[PATCH] mm,do_huge_pmd_numa_page: remove unnecessary TLB flushing code

[PATCH] mm,do_huge_pmd_numa_page: remove unnecessary TLB flushing code

[Huang Ying]

Before the commit c5b5a3dd2c1f ("mm: thp: refactor NUMA fault
handling"), the TLB flushing is done in do_huge_pmd_numa_page() itself
via flush_tlb_range().

But after commit c5b5a3dd2c1f ("mm: thp: refactor NUMA fault
handling"), the TLB flushing is done in migrate_pages() as in the
following code path anyway.

do_huge_pmd_numa_page
  migrate_misplaced_page
    migrate_pages

So now, the TLB flushing code in do_huge_pmd_numa_page() becomes
unnecessary.  So the code is deleted in this patch to simplify the
code.  This is only code cleanup, there's no visible performance
difference.

But we save a potential TLB flush here right? Maybe the if statement
is not a common case.

Anyway, LGTM, Thanks. Reviewed-by: Zi Yan <ziy@nvidia.com>

I might be totally wrong, just something that I noticed.

Yes, there is tlb flush in try_to_migrate(), but it seems mmu notifier
invalidate is missed for the THP migration case. I'm not quite sure
why it is not needed, maybe just missed?

So, you may need the below change too:

Do you mean the missed mmu notifier invalidate for the THP migration
case? Yes, I noticed that too. But I'm not sure whether it is intended
or just missed.

Zi Yan is the author for THP migration code, he may have some clue.

From my understand of mmu_notifier document, mmu_notifier_invalidate_range()
is needed only if the PTE is updated to point to a new page or the page pointed
by the PTE is freed. Page migration does not fall into either case.
In addition, in migrate_pages(), more specifically try_to_migrate_one(),
there is a pair of mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() and
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() around the PTE manipulation code, which should
be sufficient to notify secondary TLBs (including KVM) about the PTE change
for page migration. Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks, I think you are correct. By looking into commit 7066f0f933a1
("mm: thp: fix mmu_notifier in migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page()"),
the tlb flush and mmu notifier invalidate were needed since the old
numa fault implementation didn't change PTE to migration entry so it
may cause data corruption due to the writes from GPU secondary MMU.

The refactor does use the generic migration code which converts PTE to
migration entry before copying data to the new page.

The "new page" part of

  a page table entry is updated to point to a new page

is referring to a different physical page, i.e. a different pfn, not a different
struct page.  do_huge_pmd_numa_page() is moving a THP between nodes, thus it's
changing the backing pfn and needs to invalidate secondary MMUs at some point.

That's my understanding as well, based on this blurb from commit 7066f0f933a1.

    The standard PAGE_SIZEd migrate_misplaced_page is less accelerated and
    uses the generic migrate_pages which transitions the pte from
    numa/protnone to a migration entry in try_to_unmap_one() and flushes TLBs
    and all mmu notifiers there before copying the page.

That analysis/justification for removing the invalidate_range() call should be
captured in the changelog.  Confirmation from Andrea would be a nice bonus.

When we flush CPU TLB for a page that may be shared with device/VM TLB,
we will call MMU notifiers for the page to flush the device/VM TLB.
Right?  So when we replaced CPU TLB flushing in do_huge_pmd_numa_page()
with that in try_to_migrate_one(), we will replace the MMU notifiers
calling too.  Do you agree?

Hi, Andrew,

Can you help to add the following text to the end of the original patch
description?

"
The mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() in do_huge_pmd_numa_page() is
deleted too.  Because migrate_pages() takes care of that too when CPU
TLB is flushed.
"

Or, if you prefer the complete patch, it's as below.

Best Regards,
Huang, Ying

Subject: [PATCH -V2] mm,do_huge_pmd_numa_page: remove unnecessary TLB flushing
 code

Before the commit c5b5a3dd2c1f ("mm: thp: refactor NUMA fault
handling"), the TLB flushing is done in do_huge_pmd_numa_page() itself
via flush_tlb_range().

But after commit c5b5a3dd2c1f ("mm: thp: refactor NUMA fault
handling"), the TLB flushing is done in migrate_pages() as in the
following code path anyway.

do_huge_pmd_numa_page
  migrate_misplaced_page
    migrate_pages

So now, the TLB flushing code in do_huge_pmd_numa_page() becomes
unnecessary.  So the code is deleted in this patch to simplify the
code.  This is only code cleanup, there's no visible performance
difference.

The mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() in do_huge_pmd_numa_page() is
deleted too.  Because migrate_pages() takes care of that too when CPU
TLB is flushed.

Done.
