      mm/thp: fix __split_huge_pmd_locked() for migration PMD · ec0abae6
      由 Ralph Campbell 提交于 
      A migrating transparent huge page has to already be unmapped.  Otherwise,
the page could be modified while it is being copied to a new page and data
could be lost.  The function __split_huge_pmd() checks for a PMD migration
entry before calling __split_huge_pmd_locked() leading one to think that
__split_huge_pmd_locked() can handle splitting a migrating PMD.

However, the code always increments the page->_mapcount and adjusts the
memory control group accounting assuming the page is mapped.

Also, if the PMD entry is a migration PMD entry, the call to
is_huge_zero_pmd(*pmd) is incorrect because it calls pmd_pfn(pmd) instead
of migration_entry_to_pfn(pmd_to_swp_entry(pmd)).  Fix these problems by
checking for a PMD migration entry.

      gup: document and work around "COW can break either way" issue · 17839856
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      Doing a "get_user_pages()" on a copy-on-write page for reading can be
ambiguous: the page can be COW'ed at any time afterwards, and the
direction of a COW event isn't defined.

Yes, whoever writes to it will generally do the COW, but if the thread
that did the get_user_pages() unmapped the page before the write (and
that could happen due to memory pressure in addition to any outright
action), the writer could also just take over the old page instead.

End result: the get_user_pages() call might result in a page pointer
that is no longer associated with the original VM, and is associated
with - and controlled by - another VM having taken it over instead.

So when doing a get_user_pages() on a COW mapping, the only really safe
thing to do would be to break the COW when getting the page, even when
only getting it for reading.

At the same time, some users simply don't even care.

For example, the perf code wants to look up the page not because it
cares about the page, but because the code simply wants to look up the
physical address of the access for informational purposes, and doesn't
really care about races when a page might be unmapped and remapped
elsewhere.

This adds logic to force a COW event by setting FOLL_WRITE on any
copy-on-write mapping when FOLL_GET (or FOLL_PIN) is used to get a page
pointer as a result.

The current semantics end up being:

 - __get_user_pages_fast(): no change. If you don't ask for a write,
   you won't break COW. You'd better know what you're doing.

 - get_user_pages_fast(): the fast-case "look it up in the page tables
   without anything getting mmap_sem" now refuses to follow a read-only
   page, since it might need COW breaking.  Which happens in the slow
   path - the fast path doesn't know if the memory might be COW or not.

 - get_user_pages() (including the slow-path fallback for gup_fast()):
   for a COW mapping, turn on FOLL_WRITE for FOLL_GET/FOLL_PIN, with
   very similar semantics to FOLL_FORCE.

If it turns out that we want finer granularity (ie "only break COW when
it might actually matter" - things like the zero page are special and
don't need to be broken) we might need to push these semantics deeper
into the lookup fault path.  So if people care enough, it's possible
that we might end up adding a new internal FOLL_BREAK_COW flag to go
with the internal FOLL_COW flag we already have for tracking "I had a
COW".

Alternatively, if it turns out that different callers might want to
explicitly control the forced COW break behavior, we might even want to
make such a flag visible to the users of get_user_pages() instead of
using the above default semantics.

But for now, this is mostly commentary on the issue (this commit message
being a lot bigger than the patch, and that patch in turn is almost all
comments), with that minimal "enable COW breaking early" logic using the
existing FOLL_WRITE behavior.

[ It might be worth noting that we've always had this ambiguity, and it
  could arguably be seen as a user-space issue.

  You only get private COW mappings that could break either way in
  situations where user space is doing cooperative things (ie fork()
  before an execve() etc), but it _is_ surprising and very subtle, and
  fork() is supposed to give you independent address spaces.

  So let's treat this as a kernel issue and make the semantics of
  get_user_pages() easier to understand. Note that obviously a true
  shared mapping will still get a page that can change under us, so this
  does _not_ mean that get_user_pages() somehow returns any "stable"
  page ]

      userfaultfd: wp: support swap and page migration · f45ec5ff
      由 Peter Xu 提交于 
      For either swap and page migration, we all use the bit 2 of the entry to
identify whether this entry is uffd write-protected.  It plays a similar
role as the existing soft dirty bit in swap entries but only for keeping
the uffd-wp tracking for a specific PTE/PMD.

Something special here is that when we want to recover the uffd-wp bit
from a swap/migration entry to the PTE bit we'll also need to take care of
the _PAGE_RW bit and make sure it's cleared, otherwise even with the
_PAGE_UFFD_WP bit we can't trap it at all.

In change_pte_range() we do nothing for uffd if the PTE is a swap entry.
That can lead to data mismatch if the page that we are going to write
protect is swapped out when sending the UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT.  This patch
also applies/removes the uffd-wp bit even for the swap entries.

      userfaultfd: wp: apply _PAGE_UFFD_WP bit · 292924b2
      由 Peter Xu 提交于 
      Firstly, introduce two new flags MM_CP_UFFD_WP[_RESOLVE] for
change_protection() when used with uffd-wp and make sure the two new flags
are exclusively used.  Then,

  - For MM_CP_UFFD_WP: apply the _PAGE_UFFD_WP bit and remove _PAGE_RW
    when a range of memory is write protected by uffd

  - For MM_CP_UFFD_WP_RESOLVE: remove the _PAGE_UFFD_WP bit and recover
    _PAGE_RW when write protection is resolved from userspace

And use this new interface in mwriteprotect_range() to replace the old
MM_CP_DIRTY_ACCT.

Do this change for both PTEs and huge PMDs.  Then we can start to identify
which PTE/PMD is write protected by general (e.g., COW or soft dirty
tracking), and which is for userfaultfd-wp.

Since we should keep the _PAGE_UFFD_WP when doing pte_modify(), add it
into _PAGE_CHG_MASK as well.  Meanwhile, since we have this new bit, we
can be even more strict when detecting uffd-wp page faults in either
do_wp_page() or wp_huge_pmd().

After we're with _PAGE_UFFD_WP, a special case is when a page is both
protected by the general COW logic and also userfault-wp.  Here the
userfault-wp will have higher priority and will be handled first.  Only
after the uffd-wp bit is cleared on the PTE/PMD will we continue to handle
the general COW.  These are the steps on what will happen with such a
page:

  1. CPU accesses write protected shared page (so both protected by
     general COW and uffd-wp), blocked by uffd-wp first because in
     do_wp_page we'll handle uffd-wp first, so it has higher priority
     than general COW.

  2. Uffd service thread receives the request, do UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT
     to remove the uffd-wp bit upon the PTE/PMD.  However here we
     still keep the write bit cleared.  Notify the blocked CPU.

  3. The blocked CPU resumes the page fault process with a fault
     retry, during retry it'll notice it was not with the uffd-wp bit
     this time but it is still write protected by general COW, then
     it'll go though the COW path in the fault handler, copy the page,
     apply write bit where necessary, and retry again.

  4. The CPU will be able to access this page with write bit set.

      mm: merge parameters for change_protection() · 58705444
      由 Peter Xu 提交于 
      change_protection() was used by either the NUMA or mprotect() code,
there's one parameter for each of the callers (dirty_accountable and
prot_numa).  Further, these parameters are passed along the calls:

  - change_protection_range()
  - change_p4d_range()
  - change_pud_range()
  - change_pmd_range()
  - ...

Now we introduce a flag for change_protect() and all these helpers to
replace these parameters.  Then we can avoid passing multiple parameters
multiple times along the way.

More importantly, it'll greatly simplify the work if we want to introduce
any new parameters to change_protection().  In the follow up patches, a
new parameter for userfaultfd write protection will be introduced.

No functional change at all.

This patch leaves this field untouched but adds two new fields,
thp_{fault,file}_fallback_charge, which is incremented only when the mem
cgroup charge fails.

This distinguishes between attempted hugepage allocations that fail due to
fragmentation (or low memory conditions) and those that fail due to mem
cgroup limits.  That can be used to determine the impact of fragmentation
on the system by excluding faults that failed due to memcg usage.

      mm/huge_memory.c: thp: fix conflict of above-47bit hint address and PMD alignment · 97d3d0f9
      由 Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于 
      Patch series "Fix two above-47bit hint address vs.  THP bugs".

The two get_unmapped_area() implementations have to be fixed to provide
THP-friendly mappings if above-47bit hint address is specified.

This patch (of 2):

Filesystems use thp_get_unmapped_area() to provide THP-friendly
mappings.  For DAX in particular.

Normally, the kernel doesn't create userspace mappings above 47-bit,
even if the machine allows this (such as with 5-level paging on x86-64).
Not all user space is ready to handle wide addresses.  It's known that
at least some JIT compilers use higher bits in pointers to encode their
information.

Userspace can ask for allocation from full address space by specifying
hint address (with or without MAP_FIXED) above 47-bits.  If the
application doesn't need a particular address, but wants to allocate
from whole address space it can specify -1 as a hint address.

Unfortunately, this trick breaks thp_get_unmapped_area(): the function
would not try to allocate PMD-aligned area if *any* hint address
specified.

Modify the routine to handle it correctly:

 - Try to allocate the space at the specified hint address with length
   padding required for PMD alignment.
 - If failed, retry without length padding (but with the same hint
   address);
 - If the returned address matches the hint address return it.
 - Otherwise, align the address as required for THP and return.

The user specified hint address is passed down to get_unmapped_area() so
above-47bit hint address will be taken into account without breaking
alignment requirements.

      Revert "Revert "Revert "mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask"" · 19deb769
      由 David Rientjes 提交于 
      This reverts commit 92717d42.

Since commit a8282608 ("Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage
allocations"") is reverted in this series, it is better to restore the
previous 5.2 behavior between the thp allocation and the page allocator
rather than to attempt any consolidation or cleanup for a policy that is
now reverted.  It's less risky during an rc cycle and subsequent patches
in this series further modify the same policy that the pre-5.3 behavior
implements.

Consolidation and cleanup can be done subsequent to a sane default page
allocation strategy, so this patch reverts a cleanup done on a strategy
that is now reverted and thus is the least risky option.

      Revert "Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage allocations"" · ac79f78d
      由 David Rientjes 提交于 
      This reverts commit a8282608.

The commit references the original intended semantic for MADV_HUGEPAGE
which has subsequently taken on three unique purposes:

 - enables or disables thp for a range of memory depending on the system's
   config (is thp "enabled" set to "always" or "madvise"),

 - determines the synchronous compaction behavior for thp allocations at
   fault (is thp "defrag" set to "always", "defer+madvise", or "madvise"),
   and

 - reverts a previous MADV_NOHUGEPAGE (there is no madvise mode to only
   clear previous hugepage advice).

These are the three purposes that currently exist in 5.2 and over the
past several years that userspace has been written around.  Adding a
NUMA locality preference adds a fourth dimension to an already conflated
advice mode.

Based on the semantic that MADV_HUGEPAGE has provided over the past
several years, there exist workloads that use the tunable based on these
principles: specifically that the allocation should attempt to
defragment a local node before falling back.  It is agreed that remote
hugepages typically (but not always) have a better access latency than
remote native pages, although on Naples this is at parity for
intersocket.

The revert commit that this patch reverts allows hugepage allocation to
immediately allocate remotely when local memory is fragmented.  This is
contrary to the semantic of MADV_HUGEPAGE over the past several years:
that is, memory compaction should be attempted locally before falling
back.

The performance degradation of remote hugepages over local hugepages on
Rome, for example, is 53.5% increased access latency.  For this reason,
the goal is to revert back to the 5.2 and previous behavior that would
attempt local defragmentation before falling back.  With the patch that
is reverted by this patch, we see performance degradations at the tail
because the allocator happily allocates the remote hugepage rather than
even attempting to make a local hugepage available.

zone_reclaim_mode is not a solution to this problem since it does not
only impact hugepage allocations but rather changes the memory
allocation strategy for *all* page allocations.
