[RFC PATCH v2 0/2] mm: remove extra ZONE_DEVICE struct page refcount

[RFC PATCH v2 0/2] mm: remove extra ZONE_DEVICE struct page refcount

[Ralph Campbell]

Matthew Wilcox, Ira Weiny, and others have complained that ZONE_DEVICE
struct page reference counting is ugly because they are "free" when the
reference count is one instead of zero. This leads to explicit checks
for ZONE_DEVICE pages in places like put_page(), GUP, THP splitting, and
page migration which have to adjust the expected reference count when
determining if the page is isolated or idle. This is my attempt to make
ZONE_DEVICE pages be free when the reference count is zero and removing
the special cases.

I'm only sending this out as a RFC since I'm not that familiar with the
DAX, PMEM, XEN, and other uses of ZONE_DEVICE struct pages allocated
with devm_memremap_pages() or memremap_pages() but my best reading of
the code looks like it might be OK. I could use help testing these
configurations.
I have been able to successfully run xfstests on ext4 with the memmap
kernel boot option to simulate pmem.

One of the big changes in v2 is that devm_memremap_pages() and
memremap_pages() now return the struct pages' reference count set to
zero instead of one. Normally, get_page() will VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() if
page->_refcount is zero. I didn't see any such warnings running the
xfstests with dax/pmem but I'm not clear how the zero to one reference
count is handled.

Other changes in v2:
Rebased to Linux-5.9.0-rc6 to include pmem fixes.
I added patch 1 to introduce a page refcount helper for ext4 and xfs as
suggested by Christoph Hellwig.
I also applied Christoph Hellwig's other suggested changes for removing
the devmap_managed_key, etc.

[PATCH 1/2] ext4/xfs: add page refcount helper

[Ralph Campbell]

There are several places where ZONE_DEVICE struct pages assume a reference
count == 1 means the page is idle and free. Instead of open coding this,
add a helper function to hide this detail.

[PATCH 2/2] mm: remove extra ZONE_DEVICE struct page refcount

[Ralph Campbell]

ZONE_DEVICE struct pages have an extra reference count that complicates the
code for put_page() and several places in the kernel that need to check the
reference count to see that a page is not being used (gup, compaction,
migration, etc.). Clean up the code so the reference count doesn't need to
be treated specially for ZONE_DEVICE.

Why convert the check from "== 1" to "<= 1" and then back to the ==
operator in the next patch? A refcount < 1 in this path before your
other change is a bug.

Mostly I was thinking > 1 was busy so <= 1 is idle. And yes, <=0 is never
supposed to happen. Checking for == 1 is probably better though.

I still think a litte helper macro would be nice here:

#define dax_wait_page(_inode, _page, _wait_cb)				\
  	___wait_var_event(&(_page)->_refcount,				\
		atomic_read(&(_page)->_refcount) == 1,			\
		TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, dax_layout_is_idle_page(_page),	\
		TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, 0, 0, _wait_cb(_inode));

Doesn't test_hmm also need to reinitialize the refcount before freeing
the page in hmm_dmirror_exit?

The MEMORY_DEVICE_PRIVATE cases loses the sanity check that the
page_free method is set.

Otherwise this looks good.

OK, I'll add it in v3.

The dmirror_zero_page is dead code, it isn't used. There is a patch queued in
linux-mm which removes it. Besides, it was allocated with alloc_page() so it
isn't a device private struct page.

I'll add that back into memremap_pages() with other sanity checks in v3.

The powerpc change looks good. Passes a quick sanity test of
booting/rebooting a secure guest on Power.
