This adds a check to hugepage_madvise(), to refuse MADV_HUGEPAGE if
VM_NOHUGEPAGE is set in mm->def_flags. On s390, the VM_NOHUGEPAGE flag
will be set in mm->def_flags for kvm processes, to prevent any future thp
mappings. In order to also prevent MADV_HUGEPAGE on such an mm,
hugepage_madvise() should check mm->def_flags.

On s390, a valid page table entry must not be changed while it is attached
to any CPU. So instead of pmd_mknotpresent() and set_pmd_at(), an IDTE
operation would be necessary there. This patch introduces the
pmdp_invalidate() function, to allow architecture-specific
implementations.

The thp page table pre-allocation code currently assumes that pgtable_t is
of type "struct page *". This may not be true for all architectures, so
this patch removes that assumption by replacing the functions
prepare_pmd_huge_pte() and get_pmd_huge_pte() with two new functions that
can be defined architecture-specific.
It also removes two VM_BUG_ON checks for page_count() and page_mapcount()
operating on a pgtable_t. Apart from the VM_BUG_ON removal, there will be
no functional change introduced by this patch.

Currently, hugepaged_mutex is used really complexly and hard to
understand, actually, it is just used to serialize start_khugepaged and
khugepaged for these reasons:
- khugepaged_thread is shared between them
- the thp disable path (echo never > transparent_hugepage/enabled) is
nonblocking, so we need to protect khugepaged_thread to get a stable
running state
These can be avoided by:
- use the lock to serialize the thread creation and cancel
- thp disable path can not finised until the thread exits
Then khugepaged_thread is fully controlled by start_khugepaged, khugepaged
will be happy without the lock

Merge VM_INSERTPAGE into VM_MIXEDMAP. VM_MIXEDMAP VMA can mix pure-pfn
ptes, special ptes and normal ptes.
Now copy_page_range() always copies VM_MIXEDMAP VMA on fork like
VM_PFNMAP. If driver populates whole VMA at mmap() it probably not
expects page-faults.
This patch removes special check from vma_wants_writenotify() which
disables pages write tracking for VMA populated via vm_instert_page().
BDI below mapped file should not use dirty-accounting, moreover
do_wp_page() can handle this.
vm_insert_page() still marks vma after first usage. Usually it is called
from f_op->mmap() handler under mm->mmap_sem write-lock, so it able to
change vma->vm_flags. Caller must set VM_MIXEDMAP at mmap time if it
wants to call this function from other places, for example from page-fault

Take lruvec further: pass it instead of zone to add_page_to_lru_list() and

This cleanup eliminates a swathe of cruft in memcontrol.c, including

mem_cgroup_lru_move_lists() - which never actually touched the lists.
In their place, mem_cgroup_page_lruvec() to decide the lruvec, previously
a side-effect of add, and mem_cgroup_update_lru_size() to maintain the
lru_size stats.
Whilst these are simplifications in their own right, the goal is to bring
the evaluation of lruvec next to the spin_locking of the lrus, in
preparation for a future patch.

On COW, a new hugepage is allocated and charged to the memcg. If the
system is oom or the charge to the memcg fails, however, the fault
handler will return VM_FAULT_OOM which results in an oom kill.
Instead, it's possible to fallback to splitting the hugepage so that the
COW results only in an order-0 page being allocated and charged to the
memcg which has a higher liklihood to succeed. This is expensive
because the hugepage must be split in the page fault handler, but it is
much better than unnecessarily oom killing a process.

Dave Jones reports a few Fedora users hitting the BUG_ON(mm->nr_ptes...)
in exit_mmap() recently.
Quoting Hugh's discovery and explanation of the SMP race condition:
"mm->nr_ptes had unusual locking: down_read mmap_sem plus
page_table_lock when incrementing, down_write mmap_sem (or mm_users
0) when decrementing; whereas THP is careful to increment and
decrement it under page_table_lock.
Now most of those paths in THP also hold mmap_sem for read or write
(with appropriate checks on mm_users), but two do not: when
split_huge_page() is called by hwpoison_user_mappings(), and when
called by add_to_swap().
It's conceivable that the latter case is responsible for the
exit_mmap() BUG_ON mm->nr_ptes that has been reported on Fedora."
The simplest way to fix it without having to alter the locking is to make
split_huge_page() a noop in nr_ptes terms, so by counting the preallocated
pagetables that exists for every mapped hugepage. It was an arbitrary
choice not to count them and either way is not wrong or right, because
they are not used but they're still allocated.

This patch started off as a cleanup: __split_huge_page_refcounts() has to
cope with two scenarios, when the hugepage being split is already on LRU,
and when it is not; but why does it have to split that accounting across
three different sites? Consolidate it in lru_add_page_tail(), handling
evictable and unevictable alike, and use standard add_page_to_lru_list()
when accounting is needed (when the head is not yet on LRU).
But a recent regression in -next, I guess the removal of PageCgroupAcctLRU
test from mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup(), makes this now a necessary fix:
under load, the MEM_CGROUP_ZSTAT count was wrapping to a huge number,
messing up reclaim calculations and causing a freeze at rmdir of cgroup.
Add a VM_BUG_ON to mem_cgroup_lru_del_list() when we're about to wrap that
count - this has not been the only such incident. Document that
lru_add_page_tail() is for Transparent HugePages by #ifdef around it.

problem so far because THP is only for x86 currently and tlb_flush()
under x86 will flush entire TLB. But this is confusion and could be
missed if thp is ported to other arch.
Also convert tlb->need_flush = 1 to a VM_BUG_ON(!tlb->need_flush) in

In split_huge_page(), mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() is called to handle
page_cgroup modifcations. It takes move_lock_page_cgroup() and modifies
page_cgroup and LRU accounting jobs and called HPAGE_PMD_SIZE - 1 times.
But thinking again,
- compound_lock() is held at move_accout...then, it's not necessary
to take move_lock_page_cgroup().
- LRU is locked and all tail pages will go into the same LRU as
head is now on.
- page_cgroup is contiguous in huge page range.
This patch fixes mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() as to be called once per
hugepage and reduce costs for spliting.

try_to_freeze() would have been needed in the khugepaged_alloc_hugepage
tight loop too in case of the allocation failing repeatedly, and
wait_event_freezable_timeout will provide it too.
khugepaged would still freeze just fine by trying again the next minute
but it's better if it freezes immediately.

Michel while working on the working set estimation code, noticed that
calling get_page_unless_zero() on a random pfn_to_page(random_pfn)
wasn't safe, if the pfn ended up being a tail page of a transparent
hugepage under splitting by __split_huge_page_refcount().
He then found the problem could also theoretically materialize with
page_cache_get_speculative() during the speculative radix tree lookups
that uses get_page_unless_zero() in SMP if the radix tree page is freed
and reallocated and get_user_pages is called on it before
page_cache_get_speculative has a chance to call get_page_unless_zero().
So the best way to fix the problem is to keep page_tail->_count zero at
all times. This will guarantee that get_page_unless_zero() can never
succeed on any tail page. page_tail->_mapcount is guaranteed zero and
is unused for all tail pages of a compound page, so we can simply
account the tail page references there and transfer them to
tail_page->_count in __split_huge_page_refcount() (in addition to the
head_page->_mapcount).
While debugging this s/_count/_mapcount/ change I also noticed get_page is
called by direct-io.c on pages returned by get_user_pages. That wasn't
entirely safe because the two atomic_inc in get_page weren't atomic. As
opposed to other get_user_page users like secondary-MMU page fault to
establish the shadow pagetables would never call any superflous get_page
after get_user_page returns. It's safer to make get_page universally safe
for tail pages and to use get_page_foll() within follow_page (inside
get_user_pages()). get_page_foll() is safe to do the refcounting for tail
pages without taking any locks because it is run within PT lock protected
critical sections (PT lock for pte and page_table_lock for
pmd_trans_huge).
The standard get_page() as invoked by direct-io instead will now take
the compound_lock but still only for tail pages. The direct-io paths
are usually I/O bound and the compound_lock is per THP so very
finegrined, so there's no risk of scalability issues with it. A simple
direct-io benchmarks with all lockdep prove locking and spinlock
debugging infrastructure enabled shows identical performance and no
overhead. So it's worth it. Ideally direct-io should stop calling
get_page() on pages returned by get_user_pages(). The spinlock in
get_page() is already optimized away for no-THP builds but doing
get_page() on tail pages returned by GUP is generally a rare operation
and usually only run in I/O paths.
This new refcounting on page_tail->_mapcount in addition to avoiding new
RCU critical sections will also allow the working set estimation code to
work without any further complexity associated to the tail page
refcounting with THP.

There are three cases of update_mmu_cache() in the file, and the case in
function collapse_huge_page() has a typo, namely the last parameter used,
which is corrected based on the other two cases.
Due to the define of update_mmu_cache by X86, the only arch that
implements THP currently, the change here has no really crystal point, but
one or two minutes of efforts could be saved for those archs that are
likely to support THP in future.

The only problem for native 2M mremap like it happens above both the

The huge_memory.c THP page fault was allowed to run if vm_ops was null
(which would succeed for /dev/zero MAP_PRIVATE, as the f_op->mmap wouldn't
setup a special vma->vm_ops and it would fallback to regular anonymous
memory) but other THP logics weren't fully activated for vmas with vm_file
not NULL (/dev/zero has a not NULL vma->vm_file).
So this removes the vm_file checks so that /dev/zero also can safely use
THP (the other albeit safer approach to fix this bug would have been to
prevent the THP initial page fault to run if vm_file was set).
After removing the vm_file checks, this also makes huge_memory.c stricter
in khugepaged for the DEBUG_VM=y case. It doesn't replace the vm_file
check with a is_pfn_mapping check (but it keeps checking for VM_PFNMAP
under VM_BUG_ON) because for a is_cow_mapping() mapping VM_PFNMAP should
only be allowed to exist before the first page fault, and in turn when
vma->anon_vma is null (so preventing khugepaged registration). So I tend
to think the previous comment saying if vm_file was set, VM_PFNMAP might
have been set and we could still be registered in khugepaged (despite
anon_vma was not NULL to be registered in khugepaged) was too paranoid.
The is_linear_pfn_mapping check is also I think superfluous (as described
by comment) but under DEBUG_VM it is safe to stay.

The conventional format for boolean attributes in sysfs is numeric ("0" or

written using a generic function. Using the strings "yes [no]", "[yes]
no" (read), "yes" and "no" (write) will frustrate this.

in when its huge page is allocated: inside if NUMA but outside if not.
It's hardly surprising that the memcg failure path forgot that, freeing
the page in the non-NUMA case, then hitting a VM_BUG_ON in get_page()
(or even worse, using the freed page).

Pass down the correct node for a transparent hugepage allocation. Most
callers continue to use the current node, however the hugepaged daemon
now uses the previous node of the first to be collapsed page instead.
This ensures that khugepaged does not mess up local memory for an
existing process which uses local policy.
The choice of node is somewhat primitive currently: it just uses the
node of the first page in the pmd range. An alternative would be to
look at multiple pages and use the most popular node. I used the
simplest variant for now which should work well enough for the case of
all pages being on the same node.
