mm: fix potential infinite loop in dissolve_free_huge_pages()
It is possible for some platforms, such as powerpc to set HPAGE_SHIFT to
0 to indicate huge pages not supported.
When this is the case, hugetlbfs could be disabled during boot time:
hugetlbfs: disabling because there are no supported hugepage sizes
Then in dissolve_free_huge_pages(), order is kept maximum (64 for
64bits), and the for loop below won't end: for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn <
end_pfn; pfn += 1 << order)
As suggested by Naoya, below fix checks hugepages_supported() before
calling dissolve_free_huge_pages().

mm, hugetlb: generalize writes to nr_hugepages
Three different interfaces alter the maximum number of hugepages for an
hstate:
- /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages for global number of hugepages of the default
hstate,
- /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-X/nr_hugepages for global number of
hugepages for a specific hstate, and
- /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-X/nr_hugepages/mempolicy for number of
hugepages for a specific hstate over the set of allowed nodes.
Generalize the code so that a single function handles all of these
writes instead of duplicating the code in two different functions.
This decreases the number of lines of code, but also reduces the size of
.text by about half a percent since set_max_huge_pages() can be inlined.

mm,hugetlb: simplify error handling in hugetlb_cow()
When returning from hugetlb_cow(), we always (1) put back the refcount
for each referenced page -- always 'old', and 'new' if allocation was
successful. And (2) retake the page table lock right before returning,
as the callers expects. This logic can be simplified and encapsulated,
as proposed in this patch. In addition to cleaner code, we also shave a
few bytes off the instruction text:

kexec: export free_huge_page to VMCOREINFO
PG_head_mask was added into VMCOREINFO to filter huge pages in b3acc56bfe1
("kexec: save PG_head_mask in VMCOREINFO"), but makedumpfile still need
another symbol to filter *hugetlbfs* pages.
If a user hope to filter user pages, makedumpfile tries to exclude them by
checking the condition whether the page is anonymous, but hugetlbfs pages
aren't anonymous while they also be user pages.
We know it's possible to detect them in the same way as PageHuge(),
so we need the start address of free_huge_page():
int PageHuge(struct page *page)
{
if (!PageCompound(page))
return 0;
page = compound_head(page);
return get_compound_page_dtor(page) == free_huge_page;
}
For that reason, this patch changes free_huge_page() into public
to export it to VMCOREINFO.

mm: hugetlb: fix copy_hugetlb_page_range()
Commit 4a705fef9862 ("hugetlb: fix copy_hugetlb_page_range() to handle
migration/hwpoisoned entry") changed the order of
huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() and huge_ptep_get(), which leads to breakage
in some workloads like hugepage-backed heap allocation via libhugetlbfs.
This patch fixes it.
The test program for the problem is shown below:
$ cat heap.c
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define HPS 0x200000
int main() {
int i;
char *p = malloc(HPS);
memset(p, '1', HPS);
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
if (!fork()) {
memset(p, '2', HPS);
p = malloc(HPS);
memset(p, '3', HPS);
free(p);
return 0;
}
}
sleep(1);
free(p);
return 0;
}
$ export HUGETLB_MORECORE=yes ; export HUGETLB_NO_PREFAULT= ; hugectl --heap ./heap
Fixes 4a705fef9862 ("hugetlb: fix copy_hugetlb_page_range() to handle
migration/hwpoisoned entry"), so is applicable to -stable kernels which

There's a race between fork() and hugepage migration, as a result we try

The cause of the problem is that copy_hugetlb_page_range() can't handle
"swap entry" family (migration entry and hwpoisoned entry) so let's fix
it.

hugetlb: add support for gigantic page allocation at runtime
HugeTLB is limited to allocating hugepages whose size are less than
MAX_ORDER order. This is so because HugeTLB allocates hugepages via the
buddy allocator. Gigantic pages (that is, pages whose size is greater
than MAX_ORDER order) have to be allocated at boottime.
However, boottime allocation has at least two serious problems. First,
it doesn't support NUMA and second, gigantic pages allocated at boottime
can't be freed.
This commit solves both issues by adding support for allocating gigantic
pages during runtime. It works just like regular sized hugepages,
meaning that the interface in sysfs is the same, it supports NUMA, and
gigantic pages can be freed.
For example, on x86_64 gigantic pages are 1GB big. To allocate two 1G
gigantic pages on node 1, one can do:
# echo 2 > \
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
And to free them all:
# echo 0 > \
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
The one problem with gigantic page allocation at runtime is that it
can't be serviced by the buddy allocator. To overcome that problem,
this commit scans all zones from a node looking for a large enough
contiguous region. When one is found, it's allocated by using CMA, that
is, we call alloc_contig_range() to do the actual allocation. For
example, on x86_64 we scan all zones looking for a 1GB contiguous
region. When one is found, it's allocated by alloc_contig_range().
One expected issue with that approach is that such gigantic contiguous
regions tend to vanish as runtime goes by. The best way to avoid this
for now is to make gigantic page allocations very early during system
boot, say from a init script. Other possible optimization include using
compaction, which is supported by CMA but is not explicitly used by this
commit.
It's also important to note the following:
1. Gigantic pages allocated at boottime by the hugepages= command-line
option can be freed at runtime just fine
2. This commit adds support for gigantic pages only to x86_64. The
reason is that I don't have access to nor experience with other archs.
The code is arch indepedent though, so it should be simple to add
support to different archs
3. I didn't add support for hugepage overcommit, that is allocating
a gigantic page on demand when
/proc/sys/vm/nr_overcommit_hugepages > 0. The reason is that I don't
think it's reasonable to do the hard and long work required for
allocating a gigantic page at fault time. But it should be simple
to add this if wanted

hugetlb: prep_compound_gigantic_page(): drop __init marker
The HugeTLB subsystem uses the buddy allocator to allocate hugepages
during runtime. This means that hugepages allocation during runtime is
limited to MAX_ORDER order. For archs supporting gigantic pages (that
is, page sizes greater than MAX_ORDER), this in turn means that those
pages can't be allocated at runtime.
HugeTLB supports gigantic page allocation during boottime, via the boot
allocator. To this end the kernel provides the command-line options
hugepagesz= and hugepages=, which can be used to instruct the kernel to
allocate N gigantic pages during boot.
For example, x86_64 supports 2M and 1G hugepages, but only 2M hugepages
can be allocated and freed at runtime. If one wants to allocate 1G
gigantic pages, this has to be done at boot via the hugepagesz= and
hugepages= command-line options.
Now, gigantic page allocation at boottime has two serious problems:
1. Boottime allocation is not NUMA aware. On a NUMA machine the kernel
evenly distributes boottime allocated hugepages among nodes.
For example, suppose you have a four-node NUMA machine and want
to allocate four 1G gigantic pages at boottime. The kernel will
allocate one gigantic page per node.
On the other hand, we do have users who want to be able to specify
which NUMA node gigantic pages should allocated from. So that they
can place virtual machines on a specific NUMA node.
2. Gigantic pages allocated at boottime can't be freed
At this point it's important to observe that regular hugepages allocated
at runtime don't have those problems. This is so because HugeTLB
interface for runtime allocation in sysfs supports NUMA and runtime
allocated pages can be freed just fine via the buddy allocator.
This series adds support for allocating gigantic pages at runtime. It
does so by allocating gigantic pages via CMA instead of the buddy
allocator. Releasing gigantic pages is also supported via CMA. As this
series builds on top of the existing HugeTLB interface, it makes gigantic
page allocation and releasing just like regular sized hugepages. This
also means that NUMA support just works.
For example, to allocate two 1G gigantic pages on node 1, one can do:
# echo 2 > \
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
And, to release all gigantic pages on the same node:
# echo 0 > \
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
Please, refer to patch 5/5 for full technical details.
Finally, please note that this series is a follow up for a previous series
that tried to extend the command-line options set to be NUMA aware:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=139593335312191&w=2
During the discussion of that series it was agreed that having runtime
allocation support for gigantic pages was a better solution.
This patch (of 5):
This function is going to be used by non-init code in a future
commit.

hugetlb: ensure hugepage access is denied if hugepages are not supported
Currently, I am seeing the following when I `mount -t hugetlbfs /none
/dev/hugetlbfs`, and then simply do a `ls /dev/hugetlbfs`. I think it's
related to the fact that hugetlbfs is properly not correctly setting
itself up in this state?:
Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000031
Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000245710
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries
....
In KVM guests on Power, in a guest not backed by hugepages, we see the
following:
AnonHugePages: 0 kB
HugePages_Total: 0
HugePages_Free: 0
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
HugePages_Surp: 0
Hugepagesize: 64 kB
HPAGE_SHIFT == 0 in this configuration, which indicates that hugepages
are not supported at boot-time, but this is only checked in
hugetlb_init(). Extract the check to a helper function, and use it in a
few relevant places.
This does make hugetlbfs not supported (not registered at all) in this
environment. I believe this is fine, as there are no valid hugepages
and that won't change at runtime.

mm: hugetlb: fix softlockup when a large number of hugepages are freed.
When I decrease the value of nr_hugepage in procfs a lot, softlockup
happens. It is because there is no chance of context switch during this
process.
On the other hand, when I allocate a large number of hugepages, there is
some chance of context switch. Hence softlockup doesn't happen during
this process. So it's necessary to add the context switch in the
freeing process as same as allocating process to avoid softlockup.
When I freed 12 TB hugapages with kernel-2.6.32-358.el6, the freeing
process occupied a CPU over 150 seconds and following softlockup message
appeared twice or more.
$ echo 6000000 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages

I have not confirmed this problem with upstream kernels because I am not
able to prepare the machine equipped with 12TB memory now. However I
confirmed that the amount of decreasing hugepages was directly
proportional to the amount of required time.
I measured required times on a smaller machine. It showed 130-145
hugepages decreased in a millisecond.
Amount of decreasing Required time Decreasing rate
hugepages (msec) (pages/msec)
------------------------------------------------------------
10,000 pages == 20GB 70 - 74 135-142
30,000 pages == 60GB 208 - 229 131-144
It means decrement of 6TB hugepages will trigger softlockup with the
default threshold 20sec, in this decreasing rate.

mm: move mmu notifier call from change_protection to change_pmd_range
The NUMA scanning code can end up iterating over many gigabytes of
unpopulated memory, especially in the case of a freshly started KVM
guest with lots of memory.
This results in the mmu notifier code being called even when there are
no mapped pages in a virtual address range. The amount of time wasted
can be enough to trigger soft lockup warnings with very large KVM
guests.
This patch moves the mmu notifier call to the pmd level, which
represents 1GB areas of memory on x86-64. Furthermore, the mmu notifier
code is only called from the address in the PMD where present mappings
are first encountered.
The hugetlbfs code is left alone for now; hugetlb mappings are not
relocatable, and as such are left alone by the NUMA code, and should
never trigger this problem to begin with.

mm, hugetlb: improve page-fault scalability
The kernel can currently only handle a single hugetlb page fault at a
time. This is due to a single mutex that serializes the entire path.
This lock protects from spurious OOM errors under conditions of low
availability of free hugepages. This problem is specific to hugepages,
because it is normal to want to use every single hugepage in the system
- with normal pages we simply assume there will always be a few spare
pages which can be used temporarily until the race is resolved.
Address this problem by using a table of mutexes, allowing a better
chance of parallelization, where each hugepage is individually
serialized. The hash key is selected depending on the mapping type.
For shared ones it consists of the address space and file offset being
faulted; while for private ones the mm and virtual address are used.
The size of the table is selected based on a compromise of collisions
and memory footprint of a series of database workloads.
Large database workloads that make heavy use of hugepages can be
particularly exposed to this issue, causing start-up times to be
painfully slow. This patch reduces the startup time of a 10 Gb Oracle
DB (with ~5000 faults) from 37.5 secs to 25.7 secs. Larger workloads
will naturally benefit even more.
NOTE:
The only downside to this patch, detected by Joonsoo Kim, is that a
small race is possible in private mappings: A child process (with its
own mm, after cow) can instantiate a page that is already being handled
by the parent in a cow fault. When low on pages, can trigger spurious
OOMs. I have not been able to think of a efficient way of handling
this... but do we really care about such a tiny window? We already
maintain another theoretical race with normal pages. If not, one
possible way to is to maintain the single hash for private mappings --
any workloads that *really* suffer from this scaling problem should
already use shared mappings.

mm, hugetlb: fix race in region tracking
There is a race condition if we map a same file on different processes.
Region tracking is protected by mmap_sem and hugetlb_instantiation_mutex.
When we do mmap, we don't grab a hugetlb_instantiation_mutex, but only
mmap_sem (exclusively). This doesn't prevent other tasks from modifying
the region structure, so it can be modified by two processes
concurrently.
To solve this, introduce a spinlock to resv_map and make region
manipulation function grab it before they do actual work.

mm, hugetlb: unify region structure handling
Currently, to track reserved and allocated regions, we use two different
ways, depending on the mapping. For MAP_SHARED, we use
address_mapping's private_list and, while for MAP_PRIVATE, we use a
resv_map.
Now, we are preparing to change a coarse grained lock which protect a
region structure to fine grained lock, and this difference hinder it.
So, before changing it, unify region structure handling, consistently
using a resv_map regardless of the kind of mapping.

mm: optimize put_mems_allowed() usage
Since put_mems_allowed() is strictly optional, its a seqcount retry, we
don't need to evaluate the function if the allocation was in fact
successful, saving a smp_rmb some loads and comparisons on some relative
fast-paths.
Since the naming, get/put_mems_allowed() does suggest a mandatory
pairing, rename the interface, as suggested by Mel, to resemble the
seqcount interface.
This gives us: read_mems_allowed_begin() and read_mems_allowed_retry(),
where it is important to note that the return value of the latter call
is inverted from its previous incarnation.

mm: dump page when hitting a VM_BUG_ON using VM_BUG_ON_PAGE
Most of the VM_BUG_ON assertions are performed on a page. Usually, when
one of these assertions fails we'll get a BUG_ON with a call stack and
the registers.
I've recently noticed based on the requests to add a small piece of code
that dumps the page to various VM_BUG_ON sites that the page dump is
quite useful to people debugging issues in mm.
This patch adds a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(cond, page) which beyond doing what
VM_BUG_ON() does, also dumps the page before executing the actual
BUG_ON.

split_huge_page runs during PageHuge() if there are updates to the
tail_page->private field.
Also it is repeating compound_head twice for hugetlbfs and it is running
compound_head+compound_trans_head for THP when a single one is needed in
both cases.
The new code within the PageSlab() check doesn't need to verify that the
THP page size is never bigger than the smallest hugetlbfs page size, to
avoid memory corruption.
A longstanding theoretical race condition was found while fixing the
above (see the change right after the skip_unlock label, that is
relevant for the compound_lock path too).
By re-establishing the _mapcount tail refcounting for all compound
pages, this also fixes the below problem:

mm: thp: give transparent hugepage code a separate copy_page
Right now, the migration code in migrate_page_copy() uses copy_huge_page()
for hugetlbfs and thp pages:
if (PageHuge(page) || PageTransHuge(page))
copy_huge_page(newpage, page);
So, yay for code reuse. But:
void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src)
{
struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src);
and a non-hugetlbfs page has no page_hstate(). This works 99% of the
time because page_hstate() determines the hstate from the page order
alone. Since the page order of a THP page matches the default hugetlbfs
page order, it works.
But, if you change the default huge page size on the boot command-line
(say default_hugepagesz=1G), then we might not even *have* a 2MB hstate
so page_hstate() returns null and copy_huge_page() oopses pretty fast
since copy_huge_page() dereferences the hstate:
void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src)
{
struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src);
if (unlikely(pages_per_huge_page(h) > MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES)) {
...
Mel noticed that the migration code is really the only user of these
functions. This moves all the copy code over to migrate.c and makes
copy_huge_page() work for THP by checking for it explicitly.
I believe the bug was introduced in commit b32967ff101a ("mm: numa: Add
THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case")

mm: hugetlb: initialize PG_reserved for tail pages of gigantic compound pages
Commit 11feeb498086 ("kvm: optimize away THP checks in
kvm_is_mmio_pfn()") introduced a memory leak when KVM is run on gigantic
compound pages.
That commit depends on the assumption that PG_reserved is identical for
all head and tail pages of a compound page. So that if get_user_pages
returns a tail page, we don't need to check the head page in order to
know if we deal with a reserved page that requires different
refcounting.
The assumption that PG_reserved is the same for head and tail pages is
certainly correct for THP and regular hugepages, but gigantic hugepages
allocated through bootmem don't clear the PG_reserved on the tail pages
(the clearing of PG_reserved is done later only if the gigantic hugepage
is freed).
This patch corrects the gigantic compound page initialization so that we
can retain the optimization in 11feeb498086. The cacheline was already
modified in order to set PG_tail so this won't affect the boot time of
large memory systems.

mm/hugetlb.c: correct missing private flag clearing
We should clear the page's private flag when returing the page to the
hugepage pool. Otherwise, marked hugepage can be allocated to the user
who tries to allocate the non-reserved hugepage. If this user fail to
map this hugepage, he would try to return the page to the hugepage pool.
Since this page has a private flag, resv_huge_pages would mistakenly
increase. This patch fixes this situation.

migratable hugepages from ZONE_MOVABLE if possible.
This patch makes GFP flags in hugepage allocation dependent on migration
support, not only the value of hugepages_treat_as_movable. It provides no
change on the behavior for architectures which do not support hugepage
migration,

mm: memory-hotplug: enable memory hotplug to handle hugepage
Until now we can't offline memory blocks which contain hugepages because a
hugepage is considered as an unmovable page. But now with this patch
series, a hugepage has become movable, so by using hugepage migration we
can offline such memory blocks.
What's different from other users of hugepage migration is that we need to
decompose all the hugepages inside the target memory block into free buddy
pages after hugepage migration, because otherwise free hugepages remaining
in the memory block intervene the memory offlining. For this reason we
introduce new functions dissolve_free_huge_page() and
dissolve_free_huge_pages().
Other than that, what this patch does is straightforwardly to add hugepage
migration code, that is, adding hugepage code to the functions which scan
over pfn and collect hugepages to be migrated, and adding a hugepage
allocation function to alloc_migrate_target().
As for larger hugepages (1GB for x86_64), it's not easy to do hotremove
over them because it's larger than memory block. So we now simply leave
it to fail as it is.

mm: migrate: make core migration code aware of hugepage
Currently hugepage migration is available only for soft offlining, but
it's also useful for some other users of page migration (clearly because
users of hugepage can enjoy the benefit of mempolicy and memory hotplug.)
So this patchset tries to extend such users to support hugepage migration.
The target of this patchset is to enable hugepage migration for NUMA
related system calls (migrate_pages(2), move_pages(2), and mbind(2)), and
memory hotplug.
This patchset does not add hugepage migration for memory compaction,
because users of memory compaction mainly expect to construct thp by
arranging raw pages, and there's little or no need to compact hugepages.
CMA, another user of page migration, can have benefit from hugepage
migration, but is not enabled to support it for now (just because of lack
of testing and expertise in CMA.)
Hugepage migration of non pmd-based hugepage (for example 1GB hugepage in
x86_64, or hugepages in architectures like ia64) is not enabled for now
(again, because of lack of testing.)
As for how these are achived, I extended the API (migrate_pages()) to
handle hugepage (with patch 1 and 2) and adjusted code of each caller to
check and collect movable hugepages (with patch 3-7). Remaining 2 patches
are kind of miscellaneous ones to avoid unexpected behavior. Patch 8 is
about making sure that we only migrate pmd-based hugepages. And patch 9
is about choosing appropriate zone for hugepage allocation.
My test is mainly functional one, simply kicking hugepage migration via
each entry point and confirm that migration is done correctly. Test code
is available here:
git://github.com/Naoya-Horiguchi/test_hugepage_migration_extension.git
And I always run libhugetlbfs test when changing hugetlbfs's code. With
this patchset, no regression was found in the test.
This patch (of 9):
Before enabling each user of page migration to support hugepage,
this patch enables the list of pages for migration to link not only
LRU pages, but also hugepages. As a result, putback_movable_pages()
and migrate_pages() can handle both of LRU pages and hugepages.

mm, hugetlb: return a reserved page to a reserved pool if failed
If we fail with a reserved page, just calling put_page() is not
sufficient, because put_page() invoke free_huge_page() at last step and it
doesn't know whether a page comes from a reserved pool or not. So it
doesn't do anything related to reserved count. This makes reserve count
lower than how we need, because reserve count already decrease in
dequeue_huge_page_vma(). This patch fix this situation.

mm, hugetlb: decrement reserve count if VM_NORESERVE alloc page cache
If a vma with VM_NORESERVE allocate a new page for page cache, we should
check whether this area is reserved or not. If this address is already
reserved by other process(in case of chg == 0), we should decrement
reserve count, because this allocated page will go into page cache and
currently, there is no way to know that this page comes from reserved pool
or not when releasing inode. This may introduce over-counting problem to
reserved count. With following example code, you can easily reproduce
this situation.
Assume 2MB, nr_hugepages = 100
size = 20 * MB;
flag = MAP_SHARED;
p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0);
if (p == MAP_FAILED) {
fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno));
return -1;
}
flag = MAP_SHARED | MAP_NORESERVE;
q = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0);
if (q == MAP_FAILED) {
fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno));
}
q[0] = 'c';
After finish the program, run 'cat /proc/meminfo'. You can see below
result.
HugePages_Free: 100
HugePages_Rsvd: 1
To fix this, we should check our mapping type and tracked region. If our
mapping is VM_NORESERVE, VM_MAYSHARE and chg is 0, this imply that current
allocated page will go into page cache which is already reserved region
when mapping is created. In this case, we should decrease reserve count.
As implementing above, this patch solve the problem.

mm, hugetlb: remove decrement_hugepage_resv_vma()
Now, Checking condition of decrement_hugepage_resv_vma() and
vma_has_reserves() is same, so we can clean-up this function with
vma_has_reserves(). Additionally, decrement_hugepage_resv_vma() has only
one call site, so we can remove function and embed it into
dequeue_huge_page_vma() directly. This patch implement it.

mm, hugetlb: add VM_NORESERVE check in vma_has_reserves()
If we map the region with MAP_NORESERVE and MAP_SHARED, we can skip to
check reserve counting and eventually we cannot be ensured to allocate a
huge page in fault time. With following example code, you can easily find
this situation.
Assume 2MB, nr_hugepages = 100
fd = hugetlbfs_unlinked_fd();
if (fd < 0)
return 1;
size = 200 * MB;
flag = MAP_SHARED;
p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0);
if (p == MAP_FAILED) {
fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno));
return -1;
}
size = 2 * MB;
flag = MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED | MAP_HUGETLB | MAP_NORESERVE;
p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, -1, 0);
if (p == MAP_FAILED) {
fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno));
}
p[0] = '0';
sleep(10);
During executing sleep(10), run 'cat /proc/meminfo' on another process.
HugePages_Free: 99
HugePages_Rsvd: 100
Number of free should be higher or equal than number of reserve, but this
aren't. This represent that non reserved shared mapping steal a reserved
page. Non reserved shared mapping should not eat into reserve space.
If we consider VM_NORESERVE in vma_has_reserve() and return 0 which mean
that we don't have reserved pages, then we check that we have enough free
pages in dequeue_huge_page_vma(). This prevent to steal a reserved page.
With this change, above test generate a SIGBUG which is correct, because
all free pages are reserved and non reserved shared mapping can't get a
free page.

mm, hugetlb: do not use a page in page cache for cow optimization
Currently, we use a page with mapped count 1 in page cache for cow
optimization. If we find this condition, we don't allocate a new page and
copy contents. Instead, we map this page directly. This may introduce a
problem that writting to private mapping overwrite hugetlb file directly.
You can find this situation with following code.
size = 20 * MB;
flag = MAP_SHARED;
p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0);
if (p == MAP_FAILED) {
fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno));
return -1;
}
p[0] = 's';
fprintf(stdout, "BEFORE STEAL PRIVATE WRITE: %c\n", p[0]);
munmap(p, size);
flag = MAP_PRIVATE;
p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0);
if (p == MAP_FAILED) {
fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno));
}
p[0] = 'c';
munmap(p, size);
flag = MAP_SHARED;
p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0);
if (p == MAP_FAILED) {
fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno));
return -1;
}
fprintf(stdout, "AFTER STEAL PRIVATE WRITE: %c\n", p[0]);
munmap(p, size);
We can see that "AFTER STEAL PRIVATE WRITE: c", not "AFTER STEAL PRIVATE
WRITE: s". If we turn off this optimization to a page in page cache, the
problem is disappeared.
So, I change the trigger condition of optimization. If this page is not
AnonPage, we don't do optimization. This makes this optimization turning
off for a page cache.

Current node iteration code have a minor problem which do one more node
rotation if we can't succeed to allocate. For example, if we start to
allocate at node 0, we stop to iterate at node 0. Then we start to
allocate at node 1 for next allocation.

Fix TLB gather virtual address range invalidation corner cases
Ben Tebulin reported:
"Since v3.7.2 on two independent machines a very specific Git
repository fails in 9/10 cases on git-fsck due to an SHA1/memory
failures. This only occurs on a very specific repository and can be
reproduced stably on two independent laptops. Git mailing list ran
out of ideas and for me this looks like some very exotic kernel issue"
and bisected the failure to the backport of commit 53a59fc67f97 ("mm:
limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPT").
That commit itself is not actually buggy, but what it does is to make it
much more likely to hit the partial TLB invalidation case, since it
introduces a new case in tlb_next_batch() that previously only ever
happened when running out of memory.
The real bug is that the TLB gather virtual memory range setup is subtly
buggered. It was introduced in commit 597e1c3580b7 ("mm/mmu_gather:
enable tlb flush range in generic mmu_gather"), and the range handling
was already fixed at least once in commit e6c495a96ce0 ("mm: fix the TLB
range flushed when __tlb_remove_page() runs out of slots"), but that fix
was not complete.
The problem with the TLB gather virtual address range is that it isn't
set up by the initial tlb_gather_mmu() initialization (which didn't get
the TLB range information), but it is set up ad-hoc later by the
functions that actually flush the TLB. And so any such case that forgot
to update the TLB range entries would potentially miss TLB invalidates.
Rather than try to figure out exactly which particular ad-hoc range
setup was missing (I personally suspect it's the hugetlb case in
zap_huge_pmd(), which didn't have the same logic as zap_pte_range()
did), this patch just gets rid of the problem at the source: make the
TLB range information available to tlb_gather_mmu(), and initialize it
when initializing all the other tlb gather fields.
This makes the patch larger, but conceptually much simpler. And the end
result is much more understandable; even if you want to play games with
partial ranges when invalidating the TLB contents in chunks, now the
range information is always there, and anybody who doesn't want to
bother with it won't introduce subtle bugs.
Ben verified that this fixes his problem.

This patch also fixes two bugs:
1) enhances virtio_balloon driver to adjust totalhigh_pages when
reserve/unreserve pages.
2) enhance memory_hotplug.c to adjust totalhigh_pages when hot-removing

futex: Take hugepages into account when generating futex_key
The futex_keys of process shared futexes are generated from the page
offset, the mapping host and the mapping index of the futex user space
address. This should result in an unique identifier for each futex.
Though this is not true when futexes are located in different subpages
of an hugepage. The reason is, that the mapping index for all those
futexes evaluates to the index of the base page of the hugetlbfs
mapping. So a futex at offset 0 of the hugepage mapping and another
one at offset PAGE_SIZE of the same hugepage mapping have identical
futex_keys. This happens because the futex code blindly uses
page->index.
Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. Map a file from hugetlbfs. Initialize pthread_mutex1 at offset 0
and pthread_mutex2 at offset PAGE_SIZE of the hugetlbfs
mapping.
The mutexes must be initialized as PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED because
PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE mutexes are not affected by this issue as
their keys solely depend on the user space address.
2. Lock mutex1 and mutex2
3. Create thread1 and in the thread function lock mutex1, which
results in thread1 blocking on the locked mutex1.
4. Create thread2 and in the thread function lock mutex2, which
results in thread2 blocking on the locked mutex2.
5. Unlock mutex2. Despite the fact that mutex2 got unlocked, thread2
still blocks on mutex2 because the futex_key points to mutex1.
To solve this issue we need to take the normal page index of the page
which contains the futex into account, if the futex is in an hugetlbfs
mapping. In other words, we calculate the normal page mapping index of
the subpage in the hugetlbfs mapping.
Mappings which are not based on hugetlbfs are not affected and still
use page->index.
Thanks to Mel Gorman who provided a patch for adding proper evaluation
functions to the hugetlbfs code to avoid exposing hugetlbfs specific
details to the futex code.

mm: hugetlb: Copy general hugetlb code from x86 to mm.
The huge_pte_alloc, huge_pte_offset and follow_huge_p[mu]d
functions in x86/mm/hugetlbpage.c do not rely on any architecture
specific knowledge other than the fact that pmds and puds can be
treated as huge ptes.
To allow other architectures to use this code (and reduce the need
for code duplication), this patch copies these functions into mm,
replaces the use of pud_large with pud_huge and provides a config
flag to activate them:
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETLB
If CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE is also active then the
huge_pmd_share code will be called by huge_pte_alloc (othewise we
call pmd_alloc and skip the sharing code).

mm: hugetlb: Copy huge_pmd_share from x86 to mm.
Under x86, multiple puds can be made to reference the same bank of
huge pmds provided that they represent a full PUD_SIZE of shared
huge memory that is aligned to a PUD_SIZE boundary.
The code to share pmds does not require any architecture specific
knowledge other than the fact that pmds can be indexed, thus can
be beneficial to some other architectures.
This patch copies the huge pmd sharing (and unsharing) logic from
x86/ to mm/ and introduces a new config option to activate it:

mm: migration: add migrate_entry_wait_huge()
When we have a page fault for the address which is backed by a hugepage
under migration, the kernel can't wait correctly and do busy looping on
hugepage fault until the migration finishes. As a result, users who try
to kick hugepage migration (via soft offlining, for example) occasionally
experience long delay or soft lockup.
This is because pte_offset_map_lock() can't get a correct migration entry
or a correct page table lock for hugepage. This patch introduces
migration_entry_wait_huge() to solve this.

mm, hugetlb: include hugepages in meminfo
Particularly in oom conditions, it's troublesome that hugetlb memory is
not displayed. All other meminfo that is emitted will not add up to
what is expected, and there is no artifact left in the kernel log to
show that a potentially significant amount of memory is actually
allocated as hugepages which are not available to be reclaimed.
Booting with hugepages=8192 on the command line, this memory is now
shown in oom conditions. For example, with echo m >
/proc/sysrq-trigger:
Node 0 hugepages_total=2048 hugepages_free=2048 hugepages_surp=0 hugepages_size=2048kB
Node 1 hugepages_total=2048 hugepages_free=2048 hugepages_surp=0 hugepages_size=2048kB

mm/hugetlb: add more arch-defined huge_pte functions
Commit abf09bed3cce ("s390/mm: implement software dirty bits")
introduced another difference in the pte layout vs. the pmd layout on
s390, thoroughly breaking the s390 support for hugetlbfs. This requires
replacing some more pte_xxx functions in mm/hugetlbfs.c with a
huge_pte_xxx version.
This patch introduces those huge_pte_xxx functions and their generic
implementation in asm-generic/hugetlb.h, which will now be included on
all architectures supporting hugetlbfs apart from s390. This change
will be a no-op for those architectures.

hugetlbfs: add swap entry check in follow_hugetlb_page()
With applying the previous patch "hugetlbfs: stop setting VM_DONTDUMP in
initializing vma(VM_HUGETLB)" to reenable hugepage coredump, if a memory
error happens on a hugepage and the affected processes try to access the
error hugepage, we hit VM_BUG_ON(atomic_read(&page->_count) <= 0) in
get_page().
The reason for this bug is that coredump-related code doesn't recognise
"hugepage hwpoison entry" with which a pmd entry is replaced when a memory
error occurs on a hugepage.
In other words, physical address information is stored in different bit
layout between hugepage hwpoison entry and pmd entry, so
follow_hugetlb_page() which is called in get_dump_page() returns a wrong
page from a given address.
The expected behavior is like this:
absent is_swap_pte FOLL_DUMP Expected behavior
-------------------------------------------------------------------
true false false hugetlb_fault
false true false hugetlb_fault
false false false return page
true false true skip page (to avoid allocation)
false true true hugetlb_fault
false false true return page
With this patch, we can call hugetlb_fault() and take proper actions (we
wait for migration entries, fail with VM_FAULT_HWPOISON_LARGE for
hwpoisoned entries,) and as the result we can dump all hugepages except
for hwpoisoned ones.

mm/hugetlb: fix total hugetlbfs pages count when using memory overcommit accouting
hugetlb_total_pages is used for overcommit calculations but the current
implementation considers only the default hugetlb page size (which is
either the first defined hugepage size or the one specified by
default_hugepagesz kernel boot parameter).
If the system is configured for more than one hugepage size, which is
possible since commit a137e1cc6d6e ("hugetlbfs: per mount huge page
sizes") then the overcommit estimation done by __vm_enough_memory()
(resp. shown by meminfo_proc_show) is not precise - there is an
impression of more available/allowed memory. This can lead to an
unexpected ENOMEM/EFAULT resp. SIGSEGV when memory is accounted.
Testcase:
boot: hugepagesz=1G hugepages=1
the default overcommit ratio is 50
before patch:
egrep 'CommitLimit' /proc/meminfo
CommitLimit: 55434168 kB
after patch:
egrep 'CommitLimit' /proc/meminfo
CommitLimit: 54909880 kB

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).

hugetlb: do not use vma_hugecache_offset() for vma_prio_tree_foreach
Commit 0c176d52b0b2 ("mm: hugetlb: fix pgoff computation when unmapping
page from vma") fixed pgoff calculation but it has replaced it by
vma_hugecache_offset() which is not approapriate for offsets used for
vma_prio_tree_foreach() because that one expects index in page units
rather than in huge_page_shift.
Johannes said:
: The resulting index may not be too big, but it can be too small: assume
: hpage size of 2M and the address to unmap to be 0x200000. This is regular
: page index 512 and hpage index 1. If you have a VMA that maps the file
: only starting at the second huge page, that VMAs vm_pgoff will be 512 but
: you ask for offset 1 and miss it even though it does map the page of
: interest. hugetlb_cow() will try to unmap, miss the vma, and retry the
: cow until the allocation succeeds or the skipped vma(s) go away.

mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree
Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree. The
algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be
directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the
VMA. So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the
details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are
filled in using the C preprocessor.
Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a
replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

mm: hugetlb: add arch hook for clearing page flags before entering pool
The core page allocator ensures that page flags are zeroed when freeing
pages via free_pages_check. A number of architectures (ARM, PPC, MIPS)
rely on this property to treat new pages as dirty with respect to the data
cache and perform the appropriate flushing before mapping the pages into
userspace.
This can lead to cache synchronisation problems when using hugepages,
since the allocator keeps its own pool of pages above the usual page
allocator and does not reset the page flags when freeing a page into the
pool.
This patch adds a new architecture hook, arch_clear_hugepage_flags, so
that architectures which rely on the page flags being in a particular
state for fresh allocations can adjust the flags accordingly when a page
is freed into the pool.

mm: hugetlbfs: close race during teardown of hugetlbfs shared page tables
If a process creates a large hugetlbfs mapping that is eligible for page
table sharing and forks heavily with children some of whom fault and
others which destroy the mapping then it is possible for page tables to
get corrupted. Some teardowns of the mapping encounter a "bad pmd" and
output a message to the kernel log. The final teardown will trigger a
BUG_ON in mm/filemap.c.
This was reproduced in 3.4 but is known to have existed for a long time
and goes back at least as far as 2.6.37. It was probably was introduced
in 2.6.20 by [39dde65c: shared page table for hugetlb page]. The messages
look like this;

The bug is a race and not always easy to reproduce. To reproduce it I was
doing the following on a single socket I7-based machine with 16G of RAM.
$ hugeadm --pool-pages-max DEFAULT:13G
$ echo $((18*1048576*1024)) > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
$ echo $((18*1048576*1024)) > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
$ for i in `seq 1 9000`; do ./hugetlbfs-test; done
On my particular machine, it usually triggers within 10 minutes but
enabling debug options can change the timing such that it never hits.
Once the bug is triggered, the machine is in trouble and needs to be
rebooted. The machine will respond but processes accessing proc like "ps
aux" will hang due to the BUG_ON. shutdown will also hang and needs a
hard reset or a sysrq-b.
The basic problem is a race between page table sharing and teardown. For
the most part page table sharing depends on i_mmap_mutex. In some cases,
it is also taking the mm->page_table_lock for the PTE updates but with
shared page tables, it is the i_mmap_mutex that is more important.
Unfortunately it appears to be also insufficient. Consider the following
situation
Process A Process B
--------- ---------
hugetlb_fault shmdt
LockWrite(mmap_sem)
do_munmap
unmap_region
unmap_vmas
unmap_single_vma
unmap_hugepage_range
Lock(i_mmap_mutex)
Lock(mm->page_table_lock)
huge_pmd_unshare/unmap tables <--- (1)
Unlock(mm->page_table_lock)
Unlock(i_mmap_mutex)
huge_pte_alloc ...
Lock(i_mmap_mutex) ...
vma_prio_walk, find svma, spte ...
Lock(mm->page_table_lock) ...
share spte ...
Unlock(mm->page_table_lock) ...
Unlock(i_mmap_mutex) ...
hugetlb_no_page <--- (2)
free_pgtables
unlink_file_vma
hugetlb_free_pgd_range
remove_vma_list
In this scenario, it is possible for Process A to share page tables with
Process B that is trying to tear them down. The i_mmap_mutex on its own
does not prevent Process A walking Process B's page tables. At (1) above,
the page tables are not shared yet so it unmaps the PMDs. Process A sets
up page table sharing and at (2) faults a new entry. Process B then trips
up on it in free_pgtables.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a new function
__unmap_hugepage_range_final that is only called when the VMA is about to
be destroyed. This function clears VM_MAYSHARE during
unmap_hugepage_range() under the i_mmap_mutex. This makes the VMA
ineligible for sharing and avoids the race. Superficially this looks like
it would then be vunerable to truncate and madvise issues but hugetlbfs
has its own truncate handlers so does not use unmap_mapping_range() and
does not support madvise(DONTNEED).
This should be treated as a -stable candidate if it is merged.
Test program is as follows. The test case was mostly written by Michal
Hocko with a few minor changes to reproduce this bug.

hugetlb: rename max_hstate to hugetlb_max_hstate
This patchset implements a cgroup resource controller for HugeTLB pages.
The controller allows to limit the HugeTLB usage per control group and
enforces the controller limit during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies that,
the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access HugeTLB pages
beyond its limit. This requires the application to know beforehand how
much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use.
The goal is to control how many HugeTLB pages a group of task can
allocate. It can be looked at as an extension of the existing quota
interface which limits the number of HugeTLB pages per hugetlbfs
superblock. HPC job scheduler requires jobs to specify their resource
requirements in the job file. Once their requirements can be met, job
schedulers like (SLURM) will schedule the job. We need to make sure that
the jobs won't consume more resources than requested. If they do we
should either error out or kill the application.
This patch:
Rename max_hstate to hugetlb_max_hstate. We will be using this from other
subsystems like hugetlb controller in later patches.

hugetlb: fix resv_map leak in error path
When called for anonymous (non-shared) mappings, hugetlb_reserve_pages()
does a resv_map_alloc(). It depends on code in hugetlbfs's
vm_ops->close() to release that allocation.
However, in the mmap() failure path, we do a plain unmap_region() without
the remove_vma() which actually calls vm_ops->close().
This is a decent fix. This leak could get reintroduced if new code (say,
after hugetlb_reserve_pages() in hugetlbfs_file_mmap()) decides to return
an error. But, I think it would have to unroll the reservation anyway.

The tile support for multiple-size huge pages requires tagging
the hugetlb PTE with a "super" bit for PTEs that are multiples of

we need to tweak the PTe in make_huge_pte() based on the vma.
This change provides the API for a subsequent tile-specific

hugetlb: prevent BUG_ON in hugetlb_fault() -> hugetlb_cow()
Commit 66aebce747eaf ("hugetlb: fix race condition in hugetlb_fault()")
added code to avoid a race condition by elevating the page refcount in
hugetlb_fault() while calling hugetlb_cow().
However, one code path in hugetlb_cow() includes an assertion that the
page count is 1, whereas it may now also have the value 2 in this path.
The consensus is that this BUG_ON has served its purpose, so rather than
extending it to cover both cases, we just remove it.

hugetlb: fix race condition in hugetlb_fault()
The race is as follows:
Suppose a multi-threaded task forks a new process (on cpu A), thus
bumping up the ref count on all the pages. While the fork is occurring
(and thus we have marked all the PTEs as read-only), another thread in
the original process (on cpu B) tries to write to a huge page, taking an
access violation from the write-protect and calling hugetlb_cow(). Now,
suppose the fork() fails. It will undo the COW and decrement the ref
count on the pages, so the ref count on the huge page drops back to 1.
Meanwhile hugetlb_cow() also decrements the ref count by one on the
original page, since the original address space doesn't need it any
more, having copied a new page to replace the original page. This
leaves the ref count at zero, and when we call unlock_page(), we panic.
fork on CPU A fault on CPU B
============= ==============
...

down_write_nested(&child->mmap_sem);
...
while duplicating vmas
if error
break;
...
up_write(&child->mmap_sem);
up_write(&parent->mmap_sem); ...

...

put_page(page);
...
fold new_page into pte
page_remove_rmap(page);
put_page(page);
...
oops ==> unlock_page(page);
up_read(&parent->mmap_sem);
The solution is to take an extra reference to the page while we are
holding the lock on it.

hugepages: fix use after free bug in "quota" handling
hugetlbfs_{get,put}_quota() are badly named. They don't interact with the
general quota handling code, and they don't much resemble its behaviour.
Rather than being about maintaining limits on on-disk block usage by
particular users, they are instead about maintaining limits on in-memory
page usage (including anonymous MAP_PRIVATE copied-on-write pages)
associated with a particular hugetlbfs filesystem instance.
Worse, they work by having callbacks to the hugetlbfs filesystem code from
the low-level page handling code, in particular from free_huge_page().
This is a layering violation of itself, but more importantly, if the
kernel does a get_user_pages() on hugepages (which can happen from KVM
amongst others), then the free_huge_page() can be delayed until after the
associated inode has already been freed. If an unmount occurs at the
wrong time, even the hugetlbfs superblock where the "quota" limits are
stored may have been freed.
Andrew Barry proposed a patch to fix this by having hugepages, instead of
storing a pointer to their address_space and reaching the superblock from
there, had the hugepages store pointers directly to the superblock,
bumping the reference count as appropriate to avoid it being freed.
Andrew Morton rejected that version, however, on the grounds that it made
the existing layering violation worse.
This is a reworked version of Andrew's patch, which removes the extra, and
some of the existing, layering violation. It works by introducing the
concept of a hugepage "subpool" at the lower hugepage mm layer - that is a
finite logical pool of hugepages to allocate from. hugetlbfs now creates
a subpool for each filesystem instance with a page limit set, and a
pointer to the subpool gets added to each allocated hugepage, instead of
the address_space pointer used now. The subpool has its own lifetime and
is only freed once all pages in it _and_ all other references to it (i.e.
superblocks) are gone.
subpools are optional - a NULL subpool pointer is taken by the code to
mean that no subpool limits are in effect.
Previous discussion of this bug found in: "Fix refcounting in hugetlbfs
quota handling.". See: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/11/28 or
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=126928970510627&w=1
v2: Fixed a bug spotted by Hillf Danton, and removed the extra parameter to
alloc_huge_page() - since it already takes the vma, it is not necessary.

cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3
Commit c0ff7453bb5c ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when
changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of
memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit.
[get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory
barriers inserted into a number of hot paths. This was detected while
investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time
after 2.6.32. The largest portion of this overhead was shown by
oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page
allocator hot path.
For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an
implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex.
This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write
sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path
side. This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86. The
main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a
manner that can cause a false failure.
While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure
is a risk. If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel
allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place.
In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from
__alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%. The
actual results were

The overall improvement is small but the System CPU time is much
improved and roughly in correlation to what oprofile reported (these
performance figures are without profiling so skew is expected). The
actual number of page faults is noticeably improved.
For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but
the system CPU time is slightly reduced.
To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals. The
first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that
faulted 100M of anonymous data. In a second window, the nodemask of the
cpuset was continually randomised in a loop.
Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually
within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine.
With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be
functionally equivalent.

mm: hugetlb: defer freeing pages when gathering surplus pages
When gathering surplus pages, the number of needed pages is recomputed
after reacquiring hugetlb lock to catch changes in resv_huge_pages and
free_huge_pages. Plus it is recomputed with the number of newly allocated
pages involved.
Thus freeing pages can be deferred a bit to see if the final page request
is satisfied, though pages could be allocated less than needed.

flush_tlb_range() needs ->page_table_lock when ->mmap_sem is not held
All other callers already hold either ->mmap_sem (exclusive) or
->page_table_lock. And we need it because some page table flushing
instanced do work explicitly with ge tables.
See e.g. arch/powerpc/mm/tlb_hash32.c, flush_tlb_range() and
flush_range() in there. The same goes for uml, with a lot more
extensive playing with page tables.
Almost all callers are actually fine - flush_tlb_range() may have no
need to bother playing with page tables, but it can do so safely; again,
this caller is the sole exception - everything else either has exclusive
->mmap_sem on the mm in question, or mm->page_table_lock is held.

mm/hugetlb.c: fix virtual address handling in hugetlb fault
handle_mm_fault() passes 'faulted' address to hugetlb_fault(). This
address is not aligned to a hugepage boundary.
Most of the functions for hugetlb pages are aware of that and calculate an
alignment themselves. However some functions such as
copy_user_huge_page() and clear_huge_page() don't handle alignment by
themselves.
This patch make hugeltb_fault() fix the alignment and pass an aligned
addresss (to address of a faulted hugepage) to functions.

hugetlb: detect race upon page allocation failure during COW
Currently we are not rechecking pte_same in hugetlb_cow after we take ptl
lock again in the page allocation failure code path and simply retry
again. This is not an issue at the moment because hugetlb fault path is
protected by hugetlb_instantiation_mutex so we cannot race.
The original page is locked and so we cannot race even with the page
migration.
Let's add the pte_same check anyway as we want to be consistent with the
other check later in this function and be safe if we ever remove the
mutex.

thp: set compound tail page _count to zero
Commit 70b50f94f1644 ("mm: thp: tail page refcounting fix") keeps all
page_tail->_count zero at all times. But the current kernel does not
set page_tail->_count to zero if a 1GB page is utilized. So when an
IOMMU 1GB page is used by KVM, it wil result in a kernel oops because a
tail page's _count does not equal zero.

mm: fix negative commitlimit when gigantic hugepages are allocated
When 1GB hugepages are allocated on a system, free(1) reports less
available memory than what really is installed in the box. Also, if the
total size of hugepages allocated on a system is over half of the total
memory size, CommitLimit becomes a negative number.
The problem is that gigantic hugepages (order > MAX_ORDER) can only be
allocated at boot with bootmem, thus its frames are not accounted to
'totalram_pages'. However, they are accounted to hugetlb_total_pages()
What happens to turn CommitLimit into a negative number is this
calculation, in fs/proc/meminfo.c:
allowed = ((totalram_pages - hugetlb_total_pages())
* sysctl_overcommit_ratio / 100) + total_swap_pages;
A similar calculation occurs in __vm_enough_memory() in mm/mmap.c.
Also, every vm statistic which depends on 'totalram_pages' will render
confusing values, as if system were 'missing' some part of its memory.
Impact of this bug:
When gigantic hugepages are allocated and sysctl_overcommit_memory ==
OVERCOMMIT_NEVER. In a such situation, __vm_enough_memory() goes through
the mentioned 'allowed' calculation and might end up mistakenly returning
-ENOMEM, thus forcing the system to start reclaiming pages earlier than it
would be ususal, and this could cause detrimental impact to overall
system's performance, depending on the workload.
Besides the aforementioned scenario, I can only think of this causing
annoyances with memory reports from /proc/meminfo and free(1).

Encode huge page size for VM_FAULT_HWPOISON errors
This fixes a problem introduced with the hugetlb hwpoison handling
The user space SIGBUS signalling wants to know the size of the hugepage
that caused a HWPOISON fault.
Unfortunately the architecture page fault handlers do not have easy
access to the struct page.
Pass the information out in the fault error code instead.
I added a separate VM_FAULT_HWPOISON_LARGE bit for this case and encode
the hpage index in some free upper bits of the fault code. The small
page hwpoison keeps stays with the VM_FAULT_HWPOISON name to minimize
changes.
Also add code to hugetlb.h to convert that index into a page shift.
Will be used in a further patch.

HWPOSION, hugetlb: recover from free hugepage error when !MF_COUNT_INCREASED
Currently error recovery for free hugepage works only for MF_COUNT_INCREASED.
This patch enables !MF_COUNT_INCREASED case.
Free hugepages can be handled directly by alloc_huge_page() and
dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page(), and both of them are protected
by hugetlb_lock, so there is no race between them.
Note that this patch defines the refcount of HWPoisoned hugepage
dequeued from freelist is 1, deviated from present 0, thereby we
can avoid race between unpoison and memory failure on free hugepage.
This is reasonable because unlikely to free buddy pages, free hugepage
is governed by hugetlbfs even after error handling finishes.
And it also makes unpoison code added in the later patch cleaner.

hugetlb: hugepage migration core
This patch extends page migration code to support hugepage migration.
One of the potential users of this feature is soft offlining which
is triggered by memory corrected errors (added by the next patch.)
Todo:
- there are other users of page migration such as memory policy,
memory hotplug and memocy compaction.
They are not ready for hugepage support for now.
ChangeLog since v4:
- define migrate_huge_pages()
- remove changes on isolation/putback_lru_page()
ChangeLog since v2:
- refactor isolate/putback_lru_page() to handle hugepage
- add comment about race on unmap_and_move_huge_page()
ChangeLog since v1:
- divide migration code path for hugepage
- define routine checking migration swap entry for hugetlb
- replace "goto" with "if/else" in remove_migration_pte()

The old ones are renamed from copy_{gigantic,huge}_page() to
copy_user_{gigantic,huge}_page().
This naming convention is consistent with that between copy_highpage()
and copy_user_highpage().
ChangeLog since v4:
- add blank line between local declaration and code
- remove unnecessary might_sleep()
ChangeLog since v2:
- change copy_huge_page() from macro to inline dummy function
to avoid compile warning when !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE.

hugetlb: fix metadata corruption in hugetlb_fault()
Since the PageHWPoison() check is for avoiding hwpoisoned page remained
in pagecache mapping to the process, it should be done in "found in pagecache"
branch, not in the common path.
Otherwise, metadata corruption occurs if memory failure happens between
alloc_huge_page() and lock_page() because page fault fails with metadata
changes remained (such as refcount, mapcount, etc.)
This patch moves the check to "found in pagecache" branch and fix the problem.
ChangeLog since v2:
- remove retry check in "new allocation" path.
- make description more detailed
- change patch name from "HWPOISON, hugetlb: move PG_HWPoison bit check"

hugetlb, rmap: add reverse mapping for hugepage
This patch adds reverse mapping feature for hugepage by introducing
mapcount for shared/private-mapped hugepage and anon_vma for
private-mapped hugepage.
While hugepage is not currently swappable, reverse mapping can be useful
for memory error handler.
Without this patch, memory error handler cannot identify processes
using the bad hugepage nor unmap it from them. That is:
- for shared hugepage:
we can collect processes using a hugepage through pagecache,
but can not unmap the hugepage because of the lack of mapcount.
- for privately mapped hugepage:
we can neither collect processes nor unmap the hugepage.
This patch solves these problems.
This patch include the bug fix given by commit 23be7468e8, so reverts it.
Dependency:
"hugetlb: move definition of is_vm_hugetlb_page() to hugepage_inline.h"
ChangeLog since May 24.
- create hugetlb_inline.h and move is_vm_hugetlb_index() in it.
- move functions setting up anon_vma for hugepage into mm/rmap.c.
ChangeLog since May 13.
- rebased to 2.6.34
- fix logic error (in case that private mapping and shared mapping coexist)
- move is_vm_hugetlb_page() into include/linux/mm.h to use this function
from linear_page_index()
- define and use linear_hugepage_index() instead of compound_order()
- use page_move_anon_rmap() in hugetlb_cow()
- copy exclusive switch of __set_page_anon_rmap() into hugepage counterpart.

When a copy-on-write occurs, we take one of two paths in handle_mm_fault:
through handle_pte_fault for normal pages, or through hugetlb_fault for

In the normal page case, we eventually get to do_wp_page and call mmu
notifiers via ptep_clear_flush_notify. There is no callout to the mmmu
notifiers in the huge page case. This patch fixes that.

cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems
Before applying this patch, cpuset updates task->mems_allowed and
mempolicy by setting all new bits in the nodemask first, and clearing all
old unallowed bits later. But in the way, the allocator may find that
there is no node to alloc memory.
The reason is that cpuset rebinds the task's mempolicy, it cleans the
nodes which the allocater can alloc pages on, for example:
(mpol: mempolicy)
task1 task1's mpol task2
alloc page 1
alloc on node0? NO 1
1 change mems from 1 to 0
1 rebind task1's mpol
0-1 set new bits
0 clear disallowed bits
alloc on node1? NO 0
...
can't alloc page
goto oom
This patch fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly
allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits). So we
use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading
nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after
read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

hugetlbfs: kill applications that use MAP_NORESERVE with SIGBUS instead of OOM-killer
Ordinarily, application using hugetlbfs will create mappings with
reserves. For shared mappings, these pages are reserved before mmap()
returns success and for private mappings, the caller process is guaranteed
and a child process that cannot get the pages gets killed with sigbus.
An application that uses MAP_NORESERVE gets no reservations and mmap()
will always succeed at the risk the page will not be available at fault
time. This might be used for example on very large sparse mappings where
the developer is confident the necessary huge pages exist to satisfy all
faults even though the whole mapping cannot be backed by huge pages.
Unfortunately, if an allocation does fail, VM_FAULT_OOM is returned to the
fault handler which proceeds to trigger the OOM-killer. This is
unhelpful.
Even without hugetlbfs mounted, a user using mmap() can trivially trigger
the OOM-killer because VM_FAULT_OOM is returned (will provide example
program if desired - it's a whopping 24 lines long). It could be
considered a DOS available to an unprivileged user.
This patch alters hugetlbfs to kill a process that uses MAP_NORESERVE
where huge pages were not available with SIGBUS instead of triggering the
OOM killer.
This change affects hugetlb_cow() as well. I feel there is a failure case
in there, but I didn't create one. It would need a fairly specific target
in terms of the faulting application and the hugepage pool size. The
hugetlb_no_page() path is much easier to hit but both might as well be
closed.

hugetlb: fix infinite loop in get_futex_key() when backed by huge pages
If a futex key happens to be located within a huge page mapped
MAP_PRIVATE, get_futex_key() can go into an infinite loop waiting for a
page->mapping that will never exist.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552257 for more details
about the problem.
This patch makes page->mapping a poisoned value that includes
PAGE_MAPPING_ANON mapped MAP_PRIVATE. This is enough for futex to
continue but because of PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, the poisoned value is not
dereferenced or used by futex. No other part of the VM should be
dereferencing the page->mapping of a hugetlbfs page as its page cache is
not on the LRU.
This patch fixes the problem with the test case described in the bugzilla.

Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> |
include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things

a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

MM: Pass a PTE pointer to update_mmu_cache() rather than the PTE itself
On VIVT ARM, when we have multiple shared mappings of the same file
in the same MM, we need to ensure that we have coherency across all
copies. We do this via make_coherent() by making the pages
uncacheable.
This used to work fine, until we allowed highmem with highpte - we
now have a page table which is mapped as required, and is not available
for modification via update_mmu_cache().
Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to
update_mmu_cache():
On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables
to construct a pointer to the pte again. Passing a pte_t * is much
more elegant. Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the
pte_t?
Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC:
Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want. I want that
-instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases,
for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the
_PAGE_EXEC.
So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and
remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to
suit.

If a user asks for a hugepage pool resize but specified a large number,

signals are ignored and the pool resize continues until it fails an
allocation. This can take a considerable amount of time so this patch

hugetlb: acquire the i_mmap_lock before walking the prio_tree to unmap a page
When the owner of a mapping fails COW because a child process is holding a
reference, the children VMAs are walked and the page is unmapped. The
i_mmap_lock is taken for the unmapping of the page but not the walking of
the prio_tree. In theory, that tree could be changing if the lock is not
held. This patch takes the i_mmap_lock properly for the duration of the
prio_tree walk.

hugetlb_fault() takes the mm->page_table_lock spinlock then calls

insufficient huge page pool it calls unmap_ref_private() with the

unmap_hugepage_range() which tries to acquire the mm->page_table_lock.

This can be fixed by dropping the mm->page_table_lock around the call to
unmap_ref_private() if alloc_huge_page() fails, its dropped right below in
the normal path anyway. However, earlier in the that function, it's also
possible to call into the page allocator with the same spinlock held.
What this patch does is drop the spinlock before the page allocator is
potentially entered. The check for page allocation failure can be made
without the page_table_lock as well as the copy of the huge page. Even if
the PTE changed while the spinlock was held, the consequence is that a
huge page is copied unnecessarily. This resolves both the double taking
of the lock and sleeping with the spinlock held.

mm: add gfp flags for NODEMASK_ALLOC slab allocations
Objects passed to NODEMASK_ALLOC() are relatively small in size and are
backed by slab caches that are not of large order, traditionally never
greater than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.
Thus, using GFP_KERNEL for these allocations on large machines when
CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8 will cause the page allocator to loop endlessly in
the allocation attempt, each time invoking both direct reclaim or the oom
killer.
This is of particular interest when using NODEMASK_ALLOC() from a
mempolicy context (either directly in mm/mempolicy.c or the mempolicy
constrained hugetlb allocations) since the oom killer always kills current
when allocations are constrained by mempolicies. So for all present use
cases in the kernel, current would end up being oom killed when direct
reclaim fails. That would allow the NODEMASK_ALLOC() to succeed but
current would have sacrificed itself upon returning.
This patch adds gfp flags to NODEMASK_ALLOC() to pass to kmalloc() on
CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8; this parameter is a nop on other configurations.
All current use cases either directly from hugetlb code or indirectly via
NODEMASK_SCRATCH() union __GFP_NORETRY to avoid direct reclaim and the oom
killer when the slab allocator needs to allocate additional pages.
The side-effect of this change is that all current use cases of either
NODEMASK_ALLOC() or NODEMASK_SCRATCH() need appropriate -ENOMEM handling
when the allocation fails (never for CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT <= 8). All
current use cases were audited and do have appropriate error handling at
this time.

hugetlb: add per node hstate attributes
Add the per huge page size control/query attributes to the per node
sysdevs:
/sys/devices/system/node/node<ID>/hugepages/hugepages-<size>/
nr_hugepages - r/w
free_huge_pages - r/o
surplus_huge_pages - r/o
The patch attempts to re-use/share as much of the existing global hstate
attribute initialization and handling, and the "nodes_allowed" constraint
processing as possible.
Calling set_max_huge_pages() with no node indicates a change to global
hstate parameters. In this case, any non-default task mempolicy will be
used to generate the nodes_allowed mask. A valid node id indicates an
update to that node's hstate parameters, and the count argument specifies
the target count for the specified node. From this info, we compute the
target global count for the hstate and construct a nodes_allowed node mask
contain only the specified node.
Setting the node specific nr_hugepages via the per node attribute
effectively ignores any task mempolicy or cpuset constraints.

hugetlb: derive huge pages nodes allowed from task mempolicy
This patch derives a "nodes_allowed" node mask from the numa mempolicy of
the task modifying the number of persistent huge pages to control the
allocation, freeing and adjusting of surplus huge pages when the pool page
count is modified via the new sysctl or sysfs attribute
"nr_hugepages_mempolicy". The nodes_allowed mask is derived as follows:
* For "default" [NULL] task mempolicy, a NULL nodemask_t pointer
is produced. This will cause the hugetlb subsystem to use
node_online_map as the "nodes_allowed". This preserves the
behavior before this patch.
* For "preferred" mempolicy, including explicit local allocation,
a nodemask with the single preferred node will be produced.
"local" policy will NOT track any internode migrations of the
task adjusting nr_hugepages.
* For "bind" and "interleave" policy, the mempolicy's nodemask
will be used.
* Other than to inform the construction of the nodes_allowed node
mask, the actual mempolicy mode is ignored. That is, all modes
behave like interleave over the resulting nodes_allowed mask
with no "fallback".
See the updated documentation [next patch] for more information
about the implications of this patch.
Examples:
Starting with:
Node 0 HugePages_Total: 0
Node 1 HugePages_Total: 0
Node 2 HugePages_Total: 0
Node 3 HugePages_Total: 0
Default behavior [with or without this patch] balances persistent
hugepage allocation across nodes [with sufficient contiguous memory]:
sysctl vm.nr_hugepages[_mempolicy]=32
yields:
Node 0 HugePages_Total: 8
Node 1 HugePages_Total: 8
Node 2 HugePages_Total: 8
Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8
Of course, we only have nr_hugepages_mempolicy with the patch,
but with default mempolicy, nr_hugepages_mempolicy behaves the
same as nr_hugepages.
Applying mempolicy--e.g., with numactl [using '-m' a.k.a.
'--membind' because it allows multiple nodes to be specified
and it's easy to type]--we can allocate huge pages on
individual nodes or sets of nodes. So, starting from the
condition above, with 8 huge pages per node, add 8 more to
node 2 using:
numactl -m 2 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=40
This yields:
Node 0 HugePages_Total: 8
Node 1 HugePages_Total: 8
Node 2 HugePages_Total: 16
Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8
The incremental 8 huge pages were restricted to node 2 by the
specified mempolicy.
Similarly, we can use mempolicy to free persistent huge pages
from specified nodes:
numactl -m 0,1 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=32
yields:
Node 0 HugePages_Total: 4
Node 1 HugePages_Total: 4
Node 2 HugePages_Total: 16
Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8
The 8 huge pages freed were balanced over nodes 0 and 1.

hugetlb: add nodemask arg to huge page alloc, free and surplus adjust functions
In preparation for constraining huge page allocation and freeing by the
controlling task's numa mempolicy, add a "nodes_allowed" nodemask pointer
to the allocate, free and surplus adjustment functions. For now, pass
NULL to indicate default behavior--i.e., use node_online_map. A
subsqeuent patch will derive a non-default mask from the controlling
task's numa mempolicy.
Note that this method of updating the global hstate nr_hugepages under the
constraint of a nodemask simplifies keeping the global state
consistent--especially the number of persistent and surplus pages relative
to reservations and overcommit limits. There are undoubtedly other ways
to do this, but this works for both interfaces: mempolicy and per node
attributes.

Modify the hstate_next_node* functions to allow them to be called to
obtain the "start_nid". Then, whereas prior to this patch we
unconditionally called hstate_next_node_to_{alloc|free}(), whether or not
we successfully allocated/freed a huge page on the node, now we only call
these functions on failure to alloc/free to advance to next allowed node.
Factor out the next_node_allowed() function to handle wrap at end of
node_online_map. In this version, the allowed nodes include all of the
online nodes.

sysctl: remove "struct file *" argument of ->proc_handler
It's unused.
It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl
shouldn't care about the rest.
It _was_ used in two places at arch/frv for some reason.

mm: follow_hugetlb_page flags
follow_hugetlb_page() shouldn't be guessing about the coredump case
either: pass the foll_flags down to it, instead of just the write bit.
Remove that obscure huge_zeropage_ok() test. The decision is easy,
though unlike the non-huge case - here vm_ops->fault is always set.
But we know that a fault would serve up zeroes, unless there's
already a hugetlbfs pagecache page to back the range.
(Alternatively, since hugetlb pages aren't swapped out under pressure,
you could save more dump space by arguing that a page not yet faulted
into this process cannot be relevant to the dump; but that would be
more surprising.)

hugetlb: restore interleaving of bootmem huge pages
I noticed that alloc_bootmem_huge_page() will only advance to the next
node on failure to allocate a huge page, potentially filling nodes with
huge-pages. I asked about this on linux-mm and linux-numa, cc'ing the
usual huge page suspects.
Mel Gorman responded:
I strongly suspect that the same node being used until allocation
failure instead of round-robin is an oversight and not deliberate
at all. It appears to be a side-effect of a fix made way back in
commit 63b4613c3f0d4b724ba259dc6c201bb68b884e1a ["hugetlb: fix
hugepage allocation with memoryless nodes"]. Prior to that patch
it looked like allocations would always round-robin even when
allocation was successful.
This patch--factored out of my "hugetlb mempolicy" series--moves the
advance of the hstate next node from which to allocate up before the test
for success of the attempted allocation.
Note that alloc_bootmem_huge_page() is only used for order > MAX_ORDER
huge pages.
I'll post a separate patch for mainline/stable, as the above mentioned
"balance freeing" series renamed the next node to alloc function.

hugetlb: use free_pool_huge_page() to return unused surplus pages
Use the [modified] free_pool_huge_page() function to return unused
surplus pages. This will help keep huge pages balanced across nodes
between freeing of unused surplus pages and freeing of persistent huge
pages [from set_max_huge_pages] by using the same node id "cursor". It
also eliminates some code duplication.

hugetlb: balance freeing of huge pages across nodes
Free huges pages from nodes in round robin fashion in an attempt to keep
[persistent a.k.a static] hugepages balanced across nodes
New function free_pool_huge_page() is modeled on and performs roughly the
inverse of alloc_fresh_huge_page(). Replaces dequeue_huge_page() which
now has no callers, so this patch removes it.
Helper function hstate_next_node_to_free() uses new hstate member
next_to_free_nid to distribute "frees" across all nodes with huge pages.

hugetlbfs: fix i_blocks accounting
As reported in Red Hat bz #509671, i_blocks for files on hugetlbfs get
accounting wrong when doing something like:
$ > foo
$ date > foo
date: write error: Invalid argument
$ /usr/bin/stat foo
File: `foo'
Size: 0 Blocks: 18446744073709547520 IO Block: 2097152 regular
...
This is because hugetlb_unreserve_pages() is unconditionally removing
blocks_per_huge_page(h) on each call rather than using the freed amount.
If there were 0 blocks, it goes negative, resulting in the above.
This is a regression from commit a5516438959d90b071ff0a484ce4f3f523dc3152
("hugetlb: modular state for hugetlb page size")
which did:
- inode->i_blocks -= BLOCKS_PER_HUGEPAGE * freed;
+ inode->i_blocks -= blocks_per_huge_page(h);
so just put back the freed multiplier, and it's all happy again.

mm: introduce PageHuge() for testing huge/gigantic pages
A series of patches to enhance the /proc/pagemap interface and to add a
userspace executable which can be used to present the pagemap data.
Export 10 more flags to end users (and more for kernel developers):
11. KPF_MMAP (pseudo flag) memory mapped page
12. KPF_ANON (pseudo flag) memory mapped page (anonymous)
13. KPF_SWAPCACHE page is in swap cache
14. KPF_SWAPBACKED page is swap/RAM backed
15. KPF_COMPOUND_HEAD (*)
16. KPF_COMPOUND_TAIL (*)
17. KPF_HUGE hugeTLB pages
18. KPF_UNEVICTABLE page is in the unevictable LRU list
19. KPF_HWPOISON hardware detected corruption
20. KPF_NOPAGE (pseudo flag) no page frame at the address
(*) For compound pages, exporting _both_ head/tail info enables
users to tell where a compound page starts/ends, and its order.

page allocator: use a pre-calculated value instead of num_online_nodes() in fast paths
num_online_nodes() is called in a number of places but most often by the
page allocator when deciding whether the zonelist needs to be filtered
based on cpusets or the zonelist cache. This is actually a heavy function
and touches a number of cache lines.
This patch stores the number of online nodes at boot time and updates the
value when nodes get onlined and offlined. The value is then used in a
number of important paths in place of num_online_nodes().

page allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is valid
Callers of alloc_pages_node() can optionally specify -1 as a node to mean
"allocate from the current node". However, a number of the callers in
fast paths know for a fact their node is valid. To avoid a comparison and
branch, this patch adds alloc_pages_exact_node() that only checks the nid
with VM_BUG_ON(). Callers that know their node is valid are then
converted.

mm: account for MAP_SHARED mappings using VM_MAYSHARE and not VM_SHARED in hugetlbfs
Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13302
hugetlbfs reserves huge pages but does not fault them at mmap() time to
ensure that future faults succeed. The reservation behaviour differs
depending on whether the mapping was mapped MAP_SHARED or MAP_PRIVATE.
For MAP_SHARED mappings, hugepages are reserved when mmap() is first
called and are tracked based on information associated with the inode.
Other processes mapping MAP_SHARED use the same reservation. MAP_PRIVATE
track the reservations based on the VMA created as part of the mmap()
operation. Each process mapping MAP_PRIVATE must make its own
reservation.
hugetlbfs currently checks if a VMA is MAP_SHARED with the VM_SHARED flag
and not VM_MAYSHARE. For file-backed mappings, such as hugetlbfs,
VM_SHARED is set only if the mapping is MAP_SHARED and the file was opened
read-write. If a shared memory mapping was mapped shared-read-write for
populating of data and mapped shared-read-only by other processes, then
hugetlbfs would account for the mapping as if it was MAP_PRIVATE. This
causes processes to fail to map the file MAP_SHARED even though it should
succeed as the reservation is there.
This patch alters mm/hugetlb.c and replaces VM_SHARED with VM_MAYSHARE
when the intent of the code was to check whether the VMA was mapped
MAP_SHARED or MAP_PRIVATE.

Do not account for hugetlbfs quota at mmap() time if mapping [SHM|MAP]_NORESERVE
Commit 5a6fe125950676015f5108fb71b2a67441755003 brought hugetlbfs more
in line with the core VM by obeying VM_NORESERVE and not reserving
hugepages for both shared and private mappings when [SHM|MAP]_NORESERVE
are specified. However, it is still taking filesystem quota
unconditionally.
At fault time, if there are no reserves and attempt is made to allocate
the page and account for filesystem quota. If either fail, the fault
fails. The impact is that quota is getting accounted for twice. This
patch partially reverts 5a6fe125950676015f5108fb71b2a67441755003. To
help prevent this mistake happening again, it improves the documentation
of hugetlb_reserve_pages()

Do not account for the address space used by hugetlbfs using VM_ACCOUNT
When overcommit is disabled, the core VM accounts for pages used by anonymous
shared, private mappings and special mappings. It keeps track of VMAs that
should be accounted for with VM_ACCOUNT and VMAs that never had a reserve
with VM_NORESERVE.
Overcommit for hugetlbfs is much riskier than overcommit for base pages
due to contiguity requirements. It avoids overcommiting on both shared and
private mappings using reservation counters that are checked and updated
during mmap(). This ensures (within limits) that hugepages exist in the
future when faults occurs or it is too easy to applications to be SIGKILLed.
As hugetlbfs makes its own reservations of a different unit to the base page
size, VM_ACCOUNT should never be set. Even if the units were correct, we would
double account for the usage in the core VM and hugetlbfs. VM_NORESERVE may
be set because an application can request no reserves be made for hugetlbfs
at the risk of getting killed later.
With commit fc8744adc870a8d4366908221508bb113d8b72ee, VM_NORESERVE and
VM_ACCOUNT are getting unconditionally set for hugetlbfs-backed mappings. This
breaks the accounting for both the core VM and hugetlbfs, can trigger an
OOM storm when hugepage pools are too small lockups and corrupted counters
otherwise are used. This patch brings hugetlbfs more in line with how the
core VM treats VM_NORESERVE but prevents VM_ACCOUNT being set.

the MMU on older processor. To distinguish, this patch reports

hugetlb: make unmap_ref_private multi-size-aware
Oops. Part of the hugetlb private reservation code was not fully
converted to use hstates.
When a huge page must be unmapped from VMAs due to a failed COW,
HPAGE_SIZE is used in the call to unmap_hugepage_range() regardless of
the page size being used. This works if the VMA is using the default
huge page size. Otherwise we might unmap too much, too little, or
trigger a BUG_ON. Rare but serious -- fix it.

hugetlbfs: handle pages higher order than MAX_ORDER
When working with hugepages, hugetlbfs assumes that those hugepages are
smaller than MAX_ORDER. Specifically it assumes that the mem_map is
contigious and uses that to optimise access to the elements of the mem_map
that represent the hugepage. Gigantic pages (such as 16GB pages on
powerpc) by definition are of greater order than MAX_ORDER (larger than
MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES in size). This means that we can no longer make use of
the buddy alloctor guarentees for the contiguity of the mem_map, which
ensures that the mem_map is at least contigious for maximmally aligned
areas of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages.
This patch adds new mem_map accessors and iterator helpers which handle
any discontiguity at MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundaries. It then uses these to
implement gigantic page versions of copy_huge_page and clear_huge_page,
and to allow follow_hugetlb_page handle gigantic pages.

hugepage: support ZERO_PAGE()
Presently hugepage doesn't use zero page at all because zero page is only
used for coredumping and hugepage can't core dump.
However we have now implemented hugepage coredumping. Therefore we should
implement the zero page of hugepage.
Implementation note:
o Why do we only check VM_SHARED for zero page?
normal page checked as ..
static inline int use_zero_page(struct vm_area_struct *vma)
{
if (vma->vm_flags & (VM_LOCKED | VM_SHARED))
return 0;
return !vma->vm_ops || !vma->vm_ops->fault;
}
First, hugepages are never mlock()ed. We aren't concerned with VM_LOCKED.
Second, hugetlbfs is a pseudo filesystem, not a real filesystem and it
doesn't have any file backing. Thus ops->fault checking is meaningless.
o Why don't we use zero page if !pte.
!pte indicate {pud, pmd} doesn't exist or some error happened. So we
shouldn't return zero page if any error occurred.

vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets
Split the LRU lists in two, one set for pages that are backed by real file
systems ("file") and one for pages that are backed by memory and swap
("anon"). The latter includes tmpfs.
The advantage of doing this is that the VM will not have to scan over lots
of anonymous pages (which we generally do not want to swap out), just to
find the page cache pages that it should evict.
This patch has the infrastructure and a basic policy to balance how much
we scan the anon lists and how much we scan the file lists. The big
policy changes are in separate patches.

hugetlb: handle updating of ACCESSED and DIRTY in hugetlb_fault()
The page fault path for normal pages, if the fault is neither a no-page
fault nor a write-protect fault, will update the DIRTY and ACCESSED bits
in the page table appropriately.
The hugepage fault path, however, does not do this, handling only no-page
or write-protect type faults. It assumes that either the ACCESSED and
DIRTY bits are irrelevant for hugepages (usually true, since they are
never swapped) or that they are handled by the arch code.
This is inconvenient for some software-loaded TLB architectures, where the
_PAGE_ACCESSED (_PAGE_DIRTY) bits need to be set to enable read (write)
access to the page at the TLB miss. This could be worked around in the
arch TLB miss code, but the TLB miss fast path can be made simple more
easily if the hugetlb_fault() path handles this, as the normal page fault
path does.

hugetlbfs: allocate structures for reservation tracking outside of spinlocks
In the normal case, hugetlbfs reserves hugepages at map time so that the
pages exist for future faults. A struct file_region is used to track when
reservations have been consumed and where. These file_regions are
allocated as necessary with kmalloc() which can sleep with the
mm->page_table_lock held. This is wrong and triggers may-sleep warning
when PREEMPT is enabled.
Updates to the underlying file_region are done in two phases. The first
phase prepares the region for the change, allocating any necessary memory,
without actually making the change. The second phase actually commits the
change. This patch makes use of this by checking the reservations before
the page_table_lock is taken; triggering any necessary allocations. This
may then be safely repeated within the locks without any allocations being
required.
Credit to Mel Gorman for diagnosing this failure and initial versions of
the patch.

hugetlb: call arch_prepare_hugepage() for surplus pages
The s390 software large page emulation implements shared page tables by
using page->index of the first tail page from a compound large page to
store page table information. This is set up in arch_prepare_hugepage(),
which is called from alloc_fresh_huge_page_node().
A similar call to arch_prepare_hugepage() is missing for surplus large
pages that are allocated in alloc_buddy_huge_page(), which breaks the
software emulation mode for (surplus) large pages on s390. This patch
adds the missing call to arch_prepare_hugepage(). It will have no effect
on other architectures where arch_prepare_hugepage() is a nop.
Also, use the correct order in the error path in alloc_fresh_huge_page_node().

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).

hugetlb: quota is not freed for unused reserved private huge pages
With shared reservations (and now also with private reservations), we reserve
huge pages at mmap time. We also account for the mapping against fs quota to
prevent a reservation from being preempted by quota exhaustion.
When testing with the libhugetlbfs test suite, I found a problem with quota
accounting. FS quota for allocated pages is handled correctly but we are not
releasing quota for private pages that were reserved but never allocated. Do
this in hugetlb_vm_op_close() at the same time as unused page reservations are
released.

hugetlb: fix a hugepage reservation check for MAP_SHARED
When removing a huge page from the hugepage pool for a fault the system checks
to see if the mapping requires additional pages to be reserved, and if it does
whether there are any unreserved pages remaining. If not, the allocation
fails without even attempting to get a page. In order to determine whether to
apply this check we call vma_has_private_reserves() which tells us if this vma
is MAP_PRIVATE and is the owner. This incorrectly triggers the remaining
reservation test for MAP_SHARED mappings which prevents allocation of the
final page in the pool even though it is reserved for this mapping.
In reality we only want to check this for MAP_PRIVATE mappings where the
process is not the original mapper. Replace vma_has_private_reserves() with
vma_has_reserves() which indicates whether further reserves are required, and
update the caller.

hugetlb: support larger than MAX_ORDER
This is needed on x86-64 to handle GB pages in hugetlbfs, because it is
not practical to enlarge MAX_ORDER to 1GB.
Instead the 1GB pages are only allocated at boot using the bootmem
allocator using the hugepages=... option.
These 1G bootmem pages are never freed. In theory it would be possible to
implement that with some complications, but since it would be a one-way
street (>= MAX_ORDER pages cannot be allocated later) I decided not to
currently.
The >= MAX_ORDER code is not ifdef'ed per architecture. It is not very
big and the ifdef uglyness seemed not be worth it.
Known problems: /proc/meminfo and "free" do not display the memory
allocated for gb pages in "Total". This is a little confusing for the
user.

hugetlb: new sysfs interface
Provide new hugepages user APIs that are more suited to multiple hstates
in sysfs. There is a new directory, /sys/kernel/hugepages. Underneath
that directory there will be a directory per-supported hugepage size,
e.g.:
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64kB
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-16384kB
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-16777216kB
corresponding to 64k, 16m and 16g respectively. Within each
hugepages-size directory there are a number of files, corresponding to the
tracked counters in the hstate, e.g.:
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/nr_hugepages
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/nr_overcommit_hugepages
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/free_hugepages
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/resv_hugepages
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/surplus_hugepages
Of these files, the first two are read-write and the latter three are
read-only. The size of the hugepage being manipulated is trivially
deducible from the enclosing directory and is always expressed in kB (to
match meminfo).

hugetlbfs: per mount huge page sizes
Add the ability to configure the hugetlb hstate used on a per mount basis.
- Add a new pagesize= option to the hugetlbfs mount that allows setting
the page size
- This option causes the mount code to find the hstate corresponding to the
specified size, and sets up a pointer to the hstate in the mount's
superblock.
- Change the hstate accessors to use this information rather than the
global_hstate they were using (requires a slight change in mm/memory.c
so we don't NULL deref in the error-unmap path -- see comments).

hugetlb: modular state for hugetlb page size
The goal of this patchset is to support multiple hugetlb page sizes. This
is achieved by introducing a new struct hstate structure, which
encapsulates the important hugetlb state and constants (eg. huge page
size, number of huge pages currently allocated, etc).
The hstate structure is then passed around the code which requires these
fields, they will do the right thing regardless of the exact hstate they
are operating on.
This patch adds the hstate structure, with a single global instance of it
(default_hstate), and does the basic work of converting hugetlb to use the
hstate.
Future patches will add more hstate structures to allow for different
hugetlbfs mounts to have different page sizes.

hugetlb reservations: fix hugetlb MAP_PRIVATE reservations across vma splits
When a hugetlb mapping with a reservation is split, a new VMA is cloned
from the original. This new VMA is a direct copy of the original
including the reservation count. When this pair of VMAs are unmapped we
will incorrect double account the unused reservation and the overall
reservation count will be incorrect, in extreme cases it will wrap.
The problem occurs when we split an existing VMA say to unmap a page in
the middle. split_vma() will create a new VMA copying all fields from the
original. As we are storing our reservation count in vm_private_data this
is also copies, endowing the new VMA with a duplicate of the original
VMA's reservation. Neither of the new VMAs can exhaust these reservations
as they are too small, but when we unmap and close these VMAs we will
incorrect credit the remainder twice and resv_huge_pages will become out
of sync. This can lead to allocation failures on mappings with
reservations and even to resv_huge_pages wrapping which prevents all
subsequent hugepage allocations.
The simple fix would be to correctly apportion the remaining reservation
count when the split is made. However the only hook we have vm_ops->open
only has the new VMA we do not know the identity of the preceeding VMA.
Also even if we did have that VMA to hand we do not know how much of the
reservation was consumed each side of the split.
This patch therefore takes a different tack. We know that the whole of
any private mapping (which has a reservation) has a reservation over its
whole size. Any present pages represent consumed reservation. Therefore
if we track the instantiated pages we can calculate the remaining
reservation.
This patch reuses the existing regions code to track the regions for which
we have consumed reservation (ie. the instantiated pages), as each page
is faulted in we record the consumption of reservation for the new page.
When we need to return unused reservations at unmap time we simply count
the consumed reservation region subtracting that from the whole of the
map. During a VMA split the newly opened VMA will point to the same
region map, as this map is offset oriented it remains valid for both of
the split VMAs. This map is referenced counted so that it is removed when
all VMAs which are part of the mmap are gone.
Thanks to Adam Litke and Mel Gorman for their review feedback.

hugetlb: allow huge page mappings to be created without reservations
By default all shared mappings and most private mappings now have
reservations associated with them. This improves semantics by providing
allocation guarentees to the mapper. However a small number of
applications may attempt to make very large sparse mappings, with these
strict reservations the system will never be able to honour the mapping.
This patch set brings MAP_NORESERVE support to hugetlb files. This allows
new mappings to be made to hugetlbfs files without an associated
reservation, for both shared and private mappings. This allows
applications which want to create very sparse mappings to opt-out of the
reservation system. Obviously as there is no reservation they are liable
to fault at runtime if the huge page pool becomes exhausted; buyer beware.

hugetlb: guarantee that COW faults for a process that called mmap(MAP_PRIVATE) on hugetlbfs will succeed
After patch 2 in this series, a process that successfully calls mmap() for
a MAP_PRIVATE mapping will be guaranteed to successfully fault until a
process calls fork(). At that point, the next write fault from the parent
could fail due to COW if the child still has a reference.
We only reserve pages for the parent but a copy must be made to avoid
leaking data from the parent to the child after fork(). Reserves could be
taken for both parent and child at fork time to guarantee faults but if
the mapping is large it is highly likely we will not have sufficient pages
for the reservation, and it is common to fork only to exec() immediatly
after. A failure here would be very undesirable.
Note that the current behaviour of mainline with MAP_PRIVATE pages is
pretty bad. The following situation is allowed to occur today.
1. Process calls mmap(MAP_PRIVATE)
2. Process calls mlock() to fault all pages and makes sure it succeeds
3. Process forks()
4. Process writes to MAP_PRIVATE mapping while child still exists
5. If the COW fails at this point, the process gets SIGKILLed even though it
had taken care to ensure the pages existed
This patch improves the situation by guaranteeing the reliability of the
process that successfully calls mmap(). When the parent performs COW, it
will try to satisfy the allocation without using reserves. If that fails
the parent will steal the page leaving any children without a page.
Faults from the child after that point will result in failure. If the
child COW happens first, an attempt will be made to allocate the page
without reserves and the child will get SIGKILLed on failure.
To summarise the new behaviour:
1. If the original mapper performs COW on a private mapping with multiple
references, it will attempt to allocate a hugepage from the pool or
the buddy allocator without using the existing reserves. On fail, VMAs
mapping the same area are traversed and the page being COW'd is unmapped
where found. It will then steal the original page as the last mapper in
the normal way.
2. The VMAs the pages were unmapped from are flagged to note that pages
with data no longer exist. Future no-page faults on those VMAs will
terminate the process as otherwise it would appear that data was corrupted.
A warning is printed to the console that this situation occured.
2. If the child performs COW first, it will attempt to satisfy the COW
from the pool if there are enough pages or via the buddy allocator if
overcommit is allowed and the buddy allocator can satisfy the request. If
it fails, the child will be killed.
If the pool is large enough, existing applications will not notice that
the reserves were a factor. Existing applications depending on the
no-reserves been set are unlikely to exist as for much of the history of
hugetlbfs, pages were prefaulted at mmap(), allocating the pages at that
point or failing the mmap().

hugetlb: reserve huge pages for reliable MAP_PRIVATE hugetlbfs mappings until fork()
This patch reserves huge pages at mmap() time for MAP_PRIVATE mappings in
a similar manner to the reservations taken for MAP_SHARED mappings. The
reserve count is accounted both globally and on a per-VMA basis for
private mappings. This guarantees that a process that successfully calls
mmap() will successfully fault all pages in the future unless fork() is
called.
The characteristics of private mappings of hugetlbfs files behaviour after
this patch are;
1. The process calling mmap() is guaranteed to succeed all future faults until
it forks().
2. On fork(), the parent may die due to SIGKILL on writes to the private
mapping if enough pages are not available for the COW. For reasonably
reliable behaviour in the face of a small huge page pool, children of
hugepage-aware processes should not reference the mappings; such as
might occur when fork()ing to exec().
3. On fork(), the child VMAs inherit no reserves. Reads on pages already
faulted by the parent will succeed. Successful writes will depend on enough
huge pages being free in the pool.
4. Quotas of the hugetlbfs mount are checked at reserve time for the mapper
and at fault time otherwise.
Before this patch, all reads or writes in the child potentially needs page
allocations that can later lead to the death of the parent. This applies
to reads and writes of uninstantiated pages as well as COW. After the
patch it is only a write to an instantiated page that causes problems.

hugetlb: move hugetlb_acct_memory()
This is a patchset to give reliable behaviour to a process that
successfully calls mmap(MAP_PRIVATE) on a hugetlbfs file. Currently, it
is possible for the process to be killed due to a small hugepage pool size
even if it calls mlock().
MAP_SHARED mappings on hugetlbfs reserve huge pages at mmap() time. This
guarantees all future faults against the mapping will succeed. This
allows local allocations at first use improving NUMA locality whilst
retaining reliability.
MAP_PRIVATE mappings do not reserve pages. This can result in an
application being SIGKILLed later if a huge page is not available at fault
time. This makes huge pages usage very ill-advised in some cases as the
unexpected application failure cannot be detected and handled as it is
immediately fatal. Although an application may force instantiation of the
pages using mlock(), this may lead to poor memory placement and the
process may still be killed when performing COW.
This patchset introduces a reliability guarantee for the process which
creates a private mapping, i.e. the process that calls mmap() on a
hugetlbfs file successfully. The first patch of the set is purely
mechanical code move to make later diffs easier to read. The second patch
will guarantee faults up until the process calls fork(). After patch two,
as long as the child keeps the mappings, the parent is no longer
guaranteed to be reliable. Patch 3 guarantees that the parent will always
successfully COW by unmapping the pages from the child in the event there
are insufficient pages in the hugepage pool in allocate a new page, be it
via a static or dynamic pool.
Existing hugepage-aware applications are unlikely to be affected by this
change. For much of hugetlbfs's history, pages were pre-faulted at mmap()
time or mmap() failed which acts in a reserve-like manner. If the pool is
sized correctly already so that parent and child can fault reliably, the
application will not even notice the reserves. It's only when the pool is
too small for the application to function perfectly reliably that the
reserves come into play.
Credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for cleaning up a number of mistakes during
review before the patches were released.
This patch:
A later patch in this set needs to call hugetlb_acct_memory() before it is
defined. This patch moves the function without modification. This makes
later diffs easier to read.

hugetlbfs: add missing TLB flush to hugetlb_cow()
A cow break on a hugetlbfs page with page_count > 1 will set a new pte with
set_huge_pte_at(), w/o any tlb flush operation. The old pte will remain in
the tlb and subsequent write access to the page will result in a page fault
loop, for as long as it may take until the tlb is flushed from somewhere else.
This patch introduces an architecture-specific huge_ptep_clear_flush()
function, which is called before the the set_huge_pte_at() in hugetlb_cow().
ATTENTION: This is just a nop on all architectures for now, the s390
implementation will come with our large page patch later. Other architectures
should define their own huge_ptep_clear_flush() if needed.

mempolicy: rework mempolicy Reference Counting [yet again]
After further discussion with Christoph Lameter, it has become clear that my
earlier attempts to clean up the mempolicy reference counting were a bit of
overkill in some areas, resulting in superflous ref/unref in what are usually
fast paths. In other areas, further inspection reveals that I botched the
unref for interleave policies.
A separate patch, suitable for upstream/stable trees, fixes up the known
errors in the previous attempt to fix reference counting.
This patch reworks the memory policy referencing counting and, one hopes,
simplifies the code. Maybe I'll get it right this time.
See the update to the numa_memory_policy.txt document for a discussion of
memory policy reference counting that motivates this patch.
Summary:
Lookup of mempolicy, based on (vma, address) need only add a reference for
shared policy, and we need only unref the policy when finished for shared
policies. So, this patch backs out all of the unneeded extra reference
counting added by my previous attempt. It then unrefs only shared policies
when we're finished with them, using the mpol_cond_put() [conditional put]
helper function introduced by this patch.
Note that shmem_swapin() calls read_swap_cache_async() with a dummy vma
containing just the policy. read_swap_cache_async() can call alloc_page_vma()
multiple times, so we can't let alloc_page_vma() unref the shared policy in
this case. To avoid this, we make a copy of any non-null shared policy and
remove the MPOL_F_SHARED flag from the copy. This copy occurs before reading
a page [or multiple pages] from swap, so the overhead should not be an issue
here.
I introduced a new static inline function "mpol_cond_copy()" to copy the
shared policy to an on-stack policy and remove the flags that would require a
conditional free. The current implementation of mpol_cond_copy() assumes that
the struct mempolicy contains no pointers to dynamically allocated structures
that must be duplicated or reference counted during copy.

mempolicy: rename mpol_free to mpol_put
This is a change that was requested some time ago by Mel Gorman. Makes sense
to me, so here it is.
Note: I retain the name "mpol_free_shared_policy()" because it actually does
free the shared_policy, which is NOT a reference counted object. However, ...
The mempolicy object[s] referenced by the shared_policy are reference counted,
so mpol_put() is used to release the reference held by the shared_policy. The
mempolicy might not be freed at this time, because some task attached to the
shared object associated with the shared policy may be in the process of
allocating a page based on the mempolicy. In that case, the task performing
the allocation will hold a reference on the mempolicy, obtained via
mpol_shared_policy_lookup(). The mempolicy will be freed when all tasks
holding such a reference have called mpol_put() for the mempolicy.

Subject: [PATCH] hugetlb: vmstat events for huge page allocations
Allocating huge pages directly from the buddy allocator is not guaranteed to
succeed. Success depends on several factors (such as the amount of physical
memory available and the level of fragmentation). With the addition of
dynamic hugetlb pool resizing, allocations can occur much more frequently.
For these reasons it is desirable to keep track of huge page allocation
successes and failures.
Add two new vmstat entries to track huge page allocations that succeed and
fail. The presence of the two entries is contingent upon CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE
being enabled.

hugetlb: decrease hugetlb_lock cycling in gather_surplus_huge_pages
To reduce hugetlb_lock acquisitions and releases when freeing excess surplus
pages, scan the page list in two parts. First, transfer the needed pages to
the hugetlb pool. Then drop the lock and free the remaining pages back to the
buddy allocator.
In the common case there are zero excess pages and no lock operations are
required.
Thanks Mel Gorman for this improvement.

mm: filter based on a nodemask as well as a gfp_mask
The MPOL_BIND policy creates a zonelist that is used for allocations
controlled by that mempolicy. As the per-node zonelist is already being
filtered based on a zone id, this patch adds a version of __alloc_pages() that
takes a nodemask for further filtering. This eliminates the need for
MPOL_BIND to create a custom zonelist.
A positive benefit of this is that allocations using MPOL_BIND now use the
local node's distance-ordered zonelist instead of a custom node-id-ordered
zonelist. I.e., pages will be allocated from the closest allowed node with
available memory.

mm: have zonelist contains structs with both a zone pointer and zone_idx
Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx(). This is costly
as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation. As
the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible. The node idx
could also be stored here if it was found that accessing zone->node is
significant which may be the case on workloads where nodemasks are heavily
used.
This patch introduces a struct zoneref to store a zone pointer and a zone
index. The zonelist then consists of an array of these struct zonerefs which
are looked up as necessary. Helpers are given for accessing the zone index as
well as the node index.

mm: use two zonelist that are filtered by GFP mask
Currently a node has two sets of zonelists, one for each zone type in the
system and a second set for GFP_THISNODE allocations. Based on the zones
allowed by a gfp mask, one of these zonelists is selected. All of these
zonelists consume memory and occupy cache lines.
This patch replaces the multiple zonelists per-node with two zonelists. The
first contains all populated zones in the system, ordered by distance, for
fallback allocations when the target/preferred node has no free pages. The
second contains all populated zones in the node suitable for GFP_THISNODE
allocations.
An iterator macro is introduced called for_each_zone_zonelist() that interates
through each zone allowed by the GFP flags in the selected zonelist.

This was tracked down to a potential livelock in
return_unused_surplus_hugepages(). In the case where we have surplus

we iterate a number of times equal to the number of online nodes without
freeing a page.

hugetlb: correct page count for surplus huge pages
Free pages in the hugetlb pool are free and as such have a reference count of
zero. Regular allocations into the pool from the buddy are "freed" into the
pool which results in their page_count dropping to zero. However, surplus
pages can be directly utilized by the caller without first being freed to the
pool. Therefore, a call to put_page_testzero() is in order so that such a
page will be handed to the caller with a correct count.
This has not affected end users because the bad page count is reset before the
page is handed off. However, under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM this triggers a BUG when
the page count is validated.
Thanks go to Mel for first spotting this issue and providing an initial fix.

hugetlb: fix pool shrinking while in restricted cpuset
Adam Litke noticed that currently we grow the hugepage pool independent of any
cpuset the running process may be in, but when shrinking the pool, the cpuset
is checked. This leads to inconsistency when shrinking the pool in a
restricted cpuset -- an administrator may have been able to grow the pool on a
node restricted by a containing cpuset, but they cannot shrink it there.
There are two options: either prevent growing of the pool outside of the
cpuset or allow shrinking outside of the cpuset. >From previous discussions
on linux-mm, /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages is an administrative interface that
should not be restricted by cpusets. So allow shrinking the pool by removing
pages from nodes outside of current's cpuset.

hugetlb: close a difficult to trigger reservation race
A hugetlb reservation may be inadequately backed in the event of racing
allocations and frees when utilizing surplus huge pages. Consider the
following series of events in processes A and B:
A) Allocates some surplus pages to satisfy a reservation
B) Frees some huge pages
A) A notices the extra free pages and drops hugetlb_lock to free some of
its surplus pages back to the buddy allocator.
B) Allocates some huge pages
A) Reacquires hugetlb_lock and returns from gather_surplus_huge_pages()
Avoid this by commiting the reservation after pages have been allocated but
before dropping the lock to free excess pages. For parity, release the
reservation in return_unused_surplus_pages().
This patch also corrects the cpuset_mems_nr() error path in
hugetlb_acct_memory(). If the cpuset check fails, uncommit the
reservation, but also be sure to return any surplus huge pages that may
have been allocated to back the failed reservation.
Thanks to Andy Whitcroft for discovering this.

When we free a page via free_huge_page and we detect that we are in surplus
the page will be returned to the buddy. After this we no longer own the page.
However at the end free_huge_page we clear out our mapping pointer from
page private. Even where the page is not a surplus we free the page to
the hugepage pool, drop the pool locks and then clear page private. In
either case the page may have been reallocated. BAD.

mm: fix PageUptodate data race
After running SetPageUptodate, preceeding stores to the page contents to
actually bring it uptodate may not be ordered with the store to set the
page uptodate.
Therefore, another CPU which checks PageUptodate is true, then reads the
page contents can get stale data.
Fix this by having an smp_wmb before SetPageUptodate, and smp_rmb after
PageUptodate.
Many places that test PageUptodate, do so with the page locked, and this
would be enough to ensure memory ordering in those places if
SetPageUptodate were only called while the page is locked. Unfortunately
that is not always the case for some filesystems, but it could be an idea
for the future.
Also bring the handling of anonymous page uptodateness in line with that of
file backed page management, by marking anon pages as uptodate when they
_are_ uptodate, rather than when our implementation requires that they be
marked as such. Doing allows us to get rid of the smp_wmb's in the page
copying functions, which were especially added for anonymous pages for an
analogous memory ordering problem. Both file and anonymous pages are
handled with the same barriers.
FAQ:
Q. Why not do this in flush_dcache_page?
A. Firstly, flush_dcache_page handles only one side (the smb side) of the
ordering protocol; we'd still need smp_rmb somewhere. Secondly, hiding away
memory barriers in a completely unrelated function is nasty; at least in the
PageUptodate macros, they are located together with (half) the operations
involved in the ordering. Thirdly, the smp_wmb is only required when first
bringing the page uptodate, wheras flush_dcache_page should be called each time
it is written to through the kernel mapping. It is logically the wrong place to
put it.
Q. Why does this increase my text size / reduce my performance / etc.
A. Because it is adding the necessary instructions to eliminate the data-race.
Q. Can it be improved?
A. Yes, eg. if you were to create a rule that all SetPageUptodate operations
run under the page lock, we could avoid the smp_rmb places where PageUptodate
is queried under the page lock. Requires audit of all filesystems and at least
some would need reworking. That's great you're interested, I'm eagerly awaiting
your patches.

The problem occurs durring a fork, in copy_hugetlb_page_range(). It
locates the dst_pte using huge_pte_alloc(). Since huge_pte_alloc() calls
huge_pmd_share() it will share the pmd page if can, yet the main loop in
copy_hugetlb_page_range() does a get_page() on every hugepage. This is a
violation of the shared hugepmd pagetable protocol and creates additional
referenced to the hugepages causing a leak when the unmap of the VMA
occurs. We can skip the entire replication of the ptes when the hugepage
pagetables are shared. The attached patch skips copying the ptes and the
get_page() calls if the hugetlbpage pagetable is shared.

Revert "hugetlb: Add hugetlb_dynamic_pool sysctl"
This reverts commit 54f9f80d6543fb7b157d3b11e2e7911dc1379790 ("hugetlb:
Add hugetlb_dynamic_pool sysctl")
Given the new sysctl nr_overcommit_hugepages, the boolean dynamic pool
sysctl is not needed, as its semantics can be expressed by 0 in the
overcommit sysctl (no dynamic pool) and non-0 in the overcommit sysctl
(pool enabled).
(Needed in 2.6.24 since it reverts a post-2.6.23 userspace-visible change)

hugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl
hugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl
While examining the code to support /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_dynamic_pool, I
became convinced that having a boolean sysctl was insufficient:
1) To support per-node control of hugepages, I have previously submitted
patches to add a sysfs attribute related to nr_hugepages. However, with
a boolean global value and per-mount quota enforcement constraining the
dynamic pool, adding corresponding control of the dynamic pool on a
per-node basis seems inconsistent to me.
2) Administration of the hugetlb dynamic pool with multiple hugetlbfs
mount points is, arguably, more arduous than it needs to be. Each quota
would need to be set separately, and the sum would need to be monitored.
To ease the administration, and to help make the way for per-node
control of the static & dynamic hugepage pool, I added a separate
sysctl, nr_overcommit_hugepages. This value serves as a high watermark
for the overall hugepage pool, while nr_hugepages serves as a low
watermark. The boolean sysctl can then be removed, as the condition
nr_overcommit_hugepages > 0
indicates the same administrative setting as
hugetlb_dynamic_pool == 1
Quotas still serve as local enforcement of the size of the pool on a
per-mount basis.
A few caveats:
1) There is a race whereby the global surplus huge page counter is
incremented before a hugepage has allocated. Another process could then
try grow the pool, and fail to convert a surplus huge page to a normal
huge page and instead allocate a fresh huge page. I believe this is
benign, as no memory is leaked (the actual pages are still tracked
correctly) and the counters won't go out of sync.
2) Shrinking the static pool while a surplus is in effect will allow the
number of surplus huge pages to exceed the overcommit value. As long as
this condition holds, however, no more surplus huge pages will be
allowed on the system until one of the two sysctls are increased
sufficiently, or the surplus huge pages go out of use and are freed.
Successfully tested on x86_64 with the current libhugetlbfs snapshot,
modified to use the new sysctl.

hugetlb: handle write-protection faults in follow_hugetlb_page
The follow_hugetlb_page() fix I posted (merged as git commit
5b23dbe8173c212d6a326e35347b038705603d39) missed one case. If the pte is
present, but not writable and write access is requested by the caller to
get_user_pages(), the code will do the wrong thing. Rather than calling
hugetlb_fault to make the pte writable, it notes the presence of the pte
and continues.
This simple one-liner makes sure we also fault on the pte for this case.
Please apply.

hugetlb: enforce quotas during reservation for shared mappings
When a MAP_SHARED mmap of a hugetlbfs file succeeds, huge pages are reserved
to guarantee no problems will occur later when instantiating pages. If quotas
are in force, page instantiation could fail due to a race with another process
or an oversized (but approved) shared mapping.
To prevent these scenarios, debit the quota for the full reservation amount up
front and credit the unused quota when the reservation is released.

hugetlb: debit quota in alloc_huge_page
Now that quota is credited by free_huge_page(), calls to hugetlb_get_quota()
seem out of place. The alloc/free API is unbalanced because we handle the
hugetlb_put_quota() but expect the caller to open-code hugetlb_get_quota().
Move the get inside alloc_huge_page to clean up this disparity.
This patch has been kept apart from the previous patch because of the somewhat
dodgy ERR_PTR() use herein. Moving the quota logic means that
alloc_huge_page() has two failure modes. Quota failure must result in a
SIGBUS while a standard allocation failure is OOM. Unfortunately, ERR_PTR()
doesn't like the small positive errnos we have in VM_FAULT_* so they must be
negated before they are used.
Does anyone take issue with the way I am using PTR_ERR. If so, what are your
thoughts on how to clean this up (without needing an if,else if,else block at
each alloc_huge_page() callsite)?

hugetlb: fix quota management for private mappings
The hugetlbfs quota management system was never taught to handle MAP_PRIVATE
mappings when that support was added. Currently, quota is debited at page
instantiation and credited at file truncation. This approach works correctly
for shared pages but is incomplete for private pages. In addition to
hugetlb_no_page(), private pages can be instantiated by hugetlb_cow(); but
this function does not respect quotas.
Private huge pages are treated very much like normal, anonymous pages. They
are not "backed" by the hugetlbfs file and are not stored in the mapping's
radix tree. This means that private pages are invisible to
truncate_hugepages() so that function will not credit the quota.
This patch (based on a prototype provided by Ken Chen) moves quota crediting
for all pages into free_huge_page(). page->private is used to store a pointer
to the mapping to which this page belongs. This is used to credit quota on
the appropriate hugetlbfs instance.

hugetlb: split alloc_huge_page into private and shared components
Hugetlbfs implements a quota system which can limit the amount of memory that
can be used by the filesystem. Before allocating a new huge page for a file,
the quota is checked and debited. The quota is then credited when truncating
the file. I found a few bugs in the code for both MAP_PRIVATE and MAP_SHARED
mappings. Before detailing the problems and my proposed solutions, we should
agree on a definition of quotas that properly addresses both private and
shared pages. Since the purpose of quotas is to limit total memory
consumption on a per-filesystem basis, I argue that all pages allocated by the
fs (private and shared) should be charged against quota.
Private Mappings
================
The current code will debit quota for private pages sometimes, but will never
credit it. At a minimum, this causes a leak in the quota accounting which
renders the accounting essentially useless as it is. Shared pages have a one
to one mapping with a hugetlbfs file and are easy to account by debiting on
allocation and crediting on truncate. Private pages are anonymous in nature
and have a many to one relationship with their hugetlbfs files (due to copy on
write). Because private pages are not indexed by the mapping's radix tree,
thier quota cannot be credited at file truncation time. Crediting must be
done when the page is unmapped and freed.
Shared Pages
============
I discovered an issue concerning the interaction between the MAP_SHARED
reservation system and quotas. Since quota is not checked until page
instantiation, an over-quota mmap/reservation will initially succeed. When
instantiating the first over-quota page, the program will receive SIGBUS.
This is inconsistent since the reservation is supposed to be a guarantee. The
solution is to debit the full amount of quota at reservation time and credit
the unused portion when the reservation is released.
This patch series brings quotas back in line by making the following
modifications:
* Private pages
- Debit quota in alloc_huge_page()
- Credit quota in free_huge_page()
* Shared pages
- Debit quota for entire reservation at mmap time
- Credit quota for instantiated pages in free_huge_page()
- Credit quota for unused reservation at munmap time
This patch:
The shared page reservation and dynamic pool resizing features have made the
allocation of private vs. shared huge pages quite different. By splitting
out the private/shared-specific portions of the process into their own
functions, readability is greatly improved. alloc_huge_page now calls the
proper helper and performs common operations.

hugetlb: follow_hugetlb_page() for write access
When calling get_user_pages(), a write flag is passed in by the caller to
indicate if write access is required on the faulted-in pages. Currently,
follow_hugetlb_page() ignores this flag and always faults pages for
read-only access. This can cause data corruption because a device driver
that calls get_user_pages() with write set will not expect COW faults to
occur on the returned pages.
This patch passes the write flag down to follow_hugetlb_page() and makes
sure hugetlb_fault() is called with the right write_access parameter.

hugetlb: fix hugepage allocation with memoryless nodes
Anton found a problem with the hugetlb pool allocation when some nodes have
no memory (http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=118133042025995&w=2). Lee worked
on versions that tried to fix it, but none were accepted. Christoph has
created a set of patches which allow for GFP_THISNODE allocations to fail
if the node has no memory.
Currently, alloc_fresh_huge_page() returns NULL when it is not able to
allocate a huge page on the current node, as specified by its custom
interleave variable. The callers of this function, though, assume that a
failure in alloc_fresh_huge_page() indicates no hugepages can be allocated
on the system period. This might not be the case, for instance, if we have
an uneven NUMA system, and we happen to try to allocate a hugepage on a
node with less memory and fail, while there is still plenty of free memory
on the other nodes.
To correct this, make alloc_fresh_huge_page() search through all online
nodes before deciding no hugepages can be allocated. Add a helper function
for actually allocating the hugepage. Use a new global nid iterator to
control which nid to allocate on.
Note: we expect particular semantics for __GFP_THISNODE, which are now
enforced even for memoryless nodes. That is, there is should be no
fallback to other nodes. Therefore, we rely on the nid passed into
alloc_pages_node() to be the nid the page comes from. If this is
incorrect, accounting will break.
Tested on x86 !NUMA, x86 NUMA, x86_64 NUMA and ppc64 NUMA (with 2
memoryless nodes).

hugetlb: fix pool resizing corner case
When shrinking the size of the hugetlb pool via the nr_hugepages sysctl, we
are careful to keep enough pages around to satisfy reservations. But the
calculation is flawed for the following scenario:
Action Pool Counters (Total, Free, Resv)
====== =============
Set pool to 1 page 1 1 0
Map 1 page MAP_PRIVATE 1 1 0
Touch the page to fault it in 1 0 0
Set pool to 3 pages 3 2 0
Map 2 pages MAP_SHARED 3 2 2
Set pool to 2 pages 2 1 2 <-- Mistake, should be 3 2 2
Touch the 2 shared pages 2 0 1 <-- Program crashes here
The last touch above will terminate the process due to lack of huge pages.
This patch corrects the calculation so that it factors in pages being used
for private mappings. Andrew, this is a standalone fix suitable for
mainline. It is also now corrected in my latest dynamic pool resizing
patchset which I will send out soon.

hugetlb: Add hugetlb_dynamic_pool sysctl
The maximum size of the huge page pool can be controlled using the overall
size of the hugetlb filesystem (via its 'size' mount option). However in the
common case the this will not be set as the pool is traditionally fixed in
size at boot time. In order to maintain the expected semantics, we need to
prevent the pool expanding by default.
This patch introduces a new sysctl controlling dynamic pool resizing. When
this is enabled the pool will expand beyond its base size up to the size of
the hugetlb filesystem. It is disabled by default.

hugetlb: Try to grow hugetlb pool for MAP_SHARED mappings
Shared mappings require special handling because the huge pages needed to
fully populate the VMA must be reserved at mmap time. If not enough pages are
available when making the reservation, allocate all of the shortfall at once
from the buddy allocator and add the pages directly to the hugetlb pool. If
they cannot be allocated, then fail the mapping. The page surplus is
accounted for in the same way as for private mappings; faulted surplus pages
will be freed at unmap time. Reserved, surplus pages that have not been used
must be freed separately when their reservation has been released.

hugetlb: Try to grow hugetlb pool for MAP_PRIVATE mappings
Because we overcommit hugepages for MAP_PRIVATE mappings, it is possible that
the hugetlb pool will be exhausted or completely reserved when a hugepage is
needed to satisfy a page fault. Before killing the process in this situation,
try to allocate a hugepage directly from the buddy allocator.
The explicitly configured pool size becomes a low watermark. When dynamically
grown, the allocated huge pages are accounted as a surplus over the watermark.
As huge pages are freed on a node, surplus pages are released to the buddy
allocator so that the pool will shrink back to the watermark.
Surplus accounting also allows for friendlier explicit pool resizing. When
shrinking a pool that is fully in-use, increase the surplus so pages will be
returned to the buddy allocator as soon as they are freed. When growing a
pool that has a surplus, consume the surplus first and then allocate new
pages.

hugetlb: Move update_and_free_page
Dynamic huge page pool resizing.
In most real-world scenarios, configuring the size of the hugetlb pool
correctly is a difficult task. If too few pages are allocated to the pool,
applications using MAP_SHARED may fail to mmap() a hugepage region and
applications using MAP_PRIVATE may receive SIGBUS. Isolating too much memory
in the hugetlb pool means it is not available for other uses, especially those
programs not using huge pages.
The obvious answer is to let the hugetlb pool grow and shrink in response to
the runtime demand for huge pages. The work Mel Gorman has been doing to
establish a memory zone for movable memory allocations makes dynamically
resizing the hugetlb pool reliable within the limits of that zone. This patch
series implements dynamic pool resizing for private and shared mappings while
being careful to maintain existing semantics. Please reply with your comments
and feedback; even just to say whether it would be a useful feature to you.
Thanks.
How it works
============
Upon depletion of the hugetlb pool, rather than reporting an error immediately,
first try and allocate the needed huge pages directly from the buddy allocator.
Care must be taken to avoid unbounded growth of the hugetlb pool, so the
hugetlb filesystem quota is used to limit overall pool size.
The real work begins when we decide there is a shortage of huge pages. What
happens next depends on whether the pages are for a private or shared mapping.
Private mappings are straightforward. At fault time, if alloc_huge_page()
fails, we allocate a page from the buddy allocator and increment the source
node's surplus_huge_pages counter. When free_huge_page() is called for a page
on a node with a surplus, the page is freed directly to the buddy allocator
instead of the hugetlb pool.
Because shared mappings require all of the pages to be reserved up front, some
additional work must be done at mmap() to support them. We determine the
reservation shortage and allocate the required number of pages all at once.
These pages are then added to the hugetlb pool and marked reserved. Where that
is not possible the mmap() will fail. As with private mappings, the
appropriate surplus counters are updated. Since reserved huge pages won't
necessarily be used by the process, we can't be sure that free_huge_page() will
always be called to return surplus pages to the buddy allocator. To prevent
the huge page pool from bloating, we must free unused surplus pages when their
reservation has ended.
Controlling it
==============
With the entire patch series applied, pool resizing is off by default so unless
specific action is taken, the semantics are unchanged.
To take advantage of the flexibility afforded by this patch series one must
tolerate a change in semantics. To control hugetlb pool growth, the following
techniques can be employed:
* A sysctl tunable to enable/disable the feature entirely
* The size= mount option for hugetlbfs filesystems to limit pool size
Performance
===========
When contiguous memory is readily available, it is expected that the cost of
dynamicly resizing the pool will be small. This series has been performance
tested with 'stream' to measure this cost.
Stream (http://www.cs.virginia.edu/stream/) was linked with libhugetlbfs to
enable remapping of the text and data/bss segments into huge pages.

flush icache before set_pte() on ia64: flush icache at set_pte
Current ia64 kernel flushes icache by lazy_mmu_prot_update() *after*
set_pte(). This is too late. This patch removes lazy_mmu_prot_update and
add modfied set_pte() for flushing if necessary.
This patch flush icache of a page when
new pte has exec bit.
&& new pte has present bit
&& new pte is user's page.
&& (old *ptep is not present
|| new pte's pfn is not same to old *ptep's ptn)
&& new pte's page has no Pg_arch_1 bit.
Pg_arch_1 is set when a page is cache consistent.
I think this condition checks are much easier to understand than considering
"Where sync_icache_dcache() should be inserted ?".
pte_user() for ia64 was removed by http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/12/67 as
clean-up. So, I added it again.

Fix NUMA Memory Policy Reference Counting
This patch proposes fixes to the reference counting of memory policy in the
page allocation paths and in show_numa_map(). Extracted from my "Memory
Policy Cleanups and Enhancements" series as stand-alone.
Shared policy lookup [shmem] has always added a reference to the policy,
but this was never unrefed after page allocation or after formatting the
numa map data.
Default system policy should not require additional ref counting, nor
should the current task's task policy. However, show_numa_map() calls
get_vma_policy() to examine what may be [likely is] another task's policy.
The latter case needs protection against freeing of the policy.
This patch adds a reference count to a mempolicy returned by
get_vma_policy() when the policy is a vma policy or another task's
mempolicy. Again, shared policy is already reference counted on lookup. A
matching "unref" [__mpol_free()] is performed in alloc_page_vma() for
shared and vma policies, and in show_numa_map() for shared and another
task's mempolicy. We can call __mpol_free() directly, saving an admittedly
inexpensive inline NULL test, because we know we have a non-NULL policy.
Handling policy ref counts for hugepages is a bit trickier.
huge_zonelist() returns a zone list that might come from a shared or vma
'BIND policy. In this case, we should hold the reference until after the
huge page allocation in dequeue_hugepage(). The patch modifies
huge_zonelist() to return a pointer to the mempolicy if it needs to be
unref'd after allocation.

mm: fault feedback #1
Change ->fault prototype. We now return an int, which contains
VM_FAULT_xxx code in the low byte, and FAULT_RET_xxx code in the next byte.
FAULT_RET_ code tells the VM whether a page was found, whether it has been
locked, and potentially other things. This is not quite the way he wanted
it yet, but that's changed in the next patch (which requires changes to
arch code).
This means we no longer set VM_CAN_INVALIDATE in the vma in order to say
that a page is locked which requires filemap_nopage to go away (because we
can no longer remain backward compatible without that flag), but we were
going to do that anyway.
struct fault_data is renamed to struct vm_fault as Linus asked. address
is now a void __user * that we should firmly encourage drivers not to use
without really good reason.
The page is now returned via a page pointer in the vm_fault struct.

Allow huge page allocations to use GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE
Huge pages are not movable so are not allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE. However,
as ZONE_MOVABLE will always have pages that can be migrated or reclaimed, it
can be used to satisfy hugepage allocations even when the system has been
running a long time. This allows an administrator to resize the hugepage pool
at runtime depending on the size of ZONE_MOVABLE.
This patch adds a new sysctl called hugepages_treat_as_movable. When a
non-zero value is written to it, future allocations for the huge page pool
will use ZONE_MOVABLE. Despite huge pages being non-movable, we do not
introduce additional external fragmentation of note as huge pages are always
the largest contiguous block we care about.

pretend cpuset has some form of hugetlb page reservation
When cpuset is configured, it breaks the strict hugetlb page reservation as
the accounting is done on a global variable. Such reservation is
completely rubbish in the presence of cpuset because the reservation is not
checked against page availability for the current cpuset. Application can
still potentially OOM'ed by kernel with lack of free htlb page in cpuset
that the task is in. Attempt to enforce strict accounting with cpuset is
almost impossible (or too ugly) because cpuset is too fluid that task or
memory node can be dynamically moved between cpusets.
The change of semantics for shared hugetlb mapping with cpuset is
undesirable. However, in order to preserve some of the semantics, we fall
back to check against current free page availability as a best attempt and
hopefully to minimize the impact of changing semantics that cpuset has on
hugetlb.

(1) create two cpuset, user1 and user2
(2) reserve 50 htlb pages in cpuset user1
(3) attempt to shmget/shmat 50 htlb page inside cpuset user2
(4) kernel oom the user process in step 3
(5) ipcrm the shm segment
At this point resv_huge_pages will have a count of 49, even though
there are no active hugetlbfs file nor hugetlb shared memory segment
in the system. The leak is permanent and there is no recovery method
other than system reboot. The leaked count will hold up all future use
of that many htlb pages in all cpusets.
The culprit is that the error path of alloc_huge_page() did not
properly undo the change it made to resv_huge_page, causing
inconsistent state.

[PATCH] hugetlb: preserve hugetlb pte dirty state
__unmap_hugepage_range() is buggy that it does not preserve dirty state of
huge_pte when unmapping hugepage range. It causes data corruption in the
event of dop_caches being used by sys admin. For example, an application
creates a hugetlb file, modify pages, then unmap it. While leaving the
hugetlb file alive, comes along sys admin doing a "echo 3 >
/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches".
drop_pagecache_sb() will happily free all pages that aren't marked dirty if
there are no active mapping. Later when application remaps the hugetlb
file back and all data are gone, triggering catastrophic flip over on
application.
Not only that, the internal resv_huge_pages count will also get all messed
up. Fix it up by marking page dirty appropriately.

[PATCH] cpuset: rework cpuset_zone_allowed api
Elaborate the API for calling cpuset_zone_allowed(), so that users have to
explicitly choose between the two variants:
cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall()
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall()
Until now, whether or not you got the hardwall flavor depended solely on
whether or not you or'd in the __GFP_HARDWALL gfp flag to the gfp_mask
argument.
If you didn't specify __GFP_HARDWALL, you implicitly got the softwall
version.
Unfortunately, this meant that users would end up with the softwall version
without thinking about it. Since only the softwall version might sleep,
this led to bugs with possible sleeping in interrupt context on more than
one occassion.
The hardwall version requires that the current tasks mems_allowed allows
the node of the specified zone (or that you're in interrupt or that
__GFP_THISNODE is set or that you're on a one cpuset system.)
The softwall version, depending on the gfp_mask, might allow a node if it
was allowed in the nearest enclusing cpuset marked mem_exclusive (which
requires taking the cpuset lock 'callback_mutex' to evaluate.)
This patch removes the cpuset_zone_allowed() call, and forces the caller to
explicitly choose between the hardwall and the softwall case.
If the caller wants the gfp_mask to determine this choice, they should (1)
be sure they can sleep or that __GFP_HARDWALL is set, and (2) invoke the
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine.
This adds another 100 or 200 bytes to the kernel text space, due to the few
lines of nearly duplicate code at the top of both cpuset_zone_allowed_*
routines. It should save a few instructions executed for the calls that
turned into calls of cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall, thanks to not having to
set (before the call) then check (within the call) the __GFP_HARDWALL flag.
For the most critical call, from get_page_from_freelist(), the same
instructions are executed as before -- the old cpuset_zone_allowed()
routine it used to call is the same code as the
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine that it calls now.
Not a perfect win, but seems worth it, to reduce this chance of hitting a
sleeping with irq off complaint again.

[PATCH] htlb forget rss with pt sharing
Imprecise RSS accounting is an irritating ill effect with pt sharing. After
consulted with several VM experts, I have tried various methods to solve that
problem: (1) iterate through all mm_structs that share the PT and increment
count; (2) keep RSS count in page table structure and then sum them up at
reporting time. None of the above methods yield any satisfactory
implementation.
Since process RSS accounting is pure information only, I propose we don't
count them at all for hugetlb page. rlimit has such field, though there is
absolutely no enforcement on limiting that resource. One other method is to
account all RSS at hugetlb mmap time regardless they are faulted or not. I
opt for the simplicity of no accounting at all.
Hugetlb page are special, they are reserved up front in global reservation
pool and is not reclaimable. From physical memory resource point of view, it
is already consumed regardless whether there are users using them.
If the concern is that RSS can be used to control resource allocation, we
already can specify hugetlb fs size limit and sysadmin can enforce that at
mount time. Combined with the two points mentioned above, I fail to see if
there is anything got affected because of this patch.

[PATCH] shared page table for hugetlb page
Following up with the work on shared page table done by Dave McCracken. This
set of patch target shared page table for hugetlb memory only.
The shared page table is particular useful in the situation of large number of
independent processes sharing large shared memory segments. In the normal
page case, the amount of memory saved from process' page table is quite
significant. For hugetlb, the saving on page table memory is not the primary
objective (as hugetlb itself already cuts down page table overhead
significantly), instead, the purpose of using shared page table on hugetlb is
to allow faster TLB refill and smaller cache pollution upon TLB miss.
With PT sharing, pte entries are shared among hundreds of processes, the cache
consumption used by all the page table is smaller and in return, application
gets much higher cache hit ratio. One other effect is that cache hit ratio
with hardware page walker hitting on pte in cache will be higher and this
helps to reduce tlb miss latency. These two effects contribute to higher
application performance.

[PATCH] tightening hugetlb strict accounting
Current hugetlb strict accounting for shared mapping always assume mapping
starts at zero file offset and reserves pages between zero and size of the
file. This assumption often reserves (or lock down) a lot more pages then
necessary if application maps at none zero file offset. libhugetlbfs is
one example that requires proper reservation on shared mapping starts at
none zero offset.
This patch extends the reservation and hugetlb strict accounting to support
any arbitrary pair of (offset, len), resulting a much more robust and
accurate scheme. More importantly, it won't lock down any hugetlb pages
outside file mapping.

[PATCH] optimize follow_hugetlb_page
follow_hugetlb_page() walks a range of user virtual address and then fills
in list of struct page * into an array that is passed from the argument
list. It also gets a reference count via get_page(). For compound page,
get_page() actually traverse back to head page via page_private() macro and
then adds a reference count to the head page. Since we are doing a virt to
pte look up, kernel already has a struct page pointer into the head page.
So instead of traverse into the small unit page struct and then follow a
link back to the head page, optimize that with incrementing the reference
count directly on the head page.
The benefit is that we don't take a cache miss on accessing page struct for
the corresponding user address and more importantly, not to pollute the
cache with a "not very useful" round trip of pointer chasing. This adds a
moderate performance gain on an I/O intensive database transaction
workload.

[PATCH] hugepage: Strict page reservation for hugepage inodes
These days, hugepages are demand-allocated at first fault time. There's a
somewhat dubious (and racy) heuristic when making a new mmap() to check if
there are enough available hugepages to fully satisfy that mapping.
A particularly obvious case where the heuristic breaks down is where a
process maps its hugepages not as a single chunk, but as a bunch of
individually mmap()ed (or shmat()ed) blocks without touching and
instantiating the pages in between allocations. In this case the size of
each block is compared against the total number of available hugepages.
It's thus easy for the process to become overcommitted, because each block
mapping will succeed, although the total number of hugepages required by
all blocks exceeds the number available. In particular, this defeats such
a program which will detect a mapping failure and adjust its hugepage usage
downward accordingly.
The patch below addresses this problem, by strictly reserving a number of
physical hugepages for hugepage inodes which have been mapped, but not
instatiated. MAP_SHARED mappings are thus "safe" - they will fail on
mmap(), not later with an OOM SIGKILL. MAP_PRIVATE mappings can still
trigger an OOM. (Actually SHARED mappings can technically still OOM, but
only if the sysadmin explicitly reduces the hugepage pool between mapping
and instantiation)
This patch appears to address the problem at hand - it allows DB2 to start
correctly, for instance, which previously suffered the failure described
above.
This patch causes no regressions on the libhugetblfs testsuite, and makes a
test (designed to catch this problem) pass which previously failed (ppc64,
POWER5).

[PATCH] hugepage: serialize hugepage allocation and instantiation
Currently, no lock or mutex is held between allocating a hugepage and
inserting it into the pagetables / page cache. When we do go to insert the
page into pagetables or page cache, we recheck and may free the newly
allocated hugepage. However, since the number of hugepages in the system
is strictly limited, and it's usualy to want to use all of them, this can
still lead to spurious allocation failures.
For example, suppose two processes are both mapping (MAP_SHARED) the same
hugepage file, large enough to consume the entire available hugepage pool.
If they race instantiating the last page in the mapping, they will both
attempt to allocate the last available hugepage. One will fail, of course,
returning OOM from the fault and thus causing the process to be killed,
despite the fact that the entire mapping can, in fact, be instantiated.
The patch fixes this race by the simple method of adding a (sleeping) mutex
to serialize the hugepage fault path between allocation and insertion into
pagetables and/or page cache. It would be possible to avoid the
serialization by catching the allocation failures, waiting on some
condition, then rechecking to see if someone else has instantiated the page
for us. Given the likely frequency of hugepage instantiations, it seems
very doubtful it's worth the extra complexity.
This patch causes no regression on the libhugetlbfs testsuite, and one
test, which can trigger this race now passes where it previously failed.
Actually, the test still sometimes fails, though less often and only as a
shmat() failure, rather processes getting OOM killed by the VM. The dodgy
heuristic tests in fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c for whether there's enough hugepage
space aren't protected by the new mutex, and would be ugly to do so, so
there's still a race there. Another patch to replace those tests with
something saner for this reason as well as others coming...

[PATCH] hugepage: Small fixes to hugepage clear/copy path
Move the loops used in mm/hugetlb.c to clear and copy hugepages to their
own functions for clarity. As we do so, we add some checks of need_resched
- we are, after all copying megabytes of memory here. We also add
might_sleep() accordingly. We generally dropped locks around the clear and
copy, already but not everyone has PREEMPT enabled, so we should still be
checking explicitly.
For this to work, we need to remove the clear_huge_page() from
alloc_huge_page(), which is called with the page_table_lock held in the COW
path. We move the clear_huge_page() to just after the alloc_huge_page() in
the hugepage no-page path. In the COW path, the new page is about to be
copied over, so clearing it was just a waste of time anyway. So as a side
effect we also fix the fact that we held the page_table_lock for far too
long in this path by calling alloc_huge_page() under it.

[PATCH] Enable mprotect on huge pages
2.6.16-rc3 uses hugetlb on-demand paging, but it doesn_t support hugetlb
mprotect.
From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
Remove a test from the mprotect() path which checks that the mprotect()ed
range on a hugepage VMA is hugepage aligned (yes, really, the sense of
is_aligned_hugepage_range() is the opposite of what you'd guess :-/).
In fact, we don't need this test. If the given addresses match the
beginning/end of a hugepage VMA they must already be suitably aligned. If
they don't, then mprotect_fixup() will attempt to split the VMA. The very
first test in split_vma() will check for a badly aligned address on a
hugepage VMA and return -EINVAL if necessary.
From: "Chen, Kenneth W" <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com>
On i386 and x86-64, pte flag _PAGE_PSE collides with _PAGE_PROTNONE. The
identify of hugetlb pte is lost when changing page protection via mprotect.
A page fault occurs later will trigger a bug check in huge_pte_alloc().
The fix is to always make new pte a hugetlb pte and also to clean up
legacy code where _PAGE_PRESENT is forced on in the pre-faulting day.

[PATCH] hugepage allocator cleanup
Insert "fresh" huge pages into the hugepage allocator by the same means as
they are freed back into it. This reduces code size and allows

Eliminate occurances of hugepages on the free list with non-zero refcount.

"This patch also eliminates a leak "cleaned up" by re-clobbering the

closer inspection suggests the assignments removed are entirely spurious."

[PATCH] compound page: use page[1].lru
If a compound page has its own put_page_testzero destructor (the only current
example is free_huge_page), that is noted in page[1].mapping of the compound
page. But that's rather a poor place to keep it: functions which call
set_page_dirty_lock after get_user_pages (e.g. Infiniband's
__ib_umem_release) ought to be checking first, otherwise set_page_dirty is
liable to crash on what's not the address of a struct address_space.
And now I'm about to make that worse: it turns out that every compound page
needs a destructor, so we can no longer rely on hugetlb pages going their own
special way, to avoid further problems of page->mapping reuse. For example,
not many people know that: on 50% of i386 -Os builds, the first tail page of a
compound page purports to be PageAnon (when its destructor has an odd
address), which surprises page_add_file_rmap.
Keep the compound page destructor in page[1].lru.next instead. And to free up
the common pairing of mapping and index, also move compound page order from
index to lru.prev. Slab reuses page->lru too: but if we ever need slab to use
compound pages, it can easily stack its use above this.
(akpm: decoded version of the above: the tail pages of a compound page now
have ->mapping==NULL, so there's no need for the set_page_dirty[_lock]()
caller to check that they're not compund pages before doing the dirty).

Adam Litke objected to this piece in an earlier patch but I think this is a

[PATCH] mm: dequeue a huge page near to this node
This was discussed at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113166526217117&w=2
This patch changes the dequeueing to select a huge page near the node
executing instead of always beginning to check for free nodes from node 0.
This will result in a placement of the huge pages near the executing
processor improving performance.
The existing implementation can place the huge pages far away from the
executing processor causing significant degradation of performance. The
search starting from zero also means that the lower zones quickly run out
of memory. Selecting a huge page near the process distributed the huge
pages better.

[PATCH] Hugetlb: Copy on Write support
Implement copy-on-write support for hugetlb mappings so MAP_PRIVATE can be
supported. This helps us to safely use hugetlb pages in many more
applications. The patch makes the following changes. If needed, I also have
it broken out according to the following paragraphs.
1. Add a pair of functions to set/clear write access on huge ptes. The
writable check in make_huge_pte is moved out to the caller for use by COW
later.
2. Hugetlb copy-on-write requires special case handling in the following
situations:
- copy_hugetlb_page_range() - Copied pages must be write protected so
a COW fault will be triggered (if necessary) if those pages are written
to.
- find_or_alloc_huge_page() - Only MAP_SHARED pages are added to the
page cache. MAP_PRIVATE pages still need to be locked however.
3. Provide hugetlb_cow() and calls from hugetlb_fault() and
hugetlb_no_page() which handles the COW fault by making the actual copy.
4. Remove the check in hugetlbfs_file_map() so that MAP_PRIVATE mmaps
will be allowed. Make MAP_HUGETLB exempt from the depricated VM_RESERVED
mapping check.

[PATCH] hugetlb: fix race in set_max_huge_pages for multiple updaters of nr_huge_pages
If there are multiple updaters to /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages simultaneously
it is possible for the nr_huge_pages variable to become incorrect. There
is no locking in the set_max_huge_pages function around
alloc_fresh_huge_page which is able to update nr_huge_pages. Two callers
to alloc_fresh_huge_page could race against each other as could a call to
alloc_fresh_huge_page and a call to update_and_free_page. This patch just
expands the area covered by the hugetlb_lock to cover the call into
alloc_fresh_huge_page. I'm not sure how we could say that a sysctl section
is performance critical where more specific locking would be needed.
My reproducer was to run a couple copies of the following script
simultaneously
while [ true ]; do
echo 1000 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
echo 500 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
echo 750 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
done
and then watch /proc/meminfo and eventually you will see things like
HugePages_Total: 100
HugePages_Free: 109
After applying the patch all seemed well.

Remove the page_table_lock from around the calls to unmap_vmas, and replace

now safe to descend without page_table_lock.
Don't attempt fancy locking for hugepages, just take page_table_lock in
unmap_hugepage_range. Which makes zap_hugepage_range, and the hugetlb test in
zap_page_range, redundant: unmap_vmas calls unmap_hugepage_range anyway. Nor
does unmap_vmas have much use for its mm arg now.
The tlb_start_vma and tlb_end_vma in unmap_page_range are now called without
page_table_lock: if they're implemented at all, they typically come down to
flush_cache_range (usually done outside page_table_lock) and flush_tlb_range
(which we already audited for the mprotect case).

[PATCH] mm: ptd_alloc take ptlock
Second step in pushing down the page_table_lock. Remove the temporary
bridging hack from __pud_alloc, __pmd_alloc, __pte_alloc: expect callers not
to hold page_table_lock, whether it's on init_mm or a user mm; take
page_table_lock internally to check if a racing task already allocated.
Convert their callers from common code. But avoid coming back to change them
again later: instead of moving the spin_lock(&mm->page_table_lock) down,
switch over to new macros pte_alloc_map_lock and pte_unmap_unlock, which
encapsulate the mapping+locking and unlocking+unmapping together, and in the
end may use alternatives to the mm page_table_lock itself.
These callers all hold mmap_sem (some exclusively, some not), so at no level
can a page table be whipped away from beneath them; and pte_alloc uses the
"atomic" pmd_present to test whether it needs to allocate. It appears that on
all arches we can safely descend without page_table_lock.

[PATCH] mm: update_hiwaters just in time
update_mem_hiwater has attracted various criticisms, in particular from those
concerned with mm scalability. Originally it was called whenever rss or
total_vm got raised. Then many of those callsites were replaced by a timer
tick call from account_system_time. Now Frank van Maarseveen reports that to
be found inadequate. How about this? Works for Frank.
Replace update_mem_hiwater, a poor combination of two unrelated ops, by macros
update_hiwater_rss and update_hiwater_vm. Don't attempt to keep
mm->hiwater_rss up to date at timer tick, nor every time we raise rss (usually
by 1): those are hot paths. Do the opposite, update only when about to lower
rss (usually by many), or just before final accounting in do_exit. Handle
mm->hiwater_vm in the same way, though it's much less of an issue. Demand
that whoever collects these hiwater statistics do the work of taking the
maximum with rss or total_vm.
And there has been no collector of these hiwater statistics in the tree. The
new convention needs an example, so match Frank's usage by adding a VmPeak
line above VmSize to /proc/<pid>/status, and also a VmHWM line above VmRSS
(High-Water-Mark or High-Water-Memory).
There was a particular anomaly during mremap move, that hiwater_vm might be
captured too high. A fleeting such anomaly remains, but it's quickly
corrected now, whereas before it would stick.
What locking? None: if the app is racy then these statistics will be racy,
it's not worth any overhead to make them exact. But whenever it suits,
hiwater_vm is updated under exclusive mmap_sem, and hiwater_rss under
page_table_lock (for now) or with preemption disabled (later on): without
going to any trouble, minimize the time between reading current values and
updating, to minimize those occasions when a racing thread bumps a count up
and back down in between.

[PATCH] mm: rss = file_rss + anon_rss
I was lazy when we added anon_rss, and chose to change as few places as
possible. So currently each anonymous page has to be counted twice, in rss
and in anon_rss. Which won't be so good if those are atomic counts in some
configurations.
Change that around: keep file_rss and anon_rss separately, and add them
together (with get_mm_rss macro) when the total is needed - reading two
atomics is much cheaper than updating two atomics. And update anon_rss
upfront, typically in memory.c, not tucked away in page_add_anon_rmap.

This reverts commit 3359b54c8c07338f3a863d1109b42eebccdcf379 and
replaces it with a cleaner version that is purely based on page table
operations, so that the synchronization between inode size and hugetlb
mappings becomes moot.

[PATCH] mm: hugetlb truncation fixes
hugetlbfs allows truncation of its files (should it?), but hugetlb.c often
forgets that: crashes and misaccounting ensue.
copy_hugetlb_page_range better grab the src page_table_lock since we don't
want to guess what happens if concurrently truncated. unmap_hugepage_range
rss accounting must not assume the full range was mapped. follow_hugetlb_page
must guard with page_table_lock and be prepared to exit early.
Restyle copy_hugetlb_page_range with a for loop like the others there.

[PATCH] hugetlb: move stale pte check into huge_pte_alloc()
Initial Post (Wed, 17 Aug 2005)
This patch moves the
if (! pte_none(*pte))
hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable(pte);
logic into huge_pte_alloc() so all of its callers can be immune to the bug
described by Kenneth Chen at http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/6/16/246
> It turns out there is a bug in hugetlb_prefault(): with 3 level page table,
> huge_pte_alloc() might return a pmd that points to a PTE page. It happens
> if the virtual address for hugetlb mmap is recycled from previously used
> normal page mmap. free_pgtables() might not scrub the pmd entry on
> munmap and hugetlb_prefault skips on any pmd presence regardless what type
> it is.
Unless I am missing something, it seems more correct to place the check inside
huge_pte_alloc() to prevent a the same bug wherever a huge pte is allocated.
It also allows checking for this condition when lazily faulting huge pages
later in the series.

[PATCH] Fix hugepage crash on failing mmap()
This patch fixes a crash in the hugepage code. unmap_hugepage_area() was
assuming that (due to prefault) PTEs must exist for all the area in
question. However, this may not be the case, if mmap() encounters an error
before the prefault and calls unmap_region() to clean up any partial
mapping.
Depending on the hugepage configuration, this crash can be triggered by an
unpriveleged user.

[PATCH] Hugepage consolidation
A lot of the code in arch/*/mm/hugetlbpage.c is quite similar. This patch
attempts to consolidate a lot of the code across the arch's, putting the
combined version in mm/hugetlb.c. There are a couple of uglyish hacks in
order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large
reduction in the total amount of code. It also means things like hugepage
lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six.
Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64.
Notes:
- this patch changes the meaning of set_huge_pte() to be more
analagous to set_pte()
- does SH4 need s special huge_ptep_get_and_clear()??

Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
