Transparent Huge Pages are currently stored in i_pages as pointers to
consecutive subpages. This patch changes that to storing consecutive
pointers to the head page in preparation for storing huge pages more
efficiently in i_pages.
Large parts of this are "inspired" by Kirill's patch

The igrab() in shmem_unuse() looks good, but we forgot that it gives no
protection against concurrent unmounting: a point made by Konstantin
Khlebnikov eight years ago, and then fixed in 2.6.39 by 778dd893ae
("tmpfs: fix race between umount and swapoff"). The current 5.1-rc
swapoff is liable to hit "VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of tmpfs.
Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a nice day..." followed by GPF.
Once again, give up on using igrab(); but don't go back to making such
heavy-handed use of shmem_swaplist_mutex as last time: that would spoil
the new design, and I expect could deadlock inside shmem_swapin_page().
Instead, shmem_unuse() just raise a "stop_eviction" count in the shmem-
specific inode, and shmem_evict_inode() wait for that to go down to 0.
Call it "stop_eviction" rather than "swapoff_busy" because it can be put
to use for others later (huge tmpfs patches expect to use it).
That simplifies shmem_unuse(), protecting it from both unlink and
unmount; and in practice lets it locate all the swap in its first try.
But do not rely on that: there's still a theoretical case, when
shmem_writepage() might have been preempted after its get_swap_page(),
before making the swap entry visible to swapoff.

Swapfile "type" was passed all the way down to shmem_unuse_inode(), but
then forgotten from shmem_find_swap_entries(): with the result that
removing one swapfile would try to free up all the swap from shmem - no
problem when only one swapfile anyway, but counter-productive when more,
causing swapoff to be unnecessarily OOM-killed when it should succeed.

Android uses ashmem for sharing memory regions. We are looking forward
to migrating all usecases of ashmem to memfd so that we can possibly
remove the ashmem driver in the future from staging while also
benefiting from using memfd and contributing to it. Note staging
drivers are also not ABI and generally can be removed at anytime.
One of the main usecases Android has is the ability to create a region
and mmap it as writeable, then add protection against making any
"future" writes while keeping the existing already mmap'ed
writeable-region active. This allows us to implement a usecase where
receivers of the shared memory buffer can get a read-only view, while
the sender continues to write to the buffer. See CursorWindow
documentation in Android for more details:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/CursorWindow
This usecase cannot be implemented with the existing F_SEAL_WRITE seal.
To support the usecase, this patch adds a new F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seal
which prevents any future mmap and write syscalls from succeeding while
keeping the existing mmap active.
A better way to do F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seal was discussed [1] last week
where we don't need to modify core VFS structures to get the same
behavior of the seal. This solves several side-effects pointed by Andy.
self-tests are provided in later patch to verify the expected semantics.

This patch was initially posted by Kelley Nielsen. Reposting the patch
with all review comments addressed and with minor modifications and
optimizations. Also, folding in the fixes offered by Hugh Dickins and
Huang Ying. Tests were rerun and commit message updated with new
results.
try_to_unuse() is of quadratic complexity, with a lot of wasted effort.
It unuses swap entries one by one, potentially iterating over all the
page tables for all the processes in the system for each one.
This new proposed implementation of try_to_unuse simplifies its
complexity to linear. It iterates over the system's mms once, unusing
all the affected entries as it walks each set of page tables. It also
makes similar changes to shmem_unuse.
Improvement
swapoff was called on a swap partition containing about 6G of data, in a
VM(8cpu, 16G RAM), and calls to unuse_pte_range() were counted.
Present implementation....about 1200M calls(8min, avg 80% cpu util).
Prototype.................about 9.0K calls(3min, avg 5% cpu util).
Details
In shmem_unuse(), iterate over the shmem_swaplist and, for each
shmem_inode_info that contains a swap entry, pass it to
shmem_unuse_inode(), along with the swap type. In shmem_unuse_inode(),
iterate over its associated xarray, and store the index and value of
each swap entry in an array for passing to shmem_swapin_page() outside
of the RCU critical section.
In try_to_unuse(), instead of iterating over the entries in the type and
unusing them one by one, perhaps walking all the page tables for all the
processes for each one, iterate over the mmlist, making one pass. Pass
each mm to unuse_mm() to begin its page table walk, and during the walk,
unuse all the ptes that have backing store in the swap type received by
try_to_unuse(). After the walk, check the type for orphaned swap
entries with find_next_to_unuse(), and remove them from the swap cache.
If find_next_to_unuse() starts over at the beginning of the type, repeat
the check of the shmem_swaplist and the walk a maximum of three times.
Change unuse_mm() and the intervening walk functions down to
unuse_pte_range() to take the type as a parameter, and to iterate over
their entire range, calling the next function down on every iteration.
In unuse_pte_range(), make a swap entry from each pte in the range using
the passed in type. If it has backing store in the type, call
swapin_readahead() to retrieve the page and pass it to unuse_pte().
Pass the count of pages_to_unuse down the page table walks in
try_to_unuse(), and return from the walk when the desired number of
pages has been swapped back in.

tmpfs has a peculiarity of accounting hard links as if they were
separate inodes: so that when the number of inodes is limited, as it is
by default, a user cannot soak up an unlimited amount of unreclaimable
dcache memory just by repeatedly linking a file.
But when v3.11 added O_TMPFILE, and the ability to use linkat() on the
fd, we missed accommodating this new case in tmpfs: "df -i" shows that
an extra "inode" remains accounted after the file is unlinked and the fd
closed and the actual inode evicted. If a user repeatedly links
tmpfiles into a tmpfs, the limit will be hit (ENOSPC) even after they
are deleted.
Just skip the extra reservation from shmem_link() in this case: there's
a sense in which this first link of a tmpfile is then cheaper than a
hard link of another file, but the accounting works out, and there's
still good limiting, so no need to do anything more complicated.

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.

Huge tmpfs testing on a shortish file mapped into a pmd-rounded extent
hit shmem_evict_inode()'s WARN_ON(inode->i_blocks) followed by
clear_inode()'s BUG_ON(inode->i_data.nrpages) when the file was later
closed and unlinked.
khugepaged's collapse_shmem() was forgetting to update mapping->nrpages
on the rollback path, after it had added but then needs to undo some
holes.
There is indeed an irritating asymmetry between shmem_charge(), whose
callers want it to increment nrpages after successfully accounting
blocks, and shmem_uncharge(), when __delete_from_page_cache() already
decremented nrpages itself: oh well, just add a comment on that to them
both.
And shmem_recalc_inode() is supposed to be called when the accounting is
expected to be in balance (so it can deduce from imbalance that reclaim
discarded some pages): so change shmem_charge() to update nrpages
earlier (though it's rare for the difference to matter at all).

Set the page dirty if VM_WRITE is not set because in such case the pte
won't be marked dirty and the page would be reclaimed without writepage
(i.e. swapout in the shmem case).
This was found by source review. Most apps (certainly including QEMU)
only use UFFDIO_COPY on PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE mappings or the app can't
modify the memory in the first place. This is for correctness and it
could help the non cooperative use case to avoid unexpected data loss.

With MAP_PRIVATE: check the i_size after the PT lock before mapping

Patch series "userfaultfd shmem updates".
Jann found two bugs in the userfaultfd shmem MAP_SHARED backend: the
lack of the VM_MAYWRITE check and the lack of i_size checks.
Then looking into the above we also fixed the MAP_PRIVATE case.
Hugh by source review also found a data loss source if UFFDIO_COPY is
used on shmem MAP_SHARED PROT_READ mappings (the production usages
incidentally run with PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, so the data loss couldn't
happen in those production usages like with QEMU).
The whole patchset is marked for stable.
We verified QEMU postcopy live migration with guest running on shmem
MAP_PRIVATE run as well as before after the fix of shmem MAP_PRIVATE.
Regardless if it's shmem or hugetlbfs or MAP_PRIVATE or MAP_SHARED, QEMU
unconditionally invokes a punch hole if the guest mapping is filebacked
and a MADV_DONTNEED too (needed to get rid of the MAP_PRIVATE COWs and

swp_offset. We need to do so in shmem_replace_page() as well.
Hugh said:
"shmem_replace_page() has been wrong since the day I wrote it: good
enough to work on swap "type" 0, which is all most people ever use
(especially those few who need shmem_replace_page() at all), but
broken once there are any non-0 swp_type bits set in the higher order

Other filesystems such as ext4, f2fs and ubifs all return ENXIO when

man 2 lseek says

The i915 driver uses shmemfs to allocate backing storage for gem
objects. These shmemfs pages can be pinned (increased ref count) by
shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp(). When a lot of pages are pinned, vmscan
wastes a lot of time scanning these pinned pages. In some extreme case,
all pages in the inactive anon lru are pinned, and only the inactive
anon lru is scanned due to inactive_ratio, the system cannot swap and
invokes the oom-killer. Mark these pinned pages as unevictable to speed
up vmscan.
Export pagevec API check_move_unevictable_pages().

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.

get_seconds() is deprecated because it will lead to a 32-bit overflow in
2038 or 2106. We don't need the i_generation to be strictly monotonic
anyway, and other file systems like ext4 and xfs just use prandom_u32(),
so let's use the same one here.
If this is considered too slow, we could also use ktime_get_seconds() or
ktime_get_real_seconds() to keep the previous behavior. Both of these
return a time64_t and are not deprecated, but only return a unique value
once per second, and are predictable.

tmpfs uses the helper d_find_alias() to find a dentry from a decoded
inode, but d_find_alias() skips unhashed dentries, so unlinked files
cannot be decoded from a file handle.
This can be reproduced using xfstests test program open_by_handle:
$ open_by handle -c /tmp/testdir
$ open_by_handle -dk /tmp/testdir
open_by_handle(/tmp/testdir/file000000) returned 116 incorrectly on an unlinked open file!
To fix this, if d_find_alias() can't find a hashed alias, call
d_find_any_alias() to return an unhashed one.

Since tmpfs THP was supported in 4.8, hugetlbfs is not the only
filesystem with huge page support anymore. tmpfs can use huge page via
THP when mounting by "huge=" mount option.
When applications use huge page on hugetlbfs, it just need check the
filesystem magic number, but it is not enough for tmpfs. Make
stat.st_blksize return huge page size if it is mounted by appropriate
"huge=" option to give applications a hint to optimize the behavior with
THP.
Some applications may not do wisely with THP. For example, QEMU may
mmap file on non huge page aligned hint address with MAP_FIXED, which
results in no pages are PMD mapped even though THP is used. Some
applications may mmap file with non huge page aligned offset. Both
behaviors make THP pointless.
statfs.f_bsize still returns 4KB for tmpfs since THP could be split, and
it also may fallback to 4KB page silently if there is not enough huge
page. Furthermore, different f_bsize makes max_blocks and free_blocks
calculation harder but without too much benefit. Returning huge page
size via stat.st_blksize sounds good enough.
Since PUD size huge page for THP has not been supported, now it just
returns HPAGE_PMD_SIZE.
Hugh said:
: Sorry, I have no enthusiasm for this patch; but do I feel strongly
: enough to override you and everyone else to NAK it? No, I don't feel
: that strongly, maybe st_blksize isn't worth arguing over.
:
: We did look at struct stat when designing huge tmpfs, to see if there
: were any fields that should be adjusted for it; but concluded none.
: Yes, it would sometimes be nice to have a quickly accessible indicator
: for when tmpfs has been mounted huge (scanning /proc/mounts for options
: can be tiresome, agreed); but since tmpfs tries to supply huge (or not)
: pages transparently, no difference seemed right.
:
: So, because st_blksize is a not very useful field of struct stat, with
: "size" in the name, we're going to put HPAGE_PMD_SIZE in there instead
: of PAGE_SIZE, if the tmpfs was mounted with one of the huge "huge"
: options (force or always, okay; within_size or advise, not so much).
: Though HPAGE_PMD_SIZE is no more its "preferred I/O size" or "blocksize
: for file system I/O" than PAGE_SIZE was.
:
: Which we can expect to speed up some applications and disadvantage
: others, depending on how they interpret st_blksize: just like if we
: changed it in the same way on non-huge tmpfs. (Did I actually try
: changing st_blksize early on, and find it broke something? If so, I've
: now forgotten what, and a search through commit messages didn't find
: it; but I guess we'll find out soon enough.)
:
: If there were an mstat() syscall, returning a field "preferred
: alignment", then we could certainly agree to put HPAGE_PMD_SIZE in
: there; but in stat()'s st_blksize? And what happens when (in future)
: mm maps this or that hard-disk filesystem's blocks with a pmd mapping -
: should that filesystem then advertise a bigger st_blksize, despite the
: same disk layout as before? What happens with DAX?
:
: And this change is not going to help the QEMU suboptimality that
: brought you here (or does QEMU align mmaps according to st_blksize?).
: QEMU ought to work well with kernels without this change, and kernels
