mm: hugetlb: free the vmemmap pages associated with each HugeTLB page Every HugeTLB has more than one struct page structure. We __know__ that we only use the first 4 (__NR_USED_SUBPAGE) struct page structures to store metadata associated with each HugeTLB. There are a lot of struct page structures associated with each HugeTLB page. For tail pages, the value of compound_head is the same. So we can reuse first page of tail page structures. We map the virtual addresses of the remaining pages of tail page structures to the first tail page struct, and then free these page frames. Therefore, we need to reserve two pages as vmemmap areas. When we allocate a HugeTLB page from the buddy, we can free some vmemmap pages associated with each HugeTLB page. It is more appropriate to do it in the prep_new_huge_page(). The free_vmemmap_pages_per_hpage(), which indicates how many vmemmap pages associated with a HugeTLB page can be freed, returns zero for now, which means the feature is disabled. We will enable it once all the infrastructure is there.

* Free some vmemmap pages of HugeTLB

*
* The struct page structures (page structs) are used to describe a physical
* page frame. By default, there is a one-to-one mapping from a page frame to
* it's corresponding page struct.
*
* HugeTLB pages consist of multiple base page size pages and is supported by
* many architectures. See hugetlbpage.rst in the Documentation directory for
* more details. On the x86-64 architecture, HugeTLB pages of size 2MB and 1GB
* are currently supported. Since the base page size on x86 is 4KB, a 2MB
* HugeTLB page consists of 512 base pages and a 1GB HugeTLB page consists of
* 4096 base pages. For each base page, there is a corresponding page struct.
*
* Within the HugeTLB subsystem, only the first 4 page structs are used to
* contain unique information about a HugeTLB page. __NR_USED_SUBPAGE provides
* this upper limit. The only 'useful' information in the remaining page structs
* is the compound_head field, and this field is the same for all tail pages.
*
* By removing redundant page structs for HugeTLB pages, memory can be returned
* to the buddy allocator for other uses.
*
* Different architectures support different HugeTLB pages. For example, the
* following table is the HugeTLB page size supported by x86 and arm64
* architectures. Because arm64 supports 4k, 16k, and 64k base pages and
* supports contiguous entries, so it supports many kinds of sizes of HugeTLB
* page.
*
* +--------------+-----------+-----------------------------------------------+
* | Architecture | Page Size | HugeTLB Page Size |
* +--------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+
* | x86-64 | 4KB | 2MB | 1GB | | |
* +--------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+
* | | 4KB | 64KB | 2MB | 32MB | 1GB |
* | +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+
* | arm64 | 16KB | 2MB | 32MB | 1GB | |
* | +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+
* | | 64KB | 2MB | 512MB | 16GB | |
* +--------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+
*
* When the system boot up, every HugeTLB page has more than one struct page
* structs which size is (unit: pages):
*
* struct_size = HugeTLB_Size / PAGE_SIZE * sizeof(struct page) / PAGE_SIZE
*
* Where HugeTLB_Size is the size of the HugeTLB page. We know that the size
* of the HugeTLB page is always n times PAGE_SIZE. So we can get the following
* relationship.
*
* HugeTLB_Size = n * PAGE_SIZE
*
* Then,
*
* struct_size = n * PAGE_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE * sizeof(struct page) / PAGE_SIZE
* = n * sizeof(struct page) / PAGE_SIZE
*
* We can use huge mapping at the pud/pmd level for the HugeTLB page.
*
* For the HugeTLB page of the pmd level mapping, then
*
* struct_size = n * sizeof(struct page) / PAGE_SIZE
* = PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(pte_t) * sizeof(struct page) / PAGE_SIZE
* = sizeof(struct page) / sizeof(pte_t)
* = 64 / 8
* = 8 (pages)
*
* Where n is how many pte entries which one page can contains. So the value of
* n is (PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(pte_t)).
*
* This optimization only supports 64-bit system, so the value of sizeof(pte_t)
* is 8. And this optimization also applicable only when the size of struct page
* is a power of two. In most cases, the size of struct page is 64 bytes (e.g.
* x86-64 and arm64). So if we use pmd level mapping for a HugeTLB page, the
* size of struct page structs of it is 8 page frames which size depends on the
* size of the base page.
*
* For the HugeTLB page of the pud level mapping, then
*
* struct_size = PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(pmd_t) * struct_size(pmd)
* = PAGE_SIZE / 8 * 8 (pages)
* = PAGE_SIZE (pages)
*
* Where the struct_size(pmd) is the size of the struct page structs of a
* HugeTLB page of the pmd level mapping.
*
* E.g.: A 2MB HugeTLB page on x86_64 consists in 8 page frames while 1GB
* HugeTLB page consists in 4096.
*
* Next, we take the pmd level mapping of the HugeTLB page as an example to
* show the internal implementation of this optimization. There are 8 pages
* struct page structs associated with a HugeTLB page which is pmd mapped.
*
* Here is how things look before optimization.
*
* HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages)
* +-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+
* | | | 0 | -------------> | 0 |
* | | +-----------+ +-----------+
* | | | 1 | -------------> | 1 |

* +-----------+
*
* The value of page->compound_head is the same for all tail pages. The first
* page of page structs (page 0) associated with the HugeTLB page contains the 4
* page structs necessary to describe the HugeTLB. The only use of the remaining
* pages of page structs (page 1 to page 7) is to point to page->compound_head.
mm: hugetlb: free the 2nd vmemmap page associated with each HugeTLB page Patch series "Free the 2nd vmemmap page associated with each HugeTLB page", v7. This series can minimize the overhead of struct page for 2MB HugeTLB pages significantly. It further reduces the overhead of struct page by 12.5% for a 2MB HugeTLB compared to the previous approach, which means 2GB per 1TB HugeTLB. It is a nice gain. Comments and reviews are welcome. Thanks. The main implementation and details can refer to the commit log of patch 1. In this series, I have changed the following four helpers, the following table shows the impact of the overhead of those helpers. +------------------+-----------------------+ | APIs | head page | tail page | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | PageHead() | Y | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | PageTail() | Y | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | PageCompound() | N | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | compound_head() | Y | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ Y: Overhead is increased. N: Overhead is _NOT_ increased. It shows that the overhead of those helpers on a tail page don't change between "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" and "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=off". But the overhead on a head page will be increased when "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" (except PageCompound()). So I believe that Matthew Wilcox's folio series will help with this. The users of PageHead() and PageTail() are much less than compound_head() and most users of PageTail() are VM_BUG_ON(), so I have done some tests about the overhead of compound_head() on head pages. I have tested the overhead of calling compound_head() on a head page, which is 2.11ns (Measure the call time of 10 million times compound_head(), and then average). For a head page whose address is not aligned with PAGE_SIZE or a non-compound page, the overhead of compound_head() is 2.54ns which is increased by 20%. For a head page whose address is aligned with PAGE_SIZE, the overhead of compound_head() is 2.97ns which is increased by 40%. Most pages are the former. I do not think the overhead is significant since the overhead of compound_head() itself is low. This patch (of 5): This patch minimizes the overhead of struct page for 2MB HugeTLB pages significantly. It further reduces the overhead of struct page by 12.5% for a 2MB HugeTLB compared to the previous approach, which means 2GB per 1TB HugeTLB (2MB type). After the feature of "Free sonme vmemmap pages of HugeTLB page" is enabled, the mapping of the vmemmap addresses associated with a 2MB HugeTLB page becomes the figure below. HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages) +-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+---> PG_head | | | 0 | -------------> | 0 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 1 | -------------> | 1 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 2 | ----------------^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | 3 | ------------------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | 4 | --------------------+ | | | | 2MB | +-----------+ | | | | | | 5 | ----------------------+ | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | 6 | ------------------------+ | | | +-----------+ | | | | 7 | --------------------------+ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ As we can see, the 2nd vmemmap page frame (indexed by 1) is reused and remaped. However, the 2nd vmemmap page frame is also can be freed to the buddy allocator, then we can change the mapping from the figure above to the figure below. HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages) +-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+---> PG_head | | | 0 | -------------> | 0 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 1 | ---------------^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | | 2 | -----------------+ | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | 3 | -------------------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | 4 | ---------------------+ | | | | 2MB | +-----------+ | | | | | | 5 | -----------------------+ | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | 6 | -------------------------+ | | | +-----------+ | | | | 7 | ---------------------------+ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ After we do this, all tail vmemmap pages (1-7) are mapped to the head vmemmap page frame (0). In other words, there are more than one page struct with PG_head associated with each HugeTLB page. We __know__ that there is only one head page struct, the tail page structs with PG_head are fake head page structs. We need an approach to distinguish between those two different types of page structs so that compound_head(), PageHead() and PageTail() can work properly if the parameter is the tail page struct but with PG_head. The following code snippet describes how to distinguish between real and fake head page struct. if (test_bit(PG_head, &page->flags)) { unsigned long head = READ_ONCE(page[1].compound_head); if (head & 1) { if (head == (unsigned long)page + 1) ==> head page struct else ==> tail page struct } else ==> head page struct } We can safely access the field of the @page[1] with PG_head because the @page is a compound page composed with at least two contiguous pages.

mm: hugetlb: free the 2nd vmemmap page associated with each HugeTLB page Patch series "Free the 2nd vmemmap page associated with each HugeTLB page", v7. This series can minimize the overhead of struct page for 2MB HugeTLB pages significantly. It further reduces the overhead of struct page by 12.5% for a 2MB HugeTLB compared to the previous approach, which means 2GB per 1TB HugeTLB. It is a nice gain. Comments and reviews are welcome. Thanks. The main implementation and details can refer to the commit log of patch 1. In this series, I have changed the following four helpers, the following table shows the impact of the overhead of those helpers. +------------------+-----------------------+ | APIs | head page | tail page | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | PageHead() | Y | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | PageTail() | Y | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | PageCompound() | N | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | compound_head() | Y | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ Y: Overhead is increased. N: Overhead is _NOT_ increased. It shows that the overhead of those helpers on a tail page don't change between "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" and "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=off". But the overhead on a head page will be increased when "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" (except PageCompound()). So I believe that Matthew Wilcox's folio series will help with this. The users of PageHead() and PageTail() are much less than compound_head() and most users of PageTail() are VM_BUG_ON(), so I have done some tests about the overhead of compound_head() on head pages. I have tested the overhead of calling compound_head() on a head page, which is 2.11ns (Measure the call time of 10 million times compound_head(), and then average). For a head page whose address is not aligned with PAGE_SIZE or a non-compound page, the overhead of compound_head() is 2.54ns which is increased by 20%. For a head page whose address is aligned with PAGE_SIZE, the overhead of compound_head() is 2.97ns which is increased by 40%. Most pages are the former. I do not think the overhead is significant since the overhead of compound_head() itself is low. This patch (of 5): This patch minimizes the overhead of struct page for 2MB HugeTLB pages significantly. It further reduces the overhead of struct page by 12.5% for a 2MB HugeTLB compared to the previous approach, which means 2GB per 1TB HugeTLB (2MB type). After the feature of "Free sonme vmemmap pages of HugeTLB page" is enabled, the mapping of the vmemmap addresses associated with a 2MB HugeTLB page becomes the figure below. HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages) +-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+---> PG_head | | | 0 | -------------> | 0 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 1 | -------------> | 1 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 2 | ----------------^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | 3 | ------------------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | 4 | --------------------+ | | | | 2MB | +-----------+ | | | | | | 5 | ----------------------+ | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | 6 | ------------------------+ | | | +-----------+ | | | | 7 | --------------------------+ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ As we can see, the 2nd vmemmap page frame (indexed by 1) is reused and remaped. However, the 2nd vmemmap page frame is also can be freed to the buddy allocator, then we can change the mapping from the figure above to the figure below. HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages) +-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+---> PG_head | | | 0 | -------------> | 0 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 1 | ---------------^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | | 2 | -----------------+ | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | 3 | -------------------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | 4 | ---------------------+ | | | | 2MB | +-----------+ | | | | | | 5 | -----------------------+ | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | 6 | -------------------------+ | | | +-----------+ | | | | 7 | ---------------------------+ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ After we do this, all tail vmemmap pages (1-7) are mapped to the head vmemmap page frame (0). In other words, there are more than one page struct with PG_head associated with each HugeTLB page. We __know__ that there is only one head page struct, the tail page structs with PG_head are fake head page structs. We need an approach to distinguish between those two different types of page structs so that compound_head(), PageHead() and PageTail() can work properly if the parameter is the tail page struct but with PG_head. The following code snippet describes how to distinguish between real and fake head page struct. if (test_bit(PG_head, &page->flags)) { unsigned long head = READ_ONCE(page[1].compound_head); if (head & 1) { if (head == (unsigned long)page + 1) ==> head page struct else ==> tail page struct } else ==> head page struct } We can safely access the field of the @page[1] with PG_head because the @page is a compound page composed with at least two contiguous pages.

mm: hugetlb: free the vmemmap pages associated with each HugeTLB page Every HugeTLB has more than one struct page structure. We __know__ that we only use the first 4 (__NR_USED_SUBPAGE) struct page structures to store metadata associated with each HugeTLB. There are a lot of struct page structures associated with each HugeTLB page. For tail pages, the value of compound_head is the same. So we can reuse first page of tail page structures. We map the virtual addresses of the remaining pages of tail page structures to the first tail page struct, and then free these page frames. Therefore, we need to reserve two pages as vmemmap areas. When we allocate a HugeTLB page from the buddy, we can free some vmemmap pages associated with each HugeTLB page. It is more appropriate to do it in the prep_new_huge_page(). The free_vmemmap_pages_per_hpage(), which indicates how many vmemmap pages associated with a HugeTLB page can be freed, returns zero for now, which means the feature is disabled.

mm: hugetlb: free the 2nd vmemmap page associated with each HugeTLB page Patch series "Free the 2nd vmemmap page associated with each HugeTLB page", v7. This series can minimize the overhead of struct page for 2MB HugeTLB pages significantly. It further reduces the overhead of struct page by 12.5% for a 2MB HugeTLB compared to the previous approach, which means 2GB per 1TB HugeTLB. It is a nice gain. Comments and reviews are welcome. Thanks. The main implementation and details can refer to the commit log of patch 1. In this series, I have changed the following four helpers, the following table shows the impact of the overhead of those helpers. +------------------+-----------------------+ | APIs | head page | tail page | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | PageHead() | Y | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | PageTail() | Y | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | PageCompound() | N | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | compound_head() | Y | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ Y: Overhead is increased. N: Overhead is _NOT_ increased. It shows that the overhead of those helpers on a tail page don't change between "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" and "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=off". But the overhead on a head page will be increased when "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" (except PageCompound()). So I believe that Matthew Wilcox's folio series will help with this. The users of PageHead() and PageTail() are much less than compound_head() and most users of PageTail() are VM_BUG_ON(), so I have done some tests about the overhead of compound_head() on head pages. I have tested the overhead of calling compound_head() on a head page, which is 2.11ns (Measure the call time of 10 million times compound_head(), and then average). For a head page whose address is not aligned with PAGE_SIZE or a non-compound page, the overhead of compound_head() is 2.54ns which is increased by 20%. For a head page whose address is aligned with PAGE_SIZE, the overhead of compound_head() is 2.97ns which is increased by 40%. Most pages are the former. I do not think the overhead is significant since the overhead of compound_head() itself is low. This patch (of 5): This patch minimizes the overhead of struct page for 2MB HugeTLB pages significantly. It further reduces the overhead of struct page by 12.5% for a 2MB HugeTLB compared to the previous approach, which means 2GB per 1TB HugeTLB (2MB type). After the feature of "Free sonme vmemmap pages of HugeTLB page" is enabled, the mapping of the vmemmap addresses associated with a 2MB HugeTLB page becomes the figure below. HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages) +-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+---> PG_head | | | 0 | -------------> | 0 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 1 | -------------> | 1 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 2 | ----------------^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | 3 | ------------------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | 4 | --------------------+ | | | | 2MB | +-----------+ | | | | | | 5 | ----------------------+ | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | 6 | ------------------------+ | | | +-----------+ | | | | 7 | --------------------------+ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ As we can see, the 2nd vmemmap page frame (indexed by 1) is reused and remaped. However, the 2nd vmemmap page frame is also can be freed to the buddy allocator, then we can change the mapping from the figure above to the figure below. HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages) +-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+---> PG_head | | | 0 | -------------> | 0 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 1 | ---------------^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | | 2 | -----------------+ | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | 3 | -------------------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | 4 | ---------------------+ | | | | 2MB | +-----------+ | | | | | | 5 | -----------------------+ | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | 6 | -------------------------+ | | | +-----------+ | | | | 7 | ---------------------------+ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ After we do this, all tail vmemmap pages (1-7) are mapped to the head vmemmap page frame (0). In other words, there are more than one page struct with PG_head associated with each HugeTLB page. We __know__ that there is only one head page struct, the tail page structs with PG_head are fake head page structs. We need an approach to distinguish between those two different types of page structs so that compound_head(), PageHead() and PageTail() can work properly if the parameter is the tail page struct but with PG_head.

mm: hugetlb: free the 2nd vmemmap page associated with each HugeTLB page Patch series "Free the 2nd vmemmap page associated with each HugeTLB page", v7. This series can minimize the overhead of struct page for 2MB HugeTLB pages significantly. It further reduces the overhead of struct page by 12.5% for a 2MB HugeTLB compared to the previous approach, which means 2GB per 1TB HugeTLB. It is a nice gain. Comments and reviews are welcome. Thanks. The main implementation and details can refer to the commit log of patch 1. In this series, I have changed the following four helpers, the following table shows the impact of the overhead of those helpers. +------------------+-----------------------+ | APIs | head page | tail page | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | PageHead() | Y | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | PageTail() | Y | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | PageCompound() | N | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | compound_head() | Y | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ Y: Overhead is increased. N: Overhead is _NOT_ increased. It shows that the overhead of those helpers on a tail page don't change between "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" and "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=off". But the overhead on a head page will be increased when "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" (except PageCompound()). So I believe that Matthew Wilcox's folio series will help with this. The users of PageHead() and PageTail() are much less than compound_head() and most users of PageTail() are VM_BUG_ON(), so I have done some tests about the overhead of compound_head() on head pages. I have tested the overhead of calling compound_head() on a head page, which is 2.11ns (Measure the call time of 10 million times compound_head(), and then average). For a head page whose address is not aligned with PAGE_SIZE or a non-compound page, the overhead of compound_head() is 2.54ns which is increased by 20%. For a head page whose address is aligned with PAGE_SIZE, the overhead of compound_head() is 2.97ns which is increased by 40%. Most pages are the former. I do not think the overhead is significant since the overhead of compound_head() itself is low. This patch (of 5): This patch minimizes the overhead of struct page for 2MB HugeTLB pages significantly. It further reduces the overhead of struct page by 12.5% for a 2MB HugeTLB compared to the previous approach, which means 2GB per 1TB HugeTLB (2MB type). After the feature of "Free sonme vmemmap pages of HugeTLB page" is enabled, the mapping of the vmemmap addresses associated with a 2MB HugeTLB page becomes the figure below. HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages) +-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+---> PG_head | | | 0 | -------------> | 0 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 1 | -------------> | 1 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 2 | ----------------^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | 3 | ------------------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | 4 | --------------------+ | | | | 2MB | +-----------+ | | | | | | 5 | ----------------------+ | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | 6 | ------------------------+ | | | +-----------+ | | | | 7 | --------------------------+ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ As we can see, the 2nd vmemmap page frame (indexed by 1) is reused and remaped. However, the 2nd vmemmap page frame is also can be freed to the buddy allocator, then we can change the mapping from the figure above to the figure below. HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages) +-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+---> PG_head | | | 0 | -------------> | 0 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 1 | ---------------^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | | 2 | -----------------+ | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | 3 | -------------------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | 4 | ---------------------+ | | | | 2MB | +-----------+ | | | | | | 5 | -----------------------+ | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | 6 | -------------------------+ | | | +-----------+ | | | | 7 | ---------------------------+ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ After we do this, all tail vmemmap pages (1-7) are mapped to the head vmemmap page frame (0). In other words, there are more than one page struct with PG_head associated with each HugeTLB page. We __know__ that there is only one head page struct, the tail page structs with PG_head are fake head page structs. We need an approach to distinguish between those two different types of page structs so that compound_head(), PageHead() and PageTail() can work properly if the parameter is the tail page struct but with PG_head. The following code snippet describes how to distinguish between real and fake head page struct. if (test_bit(PG_head, &page->flags)) { unsigned long head = READ_ONCE(page[1].compound_head); if (head & 1) { if (head == (unsigned long)page + 1) ==> head page struct else ==> tail page struct } else ==> head page struct } We can safely access the field of the @page[1] with PG_head because the @page is a compound page composed with at least two contiguous pages.

mm: hugetlb: alloc the vmemmap pages associated with each HugeTLB page When we free a HugeTLB page to the buddy allocator, we need to allocate the vmemmap pages associated with it. However, we may not be able to allocate the vmemmap pages when the system is under memory pressure. In this case, we just refuse to free the HugeTLB page. This changes behavior in some corner cases as listed below: 1) Failing to free a huge page triggered by the user (decrease nr_pages). User needs to try again later. 2) Failing to free a surplus huge page when freed by the application. Try again later when freeing a huge page next time. 3) Failing to dissolve a free huge page on ZONE_MOVABLE via offline_pages(). This can happen when we have plenty of ZONE_MOVABLE memory, but not enough kernel memory to allocate vmemmmap pages. We may even be able to migrate huge page contents, but will not be able to dissolve the source huge page. This will prevent an offline operation and is unfortunate as memory offlining is expected to succeed on movable zones. Users that depend on memory hotplug to succeed for movable zones should carefully consider whether the memory savings gained from this feature are worth the risk of possibly not being able to offline memory in certain situations. 4) Failing to dissolve a huge page on CMA/ZONE_MOVABLE via alloc_contig_range() - once we have that handling in place. Mainly affects CMA and virtio-mem. Similar to 3). virito-mem will handle migration errors gracefully. CMA might be able to fallback on other free areas within the CMA region. Vmemmap pages are allocated from the page freeing context. In order for those allocations to be not disruptive (e.g. trigger oom killer) __GFP_NORETRY is used. hugetlb_lock is dropped for the allocation because a non sleeping allocation would be too fragile and it could fail too easily under memory pressure. GFP_ATOMIC or other modes to access memory reserves is not used because we want to prevent consuming reserves under heavy hugetlb freeing.

mm: sparsemem: split the huge PMD mapping of vmemmap pages Patch series "Split huge PMD mapping of vmemmap pages", v4. In order to reduce the difficulty of code review in series[1]. We disable huge PMD mapping of vmemmap pages when that feature is enabled. In this series, we do not disable huge PMD mapping of vmemmap pages anymore. We will split huge PMD mapping when needed. When HugeTLB pages are freed from the pool we do not attempt coalasce and move back to a PMD mapping because it is much more complex. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/20210510030027.56044-1-songmuchun@bytedance.com/ This patch (of 3): In [1], PMD mappings of vmemmap pages were disabled if the the feature hugetlb_free_vmemmap was enabled. This was done to simplify the initial implementation of vmmemap freeing for hugetlb pages. Now, remove this simplification by allowing PMD mapping and switching to PTE mappings as needed for allocated hugetlb pages. When a hugetlb page is allocated, the vmemmap page tables are walked to free vmemmap pages. During this walk, split huge PMD mappings to PTE mappings as required. In the unlikely case PTE pages can not be allocated, return error(ENOMEM) and do not optimize vmemmap of the hugetlb page. When HugeTLB pages are freed from the pool, we do not attempt to coalesce and move back to a PMD mapping because it is much more complex.

mm: hugetlb: free the 2nd vmemmap page associated with each HugeTLB page Patch series "Free the 2nd vmemmap page associated with each HugeTLB page", v7. This series can minimize the overhead of struct page for 2MB HugeTLB pages significantly. It further reduces the overhead of struct page by 12.5% for a 2MB HugeTLB compared to the previous approach, which means 2GB per 1TB HugeTLB. It is a nice gain. Comments and reviews are welcome. Thanks. The main implementation and details can refer to the commit log of patch 1. In this series, I have changed the following four helpers, the following table shows the impact of the overhead of those helpers. +------------------+-----------------------+ | APIs | head page | tail page | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | PageHead() | Y | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | PageTail() | Y | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | PageCompound() | N | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | compound_head() | Y | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ Y: Overhead is increased. N: Overhead is _NOT_ increased. It shows that the overhead of those helpers on a tail page don't change between "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" and "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=off". But the overhead on a head page will be increased when "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" (except PageCompound()). So I believe that Matthew Wilcox's folio series will help with this. The users of PageHead() and PageTail() are much less than compound_head() and most users of PageTail() are VM_BUG_ON(), so I have done some tests about the overhead of compound_head() on head pages. I have tested the overhead of calling compound_head() on a head page, which is 2.11ns (Measure the call time of 10 million times compound_head(), and then average). For a head page whose address is not aligned with PAGE_SIZE or a non-compound page, the overhead of compound_head() is 2.54ns which is increased by 20%. For a head page whose address is aligned with PAGE_SIZE, the overhead of compound_head() is 2.97ns which is increased by 40%. Most pages are the former. I do not think the overhead is significant since the overhead of compound_head() itself is low. This patch (of 5): This patch minimizes the overhead of struct page for 2MB HugeTLB pages significantly. It further reduces the overhead of struct page by 12.5% for a 2MB HugeTLB compared to the previous approach, which means 2GB per 1TB HugeTLB (2MB type). After the feature of "Free sonme vmemmap pages of HugeTLB page" is enabled, the mapping of the vmemmap addresses associated with a 2MB HugeTLB page becomes the figure below. HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages) +-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+---> PG_head | | | 0 | -------------> | 0 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 1 | -------------> | 1 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 2 | ----------------^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | 3 | ------------------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | 4 | --------------------+ | | | | 2MB | +-----------+ | | | | | | 5 | ----------------------+ | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | 6 | ------------------------+ | | | +-----------+ | | | | 7 | --------------------------+ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ As we can see, the 2nd vmemmap page frame (indexed by 1) is reused and remaped. However, the 2nd vmemmap page frame is also can be freed to the buddy allocator, then we can change the mapping from the figure above to the figure below. HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages) +-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+---> PG_head | | | 0 | -------------> | 0 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 1 | ---------------^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | | 2 | -----------------+ | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | 3 | -------------------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | 4 | ---------------------+ | | | | 2MB | +-----------+ | | | | | | 5 | -----------------------+ | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | 6 | -------------------------+ | | | +-----------+ | | | | 7 | ---------------------------+ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ After we do this, all tail vmemmap pages (1-7) are mapped to the head vmemmap page frame (0). In other words, there are more than one page struct with PG_head associated with each HugeTLB page. We __know__ that there is only one head page struct, the tail page structs with PG_head are fake head page structs. We need an approach to distinguish between those two different types of page structs so that compound_head(), PageHead() and PageTail() can work properly if the parameter is the tail page struct but with PG_head. The following code snippet describes how to distinguish between real and fake head page struct. if (test_bit(PG_head, &page->flags)) { unsigned long head = READ_ONCE(page[1].compound_head); if (head & 1) { if (head == (unsigned long)page + 1) ==> head page struct else ==> tail page struct } else ==> head page struct } We can safely access the field of the @page[1] with PG_head because the @page is a compound page composed with at least two contiguous pages.

* The head page is not to be freed to buddy allocator, the other tail
* pages will map to the head page, so they can be freed.
mm: hugetlb: introduce nr_free_vmemmap_pages in the struct hstate All the infrastructure is ready, so we introduce nr_free_vmemmap_pages field in the hstate to indicate how many vmemmap pages associated with a HugeTLB page that can be freed to buddy allocator. And initialize it in the hugetlb_vmemmap_init(). This patch is actual enablement of the feature. There are only (RESERVE_VMEMMAP_SIZE / sizeof(struct page)) struct page structs that can be used when CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP, so add a BUILD_BUG_ON to catch invalid usage of the tail struct page.
