Note that the vma\n will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path;\n and then only if the \"cull unevictable pages in fault\n path\" patch is included.\n\n4) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page\u0027s rmap and\n ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked.\n Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible.

In GRU case there\u0027s no\nactual secondary pte and there\u0027s only a secondary tlb because the GRU\nsecondary MMU has no knowledge about sptes and every secondary tlb miss\nevent in the MMU always generates a page fault that has to be resolved by\nthe CPU (this is not the case of KVM where the a secondary tlb miss will\nwalk sptes in hardware and it will refill the secondary tlb transparently\nto software if the corresponding spte is present). The same way\nzap_page_range has to invalidate the pte before freeing the page, the spte\n(and secondary tlb) must also be invalidated before any page is freed and\nreused.\n\nCurrently we take a page_count pin on every page mapped by sptes, but that\nmeans the pages can\u0027t be swapped whenever they\u0027re mapped by any spte\nbecause they\u0027re part of the guest working set. Furthermore a spte unmap\nevent can immediately lead to a page to be freed when the pin is released\n(so requiring the same complex and relatively slow tlb_gather smp safe\nlogic we have in zap_page_range and that can be avoided completely if the\nspte unmap event doesn\u0027t require an unpin of the page previously mapped in\nthe secondary MMU).\n\nThe mmu notifiers allow kvm/GRU/XPMEM to attach to the tsk-\u003emm and know\nwhen the VM is swapping or freeing or doing anything on the primary MMU so\nthat the secondary MMU code can drop sptes before the pages are freed,\navoiding all page pinning and allowing 100% reliable swapping of guest\nphysical address space. Furthermore it avoids the code that teardown the\nmappings of the secondary MMU, to implement a logic like tlb_gather in\nzap_page_range that would require many IPI to flush other cpu tlbs, for\neach fixed number of spte unmapped.\n\nTo make an example: if what happens on the primary MMU is a protection\ndowngrade (from writeable to wrprotect) the secondary MMU mappings will be\ninvalidated, and the next secondary-mmu-page-fault will call\nget_user_pages and trigger a do_wp_page through get_user_pages if it\ncalled get_user_pages with write\u003d1, and it\u0027ll re-establishing an updated\nspte or secondary-tlb-mapping on the copied page. Or it will setup a\nreadonly spte or readonly tlb mapping if it\u0027s a guest-read, if it calls\nget_user_pages with write\u003d0. This is just an example.\n\nThis allows to map any page pointed by any pte (and in turn visible in the\nprimary CPU MMU), into a secondary MMU (be it a pure tlb like GRU, or an\nfull MMU with both sptes and secondary-tlb like the shadow-pagetable layer\nwith kvm), or a remote DMA in software like XPMEM (hence needing of\nschedule in XPMEM code to send the invalidate to the remote node, while no\nneed to schedule in kvm/gru as it\u0027s an immediate event like invalidating\nprimary-mmu pte).\n\nAt least for KVM without this patch it\u0027s impossible to swap guests\nreliably. And having this feature and removing the page pin allows\nseveral other optimizations that simplify life considerably.\n\nDependencies:\n\n1) mm_take_all_locks() to register the mmu notifier when the whole VM\n isn\u0027t doing anything with \"mm\". This allows mmu notifier users to keep\n track if the VM is in the middle of the invalidate_range_begin/end\n critical section with an atomic counter incraese in range_begin and\n decreased in range_end. No secondary MMU page fault is allowed to map\n any spte or secondary tlb reference, while the VM is in the middle of\n range_begin/end as any page returned by get_user_pages in that critical\n section could later immediately be freed without any further\n -\u003einvalidate_page notification (invalidate_range_begin/end works on\n ranges and -\u003einvalidate_page isn\u0027t called immediately before freeing\n the page). To stop all page freeing and pagetable overwrites the\n mmap_sem must be taken in write mode and all other anon_vma/i_mmap\n locks must be taken too.\n\n2) It\u0027d be a waste to add branches in the VM if nobody could possibly\n run KVM/GRU/XPMEM on the kernel, so mmu notifiers will only enabled if\n CONFIG_KVM\u003dm/y. In the current kernel kvm won\u0027t yet take advantage of\n mmu notifiers, but this already allows to compile a KVM external module\n against a kernel with mmu notifiers enabled and from the next pull from\n kvm.git we\u0027ll start using them. And GRU/XPMEM will also be able to\n continue the development by enabling KVM\u003dm in their config, until they\n submit all GRU/XPMEM GPLv2 code to the mainline kernel. Then they can\n also enable MMU_NOTIFIERS in the same way KVM does it (even if KVM\u003dn).\n This guarantees nobody selects MMU_NOTIFIER\u003dy if KVM and GRU and XPMEM\n are all \u003dn.\n\nThe mmu_notifier_register call can fail because mm_take_all_locks may be\ninterrupted by a signal and return -EINTR. Because mmu_notifier_reigster\nis used when a driver startup, a failure can be gracefully handled. Here\nan example of the change applied to kvm to register the mmu notifiers.\nUsually when a driver startups other allocations are required anyway and\n-ENOMEM failure paths exists already.\n\n struct kvm *kvm_arch_create_vm(void)\n {\n struct kvm *kvm \u003d kzalloc(sizeof(struct kvm), GFP_KERNEL);\n+ int err;\n\n if (!kvm)\n return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);\n\n INIT_LIST_HEAD(\u0026kvm-\u003earch.active_mmu_pages);\n\n+ kvm-\u003earch.mmu_notifier.ops \u003d \u0026kvm_mmu_notifier_ops;\n+ err \u003d mmu_notifier_register(\u0026kvm-\u003earch.mmu_notifier, current-\u003emm);\n+ if (err) {\n+ kfree(kvm);\n+ return ERR_PTR(err);\n+ }\n+\n return kvm;\n }\n\nmmu_notifier_unregister returns void and it\u0027s reliable.\n\nThe patch also adds a few needed but missing includes that would prevent\nkernel to compile after these changes on non-x86 archs (x86 didn\u0027t need\nthem by luck).\n\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix mm/filemap_xip.c build]\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix mm/mmu_notifier.c build]\nSigned-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli \u003candrea@qumranet.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Nick Piggin \u003cnpiggin@suse.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Christoph Lameter \u003ccl@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nCc: Jack Steiner \u003csteiner@sgi.com\u003e\nCc: Robin Holt \u003cholt@sgi.com\u003e\nCc: Nick Piggin \u003cnpiggin@suse.de\u003e\nCc: Peter Zijlstra \u003ca.p.zijlstra@chello.nl\u003e\nCc: Kanoj Sarcar \u003ckanojsarcar@yahoo.com\u003e\nCc: Roland Dreier \u003crdreier@cisco.com\u003e\nCc: Steve Wise \u003cswise@opengridcomputing.com\u003e\nCc: Avi Kivity \u003cavi@qumranet.com\u003e\nCc: Hugh Dickins \u003chugh@veritas.com\u003e\nCc: Rusty Russell \u003crusty@rustcorp.com.au\u003e\nCc: Anthony Liguori \u003caliguori@us.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Chris Wright \u003cchrisw@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Marcelo Tosatti \u003cmarcelo@kvack.org\u003e\nCc: Eric Dumazet \u003cdada1@cosmosbay.com\u003e\nCc: \"Paul E.

For\nanon-regions, we just fail to migrate any pages beyond the 1st vma in the\nrange.\n\nThis occurs because do_mbind() collects a list of pages to migrate by\ncalling check_range(). check_range() walks the task\u0027s mm, spanning vmas as\nnecessary, to collect the migratable pages into a list. Then, do_mbind()\ncalls migrate_pages() passing the list of pages, a function to allocate new\npages based on vma policy [new_vma_page()], and a pointer to the first vma\nof the range.\n\nFor each page in the list, new_vma_page() calls page_address_in_vma()\npassing the page and the vma [first in range] to obtain the address to get\nfor alloc_page_vma(). The page address is needed to get interleaving\npolicy correct. If the pages in the list come from multiple vmas,\neventually, new_page_address() will pass that page to page_address_in_vma()\nwith the incorrect vma. For !PageAnon pages, this will result in a bug\ncheck in rmap.c:vma_address(). For anon pages, vma_address() will just\nreturn EFAULT and fail the migration.\n\nThis patch modifies new_vma_page() to check the return value from\npage_address_in_vma(). If the return value is EFAULT, new_vma_page()\nsearchs forward via vm_next for the vma that maps the page--i.e., that does\nnot return EFAULT. This assumes that the pages in the list handed to\nmigrate_pages() is in address order. This is currently case. The patch\ndocuments this assumption in a new comment block for new_vma_page().\n\nIf new_vma_page() cannot locate the vma mapping the page in a forward\nsearch in the mm, it will pass a NULL vma to alloc_page_vma(). This will\nresult in the allocation using the task policy, if any, else system default\npolicy. This situation is unlikely, but the patch documents this behavior\nwith a comment.\n\nNote, this patch results in restarting from the first vma in a multi-vma\nrange each time new_vma_page() is called. If this is not acceptable, we\ncan make the vma argument a pointer, both in new_vma_page() and it\u0027s caller\nunmap_and_move() so that the value held by the loop in migrate_pages()\nalways passes down the last vma in which a page was found. This will\nrequire changes to all new_page_t functions passed to migrate_pages(). Is\nthis necessary?\n\nFor this patch to work, we can\u0027t bug check in vma_address() for pages\noutside the argument vma. This patch removes the BUG_ON(). All other\ncallers [besides new_vma_page()] already check the return status.\n\nTested on x86_64, 4 node NUMA platform.\n\nSigned-off-by: Lee Schermerhorn \u003clee.schermerhorn@hp.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Christoph Lameter \u003cclameter@sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "7a4050791b23c55a451974027d41d72a9b78039b", "tree": "f3956a04f24a2406276804124853535a59c0cbc1", "parents": [ "d773ed6b856a96bd6d18b6e04455e3ced0876da4" ], "author": { "name": "Nick Piggin", "email": "npiggin@suse.de", "time": "Tue Oct 16 23:26:02 2007 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Wed Oct 17 08:42:46 2007 -0700" }, "message": "mm: document tree_lock-\u003ezone.lock lockorder\n\nzone-\u003elock is quite an \"inner\" lock and mostly constrained to page alloc as\nwell, so like slab locks, it probably isn\u0027t something that is critically\nimportant to document here.

However it overrides\nthe last condition.\n\nCleaning the pages on write-back is done with page_mkclean() a new rmap call.\nIt can be called on any page, but is currently only implemented for mapped\npages, if the page is found the be of a VMA that accounts dirty pages it will\nalso wrprotect the PTE.\n\nFinally, in fs/buffers.c:try_to_free_buffers(); remove clear_page_dirty() from\nunder -\u003eprivate_lock. This seems to be safe, since -\u003eprivate_lock is used to\nserialize access to the buffers, not the page itself.

This limits\nthe number of places one has to fix. We also check in copy_pte_range and in\nmprotect_pte_range() for migration ptes.\n\nWe check for migration ptes in do_swap_cache and call a function that will\nthen wait on the page lock.

(If the process were later to fault on this\n orphaned entry, it would hit the same BUG from migration_entry_wait.)\n\n This could be fixed by locking anon_vma in copy_one_pte, but we\u0027d rather\n not. There\u0027s no such problem with file pages, because vma_prio_tree_add\n adds child vma after parent vma, and the page table locking at each end is\n enough to serialize. Follow that example with anon_vma: add new vmas to the\n tail instead of the head.\n\n (There\u0027s no corresponding problem when inserting migration entries,\n because a missed pte will leave the page count and mapcount high, which is\n allowed for. And there\u0027s no corresponding problem when migrating via swap,\n because a leftover swap entry will be correctly faulted. But the swapless\n method has no refcounting of its entries.)\n\nFrom: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\n\n pte_unmap_unlock() takes the pte pointer as an argument.\n\nFrom: Hugh Dickins \u003chugh@veritas.com\u003e\n\n Several times while testing swapless page migration, gcc has tried to exec\n a pointer instead of a string: smells like COW mappings are not being\n properly write-protected on fork.\n\n The protection in copy_one_pte looks very convincing, until at last you\n realize that the second arg to make_migration_entry is a boolean \"write\",\n and SWP_MIGRATION_READ is 30.\n\n Anyway, it\u0027s better done like in change_pte_range, using\n is_write_migration_entry and make_migration_entry_read.\n\nFrom: Hugh Dickins

Now Frank van Maarseveen reports that to\nbe found inadequate. How about this?

And update anon_rss\nupfront, typically in memory.c, not tucked away in page_add_anon_rmap.\n\nSigned-off-by: Hugh Dickins \u003chugh@veritas.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "fcdae29aa7a5c79f245110f6680afdc1858d3626", "tree": "09634921c68dd82a661c1ba389133e7f805e2d0f", "parents": [ "eb92f4ef320b738e41ad43476a5d05c8a20d5cc7" ], "author": { "name": "Rik Van Riel", "email": "riel@redhat.com", "time": "Sat Oct 29 18:15:46 2005 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Sat Oct 29 21:40:35 2005 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] swaptoken tuning\n\nIt turns out that the original swap token implementation, by Song Jiang, only\nenforced the swap token while the task holding the token is handling a page\nfault.
