Subject: mm/huge_memory: avoid PMD-size page cache if needed
Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2024 20:48:40 +1000

Currently, xarray can't support arbitrary page cache size and the largest
and supported page cache size is defined as MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER in commit
099d90642a71 ("mm/filemap: make MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER acceptable to
xarray").  However, it's possible to have 512MB page cache in the huge
memory collapsing path on ARM64 system whose base page size is 64KB.  A
warning is raised when the huge page cache is split as shown in the
following example.

[root@dhcp-10-26-1-207 ~]# cat /proc/1/smaps | grep KernelPageSize
KernelPageSize:       64 kB
[root@dhcp-10-26-1-207 ~]# cat /tmp/test.c
   :
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	const char *filename = TEST_XFS_FILENAME;
	int fd = 0;
	void *buf = (void *)-1, *p;
	int pgsize = getpagesize();
	int ret = 0;

	if (pgsize != 0x10000) {
		fprintf(stdout, "System with 64KB base page size is required!\n");
		return -EPERM;
	}

	system("echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/253:0/read_ahead_kb");
	system("echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches");

	/* Open xfs or shmem file */
	fd = open(filename, O_RDONLY);
	assert(fd > 0);

	/* Create VMA */
	buf = mmap(NULL, TEST_MEM_SIZE, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
	assert(buf != (void *)-1);
	fprintf(stdout, "mapped buffer at 0x%p\n", buf);

	/* Populate VMA */
	ret = madvise(buf, TEST_MEM_SIZE, MADV_NOHUGEPAGE);
	assert(ret == 0);
	ret = madvise(buf, TEST_MEM_SIZE, MADV_POPULATE_READ);
	assert(ret == 0);

	/* Collapse VMA */
	ret = madvise(buf, TEST_MEM_SIZE, MADV_HUGEPAGE);
	assert(ret == 0);
	ret = madvise(buf, TEST_MEM_SIZE, MADV_COLLAPSE);
	if (ret) {
		fprintf(stdout, "Error %d to madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE)\n", errno);
		goto out;
	}

	/* Split xarray. The file needs to reopened with write permission */
	munmap(buf, TEST_MEM_SIZE);
	buf = (void *)-1;
	close(fd);
	fd = open(filename, O_RDWR);
	assert(fd > 0);
	fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE | FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE,
 		  TEST_MEM_SIZE - pgsize, pgsize);
out:
	if (buf != (void *)-1)
		munmap(buf, TEST_MEM_SIZE);
	if (fd > 0)
		close(fd);

	return ret;
}

Fix it by avoiding PMD-sized page cache in the huge memory collapsing
path.  After this patch is applied, the test program fails with error
-EINVAL returned from __thp_vma_allowable_orders() and the madvise()
system call to collapse the page caches.
