[v8,03/10] mm: thp: Introduce multi-size THP sysfs interface
Commit Message
In preparation for adding support for anonymous multi-size THP,
introduce new sysfs structure that will be used to control the new
behaviours. A new directory is added under transparent_hugepage for each
supported THP size, and contains an `enabled` file, which can be set to
"inherit" (to inherit the global setting), "always", "madvise" or
"never". For now, the kernel still only supports PMD-sized anonymous
THP, so only 1 directory is populated.
The first half of the change converts transhuge_vma_suitable() and
hugepage_vma_check() so that they take a bitfield of orders for which
the user wants to determine support, and the functions filter out all
the orders that can't be supported, given the current sysfs
configuration and the VMA dimensions. If there is only 1 order set in
the input then the output can continue to be treated like a boolean;
this is the case for most call sites. The resulting functions are
renamed to thp_vma_suitable_orders() and thp_vma_allowable_orders()
respectively.
The second half of the change implements the new sysfs interface. It has
been done so that each supported THP size has a `struct thpsize`, which
describes the relevant metadata and is itself a kobject. This is pretty
minimal for now, but should make it easy to add new per-thpsize files to
the interface if needed in future (e.g. per-size defrag). Rather than
keep the `enabled` state directly in the struct thpsize, I've elected to
directly encode it into huge_anon_orders_[always|madvise|inherit]
bitfields since this reduces the amount of work required in
thp_vma_allowable_orders() which is called for every page fault.
See Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst, as modified by this
commit, for details of how the new sysfs interface works.

For small-size THP, collapse is probably a bad idea. we like a one-shot
try in Android especially we are using a 64KB and less large folio size. if
PF succeeds in getting large folios, we map large folios, otherwise we
give up as those memories can be quite unstably swapped-out, swapped-in
and madvised to be DONTNEED.
too many compactions will increase power consumption and decrease UI
response.

Understood; that's very useful information for the Android context. Multiple
people have made comments about eventually needing khugepaged (or something
similar) support in the server context though to async collapse to contpte size.
Actually one suggestion was a user space daemon that scans and collapses with
MADV_COLLAPSE. I suspect the key will be to ensure whatever solution we go for
is flexible and can be enabled/disabled/configured for the different environments.

There certainly is interest for 2 MiB THP on arm64 64k where the THP
size would normally be 512 MiB. In that scenario, khugepaged makes
perfect sense.

Indeed

Some comments mostly regarding thp_vma_allowable_orders and friends. In
general, LGTM. I'll have to go over the order logic once again, I got a
bit lost once we started mixing anon and file orders.

Doc updates all looked good to me, skimming over them.

nit: "highest_order" or "largest_order" would be more expressive

Comment: Codying style wants you to use if () {} else {}
But I'd recommend for the conditions:
if (haddr < vma->vm_start ||
haddr + hpage_size > vma->vm_end)
continue;
/* Don't have to check pgoff for anonymous vma */
if (!vma_is_anonymous(vma))

Comment: if this is called from some hot path, we might want to move as
much as possible into a header, so we can avoid this function call here
when e.g., THP are completely disabled etc.

Comment: you'd want a "thp_vma_suitable_order" helper here. But maybe
the compiler is smart enough to optimize the loop and everyything else out.

Note: I was wondering for a second if some concurrent cames could lead
to an inconsistent state. I think in the worst case we'll simply end up
with "never" on races.

If THP is completely disabled (compiled out) then thp_vma_allowable_orders() is
defined as a header inline that returns 0. I'm not sure there are any paths in
practice which are likely to ask for a set of orders which are never supported
(i.e. where this specific check would return 0). And the "are they run time
enabled" check is further down and fairly involved, so not sure that's ideal for
an inline.
I haven't changed the pattern from how it was previously, so I don't think it
should be any more expensive. Which parts exactly do you want to move to a header?

I'm happy to refactor so that thp_vma_suitable_order() is the basic primitive,
then make thp_vma_suitable_orders() a loop that calls thp_vma_suitable_order()
(that's basically how it is laid out already, just all in one function). Is that
what you are requesting?

You mean if different threads try to write different values to this file
concurrently? Or if there is a concurrent fault that tries to read the flags
while they are being modified?
I thought about this for a long time too and wasn't sure what was best. The
existing global enabled store impl clears the bits first then sets the bit. With
this approach you can end up with multiple bits set if there is a race to set
diffierent values, and you can end up with a faulting thread seeing never if it
reads the bits after they have been cleared but before setting them.
I decided to set the new bit before clearing the old bits, which is different; A
racing fault will never see "never" but as you say, a race to set the file could
result in "never" being set.
On reflection, it's probably best to set the bit *last* like the global control
does?

I'm happy to do this and use it to improve readability:
#define thp_vma_allowable_order(..., order) \
thp_vma_allowable_orders(..., BIT(order))
This wouldn't make the implementation any faster though; Are you suggesting a
completely separate impl? Even then, I don't think there is much scope to make
it faster for the case where there is only 1 order in the bitfield.

FYI I ended up NOT taking this, because I now have thp_vma_suitable_order() and
thp_vma_suitable_orders(). The former is essentially what was there before
(except I pass the order and derive the nr_pages, alignment, etc from that
rather than using the HPAGE_* macros. The latter is just a loop that calls the
former for each order in the bitfield.

As per my response against the next patch (#4), I have now implemented
thp_vma_allowable_orders() so that the order check is in the header with an
early exit if THP is completely disabled.

I thought about what you said first, but what you said last might also
apply. As long as "nothing breaks", all good.

Right, but user space is playing stupid games and can win stupid prices.
As long as nothing breaks, we're good.

Probably might just slap a simple spinlock in there, so at least the
writer side is completely serialized. Then you can just set the bit
last. It's unlikely that readers will actually run into issues, and if
they ever would, we could use some rcu magic to let them read a
consistent state.

I'd prefer to leave it as it is now; clear first, set last without any explicit
serialization. I've convinced myself that nothing breaks and its the same
pattern used by the global control so its consistent. Unless you're insisting on
the spin lock?

No, not at all. But it would certainly remove any possible concerns :)

the two is using hugepages just because of the fact the TLB miss is

+Modern kernels support "multi-size THP" (mTHP), which introduces the
+ability to allocate memory in blocks that are bigger than a base page
+but smaller than traditional PMD-size (as described above), in
+increments of a power-of-2 number of pages. mTHP can back anonymous
+memory (for example 16K, 32K, 64K, etc). These THPs continue to be
+PTE-mapped, but in many cases can still provide similar benefits to
+those outlined above: Page faults are significantly reduced (by a
+factor of e.g. 4, 8, 16, etc), but latency spikes are much less
+prominent because the size of each page isn't as huge as the PMD-sized
+variant and there is less memory to clear in each page fault. Some
+architectures also employ TLB compression mechanisms to squeeze more
+entries in when a set of PTEs are virtually and physically contiguous
+and approporiately aligned. In this case, TLB misses will occur less
+often.

THP can be enabled system wide or restricted to certain tasks or even
memory ranges inside task's address space. Unless THP is completely
