mm/hugetlb: fix excessive IPI broadcasts when unsharing PMD tables using mmu_gather

2026-03-25T10:03:14+00:00

commit 8ce720d5bd91e9dc16db3604aa4b1bf76770a9a1 upstream. As reported, ever since commit 1013af4f585f ("mm/hugetlb: fix huge_pmd_unshare() vs GUP-fast race") we can end up in some situations where we perform so many IPI broadcasts when unsharing hugetlb PMD page tables that it severely regresses some workloads. In particular, when we fork()+exit(), or when we munmap() a large area backed by many shared PMD tables, we perform one IPI broadcast per unshared PMD table. There are two optimizations to be had: (1) When we process (unshare) multiple such PMD tables, such as during exit(), it is sufficient to send a single IPI broadcast (as long as we respect locking rules) instead of one per PMD table. Locking prevents that any of these PMD tables could get reused before we drop the lock. (2) When we are not the last sharer (> 2 users including us), there is no need to send the IPI broadcast. The shared PMD tables cannot become exclusive (fully unshared) before an IPI will be broadcasted by the last sharer. Concurrent GUP-fast could walk into a PMD table just before we unshared it. It could then succeed in grabbing a page from the shared page table even after munmap() etc succeeded (and supressed an IPI). But there is not difference compared to GUP-fast just sleeping for a while after grabbing the page and re-enabling IRQs. Most importantly, GUP-fast will never walk into page tables that are no-longer shared, because the last sharer will issue an IPI broadcast. (if ever required, checking whether the PUD changed in GUP-fast after grabbing the page like we do in the PTE case could handle this) So let's rework PMD sharing TLB flushing + IPI sync to use the mmu_gather infrastructure so we can implement these optimizations and demystify the code at least a bit. Extend the mmu_gather infrastructure to be able to deal with our special hugetlb PMD table sharing implementation. To make initialization of the mmu_gather easier when working on a single VMA (in particular, when dealing with hugetlb), provide tlb_gather_mmu_vma(). We'll consolidate the handling for (full) unsharing of PMD tables in tlb_unshare_pmd_ptdesc() and tlb_flush_unshared_tables(), and track in "struct mmu_gather" whether we had (full) unsharing of PMD tables. Because locking is very special (concurrent unsharing+reuse must be prevented), we disallow deferring flushing to tlb_finish_mmu() and instead require an explicit earlier call to tlb_flush_unshared_tables(). From hugetlb code, we call huge_pmd_unshare_flush() where we make sure that the expected lock protecting us from concurrent unsharing+reuse is still held. Check with a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() in tlb_finish_mmu() that tlb_flush_unshared_tables() was properly called earlier. Document it all properly. Notes about tlb_remove_table_sync_one() interaction with unsharing: There are two fairly tricky things: (1) tlb_remove_table_sync_one() is a NOP on architectures without CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE. Here, the assumption is that the previous TLB flush would send an IPI to all relevant CPUs. Careful: some architectures like x86 only send IPIs to all relevant CPUs when tlb->freed_tables is set. The relevant architectures should be selecting MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE, but x86 might not do that in stable kernels and it might have been problematic before this patch. Also, the arch flushing behavior (independent of IPIs) is different when tlb->freed_tables is set. Do we have to enlighten them to also take care of tlb->unshared_tables? So far we didn't care, so hopefully we are fine. Of course, we could be setting tlb->freed_tables as well, but that might then unnecessarily flush too much, because the semantics of tlb->freed_tables are a bit fuzzy. This patch changes nothing in this regard. (2) tlb_remove_table_sync_one() is not a NOP on architectures with CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE that actually don't need a sync. Take x86 as an example: in the common case (!pv, !X86_FEATURE_INVLPGB) we still issue IPIs during TLB flushes and don't actually need the second tlb_remove_table_sync_one(). This optimized can be implemented on top of this, by checking e.g., in tlb_remove_table_sync_one() whether we really need IPIs. But as described in (1), it really must honor tlb->freed_tables then to send IPIs to all relevant CPUs. Notes on TLB flushing changes: (1) Flushing for non-shared PMD tables We're converting from flush_hugetlb_tlb_range() to tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry(). Given that we properly initialize the MMU gather in tlb_gather_mmu_vma() to be hugetlb aware, similar to __unmap_hugepage_range(), that should be fine. (2) Flushing for shared PMD tables We're converting from various things (flush_hugetlb_tlb_range(), tlb_flush_pmd_range(), flush_tlb_range()) to tlb_flush_pmd_range(). tlb_flush_pmd_range() achieves the same that tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry() would achieve in these scenarios. Note that tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry() also calls __tlb_remove_tlb_entry(), however that is only implemented on powerpc, which does not support PMD table sharing. Similar to (1), tlb_gather_mmu_vma() should make sure that TLB flushing keeps on working as expected. Further, note that the ptdesc_pmd_pts_dec() in huge_pmd_share() is not a concern, as we are holding the i_mmap_lock the whole time, preventing concurrent unsharing. That ptdesc_pmd_pts_dec() usage will be removed separately as a cleanup later. There are plenty more cleanups to be had, but they have to wait until this is fixed.

mm/hugetlb: fix hugetlb_pmd_shared()

2026-03-25T10:03:14+00:00

commit ca1a47cd3f5f4c46ca188b1c9a27af87d1ab2216 upstream. Patch series "mm/hugetlb: fixes for PMD table sharing (incl. using mmu_gather)", v3. One functional fix, one performance regression fix, and two related comment fixes. I cleaned up my prototype I recently shared [1] for the performance fix, deferring most of the cleanups I had in the prototype to a later point. While doing that I identified the other things. The goal of this patch set is to be backported to stable trees "fairly" easily. At least patch #1 and #4. Patch #1 fixes hugetlb_pmd_shared() not detecting any sharing Patch #2 + #3 are simple comment fixes that patch #4 interacts with. Patch #4 is a fix for the reported performance regression due to excessive IPI broadcasts during fork()+exit(). The last patch is all about TLB flushes, IPIs and mmu_gather. Read: complicated There are plenty of cleanups in the future to be had + one reasonable optimization on x86. But that's all out of scope for this series. Runtime tested, with a focus on fixing the performance regression using the original reproducer [2] on x86. This patch (of 4): We switched from (wrongly) using the page count to an independent shared count. Now, shared page tables have a refcount of 1 (excluding speculative references) and instead use ptdesc->pt_share_count to identify sharing. We didn't convert hugetlb_pmd_shared(), so right now, we would never detect a shared PMD table as such, because sharing/unsharing no longer touches the refcount of a PMD table. Page migration, like mbind() or migrate_pages() would allow for migrating folios mapped into such shared PMD tables, even though the folios are not exclusive. In smaps we would account them as "private" although they are "shared", and we would be wrongly setting the PM_MMAP_EXCLUSIVE in the pagemap interface. Fix it by properly using ptdesc_pmd_is_shared() in hugetlb_pmd_shared().

mm/mprotect: use long for page accountings and retval

2026-01-11T14:19:25+00:00

commit a79390f5d6a78647fd70856bd42b22d994de0ba2 upstream. Switch to use type "long" for page accountings and retval across the whole procedure of change_protection(). The change should have shrinked the possible maximum page number to be half comparing to previous (ULONG_MAX / 2), but it shouldn't overflow on any system either because the maximum possible pages touched by change protection should be ULONG_MAX / PAGE_SIZE. Two reasons to switch from "unsigned long" to "long": 1. It suites better on count_vm_numa_events(), whose 2nd parameter takes a long type. 2. It paves way for returning negative (error) values in the future. Currently the only caller that consumes this retval is change_prot_numa(), where the unsigned long was converted to an int. Since at it, touching up the numa code to also take a long, so it'll avoid any possible overflow too during the int-size convertion.

mm/hugetlb: unshare page tables during VMA split, not before

2025-06-27T10:07:38+00:00

commit 081056dc00a27bccb55ccc3c6f230a3d5fd3f7e0 upstream. Currently, __split_vma() triggers hugetlb page table unsharing through vm_ops->may_split(). This happens before the VMA lock and rmap locks are taken - which is too early, it allows racing VMA-locked page faults in our process and racing rmap walks from other processes to cause page tables to be shared again before we actually perform the split. Fix it by explicitly calling into the hugetlb unshare logic from __split_vma() in the same place where THP splitting also happens. At that point, both the VMA and the rmap(s) are write-locked. An annoying detail is that we can now call into the helper hugetlb_unshare_pmds() from two different locking contexts: 1. from hugetlb_split(), holding: - mmap lock (exclusively) - VMA lock - file rmap lock (exclusively) 2. hugetlb_unshare_all_pmds(), which I think is designed to be able to call us with only the mmap lock held (in shared mode), but currently only runs while holding mmap lock (exclusively) and VMA lock Backporting note: This commit fixes a racy protection that was introduced in commit b30c14cd6102 ("hugetlb: unshare some PMDs when splitting VMAs"); that commit claimed to fix an issue introduced in 5.13, but it should actually also go all the way back.

[ Upstream commit d03c376d9066532551dc56837c7c5490e4fcbbfe ] Patch series "begin converting hugetlb code to folios", v4. This patch series starts the conversion of the hugetlb code to operate on struct folios rather than struct pages. This removes the ambiguitiy of whether functions are operating on head pages, tail pages of compound pages, or base pages. This series passes the linux test project hugetlb test cases. Patch 1 adds hugeltb specific page macros that can operate on folios. Patch 2 adds the private field of the first tail page to struct page. For 32-bit, _private_1 alinging with page[1].private was confirmed by using pahole. Patch 3 introduces hugetlb subpool helper functions which operate on struct folios. These patches were tested using the hugepage-mmap.c selftest along with the migratepages command. Patch 4 converts hugetlb_delete_from_page_cache() to use folios. Patch 5 adds a folio_hstate() function to get hstate information from a folio and adds a user of folio_hstate(). Bpftrace was used to track time spent in the free_huge_pages function during the ltp test cases as it is a caller of the hugetlb subpool functions.

hugetlb: fix null-ptr-deref in hugetlb_vma_lock_write

2023-12-13T17:39:20+00:00

commit 187da0f8250aa94bd96266096aef6f694e0b4cd2 upstream. The routine __vma_private_lock tests for the existence of a reserve map associated with a private hugetlb mapping. A pointer to the reserve map is in vma->vm_private_data. __vma_private_lock was checking the pointer for NULL. However, it is possible that the low bits of the pointer could be used as flags. In such instances, vm_private_data is not NULL and not a valid pointer.

Extend the locking scheme used to protect shared hugetlb mappings from truncate vs page fault races, in order to protect private hugetlb mappings (with resv_map) against MADV_DONTNEED. Add a read-write semaphore to the resv_map data structure, and use that from the hugetlb_vma_(un)lock_* functions, in preparation for closing the race between MADV_DONTNEED and page faults.
