Subject: [PATCH v3] mm/thp: fix "mm: thp: kill __transhuge_page_enabled()"
Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2023 16:48:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230821234844.699818-1-zokeefe@google.com> (raw)

The 6.0 commits:

commit 9fec51689ff6 ("mm: thp: kill transparent_hugepage_active()")
commit 7da4e2cb8b1f ("mm: thp: kill __transhuge_page_enabled()")

merged "can we have THPs in this VMA?" logic that was previously done
separately by fault-path, khugepaged, and smaps "THPeligible" checks.

During the process, the semantics of the fault path check changed in two
ways:

1) A VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED check was introduced (also added to smaps path).
2) We no longer checked if non-anonymous memory had a vm_ops->huge_fault
   handler that could satisfy the fault.  Previously, this check had been
   done in create_huge_pud() and create_huge_pmd() routines, but after
   the changes, we never reach those routines.

During the review of the above commits, it was determined that in-tree
users weren't affected by the change; most notably, since the only relevant
user (in terms of THP) of VM_MIXEDMAP or ->huge_fault is DAX, which is
explicitly approved early in approval logic.  However, there is at least
one occurrence where an out-of-tree driver that used
VM_HUGEPAGE|VM_MIXEDMAP with a vm_ops->huge_fault handler, was broken.

Remove the VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED check when not in collapse path and give
any ->huge_fault handler a chance to handle the fault.  Note that we
don't validate the file mode or mapping alignment, which is consistent
with the behavior before the aforementioned commits.

Fixes: 7da4e2cb8b1f ("mm: thp: kill __transhuge_page_enabled()")

Changed from v2[1]:
	- Fixed false negative in smaps check when !dax && ->huge_fault
Changed from v1[2]:
	- [Saurabhi] Allow ->huge_fault handler to handle fault, if it exists

There are some logical holes in smaps' THPeligible checks here, but those
are best dealt with in follow-up patches.  For now, just make sure the
fault path is dealt with.
