Since the introduction of FAULT_FLAG_SIZE to the vm_fault flag, it has
been somewhat painful with getting the flags set and removed at the
correct locations. More than one kernel oops was introduced due to
difficulties of getting the placement correctly.
Remove the flag values and introduce an input parameter to huge_fault
that indicates the size of the page entry. This makes the code easier
to trace and should avoid the issues we see with the fault flags where
removal of the flag was necessary in the fallback paths.

Patch series "1G transparent hugepage support for device dax", v2.
The following series implements support for 1G trasparent hugepage on
x86 for device dax. The bulk of the code was written by Mathew Wilcox a
while back supporting transparent 1G hugepage for fs DAX. I have
forward ported the relevant bits to 4.10-rc. The current submission has
only the necessary code to support device DAX.
Comments from Dan Williams: So the motivation and intended user of this
functionality mirrors the motivation and users of 1GB page support in
hugetlbfs. Given expected capacities of persistent memory devices an
in-memory database may want to reduce tlb pressure beyond what they can
already achieve with 2MB mappings of a device-dax file. We have
customer feedback to that effect as Willy mentioned in his previous
version of these patches [1].
[1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/31/52
Comments from Nilesh @ Oracle:
There are applications which have a process model; and if you assume
10,000 processes attempting to mmap all the 6TB memory available on a
server; we are looking at the following:
processes : 10,000
memory : 6TB
pte @ 4k page size: 8 bytes / 4K of memory * #processes = 6TB / 4k * 8 * 10000 = 1.5GB * 80000 = 120,000GB
pmd @ 2M page size: 120,000 / 512 = ~240GB
pud @ 1G page size: 240GB / 512 = ~480MB
As you can see with 2M pages, this system will use up an exorbitant
amount of DRAM to hold the page tables; but the 1G pages finally brings
it down to a reasonable level. Memory sizes will keep increasing; so
this number will keep increasing.
An argument can be made to convert the applications from process model
to thread model, but in the real world that may not be always practical.
Hopefully this helps explain the use case where this is valuable.
This patch (of 3):
In preparation for adding the ability to handle PUD pages, convert
vm_operations_struct.pmd_fault to vm_operations_struct.huge_fault. The
vm_fault structure is extended to include a union of the different page
table pointers that may be needed, and three flag bits are reserved to
indicate which type of pointer is in the union.

Instead of passing in multiple parameters in the pmd_fault() handler,
a vmf can be passed in just like a fault() handler. This will simplify
code and remove the need for the actual pmd fault handlers to allocate a
vmf. Related functions are also modified to do the same.

Tracepoints are the standard way to capture debugging and tracing
information in many parts of the kernel, including the XFS and ext4
filesystems. Create a tracepoint header for FS DAX and add the first DAX
tracepoints to the PMD fault handler. This allows the tracing for DAX to
be done in the same way as the filesystem tracing so that developers can
look at them together and get a coherent idea of what the system is doing.
I added both an entry and exit tracepoint because future patches will add
tracepoints to child functions of dax_iomap_pmd_fault() like
dax_pmd_load_hole() and dax_pmd_insert_mapping(). We want those messages
to be wrapped by the parent function tracepoints so the code flow is more
easily understood. Having entry and exit tracepoints for faults also
allows us to easily see what filesystems functions were called during the
fault. These filesystem functions get executed via iomap_begin() and
iomap_end() calls, for example, and will have their own tracepoints.
For PMD faults we primarily want to understand the type of mapping, the
fault flags, the faulting address and whether it fell back to 4k faults.
If it fell back to 4k faults the tracepoints should let us understand why.
I named the new tracepoint header file "fs_dax.h" to allow for device DAX
to have its own separate tracing header in the same directory at some
point.
Here is an example output for these events from a successful PMD fault:

the oom victim has access to all memory reserves to make a forward
progress to exit easier. But iomap_file_buffered_write and other
callers of iomap_apply loop to complete the full request. We need to
check for fatal signals and back off with a short write instead.
As the iomap_apply delegates all the work down to the actor we have to
hook into those. All callers that work with the page cache are calling
iomap_write_begin so we will check for signals there. dax_iomap_actor
has to handle the situation explicitly because it copies data to the
userspace directly. Other callers like iomap_page_mkwrite work on a
single page or iomap_fiemap_actor do not allocate memory based on the
given len.

Currently dax_mapping_entry_mkclean() fails to clean and write protect
the pmd_t of a DAX PMD entry during an *sync operation. This can result
in data loss in the following sequence:
1) mmap write to DAX PMD, dirtying PMD radix tree entry and making the
pmd_t dirty and writeable
2) fsync, flushing out PMD data and cleaning the radix tree entry. We
currently fail to mark the pmd_t as clean and write protected.
3) more mmap writes to the PMD. These don't cause any page faults since
the pmd_t is dirty and writeable. The radix tree entry remains clean.
4) fsync, which fails to flush the dirty PMD data because the radix tree
entry was clean.
5) crash - dirty data that should have been fsync'd as part of 4) could
still have been in the processor cache, and is lost.
Fix this by marking the pmd_t clean and write protected in
dax_mapping_entry_mkclean(), which is called as part of the fsync
operation 2). This will cause the writes in step 3) above to generate
page faults where we'll re-dirty the PMD radix tree entry, resulting in

Currently ->iomap_begin() handler is called with entry lock held. If the
filesystem held any locks between ->iomap_begin() and ->iomap_end()
(such as ext4 which will want to hold transaction open), this would cause
lock inversion with the iomap_apply() from standard IO path which first
calls ->iomap_begin() and only then calls ->actor() callback which grabs
entry locks for DAX (if it faults when copying from/to user provided
buffers).
Fix the problem by nesting grabbing of entry lock inside ->iomap_begin()
- ->iomap_end() pair.

Currently dax_iomap_rw() takes care of invalidating page tables and
evicting hole pages from the radix tree when write(2) to the file
happens. This invalidation is only necessary when there is some block
allocation resulting from write(2). Furthermore in current place the
invalidation is racy wrt page fault instantiating a hole page just after
we have invalidated it.
So perform the page invalidation inside dax_iomap_actor() where we can
do it only when really necessary and after blocks have been allocated so
nobody will be instantiating new hole pages anymore.

Currently invalidate_inode_pages2_range() and invalidate_mapping_pages()
just delete all exceptional radix tree entries they find. For DAX this
is not desirable as we track cache dirtiness in these entries and when
they are evicted, we may not flush caches although it is necessary. This
can for example manifest when we write to the same block both via mmap
and via write(2) (to different offsets) and fsync(2) then does not
properly flush CPU caches when modification via write(2) was the last
one.
Create appropriate DAX functions to handle invalidation of DAX entries
for invalidate_inode_pages2_range() and invalidate_mapping_pages() and

The way the page cache is sneaking shadow entries of evicted pages into
the radix tree past the node entry accounting and tracking them manually
in the upper bits of node->count is fraught with problems.
These shadow entries are marked in the tree as exceptional entries,
which are a native concept to the radix tree. Maintain an explicit
counter of exceptional entries in the radix tree node. Subsequent
patches will switch shadow entry tracking over to that counter.
DAX and shmem are the other users of exceptional entries. Since slot
replacements that change the entry type from regular to exceptional must
now be accounted, introduce a __radix_tree_replace() function that does
replacement and accounting, and switch DAX and shmem over.
The increase in radix tree node size is temporary. A followup patch
switches the shadow tracking to this new scheme and we'll no longer need
the upper bits in node->count and shrink that back to one byte.

DAX PMDs have been disabled since Jan Kara introduced DAX radix tree based
locking. This patch allows DAX PMDs to participate in the DAX radix tree
based locking scheme so that they can be re-enabled using the new struct
iomap based fault handlers.
There are currently three types of DAX 4k entries: 4k zero pages, 4k DAX
mappings that have an associated block allocation, and 4k DAX empty
entries. The empty entries exist to provide locking for the duration of a
given page fault.
This patch adds three equivalent 2MiB DAX entries: Huge Zero Page (HZP)
entries, PMD DAX entries that have associated block allocations, and 2 MiB
DAX empty entries.
Unlike the 4k case where we insert a struct page* into the radix tree for
4k zero pages, for HZP we insert a DAX exceptional entry with the new
RADIX_DAX_HZP flag set. This is because we use a single 2 MiB zero page in
every 2MiB hole mapping, and it doesn't make sense to have that same struct
page* with multiple entries in multiple trees. This would cause contention
on the single page lock for the one Huge Zero Page, and it would break the
page->index and page->mapping associations that are assumed to be valid in
many other places in the kernel.
One difficult use case is when one thread is trying to use 4k entries in
radix tree for a given offset, and another thread is using 2 MiB entries
for that same offset. The current code handles this by making the 2 MiB
user fall back to 4k entries for most cases. This was done because it is
the simplest solution, and because the use of 2MiB pages is already
opportunistic.
If we were to try to upgrade from 4k pages to 2MiB pages for a given range,
we run into the problem of how we lock out 4k page faults for the entire
2MiB range while we clean out the radix tree so we can insert the 2MiB
entry. We can solve this problem if we need to, but I think that the cases
where both 2MiB entries and 4K entries are being used for the same range
will be rare enough and the gain small enough that it probably won't be
worth the complexity.

This works for PTEs, but as we move to PMDs we will need to have all the
offsets within the range covered by the PMD to map to the same bit lock.
To accomplish this, for ranges covered by a PMD entry we will instead lock
based on the page offset of the beginning of the PMD entry. The 'mapping'

The global zero page is used to satisfy an anonymous read fault. If
THP(Transparent HugePage) is enabled then the global huge zero page is
used. The global huge zero page uses an atomic counter for reference
counting and is allocated/freed dynamically according to its counter
value.
CPU time spent on that counter will greatly increase if there are a lot
of processes doing anonymous read faults. This patch proposes a way to
reduce the access to the global counter so that the CPU load can be
reduced accordingly.
To do this, a new flag of the mm_struct is introduced:
MMF_USED_HUGE_ZERO_PAGE. With this flag, the process only need to touch
the global counter in two cases:
1 The first time it uses the global huge zero page;
2 The time when mm_user of its mm_struct reaches zero.
Note that right now, the huge zero page is eligible to be freed as soon
as its last use goes away. With this patch, the page will not be
eligible to be freed until the exit of the last process from which it
was ever used.
And with the use of mm_user, the kthread is not eligible to use huge
zero page either. Since no kthread is using huge zero page today, there
is no difference after applying this patch. But if that is not desired,
I can change it to when mm_count reaches zero.
Case used for test on Haswell EP:
usemem -n 72 --readonly -j 0x200000 100G
Which spawns 72 processes and each will mmap 100G anonymous space and
then do read only access to that space sequentially with a step of 2MB.

This is a much simpler implementation of the DAX read/write path
that makes use of the iomap infrastructure. It does not try to
mirror the direct I/O calling conventions and thus doesn't have to
deal with i_dio_count or the end_io handler, but instead leaves
locking and filesystem-specific I/O completion to the caller.

This way we can use this helper for the iomap based DAX implementation
as well.

1/ Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing:
The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is
deprecated. Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement either
ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm. ADR
(Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers to the
memory controller on a power-fail event. Flush addresses are defined in
ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure:
"Flush Hint Address Structure". A flush hint is an mmio address that
when written and fenced assures that all previous posted writes
targeting a given dimm have been flushed to media.
2/ On-demand ARS (address range scrub):
Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
in pmem devices. When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the media
to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a re-scrub at
any time.
3/ Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command format.
4/ Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.
5/ Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.
