[ Upstream commit e6112fc300702f96374f34368513d57795fc6d23 ]

split_huge_page_to_list() fails on HugeTLB pages.  I was experimenting
with moving 32MB contig HugeTLB pages on arm64 (with a debug patch
applied) and hit the following stack trace when the kernel crashed.

[ 3732.462797] Call trace:

When unmap_and_move[_huge_page]() fails due to lack of memory, the
splitting should happen only for transparent huge pages not for HugeTLB
pages.  PageTransHuge() returns true for both THP and HugeTLB pages.
Hence the conditonal check should test PagesHuge() flag to make sure that
given pages is not a HugeTLB one.

<id>urn:sha1:6b9c2cc710f58a1108a33bb1cf8a3526e2470266</id>

commit e125fe405abedc1dc8a5b2229b80ee91c1434015 upstream.

A transparent huge page is represented by a single entry on an LRU list.
Therefore, we can only make unevictable an entire compound page, not
individual subpages.

If a user tries to mlock() part of a huge page, we want the rest of the
page to be reclaimable.

We handle this by keeping PTE-mapped huge pages on normal LRU lists: the
PMD on border of VM_LOCKED VMA will be split into PTE table.

Introduction of THP migration breaks[1] the rules around mlocking THP
pages.  If we had a single PMD mapping of the page in mlocked VMA, the
page will get mlocked, regardless of PTE mappings of the page.

For tmpfs/shmem it's easy to fix by checking PageDoubleMap() in
remove_migration_pmd().

Anon THP pages can only be shared between processes via fork().  Mlocked
page can only be shared if parent mlocked it before forking, otherwise CoW
will be triggered on mlock().

For Anon-THP, we can fix the issue by munlocking the page on removing PTE
migration entry for the page.  PTEs for the page will always come after
mlocked PMD: rmap walks VMAs from oldest to newest.

Test-case:

	#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
	#include &lt;sys/mman.h&gt;
	#include &lt;sys/wait.h&gt;
	#include &lt;linux/mempolicy.h&gt;
	#include &lt;numaif.h&gt;

	int main(void)
	{
	        unsigned long nodemask = 4;
	        void *addr;

		addr = mmap((void *)0x20000000UL, 2UL &lt;&lt; 20, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
			MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_LOCKED, -1, 0);

	        if (fork()) {
			wait(NULL);
			return 0;
	        }

	        mlock(addr, 4UL &lt;&lt; 10);
	        mbind(addr, 2UL &lt;&lt; 20, MPOL_PREFERRED | MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES,
	                &amp;nodemask, 4, MPOL_MF_MOVE);

	        return 0;
	}

radix_tree_replace_slot() is called twice for head page, it's obviously
a bug.  Let's fix it.

<content type='text'>
My testing for the latest kernel supporting thp migration showed an
infinite loop in offlining the memory block that is filled with shmem
thps.  We can get out of the loop with a signal, but kernel should return
with failure in this case.

What happens in the loop is that scan_movable_pages() repeats returning
the same pfn without any progress.  That's because page migration always
fails for shmem thps.

In memory offline code, memory blocks containing unmovable pages should be
prevented from being offline targets by has_unmovable_pages() inside
start_isolate_page_range().  So it's possible to change migratability for
non-anonymous thps to avoid the issue, but it introduces more complex and
thp-specific handling in migration code, so it might not good.

So this patch is suggesting to fix the issue by enabling thp migration for
shmem thp.  Both of anon/shmem thp are migratable so we don't need
precheck about the type of thps.

Li Wang has reported that LTP move_pages04 test fails with the current
tree:

LTP move_pages04:
   TFAIL  :  move_pages04.c:143: status[1] is EPERM, expected EFAULT

The test allocates an array of two pages, one is present while the other
is not (resp.  backed by zero page) and it expects EFAULT for the second
page as the man page suggests.  We are reporting EPERM which doesn't make
any sense and this is a result of a bug from cf5f16b23ec9 ("mm: unclutter
THP migration").

do_pages_move tries to handle as many pages in one batch as possible so we
queue all pages with the same node target together and that corresponds to
[start, i] range which is then used to update status array.
add_page_for_migration will correctly notice the zero (resp.  !present)
page and returns with EFAULT which gets written to the status.  But if
this is the last page in the array we do not update start and so the last
store_status after the loop will overwrite the range of the last batch
with NUMA_NO_NODE (which corresponds to EPERM).

Fix this by simply bailing out from the last flush if the pagelist is
empty as there is clearly nothing more to do.

Remove the address_space -&gt;tree_lock and use the xa_lock newly added to
the radix_tree_root.  Rename the address_space -&gt;page_tree to -&gt;i_pages,
since we don't really care that it's a tree.

THP migration is hacked into the generic migration with rather
surprising semantic.  The migration allocation callback is supposed to
check whether the THP can be migrated at once and if that is not the
case then it allocates a simple page to migrate.  unmap_and_move then
fixes that up by spliting the THP into small pages while moving the head
page to the newly allocated order-0 page.  Remaning pages are moved to
the LRU list by split_huge_page.  The same happens if the THP allocation
fails.  This is really ugly and error prone [1].

I also believe that split_huge_page to the LRU lists is inherently wrong
because all tail pages are not migrated.  Some callers will just work
around that by retrying (e.g.  memory hotplug).  There are other pfn
walkers which are simply broken though.  e.g. madvise_inject_error will
migrate head and then advances next pfn by the huge page size.
do_move_page_to_node_array, queue_pages_range (migrate_pages, mbind),
will simply split the THP before migration if the THP migration is not
supported then falls back to single page migration but it doesn't handle
tail pages if the THP migration path is not able to allocate a fresh THP
so we end up with ENOMEM and fail the whole migration which is a
questionable behavior.  Page compaction doesn't try to migrate large
pages so it should be immune.

This patch tries to unclutter the situation by moving the special THP
handling up to the migrate_pages layer where it actually belongs.  We
simply split the THP page into the existing list if unmap_and_move fails
with ENOMEM and retry.  So we will _always_ migrate all THP subpages and
specific migrate_pages users do not have to deal with this case in a
special way.

No allocation callback is using this argument anymore.  new_page_node
used to use this parameter to convey node_id resp.  migration error up
to move_pages code (do_move_page_to_node_array).  The error status never
made it into the final status field and we have a better way to
communicate node id to the status field now.  All other allocation
callbacks simply ignored the argument so we can drop it finally.

Patch series "unclutter thp migration"

Motivation:

THP migration is hacked into the generic migration with rather
surprising semantic.  The migration allocation callback is supposed to
check whether the THP can be migrated at once and if that is not the
case then it allocates a simple page to migrate.  unmap_and_move then
fixes that up by splitting the THP into small pages while moving the
head page to the newly allocated order-0 page.  Remaining pages are
moved to the LRU list by split_huge_page.  The same happens if the THP
allocation fails.  This is really ugly and error prone [2].

I also believe that split_huge_page to the LRU lists is inherently wrong
because all tail pages are not migrated.  Some callers will just work
around that by retrying (e.g.  memory hotplug).  There are other pfn
walkers which are simply broken though.  e.g. madvise_inject_error will
migrate head and then advances next pfn by the huge page size.
do_move_page_to_node_array, queue_pages_range (migrate_pages, mbind),
will simply split the THP before migration if the THP migration is not
supported then falls back to single page migration but it doesn't handle
tail pages if the THP migration path is not able to allocate a fresh THP
so we end up with ENOMEM and fail the whole migration which is a
questionable behavior.  Page compaction doesn't try to migrate large
pages so it should be immune.

The first patch reworks do_pages_move which relies on a very ugly
calling semantic when the return status is pushed to the migration path
via private pointer.  It uses pre allocated fixed size batching to
achieve that.  We simply cannot do the same if a THP is to be split
during the migration path which is done in the patch 3.  Patch 2 is
follow up cleanup which removes the mentioned return status calling
convention ugliness.

On a side note:

There are some semantic issues I have encountered on the way when
working on patch 1 but I am not addressing them here.  E.g. trying to
move THP tail pages will result in either success or EBUSY (the later
one more likely once we isolate head from the LRU list).  Hugetlb
reports EACCESS on tail pages.  Some errors are reported via status
parameter but migration failures are not even though the original
`reason' argument suggests there was an intention to do so.  From a
quick look into git history this never worked.  I have tried to keep the
semantic unchanged.

Then there is a relatively minor thing that the page isolation might
fail because of pages not being on the LRU - e.g. because they are
sitting on the per-cpu LRU caches.  Easily fixable.

This patch (of 3):

do_pages_move is supposed to move user defined memory (an array of
addresses) to the user defined numa nodes (an array of nodes one for
each address).  The user provided status array then contains resulting
numa node for each address or an error.  The semantic of this function
is little bit confusing because only some errors are reported back.
Notably migrate_pages error is only reported via the return value.  This
patch doesn't try to address these semantic nuances but rather change
the underlying implementation.

Currently we are processing user input (which can be really large) in
batches which are stored to a temporarily allocated page.  Each address
is resolved to its struct page and stored to page_to_node structure
along with the requested target numa node.  The array of these
structures is then conveyed down the page migration path via private
argument.  new_page_node then finds the corresponding structure and
allocates the proper target page.

What is the problem with the current implementation and why to change
it? Apart from being quite ugly it also doesn't cope with unexpected
pages showing up on the migration list inside migrate_pages path.  That
doesn't happen currently but the follow up patch would like to make the
thp migration code more clear and that would need to split a THP into
the list for some cases.

How does the new implementation work? Well, instead of batching into a
fixed size array we simply batch all pages that should be migrated to
the same node and isolate all of them into a linked list which doesn't
require any additional storage.  This should work reasonably well
because page migration usually migrates larger ranges of memory to a
specific node.  So the common case should work equally well as the
current implementation.  Even if somebody constructs an input where the
target numa nodes would be interleaved we shouldn't see a large
performance impact because page migration alone doesn't really benefit
from batching.  mmap_sem batching for the lookup is quite questionable
and isolate_lru_page which would benefit from batching is not using it
even in the current implementation.

Use of pte_write(pte) is only valid for present pte, the common code
which set the migration entry can be reach for both valid present pte
and special swap entry (for device memory).  Fix the code to use the
mpfn value which properly handle both cases.

On x86 this did not have any bad side effect because pte write bit is
below PAGE_BIT_GLOBAL and thus special swap entry have it set to 0 which
in turn means we were always creating read only special migration entry.

So once migration did finish we always write protected the CPU page
table entry (moreover this is only an issue when migrating from device
memory to system memory).  End effect is that CPU write access would
fault again and restore write permission.

This behaviour isn't too bad; it just burns CPU cycles by forcing CPU to
take a second fault on write access. ie, double faulting the same
address.  There is no corruption or incorrect states (it behaves as a
COWed page from a fork with a mapcount of 1).
