Thanks for linux! |
totally unnecessary, congratz! |
yeah make pull requests either vanish or be a link to https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/Documentation/development-process |

I am thoroughly disappoint. |
...This is just crazy |
@torvalds I will volunteer to help clean up spam requests if there is a way to do so. |
Great way to introduce someone very prominent in the open source |

"No more beers for you, going back to BSD" :D |
@diegoviola you might want to cool it a bit. We're not a lynch mob, the goal was to stop having joke pull requests started on @torvalds repository. Save the 'saving the world' bit for later. :) |
@diegoviola, you're cool. Just something we all might want to keep in |
The amount of social networking b.s. for an operating system kernel's source code repository IS TOO DAMN HIGH. |

Add mount options backupuid and backugid. It allows an authenticated user to access files with the intent to back them up including their ACLs, who may not have access permission but has "Backup files and directories user right" on them (by virtue of being part of the built-in group Backup Operators. When mount options backupuid is specified, cifs client restricts the use of backup intents to the user whose effective user id is specified along with the mount option. When mount options backupgid is specified, cifs client restricts the use of backup intents to the users whose effective user id belongs to the group id specified along with the mount option. If an authenticated user is not part of the built-in group Backup Operators at the server, access to such files is denied, even if allowed by the client.

It wouldn't normally trigger but I don't see why it can't happen normally if the page is added to swap cache in between the two faults leading to "copied" being zero (which then hangs in ext4). So it should be fixed. Especially possible with lumpy reclaim (albeit disabled if compaction is enabled) as that would ignore the young bits in the ptes.

Cancel idle timer in musb_platform_exit. The idle timer could trigger after clock had been disabled leading to kernel panic when MUSB_DEVCTL is accessed in musb_do_idle on 2.6.37. The fault below is no longer triggered on 2.6.38-rc4 (clock is disabled later, and only if compiled as a module, and the offending memory access has moved) but the timer should be cancelled nonetheless.

[ Upstream commit e226930 ] This code has been broken forever, but in several different and creative ways. So far as I can work out, the R6040 MAC filter has 4 exact-match entries, the first of which the driver uses for its assigned unicast address, plus a 64-entry hash-based filter for multicast addresses (maybe unicast as well?). The original version of this code would write the first 4 multicast addresses as exact-match entries from offset 1 (bug #1: there is no entry 4 so this could write to some PHY registers). It would fill the remainder of the exact-match entries with the broadcast address (bug #2: this would overwrite the last used entry). If more than 4 multicast addresses were configured, it would set up the hash table, write some random crap to the MAC control register (bug #3) and finally walk off the end of the list when filling the exact-match entries (bug #4). All of this seems to be pointless, since it sets the promiscuous bit when the interface is made promiscuous or if >4 multicast addresses are enabled, and never clears it (bug #5, masking bug #2). The recent(ish) changes to the multicast list fixed bug #4, but completely removed the limit on iteration over the exact-match entries (bug torvalds#6). Bug #4 was reported as <https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15355> and more recently as <http://bugs.debian.org/600155>. Florian Fainelli attempted to fix these in commit 3bcf822, but that actually dealt with bugs #1-3, bug #4 having been fixed in mainline at that point. That commit fixes the most important current bug torvalds#6. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

…ge_order() Patch series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) + CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT", v3. Let's add an "easy" way to decide -- without false positives, without page-mapcounts and without page table/rmap scanning -- whether a large folio is "certainly mapped exclusively" into a single MM, or whether it "maybe mapped shared" into multiple MMs. Use that information to implement Copy-on-Write reuse, to convert folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_share(), and to introduce a kernel config option that lets us not use+maintain per-page mapcounts in large folios anymore. The bigger picture was presented at LSF/MM [1]. This series is effectively a follow-up on my early work [2], which implemented a more precise, but also more complicated, way to identify whether a large folio is "mapped shared" into multiple MMs or "mapped exclusively" into a single MM. 1 Patch Organization ==================== Patch #1 -> torvalds#6: make more room in order-1 folios, so we have two "unsigned long" available for our purposes Patch torvalds#7 -> torvalds#11: preparations Patch torvalds#12: MM owner tracking for large folios Patch torvalds#13: COW reuse for PTE-mapped anon THP Patch torvalds#14: folio_maybe_mapped_shared() Patch torvalds#15 -> torvalds#20: introduce and implement CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT 2 MM owner tracking =================== We assign each MM a unique ID ("MM ID"), to be able to squeeze more information in our folios. On 32bit we use 15-bit IDs, on 64bit we use 31-bit IDs. For each large folios, we now store two MM-ID+mapcount ("slot") combinations: * mm0_id + mm0_mapcount * mm1_id + mm1_mapcount On 32bit, we use a 16-bit per-MM mapcount, on 64bit an ordinary 32bit mapcount. This way, we require 2x "unsigned long" on 32bit and 64bit for both slots. Paired with the large mapcount, we can reliably identify whether one of these MMs is the current owner (-> owns all mappings) or even holds all folio references (-> owns all mappings, and all references are from mappings). As long as only two MMs map folio pages at a time, we can reliably and precisely identify whether a large folio is "mapped shared" or "mapped exclusively". Any additional MM that starts mapping the folio while there are no free slots becomes an "untracked MM". If one such "untracked MM" is the last one mapping a folio exclusively, we will not detect the folio as "mapped exclusively" but instead as "maybe mapped shared". (exception: only a single mapping remains) So that's where the approach gets imprecise. For now, we use a bit-spinlock to sync the large mapcount + slots, and make sure we do keep the machinery fast, to not degrade (un)map performance drastically: for example, we make sure to only use a single atomic (when grabbing the bit-spinlock), like we would already perform when updating the large mapcount. 3 CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT ========================= patch torvalds#15 -> torvalds#20 spell out and document what exactly is affected when not maintaining the per-page mapcounts in large folios anymore. Most importantly, as we cannot maintain folio->_nr_pages_mapped anymore when (un)mapping pages, we'll account a complete folio as mapped if a single page is mapped. In addition, we'll not detect partially mapped anonymous folios as such in all cases yet. Likely less relevant changes include that we might now under-estimate the USS (Unique Set Size) of a process, but never over-estimate it. The goal is to make CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT the default at some point, to then slowly make it the only option, as we learn about real-life impacts and possible ways to mitigate them. 4 Performance ============= Detailed performance numbers were included in v1 [3], and not that much changed between v1 and v2. I did plenty of measurements on different systems in the meantime, that all revealed slightly different results. The pte-mapped-folio micro-benchmarks [4] are fairly sensitive to code layout changes on some systems. Especially the fork() benchmark started being more-shaky-than-before on recent kernels for some reason. In summary, with my micro-benchmarks: * Small folios are not impacted. * CoW performance seems to be mostly unchanged across all folios sizes. * CoW reuse performance of large folios now matches CoW reuse performance of small folios, because we now actually implement the CoW reuse optimization. On an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R I measured a ~65% reduction in runtime, on an arm64 system I measured ~54% reduction. * munmap() performance improves with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. I saw double-digit % reduction (up to ~30% on an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R and up to ~70% on an AmpereOne A192-32X) with larger folios. The larger the folios, the larger the performance improvement. * munmao() performance very slightly (couple percent) degrades without CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT for smaller folios. For larger folios, there seems to be no change at all. * fork() performance improves with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. I saw double-digit % reduction (up to ~20% on an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R and up to ~10% on an AmpereOne A192-32X) with larger folios. The larger the folios, the larger the performance improvement. * While fork() performance without CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT seems to be almost unchanged on some systems, I saw some degradation for smaller folios on the AmpereOne A192-32X. I did not investigate the details yet, but I suspect code layout changes or suboptimal code placement / inlining. I'm not to worried about the fork() micro-benchmarks for smaller folios given how shaky the results are lately and by how much we improved fork() performance recently. I also ran case-anon-cow-rand and case-anon-cow-seq part of vm-scalability, to assess the scalability and the impact of the bit-spinlock. My measurements on a two 2-socket 10-core Intel Xeon Silver 4210R CPU revealed no significant changes. Similarly, running these benchmarks with 2 MiB THPs enabled on the AmpereOne A192-32X with 192 cores, I got < 1% difference with < 1% stdev, which is nice. So far, I did not get my hands on a similarly large system with multiple sockets. I found no other fitting scalability benchmarks that seem to really hammer on concurrent mapping/unmapping of large folio pages like case-anon-cow-seq does. 5 Concerns ========== 5.1 Bit spinlock ---------------- I'm not quite happy about the bit-spinlock, but so far it does not seem to affect scalability in my measurements. If it ever becomes a problem we could either investigate improving the locking, or simply stopping the MM tracking once there are "too many mappings" and simply assume that the folio is "mapped shared" until it was freed. This would be similar (but slightly different) to the "0,1,2,stopped" counting idea Willy had at some point. Adding that logic to "stop tracking" adds more code to the hot path, so I avoided that for now. 5.2 folio_maybe_mapped_shared() ------------------------------- I documented the change from folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_shared() quite extensively. If we run into surprises, I have some ideas on how to resolve them. For now, I think we should be fine. 5.3 Added code to map/unmap hot path ------------------------------------ So far, it looks like the added code on the rmap hot path does not really seem to matter much in the bigger picture. I'd like to further reduce it (and possibly improve fork() performance further), but I don't easily see how right now. Well, and I am out of puff 🙂 Having that said, alternatives I considered (e.g., per-MM per-folio mapcount) would add a lot more overhead to these hot paths. 6 Future Work ============= 6.1 Large mapcount ------------------ It would be very handy if the large mapcount would count how often folio pages are actually mapped into page tables: a PMD on x86-64 would count 512 times. Calculating the average per-page mapcount will be easy, and remapping (PMD->PTE) folios would get even faster. That would also remove the need for the entire mapcount (except for PMD-sized folios for memory statistics reasons ...), and allow for mapping folios larger than PMDs (e.g., 4 MiB) easily. We likely would also have to take the same number of folio references to make our folio_mapcount() == folio_ref_count() work, and we'd want to be able to avoid mapcount+refcount overflows: this could already become an issue with pte-mapped PUD-sized folios (fsdax). One approach we discussed in the THP cabal meeting is (1) extending the mapcount for large folios to 64bit (at least on 64bit systems) and (2) keeping the refcount at 32bit, but (3) having exactly one reference if the the mapcount != 0. It should be doable, but there are some corner cases to consider on the unmap path; it is something that I will be looking into next. 6.2 hugetlb ----------- I'd love to make use of the same tracking also for hugetlb. The real problem is PMD table sharing: getting a page mapped by MM X and unmapped by MM Y will not work. With mshare, that problem should not exist (all mapping/unmapping will be routed through the mshare MM).

…ge_order() Patch series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) + CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT", v3. Let's add an "easy" way to decide -- without false positives, without page-mapcounts and without page table/rmap scanning -- whether a large folio is "certainly mapped exclusively" into a single MM, or whether it "maybe mapped shared" into multiple MMs. Use that information to implement Copy-on-Write reuse, to convert folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_share(), and to introduce a kernel config option that lets us not use+maintain per-page mapcounts in large folios anymore. The bigger picture was presented at LSF/MM [1]. This series is effectively a follow-up on my early work [2], which implemented a more precise, but also more complicated, way to identify whether a large folio is "mapped shared" into multiple MMs or "mapped exclusively" into a single MM. 1 Patch Organization ==================== Patch #1 -> torvalds#6: make more room in order-1 folios, so we have two "unsigned long" available for our purposes Patch torvalds#7 -> torvalds#11: preparations Patch torvalds#12: MM owner tracking for large folios Patch torvalds#13: COW reuse for PTE-mapped anon THP Patch torvalds#14: folio_maybe_mapped_shared() Patch torvalds#15 -> torvalds#20: introduce and implement CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT 2 MM owner tracking =================== We assign each MM a unique ID ("MM ID"), to be able to squeeze more information in our folios. On 32bit we use 15-bit IDs, on 64bit we use 31-bit IDs. For each large folios, we now store two MM-ID+mapcount ("slot") combinations: * mm0_id + mm0_mapcount * mm1_id + mm1_mapcount On 32bit, we use a 16-bit per-MM mapcount, on 64bit an ordinary 32bit mapcount. This way, we require 2x "unsigned long" on 32bit and 64bit for both slots. Paired with the large mapcount, we can reliably identify whether one of these MMs is the current owner (-> owns all mappings) or even holds all folio references (-> owns all mappings, and all references are from mappings). As long as only two MMs map folio pages at a time, we can reliably and precisely identify whether a large folio is "mapped shared" or "mapped exclusively". Any additional MM that starts mapping the folio while there are no free slots becomes an "untracked MM". If one such "untracked MM" is the last one mapping a folio exclusively, we will not detect the folio as "mapped exclusively" but instead as "maybe mapped shared". (exception: only a single mapping remains) So that's where the approach gets imprecise. For now, we use a bit-spinlock to sync the large mapcount + slots, and make sure we do keep the machinery fast, to not degrade (un)map performance drastically: for example, we make sure to only use a single atomic (when grabbing the bit-spinlock), like we would already perform when updating the large mapcount. 3 CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT ========================= patch torvalds#15 -> torvalds#20 spell out and document what exactly is affected when not maintaining the per-page mapcounts in large folios anymore. Most importantly, as we cannot maintain folio->_nr_pages_mapped anymore when (un)mapping pages, we'll account a complete folio as mapped if a single page is mapped. In addition, we'll not detect partially mapped anonymous folios as such in all cases yet. Likely less relevant changes include that we might now under-estimate the USS (Unique Set Size) of a process, but never over-estimate it. The goal is to make CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT the default at some point, to then slowly make it the only option, as we learn about real-life impacts and possible ways to mitigate them. 4 Performance ============= Detailed performance numbers were included in v1 [3], and not that much changed between v1 and v2. I did plenty of measurements on different systems in the meantime, that all revealed slightly different results. The pte-mapped-folio micro-benchmarks [4] are fairly sensitive to code layout changes on some systems. Especially the fork() benchmark started being more-shaky-than-before on recent kernels for some reason. In summary, with my micro-benchmarks: * Small folios are not impacted. * CoW performance seems to be mostly unchanged across all folios sizes. * CoW reuse performance of large folios now matches CoW reuse performance of small folios, because we now actually implement the CoW reuse optimization. On an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R I measured a ~65% reduction in runtime, on an arm64 system I measured ~54% reduction. * munmap() performance improves with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. I saw double-digit % reduction (up to ~30% on an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R and up to ~70% on an AmpereOne A192-32X) with larger folios. The larger the folios, the larger the performance improvement. * munmao() performance very slightly (couple percent) degrades without CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT for smaller folios. For larger folios, there seems to be no change at all. * fork() performance improves with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. I saw double-digit % reduction (up to ~20% on an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R and up to ~10% on an AmpereOne A192-32X) with larger folios. The larger the folios, the larger the performance improvement. * While fork() performance without CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT seems to be almost unchanged on some systems, I saw some degradation for smaller folios on the AmpereOne A192-32X.

Adding that logic to "stop tracking" adds more code to the hot path, so I avoided that for now. 5.2 folio_maybe_mapped_shared() ------------------------------- I documented the change from folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_shared() quite extensively. If we run into surprises, I have some ideas on how to resolve them. For now, I think we should be fine. 5.3 Added code to map/unmap hot path ------------------------------------ So far, it looks like the added code on the rmap hot path does not really seem to matter much in the bigger picture. I'd like to further reduce it (and possibly improve fork() performance further), but I don't easily see how right now. Well, and I am out of puff 🙂 Having that said, alternatives I considered (e.g., per-MM per-folio mapcount) would add a lot more overhead to these hot paths. 6 Future Work ============= 6.1 Large mapcount ------------------ It would be very handy if the large mapcount would count how often folio pages are actually mapped into page tables: a PMD on x86-64 would count 512 times. Calculating the average per-page mapcount will be easy, and remapping (PMD->PTE) folios would get even faster. That would also remove the need for the entire mapcount (except for PMD-sized folios for memory statistics reasons ...), and allow for mapping folios larger than PMDs (e.g., 4 MiB) easily. We likely would also have to take the same number of folio references to make our folio_mapcount() == folio_ref_count() work, and we'd want to be able to avoid mapcount+refcount overflows: this could already become an issue with pte-mapped PUD-sized folios (fsdax). One approach we discussed in the THP cabal meeting is (1) extending the mapcount for large folios to 64bit (at least on 64bit systems) and (2) keeping the refcount at 32bit, but (3) having exactly one reference if the the mapcount != 0. It should be doable, but there are some corner cases to consider on the unmap path; it is something that I will be looking into next. 6.2 hugetlb ----------- I'd love to make use of the same tracking also for hugetlb. The real problem is PMD table sharing: getting a page mapped by MM X and unmapped by MM Y will not work. With mshare, that problem should not exist (all mapping/unmapping will be routed through the mshare MM).

…ge_order() Patch series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) + CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT", v3. Let's add an "easy" way to decide -- without false positives, without page-mapcounts and without page table/rmap scanning -- whether a large folio is "certainly mapped exclusively" into a single MM, or whether it "maybe mapped shared" into multiple MMs. Use that information to implement Copy-on-Write reuse, to convert folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_share(), and to introduce a kernel config option that lets us not use+maintain per-page mapcounts in large folios anymore. The bigger picture was presented at LSF/MM [1]. This series is effectively a follow-up on my early work [2], which implemented a more precise, but also more complicated, way to identify whether a large folio is "mapped shared" into multiple MMs or "mapped exclusively" into a single MM. 1 Patch Organization ==================== Patch #1 -> torvalds#6: make more room in order-1 folios, so we have two "unsigned long" available for our purposes Patch torvalds#7 -> torvalds#11: preparations Patch torvalds#12: MM owner tracking for large folios Patch torvalds#13: COW reuse for PTE-mapped anon THP Patch torvalds#14: folio_maybe_mapped_shared() Patch torvalds#15 -> torvalds#20: introduce and implement CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT 2 MM owner tracking =================== We assign each MM a unique ID ("MM ID"), to be able to squeeze more information in our folios. On 32bit we use 15-bit IDs, on 64bit we use 31-bit IDs. For each large folios, we now store two MM-ID+mapcount ("slot") combinations: * mm0_id + mm0_mapcount * mm1_id + mm1_mapcount On 32bit, we use a 16-bit per-MM mapcount, on 64bit an ordinary 32bit mapcount. This way, we require 2x "unsigned long" on 32bit and 64bit for both slots. Paired with the large mapcount, we can reliably identify whether one of these MMs is the current owner (-> owns all mappings) or even holds all folio references (-> owns all mappings, and all references are from mappings). As long as only two MMs map folio pages at a time, we can reliably and precisely identify whether a large folio is "mapped shared" or "mapped exclusively". Any additional MM that starts mapping the folio while there are no free slots becomes an "untracked MM". If one such "untracked MM" is the last one mapping a folio exclusively, we will not detect the folio as "mapped exclusively" but instead as "maybe mapped shared". (exception: only a single mapping remains) So that's where the approach gets imprecise. For now, we use a bit-spinlock to sync the large mapcount + slots, and make sure we do keep the machinery fast, to not degrade (un)map performance drastically: for example, we make sure to only use a single atomic (when grabbing the bit-spinlock), like we would already perform when updating the large mapcount. 3 CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT ========================= patch torvalds#15 -> torvalds#20 spell out and document what exactly is affected when not maintaining the per-page mapcounts in large folios anymore. Most importantly, as we cannot maintain folio->_nr_pages_mapped anymore when (un)mapping pages, we'll account a complete folio as mapped if a single page is mapped. In addition, we'll not detect partially mapped anonymous folios as such in all cases yet. Likely less relevant changes include that we might now under-estimate the USS (Unique Set Size) of a process, but never over-estimate it. The goal is to make CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT the default at some point, to then slowly make it the only option, as we learn about real-life impacts and possible ways to mitigate them. 4 Performance ============= Detailed performance numbers were included in v1 [3], and not that much changed between v1 and v2. I did plenty of measurements on different systems in the meantime, that all revealed slightly different results. The pte-mapped-folio micro-benchmarks [4] are fairly sensitive to code layout changes on some systems. Especially the fork() benchmark started being more-shaky-than-before on recent kernels for some reason. In summary, with my micro-benchmarks: * Small folios are not impacted. * CoW performance seems to be mostly unchanged across all folios sizes. * CoW reuse performance of large folios now matches CoW reuse performance of small folios, because we now actually implement the CoW reuse optimization. On an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R I measured a ~65% reduction in runtime, on an arm64 system I measured ~54% reduction. * munmap() performance improves with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. I saw double-digit % reduction (up to ~30% on an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R and up to ~70% on an AmpereOne A192-32X) with larger folios. The larger the folios, the larger the performance improvement. * munmao() performance very slightly (couple percent) degrades without CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT for smaller folios. For larger folios, there seems to be no change at all. * fork() performance improves with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. I saw double-digit % reduction (up to ~20% on an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R and up to ~10% on an AmpereOne A192-32X) with larger folios. The larger the folios, the larger the performance improvement. * While fork() performance without CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT seems to be almost unchanged on some systems, I saw some degradation for smaller folios on the AmpereOne A192-32X. I did not investigate the details yet, but I suspect code layout changes or suboptimal code placement / inlining. I'm not to worried about the fork() micro-benchmarks for smaller folios given how shaky the results are lately and by how much we improved fork() performance recently. I also ran case-anon-cow-rand and case-anon-cow-seq part of vm-scalability, to assess the scalability and the impact of the bit-spinlock. My measurements on a two 2-socket 10-core Intel Xeon Silver 4210R CPU revealed no significant changes. Similarly, running these benchmarks with 2 MiB THPs enabled on the AmpereOne A192-32X with 192 cores, I got < 1% difference with < 1% stdev, which is nice. So far, I did not get my hands on a similarly large system with multiple sockets. I found no other fitting scalability benchmarks that seem to really hammer on concurrent mapping/unmapping of large folio pages like case-anon-cow-seq does. 5 Concerns ========== 5.1 Bit spinlock ---------------- I'm not quite happy about the bit-spinlock, but so far it does not seem to affect scalability in my measurements. If it ever becomes a problem we could either investigate improving the locking, or simply stopping the MM tracking once there are "too many mappings" and simply assume that the folio is "mapped shared" until it was freed. This would be similar (but slightly different) to the "0,1,2,stopped" counting idea Willy had at some point. Adding that logic to "stop tracking" adds more code to the hot path, so I avoided that for now. 5.2 folio_maybe_mapped_shared() ------------------------------- I documented the change from folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_shared() quite extensively. If we run into surprises, I have some ideas on how to resolve them. For now, I think we should be fine. 5.3 Added code to map/unmap hot path ------------------------------------ So far, it looks like the added code on the rmap hot path does not really seem to matter much in the bigger picture. I'd like to further reduce it (and possibly improve fork() performance further), but I don't easily see how right now. Well, and I am out of puff 🙂 Having that said, alternatives I considered (e.g., per-MM per-folio mapcount) would add a lot more overhead to these hot paths. 6 Future Work ============= 6.1 Large mapcount ------------------ It would be very handy if the large mapcount would count how often folio pages are actually mapped into page tables: a PMD on x86-64 would count 512 times. Calculating the average per-page mapcount will be easy, and remapping (PMD->PTE) folios would get even faster. That would also remove the need for the entire mapcount (except for PMD-sized folios for memory statistics reasons ...), and allow for mapping folios larger than PMDs (e.g., 4 MiB) easily. We likely would also have to take the same number of folio references to make our folio_mapcount() == folio_ref_count() work, and we'd want to be able to avoid mapcount+refcount overflows: this could already become an issue with pte-mapped PUD-sized folios (fsdax). One approach we discussed in the THP cabal meeting is (1) extending the mapcount for large folios to 64bit (at least on 64bit systems) and (2) keeping the refcount at 32bit, but (3) having exactly one reference if the the mapcount != 0. It should be doable, but there are some corner cases to consider on the unmap path; it is something that I will be looking into next. 6.2 hugetlb ----------- I'd love to make use of the same tracking also for hugetlb. The real problem is PMD table sharing: getting a page mapped by MM X and unmapped by MM Y will not work. With mshare, that problem should not exist (all mapping/unmapping will be routed through the mshare MM).

…ge_order() Patch series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) + CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT", v3. Let's add an "easy" way to decide -- without false positives, without page-mapcounts and without page table/rmap scanning -- whether a large folio is "certainly mapped exclusively" into a single MM, or whether it "maybe mapped shared" into multiple MMs. Use that information to implement Copy-on-Write reuse, to convert folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_share(), and to introduce a kernel config option that lets us not use+maintain per-page mapcounts in large folios anymore. The bigger picture was presented at LSF/MM [1]. This series is effectively a follow-up on my early work [2], which implemented a more precise, but also more complicated, way to identify whether a large folio is "mapped shared" into multiple MMs or "mapped exclusively" into a single MM. 1 Patch Organization ==================== Patch #1 -> torvalds#6: make more room in order-1 folios, so we have two "unsigned long" available for our purposes Patch torvalds#7 -> torvalds#11: preparations Patch torvalds#12: MM owner tracking for large folios Patch torvalds#13: COW reuse for PTE-mapped anon THP Patch torvalds#14: folio_maybe_mapped_shared() Patch torvalds#15 -> torvalds#20: introduce and implement CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT 2 MM owner tracking =================== We assign each MM a unique ID ("MM ID"), to be able to squeeze more information in our folios. On 32bit we use 15-bit IDs, on 64bit we use 31-bit IDs. For each large folios, we now store two MM-ID+mapcount ("slot") combinations: * mm0_id + mm0_mapcount * mm1_id + mm1_mapcount On 32bit, we use a 16-bit per-MM mapcount, on 64bit an ordinary 32bit mapcount. This way, we require 2x "unsigned long" on 32bit and 64bit for both slots. Paired with the large mapcount, we can reliably identify whether one of these MMs is the current owner (-> owns all mappings) or even holds all folio references (-> owns all mappings, and all references are from mappings). As long as only two MMs map folio pages at a time, we can reliably and precisely identify whether a large folio is "mapped shared" or "mapped exclusively". Any additional MM that starts mapping the folio while there are no free slots becomes an "untracked MM". If one such "untracked MM" is the last one mapping a folio exclusively, we will not detect the folio as "mapped exclusively" but instead as "maybe mapped shared". (exception: only a single mapping remains) So that's where the approach gets imprecise. For now, we use a bit-spinlock to sync the large mapcount + slots, and make sure we do keep the machinery fast, to not degrade (un)map performance drastically: for example, we make sure to only use a single atomic (when grabbing the bit-spinlock), like we would already perform when updating the large mapcount. 3 CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT ========================= patch torvalds#15 -> torvalds#20 spell out and document what exactly is affected when not maintaining the per-page mapcounts in large folios anymore. Most importantly, as we cannot maintain folio->_nr_pages_mapped anymore when (un)mapping pages, we'll account a complete folio as mapped if a single page is mapped. In addition, we'll not detect partially mapped anonymous folios as such in all cases yet. Likely less relevant changes include that we might now under-estimate the USS (Unique Set Size) of a process, but never over-estimate it. The goal is to make CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT the default at some point, to then slowly make it the only option, as we learn about real-life impacts and possible ways to mitigate them. 4 Performance ============= Detailed performance numbers were included in v1 [3], and not that much changed between v1 and v2. I did plenty of measurements on different systems in the meantime, that all revealed slightly different results. The pte-mapped-folio micro-benchmarks [4] are fairly sensitive to code layout changes on some systems. Especially the fork() benchmark started being more-shaky-than-before on recent kernels for some reason. In summary, with my micro-benchmarks: * Small folios are not impacted. * CoW performance seems to be mostly unchanged across all folios sizes. * CoW reuse performance of large folios now matches CoW reuse performance of small folios, because we now actually implement the CoW reuse optimization. On an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R I measured a ~65% reduction in runtime, on an arm64 system I measured ~54% reduction. * munmap() performance improves with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. I saw double-digit % reduction (up to ~30% on an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R and up to ~70% on an AmpereOne A192-32X) with larger folios. The larger the folios, the larger the performance improvement. * munmao() performance very slightly (couple percent) degrades without CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT for smaller folios. For larger folios, there seems to be no change at all. * fork() performance improves with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. I saw double-digit % reduction (up to ~20% on an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R and up to ~10% on an AmpereOne A192-32X) with larger folios. The larger the folios, the larger the performance improvement. * While fork() performance without CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT seems to be almost unchanged on some systems, I saw some degradation for smaller folios on the AmpereOne A192-32X. I did not investigate the details yet, but I suspect code layout changes or suboptimal code placement / inlining. I'm not to worried about the fork() micro-benchmarks for smaller folios given how shaky the results are lately and by how much we improved fork() performance recently. I also ran case-anon-cow-rand and case-anon-cow-seq part of vm-scalability, to assess the scalability and the impact of the bit-spinlock. My measurements on a two 2-socket 10-core Intel Xeon Silver 4210R CPU revealed no significant changes. Similarly, running these benchmarks with 2 MiB THPs enabled on the AmpereOne A192-32X with 192 cores, I got < 1% difference with < 1% stdev, which is nice. So far, I did not get my hands on a similarly large system with multiple sockets. I found no other fitting scalability benchmarks that seem to really hammer on concurrent mapping/unmapping of large folio pages like case-anon-cow-seq does. 5 Concerns ========== 5.1 Bit spinlock ---------------- I'm not quite happy about the bit-spinlock, but so far it does not seem to affect scalability in my measurements. If it ever becomes a problem we could either investigate improving the locking, or simply stopping the MM tracking once there are "too many mappings" and simply assume that the folio is "mapped shared" until it was freed. This would be similar (but slightly different) to the "0,1,2,stopped" counting idea Willy had at some point. Adding that logic to "stop tracking" adds more code to the hot path, so I avoided that for now. 5.2 folio_maybe_mapped_shared() ------------------------------- I documented the change from folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_shared() quite extensively. If we run into surprises, I have some ideas on how to resolve them. For now, I think we should be fine. 5.3 Added code to map/unmap hot path ------------------------------------ So far, it looks like the added code on the rmap hot path does not really seem to matter much in the bigger picture. I'd like to further reduce it (and possibly improve fork() performance further), but I don't easily see how right now. Well, and I am out of puff 🙂 Having that said, alternatives I considered (e.g., per-MM per-folio mapcount) would add a lot more overhead to these hot paths. 6 Future Work ============= 6.1 Large mapcount ------------------ It would be very handy if the large mapcount would count how often folio pages are actually mapped into page tables: a PMD on x86-64 would count 512 times. Calculating the average per-page mapcount will be easy, and remapping (PMD->PTE) folios would get even faster. That would also remove the need for the entire mapcount (except for PMD-sized folios for memory statistics reasons ...), and allow for mapping folios larger than PMDs (e.g., 4 MiB) easily. We likely would also have to take the same number of folio references to make our folio_mapcount() == folio_ref_count() work, and we'd want to be able to avoid mapcount+refcount overflows: this could already become an issue with pte-mapped PUD-sized folios (fsdax). One approach we discussed in the THP cabal meeting is (1) extending the mapcount for large folios to 64bit (at least on 64bit systems) and (2) keeping the refcount at 32bit, but (3) having exactly one reference if the the mapcount != 0. It should be doable, but there are some corner cases to consider on the unmap path; it is something that I will be looking into next. 6.2 hugetlb ----------- I'd love to make use of the same tracking also for hugetlb. The real problem is PMD table sharing: getting a page mapped by MM X and unmapped by MM Y will not work. With mshare, that problem should not exist (all mapping/unmapping will be routed through the mshare MM).

Paired with the large mapcount, we can reliably identify whether one of these MMs is the current owner (-> owns all mappings) or even holds all folio references (-> owns all mappings, and all references are from mappings). As long as only two MMs map folio pages at a time, we can reliably and precisely identify whether a large folio is "mapped shared" or "mapped exclusively". Any additional MM that starts mapping the folio while there are no free slots becomes an "untracked MM". If one such "untracked MM" is the last one mapping a folio exclusively, we will not detect the folio as "mapped exclusively" but instead as "maybe mapped shared". (exception: only a single mapping remains) So that's where the approach gets imprecise. For now, we use a bit-spinlock to sync the large mapcount + slots, and make sure we do keep the machinery fast, to not degrade (un)map performance drastically: for example, we make sure to only use a single atomic (when grabbing the bit-spinlock), like we would already perform when updating the large mapcount. 3 CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT ========================= patch torvalds#15 -> torvalds#20 spell out and document what exactly is affected when not maintaining the per-page mapcounts in large folios anymore. Most importantly, as we cannot maintain folio->_nr_pages_mapped anymore when (un)mapping pages, we'll account a complete folio as mapped if a single page is mapped. In addition, we'll not detect partially mapped anonymous folios as such in all cases yet. Likely less relevant changes include that we might now under-estimate the USS (Unique Set Size) of a process, but never over-estimate it. The goal is to make CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT the default at some point, to then slowly make it the only option, as we learn about real-life impacts and possible ways to mitigate them. 4 Performance ============= Detailed performance numbers were included in v1 [3], and not that much changed between v1 and v2. I did plenty of measurements on different systems in the meantime, that all revealed slightly different results. The pte-mapped-folio micro-benchmarks [4] are fairly sensitive to code layout changes on some systems. Especially the fork() benchmark started being more-shaky-than-before on recent kernels for some reason. In summary, with my micro-benchmarks: * Small folios are not impacted. * CoW performance seems to be mostly unchanged across all folios sizes. * CoW reuse performance of large folios now matches CoW reuse performance of small folios, because we now actually implement the CoW reuse optimization. On an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R I measured a ~65% reduction in runtime, on an arm64 system I measured ~54% reduction. * munmap() performance improves with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. I saw double-digit % reduction (up to ~30% on an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R and up to ~70% on an AmpereOne A192-32X) with larger folios. The larger the folios, the larger the performance improvement. * munmao() performance very slightly (couple percent) degrades without CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT for smaller folios. For larger folios, there seems to be no change at all. * fork() performance improves with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. I saw double-digit % reduction (up to ~20% on an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R and up to ~10% on an AmpereOne A192-32X) with larger folios. The larger the folios, the larger the performance improvement. * While fork() performance without CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT seems to be almost unchanged on some systems, I saw some degradation for smaller folios on the AmpereOne A192-32X. I did not investigate the details yet, but I suspect code layout changes or suboptimal code placement / inlining. I'm not to worried about the fork() micro-benchmarks for smaller folios given how shaky the results are lately and by how much we improved fork() performance recently. I also ran case-anon-cow-rand and case-anon-cow-seq part of vm-scalability, to assess the scalability and the impact of the bit-spinlock. My measurements on a two 2-socket 10-core Intel Xeon Silver 4210R CPU revealed no significant changes. Similarly, running these benchmarks with 2 MiB THPs enabled on the AmpereOne A192-32X with 192 cores, I got < 1% difference with < 1% stdev, which is nice. So far, I did not get my hands on a similarly large system with multiple sockets. I found no other fitting scalability benchmarks that seem to really hammer on concurrent mapping/unmapping of large folio pages like case-anon-cow-seq does. 5 Concerns ========== 5.1 Bit spinlock ---------------- I'm not quite happy about the bit-spinlock, but so far it does not seem to affect scalability in my measurements. If it ever becomes a problem we could either investigate improving the locking, or simply stopping the MM tracking once there are "too many mappings" and simply assume that the folio is "mapped shared" until it was freed. This would be similar (but slightly different) to the "0,1,2,stopped" counting idea Willy had at some point. Adding that logic to "stop tracking" adds more code to the hot path, so I avoided that for now. 5.2 folio_maybe_mapped_shared() ------------------------------- I documented the change from folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_shared() quite extensively. If we run into surprises, I have some ideas on how to resolve them. For now, I think we should be fine. 5.3 Added code to map/unmap hot path ------------------------------------ So far, it looks like the added code on the rmap hot path does not really seem to matter much in the bigger picture. I'd like to further reduce it (and possibly improve fork() performance further), but I don't easily see how right now. Well, and I am out of puff 🙂 Having that said, alternatives I considered (e.g., per-MM per-folio mapcount) would add a lot more overhead to these hot paths. 6 Future Work ============= 6.1 Large mapcount ------------------ It would be very handy if the large mapcount would count how often folio pages are actually mapped into page tables: a PMD on x86-64 would count 512 times. Calculating the average per-page mapcount will be easy, and remapping (PMD->PTE) folios would get even faster. That would also remove the need for the entire mapcount (except for PMD-sized folios for memory statistics reasons ...), and allow for mapping folios larger than PMDs (e.g., 4 MiB) easily. We likely would also have to take the same number of folio references to make our folio_mapcount() == folio_ref_count() work, and we'd want to be able to avoid mapcount+refcount overflows: this could already become an issue with pte-mapped PUD-sized folios (fsdax). One approach we discussed in the THP cabal meeting is (1) extending the mapcount for large folios to 64bit (at least on 64bit systems) and (2) keeping the refcount at 32bit, but (3) having exactly one reference if the the mapcount != 0. It should be doable, but there are some corner cases to consider on the unmap path; it is something that I will be looking into next. 6.2 hugetlb ----------- I'd love to make use of the same tracking also for hugetlb. The real problem is PMD table sharing: getting a page mapped by MM X and unmapped by MM Y will not work. With mshare, that problem should not exist (all mapping/unmapping will be routed through the mshare MM).

…ge_order() Patch series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) + CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT", v3. Let's add an "easy" way to decide -- without false positives, without page-mapcounts and without page table/rmap scanning -- whether a large folio is "certainly mapped exclusively" into a single MM, or whether it "maybe mapped shared" into multiple MMs. Use that information to implement Copy-on-Write reuse, to convert folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_share(), and to introduce a kernel config option that lets us not use+maintain per-page mapcounts in large folios anymore. The bigger picture was presented at LSF/MM [1]. This series is effectively a follow-up on my early work [2], which implemented a more precise, but also more complicated, way to identify whether a large folio is "mapped shared" into multiple MMs or "mapped exclusively" into a single MM. 1 Patch Organization ==================== Patch #1 -> torvalds#6: make more room in order-1 folios, so we have two "unsigned long" available for our purposes Patch torvalds#7 -> torvalds#11: preparations Patch torvalds#12: MM owner tracking for large folios Patch torvalds#13: COW reuse for PTE-mapped anon THP Patch torvalds#14: folio_maybe_mapped_shared() Patch torvalds#15 -> torvalds#20: introduce and implement CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT 2 MM owner tracking =================== We assign each MM a unique ID ("MM ID"), to be able to squeeze more information in our folios.

For larger folios, there seems to be no change at all. * fork() performance improves with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. I saw double-digit % reduction (up to ~20% on an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R and up to ~10% on an AmpereOne A192-32X) with larger folios.

I'm not to worried about the fork() micro-benchmarks for smaller folios given how shaky the results are lately and by how much we improved fork() performance recently. I also ran case-anon-cow-rand and case-anon-cow-seq part of vm-scalability, to assess the scalability and the impact of the bit-spinlock. My measurements on a two 2-socket 10-core Intel Xeon Silver 4210R CPU revealed no significant changes. Similarly, running these benchmarks with 2 MiB THPs enabled on the AmpereOne A192-32X with 192 cores, I got < 1% difference with < 1% stdev, which is nice. So far, I did not get my hands on a similarly large system with multiple sockets. I found no other fitting scalability benchmarks that seem to really hammer on concurrent mapping/unmapping of large folio pages like case-anon-cow-seq does. 5 Concerns ========== 5.1 Bit spinlock ---------------- I'm not quite happy about the bit-spinlock, but so far it does not seem to affect scalability in my measurements. If it ever becomes a problem we could either investigate improving the locking, or simply stopping the MM tracking once there are "too many mappings" and simply assume that the folio is "mapped shared" until it was freed. This would be similar (but slightly different) to the "0,1,2,stopped" counting idea Willy had at some point. Adding that logic to "stop tracking" adds more code to the hot path, so I avoided that for now. 5.2 folio_maybe_mapped_shared() ------------------------------- I documented the change from folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_shared() quite extensively. If we run into surprises, I have some ideas on how to resolve them. For now, I think we should be fine. 5.3 Added code to map/unmap hot path ------------------------------------ So far, it looks like the added code on the rmap hot path does not really seem to matter much in the bigger picture. I'd like to further reduce it (and possibly improve fork() performance further), but I don't easily see how right now. Well, and I am out of puff 🙂 Having that said, alternatives I considered (e.g., per-MM per-folio mapcount) would add a lot more overhead to these hot paths. 6 Future Work ============= 6.1 Large mapcount ------------------ It would be very handy if the large mapcount would count how often folio pages are actually mapped into page tables: a PMD on x86-64 would count 512 times. Calculating the average per-page mapcount will be easy, and remapping (PMD->PTE) folios would get even faster. That would also remove the need for the entire mapcount (except for PMD-sized folios for memory statistics reasons ...), and allow for mapping folios larger than PMDs (e.g., 4 MiB) easily. We likely would also have to take the same number of folio references to make our folio_mapcount() == folio_ref_count() work, and we'd want to be able to avoid mapcount+refcount overflows: this could already become an issue with pte-mapped PUD-sized folios (fsdax). One approach we discussed in the THP cabal meeting is (1) extending the mapcount for large folios to 64bit (at least on 64bit systems) and (2) keeping the refcount at 32bit, but (3) having exactly one reference if the the mapcount != 0. It should be doable, but there are some corner cases to consider on the unmap path; it is something that I will be looking into next. 6.2 hugetlb ----------- I'd love to make use of the same tracking also for hugetlb. The real problem is PMD table sharing: getting a page mapped by MM X and unmapped by MM Y will not work. With mshare, that problem should not exist (all mapping/unmapping will be routed through the mshare MM).

…ge_order() Patch series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) + CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT", v3. Let's add an "easy" way to decide -- without false positives, without page-mapcounts and without page table/rmap scanning -- whether a large folio is "certainly mapped exclusively" into a single MM, or whether it "maybe mapped shared" into multiple MMs. Use that information to implement Copy-on-Write reuse, to convert folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_share(), and to introduce a kernel config option that lets us not use+maintain per-page mapcounts in large folios anymore. The bigger picture was presented at LSF/MM [1]. This series is effectively a follow-up on my early work [2], which implemented a more precise, but also more complicated, way to identify whether a large folio is "mapped shared" into multiple MMs or "mapped exclusively" into a single MM. 1 Patch Organization ==================== Patch #1 -> torvalds#6: make more room in order-1 folios, so we have two "unsigned long" available for our purposes Patch torvalds#7 -> torvalds#11: preparations Patch torvalds#12: MM owner tracking for large folios Patch torvalds#13: COW reuse for PTE-mapped anon THP Patch torvalds#14: folio_maybe_mapped_shared() Patch torvalds#15 -> torvalds#20: introduce and implement CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT 2 MM owner tracking =================== We assign each MM a unique ID ("MM ID"), to be able to squeeze more information in our folios. On 32bit we use 15-bit IDs, on 64bit we use 31-bit IDs. For each large folios, we now store two MM-ID+mapcount ("slot") combinations: * mm0_id + mm0_mapcount * mm1_id + mm1_mapcount On 32bit, we use a 16-bit per-MM mapcount, on 64bit an ordinary 32bit mapcount. This way, we require 2x "unsigned long" on 32bit and 64bit for both slots. Paired with the large mapcount, we can reliably identify whether one of these MMs is the current owner (-> owns all mappings) or even holds all folio references (-> owns all mappings, and all references are from mappings). As long as only two MMs map folio pages at a time, we can reliably and precisely identify whether a large folio is "mapped shared" or "mapped exclusively". Any additional MM that starts mapping the folio while there are no free slots becomes an "untracked MM". If one such "untracked MM" is the last one mapping a folio exclusively, we will not detect the folio as "mapped exclusively" but instead as "maybe mapped shared". (exception: only a single mapping remains) So that's where the approach gets imprecise. For now, we use a bit-spinlock to sync the large mapcount + slots, and make sure we do keep the machinery fast, to not degrade (un)map performance drastically: for example, we make sure to only use a single atomic (when grabbing the bit-spinlock), like we would already perform when updating the large mapcount. 3 CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT ========================= patch torvalds#15 -> torvalds#20 spell out and document what exactly is affected when not maintaining the per-page mapcounts in large folios anymore. Most importantly, as we cannot maintain folio->_nr_pages_mapped anymore when (un)mapping pages, we'll account a complete folio as mapped if a single page is mapped. In addition, we'll not detect partially mapped anonymous folios as such in all cases yet. Likely less relevant changes include that we might now under-estimate the USS (Unique Set Size) of a process, but never over-estimate it. The goal is to make CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT the default at some point, to then slowly make it the only option, as we learn about real-life impacts and possible ways to mitigate them. 4 Performance ============= Detailed performance numbers were included in v1 [3], and not that much changed between v1 and v2. I did plenty of measurements on different systems in the meantime, that all revealed slightly different results. The pte-mapped-folio micro-benchmarks [4] are fairly sensitive to code layout changes on some systems. Especially the fork() benchmark started being more-shaky-than-before on recent kernels for some reason. In summary, with my micro-benchmarks: * Small folios are not impacted. * CoW performance seems to be mostly unchanged across all folios sizes. * CoW reuse performance of large folios now matches CoW reuse performance of small folios, because we now actually implement the CoW reuse optimization. On an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R I measured a ~65% reduction in runtime, on an arm64 system I measured ~54% reduction. * munmap() performance improves with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. I saw double-digit % reduction (up to ~30% on an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R and up to ~70% on an AmpereOne A192-32X) with larger folios. The larger the folios, the larger the performance improvement. * munmao() performance very slightly (couple percent) degrades without CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT for smaller folios. For larger folios, there seems to be no change at all. * fork() performance improves with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. I saw double-digit % reduction (up to ~20% on an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R and up to ~10% on an AmpereOne A192-32X) with larger folios. The larger the folios, the larger the performance improvement. * While fork() performance without CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT seems to be almost unchanged on some systems, I saw some degradation for smaller folios on the AmpereOne A192-32X. I did not investigate the details yet, but I suspect code layout changes or suboptimal code placement / inlining. I'm not to worried about the fork() micro-benchmarks for smaller folios given how shaky the results are lately and by how much we improved fork() performance recently. I also ran case-anon-cow-rand and case-anon-cow-seq part of vm-scalability, to assess the scalability and the impact of the bit-spinlock. My measurements on a two 2-socket 10-core Intel Xeon Silver 4210R CPU revealed no significant changes. Similarly, running these benchmarks with 2 MiB THPs enabled on the AmpereOne A192-32X with 192 cores, I got < 1% difference with < 1% stdev, which is nice. So far, I did not get my hands on a similarly large system with multiple sockets. I found no other fitting scalability benchmarks that seem to really hammer on concurrent mapping/unmapping of large folio pages like case-anon-cow-seq does. 5 Concerns ========== 5.1 Bit spinlock ---------------- I'm not quite happy about the bit-spinlock, but so far it does not seem to affect scalability in my measurements. If it ever becomes a problem we could either investigate improving the locking, or simply stopping the MM tracking once there are "too many mappings" and simply assume that the folio is "mapped shared" until it was freed. This would be similar (but slightly different) to the "0,1,2,stopped" counting idea Willy had at some point. Adding that logic to "stop tracking" adds more code to the hot path, so I avoided that for now. 5.2 folio_maybe_mapped_shared() ------------------------------- I documented the change from folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_shared() quite extensively.

…uctions Add several ./test_progs tests: - arena_atomics/load_acquire - arena_atomics/store_release - verifier_load_acquire/* - verifier_store_release/* - verifier_precision/bpf_load_acquire - verifier_precision/bpf_store_release The last two tests are added to check if backtrack_insn() handles the new instructions correctly. Additionally, the last test also makes sure that the verifier "remembers" the value (in src_reg) we store-release into e.g. a stack slot. For example, if we take a look at the test program: #0: r1 = 8; /* store_release((u64 *)(r10 - 8), r1); */ #1: .8byte %[store_release]; #2: r1 = *(u64 *)(r10 - 8); #3: r2 = r10; #4: r2 += r1; #5: r0 = 0; torvalds#6: exit; At #1, if the verifier doesn't remember that we wrote 8 to the stack, then later at #4 we would be adding an unbounded scalar value to the stack pointer, which would cause the program to be rejected: VERIFIER LOG: ============= ... math between fp pointer and register with unbounded min value is not allowed For easier CI integration, instead of using built-ins like __atomic_{load,store}_n() which depend on the new __BPF_FEATURE_LOAD_ACQ_STORE_REL pre-defined macro, manually craft load-acquire/store-release instructions using __imm_insn(), as suggested by Eduard. All new tests depend on: (1) Clang major version >= 18, and (2) ENABLE_ATOMICS_TESTS is defined (currently implies -mcpu=v3 or v4), and (3) JIT supports load-acquire/store-release (currently arm64 and x86-64) In .../progs/arena_atomics.c: /* 8-byte-aligned */ __u8 __arena_global load_acquire8_value = 0x12; /* 1-byte hole */ __u16 __arena_global load_acquire16_value = 0x1234; That 1-byte hole in the .addr_space.1 ELF section caused clang-17 to crash: fatal error: error in backend: unable to write nop sequence of 1 bytes To work around such llvm-17 CI job failures, conditionally define __arena_global variables as 64-bit if __clang_major__ < 18, to make sure .addr_space.1 has no holes. Ideally we should avoid compiling this file using clang-17 at all (arena tests depend on __BPF_FEATURE_ADDR_SPACE_CAST, and are skipped for llvm-17 anyway), but that is a separate topic.

…ge_order() Patch series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) + CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT", v3. Let's add an "easy" way to decide -- without false positives, without page-mapcounts and without page table/rmap scanning -- whether a large folio is "certainly mapped exclusively" into a single MM, or whether it "maybe mapped shared" into multiple MMs. Use that information to implement Copy-on-Write reuse, to convert folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_share(), and to introduce a kernel config option that lets us not use+maintain per-page mapcounts in large folios anymore. The bigger picture was presented at LSF/MM [1]. This series is effectively a follow-up on my early work [2], which implemented a more precise, but also more complicated, way to identify whether a large folio is "mapped shared" into multiple MMs or "mapped exclusively" into a single MM. 1 Patch Organization ==================== Patch #1 -> torvalds#6: make more room in order-1 folios, so we have two "unsigned long" available for our purposes Patch torvalds#7 -> torvalds#11: preparations Patch torvalds#12: MM owner tracking for large folios Patch torvalds#13: COW reuse for PTE-mapped anon THP Patch torvalds#14: folio_maybe_mapped_shared() Patch torvalds#15 -> torvalds#20: introduce and implement CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT 2 MM owner tracking =================== We assign each MM a unique ID ("MM ID"), to be able to squeeze more information in our folios. On 32bit we use 15-bit IDs, on 64bit we use 31-bit IDs. For each large folios, we now store two MM-ID+mapcount ("slot") combinations: * mm0_id + mm0_mapcount * mm1_id + mm1_mapcount On 32bit, we use a 16-bit per-MM mapcount, on 64bit an ordinary 32bit mapcount. This way, we require 2x "unsigned long" on 32bit and 64bit for both slots. Paired with the large mapcount, we can reliably identify whether one of these MMs is the current owner (-> owns all mappings) or even holds all folio references (-> owns all mappings, and all references are from mappings). As long as only two MMs map folio pages at a time, we can reliably and precisely identify whether a large folio is "mapped shared" or "mapped exclusively". Any additional MM that starts mapping the folio while there are no free slots becomes an "untracked MM". If one such "untracked MM" is the last one mapping a folio exclusively, we will not detect the folio as "mapped exclusively" but instead as "maybe mapped shared". (exception: only a single mapping remains) So that's where the approach gets imprecise.

Most importantly, as we cannot maintain folio->_nr_pages_mapped anymore when (un)mapping pages, we'll account a complete folio as mapped if a single page is mapped. In addition, we'll not detect partially mapped anonymous folios as such in all cases yet.

For larger folios, there seems to be no change at all. * fork() performance improves with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. I saw double-digit % reduction (up to ~20% on an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R and up to ~10% on an AmpereOne A192-32X) with larger folios. The larger the folios, the larger the performance improvement. * While fork() performance without CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT seems to be almost unchanged on some systems, I saw some degradation for smaller folios on the AmpereOne A192-32X.

I also ran case-anon-cow-rand and case-anon-cow-seq part of vm-scalability, to assess the scalability and the impact of the bit-spinlock.

If it ever becomes a problem we could either investigate improving the locking, or simply stopping the MM tracking once there are "too many mappings" and simply assume that the folio is "mapped shared" until it was freed. This would be similar (but slightly different) to the "0,1,2,stopped" counting idea Willy had at some point. Adding that logic to "stop tracking" adds more code to the hot path, so I avoided that for now. 5.2 folio_maybe_mapped_shared() ------------------------------- I documented the change from folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_shared() quite extensively. If we run into surprises, I have some ideas on how to resolve them. For now, I think we should be fine. 5.3 Added code to map/unmap hot path ------------------------------------ So far, it looks like the added code on the rmap hot path does not really seem to matter much in the bigger picture. I'd like to further reduce it (and possibly improve fork() performance further), but I don't easily see how right now. Well, and I am out of puff 🙂 Having that said, alternatives I considered (e.g., per-MM per-folio mapcount) would add a lot more overhead to these hot paths. 6 Future Work ============= 6.1 Large mapcount ------------------ It would be very handy if the large mapcount would count how often folio pages are actually mapped into page tables: a PMD on x86-64 would count 512 times. Calculating the average per-page mapcount will be easy, and remapping (PMD->PTE) folios would get even faster. That would also remove the need for the entire mapcount (except for PMD-sized folios for memory statistics reasons ...), and allow for mapping folios larger than PMDs (e.g., 4 MiB) easily. We likely would also have to take the same number of folio references to make our folio_mapcount() == folio_ref_count() work, and we'd want to be able to avoid mapcount+refcount overflows: this could already become an issue with pte-mapped PUD-sized folios (fsdax). One approach we discussed in the THP cabal meeting is (1) extending the mapcount for large folios to 64bit (at least on 64bit systems) and (2) keeping the refcount at 32bit, but (3) having exactly one reference if the the mapcount != 0. It should be doable, but there are some corner cases to consider on the unmap path; it is something that I will be looking into next. 6.2 hugetlb ----------- I'd love to make use of the same tracking also for hugetlb. The real problem is PMD table sharing: getting a page mapped by MM X and unmapped by MM Y will not work. With mshare, that problem should not exist (all mapping/unmapping will be routed through the mshare MM).

…ge_order() Patch series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) + CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT", v3. Let's add an "easy" way to decide -- without false positives, without page-mapcounts and without page table/rmap scanning -- whether a large folio is "certainly mapped exclusively" into a single MM, or whether it "maybe mapped shared" into multiple MMs. Use that information to implement Copy-on-Write reuse, to convert folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_share(), and to introduce a kernel config option that lets us not use+maintain per-page mapcounts in large folios anymore. The bigger picture was presented at LSF/MM [1]. This series is effectively a follow-up on my early work [2], which implemented a more precise, but also more complicated, way to identify whether a large folio is "mapped shared" into multiple MMs or "mapped exclusively" into a single MM. 1 Patch Organization ==================== Patch #1 -> torvalds#6: make more room in order-1 folios, so we have two "unsigned long" available for our purposes Patch torvalds#7 -> torvalds#11: preparations Patch torvalds#12: MM owner tracking for large folios Patch torvalds#13: COW reuse for PTE-mapped anon THP Patch torvalds#14: folio_maybe_mapped_shared() Patch torvalds#15 -> torvalds#20: introduce and implement CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT 2 MM owner tracking =================== We assign each MM a unique ID ("MM ID"), to be able to squeeze more information in our folios. On 32bit we use 15-bit IDs, on 64bit we use 31-bit IDs. For each large folios, we now store two MM-ID+mapcount ("slot") combinations: * mm0_id + mm0_mapcount * mm1_id + mm1_mapcount On 32bit, we use a 16-bit per-MM mapcount, on 64bit an ordinary 32bit mapcount. This way, we require 2x "unsigned long" on 32bit and 64bit for both slots. Paired with the large mapcount, we can reliably identify whether one of these MMs is the current owner (-> owns all mappings) or even holds all folio references (-> owns all mappings, and all references are from mappings). As long as only two MMs map folio pages at a time, we can reliably and precisely identify whether a large folio is "mapped shared" or "mapped exclusively". Any additional MM that starts mapping the folio while there are no free slots becomes an "untracked MM". If one such "untracked MM" is the last one mapping a folio exclusively, we will not detect the folio as "mapped exclusively" but instead as "maybe mapped shared". (exception: only a single mapping remains) So that's where the approach gets imprecise. For now, we use a bit-spinlock to sync the large mapcount + slots, and make sure we do keep the machinery fast, to not degrade (un)map performance drastically: for example, we make sure to only use a single atomic (when grabbing the bit-spinlock), like we would already perform when updating the large mapcount. 3 CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT ========================= patch torvalds#15 -> torvalds#20 spell out and document what exactly is affected when not maintaining the per-page mapcounts in large folios anymore. Most importantly, as we cannot maintain folio->_nr_pages_mapped anymore when (un)mapping pages, we'll account a complete folio as mapped if a single page is mapped. In addition, we'll not detect partially mapped anonymous folios as such in all cases yet. Likely less relevant changes include that we might now under-estimate the USS (Unique Set Size) of a process, but never over-estimate it. The goal is to make CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT the default at some point, to then slowly make it the only option, as we learn about real-life impacts and possible ways to mitigate them. 4 Performance ============= Detailed performance numbers were included in v1 [3], and not that much changed between v1 and v2. I did plenty of measurements on different systems in the meantime, that all revealed slightly different results. The pte-mapped-folio micro-benchmarks [4] are fairly sensitive to code layout changes on some systems. Especially the fork() benchmark started being more-shaky-than-before on recent kernels for some reason. In summary, with my micro-benchmarks: * Small folios are not impacted. * CoW performance seems to be mostly unchanged across all folios sizes. * CoW reuse performance of large folios now matches CoW reuse performance of small folios, because we now actually implement the CoW reuse optimization. On an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R I measured a ~65% reduction in runtime, on an arm64 system I measured ~54% reduction. * munmap() performance improves with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. I saw double-digit % reduction (up to ~30% on an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R and up to ~70% on an AmpereOne A192-32X) with larger folios. The larger the folios, the larger the performance improvement. * munmao() performance very slightly (couple percent) degrades without CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT for smaller folios. For larger folios, there seems to be no change at all. * fork() performance improves with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. I saw double-digit % reduction (up to ~20% on an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R and up to ~10% on an AmpereOne A192-32X) with larger folios. The larger the folios, the larger the performance improvement. * While fork() performance without CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT seems to be almost unchanged on some systems, I saw some degradation for smaller folios on the AmpereOne A192-32X. I did not investigate the details yet, but I suspect code layout changes or suboptimal code placement / inlining. I'm not to worried about the fork() micro-benchmarks for smaller folios given how shaky the results are lately and by how much we improved fork() performance recently. I also ran case-anon-cow-rand and case-anon-cow-seq part of vm-scalability, to assess the scalability and the impact of the bit-spinlock. My measurements on a two 2-socket 10-core Intel Xeon Silver 4210R CPU revealed no significant changes. Similarly, running these benchmarks with 2 MiB THPs enabled on the AmpereOne A192-32X with 192 cores, I got < 1% difference with < 1% stdev, which is nice. So far, I did not get my hands on a similarly large system with multiple sockets. I found no other fitting scalability benchmarks that seem to really hammer on concurrent mapping/unmapping of large folio pages like case-anon-cow-seq does. 5 Concerns ========== 5.1 Bit spinlock ---------------- I'm not quite happy about the bit-spinlock, but so far it does not seem to affect scalability in my measurements. If it ever becomes a problem we could either investigate improving the locking, or simply stopping the MM tracking once there are "too many mappings" and simply assume that the folio is "mapped shared" until it was freed. This would be similar (but slightly different) to the "0,1,2,stopped" counting idea Willy had at some point. Adding that logic to "stop tracking" adds more code to the hot path, so I avoided that for now. 5.2 folio_maybe_mapped_shared() ------------------------------- I documented the change from folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_shared() quite extensively. If we run into surprises, I have some ideas on how to resolve them. For now, I think we should be fine. 5.3 Added code to map/unmap hot path ------------------------------------ So far, it looks like the added code on the rmap hot path does not really seem to matter much in the bigger picture. I'd like to further reduce it (and possibly improve fork() performance further), but I don't easily see how right now. Well, and I am out of puff 🙂 Having that said, alternatives I considered (e.g., per-MM per-folio mapcount) would add a lot more overhead to these hot paths. 6 Future Work ============= 6.1 Large mapcount ------------------ It would be very handy if the large mapcount would count how often folio pages are actually mapped into page tables: a PMD on x86-64 would count 512 times. Calculating the average per-page mapcount will be easy, and remapping (PMD->PTE) folios would get even faster. That would also remove the need for the entire mapcount (except for PMD-sized folios for memory statistics reasons ...), and allow for mapping folios larger than PMDs (e.g., 4 MiB) easily. We likely would also have to take the same number of folio references to make our folio_mapcount() == folio_ref_count() work, and we'd want to be able to avoid mapcount+refcount overflows: this could already become an issue with pte-mapped PUD-sized folios (fsdax). One approach we discussed in the THP cabal meeting is (1) extending the mapcount for large folios to 64bit (at least on 64bit systems) and (2) keeping the refcount at 32bit, but (3) having exactly one reference if the the mapcount != 0. It should be doable, but there are some corner cases to consider on the unmap path; it is something that I will be looking into next. 6.2 hugetlb ----------- I'd love to make use of the same tracking also for hugetlb. The real problem is PMD table sharing: getting a page mapped by MM X and unmapped by MM Y will not work.

…ge_order() Patch series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) + CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT", v3. Let's add an "easy" way to decide -- without false positives, without page-mapcounts and without page table/rmap scanning -- whether a large folio is "certainly mapped exclusively" into a single MM, or whether it "maybe mapped shared" into multiple MMs. Use that information to implement Copy-on-Write reuse, to convert folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_share(), and to introduce a kernel config option that lets us not use+maintain per-page mapcounts in large folios anymore. The bigger picture was presented at LSF/MM [1]. This series is effectively a follow-up on my early work [2], which implemented a more precise, but also more complicated, way to identify whether a large folio is "mapped shared" into multiple MMs or "mapped exclusively" into a single MM. 1 Patch Organization ==================== Patch #1 -> torvalds#6: make more room in order-1 folios, so we have two "unsigned long" available for our purposes Patch torvalds#7 -> torvalds#11: preparations Patch torvalds#12: MM owner tracking for large folios Patch torvalds#13: COW reuse for PTE-mapped anon THP Patch torvalds#14: folio_maybe_mapped_shared() Patch torvalds#15 -> torvalds#20: introduce and implement CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT 2 MM owner tracking =================== We assign each MM a unique ID ("MM ID"), to be able to squeeze more information in our folios. On 32bit we use 15-bit IDs, on 64bit we use 31-bit IDs. For each large folios, we now store two MM-ID+mapcount ("slot") combinations: * mm0_id + mm0_mapcount * mm1_id + mm1_mapcount On 32bit, we use a 16-bit per-MM mapcount, on 64bit an ordinary 32bit mapcount. This way, we require 2x "unsigned long" on 32bit and 64bit for both slots. Paired with the large mapcount, we can reliably identify whether one of these MMs is the current owner (-> owns all mappings) or even holds all folio references (-> owns all mappings, and all references are from mappings). As long as only two MMs map folio pages at a time, we can reliably and precisely identify whether a large folio is "mapped shared" or "mapped exclusively". Any additional MM that starts mapping the folio while there are no free slots becomes an "untracked MM". If one such "untracked MM" is the last one mapping a folio exclusively, we will not detect the folio as "mapped exclusively" but instead as "maybe mapped shared". (exception: only a single mapping remains) So that's where the approach gets imprecise. For now, we use a bit-spinlock to sync the large mapcount + slots, and make sure we do keep the machinery fast, to not degrade (un)map performance drastically: for example, we make sure to only use a single atomic (when grabbing the bit-spinlock), like we would already perform when updating the large mapcount. 3 CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT ========================= patch torvalds#15 -> torvalds#20 spell out and document what exactly is affected when not maintaining the per-page mapcounts in large folios anymore. Most importantly, as we cannot maintain folio->_nr_pages_mapped anymore when (un)mapping pages, we'll account a complete folio as mapped if a single page is mapped. In addition, we'll not detect partially mapped anonymous folios as such in all cases yet. Likely less relevant changes include that we might now under-estimate the USS (Unique Set Size) of a process, but never over-estimate it. The goal is to make CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT the default at some point, to then slowly make it the only option, as we learn about real-life impacts and possible ways to mitigate them. 4 Performance ============= Detailed performance numbers were included in v1 [3], and not that much changed between v1 and v2. I did plenty of measurements on different systems in the meantime, that all revealed slightly different results. The pte-mapped-folio micro-benchmarks [4] are fairly sensitive to code layout changes on some systems. Especially the fork() benchmark started being more-shaky-than-before on recent kernels for some reason. In summary, with my micro-benchmarks: * Small folios are not impacted. * CoW performance seems to be mostly unchanged across all folios sizes. * CoW reuse performance of large folios now matches CoW reuse performance of small folios, because we now actually implement the CoW reuse optimization. On an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R I measured a ~65% reduction in runtime, on an arm64 system I measured ~54% reduction. * munmap() performance improves with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. I saw double-digit % reduction (up to ~30% on an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R and up to ~70% on an AmpereOne A192-32X) with larger folios. The larger the folios, the larger the performance improvement. * munmao() performance very slightly (couple percent) degrades without CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT for smaller folios. For larger folios, there seems to be no change at all. * fork() performance improves with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. I saw double-digit % reduction (up to ~20% on an Intel Xeon Silver 4210R and up to ~10% on an AmpereOne A192-32X) with larger folios. The larger the folios, the larger the performance improvement. * While fork() performance without CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT seems to be almost unchanged on some systems, I saw some degradation for smaller folios on the AmpereOne A192-32X. I did not investigate the details yet, but I suspect code layout changes or suboptimal code placement / inlining. I'm not to worried about the fork() micro-benchmarks for smaller folios given how shaky the results are lately and by how much we improved fork() performance recently. I also ran case-anon-cow-rand and case-anon-cow-seq part of vm-scalability, to assess the scalability and the impact of the bit-spinlock. My measurements on a two 2-socket 10-core Intel Xeon Silver 4210R CPU revealed no significant changes. Similarly, running these benchmarks with 2 MiB THPs enabled on the AmpereOne A192-32X with 192 cores, I got < 1% difference with < 1% stdev, which is nice. So far, I did not get my hands on a similarly large system with multiple sockets. I found no other fitting scalability benchmarks that seem to really hammer on concurrent mapping/unmapping of large folio pages like case-anon-cow-seq does. 5 Concerns ========== 5.1 Bit spinlock ---------------- I'm not quite happy about the bit-spinlock, but so far it does not seem to affect scalability in my measurements. If it ever becomes a problem we could either investigate improving the locking, or simply stopping the MM tracking once there are "too many mappings" and simply assume that the folio is "mapped shared" until it was freed. This would be similar (but slightly different) to the "0,1,2,stopped" counting idea Willy had at some point. Adding that logic to "stop tracking" adds more code to the hot path, so I avoided that for now. 5.2 folio_maybe_mapped_shared() ------------------------------- I documented the change from folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_shared() quite extensively. If we run into surprises, I have some ideas on how to resolve them. For now, I think we should be fine. 5.3 Added code to map/unmap hot path ------------------------------------ So far, it looks like the added code on the rmap hot path does not really seem to matter much in the bigger picture. I'd like to further reduce it (and possibly improve fork() performance further), but I don't easily see how right now. Well, and I am out of puff 🙂 Having that said, alternatives I considered (e.g., per-MM per-folio mapcount) would add a lot more overhead to these hot paths. 6 Future Work ============= 6.1 Large mapcount ------------------ It would be very handy if the large mapcount would count how often folio pages are actually mapped into page tables: a PMD on x86-64 would count 512 times. Calculating the average per-page mapcount will be easy, and remapping (PMD->PTE) folios would get even faster. That would also remove the need for the entire mapcount (except for PMD-sized folios for memory statistics reasons ...), and allow for mapping folios larger than PMDs (e.g., 4 MiB) easily. We likely would also have to take the same number of folio references to make our folio_mapcount() == folio_ref_count() work, and we'd want to be able to avoid mapcount+refcount overflows: this could already become an issue with pte-mapped PUD-sized folios (fsdax). One approach we discussed in the THP cabal meeting is (1) extending the mapcount for large folios to 64bit (at least on 64bit systems) and (2) keeping the refcount at 32bit, but (3) having exactly one reference if the the mapcount != 0. It should be doable, but there are some corner cases to consider on the unmap path; it is something that I will be looking into next. 6.2 hugetlb ----------- I'd love to make use of the same tracking also for hugetlb. The real problem is PMD table sharing: getting a page mapped by MM X and unmapped by MM Y will not work. With mshare, that problem should not exist (all mapping/unmapping will be routed through the mshare MM).

In recent kernels, there are lockdep splats around the struct request_queue::io_lockdep_map, similar to [1], but they typically don't show up until reclaim with writeback happens. Having multiple kernel versions released with a known risc of kernel deadlock during reclaim writeback should IMHO be addressed and backported to -stable with the highest priority. In order to have these lockdep splats show up earlier, preferrably during system initialization, prime the struct request_queue::io_lockdep_map as GFP_KERNEL reclaim- tainted. This will instead lead to lockdep splats looking similar to [2], but without the need for reclaim + writeback happening.

[BUG] Scrub is not reporting the correct logical/physical address, it can be verified by the following script: # mkfs.btrfs -f $dev1 # mount $dev1 $mnt # xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 0 128k" $mnt/file1 # umount $mnt # xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xff 13647872 4k" $dev1 # mount $dev1 $mnt # btrfs scrub start -fB $mnt # umount $mnt Note above 13647872 is the physical address for logical 13631488 + 4K. Scrub would report the following error: BTRFS error (device dm-2): unable to fixup (regular) error at logical 13631488 on dev /dev/mapper/test-scratch1 physical 13631488 BTRFS warning (device dm-2): checksum error at logical 13631488 on dev /dev/mapper/test-scratch1, physical 13631488, root 5, inode 257, offset 0, length 4096, links 1 (path: file1) On the other hand, "btrfs check --check-data-csum" is reporting the correct logical/physical address: Checking filesystem on /dev/test/scratch1 UUID: db2eb621-b09d-4f24-8199-da17dc7b3201 [5/7] checking csums against data mirror 1 bytenr 13647872 csum 0x13fec125 expected csum 0x656bd64e ERROR: errors found in csum tree [CAUSE] In the function scrub_stripe_report_errors(), we always use the stripe->logical and its physical address to print the error message, not taking the sector number into consideration at all. [FIX] Fix the error reporting function by calculating logical/physical with the sector number. Now the scrub report is correct: BTRFS error (device dm-2): unable to fixup (regular) error at logical 13647872 on dev /dev/mapper/test-scratch1 physical 13647872 BTRFS warning (device dm-2): checksum error at logical 13647872 on dev /dev/mapper/test-scratch1, physical 13647872, root 5, inode 257, offset 16384, length 4096, links 1 (path: file1) Fixes: 0096580 ("btrfs: scrub: introduce error reporting functionality for scrub_stripe") CC: stable@vger.kernel.org torvalds#6.4+ Reviewed-by: Anand Jain <anand.jain@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Qu Wenruo <wqu@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>

It is necessary due to the driver's support for dynamic addition and removal of remapping units at runtime. Two distinct code paths require iteration over this remapping unit list: - Device registration and probing: the driver iterates the list to register each remapping unit with the upper layer IOMMU framework and subsequently probe the devices managed by that unit. - Global configuration: Upper layer components may also iterate the list to apply configuration changes. The lock acquisition order between these two code paths was reversed. This caused lockdep warnings, indicating a risk of deadlock. Fix this warning by releasing the global lock before invoking upper layer interfaces for device registration.
