Nick Bowler reported another sparc64 breakage after the young/dirty
persistent work for page migration (per "Link:" below). That's after a
similar report [2].
It turns out page migration was overlooked, and it wasn't failing before
because page migration was not enabled in the initial report test
environment.
David proposed another way [2] to fix this from sparc64 side, but that
patch didn't land somehow. Neither did I check whether there's any other
arch that has similar issues.
Let's fix it for now as simple as moving the write bit handling to be
after dirty, like what we did before.
Note: this is based on mm-unstable, because the breakage was since 6.1 and
we're at a very late stage of 6.2 (-rc8), so I assume for this specific
case we should target this at 6.3.

The GUP family of functions have a complex, but fairly well defined, set
of invariants for their arguments. Currently these are sprinkled about,
sometimes in duplicate through many functions.
Internally we don't follow all the invariants that the external interface
has to follow, so place these checks directly at the exported interface.
This ensures the internal functions never reach a violated invariant.
Remove the duplicated invariant checks.
The end result is to make these functions fully internal:
__get_user_pages_locked()
internal_get_user_pages_fast()
__gup_longterm_locked()
And all the other functions call directly into one of these.

Pass vm_flags as a parameter to shmem_is_huge, rather than reading the
flags from the vm_area_struct in question. This allows the updated flags
from hugepage_madvise to be passed to the check, which is necessary
because madvise does not update the vm_area_struct's flags until after
hugepage_madvise returns.
This fixes an issue when shmem_enabled=madvise, where MADV_HUGEPAGE on
shmem was not able to register the mm_struct with khugepaged. Prior to
cd89fb0650, the mm_struct was registered by MADV_HUGEPAGE regardless of
the value of shmem_enabled (which was only checked when scanning vmas).

Remove the entire block of definitions for the second tail page, and add

to a different offset in struct folio because I don't see a need to
include the padding.
This lets us use list_for_each_entry_safe() in deferred_split_scan()

Kernel build regression with LLVM was reported here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/Y1GCYXGtEVZbcv%2F5@dev-arch.thelio-3990X/ with
commit f35b5d7d67 ("mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP
boundaries"). And the commit f35b5d7d67 was reverted.
It turned out the regression is related with madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)
was used by ld.lld. But with none PMD_SIZE aligned parameter len.
trace-bpfcc captured:
531607 531732 ld.lld do_madvise.part.0 start: 0x7feca9000000, len: 0x7fb000, behavior: 0x4
531607 531793 ld.lld do_madvise.part.0 start: 0x7fec86a00000, len: 0x7fb000, behavior: 0x4
If the underneath physical page is THP, the madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) can
trigger split_queue_lock contention raised significantly. perf showed
following data:
14.85% 0.00% ld.lld [kernel.kallsyms] [k]
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
11.52%
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
do_syscall_64
__x64_sys_madvise
do_madvise.part.0
zap_page_range
unmap_single_vma
unmap_page_range
page_remove_rmap
deferred_split_huge_page
__lock_text_start
native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
If THP can't be removed from rmap as whole THP, partial THP will be
removed from rmap by removing sub-pages from rmap. Even the THP head page
is added to deferred queue already, the split_queue_lock will be acquired
and check whether the THP head page is in the queue already. Thus, the
contention of split_queue_lock is raised.
Before acquire split_queue_lock, check and bail out early if the THP
head page is in the queue already. The checking without holding
split_queue_lock could race with deferred_split_scan, but it doesn't
impact the correctness here.
Test result of building kernel with ld.lld:
commit 7b5a0b664e (parent commit of f35b5d7d67):

This patch is a cleanup to always wr-protect pte/pmd in mkuffd_wp paths.
The reasons I still think this patch is worthwhile, are:
(1) It is a cleanup already; diffstat tells.
(2) It just feels natural after I thought about this, if the pte is uffd
protected, let's remove the write bit no matter what it was.
(2) Since x86 is the only arch that supports uffd-wp, it also redefines
pte|pmd_mkuffd_wp() in that it should always contain removals of
write bits. It means any future arch that want to implement uffd-wp
should naturally follow this rule too. It's good to make it a
default, even if with vm_page_prot changes on VM_UFFD_WP.
(3) It covers more than vm_page_prot. So no chance of any potential
future "accident" (like pte_mkdirty() sparc64 or loongarch, even
though it just got its pte_mkdirty fixed <1 month ago). It'll be
fairly clear when reading the code too that we don't worry anything
before a pte_mkuffd_wp() on uncertainty of the write bit.
We may call pte_wrprotect() one more time in some paths (e.g. thp split),
but that should be fully local bitop instruction so the overhead should be
negligible.
Although this patch should logically also fix all the known issues on
uffd-wp too recently on page migration (not for numa hint recovery - that
may need another explcit pte_wrprotect), but this is not the plan for that
fix. So no fixes, and stable doesn't need this.

* Enable the per-vcpu dirty-ring tracking mechanism, together with an
option to keep the good old dirty log around for pages that are
dirtied by something other than a vcpu.
* Switch to the relaxed parallel fault handling, using RCU to delay
page table reclaim and giving better performance under load.
* Relax the MTE ABI, allowing a VMM to use the MAP_SHARED mapping option,
which multi-process VMMs such as crosvm rely on (see merge commit 382b5b87a97d:
"Fix a number of issues with MTE, such as races on the tags being
initialised vs the PG_mte_tagged flag as well as the lack of support
for VM_SHARED when KVM is involved. Patches from Catalin Marinas and
Peter Collingbourne").
* Merge the pKVM shadow vcpu state tracking that allows the hypervisor
to have its own view of a vcpu, keeping that state private.
* Add support for the PMUv3p5 architecture revision, bringing support
for 64bit counters on systems that support it, and fix the
no-quite-compliant CHAIN-ed counter support for the machines that
actually exist out there.
* Fix a handful of minor issues around 52bit VA/PA support (64kB pages
only) as a prefix of the oncoming support for 4kB and 16kB pages.
* Pick a small set of documentation and spelling fixes, because no
good merge window would be complete without those.
s390:
* Second batch of the lazy destroy patches
* First batch of KVM changes for kernel virtual != physical address support
* Removal of a unused function
x86:
* Allow compiling out SMM support
* Cleanup and documentation of SMM state save area format
* Preserve interrupt shadow in SMM state save area
* Respond to generic signals during slow page faults
* Fixes and optimizations for the non-executable huge page errata fix.
* Reprogram all performance counters on PMU filter change
* Cleanups to Hyper-V emulation and tests
* Process Hyper-V TLB flushes from a nested guest (i.e. from a L2 guest
running on top of a L1 Hyper-V hypervisor)
* Advertise several new Intel features
* x86 Xen-for-KVM:
** Allow the Xen runstate information to cross a page boundary
** Allow XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE flag behaviour to be configured
** Add support for 32-bit guests in SCHEDOP_poll
* Notable x86 fixes and cleanups:
** One-off fixes for various emulation flows (SGX, VMXON, NRIPS=0).
** Reinstate IBPB on emulated VM-Exit that was incorrectly dropped a few
years back when eliminating unnecessary barriers when switching between
vmcs01 and vmcs02.
** Clean up vmread_error_trampoline() to make it more obvious that params
must be passed on the stack, even for x86-64.
** Let userspace set all supported bits in MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL irrespective
of the current guest CPUID.
** Fudge around a race with TSC refinement that results in KVM incorrectly
thinking a guest needs TSC scaling when running on a CPU with a
constant TSC, but no hardware-enumerated TSC frequency.
** Advertise (on AMD) that the SMM_CTL MSR is not supported
** Remove unnecessary exports
Generic:
* Support for responding to signals during page faults; introduces
new FOLL_INTERRUPTIBLE flag that was reviewed by mm folks
Selftests:
* Fix an inverted check in the access tracking perf test, and restore
support for asserting that there aren't too many idle pages when
running on bare metal.
* Fix build errors that occur in certain setups (unsure exactly what is
unique about the problematic setup) due to glibc overriding
static_assert() to a variant that requires a custom message.
* Introduce actual atomics for clear/set_bit() in selftests
* Add support for pinning vCPUs in dirty_log_perf_test.

Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM64:
- Enable the per-vcpu dirty-ring tracking mechanism, together with an
option to keep the good old dirty log around for pages that are
dirtied by something other than a vcpu.
- Switch to the relaxed parallel fault handling, using RCU to delay
page table reclaim and giving better performance under load.
- Relax the MTE ABI, allowing a VMM to use the MAP_SHARED mapping
option, which multi-process VMMs such as crosvm rely on (see merge
commit 382b5b87a97d: "Fix a number of issues with MTE, such as
races on the tags being initialised vs the PG_mte_tagged flag as
well as the lack of support for VM_SHARED when KVM is involved.
Patches from Catalin Marinas and Peter Collingbourne").
- Merge the pKVM shadow vcpu state tracking that allows the
hypervisor to have its own view of a vcpu, keeping that state
private.
- Add support for the PMUv3p5 architecture revision, bringing support
for 64bit counters on systems that support it, and fix the
no-quite-compliant CHAIN-ed counter support for the machines that
actually exist out there.
- Fix a handful of minor issues around 52bit VA/PA support (64kB
pages only) as a prefix of the oncoming support for 4kB and 16kB
pages.
- Pick a small set of documentation and spelling fixes, because no
good merge window would be complete without those.
s390:
- Second batch of the lazy destroy patches
- First batch of KVM changes for kernel virtual != physical address
support
- Removal of a unused function
x86:
- Allow compiling out SMM support
- Cleanup and documentation of SMM state save area format
- Preserve interrupt shadow in SMM state save area
- Respond to generic signals during slow page faults
- Fixes and optimizations for the non-executable huge page errata
fix.
- Reprogram all performance counters on PMU filter change
- Cleanups to Hyper-V emulation and tests
- Process Hyper-V TLB flushes from a nested guest (i.e. from a L2
guest running on top of a L1 Hyper-V hypervisor)
- Advertise several new Intel features
- x86 Xen-for-KVM:
- Allow the Xen runstate information to cross a page boundary
- Allow XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE flag behaviour to be configured
- Add support for 32-bit guests in SCHEDOP_poll
- Notable x86 fixes and cleanups:
- One-off fixes for various emulation flows (SGX, VMXON, NRIPS=0).
- Reinstate IBPB on emulated VM-Exit that was incorrectly dropped
a few years back when eliminating unnecessary barriers when
switching between vmcs01 and vmcs02.
- Clean up vmread_error_trampoline() to make it more obvious that
params must be passed on the stack, even for x86-64.
- Let userspace set all supported bits in MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL
irrespective of the current guest CPUID.
- Fudge around a race with TSC refinement that results in KVM
incorrectly thinking a guest needs TSC scaling when running on a
CPU with a constant TSC, but no hardware-enumerated TSC
frequency.
- Advertise (on AMD) that the SMM_CTL MSR is not supported
- Remove unnecessary exports
Generic:
- Support for responding to signals during page faults; introduces
new FOLL_INTERRUPTIBLE flag that was reviewed by mm folks
Selftests:
- Fix an inverted check in the access tracking perf test, and restore
support for asserting that there aren't too many idle pages when
running on bare metal.
- Fix build errors that occur in certain setups (unsure exactly what
is unique about the problematic setup) due to glibc overriding
static_assert() to a variant that requires a custom message.
- Introduce actual atomics for clear/set_bit() in selftests
- Add support for pinning vCPUs in dirty_log_perf_test.
- Rename the so called "perf_util" framework to "memstress".
- Add a lightweight psuedo RNG for guest use, and use it to randomize
the access pattern and write vs. read percentage in the memstress
tests.
- Add a common ucall implementation; code dedup and pre-work for
running SEV (and beyond) guests in selftests.
- Provide a common constructor and arch hook, which will eventually

We used to have 624a2c94f5 (Partly revert "mm/thp: carry over dirty bit
when thp splits on pmd") fixing the regression reported here by Anatoly
Pugachev on sparc64:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221021160603.GA23307@u164.east.ru
Where we temporarily ignored the dirty bit for small pages.
Then, Hev also reported similar issue on loongarch:
(the original mail was private, but Anatoly copied the list here)
https://lore.kernel.org/r/CADxRZqxqb7f_WhMh=jweZP+ynf_JwGd-0VwbYgp4P+T0-AXosw@mail.gmail.com
Hev pointed out that the issue is having HW write bit set within the
pte_mkdirty() so the split pte can be written after split even if e.g.
they were shared by more than one processes, causing data corrupt.
Hev also tried to explain why loongarch set HW write bit in mkdirty:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAHirt9itKO_K_HPboXh5AyJtt16Zf0cD73PtHvM=na39u_ztxA@mail.gmail.com
One way to fix it is as what Huacai proposed here for loongarch (then we
can re-apply the dirty bit in thp split):
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221117042532.4064448-1-chenhuacai@loongson.cnn
We may need similar thing for sparc64, though.
For now since we've found the root cause of the dirty bit issue the
simpler solution (which won't lose the dirty bit for small) that will work
for both is we wr-protect after pte_mkdirty(), so the HW write bit can be
persistent after thp split.
Add a comment for wrprotect, so we will not mess up the ordering later.
With 624a2c94f5 (Partly revert "mm/thp: carry over dirty bit when thp
splits on pmd") this is not a fix anymore, but just brings back the dirty
bit for thp split safely, so we re-apply the optimization but in safe way.
Provide a Tested-by credit to Hev too (not the exact same patch but the
same outcome) for loongarch.

We already support reliable R/O pinning of anonymous memory. However,
assume we end up pinning (R/O long-term) a pagecache page or the shared
zeropage inside a writable private ("COW") mapping. The next write access
will trigger a write-fault and replace the pinned page by an exclusive
anonymous page in the process page tables to break COW: the pinned page no
longer corresponds to the page mapped into the process' page table.
Now that FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE can break COW on anything mapped into a
COW mapping, let's properly break COW first before R/O long-term
pinning something that's not an exclusive anon page inside a COW
mapping. FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE will break COW and map an exclusive anon page
instead that can get pinned safely.
With this change, we can stop using FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE for reliable
R/O long-term pinning in COW mappings.
With this change, the new R/O long-term pinning tests for non-anonymous
memory succeed:
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with shared zeropage
ok 151 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with memfd
ok 152 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with tmpfile
ok 153 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with huge zeropage
ok 154 Longterm R/O pin is reliable

ok 155 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP pin ... with memfd hugetlb (1048576 kB)
ok 156 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with shared zeropage
ok 157 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with memfd
ok 158 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with tmpfile

# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with huge zeropage
ok 160 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with memfd hugetlb (2048 kB)
ok 161 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin ... with memfd hugetlb (1048576 kB)
ok 162 Longterm R/O pin is reliable
Note 1: We don't care about short-term R/O-pinning, because they have
snapshot semantics: they are not supposed to observe modifications that
happen after pinning.
As one example, assume we start direct I/O to read from a page and store
page content into a file: modifications to page content after starting
direct I/O are not guaranteed to end up in the file. So even if we'd pin
the shared zeropage, the end result would be as expected -- getting zeroes
stored to the file.
Note 2: For shared mappings we'll now always fallback to the slow path to
lookup the VMA when R/O long-term pining. While that's the necessary price
we have to pay right now, it's actually not that bad in practice: most
FOLL_LONGTERM users already specify FOLL_WRITE, for example, along with
FOLL_FORCE because they tried dealing with COW mappings correctly ...
Note 3: For users that use FOLL_LONGTERM right now without FOLL_WRITE,
such as VFIO, we'd now no longer pin the shared zeropage. Instead, we'd
populate exclusive anon pages that we can pin. There was a concern that
this could affect the memlock limit of existing setups.
For example, a VM running with VFIO could run into the memlock limit and
fail to run. However, we essentially had the same behavior already in
commit 17839856fd ("gup: document and work around "COW can break either
way" issue") which got merged into some enterprise distros, and there were
not any such complaints. So most probably, we're fine.

For now, FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE only applies to anonymous pages, which
implies a COW mapping. Let's hide FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE early if we're not
dealing with a COW mapping, such that we treat it like a read fault as
documented and don't have to worry about the flag throughout all fault
handlers.
While at it, centralize the check for mutual exclusion of
FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE and FAULT_FLAG_WRITE and just drop the check that
either flag is set in the WP handler.

commit b191f9b106 ("mm: numa: preserve PTE write permissions across a
NUMA hinting fault") added remembering write permissions using ordinary
pte_write() for PROT_NONE mapped pages to avoid write faults when
remapping the page !PROT_NONE on NUMA hinting faults.
That commit noted:
The patch looks hacky but the alternatives looked worse. The tidest was
to rewalk the page tables after a hinting fault but it was more complex
than this approach and the performance was worse. It's not generally
safe to just mark the page writable during the fault if it's a write
fault as it may have been read-only for COW so that approach was
discarded.
Later, commit 288bc54949 ("mm/autonuma: let architecture override how
the write bit should be stashed in a protnone pte.") introduced a family
of savedwrite PTE functions that didn't necessarily improve the whole
situation.
One confusing thing is that nowadays, if a page is pte_protnone()
and pte_savedwrite() then also pte_write() is true. Another source of
confusion is that there is only a single pte_mk_savedwrite() call in the
kernel. All other write-protection code seems to silently rely on
pte_wrprotect().
Ever since PageAnonExclusive was introduced and we started using it in
mprotect context via commit 64fe24a3e0 ("mm/mprotect: try avoiding write
faults for exclusive anonymous pages when changing protection"), we do
have machinery in place to avoid write faults when changing protection,
which is exactly what we want to do here.
Let's similarly do what ordinary mprotect() does nowadays when upgrading
write permissions and reuse can_change_pte_writable() and
can_change_pmd_writable() to detect if we can upgrade PTE permissions to be
writable.
For anonymous pages there should be absolutely no change: if an
anonymous page is not exclusive, it could not have been mapped writable --
because only exclusive anonymous pages can be mapped writable.
However, there *might* be a change for writable shared mappings that
require writenotify: if they are not dirty, we cannot map them writable.
While it might not matter in practice, we'd need a different way to
identify whether writenotify is actually required -- and ordinary mprotect
would benefit from that as well.
Note that we don't optimize for the actual migration case:
(1) When migration succeeds the new PTE will not be writable because the
source PTE was not writable (protnone); in the future we
might just optimize that case similarly by reusing
can_change_pte_writable()/can_change_pmd_writable() when removing
migration PTEs.
(2) When migration fails, we'd have to recalculate the "writable" flag
because we temporarily dropped the PT lock; for now keep it simple and
set "writable=false".
We'll remove all savedwrite leftovers next.

It's hard to add a page_add_anon_rmap() into __split_huge_pmd_locked()'s
HPAGE_PMD_NR set_pte_at() loop, without wincing at the "freeze" case's
HPAGE_PMD_NR page_remove_rmap() loop below it.
It's just a mistake to add rmaps in the "freeze" (insert migration entries
prior to splitting huge page) case: the pmd_migration case already avoids
doing that, so just follow its lead. page_add_ref() versus put_page()
likewise. But why is one more put_page() needed in the "freeze" case?
Because it's removing the pmd rmap, already removed when pmd_migration
(and freeze and pmd_migration are mutually exclusive cases).

Patch series "mm,thp,rmap: rework the use of subpages_mapcount", v2.
This patch (of 3):
Following suggestion from Linus, instead of counting every PTE map of a
compound page in subpages_mapcount, just count how many of its subpages
are PTE-mapped: this yields the exact number needed for NR_ANON_MAPPED and
NR_FILE_MAPPED stats, without any need for a locked scan of subpages; and
requires updating the count less often.
This does then revert total_mapcount() and folio_mapcount() to needing a
scan of subpages; but they are inherently racy, and need no locking, so
Linus is right that the scans are much better done there. Plus (unlike in
6.1 and previous) subpages_mapcount lets us avoid the scan in the common
case of no PTE maps. And page_mapped() and folio_mapped() remain scanless
and just as efficient with the new meaning of subpages_mapcount: those are
the functions which I most wanted to remove the scan from.
The updated page_dup_compound_rmap() is no longer suitable for use by anon
THP's __split_huge_pmd_locked(); but page_add_anon_rmap() can be used for
that, so long as its VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageLocked) is deleted.
Evidence is that this way goes slightly faster than the previous
implementation for most cases; but significantly faster in the (now
scanless) pmds after ptes case, which started out at 870ms and was brought
down to 495ms by the previous series, now takes around 105ms.

Fix the races in maintaining compound_mapcount, subpages_mapcount and
subpage _mapcount by using PG_locked in the first tail of any compound
page for a bit_spin_lock() on such modifications; skipping the usual
atomic operations on those fields in this case.
Bring page_remove_file_rmap() and page_remove_anon_compound_rmap() back
into page_remove_rmap() itself. Rearrange page_add_anon_rmap() and
page_add_file_rmap() and page_remove_rmap() to follow the same "if
(compound) {lock} else if (PageCompound) {lock} else {atomic}" pattern
(with a PageTransHuge in the compound test, like before, to avoid BUG_ONs
and optimize away that block when THP is not configured). Move all the
stats updates outside, after the bit_spin_locked section, so that it is
sure to be a leaf lock.
Add page_dup_compound_rmap() to manage compound locking versus atomics in
sync with the rest. In particular, hugetlb pages are still using the
atomics: to avoid unnecessary interference there, and because they never
have subpage mappings; but this exception can easily be changed.
Conveniently, page_dup_compound_rmap() turns out to suit an anon THP's
__split_huge_pmd_locked() too.
bit_spin_lock() is not popular with PREEMPT_RT folks: but PREEMPT_RT
sensibly excludes TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE already, so its only exposure is to
the non-hugetlb non-THP pte-mapped compound pages (with large folios being
currently dependent on TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE). There is never any scan of
subpages in this case; but we have chosen to use PageCompound tests rather
than PageTransCompound tests to gate the use of lock_compound_mapcounts(),
so that page_mapped() is correct on all compound pages, whether or not
TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is enabled: could that be a problem for PREEMPT_RT,
when there is contention on the lock - under heavy concurrent forking for
example? If so, then it can be turned into a sleeping lock (like
folio_lock()) when PREEMPT_RT.
A simple 100 X munmap(mmap(2GB, MAP_SHARED|MAP_POPULATE, tmpfs), 2GB) took
18 seconds on small pages, and used to take 1 second on huge pages, but
now takes 115 milliseconds on huge pages. Mapping by pmds a second time
used to take 860ms and now takes 86ms; mapping by pmds after mapping by
ptes (when the scan is needed) used to take 870ms and now takes 495ms.
Mapping huge pages by ptes is largely unaffected but variable: between 5%
faster and 5% slower in what I've recorded. Contention on the lock is
likely to behave worse than contention on the atomics behaved.

Compound page (folio) mapcount calculations have been different for anon
and file (or shmem) THPs, and involved the obscure PageDoubleMap flag.
And each huge mapping and unmapping of a file (or shmem) THP involved
atomically incrementing and decrementing the mapcount of every subpage of
that huge page, dirtying many struct page cachelines.
Add subpages_mapcount field to the struct folio and first tail page, so
that the total of subpage mapcounts is available in one place near the
head: then page_mapcount() and total_mapcount() and page_mapped(), and
their folio equivalents, are so quick that anon and file and hugetlb don't
need to be optimized differently. Delete the unloved PageDoubleMap.
page_add and page_remove rmap functions must now maintain the
subpages_mapcount as well as the subpage _mapcount, when dealing with pte
mappings of huge pages; and correct maintenance of NR_ANON_MAPPED and
NR_FILE_MAPPED statistics still needs reading through the subpages, using
nr_subpages_unmapped() - but only when first or last pmd mapping finds
subpages_mapcount raised (double-map case, not the common case).
But are those counts (used to decide when to split an anon THP, and in
vmscan's pagecache_reclaimable heuristic) correctly maintained? Not
quite: since page_remove_rmap() (and also split_huge_pmd()) is often
called without page lock, there can be races when a subpage pte mapcount
0<->1 while compound pmd mapcount 0<->1 is scanning - races which the
previous implementation had prevented. The statistics might become
inaccurate, and even drift down until they underflow through 0. That is
not good enough, but is better dealt with in a followup patch.
Update a few comments on first and second tail page overlaid fields.
hugepage_add_new_anon_rmap() has to "increment" compound_mapcount, but
subpages_mapcount and compound_pincount are already correctly at 0, so
delete its reinitialization of compound_pincount.
A simple 100 X munmap(mmap(2GB, MAP_SHARED|MAP_POPULATE, tmpfs), 2GB) took
18 seconds on small pages, and used to take 1 second on huge pages, but
now takes 119 milliseconds on huge pages. Mapping by pmds a second time
used to take 860ms and now takes 92ms; mapping by pmds after mapping by
ptes (when the scan is needed) used to take 870ms and now takes 495ms.
But there might be some benchmarks which would show a slowdown, because
tail struct pages now fall out of cache until final freeing checks them.

Commit 4beba9486a ("mm: Add PG_arch_2 page flag") introduced a new

is 64-bit, it may still have limited spare bits in the 'flags' member of
'struct page'. This may happen if an architecture enables SPARSEMEM
without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP as is the case with the newly added loongarch.
This architecture port needs 19 more bits for the sparsemem section
information and, while it is currently fine with PG_arch_2, adding any
more PG_arch_* flags will trigger build-time warnings.
Add a new CONFIG_ARCH_USES_PG_ARCH_X option which can be selected by
architectures that need more PG_arch_* flags beyond PG_arch_1. Select it

When creating a virtual machine, we will use memfd_create() to get a file
descriptor which can be used to create share memory mappings using the
mmap function, meanwhile the mmap() will set the MAP_POPULATE flag to
allocate physical pages for the virtual machine.
When allocating physical pages for the guest, the host can fallback to
allocate some CMA pages for the guest when over half of the zone's free
memory is in the CMA area.
In guest os, when the application wants to do some data transaction with
DMA, our QEMU will call VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA ioctl to do longterm-pin and
create IOMMU mappings for the DMA pages. However, when calling
VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA ioctl to pin the physical pages, we found it will be
failed to longterm-pin sometimes.
After some invetigation, we found the pages used to do DMA mapping can
contain some CMA pages, and these CMA pages will cause a possible failure
of the longterm-pin, due to failed to migrate the CMA pages. The reason
of migration failure may be temporary reference count or memory allocation
failure. So that will cause the VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA ioctl returns error,
which makes the application failed to start.
I observed one migration failure case (which is not easy to reproduce) is
that, the 'thp_migration_fail' count is 1 and the 'thp_split_page_failed'
count is also 1.
That means when migrating a THP which is in CMA area, but can not allocate
a new THP due to memory fragmentation, so it will split the THP. However
THP split is also failed, probably the reason is temporary reference count
of this THP. And the temporary reference count can be caused by dropping
page caches (I observed the drop caches operation in the system), but we
can not drop the shmem page caches due to they are already dirty at that
time.
Especially for THP split failure, which is caused by temporary reference
count, we can try again to mitigate the failure of migration in this case
according to previous discussion [1].

Before having a clue of why the sparc64 is special and caused the patch to

Although page allocation always clears page->private in the first page or
head page of an allocation, it has never made a point of clearing
page->private in the tails (though 0 is often what is already there).
But now commit 71e2d666ef ("mm/huge_memory: do not clobber swp_entry_t
during THP split") issues a warning when page_tail->private is found to be
non-0 (unless it's swapcache).
Change that warning to dump page_tail (which also dumps head), instead of
just the head: so far we have seen dead000000000122, dead000000000003,
dead000000000001 or 0000000000000002 in the raw output for tail private.
We could just delete the warning, but today's consensus appears to want
page->private to be 0, unless there's a good reason for it to be set: so
now clear it in prep_compound_tail() (more general than just for THP; but
not for high order allocation, which makes no pass down the tails).

The problem can be reproduced with the mmtests config
config-workload-stressng-mmap. It does not always happen and when it
triggers is variable but it has happened on multiple machines.
The intent of commit b653db7735 patch was to avoid the case where
PG_private is clear but folio->private is not-NULL. However, THP tail
pages uses page->private for "swp_entry_t if folio_test_swapcache()" as
stated in the documentation for struct folio. This patch only clobbers
page->private for tail pages if the head page was not in swapcache and
warns once if page->private had an unexpected value.

Patch series "mm: add file/shmem support to MADV_COLLAPSE", v4.
This series builds on top of the previous "mm: userspace hugepage
collapse" series which introduced the MADV_COLLAPSE madvise mode and added
support for private, anonymous mappings[2], by adding support for file and
shmem backed memory to CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS=y kernels.
File and shmem support have been added with effort to align with existing
MADV_COLLAPSE semantics and policy decisions[3]. Collapse of shmem-backed
memory ignores kernel-guiding directives and heuristics including all
sysfs settings (transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled), and tmpfs huge= mount
options (shmem always supports large folios). Like anonymous mappings, on
successful return of MADV_COLLAPSE on file/shmem memory, the contents of
memory mapped by the addresses provided will be synchronously pmd-mapped
THPs.
This functionality unlocks two important uses:
(1) Immediately back executable text by THPs. Current support provided
by CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS may take a long time on a large
system which might impair services from serving at their full rated
load after (re)starting. Tricks like mremap(2)'ing text onto
anonymous memory to immediately realize iTLB performance prevents
page sharing and demand paging, both of which increase steady state
memory footprint. Now, we can have the best of both worlds: Peak
upfront performance and lower RAM footprints.
(2) userfaultfd-based live migration of virtual machines satisfy UFFD
faults by fetching native-sized pages over the network (to avoid
latency of transferring an entire hugepage). However, after guest
memory has been fully copied to the new host, MADV_COLLAPSE can
be used to immediately increase guest performance.
khugepaged has received a small improvement by association and can now
detect and collapse pte-mapped THPs. However, there is still work to be
done along the file collapse path. Compound pages of arbitrary order
still needs to be supported and THP collapse needs to be converted to
using folios in general. Eventually, we'd like to move away from the
read-only and executable-mapped constraints currently imposed on eligible
files and support any inode claiming huge folio support. That said, I
think the series as-is covers enough to claim that MADV_COLLAPSE supports
file/shmem memory.
Patches 1-3 Implement the guts of the series.
Patch 4 Is a tracepoint for debugging.
Patches 5-9 Refactor existing khugepaged selftests to work with new
memory types + new collapse tests.
Patch 10 Adds a userfaultfd selftest mode to mimic a functional test
of UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MINOR+MADV_COLLAPSE live migration.
(v4 note: "userfaultfd shmem" selftest is failing as of
Sep 22 mm-unstable)

This patch (of 10):
Extend 'mm/thp: add flag to enforce sysfs THP in hugepage_vma_check()' to
shmem, allowing callers to ignore
/sys/kernel/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled and tmpfs huge= mount.
This is intended to be used by MADV_COLLAPSE, and the rationale is
analogous to the anon/file case: MADV_COLLAPSE is not coupled to
directives that advise the kernel's decisions on when THPs should be
considered eligible. shmem/tmpfs always claims large folio support,
regardless of sysfs or mount options.

A user who reads THP_ZERO_PAGE_ALLOC may be more concerned about the huge
zero pages that are really allocated for thp. It is misleading to
increase THP_ZERO_PAGE_ALLOC twice if two threads call get_huge_zero_page
concurrently. Don't increase the value if the huge page is not really
used.
Update Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst to suit.

Patch series "mm: minor cleanups around NUMA hinting".
Working on some GUP cleanups (e.g., getting rid of some FOLL_ flags) and
preparing for other GUP changes (getting rid of FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE for
for taking a R/O longterm pin), this is something I can easily send out
independently.
Get rid of FOLL_NUMA, allow FOLL_FORCE access to PROT_NONE mapped pages in
GUP-fast, and fixup some documentation around NUMA hinting.
This patch (of 3):
No need for a special flag that is not even properly documented to be
internal-only.
Let's just factor this check out and get rid of this flag. The separate
function has the nice benefit that we can centralize comments.

The handling Non-LRU pages returned by follow_page() jumps directly, it
doesn't call put_page() to handle the reference count, since 'FOLL_GET'
flag for follow_page() has get_page() called. Fix the zone device page
check by handling the page reference count correctly before returning.
And as David reviewed, "device pages are never PageKsm pages". Drop this
zone device page check for break_ksm().
Since the zone device page can't be a transparent huge page, so drop the
redundant zone device page check for split_huge_pages_pid(). (by Miaohe)

Evictable pages are divided into multiple generations for each lruvec.
The youngest generation number is stored in lrugen->max_seq for both
anon and file types as they are aged on an equal footing. The oldest
generation numbers are stored in lrugen->min_seq[] separately for anon
and file types as clean file pages can be evicted regardless of swap
constraints. These three variables are monotonically increasing.
Generation numbers are truncated into order_base_2(MAX_NR_GENS+1) bits
in order to fit into the gen counter in folio->flags. Each truncated
generation number is an index to lrugen->lists[]. The sliding window
technique is used to track at least MIN_NR_GENS and at most
MAX_NR_GENS generations. The gen counter stores a value within [1,
MAX_NR_GENS] while a page is on one of lrugen->lists[]. Otherwise it
stores 0.
There are two conceptually independent procedures: "the aging", which
produces young generations, and "the eviction", which consumes old
generations. They form a closed-loop system, i.e., "the page reclaim".
Both procedures can be invoked from userspace for the purposes of working
set estimation and proactive reclaim. These techniques are commonly used
to optimize job scheduling (bin packing) in data centers [1][2].
To avoid confusion, the terms "hot" and "cold" will be applied to the
multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms "active" and "inactive" will
be applied to the active/inactive LRU, as usual.
The protection of hot pages and the selection of cold pages are based
on page access channels and patterns. There are two access channels:
one through page tables and the other through file descriptors. The
protection of the former channel is by design stronger because:
1. The uncertainty in determining the access patterns of the former
channel is higher due to the approximation of the accessed bit.
2. The cost of evicting the former channel is higher due to the TLB
flushes required and the likelihood of encountering the dirty bit.
3. The penalty of underprotecting the former channel is higher because
applications usually do not prepare themselves for major page
faults like they do for blocked I/O. E.g., GUI applications
commonly use dedicated I/O threads to avoid blocking rendering
threads.
There are also two access patterns: one with temporal locality and the
other without. For the reasons listed above, the former channel is
assumed to follow the former pattern unless VM_SEQ_READ or VM_RAND_READ is
present; the latter channel is assumed to follow the latter pattern unless
outlying refaults have been observed [3][4].
The next patch will address the "outlying refaults". Three macros, i.e.,
LRU_REFS_WIDTH, LRU_REFS_PGOFF and LRU_REFS_MASK, used later are added in
this patch to make the entire patchset less diffy.
A page is added to the youngest generation on faulting. The aging needs
to check the accessed bit at least twice before handing this page over to
the eviction. The first check takes care of the accessed bit set on the
initial fault; the second check makes sure this page has not been used
since then. This protocol, AKA second chance, requires a minimum of two
generations, hence MIN_NR_GENS.
