mempolicy: migration attempt to match interleave nodes

2023-10-25T23:47:16+00:00

Improve alloc_migration_target_by_mpol()'s treatment of MPOL_INTERLEAVE. Make an effort in do_mbind(), to identify the correct interleave index for the first page to be migrated, so that it and all subsequent pages from the same vma will be targeted to precisely their intended nodes. Pages from following vmas will still be interleaved from the requested nodemask, but perhaps starting from a different base. Whether this is worth doing at all, or worth improving further, is arguable: queue_folio_required() is right not to care about the precise placement on interleaved nodes; but this little effort seems appropriate.

mempolicy: mmap_lock is not needed while migrating folios

2023-10-25T23:47:16+00:00

mbind(2) holds down_write of current task's mmap_lock throughout (exclusive because it needs to set the new mempolicy on the vmas); migrate_pages(2) holds down_read of pid's mmap_lock throughout. They both hold mmap_lock across the internal migrate_pages(), under which all new page allocations (huge or small) are made. I'm nervous about it; and migrate_pages() certainly does not need mmap_lock itself. It's done this way for mbind(2), because its page allocator is vma_alloc_folio() or alloc_hugetlb_folio_vma(), both of which depend on vma and address. Now that we have alloc_pages_mpol(), depending on (refcounted) memory policy and interleave index, mbind(2) can be modified to use that or alloc_hugetlb_folio_nodemask(), and then not need mmap_lock across the internal migrate_pages() at all: add alloc_migration_target_by_mpol() to replace mbind's new_page(). (After that change, alloc_hugetlb_folio_vma() is used by nothing but a userfaultfd function: move it out of hugetlb.h and into the #ifdef.) migrate_pages(2) has chosen its target node before migrating, so can continue to use the standard alloc_migration_target(); but let it take and drop mmap_lock just around migrate_to_node()'s queue_pages_range(): neither the node-to-node calculations nor the page migrations need it. It seems unlikely, but it is conceivable that some userspace depends on the kernel's mmap_lock exclusion here, instead of doing its own locking: more likely in a testsuite than in real life. It is also possible, of course, that some pages on the list will be munmapped by another thread before they are migrated, or a newer memory policy applied to the range by that time: but such races could happen before, as soon as mmap_lock was dropped, so it does not appear to be a concern.

mempolicy: alloc_pages_mpol() for NUMA policy without vma

2023-10-25T23:47:16+00:00

Shrink shmem's stack usage by eliminating the pseudo-vma from its folio allocation. alloc_pages_mpol(gfp, order, pol, ilx, nid) becomes the principal actor for passing mempolicy choice down to __alloc_pages(), rather than vma_alloc_folio(gfp, order, vma, addr, hugepage). vma_alloc_folio() and alloc_pages() remain, but as wrappers around alloc_pages_mpol(). alloc_pages_bulk_*() untouched, except to provide the additional args to policy_nodemask(), which subsumes policy_node(). Cleanup throughout, cutting out some unhelpful "helpers". It would all be much simpler without MPOL_INTERLEAVE, but that adds a dynamic to the constant mpol: complicated by v3.6 commit 09c231cb8bfd ("tmpfs: distribute interleave better across nodes"), which added ino bias to the interleave, hidden from mm/mempolicy.c until this commit. Hence "ilx" throughout, the "interleave index". Originally I thought it could be done just with nid, but that's wrong: the nodemask may come from the shared policy layer below a shmem vma, or it may come from the task layer above a shmem vma; and without the final nodemask then nodeid cannot be decided. And how ilx is applied depends also on page order. The interleave index is almost always irrelevant unless MPOL_INTERLEAVE: with one exception in alloc_pages_mpol(), where the NO_INTERLEAVE_INDEX passed down from vma-less alloc_pages() is also used as hint not to use THP-style hugepage allocation - to avoid the overhead of a hugepage arg (though I don't understand why we never just added a GFP bit for THP - if it actually needs a different allocation strategy from other pages of the same order). vma_alloc_folio() still carries its hugepage arg here, but it is not used, and should be removed when agreed. get_vma_policy() no longer allows a NULL vma: over time I believe we've eradicated all the places which used to need it e.g. swapoff and madvise used to pass NULL vma to read_swap_cache_async(), but now know the vma.

mempolicy: remove confusing MPOL_MF_LAZY dead code

2023-10-25T23:47:16+00:00

v3.8 commit b24f53a0bea3 ("mm: mempolicy: Add MPOL_MF_LAZY") introduced MPOL_MF_LAZY, and included it in the MPOL_MF_VALID flags; but a720094ded8 ("mm: mempolicy: Hide MPOL_NOOP and MPOL_MF_LAZY from userspace for now") immediately removed it from MPOL_MF_VALID flags, pending further review. "This will need to be revisited", but it has not been reinstated. The present state is confusing: there is dead code in mm/mempolicy.c to handle MPOL_MF_LAZY cases which can never occur. Remove that: it can be resurrected later if necessary. But keep the definition of MPOL_MF_LAZY, which must remain in the UAPI, even though it always fails with EINVAL. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/1553041659-46787-1-git-send-email-yang.shi@linux.alibaba.com/ links to a previous request to remove MPOL_MF_LAZY.

mempolicy trivia: slightly more consistent naming

2023-10-25T23:47:15+00:00

Before getting down to work, do a little cleanup, mainly of inconsistent variable naming. I gave up trying to rationalize mpol versus pol versus policy, and node versus nid, but let's avoid p and nd. Remove a few superfluous blank lines, but add one; and here prefer vma->vm_policy to vma_policy(vma) - the latter being appropriate in other sources, which have to allow for !CONFIG_NUMA. That intriguing line about KERNEL_DS? should have gone in v2.6.15, when numa_policy_init() stopped using set_mempolicy(2)'s system call handler.
