Hi,
This applies cleanly to linux-next and mmotm, and also to linux.git if linux-next's commit 20cac10710c9 ("mm/gup_benchmark: fix MAP_HUGETLB case") is first applied there.
This provides tracking of dma-pinned pages. This is a prerequisite to solving the larger problem of proper interactions between file-backed pages, and [R]DMA activities, as discussed in [1], [2], [3], and in a remarkable number of email threads since about 2017. :)
A new internal gup flag, FOLL_PIN is introduced, and thoroughly documented in the last patch's Documentation/vm/pin_user_pages.rst.
I believe that this will provide a good starting point for doing the layout lease work that Ira Weiny has been working on. That's because these new wrapper functions provide a clean, constrained, systematically named set of functionality that, again, is required in order to even know if a page is "dma-pinned".
In contrast to earlier approaches, the page tracking can be incrementally applied to the kernel call sites that, until now, have been simply calling get_user_pages() ("gup"). In other words, opt-in by changing from this:
get_user_pages() (sets FOLL_GET) put_page()
to this: pin_user_pages() (sets FOLL_PIN) put_user_page()
Because there are interdependencies with FOLL_LONGTERM, a similar conversion as for FOLL_PIN, was applied. The change was from this:
get_user_pages(FOLL_LONGTERM) (also sets FOLL_GET) put_page()
to this: pin_longterm_pages() (sets FOLL_PIN | FOLL_LONGTERM) put_user_page()
============================================================ Patch summary:
* Patches 1-4: refactoring and preparatory cleanup, independent fixes (Patch 4: V4L2-core bug fix (can be separately applied))
* Patch 5: introduce pin_user_pages(), FOLL_PIN, but no functional changes yet * Patches 6-11: Convert existing put_user_page() callers, to use the new pin*() * Patch 12: Activate tracking of FOLL_PIN pages. * Patches 13-15: convert FOLL_LONGTERM callers * Patches: 16-17: gup_benchmark and run_vmtests support * Patch 18: enforce FOLL_LONGTERM as a gup-internal (only) flag * Patch 19: Documentation/vm/pin_user_pages.rst
============================================================ Testing:
* I've done some overall kernel testing (LTP, and a few other goodies), and some directed testing to exercise some of the changes. And as you can see, gup_benchmark is enhanced to exercise this. Basically, I've been able to runtime test the core get_user_pages() and pin_user_pages() and related routines, but not so much on several of the call sites--but those are generally just a couple of lines changed, each.
Not much of the kernel is actually using this, which on one hand reduces risk quite a lot. But on the other hand, testing coverage is low. So I'd love it if, in particular, the Infiniband and PowerPC folks could do a smoke test of this series for me.
Also, my runtime testing for the call sites so far is very weak:
* io_uring: Some directed tests from liburing exercise this, and they pass. * process_vm_access.c: A small directed test passes. * gup_benchmark: the enhanced version hits the new gup.c code, and passes. * infiniband (still only have crude "IB pingpong" working, on a good day: it's not exercising my conversions at runtime...) * VFIO: compiles (I'm vowing to set up a run time test soon, but it's not ready just yet) * powerpc: it compiles... * drm/via: compiles... * goldfish: compiles... * net/xdp: compiles... * media/v4l2: compiles...
============================================================ Next:
* Get the block/bio_vec sites converted to use pin_user_pages().
* Work with Ira and Dave Chinner to weave this together with the layout lease stuff.

A subsequent patch requires access to gup flags, so pass the flags argument through to the __gup_device_* functions.
Also placate checkpatch.pl by shortening a nearby line.

There are four locations in gup.c that have a fair amount of code duplication. This means that changing one requires making the same changes in four places, not to mention reading the same code four times, and wondering if there are subtle differences.
Factor out the common code into static functions, thus reducing the overall line count and the code's complexity.
Also, take the opportunity to slightly improve the efficiency of the error cases, by doing a mass subtraction of the refcount, surrounded by get_page()/put_page().
Also, further simplify (slightly), by waiting until the the successful end of each routine, to increment *nr.

Overall it seems like a pretty good clean up. It did take a bit of review but I _think_ it is correct. A couple of comments below.

I wonder if this is better implemented as "put_compound_head()"? To match the try_get_compound_head() call below?
Hi Ira,
Good idea, I'll rename it to that.

When will this return anything but 1?
Never, but it saves a line at all four call sites, by having it return like that.
I could see how maybe people would prefer to just have it be a void function, and return 1 directly at the call sites. Since this was a lower line count I thought maybe it would be slightly better, but it's hard to say really.
thanks,

It is a NIT perhaps but I feel like the signature of a function should stand on it's own. What this does is mix the meaning of this function with those calling it. Which IMO is not good style.
We can see what others say.

Sure. I'll plan on changing it to a void return type, then, unless someone else pipes up.

1. Avoid naming conflicts: rename local static function from "pin_user_pages()" to "pin_goldfish_pages()".
An upcoming patch will introduce a global pin_user_pages() function.

After DMA is complete, and the device and CPU caches are synchronized, it's still required to mark the CPU pages as dirty, if the data was coming from the device. However, this driver was just issuing a bare put_page() call, without any set_page_dirty*() call.
Fix the problem, by calling set_page_dirty_lock() if the CPU pages were potentially receiving data from the device.

Introduce pin_user_pages*() variations of get_user_pages*() calls, and also pin_longterm_pages*() variations.
These variants all set FOLL_PIN, which is also introduced, and basically documented. (An upcoming patch provides more extensive documentation.) The second set (pin_longterm*) also sets FOLL_LONGTERM:
pin_user_pages() pin_user_pages_remote() pin_user_pages_fast()
pin_longterm_pages() pin_longterm_pages_remote() pin_longterm_pages_fast()
All pages that are pinned via the above calls, must be unpinned via put_user_page().
The underlying rules are:
* These are gup-internal flags, so the call sites should not directly set FOLL_PIN nor FOLL_LONGTERM. That behavior is enforced with assertions, for the new FOLL_PIN flag. However, for the pre-existing FOLL_LONGTERM flag, which has some call sites that still directly set FOLL_LONGTERM, there is no assertion yet.
* Call sites that want to indicate that they are going to do DirectIO ("DIO") or something with similar characteristics, should call a get_user_pages()-like wrapper call that sets FOLL_PIN. These wrappers will: * Start with "pin_user_pages" instead of "get_user_pages". That makes it easy to find and audit the call sites. * Set FOLL_PIN
* For pages that are received via FOLL_PIN, those pages must be returned via put_user_page().

Introduce pin_user_pages*() variations of get_user_pages*() calls, and also pin_longterm_pages*() variations.
These variants all set FOLL_PIN, which is also introduced, and basically documented. (An upcoming patch provides more extensive documentation.) The second set (pin_longterm*) also sets FOLL_LONGTERM:
pin_user_pages() pin_user_pages_remote() pin_user_pages_fast() pin_longterm_pages() pin_longterm_pages_remote() pin_longterm_pages_fast()
All pages that are pinned via the above calls, must be unpinned via put_user_page().
The underlying rules are:
- These are gup-internal flags, so the call sites should not directly
set FOLL_PIN nor FOLL_LONGTERM. That behavior is enforced with assertions, for the new FOLL_PIN flag. However, for the pre-existing FOLL_LONGTERM flag, which has some call sites that still directly set FOLL_LONGTERM, there is no assertion yet.
Call sites that want to indicate that they are going to do DirectIO ("DIO") or something with similar characteristics, should call a get_user_pages()-like wrapper call that sets FOLL_PIN. These wrappers will: * Start with "pin_user_pages" instead of "get_user_pages". That makes it easy to find and audit the call sites. * Set FOLL_PIN
For pages that are received via FOLL_PIN, those pages must be returned via put_user_page().

- FOLL_PIN and FOLL_GET are mutually exclusive.
You mean the flags are mutually exclusive for any single call, correct? Because my first thought was that you meant that a page which was pin'ed can't be "got". Which I don't think is true or necessary...
Yes, you are correct. And yes you can absolutely mix get_user_pages() and pin_user_pages() calls on the same page(s).
OK, I'll change the wording to "mutually exclusive for a given function call".
- Please see Documentation/vm/pin_user_pages.rst for more information.
NIT: I think we should include this file as part of this patch...
heh. I kept hopping back and forth on this, because I've seen other patchsets that often put Documentation/ into its own patch. But you're right, of course: it's not right to refer to items that are not here until a later patch. I'll merge patch 19 into this one, then.

Wait? Why can't we set FOLL_LONGTERM here? pin_* are new calls which are not used yet right?
Nope, not quite! See patch #14 ("vfio, mm: pin_longterm_pages (FOLL_PIN) and put_user_page() conversion"), in which I'm converting an existing get_user_pages_remote() caller.
You set it in the other new pin_* functions?
Yes I did. Because those work already in their gup() counterparts.

1. Call the new global pin_user_pages_fast(), from pin_goldfish_pages().
2. As required by pin_user_pages(), release these pages via put_user_page(). In this case, do so via put_user_pages_dirty_lock().
That has the side effect of calling set_page_dirty_lock(), instead of set_page_dirty(). This is probably more accurate.
As Christoph Hellwig put it, "set_page_dirty() is only safe if we are dealing with a file backed page where we have reference on the inode it hangs off." [1]
Another side effect is that the release code is simplified because the page[] loop is now in gup.c instead of here, so just delete the local release_user_pages() entirely, and call put_user_pages_dirty_lock() directly, instead.

Convert infiniband to use the new wrapper calls, and stop explicitly setting FOLL_LONGTERM at the call sites.
The new pin_longterm_*() calls replace get_user_pages*() calls, and set both FOLL_LONGTERM and a new FOLL_PIN flag. The FOLL_PIN flag requires that the caller must return the pages via put_user_page*() calls, but infiniband was already doing that as part of an earlier commit.

I'm open to suggestion there. I'm too close to it now to see what's missing, though...maybe after you take a peek at Documentation/ let's see if it's still the case...

Convert process_vm_access to use the new pin_user_pages_remote() call, which sets FOLL_PIN. Setting FOLL_PIN is now required for code that requires tracking of pinned pages.
Also, release the pages via put_user_page*().
Also, rename "pages" to "pinned_pages", as this makes for easier reading of process_vm_rw_single_vec().

Yes, sorry about that. After dealing with "pages means struct page *[]" for all this time, having an "int pages" just was a step too far for me here. :)
Thanks for working through it.

There is more, but:
1) Fortunately, the opt-in nature of FOLL_PIN allows converting a few call sites at a time. And so this patchset limits itself to converting the bare minimum required to get started, which is:
a) calls sites that have already been converted to put_user_page(), and
b) call sites that set FOLL_LONGTERM.
So yes, follow-up patches will be required. This is not everything. In fact, if I can fix this series up quickly enough that it makes it into mmotm soon-ish, then there may be time to get some follow-patches on top of it, in time for 5.5.
2) If I recall correctly, Jerome and maybe others are working to remove as many get_user_pages() callers from drm as possible, and instead use a non-pinned page approach, with mmu notifiers instead. I'm not sure of the exact status of that work, but I see that etnaviv, amdgpu, i915, and radeon still call gup() in linux-next.
Anyway, some of those call sites will disappear. Although I'd expect a few to remain, because I doubt the simpler GPUs can support page faulting.

Add tracking of pages that were pinned via FOLL_PIN.
As mentioned in the FOLL_PIN documentation, callers who effectively set FOLL_PIN are required to ultimately free such pages via put_user_page(). The effect is similar to FOLL_GET, and may be thought of as "FOLL_GET for DIO and/or RDMA use".
Pages that have been pinned via FOLL_PIN are identifiable via a new function call:
bool page_dma_pinned(struct page *page);
What to do in response to encountering such a page, is left to later patchsets. There is discussion about this in [1].
This also changes a BUG_ON(), to a WARN_ON(), in follow_page_mask().
This also has a couple of trivial, non-functional change fixes to try_get_compound_head(). That function got moved to the top of the file.
This includes the following fix from Ira Weiny:
DAX requires detection of a page crossing to a ref count of 1. Fix this for GUP pages by introducing put_devmap_managed_user_page() which accounts for GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS now used by GUP.

This also fixes one or two likely bugs.
1. Change vfio from get_user_pages(FOLL_LONGTERM), to pin_longterm_pages(), which sets both FOLL_LONGTERM and FOLL_PIN.
Note that this is a change in behavior, because the get_user_pages_remote() call was not setting FOLL_LONGTERM, but the new pin_user_pages_remote() call that replaces it, *is* setting FOLL_LONGTERM. It is important to set FOLL_LONGTERM, because the DMA case requires it. Please see the FOLL_PIN documentation in include/linux/mm.h, and Documentation/pin_user_pages.rst for details.
2. Because all FOLL_PIN-acquired pages must be released via put_user_page(), also convert the put_page() call over to put_user_pages().
Note that this effectively changes the code's behavior in vfio_iommu_type1.c: put_pfn(): it now ultimately calls set_page_dirty_lock(), instead of set_page_dirty(). This is probably more accurate.
As Christoph Hellwig put it, "set_page_dirty() is only safe if we are dealing with a file backed page where we have reference on the inode it hangs off." [1]

Correction: the above comment is stale and wrong. I wrote it before getting further into the details, and the patch doesn't do this.
Instead, it keeps exactly the old behavior: pin_longterm_pages_remote() is careful to avoid setting FOLL_LONGTERM. Instead of setting that flag, it drops in a "TODO" comment nearby. :)
I'll update the commit description in the next version of the series.

1. Convert from get_user_pages(FOLL_LONGTERM) to pin_longterm_pages().
2. As required by pin_user_pages(), release these pages via put_user_page(). In this case, do so via put_user_pages_dirty_lock().
That has the side effect of calling set_page_dirty_lock(), instead of set_page_dirty(). This is probably more accurate.
As Christoph Hellwig put it, "set_page_dirty() is only safe if we are dealing with a file backed page where we have reference on the inode it hangs off." [1]
3. Release each page in mem->hpages[] (instead of mem->hpas[]), because that is the array that pin_longterm_pages() filled in. This is more accurate and should be a little safer from a maintenance point of view.

Up until now, gup_benchmark supported testing of the following kernel functions:
* get_user_pages(): via the '-U' command line option * get_user_pages_longterm(): via the '-L' command line option * get_user_pages_fast(): as the default (no options required)
Add test coverage for the new corresponding pin_*() functions:
* pin_user_pages(): via the '-c' command line option * pin_longterm_pages(): via the '-b' command line option * pin_user_pages_fast(): via the '-a' command line option
Also, add an option for clarity: '-u' for what is now (still) the default choice: get_user_pages_fast().
Also, for the three commands that set FOLL_PIN, verify that the pages really are dma-pinned, via the new is_dma_pinned() routine. Those commands are:
PIN_FAST_BENCHMARK : calls pin_user_pages_fast() PIN_LONGTERM_BENCHMARK : calls pin_longterm_pages() PIN_BENCHMARK : calls pin_user_pages()
In between the calls to pin_*() and put_user_pages(), check each page: if page_dma_pinned() returns false, then WARN and return.
Do this outside of the benchmark timestamps, so that it doesn't affect reported times.

It's good to have basic unit test coverage of the new FOLL_PIN behavior. Fortunately, the gup_benchmark unit test is extremely fast (a few milliseconds), so adding it the the run_vmtests suite is going to cause no noticeable change in running time.
So, add two new invocations to run_vmtests:
1) Run gup_benchmark with normal get_user_pages().
2) Run gup_benchmark with pin_user_pages(). This is much like the first call, except that it sets FOLL_PIN.
Running these two in quick succession also provide a visual comparison of the running times, which is convenient.
The new invocations are fairly early in the run_vmtests script, because with test suites, it's usually preferable to put the shorter, faster tests first, all other things being equal.

Now that all other kernel callers of get_user_pages(FOLL_LONGTERM) have been converted to pin_longterm_pages(), lock it down:
1) Add an assertion to get_user_pages(), preventing callers from passing FOLL_LONGTERM (in addition to the existing assertion that prevents FOLL_PIN).
2) Remove the associated GUP_LONGTERM_BENCHMARK test.

+==================================================== +pin_user_pages() and related calls +====================================================

+Overview +========
+This document describes the following functions: ::
- pin_user_pages
- pin_user_pages_fast
- pin_user_pages_remote
- pin_longterm_pages
- pin_longterm_pages_fast
- pin_longterm_pages_remote
+Basic description of FOLL_PIN +=============================
+A new flag for get_user_pages ("gup") has been added: FOLL_PIN. FOLL_PIN has +significant interactions and interdependencies with FOLL_LONGTERM, so both are +covered here.
+Both FOLL_PIN and FOLL_LONGTERM are "internal" to gup, meaning that neither +FOLL_PIN nor FOLL_LONGTERM should not appear at the gup call sites. This allows +the associated wrapper functions (pin_user_pages and others) to set the correct +combination of these flags, and to check for problems as well.
+FOLL_PIN and FOLL_GET are mutually exclusive for a given gup call. However, +multiple threads and call sites are free to pin the same struct pages, via both +FOLL_PIN and FOLL_GET. It's just the call site that needs to choose one or the +other, not the struct page(s).
+The FOLL_PIN implementation is nearly the same as FOLL_GET, except that FOLL_PIN +uses a different reference counting technique.
+FOLL_PIN is a prerequisite to FOLL_LONGTGERM. Another way of saying that is, +FOLL_LONGTERM is a specific case, more restrictive case of FOLL_PIN.
+Which flags are set by each wrapper +===================================
+Only FOLL_PIN and FOLL_LONGTERM are covered here. These flags are added to +whatever flags the caller provides::
- Function gup flags (FOLL_PIN or FOLL_LONGTERM only)
- pin_user_pages FOLL_PIN
- pin_user_pages_fast FOLL_PIN
- pin_user_pages_remote FOLL_PIN
- pin_longterm_pages FOLL_PIN | FOLL_LONGTERM
- pin_longterm_pages_fast FOLL_PIN | FOLL_LONGTERM
- pin_longterm_pages_remote FOLL_PIN | FOLL_LONGTERM
+Tracking dma-pinned pages +=========================
+Some of the key design constraints, and solutions, for tracking dma-pinned +pages:
+* An actual reference count, per struct page, is required. This is because
- multiple processes may pin and unpin a page.
+* False positives (reporting that a page is dma-pinned, when in fact it is not)
- are acceptable, but false negatives are not.
+* struct page may not be increased in size for this, and all fields are already
- used.
+* Given the above, we can overload the page->_refcount field by using, sort of,
- the upper bits in that field for a dma-pinned count. "Sort of", means that,
- rather than dividing page->_refcount into bit fields, we simple add a medium-
- large value (GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS, initially chosen to be 1024: 10 bits) to
- page->_refcount. This provides fuzzy behavior: if a page has get_page() called
- on it 1024 times, then it will appear to have a single dma-pinned count.
- And again, that's acceptable.
+This also leads to limitations: there are only 32-10==22 bits available for a +counter that increments 10 bits at a time.
+TODO: for 1GB and larger huge pages, this is cutting it close.

So if you have a 1GB huge page:
+* There are 256K (18 bits) worth of 4 KB tail pages. +* There are 22 bits available to count up via GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS (that is,

- But we're still looking at about 16 references.

- pin_user_page() and related, must be used.
+FOLL_PIN, FOLL_GET, FOLL_LONGTERM: when to use which flags +==========================================================
+Thanks to Jan Kara, Vlastimil Babka and several other -mm people, for describing +these categories:
+CASE 1: Direct IO (DIO) +----------------------- +There are GUP references to pages that are serving +as DIO buffers. These buffers are needed for a relatively short time (so they +are not "long term"). No special synchronization with page_mkclean() or +munmap() is provided.

This is yet to be implemented. When it is implemented, it's +expected that the lease will be a prerequisite to setting FOLL_LONGTERM.
For now we probably want to leave this note out until we figure out how this is going to work. Best to say something like:
Some pages, such as DAX pages, can't be pinned with longterm pins and will fail.

+CASE 3: ODP +----------- +(Mellanox/Infiniband On Demand Paging: the hardware supports +replayable page faulting). There are GUP references to pages serving as DMA +buffers. For ODP, MMU notifiers are used to synchronize with page_mkclean() +and munmap(). Therefore, normal GUP calls are sufficient, so neither flag +needs to be set.
+CASE 4: Pinning for struct page manipulation only +------------------------------------------------- +Here, normal GUP calls are sufficient, so neither flag needs to be set.
+page_dma_pinned(): the whole point of pinning +=============================================
+The whole point of marking pages as "DMA-pinned" or "gup-pinned" is to be able +to query, "is this page DMA-pinned?" That allows code such as page_mkclean() +(and file system writeback code in general) to make informed decisions about +what to do when a page cannot be unmapped due to such pins.
+What to do in those cases is the subject of a years-long series of discussions +and debates (see the References at the end of this document). It's a TODO item +here: fill in the details once that's worked out. Meanwhile, it's safe to say +that having this available: ::
static inline bool page_dma_pinned(struct page *page)
+...is a prerequisite to solving the long-running gup+DMA problem.
+Another way of thinking about FOLL_GET, FOLL_PIN, and FOLL_LONGTERM +===================================================================
+Another way of thinking about these flags is as a progression of restrictions: +FOLL_GET is for struct page manipulation, without affecting the data that the +struct page refers to. FOLL_PIN is a *replacement* for FOLL_GET, and is for +short term pins on pages whose data *will* get accessed. As such, FOLL_PIN is +a "more severe" form of pinning. And finally, FOLL_LONGTERM is an even more +restrictive case that has FOLL_PIN as a prerequisite: this is for pages that +will be pinned longterm, and whose data will be accessed.
+Unit testing +============ +This file::
- tools/testing/selftests/vm/gup_benchmark.c
+has the following new calls to exercise the new pin*() wrapper functions:
+* PIN_FAST_BENCHMARK (./gup_benchmark -a) +* PIN_LONGTERM_BENCHMARK (./gup_benchmark -a) +* PIN_BENCHMARK (./gup_benchmark -a)
+You can monitor how many total dma-pinned pages have been acquired and released +since the system was booted, via two new /proc/vmstat entries: ::
- /proc/vmstat/nr_foll_pin_requested
- /proc/vmstat/nr_foll_pin_requested
+Those are both going to show zero, unless CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is set. This is +because there is a noticeable performance drop in put_user_page(), when they +are activated.

OK, that is better, I'll use that instead of the "TODO".

NOTE: Some pages, such as DAX pages, cannot be pinned with longterm pins. That's because DAX pages do not have a separate page cache, and so "pinning" implies locking down file system blocks, which is not (yet) supported in that way.

+This also leads to limitations: there are only 32-10==22 bits available for a +counter that increments 10 bits at a time.
The above claim is just a "bit" too optimistic, by one bit: page->_refcount, being an atomic_t which uses a signed int (and we use the sign bit to check for overflow), only has 31 total bits available for actual counting, not 32.
I'll adjust the documentation in v2, to account for this.
