2018-01-31mm: relax deferred struct page requirementsPavel Tatashin
There is no need to have ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT, as all the page initialization code is in common code. Also, there is no need to depend on MEMORY_HOTPLUG, as initialization code does not really use hotplug memory functionality. So, we can remove this requirement as well. This patch allows to use deferred struct page initialization on all platforms with memblock allocator. Tested on x86, arm64, and sparc. Also, verified that code compiles on PPC with CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG disabled.

2017-09-08mm/ZONE_DEVICE: new type of ZONE_DEVICE for unaddressable memoryJérôme Glisse
HMM (heterogeneous memory management) need struct page to support migration from system main memory to device memory. Reasons for HMM and migration to device memory is explained with HMM core patch. This patch deals with device memory that is un-addressable memory (ie CPU can not access it). Hence we do not want those struct page to be manage like regular memory. That is why we extend ZONE_DEVICE to support different types of memory. A persistent memory type is define for existing user of ZONE_DEVICE and a new device un-addressable type is added for the un-addressable memory type. There is a clear separation between what is expected from each memory type and existing user of ZONE_DEVICE are un-affected by new requirement and new use of the un-addressable type. All specific code path are protect with test against the memory type. Because memory is un-addressable we use a new special swap type for when a page is migrated to device memory (this reduces the number of maximum swap file). The main two additions beside memory type to ZONE_DEVICE is two callbacks. First one, page_free() is call whenever page refcount reach 1 (which means the page is free as ZONE_DEVICE page never reach a refcount of 0). This allow device driver to manage its memory and associated struct page. The second callback page_fault() happens when there is a CPU access to an address that is back by a device page (which are un-addressable by the CPU). This callback is responsible to migrate the page back to system main memory. Device driver can not block migration back to system memory, HMM make sure that such page can not be pin into device memory. If device is in some error condition and can not migrate memory back then a CPU page fault to device memory should end with SIGBUS.

2017-09-08mm/hmm/mirror: mirror process address space on device with HMM helpersJérôme Glisse
This is a heterogeneous memory management (HMM) process address space mirroring. In a nutshell this provide an API to mirror process address space on a device. This boils down to keeping CPU and device page table synchronize (we assume that both device and CPU are cache coherent like PCIe device can be). This patch provide a simple API for device driver to achieve address space mirroring thus avoiding each device driver to grow its own CPU page table walker and its own CPU page table synchronization mechanism. This is useful for NVidia GPU >= Pascal, Mellanox IB >= mlx5 and more hardware in the future.

2017-09-06mm, devm_memremap_pages: use multi-order radix for ZONE_DEVICE lookupsDan Williams
devm_memremap_pages() records mapped ranges in pgmap_radix with an entry per section's worth of memory (128MB). The key for each of those entries is a section number. This leads to false positives when devm_memremap_pages() is passed a section-unaligned range as lookups in the misalignment fail to return NULL. We can close this hole by using the pfn as the key for entries in the tree. The number of entries required to describe a remapped range is reduced by leveraging multi-order entries. In practice this approach usually yields just one entry in the tree if the size and starting address are of the same power-of-2 alignment. Previously we always needed nr_entries = mapping_size / 128MB.

Commit 20b2f52b73fe ("numa: add CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE for movable-dedicated node") has introduced CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE without a good explanation on why it is actually useful. It makes a lot of sense to make movable node semantic opt in but we already have that because the feature has to be explicitly enabled on the kernel command line. A config option on top only makes the configuration space larger without a good reason. It also adds an additional ifdefery that pollutes the code. Just drop the config option and make it de-facto always enabled. This shouldn't introduce any change to the semantic.

2017-07-06mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap outHuang Ying
Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11. This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page (THP) swap. Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

Per the suggestion from Michal Hocko [1], DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT requires some ordering wrt other initialization operations, e.g. page_ext_init has to happen after the whole memmap is initialized properly. For SPARSEMEM this requires to wait for page_alloc_init_late. Other memory models (e.g. flatmem) might have different initialization layouts (page_ext_init_flatmem). Currently DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG which in turn depends on SPARSEMEM || X86_64_ACPI_NUMA depends on ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG and X86_64_ACPI_NUMA depends on NUMA which in turn disable FLATMEM memory model: config ARCH_FLATMEM_ENABLE def_bool y depends on X86_32 && !NUMA so FLATMEM is ruled out via dependency maze.

2016-05-20z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pagesVitaly Wool
This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

2016-05-19memory_hotplug: introduce CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINEVitaly Kuznetsov
This patchset continues the work I started with commit 31bc3858ea3e ("memory-hotplug: add automatic onlining policy for the newly added memory"). Initially I was going to stop there and bring the policy setting logic to userspace. I met two issues on this way: 1) It is possible to have memory hotplugged at boot (e.g. with QEMU). These blocks stay offlined if we turn the onlining policy on by userspace. 2) My attempt to bring this policy setting to systemd failed, systemd maintainers suggest to change the default in kernel or ... to use tmpfiles.d to alter the policy (which looks like a hack to me): https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/2938 Here I suggest to add a config option to set the default value for the policy and a kernel command line parameter to make the override. This patch (of 2): Introduce config option to set the default value for memory hotplug onlining policy (/sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks). The reason one would want to turn this option on are to have early onlining for hotpluggable memory available at boot and to not require any userspace actions to make memory hotplug work.

2016-03-20Merge branch 'mm-pkeys-for-linus' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar: "This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys). There's a background article at LWN.net: https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/ The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of user-controllable permission masks in the pte. So instead of having a fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of) protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected virtual memory range. This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions. It also allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that below). This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys - if a user-space application calls: mmap(..., PROT_EXEC); or mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC); (note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice this special case, and will set a special protection key on this memory range. It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable and unwritable. So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true' PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies PROT_READ as well. Unreadable executable mappings have security advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either. We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion. There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this pull request. Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature (CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled (like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment. If there's any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or flip the default" * 'mm-pkeys-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (38 commits) x86/mm/pkeys: Fix mismerge of protection keys CPUID bits mm/pkeys: Fix siginfo ABI breakage caused by new u64 field x86/mm/pkeys: Fix access_error() denial of writes to write-only VMA mm/core, x86/mm/pkeys: Add execute-only protection keys support x86/mm/pkeys: Create an x86 arch_calc_vm_prot_bits() for VMA flags x86/mm/pkeys: Allow kernel to modify user pkey rights register x86/fpu: Allow setting of XSAVE state x86/mm: Factor out LDT init from context init mm/core, x86/mm/pkeys: Add arch_validate_pkey() mm/core, arch, powerpc: Pass a protection key in to calc_vm_flag_bits() x86/mm/pkeys: Actually enable Memory Protection Keys in the CPU x86/mm/pkeys: Add Kconfig prompt to existing config option x86/mm/pkeys: Dump pkey from VMA in /proc/pid/smaps x86/mm/pkeys: Dump PKRU with other kernel registers mm/core, x86/mm/pkeys: Differentiate instruction fetches x86/mm/pkeys: Optimize fault handling in access_error() mm/core: Do not enforce PKEY permissions on remote mm access um, pkeys: Add UML arch_*_access_permitted() methods mm/gup, x86/mm/pkeys: Check VMAs and PTEs for protection keys x86/mm/gup: Simplify get_user_pages() PTE bit handling ...

2016-03-17mm: exclude ZONE_DEVICE from GFP_ZONE_TABLEDan Williams
ZONE_DEVICE (merged in 4.3) and ZONE_CMA (proposed) are examples of new mm zones that are bumping up against the current maximum limit of 4 zones, i.e. 2 bits in page->flags for the GFP_ZONE_TABLE. The GFP_ZONE_TABLE poses an interesting constraint since include/linux/gfp.h gets included by the 32-bit portion of a 64-bit build. We need to be careful to only build the table for zones that have a corresponding gfp_t flag. GFP_ZONES_SHIFT is introduced for this purpose. This patch does not attempt to solve the problem of adding a new zone that also has a corresponding GFP_ flag. Vlastimil points out that ZONE_DEVICE, by depending on x86_64 and SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP implies that SECTIONS_WIDTH is zero. In other words even though ZONE_DEVICE does not fit in GFP_ZONE_TABLE it is free to consume another bit in page->flags (expand ZONES_WIDTH) with room to spare.

2016-02-18mm/core, x86/mm/pkeys: Store protection bits in high VMA flagsDave Hansen
vma->vm_flags is an 'unsigned long', so has space for 32 flags on 32-bit architectures. The high 32 bits are unused on 64-bit platforms. We've steered away from using the unused high VMA bits for things because we would have difficulty supporting it on 32-bit. Protection Keys are not available in 32-bit mode, so there is no concern about supporting this feature in 32-bit mode or on 32-bit CPUs. This patch carves out 4 bits from the high half of vma->vm_flags and allows architectures to set config option to make them available. Sparse complains about these constants unless we explicitly call them "UL".

2015-11-06mm: make compound_head() robustKirill A. Shutemov
Hugh has pointed that compound_head() call can be unsafe in some context. There's one example: CPU0 CPU1 isolate_migratepages_block() page_count() compound_head() !!PageTail() == true put_page() tail->first_page = NULL head = tail->first_page alloc_pages(__GFP_COMP) prep_compound_page() tail->first_page = head __SetPageTail(p); !!PageTail() == true <head == NULL dereferencing> The race is pure theoretical. I don't it's possible to trigger it in practice. But who knows. We can fix the race by changing how encode PageTail() and compound_head() within struct page to be able to update them in one shot. The patch introduces page->compound_head into third double word block in front of compound_dtor and compound_order. Bit 0 encodes PageTail() and the rest bits are pointer to head page if bit zero is set. The patch moves page->pmd_huge_pte out of word, just in case if an architecture defines pgtable_t into something what can have the bit 0 set. hugetlb_cgroup uses page->lru.next in the second tail page to store pointer struct hugetlb_cgroup. The patch switch it to use page->private in the second tail page instead. The space is free since ->first_page is removed from the union. The patch also opens possibility to remove HUGETLB_CGROUP_MIN_ORDER limitation, since there's now space in first tail page to store struct hugetlb_cgroup pointer. But that's out of scope of the patch. That means page->compound_head shares storage space with: - page->lru.next; - page->next; - page->rcu_head.next; That's too long list to be absolutely sure, but looks like nobody uses bit 0 of the word. page->rcu_head.next guaranteed[1] to have bit 0 clean as long as we use call_rcu(), call_rcu_bh(), call_rcu_sched(), or call_srcu(). But future call_rcu_lazy() is not allowed as it makes use of the bit and we can get false positive PageTail().

2015-09-10mm: introduce idle page trackingVladimir Davydov
Knowing the portion of memory that is not used by a certain application or memory cgroup (idle memory) can be useful for partitioning the system efficiently, e.g. by setting memory cgroup limits appropriately. Currently, the only means to estimate the amount of idle memory provided by the kernel is /proc/PID/{clear_refs,smaps}: the user can clear the access bit for all pages mapped to a particular process by writing 1 to clear_refs, wait for some time, and then count smaps:Referenced. However, this method has two serious shortcomings: - it does not count unmapped file pages - it affects the reclaimer logic To overcome these drawbacks, this patch introduces two new page flags, Idle and Young, and a new sysfs file, /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap. A page's Idle flag can only be set from userspace by setting bit in /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap at the offset corresponding to the page, and it is cleared whenever the page is accessed either through page tables (it is cleared in page_referenced() in this case) or using the read(2) system call (mark_page_accessed()). Thus by setting the Idle flag for pages of a particular workload, which can be found e.g. by reading /proc/PID/pagemap, waiting for some time to let the workload access its working set, and then reading the bitmap file, one can estimate the amount of pages that are not used by the workload. The Young page flag is used to avoid interference with the memory reclaimer. A page's Young flag is set whenever the Access bit of a page table entry pointing to the page is cleared by writing to the bitmap file. If page_referenced() is called on a Young page, it will add 1 to its return value, therefore concealing the fact that the Access bit was cleared. Note, since there is no room for extra page flags on 32 bit, this feature uses extended page flags when compiled on 32 bit.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has appeared in a linux-next release. The changes outside of the typical drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages(). Summary: - Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the kernel's direct map. This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page() operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in 'struct block_device_operations'). For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes from "System RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device memory will arrive in a later kernel. - Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3. Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4. - Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping. - Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as cacheable to improve performance. - Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal 'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor fixes" * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (34 commits) libnvdimm, pmem: direct map legacy pmem by default libnvdimm, pmem: 'struct page' for pmem libnvdimm, pfn: 'struct page' provider infrastructure x86, pmem: clarify that ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API implies PMEM mapped WB add devm_memremap_pages mm: ZONE_DEVICE for "device memory" mm: move __phys_to_pfn and __pfn_to_phys to asm/generic/memory_model.h dax: drop size parameter to ->direct_access() nd_blk: change aperture mapping from WC to WB nvdimm: change to use generic kvfree() pmem, dax: have direct_access use __pmem annotation dax: update I/O path to do proper PMEM flushing pmem: add copy_from_iter_pmem() and clear_pmem() pmem, x86: clean up conditional pmem includes pmem: remove layer when calling arch_has_wmb_pmem() pmem, x86: move x86 PMEM API to new pmem.h header libnvdimm, e820: make CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY a tristate option pmem: switch to devm_ allocations devres: add devm_memremap libnvdimm, btt: write and validate parent_uuid ...
2015-08-27mm: ZONE_DEVICE for "device memory"Dan Williams
While pmem is usable as a block device or via DAX mappings to userspace there are several usage scenarios that can not target pmem due to its lack of struct page coverage. In preparation for "hot plugging" pmem into the vmemmap add ZONE_DEVICE as a new zone to tag these pages separately from the ones that are subject to standard page allocations. Importantly "device memory" can be removed at will by userspace unbinding the driver of the device. Having a separate zone prevents allocation and otherwise marks these pages that are distinct from typical uniform memory. Device memory has different lifetime and performance characteristics than RAM. However, since we have run out of ZONES_SHIFT bits this functionality currently depends on sacrificing ZONE_DMA. Cc: H.
