Subject: [patch 04/19] mm/thp: narrow lru locking
Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2020 12:33:33 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201215203333.hyZtikIQM%akpm@linux-foundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201215123253.954eca9a5ef4c0d52fd381fa@linux-foundation.org>

From: Alex Shi <alex.shi@linux.alibaba.com>
Subject: mm/thp: narrow lru locking

lru_lock and page cache xa_lock have no obvious reason to be taken one way
round or the other: until now, lru_lock has been taken before page cache
xa_lock, when splitting a THP; but nothing else takes them together. 
Reverse that ordering: let's narrow the lru locking - but leave
local_irq_disable to block interrupts throughout, like before.

Hugh Dickins point: split_huge_page_to_list() was already silly, to be
using the _irqsave variant: it's just been taking sleeping locks, so would
already be broken if entered with interrupts enabled.  So we can save
passing flags argument down to __split_huge_page().

Why change the lock ordering here?  That was hard to decide.  One reason:
when this series reaches per-memcg lru locking, it relies on the THP's
memcg to be stable when taking the lru_lock: that is now done after the
THP's refcount has been frozen, which ensures page memcg cannot change.

Another reason: previously, lock_page_memcg()'s move_lock was presumed to
nest inside lru_lock; but now lru_lock must nest inside (page cache lock
inside) move_lock, so it becomes possible to use lock_page_memcg() to
stabilize page memcg before taking its lru_lock.  That is not the
mechanism used in this series, but it is an option we want to keep open.
