During THP migration, if THPs are not migrated but they are split and all
subpages are migrated successfully, migrate_pages() will still return the
number of THP pages that were not migrated. This will confuse the callers
of migrate_pages(). For example, the longterm pinning will failed though
all pages are migrated successfully.
Thus we should return 0 to indicate that all pages are migrated in this
case

Patch series "Fix several device private page reference counting issues",
v2
This series aims to fix a number of page reference counting issues in
drivers dealing with device private ZONE_DEVICE pages. These result in
use-after-free type bugs, either from accessing a struct page which no
longer exists because it has been removed or accessing fields within the
struct page which are no longer valid because the page has been freed.
During normal usage it is unlikely these will cause any problems. However
without these fixes it is possible to crash the kernel from userspace.
These crashes can be triggered either by unloading the kernel module or
unbinding the device from the driver prior to a userspace task exiting.
In modules such as Nouveau it is also possible to trigger some of these
issues by explicitly closing the device file-descriptor prior to the task
exiting and then accessing device private memory.
This involves some minor changes to both PowerPC and AMD GPU code.
Unfortunately I lack hardware to test either of those so any help there
would be appreciated. The changes mimic what is done in for both Nouveau
and hmm-tests though so I doubt they will cause problems.
This patch (of 8):
When the CPU tries to access a device private page the migrate_to_ram()
callback associated with the pgmap for the page is called. However no
reference is taken on the faulting page. Therefore a concurrent migration
of the device private page can free the page and possibly the underlying
pgmap. This results in a race which can crash the kernel due to the
migrate_to_ram() function pointer becoming invalid. It also means drivers
can't reliably read the zone_device_data field because the page may have
been freed with memunmap_pages().
Close the race by getting a reference on the page while holding the ptl to
ensure it has not been freed. Unfortunately the elevated reference count
will cause the migration required to handle the fault to fail. To avoid
this failure pass the faulting page into the migrate_vma functions so that
if an elevated reference count is found it can be checked to see if it's
expected or not.

like dax kmem.
This patch builds the demotion target for a NUMA node by looking at all
memory tiers below the tier to which the NUMA node belongs. The closest
node in the immediately following memory tier is used as a demotion
target.
Since we are now only building demotion target for N_MEMORY NUMA nodes the
CPU hotplug calls are removed in this patch.

If THP is failed to migrate due to -ENOSYS or -ENOMEM case, the THP will
be split, and the subpages of fail-to-migrate THP will be tried to migrate
again, so we should not account the retry counter in the second loop,
since we already accounted 'nr_thp_failed' in the first loop.
Moreover we also do not need retry 10 times for -EAGAIN case for the
subpages of fail-to-migrate THP in the second loop, since we already
regarded the THP as migration failure, and save some migration time (for
the worst case, will try 512 * 10 times) according to previous discussion

When page migration happens, we always ignore the young/dirty bit settings
in the old pgtable, and marking the page as old in the new page table
using either pte_mkold() or pmd_mkold(), and keeping the pte clean.
That's fine from functional-wise, but that's not friendly to page reclaim
because the moving page can be actively accessed within the procedure.
Not to mention hardware setting the young bit can bring quite some
overhead on some systems, e.g. x86_64 needs a few hundreds nanoseconds to
set the bit. The same slowdown problem to dirty bits when the memory is
first written after page migration happened.
Actually we can easily remember the A/D bit configuration and recover the
information after the page is migrated. To achieve it, define a new set
of bits in the migration swap offset field to cache the A/D bits for old
pte. Then when removing/recovering the migration entry, we can recover
the A/D bits even if the page changed.
One thing to mention is that here we used max_swapfile_size() to detect
how many swp offset bits we have, and we'll only enable this feature if we
know the swp offset is big enough to store both the PFN value and the A/D
bits. Otherwise the A/D bits are dropped like before.

Patch series "memory tiering: hot page selection", v4.
To optimize page placement in a memory tiering system with NUMA balancing,
the hot pages in the slow memory nodes need to be identified.
Essentially, the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly
recently accessed (MRU) pages to promote. But this isn't a perfect
algorithm to identify the hot pages. Because the pages with quite low
access frequency may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page
table scanning period could be quite long (e.g. 60 seconds). So in this
patchset, we implement a new hot page identification algorithm based on
the latency between NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page
fault. Which is a kind of mostly frequently accessed (MFU) algorithm.
In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow
memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote
hot/cold pages between the fast and cold memory nodes.
A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and
memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will
hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow
memory bandwidth contention.
A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting
throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But
the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patchset
as the page promotion rate limit mechanism.
The promotion hot threshold is workload and system configuration
dependent. So in this patchset, a method to adjust the hot threshold
automatically is implemented. The basic idea is to control the number of
the candidate promotion pages to match the promotion rate limit.
We used the pmbench memory accessing benchmark tested the patchset on a
2-socket server system with DRAM and PMEM installed. The test results are
as follows,
pmbench score promote rate
(accesses/s) MB/s
------------- ------------
base 146887704.1 725.6
hot selection 165695601.2 544.0
rate limit 162814569.8 165.2
auto adjustment 170495294.0 136.9
From the results above,
With hot page selection patch [1/3], the pmbench score increases about
12.8%, and promote rate (overhead) decreases about 25.0%, compared with
base kernel.
With rate limit patch [2/3], pmbench score decreases about 1.7%, and
promote rate decreases about 69.6%, compared with hot page selection
patch.
With threshold auto adjustment patch [3/3], pmbench score increases about
4.7%, and promote rate decrease about 17.1%, compared with rate limit
patch.
Baolin helped to test the patchset with MySQL on a machine which contains
1 DRAM node (30G) and 1 PMEM node (126G).
sysbench /usr/share/sysbench/oltp_read_write.lua \
......
--tables=200 \
--table-size=1000000 \
--report-interval=10 \
--threads=16 \
--time=120
The tps can be improved about 5%.
This patch (of 3):
To optimize page placement in a memory tiering system with NUMA balancing,
the hot pages in the slow memory node need to be identified. Essentially,
the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly recently
accessed (MRU) pages to promote. But this isn't a perfect algorithm to
identify the hot pages. Because the pages with quite low access frequency
may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page table scanning
period could be quite long (e.g. 60 seconds). The most frequently
accessed (MFU) algorithm is better.
So, in this patch we implemented a better hot page selection algorithm.
Which is based on NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page fault
as follows,
- When the page tables of the processes are scanned to change PTE/PMD
to be PROT_NONE, the current time is recorded in struct page as scan
time.
- When the page is accessed, hint page fault will occur. The scan
time is gotten from the struct page. And The hint page fault
latency is defined as
hint page fault time - scan time
The shorter the hint page fault latency of a page is, the higher the
probability of their access frequency to be higher. So the hint page
fault latency is a better estimation of the page hot/cold.
It's hard to find some extra space in struct page to hold the scan time.
Fortunately, we can reuse some bits used by the original NUMA balancing.
NUMA balancing uses some bits in struct page to store the page accessing
CPU and PID (referring to page_cpupid_xchg_last()). Which is used by the
multi-stage node selection algorithm to avoid to migrate pages shared
accessed by the NUMA nodes back and forth. But for pages in the slow
memory node, even if they are shared accessed by multiple NUMA nodes, as
long as the pages are hot, they need to be promoted to the fast memory
node. So the accessing CPU and PID information are unnecessary for the
slow memory pages. We can reuse these bits in struct page to record the
scan time. For the fast memory pages, these bits are used as before.
For the hot threshold, the default value is 1 second, which works well in
our performance test. All pages with hint page fault latency < hot
threshold will be considered hot.
It's hard for users to determine the hot threshold. So we don't provide a
kernel ABI to set it, just provide a debugfs interface for advanced users
to experiment. We will continue to work on a hot threshold automatic
adjustment mechanism.
The downside of the above method is that the response time to the workload
hot spot changing may be much longer. For example,
- A previous cold memory area becomes hot
- The hint page fault will be triggered. But the hint page fault
latency isn't shorter than the hot threshold. So the pages will
not be promoted.
- When the memory area is scanned again, maybe after a scan period,
the hint page fault latency measured will be shorter than the hot
threshold and the pages will be promoted.
To mitigate this, if there are enough free space in the fast memory node,
the hot threshold will not be used, all pages will be promoted upon the
hint page fault for fast response.
Thanks Zhong Jiang reported and tested the fix for a bug when disabling
memory tiering mode dynamically.

Not all huge page APIs support FOLL_GET option, so move_pages() syscall
will fail to get the page node information for some huge pages.
Like x86 on linux 5.19 with 1GB huge page API follow_huge_pud(), it will
return NULL page for FOLL_GET when calling move_pages() syscall with the
NULL 'nodes' parameter, the 'status' parameter has '-2' error in array.
Note: follow_huge_pud() now supports FOLL_GET in linux 6.0.
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220714042420.1847125-3-naoya.horiguchi@linux.dev
But these huge page APIs don't support FOLL_GET:
1. follow_huge_pud() in arch/s390/mm/hugetlbpage.c
2. follow_huge_addr() in arch/ia64/mm/hugetlbpage.c
It will cause WARN_ON_ONCE for FOLL_GET.
3. follow_huge_pgd() in mm/hugetlb.c
This is an temporary solution to mitigate the side effect of the race
condition fix by calling follow_page() with FOLL_GET set for huge pages.
After supporting follow huge page by FOLL_GET is done, this fix can be
reverted safely.

Let's mark exclusively mapped anonymous pages with PG_anon_exclusive as
exclusive, and use that information to make GUP pins reliable and stay
consistent with the page mapped into the page table even if the page table
entry gets write-protected.
With that information at hand, we can extend our COW logic to always reuse
anonymous pages that are exclusive. For anonymous pages that might be
shared, the existing logic applies.
As already documented, PG_anon_exclusive is usually only expressive in
combination with a page table entry. Especially PTE vs. PMD-mapped
anonymous pages require more thought, some examples: due to mremap() we
can easily have a single compound page PTE-mapped into multiple page
tables exclusively in a single process -- multiple page table locks apply.
Further, due to MADV_WIPEONFORK we might not necessarily write-protect
all PTEs, and only some subpages might be pinned. Long story short: once
PTE-mapped, we have to track information about exclusivity per sub-page,
but until then, we can just track it for the compound page in the head
page and not having to update a whole bunch of subpages all of the time
for a simple PMD mapping of a THP.
For simplicity, this commit mostly talks about "anonymous pages", while
it's for THP actually "the part of an anonymous folio referenced via a
page table entry".
To not spill PG_anon_exclusive code all over the mm code-base, we let the
anon rmap code to handle all PG_anon_exclusive logic it can easily handle.
If a writable, present page table entry points at an anonymous (sub)page,
that (sub)page must be PG_anon_exclusive. If GUP wants to take a reliably
pin (FOLL_PIN) on an anonymous page references via a present page table
entry, it must only pin if PG_anon_exclusive is set for the mapped
(sub)page.
This commit doesn't adjust GUP, so this is only implicitly handled for
FOLL_WRITE, follow-up commits will teach GUP to also respect it for
FOLL_PIN without FOLL_WRITE, to make all GUP pins of anonymous pages fully
reliable.
Whenever an anonymous page is to be shared (fork(), KSM), or when
temporarily unmapping an anonymous page (swap, migration), the relevant
PG_anon_exclusive bit has to be cleared to mark the anonymous page
possibly shared. Clearing will fail if there are GUP pins on the page:
* For fork(), this means having to copy the page and not being able to
share it. fork() protects against concurrent GUP using the PT lock and
the src_mm->write_protect_seq.
* For KSM, this means sharing will fail. For swap this means, unmapping
will fail, For migration this means, migration will fail early. All
three cases protect against concurrent GUP using the PT lock and a
proper clear/invalidate+flush of the relevant page table entry.
This fixes memory corruptions reported for FOLL_PIN | FOLL_WRITE, when a
pinned page gets mapped R/O and the successive write fault ends up
replacing the page instead of reusing it. It improves the situation for
O_DIRECT/vmsplice/... that still use FOLL_GET instead of FOLL_PIN, if
fork() is *not* involved, however swapout and fork() are still
problematic. Properly using FOLL_PIN instead of FOLL_GET for these GUP
users will fix the issue for them.
I. Details about basic handling
I.1. Fresh anonymous pages
page_add_new_anon_rmap() and hugepage_add_new_anon_rmap() will mark the
given page exclusive via __page_set_anon_rmap(exclusive=1). As that is
the mechanism fresh anonymous pages come into life (besides migration code
where we copy the page->mapping), all fresh anonymous pages will start out
as exclusive.
I.2. COW reuse handling of anonymous pages
When a COW handler stumbles over a (sub)page that's marked exclusive, it
simply reuses it. Otherwise, the handler tries harder under page lock to
detect if the (sub)page is exclusive and can be reused. If exclusive,
page_move_anon_rmap() will mark the given (sub)page exclusive.
Note that hugetlb code does not yet check for PageAnonExclusive(), as it
still uses the old COW logic that is prone to the COW security issue
because hugetlb code cannot really tolerate unnecessary/wrong COW as huge
pages are a scarce resource.
I.3. Migration handling
try_to_migrate() has to try marking an exclusive anonymous page shared via
page_try_share_anon_rmap(). If it fails because there are GUP pins on the
page, unmap fails. migrate_vma_collect_pmd() and
__split_huge_pmd_locked() are handled similarly.
Writable migration entries implicitly point at shared anonymous pages.
For readable migration entries that information is stored via a new
"readable-exclusive" migration entry, specific to anonymous pages.
When restoring a migration entry in remove_migration_pte(), information
about exlusivity is detected via the migration entry type, and
RMAP_EXCLUSIVE is set accordingly for
page_add_anon_rmap()/hugepage_add_anon_rmap() to restore that information.
I.4. Swapout handling
try_to_unmap() has to try marking the mapped page possibly shared via
page_try_share_anon_rmap(). If it fails because there are GUP pins on the
page, unmap fails. For now, information about exclusivity is lost. In
the future, we might want to remember that information in the swap entry
in some cases, however, it requires more thought, care, and a way to store
that information in swap entries.
I.5. Swapin handling
do_swap_page() will never stumble over exclusive anonymous pages in the
swap cache, as try_to_migrate() prohibits that. do_swap_page() always has
to detect manually if an anonymous page is exclusive and has to set
RMAP_EXCLUSIVE for page_add_anon_rmap() accordingly.
I.6. THP handling
__split_huge_pmd_locked() has to move the information about exclusivity
from the PMD to the PTEs.
a) In case we have a readable-exclusive PMD migration entry, simply
insert readable-exclusive PTE migration entries.
b) In case we have a present PMD entry and we don't want to freeze
("convert to migration entries"), simply forward PG_anon_exclusive to
all sub-pages, no need to temporarily clear the bit.
c) In case we have a present PMD entry and want to freeze, handle it
similar to try_to_migrate(): try marking the page shared first. In
case we fail, we ignore the "freeze" instruction and simply split
ordinarily. try_to_migrate() will properly fail because the THP is
still mapped via PTEs.
When splitting a compound anonymous folio (THP), the information about
exclusivity is implicitly handled via the migration entries: no need to
replicate PG_anon_exclusive manually.
I.7. fork() handling fork() handling is relatively easy, because
PG_anon_exclusive is only expressive for some page table entry types.
a) Present anonymous pages
page_try_dup_anon_rmap() will mark the given subpage shared -- which will
fail if the page is pinned. If it failed, we have to copy (or PTE-map a
PMD to handle it on the PTE level).
Note that device exclusive entries are just a pointer at a PageAnon()
page. fork() will first convert a device exclusive entry to a present
page table and handle it just like present anonymous pages.
b) Device private entry
Device private entries point at PageAnon() pages that cannot be mapped
directly and, therefore, cannot get pinned.
page_try_dup_anon_rmap() will mark the given subpage shared, which cannot
fail because they cannot get pinned.
c) HW poison entries
PG_anon_exclusive will remain untouched and is stale -- the page table
entry is just a placeholder after all.
d) Migration entries
Writable and readable-exclusive entries are converted to readable entries:
possibly shared.
I.8. mprotect() handling
mprotect() only has to properly handle the new readable-exclusive
migration entry:
When write-protecting a migration entry that points at an anonymous page,
remember the information about exclusivity via the "readable-exclusive"
migration entry type.
II. Migration and GUP-fast
Whenever replacing a present page table entry that maps an exclusive
anonymous page by a migration entry, we have to mark the page possibly
shared and synchronize against GUP-fast by a proper clear/invalidate+flush
to make the following scenario impossible:
1. try_to_migrate() places a migration entry after checking for GUP pins
and marks the page possibly shared.
2. GUP-fast pins the page due to lack of synchronization
3. fork() converts the "writable/readable-exclusive" migration entry into a
readable migration entry
4. Migration fails due to the GUP pin (failing to freeze the refcount)
5. Migration entries are restored. PG_anon_exclusive is lost
-> We have a pinned page that is not marked exclusive anymore.
Note that we move information about exclusivity from the page to the
migration entry as it otherwise highly overcomplicates fork() and
PTE-mapping a THP.
III. Swapout and GUP-fast
Whenever replacing a present page table entry that maps an exclusive
anonymous page by a swap entry, we have to mark the page possibly shared
and synchronize against GUP-fast by a proper clear/invalidate+flush to
make the following scenario impossible:
1. try_to_unmap() places a swap entry after checking for GUP pins and
clears exclusivity information on the page.
2. GUP-fast pins the page due to lack of synchronization.
-> We have a pinned page that is not marked exclusive anymore.
If we'd ever store information about exclusivity in the swap entry,
similar to migration handling, the same considerations as in II would
apply. This is future work.

... and instead convert page_add_anon_rmap() to accept flags.
Passing flags instead of bools is usually nicer either way, and we want to
more often also pass RMAP_EXCLUSIVE in follow up patches when detecting
that an anonymous page is exclusive: for example, when restoring an
anonymous page from a writable migration entry.
This is a preparation for marking an anonymous page inside
page_add_anon_rmap() as exclusive when RMAP_EXCLUSIVE is passed.

... and move the special check for pinned pages into
page_try_dup_anon_rmap() to prepare for tracking exclusive anonymous pages
via a new pageflag, clearing it only after making sure that there are no
GUP pins on the anonymous page.
We really only care about pins on anonymous pages, because they are prone
to getting replaced in the COW handler once mapped R/O. For !anon pages
in cow-mappings (!VM_SHARED && VM_MAYWRITE) we shouldn't really care about
that, at least not that I could come up with an example.
Let's drop the is_cow_mapping() check from page_needs_cow_for_dma(), as we
know we're dealing with anonymous pages. Also, drop the handling of
pinned pages from copy_huge_pud() and add a comment if ever supporting
anonymous pages on the PUD level.
This is a preparation for tracking exclusivity of anonymous pages in the
rmap code, and disallowing marking a page shared (-> failing to duplicate)
if there are GUP pins on a page.

At the time demote-on-reclaim was introduced, it was tied to
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU + CONFIG_MIGRATE, but that is not really accurate.
The only two things we need to depend on are CONFIG_NUMA + CONFIG_MIGRATE,
so clean this up. Furthermore, we only register the hotplug memory
notifier when the system has CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG.

There is no need to validate the hugetlb page's refcount before trying to
freeze the hugetlb page's expected refcount, instead we can just rely on
the page_ref_freeze() to simplify the validation.
Moreover we are always under the page lock when migrating the hugetlb page
mapping, which means nowhere else can remove it from the page cache, so we
can remove the xas_load() validation under the i_pages lock.
