From: Zi Yan <ziy@xxxxxxxxxx> Hi all, The patches are rebased on mmotm-2017-02-01-15-35 with feedbacks from Naoya Horiguchi's v2 patches. I fix a bug in zap_pmd_range() and include the fixes in Patches 1-3. The racy check in zap_pmd_range() can miss pmd_protnone and pmd_migration_entry, which leads to PTE page table not freed. In Patch 4, I move _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY to bit 1. Because bit 6 (used in v2) can be set by some CPUs by mistake and the new swap entry format does not use bit 1-4. I also adjust two core migration functions, set_pmd_migration_entry() and remove_migration_pmd(), to use Kirill A. Shutemov's page_vma_mapped_walk() function. Patch 8 needs Kirill's comments, since I also add changes to his page_vma_mapped_walk() function with pmd_migration_entry handling. In Patch 8, I replace pmdp_huge_get_and_clear() with pmdp_huge_clear_flush() in set_pmd_migration_entry() to avoid data corruption after page migration. In Patch 9, I include is_pmd_migration_entry() in pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad(). Otherwise, a pmd_migration_entry is treated as pmd_bad and cleared, which leads to deposited PTE page table not freed. I personally use this patchset with my customized kernel to test frequent page migrations by replacing page reclaim with page migration. The bugs fixed in Patches 1-3 and 8 was discovered while I am testing my kernel. I did a 16-hour stress test that has ~7 billion total page migrations. No error or data corruption was found. General description =========================================== This patchset enhances page migration functionality to handle thp migration for various page migration's callers: - mbind(2) - move_pages(2) - migrate_pages(2) - cgroup/cpuset migration - memory hotremove - soft offline The main benefit is that we can avoid unnecessary thp splits, which helps us avoid performance decrease when your applications handles NUMA optimization on their own. The implementation is similar to that of normal page migration, the key point is that we modify a pmd to a pmd migration entry in swap-entry like format. Any comments or advices are welcomed.
