mm: introduce a general RCU get_user_pages_fast() This series implements general forms of get_user_pages_fast and __get_user_pages_fast in core code and activates them for arm and arm64. These are required for Transparent HugePages to function correctly, as a futex on a THP tail will otherwise result in an infinite loop (due to the core implementation of __get_user_pages_fast always returning 0). Unfortunately, a futex on THP tail can be quite common for certain workloads; thus THP is unreliable without a __get_user_pages_fast implementation. This series may also be beneficial for direct-IO heavy workloads and certain KVM workloads. This patch (of 6): get_user_pages_fast() attempts to pin user pages by walking the page tables directly and avoids taking locks. Thus the walker needs to be protected from page table pages being freed from under it, and needs to block any THP splits. One way to achieve this is to have the walker disable interrupts, and rely on IPIs from the TLB flushing code blocking before the page table pages are freed. On some platforms we have hardware broadcast of TLB invalidations, thus the TLB flushing code doesn't necessarily need to broadcast IPIs; and spuriously broadcasting IPIs can hurt system performance if done too often. This problem has been solved on PowerPC and Sparc by batching up page table pages belonging to more than one mm_user, then scheduling an rcu_sched callback to free the pages. This RCU page table free logic has been promoted to core code and is activated when one enables HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE. Unfortunately, these architectures implement their own get_user_pages_fast routines. The RCU page table free logic coupled with an IPI broadcast on THP split (which is a rare event), allows one to protect a page table walker by merely disabling the interrupts during the walk. This patch provides a general RCU implementation of get_user_pages_fast that can be used by architectures that perform hardware broadcast of TLB invalidations. It is based heavily on the PowerPC implementation by Nick Piggin.

*
* Returns number of pages pinned. This may be fewer than the number

* with a put_page() call when it is finished with. vmas will only
* remain valid while mmap_sem is held.
*
* Must be called with mmap_sem held. It may be released. See below.
*
* __get_user_pages walks a process's page tables and takes a reference to
* each struct page that each user address corresponds to at a given
* instant. That is, it takes the page that would be accessed if a user
* thread accesses the given user virtual address at that instant.
*
* This does not guarantee that the page exists in the user mappings when

* page there in some cases (eg. if mmapped pagecache has been invalidated
* and subsequently re faulted). However it does guarantee that the page
* won't be freed completely. And mostly callers simply care that the page
* contains data that was valid *at some point in time*. Typically, an IO
* or similar operation cannot guarantee anything stronger anyway because
* locks can't be held over the syscall boundary.
*
* If @gup_flags & FOLL_WRITE == 0, the page must not be written to. If
* the page is written to, set_page_dirty (or set_page_dirty_lock, as
* appropriate) must be called after the page is finished with, and
* before put_page is called.
*
* If @nonblocking != NULL, __get_user_pages will not wait for disk IO
* or mmap_sem contention, and if waiting is needed to pin all pages,
* *@nonblocking will be set to 0. Further, if @gup_flags does not
* include FOLL_NOWAIT, the mmap_sem will be released via up_read() in
* this case.
*
* A caller using such a combination of @nonblocking and @gup_flags
* must therefore hold the mmap_sem for reading only, and recognize
* when it's been released. Otherwise, it must be held for either
* reading or writing and will not be released.

mm: introduce a general RCU get_user_pages_fast() This series implements general forms of get_user_pages_fast and __get_user_pages_fast in core code and activates them for arm and arm64. These are required for Transparent HugePages to function correctly, as a futex on a THP tail will otherwise result in an infinite loop (due to the core implementation of __get_user_pages_fast always returning 0). Unfortunately, a futex on THP tail can be quite common for certain workloads; thus THP is unreliable without a __get_user_pages_fast implementation. This series may also be beneficial for direct-IO heavy workloads and certain KVM workloads. This patch (of 6): get_user_pages_fast() attempts to pin user pages by walking the page tables directly and avoids taking locks. Thus the walker needs to be protected from page table pages being freed from under it, and needs to block any THP splits. One way to achieve this is to have the walker disable interrupts, and rely on IPIs from the TLB flushing code blocking before the page table pages are freed. On some platforms we have hardware broadcast of TLB invalidations, thus the TLB flushing code doesn't necessarily need to broadcast IPIs; and spuriously broadcasting IPIs can hurt system performance if done too often. This problem has been solved on PowerPC and Sparc by batching up page table pages belonging to more than one mm_user, then scheduling an rcu_sched callback to free the pages. This RCU page table free logic has been promoted to core code and is activated when one enables HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE. Unfortunately, these architectures implement their own get_user_pages_fast routines. The RCU page table free logic coupled with an IPI broadcast on THP split (which is a rare event), allows one to protect a page table walker by merely disabling the interrupts during the walk. This patch provides a general RCU implementation of get_user_pages_fast that can be used by architectures that perform hardware broadcast of TLB invalidations.

* Generic RCU Fast GUP
*
* get_user_pages_fast attempts to pin user pages by walking the page
* tables directly and avoids taking locks. Thus the walker needs to be
* protected from page table pages being freed from under it, and should
* block any THP splits.
*
* One way to achieve this is to have the walker disable interrupts, and
* rely on IPIs from the TLB flushing code blocking before the page table
* pages are freed. This is unsuitable for architectures that do not need
* to broadcast an IPI when invalidating TLBs.
*
* Another way to achieve this is to batch up page table containing pages
* belonging to more than one mm_user, then rcu_sched a callback to free those
* pages. Disabling interrupts will allow the fast_gup walker to both block
* the rcu_sched callback, and an IPI that we broadcast for splitting THPs
* (which is a relatively rare event). The code below adopts this strategy.
*
* Before activating this code, please be aware that the following assumptions
* are currently made:
*
* *) HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE is enabled, and tlb_remove_table is used to free
* pages containing page tables.
*
* *) THP splits will broadcast an IPI, this can be achieved by overriding
* pmdp_splitting_flush.
*
* *) ptes can be read atomically by the architecture.
*
* *) access_ok is sufficient to validate userspace address ranges.
*
* The last two assumptions can be relaxed by the addition of helper functions.
*
* This code is based heavily on the PowerPC implementation by Nick Piggin.

mm: introduce a general RCU get_user_pages_fast() This series implements general forms of get_user_pages_fast and __get_user_pages_fast in core code and activates them for arm and arm64. These are required for Transparent HugePages to function correctly, as a futex on a THP tail will otherwise result in an infinite loop (due to the core implementation of __get_user_pages_fast always returning 0). Unfortunately, a futex on THP tail can be quite common for certain workloads; thus THP is unreliable without a __get_user_pages_fast implementation. This series may also be beneficial for direct-IO heavy workloads and certain KVM workloads. This patch (of 6): get_user_pages_fast() attempts to pin user pages by walking the page tables directly and avoids taking locks. Thus the walker needs to be protected from page table pages being freed from under it, and needs to block any THP splits. One way to achieve this is to have the walker disable interrupts, and rely on IPIs from the TLB flushing code blocking before the page table pages are freed. On some platforms we have hardware broadcast of TLB invalidations, thus the TLB flushing code doesn't necessarily need to broadcast IPIs; and spuriously broadcasting IPIs can hurt system performance if done too often. This problem has been solved on PowerPC and Sparc by batching up page table pages belonging to more than one mm_user, then scheduling an rcu_sched callback to free the pages. This RCU page table free logic has been promoted to core code and is activated when one enables HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE. Unfortunately, these architectures implement their own get_user_pages_fast routines. The RCU page table free logic coupled with an IPI broadcast on THP split (which is a rare event), allows one to protect a page table walker by merely disabling the interrupts during the walk.
