Add sparse memory vmemmap support for LoongArch. SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP uses a
virtually mapped memmap to optimise pfn_to_page and page_to_pfn
operations. This is the most efficient option when sufficient kernel
resources are available.

When I first introduced vmemmap manipulation functions related to HugeTLB,
I thought those functions may be reused by other modules (e.g. using
similar approach to optimize vmemmap pages, unfortunately, the DAX used
the same approach but does not use those functions). After two years, we
didn't see any other users. So move those functions to hugetlb_vmemmap.c.
Code movement without any functional change.

Higher order allocations for vmemmap pages from buddy allocator must be
able to be treated as indepdenent small pages as they can be freed
individually by the caller. There is no problem for higher order vmemmap
pages allocated at boot time since each individual small page will be
initialized at boot time. However, it will be an issue for memory hotplug
case since those higher order vmemmap pages are allocated from buddy
allocator without initializing each individual small page's refcount. The
system will panic in put_page_testzero() when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled
if the vmemmap page is freed.

memory from mirrored region, which will lead to vmemmap_verify() in

A compound devmap is a dev_pagemap with @vmemmap_shift > 0 and it means
that pages are mapped at a given huge page alignment and utilize uses
compound pages as opposed to order-0 pages.
Take advantage of the fact that most tail pages look the same (except the
first two) to minimize struct page overhead. Allocate a separate page for
the vmemmap area which contains the head page and separate for the next 64
pages. The rest of the subsections then reuse this tail vmemmap page to
initialize the rest of the tail pages.
Sections are arch-dependent (e.g. on x86 it's 64M, 128M or 512M) and when
initializing compound devmap with big enough @vmemmap_shift (e.g. 1G PUD)
it may cross multiple sections. The vmemmap code needs to consult @pgmap
so that multiple sections that all map the same tail data can refer back
to the first copy of that data for a given gigantic page.
On compound devmaps with 2M align, this mechanism lets 6 pages be saved
out of the 8 necessary PFNs necessary to set the subsection's 512 struct
pages being mapped. On a 1G compound devmap it saves 4094 pages.
Altmap isn't supported yet, given various restrictions in altmap pfn
allocator, thus fallback to the already in use vmemmap_populate(). It is
worth noting that altmap for devmap mappings was there to relieve the
pressure of inordinate amounts of memmap space to map terabytes of pmem.
With compound pages the motivation for altmaps for pmem gets reduced.

In preparation for describing a memmap with compound pages, move the
actual pte population logic into a separate function
vmemmap_populate_address() and have a new helper vmemmap_populate_range()
walk through all base pages it needs to populate.
While doing that, change the helper to use a pte_t* as return value,
rather than an hardcoded errno of 0 or -ENOMEM.

Patch series "sparse-vmemmap: memory savings for compound devmaps (device-dax)", v9.
This series minimizes 'struct page' overhead by pursuing a similar
approach as Muchun Song series "Free some vmemmap pages of hugetlb page"
(now merged since v5.14), but applied to devmap with @vmemmap_shift
(device-dax).
The vmemmap dedpulication original idea (already used in HugeTLB) is to
reuse/deduplicate tail page vmemmap areas, particular the area which only
describes tail pages. So a vmemmap page describes 64 struct pages, and
the first page for a given ZONE_DEVICE vmemmap would contain the head page
and 63 tail pages. The second vmemmap page would contain only tail pages,
and that's what gets reused across the rest of the subsection/section.
The bigger the page size, the bigger the savings (2M hpage -> save 6
vmemmap pages; 1G hpage -> save 4094 vmemmap pages).
This is done for PMEM /specifically only/ on device-dax configured
namespaces, not fsdax. In other words, a devmap with a @vmemmap_shift.
In terms of savings, per 1Tb of memory, the struct page cost would go down
with compound devmap:
* with 2M pages we lose 4G instead of 16G (0.39% instead of 1.5% of
total memory)
* with 1G pages we lose 40MB instead of 16G (0.0014% instead of 1.5% of
total memory)
The series is mostly summed up by patch 4, and to summarize what the
series does:
Patches 1 - 3: Minor cleanups in preparation for patch 4. Move the very
nice docs of hugetlb_vmemmap.c into a Documentation/vm/ entry.
Patch 4: Patch 4 is the one that takes care of the struct page savings
(also referred to here as tail-page/vmemmap deduplication). Much like
Muchun series, we reuse the second PTE tail page vmemmap areas across a
given @vmemmap_shift On important difference though, is that contrary to
the hugetlbfs series, there's no vmemmap for the area because we are
late-populating it as opposed to remapping a system-ram range. IOW no
freeing of pages of already initialized vmemmap like the case for
hugetlbfs, which greatly simplifies the logic (besides not being
arch-specific). altmap case unchanged and still goes via the
vmemmap_populate(). Also adjust the newly added docs to the device-dax
case.
[Note that device-dax is still a little behind HugeTLB in terms of
savings. I have an additional simple patch that reuses the head vmemmap
page too, as a follow-up. That will double the savings and namespaces
initialization.]
Patch 5: Initialize fewer struct pages depending on the page size with
DRAM backed struct pages -- because fewer pages are unique and most tail
pages (with bigger vmemmap_shift).
NVDIMM namespace bootstrap improves from ~268-358 ms to
~80-110/<1ms on 128G NVDIMMs with 2M and 1G respectivally. And struct
page needed capacity will be 3.8x / 1071x smaller for 2M and 1G
respectivelly. Tested on x86 with 1.5Tb of pmem (including pinning,
and RDMA registration/deregistration scalability with 2M MRs)
This patch (of 5):
In support of using compound pages for devmap mappings, plumb the pgmap
down to the vmemmap_populate implementation. Note that while altmap is
retrievable from pgmap the memory hotplug code passes altmap without
pgmap[*], so both need to be independently plumbed.
So in addition to @altmap, pass @pgmap to sparse section populate
functions namely:
sparse_add_section
section_activate
populate_section_memmap
__populate_section_memmap
Passing @pgmap allows __populate_section_memmap() to both fetch the
vmemmap_shift in which memmap metadata is created for and also to let
sparse-vmemmap fetch pgmap ranges to co-relate to a given section and pick
whether to just reuse tail pages from past onlined sections.
While at it, fix the kdoc for @altmap for sparse_add_section().

The init_mm.page_table_lock is used to protect kernel page tables, we
can use it to serialize splitting vmemmap PMD mappings instead of mmap
write lock, which can increase the concurrency of vmemmap_remap_free().
Actually, It increase the concurrency between allocations of HugeTLB
pages. But it is not the only benefit. There are a lot of users of
mmap read lock of init_mm. The mmap write lock is holding through
vmemmap_remap_free(), removing mmap write lock usage to make it does not
affect other users of mmap read lock. It is not making anything worse
and always a win to move.
Now the kernel page table walker does not hold the page_table_lock when
walking pmd entries. There may be consistency issue of a pmd entry,
because pmd entry might change from a huge pmd entry to a PTE page
table. There is only one user of kernel page table walker, namely
ptdump. The ptdump already considers the consistency, which use a local
variable to cache the value of pmd entry. But we also need to update
->action to ACTION_CONTINUE to make sure the walker does not walk every
pte entry again when concurrent thread has split the huge pmd.

Patch series "Free the 2nd vmemmap page associated with each HugeTLB
page", v7.
This series can minimize the overhead of struct page for 2MB HugeTLB
pages significantly. It further reduces the overhead of struct page by
12.5% for a 2MB HugeTLB compared to the previous approach, which means
2GB per 1TB HugeTLB. It is a nice gain. Comments and reviews are
welcome. Thanks.
The main implementation and details can refer to the commit log of patch
1. In this series, I have changed the following four helpers, the
following table shows the impact of the overhead of those helpers.
+------------------+-----------------------+
| APIs | head page | tail page |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
| PageHead() | Y | N |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
| PageTail() | Y | N |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
| PageCompound() | N | N |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
| compound_head() | Y | N |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
Y: Overhead is increased.
N: Overhead is _NOT_ increased.
It shows that the overhead of those helpers on a tail page don't change
between "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" and "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=off". But the
overhead on a head page will be increased when "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on"
(except PageCompound()). So I believe that Matthew Wilcox's folio series
will help with this.
The users of PageHead() and PageTail() are much less than compound_head()
and most users of PageTail() are VM_BUG_ON(), so I have done some tests
about the overhead of compound_head() on head pages.
I have tested the overhead of calling compound_head() on a head page,
which is 2.11ns (Measure the call time of 10 million times
compound_head(), and then average).
For a head page whose address is not aligned with PAGE_SIZE or a
non-compound page, the overhead of compound_head() is 2.54ns which is
increased by 20%. For a head page whose address is aligned with
PAGE_SIZE, the overhead of compound_head() is 2.97ns which is increased by
40%. Most pages are the former. I do not think the overhead is
significant since the overhead of compound_head() itself is low.
This patch (of 5):
This patch minimizes the overhead of struct page for 2MB HugeTLB pages
significantly. It further reduces the overhead of struct page by 12.5%
for a 2MB HugeTLB compared to the previous approach, which means 2GB per
1TB HugeTLB (2MB type).
After the feature of "Free sonme vmemmap pages of HugeTLB page" is
enabled, the mapping of the vmemmap addresses associated with a 2MB
HugeTLB page becomes the figure below.
HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages)
+-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+---> PG_head
| | | 0 | -------------> | 0 |
| | +-----------+ +-----------+

As we can see, the 2nd vmemmap page frame (indexed by 1) is reused and
remaped. However, the 2nd vmemmap page frame is also can be freed to
the buddy allocator, then we can change the mapping from the figure
above to the figure below.

After we do this, all tail vmemmap pages (1-7) are mapped to the head
vmemmap page frame (0). In other words, there are more than one page
struct with PG_head associated with each HugeTLB page. We __know__ that
there is only one head page struct, the tail page structs with PG_head are
fake head page structs. We need an approach to distinguish between those
two different types of page structs so that compound_head(), PageHead()
and PageTail() can work properly if the parameter is the tail page struct
but with PG_head.
The following code snippet describes how to distinguish between real and
fake head page struct.
if (test_bit(PG_head, &page->flags)) {
unsigned long head = READ_ONCE(page[1].compound_head);
if (head & 1) {
if (head == (unsigned long)page + 1)
==> head page struct
else
==> tail page struct
} else
==> head page struct
}
We can safely access the field of the @page[1] with PG_head because the
@page is a compound page composed with at least two contiguous pages.

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.

Patch series "Split huge PMD mapping of vmemmap pages", v4.
In order to reduce the difficulty of code review in series[1]. We disable
huge PMD mapping of vmemmap pages when that feature is enabled. In this
series, we do not disable huge PMD mapping of vmemmap pages anymore. We
will split huge PMD mapping when needed. When HugeTLB pages are freed
from the pool we do not attempt coalasce and move back to a PMD mapping
because it is much more complex.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/20210510030027.56044-1-songmuchun@bytedance.com/
This patch (of 3):
In [1], PMD mappings of vmemmap pages were disabled if the the feature
hugetlb_free_vmemmap was enabled. This was done to simplify the initial
implementation of vmmemap freeing for hugetlb pages. Now, remove this
simplification by allowing PMD mapping and switching to PTE mappings as
needed for allocated hugetlb pages.
When a hugetlb page is allocated, the vmemmap page tables are walked to
free vmemmap pages. During this walk, split huge PMD mappings to PTE
mappings as required. In the unlikely case PTE pages can not be
allocated, return error(ENOMEM) and do not optimize vmemmap of the hugetlb
page.
When HugeTLB pages are freed from the pool, we do not attempt to
coalesce and move back to a PMD mapping because it is much more complex.

When we free a HugeTLB page to the buddy allocator, we need to allocate
the vmemmap pages associated with it. However, we may not be able to
allocate the vmemmap pages when the system is under memory pressure. In
this case, we just refuse to free the HugeTLB page. This changes behavior
in some corner cases as listed below:
1) Failing to free a huge page triggered by the user (decrease nr_pages).
User needs to try again later.
2) Failing to free a surplus huge page when freed by the application.
Try again later when freeing a huge page next time.
3) Failing to dissolve a free huge page on ZONE_MOVABLE via
offline_pages().
This can happen when we have plenty of ZONE_MOVABLE memory, but
not enough kernel memory to allocate vmemmmap pages. We may even
be able to migrate huge page contents, but will not be able to
dissolve the source huge page. This will prevent an offline
operation and is unfortunate as memory offlining is expected to
succeed on movable zones. Users that depend on memory hotplug
to succeed for movable zones should carefully consider whether the
memory savings gained from this feature are worth the risk of
possibly not being able to offline memory in certain situations.
4) Failing to dissolve a huge page on CMA/ZONE_MOVABLE via
alloc_contig_range() - once we have that handling in place. Mainly
affects CMA and virtio-mem.
Similar to 3). virito-mem will handle migration errors gracefully.
CMA might be able to fallback on other free areas within the CMA
region.
Vmemmap pages are allocated from the page freeing context. In order for
those allocations to be not disruptive (e.g. trigger oom killer)
__GFP_NORETRY is used. hugetlb_lock is dropped for the allocation because
a non sleeping allocation would be too fragile and it could fail too
easily under memory pressure. GFP_ATOMIC or other modes to access memory
reserves is not used because we want to prevent consuming reserves under
heavy hugetlb freeing.

Every HugeTLB has more than one struct page structure. We __know__ that
we only use the first 4 (__NR_USED_SUBPAGE) struct page structures to
store metadata associated with each HugeTLB.
There are a lot of struct page structures associated with each HugeTLB
page. For tail pages, the value of compound_head is the same. So we can
reuse first page of tail page structures. We map the virtual addresses of
the remaining pages of tail page structures to the first tail page struct,
and then free these page frames. Therefore, we need to reserve two pages
as vmemmap areas.
When we allocate a HugeTLB page from the buddy, we can free some vmemmap
pages associated with each HugeTLB page. It is more appropriate to do it
in the prep_new_huge_page().
The free_vmemmap_pages_per_hpage(), which indicates how many vmemmap pages
associated with a HugeTLB page can be freed, returns zero for now, which
means the feature is disabled. We will enable it once all the
infrastructure is there.

There are two code path which invoke __populate_section_memmap()
* sparse_init_nid()
* sparse_add_section()
For both case, we are sure the memory range is sub-section aligned.
* we pass PAGES_PER_SECTION to sparse_init_nid()
* we check range by check_pfn_span() before calling
sparse_add_section()
Also, the counterpart of __populate_section_memmap(), we don't do such
calculation and check since the range is checked by check_pfn_span() in
__remove_pages().
Clear the calculation and check to keep it simple and comply with its
counterpart.

There are many instances where vmemap allocation is often switched between
regular memory and device memory just based on whether altmap is available
or not. vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() is used in various platforms to
allocate vmemmap mappings. Lets also enable it to handle altmap based
device memory allocation along with existing regular memory allocations.
This will help in avoiding the altmap based allocation switch in many
places. To summarize there are two different methods to call
vmemmap_alloc_block_buf().
vmemmap_alloc_block_buf(size, node, NULL) /* Allocate from system RAM */
vmemmap_alloc_block_buf(size, node, altmap) /* Allocate from altmap */
This converts altmap_alloc_block_buf() into a static function, drops it's
entry from the header and updates Documentation/vm/memory-model.rst.

Patch series "arm64: Enable vmemmap mapping from device memory", v4.
This series enables vmemmap backing memory allocation from device memory
ranges on arm64. But before that, it enables vmemmap_populate_basepages()
and vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() to accommodate struct vmem_altmap based
alocation requests.
This patch (of 3):
vmemmap_populate_basepages() is used across platforms to allocate backing
memory for vmemmap mapping. This is used as a standard default choice or
as a fallback when intended huge pages allocation fails. This just
creates entire vmemmap mapping with base pages (PAGE_SIZE).
On arm64 platforms, vmemmap_populate_basepages() is called instead of the
platform specific vmemmap_populate() when ARM64_SWAPPER_USES_SECTION_MAPS
is not enabled as in case for ARM64_16K_PAGES and ARM64_64K_PAGES configs.
At present vmemmap_populate_basepages() does not support allocating from
driver defined struct vmem_altmap while trying to create vmemmap mapping
for a device memory range. It prevents ARM64_16K_PAGES and
ARM64_64K_PAGES configs on arm64 from supporting device memory with
vmemap_altmap request.
This enables vmem_altmap support in vmemmap_populate_basepages() unlocking
device memory allocation for vmemap mapping on arm64 platforms with 16K or
64K base page configs.
Each architecture should evaluate and decide on subscribing device memory
based base page allocation through vmemmap_populate_basepages(). Hence
lets keep it disabled on all archs in order to preserve the existing
semantics. A subsequent patch enables it on arm64.

Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.
The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once. For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.
Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.
static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
return (address >> PMD_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}
static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}
These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.
For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.
These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.
This patch (of 12):
The linux/mm.h header includes <asm/pgtable.h> to allow inlining of the
functions involving page |
