For a VMA with a THP allowable order, when we write-fault on it, the kernel installs a PMD-mapped THP. On the other hand, if we first get a read fault, we get a PMD pointing to the hugezeropage; subsequent write will trigger a write-protection fault, shattering the hugezeropage into one writable page, and all the other PTEs write-protected. The conclusion being, as compared to the case of a single write-fault, applications have to suffer 512 extra page faults if they were to use the VMA as such, plus we get the overhead of khugepaged trying to replace that area with a THP anyway. Instead, replace the hugezeropage with a THP on wp-fault.

Looking at page_table_check_pmd_flags(), preserving uffd-wp on a writable entry is invalid. Looking at mfill_atomic(), uffd_copy() is a null operation when pmd is marked uffd-wp. v1->v2: - Wrap do_huge_zero_wp_pmd_locked() around lock and unlock - Call thp_fault_alloc() before do_huge_zero_wp_pmd_locked() to avoid - calling sleeping function from spinlock context Dev Jain (2): mm: Abstract THP allocation mm: Allocate THP on hugezeropage wp-fault mm/huge_memory.c | 139 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------- 1 file changed, 97 insertions(+), 42 deletions(-) -- 2.30.2
