[PATCH 00 of 34] Transparent Hugepage support #14

[PATCH 00 of 34] Transparent Hugepage support #14

[Andrea Arcangeli]

Hello,

This is ported to latest upstream. This update also adds a max_ptes_none sysfs
control for khugepaged. It also registers khugepaged on vma_merge to allow
khugepaged to collapse hugepages as the app extends vmas on already faulted
areas. It adds a test_and_set_bit in __khugepaged_enter (set_bit wasn't
enough), found by review only.

	http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/patches/v2.6/2.6.34-rc1/transparent-hugepage-14.gz

Let me know if this is ok, thanks,
Andrea

[PATCH 03 of 34] alter compound get_page/put_page

[Andrea Arcangeli]

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com>

Alter compound get_page/put_page to keep references on subpages too, in order
to allow __split_huge_page_refcount to split an hugepage even while subpages
have been pinned by one of the get_user_pages() variants.

[PATCH 04 of 34] update futex compound knowledge

[Andrea Arcangeli]

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com>

Futex code is smarter than most other gup_fast O_DIRECT code and knows about
the compound internals. However now doing a put_page(head_page) will not
release the pin on the tail page taken by gup-fast, leading to all sort of
refcounting bugchecks. Getting a stable head_page is a little tricky.

page_head = page is there because if this is not a tail page it's also the
page_head. Only in case this is a tail page, compound_head is called, otherwise
it's guaranteed unnecessary. And if it's a tail page compound_head has to run
atomically inside irq disabled section __get_user_pages_fast before returning.
Otherwise ->first_page won't be a stable pointer.

Disableing irq before __get_user_page_fast and releasing irq after running
compound_head is needed because if __get_user_page_fast returns == 1, it means
the huge pmd is established and cannot go away from under us.
pmdp_splitting_flush_notify in __split_huge_page_splitting will have to wait
for local_irq_enable before the IPI delivery can return. This means
__split_huge_page_refcount can't be running from under us, and in turn when we
run compound_head(page) we're not reading a dangling pointer from
tailpage->first_page. Then after we get to stable head page, we are always safe
to call compound_lock and after taking the compound lock on head page we can
finally re-check if the page returned by gup-fast is still a tail page. in
which case we're set and we didn't need to split the hugepage in order to take
a futex on it.

[PATCH 13 of 34] special pmd_trans_* functions

[Andrea Arcangeli]

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com>

These returns 0 at compile time when the config option is disabled, to allow
gcc to eliminate the transparent hugepage function calls at compile time
without additional #ifdefs (only the export of those functions have to be
visible to gcc but they won't be required at link time and huge_memory.o can be
not built at all).

_PAGE_BIT_UNUSED1 is never used for pmd, only on pte.

[PATCH 15 of 34] add pmd mangling functions to x86

[Andrea Arcangeli]

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com>

Add needed pmd mangling functions with simmetry with their pte counterparts.
pmdp_freeze_flush is the only exception only present on the pmd side and it's
needed to serialize the VM against split_huge_page, it simply atomically clears
the present bit in the same way pmdp_clear_flush_young atomically clears the
accessed bit (and both need to flush the tlb to make it effective, which is
mandatory to happen synchronously for pmdp_freeze_flush).

[PATCH 17 of 34] pte alloc trans splitting

[Andrea Arcangeli]

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com>

pte alloc routines must wait for split_huge_page if the pmd is not
present and not null (i.e. pmd_trans_splitting). The additional
branches are optimized away at compile time by pmd_trans_splitting if
the config option is off. However we must pass the vma down in order
to know the anon_vma lock to wait for.

[PATCH 20 of 34] add pmd_huge_pte to mm_struct

[Andrea Arcangeli]

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com>

This increase the size of the mm struct a bit but it is needed to preallocate
one pte for each hugepage so that split_huge_page will not require a fail path.
Guarantee of success is a fundamental property of split_huge_page to avoid
decrasing swapping reliability and to avoid adding -ENOMEM fail paths that
would otherwise force the hugepage-unaware VM code to learn rolling back in the
middle of its pte mangling operations (if something we need it to learn
handling pmd_trans_huge natively rather being capable of rollback). When
split_huge_page runs a pte is needed to succeed the split, to map the newly
splitted regular pages with a regular pte.  This way all existing VM code
remains backwards compatible by just adding a split_huge_page* one liner. The
memory waste of those preallocated ptes is negligible and so it is worth it.

[PATCH 21 of 34] split_huge_page_mm/vma

[Andrea Arcangeli]

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com>

split_huge_page_mm/vma compat code. Each one of those would need to be expanded
to hundred of lines of complex code without a fully reliable
split_huge_page_mm/vma functionality.

[PATCH 22 of 34] split_huge_page paging

[Andrea Arcangeli]

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com>

Paging logic that splits the page before it is unmapped and added to swap to
ensure backwards compatibility with the legacy swap code. Eventually swap
should natively pageout the hugepages to increase performance and decrease
seeking and fragmentation of swap space. swapoff can just skip over huge pmd as
they cannot be part of swap yet. In add_to_swap be careful to split the page
only if we got a valid swap entry so we don't split hugepages with a full swap.

In theory we could split pages before isolating them during the lru scan, but
for khugepaged to be safe, I'm relying on either mmap_sem write mode, or
PG_lock taken, so split_huge_page has to run either with mmap_sem read/write
mode or PG_lock taken. Calling it from isolate_lru_page would make locking more
complicated, in addition to that split_huge_page would deadlock if called by
__isolate_lru_page because it has to take the lru lock to add the tail pages.

[PATCH 25 of 34] _GFP_NO_KSWAPD

[Andrea Arcangeli]

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com>

Transparent hugepage allocations must be allowed not to invoke kswapd or any
other kind of indirect reclaim (especially when the defrag sysfs is control
disabled). It's unacceptable to swap out anonymous pages (potentially
anonymous transparent hugepages) in order to create new transparent hugepages.
This is true for the MADV_HUGEPAGE areas too (swapping out a kvm virtual
machine and so having it suffer an unbearable slowdown, so another one with
guest physical memory marked MADV_HUGEPAGE can run 30% faster if it is running
memory intensive workloads, makes no sense). If a transparent hugepage
allocation fails the slowdown is minor and there is total fallback, so kswapd
should never be asked to swapout memory to allow the high order allocation to
succeed.

[PATCH 27 of 34] transparent hugepage core

[Andrea Arcangeli]

Lately I've been working to make KVM use hugepages transparently
without the usual restrictions of hugetlbfs. Some of the restrictions
I'd like to see removed:

1) hugepages have to be swappable or the guest physical memory remains
   locked in RAM and can't be paged out to swap

2) if a hugepage allocation fails, regular pages should be allocated
   instead and mixed in the same vma without any failure and without
   userland noticing

3) if some task quits and more hugepages become available in the
   buddy, guest physical memory backed by regular pages should be
   relocated on hugepages automatically in regions under
   madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) (ideally event driven by waking up the
   kernel deamon if the order=HPAGE_PMD_SHIFT-PAGE_SHIFT list becomes
   not null)

4) avoidance of reservation and maximization of use of hugepages whenever
   possible. Reservation (needed to avoid runtime fatal faliures) may be ok for
   1 machine with 1 database with 1 database cache with 1 database cache size
   known at boot time. It's definitely not feasible with a virtualization
   hypervisor usage like RHEV-H that runs an unknown number of virtual machines
   with an unknown size of each virtual machine with an unknown amount of
   pagecache that could be potentially useful in the host for guest not using
   O_DIRECT (aka cache=off).

hugepages in the virtualization hypervisor (and also in the guest!) are
much more important than in a regular host not using virtualization, becasue
with NPT/EPT they decrease the tlb-miss cacheline accesses from 24 to 19 in
case only the hypervisor uses transparent hugepages, and they decrease the
tlb-miss cacheline accesses from 19 to 15 in case both the linux hypervisor and
the linux guest both uses this patch (though the guest will limit the addition
speedup to anonymous regions only for now...).  Even more important is that the
tlb miss handler is much slower on a NPT/EPT guest than for a regular shadow
paging or no-virtualization scenario. So maximizing the amount of virtual
memory cached by the TLB pays off significantly more with NPT/EPT than without
(even if there would be no significant speedup in the tlb-miss runtime).

The first (and more tedious) part of this work requires allowing the VM to
handle anonymous hugepages mixed with regular pages transparently on regular
anonymous vmas. This is what this patch tries to achieve in the least intrusive
possible way. We want hugepages and hugetlb to be used in a way so that all
applications can benefit without changes (as usual we leverage the KVM
virtualization design: by improving the Linux VM at large, KVM gets the
performance boost too).

The most important design choice is: always fallback to 4k allocation
if the hugepage allocation fails! This is the _very_ opposite of some
large pagecache patches that failed with -EIO back then if a 64k (or
similar) allocation failed...

Second important decision (to reduce the impact of the feature on the
existing pagetable handling code) is that at any time we can split an
hugepage into 512 regular pages and it has to be done with an
operation that can't fail. This way the reliability of the swapping
isn't decreased (no need to allocate memory when we are short on
memory to swap) and it's trivial to plug a split_huge_page* one-liner
where needed without polluting the VM. Over time we can teach
mprotect, mremap and friends to handle pmd_trans_huge natively without
calling split_huge_page*. The fact it can't fail isn't just for swap:
if split_huge_page would return -ENOMEM (instead of the current void)
we'd need to rollback the mprotect from the middle of it (ideally
including undoing the split_vma) which would be a big change and in
the very wrong direction (it'd likely be simpler not to call
split_huge_page at all and to teach mprotect and friends to handle
hugepages instead of rolling them back from the middle). In short the
very value of split_huge_page is that it can't fail.

The collapsing and madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) part will remain separated
and incremental and it'll just be an "harmless" addition later if this
initial part is agreed upon. It also should be noted that locking-wise
replacing regular pages with hugepages is going to be very easy if
compared to what I'm doing below in split_huge_page, as it will only
happen when page_count(page) matches page_mapcount(page) if we can
take the PG_lock and mmap_sem in write mode. collapse_huge_page will
be a "best effort" that (unlike split_huge_page) can fail at the
minimal sign of trouble and we can try again later. collapse_huge_page
will be similar to how KSM works and the madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) will
work similar to madvise(MADV_MERGEABLE).

The default I like is that transparent hugepages are used at page fault time.
This can be changed with /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled. The
control knob can be set to three values "always", "madvise", "never" which
mean respectively that hugepages are always used, or only inside
madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) regions, or never used.
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag instead controls if the hugepage
allocation should defrag memory aggressively "always", only inside "madvise"
regions, or "never".

The pmd_trans_splitting/pmd_trans_huge locking is very solid. The
put_page (from get_user_page users that can't use mmu notifier like
O_DIRECT) that runs against a __split_huge_page_refcount instead was a
pain to serialize in a way that would result always in a coherent page
count for both tail and head. I think my locking solution with a
compound_lock taken only after the page_first is valid and is still a
PageHead should be safe but it surely needs review from SMP race point
of view. In short there is no current existing way to serialize the
O_DIRECT final put_page against split_huge_page_refcount so I had to
invent a new one (O_DIRECT loses knowledge on the mapping status by
the time gup_fast returns so...). And I didn't want to impact all
gup/gup_fast users for now, maybe if we change the gup interface
substantially we can avoid this locking, I admit I didn't think too
much about it because changing the gup unpinning interface would be
invasive.

If we ignored O_DIRECT we could stick to the existing compound
refcounting code, by simply adding a
get_user_pages_fast_flags(foll_flags) where KVM (and any other mmu
notifier user) would call it without FOLL_GET (and if FOLL_GET isn't
set we'd just BUG_ON if nobody registered itself in the current task
mmu notifier list yet). But O_DIRECT is fundamental for decent
performance of virtualized I/O on fast storage so we can't avoid it to
solve the race of put_page against split_huge_page_refcount to achieve
a complete hugepage feature for KVM.

Swap and oom works fine (well just like with regular pages ;). MMU
notifier is handled transparently too, with the exception of the young
bit on the pmd, that didn't have a range check but I think KVM will be
fine because the whole point of hugepages is that EPT/NPT will also
use a huge pmd when they notice gup returns pages with PageCompound set,
so they won't care of a range and there's just the pmd young bit to
check in that case.

NOTE: in some cases if the L2 cache is small, this may slowdown and
waste memory during COWs because 4M of memory are accessed in a single
fault instead of 8k (the payoff is that after COW the program can run
faster). So we might want to switch the copy_huge_page (and
clear_huge_page too) to not temporal stores. I also extensively
researched ways to avoid this cache trashing with a full prefault
logic that would cow in 8k/16k/32k/64k up to 1M (I can send those
patches that fully implemented prefault) but I concluded they're not
worth it and they add an huge additional complexity and they remove all tlb
benefits until the full hugepage has been faulted in, to save a little bit of
memory and some cache during app startup, but they still don't improve
substantially the cache-trashing during startup if the prefault happens in >4k
chunks.  One reason is that those 4k pte entries copied are still mapped on a
perfectly cache-colored hugepage, so the trashing is the worst one can generate
in those copies (cow of 4k page copies aren't so well colored so they trashes
less, but again this results in software running faster after the page fault).
Those prefault patches allowed things like a pte where post-cow pages were
local 4k regular anon pages and the not-yet-cowed pte entries were pointing in
the middle of some hugepage mapped read-only. If it doesn't payoff
substantially with todays hardware it will payoff even less in the future with
larger l2 caches, and the prefault logic would blot the VM a lot. If one is
emebdded transparent_hugepage can be disabled during boot with sysfs or with
the boot commandline parameter transparent_hugepage=0 (or
transparent_hugepage=2 to restrict hugepages inside madvise regions) that will
ensure not a single hugepage is allocated at boot time. It is simple enough to
just disable transparent hugepage globally and let transparent hugepages be
allocated selectively by applications in the MADV_HUGEPAGE region (both at page
fault time, and if enabled with the collapse_huge_page too through the kernel
daemon).

This patch supports only hugepages mapped in the pmd, archs that have
smaller hugepages will not fit in this patch alone. Also some archs like power
have certain tlb limits that prevents mixing different page size in the same
regions so they will not fit in this framework that requires "graceful
fallback" to basic PAGE_SIZE in case of physical memory fragmentation.
hugetlbfs remains a perfect fit for those because its software limits happen to
match the hardware limits. hugetlbfs also remains a perfect fit for hugepage
sizes like 1GByte that cannot be hoped to be found not fragmented after a
certain system uptime and that would be very expensive to defragment with
relocation, so requiring reservation. hugetlbfs is the "reservation way", the
point of transparent hugepages is not to have any reservation at all and
maximizing the use of cache and hugepages at all times automatically.

Some performance result:

[PATCH 34 of 34] khugepaged

[Andrea Arcangeli]

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com>

Add khugepaged to relocate fragmented pages into hugepages if new hugepages
become available. (this is indipendent of the defrag logic that will have to
make new hugepages available)

The fundamental reason why khugepaged is unavoidable, is that some
memory can be fragmented and not everything can be relocated. So when
a virtual machine quits and releases gigabytes of hugepages, we want
to use those freely available hugepages to create huge-pmd in the
other virtual machines that may be running on fragmented memory, to
maximize the CPU efficiency at all times. The scan is slow, it takes
nearly zero cpu time, except when it copies data (in which case it
means we definitely want to pay for that cpu time) so it seems a good
tradeoff.

In addition to the hugepages being released by other process releasing memory,
we have the strong suspicion that the performance impact of potentially
defragmenting hugepages during or before each page fault could lead to more
performance inconsistency than allocating small pages at first and having them
collapsed into large pages later... if they prove themselfs to be long lived
mappings (khugepaged scan is slow so short lived mappings have low probability
to run into khugepaged if compared to long lived mappings).

Re: [PATCH 00 of 34] Transparent Hugepage support #14

[Christoph Lameter]

I am still opposed to this. The patchset results in compound pages be
managed in 4k segments. The approach so far was that a compound
page is simply a page struct referring to a larger linear memory
segment. The compound state is exclusively modified in the first
page struct which allows an easy conversion of code to deal with compound
pages since the concept of handling a single page struct is preserved. The
main difference between the handling of a 4K page and a compound pages
page struct is that the compound flag is set.

Here compound pages have refcounts in each 4k segment. Critical VM path
can no longer rely on the page to stay intact since there is this on the
fly conversion. The on the fly "atomic" conversion requires various forms
of synchronization and modifications to basic VM primitives like pte
management and page refcounting.

I would recommend that the conversion between 2M and 4K page work with
proper synchronization with all those handling references to the page.
Codepaths handling huge pages should not rely on on the fly conversion but
properly handle the various sizes. In most cases size does not matter
since the page state is contained in a single page struct regardless of
size. This patch here will cause future difficulties in making code handle
compound pages.

Transparent huge page support better be introduced gradually starting f.e.
with the support of 2M pages for anonymous pages.

There is no change at all to pte management related to this. Please
stick to facts.

What you're commenting is the "compound_lock" and the change to two
functions only: get_page and put_page (put_page has to serialize
against split_huge_page_refcount and it uses the "compound_lock"
per-head-page bit spinlock to achieve it), and this change only
applies to TailPages and won't add any overhead to the fast path for
non-compound pages and no change for PageHead pages either.

The only thing that tries to run get_page or put_page on a TailPage is
gup and gup_fast. Nothing else. And it's mostly needed to avoid
altering gup_fast/gup API while still preventing to split hugepages
across GUP. The reason why I went to this extra-length to be backwards
compatible with gup/gup-fast is to avoid the patch to escalate from
<40 patches to maybe >100 or more.

It's troublesome enough already to merge this right now in this
non-intrusive <40 patches fully backwards compatible form, you got to
think how I could merge this if I went ahead and break everything in
gup.

> I would recommend that the conversion between 2M and 4K page work with

It's not doable without breaking every gup user, because the gup API
allows them to run put_page on the tail page without adding any further
synchronization at all! So the only way to avoid breaking every driver
out there and most of kernel core, is to have the "proper
synchronization with all those handling references to the page"
_inside_ put_page itself, and this is what compound_lock achieves in a
fully scalar way by implementing it as a bit spinlock on the PageHead.

This is definitely the long term plan, and in fact if we will
eventually manage to remove split_huge_page _completely_, we could
remove the compound_lock and return to the current get_page/put_page
implementation of compound pages. The only point of compound_lock is
to serialize put_page against split_huge_page_refcount so if the
latter disappear, the compound_lock will disappear too and we won't
have to take refcounts on tail pages in get_page either (which as said
above is already zerocost for all regular pages and can't affect the
fast path at all).

But while this suggestion of yours totally misses the point of why
split_huge_page, that this to avoid sending a patchset that is hugely
bigger in size and much harder to audit and merge without much risk,
than what I sent.

My approach here is to allow incremental support for hugepages, just
like when SMP was first introduced and many paths started to call
lock_kernel() instead of being properly SMP threaded with spinlocks. I
know you disagree with this comparison but personally I think it's the
perfect comparison and it's an _identical_ scenario and I think it's
very appropriate to repeat it here.

> Transparent huge page support better be introduced gradually starting f.e.

"introduced gradually starting with the support of 2M pages for
anonymous pages" is exactly what my patch does. What you're suggesting
in the previous part of the email is the opposite!

Handling hugepages natively everywhere and removing both compound_lock
and split_huge_page would then require the swapcache to handle 2M
pages. swapcache is sharing 100% of pagecache code so then pagecache
would need to handle 2M pages natively too. Hence the moment we remove
the split_huge_page and the moment we require swapcache to handle 2M
natively without splitting the hugepage first like my patch does, the
whole thing escalates way beyond anonymous pages, like you seem to
agree that it's a good idea to start with.

Last but not the least your design that you advocate for that will
escalate and explode everywhere all over the VM (like if the 2.0
kernel missed lock_kernel()) will perform exactly the same for KVM.
We already get 100% of the benefit with the first mostly self
contained <40 patches and as I shown in the benchmark I posted a few
days ago it's only NPT/EPT that absolutely requires hugepages, host
gets a speedup too of course, but orders of magnitude smaller than
virtualization. And things like transparent hugepages are really one
of the points where the KVM design shines boosting host and guest
cumulatively and avoiding reinventing a fairly complex wheel.

I think it's a no brainer (and you also obviously agree above) that we
need to "introduce gradually transparent hugepages by starting with
anonymous memory", so it's hard to see how anyone could prefer
something that will escalate and explode non gradually over the whole
VM, compared to what I proposed that remains self contained and allows
gradual extension of VM awareness of hugepages prioritizing on what is
more important to achieve first for applications.

Thanks a lot for the review and I welcome different opinions of
course.

Andrea

Look at the patches. They add synchronization to pte operations.

These are bloating inline VM primitives and add new twists on
syncronization of pages. They add useless complexity at a very fundamental
layer of the VM.

What is wrong with gup and gup_fast? They mimick the traversal of the page
tables by the MMU. If you update in the right sequence then there wont be
an issue.

Its pretty bold to call this patchset non-intrusive. Not sure why you
think you have to break gup. Certainly works fine for page migration.

This implies that the current page migration approaches are broken? The
simple solution here is not to convert the page if there is a unresolved
reference. You are only in this bind because you insists on an "atomic"
conversion between 2M and 4k pages instead of using the existing code that
tracks down references to pages etc.

Then why introdoce the crap in the first place! Get rid of your

Messing around with the basic refcounting and VM primitives is no risk?

That support is possible without refcounts on tail pages and all the other
syncronization twiddles.

You can convert a 2M page to 4k pages without messing up the
basic refcounting and synchronization by following the way things are done
in other parts of the kernel.

As far as I can tell there is no need for large scale patches as you
suggest. In fact it seems that the patches would be much smaller if
you would use the existing code that deals with page movement. Have a look
at Mel's defragmentation patches?

The whole point is that it's fundamentally unavoidable and not
specific to any of split_huge_page, compound_lock or
get_page/put_page!

Yes I've to sometime take the page_table_lock (only when pmd is huge,
and that is a lockless check, so it's just 1 more branch from a
cacheline guaranteed guaranteed already in l1 hot cache in turn
definitely unmeasurable in microbenchmarks too) but even if we remove
split_huge_page completely you will still have to take a lock, and it
can't be the PT lock. The PT lock is indexed on the pte, and the pte
doesn't exist if the pmd is huge! It's not new locking at all, it's
just that when the pmd is huge we've to serialize the thread
concurrent modifications to it, with something less granular than the
PT lock because it doesn't exist for huge pmd...

Yes sure, we can later add a PMD lock that works like the PT lock does
today (with PT lock I mean the pte_offset_map_lock). When there is no
pte that lock doesn't exist, that's all about it.

It's misleading at the very least, to blame on split_huge_page for the
fact I had to make the pte mandling any more complex. The very same
page_table_lock and pmd_huge checks were there, well before I had to
modify put_page and add the compound_lock. Initially gup was calling
split_huge_page, so there was no need of compound_lock, but we need
O_DIRECT with virtualization, O_DIRECT is an absolute must and we
can't split pages across it.

With mmu notifier users (like KVM page fault), I could trivially avoid
having to introduce compound_lock while still preventing them having
to call split_huge_page in gup, by adding a gup_foll(foll_flags)
without FOLL_GET set, which would avoid them wasting time taking
refcounts on any page. With mmu notifier it's a total waste to pin
pages (well xpmem does some trick to try to avoid flushing secondary
ptes and secondary tlbs synchronously but that has other issues and
it's not what KVM and GRU are doing, so KVM and GRU would definitely
get a microoptimization from a gup_variant that won't get_page at
all!). In addition to avoiding the need of compound_lock.

Problem with O_DIRECT is that I couldn't use mmu notifier to prevent
it to take the pin on the page, because there is no way to interrupt
DMA synchronously before mmu_notifier_invalidate_* returns... So I had
to add compound_lock and keep gup API backwards compatible and have
the proper serialization happen _only_ for PageTail inside put_page.

Useless? I think I already explained why compound_lock is _useful_ and
what we gain from it (avoid breaking every gup user out there and/or
avoid removing split_huge_page in turn avoiding breaking every piece
of VM code that walks pagetables out there, in turn making transparent
hugepage self contained and possible to introduce ""_gradually_
starting from anonymous memory"" like you said was good idea at the
end of in previous email).

gup and gup_fast (if we don't split_huge_page during the follow_page
pagtable walk which is what I did initially to start but it's
unacceptable as it makes O_DIRECT with -drive cache=off split guest
NPT hugepages on the I/O memory source/destination) will prevents
split_huge_page to be able to adjust the refcount of the subpages,
unless we serialize put_page against split_huge_page and we keep track
of the individual gup refcounts on the subpages. Which is what
the compound_lock and the get_page/put_page changes achieve in a self
contained manner without spreading all over the drivers and the VM.

page migration won't convert a compound page to a not compound page in
the page structure in place. this is not page migration, this is about
converting a page structure from PageCompound to not-page
compound. It's all trivial on the pagetable side, what is not trivial
is the refcounting created by GUP. The gup caller, at any later time
will call put_page on a random subpage, so we've to adjust the
refcount for subpages inside __split_huge_page_refcount, depending on
which tailpage was returned by gup.

Migration will bail out if gup is running. split_huge_page basic
design is that it can't fail. So it can't bail out. And we don't want
to call split_huge_page during follow_page before gup returns the
page. That would also solve it, I did it initially but it's
unacceptable to split hugepages across GUP.

It's not fixation, it's about trying to merge <40 patches compounding
to 5000 lines of code, and being able to verify their correctness for
the reviewers. And later expand in more places, starting from remap
and mprotect. While already getting total benefit in the workload that
benefits most from hugepages!

If you can't see the _huge_ value of it, it's pointless to keep
discussing this. I guess if it was you the 2.0 kernel maintainer,
lock_kernel would have never happened... or maybe you would have
designed a CPU back in 1995 to run at 2ghz on 45nm technology.

Developments of technology happens _gradually_. Pretending an huge
step forward that may take years before it can go productive because
it requires so much manpower to audit and verify its correctness and
nail down the bugs and bisect where the crash comes from, is
unrealistic and it's not how things happens here. Sure if you've to
build a bridge you are forced to go to the final stage immediately
because it can't be changed ever again. But for us it's different and
not taking advantage of being able to edit the code, and using the
same engineering approach you would take while building a bridge,
looks silly to me.

It's definitely zero risk if compared to what you're proposing.

It's possible only if gup calls split_huge_page or if we change the
gup api (i.e. if we change every single put_page that releases a pin
taken by gup). Just identifying the put_page will be a tremendous
error-prone pain. It's real pity that we didn't:

#define put_gup_page(page) put_page(page)

and require the gup users to use that instead of raw put_page. That
would have allowed to reasonably identify the gup users. In fact I
considered trying to find all put_page that released a gup pin
initially, try that yourself... I recommend to start with direct-io.c.

They tried it to fix the race between fork and O_DIRECT by identifying
the put_page pin release points and that resulted in crashes and no
patch has been merged so far to fix it.

I think that is a race that is much better fixed in the core, as the
locking is more scalar in the core. I still value a lot to identify
all put_page that releases gup pins, so that shall happen regardless
of how we eventually fix the race between fork and O_DIRECT, I'm
saying it here just to proof how not trivial and error prone that task
is. Not remotely comparable to the few liner change to get_page/put_page.

No other place of the kernel does anything remotely comparable to
split_huge_page.

defrag, migration they all can fail, split_huge_page cannot. The very
simple reason split_huge_page cannot fail is this: if I have to do
anything more than a one liner to make mremap, mprotect and all the
rest, then I prefer to take your non-practical more risky design. The
moment you have to alter some very inner pagetable walking function to
handle a split_huge_page error return, you'll already have to recraft
the code in a big enough way, that you better make it hugepage
aware. Making it hugepage aware is like 10 times more difficult and
error prone and hard to test, than handling a split_huge_page error
retval, but still in 10 files fixed for the error retval, will be
worth 1 file converted not to call split_huge_page at all. That
explains very clearly my decision to make split_huge_page not fail,
and make sure all next efforts will be spent in removing
split_huge_page and not in handling an error retval for a function
that shouldn't have been called in the first place!

You can take a refcount *before* breaking up a 2M page then you dont have
to fear the put_page.

Keep a reference count in the head page and a pointer to the subpage? Page
can only be broken up if all page references of the 2M page can be
accounted for. This implies no "atomic" breakup but this way it does not
require changes to synchronization.

Its the same principle: Account for all the references, stop new
references from being established and then replace the page / convert
references.

That is the basic crux here. Do not require that it cannot fail. Its a bad
move and results in a mess.

No its not. I am proposing to *keep* the existing syncronization methods.
Use what is there. Do not invent new synchronization.

We already have 2M pmd handling in the kernel and can consider huge pmd
entries while walking the page tables! Go incrementally use what
is there.

That only works if you merely read the tables.  If the VMA gets broken
up in the middle of a huge page, you definitely have to map ptes again.

And as already said, allowing it to happen always-succeeding and
atomically allows to switch users step by step.

That sure sounds more incremental to me than being required to do
non-trivial adjustments to all the places at once!

Yes then follow the established system for remapping stuff.

It results in a volatility in the page table entries that requires new
synchronization procedures. It also increases the difficulty in
establishing a reliable state of the pages / page tables for
operations since there is potentially on-the-fly atomic conversion
wizardry going on.

> That sure sounds more incremental to me than being required to do

You do not need to do this all at once. Again the huge page subsystem has
been around for years and we have established mechanisms to move/remap.
There nothing hindering us from implementing huge page -> regular page
conversion using the known methods or also implementing explicit huge page
support in more portions of the kernel.

I followed exactly what __pte_alloc does already. When pmds can't go
away after they're established, the only place that uses that locking
is __pte_alloc. Now obviously more stuff will have to use that _same_
locking, because it's not true anymore that a pmd can't go away after
it's established _if_ it's huge.

I also made sure a pmd can't become huge without mmap_sem and anon_vma
rmap lock, so that we can lockless check if pmd is huge, and if it's
not, we just take the legacy 4k paths. That is how it guarantees there
is no measurable slowdown unless you actively use 2M pages and in turn
you get a huge boost (like 50% faster) which outweights any overhead
introduced by having to take the page_table_lock in the pmd_huge new
paths.

It's just pmd_huge -> page_table_lock, not pmd_huge -> call pmd_offset
lockless and take the PT lock.

page_table_lock for pmd_huge acts the _exact_ same way of the PT lock
for the not pmd_huge path.

Again: split_huge_page has nothing to do with the pte or pmd locking.

Especially obvious in the case your proposed alternate design will
still use one form of split_huge_page but one that can fail if the
page is under gup (which would practically make it unusable anywhere
but swap and even in swap it would lead to potential livelocks in
unsolvable oom as it's not just slow-unfrequent-IO calling gup).

Indeed hugetlbfs also adds page_table_lock around every pmd
manipulation. But personally I prefer you focus on __pte_alloc as
transparent hugepage has to mirror exactly the pte locking to be
clean, regardless of hugetlbfs (in this case hugetlbfs happen to use
the same locking of __pte_alloc and transparent hugepage huge_memory.c).

It can fail and be retried. Breaking up a page is not a performance
critical thing. As you have shown this occurs rarely.

This is not comparable.  The existing remapping code does not have to deal

I really fail to see how.  Right now, when you want a stable entry, you
take the pte lock.  This is exactly the same for huge page entries.

Migration happens on the fly as well, you can just hide it better for
cases like mremap(), which is unaffected by the actual entries it copies.

It becomes only visible at sites affected by the entries themselves,
which are not that many, the fault handler e.g.  It is much easier to
keep that stuff centralized.

But pmd splitting affects everyone sensitive to the page table structure
itself and that ends up being everyone, well, walking page tables.

I see the real complexity in actually dealing with dynamically changing
page table structure and none of the existing code does that.

No it does not happen on the fly. It happens only when you can account for
all references that current exist for the page to be migrated. Then you
change all the references at once. The mechanism ensures that there is no
one else operating on the page.

And if one of the references is taken by GUP migration fails and you
can try later or wait for I/O. This is not the case for
split_huge_page, we don't fail or wait there.

Of course we run into this before too, and the locking in fact already
exists and you probably added it yourself when introducing the more
scalare PT lock for the pte.

For the pmd we always used the page_table_lock and I kept using
it. Except that before it was only necessary in __pte_alloc (see
mainline), now it's needed in more places because the pmd can be
modified as it points to actual pages that can go away, and not only
to ptes.

If you take it _before_ it will go into the head page regardless of
which subpage was returned by gup. We need to know which subpages are
under DMA. The pin has to go to the tail pages or head page depending
on the physical address that was requested by gup. To fix this we need
at the very least to change gup api to ask for hugepages which it
can't right now because it'd break all drivers.

"can only broken up". See my last sentence of my previous reply to
figure out exactly why we're not ok if "page cannot be broken up".

besides even if we add a error retval, we can't have mprotect/mremap
fail at most swapout could be deferred because "page cannot be broken
up" but even that is risky and I've been extra careful not to require
any memory allocation or sleeping lock in split_huge_page to make it
ideal to use in swap path without risking any functional regression
whatsoever.

Allowing it to fail would result in a mess. Obviously I wasn't clear
enough in the last sentence of my previous mail so I'll have to
repeate: any effort in handling the failure (which in some case it
can't be handled as syscalls can't fail just because a page is 2M)
should instead be spent to _remove_ the split_huge_page call.

> No its not. I am proposing to *keep* the existing syncronization methods.

You don't see the huge value of the invention. When you go around
implementing your own split_huge_page that will fail, you might see
it (or we can compare the size of the two patches then, knowing that
I add 1 line to mremap and you add hundreds or maybe you can't use
your split_huge_page there at all forcing you to handle 2M pages
immediately from the start). And mremap is not the big deal, it's that
if you can't use it in mremap you practically won't be able to use it
anywhere except in swap, where you will introduce a nasty unknown and
potential livelock or deadlock.

There's no such thing unless you talk about the hugetlbfs paths. In
the core paths that the only thing I care about in transparent
hugepage, pmd is only checked to be present. If it's present it can't
go away. This is not true anymore as it can point to user pages and
not ptes. I am definitely reusing the same synchronization for ptes
that already is used by __pte_alloc which is the only bit that
requires synchronization right now, to atomically check if the pmd is
still not present, before overwriting it.

Best of all, I had to add zero atomic ops and just 1 branch in already
hot l1 cache (and no writes to the l1 cache either, just 1 more read)
in order to add the pagefault slow path for huge pmd. So unless you
actively take advantage of hugepages, the page_table_lock locking will
be zero cost and in the future nothing prevents us to add a more
scalar PMD lock like it exists for the pte (but keep in mind it's much
512 times less important for PMD than it is for the PTE).

A 2M page needs to be treated as a single page. Under DMA would mean that
the whole of the page is considered under DMA! Sectioning off the 2M page
causes all sorts of problems. The page state needs to be complete in a
single page struct.

We can go to sleep in mprotect and mremap and wait for the breaking up to
be successful.

Its not advisable to do this. Splitting the huge page may cause surprises
to another kernel function that is operating on the assumption that this
is a 2M page. If you do this then new synchronization methods are
required.

Its not much use to have fake 2M pages that can splinter below you at any
time. In order to take full advantage of huge pages you need to be able
to do VM operations on them and for that these things need to be treated
as a single unit.

Waiting for I/O in mprotect is functionally unacceptable to
me. Userland would notice altered behavior.

If a delay is "altered behavior" then we should no longer run reclaim
because it "alters" the behavior of VM functions.

You're comparing the speed of ram with speed of disk. If why it's not
acceptable to me isn't clear try booting with mem=100m and I'm sure
you'll get it.

Are you talking about the wait for writeback to be complete? Dirty pages
can be migrated. With some effort you could avoid the writeback complete
wait since you are not actually moving the page.

It seems we're derailing, let's try to go back to the context. You
said we can avoid get_page/put_page changes if we do like
migration. Migration bails out if there's a gup reference on the
page. It's _gup_ not writeback we're talking about. gup is used for
I/O too like O_DIRECT (which is mandatory feature for virtual
machines, if not for databases). So the I/O I'm talking about is the
one that any driver or subsystem can do after calling gup. And it's
not a lock on the page or a writeback bitflag, but the gup reference
that we're waiting the I/O to complete, in order to be released. Not
to tell drivers like old KVM pre-mmu-notifier that may never release
the gup reference (these days any driver keeping gup references for
"indefinite" time has to use mmu notifier to play nicely with the VM
but there will always be temporary I/O at the speed-of-disk and
hanging mprotect and mremap on that isn't ok with me).
