We can choose to copy three contiguous tail pages' content to the first three pages instead of copying one by one to simplify the code and reduce code size from 229 bytes to 63 bytes. The BUILD_BUG_ON() aims to avoid out-of-bounds accesses.

For reserved pages, HWPoison flag will be set without increasing the page refcnt. So we shouldn't even try to unpoison these pages and thus decrease the page refcnt unexpectly. Add a PageReserved() check to filter this case out and remove the below unneeded zero page (zero page is reserved) check.

If try_to_unmap() fails, the hwpoisoned page still resides in the address space of some processes. We should kill these processes or the hwpoisoned page might be consumed later. collect_procs() is always called to collect relevant processes now so they can be killed later if unmap fails.

The below is one path where race between page_ext and offline of the respective memory blocks will cause use-after-free on the access of page_ext structure. process1 process2 --------- --------- a)doing /proc/page_owner doing memory offline through offline_pages. b) PageBuddy check is failed thus proceed to get the page_owner information through page_ext access. page_ext = lookup_page_ext(page); migrate_pages(); ................. Since all pages are successfully migrated as part of the offline operation,send MEM_OFFLINE notification where for page_ext it calls: offline_page_ext()--> __free_page_ext()--> free_page_ext()--> vfree(ms->page_ext) mem_section->page_ext = NULL c) Check for the PAGE_EXT flags in the page_ext->flags access results into the use-after-free (leading to the translation faults). As mentioned above, there is really no synchronization between page_ext access and its freeing in the memory_offline. The memory offline steps(roughly) on a memory block is as below: 1) Isolate all the pages 2) while(1) try free the pages to buddy.(->free_list[MIGRATE_ISOLATE]) 3) delete the pages from this buddy list. 4) Then free page_ext.(Note: The struct page is still alive as it is freed only during hot remove of the memory which frees the memmap, which steps the user might not perform). This design leads to the state where struct page is alive but the struct page_ext is freed, where the later is ideally part of the former which just representing the page_flags (check [3] for why this design is chosen). The abovementioned race is just one example __but the problem persists in the other paths too involving page_ext->flags access(eg: page_is_idle())__. Fix all the paths where offline races with page_ext access by maintaining synchronization with rcu lock and is achieved in 3 steps: 1) Invalidate all the page_ext's of the sections of a memory block by storing a flag in the LSB of mem_section->page_ext. 2) Wait until all the existing readers to finish working with the ->page_ext's with synchronize_rcu(). Any parallel process that starts after this call will not get page_ext, through lookup_page_ext(), for the block parallel offline operation is being performed. 3) Now safely free all sections ->page_ext's of the block on which offline operation is being performed. Note: If synchronize_rcu() takes time then optimizations can be done in this path through call_rcu()[2].

If the pagetables are shared, we shouldn't copy or take references. Since src could have unshared and dst shares with another vma, huge_pte_none() is thus used to determine whether dst_pte is shared. But this check isn't reliable. A shared pte could have pte none in pagetable in fact. The page count of ptep page should be checked here in order to reliably determine whether pte is shared.

The promotion hot threshold is workload and system configuration dependent. So in this patch, a method to adjust the hot threshold automatically is implemented. The basic idea is to control the number of the candidate promotion pages to match the promotion rate limit. If the hint page fault latency of a page is less than the hot threshold, we will try to promote the page, and the page is called the candidate promotion page. If the number of the candidate promotion pages in the statistics interval is much more than the promotion rate limit, the hot threshold will be decreased to reduce the number of the candidate promotion pages. Otherwise, the hot threshold will be increased to increase the number of the candidate promotion pages. To make the above method works, in each statistics interval, the total number of the pages to check (on which the hint page faults occur) and the hot/cold distribution need to be stable. Because the page tables are scanned linearly in NUMA balancing, but the hot/cold distribution isn't uniform along the address usually, the statistics interval should be larger than the NUMA balancing scan period. So in the patch, the max scan period is used as statistics interval and it works well in our tests.

In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote hot/cold pages between the fast and cold memory nodes. A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow memory bandwidth contention. A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patch as the page promotion rate limit mechanism. The number of the candidate pages to be promoted to the fast memory node via NUMA balancing is counted, if the count exceeds the limit specified by the users, the NUMA balancing promotion will be stopped until the next second. A new sysctl knob kernel.numa_balancing_promote_rate_limit_MBps is added for the users to specify the limit.

Patch series "memory tiering: hot page selection", v4. To optimize page placement in a memory tiering system with NUMA balancing, the hot pages in the slow memory nodes need to be identified. Essentially, the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly recently accessed (MRU) pages to promote. But this isn't a perfect algorithm to identify the hot pages. Because the pages with quite low access frequency may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page table scanning period could be quite long (e.g. 60 seconds). So in this patchset, we implement a new hot page identification algorithm based on the latency between NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page fault. Which is a kind of mostly frequently accessed (MFU) algorithm. In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote hot/cold pages between the fast and cold memory nodes. A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow memory bandwidth contention. A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patchset as the page promotion rate limit mechanism. The promotion hot threshold is workload and system configuration dependent. So in this patchset, a method to adjust the hot threshold automatically is implemented. The basic idea is to control the number of the candidate promotion pages to match the promotion rate limit. We used the pmbench memory accessing benchmark tested the patchset on a 2-socket server system with DRAM and PMEM installed. The test results are as follows, pmbench score promote rate (accesses/s) MB/s ------------- ------------ base 146887704.1 725.6 hot selection 165695601.2 544.0 rate limit 162814569.8 165.2 auto adjustment 170495294.0 136.9 From the results above, With hot page selection patch [1/3], the pmbench score increases about 12.8%, and promote rate (overhead) decreases about 25.0%, compared with base kernel. With rate limit patch [2/3], pmbench score decreases about 1.7%, and promote rate decreases about 69.6%, compared with hot page selection patch. With threshold auto adjustment patch [3/3], pmbench score increases about 4.7%, and promote rate decrease about 17.1%, compared with rate limit patch. Baolin helped to test the patchset with MySQL on a machine which contains 1 DRAM node (30G) and 1 PMEM node (126G). sysbench /usr/share/sysbench/oltp_read_write.lua \ ...... --tables=200 \ --table-size=1000000 \ --report-interval=10 \ --threads=16 \ --time=120 The tps can be improved about 5%. This patch (of 3): To optimize page placement in a memory tiering system with NUMA balancing, the hot pages in the slow memory node need to be identified. Essentially, the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly recently accessed (MRU) pages to promote. But this isn't a perfect algorithm to identify the hot pages. Because the pages with quite low access frequency may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page table scanning period could be quite long (e.g. 60 seconds). The most frequently accessed (MFU) algorithm is better. So, in this patch we implemented a better hot page selection algorithm. Which is based on NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page fault as follows, - When the page tables of the processes are scanned to change PTE/PMD to be PROT_NONE, the current time is recorded in struct page as scan time. - When the page is accessed, hint page fault will occur. The scan time is gotten from the struct page. And The hint page fault latency is defined as hint page fault time - scan time The shorter the hint page fault latency of a page is, the higher the probability of their access frequency to be higher. So the hint page fault latency is a better estimation of the page hot/cold. It's hard to find some extra space in struct page to hold the scan time. Fortunately, we can reuse some bits used by the original NUMA balancing. NUMA balancing uses some bits in struct page to store the page accessing CPU and PID (referring to page_cpupid_xchg_last()). Which is used by the multi-stage node selection algorithm to avoid to migrate pages shared accessed by the NUMA nodes back and forth. But for pages in the slow memory node, even if they are shared accessed by multiple NUMA nodes, as long as the pages are hot, they need to be promoted to the fast memory node. So the accessing CPU and PID information are unnecessary for the slow memory pages. We can reuse these bits in struct page to record the scan time. For the fast memory pages, these bits are used as before. For the hot threshold, the default value is 1 second, which works well in our performance test. All pages with hint page fault latency < hot threshold will be considered hot. It's hard for users to determine the hot threshold. So we don't provide a kernel ABI to set it, just provide a debugfs interface for advanced users to experiment. We will continue to work on a hot threshold automatic adjustment mechanism. The downside of the above method is that the response time to the workload hot spot changing may be much longer. For example, - A previous cold memory area becomes hot - The hint page fault will be triggered. But the hint page fault latency isn't shorter than the hot threshold. So the pages will not be promoted. - When the memory area is scanned again, maybe after a scan period, the hint page fault latency measured will be shorter than the hot threshold and the pages will be promoted. To mitigate this, if there are enough free space in the fast memory node, the hot threshold will not be used, all pages will be promoted upon the hint page fault for fast response. Thanks Zhong Jiang reported and tested the fix for a bug when disabling memory tiering mode dynamically.

When pinning pages with FOLL_LONGTERM check_and_migrate_movable_pages() is called to migrate pages out of zones which should not contain any longterm pinned pages. When migration succeeds all pages will have been unpinned so pinning needs to be retried. This is indicated by returning zero. When all pages are in the correct zone the number of pinned pages is returned. However migration can also fail, in which case pages are unpinned and -ENOMEM is returned. However if the failure was due to not being unable to isolate a page zero is returned. This leads to indefinite looping in __gup_longterm_locked(). Fix this by simplifying the return codes such that zero indicates all pages were successfully pinned in the correct zone while errors indicate either pages were migrated and pinning should be retried or that migration has failed and therefore the pinning operation should fail.

By default kfence allocation can happen for any slab object, whose size is up to PAGE_SIZE, as long as that allocation is the first allocation after expiration of kfence sample interval. But in certain debugging scenarios we may be interested in debugging corruptions involving some specific slub objects like dentry or ext4_* etc. In such cases limiting kfence for allocations involving only specific slub objects will increase the probablity of catching the issue since kfence pool will not be consumed by other slab objects. This patch introduces a sysfs interface '/sys/kernel/slab/<name>/skip_kfence' to disable kfence for specific slabs. Having the interface work in this way does not impact current/default behavior of kfence and allows us to use kfence for specific slabs (when needed) as well. The decision to skip/use kfence is taken depending on whether kmem_cache.flags has (newly introduced) SLAB_SKIP_KFENCE flag set or not.

Not all huge page APIs support FOLL_GET option, so move_pages() syscall will fail to get the page node information for some huge pages. Like x86 on linux 5.19 with 1GB huge page API follow_huge_pud(), it will return NULL page for FOLL_GET when calling move_pages() syscall with the NULL 'nodes' parameter, the 'status' parameter has '-2' error in array. Note: follow_huge_pud() now supports FOLL_GET in linux 6.0. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220714042420.1847125-3-naoya.horiguchi@linux.dev But these huge page APIs don't support FOLL_GET: 1. follow_huge_pud() in arch/s390/mm/hugetlbpage.c 2. follow_huge_addr() in arch/ia64/mm/hugetlbpage.c It will cause WARN_ON_ONCE for FOLL_GET. 3. follow_huge_pgd() in mm/hugetlb.c This is an temporary solution to mitigate the side effect of the race condition fix by calling follow_page() with FOLL_GET set for huge pages. After supporting follow huge page by FOLL_GET is done, this fix can be reverted safely.

The -f option is to filter out the information of blocks whose memory has not been released, I noticed some blocks should not be filtered out. Commit 9cc7e96a ("mm/page_owner: record timestamp and pid") records the allocation timestamp (ts_nsec) of all pages. Commit 866b4852 ("mm/page_owner: record the timestamp of all pages during free") records the free timestamp (free_ts_nsec) of all pages. When the page is allocated for the first time, the initial value of free_ts_nsec is 0, and the corresponding time will be obtained when the page is released. But during reallocation the free_ts_nsec will not reset to 0 again. In particular, when page migration occurs, these two timestamps will be the same. Now page_owner_sort removes all text blocks whose free_ts_nsec is not 0 when using -f option. However, this way can only select pages allocated for the first time. If a freed page is reallocated, free_ts_nsec will be less than ts_nsec; if page migration occurs, the two timestamps will be equal. These cases should be considered as pages are not released. So I fix the function is_need() to keep text blocks that meet the above two conditions when using -f option.
