Currently, when memory is hot-plugged or hot-removed the accounting is
done based on the assumption that memmap is allocated from the same node
as the hot-plugged/hot-removed memory, which is not always the case.
In addition, there are challenges with keeping the node id of the memory
that is being remove to the time when memmap accounting is actually
performed: since this is done after remove_pfn_range_from_zone(), and
also after remove_memory_block_devices(). Meaning that we cannot use
pgdat nor walking though memblocks to get the nid.
Given all of that, account the memmap overhead system wide instead.
For this we are going to be using global atomic counters, but given that
memmap size is rarely modified, and normally is only modified either
during early boot when there is only one CPU, or under a hotplug global
mutex lock, therefore there is no need for per-cpu optimizations.
Also, while we are here rename nr_memmap to nr_memmap_pages, and
nr_memmap_boot to nr_memmap_boot_pages to be self explanatory that the
units are in page count.

Patch series "Fixes for memmap accounting", v4.
Memmap accounting provides us with observability of how much memory is
used for per-page metadata: i.e. "struct page"'s and "struct page_ext".
It also provides with information of how much was allocated using
boot allocator (i.e. not part of MemTotal), and how much was allocated
using buddy allocated (i.e. part of MemTotal).
This small series fixes a few problems that were discovered with the
original patch.
This patch (of 3):
When we fail to allocate the mmemmap in alloc_vmemmap_page_list(), do not
account any already-allocated pages: we're going to free all them before
we return from the function.

While investigating HVO for THPs [1], it turns out that speculative PFN
walkers like compaction can race with vmemmap modifications, e.g.,
CPU 1 (vmemmap modifier) CPU 2 (speculative PFN walker)
------------------------------- ------------------------------
Allocates an LRU folio page1
Sees page1
Frees page1
Allocates a hugeTLB folio page2
(page1 being a tail of page2)
Updates vmemmap mapping page1
get_page_unless_zero(page1)
Even though page1->_refcount is zero after HVO, get_page_unless_zero() can
still try to modify this read-only field, resulting in a crash.
An independent report [2] confirmed this race.
There are two discussed approaches to fix this race:
1. Make RO vmemmap RW so that get_page_unless_zero() can fail without
triggering a PF.
2. Use RCU to make sure get_page_unless_zero() either sees zero
page->_refcount through the old vmemmap or non-zero page->_refcount
through the new one.
The second approach is preferred here because:
1. It can prevent illegal modifications to struct page[] that has been
HVO'ed;
2. It can be generalized, in a way similar to ZERO_PAGE(), to fix
similar races in other places, e.g., arch_remove_memory() on x86
[3], which frees vmemmap mapping offlined struct page[].
While adding synchronize_rcu(), the goal is to be surgical, rather than
optimized. Specifically, calls to synchronize_rcu() on the error handling
paths can be coalesced, but it is not done for the sake of Simplicity:
noticeably, this fix removes ~50% more lines than it adds.
According to the hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap section in
Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/vm.rst, enabling HVO makes allocating or
freeing hugeTLB pages "~2x slower than before". Having synchronize_rcu()
on top makes those operations even worse, and this also affects the user
interface /proc/sys/vm/nr_overcommit_hugepages.
This is *very* hard to trigger:
1. Most hugeTLB use cases I know of are static, i.e., reserved at
boot time, because allocating at runtime is not reliable at all.
2. On top of that, someone has to be very unlucky to get tripped
over above, because the race window is so small -- I wasn't able to
trigger it with a stress testing that does nothing but that (with
THPs though).

Today, we do not have any observability of per-page metadata and how much
it takes away from the machine capacity. Thus, we want to describe the
amount of memory that is going towards per-page metadata, which can vary
depending on build configuration, machine architecture, and system use.
This patch adds 2 fields to /proc/vmstat that can used as shown below:
Accounting per-page metadata allocated by boot-allocator:
/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap_boot * PAGE_SIZE
Accounting per-page metadata allocated by buddy-allocator:
/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap * PAGE_SIZE
Accounting total Perpage metadata allocated on the machine:
(/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap_boot +
/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap) * PAGE_SIZE
Utility for userspace:
Observability: Describe the amount of memory overhead that is going to
per-page metadata on the system at any given time since this overhead is
not currently observable.
Debugging: Tracking the changes or absolute value in struct pages can help
detect anomalies as they can be correlated with other metrics in the
machine (e.g., memtotal, number of huge pages, etc).
page_ext overheads: Some kernel features such as page_owner
page_table_check that use page_ext can be optionally enabled via kernel
parameters. Having the total per-page metadata information helps users
precisely measure impact. Furthermore, page-metadata metrics will reflect
the amount of struct pages reliquished (or overhead reduced) when
hugetlbfs pages are reserved which will vary depending on whether hugetlb
vmemmap optimization is enabled or not.

Due to significant differences in vmemmmap initialization for bootmem

We also modify the routine vmemmap_should_optimize() to check for pages
that are already optimized. There are code paths that might request

The new boot flow when it comes to initialization of gigantic pages is as
follows:
- At boot time, for a gigantic page during __alloc_bootmem_hugepage, the
region after the first struct page is marked as noinit.
- This results in only the first struct page to be initialized in
reserve_bootmem_region. As the tail struct pages are not initialized at
this point, there can be a significant saving in boot time if HVO
succeeds later on.
- Later on in the boot, the head page is prepped and the first
HUGETLB_VMEMMAP_RESERVE_SIZE / sizeof(struct page) - 1 tail struct pages
are initialized.
- HVO is attempted. If it is not successful, then the rest of the tail
struct pages are initialized. If it is successful, no more tail struct
pages need to be initialized saving significant boot time.
The WARN_ON for increased ref count in gather_bootmem_prealloc was changed
to a VM_BUG_ON. This is OK as there should be no speculative references
this early in boot process. The VM_BUG_ON's are there just in case such
code is introduced.

Patch series "mm: hugetlb: Skip initialization of gigantic tail struct
pages if freed by HVO", v5.
This series moves the boot time initialization of tail struct pages of a
gigantic page to later on in the boot. Only the
HUGETLB_VMEMMAP_RESERVE_SIZE / sizeof(struct page) - 1 tail struct pages
are initialized at the start. If HVO is successful, then no more tail
struct pages need to be initialized. For a 1G hugepage, this series avoid
initialization of 262144 - 63 = 262081 struct pages per hugepage.
When tested on a 512G system (allocating 500 1G hugepages), the kexec-boot
times with DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT enabled are:
- with patches, HVO enabled: 1.32 seconds
- with patches, HVO disabled: 2.15 seconds
- without patches, HVO enabled: 3.90 seconds
- without patches, HVO disabled: 3.58 seconds
This represents an approximately 70% reduction in boot time and will
significantly reduce server downtime when using a large number of gigantic
pages.
This patch (of 4):
If tail page prep and initialization is skipped, then the "start" page
will not contain the correct nid. Use the nid from first vmemap page.

need to be allocated from the same node during the hugetlb pages

Currently, vmemmap optimization of hugetlb pages is performed before the
hugetlb flag (previously hugetlb destructor) is set identifying it as a
hugetlb folio. This means there is a window of time where an ordinary
folio does not have all associated vmemmap present. The core mm only
expects vmemmap to be potentially optimized for hugetlb and device dax.
This can cause problems in code such as memory error handling that may
want to write to tail struct pages.
There is only one call to perform hugetlb vmemmap optimization today. To
fix this issue, simply set the hugetlb flag before that call.
There was a similar issue in the free hugetlb path that was previously
addressed. The two routines that optimize or restore hugetlb vmemmap
should only be passed hugetlb folios/pages. To catch any callers not
following this rule, add VM_WARN_ON calls to the routines. In the hugetlb
free code paths, some calls could be made to restore vmemmap after
clearing the hugetlb flag. This was 'safe' as in these cases vmemmap was
already present and the call was a NOOP. However, for consistency these
calls where eliminated so that we can add the VM_WARN_ON checks.

The effect may be in set_pte_at() since we may pass an invalid page

CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK is enabled), it may crash the kernel.
So fix it. And inline __split_vmemmap_huge_pmd() since it only has one

Convert all instances of direct pte_t* dereferencing to instead use
ptep_get() helper. This means that by default, the accesses change from a
C dereference to a READ_ONCE(). This is technically the correct thing to
do since where pgtables are modified by HW (for access/dirty) they are
volatile and therefore we should always ensure READ_ONCE() semantics.
But more importantly, by always using the helper, it can be overridden by
the architecture to fully encapsulate the contents of the pte. Arch code
is deliberately not converted, as the arch code knows best. It is
intended that arch code (arm64) will override the default with its own
implementation that can (e.g.) hide certain bits from the core code, or
determine young/dirty status by mixing in state from another source.
Conversion was done using Coccinelle:
----
// $ make coccicheck \
// COCCI=ptepget.cocci \
// SPFLAGS="--include-headers" \
// MODE=patch
virtual patch
@ depends on patch @
pte_t *v;
@@
- *v
+ ptep_get(v)
----
Then reviewed and hand-edited to avoid multiple unnecessary calls to
ptep_get(), instead opting to store the result of a single call in a
variable, where it is correct to do so. This aims to negate any cost of
READ_ONCE() and will benefit arch-overrides that may be more complex.
Included is a fix for an issue in an earlier version of this patch that
was pointed out by kernel test robot. The issue arose because config
MMU=n elides definition of the ptep helper functions, including
ptep_get(). HUGETLB_PAGE=n configs still define a simple
huge_ptep_clear_flush() for linking purposes, which dereferences the ptep.
So when both configs are disabled, this caused a build error because
ptep_get() is not defined. Fix by continuing to do a direct dereference
when MMU=n. This is safe because for this config the arch code cannot be
trying to virtualize the ptes because none of the ptep helpers are
defined.

HugeTLB pages have a struct page optimizations where struct pages for tail
pages are freed. However, when HugeTLB pages are destroyed, the memory
for struct pages (vmemmap) need to be allocated again.
Currently, __GFP_NORETRY flag is used to allocate the memory for vmemmap,
but given that this flag makes very little effort to actually reclaim
memory the returning of huge pages back to the system can be problem.
Lets use __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL instead. This flag is also performs graceful
reclaim without causing ooms, but at least it may perform a few retries,
and will fail only when there is genuinely little amount of unused memory
in the system.
Freeing a 1G page requires 16M of free memory. A machine might need to be
reconfigured from one task to another, and release a large number of 1G
pages back to the system if allocating 16M fails, the release won't work.

Commit 700d2e9a36 ("mm, page_alloc: reduce page alloc/free sanity
checks") has introduced a new static key check_pages_enabled to control
when struct pages are sanity checked during allocation and freeing. Mel
Gorman suggested that free_tail_pages_check() could use this static key as
well, instead of relying on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM. That makes sense, so do
that. Also rename the function to free_tail_page_prepare() because it
works on a single tail page and has a struct page preparation component as
well as the optional checking component.
Also remove some unnecessary unlikely() within static_branch_unlikely()
statements that Mel pointed out for commit 700d2e9a36.

Currently proc_dobool expects a (bool *) in table->data, but sizeof(int)
in table->maxsize, because it uses do_proc_dointvec() directly.
This is unsafe for at least two reasons:
1. A sysctl table definition may use { .data = &variable, .maxsize =
sizeof(variable) }, not realizing that this makes the sysctl unusable
(see the Fixes: tag) and that they need to use the completely
counterintuitive sizeof(int) instead.
2. proc_dobool() will currently try to parse an array of values if given
.maxsize >= 2*sizeof(int), but will try to write values of type bool
by offsets of sizeof(int), so it will not work correctly with neither
an (int *) nor a (bool *). There is no .maxsize validation to prevent
this.
Fix this by:
1. Constraining proc_dobool() to allow only one value and .maxsize ==
sizeof(bool).
2. Wrapping the original struct ctl_table in a temporary one with .data
pointing to a local int variable and .maxsize set to sizeof(int) and
passing this one to proc_dointvec(), converting the value to/from
bool as needed (using proc_dou8vec_minmax() as an example).
3. Extending sysctl_check_table() to enforce proc_dobool() expectations.
4. Fixing the proc_dobool() docstring (it was just copy-pasted from
proc_douintvec, apparently...).
5. Converting all existing proc_dobool() users to set .maxsize to
sizeof(bool) instead of sizeof(int).

Today with `hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on` the struct page memory that is freed
back to page allocator is as following: for a 2M hugetlb page it will reuse
the first 4K vmemmap page to remap the remaining 7 vmemmap pages, and for a
1G hugetlb it will remap the remaining 4095 vmemmap pages. Essentially,
that means that it breaks the first 4K of a potentially contiguous chunk of
memory of 32K (for 2M hugetlb pages) or 16M (for 1G hugetlb pages). For
this reason the memory that it's free back to page allocator cannot be used
for hugetlb to allocate huge pages of the same size, but rather only of a
smaller huge page size:
Trying to assign a 64G node to hugetlb (on a 128G 2node guest, each node
having 64G):
* Before allocation:
Free pages count per migrate type at order 0 1 2 3
4 5 6 7 8 9 10
...
Node 0, zone Normal, type Movable 340 100 32 15
1 2 0 0 0 1 15558
$ echo 32768 > /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
$ cat /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
31987
* After:
Node 0, zone Normal, type Movable 30893 32006 31515 7
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Notice how the memory freed back are put back into 4K / 8K / 16K page
pools. And it allocates a total of 31987 pages (63974M).
To fix this behaviour rather than remapping second vmemmap page (thus
breaking the contiguous block of memory backing the struct pages)
repopulate the first vmemmap page with a new one. We allocate and copy
from the currently mapped vmemmap page, and then remap it later on.
The same algorithm works if there's a pre initialized walk::reuse_page
and the head page doesn't need to be skipped and instead we remap it
when the @addr being changed is the @reuse_addr.
The new head page is allocated in vmemmap_remap_free() given that on
restore there's no need for functional change. Note that, because right
now one hugepage is remapped at a time, thus only one free 4K page at a
time is needed to remap the head page. Should it fail to allocate said
new page, it reuses the one that's already mapped just like before. As a
result, for every 64G of contiguous hugepages it can give back 1G more
of contiguous memory per 64G, while needing in total 128M new 4K pages
(for 2M hugetlb) or 256k (for 1G hugetlb).
After the changes, try to assign a 64G node to hugetlb (on a 128G 2node
guest, each node with 64G):
* Before allocation
Free pages count per migrate type at order 0 1 2 3
4 5 6 7 8 9 10
...
Node 0, zone Normal, type Movable 1 1 1 0
0 1 0 0 1 1 15564
$ echo 32768 > /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
$ cat /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
32394
* After:
Node 0, zone Normal, type Movable 0 50 97 108
96 81 70 46 18 0 0
In the example above, 407 more hugeltb 2M pages are allocated i.e. 814M out
of the 32394 (64788M) allocated. So the memory freed back is indeed being
used back in hugetlb and there's no massive order-0..order-2 pages
accumulated unused.

There is a discussion about the name of hugetlb_vmemmap_alloc/free in
thread [1]. The suggestion suggested by David is rename "alloc/free" to
"optimize/restore" to make functionalities clearer to users, "optimize"
means the function will optimize vmemmap pages, while "restore" means
restoring its vmemmap pages discared before. This commit does this.
Another discussion is the confusion RESERVE_VMEMMAP_NR isn't used
explicitly for vmemmap_addr but implicitly for vmemmap_end in
hugetlb_vmemmap_alloc/free. David suggested we can compute what
hugetlb_vmemmap_init() does now at runtime. We do not need to worry for
the overhead of computing at runtime since the calculation is simple
enough and those functions are not in a hot path. This commit has the
following improvements:
1) The function suffixed name ("optimize/restore") is more expressive.
2) The logic becomes less weird in hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize/restore().
3) The hugetlb_vmemmap_init() does not need to be exported anymore.
4) A ->optimize_vmemmap_pages field in struct hstate is killed.
5) There is only one place where checks is_power_of_2(sizeof(struct
page)) instead of two places.
6) Add more comments for hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize/restore().
7) For external users, hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_pages() is used for
detecting if the HugeTLB's vmemmap pages is optimizable originally.
In this commit, it is killed and we introduce a new helper
hugetlb_vmemmap_optimizable() to replace it. The name is more
expressive.

There is no order requirement between the parameter of
"hugetlb_free_vmemmap" and "hugepages" since we have removed the check of
whether HVO is enabled from hugetlb_vmemmap_init(). Therefore we can
safely replace early_param() with core_param() to simplify the code.

When I first introduced vmemmap manipulation functions related to HugeTLB,
I thought those functions may be reused by other modules (e.g. using
similar approach to optimize vmemmap pages, unfortunately, the DAX used
the same approach but does not use those functions). After two years, we
didn't see any other users. So move those functions to hugetlb_vmemmap.c.
Code movement without any functional change.

It it inconvenient to mention the feature of optimizing vmemmap pages
associated with HugeTLB pages when communicating with others since there
is no specific or abbreviated name for it when it is first introduced.
Let us give it a name HVO (HugeTLB Vmemmap Optimization) from now.
This commit also updates the document about "hugetlb_free_vmemmap" by the
way discussed in thread [1].

We hold an another reference to hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_key when making
vmemmap_optimize_mode on, because we use static_key to tell memory_hotplug
that memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory should be overridden. However, this
rule has gone when we have introduced PageVmemmapSelfHosted. Therefore,
we could simplify vmemmap_optimize_mode handling by not holding an another
reference to hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_key. This also means that we not
incur the extra page_fixed_fake_head checks if there are no vmemmap
optinmized hugetlb pages after this change.

For now, the feature of hugetlb_free_vmemmap is not compatible with the
feature of memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory, and hugetlb_free_vmemmap takes
precedence over memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory. However, someone wants
to make memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory takes precedence over
hugetlb_free_vmemmap since memmap_on_memory makes it more likely to
succeed memory hotplug in close-to-OOM situations. So the decision of
making hugetlb_free_vmemmap take precedence is not wise and elegant.
The proper approach is to have hugetlb_vmemmap.c do the check whether the
section which the HugeTLB pages belong to can be optimized. If the
section's vmemmap pages are allocated from the added memory block itself,
hugetlb_free_vmemmap should refuse to optimize the vmemmap, otherwise, do
the optimization. Then both kernel parameters are compatible. So this
patch introduces VmemmapSelfHosted to mask any non-optimizable vmemmap
pages. The hugetlb_vmemmap can use this flag to detect if a vmemmap page
can be optimized.

We must add hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on (or "off") to the boot cmdline and
reboot the server to enable or disable the feature of optimizing vmemmap
pages associated with HugeTLB pages. However, rebooting usually takes a
long time. So add a sysctl to enable or disable the feature at runtime
without rebooting. Why we need this? There are 3 use cases.
1) The feature of minimizing overhead of struct page associated with
each HugeTLB is disabled by default without passing
"hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" to the boot cmdline. When we (ByteDance)
deliver the servers to the users who want to enable this feature, they
have to configure the grub (change boot cmdline) and reboot the
servers, whereas rebooting usually takes a long time (we have thousands
of servers). It's a very bad experience for the users. So we need a
approach to enable this feature after rebooting. This is a use case in
our practical environment.
2) Some use cases are that HugeTLB pages are allocated 'on the fly'
instead of being pulled from the HugeTLB pool, those workloads would be
affected with this feature enabled. Those workloads could be
identified by the characteristics of they never explicitly allocating
huge pages with 'nr_hugepages' but only set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages'
and then let the pages be allocated from the buddy allocator at fault
time. We can confirm it is a real use case from the commit
099730d674. For those workloads, the page fault time could be ~2x
slower than before. We suspect those users want to disable this
feature if the system has enabled this before and they don't think the
memory savings benefit is enough to make up for the performance drop.
3) If the workload which wants vmemmap pages to be optimized and the
workload which wants to set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages' and does not want
the extera overhead at fault time when the overcommitted pages be
allocated from the buddy allocator are deployed in the same server.
The user could enable this feature and set 'nr_hugepages' and
'nr_overcommit_hugepages', then disable the feature. In this case, the
overcommited HugeTLB pages will not encounter the extra overhead at
fault time.

Patch series "add hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap sysctl", v11.
This series aims to add hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap sysctl to enable or
disable the feature of optimizing vmemmap pages associated with HugeTLB
pages.
This patch (of 4):
If the size of "struct page" is not the power of two but with the feature
of minimizing overhead of struct page associated with each HugeTLB is
enabled, then the vmemmap pages of HugeTLB will be corrupted after
remapping (panic is about to happen in theory). But this only exists when
!CONFIG_MEMCG && !CONFIG_SLUB on x86_64. However, it is not a
conventional configuration nowadays. So it is not a real word issue, just
the result of a code review.
But we cannot prevent anyone from configuring that combined configure.
This hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap should be disable in this case to fix this
issue.
