Compaction deferring logic is heavy hammer that block the way to the compaction. It doesn't consider overall system state, so it could prevent user from doing compaction falsely. In other words, even if system has enough range of memory to compact, compaction would be skipped due to compaction deferring logic. This patch add new tracepoint to understand work of deferring logic. This will also help to check compaction success and fail. Signed-off-by:

It'd be useful to know current range where compaction work for detailed analysis. With it, we can know pageblock where we actually scan and isolate, and, how much pages we try in that pageblock and can guess why it doesn't become freepage with pageblock order roughly. Signed-off-by:

We now have tracepoint for begin event of compaction and it prints start position of both scanners, but, tracepoint for end event of compaction doesn't print finish position of both scanners. It'd be also useful to know finish position of both scanners so this patch add it. It will help to find odd behavior or problem on compaction internal logic. And mode is added to both begin/end tracepoint output, since according to mode, compaction behavior is quite different. And lastly, status format is changed to string rather than status number for readability. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix sparse warning] Signed-off-by:

To check the range that compaction is working, tracepoint print start/end pfn of zone and start pfn of both scanner with decimal format. Since we manage all pages in order of 2 and it is well represented by hexadecimal, this patch change the tracepoint format from decimal to hexadecimal. This would improve readability. For example, it makes us easily notice whether current scanner try to compact previously attempted pageblock or not. Signed-off-by:

The problem is that we check nr_ptes/nr_pmds in exit_mmap() which happens *before* pgd_free(). And if an arch does pte/pmd allocation in pgd_alloc() and frees them in pgd_free() we see offset in counters by the time of the checks. We tried to workaround this by offsetting expected counter value according to FIRST_USER_ADDRESS for both nr_pte and nr_pmd in exit_mmap(). But it doesn't work in some cases: 1. ARM with LPAE enabled also has non-zero USER_PGTABLES_CEILING, but upper addresses occupied with huge pmd entries, so the trick with offsetting expected counter value will get really ugly: we will have to apply it nr_pmds, but not nr_ptes. 2. Metag has non-zero FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, but doesn't do allocation pte/pmd page tables allocation in pgd_alloc(), just setup a pgd entry which is allocated at boot and shared accross all processes. The proposal is to move the check to check_mm() which happens *after* pgd_free() and do proper accounting during pgd_alloc() and pgd_free() which would bring counters to zero if nothing leaked.

Dave noticed that unprivileged process can allocate significant amount of memory -- >500 MiB on x86_64 -- and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and memory cgroup. The trick is to allocate a lot of PMD page tables. Linux kernel doesn't account PMD tables to the process, only PTE. The use-cases below use few tricks to allocate a lot of PMD page tables while keeping VmRSS and VmPTE low. oom_score for the process will be 0. #include <errno.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/prctl.h> #define PUD_SIZE (1UL << 30) #define PMD_SIZE (1UL << 21) #define NR_PUD 130000 int main(void) { char *addr = NULL; unsigned long i; prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE); for (i = 0; i < NR_PUD ; i++) { addr = mmap(addr + PUD_SIZE, PUD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0); if (addr == MAP_FAILED) { perror("mmap"); break; } *addr = 'x'; munmap(addr, PMD_SIZE); mmap(addr, PMD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, -1, 0); if (addr == MAP_FAILED) perror("re-mmap"), exit(1); } printf("PID %d consumed %lu KiB in PMD page tables\n", getpid(), i * 4096 >> 10); return pause(); } The patch addresses the issue by account PMD tables to the process the same way we account PTE. The main place where PMD tables is accounted is __pmd_alloc() and free_pmd_range(). But there're few corner cases: - HugeTLB can share PMD page tables. The patch handles by accounting the table to all processes who share it. - x86 PAE pre-allocates few PMD tables on fork. - Architectures with FIRST_USER_ADDRESS > 0. We need to adjust sanity check on exit(2). Accounting only happens on configuration where PMD page table's level is present (PMD is not folded). As with nr_ptes we use per-mm counter. The counter value is used to calculate baseline for badness score by oom-killer. Signed-off-by:Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Reviewed-by:

Commit 5695be14 ("OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspend") has left a race window when OOM killer manages to note_oom_kill after freeze_processes checks the counter. The race window is quite small and really unlikely and partial solution deemed sufficient at the time of submission. Tejun wasn't happy about this partial solution though and insisted on a full solution. That requires the full OOM and freezer's task freezing exclusion, though. This is done by this patch which introduces oom_sem RW lock and turns oom_killer_disable() into a full OOM barrier. oom_killer_disabled check is moved from the allocation path to the OOM level and we take oom_sem for reading for both the check and the whole OOM invocation. oom_killer_disable() takes oom_sem for writing so it waits for all currently running OOM killer invocations. Then it disable all the further OOMs by setting oom_killer_disabled and checks for any oom victims. Victims are counted via mark_tsk_oom_victim resp. unmark_oom_victim. The last victim wakes up all waiters enqueued by oom_killer_disable(). Therefore this function acts as the full OOM barrier. The page fault path is covered now as well although it was assumed to be safe before. As per Tejun, "We used to have freezing points deep in file system code which may be reacheable from page fault." so it would be better and more robust to not rely on freezing points here. Same applies to the memcg OOM killer. out_of_memory tells the caller whether the OOM was allowed to trigger and the callers are supposed to handle the situation. The page allocation path simply fails the allocation same as before. The page fault path will retry the fault (more on that later) and Sysrq OOM trigger will simply complain to the log. Normally there wouldn't be any unfrozen user tasks after try_to_freeze_tasks so the function will not block. But if there was an OOM killer racing with try_to_freeze_tasks and the OOM victim didn't finish yet then we have to wait for it. This should complete in a finite time, though, because - the victim cannot loop in the page fault handler (it would die on the way out from the exception) - it cannot loop in the page allocator because all the further allocation would fail and __GFP_NOFAIL allocations are not acceptable at this stage - it shouldn't be blocked on any locks held by frozen tasks (try_to_freeze expects lockless context) and kernel threads and work queues are not frozen yet Signed-off-by:

oom_kill_process only sets TIF_MEMDIE flag and sends a signal to the victim. This is basically noop when the task is frozen though because the task sleeps in the uninterruptible sleep. The victim is eventually thawed later when oom_scan_process_thread meets the task again in a later OOM invocation so the OOM killer doesn't live lock. But this is less than optimal. Let's add __thaw_task into mark_tsk_oom_victim after we set TIF_MEMDIE to the victim. We are not checking whether the task is frozen because that would be racy and __thaw_task does that already. oom_scan_process_thread doesn't need to care about freezer anymore as TIF_MEMDIE and freezer are excluded completely now.

This patchset addresses a race which was described in the changelog for 5695be14 ("OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspend"): : PM freezer relies on having all tasks frozen by the time devices are : getting frozen so that no task will touch them while they are getting : frozen. But OOM killer is allowed to kill an already frozen task in order : to handle OOM situtation. In order to protect from late wake ups OOM : killer is disabled after all tasks are frozen. This, however, still keeps : a window open when a killed task didn't manage to die by the time : freeze_processes finishes. The original patch hasn't closed the race window completely because that would require a more complex solution as it can be seen by this patchset. The primary motivation was to close the race condition between OOM killer and PM freezer _completely_. As Tejun pointed out, even though the race condition is unlikely the harder it would be to debug weird bugs deep in the PM freezer when the debugging options are reduced considerably. I can only speculate what might happen when a task is still runnable unexpectedly. On a plus side and as a side effect the oom enable/disable has a better (full barrier) semantic without polluting hot paths. I have tested the series in KVM with 100M RAM: - many small tasks (20M anon mmap) which are triggering OOM continually - s2ram which resumes automatically is triggered in a loop echo processors > /sys/power/pm_test while true do echo mem > /sys/power/state sleep 1s done - simple module which allocates and frees 20M in 8K chunks. If it sees freezing(current) then it tries another round of allocation before calling try_to_freeze - debugging messages of PM stages and OOM killer enable/disable/fail added and unmark_oom_victim is delayed by 1s after it clears TIF_MEMDIE and before it wakes up waiters. - rebased on top of the current mmotm which means some necessary updates in mm/oom_kill.c. mark_tsk_oom_victim is now called under task_lock but I think this should be OK because __thaw_task shouldn't interfere with any locking down wake_up_process. Oleg? As expected there are no OOM killed tasks after oom is disabled and allocations requested by the kernel thread are failing after all the tasks are frozen and OOM disabled. I wasn't able to catch a race where oom_killer_disable would really have to wait but I kinda expected the race is really unlikely.

The main patch is the last one and I would appreciate acks from Tejun and Rafael. I think the OOM part should be OK (except for __thaw_task vs. task_lock where a look from Oleg would appreciated) but I am not so sure I haven't screwed anything in the freezer code. I have found several surprises there. This patch (of 5): This patch is just a preparatory and it doesn't introduce any functional change. Note: I am utterly unhappy about lowmemory killer abusing TIF_MEMDIE just to wait for the oom victim and to prevent from new killing. This is just a side effect of the flag. The primary meaning is to give the oom victim access to the memory reserves and that shouldn't be necessary here. Signed-off-by:

Introduce the basic control files to account, partition, and limit memory using cgroups in default hierarchy mode. This interface versioning allows us to address fundamental design issues in the existing memory cgroup interface, further explained below. The old interface will be maintained indefinitely, but a clearer model and improved workload performance should encourage existing users to switch over to the new one eventually. The control files are thus: - memory.current shows the current consumption of the cgroup and its descendants, in bytes. - memory.low configures the lower end of the cgroup's expected memory consumption range. The kernel considers memory below that boundary to be a reserve - the minimum that the workload needs in order to make forward progress - and generally avoids reclaiming it, unless there is an imminent risk of entering an OOM situation. - memory.high configures the upper end of the cgroup's expected memory consumption range. A cgroup whose consumption grows beyond this threshold is forced into direct reclaim, to work off the excess and to throttle new allocations heavily, but is generally allowed to continue and the OOM killer is not invoked. - memory.max configures the hard maximum amount of memory that the cgroup is allowed to consume before the OOM killer is invoked. - memory.events shows event counters that indicate how often the cgroup was reclaimed while below memory.low, how often it was forced to reclaim excess beyond memory.high, how often it hit memory.max, and how often it entered OOM due to memory.max. This allows users to identify configuration problems when observing a degradation in workload performance. An overcommitted system will have an increased rate of low boundary breaches, whereas increased rates of high limit breaches, maximum hits, or even OOM situations will indicate internally overcommitted cgroups. For existing users of memory cgroups, the following deviations from the current interface are worth pointing out and explaining: - The original lower boundary, the soft limit, is defined as a limit that is per default unset. As a result, the set of cgroups that global reclaim prefers is opt-in, rather than opt-out. The costs for optimizing these mostly negative lookups are so high that the implementation, despite its enormous size, does not even provide the basic desirable behavior. First off, the soft limit has no hierarchical meaning. All configured groups are organized in a global rbtree and treated like equal peers, regardless where they are located in the hierarchy. This makes subtree delegation impossible. Second, the soft limit reclaim pass is so aggressive that it not just introduces high allocation latencies into the system, but also impacts system performance due to overreclaim, to the point where the feature becomes self-defeating. The memory.low boundary on the other hand is a top-down allocated reserve. A cgroup enjoys reclaim protection when it and all its ancestors are below their low boundaries, which makes delegation of subtrees possible. Secondly, new cgroups have no reserve per default and in the common case most cgroups are eligible for the preferred reclaim pass. This allows the new low boundary to be efficiently implemented with just a minor addition to the generic reclaim code, without the need for out-of-band data structures and reclaim passes. Because the generic reclaim code considers all cgroups except for the ones running low in the preferred first reclaim pass, overreclaim of individual groups is eliminated as well, resulting in much better overall workload performance. - The original high boundary, the hard limit, is defined as a strict limit that can not budge, even if the OOM killer has to be called. But this generally goes against the goal of making the most out of the available memory. The memory consumption of workloads varies during runtime, and that requires users to overcommit. But doing that with a strict upper limit requires either a fairly accurate prediction of the working set size or adding slack to the limit. Since working set size estimation is hard and error prone, and getting it wrong results in OOM kills, most users tend to err on the side of a looser limit and end up wasting precious resources. The memory.high boundary on the other hand can be set much more conservatively. When hit, it throttles allocations by forcing them into direct reclaim to work off the excess, but it never invokes the OOM killer. As a result, a high boundary that is chosen too aggressively will not terminate the processes, but instead it will lead to gradual performance degradation. The user can monitor this and make corrections until the minimal memory footprint that still gives acceptable performance is found. In extreme cases, with many concurrent allocations and a complete breakdown of reclaim progress within the group, the high boundary can be exceeded. But even then it's mostly better to satisfy the allocation from the slack available in other groups or the rest of the system than killing the group. Otherwise, memory.max is there to limit this type of spillover and ultimately contain buggy or even malicious applications. - The original control file names are unwieldy and inconsistent in many different ways. For example, the upper boundary hit count is exported in the memory.failcnt file, but an OOM event count has to be manually counted by listening to memory.oom_control events, and lower boundary / soft limit events have to be counted by first setting a threshold for that value and then counting those events. Also, usage and limit files encode their units in the filename. That makes the filenames very long, even though this is not information that a user needs to be reminded of every time they type out those names. To address these naming issues, as well as to signal clearly that the new interface carries a new configuration model, the naming conventions in it necessarily differ from the old interface. - The original limit files indicate the state of an unset limit with a very high number, and a configured limit can be unset by echoing -1 into those files. But that very high number is implementation and architecture dependent and not very descriptive. And while -1 can be understood as an underflow into the highest possible value, -2 or -10M etc. do not work, so it's not inconsistent. memory.low, memory.high, and memory.max will use the string "infinity" to indicate and set the highest possible value.

Since commit b2052564 ("mm: memcontrol: continue cache reclaim from offlined groups") pages charged to a memory cgroup are not reparented when the cgroup is removed. Instead, they are supposed to be reclaimed in a regular way, along with pages accounted to online memory cgroups. However, an lruvec of an offline memory cgroup will sooner or later get so small that it will be scanned only at low scan priorities (see get_scan_count()). Therefore, if there are enough reclaimable pages in big lruvecs, pages accounted to offline memory cgroups will never be scanned at all, wasting memory. Fix this by unconditionally forcing scanning dead lruvecs from kswapd. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build] Signed-off-by:

next_zones_zonelist() returns a zoneref pointer, as well as a zone pointer via extra parameter. Since the latter can be trivially obtained by dereferencing the former, the overhead of the extra parameter is unjustified. This patch thus removes the zone parameter from next_zones_zonelist(). Both callers happen to be in the same header file, so it's simple to add the zoneref dereference inline.

Expand the usage of the struct alloc_context introduced in the previous patch also for calling try_to_compact_pages(), to reduce the number of its parameters. Since the function is in different compilation unit, we need to move alloc_context definition in the shared mm/internal.h header. With this change we get simpler code and small savings of code size and stack usage: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-27 (-27) function old new delta __alloc_pages_direct_compact 283 256 -27 add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-13 (-13) function old new delta try_to_compact_pages 582 569 -13 Stack usage of __alloc_pages_direct_compact goes from 24 to none (per scripts/checkstack.pl).

Introduce struct alloc_context to accumulate the numerous parameters passed between the alloc_pages* family of functions and get_page_from_freelist(). This excludes gfp_flags and alloc_info, which mutate too much along the way, and allocation order, which is conceptually different. The result is shorter function signatures, as well as overal code size and stack usage reductions. bloat-o-meter: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 1/2 up/down: 127/-310 (-183) function old new delta get_page_from_freelist 2525 2652 +127 __alloc_pages_direct_compact 329 283 -46 __alloc_pages_nodemask 2564 2300 -264 checkstack.pl: function old new __alloc_pages_nodemask 248 200 get_page_from_freelist 168 184 __alloc_pages_direct_compact 40 24 Signed-off-by:

The possibility of replacing the numerous parameters of alloc_pages* functions with a single structure has been discussed when Minchan proposed to expand the x86 kernel stack [1]. This series implements the change, along with few more cleanups/microoptimizations. The series is based on next-20150108 and I used gcc 4.8.3 20140627 on openSUSE 13.2 for compiling. Config includess NUMA and COMPACTION. The core change is the introduction of a new struct alloc_context, which looks like this: struct alloc_context { struct zonelist *zonelist; nodemask_t *nodemask; struct zone *preferred_zone; int classzone_idx; int migratetype; enum zone_type high_zoneidx; }; All the contents is mostly constant, except that __alloc_pages_slowpath() changes preferred_zone, classzone_idx and potentially zonelist. But that's not a problem in case control returns to retry_cpuset: in __alloc_pages_nodemask(), those will be reset to initial values again (although it's a bit subtle). On the other hand, gfp_flags and alloc_info mutate so much that it doesn't make sense to put them into alloc_context. Still, the result is one parameter instead of up to 7. This is all in Patch 2. Patch 3 is a step to expand alloc_context usage out of page_alloc.c itself. The function try_to_compact_pages() can also much benefit from the parameter reduction, but it means the struct definition has to be moved to a shared header. Patch 1 should IMHO be included even if the rest is deemed not useful enough. It improves maintainability and also has some code/stack reduction. Patch 4 is OTOH a tiny optimization. Overall bloat-o-meter results: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/4 up/down: 0/-460 (-460) function old new delta nr_free_zone_pages 129 115 -14 __alloc_pages_direct_compact 329 256 -73 get_page_from_freelist 2670 2576 -94 __alloc_pages_nodemask 2564 2285 -279 try_to_compact_pages 582 579 -3 Overall stack sizes per ./scripts/checkstack.pl: old new delta get_page_from_freelist: 184 184 0 __alloc_pages_nodemask 248 200 -48 __alloc_pages_direct_c 40 - -40 try_to_compact_pages 72 72 0 -88 [1] http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=140142462528257&w=2 This patch (of 4): prep_new_page() sets almost everything in the struct page of the page being allocated, except page->pfmemalloc. This is not obvious and has at least once led to a bug where page->pfmemalloc was forgotten to be set correctly, see commit 8fb74b9f ("mm: compaction: partially revert capture of suitable high-order page"). This patch moves the pfmemalloc setting to prep_new_page(), which means it needs to gain alloc_flags parameter. The call to prep_new_page is moved from buffered_rmqueue() to get_page_from_freelist(), which also leads to simpler code. An obsolete comment for buffered_rmqueue() is replaced. In addition to better maintainability there is a small reduction of code and stack usage for get_page_from_freelist(), which inlines the other functions involved. add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-145 (-145) function old new delta get_page_from_freelist 2670 2525 -145 Stack usage is reduced from 184 to 168 bytes.

32-bit sparc uses swap instruction to implement set_pte(). It called using GCC inline assembler. But it misses the "memory" clobber to indicate that pte value will be updated in memory. As result GCC doesn't know that it cannot postpone pte pointer dereference which occurs before set_pte() to post-set_pte() time. It leads to real-world bugs -- [1]. In this situation we have code: ptent = ptep_modify_prot_start(mm, addr, pte); ptent = pte_modify(ptent, newprot); ... ptep_modify_prot_commit(mm, addr, pte, ptent); ptep_modify_prot_start() in sparc case is just 'pte' dereference plus pte_clear(). pte_clear() calls broken set_pte(). GCC thinks it's valid to dereference 'pte' again on pte_modify() and gets cleared pte. ptep_modify_prot_commit() puts 'pteent' with pfn==0 back to page table, which eventually leads to the crash.

If __unmap_hugepage_range() tries to unmap the address range over which hugepage migration is on the way, we get the wrong page because pte_page() doesn't work for migration entries. This patch simply clears the pte for migration entries as we do for hwpoison entries. Fixes: 290408d4 ("hugetlb: hugepage migration core") Signed-off-by:

There is a race condition between hugepage migration and change_protection(), where hugetlb_change_protection() doesn't care about migration entries and wrongly overwrites them. That causes unexpected results like kernel crash. HWPoison entries also can cause the same problem. This patch adds is_hugetlb_entry_(migration|hwpoisoned) check in this function to do proper actions. Fixes: 290408d4 ("hugetlb: hugepage migration core") Signed-off-by:

When running the test which causes the race as shown in the previous patch, we can hit the BUG "get_page() on refcount 0 page" in hugetlb_fault(). This race happens when pte turns into migration entry just after the first check of is_hugetlb_entry_migration() in hugetlb_fault() passed with false. To fix this, we need to check pte_present() again after huge_ptep_get(). This patch also reorders taking ptl and doing pte_page(), because pte_page() should be done in ptl. Due to this reordering, we need use trylock_page() in page != pagecache_page case to respect locking order. Fixes: 66aebce7 ("hugetlb: fix race condition in hugetlb_fault()") Signed-off-by:

We have a race condition between move_pages() and freeing hugepages, where move_pages() calls follow_page(FOLL_GET) for hugepages internally and tries to get its refcount without preventing concurrent freeing. This race crashes the kernel, so this patch fixes it by moving FOLL_GET code for hugepages into follow_huge_pmd() with taking the page table lock. This patch intentionally removes page==NULL check after pte_page. This is justified because pte_page() never returns NULL for any architectures or configurations. This patch changes the behavior of follow_huge_pmd() for tail pages and then tail pages can be pinned/returned. So the caller must be changed to properly handle the returned tail pages. We could have a choice to add the similar locking to follow_huge_(addr|pud) for consistency, but it's not necessary because currently these functions don't support FOLL_GET flag, so let's leave it for future development.

Migrating hugepages and hwpoisoned hugepages are considered as non-present hugepages, and they are referenced via migration entries and hwpoison entries in their page table slots. This behavior causes race condition because pmd_huge() doesn't tell non-huge pages from migrating/hwpoisoned hugepages. follow_page_mask() is one example where the kernel would call follow_page_pte() for such hugepage while this function is supposed to handle only normal pages. To avoid this, this patch makes pmd_huge() return true when pmd_none() is true *and* pmd_present() is false. We don't have to worry about mixing up non-present pmd entry with normal pmd (pointing to leaf level pte entry) because pmd_present() is true in normal pmd. The same race condition could happen in (x86-specific) gup_pmd_range(), where this patch simply adds pmd_present() check instead of pmd_huge(). This is because gup_pmd_range() is fast path. If we have non-present hugepage in this function, we will go into gup_huge_pmd(), then return 0 at flag mask check, and finally fall back to the slow path.

Currently we have many duplicates in definitions around follow_huge_addr(), follow_huge_pmd(), and follow_huge_pud(), so this patch tries to remove the m. The basic idea is to put the default implementation for these functions in mm/hugetlb.c as weak symbols (regardless of CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETL B), and to implement arch-specific code only when the arch needs it. For follow_huge_addr(), only powerpc and ia64 have their own implementation, and in all other architectures this function just returns ERR_PTR(-EINVAL). So this patch sets returning ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) as default. As for follow_huge_(pmd|pud)(), if (pmd|pud)_huge() is implemented to always return 0 in your architecture (like in ia64 or sparc,) it's never called (the callsite is optimized away) no matter how implemented it is. So in such architectures, we don't need arch-specific implementation. In some architecture (like mips, s390 and tile,) their current arch-specific follow_huge_(pmd|pud)() are effectively identical with the common code, so this patch lets these architecture use the common code. One exception is metag, where pmd_huge() could return non-zero but it expects follow_huge_pmd() to always return NULL. This means that we need arch-specific implementation which returns NULL. This behavior looks strange to me (because non-zero pmd_huge() implies that the architecture supports PMD-based hugepage, so follow_huge_pmd() can/should return some relevant value,) but that's beyond this cleanup patch, so let's keep it. Justification of non-trivial changes: - in s390, follow_huge_pmd() checks !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE at first, and this patch removes the check. This is OK because we can assume MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE is true when follow_huge_pmd() can be called (note that pmd_huge() has the same check and always returns 0 for !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE.) - in s390 and mips, we use HPAGE_MASK instead of PMD_MASK as done in common code. This patch forces these archs use PMD_MASK, but it's OK because they are identical in both archs. In s390, both of HPAGE_SHIFT and PMD_SHIFT are 20. In mips, HPAGE_SHIFT is defined as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT - 3) and PMD_SHIFT is define as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT + PTE_ORDER - 3), but PTE_ORDER is always 0, so these are identical.
