[patch 0/7] 2.6.25-rc5-mm1: VM_MIXEDMAP, pte_special, xip series

[npiggin]

-- 
Hi,

This series introduces some important infrastructure work that I hope
can go in the next merge window. It has been quite widely reviewed and
has had a bit of testing (I have just tested XIP on brd on 2.6.25-rc5-mm1).

The overall result is that:
1. We now support XIP backed filesystems using memory that have no
   struct page allocated to them. And patches 6 and 7 actually implement
   this for s390.

   This is pretty important in a number of cases. As far as I understand,
   in the case of virtualisation (eg. s390), each guest may mount a
   readonly copy of the same filesystem (eg. the distro). Currently,
   guests need to allocate struct pages for this image. So if you have
   100 guests, you already need to allocate more memory for the struct
   pages than the size of the image. I think. (Carsten?)

   For other (eg. embedded) systems, you may have a very large non-
   volatile filesystem. If you have to have struct pages for this, then
   your RAM consumption will go up proportionally to fs size. Even
   though it is just a small proportion, the RAM can be much more costly
   eg in terms of power, so every KB less that Linux uses makes it more
   attractive to a lot of these guys.

2. VM_MIXEDMAP allows us to support mappings where you actually do want
   to refcount _some_ pages in the mapping, but not others, and support
   COW on arbitrary (non-linear) mappings. Jared needs this for his NVRAM
   filesystem in progress. Future iterations of this filesystem will
   most likely want to migrate pages between pagecache and XIP backing,
   which is where the requirement for mixed (some refcounted, some not)
   comes from.

3. pte_special also has a peripheral usage that I need for my lockless
   get_user_pages patch. That was shown to speed up "oltp" on db2 by
   10% on a 2 socket system, which is kind of significant because they
   scrounge for months to try to find 0.1% improvement on these
   workloads. I'm hoping we might finally be faster than AIX on
   pSeries with this :). My reference to lockless get_user_pages is not
   meant to justify this patchset (which doesn't include lockless gup),
   but just to show that pte_special is not some s390 specific thing that
   should be hidden in arch code or xip code: I definitely want to use it
   on at least x86 and powerpc as well.

There are basically no clashes between mainline and -mm, btw.

Thanks,
Nick

[patch 1/7] mm: introduce VM_MIXEDMAP

[npiggin, Jared Hulbert]

[-- Attachment #1: vm-mixedmap.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 7101 bytes --]

Introduce a new type of mapping, VM_MIXEDMAP. This is unlike VM_PFNMAP in
that it can support COW mappings of arbitrary ranges including ranges without
struct page *and* ranges with a struct page that we actually want to refcount
(PFNMAP can only support COW in those cases where the un-COW-ed translations
are mapped linearly in the virtual address, and can only support non
refcounted ranges).

VM_MIXEDMAP achieves this by refcounting all pfn_valid pages, and not
refcounting !pfn_valid pages (which is not an option for VM_PFNMAP, because
it needs to avoid refcounting pfn_valid pages eg. for /dev/mem mappings).

[patch 2/7] mm: introduce pte_special pte bit

[npiggin]

[-- Attachment #1: mm-normal-pte-bit.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 33944 bytes --]

s390 for one, cannot implement VM_MIXEDMAP with pfn_valid, due to their
memory model (which is more dynamic than most). Instead, they had proposed
to implement it with an additional path through vm_normal_page(), using a
bit in the pte to determine whether or not the page should be refcounted:

vm_normal_page()
{
	...
        if (unlikely(vma->vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_MIXEDMAP))) {
                if (vma->vm_flags & VM_MIXEDMAP) {
#ifdef s390
			if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
				return NULL;
#else
                        if (!pfn_valid(pfn))
                                return NULL;
#endif
                        goto out;
                }
	...
}

This is fine, however if we are allowed to use a bit in the pte to
determine refcountedness, we can use that to _completely_ replace all the
vma based schemes. So instead of adding more cases to the already complex
vma-based scheme, we can have a clearly seperate and simple pte-based scheme
(and get slightly better code generation in the process):

vm_normal_page()
{
#ifdef s390
	if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
		return NULL;
	return pte_page(pte);
#else
	...
#endif
}

And finally, we may rather make this concept usable by any architecture
rather than making it s390 only, so implement a new type of pte state
for this. Unfortunately the old vma based code must stay, because some
architectures may not be able to spare pte bits. This makes vm_normal_page
a little bit more ugly than we would like, but the 2 cases are clearly
seperate.

So introduce a pte_special pte state, and use it in mm/memory.c. It is
currently a noop for all architectures, so this doesn't actually result
in any compiled code changes to mm/memory.o.

BTW:
I haven't put vm_normal_page() into arch code as-per an earlier suggestion.
The reason is that, regardless of where vm_normal_page is actually
implemented, the *abstraction* is still exactly the same. Also, while it
depends on whether the architecture has pte_special or not, that is the
only two possible cases, and it really isn't an arch specific function --
the role of the arch code should be to provide primitive functions and
accessors with which to build the core code; pte_special does that. We do
not want architectures to know or care about vm_normal_page itself, and
we definitely don't want them being able to invent something new there
out of sight of mm/ code. If we made vm_normal_page an arch function, then
we have to make vm_insert_mixed (next patch) an arch function too. So I
don't think moving it to arch code fundamentally improves any abstractions,
while it does practically make the code more difficult to follow, for both
mm and arch developers, and easier to misuse.

[patch 3/7] mm: add vm_insert_mixed

[npiggin]

[-- Attachment #1: mm-insert_mixed.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 5522 bytes --]

vm_insert_mixed will insert either a raw pfn or a refcounted struct page
into the page tables, depending on whether vm_normal_page() will return
the page or not. With the introduction of the new pte bit, this is now
a too tricky for drivers to be doing themselves.

filemap_xip uses this in a subsequent patch.

[patch 4/7] return pfn from direct_access, for XIP

[npiggin, Jared Hulbert]

[-- Attachment #1: xip-direct_access-pfn.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 6121 bytes --]

Alter the block device ->direct_access() API to work with the new
get_xip_mem() API (that requires both kaddr and pfn are returned).

Some architectures will not do the right thing in their virt_to_page()
for use by XIP (to translate from the kernel virtual address returned
by direct_access(), to a user mappable pfn in XIP's page fault handler.

However, we can't switch it to just return the pfn and not the kaddr,
because we have no good way to get a kva from a pfn, and XIP requires
the kva for its read(2) and write(2) handlers. So we have to return
both.

[patch 5/7] xip: support non-struct page backed memory

[npiggin]

[-- Attachment #1: xip-get_xip_addr.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 17215 bytes --]

Convert XIP to support non-struct page backed memory, using VM_MIXEDMAP
for the user mappings.

This requires the get_xip_page API to be changed to an address based one.
Improve the API layering a little bit too, while we're here.

This is required in order to support XIP filesystems on memory that isn't
backed with struct page (but memory with struct page is still supported too).

[patch 6/7] s390: implement pte special bit

[npiggin]

[-- Attachment #1: s390-implement-pte_special.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1871 bytes --]

From: Carsten Otte <cotte@de.ibm.com>

Implement pte_special pte bit for s390. s390 has trouble making pfn_valid
do exactly what we'd like for VM_MIXEDMAP, because it has a very dynamic
memory model, and it would have to take a semaphore and walk a list for
each pfn_valid call. Use pte_special instead which is just a single bit
test.

[patch 7/7] s390: remove struct page entries for DCSS memory segments

[npiggin, Carsten Otte]

[-- Attachment #1: s390-remove-struct-page-entries-for-DCSS-memory-segments.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1753 bytes --]

This patch removes struct page entries for DCSS segments that are being loaded.
They can still be accessed correctly, thanks to the struct page-less XIP work
of previous patches.

It's unusual to embed the original author's From: line in the headers
like that - it is usually placed in the message body and this arrangement
might fool some people's scripts.

patch 6/7 was subtly hidden, concatenated to 5/7, but I found it.

[7/7] needs to be redone please - git-s390 makes functional changes to
add_shared_memory().

Hmm, OK. I guess either quilt or my sendmbox script messed up.

Oh? :( That came out of quilt send as well... I guess it is my
script. Thanks for untangling it.

I'll let one of the s390 folk send you a patch when they feel like
it.

Regarding the lockless get_user_pages patches... it would be nice to
get them into -mm as well. They haven't had as much review as these
patches, but at least they did survive an OLTP run at IBM, so they
should be OK to sit in -mm I think (unless you have to many clashes).

Thanks,
Nick

This patch removes struct page entries for DCSS segments that are being loaded.
They can still be accessed correctly, thanks to the struct page-less XIP work
of previous patches.

[patch 2/7] mm: introduce pte_special pte bit

[npiggin]

[-- Attachment #1: mm-normal-pte-bit.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 33862 bytes --]

s390 for one, cannot implement VM_MIXEDMAP with pfn_valid, due to their
memory model (which is more dynamic than most). Instead, they had proposed
to implement it with an additional path through vm_normal_page(), using a
bit in the pte to determine whether or not the page should be refcounted:

vm_normal_page()
{
	...
        if (unlikely(vma->vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_MIXEDMAP))) {
                if (vma->vm_flags & VM_MIXEDMAP) {
#ifdef s390
			if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
				return NULL;
#else
                        if (!pfn_valid(pfn))
                                return NULL;
#endif
                        goto out;
                }
	...
}

This is fine, however if we are allowed to use a bit in the pte to
determine refcountedness, we can use that to _completely_ replace all the
vma based schemes. So instead of adding more cases to the already complex
vma-based scheme, we can have a clearly seperate and simple pte-based scheme
(and get slightly better code generation in the process):

vm_normal_page()
{
#ifdef s390
	if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
		return NULL;
	return pte_page(pte);
#else
	...
#endif
}

And finally, we may rather make this concept usable by any architecture
rather than making it s390 only, so implement a new type of pte state
for this. Unfortunately the old vma based code must stay, because some
architectures may not be able to spare pte bits. This makes vm_normal_page
a little bit more ugly than we would like, but the 2 cases are clearly
seperate.

So introduce a pte_special pte state, and use it in mm/memory.c. It is
currently a noop for all architectures, so this doesn't actually result
in any compiled code changes to mm/memory.o.

BTW:
I haven't put vm_normal_page() into arch code as-per an earlier suggestion.
The reason is that, regardless of where vm_normal_page is actually
implemented, the *abstraction* is still exactly the same. Also, while it
depends on whether the architecture has pte_special or not, that is the
only two possible cases, and it really isn't an arch specific function --
the role of the arch code should be to provide primitive functions and
accessors with which to build the core code; pte_special does that. We do
not want architectures to know or care about vm_normal_page itself, and
we definitely don't want them being able to invent something new there
out of sight of mm/ code. If we made vm_normal_page an arch function, then
we have to make vm_insert_mixed (next patch) an arch function too. So I
don't think moving it to arch code fundamentally improves any abstractions,
while it does practically make the code more difficult to follow.

I hope this isn't going to be a big problem. I don't think it is...
