Unconditionally use unbound work queue, and not just if wq_power_efficient is true. Because if the system is idle, KFENCE may wait, and by being run on the unbound work queue, we permit the scheduler to make better scheduling decisions and not require pinning KFENCE to the same CPU upon waking up.

Currently most platforms define pmd_pgtable() as pmd_page() duplicating the same code all over. Instead just define a default value i.e pmd_page() for pmd_pgtable() and let platforms override when required via <asm/pgtable.h>. All the existing platform that override pmd_pgtable() have been moved into their respective <asm/pgtable.h> header in order to precede before the new generic definition. This makes it much cleaner with reduced code. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1623646133-20306-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.comSigned-off-by:

Currently, memory-hotplug code takes zone's span_writelock and pgdat's resize_lock when resizing the node/zone's spanned pages via {move_pfn_range_to_zone(),remove_pfn_range_from_zone()} and when resizing node and zone's present pages via adjust_present_page_count(). These locks are also taken during the initialization of the system at boot time, where it protects parallel struct page initialization, but they should not really be needed in memory-hotplug where all operations are a) synchronized on device level and b) serialized by the mem_hotplug_lock lock.

I. Background: Sparse Memory Mappings When we manage sparse memory mappings dynamically in user space - also sometimes involving MAP_NORESERVE - we want to dynamically populate/ discard memory inside such a sparse memory region. Example users are hypervisors (especially implementing memory ballooning or similar technologies like virtio-mem) and memory allocators. In addition, we want to fail in a nice way (instead of generating SIGBUS) if populating does not succeed because we are out of backend memory (which can happen easily with file-based mappings, especially tmpfs and hugetlbfs). While MADV_DONTNEED, MADV_REMOVE and FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE allow for reliably discarding memory for most mapping types, there is no generic approach to populate page tables and preallocate memory. Although mmap() supports MAP_POPULATE, it is not applicable to the concept of sparse memory mappings, where we want to populate/discard dynamically and avoid expensive/problematic remappings. In addition, we never actually report errors during the final populate phase - it is best-effort only. fallocate() can be used to preallocate file-based memory and fail in a safe way. However, it cannot really be used for any private mappings on anonymous files via memfd due to COW semantics. In addition, fallocate() does not actually populate page tables, so we still always get pagefaults on first access - which is sometimes undesired (i.e., real-time workloads) and requires real prefaulting of page tables, not just a preallocation of backend storage. There might be interesting use cases for sparse memory regions along with mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) which fallocate() cannot satisfy as it does not prefault page tables. II. On preallcoation/prefaulting from user space Because we don't have a proper interface, what applications (like QEMU and databases) end up doing is touching (i.e., reading+writing one byte to not overwrite existing data) all individual pages. However, that approach 1) Can result in wear on storage backing, because we end up reading/writing each page; this is especially a problem for dax/pmem. 2) Can result in mmap_sem contention when prefaulting via multiple threads. 3) Requires expensive signal handling, especially to catch SIGBUS in case of hugetlbfs/shmem/file-backed memory. For example, this is problematic in hypervisors like QEMU where SIGBUS handlers might already be used by other subsystems concurrently to e.g, handle hardware errors. "Simply" doing preallocation concurrently from other thread is not that easy. III. On MADV_WILLNEED Extending MADV_WILLNEED is not an option because 1. It would change the semantics: "Expect access in the near future." and "might be a good idea to read some pages" vs. "Definitely populate/ preallocate all memory and definitely fail on errors.". 2. Existing users (like virtio-balloon in QEMU when deflating the balloon) don't want populate/prealloc semantics. They treat this rather as a hint to give a little performance boost without too much overhead - and don't expect that a lot of memory might get consumed or a lot of time might be spent. IV. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE Let's introduce MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE, inspired by MAP_POPULATE, with the following semantics: 1. MADV_POPULATE_READ can be used to prefault page tables just like manually reading each individual page. This will not break any COW mappings. The shared zero page might get mapped and no backend storage might get preallocated -- allocation might be deferred to write-fault time. Especially shared file mappings require an explicit fallocate() upfront to actually preallocate backend memory (blocks in the file system) in case the file might have holes. 2. If MADV_POPULATE_READ succeeds, all page tables have been populated (prefaulted) readable once. 3. MADV_POPULATE_WRITE can be used to preallocate backend memory and prefault page tables just like manually writing (or reading+writing) each individual page. This will break any COW mappings -- e.g., the shared zeropage is never populated. 4. If MADV_POPULATE_WRITE succeeds, all page tables have been populated (prefaulted) writable once. 5. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE cannot be applied to special mappings marked with VM_PFNMAP and VM_IO. Also, proper access permissions (e.g., PROT_READ, PROT_WRITE) are required. If any such mapping is encountered, madvise() fails with -EINVAL. 6. If MADV_POPULATE_READ or MADV_POPULATE_WRITE fails, some page tables might have been populated. 7. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE will return -EHWPOISON when encountering a HW poisoned page in the range. 8. Similar to MAP_POPULATE, MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE cannot protect from the OOM (Out Of Memory) handler killing the process. While the use case for MADV_POPULATE_WRITE is fairly obvious (i.e., preallocate memory and prefault page tables for VMs), one issue is that whenever we prefault pages writable, the pages have to be marked dirty, because the CPU could dirty them any time. while not a real problem for hugetlbfs or dax/pmem, it can be a problem for shared file mappings: each page will be marked dirty and has to be written back later when evicting. MADV_POPULATE_READ allows for optimizing this scenario: Pre-read a whole mapping from backend storage without marking it dirty, such that eviction won't have to write it back. As discussed above, shared file mappings might require an explciit fallocate() upfront to achieve preallcoation+prepopulation. Although sparse memory mappings are the primary use case, this will also be useful for other preallocate/prefault use cases where MAP_POPULATE is not desired or the semantics of MAP_POPULATE are not sufficient: as one example, QEMU users can trigger preallocation/prefaulting of guest RAM after the mapping was created -- and don't want errors to be silently suppressed. Looking at the history, MADV_POPULATE was already proposed in 2013 [1], however, the main motivation back than was performance improvements -- which should also still be the case. V. Single-threaded performance comparison I did a short experiment, prefaulting page tables on completely *empty mappings/files* and repeated the experiment 10 times. The results correspond to the shortest execution time. In general, the performance benefit for huge pages is negligible with small mappings. V.1: Private mappings POPULATE_READ and POPULATE_WRITE is fastest. Note that Reading/POPULATE_READ will populate the shared zeropage where applicable -- which result in short population times. The fastest way to allocate backend storage (here: swap or huge pages) and prefault page tables is POPULATE_WRITE. V.2: Shared mappings fallocate() is fastest, however, doesn't prefault page tables. POPULATE_WRITE is faster than simple writes and read/writes. POPULATE_READ is faster than simple reads. Without a fd, the fastest way to allocate backend storage and prefault page tables is POPULATE_WRITE. With an fd, the fastest way is usually FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ or FALLOCATE+POPULATE_WRITE respectively; one exception are actual files: FALLOCATE+Read is slightly faster than FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ. The fastest way to allocate backend storage prefault page tables is FALLOCATE+POPULATE_WRITE -- except when dealing with actual files; then, FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ is fastest and won't directly mark all pages as dirty. v.3: Detailed results ================================================== 2 MiB MAP_PRIVATE: ************************************************** Anon 4 KiB : Read : 0.119 ms Anon 4

ZONE_[DMA|DMA32] configs have duplicate definitions on platforms that subscribe to them. Instead, just make them generic options which can be selected on applicable platforms. Also only x86/arm64 architectures could enable both ZONE_DMA and ZONE_DMA32 if EXPERT, add ARCH_HAS_ZONE_DMA_SET to make dma zone configurable and visible on the two architectures.

Using MAX_INPUT_BUF_SZ as the maximum length of the string makes fortify complain as it thinks the string might be longer than the buffer, and if it is, we will end up with a "string" that is missing a NUL terminator. It's trivial to show that 'tok' points to a NUL-terminated string which is less than MAX_INPUT_BUF_SZ in length, so we may as well just use strcpy() and avoid the warning.

TTU_SYNC prevents an unlikely race, when try_to_unmap() returns shortly before the page is accounted as unmapped. It is unlikely to coincide with hwpoisoning, but now that we have the flag, hwpoison_user_mappings() would do well to use it.

THP splitting's unmap_page() only sets TTU_SPLIT_FREEZE when PageAnon, and migration entries are only inserted when TTU_MIGRATION (unused here) or TTU_SPLIT_FREEZE is set: so it's just a waste of time for remap_page() to search for migration entries to remove when !PageAnon.

Currently try_to_unmap() return bool value by checking page_mapcount(), however this may return false positive since page_mapcount() doesn't check all subpages of compound page. The total_mapcount() could be used instead, but its cost is higher since it traverses all subpages. Actually the most callers of try_to_unmap() don't care about the return value at all. So just need check if page is still mapped by page_mapped() when necessary. And page_mapped() does bail out early when it finds mapped subpage.

ARCH_ENABLE_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCK is irrelevant unless there are more than two page table levels including PMD (also per Documentation/vm/split_page_table_lock.rst). Make this dependency explicit on remaining platforms i.e x86 and s390 where ARCH_ENABLE_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCK is subscribed.

A quick grep shows x86_64, PowerPC (book3s), ARM64 and S390 support both NUMA balancing and THP. But S390 doesn't support THP migration so NUMA balancing actually can't migrate any misplaced pages. Skip make PMD PROT_NONE for such case otherwise CPU cycles may be wasted by pointless NUMA hinting faults on S390.
