Alpha already had an optimised fill-memory-with-16-bit-quantity
assembler routine called memsetw(). It has a slightly different calling
convention from memset16() in that it takes a byte count, not a count of
words. That's the same convention used by ARM's __memset routines, so
rename Alpha's routine to match and add a memset16() wrapper around it.
Then convert Alpha's scr_memsetw() to call memset16() instead of
memsetw().

Patch series "Multibyte memset variations", v4.
A relatively common idiom we're missing is a function to fill an area of
memory with a pattern which is larger than a single byte. I first
noticed this with a zram patch which wanted to fill a page with an
'unsigned long' value. There turn out to be quite a few places in the
kernel which can benefit from using an optimised function rather than a
loop; sometimes text size, sometimes speed, and sometimes both. The
optimised PowerPC version (not included here) improves performance by
about 30% on POWER8 on just the raw memset_l().
Most of the extra lines of code come from the three testcases I added.
This patch (of 8):
memset16(), memset32() and memset64() are like memset(), but allow the
caller to fill the destination with a value larger than a single byte.
memset_l() and memset_p() allow the caller to use unsigned long and
pointer values respectively.

without split pmd locks, there can be significant and observable

Always reschedule in smaps_pte_range() if necessary since the pagewalk

The fadvise() manpage is silent on fadvise()'s effect on memory-based
filesystems (shmem, hugetlbfs & ramfs) and pseudo file systems (procfs,
sysfs, kernfs). The current implementaion of fadvise is mostly a noop
for such filesystems except for FADV_DONTNEED which will trigger
expensive remote LRU cache draining. This patch makes the noop of
fadvise() on such file systems very explicit.
However this change has two side effects for ramfs and one for tmpfs.
First fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED) could remove the unmapped clean zero'ed
pages of ramfs (allocated through read, readahead & read fault) and
tmpfs (allocated through read fault). Also fadvise(FADV_WILLNEED) could
create such clean zero'ed pages for ramfs. This change removes those
possibilities.
One of our generic libraries does fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED). Recently we
observed high latency in fadvise() and noticed that the users have
started using tmpfs files and the latency was due to expensive remote
LRU cache draining. For normal tmpfs files (have data written on them),
fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED) will always trigger the unneeded remote cache
draining.

page_bench03 benchmark. Meanwhile, this patchset keeps the same style
of virtual memory statistics with little end-user-visible effects (only
move the numa stats to show behind zone page stats, see the first patch
for details).
I did an experiment of single page allocation and reclaim concurrently
using Jesper's page_bench03 benchmark on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based
server (88 processors with 126G memory) with different size of threshold
of pcp counter.

In this patch, NUMA statistics is separated from zone statistics
framework, all the call sites of NUMA stats are changed to use
numa-stats-specific functions, it does not have any functionality change
except that the number of NUMA stats is shown behind zone page stats
when users *read* the zone info.

This is an enhancement to avoid a non cooperative userfaultfd manager
having to unregister all regions before it can close the uffd after all
userfaultfd activity completed.
The UFFDIO_UNREGISTER would serialize against the handle_userfault by
taking the mmap_sem for writing, but we can simply repeat the page fault
if we detect the uffd was closed and so the regular page fault paths
should takeover.

This is useful to device driver that want to migrate a range of virtual

on.

This patch add a new memory migration helpers, which migrate memory
backing a range of virtual address of a process to different memory (which
can be allocated through special allocator). It differs from numa
migration by working on a range of virtual address and thus by doing
migration in chunk that can be large enough to use DMA engine or special
copy offloading engine.
Expected users are any one with heterogeneous memory where different
memory have different characteristics (latency, bandwidth, ...). As an
example IBM platform with CAPI bus can make use of this feature to migrate
between regular memory and CAPI device memory. New CPU architecture with
a pool of high performance memory not manage as cache but presented as
regular memory (while being faster and with lower latency than DDR) will
also be prime user of this patch.
Migration to private device memory will be useful for device that have
large pool of such like GPU, NVidia plans to use HMM for that.

Introduce a new migration mode that allow to offload the copy to a device
DMA engine. This changes the workflow of migration and not all
address_space migratepage callback can support this.
This is intended to be use by migrate_vma() which itself is use for thing
like HMM (see include/linux/hmm.h).
No additional per-filesystem migratepage testing is needed. I disables
MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY in all problematic migratepage() callback and i
added comment in those to explain why (part of this patch). The commit
message is unclear it should say that any callback that wish to support
this new mode need to be aware of the difference in the migration flow
from other mode.
Some of these callbacks do extra locking while copying (aio, zsmalloc,
balloon, ...) and for DMA to be effective you want to copy multiple
pages in one DMA operations. But in the problematic case you can not
easily hold the extra lock accross multiple call to this callback.
Usual flow is:
For each page {
1 - lock page
2 - call migratepage() callback
3 - (extra locking in some migratepage() callback)
4 - migrate page state (freeze refcount, update page cache, buffer
head, ...)
5 - copy page
6 - (unlock any extra lock of migratepage() callback)
7 - return from migratepage() callback
8 - unlock page
}
The new mode MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY:
1 - lock multiple pages
For each page {
2 - call migratepage() callback
3 - abort in all problematic migratepage() callback
4 - migrate page state (freeze refcount, update page cache, buffer
head, ...)
} // finished all calls to migratepage() callback
5 - DMA copy multiple pages
6 - unlock all the pages
To support MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY in the problematic case we would need a
new callback migratepages() (for instance) that deals with multiple
pages in one transaction.
Because the problematic cases are not important for current usage I did
not wanted to complexify this patchset even more for no good reason.

This introduce a simple struct and associated helpers for device driver to
use when hotpluging un-addressable device memory as ZONE_DEVICE. It will
find a unuse physical address range and trigger memory hotplug for it
which allocates and initialize struct page for the device memory.
Device driver should use this helper during device initialization to
hotplug the device memory. It should only need to remove the memory once
the device is going offline (shutdown or hotremove). There should not be
any userspace API to hotplug memory expect maybe for host device driver to
allow to add more memory to a guest device driver.
Device's memory is manage by the device driver and HMM only provides
helpers to that effect.

A ZONE_DEVICE page that reach a refcount of 1 is free ie no longer have
any user. For device private pages this is important to catch and thus we
need to special case put_page() for this.

HMM (heterogeneous memory management) need struct page to support
migration from system main memory to device memory. Reasons for HMM and
migration to device memory is explained with HMM core patch.
This patch deals with device memory that is un-addressable memory (ie CPU
can not access it). Hence we do not want those struct page to be manage
like regular memory. That is why we extend ZONE_DEVICE to support
different types of memory.
A persistent memory type is define for existing user of ZONE_DEVICE and a
new device un-addressable type is added for the un-addressable memory
type. There is a clear separation between what is expected from each
memory type and existing user of ZONE_DEVICE are un-affected by new
requirement and new use of the un-addressable type. All specific code
path are protect with test against the memory type.
Because memory is un-addressable we use a new special swap type for when a
page is migrated to device memory (this reduces the number of maximum swap
file).
The main two additions beside memory type to ZONE_DEVICE is two callbacks.
First one, page_free() is call whenever page refcount reach 1 (which
means the page is free as ZONE_DEVICE page never reach a refcount of 0).
This allow device driver to manage its memory and associated struct page.
The second callback page_fault() happens when there is a CPU access to an
address that is back by a device page (which are un-addressable by the
CPU). This callback is responsible to migrate the page back to system
main memory. Device driver can not block migration back to system memory,
HMM make sure that such page can not be pin into device memory.
If device is in some error condition and can not migrate memory back then
a CPU page fault to device memory should end with SIGBUS.

There are new users of memory hotplug emerging. Some of them require
different subset of arch_add_memory. There are some which only require
allocation of struct pages without mapping those pages to the kernel
address space. We currently have __add_pages for that purpose. But this
is rather lowlevel and not very suitable for the code outside of the
memory hotplug. E.g. x86_64 wants to update max_pfn which should be done
by the caller. Introduce add_pages() which should care about those
details if they are needed. Each architecture should define its
implementation and select CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ADD_PAGES. All others use the
currently existing __add_pages.

This is a heterogeneous memory management (HMM) process address space
mirroring. In a nutshell this provide an API to mirror process address
space on a device. This boils down to keeping CPU and device page table
synchronize (we assume that both device and CPU are cache coherent like
PCIe device can be).
This patch provide a simple API for device driver to achieve address space
mirroring thus avoiding each device driver to grow its own CPU page table
walker and its own CPU page table synchronization mechanism.
This is useful for NVidia GPU >= Pascal, Mellanox IB >= mlx5 and more
hardware in the future.

HMM provides 3 separate types of functionality:
- Mirroring: synchronize CPU page table and device page table
- Device memory: allocating struct page for device memory
- Migration: migrating regular memory to device memory
This patch introduces some common helpers and definitions to all of
those 3 functionality.

Patch series "HMM (Heterogeneous Memory Management)", v25.
Heterogeneous Memory Management (HMM) (description and justification)
Today device driver expose dedicated memory allocation API through their
device file, often relying on a combination of IOCTL and mmap calls.
The device can only access and use memory allocated through this API.
This effectively split the program address space into object allocated
for the device and useable by the device and other regular memory
(malloc, mmap of a file, share memory, â) only accessible by
CPU (or in a very limited way by a device by pinning memory).
Allowing different isolated component of a program to use a device thus
require duplication of the input data structure using device memory
allocator. This is reasonable for simple data structure (array, grid,
image, â) but this get extremely complex with advance data
structure (list, tree, graph, â) that rely on a web of memory
pointers. This is becoming a serious limitation on the kind of work
load that can be offloaded to device like GPU.
New industry standard like C++, OpenCL or CUDA are pushing to remove
this barrier. This require a shared address space between GPU device
and CPU so that GPU can access any memory of a process (while still
obeying memory protection like read only). This kind of feature is also
appearing in various other operating systems.
HMM is a set of helpers to facilitate several aspects of address space
sharing and device memory management. Unlike existing sharing mechanism
that rely on pining pages use by a device, HMM relies on mmu_notifier to
propagate CPU page table update to device page table.
Duplicating CPU page table is only one aspect necessary for efficiently
using device like GPU. GPU local memory have bandwidth in the TeraBytes/
second range but they are connected to main memory through a system bus
like PCIE that is limited to 32GigaBytes/second (PCIE 4.0 16x). Thus it
is necessary to allow migration of process memory from main system memory
to device memory. Issue is that on platform that only have PCIE the
device memory is not accessible by the CPU with the same properties as
main memory (cache coherency, atomic operations, ...).
To allow migration from main memory to device memory HMM provides a set of
helper to hotplug device memory as a new type of ZONE_DEVICE memory which
is un-addressable by CPU but still has struct page representing it. This
allow most of the core kernel logic that deals with a process memory to
stay oblivious of the peculiarity of device memory.
When page backing an address of a process is migrated to device memory the
CPU page table entry is set to a new specific swap entry. CPU access to
such address triggers a migration back to system memory, just like if the
page was swap on disk. HMM also blocks any one from pinning a ZONE_DEVICE
page so that it can always be migrated back to system memory if CPU access
it. Conversely HMM does not migrate to device memory any page that is pin
in system memory.
To allow efficient migration between device memory and main memory a new
migrate_vma() helpers is added with this patchset. It allows to leverage
device DMA engine to perform the copy operation.
This feature will be use by upstream driver like nouveau mlx5 and probably
other in the future (amdgpu is next suspect in line). We are actively
working on nouveau and mlx5 support. To test this patchset we also worked
with NVidia close source driver team, they have more resources than us to
test this kind of infrastructure and also a bigger and better userspace
eco-system with various real industry workload they can be use to test and
profile HMM.
The expected workload is a program builds a data set on the CPU (from
disk, from network, from sensors, â). Program uses GPU API (OpenCL,
CUDA, ...) to give hint on memory placement for the input data and also
for the output buffer. Program call GPU API to schedule a GPU job, this
happens using device driver specific ioctl. All this is hidden from
programmer point of view in case of C++ compiler that transparently
offload some part of a program to GPU. Program can keep doing other stuff
on the CPU while the GPU is crunching numbers.
It is expected that CPU will not access the same data set as the GPU while
GPU is working on it, but this is not mandatory. In fact we expect some
small memory object to be actively access by both GPU and CPU concurrently
as synchronization channel and/or for monitoring purposes. Such object
will stay in system memory and should not be bottlenecked by system bus
bandwidth (rare write and read access from both CPU and GPU).
As we are relying on device driver API, HMM does not introduce any new
syscall nor does it modify any existing ones. It does not change any
POSIX semantics or behaviors. For instance the child after a fork of a
process that is using HMM will not be impacted in anyway, nor is there any
data hazard between child COW or parent COW of memory that was migrated to
device prior to fork.
HMM assume a numbers of hardware features. Device must allow device page
table to be updated at any time (ie device job must be preemptable).
Device page table must provides memory protection such as read only.
Device must track write access (dirty bit). Device must have a minimum
granularity that match PAGE_SIZE (ie 4k).
Reviewer (just hint):
Patch 1 HMM documentation
Patch 2 introduce core infrastructure and definition of HMM, pretty
small patch and easy to review
Patch 3 introduce the mirror functionality of HMM, it relies on
mmu_notifier and thus someone familiar with that part would be
in better position to review
Patch 4 is an helper to snapshot CPU page table while synchronizing with
concurrent page table update. Understanding mmu_notifier makes
review easier.
Patch 5 is mostly a wrapper around handle_mm_fault()
Patch 6 add new add_pages() helper to avoid modifying each arch memory
hot plug function
Patch 7 add a new memory type for ZONE_DEVICE and also add all the logic
in various core mm to support this new type. Dan Williams and
any core mm contributor are best people to review each half of
this patchset
Patch 8 special case HMM ZONE_DEVICE pages inside put_page() Kirill and
Dan Williams are best person to review this
Patch 9 allow to uncharge a page from memory group without using the lru
list field of struct page (best reviewer: Johannes Weiner or
Vladimir Davydov or Michal Hocko)
Patch 10 Add support to uncharge ZONE_DEVICE page from a memory cgroup (best
reviewer: Johannes Weiner or Vladimir Davydov or Michal Hocko)
Patch 11 add helper to hotplug un-addressable device memory as new type
of ZONE_DEVICE memory (new type introducted in patch 3 of this
serie). This is boiler plate code around memory hotplug and it
also pick a free range of physical address for the device memory.
Note that the physical address do not point to anything (at least
as far as the kernel knows).
Patch 12 introduce a new hmm_device class as an helper for device driver
that want to expose multiple device memory under a common fake
device driver. This is usefull for multi-gpu configuration.
Anyone familiar with device driver infrastructure can review
this. Boiler plate code really.
Patch 13 add a new migrate mode. Any one familiar with page migration is
welcome to review.
Patch 14 introduce a new migration helper (migrate_vma()) that allow to
migrate a range of virtual address of a process using device DMA
engine to perform the copy. It is not limited to do copy from and
to device but can also do copy between any kind of source and
destination memory. Again anyone familiar with migration code
should be able to verify the logic.
Patch 15 optimize the new migrate_vma() by unmapping pages while we are
collecting them. This can be review by any mm folks.
Patch 16 add unaddressable memory migration to helper introduced in patch
7, this can be review by anyone familiar with migration code
Patch 17 add a feature that allow device to allocate non-present page on
the GPU when migrating a range of address to device memory. This
is an helper for device driver to avoid having to first allocate
system memory before migration to device memory
Patch 18 add a new kind of ZONE_DEVICE memory for cache coherent device
memory (CDM)
Patch 19 add an helper to hotplug CDM memory
