[PATCH 7.2 v16 00/13] khugepaged: mTHP support

[PATCH 7.2 v16 00/13] khugepaged: mTHP support

[Nico Pache]

The following series provides khugepaged with the capability to collapse
anonymous memory regions to mTHPs.

To achieve this we generalize the khugepaged functions to no longer depend
on PMD_ORDER. Then during the PMD scan, we use a bitmap to track individual
pages that are occupied (!none/zero). After the PMD scan is done, we use
the bitmap to find the optimal mTHP sizes for the PMD range. The
restriction on max_ptes_none is removed during the scan, to make sure we
account for the whole PMD range in the bitmap. When no mTHP size is
enabled, the legacy behavior of khugepaged is maintained.

We currently only support max_ptes_none values of 0 or HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1
(ie 511). If any other value is specified, the kernel will emit a warning
and no mTHP collapse will be attempted. If a mTHP collapse is attempted,
but contains swapped out, or shared pages, we don't perform the collapse.
It is now also possible to collapse to mTHPs without requiring the PMD THP
size to be enabled. These limitations are to prevent collapse "creep"
behavior. This prevents constantly promoting mTHPs to the next available
size, which would occur because a collapse introduces more non-zero pages
that would satisfy the promotion condition on subsequent scans.


Patch 1-2:   Generalize hugepage_vma_revalidate and alloc_charge_folio
	     for arbitrary orders.
Patch 3:     Rework max_ptes_* handling into helper functions
Patch 4-5:   Generalize __collapse_huge_page_* and collapse_huge_page
Patch 6:     Skip collapsing mTHP to smaller orders
Patch 7-8:   Add per-order mTHP statistics and tracepoints
Patch 9:     Introduce collapse_allowable_orders helper function
Patch 10-12: Introduce bitmap and mTHP collapse support, fully enabled
Patch 13:    Documentation

Testing:
- Built for x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le, and s390x
- ran all arches on test suites provided by the kernel-tests project
- internal testing suites: functional testing and performance testing
- selftests mm
- I created a test script that I used to push khugepaged to its limits
   while monitoring a number of stats and tracepoints. The code is
   available here[1] (Run in legacy mode for these changes and set mthp
   sizes to inherit)
   The summary from my testings was that there was no significant
   regression noticed through this test. In some cases my changes had
   better collapse latencies, and was able to scan more pages in the same
   amount of time/work, but for the most part the results were consistent.
- redis testing. I did some testing with these changes along with my defer
  changes (see followup [2] post for more details). We've decided to get
  the mTHP changes merged first before attempting the defer series.
- some basic testing on 64k page size.
- lots of general use.

V16 Changes:
- This was quite the respin, so hopefully everything is ok! I dropped
  some acks/rb on patches that changed significantly. Major changes
  are related to the locking cleanup in collapse_huge_page().
  sorry if i missed any feedback there was quite a bit of minor requests
- New cleanup patch: introduce collapse_max_ptes_none/shared/swap()
  helpers, absorbing madvise_collapse special-casing (David)
- Merge "introduce collapse_max_ptes_none helper" into the generalize
  __collapse_huge_page_* patch, dropping the separate patch (David)
- Simplify collapse_huge_page() locking: move mmap_read_unlock() to
  caller, remove mmap_locked tracking parameter entirely (Lorenzo)
- Use enum tva_type instead of bool is_khugepaged in
  collapse_allowable_orders() (David, Lorenzo)
- collapse_allowable_orders() takes (vma, tva_flags), accesses
  vma->vm_flags internally (Lorenzo)
- Rename mthp_* functions to collapse_mthp_* prefix (David, Lorenzo)
- Use MAX_PTRS_PER_PTE consistently for bitmap ops (Lorenzo)
- Downgrade BUG_ON() to WARN_ON_ONCE() in collapse_huge_page() (Lorenzo)
- Add /*expect_anon=*/true annotation to revalidate calls (Lorenzo)
- Pull common spin_lock + WARN_ON_ONCE out of PMD/mTHP branch (Lorenzo)
- Fix pteval declaration style; use end_addr variable (Lorenzo)
- Use ternary for result assignment in collapse_scan_pmd() (Lorenzo)
- Improve anon_vma locking comment for mTHP case (Lorenzo)
- Document why skip-smaller-order isn't done in scan phase (David)
- Make documentation of max_ptes_none mTHP behavior (only 0 and
  HPAGE_PMD_NR-1 supported) in admin guide more apparent. (David, Lorenzo)
- Collect new Acks/RB tags from v15 review

[PATCH 7.2 v16 01/13] mm/khugepaged: generalize hugepage_vma_revalidate for mTHP support

[Nico Pache]

For khugepaged to support different mTHP orders, we must generalize this
to check if the PMD is not shared by another VMA and that the order is
enabled.

No functional change in this patch. Also correct a comment about the
functionality of the revalidation and fix a double space issues.

[PATCH 7.2 v16 03/13] mm/khugepaged: rework max_ptes_* handling with helper functions

[Nico Pache]

The following cleanup reworks all the max_ptes_* handling into helper
functions. This increases the code readability and will later be used to
implement the mTHP handling of these variables.

With these changes we abstract all the madvise_collapse() special casing
(dont respect the sysctls) away from the functions that utilize them. And
will later in this series to cleanly restrict mTHP collapses behaviors.

[PATCH 7.2 v16 04/13] mm/khugepaged: generalize __collapse_huge_page_* for mTHP support

[Nico Pache]

generalize the order of the __collapse_huge_page_* and collapse_max_*
functions to support future mTHP collapse.

The current mechanism for determining collapse with the
khugepaged_max_ptes_none value is not designed with mTHP in mind. This
raises a key design issue: if we support user defined max_pte_none values
(even those scaled by order), a collapse of a lower order can introduces
an feedback loop, or "creep", when max_ptes_none is set to a value greater
than HPAGE_PMD_NR / 2.

With this configuration, a successful collapse to order N will populate
enough pages to satisfy the collapse condition on order N+1 on the next
scan. This leads to unnecessary work and memory churn.

To fix this issue introduce a helper function that will limit mTHP
collapse support to two max_ptes_none values, 0 and HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1.
This effectively supports two modes:

- max_ptes_none=0: never introduce new none-pages for mTHP collapse.
- max_ptes_none=511 (on 4k pagesz): Always collapse to the highest
  available mTHP order.

This removes the possiblilty of "creep", while not modifying any uAPI
expectations. A warning will be emitted if any non-supported
max_ptes_none value is configured with mTHP enabled.

mTHP collapse will not honor the khugepaged_max_ptes_shared or
khugepaged_max_ptes_swap parameters, and will fail if it encounters a
shared or swapped entry.

No functional changes in this patch; however it defines future behavior
for mTHP collapse.

[PATCH 7.2 v16 05/13] mm/khugepaged: generalize collapse_huge_page for mTHP collapse

[Nico Pache]

Pass an order and offset to collapse_huge_page to support collapsing anon
memory to arbitrary orders within a PMD. order indicates what mTHP size we
are attempting to collapse to, and offset indicates were in the PMD to
start the collapse attempt.

For non-PMD collapse we must leave the anon VMA write locked until after
we collapse the mTHP-- in the PMD case all the pages are isolated, but in
the mTHP case this is not true, and we must keep the lock to prevent
access/changes to the page tables. This can happen if the rmap walkers hit
a pmd_none while the PMD entry is currently unavailable due to being
temporarily removed during the collapse phase.

[PATCH 7.2 v16 06/13] mm/khugepaged: skip collapsing mTHP to smaller orders

[Nico Pache]

khugepaged may try to collapse a mTHP to a smaller mTHP, resulting in
some pages being unmapped. Skip these cases until we have a way to check
if its ok to collapse to a smaller mTHP size (like in the case of a
partially mapped folio). This check is also not done during the scan phase
as the current collapse order is unknown at that time.

This patch is inspired by Dev Jain's work on khugepaged mTHP support [1].

[PATCH 7.2 v16 07/13] mm/khugepaged: add per-order mTHP collapse failure statistics

[Nico Pache]

Add three new mTHP statistics to track collapse failures for different
orders when encountering swap PTEs, excessive none PTEs, and shared PTEs:

- collapse_exceed_swap_pte: Increment when mTHP collapse fails due to swap
	PTEs

- collapse_exceed_none_pte: Counts when mTHP collapse fails due to
  	exceeding the none PTE threshold for the given order

- collapse_exceed_shared_pte: Counts when mTHP collapse fails due to shared
  	PTEs

These statistics complement the existing THP_SCAN_EXCEED_* events by
providing per-order granularity for mTHP collapse attempts. The stats are
exposed via sysfs under
`/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-*/stats/` for each
supported hugepage size.

As we currently dont support collapsing mTHPs that contain a swap or
shared entry, those statistics keep track of how often we are
encountering failed mTHP collapses due to these restrictions.

Now that we plan to support mTHP collapse for anon pages, lets also track
when this happens at the PMD level within the per-mTHP stats.

[PATCH 7.2 v16 09/13] mm/khugepaged: introduce collapse_allowable_orders helper function

[Nico Pache]

Add collapse_allowable_orders() to generalize THP order eligibility. The
function determines which THP orders are permitted based on collapse
context (khugepaged vs madv_collapse).

This consolidates collapse configuration logic and provides a clean
interface for future mTHP collapse support where the orders may be
different.

[PATCH 7.2 v16 10/13] mm/khugepaged: Introduce mTHP collapse support

[Nico Pache]

Enable khugepaged to collapse to mTHP orders. This patch implements the
main scanning logic using a bitmap to track occupied pages and a stack
structure that allows us to find optimal collapse sizes.

Previous to this patch, PMD collapse had 3 main phases, a light weight
scanning phase (mmap_read_lock) that determines a potential PMD
collapse, an alloc phase (mmap unlocked), then finally heavier collapse
phase (mmap_write_lock).

To enabled mTHP collapse we make the following changes:

During PMD scan phase, track occupied pages in a bitmap. When mTHP
orders are enabled, we remove the restriction of max_ptes_none during the
scan phase to avoid missing potential mTHP collapse candidates. Once we
have scanned the full PMD range and updated the bitmap to track occupied
pages, we use the bitmap to find the optimal mTHP size.

Implement collapse_scan_bitmap() to perform binary recursion on the bitmap
and determine the best eligible order for the collapse. A stack structure
is used instead of traditional recursion to manage the search. This also
prevents a traditional recursive approach when the kernel stack struct is
limited. The algorithm recursively splits the bitmap into smaller chunks to
find the highest order mTHPs that satisfy the collapse criteria. We start
by attempting the PMD order, then moved on the consecutively lower orders
(mTHP collapse). The stack maintains a pair of variables (offset, order),
indicating the number of PTEs from the start of the PMD, and the order of
the potential collapse candidate.

The algorithm for consuming the bitmap works as such:
    1) push (0, HPAGE_PMD_ORDER) onto the stack
    2) pop the stack
    3) check if the number of set bits in that (offset,order) pair
       statisfy the max_ptes_none threshold for that order
    4) if yes, attempt collapse
    5) if no (or collapse fails), push two new stack items representing
       the left and right halves of the current bitmap range, at the
       next lower order
    6) repeat at step (2) until stack is empty.

Below is a diagram representing the algorithm and stack items:

                            offset   mid_offset
                            |        |
                            |        |
                            v        v
          ____________________________________
         |          PTE Page Table            |
         --------------------------------------
			    <-------><------->
                             order-1  order-1

mTHP collapses reject regions containing swapped out or shared pages.
This is because adding new entries can lead to new none pages, and these
may lead to constant promotion into a higher order mTHP. A similar
issue can occur with "max_ptes_none > HPAGE_PMD_NR/2" due to a collapse
introducing at least 2x the number of pages, and on a future scan will
satisfy the promotion condition once again. This issue is prevented via
the collapse_max_ptes_none() function which imposes the max_ptes_none
restrictions above.

We currently only support mTHP collapse for max_ptes_none values of 0
and HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1. resulting in the following behavior:

    - max_ptes_none=0: Never introduce new empty pages during collapse
    - max_ptes_none=HPAGE_PMD_NR-1: Always try collapse to the highest
      available mTHP order

Any other max_ptes_none value will emit a warning and skip mTHP collapse
attempts. There should be no behavior change for PMD collapse.

Once we determine what mTHP sizes fits best in that PMD range a collapse
is attempted. A minimum collapse order of 2 is used as this is the lowest
order supported by anon memory as defined by THP_ORDERS_ALL_ANON.

Currently madv_collapse is not supported and will only attempt PMD
collapse.

We can also remove the check for is_khugepaged inside the PMD scan as
the collapse_max_ptes_none() function handles this logic now.

[PATCH 7.2 v16 11/13] mm/khugepaged: avoid unnecessary mTHP collapse attempts

[Nico Pache]

There are cases where, if an attempted collapse fails, all subsequent
orders are guaranteed to also fail. Avoid these collapse attempts by
bailing out early.

[PATCH 7.2 v16 12/13] mm/khugepaged: run khugepaged for all orders

[Nico Pache]

From: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com>

If any order (m)THP is enabled we should allow running khugepaged to
attempt scanning and collapsing mTHPs. In order for khugepaged to operate
when only mTHP sizes are specified in sysfs, we must modify the predicate
function that determines whether it ought to run to do so.

This function is currently called hugepage_pmd_enabled(), this patch
renames it to hugepage_enabled() and updates the logic to check to
determine whether any valid orders may exist which would justify
khugepaged running.

We must also update collapse_allowable_orders() to check all orders if
the vma is anonymous and the collapse is khugepaged.

After this patch khugepaged mTHP collapse is fully enabled.

[PATCH 7.2 v16 13/13] Documentation: mm: update the admin guide for mTHP collapse

[Nico Pache]

Now that we can collapse to mTHPs lets update the admin guide to
reflect these changes and provide proper guidance on how to utilize it.
