mm: remove shmem_mapping() shmem_zero_setup() duplicates

2017-02-25T01:46:56+00:00

Remove the prototypes for shmem_mapping() and shmem_zero_setup() from
linux/mm.h, since they are already provided in linux/shmem_fs.h.  But
shmem_fs.h must then provide the inline stub for shmem_mapping() when
CONFIG_SHMEM is not set, and a few more cfiles now need to #include it.

userfaultfd: shmem: add shmem_mcopy_atomic_pte for userfaultfd support

2017-02-23T00:41:28+00:00

shmem_mcopy_atomic_pte is the low level routine that implements the
userfaultfd UFFDIO_COPY command.  It is based on the existing
mcopy_atomic_pte routine with modifications for shared memory pages.

shmem: split huge pages beyond i_size under memory pressure

2016-07-26T23:19:19+00:00

Even if user asked to allocate huge pages always (huge=always), we
should be able to free up some memory by splitting pages which are
partly byound i_size if memory presure comes or once we hit limit on
filesystem size (-o size=).

In order to do this we maintain per-superblock list of inodes, which
potentially have huge pages on the border of file size.

Per-fs shrinker can reclaim memory by splitting such pages.

If we hit -ENOSPC during shmem_getpage_gfp(), we try to split a page to
free up space on the filesystem and retry allocation if it succeed.

thp: introduce CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGE_PAGECACHE

2016-07-26T23:19:19+00:00

For file mappings, we don't deposit page tables on THP allocation
because it's not strictly required to implement split_huge_pmd(): we can
just clear pmd and let following page faults to reconstruct the page
table.

But Power makes use of deposited page table to address MMU quirk.

Let's hide THP page cache, including huge tmpfs, under separate config
option, so it can be forbidden on Power.

We can revert the patch later once solution for Power found.

khugepaged: add support of collapse for tmpfs/shmem pages

2016-07-26T23:19:19+00:00

This patch extends khugepaged to support collapse of tmpfs/shmem pages.
We share fair amount of infrastructure with anon-THP collapse.

Few design points:

  - First we are looking for VMA which can be suitable for mapping huge
    page;

  - If the VMA maps shmem file, the rest scan/collapse operations
    operates on page cache, not on page tables as in anon VMA case.

  - khugepaged_scan_shmem() finds a range which is suitable for huge
    page. The scan is lockless and shouldn't disturb system too much.

  - once the candidate for collapse is found, collapse_shmem() attempts
    to create a huge page:

      + scan over radix tree, making the range point to new huge page;

      + new huge page is not-uptodate, locked and freezed (refcount
        is 0), so nobody can touch them until we say so.

      + we swap in pages during the scan. khugepaged_scan_shmem()
        filters out ranges with more than khugepaged_max_ptes_swap
	swapped out pages. It's HPAGE_PMD_NR/8 by default.

      + old pages are isolated, unmapped and put to local list in case
        to be restored back if collapse failed.

  - if collapse succeed, we retract pte page tables from VMAs where huge
    pages mapping is possible. The huge page will be mapped as PMD on
    next minor fault into the range.

shmem: add huge pages support

2016-07-26T23:19:19+00:00

Here's basic implementation of huge pages support for shmem/tmpfs.

It's all pretty streight-forward:

  - shmem_getpage() allcoates huge page if it can and try to inserd into
    radix tree with shmem_add_to_page_cache();

  - shmem_add_to_page_cache() puts the page onto radix-tree if there's
    space for it;

  - shmem_undo_range() removes huge pages, if it fully within range.
    Partial truncate of huge pages zero out this part of THP.

    This have visible effect on fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE)
    behaviour. As we don't really create hole in this case,
    lseek(SEEK_HOLE) may have inconsistent results depending what
    pages happened to be allocated.

  - no need to change shmem_fault: core-mm will map an compound page as
    huge if VMA is suitable;

shmem: get_unmapped_area align huge page

2016-07-26T23:19:19+00:00

Provide a shmem_get_unmapped_area method in file_operations, called at
mmap time to decide the mapping address.  It could be conditional on
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, but save #ifdefs in other places by making
it unconditional.

shmem_get_unmapped_area() first calls the usual mm->get_unmapped_area
(which we treat as a black box, highly dependent on architecture and
config and executable layout).  Lots of conditions, and in most cases it
just goes with the address that chose; but when our huge stars are
rightly aligned, yet that did not provide a suitable address, go back to
ask for a larger arena, within which to align the mapping suitably.

There have to be some direct calls to shmem_get_unmapped_area(), not via
the file_operations: because of the way shmem_zero_setup() is called to
create a shmem object late in the mmap sequence, when MAP_SHARED is
requested with MAP_ANONYMOUS or /dev/zero.  Though this only matters
when /proc/sys/vm/shmem_huge has been set.

shmem: prepare huge= mount option and sysfs knob

2016-07-26T23:19:19+00:00

This patch adds new mount option "huge=". It can have following values:

- "always":
Attempt to allocate huge pages every time we need a new page;

- "never":
Do not allocate huge pages;

- "within_size":
Only allocate huge page if it will be fully within i_size.
Also respect fadvise()/madvise() hints;

- "advise:
Only allocate huge pages if requested with fadvise()/madvise();

Default is "never" for now.

"mount -o remount,huge= /mountpoint" works fine after mount: remounting
huge=never will not attempt to break up huge pages at all, just stop
more from being allocated.

No new config option: put this under CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, which
is the appropriate option to protect those who don't want the new bloat,
and with which we shall share some pmd code.

Prohibit the option when !CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, just as mpol is
invalid without CONFIG_NUMA (was hidden in mpol_parse_str(): make it
explicit).

Allow enabling THP only if the machine has_transparent_hugepage().

But what about Shmem with no user-visible mount? SysV SHM, memfds,
shared anonymous mmaps (of /dev/zero or MAP_ANONYMOUS), GPU drivers' DRM
objects, Ashmem. Though unlikely to suit all usages, provide sysfs knob
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled to experiment with
huge on those.

And allow shmem_enabled two further values:

- "deny":
For use in emergencies, to force the huge option off from
all mounts;
- "force":
Force the huge option on for all - very useful for testing;

Based on patch by Hugh Dickins.

mm, proc: reduce cost of /proc/pid/smaps for unpopulated shmem mappings

2016-01-15T00:00:49+00:00

Following the previous patch, further reduction of /proc/pid/smaps cost
is possible for private writable shmem mappings with unpopulated areas
where the page walk invokes the .pte_hole function.  We can use radix
tree iterator for each such area instead of calling find_get_entry() in
a loop.  This is possible at the extra maintenance cost of introducing
another shmem function shmem_partial_swap_usage().

To demonstrate the diference, I have measured this on a process that
creates a private writable 2GB mapping of a partially swapped out
/dev/shm/file (which cannot employ the optimizations from the prvious
patch) and doesn't populate it at all.  I time how long does it take to
cat /proc/pid/smaps of this process 100 times.

Before this patch:

real    0m3.831s
user    0m0.180s
sys     0m3.212s

After this patch:

real    0m1.176s
user    0m0.180s
sys     0m0.684s

The time is similar to the case where a radix tree iterator is employed
on the whole mapping.
