We want to limit the use of page_mapcount() to places where absolutely
required, to prepare for kernel configs where we won't keep track of
per-page mapcounts in large folios.
khugepaged is one of the remaining "more challenging" page_mapcount()
users, but we might be able to move away from page_mapcount() without
resulting in a significant behavior change that would warrant
special-casing based on kernel configs.
In 2020, we first added support to khugepaged for collapsing COW-shared
pages via commit 9445689f3b61 ("khugepaged: allow to collapse a page
shared across fork"), followed by support for collapsing PTE-mapped THP in
commit 5503fbf2b0b8 ("khugepaged: allow to collapse PTE-mapped compound
pages") and limiting the memory waste via the "page_count() > 1" check in
commit 71a2c112a0f6 ("khugepaged: introduce 'max_ptes_shared' tunable").
As a default, khugepaged will allow up to half of the PTEs to map shared
pages: where page_mapcount() > 1. MADV_COLLAPSE ignores the khugepaged
setting.
khugepaged does currently not care about swapcache page references, and
does not check under folio lock: so in some corner cases the "shared vs.
exclusive" detection might be a bit off, making us detect "exclusive" when
it's actually "shared".
Most of our anonymous folios in the system are usually exclusive. We
frequently see sharing of anonymous folios for a short period of time,
after which our short-lived suprocesses either quit or exec().
There are some famous examples, though, where child processes exist for a
long time, and where memory is COW-shared with a lot of processes
(webservers, webbrowsers, sshd, ...) and COW-sharing is crucial for
reducing the memory footprint. We don't want to suddenly change the
behavior to result in a significant increase in memory waste.
Interestingly, khugepaged will only collapse an anonymous THP if at least
one PTE is writable. After fork(), that means that something (usually a
page fault) populated at least a single exclusive anonymous THP in that
PMD range.
So ... what happens when we switch to "is this folio mapped shared"
instead of "is this page mapped shared" by using
folio_likely_mapped_shared()?
For "not-COW-shared" folios, small folios and for THPs (large folios) that
are completely mapped into at least one process, switching to
folio_likely_mapped_shared() will not result in a change.
We'll only see a change for COW-shared PTE-mapped THPs that are partially
mapped into all involved processes.
There are two cases to consider:
(A) folio_likely_mapped_shared() returns "false" for a PTE-mapped THP
If the folio is detected as exclusive, and it actually is exclusive,
there is no change: page_mapcount() == 1. This is the common case
without fork() or with short-lived child processes.
folio_likely_mapped_shared() might currently still detect a folio as
exclusive although it is shared (false negatives): if the first page is
not mapped multiple times and if the average per-page mapcount is smaller
than 1, implying that (1) the folio is partially mapped and (2) if we are
responsible for many mapcounts by mapping many pages others can't
("mostly exclusive") (3) if we are not responsible for many mapcounts by
mapping little pages ("mostly shared") it won't make a big impact on the
end result.
So while we might now detect a page as "exclusive" although it isn't,
it's not expected to make a big difference in common cases.
(B) folio_likely_mapped_shared() returns "true" for a PTE-mapped THP
folio_likely_mapped_shared() will never detect a large anonymous folio
as shared although it is exclusive: there are no false positives.
If we detect a THP as shared, at least one page of the THP is mapped by
another process. It could well be that some pages are actually exclusive.
For example, our child processes could have unmapped/COW'ed some pages
such that they would now be exclusive to out process, which we now
would treat as still-shared.
Examples:
(1) Parent maps all pages of a THP, child maps some pages. We detect
all pages in the parent as shared although some are actually
exclusive.
(2) Parent maps all but some page of a THP, child maps the remainder.
We detect all pages of the THP that the parent maps as shared
although they are all exclusive.
In (1) we wouldn't collapse a THP right now already: no PTE
is writable, because a write fault would have resulted in COW of a
single page and the parent would no longer map all pages of that THP.
For (2) we would have collapsed a THP in the parent so far, now we
wouldn't as long as the child process is still alive: unless the child
process unmaps the remaining THP pages or we decide to split that THP.
Possibly, the child COW'ed many pages, meaning that it's likely that
we can populate a THP for our child first, and then for our parent.
For (2), we are making really bad use of the THP in the first
place (not even mapped completely in at least one process). If the
THP would be completely partially mapped, it would be on the deferred
split queue where we would split it lazily later.
For short-running child processes, we don't particularly care. For
long-running processes, the expectation is that such scenarios are
rather rare: further, a THP might be best placed if most data in the
PMD range is actually written, implying that we'll have to COW more
pages first before khugepaged would collapse it.
To summarize, in the common case, this change is not expected to matter
much. The more common application of khugepaged operates on exclusive
pages, either before fork() or after a child quit.
Can we improve (A)? Yes, if we implement more precise tracking of "mapped
shared" vs. "mapped exclusively", we could get rid of the false negatives
completely.
Can we improve (B)? We could count how many pages of a large folio we map
inside the current page table and detect that we are responsible for most
of the folio mapcount and conclude "as good as exclusive", which might
help in some cases. ... but likely, some other mechanism should detect
that the THP is not a good use in the scenario (not even mapped completely
in a single process) and try splitting that folio lazily etc.
We'll move the folio_test_anon() check before our "shared" check, so we
might get more expressive results for SCAN_EXCEED_SHARED_PTE: this order
of checks now matches the one in __collapse_huge_page_isolate(). Extend
documentation.

Let's track the mapcount of large folios in a single value. The mapcount
of a large folio currently corresponds to the sum of the entire mapcount
and all page mapcounts.
This sum is what we actually want to know in folio_mapcount() and it is
also sufficient for implementing folio_mapped().
With PTE-mapped THP becoming more important and more widely used, we want
to avoid looping over all pages of a folio just to obtain the mapcount of
large folios. The comment "In the common case, avoid the loop when no
pages mapped by PTE" in folio_total_mapcount() does no longer hold for
mTHP that are always mapped by PTE.
Further, we are planning on using folio_mapcount() more frequently, and
might even want to remove page mapcounts for large folios in some kernel
configs. Therefore, allow for reading the mapcount of large folios
efficiently and atomically without looping over any pages.
Maintain the mapcount also for hugetlb pages for simplicity. Use the new
mapcount to implement folio_mapcount() and folio_mapped(). Make
page_mapped() simply call folio_mapped(). We can now get rid of
folio_large_is_mapped().
_nr_pages_mapped is now only used in rmap code and for debugging purposes.
Keep folio_nr_pages_mapped() around, but document that its use should be
limited to rmap internals and debugging purposes.
This change implies one additional atomic add/sub whenever
mapping/unmapping (parts of) a large folio.
As we now batch RMAP operations for PTE-mapped THP during fork(), during
unmap/zap, and when PTE-remapping a PMD-mapped THP, and we adjust the
large mapcount for a PTE batch only once, the added overhead in the common
case is small. Only when unmapping individual pages of a large folio
(e.g., during COW), the overhead might be bigger in comparison, but it's
essentially one additional atomic operation.
Note that before the new mapcount would overflow, already our refcount
would overflow: each mapping requires a folio reference. Extend the
focumentation of folio_mapcount().

Patch series "khugepaged folio conversions".
We've been kind of hacking piecemeal at converting khugepaged to use
folios instead of compound pages, and so this patchset is a little larger
than it should be as I undo some of our wrong moves in the past. In
particular, collapse_file() now consistently uses 'new_folio' for the
freshly allocated folio and 'folio' for the one that's currently in use.
This patch (of 7):
This function has one caller, and the combined function is simpler to
read, reason about and modify.

khugepaged scans the entire address space in the background for each
given mm, looking for opportunities to merge sequences of basic pages
into huge pages. However, when an mm is inserted to the mm_slots list,
and the MMF_DISABLE_THP flag is set later, this scanning process
becomes unnecessary for that mm and can be skipped to avoid redundant
operations, especially in scenarios with a large address space.
On an Intel Core i5 CPU, the time taken by khugepaged to scan the
address space of the process, which has been set with the
MMF_DISABLE_THP flag after being added to the mm_slots list, is as
follows (shorter is better):
VMA Count | Old | New | Change
---------------------------------------
50 | 23us | 9us | -60.9%
100 | 32us | 9us | -71.9%
200 | 44us | 9us | -79.5%
400 | 75us | 9us | -88.0%
800 | 98us | 9us | -90.8%
Once the count of VMAs for the process exceeds page_to_scan, khugepaged
needs to wait for scan_sleep_millisecs ms before scanning the next
process. IMO, unnecessary scans could actually be skipped with a very
inexpensive mm->flags check in this case.
This commit introduces a check before each scanning process to test the
MMF_DISABLE_THP flag for the given mm; if the flag is set, the scanning
process is bypassed, thereby improving the efficiency of khugepaged.
This optimization is not a correctness issue but rather an enhancement
to save expensive checks on each VMA when userspace cannot prctl itself
before spawning into the new process.
On some servers within our company, we deploy a daemon responsible for
monitoring and updating local applications. Some applications prefer
not to use THP, so the daemon calls prctl to disable THP before
fork/exec. Conversely, for other applications, the daemon calls prctl
to enable THP before fork/exec.
Ideally, the daemon should invoke prctl after the fork, but its current
implementation follows the described approach. In the Go standard
library, there is no direct encapsulation of the fork system call;
instead, fork and execve are combined into one through
syscall.ForkExec.

A freezable kernel thread can enter frozen state during freezing by either
calling try_to_freeze() or using wait_event_freezable() and its variants.
However, there is no need to use both methods simultaneously. The
freezable wait variants have been used in khugepaged_wait_work() and
khugepaged_alloc_sleep(), so remove this redundant try_to_freeze().
I used the following stress-ng command to generate some memory load on my
Intel Alder Lake board (24 CPUs, 32G memory).
stress-ng --vm 48 --vm-bytes 90%
The worst freezing latency is:
Freezing user space processes
Freezing user space processes completed (elapsed 0.040 seconds)
OOM killer disabled.
Freezing remaining freezable tasks
Freezing remaining freezable tasks completed (elapsed 0.001 seconds)
Without the faked memory load, the freezing latency is:
Freezing user space processes
Freezing user space processes completed (elapsed 0.000 seconds)
OOM killer disabled.

Implement the uABI of UFFDIO_MOVE ioctl.
UFFDIO_COPY performs ~20% better than UFFDIO_MOVE when the application
needs pages to be allocated [1]. However, with UFFDIO_MOVE, if pages are
available (in userspace) for recycling, as is usually the case in heap
compaction algorithms, then we can avoid the page allocation and memcpy
(done by UFFDIO_COPY). Also, since the pages are recycled in the
userspace, we avoid the need to release (via madvise) the pages back to
the kernel [2].
We see over 40% reduction (on a Google pixel 6 device) in the compacting
thread's completion time by using UFFDIO_MOVE vs. UFFDIO_COPY. This was
measured using a benchmark that emulates a heap compaction implementation
using userfaultfd (to allow concurrent accesses by application threads).
More details of the usecase are explained in [2]. Furthermore,
UFFDIO_MOVE enables moving swapped-out pages without touching them within
the same vma. Today, it can only be done by mremap, however it forces
splitting the vma.

Update for the ioctl_userfaultfd(2) manpage:
UFFDIO_MOVE
(Since Linux xxx) Move a continuous memory chunk into the
userfault registered range and optionally wake up the blocked
thread. The source and destination addresses and the number of
bytes to move are specified by the src, dst, and len fields of
the uffdio_move structure pointed to by argp:
struct uffdio_move {
__u64 dst; /* Destination of move */
__u64 src; /* Source of move */
__u64 len; /* Number of bytes to move */
__u64 mode; /* Flags controlling behavior of move */
__s64 move; /* Number of bytes moved, or negated error */
};
The following value may be bitwise ORed in mode to change the
behavior of the UFFDIO_MOVE operation:
UFFDIO_MOVE_MODE_DONTWAKE
Do not wake up the thread that waits for page-fault
resolution
UFFDIO_MOVE_MODE_ALLOW_SRC_HOLES
Allow holes in the source virtual range that is being moved.
When not specified, the holes will result in ENOENT error.
When specified, the holes will be accounted as successfully
moved memory. This is mostly useful to move hugepage aligned
virtual regions without knowing if there are transparent
hugepages in the regions or not, but preventing the risk of
having to split the hugepage during the operation.
The move field is used by the kernel to return the number of
bytes that was actually moved, or an error (a negated errno-
style value). If the value returned in move doesn't match the
value that was specified in len, the operation fails with the
error EAGAIN. The move field is output-only; it is not read by
the UFFDIO_MOVE operation.
The operation may fail for various reasons. Usually, remapping of
pages that are not exclusive to the given process fail; once KSM
might deduplicate pages or fork() COW-shares pages during fork()
with child processes, they are no longer exclusive. Further, the
kernel might only perform lightweight checks for detecting whether
the pages are exclusive, and return -EBUSY in case that check fails.
To make the operation more likely to succeed, KSM should be
disabled, fork() should be avoided or MADV_DONTFORK should be
configured for the source VMA before fork().
This ioctl(2) operation returns 0 on success. In this case, the
entire area was moved. On error, -1 is returned and errno is
set to indicate the error. Possible errors include:
EAGAIN The number of bytes moved (i.e., the value returned in
the move field) does not equal the value that was
specified in the len field.
EINVAL Either dst or len was not a multiple of the system page
size, or the range specified by src and len or dst and len
was invalid.
EINVAL An invalid bit was specified in the mode field.
ENOENT
The source virtual memory range has unmapped holes and
UFFDIO_MOVE_MODE_ALLOW_SRC_HOLES is not set.
EEXIST
The destination virtual memory range is fully or partially
mapped.
EBUSY
The pages in the source virtual memory range are either
pinned or not exclusive to the process. The kernel might
only perform lightweight checks for detecting whether the
pages are exclusive. To make the operation more likely to
succeed, KSM should be disabled, fork() should be avoided
or MADV_DONTFORK should be configured for the source virtual
memory area before fork().
ENOMEM Allocating memory needed for the operation failed.
ESRCH
The target process has exited at the time of a UFFDIO_MOVE
operation.

In preparation for adding support for anonymous multi-size THP, introduce
new sysfs structure that will be used to control the new behaviours. A
new directory is added under transparent_hugepage for each supported THP
size, and contains an `enabled` file, which can be set to "inherit" (to
inherit the global setting), "always", "madvise" or "never". For now, the
kernel still only supports PMD-sized anonymous THP, so only 1 directory is
populated.
The first half of the change converts transhuge_vma_suitable() and
hugepage_vma_check() so that they take a bitfield of orders for which the
user wants to determine support, and the functions filter out all the
orders that can't be supported, given the current sysfs configuration and
the VMA dimensions. The resulting functions are renamed to
thp_vma_suitable_orders() and thp_vma_allowable_orders() respectively.
Convenience functions that take a single, unencoded order and return a
boolean are also defined as thp_vma_suitable_order() and
thp_vma_allowable_order().
The second half of the change implements the new sysfs interface. It has
been done so that each supported THP size has a `struct thpsize`, which
describes the relevant metadata and is itself a kobject. This is pretty
minimal for now, but should make it easy to add new per-thpsize files to
the interface if needed in future (e.g. per-size defrag). Rather than
keep the `enabled` state directly in the struct thpsize, I've elected to
directly encode it into huge_anon_orders_[always|madvise|inherit]
bitfields since this reduces the amount of work required in
thp_vma_allowable_orders() which is called for every page fault.
See Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst, as modified by this
commit, for details of how the new sysfs interface works.

This removes 2 calls to compound_head() and helps convert khugepaged to
use folios throughout.
Previously, if the address passed to collapse_pte_mapped_thp()
corresponded to a tail page, the scan would fail immediately. Using
filemap_lock_folio() we get the corresponding folio back and try to
operate on the folio instead.

Jann Horn demonstrated how userfaultfd ioctl UFFDIO_COPY into a private
shmem mapping can add valid PTEs to page table collapse_pte_mapped_thp()
thought it had emptied: page lock on the huge page is enough to protect
against WP faults (which find the PTE has been cleared), but not enough to
protect against userfaultfd. "BUG: Bad rss-counter state" followed.
retract_page_tables() protects against this by checking !vma->anon_vma;
but we know that MADV_COLLAPSE needs to be able to work on private shmem
mappings, even those with an anon_vma prepared for another part of the
mapping; and we know that MADV_COLLAPSE needs to work on shared shmem
mappings which are userfaultfd_armed(). Whether it needs to work on
private shmem mappings which are userfaultfd_armed(), I'm not so sure: but
assume that it does.
Just for this case, take the pmd_lock() two steps earlier: not because it
gives any protection against this case itself, but because ptlock nests
inside it, and it's the dropping of ptlock which let the bug in. In other
cases, continue to minimize the pmd_lock() hold time.

Now that retract_page_tables() can retract page tables reliably, without
depending on trylocks, delete all the apparatus for khugepaged to try
again later: khugepaged_collapse_pte_mapped_thps() etc; and free up the
per-mm memory which was set aside for that in the khugepaged_mm_slot.
But one part of that is worth keeping: when hpage_collapse_scan_file()
found SCAN_PTE_MAPPED_HUGEPAGE, that address was noted in the mm_slot to
be tried for retraction later - catching, for example, page tables where a
reversible mprotect() of a portion had required splitting the pmd, but now
it can be recollapsed. Call collapse_pte_mapped_thp() directly in this
case (why was it deferred before? I assume an issue with needing
mmap_lock for write, but now it's only needed for read).

Bring collapse_and_free_pmd() back into collapse_pte_mapped_thp(). It
does need mmap_read_lock(), but it does not need mmap_write_lock(), nor
vma_start_write() nor i_mmap lock nor anon_vma lock. All racing paths are
relying on pte_offset_map_lock() and pmd_lock(), so use those.
Follow the pattern in retract_page_tables(); and using pte_free_defer()
removes most of the need for tlb_remove_table_sync_one() here; but call
pmdp_get_lockless_sync() to use it in the PAE case.
First check the VMA, in case page tables are being torn down: from JannH.
Confirm the preliminary find_pmd_or_thp_or_none() once page lock has been
acquired and the page looks suitable: from then on its state is stable.
However, collapse_pte_mapped_thp() was doing something others don't:
freeing a page table still containing "valid" entries. i_mmap lock did
stop a racing truncate from double-freeing those pages, but we prefer
collapse_pte_mapped_thp() to clear the entries as usual. Their TLB flush
can wait until the pmdp_collapse_flush() which follows, but the
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() has to be done earlier.
Do the "step 1" checking loop without mmu_notifier: it wouldn't be good
for khugepaged to keep on repeatedly invalidating a range which is then
found unsuitable e.g. contains COWs. "step 2", which does the clearing,
must then be more careful (after dropping ptl to do mmu_notifier), with
abort prepared to correct the accounting like "step 3". But with those
entries now cleared, "step 4" (after dropping ptl to do pmd_lock) is kept
safe by the huge page lock, which stops new PTEs from being faulted in.

Simplify shmem and file THP collapse's retract_page_tables(), and relax
its locking: to improve its success rate and to lessen impact on others.
Instead of its MADV_COLLAPSE case doing set_huge_pmd() at target_addr of
target_mm, leave that part of the work to madvise_collapse() calling
collapse_pte_mapped_thp() afterwards: just adjust collapse_file()'s result
code to arrange for that. That spares retract_page_tables() four
arguments; and since it will be successful in retracting all of the page
tables expected of it, no need to track and return a result code itself.
It needs i_mmap_lock_read(mapping) for traversing the vma interval tree,
but it does not need i_mmap_lock_write() for that: page_vma_mapped_walk()
allows for pte_offset_map_lock() etc to fail, and uses pmd_lock() for
THPs. retract_page_tables() just needs to use those same spinlocks to
exclude it briefly, while transitioning pmd from page table to none: so
restore its use of pmd_lock() inside of which pte lock is nested.
Users of pte_offset_map_lock() etc all now allow for them to fail: so
retract_page_tables() now has no use for mmap_write_trylock() or
vma_try_start_write(). In common with rmap and page_vma_mapped_walk(), it
does not even need the mmap_read_lock().
But those users do expect the page table to remain a good page table,
until they unlock and rcu_read_unlock(): so the page table cannot be freed
immediately, but rather by the recently added pte_free_defer().
Use the (usually a no-op) pmdp_get_lockless_sync() to send an interrupt
when PAE, and pmdp_collapse_flush() did not already do so: to make sure
that the start,pmdp_get_lockless(),end sequence in __pte_offset_map()
cannot pick up a pmd entry with mismatched pmd_low and pmd_high.
retract_page_tables() can be enhanced to replace_page_tables(), which
inserts the final huge pmd without mmap lock: going through an invalid
state instead of pmd_none() followed by fault. But that enhancement does
raise some more questions: leave it until a later release.

Patch series "mm, netfs, fscache: Stop read optimisation when folio
removed from pagecache", v7.
This fixes an optimisation in fscache whereby we don't read from the cache
for a particular file until we know that there's data there that we don't
have in the pagecache. The problem is that I'm no longer using PG_fscache
(aka PG_private_2) to indicate that the page is cached and so I don't get
a notification when a cached page is dropped from the pagecache.
The first patch merges some folio_has_private() and
filemap_release_folio() pairs and introduces a helper,
folio_needs_release(), to indicate if a release is required.
The second patch is the actual fix. Following Willy's suggestions[1], it
adds an AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS flag to an address_space that will make
filemap_release_folio() always call ->release_folio(), even if
PG_private/PG_private_2 aren't set. folio_needs_release() is altered to
add a check for this.
This patch (of 2):
Make filemap_release_folio() check folio_has_private(). Then, in most
cases, where a call to folio_has_private() is immediately followed by a
call to filemap_release_folio(), we can get rid of the test in the pair.
There are a couple of sites in mm/vscan.c that this can't so easily be
done. In shrink_folio_list(), there are actually three cases (something
different is done for incompletely invalidated buffers), but
filemap_release_folio() elides two of them.
In shrink_active_list(), we don't have have the folio lock yet, so the
check allows us to avoid locking the page unnecessarily.
A wrapper function to check if a folio needs release is provided for those
places that still need to do it in the mm/ directory. This will acquire
additional parts to the condition in a future patch.
After this, the only remaining caller of folio_has_private() outside of
mm/ is a check in fuse.

As the number of ksm zero pages is not included in ksm_merging_pages per
process when enabling use_zero_pages, it's unclear of how many actual
pages are merged by KSM. To let users accurately estimate their memory
demands when unsharing KSM zero-pages, it's necessary to show KSM zero-
pages per process. In addition, it help users to know the actual KSM
profit because KSM-placed zero pages are also benefit from KSM.
since unsharing zero pages placed by KSM accurately is achieved, then
tracking empty pages merging and unmerging is not a difficult thing any
longer.
Since we already have /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat, just add the information of
'ksm_zero_pages' in it.

As pages_sharing and pages_shared don't include the number of zero pages
merged by KSM, we cannot know how many pages are zero pages placed by KSM
when enabling use_zero_pages, which leads to KSM not being transparent
with all actual merged pages by KSM. In the early days of use_zero_pages,
zero-pages was unable to get unshared by the ways like MADV_UNMERGEABLE so
it's hard to count how many times one of those zeropages was then
unmerged.
But now, unsharing KSM-placed zero page accurately has been achieved, so
we can easily count both how many times a page full of zeroes was merged
with zero-page and how many times one of those pages was then unmerged.
and so, it helps to estimate memory demands when each and every shared
page could get unshared.
So we add ksm_zero_pages under /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/ to show the number
of all zero pages placed by KSM. Meanwhile, we update the Documentation.

i_pages lock nests inside i_lock, but shmem_charge() and shmem_uncharge()
were being called from THP splitting or collapsing while i_pages lock was
held, and now go on to call dquot_alloc_block_nodirty() which takes
i_lock to update i_blocks.
We may well want to take i_lock out of this path later, in the non-quota
case even if it's left in the quota case (or perhaps use i_lock instead
of shmem's info->lock throughout); but don't get into that at this time.
Move the shmem_charge() and shmem_uncharge() calls out from under i_pages
lock, accounting the full batch of holes in a single call.
Still pass the pages argument to shmem_uncharge(), but it happens now to
be unused: shmem_recalc_inode() is designed to account for clean pages
freed behind shmem's back, so it gets the accounting right by itself;
then the later call to shmem_inode_unacct_blocks() led to imbalance
(that WARN_ON(inode->i_blocks) in shmem_evict_inode()).

There is no xas_pause(&xas) in collapse_file()'s main loop, at the points
where it does xas_unlock_irq(&xas) and then continues.
That would explain why, once two weeks ago and twice yesterday, I have
hit the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page != xas_load(&xas), page) since "mm/khugepaged:
fix iteration in collapse_file" removed the xas_set(&xas, index) just
before it: xas.xa_node could be left pointing to a stale node, if there
was concurrent activity on the file which transformed its xarray.
I tried inserting xas_pause()s, but then even bootup crashed on that
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(): there appears to be a subtle "nextness" implicit in
xas_pause().
xas_next() and xas_pause() are good for use in simple loops, but not in
this one: xas_set() worked well until now, so use xas_set(&xas, index)
explicitly at the head of the loop; and change that VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() not
to need its own xas_set(), and not to interfere with the xa_state (which
would probably stop the crashes from xas_pause(), but I trust that less).
The user-visible effects of this bug (if VM_BUG_ONs are configured out)
would be data loss and data leak - potentially - though in practice I
expect it is more likely that a subsequent check (e.g. on mapping or on
nr_none) would notice an inconsistency, and just abandon the collapse.

Convert all instances of direct pte_t* dereferencing to instead use
ptep_get() helper. This means that by default, the accesses change from a
C dereference to a READ_ONCE(). This is technically the correct thing to
do since where pgtables are modified by HW (for access/dirty) they are
volatile and therefore we should always ensure READ_ONCE() semantics.
But more importantly, by always using the helper, it can be overridden by
the architecture to fully encapsulate the contents of the pte. Arch code
is deliberately not converted, as the arch code knows best. It is
intended that arch code (arm64) will override the default with its own
implementation that can (e.g.) hide certain bits from the core code, or
determine young/dirty status by mixing in state from another source.
Conversion was done using Coccinelle:
----
// $ make coccicheck \
// COCCI=ptepget.cocci \
// SPFLAGS="--include-headers" \
// MODE=patch
virtual patch
@ depends on patch @
pte_t *v;
@@
- *v
+ ptep_get(v)
----
Then reviewed and hand-edited to avoid multiple unnecessary calls to
ptep_get(), instead opting to store the result of a single call in a
variable, where it is correct to do so. This aims to negate any cost of
READ_ONCE() and will benefit arch-overrides that may be more complex.
Included is a fix for an issue in an earlier version of this patch that
was pointed out by kernel test robot. The issue arose because config
MMU=n elides definition of the ptep helper functions, including
ptep_get(). HUGETLB_PAGE=n configs still define a simple
huge_ptep_clear_flush() for linking purposes, which dereferences the ptep.
So when both configs are disabled, this caused a build error because
ptep_get() is not defined. Fix by continuing to do a direct dereference
when MMU=n. This is safe because for this config the arch code cannot be
trying to virtualize the ptes because none of the ptep helpers are
defined.

Delete pmd_trans_unstable, pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() and
pmd_devmap_trans_unstable(), all now unused.
With mixed feelings, delete all the comments on pmd_trans_unstable().
That was very good documentation of a subtle state, and this series does
not even eliminate that state: but rather, normalizes and extends it,
asking pte_offset_map[_lock]() callers to anticipate failure, without
regard for whether mmap_read_lock() or mmap_write_lock() is held.
Retain pud_trans_unstable(), which has one use in __handle_mm_fault(), but
delete its equivalent pud_none_or_trans_huge_or_dev_or_clear_bad(). While
there, move the default arch_needs_pgtable_deposit() definition up near
where pgtable_trans_huge_deposit() and withdraw() are declared.

handle_pte_fault() use pte_offset_map_nolock() to get the vmf.ptl which
corresponds to vmf.pte, instead of pte_lockptr() being used later, when
there's a chance that the pmd entry might have changed, perhaps to none,
or to a huge pmd, with no split ptlock in its struct page.
Remove its pmd_devmap_trans_unstable() call: pte_offset_map_nolock() will
handle that case by failing. Update the "morph" comment above, looking
forward to when shmem or file collapse to THP may not take mmap_lock for
write (or not at all).
do_numa_page() use the vmf->ptl from handle_pte_fault() at first, but
refresh it when refreshing vmf->pte.
do_swap_page()'s pte_unmap_same() (the thing that takes ptl to verify a
two-part PAE orig_pte) use the vmf->ptl from handle_pte_fault() too; but
do_swap_page() is also used by anon THP's __collapse_huge_page_swapin(),
so adjust that to set vmf->ptl by pte_offset_map_nolock().

__collapse_huge_page_swapin(): don't drop the map after every pte, it only
has to be dropped by do_swap_page(); give up if pte_offset_map() fails;
trace_mm_collapse_huge_page_swapin() at the end, with result; fix comment
on returned result; fix vmf.pgoff, though it's not used.
collapse_huge_page(): use pte_offset_map_lock() on the _pmd returned from
clearing; allow failure, but it should be impossible there.
hpage_collapse_scan_pmd() and collapse_pte_mapped_thp() allow for
pte_offset_map_lock() failure.

Patch series "mm: allow pte_offset_map[_lock]() to fail", v2.
What is it all about? Some mmap_lock avoidance i.e. latency reduction.
Initially just for the case of collapsing shmem or file pages to THPs; but
likely to be relied upon later in other contexts e.g. freeing of empty
page tables (but that's not work I'm doing). mmap_write_lock avoidance
when collapsing to anon THPs? Perhaps, but again that's not work I've
done: a quick attempt was not as easy as the shmem/file case.
I would much prefer not to have to make these small but wide-ranging
changes for such a niche case; but failed to find another way, and have
heard that shmem MADV_COLLAPSE's usefulness is being limited by that
mmap_write_lock it currently requires.
These changes (though of course not these exact patches) have been in
Google's data centre kernel for three years now: we do rely upon them.
What is this preparatory series about?
The current mmap locking will not be enough to guard against that tricky
transition between pmd entry pointing to page table, and empty pmd entry,
and pmd entry pointing to huge page: pte_offset_map() will have to
validate the pmd entry for itself, returning NULL if no page table is
there. What to do about that varies: sometimes nearby error handling
indicates just to skip it; but in many cases an ACTION_AGAIN or "goto
again" is appropriate (and if that risks an infinite loop, then there must
have been an oops, or pfn 0 mistaken for page table, before).
Given the likely extension to freeing empty page tables, I have not
limited this set of changes to a THP config; and it has been easier, and
sets a better example, if each site is given appropriate handling: even
where deeper study might prove that failure could only happen if the pmd
table were corrupted.
Several of the patches are, or include, cleanup on the way; and by the
end, pmd_trans_unstable() and suchlike are deleted: pte_offset_map() and
pte_offset_map_lock() then handle those original races and more. Most
uses of pte_lockptr() are deprecated, with pte_offset_map_nolock() taking
its place.
This patch (of 32):
Use pmdp_get_lockless() in preference to READ_ONCE(*pmdp), to get a more
reliable result with PAE (or READ_ONCE as before without PAE); and remove
the unnecessary extra barrier()s which got left behind in its callers.
HOWEVER: Note the small print in linux/pgtable.h, where it was designed
specifically for fast GUP, and depends on interrupts being disabled for
its full guarantee: most callers which have been added (here and before)
do NOT have interrupts disabled, so there is still some need for caution.
