      mm: Add write-protect and clean utilities for address space ranges · 4fe51e9e
      由 Thomas Hellstrom 提交于 
      Add two utilities to a) write-protect and b) clean all ptes pointing into
a range of an address space.
The utilities are intended to aid in tracking dirty pages (either
driver-allocated system memory or pci device memory).
The write-protect utility should be used in conjunction with
page_mkwrite() and pfn_mkwrite() to trigger write page-faults on page
accesses. Typically one would want to use this on sparse accesses into
large memory regions. The clean utility should be used to utilize
hardware dirtying functionality and avoid the overhead of page-faults,
typically on large accesses into small memory regions.

The added file "as_dirty_helpers.c" is initially listed as maintained by
VMware under our DRM driver. If somebody would like it elsewhere,
that's of course no problem.

Notable changes since RFC:
- Added comments to help avoid the usage of these function for VMAs
  it's not intended for. We also do advisory checks on the vm_flags and
  warn on illegal usage.
- Perform the pte modifications the same way softdirty does.
- Add mmu_notifier range invalidation calls.
- Add a config option so that this code is not unconditionally included.
- Tell the mmu_gather code about pending tlb flushes.

      mm: Add an apply_to_pfn_range interface · 29875a52
      由 Thomas Hellstrom 提交于 
      This is basically apply_to_page_range with added functionality:
Allocating missing parts of the page table becomes optional, which
means that the function can be guaranteed not to error if allocation
is disabled. Also passing of the closure struct and callback function
becomes different and more in line with how things are done elsewhere.

Finally we keep apply_to_page_range as a wrapper around apply_to_pfn_range

The reason for not using the page-walk code is that we want to perform
the page-walk on vmas pointing to an address space without requiring the
mmap_sem to be held rather than on vmas belonging to a process with the
mmap_sem held.

Notable changes since RFC:
Don't export apply_to_pfn range.

      mm: introduce new vm_map_pages() and vm_map_pages_zero() API · a667d745
      由 Souptick Joarder 提交于 
      Patch series "mm: Use vm_map_pages() and vm_map_pages_zero() API", v5.

This patch (of 5):

Previouly drivers have their own way of mapping range of kernel
pages/memory into user vma and this was done by invoking vm_insert_page()
within a loop.

As this pattern is common across different drivers, it can be generalized
by creating new functions and using them across the drivers.

vm_map_pages() is the API which can be used to map kernel memory/pages in
drivers which have considered vm_pgoff

vm_map_pages_zero() is the API which can be used to map a range of kernel
memory/pages in drivers which have not considered vm_pgoff.  vm_pgoff is
passed as default 0 for those drivers.

We _could_ then at a later "fix" these drivers which are using
vm_map_pages_zero() to behave according to the normal vm_pgoff offsetting
simply by removing the _zero suffix on the function name and if that
causes regressions, it gives us an easy way to revert.

Tested on Rockchip hardware and display is working, including talking to
Lima via prime.

      mm: use mm_zero_struct_page from SPARC on all 64b architectures · 5470dea4
      由 Alexander Duyck 提交于 
      Patch series "Deferred page init improvements", v7.

This patchset is essentially a refactor of the page initialization logic
that is meant to provide for better code reuse while providing a
significant improvement in deferred page initialization performance.

In my testing on an x86_64 system with 384GB of RAM I have seen the
following.  In the case of regular memory initialization the deferred init
time was decreased from 3.75s to 1.38s on average.  This amounts to a 172%
improvement for the deferred memory initialization performance.

I have called out the improvement observed with each patch.

This patch (of 4):

Use the same approach that was already in use on Sparc on all the
architectures that support a 64b long.

This is mostly motivated by the fact that 7 to 10 store/move instructions
are likely always going to be faster than having to call into a function
that is not specialized for handling page init.

An added advantage to doing it this way is that the compiler can get away
with combining writes in the __init_single_page call.  As a result the
memset call will be reduced to only about 4 write operations, or at least
that is what I am seeing with GCC 6.2 as the flags, LRU pointers, and
count/mapcount seem to be cancelling out at least 4 of the 8 assignments
on my system.

One change I had to make to the function was to reduce the minimum page
size to 56 to support some powerpc64 configurations.

This change should introduce no change on SPARC since it already had this
code.  In the case of x86_64 I saw a reduction from 3.75s to 2.80s when
initializing 384GB of RAM per node.  Pavel Tatashin tested on a system
with Broadcom's Stingray CPU and 48GB of RAM and found that
__init_single_page() takes 19.30ns / 64-byte struct page before this patch
and with this patch it takes 17.33ns / 64-byte struct page.  Mike Rapoport
ran a similar test on a OpenPower (S812LC 8348-21C) with Power8 processor
and 128GB or RAM.  His results per 64-byte struct page were 4.68ns before,
and 4.59ns after this patch.

    • J
      mm: introduce put_user_page*(), placeholder versions · fc1d8e7c
      由 John Hubbard 提交于 
      A discussion of the overall problem is below.

As mentioned in patch 0001, the steps are to fix the problem are:

1) Provide put_user_page*() routines, intended to be used
   for releasing pages that were pinned via get_user_pages*().

2) Convert all of the call sites for get_user_pages*(), to
   invoke put_user_page*(), instead of put_page(). This involves dozens of
   call sites, and will take some time.

3) After (2) is complete, use get_user_pages*() and put_user_page*() to
   implement tracking of these pages. This tracking will be separate from
   the existing struct page refcounting.

4) Use the tracking and identification of these pages, to implement
   special handling (especially in writeback paths) when the pages are
   backed by a filesystem.

Overview
========

Some kernel components (file systems, device drivers) need to access
memory that is specified via process virtual address.  For a long time,
the API to achieve that was get_user_pages ("GUP") and its variations.
However, GUP has critical limitations that have been overlooked; in
particular, GUP does not interact correctly with filesystems in all
situations.  That means that file-backed memory + GUP is a recipe for
potential problems, some of which have already occurred in the field.

GUP was first introduced for Direct IO (O_DIRECT), allowing filesystem
code to get the struct page behind a virtual address and to let storage
hardware perform a direct copy to or from that page.  This is a
short-lived access pattern, and as such, the window for a concurrent
writeback of GUP'd page was small enough that there were not (we think)
any reported problems.  Also, userspace was expected to understand and
accept that Direct IO was not synchronized with memory-mapped access to
that data, nor with any process address space changes such as munmap(),
mremap(), etc.

Over the years, more GUP uses have appeared (virtualization, device
drivers, RDMA) that can keep the pages they get via GUP for a long period
of time (seconds, minutes, hours, days, ...).  This long-term pinning
makes an underlying design problem more obvious.

In fact, there are a number of key problems inherent to GUP:

Interactions with file systems
==============================

File systems expect to be able to write back data, both to reclaim pages,
and for data integrity.  Allowing other hardware (NICs, GPUs, etc) to gain
write access to the file memory pages means that such hardware can dirty
the pages, without the filesystem being aware.  This can, in some cases
(depending on filesystem, filesystem options, block device, block device
options, and other variables), lead to data corruption, and also to kernel
bugs of the form:

    kernel BUG at /build/linux-fQ94TU/linux-4.4.0/fs/ext4/inode.c:1899!
    backtrace:
        ext4_writepage
        __writepage
        write_cache_pages
        ext4_writepages
        do_writepages
        __writeback_single_inode
        writeback_sb_inodes
        __writeback_inodes_wb
        wb_writeback
        wb_workfn
        process_one_work
        worker_thread
        kthread
        ret_from_fork

...which is due to the file system asserting that there are still buffer
heads attached:

        ({                                                      \
                BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page));                     \
                ((struct buffer_head *)page_private(page));     \
        })

Dave Chinner's description of this is very clear:

    "The fundamental issue is that ->page_mkwrite must be called on every
    write access to a clean file backed page, not just the first one.
    How long the GUP reference lasts is irrelevant, if the page is clean
    and you need to dirty it, you must call ->page_mkwrite before it is
    marked writeable and dirtied. Every. Time."

This is just one symptom of the larger design problem: real filesystems
that actually write to a backing device, do not actually support
get_user_pages() being called on their pages, and letting hardware write
directly to those pages--even though that pattern has been going on since
about 2005 or so.

Long term GUP
=============

Long term GUP is an issue when FOLL_WRITE is specified to GUP (so, a
writeable mapping is created), and the pages are file-backed.  That can
lead to filesystem corruption.  What happens is that when a file-backed
page is being written back, it is first mapped read-only in all of the CPU
page tables; the file system then assumes that nobody can write to the
page, and that the page content is therefore stable.  Unfortunately, the
GUP callers generally do not monitor changes to the CPU pages tables; they
instead assume that the following pattern is safe (it's not):

    get_user_pages()

    Hardware can keep a reference to those pages for a very long time,
    and write to it at any time.  Because "hardware" here means "devices
    that are not a CPU", this activity occurs without any interaction with
    the kernel's file system code.

    for each page
        set_page_dirty
        put_page()

In fact, the GUP documentation even recommends that pattern.

Anyway, the file system assumes that the page is stable (nothing is
writing to the page), and that is a problem: stable page content is
necessary for many filesystem actions during writeback, such as checksum,
encryption, RAID striping, etc.  Furthermore, filesystem features like COW
(copy on write) or snapshot also rely on being able to use a new page for
as memory for that memory range inside the file.

Corruption during write back is clearly possible here.  To solve that, one
idea is to identify pages that have active GUP, so that we can use a
bounce page to write stable data to the filesystem.  The filesystem would
work on the bounce page, while any of the active GUP might write to the
original page.  This would avoid the stable page violation problem, but
note that it is only part of the overall solution, because other problems
remain.

Other filesystem features that need to replace the page with a new one can
be inhibited for pages that are GUP-pinned.  This will, however, alter and
limit some of those filesystem features.  The only fix for that would be
to require GUP users to monitor and respond to CPU page table updates.
Subsystems such as ODP and HMM do this, for example.  This aspect of the
problem is still under discussion.

Direct IO
=========

Direct IO can cause corruption, if userspace does Direct-IO that writes to
a range of virtual addresses that are mmap'd to a file.  The pages written
to are file-backed pages that can be under write back, while the Direct IO
is taking place.  Here, Direct IO races with a write back: it calls GUP
before page_mkclean() has replaced the CPU pte with a read-only entry.
The race window is pretty small, which is probably why years have gone by
before we noticed this problem: Direct IO is generally very quick, and
tends to finish up before the filesystem gets around to do anything with
the page contents.  However, it's still a real problem.  The solution is
to never let GUP return pages that are under write back, but instead,
force GUP to take a write fault on those pages.  That way, GUP will
properly synchronize with the active write back.  This does not change the
required GUP behavior, it just avoids that race.

Details
=======

Introduces put_user_page(), which simply calls put_page().  This provides
a way to update all get_user_pages*() callers, so that they call
put_user_page(), instead of put_page().

Also introduces put_user_pages(), and a few dirty/locked variations, as a
replacement for release_pages(), and also as a replacement for open-coded
loops that release multiple pages.  These may be used for subsequent
performance improvements, via batching of pages to be released.

This is the first step of fixing a problem (also described in [1] and [2])
with interactions between get_user_pages ("gup") and filesystems.

Problem description: let's start with a bug report.  Below, is what
happens sometimes, under memory pressure, when a driver pins some pages
via gup, and then marks those pages dirty, and releases them.  Note that
the gup documentation actually recommends that pattern.  The problem is
that the filesystem may do a writeback while the pages were gup-pinned,
and then the filesystem believes that the pages are clean.  So, when the
driver later marks the pages as dirty, that conflicts with the
filesystem's page tracking and results in a BUG(), like this one that I
experienced:

    kernel BUG at /build/linux-fQ94TU/linux-4.4.0/fs/ext4/inode.c:1899!
    backtrace:
        ext4_writepage

        __writeback_inodes_wb
        wb_writeback
        wb_workfn
        process_one_work
        worker_thread
        kthread
        ret_from_fork

...which is due to the file system asserting that there are still buffer
heads attached:

        ({                                                      \
                BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page));                     \
                ((struct buffer_head *)page_private(page));     \
        })

Dave Chinner's description of this is very clear:

    "The fundamental issue is that ->page_mkwrite must be called on
    every write access to a clean file backed page, not just the first
    one.  How long the GUP reference lasts is irrelevant, if the page is
    clean and you need to dirty it, you must call ->page_mkwrite before it
    is marked writeable and dirtied.  Every.  Time."

      mm/gup: change GUP fast to use flags rather than a write 'bool' · 73b0140b
      由 Ira Weiny 提交于 
      To facilitate additional options to get_user_pages_fast() change the
singular write parameter to be gup_flags.

This patch does not change any functionality.  New functionality will
follow in subsequent patches.

Some of the get_user_pages_fast() call sites were unchanged because they
already passed FOLL_WRITE or 0 for the write parameter.

NOTE: It was suggested to change the ordering of the get_user_pages_fast()
arguments to ensure that callers were converted.  This breaks the current
GUP call site convention of having the returned pages be the final
parameter.  So the suggestion was rejected.

      mm/gup: replace get_user_pages_longterm() with FOLL_LONGTERM · 932f4a63
      由 Ira Weiny 提交于 
      Pach series "Add FOLL_LONGTERM to GUP fast and use it".

HFI1, qib, and mthca, use get_user_pages_fast() due to its performance
advantages.  These pages can be held for a significant time.  But
get_user_pages_fast() does not protect against mapping FS DAX pages.

Introduce FOLL_LONGTERM and use this flag in get_user_pages_fast() which
retains the performance while also adding the FS DAX checks.  XDP has also
shown interest in using this functionality.[1]

In addition we change get_user_pages() to use the new FOLL_LONGTERM flag
and remove the specialized get_user_pages_longterm call.

[1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/3/19/939

"longterm" is a relative thing and at this point is probably a misnomer.
This is really flagging a pin which is going to be given to hardware and
can't move.  I've thought of a couple of alternative names but I think we
have to settle on if we are going to use FL_LAYOUT or something else to
solve the "longterm" problem.  Then I think we can change the flag to a
better name.

Secondly, it depends on how often you are registering memory.  I have
spoken with some RDMA users who consider MR in the performance path...
For the overall application performance.  I don't have the numbers as the
tests for HFI1 were done a long time ago.  But there was a significant
advantage.  Some of which is probably due to the fact that you don't have
to hold mmap_sem.

Finally, architecturally I think it would be good for everyone to use
*_fast.  There are patches submitted to the RDMA list which would allow
the use of *_fast (they reworking the use of mmap_sem) and as soon as they
are accepted I'll submit a patch to convert the RDMA core as well.  Also
to this point others are looking to use *_fast.

As an aside, Jasons pointed out in my previous submission that *_fast and
*_unlocked look very much the same.  I agree and I think further cleanup
will be coming.  But I'm focused on getting the final solution for DAX at
the moment.

This patch (of 7):

This patch starts a series which aims to support FOLL_LONGTERM in
get_user_pages_fast().  Some callers who would like to do a longterm (user
controlled pin) of pages with the fast variant of GUP for performance
purposes.

Rather than have a separate get_user_pages_longterm() call, introduce
FOLL_LONGTERM and change the longterm callers to use it.

This patch does not change any functionality.  In the short term
"longterm" or user controlled pins are unsafe for Filesystems and FS DAX
in particular has been blocked.  However, callers of get_user_pages_fast()
were not "protected".

FOLL_LONGTERM can _only_ be supported with get_user_pages[_fast]() as it
requires vmas to determine if DAX is in use.

NOTE: In merging with the CMA changes we opt to change the
get_user_pages() call in check_and_migrate_cma_pages() to a call of
__get_user_pages_locked() on the newly migrated pages.  This makes the
code read better in that we are calling __get_user_pages_locked() on the
pages before and after a potential migration.

As a side affect some of the interfaces are cleaned up but this is not the
primary purpose of the series.

In review[1] it was asked:

A couple of points.

First "longterm" is a relative thing and at this point is probably a
misnomer.  This is really flagging a pin which is going to be given to
hardware and can't move.  I've thought of a couple of alternative names
but I think we have to settle on if we are going to use FL_LAYOUT or

change the flag to a better name.

Second, It depends on how often you are registering memory.  I have spoken

As an asside, Jasons pointed out in my previous submission that *_fast and

      mm/hibernation: Make hibernation handle unmapped pages · d6332692
      由 Rick Edgecombe 提交于 
      Make hibernate handle unmapped pages on the direct map when
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_ALIAS=y is set. These functions allow for setting pages
to invalid configurations, so now hibernate should check if the pages have
valid mappings and handle if they are unmapped when doing a hibernate
save operation.

Previously this checking was already done when CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y
was configured. It does not appear to have a big hibernating performance
impact. The speed of the saving operation before this change was measured
as 819.02 MB/s, and after was measured at 813.32 MB/s.

      mm: add 'try_get_page()' helper function · 88b1a17d
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      This is the same as the traditional 'get_page()' function, but instead
of unconditionally incrementing the reference count of the page, it only
does so if the count was "safe".  It returns whether the reference count
was incremented (and is marked __must_check, since the caller obviously
has to be aware of it).

Also like 'get_page()', you can't use this function unless you already
had a reference to the page.  The intent is that you can use this
exactly like get_page(), but in situations where you want to limit the
maximum reference count.

The code currently does an unconditional WARN_ON_ONCE() if we ever hit
the reference count issues (either zero or negative), as a notification
that the conditional non-increment actually happened.

NOTE! The count access for the "safety" check is inherently racy, but
that doesn't matter since the buffer we use is basically half the range
of the reference count (ie we look at the sign of the count).

      mm: make page ref count overflow check tighter and more explicit · f958d7b5
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      We have a VM_BUG_ON() to check that the page reference count doesn't
underflow (or get close to overflow) by checking the sign of the count.

That's all fine, but we actually want to allow people to use a "get page
ref unless it's already very high" helper function, and we want that one
to use the sign of the page ref (without triggering this VM_BUG_ON).

Change the VM_BUG_ON to only check for small underflows (or _very_ close
to overflowing), and ignore overflows which have strayed into negative
territory.

      mm: update get_user_pages_longterm to migrate pages allocated from CMA region · 9a4e9f3b
      由 Aneesh Kumar K.V 提交于 
      This patch updates get_user_pages_longterm to migrate pages allocated
out of CMA region.  This makes sure that we don't keep non-movable pages
(due to page reference count) in the CMA area.

This will be used by ppc64 in a later patch to avoid pinning pages in
the CMA region.  ppc64 uses CMA region for allocation of the hardware
page table (hash page table) and not able to migrate pages out of CMA
region results in page table allocation failures.

One case where we hit this easy is when a guest using a VFIO passthrough
device.  VFIO locks all the guest's memory and if the guest memory is
backed by CMA region, it becomes unmovable resulting in fragmenting the
CMA and possibly preventing other guests from allocation a large enough
hash page table.

NOTE: We allocate the new page without using __GFP_THISNODE

      mm: treewide: remove unused address argument from pte_alloc functions · 4cf58924
      由 Joel Fernandes (Google) 提交于 
      Patch series "Add support for fast mremap".

This series speeds up the mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at
the PMD level even for non-THP systems.  There is concern that the extra
'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something
subtle architecture related in the future that may make the scheme not
work.  Also we find that there is no point in passing the 'address' to
pte_alloc since its unused.  This patch therefore removes this argument
tree-wide resulting in a nice negative diff as well.  Also ensuring
along the way that the enabled architectures do not do anything funky
with the 'address' argument that goes unnoticed by the optimization.

Build and boot tested on x86-64.  Build tested on arm64.  The config
enablement patch for arm64 will be posted in the future after more
testing.

The changes were obtained by applying the following Coccinelle script.
(thanks Julia for answering all Coccinelle questions!).
Following fix ups were done manually:
* Removal of address argument from  pte_fragment_alloc
* Removal of pte_alloc_one_fast definitions from m68k and microblaze.

      mm: add mm_pxd_folded checks to pgtable_bytes accounting functions · 6d212db1

      The common mm code calls mm_dec_nr_pmds() and mm_dec_nr_puds()
in free_pgtables() if the address range spans a full pud or pmd.
If mm_dec_nr_puds/mm_dec_nr_pmds are non-empty due to configuration
settings they blindly subtract the size of the pmd or pud table from
pgtable_bytes even if the pud or pmd page table layer is folded.

Add explicit mm_[pmd|pud]_folded checks to the four pgtable_bytes
accounting functions mm_inc_nr_puds, mm_inc_nr_pmds, mm_dec_nr_puds
and mm_dec_nr_pmds. As the check for folded page tables can be
overwritten by the architecture, this allows to keep a correct
pgtable_bytes value for platforms that use a dynamic number of
page table levels.

      PCI/P2PDMA: Support peer-to-peer memory · 52916982
      由 Logan Gunthorpe 提交于 
      Some PCI devices may have memory mapped in a BAR space that's intended for
use in peer-to-peer transactions.  To enable such transactions the memory
must be registered with ZONE_DEVICE pages so it can be used by DMA
interfaces in existing drivers.

Add an interface for other subsystems to find and allocate chunks of P2P
memory as necessary to facilitate transfers between two PCI peers:

  struct pci_dev *pci_p2pmem_find[_many]();
  int pci_p2pdma_distance[_many]();
  void *pci_alloc_p2pmem();

The new interface requires a driver to collect a list of client devices
involved in the transaction then call pci_p2pmem_find() to obtain any
suitable P2P memory.  Alternatively, if the caller knows a device which
provides P2P memory, they can use pci_p2pdma_distance() to determine if it
is usable.  With a suitable p2pmem device, memory can then be allocated
with pci_alloc_p2pmem() for use in DMA transactions.

Depending on hardware, using peer-to-peer memory may reduce the bandwidth
of the transfer but can significantly reduce pressure on system memory.
This may be desirable in many cases: for example a system could be designed
with a small CPU connected to a PCIe switch by a small number of lanes
which would maximize the number of lanes available to connect to NVMe
devices.

The code is designed to only utilize the p2pmem device if all the devices
involved in a transfer are behind the same PCI bridge.  This is because we
have no way of knowing whether peer-to-peer routing between PCIe Root Ports
is supported (PCIe r4.0, sec 1.3.1).  Additionally, the benefits of P2P
transfers that go through the RC is limited to only reducing DRAM usage
and, in some cases, coding convenience.  The PCI-SIG may be exploring
adding a new capability bit to advertise whether this is possible for
future hardware.

      mm: migration: fix migration of huge PMD shared pages · 017b1660
      由 Mike Kravetz 提交于 
      The page migration code employs try_to_unmap() to try and unmap the source
page.  This is accomplished by using rmap_walk to find all vmas where the
page is mapped.  This search stops when page mapcount is zero.  For shared
PMD huge pages, the page map count is always 1 no matter the number of
mappings.  Shared mappings are tracked via the reference count of the PMD
page.  Therefore, try_to_unmap stops prematurely and does not completely
unmap all mappings of the source page.

This problem can result is data corruption as writes to the original
source page can happen after contents of the page are copied to the target
page.  Hence, data is lost.

This problem was originally seen as DB corruption of shared global areas
after a huge page was soft offlined due to ECC memory errors.  DB
developers noticed they could reproduce the issue by (hotplug) offlining
memory used to back huge pages.  A simple testcase can reproduce the
problem by creating a shared PMD mapping (note that this must be at least
PUD_SIZE in size and PUD_SIZE aligned (1GB on x86)), and using
migrate_pages() to migrate process pages between nodes while continually
writing to the huge pages being migrated.

To fix, have the try_to_unmap_one routine check for huge PMD sharing by
calling huge_pmd_unshare for hugetlbfs huge pages.  If it is a shared
mapping it will be 'unshared' which removes the page table entry and drops
the reference on the PMD page.  After this, flush caches and TLB.

mmu notifiers are called before locking page tables, but we can not be
sure of PMD sharing until page tables are locked.  Therefore, check for
the possibility of PMD sharing before locking so that notifiers can
prepare for the worst possible case.
