      thp: add tlb_remove_pmd_tlb_entry · f21760b1
      Shaohua Li 提交于
      We have tlb_remove_tlb_entry to indicate a pte tlb flush entry should be
      flushed, but not a corresponding API for pmd entry.  This isn't a
      problem so far because THP is only for x86 currently and tlb_flush()
      under x86 will flush entire TLB.  But this is confusion and could be
      missed if thp is ported to other arch.
      
      Also convert tlb->need_flush = 1 to a VM_BUG_ON(!tlb->need_flush) in
      __tlb_remove_page() as suggested by Andrea Arcangeli.  The
      __tlb_remove_page() function is supposed to be called after
      tlb_remove_xxx_tlb_entry() and we can catch any misuse.

      mm: mmu_gather rework · d16dfc55
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Rework the existing mmu_gather infrastructure.
      
      The direct purpose of these patches was to allow preemptible mmu_gather,
      but even without that I think these patches provide an improvement to the
      status quo.
      
      The first 9 patches rework the mmu_gather infrastructure.  For review
      purpose I've split them into generic and per-arch patches with the last of
      those a generic cleanup.
      
      The next patch provides generic RCU page-table freeing, and the followup
      is a patch converting s390 to use this.  I've also got 4 patches from
      DaveM lined up (not included in this series) that uses this to implement
      gup_fast() for sparc64.
      
      Then there is one patch that extends the generic mmu_gather batching.
      
      After that follow the mm preemptibility patches, these make part of the mm
      a lot more preemptible.  It converts i_mmap_lock and anon_vma->lock to
      mutexes which together with the mmu_gather rework makes mmu_gather
      preemptible as well.
      
      Making i_mmap_lock a mutex also enables a clean-up of the truncate code.
      
      This also allows for preemptible mmu_notifiers, something that XPMEM I
      think wants.
      
      Furthermore, it removes the new and universially detested unmap_mutex.
      
      This patch:
      
      Remove the first obstacle towards a fully preemptible mmu_gather.
      
      The current scheme assumes mmu_gather is always done with preemption
      disabled and uses per-cpu storage for the page batches.  Change this to
      try and allocate a page for batching and in case of failure, use a small
      on-stack array to make some progress.
      
      Preemptible mmu_gather is desired in general and usable once i_mmap_lock
      becomes a mutex.  Doing it before the mutex conversion saves us from
      having to rework the code by moving the mmu_gather bits inside the
      pte_lock.
      
      Also avoid flushing the tlb batches from under the pte lock, this is
      useful even without the i_mmap_lock conversion as it significantly reduces
      pte lock hold times.

      mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb() · 9e1b32ca
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()
      
      Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture
      will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when
      freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works.
      
      Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole
      virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE
      page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry
      RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct
      entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted,
      we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions.
      
      The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks
      too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and
      almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the
      argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.

      [PATCH] mm: tlb_finish_mmu forget rss · fc2acab3
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      zap_pte_range has been counting the pages it frees in tlb->freed, then
      tlb_finish_mmu has used that to update the mm's rss.  That got stranger when I
      added anon_rss, yet updated it by a different route; and stranger when rss and
      anon_rss became mm_counters with special access macros.  And it would no
      longer be viable if we're relying on page_table_lock to stabilize the
      mm_counter, but calling tlb_finish_mmu outside that lock.
      
      Remove the mmu_gather's freed field, let tlb_finish_mmu stick to its own
      business, just decrement the rss mm_counter in zap_pte_range (yes, there was
      some point to batching the update, and a subsequent patch restores that).  And
      forget the anal paranoia of first reading the counter to avoid going negative
      - if rss does go negative, just fix that bug.
      
      Remove the mmu_gather's flushes and avoided_flushes from arm and arm26: no use
      was being made of them.  But arm26 alone was actually using the freed, in the
      way some others use need_flush: give it a need_flush.  arm26 seems to prefer
      spaces to tabs here: respect that.

      [PATCH] mm: tlb_is_full_mm was obscure · 4d6ddfa9
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      tlb_is_full_mm?  What does that mean?  The TLB is full?  No, it means that the
      mm's last user has gone and the whole mm is being torn down.  And it's an
      inline function because sparc64 uses a different (slightly better)
      "tlb_frozen" name for the flag others call "fullmm".
      
      And now the ptep_get_and_clear_full macro used in zap_pte_range refers
      directly to tlb->fullmm, which would be wrong for sparc64.  Rather than
      correct that, I'd prefer to scrap tlb_is_full_mm altogether, and change
      sparc64 to just use the same poor name as everyone else - is that okay?

      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      tlb_gather_mmu dates from before kernel preemption was allowed, and uses
      smp_processor_id or __get_cpu_var to find its per-cpu mmu_gather.  That works
      because it's currently only called after getting page_table_lock, which is not
      dropped until after the matching tlb_finish_mmu.  But don't rely on that, it
      will soon change: now disable preemption internally by proper get_cpu_var in
      tlb_gather_mmu, put_cpu_var in tlb_finish_mmu.

      [PATCH] x86-64: Increase TLB flush array size · 2b4a0815
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      The generic TLB flush functions kept upto 506 pages per
      CPU to avoid too frequent IPIs.
      
      This value was done for the L1 cache of older x86 CPUs,
      but with modern CPUs it does not make much sense anymore.
      TLB flushing is slow enough that using the L2 cache is fine.
      
      This patch increases the flush array on x86-64 to cache
      5350 pages. That is roughly 20MB with 4K pages. It speeds
      up large munmaps in multithreaded processes on SMP considerably.
      
      The cost is roughly 42k of memory per CPU, which is reasonable.
      
      I only increased it on x86-64 for now, but it would probably
      make sense to increase it everywhere. Embedded architectures
      with SMP may keep it smaller to save some memory per CPU.
