Currently hugepage migration works well only for pmd-based hugepages (mainly due to lack of testing,) so we had better not enable migration of other levels of hugepages until we are ready for it. Some users of hugepage migration (mbind, move_pages, and migrate_pages) do page table walk and check pud/pmd_huge() there, so they are safe. But the other users (softoffline and memory hotremove) don't do this, so without this patch they can try to migrate unexpected types of hugepages. To prevent this, we introduce hugepage_migration_support() as an architecture dependent check of whether hugepage are implemented on a pmd basis or not. And on some architecture multiple sizes of hugepages are available, so hugepage_migration_support() also checks hugepage size.

Until now we can't offline memory blocks which contain hugepages because a hugepage is considered as an unmovable page. But now with this patch series, a hugepage has become movable, so by using hugepage migration we can offline such memory blocks. What's different from other users of hugepage migration is that we need to decompose all the hugepages inside the target memory block into free buddy pages after hugepage migration, because otherwise free hugepages remaining in the memory block intervene the memory offlining. For this reason we introduce new functions dissolve_free_huge_page() and dissolve_free_huge_pages(). Other than that, what this patch does is straightforwardly to add hugepage migration code, that is, adding hugepage code to the functions which scan over pfn and collect hugepages to be migrated, and adding a hugepage allocation function to alloc_migrate_target(). As for larger hugepages (1GB for x86_64), it's not easy to do hotremove over them because it's larger than memory block. So we now simply leave it to fail as it is.

Currently hugepage migration is available only for soft offlining, but it's also useful for some other users of page migration (clearly because users of hugepage can enjoy the benefit of mempolicy and memory hotplug.) So this patchset tries to extend such users to support hugepage migration. The target of this patchset is to enable hugepage migration for NUMA related system calls (migrate_pages(2), move_pages(2), and mbind(2)), and memory hotplug. This patchset does not add hugepage migration for memory compaction, because users of memory compaction mainly expect to construct thp by arranging raw pages, and there's little or no need to compact hugepages. CMA, another user of page migration, can have benefit from hugepage migration, but is not enabled to support it for now (just because of lack of testing and expertise in CMA.) Hugepage migration of non pmd-based hugepage (for example 1GB hugepage in x86_64, or hugepages in architectures like ia64) is not enabled for now (again, because of lack of testing.) As for how these are achived, I extended the API (migrate_pages()) to handle hugepage (with patch 1 and 2) and adjusted code of each caller to check and collect movable hugepages (with patch 3-7). Remaining 2 patches are kind of miscellaneous ones to avoid unexpected behavior. Patch 8 is about making sure that we only migrate pmd-based hugepages. And patch 9 is about choosing appropriate zone for hugepage allocation. My test is mainly functional one, simply kicking hugepage migration via each entry point and confirm that migration is done correctly. Test code is available here: git://github.com/Naoya-Horiguchi/test_hugepage_migration_extension.git And I always run libhugetlbfs test when changing hugetlbfs's code. With this patchset, no regression was found in the test. This patch (of 9): Before enabling each user of page migration to support hugepage, this patch enables the list of pages for migration to link not only LRU pages, but also hugepages. As a result, putback_movable_pages() and migrate_pages() can handle both of LRU pages and hugepages.

The futex_keys of process shared futexes are generated from the page offset, the mapping host and the mapping index of the futex user space address. This should result in an unique identifier for each futex. Though this is not true when futexes are located in different subpages of an hugepage. The reason is, that the mapping index for all those futexes evaluates to the index of the base page of the hugetlbfs mapping. So a futex at offset 0 of the hugepage mapping and another one at offset PAGE_SIZE of the same hugepage mapping have identical futex_keys. This happens because the futex code blindly uses page->index. Steps to reproduce the bug: 1. Map a file from hugetlbfs. Initialize pthread_mutex1 at offset 0 and pthread_mutex2 at offset PAGE_SIZE of the hugetlbfs mapping. The mutexes must be initialized as PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED because PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE mutexes are not affected by this issue as their keys solely depend on the user space address. 2. Lock mutex1 and mutex2 3. Create thread1 and in the thread function lock mutex1, which results in thread1 blocking on the locked mutex1. 4. Create thread2 and in the thread function lock mutex2, which results in thread2 blocking on the locked mutex2. 5. Unlock mutex2. Despite the fact that mutex2 got unlocked, thread2 still blocks on mutex2 because the futex_key points to mutex1. To solve this issue we need to take the normal page index of the page which contains the futex into account, if the futex is in an hugetlbfs mapping. In other words, we calculate the normal page mapping index of the subpage in the hugetlbfs mapping. Mappings which are not based on hugetlbfs are not affected and still use page->index. Thanks to Mel Gorman who provided a patch for adding proper evaluation functions to the hugetlbfs code to avoid exposing hugetlbfs specific details to the futex code.

Under x86, multiple puds can be made to reference the same bank of huge pmds provided that they represent a full PUD_SIZE of shared huge memory that is aligned to a PUD_SIZE boundary. The code to share pmds does not require any architecture specific knowledge other than the fact that pmds can be indexed, thus can be beneficial to some other architectures.

The current kernel returns -EINVAL unless a given mmap length is "almost" hugepage aligned. This is because in sys_mmap_pgoff() the given length is passed to vm_mmap_pgoff() as it is without being aligned with hugepage boundary. This is a regression introduced in commit 40716e29 ("hugetlbfs: fix alignment of huge page requests"), where alignment code is pushed into hugetlb_file_setup() and the variable len in caller side is not changed. To fix this, this patch partially reverts that commit, and adds alignment code in caller side. And it also introduces hstate_sizelog() in order to get proper hstate to specified hugepage size.

Particularly in oom conditions, it's troublesome that hugetlb memory is not displayed. All other meminfo that is emitted will not add up to what is expected, and there is no artifact left in the kernel log to show that a potentially significant amount of memory is actually allocated as hugepages which are not available to be reclaimed. Booting with hugepages=8192 on the command line, this memory is now shown in oom conditions. For example, with echo m > /proc/sysrq-trigger: Node 0 hugepages_total=2048 hugepages_free=2048 hugepages_surp=0 hugepages_size=2048kB Node 1 hugepages_total=2048 hugepages_free=2048 hugepages_surp=0 hugepages_size=2048kB Node 2 hugepages_total=2048 hugepages_free=2048 hugepages_surp=0 hugepages_size=2048kB Node 3 hugepages_total=2048 hugepages_free=2048 hugepages_surp=0 hugepages_size=2048kB [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: NDavid Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Acked-by: NMichal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

There was some desire in large applications using MAP_HUGETLB or SHM_HUGETLB to use 1GB huge pages on some mappings, and stay with 2MB on others. This is useful together with NUMA policy: use 2MB interleaving on some mappings, but 1GB on local mappings. This patch extends the IPC/SHM syscall interfaces slightly to allow specifying the page size. It borrows some upper bits in the existing flag arguments and allows encoding the log of the desired page size in addition to the *_HUGETLB flag. When 0 is specified the default size is used, this makes the change fully compatible. Extending the internal hugetlb code to handle this is straight forward. Instead of a single mount it just keeps an array of them and selects the right mount based on the specified page size. When no page size is specified it uses the mount of the default page size. The change is not visible in /proc/mounts because internal mounts don't appear there. It also has very little overhead: the additional mounts just consume a super block, but not more memory when not used. I also exported the new flags to the user headers (they were previously under __KERNEL__). Right now only symbols for x86 and some other architecture for 1GB and 2MB are defined. The interface should already work for all other architectures though. Only architectures that define multiple hugetlb sizes actually need it (that is currently x86, tile, powerpc). However tile and powerpc have user configurable hugetlb sizes, so it's not easy to add defines. A program on those architectures would need to query sysfs and use the appropiate log2.

If a process creates a large hugetlbfs mapping that is eligible for page table sharing and forks heavily with children some of whom fault and others which destroy the mapping then it is possible for page tables to get corrupted. Some teardowns of the mapping encounter a "bad pmd" and output a message to the kernel log. The final teardown will trigger a BUG_ON in mm/filemap.c. This was reproduced in 3.4 but is known to have existed for a long time and goes back at least as far as 2.6.37. It was probably was introduced in 2.6.20 by [39dde65c: shared page table for hugetlb page].

Once the bug is triggered, the machine is in trouble and needs to be rebooted. The machine will respond but processes accessing proc like "ps aux" will hang due to the BUG_ON. shutdown will also hang and needs a hard reset or a sysrq-b. The basic problem is a race between page table sharing and teardown. For the most part page table sharing depends on i_mmap_mutex. In some cases, it is also taking the mm->page_table_lock for the PTE updates but with shared page tables, it is the i_mmap_mutex that is more important. Unfortunately it appears to be also insufficient. Consider the following situation Process A Process B --------- --------- hugetlb_fault shmdt LockWrite(mmap_sem) do_munmap unmap_region unmap_vmas unmap_single_vma unmap_hugepage_range Lock(i_mmap_mutex) Lock(mm->page_table_lock) huge_pmd_unshare/unmap tables <--- (1) Unlock(mm->page_table_lock) Unlock(i_mmap_mutex) huge_pte_alloc ... Lock(i_mmap_mutex) ... vma_prio_walk, find svma, spte ... Lock(mm->page_table_lock) ... share spte ... Unlock(mm->page_table_lock) ... Unlock(i_mmap_mutex) ... hugetlb_no_page <--- (2) free_pgtables unlink_file_vma hugetlb_free_pgd_range remove_vma_list In this scenario, it is possible for Process A to share page tables with Process B that is trying to tear them down. The i_mmap_mutex on its own does not prevent Process A walking Process B's page tables. At (1) above, the page tables are not shared yet so it unmaps the PMDs. Process A sets up page table sharing and at (2) faults a new entry. Process B then trips up on it in free_pgtables. This patch fixes the problem by adding a new function __unmap_hugepage_range_final that is only called when the VMA is about to be destroyed. This function clears VM_MAYSHARE during unmap_hugepage_range() under the i_mmap_mutex. This makes the VMA ineligible for sharing and avoids the race. Superficially this looks like it would then be vunerable to truncate and madvise issues but hugetlbfs has its own truncate handlers so does not use unmap_mapping_range() and does not support madvise(DONTNEED). This should be treated as a -stable candidate if it is merged. Test program is as follows. The test case was mostly written by Michal Hocko with a few minor changes to reproduce this bug. ==== CUT HERE ==== static size_t huge_page_size = (2UL << 20); static size_t nr_huge_page_A = 512; static size_t nr_huge_page_B = 5632; unsigned int get_random(unsigned int max) { struct timeval tv; gettimeofday(&tv, NULL); srandom(tv.tv_usec); return random() % max; } static void play(void *addr, size_t size) { unsigned char *start = addr, *end = start + size, *a; start += get_random(size/2); /* we could itterate on huge pages but let's give it more time. */ for (a = start; a < end; a += 4096) *a = 0; } int main(int argc, char **argv) { key_t key = IPC_PRIVATE; size_t sizeA = nr_huge_page_A * huge_page_size; size_t sizeB = nr_huge_page_B * huge_page_size; int shmidA, shmidB; void *addrA = NULL, *addrB = NULL; int nr_children = 300, n = 0; if ((shmidA = shmget(key, sizeA, IPC_CREAT|SHM_HUGETLB|0660)) == -1) { perror("shmget:"); return 1; } if ((addrA = shmat(shmidA, addrA, SHM_R|SHM_W)) == (void *)-1UL) { perror("shmat"); return 1; } if ((shmidB = shmget(key, sizeB, IPC_CREAT|SHM_HUGETLB|0660)) == -1) { perror("shmget:"); return 1; } if ((addrB = shmat(shmidB, addrB, SHM_R|SHM_W)) == (void *)-1UL) { perror("shmat"); return 1; } fork_child: switch(fork()) { case 0: switch (n%3) { case 0: play(addrA, sizeA); break; case 1: play(addrB, sizeB); break; case 2: break; } break; case -1: perror("fork:"); break; default: if (++n < nr_children) goto fork_child; play(addrA, sizeA); break; } shmdt(addrA); shmdt(addrB); do { wait(NULL); } while (--n > 0); shmctl(shmidA, IPC_RMID, NULL); shmctl(shmidB, IPC_RMID, NULL); return 0; } [akpm@linux-foundation.org: name the declaration's args, fix CONFIG_HUGETLBFS=n build] Signed-off-by: NHugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Reviewed-by: NMichal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: NMel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The tile support for multiple-size huge pages requires tagging the hugetlb PTE with a "super" bit for PTEs that are multiples of the basic size of a pagetable span. To set that bit properly we need to tweak the PTe in make_huge_pte() based on the vma. This change provides the API for a subsequent tile-specific change to use.

hugetlbfs_{get,put}_quota() are badly named. They don't interact with the general quota handling code, and they don't much resemble its behaviour. Rather than being about maintaining limits on on-disk block usage by particular users, they are instead about maintaining limits on in-memory page usage (including anonymous MAP_PRIVATE copied-on-write pages) associated with a particular hugetlbfs filesystem instance. Worse, they work by having callbacks to the hugetlbfs filesystem code from the low-level page handling code, in particular from free_huge_page(). This is a layering violation of itself, but more importantly, if the kernel does a get_user_pages() on hugepages (which can happen from KVM amongst others), then the free_huge_page() can be delayed until after the associated inode has already been freed. If an unmount occurs at the wrong time, even the hugetlbfs superblock where the "quota" limits are stored may have been freed. Andrew Barry proposed a patch to fix this by having hugepages, instead of storing a pointer to their address_space and reaching the superblock from there, had the hugepages store pointers directly to the superblock, bumping the reference count as appropriate to avoid it being freed. Andrew Morton rejected that version, however, on the grounds that it made the existing layering violation worse. This is a reworked version of Andrew's patch, which removes the extra, and some of the existing, layering violation. It works by introducing the concept of a hugepage "subpool" at the lower hugepage mm layer - that is a finite logical pool of hugepages to allocate from. hugetlbfs now creates a subpool for each filesystem instance with a page limit set, and a pointer to the subpool gets added to each allocated hugepage, instead of the address_space pointer used now. The subpool has its own lifetime and is only freed once all pages in it _and_ all other references to it (i.e. superblocks) are gone. subpools are optional - a NULL subpool pointer is taken by the code to mean that no subpool limits are in effect. Previous discussion of this bug found in: "Fix refcounting in hugetlbfs quota handling.".

Make a couple of small cleanups to linux/include/hugetlb.h. The set_file_hugepages() function, which was not used anywhere is removed, and the hugetlbfs_config and hugetlbfs_inode_info structures with its HUGETLBFS_I helper function are moved into inode.c, the only place they were used. These structures are really linked to the hugetlbfs filesystem specifically not to hugepage mm handling in general, so they belong in the filesystem code not in a generally available header. It would be nice to move the hugetlbfs_sb_info (superblock) structure in there as well, but it's currently needed in a number of places via the hstate_vma() and hstate_inode().

Dummy, non-zero definitions for HPAGE_MASK and HPAGE_SIZE were added in 51c6f666 ("mm: ZAP_BLOCK causes redundant work") to avoid a divide by zero in generic kernel code. That code has since been removed, but probably should never have been added in the first place: we don't want HPAGE_SIZE to act like PAGE_SIZE for code that is working with hugepages, for example, when the dependency on CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE has not been fulfilled. Because hugepage size can differ from architecture to architecture, each is required to have their own definitions for both HPAGE_MASK and HPAGE_SIZE. This is always done in arch/*/include/asm/page.h. So, just remove the dummy and dangerous definitions since they are no longer needed and reveals the correct dependencies. Tested on architectures using the definitions with allyesconfig: x86 (even with thp), hppa, mips, powerpc, s390, sh3, sh4, sparc, and sparc64, and with defconfig on ia64.

This fixes a problem introduced with the hugetlb hwpoison handling The user space SIGBUS signalling wants to know the size of the hugepage that caused a HWPOISON fault. Unfortunately the architecture page fault handlers do not have easy access to the struct page. Pass the information out in the fault error code instead. I added a separate VM_FAULT_HWPOISON_LARGE bit for this case and encode the hpage index in some free upper bits of the fault code. The small page hwpoison keeps stays with the VM_FAULT_HWPOISON name to minimize changes. Also add code to hugetlb.h to convert that index into a page shift. Will be used in a further patch.

This patch adds reverse mapping feature for hugepage by introducing mapcount for shared/private-mapped hugepage and anon_vma for private-mapped hugepage. While hugepage is not currently swappable, reverse mapping can be useful for memory error handler. Without this patch, memory error handler cannot identify processes using the bad hugepage nor unmap it from them. That is: - for shared hugepage: we can collect processes using a hugepage through pagecache, but can not unmap the hugepage because of the lack of mapcount. - for privately mapped hugepage: we can neither collect processes nor unmap the hugepage.

This patch derives a "nodes_allowed" node mask from the numa mempolicy of the task modifying the number of persistent huge pages to control the allocation, freeing and adjusting of surplus huge pages when the pool page count is modified via the new sysctl or sysfs attribute "nr_hugepages_mempolicy". The nodes_allowed mask is derived as follows: * For "default" [NULL] task mempolicy, a NULL nodemask_t pointer is produced. This will cause the hugetlb subsystem to use node_online_map as the "nodes_allowed". This preserves the behavior before this patch. * For "preferred" mempolicy, including explicit local allocation, a nodemask with the single preferred node will be produced. "local" policy will NOT track any internode migrations of the task adjusting nr_hugepages. * For "bind" and "interleave" policy, the mempolicy's nodemask will be used. * Other than to inform the construction of the nodes_allowed node mask, the actual mempolicy mode is ignored. That is, all modes behave like interleave over the resulting nodes_allowed mask with no "fallback". See the updated documentation [next patch] for more information about the implications of this patch. Examples: Starting with: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 0 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 0 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 0 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 0 Default behavior [with or without this patch] balances persistent hugepage allocation across nodes [with sufficient contiguous memory]: sysctl vm.nr_hugepages[_mempolicy]=32 yields: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8 Of course, we only have nr_hugepages_mempolicy with the patch, but with default mempolicy, nr_hugepages_mempolicy behaves the same as nr_hugepages. Applying mempolicy--e.g., with numactl [using '-m' a.k.a. '--membind' because it allows multiple nodes to be specified and it's easy to type]--we can allocate huge pages on individual nodes or sets of nodes. So, starting from the condition above, with 8 huge pages per node, add 8 more to node 2 using: numactl -m 2 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=40 This yields: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 16 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8 The incremental 8 huge pages were restricted to node 2 by the specified mempolicy. Similarly, we can use mempolicy to free persistent huge pages from specified nodes: numactl -m 0,1 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=32 yields: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 4 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 4 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 16 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8 The 8 huge pages freed were balanced over nodes 0 and 1.

Add a flag for mmap that will be used to request a huge page region that will look like anonymous memory to userspace. This is accomplished by using a file on the internal vfsmount. MAP_HUGETLB is a modifier of MAP_ANONYMOUS and so must be specified with it. The region will behave the same as a MAP_ANONYMOUS region using small pages.

This patchset adds a flag to mmap that allows the user to request that an anonymous mapping be backed with huge pages. This mapping will borrow functionality from the huge page shm code to create a file on the kernel internal mount and use it to approximate an anonymous mapping. The MAP_HUGETLB flag is a modifier to MAP_ANONYMOUS and will not work without both flags being preset. A new flag is necessary because there is no other way to hook into huge pages without creating a file on a hugetlbfs mount which wouldn't be MAP_ANONYMOUS. To userspace, this mapping will behave just like an anonymous mapping because the file is not accessible outside of the kernel. This patchset is meant to simplify the programming model. Presently there is a large chunk of boiler platecode, contained in libhugetlbfs, required to create private, hugepage backed mappings. This patch set would allow use of hugepages without linking to libhugetlbfs or having hugetblfs mounted. Unification of the VM code would provide these same benefits, but it has been resisted each time that it has been suggested for several reasons: it would break PAGE_SIZE assumptions across the kernel, it makes page-table abstractions really expensive, and it does not provide any benefit on architectures that do not support huge pages, incurring fast path penalties without providing any benefit on these architectures. This patch: There are two means of creating mappings backed by huge pages: 1. mmap() a file created on hugetlbfs 2. Use shm which creates a file on an internal mount which essentially maps it MAP_SHARED The internal mount is only used for shared mappings but there is very little that stops it being used for private mappings. This patch extends hugetlbfs_file_setup() to deal with the creation of files that will be mapped MAP_PRIVATE on the internal hugetlbfs mount. This extended API is used in a subsequent patch to implement the MAP_HUGETLB mmap() flag.
