mm: memory: add orig_pmd to struct vm_fault
Pach series "mm: thp: use generic THP migration for NUMA hinting fault", v3. When the THP NUMA fault support was added THP migration was not supported yet. So the ad hoc THP migration was implemented in NUMA fault handling. Since v4.14 THP migration has been supported so it doesn't make too much sense to still keep another THP migration implementation rather than using the generic migration code. It is definitely a maintenance burden to keep two THP migration implementation for different code paths and it is more error prone. Using the generic THP migration implementation allows us remove the duplicate code and some hacks needed by the old ad hoc implementation. A quick grep shows x86_64, PowerPC (book3s), ARM64 ans S390 support both THP and NUMA balancing. The most of them support THP migration except for S390. Zi Yan tried to add THP migration support for S390 before but it was not accepted due to the design of S390 PMD. For the discussion, please see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/27/953. Per the discussion with Gerald Schaefer in v1 it is acceptible to skip huge PMD for S390 for now. I saw there were some hacks about gup from git history, but I didn't figure out if they have been removed or not since I just found FOLL_NUMA code in the current gup implementation and they seems useful. Patch #1 ~ #2 are preparation patches. Patch #3 is the real meat. Patch #4 ~ #6 keep consistent counters and behaviors with before. Patch #7 skips change huge PMD to prot_none if thp migration is not supported. Test ---- Did some tests to measure the latency of do_huge_pmd_numa_page. The test VM has 80 vcpus and 64G memory. The test would create 2 processes to consume 128G memory together which would incur memory pressure to cause THP splits. And it also creates 80 processes to hog cpu, and the memory consumer processes are bound to different nodes periodically in order to increase NUMA faults. The below test script is used: echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches # Run stress-ng for 24 hours ./stress-ng/stress-ng --vm 2 --vm-bytes 64G --timeout 24h & PID=$! ./stress-ng/stress-ng --cpu $NR_CPUS --timeout 24h & # Wait for vm stressors forked sleep 5 PID_1=`pgrep -P $PID | awk 'NR == 1'` PID_2=`pgrep -P $PID | awk 'NR == 2'` JOB1=`pgrep -P $PID_1` JOB2=`pgrep -P $PID_2` # Bind load jobs to different nodes periodically to force generate # cross node memory access while [ -d "/proc/$PID" ] do taskset -apc 8 $JOB1 taskset -apc 8 $JOB2 sleep 300 taskset -apc 58 $JOB1 taskset -apc 58 $JOB2 sleep 300 done With the above test the histogram of latency of do_huge_pmd_numa_page is as shown below. Since the number of do_huge_pmd_numa_page varies drastically for each run (should be due to scheduler), so I converted the raw number to percentage. patched base @us[stress-ng]: [0] 3.57% 0.16% [1] 55.68% 18.36% [2, 4) 10.46% 40.44% [4, 8) 7.26% 17.82% [8, 16) 21.12% 13.41% [16, 32) 1.06% 4.27% [32, 64) 0.56% 4.07% [64, 128) 0.16% 0.35% [128, 256) < 0.1% < 0.1% [256, 512) < 0.1% < 0.1% [512, 1K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [1K, 2K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [2K, 4K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [4K, 8K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [8K, 16K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [16K, 32K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [32K, 64K) < 0.1% < 0.1% Per the result, patched kernel is even slightly better than the base kernel. I think this is because the lock contention against THP split is less than base kernel due to the refactor. To exclude the affect from THP split, I also did test w/o memory pressure. No obvious regression is spotted. The below is the test result *w/o* memory pressure. patched base @us[stress-ng]: [0] 7.97% 18.4% [1] 69.63% 58.24% [2, 4) 4.18% 2.63% [4, 8) 0.22% 0.17% [8, 16) 1.03% 0.92% [16, 32) 0.14% < 0.1% [32, 64) < 0.1% < 0.1% [64, 128) < 0.1% < 0.1% [128, 256) < 0.1% < 0.1% [256, 512) 0.45% 1.19% [512, 1K) 15.45% 17.27% [1K, 2K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [2K, 4K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [4K, 8K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [8K, 16K) 0.86% 0.88% [16K, 32K) < 0.1% 0.15% [32K, 64K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [64K, 128K) < 0.1% < 0.1% [128K, 256K) < 0.1% < 0.1% The series also survived a series of tests that exercise NUMA balancing migrations by Mel. This patch (of 7): Add orig_pmd to struct vm_fault so the "orig_pmd" parameter used by huge page fault could be removed, just like its PTE counterpart does.
