Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] mm/madvise: introduce MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) to prefault page tables
I. Background: Sparse Memory Mappings
When we manage sparse memory mappings dynamically in user space - also
sometimes involving MAP_NORESERVE - we want to dynamically populate/
discard memory inside such a sparse memory region. Example users are
hypervisors (especially implementing memory ballooning or similar
technologies like virtio-mem) and memory allocators. In addition, we want
to fail in a nice way (instead of generating SIGBUS) if populating does not
succeed because we are out of backend memory (which can happen easily with
file-based mappings, especially tmpfs and hugetlbfs).
While MADV_DONTNEED, MADV_REMOVE and FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE allow for
reliably discarding memory for most mapping types, there is no generic
approach to populate page tables and preallocate memory.
Although mmap() supports MAP_POPULATE, it is not applicable to the concept
of sparse memory mappings, where we want to populate/discard
dynamically and avoid expensive/problematic remappings. In addition,
we never actually report errors during the final populate phase - it is
best-effort only.
fallocate() can be used to preallocate file-based memory and fail in a safe
way. However, it cannot really be used for any private mappings on
anonymous files via memfd due to COW semantics. In addition, fallocate()
does not actually populate page tables, so we still always get
pagefaults on first access - which is sometimes undesired (i.e., real-time
workloads) and requires real prefaulting of page tables, not just a
preallocation of backend storage. There might be interesting use cases
for sparse memory regions along with mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) which
fallocate() cannot satisfy as it does not prefault page tables.
II. On preallcoation/prefaulting from user space
Because we don't have a proper interface, what applications
(like QEMU and databases) end up doing is touching (i.e., reading+writing
one byte to not overwrite existing data) all individual pages.
However, that approach
1) Can result in wear on storage backing, because we end up reading/writing
each page; this is especially a problem for dax/pmem.
2) Can result in mmap_sem contention when prefaulting via multiple
threads.
3) Requires expensive signal handling, especially to catch SIGBUS in case
of hugetlbfs/shmem/file-backed memory. For example, this is
problematic in hypervisors like QEMU where SIGBUS handlers might already
be used by other subsystems concurrently to e.g, handle hardware errors.
"Simply" doing preallocation concurrently from other thread is not that
easy.
III. On MADV_WILLNEED
Extending MADV_WILLNEED is not an option because
1. It would change the semantics: "Expect access in the near future." and
"might be a good idea to read some pages" vs. "Definitely populate/
preallocate all memory and definitely fail on errors.".
2. Existing users (like virtio-balloon in QEMU when deflating the balloon)
don't want populate/prealloc semantics. They treat this rather as a hint
to give a little performance boost without too much overhead - and don't
expect that a lot of memory might get consumed or a lot of time
might be spent.
IV. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE
Let's introduce MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE, inspired by
MAP_POPULATE, with the following semantics:
1. MADV_POPULATE_READ can be used to prefault page tables just like
manually reading each individual page. This will not break any COW
mappings. The shared zero page might get mapped and no backend storage
might get preallocated -- allocation might be deferred to
write-fault time. Especially shared file mappings require an explicit
fallocate() upfront to actually preallocate backend memory (blocks in
the file system) in case the file might have holes.
2. If MADV_POPULATE_READ succeeds, all page tables have been populated
(prefaulted) readable once.
3. MADV_POPULATE_WRITE can be used to preallocate backend memory and
prefault page tables just like manually writing (or
reading+writing) each individual page. This will break any COW
mappings -- e.g., the shared zeropage is never populated.
4. If MADV_POPULATE_WRITE succeeds, all page tables have been populated
(prefaulted) writable once.
5. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE cannot be applied to special
mappings marked with VM_PFNMAP and VM_IO. Also, proper access
permissions (e.g., PROT_READ, PROT_WRITE) are required. If any such
mapping is encountered, madvise() fails with -EINVAL.
6. If MADV_POPULATE_READ or MADV_POPULATE_WRITE fails, some page tables
might have been populated.
7. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE will return -EHWPOISON
when encountering a HW poisoned page in the range.
8. Similar to MAP_POPULATE, MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE
cannot protect from the OOM (Out Of Memory) handler killing the
process.
While the use case for MADV_POPULATE_WRITE is fairly obvious (i.e.,
preallocate memory and prefault page tables for VMs), one issue is that
whenever we prefault pages writable, the pages have to be marked dirty,
because the CPU could dirty them any time. while not a real problem for
hugetlbfs or dax/pmem, it can be a problem for shared file mappings: each
page will be marked dirty and has to be written back later when evicting.
MADV_POPULATE_READ allows for optimizing this scenario: Pre-read a whole
mapping from backend storage without marking it dirty, such that eviction
won't have to write it back. As discussed above, shared file mappings
might require an explciit fallocate() upfront to achieve
preallcoation+prepopulation.
Although sparse memory mappings are the primary use case, this will
also be useful for other preallocate/prefault use cases where MAP_POPULATE
is not desired or the semantics of MAP_POPULATE are not sufficient: as one
example, QEMU users can trigger preallocation/prefaulting of guest RAM
after the mapping was created -- and don't want errors to be silently
suppressed.
Looking at the history, MADV_POPULATE was already proposed in 2013 [1],
however, the main motivation back than was performance improvements
-- which should also still be the case.
V. Single-threaded performance comparison
I did a short experiment, prefaulting page tables on completely *empty
mappings/files* and repeated the experiment 10 times. The results
correspond to the shortest execution time. In general, the performance
benefit for huge pages is negligible with small mappings.
V.1: Private mappings
POPULATE_READ and POPULATE_WRITE is fastest. Note that
Reading/POPULATE_READ will populate the shared zeropage where applicable
-- which result in short population times.
The fastest way to allocate backend storage (here: swap or huge pages)
and prefault page tables is POPULATE_WRITE.
V.2: Shared mappings
fallocate() is fastest, however, doesn't prefault
page tables. POPULATE_WRITE is faster than simple writes and read/writes.
POPULATE_READ is faster than simple reads.
Without a fd, the fastest way to allocate backend storage and prefault page
tables is POPULATE_WRITE. With an fd, the fastest way is usually
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ or FALLOCATE+POPULATE_WRITE respectively; one
exception are actual files: FALLOCATE+Read is slightly faster than
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ.
The fastest way to allocate backend storage prefault page tables is
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_WRITE -- except when dealing with actual files; then,
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ is fastest and won't directly mark all pages as
dirty.
