DM was calling generic_fsdax_supported() to determine whether a device referenced in the DM table supports DAX. However this is a helper for "leaf" device drivers so that they don't have to duplicate common generic checks. High level code should call dax_supported() helper which that calls into appropriate helper for the particular device. This problem manifested itself as kernel messages: dm-3: error: dax access failed (-95) when lvm2-testsuite run in cases where a DM device was stacked on top of another DM device.

virtiofs device has a range of memory which is mapped into file inodes using dax. This memory is mapped in qemu on host and maps different sections of real file on host. Size of this memory is limited (determined by administrator) and depending on filesystem size, we will soon reach a situation where all the memory is in use and we need to reclaim some. As part of reclaim process, we will need to make sure that there are no active references to pages (taken by get_user_pages()) on the memory range we are trying to reclaim. I am planning to use dax_layout_busy_page() for this. But in current form this is per inode and scans through all the pages of the inode. We want to reclaim only a portion of memory (say 2MB page). So we want to make sure that only that 2MB range of pages do not have any references (and don't want to unmap all the pages of inode). Hence, create a range version of this function named dax_layout_busy_page_range() which can be used to pass a range which needs to be unmapped.

Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2. The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once. For instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported architectures. Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils down to, e.g. static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address) { return (address >> PMD_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1); } static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address) { return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address); } These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined. For architectures that really need a custom version there is always possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic. These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table accessors to the new header. This patch (of 12): The linux/mm.h header includes <asm/pgtable.h> to allow inlining of the functions involving page table manipulations, e.g. pte_alloc() and pmd_alloc(). So, there is no point to explicitly include <asm/pgtable.h> in the files that include <linux/mm.h>. The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop: for f in $(git grep -l "include <linux/mm.h>") ; do sed -i -e '/include <asm\/pgtable.h>/ d' $f done Signed-off-by: NMike Rapoport <rppt@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Cain <bcain@codeaurora.org> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Chris Zankel <chris@zankel.net> Cc: "David S.

Add a dax operation zero_page_range, to zero a page. This will also clear any known poison in the page being zeroed. As of now, zeroing of one page is allowed in a single call. There are no callers which are trying to zero more than a page in a single call. Once we grow the callers which zero more than a page in single call, we can add that support. Primary reason for not doing that yet is that this will add little complexity in dm implementation where a range might be spanning multiple underlying targets and one will have to split the range into multiple sub ranges and call zero_page_range() on individual targets.

Looks like nobody is using fs_dax_get_by_host() except fs_dax_get_by_bdev() and it can easily use dax_get_by_host() instead. IIUC, fs_dax_get_by_host() was only introduced so that one could compile with CONFIG_FS_DAX=n and CONFIG_DAX=m. fs_dax_get_by_bdev() achieves the same purpose and hence it looks like fs_dax_get_by_host() is not needed anymore.

As of now dax_writeback_mapping_range() takes "struct block_device" as a parameter and dax_dev is searched from bdev name. This also involves taking a fresh reference on dax_dev and putting that reference at the end of function. We are developing a new filesystem virtio-fs and using dax to access host page cache directly. But there is no block device. IOW, we want to make use of dax but want to get rid of this assumption that there is always a block device associated with dax_dev. So pass in "struct dax_device" as parameter instead of bdev. ext2/ext4/xfs are current users and they already have a reference on dax_device. So there is no need to take reference and drop reference to dax_device on each call of this function.

Pankaj reports that starting with commit ad428cdb "dax: Check the end of the block-device capacity with dax_direct_access()" device-mapper no longer allows dax operation. This results from the stricter checks in __bdev_dax_supported() that validate that the start and end of a block-device map to the same 'pagemap' instance. Teach the dax-core and device-mapper to validate the 'pagemap' on a per-target basis. This is accomplished by refactoring the bdev_dax_supported() internals into generic_fsdax_supported() which takes a sector range to validate. Consequently generic_fsdax_supported() is suitable to be used in a device-mapper ->iterate_devices() callback. A new ->dax_supported() operation is added to allow composite devices to split and route upper-level bdev_dax_supported() requests. Fixes: ad428cdb ("dax: Check the end of the block-device...")

Internal to dax_unlock_mapping_entry(), dax_unlock_entry() is used to store a replacement entry in the Xarray at the given xas-index with the DAX_LOCKED bit clear. When called, dax_unlock_entry() expects the unlocked value of the entry relative to the current Xarray state to be specified. In most contexts dax_unlock_entry() is operating in the same scope as the matched dax_lock_entry(). However, in the dax_unlock_mapping_entry() case the implementation needs to recall the original entry. In the case where the original entry is a 'pmd' entry it is possible that the pfn performed to do the lookup is misaligned to the value retrieved in the Xarray. Change the api to return the unlock cookie from dax_lock_page() and pass it to dax_unlock_page(). This fixes a bug where dax_unlock_page() was assuming that the page was PMD-aligned if the entry was a PMD entry with signatures like: WARNING: CPU: 38 PID: 1396 at fs/dax.c:340 dax_insert_entry+0x2b2/0x2d0 RIP: 0010:dax_insert_entry+0x2b2/0x2d0 [..] Call Trace: dax_iomap_pte_fault.isra.41+0x791/0xde0 ext4_dax_huge_fault+0x16f/0x1f0 ? up_read+0x1c/0xa0 __do_fault+0x1f/0x160 __handle_mm_fault+0x1033/0x1490 handle_mm_fault+0x18b/0x3d0 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181130154902.GL10377@bombadil.infradead.org Fixes: 9f32d221 ("dax: Convert dax_lock_mapping_entry to XArray") Reported-by: NDan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NMatthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> Tested-by: NDan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Reviewed-by: NJan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: NDan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

In preparation for implementing support for memory poison (media error) handling via dax mappings, implement a lock_page() equivalent. Poison error handling requires rmap and needs guarantees that the page->mapping association is maintained / valid (inode not freed) for the duration of the lookup. In the device-dax case it is sufficient to simply hold a dev_pagemap reference. In the filesystem-dax case we need to use the entry lock. Export the entry lock via dax_lock_mapping_entry() that uses rcu_read_lock() to protect against the inode being freed, and revalidates the page->mapping association under xa_lock().

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler. For now, this is just documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an errno. Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a distinct type. commit 1c8f4220 ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t") There was an existing bug inside dax_load_hole() if vm_insert_mixed had failed to allocate a page table, we'd return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE instead of VM_FAULT_OOM. With new vmf_insert_mixed() this issue is addressed. vm_insert_mixed_mkwrite has inefficiency when it returns an error value, driver has to convert it to vm_fault_t type. With new vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite() this limitation will be addressed.

This patch fixes the problem where we screw up the dax support checking in xfs if the datadev and rtdev have different dax capabilities. Signed-off-by: NDarrick J.

Similar to the ->copy_from_iter() operation, a platform may want to deploy an architecture or device specific routine for handling reads from a dax_device like /dev/pmemX. On x86 this routine will point to a machine check safe version of copy_to_iter(). For now, add the plumbing to device-mapper and the dax core.

Background: get_user_pages() in the filesystem pins file backed memory pages for access by devices performing dma. However, it only pins the memory pages not the page-to-file offset association. If a file is truncated the pages are mapped out of the file and dma may continue indefinitely into a page that is owned by a device driver. This breaks coherency of the file vs dma, but the assumption is that if userspace wants the file-space truncated it does not matter what data is inbound from the device, it is not relevant anymore. The only expectation is that dma can safely continue while the filesystem reallocates the block(s). Problem: This expectation that dma can safely continue while the filesystem changes the block map is broken by dax. With dax the target dma page *is* the filesystem block. The model of leaving the page pinned for dma, but truncating the file block out of the file, means that the filesytem is free to reallocate a block under active dma to another file and now the expected data-incoherency situation has turned into active data-corruption. Solution: Defer all filesystem operations (fallocate(), truncate()) on a dax mode file while any page/block in the file is under active dma. This solution assumes that dma is transient. Cases where dma operations are known to not be transient, like RDMA, have been explicitly disabled via commits like 5f1d43de "IB/core: disable memory registration of filesystem-dax vmas". The dax_layout_busy_page() routine is called by filesystems with a lock held against mm faults (i_mmap_lock) to find pinned / busy dax pages. The process of looking up a busy page invalidates all mappings to trigger any subsequent get_user_pages() to block on i_mmap_lock. The filesystem continues to call dax_layout_busy_page() until it finally returns no more active pages. This approach assumes that the page pinning is transient, if that assumption is violated the system would have likely hung from the uncompleted I/O.

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.

Commit abebfbe2 ("dm: add ->flush() dax operation support") is buggy. A DM device may be composed of multiple underlying devices and all of them need to be flushed. That commit just routes the flush request to the first device and ignores the other devices. It could be fixed by adding more complex logic to the device mapper. But there is only one implementation of the method pmem_dax_ops->flush - that is pmem_dax_flush() - and it calls arch_wb_cache_pmem(). Consequently, we don't need the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction at all, we can call arch_wb_cache_pmem() directly from dax_flush() because dax_dev->ops->flush can't ever reach anything different from arch_wb_cache_pmem(). It should be also pointed out that for some uses of persistent memory it is needed to flush only a very small amount of data (such as 1 cacheline), and it would be overkill if we go through that device mapper machinery for a single flushed cache line. Fix this by removing the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction and call arch_wb_cache_pmem() directly from dax_flush(). Also, remove the device mapper code that forwards the flushes.

When servicing mmap() reads from file holes the current DAX code allocates a page cache page of all zeroes and places the struct page pointer in the mapping->page_tree radix tree. This has three major drawbacks: 1) It consumes memory unnecessarily. For every 4k page that is read via a DAX mmap() over a hole, we allocate a new page cache page. This means that if you read 1GiB worth of pages, you end up using 1GiB of zeroed memory. This is easily visible by looking at the overall memory consumption of the system or by looking at /proc/[pid]/smaps: 7f62e72b3000-7f63272b3000 rw-s 00000000 103:00 12 /root/dax/data Size: 1048576 kB Rss: 1048576 kB Pss: 1048576 kB Shared_Clean: 0 kB Shared_Dirty: 0 kB Private_Clean: 1048576 kB Private_Dirty: 0 kB Referenced: 1048576 kB Anonymous: 0 kB LazyFree: 0 kB AnonHugePages: 0 kB ShmemPmdMapped: 0 kB Shared_Hugetlb: 0 kB Private_Hugetlb: 0 kB Swap: 0 kB SwapPss: 0 kB KernelPageSize: 4 kB MMUPageSize: 4 kB Locked: 0 kB 2) It is slower than using a common zero page because each page fault has more work to do. Instead of just inserting a common zero page we have to allocate a page cache page, zero it, and then insert it. Here are the average latencies of dax_load_hole() as measured by ftrace on a random test box: Old method, using zeroed page cache pages: 3.4 us New method, using the common 4k zero page: 0.8 us This was the average latency over 1 GiB of sequential reads done by this simple fio script: [global] size=1G filename=/root/dax/data fallocate=none [io] rw=read ioengine=mmap 3) The fact that we had to check for both DAX exceptional entries and for page cache pages in the radix tree made the DAX code more complex. Solve these issues by following the lead of the DAX PMD code and using a common 4k zero page instead. As with the PMD code we will now insert a DAX exceptional entry into the radix tree instead of a struct page pointer which allows us to remove all the special casing in the DAX code. Note that we do still pretty aggressively check for regular pages in the DAX radix tree, especially where we take action based on the bits set in the page. If we ever find a regular page in our radix tree now that most likely means that someone besides DAX is inserting pages (which has happened lots of times in the past), and we want to find that out early and fail loudly. This solution also removes the extra memory consumption. Here is that same /proc/[pid]/smaps after 1GiB of reading from a hole with the new code: 7f2054a74000-7f2094a74000 rw-s 00000000 103:00 12 /root/dax/data Size: 1048576 kB Rss: 0 kB Pss: 0 kB Shared_Clean: 0 kB Shared_Dirty: 0 kB Private_Clean: 0 kB Private_Dirty: 0 kB Referenced: 0 kB Anonymous: 0 kB LazyFree: 0 kB AnonHugePages: 0 kB ShmemPmdMapped: 0 kB Shared_Hugetlb: 0 kB Private_Hugetlb: 0 kB Swap: 0 kB SwapPss: 0 kB KernelPageSize: 4 kB MMUPageSize: 4 kB Locked: 0 kB Overall system memory consumption is similarly improved. Another major change is that we remove dax_pfn_mkwrite() from our fault flow, and instead rely on the page fault itself to make the PTE dirty and writeable. The following description from the patch adding the vm_insert_mixed_mkwrite() call explains this a little more: "To be able to use the common 4k zero page in DAX we need to have our PTE fault path look more like our PMD fault path where a PTE entry can be marked as dirty and writeable as it is first inserted rather than waiting for a follow-up dax_pfn_mkwrite() => finish_mkwrite_fault() call. Right now we can rely on having a dax_pfn_mkwrite() call because we can distinguish between these two cases in do_wp_page(): case 1: 4k zero page => writable DAX storage case 2: read-only DAX storage => writeable DAX storage This distinction is made by via vm_normal_page(). vm_normal_page() returns false for the common 4k zero page, though, just as it does for DAX ptes. Instead of special casing the DAX + 4k zero page case we will simplify our DAX PTE page fault sequence so that it matches our DAX PMD sequence, and get rid of the dax_pfn_mkwrite() helper. We will instead use dax_iomap_fault() to handle write-protection faults. This means that insert_pfn() needs to follow the lead of insert_pfn_pmd() and allow us to pass in a 'mkwrite' flag. If 'mkwrite' is set insert_pfn() will do the work that was previously done by wp_page_reuse() as part of the dax_pfn_mkwrite() call path" Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170724170616.25810-4-ross.zwisler@linux.intel.comSigned-off-by: NRoss Zwisler <ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: NJan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: "Darrick J.

The madvise policy for transparent huge pages is meant to avoid unwanted allocations of transparent huge pages. It allows a policy of disabling the extra memory pressure and effort to arrange for a huge page when it is not needed. DAX by definition never incurs this overhead since it is statically allocated. The policy choice makes even less sense for device-dax which tries to guarantee a given tlb-fault size. Specifically, the following setting: echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled ...violates that guarantee and silently disables all device-dax instances with a 2M or 1G alignment. So, let's avoid that non-obvious side effect by force enabling thp for dax mappings in all cases. It is worth noting that the reason this uses vma_is_dax(), and the resulting header include changes, is that previous attempts to add a VM_DAX flag were NAKd.
