mm: speculative page references If we can be sure that elevating the page_count on a pagecache page will pin it, we can speculatively run this operation, and subsequently check to see if we hit the right page rather than relying on holding a lock or otherwise pinning a reference to the page. This can be done if get_page/put_page behaves consistently throughout the whole tree (ie. if we "get" the page after it has been used for something else, we must be able to free it with a put_page). Actually, there is a period where the count behaves differently: when the page is free or if it is a constituent page of a compound page. We need an atomic_inc_not_zero operation to ensure we don't try to grab the page in either case. This patch introduces the core locking protocol to the pagecache (ie. adds page_cache_get_speculative, and tweaks some update-side code to make it work). Thanks to Hugh for pointing out an improvement to the algorithm setting page_count to zero when we have control of all references, in order to hold off speculative getters.

mmu-notifiers: add mm_take_all_locks() operation mm_take_all_locks holds off reclaim from an entire mm_struct. This allows mmu notifiers to register into the mm at any time with the guarantee that no mmu operation is in progress on the mm. This operation locks against the VM for all pte/vma/mm related operations that could ever happen on a certain mm. This includes vmtruncate, try_to_unmap, and all page faults. The caller must take the mmap_sem in write mode before calling mm_take_all_locks(). The caller isn't allowed to release the mmap_sem until mm_drop_all_locks() returns. mmap_sem in write mode is required in order to block all operations that could modify pagetables and free pages without need of altering the vma layout (for example populate_range() with nonlinear vmas). It's also needed in write mode to avoid new anon_vmas to be associated with existing vmas. A single task can't take more than one mm_take_all_locks() in a row or it would deadlock. mm_take_all_locks() and mm_drop_all_locks are expensive operations that may have to take thousand of locks. mm_take_all_locks() can fail if it's interrupted by signals. When mmu_notifier_register returns, we must be sure that the driver is notified if some task is in the middle of a vmtruncate for the 'mm' where the mmu notifier was registered (mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end is run around the vmtruncation but mmu_notifier_register can run after mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and before mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end). Same problem for rmap paths. And we've to remove page pinning to avoid replicating the tlb_gather logic inside KVM (and GRU doesn't work well with page pinning regardless of needing tlb_gather), so without mm_take_all_locks when vmtruncate frees the page, kvm would have no way to notice that it mapped into sptes a page that is going into the freelist without a chance of any further mmu_notifier notification.

/*
* speculatively take a reference to a page.
* If the page is free (_count == 0), then _count is untouched, and 0
* is returned. Otherwise, _count is incremented by 1 and 1 is returned.
*
* This function must be called inside the same rcu_read_lock() section as has
* been used to lookup the page in the pagecache radix-tree (or page table):
* this allows allocators to use a synchronize_rcu() to stabilize _count.
*
* Unless an RCU grace period has passed, the count of all pages coming out
* of the allocator must be considered unstable. page_count may return higher
* than expected, and put_page must be able to do the right thing when the
* page has been finished with, no matter what it is subsequently allocated
* for (because put_page is what is used here to drop an invalid speculative
* reference).
*
* This is the interesting part of the lockless pagecache (and lockless
* get_user_pages) locking protocol, where the lookup-side (eg. find_get_page)
* has the following pattern:
* 1. find page in radix tree
* 2. conditionally increment refcount
* 3. check the page is still in pagecache (if no, goto 1)
*
* Remove-side that cares about stability of _count (eg. reclaim) has the
* following (with tree_lock held for write):
* A. atomically check refcount is correct and set it to 0 (atomic_cmpxchg)
* B. remove page from pagecache
* C. free the page
*
* There are 2 critical interleavings that matter:
* - 2 runs before A: in this case, A sees elevated refcount and bails out
* - A runs before 2: in this case, 2 sees zero refcount and retries;
* subsequently, B will complete and 1 will find no page, causing the
* lookup to return NULL.
*
* It is possible that between 1 and 2, the page is removed then the exact same
* page is inserted into the same position in pagecache. That's OK: the
* old find_get_page using tree_lock could equally have run before or after
* such a re-insertion, depending on order that locks are granted.
*
* Lookups racing against pagecache insertion isn't a big problem: either 1
* will find the page or it will not. Likewise, the old find_get_page could run
* either before the insertion or afterwards, depending on timing.

mm: fix pagecache write deadlocks Modify the core write() code so that it won't take a pagefault while holding a lock on the pagecache page. There are a number of different deadlocks possible if we try to do such a thing: 1. generic_buffered_write 2. lock_page 3. prepare_write 4. unlock_page+vmtruncate 5. copy_from_user 6. mmap_sem(r) 7. handle_mm_fault 8. lock_page (filemap_nopage) 9. commit_write 10. unlock_page a. sys_munmap / sys_mlock / others b. mmap_sem(w) c. make_pages_present d. get_user_pages e. handle_mm_fault f. lock_page (filemap_nopage) 2,8 - recursive deadlock if page is same 2,8;2,8 - ABBA deadlock is page is different 2,6;b,f - ABBA deadlock if page is same The solution is as follows: 1. If we find the destination page is uptodate, continue as normal, but use atomic usercopies which do not take pagefaults and do not zero the uncopied tail of the destination. The destination is already uptodate, so we can commit_write the full length even if there was a partial copy: it does not matter that the tail was not modified, because if it is dirtied and written back to disk it will not cause any problems (uptodate *means* that the destination page is as new or newer than the copy on disk). 1a. The above requires that fault_in_pages_readable correctly returns access information, because atomic usercopies cannot distinguish between non-present pages in a readable mapping, from lack of a readable mapping. 2. If we find the destination page is non uptodate, unlock it (this could be made slightly more optimal), then allocate a temporary page to copy the source data into. Relock the destination page and continue with the copy. However, instead of a usercopy (which might take a fault), copy the data from the pinned temporary page via the kernel address space. (also, rename maxlen to seglen, because it was confusing) This increases the CPU/memory copy cost by almost 50% on the affected workloads. That will be solved by introducing a new set of pagecache write aops in a subsequent patch.

The destination is already uptodate, so we can commit_write the full length even if there was a partial copy: it does not matter that the tail was not modified, because if it is dirtied and written back to disk it will not cause any problems (uptodate *means* that the destination page is as new or newer than the copy on disk). 1a. The above requires that fault_in_pages_readable correctly returns access information, because atomic usercopies cannot distinguish between non-present pages in a readable mapping, from lack of a readable mapping. 2. If we find the destination page is non uptodate, unlock it (this could be made slightly more optimal), then allocate a temporary page to copy the source data into. Relock the destination page and continue with the copy. However, instead of a usercopy (which might take a fault), copy the data from the pinned temporary page via the kernel address space. (also, rename maxlen to seglen, because it was confusing) This increases the CPU/memory copy cost by almost 50% on the affected workloads. That will be solved by introducing a new set of pagecache write aops in a subsequent patch.
