I'd really appreciate people testing this, particularly on
arm32/mips32/ppc32 systems with a 64-bit dma_addr_t.

[PATCH 1/1] mm: Fix struct page layout on 32-bit systems

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

32-bit architectures which expect 8-byte alignment for 8-byte integers
and need 64-bit DMA addresses (arc, arm, mips, ppc) had their struct
page inadvertently expanded in 2019.  When the dma_addr_t was added,
it forced the alignment of the union to 8 bytes, which inserted a 4 byte
gap between 'flags' and the union.

We could fix this by telling the compiler to use a smaller alignment
for the dma_addr, but that seems a little fragile.  Instead, move the
'flags' into the union.  That causes dma_addr to shift into the same
bits as 'mapping', so it would have to be cleared on free.  To avoid
this, insert three words of padding and use the same bits as ->index
and ->private, neither of which have to be cleared on free.

The original intend of placing member @dma_addr here is that it overlap
with @LRU (type struct list_head) which contains two pointers.  Thus, in
case of CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT=y on 32-bit architectures it would
use both pointers.

Thinking more about this, this design is flawed as bit 0 of the first
word is used for compound pages (see PageTail and @compound_head), is
reserved.  We knew DMA addresses were aligned, thus we though this
satisfied that need.  BUT for DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT=y on 32-bit arch the
first word will contain the "upper" part of the DMA addr, which I don't
think gives this guarantee.

I guess, nobody are using this combination?!?  I though we added this
to satisfy TI (Texas Instrument) driver cpsw (code in
drivers/net/ethernet/ti/cpsw*).  Thus, I assumed it was in use?

Matteo notice, I think intent is we can store xdp_mem_info in @xmi.

Could you explain your intent here?
I worry about @index.

As I mentioned in other thread[1] netstack use page_is_pfmemalloc()
(code copy-pasted below signature) which imply that the member @index
have to be kept intact. In above, I'm unsure @index is untouched.

Thinking more about this, this design is flawed as bit 0 of the first
word is used for compound pages (see PageTail and @compound_head), is
reserved.  We knew DMA addresses were aligned, thus we though this
satisfied that need.  BUT for DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT=y on 32-bit arch the
first word will contain the "upper" part of the DMA addr, which I don't
think gives this guarantee.

I guess, nobody are using this combination?!?  I though we added this
to satisfy TI (Texas Instrument) driver cpsw (code in
drivers/net/ethernet/ti/cpsw*).  Thus, I assumed it was in use?

Could you explain your intent here?
I worry about @index.

As I mentioned in other thread[1] netstack use page_is_pfmemalloc()
(code copy-pasted below signature) which imply that the member @index
have to be kept intact. In above, I'm unsure @index is untouched.

The original intend of placing member @dma_addr here is that it overlap
with @LRU (type struct list_head) which contains two pointers.  Thus, in
case of CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT=y on 32-bit architectures it would
use both pointers.

Thinking more about this, this design is flawed as bit 0 of the first
word is used for compound pages (see PageTail and @compound_head), is
reserved.  We knew DMA addresses were aligned, thus we though this

It may be in use, but we've got away with it?  It's relatively rare
that this is going to bite us.  I think what has to happen is:

page is mapped to userspace
task calls get_user_page_fast(), loads the PTE
<preempted>
page is unmapped & freed
page is reallocated to the page_pool
page is DMA mapped to an address that happens to have that bit set
<first task resumes>
task looks for the compound_head() of that PTE, and attempts to bump
the refcount.  *oops*

If it has happened, would it have turned into a bug report?
If we had seen such a bug report, would we have noticed it?

Argh, I read that piece of your message, and then promptly forgot about
it.  I really don't like page_is_pfmemalloc() using the entirety of
page->index for this.  How about we just do what slab does anyway
and use PageActive for page_is_pfmemalloc()?

Basically, we have three aligned dwords here.  We can either alias with
@flags and the first word of @lru, or the second word of @lru and @mapping,
or @index and @private.  @flags is a non-starter.  If we use @mapping,
then you have to set it to NULL before you free it, and I'm not sure
how easy that will be for you.  If that's trivial, then we could use
the layout:

	unsigned long _pp_flags;
	unsigned long pp_magic;
	union {
		dma_addr_t dma_addr;    /* might be one or two words */
		unsigned long _pp_align[2];
	};
	unsigned long pp_pfmemalloc;
	unsigned long xmi;

Argh, I read that piece of your message, and then promptly forgot about
it.  I really don't like page_is_pfmemalloc() using the entirety of
page->index for this.  How about we just do what slab does anyway
and use PageActive for page_is_pfmemalloc()?

Basically, we have three aligned dwords here.  We can either alias with
@flags and the first word of @lru, or the second word of @lru and @mapping,
or @index and @private.  @flags is a non-starter.  If we use @mapping,
then you have to set it to NULL before you free it, and I'm not sure
how easy that will be for you.  If that's trivial, then we could use
the layout:

	unsigned long _pp_flags;
	unsigned long pp_magic;
	union {
		dma_addr_t dma_addr;    /* might be one or two words */
		unsigned long _pp_align[2];
	};
	unsigned long pp_pfmemalloc;
	unsigned long xmi;

I forgot about the munmap path.  That calls zap_page_range() which calls
set_page_dirty() which calls page_mapping().  If we use page->mapping,
that's going to get interpreted as an address_space pointer.

*sigh*.  Foiled at every turn.

I'm kind of inclined towards using two (or more) bits for PageSlab as
we discussed here:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/01000163efe179fe-d6270c58-eaba-482f-a6bd-334667250ef7-000000@email.amazonses.com/

so we have PageKAlloc that's true for PageSlab, PagePool, PageDMAPool,
PageVMalloc, PageFrag and maybe a few other kernel-internal allocations.

Yes, indeed! - And very frustrating.  It's keeping me up at night.
I'm dreaming about 32 vs 64 bit data structures. My fitbit stats tell
me that I don't sleep well with these kind of dreams ;-)

I actually like this idea a lot.  I also think it will solve or remove
Matteo/Ilias'es[2] need to introduce the pp_magic signature.  Ilias do
say[1] that page_pool pages could be used for TCP RX zerocopy, but I
don't think we should "allow" that (meaning page_pool should drop the
DMA-mapping and give up recycling).  I should argue why in that thread.

That said, I think we need to have a quicker fix for the immediate
issue with 64-bit bit dma_addr on 32-bit arch and the misalignment hole
it leaves[3] in struct page.  In[3] you mention ppc32, does it only
happens on certain 32-bit archs?

I'm seriously considering removing page_pool's support for doing/keeping
DMA-mappings on 32-bit arch's.  AFAIK only a single driver use this.

Then you're going to love this ... even with the latest patch, there's
still a problem.  Because dma_addr_t is still 64-bit aligned _as a type_,
that forces the union to be 64-bit aligned (as we already knew and worked
around), but what I'd forgotten is that forces the entirety of struct
page to be 64-bit aligned.  Which means ...

        /* size: 40, cachelines: 1, members: 4 */
        /* padding: 4 */
        /* forced alignments: 1 */
        /* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(8)));

.. that we still have a hole!  It's just moved from being at offset 4
to being at offset 36.

AFAICT it happens on mips32, ppc32, arm32 and arc.  It doesn't happen
on x86-32 because dma_addr_t is 32-bit aligned.

FWIW I already proposed that to Matthew in private a few days ago...
II am not even sure the AM572x has that support.  I'd much prefer getting rid
of it as well, instead of overcomplicating the struct for a device noone is
going to need.

I hate __packed so much I've been checking what it does!

If you add __packed to the dma_addr_t field inside the union
then gcc (at least) removes the pad from before it, but also
'remembers' the alignment that is enforced by other members
of the structure.

So you don't need the extra aligned(sizeof (void *)) since
that is implicit.

So in this case __packed probably has no side effects.
(Unless a 32bit arch has instructions for a 64bit read
that must not be on an 8n+4 boundary and the address is taken).

It also doesn't affect 64bit - since the previous field
forces 64bit alignment.

(If others want to reproduce).  First I could not reproduce on ARM32.
Then I found out that enabling CONFIG_XEN on ARCH=arm was needed to
cause the issue by enabling CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT.

Details below signature.

(If others want to reproduce).  First I could not reproduce on ARM32.
Then I found out that enabling CONFIG_XEN on ARCH=arm was needed to
cause the issue by enabling CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT.

hmmm ... you should be able to provoke it by enabling ARM_LPAE,
which selects PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT, and

config ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT

If you also enable CONFIG_MEMCG or enough options to make
LAST_CPUPID_NOT_IN_PAGE_FLAGS true, you'll end up with another 4-byte
hole at the end.

Adding __packed here will remove the 4 byte hole before the union
and the compiler seems clever enough to know that anything following
a 'long' must also be 'long' aligned.
So you don't get anything horrid like byte accesses.
On 64bit dma_addr will remain 64bit aligned.
On arm32 dma_addr will be 32bit aligned - but forcing two 32bit access
won't make any difference.

So definitely the only simple fix.

Adding __packed here will remove the 4 byte hole before the union
and the compiler seems clever enough to know that anything following
a 'long' must also be 'long' aligned.
So you don't get anything horrid like byte accesses.
On 64bit dma_addr will remain 64bit aligned.
On arm32 dma_addr will be 32bit aligned - but forcing two 32bit access
won't make any difference.

So definitely the only simple fix.

Played with __packed in below patch, and I can confirm it seems to work.

See below patch.  Where I swap32 the dma address to satisfy
page->compound having bit zero cleared. (It is the simplest fix I could
come up with).


[PATCH] page_pool: handling 32-bit archs with 64-bit dma_addr_t

From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com>

Workaround for storing 64-bit DMA-addr on 32-bit machines in struct
page.  The page->dma_addr share area with page->compound_head which
use bit zero to mark compound pages. This is okay, as DMA-addr are
aligned pointers which have bit zero cleared.

In the 32-bit case, page->compound_head is 32-bit.  Thus, when
dma_addr_t is 64-bit it will be located in top 32-bit.  Solve by
swapping dma_addr 32-bit segments.

Played with __packed in below patch, and I can confirm it seems to work.

See below patch.  Where I swap32 the dma address to satisfy
page->compound having bit zero cleared. (It is the simplest fix I could
come up with).


[PATCH] page_pool: handling 32-bit archs with 64-bit dma_addr_t

From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com>

Workaround for storing 64-bit DMA-addr on 32-bit machines in struct
page.  The page->dma_addr share area with page->compound_head which
use bit zero to mark compound pages. This is okay, as DMA-addr are
aligned pointers which have bit zero cleared.

In the 32-bit case, page->compound_head is 32-bit.  Thus, when
dma_addr_t is 64-bit it will be located in top 32-bit.  Solve by
swapping dma_addr 32-bit segments.

otherwise you'll create the problem on ARM that you're avoiding on PPC ...

I think you want to delete the word '_read' from this function name because
you're using it for both read and write.

otherwise you'll create the problem on ARM that you're avoiding on PPC ...

I think you want to delete the word '_read' from this function name because
you're using it for both read and write.

I think I'd use explicit dma_addr_hi and dma_addr_lo and
separate read/write functions just to make absolutely sure
nothing picks up the swapped value.

Isn't it possible to move the field down one long?
This might require an explicit zero - but this is not a common
code path - the extra write will be noise.

The rules on overlaps make be wonder if every 'long'
should be in its own union.
The comments would need to say when each field is used.
It would, at least, make these errors less common.

That doesn't solve the 64bit dma_addr though.

Actually rather that word-swapping dma_addr on 32bit BE
could you swap over the two fields it overlays with.
That might look messy in the .h, but it doesn't require
an accessor function to do the swap - easily missed.

I think this is slightly simpler, and as a bonus code that assumes the

This is clever, I like it!  When reading the code one just have to
remember 'unsigned long' size difference between 64-bit vs 32-bit.
And I assume compiler can optimize the sizeof check out then doable.

This is clever, I like it!  When reading the code one just have to
remember 'unsigned long' size difference between 64-bit vs 32-bit.
And I assume compiler can optimize the sizeof check out then doable.

I checked before/after with the replacement patch that doesn't
have compiler warnings.  On x86, there is zero codegen difference
(objdump -dr before/after matches exactly) for both x86-32 with 32-bit
dma_addr_t and x86-64.  For x86-32 with 64-bit dma_addr_t, the compiler
makes some different inlining decisions in page_pool_empty_ring(),
page_pool_put_page() and page_pool_put_page_bulk(), but it's not clear
to me that they're wrong.

Function                                     old     new   delta
page_pool_empty_ring                         387     307     -80

Have you considered using a PFN type address here? I suspect you
can prove that shifting the DMA address by PAGE_BITS would
make it fit into an 'unsigned long' on all 32-bit architectures with
64-bit dma_addr_t. This requires that page->dma_addr to be
page aligned, as well as fit into 44 bits. I recently went through the
maximum address space per architecture to define a
MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS, and none of them have more than
40 here, presumably the same is true for dma address space.

I wouldn't like to make that assumption.  I've come across IOMMUs (maybe

I'd be surprised to find such an IOMMU on a 32-bit machine, given that
the main reason for using an IOMMU on these is to avoid the 32-bit
address limit in DMA masters.

I see that parisc32 does not enable 64-bit dma_addr_t, while powerpc32
does not support any IOMMU, so it wouldn't be either of those two.

I do remember some powerpc systems that encode additional flags
(transaction ordering, caching, ...) into the high bits of the physical
address in the IOTLB, but not the virtual address used for looking
them up.

Ok, fair enough. As long as there are enough bits in this branch of
'struct page', I suppose it is the safe choice.

Won't some compiler/option combinations generate an
error for the '<< 32' when dma_addr_t is 32bit?

You might need to use a (u64) cast.

So, why do we even do this crappy overlay of a dma address?  This just
all seems like a giant hack.  Random subsystems should not just steal
a few struct page fields as that just turns into the desasters like the
one we've seen here or probably something worse next time.

The page pool API was using page->private in the past to store these kind of
info. That caused a problem to begin with, since it would fail  on 32-bit
systems with 64bit DMA.  We had a similar discussion on the past but decided
struct page is the right place to store that [1].

Another advantage is that we can now use the information from the networking 
subsystem and enable recycling of SKBs and SKB fragments, by using the stored 
metadata of struct page [2].

The page pool API was using page->private in the past to store these kind of
info. That caused a problem to begin with, since it would fail  on 32-bit
systems with 64bit DMA.  We had a similar discussion on the past but decided

Subject: [PATCH] mm: Fix struct page layout on 32-bit systems

32-bit architectures which expect 8-byte alignment for 8-byte integers
and need 64-bit DMA addresses (arc, arm, mips, ppc) had their struct
page inadvertently expanded in 2019.  When the dma_addr_t was added,
it forced the alignment of the union to 8 bytes, which inserted a 4 byte
gap between 'flags' and the union.

We could fix this by telling the compiler to use a smaller alignment
for the dma_addr, but that seems a little fragile.  Instead, move the
'flags' into the union.  That causes dma_addr to shift into the same
bits as 'mapping', which causes problems with page_mapping() called from
set_page_dirty() in the munmap path.  To avoid this, insert three words
of padding and use the same bits as ->index and ->private, neither of
which have to be cleared on free.

However, page->index is currently used to indicate page_is_pfmemalloc.
Move that information to bit 1 of page->lru (aka compound_head).  This
has the same properties; it will be overwritten by callers who do
not care about pfmemalloc (as opposed to using a bit in page->flags).

32-bit architectures which expect 8-byte alignment for 8-byte integers
and need 64-bit DMA addresses (arc, arm, mips, ppc) had their struct
page inadvertently expanded in 2019.  When the dma_addr_t was added,
it forced the alignment of the union to 8 bytes, which inserted a 4 byte
gap between 'flags' and the union.

We could fix this by telling the compiler to use a smaller alignment
for the dma_addr, but that seems a little fragile.  Instead, move the
'flags' into the union.  That causes dma_addr to shift into the same
bits as 'mapping', which causes problems with page_mapping() called from
set_page_dirty() in the munmap path.  To avoid this, insert three words
of padding and use the same bits as ->index and ->private, neither of
which have to be cleared on free.

However, page->index is currently used to indicate page_is_pfmemalloc.
Move that information to bit 1 of page->lru (aka compound_head).  This
has the same properties; it will be overwritten by callers who do
not care about pfmemalloc (as opposed to using a bit in page->flags).

This all looks horribly fragile and is bound to get broken again.
Are there two problems?
1) The 'folio' structure needs to match 'rcu' part of the page
   so that it can use the same rcu list to free items.
2) Various uses of 'struct page' need to overlay fields to save space.

For (1) the rcu bit should probably be a named structure in an
anonymous union - probably in both structures.

For (2) is it worth explicitly defining the word number for each field?
So you end up with something like:
#define F(offset, member) struct { long _pad_##offset[offset]; member; }
struct page [
	union {
		struct page_rcu;
		unsigned long flags;
		F(1, unsigned long xxx);
		F(2, unsigned long yyy);
	etc.

Isn't that 6 words?
