2024-06-05mm: drop the 'anon_' prefix for swap-out mTHP countersBaolin Wang
The mTHP swap related counters: 'anon_swpout' and 'anon_swpout_fallback' are confusing with an 'anon_' prefix, since the shmem can swap out non-anonymous pages. So drop the 'anon_' prefix to keep consistent with the old swap counter names. This is needed in 6.10-rcX to avoid having an inconsistent ABI out in the field.

2024-05-05mm/khugepaged: replace page_mapcount() check by folio_likely_mapped_shared()David Hildenbrand
We want to limit the use of page_mapcount() to places where absolutely required, to prepare for kernel configs where we won't keep track of per-page mapcounts in large folios. khugepaged is one of the remaining "more challenging" page_mapcount() users, but we might be able to move away from page_mapcount() without resulting in a significant behavior change that would warrant special-casing based on kernel configs. In 2020, we first added support to khugepaged for collapsing COW-shared pages via commit 9445689f3b61 ("khugepaged: allow to collapse a page shared across fork"), followed by support for collapsing PTE-mapped THP in commit 5503fbf2b0b8 ("khugepaged: allow to collapse PTE-mapped compound pages") and limiting the memory waste via the "page_count() > 1" check in commit 71a2c112a0f6 ("khugepaged: introduce 'max_ptes_shared' tunable"). As a default, khugepaged will allow up to half of the PTEs to map shared pages: where page_mapcount() > 1. MADV_COLLAPSE ignores the khugepaged setting. khugepaged does currently not care about swapcache page references, and does not check under folio lock: so in some corner cases the "shared vs. exclusive" detection might be a bit off, making us detect "exclusive" when it's actually "shared". Most of our anonymous folios in the system are usually exclusive. We frequently see sharing of anonymous folios for a short period of time, after which our short-lived suprocesses either quit or exec(). There are some famous examples, though, where child processes exist for a long time, and where memory is COW-shared with a lot of processes (webservers, webbrowsers, sshd, ...) and COW-sharing is crucial for reducing the memory footprint. We don't want to suddenly change the behavior to result in a significant increase in memory waste. Interestingly, khugepaged will only collapse an anonymous THP if at least one PTE is writable. After fork(), that means that something (usually a page fault) populated at least a single exclusive anonymous THP in that PMD range. So ... what happens when we switch to "is this folio mapped shared" instead of "is this page mapped shared" by using folio_likely_mapped_shared()? For "not-COW-shared" folios, small folios and for THPs (large folios) that are completely mapped into at least one process, switching to folio_likely_mapped_shared() will not result in a change. We'll only see a change for COW-shared PTE-mapped THPs that are partially mapped into all involved processes. There are two cases to consider: (A) folio_likely_mapped_shared() returns "false" for a PTE-mapped THP If the folio is detected as exclusive, and it actually is exclusive, there is no change: page_mapcount() == 1. This is the common case without fork() or with short-lived child processes. folio_likely_mapped_shared() might currently still detect a folio as exclusive although it is shared (false negatives): if the first page is not mapped multiple times and if the average per-page mapcount is smaller than 1, implying that (1) the folio is partially mapped and (2) if we are responsible for many mapcounts by mapping many pages others can't ("mostly exclusive") (3) if we are not responsible for many mapcounts by mapping little pages ("mostly shared") it won't make a big impact on the end result. So while we might now detect a page as "exclusive" although it isn't, it's not expected to make a big difference in common cases. (B) folio_likely_mapped_shared() returns "true" for a PTE-mapped THP folio_likely_mapped_shared() will never detect a large anonymous folio as shared although it is exclusive: there are no false positives. If we detect a THP as shared, at least one page of the THP is mapped by another process. It could well be that some pages are actually exclusive. For example, our child processes could have unmapped/COW'ed some pages such that they would now be exclusive to out process, which we now would treat as still-shared. Examples: (1) Parent maps all pages of a THP, child maps some pages. We detect all pages in the parent as shared although some are actually exclusive. (2) Parent maps all but some page of a THP, child maps the remainder. We detect all pages of the THP that the parent maps as shared although they are all exclusive. In (1) we wouldn't collapse a THP right now already: no PTE is writable, because a write fault would have resulted in COW of a single page and the parent would no longer map all pages of that THP. For (2) we would have collapsed a THP in the parent so far, now we wouldn't as long as the child process is still alive: unless the child process unmaps the remaining THP pages or we decide to split that THP. Possibly, the child COW'ed many pages, meaning that it's likely that we can populate a THP for our child first, and then for our parent. For (2), we are making really bad use of the THP in the first place (not even mapped completely in at least one process). If the THP would be completely partially mapped, it would be on the deferred split queue where we would split it lazily later. For short-running child processes, we don't particularly care. For long-running processes, the expectation is that such scenarios are rather rare: further, a THP might be best placed if most data in the PMD range is actually written, implying that we'll have to COW more pages first before khugepaged would collapse it. To summarize, in the common case, this change is not expected to matter much. The more common application of khugepaged operates on exclusive pages, either before fork() or after a child quit. Can we improve (A)? Yes, if we implement more precise tracking of "mapped shared" vs. "mapped exclusively", we could get rid of the false negatives completely. Can we improve (B)? We could count how many pages of a large folio we map inside the current page table and detect that we are responsible for most of the folio mapcount and conclude "as good as exclusive", which might help in some cases. ... but likely, some other mechanism should detect that the THP is not a good use in the scenario (not even mapped completely in a single process) and try splitting that folio lazily etc. We'll move the folio_test_anon() check before our "shared" check, so we might get more expressive results for SCAN_EXCEED_SHARED_PTE: this order of checks now matches the one in __collapse_huge_page_isolate().

2023-12-20mm: thp: introduce multi-size THP sysfs interfaceRyan Roberts
In preparation for adding support for anonymous multi-size THP, introduce new sysfs structure that will be used to control the new behaviours. A new directory is added under transparent_hugepage for each supported THP size, and contains an `enabled` file, which can be set to "inherit" (to inherit the global setting), "always", "madvise" or "never". For now, the kernel still only supports PMD-sized anonymous THP, so only 1 directory is populated. The first half of the change converts transhuge_vma_suitable() and hugepage_vma_check() so that they take a bitfield of orders for which the user wants to determine support, and the functions filter out all the orders that can't be supported, given the current sysfs configuration and the VMA dimensions. The resulting functions are renamed to thp_vma_suitable_orders() and thp_vma_allowable_orders() respectively. Convenience functions that take a single, unencoded order and return a boolean are also defined as thp_vma_suitable_order() and thp_vma_allowable_order(). The second half of the change implements the new sysfs interface. It has been done so that each supported THP size has a `struct thpsize`, which describes the relevant metadata and is itself a kobject. This is pretty minimal for now, but should make it easy to add new per-thpsize files to the interface if needed in future (e.g. per-size defrag). Rather than keep the `enabled` state directly in the struct thpsize, I've elected to directly encode it into huge_anon_orders_[always|madvise|inherit] bitfields since this reduces the amount of work required in thp_vma_allowable_orders() which is called for every page fault. See Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst, as modified by this commit, for details of how the new sysfs interface works.

2022-10-03mm/khugepaged: attempt to map file/shmem-backed pte-mapped THPs by pmdsZach O'Keefe
The main benefit of THPs are that they can be mapped at the pmd level, increasing the likelihood of TLB hit and spending less cycles in page table walks. pte-mapped hugepages - that is - hugepage-aligned compound pages of order HPAGE_PMD_ORDER mapped by ptes - although being contiguous in physical memory, don't have this advantage. In fact, one could argue they are detrimental to system performance overall since they occupy a precious hugepage-aligned/sized region of physical memory that could otherwise be used more effectively. Additionally, pte-mapped hugepages can be the cheapest memory to collapse for khugepaged since no new hugepage allocation or copying of memory contents is necessary - we only need to update the mapping page tables. In the anonymous collapse path, we are able to collapse pte-mapped hugepages (albeit, perhaps suboptimally), but the file/shmem path makes no effort when compound pages (of any order) are encountered. Identify pte-mapped hugepages in the file/shmem collapse path. The final step of which makes a racy check of the value of the pmd to ensure it maps a pte table. This should be fine, since races that result in false-positive (i.e. attempt collapse even though we shouldn't) will fail later in collapse_pte_mapped_thp() once we actually lock mmap_lock and reinspect the pmd value. Races that result in false-negatives (i.e. where we decide to not attempt collapse, but should have) shouldn't be an issue, since in the worst case, we do nothing - which is what we've done up to this point. We make a similar check in retract_page_tables(). If we do think we've found a pte-mapped hugepgae in khugepaged context, attempt to update page tables mapping this hugepage. Note that these collapses still count towards the /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/pages_collapsed counter, and if the pte-mapped hugepage was also mapped into multiple process' address spaces, could be incremented for each page table update. Since we increment the counter when a pte-mapped hugepage is successfully added to the list of to-collapse pte-mapped THPs, it's possible that we never actually update the page table either. This is different from how file/shmem pages_collapsed accounting works today where only a successful page cache update is counted (it's also possible here that no page tables are actually changed). Though it incurs some slop, this is preferred to either not accounting for the event at all, or plumbing through data in struct mm_slot on whether to account for the collapse or not. Also note that work still needs to be done to support arbitrary compound pages, and that this should all be converted to using folios.

This patch leaves this field untouched but adds two new fields, thp_{fault,file}_fallback_charge, which is incremented only when the mem cgroup charge fails. This distinguishes between attempted hugepage allocations that fail due to fragmentation (or low memory conditions) and those that fail due to mem cgroup limits. That can be used to determine the impact of fragmentation on the system by excluding faults that failed due to memcg usage.
