Hi all,
When unsharing hugetlb PMD page tables or collapsing pages in khugepaged,
we send two IPIs: one for TLB invalidation, and another to synchronize
with concurrent GUP-fast walkers. However, if the TLB flush already
reaches all CPUs, the second IPI is redundant. GUP-fast runs with IRQs
disabled, so when the TLB flush IPI completes, any concurrent GUP-fast
must have finished.
We now track whether IPIs were actually sent during TLB flush. We pass
the mmu_gather context through the flush path, and native_flush_tlb_multi()
sets a flag when sending IPIs. Works with PV and INVLPGB since only
native_flush_tlb_multi() sets the flag - no matter what replaces
pv_ops.mmu.flush_tlb_multi or whether INVLPGB is available.
David Hildenbrand did the initial implementation. I built on his work and
relied on off-list discussions to push it further - thanks a lot David!
v2 -> v3:
- Complete rewrite: use dynamic IPI tracking instead of static checks
(per Dave Hansen, thanks!)
- Track IPIs via mmu_gather: native_flush_tlb_multi() sets flag when
actually sending IPIs
- Motivation for skipping redundant IPIs explained by David:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/1b27a3fa-359a-43d0-bdeb-c31341749367@kernel.org/
- https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20251229145245.85452-1-lance.yang@linux.dev/
v1 -> v2:
- Fix cover letter encoding to resolve send-email issues. Apologies for
any email flood caused by the failed send attempts :(
RFC -> v1:
- Use a callback function in pv_mmu_ops instead of comparing function
pointers (per David)
- Embed the check directly in tlb_remove_table_sync_one() instead of
requiring every caller to check explicitly (per David)
- Move tlb_table_flush_implies_ipi_broadcast() outside of
CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE to fix build error on architectures
that don't enable this config.

From: Lance Yang <lance.yang@linux.dev>
When unsharing hugetlb PMD page tables, we currently send two IPIs: one
for TLB invalidation, and another to synchronize with concurrent GUP-fast
walkers via tlb_remove_table_sync_one().
However, if the TLB flush already sent IPIs to all CPUs (when freed_tables
or unshared_tables is true), the second IPI is redundant. GUP-fast runs
with IRQs disabled, so when the TLB flush IPI completes, any concurrent
GUP-fast must have finished.
To avoid the redundant IPI, we add a flag to mmu_gather to track whether
the TLB flush sent IPIs. We pass the mmu_gather pointer through the TLB
flush path via flush_tlb_info, so native_flush_tlb_multi() can set the
flag when it sends IPIs for freed_tables. We also set the flag for
local-only flushes, since disabling IRQs provides the same guarantee.

From: Lance Yang <lance.yang@linux.dev>
pmdp_collapse_flush() may already send IPIs to flush TLBs, and then
callers send another IPI via tlb_remove_table_sync_one() or
pmdp_get_lockless_sync() to synchronize with concurrent GUP-fast walkers.
However, since GUP-fast runs with IRQs disabled, the TLB flush IPI already
provides the necessary synchronization. We can avoid the redundant second
IPI.
Introduce pmdp_collapse_flush_sync() which combines flush and sync:
- For architectures using the generic pmdp_collapse_flush() implementation
(e.g., x86): Use mmu_gather to track IPI sends. If the TLB flush sent
an IPI, tlb_gather_remove_table_sync_one() will skip the redundant one.
- For architectures with custom pmdp_collapse_flush() (s390, riscv,
powerpc): Fall back to calling pmdp_collapse_flush() followed by
tlb_remove_table_sync_one(). No behavior change.
Update khugepaged to use pmdp_collapse_flush_sync() instead of separate
flush and sync calls. Remove the now-unused pmdp_get_lockless_sync() macro.
