In commit 6290602709 ("mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are
waiting for a page bit") Nick Piggin made our page locking no longer
unconditionally touch the hashed page waitqueue, which not only helps
performance in general, but is particularly helpful on NUMA machines
where the hashed wait queues can bounce around a lot.
However, the "clear lock bit atomically and then test the waiters bit"
sequence turns out to be much more expensive than it needs to be,
because you get a nasty stall when trying to access the same word that
just got updated atomically.
On architectures where locking is done with LL/SC, this would be trivial
to fix with a new primitive that clears one bit and tests another
atomically, but that ends up not working on x86, where the only atomic
operations that return the result end up being cmpxchg and xadd. The
atomic bit operations return the old value of the same bit we changed,
not the value of an unrelated bit.
On x86, we could put the lock bit in the high bit of the byte, and use
"xadd" with that bit (where the overflow ends up not touching other
bits), and look at the other bits of the result. However, an even
simpler model is to just use a regular atomic "and" to clear the lock
bit, and then the sign bit in eflags will indicate the resulting state
of the unrelated bit #7.
So by moving the PageWaiters bit up to bit #7, we can atomically clear
the lock bit and test the waiters bit on x86 too. And architectures
with LL/SC (which is all the usual RISC suspects), the particular bit
doesn't matter, so they are fine with this approach too.
This avoids the extra access to the same atomic word, and thus avoids
the costly stall at page unlock time.
The only downside is that the interface ends up being a bit odd and
specialized: clear a bit in a byte, and test the sign bit. Nick doesn't
love the resulting name of the new primitive, but I'd rather make the
name be descriptive and very clear about the limitation imposed by
trying to work across all relevant architectures than make it be some
generic thing that doesn't make the odd semantics explicit.
So this introduces the new architecture primitive
clear_bit_unlock_is_negative_byte();
and adds the trivial implementation for x86. We have a generic
non-optimized fallback (that just does a "clear_bit()"+"test_bit(7)"
combination) which can be overridden by any architecture that can do
better. According to Nick, Power has the same hickup x86 has, for
example, but some other architectures may not even care.
All these optimizations mean that my page locking stress-test (which is
just executing a lot of small short-lived shell scripts: "make test" in
the git source tree) no longer makes our page locking look horribly bad.
Before all these optimizations, just the unlock_page() costs were just
over 3% of all CPU overhead on "make test". After this, it's down to
0.66%, so just a quarter of the cost it used to be.
(The difference on NUMA is bigger, but there this micro-optimization is
likely less noticeable, since the big issue on NUMA was not the accesses
to 'struct page', but the waitqueue accesses that were already removed
by Nick's earlier commit).

Add a new page flag, PageWaiters, to indicate the page waitqueue has
tasks waiting. This can be tested rather than testing waitqueue_active
which requires another cacheline load.
This bit is always set when the page has tasks on page_waitqueue(page),
and is set and cleared under the waitqueue lock. It may be set when
there are no tasks on the waitqueue, which will cause a harmless extra
wakeup check that will clears the bit.
The generic bit-waitqueue infrastructure is no longer used for pages.
Instead, waitqueues are used directly with a custom key type. The
generic code was not flexible enough to have PageWaiters manipulation
under the waitqueue lock (which simplifies concurrency).
This improves the performance of page lock intensive microbenchmarks by
2-3%.
Putting two bits in the same word opens the opportunity to remove the
memory barrier between clearing the lock bit and testing the waiters
bit, after some work on the arch primitives (e.g., ensuring memory
operand widths match and cover both bits).

When FADV_DONTNEED cannot drop all pages in the range, it observes that
some pages might still be on per-cpu LRU caches after recent
instantiation and so initiates remote calls to all CPUs to flush their
local caches. However, in most cases, the fadvise happens from the same
context that instantiated the pages, and any pre-LRU pages in the
specified range are most likely sitting on the local CPU's LRU cache,
and so in many cases this results in unnecessary remote calls, which, in
a loaded system, can hold up the fadvise() call significantly.
[ I didn't record it in the extreme case we observed at Facebook,
unfortunately. We had a slow-to-respond system and noticed it
lru_add_drain_all() leading the profile during fadvise calls. This
patch came out of thinking about the code and how we commonly call
FADV_DONTNEED.
FWIW, I wrote a silly directory tree walker/searcher that recurses
through /usr to read and FADV_DONTNEED each file it finds. On a 2
socket 40 ht machine, over 1% is spent in lru_add_drain_all(). With
the patch, that cost is gone; the local drain cost shows at 0.09%. ]
Try to avoid the remote call by flushing the local LRU cache before even
attempting to invalidate anything. It's a cheap operation, and the
local LRU cache is the most likely to hold any pre-LRU pages in the
specified fadvise range.

Pull partial readlink cleanups from Miklos Szeredi.
This is the uncontroversial part of the readlink cleanup patch-set that
simplifies the default readlink handling.
Miklos and Al are still discussing the rest of the series.
* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs:
vfs: make generic_readlink() static
vfs: remove ".readlink = generic_readlink" assignments
vfs: default to generic_readlink()

Merge more updates from Andrew Morton:
- a few misc things
- kexec updates
- DMA-mapping updates to better support networking DMA operations
- IPC updates
- various MM changes to improve DAX fault handling
- lots of radix-tree changes, mainly to the test suite. All leading up
to reimplementing the IDA/IDR code to be a wrapper layer over the
radix-tree. However the final trigger-pulling patch is held off for
4.11.

This is an exceptionally complicated function with just one caller
(tag_pages_for_writeback). We devote a large portion of the runtime of
the test suite to testing this one function which has one caller. By
introducing the new function radix_tree_iter_tag_set(), we can eliminate
all of the complexity while keeping the performance. The caller can now
use a fairly standard radix_tree_for_each() loop, and it doesn't need to
worry about tricksy things like 'start' wrapping.
The test suite continues to spend a large amount of time investigating
this function, but now it's testing the underlying primitives such as
radix_tree_iter_resume() and the radix_tree_for_each_tagged() iterator
which are also used by other parts of the kernel.

This fixes several interlinked problems with the iterators in the
presence of multiorder entries.
1. radix_tree_iter_next() would only advance by one slot, which would
result in the iterators returning the same entry more than once if
there were sibling entries.
2. radix_tree_next_slot() could return an internal pointer instead of
a user pointer if a tagged multiorder entry was immediately followed by
an entry of lower order.
3. radix_tree_next_slot() expanded to a lot more code than it used to
when multiorder support was compiled in. And I wasn't comfortable with
entry_to_node() being in a header file.
Fixing radix_tree_iter_next() for the presence of sibling entries
necessarily involves examining the contents of the radix tree, so we now
need to pass 'slot' to radix_tree_iter_next(), and we need to change the
calling convention so it is called *before* dropping the lock which
protects the tree. Also rename it to radix_tree_iter_resume(), as some
people thought it was necessary to call radix_tree_iter_next() each time
around the loop.
radix_tree_next_slot() becomes closer to how it looked before multiorder
support was introduced. It only checks to see if the next entry in the
chunk is a sibling entry or a pointer to a node; this should be rare
enough that handling this case out of line is not a performance impact
(and such impact is amortised by the fact that the entry we just
processed was a multiorder entry). Also, radix_tree_next_slot() used to
force a new chunk lookup for untagged entries, which is more expensive
than the out of line sibling entry skipping.

Currently finish_mkwrite_fault() returns 0 when PTE got changed before
we acquired PTE lock and VM_FAULT_WRITE when we succeeded in modifying
the PTE. This is somewhat confusing since 0 generally means success, it
is also inconsistent with finish_fault() which returns 0 on success.
Change finish_mkwrite_fault() to return 0 on success and VM_FAULT_NOPAGE
when PTE changed. Practically, there should be no behavioral difference
since we bail out from the fault the same way regardless whether we
return 0, VM_FAULT_NOPAGE, or VM_FAULT_WRITE. Also note that
VM_FAULT_WRITE has no effect for shared mappings since the only two
places that check it - KSM and GUP - care about private mappings only.
Generally the meaning of VM_FAULT_WRITE for shared mappings is not well
defined and we should probably clean that up.

Patch series "dax: Clear dirty bits after flushing caches", v5.
Patchset to clear dirty bits from radix tree of DAX inodes when caches
for corresponding pfns have been flushed. In principle, these patches
enable handlers to easily update PTEs and do other work necessary to
finish the fault without duplicating the functionality present in the
generic code. I'd like to thank Kirill and Ross for reviews of the
series!
This patch (of 20):
To allow full handling of COW faults add memcg field to struct vm_fault
and a return value of ->fault() handler meaning that COW fault is fully
handled and memcg charge must not be canceled. This will allow us to
remove knowledge about special DAX locking from the generic fault code.
