The AF_XDP sockets umem mapping interface uses XDP_UMEM_PGOFF_FILL_RING and XDP_UMEM_PGOFF_COMPLETION_RING offsets. These offsets are established already and are part of the configuration interface. But for 32-bit systems, using AF_XDP socket configuration, these values are too large to pass the maximum allowed file size verification. The offsets can be tuned off, but instead of changing the existing interface, let's extend the max allowed file size for sockets. No one has been using this until this patch with 32 bits as without this fix af_xdp sockets can't be used at all, so it unblocks af_xdp socket usage for 32bit systems. All list of mmap cbs for sockets was verified for side effects and all of them contain dummy cb - sock_no_mmap() at this moment, except the following: xsk_mmap() - it's what this fix is needed for. tcp_mmap() - doesn't have obvious issues with pgoff - no any references on it. packet_mmap() - return -EINVAL if it's even set.

When addr is out of range of the whole rb_tree, pprev will point to the right-most node. rb_tree facility already provides a helper function, rb_last(), to do this task. We can leverage this instead of reimplementing it. This patch refines find_vma_prev() with rb_last() to make it a little nicer to read.

arm64 handles top-down mmap layout in a way that can be easily reused by other architectures, so make it available in mm. It then introduces a new config ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_TOPDOWN_MMAP_LAYOUT that can be set by other architectures to benefit from those functions. Note that this new config depends on MMU being enabled, if selected without MMU support, a warning will be thrown. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190730055113.23635-5-alex@ghiti.frSigned-off-by:

Patch series "Provide generic top-down mmap layout functions", v6. This series introduces generic functions to make top-down mmap layout easily accessible to architectures, in particular riscv which was the initial goal of this series. The generic implementation was taken from arm64 and used successively by arm, mips and finally riscv. Note that in addition the series fixes 2 issues: - stack randomization was taken into account even if not necessary. - [1] fixed an issue with mmap base which did not take into account randomization but did not report it to arm and mips, so by moving arm64 into a generic library, this problem is now fixed for both architectures. This work is an effort to factorize architecture functions to avoid code duplication and oversights as in [1]. [1]: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1429066.html This patch (of 14): This preparatory commit moves this function so that further introduction of generic topdown mmap layout is contained only in mm/util.c.

khugepaged needs exclusive mmap_sem to access page table. When it fails to lock mmap_sem, the page will fault in as pte-mapped THP. As the page is already a THP, khugepaged will not handle this pmd again. This patch enables the khugepaged to retry collapse the page table. struct mm_slot (in khugepaged.c) is extended with an array, containing addresses of pte-mapped THPs. We use array here for simplicity. We can easily replace it with more advanced data structures when needed. In khugepaged_scan_mm_slot(), if the mm contains pte-mapped THP, we try to collapse the page table. Since collapse may happen at an later time, some pages may already fault in. collapse_pte_mapped_thp() is added to properly handle these pages. collapse_pte_mapped_thp() also double checks whether all ptes in this pmd are mapping to the same THP. This is necessary because some subpage of the THP may be replaced, for example by uprobe. In such cases, it is not possible to collapse the pmd.

Use the newly added FOLL_SPLIT_PMD in uprobe. This preserves the huge page when the uprobe is enabled. When the uprobe is disabled, newer instances of the same application could still benefit from huge page. For the next step, we will enable khugepaged to regroup the pmd, so that existing instances of the application could also benefit from huge page after the uprobe is disabled.

Introduce a new foll_flag: FOLL_SPLIT_PMD. As the name says FOLL_SPLIT_PMD splits huge pmd for given mm_struct, the underlining huge page stays as-is. FOLL_SPLIT_PMD is useful for cases where we need to use regular pages, but would switch back to huge page and huge pmd on. One of such example is uprobe.

Currently, uprobe swaps the target page with a anonymous page in both install_breakpoint() and remove_breakpoint(). When all uprobes on a page are removed, the given mm is still using an anonymous page (not the original page). This patch allows uprobe to use original page when possible (all uprobes on the page are already removed, and the original page is in page cache and uptodate). As suggested by Oleg, we unmap the old_page and let the original page fault in. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190815164525.1848545-3-songliubraving@fb.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "THP aware uprobe", v13. This patchset makes uprobe aware of THPs. Currently, when uprobe is attached to text on THP, the page is split by FOLL_SPLIT. As a result, uprobe eliminates the performance benefit of THP. This set makes uprobe THP-aware. Instead of FOLL_SPLIT, we introduces FOLL_SPLIT_PMD, which only split PMD for uprobe. After all uprobes within the THP are removed, the PTE-mapped pages are regrouped as huge PMD. This set (plus a few THP patches) is also available at https://github.com/liu-song-6/linux/tree/uprobe-thp This patch (of 6): Move memcmp_pages() to mm/util.c and pages_identical() to mm.h, so that we can use them in other files.

When the page is immigrated to the other memcg, it will be immigrated to the target memcg's deferred split queue too. Reuse the second tail page's deferred_list for per memcg list since the same THP can't be on multiple deferred split queues.

In previous patch, an application could put part of its text section in THP via madvise(). These THPs will be protected from writes when the application is still running (TXTBSY). However, after the application exits, the file is available for writes. This patch avoids writes to file THP by dropping page cache for the file when the file is open for write. A new counter nr_thps is added to struct address_space. In do_dentry_open(), if the file is open for write and nr_thps is non-zero, we drop page cache for the whole file.

This patch is (hopefully) the first step to enable THP for non-shmem filesystems. This patch enables an application to put part of its text sections to THP via madvise, for example: madvise((void *)0x600000, 0x200000, MADV_HUGEPAGE); We tried to reuse the logic for THP on tmpfs. Currently, write is not supported for non-shmem THP. khugepaged will only process vma with VM_DENYWRITE. sys_mmap() ignores VM_DENYWRITE requests (see ksys_mmap_pgoff). The only way to create vma with VM_DENYWRITE is execve(). This requirement limits non-shmem THP to text sections. The next patch will handle writes, which would only happen when the all the vmas with VM_DENYWRITE are unmapped. An EXPERIMENTAL config, READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS, is added to gate this feature.

With THP, current check of offset: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page->index != offset, page); is no longer accurate. Update it to: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_to_pgoff(page) != offset, page); Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190801184244.3169074-4-songliubraving@fb.comSigned-off-by: -

Similar to previous patch, pagecache_get_page() avoids race condition with truncate by checking page->mapping == mapping. This does not work for compound pages. This patch let it check compound_head(page)->mapping instead. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190801184244.3169074-3-songliubraving@fb.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "Enable THP for text section of non-shmem files", v10; This patchset follows up discussion at LSF/MM 2019. The motivation is to put text section of an application in THP, and thus reduces iTLB miss rate and improves performance. Both Facebook and Oracle showed strong interests to this feature. To make reviews easier, this set aims a mininal valid product. Current version of the work does not have any changes to file system specific code. This comes with some limitations (discussed later). This set enables an application to "hugify" its text section by simply running something like: madvise(0x600000, 0x80000, MADV_HUGEPAGE); Before this call, the /proc/<pid>/maps looks like: 00400000-074d0000 r-xp 00000000 00:27 2006927 app After this call, part of the text section is split out and mapped to THP: 00400000-00425000 r-xp 00000000 00:27 2006927 app 00600000-00e00000 r-xp 00200000 00:27 2006927 app <<< on THP 00e00000-074d0000 r-xp 00a00000 00:27 2006927 app Limitations: 1. This only works for text section (vma with VM_DENYWRITE). 2. Original limitation #2 is removed in v3. We gated this feature with an experimental config, READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS. Once we get better support on the write path, we can remove the config and enable it by default. Tested cases: 1. Tested with btrfs and ext4. 2. Tested with real work application (memcache like caching service). 3. Tested with "THP aware uprobe": https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mm/list/?series=131339 This patch (of 7): Currently, filemap_fault() avoids race condition with truncate by checking page->mapping == mapping. This does not work for compound pages. This patch let it check compound_head(page)->mapping instead. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190801184244.3169074-2-songliubraving@fb.comSigned-off-by: -

When allocating hugetlbfs pool pages via /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages, the pages will be interleaved between all nodes of the system. If nodes are not equal, it is quite possible for one node to fill up before the others. When this happens, the code still attempts to allocate pages from the full node. This results in calls to direct reclaim and compaction which slow things down considerably. When allocating pool pages, note the state of the previous allocation for each node. If previous allocation failed, do not use the aggressive retry algorithm on successive attempts. The allocation will still succeed if there is memory available, but it will not try as hard to free up memory.

Mike Kravetz reports that "hugetlb allocations could stall for minutes or hours when should_compact_retry() would return true more often then it should. Specifically, this was in the case where compact_result was COMPACT_DEFERRED and COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED and no progress was being made." The problem is that the compaction_withdrawn() test in should_compact_retry() includes compaction outcomes that are only possible on low compaction priority, and results in a retry without increasing the priority. This may result in furter reclaim, and more incomplete compaction attempts. With this patch, compaction priority is raised when possible, or should_compact_retry() returns false. The COMPACT_SKIPPED result doesn't really fit together with the other outcomes in compaction_withdrawn(), as that's a result caused by insufficient order-0 pages, not due to low compaction priority. With this patch, it is moved to a new compaction_needs_reclaim() function, and for that outcome we keep the current logic of retrying if it looks like reclaim will be able to help.

After commit "mm, reclaim: make should_continue_reclaim perform dryrun detection", closer look at the function shows, that nr_reclaimed == 0 means the function will always return false. And since non-zero nr_reclaimed implies non_zero nr_scanned, testing nr_scanned serves no purpose, and so does the testing for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL. This patch thus cleans up the function to test only !nr_reclaimed upfront, and remove the __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL test and nr_scanned parameter completely. Comment is also updated, explaining that approximating "full LRU list has been scanned" with nr_scanned == 0 didn't really work.

Patch series "address hugetlb page allocation stalls", v2. Allocation of hugetlb pages via sysctl or procfs can stall for minutes or hours. A simple example on a two node system with 8GB of memory is as follows: echo 4096 > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages echo 4096 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages Obviously, both allocation attempts will fall short of their 8GB goal. However, one or both of these commands may stall and not be interruptible. The issues were initially discussed in mail thread [1] and RFC code at [2]. This series addresses the issues causing the stalls. There are two distinct fixes, a cleanup, and an optimization. The reclaim patch by Hillf and compaction patch by Vlasitmil address corner cases in their respective areas. hugetlb page allocation could stall due to either of these issues. Vlasitmil added a cleanup patch after Hillf's modifications. The hugetlb patch by Mike is an optimization suggested during the debug and development process. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/d38a095e-dc39-7e82-bb76-2c9247929f07@oracle.com [2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190724175014.9935-1-mike.kravetz@oracle.com This patch (of 4): Address the issue of should_continue_reclaim returning true too often for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL attempts when !nr_reclaimed and nr_scanned. This was observed during hugetlb page allocation causing stalls for minutes or hours. We can stop reclaiming pages if compaction reports it can make a progress. There might be side-effects for other high-order allocations that would potentially benefit from reclaiming more before compaction so that they would be faster and less likely to stall. However, the consequences of premature/over-reclaim are considered worse. We can also bail out of reclaiming pages if we know that there are not enough inactive lru pages left to satisfy the costly allocation. We can give up reclaiming pages too if we see dryrun occur, with the certainty of plenty of inactive pages. IOW with dryrun detected, we are sure we have reclaimed as many pages as we could.
