mm: Fix a hmm_range_fault() livelock / starvation problem

2026-03-19T15:15:11+00:00

commit b570f37a2ce480be26c665345c5514686a8a0274 upstream. If hmm_range_fault() fails a folio_trylock() in do_swap_page, trying to acquire the lock of a device-private folio for migration, to ram, the function will spin until it succeeds grabbing the lock. However, if the process holding the lock is depending on a work item to be completed, which is scheduled on the same CPU as the spinning hmm_range_fault(), that work item might be starved and we end up in a livelock / starvation situation which is never resolved. This can happen, for example if the process holding the device-private folio lock is stuck in migrate_device_unmap()->lru_add_drain_all() sinc lru_add_drain_all() requires a short work-item to be run on all online cpus to complete. A prerequisite for this to happen is: a) Both zone device and system memory folios are considered in migrate_device_unmap(), so that there is a reason to call lru_add_drain_all() for a system memory folio while a folio lock is held on a zone device folio. b) The zone device folio has an initial mapcount > 1 which causes at least one migration PTE entry insertion to be deferred to try_to_migrate(), which can happen after the call to lru_add_drain_all(). c) No or voluntary only preemption. This all seems pretty unlikely to happen, but indeed is hit by the "xe_exec_system_allocator" igt test. Resolve this by waiting for the folio to be unlocked if the folio_trylock() fails in do_swap_page(). Rename migration_entry_wait_on_locked() to softleaf_entry_wait_unlock() and update its documentation to indicate the new use-case. Future code improvements might consider moving the lru_add_drain_all() call in migrate_device_unmap() to be called *after* all pages have migration entries inserted. That would eliminate also b) above. v2: - Instead of a cond_resched() in hmm_range_fault(), eliminate the problem by waiting for the folio to be unlocked in do_swap_page() (Alistair Popple, Andrew Morton) v3: - Add a stub migration_entry_wait_on_locked() for the !CONFIG_MIGRATION case.

mm: replace pmd_to_swp_entry() with softleaf_from_pmd()

2025-11-24T23:08:51+00:00

Introduce softleaf_from_pmd() to do the equivalent operation for PMDs that softleaf_from_pte() fulfils, and cascade changes through code base accordingly, introducing helpers as necessary. We are then able to eliminate pmd_to_swp_entry(), is_pmd_migration_entry(), is_pmd_device_private_entry() and is_pmd_non_present_folio_entry(). This further establishes the use of leaf operations throughout the code base and further establishes the foundations for eliminating is_swap_pmd(). No functional change intended.

mm/migrate_device: implement THP migration of zone device pages

2025-11-24T23:08:48+00:00

MIGRATE_VMA_SELECT_COMPOUND will be used to select THP pages during migrate_vma_setup() and MIGRATE_PFN_COMPOUND will make migrating device pages as compound pages during device pfn migration. migrate_device code paths go through the collect, setup and finalize phases of migration. The entries in src and dst arrays passed to these functions still remain at a PAGE_SIZE granularity. When a compound page is passed, the first entry has the PFN along with MIGRATE_PFN_COMPOUND and other flags set (MIGRATE_PFN_MIGRATE, MIGRATE_PFN_VALID), the remaining entries (HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1) are filled with 0's. This representation allows for the compound page to be split into smaller page sizes. migrate_vma_collect_hole(), migrate_vma_collect_pmd() are now THP page aware. Two new helper functions migrate_vma_collect_huge_pmd() and migrate_vma_insert_huge_pmd_page() have been added. migrate_vma_collect_huge_pmd() can collect THP pages, but if for some reason this fails, there is fallback support to split the folio and migrate it. migrate_vma_insert_huge_pmd_page() closely follows the logic of migrate_vma_insert_page() Support for splitting pages as needed for migration will follow in later patches in this series.

At this point MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS is misnamed for all folio users, and now that we remove MIGRATEPAGE_UNMAP, it's really the only "success" return value that the code uses and expects. Let's just get rid of MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS completely and just use "0" for success.

mm/migrate: remove MIGRATEPAGE_UNMAP

2025-09-13T23:54:50+00:00

migrate_folio_unmap() is the only user of MIGRATEPAGE_UNMAP. We want to remove MIGRATEPAGE_* completely. It's rather weird to have a generic MIGRATEPAGE_UNMAP, documented to be returned from address-space callbacks, when it's only used for an internal helper. Let's start by having only a single "success" return value for migrate_folio_unmap() -- 0 -- by moving the "folio was already freed" check into the single caller. There is a remaining comment for PG_isolated, which we renamed to PG_movable_ops_isolated recently and forgot to update. While we might still run into that case with zsmalloc, it's something we want to get rid of soon. So let's just focus that optimization on real folios only for now by excluding movable_ops pages. Note that concurrent freeing can happen at any time and this "already freed" check is not relevant for correctness.

But when I use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ZSMALLOC), page_movable_ops() cannot access zsmalloc_mops because zsmalloc_mops is in a module. To solve this problem, we define a set_movable_ops() interface to register and unregister offline_movable_ops / zsmalloc_movable_ops in mm/migrate.c, and call them at mm/balloon_compaction.c & mm/zsmalloc.c. Since offline_movable_ops / zsmalloc_movable_ops are always accessible, all #ifdef / #endif are removed in page_movable_ops().

mm: convert "movable" flag in page->mapping to a page flag

2025-07-13T23:38:30+00:00

Instead, let's use a page flag. As the page flag can result in false-positives, glue it to the page types for which we support/implement movable_ops page migration. We are reusing PG_uptodate, that is for example used to track file system state and does not apply to movable_ops pages. So warning in case it is set in page_has_movable_ops() on other page types could result in false-positive warnings. Likely we could set the bit using a non-atomic update: in contrast to page->mapping, we could have others trying to update the flags concurrently when trying to lock the folio. In isolate_movable_ops_page(), we already take care of that by checking if the page has movable_ops before locking it. Let's start with the atomic variant, we could later switch to the non-atomic variant once we are sure other cases are similarly fine. Once we perform the switch, we'll have to introduce __SETPAGEFLAG_NOOP().

... instead, look them up statically based on the page type. Maybe in the future we want a registration interface? At least for now, it can be easily handled using the two page types that actually support page migration. The remaining usage of page->mapping is to flag such pages as actually being movable (having movable_ops), which we will change next.

mm/migration: remove PageMovable()

2025-07-13T23:38:28+00:00

Previously, if __ClearPageMovable() were invoked on a page, this would cause __PageMovable() to return false, but due to the continued existence of page movable ops, PageMovable() would have returned true. With __ClearPageMovable() gone, the two are exactly equivalent. So we can replace PageMovable() checks by __PageMovable(). In fact, __PageMovable() cannot change until a page is freed, so we can turn some PageMovable() into sanity checks for __PageMovable().
