This is a revised edition of the hugetlb demand page patches by
Kenneth Chen which were discussed in the following thread in August 2004
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=109171285000004&r=1&w=2
The initial post by Ken was in April in
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ia64&m=108189860401704&w=2
Hugetlb demand paging has been part of the production release of SuSE SLES
9 for awhile now (used by such products as Oracle) and this patchset is
intended to help hugetlb demand paging also get into the official Linux kernel.
This first version of the patchset is a collection of the patches from the
above mentioned thread in August. The key unresolved issue in that thread was
the necessity of using update_cache_mmu after setting up a huge pte.
update_cache_mmu is intended to update the mmu cache for a PAGESIZE page and
not for a huge page. The solution adopted here (as already suggested as
a possible solution in that thread) is to require an extension of
the semantics of set_huge_pte: set_huge_pte() must also do for huge pages
what update_cache_mmu does for PAGESIZE pages. For that purpose an additional
address parameter was added to set_huge_pte() which will conviently break
any old code. The patch included hopefully already fixes all occurrences
of set_huge_pte.
A linux-2.6.9-bk5 kernel with this patchset was build on IA64 and successfully
tested using a performance test program for hugetlb pages.
Note that this is the first patchset and is to be seen as discussion basis.
not as a final patchset. Please review these patches.
The patchset consists of 4 patches.
1/4 Demand Paging patch. This is the base and is mostly Ken's original work
plus a fix that was posted later.
2/4 set_huge_pte update. This updates the set_huge_pte function for all
architectures and insures that the arch specific action for
update_mmu_cache is taken (which may be do nothing for some arches).
Please verify that this really addresses the issues for each arch
and that it is complete.
3/4 Overcommit patch: Mostly the original work by Ken plus a fix that he
posted later.
4/4 Numa patch: Work by Raymund Bryant and myself at SGI to make
the huge page allocator try to allocate local memory instead always
starting at node zero. This definitely needs to be more sophisticated.
Patches 1 to 3 must be applied together. The Numa patch is optional.
Changelog
* Update set_huge_pte throughout all arches
* set_huge_pte has an additional address argument
* set_huge_pte must also do what update_mmu_cache typically does
for PAGESIZE ptes.

Are you sure about this? Looked flawed to me. Logical node number

What's described above is not what the patch implements. The patch is
calling update_mmu_cache() in a loop on all the virtual base pages of a
virtual hugepage, which won't help at all, as it doesn't understand how
to find the hugepages regardless of virtual address. AFAICT code to
actually do the equivalent of update_mmu_cache() on hugepages most
likely involves privileged instructions and perhaps digging around some
cpu-specific data structures (e.g. the natively architected pagetables
bearing no resemblance to Linux') for almost every non-x86 architecture.

It would be nicer to fix the pagetable leak (over the lifetime of a
process) in the core instead of sprinkling hugetlb with this.

I can make this out, but this probably actually needs to be presented
in slow motion so more than the two of us and its original authors can
work on it (and so I don't forget everything about it in 12-18 months).

dequeue_huge_page() seems to want a nodemask, not a vma, though I
suppose it's not particularly pressing.

It's the opposite of what its name implies; it implements strict
non-overcommit, in the sense that it tries to prevent the sum of
possible hugetlb allocations arising from handling hugetlb faults from
exceeding the size of the hugetlb memory pool.

I thought that was the state of the art for hugetlb pages already?

Only vacuously so, for mainline is not handling hugetlb faults.
The real impediment to all this is that no one is bothering to dredge
up architecture manuals for the architectures they're touching to
create plausible equivalents of update_mmu_cache(), clear_dcache_page()
(not considered by Lameter's patches at all), et al for hugetlb.

The looping is architecture specific. But you are right for the
architectures where I simply did the loop that is wrong. The address given
needs to be correctly calculated which it is not.
Again this is arch specific stuff and can be done as needed for any
architecture. There is no intend to generalize this.

The name of "overcommit" is definitely misleading. It means the
opposite. Since physical hugetlb backing page pool is fixed and
controlled by sys admin, the fault handler can not allocate free
pages when hugetlb page pool exhaust because of user over commits
hugetlb page. Thus we enforce strict accounting upfront to
guarantee that there will be hugetlb page available at fault time.
The down side of not having it is we SIGBUS if the kernel doesn't
have any free hugetlb pages left.

The "model", as it were, for pagetable updats, is a 3-stage model:
(1) prepare
(2) update
(3) commit
update_mmu_cache() is stage (3). Linux' software pagetable
modifications are step (2). Generally, architectures are trying to fold
stages (2) and (3) together in set_huge_pte(), so update_mmu_cache() is
not so much of an issue for them (and it's actually incorrect to do
this multiple times or without the architectures' awareness of hugepages
in update_mmu_cache() and so on). To completely regularize the hugetlb
case, merely move the commitment to cpu-native structures or other TLB
insertion done within set_huge_pte() to a new case in update_mmu_cache()
for large pages.
What is in fact far more pressing is flush_dcache_page(), without a
correct implementation of which for hugetlb, user-visible data
corruption follows.

Looks reasonable. The bit that struck me as quirky was the mpol_* on
the NULL vma. This pretty much eliminates the hidden dispatch, so I'm

Ok. I have done so in the following patch but no for all archs yet. Will
work on that next week and then post V2 of the patch.

When is flush_dcache_page used on a huge page?
It seems that the i386 simply does nothing for flush_dcache_page. IA64
defers to update_mmu_cache by setting PG_arch_1. So these two are ok as
is.
The other archs are likely much more involved than this. I tried to find
an simple way to identify a page as a huge page via struct page but
that is not that easy and its likely not good to follow
pointers to pointers in such a critical function. Maybe we need to add a
new page flag?

Hmm... Looks like there is a long way ahead of us.

It's not done at all for hugepages now, and needs to be. Fault handling
on hugetlb vmas will likely expose the cahing of stale data more readily.

Must be typos in the if statement. Two fatal errors here: You don't
really mean to break out of the for loop if there are no hugetlb page
on that node, do you? The variable name to index into the freelist is
wrong, should be nid, otherwise this code won't compile. That line
should be this:
+ if (!list_empty(&hugepage_freelists[nid]))
Also this is generic code, we should consider scanning ZONE_HIGHMEM
zonelist. Otherwise, this will likely screw up x86 numa machine.

The allocate from next best node is orthogonal to hugetlb demand paging.
This should be merged once all the bugs are fixed and later when demand
paging goes in, we can add the mpol_* stuff.

I'm not too picky about this. It appears to be the 4th of the series,
so assuming they go in in order that should meet your expectations. I
am significantly more concerned about the flush_dcache_page() issue in
general, though. I guess this should light a fire under my backside to
dredge up the docs describing the proper TLB flushing methods to use
in conjunction with large page extensions for the affected arches.

The highmem zones are included in the zones[] array AFAIK.

node_zonelists is an array in the struct pglist_data. In your patch,
you are referencing the first element in that array, which has a zone
list for all node memory in normal zone.
What will happen for a x86 numa box with highmem only on some nodes?
