mm/gup_benchmark: rename to mm/gup_test

2020-12-15T20:13:38+00:00

Patch series "selftests/vm: gup_test, hmm-tests, assorted improvements", v3. Summary: This series provides two main things, and a number of smaller supporting goodies. The two main points are: 1) Add a new sub-test to gup_test, which in turn is a renamed version of gup_benchmark. This sub-test allows nicer testing of dump_pages(), at least on user-space pages. For quite a while, I was doing a quick hack to gup_test.c whenever I wanted to try out changes to dump_page(). Then Matthew Wilcox asked me what I meant when I said "I used my dump_page() unit test", and I realized that it might be nice to check in a polished up version of that. Details about how it works and how to use it are in the commit description for patch #6 ("selftests/vm: gup_test: introduce the dump_pages() sub-test"). 2) Fixes a limitation of hmm-tests: these tests are incredibly useful, but only if people actually build and run them. And it turns out that libhugetlbfs is a little too effective at throwing a wrench in the works, there. So I've added a little configuration check that removes just two of the 21 hmm-tests, if libhugetlbfs is not available. Further details in the commit description of patch #8 ("selftests/vm: hmm-tests: remove the libhugetlbfs dependency"). Other smaller things that this series does: a) Remove code duplication by creating gup_test.h. b) Clear up the sub-test organization, and their invocation within run_vmtests.sh. c) Other minor assorted improvements. [1] v2 is here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/20200929212747.251804-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAHk-=wgh-TMPHLY3jueHX7Y2fWh3D+nMBqVS__AZm6-oorquWA@mail.gmail.com This patch (of 9): Rename nearly every "gup_benchmark" reference and file name to "gup_test". The one exception is for the actual gup benchmark test itself. The current code already does a *little* bit more than benchmarking, and definitely covers more than get_user_pages_fast(). More importantly, however, subsequent patches are about to add some functionality that is non-benchmark related. Closely related changes: * Kconfig: in addition to renaming the options from GUP_BENCHMARK to GUP_TEST, update the help text to reflect that it's no longer a benchmark-only test.

mm/gup_benchmark: take the mmap lock around GUP

2020-10-18T16:27:09+00:00

To be safe against concurrent changes to the VMA tree, we must take the mmap lock around GUP operations (excluding the GUP-fast family of operations, which will take the mmap lock by themselves if necessary). This code is only for testing, and it's only reachable by root through debugfs, so this doesn't really have any impact; however, if we want to add lockdep asserts into the GUP path, we need to have clean locking here.

mm/gup_benchmark: use pin_user_pages for FOLL_LONGTERM flag

2020-10-14T01:38:29+00:00

According to Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst, FOLL_PIN is a prerequisite to FOLL_LONGTERM. Another way of saying that is, FOLL_LONGTERM is a specific case, more restrictive case of FOLL_PIN. Almost all kernel modules are using pin_user_pages() with FOLL_LONGTERM, mm/gup_benchmark.c seems to the only exception in which FOLL_PIN is not a prerequisite to FOLL_LONGTERM.

mm/gup_benchmark: support pin_user_pages() and related calls

2020-04-02T16:35:27+00:00

Up until now, gup_benchmark supported testing of the following kernel functions: * get_user_pages(): via the '-U' command line option * get_user_pages_longterm(): via the '-L' command line option * get_user_pages_fast(): as the default (no options required) Add test coverage for the new corresponding pin_*() functions: * pin_user_pages_fast(): via the '-a' command line option * pin_user_pages(): via the '-b' command line option Also, add an option for clarity: '-u' for what is now (still) the default choice: get_user_pages_fast(). Also, for the commands that set FOLL_PIN, verify that the pages really are dma-pinned, via the new is_dma_pinned() routine. Those commands are: PIN_FAST_BENCHMARK : calls pin_user_pages_fast() PIN_BENCHMARK : calls pin_user_pages() In between the calls to pin_*() and unpin_user_pages(), check each page: if page_maybe_dma_pinned() returns false, then WARN and return. Do this outside of the benchmark timestamps, so that it doesn't affect reported times. Signed-off-by: John Hubbard Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Reviewed-by: Ira Weiny Acked-by: Kirill A.

mm/gup_benchmark: use proper FOLL_WRITE flags instead of hard-coding "1"

2020-01-31T18:30:38+00:00

Fix the gup benchmark flags to use the symbolic FOLL_WRITE, instead of a hard-coded "1" value. Also, clean up the filtering of gup flags a little, by just doing it once before issuing any of the get_user_pages*() calls. This makes it harder to overlook, instead of having little "gup_flags & 1" phrases in the function calls.

mm/gup: replace get_user_pages_longterm() with FOLL_LONGTERM

2019-05-14T16:47:45+00:00

Pach series "Add FOLL_LONGTERM to GUP fast and use it". HFI1, qib, and mthca, use get_user_pages_fast() due to its performance advantages. These pages can be held for a significant time. But get_user_pages_fast() does not protect against mapping FS DAX pages. Introduce FOLL_LONGTERM and use this flag in get_user_pages_fast() which retains the performance while also adding the FS DAX checks. XDP has also shown interest in using this functionality.[1] In addition we change get_user_pages() to use the new FOLL_LONGTERM flag and remove the specialized get_user_pages_longterm call. [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/3/19/939 "longterm" is a relative thing and at this point is probably a misnomer. This is really flagging a pin which is going to be given to hardware and can't move. I've thought of a couple of alternative names but I think we have to settle on if we are going to use FL_LAYOUT or something else to solve the "longterm" problem. Then I think we can change the flag to a better name. Secondly, it depends on how often you are registering memory. I have spoken with some RDMA users who consider MR in the performance path... For the overall application performance. I don't have the numbers as the tests for HFI1 were done a long time ago. But there was a significant advantage. Some of which is probably due to the fact that you don't have to hold mmap_sem. Finally, architecturally I think it would be good for everyone to use *_fast. There are patches submitted to the RDMA list which would allow the use of *_fast (they reworking the use of mmap_sem) and as soon as they are accepted I'll submit a patch to convert the RDMA core as well. Also to this point others are looking to use *_fast. As an aside, Jasons pointed out in my previous submission that *_fast and *_unlocked look very much the same. I agree and I think further cleanup will be coming. But I'm focused on getting the final solution for DAX at the moment. This patch (of 7): This patch starts a series which aims to support FOLL_LONGTERM in get_user_pages_fast(). Some callers who would like to do a longterm (user controlled pin) of pages with the fast variant of GUP for performance purposes. Rather than have a separate get_user_pages_longterm() call, introduce FOLL_LONGTERM and change the longterm callers to use it. This patch does not change any functionality. In the short term "longterm" or user controlled pins are unsafe for Filesystems and FS DAX in particular has been blocked. However, callers of get_user_pages_fast() were not "protected". FOLL_LONGTERM can _only_ be supported with get_user_pages[_fast]() as it requires vmas to determine if DAX is in use. NOTE: In merging with the CMA changes we opt to change the get_user_pages() call in check_and_migrate_cma_pages() to a call of __get_user_pages_locked() on the newly migrated pages. This makes the code read better in that we are calling __get_user_pages_locked() on the pages before and after a potential migration. As a side affect some of the interfaces are cleaned up but this is not the primary purpose of the series. In review[1] it was asked: > This I don't get - if you do lock down long term mappings performance > of the actual get_user_pages call shouldn't matter to start with. > > What do I miss? A couple of points. First "longterm" is a relative thing and at this point is probably a misnomer. This is really flagging a pin which is going to be given to hardware and can't move.

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the return value. The function can work or not, but the code logic should never do something different based on this.
