mm: incorporate read-only pages into transparent huge pages
This patch aims to improve THP collapse rates, by allowing THP collapse in the presence of read-only ptes, like those left in place by do_swap_page after a read fault. Currently THP can collapse 4kB pages into a THP when there are up to khugepaged_max_ptes_none pte_none ptes in a 2MB range. This patch applies the same limit for read-only ptes. The patch was tested with a test program that allocates 800MB of memory, writes to it, and then sleeps. I force the system to swap out all but 190MB of the program by touching other memory. Afterwards, the test program does a mix of reads and writes to its memory, and the memory gets swapped back in. Without the patch, only the memory that did not get swapped out remained in THPs, which corresponds to 24% of the memory of the program. The percentage did not increase over time. With this patch, after 5 minutes of waiting khugepaged had collapsed 50% of the program's memory back into THPs. Test results: With the patch: After swapped out: cat /proc/pid/smaps: Anonymous: 100464 kB AnonHugePages: 100352 kB Swap: 699540 kB Fraction: 99,88 cat /proc/meminfo: AnonPages: 1754448 kB AnonHugePages: 1716224 kB Fraction: 97,82 After swapped in: In a few seconds: cat /proc/pid/smaps: Anonymous: 800004 kB AnonHugePages: 145408 kB Swap: 0 kB Fraction: 18,17 cat /proc/meminfo: AnonPages: 2455016 kB AnonHugePages: 1761280 kB Fraction: 71,74 In 5 minutes: cat /proc/pid/smaps Anonymous: 800004 kB AnonHugePages: 407552 kB Swap: 0 kB Fraction: 50,94 cat /proc/meminfo: AnonPages: 2456872 kB AnonHugePages: 2023424 kB Fraction: 82,35 Without the patch: After swapped out: cat /proc/pid/smaps: Anonymous: 190660 kB AnonHugePages: 190464 kB Swap: 609344 kB Fraction: 99,89 cat /proc/meminfo: AnonPages: 1740456 kB AnonHugePages: 1667072 kB Fraction: 95,78 After swapped in: cat /proc/pid/smaps: Anonymous: 800004 kB AnonHugePages: 190464 kB Swap: 0 kB Fraction: 23,80 cat /proc/meminfo: AnonPages: 2350032 kB AnonHugePages: 1667072 kB Fraction: 70,93 I waited 10 minutes the fractions did not change without the patch.

vmstat: do not use deferrable delayed work for vmstat_update
Vinayak Menon has reported that an excessive number of tasks was throttled in the direct reclaim inside too_many_isolated() because NR_ISOLATED_FILE was relatively high compared to NR_INACTIVE_FILE. However it turned out that the real number of NR_ISOLATED_FILE was 0 and the per-cpu vm_stat_diff wasn't transferred into the global counter. vmstat_work which is responsible for the sync is defined as deferrable delayed work which means that the defined timeout doesn't wake up an idle CPU. A CPU might stay in an idle state for a long time and general effort is to keep such a CPU in this state as long as possible which might lead to all sorts of troubles for vmstat consumers as can be seen with the excessive direct reclaim throttling. This patch basically reverts |

mm: more aggressive page stealing for UNMOVABLE allocations
When allocation falls back to stealing free pages of another migratetype, it can decide to steal extra pages, or even the whole pageblock in order to reduce fragmentation, which could happen if further allocation fallbacks pick a different pageblock. In try_to_steal_freepages(), one of the situations where extra pages are stolen happens when we are trying to allocate a MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE page. However, MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE allocations are not treated the same way, although spreading such allocation over multiple fallback pageblocks is arguably even worse than it is for RECLAIMABLE allocations. To minimize fragmentation, we should minimize the number of such fallbacks, and thus steal as much as is possible from each fallback pageblock. Note that in theory this might put more pressure on movable pageblocks and cause movable allocations to steal back from unmovable pageblocks. However, movable allocations are not as aggressive with stealing, and do not cause permanent fragmentation, so the tradeoff is reasonable, and evaluation seems to support the change. This patch thus adds a check for MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE to the decision to steal extra free pages. When evaluating with stress-highalloc from mmtests, this has reduced the number of MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE fallbacks to roughly 1/6. The number of these fallbacks stealing from MIGRATE_MOVABLE block is reduced to 1/3. There was no observation of growing number of unmovable pageblocks over time, and also not of increased movable allocation fallbacks.

mm: always steal split buddies in fallback allocations
When allocation falls back to another migratetype, it will steal a page with highest available order, and (depending on this order and desired migratetype), it might also steal the rest of free pages from the same pageblock. Given the preference of highest available order, it is likely that it will be higher than the desired order, and result in the stolen buddy page being split. The remaining pages after split are currently stolen only when the rest of the free pages are stolen. This can however lead to situations where for MOVABLE allocations we split e.g. order-4 fallback UNMOVABLE page, but steal only order-0 page. Then on the next MOVABLE allocation (which may be batched to fill the pcplists) we split another order-3 or higher page, etc. By stealing all pages that we have split, we can avoid further stealing. This patch therefore adjusts the page stealing so that buddy pages created by split are always stolen. This has effect only on MOVABLE allocations, as RECLAIMABLE and UNMOVABLE allocations already always do that in addition to stealing the rest of free pages from the pageblock. The change also allows to simplify try_to_steal_freepages() and factor out CMA handling. According to Mel, it has been intended since the beginning that buddy pages after split would be stolen always, but it doesn't seem like it was ever the case until commit |

mm: when stealing freepages, also take pages created by splitting buddy page
When studying page stealing, I noticed some weird looking decisions in try_to_steal_freepages(). The first I assume is a bug (Patch 1), the following two patches were driven by evaluation. Testing was done with stress-highalloc of mmtests, using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint and postprocessing to get counts of how often page stealing occurs for individual migratetypes, and what migratetypes are used for fallbacks. Arguably, the worst case of page stealing is when UNMOVABLE allocation steals from MOVABLE pageblock. RECLAIMABLE allocation stealing from MOVABLE allocation is also not ideal, so the goal is to minimize these two cases. The evaluation of v2 wasn't always clear win and Joonsoo questioned the results. Here I used different baseline which includes RFC compaction improvements from [1]. I found that the compaction improvements reduce variability of stress-highalloc, so there's less noise in the data. First, let's look at stress-highalloc configured to do sync compaction, and how these patches reduce page stealing events during the test. First column is after fresh reboot, other two are reiterations of test without reboot. That was all accumulater over 5 re-iterations (so the benchmark was run 5x3 times with 5 fresh restarts).

Here, each patch improves the situation for unmovable events. Reclaimable is improved by patch 1 and then either the same modulo noise, or perhaps sligtly worse - a small price for unmovable improvements, IMHO. The number of movable allocations falling back to other migratetypes is most noisy, but it's reduced to half at Patch 2 nevertheless. These are least critical as compaction can move them around. If we look at success rates, the patches don't affect them, that didn't change.

Configuring the benchmark to allocate like THP page fault (i.e. no sync compaction) gives much noisier results for iterations 2 and 3 after reboot. This is not so surprising given how [1] offers lower improvements in this scenario due to less restarts after deferred compaction which would change compaction pivot.

mm: pagewalk: fix misbehavior of walk_page_range for vma(VM_PFNMAP)
walk_page_range() silently skips vma having VM_PFNMAP set, which leads to undesirable behaviour at client end (who called walk_page_range). For example for pagemap_read(), when no callbacks are called against VM_PFNMAP vma, pagemap_read() may prepare pagemap data for next virtual address range at wrong index. That could confuse and/or break userspace applications. This patch avoid this misbehavior caused by vma(VM_PFNMAP) like follows: - for pagemap_read() which has its own ->pte_hole(), call the ->pte_hole() over vma(VM_PFNMAP), - for clear_refs and queue_pages which have their own ->tests_walk, just return 1 and skip vma(VM_PFNMAP). This is no problem because these are not interested in hole regions, - for other callers, just skip the vma(VM_PFNMAP) as a default behavior.

mempolicy: apply page table walker on queue_pages_range()
queue_pages_range() does page table walking in its own way now, but there is some code duplicate. This patch applies page table walker to reduce lines of code. queue_pages_range() has to do some precheck to determine whether we really walk over the vma or just skip it. Now we have test_walk() callback in mm_walk for this purpose, so we can do this replacement cleanly. queue_pages_test_walk() depends on not only the current vma but also the previous one, so queue_pages->prev is introduced to remember it.

pagewalk: improve vma handling
Current implementation of page table walker has a fundamental problem in vma handling, which started when we tried to handle vma(VM_HUGETLB). Because it's done in pgd loop, considering vma boundary makes code complicated and bug-prone. From the users viewpoint, some user checks some vma-related condition to determine whether the user really does page walk over the vma. In order to solve these, this patch moves vma check outside pgd loop and introduce a new callback ->test_walk(). Signed-off-by: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Acked-by: Kirill A.

mm: gup: add get_user_pages_locked and get_user_pages_unlocked
FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY allows the page fault to drop the mmap_sem for reading to reduce the mmap_sem contention (for writing), like while waiting for I/O completion. The problem is that right now practically no get_user_pages call uses FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY, so we're not leveraging that nifty feature. Andres fixed it for the KVM page fault. However get_user_pages_fast remains uncovered, and 99% of other get_user_pages aren't using it either (the only exception being FOLL_NOWAIT in KVM which is really nonblocking and in fact it doesn't even release the mmap_sem). So this patchsets extends the optimization Andres did in the KVM page fault to the whole kernel. It makes most important places (including gup_fast) to use FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY to reduce the mmap_sem hold times during I/O. The only few places that remains uncovered are drivers like v4l and other exceptions that tends to work on their own memory and they're not working on random user memory (for example like O_DIRECT that uses gup_fast and is fully covered by this patch). A follow up patch should probably also add a printk_once warning to get_user_pages that should go obsolete and be phased out eventually. The "vmas" parameter of get_user_pages makes it fundamentally incompatible with FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY (vmas array becomes meaningless the moment the mmap_sem is released). While this is just an optimization, this becomes an absolute requirement for the userfaultfd feature http://lwn.net/Articles/615086/ . The userfaultfd allows to block the page fault, and in order to do so I need to drop the mmap_sem first. So this patch also ensures that all memory where userfaultfd could be registered by KVM, the very first fault (no matter if it is a regular page fault, or a get_user_pages) always has FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY set. Then the userfaultfd blocks and it is waken only when the pagetable is already mapped. The second fault attempt after the wakeup doesn't need FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY, so it's ok to retry without it. This patch (of 5): We can leverage the VM_FAULT_RETRY functionality in the page fault paths better by using either get_user_pages_locked or get_user_pages_unlocked. The former allows conversion of get_user_pages invocations that will have to pass a "&locked" parameter to know if the mmap_sem was dropped during the call. Example from: down_read(&mm->mmap_sem); do_something() get_user_pages(tsk, mm, ..., pages, NULL); up_read(&mm->mmap_sem); to: int locked = 1; down_read(&mm->mmap_sem); do_something() get_user_pages_locked(tsk, mm, ..., pages, &locked); if (locked) up_read(&mm->mmap_sem); The latter is suitable only as a drop in replacement of the form: down_read(&mm->mmap_sem); get_user_pages(tsk, mm, ..., pages, NULL); up_read(&mm->mmap_sem); into: get_user_pages_unlocked(tsk, mm, ..., pages); Where tsk, mm, the intermediate "..." paramters and "pages" can be any value as before. Just the last parameter of get_user_pages (vmas) must be NULL for get_user_pages_locked|unlocked to be usable (the latter original form wouldn't have been safe anyway if vmas wasn't null, for the former we just make it explicit by dropping the parameter). If vmas is not NULL these two methods cannot be used.

mm/mempolicy.c: merge alloc_hugepage_vma to alloc_pages_vma
The previous commit ("mm/thp: Allocate transparent hugepages on local node") introduced alloc_hugepage_vma() to mm/mempolicy.c to perform a special policy for THP allocations. The function has the same interface as alloc_pages_vma(), shares a lot of boilerplate code and a long comment. This patch merges the hugepage special case into alloc_pages_vma. The extra if condition should be cheap enough price to pay. We also prevent a (however unlikely) race with parallel mems_allowed update, which could make hugepage allocation restart only within the fallback call to alloc_hugepage_vma() and not reconsider the special rule in alloc_hugepage_vma(). Also by making sure mpol_cond_put(pol) is always called before actual allocation attempt, we can use a single exit path within the function. Also update the comment for missing node parameter and obsolete reference to mm_sem.

mm/thp: allocate transparent hugepages on local node
This make sure that we try to allocate hugepages from local node if allowed by mempolicy. If we can't, we fallback to small page allocation based on mempolicy. This is based on the observation that allocating pages on local node is more beneficial than allocating hugepages on remote node. With this patch applied we may find transparent huge page allocation failures if the current node doesn't have enough freee hugepages. Before this patch such failures result in us retrying the allocation on other nodes in the numa node mask.

mm: fix false-positive warning on exit due mm_nr_pmds(mm)
The problem is that we check nr_ptes/nr_pmds in exit_mmap() which happens *before* pgd_free(). And if an arch does pte/pmd allocation in pgd_alloc() and frees them in pgd_free() we see offset in counters by the time of the checks. We tried to workaround this by offsetting expected counter value according to FIRST_USER_ADDRESS for both nr_pte and nr_pmd in exit_mmap(). But it doesn't work in some cases: 1. ARM with LPAE enabled also has non-zero USER_PGTABLES_CEILING, but upper addresses occupied with huge pmd entries, so the trick with offsetting expected counter value will get really ugly: we will have to apply it nr_pmds, but not nr_ptes. 2. Metag has non-zero FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, but doesn't do allocation pte/pmd page tables allocation in pgd_alloc(), just setup a pgd entry which is allocated at boot and shared accross all processes. The proposal is to move the check to check_mm() which happens *after* pgd_free() and do proper accounting during pgd_alloc() and pgd_free() which would bring counters to zero if nothing leaked.

mm: account pmd page tables to the process
Dave noticed that unprivileged process can allocate significant amount of memory -- >500 MiB on x86_64 -- and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and memory cgroup. The trick is to allocate a lot of PMD page tables. Linux kernel doesn't account PMD tables to the process, only PTE. The use-cases below use few tricks to allocate a lot of PMD page tables while keeping VmRSS and VmPTE low. oom_score for the process will be 0. #include <errno.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/prctl.h> #define PUD_SIZE (1UL << 30) #define PMD_SIZE (1UL << 21) #define NR_PUD 130000 int main(void) { char *addr = NULL; unsigned long i; prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE); for (i = 0; i < NR_PUD ; i++) { addr = mmap(addr + PUD_SIZE, PUD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0); if (addr == MAP_FAILED) { perror("mmap"); break; } *addr = 'x'; munmap(addr, PMD_SIZE); mmap(addr, PMD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, -1, 0); if (addr == MAP_FAILED) perror("re-mmap"), exit(1); } printf("PID %d consumed %lu KiB in PMD page tables\n", getpid(), i * 4096 >> 10); return pause(); } The patch addresses the issue by account PMD tables to the process the same way we account PTE. The main place where PMD tables is accounted is __pmd_alloc() and free_pmd_range(). But there're few corner cases: - HugeTLB can share PMD page tables. The patch handles by accounting the table to all processes who share it. - x86 PAE pre-allocates few PMD tables on fork. - Architectures with FIRST_USER_ADDRESS > 0. We need to adjust sanity check on exit(2). Accounting only happens on configuration where PMD page table's level is present (PMD is not folded). As with nr_ptes we use per-mm counter. The counter value is used to calculate baseline for badness score by oom-killer. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

oom: thaw the OOM victim if it is frozen
oom_kill_process only sets TIF_MEMDIE flag and sends a signal to the victim. This is basically noop when the task is frozen though because the task sleeps in the uninterruptible sleep. The victim is eventually thawed later when oom_scan_process_thread meets the task again in a later OOM invocation so the OOM killer doesn't live lock. But this is less than optimal. Let's add __thaw_task into mark_tsk_oom_victim after we set TIF_MEMDIE to the victim. We are not checking whether the task is frozen because that would be racy and __thaw_task does that already. oom_scan_process_thread doesn't need to care about freezer anymore as TIF_MEMDIE and freezer are excluded completely now.

mm: memcontrol: default hierarchy interface for memory
Introduce the basic control files to account, partition, and limit memory using cgroups in default hierarchy mode. This interface versioning allows us to address fundamental design issues in the existing memory cgroup interface, further explained below. The old interface will be maintained indefinitely, but a clearer model and improved workload performance should encourage existing users to switch over to the new one eventually. The control files are thus: - memory.current shows the current consumption of the cgroup and its descendants, in bytes. - memory.low configures the lower end of the cgroup's expected memory consumption range. The kernel considers memory below that boundary to be a reserve - the minimum that the workload needs in order to make forward progress - and generally avoids reclaiming it, unless there is an imminent risk of entering an OOM situation. - memory.high configures the upper end of the cgroup's expected memory consumption range. A cgroup whose consumption grows beyond this threshold is forced into direct reclaim, to work off the excess and to throttle new allocations heavily, but is generally allowed to continue and the OOM killer is not invoked. - memory.max configures the hard maximum amount of memory that the cgroup is allowed to consume before the OOM killer is invoked. - memory.events shows event counters that indicate how often the cgroup was reclaimed while below memory.low, how often it was forced to reclaim excess beyond memory.high, how often it hit memory.max, and how often it entered OOM due to memory.max. This allows users to identify configuration problems when observing a degradation in workload performance. An overcommitted system will have an increased rate of low boundary breaches, whereas increased rates of high limit breaches, maximum hits, or even OOM situations will indicate internally overcommitted cgroups. For existing users of memory cgroups, the following deviations from the current interface are worth pointing out and explaining: - The original lower boundary, the soft limit, is defined as a limit that is per default unset. As a result, the set of cgroups that global reclaim prefers is opt-in, rather than opt-out. The costs for optimizing these mostly negative lookups are so high that the implementation, despite its enormous size, does not even provide the basic desirable behavior. First off, the soft limit has no hierarchical meaning. All configured groups are organized in a global rbtree and treated like equal peers, regardless where they are located in the hierarchy. This makes subtree delegation impossible. Second, the soft limit reclaim pass is so aggressive that it not just introduces high allocation latencies into the system, but also impacts system performance due to overreclaim, to the point where the feature becomes self-defeating. The memory.low boundary on the other hand is a top-down allocated reserve. A cgroup enjoys reclaim protection when it and all its ancestors are below their low boundaries, which makes delegation of subtrees possible. Secondly, new cgroups have no reserve per default and in the common case most cgroups are eligible for the preferred reclaim pass. This allows the new low boundary to be efficiently implemented with just a minor addition to the generic reclaim code, without the need for out-of-band data structures and reclaim passes. Because the generic reclaim code considers all cgroups except for the ones running low in the preferred first reclaim pass, overreclaim of individual groups is eliminated as well, resulting in much better overall workload performance. - The original high boundary, the hard limit, is defined as a strict limit that can not budge, even if the OOM killer has to be called. But this generally goes against the goal of making the most out of the available memory. The memory consumption of workloads varies during runtime, and that requires users to overcommit. But doing that with a strict upper limit requires either a fairly accurate prediction of the working set size or adding slack to the limit. Since working set size estimation is hard and error prone, and getting it wrong results in OOM kills, most users tend to err on the side of a looser limit and end up wasting precious resources. The memory.high boundary on the other hand can be set much more conservatively. When hit, it throttles allocations by forcing them into direct reclaim to work off the excess, but it never invokes the OOM killer. As a result, a high boundary that is chosen too aggressively will not terminate the processes, but instead it will lead to gradual performance degradation. The user can monitor this and make corrections until the minimal memory footprint that still gives acceptable performance is found. In extreme cases, with many concurrent allocations and a complete breakdown of reclaim progress within the group, the high boundary can be exceeded. But even then it's mostly better to satisfy the allocation from the slack available in other groups or the rest of the system than killing the group. Otherwise, memory.max is there to limit this type of spillover and ultimately contain buggy or even malicious applications. - The original control file names are unwieldy and inconsistent in many different ways. For example, the upper boundary hit count is exported in the memory.failcnt file, but an OOM event count has to be manually counted by listening to memory.oom_control events, and lower boundary / soft limit events have to be counted by first setting a threshold for that value and then counting those events. Also, usage and limit files encode their units in the filename. That makes the filenames very long, even though this is not information that a user needs to be reminded of every time they type out those names. To address these naming issues, as well as to signal clearly that the new interface carries a new configuration model, the naming conventions in it necessarily differ from the old interface. - The original limit files indicate the state of an unset limit with a very high number, and a configured limit can be unset by echoing -1 into those files. But that very high number is implementation and architecture dependent and not very descriptive. And while -1 can be understood as an underflow into the highest possible value, -2 or -10M etc. do not work, so it's not inconsistent. memory.low, memory.high, and memory.max will use the string "infinity" to indicate and set the highest possible value.

mm: microoptimize zonelist operations
next_zones_zonelist() returns a zoneref pointer, as well as a zone pointer via extra parameter. Since the latter can be trivially obtained by dereferencing the former, the overhead of the extra parameter is unjustified. This patch thus removes the zone parameter from next_zones_zonelist(). Both callers happen to be in the same header file, so it's simple to add the zoneref dereference inline.

mm: set page->pfmemalloc in prep_new_page()
The possibility of replacing the numerous parameters of alloc_pages*
functions with a single structure has been discussed when Minchan proposed
to expand the x86 kernel stack [1]. This series implements the change,
along with few more cleanups/microoptimizations.
The series is based on next-20150108 and I used gcc 4.8.3 20140627 on
openSUSE 13.2 for compiling. Config includess NUMA and COMPACTION.
The core change is the introduction of a new struct alloc_context, which looks
like this:
struct alloc_context {
struct zonelist *zonelist;
nodemask_t *nodemask;
struct zone *preferred_zone;
int classzone_idx;
int migratetype;
enum zone_type high_zoneidx;
};
All the contents is mostly constant, except that __alloc_pages_slowpath()
changes preferred_zone, classzone_idx and potentially zonelist. But
that's not a problem in case control returns to retry_cpuset: in
__alloc_pages_nodemask(), those will be reset to initial values again
(although it's a bit subtle). On the other hand, gfp_flags and alloc_info
mutate so much that it doesn't make sense to put them into alloc_context.
Still, the result is one parameter instead of up to 7. This is all in
Patch 2.
Patch 3 is a step to expand alloc_context usage out of page_alloc.c
itself. The function try_to_compact_pages() can also much benefit from
the parameter reduction, but it means the struct definition has to be
moved to a shared header.
Patch 1 should IMHO be included even if the rest is deemed not useful
enough. It improves maintainability and also has some code/stack
reduction. Patch 4 is OTOH a tiny optimization.
Overall bloat-o-meter results:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/4 up/down: 0/-460 (-460)
function old new delta
nr_free_zone_pages 129 115 -14
__alloc_pages_direct_compact 329 256 -73
get_page_from_freelist 2670 2576 -94
__alloc_pages_nodemask 2564 2285 -279
try_to_compact_pages 582 579 -3
Overall stack sizes per ./scripts/checkstack.pl:
old new delta
get_page_from_freelist: 184 184 0
__alloc_pages_nodemask 248 200 -48
__alloc_pages_direct_c 40 - -40
try_to_compact_pages 72 72 0
-88

This patch (of 4):
prep_new_page() sets almost everything in the struct page of the page
being allocated, except page->pfmemalloc. This is not obvious and has at
least once led to a bug where page->pfmemalloc was forgotten to be set
correctly, see commit

mm/hugetlb: add migration entry check in __unmap_hugepage_range

mm/hugetlb: fix getting refcount 0 page in hugetlb_fault()
When running the test which causes the race as shown in the previous patch,
we can hit the BUG "get_page() on refcount 0 page" in hugetlb_fault().
This race happens when pte turns into migration entry just after the first
check of is_hugetlb_entry_migration() in hugetlb_fault() passed with false.
To fix this, we need to check pte_present() again after huge_ptep_get().
This patch also reorders taking ptl and doing pte_page(), because
pte_page() should be done in ptl. Due to this reordering, we need use
trylock_page() in page != pagecache_page case to respect locking order.

mm/hugetlb: take page table lock in follow_huge_pmd()
We have a race condition between move_pages() and freeing hugepages, where
move_pages() calls follow_page(FOLL_GET) for hugepages internally and
tries to get its refcount without preventing concurrent freeing. This
race crashes the kernel, so this patch fixes it by moving FOLL_GET code
for hugepages into follow_huge_pmd() with taking the page table lock.
This patch intentionally removes page==NULL check after pte_page.
This is justified because pte_page() never returns NULL for any
architectures or configurations.
This patch changes the behavior of follow_huge_pmd() for tail pages and
then tail pages can be pinned/returned. So the caller must be changed to
properly handle the returned tail pages.
We could have a choice to add the similar locking to
follow_huge_(addr|pud) for consistency, but it's not necessary because
currently these functions don't support FOLL_GET flag, so let's leave it
for future development.
Here is the reproducer:

mm/hugetlb: pmd_huge() returns true for non-present hugepage
Migrating hugepages and hwpoisoned hugepages are considered as non-present
hugepages, and they are referenced via migration entries and hwpoison
entries in their page table slots.
This behavior causes race condition because pmd_huge() doesn't tell
non-huge pages from migrating/hwpoisoned hugepages. follow_page_mask() is
one example where the kernel would call follow_page_pte() for such
hugepage while this function is supposed to handle only normal pages.
To avoid this, this patch makes pmd_huge() return true when pmd_none() is
true *and* pmd_present() is false. We don't have to worry about mixing up
non-present pmd entry with normal pmd (pointing to leaf level pte entry)
because pmd_present() is true in normal pmd.
The same race condition could happen in (x86-specific) gup_pmd_range(),
where this patch simply adds pmd_present() check instead of pmd_huge().
This is because gup_pmd_range() is fast path. If we have non-present
hugepage in this function, we will go into gup_huge_pmd(), then return 0
at flag mask check, and finally fall back to the slow path.

mm/hugetlb: reduce arch dependent code around follow_huge_*
Currently we have many duplicates in definitions around follow_huge_addr(), follow_huge_pmd(), and follow_huge_pud(), so this patch tries to remove the m. The basic idea is to put the default implementation for these functions in mm/hugetlb.c as weak symbols (regardless of CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETL B), and to implement arch-specific code only when the arch needs it. For follow_huge_addr(), only powerpc and ia64 have their own implementation, and in all other architectures this function just returns ERR_PTR(-EINVAL). So this patch sets returning ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) as default. As for follow_huge_(pmd|pud)(), if (pmd|pud)_huge() is implemented to always return 0 in your architecture (like in ia64 or sparc,) it's never called (the callsite is optimized away) no matter how implemented it is. So in such architectures, we don't need arch-specific implementation. In some architecture (like mips, s390 and tile,) their current arch-specific follow_huge_(pmd|pud)() are effectively identical with the common code, so this patch lets these architecture use the common code. One exception is metag, where pmd_huge() could return non-zero but it expects follow_huge_pmd() to always return NULL. This means that we need arch-specific implementation which returns NULL. This behavior looks strange to me (because non-zero pmd_huge() implies that the architecture supports PMD-based hugepage, so follow_huge_pmd() can/should return some relevant value,) but that's beyond this cleanup patch, so let's keep it. Justification of non-trivial changes: - in s390, follow_huge_pmd() checks !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE at first, and this patch removes the check. This is OK because we can assume MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE is true when follow_huge_pmd() can be called (note that pmd_huge() has the same check and always returns 0 for !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE.) - in s390 and mips, we use HPAGE_MASK instead of PMD_MASK as done in common code. This patch forces these archs use PMD_MASK, but it's OK because they are identical in both archs. In s390, both of HPAGE_SHIFT and PMD_SHIFT are 20. In mips, HPAGE_SHIFT is defined as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT - 3) and PMD_SHIFT is define as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT + PTE_ORDER - 3), but PTE_ORDER is always 0, so these are identical.
