I observed that for each of the shared file-backed page faults, we're very
likely to retry one more time for the 1st write fault upon no page. It's
because we'll need to release the mmap lock for dirty rate limit purpose
with balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() (in fault_dirty_shared_page()).
Then after that throttling we return VM_FAULT_RETRY.
We did that probably because VM_FAULT_RETRY is the only way we can return
to the fault handler at that time telling it we've released the mmap lock.
However that's not ideal because it's very likely the fault does not need
to be retried at all since the pgtable was well installed before the
throttling, so the next continuous fault (including taking mmap read lock,
walk the pgtable, etc.) could be in most cases unnecessary.
It's not only slowing down page faults for shared file-backed, but also add
more mmap lock contention which is in most cases not needed at all.
To observe this, one could try to write to some shmem page and look at
"pgfault" value in /proc/vmstat, then we should expect 2 counts for each
shmem write simply because we retried, and vm event "pgfault" will capture
that.
To make it more efficient, add a new VM_FAULT_COMPLETED return code just to
show that we've completed the whole fault and released the lock. It's also
a hint that we should very possibly not need another fault immediately on
this page because we've just completed it.
This patch provides a ~12% perf boost on my aarch64 test VM with a simple
program sequentially dirtying 400MB shmem file being mmap()ed and these are
the time it needs:
Before: 650.980 ms (+-1.94%)
After: 569.396 ms (+-1.38%)
I believe it could help more than that.
We need some special care on GUP and the s390 pgfault handler (for gmap
code before returning from pgfault), the rest changes in the page fault
handlers should be relatively straightforward.
Another thing to mention is that mm_account_fault() does take this new
fault as a generic fault to be accounted, unlike VM_FAULT_RETRY.
I explicitly didn't touch hmm_vma_fault() and break_ksm() because they do
not handle VM_FAULT_RETRY even with existing code, so I'm literally keeping
them as-is.

We have had several reports [1][2][3] that page allocator blows up when an
allocation from a possible node is requested. The underlying reason is
that NODE_DATA for the specific node is not allocated.
NUMA specific initialization is arch specific and it can vary a lot. E.g.
x86 tries to initialize all nodes that have some cpu affinity (see
init_cpu_to_node) but this can be insufficient because the node might be
cpuless for example.
One way to address this problem would be to check for !node_online nodes
when trying to get a zonelist and silently fall back to another node.
That is unfortunately adding a branch into allocator hot path and it
doesn't handle any other potential NODE_DATA users.
This patch takes a different approach (following a lead of [3]) and it pre
allocates pgdat for all possible nodes in an arch indipendent code -
free_area_init. All uninitialized nodes are treated as memoryless nodes.
node_state of the node is not changed because that would lead to other
side effects - e.g. sysfs representation of such a node and from past
discussions [4] it is known that some tools might have problems digesting
that.
Newly allocated pgdat only gets a minimal initialization and the rest of
the work is expected to be done by the memory hotplug - hotadd_new_pgdat
(renamed to hotadd_init_pgdat).
generic_alloc_nodedata is changed to use the memblock allocator because
neither page nor slab allocators are available at the stage when all
pgdats are allocated. Hotplug doesn't allocate pgdat anymore so we can
use the early boot allocator. The only arch specific implementation is
ia64 and that is changed to use the early allocator as well.

Patch series "mm, memory_hotplug: handle unitialized numa node gracefully".
The core of the fix is patch 2 which also links existing bug reports. The
high level goal is to have all possible numa nodes have their pgdat
allocated and initialized so
for_each_possible_node(nid)
NODE_DATA(nid)
will never return garbage. This has proven to be problem in several
places when an offline numa node is used for an allocation just to realize
that node_data and therefore allocation fallback zonelists are not
initialized and such an allocation request blows up.
There were attempts to address that by checking node_online in several
places including the page allocator. This patchset approaches the problem
from a different perspective and instead of special casing, which just
adds a runtime overhead, it allocates pglist_data for each possible node.
This can add some memory overhead for platforms with high number of
possible nodes if they do not contain any memory. This should be a rather
rare configuration though.
How to test this? David has provided and excellent howto:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/6e5ebc19-890c-b6dd-1924-9f25c441010d@redhat.com
Patches 1 and 3-6 are mostly cleanups. The patchset has been reviewed by
Rafael (thanks!) and the core fix tested by Rafael and Alexey (thanks to
both). David has tested as per instructions above and hasn't found any
fallouts in the memory hotplug scenarios.
This patch (of 6):
This is a preparatory patch and it doesn't introduce any functional
change. It merely pulls out arch_alloc_nodedata (and co) outside of
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG because the following patch will need to call this
from the generic MM code.

Pull signal/exit/ptrace updates from Eric Biederman:
"This set of changes deletes some dead code, makes a lot of cleanups
which hopefully make the code easier to follow, and fixes bugs found
along the way.
The end-game which I have not yet reached yet is for fatal signals
that generate coredumps to be short-circuit deliverable from
complete_signal, for force_siginfo_to_task not to require changing
userspace configured signal delivery state, and for the ptrace stops
to always happen in locations where we can guarantee on all
architectures that the all of the registers are saved and available on
the stack.
Removal of profile_task_ext, profile_munmap, and profile_handoff_task
are the big successes for dead code removal this round.
A bunch of small bug fixes are included, as most of the issues
reported were small enough that they would not affect bisection so I
simply added the fixes and did not fold the fixes into the changes
they were fixing.
There was a bug that broke coredumps piped to systemd-coredump. I
dropped the change that caused that bug and replaced it entirely with
something much more restrained. Unfortunately that required some
rebasing.
Some successes after this set of changes: There are few enough calls
to do_exit to audit in a reasonable amount of time. The lifetime of
struct kthread now matches the lifetime of struct task, and the
pointer to struct kthread is no longer stored in set_child_tid. The
flag SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP is removed. The field group_exit_task is
removed. Issues where task->exit_code was examined with
signal->group_exit_code should been examined were fixed.
There are several loosely related changes included because I am
cleaning up and if I don't include them they will probably get lost.
The original postings of these changes can be found at:

...
There are two big uses of do_exit. The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call. The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.
Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure. In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.
Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.
As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

VMware observed a performance regression during memmap init on their
platform, and bisected to commit 73a6e474cb ("mm: memmap_init:
iterate over memblock regions rather that check each PFN") causing it.
Before the commit:
[0.033176] Normal zone: 1445888 pages used for memmap
[0.033176] Normal zone: 89391104 pages, LIFO batch:63
[0.035851] ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x448
With commit
[0.026874] Normal zone: 1445888 pages used for memmap
[0.026875] Normal zone: 89391104 pages, LIFO batch:63
[2.028450] ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x448
The root cause is the current memmap defer init doesn't work as expected.
Before, memmap_init_zone() was used to do memmap init of one whole zone,
to initialize all low zones of one numa node, but defer memmap init of
the last zone in that numa node. However, since commit 73a6e474cb,
function memmap_init() is adapted to iterater over memblock regions
inside one zone, then call memmap_init_zone() to do memmap init for each
region.
E.g, on VMware's system, the memory layout is as below, there are two
memory regions in node 2. The current code will mistakenly initialize the
whole 1st region [mem 0xab00000000-0xfcffffffff], then do memmap defer to
iniatialize only one memmory section on the 2nd region [mem
0x10000000000-0x1033fffffff]. In fact, we only expect to see that there's
only one memory section's memmap initialized. That's why more time is
costed at the time.
[ 0.008842] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x00000000-0x0009ffff]
[ 0.008842] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x00100000-0xbfffffff]
[ 0.008843] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x100000000-0x55ffffffff]
[ 0.008844] ACPI: SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 [mem 0x5600000000-0xaaffffffff]
[ 0.008844] ACPI: SRAT: Node 2 PXM 2 [mem 0xab00000000-0xfcffffffff]
[ 0.008845] ACPI: SRAT: Node 2 PXM 2 [mem 0x10000000000-0x1033fffffff]
Now, let's add a parameter 'zone_end_pfn' to memmap_init_zone() to pass
down the real zone end pfn so that defer_init() can use it to judge
whether defer need be taken in zone wide.

The same applies in the node's directory with a memory21 link in both
the node1 and node2's directory.
This is wrong but doesn't prevent the system to run. However when
later, one of these memory blocks is hot-unplugged and then hot-plugged,
the system is detecting an inconsistency in the sysfs layout and a
BUG_ON() is raised:

This has been seen on PowerPC LPAR.
The root cause of this issue is that when node's memory is registered,
the range used can overlap another node's range, thus the memory block
is registered to multiple nodes in sysfs.
There are two issues here:
(a) The sysfs memory and node's layouts are broken due to these
multiple links
(b) The link errors in link_mem_sections() should not lead to a system
panic.
To address (a) register_mem_sect_under_node should not rely on the
system state to detect whether the link operation is triggered by a hot
plug operation or not. This is addressed by the patches 1 and 2 of this
series.
Issue (b) will be addressed separately.
This patch (of 2):
The memmap_context enum is used to detect whether a memory operation is
due to a hot-add operation or happening at boot time.
Make it general to the hotplug operation and rename it as
meminit_context.
There is no functional change introduced by this patch

Add back a hook to optimize dcache flushing after reading executable
code using DMA. This gets ia64 out of the business of pretending to
be dma incoherent just for this optimization.

After removal of CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP we have two equivalent
functions that call memory_present() for each region in memblock.memory:
sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() and membocks_present().
Moreover, all architectures have a call to either of these functions
preceding the call to sparse_init() and in the most cases they are called
one after the other.
Mark the regions from memblock.memory as present during sparce_init() by
making sparse_init() call memblocks_present(), make memblocks_present()
and memory_present() functions static and remove redundant
sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() function.
Also remove no longer required HAVE_MEMORY_PRESENT configuration option.

Patch series "mm: cleanup usage of <asm/pgalloc.h>"
Most architectures have very similar versions of pXd_alloc_one() and
pXd_free_one() for intermediate levels of page table. These patches add
generic versions of these functions in <asm-generic/pgalloc.h> and enable
use of the generic functions where appropriate.
In addition, functions declared and defined in <asm/pgalloc.h> headers are
used mostly by core mm and early mm initialization in arch and there is no
actual reason to have the <asm/pgalloc.h> included all over the place.
The first patch in this series removes unneeded includes of
<asm/pgalloc.h>
In the end it didn't work out as neatly as I hoped and moving
pXd_alloc_track() definitions to <asm-generic/pgalloc.h> would require
unnecessary changes to arches that have custom page table allocations, so
I've decided to move lib/ioremap.c to mm/ and make pgalloc-track.h local
to mm/.
This patch (of 8):
In most cases <asm/pgalloc.h> header is required only for allocations of
page table memory. Most of the .c files that include that header do not
use symbols declared in <asm/pgalloc.h> and do not require that header.
As for the other header files that used to include <asm/pgalloc.h>, it is
possible to move that include into the .c file that actually uses symbols
from <asm/pgalloc.h> and drop the include from the header file.
The process was somewhat automated using
sed -i -E '/[<"]asm\/pgalloc\.h/d' \
$(grep -L -w -f /tmp/xx \
$(git grep -E -l '[<"]asm/pgalloc\.h'))
where /tmp/xx contains all the symbols defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgalloc.h.

Rename the mmap_sem field to mmap_lock. Any new uses of this lock should
now go through the new mmap locking api. The mmap_lock is still
implemented as a rwsem, though this could change in the future.

devm_memremap_pages() is currently used by the PCI P2PDMA code to create
struct page mappings for IO memory. At present, these mappings are
created with PAGE_KERNEL which implies setting the PAT bits to be WB.
However, on x86, an mtrr register will typically override this and force
the cache type to be UC-. In the case firmware doesn't set this
register it is effectively WB and will typically result in a machine
check exception when it's accessed.
Other arches are not currently likely to function correctly seeing they
don't have any MTRR registers to fall back on.
To solve this, provide a way to specify the pgprot value explicitly to
arch_add_memory().
Of the arches that support MEMORY_HOTPLUG: x86_64, and arm64 need a
simple change to pass the pgprot_t down to their respective functions
which set up the page tables. For x86_32, set the page tables
explicitly using _set_memory_prot() (seeing they are already mapped).
For ia64, s390 and sh, reject anything but PAGE_KERNEL settings -- this
should be fine, for now, seeing these architectures don't support
ZONE_DEVICE.
A check in __add_pages() is also added to ensure the pgprot parameter
was set for all arches.
