Patch series "Some cleanups for huge_memory", v3. This series contains cleanups to rework some function logics to make it more readable, use helper function and so on. More details can be found in the respective changelogs. This patch (of 6): The current implementation of vma_adjust_trans_huge() contains some duplicated codes. Add helper function to get rid of these codes to make it more succinct.

Patch series "Some cleanups for hugetlb". This series contains cleanups to remove unnecessary VM_BUG_ON_PAGE, use helper function and so on. I also collect some previous patches into this series in case they are forgotten. This patch (of 5): We could use pages_per_huge_page to get the number of pages per hugepage, use get_hstate_idx to calculate hstate index, and use hstate_is_gigantic to check if a hstate is gigantic to make code more succinct.

vma_resv_map(vma) checks if a reserve map is associated with the vma. The routine vma_needs_reservation() will check vma_resv_map(vma) and return 1 if no reserv map is present. map_chg is set to the return value of vma_needs_reservation(). Therefore, !vma_resv_map(vma) is redundant in the expression: map_chg || avoid_reserve || !vma_resv_map(vma); Remove the redundant check.

Huge pmd sharing for hugetlbfs is racy with userfaultfd-wp because userfaultfd-wp is always based on pgtable entries, so they cannot be shared. Walk the hugetlb range and unshare all such mappings if there is, right before UFFDIO_REGISTER will succeed and return to userspace. This will pair with want_pmd_share() in hugetlb code so that huge pmd sharing is completely disabled for userfaultfd-wp registered range.

Huge pmd sharing could bring problem to userfaultfd. The thing is that userfaultfd is running its logic based on the special bits on page table entries, however the huge pmd sharing could potentially share page table entries for different address ranges. That could cause issues on either: - When sharing huge pmd page tables for an uffd write protected range, the newly mapped huge pmd range will also be write protected unexpectedly, or, - When we try to write protect a range of huge pmd shared range, we'll first do huge_pmd_unshare() in hugetlb_change_protection(), however that also means the UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT could be silently skipped for the shared region, which could lead to data loss. While at it, a few other things are done altogether: - Move want_pmd_share() from mm/hugetlb.c into linux/hugetlb.h, because that's definitely something that arch code would like to use too - ARM64 currently directly check against CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE when trying to share huge pmd. Switch to the want_pmd_share() helper. - Move vma_shareable() from huge_pmd_share() into want_pmd_share().

Patch series "hugetlb: Disable huge pmd unshare for uffd-wp", v4. This series tries to disable huge pmd unshare of hugetlbfs backed memory for uffd-wp. Although uffd-wp of hugetlbfs is still during rfc stage, the idea of this series may be needed for multiple tasks (Axel's uffd minor fault series, and Mike's soft dirty series), so I picked it out from the larger series. This patch (of 4): It is a preparation work to be able to behave differently in the per architecture huge_pte_alloc() according to different VMA attributes. Pass it deeper into huge_pmd_share() so that we can avoid the find_vma() call.

clear_inode()'s BUG_ON(!mapping_empty(&inode->i_data)) is unsafe: we know of two ways in which nodes can and do (on rare occasions) get left behind. Until those are fixed, do not BUG_ON() nor even WARN_ON(). Yes, this will then leak those nodes (or the next user of the struct inode may use them); but this has been happening for years, and the new BUG_ON(!mapping_empty) was only guilty of revealing that. A proper fix will follow, but no hurry. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LSU.2.11.2104292229380.16080@eggly.anvilsSigned-off-by:

Patch series "Remove nrexceptional tracking", v2. We actually use nrexceptional for very little these days. It's a minor pain to keep in sync with nrpages, but the pain becomes much bigger with the THP patches because we don't know how many indices a shadow entry occupies. It's easier to just remove it than keep it accurate. Also, we save 8 bytes per inode which is nothing to sneeze at; on my laptop, it would improve shmem_inode_cache from 22 to 23 objects per 16kB, and inode_cache from 26 to 27 objects. Combined, that saves a megabyte of memory from a combined usage of 25MB for both caches. Unfortunately, ext4 doesn't cross a magic boundary, so it doesn't save any memory for ext4. This patch (of 4): Instead of checking the two counters (nrpages and nrexceptional), we can just check whether i_pages is empty.

On !ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC (like ia64) debug_pagealloc=1 implies page_poison=on: if (page_poisoning_enabled() || (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC) && debug_pagealloc_enabled())) static_branch_enable(&_page_poisoning_enabled); page_poison=on needs to override init_on_free=1.

There are cases where the page_pool need to refill with pages from the page allocator. Some workloads cause the page_pool to release pages instead of recycling these pages. For these workload it can improve performance to bulk alloc pages from the page-allocator to refill the alloc cache. For XDP-redirect workload with 100G mlx5 driver (that use page_pool) redirecting xdp_frame packets into a veth, that does XDP_PASS to create an SKB from the xdp_frame, which then cannot return the page to the page_pool.

Patch series "SUNRPC consumer for the bulk page allocator" This patch set and the measurements below are based on yesterday's bulk allocator series: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux.git mm-bulk-rebase-v5r9 The patches change SUNRPC to invoke the array-based bulk allocator instead of alloc_page(). The micro-benchmark results are promising. I ran a mixture of 256KB reads and writes over NFSv3. The server's kernel is built with KASAN enabled, so the comparison is exaggerated but I believe it is still valid. I instrumented svc_recv() to measure the latency of each call to svc_alloc_arg() and report it via a trace point. The following results are averages across the trace events. Single page: 25.007 us per call over 532,571 calls Bulk list: 6.258 us per call over 517,034 calls Bulk array: 4.590 us per call over 517,442 calls This patch (of 2) Refactor: I'm about to use the loop variable @i for something else. As far as the "i++" is concerned, that is a post-increment. The value of @i is not used subsequently, so the increment operator is unnecessary and can be removed. Also note that nfsd_read_actor() was renamed nfsd_splice_actor() by commit cf8208d0 ("sendfile: convert nfsd to splice_direct_to_actor()").

Looking at perf-report and ASM-code for __alloc_pages_bulk() it is clear that the code activated is suboptimal. The compiler guesses wrong and places unlikely code at the beginning. Due to the use of WARN_ON_ONCE() macro the UD2 asm instruction is added to the code, which confuse the I-cache prefetcher in the CPU.

The proposed callers for the bulk allocator store pages from the bulk allocator in an array. This patch adds an array-based interface to the API to avoid multiple list iterations. The page list interface is preserved to avoid requiring all users of the bulk API to allocate and manage enough storage to store the pages.

This patch adds a new page allocator interface via alloc_pages_bulk, and __alloc_pages_bulk_nodemask. A caller requests a number of pages to be allocated and added to a list. The API is not guaranteed to return the requested number of pages and may fail if the preferred allocation zone has limited free memory, the cpuset changes during the allocation or page debugging decides to fail an allocation. It's up to the caller to request more pages in batch if necessary. Note that this implementation is not very efficient and could be improved but it would require refactoring. The intent is to make it available early to determine what semantics are required by different callers. Once the full semantics are nailed down, it can be refactored.

Patch series "Introduce a bulk order-0 page allocator with two in-tree users", v6. This series introduces a bulk order-0 page allocator with sunrpc and the network page pool being the first users. The implementation is not efficient as semantics needed to be ironed out first. If no other semantic changes are needed, it can be made more efficient. Despite that, this is a performance-related for users that require multiple pages for an operation without multiple round-trips to the page allocator. Quoting the last patch for the high-speed networking use-case Kernel XDP stats CPU pps Delta Baseline XDP-RX CPU total 3,771,046 n/a List XDP-RX CPU total 3,940,242 +4.49% Array XDP-RX CPU total 4,249,224 +12.68% Via the SUNRPC traces of svc_alloc_arg() Single page: 25.007 us per call over 532,571 calls Bulk list: 6.258 us per call over 517,034 calls Bulk array: 4.590 us per call over 517,442 calls Both potential users in this series are corner cases (NFS and high-speed networks) so it is unlikely that most users will see any benefit in the short term. Other potential other users are batch allocations for page cache readahead, fault around and SLUB allocations when high-order pages are unavailable. It's unknown how much benefit would be seen by converting multiple page allocation calls to a single batch or what difference it may make to headline performance. Light testing of my own running dbench over NFS passed. Chuck and Jesper conducted their own tests and details are included in the changelogs. Patch 1 renames a variable name that is particularly unpopular Patch 2 adds a bulk page allocator Patch 3 adds an array-based version of the bulk allocator Patches 4-5 adds micro-optimisations to the implementation Patches 6-7 SUNRPC user Patches 8-9 Network page_pool user This patch (of 9): Review feedback of the bulk allocator twice found problems with "alloced" being a counter for pages allocated. The naming was based on the API name "alloc" and was based on the idea that verbal communication about malloc tends to use the fake word "malloced" instead of the fake word mallocated. To be consistent, this preparation patch renames alloced to allocated in rmqueue_bulk so the bulk allocator and per-cpu allocator use similar names when the bulk allocator is introduced.

The start_pfn and end_pfn are already available in move_freepages_block(), there is no need to go back and forth between page and pfn in move_freepages and move_freepages_block, and pfn_valid_within() should validate pfn first before touching the page.

Currently, debugging CMA allocation failures is quite limited. The most common source of these failures seems to be page migration which doesn't provide any useful information on the reason of the failure by itself. alloc_contig_range can report those failures as it holds a list of migrate-failed pages. The information logged by dump_page() has already proven helpful for debugging allocation issues, like identifying long-term pinnings on ZONE_MOVABLE or MIGRATE_CMA. Let's use the dynamic debugging infrastructure, such that we avoid flooding the logs and creating a lot of noise on frequent alloc_contig_range() calls. This information is helpful for debugging only. There are two ifdefery conditions to support common dyndbg options: - CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE && DYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE It aims for supporting the feature with only specific file with adding ccflags. - CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG It aims for supporting the feature with system wide globally. A simple example to enable the feature: Admin could enable the dump like this(by default, disabled) echo "func alloc_contig_dump_pages +p" > control Admin could disable it. echo "func alloc_contig_dump_pages =_" > control Detail goes Documentation/admin-guide/dynamic-debug-howto.rst A concern is utility functions in dump_page use inconsistent loglevels. In the future, we might want to make the loglevels used inside dump_page() consistent and eventually rework the way we log the information here. See [1].
