Subject: [PATCH v8 0/8] Batch hugetlb vmemmap modification operations

When hugetlb vmemmap optimization was introduced, the overhead of enabling
the option was measured as described in commit 426e5c429d16 [1]. The summary
states that allocating a hugetlb page should be ~2x slower with optimization
and freeing a hugetlb page should be ~2-3x slower. Such overhead was deemed
an acceptable trade off for the memory savings obtained by freeing vmemmap
pages.

It was recently reported that the overhead associated with enabling vmemmap
optimization could be as high as 190x for hugetlb page allocations.
Yes, 190x! Some actual numbers from other environments are:

time echo 0 > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
real 2m29.924s

In the VM environment, the slowdown of enabling hugetlb vmemmap optimization
resulted in allocation times being 61x slower.

A quick profile showed that the vast majority of this overhead was due to
TLB flushing. Each time we modify the kernel pagetable we need to flush
the TLB. For each hugetlb that is optimized, there could be potentially
two TLB flushes performed. One for the vmemmap pages associated with the
hugetlb page, and potentially another one if the vmemmap pages are mapped
at the PMD level and must be split. The TLB flushes required for the kernel
pagetable, result in a broadcast IPI with each CPU having to flush a range
of pages, or do a global flush if a threshold is exceeded. So, the flush
time increases with the number of CPUs. In addition, in virtual environments
the broadcast IPI can’t be accelerated by hypervisor hardware and leads to
traps that need to wakeup/IPI all vCPUs which is very expensive. Because of
this the slowdown in virtual environments is even worse than bare metal as
the number of vCPUS/CPUs is increased.

The following series attempts to reduce amount of time spent in TLB flushing.
The idea is to batch the vmemmap modification operations for multiple hugetlb
pages. Instead of doing one or two TLB flushes for each page, we do two TLB
flushes for each batch of pages. One flush after splitting pages mapped at
the PMD level, and another after remapping vmemmap associated with all
hugetlb pages. Results of such batching are as follows:

This series is based on mm-stable (October 18)

Changed v7 -> v8:
- patch 2 initialized h in gather_bootmem_prealloc so clang would not
cause loop to be executed when entry condition false.
- patch 2 changed locking in prep_and_add_allocated_folios to take into
account that IRQs may be disabled.
- patch 3 same locking changes for patch 2 above for
prep_and_add_bootmem_folios
- Removed Muchun RBs from patches although they are much the same

Changes v6 -> v7:
- Fixed hugetlb_vmemmap_restore_folios stub for the
!CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP case
- Added Muchun RB for patches 4 and 8

Changes v5 -> v6:
- patch 4 in bulk_vmemmap_restore_error remove folio from list before
calling add_hugetlb_folio.
- Added Muchun RB for patches 2 and 3

Changes v4 -> v5:
- patch 3 comment style updated, unnecessary INIT_LIST_HEAD
- patch 4 updated hugetlb_vmemmap_restore_folios to pass back number of
restored folios in non-error case. In addition, routine passes back
list of folios with vmemmmap. Naming more consistent.
- patch 5 remover over optimization and added Muchun RB
- patch 6 break and early return in ENOMEM case. Updated comments.
Added Muchun RB.
- patch 7 Updated comments about splitting failure. Added Muchun RB.
- patch 8 Made comments consistent.

Changes v3 -> v4:
- Rebased on mm-unstable and dropped requisite patches.
- patch 2 updated to take bootmem vmemmap initialization into account
- patch 3 more changes for bootmem hugetlb pages. added routine
prep_and_add_bootmem_folios.
- patch 5 in hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize_folios on ENOMEM check for
list_empty before freeing and retry. This is more important in
subsequent patch where we flush_tlb_all after ENOMEM.

Changes v2 -> v3:
- patch 5 was part of an earlier series that was not picked up. It is
included here as it helps with batching optimizations.
- patch 6 hugetlb_vmemmap_restore_folios is changed from type void to
returning an error code as well as an additional output parameter providing
the number folios for which vmemmap was actually restored. The caller can
then be more intelligent about processing the list.
- patch 9 eliminate local list in vmemmap_restore_pte. The routine
hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize_folios checks for ENOMEM and frees accumulated
vmemmap pages while processing the list.
- patch 10 introduce flags field to struct vmemmap_remap_walk and
VMEMMAP_SPLIT_NO_TLB_FLUSH for not flushing during pass to split PMDs.
- patch 11 rename flag VMEMMAP_REMAP_NO_TLB_FLUSH and pass in from callers.

Changes v1 -> v2:
- patch 5 now takes into account the requirement that only compound
pages with hugetlb flag set can be passed to vmemmmap routines. This
involved separating the 'prep' of hugetlb pages even further. The code
dealing with bootmem allocations was also modified so that batching is
possible. Adding a 'batch' of hugetlb pages to their respective free
lists is now done in one lock cycle.
- patch 7 added description of routine hugetlb_vmemmap_restore_folios
(Muchun).
- patch 8 rename bulk_pages to vmemmap_pages and let caller be responsible
for freeing (Muchun)
- patch 9 use 'walk->remap_pte' to determine if a split only operation
is being performed (Muchun). Removed unused variable and
hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_key (Muchun).
- Patch 10 pass 'flags variable' instead of bool to indicate behavior and
allow for future expansion (Muchun). Single flag VMEMMAP_NO_TLB_FLUSH.
Provide detailed comment about the need to keep old and new vmemmap pages
in sync (Muchun).
- Patch 11 pass flag variable as in patch 10 (Muchun).

Subject: [PATCH v8 5/8] hugetlb: batch freeing of vmemmap pages

Now that batching of hugetlb vmemmap optimization processing is possible,
batch the freeing of vmemmap pages. When freeing vmemmap pages for a
hugetlb page, we add them to a list that is freed after the entire batch
has been processed.

This enhances the ability to return contiguous ranges of memory to the
low level allocators.

Subject: [PATCH v8 2/8] hugetlb: restructure pool allocations

Allocation of a hugetlb page for the hugetlb pool is done by the routine
alloc_pool_huge_page. This routine will allocate contiguous pages from
a low level allocator, prep the pages for usage as a hugetlb page and
then add the resulting hugetlb page to the pool.

In the 'prep' stage, optional vmemmap optimization is done. For
performance reasons we want to perform vmemmap optimization on multiple
hugetlb pages at once. To do this, restructure the hugetlb pool
allocation code such that vmemmap optimization can be isolated and later
batched.

The code to allocate hugetlb pages from bootmem was also modified to
allow batching.

No functional changes, only code restructure.

Subject: [PATCH v8 6/8] hugetlb: batch PMD split for bulk vmemmap dedup

From: Joao Martins <[email protected]>

In an effort to minimize amount of TLB flushes, batch all PMD splits
belonging to a range of pages in order to perform only 1 (global) TLB
flush.

Add a flags field to the walker and pass whether it's a bulk allocation
or just a single page to decide to remap. First value
(VMEMMAP_SPLIT_NO_TLB_FLUSH) designates the request to not do the TLB
flush when we split the PMD.

Subject: [PATCH v8 4/8] hugetlb: perform vmemmap restoration on a list of pages

The routine update_and_free_pages_bulk already performs vmemmap
restoration on the list of hugetlb pages in a separate step. In
preparation for more functionality to be added in this step, create a
new routine hugetlb_vmemmap_restore_folios() that will restore
vmemmap for a list of folios.

This new routine must provide sufficient feedback about errors and
actual restoration performed so that update_and_free_pages_bulk can
perform optimally.

Special care must be taken when encountering an error from
hugetlb_vmemmap_restore_folios. We want to continue making as much
forward progress as possible. A new routine bulk_vmemmap_restore_error
handles this specific situation.

Subject: [PATCH v8 3/8] hugetlb: perform vmemmap optimization on a list of pages

When adding hugetlb pages to the pool, we first create a list of the
allocated pages before adding to the pool. Pass this list of pages to a
new routine hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize_folios() for vmemmap optimization.

Due to significant differences in vmemmmap initialization for bootmem
allocated hugetlb pages, a new routine prep_and_add_bootmem_folios
is created.

We also modify the routine vmemmap_should_optimize() to check for pages
that are already optimized. There are code paths that might request
vmemmap optimization twice and we want to make sure this is not
attempted.

Subject: [PATCH v8 7/8] hugetlb: batch TLB flushes when freeing vmemmap

From: Joao Martins <[email protected]>

Now that a list of pages is deduplicated at once, the TLB
flush can be batched for all vmemmap pages that got remapped.

Expand the flags field value to pass whether to skip the TLB flush
on remap of the PTE.

The TLB flush is global as we don't have guarantees from caller
that the set of folios is contiguous, or to add complexity in
composing a list of kVAs to flush.

Modified by Mike Kravetz to perform TLB flush on single folio if an
error is encountered.

Subject: [PATCH v8 8/8] hugetlb: batch TLB flushes when restoring vmemmap

Update the internal hugetlb restore vmemmap code path such that TLB
flushing can be batched. Use the existing mechanism of passing the
VMEMMAP_REMAP_NO_TLB_FLUSH flag to indicate flushing should not be
performed for individual pages. The routine hugetlb_vmemmap_restore_folios
is the only user of this new mechanism, and it will perform a global
flush after all vmemmap is restored.

It seems that if folio_list is empty, we could spend a tlb flush here.
perhaps it's worth to check against empty list up front and return ?

Good point.

hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize_folios is only called from
prep_and_add_allocated_folios and prep_and_add_bootmem_folios. I
previously thought about adding a check like the following at the
beginning of those routines.

if (list_empty(folio_list))
return;

However that seemed like over optimizing. But, such a check would avoid
the tlb flush as you point out above as well as an unnecessary
hugetlb_lock lock/unlock cycle.

We can add something like this as an optimization. I am not too concerned
about this right now because these these routines are generally called very
infrequently as the result of a user request to change the size of hugetlb
pools.
