[PATCH 0/2] Fixes for hugetlb mapcount at most 1 for shared PMDs

[PATCH 0/2] Fixes for hugetlb mapcount at most 1 for shared PMDs

[Mike Kravetz]

This issue of mapcount in hugetlb pages referenced by shared PMDs was
discussed in [1].  The following two patches address user visible
behavior caused by this issue.

Patches apply to mm-stable as they can also target stable backports.

Ongoing folio conversions cause context conflicts in the second patch
when applied to mm-unstable/linux-next.  I can create separate patch(es)
if people agree with these.

[PATCH 1/2] mm: hugetlb: proc: check for hugetlb shared PMD in /proc/PID/smaps

[Mike Kravetz]

A hugetlb page will have a mapcount of 1 if mapped by multiple processes
via a shared PMD.  This is because only the first process increases the
map count, and subsequent processes just add the shared PMD page to
their page table.

page_mapcount is being used to decide if a hugetlb page is shared or
private in /proc/PID/smaps.  Pages referenced via a shared PMD were
incorrectly being counted as private.

To fix, check for a shared PMD if mapcount is 1.  If a shared PMD is
found count the hugetlb page as shared.  A new helper to check for a
shared PMD is added.

Better:

if (mapcount >= 2 || hugetlb_pmd_shared(pte))
	mss->shared_hugetlb += huge_page_size(hstate_vma(vma));
else
	mss->private_hugetlb += huge_page_size(hstate_vma(vma));

Yes, this looks simple enough. My only concern would be that this
special casing might be required on other places which is hard to
evaluate. I thought PSS reported by smaps would be broken as well but it
seems pss is not really accounted for hugetlb mappings at all.

Have you tried to look into {in,de}creasing the map count of the page when
the the pte is {un}shared for it?

A quick thought is that it would not be too difficult.  It would need
to include the following:
- At PMD share time in huge_pmd_share(),
  Go through all entries in the PMD, and increment map and ref count for
  all referenced pages.  huge_pmd_share is just adding another sharing
  process.
- At PMD unshare time in huge_pmd_unshare(),
  Go through all entries in the PMD, and decrement map and ref count for
  all referenced pages.  huge_pmd_unshare is just removing one sharing
  process.
- At page fault time, check if we are adding a new entry to a shared PMD.
  If yes, add 'num_of_sharing__processes - 1' to the ref and map count.

In each of the above operations, we are holding the PTL lock (which is
really the split/PMD lock) so synchronization should not be an issue.

Although I mention processes sharing the PMD above, it is really mappings/vmas
sharing the PMD.  You could have two mappings of the same object in the same
process sharing PMDs.

I'll code this up and see how it looks.

However, unless you have an objection I would prefer the simple patches
move forward, especially for stable backports.

Yes, the current patch is much simpler and more suitable for stable
backports. If the explicit map count modifications are not all that
terrible then this would sound like a more appropriate long term plan
though.

The approach mentioned above seems to be simple enough.  Patch is below.

I 'tested' with the same method and tests used to measure fault scalabilty
when developing vma based locking [1].  I figured this would be a good stress
of the share, unshare and fault paths.  With the patch, we are doing more
with the page table lock held, so I expected to see a little difference
in scalability, but not as much as actually measured:

				next-20230131
test		instances	unmodified	patched
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Combined faults 24		61888.4		58314.8
Combined forks  24		  157.3		  130.1

These tests could seem a bit like a micro-benchmark targeting these code
paths.  However, I put them together based on the description of a
customer workload that prompted the vma based locking work.  And, performance
of these tests seems to reflect performance of their workloads.

This extra overhead is the cost needed to make shared PMD map counts be
accurate and in line with what is normal and expected.  I think it is
worth the cost.  Other opinions?  Of course, the patch below may have
issues so please take a look.

Subject: [PATCH] hugetlb: Adjust hugetlbp page ref/map counts for PMD sharing

When hugetlb PMDS are shared, the sharing code simply adds the shared
PMD to another processes page table.  It will not update the ref/map
counts of pages referenced by the shared PMD.  As a result, the ref/map
count will only reflect when the page was added to the shared PMD.  Even
though the shared PMD may be in MANY process page tables, ref/map counts
on the pages will only appear to be that of a single process.

Update ref/map counts to take PMD sharing into account.  This is done in
three distinct places:
1) At PMD share time in huge_pmd_share(),
   Go through all entries in the PMD, and increment map and ref count for
   all referenced pages.  huge_pmd_share is just adding another use and
   mapping of each page.
2) At PMD unshare time in huge_pmd_unshare(),
   Go through all entries in the PMD, and decrement map and ref count for
   all referenced pages.  huge_pmd_unshare is just removing one use and
   mapping of each page.
3) When faulting in a new hugetlb page,
   Check if we are adding a new entry to a shared PMD.  If yes, add
   'num_of_sharing__processes - 1' to the ref and map count.

So faults are 6 % slower while forks are hit by 18%. This is quite a
lot and more than I expected. pmd sharing shouldn't really be a common
operation AFAICS. It should only happen with the first mapping in the
pud (so once every 1GB/2MB faults for fully populated mappings).

It would be good to know whether this is purely lock contention based
or the additional work in each #pf and unmapping makes a big impact as
well.

If 18% slowdown really reflects a real workload then this might just be
too expensive I am afraid.

Honestly, I didn't really have much time to think about this very deeply
so I might be missing something here. The patch seems correct to me.
adjust_shared_pmd_page_counts's delta parameter is confusing because it
implies a delta adjustments while it justs want to be "bool increase"
instead.

Thanks for looking into this Mike!

Just want to be perfectly clear on what in being measured in these tests:
- faults program does the following in a loop
  . mmap 250GB hugetlb file PUD_SIZE aligned
  . read fault each hugetlb page (so all on shared PMDs)
  . unmap file
  measurement is how many times this map/read/unmap loop is completed
- fork program does the following
  . mmap 250GB hugetlb file PUD_SIZE aligned
  . read fault 3 pages on different PUDs
  . fork
    . child write faults 3 pages on different PUDs
    . child exits
  measurement is how many children can be created sequentially
For the results above, 24 instances of the fault program are being run
in parallel with 24 instances of the fork program.

I did not do a deep dive into the exact cause of the slowdown.  Do note
how much we are executing the PMD sharing paths in these tests.  I did
not really plan it that way, but was trying to simulate what might
be happening in a customer environment.

On second thought, I tend to agree.  The fixes already done cover all known
exposures from inaccurate counts due to PMD sharing.  If we want to move
forward with the approach here, I would like to:
- Do more analysis in order to explain exactly why this is happening.
- Try to run the proposed patch is a more accurate customer environment
  simulation to determine if slowdown is actually visible.  I do not
  have access to such an environment, so will require cooperation from
  external vendor/customer.

Unless someone thinks we should move forward, I will not push the code
for this approach now.  It will also be interesting to see if this is
impacted at all by the outcome of discussions to perhaps redesign
mapcount.

Yes, I do agree. We might want to extend page_mapcount documentation a
bit though. The comment is explicit about the order-0 pages but a note
about hugetlb and pmd sharing wouldn't hurt. WDYT?

Looks like that comment about 'Mapcount of 0-order page' has been removed in
the latest version of page_mapcount().  It would not surprise me if the calls
to page_mapcount after which we check for shared PMDs will soon be replaced
with calls to folio_mapcount().

Perhaps Matthew has an opinion as to where map counts for hugetlb shared
PMDs might be mentioned.

[PATCH 2/2] migrate: hugetlb: Check for hugetlb shared PMD in node migration

[Mike Kravetz]

migrate_pages/mempolicy semantics state that CAP_SYS_NICE is required
to move pages shared with another process to a different node.
page_mapcount > 1 is being used to determine if a hugetlb page is shared.
However, a hugetlb page will have a mapcount of 1 if mapped by multiple
processes via a shared PMD.  As a result, hugetlb pages shared by multiple
processes and mapped with a shared PMD can be moved by a process without
CAP_SYS_NICE.

To fix, check for a shared PMD if mapcount is 1.  If a shared PMD is
found consider the page shared.

I fixed things up.  queue_folios_hugetlb() is now

static int queue_folios_hugetlb(pte_t *pte, unsigned long hmask,

			       struct mm_walk *walk)
{
	int ret = 0;
#ifdef CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE
	struct queue_pages *qp = walk->private;
	unsigned long flags = (qp->flags & MPOL_MF_VALID);
	struct folio *folio;
	spinlock_t *ptl;
	pte_t entry;

	ptl = huge_pte_lock(hstate_vma(walk->vma), walk->mm, pte);
	entry = huge_ptep_get(pte);
	if (!pte_present(entry))
		goto unlock;
	folio = pfn_folio(pte_pfn(entry));
	if (!queue_folio_required(folio, qp))
		goto unlock;

	if (flags == MPOL_MF_STRICT) {
		/*
		 * STRICT alone means only detecting misplaced folio and no
		 * need to further check other vma.
		 */
		ret = -EIO;
		goto unlock;
	}

	if (!vma_migratable(walk->vma)) {
		/*
		 * Must be STRICT with MOVE*, otherwise .test_walk() have
		 * stopped walking current vma.
		 * Detecting misplaced folio but allow migrating folios which
		 * have been queued.
		 */
		ret = 1;
		goto unlock;
	}

	/*
	 * With MPOL_MF_MOVE, we try to migrate only unshared folios. If it

	 */
	if (flags & (MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL) ||
	    (flags & MPOL_MF_MOVE && folio_estimated_mapcount(folio) == 1 &&
