This is rebased version of my implementation of huge pages support for
tmpfs.
There are few fixes by Hugh since v8. Rebase on v4.7-rc1 was somewhat
painful, because of changes in radix-tree API, but everything looks fine
now.
Andrew, please consider applying the patchset to -mm tree.
The patchset is on top of v4.7-rc1 plus khugepaged updates from -mm tree.

== Changelog ==
v9:
- rebased to v4.7-rc1;
- truncate_inode_pages_range() and invalidate_inode_pages2_range() are
adjusted to use page_to_pgoff() (Hugh);
- filemap: fix refcounting in error path in radix-tree opeartions (Hugh);
- khugepaged: handle !PageUptodate() pages (due fallocate() ?) during
collapse (Hugh);
- shmem_unused_huge_shrink:
- fix shrinklist_len accounting (Hugh);
- call find_lock_page() for alligned address, so we will not get tail
page and don't crash in PageTransHuge() (Hugh);
v8:
- khugepaged updates:
+ mark collapsed page dirty, otherwise vmscan would discard it;
+ account pages to mapping->nrpages on shmem_charge;
+ fix a situation when not all tail pages put on radix tree on collapse;
+ fix off-by-one in loop-exit condition in khugepaged_scan_shmem();
+ use radix_tree_iter_next/radix_tree_iter_retry instead of gotos;
+ fix build withount CONFIG_SHMEM (again);
- split huge pages beyond i_size under memory pressure;
- disable huge tmpfs on Power, as it makes use of deposited page tables,
we don't have;
- fix filesystem size limit accouting;
- mark page referenced on split_huge_pmd() if the pmd is young;
- uncharge pages from shmem, removed during split_huge_page();
- make shmem_inode_info::lock irq-safe -- required by khugepaged;
v7:
- khugepaged updates:
+ fix page leak/page cache corruption on collapse fail;
+ filter out VMAs not suitable for huge pages due misaligned vm_pgoff;
+ fix build without CONFIG_SHMEM;
+ drop few over-protective checks;
- fix bogus VM_BUG_ON() in __delete_from_page_cache();
v6:
- experimental collapse support;
- fix swapout mapped huge pages;
- fix page leak in faularound code;
- fix exessive huge page allocation with huge=within_size;
- rename VM_NO_THP to VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED;
- fix condition in hugepage_madvise();
- accounting reworked again;
v5:
- add FileHugeMapped to /proc/PID/smaps;
- make FileHugeMapped in meminfo aligned with other fields;
- Documentation/vm/transhuge.txt updated;
v4:
- first four patch were applied to -mm tree;
- drop pages beyond i_size on split_huge_pages;
- few small random bugfixes;
v3:
- huge= mountoption now can have values always, within_size, advice and
never;
- sysctl handle is replaced with sysfs knob;
- MADV_HUGEPAGE/MADV_NOHUGEPAGE is now respected on page allocation via
page fault;
- mlock() handling had been fixed;
- bunch of smaller bugfixes and cleanups.
== Design overview ==
Huge pages are allocated by shmem when it's allowed (by mount option) and
there's no entries for the range in radix-tree. Huge page is represented by
HPAGE_PMD_NR entries in radix-tree.
MM core maps a page with PMD if ->fault() returns huge page and the VMA is
suitable for huge pages (size, alignment). There's no need into two
requests to file system: filesystem returns huge page if it can,
graceful fallback to small pages otherwise.
As with DAX, split_huge_pmd() is implemented by unmapping the PMD: we can
re-fault the page with PTEs later.
Basic scheme for split_huge_page() is the same as for anon-THP.
Few differences:
- File pages are on radix-tree, so we have head->_count offset by
HPAGE_PMD_NR. The count got distributed to small pages during split.
- mapping->tree_lock prevents non-lockless access to pages under split
over radix-tree;
- Lockless access is prevented by setting the head->_count to 0 during
split, so get_page_unless_zero() would fail;
- After split, some pages can be beyond i_size. We drop them from
radix-tree.
- We don't setup migration entries. Just unmap pages. It helps
handling cases when i_size is in the middle of the page: no need
handle unmap pages beyond i_size manually.
COW mapping handled on PTE-level. It's not clear how beneficial would be
allocation of huge pages on COW faults. And it would require some code to
make them work.
I think at some point we can consider teaching khugepaged to collapse
pages in COW mappings, but allocating huge on fault is probably overkill.
As with anon THP, we mlock file huge page only if it mapped with PMD.
PTE-mapped THPs are never mlocked. This way we can avoid all sorts of
scenarios when we can leak mlocked page.
As with anon THP, we split huge page on swap out.
Truncate and punch hole that only cover part of THP range is implemented
by zero out this part of THP.
This have visible effect on fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) behaviour.
As we don't really create hole in this case, lseek(SEEK_HOLE) may have
inconsistent results depending what pages happened to be allocated.
I don't think this will be a problem.
We track per-super_block list of inodes which potentially have huge page
partly beyond i_size. Under memory pressure or if we hit -ENOSPC, we split
such pages in order to recovery memory.
The list is per-sb, as we need to split a page from our filesystem if hit
-ENOSPC (-o size= limit) during shmem_getpage_gfp() to free some space.
== Patchset overview ==
[01/29]
Update documentation on THP vs. mlock. I've posted it separately
before. It can go in.
[02-04/29]
Rework fault path and rmap to handle file pmd. Unlike DAX with
vm_ops->pmd_fault, we don't need to ask filesystem twice -- first
for huge page and then for small. If ->fault happened to return
huge page and VMA is suitable for mapping it as huge, we would
do so.
[05/29]
Add support for huge file pages in rmap;
[06-15/29]
Various preparation of THP core for file pages.
[16-20/29]
Various preparation of MM core for file pages.
[21-24/29]
And finally, bring huge pages into tmpfs/shmem.
[25/29]
Wire up madvise() existing hints for file THP.
We can implement fadvise() later.
[26/29]
Documentation update.
[27-29/29]
Extend khugepaged to support shmem/tmpfs.
