In current implementation, newly created or swap-in anonymous page is
started on active list. Growing active list results in rebalancing
active/inactive list so old pages on active list are demoted to inactive
list. Hence, the page on active list isn't protected at all.
Following is an example of this situation.
Assume that 50 hot pages on active list. Numbers denote the number of
pages on active/inactive list (active | inactive).
1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0
2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(uo) | 50(h)
3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(uo) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(h)
This patch tries to fix this issue. Like as file LRU, newly created or
swap-in anonymous pages will be inserted to the inactive list. They are
promoted to active list if enough reference happens. This simple
modification changes the above example as following.
1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0
2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo)
3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(uo)
As you can see, hot pages on active list would be protected.
Note that, this implementation has a drawback that the page cannot be
promoted and will be swapped-out if re-access interval is greater than the
size of inactive list but less than the size of total(active+inactive).
To solve this potential issue, following patch will apply workingset
detection similar to the one that's already applied to file LRU.

Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.
Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
If not .svg:
For each line:
If doesn't contain `xmlns`:
For each link, `http://[^# ]*(?:\w|/)`:
If neither `gnu\.org/license`, nor `mozilla\.org/MPL`:
If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
return 200 OK and serve the same content:
Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

After previous cleanup, extent is the minimal step for both source and
destination. This means when extent is HPAGE_PMD_SIZE or PMD_SIZE,
old_addr and new_addr are properly aligned too.
Since these two functions are only invoked in move_page_tables, it is safe
to remove the check now.

Patch series "mm/mremap: cleanup move_page_tables() a little", v5.
move_page_tables() tries to move page table by PMD or PTE.
The root reason is if it tries to move PMD, both old and new range should
be PMD aligned. But current code calculate old range and new range
separately. This leads to some redundant check and calculation.
This cleanup tries to consolidate the range check in one place to reduce
some extra range handling.
This patch (of 3):
old_end is passed to these two functions to check whether there is enough
space to do the move, while this check is done before invoking these
functions.
These two functions only would be invoked when extent meets the
requirement and there is one check before invoking these functions:
if (extent > old_end - old_addr)
extent = old_end - old_addr;
This implies (old_end - old_addr) won't fail the check in these two
functions.

Since commit 8f182270dfec ("mm/swap.c: flush lru pvecs on compound page
arrival") THP would not stay in pagevec anymore. So the optimization made
by commit d965432234db ("thp: increase split_huge_page() success rate")
doesn't make sense anymore, which tries to unpin munlocked THPs from
pagevec by draining pagevec.
Draining lru cache before isolating THP in mlock path is also unnecessary.
b676b293fb48 ("mm, thp: fix mapped pages avoiding unevictable list on
mlock") added it and 9a73f61bdb8a ("thp, mlock: do not mlock PTE-mapped
file huge pages") accidentally carried it over after the above
optimization went in.

With the page->mapping requirement gone from memcg, we can charge anon and
file-thp pages in one single step, right after they're allocated.
This removes two out of three API calls - especially the tricky commit
step that needed to happen at just the right time between when the page is
"set up" and when it's "published" - somewhat vague and fluid concepts
that varied by page type. All we need is a freshly allocated page and a
memcg context to charge.

Memcg maintains a private MEMCG_RSS counter. This divergence from the
generic VM accounting means unnecessary code overhead, and creates a
dependency for memcg that page->mapping is set up at the time of charging,
so that page types can be told apart.
Convert the generic accounting sites to mod_lruvec_page_state and friends
to maintain the per-cgroup vmstat counter of NR_ANON_MAPPED. We use
lock_page_memcg() to stabilize page->mem_cgroup during rmap changes, the
same way we do for NR_FILE_MAPPED.
With the previous patch removing MEMCG_CACHE and the private NR_SHMEM
counter, this patch finally eliminates the need to have page->mapping set
up at charge time. However, we need to have page->mem_cgroup set up by
the time rmap runs and does the accounting, so switch the commit and the
rmap callbacks around.

The memcg charging API carries a boolean @compound parameter that tells
whether the page we're dealing with is a hugepage.
mem_cgroup_commit_charge() has another boolean @lrucare that indicates
whether the page needs LRU locking or not while charging. The majority of
callsites know those parameters at compile time, which results in a lot of
naked "false, false" argument lists. This makes for cryptic code and is a
breeding ground for subtle mistakes.
Thankfully, the huge page state can be inferred from the page itself and
doesn't need to be passed along. This is safe because charging completes
before the page is published and somebody may split it.
Simplify the callsites by removing @compound, and let memcg infer the
state by using hpage_nr_pages() unconditionally. That function does
PageTransHuge() to identify huge pages, which also helpfully asserts that
nobody passes in tail pages by accident.
The following patches will introduce a new charging API, best not to carry
over unnecessary weight.

Currently we have different copy-on-write semantics for anon- and
file-THP. For anon-THP we try to allocate huge page on the write fault,
but on file-THP we split PMD and allocate 4k page.
Arguably, file-THP semantics is more desirable: we don't necessary want to
unshare full PMD range from the parent on the first access. This is the
primary reason THP is unusable for some workloads, like Redis.
The original THP refcounting didn't allow to have PTE-mapped compound
pages, so we had no options, but to allocate huge page on CoW (with
fallback to 512 4k pages).
The current refcounting doesn't have such limitations and we can cut a lot
of complex code out of fault path.
khugepaged is now able to recover THP from such ranges if the
configuration allows.

Write protect anon page faults require an accurate mapcount to decide
if to break the COW or not. This is implemented in the THP path with
reuse_swap_page() ->
page_trans_huge_map_swapcount()/page_trans_huge_mapcount().
If the COW triggers while the other processes sharing the page are
under a huge pmd split, to do an accurate reading, we must ensure the
mapcount isn't computed while it's being transferred from the head
page to the tail pages.
reuse_swap_cache() already runs serialized by the page lock, so it's
enough to add the page lock around __split_huge_pmd_locked too, in
order to add the missing serialization.
Note: the commit in "Fixes" is just to facilitate the backporting,
because the code before such commit didn't try to do an accurate THP
mapcount calculation and it instead used the page_count() to decide if
to COW or not. Both the page_count and the pin_count are THP-wide
refcounts, so they're inaccurate if used in
reuse_swap_page(). Reverting such commit (besides the unrelated fix to
the local anon_vma assignment) would have also opened the window for
memory corruption side effects to certain workloads as documented in
such commit header.

Doing a "get_user_pages()" on a copy-on-write page for reading can be
ambiguous: the page can be COW'ed at any time afterwards, and the
direction of a COW event isn't defined.
Yes, whoever writes to it will generally do the COW, but if the thread
that did the get_user_pages() unmapped the page before the write (and
that could happen due to memory pressure in addition to any outright
action), the writer could also just take over the old page instead.
End result: the get_user_pages() call might result in a page pointer
that is no longer associated with the original VM, and is associated
with - and controlled by - another VM having taken it over instead.
So when doing a get_user_pages() on a COW mapping, the only really safe
thing to do would be to break the COW when getting the page, even when
only getting it for reading.
At the same time, some users simply don't even care.
For example, the perf code wants to look up the page not because it
cares about the page, but because the code simply wants to look up the
physical address of the access for informational purposes, and doesn't
really care about races when a page might be unmapped and remapped
elsewhere.
This adds logic to force a COW event by setting FOLL_WRITE on any
copy-on-write mapping when FOLL_GET (or FOLL_PIN) is used to get a page
pointer as a result.
The current semantics end up being:
- __get_user_pages_fast(): no change. If you don't ask for a write,
you won't break COW. You'd better know what you're doing.
- get_user_pages_fast(): the fast-case "look it up in the page tables
without anything getting mmap_sem" now refuses to follow a read-only
page, since it might need COW breaking. Which happens in the slow
path - the fast path doesn't know if the memory might be COW or not.
- get_user_pages() (including the slow-path fallback for gup_fast()):
for a COW mapping, turn on FOLL_WRITE for FOLL_GET/FOLL_PIN, with
very similar semantics to FOLL_FORCE.
If it turns out that we want finer granularity (ie "only break COW when
it might actually matter" - things like the zero page are special and
don't need to be broken) we might need to push these semantics deeper
into the lookup fault path. So if people care enough, it's possible
that we might end up adding a new internal FOLL_BREAK_COW flag to go
with the internal FOLL_COW flag we already have for tracking "I had a
COW".
Alternatively, if it turns out that different callers might want to
explicitly control the forced COW break behavior, we might even want to
make such a flag visible to the users of get_user_pages() instead of
using the above default semantics.
But for now, this is mostly commentary on the issue (this commit message
being a lot bigger than the patch, and that patch in turn is almost all
comments), with that minimal "enable COW breaking early" logic using the
existing FOLL_WRITE behavior.
[ It might be worth noting that we've always had this ambiguity, and it
could arguably be seen as a user-space issue.
You only get private COW mappings that could break either way in
situations where user space is doing cooperative things (ie fork()
before an execve() etc), but it _is_ surprising and very subtle, and
fork() is supposed to give you independent address spaces.
So let's treat this as a kernel issue and make the semantics of
get_user_pages() easier to understand. Note that obviously a true
shared mapping will still get a page that can change under us, so this
does _not_ mean that get_user_pages() somehow returns any "stable"

For either swap and page migration, we all use the bit 2 of the entry to
identify whether this entry is uffd write-protected. It plays a similar
role as the existing soft dirty bit in swap entries but only for keeping
the uffd-wp tracking for a specific PTE/PMD.
Something special here is that when we want to recover the uffd-wp bit
from a swap/migration entry to the PTE bit we'll also need to take care of
the _PAGE_RW bit and make sure it's cleared, otherwise even with the
_PAGE_UFFD_WP bit we can't trap it at all.
In change_pte_range() we do nothing for uffd if the PTE is a swap entry.
That can lead to data mismatch if the page that we are going to write
protect is swapped out when sending the UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT. This patch
also applies/removes the uffd-wp bit even for the swap entries.

UFFD_EVENT_FORK support for uffd-wp should be already there, except that
we should clean the uffd-wp bit if uffd fork event is not enabled. Detect
that to avoid _PAGE_UFFD_WP being set even if the VMA is not being tracked
by VM_UFFD_WP. Do this for both small PTEs and huge PMDs.

Firstly, introduce two new flags MM_CP_UFFD_WP[_RESOLVE] for
change_protection() when used with uffd-wp and make sure the two new flags
are exclusively used. Then,
- For MM_CP_UFFD_WP: apply the _PAGE_UFFD_WP bit and remove _PAGE_RW
when a range of memory is write protected by uffd
- For MM_CP_UFFD_WP_RESOLVE: remove the _PAGE_UFFD_WP bit and recover
_PAGE_RW when write protection is resolved from userspace
And use this new interface in mwriteprotect_range() to replace the old
MM_CP_DIRTY_ACCT.
Do this change for both PTEs and huge PMDs. Then we can start to identify
which PTE/PMD is write protected by general (e.g., COW or soft dirty
tracking), and which is for userfaultfd-wp.
Since we should keep the _PAGE_UFFD_WP when doing pte_modify(), add it
into _PAGE_CHG_MASK as well. Meanwhile, since we have this new bit, we
can be even more strict when detecting uffd-wp page faults in either
do_wp_page() or wp_huge_pmd().
After we're with _PAGE_UFFD_WP, a special case is when a page is both
protected by the general COW logic and also userfault-wp. Here the
userfault-wp will have higher priority and will be handled first. Only
after the uffd-wp bit is cleared on the PTE/PMD will we continue to handle
the general COW. These are the steps on what will happen with such a
page:
1. CPU accesses write protected shared page (so both protected by
general COW and uffd-wp), blocked by uffd-wp first because in
do_wp_page we'll handle uffd-wp first, so it has higher priority
than general COW.
2. Uffd service thread receives the request, do UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT
to remove the uffd-wp bit upon the PTE/PMD. However here we
still keep the write bit cleared. Notify the blocked CPU.
3. The blocked CPU resumes the page fault process with a fault
retry, during retry it'll notice it was not with the uffd-wp bit
this time but it is still write protected by general COW, then
it'll go though the COW path in the fault handler, copy the page,
apply write bit where necessary, and retry again.
4. The CPU will be able to access this page with write bit set.

change_protection() was used by either the NUMA or mprotect() code,
there's one parameter for each of the callers (dirty_accountable and
prot_numa). Further, these parameters are passed along the calls:
- change_protection_range()
- change_p4d_range()
- change_pud_range()
- change_pmd_range()
- ...
Now we introduce a flag for change_protect() and all these helpers to
replace these parameters. Then we can avoid passing multiple parameters
multiple times along the way.
More importantly, it'll greatly simplify the work if we want to introduce
any new parameters to change_protection(). In the follow up patches, a
new parameter for userfaultfd write protection will be introduced.
No functional change at all.

Commit e496cf3d7821 ("thp: introduce CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGE_PAGECACHE")
notes that it should be reverted when the PowerPC problem was fixed. The
commit fixing the PowerPC problem (953c66c2b22a) did not revert the
commit; instead setting CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGE_PAGECACHE to the same as
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE. Checking with Kirill and Aneesh, this was an
oversight, so remove the Kconfig symbol and undo the work of commit
e496cf3d7821.

The thp_fault_fallback and thp_file_fallback vmstats are incremented if
either the hugepage allocation fails through the page allocator or the
hugepage charge fails through mem cgroup.
This patch leaves this field untouched but adds two new fields,
thp_{fault,file}_fallback_charge, which is incremented only when the mem
cgroup charge fails.
This distinguishes between attempted hugepage allocations that fail due to
fragmentation (or low memory conditions) and those that fail due to mem
cgroup limits. That can be used to determine the impact of fragmentation
on the system by excluding faults that failed due to memcg usage.

Add tracking of pages that were pinned via FOLL_PIN. This tracking is
implemented via overloading of page->_refcount: pins are added by adding
GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS (1024) to the refcount. This provides a fuzzy
indication of pinning, and it can have false positives (and that's OK).
Please see the pre-existing Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst for
details.
As mentioned in pin_user_pages.rst, callers who effectively set FOLL_PIN
(typically via pin_user_pages*()) are required to ultimately free such
pages via unpin_user_page().
Please also note the limitation, discussed in pin_user_pages.rst under the
"TODO: for 1GB and larger huge pages" section. (That limitation will be
removed in a following patch.)
The effect of a FOLL_PIN flag is similar to that of FOLL_GET, and may be
thought of as "FOLL_GET for DIO and/or RDMA use".
Pages that have been pinned via FOLL_PIN are identifiable via a new
function call:
bool page_maybe_dma_pinned(struct page *page);
What to do in response to encountering such a page, is left to later
patchsets. There is discussion about this in [1], [2], [3], and [4].
This also changes a BUG_ON(), to a WARN_ON(), in follow_page_mask().

For VM_PFNMAP and VM_MIXEDMAP vmas that want to support transhuge pages
and -page table entries, introduce vma_is_special_huge() that takes the
same codepaths as vma_is_dax().
The use of "special" follows the definition in memory.c, vm_normal_page():
"Special" mappings do not wish to be associated with a "struct page"
(either it doesn't exist, or it exists but they don't want to touch it)
For PAGE_SIZE pages, "special" is determined per page table entry to be
able to deal with COW pages. But since we don't have huge COW pages,
we can classify a vma as either "special huge" or "normal huge".

In set_pmd_migration_entry(), pmdp_invalidate() is used to change PMD
atomically. But the PMD is read before that with an ordinary memory
reading. If the THP (transparent huge page) is written between the PMD
reading and pmdp_invalidate(), the PMD dirty bit may be lost, and cause
data corruption. The race window is quite small, but still possible in
theory, so need to be fixed.
The race is fixed via using the return value of pmdp_invalidate() to get
the original content of PMD, which is a read/modify/write atomic
operation. So no THP writing can occur in between.
The race has been introduced when the THP migration support is added in
the commit 616b8371539a ("mm: thp: enable thp migration in generic path").
But this fix depends on the commit d52605d7cb30 ("mm: do not lose dirty
and accessed bits in pmdp_invalidate()"). So it's easy to be backported
after v4.16. But the race window is really small, so it may be fine not
to backport the fix at all.

If thp defrag setting "defer" is used and a newline is *not* used when
writing to the sysfs file, this is interpreted as the "defer+madvise"
option.
This is because we do prefix matching and if five characters are written
without a newline, the current code ends up comparing to the first five
bytes of the "defer+madvise" option and using that instead.
Use the more appropriate sysfs_streq() that handles the trailing newline
for us. Since this doubles as a nice cleanup, do it in enabled_store()
as well.
The current implementation relies on prefix matching: the number of
bytes compared is either the number of bytes written or the length of
the option being compared. With a newline, "defer\n" does not match
"defer+"madvise"; without a newline, however, "defer" is considered to
match "defer+madvise" (prefix matching is only comparing the first five
bytes). End result is that writing "defer" is broken unless it has an
additional trailing character.
This means that writing "madv" in the past would match and set

During split huge page, it checks the property of the page. Currently
we do the check on page and head without emphasizing the check is on the
compound page. In case the page passed to split_huge_page_to_list is a
tail page, audience would take some time to think about whether the
check is on compound page or tail page itself.
To make it explicit, use head instead of page for those checks. After
this, audience would be more clear about the checks are on compound page
and the page is used to do the split and dump error message if failed.

ARM:
- cleanups and corner case fixes.
PPC:

x86:
- Support for mapping DAX areas with large nested page table entries.
- Cleanups and bugfixes here too. A particularly important one is a
fix for FPU load when the thread has TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD. There is
also a race condition which could be used in guest userspace to
exploit the guest kernel, for which the embargo expired today.
- Fast path for IPI delivery vmexits, shaving about 200 clock cycles
from IPI latency.
- Protect against "Spectre-v1/L1TF" (bring data in the cache via
speculative out of bound accesses, use L1TF on the sibling
hyperthread to read it), which unfortunately is an even bigger
whack-a-mole game than SpectreV1.
Sean continues his mission to rewrite KVM. In addition to a sizable
number of x86 patches, this time he contributed a pretty large
refactoring of vCPU creation that affects all architectures but should
not have any visible effect.

Add a helper, is_transparent_hugepage(), to explicitly check whether a
compound page is a THP and use it when populating KVM's secondary MMU.
The explicit check fixes a bug where a remapped compound page, e.g. for
an XDP Rx socket, is mapped into a KVM guest and is mistaken for a THP,
which results in KVM incorrectly creating a huge page in its secondary
MMU.

Patch series "Fix two above-47bit hint address vs. THP bugs".
The two get_unmapped_area() implementations have to be fixed to provide
THP-friendly mappings if above-47bit hint address is specified.
This patch (of 2):
Filesystems use thp_get_unmapped_area() to provide THP-friendly
mappings. For DAX in particular.
Normally, the kernel doesn't create userspace mappings above 47-bit,
even if the machine allows this (such as with 5-level paging on x86-64).
Not all user space is ready to handle wide addresses. It's known that
at least some JIT compilers use higher bits in pointers to encode their
information.
Userspace can ask for allocation from full address space by specifying
hint address (with or without MAP_FIXED) above 47-bits. If the
application doesn't need a particular address, but wants to allocate
from whole address space it can specify -1 as a hint address.
Unfortunately, this trick breaks thp_get_unmapped_area(): the function
would not try to allocate PMD-aligned area if *any* hint address
specified.
Modify the routine to handle it correctly:
- Try to allocate the space at the specified hint address with length
padding required for PMD alignment.
- If failed, retry without length padding (but with the same hint
address);
- If the returned address matches the hint address return it.
- Otherwise, align the address as required for THP and return.
The user specified hint address is passed down to get_unmapped_area() so
above-47bit hint address will be taken into account without breaking
alignment requirements.

Merge hugepage allocation updates from David Rientjes:
"We (mostly Linus, Andrea, and myself) have been discussing offlist how
to implement a sane default allocation strategy for hugepages on NUMA
platforms.
With these reverts in place, the page allocator will happily allocate
a remote hugepage immediately rather than try to make a local hugepage
available. This incurs a substantial performance degradation when
memory compaction would have otherwise made a local hugepage
available.
This series reverts those reverts and attempts to propose a more sane
default allocation strategy specifically for hugepages. Andrea
acknowledges this is likely to fix the swap storms that he originally
reported that resulted in the patches that removed __GFP_THISNODE from
hugepage allocations.
The immediate goal is to return 5.3 to the behavior the kernel has
implemented over the past several years so that remote hugepages are
not immediately allocated when local hugepages could have been made
available because the increased access latency is untenable.
The next goal is to introduce a sane default allocation strategy for
hugepages allocations in general regardless of the configuration of
the system so that we prevent thrashing of local memory when
compaction is unlikely to succeed and can prefer remote hugepages over
remote native pages when the local node is low on memory."
Note on timing: this reverts the hugepage VM behavior changes that got
introduced fairly late in the 5.3 cycle, and that fixed a huge
performance regression for certain loads that had been around since
4.18.
Andrea had this note:
"The regression of 4.18 was that it was taking hours to start a VM
where 3.10 was only taking a few seconds, I reported all the details
on lkml when it was finally tracked down in August 2018.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20180820032640.9896-2-aarcange@redhat.com/
__GFP_THISNODE in MADV_HUGEPAGE made the above enterprise vfio
workload degrade like in the "current upstream" above. And it still
would have been that bad as above until 5.3-rc5"
where the bad behavior ends up happening as you fill up a local node,
and without that change, you'd get into the nasty swap storm behavior
due to compaction working overtime to make room for more memory on the
nodes.
As a result 5.3 got the two performance fix reverts in rc5.
However, David Rientjes then noted that those performance fixes in turn
regressed performance for other loads - although not quite to the same
degree. He suggested reverting the reverts and instead replacing them
with two small changes to how hugepage allocations are done (patch
descriptions rephrased by me):
- "avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed": just admit
that the allocation failed when you're trying to allocate a huge-page
and compaction wasn't successful.
- "allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised": when that
node-local huge-page allocation failed, retry without forcing the
local node.
but by then I judged it too late to replace the fixes for a 5.3 release.
So 5.3 was released with behavior that harked back to the pre-4.18 logic.
But now we're in the merge window for 5.4, and we can see if this
alternate model fixes not just the horrendous swap storm behavior, but
also restores the performance regression that the late reverts caused.
Fingers crossed.

Revert "Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage allocations""
|
|
alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask""
This reverts commit 92717d429b38e4f9f934eed7e605cc42858f1839.
Since commit a8282608c88e ("Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage
allocations"") is reverted in this series, it is better to restore the
previous 5.2 behavior between the thp allocation and the page allocator
rather than to attempt any consolidation or cleanup for a policy that is
now reverted. It's less risky during an rc cycle and subsequent patches
in this series further modify the same policy that the pre-5.3 behavior
implements.
Consolidation and cleanup can be done subsequent to a sane default page
allocation strategy, so this patch reverts a cleanup done on a strategy
that is now reverted and thus is the least risky option.

This reverts commit a8282608c88e08b1782141026eab61204c1e533f.
The commit references the original intended semantic for MADV_HUGEPAGE
which has subsequently taken on three unique purposes:
- enables or disables thp for a range of memory depending on the system's
config (is thp "enabled" set to "always" or "madvise"),
- determines the synchronous compaction behavior for thp allocations at
fault (is thp "defrag" set to "always", "defer+madvise", or "madvise"),
and
- reverts a previous MADV_NOHUGEPAGE (there is no madvise mode to only
clear previous hugepage advice).
These are the three purposes that currently exist in 5.2 and over the
past several years that userspace has been written around. Adding a
NUMA locality preference adds a fourth dimension to an already conflated
advice mode.
Based on the semantic that MADV_HUGEPAGE has provided over the past
several years, there exist workloads that use the tunable based on these
principles: specifically that the allocation should attempt to
defragment a local node before falling back. It is agreed that remote
hugepages typically (but not always) have a better access latency than
remote native pages, although on Naples this is at parity for
intersocket.
The revert commit that this patch reverts allows hugepage allocation to
immediately allocate remotely when local memory is fragmented. This is
contrary to the semantic of MADV_HUGEPAGE over the past several years:
that is, memory compaction should be attempted locally before falling
back.
The performance degradation of remote hugepages over local hugepages on
Rome, for example, is 53.5% increased access latency. For this reason,
the goal is to revert back to the 5.2 and previous behavior that would
attempt local defragmentation before falling back. With the patch that
is reverted by this patch, we see performance degradations at the tail
because the allocator happily allocates the remote hugepage rather than
even attempting to make a local hugepage available.
zone_reclaim_mode is not a solution to this problem since it does not
only impact hugepage allocations but rather changes the memory
allocation strategy for *all* page allocations.

Currently THP deferred split shrinker is not memcg aware, this may cause
premature OOM with some configuration. For example the below test would
run into premature OOM easily:
$ cgcreate -g memory:thp
$ echo 4G > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/thp/memory/limit_in_bytes
$ cgexec -g memory:thp transhuge-stress 4000
transhuge-stress comes from kernel selftest.
It is easy to hit OOM, but there are still a lot THP on the deferred split
queue, memcg direct reclaim can't touch them since the deferred split
shrinker is not memcg aware.
Convert deferred split shrinker memcg aware by introducing per memcg
deferred split queue. The THP should be on either per node or per memcg
deferred split queue if it belongs to a memcg. When the page is
immigrated to the other memcg, it will be immigrated to the target memcg's
deferred split queue too.
Reuse the second tail page's deferred_list for per memcg list since the
same THP can't be on multiple deferred split queues.

Make deferred split shrinker not depend on memcg kmem since it is not
slab. It doesn't make sense to not shrink THP even though memcg kmem is
disabled.
With the above change the test demonstrated above doesn't trigger OOM even
though with cgroup.memory=nokmem.
This patch (of 4):
Put split_queue, split_queue_lock and split_queue_len into a struct in
order to reduce code duplication when we convert deferred_split to memcg
aware in the later patches.

THP splitting path is missing the split_page_owner() call that
split_page() has.
As a result, split THP pages are wrongly reported in the page_owner file
as order-9 pages. Furthermore when the former head page is freed, the
remaining former tail pages are not listed in the page_owner file at
all. This patch fixes that by adding the split_page_owner() call into
__split_huge_page().

This reverts commit 2f0799a0ffc033b ("mm, thp: restore node-local
hugepage allocations").
commit 2f0799a0ffc033b was rightfully applied to avoid the risk of a
severe regression that was reported by the kernel test robot at the end
of the merge window. Now we understood the regression was a false
positive and was caused by a significant increase in fairness during a
swap trashing benchmark. So it's safe to re-apply the fix and continue
improving the code from there. The benchmark that reported the
regression is very useful, but it provides a meaningful result only when
there is no significant alteration in fairness during the workload. The
removal of __GFP_THISNODE increased fairness.
__GFP_THISNODE cannot be used in the generic page faults path for new
memory allocations under the MPOL_DEFAULT mempolicy, or the allocation
behavior significantly deviates from what the MPOL_DEFAULT semantics are
supposed to be for THP and 4k allocations alike.
Setting THP defrag to "always" or using MADV_HUGEPAGE (with THP defrag
set to "madvise") has never meant to provide an implicit MPOL_BIND on
the "current" node the task is running on, causing swap storms and
providing a much more aggressive behavior than even zone_reclaim_node =
3.
Any workload who could have benefited from __GFP_THISNODE has now to
enable zone_reclaim_mode=1||2||3. __GFP_THISNODE implicitly provided
the zone_reclaim_mode behavior, but it only did so if THP was enabled:
if THP was disabled, there would have been no chance to get any 4k page
from the current node if the current node was full of pagecache, which
further shows how this __GFP_THISNODE was misplaced in MADV_HUGEPAGE.
MADV_HUGEPAGE has never been intended to provide any zone_reclaim_mode
semantics, in fact the two are orthogonal, zone_reclaim_mode = 1|2|3
must work exactly the same with MADV_HUGEPAGE set or not.
The performance characteristic of memory depends on the hardware
details. The numbers below are obtained on Naples/EPYC architecture and
the N/A projection extends them to show what we should aim for in the
future as a good THP NUMA locality default. The benchmark used
exercises random memory seeks (note: the cost of the page faults is not
part of the measurement).
D0 THP | D0 4k | D1 THP | D1 4k | D2 THP | D2 4k | D3 THP | D3 4k | ...
0% | +43% | +45% | +106% | +131% | +224% | N/A | N/A
D0 means distance zero (i.e. local memory), D1 means distance one (i.e.
intra socket memory), D2 means distance two (i.e. inter socket memory),
etc...
For the guest physical memory allocated by qemu and for guest mode
kernel the performance characteristic of RAM is more complex and an
ideal default could be:
D0 THP | D1 THP | D0 4k | D2 THP | D1 4k | D3 THP | D2 4k | D3 4k | ...
0% | +58% | +101% | N/A | +222% | N/A | N/A | N/A
NOTE: the N/A are projections and haven't been measured yet, the
measurement in this case is done on a 1950x with only two NUMA nodes.
The THP case here means THP was used both in the host and in the guest.
After applying this commit the THP NUMA locality order that we'll get
out of MADV_HUGEPAGE is this:
D0 THP | D1 THP | D2 THP | D3 THP | ... | D0 4k | D1 4k | D2 4k | D3 4k | ...
Before this commit it was:
D0 THP | D0 4k | D1 4k | D2 4k | D3 4k | ...
Even if we ignore the breakage of large workloads that can't fit in a
single node that the __GFP_THISNODE implicit "current node" mbind
caused, the THP NUMA locality order provided by __GFP_THISNODE was still
not the one we shall aim for in the long term (i.e. the first one at
the top).
After this commit is applied, we can introduce a new allocator multi
order API and to replace those two alloc_pages_vmas calls in the page
fault path, with a single multi order call:
unsigned int order = (1 << HPAGE_PMD_ORDER) | (1 << 0);
page = alloc_pages_multi_order(..., &order);
if (!page)
goto out;
if (!(order & (1 << 0))) {
VM_WARN_ON(order != 1 << HPAGE_PMD_ORDER);
/* THP fault */
} else {
VM_WARN_ON(order != 1 << 0);
/* 4k fallback */
}
The page allocator logic has to be altered so that when it fails on any
zone with order 9, it has to try again with a order 0 before falling
back to the next zone in the zonelist.
After that we need to do more measurements and evaluate if adding an
opt-in feature for guest mode is worth it, to swap "DN 4k | DN+1 THP"
with "DN+1 THP | DN 4k" at every NUMA distance crossing.

alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask""
Patch series "reapply: relax __GFP_THISNODE for MADV_HUGEPAGE mappings".
The fixes for what was originally reported as "pathological THP
behavior" we rightfully reverted to be sure not to introduced
regressions at end of a merge window after a severe regression report
from the kernel bot. We can safely re-apply them now that we had time
to analyze the problem.
The mm process worked fine, because the good fixes were eventually
committed upstream without excessive delay.
The regression reported by the kernel bot however forced us to revert
the good fixes to be sure not to introduce regressions and to give us
the time to analyze the issue further. The silver lining is that this
extra time allowed to think more at this issue and also plan for a
future direction to improve things further in terms of THP NUMA
locality.
This patch (of 2):
This reverts commit 356ff8a9a78fb35d ("Revert "mm, thp: consolidate THP
gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask"). So it reapplies
89c83fb539f954 ("mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into
alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask").
Consolidation of the THP allocation flags at the same place was meant to
be a clean up to easier handle otherwise scattered code which is
imposing a maintenance burden. There were no real problems observed
with the gfp mask consolidation but the reversion was rushed through
without a larger consensus regardless.
This patch brings the consolidation back because this should make the
long term maintainability easier as well as it should allow future
changes to be less error prone.

Commit 7635d9cbe832 ("mm, thp, proc: report THP eligibility for each
vma") introduced THPeligible bit for processes' smaps. But, when
checking the eligibility for shmem vma, __transparent_hugepage_enabled()
is called to override the result from shmem_huge_enabled(). It may
result in the anonymous vma's THP flag override shmem's. For example,
running a simple test which create THP for shmem, but with anonymous THP
disabled, when reading the process's smaps, it may show:
7fc92ec00000-7fc92f000000 rw-s 00000000 00:14 27764 /dev/shm/test
Size: 4096 kB
...
[snip]
...
ShmemPmdMapped: 4096 kB
...
[snip]
...
THPeligible: 0
And, /proc/meminfo does show THP allocated and PMD mapped too:
ShmemHugePages: 4096 kB
ShmemPmdMapped: 4096 kB
This doesn't make too much sense. The shmem objects should be treated
separately from anonymous THP. Calling shmem_huge_enabled() with
checking MMF_DISABLE_THP sounds good enough. And, we could skip stack
and dax vma check since we already checked if the vma is shmem already.
Also check if vma is suitable for THP by calling
transhuge_vma_suitable().
And minor fix to smaps output format and documentation.
