[PATCH v2 0/3] Migrate device coherent pages on get_user_pages()

[PATCH v2 0/3] Migrate device coherent pages on get_user_pages()

[Alistair Popple]

Device coherent pages represent memory on a coherently attached device such
as a GPU which is usually under the control of a driver. These pages should
not be pinned as the driver needs to be able to move pages as required.
Currently this is enforced by failing any attempt to pin a device coherent
page.

A similar problem exists for ZONE_MOVABLE pages. In that case though the
pages are migrated instead of causing failure. There is no reason the
kernel can't migrate device coherent pages so this series implements
migration for device coherent pages so the same strategy of migrate and pin
can be used.

This series depends on the series "Add MEMORY_DEVICE_COHERENT for coherent
device memory mapping"[1] which is in linux-next-20220204 and should apply
cleanly to that.

[PATCH v2 1/3] migrate.c: Remove vma check in migrate_vma_setup()

[Alistair Popple]

migrate_vma_setup() checks that a valid vma is passed so that the page
tables can be walked to find the pfns associated with a given address
range. However in some cases the pfns are already known, such as when
migrating device coherent pages during pin_user_pages() meaning a valid
vma isn't required.

[PATCH v2 2/3] mm/gup.c: Migrate device coherent pages when pinning instead of failing

[Alistair Popple]

Currently any attempts to pin a device coherent page will fail. This is
because device coherent pages need to be managed by a device driver, and
pinning them would prevent a driver from migrating them off the device.

However this is no reason to fail pinning of these pages. These are
coherent and accessible from the CPU so can be migrated just like
pinning ZONE_MOVABLE pages. So instead of failing all attempts to pin
them first try migrating them out of ZONE_DEVICE.

[PATCH v2 3/3] tools: add hmm gup test for long term pinned device pages

[Alistair Popple]

From: Alex Sierra <alex.sierra@amd.com>

The intention is to test device coherent type pages that have been
called through get user pages with PIN_LONGTERM flag set. These pages
should get migrated back to normal system memory.

[PATCH v2 3/3] tools: add hmm gup test for long term pinned device pages

[Alistair Popple]

From: Alex Sierra <alex.sierra@amd.com>

The intention is to test device coherent type pages that have been
called through get user pages with PIN_LONGTERM flag set. These pages
should get migrated back to normal system memory.

For ordinary migrate_pages(), we'll unpin all pages and return 0 so the
caller will retry pinning by walking the page tables again.

Why can't we apply the same mechanism here? This "let's avoid another
walk" looks unnecessary complicated to me, but I might be wrong.

There's no reason we couldn't. I figured we have the page in the right spot
anyway so it was easy to do, and looking at this rebased on top of Christoph's
ZONE_DEVICE refcount simplification I'm not sure it would be any simpler
anyway.

It would remove the call to try_grab_page(), but we'd still have to return an
error on migration failures whilst also ensuring we putback any non-device
pages that may have been isolated. I might have overlooked something though,
so certainly happy for suggestions.

There's no reason we couldn't. I figured we have the page in the right spot
anyway so it was easy to do, and looking at this rebased on top of Christoph's
ZONE_DEVICE refcount simplification I'm not sure it would be any simpler
anyway.

It would remove the call to try_grab_page(), but we'd still have to return an
error on migration failures whilst also ensuring we putback any non-device
pages that may have been isolated. I might have overlooked something though,
so certainly happy for suggestions.

Staring at the code, I was wondering if we could either

* build a second list of device coherent pages to migrate and call a
  migrate_device_pages() bulk function
* simply use movable_page_list() and teach migrate_pages() how to handle
  them.

I'd really appreciate as little special casing as possible for the ever
growing list of new DEVICE types all over the place. E.g., just staring
at fork even before the new device coherent made my head spin.

I did consider that approach. The problem is zone device pages are not LRU
pages. In particular page->lru is not available to add the page to a list, and
as an external API and internally migrate_pages() relies heavily on moving
pages between lists.

That's fair. We could pull the checks for device pages out into a self
contained function (eg. check_and_migrate_device_pages()) called before
check_and_migrate_movable_pages(). The down side of that is we'd always have an
extra loop over all the pages just to scan for device pages, but perhaps that's
not a concern?

I did consider that approach. The problem is zone device pages are not LRU
pages. In particular page->lru is not available to add the page to a list, and
as an external API and internally migrate_pages() relies heavily on moving
pages between lists.

That's fair. We could pull the checks for device pages out into a self
contained function (eg. check_and_migrate_device_pages()) called before
check_and_migrate_movable_pages(). The down side of that is we'd always have an
extra loop over all the pages just to scan for device pages, but perhaps that's
not a concern?

Hi Alistair and all,

Here's a possible issue (below) that I really should have spotted the
first time around, sorry for this late-breaking review. And maybe it's
actually just my misunderstanding, anyway.

OK...but now gup_flags can no longer be used as a guide for how to
release these pages, right? In other words, up until this point,
FOLL_PIN meant "call unpin_user_page() in order to release". However,
now this page must be released via put_page().

...and here, for example, we are still trusting gup_flags to decide how
to release the pages.

This reminds me: out of the many things to monitor, the FOLL_PIN counts
in /proc/vmstat are especially helpful, whenever making changes to code
that deals with this:

	nr_foll_pin_acquired
	nr_foll_pin_released

...and those should normally be equal to each other when "at rest".

This is the source page (head). We are unpinning it because we can't migrate a
pinned page, however we still need a reference on it for migrate_vma hence the
get_page followed by unpin. In the non-FOLL_PIN case we already have a
reference from gup.

migrate_device_page() will return a new page that has been correctly pinned
with gup_flags by try_grab_page(). Therefore this page can still be released
with unpin_user_page() or put_page() as appropriate for the given gup_flags.

The reference we had on the source page (head) always gets dropped in
migrate_vma_finalize().

OK. Good.

The above would be good to have in a comment, right around here, imho.
Because we have this marvelous mix of references for migration (get_page())
and other, and it's a bit hard to see that it's all correct without a
hint or two.

I see, so I assume there is no way we could add them to a list? We could
use a temporary array we'd try allocating once we stumble over over such
a device page that needs migration.

The you'd teach is_pinnable_page() to reject
is_dev_private_or_coherent_page() and special case
is_dev_private_or_coherent_page() under the "if
(!is_pinnable_page(head))" check.

You'd grab an additional reference and add them to the temp array. The
you'd just proceed as normal towards the end of the function (reverting
the pin/ref from the input array) and would try to migrate all device
pages in the temp array just before migrate_pages() --
migrate_device_pages(), properly handling/indicating if either migration
path fails.

Instead of putback_movable_pages() on the list you'd had
unref_device_pages() and supply the array.


Just a thought to limit the impact and eventually make it a bit nicer to
read, avoiding modifications of the input array.

I mean, they are movable ... just not "ordinarily" movable, so it smells
like this logic belongs into check_and_migrate_movable_pages() :)

Was the above check left out intentionally? If so, then it needs a
commit description note. And maybe even a separate patch, because it
changes the behavior.

If you do want to change the behavior:

* The kerneldoc comment above this function supports such a change: it
requires returning 0 for the case of zero pages requested. So your
change would bring the comments into alignment with the code.

* I don't think memset deals properly with a zero length input arg, so
it's probably better to return 0, before that point.
