      mm,hwpoison: rework soft offline for in-use pages · 40b69d16

commit 79f5f8fa
category: bugfix
bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4LE22
CVE: NA

--------------------------------

keep set_hwpoison_free_buddy_page exported to avoid kapi change.

This patch changes the way we set and handle in-use poisoned pages.  Until
now, poisoned pages were released to the buddy allocator, trusting that
the checks that take place at allocation time would act as a safe net
and would skip that page.

This has proved to be wrong, as we got some pfn walkers out there, like
compaction, that all they care is the page to be in a buddy freelist.

Although this might not be the only user, having poisoned pages in the
buddy allocator seems a bad idea as we should only have free pages that
are ready and meant to be used as such.

Before explaining the taken approach, let us break down the kind of pages
we can soft offline.

- Anonymous THP (after the split, they end up being 4K pages)
- Hugetlb
- Order-0 pages (that can be either migrated or invalited)

* Normal pages (order-0 and anon-THP)

  - If they are clean and unmapped page cache pages, we invalidate
    then by means of invalidate_inode_page().
  - If they are mapped/dirty, we do the isolate-and-migrate dance.

Either way, do not call put_page directly from those paths.
Instead, we keep the page and send it to page_handle_poison to perform the
right handling.

page_handle_poison sets the HWPoison flag and does the last put_page.

Down the chain, we placed a check for HWPoison page in
free_pages_prepare, that just skips any poisoned page, so those pages
do not end up in any pcplist/freelist.

After that, we set the refcount on the page to 1 and we increment
the poisoned pages counter.

If we see that the check in free_pages_prepare creates trouble, we can
always do what we do for free pages:

  - wait until the page hits buddy's freelists
  - take it off, and flag it

The downside of the above approach is that we could race with an
allocation, so by the time we  want to take the page off the buddy, the
page has been already allocated so we cannot soft offline it.
But the user could always retry it.

* Hugetlb pages

  - We isolate-and-migrate them

After the migration has been successful, we call dissolve_free_huge_page,
and we set HWPoison on the page if we succeed.
Hugetlb has a slightly different handling though.

While for non-hugetlb pages we cared about closing the race with an
allocation, doing so for hugetlb pages requires quite some additional
and intrusive code (we would need to hook in free_huge_page and some other
places).
So I decided to not make the code overly complicated and just fail
normally if the page we allocated in the meantime.

We can always build on top of this.

As a bonus, because of the way we handle now in-use pages, we no longer
need the put-as-isolation-migratetype dance, that was guarding for poisoned
pages to end up in pcplists.

Counting reliable memory allocated by the reliable user tasks.

The policy of counting reliable memory usage is based on RSS statistics.
Anywhere with counter of mm need count reliable pages too. Reliable page
which is checked by page_reliable() need to update the reliable page
counter by calling reliable_page_counter().

Updating the reliable pages should be considered if the following logic is
added:
- add_mm_counter
- dec_mm_counter
- inc_mm_counter_fast
- dec_mm_counter_fast
- rss[mm_counter(page)]

      mm: thp: fix MADV_DONTNEED vs migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page race condition · edc3209f
      由 Andrea Arcangeli 提交于 
      [ Upstream commit d7c33934 ]

Patch series "migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page race conditions".

Aaron found a new instance of the THP MADV_DONTNEED race against
pmdp_clear_flush* variants, that was apparently left unfixed.

While looking into the race found by Aaron, I may have found two more
issues in migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page.

These race conditions would not cause kernel instability, but they'd
corrupt userland data or leave data non zero after MADV_DONTNEED.

I did only minor testing, and I don't expect to be able to reproduce this
(especially the lack of ->invalidate_range before migrate_page_copy,
requires the latest iommu hardware or infiniband to reproduce).  The last
patch is noop for x86 and it needs further review from maintainers of
archs that implement flush_cache_range() (not in CC yet).

To avoid confusion, it's not the first patch that introduces the bug fixed
in the second patch, even before removing the
pmdp_huge_clear_flush_notify, that _notify suffix was called after
migrate_page_copy already run.

This patch (of 3):

This is a corollary of ced10803 ("thp: fix MADV_DONTNEED vs.  numa
balancing race"), 58ceeb6b ("thp: fix MADV_DONTNEED vs.  MADV_FREE
race") and 5b7abeae ("thp: fix MADV_DONTNEED vs clear soft dirty
race).

When the above three fixes where posted Dave asked
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/929b3844-aec2-0111-fef7-8002f9d4e2b9@intel.com
but apparently this was missed.

The pmdp_clear_flush* in migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() was introduced
in a54a407f ("mm: Close races between THP migration and PMD numa
clearing").

The important part of such commit is only the part where the page lock is
not released until the first do_huge_pmd_numa_page() finished disarming
the pagenuma/protnone.

The addition of pmdp_clear_flush() wasn't beneficial to such commit and
there's no commentary about such an addition either.

I guess the pmdp_clear_flush() in such commit was added just in case for
safety, but it ended up introducing the MADV_DONTNEED race condition found
by Aaron.

At that point in time nobody thought of such kind of MADV_DONTNEED race
conditions yet (they were fixed later) so the code may have looked more
robust by adding the pmdp_clear_flush().

This specific race condition won't destabilize the kernel, but it can
confuse userland because after MADV_DONTNEED the memory won't be zeroed
out.

This also optimizes the code and removes a superfluous TLB flush.

      mm/migrate.c: add missing flush_dcache_page for non-mapped page migrate · fe62644d
      由 Lars Persson 提交于 
      commit d2b2c6dd227ba5b8a802858748ec9a780cb75b47 upstream.

Our MIPS 1004Kc SoCs were seeing random userspace crashes with SIGILL
and SIGSEGV that could not be traced back to a userspace code bug.  They
had all the magic signs of an I/D cache coherency issue.

Now recently we noticed that the /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory interface
was quite efficient at provoking this class of userspace crashes.

Studying the code in mm/migrate.c there is a distinction made between
migrating a page that is mapped at the instant of migration and one that
is not mapped.  Our problem turned out to be the non-mapped pages.

For the non-mapped page the code performs a copy of the page content and
all relevant meta-data of the page without doing the required D-cache
maintenance.  This leaves dirty data in the D-cache of the CPU and on
the 1004K cores this data is not visible to the I-cache.  A subsequent
page-fault that triggers a mapping of the page will happily serve the
process with potentially stale code.

What about ARM then, this bug should have seen greater exposure? Well
ARM became immune to this flaw back in 2010, see commit c0177800
("ARM: 6379/1: Assume new page cache pages have dirty D-cache").

My proposed fix moves the D-cache maintenance inside move_to_new_page to
make it common for both cases.

      hugetlbfs: fix races and page leaks during migration · 58d3ea0e
      由 Mike Kravetz 提交于 
      commit cb6acd01 upstream.

hugetlb pages should only be migrated if they are 'active'.  The
routines set/clear_page_huge_active() modify the active state of hugetlb
pages.

When a new hugetlb page is allocated at fault time, set_page_huge_active
is called before the page is locked.  Therefore, another thread could
race and migrate the page while it is being added to page table by the
fault code.  This race is somewhat hard to trigger, but can be seen by
strategically adding udelay to simulate worst case scheduling behavior.
Depending on 'how' the code races, various BUG()s could be triggered.

To address this issue, simply delay the set_page_huge_active call until
after the page is successfully added to the page table.

Hugetlb pages can also be leaked at migration time if the pages are
associated with a file in an explicitly mounted hugetlbfs filesystem.
For example, consider a two node system with 4GB worth of huge pages
available.  A program mmaps a 2G file in a hugetlbfs filesystem.  It
then migrates the pages associated with the file from one node to
another.  When the program exits, huge page counts are as follows:

  node0
  1024    free_hugepages
  1024    nr_hugepages

  node1
  0       free_hugepages
  1024    nr_hugepages

  Filesystem                         Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
  nodev                              4.0G  2.0G  2.0G  50% /var/opt/hugepool

That is as expected.  2G of huge pages are taken from the free_hugepages
counts, and 2G is the size of the file in the explicitly mounted
filesystem.  If the file is then removed, the counts become:

  node0
  1024    free_hugepages
  1024    nr_hugepages

  node1
  1024    free_hugepages
  1024    nr_hugepages

  Filesystem                         Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
  nodev                              4.0G  2.0G  2.0G  50% /var/opt/hugepool

Note that the filesystem still shows 2G of pages used, while there
actually are no huge pages in use.  The only way to 'fix' the filesystem
accounting is to unmount the filesystem

If a hugetlb page is associated with an explicitly mounted filesystem,
this information in contained in the page_private field.  At migration
time, this information is not preserved.  To fix, simply transfer
page_private from old to new page at migration time if necessary.

There is a related race with removing a huge page from a file and
migration.  When a huge page is removed from the pagecache, the
page_mapping() field is cleared, yet page_private remains set until the
page is actually freed by free_huge_page().  A page could be migrated
while in this state.  However, since page_mapping() is not set the
hugetlbfs specific routine to transfer page_private is not called and we
leak the page count in the filesystem.

To fix that, check for this condition before migrating a huge page.  If
the condition is detected, return EBUSY for the page.

      mm: migrate: don't rely on __PageMovable() of newpage after unlocking it · 88d01940
      由 David Hildenbrand 提交于 
      commit e0a352fa upstream.

We had a race in the old balloon compaction code before b1123ea6
("mm: balloon: use general non-lru movable page feature") refactored it
that became visible after backporting 195a8c43 ("virtio-balloon:
deflate via a page list") without the refactoring.

The bug existed from commit d6d86c0a ("mm/balloon_compaction:
redesign ballooned pages management") till b1123ea6 ("mm: balloon:
use general non-lru movable page feature").  d6d86c0a
("mm/balloon_compaction: redesign ballooned pages management") was
backported to 3.12, so the broken kernels are stable kernels [3.12 -
4.7].

There was a subtle race between dropping the page lock of the newpage in
__unmap_and_move() and checking for __is_movable_balloon_page(newpage).

Just after dropping this page lock, virtio-balloon could go ahead and
deflate the newpage, effectively dequeueing it and clearing PageBalloon,
in turn making __is_movable_balloon_page(newpage) fail.

This resulted in dropping the reference of the newpage via
putback_lru_page(newpage) instead of put_page(newpage), leading to
page->lru getting modified and a !LRU page ending up in the LRU lists.
With 195a8c43 ("virtio-balloon: deflate via a page list")
backported, one would suddenly get corrupted lists in
release_pages_balloon():

- WARNING: CPU: 13 PID: 6586 at lib/list_debug.c:59 __list_del_entry+0xa1/0xd0
- list_del corruption. prev->next should be ffffe253961090a0, but was dead000000000100

Nowadays this race is no longer possible, but it is hidden behind very
ugly handling of __ClearPageMovable() and __PageMovable().

__ClearPageMovable() will not make __PageMovable() fail, only
PageMovable().  So the new check (__PageMovable(newpage)) will still
hold even after newpage was dequeued by virtio-balloon.

If anybody would ever change that special handling, the BUG would be
introduced again.  So instead, make it explicit and use the information
of the original isolated page before migration.

This patch can be backported fairly easy to stable kernels (in contrast
to the refactoring).

      mm, sched/numa: Remove rate-limiting of automatic NUMA balancing migration · efaffc5e
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      Rate limiting of page migrations due to automatic NUMA balancing was
introduced to mitigate the worst-case scenario of migrating at high
frequency due to false sharing or slowly ping-ponging between nodes.
Since then, a lot of effort was spent on correctly identifying these
pages and avoiding unnecessary migrations and the safety net may no longer
be required.

Jirka Hladky reported a regression in 4.17 due to a scheduler patch that
avoids spreading STREAM tasks wide prematurely. However, once the task
was properly placed, it delayed migrating the memory due to rate limiting.
Increasing the limit fixed the problem for him.

Currently, the limit is hard-coded and does not account for the real
capabilities of the hardware. Even if an estimate was attempted, it would
not properly account for the number of memory controllers and it could
not account for the amount of bandwidth used for normal accesses. Rather
than fudging, this patch simply eliminates the rate limiting.

However, Jirka reports that a STREAM configuration using multiple
processes achieved similar performance to 4.16. In local tests, this patch
improved performance of STREAM relative to the baseline but it is somewhat
machine-dependent. Most workloads show little or not performance difference
implying that there is not a heavily reliance on the throttling mechanism
and it is safe to remove.

Avoiding stretching of window intervals may be the reason for the

      mm: soft-offline: close the race against page allocation · d4ae9916
      由 Naoya Horiguchi 提交于 
      A process can be killed with SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AR) when it tries to
allocate a page that was just freed on the way of soft-offline.  This is
undesirable because soft-offline (which is about corrected error) is
less aggressive than hard-offline (which is about uncorrected error),
and we can make soft-offline fail and keep using the page for good
reason like "system is busy."

Two main changes of this patch are:

- setting migrate type of the target page to MIGRATE_ISOLATE. As done
  in free_unref_page_commit(), this makes kernel bypass pcplist when
  freeing the page. So we can assume that the page is in freelist just
  after put_page() returns,

- setting PG_hwpoison on free page under zone->lock which protects
  freelists, so this allows us to avoid setting PG_hwpoison on a page
  that is decided to be allocated soon.

      mm: fix race on soft-offlining free huge pages · 6bc9b564
      由 Naoya Horiguchi 提交于 
      Patch series "mm: soft-offline: fix race against page allocation".

Xishi recently reported the issue about race on reusing the target pages
of soft offlining.  Discussion and analysis showed that we need make
sure that setting PG_hwpoison should be done in the right place under
zone->lock for soft offline.  1/2 handles free hugepage's case, and 2/2
hanldes free buddy page's case.

This patch (of 2):

There's a race condition between soft offline and hugetlb_fault which
causes unexpected process killing and/or hugetlb allocation failure.

The process killing is caused by the following flow:

  CPU 0               CPU 1              CPU 2

  soft offline
    get_any_page
    // find the hugetlb is free
                      mmap a hugetlb file
                      page fault
                        ...
                          hugetlb_fault
                            hugetlb_no_page
                              alloc_huge_page
                              // succeed
      soft_offline_free_page
      // set hwpoison flag
                                         mmap the hugetlb file
                                         page fault
                                           ...
                                             hugetlb_fault
                                               hugetlb_no_page
                                                 find_lock_page
                                                   return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON
                                           mm_fault_error
                                             do_sigbus
                                             // kill the process

The hugetlb allocation failure comes from the following flow:

  CPU 0                          CPU 1

                                 mmap a hugetlb file
                                 // reserve all free page but don't fault-in
  soft offline
    get_any_page
    // find the hugetlb is free
      soft_offline_free_page
      // set hwpoison flag
        dissolve_free_huge_page
        // fail because all free hugepages are reserved
                                 page fault
                                   ...
                                     hugetlb_fault
                                       hugetlb_no_page
                                         alloc_huge_page
                                           ...
                                             dequeue_huge_page_node_exact
                                             // ignore hwpoisoned hugepage
                                             // and finally fail due to no-mem

The root cause of this is that current soft-offline code is written based
on an assumption that PageHWPoison flag should be set at first to avoid
accessing the corrupted data.  This makes sense for memory_failure() or
hard offline, but does not for soft offline because soft offline is about
corrected (not uncorrected) error and is safe from data lost.  This patch
changes soft offline semantics where it sets PageHWPoison flag only after
containment of the error page completes successfully.

      mm: enable thp migration for shmem thp · e71769ae
      由 Naoya Horiguchi 提交于 
      My testing for the latest kernel supporting thp migration showed an
infinite loop in offlining the memory block that is filled with shmem
thps.  We can get out of the loop with a signal, but kernel should return
with failure in this case.

What happens in the loop is that scan_movable_pages() repeats returning
the same pfn without any progress.  That's because page migration always
fails for shmem thps.

In memory offline code, memory blocks containing unmovable pages should be
prevented from being offline targets by has_unmovable_pages() inside
start_isolate_page_range().  So it's possible to change migratability for
non-anonymous thps to avoid the issue, but it introduces more complex and
thp-specific handling in migration code, so it might not good.

So this patch is suggesting to fix the issue by enabling thp migration for
shmem thp.  Both of anon/shmem thp are migratable so we don't need
precheck about the type of thps.

      mm: fix do_pages_move status handling · 8f175cf5
      由 Michal Hocko 提交于 
      Li Wang has reported that LTP move_pages04 test fails with the current
tree:

LTP move_pages04:
   TFAIL  :  move_pages04.c:143: status[1] is EPERM, expected EFAULT

The test allocates an array of two pages, one is present while the other
is not (resp.  backed by zero page) and it expects EFAULT for the second
page as the man page suggests.  We are reporting EPERM which doesn't make
any sense and this is a result of a bug from cf5f16b23ec9 ("mm: unclutter
THP migration").

do_pages_move tries to handle as many pages in one batch as possible so we
queue all pages with the same node target together and that corresponds to
[start, i] range which is then used to update status array.
add_page_for_migration will correctly notice the zero (resp.  !present)
page and returns with EFAULT which gets written to the status.  But if
this is the last page in the array we do not update start and so the last
store_status after the loop will overwrite the range of the last batch
with NUMA_NO_NODE (which corresponds to EPERM).

Fix this by simply bailing out from the last flush if the pagelist is
empty as there is clearly nothing more to do.

      mm: unclutter THP migration · 94723aaf
      由 Michal Hocko 提交于 
      THP migration is hacked into the generic migration with rather
surprising semantic.  The migration allocation callback is supposed to
check whether the THP can be migrated at once and if that is not the
case then it allocates a simple page to migrate.  unmap_and_move then
fixes that up by spliting the THP into small pages while moving the head
page to the newly allocated order-0 page.  Remaning pages are moved to
the LRU list by split_huge_page.  The same happens if the THP allocation
fails.  This is really ugly and error prone [1].

I also believe that split_huge_page to the LRU lists is inherently wrong
because all tail pages are not migrated.  Some callers will just work
around that by retrying (e.g.  memory hotplug).  There are other pfn
walkers which are simply broken though.  e.g. madvise_inject_error will
migrate head and then advances next pfn by the huge page size.
do_move_page_to_node_array, queue_pages_range (migrate_pages, mbind),
will simply split the THP before migration if the THP migration is not
supported then falls back to single page migration but it doesn't handle
tail pages if the THP migration path is not able to allocate a fresh THP
so we end up with ENOMEM and fail the whole migration which is a
questionable behavior.  Page compaction doesn't try to migrate large
pages so it should be immune.

This patch tries to unclutter the situation by moving the special THP
handling up to the migrate_pages layer where it actually belongs.  We
simply split the THP page into the existing list if unmap_and_move fails
with ENOMEM and retry.  So we will _always_ migrate all THP subpages and
specific migrate_pages users do not have to deal with this case in a
special way.

      由 Michal Hocko 提交于 
      Patch series "unclutter thp migration"

Motivation:

THP migration is hacked into the generic migration with rather
surprising semantic.  The migration allocation callback is supposed to
check whether the THP can be migrated at once and if that is not the
case then it allocates a simple page to migrate.  unmap_and_move then
fixes that up by splitting the THP into small pages while moving the
head page to the newly allocated order-0 page.  Remaining pages are
moved to the LRU list by split_huge_page.  The same happens if the THP
allocation fails.  This is really ugly and error prone [2].

I also believe that split_huge_page to the LRU lists is inherently wrong
because all tail pages are not migrated.  Some callers will just work
around that by retrying (e.g.  memory hotplug).  There are other pfn
walkers which are simply broken though.  e.g. madvise_inject_error will
migrate head and then advances next pfn by the huge page size.
do_move_page_to_node_array, queue_pages_range (migrate_pages, mbind),
will simply split the THP before migration if the THP migration is not
supported then falls back to single page migration but it doesn't handle
tail pages if the THP migration path is not able to allocate a fresh THP
so we end up with ENOMEM and fail the whole migration which is a
questionable behavior.  Page compaction doesn't try to migrate large
pages so it should be immune.

The first patch reworks do_pages_move which relies on a very ugly
calling semantic when the return status is pushed to the migration path
via private pointer.  It uses pre allocated fixed size batching to
achieve that.  We simply cannot do the same if a THP is to be split
during the migration path which is done in the patch 3.  Patch 2 is
follow up cleanup which removes the mentioned return status calling
convention ugliness.

On a side note:

There are some semantic issues I have encountered on the way when
working on patch 1 but I am not addressing them here.  E.g. trying to
move THP tail pages will result in either success or EBUSY (the later
one more likely once we isolate head from the LRU list).  Hugetlb
reports EACCESS on tail pages.  Some errors are reported via status
parameter but migration failures are not even though the original
`reason' argument suggests there was an intention to do so.  From a
quick look into git history this never worked.  I have tried to keep the
semantic unchanged.

Then there is a relatively minor thing that the page isolation might
fail because of pages not being on the LRU - e.g. because they are
sitting on the per-cpu LRU caches.  Easily fixable.

This patch (of 3):

do_pages_move is supposed to move user defined memory (an array of
addresses) to the user defined numa nodes (an array of nodes one for
each address).  The user provided status array then contains resulting
numa node for each address or an error.  The semantic of this function
is little bit confusing because only some errors are reported back.
Notably migrate_pages error is only reported via the return value.  This
patch doesn't try to address these semantic nuances but rather change
the underlying implementation.

Currently we are processing user input (which can be really large) in
batches which are stored to a temporarily allocated page.  Each address
is resolved to its struct page and stored to page_to_node structure
along with the requested target numa node.  The array of these
structures is then conveyed down the page migration path via private
argument.  new_page_node then finds the corresponding structure and
allocates the proper target page.

What is the problem with the current implementation and why to change
it? Apart from being quite ugly it also doesn't cope with unexpected
pages showing up on the migration list inside migrate_pages path.  That
doesn't happen currently but the follow up patch would like to make the
thp migration code more clear and that would need to split a THP into
the list for some cases.

How does the new implementation work? Well, instead of batching into a
fixed size array we simply batch all pages that should be migrated to
the same node and isolate all of them into a linked list which doesn't
require any additional storage.  This should work reasonably well
because page migration usually migrates larger ranges of memory to a
specific node.  So the common case should work equally well as the
current implementation.  Even if somebody constructs an input where the
target numa nodes would be interleaved we shouldn't see a large
performance impact because page migration alone doesn't really benefit
from batching.  mmap_sem batching for the lookup is quite questionable
and isolate_lru_page which would benefit from batching is not using it
even in the current implementation.

      mm/migrate: properly preserve write attribute in special migrate entry · 07707125
      由 Ralph Campbell 提交于 
      Use of pte_write(pte) is only valid for present pte, the common code
which set the migration entry can be reach for both valid present pte
and special swap entry (for device memory).  Fix the code to use the
mpfn value which properly handle both cases.

On x86 this did not have any bad side effect because pte write bit is
below PAGE_BIT_GLOBAL and thus special swap entry have it set to 0 which
in turn means we were always creating read only special migration entry.

So once migration did finish we always write protected the CPU page
table entry (moreover this is only an issue when migrating from device
memory to system memory).  End effect is that CPU write access would
fault again and restore write permission.

This behaviour isn't too bad; it just burns CPU cycles by forcing CPU to
take a second fault on write access. ie, double faulting the same
address.  There is no corruption or incorrect states (it behaves as a
COWed page from a fork with a mapcount of 1).

      sched/numa: avoid trapping faults and attempting migration of file-backed dirty pages · 09a913a7
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      change_pte_range is called from task work context to mark PTEs for
receiving NUMA faulting hints.  If the marked pages are dirty then
migration may fail.  Some filesystems cannot migrate dirty pages without
blocking so are skipped in MIGRATE_ASYNC mode which just wastes CPU.
Even when they can, it can be a waste of cycles when the pages are
shared forcing higher scan rates.  This patch avoids marking shared
dirty pages for hinting faults but also will skip a migration if the
page was dirtied after the scanner updated a clean page.

This is most noticeable running the NASA Parallel Benchmark when backed
by btrfs, the default root filesystem for some distributions, but also
noticeable when using XFS.

The following are results from a 4-socket machine running a 4.16-rc4
kernel with some scheduler patches that are pending for the next merge
window.

                        4.16.0-rc4             4.16.0-rc4

  Time mg.D      107.73 (   0.00%)      108.22 (  -0.45%)

is.D regresses slightly in terms of absolute time but note that that
particular load varies quite a bit from run to run.  The more relevant
observation is the total system CPU usage.

            4.16.0-rc4  4.16.0-rc4
          schedtip-20180309 nodirty-v1

  System      11078.96     8256.13
  Elapsed       661.66      632.74

That is a substantial drop in system CPU usage and overall the workload
completes faster.  The NUMA balancing statistics are also interesting

  NUMA base PTE updates        111407972   139848884
  NUMA huge PMD updates           206506      264869

  NUMA pages migrated            1517487     1358420

While more PTEs are scanned due to changes in what faults are gathered,
it's clear that a far higher percentage of faults are local as the bulk
of the remote hits were dirty pages that, in this case with btrfs, had
no chance of migrating.

The following is a comparison when using XFS as that is a more realistic
filesystem choice for a data partition

                        4.16.0-rc4             4.16.0-rc4
                 schedtip-20180309          nodirty-v1r47
  Time cg.D      485.28 (   0.00%)      442.62 (   8.79%)
  Time ep.D       77.68 (   0.00%)       77.54 (   0.18%)
  Time is.D       26.44 (   0.00%)       24.79 (   6.24%)
  Time lu.D      597.46 (   0.00%)      597.11 (   0.06%)
  Time mg.D      142.65 (   0.00%)      105.83 (  25.81%)

That is a reasonable gain on two relatively long-lived workloads.  While
not presented, there is also a substantial drop in system CPu usage and
the NUMA balancing stats show similar improvements in locality as btrfs
did.

      mm, hugetlb: do not rely on overcommit limit during migration · ab5ac90a
      由 Michal Hocko 提交于 
      hugepage migration relies on __alloc_buddy_huge_page to get a new page.
This has 2 main disadvantages.

1) it doesn't allow to migrate any huge page if the pool is used
   completely which is not an exceptional case as the pool is static and
   unused memory is just wasted.

2) it leads to a weird semantic when migration between two numa nodes
   might increase the pool size of the destination NUMA node while the
   page is in use.  The issue is caused by per NUMA node surplus pages
   tracking (see free_huge_page).

Address both issues by changing the way how we allocate and account
pages allocated for migration.  Those should temporal by definition.  So
we mark them that way (we will abuse page flags in the 3rd page) and
update free_huge_page to free such pages to the page allocator.  Page
migration path then just transfers the temporal status from the new page
to the old one which will be freed on the last reference.  The global
surplus count will never change during this path but we still have to be
careful when migrating a per-node suprlus page.  This is now handled in
move_hugetlb_state which is called from the migration path and it copies
the hugetlb specific page state and fixes up the accounting when needed

Rename __alloc_buddy_huge_page to __alloc_surplus_huge_page to better
reflect its purpose.  The new allocation routine for the migration path
is __alloc_migrate_huge_page.

The user visible effect of this patch is that migrated pages are really
temporal and they travel between NUMA nodes as per the migration
request:

Before migration
  /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages:0
  /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages:1
  /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/surplus_hugepages:0

  /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/surplus_hugepages:0

After
  /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages:0
  /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages:0
  /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/surplus_hugepages:0
  /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages:0
  /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages:1
  /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/surplus_hugepages:0

with the previous implementation, both nodes would have nr_hugepages:1
until the page is freed.

      mm, thp: Do not make pmd/pud dirty without a reason · 152e93af
      由 Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于 
      Currently we make page table entries dirty all the time regardless of
access type and don't even consider if the mapping is write-protected.
The reasoning is that we don't really need dirty tracking on THP and
making the entry dirty upfront may save some time on first write to the
page.

Unfortunately, such approach may result in false-positive
can_follow_write_pmd() for huge zero page or read-only shmem file.

Let's only make page dirty only if we about to write to the page anyway
(as we do for small pages).

I've restructured the code to make entry dirty inside
maybe_p[mu]d_mkwrite(). It also takes into account if the vma is
write-protected.

Existing pattern (before this patch):

We call the invalidate_range callback after clearing the page table
under the page table lock and we skip the call to invalidate_range
inside the __mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() function.

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      由 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.
