Currently the PCP lists are protected by using local_lock_irqsave to
prevent migration and IRQ reentrancy but this is inconvenient. Remote
draining of the lists is impossible and a workqueue is required and every
task allocation/free must disable then enable interrupts which is
expensive.
As preparation for dealing with both of those problems, protect the
lists with a spinlock. The IRQ-unsafe version of the lock is used
because IRQs are already disabled by local_lock_irqsave. spin_trylock
is used in combination with local_lock_irqsave() but later will be
replaced with a spin_trylock_irqsave when the local_lock is removed.
The per_cpu_pages still fits within the same number of cache lines after
this patch relative to before the series.
struct per_cpu_pages {
spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */
int count; /* 4 4 */
int high; /* 8 4 */
int batch; /* 12 4 */
short int free_factor; /* 16 2 */
short int expire; /* 18 2 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
struct list_head lists[13]; /* 24 208 */
/* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 7 */
/* sum members: 228, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
/* padding: 24 */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(64)));
There is overhead in the fast path due to acquiring the spinlock even
though the spinlock is per-cpu and uncontended in the common case. Page

The per_cpu_pages is cache-aligned on a standard x86-64 distribution
configuration but a later patch will add a new field which would push the
structure into the next cache line. Use only one list to store THP-sized
pages on the per-cpu list. This assumes that the vast majority of
THP-sized allocations are GFP_MOVABLE but even if it was another type, it
would not contribute to serious fragmentation that potentially causes a
later THP allocation failure. Align per_cpu_pages on the cacheline
boundary to ensure there is no false cache sharing.
After this patch, the structure sizing is;

Patch series "Drain remote per-cpu directly", v5.
Some setups, notably NOHZ_FULL CPUs, may be running realtime or
latency-sensitive applications that cannot tolerate interference due to
per-cpu drain work queued by __drain_all_pages(). Introduce a new
mechanism to remotely drain the per-cpu lists. It is made possible by
remotely locking 'struct per_cpu_pages' new per-cpu spinlocks. This has
two advantages, the time to drain is more predictable and other unrelated
tasks are not interrupted.
This series has the same intent as Nicolas' series "mm/page_alloc: Remote
per-cpu lists drain support" -- avoid interference of a high priority task
due to a workqueue item draining per-cpu page lists. While many workloads
can tolerate a brief interruption, it may cause a real-time task running
on a NOHZ_FULL CPU to miss a deadline and at minimum, the draining is
non-deterministic.
Currently an IRQ-safe local_lock protects the page allocator per-cpu
lists. The local_lock on its own prevents migration and the IRQ disabling
protects from corruption due to an interrupt arriving while a page
allocation is in progress.
This series adjusts the locking. A spinlock is added to struct
per_cpu_pages to protect the list contents while local_lock_irq is
ultimately replaced by just the spinlock in the final patch. This allows
a remote CPU to safely. Follow-on work should allow the spin_lock_irqsave
to be converted to spin_lock to avoid IRQs being disabled/enabled in most
cases. The follow-on patch will be one kernel release later as it is
relatively high risk and it'll make bisections more clear if there are any
problems.
Patch 1 is a cosmetic patch to clarify when page->lru is storing buddy pages
and when it is storing per-cpu pages.
Patch 2 shrinks per_cpu_pages to make room for a spin lock. Strictly speaking
this is not necessary but it avoids per_cpu_pages consuming another
cache line.
Patch 3 is a preparation patch to avoid code duplication.
Patch 4 is a minor correction.
Patch 5 uses a spin_lock to protect the per_cpu_pages contents while still
relying on local_lock to prevent migration, stabilise the pcp
lookup and prevent IRQ reentrancy.
Patch 6 remote drains per-cpu pages directly instead of using a workqueue.
Patch 7 uses a normal spinlock instead of local_lock for remote draining
This patch (of 7):
The page allocator uses page->lru for storing pages on either buddy or PCP
lists. Create page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list as a union with
page->lru. This is simply to clarify what type of list a page is on in
the page allocator.
No functional change intended.

Patch series "hugetlb: speed up linear address scanning", v2.
At unmap, fork and remap time hugetlb address ranges are linearly scanned.
We can optimize these scans if the ranges are sparsely populated.
Also, enable page table "Lazy copy" for hugetlb at fork.
NOTE: Architectures not defining CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETLB need to
add an arch specific version hugetlb_mask_last_page() to take advantage of
sparse address scanning improvements. Baolin Wang added the routine for
arm64. Other architectures which could be optimized are: ia64, mips,
parisc, powerpc, s390, sh and sparc.
This patch (of 4):
HugeTLB address ranges are linearly scanned during fork, unmap and remap
operations. If a non-present entry is encountered, the code currently
continues to the next huge page aligned address. However, a non-present
entry implies that the page table page for that entry is not present.
Therefore, the linear scan can skip to the end of range mapped by the page
table page. This can speed operations on large sparsely populated hugetlb
mappings.
Create a new routine hugetlb_mask_last_page() that will return an address
mask. When the mask is ORed with an address, the result will be the
address of the last huge page mapped by the associated page table page.
Use this mask to update addresses in routines which linearly scan hugetlb
address ranges when a non-present pte is encountered.
hugetlb_mask_last_page is related to the implementation of huge_pte_offset
as hugetlb_mask_last_page is called when huge_pte_offset returns NULL.
This patch only provides a complete hugetlb_mask_last_page implementation
when CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETLB is defined. Architectures which
provide their own versions of huge_pte_offset can also provide their own
version of hugetlb_mask_last_page.

The page fault path checks THP eligibility with __transhuge_page_enabled()
which does the similar thing as hugepage_vma_check(), so use
hugepage_vma_check() instead.
However page fault allows DAX and !anon_vma cases, so added a new flag,
in_pf, to hugepage_vma_check() to make page fault work correctly.
The in_pf flag is also used to skip shmem and file THP for page fault
since shmem handles THP in its own shmem_fault() and file THP allocation
on fault is not supported yet.
Also remove hugepage_vma_enabled() since hugepage_vma_check() is the only
caller now, it is not necessary to have a helper function.

The transparent_hugepage_active() was introduced to show THP eligibility
bit in smaps in proc, smaps is the only user. But it actually does the
similar check as hugepage_vma_check() which is used by khugepaged. We
definitely don't have to maintain two similar checks, so kill
transparent_hugepage_active().
This patch also fixed the wrong behavior for VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED vmas.
Also move hugepage_vma_check() to huge_memory.c and huge_mm.h since it
is not only for khugepaged anymore.

Patch series "v14 fsdax-rmap + v11 fsdax-reflink", v2.
The patchset fsdax-rmap is aimed to support shared pages tracking for
fsdax.
It moves owner tracking from dax_assocaite_entry() to pmem device driver,
by introducing an interface ->memory_failure() for struct pagemap. This
interface is called by memory_failure() in mm, and implemented by pmem
device.
Then call holder operations to find the filesystem which the corrupted
data located in, and call filesystem handler to track files or metadata
associated with this page.
Finally we are able to try to fix the corrupted data in filesystem and do
other necessary processing, such as killing processes who are using the
files affected.
The call trace is like this:
memory_failure()
|* fsdax case
|------------
|pgmap->ops->memory_failure() => pmem_pgmap_memory_failure()
| dax_holder_notify_failure() =>
| dax_device->holder_ops->notify_failure() =>
| - xfs_dax_notify_failure()
| |* xfs_dax_notify_failure()
| |--------------------------
| | xfs_rmap_query_range()
| | xfs_dax_failure_fn()
| | * corrupted on metadata
| | try to recover data, call xfs_force_shutdown()
| | * corrupted on file data
| | try to recover data, call mf_dax_kill_procs()
|* normal case
|-------------
|mf_generic_kill_procs()
The patchset fsdax-reflink attempts to add CoW support for fsdax, and
takes XFS, which has both reflink and fsdax features, as an example.
One of the key mechanisms needed to be implemented in fsdax is CoW. Copy
the data from srcmap before we actually write data to the destination
iomap. And we just copy range in which data won't be changed.
Another mechanism is range comparison. In page cache case, readpage() is
used to load data on disk to page cache in order to be able to compare
data. In fsdax case, readpage() does not work. So, we need another
compare data with direct access support.
With the two mechanisms implemented in fsdax, we are able to make reflink
and fsdax work together in XFS.
This patch (of 14):
To easily track filesystem from a pmem device, we introduce a holder for
dax_device structure, and also its operation. This holder is used to
remember who is using this dax_device:
- When it is the backend of a filesystem, the holder will be the
instance of this filesystem.
- When this pmem device is one of the targets in a mapped device, the
holder will be this mapped device. In this case, the mapped device
has its own dax_device and it will follow the first rule. So that we
can finally track to the filesystem we needed.
The holder and holder_ops will be set when filesystem is being mounted,
or an target device is being activated.

Patch series "Add MEMORY_DEVICE_COHERENT for coherent device memory
mapping", v9.
This patch series introduces MEMORY_DEVICE_COHERENT, a type of memory
owned by a device that can be mapped into CPU page tables like
MEMORY_DEVICE_GENERIC and can also be migrated like MEMORY_DEVICE_PRIVATE.
This patch series is mostly self-contained except for a few places where
it needs to update other subsystems to handle the new memory type.
System stability and performance are not affected according to our ongoing
testing, including xfstests.
How it works: The system BIOS advertises the GPU device memory (aka VRAM)
as SPM (special purpose memory) in the UEFI system address map.
The amdgpu driver registers the memory with devmap as
MEMORY_DEVICE_COHERENT using devm_memremap_pages. The initial user for
this hardware page migration capability is the Frontier supercomputer
project. This functionality is not AMD-specific. We expect other GPU
vendors to find this functionality useful, and possibly other hardware
types in the future.
Our test nodes in the lab are similar to the Frontier configuration, with
.5 TB of system memory plus 256 GB of device memory split across 4 GPUs,
all in a single coherent address space. Page migration is expected to
improve application efficiency significantly. We will report empirical
results as they become available.
Coherent device type pages at gup are now migrated back to system memory
if they are being pinned long-term (FOLL_LONGTERM). The reason is, that
long-term pinning would interfere with the device memory manager owning
the device-coherent pages (e.g. evictions in TTM). These series
incorporate Alistair Popple patches to do this migration from
pin_user_pages() calls. hmm_gup_test has been added to hmm-test to test
different get user pages calls.
This series includes handling of device-managed anonymous pages returned
by vm_normal_pages. Although they behave like normal pages for purposes
of mapping in CPU page tables and for COW, they do not support LRU lists,
NUMA migration or THP.
We also introduced a FOLL_LRU flag that adds the same behaviour to
follow_page and related APIs, to allow callers to specify that they expect
to put pages on an LRU list.
This patch (of 14):
is_pinnable_page() and folio_is_pinnable() are renamed to
is_longterm_pinnable_page() and folio_is_longterm_pinnable() respectively.
These functions are used in the FOLL_LONGTERM flag context.

Commit e5251fd430 ("mm/hugetlb: introduce set_huge_swap_pte_at()
helper") add set_huge_swap_pte_at() to handle swap entries on
architectures that support hugepages consisting of contiguous ptes. And
currently the set_huge_swap_pte_at() is only overridden by arm64.
set_huge_swap_pte_at() provide a sz parameter to help determine the number
of entries to be updated. But in fact, all hugetlb swap entries contain
pfn information, so we can find the corresponding folio through the pfn
recorded in the swap entry, then the folio_size() is the number of entries
that need to be updated.
And considering that users will easily cause bugs by ignoring the
difference between set_huge_swap_pte_at() and set_huge_pte_at(). Let's
handle swap entries in set_huge_pte_at() and remove the
set_huge_swap_pte_at(), then we can call set_huge_pte_at() anywhere, which
simplifies our coding.

For now, the feature of hugetlb_free_vmemmap is not compatible with the
feature of memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory, and hugetlb_free_vmemmap takes
precedence over memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory. However, someone wants
to make memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory takes precedence over
hugetlb_free_vmemmap since memmap_on_memory makes it more likely to
succeed memory hotplug in close-to-OOM situations. So the decision of
making hugetlb_free_vmemmap take precedence is not wise and elegant.
The proper approach is to have hugetlb_vmemmap.c do the check whether the
section which the HugeTLB pages belong to can be optimized. If the
section's vmemmap pages are allocated from the added memory block itself,
hugetlb_free_vmemmap should refuse to optimize the vmemmap, otherwise, do
the optimization. Then both kernel parameters are compatible. So this
patch introduces VmemmapSelfHosted to mask any non-optimizable vmemmap
pages. The hugetlb_vmemmap can use this flag to detect if a vmemmap page
can be optimized.

Patch series "Convert the swap code to be more folio-based".
There's still more to do with the swap code, but this reaps a lot of the
folio benefit. More than 4kB of kernel text saved (with the UEK7 kernel
config). I don't know how much that's going to translate into CPU
savings, but some of those compound_head() calls are on every page free,
so it should be noticable. It might even be noticable just from an
I-cache consumption perspective.
This patch (of 22):
This is just a wrapper around release_pages() for now. Place the
prototype in mm.h along with folio_put() and folio_put_refs().

Similar to our MM_CP_DIRTY_ACCT handling for shared, writable mappings, we
can try mapping anonymous pages in a private writable mapping writable if
they are exclusive, the PTE is already dirty, and no special handling
applies. Mapping the anonymous page writable is essentially the same
thing the write fault handler would do in this case.
Special handling is required for uffd-wp and softdirty tracking, so take
care of that properly. Also, leave PROT_NONE handling alone for now; in
the future, we could similarly extend the logic in do_numa_page() or use
pte_mk_savedwrite() here.
While this improves mprotect(PROT_READ)+mprotect(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE)
performance, it should also be a valuable optimization for uffd-wp, when
un-protecting.
This has been previously suggested by Peter Collingbourne in [1], relevant
in the context of the Scudo memory allocator, before we had
PageAnonExclusive.
This commit doesn't add the same handling for PMDs (i.e., anonymous THP,
anonymous hugetlb); benchmark results from Andrea indicate that there are
minor performance gains, so it's might still be valuable to streamline
that logic for all anonymous pages in the future.
As we now also set MM_CP_DIRTY_ACCT for private mappings, let's rename it
to MM_CP_TRY_CHANGE_WRITABLE, to make it clearer what's actually
happening.

This commit adds a new DAMON-based operation scheme action called
'LRU_DEPRIO' for physical address space. The action deprioritizes pages
in the memory area of the target access pattern on their LRU lists. This
is hence supposed to be used for rarely accessed (cold) memory regions so
that cold pages could be more likely reclaimed first under memory
pressure. Internally, it simply calls 'lru_deactivate()'.
Using this with 'LRU_PRIO' action for hot pages, users can proactively
sort LRU lists based on the access pattern. That is, it can make the LRU
lists somewhat more trustworthy source of access temperature. As a
result, efficiency of LRU-lists based mechanisms including the reclamation
target selection could be improved.

Currently shrinkers are anonymous objects. For debugging purposes they
can be identified by count/scan function names, but it's not always
useful: e.g. for superblock's shrinkers it's nice to have at least an
idea of to which superblock the shrinker belongs.
This commit adds names to shrinkers. register_shrinker() and
prealloc_shrinker() functions are extended to take a format and arguments
to master a name.
In some cases it's not possible to determine a good name at the time when
a shrinker is allocated. For such cases shrinker_debugfs_rename() is
provided.
The expected format is:
<subsystem>-<shrinker_type>[:<instance>]-<id>
For some shrinkers an instance can be encoded as (MAJOR:MINOR) pair.
After this change the shrinker debugfs directory looks like:
$ cd /sys/kernel/debug/shrinker/
$ ls

This commit introduces the /sys/kernel/debug/shrinker debugfs interface
which provides an ability to observe the state of individual kernel memory
shrinkers.
Because the feature adds some memory overhead (which shouldn't be large
unless there is a huge amount of registered shrinkers), it's guarded by a
config option (enabled by default).
This commit introduces the "count" interface for each shrinker registered
in the system.
The output is in the following format:
<cgroup inode id> <nr of objects on node 0> <nr of objects on node 1>...
<cgroup inode id> <nr of objects on node 0> <nr of objects on node 1>...
...
To reduce the size of output on machines with many thousands cgroups, if
the total number of objects on all nodes is 0, the line is omitted.
If the shrinker is not memcg-aware or CONFIG_MEMCG is off, 0 is printed as
cgroup inode id. If the shrinker is not numa-aware, 0's are printed for
all nodes except the first one.
This commit gives debugfs entries simple numeric names, which are not very
convenient. The following commit in the series will provide shrinkers
with more meaningful names.

Patch series "mm: introduce shrinker debugfs interface", v5.
The only existing debugging mechanism is a couple of tracepoints in
do_shrink_slab(): mm_shrink_slab_start and mm_shrink_slab_end. They
aren't covering everything though: shrinkers which report 0 objects will
never show up, there is no support for memcg-aware shrinkers. Shrinkers
are identified by their scan function, which is not always enough (e.g.
hard to guess which super block's shrinker it is having only
"super_cache_scan").
To provide a better visibility and debug options for memory shrinkers this
patchset introduces a /sys/kernel/debug/shrinker interface, to some extent
similar to /sys/kernel/slab.
For each shrinker registered in the system a directory is created. As
now, the directory will contain only a "scan" file, which allows to get
the number of managed objects for each memory cgroup (for memcg-aware
shrinkers) and each numa node (for numa-aware shrinkers on a numa
machine). Other interfaces might be added in the future.
To make debugging more pleasant, the patchset also names all shrinkers, so
that debugfs entries can have meaningful names.
This patch (of 5):
Shrinker debugfs requires a way to represent memory cgroups without using
full paths, both for displaying information and getting input from a user.
Cgroup inode number is a perfect way, already used by bpf.
This commit adds a couple of helper functions which will be used to handle
memcg-aware shrinkers.

IIUC page_vma_mapped_walk() checks if the vma is possibly huge PMD mapped
with transparent_hugepage_active() and "pvmw->nr_pages >= HPAGE_PMD_NR".
Actually pvmw->nr_pages is returned by compound_nr() or folio_nr_pages(),
so the page should be THP as long as "pvmw->nr_pages >= HPAGE_PMD_NR".
And it is guaranteed THP is allocated for valid VMA in the first place.
But it may be not PMD mapped if the VMA is file VMA and it is not properly
aligned. The transhuge_vma_suitable() is used to do such check, so
replace transparent_hugepage_active() to it, which is too heavy and
overkilling.
