[PATCHv7 00/29] THP-enabled tmpfs/shmem using compound pages

[Kirill A. Shutemov]

This is probably the last update before the mm summit. Main forcus is on
khugepaged stability.

khugepaged is in more reasonable shape now. I missed quite a few corner
cases on first try. I run this version via LTP, trinity and syzkaller
without crashes so far.

The patchset is on top of v4.6-rc3 plus Hugh's "easy preliminaries to
THPagecache" and Ebru's khugepaged swapin patches form -mm tree.

Git tree:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kas/linux.git hugetmpfs/v7

== Changelog ==

v7:
  - khugepaged updates:
    + fix page leak/page cache corruption on collapse fail;
    + filter out VMAs not suitable for huge pages due misaligned vm_pgoff;
    + fix build without CONFIG_SHMEM;
    + drop few over-protective checks;
  - fix bogus VM_BUG_ON() in __delete_from_page_cache();

v6:
  - experimental collapse support;
  - fix swapout mapped huge pages;
  - fix page leak in faularound code;
  - fix exessive huge page allocation with huge=within_size;
  - rename VM_NO_THP to VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED;
  - fix condition in hugepage_madvise();
  - accounting reworked again;

v5:
  - add FileHugeMapped to /proc/PID/smaps;
  - make FileHugeMapped in meminfo aligned with other fields;
  - Documentation/vm/transhuge.txt updated;

v4:
  - first four patch were applied to -mm tree;
  - drop pages beyond i_size on split_huge_pages;
  - few small random bugfixes;

v3:
  - huge= mountoption now can have values always, within_size, advice and
    never;
  - sysctl handle is replaced with sysfs knob;
  - MADV_HUGEPAGE/MADV_NOHUGEPAGE is now respected on page allocation via
    page fault;
  - mlock() handling had been fixed;
  - bunch of smaller bugfixes and cleanups.

== Design overview ==

Huge pages are allocated by shmem when it's allowed (by mount option) and
there's no entries for the range in radix-tree. Huge page is represented by
HPAGE_PMD_NR entries in radix-tree.

MM core maps a page with PMD if ->fault() returns huge page and the VMA is
suitable for huge pages (size, alignment). There's no need into two
requests to file system: filesystem returns huge page if it can,
graceful fallback to small pages otherwise.

As with DAX, split_huge_pmd() is implemented by unmapping the PMD: we can
re-fault the page with PTEs later.

Basic scheme for split_huge_page() is the same as for anon-THP.
Few differences:

  - File pages are on radix-tree, so we have head->_count offset by
    HPAGE_PMD_NR. The count got distributed to small pages during split.

  - mapping->tree_lock prevents non-lockless access to pages under split
    over radix-tree;

  - Lockless access is prevented by setting the head->_count to 0 during
    split, so get_page_unless_zero() would fail;

  - After split, some pages can be beyond i_size. We drop them from
    radix-tree.

  - We don't setup migration entries. Just unmap pages. It helps
    handling cases when i_size is in the middle of the page: no need
    handle unmap pages beyond i_size manually.

COW mapping handled on PTE-level. It's not clear how beneficial would be
allocation of huge pages on COW faults. And it would require some code to
make them work.

I think at some point we can consider teaching khugepaged to collapse
pages in COW mappings, but allocating huge on fault is probably overkill.

As with anon THP, we mlock file huge page only if it mapped with PMD.
PTE-mapped THPs are never mlocked. This way we can avoid all sorts of
scenarios when we can leak mlocked page.

As with anon THP, we split huge page on swap out.

Truncate and punch hole that only cover part of THP range is implemented
by zero out this part of THP.

This have visible effect on fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) behaviour.
As we don't really create hole in this case, lseek(SEEK_HOLE) may have
inconsistent results depending what pages happened to be allocated.
I don't think this will be a problem.

== Patchset overview ==

[01/29]
	Update documentation on THP vs. mlock. I've posted it separately
	before. It can go in.

[02-04/29]
        Rework fault path and rmap to handle file pmd. Unlike DAX with
        vm_ops->pmd_fault, we don't need to ask filesystem twice -- first
        for huge page and then for small. If ->fault happened to return
        huge page and VMA is suitable for mapping it as huge, we would
	do so.
[05/29]
	Add support for huge file pages in rmap;

[06-15/29]
        Various preparation of THP core for file pages.

[16-20/29]
        Various preparation of MM core for file pages.

[21-24/29]
        And finally, bring huge pages into tmpfs/shmem.

[25/29]
	Wire up madvise() existing hints for file THP.
	We can implement fadvise() later.

[26/29]
	Documentation update.

[27-29/29]
	Extend khugepaged to support shmem/tmpfs.
