      mm: fix device-dax pud write-faults triggered by get_user_pages() · 1501899a
      Dan Williams 提交于
      Currently only get_user_pages_fast() can safely handle the writable gup
      case due to its use of pud_access_permitted() to check whether the pud
      entry is writable.  In the gup slow path pud_write() is used instead of
      pud_access_permitted() and to date it has been unimplemented, just calls
      BUG_ON().

      For now this just implements a simple check for the _PAGE_RW bit similar
      to pmd_write.  However, this implies that the gup-slow-path check is
      missing the extra checks that the gup-fast-path performs with
      pud_access_permitted.  Later patches will align all checks to use the
      'access_permitted' helper if the architecture provides it.
      
      Note that the generic 'access_permitted' helper fallback is the simple
      _PAGE_RW check on architectures that do not define the
      'access_permitted' helper(s).

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      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.

      When running in guest mode ppc64 supports a different mechanism for hugetlb

      be used to reserve a set of hugepages and we pass the details of
      reserved pages via device tree to the guest. (more details in
      htab_dt_scan_hugepage_blocks()) . We do the memblock_reserve of the range
      and later in the boot sequence, we add the reserved range to huge_boot_pages.
      
      But to enable 16G hugetlb on baremetal config (when we are not running as guest)
      we want to do memblock reservation during boot. Generic code already does this

      mm/hugetlb: introduce hugetlb_bad_size() · 9fee021d
      Vaishali Thakkar 提交于
      When any unsupported hugepage size is specified, 'hugepagesz=' and
      'hugepages=' should be ignored during command line parsing until any
      supported hugepage size is found.  But currently incorrect number of
      hugepages are allocated when unsupported size is specified as it fails
      to ignore the 'hugepages=' command.
      
      Test case:
      
      Note that this is specific to x86 architecture.
      
      Boot the kernel with command line option 'hugepagesz=256M hugepages=X'.
      After boot, dmesg output shows that X number of hugepages of the size 2M
      is pre-allocated instead of 0.
      
      So, to handle such command line options, introduce new routine
      hugetlb_bad_size.  The routine hugetlb_bad_size sets the global variable
      parsed_valid_hugepagesz.  We are using parsed_valid_hugepagesz to save
      the state when unsupported hugepagesize is found so that we can ignore
      the 'hugepages=' parameters after that and then reset the variable when
      supported hugepage size is found.
      
      The routine hugetlb_bad_size can be called while setting 'hugepagesz='
      parameter in an architecture specific code.

      arm64: hugetlb: add support for PTE contiguous bit · 66b3923a
      David Woods 提交于
      The arm64 MMU supports a Contiguous bit which is a hint that the TTE
      is one of a set of contiguous entries which can be cached in a single
      TLB entry.  Supporting this bit adds new intermediate huge page sizes.
      
      The set of huge page sizes available depends on the base page size.
      Without using contiguous pages the huge page sizes are as follows.
      
       4KB:   2MB  1GB
      64KB: 512MB
      
      With a 4KB granule, the contiguous bit groups together sets of 16 pages
      and with a 64KB granule it groups sets of 32 pages.  This enables two new
      huge page sizes in each case, so that the full set of available sizes
      is as follows.
      
       4KB:  64KB   2MB  32MB  1GB
      64KB:   2MB 512MB  16GB
      
      If a 16KB granule is used then the contiguous bit groups 128 pages
      at the PTE level and 32 pages at the PMD level.
      
      If the base page size is set to 64KB then 2MB pages are enabled by
      default.  It is possible in the future to make 2MB the default huge
      page size for both 4KB and 64KB granules.

      hugetlbfs: add hugetlbfs_fallocate() · 70c3547e
      Mike Kravetz 提交于
      This is based on the shmem version, but it has diverged quite a bit.  We
      have no swap to worry about, nor the new file sealing.  Add
      synchronication via the fault mutex table to coordinate page faults,
      fallocate allocation and fallocate hole punch.
      
      What this allows us to do is move physical memory in and out of a
      hugetlbfs file without having it mapped.  This also gives us the ability
      to support MADV_REMOVE since it is currently implemented using
      fallocate().  MADV_REMOVE lets madvise() remove pages from the middle of
      a hugetlbfs file, which wasn't possible before.
      
      hugetlbfs fallocate only operates on whole huge pages.
      
      Based on code by Dave Hansen.

      modified to pass LLONG_MAX as end of range.  By keying off end ==
      LLONG_MAX, the routine behaves differently for truncate and hole punch.
      Page removal is now synchronized with page allocation via faults by
      using the fault mutex table.  The hole punch case can experience the
      rare region_del error and must handle accordingly.
      
      Add the routine hugetlb_fix_reserve_counts to fix up reserve counts in
      the case where region_del returns an error.
      
      Since the routine handles more than just the truncate case, it is
      renamed to remove_inode_hugepages().  To be consistent, the routine
      truncate_huge_page() is renamed remove_huge_page().
      
      Downstream of remove_inode_hugepages(), the routine
      hugetlb_unreserve_pages() is also modified to take a range of pages.
      hugetlb_unreserve_pages is modified to detect an error from region_del and
      pass it back to the caller.

      mm/hugetlb: expose hugetlb fault mutex for use by fallocate · c672c7f2
      Mike Kravetz 提交于
      hugetlb page faults are currently synchronized by the table of mutexes
      (htlb_fault_mutex_table).  fallocate code will need to synchronize with
      the page fault code when it allocates or deletes pages.  Expose
      interfaces so that fallocate operations can be synchronized with page
      faults.  Minor name changes to be more consistent with other global
      hugetlb symbols.

      mm/hugetlb: add cache of descriptors to resv_map for region_add · 5e911373
      Mike Kravetz 提交于
      hugetlbfs is used today by applications that want a high degree of
      control over huge page usage.  Often, large hugetlbfs files are used to
      map a large number huge pages into the application processes.  The
      applications know when page ranges within these large files will no
      longer be used, and ideally would like to release them back to the
      subpool or global pools for other uses.  The fallocate() system call
      provides an interface for preallocation and hole punching within files.
      This patch set adds fallocate functionality to hugetlbfs.
      
      fallocate hole punch will want to remove a specific range of pages.
      When pages are removed, their associated entries in the region/reserve
      map will also be removed.  This will break an assumption in the
      region_chg/region_add calling sequence.  If a new region descriptor must
      be allocated, it is done as part of the region_chg processing.  In this
      way, region_add can not fail because it does not need to attempt an
      allocation.
      
      To prepare for fallocate hole punch, create a "cache" of descriptors
      that can be used by region_add if necessary.  region_chg will ensure
      there are sufficient entries in the cache.  It will be necessary to
      track the number of in progress add operations to know a sufficient
      number of descriptors reside in the cache.  A new routine region_abort
      is added to adjust this in progress count when add operations are
      aborted.  vma_abort_reservation is also added for callers creating
      reservations with vma_needs_reservation/vma_commit_reservation.

      hugetlbfs: accept subpool min_size mount option and setup accordingly · 7ca02d0a
      Mike Kravetz 提交于
      Make 'min_size=<value>' be an option when mounting a hugetlbfs.  This
      option takes the same value as the 'size' option.  min_size can be
      specified without specifying size.  If both are specified, min_size must
      be less that or equal to size else the mount will fail.  If min_size is
      specified, then at mount time an attempt is made to reserve min_size
      pages.  If the reservation fails, the mount fails.  At umount time, the
      reserved pages are released.

      hugetlbfs: add minimum size tracking fields to subpool structure · c6a91820
      Mike Kravetz 提交于
      hugetlbfs allocates huge pages from the global pool as needed.  Even if
      the global pool contains a sufficient number pages for the filesystem size
      at mount time, those global pages could be grabbed for some other use.  As
      a result, filesystem huge page allocations may fail due to lack of pages.
      
      Applications such as a database want to use huge pages for performance
      reasons.  hugetlbfs filesystem semantics with ownership and modes work
      well to manage access to a pool of huge pages.  However, the application
      would like some reasonable assurance that allocations will not fail due to
      a lack of huge pages.  At application startup time, the application would
      like to configure itself to use a specific number of huge pages.  Before
      starting, the application can check to make sure that enough huge pages
      exist in the system global pools.  However, there are no guarantees that
      those pages will be available when needed by the application.  What the
      application wants is exclusive use of a subset of huge pages.
      
      Add a new hugetlbfs mount option 'min_size=<value>' to indicate that the
      specified number of pages will be available for use by the filesystem.  At
      mount time, this number of huge pages will be reserved for exclusive use
      of the filesystem.  If there is not a sufficient number of free pages, the
      mount will fail.  As pages are allocated to and freeed from the
      filesystem, the number of reserved pages is adjusted so that the specified
      minimum is maintained.
      
      This patch (of 4):
      
      Add a field to the subpool structure to indicate the minimimum number of
      huge pages to always be used by this subpool.  This minimum count includes
      allocated pages as well as reserved pages.  If the minimum number of pages
      for the subpool have not been allocated, pages are reserved up to this
      minimum.  An additional field (rsv_hpages) is used to track the number of
      pages reserved to meet this minimum size.  The hstate pointer in the
      subpool is convenient to have when reserving and unreserving the pages.
