While adding proper userfaultfd_wp support with bits in pagetable and
swap entry to avoid false positives WP userfaults through swap/fork/
KSM/etc, I've been adding a framework that mostly mirrors soft dirty.
So I noticed in one place I had to add uffd_wp support to the pagetables
that wasn't covered by soft_dirty and I think it should have.
Example: in the THP migration code migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page()
pmd_mkdirty is called unconditionally after mk_huge_pmd.
entry = mk_huge_pmd(new_page, vma->vm_page_prot);
entry = maybe_pmd_mkwrite(pmd_mkdirty(entry), vma);
That sets soft dirty too (it's a false positive for soft dirty, the soft
dirty bit could be more finegrained and transfer the bit like uffd_wp
will do.. pmd/pte_uffd_wp() enforces the invariant that when it's set
pmd/pte_write is not set).
However in the THP split there's no unconditional pmd_mkdirty after
mk_huge_pmd and pte_swp_mksoft_dirty isn't called after the migration
entry is created. The code sets the dirty bit in the struct page
instead of setting it in the pagetable (which is fully equivalent as far
as the real dirty bit is concerned, as the whole point of pagetable bits
is to be eventually flushed out of to the page, but that is not
equivalent for the soft-dirty bit that gets lost in translation).
This was found by code review only and totally untested as I'm working
to actually replace soft dirty and I don't have time to test potential
soft dirty bugfixes as well :).
Transfer the soft_dirty from pmd to pte during THP splits.
This fix avoids losing the soft_dirty bit and avoids userland memory
corruption in the checkpoint.

After the previous patch, we can distinguish costly allocations that
should be really lightweight, such as THP page faults, with
__GFP_NORETRY. This means we don't need to recognize khugepaged
allocations via PF_KTHREAD anymore. We can also change THP page faults
in areas where madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) was used to try as hard as
khugepaged, as the process has indicated that it benefits from THP's and
is willing to pay some initial latency costs.
We can also make the flags handling less cryptic by distinguishing
GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT (no reclaim at all, default mode in page fault) from
GFP_TRANSHUGE (only direct reclaim, khugepaged default). Adding
__GFP_NORETRY or __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM is done where needed.
The patch effectively changes the current GFP_TRANSHUGE users as
follows:
* get_huge_zero_page() - the zero page lifetime should be relatively
long and it's shared by multiple users, so it's worth spending some
effort on it. We use GFP_TRANSHUGE, and __GFP_NORETRY is not added.
This also restores direct reclaim to this allocation, which was
unintentionally removed by commit e4a49efe4e7e ("mm: thp: set THP defrag
by default to madvise and add a stall-free defrag option")
* alloc_hugepage_khugepaged_gfpmask() - this is khugepaged, so latency
is not an issue. So if khugepaged "defrag" is enabled (the default), do
reclaim via GFP_TRANSHUGE without __GFP_NORETRY. We can remove the
PF_KTHREAD check from page alloc.
As a side-effect, khugepaged will now no longer check if the initial
compaction was deferred or contended. This is OK, as khugepaged sleep
times between collapsion attempts are long enough to prevent noticeable
disruption, so we should allow it to spend some effort.
* migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() - already was masking out
__GFP_RECLAIM, so just convert to GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT which is
equivalent.
* alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask() - vma's with VM_HUGEPAGE (via madvise)
are now allocating without __GFP_NORETRY. Other vma's keep using
__GFP_NORETRY if direct reclaim/compaction is at all allowed (by default
it's allowed only for madvised vma's). The rest is conversion to
GFP_TRANSHUGE(_LIGHT).

There are now a number of accounting oddities such as mapped file pages
being accounted for on the node while the total number of file pages are
accounted on the zone. This can be coped with to some extent but it's
confusing so this patch moves the relevant file-based accounted. Due to
throttling logic in the page allocator for reliable OOM detection, it is
still necessary to track dirty and writeback pages on a per-zone basis.

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.

Node-based reclaim requires node-based LRUs and locking. This is a
preparation patch that just moves the lru_lock to the node so later
patches are easier to review. It is a mechanical change but note this
patch makes contention worse because the LRU lock is hotter and direct
reclaim and kswapd can contend on the same lock even when reclaiming
from different zones.

But Power makes use of deposited page table to address MMU quirk.

MADV_HUGEPAGE advise shmem to allocate huge page on page fault in the
VMA. It only has effect if the filesystem is mounted with huge=advise
or huge=within_size.
MADV_NOHUGEPAGE prevents hugepage from being allocated on page fault in

means, i.e. page fault into different mapping or write(2) into file.

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;

This patch adds new mount option "huge=". It can have following values:
- "always":
Attempt to allocate huge pages every time we need a new page;
- "never":
Do not allocate huge pages;
- "within_size":
Only allocate huge page if it will be fully within i_size.
Also respect fadvise()/madvise() hints;
- "advise:
Only allocate huge pages if requested with fadvise()/madvise();
Default is "never" for now.
"mount -o remount,huge= /mountpoint" works fine after mount: remounting
huge=never will not attempt to break up huge pages at all, just stop
more from being allocated.
No new config option: put this under CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, which
is the appropriate option to protect those who don't want the new bloat,
and with which we shall share some pmd code.
Prohibit the option when !CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, just as mpol is
invalid without CONFIG_NUMA (was hidden in mpol_parse_str(): make it
explicit).
Allow enabling THP only if the machine has_transparent_hugepage().
But what about Shmem with no user-visible mount? SysV SHM, memfds,
shared anonymous mmaps (of /dev/zero or MAP_ANONYMOUS), GPU drivers' DRM
objects, Ashmem. Though unlikely to suit all usages, provide sysfs knob
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled to experiment with
huge on those.
And allow shmem_enabled two further values:
- "deny":
For use in emergencies, to force the huge option off from
all mounts;
- "force":
Force the huge option on for all - very useful for testing;

Basic scheme is the same as for anon THP.
Main differences:
- File pages are on radix-tree, so we have head->_count offset by
HPAGE_PMD_NR. The count got distributed to small pages during split.
- mapping->tree_lock prevents non-lockless access to pages under split
over radix-tree;
- Lockless access is prevented by setting the head->_count to 0 during
split;
- After split, some pages can be beyond i_size. We drop them from
radix-tree.
- We don't setup migration entries. Just unmap pages. It helps
handling cases when i_size is in the middle of the page: no need
handle unmap pages beyond i_size manually.

copy_page_range() has a check for "Don't copy ptes where a page fault

We can simplify copy_huge_pmd() a bit by skipping file PMDs.
We don't map file private pages with PMDs, so they only can map page
cache. It's safe to skip them as they can be re-faulted later.

This patch makes swapin readahead to improve thp collapse rate. When
khugepaged scanned pages, there can be a few of the pages in swap area.
With the patch THP can collapse 4kB pages into a THP when there are up
to max_ptes_swap swap ptes in a 2MB range.
The patch was tested with a test program that allocates 400B of memory,
writes to it, and then sleeps. I force the system to swap out all.
Afterwards, the test program touches the area by writing, it skips a
page in each 20 pages of the area.
Without the patch, system did not swap in readahead. THP rate was %65
of the program of the memory, it did not change over time.
With this patch, after 10 minutes of waiting khugepaged had collapsed
%99 of the program's memory.

madvise_free_huge_pmd should return 0 if the fallback PTE operations are
required. In madvise_free_huge_pmd, if part pages of THP are discarded,
the THP will be split and fallback PTE operations should be used if
splitting succeeds. But the original code will make fallback PTE
operations skipped, after splitting succeeds. Fix that via make
madvise_free_huge_pmd return 0 after splitting successfully, so that the
fallback PTE operations will be done.

1/ Device DAX for persistent memory:
Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX
(CONFIG_FS_DAX). It allows memory ranges to be allocated and mapped
without need of an intervening file system. Device DAX is strict,
precise and predictable. Specifically this interface:
a) Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size
(pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time.
b) Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what fault
scenarios are supported.
Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also
targeted for exclusive allocations of performance/feature differentiated
memory ranges.
2/ Support for the HPE DSM (device specific method) command formats.
This enables management of these first generation devices until a
unified DSM specification materializes.
3/ Further ACPI 6.1 compliance with support for the common dimm
identifier format.
4/ Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.

The "Device DAX" core enables dax mappings of performance / feature
differentiated memory. An open mapping or file handle keeps the backing
struct device live, but new mappings are only possible while the device
is enabled. Faults are handled under rcu_read_lock to synchronize
with the enabled state of the device.
Similar to the filesystem-dax case the backing memory may optionally
have struct page entries. However, unlike fs-dax there is no support
for private mappings, or mappings that are not backed by media (see
use of zero-page in fs-dax).
Mappings are always guaranteed to match the alignment of the dax_region.
If the dax_region is configured to have a 2MB alignment, all mappings
are guaranteed to be backed by a pmd entry. Contrast this determinism
with the fs-dax case where pmd mappings are opportunistic. If userspace
attempts to force a misaligned mapping, the driver will fail the mmap
attempt. See dax_dev_check_vma() for other scenarios that are rejected,
like MAP_PRIVATE mappings.

If a large value is written to scan_sleep_millisecs, for example, that
period must lapse before khugepaged will wake up for periodic
collapsing.
If this value is tuned to 1 day, for example, and then re-tuned to its
default 10s, khugepaged will still wait for a day before scanning again.
This patch causes khugepaged to wakeup immediately when the value is
changed and then sleep until that value is rewritten or the new value
lapses.

Many developers already know that field for reference count of the
struct page is _count and atomic type. They would try to handle it
directly and this could break the purpose of page reference count
tracepoint. To prevent direct _count modification, this patch rename it
to _refcount and add warning message on the code. After that, developer
who need to handle reference count will find that field should not be
accessed directly.

This will provide fully accuracy to the mapcount calculation in the
write protect faults, so page pinning will not get broken by false
positive copy-on-writes.
total_mapcount() isn't the right calculation needed in
reuse_swap_page(), so this introduces a page_trans_huge_mapcount()
that is effectively the full accurate return value for page_mapcount()
if dealing with Transparent Hugepages, however we only use the
page_trans_huge_mapcount() during COW faults where it strictly needed,
due to its higher runtime cost.
This also provide at practical zero cost the total_mapcount
information which is needed to know if we can still relocate the page
anon_vma to the local vma. If page_trans_huge_mapcount() returns 1 we
can reuse the page no matter if it's a pte or a pmd_trans_huge
triggering the fault, but we can only relocate the page anon_vma to
the local vma->anon_vma if we're sure it's only this "vma" mapping the
whole THP physical range.
Kirill A. Shutemov discovered the problem with moving the page
anon_vma to the local vma->anon_vma in a previous version of this
patch and another problem in the way page_move_anon_rmap() was called.
Andrew Morton discovered that CONFIG_SWAP=n wouldn't build in a
previous version, because reuse_swap_page must be a macro to call
page_trans_huge_mapcount from swap.h, so this uses a macro again
instead of an inline function. With this change at least it's a less
dangerous usage than it was before, because "page" is used only once
now, while with the previous code reuse_swap_page(page++) would have
called page_mapcount on page+1 and it would have increased page twice
instead of just once.
Dean Luick noticed an uninitialized variable that could result in a
rmap inefficiency for the non-THP case in a previous version.
Mike Marciniszyn said:

Khugepaged detects own VMAs by checking vm_file and vm_ops but this way
it cannot distinguish private /dev/zero mappings from other special
mappings like /dev/hpet which has no vm_ops and popultes PTEs in mmap.
This fixes false-positive VM_BUG_ON and prevents installing THP where
they are not expected.

Andrea has found[1] a race condition on MMU-gather based TLB flush vs
split_huge_page() or shrinker which frees huge zero under us (patch 1/2
and 2/2 respectively).
With new THP refcounting, we don't need patch 1/2: mmu_gather keeps the
page pinned until flush is complete and the pin prevents the page from
being split under us.
We still need patch 2/2. This is simplified version of Andrea's patch.
We don't need fancy encoding.

split_huge_pmd() tries to munlock page with munlock_vma_page(). That

I don't think the deadlock is triggerable without split_huge_page()
simplifilcation patchset.
But munlock_vma_page() here is wrong: we want to munlock the page
unconditionally, no need in rmap lookup, that munlock_vma_page() does.
Let's use clear_page_mlock() instead. It can be called under ptl.

freeze_page() and unfreeze_page() helpers evolved in rather complex
beasts. It would be nice to cut complexity of this code.
This patch rewrites freeze_page() using standard try_to_unmap().
unfreeze_page() is rewritten with remove_migration_ptes().
The result is much simpler.
But the new variant is somewhat slower for PTE-mapped THPs. Current
helpers iterates over VMAs the compound page is mapped to, and then over
ptes within this VMA. New helpers iterates over small page, then over
VMA the small page mapped to, and only then find relevant pte.
We have short cut for PMD-mapped THP: we directly install migration
entries on PMD split.
I don't think the slowdown is critical, considering how much simpler
result is and that split_huge_page() is quite rare nowadays. It only
happens due memory pressure or migration.

Add support for two ttu_flags:
- TTU_SPLIT_HUGE_PMD would split PMD if it's there, before trying to
unmap page;
- TTU_RMAP_LOCKED indicates that caller holds relevant rmap lock;
Also, change rwc->done to !page_mapcount() instead of !page_mapped().
try_to_unmap() works on pte level, so we are really interested in the
mappedness of this small page rather than of the compound page it's a
part of.

The success of CMA allocation largely depends on the success of
migration and key factor of it is page reference count. Until now, page
reference is manipulated by direct calling atomic functions so we cannot
follow up who and where manipulate it. Then, it is hard to find actual
reason of CMA allocation failure. CMA allocation should be guaranteed
to succeed so finding offending place is really important.
In this patch, call sites where page reference is manipulated are
converted to introduced wrapper function. This is preparation step to
add tracepoint to each page reference manipulation function. With this
facility, we can easily find reason of CMA allocation failure. There is
no functional change in this patch.
In addition, this patch also converts reference read sites. It will
help a second step that renames page._count to something else and
prevents later attempt to direct access to it (Suggested by Andrew).

THP defrag is enabled by default to direct reclaim/compact but not wake
kswapd in the event of a THP allocation failure. The problem is that
THP allocation requests potentially enter reclaim/compaction. This
potentially incurs a severe stall that is not guaranteed to be offset by
reduced TLB misses. While there has been considerable effort to reduce
the impact of reclaim/compaction, it is still a high cost and workloads
that should fit in memory fail to do so. Specifically, a simple
anon/file streaming workload will enter direct reclaim on NUMA at least
even though the working set size is 80% of RAM. It's been years and
it's time to throw in the towel.
First, this patch defines THP defrag as follows;
madvise: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact if the application requests it
never: Neither reclaim/compact nor wake kswapd
defer: A failed allocation will wake kswapd/kcompactd
always: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact (historical behaviour)
khugepaged defrag will enter direct/reclaim but not wake kswapd.
Next it sets the default defrag option to be "madvise" to only enter
direct reclaim/compaction for applications that specifically requested
it.
Lastly, it removes a check from the page allocator slowpath that is
related to __GFP_THISNODE to allow "defer" to work. The callers that
really cares are slub/slab and they are updated accordingly. The slab
one may be surprising because it also corrects a comment as kswapd was
never woken up by that path.
This means that a THP fault will no longer stall for most applications
by default and the ideal for most users that get THP if they are
immediately available. There are still options for users that prefer a
stall at startup of a new application by either restoring historical
behaviour with "always" or pick a half-way point with "defer" where
kswapd does some of the work in the background and wakes kcompactd if
necessary. THP defrag for khugepaged remains enabled and will enter
direct/reclaim but no wakeup kswapd or kcompactd.
After this patch a THP allocation failure will quickly fallback and rely
on khugepaged to recover the situation at some time in the future. In
some cases, this will reduce THP usage but the benefit of THP is hard to
measure and not a universal win where as a stall to reclaim/compaction
is definitely measurable and can be painful.
The first test for this is using "usemem" to read a large file and write
a large anonymous mapping (to avoid the zero page) multiple times. The
total size of the mappings is 80% of RAM and the benchmark simply
measures how long it takes to complete. It uses multiple threads to see
if that is a factor. On UMA, the performance is almost identical so is
not reported but on NUMA, we see this

There is some kswapd activity but ftrace showed that the kswapd activity
was due to normal wakeups from 4K pages being allocated.
Compaction-related stalls and activity are almost eliminated.
I also tried the stutter benchmark. For this, I do not have figures for

This benchmark is trying to fault an anonymous mapping while there is a
heavy IO load -- a scenario that desktop users used to complain about
frequently. This shows a mix because the ideal case of mapping with THP
is not hit as often. However, note that 99% of the mappings complete
13.79% faster. The CPU usage here is particularly interesting

cost to kswapd, kcompactd and khugepaged where it belongs.
