This is somewhat tangential, but I agree that ENOSYS (or some other errno, but ENOSYS makes most sense to me, after EINVAL, (ENOTSUP?)) should be anointed the dedicated return value for "madvise mode not supported". Ran into this recently when wanting some form of feature detection for MADV_COLLAPSE where EINVAL is overloaded (including madvise mode not supported).

Do you mean specifically SCAN_CGROUP_CHARGE_FAIL? At least going by the comment above do_madvise(), and in the man pages, for ENOMEM: "Addresses in the specified range are not currently mapped, or are outside the address space of the process." doesn't really apply here (though I don't know if "A kernel resource was temporarily unavailable" applies any better). That said, should we differentiate between allocation and charging failure? At least in the case of a userspace agent using process_madvise(2) to collapse memory on behalf of others, knowing "this memcg is at its limit" vs "no THPs available" would be valuable.

So, it is better to check vma size upfront. This actually does check the vma size, but it's subtle. hstart and hend are clamped to the first/last hugepaged-aligned address covered by [start,end], which are themselves contained in vma->vm_start/vma->vm_end, respectively. We then check that addr = hstart < hend ; so if the main loop passes the first check, we know that vma->vm_start <= addr and addr + HPAGE_PMD_SIZE <= vma->vma_end. Agreed that we might be needlessly doing mmgrab() and lru_add_drain() needlessly though. > BTW, my series moved the vma size check in hugepage_vma_check(), so if > your series could be based on top of that, you get that for free.

Transparently, I've only had success hitting this logic on small vms under selftests. That said, it does happen, and I can't imagine this hurting, especially on larger systems + tasks using lots of mem. Originally, I didn't plan to do this, but as things shook out and we had SCAN_PAGE_LRU so readily available, it seemed like we got this for free. > > + } > > + fallthrough; > > + default: > > + last_fail = result; > > + /* Other error, exit */ > > + goto out_maybelock; > > + } > > + } > > + > > +out_maybelock: > > + /* Caller expects us to hold mmap_lock on return */ > > + if (!mmap_locked) > > + mmap_read_lock(mm); > > +out_nolock: > > + mmap_assert_locked(mm); > > + mmdrop(mm); > > + > > + return thps == ((hend - hstart) >> HPAGE_PMD_SHIFT) ? 0 > > + : madvise_collapse_errno(last_fail); > > +} > > diff --git a/mm/madvise.c b/mm/madvise.c > > index 46feb62ce163..eccac2620226 100644 > > --- a/mm/madvise.c > > +++ b/mm/madvise.c > > @@ -59,6 +59,7 @@ static int madvise_need_mmap_write(int behavior) > > case MADV_FREE: > > case MADV_POPULATE_READ: > > case MADV_POPULATE_WRITE: > > + case MADV_COLLAPSE: > > return 0; > > default: > > /* be safe, default to 1. list exceptions explicitly */ > > @@ -1057,6 +1058,8 @@ static int madvise_vma_behavior(struct vm_area_struct *vma, > > if (error) > > goto out; > > break; > > + case MADV_COLLAPSE: > > + return madvise_collapse(vma, prev, start, end); > > } > > > > anon_name = anon_vma_name(vma); > > @@ -1150,6 +1153,7 @@ madvise_behavior_valid(int behavior) > > #ifdef CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE > > case MADV_HUGEPAGE: > > case MADV_NOHUGEPAGE: > > + case MADV_COLLAPSE: > > #endif > > case MADV_DONTDUMP: > > case MADV_DODUMP: > > @@ -1339,6 +1343,7 @@ int madvise_set_anon_name(struct mm_struct *mm, unsigned long start, > > * MADV_NOHUGEPAGE - mark the given range as not worth being backed by > > * transparent huge pages so the existing pages will not be > > * coalesced into THP and new pages will not be allocated as THP. > > + * MADV_COLLAPSE - synchronously coalesce pages into new THP. > > * MADV_DONTDUMP - the application wants to prevent pages in the given range > > * from being included in its core dump. > > * MADV_DODUMP - cancel MADV_DONTDUMP: no longer exclude from core dump. > > -- > > 2.36.1.255.ge46751e96f-goog > >
