acomp test input · 02608e02
      由 Laura Abbott 提交于 
      Christopher Covington reported a crash on aarch64 on recent Fedora

The test vectors used for input are part of the kernel image. These
inputs are passed as a buffer to sg_init_one which eventually blows up
with BUG_ON(!virt_addr_valid(buf)). On arm64, virt_addr_valid returns
false for the kernel image since virt_to_page will not return the
correct page. Fix this by copying the input vectors to heap buffer
before setting up the scatterlist.

      ext4: Simplify DAX fault path · 1db17542
      由 Jan Kara 提交于 
      Now that dax_iomap_fault() calls ->iomap_begin() without entry lock, we
can use transaction starting in ext4_iomap_begin() and thus simplify
ext4_dax_fault(). It also provides us proper retries in case of ENOSPC.

      dax: Call ->iomap_begin without entry lock during dax fault · 9f141d6e
      由 Jan Kara 提交于 
      Currently ->iomap_begin() handler is called with entry lock held. If the
filesystem held any locks between ->iomap_begin() and ->iomap_end()
(such as ext4 which will want to hold transaction open), this would cause
lock inversion with the iomap_apply() from standard IO path which first
calls ->iomap_begin() and only then calls ->actor() callback which grabs
entry locks for DAX (if it faults when copying from/to user provided
buffers).

Fix the problem by nesting grabbing of entry lock inside ->iomap_begin()
- ->iomap_end() pair.

      dax: Finish fault completely when loading holes · f449b936
      由 Jan Kara 提交于 
      The only case when we do not finish the page fault completely is when we
are loading hole pages into a radix tree. Avoid this special case and
finish the fault in that case as well inside the DAX fault handler. It
will allow us for easier iomap handling.

      dax: Avoid page invalidation races and unnecessary radix tree traversals · e3fce68c
      由 Jan Kara 提交于 
      Currently dax_iomap_rw() takes care of invalidating page tables and
evicting hole pages from the radix tree when write(2) to the file
happens. This invalidation is only necessary when there is some block
allocation resulting from write(2). Furthermore in current place the
invalidation is racy wrt page fault instantiating a hole page just after
we have invalidated it.

So perform the page invalidation inside dax_iomap_actor() where we can
do it only when really necessary and after blocks have been allocated so
nobody will be instantiating new hole pages anymore.
