mm/gup: follow_pfn_pte(): -EEXIST cleanup
Remove a quirky special case from follow_pfn_pte(), and adjust its callers to match. Caller changes include: __get_user_pages(): Regardless of any FOLL_* flags, get_user_pages() and its variants should handle PFN-only entries by stopping early, if the caller expected **pages to be filled in. This makes for a more reliable API, as compared to the previous approach of skipping over such entries (and thus leaving them silently unwritten). move_pages(): squash the -EEXIST error return from follow_page() into -EFAULT, because -EFAULT is listed in the man page, whereas -EEXIST is not.

mm: gup: make fault_in_safe_writeable() use fixup_user_fault()
Instead of using GUP, make fault_in_safe_writeable() actually force a
'handle_mm_fault()' using the same fixup_user_fault() machinery that
futexes already use.
Using the GUP machinery meant that fault_in_safe_writeable() did not do
everything that a real fault would do, ranging from not auto-expanding
the stack segment, to not updating accessed or dirty flags in the page
tables (GUP sets those flags on the pages themselves).
The latter causes problems on architectures (like s390) that do accessed
bit handling in software, which meant that fault_in_safe_writeable()
didn't actually do all the fault handling it needed to, and trying to
access the user address afterwards would still cause faults.

mm/gup.c: stricter check on THP migration entry during follow_pmd_mask
When BUG_ON check for THP migration entry, the existing code only check thp_migration_supported case, but not for !thp_migration_supported case. If !thp_migration_supported() and !pmd_present(), the original code may dead loop in theory. To make the BUG_ON check consistent, we need catch both cases. Move the BUG_ON check one step earlier, because if the bug happen we should know it instead of depend on FOLL_MIGRATION been used by caller. Because pmdval instead of *pmd is read by the is_pmd_migration_entry() check, the existing code don't help to avoid useless locking within pmd_migration_entry_wait(), so remove that check.

gup: Turn fault_in_pages_{readable,writeable} into fault_in_{readable,writeable}
Turn fault_in_pages_{readable,writeable} into versions that return the
number of bytes not faulted in, similar to copy_to_user, instead of
returning a non-zero value when any of the requested pages couldn't be
faulted in. This supports the existing users that require all pages to
be faulted in as well as new users that are happy if any pages can be
faulted in.
Rename the functions to fault_in_{readable,writeable} to make sure
this change doesn't silently break things.
Neither of these functions is entirely trivial and it doesn't seem
useful to inline them, so move them to mm/gup.c.

mm/migrate: enable returning precise migrate_pages() success count
Under normal circumstances, migrate_pages() returns the number of pages migrated. In error conditions, it returns an error code. When returning an error code, there is no way to know how many pages were migrated or not migrated. Make migrate_pages() return how many pages are demoted successfully for all cases, including when encountering errors. Page reclaim behavior will depend on this in subsequent patches.

mm/gup: remove try_get_page(), call try_get_compound_head() directly
try_get_page() is very similar to try_get_compound_head(), and in fact try_get_page() has fallen a little behind in terms of maintenance: try_get_compound_head() handles speculative page references more thoroughly. There are only two try_get_page() callsites, so just call try_get_compound_head() directly from those, and remove try_get_page() entirely. Also, seeing as how this changes try_get_compound_head() into a non-static function, provide some kerneldoc documentation for it.

mm/gup: documentation corrections for gup/pup
Patch series "A few gup refactorings and documentation updates", v3. While reviewing some of the other things going on around gup.c, I noticed that the documentation was wrong for a few of the routines that I wrote. And then I noticed that there was some significant code duplication too. So this fixes those issues. This is not entirely risk-free, but after looking closely at this, I think it's actually a useful improvement, getting rid of the code duplication here. This patch (of 3): The documentation for try_grab_compound_head() and try_grab_page() has fallen a little out of date. Update and clarify a few points. Also make it kerneldoc-correct, by adding @args documentation.

mm/madvise: report SIGBUS as -EFAULT for MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE)
Doing some extended tests and polishing the man page update for
MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE), I realized that we end up converting also
SIGBUS (via -EFAULT) to -EINVAL, making it look like yet another
madvise() user error.
We want to report only problematic mappings and permission problems that
the user could have know as -EINVAL.
Let's not convert -EFAULT arising due to SIGBUS (or SIGSEGV) to -EINVAL,
but instead indicate -EFAULT to user space. While we could also convert
it to -ENOMEM, using -EFAULT looks more helpful when user space might
want to troubleshoot what's going wrong: MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) is
not part of an final Linux release and we can still adjust the behavior.

mm: introduce memfd_secret system call to create "secret" memory areas
Introduce "memfd_secret" system call with the ability to create memory
areas visible only in the context of the owning process and not mapped not
only to other processes but in the kernel page tables as well.
The secretmem feature is off by default and the user must explicitly
enable it at the boot time.
Once secretmem is enabled, the user will be able to create a file
descriptor using the memfd_secret() system call. The memory areas created
by mmap() calls from this file descriptor will be unmapped from the kernel
direct map and they will be only mapped in the page table of the processes
that have access to the file descriptor.
Secretmem is designed to provide the following protections:
* Enhanced protection (in conjunction with all the other in-kernel
attack prevention systems) against ROP attacks. Seceretmem makes
"simple" ROP insufficient to perform exfiltration, which increases the
required complexity of the attack. Along with other protections like
the kernel stack size limit and address space layout randomization which
make finding gadgets is really hard, absence of any in-kernel primitive
for accessing secret memory means the one gadget ROP attack can't work.
Since the only way to access secret memory is to reconstruct the missing
mapping entry, the attacker has to recover the physical page and insert
a PTE pointing to it in the kernel and then retrieve the contents. That
takes at least three gadgets which is a level of difficulty beyond most
standard attacks.
* Prevent cross-process secret userspace memory exposures. Once the
secret memory is allocated, the user can't accidentally pass it into the
kernel to be transmitted somewhere. The secreremem pages cannot be
accessed via the direct map and they are disallowed in GUP.
* Harden against exploited kernel flaws. In order to access secretmem,
a kernel-side attack would need to either walk the page tables and
create new ones, or spawn a new privileged uiserspace process to perform
secrets exfiltration using ptrace.
The file descriptor based memory has several advantages over the
"traditional" mm interfaces, such as mlock(), mprotect(), madvise(). File
descriptor approach allows explicit and controlled sharing of the memory
areas, it allows to seal the operations. Besides, file descriptor based
memory paves the way for VMMs to remove the secret memory range from the
userspace hipervisor process, for instance QEMU. Andy Lutomirski says:
"Getting fd-backed memory into a guest will take some possibly major
work in the kernel, but getting vma-backed memory into a guest without
mapping it in the host user address space seems much, much worse."
memfd_secret() is made a dedicated system call rather than an extension to
memfd_create() because it's purpose is to allow the user to create more
secure memory mappings rather than to simply allow file based access to
the memory. Nowadays a new system call cost is negligible while it is way
simpler for userspace to deal with a clear-cut system calls than with a
multiplexer or an overloaded syscall. Moreover, the initial
implementation of memfd_secret() is completely distinct from
memfd_create() so there is no much sense in overloading memfd_create() to
begin with. If there will be a need for code sharing between these
implementation it can be easily achieved without a need to adjust user
visible APIs.
The secret memory remains accessible in the process context using uaccess
primitives, but it is not exposed to the kernel otherwise; secret memory
areas are removed from the direct map and functions in the
follow_page()/get_user_page() family will refuse to return a page that
belongs to the secret memory area.
Once there will be a use case that will require exposing secretmem to the
kernel it will be an opt-in request in the system call flags so that user
would have to decide what data can be exposed to the kernel.
Removing of the pages from the direct map may cause its fragmentation on
architectures that use large pages to map the physical memory which
affects the system performance. However, the original Kconfig text for
CONFIG_DIRECT_GBPAGES said that gigabyte pages in the direct map "... can
improve the kernel's performance a tiny bit ..." (commit

mm/madvise: introduce MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) to prefault page tables
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

mm: gup: pack has_pinned in MMF_HAS_PINNED
has_pinned 32bit can be packed in the MMF_HAS_PINNED bit as a noop cleanup. Any atomic_inc/dec to the mm cacheline shared by all threads in pin-fast would reintroduce a loss of SMP scalability to pin-fast, so there's no future potential usefulness to keep an atomic in the mm for this. set_bit(MMF_HAS_PINNED) will be theoretically a bit slower than WRITE_ONCE (atomic_set is equivalent to WRITE_ONCE), but the set_bit (just like atomic_set after this commit) has to be still issued only once per "mm", so the difference between the two will be lost in the noise. will-it-scale "mmap2" shows no change in performance with enterprise config as expected. will-it-scale "pin_fast" retains the > 4000% SMP scalability performance improvement against upstream as expected. This is a noop as far as overall performance and SMP scalability are concerned.

mm: gup: allow FOLL_PIN to scale in SMP
has_pinned cannot be written by each pin-fast or it won't scale in SMP. This isn't "false sharing" strictly speaking (it's more like "true non-sharing"), but it creates the same SMP scalability bottleneck of "false sharing". To verify the improvement, below test is done on 40 cpus host with Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v4 @ 2.20GHz (must be with CONFIG_GUP_TEST=y): $ sudo chrt -f 1 ./gup_test -a -m 512 -j 40 Where we can get (average value for 40 threads): Old kernel: 477729.97 (+- 3.79%) New kernel: 89144.65 (+-11.76%) On a similar condition with 256 cpus, this commits increases the SMP scalability of pin_user_pages_fast() executed by different threads of the same process by more than 4000%.

mm/gup: fix try_grab_compound_head() race with split_huge_page()
try_grab_compound_head() is used to grab a reference to a page from
get_user_pages_fast(), which is only protected against concurrent freeing
of page tables (via local_irq_save()), but not against concurrent TLB
flushes, freeing of data pages, or splitting of compound pages.
Because no reference is held to the page when try_grab_compound_head() is
called, the page may have been freed and reallocated by the time its
refcount has been elevated; therefore, once we're holding a stable
reference to the page, the caller re-checks whether the PTE still points
to the same page (with the same access rights).
The problem is that try_grab_compound_head() has to grab a reference on
the head page; but between the time we look up what the head page is and
the time we actually grab a reference on the head page, the compound page
may have been split up (either explicitly through split_huge_page() or by
freeing the compound page to the buddy allocator and then allocating its
individual order-0 pages). If that happens, get_user_pages_fast() may end
up returning the right page but lifting the refcount on a now-unrelated
page, leading to use-after-free of pages.
To fix it: Re-check whether the pages still belong together after lifting
the refcount on the head page. Move anything else that checks
compound_head(page) below the refcount increment.
This can't actually happen on bare-metal x86 (because there, disabling
IRQs locks out remote TLB flushes), but it can happen on virtualized x86
(e.g. under KVM) and probably also on arm64. The race window is pretty
narrow, and constantly allocating and shattering hugepages isn't exactly
fast; for now I've only managed to reproduce this in an x86 KVM guest with
an artificially widened timing window (by adding a loop that repeatedly
calls `inl(0x3f8 + 5)` in `try_get_compound_head()` to force VM exits, so
that PV TLB flushes are used instead of IPIs).
As requested on the list, also replace the existing VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() with
a warning and bailout. Since the existing code only performed the BUG_ON
check on DEBUG_VM kernels, ensure that the new code also only performs the
check under that configuration - I don't want to mix two logically
separate changes together too much. The macro VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_PAGE()
doesn't return a value on !DEBUG_VM, so wrap the whole check in an #ifdef
block. An alternative would be to change the VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_PAGE()
definition for !DEBUG_VM such that it always returns false, but since that
would differ from the behavior of the normal WARN macros, it might be too
confusing for readers.

mm/gup: change index type to long as it counts pages

mm cma: rename PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA to PF_MEMALLOC_PIN
PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA is used ot guarantee that the allocator will not return pages that might belong to CMA region. This is currently used for long term gup to make sure that such pins are not going to be done on any CMA pages. When PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA has been introduced we haven't realized that it is focusing on CMA pages too much and that there is larger class of pages that need the same treatment. MOVABLE zone cannot contain any long term pins as well so it makes sense to reuse and redefine this flag for that usecase as well. Rename the flag to PF_MEMALLOC_PIN which defines an allocation context which can only get pages suitable for long-term pins. Also rename: memalloc_nocma_save()/memalloc_nocma_restore to memalloc_pin_save()/memalloc_pin_restore() and make the new functions common.

It is still possible that we pin movable CMA pages if there are

mm/gup: check every subpage of a compound page during isolation
When pages are isolated in check_and_migrate_movable_pages() we skip
compound number of pages at a time. However, as Jason noted, it is not
necessary correct that pages[i] corresponds to the pages that we
skipped. This is because it is possible that the addresses in this
range had split_huge_pmd()/split_huge_pud(), and these functions do not
update the compound page metadata.
The problem can be reproduced if something like this occurs:
1. User faulted huge pages.
2. split_huge_pmd() was called for some reason
3. User has unmapped some sub-pages in the range
4. User tries to longterm pin the addresses.
The resulting pages[i] might end-up having pages which are not compound
size page aligned.

mm/gup: don't pin migrated cma pages in movable zone
Patch series "prohibit pinning pages in ZONE_MOVABLE", v11. When page is pinned it cannot be moved and its physical address stays the same until pages is unpinned. This is useful functionality to allows userland to implementation DMA access. For example, it is used by vfio in vfio_pin_pages(). However, this functionality breaks memory hotplug/hotremove assumptions that pages in ZONE_MOVABLE can always be migrated. This patch series fixes this issue by forcing new allocations during page pinning to omit ZONE_MOVABLE, and also to migrate any existing pages from ZONE_MOVABLE during pinning. It uses the same scheme logic that is currently used by CMA, and extends the functionality for all allocations. For more information read the discussion [1] about this problem. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CA+CK2bBffHBxjmb9jmSKacm0fJMinyt3Nhk8Nx6iudcQSj80_w@mail.gmail.com This patch (of 14): In order not to fragment CMA the pinned pages are migrated. However, they are migrated to ZONE_MOVABLE, which also should not have pinned pages. Remove __GFP_MOVABLE, so pages can be migrated to zones where pinning is allowed.

mm/gup: add a range variant of unpin_user_pages_dirty_lock()
Add an unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock() API which takes a starting page and how many consecutive pages we want to unpin and optionally dirty. To that end, define another iterator for_each_compound_range() that operates in page ranges as opposed to page array. For users (like RDMA mr_dereg) where each sg represents a contiguous set of pages, we're able to more efficiently unpin pages without having to supply an array of pages much of what happens today with unpin_user_pages().

mm/gup: decrement head page once for group of subpages
Rather than decrementing the head page refcount one by one, we walk the page array and checking which belong to the same compound_head. Later on we decrement the calculated amount of references in a single write to the head page. To that end switch to for_each_compound_head() does most of the work. set_page_dirty() needs no adjustment as it's a nop for non-dirty head pages and it doesn't operate on tail pages. This considerably improves unpinning of pages with THP and hugetlbfs: - THP gup_test -t -m 16384 -r 10 [-L|-a] -S -n 512 -w PIN_LONGTERM_BENCHMARK (put values): ~87.6k us -> ~23.2k us - 16G with 1G huge page size gup_test -f /mnt/huge/file -m 16384 -r 10 [-L|-a] -S -n 512 -w PIN_LONGTERM_BENCHMARK: (put values): ~87.6k us -> ~27.5k us Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210212130843.13865-3-joao.m.martins@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Joao Martins <joao.m.martins@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@nvidia.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Cc: Doug Ledford <dledford@redhat.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

mm/gup: add compound page list iterator
Patch series "mm/gup: page unpining improvements", v4. This series improves page unpinning, with an eye on improving MR deregistration for big swaths of memory (which is bound by the page unpining), particularly: 1) Decrement the head page by @ntails and thus reducing a lot the number of atomic operations per compound page. This is done by comparing individual tail pages heads, and counting number of consecutive tails on which they match heads and based on that update head page refcount. Should have a visible improvement in all page (un)pinners which use compound pages 2) Introducing a new API for unpinning page ranges (to avoid the trick in the previous item and be based on math), and use that in RDMA ib_mem_release (used for mr deregistration). Performance improvements: unpin_user_pages() for hugetlbfs and THP improves ~3x (through gup_test) and RDMA MR dereg improves ~4.5x with the new API. See patches 2 and 4 for those. This patch (of 4): Add a helper that iterates over head pages in a list of pages. It essentially counts the tails until the next page to process has a different head that the current. This is going to be used by unpin_user_pages() family of functions, to batch the head page refcount updates once for all passed consecutive tail pages.

mm/gup: check page posion status for coredump.
When we do coredump for user process signal, this may be an SIGBUS signal with BUS_MCEERR_AR or BUS_MCEERR_AO code, which means this signal is resulted from ECC memory fail like SRAR or SRAO, we expect the memory recovery work is finished correctly, then the get_dump_page() will not return the error page as its process pte is set invalid by memory_failure(). But memory_failure() may fail, and the process's related pte may not be correctly set invalid, for current code, we will return the poison page, get it dumped, and then lead to system panic as its in kernel code. So check the poison status in get_dump_page(), and if TRUE, return NULL. There maybe other scenario that is also better to check the posion status and not to panic, so make a wrapper for this check, Thanks to David's suggestion(<david@redhat.com>).

mm/hugetlb: grab head page refcount once for group of subpages
Patch series "mm/hugetlb: follow_hugetlb_page() improvements", v2. While looking at ZONE_DEVICE struct page reuse particularly the last patch[0], I found two possible improvements for follow_hugetlb_page() which is solely used for get_user_pages()/pin_user_pages(). The first patch batches page refcount updates while the second tidies up storing the subpages/vmas. Both together bring the cost of slow variant of gup() cost from ~87.6k usecs to ~5.8k usecs. libhugetlbfs tests seem to pass as well gup_test benchmarks with hugetlbfs vmas. This patch (of 2): follow_hugetlb_page() once it locks the pmd/pud, checks all its N subpages in a huge page and grabs a reference for each one. Similar to gup-fast, have follow_hugetlb_page() grab the head page refcount only after counting all its subpages that are part of the just faulted huge page. Consequently we reduce the number of atomics necessary to pin said huge page, which improves non-fast gup() considerably: - 16G with 1G huge page size gup_test -f /mnt/huge/file -m 16384 -r 10 -L -S -n 512 -w PIN_LONGTERM_BENCHMARK: ~87.6k us -> ~12.8k us Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210128182632.24562-1-joao.m.martins@oracle.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210128182632.24562-2-joao.m.martins@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Joao Martins <joao.m.martins@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

mm: fix kernel-doc markups
Kernel-doc markups should use this format:
identifier - description
Fix some issues on mm files:
1) The definition for get_user_pages_locked() doesn't follow it. Also,
it expects a short descrpition at the header, followed by a long one,
after the parameters. Fix it.
2) Kernel-doc requires that a kernel-doc markup to be immediately below
the function prototype, as otherwise it will rename it. So, move
get_pfnblock_flags_mask() description to the right place.
3) Make invalidate_mapping_pagevec() to also follow the expected
kernel-doc format.
While here, fix a few minor English syntax issues, as suggested
by Matthew:

mm/gup: combine put_compound_head() and unpin_user_page()
These functions accomplish the same thing but have different
implementations.
unpin_user_page() has a bug where it calls mod_node_page_state() after
calling put_page() which creates a risk that the page could have been
hot-uplugged from the system.
Fix this by using put_compound_head() as the only implementation.
__unpin_devmap_managed_user_page() and related can be deleted as well in
favour of the simpler, but slower, version in put_compound_head() that has
an extra atomic page_ref_sub, but always calls put_page() which internally
contains the special devmap code.
Move put_compound_head() to be directly after try_grab_compound_head() so
people can find it in future.

mm/gup: remove the vma allocation from gup_longterm_locked()
Long ago there wasn't a FOLL_LONGTERM flag so this DAX check was done by post-processing the VMA list. These days it is trivial to just check each VMA to see if it is DAX before processing it inside __get_user_pages() and return failure if a DAX VMA is encountered with FOLL_LONGTERM. Removing the allocation of the VMA list is a significant speed up for many call sites. Add an IS_ENABLED to vma_is_fsdax so that code generation is unchanged when DAX is compiled out. Remove the dummy version of __gup_longterm_locked() as !CONFIG_CMA already makes memalloc_nocma_save(), check_and_migrate_cma_pages(), and memalloc_nocma_restore() into a NOP.
