When handling a numa page fault, task_numa_fault() should be called by a
process that restores the page table of the faulted folio to avoid
duplicated stats counting. Commit c5b5a3dd2c ("mm: thp: refactor NUMA
fault handling") restructured do_huge_pmd_numa_page() and did not avoid
task_numa_fault() call in the second page table check after a numa
migration failure. Fix it by making all !pmd_same() return immediately.
This issue can cause task_numa_fault() being called more than necessary
and lead to unexpected numa balancing results (It is hard to tell whether
the issue will cause positive or negative performance impact due to
duplicated numa fault counting).

The legacy PMD-sized THP counters at /proc/vmstat include thp_file_alloc,
thp_file_fallback and thp_file_fallback_charge, which rather confusingly
refer to shmem THP and do not include any other types of file pages. This
is inconsistent since in most other places in the kernel, THP counters are
explicitly separated for anon, shmem and file flavours. However, we are
stuck with it since it constitutes a user ABI.
Recently, commit 66f44583f9 ("mm: shmem: add mTHP counters for anonymous
shmem") added equivalent mTHP stats for shmem, keeping the same "file_"
prefix in the names. But in future, we may want to add extra stats to
cover actual file pages, at which point, it would all become very
confusing.
So let's take the opportunity to rename these new counters "shmem_" before
the change makes it upstream and the ABI becomes immutable. While we are
at it, let's improve the documentation for the legacy counters to make it
clear that they count shmem pages only.

Since the introduction of mTHP, the docuementation has stated that
khugepaged would be enabled when any mTHP size is enabled, and disabled
when all mTHP sizes are disabled. There are 2 problems with this; 1.
this is not what was implemented by the code and 2. this is not the
desirable behavior.
Desirable behavior is for khugepaged to be enabled when any PMD-sized THP
is enabled, anon or file. (Note that file THP is still controlled by the
top-level control so we must always consider that, as well as the PMD-size
mTHP control for anon). khugepaged only supports collapsing to PMD-sized
THP so there is no value in enabling it when PMD-sized THP is disabled.
So let's change the code and documentation to reflect this policy.
Further, per-size enabled control modification events were not previously
forwarded to khugepaged to give it an opportunity to start or stop.
Consequently the following was resulting in khugepaged eroneously not
being activated:
echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-2048kB/enabled

Per the analysis done by yangge, when starting the SEV virtual machine, it
will call pin_user_pages_fast(..., FOLL_LONGTERM, ...) to pin the memory.
But the page is in CMA area, so fast GUP will fail then fallback to the
slow path due to the longterm pinnalbe check in try_grab_folio().
The slow path will try to pin the pages then migrate them out of CMA area.
But the slow path also uses try_grab_folio() to pin the page, it will
also fail due to the same check then the above warning is triggered.
In addition, the try_grab_folio() is supposed to be used in fast path and
it elevates folio refcount by using add ref unless zero. We are guaranteed
to have at least one stable reference in slow path, so the simple atomic add
could be used. The performance difference should be trivial, but the
misuse may be confusing and misleading.
Redefined try_grab_folio() to try_grab_folio_fast(), and try_grab_page()
to try_grab_folio(), and use them in the proper paths. This solves both
the abuse and the kernel warning.
The proper naming makes their usecase more clear and should prevent from
abusing in the future.

Currently we always take a folio reference even if migration will not even
be tried or isolation failed, requiring us to grab+drop an additional
reference.
Further, we end up calling folio_likely_mapped_shared() while the folio
might have already been unmapped, because after we dropped the PTL, that
can easily happen. We want to stop touching mapcounts and friends from
such context, and only call folio_likely_mapped_shared() while the folio
is still mapped: mapcount information is pretty much stale and unreliable
otherwise.
So let's move checks into numamigrate_isolate_folio(), rename that
function to migrate_misplaced_folio_prepare(), and call that function from
callsites where we call migrate_misplaced_folio(), but still with the PTL
held.
We can now stop taking temporary folio references, and really only take a
reference if folio isolation succeeded. Doing the
folio_likely_mapped_shared() + folio isolation under PT lock is now
similar to how we handle MADV_PAGEOUT.
While at it, combine the folio_is_file_lru() checks.

the caller as it is only needed if we don't know which address will be
accessed when clearing/copying user folios.
This patch (of 4):
Replace clear_huge_page() with folio_zero_user(), and take a folio
instead of a page. Directly get number of pages by folio_nr_pages()
to remove pages_per_huge_page argument, furthermore, move the address
alignment from folio_zero_user() to the callers since the alignment
is only needed when we don't know which address will be accessed.

Patch series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and
__folio_add_anon_rmap()", v2.
This patchset is preparatory work for mTHP swapin.
folio_add_new_anon_rmap() assumes that new anon rmaps are always
exclusive. However, this assumption doesn’t hold true for cases like
do_swap_page(), where a new anon might be added to the swapcache and is
not necessarily exclusive.
The patchset extends the rmap flags to allow folio_add_new_anon_rmap() to
handle both exclusive and non-exclusive new anon folios. The
do_swap_page() function is updated to use this extended API with rmap
flags. Consequently, all new anon folios now consistently use
folio_add_new_anon_rmap(). The special case for !folio_test_anon() in
__folio_add_anon_rmap() can be safely removed.
In conclusion, new anon folios always use folio_add_new_anon_rmap(),
regardless of exclusivity. Old anon folios continue to use
__folio_add_anon_rmap() via folio_add_anon_rmap_pmd() and
folio_add_anon_rmap_ptes().
This patch (of 3):
In the case of a swap-in, a new anonymous folio is not necessarily
exclusive. This patch updates the rmap flags to allow a new anonymous
folio to be treated as either exclusive or non-exclusive. To maintain the
existing behavior, we always use EXCLUSIVE as the default setting.

When the user no longer requires the pages, they would use
madvise(MADV_FREE) to mark the pages as lazy free. Subsequently, they
typically would not re-write to that memory again.
During memory reclaim, if we detect that the large folio and its PMD are
both still marked as clean and there are no unexpected references (such as
GUP), so we can just discard the memory lazily, improving the efficiency
of memory reclamation in this case.
On an Intel i5 CPU, reclaiming 1GiB of lazyfree THPs using
mem_cgroup_force_empty() results in the following runtimes in seconds

To support the use of mTHP with anonymous shmem, add a new sysfs interface
'shmem_enabled' in the '/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-kB/'
directory for each mTHP to control whether shmem is enabled for that mTHP,
with a value similar to the top level 'shmem_enabled', which can be set
to: "always", "inherit (to inherit the top level setting)", "within_size",
"advise", "never". An 'inherit' option is added to ensure compatibility
with these global settings, and the options 'force' and 'deny' are
dropped, which are rather testing artifacts from the old ages.
By default, PMD-sized hugepages have enabled="inherit" and all other
hugepage sizes have enabled="never" for
'/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-xxkB/shmem_enabled'.
In addition, if top level value is 'force', then only PMD-sized hugepages
have enabled="inherit", otherwise configuration will be failed and vice
versa. That means now we will avoid using non-PMD sized THP to override
the global huge allocation.

Currently we use one swap_address_space for every 64M chunk to reduce lock
contention, this is like having a set of smaller swap files inside one
swap device. But when doing swap cache look up or insert, we are still
using the offset of the whole large swap device. This is OK for
correctness, as the offset (key) is unique.
But Xarray is specially optimized for small indexes, it creates the radix
tree levels lazily to be just enough to fit the largest key stored in one
Xarray. So we are wasting tree nodes unnecessarily.
For 64M chunk it should only take at most 3 levels to contain everything.
But if we are using the offset from the whole swap device, the offset
(key) value will be way beyond 64M, and so will the tree level.
Optimize this by using a new helper swap_cache_index to get a swap entry's
unique offset in its own 64M swap_address_space.
I see a ~1% performance gain in benchmark and actual workload with high
memory pressure.
Test with `time memhog 128G` inside a 8G memcg using 128G swap (ramdisk
with SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO dropped, tested 3 times, results are stable. The
test result is similar but the improvement is smaller if
SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO is enabled, as swap out path can never skip swap

When I did a large folios split test, a WARNING "[ 5059.122759][ T166]
Cannot split file folio to non-0 order" was triggered. But the test cases
are only for anonmous folios. while mapping_large_folio_support() is only
reasonable for page cache folios.
In split_huge_page_to_list_to_order(), the folio passed to
mapping_large_folio_support() maybe anonmous folio. The folio_test_anon()
check is missing. So the split of the anonmous THP is failed. This is
also the same for shmem_mapping(). We'd better add a check for both. But
the shmem_mapping() in __split_huge_page() is not involved, as for
anonmous folios, the end parameter is set to -1, so (head[i].index >= end)
is always false. shmem_mapping() is not called.
Also add a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() in mapping_large_folio_support() for anon
mapping, So we can detect the wrong use more easily.
THP folios maybe exist in the pagecache even the file system doesn't
support large folio, it is because when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is
enabled, khugepaged will try to collapse read-only file-backed pages to
THP. But the mapping does not actually support multi order large folios
properly.
Using /sys/kernel/debug/split_huge_pages to verify this, with this patch,
large anon THP is successfully split and the warning is ceased.

__split_huge_pmd_locked() can be called for a present THP, devmap or
(non-present) migration entry. It calls pmdp_invalidate() unconditionally
on the pmdp and only determines if it is present or not based on the
returned old pmd. This is a problem for the migration entry case because
pmd_mkinvalid(), called by pmdp_invalidate() must only be called for a
present pmd.
On arm64 at least, pmd_mkinvalid() will mark the pmd such that any future
call to pmd_present() will return true. And therefore any lockless
pgtable walker could see the migration entry pmd in this state and start
interpretting the fields as if it were present, leading to BadThings (TM).
GUP-fast appears to be one such lockless pgtable walker.
x86 does not suffer the above problem, but instead pmd_mkinvalid() will
corrupt the offset field of the swap entry within the swap pte. See link
below for discussion of that problem.
Fix all of this by only calling pmdp_invalidate() for a present pmd. And
for good measure let's add a warning to all implementations of
pmdp_invalidate[_ad](). I've manually reviewed all other
pmdp_invalidate[_ad]() call sites and believe all others to be conformant.
This is a theoretical bug found during code review. I don't have any test
case to trigger it in practice.

Instead of checking the anon_vma early in the fault path where all page
faults pay the cost, delay it until we know we're going to need the
anon_vma to be filled in. This will have a slight negative effect on the
first fault in an anonymous VMA, but it shortens every other page fault.
It also makes the code slightly cleaner as the anon and file backed fault
handling look more similar.
The Intel kernel test bot reports a 3x improvement in vm-scalability
throughput with the small-allocs-mt test. This is clearly an extreme
situation that won't be replicated in any real-world workload, but it's a
nice win.

Patch series "mm: add per-order mTHP alloc and swpout counters", v6.
The patchset introduces a framework to facilitate mTHP counters, starting
with the allocation and swap-out counters. Currently, only four new nodes
are appended to the stats directory for each mTHP size.
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-<size>/stats
anon_fault_alloc
anon_fault_fallback
anon_fault_fallback_charge
anon_swpout
anon_swpout_fallback
These nodes are crucial for us to monitor the fragmentation levels of both
the buddy system and the swap partitions. In the future, we may consider
adding additional nodes for further insights.
This patch (of 4):
Profiling a system blindly with mTHP has become challenging due to the
lack of visibility into its operations. Presenting the success rate of
mTHP allocations appears to be pressing need.
Recently, I've been experiencing significant difficulty debugging
performance improvements and regressions without these figures. It's
crucial for us to understand the true effectiveness of mTHP in real-world
scenarios, especially in systems with fragmented memory.
This patch establishes the framework for per-order mTHP counters. It
begins by introducing the anon_fault_alloc and anon_fault_fallback
counters. Additionally, to maintain consistency with
thp_fault_fallback_charge in /proc/vmstat, this patch also tracks
anon_fault_fallback_charge when mem_cgroup_charge fails for mTHP.
Incorporating additional counters should now be straightforward as well.

Instead of the VM_BUG_ON(), we should actually be doing something like

Patch series "Swap-out mTHP without splitting", v7.
This series adds support for swapping out multi-size THP (mTHP) without
needing to first split the large folio via
split_huge_page_to_list_to_order(). It closely follows the approach
already used to swap-out PMD-sized THP.
There are a couple of reasons for swapping out mTHP without splitting:
- Performance: It is expensive to split a large folio and under
extreme memory pressure some workloads regressed performance when
using 64K mTHP vs 4K small folios because of this extra cost in the
swap-out path. This series not only eliminates the regression but
makes it faster to swap out 64K mTHP vs 4K small folios.
- Memory fragmentation avoidance: If we can avoid splitting a large
folio memory is less likely to become fragmented, making it easier to
re-allocate a large folio in future.
- Performance: Enables a separate series [7] to swap-in whole mTHPs,
which means we won't lose the TLB-efficiency benefits of mTHP once the
memory has been through a swap cycle.
I've done what I thought was the smallest change possible, and as a
result, this approach is only employed when the swap is backed by a
non-rotating block device (just as PMD-sized THP is supported today).
Discussion against the RFC concluded that this is sufficient.
Performance Testing
===================
I've run some swap performance tests on Ampere Altra VM (arm64) with 8
CPUs. The VM is set up with a 35G block ram device as the swap device and
the test is run from inside a memcg limited to 40G memory. I've then run
`usemem` from vm-scalability with 70 processes, each allocating and
writing 1G of memory. I've repeated everything 6 times and taken the mean
performance improvement relative to 4K page baseline:
| alloc size | baseline | + this series |
| | mm-unstable (~v6.9-rc1) | |
|:-----------|------------------------:|------------------------:|
| 4K Page | 0.0% | 1.3% |
| 64K THP | -13.6% | 46.3% |
| 2M THP | 91.4% | 89.6% |
So with this change, the 64K swap performance goes from a 14% regression to a

This patch (of 7):
As preparation for supporting small-sized THP in the swap-out path,
without first needing to split to order-0, Remove the CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE,
which, when present, always implies PMD-sized THP, which is the same as
the cluster size.
The only use of the flag was to determine whether a swap entry refers to a
single page or a PMD-sized THP in swap_page_trans_huge_swapped(). Instead
of relying on the flag, we now pass in order, which originates from the
folio's order. This allows the logic to work for folios of any order.
The one snag is that one of the swap_page_trans_huge_swapped() call sites
does not have the folio. But it was only being called there to shortcut a
call __try_to_reclaim_swap() in some cases. __try_to_reclaim_swap() gets
the folio and (via some other functions) calls
swap_page_trans_huge_swapped(). So I've removed the problematic call site
and believe the new logic should be functionally equivalent.
That said, removing the fast path means that we will take a reference and
trylock a large folio much more often, which we would like to avoid. The
next patch will solve this.
Removing CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE also means we can remove split_swap_cluster()
which used to be called during folio splitting, since
split_swap_cluster()'s only job was to remove the flag.

When memory is being placed, mmap() will take care to respect the guard
gaps of certain types of memory (VM_SHADOWSTACK, VM_GROWSUP and
VM_GROWSDOWN). In order to ensure guard gaps between mappings, mmap()
needs to consider two things:
1. That the new mapping isn't placed in an any existing mappings guard
gaps.
2. That the new mapping isn't placed such that any existing mappings
are not in *its* guard gaps.
The longstanding behavior of mmap() is to ensure 1, but not take any care
around 2. So for example, if there is a PAGE_SIZE free area, and a mmap()
with a PAGE_SIZE size, and a type that has a guard gap is being placed,
mmap() may place the shadow stack in the PAGE_SIZE free area. Then the
mapping that is supposed to have a guard gap will not have a gap to the
adjacent VMA.
Add a THP implementations of the vm_flags variant of get_unmapped_area().
Future changes will call this from mmap.c in the do_mmap() path to allow
shadow stacks to be placed with consideration taken for the start guard
gap. Shadow stack memory is always private and anonymous and so special
guard gap logic is not needed in a lot of caseis, but it can be mapped by
THP, so needs to be handled.

The mm_struct contains a function pointer *get_unmapped_area(), which is
set to either arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown()
during the initialization of the mm.
Since the function pointer only ever points to two functions that are
named the same across all arch's, a function pointer is not really
required. In addition future changes will want to add versions of the
functions that take additional arguments. So to save a pointers worth of
bytes in mm_struct, and prevent adding additional function pointers to
mm_struct in future changes, remove it and keep the information about
which get_unmapped_area() to use in a flag.
Add the new flag to MMF_INIT_MASK so it doesn't get clobbered on fork by
mmf_init_flags(). Most MM flags get clobbered on fork. In the
pre-existing behavior mm->get_unmapped_area() would get copied to the new
mm in dup_mm(), so not clobbering the flag preserves the existing behavior
around inheriting the topdown-ness.
Introduce a helper, mm_get_unmapped_area(), to easily convert code that
refers to the old function pointer to instead select and call either
arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() based on the
flag. Then drop the mm->get_unmapped_area() function pointer. Leave the
get_unmapped_area() pointer in struct file_operations alone. The main
purpose of this change is to reorganize in preparation for future changes,
but it also converts the calls of mm->get_unmapped_area() from indirect
branches into a direct ones.
The stress-ng bigheap benchmark calls realloc a lot, which calls through
get_unmapped_area() in the kernel. On x86, the change yielded a ~1%
improvement there on a retpoline config.
In testing a few x86 configs, removing the pointer unfortunately didn't
result in any actual size reductions in the compiled layout of mm_struct.
But depending on compiler or arch alignment requirements, the change could
shrink the size of mm_struct.

Replace pmd_trans_huge() with pmd_leaf() to also cover pmd_huge() as long
as enabled.
FOLL_TOUCH and FOLL_SPLIT_PMD only apply to THP, not yet huge.
Since now follow_trans_huge_pmd() can process hugetlb pages, renaming it
into follow_huge_pmd() to match what it does. Move it into gup.c so not
depend on CONFIG_THP.
When at it, move the ctx->page_mask setup into follow_huge_pmd(), only set
it when the page is valid. It was not a bug to set it before even if GUP
failed (page==NULL), because follow_page_mask() callers always ignores
page_mask if so. But doing so makes the code cleaner.

Teach follow_pud_mask() to be able to handle normal PUD pages like
hugetlb.
Rename follow_devmap_pud() to follow_huge_pud() so that it can process
either huge devmap or hugetlb. Move it out of TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD
and and huge_memory.c (which relies on CONFIG_THP). Switch to pud_leaf()
to detect both cases in the slow gup.
In the new follow_huge_pud(), taking care of possible CoR for hugetlb if
necessary. touch_pud() needs to be moved out of huge_memory.c to be
accessable from gup.c even if !THP.
Since at it, optimize the non-present check by adding a pud_present()
early check before taking the pgtable lock, failing the follow_page()
early if PUD is not present: that is required by both devmap or hugetlb.
Use pud_huge() to also cover the pud_devmap() case.
One more trivial thing to mention is, introduce "pud_t pud" in the code
paths along the way, so the code doesn't dereference *pudp multiple time.
Not only because that looks less straightforward, but also because if the
dereference really happened, it's not clear whether there can be race to
see different *pudp values when it's being modified at the same time.
Setting ctx->page_mask properly for a PUD entry. As a side effect, this
patch should also be able to optimize devmap GUP on PUD to be able to jump
over the whole PUD range, but not yet verified. Hugetlb already can do so
prior to this patch.

Callers of folio_estimated_sharers() only care about "mapped shared vs.
mapped exclusively", not the exact estimate of sharers. Let's consolidate
and unify the condition users are checking. While at it clarify the
semantics and extend the discussion on the fuzziness.
Use the "likely mapped shared" terminology to better express what the
(adjusted) function actually checks.
Whether a partially-mappable folio is more likely to not be partially
mapped than partially mapped is debatable. In the future, we might be
able to improve our estimate for partially-mappable folios, though.
Note that we will now consistently detect "mapped shared" only if the
first subpage is actually mapped multiple times. When the first subpage
is not mapped, we will consistently detect it as "mapped exclusively".
This change should currently only affect the usage in
madvise_free_pte_range() and queue_folios_pte_range() for large folios: if
the first page was already unmapped, we would have skipped the folio.

Patch series "Various significant MM patches".
These patches all interact in annoying ways which make it tricky to send
them out in any way other than a big batch, even though there's not really
an overarching theme to connect them.
The big effects of this patch series are:
- folio_test_hugetlb() becomes reliable, even when called without a
page reference
- We free up PG_slab, and we could always use more page flags
- We no longer need to check PageSlab before calling page_mapcount()
This patch (of 9):
For compound pages which are at least order-2 (and hence have a
deferred_list), initialise it and then we can check at free that the page
is not part of a deferred list. We recently found this useful to rule out
a source of corruption.

When a high-order page is split into smaller ones, each newly split page
should get its codetag. After the split each split page will be
referencing the original codetag. The codetag's "bytes" counter remains
the same because the amount of allocated memory has not changed, however
the "calls" counter gets increased to keep the counter correct when these
individual pages get freed.
