mm: Cleanup faultaround and finish_fault() codepaths

alloc_set_pte() has two users with different requirements: in the
faultaround code, it called from an atomic context and PTE page table
has to be preallocated. finish_fault() can sleep and allocate page table
as needed.

PTL locking rules are also strange, hard to follow and overkill for
finish_fault().

Let's untangle the mess. alloc_set_pte() has gone now. All locking is
explicit.

The price is some code duplication to handle huge pages in faultaround
path, but it should be fine, having overall improvement in readability.

Then in generic_file_buffered_read_get_pages() find_get_pages_contig()

I struggled to understand the comment above move_pages_to_lru() (surely
it never calls page_referenced()), and eventually realized that most of
it had got separated from shrink_active_list(): move that comment back.

mm: memcontrol: add file_thp, shmem_thp to memory.stat

As huge page usage in the page cache and for shmem files proliferates in
our production environment, the performance monitoring team has asked for
per-cgroup stats on those pages.

We already track and export anon_thp per cgroup. We already track file
THP and shmem THP per node, so making them per-cgroup is only a matter of
switching from node to lruvec counters. All callsites are in places where
the pages are charged and locked, so page->memcg is stable.

mm/filemap.c: generic_file_buffered_read() now uses find_get_pages_contig

Convert generic_file_buffered_read() to get pages to read from in batches,
and then copy data to userspace from many pages at once - in particular,
we now don't touch any cachelines that might be contended while we're in
the loop to copy data to userspace.

This is is a performance improvement on workloads that do buffered reads
with large blocksizes, and a very large performance improvement if that
file is also being accessed concurrently by different threads.

On smaller reads (512 bytes), there's a very small performance improvement
(1%, within the margin of error).

mm/filemap/c: break generic_file_buffered_read up into multiple functions

Patch series "generic_file_buffered_read() improvements", v2.

generic_file_buffered_read() has turned into a real monstrosity to work
with. And it's a major performance improvement, for both small random and
large sequential reads. On my test box, 4k buffered random reads go from
~150k to ~250k iops, and the improvements to big sequential reads are even
bigger.

This incorporates the fix for IOCB_WAITQ handling that Jens just posted as
well, also factors out lock_page_for_iocb() to improve handling of the
various iocb flags.

This patch (of 2):

This is prep work for changing generic_file_buffered_read() to use
find_get_pages_contig() to batch up all the pagecache lookups.

This patch should be functionally identical to the existing code and
changes as little as of the flow control as possible. More refactoring
could be done, this patch is intended to be relatively minimal.

mm: fix VM_BUG_ON(PageTail) and BUG_ON(PageWriteback)

Twice now, when exercising ext4 looped on shmem huge pages, I have crashed
on the PF_ONLY_HEAD check inside PageWaiters(): ext4_finish_bio() calling
end_page_writeback() calling wake_up_page() on tail of a shmem huge page,
no longer an ext4 page at all.

The problem is that PageWriteback is not accompanied by a page reference
(as the NOTE at the end of test_clear_page_writeback() acknowledges): as
soon as TestClearPageWriteback has been done, that page could be removed
from page cache, freed, and reused for something else by the time that
wake_up_page() is reached.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200827122019.GC14765@casper.infradead.org/
Matthew Wilcox suggested avoiding or weakening the PageWaiters() tail
check; but I'm paranoid about even looking at an unreferenced struct page,
lest its memory might itself have already been reused or hotremoved (and
wake_up_page_bit() may modify that memory with its ClearPageWaiters()).

Then on crashing a second time, realized there's a stronger reason against
that approach. If my testing just occasionally crashes on that check,
when the page is reused for part of a compound page, wouldn't it be much
more common for the page to get reused as an order-0 page before reaching
wake_up_page()? And on rare occasions, might that reused page already be
marked PageWriteback by its new user, and already be waited upon? What
would that look like?

It would look like BUG_ON(PageWriteback) after wait_on_page_writeback()
in write_cache_pages() (though I have never seen that crash myself).

Matthew Wilcox explaining this to himself:
"page is allocated, added to page cache, dirtied, writeback starts,

--- thread A ---
filesystem calls end_page_writeback()
test_clear_page_writeback()
--- context switch to thread B ---
truncate_inode_pages_range() finds the page, it doesn't have writeback set,
we delete it from the page cache. Page gets reallocated, dirtied, writeback
starts again. Then we call write_cache_pages(), see
PageWriteback() set, call wait_on_page_writeback()
--- context switch back to thread A ---
wake_up_page(page, PG_writeback);
... thread B is woken, but because the wakeup was for the old use of
the page, PageWriteback is still set.

Devious"

And prior to 2a9127fcf229 ("mm: rewrite wait_on_page_bit_common() logic")
this would have been much less likely: before that, wake_page_function()'s
non-exclusive case would stop walking and not wake if it found Writeback
already set again; whereas now the non-exclusive case proceeds to wake.

I have not thought of a fix that does not add a little overhead: the
simplest fix is for end_page_writeback() to get_page() before calling
test_clear_page_writeback(), then put_page() after wake_up_page().

Was there a chance of missed wakeups before, since a page freed before
reaching wake_up_page() would have PageWaiters cleared? I think not,
because each waiter does hold a reference on the page. This bug comes
when the old use of the page, the one we do TestClearPageWriteback on,
had *no* waiters, so no additional page reference beyond the page cache
(and whoever racily freed it). The reuse of the page has a waiter
holding a reference, and its own PageWriteback set; but the belated
wake_up_page() has woken the reuse to hit that BUG_ON(PageWriteback).

mm/filemap: fix storing to a THP shadow entry

When a THP is removed from the page cache by reclaim, we replace it with a
shadow entry that occupies all slots of the XArray previously occupied by
the THP. If the user then accesses that page again, we only allocate a
single page, but storing it into the shadow entry replaces all entries
with that one page. That leads to bugs like

This is hard to reproduce with mainline, but happens regularly with the
THP patchset (as so many more THPs are created). This solution is take
from the THP patchset. It splits the shadow entry into order-0 pieces at
the time that we bring a new page into cache.

vfs: move generic_remap_checks out of mm

I would like to move all the generic helpers for the vfs remap range
functionality (aka clonerange and dedupe) into a separate file so that
they won't be scattered across the vfs and the mm subsystems. The
eventual goal is to be able to deselect remap_range.c if none of the
filesystems need that code, but the tricky part here is picking a
stable(ish) part of the merge window to rearrange code.

mm/filemap: fix filemap_map_pages for THP

We dereference page->mapping and page->index directly after calling
find_subpage() and these fields are not valid for tail pages. While
commit 4101196b19d7 ("mm: page cache: store only head pages in i_pages")
introduced the call to find_subpage(), the problem existed prior to this;
I'm going to suggest all the way back to when THPs first existed.

The user-visible effects of this are almost negligible. To hit it, you
have to mmap a tmpfs file at an unaligned address and then it's only a
disabled optimisation causing page faults to happen more frequently than
they otherwise would.

Fix this by keeping both head and page pointers and checking the
appropriate one. We could use page_mapping() and page_to_index(), but
that's higher overhead.

There are only four callers remaining of find_get_entry().

care about which page is returned. Push the find_subpage() call into
find_lock_entry(), find_get_incore_page() and pagecache_get_page().
