932f4a630a mm/gup: replace get_user_pages_longterm() with FOLL_LONGTERM
Pach series "Add FOLL_LONGTERM to GUP fast and use it".

HFI1, qib, and mthca, use get_user_pages_fast() due to its performance
advantages.  These pages can be held for a significant time.  But
get_user_pages_fast() does not protect against mapping FS DAX pages.

Introduce FOLL_LONGTERM and use this flag in get_user_pages_fast() which
retains the performance while also adding the FS DAX checks.  XDP has also
shown interest in using this functionality.[1]

In addition we change get_user_pages() to use the new FOLL_LONGTERM flag
and remove the specialized get_user_pages_longterm call.

[1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/3/19/939

"longterm" is a relative thing and at this point is probably a misnomer.
This is really flagging a pin which is going to be given to hardware and
can't move.  I've thought of a couple of alternative names but I think we
have to settle on if we are going to use FL_LAYOUT or something else to
solve the "longterm" problem.  Then I think we can change the flag to a
better name.

Secondly, it depends on how often you are registering memory.  I have
spoken with some RDMA users who consider MR in the performance path...
For the overall application performance.  I don't have the numbers as the
tests for HFI1 were done a long time ago.  But there was a significant
advantage.  Some of which is probably due to the fact that you don't have
to hold mmap_sem.

Finally, architecturally I think it would be good for everyone to use
*_fast.  There are patches submitted to the RDMA list which would allow
the use of *_fast (they reworking the use of mmap_sem) and as soon as they
are accepted I'll submit a patch to convert the RDMA core as well.  Also
to this point others are looking to use *_fast.

As an aside, Jasons pointed out in my previous submission that *_fast and
*_unlocked look very much the same.  I agree and I think further cleanup
will be coming.  But I'm focused on getting the final solution for DAX at
the moment.

This patch (of 7):

This patch starts a series which aims to support FOLL_LONGTERM in
get_user_pages_fast().  Some callers who would like to do a longterm (user
controlled pin) of pages with the fast variant of GUP for performance
purposes.

Rather than have a separate get_user_pages_longterm() call, introduce
FOLL_LONGTERM and change the longterm callers to use it.

This patch does not change any functionality.  In the short term
"longterm" or user controlled pins are unsafe for Filesystems and FS DAX
in particular has been blocked.  However, callers of get_user_pages_fast()
were not "protected".

FOLL_LONGTERM can _only_ be supported with get_user_pages[_fast]() as it
requires vmas to determine if DAX is in use.

NOTE: In merging with the CMA changes we opt to change the
get_user_pages() call in check_and_migrate_cma_pages() to a call of
__get_user_pages_locked() on the newly migrated pages.  This makes the
code read better in that we are calling __get_user_pages_locked() on the
pages before and after a potential migration.

As a side affect some of the interfaces are cleaned up but this is not the
primary purpose of the series.

In review[1] it was asked:

A couple of points.

First "longterm" is a relative thing and at this point is probably a
misnomer.  This is really flagging a pin which is going to be given to
hardware and can't move.  I've thought of a couple of alternative names
but I think we have to settle on if we are going to use FL_LAYOUT or
something else to solve the "longterm" problem.  Then I think we can
change the flag to a better name.

Second, It depends on how often you are registering memory.  I have spoken
with some RDMA users who consider MR in the performance path...  For the
overall application performance.  I don't have the numbers as the tests
for HFI1 were done a long time ago.  But there was a significant
advantage.  Some of which is probably due to the fact that you don't have

Finally, architecturally I think it would be good for everyone to use

the use of *_fast (they reworking the use of mmap_sem) and as soon as they
are accepted I'll submit a patch to convert the RDMA core as well.  Also
to this point others are looking to use *_fast.

As an asside, Jasons pointed out in my previous submission that *_fast and
*_unlocked look very much the same.  I agree and I think further cleanup
will be coming.  But I'm focused on getting the final solution for DAX at
the moment.

d9f7979c92 mm: no need to check return value of debugfs_create functions
When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
return value.  The function can work or not, but the code logic should
never do something different based on this.

4b408c74ee mm/gup_benchmark.c: prevent integer overflow in ioctl
The concern here is that "gup->size" is a u64 and "nr_pages" is unsigned
long.  On 32 bit systems we could trick the kernel into allocating fewer
pages than expected.

26db3d09d9 mm/gup_benchmark.c: time put_page()
We'd like to measure time to unpin user pages, so this adds a second
benchmark timer on put_page, separate from get_page.

Adding the field breaks this ioctl ABI, but should be okay since this an
in-tree kernel selftest.

778e1cdd81 treewide: kvzalloc() -> kvcalloc()
The kvzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kvcalloc(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kvzalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
        kvcalloc(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kvzalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

        kvzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kvcalloc(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kvzalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

09e35a4a1c mm/gup_benchmark: handle gup failures
Patch series "mm/get_user_pages_fast fixes, cleanups", v2.

Turns out get_user_pages_fast and __get_user_pages_fast return different
values on error when given a single page: __get_user_pages_fast returns
0.  get_user_pages_fast returns either 0 or an error.

Callers of get_user_pages_fast expect an error so fix it up to return an
error consistently.

Stress the difference between get_user_pages_fast and
__get_user_pages_fast to make sure callers aren't confused.

This patch (of 3):

__gup_benchmark_ioctl does not handle the case where get_user_pages_fast
fails:

 - a negative return code will cause a buffer overrun

 - returning with partial success will cause use of uninitialized
   memory.
