This caused by temporarily cleared PTE during a read+clear/modify/write update of the PTE, eg, do_numa_page()/change_pte_range(). For the data segment of the user-mode program, the global variable area is a private mapping. After the pagecache is loaded, the private anonymous page is generated after the COW is triggered. Mlockall can lock COW pages (anonymous pages), but the original file pages cannot be locked and may be reclaimed. If the global variable (private anon page) is accessed when vmf->pte is zeroed in numa fault, a file page fault will be triggered. At this time, the original private file page may have been reclaimed. If the page cache is not available at this time, a major fault will be triggered and the file will be read, causing additional overhead. Fix this by rechecking the PTE without acquiring PTL in filemap_fault() before triggering a major fault. Testing file anonymous page read and write page fault performance in ext4 and ramdisk using will-it-scale[2] on a x86 physical machine. The data is the average change compared with the mainline after the patch is applied. The test results are within the range of fluctuation, and there is no obvious difference. The test results are as follows: processes processes_idle threads threads_idle ext4 private file write: -1.14% -0.08% -1.87% 0.13% ext4 shared file write: 0.14% -0.53% 2.88% -0.77% ext4 private file read: 0.03% -0.65% -0.51% -0.08% tmpfs private file write: -0.34% -0.11% 0.20% 0.15% tmpfs shared file write: 0.96% 0.10% 2.78% -0.34% ramdisk private file write: -1.21% -0.21% -1.12% 0.11% ramdisk private file read: 0.00% -0.68% -0.33% -0.02% [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/9e62fd9a-bee0-52bf-50a7-498fa17434ee@huawei.com/ [2] https://github.com/antonblanchard/will-it-scale/ Suggested-by: "Huang, Ying" Suggested-by: Yin Fengwei Signed-off-by: ZhangPeng Signed-off-by: Kefeng Wang --- v1->v2: - Add more test results per Huang, Ying - Add more comments before check PTE per Huang, Ying, David Hildenbrand and Yin Fengwei - Change pte_offset_map_nolock to pte_offset_map as the ptl lock won't be used RFC->v1: - Add error handling when ptep == NULL per Huang, Ying and Matthew Wilcox - Check the PTE without acquiring PTL in filemap_fault(), suggested by Huang, Ying and Yin Fengwei - Add pmd_none() check before PTE map - Update commit message and add performance test information mm/filemap.c | 34 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 34 insertions(+) diff --git a/mm/filemap.c b/mm/filemap.c index 142864338ca4..a2c1a98bc771 100644 --- a/mm/filemap.c +++ b/mm/filemap.c @@ -3238,6 +3238,40 @@ vm_fault_t filemap_fault(struct vm_fault *vmf) mapping_locked = true; } } else { + if (!pmd_none(*vmf->pmd)) { + pte_t *ptep; + + ptep = pte_offset_map(vmf->pmd, vmf->address); + if (unlikely(!ptep)) + return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE; + /* + * Recheck PTE as the PTE can be cleared temporarily + * during a read+clear/modify/write update of the PTE, + * eg, do_numa_page()/change_pte_range().
