Let's reuse our new MM ownership tracking infrastructure for large folios
to make folio_likely_mapped_shared() never return false negatives -- never
indicating "not mapped shared" although the folio *is* mapped shared.
With that, we can rename it to folio_maybe_mapped_shared() and get rid of
the dependency on the mapcount of the first folio page.
The semantics are now arguably clearer: no mixture of "false negatives"
and "false positives", only the remaining possibility for "false
positives".
Thoroughly document the new semantics. We might now detect that a large
folio is "maybe mapped shared" although it *no longer* is -- but once was.
Now, if more than two MMs mapped a folio at the same time, and the MM
mapping the folio exclusively at the end is not one tracked in the two
folio MM slots, we will detect the folio as "maybe mapped shared".
For anonymous folios, usually (except weird corner cases) all PTEs that
target a "maybe mapped shared" folio are R/O. As soon as a child process
would write to them (iow, actively use them), we would CoW and effectively
replace these PTEs. Most cases (below) are not expected to really matter
with large anonymous folios for this reason.
Most importantly, there will be no change at all for:
* small folios
* hugetlb folios
* PMD-mapped PMD-sized THPs (single mapping)
This change has the potential to affect existing callers of
folio_likely_mapped_shared() -> folio_maybe_mapped_shared():
(1) fs/proc/task_mmu.c: no change (hugetlb)
(2) khugepaged counts PTEs that target shared folios towards
max_ptes_shared (default: HPAGE_PMD_NR / 2), meaning we could skip a
collapse where we would have previously collapsed. This only applies
to anonymous folios and is not expected to matter in practice.
Worth noting that this change sorts out case (A) documented in
commit 1bafe96e89f0 ("mm/khugepaged: replace page_mapcount() check by
folio_likely_mapped_shared()") by removing the possibility for "false
negatives".
(3) MADV_COLD / MADV_PAGEOUT / MADV_FREE will not try splitting
PTE-mapped THPs that are considered shared but not fully covered by
the requested range, consequently not processing them.
PMD-mapped PMD-sized THP are not affected, or when all PTEs are
covered. These functions are usually only called on anon/file folios
that are exclusively mapped most of the time (no other file mappings
or no fork()), so the "false negatives" are not expected to matter in
practice.
(4) mbind() / migrate_pages() / move_pages() will refuse to migrate
shared folios unless MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is effective (requires
CAP_SYS_NICE). We will now reject some folios that could be migrated.
Similar to (3), especially with MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL, so this is not
expected to matter in practice.
Note that cpuset_migrate_mm_workfn() calls do_migrate_pages() with
MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL.
(5) NUMA hinting
mm/migrate.c:migrate_misplaced_folio_prepare() will skip file
folios that are probably shared libraries (-> "mapped shared" and
executable). This check would have detected it as a shared library at
some point (at least 3 MMs mapping it), so detecting it afterwards
does not sound wrong (still a shared library). Not expected to
matter.
mm/memory.c:numa_migrate_check() will indicate TNF_SHARED in
MAP_SHARED file mappings when encountering a shared folio. Similar
reasoning, not expected to matter.
mm/mprotect.c:change_pte_range() will skip folios detected as
shared in CoW mappings. Similarly, this is not expected to matter in
practice, but if it would ever be a problem we could relax that check
a bit (e.g., basing it on the average page-mapcount in a folio),
because it was only an optimization when many (e.g., 288) processes
were mapping the same folios -- see commit 859d4adc3415 ("mm: numa: do
not trap faults on shared data section pages.")
(6) mm/rmap.c:folio_referenced_one() will skip exclusive swapbacked
folios in dying processes. Applies to anonymous folios only. Without
"false negatives", we'll now skip all actually shared ones. Skipping
ones that are actually exclusive won't really matter, it's a pure
optimization, and is not expected to matter in practice.
In theory, one can detect the problematic scenario: folio_mapcount() > 0
and no folio MM slot is occupied ("state unknown"). One could reset the
MM slots while doing an rmap walk, which migration / folio split already
do when setting everything up. Further, when batching PTEs we might
naturally learn about a owner (e.g., folio_mapcount() == nr_ptes) and
could update the owner. However, we'll defer that until the scenarios
where it would really matter are clear.

This indicates that the pgoff is unaligned. After analysis, I confirm the
vma is mapped to /dev/zero. Such a vma certainly has vm_file, but it is
set to anonymous by mmap_zero(). So even if it's mmapped by 2m-unaligned,
it can pass the check in thp_vma_allowable_order() as it is an
anonymous-mmap, but then be collapsed as a file-mmap.
It seems the problem has existed for a long time, but actually, since we
have khugepaged_max_ptes_none check before, we will skip collapse it as it
is /dev/zero and so has no present page. But commit d8ea7cc8547c limit
the check for only khugepaged, so the BUG_ON() can be triggered by
madvise_collapse().
Add vma_is_anonymous() check to make such vma be processed by
hpage_collapse_scan_pmd().

Patch series "synchronously scan and reclaim empty user PTE pages", v4.
Previously, we tried to use a completely asynchronous method to reclaim
empty user PTE pages [1]. After discussing with David Hildenbrand, we
decided to implement synchronous reclaimation in the case of
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) as the first step.
So this series aims to synchronously free the empty PTE pages in
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) case. We will detect and free empty PTE pages in
zap_pte_range(), and will add zap_details.reclaim_pt to exclude cases
other than madvise(MADV_DONTNEED).
In zap_pte_range(), mmu_gather is used to perform batch tlb flushing and
page freeing operations. Therefore, if we want to free the empty PTE page
in this path, the most natural way is to add it to mmu_gather as well.
Now, if CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE is selected, mmu_gather will free
page table pages by semi RCU:
- batch table freeing: asynchronous free by RCU
- single table freeing: IPI + synchronous free
But this is not enough to free the empty PTE page table pages in paths
other that munmap and exit_mmap path, because IPI cannot be synchronized
with rcu_read_lock() in pte_offset_map{_lock}(). So we should let single
table also be freed by RCU like batch table freeing.
As a first step, we supported this feature on x86_64 and selectd the newly
introduced CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_PT_RECLAIM.
For other cases such as madvise(MADV_FREE), consider scanning and freeing
empty PTE pages asynchronously in the future.
Note: issues related to TLB flushing are not new to this series and are tracked
in the separate RFC patch [3]. And more context please refer to this
thread [4].

This patch (of 11):
In retract_page_tables(), the lock of new_folio is still held, we will be
blocked in the page fault path, which prevents the pte entries from being
set again. So even though the old empty PTE page may be concurrently
freed and a new PTE page is filled into the pmd entry, it is still empty
and can be removed.
So just refactor the retract_page_tables() a little bit and recheck the
pmd state after holding the pmd lock.

Since commit 5abc1e37afa0 ("mm: list_lru: allocate list_lru_one only when
needed"), all list_lru users need to allocate the items using the new
infrastructure that provides list_lru info for slab allocation, ensuring
that the corresponding memcg list_lru is allocated before use.
For workingset shadow nodes (which are xa_node), users are converted to
use the new infrastructure by commit 9bbdc0f32409 ("xarray: use
kmem_cache_alloc_lru to allocate xa_node"). The xas->xa_lru will be set
correctly for filemap users. However, there is a missing case: xa_node
allocations caused by madvise(..., MADV_COLLAPSE).
madvise(..., MADV_COLLAPSE) will also read in the absent parts of file
map, and there will be xa_nodes allocated for the caller's memcg (assuming
it's not rootcg). However, these allocations won't trigger memcg list_lru
allocation because the proper xas info was not set.
If nothing else has allocated other xa_nodes for that memcg to trigger
list_lru creation, and memory pressure starts to evict file pages,
workingset_update_node will try to add these xa_nodes to their
corresponding memcg list_lru, and it does not exist (NULL). So they will
be added to rootcg's list_lru instead.
This shouldn't be a significant issue in practice, but it is indeed
unexpected behavior, and these xa_nodes will not be reclaimed effectively.
And may lead to incorrect counting of the list_lru->nr_items counter.
This problem wasn't exposed until recent commit 28e98022b31ef
("mm/list_lru: simplify reparenting and initial allocation") added a
sanity check: only dying memcg could have a NULL list_lru when
list_lru_{add,del} is called. This problem triggered this WARNING.
So make madvise(..., MADV_COLLAPSE) also call xas_set_lru() to pass the
list_lru which we may want to insert xa_node into later. And move
mapping_set_update to mm/internal.h, and turn into a macro to avoid
including extra headers in mm/internal.h.

In collapse_pte_mapped_thp(), we may modify the pte and pmd entry after
acquiring the ptl, so convert it to using pte_offset_map_rw_nolock(). At
this time, the pte_same() check is not performed after the PTL held. So
we should get pgt_pmd and do pmd_same() check after the ptl held.

The types of mm flags are now far beyond the core dump related features.
This patch moves mm flags from linux/sched/coredump.h to linux/mm_types.h.
The linux/sched/coredump.h has include the mm_types.h, so the C files
related to coredump does not need to change head file inclusion. In
addition, the inclusion of sched/coredump.h now can be deleted from the C
files that irrelevant to core dump.

Shmem has a separate interface (different from anonymous pages) to control
huge page allocation, that means shmem THP can be enabled while anonymous
THP is disabled. However, in this case, khugepaged will not start to
collapse shmem THP, which is unreasonable.
To fix this issue, we should call start_stop_khugepaged() to activate or
deactivate the khugepaged thread when setting shmem mTHP interfaces.
Moreover, add a new helper shmem_hpage_pmd_enabled() to help to check
whether shmem THP is enabled, which will determine if khugepaged should be
activated.

Khugepaged already supports collapsing file large folios (including shmem
mTHP) by commit 7de856ffd007 ("mm: khugepaged: support shmem mTHP
collapse"), and the control parameters in khugepaged:
'khugepaged_max_ptes_swap' and 'khugepaged_max_ptes_none', still compare
based on PTE granularity to determine whether a file collapse is needed.
However, the statistics for 'present' and 'swap' in
hpage_collapse_scan_file() do not take into account the large folios,
which may lead to incorrect judgments regarding the
khugepaged_max_ptes_swap/none parameters, resulting in unnecessary file
collapses.
To fix this issue, take into account the large folios' statistics for
'present' and 'swap' variables in the hpage_collapse_scan_file().

The "addr" and "is_shmem" arguments have different order in TP_PROTO and
TP_ARGS. This resulted in the incorrect trace result:
text-hugepage-644429 [276] 392092.878683: mm_khugepaged_collapse_file:
mm=0xffff20025d52c440, hpage_pfn=0x200678c00, index=512, addr=1, is_shmem=0,
filename=text-hugepage, nr=512, result=failed
The value of "addr" is wrong because it was treated as bool value, the
type of is_shmem.
Fix the order in TP_PROTO to keep "addr" is before "is_shmem" since the
original patch review suggested this order to achieve best packing.
And use "lx" for "addr" instead of "ld" in TP_printk because address is
typically shown in hex.
After the fix, the trace result looks correct:
text-hugepage-7291 [004] 128.627251: mm_khugepaged_collapse_file:
mm=0xffff0001328f9500, hpage_pfn=0x20016ea00, index=512, addr=0x400000,

Take the end of a file write into consideration when deciding whether or
not to use huge pages for tmpfs files when the tmpfs filesystem is mounted
with huge=within_size
This allows large writes that append to the end of a file to automatically
use large pages.
Doing 4MB sequential writes without fallocate to a 16GB tmpfs file with
fio. The numbers without THP or with huge=always stay the same, but the
performance with huge=within_size now matches that of huge=always.

This is an attempt to mitigate the issue of running out of memory when THP
is always enabled. During runtime whenever a THP is being faulted in
(__do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page) or collapsed by khugepaged
(collapse_huge_page), the THP is added to _deferred_list. Whenever memory
reclaim happens in linux, the kernel runs the deferred_split shrinker
which goes through the _deferred_list.
If the folio was partially mapped, the shrinker attempts to split it. If
the folio is not partially mapped, the shrinker checks if the THP was
underused, i.e. how many of the base 4K pages of the entire THP were
zero-filled. If this number goes above a certain threshold (decided by
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_none), the
shrinker will attempt to split that THP. Then at remap time, the pages
that were zero-filled are mapped to the shared zeropage, hence saving
memory.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan
Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code.
These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels.
- Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to
reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the
mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My
bad.
- More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to
folio_alloc_mpol()"
- Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series
"Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability
of cgroup writeback"
- Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little
faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache
index".
- In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in
vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David
Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of
the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects
here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing.
- Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling
of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is
"Restructure va_high_addr_switch".
- The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight
optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to
simplify code".
- Jane Chu has improved the handling of our
fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in
the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection".
- Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add
MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull.
- In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang
has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying.
- Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm:
zswap: trivial folio conversions".
- In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first",
Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the
swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end
objective of full support of large folio swapin/out.
- In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window
calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible
fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code.
- In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has
taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this
is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic
improvements in pagefault latency are realized.
- David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of
page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to
fs/proc/internal.h".
- David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series
"mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually".
- Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series
"cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"".
- Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry
Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers
and utilize them".
- Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has
reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly
common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark.
It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless
all CPUs are pegged.
- hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series
"mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes".
- Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that
thing.
- Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu
Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory".
This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the
efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM.
- DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae
Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit
function".
- In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()"
David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially
modernizing its use of pageframe fields.
- Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove
page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()".
- More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series
"mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for
!ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline()
pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks.
- Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and
__folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in
preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin.
- Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio"
implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large
folio userspace copying.
- The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool
and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved
with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park.
- A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does
that.
- David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the
migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault
folio isolation + checks under PTL".
- Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in
the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various
readahead quirks".
- SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and
{min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's
self testing code.
- Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache
code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported
by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable.
- Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations
and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM.
- Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of
code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code
Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put
under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg
data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1"
- Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim"
adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file.
- The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan
permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of
excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to
monitor and handle this situation.
- Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from
migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration
from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing.
- SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements"
does those things.
- In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock"
Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory
utilization.
- Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for
pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than
bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if
they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block.
- Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to
/proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series
is "query VMAs from /proc/<pid>/maps".
- In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance
Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information
related to multisize THP splitting.
- Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages
without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits
userspace to use all available huge page sizes.
- In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault
injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and
not very useful feature from slab fault injection.

Since the introduction of mTHP, the docuementation has stated that
khugepaged would be enabled when any mTHP size is enabled, and disabled
when all mTHP sizes are disabled. There are 2 problems with this; 1.
this is not what was implemented by the code and 2. this is not the
desirable behavior.
Desirable behavior is for khugepaged to be enabled when any PMD-sized THP
is enabled, anon or file. (Note that file THP is still controlled by the
top-level control so we must always consider that, as well as the PMD-size
mTHP control for anon). khugepaged only supports collapsing to PMD-sized
THP so there is no value in enabling it when PMD-sized THP is disabled.
So let's change the code and documentation to reflect this policy.
Further, per-size enabled control modification events were not previously
forwarded to khugepaged to give it an opportunity to start or stop.
Consequently the following was resulting in khugepaged eroneously not
being activated:
echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-2048kB/enabled

Patch series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and
__folio_add_anon_rmap()", v2.
This patchset is preparatory work for mTHP swapin.
folio_add_new_anon_rmap() assumes that new anon rmaps are always
exclusive. However, this assumption doesn’t hold true for cases like
do_swap_page(), where a new anon might be added to the swapcache and is
not necessarily exclusive.
The patchset extends the rmap flags to allow folio_add_new_anon_rmap() to
handle both exclusive and non-exclusive new anon folios. The
do_swap_page() function is updated to use this extended API with rmap
flags. Consequently, all new anon folios now consistently use
folio_add_new_anon_rmap(). The special case for !folio_test_anon() in
__folio_add_anon_rmap() can be safely removed.
In conclusion, new anon folios always use folio_add_new_anon_rmap(),
regardless of exclusivity. Old anon folios continue to use
__folio_add_anon_rmap() via folio_add_anon_rmap_pmd() and
folio_add_anon_rmap_ptes().
This patch (of 3):
In the case of a swap-in, a new anonymous folio is not necessarily
exclusive. This patch updates the rmap flags to allow a new anonymous
folio to be treated as either exclusive or non-exclusive. To maintain the
existing behavior, we always use EXCLUSIVE as the default setting.

if (f->f_mode & FMODE_WRITE) {
[snip]
smp_mb();
if (filemap_nr_thps(inode->i_mapping)) {
[snip]
}
}
filemap_nr_thps on kernels built without CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR
expands to 0, allowing the compiler to eliminate the entire thing, with
exception of the fence (and the branch leading there).
So happens required synchronisation between i_writecount and nr_thps
changes is already provided by the full fence coming from
get_write_access -> atomic_inc_unless_negative, thus the smp_mb instance
above can be removed regardless of CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR.
While I updated commentary in places claiming to match the now-removed
fence, I did not try to patch them to act on the compile option.
I did not bother benchmarking it, not issuing a spurious full fence in
the fast path does not warrant justification from perf standpoint.

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:

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.

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.

Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"As usual, lots of singleton and doubleton patches all over the tree
and there's little I can say which isn't in the individual changelogs.
The lengthier patch series are
- 'kdump: use generic functions to simplify crashkernel reservation
in arch', from Baoquan He. This is mainly cleanups and
consolidation of the 'crashkernel=' kernel parameter handling
- After much discussion, David Laight's 'minmax: Relax type checks in
min() and max()' is here. Hopefully reduces some typecasting and
the use of min_t() and max_t()
- A group of patches from Oleg Nesterov which clean up and slightly
fix our handling of reads from /proc/PID/task/... and which remove
task_struct.thread_group"

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.

Also remove count_memcg_page_event now that its last caller no longer uses
it and reword hpage_collapse_alloc_page() to hpage_collapse_alloc_folio().
This removes 1 call to compound_head() and helps convert khugepaged to
use folios throughout.
