TTU_MIGRATION is used to convert pte into migration entry until thp
split completes. This behavior conflicts with thp migration added later
patches, so let's introduce a new TTU flag specifically for freezing.
try_to_unmap() is used both for thp split (via freeze_page()) and page
migration (via __unmap_and_move()). In freeze_page(), ttu_flag given
for head page is like below (assuming anonymous thp):
(TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK | TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS | TTU_RMAP_LOCKED | \
TTU_MIGRATION | TTU_SPLIT_HUGE_PMD)
and ttu_flag given for tail pages is:
(TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK | TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS | TTU_RMAP_LOCKED | \
TTU_MIGRATION)
__unmap_and_move() calls try_to_unmap() with ttu_flag:
(TTU_MIGRATION | TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK | TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS)
Now I'm trying to insert a branch for thp migration at the top of
try_to_unmap_one() like below
static int try_to_unmap_one(struct page *page, struct vm_area_struct *vma,
unsigned long address, void *arg)
{
...
/* PMD-mapped THP migration entry */
if (!pvmw.pte && (flags & TTU_MIGRATION)) {
if (!PageAnon(page))
continue;
set_pmd_migration_entry(&pvmw, page);
continue;
}
...
}
so try_to_unmap() for tail pages called by thp split can go into thp
migration code path (which converts *pmd* into migration entry), while
the expectation is to freeze thp (which converts *pte* into migration
entry.)
I detected this failure as a "bad page state" error in a testcase where
split_huge_page() is called from queue_pages_pte_range().

Patch series "mm: page migration enhancement for thp", v9.
Motivations:
1. THP migration becomes important in the upcoming heterogeneous memory
systems. As David Nellans from NVIDIA pointed out from other threads
(http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1349227.html),
future GPUs or other accelerators will have their memory managed by
operating systems. Moving data into and out of these memory nodes
efficiently is critical to applications that use GPUs or other
accelerators. Existing page migration only supports base pages, which
has a very low memory bandwidth utilization. My experiments (see
below) show THP migration can migrate pages more efficiently.
2. Base page migration vs THP migration throughput.
Here are cross-socket page migration results from calling
move_pages() syscall:
In x86_64, a Intel two-socket E5-2640v3 box,
- single 4KB base page migration takes 62.47 us, using 0.06 GB/s BW,
- single 2MB THP migration takes 658.54 us, using 2.97 GB/s BW,
- 512 4KB base page migration takes 1987.38 us, using 0.98 GB/s BW.
In ppc64, a two-socket Power8 box,
- single 64KB base page migration takes 49.3 us, using 1.24 GB/s BW,
- single 16MB THP migration takes 2202.17 us, using 7.10 GB/s BW,
- 256 64KB base page migration takes 2543.65 us, using 6.14 GB/s BW.
THP migration can give us 3x and 1.15x throughput over base page
migration in x86_64 and ppc64 respectivley.
You can test it out by using the code here:
https://github.com/x-y-z/thp-migration-bench
3. Existing page migration splits THP before migration and cannot
guarantee the migrated pages are still contiguous. Contiguity is
always what GPUs and accelerators look for. Without THP migration,
khugepaged needs to do extra work to reassemble the migrated pages
back to THPs.
This patch (of 10):
Introduce a separate check routine related to MPOL_MF_INVERT flag. This
patch just does cleanup, no behavioral change.

Nothing really major this release, despite quite a lot of activity. Just lots of
things all over the place.
Some things of note include:
- Access via perf to a new type of PMU (IMC) on Power9, which can count both
core events as well as nest unit events (Memory controller etc).
- Optimisations to the radix MMU TLB flushing, mostly to avoid unnecessary Page
Walk Cache (PWC) flushes when the structure of the tree is not changing.
- Reworks/cleanups of do_page_fault() to modernise it and bring it closer to
other architectures where possible.
- Rework of our page table walking so that THP updates only need to send IPIs
to CPUs where the affected mm has run, rather than all CPUs.
- The size of our vmalloc area is increased to 56T on 64-bit hash MMU systems.
This avoids problems with the percpu allocator on systems with very sparse
NUMA layouts.
- STRICT_KERNEL_RWX support on PPC32.
- A new sched domain topology for Power9, to capture the fact that pairs of
cores may share an L2 cache.
- Power9 support for VAS, which is a new mechanism for accessing coprocessors,
and initial support for using it with the NX compression accelerator.
- Major work on the instruction emulation support, adding support for many new
instructions, and reworking it so it can be used to implement the emulation
needed to fixup alignment faults.
- Support for guests under PowerVM to use the Power9 XIVE interrupt controller.
And probably that many things again that are almost as interesting, but I had to
keep the list short. Plus the usual fixes and cleanups as always.

Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of changes for percpu this time around. percpu inherited the
same area allocator from the original pre-virtual-address-mapped
implementation. This was from the time when percpu allocator wasn't
used all that much and the implementation was focused on simplicity,
with the unfortunate computational complexity of O(number of areas
allocated from the chunk) per alloc / free.
With the increase in percpu usage, we're hitting cases where the lack
of scalability is hurting. The most prominent one right now is bpf
perpcu map creation / destruction which may allocate and free a lot of
entries consecutively and it's likely that the problem will become
more prominent in the future.
To address the issue, Dennis replaced the area allocator with hinted
bitmap allocator which is more consistent. While the new allocator
does perform a bit worse in some cases, it outperforms the old
allocator way more than an order of magnitude in other more common
scenarios while staying mostly flat in CPU overhead and completely
flat in memory consumption"

Introduce MADV_WIPEONFORK semantics, which result in a VMA being empty
in the child process after fork. This differs from MADV_DONTFORK in one
important way.
If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_WIPEONFORK, it will get
zeroes. The address ranges are still valid, they are just empty.
If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_DONTFORK, it will get a
segmentation fault, since those address ranges are no longer valid in
the child after fork.
Since MADV_DONTFORK also seems to be used to allow very large programs
to fork in systems with strict memory overcommit restrictions, changing
the semantics of MADV_DONTFORK might break existing programs.
MADV_WIPEONFORK only works on private, anonymous VMAs.
The use case is libraries that store or cache information, and want to
know that they need to regenerate it in the child process after fork.
Examples of this would be:
- systemd/pulseaudio API checks (fail after fork) (replacing a getpid
check, which is too slow without a PID cache)
- PKCS#11 API reinitialization check (mandated by specification)
- glibc's upcoming PRNG (reseed after fork)
- OpenSSL PRNG (reseed after fork)
The security benefits of a forking server having a re-inialized PRNG in
every child process are pretty obvious. However, due to libraries
having all kinds of internal state, and programs getting compiled with
many different versions of each library, it is unreasonable to expect
calling programs to re-initialize everything manually after fork.
A further complication is the proliferation of clone flags, programs
bypassing glibc's functions to call clone directly, and programs calling
unshare, causing the glibc pthread_atfork hook to not get called.
It would be better to have the kernel take care of this automatically.
The patch also adds MADV_KEEPONFORK, to undo the effects of a prior
MADV_WIPEONFORK.
This is similar to the OpenBSD minherit syscall with MAP_INHERIT_ZERO:

Huge page helps to reduce TLB miss rate, but it has higher cache
footprint, sometimes this may cause some issue. For example, when
clearing huge page on x86_64 platform, the cache footprint is 2M. But
on a Xeon E5 v3 2699 CPU, there are 18 cores, 36 threads, and only 45M
LLC (last level cache). That is, in average, there are 2.5M LLC for
each core and 1.25M LLC for each thread.
If the cache pressure is heavy when clearing the huge page, and we clear
the huge page from the begin to the end, it is possible that the begin
of huge page is evicted from the cache after we finishing clearing the
end of the huge page. And it is possible for the application to access
the begin of the huge page after clearing the huge page.
To help the above situation, in this patch, when we clear a huge page,
the order to clear sub-pages is changed. In quite some situation, we
can get the address that the application will access after we clear the
huge page, for example, in a page fault handler. Instead of clearing
the huge page from begin to end, we will clear the sub-pages farthest
from the the sub-page to access firstly, and clear the sub-page to
access last. This will make the sub-page to access most cache-hot and
sub-pages around it more cache-hot too. If we cannot know the address
the application will access, the begin of the huge page is assumed to be
the the address the application will access.
With this patch, the throughput increases ~28.3% in vm-scalability
anon-w-seq test case with 72 processes on a 2 socket Xeon E5 v3 2699
system (36 cores, 72 threads). The test case creates 72 processes, each
process mmap a big anonymous memory area and writes to it from the begin
to the end. For each process, other processes could be seen as other
workload which generates heavy cache pressure. At the same time, the
cache miss rate reduced from ~33.4% to ~31.7%, the IPC (instruction per
cycle) increased from 0.56 to 0.74, and the time spent in user space is
reduced ~7.9%
Christopher Lameter suggests to clear bytes inside a sub-page from end
to begin too. But tests show no visible performance difference in the
tests. May because the size of page is small compared with the cache
size.
Thanks Andi Kleen to propose to use address to access to determine the
order of sub-pages to clear.
The hugetlbfs access address could be improved, will do that in another
patch.

This is purely required because exit_aio() may block and exit_mmap() may
never start, if the oom_reap_task cannot start running on a mm with
mm_users == 0.
At the same time if the OOM reaper doesn't wait at all for the memory of
the current OOM candidate to be freed by exit_mmap->unmap_vmas, it would
generate a spurious OOM kill.
If it wasn't because of the exit_aio or similar blocking functions in
the last mmput, it would be enough to change the oom_reap_task() in the
case it finds mm_users == 0, to wait for a timeout or to wait for
__mmput to set MMF_OOM_SKIP itself, but it's not just exit_mmap the
problem here so the concurrency of exit_mmap and oom_reap_task is
apparently warranted.
It's a non standard runtime, exit_mmap() runs without mmap_sem, and
oom_reap_task runs with the mmap_sem for reading as usual (kind of
MADV_DONTNEED).
The race between the two is solved with a combination of
tsk_is_oom_victim() (serialized by task_lock) and MMF_OOM_SKIP
(serialized by a dummy down_write/up_write cycle on the same lines of
the ksm_exit method).
If the oom_reap_task() may be running concurrently during exit_mmap,
exit_mmap will wait it to finish in down_write (before taking down mm
structures that would make the oom_reap_task fail with use after free).
If exit_mmap comes first, oom_reap_task() will skip the mm if
MMF_OOM_SKIP is already set and in turn all memory is already freed and
furthermore the mm data structures may already have been taken down by
free_pgtables.

If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node
information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap
device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance.
The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous
single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each
numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap
devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's
swap_avail_list.
The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value,
or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The
priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap
device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy
doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous
starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.
Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are
available, each sit on a different node:
swapA on node 0
swapB on node 1
swapC on node 2
swapD on node 3
After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD.
Current behaviour:
their priorities will be:
swapA: -1
swapB: -2
swapC: -3
swapD: -4
And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be:
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
New behaviour:
their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
swapA: -2
swapB: -3
swapC: -4
swapD: -5
And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */
swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap
a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random
position to trigger both swap in and out is used.
On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives
are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the
result is:
runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G

Please note that the freezer still needs to check TIF_MEMDIE because we
cannot thaw tasks which do not participage in oom_victims counting

For ages we have been relying on TIF_MEMDIE thread flag to mark OOM
victims and then, among other things, to give these threads full access
to memory reserves. There are few shortcomings of this implementation,
though.
First of all and the most serious one is that the full access to memory
reserves is quite dangerous because we leave no safety room for the
system to operate and potentially do last emergency steps to move on.
Secondly this flag is per task_struct while the OOM killer operates on
mm_struct granularity so all processes sharing the given mm are killed.
Giving the full access to all these task_structs could lead to a quick
memory reserves depletion. We have tried to reduce this risk by giving
TIF_MEMDIE only to the main thread and the currently allocating task but
that doesn't really solve this problem while it surely opens up a room
for corner cases - e.g. GFP_NO{FS,IO} requests might loop inside the
allocator without access to memory reserves because a particular thread
was not the group leader.
Now that we have the oom reaper and that all oom victims are reapable
after 1b51e65eab ("oom, oom_reaper: allow to reap mm shared by the
kthreads") we can be more conservative and grant only partial access to
memory reserves because there are reasonable chances of the parallel
memory freeing. We still want some access to reserves because we do not
want other consumers to eat up the victim's freed memory. oom victims
will still contend with __GFP_HIGH users but those shouldn't be so
aggressive to starve oom victims completely.
Introduce ALLOC_OOM flag and give all tsk_is_oom_victim tasks access to
the half of the reserves. This makes the access to reserves independent
on which task has passed through mark_oom_victim. Also drop any usage
of TIF_MEMDIE from the page allocator proper and replace it by
tsk_is_oom_victim as well which will make page_alloc.c completely
TIF_MEMDIE free finally.
CONFIG_MMU=n doesn't have oom reaper so let's stick to the original
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS approach.
There is a demand to make the oom killer memcg aware which will imply
many tasks killed at once. This change will allow such a usecase
without worrying about complete memory reserves depletion.

It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large
number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio
'randrw' test with --numjobs=32. E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores)
is:
Run status group 0 (all jobs):
READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ...
WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ...
While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is:
Run status group 0 (all jobs):
READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ...
WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ...
The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting
upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on
the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature
of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the
list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well
enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a
significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our
measurements).
This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page
object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is
done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path.
The fio results for 8-core case are now the following:
Run status group 0 (all jobs):
READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ...
WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=1580.8MB/s, minb=50582KB/s, ...
So we're in for almost 6x performance increase.

VMA based swap readahead will readahead the virtual pages that is
continuous in the virtual address space. While the original swap
readahead will readahead the swap slots that is continuous in the swap
device. Although VMA based swap readahead is more correct for the swap
slots to be readahead, it will trigger more small random readings, which
may cause the performance of HDD (hard disk) to degrade heavily, and may
finally exceed the benefit.
To avoid the issue, in this patch, if the HDD is used as swap, the VMA
based swap readahead will be disabled, and the original swap readahead
will be used instead.

The swap readahead is an important mechanism to reduce the swap in
latency. Although pure sequential memory access pattern isn't very
popular for anonymous memory, the space locality is still considered
valid.
In the original swap readahead implementation, the consecutive blocks in
swap device are readahead based on the global space locality estimation.
But the consecutive blocks in swap device just reflect the order of page
reclaiming, don't necessarily reflect the access pattern in virtual
memory. And the different tasks in the system may have different access
patterns, which makes the global space locality estimation incorrect.
In this patch, when page fault occurs, the virtual pages near the fault
address will be readahead instead of the swap slots near the fault swap
slot in swap device. This avoid to readahead the unrelated swap slots.
At the same time, the swap readahead is changed to work on per-VMA from
globally. So that the different access patterns of the different VMAs
could be distinguished, and the different readahead policy could be
applied accordingly. The original core readahead detection and scaling
algorithm is reused, because it is an effect algorithm to detect the
space locality.
The test and result is as follow,
Common test condition
=====================
Test Machine: Xeon E5 v3 (2 sockets, 72 threads, 32G RAM) Swap device:
NVMe disk
Micro-benchmark with combined access pattern
============================================
vm-scalability, sequential swap test case, 4 processes to eat 50G
virtual memory space, repeat the sequential memory writing until 300
seconds. The first round writing will trigger swap out, the following
rounds will trigger sequential swap in and out.
At the same time, run vm-scalability random swap test case in
background, 8 processes to eat 30G virtual memory space, repeat the
random memory write until 300 seconds. This will trigger random swap-in
in the background.
This is a combined workload with sequential and random memory accessing
at the same time. The result (for sequential workload) is as follow,
Base Optimized

The original swap readahead algorithm is confused by the background
random access workload, so readahead hit rate is lower. The VMA-base
readahead algorithm works much better.

The score of base and optimized kernel hasn't visible changes. But the
elapsed time reduced and readahead hit rate improved, so the optimized
kernel runs better for startup and tear down stages. And the absolute
value of readahead hit rate is high, shows that the space locality is
still valid in some practical workloads.

In the original implementation, it is possible that the existing pages
in the swap cache (not newly readahead) could be marked as the readahead
pages. This will cause the statistics of swap readahead be wrong and
influence the swap readahead algorithm too.
This is fixed via marking a page as the readahead page only if it is
newly allocated and read from the disk.
When testing with linpack, after the fixing the swap readahead hit rate
increased from ~66% to ~86%.

In addition to the swap readahead changes, some new sysfs interface is
added to show the efficiency of the readahead algorithm and some other
swap statistics.
This new implementation will incur more small random read, on SSD, the
improved correctness of estimation and readahead target should beat the
potential increased overhead, this is also illustrated in the test
results below. But on HDD, the overhead may beat the benefit, so the
original implementation will be used by default.
The test and result is as follow,

The statistics for total readahead pages and total readahead hits are
recorded and exported via the following sysfs interface.
/sys/kernel/mm/swap/ra_hits
/sys/kernel/mm/swap/ra_total
With them, the efficiency of the swap readahead could be measured, so
that the swap readahead algorithm and parameters could be tuned

This patch came out of discussions in this e-mail thread:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1499357846-7481-1-git-send-email-mike.kravetz%40oracle.com
The Oracle JVM team is developing a new garbage collection model. This
new model requires multiple mappings of the same anonymous memory. One
straight forward way to accomplish this is with memfd_create. They can
use the returned fd to create multiple mappings of the same memory.
The JVM today has an option to use (static hugetlb) huge pages. If this
option is specified, they would like to use the same garbage collection
model requiring multiple mappings to the same memory. Using hugetlbfs,
it is possible to explicitly mount a filesystem and specify file paths
in order to get an fd that can be used for multiple mappings. However,
this introduces additional system admin work and coordination.
Ideally they would like to get a hugetlbfs fd without requiring explicit
mounting of a filesystem. Today, mmap and shmget can make use of
hugetlbfs without explicitly mounting a filesystem. The patch adds this
functionality to memfd_create.
Add a new flag MFD_HUGETLB to memfd_create() that will specify the file
to be created resides in the hugetlbfs filesystem. This is the generic
hugetlbfs filesystem not associated with any specific mount point. As
with other system calls that request hugetlbfs backed pages, there is
the ability to encode huge page size in the flag arguments.
hugetlbfs does not support sealing operations, therefore specifying
MFD_ALLOW_SEALING with MFD_HUGETLB will result in EINVAL.
Of course, the memfd_man page would need updating if this type of
functionality moves forward.

devm_memremap_pages() records mapped ranges in pgmap_radix with an entry
per section's worth of memory (128MB). The key for each of those
entries is a section number.
This leads to false positives when devm_memremap_pages() is passed a
section-unaligned range as lookups in the misalignment fail to return
NULL. We can close this hole by using the pfn as the key for entries in
the tree. The number of entries required to describe a remapped range
is reduced by leveraging multi-order entries.
In practice this approach usually yields just one entry in the tree if
the size and starting address are of the same power-of-2 alignment.
Previously we always needed nr_entries = mapping_size / 128MB.

In pcpu_get_vm_areas(), it checks each range is not overlapped. To make
sure it is, only (N^2)/2 comparison is necessary, while current code
does N^2 times. By starting from the next range, it achieves the goal
and the continue could be removed.
Also,
- the overlap check of two ranges could be done with one clause
- one typo in comment is fixed.

alloc_gigantic_page doesn't consider movability of the gigantic hugetlb
when scanning eligible ranges for the allocation. As 1GB hugetlb pages
are not movable currently this can break the movable zone assumption
that all allocations are migrateable and as such break memory hotplug.
Reorganize the code and use the standard zonelist allocations scheme
that we use for standard hugetbl pages. htlb_alloc_mask will ensure
that only migratable hugetlb pages will ever see a movable zone.

A __split_vma is not a worthy event to report, and it's definitely not a
unmap so it would be incorrect to report unmap for the whole region to
the userfaultfd manager if a __split_vma fails.
So only call userfaultfd_unmap_prep after the __vma_splitting is over
and do_munmap cannot fail anymore.
Also add unlikely because it's better to optimize for the vast majority
of apps that aren't using userfaultfd in a non cooperative way. Ideally
we should also find a way to eliminate the branch entirely if
CONFIG_USERFAULTFD=n, but it would complicate things so stick to
unlikely for now.

global_page_state is error prone as a recent bug report pointed out [1].
It only returns proper values for zone based counters as the enum it
gets suggests. We already have global_node_page_state so let's rename
global_page_state to global_zone_page_state to be more explicit here.
All existing users seems to be correct:

Patch series "userfaultfd: enable zeropage support for shmem".
These patches enable support for UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE for shared memory.
The first two patches are not strictly related to userfaultfd, they are
just minor refactoring to reduce amount of code duplication.
This patch (of 7):
Currently we update inode and shmem_inode_info before verifying that
used_blocks will not exceed max_blocks. In case it will, we undo the
update. Let's switch the order and move the verification of the blocks
count before the inode and shmem_inode_info update.

When swapping out THP (Transparent Huge Page), instead of swapping out
the THP as a whole, sometimes we have to fallback to split the THP into
normal pages before swapping, because no free swap clusters are
available, or cgroup limit is exceeded, etc. To count the number of the
fallback, a new VM event THP_SWPOUT_FALLBACK is added, and counted when
we fallback to split the THP.

In this patch, splitting transparent huge page (THP) during swapping out
is delayed from after adding the THP into the swap cache to after
swapping out finishes. After the patch, more operations for the
anonymous THP reclaiming, such as writing the THP to the swap device,
removing the THP from the swap cache could be batched. So that the
performance of anonymous THP swapping out could be improved.
This is the second step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay
splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 42% (from about
5.81GB/s to about 8.25GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 16 processes. At the same time, the IPI (reflect TLB flushing)
reduced about 78.9%. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.

After adding swapping out support for THP (Transparent Huge Page), it is
possible that a THP in swap cache (partly swapped out) need to be split.
To split such a THP, the swap cluster backing the THP need to be split
too, that is, the CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE flag need to be cleared for the swap
cluster. The patch implemented this.
And because the THP swap writing needs the THP keeps as huge page during
writing. The PageWriteback flag is checked before splitting.

After supporting to delay THP (Transparent Huge Page) splitting after
swapped out, it is possible that some page table mappings of the THP are
turned into swap entries. So reuse_swap_page() need to check the swap
count in addition to the map count as before. This patch done that.
In the huge PMD write protect fault handler, in addition to the page map
count, the swap count need to be checked too, so the page lock need to
be acquired too when calling reuse_swap_page() in addition to the page
table lock.

The normal swap slot reclaiming can be done when the swap count reaches
SWAP_HAS_CACHE. But for the swap slot which is backing a THP, all swap
slots backing one THP must be reclaimed together, because the swap slot
may be used again when the THP is swapped out again later. So the swap
slots backing one THP can be reclaimed together when the swap count for
all swap slots for the THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE. In the patch, the
functions to check whether the swap count for all swap slots backing one
THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE are implemented and used when checking
whether a swap slot can be reclaimed.
To make it easier to determine whether a swap slot is backing a THP, a
new swap cluster flag named CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE is added to mark a swap
cluster which is backing a THP (Transparent Huge Page). Because THP
swap in as a whole isn't supported now. After deleting the THP from the
swap cache (for example, swapping out finished), the CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE
flag will be cleared. So that, the normal pages inside THP can be
swapped in individually.

Patch series "mm, THP, swap: Delay splitting THP after swapped out", v3.
This is the second step of THP (Transparent Huge Page) swap
optimization. In the first step, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. In the second
step, the splitting is delayed further to after the swapping out
finished. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally
avoid splitting THP for the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as
a whole.
In the patchset, more operations for the anonymous THP reclaiming, such
as TLB flushing, writing the THP to the swap device, removing the THP
from the swap cache are batched. So that the performance of anonymous
THP swapping out are improved.
During the development, the following scenarios/code paths have been
checked,
- swap out/in
- swap off
- write protect page fault
- madvise_free
- process exit
- split huge page
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 42% (from about
5.81GB/s to about 8.25GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 16 processes. At the same time, the IPI (reflect TLB flushing)
reduced about 78.9%. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
Below is the part of the cover letter for the first step patchset of THP
swap optimization which applies to all steps.
=========================
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce TLB flushing and lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary.
For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be
turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with
MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patch (of 12):
Previously, swapcache_free_cluster() is used only in the error path of
shrink_page_list() to free the swap cluster just allocated if the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) is failed to be split. In this patch, it is
enhanced to clear the swap cache flag (SWAP_HAS_CACHE) for the swap
cluster that holds the contents of THP swapped out.
This will be used in delaying splitting THP after swapping out support.
Because there is no THP swapping in as a whole support yet, after
clearing the swap cache flag, the swap cluster backing the THP swapped
out will be split. So that the swap slots in the swap cluster can be
swapped in as normal pages later.

A removed memory cgroup with a defined memory.low and some belonging
pagecache has very low chances to be freed.
If a cgroup has been removed, there is likely no memory pressure inside
the cgroup, and the pagecache is protected from the external pressure by
the defined low limit. The cgroup will be freed only after the reclaim
of all belonging pages. And it will not happen until there are any
reclaimable memory in the system. That means, there is a good chance,
that a cold pagecache will reside in the memory for an undefined amount
of time, wasting system resources.
This problem was fixed earlier by fa06235b8e ("cgroup: reset css on
destruction"), but it's not a best way to do it, as we can't really
reset all limits/counters during cgroup offlining.

Tetsuo Handa has reported[1][2][3] that direct reclaimers might get
stuck in too_many_isolated loop basically for ever because the last few
pages on the LRU lists are isolated by the kswapd which is stuck on fs
locks when doing the pageout or slab reclaim. This in turn means that
there is nobody to actually trigger the oom killer and the system is
basically unusable.
too_many_isolated has been introduced by commit 35cd78156c ("vmscan:
throttle direct reclaim when too many pages are isolated already") to
prevent from pre-mature oom killer invocations because back then no
reclaim progress could indeed trigger the OOM killer too early.
But since the oom detection rework in commit 0a0337e0d1 ("mm, oom:
rework oom detection") the allocation/reclaim retry loop considers all
the reclaimable pages and throttles the allocation at that layer so we
can loosen the direct reclaim throttling.
Make shrink_inactive_list loop over too_many_isolated bounded and
returns immediately when the situation hasn't resolved after the first
sleep.
Replace congestion_wait by a simple schedule_timeout_interruptible
because we are not really waiting on the IO congestion in this path.
Please note that this patch can theoretically cause the OOM killer to
trigger earlier while there are many pages isolated for the reclaim
which makes progress only very slowly. This would be obvious from the
oom report as the number of isolated pages are printed there. If we
ever hit this should_reclaim_retry should consider those numbers in the
evaluation in one way or another.

Getting -EBUSY from zs_page_migrate will make migration slow (retry) or
fail (zs_page_putback will schedule_work free_work, but it cannot ensure
the success).
I noticed this issue because my Kernel patched
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/28/113) that will remove retry in
__alloc_contig_migrate_range.
This retry will handle the -EBUSY because it will re-isolate the page
and re-call migrate_pages. Without it will make cma_alloc fail at once
with -EBUSY.
According to the review from Minchan Kim in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/28/113, I update the patch to skip
unnecessary loops but not return -EBUSY if zspage is not inuse.

Nadav Amit report zap_page_range only specifies that the caller protect
the VMA list but does not specify whether it is held for read or write
with callers using either. madvise holds mmap_sem for read meaning that
a parallel zap operation can unmap PTEs which are then potentially
skipped by madvise which potentially returns with stale TLB entries
present. While the API could be extended, it would be a difficult API
to use. This patch causes zap_page_range() to always consider flushing
the full affected range. For small ranges or sparsely populated
mappings, this may result in one additional spurious TLB flush. For
larger ranges, it is possible that the TLB has already been flushed and
the overhead is negligible. Either way, this approach is safer overall
and avoids stale entries being present when madvise returns.
This can be illustrated with the following program provided by Nadav
Amit and slightly modified. With the patch applied, it has an exit code
of 0 indicating a stale TLB entry did not leak to userspace.

When walking the page tables to resolve an address that points to
!p*d_present() entry, huge_pte_offset() returns inconsistent values
depending on the level of page table (PUD or PMD).
It returns NULL in the case of a PUD entry while in the case of a PMD
entry, it returns a pointer to the page table entry.
A similar inconsitency exists when handling swap entries - returns NULL
for a PUD entry while a pointer to the pte_t is retured for the PMD
entry.
Update huge_pte_offset() to make the behaviour consistent - return a
pointer to the pte_t for hugepage or swap entries. Only return NULL in
instances where we have a p*d_none() entry and the size parameter
doesn't match the hugepage size at this level of the page table.
Document the behaviour to clarify the expected behaviour of this
function. This is to set clear semantics for architecture specific
implementations of huge_pte_offset().
Discussions on the arm64 implementation of huge_pte_offset()
(http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg133699.html) showed that there
is benefit from returning a pte_t* in the case of p*d_none().
The fault handling code in hugetlb_fault() can handle p*d_none() entries
and saves an extra round trip to huge_pte_alloc(). Other callers of
huge_pte_offset() should be ok as well.

These functions are the only bits of generic code that use
{pud,pmd}_pfn() without checking for CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE. This
works fine on x86, the only arch with devmap support, since the *_pfn()
functions are always defined there, but this isn't true for every
architecture.

mremap will attempt to create a 'duplicate' mapping if old_size == 0 is
specified. In the case of private mappings, mremap will actually create
a fresh separate private mapping unrelated to the original. This does
not fit with the design semantics of mremap as the intention is to
create a new mapping based on the original.
Therefore, return EINVAL in the case where an attempt is made to
duplicate a private mapping. Also, print a warning message (once) if
such an attempt is made.

init_pages_in_zone() is run under zone->lock, which means a long lock
time and disabled interrupts on large machines. This is currently not
an issue since it runs early in boot, but a later patch will change
that.
However, like other pfn scanners, we don't actually need zone->lock even
when other cpus are running. The only potentially dangerous operation
here is reading bogus buddy page owner due to race, and we already know
how to handle that. The worst that can happen is that we skip some
early allocated pages, which should not affect the debugging power of
page_owner noticeably.

In init_pages_in_zone() we currently use the generic set_page_owner()
function to initialize page_owner info for early allocated pages. This
means we needlessly do lookup_page_ext() twice for each page, and more
importantly save_stack(), which has to unwind the stack and find the
corresponding stack depot handle. Because the stack is always the same
for the initialization, unwind it once in init_pages_in_zone() and reuse
the handle. Also avoid the repeated lookup_page_ext().
This can significantly reduce boot times with page_owner=on on large
machines, especially for kernels built without frame pointer, where the
stack unwinding is noticeably slower.

Commit f52407ce2d ("memory hotplug: alloc page from other node in
memory online") has introduced N_HIGH_MEMORY checks to only use NUMA
aware allocations when there is some memory present because the
respective node might not have any memory yet at the time and so it
could fail or even OOM.
Things have changed since then though. Zonelists are now always
initialized before we do any allocations even for hotplug (see
959ecc48fc ("mm/memory_hotplug.c: fix building of node hotplug
zonelist")).
Therefore these checks are not really needed. In fact caller of the
allocator should never care about whether the node is populated because
that might change at any time.

zonelists_mutex was introduced by commit 4eaf3f6439 ("mem-hotplug: fix
potential race while building zonelist for new populated zone") to
protect zonelist building from races. This is no longer needed though
because both memory online and offline are fully serialized. New users
have grown since then.
Notably setup_per_zone_wmarks wants to prevent from races between memory
hotplug, khugepaged setup and manual min_free_kbytes update via sysctl
(see cfd3da1e49 ("mm: Serialize access to min_free_kbytes"). Let's
add a private lock for that purpose. This will not prevent from seeing
halfway through memory hotplug operation but that shouldn't be a big
deal becuse memory hotplug will update watermarks explicitly so we will
eventually get a full picture. The lock just makes sure we won't race
when updating watermarks leading to weird results.
Also __build_all_zonelists manipulates global data so add a private lock
for it as well. This doesn't seem to be necessary today but it is more
robust to have a lock there.
While we are at it make sure we document that memory online/offline
depends on a full serialization either via mem_hotplug_begin() or
device_lock.

build_all_zonelists has been (ab)using stop_machine to make sure that
zonelists do not change while somebody is looking at them. This is is
just a gross hack because a) it complicates the context from which we
can call build_all_zonelists (see 3f906ba236 ("mm/memory-hotplug:
switch locking to a percpu rwsem")) and b) is is not really necessary
especially after "mm, page_alloc: simplify zonelist initialization" and
c) it doesn't really provide the protection it claims (see below).
Updates of the zonelists happen very seldom, basically only when a zone
becomes populated during memory online or when it loses all the memory
during offline. A racing iteration over zonelists could either miss a
zone or try to work on one zone twice. Both of these are something we
can live with occasionally because there will always be at least one
zone visible so we are not likely to fail allocation too easily for
example.
Please note that the original stop_machine approach doesn't really
provide a better exclusion because the iteration might be interrupted
half way (unless the whole iteration is preempt disabled which is not
the case in most cases) so the some zones could still be seen twice or a
zone missed.
I have run the pathological online/offline of the single memblock in the

pressure.

build_zonelists gradually builds zonelists from the nearest to the most
distant node. As we do not know how many populated zones we will have
in each node we rely on the _zoneref to terminate initialized part of
the zonelist by a NULL zone. While this is functionally correct it is
quite suboptimal because we cannot allow updaters to race with zonelists
users because they could see an empty zonelist and fail the allocation
or hit the OOM killer in the worst case.
We can do much better, though. We can store the node ordering into an
already existing node_order array and then give this array to
build_zonelists_in_node_order and do the whole initialization at once.
zonelists consumers still might see halfway initialized state but that
should be much more tolerateable because the list will not be empty and
they would either see some zone twice or skip over some zone(s) in the
worst case which shouldn't lead to immediate failures.
While at it let's simplify build_zonelists_node which is rather
confusing now. It gets an index into the zoneref array and returns the
updated index for the next iteration. Let's rename the function to
build_zonerefs_node to better reflect its purpose and give it zoneref
array to update. The function doesn't the index anymore. It just
returns the number of added zones so that the caller can advance the
zonered array start for the next update.
This patch alone doesn't introduce any functional change yet, though, it
is merely a preparatory work for later changes.

try_online_node calls hotadd_new_pgdat which already calls
build_all_zonelists. So the additional call is redundant. Even though
hotadd_new_pgdat will only initialize zonelists of the new node this is
the right thing to do because such a node doesn't have any memory so
other zonelists would ignore all the zones from this node anyway.

build_all_zonelists gets a zone parameter to initialize zone's pagesets.
There is only a single user which gives a non-NULL zone parameter and
that one doesn't really need the rest of the build_all_zonelists (see
commit 6dcd73d701 ("memory-hotplug: allocate zone's pcp before
onlining pages")).
Therefore remove setup_zone_pageset from build_all_zonelists and call it
from its only user directly. This will also remove a pointless zonlists
rebuilding which is always good.

__build_all_zonelists reinitializes each online cpu local node for
CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES. This makes sense because previously
memory less nodes could gain some memory during memory hotplug and so
the local node should be changed for CPUs close to such a node. It
makes less sense to do that unconditionally for a newly creaded NUMA
node which is still offline and without any memory.
Let's also simplify the cpu loop and use for_each_online_cpu instead of
an explicit cpu_online check for all possible cpus.

Patch series "cleanup zonelists initialization", v1.
This is aimed at cleaning up the zonelists initialization code we have
but the primary motivation was bug report [2] which got resolved but the
usage of stop_machine is just too ugly to live. Most patches are
straightforward but 3 of them need a special consideration.
Patch 1 removes zone ordered zonelists completely. I am CCing linux-api
because this is a user visible change. As I argue in the patch
description I do not think we have a strong usecase for it these days.
I have kept sysctl in place and warn into the log if somebody tries to
configure zone lists ordering. If somebody has a real usecase for it we
can revert this patch but I do not expect anybody will actually notice
runtime differences. This patch is not strictly needed for the rest but
it made patch 6 easier to implement.
Patch 7 removes stop_machine from build_all_zonelists without adding any
special synchronization between iterators and updater which I _believe_
is acceptable as explained in the changelog. I hope I am not missing
anything.
Patch 8 then removes zonelists_mutex which is kind of ugly as well and
not really needed AFAICS but a care should be taken when double checking
my thinking.
This patch (of 9):
Supporting zone ordered zonelists costs us just a lot of code while the
usefulness is arguable if existent at all. Mel has already made node
ordering default on 64b systems. 32b systems are still using
ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE because it is considered better to fallback to a
different NUMA node rather than consume precious lowmem zones.
This argument is, however, weaken by the fact that the memory reclaim
has been reworked to be node rather than zone oriented. This means that
lowmem requests have to skip over all highmem pages on LRUs already and
so zone ordering doesn't save the reclaim time much. So the only
advantage of the zone ordering is under a light memory pressure when
highmem requests do not ever hit into lowmem zones and the lowmem
pressure doesn't need to reclaim.
Considering that 32b NUMA systems are rather suboptimal already and it
is generally advisable to use 64b kernel on such a HW I believe we
should rather care about the code maintainability and just get rid of
ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE altogether. Keep systcl in place and warn if
somebody tries to set zone ordering either from kernel command line or
the sysctl.

Historically we have enforced that any kernel zone (e.g ZONE_NORMAL) has
to precede the Movable zone in the physical memory range. The purpose
of the movable zone is, however, not bound to any physical memory
restriction. It merely defines a class of migrateable and reclaimable
memory.
There are users (e.g. CMA) who might want to reserve specific physical
memory ranges for their own purpose. Moreover our pfn walkers have to
be prepared for zones overlapping in the physical range already because
we do support interleaving NUMA nodes and therefore zones can interleave
as well. This means we can allow each memory block to be associated
with a different zone.
Loosen the current onlining semantic and allow explicit onlining type on
any memblock. That means that online_{kernel,movable} will be allowed
regardless of the physical address of the memblock as long as it is
offline of course. This might result in moveble zone overlapping with
other kernel zones. Default onlining then becomes a bit tricky but
still sensible. echo online > memoryXY/state will online the given
block to
1) the default zone if the given range is outside of any zone
2) the enclosing zone if such a zone doesn't interleave with
any other zone
3) the default zone if more zones interleave for this range
where default zone is movable zone only if movable_node is enabled
otherwise it is a kernel zone.
Here is an example of the semantic with (movable_node is not present but
it work in an analogous way). We start with following memblocks, all of
them offline:
memory34/valid_zones:Normal Movable
memory35/valid_zones:Normal Movable
memory36/valid_zones:Normal Movable
memory37/valid_zones:Normal Movable
memory38/valid_zones:Normal Movable
memory39/valid_zones:Normal Movable
memory40/valid_zones:Normal Movable
memory41/valid_zones:Normal Movable
Now, we online block 34 in default mode and block 37 as movable
root@test1:/sys/devices/system/node/node1# echo online > memory34/state
root@test1:/sys/devices/system/node/node1# echo online_movable > memory37/state
memory34/valid_zones:Normal
memory35/valid_zones:Normal Movable
memory36/valid_zones:Normal Movable
memory37/valid_zones:Movable
memory38/valid_zones:Normal Movable
memory39/valid_zones:Normal Movable
memory40/valid_zones:Normal Movable
memory41/valid_zones:Normal Movable
As we can see all other blocks can still be onlined both into Normal and
Movable zones and the Normal is default because the Movable zone spans
only block37 now.
root@test1:/sys/devices/system/node/node1# echo online_movable > memory41/state
memory34/valid_zones:Normal
memory35/valid_zones:Normal Movable
memory36/valid_zones:Normal Movable
memory37/valid_zones:Movable
memory38/valid_zones:Movable Normal
memory39/valid_zones:Movable Normal
memory40/valid_zones:Movable Normal
memory41/valid_zones:Movable
Now the default zone for blocks 37-41 has changed because movable zone
spans that range.
root@test1:/sys/devices/system/node/node1# echo online_kernel > memory39/state
memory34/valid_zones:Normal
memory35/valid_zones:Normal Movable
memory36/valid_zones:Normal Movable
memory37/valid_zones:Movable
memory38/valid_zones:Normal Movable
memory39/valid_zones:Normal
memory40/valid_zones:Movable Normal
memory41/valid_zones:Movable
Note that the block 39 now belongs to the zone Normal and so block38
falls into Normal by default as well.
For completness
root@test1:/sys/devices/system/node/node1# for i in memory[34]?
do
echo online > $i/state 2>/dev/null
done
memory34/valid_zones:Normal
memory35/valid_zones:Normal
memory36/valid_zones:Normal
memory37/valid_zones:Movable
memory38/valid_zones:Normal
memory39/valid_zones:Normal
memory40/valid_zones:Movable
memory41/valid_zones:Movable
Implementation wise the change is quite straightforward. We can get rid
of allow_online_pfn_range altogether. online_pages allows only offline
nodes already. The original default_zone_for_pfn will become
default_kernel_zone_for_pfn. New default_zone_for_pfn implements the
above semantic. zone_for_pfn_range is slightly reorganized to implement
kernel and movable online type explicitly and MMOP_ONLINE_KEEP becomes a
catch all default behavior.

Prior to commit f1dd2cd13c ("mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate
hotadded memory to zones until online") we used to allow to change the
valid zone types of a memory block if it is adjacent to a different zone
type.
This fact was reflected in memoryNN/valid_zones by the ordering of
printed zones. The first one was default (echo online > memoryNN/state)
and the other one could be onlined explicitly by online_{movable,kernel}.
This behavior was removed by the said patch and as such the ordering was
not all that important. In most cases a kernel zone would be default
anyway. The only exception is movable_node handled by "mm,
memory_hotplug: support movable_node for hotpluggable nodes".
Let's reintroduce this behavior again because later patch will remove
the zone overlap restriction and so user will be allowed to online
kernel resp. movable block regardless of its placement. Original
behavior will then become significant again because it would be
non-trivial for users to see what is the default zone to online into.
Implementation is really simple. Pull out zone selection out of
move_pfn_range into zone_for_pfn_range helper and use it in
show_valid_zones to display the zone for default onlining and then both
kernel and movable if they are allowed. Default online zone is not
duplicated.

Commit 9adb62a5df ("mm/hotplug: correctly setup fallback zonelists
when creating new pgdat") tries to build the correct zonelist for a
newly added node, while it is not necessary to rebuild it for already
exist nodes.
In build_zonelists(), it will iterate on nodes with memory. For a newly
added node, it will have memory until node_states_set_node() is called
in online_pages().
This patch avoids rebuilding the zonelists for already existing nodes.
build_zonelists_node() uses managed_zone(zone) checks, so it should not
include empty zones anyway. So effectively we avoid some pointless work
under stop_machine().

Some shrinkers may only be able to free a bunch of objects at a time,
and so free more than the requested nr_to_scan in one pass.
Whilst other shrinkers may find themselves even unable to scan as many
objects as they counted, and so underreport. Account for the extra
freed/scanned objects against the total number of objects we intend to
scan, otherwise we may end up penalising the slab far more than
intended. Similarly, we want to add the underperforming scan to the
deferred pass so that we try harder and harder in future passes.

This SLUB free list pointer obfuscation code is modified from Brad
Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX
based on my understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the
original code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX
code.
This adds a per-cache random value to SLUB caches that is XORed with
their freelist pointer address and value. This adds nearly zero
overhead and frustrates the very common heap overflow exploitation
method of overwriting freelist pointers.
A recent example of the attack is written up here:
http://cyseclabs.com/blog/cve-2016-6187-heap-off-by-one-exploit
and there is a section dedicated to the technique the book "A Guide to
Kernel Exploitation: Attacking the Core".
This is based on patches by Daniel Micay, and refactored to minimize the
use of #ifdef.
With 200-count cycles of "hackbench -g 20 -l 1000" I saw the following
run times:
before:
mean 10.11882499999999999995
variance .03320378329145728642
stdev .18221905304181911048
after:
mean 10.12654000000000000014
variance .04700556623115577889
stdev .21680767106160192064
The difference gets lost in the noise, but if the above is to be taken
literally, using CONFIG_FREELIST_HARDENED is 0.07% slower.

Neither of these matter at runtime because the cache nodes cannot be

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.
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.
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.
This series solves these issues by following the lead of the DAX PMD
code and using a common 4k zero page instead. This reduces memory usage
and decreases latencies for some workloads, and it simplifies the DAX
code, removing over 100 lines in total.
This patch (of 5):
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.

Pull x86 mm changes from Ingo Molnar:
"PCID support, 5-level paging support, Secure Memory Encryption support
The main changes in this cycle are support for three new, complex
hardware features of x86 CPUs:
- Add 5-level paging support, which is a new hardware feature on
upcoming Intel CPUs allowing up to 128 PB of virtual address space
and 4 PB of physical RAM space - a 512-fold increase over the old
limits. (Supercomputers of the future forecasting hurricanes on an
ever warming planet can certainly make good use of more RAM.)
Many of the necessary changes went upstream in previous cycles,
v4.14 is the first kernel that can enable 5-level paging.
This feature is activated via CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y - disabled by
default.
(By Kirill A. Shutemov)
- Add 'encrypted memory' support, which is a new hardware feature on
upcoming AMD CPUs ('Secure Memory Encryption', SME) allowing system
RAM to be encrypted and decrypted (mostly) transparently by the
CPU, with a little help from the kernel to transition to/from
encrypted RAM. Such RAM should be more secure against various
attacks like RAM access via the memory bus and should make the
radio signature of memory bus traffic harder to intercept (and
decrypt) as well.
This feature is activated via CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y - disabled
by default.
(By Tom Lendacky)
- Enable PCID optimized TLB flushing on newer Intel CPUs: PCID is a
hardware feature that attaches an address space tag to TLB entries
and thus allows to skip TLB flushing in many cases, even if we
switch mm's.
(By Andy Lutomirski)
All three of these features were in the works for a long time, and
it's coincidence of the three independent development paths that they
are all enabled in v4.14 at once"

Wendy Wang reported off-list that a RAS HWPOISON-SOFT test case failed
and bisected it to the commit 479f854a20 ("mm, page_alloc: defer
debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP").
The problem is that a page that was poisoned with madvise() is reused.
The commit removed a check that would trigger if DEBUG_VM was enabled
but re-enabling the check only fixes the problem as a side-effect by
printing a bad_page warning and recovering.
The root of the problem is that an madvise() can leave a poisoned page
on the per-cpu list. This patch drains all per-cpu lists after pages
are poisoned so that they will not be reused. Wendy reports that the
test case in question passes with this patch applied. While this could
be done in a targeted fashion, it is over-complicated for such a rare
operation.

The invalidate_page callback suffered from two pitfalls. First it used
to happen after the page table lock was release and thus a new page
might have setup before the call to invalidate_page() happened.
This is in a weird way fixed by commit c7ab0d2fdc ("mm: convert
try_to_unmap_one() to use page_vma_mapped_walk()") that moved the
callback under the page table lock but this also broke several existing
users of the mmu_notifier API that assumed they could sleep inside this
callback.
The second pitfall was invalidate_page() being the only callback not
taking a range of address in respect to invalidation but was giving an
address and a page. Lots of the callback implementers assumed this
could never be THP and thus failed to invalidate the appropriate range
for THP.
By killing this callback we unify the mmu_notifier callback API to
always take a virtual address range as input.
Finally this also simplifies the end user life as there is now two clear
choices:
- invalidate_range_start()/end() callback (which allow you to sleep)
- invalidate_range() where you can not sleep but happen right after
page table update under page table lock

Replace all mmu_notifier_invalidate_page() calls by *_invalidate_range()
and make sure it is bracketed by calls to *_invalidate_range_start()/end().
Note that because we can not presume the pmd value or pte value we have
to assume the worst and unconditionaly report an invalidation as
happening.

This reverts commit aac2fea94f.
It turns out that that patch was complete and utter garbage, and broke
KVM, resulting in odd oopses.
Quoting Andrea Arcangeli:
"The aforementioned commit has 3 bugs.
1) mmu_notifier_invalidate_range cannot be used in replacement of
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end.
For KVM mmu_notifier_invalidate_range is a noop and rightfully so.
A MMU notifier implementation has to implement either
->invalidate_range method or the invalidate_range_start/end
methods, not both. And if you implement invalidate_range_start/end
like KVM is forced to do, calling mmu_notifier_invalidate_range in
common code is a noop for KVM.
For those MMU notifiers that can get away only implementing
->invalidate_range, the ->invalidate_range is implicitly called by
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(). And only those secondary MMUs
that share the same pagetable with the primary MMU (like AMD
iommuv2) can get away only implementing ->invalidate_range.
So all cases (THP on/off) are broken right now.
To fix this is enough to replace mmu_notifier_invalidate_range with
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start;mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end.
Either that or call multiple mmu_notifier_invalidate_page like
before.
2) address + (1UL << compound_order(page) is buggy, it should be
PAGE_SIZE << compound_order(page), it's bytes not pages, 2M not
512.
3) The whole invalidate_range thing was an attempt to call a single
invalidate while walking multiple 4k ptes that maps the same THP
(after a pmd virtual split without physical compound page THP
split).
It's unclear if the rmap_walk will always provide an address that
is 2M aligned as parameter to try_to_unmap_one, in presence of THP.
I think it needs also an address &= (PAGE_SIZE <<
compound_order(page)) - 1 to be safe"
In general, we should stop making excuses for horrible MMU notifier
users. It's much more important that the core VM is sane and safe, than
letting MMU notifiers sleep.
So if some MMU notifier is sleeping under a spinlock, we need to fix the
notifier, not try to make excuses for that garbage in the core VM.

Commit 3510ca20ec ("Minor page waitqueue cleanups") made the page
queue code always add new waiters to the back of the queue, which helps
upcoming patches to batch the wakeups for some horrid loads where the
wait queues grow to thousands of entries.
However, I forgot about the nasrt add_page_wait_queue() special case
code that is only used by the cachefiles code. That one still continued
to add the new wait queue entries at the beginning of the list.
Fix it, because any sane batched wakeup will require that we don't
suddenly start getting new entries at the beginning of the list that we
already handled in a previous batch.
[ The current code always does the whole list while holding the lock, so
wait queue ordering doesn't matter for correctness, but even then it's
better to add later entries at the end from a fairness standpoint ]

The "lock_page_killable()" function waits for exclusive access to the
page lock bit using the WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE bit in the waitqueue entry
set.
That means that if it gets woken up, other waiters may have been
skipped.
That, in turn, means that if it sees the page being unlocked, it *must*
take that lock and return success, even if a lethal signal is also
pending.
So instead of checking for lethal signals first, we need to check for
them after we've checked the actual bit that we were waiting for. Even
if that might then delay the killing of the process.
This matches the order of the old "wait_on_bit_lock()" infrastructure
that the page locking used to use (and is still used in a few other
areas).
Note that if we still return an error after having unsuccessfully tried
to acquire the page lock, that is ok: that means that some other thread
was able to get ahead of us and lock the page, and when that other
thread then unlocks the page, the wakeup event will be repeated. So any
other pending waiters will now get properly woken up.

Tim Chen and Kan Liang have been battling a customer load that shows
extremely long page wakeup lists. The cause seems to be constant NUMA
migration of a hot page that is shared across a lot of threads, but the
actual root cause for the exact behavior has not been found.
Tim has a patch that batches the wait list traversal at wakeup time, so
that we at least don't get long uninterruptible cases where we traverse
and wake up thousands of processes and get nasty latency spikes. That
is likely 4.14 material, but we're still discussing the page waitqueue
specific parts of it.
In the meantime, I've tried to look at making the page wait queues less
expensive, and failing miserably. If you have thousands of threads
waiting for the same page, it will be painful. We'll need to try to
figure out the NUMA balancing issue some day, in addition to avoiding
the excessive spinlock hold times.
That said, having tried to rewrite the page wait queues, I can at least
fix up some of the braindamage in the current situation. In particular:
(a) we don't want to continue walking the page wait list if the bit
we're waiting for already got set again (which seems to be one of
the patterns of the bad load). That makes no progress and just
causes pointless cache pollution chasing the pointers.
(b) we don't want to put the non-locking waiters always on the front of
the queue, and the locking waiters always on the back. Not only is
that unfair, it means that we wake up thousands of reading threads
that will just end up being blocked by the writer later anyway.
Also add a comment about the layout of 'struct wait_page_key' - there is
an external user of it in the cachefiles code that means that it has to
match the layout of 'struct wait_bit_key' in the two first members. It
so happens to match, because 'struct page *' and 'unsigned long *' end
up having the same values simply because the page flags are the first
member in struct page.
