We're going to use migration entries instead of compound_lock() to stabilize page refcounts. Setup and remove migration entries require page to be locked. Some of split_huge_page() callers already have the page locked. Let's require everybody to lock the page before calling split_huge_page(). Signed-off-by:

We are going to use migration PTE entries to stabilize page counts. If the page is mapped with PMDs we need to split the PMD and setup migration entries. It's reasonable to combine these operations to avoid double-scanning over the page table. Signed-off-by:

Original split_huge_page() combined two operations: splitting PMDs into tables of PTEs and splitting underlying compound page. This patch implements split_huge_pmd() which split given PMD without splitting other PMDs this page mapped with or underlying compound page. Without tail page refcounting, implementation of split_huge_pmd() is pretty straight-forward. Signed-off-by:

Let's define page_mapped() to be true for compound pages if any sub-pages of the compound page is mapped (with PMD or PTE). On other hand page_mapcount() return mapcount for this particular small page. This will make cases like page_get_anon_vma() behave correctly once we allow huge pages to be mapped with PTE. Most users outside core-mm should use page_mapcount() instead of page_mapped(). Signed-off-by:

We're going to allow mapping of individual 4k pages of THP compound. It means we need to track mapcount on per small page basis. Straight-forward approach is to use ->_mapcount in all subpages to track how many time this subpage is mapped with PMDs or PTEs combined. But this is rather expensive: mapping or unmapping of a THP page with PMD would require HPAGE_PMD_NR atomic operations instead of single we have now. The idea is to store separately how many times the page was mapped as whole -- compound_mapcount. This frees up ->_mapcount in subpages to track PTE mapcount. We use the same approach as with compound page destructor and compound order to store compound_mapcount: use space in first tail page, ->mapping this time. Any time we map/unmap whole compound page (THP or hugetlb) -- we increment/decrement compound_mapcount. When we map part of compound page with PTE we operate on ->_mapcount of the subpage. page_mapcount() counts both: P...

Tail page refcounting is utterly complicated and painful to support. It uses ->_mapcount on tail pages to store how many times this page is pinned. get_page() bumps ->_mapcount on tail page in addition to ->_count on head. This information is required by split_huge_page() to be able to distribute pins from head of compound page to tails during the split. We will need ->_mapcount to account PTE mappings of subpages of the compound page. We eliminate need in current meaning of ->_mapcount in tail pages by forbidding split entirely if the page is pinned. The only user of tail page refcounting is THP which is marked BROKEN for now. Let's drop all this mess. It makes get_page() and put_page() much simpler. Signed-off-by:

Up to this point we tried to keep patchset bisectable, but next patches are going to change how core of THP refcounting work. It would be beneficial to split the change into several patches and make it more reviewable. Unfortunately, I don't see how we can achieve that while keeping THP working. Let's hide THP under CONFIG_BROKEN for now and bring it back when new refcounting get established. Signed-off-by:

With new refcounting THP can belong to several VMAs. This makes tricky to track THP pages, when they partially mlocked. It can lead to leaking mlocked pages to non-VM_LOCKED vmas and other problems. With this patch we will split all pages on mlock and avoid fault-in/collapse new THP in VM_LOCKED vmas. I've tried alternative approach: do not mark THP pages mlocked and keep them on normal LRUs. This way vmscan could try to split huge pages on memory pressure and free up subpages which doesn't belong to VM_LOCKED vmas. But this is user-visible change: we screw up Mlocked accouting reported in meminfo, so I had to leave this approach aside. We can bring something better later, but this should be good enough for now.

With new refcounting we are going to see THP tail pages mapped with PTE. Generic fast GUP rely on page_cache_get_speculative() to obtain reference on page. page_cache_get_speculative() always fails on tail pages, because ->_count on tail pages is always zero. Let's handle tail pages in gup_pte_range(). New split_huge_page() will rely on migration entries to freeze page's counts. Recheck PTE value after page_cache_get_speculative() on head page should be enough to serialize against split. Signed-off-by:

With new refcounting we will be able map the same compound page with PTEs and PMDs. It requires adjustment to conditions when we can reuse the page on write-protection fault. For PTE fault we can't reuse the page if it's part of huge page. For PMD we can only reuse the page if nobody else maps the huge page or it's part. We can do it by checking page_mapcount() on each sub-page, but it's expensive. The cheaper way is to check page_count() to be equal 1: every mapcount takes page reference, so this way we can guarantee, that the PMD is the only mapping. This approach can give false negative if somebody pinned the page, but that doesn't affect correctness. Signed-off-by:

As with rmap, with new refcounting we cannot rely on PageTransHuge() to check if we need to charge size of huge page form the cgroup. We need to get information from caller to know whether it was mapped with PMD or PTE. We do uncharge when last reference on the page gone. At that point if we see PageTransHuge() it means we need to unchange whole huge page. The tricky part is partial unmap -- when we try to unmap part of huge page. We don't do a special handing of this situation, meaning we don't uncharge the part of huge page unless last user is gone or split_huge_page() is triggered. In case of cgroup memory pressure happens the partial unmapped page will be split through shrinker. This should be good enough. Signed-off-by:

The goal of this patchset is to make refcounting on THP pages cheaper with simpler semantics and allow the same THP compound page to be mapped with PMD and PTEs. This is required to get reasonable THP-pagecache implementation. With the new refcounting design it's much easier to protect against split_huge_page(): simple reference on a page will make you the deal. It makes gup_fast() implementation simpler and doesn't require special-case in futex code to handle tail THP pages. It should improve THP utilization over the system since splitting THP in one process doesn't necessary lead to splitting the page in all other processes have the page mapped. The patchset drastically lower complexity of get_page()/put_page() codepaths. I encourage people look on this code before-and-after to justify time budget on reviewing this patchset. This patch (of 37): With new refcounting all subpages of the compound page are not necessary have the same mapcount. We need to take into account mapcount of every sub-page. Signed-off-by:

We don't define meaning of page->mapping for tail pages. Currently it's always NULL, which can be inconsistent with head page and potentially lead to problems. Let's poison the pointer to catch all illigal uses. page_rmapping(), page_mapping() and page_anon_vma() are changed to look on head page. The only illegal use I've caught so far is __GPF_COMP pages from sound subsystem, mapped with PTEs. do_shared_fault() is changed to use page_rmapping() instead of direct access to fault_page->mapping.
