Subject: [PATCH v6 0/5] userfaultfd move option

This patch series introduces UFFDIO_MOVE feature to userfaultfd, which
has long been implemented and maintained by Andrea in his local tree [1],
but was not upstreamed due to lack of use cases where this approach would
be better than allocating a new page and copying the contents. Previous
upstraming attempts could be found at [6] and [7].

UFFDIO_COPY performs ~20% better than UFFDIO_MOVE when the application
needs pages to be allocated [2]. However, with UFFDIO_MOVE, if pages are
available (in userspace) for recycling, as is usually the case in heap
compaction algorithms, then we can avoid the page allocation and memcpy
(done by UFFDIO_COPY). Also, since the pages are recycled in the
userspace, we avoid the need to release (via madvise) the pages back to
the kernel [3].
We see over 40% reduction (on a Google pixel 6 device) in the compacting
thread’s completion time by using UFFDIO_MOVE vs. UFFDIO_COPY. This was
measured using a benchmark that emulates a heap compaction implementation
using userfaultfd (to allow concurrent accesses by application threads).
More details of the usecase are explained in [3].

Furthermore, UFFDIO_MOVE enables moving swapped-out pages without
touching them within the same vma. Today, it can only be done by mremap,
however it forces splitting the vma.


TODOs for follow-up improvements:
- cross-mm support. Known differences from single-mm and missing pieces:
- memcg recharging (might need to isolate pages in the process)
- mm counters
- cross-mm deposit table moves
- cross-mm test
- document the address space where src and dest reside in struct
uffdio_move

- TLB flush batching. Will require extensive changes to PTL locking in
move_pages_pte(). OTOH that might let us reuse parts of mremap code.

Changes since v5 [10]:
- added logic to split large folios in move_pages_pte(),
per David Hildenbrand
- added check for PAE before split_huge_pmd() to avoid the split if the
move operation can't be done

uffd_move_pmd test, per David Hildenbrand
- fixed the condition in uffd_move_test_common() checking if area
alignment is needed

Changes since v4 [9]:
- added Acked-by in patch 1, per Peter Xu
- added description for ctx, mm and mode parameters of move_pages(),
per kernel test robot
- added Reviewed-by's, per Peter Xu and Axel Rasmussen
- removed unused operations in uffd_test_case_ops
- refactored uffd-unit-test changes to avoid using global variables and
handle pmd moves without page size overrides, per Peter Xu

Changes since v3 [8]:
- changed retry path in folio_lock_anon_vma_read() to unlock and then
relock RCU, per Peter Xu
- removed cross-mm support from initial patchset, per David Hildenbrand
- replaced BUG_ONs with VM_WARN_ON or WARN_ON_ONCE, per David Hildenbrand

- fixed warning for CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=n, per kernel test robot
- comments cleanup, per David Hildenbrand and Peter Xu
- checks for VM_IO,VM_PFNMAP,VM_HUGETLB,..., per David Hildenbrand
- prevent moving pinned pages, per Peter Xu
- changed uffd tests to call move uffd_test_ctx_clear() at the end of the
test run instead of in the beginning of the next run
- added support for testcase-specific ops
- added test for moving PMD-aligned blocks

Changes since v2 [5]:
- renamed UFFDIO_REMAP to UFFDIO_MOVE, per David Hildenbrand
- rebase over mm-unstable to use folio_move_anon_rmap(),
per David Hildenbrand

anon_vma checks, per David Hildenbrand
- changed all mapcount checks to PageAnonExclusive, per Jann Horn and
David Hildenbrand
- changed counters in remap_swap_pte() from MM_ANONPAGES to MM_SWAPENTS,
per Jann Horn
- added a check for PTE change after folio is locked in remap_pages_pte(),

Main changes since Andrea's last version [1]:
- Trivial translations from page to folio, mmap_sem to mmap_lock
- Replace pmd_trans_unstable() with pte_offset_map_nolock() and handle its
possible failure
- Move pte mapping into remap_pages_pte to allow for retries when source
page or anon_vma is contended. Since pte_offset_map_nolock() start RCU
read section, we can't block anymore after mapping a pte, so have to unmap
the ptesm do the locking and retry.
- Add and use anon_vma_trylock_write() to avoid blocking while in RCU
read section.
- Accommodate changes in mmu_notifier_range_init() API, switch to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start_nonblock() to avoid blocking while in
RCU read section.
- Open-code now removed __swp_swapcount()
- Replace pmd_read_atomic() with pmdp_get_lockless()
- Add new selftest for UFFDIO_MOVE

Subject: [PATCH v6 3/5] selftests/mm: call uffd_test_ctx_clear at the end of the test

uffd_test_ctx_clear() is being called from uffd_test_ctx_init() to unmap
areas used in the previous test run. This approach is problematic because
while unmapping areas uffd_test_ctx_clear() uses page_size and nr_pages
which might differ from one test run to another.
Fix this by calling uffd_test_ctx_clear() after each test is done.

Subject: [PATCH v6 1/5] mm/rmap: support move to different root anon_vma in folio_move_anon_rmap()

From: Andrea Arcangeli <[email protected]>

For now, folio_move_anon_rmap() was only used to move a folio to a
different anon_vma after fork(), whereby the root anon_vma stayed
unchanged. For that, it was sufficient to hold the folio lock when
calling folio_move_anon_rmap().

However, we want to make use of folio_move_anon_rmap() to move folios
between VMAs that have a different root anon_vma. As folio_referenced()
performs an RMAP walk without holding the folio lock but only holding the
anon_vma in read mode, holding the folio lock is insufficient.

When moving to an anon_vma with a different root anon_vma, we'll have to
hold both, the folio lock and the anon_vma lock in write mode.
Consequently, whenever we succeeded in folio_lock_anon_vma_read() to
read-lock the anon_vma, we have to re-check if the mapping was changed
in the meantime. If that was the case, we have to retry.

Note that folio_move_anon_rmap() must only be called if the anon page is
exclusive to a process, and must not be called on KSM folios.

This is a preparation for UFFDIO_MOVE, which will hold the folio lock,
the anon_vma lock in write mode, and the mmap_lock in read mode.

Subject: [PATCH v6 4/5] selftests/mm: add uffd_test_case_ops to allow test case-specific operations

Currently each test can specify unique operations using uffd_test_ops,
however these operations are per-memory type and not per-test. Add
uffd_test_case_ops which each test case can customize for its own needs
regardless of the memory type being used. Pre- and post-allocation
operations are added, some of which will be used in the next patch to
implement test-specific operations like madvise after memory is allocated
but before it is accessed.

Subject: [PATCH v6 2/5] userfaultfd: UFFDIO_MOVE uABI

From: Andrea Arcangeli <[email protected]>

Implement the uABI of UFFDIO_MOVE ioctl.
UFFDIO_COPY performs ~20% better than UFFDIO_MOVE when the application
needs pages to be allocated [1]. However, with UFFDIO_MOVE, if pages are
available (in userspace) for recycling, as is usually the case in heap
compaction algorithms, then we can avoid the page allocation and memcpy
(done by UFFDIO_COPY). Also, since the pages are recycled in the
userspace, we avoid the need to release (via madvise) the pages back to
the kernel [2].
We see over 40% reduction (on a Google pixel 6 device) in the compacting
thread’s completion time by using UFFDIO_MOVE vs. UFFDIO_COPY. This was
measured using a benchmark that emulates a heap compaction implementation
using userfaultfd (to allow concurrent accesses by application threads).
More details of the usecase are explained in [2].
Furthermore, UFFDIO_MOVE enables moving swapped-out pages without
touching them within the same vma. Today, it can only be done by mremap,
however it forces splitting the vma.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
[2] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CA+EESO4uO84SSnBhArH4HvLNhaUQ5nZKNKXqxRCyjniNVjp0Aw@mail.gmail.com/

Update for the ioctl_userfaultfd(2) manpage:

UFFDIO_MOVE
(Since Linux xxx) Move a continuous memory chunk into the
userfault registered range and optionally wake up the blocked
thread. The source and destination addresses and the number of
bytes to move are specified by the src, dst, and len fields of
the uffdio_move structure pointed to by argp:

struct uffdio_move {
__u64 dst; /* Destination of move */
__u64 src; /* Source of move */
__u64 len; /* Number of bytes to move */
__u64 mode; /* Flags controlling behavior of move */
__s64 move; /* Number of bytes moved, or negated error */
};

The following value may be bitwise ORed in mode to change the
behavior of the UFFDIO_MOVE operation:

UFFDIO_MOVE_MODE_DONTWAKE
Do not wake up the thread that waits for page-fault
resolution

UFFDIO_MOVE_MODE_ALLOW_SRC_HOLES
Allow holes in the source virtual range that is being moved.
When not specified, the holes will result in ENOENT error.
When specified, the holes will be accounted as successfully
moved memory. This is mostly useful to move hugepage aligned
virtual regions without knowing if there are transparent
hugepages in the regions or not, but preventing the risk of
having to split the hugepage during the operation.

The move field is used by the kernel to return the number of
bytes that was actually moved, or an error (a negated errno-
style value). If the value returned in move doesn't match the
value that was specified in len, the operation fails with the
error EAGAIN. The move field is output-only; it is not read by
the UFFDIO_MOVE operation.

The operation may fail for various reasons. Usually, remapping of
pages that are not exclusive to the given process fail; once KSM
might deduplicate pages or fork() COW-shares pages during fork()
with child processes, they are no longer exclusive. Further, the
kernel might only perform lightweight checks for detecting whether
the pages are exclusive, and return -EBUSY in case that check fails.
To make the operation more likely to succeed, KSM should be
disabled, fork() should be avoided or MADV_DONTFORK should be
configured for the source VMA before fork().

This ioctl(2) operation returns 0 on success. In this case, the
entire area was moved. On error, -1 is returned and errno is
set to indicate the error. Possible errors include:

EAGAIN The number of bytes moved (i.e., the value returned in
the move field) does not equal the value that was
specified in the len field.

EINVAL Either dst or len was not a multiple of the system page
size, or the range specified by src and len or dst and len
was invalid.

EINVAL An invalid bit was specified in the mode field.

ENOENT
The source virtual memory range has unmapped holes and
UFFDIO_MOVE_MODE_ALLOW_SRC_HOLES is not set.

EEXIST
The destination virtual memory range is fully or partially
mapped.

EBUSY
The pages in the source virtual memory range are either
pinned or not exclusive to the process. The kernel might
only perform lightweight checks for detecting whether the
pages are exclusive. To make the operation more likely to
succeed, KSM should be disabled, fork() should be avoided
or MADV_DONTFORK should be configured for the source virtual
memory area before fork().

ENOMEM Allocating memory needed for the operation failed.

ESRCH
The target process has exited at the time of a UFFDIO_MOVE
operation.

The userland application should set the feature flags it intends to use
when invoking the ``UFFDIO_API`` ioctl, to request that those features be

+ * @len: length of the virtual memory range
+ * @mode: flags from uffdio_move.mode
+ *
+ * Must be called with mmap_lock held for read.
+ *
+ * move_pages() remaps arbitrary anonymous pages atomically in zero
+ * copy. It only works on non shared anonymous pages because those can
+ * be relocated without generating non linear anon_vmas in the rmap
+ * code.
+ *
+ * It provides a zero copy mechanism to handle userspace page faults.
+ * The source vma pages should have mapcount == 1, which can be
+ * enforced by using madvise(MADV_DONTFORK) on src vma.
+ *
+ * The thread receiving the page during the userland page fault
+ * will receive the faulting page in the source vma through the network,
+ * storage or any other I/O device (MADV_DONTFORK in the source vma
+ * avoids move_pages() to fail with -EBUSY if the process forks before
+ * move_pages() is called), then it will call move_pages() to map the
+ * page in the faulting address in the destination vma.
+ *
+ * This userfaultfd command works purely via pagetables, so it's the
+ * most efficient way to move physical non shared anonymous pages
+ * across different virtual addresses. Unlike mremap()/mmap()/munmap()
+ * it does not create any new vmas. The mapping in the destination
+ * address is atomic.
+ *
+ * It only works if the vma protection bits are identical from the
+ * source and destination vma.
+ *
+ * It can remap non shared anonymous pages within the same vma too.
+ *
+ * If the source virtual memory range has any unmapped holes, or if
+ * the destination virtual memory range is not a whole unmapped hole,
+ * move_pages() will fail respectively with -ENOENT or -EEXIST. This
+ * provides a very strict behavior to avoid any chance of memory
+ * corruption going unnoticed if there are userland race conditions.
+ * Only one thread should resolve the userland page fault at any given
+ * time for any given faulting address. This means that if two threads
+ * try to both call move_pages() on the same destination address at the
+ * same time, the second thread will get an explicit error from this
+ * command.
+ *
+ * The command retval will return "len" is successful. The command
+ * however can be interrupted by fatal signals or errors. If
+ * interrupted it will return the number of bytes successfully
+ * remapped before the interruption if any, or the negative error if
+ * none. It will never return zero. Either it will return an error or
+ * an amount of bytes successfully moved. If the retval reports a
+ * "short" remap, the move_pages() command should be repeated by
+ * userland with src+retval, dst+reval, len-retval if it wants to know
+ * about the error that interrupted it.
+ *
+ * The UFFDIO_MOVE_MODE_ALLOW_SRC_HOLES flag can be specified to
+ * prevent -ENOENT errors to materialize if there are holes in the
+ * source virtual range that is being remapped. The holes will be
+ * accounted as successfully remapped in the retval of the
+ * command. This is mostly useful to remap hugepage naturally aligned
+ * virtual regions without knowing if there are transparent hugepage
+ * in the regions or not, but preventing the risk of having to split
+ * the hugepmd during the remap.
+ *
+ * If there's any rmap walk that is taking the anon_vma locks without
+ * first obtaining the folio lock (the only current instance is
+ * folio_referenced), they will have to verify if the folio->mapping
+ * has changed after taking the anon_vma lock. If it changed they
+ * should release the lock and retry obtaining a new anon_vma, because
+ * it means the anon_vma was changed by move_pages() before the lock
+ * could be obtained. This is the only additional complexity added to
+ * the rmap code to provide this anonymous page remapping functionality.

Subject: [PATCH v6 5/5] selftests/mm: add UFFDIO_MOVE ioctl test

Add tests for new UFFDIO_MOVE ioctl which uses uffd to move source
into destination buffer while checking the contents of both after
the move. After the operation the content of the destination buffer
should match the original source buffer's content while the source
buffer should be zeroed. Separate tests are designed for PMD aligned and
unaligned cases because they utilize different code paths in the kernel.

Thanks for reporting! I'll try that later today.
Just to clarify, are you using mm-unstable and if so, has it been
rebased since Friday? There was an update to this patchset in
mm-unstable which Andrew merged on Friday and the failure does look
like something that would happen with the previous version.

I tried reproducing the issue but so far unsuccessfully. Could you
please confirm that on the latest mm-unstable branch it's still
reproducible and if so, please provide detailed instructions on how
you reproduce it.

This is linux-next. I pasted the commands used to build and sent links
to a full build log in the original report.

Probably also related to "make headers-install":

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

The general problem is that some mm selftests are currently not written
in way that allows them to compile with old linux headers. That's why
the build fails if "make headers-install" was not executed, but it does
not fail if "make headers-install" was once upon a time executed, but
the headers are outdated.

Oh, it's obviously the new headers not being installed. The builds
where I'm seeing the problem (my own and KernelCI's) are all fresh
containers so there shouldn't be any stale headers lying around.

Ok, I was updating my headers and that's why I could not reproduce it.
David, should the test be modified to handle old linux headers
(disable the new tests #ifndef _UFFDIO_MOVE or some other way)?

Are you sure we're not just missing an updated to the list of headers to
copy (under include/uapi IIRC)?

Let me double check.

Just to rule out this possibility, linux-next was broken on Friday
(see https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAJuCfpFiEqRO4qkFZbUCmGZy-n_ucqgR5NeyvnwXqYh+RU4C6w@mail.gmail.com/).
I just checked and it's fixed now. Could you confirm that with the
latest linux-next you still see the issue?

That's an open question: do we want to be able to build selftests
against any host headers, and not the in-tree headers that have to be
manually installed and dirty the git tree?

One obvious drawbacks is that we'll have to deal with all that using a
bunch of #ifdef, and the tests that will be built+run will depend on the
host headers.

Especially the letter is relevant I think: Our upstream testing won't be
able to build+run tests that rely on new upstream features. But that's
what some key benefit of these selftests, and being able to run them
automatically on a bunch of different combinations upstream.

Further, the tests are closely related to the given kernel version, they
are not some completely separate tests.


Moving the the (MM?) selftests to a separate repository would make the
decision easier: just like in QEMU etc, we'd simply pull in a headers
update and only build against these archived headers.

So I see the options:

(1) Rely on installing the proper in-tree headers. Build will fail if
that is not happening.

(2) Make the tests build with any host headers.

(3) Regularly archive the required headers in the selftest directory
like external projects like QEMU do.


(3) avoids dirtying the tree as a "make headers_install" would, but it
also means that each test that makes use of new uapi has to update the
relevant headers (what people working on QEMU are used to).

Yes, it looks like it's fixed today - thanks! (The fix was getting
masked by the ongoing KVM breakage.)

Quite a lot of existing selftests rely on the headers being installed to
build...

Note that there's a general desire for the tests to *run* with older
kernels and use whatever feature test mechanisms exist to skip tests
that won't run. That's often needed anyway for configurable things.

Note that you can do an out of tree build to avoid dirtying things.

Yes, but apparently the simple "make headers_install" will dirty the kernel.

I mean, I guess people who don't want to install the headers are just
not going to be able to build a bunch of tests? There definitely are a
bunch of tests where it's not needed so I can see why people would not
like being forced to do the headers step if they're only interested in
those tests.

Yes. And before that, people mostly had no clue that headers had to be
installed in order to compile successfully.

So maybe a warning to give at least some hint might be reasonable.

Or (4) Hack in little ifdef snippets, into the selftests, like we used
to do. Peter Zijlstra seems to be asking for this, if I understand his
(much) earlier comments about this.

That sounds sensible, especially if we could arrange to flag when the
specific tests being built need it.

But the end result is messy: not everything builds in some cases. If
instead we went back to the little ifdef snippets, such as this (from
v5.1):

hugepage-shm.c:

#ifndef SHM_HUGETLB
#define SHM_HUGETLB 04000
#endif

...then with a bit of one-time, manual effort, we could get everything
to work at all times. And that seems better, doesn't it?

I can't help but think that if we're having to manually copy bits of
the uapi headers (which are already separated out in the source) into
another part of the same source tree in order to use them then there's
room for improvement somewhere. TBH it also doesn't seem great to add
additional variables that depend on the user's build environment, we
already have enough build issues. It ought to be mostly tedious rather
than hard but it's still a pain, especially given the issues we have
getting kselftest fixes merged promptly.

Yes, it feels that way to me, too.

What about David's option (3):

(3) Regularly archive the required headers in the selftest directory
like external projects like QEMU do.

, combined with something in the build system to connect it up for
building the selftests?

Or maybe there is an innovative way to do all of this, that we have
yet to think of.

We do copy files into tools/include at random times which makes sense
for things that aren't uapi, and we are putting bits of uapi there
already so we could just expand the set of files copied there. AFAICT
the only reason we're copying the uapi files at all is that they're
directly in the same include/ directories as everything else and are
always referenced with their uapi/ prefix.

I'm not a fan of fixing up host headers on a case-per-case basis using
ifdefs. It makes the tests harder to read, write and maintain.

We do have the proper headers in the tree, just not in an consumable way
for the tests.

Ideally, we'd either carry our own "consumable" version in the tree, or
are able to convert the headers under the hood and place them in a
directory where we won't have to dirty the tree -- and only tests that
need these headers (e.g., mm selftests) will perform that conversion and
include them.

I usually build my stuff in-tree, so I don't really have a lot of
experience with out-of-tree selftest builds and the whole kernel header
inclusion (and how we could avoid the "make headers" and place the
headers somewhere else).

It's generally something along the lines of (from tuxmake):

make --silent --keep-going --jobs=15 O=/build/stage/build-work INSTALL_PATH=/build/stage/build-work/kselftest_install ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT=arm-linux-gnueabihf- kselftest-install

possibly with a -C in there to find the kernel source (from KernelCI):

make KBUILD_BUILD_USER=KernelCI FORMAT=.xz ARCH=arm64 HOSTCC=gcc CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT=arm-linux-gnueabihf- CC="ccache aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc" O=/tmp/kci/linux/build -C/tmp/kci/linux -j10 kselftest-gen_tar

Oh, this sounds like it would work nicely. No more "make headers"
required (hooray!). Instead, the new approach would be "selftests are
allowed to include from tools/include", and then we can just start
copying the files that we need to that location, and gradually fix up
all the selftests.

I really like this, at first reading anyway.

Muhammad, Shuah, others, what do you think?

No, this wouldn't work.
* The selftests are applications which include default header files. The
application don't care from where the header files are picked up at compile
time. We should be able to build the application on normal system with
latest headers installed without any changes.

Well, that's not the proposal. The idea is to snapshot various uapi/ headers
into tools/include, just like what is already being done:

$ diff ./include/uapi/linux/fs.h ./tools/include/uapi/linux/fs.h
$

Oh sorry, that's exactly what you were saying you don't want. ahem. :)

Another variation though, would be to run "make headers", and snapshot
some of those files into tools/include.

^ this is what I had in mind

If you're writing a test that needs some new fancy thing, update the
relevant header.

Note that we have a bunch of selftests (at least arm64, hid, kvm, rseq
and sgx from a quick grep) which already use and rely on the headers in
tools/include.

I think there is much less interest in building out of the kernel than
there is in avoiding having to handle random userspace headers...

I guess that's another reason why the sync is done manually. There are
also a bunch of files in tools/include that are just completely
different implementations of things (not just uapi).

OK, and Mark Brown's nearby response [1] supports that, as well.

Thus fortified, I plan on doing the following steps:

Step 1: Do nothing about the revert patch that I sent earlier, thus
allowing it to continue in its journey (so far, Andrew has moved it into
mm-hotfixes-stable branch).

Step 2: Send out a patch for a modest part of selftests/mm, that uses
this latest approach, and see how it fares in reviews.
