Subject: mm/gup: reintroduce FOLL_NUMA as FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT
From: David Hildenbrand <david@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit d74943a2f3cdade34e471b36f55f7979be656867 upstream.
Unfortunately commit 474098edac26 ("mm/gup: replace FOLL_NUMA by
gup_can_follow_protnone()") missed that follow_page() and
follow_trans_huge_pmd() never implicitly set FOLL_NUMA because they really
don't want to fail on PROT_NONE-mapped pages -- either due to NUMA hinting
or due to inaccessible (PROT_NONE) VMAs.
As spelled out in commit 0b9d705297b2 ("mm: numa: Support NUMA hinting
page faults from gup/gup_fast"): "Other follow_page callers like KSM
should not use FOLL_NUMA, or they would fail to get the pages if they use
follow_page instead of get_user_pages."
liubo reported [1] that smaps_rollup results are imprecise, because they
miss accounting of pages that are mapped PROT_NONE. Further, it's easy to
reproduce that KSM no longer works on inaccessible VMAs on x86-64, because
pte_protnone()/pmd_protnone() also indictaes "true" in inaccessible VMAs,
and follow_page() refuses to return such pages right now.
As KVM really depends on these NUMA hinting faults, removing the
pte_protnone()/pmd_protnone() handling in GUP code completely is not
really an option.
To fix the issues at hand, let's revive FOLL_NUMA as FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT
to restore the original behavior for now and add better comments.
Set FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT independent of FOLL_FORCE in
is_valid_gup_args(), to add that flag for all external GUP users.
Note that there are three GUP-internal __get_user_pages() users that don't
end up calling is_valid_gup_args() and consequently won't get
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT set.
1) get_dump_page(): we really don't want to handle NUMA hinting
faults. It specifies FOLL_FORCE and wouldn't have honored NUMA
hinting faults already.
2) populate_vma_page_range(): we really don't want to handle NUMA hinting
faults. It specifies FOLL_FORCE on accessible VMAs, so it wouldn't have
honored NUMA hinting faults already.
3) faultin_vma_page_range(): we similarly don't want to handle NUMA
hinting faults.
To make the combination of FOLL_FORCE and FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT work in
inaccessible VMAs properly, we have to perform VMA accessibility checks in
gup_can_follow_protnone().
As GUP-fast should reject such pages either way in
pte_access_permitted()/pmd_access_permitted() -- for example on x86-64 and
arm64 that both implement pte_protnone() -- let's just always fallback to
ordinary GUP when stumbling over pte_protnone()/pmd_protnone().
As Linus notes [2], honoring NUMA faults might only make sense for
selected GUP users.
So we should really see if we can instead let relevant GUP callers specify
it manually, and not trigger NUMA hinting faults from GUP as default.
Prepare for that by making FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT an external GUP flag and
adding appropriate documenation.
While at it, remove a stale comment from follow_trans_huge_pmd(): That
comment for pmd_protnone() was added in commit 2b4847e73004 ("mm: numa:
serialise parallel get_user_page against THP migration"), which noted:
THP does not unmap pages due to a lack of support for migration
entries at a PMD level. This allows races with get_user_pages
Nowadays, we do have PMD migration entries, so the comment no longer
applies. Let's drop it.
