Series mm/kvm/vfio/ppc64: Migrate compound pages out of CMA region | expand

Commit Message

Aneesh Kumar K.V Sept. 18, 2018, 11:58 a.m. UTC
This helper does a get_user_pages_fast and if it find pages in the CMA area
it will try to migrate them before taking page reference. This makes sure that
we don't keep non-movable pages (due to page reference count) in the CMA area.
Not able to move pages out of CMA area result in CMA allocation failures.

HPAGE_PMD_ORDER is 2MB or 1GB? THP are always that PMD order?

Above 10 lines I cannot really comment due to my massive ignorance in
this area, especially about what lru_add_drain_all() and
mod_node_page_state() :(

migrate_allow seems useless, simply calling get_user_pages_fast() should
make the code easier to read imho. And the comment says
get_user_pages(), where does this guy hide?

Move this "drain_allow = true" right after "get_user_again:"?

2M or 16M. THP is at PMD level.

The rules are same as get_user_pages_fast, which does that pin attempt
without taking mm->mmap_sem. If it fail get_user_pages_fast will take
the mmap_sem and try to pin the pages. The details are in
get_user_pages_fast. You can look at get_user_pages_unlocked

That makes sure we move the pages from per cpu lru vec and add them to
the right lru list so that we can isolate the pages correctly.

I didn't get that suggestion. What we want to do here is try to migrate pages as
long as we find CMA pages in the result of get_user_pages_fast. If we
failed any migration attempt, don't try to migrate again.

I understand the idea but cannot confirm the correctness :-/

btw, can these pages be used by somebody else in this short window

Setting migrate_allow to false here means you jump up, call
get_user_pages_fast() and then run the loop which will do nothing just
because if(...migrate_allow) is false. Instead of jumping up you could
just call get_user_pages_fast().

btw what is migrate_pages() leaves something in cma_page_list (I cannot
see it removing pages)? Won't it loop indefinitely?

isolate lru page make sure that we remove them from lru list. So lru
walkers won't find the page. If somebody happen to increment the page
reference count in that window, the migrate_pages will fail. That is
handled via migrate_page_move_mapping returning EAGAIN

ok, that is coding preference I guess, I prefer to avoid multiple
get_user_pages_fast there. Since we droped the page reference, we need
to _go back_ and get the page reference without attempting to migrate. That
is the way I was looking at this.

putback_movable_pages take care of that. The below hunk.

			if (!list_empty(&cma_page_list))
				putback_movable_pages(&cma_page_list);
