4643536474 mm: retire GUP WARN_ON_ONCE that outlived its usefulness
Trinity is now hitting the WARN_ON_ONCE we added in v3.15 commit
cda540ace6 ("mm: get_user_pages(write,force) refuse to COW in shared
areas").  The warning has served its purpose, nobody was harmed by that
change, so just remove the warning to generate less noise from Trinity.

Which reminds me of the comment I wrongly left behind with that commit
(but was spotted at the time by Kirill), which has since moved into a
separate function, and become even more obscure: delete it.

03fc2da63b mm: fix pfn_t to page conversion in vm_insert_mixed
pfn_t_to_page() honors the flags in the pfn_t value to determine if a
pfn is backed by a page.  However, vm_insert_mixed() was originally
written to use pfn_valid() to make this determination.  To restore the
old/correct behavior, ignore the pfn_t flags in the !pfn_t_devmap() case
and fallback to trusting pfn_valid().

5ccc5abaaf mm: free swap cache aggressively if memcg swap is full
Swap cache pages are freed aggressively if swap is nearly full (>50%
currently), because otherwise we are likely to stop scanning anonymous
when we near the swap limit even if there is plenty of freeable swap cache
pages.  We should follow the same trend in case of memory cgroup, which
has its own swap limit.

5c7fb56e5e mm, dax: dax-pmd vs thp-pmd vs hugetlbfs-pmd
A dax-huge-page mapping while it uses some thp helpers is ultimately not
a transparent huge page.  The distinction is especially important in the
get_user_pages() path.  pmd_devmap() is used to distinguish dax-pmds
from pmd_huge() and pmd_trans_huge() which have slightly different
semantics.

Explicitly mark the pmd_trans_huge() helpers that dax needs by adding
pmd_devmap() checks.

Convert the raw unsigned long 'pfn' argument to pfn_t for the purpose of

e90309c9f7 thp: allow mlocked THP again
Before THP refcounting rework, THP was not allowed to cross VMA
boundary.  So, if we have THP and we split it, PG_mlocked can be safely
transferred to small pages.

With new THP refcounting and naive approach to mlocking we can end up
with this scenario:
 1. we have a mlocked THP, which belong to one VM_LOCKED VMA.
 2. the process does munlock() on the *part* of the THP:
      - the VMA is split into two, one of them VM_LOCKED;
      - huge PMD split into PTE table;
      - THP is still mlocked;
 3. split_huge_page():
      - it transfers PG_mlocked to *all* small pages regrardless if it
	blong to any VM_LOCKED VMA.

We probably could munlock() all small pages on split_huge_page(), but I
think we have accounting issue already on step two.

Instead of forbidding mlocked pages altogether, we just avoid mlocking
PTE-mapped THPs and munlock THPs on split_huge_pmd().

This means PTE-mapped THPs will be on normal lru lists and will be split
under memory pressure by vmscan.  After the split vmscan will detect
unevictable small pages and mlock them.

With this approach we shouldn't hit situation like described above.

53f9263bab mm: rework mapcount accounting to enable 4k mapping of THPs
We're going to allow mapping of individual 4k pages of THP compound.  It
means we need to track mapcount on per small page basis.

Straight-forward approach is to use ->_mapcount in all subpages to track
how many time this subpage is mapped with PMDs or PTEs combined.  But
this is rather expensive: mapping or unmapping of a THP page with PMD
would require HPAGE_PMD_NR atomic operations instead of single we have
now.

The idea is to store separately how many times the page was mapped as
whole -- compound_mapcount.  This frees up ->_mapcount in subpages to
track PTE mapcount.

We use the same approach as with compound page destructor and compound
order to store compound_mapcount: use space in first tail page,
->mapping this time.

Any time we map/unmap whole compound page (THP or hugetlb) -- we
increment/decrement compound_mapcount.  When we map part of compound
page with PTE we operate on ->_mapcount of the subpage.

page_mapcount() counts both: PTE and PMD mappings of the page.

Basically, we have mapcount for a subpage spread over two counters.  It
makes tricky to detect when last mapcount for a page goes away.

We introduced PageDoubleMap() for this.  When we split THP PMD for the
first time and there's other PMD mapping left we offset up ->_mapcount
in all subpages by one and set PG_double_map on the compound page.
These additional references go away with last compound_mapcount.

This approach provides a way to detect when last mapcount goes away on
per small page basis without introducing new overhead for most common
cases.

7479df6da9 thp, mlock: do not allow huge pages in mlocked area
With new refcounting THP can belong to several VMAs.  This makes tricky
to track THP pages, when they partially mlocked.  It can lead to leaking
mlocked pages to non-VM_LOCKED vmas and other problems.

With this patch we will split all pages on mlock and avoid
fault-in/collapse new THP in VM_LOCKED vmas.

I've tried alternative approach: do not mark THP pages mlocked and keep
them on normal LRUs.  This way vmscan could try to split huge pages on
memory pressure and free up subpages which doesn't belong to VM_LOCKED
vmas.  But this is user-visible change: we screw up Mlocked accouting
reported in meminfo, so I had to leave this approach aside.

We can bring something better later, but this should be good enough for
now.

f627c2f537 memcg: adjust to support new THP refcounting
As with rmap, with new refcounting we cannot rely on PageTransHuge() to
check if we need to charge size of huge page form the cgroup.  We need
to get information from caller to know whether it was mapped with PMD or
PTE.

We do uncharge when last reference on the page gone.  At that point if
we see PageTransHuge() it means we need to unchange whole huge page.

The tricky part is partial unmap -- when we try to unmap part of huge
page.  We don't do a special handing of this situation, meaning we don't
uncharge the part of huge page unless last user is gone or
split_huge_page() is triggered.  In case of cgroup memory pressure
happens the partial unmapped page will be split through shrinker.  This
should be good enough.

always NULL, which can be inconsistent with head page and potentially
lead to problems.

Let's poison the pointer to catch all illigal uses.

page_rmapping(), page_mapping() and page_anon_vma() are changed to look
on head page.

The only illegal use I've caught so far is __GPF_COMP pages from sound
subsystem, mapped with PTEs.  do_shared_fault() is changed to use
page_rmapping() instead of direct access to fault_page->mapping.

c20cd45eb0 mm: allow GFP_{FS,IO} for page_cache_read page cache allocation
page_cache_read has been historically using page_cache_alloc_cold to
allocate a new page.  This means that mapping_gfp_mask is used as the
base for the gfp_mask.  Many filesystems are setting this mask to
GFP_NOFS to prevent from fs recursion issues.  page_cache_read is called
from the vm_operations_struct::fault() context during the page fault.
This context doesn't need the reclaim protection normally.

ceph and ocfs2 which call filemap_fault from their fault handlers seem
to be OK because they are not taking any fs lock before invoking generic
implementation.  xfs which takes XFS_MMAPLOCK_SHARED is safe from the
reclaim recursion POV because this lock serializes truncate and punch
hole with the page faults and it doesn't get involved in the reclaim.

There is simply no reason to deliberately use a weaker allocation
context when a __GFP_FS | __GFP_IO can be used.  The GFP_NOFS protection
might be even harmful.  There is a push to fail GFP_NOFS allocations
rather than loop within allocator indefinitely with a very limited
reclaim ability.  Once we start failing those requests the OOM killer
might be triggered prematurely because the page cache allocation failure
is propagated up the page fault path and end up in
pagefault_out_of_memory.

We cannot play with mapping_gfp_mask directly because that would be racy
wrt.  parallel page faults and it might interfere with other users who
really rely on NOFS semantic from the stored gfp_mask.  The mask is also
inode proper so it would even be a layering violation.  What we can do
instead is to push the gfp_mask into struct vm_fault and allow fs layer
to overwrite it should the callback need to be called with a different
allocation context.

Initialize the default to (mapping_gfp_mask | __GFP_FS | __GFP_IO)
because this should be safe from the page fault path normally.  Why do
we care about mapping_gfp_mask at all then? Because this doesn't hold
only reclaim protection flags but it also might contain zone and
movability restrictions (GFP_DMA32, __GFP_MOVABLE and others) so we have
to respect those.

eca56ff906 mm, shmem: add internal shmem resident memory accounting
Currently looking at /proc/<pid>/status or statm, there is no way to
distinguish shmem pages from pages mapped to a regular file (shmem pages
are mapped to /dev/zero), even though their implication in actual memory
use is quite different.

The internal accounting currently counts shmem pages together with
regular files.  As a preparation to extend the userspace interfaces,
this patch adds MM_SHMEMPAGES counter to mm_rss_stat to account for
shmem pages separately from MM_FILEPAGES.  The next patch will expose it
to userspace - this patch doesn't change the exported values yet, by
adding up MM_SHMEMPAGES to MM_FILEPAGES at places where MM_FILEPAGES was
used before.  The only user-visible change after this patch is the OOM
killer message that separates the reported "shmem-rss" from "file-rss".

	dax_fault does i_mmap_lock_read
	do_cow_fault does i_mmap_unlock_write

Ross's commit[1] missed a fix[2] that Kirill added to Matthew's
commit[3].

Original COW locking logic was introduced by Matthew here[4].

This should be applied to v4.3 as well.

0f90cc6609 mm, dax: fix DAX deadlocks
The following two locking commits in the DAX code:

commit 843172978b ("dax: fix race between simultaneous faults")
commit 46c043ede4 ("mm: take i_mmap_lock in unmap_mapping_range() for DAX")

introduced a number of deadlocks and other issues which need to be fixed
for the v4.3 kernel.  The list of issues in DAX after these commits
(some newly introduced by the commits, some preexisting) can be found
here:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/25/602 (Subject: "Re: [PATCH] dax: fix deadlock in __dax_fault").

This undoes most of the changes introduced by those two commits,
essentially returning us to the DAX locking scheme that was used in
v4.2.

46c043ede4 mm: take i_mmap_lock in unmap_mapping_range() for DAX
DAX is not so special: we need i_mmap_lock to protect mapping->i_mmap.

__dax_pmd_fault() uses unmap_mapping_range() shoot out zero page from
all mappings.  We need to drop i_mmap_lock there to avoid lock deadlock.

Re-aquiring the lock should be fine since we check i_size after the
point.

843172978b dax: fix race between simultaneous faults
If two threads write-fault on the same hole at the same time, the winner
of the race will return to userspace and complete their store, only to
have the loser overwrite their store with zeroes.  Fix this for now by
taking the i_mmap_sem for write instead of read, and do so outside the
call to get_block().  Now the loser of the race will see the block has
already been zeroed, and will not zero it again.

This severely limits our scalability.  I have ideas for improving it, but
those can wait for a later patch.

b533062854 mm: introduce vma_is_anonymous(vma) helper
special_mapping_fault() is absolutely broken.  It seems it was always
wrong, but this didn't matter until vdso/vvar started to use more than
one page.

And after this change vma_is_anonymous() becomes really trivial, it
simply checks vm_ops == NULL.  However, I do think the helper makes
sense.  There are a lot of ->vm_ops != NULL checks, the helper makes the
caller's code more understandable (self-documented) and this is more
grep-friendly.

This patch (of 3):

Preparation.  Add the new simple helper, vma_is_anonymous(vma), and change
handle_pte_fault() to use it.  It will have more users.

The name is not accurate, say a hpet_mmap()'ed vma is not anonymous.
Perhaps it should be named vma_has_fault() instead.  But it matches the
logic in mmap.c/memory.c (see next changes).  "True" just means that a
page fault will use do_anonymous_page().

6b251fc96c userfaultfd: call handle_userfault() for userfaultfd_missing() faults
This is where the page faults must be modified to call
handle_userfault() if userfaultfd_missing() is true (so if the
vma->vm_flags had VM_UFFD_MISSING set).

handle_userfault() then takes care of blocking the page fault and
delivering it to userland.

The fault flags must also be passed as parameter so the "read|write"
kind of fault can be passed to userland.

6b7339f4c3 mm: avoid setting up anonymous pages into file mapping
Reading page fault handler code I've noticed that under right
circumstances kernel would map anonymous pages into file mappings: if
the VMA doesn't have vm_ops->fault() and the VMA wasn't fully populated
on ->mmap(), kernel would handle page fault to not populated pte with
do_anonymous_page().

Let's change page fault handler to use do_anonymous_page() only on
anonymous VMA (->vm_ops == NULL) and make sure that the VMA is not
shared.

For file mappings without vm_ops->fault() or shred VMA without vm_ops,
page fault on pte_none() entry would lead to SIGBUS.

That is showing that 6.64% of system CPU cycles were in memcontrol.c and
dominated by mem_cgroup_try_charge.  The annotation shows that the bulk
of the cost was checking PageSwapCache which is expected to be cache hot
but is very expensive.  The problem appears to be that __SetPageUptodate
is called just before the check which is a write barrier.  It is
required to make sure struct page and page data is written before the
PTE is updated and the data visible to userspace.  memcg charging does
not require or need the barrier but gets unfairly hit with the cost so
this patch attempts the charging before the barrier.  Aside from the
accidental cost to memcg there is the added benefit that the barrier is
avoided if the page cannot be charged.  When applied the relevant
profile summary is as follows.

That brings the overhead down to 3.79% and leaves the memcg fault
accounting to the root cgroup but it's an improvement.  The difference
in headline performance of the page fault microbench is marginal as
memcg is such a small component of it.

9ec23531fd sched/preempt, mm/fault: Trigger might_sleep() in might_fault() with disabled pagefaults
Commit 662bbcb274 ("mm, sched: Allow uaccess in atomic with
pagefault_disable()") removed might_sleep() checks for all user access
code (that uses might_fault()).

The reason was to disable wrong "sleep in atomic" warnings in the
following scenario:

    pagefault_disable()
    rc = copy_to_user(...)
    pagefault_enable()

Which is valid, as pagefault_disable() increments the preempt counter
and therefore disables the pagefault handler. copy_to_user() will not
sleep and return an error code if a page is not available.

However, as all might_sleep() checks are removed,
CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP would no longer detect the following scenario:

    spin_lock(&lock);
    rc = copy_to_user(...)
    spin_unlock(&lock)

If the kernel is compiled with preemption turned on, preempt_disable()
will make in_atomic() detect disabled preemption. The fault handler would
correctly never sleep on user access.
However, with preemption turned off, preempt_disable() is usually a NOP
(with !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT), therefore in_atomic() will not be able to
detect disabled preemption nor disabled pagefaults. The fault handler
could sleep.
We really want to enable CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP checks for user access
functions again, otherwise we can end up with horrible deadlocks.

Root of all evil is that pagefault_disable() acts almost as
preempt_disable(), depending on preemption being turned on/off.

As we now have pagefault_disabled(), we can use it to distinguish
whether user acces functions might sleep.

Convert might_fault() into a makro that calls __might_fault(), to
allow proper file + line messages in case of a might_sleep() warning.

dd9061846a mm: new pfn_mkwrite same as page_mkwrite for VM_PFNMAP
This will allow FS that uses VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP (no page structs) to
get notified when access is a write to a read-only PFN.

This can happen if we mmap() a file then first mmap-read from it to
page-in a read-only PFN, than we mmap-write to the same page.

We need this functionality to fix a DAX bug, where in the scenario above
we fail to set ctime/mtime though we modified the file.  An xfstest is
attached to this patchset that shows the failure and the fix.  (A DAX
patch will follow)

This functionality is extra important for us, because upon dirtying of a
pmem page we also want to RDMA the page to a remote cluster node.

We define a new pfn_mkwrite and do not reuse page_mkwrite because
  1 - The name ;-)
  2 - But mainly because it would take a very long and tedious
      audit of all page_mkwrite functions of VM_MIXEDMAP/VM_PFNMAP
      users. To make sure they do not now CRASH. For example current
      DAX code (which this is for) would crash.
      If we would want to reuse page_mkwrite, We will need to first
      patch all users, so to not-crash-on-no-page. Then enable this
      patch. But even if I did that I would not sleep so well at night.
      Adding a new vector is the safest thing to do, and is not that
      expensive. an extra pointer at a static function vector per driver.
      Also the new vector is better for performance, because else we
      Will call all current Kernel vectors, so to:
        check-ha-no-page-do-nothing and return.

No need to call it from do_shared_fault because do_wp_page is called to
change pte permissions anyway.

2682582a6e mm/memory: also print a_ops->readpage in print_bad_pte()
A lot of filesystems use generic_file_mmap() and filemap_fault(),
f_op->mmap and vm_ops->fault aren't enough to identify filesystem.

This prints file name, vm_ops->fault, f_op->mmap and a_ops->readpage
(which is almost always implemented and filesystem-specific).

4db0c3c298 mm: remove rest of ACCESS_ONCE() usages
We converted some of the usages of ACCESS_ONCE to READ_ONCE in the mm/
tree since it doesn't work reliably on non-scalar types.

This patch removes the rest of the usages of ACCESS_ONCE, and use the new
READ_ONCE API for the read accesses.  This makes things cleaner, instead
of using separate/multiple sets of APIs.

93e478d4c3 mm: refactor do_wp_page handling of shared vma into a function
The do_wp_page function is extremely long.  Extract the logic for

2f38ab2c3c mm: refactor do_wp_page, extract the page copy flow
In some cases, do_wp_page had to copy the page suffering a write fault
to a new location.  If the function logic decided that to do this, it
was done by jumping with a "goto" operation to the relevant code block.
This made the code really hard to understand.  It is also against the
kernel coding style guidelines.

This patch extracts the page copy and page table update logic to a
separate function.  It also clean up the naming, from "gotten" to
"wp_page_copy", and adds few comments.

2876680527 mm: refactor do_wp_page - rewrite the unlock flow
When do_wp_page is ending, in several cases it needs to unlock the pages
and ptls it was accessing.

Currently, this logic was "called" by using a goto jump.  This makes
following the control flow of the function harder.  Readability was
further hampered by the unlock case containing large amount of logic
needed only in one of the 3 cases.

Using goto for cleanup is generally allowed.  However, moving the
trivial unlocking flows to the relevant call sites allow deeper
refactoring in the next patch.

4e047f8977 mm: refactor do_wp_page, extract the reuse case
Currently do_wp_page contains 265 code lines.  It also contains 9 goto
statements, of which 5 are targeting labels which are not cleanup
related.  This makes the function extremely difficult to understand.

The following patches are an attempt at breaking the function to its
basic components, and making it easier to understand.

The patches are straight forward function extractions from do_wp_page.
As we extract functions, we remove unneeded parameters and simplify the
code as much as possible.  However, the functionality is supposed to
remain completely unchanged.  The patches also attempt to document the
functionality of each extracted function.  In patch 2, we split the
unlock logic to the contain logic relevant to specific needs of each use
case, instead of having huge number of conditional decisions in a single
unlock flow.

This patch (of 4):

When do_wp_page is ending, in several cases it needs to reuse the existing
page.  This is achieved by making the page table writable, and possibly
updating the page-cache state.

Currently, this logic was "called" by using a goto jump.  This makes
following the control flow of the function harder.  It is also against the
coding style guidelines for using goto.

As the code can easily be refactored into a specialized function, refactor
it out and simplify the code flow in do_wp_page.

074c238177 mm: numa: slow PTE scan rate if migration failures occur
Dave Chinner reported the following on https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/1/226

  Across the board the 4.0-rc1 numbers are much slower, and the degradation
  is far worse when using the large memory footprint configs. Perf points
  straight at the cause - this is from 4.0-rc1 on the "-o bhash=101073" config:

   -   56.07%    56.07%  [kernel]            [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys

                 smp_call_function_many
               - native_flush_tlb_others
                  - 99.85% flush_tlb_page
                       ptep_clear_flush
                       try_to_unmap_one
                       rmap_walk
                       try_to_unmap
                       migrate_pages
                       migrate_misplaced_page
                     - handle_mm_fault
                        - 99.73% __do_page_fault
                             trace_do_page_fault
                             do_async_page_fault
                           + async_page_fault
              0.63% native_send_call_func_single_ipi
                 generic_exec_single
                 smp_call_function_single

This is showing excessive migration activity even though excessive
migrations are meant to get throttled.  Normally, the scan rate is tuned
on a per-task basis depending on the locality of faults.  However, if
migrations fail for any reason then the PTE scanner may scan faster if
the faults continue to be remote.  This means there is higher system CPU
overhead and fault trapping at exactly the time we know that migrations
cannot happen.  This patch tracks when migration failures occur and
slows the PTE scanner.

b191f9b106 mm: numa: preserve PTE write permissions across a NUMA hinting fault
Protecting a PTE to trap a NUMA hinting fault clears the writable bit
and further faults are needed after trapping a NUMA hinting fault to set
the writable bit again.  This patch preserves the writable bit when
trapping NUMA hinting faults.  The impact is obvious from the number of
minor faults trapped during the basis balancing benchmark and the system
CPU usage;

The patch looks hacky but the alternatives looked worse.  The tidest was
to rewalk the page tables after a hinting fault but it was more complex
than this approach and the performance was worse.  It's not generally
safe to just mark the page writable during the fault if it's a write
fault as it may have been read-only for COW so that approach was
discarded.

bea66fbd11 mm: numa: group related processes based on VMA flags instead of page table flags
These are three follow-on patches based on the xfsrepair workload Dave
Chinner reported was problematic in 4.0-rc1 due to changes in page table
management -- https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/1/226.

Much of the problem was reduced by commit 53da3bc2ba ("mm: fix up numa
read-only thread grouping logic") and commit ba68bc0115 ("mm: thp:
Return the correct value for change_huge_pmd").  It was known that the
performance in 3.19 was still better even if is far less safe.  This
series aims to restore the performance without compromising on safety.

bit variable.  The slowing of the scanner hurts numa01 but on this
machine it is an adverse workload and patches that dramatically help it
often hurt absolutely everything else.

Due to patch 2, the fault activity is interesting

Here the impact of slowing the PTE scanner on migratrion failures is
obvious as "NUMA base PTE updates" and "NUMA huge PMD updates" are
massively reduced even though the headline performance is very similar.

As xfsrepair was the reported workload here is the impact of the series
on it.

The really relevant lines as syst-xfsrepair which is the system CPU
usage when running xfsrepair.  Note that on my machine the overhead was
45% higher on 4.0-rc4 which may be part of what Dave is seeing.  Once we
preserve the write bit across faults, it's only 2.51% higher on average.
With the full series applied, system CPU usage is 24.6% lower on
average.

Again, the impact of preserving the write bit on minor faults is obvious
and the impact of slowing scanning after migration failures is obvious
on the PTE updates.  Note also that the number of pages migrated is much
reduced even though the headline performance is comparable.

FWIW, I also checked SPECjbb in different configurations but it's
similar observations -- minor faults lower, PTE update activity lower
and performance is roughly comparable against 3.19.

This patch (of 3):

Threads that share writable data within pages are grouped together as
related tasks.  This decision is based on whether the PTE is marked
dirty which is subject to timing races between the PTE scanner update
and when the application writes the page.  If the page is file-backed,
then background flushes and sync also affect placement.  This is
unpredictable behaviour which is impossible to reason about so this
patch makes grouping decisions based on the VMA flags.

53da3bc2ba mm: fix up numa read-only thread grouping logic
Dave Chinner reported that commit 4d94246699 ("mm: convert
p[te|md]_mknonnuma and remaining page table manipulations") slowed down
his xfsrepair test enormously.  In particular, it was using more system
time due to extra TLB flushing.

The ultimate reason turns out to be how the change to use the regular
page table accessor functions broke the NUMA grouping logic.  The old
special mknuma/mknonnuma code accessed the page table present bit and
the magic NUMA bit directly, while the new code just changes the page
protections using PROT_NONE and the regular vma protections.

That sounds equivalent, and from a fault standpoint it really is, but a
subtle side effect is that the *other* protection bits of the page table
entries also change.  And the code to decide how to group the NUMA
entries together used the writable bit to decide whether a particular
page was likely to be shared read-only or not.

And with the change to make the NUMA handling use the regular permission
setting functions, that writable bit was basically always cleared for
private mappings due to COW.  So even if the page actually ends up being
written to in the end, the NUMA balancing would act as if it was always
shared RO.

This code is a heuristic anyway, so the fix - at least for now - is to
instead check whether the page is dirty rather than writable.  The bit
doesn't change with protection changes.

NOTE! This also adds a FIXME comment to revisit this issue,

Not only should we probably re-visit the whole "is this a shared
read-only page" heuristic (we might want to take the vma permissions
into account and base this more on those than the per-page ones, and
also look at whether the particular access that triggers it is a write
or not), but the whole COW issue shows that we should think about the
NUMA fault handling some more.

For example, maybe we should do the early-COW thing that a regular fault
does.  Or maybe we should accept that while using the same bits as
PROTNONE was a good thing (and got rid of the specual NUMA bit), we
might still want to just preseve the other protection bits across NUMA
faulting.

Those are bigger questions, left for later.  This just fixes up the
heuristic so that it at least approximates working again.  More analysis
and work needed.

2e4cdab058 mm: allow page fault handlers to perform the COW
Currently COW of an XIP file is done by first bringing in a read-only
mapping, then retrying the fault and copying the page.  It is much more
efficient to tell the fault handler that a COW is being attempted (by
passing in the pre-allocated page in the vm_fault structure), and allow
the handler to perform the COW operation itself.

The handler cannot insert the page itself if there is already a read-only
mapping at that address, so allow the handler to return VM_FAULT_LOCKED
and set the fault_page to be NULL.  This indicates to the MM code that the
i_mmap_lock is held instead of the page lock.

283307c760 mm: fix XIP fault vs truncate race
DAX is a replacement for the variation of XIP currently supported by the
ext2 filesystem.  We have three different things in the tree called 'XIP',
and the new focus is on access to data rather than executables, so a name
change was in order.  DAX stands for Direct Access.  The X is for
eXciting.

The new focus on data access has resulted in more careful attention to
races that exist in the current XIP code, but are not hit by the use-case
that it was designed for.  XIP's architecture worked fine for ext2, but
DAX is architected to work with modern filsystems such as ext4 and XFS.
DAX is not intended for use with btrfs; the value that btrfs adds relies
on manipulating data and writing data to different locations, while DAX's
value is for write-in-place and keeping the kernel from touching the data.

DAX was developed in order to support NV-DIMMs, but it's become clear that
its usefuless extends beyond NV-DIMMs and there are several potential
customers including the tracing machinery.  Other people want to place the
kernel log in an area of memory, as long as they have a BIOS that does not
clear DRAM on reboot.

Patch 1 is a bug fix, probably worth including in 3.18.

Patches 2 & 3 are infrastructure for DAX.

Patches 4-8 replace the XIP code with its DAX equivalents, transforming
ext2 to use the DAX code as we go.  Note that patch 10 is the
Documentation patch.

Patches 9-15 clean up after the XIP code, removing the infrastructure
that is no longer needed and renaming various XIP things to DAX.
Most of these patches were added after Jan found things he didn't
like in an earlier version of the ext4 patch ... that had been copied
from ext2.  So ext2 i being transformed to do things the same way that
ext4 will later.  The ability to mount ext2 filesystems with the 'xip'
option is retained, although the 'dax' option is now preferred.

Patch 16 adds some DAX infrastructure to support ext4.

Patch 17 adds DAX support to ext4.  It is broadly similar to ext2's DAX
support, but it is more efficient than ext4's due to its support for
unwritten extents.

Patch 18 is another cleanup patch renaming XIP to DAX.

My thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for his reviews of the v11 patchset.  Most
of the changes below were based on his feedback.

This patch (of 18):

Pagecache faults recheck i_size after taking the page lock to ensure that
the fault didn't race against a truncate.  We don't have a page to lock in
the XIP case, so use i_mmap_lock_read() instead.  It is locked in the
truncate path in unmap_mapping_range() after updating i_size.  So while we
hold it in the fault path, we are guaranteed that either i_size has
already been updated in the truncate path, or that the truncate will
subsequently call zap_page_range_single() and so remove the mapping we
have just inserted.

There is a window of time in which i_size has been reduced and the thread
has a mapping to a page which will be removed from the file, but this is
harmless as the page will not be allocated to a different purpose before
the thread's access to it is revoked.

9cb12d7b4c mm/memory.c: actually remap enough memory
For whatever reason, generic_access_phys() only remaps one page, but
actually allows to access arbitrary size.  It's quite easy to trigger
large reads, like printing out large structure with gdb, which leads to a
crash.  Fix it by remapping correct size.

c0e7cad9f2 mm: numa: add paranoid check around pte_protnone_numa
pte_protnone_numa is only safe to use after VMA checks for PROT_NONE are
complete.  Treating a real PROT_NONE PTE as a NUMA hinting fault is going
to result in strangeness so add a check for it.  BUG_ON looks like
overkill but if this is hit then it's a serious bug that could result in
corruption so do not even try recovering.  It would have been more
comprehensive to check VMA flags in pte_protnone_numa but it would have
made the API ugly just for a debugging check.

e944fd67b6 mm: numa: do not trap faults on the huge zero page
Faults on the huge zero page are pointless and there is a BUG_ON to catch
them during fault time.  This patch reintroduces a check that avoids
marking the zero page PAGE_NONE.
