The system call, get_mempolicy() [1], passes an unsigned long *nodemask
pointer and an unsigned long maxnode argument which specifies the length
of the user's nodemask array in bits (which is rounded up). The manual
page says that if the maxnode value is too small, get_mempolicy will
return EINVAL but there is no system call to return this minimum value.
To determine this value, some programs search /proc/<pid>/status for a
line starting with "Mems_allowed:" and use the number of digits in the
mask to determine the minimum value. A recent change to the way this line
is formatted [2] causes these programs to compute a value less than
MAX_NUMNODES so get_mempolicy() returns EINVAL.
Change get_mempolicy(), the older compat version of get_mempolicy(), and
the copy_nodes_to_user() function to use nr_node_ids instead of
MAX_NUMNODES, thus preserving the defacto method of computing the minimum
size for the nodemask array and the maxnode argument.

This reverts commit 89c83fb539.
This should have been done as part of 2f0799a0ff ("mm, thp: restore
node-local hugepage allocations"). The movement of the thp allocation
policy from alloc_pages_vma() to alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask() was
intended to only set __GFP_THISNODE for mempolicies that are not
MPOL_BIND whereas the revert could set this regardless of mempolicy.
While the check for MPOL_BIND between alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask()
and alloc_pages_vma() was racy, that has since been removed since the
revert. What is left is the possibility to use __GFP_THISNODE in
policy_node() when it is unexpected because the special handling for
hugepages in alloc_pages_vma() was removed as part of the consolidation.
Secondly, prior to 89c83fb539, alloc_pages_vma() implemented a somewhat
different policy for hugepage allocations, which were allocated through
alloc_hugepage_vma(). For hugepage allocations, if the allocating
process's node is in the set of allowed nodes, allocate with
__GFP_THISNODE for that node (for MPOL_PREFERRED, use that node with
__GFP_THISNODE instead). This was changed for shmem_alloc_hugepage() to
allow fallback to other nodes in 89c83fb539 as it did for new_page() in
mm/mempolicy.c which is functionally different behavior and removes the
requirement to only allocate hugepages locally.
So this commit does a full revert of 89c83fb539 instead of the partial
revert that was done in 2f0799a0ff. The result is the same thp
allocation policy for 4.20 that was in 4.19.

This is a full revert of ac5b2c1891 ("mm: thp: relax __GFP_THISNODE for
MADV_HUGEPAGE mappings") and a partial revert of 89c83fb539 ("mm, thp:
consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask").
By not setting __GFP_THISNODE, applications can allocate remote hugepages
when the local node is fragmented or low on memory when either the thp
defrag setting is "always" or the vma has been madvised with
MADV_HUGEPAGE.
Remote access to hugepages often has much higher latency than local pages
of the native page size. On Haswell, ac5b2c1891 was shown to have a
13.9% access regression after this commit for binaries that remap their
text segment to be backed by transparent hugepages.
The intent of ac5b2c1891 is to address an issue where a local node is
low on memory or fragmented such that a hugepage cannot be allocated. In
every scenario where this was described as a fix, there is abundant and
unfragmented remote memory available to allocate from, even with a greater
access latency.
If remote memory is also low or fragmented, not setting __GFP_THISNODE was
also measured on Haswell to have a 40% regression in allocation latency.
Restore __GFP_THISNODE for thp allocations.

THP allocation mode is quite complex and it depends on the defrag mode.
This complexity is hidden in alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask from a large
part currently. The NUMA special casing (namely __GFP_THISNODE) is
however independent and placed in alloc_pages_vma currently. This both
adds an unnecessary branch to all vma based page allocation requests and
it makes the code more complex unnecessarily as well. Not to mention
that e.g. shmem THP used to do the node reclaiming unconditionally
regardless of the defrag mode until recently. This was not only
unexpected behavior but it was also hardly a good default behavior and I
strongly suspect it was just a side effect of the code sharing more than
a deliberate decision which suggests that such a layering is wrong.
Get rid of the thp special casing from alloc_pages_vma and move the
logic to alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask. __GFP_THISNODE is applied to the
resulting gfp mask only when the direct reclaim is not requested and
when there is no explicit numa binding to preserve the current logic.
Please note that there's also a slight difference wrt MPOL_BIND now. The
previous code would avoid using __GFP_THISNODE if the local node was
outside of policy_nodemask(). After this patch __GFP_THISNODE is avoided
for all MPOL_BIND policies. So there's a difference that if local node
is actually allowed by the bind policy's nodemask, previously
__GFP_THISNODE would be added, but now it won't be. From the behavior
POV this is still correct because the policy nodemask is used.

The defrag mode is "madvise" and from the above report it is clear that
the THP has been allocated for MADV_HUGEPAGA vma.
Andrea has identified that the main source of the problem is
__GFP_THISNODE usage:
: The problem is that direct compaction combined with the NUMA
: __GFP_THISNODE logic in mempolicy.c is telling reclaim to swap very
: hard the local node, instead of failing the allocation if there's no
: THP available in the local node.
:
: Such logic was ok until __GFP_THISNODE was added to the THP allocation
: path even with MPOL_DEFAULT.
:
: The idea behind the __GFP_THISNODE addition, is that it is better to
: provide local memory in PAGE_SIZE units than to use remote NUMA THP
: backed memory. That largely depends on the remote latency though, on
: threadrippers for example the overhead is relatively low in my
: experience.
:
: The combination of __GFP_THISNODE and __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM results in
: extremely slow qemu startup with vfio, if the VM is larger than the
: size of one host NUMA node. This is because it will try very hard to
: unsuccessfully swapout get_user_pages pinned pages as result of the
: __GFP_THISNODE being set, instead of falling back to PAGE_SIZE
: allocations and instead of trying to allocate THP on other nodes (it
: would be even worse without vfio type1 GUP pins of course, except it'd
: be swapping heavily instead).
Fix this by removing __GFP_THISNODE for THP requests which are
requesting the direct reclaim. This effectivelly reverts 5265047ac3
on the grounds that the zone/node reclaim was known to be disruptive due
to premature reclaim when there was memory free. While it made sense at
the time for HPC workloads without NUMA awareness on rare machines, it
was ultimately harmful in the majority of cases. The existing behaviour
is similar, if not as widespare as it applies to a corner case but
crucially, it cannot be tuned around like zone_reclaim_mode can. The
default behaviour should always be to cause the least harm for the
common case.
If there are specialised use cases out there that want zone_reclaim_mode
in specific cases, then it can be built on top. Longterm we should
consider a memory policy which allows for the node reclaim like behavior
for the specific memory ranges which would allow a

: Both patches look correct to me but I'm responding to this one because

: I put together a basic experiment with usemem configured to reference a

This was a severe regression compared to previous kernels that made
important workloads unusable and it starts when __GFP_THISNODE was
added to THP allocations under MADV_HUGEPAGE. It is not a significant
risk to go to the previous behavior before __GFP_THISNODE was added, it
worked like that for years.
This was simply an optimization to some lucky workloads that can fit in
a single node, but it ended up breaking the VM for others that can't
possibly fit in a single node, so going back is safe.

get_mempolicy(MPOL_F_NODE|MPOL_F_ADDR) called a get_user_pages that would
not be waiting for userfaults before failing and it would hit on a SIGBUS
instead. Using get_user_pages_locked/unlocked instead will allow
get_mempolicy to allow userfaults to resolve the fault and fill the hole,
before grabbing the node id of the page.
If the user calls get_mempolicy() with MPOL_F_ADDR | MPOL_F_NODE for an
address inside an area managed by uffd and there is no page at that
address, the page allocation from within get_mempolicy() will fail
because get_user_pages() does not allow for page fault retry required
for uffd; the user will get SIGBUS.
With this patch, the page fault will be resolved by the uffd and the
get_mempolicy() will continue normally.
Background:
Via code review, previously the syscall would have returned -EFAULT
(vm_fault_to_errno), now it will block and wait for an userfault (if
it's waken before the fault is resolved it'll still -EFAULT).
This way get_mempolicy will give a chance to an "unaware" app to be
compliant with userfaults.
The reason this visible change is that becoming "userfault compliant"
cannot regress anything: all other syscalls including read(2)/write(2)
had to become "userfault compliant" long time ago (that's one of the
things userfaultfd can do that PROT_NONE and trapping segfaults can't).
So this is just one more syscall that become "userfault compliant" like
all other major ones already were.
This has been happening on virtio-bridge dpdk process which just called
get_mempolicy on the guest space post live migration, but before the
memory had a chance to be migrated to destination.
I didn't run an strace to be able to show the -EFAULT going away, but
I've the confirmation of the below debug aid information (only visible
with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y) going away with the patch:

The above harmless debug message (not a kernel crash, just a
dump_stack()) is shown with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y to more quickly identify
and improve kernel spots that may have to become "userfaultfd
compliant" like this one (without having to run an strace and search
for syscall misbehavior). Spots like the above are more closer to a
kernel bug for the non-cooperative usages that Mike focuses on, than
for for dpdk qemu-cooperative usages that reproduced it, but it's still
nicer to get this fixed for dpdk too.
The part of the patch that caused me to think is only the
implementation issue of mpol_get, but it looks like it should work safe
no matter the kind of mempolicy structure that is (the default static
policy also starts at 1 so it'll go to 2 and back to 1 without crashing
everything at 0).

THP migration is hacked into the generic migration with rather
surprising semantic. The migration allocation callback is supposed to
check whether the THP can be migrated at once and if that is not the
case then it allocates a simple page to migrate. unmap_and_move then
fixes that up by spliting the THP into small pages while moving the head
page to the newly allocated order-0 page. Remaning pages are moved to
the LRU list by split_huge_page. The same happens if the THP allocation
fails. This is really ugly and error prone [1].
I also believe that split_huge_page to the LRU lists is inherently wrong
because all tail pages are not migrated. Some callers will just work
around that by retrying (e.g. memory hotplug). There are other pfn
walkers which are simply broken though. e.g. madvise_inject_error will
migrate head and then advances next pfn by the huge page size.
do_move_page_to_node_array, queue_pages_range (migrate_pages, mbind),
will simply split the THP before migration if the THP migration is not
supported then falls back to single page migration but it doesn't handle
tail pages if the THP migration path is not able to allocate a fresh THP
so we end up with ENOMEM and fail the whole migration which is a
questionable behavior. Page compaction doesn't try to migrate large
pages so it should be immune.
This patch tries to unclutter the situation by moving the special THP
handling up to the migrate_pages layer where it actually belongs. We
simply split the THP page into the existing list if unmap_and_move fails
with ENOMEM and retry. So we will _always_ migrate all THP subpages and
specific migrate_pages users do not have to deal with this case in a
special way.

No allocation callback is using this argument anymore. new_page_node
used to use this parameter to convey node_id resp. migration error up
to move_pages code (do_move_page_to_node_array). The error status never
made it into the final status field and we have a better way to
communicate node id to the status field now. All other allocation
callbacks simply ignored the argument so we can drop it finally.

Patch series "unclutter thp migration"
Motivation:
THP migration is hacked into the generic migration with rather
surprising semantic. The migration allocation callback is supposed to
check whether the THP can be migrated at once and if that is not the
case then it allocates a simple page to migrate. unmap_and_move then
fixes that up by splitting the THP into small pages while moving the
head page to the newly allocated order-0 page. Remaining pages are
moved to the LRU list by split_huge_page. The same happens if the THP
allocation fails. This is really ugly and error prone [2].
I also believe that split_huge_page to the LRU lists is inherently wrong
because all tail pages are not migrated. Some callers will just work
around that by retrying (e.g. memory hotplug). There are other pfn
walkers which are simply broken though. e.g. madvise_inject_error will
migrate head and then advances next pfn by the huge page size.
do_move_page_to_node_array, queue_pages_range (migrate_pages, mbind),
will simply split the THP before migration if the THP migration is not
supported then falls back to single page migration but it doesn't handle
tail pages if the THP migration path is not able to allocate a fresh THP
so we end up with ENOMEM and fail the whole migration which is a
questionable behavior. Page compaction doesn't try to migrate large
pages so it should be immune.
The first patch reworks do_pages_move which relies on a very ugly
calling semantic when the return status is pushed to the migration path
via private pointer. It uses pre allocated fixed size batching to
achieve that. We simply cannot do the same if a THP is to be split
during the migration path which is done in the patch 3. Patch 2 is
follow up cleanup which removes the mentioned return status calling
convention ugliness.
On a side note:
There are some semantic issues I have encountered on the way when
working on patch 1 but I am not addressing them here. E.g. trying to
move THP tail pages will result in either success or EBUSY (the later
one more likely once we isolate head from the LRU list). Hugetlb
reports EACCESS on tail pages. Some errors are reported via status
parameter but migration failures are not even though the original
`reason' argument suggests there was an intention to do so. From a
quick look into git history this never worked. I have tried to keep the
semantic unchanged.
Then there is a relatively minor thing that the page isolation might
fail because of pages not being on the LRU - e.g. because they are
sitting on the per-cpu LRU caches. Easily fixable.
This patch (of 3):
do_pages_move is supposed to move user defined memory (an array of
addresses) to the user defined numa nodes (an array of nodes one for
each address). The user provided status array then contains resulting
numa node for each address or an error. The semantic of this function
is little bit confusing because only some errors are reported back.
Notably migrate_pages error is only reported via the return value. This
patch doesn't try to address these semantic nuances but rather change
the underlying implementation.
Currently we are processing user input (which can be really large) in
batches which are stored to a temporarily allocated page. Each address
is resolved to its struct page and stored to page_to_node structure
along with the requested target numa node. The array of these
structures is then conveyed down the page migration path via private
argument. new_page_node then finds the corresponding structure and
allocates the proper target page.
What is the problem with the current implementation and why to change
it? Apart from being quite ugly it also doesn't cope with unexpected
pages showing up on the migration list inside migrate_pages path. That
doesn't happen currently but the follow up patch would like to make the
thp migration code more clear and that would need to split a THP into
the list for some cases.
How does the new implementation work? Well, instead of batching into a
fixed size array we simply batch all pages that should be migrated to
the same node and isolate all of them into a linked list which doesn't
require any additional storage. This should work reasonably well
because page migration usually migrates larger ranges of memory to a
specific node. So the common case should work equally well as the
current implementation. Even if somebody constructs an input where the
target numa nodes would be interleaved we shouldn't see a large
performance impact because page migration alone doesn't really benefit
from batching. mmap_sem batching for the lookup is quite questionable
and isolate_lru_page which would benefit from batching is not using it
even in the current implementation.

Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski:
"System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel.
Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or
compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the
syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel.
At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from
v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is
better to use use a different calling convention for system calls
there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper
which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This
means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a
specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of
filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the
time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those
x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near
future.
Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel
data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is
generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific
code.
This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the
kernel with the exception of arch/. On top of this, it cleans up the
three places where many syscalls are referenced or prototyped, namely

Dan Carpenter has noticed that mbind migration callback (new_page) can
get a NULL vma pointer and choke on it inside alloc_huge_page_vma which
relies on the VMA to get the hstate. We used to BUG_ON this case but
the BUG_+ON has been removed recently by "hugetlb, mempolicy: fix the
mbind hugetlb migration".
The proper way to handle this is to get the hstate from the migrated
page and rely on huge_node (resp. get_vma_policy) do the right thing
with null VMA. We are currently falling back to the default mempolicy
in that case which is in line what THP path is doing here.

do_mbind migration code relies on alloc_huge_page_noerr for hugetlb
pages. alloc_huge_page_noerr uses alloc_huge_page which is a highlevel
allocation function which has to take care of reserves, overcommit or
hugetlb cgroup accounting. None of that is really required for the page
migration because the new page is only temporal and either will replace
the original page or it will be dropped. This is essentially as for
other migration call paths and there shouldn't be any reason to handle
mbind in a special way.
The current implementation is even suboptimal because the migration
might fail just because the hugetlb cgroup limit is reached, or the
overcommit is saturated.
Fix this by making mbind like other hugetlb migration paths. Add a new
migration helper alloc_huge_page_vma as a wrapper around
alloc_huge_page_nodemask with additional mempolicy handling.
alloc_huge_page_noerr has no more users and it can go.

As in manpage of migrate_pages, the errno should be set to EINVAL when
none of the node IDs specified by new_nodes are on-line and allowed by
the process's current cpuset context, or none of the specified nodes
contain memory. However, when test by following case:
new_nodes = 0;
old_nodes = 0xf;
ret = migrate_pages(pid, old_nodes, new_nodes, MAX);
The ret will be 0 and no errno is set. As the new_nodes is empty, we
should expect EINVAL as documented.
To fix the case like above, this patch check whether target nodes AND
current task_nodes is empty, and then check whether AND
node_states[N_MEMORY] is empty.

migrate_pages01 14 TFAIL : migrate_pages_common.c:45: unexpected failure - returned value = 0, expected: -1

The new nodes specifies one or more node IDs that are greater than the
maximum supported node ID, however, the errno is not set to EINVAL as
expected.
As man pages of set_mempolicy[1], mbind[2], and migrate_pages[3]
mentioned, when nodemask specifies one or more node IDs that are greater
than the maximum supported node ID, the errno should set to EINVAL.
However, get_nodes only check whether the part of bits
[BITS_PER_LONG*BITS_TO_LONGS(MAX_NUMNODES), maxnode) is zero or not, and
remain [MAX_NUMNODES, BITS_PER_LONG*BITS_TO_LONGS(MAX_NUMNODES)
unchecked.
This patch is to check the bits of [MAX_NUMNODES, maxnode) in get_nodes
to let migrate_pages set the errno to EINVAL when nodemask specifies one
or more node IDs that are greater than the maximum supported node ID,
which follows the manpage's guide.

This is the second step which introduces a tunable interface that allow
numa stats configurable for optimizing zone_statistics(), as suggested
by Dave Hansen and Ying Huang.
=========================================================================
When page allocation performance becomes a bottleneck and you can
tolerate some possible tool breakage and decreased numa counter
precision, you can do:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat
In this case, numa counter update is ignored. We can see about
*4.8%*(185->176) drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and
reclaim on Jesper's page_bench01 (single thread) and *8.1%*(343->315)
drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's
page_bench03 (88 threads) running on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based server
(88 threads, 126G memory).
Benchmark link provided by Jesper D Brouer (increase loop times to
10000000):
https://github.com/netoptimizer/prototype-kernel/tree/master/kernel/mm/bench
=========================================================================
When page allocation performance is not a bottleneck and you want all
tooling to work, you can do:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat
This is system default setting.

Commit 197e7e5213 ("Sanitize 'move_pages()' permission checks") fixed
a security issue I reported in the move_pages syscall, and made it so
that you can't act on set-uid processes unless you have the

Unify the access check logic of migrate_pages to match the new behavior
of move_pages. We discussed this a bit in the security@ list and
thought it'd be good for consistency even though there's no evident
security impact. The NUMA node access checks are left intact and
require CAP_SYS_NICE as before.

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

Page migration (for memory hotplug, soft_offline_page or mbind) needs to
allocate a new memory. This can trigger an oom killer if the target
memory is depleated. Although quite unlikely, still possible,
especially for the memory hotplug (offlining of memoery).
Up to now we didn't really have reasonable means to back off.
__GFP_NORETRY can fail just too easily and __GFP_THISNODE sticks to a
single node and that is not suitable for all callers.
But now that we have __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL we should use it. It is
preferable to fail the migration than disrupt the system by killing some
processes.

Two wrappers of __alloc_pages_nodemask() are checking
task->mems_allowed_seq themselves to retry allocation that has raced
with a cpuset update.
This has been shown to be ineffective in preventing premature OOM's
which can happen in __alloc_pages_slowpath() long before it returns back
to the wrappers to detect the race at that level.
Previous patches have made __alloc_pages_slowpath() more robust, so we
can now simply remove the seqlock checking in the wrappers to prevent
further wrong impression that it can actually help.

Commit c0ff7453bb ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when
changing cpuset's mems") has introduced a two-step protocol when
rebinding task's mempolicy due to cpuset update, in order to avoid a
parallel allocation seeing an empty effective nodemask and failing.
Later, commit cc9a6c8776 ("cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory
barrier related damage v3") introduced a seqlock protection and removed
the synchronization point between the two update steps. At that point
(or perhaps later), the two-step rebinding became unnecessary.
Currently it only makes sure that the update first adds new nodes in
step 1 and then removes nodes in step 2. Without memory barriers the
effects are questionable, and even then this cannot prevent a parallel
zonelist iteration checking the nodemask at each step to observe all
nodes as unusable for allocation. We now fully rely on the seqlock to
prevent premature OOMs and allocation failures.
We can thus remove the two-step update parts and simplify the code.

The main allocator function __alloc_pages_nodemask() takes a zonelist
pointer as one of its parameters. All of its callers directly or
indirectly obtain the zonelist via node_zonelist() using a preferred
node id and gfp_mask. We can make the code a bit simpler by doing the
zonelist lookup in __alloc_pages_nodemask(), passing it a preferred node
id instead (gfp_mask is already another parameter).
There are some code size benefits thanks to removal of inlined
node_zonelist():
bloat-o-meter add/remove: 2/2 grow/shrink: 4/36 up/down: 399/-1351 (-952)
This will also make things simpler if we proceed with converting cpusets
to zonelists.

The task->il_next variable stores the next allocation node id for task's
MPOL_INTERLEAVE policy. mpol_rebind_nodemask() updates interleave and
bind mempolicies due to changing cpuset mems. Currently it also tries
to make sure that current->il_next is valid within the updated nodemask.
This is bogus, because 1) we are updating potentially any task's
mempolicy, not just current, and 2) we might be updating a per-vma
mempolicy, not task one.
The interleave_nodes() function that uses il_next can cope fine with the
value not being within the currently allowed nodes, so this hasn't
manifested as an actual issue.
We can remove the need for updating il_next completely by changing it to
il_prev and store the node id of the previous interleave allocation
instead of the next id. Then interleave_nodes() can calculate the next
id using the current nodemask and also store it as il_prev, except when
querying the next node via do_get_mempolicy().

Since commit be97a41b29 ("mm/mempolicy.c: merge alloc_hugepage_vma to
alloc_pages_vma") alloc_pages_vma() can potentially free a mempolicy by
mpol_cond_put() before accessing the embedded nodemask by
__alloc_pages_nodemask(). The commit log says it's so "we can use a
single exit path within the function" but that's clearly wrong. We can
still do that when doing mpol_cond_put() after the allocation attempt.
Make sure the mempolicy is not freed prematurely, otherwise
__alloc_pages_nodemask() can end up using a bogus nodemask, which could
lead e.g. to premature OOM.

The MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES and MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES flags are irrelevant
when setting them for MPOL_LOCAL NUMA memory policy via set_mempolicy or
mbind.
Return the "invalid argument" from set_mempolicy and mbind whenever any
of these flags is passed along with MPOL_LOCAL.
It is consistent with MPOL_PREFERRED passed with empty nodemask.
It slightly shortens the execution time in paths where these flags are
used e.g. when trying to rebind the NUMA nodes for changes in cgroups
cpuset mems (mpol_rebind_preferred()) or when just printing the mempolicy
structure (/proc/PID/numa_maps). Isolated tests done.

__GFP_THISNODE is documented to enforce the allocation to be satisified
from the requested node with no fallbacks or placement policy
enforcements. policy_zonelist seemingly breaks this semantic if the
current policy is MPOL_MBIND and instead of taking the node it will
fallback to the first node in the mask if the requested one is not in
the mask. This is confusing to say the least because it fact we
shouldn't ever go that path. First tasks shouldn't be scheduled on CPUs
with nodes outside of their mempolicy binding. And secondly
policy_zonelist is called only from 3 places:
- huge_zonelist - never should do __GFP_THISNODE when going this path
- alloc_pages_vma - which shouldn't depend on __GFP_THISNODE either
- alloc_pages_current - which uses default_policy id __GFP_THISNODE is
used
So we shouldn't even need to care about this possibility and can drop
the confusing code. Let's keep a WARN_ON_ONCE in place to catch
potential users and fix them up properly (aka use a different allocation
function which ignores mempolicy).

This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such
as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking.
Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is
necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node
logic. Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry
logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and
active sizes. It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a
per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache
lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks.
Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note
that it introduces a number of anomalies. For example, the scans are
per-zone but using per-node counters. We also mark a node as congested
when a zone is congested. This causes weird problems that are fixed
later but is easier to review.
In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to
the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions
1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem
When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU
list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same
highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem
keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages
arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially
could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list.
That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that
highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages.
2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails
This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during
memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.

Here's basic implementation of huge pages support for shmem/tmpfs.
It's all pretty streight-forward:
- shmem_getpage() allcoates huge page if it can and try to inserd into
radix tree with shmem_add_to_page_cache();
- shmem_add_to_page_cache() puts the page onto radix-tree if there's
space for it;
- shmem_undo_range() removes huge pages, if it fully within range.
Partial truncate of huge pages zero out this part of THP.
This have visible effect on fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE)
behaviour. As we don't really create hole in this case,
lseek(SEEK_HOLE) may have inconsistent results depending what
pages happened to be allocated.
- no need to change shmem_fault: core-mm will map an compound page as
huge if VMA is suitable;

Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).
There's a background article at LWN.net:
https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/
The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
user-controllable permission masks in the pte. So instead of having a
fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
virtual memory range.
This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions. It also
allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
below).
This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
if a user-space application calls:
mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);
or
mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);
(note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
memory range. It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
and unwritable.
So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
PROT_READ as well. Unreadable executable mappings have security
advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.
We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.
There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
pull request.
Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
(CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
(like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment. If there's
any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
flip the default"

We don't have native support of THP migration, so we have to split huge
page into small pages in order to migrate it to different node. This
includes PTE-mapped huge pages.
I made mistake in refcounting patchset: we don't actually split
PTE-mapped huge page in queue_pages_pte_range(), if we step on head
page.
The result is that the head page is queued for migration, but none of
tail pages: putting head page on queue takes pin on the page and any
subsequent attempts of split_huge_pages() would fail and we skip queuing
tail pages.
unmap_and_move_huge_page() will eventually split the huge pages, but
only one of 512 pages would get migrated.
Let's fix the situation.

get_user_pages_unlocked()

Maybe I miss some point, but I don't see a reason why we try to queue
pages from non migratable VMAs.
This testcase steps on VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() in isolate_lru_page():
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <numaif.h>
#define SIZE 0x2000
int foo;
int main()
{
int fd;
char *p;
unsigned long mask = 2;
fd = open("/dev/sg0", O_RDWR);
p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
/* Faultin pages */
foo = p[0] + p[0x1000];
mbind(p, SIZE, MPOL_BIND, &mask, 4, MPOL_MF_MOVE | MPOL_MF_STRICT);
return 0;
}
The only case when we can queue pages from such VMA is MPOL_MF_STRICT
plus MPOL_MF_MOVE or MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL for VMA which has pages on LRU,
but gfp mask is not sutable for migaration (see mapping_gfp_mask() check
in vma_migratable()). That's looks like a bug to me.
Let's filter out non-migratable vma at start of queue_pages_test_walk()
and go to queue_pages_pte_range() only if MPOL_MF_MOVE or
MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL flag is set.

When running the SPECint_rate gcc on some very large boxes it was
noticed that the system was spending lots of time in
mpol_shared_policy_lookup(). The gamess benchmark can also show it and
is what I mostly used to chase down the issue since the setup for that I
found to be easier.
To be clear the binaries were on tmpfs because of disk I/O requirements.
We then used text replication to avoid icache misses and having all the
copies banging on the memory where the instruction code resides. This
results in us hitting a bottleneck in mpol_shared_policy_lookup() since
lookup is serialised by the shared_policy lock.
I have only reproduced this on very large (3k+ cores) boxes. The
problem starts showing up at just a few hundred ranks getting worse
until it threatens to livelock once it gets large enough. For example
on the gamess benchmark at 128 ranks this area consumes only ~1% of
time, at 512 ranks it consumes nearly 13%, and at 2k ranks it is over
90%.
To alleviate the contention in this area I converted the spinlock to an
rwlock. This allows a large number of lookups to happen simultaneously.
The results were quite good reducing this consumtion at max ranks to
around 2%.

alloc_pages_exact_node() was introduced in commit 6484eb3e2a ("page
allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is
valid") as an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node(), that doesn't
fallback to current node for nid == NUMA_NO_NODE. Unfortunately the
name of the function can easily suggest that the allocation is
restricted to the given node and fails otherwise. In truth, the node is
only preferred, unless __GFP_THISNODE is passed among the gfp flags.
The misleading name has lead to mistakes in the past, see for example
commits 5265047ac3 ("mm, thp: really limit transparent hugepage
allocation to local node") and b360edb43f ("mm, mempolicy:
migrate_to_node should only migrate to node").
Another issue with the name is that there's a family of
alloc_pages_exact*() functions where 'exact' means exact size (instead
of page order), which leads to more confusion.
To prevent further mistakes, this patch effectively renames
alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node() to better convey that
it's an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node() not intended for general
usage. Both functions get described in comments.
It has been also considered to really provide a convenience function for
allocations restricted to a node, but the major opinion seems to be that
__GFP_THISNODE already provides that functionality and we shouldn't
duplicate the API needlessly. The number of users would be small
anyway.
Existing callers of alloc_pages_exact_node() are simply converted to
call __alloc_pages_node(), with the exception of sba_alloc_coherent()
which open-codes the check for NUMA_NO_NODE, so it is converted to use
alloc_pages_node() instead. This means it no longer performs some
VM_BUG_ON checks, and since the current check for nid in
alloc_pages_node() uses a 'nid < 0' comparison (which includes
NUMA_NO_NODE), it may hide wrong values which would be previously
exposed.
Both differences will be rectified by the next patch.
To sum up, this patch makes no functional changes, except temporarily
hiding potentially buggy callers. Restricting the checks in
alloc_pages_node() is left for the next patch which can in turn expose
more existing buggy callers.

Since commit 077fcf116c ("mm/thp: allocate transparent hugepages on
local node"), we handle THP allocations on page fault in a special way -
for non-interleave memory policies, the allocation is only attempted on
the node local to the current CPU, if the policy's nodemask allows the
node.
This is motivated by the assumption that THP benefits cannot offset the
cost of remote accesses, so it's better to fallback to base pages on the
local node (which might still be available, while huge pages are not due
to fragmentation) than to allocate huge pages on a remote node.
The nodemask check prevents us from violating e.g. MPOL_BIND policies
where the local node is not among the allowed nodes. However, the
current implementation can still give surprising results for the
MPOL_PREFERRED policy when the preferred node is different than the
current CPU's local node.
In such case we should honor the preferred node and not use the local
node, which is what this patch does. If hugepage allocation on the
preferred node fails, we fall back to base pages and don't try other
nodes, with the same motivation as is done for the local node hugepage
allocations. The patch also moves the MPOL_INTERLEAVE check around to
simplify the hugepage specific test.
The difference can be demonstrated using in-tree transhuge-stress test
on the following 2-node machine where half memory on one node was
occupied to show the difference.
> numactl --hardware
available: 2 nodes (0-1)
node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35

node 1 size: 8045 MB
node 1 free: 7818 MB
node distances:
node 0 1
0: 10 21
1: 21 10
Before the patch:
> numactl -p0 -C0 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.197 s/loop, 0.276 ms/page, 7249.168 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 1786 different pages
> numactl -p0 -C12 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.962 s/loop, 0.372 ms/page, 5376.172 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 3873 different pages
Number of successful THP allocations corresponds to free memory on node 0 in
the first case and node 1 in the second case, i.e. -p parameter is ignored and
cpu binding "wins".
After the patch:
> numactl -p0 -C0 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.183 s/loop, 0.274 ms/page, 7295.516 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 1760 different pages
> numactl -p0 -C12 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.878 s/loop, 0.361 ms/page, 5533.638 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 1750 different pages
> numactl -p1 -C0 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 4.628 s/loop, 0.581 ms/page, 3440.893 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 3918 different pages
The -p parameter is respected regardless of cpu binding.
> numactl -C0 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.202 s/loop, 0.277 ms/page, 7230.003 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 1750 different pages
> numactl -C12 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 3.020 s/loop, 0.379 ms/page, 5273.324 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 3916 different pages
Without -p parameter, hugepage restriction to CPU-local node works as before.

NUMA balancing is meant to be disabled by default on UMA machines but
the check is using nr_node_ids (highest node) instead of
num_online_nodes (online nodes).
The consequences are that a UMA machine with a node ID of 1 or higher
will enable NUMA balancing. This will incur useless overhead due to
minor faults with the impact depending on the workload. These are the
impact on the stats when running a kernel build on a single node machine
whose node ID happened to be 1:
vanilla patched
NUMA base PTE updates 5113158 0
NUMA huge PMD updates 643 0
NUMA page range updates 5442374 0
NUMA hint faults 2109622 0

Commit 077fcf116c ("mm/thp: allocate transparent hugepages on local
node") restructured alloc_hugepage_vma() with the intent of only
allocating transparent hugepages locally when there was not an effective
interleave mempolicy.
alloc_pages_exact_node() does not limit the allocation to the single node,
however, but rather prefers it. This is because __GFP_THISNODE is not set
which would cause the node-local nodemask to be passed. Without it, only
a nodemask that prefers the local node is passed.
Fix this by passing __GFP_THISNODE and falling back to small pages when
the allocation fails.
Commit 9f1b868a13 ("mm: thp: khugepaged: add policy for finding target
node") suffers from a similar problem for khugepaged, which is also fixed.

migrate_to_node() is intended to migrate a page from one source node to
a target node.
Today, migrate_to_node() could end up migrating to any node, not only
the target node. This is because the page migration allocator,
new_node_page() does not pass __GFP_THISNODE to
alloc_pages_exact_node(). This causes the target node to be preferred
but allows fallback to any other node in order of affinity.
Prevent this by allocating with __GFP_THISNODE. If memory is not
available, -ENOMEM will be returned as appropriate.

walk_page_range() silently skips vma having VM_PFNMAP set, which leads to
undesirable behaviour at client end (who called walk_page_range). For
example for pagemap_read(), when no callbacks are called against VM_PFNMAP
vma, pagemap_read() may prepare pagemap data for next virtual address
range at wrong index. That could confuse and/or break userspace
applications.
This patch avoid this misbehavior caused by vma(VM_PFNMAP) like follows:
- for pagemap_read() which has its own ->pte_hole(), call the ->pte_hole()
over vma(VM_PFNMAP),
- for clear_refs and queue_pages which have their own ->tests_walk,
just return 1 and skip vma(VM_PFNMAP). This is no problem because
these are not interested in hole regions,
- for other callers, just skip the vma(VM_PFNMAP) as a default behavior.

queue_pages_range() does page table walking in its own way now, but there
is some code duplicate. This patch applies page table walker to reduce
lines of code.
queue_pages_range() has to do some precheck to determine whether we really
walk over the vma or just skip it. Now we have test_walk() callback in
mm_walk for this purpose, so we can do this replacement cleanly.
queue_pages_test_walk() depends on not only the current vma but also the
previous one, so queue_pages->prev is introduced to remember it.

The previous commit ("mm/thp: Allocate transparent hugepages on local
node") introduced alloc_hugepage_vma() to mm/mempolicy.c to perform a
special policy for THP allocations. The function has the same interface
as alloc_pages_vma(), shares a lot of boilerplate code and a long
comment.
This patch merges the hugepage special case into alloc_pages_vma. The
extra if condition should be cheap enough price to pay. We also prevent
a (however unlikely) race with parallel mems_allowed update, which could
make hugepage allocation restart only within the fallback call to
alloc_hugepage_vma() and not reconsider the special rule in
alloc_hugepage_vma().
Also by making sure mpol_cond_put(pol) is always called before actual
allocation attempt, we can use a single exit path within the function.
Also update the comment for missing node parameter and obsolete reference
to mm_sem.

This make sure that we try to allocate hugepages from local node if
allowed by mempolicy. If we can't, we fallback to small page allocation
based on mempolicy. This is based on the observation that allocating
pages on local node is more beneficial than allocating hugepages on remote
node.
With this patch applied we may find transparent huge page allocation
failures if the current node doesn't have enough freee hugepages. Before
this patch such failures result in us retrying the allocation on other
nodes in the numa node mask.

get_task_policy() is cheap but still this does not look clean, plus
the code looks simpler if get_task_policy() is called only when this

Note: I hope this is correct, but it is not clear why vma_policy_mof()

The cause is that cpuset_mems_allowed() try to take
mutex_lock(&callback_mutex) under the rcu_read_lock(which was hold in
__mpol_dup()). And in cpuset_mems_allowed(), the access to cpuset is
under rcu_read_lock, so in __mpol_dup, we can reduce the rcu_read_lock
protection region to protect the access to cpuset only in
current_cpuset_is_being_rebound(). So that we can avoid this bug.
This patch is a temporary solution that just addresses the bug
mentioned above, can not fix the long-standing issue about cpuset.mems
rebinding on fork():
"When the forker's task_struct is duplicated (which includes
->mems_allowed) and it races with an update to cpuset_being_rebound
in update_tasks_nodemask() then the task's mems_allowed doesn't get
updated. And the child task's mems_allowed can be wrong if the
cpuset's nodemask changes before the child has been added to the
cgroup's tasklist."

In v2.6.34 commit 9d8cebd4bc ("mm: fix mbind vma merge problem")
introduced vma merging to mbind(), but it should have also changed the
convention of passing start vma from queue_pages_range() (formerly
check_range()) to new_vma_page(): vma merging may have already freed
that structure, resulting in BUG at mm/mempolicy.c:1738 and probably
worse crashes.

Now that 3.15 is released, this merges the 'next' branch into 'master',
bringing us to the normal situation where my 'master' branch is the
merge window.
* accumulated work in next: (6809 commits)
ufs: sb mutex merge + mutex_destroy
powerpc: update comments for generic idle conversion
cris: update comments for generic idle conversion
idle: remove cpu_idle() forward declarations
nbd: zero from and len fields in NBD_CMD_DISCONNECT.
mm: convert some level-less printks to pr_*
MAINTAINERS: adi-buildroot-devel is moderated
MAINTAINERS: add linux-api for review of API/ABI changes
mm/kmemleak-test.c: use pr_fmt for logging
fs/dlm/debug_fs.c: replace seq_printf by seq_puts
fs/dlm/lockspace.c: convert simple_str to kstr
fs/dlm/config.c: convert simple_str to kstr
mm: mark remap_file_pages() syscall as deprecated
mm: memcontrol: remove unnecessary memcg argument from soft limit functions
mm: memcontrol: clean up memcg zoneinfo lookup
mm/memblock.c: call kmemleak directly from memblock_(alloc|free)
mm/mempool.c: update the kmemleak stack trace for mempool allocations
lib/radix-tree.c: update the kmemleak stack trace for radix tree allocations
mm: introduce kmemleak_update_trace()
mm/kmemleak.c: use %u to print ->checksum
...
printk is meant to be used with an associated log level. There are some
instances of printk scattered around the mm code where the log level is
missing. Add a log level and adhere to suggestions by
scripts/checkpatch.pl by moving to the pr_* macros.
Also add the typical pr_fmt definition so that print statements can be
easily traced back to the modules where they occur, correlated one with
another, etc. This will require the removal of some (now redundant)
prefixes on a few print statements.

The age table walker doesn't check non-present hugetlb entry in common
path, so hugetlb_entry() callbacks must check it. The reason for this
behavior is that some callers want to handle it in its own way.
[ I think that reason is bogus, btw - it should just do what the regular
code does, which is to call the "pte_hole()" function for such hugetlb
entries - Linus]
However, some callers don't check it now, which causes unpredictable
result, for example when we have a race between migrating hugepage and
reading /proc/pid/numa_maps. This patch fixes it by adding !pte_present
checks on buggy callbacks.
This bug exists for years and got visible by introducing hugepage
migration.
ChangeLog v2:
- fix if condition (check !pte_present() instead of pte_present())

Memory migration uses a callback defined by the caller to determine how to
allocate destination pages. When migration fails for a source page,
however, it frees the destination page back to the system.
This patch adds a memory migration callback defined by the caller to
determine how to free destination pages. If a caller, such as memory
compaction, builds its own freelist for migration targets, this can reuse
already freed memory instead of scanning additional memory.
If the caller provides a function to handle freeing of destination pages,
it is called when page migration fails. If the caller passes NULL then
freeing back to the system will be handled as usual. This patch
introduces no functional change.

PF_MEMPOLICY is an unnecessary optimization for CONFIG_SLAB users.
There's no significant performance degradation to checking
current->mempolicy rather than current->flags & PF_MEMPOLICY in the
allocation path, especially since this is considered unlikely().

Per-process flags are a scarce resource so we should free them up whenever
possible and make them available. We'll be using it shortly for memcg oom
reserves.

slab_node() is actually a mempolicy function, so rename it to
mempolicy_slab_node() to make it clearer that it used for processes with
mempolicies.
At the same time, cleanup its code by saving numa_mem_id() in a local
variable (since we require a node with memory, not just any node) and
remove an obsolete comment that assumes the mempolicy is actually passed
into the function.
