Patch series "Separate NUMA statistics from zone statistics", v2. Each page allocation updates a set of per-zone statistics with a call to zone_statistics(). As discussed in 2017 MM summit, these are a substantial source of overhead in the page allocator and are very rarely consumed. This significant overhead in cache bouncing caused by zone counters (NUMA associated counters) update in parallel in multi-threaded page allocation (pointed out by Dave Hansen). A link to the MM summit slides: http://people.netfilter.org/hawk/presentations/MM-summit2017/MM-summit2017-JesperBrouer.pdf To mitigate this overhead, this patchset separates NUMA statistics from zone statistics framework, and update NUMA counter threshold to a fixed size of MAX_U16 - 2, as a small threshold greatly increases the update frequency of the global counter from local per cpu counter (suggested by Ying Huang). The rationality is that these statistics counters don't need to be read often, unlike other VM counters, so it's not a problem to use a large threshold and make readers more expensive. With this patchset, we see 31.3% drop of CPU cycles(537-->369, see below) for per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's page_bench03 benchmark. Meanwhile, this patchset keeps the same style of virtual memory statistics with little end-user-visible effects (only move the numa stats to show behind zone page stats, see the first patch for details). I did an experiment of single page allocation and reclaim concurrently using Jesper's page_bench03 benchmark on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based server (88 processors with 126G memory) with different size of threshold of pcp counter.

This is an enhancement to avoid a non cooperative userfaultfd manager having to unregister all regions before it can close the uffd after all userfaultfd activity completed. The UFFDIO_UNREGISTER would serialize against the handle_userfault by taking the mmap_sem for writing, but we can simply repeat the page fault if we detect the uffd was closed and so the regular page fault paths should takeover.

This allows callers of migrate_vma() to allocate new page for empty CPU page table entry (pte_none or back by zero page). This is only for anonymous memory and it won't allow new page to be instanced if the userfaultfd is armed. This is useful to device driver that want to migrate a range of virtual address and would rather allocate new memory than having to fault later on.

Common case for migration of virtual address range is page are map only once inside the vma in which migration is taking place. Because we already walk the CPU page table for that range we can directly do the unmap there and setup special migration swap entry.

This patch add a new memory migration helpers, which migrate memory backing a range of virtual address of a process to different memory (which can be allocated through special allocator). It differs from numa migration by working on a range of virtual address and thus by doing migration in chunk that can be large enough to use DMA engine or special copy offloading engine. Expected users are any one with heterogeneous memory where different memory have different characteristics (latency, bandwidth, ...). As an example IBM platform with CAPI bus can make use of this feature to migrate between regular memory and CAPI device memory. New CPU architecture with a pool of high performance memory not manage as cache but presented as regular memory (while being faster and with lower latency than DDR) will also be prime user of this patch. Migration to private device memory will be useful for device that have large pool of such like GPU, NVidia plans to use HMM for that.

Introduce a new migration mode that allow to offload the copy to a device DMA engine. This changes the workflow of migration and not all address_space migratepage callback can support this. This is intended to be use by migrate_vma() which itself is use for thing like HMM (see include/linux/hmm.h). No additional per-filesystem migratepage testing is needed. I disables MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY in all problematic migratepage() callback and i added comment in those to explain why (part of this patch). The commit message is unclear it should say that any callback that wish to support this new mode need to be aware of the difference in the migration flow from other mode. Some of these callbacks do extra locking while copying (aio, zsmalloc, balloon, ...) and for DMA to be effective you want to copy multiple pages in one DMA operations. But in the problematic case you can not easily hold the extra lock accross multiple call to this callback. Usual flow is: For each page { 1 - lock page 2 - call migratepage() callback 3 - (extra locking in some migratepage() callback) 4 - migrate page state (freeze refcount, update page cache, buffer head, ...) 5 - copy page 6 - (unlock any extra lock of migratepage() callback) 7 - return from migratepage() callback 8 - unlock page } The new mode MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY: 1 - lock multiple pages For each page { 2 - call migratepage() callback 3 - abort in all problematic migratepage() callback 4 - migrate page state (freeze refcount, update page cache, buffer head, ...) } // finished all calls to migratepage() callback 5 - DMA copy multiple pages 6 - unlock all the pages To support MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY in the problematic case we would need a new callback migratepages() (for instance) that deals with multiple pages in one transaction. Because the problematic cases are not important for current usage I did not wanted to complexify this patchset even more for no good reason.

This introduce a simple struct and associated helpers for device driver to use when hotpluging un-addressable device memory as ZONE_DEVICE. It will find a unuse physical address range and trigger memory hotplug for it which allocates and initialize struct page for the device memory. Device driver should use this helper during device initialization to hotplug the device memory. It should only need to remove the memory once the device is going offline (shutdown or hotremove). There should not be any userspace API to hotplug memory expect maybe for host device driver to allow to add more memory to a guest device driver. Device's memory is manage by the device driver and HMM only provides helpers to that effect. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170817000548.32038-12-jglisse@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

HMM pages (private or public device pages) are ZONE_DEVICE page and thus need special handling when it comes to lru or refcount. This patch make sure that memcontrol properly handle those when it face them. Those pages are use like regular pages in a process address space either as anonymous page or as file back page.

HMM (heterogeneous memory management) need struct page to support migration from system main memory to device memory. Reasons for HMM and migration to device memory is explained with HMM core patch. This patch deals with device memory that is un-addressable memory (ie CPU can not access it). Hence we do not want those struct page to be manage like regular memory. That is why we extend ZONE_DEVICE to support different types of memory. A persistent memory type is define for existing user of ZONE_DEVICE and a new device un-addressable type is added for the un-addressable memory type. There is a clear separation between what is expected from each memory type and existing user of ZONE_DEVICE are un-affected by new requirement and new use of the un-addressable type. All specific code path are protect with test against the memory type. Because memory is un-addressable we use a new special swap type for when a page is migrated to device memory (this reduces the number of maximum swap file). The main two additions beside memory type to ZONE_DEVICE is two callbacks. First one, page_free() is call whenever page refcount reach 1 (which means the page is free as ZONE_DEVICE page never reach a refcount of 0). This allow device driver to manage its memory and associated struct page. The second callback page_fault() happens when there is a CPU access to an address that is back by a device page (which are un-addressable by the CPU). This callback is responsible to migrate the page back to system main memory. Device driver can not block migration back to system memory, HMM make sure that such page can not be pin into device memory. If device is in some error condition and can not migrate memory back then a CPU page fault to device memory should end with SIGBUS.

There are new users of memory hotplug emerging. Some of them require different subset of arch_add_memory. There are some which only require allocation of struct pages without mapping those pages to the kernel address space. We currently have __add_pages for that purpose. But this is rather lowlevel and not very suitable for the code outside of the memory hotplug. E.g. x86_64 wants to update max_pfn which should be done by the caller. Introduce add_pages() which should care about those details if they are needed. Each architecture should define its implementation and select CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ADD_PAGES. All others use the currently existing __add_pages. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170817000548.32038-7-jglisse@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

This is a heterogeneous memory management (HMM) process address space mirroring. In a nutshell this provide an API to mirror process address space on a device. This boils down to keeping CPU and device page table synchronize (we assume that both device and CPU are cache coherent like PCIe device can be). This patch provide a simple API for device driver to achieve address space mirroring thus avoiding each device driver to grow its own CPU page table walker and its own CPU page table synchronization mechanism. This is useful for NVidia GPU >= Pascal, Mellanox IB >= mlx5 and more hardware in the future.

Patch series "HMM (Heterogeneous Memory Management)", v25. Heterogeneous Memory Management (HMM) (description and justification) Today device driver expose dedicated memory allocation API through their device file, often relying on a combination of IOCTL and mmap calls. The device can only access and use memory allocated through this API. This effectively split the program address space into object allocated for the device and useable by the device and other regular memory (malloc, mmap of a file, share memory, â) only accessible by CPU (or in a very limited way by a device by pinning memory). Allowing different isolated component of a program to use a device thus require duplication of the input data structure using device memory allocator. This is reasonable for simple data structure (array, grid, image, â) but this get extremely complex with advance data structure (list, tree, graph, â) that rely on a web of memory pointers. This is becoming a serious limitation on the kind of work load that can be offloaded to device like GPU. New industry standard like C++, OpenCL or CUDA are pushing to remove this barrier. This require a shared address space between GPU device and CPU so that GPU can access any memory of a process (while still obeying memory protection like read only). This kind of feature is also appearing in various other operating systems. HMM is a set of helpers to facilitate several aspects of address space sharing and device memory management. Unlike existing sharing mechanism that rely on pining pages use by a device, HMM relies on mmu_notifier to propagate CPU page table update to device page table. Duplicating CPU page table is only one aspect necessary for efficiently using device like GPU. GPU local memory have bandwidth in the TeraBytes/ second range but they are connected to main memory through a system bus like PCIE that is limited to 32GigaBytes/second (PCIE 4.0 16x). Thus it is necessary to allow migration of process memory from main system memory to device memory. Issue is that on platform that only have PCIE the device memory is not accessible by the CPU with the same properties as main memory (cache coherency, atomic operations, ...). To allow migration from main memory to device memory HMM provides a set of helper to hotplug device memory as a new type of ZONE_DEVICE memory which is un-addressable by CPU but still has struct page representing it. This allow most of the core kernel logic that deals with a process memory to stay oblivious of the peculiarity of device memory. When page backing an address of a process is migrated to device memory the CPU page table entry is set to a new specific swap entry. CPU access to such address triggers a migration back to system memory, just like if the page was swap on disk. HMM also blocks any one from pinning a ZONE_DEVICE page so that it can always be migrated back to system memory if CPU access it. Conversely HMM does not migrate to device memory any page that is pin in system memory. To allow efficient migration between device memory and main memory a new migrate_vma() helpers is added with this patchset. It allows to leverage device DMA engine to perform the copy operation. This feature will be use by upstream driver like nouveau mlx5 and probably other in the future (amdgpu is next suspect in line). We are actively working on nouveau and mlx5 support. To test this patchset we also worked with NVidia close source driver team, they have more resources than us to test this kind of infrastructure and also a bigger and better userspace eco-system with various real industry workload they can be use to test and profile HMM. The expected workload is a program builds a data set on the CPU (from disk, from network, from sensors, â). Program uses GPU API (OpenCL, CUDA, ...) to give hint on memory placement for the input data and also for the output buffer. Program call GPU API to schedule a GPU job, this happens using device driver specific ioctl. All this is hidden from programmer point of view in case of C++ compiler that transparently offload some part of a program to GPU. Program can keep doing other stuff on the CPU while the GPU is crunching numbers. It is expected that CPU will not access the same data set as the GPU while GPU is working on it, but this is not mandatory. In fact we expect some small memory object to be actively access by both GPU and CPU concurrently as synchronization channel and/or for monitoring purposes. Such object will stay in system memory and should not be bottlenecked by system bus bandwidth (rare write and read access from both CPU and GPU). As we are relying on device driver API, HMM does not introduce any new syscall nor does it modify any existing ones. It does not change any POSIX semantics or behaviors. For instance the child after a fork of a process that is using HMM will not be impacted in anyway, nor is there any data hazard between child COW or parent COW of memory that was migrated to device prior to fork. HMM assume a numbers of hardware features. Device must allow device page table to be updated at any time (ie device job must be preemptable). Device page table must provides memory protection such as read only. Device must track write access (dirty bit). Device must have a minimum granularity that match PAGE_SIZE (ie 4k). Reviewer (just hint): Patch 1 HMM documentation Patch 2 introduce core infrastructure and definition of HMM, pretty small patch and easy to review Patch 3 introduce the mirror functionality of HMM, it relies on mmu_notifier and thus someone familiar with that part would be in better position to review Patch 4 is an helper to snapshot CPU page table while synchronizing with concurrent page table update. Understanding mmu_notifier makes review easier. Patch 5 is mostly a wrapper around handle_mm_fault() Patch 6 add new add_pages() helper to avoid modifying each arch memory hot plug function Patch 7 add a new memory type for ZONE_DEVICE and also add all the logic in various core mm to support this new type. Dan Williams and any core mm contributor are best people to review each half of this patchset Patch 8 special case HMM ZONE_DEVICE pages inside put_page() Kirill and Dan Williams are best person to review this Patch 9 allow to uncharge a page from memory group without using the lru list field of struct page (best reviewer: Johannes Weiner or Vladimir Davydov or Michal Hocko) Patch 10 Add support to uncharge ZONE_DEVICE page from a memory cgroup (best reviewer: Johannes Weiner or Vladimir Davydov or Michal Hocko) Patch 11 add helper to hotplug un-addressable device memory as new type of ZONE_DEVICE memory (new type introducted in patch 3 of this serie). This is boiler plate code around memory hotplug and it also pick a free range of physical address for the device memory. Note that the physical address do not point to anything (at least as far as the kernel knows). Patch 12 introduce a new hmm_device class as an helper for device driver that want to expose multiple device memory under a common fake device driver. This is usefull for multi-gpu configuration. Anyone familiar with device driver infrastructure can review this. Boiler plate code really. Patch 13 add a new migrate mode. Any one familiar with page migration is welcome to review. Patch 14 introduce a new migration helper (migrate_vma()) that allow to migrate a range of virtual address of a process using device DMA engine to perform the copy. It is not limited to do copy from and to device but can also do copy between any kind of source and destination memory. Again anyone familiar with migration code should be able to verify the logic. Patch 15 optimize the new migrate_vma() by unmapping pages while we are collecting them. This can be review by any mm folks. Patch 16 add unaddressable memory migration to helper introduced in patch 7, this can be review by anyone familiar with migration code Patch 17 add a feature that allow device to allocate non-present page on the GPU when migrating a range of address to device memory. This is an helper for device driver to avoid having to first allocate system memory before migration to device memory Patch 18 add a new kind of ZONE_DEVICE memory for cache coherent device memory (CDM) Patch 19 add an helper to hotplug CDM memory Previous patchset posting : v1 http://lwn.net/Articles/597289/ v2 https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/12/559 v3 https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/13/633 v4 https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/8/29/423 v5 https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/3/759 v6 http://lwn.net/Articles/619737/ v7 http://lwn.net/Articles/627316/ v8 https://lwn.net/Articles/645515/ v9 https://lwn.net/Articles/651553/ v10 https://lwn.net/Articles/654430/ v11 http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/2286424 v12 http://www.kernelhub.org/?msg=972982&p=2 v13 https://lwn.net/Articles/706856/ v14 https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/12/8/344 v15 http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg1304107.html v16 http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg119814.html v17 https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/1/27/847 v18 https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/16/596 v19 https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/4/5/831 v20 https://lwn.net/Articles/720715/ v21 https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/4/24/747 v22 http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1705.2/05176.html v23 https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1404788.html v24 https://lwn.net/Articles/726691/ This patch (of 19): This adds documentation for HMM (Heterogeneous Memory Management).

When THP migration is being used, memory management code needs to handle pmd migration entries properly. This patch uses !pmd_present() or is_swap_pmd() (depending on whether pmd_none() needs separate code or not) to check pmd migration entries at the places where a pmd entry is present. Since pmd-related code uses split_huge_page(), split_huge_pmd(), pmd_trans_huge(), pmd_trans_unstable(), or pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad(), this patch: 1. adds pmd migration entry split code in split_huge_pmd(), 2. takes care of pmd migration entries whenever pmd_trans_huge() is present, 3. makes pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() pmd migration entry aware. Since split_huge_page() uses split_huge_pmd() and pmd_trans_unstable() is equivalent to pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad(), we do not change them. Until this commit, a pmd entry should be: 1. pointing to a pte page, 2. is_swap_pmd(), 3. pmd_trans_huge(), 4. pmd_devmap(), or 5. pmd_none(). Signed-off-by:

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().

_PAGE_PSE is used to distinguish between a truly non-present (_PAGE_PRESENT=0) PMD, and a PMD which is undergoing a THP split and should be treated as present. But _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY currently uses the _PAGE_PSE bit, which would cause confusion between one of those PMDs undergoing a THP split, and a soft-dirty PMD. Dropping _PAGE_PSE check in pmd_present() does not work well, because it can hurt optimization of tlb handling in thp split. Thus, we need to move the bit. In the current kernel, bits 1-4 are not used in non-present format since commit 00839ee3 ("x86/mm: Move swap offset/type up in PTE to work around erratum"). So let's move _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY to bit 1. Bit 7 is used as reserved (always clear), so please don't use it for other purpose.

Patch series "mm: page migration enhancement for thp", v9. Motivations: 1. THP migration becomes important in the upcoming heterogeneous memory systems. As David Nellans from NVIDIA pointed out from other threads (http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1349227.html), future GPUs or other accelerators will have their memory managed by operating systems. Moving data into and out of these memory nodes efficiently is critical to applications that use GPUs or other accelerators. Existing page migration only supports base pages, which has a very low memory bandwidth utilization. My experiments (see below) show THP migration can migrate pages more efficiently. 2. Base page migration vs THP migration throughput. Here are cross-socket page migration results from calling move_pages() syscall: In x86_64, a Intel two-socket E5-2640v3 box, - single 4KB base page migration takes 62.47 us, using 0.06 GB/s BW, - single 2MB THP migration takes 658.54 us, using 2.97 GB/s BW, - 512 4KB base page migration takes 1987.38 us, using 0.98 GB/s BW. In ppc64, a two-socket Power8 box, - single 64KB base page migration takes 49.3 us, using 1.24 GB/s BW, - single 16MB THP migration takes 2202.17 us, using 7.10 GB/s BW, - 256 64KB base page migration takes 2543.65 us, using 6.14 GB/s BW. THP migration can give us 3x and 1.15x throughput over base page migration in x86_64 and ppc64 respectivley. You can test it out by using the code here: https://github.com/x-y-z/thp-migration-bench 3. Existing page migration splits THP before migration and cannot guarantee the migrated pages are still contiguous. Contiguity is always what GPUs and accelerators look for. Without THP migration, khugepaged needs to do extra work to reassemble the migrated pages back to THPs. This patch (of 10): Introduce a separate check routine related to MPOL_MF_INVERT flag. This patch just does cleanup, no behavioral change. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170717193955.20207-2-zi.yan@sent.comSigned-off-by:

The fix in the parent made me look at that function, and react to how illogical and illegible the array initializer was. Use named array indexes to make it clearer what is going on, and make the initializer not depend silently on the exact index numbers.

Remove our use of 'gperf' for generating perfect hashes from some of our build tools. This removal was prompted by Masahiro Yamada sending out a patch that removes all our pre-generated files, and when I tested it, I noticed that the gperf version I have (3.1) apparently generates code that no longer works with out code-base because the function interfaces generated by gperf have changed. We really don't care that much, and the gperf people changed their interfaces in ways that makes it annoying to work with them. Tools that make it hard to use them should not be used, and the kernel is not at all interested in some autoconf mess. So remove the gperf dependency entirely. It turns out that if you ignore the pre-generated files, the use of gperf apparently saved us a whopping fifteen lines of code. It obviously wasn't worth it, considering that the pre-generated files are about 500 lines. I sent this out as a patch about three weeks ago, and got absolutely zero responses. So let's see if anybody notices now that I merge it. Because there might be serious bugs here, but it WorksForMe(tm). * gperf-removal: Remove gperf usage from toolchain
