Current cpuset API for checking if a zone/node is allowed to allocate
from looks rather awkward. We have hardwall and softwall versions of
cpuset_node_allowed with the softwall version doing literally the same
as the hardwall version if __GFP_HARDWALL is passed to it in gfp flags.
If it isn't, the softwall version may check the given node against the
enclosing hardwall cpuset, which it needs to take the callback lock to
do.
Such a distinction was introduced by commit 02a0e53d82 ("cpuset:
rework cpuset_zone_allowed api"). Before, we had the only version with
the __GFP_HARDWALL flag determining its behavior. The purpose of the
commit was to avoid sleep-in-atomic bugs when someone would mistakenly
call the function without the __GFP_HARDWALL flag for an atomic
allocation. The suffixes introduced were intended to make the callers
think before using the function.
However, since the callback lock was converted from mutex to spinlock by
the previous patch, the softwall check function cannot sleep, and these
precautions are no longer necessary.
So let's simplify the API back to the single check.

Three different interfaces alter the maximum number of hugepages for an
hstate:
- /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages for global number of hugepages of the default
hstate,
- /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-X/nr_hugepages for global number of
hugepages for a specific hstate, and
- /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-X/nr_hugepages/mempolicy for number of
hugepages for a specific hstate over the set of allowed nodes.
Generalize the code so that a single function handles all of these
writes instead of duplicating the code in two different functions.
This decreases the number of lines of code, but also reduces the size of
.text by about half a percent since set_max_huge_pages() can be inlined.

PG_head_mask was added into VMCOREINFO to filter huge pages in b3acc56bfe
("kexec: save PG_head_mask in VMCOREINFO"), but makedumpfile still need
another symbol to filter *hugetlbfs* pages.
If a user hope to filter user pages, makedumpfile tries to exclude them by
checking the condition whether the page is anonymous, but hugetlbfs pages
aren't anonymous while they also be user pages.
We know it's possible to detect them in the same way as PageHuge(),
so we need the start address of free_huge_page():
int PageHuge(struct page *page)
{
if (!PageCompound(page))
return 0;
page = compound_head(page);
return get_compound_page_dtor(page) == free_huge_page;
}

Commit 4a705fef98 ("hugetlb: fix copy_hugetlb_page_range() to handle

This patch fixes it.

#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define HPS 0x200000
int main() {
int i;
char *p = malloc(HPS);
memset(p, '1', HPS);
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
if (!fork()) {
memset(p, '2', HPS);
p = malloc(HPS);
memset(p, '3', HPS);
free(p);
return 0;
}
}
sleep(1);
free(p);
return 0;
}
$ export HUGETLB_MORECORE=yes ; export HUGETLB_NO_PREFAULT= ; hugectl --heap ./heap

HugeTLB is limited to allocating hugepages whose size are less than
MAX_ORDER order. This is so because HugeTLB allocates hugepages via the
buddy allocator. Gigantic pages (that is, pages whose size is greater
than MAX_ORDER order) have to be allocated at boottime.
However, boottime allocation has at least two serious problems. First,
it doesn't support NUMA and second, gigantic pages allocated at boottime
can't be freed.
This commit solves both issues by adding support for allocating gigantic
pages during runtime. It works just like regular sized hugepages,
meaning that the interface in sysfs is the same, it supports NUMA, and
gigantic pages can be freed.
For example, on x86_64 gigantic pages are 1GB big. To allocate two 1G
gigantic pages on node 1, one can do:
# echo 2 > \
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
And to free them all:
# echo 0 > \
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
The one problem with gigantic page allocation at runtime is that it
can't be serviced by the buddy allocator. To overcome that problem,
this commit scans all zones from a node looking for a large enough
contiguous region. When one is found, it's allocated by using CMA, that
is, we call alloc_contig_range() to do the actual allocation. For
example, on x86_64 we scan all zones looking for a 1GB contiguous
region. When one is found, it's allocated by alloc_contig_range().
One expected issue with that approach is that such gigantic contiguous
regions tend to vanish as runtime goes by. The best way to avoid this
for now is to make gigantic page allocations very early during system
boot, say from a init script. Other possible optimization include using
compaction, which is supported by CMA but is not explicitly used by this
commit.
It's also important to note the following:
1. Gigantic pages allocated at boottime by the hugepages= command-line
option can be freed at runtime just fine
2. This commit adds support for gigantic pages only to x86_64. The
reason is that I don't have access to nor experience with other archs.
The code is arch indepedent though, so it should be simple to add
support to different archs
3. I didn't add support for hugepage overcommit, that is allocating
a gigantic page on demand when
/proc/sys/vm/nr_overcommit_hugepages > 0. The reason is that I don't
think it's reasonable to do the hard and long work required for
allocating a gigantic page at fault time. But it should be simple
to add this if wanted

The HugeTLB subsystem uses the buddy allocator to allocate hugepages
during runtime. This means that hugepages allocation during runtime is
limited to MAX_ORDER order. For archs supporting gigantic pages (that
is, page sizes greater than MAX_ORDER), this in turn means that those
pages can't be allocated at runtime.
HugeTLB supports gigantic page allocation during boottime, via the boot
allocator. To this end the kernel provides the command-line options
hugepagesz= and hugepages=, which can be used to instruct the kernel to
allocate N gigantic pages during boot.
For example, x86_64 supports 2M and 1G hugepages, but only 2M hugepages
can be allocated and freed at runtime. If one wants to allocate 1G
gigantic pages, this has to be done at boot via the hugepagesz= and
hugepages= command-line options.
Now, gigantic page allocation at boottime has two serious problems:
1. Boottime allocation is not NUMA aware. On a NUMA machine the kernel
evenly distributes boottime allocated hugepages among nodes.
For example, suppose you have a four-node NUMA machine and want
to allocate four 1G gigantic pages at boottime. The kernel will
allocate one gigantic page per node.
On the other hand, we do have users who want to be able to specify
which NUMA node gigantic pages should allocated from. So that they
can place virtual machines on a specific NUMA node.
2. Gigantic pages allocated at boottime can't be freed
At this point it's important to observe that regular hugepages allocated
at runtime don't have those problems. This is so because HugeTLB
interface for runtime allocation in sysfs supports NUMA and runtime
allocated pages can be freed just fine via the buddy allocator.
This series adds support for allocating gigantic pages at runtime. It
does so by allocating gigantic pages via CMA instead of the buddy
allocator. Releasing gigantic pages is also supported via CMA. As this
series builds on top of the existing HugeTLB interface, it makes gigantic
page allocation and releasing just like regular sized hugepages. This
also means that NUMA support just works.
For example, to allocate two 1G gigantic pages on node 1, one can do:
# echo 2 > \
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
And, to release all gigantic pages on the same node:
# echo 0 > \
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
Please, refer to patch 5/5 for full technical details.
Finally, please note that this series is a follow up for a previous series
that tried to extend the command-line options set to be NUMA aware:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=139593335312191&w=2
During the discussion of that series it was agreed that having runtime
allocation support for gigantic pages was a better solution.

This function is going to be used by non-init code in a future

HPAGE_SHIFT == 0 in this configuration, which indicates that hugepages

hugetlb_init(). Extract the check to a helper function, and use it in a

This does make hugetlbfs not supported (not registered at all) in this

When I decrease the value of nr_hugepage in procfs a lot, softlockup
happens. It is because there is no chance of context switch during this
process.
On the other hand, when I allocate a large number of hugepages, there is
some chance of context switch. Hence softlockup doesn't happen during
this process. So it's necessary to add the context switch in the
freeing process as same as allocating process to avoid softlockup.
When I freed 12 TB hugapages with kernel-2.6.32-358.el6, the freeing
process occupied a CPU over 150 seconds and following softlockup message
appeared twice or more.

I have not confirmed this problem with upstream kernels because I am not
able to prepare the machine equipped with 12TB memory now. However I
confirmed that the amount of decreasing hugepages was directly
proportional to the amount of required time.
I measured required times on a smaller machine. It showed 130-145
hugepages decreased in a millisecond.

10,000 pages == 20GB 70 - 74 135-142

It means decrement of 6TB hugepages will trigger softlockup with the

The NUMA scanning code can end up iterating over many gigabytes of
unpopulated memory, especially in the case of a freshly started KVM
guest with lots of memory.
This results in the mmu notifier code being called even when there are
no mapped pages in a virtual address range. The amount of time wasted
can be enough to trigger soft lockup warnings with very large KVM
guests.
This patch moves the mmu notifier call to the pmd level, which
represents 1GB areas of memory on x86-64. Furthermore, the mmu notifier
code is only called from the address in the PMD where present mappings
are first encountered.
The hugetlbfs code is left alone for now; hugetlb mappings are not
relocatable, and as such are left alone by the NUMA code, and should
never trigger this problem to begin with.

The kernel can currently only handle a single hugetlb page fault at a
time. This is due to a single mutex that serializes the entire path.
This lock protects from spurious OOM errors under conditions of low
availability of free hugepages. This problem is specific to hugepages,
because it is normal to want to use every single hugepage in the system
- with normal pages we simply assume there will always be a few spare
pages which can be used temporarily until the race is resolved.
Address this problem by using a table of mutexes, allowing a better
chance of parallelization, where each hugepage is individually
serialized. The hash key is selected depending on the mapping type.
For shared ones it consists of the address space and file offset being
faulted; while for private ones the mm and virtual address are used.
The size of the table is selected based on a compromise of collisions
and memory footprint of a series of database workloads.
Large database workloads that make heavy use of hugepages can be
particularly exposed to this issue, causing start-up times to be
painfully slow. This patch reduces the startup time of a 10 Gb Oracle
DB (with ~5000 faults) from 37.5 secs to 25.7 secs. Larger workloads
will naturally benefit even more.
NOTE:
The only downside to this patch, detected by Joonsoo Kim, is that a
small race is possible in private mappings: A child process (with its
own mm, after cow) can instantiate a page that is already being handled
by the parent in a cow fault. When low on pages, can trigger spurious
OOMs. I have not been able to think of a efficient way of handling
this... but do we really care about such a tiny window? We already
maintain another theoretical race with normal pages. If not, one
possible way to is to maintain the single hash for private mappings --
any workloads that *really* suffer from this scaling problem should
already use shared mappings.

When we do mmap, we don't grab a hugetlb_instantiation_mutex, but only
mmap_sem (exclusively). This doesn't prevent other tasks from modifying
the region structure, so it can be modified by two processes
concurrently.
To solve this, introduce a spinlock to resv_map and make region

Since the naming, get/put_mems_allowed() does suggest a mandatory

This gives us: read_mems_allowed_begin() and read_mems_allowed_retry(),

This patch adds a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(cond, page) which beyond doing what

Commit 7cb2ef56e6 ("mm: fix aio performance regression for database
caused by THP") can cause dereference of a dangling pointer if
split_huge_page runs during PageHuge() if there are updates to the
tail_page->private field.
Also it is repeating compound_head twice for hugetlbfs and it is running
compound_head+compound_trans_head for THP when a single one is needed in
both cases.
The new code within the PageSlab() check doesn't need to verify that the
THP page size is never bigger than the smallest hugetlbfs page size, to
avoid memory corruption.
A longstanding theoretical race condition was found while fixing the
above (see the change right after the skip_unlock label, that is
relevant for the compound_lock path too).
By re-establishing the _mapcount tail refcounting for all compound
pages, this also fixes the below problem:

Right now, the migration code in migrate_page_copy() uses copy_huge_page()
for hugetlbfs and thp pages:
if (PageHuge(page) || PageTransHuge(page))
copy_huge_page(newpage, page);
So, yay for code reuse. But:
void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src)
{
struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src);
and a non-hugetlbfs page has no page_hstate(). This works 99% of the
time because page_hstate() determines the hstate from the page order
alone. Since the page order of a THP page matches the default hugetlbfs
page order, it works.
But, if you change the default huge page size on the boot command-line
(say default_hugepagesz=1G), then we might not even *have* a 2MB hstate
so page_hstate() returns null and copy_huge_page() oopses pretty fast
since copy_huge_page() dereferences the hstate:
void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src)
{
struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src);
if (unlikely(pages_per_huge_page(h) > MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES)) {
...
Mel noticed that the migration code is really the only user of these
functions. This moves all the copy code over to migrate.c and makes
copy_huge_page() work for THP by checking for it explicitly.
I believe the bug was introduced in commit b32967ff10 ("mm: numa: Add
THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case")

Commit 11feeb4980 ("kvm: optimize away THP checks in
kvm_is_mmio_pfn()") introduced a memory leak when KVM is run on gigantic
compound pages.
That commit depends on the assumption that PG_reserved is identical for
all head and tail pages of a compound page. So that if get_user_pages
returns a tail page, we don't need to check the head page in order to
know if we deal with a reserved page that requires different
refcounting.
The assumption that PG_reserved is the same for head and tail pages is
certainly correct for THP and regular hugepages, but gigantic hugepages
allocated through bootmem don't clear the PG_reserved on the tail pages
(the clearing of PG_reserved is done later only if the gigantic hugepage
is freed).
This patch corrects the gigantic compound page initialization so that we
can retain the optimization in 11feeb4980. The cacheline was already
modified in order to set PG_tail so this won't affect the boot time of
large memory systems.

Until now we can't offline memory blocks which contain hugepages because a
hugepage is considered as an unmovable page. But now with this patch
series, a hugepage has become movable, so by using hugepage migration we
can offline such memory blocks.
What's different from other users of hugepage migration is that we need to
decompose all the hugepages inside the target memory block into free buddy
pages after hugepage migration, because otherwise free hugepages remaining
in the memory block intervene the memory offlining. For this reason we
introduce new functions dissolve_free_huge_page() and
dissolve_free_huge_pages().
Other than that, what this patch does is straightforwardly to add hugepage
migration code, that is, adding hugepage code to the functions which scan
over pfn and collect hugepages to be migrated, and adding a hugepage
allocation function to alloc_migrate_target().
As for larger hugepages (1GB for x86_64), it's not easy to do hotremove
over them because it's larger than memory block. So we now simply leave
it to fail as it is.

related system calls (migrate_pages(2), move_pages(2), and mbind(2)), and
memory hotplug.
This patchset does not add hugepage migration for memory compaction,
because users of memory compaction mainly expect to construct thp by
arranging raw pages, and there's little or no need to compact hugepages.
CMA, another user of page migration, can have benefit from hugepage
migration, but is not enabled to support it for now (just because of lack
of testing and expertise in CMA.)
Hugepage migration of non pmd-based hugepage (for example 1GB hugepage in
x86_64, or hugepages in architectures like ia64) is not enabled for now
(again, because of lack of testing.)
As for how these are achived, I extended the API (migrate_pages()) to
handle hugepage (with patch 1 and 2) and adjusted code of each caller to
check and collect movable hugepages (with patch 3-7). Remaining 2 patches
are kind of miscellaneous ones to avoid unexpected behavior. Patch 8 is
about making sure that we only migrate pmd-based hugepages. And patch 9
is about choosing appropriate zone for hugepage allocation.
My test is mainly functional one, simply kicking hugepage migration via
each entry point and confirm that migration is done correctly. Test code
is available here:
git://github.com/Naoya-Horiguchi/test_hugepage_migration_extension.git
And I always run libhugetlbfs test when changing hugetlbfs's code. With
this patchset, no regression was found in the test.
This patch (of 9):
Before enabling each user of page migration to support hugepage,
this patch enables the list of pages for migration to link not only
LRU pages, but also hugepages. As a result, putback_movable_pages()
and migrate_pages() can handle both of LRU pages and hugepages.

If we fail with a reserved page, just calling put_page() is not
sufficient, because put_page() invoke free_huge_page() at last step and it
doesn't know whether a page comes from a reserved pool or not. So it
doesn't do anything related to reserved count. This makes reserve count
lower than how we need, because reserve count already decrease in
dequeue_huge_page_vma(). This patch fix this situation.
