mm/mlock.c: change can_do_mlock return value type to boolean

2016-01-16T01:56:32+00:00

Since can_do_mlock only return 1 or 0, so make it boolean.

No functional change.

mm: bring in additional flag for fixup_user_fault to signal unlock

2016-01-16T01:56:32+00:00

During Jason's work with postcopy migration support for s390 a problem
regarding gmap faults was discovered.

The gmap code will call fixup_user_fault which will end up always in
handle_mm_fault.  Till now we never cared about retries, but as the
userfaultfd code kind of relies on it.  this needs some fix.

This patchset does not take care of the futex code.  I will now look
closer at this.

This patch (of 2):

With the introduction of userfaultfd, kvm on s390 needs fixup_user_fault
to pass in FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY and give feedback if during the
faulting we ever unlocked mmap_sem.

This patch brings in the logic to handle retries as well as it cleans up
the current documentation.  fixup_user_fault was not having the same
semantics as filemap_fault.  It never indicated if a retry happened and
so a caller wasn't able to handle that case.  So we now changed the
behaviour to always retry a locked mmap_sem.

mm, x86: get_user_pages() for dax mappings

2016-01-16T01:56:32+00:00

A dax mapping establishes a pte with _PAGE_DEVMAP set when the driver
has established a devm_memremap_pages() mapping, i.e.  when the pfn_t
return from ->direct_access() has PFN_DEV and PFN_MAP set.  Later, when
encountering _PAGE_DEVMAP during a page table walk we lookup and pin a
struct dev_pagemap instance to keep the result of pfn_to_page() valid
until put_page().

mm, dax: dax-pmd vs thp-pmd vs hugetlbfs-pmd

2016-01-16T01:56:32+00:00

A dax-huge-page mapping while it uses some thp helpers is ultimately not
a transparent huge page.  The distinction is especially important in the
get_user_pages() path.  pmd_devmap() is used to distinguish dax-pmds
from pmd_huge() and pmd_trans_huge() which have slightly different
semantics.

Explicitly mark the pmd_trans_huge() helpers that dax needs by adding
pmd_devmap() checks.

mm, dax, gpu: convert vm_insert_mixed to pfn_t

2016-01-16T01:56:32+00:00

Convert the raw unsigned long 'pfn' argument to pfn_t for the purpose of
evaluating the PFN_MAP and PFN_DEV flags.  When both are set it triggers
_PAGE_DEVMAP to be set in the resulting pte.

There are no functional changes to the gpu drivers as a result of this
conversion.

x86, mm: introduce vmem_altmap to augment vmemmap_populate()

2016-01-16T01:56:32+00:00

In support of providing struct page for large persistent memory
capacities, use struct vmem_altmap to change the default policy for
allocating memory for the memmap array.  The default vmemmap_populate()
allocates page table storage area from the page allocator.  Given
persistent memory capacities relative to DRAM it may not be feasible to
store the memmap in 'System Memory'.  Instead vmem_altmap represents
pre-allocated "device pages" to satisfy vmemmap_alloc_block_buf()
requests.

mm: skip memory block registration for ZONE_DEVICE

2016-01-16T01:56:32+00:00

Prevent userspace from trying and failing to online ZONE_DEVICE pages
which are meant to never be onlined.

For example on platforms with a udev rule like the following:

  SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", ATTR{state}=="offline", ATTR{state}="online"

...will generate futile attempts to online the ZONE_DEVICE sections.
Example kernel messages:

    Built 1 zonelists in Node order, mobility grouping on.  Total pages: 1004747
    Policy zone: Normal
    online_pages [mem 0x248000000-0x24fffffff] failed

mm: prepare page_referenced() and page_idle to new THP refcounting

2016-01-16T01:56:32+00:00

Both page_referenced() and page_idle_clear_pte_refs_one() assume that
THP can only be mapped with PMD, so there's no reason to look on PTEs
for PageTransHuge() pages.  That's no true anymore: THP can be mapped
with PTEs too.

The patch removes PageTransHuge() test from the functions and opencode
page table check.

thp: introduce deferred_split_huge_page()

2016-01-16T01:56:32+00:00

Currently we don't split huge page on partial unmap.  It's not an ideal
situation.  It can lead to memory overhead.

Furtunately, we can detect partial unmap on page_remove_rmap().  But we
cannot call split_huge_page() from there due to locking context.

It's also counterproductive to do directly from munmap() codepath: in
many cases we will hit this from exit(2) and splitting the huge page
just to free it up in small pages is not what we really want.

The patch introduce deferred_split_huge_page() which put the huge page
into queue for splitting.  The splitting itself will happen when we get
memory pressure via shrinker interface.  The page will be dropped from
list on freeing through compound page destructor.

mm: hwpoison: adjust for new thp refcounting

2016-01-16T01:56:32+00:00

Some mm-related BUG_ON()s could trigger from hwpoison code due to recent
changes in thp refcounting rule.  This patch fixes them up.

In the new refcounting, we no longer use tail->_mapcount to keep tail's
refcount, and thereby we can simplify get/put_hwpoison_page().

And another change is that tail's refcount is not transferred to the raw
page during thp split (more precisely, in new rule we don't take
refcount on tail page any more.) So when we need thp split, we have to
transfer the refcount properly to the 4kB soft-offlined page before
migration.

thp split code goes into core code only when precheck
(total_mapcount(head) == page_count(head) - 1) passes to avoid useless
split, where we assume that one refcount is held by the caller of thp
split and the others are taken via mapping.  To meet this assumption,
this patch moves thp split part in soft_offline_page() after
get_any_page().
