mm/hmm: fix memremap.h, move dev_page_fault_t callback to hmm

2018-12-28T20:11:52+00:00

The kbuild robot reported the following on a development branch that used
memremap.h in a new path:

   In file included from arch/m68k/include/asm/pgtable_mm.h:148:0,
                     from arch/m68k/include/asm/pgtable.h:5,
                     from include/linux/memremap.h:7,
                     from drivers//dax/bus.c:3:
    arch/m68k/include/asm/motorola_pgtable.h: In function 'pgd_offset':
 >> arch/m68k/include/asm/motorola_pgtable.h:199:11: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type 'const struct mm_struct'
      return mm->pgd + pgd_index(address);
               ^~

The ->page_fault() callback is specific to HMM.  Move it to 'struct
hmm_devmem' where the unusual asm/pgtable.h dependency can be contained in
include/linux/hmm.h.  Longer term refactoring this dependency out of HMM
is recommended, but in the meantime memremap.h remains generic.

mm/mmu_notifier: use structure for invalidate_range_start/end callback

2018-12-28T20:11:50+00:00

Patch series "mmu notifier contextual informations", v2.

This patchset adds contextual information, why an invalidation is
happening, to mmu notifier callback.  This is necessary for user of mmu
notifier that wish to maintains their own data structure without having to
add new fields to struct vm_area_struct (vma).

For instance device can have they own page table that mirror the process
address space.  When a vma is unmap (munmap() syscall) the device driver
can free the device page table for the range.

Today we do not have any information on why a mmu notifier call back is
happening and thus device driver have to assume that it is always an
munmap().  This is inefficient at it means that it needs to re-allocate
device page table on next page fault and rebuild the whole device driver
data structure for the range.

Other use case beside munmap() also exist, for instance it is pointless
for device driver to invalidate the device page table when the
invalidation is for the soft dirtyness tracking.  Or device driver can
optimize away mprotect() that change the page table permission access for
the range.

This patchset enables all this optimizations for device drivers.  I do not
include any of those in this series but another patchset I am posting will
leverage this.

The patchset is pretty simple from a code point of view.  The first two
patches consolidate all mmu notifier arguments into a struct so that it is
easier to add/change arguments.  The last patch adds the contextual
information (munmap, protection, soft dirty, clear, ...).

This patch (of 3):

To avoid having to change many callback definition everytime we want to
add a parameter use a structure to group all parameters for the
mmu_notifier invalidate_range_start/end callback.  No functional changes
with this patch.

mm, hmm: mark hmm_devmem_{add, add_resource} EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL

2018-12-28T20:11:48+00:00

At Maintainer Summit, Greg brought up a topic I proposed around
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL usage.  The motivation was considerations for when
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL is warranted and the criteria for taking the exceptional
step of reclassifying an existing export.  Specifically, I wanted to make
the case that although the line is fuzzy and hard to specify in abstract
terms, it is nonetheless clear that devm_memremap_pages() and HMM
(Heterogeneous Memory Management) have crossed it.  The
devm_memremap_pages() facility should have been EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL from the
beginning, and HMM as a derivative of that functionality should have
naturally picked up that designation as well.

Contrary to typical rules, the HMM infrastructure was merged upstream with
zero in-tree consumers.  There was a promise at the time that those users
would be merged "soon", but it has been over a year with no drivers
arriving.  While the Nouveau driver is about to belatedly make good on
that promise it is clear that HMM was targeted first and foremost at an
out-of-tree consumer.

HMM is derived from devm_memremap_pages(), a facility Christoph and I
spearheaded to support persistent memory.  It combines a device lifetime
model with a dynamically created 'struct page' / memmap array for any
physical address range.  It enables coordination and control of the many
code paths in the kernel built to interact with memory via 'struct page'
objects.  With HMM the integration goes even deeper by allowing device
drivers to hook and manipulate page fault and page free events.

One interpretation of when EXPORT_SYMBOL is suitable is when it is
exporting stable and generic leaf functionality.  The
devm_memremap_pages() facility continues to see expanding use cases,
peer-to-peer DMA being the most recent, with no clear end date when it
will stop attracting reworks and semantic changes.  It is not suitable to
export devm_memremap_pages() as a stable 3rd party driver API due to the
fact that it is still changing and manipulates core behavior.  Moreover,
it is not in the best interest of the long term development of the core
memory management subsystem to permit any external driver to effectively
define its own system-wide memory management policies with no
encouragement to engage with upstream.

I am also concerned that HMM was designed in a way to minimize further
engagement with the core-MM.  That, with these hooks in place,
device-drivers are free to implement their own policies without much
consideration for whether and how the core-MM could grow to meet that
need.  Going forward not only should HMM be EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, but the
core-MM should be allowed the opportunity and stimulus to change and
address these new use cases as first class functionality.

Original changelog:

hmm_devmem_add(), and hmm_devmem_add_resource() duplicated
devm_memremap_pages() and are now simple now wrappers around the core
facility to inject a dev_pagemap instance into the global pgmap_radix and
hook page-idle events.  The devm_memremap_pages() interface is base
infrastructure for HMM.  HMM has more and deeper ties into the kernel
memory management implementation than base ZONE_DEVICE which is itself a
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL facility.

Originally, the HMM page structure creation routines copied the
devm_memremap_pages() code and reused ZONE_DEVICE.  A cleanup to unify the
implementations was discussed during the initial review:
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1701.2/00812.html Recent work to
extend devm_memremap_pages() for the peer-to-peer-DMA facility enabled
this cleanup to move forward.

In addition to the integration with devm_memremap_pages() HMM depends on
other GPL-only symbols:

    mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release
    percpu_ref
    region_intersects
    __class_create

It goes further to consume / indirectly expose functionality that is not
exported to any other driver:

    alloc_pages_vma
    walk_page_range

HMM is derived from devm_memremap_pages(), and extends deep core-kernel
fundamentals. Similar to devm_memremap_pages(), mark its entry points
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().

mm, hmm: replace hmm_devmem_pages_create() with devm_memremap_pages()

2018-12-28T20:11:47+00:00

Commit e8d513483300 ("memremap: change devm_memremap_pages interface to
use struct dev_pagemap") refactored devm_memremap_pages() to allow a
dev_pagemap instance to be supplied.  Passing in a dev_pagemap interface
simplifies the design of pgmap type drivers in that they can rely on
container_of() to lookup any private data associated with the given
dev_pagemap instance.

In addition to the cleanups this also gives hmm users multi-order-radix
improvements that arrived with commit ab1b597ee0e4 "mm,
devm_memremap_pages: use multi-order radix for ZONE_DEVICE lookups"

As part of the conversion to the devm_memremap_pages() method of
handling the percpu_ref relative to when pages are put, the percpu_ref
completion needs to move to hmm_devmem_ref_exit().  See 71389703839e
("mm, zone_device: Replace {get, put}_zone_device_page...") for details.

mm, hmm: use devm semantics for hmm_devmem_{add, remove}

2018-12-28T20:11:47+00:00

devm semantics arrange for resources to be torn down when
device-driver-probe fails or when device-driver-release completes.
Similar to devm_memremap_pages() there is no need to support an explicit
remove operation when the users properly adhere to devm semantics.

Note that devm_kzalloc() automatically handles allocating node-local
memory.

mm/hmm: invalidate device page table at start of invalidation

2018-10-31T15:54:12+00:00

Invalidate device page table at start of invalidation and invalidate in
progress CPU page table snapshooting at both start and end of any
invalidation.

This is helpful when device need to dirty page because the device page
table report the page as dirty.  Dirtying page must happen in the start
mmu notifier callback and not in the end one.

mm/hmm: use a structure for update callback parameters

2018-10-31T15:54:12+00:00

Use a structure to gather all the parameters for the update callback.
This make it easier when adding new parameters by avoiding having to
update all callback function signature.

The hmm_update structure is always associated with a mmu_notifier
callbacks so we are not planing on grouping multiple updates together.
Nor do we care about page size for the range as range will over fully
cover the page being invalidated (this is a mmu_notifier property).

mm/hmm: properly handle migration pmd

2018-10-31T15:54:11+00:00

Before this patch migration pmd entry (!pmd_present()) would have been
treated as a bad entry (pmd_bad() returns true on migration pmd entry).
The outcome was that device driver would believe that the range covered by
the pmd was bad and would either SIGBUS or simply kill all the device's
threads (each device driver decide how to react when the device tries to
access poisonnous or invalid range of memory).

This patch explicitly handle the case of migration pmd entry which are non
present pmd entry and either wait for the migration to finish or report
empty range (when device is just trying to pre- fill a range of virtual
address and thus do not want to wait or trigger page fault).

mm/hmm: fix race between hmm_mirror_unregister() and mmu_notifier callback

2018-10-31T15:54:11+00:00

In hmm_mirror_unregister(), mm->hmm is set to NULL and then
mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release() is called.  That creates a small
window where mmu_notifier can call mmu_notifier_ops with mm->hmm equal to
NULL.  Fix this by first unregistering mmu notifier callbacks and then
setting mm->hmm to NULL.

Similarly in hmm_register(), set mm->hmm before registering mmu_notifier
callbacks so callback functions always see mm->hmm set.
