With THP we set pmd to none, before we do pte_clear. Hence we can't walk page table to get the pte lock ptr and verify whether it is locked. THP do take pte lock before calling pte_clear. So we don't change the locking rules here. It is that we can't use page table walking to check whether pte locks are held with THP.

GCC is very likely to read the pagetables just once and cache them in the local stack or in a register, but it is can also decide to re-read the pagetables. The problem is that the pagetable in those places can change from under gcc. With THP/hugetlbfs the pmd (and pgd for hugetlbfs giga pages) can change under gup_fast. The pages won't be freed untill we finish gup fast because we have irq disabled and we free these pages via rcu callback.

We need to have irqs disabled to handle all the possible parallel update for linux page table without holding locks. Events that we are intersted in while walking page tables are 1) Page fault 2) umap 3) THP split 4) THP collapse A) local_irq_disabled: ------------------------ 1) page fault: A none to valid transition via page fault is not an issue because we would either see a none or valid. If it is none, we would error out the page table walk. We may need to use on stack values when checking for type of page table elements, because if we do if (!is_hugepd()) { if (!pmd_none() { if (pmd_bad() { We could take that bad condition because the pmd got converted to a hugepd after the !is_hugepd check via a hugetlb fault. The right way would be to check for pmd_none higher up or use on stack value. 2) A valid to none conversion via unmap: We can safely walk the upper level table, because we don't remove the the page table entries until rcu grace period. So even if we followed a wrong pointer we still have the pointer valid till the grace period. A PTE pointer returned need to be atomically checked for _PAGE_PRESENT and _PAGE_BUSY. A valid pointer returned could becoming none later. To prevent pte_clear we take _PAGE_BUSY. 3) THP split: A valid transparent hugepage is converted to nomal page. Before we split we do pmd_splitting_flush, which sets the hugepage PTE to _PAGE_SPLITTING So when walking page table we need to check for pmd_trans_splitting and handle that. The pte returned should also need to be checked for _PAGE_SPLITTING before setting _PAGE_BUSY similar to _PAGE_PRESENT. We save the value of PTE on stack and check for the flag in the local pte value. If we don't have the value set we can safely operate on the local pte value and we atomicaly set _PAGE_BUSY. 4) THP collapse: A normal page gets converted to hugepage. In the collapse path, we mark the pmd none early (pmdp_clear_flush). With irq disabled, if we are aleady walking page table we would see the pmd_none and won't continue. If we see a valid PMD, we should still check for _PAGE_PRESENT before setting _PAGE_BUSY, to make sure we didn't collapse the PTE to a Huge PTE.

We now have pmd entries covering 16MB range and the PMD table double its original size. We use the second half of the PMD table to deposit the pgtable (PTE page). The depoisted PTE page is further used to track the HPTE information. The information include [ secondary group | 3 bit hidx | valid ]. We use one byte per each HPTE entry. With 16MB hugepage and 64K HPTE we need 256 entries and with 4K HPTE we need 4096 entries. Both will fit in a 4K PTE page. On hugepage invalidate we need to walk the PTE page and invalidate all valid HPTEs. This patch implements necessary arch specific functions for THP support and also hugepage invalidate logic. These PMD related functions are intentionally kept similar to their PTE counter-part.

If a hash bucket gets full, we "evict" a more/less random entry from it. When we do that we don't invalidate the TLB (hpte_remove) because we assume the old translation is still technically "valid". This implies that when we are invalidating or updating pte, even if HPTE entry is not valid we should do a tlb invalidate. With hugepages, we need to pass the correct actual page size value for tlb invalidation. This change update the patch 0608d692 "powerpc/mm: Always invalidate tlb on hpte invalidate and update" to handle transparent hugepages correctly.

We allocate one page for the last level of linux page table. With THP and large page size of 16MB, that would mean we are wasting large part of that page. To map 16MB area, we only need a PTE space of 2K with 64K page size. This patch reduce the space wastage by sharing the page allocated for the last level of linux page table with multiple pmd entries. We call these smaller chunks PTE page fragments and allocated page, PTE page. In order to support systems which doesn't have 64K HPTE support, we also add another 2K to PTE page fragment. The second half of the PTE fragments is used for storing slot and secondary bit information of an HPTE. With this we now have a 4K PTE fragment. We use a simple approach to share the PTE page. On allocation, we bump the PTE page refcount to 16 and share the PTE page with the next 16 pte alloc request. This should help in the node locality of the PTE page fragment, assuming that the immediate pte alloc request will mostly come from the same NUMA node. We don't try to reuse the freed PTE page fragment. Hence we could be waisting some space.

We will be switching PMD_SHIFT to 24 bits to facilitate THP impmenetation. With PMD_SHIFT set to 24, we now have 16MB huge pages allocated at PGD level. That means with 32 bit process we cannot allocate normal pages at all, because we cover the entire address space with one pgd entry. Fix this by switching to a new page table format for hugepages. With the new page table format for 16GB and 16MB hugepages we won't allocate hugepage directory. Instead we encode the PTE information directly at the directory level. This forces 16MB hugepage at PMD level. This will also make the page take walk much simpler later when we add the THP support. With the new table format we have 4 cases for pgds and pmds: (1) invalid (all zeroes) (2) pointer to next table, as normal; bottom 6 bits == 0 (3) leaf pte for huge page, bottom two bits != 00 (4) hugepd pointer, bottom two bits == 00, next 4 bits indicate size of table Signed-off-by: NAneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:01:44 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: numa.c: using kzalloc/kfree requires including slab.h fixes these build errors: arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c: In function 'arch_update_cpu_topology': arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c:1465:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'kzalloc' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c:1465:10: error: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Werror] arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c:1497:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'kfree' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] Signed-off-by: NStephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Acked-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

As all other architectures have been converted to use vm_unmapped_area(), we are about to retire the free_area_cache. This change simply removes the use of that cache in slice_get_unmapped_area(), which will most certainly have a performance cost. Next one will convert that function to use the vm_unmapped_area() infrastructure and regain the performance.

The sparse code, when asking the architecture to populate the vmemmap, specifies the section range as a starting page and a number of pages. This is an awkward interface, because none of the arch-specific code actually thinks of the range in terms of 'struct page' units and always translates it to bytes first. In addition, later patches mix huge page and regular page backing for the vmemmap. For this, they need to call vmemmap_populate_basepages() on sub-section ranges with PAGE_SIZE and PMD_SIZE in mind. But these are not necessarily multiples of the 'struct page' size and so this unit is too coarse. Just translate the section range into bytes once in the generic sparse code, then pass byte ranges down the stack.

There are instances in which we do not want topology updates to occur. In order to allow this a /proc interface (/proc/powerpc/topology_updates) is introduced so that topology updates can be enabled and disabled. This patch also adds a prrn_is_enabled() call so that PRRN events are handled in the kernel only if topology updating is enabled.

The new PRRN firmware feature provides a more convenient and event-driven interface than VPHN for notifying Linux of changes to the NUMA affinity of platform resources. However, for practical reasons, it may not be feasible for some customers to update to the latest firmware. For these customers, the VPHN feature supported on previous firmware versions may still be the best option. The VPHN feature was previously disabled due to races with the load balancing code when accessing the NUMA cpu maps, but the new stop_machine() approach protects the NUMA cpu maps from these concurrent accesses. It should be safe to re-enable this feature now. Signed-off-by: NNathan Fontenot <nfont@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
