[PATCH] sparsemem memory model
Sparsemem abstracts the use of discontiguous mem_maps[]. This kind of
mem_map[] is needed by discontiguous memory machines (like in the old
CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM case) as well as memory hotplug systems. Sparsemem
replaces DISCONTIGMEM when enabled, and it is hoped that it can eventually
become a complete replacement.
A significant advantage over DISCONTIGMEM is that it's completely separated
from CONFIG_NUMA. When producing this patch, it became apparent in that NUMA
and DISCONTIG are often confused.
Another advantage is that sparse doesn't require each NUMA node's ranges to be
contiguous. It can handle overlapping ranges between nodes with no problems,
where DISCONTIGMEM currently throws away that memory.
Sparsemem uses an array to provide different pfn_to_page() translations for
each SECTION_SIZE area of physical memory. This is what allows the mem_map[]
to be chopped up.
In order to do quick pfn_to_page() operations, the section number of the page
is encoded in page->flags. Part of the sparsemem infrastructure enables
sharing of these bits more dynamically (at compile-time) between the
page_zone() and sparsemem operations. However, on 32-bit architectures, the
number of bits is quite limited, and may require growing the size of the
page->flags type in certain conditions. Several things might force this to
occur: a decrease in the SECTION_SIZE (if you want to hotplug smaller areas of
memory), an increase in the physical address space, or an increase in the
number of used page->flags.
One thing to note is that, once sparsemem is present, the NUMA node
information no longer needs to be stored in the page->flags. It might provide
speed increases on certain platforms and will be stored there if there is
room. But, if out of room, an alternate (theoretically slower) mechanism is
used.
This patch introduces CONFIG_FLATMEM. It is used in almost all cases where
there used to be an #ifndef DISCONTIG, because SPARSEMEM and DISCONTIGMEM
often have to compile out the same areas of code.

[PATCH] mm: split page table lock
Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with
a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of
a large anonymous area.
This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to
guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single
page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page
table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.)
In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the
page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in
the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled.
Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally,
I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on
multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs.
So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig
language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with
NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good
testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps
change that to 8 later.
There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking
one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

mm,memory_hotplug: allocate memmap from the added memory range
Physical memory hotadd has to allocate a memmap (struct page array) for
the newly added memory section. Currently, alloc_pages_node() is used
for those allocations.
This has some disadvantages:
a) an existing memory is consumed for that purpose
(eg: ~2MB per 128MB memory section on x86_64)
This can even lead to extreme cases where system goes OOM because
the physically hotplugged memory depletes the available memory before
it is onlined.
b) if the whole node is movable then we have off-node struct pages
which has performance drawbacks.
c) It might be there are no PMD_ALIGNED chunks so memmap array gets
populated with base pages.
This can be improved when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is enabled.
Vmemap page tables can map arbitrary memory. That means that we can
reserve a part of the physically hotadded memory to back vmemmap page
tables. This implementation uses the beginning of the hotplugged memory
for that purpose.
There are some non-obviously things to consider though.
Vmemmap pages are allocated/freed during the memory hotplug events
(add_memory_resource(), try_remove_memory()) when the memory is
added/removed. This means that the reserved physical range is not
online although it is used. The most obvious side effect is that
pfn_to_online_page() returns NULL for those pfns. The current design
expects that this should be OK as the hotplugged memory is considered a
garbage until it is onlined. For example hibernation wouldn't save the
content of those vmmemmaps into the image so it wouldn't be restored on
resume but this should be OK as there no real content to recover anyway
while metadata is reachable from other data structures (e.g. vmemmap
page tables).
The reserved space is therefore (de)initialized during the {on,off}line
events (mhp_{de}init_memmap_on_memory). That is done by extracting page
allocator independent initialization from the regular onlining path.
The primary reason to handle the reserved space outside of
{on,off}line_pages is to make each initialization specific to the
purpose rather than special case them in a single function.
As per above, the functions that are introduced are:
- mhp_init_memmap_on_memory:
Initializes vmemmap pages by calling move_pfn_range_to_zone(), calls
kasan_add_zero_shadow(), and onlines as many sections as vmemmap pages
fully span.
- mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory:
Offlines as many sections as vmemmap pages fully span, removes the
range from zhe zone by remove_pfn_range_from_zone(), and calls
kasan_remove_zero_shadow() for the range.
The new function memory_block_online() calls mhp_init_memmap_on_memory()
before doing the actual online_pages(). Should online_pages() fail, we
clean up by calling mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory(). Adjusting of
present_pages is done at the end once we know that online_pages()
succedeed.
On offline, memory_block_offline() needs to unaccount vmemmap pages from
present_pages() before calling offline_pages(). This is necessary because
offline_pages() tears down some structures based on the fact whether the
node or the zone become empty. If offline_pages() fails, we account back
vmemmap pages. If it succeeds, we call mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory().
Hot-remove:
We need to be careful when removing memory, as adding and
removing memory needs to be done with the same granularity.
To check that this assumption is not violated, we check the
memory range we want to remove and if a) any memory block has
vmemmap pages and b) the range spans more than a single memory
block, we scream out loud and refuse to proceed.
If all is good and the range was using memmap on memory (aka vmemmap pages),
we construct an altmap structure so free_hugepage_table does the right
thing and calls vmem_altmap_free instead of free_pagetable.

[PATCH] mm: split page table lock
Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with
a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of
a large anonymous area.
This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to
guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single
page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page
table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.)
In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the
page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in
the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled.
Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally,
I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on
multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs.
So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig
language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with
NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good
testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps
change that to 8 later.
There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking
one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce

|

significantly the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be

|
used within a guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated
|
|
|
|
|
with the reduced number of transparent huge pages that could be used
|
|
|

|
by the guest workload. Allowing the compaction & migration for memory
|
|

|
|
pages enlisted as being part of memory balloon devices avoids the
|
|
|

|
scenario aforementioned and helps improving memory defragmentation.

high order (larger physically contiguous) memory blocks

mmu-notifiers: core
With KVM/GFP/XPMEM there isn't just the primary CPU MMU pointing to pages.
There are secondary MMUs (with secondary sptes and secondary tlbs) too.
sptes in the kvm case are shadow pagetables, but when I say spte in
mmu-notifier context, I mean "secondary pte". In GRU case there's no
actual secondary pte and there's only a secondary tlb because the GRU
secondary MMU has no knowledge about sptes and every secondary tlb miss
event in the MMU always generates a page fault that has to be resolved by
the CPU (this is not the case of KVM where the a secondary tlb miss will
walk sptes in hardware and it will refill the secondary tlb transparently
to software if the corresponding spte is present). The same way
zap_page_range has to invalidate the pte before freeing the page, the spte
(and secondary tlb) must also be invalidated before any page is freed and
reused.
Currently we take a page_count pin on every page mapped by sptes, but that
means the pages can't be swapped whenever they're mapped by any spte
because they're part of the guest working set. Furthermore a spte unmap
event can immediately lead to a page to be freed when the pin is released
(so requiring the same complex and relatively slow tlb_gather smp safe
logic we have in zap_page_range and that can be avoided completely if the
spte unmap event doesn't require an unpin of the page previously mapped in
the secondary MMU).
The mmu notifiers allow kvm/GRU/XPMEM to attach to the tsk->mm and know
when the VM is swapping or freeing or doing anything on the primary MMU so
that the secondary MMU code can drop sptes before the pages are freed,
avoiding all page pinning and allowing 100% reliable swapping of guest
physical address space. Furthermore it avoids the code that teardown the
mappings of the secondary MMU, to implement a logic like tlb_gather in
zap_page_range that would require many IPI to flush other cpu tlbs, for
each fixed number of spte unmapped.
To make an example: if what happens on the primary MMU is a protection
downgrade (from writeable to wrprotect) the secondary MMU mappings will be
invalidated, and the next secondary-mmu-page-fault will call
get_user_pages and trigger a do_wp_page through get_user_pages if it
called get_user_pages with write=1, and it'll re-establishing an updated
spte or secondary-tlb-mapping on the copied page. Or it will setup a
readonly spte or readonly tlb mapping if it's a guest-read, if it calls
get_user_pages with write=0. This is just an example.
This allows to map any page pointed by any pte (and in turn visible in the
primary CPU MMU), into a secondary MMU (be it a pure tlb like GRU, or an
full MMU with both sptes and secondary-tlb like the shadow-pagetable layer
with kvm), or a remote DMA in software like XPMEM (hence needing of
schedule in XPMEM code to send the invalidate to the remote node, while no
need to schedule in kvm/gru as it's an immediate event like invalidating
primary-mmu pte).
At least for KVM without this patch it's impossible to swap guests
reliably. And having this feature and removing the page pin allows
several other optimizations that simplify life considerably.
Dependencies:
1) mm_take_all_locks() to register the mmu notifier when the whole VM
isn't doing anything with "mm". This allows mmu notifier users to keep
track if the VM is in the middle of the invalidate_range_begin/end
critical section with an atomic counter incraese in range_begin and
decreased in range_end. No secondary MMU page fault is allowed to map
any spte or secondary tlb reference, while the VM is in the middle of
range_begin/end as any page returned by get_user_pages in that critical
section could later immediately be freed without any further
->invalidate_page notification (invalidate_range_begin/end works on
ranges and ->invalidate_page isn't called immediately before freeing
the page). To stop all page freeing and pagetable overwrites the
mmap_sem must be taken in write mode and all other anon_vma/i_mmap
locks must be taken too.
2) It'd be a waste to add branches in the VM if nobody could possibly
run KVM/GRU/XPMEM on the kernel, so mmu notifiers will only enabled if
CONFIG_KVM=m/y. In the current kernel kvm won't yet take advantage of
mmu notifiers, but this already allows to compile a KVM external module
against a kernel with mmu notifiers enabled and from the next pull from
kvm.git we'll start using them. And GRU/XPMEM will also be able to
continue the development by enabling KVM=m in their config, until they
submit all GRU/XPMEM GPLv2 code to the mainline kernel. Then they can
also enable MMU_NOTIFIERS in the same way KVM does it (even if KVM=n).
This guarantees nobody selects MMU_NOTIFIER=y if KVM and GRU and XPMEM
are all =n.
The mmu_notifier_register call can fail because mm_take_all_locks may be
interrupted by a signal and return -EINTR. Because mmu_notifier_reigster
is used when a driver startup, a failure can be gracefully handled. Here
an example of the change applied to kvm to register the mmu notifiers.
Usually when a driver startups other allocations are required anyway and
-ENOMEM failure paths exists already.
struct kvm *kvm_arch_create_vm(void)
{
struct kvm *kvm = kzalloc(sizeof(struct kvm), GFP_KERNEL);
+ int err;
if (!kvm)
return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&kvm->arch.active_mmu_pages);
+ kvm->arch.mmu_notifier.ops = &kvm_mmu_notifier_ops;
+ err = mmu_notifier_register(&kvm->arch.mmu_notifier, current->mm);
+ if (err) {
+ kfree(kvm);
+ return ERR_PTR(err);
+ }
+
return kvm;
}
mmu_notifier_unregister returns void and it's reliable.
The patch also adds a few needed but missing includes that would prevent
kernel to compile after these changes on non-x86 archs (x86 didn't need
them by luck).

mm/mmu_notifier: add an interval tree notifier
Of the 13 users of mmu_notifiers, 8 of them use only
invalidate_range_start/end() and immediately intersect the
mmu_notifier_range with some kind of internal list of VAs. 4 use an
interval tree (i915_gem, radeon_mn, umem_odp, hfi1). 4 use a linked list
of some kind (scif_dma, vhost, gntdev, hmm)
And the remaining 5 either don't use invalidate_range_start() or do some
special thing with it.
It turns out that building a correct scheme with an interval tree is
pretty complicated, particularly if the use case is synchronizing against
another thread doing get_user_pages(). Many of these implementations have
various subtle and difficult to fix races.
This approach puts the interval tree as common code at the top of the mmu
notifier call tree and implements a shareable locking scheme.
It includes:
- An interval tree tracking VA ranges, with per-range callbacks
- A read/write locking scheme for the interval tree that avoids
sleeping in the notifier path (for OOM killer)
- A sequence counter based collision-retry locking scheme to tell
device page fault that a VA range is being concurrently invalidated.
This is based on various ideas:
- hmm accumulates invalidated VA ranges and releases them when all
invalidates are done, via active_invalidate_ranges count.
This approach avoids having to intersect the interval tree twice (as
umem_odp does) at the potential cost of a longer device page fault.
- kvm/umem_odp use a sequence counter to drive the collision retry,
via invalidate_seq
- a deferred work todo list on unlock scheme like RTNL, via deferred_list.
This makes adding/removing interval tree members more deterministic
- seqlock, except this version makes the seqlock idea multi-holder on the
write side by protecting it with active_invalidate_ranges and a spinlock
To minimize MM overhead when only the interval tree is being used, the
entire SRCU and hlist overheads are dropped using some simple
branches. Similarly the interval tree overhead is dropped when in hlist
mode.
The overhead from the mandatory spinlock is broadly the same as most of
existing users which already had a lock (or two) of some sort on the
invalidation path.

The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks
|
|
|
|
|
of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system
|
|
|
|
|
allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
|
|
|
|
|
more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
|
|
|
|
|
the excess and return it to the allocator.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
|
|
|
|
|
system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
|
|
|
|
|
if there are a lot of transient processes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
|
|
|
|
|
long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
|
|
|
|
|
(/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
|
|
|
|
|
excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
|
|
|
|
|
no trimming is to occur.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default
|
|
|
|
|
of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out
Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.
This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.
As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.
As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,

the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.

mm: soft-dirty bits for user memory changes tracking
The soft-dirty is a bit on a PTE which helps to track which pages a task
writes to. In order to do this tracking one should
1. Clear soft-dirty bits from PTEs ("echo 4 > /proc/PID/clear_refs)
2. Wait some time.
3. Read soft-dirty bits (55'th in /proc/PID/pagemap2 entries)
To do this tracking, the writable bit is cleared from PTEs when the
soft-dirty bit is. Thus, after this, when the task tries to modify a
page at some virtual address the #PF occurs and the kernel sets the
soft-dirty bit on the respective PTE.
Note, that although all the task's address space is marked as r/o after
the soft-dirty bits clear, the #PF-s that occur after that are processed
fast. This is so, since the pages are still mapped to physical memory,
and thus all the kernel does is finds this fact out and puts back
writable, dirty and soft-dirty bits on the PTE.
Another thing to note, is that when mremap moves PTEs they are marked
with soft-dirty as well, since from the user perspective mremap modifies
the virtual memory at mremap's new address.

mm: make DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT explicitly depend on SPARSEMEM
The deferred memory initialization relies on section definitions, e.g
PAGES_PER_SECTION, that are only available when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y on
most architectures.
Initially DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT depended on explicit
ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT configuration option, but since
the commit 2e3ca40f03bb13709df4 ("mm: relax deferred struct page
requirements") this requirement was relaxed and now it is possible to
enable DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT on architectures that support
DISCONTINGMEM and NO_BOOTMEM which causes build failures.
For instance, setting SMP=y and DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT=y on arc
causes the following build failure:

as the systems that support DISCONTIGMEM do not seem to have that huge
amounts of memory that would make DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT relevant.

mm: parallelize deferred_init_memmap()
Deferred struct page init is a significant bottleneck in kernel boot.
Optimizing it maximizes availability for large-memory systems and allows
spinning up short-lived VMs as needed without having to leave them
running. It also benefits bare metal machines hosting VMs that are
sensitive to downtime. In projects such as VMM Fast Restart[1], where
guest state is preserved across kexec reboot, it helps prevent application
and network timeouts in the guests.
Multithread to take full advantage of system memory bandwidth.
The maximum number of threads is capped at the number of CPUs on the node
because speedups always improve with additional threads on every system
tested, and at this phase of boot, the system is otherwise idle and
waiting on page init to finish.
Helper threads operate on section-aligned ranges to both avoid false
sharing when setting the pageblock's migrate type and to avoid accessing
uninitialized buddy pages, though max order alignment is enough for the
latter.
The minimum chunk size is also a section. There was benefit to using
multiple threads even on relatively small memory (1G) systems, and this is
the smallest size that the alignment allows.
The time (milliseconds) is the slowest node to initialize since boot
blocks until all nodes finish. intel_pstate is loaded in active mode
without hwp and with turbo enabled, and intel_idle is active as well.

Ordinarily all struct pages are initialised during early boot in a
|

single thread. On very large machines this can take a considerable

amount of time. If this option is set, large machines will bring up

mm: parallelize deferred_init_memmap()
Deferred struct page init is a significant bottleneck in kernel boot.
Optimizing it maximizes availability for large-memory systems and allows
spinning up short-lived VMs as needed without having to leave them
running. It also benefits bare metal machines hosting VMs that are
sensitive to downtime. In projects such as VMM Fast Restart[1], where
guest state is preserved across kexec reboot, it helps prevent application
and network timeouts in the guests.
Multithread to take full advantage of system memory bandwidth.
The maximum number of threads is capped at the number of CPUs on the node
because speedups always improve with additional threads on every system
tested, and at this phase of boot, the system is otherwise idle and
waiting on page init to finish.
Helper threads operate on section-aligned ranges to both avoid false
sharing when setting the pageblock's migrate type and to avoid accessing
uninitialized buddy pages, though max order alignment is enough for the
latter.
The minimum chunk size is also a section. There was benefit to using
multiple threads even on relatively small memory (1G) systems, and this is
the smallest size that the alignment allows.
The time (milliseconds) is the slowest node to initialize since boot
blocks until all nodes finish. intel_pstate is loaded in active mode
without hwp and with turbo enabled, and intel_idle is active as well.

mm: introduce idle page tracking
Knowing the portion of memory that is not used by a certain application or
memory cgroup (idle memory) can be useful for partitioning the system
efficiently, e.g. by setting memory cgroup limits appropriately.
Currently, the only means to estimate the amount of idle memory provided
by the kernel is /proc/PID/{clear_refs,smaps}: the user can clear the
access bit for all pages mapped to a particular process by writing 1 to
clear_refs, wait for some time, and then count smaps:Referenced. However,
this method has two serious shortcomings:
- it does not count unmapped file pages
- it affects the reclaimer logic
To overcome these drawbacks, this patch introduces two new page flags,
Idle and Young, and a new sysfs file, /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap.
A page's Idle flag can only be set from userspace by setting bit in
/sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap at the offset corresponding to the page,
and it is cleared whenever the page is accessed either through page tables
(it is cleared in page_referenced() in this case) or using the read(2)
system call (mark_page_accessed()). Thus by setting the Idle flag for
pages of a particular workload, which can be found e.g. by reading
/proc/PID/pagemap, waiting for some time to let the workload access its
working set, and then reading the bitmap file, one can estimate the amount
of pages that are not used by the workload.
The Young page flag is used to avoid interference with the memory
reclaimer. A page's Young flag is set whenever the Access bit of a page
table entry pointing to the page is cleared by writing to the bitmap file.
If page_referenced() is called on a Young page, it will add 1 to its
return value, therefore concealing the fact that the Access bit was
cleared.
Note, since there is no room for extra page flags on 32 bit, this feature
uses extended page flags when compiled on 32 bit.

mm/gup_benchmark: rename to mm/gup_test
Patch series "selftests/vm: gup_test, hmm-tests, assorted improvements", v3.
Summary: This series provides two main things, and a number of smaller
supporting goodies. The two main points are:
1) Add a new sub-test to gup_test, which in turn is a renamed version
of gup_benchmark. This sub-test allows nicer testing of dump_pages(),
at least on user-space pages.
For quite a while, I was doing a quick hack to gup_test.c whenever I
wanted to try out changes to dump_page(). Then Matthew Wilcox asked me
what I meant when I said "I used my dump_page() unit test", and I
realized that it might be nice to check in a polished up version of
that.
Details about how it works and how to use it are in the commit
description for patch #6 ("selftests/vm: gup_test: introduce the
dump_pages() sub-test").
2) Fixes a limitation of hmm-tests: these tests are incredibly useful,
but only if people actually build and run them. And it turns out that
libhugetlbfs is a little too effective at throwing a wrench in the
works, there. So I've added a little configuration check that removes
just two of the 21 hmm-tests, if libhugetlbfs is not available.
Further details in the commit description of patch #8
("selftests/vm: hmm-tests: remove the libhugetlbfs dependency").
Other smaller things that this series does:
a) Remove code duplication by creating gup_test.h.
b) Clear up the sub-test organization, and their invocation within
run_vmtests.sh.
c) Other minor assorted improvements.

[2] https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAHk-=wgh-TMPHLY3jueHX7Y2fWh3D+nMBqVS__AZm6-oorquWA@mail.gmail.com
This patch (of 9):

The one exception is for the actual gup benchmark test itself.
The current code already does a *little* bit more than benchmarking, and
definitely covers more than get_user_pages_fast(). More importantly,
however, subsequent patches are about to add some functionality that is
non-benchmark related.

selftests/vm: gup_test: introduce the dump_pages() sub-test
For quite a while, I was doing a quick hack to gup_test.c (previously,
gup_benchmark.c) whenever I wanted to try out my changes to dump_page().
This makes that hack unnecessary, and instead allows anyone to easily get
the same coverage from a user space program. That saves a lot of time
because you don't have to change the kernel, in order to test different
pages and options.
The new sub-test takes advantage of the existing gup_test infrastructure,
which already provides a simple user space program, some allocated user
space pages, an ioctl call, pinning of those pages (via either
get_user_pages or pin_user_pages) and a corresponding kernel-side test
invocation. There's not much more required, mainly just a couple of
inputs from the user.
In fact, the new test re-uses the existing command line options in order
to get various helpful combinations (THP or normal, _fast or slow gup, gup
vs. pup, and more).
New command line options are: which pages to dump, and what type of
"get/pin" to use.
In order to figure out which pages to dump, the logic is:
* If the user doesn't specify anything, the page 0 (the first page in
the address range that the program sets up for testing) is dumped.
* Or, the user can type up to 8 page indices anywhere on the command
line. If you type more than 8, then it uses the first 8 and ignores the
remaining items.
For example:
./gup_test -ct -F 1 0 19 0x1000
Meaning:
-c: dump pages sub-test
-t: use THP pages
-F 1: use pin_user_pages() instead of get_user_pages()
0 19 0x1000: dump pages 0, 19, and 4096

There is also a sub-test that allows running dump_page() on any
|
|
|
|
|
of up to eight pages (selected by command line args) within the
|
|
|
|
|
range of user-space addresses. These pages are either pinned via
|
|
|
|
|
pin_user_pages*(), or pinned via get_user_pages*(), as specified
|
|
|
|
|
by other command line arguments.

mm: introduce memfd_secret system call to create "secret" memory areas
Introduce "memfd_secret" system call with the ability to create memory
areas visible only in the context of the owning process and not mapped not
only to other processes but in the kernel page tables as well.
The secretmem feature is off by default and the user must explicitly
enable it at the boot time.
Once secretmem is enabled, the user will be able to create a file
descriptor using the memfd_secret() system call. The memory areas created
by mmap() calls from this file descriptor will be unmapped from the kernel
direct map and they will be only mapped in the page table of the processes
that have access to the file descriptor.
Secretmem is designed to provide the following protections:
* Enhanced protection (in conjunction with all the other in-kernel
attack prevention systems) against ROP attacks. Seceretmem makes
"simple" ROP insufficient to perform exfiltration, which increases the
required complexity of the attack. Along with other protections like
the kernel stack size limit and address space layout randomization which
make finding gadgets is really hard, absence of any in-kernel primitive
for accessing secret memory means the one gadget ROP attack can't work.
Since the only way to access secret memory is to reconstruct the missing
mapping entry, the attacker has to recover the physical page and insert
a PTE pointing to it in the kernel and then retrieve the contents. That
takes at least three gadgets which is a level of difficulty beyond most
standard attacks.
* Prevent cross-process secret userspace memory exposures. Once the
secret memory is allocated, the user can't accidentally pass it into the
kernel to be transmitted somewhere. The secreremem pages cannot be
accessed via the direct map and they are disallowed in GUP.
* Harden against exploited kernel flaws. In order to access secretmem,
a kernel-side attack would need to either walk the page tables and
create new ones, or spawn a new privileged uiserspace process to perform
secrets exfiltration using ptrace.
The file descriptor based memory has several advantages over the
"traditional" mm interfaces, such as mlock(), mprotect(), madvise(). File
descriptor approach allows explicit and controlled sharing of the memory
areas, it allows to seal the operations. Besides, file descriptor based
memory paves the way for VMMs to remove the secret memory range from the
userspace hipervisor process, for instance QEMU. Andy Lutomirski says:
"Getting fd-backed memory into a guest will take some possibly major
work in the kernel, but getting vma-backed memory into a guest without
mapping it in the host user address space seems much, much worse."
memfd_secret() is made a dedicated system call rather than an extension to
memfd_create() because it's purpose is to allow the user to create more
secure memory mappings rather than to simply allow file based access to
the memory. Nowadays a new system call cost is negligible while it is way
simpler for userspace to deal with a clear-cut system calls than with a
multiplexer or an overloaded syscall. Moreover, the initial
implementation of memfd_secret() is completely distinct from
memfd_create() so there is no much sense in overloading memfd_create() to
begin with. If there will be a need for code sharing between these
implementation it can be easily achieved without a need to adjust user
visible APIs.
The secret memory remains accessible in the process context using uaccess
primitives, but it is not exposed to the kernel otherwise; secret memory
areas are removed from the direct map and functions in the
follow_page()/get_user_page() family will refuse to return a page that
belongs to the secret memory area.
Once there will be a use case that will require exposing secretmem to the
kernel it will be an opt-in request in the system call flags so that user
would have to decide what data can be exposed to the kernel.
Removing of the pages from the direct map may cause its fragmentation on
architectures that use large pages to map the physical memory which
affects the system performance. However, the original Kconfig text for
CONFIG_DIRECT_GBPAGES said that gigabyte pages in the direct map "... can
improve the kernel's performance a tiny bit ..." (commit 00d1c5e05736
("x86: add gbpages switches")) and the recent report [1] showed that "...
although 1G mappings are a good default choice, there is no compelling
evidence that it must be the only choice". Hence, it is sufficient to
have secretmem disabled by default with the ability of a system
administrator to enable it at boot time.
Pages in the secretmem regions are unevictable and unmovable to avoid
accidental exposure of the sensitive data via swap or during page
migration.
Since the secretmem mappings are locked in memory they cannot exceed
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK. Since these mappings are already locked independently
from mlock(), an attempt to mlock()/munlock() secretmem range would fail
and mlockall()/munlockall() will ignore secretmem mappings.
However, unlike mlock()ed memory, secretmem currently behaves more like
long-term GUP: secretmem mappings are unmovable mappings directly consumed
by user space. With default limits, there is no excessive use of
secretmem and it poses no real problem in combination with
ZONE_MOVABLE/CMA, but in the future this should be addressed to allow
balanced use of large amounts of secretmem along with ZONE_MOVABLE/CMA.
A page that was a part of the secret memory area is cleared when it is
freed to ensure the data is not exposed to the next user of that page.
The following example demonstrates creation of a secret mapping (error
handling is omitted):
fd = memfd_secret(0);
ftruncate(fd, MAP_SIZE);
ptr = mmap(NULL, MAP_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
