[PATCH v5] mm/rmap: do not add fully unmapped large folio to deferred split list
Posted by Zi Yan 1 week, 3 days ago
From: Zi Yan <ziy@nvidia.com>

In __folio_remove_rmap(), a large folio is added to deferred split list
if any page in a folio loses its final mapping. But it is possible that
the folio is fully unmapped and adding it to deferred split list is
unnecessary.

For PMD-mapped THPs, that was not really an issue, because removing the
last PMD mapping in the absence of PTE mappings would not have added the
folio to the deferred split queue.

However, for PTE-mapped THPs, which are now more prominent due to mTHP,
they are always added to the deferred split queue. One side effect
is that the THP_DEFERRED_SPLIT_PAGE stat for a PTE-mapped folio can be
unintentionally increased, making it look like there are many partially
mapped folios -- although the whole folio is fully unmapped stepwise.

Core-mm now tries batch-unmapping consecutive PTEs of PTE-mapped THPs
where possible starting from commit b06dc281aa99 ("mm/rmap: introduce
folio_remove_rmap_[pte|ptes|pmd]()"). When it happens, a whole PTE-mapped
folio is unmapped in one go and can avoid being added to deferred split
list, reducing the THP_DEFERRED_SPLIT_PAGE noise. But there will still be
noise when we cannot batch-unmap a complete PTE-mapped folio in one go
-- or where this type of batching is not implemented yet, e.g., migration.

To avoid the unnecessary addition, folio->_nr_pages_mapped is checked
to tell if the whole folio is unmapped. If the folio is already on
deferred split list, it will be skipped, too.

Note: commit 98046944a159 ("mm: huge_memory: add the missing
folio_test_pmd_mappable() for THP split statistics") tried to exclude
mTHP deferred split stats from THP_DEFERRED_SPLIT_PAGE, but it does not
fix the above issue. A fully unmapped PTE-mapped order-9 THP was still
added to deferred split list and counted as THP_DEFERRED_SPLIT_PAGE,
since nr is 512 (non zero), level is RMAP_LEVEL_PTE, and inside
deferred_split_folio() the order-9 folio is folio_test_pmd_mappable().

An attempt to reference folio->_deferred_list causes the crash below.

So if you remove this line, the crash no longer happens? It looks strange to
me that referencing a anonymous folio's _deferred_list would cause a crash.
Hmm, unless the folio is order-0.

Can you try the patch below and see if it fixes the crash? It moves partially_mapped
ahead to exclude order-0 folios.

My impression was that !! is needed to convert from int to bool and I do
find "!!int && !!int" use in the kernel. If this is unnecessary, Andrew
can apply the fixup below. I can send a new version if it is really needed.

I might be wrong about this, but if you wouldn't write

	if (!!nr && !!atomic_read(mapped))

then

bool partially_mapped = nr && atomic_read(mapped);

is sufficient.

&& would make sure that the result is either 0 or 1, which
you can store safely in a bool, no matter which underlying type
is used to store that value.

But I *think* nowdays, the compiler will always handle that
correctly, even without the "&&" (ever since C99 added _Bool).

Likely, also

	bool partially_mapped = nr & atomic_read(mapped);

Would nowadays work, but looks stupid.

$ ./test

int i1 = a: 0
int i2 = !!a: 1
bool b1 = a: 1
bool b2 = !!a: 1
---

Note that if bool would be defined as "int", you would need the !!, otherwise you
would lose information.

But even for b1, the gcc generates now:

  40118c:       48 8b 05 7d 2e 00 00    mov    0x2e7d(%rip),%rax        # 404010 <a>
  401193:       48 85 c0                test   %rax,%rax
  401196:       0f 95 c0                setne  %al


My stdbool.h contains

#define bool	_Bool

And I think C99 added _Bool that makes that work.

But I didn't read the standard, and it's time for the weekend :)

Agreed. We need to be careful in this case.

I just read the C99 and found some interesting information as follows:

6.3.1.2 Boolean type
    When any *scalar value* is converted to _Bool, the result is 0 if the
    value compares equal to 0; otherwise, the result is 1.

6.2.5 Types
    21. Arithmetic types and pointer types are collectively called *scalar
    types*. Array and structure types are collectively called aggregate types.

6.5.13 Logical AND operator
    Semantics
    The && operator shall yield 1 if both of its operands compare unequal to
    0; otherwise, it yields 0. The result has type int.

6.5.10 Bitwise AND operator
    Constraints
    Each of the operands shall have integer type.
    Semantics
    The result of the binary & operator is the bitwise AND of the operands
    (that is, each bit in the result is set if and only if each of the
corresponding
    bits in the converted operands is set).

&& would ensure that the result is either 0 or 1, as David said, so no worries.

We defined partially_mapped as a bool(_Bool). IIUC, "partially_mapped
= int & int;"
would work correctly as well. However, "partially_mapped = long &
int;" might not.

Using && would be nicer as David suggested :p

My example was flawed: I wanted to express that "if any bit is set, the 
bool value will be 1. That works for "| vs ||" but not for "& vs &&", 
obviously :)

Implicit type conversion would convert "long & int" to "long & long" 
first, which should work just fine. I think really most concerns 
regarding the bool type are due to < C99 not supporting _Bool.

Great weekend everybody!

Thank you for all above. Really appreciate it! And you are right about && and !!.
My memory on !! must be from the old days and now is refreshed. :)
