[merged mm-hotfixes-stable] mm-respect-mmap-hint-address-when-aligning-for-thp.patch removed from -mm tree

by Andrew Morton

The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: respect mmap hint address when aligning for THP has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-respect-mmap-hint-address-when-aligning-for-thp.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Kalesh Singh <kaleshsingh(a)google.com> Subject: mm: respect mmap hint address when aligning for THP Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2024 13:46:48 -0800 Commit efa7df3e3bb5 ("mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP boundaries") updated __get_unmapped_area() to align the start address for the VMA to a PMD boundary if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y. It does this by effectively looking up a region that is of size, request_size + PMD_SIZE, and aligning up the start to a PMD boundary. Commit 4ef9ad19e176 ("mm: huge_memory: don't force huge page alignment on 32 bit") opted out of this for 32bit due to regressions in mmap base randomization. Commit d4148aeab412 ("mm, mmap: limit THP alignment of anonymous mappings to PMD-aligned sizes") restricted this to only mmap sizes that are multiples of the PMD_SIZE due to reported regressions in some performance benchmarks -- which seemed mostly due to the reduced spatial locality of related mappings due to the forced PMD-alignment. Another unintended side effect has emerged: When a user specifies an mmap hint address, the THP alignment logic modifies the behavior, potentially ignoring the hint even if a sufficiently large gap exists at the requested hint location. Example Scenario: Consider the following simplified virtual address (VA) space: ... 0x200000-0x400000 --- VMA A 0x400000-0x600000 --- Hole 0x600000-0x800000 --- VMA B ... A call to mmap() with hint=0x400000 and len=0x200000 behaves differently: - Before THP alignment: The requested region (size 0x200000) fits into the gap at 0x400000, so the hint is respected. - After alignment: The logic searches for a region of size 0x400000 (len + PMD_SIZE) starting at 0x400000. This search fails due to the mapping at 0x600000 (VMA B), and the hint is ignored, falling back to arch_get_unmapped_area[_topdown](). In general the hint is effectively ignored, if there is any existing mapping in the below range: [mmap_hint + mmap_size, mmap_hint + mmap_size + PMD_SIZE) This changes the semantics of mmap hint; from ""Respect the hint if a sufficiently large gap exists at the requested location" to "Respect the hint only if an additional PMD-sized gap exists beyond the requested size". This has performance implications for allocators that allocate their heap using mmap but try to keep it "as contiguous as possible" by using the end of the exisiting heap as the address hint. With the new behavior it's more likely to get a much less contiguous heap, adding extra fragmentation and performance overhead. To restore the expected behavior; don't use thp_get_unmapped_area_vmflags() when the user provided a hint address, for anonymous mappings. Note: As Yang Shi pointed out: the issue still remains for filesystems which are using thp_get_unmapped_area() for their get_unmapped_area() op. It is unclear what worklaods will regress for if we ignore THP alignment when the hint address is provided for such file backed mappings -- so this fix will be handled separately.

However, it still would try to take the pool_lock in an attempt to save a stack trace in the current pool (if space is available). This could result in deadlock if an NMI is handled while pool_lock is already held. To avoid deadlock, only try to take the lock in NMI context and give up if unsuccessful.

Anders and Philippe have reported that recent kernels occasionally hang when used with NFS in readahead code. The problem has been bisected to 7c877586da3 ("readahead: properly shorten readahead when falling back to do_page_cache_ra()"). The cause of the problem is that ra->size can be shrunk by read_pages() call and subsequently we end up calling do_page_cache_ra() with negative (read huge positive) number of pages. Let's revert 7c877586da3 for now until we can find a proper way how the logic in read_pages() and page_cache_ra_order() can coexist. This can lead to reduced readahead throughput due to readahead window confusion but that's better than outright hangs.

Its filename was selftests-damon-add-_damon_sysfspy-to-test_files.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Maximilian Heyne <mheyne(a)amazon.de> Subject: selftests/damon: add _damon_sysfs.py to TEST_FILES Date: Wed, 27 Nov 2024 12:08:53 +0000 When running selftests I encountered the following error message with some damon tests: # Traceback (most recent call last): # File "[...]/damon/./damos_quota.py", line 7, in <module> # import _damon_sysfs # ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_damon_sysfs' Fix this by adding the _damon_sysfs.py file to TEST_FILES so that it will be available when running the respective damon selftests.

[merged mm-hotfixes-stable] selftest-hugetlb_dio-fix-test-naming.patch removed from -mm tree

by Andrew Morton

The quilt patch titled Subject: selftest: hugetlb_dio: fix test naming has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was selftest-hugetlb_dio-fix-test-naming.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Mark Brown <broonie(a)kernel.org> Subject: selftest: hugetlb_dio: fix test naming Date: Wed, 27 Nov 2024 16:14:22 +0000 The string logged when a test passes or fails is used by the selftest framework to identify which test is being reported. The hugetlb_dio test not only uses the same strings for every test that is run but it also uses different strings for test passes and failures which means that test automation is unable to follow what the test is doing at all. Pull the existing duplicated logging of the number of free huge pages before and after the test out of the conditional and replace that and the logging of the result with a single ksft_print_result() which incorporates the parameters passed into the test into the output.
