Some applications or containers want to use KSM by calling madvise() to
advise areas of address space to be MERGEABLE. But they may not know
which applications are more likely to cause real merges in the
deployment. If this patch is applied, it helps them know their
corresponding number of merged pages, and then optimize their app code.
As current KSM only counts the number of KSM merging pages(e.g.
ksm_pages_sharing and ksm_pages_shared) of the whole system, we cannot see
the more fine-grained KSM merging, for the upper application optimization,
the merging area cannot be set easily according to the KSM page merging
probability of each process. Therefore, it is necessary to add extra
statistical means so that the upper level users can know the detailed KSM
merging information of each process.
We add a new proc file named as ksm_merging_pages under /proc/<pid>/ to
indicate the involved ksm merging pages of this process.

Currently memmap_init_zone_device() ends up initializing 32768 pages when
it only needs to initialize 128 given tail page reuse. That number is
worse with 1GB compound pages, 262144 instead of 128. Update
memmap_init_zone_device() to skip redundant initialization, detailed
below.
When a pgmap @vmemmap_shift is set, all pages are mapped at a given huge
page alignment and use compound pages to describe them as opposed to a
struct per 4K.
With @vmemmap_shift > 0 and when struct pages are stored in ram (!altmap)
most tail pages are reused. Consequently, the amount of unique struct
pages is a lot smaller than the total amount of struct pages being mapped.
The altmap path is left alone since it does not support memory savings
based on compound pages devmap.

A compound devmap is a dev_pagemap with @vmemmap_shift > 0 and it means
that pages are mapped at a given huge page alignment and utilize uses
compound pages as opposed to order-0 pages.
Take advantage of the fact that most tail pages look the same (except the
first two) to minimize struct page overhead. Allocate a separate page for
the vmemmap area which contains the head page and separate for the next 64
pages. The rest of the subsections then reuse this tail vmemmap page to
initialize the rest of the tail pages.
Sections are arch-dependent (e.g. on x86 it's 64M, 128M or 512M) and when
initializing compound devmap with big enough @vmemmap_shift (e.g. 1G PUD)
it may cross multiple sections. The vmemmap code needs to consult @pgmap
so that multiple sections that all map the same tail data can refer back
to the first copy of that data for a given gigantic page.
On compound devmaps with 2M align, this mechanism lets 6 pages be saved
out of the 8 necessary PFNs necessary to set the subsection's 512 struct
pages being mapped. On a 1G compound devmap it saves 4094 pages.
Altmap isn't supported yet, given various restrictions in altmap pfn
allocator, thus fallback to the already in use vmemmap_populate(). It is
worth noting that altmap for devmap mappings was there to relieve the
pressure of inordinate amounts of memmap space to map terabytes of pmem.
With compound pages the motivation for altmaps for pmem gets reduced.

Patch series "sparse-vmemmap: memory savings for compound devmaps (device-dax)", v9.
This series minimizes 'struct page' overhead by pursuing a similar
approach as Muchun Song series "Free some vmemmap pages of hugetlb page"
(now merged since v5.14), but applied to devmap with @vmemmap_shift
(device-dax).
The vmemmap dedpulication original idea (already used in HugeTLB) is to
reuse/deduplicate tail page vmemmap areas, particular the area which only
describes tail pages. So a vmemmap page describes 64 struct pages, and
the first page for a given ZONE_DEVICE vmemmap would contain the head page
and 63 tail pages. The second vmemmap page would contain only tail pages,
and that's what gets reused across the rest of the subsection/section.
The bigger the page size, the bigger the savings (2M hpage -> save 6
vmemmap pages; 1G hpage -> save 4094 vmemmap pages).
This is done for PMEM /specifically only/ on device-dax configured
namespaces, not fsdax. In other words, a devmap with a @vmemmap_shift.
In terms of savings, per 1Tb of memory, the struct page cost would go down
with compound devmap:
* with 2M pages we lose 4G instead of 16G (0.39% instead of 1.5% of
total memory)
* with 1G pages we lose 40MB instead of 16G (0.0014% instead of 1.5% of
total memory)
The series is mostly summed up by patch 4, and to summarize what the
series does:
Patches 1 - 3: Minor cleanups in preparation for patch 4. Move the very
nice docs of hugetlb_vmemmap.c into a Documentation/vm/ entry.
Patch 4: Patch 4 is the one that takes care of the struct page savings
(also referred to here as tail-page/vmemmap deduplication). Much like
Muchun series, we reuse the second PTE tail page vmemmap areas across a
given @vmemmap_shift On important difference though, is that contrary to
the hugetlbfs series, there's no vmemmap for the area because we are
late-populating it as opposed to remapping a system-ram range. IOW no
freeing of pages of already initialized vmemmap like the case for
hugetlbfs, which greatly simplifies the logic (besides not being
arch-specific). altmap case unchanged and still goes via the
vmemmap_populate(). Also adjust the newly added docs to the device-dax
case.
[Note that device-dax is still a little behind HugeTLB in terms of
savings. I have an additional simple patch that reuses the head vmemmap
page too, as a follow-up. That will double the savings and namespaces
initialization.]
Patch 5: Initialize fewer struct pages depending on the page size with
DRAM backed struct pages -- because fewer pages are unique and most tail
pages (with bigger vmemmap_shift).
NVDIMM namespace bootstrap improves from ~268-358 ms to
~80-110/<1ms on 128G NVDIMMs with 2M and 1G respectivally. And struct
page needed capacity will be 3.8x / 1071x smaller for 2M and 1G
respectivelly. Tested on x86 with 1.5Tb of pmem (including pinning,
and RDMA registration/deregistration scalability with 2M MRs)
This patch (of 5):
In support of using compound pages for devmap mappings, plumb the pgmap
down to the vmemmap_populate implementation. Note that while altmap is
retrievable from pgmap the memory hotplug code passes altmap without
pgmap[*], so both need to be independently plumbed.
So in addition to @altmap, pass @pgmap to sparse section populate
functions namely:
sparse_add_section
section_activate
populate_section_memmap
__populate_section_memmap
Passing @pgmap allows __populate_section_memmap() to both fetch the
vmemmap_shift in which memmap metadata is created for and also to let
sparse-vmemmap fetch pgmap ranges to co-relate to a given section and pick
whether to just reuse tail pages from past onlined sections.
While at it, fix the kdoc for @altmap for sparse_add_section().

Patch series "mm/mmap: Drop arch_vm_get_page_prot() and arch_filter_pgprot()", v7.
protection_map[] is an array based construct that translates given
vm_flags combination. This array contains page protection map, which is
populated by the platform via [__S000 .. __S111] and [__P000 .. __P111]
exported macros. Primary usage for protection_map[] is for
vm_get_page_prot(), which is used to determine page protection value for a
given vm_flags. vm_get_page_prot() implementation, could again call
platform overrides arch_vm_get_page_prot() and arch_filter_pgprot(). Some
platforms override protection_map[] that was originally built with
__SXXX/__PXXX with different runtime values.
Currently there are multiple layers of abstraction i.e __SXXX/__PXXX
macros , protection_map[], arch_vm_get_page_prot() and
arch_filter_pgprot() built between the platform and generic MM, finally
defining vm_get_page_prot().
Hence this series proposes to drop later two abstraction levels and
instead just move the responsibility of defining vm_get_page_prot() to the
platform (still utilizing generic protection_map[] array) itself making it
clean and simple.
This first introduces ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT which enables the
platforms to define custom vm_get_page_prot(). This starts converting
platforms that define the overrides arch_filter_pgprot() or
arch_vm_get_page_prot() which enables for those constructs to be dropped
off completely.
The series has been inspired from an earlier discuss with Christoph Hellwig
https://lore.kernel.org/all/1632712920-8171-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/
This patch (of 7):
Add a new config ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT, which when subscribed enables
a given platform to define its own vm_get_page_prot() but still utilizing
the generic protection_map[] array.

free a large list of pages maybe cause rcu_sched starved on
non-preemptible kernels. howerver free_unref_page_list maybe can't
cond_resched as it maybe called in interrupt or atomic context, especially
can't detect atomic context in CONFIG_PREEMPTION=n.
The issue is detected in guest with kvm cpu 200% overcommit, however I
didn't see the warning in the host with the same application. I'm sure
that the patch is needed for guest kernel, but no sure for host.
To reproduce, set up two virtual machines in one host machine, per vm has
the same number cpu and half memory of host. the run ltpstress.sh in per
vm, then will see rcu stall warning.kernel is preempt disabled, append
kernel command 'preempt=none' if enable dynamic preempt . It could
