      mm: avoid unnecessary page fault retires on shared memory types · d9272525
      Peter Xu authored 
      I observed that for each of the shared file-backed page faults, we're very
likely to retry one more time for the 1st write fault upon no page.  It's
because we'll need to release the mmap lock for dirty rate limit purpose
with balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() (in fault_dirty_shared_page()).

Then after that throttling we return VM_FAULT_RETRY.

We did that probably because VM_FAULT_RETRY is the only way we can return
to the fault handler at that time telling it we've released the mmap lock.

However that's not ideal because it's very likely the fault does not need
to be retried at all since the pgtable was well installed before the
throttling, so the next continuous fault (including taking mmap read lock,
walk the pgtable, etc.) could be in most cases unnecessary.

It's not only slowing down page faults for shared file-backed, but also add
more mmap lock contention which is in most cases not needed at all.

To observe this, one could try to write to some shmem page and look at
"pgfault" value in /proc/vmstat, then we should expect 2 counts for each
shmem write simply because we retried, and vm event "pgfault" will capture
that.

To make it more efficient, add a new VM_FAULT_COMPLETED return code just to
show that we've completed the whole fault and released the lock.  It's also
a hint that we should very possibly not need another fault immediately on
this page because we've just completed it.

This patch provides a ~12% perf boost on my aarch64 test VM with a simple
program sequentially dirtying 400MB shmem file being mmap()ed and these are
the time it needs:

  Before: 650.980 ms (+-1.94%)
  After:  569.396 ms (+-1.38%)

I believe it could help more than that.

We need some special care on GUP and the s390 pgfault handler (for gmap
code before returning from pgfault), the rest changes in the page fault
handlers should be relatively straightforward.

Another thing to mention is that mm_account_fault() does take this new
fault as a generic fault to be accounted, unlike VM_FAULT_RETRY.

I explicitly didn't touch hmm_vma_fault() and break_ksm() because they do
not handle VM_FAULT_RETRY even with existing code, so I'm literally keeping
them as-is.

This problem is caused by the sort_slabs().  So let's use alphabetic order
when two values are equal in the sort_slabs().

By the way, the content of the `slabinfo -h` is not aligned because the

`-P|--partial Sort by number of partial slabs`

uses tabs instead of spaces.  So let's use spaces instead of tabs to fix
it.

      iov_iter: fix build issue due to possible type mis-match · 1c27f1fc
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Commit 6c776766 ("iov_iter: Fix iter_xarray_get_pages{,_alloc}()")
introduced a problem on some 32-bit architectures (at least arm, xtensa,
csky,sparc and mips), that have a 'size_t' that is 'unsigned int'.

The reason is that we now do

    min(nr * PAGE_SIZE - offset, maxsize);

where 'nr' and 'offset' and both 'unsigned int', and PAGE_SIZE is
'unsigned long'.  As a result, the normal C type rules means that the
first argument to 'min()' ends up being 'unsigned long'.

In contrast, 'maxsize' is of type 'size_t'.

Now, 'size_t' and 'unsigned long' are always the same physical type in
the kernel, so you'd think this doesn't matter, and from an actual
arithmetic standpoint it doesn't.

But on 32-bit architectures 'size_t' is commonly 'unsigned int', even if
it could also be 'unsigned long'.  In that situation, both are unsigned
32-bit types, but they are not the *same* type.

And as a result 'min()' will complain about the distinct types (ignore
the "pointer types" part of the error message: that's an artifact of the
way we have made 'min()' check types for being the same):

  lib/iov_iter.c: In function 'iter_xarray_get_pages':
  include/linux/minmax.h:20:35: error: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast [-Werror]
     20 |         (!!(sizeof((typeof(x) *)1 == (typeof(y) *)1)))
        |                                   ^~
  lib/iov_iter.c:1464:16: note: in expansion of macro 'min'
   1464 |         return min(nr * PAGE_SIZE - offset, maxsize);
        |                ^~~

This was not visible on 64-bit architectures (where we always define
'size_t' to be 'unsigned long').

Force these cases to use 'min_t(size_t, x, y)' to make the type explicit
and avoid the issue.

[ Nit-picky note: technically 'size_t' doesn't have to match 'unsigned
  long' arithmetically. We've certainly historically seen environments
  with 16-bit address spaces and 32-bit 'unsigned long'.

  Similarly, even in 64-bit modern environments, 'size_t' could be its
  own type distinct from 'unsigned long', even if it were arithmetically
  identical.

  So the above type commentary is only really descriptive of the kernel
  environment, not some kind of universal truth for the kinds of wild
  and crazy situations that are allowed by the C standard ]
