(Trying to err on the side of caution with these tags.) There is a git repo and branch, for convenience in reviewing: git@github.com:johnhubbard/linux.git track_user_pages_v6 ============================================================ Changes since v5: * Rebased onto Linux 5.6.0-rc1. * Swapped in Matthew Wilcox's more comprehensive dump_page() patch, and moved it later in this series so that it immediately precedes my subsequent dump_page() patch, for slightly easier reviews and commit log history. * Fixed "the last bug!" in the /proc/vmstat patch, by moving the mod_node_page_state() call in put_compound_page() so that it only happens in the FOLL_PIN case. * Added a couple more ACKs from Kirill. * Tweaked the "Future steps" in this cover letter to add a little detail about what comes next. ============================================================ Changes since v4: * Added documentation about the huge page behavior of the new /proc/vmstat items. * Added a missing mode_node_page_state() call to put_compound_head(). * Fixed a tracepoint call in page_ref_sub_return(). * Added a trailing underscore to a URL in pin_user_pages.rst, to fix a broken generated link. * Added ACKs and reviewed-by's from Jan Kara and Kirill Shutemov. * Rebased onto today's linux.git, and * I am experimenting here with "git format-patch --base=". This generated the "base-commit:" tag you'll see at the end of this cover letter. I was inspired to do so after trying out a new get-lore-mbox.py tool (it's very nice), mentioned in a recent LWN article (https://lwn.net/Articles/811528/ ). That tool relies on the base-commit tag for some things. ============================================================ Changes since v3: * Rebased onto latest linux.git * Added ACKs and reviewed-by's from Kirill Shutemov and Jan Kara. * /proc/vmstat: * Renamed items, after realizing that I hate the previous names: nr_foll_pin_requested --> nr_foll_pin_acquired nr_foll_pin_returned --> nr_foll_pin_released * Removed the CONFIG_DEBUG_VM guard, and collapsed away a wrapper routine: now just calls mod_node_page_state() directly. * Tweaked the WARN_ON_ONCE() statements in mm/hugetlb.c to be more informative, and added comments above them as well. * Fixed gup_benchmark: signed int --> unsigned long. * One or two minor formatting changes. ============================================================ Changes since v2: * Rebased onto linux.git, because the akpm tree for 5.6 has been merged. * Split the tracking patch into even more patches, as requested. * Merged Matthew Wilcox's dump_page() changes into mine, as part of the first patch. * Renamed: page_dma_pinned() --> page_maybe_dma_pinned(), in response to Kirill Shutemov's review. * Moved a WARN to the top of a routine, and fixed a typo in the commit description of patch #7, also as suggested by Kirill. ============================================================ Changes since v1: * Split the tracking patch into 6 smaller patches * Rebased onto today's linux-next/akpm (there weren't any conflicts). * Fixed an "unsigned int" vs. "int" problem in gup_benchmark, reported by Nathan Chancellor. (I don't see it in my local builds, probably because they use gcc, but an LLVM test found the mismatch.) * Fixed a huge page pincount problem (add/subtract vs. increment/decrement), spotted by Jan Kara. ============================================================ There is a reasonable case to be made for merging two of the patches (patches 7 and 8), given that patch 7 provides tracking that has upper limits on the number of pins that can be done with huge pages. Let me know if anyone wants those merged, but unless there is some weird chance of someone grabbing patch 7 and not patch 8, I don't really see the need. Meanwhile, it's easier to review in this form. Also, patch 3 has been revived. Earlier reviewers asked for it to be merged into the tracking patch (one cannot please everyone, heh), but now it's back out on it's own. This activates tracking of FOLL_PIN pages. This is in support of fixing the get_user_pages()+DMA problem described in [1]-[4]. FOLL_PIN support is now in the main linux tree. However, the patch to use FOLL_PIN to track pages was *not* submitted, because Leon saw an RDMA test suite failure that involved (I think) page refcount overflows when huge pages were used. This patch definitively solves that kind of overflow problem, by adding an exact pincount, for compound pages (of order > 1), in the 3rd struct page of a compound page. If available, that form of pincounting is used, instead of the GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS approach. Thanks again to Jan Kara for that idea. Other interesting changes: * dump_page(): added one, or two new things to report for compound pages: head refcount (for all compound pages), and map_pincount (for compound pages of order > 1). * Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst: removed the "TODO" for the huge page refcount upper limit problems, and added notes about how it works now. Also added a note about the dump_page() enhancements. * Added some comments in gup.c and mm.h, to explain that there are two ways to count pinned pages: exact (for compound pages of order > 1) and fuzzy (GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS: for all other pages). ============================================================ General notes about the tracking patch: This is a prerequisite to solving the problem of proper interactions between file-backed pages, and [R]DMA activities, as discussed in [1], [2], [3], [4] and in a remarkable number of email threads since about 2017. :) In contrast to earlier approaches, the page tracking can be incrementally applied to the kernel call sites that, until now, have been simply calling get_user_pages() ("gup"). In other words, opt-in by changing from this: get_user_pages() (sets FOLL_GET) put_page() to this: pin_user_pages() (sets FOLL_PIN) unpin_user_page() ============================================================ Future steps: * Convert more subsystems from get_user_pages() to pin_user_pages(). The first probably needs to be bio/biovecs, because any filesystem testing is too difficult without those in place. * Change VFS and filesystems to respond appropriately when encountering dma-pinned pages. * Work with Ira and others to connect this all up with file system leases.
