[PATCH] mm/huge_memory: Avoid PMD-size page cache if needed
From: Gavin Shan
Date: Thu Jul 11 2024 - 06:49:42 EST
Currently, xarray can't support arbitrary page cache size and the
largest and supported page cache size is defined as MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER
in commit 099d90642a71 ("mm/filemap: make MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER acceptable
to xarray"). However, it's possible to have 512MB page cache in the huge
memory collapsing path on ARM64 system whose base page size is 64KB. A
warning is raised when the huge page cache is split as shown in the
following example.
[root@dhcp-10-26-1-207 ~]# cat /proc/1/smaps | grep KernelPageSize
KernelPageSize: 64 kB
[root@dhcp-10-26-1-207 ~]# cat /tmp/test.c
:
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
const char *filename = TEST_XFS_FILENAME;
int fd = 0;
void *buf = (void *)-1, *p;
int pgsize = getpagesize();
int ret = 0;
if (pgsize != 0x10000) {
fprintf(stdout, "System with 64KB base page size is required!\n");
return -EPERM;
}
system("echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/253:0/read_ahead_kb");
system("echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches");
/* Open xfs or shmem file */
fd = open(filename, O_RDONLY);
assert(fd > 0);
/* Create VMA */
buf = mmap(NULL, TEST_MEM_SIZE, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
assert(buf != (void *)-1);
fprintf(stdout, "mapped buffer at 0x%p\n", buf);
/* Populate VMA */
ret = madvise(buf, TEST_MEM_SIZE, MADV_NOHUGEPAGE);
assert(ret == 0);
ret = madvise(buf, TEST_MEM_SIZE, MADV_POPULATE_READ);
assert(ret == 0);
/* Collapse VMA */
ret = madvise(buf, TEST_MEM_SIZE, MADV_HUGEPAGE);
assert(ret == 0);
ret = madvise(buf, TEST_MEM_SIZE, MADV_COLLAPSE);
if (ret) {
fprintf(stdout, "Error %d to madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE)\n", errno);
goto out;
}
/* Split xarray. The file needs to reopened with write permission */
munmap(buf, TEST_MEM_SIZE);
buf = (void *)-1;
close(fd);
fd = open(filename, O_RDWR);
assert(fd > 0);
fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE | FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE,
TEST_MEM_SIZE - pgsize, pgsize);
out:
if (buf != (void *)-1)
munmap(buf, TEST_MEM_SIZE);
if (fd > 0)
close(fd);
return ret;
}

Fix it by avoiding PMD-sized page cache in the huge memory collapsing
path. After this patch is applied, the test program fails with error
-EINVAL returned from __thp_vma_allowable_orders() and the madvise()
system call to collapse the page caches.
Fixes: 6b24ca4a1a8d ("mm: Use multi-index entries in the page cache")
