ksm: make KSM page migration possible
KSM page migration is already supported in the case of memory hotremove, which takes the ksm_thread_mutex across all its migrations to keep life simple. But the new KSM NUMA merge_across_nodes knob introduces a problem, when it's set to non-default 0: if a KSM page is migrated to a different NUMA node, how do we migrate its stable node to the right tree? And what if that collides with an existing stable node? So far there's no provision for that, and this patch does not attempt to deal with it either. But how will I test a solution, when I don't know how to hotremove memory? The best answer is to enable KSM page migration in all cases now, and test more common cases. With THP and compaction added since KSM came in, page migration is now mainstream, and it's a shame that a KSM page can frustrate freeing a page block. Without worrying about merge_across_nodes 0 for now, this patch gets KSM page migration working reliably for default merge_across_nodes 1 (but leave the patch enabling it until near the end of the series). It's much simpler than I'd originally imagined, and does not require an additional tier of locking: page migration relies on the page lock, KSM page reclaim relies on the page lock, the page lock is enough for KSM page migration too. Almost all the care has to be in get_ksm_page(): that's the function which worries about when a stable node is stale and should be freed, now it also has to worry about the KSM page being migrated. The only new overhead is an additional put/get/lock/unlock_page when stable_tree_search() arrives at a matching node: to make sure migration respects the raised page count, and so does not migrate the page while we're busy with it here. That's probably avoidable, either by changing internal interfaces from using kpage to stable_node, or by moving the ksm_migrate_page() callsite into a page_freeze_refs() section (even if not swapcache); but this works well, I've no urge to pull it apart now. (Descents of the stable tree may pass through nodes whose KSM pages are under migration: being unlocked, the raised page count does not prevent that, nor need it: it's safe to memcmp against either old or new page.) You might worry about mremap, and whether page migration's rmap_walk to remove migration entries will find all the KSM locations where it inserted earlier: that should already be handled, by the satisfyingly heavy hammer of move_vma()'s call to ksm_madvise(,,,MADV_UNMERGEABLE,).
