Patch series "Free some vmemmap pages of HugeTLB page", v23.
This patch series will free some vmemmap pages(struct page structures)
associated with each HugeTLB page when preallocated to save memory.
In order to reduce the difficulty of the first version of code review. In
this version, we disable PMD/huge page mapping of vmemmap if this feature
was enabled. This acutely eliminates a bunch of the complex code doing
page table manipulation. When this patch series is solid, we cam add the
code of vmemmap page table manipulation in the future.
The struct page structures (page structs) are used to describe a physical
page frame. By default, there is an one-to-one mapping from a page frame
to it's corresponding page struct.
The HugeTLB pages consist of multiple base page size pages and is
supported by many architectures. See hugetlbpage.rst in the Documentation
directory for more details. On the x86 architecture, HugeTLB pages of
size 2MB and 1GB are currently supported. Since the base page size on x86
is 4KB, a 2MB HugeTLB page consists of 512 base pages and a 1GB HugeTLB
page consists of 4096 base pages. For each base page, there is a
corresponding page struct.
Within the HugeTLB subsystem, only the first 4 page structs are used to
contain unique information about a HugeTLB page. HUGETLB_CGROUP_MIN_ORDER
provides this upper limit. The only 'useful' information in the remaining
page structs is the compound_head field, and this field is the same for
all tail pages.
By removing redundant page structs for HugeTLB pages, memory can returned
to the buddy allocator for other uses.
When the system boot up, every 2M HugeTLB has 512 struct page structs which
size is 8 pages(sizeof(struct page) * 512 / PAGE_SIZE).

The value of page->compound_head is the same for all tail pages. The
first page of page structs (page 0) associated with the HugeTLB page
contains the 4 page structs necessary to describe the HugeTLB. The only
use of the remaining pages of page structs (page 1 to page 7) is to point
to page->compound_head. Therefore, we can remap pages 2 to 7 to page 1.
Only 2 pages of page structs will be used for each HugeTLB page. This
will allow us to free the remaining 6 pages to the buddy allocator.
Here is how things look after remapping.

When a HugeTLB is freed to the buddy system, we should allocate 6 pages
for vmemmap pages and restore the previous mapping relationship.
Apart from 2MB HugeTLB page, we also have 1GB HugeTLB page. It is similar
to the 2MB HugeTLB page. We also can use this approach to free the
vmemmap pages.
In this case, for the 1GB HugeTLB page, we can save 4094 pages. This is a
very substantial gain. On our server, run some SPDK/QEMU applications
which will use 1024GB HugeTLB page. With this feature enabled, we can
save ~16GB (1G hugepage)/~12GB (2MB hugepage) memory.
Because there are vmemmap page tables reconstruction on the
freeing/allocating path, it increases some overhead. Here are some
overhead analysis.
1) Allocating 10240 2MB HugeTLB pages.
a) With this patch series applied:

Summary: The overhead of __free_hugepage is about ~2-3x slower than before.
Although the overhead has increased, the overhead is not significant.
Like Mike said, "However, remember that the majority of use cases create
HugeTLB pages at or shortly after boot time and add them to the pool. So,
additional overhead is at pool creation time. There is no change to
'normal run time' operations of getting a page from or returning a page to
the pool (think page fault/unmap)".
Despite the overhead and in addition to the memory gains from this series.
The following data is obtained by Joao Martins. Very thanks to his
effort.
There's an additional benefit which is page (un)pinners will see an improvement
and Joao presumes because there are fewer memmap pages and thus the tail/head
pages are staying in cache more often.
Out of the box Joao saw (when comparing linux-next against linux-next +
this series) with gup_test and pinning a 16G HugeTLB file (with 1G pages):
get_user_pages(): ~32k -> ~9k
unpin_user_pages(): ~75k -> ~70k
Usually any tight loop fetching compound_head(), or reading tail pages
data (e.g. compound_head) benefit a lot. There's some unpinning
inefficiencies Joao was fixing[2], but with that in added it shows even
more:
unpin_user_pages(): ~27k -> ~3.8k

This patch (of 9):
Move bootmem info registration common API to individual bootmem_info.c.
And we will use {get,put}_page_bootmem() to initialize the page for the
vmemmap pages or free the vmemmap pages to buddy in the later patch. So
move them out of CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE. This is just code movement
without any functional change.

The Frequency Invariance Engine (FIE) is providing a frequency scaling
correction factor that helps achieve more accurate load-tracking.
Normally, this scaling factor can be obtained directly with the help of
the cpufreq drivers as they know the exact frequency the hardware is
running at. But that isn't the case for CPPC cpufreq driver.
Another way of obtaining that is using the arch specific counter
support, which is already present in kernel, but that hardware is
optional for platforms.
This patch updates the CPPC driver to register itself with the topology
core to provide its own implementation (cppc_scale_freq_tick()) of
topology_scale_freq_tick() which gets called by the scheduler on every
tick. Note that the arch specific counters have higher priority than
CPPC counters, if available, though the CPPC driver doesn't need to have
any special handling for that.
On an invocation of cppc_scale_freq_tick(), we schedule an irq work
(since we reach here from hard-irq context), which then schedules a
normal work item and cppc_scale_freq_workfn() updates the per_cpu
arch_freq_scale variable based on the counter updates since the last
tick.
To allow platforms to disable this CPPC counter-based frequency
invariance support, this is all done under CONFIG_ACPI_CPPC_CPUFREQ_FIE,
which is enabled by default.
This also exports sched_setattr_nocheck() as the CPPC driver can be
built as a module.

Currently topology_scale_freq_tick() (which gets called from
scheduler_tick()) may end up using a pointer to "struct
scale_freq_data", which was previously cleared by
topology_clear_scale_freq_source(), as there is no protection in place
here. The users of topology_clear_scale_freq_source() though needs a
guarantee that the previously cleared scale_freq_data isn't used
anymore, so they can free the related resources.
Since topology_scale_freq_tick() is called from scheduler tick, we don't
want to add locking in there. Use the RCU update mechanism instead
(which is already used by the scheduler's utilization update path) to
guarantee race free updates here.
synchronize_rcu() makes sure that all RCU critical sections that started
before it is called, will finish before it returns. And so the callers
of topology_clear_scale_freq_source() don't need to worry about their
callback getting called anymore.

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
- Various DM persistent-data library improvements and fixes that
benefit both the DM thinp and cache targets.
- A few small DM kcopyd efficiency improvements.
- Significant zoned related block core, DM core and DM zoned target

required to properly fix DM crypt's zoned support).
- Various DM writecache target changes that improve efficiency. Adds an
optional "metadata_only" feature that only promotes bios flagged with
REQ_META. But the most significant improvement is writecache's
ability to pause writeback, for a confiurable time, if/when the
working set is larger than the cache (and the cache is full) -- this
ensures performance is no worse than the slower origin device.

We don't have an nvme status to report if the driver's .queue_rq()
returns an error without dispatching the requested nvme command. Check
the return value from blk_execute_rq() for all passthrough commands so
the caller may know their command was not successful.
If the command is from the target passthrough interface and fails to
dispatch, synthesize the response back to the host as a internal target
error.

With the legacy IDE driver gone drivers now use either REQ_OP_DRV_*
or REQ_OP_SCSI_*, so unify the two concepts of passthrough requests
into a single one.

Problem:
On reconfigure of device, there is no way to defend if the backend
storage is matching with the initial backend storage.
Say, if an initial connect request for backend "pool1/image1" got
mapped to /dev/nbd0 and the userspace process is terminated. A next
reconfigure request within NBD_ATTR_DEAD_CONN_TIMEOUT is allowed to
use /dev/nbd0 for a different backend "pool1/image2"
For example, an operation like below could be dangerous:
$ sudo rbd-nbd map --try-netlink rbd-pool/ext4-image
/dev/nbd0
$ sudo blkid /dev/nbd0
/dev/nbd0: UUID="bfc444b4-64b1-418f-8b36-6e0d170cfc04" TYPE="ext4"
$ sudo pkill -9 rbd-nbd
$ sudo rbd-nbd attach --try-netlink --device /dev/nbd0 rbd-pool/xfs-image
/dev/nbd0
$ sudo blkid /dev/nbd0
/dev/nbd0: UUID="d29bf343-6570-4069-a9ea-2fa156ced908" TYPE="xfs"
Solution:
Provide a way for userspace processes to keep some metadata to identify
between the device and the backend, so that when a reconfigure request is
made, we can compare and avoid such dangerous operations.
With this solution, as part of the initial connect request, backend
path can be stored in the sysfs per device config, so that on a reconfigure
request it's easy to check if the backend path matches with the initial
connect backend path.
Please note, ioctl interface to nbd will not have these changes, as there
won't be any reconfigure.

With the legacy IDE driver long deprecated, and modern userspace being
much more flexible about dev_t assignments there is no reason to fake
a registration as the legacy IDE driver in ubd. This registeration
is a little problematic as it registers the same request_queue for
multiple gendisks, so just remove it.

We currently spin in iopoll() when requests to be iopolled are for
same file(device), while one device may have multiple hardware queues.
given an example:
hw_queue_0 | hw_queue_1
req(30us) req(10us)
If we first spin on iopolling for the hw_queue_0. the avg latency would
be (30us + 30us) / 2 = 30us. While if we do round robin, the avg
latency would be (30us + 10us) / 2 = 20us since we reap the request in
hw_queue_1 in time. So it's better to do spinning only when requests
are in same hardware queue.

Most of requests are allocated from an internal cache, so it's waste of
time fully initialising them every time. Instead, let's pre-init some of
the fields we can during initial allocation (e.g. kmalloc(), see
io_alloc_req()) and keep them valid on request recycling. There are four
of them in this patch:
->ctx is always stays the same
->link is NULL on free, it's an invariant
->result is not even needed to init, just a precaution
->async_data we now clean in io_dismantle_req() as it's likely to
never be allocated.
