Increased usage of page migration in mmotm reveals that the anon_vma locking in unmap_and_move() has been deficient since 2.6.36 (or even earlier). Review at the time of f1819427 ("mm: fix hang on anon_vma->root->lock") missed the issue here: the anon_vma to which we get a reference may already have been freed back to its slab (it is in use when we check page_mapped, but that can change), and so its anon_vma->root may be switched at any moment by reuse in anon_vma_prepare. Perhaps we could fix that with a get_anon_vma_unless_zero(), but let's not: just rely on page_lock_anon_vma() to do all the hard thinking for us, then we don't need any rcu read locking over here. In removing the rcu_unlock label: since PageAnon is a bit in page->mapping, it's impossible for a !page->mapping page to be anon; but insert VM_BUG_ON in case the implementation ever changes.

When parsing changes to the huge page pool sizes made from userspace via the sysfs interface, bogus input values are being covered up by nr_hugepages_store_common and nr_overcommit_hugepages_store returning 0 when strict_strtoul returns an error. This can cause an infinite loop in the nr_hugepages_store code. This patch changes the return value for these functions to -EINVAL when strict_strtoul returns an error.

Huge pages with order >= MAX_ORDER must be allocated at boot via the kernel command line, they cannot be allocated or freed once the kernel is up and running. Currently we allow values to be written to the sysfs and sysctl files controling pool size for these huge page sizes. This patch makes the store functions for nr_hugepages and nr_overcommit_hugepages return -EINVAL when the pool for a page size >= MAX_ORDER is changed.

Even if CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK is set in the kernel configuration, it can still be overriden by randomize_va_space sysctl. If this is the case, the min_brk computation in sys_brk() implementation is wrong, as it solely takes into account COMPAT_BRK setting, assuming that brk start is not randomized. But that might not be the case if randomize_va_space sysctl has been set to '2' at the time the binary has been loaded from disk. In such case, the check has to be done in a same way as in !CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK case. In addition to that, the check for the COMPAT_BRK case introduced back in a5b4592c ("brk: make sys_brk() honor COMPAT_BRK when computing lower bound") is slightly wrong -- the lower bound shouldn't be mm->end_code, but mm->end_data instead, as that's where the legacy applications expect brk section to start (i.e. immediately after last global variable).

In nr_hugepages_store_common() we may abort early if strict_strtoul() fails, but in that case we do not free the memory already allocated to 'nodes_allowed', causing a memory leak.

mm: migration: use rcu_dereference_protected when dereferencing the radix tree slot during file page migration migrate_pages() -> unmap_and_move() only calls rcu_read_lock() for anonymous pages, as introduced by git commit 989f89c5 ("fix rcu_read_lock() in page migraton"). The point of the RCU protection there is part of getting a stable reference to anon_vma and is only held for anon pages as file pages are locked which is sufficient protection against freeing. However, while a file page's mapping is being migrated, the radix tree is double checked to ensure it is the expected page. This uses radix_tree_deref_slot() -> rcu_dereference() without the RCU lock held triggering the following warning.

This makes KSM full operational with THP pages. Subpages are scanned while the hugepage is still in place and delivering max cpu performance, and only if there's a match and we're going to deduplicate memory, the single hugepages with the subpage match is split. There will be no false sharing between ksmd and khugepaged. khugepaged won't collapse 2m virtual regions with KSM pages inside. ksmd also should only split pages when the checksum matches and we're likely to split an hugepage for some long living ksm page (usual ksm heuristic to avoid sharing pages that get de-cowed).

MADV_HUGEPAGE and MADV_NOHUGEPAGE were fully effective only if run after mmap and before touching the memory. While this is enough for most usages, it's little effort to make madvise more dynamic at runtime on an existing mapping by making khugepaged aware about madvise. MADV_HUGEPAGE: register in khugepaged immediately without waiting a page fault (that may not ever happen if all pages are already mapped and the "enabled" knob was set to madvise during the initial page faults). MADV_NOHUGEPAGE: skip vmas marked VM_NOHUGEPAGE in khugepaged to stop collapsing pages where not needed.

hugetlbfs was changed to allow memory failure to migrate the hugetlbfs pages and that broke THP as split_huge_page was then called on hugetlbfs pages too. compound_head/order was also run unsafe on THP pages that can be splitted at any time. All compound_head() invocations in memory-failure.c that are run on pages that aren't pinned and that can be freed and reused from under us (while compound_head is running) are buggy because compound_head can return a dangling pointer, but I'm not fixing this as this is a generic memory-failure bug not specific to THP but it applies to hugetlbfs too, so I can fix it later after THP is merged upstream.

On small systems, the extra memory used by the anti-fragmentation memory reserve and simply because huge pages are smaller than large pages can easily outweigh the benefits of less TLB misses. A less obvious concern is if run on a NUMA machine with asymmetric node sizes and one of them is very small. The reserve could make the node unusable. In case of the crashdump kernel, OOMs have been observed due to the anti-fragmentation memory reserve taking up a large fraction of the crashdump image. This patch disables transparent hugepages on systems with less than 1GB of RAM, but the hugepage subsystem is fully initialized so administrators can enable THP through /sys if desired.

For GRU and EPT, we need gup-fast to set referenced bit too (this is why it's correct to return 0 when shadow_access_mask is zero, it requires gup-fast to set the referenced bit). qemu-kvm access already sets the young bit in the pte if it isn't zero-copy, if it's zero copy or a shadow paging EPT minor fault we relay on gup-fast to signal the page is in use... We also need to check the young bits on the secondary pagetables for NPT and not nested shadow mmu as the data may never get accessed again by the primary pte. Without this closer accuracy, we'd have to remove the heuristic that avoids collapsing hugepages in hugepage virtual regions that have not even a single subpage in use. ->test_young is full backwards compatible with GRU and other usages that don't have young bits in pagetables set by the hardware and that should nuke the secondary mmu mappings when ->clear_flush_young runs just like EPT does. Removing the heuristic that checks the young bit in khugepaged/collapse_huge_page completely isn't so bad either probably but I thought it was worth it and this makes it reliable.

An huge pmd can only be mapped if the corresponding 2M virtual range is fully contained in the vma. At times the VM calls split_vma twice, if the first split_vma succeeds and the second fail, the first split_vma remains in effect and it's not rolled back. For split_vma or vma_adjust to fail an allocation failure is needed so it's a very unlikely event (the out of memory killer would normally fire before any allocation failure is visible to kernel and userland and if an out of memory condition happens it's unlikely to happen exactly here). Nevertheless it's safer to ensure that no huge pmd can be left around if the vma is adjusted in a way that can't fit hugepages anymore at the new vm_start/vm_end address.

With transparent hugepage support we need compaction for the "defrag" sysfs controls to be effective. At the moment THP hangs the system if COMPACTION isn't selected, as without COMPACTION lumpy reclaim wouldn't be entirely disabled. So at the moment it's not orthogonal. When lumpy will be removed from the VM I can remove the select COMPACTION in theory, but then 99% of THP users would be still doing a mistake in disabling compaction, even if the mistake won't return in fatal runtime but just slightly degraded performance. So from a theoretical standpoing forcing the below select is not needed (the dependency isn't strict nor at compile time nor at runtime) but from a practical standpoint it is safer. If anybody really wants THP to run without compaction, it'd be such a weird setup that editing the Kconfig file to allow it will be surely not a problem.

It's mostly a matter of replacing alloc_pages with alloc_pages_vma after introducing alloc_pages_vma. khugepaged needs special handling as the allocation has to happen inside collapse_huge_page where the vma is known and an error has to be returned to the outer loop to sleep alloc_sleep_millisecs in case of failure. But it retains the more efficient logic of handling allocation failures in khugepaged in case of CONFIG_NUMA=n.
