mm: remove the page size change check in tlb_remove_page

2016-12-13T02:55:07+00:00

Now that we check for page size change early in the loop, we can partially revert e9d55e157034a ("mm: change the interface for __tlb_remove_page"). This simplies the code much, by removing the need to track the last address with which we adjusted the range. We also go back to the older way of filling the mmu_gather array, ie, we add an entry and then check whether the gather batch is full.

mm: add tlb_remove_check_page_size_change to track page size change

2016-12-13T02:55:07+00:00

With commit e77b0852b551 ("mm/mmu_gather: track page size with mmu gather and force flush if page size change") we added the ability to force a tlb flush when the page size change in a mmu_gather loop. We did that by checking for a page size change every time we added a page to mmu_gather for lazy flush/remove. We can improve that by moving the page size change check early and not doing it every time we add a page. This also helps us to do tlb flush when invalidating a range covering dax mapping. Wrt dax mapping we don't have a backing struct page and hence we don't call tlb_remove_page, which earlier forced the tlb flush on page size change. Moving the page size change check earlier means we will do the same even for dax mapping. We also avoid doing this check on architecture other than powerpc. In a later patch we will remove page size check from tlb_remove_page().

mm: update mmu_gather range correctly

2016-12-13T02:55:07+00:00

We use __tlb_adjust_range to update range convered by mmu_gather struct. We later use the 'start' and 'end' to do a mmu_notifier_invalidate_range in tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly(). Update the 'end' correctly in __tlb_adjust_range so that we call mmu_notifier_invalidate_range with the correct range values. Wrt tlbflush, this should not have any impact, because a flush with correct start address will flush tlb mapping for the range. Also add comment w.r.t updating the range when we free pagetable pages. For now we don't support a range based page table cache flush. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161026084839.27299-3-aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V Cc: "Kirill A.

mm/mmu_gather: track page size with mmu gather and force flush if page size change

2016-07-26T23:19:19+00:00

This allows an arch which needs to do special handing with respect to different page size when flushing tlb to implement the same in mmu gather.

mm: change the interface for __tlb_remove_page()

2016-07-26T23:19:19+00:00

This updates the generic and arch specific implementation to return true if we need to do a tlb flush. That means if a __tlb_remove_page indicate a flush is needed, the page we try to remove need to be tracked and added again after the flush. We need to track it because we have already update the pte to none and we can't just loop back. This change is done to enable us to do a tlb_flush when we try to flush a range that consists of different page sizes. For architectures like ppc64, we can do a range based tlb flush and we need to track page size for that. When we try to remove a huge page, we will force a tlb flush and starts a new mmu gather.

mm: mmu_gather: use tlb->end != 0 only for TLB invalidation

2015-01-13T02:20:40+00:00

When batching up address ranges for TLB invalidation, we check tlb->end != 0 to indicate that some pages have actually been unmapped. As of commit f045bbb9fa1b ("mmu_gather: fix over-eager tlb_flush_mmu_free() calling"), we use the same check for freeing these pages in order to avoid a performance regression where we call free_pages_and_swap_cache even when no pages are actually queued up. Unfortunately, the range could have been reset (tlb->end = 0) by tlb_end_vma, which has been shown to cause memory leaks on arm64. Furthermore, investigation into these leaks revealed that the fullmm case on task exit no longer invalidates the TLB, by virtue of tlb->end == 0 (in 3.18, need_flush would have been set). This patch resolves the problem by reverting commit f045bbb9fa1b, using instead tlb->local.nr as the predicate for page freeing in tlb_flush_mmu_free and ensuring that tlb->end is initialised to a non-zero value in the fullmm case.

mmu_gather: move minimal range calculations into generic code

2014-11-17T10:12:42+00:00

On architectures with hardware broadcasting of TLB invalidation messages , it makes sense to reduce the range of the mmu_gather structure when unmapping page ranges based on the dirty address information passed to tlb_remove_tlb_entry. arm64 already does this by directly manipulating the start/end fields of the gather structure, but this confuses the generic code which does not expect these fields to change and can end up calculating invalid, negative ranges when forcing a flush in zap_pte_range. This patch moves the minimal range calculation out of the arm64 code and into the generic implementation, simplifying zap_pte_range in the process (which no longer needs to care about start/end, since they will point to the appropriate ranges already). With the range being tracked by core code, the need_flush flag is dropped in favour of checking that the end of the range has actually been set.

Fix TLB gather virtual address range invalidation corner cases

2013-08-16T15:52:46+00:00

Ben Tebulin reported: "Since v3.7.2 on two independent machines a very specific Git repository fails in 9/10 cases on git-fsck due to an SHA1/memory failures. This only occurs on a very specific repository and can be reproduced stably on two independent laptops. Git mailing list ran out of ideas and for me this looks like some very exotic kernel issue" and bisected the failure to the backport of commit 53a59fc67f97 ("mm: limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPT"). That commit itself is not actually buggy, but what it does is to make it much more likely to hit the partial TLB invalidation case, since it introduces a new case in tlb_next_batch() that previously only ever happened when running out of memory. The real bug is that the TLB gather virtual memory range setup is subtly buggered. It was introduced in commit 597e1c3580b7 ("mm/mmu_gather: enable tlb flush range in generic mmu_gather"), and the range handling was already fixed at least once in commit e6c495a96ce0 ("mm: fix the TLB range flushed when __tlb_remove_page() runs out of slots"), but that fix was not complete. The problem with the TLB gather virtual address range is that it isn't set up by the initial tlb_gather_mmu() initialization (which didn't get the TLB range information), but it is set up ad-hoc later by the functions that actually flush the TLB. And so any such case that forgot to update the TLB range entries would potentially miss TLB invalidates. Rather than try to figure out exactly which particular ad-hoc range setup was missing (I personally suspect it's the hugetlb case in zap_huge_pmd(), which didn't have the same logic as zap_pte_range() did), this patch just gets rid of the problem at the source: make the TLB range information available to tlb_gather_mmu(), and initialize it when initializing all the other tlb gather fields. This makes the patch larger, but conceptually much simpler. And the end result is much more understandable; even if you want to play games with partial ranges when invalidating the TLB contents in chunks, now the range information is always there, and anybody who doesn't want to bother with it won't introduce subtle bugs. Ben verified that this fixes his problem.
