Naoya Horiguchi f4c18e6f7b mm: check __PG_HWPOISON separately from PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_*
The race condition addressed in commit add05cecef ("mm: soft-offline:
don't free target page in successful page migration") was not closed
completely, because that can happen not only for soft-offline, but also
for hard-offline.  Consider that a slab page is about to be freed into
buddy pool, and then an uncorrected memory error hits the page just
after entering __free_one_page(), then VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page->flags &
PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP) is triggered, despite the fact that it's not
necessary because the data on the affected page is not consumed.

To solve it, this patch drops __PG_HWPOISON from page flag checks at
allocation/free time.  I think it's justified because __PG_HWPOISON
flags is defined to prevent the page from being reused, and setting it
outside the page's alloc-free cycle is a designed behavior (not a bug.)

For recent months, I was annoyed about BUG_ON when soft-offlined page
remains on lru cache list for a while, which is avoided by calling
put_page() instead of putback_lru_page() in page migration's success
path.  This means that this patch reverts a major change from commit
add05cecef about the new refcounting rule of soft-offlined pages, so
"reuse window" revives.  This will be closed by a subsequent patch.

Aneesh Kumar K.V 8809aa2d28 mm: clarify that the function operates on hugepage pte
We have confusing functions to clear pmd, pmd_clear_* and pmd_clear.  Add
_huge_ to pmdp_clear functions so that we are clear that they operate on
hugepage pte.

We don't bother about other functions like pmdp_set_wrprotect,
pmdp_clear_flush_young, because they operate on PTE bits and hence
indicate they are operating on hugepage ptes

Aneesh Kumar K.V 15a25b2ead mm/thp: split out pmd collapse flush into separate functions
Architectures like ppc64 [1] need to do special things while clearing pmd
before a collapse.  For them this operation is largely different from a
normal hugepage pte clear.  Hence add a separate function to clear pmd
before collapse.  After this patch pmdp_* functions operate only on
hugepage pte, and not on regular pmd_t values pointing to page table.

[1] ppc64 needs to invalidate all the normal page pte mappings we already
have inserted in the hardware hash page table.  But before doing that we
need to make sure there are no parallel hash page table insert going on.
So we need to do a kick_all_cpus_sync() before flushing the older hash
table entries.  By moving this to a separate function we capture these
details and mention how it is different from a hugepage pte clear.

This patch is a cleanup and only does code movement for clarity.  There
should not be any change in functionality.

Jiri Kosina cd09241121 thp: cleanup how khugepaged enters freezer
khugepaged_do_scan() checks in every iteration whether freezing(current)
is true, and in such case breaks out of the loop, which causes
try_to_freeze() to be called immediately afterwards in
khugepaged_wait_work().

If nothing else, this causes unnecessary freezing(current) test, and also
makes the way khugepaged enters freezer a bit less obvious than necessary.

Let's just try to freeze directly, instead of splitting it into two
(directly adjacent) phases.

Kirill A. Shutemov 79553da293 thp: cleanup khugepaged startup
Few trivial cleanups:

 - no need to call set_recommended_min_free_kbytes() from
   late_initcall() -- start_khugepaged() calls it;

 - no need to call set_recommended_min_free_kbytes() from
   start_khugepaged() if khugepaged is not started;

 - there isn't much point in running start_khugepaged() if we've just
   set transparent_hugepage_flags to zero;

 - start_khugepaged() is misnamed -- it also used to stop the thread;

set_recommended_min_free_kbytes() adjusts zone water marks to be suitable
for khugepaged. We avoid doing this if khugepaged is disabled, but don't
catch the case when khugepaged is failed to start.

Let's address this by checking khugepaged_thread instead of
khugepaged_enabled() in set_recommended_min_free_kbytes().
It's NULL if the kernel thread is stopped or failed to start.

Jason Low 4db0c3c298 mm: remove rest of ACCESS_ONCE() usages
We converted some of the usages of ACCESS_ONCE to READ_ONCE in the mm/
tree since it doesn't work reliably on non-scalar types.

This patch removes the rest of the usages of ACCESS_ONCE, and use the new
READ_ONCE API for the read accesses.  This makes things cleaner, instead
of using separate/multiple sets of APIs.

Michal Hocko 3b3636924d mm, memcg: sync allocation and memcg charge gfp flags for THP
memcg currently uses hardcoded GFP_TRANSHUGE gfp flags for all THP
charges.  THP allocations, however, might be using different flags
depending on /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/{,khugepaged/}defrag and
the current allocation context.

The primary difference is that defrag configured to "madvise" value will
clear __GFP_WAIT flag from the core gfp mask to make the allocation
lighter for all mappings which are not backed by VM_HUGEPAGE vmas.  If
memcg charge path ignores this fact we will get light allocation but the a
potential memcg reclaim would kill the whole point of the configuration.

Fix the mismatch by providing the same gfp mask used for the allocation to
the charge functions.  This is quite easy for all paths except for
hugepaged kernel thread with !CONFIG_NUMA which is doing a pre-allocation
long before the allocated page is used in collapse_huge_page via
khugepaged_alloc_page.  To prevent from cluttering the whole code path
from khugepaged_do_scan we simply return the current flags as per
khugepaged_defrag() value which might have changed since the
preallocation.  If somebody changed the value of the knob we would charge
differently but this shouldn't happen often and it is definitely not
critical because it would only lead to a reduced success rate of one-off
THP promotion.

David Rientjes 5265047ac3 mm, thp: really limit transparent hugepage allocation to local node
Commit 077fcf116c ("mm/thp: allocate transparent hugepages on local
node") restructured alloc_hugepage_vma() with the intent of only
allocating transparent hugepages locally when there was not an effective
interleave mempolicy.

alloc_pages_exact_node() does not limit the allocation to the single node,
however, but rather prefers it.  This is because __GFP_THISNODE is not set
which would cause the node-local nodemask to be passed.  Without it, only
a nodemask that prefers the local node is passed.

Fix this by passing __GFP_THISNODE and falling back to small pages when
the allocation fails.

Commit 9f1b868a13 ("mm: thp: khugepaged: add policy for finding target
node") suffers from a similar problem for khugepaged, which is also fixed.

Ebru Akagunduz ca0984caa8 mm: incorporate zero pages into transparent huge pages
This patch improves THP collapse rates, by allowing zero pages.

Currently THP can collapse 4kB pages into a THP when there are up to
khugepaged_max_ptes_none pte_none ptes in a 2MB range.  This patch counts
pte none and mapped zero pages with the same variable.

The patch was tested with a program that allocates 800MB of
memory, and performs interleaved reads and writes, in a pattern
that causes some 2MB areas to first see read accesses, resulting
in the zero pfn being mapped there.

To simulate memory fragmentation at allocation time, I modified
do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page to return VM_FAULT_FALLBACK for read faults.

Without the patch, only %50 of the program was collapsed into THP and the
percentage did not increase over time.

With this patch after 10 minutes of waiting khugepaged had collapsed %99
of the program's memory.

FOLL_MLOCK to FOLL_POPULATE.

Base PTEs are marked young when the NUMA hinting information is cleared
but the same does not happen for huge pages which this patch addresses.

Note that migrated pages are not marked young as the base page migration
code does not assume that migrated pages have been referenced.  This
could be addressed but beyond the scope of this series which is aimed at
Dave Chinners shrink workload that is unlikely to be affected by this

Dave Chinner reported the following on https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/1/226

  Across the board the 4.0-rc1 numbers are much slower, and the degradation
  is far worse when using the large memory footprint configs. Perf points
  straight at the cause - this is from 4.0-rc1 on the "-o bhash=101073" config:

This is showing excessive migration activity even though excessive
migrations are meant to get throttled.  Normally, the scan rate is tuned
on a per-task basis depending on the locality of faults.  However, if
migrations fail for any reason then the PTE scanner may scan faster if
the faults continue to be remote.  This means there is higher system CPU
overhead and fault trapping at exactly the time we know that migrations
cannot happen.  This patch tracks when migration failures occur and
slows the PTE scanner.

minor faults trapped during the basis balancing benchmark and the system

to rewalk the page tables after a hinting fault but it was more complex
than this approach and the performance was worse.  It's not generally
safe to just mark the page writable during the fault if it's a write
fault as it may have been read-only for COW so that approach was
discarded.

Chinner reported was problematic in 4.0-rc1 due to changes in page table

Overall the system CPU usage is comparable and the test is naturally a
bit variable.  The slowing of the scanner hurts numa01 but on this
machine it is an adverse workload and patches that dramatically help it
often hurt absolutely everything else.

Due to patch 2, the fault activity is interesting

Here the impact of slowing the PTE scanner on migratrion failures is
obvious as "NUMA base PTE updates" and "NUMA huge PMD updates" are
massively reduced even though the headline performance is very similar.

As xfsrepair was the reported workload here is the impact of the series
on it.

The really relevant lines as syst-xfsrepair which is the system CPU
usage when running xfsrepair.  Note that on my machine the overhead was
45% higher on 4.0-rc4 which may be part of what Dave is seeing.  Once we
preserve the write bit across faults, it's only 2.51% higher on average.
With the full series applied, system CPU usage is 24.6% lower on
average.

Again, the impact of preserving the write bit on minor faults is obvious
and the impact of slowing scanning after migration failures is obvious
on the PTE updates.  Note also that the number of pages migrated is much
reduced even though the headline performance is comparable.

FWIW, I also checked SPECjbb in different configurations but it's
similar observations -- minor faults lower, PTE update activity lower
and performance is roughly comparable against 3.19.

This patch (of 3):

Threads that share writable data within pages are grouped together as
related tasks.  This decision is based on whether the PTE is marked
dirty which is subject to timing races between the PTE scanner update
and when the application writes the page.  If the page is file-backed,
then background flushes and sync also affect placement.  This is
unpredictable behaviour which is impossible to reason about so this
patch makes grouping decisions based on the VMA flags.

The wrong value is being returned by change_huge_pmd since commit
10c1045f28 ("mm: numa: avoid unnecessary TLB flushes when setting
NUMA hinting entries") which allows a fallthrough that tries to adjust
non-existent PTEs. This patch corrects it.

Linus Torvalds 53da3bc2ba mm: fix up numa read-only thread grouping logic
Dave Chinner reported that commit 4d94246699 ("mm: convert
p[te|md]_mknonnuma and remaining page table manipulations") slowed down
his xfsrepair test enormously.  In particular, it was using more system
time due to extra TLB flushing.

The ultimate reason turns out to be how the change to use the regular
page table accessor functions broke the NUMA grouping logic.  The old
special mknuma/mknonnuma code accessed the page table present bit and
the magic NUMA bit directly, while the new code just changes the page
protections using PROT_NONE and the regular vma protections.

That sounds equivalent, and from a fault standpoint it really is, but a
subtle side effect is that the *other* protection bits of the page table
entries also change.  And the code to decide how to group the NUMA
entries together used the writable bit to decide whether a particular
page was likely to be shared read-only or not.

And with the change to make the NUMA handling use the regular permission
setting functions, that writable bit was basically always cleared for
private mappings due to COW.  So even if the page actually ends up being
written to in the end, the NUMA balancing would act as if it was always
shared RO.

This code is a heuristic anyway, so the fix - at least for now - is to
instead check whether the page is dirty rather than writable.  The bit
doesn't change with protection changes.

NOTE! This also adds a FIXME comment to revisit this issue,

Not only should we probably re-visit the whole "is this a shared
read-only page" heuristic (we might want to take the vma permissions
into account and base this more on those than the per-page ones, and
also look at whether the particular access that triggers it is a write
or not), but the whole COW issue shows that we should think about the
NUMA fault handling some more.

For example, maybe we should do the early-COW thing that a regular fault
does.  Or maybe we should accept that while using the same bits as
PROTNONE was a good thing (and got rid of the specual NUMA bit), we
might still want to just preseve the other protection bits across NUMA
faulting.

Those are bigger questions, left for later.  This just fixes up the
heuristic so that it at least approximates working again.  More analysis
and work needed.

Mel Gorman 10c1045f28 mm: numa: avoid unnecessary TLB flushes when setting NUMA hinting entries
If a PTE or PMD is already marked NUMA when scanning to mark entries for
NUMA hinting then it is not necessary to update the entry and incur a TLB
flush penalty.  Avoid the avoidhead where possible.

Mel Gorman c0e7cad9f2 mm: numa: add paranoid check around pte_protnone_numa
pte_protnone_numa is only safe to use after VMA checks for PROT_NONE are
complete.  Treating a real PROT_NONE PTE as a NUMA hinting fault is going
to result in strangeness so add a check for it.  BUG_ON looks like
overkill but if this is hit then it's a serious bug that could result in
corruption so do not even try recovering.  It would have been more
comprehensive to check VMA flags in pte_protnone_numa but it would have
made the API ugly just for a debugging check.

Mel Gorman 5d83306213 mm: numa: do not dereference pmd outside of the lock during NUMA hinting fault
Automatic NUMA balancing depends on being able to protect PTEs to trap a
fault and gather reference locality information.  Very broadly speaking
it would mark PTEs as not present and use another bit to distinguish
between NUMA hinting faults and other types of faults.  It was
universally loved by everybody and caused no problems whatsoever.  That
last sentence might be a lie.

This series is very heavily based on patches from Linus and Aneesh to
replace the existing PTE/PMD NUMA helper functions with normal change
protections.  I did alter and add parts of it but I consider them
relatively minor contributions.  At their suggestion, acked-bys are in
there but I've no problem converting them to Signed-off-by if requested.

AFAIK, this has received no testing on ppc64 and I'm depending on Aneesh
for that.  I tested trinity under kvm-tool and passed and ran a few
other basic tests.  At the time of writing, only the short-lived tests
have completed but testing of V2 indicated that long-term testing had no
surprises.  In most cases I'm leaving out detail as it's not that
interesting.

specjbb single JVM: There was negligible performance difference in the
	benchmark itself for short runs. However, system activity is
	higher and interrupts are much higher over time -- possibly TLB
	flushes. Migrations are also higher. Overall, this is more overhead
	but considering the problems faced with the old approach I think
	we just have to suck it up and find another way of reducing the
	overhead.

specjbb multi JVM: Negligible performance difference to the actual benchmark
	but like the single JVM case, the system overhead is noticeably
	higher.  Again, interrupts are a major factor.

autonumabench: This was all over the place and about all that can be
	reasonably concluded is that it's different but not necessarily
	better or worse.

NUMA pages migrated            5467056    61676398

The NUMA pages migrated look terrible but when I looked at a graph of the
activity over time I see that the massive spike in migration activity was
during NUMA01.  This correlates with high system CPU usage and could be
simply down to bad luck but any modifications that affect that workload
would be related to scan rates and migrations, not the protection
mechanism.  For all other workloads, migration activity was comparable.

Overall, headline performance figures are comparable but the overhead is
higher, mostly in interrupts.  To some extent, higher overhead from this
approach was anticipated but not to this degree.  It's going to be
necessary to reduce this again with a separate series in the future.  It's
still worth going ahead with this series though as it's likely to avoid
constant headaches with Xen and is probably easier to maintain.

This patch (of 10):

A transhuge NUMA hinting fault may find the page is migrating and should
wait until migration completes.  The check is race-prone because the pmd
is deferenced outside of the page lock and while the race is tiny, it'll
be larger if the PMD is cleared while marking PMDs for hinting fault.
This patch closes the race.

Ebru Akagunduz 10359213d0 mm: incorporate read-only pages into transparent huge pages
This patch aims to improve THP collapse rates, by allowing THP collapse in
the presence of read-only ptes, like those left in place by do_swap_page
after a read fault.

Currently THP can collapse 4kB pages into a THP when there are up to
khugepaged_max_ptes_none pte_none ptes in a 2MB range.  This patch applies
the same limit for read-only ptes.

The patch was tested with a test program that allocates 800MB of memory,
writes to it, and then sleeps.  I force the system to swap out all but
190MB of the program by touching other memory.  Afterwards, the test
program does a mix of reads and writes to its memory, and the memory gets
swapped back in.

Without the patch, only the memory that did not get swapped out remained
in THPs, which corresponds to 24% of the memory of the program.  The
percentage did not increase over time.

With this patch, after 5 minutes of waiting khugepaged had collapsed 50%
of the program's memory back into THPs.

Test results:

This make sure that we try to allocate hugepages from local node if
allowed by mempolicy.  If we can't, we fallback to small page allocation
based on mempolicy.  This is based on the observation that allocating
pages on local node is more beneficial than allocating hugepages on remote
node.

With this patch applied we may find transparent huge page allocation
failures if the current node doesn't have enough freee hugepages.  Before
this patch such failures result in us retrying the allocation on other
nodes in the numa node mask.

 "Highlights:

   - AMD KFD driver merge

     This is the AMD HSA interface for exposing a lowlevel interface for
     GPGPU use.  They have an open source userspace built on top of this

     tree.

   - Initial atomic modesetting work

     The need for an atomic modesetting interface to allow userspace to
     try and send a complete set of modesetting state to the driver has
     arisen, and been suffering from neglect this past year.  No more,
     the start of the common code and changes for msm driver to use it
     are in this tree.  Ongoing work to get the userspace ioctl finished
     and the code clean will probably wait until next kernel.

   - DisplayID 1.3 and tiled monitor exposed to userspace.

     Tiled monitor property is now exposed for userspace to make use of.

   - Rockchip drm driver merged.

  Two patches for the memory management with changes to common code.
  For KVM mm_forbids_zeropage is added which disables the empty zero

  pmdp_get_and_clear_full is added analog to ptep_get_and_clear_full.

  Some micro optimization for the cmpxchg and the spinlock code.

David Rientjes 6d50e60cd2 mm, thp: fix collapsing of hugepages on madvise
If an anonymous mapping is not allowed to fault thp memory and then
madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) is used after fault, khugepaged will never
collapse this memory into thp memory.

This occurs because the madvise(2) handler for thp, hugepage_madvise(),
clears VM_NOHUGEPAGE on the stack and it isn't stored in vma->vm_flags
until the final action of madvise_behavior().  This causes the
khugepaged_enter_vma_merge() to be a no-op in hugepage_madvise() when
the vma had previously had VM_NOHUGEPAGE set.

Fix this by passing the correct vma flags to the khugepaged mm slot
handler.  There's no chance khugepaged can run on this vma until after
madvise_behavior() returns since we hold mm->mmap_sem.

It would be possible to clear VM_NOHUGEPAGE directly from vma->vm_flags
in hugepage_advise(), but I didn't want to introduce special case
behavior into madvise_behavior().  I think it's best to just let it
always set vma->vm_flags itself.

Yu Zhao 5ddacbe92b mm: free compound page with correct order
Compound page should be freed by put_page() or free_pages() with correct
order.  Not doing so will cause tail pages leaked.

The compound order can be obtained by compound_order() or use
HPAGE_PMD_ORDER in our case.  Some people would argue the latter is
faster but I prefer the former which is more general.

This bug was observed not just on our servers (the worst case we saw is
11G leaked on a 48G machine) but also on our workstations running Ubuntu
based distro.

  $ cat /proc/vmstat  | grep thp_zero_page_alloc
  thp_zero_page_alloc 55
  thp_zero_page_alloc_failed 0

This means there is (thp_zero_page_alloc - 1) * (2M - 4K) memory leaked.

Vlastimil Babka 8b1645685a mm, THP: don't hold mmap_sem in khugepaged when allocating THP
When allocating huge page for collapsing, khugepaged currently holds
mmap_sem for reading on the mm where collapsing occurs.  Afterwards the
read lock is dropped before write lock is taken on the same mmap_sem.

Holding mmap_sem during whole huge page allocation is therefore useless,
the vma needs to be rechecked after taking the write lock anyway.
Furthemore, huge page allocation might involve a rather long sync
compaction, and thus block any mmap_sem writers and i.e.  affect workloads
that perform frequent m(un)map or mprotect oterations.

This patch simply releases the read lock before allocating a huge page.
It also deletes an outdated comment that assumed vma must be stable, as it
was using alloc_hugepage_vma().  This is no longer true since commit
9f1b868a13 ("mm: thp: khugepaged: add policy for finding target node").

This patch reverts 1ba6e0b50b ("mm: numa: split_huge_page: transfer the
NUMA type from the pmd to the pte"). If a huge page is being split due
a protection change and the tail will be in a PROT_NONE vma then NUMA
hinting PTEs are temporarily created in the protected VMA.

 VM_RW|VM_PROTNONE
|-----------------|
      ^
      split here

In the specific case above, it should get fixed up by change_pte_range()
but there is a window of opportunity for weirdness to happen. Similarly,
if a huge page is shrunk and split during a protection update but before
pmd_numa is cleared then a pte_numa can be left behind.

Instead of adding complexity trying to deal with the case, this patch
will not mark PTEs NUMA when splitting a huge page. NUMA hinting faults
will not be triggered which is marginal in comparison to the complexity
in dealing with the corner cases during THP split.

Johannes Weiner 00501b531c mm: memcontrol: rewrite charge API
These patches rework memcg charge lifetime to integrate more naturally
with the lifetime of user pages.  This drastically simplifies the code and
reduces charging and uncharging overhead.  The most expensive part of
charging and uncharging is the page_cgroup bit spinlock, which is removed
entirely after this series.

Here are the top-10 profile entries of a stress test that reads a 128G
sparse file on a freshly booted box, without even a dedicated cgroup (i.e.
 executing in the root memcg).  Before:

     1.30%           cat  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] kfree

As you can see, the memcg footprint has shrunk quite a bit.

  35239    9892     400   45531    b1db mm/memcontrol.o

This patch (of 4):

The memcg charge API charges pages before they are rmapped - i.e.  have an
actual "type" - and so every callsite needs its own set of charge and
uncharge functions to know what type is being operated on.  Worse,
uncharge has to happen from a context that is still type-specific, rather
than at the end of the page's lifetime with exclusive access, and so
requires a lot of synchronization.

Rewrite the charge API to provide a generic set of try_charge(),
commit_charge() and cancel_charge() transaction operations, much like
what's currently done for swap-in:

  mem_cgroup_try_charge() attempts to reserve a charge, reclaiming
  pages from the memcg if necessary.

  mem_cgroup_commit_charge() commits the page to the charge once it
  has a valid page->mapping and PageAnon() reliably tells the type.

  mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() aborts the transaction.

This reduces the charge API and enables subsequent patches to
drastically simplify uncharging.

As pages need to be committed after rmap is established but before they
are added to the LRU, page_add_new_anon_rmap() must stop doing LRU
additions again.  Revive lru_cache_add_active_or_unevictable().

David Rientjes 14a4e2141e mm, thp: only collapse hugepages to nodes with affinity for zone_reclaim_mode
Commit 9f1b868a13 ("mm: thp: khugepaged: add policy for finding target
node") improved the previous khugepaged logic which allocated a
transparent hugepages from the node of the first page being collapsed.

However, it is still possible to collapse pages to remote memory which
may suffer from additional access latency.  With the current policy, it
is possible that 255 pages (with PAGE_SHIFT == 12) will be collapsed
remotely if the majority are allocated from that node.

When zone_reclaim_mode is enabled, it means the VM should make every
attempt to allocate locally to prevent NUMA performance degradation.  In
this case, we do not want to collapse hugepages to remote nodes that
would suffer from increased access latency.  Thus, when
zone_reclaim_mode is enabled, only allow collapsing to nodes with
RECLAIM_DISTANCE or less.

There is no functional change for systems that disable
zone_reclaim_mode.

Johannes Weiner d51d885bbb mm: huge_memory: use GFP_TRANSHUGE when charging huge pages
Transparent huge page charges prefer falling back to regular pages
rather than spending a lot of time in direct reclaim.

Desired reclaim behavior is usually declared in the gfp mask, but THP
charges use GFP_KERNEL and then rely on the fact that OOM is disabled
for THP charges, and that OOM-disabled charges don't retry reclaim.
Needless to say, this is anything but obvious and quite error prone.

Convert THP charges to use GFP_TRANSHUGE instead, which implies
__GFP_NORETRY, to indicate the low-latency requirement.

Waiman Long 3a79d52aa3 mm, thp: replace smp_mb after atomic_add by smp_mb__after_atomic
In some architectures like x86, atomic_add() is a full memory barrier.
In that case, an additional smp_mb() is just a waste of time.  This
patch replaces that smp_mb() by smp_mb__after_atomic() which will avoid
the redundant memory barrier in some architectures.

With a 3.16-rc1 based kernel, this patch reduced the execution time of
breaking 1000 transparent huge pages from 38,245us to 30,964us.  A
reduction of 19% which is quite sizeable.  It also reduces the %cpu time
of the __split_huge_page_refcount function in the perf profile from
2.18% to 1.15%.

Waiman Long f8303c2582 mm, thp: move invariant bug check out of loop in __split_huge_page_map
In __split_huge_page_map(), the check for page_mapcount(page) is
invariant within the for loop.  Because of the fact that the macro is
implemented using atomic_read(), the redundant check cannot be optimized
away by the compiler leading to unnecessary read to the page structure.

This patch moves the invariant bug check out of the loop so that it will
be done only once.  On a 3.16-rc1 based kernel, the execution time of a
microbenchmark that broke up 1000 transparent huge pages using munmap()
had an execution time of 38,245us and 38,548us with and without the
patch respectively.  The performance gain is about 1%.

    SyS_mlockall (include/linux/mm.h:1799 mm/mlock.c:817 mm/mlock.c:791)

I believe this comes about because, whereas collapsing and splitting THP
functions take anon_vma lock in write mode (which excludes concurrent
rmap walks), faulting THP functions (write protection and misplaced
NUMA) do not - and mostly they do not need to.

But they do use a pmdp_clear_flush(), set_pmd_at() sequence which, for
an instant (indeed, for a long instant, given the inter-CPU TLB flush in
there), leaves *pmd neither present not trans_huge.

Which can confuse a concurrent rmap walk, as when removing migration
ptes, seen in the dumped trace.  Although that rmap walk has a 4k page
to insert, anon_vmas containing THPs are in no way segregated from
4k-page anon_vmas, so the 4k-intent mm_find_pmd() does need to cope with
that instant when a trans_huge pmd is temporarily absent.

I don't think we need strengthen the locking at the THP end: it's easily
handled with an ACCESS_ONCE() before testing both conditions.

And since mm_find_pmd() had only one caller who wanted a THP rather than
a pmd, let's slightly repurpose it to fail when it hits a THP or
non-present pmd, and open code split_huge_page_address() again.

Hugh Dickins 5338a93722 mm: thp: fix DEBUG_PAGEALLOC oops in copy_page_rep()
Trinity has for over a year been reporting a CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC oops
in copy_page_rep() called from copy_user_huge_page() called from
do_huge_pmd_wp_page().

I believe this is a DEBUG_PAGEALLOC false positive, due to the source
page being split, and a tail page freed, while copy is in progress; and
not a problem without DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, since the pmd_same() check will
prevent a miscopy from being made visible.

Fix by adding get_user_huge_page() and put_user_huge_page(): reducing to
the usual get_page() and put_page() on head page in the usual config;
but get and put references to all of the tail pages when
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.

Kirill A. Shutemov ff9e43eb4f thp: consolidate assert checks in __split_huge_page()
It doesn't make sense to have two assert checks for each invariant: one
for printing and one for BUG().

Let's trigger BUG() if we print error message.

Kirill A. Shutemov b5a8cad376 thp: close race between split and zap huge pages
Sasha Levin has reported two THP BUGs[1][2].  I believe both of them
have the same root cause.  Let's look to them one by one.

The first bug[1] is "kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1829!".  It's
BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page)) in __split_huge_page().  From my
testing I see that page_mapcount() is higher than mapcount here.

I think it happens due to race between zap_huge_pmd() and
page_check_address_pmd().  page_check_address_pmd() misses PMD which is
under zap:

	CPU0						CPU1
						zap_huge_pmd()
						  pmdp_get_and_clear()
__split_huge_page()
  anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach()
    __split_huge_page_splitting()
      page_check_address_pmd()
        mm_find_pmd()
	  /*
	   * We check if PMD present without taking ptl: no
	   * serialization against zap_huge_pmd(). We miss this PMD,
	   * it's not accounted to 'mapcount' in __split_huge_page().
	   */
	  pmd_present(pmd) == 0

  BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page)) // CRASH!!!

						  page_remove_rmap(page)
						    atomic_add_negative(-1, &page->_mapcount)

The second bug[2] is "kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1371!".
It's VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHead(page), page) in zap_huge_pmd().

This happens in similar way:

	CPU0						CPU1
						zap_huge_pmd()
						  pmdp_get_and_clear()
						  page_remove_rmap(page)
						    atomic_add_negative(-1, &page->_mapcount)
__split_huge_page()
  anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach()
    __split_huge_page_splitting()
      page_check_address_pmd()
        mm_find_pmd()
	  pmd_present(pmd) == 0	/* The same comment as above */
  /*
   * No crash this time since we already decremented page->_mapcount in
   * zap_huge_pmd().
   */
  BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page))

  /*
   * We split the compound page here into small pages without
   * serialization against zap_huge_pmd()
   */
  __split_huge_page_refcount()
						VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHead(page), page); // CRASH!!!

So my understanding the problem is pmd_present() check in mm_find_pmd()
without taking page table lock.

The bug was introduced by me commit with commit 117b0791ac. Sorry for
that. :(

Let's open code mm_find_pmd() in page_check_address_pmd() and do the
check under page table lock.

Note that __page_check_address() does the same for PTE entires
if sync != 0.

I've stress tested split and zap code paths for 36+ hours by now and
don't see crashes with the patch applied. Before it took <20 min to
trigger the first bug and few hours for second one (if we ignore
first).
