The page migration code employs try_to_unmap() to try and unmap the source
page. This is accomplished by using rmap_walk to find all vmas where the
page is mapped. This search stops when page mapcount is zero. For shared
PMD huge pages, the page map count is always 1 no matter the number of
mappings. Shared mappings are tracked via the reference count of the PMD
page. Therefore, try_to_unmap stops prematurely and does not completely
unmap all mappings of the source page.
This problem can result is data corruption as writes to the original
source page can happen after contents of the page are copied to the target
page. Hence, data is lost.
This problem was originally seen as DB corruption of shared global areas
after a huge page was soft offlined due to ECC memory errors. DB
developers noticed they could reproduce the issue by (hotplug) offlining
memory used to back huge pages. A simple testcase can reproduce the
problem by creating a shared PMD mapping (note that this must be at least
PUD_SIZE in size and PUD_SIZE aligned (1GB on x86)), and using
migrate_pages() to migrate process pages between nodes while continually
writing to the huge pages being migrated.
To fix, have the try_to_unmap_one routine check for huge PMD sharing by
calling huge_pmd_unshare for hugetlbfs huge pages. If it is a shared
mapping it will be 'unshared' which removes the page table entry and drops
the reference on the PMD page. After this, flush caches and TLB.
mmu notifiers are called before locking page tables, but we can not be
sure of PMD sharing until page tables are locked. Therefore, check for
the possibility of PMD sharing before locking so that notifiers can
prepare for the worst possible case.

KVM guests on s390 can notify the host of unused pages. This can result
in pte_unused callbacks to be true for KVM guest memory.
If a page is unused (checked with pte_unused) we might drop this page
instead of paging it. This can have side-effects on userfaultd, when
the page in question was already migrated:
The next access of that page will trigger a fault and a user fault
instead of faulting in a new and empty zero page. As QEMU does not
expect a userfault on an already migrated page this migration will fail.
The most straightforward solution is to ignore the pte_unused hint if a
userfault context is active for this VMA.

Merge tag 'v4.17-rc2' into docs-next
Merge -rc2 to pick up the changes to
Documentation/core-api/kernel-api.rst that hit mainline via the
networking tree. In their absence, subsequent patches cannot be
applied.
My testing for the latest kernel supporting thp migration showed an
infinite loop in offlining the memory block that is filled with shmem
thps. We can get out of the loop with a signal, but kernel should return
with failure in this case.
What happens in the loop is that scan_movable_pages() repeats returning
the same pfn without any progress. That's because page migration always
fails for shmem thps.
In memory offline code, memory blocks containing unmovable pages should be
prevented from being offline targets by has_unmovable_pages() inside
start_isolate_page_range(). So it's possible to change migratability for
non-anonymous thps to avoid the issue, but it introduces more complex and
thp-specific handling in migration code, so it might not good.
So this patch is suggesting to fix the issue by enabling thp migration for
shmem thp. Both of anon/shmem thp are migratable so we don't need
precheck about the type of thps.

If a processor supports special metadata for a page, for example ADI
version tags on SPARC M7, this metadata must be saved when the page is
swapped out. The same metadata must be restored when the page is swapped
back in. This patch adds two new architecture specific functions -
arch_do_swap_page() to be called when a page is swapped in, and
arch_unmap_one() to be called when a page is being unmapped for swap
out. These architecture hooks allow page metadata to be saved if the
architecture supports it.

Most callers users of free_hot_cold_page claim the pages being released
are cache hot. The exception is the page reclaim paths where it is
likely that enough pages will be freed in the near future that the
per-cpu lists are going to be recycled and the cache hotness information
is lost. As no one really cares about the hotness of pages being
released to the allocator, just ditch the parameter.
The APIs are renamed to indicate that it's no longer about hot/cold
pages. It should also be less confusing as there are subtle differences
between them. __free_pages drops a reference and frees a page when the
refcount reaches zero. free_hot_cold_page handled pages whose refcount
was already zero which is non-obvious from the name. free_unref_page
should be more obvious.
No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal. The
parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless
parameter copied everywhere.

This patch only affects users of mmu_notifier->invalidate_range callback
which are device drivers related to ATS/PASID, CAPI, IOMMUv2, SVM ...
and it is an optimization for those users. Everyone else is unaffected
by it.
When clearing a pte/pmd we are given a choice to notify the event under
the page table lock (notify version of *_clear_flush helpers do call the
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range). But that notification is not necessary
in all cases.
This patch removes almost all cases where it is useless to have a call
to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range before
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end. It also adds documentation in all
those cases explaining why.
Below is a more in depth analysis of why this is fine to do this:
For secondary TLB (non CPU TLB) like IOMMU TLB or device TLB (when
device use thing like ATS/PASID to get the IOMMU to walk the CPU page
table to access a process virtual address space). There is only 2 cases
when you need to notify those secondary TLB while holding page table
lock when clearing a pte/pmd:
A) page backing address is free before mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end
B) a page table entry is updated to point to a new page (COW, write fault
on zero page, __replace_page(), ...)
Case A is obvious you do not want to take the risk for the device to write
to a page that might now be used by something completely different.
Case B is more subtle. For correctness it requires the following sequence
to happen:
- take page table lock
- clear page table entry and notify (pmd/pte_huge_clear_flush_notify())
- set page table entry to point to new page
If clearing the page table entry is not followed by a notify before setting
the new pte/pmd value then you can break memory model like C11 or C++11 for
the device.
Consider the following scenario (device use a feature similar to ATS/
PASID):
Two address addrA and addrB such that |addrA - addrB| >= PAGE_SIZE we
assume they are write protected for COW (other case of B apply too).
[Time N] -----------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {try to write to addrA}
CPU-thread-1 {try to write to addrB}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {read addrA and populate device TLB}
DEV-thread-2 {read addrB and populate device TLB}
[Time N+1] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {COW_step0: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(addrA)}}
CPU-thread-1 {COW_step0: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(addrB)}}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {}
DEV-thread-2 {}
[Time N+2] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {COW_step1: {update page table point to new page for addrA}}
CPU-thread-1 {COW_step1: {update page table point to new page for addrB}}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {}
DEV-thread-2 {}
[Time N+3] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {preempted}
CPU-thread-1 {preempted}
CPU-thread-2 {write to addrA which is a write to new page}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {}
DEV-thread-2 {}
[Time N+3] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {preempted}
CPU-thread-1 {preempted}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {write to addrB which is a write to new page}
DEV-thread-0 {}
DEV-thread-2 {}
[Time N+4] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {preempted}
CPU-thread-1 {COW_step3: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(addrB)}}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {}
DEV-thread-2 {}
[Time N+5] ---------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-thread-0 {preempted}
CPU-thread-1 {}
CPU-thread-2 {}
CPU-thread-3 {}
DEV-thread-0 {read addrA from old page}
DEV-thread-2 {read addrB from new page}
So here because at time N+2 the clear page table entry was not pair with a
notification to invalidate the secondary TLB, the device see the new value
for addrB before seing the new value for addrA. This break total memory
ordering for the device.
When changing a pte to write protect or to point to a new write protected
page with same content (KSM) it is ok to delay invalidate_range callback
to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() outside the page table lock. This
is true even if the thread doing page table update is preempted right
after releasing page table lock before calling
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end
Thanks to Andrea for thinking of a problematic scenario for COW.

Allow interval trees to quickly check for overlaps to avoid unnecesary
tree lookups in interval_tree_iter_first().
As of this patch, all interval tree flavors will require using a
'rb_root_cached' such that we can have the leftmost node easily
available. While most users will make use of this feature, those with
special functions (in addition to the generic insert, delete, search
calls) will avoid using the cached option as they can do funky things
with insertions -- for example, vma_interval_tree_insert_after().

Add thp migration's core code, including conversions between a PMD entry
and a swap entry, setting PMD migration entry, removing PMD migration
entry, and waiting on PMD migration entries.
This patch makes it possible to support thp migration. If you fail to
allocate a destination page as a thp, you just split the source thp as
we do now, and then enter the normal page migration. If you succeed to
allocate destination thp, you enter thp migration. Subsequent patches
actually enable thp migration for each caller of page migration by
allowing its get_new_page() callback to allocate thps.

TTU_MIGRATION is used to convert pte into migration entry until thp
split completes. This behavior conflicts with thp migration added later
patches, so let's introduce a new TTU flag specifically for freezing.
try_to_unmap() is used both for thp split (via freeze_page()) and page
migration (via __unmap_and_move()). In freeze_page(), ttu_flag given
for head page is like below (assuming anonymous thp):
(TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK | TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS | TTU_RMAP_LOCKED | \
TTU_MIGRATION | TTU_SPLIT_HUGE_PMD)
and ttu_flag given for tail pages is:
(TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK | TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS | TTU_RMAP_LOCKED | \
TTU_MIGRATION)
__unmap_and_move() calls try_to_unmap() with ttu_flag:
(TTU_MIGRATION | TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK | TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS)
Now I'm trying to insert a branch for thp migration at the top of
try_to_unmap_one() like below
static int try_to_unmap_one(struct page *page, struct vm_area_struct *vma,
unsigned long address, void *arg)
{
...
/* PMD-mapped THP migration entry */
if (!pvmw.pte && (flags & TTU_MIGRATION)) {
if (!PageAnon(page))
continue;
set_pmd_migration_entry(&pvmw, page);
continue;
}
...
}
so try_to_unmap() for tail pages called by thp split can go into thp
migration code path (which converts *pmd* into migration entry), while
the expectation is to freeze thp (which converts *pte* into migration
entry.)
I detected this failure as a "bad page state" error in a testcase where
split_huge_page() is called from queue_pages_pte_range().

This reverts commit aac2fea94f.
It turns out that that patch was complete and utter garbage, and broke
KVM, resulting in odd oopses.
Quoting Andrea Arcangeli:
"The aforementioned commit has 3 bugs.
1) mmu_notifier_invalidate_range cannot be used in replacement of
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end.
For KVM mmu_notifier_invalidate_range is a noop and rightfully so.
A MMU notifier implementation has to implement either
->invalidate_range method or the invalidate_range_start/end
methods, not both. And if you implement invalidate_range_start/end
like KVM is forced to do, calling mmu_notifier_invalidate_range in
common code is a noop for KVM.
For those MMU notifiers that can get away only implementing
->invalidate_range, the ->invalidate_range is implicitly called by
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(). And only those secondary MMUs
that share the same pagetable with the primary MMU (like AMD
iommuv2) can get away only implementing ->invalidate_range.
So all cases (THP on/off) are broken right now.
To fix this is enough to replace mmu_notifier_invalidate_range with
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start;mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end.
Either that or call multiple mmu_notifier_invalidate_page like
before.
2) address + (1UL << compound_order(page) is buggy, it should be
PAGE_SIZE << compound_order(page), it's bytes not pages, 2M not
512.
3) The whole invalidate_range thing was an attempt to call a single
invalidate while walking multiple 4k ptes that maps the same THP
(after a pmd virtual split without physical compound page THP
split).
It's unclear if the rmap_walk will always provide an address that
is 2M aligned as parameter to try_to_unmap_one, in presence of THP.
I think it needs also an address &= (PAGE_SIZE <<
compound_order(page)) - 1 to be safe"
In general, we should stop making excuses for horrible MMU notifier
users. It's much more important that the core VM is sane and safe, than
letting MMU notifiers sleep.
So if some MMU notifier is sleeping under a spinlock, we need to fix the
notifier, not try to make excuses for that garbage in the core VM.

Nadav Amit identified a theoritical race between page reclaim and
mprotect due to TLB flushes being batched outside of the PTL being held.
He described the race as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
user accesses memory using RW PTE
[PTE now cached in TLB]
try_to_unmap_one()
==> ptep_get_and_clear()
==> set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending()
mprotect(addr, PROT_READ)
==> change_pte_range()
==> [ PTE non-present - no flush ]
user writes using cached RW PTE
...
try_to_unmap_flush()
The same type of race exists for reads when protecting for PROT_NONE and
also exists for operations that can leave an old TLB entry behind such
as munmap, mremap and madvise.
For some operations like mprotect, it's not necessarily a data integrity
issue but it is a correctness issue as there is a window where an
mprotect that limits access still allows access. For munmap, it's
potentially a data integrity issue although the race is massive as an
munmap, mmap and return to userspace must all complete between the
window when reclaim drops the PTL and flushes the TLB. However, it's
theoritically possible so handle this issue by flushing the mm if
reclaim is potentially currently batching TLB flushes.
Other instances where a flush is required for a present pte should be ok
as either the page lock is held preventing parallel reclaim or a page
reference count is elevated preventing a parallel free leading to
corruption. In the case of page_mkclean there isn't an obvious path
that userspace could take advantage of without using the operations that
are guarded by this patch. Other users such as gup as a race with
reclaim looks just at PTEs. huge page variants should be ok as they
don't race with reclaim. mincore only looks at PTEs. userfault also
should be ok as if a parallel reclaim takes place, it will either fault
the page back in or read some of the data before the flush occurs
triggering a fault.
Note that a variant of this patch was acked by Andy Lutomirski but this
was for the x86 parts on top of his PCID work which didn't make the 4.13
merge window as expected. His ack is dropped from this version and
there will be a follow-on patch on top of PCID that will include his
ack.

Introduce a convenient accounting infrastructure that maintains

Then convert over accounting sites for statistics that are already

try_to_unmap_flush() used to open-code a rather x86-centric flush
sequence: local_flush_tlb() + flush_tlb_others(). Rearrange the
code so that the arch (only x86 for now) provides
arch_tlbbatch_add_mm() and arch_tlbbatch_flush() and the core code
calls those functions instead.
I'll want this for x86 because, to enable address space ids, I can't
support the flush_tlb_others() mode used by exising
try_to_unmap_flush() implementation with good performance. I can
support the new API fairly easily, though.
I imagine that other architectures may be in a similar position.
Architectures with strong remote flush primitives (arm64?) may have
even worse performance problems with flush_tlb_others() the way that
try_to_unmap_flush() uses it.

When memory pressure is high, we free MADV_FREE pages. If the pages are
not dirty in pte, the pages could be freed immediately. Otherwise we
can't reclaim them. We put the pages back to anonumous LRU list (by
setting SwapBacked flag) and the pages will be reclaimed in normal
swapout way.
We use normal page reclaim policy. Since MADV_FREE pages are put into
inactive file list, such pages and inactive file pages are reclaimed
according to their age. This is expected, because we don't want to
reclaim too many MADV_FREE pages before used once pages.

Patch series "mm: fix some MADV_FREE issues", v5.
We are trying to use MADV_FREE in jemalloc. Several issues are found.
Without solving the issues, jemalloc can't use the MADV_FREE feature.
- Doesn't support system without swap enabled. Because if swap is off,
we can't or can't efficiently age anonymous pages. And since
MADV_FREE pages are mixed with other anonymous pages, we can't
reclaim MADV_FREE pages. In current implementation, MADV_FREE will
fallback to MADV_DONTNEED without swap enabled. But in our
environment, a lot of machines don't enable swap. This will prevent
our setup using MADV_FREE.
- Increases memory pressure. page reclaim bias file pages reclaim
against anonymous pages. This doesn't make sense for MADV_FREE pages,
because those pages could be freed easily and refilled with very
slight penality. Even page reclaim doesn't bias file pages, there is
still an issue, because MADV_FREE pages and other anonymous pages are
mixed together. To reclaim a MADV_FREE page, we probably must scan a
lot of other anonymous pages, which is inefficient. In our test, we
usually see oom with MADV_FREE enabled and nothing without it.
- Accounting. There are two accounting problems. We don't have a global
accounting. If the system is abnormal, we don't know if it's a
problem from MADV_FREE side. The other problem is RSS accounting.
MADV_FREE pages are accounted as normal anon pages and reclaimed
lazily, so application's RSS becomes bigger. This confuses our
workloads. We have monitoring daemon running and if it finds
applications' RSS becomes abnormal, the daemon will kill the
applications even kernel can reclaim the memory easily.
To address the first the two issues, we can either put MADV_FREE pages
into a separate LRU list (Minchan's previous patches and V1 patches), or
put them into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list (suggested by Johannes). The
patchset use the second idea. The reason is LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list is
tiny nowadays and should be full of used once file pages. So we can
still efficiently reclaim MADV_FREE pages there without interference
with other anon and active file pages. Putting the pages into inactive
file list also has an advantage which allows page reclaim to prioritize
MADV_FREE pages and used once file pages. MADV_FREE pages are put into
the lru list and clear SwapBacked flag, so PageAnon(page) &&
!PageSwapBacked(page) will indicate a MADV_FREE pages. These pages will
directly freed without pageout if they are clean, otherwise normal swap
will reclaim them.
For the third issue, the previous post adds global accounting and a
separate RSS count for MADV_FREE pages. The problem is we never get
accurate accounting for MADV_FREE pages. The pages are mapped to
userspace, can be dirtied without notice from kernel side. To get
accurate accounting, we could write protect the page, but then there is
extra page fault overhead, which people don't want to pay. Jemalloc
guys have concerns about the inaccurate accounting, so this post drops
the accounting patches temporarily. The info exported to
/proc/pid/smaps for MADV_FREE pages are kept, which is the only place we
can get accurate accounting right now.
This patch (of 6):
Johannes pointed out TTU_LZFREE is unnecessary. It's true because we
always have the flag set if we want to do an unmap. For cases we don't
do an unmap, the TTU_LZFREE part of code should never run.
Also the TTU_UNMAP is unnecessary. If no other flags set (for example,
TTU_MIGRATION), an unmap is implied.
The patch includes Johannes's cleanup and dead TTU_ACTION macro removal
code

A group of Linux kernel hackers reported chasing a bug that resulted
from their assumption that SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU provided an existence
guarantee, that is, that no block from such a slab would be reallocated
during an RCU read-side critical section. Of course, that is not the
case. Instead, SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU only prevents freeing of an entire
slab of blocks.
However, there is a phrase for this, namely "type safety". This commit
therefore renames SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU in order
to avoid future instances of this sort of confusion.

Huge pages are accounted as single units in the memcg's "file_mapped"
counter. Account the correct number of base pages, like we do in the
corresponding node counter.

Merge 5-level page table prep from Kirill Shutemov:
"Here's relatively low-risk part of 5-level paging patchset. Merging it
now will make x86 5-level paging enabling in v4.12 easier.
The first patch is actually x86-specific: detect 5-level paging
support. It boils down to single define.
The rest of patchset converts Linux MMU abstraction from 4- to 5-level
paging.
Enabling of new abstraction in most cases requires adding single line
of code in arch-specific code. The rest is taken care by asm-generic/.
Changes to mm/ code are mostly mechanical: add support for new page
table level -- p4d_t -- where we deal with pud_t now.
v2:
- fix build on microblaze (Michal);
- comment for __ARCH_HAS_5LEVEL_HACK in kasan_populate_zero_shadow();
- acks from Michal"
* emailed patches from Kirill A Shutemov <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>:
mm: introduce __p4d_alloc()
mm: convert generic code to 5-level paging
asm-generic: introduce <asm-generic/pgtable-nop4d.h>
arch, mm: convert all architectures to use 5level-fixup.h
asm-generic: introduce __ARCH_USE_5LEVEL_HACK
asm-generic: introduce 5level-fixup.h
x86/cpufeature: Add 5-level paging detection
Convert all non-architecture-specific code to 5-level paging.
It's mostly mechanical adding handling one more page table level in
places where we deal with pud_t.

We are going to split <linux/sched/task.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.
Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/task.h> file that just
maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.
Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

For consistency, it worth converting all page_check_address() to
page_vma_mapped_walk(), so we could drop the former.
