We want to limit the use of page_mapcount() to places where absolutely
required, to prepare for kernel configs where we won't keep track of
per-page mapcounts in large folios.
khugepaged is one of the remaining "more challenging" page_mapcount()
users, but we might be able to move away from page_mapcount() without
resulting in a significant behavior change that would warrant
special-casing based on kernel configs.
In 2020, we first added support to khugepaged for collapsing COW-shared
pages via commit 9445689f3b ("khugepaged: allow to collapse a page
shared across fork"), followed by support for collapsing PTE-mapped THP in
commit 5503fbf2b0 ("khugepaged: allow to collapse PTE-mapped compound
pages") and limiting the memory waste via the "page_count() > 1" check in
commit 71a2c112a0 ("khugepaged: introduce 'max_ptes_shared' tunable").
As a default, khugepaged will allow up to half of the PTEs to map shared
pages: where page_mapcount() > 1. MADV_COLLAPSE ignores the khugepaged
setting.
khugepaged does currently not care about swapcache page references, and
does not check under folio lock: so in some corner cases the "shared vs.
exclusive" detection might be a bit off, making us detect "exclusive" when
it's actually "shared".
Most of our anonymous folios in the system are usually exclusive. We
frequently see sharing of anonymous folios for a short period of time,
after which our short-lived suprocesses either quit or exec().
There are some famous examples, though, where child processes exist for a
long time, and where memory is COW-shared with a lot of processes
(webservers, webbrowsers, sshd, ...) and COW-sharing is crucial for
reducing the memory footprint. We don't want to suddenly change the
behavior to result in a significant increase in memory waste.
Interestingly, khugepaged will only collapse an anonymous THP if at least
one PTE is writable. After fork(), that means that something (usually a
page fault) populated at least a single exclusive anonymous THP in that
PMD range.
So ... what happens when we switch to "is this folio mapped shared"
instead of "is this page mapped shared" by using
folio_likely_mapped_shared()?
For "not-COW-shared" folios, small folios and for THPs (large folios) that
are completely mapped into at least one process, switching to
folio_likely_mapped_shared() will not result in a change.
We'll only see a change for COW-shared PTE-mapped THPs that are partially
mapped into all involved processes.
There are two cases to consider:
(A) folio_likely_mapped_shared() returns "false" for a PTE-mapped THP
If the folio is detected as exclusive, and it actually is exclusive,
there is no change: page_mapcount() == 1. This is the common case
without fork() or with short-lived child processes.
folio_likely_mapped_shared() might currently still detect a folio as
exclusive although it is shared (false negatives): if the first page is
not mapped multiple times and if the average per-page mapcount is smaller
than 1, implying that (1) the folio is partially mapped and (2) if we are
responsible for many mapcounts by mapping many pages others can't
("mostly exclusive") (3) if we are not responsible for many mapcounts by
mapping little pages ("mostly shared") it won't make a big impact on the
end result.
So while we might now detect a page as "exclusive" although it isn't,
it's not expected to make a big difference in common cases.
(B) folio_likely_mapped_shared() returns "true" for a PTE-mapped THP
folio_likely_mapped_shared() will never detect a large anonymous folio
as shared although it is exclusive: there are no false positives.
If we detect a THP as shared, at least one page of the THP is mapped by
another process. It could well be that some pages are actually exclusive.
For example, our child processes could have unmapped/COW'ed some pages
such that they would now be exclusive to out process, which we now
would treat as still-shared.
Examples:
(1) Parent maps all pages of a THP, child maps some pages. We detect
all pages in the parent as shared although some are actually
exclusive.
(2) Parent maps all but some page of a THP, child maps the remainder.
We detect all pages of the THP that the parent maps as shared
although they are all exclusive.
In (1) we wouldn't collapse a THP right now already: no PTE
is writable, because a write fault would have resulted in COW of a
single page and the parent would no longer map all pages of that THP.
For (2) we would have collapsed a THP in the parent so far, now we
wouldn't as long as the child process is still alive: unless the child
process unmaps the remaining THP pages or we decide to split that THP.
Possibly, the child COW'ed many pages, meaning that it's likely that
we can populate a THP for our child first, and then for our parent.
For (2), we are making really bad use of the THP in the first
place (not even mapped completely in at least one process). If the
THP would be completely partially mapped, it would be on the deferred
split queue where we would split it lazily later.
For short-running child processes, we don't particularly care. For
long-running processes, the expectation is that such scenarios are
rather rare: further, a THP might be best placed if most data in the
PMD range is actually written, implying that we'll have to COW more
pages first before khugepaged would collapse it.
To summarize, in the common case, this change is not expected to matter
much. The more common application of khugepaged operates on exclusive
pages, either before fork() or after a child quit.
Can we improve (A)? Yes, if we implement more precise tracking of "mapped
shared" vs. "mapped exclusively", we could get rid of the false negatives
completely.
Can we improve (B)? We could count how many pages of a large folio we map
inside the current page table and detect that we are responsible for most
of the folio mapcount and conclude "as good as exclusive", which might
help in some cases. ... but likely, some other mechanism should detect
that the THP is not a good use in the scenario (not even mapped completely
in a single process) and try splitting that folio lazily etc.
We'll move the folio_test_anon() check before our "shared" check, so we
might get more expressive results for SCAN_EXCEED_SHARED_PTE: this order
of checks now matches the one in __collapse_huge_page_isolate(). Extend
documentation.

A data-race issue in memcg rstat occurs when two distinct code paths

following BUG as a result.

The race occurs because two code paths access the same "stats_updates"
location. Although "stats_updates" is a per-CPU variable, it is remotely
accessed by another CPU at
cgroup_rstat_flush_locked()->mem_cgroup_css_rstat_flush(), leading to the
data race mentioned.
Considering that memcg_rstat_updated() is in the hot code path, adding a
lock to protect it may not be desirable, especially since this variable
pertains solely to statistics.
Therefore, annotating accesses to stats_updates with READ/WRITE_ONCE() can
prevent KCSAN splats and potential partial reads/writes.

This patch optimizes lazyfreeing with PTE-mapped mTHP[1] (Inspired by
David Hildenbrand[2]). We aim to avoid unnecessary folio splitting if the
large folio is fully mapped within the target range.
If a large folio is locked or shared, or if we fail to split it, we just
leave it in place and advance to the next PTE in the range. But note that
the behavior is changed; previously, any failure of this sort would cause
the entire operation to give up. As large folios become more common,
sticking to the old way could result in wasted opportunities.
On an Intel I5 CPU, lazyfreeing a 1GiB VMA backed by PTE-mapped folios of
the same size results in the following runtimes for madvise(MADV_FREE) in
seconds (shorter is better):
Folio Size | Old | New | Change

This commit adds the any_dirty pointer as an optional parameter to
folio_pte_batch() function. By using both the any_young and any_dirty
pointers, madvise_free can make smarter decisions about whether to clear
the PTEs when marking large folios as lazyfree.

The per-pte get_and_clear/modify/set approach would result in
unfolding/refolding for contpte mappings on arm64. So we need to override
clear_young_dirty_ptes() for arm64 to avoid it.

Patch series "mm/madvise: enhance lazyfreeing with mTHP in madvise_free",
v10.
This patchset adds support for lazyfreeing multi-size THP (mTHP) without
needing to first split the large folio via split_folio(). However, we
still need to split a large folio that is not fully mapped within the
target range.
If a large folio is locked or shared, or if we fail to split it, we just
leave it in place and advance to the next PTE in the range. But note that
the behavior is changed; previously, any failure of this sort would cause
the entire operation to give up. As large folios become more common,
sticking to the old way could result in wasted opportunities.
Performance Testing
===================
On an Intel I5 CPU, lazyfreeing a 1GiB VMA backed by PTE-mapped folios of
the same size results in the following runtimes for madvise(MADV_FREE) in
seconds (shorter is better):
Folio Size | Old | New | Change
------------------------------------------
4KiB | 0.590251 | 0.590259 | 0%
16KiB | 2.990447 | 0.185655 | -94%

This patch (of 4):
This commit introduces clear_young_dirty_ptes() to replace mkold_ptes().
By doing so, we can use the same function for both use cases
(madvise_pageout and madvise_free), and it also provides the flexibility
to only clear the dirty flag in the future if needed.

The documentation is wrong and relying on it almost resulted in BUGs in
new callers: ever since fd4a7ac329 ("mm: migrate: try again if THP split
is failed due to page refcnt") we return -EAGAIN on unexpected folio
references, not -EBUSY.
Let's fix that and also document which other return values we can
currently see and why they could happen.

Allow page_table_check hooks to check over userfaultfd wr-protect criteria
upon pgtable updates. The rule is no co-existance allowed for any
writable flag against userfault wr-protect flag.
This should be better than c2da319c2e, where we used to only sanitize such
issues during a pgtable walk, but when hitting such issue we don't have a
good chance to know where does that writable bit came from [1], so that
even the pgtable walk exposes a kernel bug (which is still helpful on
triaging) but not easy to track and debug.
Now we switch to track the source. It's much easier too with the recent
introduction of page table check.
There are some limitations with using the page table check here for
userfaultfd wr-protect purpose:
- It is only enabled with explicit enablement of page table check configs
and/or boot parameters, but should be good enough to track at least
syzbot issues, as syzbot should enable PAGE_TABLE_CHECK[_ENFORCED] for
x86 [1]. We used to have DEBUG_VM but it's now off for most distros,
while distros also normally not enable PAGE_TABLE_CHECK[_ENFORCED], which
is similar.
- It conditionally works with the ptep_modify_prot API. It will be
bypassed when e.g. XEN PV is enabled, however still work for most of the
rest scenarios, which should be the common cases so should be good
enough.
- Hugetlb check is a bit hairy, as the page table check cannot identify
hugetlb pte or normal pte via trapping at set_pte_at(), because of the
current design where hugetlb maps every layers to pte_t... For example,
the default set_huge_pte_at() can invoke set_pte_at() directly and lose
the hugetlb context, treating it the same as a normal pte_t. So far it's
fine because we have huge_pte_uffd_wp() always equals to pte_uffd_wp() as
long as supported (x86 only). It'll be a bigger problem when we'll
define _PAGE_UFFD_WP differently at various pgtable levels, because then
one huge_pte_uffd_wp() per-arch will stop making sense first.. as of now
we can leave this for later too.
This patch also removes commit c2da319c2e altogether, as we have something
better now.

Let's get rid of another page_mapcount() check and simply use
folio_likely_mapped_shared(), which is precise for hugetlb folios.
While at it, use huge_ptep_get() + pte_page() instead of ptep_get() +
vm_normal_page(), just like we do in pagemap_hugetlb_range().
No functional change intended.
