Subject: [PATCH v1 10/15] mm/page-flags: reuse PG_slab as PG_anon_exclusive for PageAnon() pages

The basic question we would like to have a reliable and efficient answer
to is: is this anonymous page exclusive to a single process or might it
be shared?

In an ideal world, we'd have a spare pageflag. Unfortunately, pageflags
don't grow on trees, so we have to get a little creative for the time
being.

Introduce a way to mark an anonymous page as exclusive, with the
ultimate goal of teaching our COW logic to not do "wrong COWs", whereby
GUP pins lose consistency with the pages mapped into the page table,
resulting in reported memory corruptions.

Most pageflags already have semantics for anonymous pages, so we're left
with reusing PG_slab for our purpose: for PageAnon() pages PG_slab now
translates to PG_anon_exclusive, teach some in-kernel code that manually
handles PG_slab about that.

Add a spoiler on the semantics of PG_anon_exclusive as documentation. More
documentation will be contained in the code that actually makes use of
PG_anon_exclusive.

We won't be clearing PG_anon_exclusive on destructive unmapping (i.e.,
zapping) of page table entries, page freeing code will handle that when
also invalidate page->mapping to not indicate PageAnon() anymore.
Letting information about exclusivity stick around will be an important
property when adding sanity checks to unpinning code.

RFC notes: in-tree tools/cgroup/memcg_slabinfo.py looks like it might need
	   some care. We'd have to lookup the head page and check if
	   PageAnon() is set. Similarly, tools living outside the kernel
	   repository like crash and makedumpfile might need adaptions.

+	 * Depending on the way an anonymous folio can be mapped into a page
+	 * table (e.g., single PMD/PUD/CONT of the head page vs. PTE-mapped
+	 * THP), PG_anon_exclusive may be set only for the head page or for
+	 * subpages of an anonymous folio.
+	 *
+	 * PG_anon_exclusive is *usually* only expressive in combination with a
+	 * page table entry. Depending on the page table entry type it might
+	 * store the following information:
+	 *
+	 *	Is what's mapped via this page table entry exclusive to the
+	 *	single process and can be mapped writable without further
+	 *	checks? If not, it might be shared and we might have to COW.
+	 *
+	 * For now, we only expect PTE-mapped THPs to make use of
+	 * PG_anon_exclusive in subpages. For other anonymous compound
+	 * folios (i.e., hugetlb), only the head page is logically mapped and
+	 * holds this information.
+	 *
+	 * For example, an exclusive, PMD-mapped THP only has PG_anon_exclusive
+	 * set on the head page. When replacing the PMD by a page table full
+	 * of PTEs, PG_anon_exclusive, if set on the head page, will be set on
+	 * all tail pages accordingly. Note that converting from a PTE-mapping
+	 * to a PMD mapping using the same compound page is currently not
+	 * possible and consequently doesn't require care.
+	 *
+	 * If GUP wants to take a reliable pin (FOLL_PIN) on an anonymous page,
+	 * it should only pin if the relevant PG_anon_bit is set. In that case,
+	 * the pin will be fully reliable and stay consistent with the pages
+	 * mapped into the page table, as the bit cannot get cleared (e.g., by
+	 * fork(), KSM) while the page is pinned. For anonymous pages that
+	 * are mapped R/W, PG_anon_exclusive can be assumed to always be set
+	 * because such pages cannot possibly be shared.
+	 *
+	 * The page table lock protecting the page table entry is the primary
+	 * synchronization mechanism for PG_anon_exclusive; GUP-fast that does
+	 * not take the PT lock needs special care when trying to clear the
+	 * flag.
+	 *
+	 * Page table entry types and PG_anon_exclusive:
+	 * * Present: PG_anon_exclusive applies.
+	 * * Swap: the information is lost. PG_anon_exclusive was cleared.
+	 * * Migration: the entry holds this information instead.
+	 *		PG_anon_exclusive was cleared.
+	 * * Device private: PG_anon_exclusive applies.
+	 * * Device exclusive: PG_anon_exclusive applies.
+	 * * HW Poison: PG_anon_exclusive is stale and not changed.
+	 *
+	 * If the page may be pinned (FOLL_PIN), clearing PG_anon_exclusive is
+	 * not allowed and the flag will stick around until the page is freed
+	 * and folio->mapping is cleared.
+	 *
