f5c8ad4728 mm: thp: Use more portable PMD clearing sequenece in zap_huge_pmd().
Invalidation sequences are handled in various ways on various
architectures.

One way, which sparc64 uses, is to let the set_*_at() functions accumulate
pending flushes into a per-cpu array.  Then the flush_tlb_range() et al.
calls process the pending TLB flushes.

In this regime, the __tlb_remove_*tlb_entry() implementations are
essentially NOPs.

The canonical PTE zap in mm/memory.c is:

			ptent = ptep_get_and_clear_full(mm, addr, pte,
							tlb->fullmm);
			tlb_remove_tlb_entry(tlb, pte, addr);

With a subsequent tlb_flush_mmu() if needed.

Mirror this in the THP PMD zapping using:

		orig_pmd = pmdp_get_and_clear(tlb->mm, addr, pmd);
		page = pmd_page(orig_pmd);
		tlb_remove_pmd_tlb_entry(tlb, pmd, addr);

And we properly accomodate TLB flush mechanims like the one described
above.

b113da6578 mm: Add and use update_mmu_cache_pmd() in transparent huge page code.
The transparent huge page code passes a PMD pointer in as the third
argument of update_mmu_cache(), which expects a PTE pointer.

This never got noticed because X86 implements update_mmu_cache() as a
macro and thus we don't get any type checking, and X86 is the only
architecture which supports transparent huge pages currently.

Before other architectures can support transparent huge pages properly we
need to add a new interface which will take a PMD pointer as the third
argument rather than a PTE pointer.

b676b293fb mm, thp: fix mapped pages avoiding unevictable list on mlock
When a transparent hugepage is mapped and it is included in an mlock()
range, follow_page() incorrectly avoids setting the page's mlock bit and
moving it to the unevictable lru.

This is evident if you try to mlock(), munlock(), and then mlock() a
range again.  Currently:

	#define MAP_SIZE	(4 << 30)	/* 4GB */

	void *ptr = mmap(NULL, MAP_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
			 MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);
	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		$ grep -E "Unevictable|Inactive\(anon" /proc/meminfo
		Inactive(anon):     6304 kB
		Unevictable:     4213924 kB

	munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		Inactive(anon):  4186252 kB
		Unevictable:       19652 kB

	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		Inactive(anon):  4198556 kB
		Unevictable:       21684 kB

Notice that less than 2MB was added to the unevictable list; this is
because these pages in the range are not transparent hugepages since the
4GB range was allocated with mmap() and has no specific alignment.  If
posix_memalign() were used instead, unevictable would not have grown at
all on the second mlock().

The fix is to call mlock_vma_page() so that the mlock bit is set and the
page is added to the unevictable list.  With this patch:

	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		Inactive(anon):     4056 kB
		Unevictable:     4213940 kB

	munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		Inactive(anon):  4198268 kB
		Unevictable:       19636 kB

	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		Inactive(anon):     4008 kB
		Unevictable:     4213940 kB

2ec74c3ef2 mm: move all mmu notifier invocations to be done outside the PT lock
In order to allow sleeping during mmu notifier calls, we need to avoid
invoking them under the page table spinlock.  This patch solves the
problem by calling invalidate_page notification after releasing the lock
(but before freeing the page itself), or by wrapping the page invalidation
with calls to invalidate_range_begin and invalidate_range_end.

To prevent accidental changes to the invalidate_range_end arguments after
the call to invalidate_range_begin, the patch introduces a convention of
saving the arguments in consistently named locals:

	unsigned long mmun_start;	/* For mmu_notifiers */
	unsigned long mmun_end;	/* For mmu_notifiers */

	...

	mmun_start = ...
	mmun_end = ...
	mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end);

	...

	mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end);

The patch changes code to use this convention for all calls to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end, except those where the calls are
close enough so that anyone who glances at the code can see the values
aren't changing.

This patchset is a preliminary step towards on-demand paging design to be
added to the RDMA stack.

Why do we want on-demand paging for Infiniband?

  Applications register memory with an RDMA adapter using system calls,
  and subsequently post IO operations that refer to the corresponding
  virtual addresses directly to HW.  Until now, this was achieved by
  pinning the memory during the registration calls.  The goal of on demand
  paging is to avoid pinning the pages of registered memory regions (MRs).
   This will allow users the same flexibility they get when swapping any
  other part of their processes address spaces.  Instead of requiring the
  entire MR to fit in physical memory, we can allow the MR to be larger,
  and only fit the current working set in physical memory.

Why should anyone care?  What problems are users currently experiencing?

  This can make programming with RDMA much simpler.  Today, developers
  that are working with more data than their RAM can hold need either to
  deregister and reregister memory regions throughout their process's
  life, or keep a single memory region and copy the data to it.  On demand
  paging will allow these developers to register a single MR at the
  beginning of their process's life, and let the operating system manage
  which pages needs to be fetched at a given time.  In the future, we
  might be able to provide a single memory access key for each process
  that would provide the entire process's address as one large memory
  region, and the developers wouldn't need to register memory regions at
  all.

Is there any prospect that any other subsystems will utilise these
infrastructural changes?  If so, which and how, etc?

  As for other subsystems, I understand that XPMEM wanted to sleep in
  MMU notifiers, as Christoph Lameter wrote at
  http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0802.1/0460.html and
  perhaps Andrea knows about other use cases.

  Scheduling in mmu notifications is required since we need to sync the
  hardware with the secondary page tables change.  A TLB flush of an IO
  device is inherently slower than a CPU TLB flush, so our design works by
  sending the invalidation request to the device, and waiting for an
  interrupt before exiting the mmu notifier handler.

Avi said:

  kvm may be a buyer.  kvm::mmu_lock, which serializes guest page
  faults, also protects long operations such as destroying large ranges.
  It would be good to convert it into a spinlock, but as it is used inside
  mmu notifiers, this cannot be done.

  (there are alternatives, such as keeping the spinlock and using a
  generation counter to do the teardown in O(1), which is what the "may"
  is doing up there).

86c2ad1995 mm rmap: remove vma_address check for address inside vma
In file and anon rmap, we use interval trees to find potentially relevant
vmas and then call vma_address() to find the virtual address the given
page might be found at in these vmas.  vma_address() used to include a
check that the returned address falls within the limits of the vma, but
this check isn't necessary now that we always use interval trees in rmap:
the interval tree just doesn't return any vmas which this check would find
to be irrelevant.  As a result, we can replace the use of -EFAULT error
code (which then needed to be checked in every call site) with a
VM_BUG_ON().

bf181b9f9d mm anon rmap: replace same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree.
When a large VMA (anon or private file mapping) is first touched, which
will populate its anon_vma field, and then split into many regions through
the use of mprotect(), the original anon_vma ends up linking all of the
vmas on a linked list.  This can cause rmap to become inefficient, as we
have to walk potentially thousands of irrelevent vmas before finding the
one a given anon page might fall into.

By replacing the same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree (where
each avc's interval is determined by its vma's start and last pgoffs), we
can make rmap efficient for this use case again.

While the change is large, all of its pieces are fairly simple.

Most places that were walking the same_anon_vma list were looking for a
known pgoff, so they can just use the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach()
interval tree iterator instead.  The exception here is ksm, where the
page's index is not known.  It would probably be possible to rework ksm so
that the index would be known, but for now I have decided to keep things
simple and just walk the entirety of the interval tree there.

When updating vma's that already have an anon_vma assigned, we must take
care to re-index the corresponding avc's on their interval tree.  This is
done through the use of anon_vma_interval_tree_pre_update_vma() and
anon_vma_interval_tree_post_update_vma(), which remove the avc's from
their interval tree before the update and re-insert them after the update.
 The anon_vma stays locked during the update, so there is no chance that
rmap would miss the vmas that are being updated.

e3ebcf6438 thp: remove assumptions on pgtable_t type
The thp page table pre-allocation code currently assumes that pgtable_t is
of type "struct page *".  This may not be true for all architectures, so
this patch removes that assumption by replacing the functions
prepare_pmd_huge_pte() and get_pmd_huge_pte() with two new functions that
can be defined architecture-specific.

It also removes two VM_BUG_ON checks for page_count() and page_mapcount()
operating on a pgtable_t.  Apart from the VM_BUG_ON removal, there will be
no functional change introduced by this patch.

911891afe1 thp: move khugepaged_mutex out of khugepaged
Currently, hugepaged_mutex is used really complexly and hard to
understand, actually, it is just used to serialize start_khugepaged and
khugepaged for these reasons:

- khugepaged_thread is shared between them
- the thp disable path (echo never > transparent_hugepage/enabled) is
  nonblocking, so we need to protect khugepaged_thread to get a stable
  running state

These can be avoided by:

- use the lock to serialize the thread creation and cancel
- thp disable path can not finised until the thread exits

Then khugepaged_thread is fully controlled by start_khugepaged, khugepaged
will be happy without the lock

4b6e1e3702 mm: kill vma flag VM_INSERTPAGE
Merge VM_INSERTPAGE into VM_MIXEDMAP.  VM_MIXEDMAP VMA can mix pure-pfn
ptes, special ptes and normal ptes.

Now copy_page_range() always copies VM_MIXEDMAP VMA on fork like
VM_PFNMAP.  If driver populates whole VMA at mmap() it probably not
expects page-faults.

This patch removes special check from vma_wants_writenotify() which
disables pages write tracking for VMA populated via vm_instert_page().
BDI below mapped file should not use dirty-accounting, moreover
do_wp_page() can handle this.

vm_insert_page() still marks vma after first usage.  Usually it is called
from f_op->mmap() handler under mm->mmap_sem write-lock, so it able to
change vma->vm_flags.  Caller must set VM_MIXEDMAP at mmap time if it
wants to call this function from other places, for example from page-fault
handler.

b3b9c2932c mm, x86, pat: rework linear pfn-mmap tracking
Replace the generic vma-flag VM_PFN_AT_MMAP with x86-only VM_PAT.

We can toss mapping address from remap_pfn_range() into
track_pfn_vma_new(), and collect all PAT-related logic together in
arch/x86/.

This patch also restores orignal frustration-free is_cow_mapping() check
in remap_pfn_range(), as it was before commit v2.6.28-rc8-88-g3c8bb73
("x86: PAT: store vm_pgoff for all linear_over_vma_region mappings - v3")

is_linear_pfn_mapping() checks can be removed from mm/huge_memory.c,
because it already handled by VM_PFNMAP in VM_NO_THP bit-mask.

fa9add641b mm/memcg: apply add/del_page to lruvec
Take lruvec further: pass it instead of zone to add_page_to_lru_list() and
del_page_from_lru_list(); and pagevec_lru_move_fn() pass lruvec down to
its target functions.

This cleanup eliminates a swathe of cruft in memcontrol.c, including
mem_cgroup_lru_add_list(), mem_cgroup_lru_del_list() and
mem_cgroup_lru_move_lists() - which never actually touched the lists.

In their place, mem_cgroup_page_lruvec() to decide the lruvec, previously
a side-effect of add, and mem_cgroup_update_lru_size() to maintain the
lru_size stats.

Whilst these are simplifications in their own right, the goal is to bring
the evaluation of lruvec next to the spin_locking of the lrus, in
preparation for a future patch.

1f1d06c34f thp, memcg: split hugepage for memcg oom on cow
On COW, a new hugepage is allocated and charged to the memcg.  If the
system is oom or the charge to the memcg fails, however, the fault
handler will return VM_FAULT_OOM which results in an oom kill.

Instead, it's possible to fallback to splitting the hugepage so that the
COW results only in an order-0 page being allocated and charged to the
memcg which has a higher liklihood to succeed.  This is expensive
because the hugepage must be split in the page fault handler, but it is
much better than unnecessarily oom killing a process.

edad9d2c33 mm, thp: allow fallback when pte_alloc_one() fails for huge pmd
The transparent hugepages feature is careful to not invoke the oom
killer when a hugepage cannot be allocated.

pte_alloc_one() failing in __do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page(), however,
currently results in VM_FAULT_OOM which invokes the pagefault oom killer
to kill a memory-hogging task.

This is unnecessary since it's possible to drop the reference to the
hugepage and fallback to allocating a small page.

025c5b2451 thp: optimize away unnecessary page table locking
Currently when we check if we can handle thp as it is or we need to split
it into regular sized pages, we hold page table lock prior to check
whether a given pmd is mapping thp or not.  Because of this, when it's not
"huge pmd" we suffer from unnecessary lock/unlock overhead.  To remove it,
this patch introduces a optimized check function and replace several
similar logics with it.

1c641e8471 mm: thp: fix BUG on mm->nr_ptes
Dave Jones reports a few Fedora users hitting the BUG_ON(mm->nr_ptes...)
in exit_mmap() recently.

Quoting Hugh's discovery and explanation of the SMP race condition:

  "mm->nr_ptes had unusual locking: down_read mmap_sem plus
   page_table_lock when incrementing, down_write mmap_sem (or mm_users
   0) when decrementing; whereas THP is careful to increment and
   decrement it under page_table_lock.

   Now most of those paths in THP also hold mmap_sem for read or write
   (with appropriate checks on mm_users), but two do not: when
   split_huge_page() is called by hwpoison_user_mappings(), and when
   called by add_to_swap().

   It's conceivable that the latter case is responsible for the
   exit_mmap() BUG_ON mm->nr_ptes that has been reported on Fedora."

The simplest way to fix it without having to alter the locking is to make
split_huge_page() a noop in nr_ptes terms, so by counting the preallocated
pagetables that exists for every mapped hugepage.  It was an arbitrary
choice not to count them and either way is not wrong or right, because
they are not used but they're still allocated.

12d2710786 memcg: fix split_huge_page_refcounts()
This patch started off as a cleanup: __split_huge_page_refcounts() has to
cope with two scenarios, when the hugepage being split is already on LRU,
and when it is not; but why does it have to split that accounting across
three different sites?  Consolidate it in lru_add_page_tail(), handling
evictable and unevictable alike, and use standard add_page_to_lru_list()
when accounting is needed (when the head is not yet on LRU).

But a recent regression in -next, I guess the removal of PageCgroupAcctLRU
test from mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup(), makes this now a necessary fix:
under load, the MEM_CGROUP_ZSTAT count was wrapping to a huge number,
messing up reclaim calculations and causing a freeze at rmdir of cgroup.

Add a VM_BUG_ON to mem_cgroup_lru_del_list() when we're about to wrap that
count - this has not been the only such incident.  Document that
lru_add_page_tail() is for Transparent HugePages by #ifdef around it.

f21760b15d thp: add tlb_remove_pmd_tlb_entry
We have tlb_remove_tlb_entry to indicate a pte tlb flush entry should be
flushed, but not a corresponding API for pmd entry.  This isn't a
problem so far because THP is only for x86 currently and tlb_flush()
under x86 will flush entire TLB.  But this is confusion and could be
missed if thp is ported to other arch.

Also convert tlb->need_flush = 1 to a VM_BUG_ON(!tlb->need_flush) in
__tlb_remove_page() as suggested by Andrea Arcangeli.  The
__tlb_remove_page() function is supposed to be called after
tlb_remove_xxx_tlb_entry() and we can catch any misuse.

e94c8a9cbc memcg: make mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() more efficient
In split_huge_page(), mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() is called to handle
page_cgroup modifcations.  It takes move_lock_page_cgroup() and modifies
page_cgroup and LRU accounting jobs and called HPAGE_PMD_SIZE - 1 times.

But thinking again,
  - compound_lock() is held at move_accout...then, it's not necessary
    to take move_lock_page_cgroup().
  - LRU is locked and all tail pages will go into the same LRU as
    head is now on.
  - page_cgroup is contiguous in huge page range.

This patch fixes mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() as to be called once per
hugepage and reduce costs for spliting.

1dfb059b94 thp: reduce khugepaged freezing latency
khugepaged can sometimes cause suspend to fail, requiring that the user
retry the suspend operation.

Use wait_event_freezable_timeout() instead of
schedule_timeout_interruptible() to avoid missing freezer wakeups.  A
try_to_freeze() would have been needed in the khugepaged_alloc_hugepage
tight loop too in case of the allocation failing repeatedly, and
wait_event_freezable_timeout will provide it too.

khugepaged would still freeze just fine by trying again the next minute
but it's better if it freezes immediately.

70b50f94f1 mm: thp: tail page refcounting fix
Michel while working on the working set estimation code, noticed that
calling get_page_unless_zero() on a random pfn_to_page(random_pfn)
wasn't safe, if the pfn ended up being a tail page of a transparent
hugepage under splitting by __split_huge_page_refcount().

He then found the problem could also theoretically materialize with
page_cache_get_speculative() during the speculative radix tree lookups
that uses get_page_unless_zero() in SMP if the radix tree page is freed
and reallocated and get_user_pages is called on it before
page_cache_get_speculative has a chance to call get_page_unless_zero().

So the best way to fix the problem is to keep page_tail->_count zero at
all times.  This will guarantee that get_page_unless_zero() can never
succeed on any tail page.  page_tail->_mapcount is guaranteed zero and
is unused for all tail pages of a compound page, so we can simply
account the tail page references there and transfer them to
tail_page->_count in __split_huge_page_refcount() (in addition to the
head_page->_mapcount).

While debugging this s/_count/_mapcount/ change I also noticed get_page is
called by direct-io.c on pages returned by get_user_pages.  That wasn't
entirely safe because the two atomic_inc in get_page weren't atomic.  As
opposed to other get_user_page users like secondary-MMU page fault to
establish the shadow pagetables would never call any superflous get_page
after get_user_page returns.  It's safer to make get_page universally safe
for tail pages and to use get_page_foll() within follow_page (inside
get_user_pages()).  get_page_foll() is safe to do the refcounting for tail
pages without taking any locks because it is run within PT lock protected
critical sections (PT lock for pte and page_table_lock for
pmd_trans_huge).

The standard get_page() as invoked by direct-io instead will now take
the compound_lock but still only for tail pages.  The direct-io paths
are usually I/O bound and the compound_lock is per THP so very
finegrined, so there's no risk of scalability issues with it.  A simple
direct-io benchmarks with all lockdep prove locking and spinlock
debugging infrastructure enabled shows identical performance and no
overhead.  So it's worth it.  Ideally direct-io should stop calling
get_page() on pages returned by get_user_pages().  The spinlock in
get_page() is already optimized away for no-THP builds but doing
get_page() on tail pages returned by GUP is generally a rare operation
and usually only run in I/O paths.

This new refcounting on page_tail->_mapcount in addition to avoiding new
RCU critical sections will also allow the working set estimation code to
work without any further complexity associated to the tail page
refcounting with THP.

35d8c7ad72 mm/huge_memory: fix typo when updating mmu cache
There are three cases of update_mmu_cache() in the file, and the case in
function collapse_huge_page() has a typo, namely the last parameter used,
which is corrected based on the other two cases.

Due to the define of update_mmu_cache by X86, the only arch that
implements THP currently, the change here has no really crystal point, but
one or two minutes of efforts could be saved for those archs that are
likely to support THP in future.

0089e4853a mm/huge_memory: fix copying user highpage
The THP copy-on-write handler falls back to regular-sized pages for a huge
page replacement upon allocation failure or if THP has been individually
disabled in the target VMA.  The loop responsible for copying page-sized
chunks accidentally uses multiples of PAGE_SHIFT instead of PAGE_SIZE as
the virtual address arg for copy_user_highpage().

THP off

usec 256416
usec 255981
usec 255847

With an older kernel without the mremap optimizations (the below patch
optimizes the non THP version too).

THP on

usec 392107
usec 390237
usec 404124

THP off

usec 444294
usec 445237
usec 445820

I guess with a threaded program that sends more IPI on large SMP it'd
create an even larger difference.

All debug options are off except DEBUG_VM to avoid skewing the
results.

The only problem for native 2M mremap like it happens above both the
source and destination address must be 2M aligned or the hugepmd can't be
moved without a split but that is an hardware limitation.
