mm: support multi-size THP numa balancing
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Now the anonymous page allocation already supports multi-size THP (mTHP),
but the numa balancing still prohibits mTHP migration even though it is an
exclusive mapping, which is unreasonable.

Allow scanning mTHP:
Commit 859d4ad ("mm: numa: do not trap faults on shared data section
pages") skips shared CoW pages' NUMA page migration to avoid shared data
segment migration. In addition, commit 80d47f5 ("mm: don't try to
NUMA-migrate COW pages that have other uses") change to use page_count()
to avoid GUP pages migration, that will also skip the mTHP numa scanning.
Theoretically, we can use folio_maybe_dma_pinned() to detect the GUP
issue, although there is still a GUP race, the issue seems to have been
resolved by commit 80d47f5. Meanwhile, use the folio_likely_mapped_shared()
to skip shared CoW pages though this is not a precise sharers count. To
check if the folio is shared, ideally we want to make sure every page is
mapped to the same process, but doing that seems expensive and using
the estimated mapcount seems can work when running autonuma benchmark.

Allow migrating mTHP:
As mentioned in the previous thread[1], large folios (including THP) are
more susceptible to false sharing issues among threads than 4K base page,
leading to pages ping-pong back and forth during numa balancing, which is
currently not easy to resolve. Therefore, as a start to support mTHP numa
balancing, we can follow the PMD mapped THP's strategy, that means we can
reuse the 2-stage filter in should_numa_migrate_memory() to check if the
mTHP is being heavily contended among threads (through checking the CPU id
and pid of the last access) to avoid false sharing at some degree. Thus,
we can restore all PTE maps upon the first hint page fault of a large folio
to follow the PMD mapped THP's strategy. In the future, we can continue to
optimize the NUMA balancing algorithm to avoid the false sharing issue with
large folios as much as possible.
