      mm, thp: move ptl taking inside page_check_address_pmd() · 117b0791
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      With split page table lock we can't know which lock we need to take
      before we find the relevant pmd.
      
      Let's move lock taking inside the function.

      mm, thp: change pmd_trans_huge_lock() to return taken lock · bf929152
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      With split ptlock it's important to know which lock
      pmd_trans_huge_lock() took.  This patch adds one more parameter to the
      function to return the lock.
      
      In most places migration to new api is trivial.  Exception is
      move_huge_pmd(): we need to take two locks if pmd tables are different.

      mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable · 4fc3f1d6
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() appears to be too
      careful about locking the anon vma: while it needs protection
      against anon vma list modifications, it does not need exclusive
      access to the list itself.
      
      Transforming this exclusive lock to a read-locked rwsem removes
      a global lock from the hot path of page-migration intense
      threaded workloads which can cause pathological performance like
      this:

      With this change applied the profile is now nicely flat

      Rename anon_vma_[un]lock() => anon_vma_[un]lock_write(),
      to make it clearer that it's an exclusive write-lock in
      that case - suggested by Rik van Riel.

      Mel Gorman 提交于
      This patch converts change_prot_numa() to use change_protection(). As
      pte_numa and friends check the PTE bits directly it is necessary for
      change_protection() to use pmd_mknuma(). Hence the required
      modifications to change_protection() are a little clumsy but the
      end result is that most of the numa page table helpers are just one or
      two instructions.

      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Note: This patch started as "mm/mpol: Create special PROT_NONE
      	infrastructure" and preserves the basic idea but steals *very*
      	heavily from "autonuma: numa hinting page faults entry points" for
      	the actual fault handlers without the migration parts.	The end
      	result is barely recognisable as either patch so all Signed-off
      	and Reviewed-bys are dropped. If Peter, Ingo and Andrea are ok with
      	this version, I will re-add the signed-offs-by to reflect the history.
      
      In order to facilitate a lazy -- fault driven -- migration of pages, create
      a special transient PAGE_NUMA variant, we can then use the 'spurious'
      protection faults to drive our migrations from.
      
      The meaning of PAGE_NUMA depends on the architecture but on x86 it is
      effectively PROT_NONE. Actual PROT_NONE mappings will not generate these
      NUMA faults for the reason that the page fault code checks the permission on
      the VMA (and will throw a segmentation fault on actual PROT_NONE mappings),
      before it ever calls handle_mm_fault.

      mm, thp: fix mapped pages avoiding unevictable list on mlock · b676b293
      David Rientjes 提交于
      When a transparent hugepage is mapped and it is included in an mlock()
      range, follow_page() incorrectly avoids setting the page's mlock bit and
      moving it to the unevictable lru.
      
      This is evident if you try to mlock(), munlock(), and then mlock() a
      range again.  Currently:
      
      	#define MAP_SIZE	(4 << 30)	/* 4GB */
      
      	void *ptr = mmap(NULL, MAP_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
      			 MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);
      	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);
      
      		$ grep -E "Unevictable|Inactive\(anon" /proc/meminfo
      		Inactive(anon):     6304 kB
      		Unevictable:     4213924 kB
      
      	munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);
      
      		Inactive(anon):  4186252 kB
      		Unevictable:       19652 kB
      
      	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);
      
      		Inactive(anon):  4198556 kB
      		Unevictable:       21684 kB
      
      Notice that less than 2MB was added to the unevictable list; this is
      because these pages in the range are not transparent hugepages since the
      4GB range was allocated with mmap() and has no specific alignment.  If
      posix_memalign() were used instead, unevictable would not have grown at
      all on the second mlock().
      
      The fix is to call mlock_vma_page() so that the mlock bit is set and the
      page is added to the unevictable list.  With this patch:
      
      	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);
      
      		Inactive(anon):     4056 kB
      		Unevictable:     4213940 kB
      
      	munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);
      
      		Inactive(anon):  4198268 kB
      		Unevictable:       19636 kB
      
      	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

      thp: remove assumptions on pgtable_t type · e3ebcf64
      Gerald Schaefer 提交于
      The thp page table pre-allocation code currently assumes that pgtable_t is
      of type "struct page *".  This may not be true for all architectures, so
      this patch removes that assumption by replacing the functions
      prepare_pmd_huge_pte() and get_pmd_huge_pte() with two new functions that
      can be defined architecture-specific.
      
      It also removes two VM_BUG_ON checks for page_count() and page_mapcount()
      operating on a pgtable_t.  Apart from the VM_BUG_ON removal, there will be
      no functional change introduced by this patch.

      is_vma_temporary_stack() isn't referenced in huge_mm.h, so it has compile

        arch/x86/mm/tlb.c:324:4: error: implicit declaration of function `is_vma_temporary_stack' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
      
      Since is_vma_temporay_stack() is just used in rmap.c and huge_memory.c, it
      is better to move it to huge_mm.h from rmap.h to avoid such errors.

      thp: add tlb_remove_pmd_tlb_entry · f21760b1
      Shaohua Li 提交于
      We have tlb_remove_tlb_entry to indicate a pte tlb flush entry should be
      flushed, but not a corresponding API for pmd entry.  This isn't a
      problem so far because THP is only for x86 currently and tlb_flush()
      under x86 will flush entire TLB.  But this is confusion and could be
      missed if thp is ported to other arch.
      
      Also convert tlb->need_flush = 1 to a VM_BUG_ON(!tlb->need_flush) in
      __tlb_remove_page() as suggested by Andrea Arcangeli.  The
      __tlb_remove_page() function is supposed to be called after
      tlb_remove_xxx_tlb_entry() and we can catch any misuse.

      mm: thp: fix /dev/zero MAP_PRIVATE and vm_flags cleanups · 78f11a25
      Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
      The huge_memory.c THP page fault was allowed to run if vm_ops was null
      (which would succeed for /dev/zero MAP_PRIVATE, as the f_op->mmap wouldn't
      setup a special vma->vm_ops and it would fallback to regular anonymous
      memory) but other THP logics weren't fully activated for vmas with vm_file
      not NULL (/dev/zero has a not NULL vma->vm_file).
      
      So this removes the vm_file checks so that /dev/zero also can safely use
      THP (the other albeit safer approach to fix this bug would have been to
      prevent the THP initial page fault to run if vm_file was set).
      
      After removing the vm_file checks, this also makes huge_memory.c stricter
      in khugepaged for the DEBUG_VM=y case.  It doesn't replace the vm_file
      check with a is_pfn_mapping check (but it keeps checking for VM_PFNMAP
      under VM_BUG_ON) because for a is_cow_mapping() mapping VM_PFNMAP should
      only be allowed to exist before the first page fault, and in turn when
      vma->anon_vma is null (so preventing khugepaged registration).  So I tend
      to think the previous comment saying if vm_file was set, VM_PFNMAP might
      have been set and we could still be registered in khugepaged (despite
      anon_vma was not NULL to be registered in khugepaged) was too paranoid.
      The is_linear_pfn_mapping check is also I think superfluous (as described
      by comment) but under DEBUG_VM it is safe to stay.

      thp: avoid breaking huge pmd invariants in case of vma_adjust failures · 94fcc585
      Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
      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.

      thp: khugepaged · ba76149f
      Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
      Add khugepaged to relocate fragmented pages into hugepages if new
      hugepages become available.  (this is indipendent of the defrag logic that
      will have to make new hugepages available)
      
      The fundamental reason why khugepaged is unavoidable, is that some memory
      can be fragmented and not everything can be relocated.  So when a virtual
      machine quits and releases gigabytes of hugepages, we want to use those
      freely available hugepages to create huge-pmd in the other virtual
      machines that may be running on fragmented memory, to maximize the CPU
      efficiency at all times.  The scan is slow, it takes nearly zero cpu time,
      except when it copies data (in which case it means we definitely want to
      pay for that cpu time) so it seems a good tradeoff.
      
      In addition to the hugepages being released by other process releasing
      memory, we have the strong suspicion that the performance impact of
      potentially defragmenting hugepages during or before each page fault could
      lead to more performance inconsistency than allocating small pages at
      first and having them collapsed into large pages later...  if they prove
      themselfs to be long lived mappings (khugepaged scan is slow so short
      lived mappings have low probability to run into khugepaged if compared to
      long lived mappings).

      thp: transparent hugepage core · 71e3aac0
      Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
      Lately I've been working to make KVM use hugepages transparently without
      the usual restrictions of hugetlbfs.  Some of the restrictions I'd like to
      see removed:
      
      1) hugepages have to be swappable or the guest physical memory remains
         locked in RAM and can't be paged out to swap
      
      2) if a hugepage allocation fails, regular pages should be allocated
         instead and mixed in the same vma without any failure and without
         userland noticing
      
      3) if some task quits and more hugepages become available in the
         buddy, guest physical memory backed by regular pages should be
         relocated on hugepages automatically in regions under
         madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) (ideally event driven by waking up the
         kernel deamon if the order=HPAGE_PMD_SHIFT-PAGE_SHIFT list becomes
         not null)
      
      4) avoidance of reservation and maximization of use of hugepages whenever
         possible. Reservation (needed to avoid runtime fatal faliures) may be ok for
         1 machine with 1 database with 1 database cache with 1 database cache size
         known at boot time. It's definitely not feasible with a virtualization
         hypervisor usage like RHEV-H that runs an unknown number of virtual machines
         with an unknown size of each virtual machine with an unknown amount of
         pagecache that could be potentially useful in the host for guest not using
         O_DIRECT (aka cache=off).
      
      hugepages in the virtualization hypervisor (and also in the guest!) are
      much more important than in a regular host not using virtualization,
      becasue with NPT/EPT they decrease the tlb-miss cacheline accesses from 24
      to 19 in case only the hypervisor uses transparent hugepages, and they
      decrease the tlb-miss cacheline accesses from 19 to 15 in case both the
      linux hypervisor and the linux guest both uses this patch (though the
      guest will limit the addition speedup to anonymous regions only for
      now...).  Even more important is that the tlb miss handler is much slower
      on a NPT/EPT guest than for a regular shadow paging or no-virtualization
      scenario.  So maximizing the amount of virtual memory cached by the TLB
      pays off significantly more with NPT/EPT than without (even if there would
      be no significant speedup in the tlb-miss runtime).
      
      The first (and more tedious) part of this work requires allowing the VM to
      handle anonymous hugepages mixed with regular pages transparently on
      regular anonymous vmas.  This is what this patch tries to achieve in the
      least intrusive possible way.  We want hugepages and hugetlb to be used in
      a way so that all applications can benefit without changes (as usual we
      leverage the KVM virtualization design: by improving the Linux VM at
      large, KVM gets the performance boost too).
      
      The most important design choice is: always fallback to 4k allocation if
      the hugepage allocation fails!  This is the _very_ opposite of some large
      pagecache patches that failed with -EIO back then if a 64k (or similar)
      allocation failed...
      
      Second important decision (to reduce the impact of the feature on the
      existing pagetable handling code) is that at any time we can split an
      hugepage into 512 regular pages and it has to be done with an operation
      that can't fail.  This way the reliability of the swapping isn't decreased
      (no need to allocate memory when we are short on memory to swap) and it's
      trivial to plug a split_huge_page* one-liner where needed without
      polluting the VM.  Over time we can teach mprotect, mremap and friends to
      handle pmd_trans_huge natively without calling split_huge_page*.  The fact
      it can't fail isn't just for swap: if split_huge_page would return -ENOMEM
      (instead of the current void) we'd need to rollback the mprotect from the
      middle of it (ideally including undoing the split_vma) which would be a
      big change and in the very wrong direction (it'd likely be simpler not to
      call split_huge_page at all and to teach mprotect and friends to handle
      hugepages instead of rolling them back from the middle).  In short the
      very value of split_huge_page is that it can't fail.
      
      The collapsing and madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) part will remain separated and
      incremental and it'll just be an "harmless" addition later if this initial
      part is agreed upon.  It also should be noted that locking-wise replacing
      regular pages with hugepages is going to be very easy if compared to what
      I'm doing below in split_huge_page, as it will only happen when
      page_count(page) matches page_mapcount(page) if we can take the PG_lock
      and mmap_sem in write mode.  collapse_huge_page will be a "best effort"
      that (unlike split_huge_page) can fail at the minimal sign of trouble and
      we can try again later.  collapse_huge_page will be similar to how KSM
      works and the madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) will work similar to
      madvise(MADV_MERGEABLE).
      
      The default I like is that transparent hugepages are used at page fault
      time.  This can be changed with
      /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled.  The control knob can be set
      to three values "always", "madvise", "never" which mean respectively that
      hugepages are always used, or only inside madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) regions,
      or never used.  /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag instead
      controls if the hugepage allocation should defrag memory aggressively
      "always", only inside "madvise" regions, or "never".
      
      The pmd_trans_splitting/pmd_trans_huge locking is very solid.  The
      put_page (from get_user_page users that can't use mmu notifier like
      O_DIRECT) that runs against a __split_huge_page_refcount instead was a
      pain to serialize in a way that would result always in a coherent page
      count for both tail and head.  I think my locking solution with a
      compound_lock taken only after the page_first is valid and is still a
      PageHead should be safe but it surely needs review from SMP race point of
      view.  In short there is no current existing way to serialize the O_DIRECT
      final put_page against split_huge_page_refcount so I had to invent a new
      one (O_DIRECT loses knowledge on the mapping status by the time gup_fast
      returns so...).  And I didn't want to impact all gup/gup_fast users for
      now, maybe if we change the gup interface substantially we can avoid this
      locking, I admit I didn't think too much about it because changing the gup
      unpinning interface would be invasive.
      
      If we ignored O_DIRECT we could stick to the existing compound refcounting
      code, by simply adding a get_user_pages_fast_flags(foll_flags) where KVM
      (and any other mmu notifier user) would call it without FOLL_GET (and if
      FOLL_GET isn't set we'd just BUG_ON if nobody registered itself in the
      current task mmu notifier list yet).  But O_DIRECT is fundamental for
      decent performance of virtualized I/O on fast storage so we can't avoid it
      to solve the race of put_page against split_huge_page_refcount to achieve
      a complete hugepage feature for KVM.
      
      Swap and oom works fine (well just like with regular pages ;).  MMU
      notifier is handled transparently too, with the exception of the young bit
      on the pmd, that didn't have a range check but I think KVM will be fine
      because the whole point of hugepages is that EPT/NPT will also use a huge
      pmd when they notice gup returns pages with PageCompound set, so they
      won't care of a range and there's just the pmd young bit to check in that
      case.
      
      NOTE: in some cases if the L2 cache is small, this may slowdown and waste
      memory during COWs because 4M of memory are accessed in a single fault
      instead of 8k (the payoff is that after COW the program can run faster).
      So we might want to switch the copy_huge_page (and clear_huge_page too) to
      not temporal stores.  I also extensively researched ways to avoid this
      cache trashing with a full prefault logic that would cow in 8k/16k/32k/64k
      up to 1M (I can send those patches that fully implemented prefault) but I
      concluded they're not worth it and they add an huge additional complexity
      and they remove all tlb benefits until the full hugepage has been faulted
      in, to save a little bit of memory and some cache during app startup, but
      they still don't improve substantially the cache-trashing during startup
      if the prefault happens in >4k chunks.  One reason is that those 4k pte
      entries copied are still mapped on a perfectly cache-colored hugepage, so
      the trashing is the worst one can generate in those copies (cow of 4k page
      copies aren't so well colored so they trashes less, but again this results
      in software running faster after the page fault).  Those prefault patches
      allowed things like a pte where post-cow pages were local 4k regular anon
      pages and the not-yet-cowed pte entries were pointing in the middle of
      some hugepage mapped read-only.  If it doesn't payoff substantially with
      todays hardware it will payoff even less in the future with larger l2
      caches, and the prefault logic would blot the VM a lot.  If one is
      emebdded transparent_hugepage can be disabled during boot with sysfs or
      with the boot commandline parameter transparent_hugepage=0 (or
      transparent_hugepage=2 to restrict hugepages inside madvise regions) that
      will ensure not a single hugepage is allocated at boot time.  It is simple
      enough to just disable transparent hugepage globally and let transparent
      hugepages be allocated selectively by applications in the MADV_HUGEPAGE
      region (both at page fault time, and if enabled with the
      collapse_huge_page too through the kernel daemon).
      
      This patch supports only hugepages mapped in the pmd, archs that have
      smaller hugepages will not fit in this patch alone.  Also some archs like
      power have certain tlb limits that prevents mixing different page size in
      the same regions so they will not fit in this framework that requires
      "graceful fallback" to basic PAGE_SIZE in case of physical memory
      fragmentation.  hugetlbfs remains a perfect fit for those because its
      software limits happen to match the hardware limits.  hugetlbfs also
      remains a perfect fit for hugepage sizes like 1GByte that cannot be hoped
      to be found not fragmented after a certain system uptime and that would be
      very expensive to defragment with relocation, so requiring reservation.
      hugetlbfs is the "reservation way", the point of transparent hugepages is
      not to have any reservation at all and maximizing the use of cache and
      hugepages at all times automatically.
