mm: remove redundant smp_wmb()

2021-11-06T20:30:36+00:00

The smp_wmb() which is in the __pte_alloc() is used to ensure all ptes
setup is visible before the pte is made visible to other CPUs by being
put into page tables.  We only need this when the pte is actually
populated, so move it to pmd_install().  __pte_alloc_kernel(),
__p4d_alloc(), __pud_alloc() and __pmd_alloc() are similar to this case.

We can also defer smp_wmb() to the place where the pmd entry is really
populated by preallocated pte.  There are two kinds of user of
preallocated pte, one is filemap & finish_fault(), another is THP.  The
former does not need another smp_wmb() because the smp_wmb() has been
done by pmd_install().  Fortunately, the latter also does not need
another smp_wmb() because there is already a smp_wmb() before populating
the new pte when the THP uses a preallocated pte to split a huge pmd.

mm: introduce pmd_install() helper

2021-11-06T20:30:36+00:00

Patch series "Do some code cleanups related to mm", v3.

This patch (of 2):

Currently we have three times the same few lines repeated in the code.
Deduplicate them by newly introduced pmd_install() helper.

mm: add zap_skip_check_mapping() helper

2021-11-06T20:30:36+00:00

Use the helper for the checks.  Rename "check_mapping" into
"zap_mapping" because "check_mapping" looks like a bool but in fact it
stores the mapping itself.  When it's set, we check the mapping (it must
be non-NULL).  When it's cleared we skip the check, which works like the
old way.

Move the duplicated comments to the helper too.

mm: drop first_index/last_index in zap_details

2021-11-06T20:30:36+00:00

The first_index/last_index parameters in zap_details are actually only
used in unmap_mapping_range_tree().  At the meantime, this function is
only called by unmap_mapping_pages() once.

Instead of passing these two variables through the whole stack of page
zapping code, remove them from zap_details and let them simply be
parameters of unmap_mapping_range_tree(), which is inlined.

mm: clear vmf->pte after pte_unmap_same() returns

2021-11-06T20:30:36+00:00

pte_unmap_same() will always unmap the pte pointer.  After the unmap,
vmf->pte will not be valid any more, we should clear it.

It was safe only because no one is accessing vmf->pte after
pte_unmap_same() returns, since the only caller of pte_unmap_same() (so
far) is do_swap_page(), where vmf->pte will in most cases be overwritten
very soon.

Directly pass in vmf into pte_unmap_same() and then we can also avoid
the long parameter list too, which should be a nice cleanup.

mm/memory.c: avoid unnecessary kernel/user pointer conversion

2021-11-06T20:30:36+00:00

Annotating a pointer from __user to kernel and then back again might
confuse sparse.  In copy_huge_page_from_user() it can be avoided by
removing the intermediate variable since it is never used.

Merge tag 'locking-core-2021-10-31' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2021-11-01T20:15:36+00:00

Pull locking updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Move futex code into kernel/futex/ and split up the kitchen sink into
   seperate files to make integration of sys_futex_waitv() simpler.

 - Add a new sys_futex_waitv() syscall which allows to wait on multiple
   futexes.

   The main use case is emulating Windows' WaitForMultipleObjects which
   allows Wine to improve the performance of Windows Games. Also native
   Linux games can benefit from this interface as this is a common wait
   pattern for this kind of applications.

 - Add context to ww_mutex_trylock() to provide a path for i915 to
   rework their eviction code step by step without making lockdep upset
   until the final steps of rework are completed. It's also useful for
   regulator and TTM to avoid dropping locks in the non contended path.

 - Lockdep and might_sleep() cleanups and improvements

 - A few improvements for the RT substitutions.

 - The usual small improvements and cleanups.

Merge tag 'folio-5.16' of git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/pagecache

2021-11-01T15:47:59+00:00

Pull memory folios from Matthew Wilcox:
 "Add memory folios, a new type to represent either order-0 pages or the
  head page of a compound page. This should be enough infrastructure to
  support filesystems converting from pages to folios.

  The point of all this churn is to allow filesystems and the page cache
  to manage memory in larger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. The original plan
  was to use compound pages like THP does, but I ran into problems with
  some functions expecting only a head page while others expect the
  precise page containing a particular byte.

  The folio type allows a function to declare that it's expecting only a
  head page. Almost incidentally, this allows us to remove various calls
  to VM_BUG_ON(PageTail(page)) and compound_head().

  This converts just parts of the core MM and the page cache. For 5.17,
  we intend to convert various filesystems (XFS and AFS are ready; other
  filesystems may make it) and also convert more of the MM and page
  cache to folios. For 5.18, multi-page folios should be ready.

  The multi-page folios offer some improvement to some workloads. The
  80% win is real, but appears to be an artificial benchmark (postgres
  startup, which isn't a serious workload). Real workloads (eg building
  the kernel, running postgres in a steady state, etc) seem to benefit
  between 0-10%. I haven't heard of any performance losses as a result
  of this series. Nobody has done any serious performance tuning; I
  imagine that tweaking the readahead algorithm could provide some more
  interesting wins. There are also other places where we could choose to
  create large folios and currently do not, such as writes that are
  larger than PAGE_SIZE.

  I'd like to thank all my reviewers who've offered review/ack tags:

  Weiner, Kirill A. Shutemov, Michal Hocko, Mike Rapoport, Vlastimil

mm: filemap: check if THP has hwpoisoned subpage for PMD page fault

2021-10-29T00:18:55+00:00

When handling shmem page fault the THP with corrupted subpage could be
PMD mapped if certain conditions are satisfied.  But kernel is supposed
to send SIGBUS when trying to map hwpoisoned page.

There are two paths which may do PMD map: fault around and regular
fault.

Before commit f9ce0be71d1f ("mm: Cleanup faultaround and finish_fault()
codepaths") the thing was even worse in fault around path.  The THP
could be PMD mapped as long as the VMA fits regardless what subpage is
accessed and corrupted.  After this commit as long as head page is not
corrupted the THP could be PMD mapped.

In the regular fault path the THP could be PMD mapped as long as the
corrupted page is not accessed and the VMA fits.

This loophole could be fixed by iterating every subpage to check if any
of them is hwpoisoned or not, but it is somewhat costly in page fault
path.

So introduce a new page flag called HasHWPoisoned on the first tail
page.  It indicates the THP has hwpoisoned subpage(s).  It is set if any
subpage of THP is found hwpoisoned by memory failure and after the
refcount is bumped successfully, then cleared when the THP is freed or
split.

The soft offline path doesn't need this since soft offline handler just
marks a subpage hwpoisoned when the subpage is migrated successfully.
But shmem THP didn't get split then migrated at all.
