mm: fix some minor per-VMA lock issues in userfaultfd

2024-05-06T00:53:54+00:00

Rename lock_vma() to uffd_lock_vma() because it really is uffd specific. 
Remove comment referencing unlock_vma() which doesn't exist.  Fix the
comment about lock_vma_under_rcu() which I just made incorrect.

userfaultfd: remove WRITE_ONCE when setting folio->index during UFFDIO_MOVE

2024-05-06T00:53:37+00:00

When folio is moved with UFFDIO_MOVE it gets locked before the rmap and
index are modified.  Due to the folio lock being already held,
WRITE_ONCE() is not needed when setting the folio index.  Remove it.

mm: add pmd_folio()

2024-04-26T03:56:19+00:00

Convert directly from a pmd to a folio without going through another
representation first.  For now this is just a slightly shorter way to
write it, but it might end up being more efficient later.

This is the folio equivalent of is_huge_zero_page().  It doesn't add any
efficiency, but it does prevent the caller from passing a tail page and
getting confused when the predicate returns false.

mm/userfaultfd: Do not place zeropages when zeropages are disallowed

2024-04-18T13:02:53+00:00

s390x must disable shared zeropages for processes running VMs, because
the VMs could end up making use of "storage keys" or protected
virtualization, which are incompatible with shared zeropages.

Yet, with userfaultfd it is possible to insert shared zeropages into
such processes. Let's fallback to simply allocating a fresh zeroed
anonymous folio and insert that instead.

mm_forbids_zeropage() was introduced in commit 593befa6ab74 ("mm: introduce
mm_forbids_zeropage function"), briefly before userfaultfd went
upstream.

Note that we don't want to fail the UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE request like we do
for hugetlb, it would be rather unexpected. Further, we also
cannot really indicated "not supported" to user space ahead of time: it
could be that the MM disallows zeropages after userfaultfd was already
registered.

2024-03-15T00:43:30+00:00

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".

- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series

"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"

- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".

- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.

- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.

- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".

- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.

- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.

- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series

"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"

- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.

- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".

- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".

- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.

- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.

- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.

- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.

- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.

- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.

- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".

- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.

- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.

- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.

- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series

"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"

- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.

- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".

- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series

"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"

- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".

- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".

- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".

- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".

- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.

- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".

- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.

- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.

- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.

- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".

- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
Selftests".

- Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
the individual changelogs for details.

mm: add an explicit smp_wmb() to UFFDIO_CONTINUE

2024-03-12T20:07:17+00:00

Users of UFFDIO_CONTINUE may reasonably assume that a write memory barrier
is included as part of UFFDIO_CONTINUE.  That is, a user may believe that
all writes it has done to a page that it is now UFFDIO_CONTINUE'ing are
guaranteed to be visible to anyone subsequently reading the page through
the newly mapped virtual memory region.

Today, such a user happens to be correct.  mmget_not_zero(), for example,
is called as part of UFFDIO_CONTINUE (and comes before any PTE updates),
and it implicitly gives us a write barrier.

To be resilient against future changes, include an explicit smp_wmb(). 
While we're at it, optimize the smp_wmb() that is already incidentally
present for the HugeTLB case.

Merely making a syscall does not generally imply the memory ordering
constraints that we need (including on x86).
