When userfaultfd hugetlbfs support was originally added, it followed the pattern of anon mappings and did not support any vmas marked VM_SHARED. As such, support was only added for private mappings. Remove this limitation and support shared mappings. The primary functional change required is adding pages to the page cache. More subtle changes are required for huge page reservation handling in error paths. A lengthy comment in the code describes the reservation handling.

Expand the userfaultfd_register/unregister routines to allow shared memory VMAs. Currently, there is no UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE and write-protection support for shared memory VMAs, which is reflected in ioctl methods supported by uffdio_register.

Currently userfault relies on vma_is_anonymous and vma_is_hugetlb to ensure compatibility of a VMA with userfault. Introduction of vma_is_shmem allows detection if tmpfs backed VMAs, so that they may be used with userfaultfd. Current implementation presumes usage of vma_is_shmem only by slow path routines in userfaultfd, therefore the vma_is_shmem is not made inline to leave the few remaining free bits in vm_flags.

Test userfaultfd hugetlb functionality by using the existing testing method (in userfaultfd.c). Instead of an anonymous memeory, a hugetlbfs file is mmap'ed private. In this way fallocate hole punch can be used to release pages. This is because madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) is not supported for huge pages. Use the same file, but create wrappers for allocating ranges and releasing pages. Compile userfaultfd.c with HUGETLB_TEST defined to produce an executable to test userfaultfd hugetlb functionality.

The new routine copy_huge_page_from_user() uses kmap_atomic() to map PAGE_SIZE pages. However, this prevents page faults in the subsequent call to copy_from_user(). This is OK in the case where the routine is copied with mmap_sema held. However, in another case we want to allow page faults. So, add a new argument allow_pagefault to indicate if the routine should allow page faults.

Userfaults may still happen after the userfaultfd monitor thread received a UFFD_EVENT_MADVDONTNEED until UFFDIO_UNREGISTER is run.

When the mm with uffd-ed vmas fork()-s the respective vmas notify their uffds with the event which contains a descriptor with new uffd. This new descriptor can then be used to get events from the child and populate its mm with data. Note, that there can be different uffd-s controlling different vmas within one mm, so first we should collect all those uffds (and ctx-s) in a list and then notify them all one by one but only once per fork(). The context is created at fork() time but the descriptor, file struct and anon inode object is created at event read time. So some trickery is added to the userfaultfd_ctx_read() to handle the ctx queues' locking vs file creation. Another thing worth noticing is that the task that fork()-s waits for the uffd event to get processed WITHOUT the mmap sem.

Patch series "userfaultfd tmpfs/hugetlbfs/non-cooperative", v2 These userfaultfd features are finished and are ready for larger exposure in -mm and upstream merging. 1) tmpfs non present userfault 2) hugetlbfs non present userfault 3) non cooperative userfault for fork/madvise/mremap qemu development code is already exercising 2) and container postcopy live migration needs 3). 1) is not currently used but there's a self test and we know some qemu user for various reasons uses tmpfs as backing for KVM so it'll need it too to use postcopy live migration with tmpfs memory. All review feedback from the previous submit has been handled and the fixes are included. There's no outstanding issue AFIK. Upstream code just did a s/fe/vmf/ conversion in the page faults and this has been converted as well incrementally. In addition to the previous submits, this also wakes up stuck userfaults during UFFDIO_UNREGISTER. The non cooperative testcase actually reproduced this problem by getting stuck instead of quitting clean in some rare case as it could call UFFDIO_UNREGISTER while some userfault could be still in flight. The other option would have been to keep leaving it up to userland to serialize itself and to patch the testcase instead but the wakeup during unregister I think is preferable. David also asked the UFFD_FEATURE_MISSING_HUGETLBFS and UFFD_FEATURE_MISSING_SHMEM feature flags to be added so QEMU can avoid to probe if the hugetlbfs/shmem missing support is available by calling UFFDIO_REGISTER. QEMU already checks HUGETLBFS_MAGIC with fstatfs so if UFFD_FEATURE_MISSING_HUGETLBFS is also set, it knows UFFDIO_REGISTER will succeed (or if it fails, it's for some other more concerning reason). There's no reason to worry about adding too many feature flags. There are 64 available and worst case we've to bump the API if someday we're really going to run out of them. The round-trip network latency of hugetlbfs userfaults during postcopy live migration is still of the order of dozen milliseconds on 10GBit if at 2MB hugepage granularity so it's working perfectly and it should provide for higher bandwidth or lower CPU usage (which makes it interesting to add an option in the future to support THP granularity too for anonymous memory, UFFDIO_COPY would then have to create THP if alignment/len allows for it). 1GB hugetlbfs granularity will require big changes in hugetlbfs to work so it's deferred for later. This patch (of 42): This adds proper documentation (inline) to avoid the risk of further misunderstandings about the semantics of _IOW/_IOR and it also reminds whoever will bump the UFFDIO_API in the future, to change the two ioctl to _IOW. This was found while implementing strace support for those ioctl, otherwise we could have never found it by just reviewing kernel code and testing it. _IOC_READ or _IOC_WRITE alters nothing but the ioctl number itself, so it's only worth fixing if the UFFDIO_API is bumped someday.

Higher order requests oom debugging is currently quite hard. We do have some compaction points which can tell us how the compaction is operating but there is no trace point to tell us about compaction retry logic. This patch adds a one which will have the following format bash-3126 [001] .... 1498.220001: compact_retry: order=9 priority=COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT compaction_result=withdrawn retries=0 max_retries=16 should_retry=0 we can see that the order 9 request is not retried even though we are in the highest compaction priority mode becase the last compaction attempt was withdrawn. This means that compaction_zonelist_suitable must have returned false and there is no suitable zone to compact for this request and so no need to retry further. another example would be <...>-3137 [001] .... 81.501689: compact_retry: order=9 priority=COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT compaction_result=failed retries=0 max_retries=16 should_retry=0 in this case the order-9 compaction failed to find any suitable block. We do not retry anymore because this is a costly request and those do not go below COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT priority.

This is essentially an optimistic estimate of how much memory we would have when reclaiming everything. This can be compared to min_wmark to get a rought idea but the wmark_check tells the result of the watermark check which is more precise (includes lowmem reserves, considers the order etc.). As we can see no zone is eligible in the end and that is why we have triggered the oom in this situation. Please note that higher order requests might fail on the wmark_check even when there is much more memory available than min_wmark - e.g. when the memory is fragmented. A follow up tracepoint will help to debug those situations. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161220130135.15719-3-mhocko@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: -

In __free_one_page() we do the buddy merging arithmetics on "page/buddy index", which is just the lower MAX_ORDER bits of pfn. The operations we do that affect the higher bits are bitwise AND and subtraction (in that order), where the final result will be the same with the higher bits left unmasked, as long as these bits are equal for both buddies - which must be true by the definition of a buddy. We can therefore use pfn's directly instead of "index" and skip the zeroing of >MAX_ORDER bits. This can help a bit by itself, although compiler might be smart enough already. It also helps the next patch to avoid page_to_pfn() for memory hole checks. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161216120009.20064-1-vbabka@suse.czSigned-off-by:

Tetsuo has been stressing OOM killer path with many parallel allocation requests when he has noticed that it is not all that hard to swamp kernel logs with warn_alloc messages caused by allocation stalls. Even though the allocation stall message is triggered only once in 10s there might be many different tasks hitting it roughly around the same time. A big part of the output is show_mem() which can generate a lot of output even on a small machines. There is no reason to show the state of memory counter for each allocation stall, especially when multiple of them are reported in a short time period. Chances are that not much has changed since the last report. This patch simply rate limits show_mem called from warn_alloc to only dump something once per second. This should be enough to give us a clue why an allocation might be stalling while burst of warnings will not swamp log with too much data. While we are at it, extract all the show_mem related handling (filters) into a separate function warn_alloc_show_mem. This will make the code cleaner and as a bonus point we can distinguish which part of warn_alloc got throttled due to rate limiting as ___ratelimit dumps the caller.
