At that point, the next write fault from the parent\ncould fail due to COW if the child still has a reference.\n\nWe only reserve pages for the parent but a copy must be made to avoid\nleaking data from the parent to the child after fork(). Reserves could be\ntaken for both parent and child at fork time to guarantee faults but if\nthe mapping is large it is highly likely we will not have sufficient pages\nfor the reservation, and it is common to fork only to exec() immediatly\nafter. A failure here would be very undesirable.\n\nNote that the current behaviour of mainline with MAP_PRIVATE pages is\npretty bad. The following situation is allowed to occur today.\n\n1. Process calls mmap(MAP_PRIVATE)\n2. Process calls mlock() to fault all pages and makes sure it succeeds\n3. Process forks()\n4. Process writes to MAP_PRIVATE mapping while child still exists\n5. If the COW fails at this point, the process gets SIGKILLed even though it\n had taken care to ensure the pages existed\n\nThis patch improves the situation by guaranteeing the reliability of the\nprocess that successfully calls mmap(). When the parent performs COW, it\nwill try to satisfy the allocation without using reserves. If that fails\nthe parent will steal the page leaving any children without a page.\nFaults from the child after that point will result in failure. If the\nchild COW happens first, an attempt will be made to allocate the page\nwithout reserves and the child will get SIGKILLed on failure.\n\nTo summarise the new behaviour:\n\n1. If the original mapper performs COW on a private mapping with multiple\n references, it will attempt to allocate a hugepage from the pool or\n the buddy allocator without using the existing reserves. On fail, VMAs\n mapping the same area are traversed and the page being COW\u0027d is unmapped\n where found. It will then steal the original page as the last mapper in\n the normal way.\n\n2. The VMAs the pages were unmapped from are flagged to note that pages\n with data no longer exist. Future no-page faults on those VMAs will\n terminate the process as otherwise it would appear that data was corrupted.\n A warning is printed to the console that this situation occured.\n\n2. If the child performs COW first, it will attempt to satisfy the COW\n from the pool if there are enough pages or via the buddy allocator if\n overcommit is allowed and the buddy allocator can satisfy the request. If\n it fails, the child will be killed.\n\nIf the pool is large enough, existing applications will not notice that\nthe reserves were a factor.

The\nreserve count is accounted both globally and on a per-VMA basis for\nprivate mappings. This guarantees that a process that successfully calls\nmmap() will successfully fault all pages in the future unless fork() is\ncalled.\n\nThe characteristics of private mappings of hugetlbfs files behaviour after\nthis patch are;\n\n1. The process calling mmap() is guaranteed to succeed all future faults until\n it forks().\n2. On fork(), the parent may die due to SIGKILL on writes to the private\n mapping if enough pages are not available for the COW. For reasonably\n reliable behaviour in the face of a small huge page pool, children of\n hugepage-aware processes should not reference the mappings; such as\n might occur when fork()ing to exec().\n3. On fork(), the child VMAs inherit no reserves. Reads on pages already\n faulted by the parent will succeed. Successful writes will depend on enough\n huge pages being free in the pool.\n4. Quotas of the hugetlbfs mount are checked at reserve time for the mapper\n and at fault time otherwise.\n\nBefore this patch, all reads or writes in the child potentially needs page\nallocations that can later lead to the death of the parent. This applies\nto reads and writes of uninstantiated pages as well as COW.

However, with\na boolean global value and per-mount quota enforcement constraining the\ndynamic pool, adding corresponding control of the dynamic pool on a\nper-node basis seems inconsistent to me.\n\n2) Administration of the hugetlb dynamic pool with multiple hugetlbfs\nmount points is, arguably, more arduous than it needs to be. Each quota\nwould need to be set separately, and the sum would need to be monitored.\n\nTo ease the administration, and to help make the way for per-node\ncontrol of the static \u0026 dynamic hugepage pool, I added a separate\nsysctl, nr_overcommit_hugepages. This value serves as a high watermark\nfor the overall hugepage pool, while nr_hugepages serves as a low\nwatermark. The boolean sysctl can then be removed, as the condition\n\n\tnr_overcommit_hugepages \u003e 0\n\nindicates the same administrative setting as\n\n\thugetlb_dynamic_pool \u003d\u003d 1\n\nQuotas still serve as local enforcement of the size of the pool on a\nper-mount basis.\n\nA few caveats:\n\n1) There is a race whereby the global surplus huge page counter is\nincremented before a hugepage has allocated. Another process could then\ntry grow the pool, and fail to convert a surplus huge page to a normal\nhuge page and instead allocate a fresh huge page. I believe this is\nbenign, as no memory is leaked (the actual pages are still tracked\ncorrectly) and the counters won\u0027t go out of sync.\n\n2) Shrinking the static pool while a surplus is in effect will allow the\nnumber of surplus huge pages to exceed the overcommit value. As long as\nthis condition holds, however, no more surplus huge pages will be\nallowed on the system until one of the two sysctls are increased\nsufficiently, or the surplus huge pages go out of use and are freed.\n\nSuccessfully tested on x86_64 with the current libhugetlbfs snapshot,\nmodified to use the new sysctl.\n\nSigned-off-by: Nishanth Aravamudan \u003cnacc@us.ibm.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Adam Litke \u003cagl@us.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: William Lee Irwin III \u003cwli@holomorphy.com\u003e\nCc: Dave Hansen \u003chaveblue@us.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: David Gibson \u003cdavid@gibson.dropbear.id.au\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "45c682a68a87251d9a01383ce076ab21ee09812e", "tree": "d9fa6a02263c50ef97e1c525b91b29b6aedf9e40", "parents": [ "8cde045c7ee97573be6ce495b8f7c918182a2c7a" ], "author": { "name": "Ken Chen", "email": "kenchen@google.com", "time": "Wed Nov 14 16:59:44 2007 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Wed Nov 14 18:45:40 2007 -0800" }, "message": "hugetlb: fix i_blocks accounting\n\nFor administrative purpose, we want to query actual block usage for\nhugetlbfs file via fstat.

This\nset of patch target shared page table for hugetlb memory only.\n\nThe shared page table is particular useful in the situation of large number of\nindependent processes sharing large shared memory segments. In the normal\npage case, the amount of memory saved from process\u0027 page table is quite\nsignificant. For hugetlb, the saving on page table memory is not the primary\nobjective (as hugetlb itself already cuts down page table overhead\nsignificantly), instead, the purpose of using shared page table on hugetlb is\nto allow faster TLB refill and smaller cache pollution upon TLB miss.\n\nWith PT sharing, pte entries are shared among hundreds of processes, the cache\nconsumption used by all the page table is smaller and in return, application\ngets much higher cache hit ratio. One other effect is that cache hit ratio\nwith hardware page walker hitting on pte in cache will be higher and this\nhelps to reduce tlb miss latency. These two effects contribute to higher\napplication performance.\n\nSigned-off-by: Ken Chen \u003ckenneth.w.chen@intel.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Hugh Dickins \u003chugh@veritas.com\u003e\nCc: Dave McCracken \u003cdmccr@us.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: William Lee Irwin III \u003cwli@holomorphy.com\u003e\nCc: \"Luck, Tony\" \u003ctony.luck@intel.com\u003e\nCc: Paul Mackerras \u003cpaulus@samba.org\u003e\nCc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt \u003cbenh@kernel.crashing.org\u003e\nCc: David Gibson \u003cdavid@gibson.dropbear.id.au\u003e\nCc: Adam Litke \u003cagl@us.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Paul Mundt \u003clethal@linux-sh.org\u003e\nCc: \"David S.

At the time of mmap of\nhugepages, we populate the new PTEs. It is possible that HW has already\ncached some of the unused PTEs internally. These stale entries never\nget a chance to be purged in existing control flow.\n\nThis patch extends the check in page fault code for hugepages. Check if\na faulted address falls with in size for the hugetlb file backing it.\nWe return VM_FAULT_MINOR for these cases (assuming that the arch\nspecific page-faulting code purges the stale entry for the archs that\nneed it).\n\nSigned-off-by: Rohit Seth \u003crohit.seth@intel.com\u003e\n\n[ This is apparently arguably an ia64 port bug.
