Subject[PATCH v3 0/6] Support for contiguous pte hugepages
Message-ID<tJVIZ-6iD-3@gated-at.bofh.it>
Hi,

This patchset updates the hugetlb code to fix issues arising from
contiguous pte hugepages (such as on arm64). These are the generic
code changes and the arm64 support based on these patches will be
posted separately. The patches are based on v4.12-rc2. Previous
related postings can be found at [0], [1] and [2].

The patches fall into two categories -

* Patches 1-2 address issues with gup

* Patches 3-6 relate to passing a size argument to hugepage helpers to
  disambiguate the size of the referred page. These changes are
  required to enable arch code to properly handle swap entries for
  contiguous pte hugepages.

  The changes to huge_pte_offset() (patch 3) touch multiple
  architectures but I've managed to minimise these changes for the
  other affected functions - huge_pte_clear() and set_huge_pte_at().

These patches gate the enabling of contiguous hugepages support on
arm64 which has been requested for systems using !4k page granule.

Feedback welcome.

Thanks,
Punit

v2 -> v3
* Added gup fixes

v1 -> v2

* switch huge_pte_offset() to use size instead of hstate for
  consistency with the rest of the api
* Expand the series to address huge_pte_clear() and set_huge_pte_at()

RFC -> v1

* Fixed a missing conversion of huge_pte_offset() prototype to add
  hstate parameter. Reported by 0-day.

#1646901 — [PATCH v3 1/6] mm, gup: Remove broken VM_BUG_ON_PAGE compound check for hugepages

FromPunit Agrawal <punit.agrawal@arm.com>
Date2017-05-22 15:40 +0200
Subject[PATCH v3 1/6] mm, gup: Remove broken VM_BUG_ON_PAGE compound check for hugepages
Message-ID<tJVJ0-6iD-17@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1646899
From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

When operating on hugepages with DEBUG_VM enabled, the GUP code checks the
compound head for each tail page prior to calling page_cache_add_speculative.
This is broken, because on the fast-GUP path (where we don't hold any page
table locks) we can be racing with a concurrent invocation of
split_huge_page_to_list.

split_huge_page_to_list deals with this race by using page_ref_freeze to
freeze the page and force concurrent GUPs to fail whilst the component
pages are modified. This modification includes clearing the compound_head
field for the tail pages, so checking this prior to a successful call
to page_cache_add_speculative can lead to false positives: In fact,
page_cache_add_speculative *already* has this check once the page refcount
has been successfully updated, so we can simply remove the broken calls
to VM_BUG_ON_PAGE.

In reply to#1646899
Using set_pte_at() does not do the right thing when putting down
HWPOISON swap entries for hugepages on architectures that support
contiguous ptes.

Fix this problem by using set_huge_swap_pte_at() which was introduced to
fix exactly this problem.

#1646907 — [PATCH v3 2/6] mm, gup: Ensure real head page is ref-counted when using hugepages

FromPunit Agrawal <punit.agrawal@arm.com>
Date2017-05-22 15:40 +0200
Subject[PATCH v3 2/6] mm, gup: Ensure real head page is ref-counted when using hugepages
Message-ID<tJVJ0-6iD-27@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1646899
When speculatively taking references to a hugepage using
page_cache_add_speculative() in gup_huge_pmd(), it is assumed that the
page returned by pmd_page() is the head page. Although normally true,
this assumption doesn't hold when the hugepage comprises of successive
page table entries such as when using contiguous bit on arm64 at PTE or
PMD levels.

This can be addressed by ensuring that the page passed to
page_cache_add_speculative() is the real head or by de-referencing the
head page within the function.

We take the first approach to keep the usage pattern aligned with
page_cache_get_speculative() where users already pass the appropriate
page, i.e., the de-referenced head.

Apply the same logic to fix gup_huge_[pud|pgd]() as well.

Hm. Okay. But I'm kinda surprise that this is the only place that need to
be adjusted.

Have you validated all other pmd_page() use-cases?

I came across the gup issues were found while investigating a failing
test from mce-tests.

I think the problem here is not due to the use of pmd_page() but because
page_cache_[add|get]_speculative() don't ensure they ref-count the head
page as is done in get_page().

Having said that, I had a quick look at the other uses of pmd_page() -

Quite a few of them are followed by an explicit BUG_ON() to check that
the page returned is a head page. All other instances seem to be dealing
with transparent hugepages where contiguous hugepages are not supported.

I don't see any call sites that ring alarm bells.

Did you have any particular part of the code in mind where pmd_page()
usage might be a problem?

Thanks,
Punit

#1646911 — [PATCH v3 5/6] mm/hugetlb: Introduce set_huge_swap_pte_at() helper

FromPunit Agrawal <punit.agrawal@arm.com>
Date2017-05-22 15:40 +0200
Subject[PATCH v3 5/6] mm/hugetlb: Introduce set_huge_swap_pte_at() helper
Message-ID<tJVJ0-6iD-35@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1646899
set_huge_pte_at(), an architecture callback to populate hugepage ptes,
does not provide the range of virtual memory that is targeted. This
leads to ambiguity when dealing with swap entries on architectures that
support hugepages consisting of contiguous ptes.

Fix the problem by introducing an overridable helper that is called when
populating the page tables with swap entries. The size of the targeted
region is provided to the helper to help determine the number of entries
to be updated.

Provide a default implementation that maintains the current behaviour.

#1647128 — [PATCH v3.1 5/6] mm/hugetlb: Introduce set_huge_swap_pte_at() helper

FromPunit Agrawal <punit.agrawal@arm.com>

Subject[PATCH v3.1 5/6] mm/hugetlb: Introduce set_huge_swap_pte_at() helper
Message-ID<tJYxb-83k-3@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1646911
set_huge_pte_at(), an architecture callback to populate hugepage ptes,
does not provide the range of virtual memory that is targeted. This
leads to ambiguity when dealing with swap entries on architectures that
support hugepages consisting of contiguous ptes.

Fix the problem by introducing an overridable helper for architectures
needing this support. The helper is called when populating the page
tables with swap entries. The size of the targeted region is provided to
the helper to help determine the number of entries to be updated.

Provide a default implementation that maintains the current behaviour.
