Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 00/30] 1GB PUD THP support on x86_64
From: Zi Yan <ziy@...dia.com>
Hi all,
This patchset adds support for 1GB PUD THP on x86_64. It is on top of
v5.9-rc5-mmots-2020-09-18-21-23. It is also available at:
https://github.com/x-y-z/linux-1gb-thp/tree/1gb_thp_v5.9-rc5-mmots-2020-09-18-21-23
Other than PUD THP, we had some discussion on generating THPs and contiguous
physical memory via a synchronous system call [0]. I am planning to send out a
separate patchset on it later, since I feel that it can be done independently of
PUD THP support.
Any comment or suggestion is welcome. Thanks.
Motiation
====
The patchset is trying to provide a more transparent way of boosting virtual
memory performance by leveraging gigantic TLB entries compared to hugetlbfs
pages [1,2]. Roman also said he would provide performance numbers of using 1GB
PUD THP once the patchset is a relatively good shape [1].
Patchset organization:
====
1. Patch 1 and 2: Jason's PUD entry READ_ONCE patch to walk_page_range to give
a consistent read of PUD entries during lockless page table walks.
I also add PMD entry READ_ONCE patch, since PMD level walk_page_range has
the same lockless behavior as PUD level.
2. Patch 3: THP page table deposit now use single linked list to enable
hierarchical page table deposit, i.e., deposit a PMD page where 512 PTE pages
are deposited to. Every page table page has a deposit_head and a deposit_node.
For example, when storing 512 PTE pages to a PMD page, PMD page's deposit_head
links to a PTE page's deposit_node, which links to another PTE page's
deposit_node.
3. Patch 4,5,6: helper functions for allocating page table pages for PUD THPs
and change thp_order and thp_nr.
4. Patch 7 to 23: PUD THP implementation. It is broken into small patches for
easy review.
5. Patch 24, 25: new page size encoding for MADV_HUGEPAGE and MADV_NOHUGEPAGE in
madvise. User can specify THP size. Only MADV_HUGEPAGE_1GB is used accepted.
VM_HUGEPAGE_PUD is added to vm_flags to store the information at big 37.
You are welcome to suggest any other approach.
6. Patch 26, 27: enable_pud_thp and hpage_pud_size are added to
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/. enable_pud_thp is set to never by
default.
7. Patch 28, 29: PUD THPs are allocated only from boot-time reserved CMA regions.
The CMA regions can be used for other moveable page allocations.
Design for PUD-, PMD-, and PTE-mapped PUD THP
====
One additional design compared to PMD THP is the support for PMD-mapped PUD THP,
since original THP design supports PUD-mapped and PTE-mapped PUD THP
automatically.
PMD mapcounts are stored at (512*N + 3) subpages (N = 0 to 511) and 512*N
subpages are called PMDPageInPUD. A PUDDoubleMap bit is stored at third
subpage of a PUD THP, using the same page flag position as DoubleMap (stored
at second subpage of a PMD THP), to indicate a PUD THP with both PUD and
PMD mappings.
A PUD THP looks like:
┌───┬───┬───┬───┬─────┬───┬───┬───┬───┬────────┬──────┐
│ H │ T │ T │ T │ ... │ T │ T │ T │ T │ ... │ T │
│ 0 │ 1 │ 2 │ 3 │ │512│513│514│515│ │262143│
└───┴───┴───┴───┴─────┴───┴───┴───┴───┴────────┴──────┘
PMDPageInPUD pages in a PUD THP (only show first two PMDPageInPUD pages below).
Note that PMDPageInPUD pages are identified by their relative position to the
head page of the PUD THP and are still tail pages except the first one,
so H_0, T_512, T_1024, ... T_512x511 are all PMDPageInPUD pages:
┌────────────┬──────────────┬────────────┬──────────────┬───────────────────┐
│PMDPageInPUD│ ... │PMDPageInPUD│ ... │ the remaining │
│ page │ 511 subpages │ page │ 511 subpages │ 510x512 subpages │
└────────────┴──────────────┴────────────┴──────────────┴───────────────────┘
Mapcount positions:
* For each subpage, its PTE mapcount is _mapcount, the same as PMD THP.
* For PUD THP, its PUD-mapping uses compound_mapcount at T_1 the same as PMD THP.
* For PMD-mapped PUD THP, its PMD-mapping uses compound_mapcount at T_3, T_515,
..., T_512x511+3. It is called sub_compound_mapcount.
PUDDoubleMap and DoubleMap in PUD THP:
* PUDDoubleMap is stored at the page flag of T_2 (third subpage), reusing the
DoubleMap's position.
* DoubleMap is stored at the page flags of T_1 (second subpage), T_513, ...,
T_512x511+1.

Changelog from RFC v1
====
1. Add Jason's PUD entry READ_ONCE patch and my PMD entry READ_ONCE patch to
get consistent page table entry reading in lockless page table walks.
2. Use single linked list for page table page deposit instead of pagechain
data structure from RFC v1.
3. Address Kirill's comments.
4. Remove PUD page allocation via alloc_contig_pages(), using cma_alloc only.
5. Add madvise flag MADV_HUGEPAGE_1GB to explicitly enable PUD THP on specific
VMAs instead of reusing MADV_HUGEPAGE. A new vm_flags VM_HUGEPAGE_PUD is
added to achieve this.
6. Break large patches in v1 into small ones for easy review.
