Hi all,

This patch series will free some vmemmap pages(struct page structures)
associated with each hugetlbpage when preallocated to save memory.

In order to reduce the difficulty of the first version of code review.
From this version, we disable PMD/huge page mapping of vmemmap if this
feature was enabled. This accutualy eliminate a bunch of the complex code
doing page table manipulation. When this patch series is solid, we cam add
the code of vmemmap page table manipulation in the future.

The struct page structures (page structs) are used to describe a physical
page frame. By default, there is a one-to-one mapping from a page frame to
it's corresponding page struct.

The HugeTLB pages consist of multiple base page size pages and is supported
by many architectures. See hugetlbpage.rst in the Documentation directory
for more details. On the x86 architecture, HugeTLB pages of size 2MB and 1GB
are currently supported. Since the base page size on x86 is 4KB, a 2MB
HugeTLB page consists of 512 base pages and a 1GB HugeTLB page consists of
4096 base pages. For each base page, there is a corresponding page struct.

Within the HugeTLB subsystem, only the first 4 page structs are used to
contain unique information about a HugeTLB page. HUGETLB_CGROUP_MIN_ORDER
provides this upper limit. The only 'useful' information in the remaining
page structs is the compound_head field, and this field is the same for all
tail pages.

By removing redundant page structs for HugeTLB pages, memory can returned to
the buddy allocator for other uses.

When the system boot up, every 2M HugeTLB has 512 struct page structs which
size is 8 pages(sizeof(struct page) * 512 / PAGE_SIZE).

The value of page->compound_head is the same for all tail pages. The first
page of page structs (page 0) associated with the HugeTLB page contains the 4
page structs necessary to describe the HugeTLB. The only use of the remaining
pages of page structs (page 1 to page 7) is to point to page->compound_head.
Therefore, we can remap pages 2 to 7 to page 1. Only 2 pages of page structs
will be used for each HugeTLB page. This will allow us to free the remaining
6 pages to the buddy allocator.

Here is how things look after remapping.

When a HugeTLB is freed to the buddy system, we should allocate 6 pages for
vmemmap pages and restore the previous mapping relationship.

Apart from 2MB HugeTLB page, we also have 1GB HugeTLB page. It is similar
to the 2MB HugeTLB page. We also can use this approach to free the vmemmap
pages.

In this case, for the 1GB HugeTLB page, we can save 4088 pages(There are
4096 pages for struct page structs, we reserve 2 pages for vmemmap and 8
pages for page tables. So we can save 4088 pages). This is a very substantial
gain. On our server, run some SPDK/QEMU applications which will use 1024GB
hugetlbpage. With this feature enabled, we can save ~16GB(1G hugepage)/~11GB
(2MB hugepage, the worst case is 10GB while the best is 12GB) memory.

Because there are vmemmap page tables reconstruction on the freeing/allocating
path, it increases some overhead. Here are some overhead analysis.

1) Allocating 10240 2MB hugetlb pages.

   a) With this patch series applied:
   # time echo 10240 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages

   real     0m0.166s
   user     0m0.000s
   sys      0m0.166s

   # bpftrace -e 'kprobe:alloc_fresh_huge_page { @start[tid] = nsecs; } kretprobe:alloc_fresh_huge_page /@start[tid]/ { @latency = hist(nsecs - @start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]); }'
   Attaching 2 probes...

   @latency:
   [8K, 16K)           8360 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@|
   [16K, 32K)          1868 |@@@@@@@@@@@                                         |
   [32K, 64K)            10 |                                                    |
   [64K, 128K)            2 |                                                    |

   b) Without this patch series:
   # time echo 10240 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages

   real     0m0.066s
   user     0m0.000s
   sys      0m0.066s

   # bpftrace -e 'kprobe:alloc_fresh_huge_page { @start[tid] = nsecs; } kretprobe:alloc_fresh_huge_page /@start[tid]/ { @latency = hist(nsecs - @start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]); }'
   Attaching 2 probes...

   @latency:
   [4K, 8K)           10176 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@|
   [8K, 16K)             62 |                                                    |
   [16K, 32K)             2 |                                                    |

   Summarize: this feature is about ~2x slower than before.

2) Freeing 10240 2MB hugetlb pages.

   a) With this patch series applied:
   # time echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages

   real     0m0.004s
   user     0m0.000s
   sys      0m0.002s

   # bpftrace -e 'kprobe:__free_hugepage { @start[tid] = nsecs; } kretprobe:__free_hugepage /@start[tid]/ { @latency = hist(nsecs - @start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]); }'
   Attaching 2 probes...

   @latency:
   [16K, 32K)         10240 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@|

   b) Without this patch series:
   # time echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages

   real     0m0.077s
   user     0m0.001s
   sys      0m0.075s

   # bpftrace -e 'kprobe:__free_hugepage { @start[tid] = nsecs; } kretprobe:__free_hugepage /@start[tid]/ { @latency = hist(nsecs - @start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]); }'
   Attaching 2 probes...

   @latency:
   [4K, 8K)            9950 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@|
   [8K, 16K)            287 |@                                                   |
   [16K, 32K)             3 |                                                    |

   Summarize: The overhead of __free_hugepage is about ~2-4x slower than before.
              But according to the allocation test above, I think that here is
	      also ~2x slower than before.

              But why the 'real' time of patched is smaller than before? Because
	      In this patch series, the freeing hugetlb is asynchronous(through
	      kwoker).

Although the overhead has increased, the overhead is not significant. Like Mike
said, "However, remember that the majority of use cases create hugetlb pages at
or shortly after boot time and add them to the pool. So, additional overhead is
at pool creation time. There is no change to 'normal run time' operations of
getting a page from or returning a page to the pool (think page fault/unmap)".

Todo:
  1. Free all of the tail vmemmap pages
     Now for the 2MB HugrTLB page, we only free 6 vmemmap pages. we really can
     free 7 vmemmap pages. In this case, we can see 8 of the 512 struct page
     structures has beed set PG_head flag. If we can adjust compound_head()
     slightly and make compound_head() return the real head struct page when
     the parameter is the tail struct page but with PG_head flag set.

     In order to make the code evolution route clearer. This feature can can be
     a separate patch after this patchset is solid.
  2. Support for other architectures (e.g. aarch64).
  3. Enable PMD/huge page mapping of vmemmap even if this feature was enabled.

Changelog in v7:
  1. Rebase to linux-next 20201130
  2. Do not use basepage mapping for vmemmap when this feature is disabled.
     Thanks to Oscar and Barry.
  3. Rework some patchs.
     [PATCH v6 08/16] mm/hugetlb: Free the vmemmap pages associated with each hugetlb page
     [PATCH v6 10/16] mm/hugetlb: Allocate the vmemmap pages associated with each hugetlb page

Changelog in v6:
  1. Disable PMD/huge page mapping of vmemmap if this feature was enabled.
  2. Simplify the first version code.

Changelog in v5:
  1. Rework somme comments and code in the [PATCH v4 04/21] and [PATCH v4 05/21].
     Thanks to Mike and Oscar's suggestions.

Changelog in v4:
  1. Move all the vmemmap functions to hugetlb_vmemmap.c.
  2. Make the CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP default to y, if we want to
     disable this feature, we should disable it by a boot/kernel command line.
  3. Remove vmemmap_pgtable_{init, deposit, withdraw}() helper functions.
  4. Initialize page table lock for vmemmap through core_initcall mechanism.

  Thanks for Mike and Oscar's suggestions.

Changelog in v3:
  1. Rename some helps function name. Thanks Mike.
  2. Rework some code. Thanks Mike and Oscar.
  3. Remap the tail vmemmap page with PAGE_KERNEL_RO instead of
     PAGE_KERNEL. Thanks Matthew.
  4. Add some overhead analysis in the cover letter.
  5. Use vmemap pmd table lock instead of a hugetlb specific global lock.

Changelog in v2:
  1. Fix do not call dissolve_compound_page in alloc_huge_page_vmemmap().
  2. Fix some typo and code style problems.
  3. Remove unused handle_vmemmap_fault().
  4. Merge some commits to one commit suggested by Mike.

Move bootmem info registration common API to individual bootmem_info.c
for later patch use. This is just code movement without any functional
change.

In the later patch, we will use {get,put}_page_bootmem() to initialize
the page for vmemmap or free vmemmap page to buddy. So move them out of
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE. This is just code movement without any
functional change.

The purpose of introducing HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP is to configure
whether to enable the feature of freeing unused vmemmap associated
with HugeTLB pages. And this is just for dependency check. Now only
support x86.

Every HugeTLB has more than one struct page structure. The 2M HugeTLB
has 512 struct page structure and 1G HugeTLB has 4096 struct page
structures. We __know__ that we only use the first 4(HUGETLB_CGROUP_MIN_ORDER)
struct page structures to store metadata associated with each HugeTLB.

There are a lot of struct page structures(8 page frames for 2MB HugeTLB
page and 4096 page frames for 1GB HugeTLB page) associated with each
HugeTLB page. For tail pages, the value of compound_head is the same.
So we can reuse first page of tail page structures. We map the virtual
addresses of the remaining pages of tail page structures to the first
tail page struct, and then free these page frames. Therefore, we need
to reserve two pages as vmemmap areas.

So we introduce a new nr_free_vmemmap_pages field in the hstate to
indicate how many vmemmap pages associated with a HugeTLB page that we
can free to buddy system.

In the later patch, we can use the free_vmemmap_page() to free the
unused vmemmap pages and initialize a page for vmemmap page using
via prepare_vmemmap_page().

We only can free the tail vmemmap pages of HugeTLB to the buddy allocator
when the size of struct page is a power of two.

If we enable the CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP, we can just
disbale PMD page mapping of vmemmap to simplify the code. In this
case, we do not need complex code doing vmemmap page table
manipulation. This is a way to simply the first version of this
patch series. In the future, we can add some code doing page table
manipulation.

When we allocate a hugetlb page from the buddy, we should free the
unused vmemmap pages associated with it. We can do that in the
prep_new_huge_page().

In the subsequent patch, we will allocate the vmemmap pages when free
HugeTLB pages. But update_and_free_page() is called from a non-task
context(and hold hugetlb_lock), so we can defer the actual freeing in
a workqueue to prevent use GFP_ATOMIC to allocate the vmemmap pages.

Because we reuse the first tail vmemmap page frame and remap it
with read-only, we cannot set the PageHWPosion on a tail page.
So we can use the head[4].mapping to record the real error page
index and set the raw error page PageHWPoison later.

We should flush work when dissolving a hugetlb page to make sure that
the hugetlb page is freed to the buddy.

For hugetlb page, there are more metadata to save in the struct
page. But the head struct page cannot meet our needs, so we have
to abuse other tail struct page to store the metadata. In order
to avoid conflicts caused by subsequent use of more tail struct
pages, we can gather these discrete indexes of tail struct page
In this case, it will be easier to add a new tail page index later.

There are only `RESERVE_VMEMMAP_SIZE / sizeof(struct page)` struct pages
can be used when CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP, so add a BUILD_BUG_ON
to catch this invalid usage of tail struct page.

Hi Mike,

What's your opinion on this version?  Any comments or suggestions?
And hoping you or more people review the series. Thank you very
much.

Sorry Muchun, I have been busy with other things and have not looked at
this new version.  Should have some time soon.

As previously mentioned, I feel qualified to review the hugetlb changes
and some other closely related changes.  However, this patch set is
touching quite a few areas and I do not feel qualified to make authoritative
statements about them all.  I too hope others will take a look.

Agree. I also hope others can take a look at other modules(e.g.
sparse-vmemmap, memory-hotplug). Thanks for everyone's efforts
on this.

I'd squash this into the previous patch and name it like

"mm/memory_hotplug: Factor out bootmem core functions to bootmem_info.c"

x86 - i386 and x86-64? (I assume the latter only ;) )

Why does this hunk belong into this patch? Looks like this should go

Calculations only apply to 4k base pages, no? (maybe generalize this a
bit or mention 4k base pages - I'm pretty sure we'll see the "depends on
X86" part fairly soon if this goes upstream)

You should try to generalize all descriptions regarding differing base
page sizes. E.g., arm64 supports 4k, 16k, and 64k base pages.

This patch as it stands is rather sub-optimal. I mean, all it does is
add documentation and print what could be done.

Can we instead introduce the basic infrastructure and enable it via this
patch on top, where we glue all the pieces together? Or is there
something I am missing?

Can you clarify in the description when exactly these functions are
called and on which type of pages?

Would indicating "bootmem" in the function names make it clearer what we
are dealing with?

E.g., any memory allocated via the memblock allocator and not via the
buddy will be makred reserved already in the memmap. It's unclear to me
why we need the mark_page_reserved() here - can you enlighten me? :)

Yeah, you are right. Only the latter support SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.

Of course can. But Mike suggests that it is better to use it when
introducing a new config. Because this config depends on
HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE. And register_page_bootmem_info
is aimed to register bootmem info. So maybe it is reasonable from
this point of view. What is your opinion?

No, if the base page is not 4k, we also can free 6 pages.

For example:

If the base page size is 64k, the PMD huge page size is 512MB. We also
can free 6 pages(64k * 6) vmemmap. But maybe I should document this.

Thanks.

Yeah, it can be easy to adapt to different architectures. :)

Ah, I see. Maybe mention in the patch description, because the
"Introduce a new config HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP" part left me
clueless. Stumbling over this change only left me rather clueless.

Note that 2MB huge pages on arm64 with 64k base pages are possible as
well. Also, I think powerpc always has 16MB huge pages, independent of
base page sizes.

Maybe we can make the config of CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP
default n in the Kconfig. When everything is ready, then make it
default to y. Right?

I see now. Now only support x86-64, you are right, I should point out the base
page size. When supporting more architectures in the future. We can update
the message here. :)

I got sidetracked by some other stuff but I plan to continue reviewing
this series.

One thing that came to my mind is that if we do as David suggested in
patch#4, and we move it towards the end to actually __enable__ this
once all the infrastructure is there (unless hstate->nr_vmemmap_pages
differs from 0 we should not be doing any work AFAIK), we could also
move patch#6 to the end (right before the enablement), kill patch#7
and only leave patch#13.

The reason for that (killing patch#7 and leaving patch#13 only)
is that it does not make much sense to me to disable PMD-mapped vmemmap
depending on the CONFIG_HUGETLB_xxxxx as that is enabled by default
to replace that later by the boot kernel parameter.
It looks more natural to me to disable it when we introduce the kernel
boot parameter, before the actual enablement of the feature.

As I said, I plan to start the review again, but the order above would
make more sense to me.

thanks

Sorry for ignoring this question. Because the vmemmap pages are allocated
from the bootmem allocator which is marked as PG_reserved. For those bootmem
pages, we should call put_page_bootmem for free. You can see that we
clear the PG_reserved in the put_page_bootmem. In order to be consistent,
the prepare_vmemmap_page also marks the page as PG_reserved.

Thanks.

I don't think that really makes sense.

After put_page_bootmem() put the last reference, it clears PG_reserved
and hands the page over to the buddy via free_reserved_page(). From that
point on, further get_page_bootmem() would be completely wrong and
dangerous.

Both, put_page_bootmem() and get_page_bootmem() rely on the fact that
they are dealing with memblock allcoations - marked via PG_reserved. If
prepare_vmemmap_page() would be called on something that's *not* coming
from the memblock allocator, it would be completely broken - or am I
missing something?

AFAIKT, there should rather be a BUG_ON(!PageReserved(page)) in
prepare_vmemmap_page() - or proper handling to deal with !memblock
allocations.


And as I said, indicating "bootmem" as part of the function names might
make it clearer that this is not for getting any vmemmap pages (esp.
allocated when hotplugging memory).

I think it can make sense to introduce the
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP option first if necessary for other
patches. But I think the the documentation and the dummy call should
rather be moved to the end of the series where you glue everything you

BTW, I'm planning on reviewing the other parts of this series, I'm just

I want to allocate some pages as the vmemmap when
we free a HugeTLB page to the buddy allocator. So I use
the prepare_vmemmap_page() to initialize the page (which
allocated from buddy allocator) and make it as the vmemmap
of the freed HugeTLB page.

Any suggestions to deal with this case?

I have a solution to address this. When the pages allocated
from the buddy as vmemmap pages,  we do not call
prepare_vmemmap_page().

When we free some vmemmap pages of a HugeTLB
page, if the PG_reserved of the vmemmap page is set,
we call free_vmemmap_page() to free it to buddy,
otherwise call free_page(). What is your opinion?

Agree. I am doing that for the next version.

If you obtained pages via the buddy, there shouldn't be anything special
to handle, no? What speaks against


prepare_vmemmap_page():
if (!PageReserved(page))
	return;


put_page_bootmem():
if (!PageReserved(page))
	__free_page();


Or if we care about multiple references, get_page() and put_page().

That would also work. Then, please include "bootmem" as part of the
function name. If you plan on using my suggestion, you can drop
"bootmem" from the name as it works for both types of pages.

I'd just drop that pr_info(). Users are able to observe that it's
working (below), so they are able to identify that it's not working as well.

Please squash this patch into the enabling patch and add a comment
instead, like

/* We cannot optimize if a "struct page" crosses page boundaries. */

The below is just a pr_debug. Do you suggest converting it to pr_info?

Good question. I wonder if users really have to know in most cases.
Maybe pr_debug() is good enough in environments where we want to debug
why stuff is not working as expected.

Oh, another thought, can we glue availability of
HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP (or a new define based on the config and the
size of a stuct page) to the size of struct page somehow?

I mean, it's known at compile time that this will never work.

When someone enables this feature via the boot cmdline, maybe he should
want to know whether this feature works. From this point of view, the pr_info
is necessary. Right?

Good question. I also thought about this question. Just like the
macro SPINLOCK_SIZE does, we also can generate a new macro
to indicate the size of the struct page. :)

I want to define a macro which indicates the size of the
struct page. There is place (kernel/bounds.c) where can
do similar things. When I added the following code in
that file.

        DEFINE(STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE, sizeof(struct page));

Then the compiler will output a message like:

       make[2]: Circular kernel/bounds.s <- include/generated/bounds.h
dependency dropped.

Then I realise that the size of the struct page also depends
on include/generated/bounds.h. But this file is not generated.

Hi David,

Do you have some idea about this?

Hm, from what I understand you cannot use sizeof() in #if etc. So it
might not be possible after all. At least the compiler should optimize
code like

if (!is_power_of_2(sizeof(struct page))) {
	// either this
} else {
	// or that
}

that can never be reached
