[PATCH 1/4] mm/rmap: fix comments left over from recent changes

[PATCH 1/4] mm/rmap: fix comments left over from recent changes

[Hugh Dickins]

Parallel developments in mm/rmap.c have left behind some out-of-date
comments: try_to_migrate_one() also accepts TTU_SYNC (already commented
in try_to_migrate() itself), and try_to_migrate() returns nothing at all.

TTU_SPLIT_FREEZE has just been deleted, so reword the comment about it in
mm/huge_memory.c; and TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS was removed in 5.11, so delete
the "recently referenced" comment from try_to_unmap_one() (once upon a
time the comment was near the removed codeblock, but they drifted apart).

[PATCH 2/4] mm/rmap: fix old bug: munlocking THP missed other mlocks

[Hugh Dickins]

The kernel recovers in due course from missing Mlocked pages: but there
was no point in calling page_mlock() (formerly known as try_to_munlock())
on a THP, because nothing got done even when it was found to be mapped in
another VM_LOCKED vma.

It's true that we need to be careful: Mlocked accounting of pte-mapped
THPs is too difficult (so consistently avoided); but Mlocked accounting
of only-pmd-mapped THPs is supposed to work, even when multiple mappings
are mlocked and munlocked or munmapped.  Refine the tests.

There is already a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageDoubleMap) in page_mlock(), so
page_mlock_one() does not even have to worry about that complication.

(I said the kernel recovers: but would page reclaim be likely to split
THP before rediscovering that it's VM_LOCKED? I've not followed that up.)

I think, yes, page reclaim will split the THP prematurely in this case.

Well, that's true that it should be fine to mlock only-pmd-mapped THPs,
but the refined check doesn't gurantee that the page is not mapped with
PTEs. !PageDoubleMap(page) only guarantees that the page in not mapped
with both PMDs and PTEs at the same time. For anon pages, we clear the
flag when the last PMD mapping is gone and only PTEs left.

Do I miss some detail here? Maybe we exclude anon pages here somehow?
I don't see it.

Yes, you're right, Kirill: thanks a lot for catching that.
PageDoubleMap: certainly not my favourite page flag!

And now that I've seen follow_trans_huge_pmd(), its comments, and its
goto skip_mlock on a PageAnon with compound_mapcount != 1, the right
fix for page_mlock() seems to be to skip over Anon THP altogether.

Here's a v2 of just this patch (others remain good): what do you think?

Whereas page_mlock_one() could not be reviewed without fixing this first.

[PATCH 3/4] mm/rmap: fix new bug: premature return from page_mlock_one()

[Hugh Dickins]

In the unlikely race case that page_mlock_one() finds VM_LOCKED has been
cleared by the time it got page table lock, page_vma_mapped_walk_done()
must be called before returning, either explicitly, or by a final call
to page_vma_mapped_walk() - otherwise the page table remains locked.

[PATCH 4/4] mm/rmap: try_to_migrate() skip zone_device !device_private

I know nothing about zone_device pages and !device_private pages; but
if try_to_migrate_one() will do nothing for them, then it's better that
try_to_migrate() filter them first, than trawl through all their vmas.

I know a bit about device private pages but not so much other variants.
try_to_migrate_one() will work with private pages so in general that check
still looks good.

I just realized this. Currently unmap_page() just unmaps file pages
when splitting THP. But it seems this may cause some trouble for page
cache speculative get for the below case IIUC. Am I missing something?

    CPU A                  CPU B
unmap_page()
...
freeze refcount
                              find_get_page() ->
                                  __page_cache_add_speculative() ->
                                      VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_count(page)
== 0, page); //When CONFIG_TINY_RCU is enabled


The race is acceptable, I think we could replace the VM_BUG_ON to
page_ref_add_unless(), just like !CONFIG_TINY_RCU case.
