mm/compaction: add support for >0 order folio memory compaction. Before last commit, memory compaction only migrates order-0 folios and skips >0 order folios. Last commit splits all >0 order folios during compaction. This commit migrates >0 order folios during compaction by keeping isolated free pages at their original size without splitting them into order-0 pages and using them directly during migration process. What is different from the prior implementation: 1. All isolated free pages are kept in a NR_PAGE_ORDERS array of page lists, where each page list stores free pages in the same order. 2. All free pages are not post_alloc_hook() processed nor buddy pages, although their orders are stored in first page's private like buddy pages. 3. During migration, in new page allocation time (i.e., in compaction_alloc()), free pages are then processed by post_alloc_hook(). When migration fails and a new page is returned (i.e., in compaction_free()), free pages are restored by reversing the post_alloc_hook() operations using newly added free_pages_prepare_fpi_none(). Step 3 is done for a latter optimization that splitting and/or merging free pages during compaction becomes easier. Note: without splitting free pages, compaction can end prematurely due to migration will return -ENOMEM even if there is free pages. This happens when no order-0 free page exist and compaction_alloc() return NULL.

mm/page_alloc: remove unused fpi_flags in free_pages_prepare() Patch series "Enable >0 order folio memory compaction", v7. This patchset enables >0 order folio memory compaction, which is one of the prerequisitions for large folio support[1]. I am aware of that split free pages is necessary for folio migration in compaction, since if >0 order free pages are never split and no order-0 free page is scanned, compaction will end prematurely due to migration returns -ENOMEM. Free page split becomes a must instead of an optimization. lkp ncompare results (on a 8-CPU (Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 @2.20GHz) 16G VM) for default LRU (-no-mglru) and CONFIG_LRU_GEN are shown at the bottom, copied from V3[4]. In sum, most of vm-scalability applications do not see performance change, and the others see ~4% to ~26% performance boost under default LRU and ~2% to ~6% performance boost under CONFIG_LRU_GEN. Overview === To support >0 order folio compaction, the patchset changes how free pages used for migration are kept during compaction. Free pages used to be split into order-0 pages that are post allocation processed (i.e., PageBuddy flag cleared, page order stored in page->private is zeroed, and page reference is set to 1). Now all free pages are kept in a NR_PAGE_ORDER array of page lists based on their order without post allocation process. When migrate_pages() asks for a new page, one of the free pages, based on the requested page order, is then processed and given out. And THP <2MB would need this feature.

page_frag: unify gfp bits for order 3 page allocation Currently there seems to be three page frag implementations which all try to allocate order 3 page, if that fails, it then fail back to allocate order 0 page, and each of them all allow order 3 page allocation to fail under certain condition by using specific gfp bits. The gfp bits for order 3 page allocation are different between different implementation, __GFP_NOMEMALLOC is or'd to forbid access to emergency reserves memory for __page_frag_cache_refill(), but it is not or'd in other implementions, __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is masked off to avoid direct reclaim in vhost_net_page_frag_refill(), but it is not masked off in __page_frag_cache_refill(). This patch unifies the gfp bits used between different implementions by or'ing __GFP_NOMEMALLOC and masking off __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM for order 3 page allocation to avoid possible pressure for mm.

mm/page_alloc: modify page_frag_alloc_align() to accept align as an argument napi_alloc_frag_align() and netdev_alloc_frag_align() accept align as an argument, and they are thin wrappers around the __napi_alloc_frag_align() and __netdev_alloc_frag_align() APIs doing the alignment checking and align mask conversion, in order to call page_frag_alloc_align() directly. The intention here is to keep the alignment checking and the alignmask conversion in in-line wrapper to avoid those kind of operations during execution time since it can usually be handled during compile time. We are going to use page_frag_alloc_align() in vhost_net.c, it need the same kind of alignment checking and alignmask conversion, so split up page_frag_alloc_align into an inline wrapper doing the above operation, and add __page_frag_alloc_align() which is passed with the align mask the original function expected as suggested by Alexander.

mm, vmscan: prevent infinite loop for costly GFP_NOIO | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL allocations Sven reports an infinite loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath() for costly order __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL allocations that are also GFP_NOIO. Such combination can happen in a suspend/resume context where a GFP_KERNEL allocation can have __GFP_IO masked out via gfp_allowed_mask. Quoting Sven: 1. try to do a "costly" allocation (order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER) with __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL set. 2. page alloc's __alloc_pages_slowpath tries to get a page from the freelist. This fails because there is nothing free of that costly order. 3. page alloc tries to reclaim by calling __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim, which bails out because a zone is ready to be compacted; it pretends to have made a single page of progress. 4. page alloc tries to compact, but this always bails out early because __GFP_IO is not set (it's not passed by the snd allocator, and even if it were, we are suspending so the __GFP_IO flag would be cleared anyway). 5. page alloc believes reclaim progress was made (because of the pretense in item 3) and so it checks whether it should retry compaction. The compaction retry logic thinks it should try again, because: a) reclaim is needed because of the early bail-out in item 4 b) a zonelist is suitable for compaction 6. goto 2. indefinite stall. (end quote) The immediate root cause is confusing the COMPACT_SKIPPED returned from __alloc_pages_direct_compact() (step 4) due to lack of __GFP_IO to be indicating a lack of order-0 pages, and in step 5 evaluating that in should_compact_retry() as a reason to retry, before incrementing and limiting the number of retries. There are however other places that wrongly assume that compaction can happen while we lack __GFP_IO. To fix this, introduce gfp_compaction_allowed() to abstract the __GFP_IO evaluation and switch the open-coded test in try_to_compact_pages() to use it. Also use the new helper in: - compaction_ready(), which will make reclaim not bail out in step 3, so there's at least one attempt to actually reclaim, even if chances are small for a costly order - in_reclaim_compaction() which will make should_continue_reclaim() return false and we don't over-reclaim unnecessarily - in __alloc_pages_slowpath() to set a local variable can_compact, which is then used to avoid retrying reclaim/compaction for costly allocations (step 5) if we can't compact and also to skip the early compaction attempt that we do in some cases Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240221114357.13655-2-vbabka@suse.cz Fixes: 3250845d0526 ("Revert "mm, oom: prevent premature OOM killer invocation for high order request"") Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Reported-by: Sven van Ashbrook <svenva@chromium.org> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAG-rBihs_xMKb3wrMO1%2B-%2Bp4fowP9oy1pa_OTkfxBzPUVOZF%2Bg@mail.gmail.com/ Tested-by: Karthikeyan Ramasubramanian <kramasub@chromium.org> Cc: Brian Geffon <bgeffon@google.com> Cc: Curtis Malainey <cujomalainey@chromium.org> Cc: Jaroslav Kysela <perex@perex.cz> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Cc: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

mm/page_pool: catch page_pool memory leaks Pages belonging to a page_pool (PP) instance must be freed through the PP APIs in-order to correctly release any DMA mappings and release refcnt on the DMA device when freeing PP instance. When PP release a page (page_pool_release_page) the page->pp_magic value is cleared. This patch detect a leaked PP page in free_page_is_bad() via unexpected state of page->pp_magic value being PP_SIGNATURE. We choose to report and treat it as a bad page.

mm: page_alloc: unreserve highatomic page blocks before oom __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim() is called from slowpath allocation where high atomic reserves can be unreserved after there is a progress in reclaim and yet no suitable page is found. Later should_reclaim_retry() gets called from slow path allocation to decide if the reclaim needs to be retried before OOM kill path is taken. should_reclaim_retry() checks the available(reclaimable + free pages) memory against the min wmark levels of a zone and returns: a) true, if it is above the min wmark so that slow path allocation will do the reclaim retries. b) false, thus slowpath allocation takes oom kill path. should_reclaim_retry() can also unreserves the high atomic reserves **but only after all the reclaim retries are exhausted.** In a case where there are almost none reclaimable memory and free pages contains mostly the high atomic reserves but allocation context can't use these high atomic reserves, makes the available memory below min wmark levels hence false is returned from should_reclaim_retry() leading the allocation request to take OOM kill path. This can turn into a early oom kill if high atomic reserves are holding lot of free memory and unreserving of them is not attempted. (early)OOM is encountered on a VM with the below state: [ 295.998653] Normal free:7728kB boost:0kB min:804kB low:1004kB high:1204kB reserved_highatomic:8192KB active_anon:4kB inactive_anon:0kB active_file:24kB inactive_file:24kB unevictable:1220kB writepending:0kB present:70732kB managed:49224kB mlocked:0kB bounce:0kB free_pcp:688kB local_pcp:492kB free_cma:0kB [ 295.998656] lowmem_reserve[]: 0 32 [ 295.998659] Normal: 508*4kB (UMEH) 241*8kB (UMEH) 143*16kB (UMEH) 33*32kB (UH) 7*64kB (UH) 0*128kB 0*256kB 0*512kB 0*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 7752kB Per above log, the free memory of ~7MB exist in the high atomic reserves is not freed up before falling back to oom kill path.

mm: page_alloc: enforce minimum zone size to do high atomic reserves Highatomic reserves are set to roughly 1% of zone for maximum and a pageblock size for minimum. Encountered a system with the below configuration: Normal free:7728kB boost:0kB min:804kB low:1004kB high:1204kB reserved_highatomic:8192KB managed:49224kB On such systems, even a single pageblock makes highatomic reserves are set to ~8% of the zone memory. This high value can easily exert pressure on the zone. Per discussion with Michal and Mel, it is not much useful to reserve the memory for highatomic allocations on such small systems[1]. Since the minimum size for high atomic reserves is always going to be a pageblock size and if 1% of zone managed pages is going to be below pageblock size, don't reserve memory for high atomic allocations. Thanks Michal for this suggestion[2]. Since no memory is being reserved for high atomic allocations and if respective allocation failures are seen, this patch can be reverted.

mm: page_alloc: correct high atomic reserve calculations Patch series "mm: page_alloc: fixes for high atomic reserve caluculations", v3.

Don't reserve the high atomic page blocks if 1% of zone memory size is below a pageblock size. This patch (of 2): reserve_highatomic_pageblock() aims to reserve the 1% of the managed pages of a zone, which is used for the high order atomic allocations. It uses the below calculation to reserve: static void reserve_highatomic_pageblock(struct page *page, ....) { ....... max_managed = (zone_managed_pages(zone) / 100) + pageblock_nr_pages; if (zone->nr_reserved_highatomic >= max_managed) goto out; zone->nr_reserved_highatomic += pageblock_nr_pages; set_pageblock_migratetype(page, MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC); move_freepages_block(zone, page, MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC, NULL); out: .... } Since we are always appending the 1% of zone managed pages count to pageblock_nr_pages, the minimum it is turning into 2 pageblocks as the nr_reserved_highatomic is incremented/decremented in pageblock sizes. Encountered a system(actually a VM running on the Linux kernel) with the below zone configuration: Normal free:7728kB boost:0kB min:804kB low:1004kB high:1204kB reserved_highatomic:8192KB managed:49224kB The existing calculations making it to reserve the 8MB(with pageblock size of 4MB) i.e. 16% of the zone managed memory. Reserving such high amount of memory can easily exert memory pressure in the system thus may lead into unnecessary reclaims till unreserving of high atomic reserves. Since high atomic reserves are managed in pageblock size granules, as MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC is set for such pageblock, fix the calculations for high atomic reserves as, minimum is pageblock size , maximum is approximately 1% of the zone managed pages.

mm: page_alloc: skip memoryless nodes entirely Patch series "handle memoryless nodes more appropriately", v3. Currently, in the process of initialization or offline memory, memoryless nodes will still be built into the fallback list of itself or other nodes. This is not what we expected, so this patch series removes memoryless nodes from the fallback list entirely. This patch (of 2): In find_next_best_node(), we skipped the memoryless nodes when building the zonelists of other normal nodes (N_NORMAL), but did not skip the memoryless node itself when building the zonelist. This will cause it to be traversed at runtime. For example, say we have node0 and node1, node0 is memoryless node, then the fallback order of node0 and node1 as follows: [ 0.153005] Fallback order for Node 0: 0 1 [ 0.153564] Fallback order for Node 1: 1 After this patch, we skip memoryless node0 entirely, then the fallback order of node0 and node1 as follows: [ 0.155236] Fallback order for Node 0: 1 [ 0.155806] Fallback order for Node 1: 1 So it becomes completely invisible, which will reduce runtime overhead. And in this way, we will not try to allocate pages from memoryless node0, then the panic mentioned in [1] will also be fixed. Even though this problem has been solved by dropping the NODE_MIN_SIZE constrain in x86 [2], it would be better to fix it in core MM as well.

mm, pcp: reduce detecting time of consecutive high order page freeing In current PCP auto-tuning design, if the number of pages allocated is much more than that of pages freed on a CPU, the PCP high may become the maximal value even if the allocating/freeing depth is small, for example, in the sender of network workloads. If a CPU was used as sender originally, then it is used as receiver after context switching, we need to fill the whole PCP with maximal high before triggering PCP draining for consecutive high order freeing. This will hurt the performance of some network workloads. To solve the issue, in this patch, we will track the consecutive page freeing with a counter in stead of relying on PCP draining. So, we can detect consecutive page freeing much earlier. On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, we tested SCTP_STREAM_MANY test case of netperf test suite with 64-pair processes. With the patch, the network bandwidth improves 5.0%. This restores the performance drop caused by PCP auto-tuning.

mm, pcp: decrease PCP high if free pages < high watermark One target of PCP is to minimize pages in PCP if the system free pages is too few. To reach that target, when page reclaiming is active for the zone (ZONE_RECLAIM_ACTIVE), we will stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. But this may be too late because the background page reclaiming may introduce latency for some workloads. So, in this patch, during page allocation we will detect whether the number of free pages of the zone is below high watermark. If so, we will stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. With this, we can reduce the possibility of the premature background page reclaiming caused by too large PCP. The high watermark checking is done in allocating path to reduce the overhead in hotter freeing path.

mm: tune PCP high automatically The target to tune PCP high automatically is as follows, - Minimize allocation/freeing from/to shared zone - Minimize idle pages in PCP - Minimize pages in PCP if the system free pages is too few To reach these target, a tuning algorithm as follows is designed, - When we refill PCP via allocating from the zone, increase PCP high. Because if we had larger PCP, we could avoid to allocate from the zone. - In periodic vmstat updating kworker (via refresh_cpu_vm_stats()), decrease PCP high to try to free possible idle PCP pages. - When page reclaiming is active for the zone, stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. So, the PCP high can be tuned to the page allocating/freeing depth of workloads eventually. One issue of the algorithm is that if the number of pages allocated is much more than that of pages freed on a CPU, the PCP high may become the maximal value even if the allocating/freeing depth is small. But this isn't a severe issue, because there are no idle pages in this case. One alternative choice is to increase PCP high when we drain PCP via trying to free pages to the zone, but don't increase PCP high during PCP refilling. This can avoid the issue above. But if the number of pages allocated is much less than that of pages freed on a CPU, there will be many idle pages in PCP and it is hard to free these idle pages. 1/8 (>> 3) of PCP high will be decreased periodically. The value 1/8 is kind of arbitrary. Just to make sure that the idle PCP pages will be freed eventually. On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. With the patch, the build time decreases 3.5%. The cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 11.0% to 0.5%. The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 65.6%. The number of pages allocated from zone (instead of from PCP) decreases 83.9%.

mm: add framework for PCP high auto-tuning The page allocation performance requirements of different workloads are usually different. So, we need to tune PCP (per-CPU pageset) high to optimize the workload page allocation performance. Now, we have a system wide sysctl knob (percpu_pagelist_high_fraction) to tune PCP high by hand. But, it's hard to find out the best value by hand. And one global configuration may not work best for the different workloads that run on the same system. One solution to these issues is to tune PCP high of each CPU automatically. This patch adds the framework for PCP high auto-tuning. With it, pcp->high of each CPU will be changed automatically by tuning algorithm at runtime. The minimal high (pcp->high_min) is the original PCP high value calculated based on the low watermark pages. While the maximal high (pcp->high_max) is the PCP high value when percpu_pagelist_high_fraction sysctl knob is set to MIN_PERCPU_PAGELIST_HIGH_FRACTION. That is, the maximal pcp->high that can be set via sysctl knob by hand. It's possible that PCP high auto-tuning doesn't work well for some workloads. So, when PCP high is tuned by hand via the sysctl knob, the auto-tuning will be disabled. The PCP high set by hand will be used instead. This patch only adds the framework, so pcp->high will be set to pcp->high_min (original default) always. We will add actual auto-tuning algorithm in the following patches in the series.

mm, page_alloc: scale the number of pages that are batch allocated When a task is allocating a large number of order-0 pages, it may acquire the zone->lock multiple times allocating pages in batches. This may unnecessarily contend on the zone lock when allocating very large number of pages. This patch adapts the size of the batch based on the recent pattern to scale the batch size for subsequent allocations. On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. With the patch, the cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 12.6% to 11.0% (with PCP size == 367).

mm: restrict the pcp batch scale factor to avoid too long latency In page allocator, PCP (Per-CPU Pageset) is refilled and drained in batches to increase page allocation throughput, reduce page allocation/freeing latency per page, and reduce zone lock contention. But too large batch size will cause too long maximal allocation/freeing latency, which may punish arbitrary users. So the default batch size is chosen carefully (in zone_batchsize(), the value is 63 for zone > 1GB) to avoid that. In commit 3b12e7e97938 ("mm/page_alloc: scale the number of pages that are batch freed"), the batch size will be scaled for large number of page freeing to improve page freeing performance and reduce zone lock contention. Similar optimization can be used for large number of pages allocation too. To find out a suitable max batch scale factor (that is, max effective batch size), some tests and measurement on some machines were done as follows. A set of debug patches are implemented as follows, - Set PCP high to be 2 * batch to reduce the effect of PCP high - Disable free batch size scaling to get the raw performance. - The code with zone lock held is extracted from rmqueue_bulk() and free_pcppages_bulk() to 2 separate functions to make it easy to measure the function run time with ftrace function_graph tracer. - The batch size is hard coded to be 63 (default), 127, 255, 511, 1023, 2047, 4095. Then will-it-scale/page_fault1 is used to generate the page allocation/freeing workload. The page allocation/freeing throughput (page/s) is measured via will-it-scale. The page allocation/freeing average latency (alloc/free latency avg, in us) and allocation/freeing latency at 99 percentile (alloc/free latency 99%, in us) are measured with ftrace function_graph tracer. The test results are as follows, Sapphire Rapids Server ====================== Batch throughput free latency free latency alloc latency alloc latency page/s avg / us 99% / us avg / us 99% / us ----- ---------- ------------ ------------ ------------- ------------- 63 513633.4 2.33 3.57 2.67 6.83 127 517616.7 4.35 6.65 4.22 13.03 255 520822.8 8.29 13.32 7.52 25.24 511 524122.0 15.79 23.42 14.02 49.35 1023 525980.5 30.25 44.19 25.36 94.88 2047 526793.6 59.39 84.50 45.22 140.81 Ice Lake Server =============== Batch throughput free latency free latency alloc latency alloc latency page/s avg / us 99% / us avg / us 99% / us ----- ---------- ------------ ------------ ------------- ------------- 63 620210.3 2.21 3.68 2.02 4.35 127 627003.0 4.09 6.86 3.51 8.28 255 630777.5 7.70 13.50 6.17 15.97 511 633651.5 14.85 22.62 11.66 31.08 1023 637071.1 28.55 42.02 20.81 54.36 2047 638089.7 56.54 84.06 39.28 91.68 Cascade Lake Server =================== Batch throughput free latency free latency alloc latency alloc latency page/s avg / us 99% / us avg / us 99% / us ----- ---------- ------------ ------------ ------------- ------------- 63 404706.7 3.29 5.03 3.53 4.75 127 422475.2 6.12 9.09 6.36 8.76 255 411522.2 11.68 16.97 10.90 16.39 511 428124.1 22.54 31.28 19.86 32.25 1023 414718.4 43.39 62.52 40.00 66.33 2047 429848.7 86.64 120.34 71.14 106.08 Commet Lake Desktop =================== Batch throughput free latency free latency alloc latency alloc latency page/s avg / us 99% / us avg / us 99% / us ----- ---------- ------------ ------------ ------------- ------------- 63 795183.13 2.18 3.55 2.03 3.05 127 803067.85 3.91 6.56 3.85 5.52 255 812771.10 7.35 10.80 7.14 10.20 511 817723.48 14.17 27.54 13.43 30.31 1023 818870.19 27.72 40.10 27.89 46.28 Coffee Lake Desktop =================== Batch throughput free latency free latency alloc latency alloc latency page/s avg / us 99% / us avg / us 99% / us ----- ---------- ------------ ------------ ------------- ------------- 63 510542.8 3.13 4.40 2.48 3.43 127 514288.6 5.97 7.89 4.65 6.04 255 516889.7 11.86 15.58 8.96 12.55 511 519802.4 23.10 28.81 16.95 26.19 1023 520802.7 45.30 52.51 33.19 45.95 2047 519997.1 90.63 104.00 65.26 81.74 From the above data, to restrict the allocation/freeing latency to be less than 100 us in most times, the max batch scale factor needs to be less than or equal to 5. Although it is reasonable to use 5 as max batch scale factor for the systems tested, there are also slower systems. Where smaller value should be used to constrain the page allocation/freeing latency. So, in this patch, a new kconfig option (PCP_BATCH_SCALE_MAX) is added to set the max batch scale factor. Whose default value is 5, and users can reduce it when necessary.

mm, pcp: reduce lock contention for draining high-order pages In commit f26b3fa04611 ("mm/page_alloc: limit number of high-order pages on PCP during bulk free"), the PCP (Per-CPU Pageset) will be drained when PCP is mostly used for high-order pages freeing to improve the cache-hot pages reusing between page allocating and freeing CPUs. On system with small per-CPU data cache slice, pages shouldn't be cached before draining to guarantee cache-hot. But on a system with large per-CPU data cache slice, some pages can be cached before draining to reduce zone lock contention. So, in this patch, instead of draining without any caching, "pcp->batch" pages will be cached in PCP before draining if the size of the per-CPU data cache slice is more than "3 * batch". In theory, if the size of per-CPU data cache slice is more than "2 * batch", we can reuse cache-hot pages between CPUs. But considering the other usage of cache (code, other data accessing, etc.), "3 * batch" is used. Note: "3 * batch" is chosen to make sure the optimization works on recent x86_64 server CPUs. If you want to increase it, please check whether it breaks the optimization. On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, with the patch, the network bandwidth of the UNIX (AF_UNIX) test case of lmbench test suite with 16-pair processes increase 70.5%. The cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 46.1% to 21.3%. The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 89.9%. The cache miss rate keeps 0.2%.

mm, pcp: avoid to drain PCP when process exit Patch series "mm: PCP high auto-tuning", v3. The page allocation performance requirements of different workloads are often different. So, we need to tune the PCP (Per-CPU Pageset) high on each CPU automatically to optimize the page allocation performance. The list of patches in series is as follows, [1/9] mm, pcp: avoid to drain PCP when process exit [2/9] cacheinfo: calculate per-CPU data cache size [3/9] mm, pcp: reduce lock contention for draining high-order pages [4/9] mm: restrict the pcp batch scale factor to avoid too long latency [5/9] mm, page_alloc: scale the number of pages that are batch allocated [6/9] mm: add framework for PCP high auto-tuning [7/9] mm: tune PCP high automatically [8/9] mm, pcp: decrease PCP high if free pages < high watermark [9/9] mm, pcp: reduce detecting time of consecutive high order page freeing Patch [1/9], [2/9], [3/9] optimize the PCP draining for consecutive high-order pages freeing. Patch [4/9], [5/9] optimize batch freeing and allocating. Patch [6/9], [7/9], [8/9] implement and optimize a PCP high auto-tuning method. Patch [9/9] optimize the PCP draining for consecutive high order page freeing based on PCP high auto-tuning. The test results for patches with performance impact are as follows, kbuild ====== On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. build time lock contend% free_high alloc_zone ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- base 100.0 14.0 100.0 100.0 patch1 99.5 12.8 19.5 95.6 patch3 99.4 12.6 7.1 95.6 patch5 98.6 11.0 8.1 97.1 patch7 95.1 0.5 2.8 15.6 patch9 95.0 1.0 8.8 20.0 The PCP draining optimization (patch [1/9], [3/9]) and PCP batch allocation optimization (patch [5/9]) reduces zone lock contention a little. The PCP high auto-tuning (patch [7/9], [9/9]) reduces build time visibly. Where the tuning target: the number of pages allocated from zone reduces greatly. So, the zone contention cycles% reduces greatly. With PCP tuning patches (patch [7/9], [9/9]), the average used memory during test increases up to 18.4% because more pages are cached in PCP. But at the end of the test, the number of the used memory decreases to the same level as that of the base patch. That is, the pages cached in PCP will be released to zone after not being used actively. netperf SCTP_STREAM_MANY ======================== On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, we tested SCTP_STREAM_MANY test case of netperf test suite with 64-pair processes. score lock contend% free_high alloc_zone cache miss rate% ----- ---------- --------- ---------- ---------------- base 100.0 2.1 100.0 100.0 1.3 patch1 99.4 2.1 99.4 99.4 1.3 patch3 106.4 1.3 13.3 106.3 1.3 patch5 106.0 1.2 13.2 105.9 1.3 patch7 103.4 1.9 6.7 90.3 7.6 patch9 108.6 1.3 13.7 108.6 1.3 The PCP draining optimization (patch [1/9]+[3/9]) improves performance. The PCP high auto-tuning (patch [7/9]) reduces performance a little because PCP draining cannot be triggered in time sometimes. So, the cache miss rate% increases. The further PCP draining optimization (patch [9/9]) based on PCP tuning restore the performance. lmbench3 UNIX (AF_UNIX) ======================= On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, we tested UNIX (AF_UNIX socket) test case of lmbench3 test suite with 16-pair processes. score lock contend% free_high alloc_zone cache miss rate% ----- ---------- --------- ---------- ---------------- base 100.0 51.4 100.0 100.0 0.2 patch1 116.8 46.1 69.5 104.3 0.2 patch3 199.1 21.3 7.0 104.9 0.2 patch5 200.0 20.8 7.1 106.9 0.3 patch7 191.6 19.9 6.8 103.8 2.8 patch9 193.4 21.7 7.0 104.7 2.1 The PCP draining optimization (patch [1/9], [3/9]) improves performance much. The PCP tuning (patch [7/9]) reduces performance a little because PCP draining cannot be triggered in time sometimes. The further PCP draining optimization (patch [9/9]) based on PCP tuning restores the performance partly. The patchset adds several fields in struct per_cpu_pages. The struct layout before/after the patchset is as follows, base ==== struct per_cpu_pages { spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */ int count; /* 4 4 */ int high; /* 8 4 */ int batch; /* 12 4 */ short int free_factor; /* 16 2 */ short int expire; /* 18 2 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct list_head lists[13]; /* 24 208 */ /* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 7 */ /* sum members: 228, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* padding: 24 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); patched ======= struct per_cpu_pages { spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */ int count; /* 4 4 */ int high; /* 8 4 */ int high_min; /* 12 4 */ int high_max; /* 16 4 */ int batch; /* 20 4 */ u8 flags; /* 24 1 */ u8 alloc_factor; /* 25 1 */ u8 expire; /* 26 1 */ /* XXX 1 byte hole, try to pack */ short int free_count; /* 28 2 */ /* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct list_head lists[13]; /* 32 208 */ /* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 11 */ /* sum members: 237, holes: 2, sum holes: 3 */ /* padding: 16 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); The size of the struct doesn't changed with the patchset. This patch (of 9): In commit f26b3fa04611 ("mm/page_alloc: limit number of high-order pages on PCP during bulk free"), the PCP (Per-CPU Pageset) will be drained when PCP is mostly used for high-order pages freeing to improve the cache-hot pages reusing between page allocation and freeing CPUs. But, the PCP draining mechanism may be triggered unexpectedly when process exits. With some customized trace point, it was found that PCP draining (free_high == true) was triggered with the order-1 page freeing with the following call stack, => free_unref_page_commit => free_unref_page => __mmdrop => exit_mm => do_exit => do_group_exit => __x64_sys_exit_group => do_syscall_64 Checking the source code, this is the page table PGD freeing (mm_free_pgd()). It's a order-1 page freeing if CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION=y. Which is a common configuration for security. Just before that, page freeing with the following call stack was found, => free_unref_page_commit => free_unref_page_list => release_pages => tlb_batch_pages_flush => tlb_finish_mmu => exit_mmap => __mmput => exit_mm => do_exit => do_group_exit => __x64_sys_exit_group => do_syscall_64 So, when a process exits, - a large number of user pages of the process will be freed without page allocation, it's highly possible that pcp->free_factor becomes > 0. In fact, this is expected behavior to improve process exit performance. - after freeing all user pages, the PGD will be freed, which is a order-1 page freeing, PCP will be drained. All in all, when a process exits, it's high possible that the PCP will be drained. This is an unexpected behavior. To avoid this, in the patch, the PCP draining will only be triggered for 2 consecutive high-order page freeing. On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. With the patch, the cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 14.0% to 12.8% (with PCP size == 367). The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 80.5%. This helps network workload too for reduced zone lock contention. On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, with the patch, the network bandwidth of the UNIX (AF_UNIX) test case of lmbench test suite with 16-pair processes increase 16.8%. The cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 51.4% to 46.1%. The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 30.5%. The cache miss rate keeps 0.2%.

mm/page_alloc: correct start page when guard page debug is enabled When guard page debug is enabled and set_page_guard returns success, we miss to forward page to point to start of next split range and we will do split unexpectedly in page range without target page. Move start page update before set_page_guard to fix this.

mm: page_alloc: fix CMA and HIGHATOMIC landing on the wrong buddy list Commit 4b23a68f9536 ("mm/page_alloc: protect PCP lists with a spinlock") bypasses the pcplist on lock contention and returns the page directly to the buddy list of the page's migratetype. For pages that don't have their own pcplist, such as CMA and HIGHATOMIC, the migratetype is temporarily updated such that the page can hitch a ride on the MOVABLE pcplist. Their true type is later reassessed when flushing in free_pcppages_bulk(). However, when lock contention is detected after the type was already overridden, the bypass will then put the page on the wrong buddy list. Once on the MOVABLE buddy list, the page becomes eligible for fallbacks and even stealing. In the case of HIGHATOMIC, otherwise ineligible allocations can dip into the highatomic reserves. In the case of CMA, the page can be lost from the CMA region permanently. Use a separate pcpmigratetype variable for the pcplist override. Use the original migratetype when going directly to the buddy. This fixes the bug and should make the intentions more obvious in the code. Originally sent here to address the HIGHATOMIC case: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230821183733.106619-4-hannes@cmpxchg.org/ Changelog updated in response to the CMA-specific bug report.

mm: page_alloc: remove stale CMA guard code In the past, movable allocations could be disallowed from CMA through PF_MEMALLOC_PIN. As CMA pages are funneled through the MOVABLE pcplist, this required filtering that cornercase during allocations, such that pinnable allocations wouldn't accidentally get a CMA page. However, since 8e3560d963d2 ("mm: honor PF_MEMALLOC_PIN for all movable pages"), PF_MEMALLOC_PIN automatically excludes __GFP_MOVABLE. Once again, MOVABLE implies CMA is allowed. Remove the stale filtering code. Also remove a stale comment that was introduced as part of the filtering code, because the filtering let order-0 pages fall through to the buddy allocator. See 1d91df85f399 ("mm/page_alloc: handle a missing case for memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs") for context. The comment's been obsolete since the introduction of the explicit ALLOC_HIGHATOMIC flag in eb2e2b425c69 ("mm/page_alloc: explicitly record high-order atomic allocations in alloc_flags").

mm/page_alloc: use write_seqlock_irqsave() instead write_seqlock() + local_irq_save(). __build_all_zonelists() acquires zonelist_update_seq by first disabling interrupts via local_irq_save() and then acquiring the seqlock with write_seqlock(). This is troublesome and leads to problems on PREEMPT_RT. The problem is that the inner spinlock_t becomes a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT and must not be acquired with disabled interrupts. The API provides write_seqlock_irqsave() which does the right thing in one step. printk_deferred_enter() has to be invoked in non-migrate-able context to ensure that deferred printing is enabled and disabled on the same CPU. This is the case after zonelist_update_seq has been acquired. There was discussion on the first submission that the order should be: local_irq_disable(); printk_deferred_enter(); write_seqlock(); to avoid pitfalls like having an unaccounted printk() coming from write_seqlock_irqsave() before printk_deferred_enter() is invoked. The only origin of such a printk() can be a lockdep splat because the lockdep annotation happens after the sequence count is incremented. This is exceptional and subject to change. It was also pointed that PREEMPT_RT can be affected by the printk problem since its write_seqlock_irqsave() does not really disable interrupts. This isn't the case because PREEMPT_RT's printk implementation differs from the mainline implementation in two important aspects: - Printing happens in a dedicated threads and not at during the invocation of printk(). - In emergency cases where synchronous printing is used, a different driver is used which does not use tty_port::lock. Acquire zonelist_update_seq with write_seqlock_irqsave() and then defer printk output.

These compaction cleanups are split out from the huge page allocator series[1], as requested by reviewer feedback. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230418191313.268131-1-hannes@cmpxchg.org/ This patch (of 5): The compaction result helpers encode quirks that are specific to the allocator's retry logic. E.g. COMPACT_SUCCESS and COMPACT_COMPLETE actually represent failures that should be retried upon, and so on. I frequently found myself pulling up the helper implementation in order to understand and work on the retry logic. They're not quite clean abstractions; rather they split the retry logic into two locations. Remove the helpers and inline the checks. Then comment on the result interpretations directly where the decision making happens.

mm: Add support for unaccepted memory UEFI Specification version 2.9 introduces the concept of memory acceptance. Some Virtual Machine platforms, such as Intel TDX or AMD SEV-SNP, require memory to be accepted before it can be used by the guest. Accepting happens via a protocol specific to the Virtual Machine platform. There are several ways the kernel can deal with unaccepted memory: 1. Accept all the memory during boot. It is easy to implement and it doesn't have runtime cost once the system is booted. The downside is very long boot time. Accept can be parallelized to multiple CPUs to keep it manageable (i.e. via DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT), but it tends to saturate memory bandwidth and does not scale beyond the point. 2. Accept a block of memory on the first use. It requires more infrastructure and changes in page allocator to make it work, but it provides good boot time. On-demand memory accept means latency spikes every time kernel steps onto a new memory block. The spikes will go away once workload data set size gets stabilized or all memory gets accepted. 3. Accept all memory in background. Introduce a thread (or multiple) that gets memory accepted proactively. It will minimize time the system experience latency spikes on memory allocation while keeping low boot time. This approach cannot function on its own. It is an extension of #2: background memory acceptance requires functional scheduler, but the page allocator may need to tap into unaccepted memory before that. The downside of the approach is that these threads also steal CPU cycles and memory bandwidth from the user's workload and may hurt user experience. Implement #1 and #2 for now. #2 is the default. Some workloads may want to use #1 with accept_memory=eager in kernel command line. #3 can be implemented later based on user's demands. Support of unaccepted memory requires a few changes in core-mm code: - memblock accepts memory on allocation. It serves early boot memory allocations and doesn't limit them to pre-accepted pool of memory. - page allocator accepts memory on the first allocation of the page. When kernel runs out of accepted memory, it accepts memory until the high watermark is reached. It helps to minimize fragmentation. EFI code will provide two helpers if the platform supports unaccepted memory: - accept_memory() makes a range of physical addresses accepted. - range_contains_unaccepted_memory() checks anything within the range of physical addresses requires acceptance.

mm/page_alloc: add some comments to explain the possible hole in __pageblock_pfn_to_page() Now the __pageblock_pfn_to_page() is used by set_zone_contiguous(), which checks whether the given zone contains holes, and uses pfn_to_online_page() to validate if the start pfn is online and valid, as well as using pfn_valid() to validate the end pfn. However, the __pageblock_pfn_to_page() function may return non-NULL even if the end pfn of a pageblock is in a memory hole in some situations. For example, if the pageblock order is MAX_ORDER, which will fall into 2 sub-sections, and the end pfn of the pageblock may be hole even though the start pfn is online and valid. See below memory layout as an example and suppose the pageblock order is MAX_ORDER. [ 0.000000] Zone ranges: [ 0.000000] DMA [mem 0x0000000040000000-0x00000000ffffffff] [ 0.000000] DMA32 empty [ 0.000000] Normal [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000001fa7ffffff] [ 0.000000] Movable zone start for each node [ 0.000000] Early memory node ranges [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000000040000000-0x0000001fa3c7ffff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa3c80000-0x0000001fa3ffffff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa4000000-0x0000001fa402ffff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa4030000-0x0000001fa40effff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa40f0000-0x0000001fa73cffff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa73d0000-0x0000001fa745ffff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa7460000-0x0000001fa746ffff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa7470000-0x0000001fa758ffff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa7590000-0x0000001fa7dfffff] Focus on the last memory range, and there is a hole for the range [mem 0x0000001fa7590000-0x0000001fa7dfffff]. That means the last pageblock will contain the range from 0x1fa7c00000 to 0x1fa7ffffff, since the pageblock must be 4M aligned. And in this pageblock, these pfns will fall into 2 sub-section (the sub-section size is 2M aligned). So, the 1st sub-section (indicates pfn range: 0x1fa7c00000 - 0x1fa7dfffff ) in this pageblock is valid by calling subsection_map_init() in free_area_init(), but the 2nd sub-section (indicates pfn range: 0x1fa7e00000 - 0x1fa7ffffff ) in this pageblock is not valid. This did not break anything until now, but the zone continuous is fragile in this possible scenario. So as previous discussion[1], it is better to add some comments to explain this possible issue in case there are some future pfn walkers that rely on this.

mm, page_alloc: use check_pages_enabled static key to check tail pages Commit 700d2e9a36b9 ("mm, page_alloc: reduce page alloc/free sanity checks") has introduced a new static key check_pages_enabled to control when struct pages are sanity checked during allocation and freeing. Mel Gorman suggested that free_tail_pages_check() could use this static key as well, instead of relying on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM. That makes sense, so do that. Also rename the function to free_tail_page_prepare() because it works on a single tail page and has a struct page preparation component as well as the optional checking component. Also remove some unnecessary unlikely() within static_branch_unlikely() statements that Mel pointed out for commit 700d2e9a36b9.

kasan: remove PG_skip_kasan_poison flag Code inspection reveals that PG_skip_kasan_poison is redundant with kasantag, because the former is intended to be set iff the latter is the match-all tag. It can also be observed that it's basically pointless to poison pages which have kasantag=0, because any pages with this tag would have been pointed to by pointers with match-all tags, so poisoning the pages would have little to no effect in terms of bug detection. Therefore, change the condition in should_skip_kasan_poison() to check kasantag instead, and remove PG_skip_kasan_poison and associated flags.

mm, page_alloc: reduce page alloc/free sanity checks Historically, we have performed sanity checks on all struct pages being allocated or freed, making sure they have no unexpected page flags or certain field values. This can detect insufficient cleanup and some cases of use-after-free, although on its own it can't always identify the culprit. The result is a warning and the "bad page" being leaked. The checks do need some cpu cycles, so in 4.7 with commits 479f854a207c ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP") and 4db7548ccbd9 ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of freed pages until a PCP drain") they were no longer performed in the hot paths when allocating and freeing from pcplists, but only when pcplists are bypassed, refilled or drained. For debugging purposes, with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled the checks were instead still done in the hot paths and not when refilling or draining pcplists. With 4462b32c9285 ("mm, page_alloc: more extensive free page checking with debug_pagealloc"), enabling debug_pagealloc also moved the sanity checks back to hot pahs. When both debug_pagealloc and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM are enabled, the checks are done both in hotpaths and pcplist refill/drain. Even though the non-debug default today might seem to be a sensible tradeoff between overhead and ability to detect bad pages, on closer look it's arguably not. As most allocations go through the pcplists, catching any bad pages when refilling or draining pcplists has only a small chance, insufficient for debugging or serious hardening purposes. On the other hand the cost of the checks is concentrated in the already expensive drain/refill batching operations, and those are done under the often contended zone lock. That was recently identified as an issue for page allocation and the zone lock contention reduced by moving the checks outside of the locked section with a patch "mm: reduce lock contention of pcp buffer refill", but the cost of the checks is still visible compared to their removal [1]. In the pcplist draining path free_pcppages_bulk() the checks are still done under zone->lock. Thus, remove the checks from pcplist refill and drain paths completely. Introduce a static key check_pages_enabled to control checks during page allocation a freeing (whether pcplist is used or bypassed). The static key is enabled if either is true: - kernel is built with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y (debugging) - debug_pagealloc or page poisoning is boot-time enabled (debugging) - init_on_alloc or init_on_free is boot-time enabled (hardening) The resulting user visible changes: - no checks when draining/refilling pcplists - less overhead, with likely no practical reduction of ability to catch bad pages - no checks when bypassing pcplists in default config (no debugging/hardening) - less overhead etc. as above - on typical hardened kernels [2], checks are now performed on each page allocation/free (previously only when bypassing/draining/refilling pcplists) - the init_on_alloc/init_on_free enabled should be sufficient indication for preferring more costly alloc/free operations for hardening purposes and we shouldn't need to introduce another toggle - code (various wrappers) removal and simplification [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/68ba44d8-6899-c018-dcb3-36f3a96e6bea@sra.uni-hannover.de/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/63ebc499.a70a0220.9ac51.29ea@mx.google.com/ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: make check_pages_enabled static] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230216095131.17336-1-vbabka@suse.cz Reported-by: Alexander Halbuer <halbuer@sra.uni-hannover.de> Reported-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

mm: reduce lock contention of pcp buffer refill rmqueue_bulk() batches the allocation of multiple elements to refill the per-CPU buffers into a single hold of the zone lock. Each element is allocated and checked using check_pcp_refill(). The check touches every related struct page which is especially expensive for higher order allocations (huge pages). This patch reduces the time holding the lock by moving the check out of the critical section similar to rmqueue_buddy() which allocates a single element. Measurements of parallel allocation-heavy workloads show a reduction of the average huge page allocation latency of 50 percent for two cores and nearly 90 percent for 24 cores.

mm: page_alloc: skip regions with hugetlbfs pages when allocating 1G pages A bug was reported by Yuanxi Liu where allocating 1G pages at runtime is taking an excessive amount of time for large amounts of memory. Further testing allocating huge pages that the cost is linear i.e. if allocating 1G pages in batches of 10 then the time to allocate nr_hugepages from 10->20->30->etc increases linearly even though 10 pages are allocated at each step. Profiles indicated that much of the time is spent checking the validity within already existing huge pages and then attempting a migration that fails after isolating the range, draining pages and a whole lot of other useless work. Commit eb14d4eefdc4 ("mm,page_alloc: drop unnecessary checks from pfn_range_valid_contig") removed two checks, one which ignored huge pages for contiguous allocations as huge pages can sometimes migrate. While there may be value on migrating a 2M page to satisfy a 1G allocation, it's potentially expensive if the 1G allocation fails and it's pointless to try moving a 1G page for a new 1G allocation or scan the tail pages for valid PFNs. Reintroduce the PageHuge check and assume any contiguous region with hugetlbfs pages is unsuitable for a new 1G allocation. The hpagealloc test allocates huge pages in batches and reports the average latency per page over time. This test happens just after boot when fragmentation is not an issue.

mm/page_alloc: fix potential deadlock on zonelist_update_seq seqlock syzbot is reporting circular locking dependency which involves zonelist_update_seq seqlock [1], for this lock is checked by memory allocation requests which do not need to be retried. One deadlock scenario is kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) from an interrupt handler. CPU0 ---- __build_all_zonelists() { write_seqlock(&zonelist_update_seq); // makes zonelist_update_seq.seqcount odd // e.g. timer interrupt handler runs at this moment some_timer_func() { kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) { __alloc_pages_slowpath() { read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) { // spins forever because zonelist_update_seq.seqcount is odd } } } } // e.g. timer interrupt handler finishes write_sequnlock(&zonelist_update_seq); // makes zonelist_update_seq.seqcount even } This deadlock scenario can be easily eliminated by not calling read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) from !__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM allocation requests, for retry is applicable to only __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM allocation requests. But Michal Hocko does not know whether we should go with this approach. Another deadlock scenario which syzbot is reporting is a race between kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) from tty_insert_flip_string_and_push_buffer() with port->lock held and printk() from __build_all_zonelists() with zonelist_update_seq held. CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- pty_write() { tty_insert_flip_string_and_push_buffer() { __build_all_zonelists() { write_seqlock(&zonelist_update_seq); build_zonelists() { printk() { vprintk() { vprintk_default() { vprintk_emit() { console_unlock() { console_flush_all() { console_emit_next_record() { con->write() = serial8250_console_write() { spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock, flags); tty_insert_flip_string() { tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag() { __tty_buffer_request_room() { tty_buffer_alloc() { kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC | __GFP_NOWARN) { __alloc_pages_slowpath() { zonelist_iter_begin() { read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq); // spins forever because zonelist_update_seq.seqcount is odd spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock, flags); // spins forever because port->lock is held } } } } } } } } spin_unlock_irqrestore(&port->lock, flags); // message is printed to console spin_unlock_irqrestore(&port->lock, flags); } } } } } } } } } write_sequnlock(&zonelist_update_seq); } } } This deadlock scenario can be eliminated by preventing interrupt context from calling kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) and preventing printk() from calling console_flush_all() while zonelist_update_seq.seqcount is odd. Since Petr Mladek thinks that __build_all_zonelists() can become a candidate for deferring printk() [2], let's address this problem by disabling local interrupts in order to avoid kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) and disabling synchronous printk() in order to avoid console_flush_all() . As a side effect of minimizing duration of zonelist_update_seq.seqcount being odd by disabling synchronous printk(), latency at read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) for both !__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM and __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM allocation requests will be reduced. Although, from lockdep perspective, not calling read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) (i.e. do not record unnecessary locking dependency) from interrupt context is still preferable, even if we don't allow calling kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) inside write_seqlock(&zonelist_update_seq)/write_sequnlock(&zonelist_update_seq) section...

Revert "kasan: drop skip_kasan_poison variable in free_pages_prepare" This reverts commit 487a32ec24be819e747af8c2ab0d5c515508086a. should_skip_kasan_poison() reads the PG_skip_kasan_poison flag from page->flags. However, this line of code in free_pages_prepare(): page->flags &= ~PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP; clears most of page->flags, including PG_skip_kasan_poison, before calling should_skip_kasan_poison(), which meant that it would never return true as a result of the page flag being set. Therefore, fix the code to call should_skip_kasan_poison() before clearing the flags, as we were doing before the reverted patch. This fixes a measurable performance regression introduced in the reverted commit, where munmap() takes longer than intended if HW tags KASAN is supported and enabled at runtime. Without this patch, we see a single-digit percentage performance regression in a particular mmap()-heavy benchmark when enabling HW tags KASAN, and with the patch, there is no statistically significant performance impact when enabling HW tags KASAN.

mm: memcontrol: rename memcg_kmem_enabled() Currently there are two kmem-related helper functions with a confusing semantics: memcg_kmem_enabled() and mem_cgroup_kmem_disabled(). The problem is that an obvious expectation memcg_kmem_enabled() == !mem_cgroup_kmem_disabled(), can be false. mem_cgroup_kmem_disabled() is similar to mem_cgroup_disabled(): it returns true only if CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not set or the kmem accounting is disabled using a boot time kernel option "cgroup.memory=nokmem". It never changes the value dynamically. memcg_kmem_enabled() is different: it always returns false until the first non-root memory cgroup will get online (assuming the kernel memory accounting is enabled). It's goal is to improve the performance on systems without the cgroupfs mounted/memory controller enabled or on the systems with only the root memory cgroup. To make things more obvious and avoid potential bugs, let's rename memcg_kmem_enabled() to memcg_kmem_online().

mm: page_alloc: call panic() when memoryless node allocation fails In free_area_init(), we will continue to run after allocation of memoryless node pgdat fails. However, in the subsequent process (such as when initializing zonelist), the case that NODE_DATA(nid) is NULL is not handled, which will cause panic. Instead of this, it's better to call panic() directly when the memory allocation fails during system boot.

kasan: reset page tags properly with sampling The implementation of page_alloc poisoning sampling assumed that tag_clear_highpage resets page tags for __GFP_ZEROTAGS allocations. However, this is no longer the case since commit 70c248aca9e7 ("mm: kasan: Skip unpoisoning of user pages"). This leads to kernel crashes when MTE-enabled userspace mappings are used with Hardware Tag-Based KASAN enabled. Reset page tags for __GFP_ZEROTAGS allocations in post_alloc_hook().

mm: discard __GFP_ATOMIC __GFP_ATOMIC serves little purpose. Its main effect is to set ALLOC_HARDER which adds a few little boosts to increase the chance of an allocation succeeding, one of which is to lower the water-mark at which it will succeed. It is *always* paired with __GFP_HIGH which sets ALLOC_HIGH which also adjusts this watermark. It is probable that other users of __GFP_HIGH should benefit from the other little bonuses that __GFP_ATOMIC gets. __GFP_ATOMIC also gives a warning if used with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM. There is little point to this. We already get a might_sleep() warning if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is set. __GFP_ATOMIC allows the "watermark_boost" to be side-stepped. It is probable that testing ALLOC_HARDER is a better fit here. __GFP_ATOMIC is used by tegra-smmu.c to check if the allocation might sleep. This should test __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM instead. This patch: - removes __GFP_ATOMIC - allows __GFP_HIGH allocations to ignore watermark boosting as well as GFP_ATOMIC requests. - makes other adjustments as suggested by the above. The net result is not change to GFP_ATOMIC allocations. Other allocations that use __GFP_HIGH will benefit from a few different extra privileges. This affects: xen, dm, md, ntfs3 the vermillion frame buffer hibernation ksm swap all of which likely produce more benefit than cost if these selected allocation are more likely to succeed quickly.

In preparation for the removal of GFP_ATOMIC redefine __GFP_ATOMIC to simply mean non-blocking and renaming ALLOC_HARDER to ALLOC_NON_BLOCK accordingly. __GFP_HIGH is required for access to reserves but non-blocking is granted more access. For example, GFP_NOWAIT is non-blocking but has no special access to reserves. A __GFP_NOFAIL blocking allocation is granted access similar to __GFP_HIGH if the only alternative is an OOM kill.

mm/page_alloc: treat RT tasks similar to __GFP_HIGH RT tasks are allowed to dip below the min reserve but ALLOC_HARDER is typically combined with ALLOC_MIN_RESERVE so RT tasks are a little unusual. While there is some justification for allowing RT tasks access to memory reserves, there is a strong chance that a RT task that is also under memory pressure is at risk of missing deadlines anyway. Relax how much reserves an RT task can access by treating it the same as __GFP_HIGH allocations. Note that in a future kernel release that the RT special casing will be removed. Hard realtime tasks should be locking down resources in advance and ensuring enough memory is available. Even a soft-realtime task like audio or video live decoding which cannot jitter should be allocating both memory and any disk space required up-front before the recording starts instead of relying on reserves. At best, reserve access will only delay the problem by a very short interval.

mm/page_alloc: rename ALLOC_HIGH to ALLOC_MIN_RESERVE Patch series "Discard __GFP_ATOMIC", v3. Neil's patch has been residing in mm-unstable as commit 2fafb4fe8f7a ("mm: discard __GFP_ATOMIC") for a long time and recently brought up again. Most recently, I was worried that __GFP_HIGH allocations could use high-order atomic reserves which is unintentional but there was no response so lets revisit -- this series reworks how min reserves are used, protects highorder reserves and then finishes with Neil's patch with very minor modifications so it fits on top. There was a review discussion on renaming __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM to __GFP_ALLOW_BLOCKING but I didn't think it was that big an issue and is orthogonal to the removal of __GFP_ATOMIC. There were some concerns about how the gfp flags affect the min reserves but it never reached a solid conclusion so I made my own attempt. The series tries to iron out some of the details on how reserves are used. ALLOC_HIGH becomes ALLOC_MIN_RESERVE and ALLOC_HARDER becomes ALLOC_NON_BLOCK and documents how the reserves are affected. For example, ALLOC_NON_BLOCK (no direct reclaim) on its own allows 25% of the min reserve. ALLOC_MIN_RESERVE (__GFP_HIGH) allows 50% and both combined allows deeper access again. ALLOC_OOM allows access to 75%. High-order atomic allocations are explicitly handled with the caveat that no __GFP_ATOMIC flag means that any high-order allocation that specifies GFP_HIGH and cannot enter direct reclaim will be treated as if it was GFP_ATOMIC. This patch (of 6): __GFP_HIGH aliases to ALLOC_HIGH but the name does not really hint what it means. As ALLOC_HIGH is internal to the allocator, rename it to ALLOC_MIN_RESERVE to document that the min reserves can be depleted.

mm: multi-gen LRU: per-node lru_gen_folio lists For each node, memcgs are divided into two generations: the old and the young. For each generation, memcgs are randomly sharded into multiple bins to improve scalability. For each bin, an RCU hlist_nulls is virtually divided into three segments: the head, the tail and the default. An onlining memcg is added to the tail of a random bin in the old generation. The eviction starts at the head of a random bin in the old generation. The per-node memcg generation counter, whose reminder (mod 2) indexes the old generation, is incremented when all its bins become empty. There are four operations: 1. MEMCG_LRU_HEAD, which moves an memcg to the head of a random bin in its current generation (old or young) and updates its "seg" to "head"; 2. MEMCG_LRU_TAIL, which moves an memcg to the tail of a random bin in its current generation (old or young) and updates its "seg" to "tail"; 3. MEMCG_LRU_OLD, which moves an memcg to the head of a random bin in the old generation, updates its "gen" to "old" and resets its "seg" to "default"; 4. MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG, which moves an memcg to the tail of a random bin in the young generation, updates its "gen" to "young" and resets its "seg" to "default". The events that trigger the above operations are: 1. Exceeding the soft limit, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_HEAD; 2. The first attempt to reclaim an memcg below low, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_TAIL; 3. The first attempt to reclaim an memcg below reclaimable size threshold, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_TAIL; 4. The second attempt to reclaim an memcg below reclaimable size threshold, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG; 5. Attempting to reclaim an memcg below min, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG; 6. Finishing the aging on the eviction path, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG; 7. Offlining an memcg, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_OLD. Note that memcg LRU only applies to global reclaim, and the round-robin incrementing of their max_seq counters ensures the eventual fairness to all eligible memcgs. For memcg reclaim, it still relies on mem_cgroup_iter().

kasan: allow sampling page_alloc allocations for HW_TAGS As Hardware Tag-Based KASAN is intended to be used in production, its performance impact is crucial. As page_alloc allocations tend to be big, tagging and checking all such allocations can introduce a significant slowdown. Add two new boot parameters that allow to alleviate that slowdown: - kasan.page_alloc.sample, which makes Hardware Tag-Based KASAN tag only every Nth page_alloc allocation with the order configured by the second added parameter (default: tag every such allocation). - kasan.page_alloc.sample.order, which makes sampling enabled by the first parameter only affect page_alloc allocations with the order equal or greater than the specified value (default: 3, see below). The exact performance improvement caused by using the new parameters depends on their values and the applied workload. The chosen default value for kasan.page_alloc.sample.order is 3, which matches both PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER and SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER. This is done for two reasons: 1. PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER is "the order at which allocations are deemed costly to service", which corresponds to the idea that only large and thus costly allocations are supposed to sampled. 2. One of the workloads targeted by this patch is a benchmark that sends a large amount of data over a local loopback connection. Most multi-page data allocations in the networking subsystem have the order of SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER (or PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER). When running a local loopback test on a testing MTE-enabled device in sync mode, enabling Hardware Tag-Based KASAN introduces a ~50% slowdown. Applying this patch and setting kasan.page_alloc.sampling to a value higher than 1 allows to lower the slowdown. The performance improvement saturates around the sampling interval value of 10 with the default sampling page order of 3. This lowers the slowdown to ~20%. The slowdown in real scenarios involving the network will likely be better. Enabling page_alloc sampling has a downside: KASAN misses bad accesses to a page_alloc allocation that has not been tagged. This lowers the value of KASAN as a security mitigation. However, based on measuring the number of page_alloc allocations of different orders during boot in a test build, sampling with the default kasan.page_alloc.sample.order value affects only ~7% of allocations. The rest ~93% of allocations are still checked deterministically.

Fix page corruption caused by racy check in __free_pages When we upgraded our kernel, we started seeing some page corruption like the following consistently: BUG: Bad page state in process ganesha.nfsd pfn:1304ca page:0000000022261c55 refcount:0 mapcount:-128 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 pfn:0x1304ca flags: 0x17ffffc0000000() raw: 0017ffffc0000000 ffff8a513ffd4c98 ffffeee24b35ec08 0000000000000000 raw: 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 00000000ffffff7f 0000000000000000 page dumped because: nonzero mapcount CPU: 0 PID: 15567 Comm: ganesha.nfsd Kdump: loaded Tainted: P B O 5.10.158-1.nutanix.20221209.el7.x86_64 #1 Hardware name: VMware, Inc.

Sometimes, it would also show up as corruption in the free list pointer and cause crashes. After bisecting the issue, we found the issue started from commit e320d3012d25 ("mm/page_alloc.c: fix freeing non-compound pages"): if (put_page_testzero(page)) free_the_page(page, order); else if (!PageHead(page)) while (order-- > 0) free_the_page(page + (1 << order), order); So the problem is the check PageHead is racy because at this point we already dropped our reference to the page. So even if we came in with compound page, the page can already be freed and PageHead can return false and we will end up freeing all the tail pages causing double free.

mm/page_alloc: simplify locking during free_unref_page_list While freeing a large list, the zone lock will be released and reacquired to avoid long hold times since commit c24ad77d962c ("mm/page_alloc.c: avoid excessive IRQ disabled times in free_unref_page_list()"). As suggested by Vlastimil Babka, the lockrelease/reacquire logic can be simplified by reusing the logic that acquires a different lock when changing zones.

mm/page_alloc: leave IRQs enabled for per-cpu page allocations The pcp_spin_lock_irqsave protecting the PCP lists is IRQ-safe as a task allocating from the PCP must not re-enter the allocator from IRQ context. In each instance where IRQ-reentrancy is possible, the lock is acquired using pcp_spin_trylock_irqsave() even though IRQs are disabled and re-entrancy is impossible. Demote the lock to pcp_spin_lock avoids an IRQ disable/enable in the common case at the cost of some IRQ allocations taking a slower path. If the PCP lists need to be refilled, the zone lock still needs to disable IRQs but that will only happen on PCP refill and drain. If an IRQ is raised when a PCP allocation is in progress, the trylock will fail and fallback to using the buddy lists directly. Note that this may not be a universal win if an interrupt-intensive workload also allocates heavily from interrupt context and contends heavily on the zone->lock as a result.

mm/page_alloc: always remove pages from temporary list Patch series "Leave IRQs enabled for per-cpu page allocations", v3. This patch (of 2): free_unref_page_list() has neglected to remove pages properly from the list of pages to free since forever. It works by coincidence because list_add happened to do the right thing adding the pages to just the PCP lists. However, a later patch added pages to either the PCP list or the zone list but only properly deleted the page from the list in one path leading to list corruption and a subsequent failure. As a preparation patch, always delete the pages from one list properly before adding to another. On its own, this fixes nothing although it adds a fractional amount of overhead but is critical to the next patch.

mm,thp,rmap: subpages_mapcount COMPOUND_MAPPED if PMD-mapped Can the lock_compound_mapcount() bit_spin_lock apparatus be removed now? Yes. Not by atomic64_t or cmpxchg games, those get difficult on 32-bit; but if we slightly abuse subpages_mapcount by additionally demanding that one bit be set there when the compound page is PMD-mapped, then a cascade of two atomic ops is able to maintain the stats without bit_spin_lock. This is harder to reason about than when bit_spin_locked, but I believe safe; and no drift in stats detected when testing. When there are racing removes and adds, of course the sequence of operations is less well- defined; but each operation on subpages_mapcount is atomically good. What might be disastrous, is if subpages_mapcount could ever fleetingly appear negative: but the pte lock (or pmd lock) these rmap functions are called under, ensures that a last remove cannot race ahead of a first add. Continue to make an exception for hugetlb (PageHuge) pages, though that exception can be easily removed by a further commit if necessary: leave subpages_mapcount 0, don't bother with COMPOUND_MAPPED in its case, just carry on checking compound_mapcount too in folio_mapped(), page_mapped(). Evidence is that this way goes slightly faster than the previous implementation in all cases (pmds after ptes now taking around 103ms); and relieves us of worrying about contention on the bit_spin_lock.

mm,thp,rmap: simplify compound page mapcount handling Compound page (folio) mapcount calculations have been different for anon and file (or shmem) THPs, and involved the obscure PageDoubleMap flag. And each huge mapping and unmapping of a file (or shmem) THP involved atomically incrementing and decrementing the mapcount of every subpage of that huge page, dirtying many struct page cachelines. Add subpages_mapcount field to the struct folio and first tail page, so that the total of subpage mapcounts is available in one place near the head: then page_mapcount() and total_mapcount() and page_mapped(), and their folio equivalents, are so quick that anon and file and hugetlb don't need to be optimized differently. Delete the unloved PageDoubleMap. page_add and page_remove rmap functions must now maintain the subpages_mapcount as well as the subpage _mapcount, when dealing with pte mappings of huge pages; and correct maintenance of NR_ANON_MAPPED and NR_FILE_MAPPED statistics still needs reading through the subpages, using nr_subpages_unmapped() - but only when first or last pmd mapping finds subpages_mapcount raised (double-map case, not the common case). But are those counts (used to decide when to split an anon THP, and in vmscan's pagecache_reclaimable heuristic) correctly maintained? Not quite: since page_remove_rmap() (and also split_huge_pmd()) is often called without page lock, there can be races when a subpage pte mapcount 0<->1 while compound pmd mapcount 0<->1 is scanning - races which the previous implementation had prevented. The statistics might become inaccurate, and even drift down until they underflow through 0. That is not good enough, but is better dealt with in a followup patch. Update a few comments on first and second tail page overlaid fields. hugepage_add_new_anon_rmap() has to "increment" compound_mapcount, but subpages_mapcount and compound_pincount are already correctly at 0, so delete its reinitialization of compound_pincount. A simple 100 X munmap(mmap(2GB, MAP_SHARED|MAP_POPULATE, tmpfs), 2GB) took 18 seconds on small pages, and used to take 1 second on huge pages, but now takes 119 milliseconds on huge pages. Mapping by pmds a second time used to take 860ms and now takes 92ms; mapping by pmds after mapping by ptes (when the scan is needed) used to take 870ms and now takes 495ms. But there might be some benchmarks which would show a slowdown, because tail struct pages now fall out of cache until final freeing checks them.

mm: prep_compound_tail() clear page->private Although page allocation always clears page->private in the first page or head page of an allocation, it has never made a point of clearing page->private in the tails (though 0 is often what is already there). But now commit 71e2d666ef85 ("mm/huge_memory: do not clobber swp_entry_t during THP split") issues a warning when page_tail->private is found to be non-0 (unless it's swapcache). Change that warning to dump page_tail (which also dumps head), instead of just the head: so far we have seen dead000000000122, dead000000000003, dead000000000001 or 0000000000000002 in the raw output for tail private. We could just delete the warning, but today's consensus appears to want page->private to be 0, unless there's a good reason for it to be set: so now clear it in prep_compound_tail() (more general than just for THP; but not for high order allocation, which makes no pass down the tails).

mm: free device private pages have zero refcount Since 27674ef6c73f ("mm: remove the extra ZONE_DEVICE struct page refcount") device private pages have no longer had an extra reference count when the page is in use. However before handing them back to the owning device driver we add an extra reference count such that free pages have a reference count of one. This makes it difficult to tell if a page is free or not because both free and in use pages will have a non-zero refcount. Instead we should return pages to the drivers page allocator with a zero reference count. Kernel code can then safely use kernel functions such as get_page_unless_zero().

mm/page_alloc: fix freeing static percpu memory The size of struct per_cpu_zonestat can be 0 on !SMP && !NUMA. In that case, zone->per_cpu_zonestats will always equal to boot_zonestats. But in zone_pcp_reset(), zone->per_cpu_zonestats is freed via free_percpu() directly without checking against boot_zonestats first. boot_zonestats will be released by free_percpu() unexpectedly.

mm/page_alloc: ensure kswapd doesn't accidentally go to sleep Patch series "A few cleanup patches for mm", v2. This series contains a few cleanup patches to remove the obsolete comments and functions, use helper macro to improve readability and so on. More details can be found in the respective changelogs. This patch (of 16): If ALLOC_KSWAPD is set, wake_all_kswapds() will be called to ensure kswapd doesn't accidentally go to sleep. But when reserve_flags is set, alloc_flags will be overwritten and ALLOC_KSWAPD is thus lost. Preserve the ALLOC_KSWAPD flag in alloc_flags to ensure kswapd won't go to sleep accidentally.

security: kmsan: fix interoperability with auto-initialization Heap and stack initialization is great, but not when we are trying uses of uninitialized memory. When the kernel is built with KMSAN, having kernel memory initialization enabled may introduce false negatives. We disable CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN and CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO under CONFIG_KMSAN, making it impossible to auto-initialize stack variables in KMSAN builds. We also disable CONFIG_INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON and CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON to prevent accidental use of heap auto-initialization. We however still let the users enable heap auto-initialization at boot-time (by setting init_on_alloc=1 or init_on_free=1), in which case a warning is printed.

When the memblock allocator returns pages to pagealloc, we reserve 2/3 of those pages and use them as metadata for the remaining 1/3. Once KMSAN starts, every page allocated by pagealloc has its associated shadow and origin pages. kmsan_initialize() initializes the bookkeeping for init_task and enables KMSAN.

page_ext: introduce boot parameter 'early_page_ext' In commit 2f1ee0913ce5 ("Revert "mm: use early_pfn_to_nid in page_ext_init""), we call page_ext_init() after page_alloc_init_late() to avoid some panic problem. It seems that we cannot track early page allocations in current kernel even if page structure has been initialized early. This patch introduces a new boot parameter 'early_page_ext' to resolve this problem. If we pass it to the kernel, page_ext_init() will be moved up and the feature 'deferred initialization of struct pages' will be disabled to initialize the page allocator early and prevent the panic problem above. It can help us to catch early page allocations. This is useful especially when we find that the free memory value is not the same right after different kernel booting.

mm: add NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE to count secondary page table uses. We keep track of several kernel memory stats (total kernel memory, page tables, stack, vmalloc, etc) on multiple levels (global, per-node, per-memcg, etc). These stats give insights to users to how much memory is used by the kernel and for what purposes. Currently, memory used by KVM mmu is not accounted in any of those kernel memory stats. This patch series accounts the memory pages used by KVM for page tables in those stats in a new NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE stat. This stat can be later extended to account for other types of secondary pages tables (e.g. iommu page tables). KVM has a decent number of large allocations that aren't for page tables, but for most of them, the number/size of those allocations scales linearly with either the number of vCPUs or the amount of memory assigned to the VM. KVM's secondary page table allocations do not scale linearly, especially when nested virtualization is in use. From a KVM perspective, NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE will scale with KVM's per-VM pages_{4k,2m,1g} stats unless the guest is doing something bizarre (e.g. accessing only 4kb chunks of 2mb pages so that KVM is forced to allocate a large number of page tables even though the guest isn't accessing that much memory). However, someone would need to either understand how KVM works to make that connection, or know (or be told) to go look at KVM's stats if they're running VMs to better decipher the stats. Furthermore, having NR_PAGETABLE side-by-side with NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE is informative. For example, when backing a VM with THP vs. HugeTLB, NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE is roughly the same, but NR_PAGETABLE is an order of magnitude higher with THP. So having this stat will at the very least prove to be useful for understanding tradeoffs between VM backing types, and likely even steer folks towards potential optimizations. The original discussion with more details about the rationale: https://lore.kernel.org/all/87ilqoi77b.wl-maz@kernel.org This stat will be used by subsequent patches to count KVM mmu memory usage.

mm: prevent page_frag_alloc() from corrupting the memory A number of drivers call page_frag_alloc() with a fragment's size > PAGE_SIZE. In low memory conditions, __page_frag_cache_refill() may fail the order 3 cache allocation and fall back to order 0; In this case, the cache will be smaller than the fragment, causing memory corruptions. Prevent this from happening by checking if the newly allocated cache is large enough for the fragment; if not, the allocation will fail and page_frag_alloc() will return NULL.

mm/page_alloc: fix race condition between build_all_zonelists and page allocation Patrick Daly reported the following problem; NODE_DATA(nid)->node_zonelists[ZONELIST_FALLBACK] - before offline operation [0] - ZONE_MOVABLE [1] - ZONE_NORMAL [2] - NULL For a GFP_KERNEL allocation, alloc_pages_slowpath() will save the offset of ZONE_NORMAL in ac->preferred_zoneref. If a concurrent memory_offline operation removes the last page from ZONE_MOVABLE, build_all_zonelists() & build_zonerefs_node() will update node_zonelists as shown below. Only populated zones are added. NODE_DATA(nid)->node_zonelists[ZONELIST_FALLBACK] - after offline operation [0] - ZONE_NORMAL [1] - NULL [2] - NULL The race is simple -- page allocation could be in progress when a memory hot-remove operation triggers a zonelist rebuild that removes zones. The allocation request will still have a valid ac->preferred_zoneref that is now pointing to NULL and triggers an OOM kill. This problem probably always existed but may be slightly easier to trigger due to 6aa303defb74 ("mm, vmscan: only allocate and reclaim from zones with pages managed by the buddy allocator") which distinguishes between zones that are completely unpopulated versus zones that have valid pages not managed by the buddy allocator (e.g. reserved, memblock, ballooning etc). Memory hotplug had multiple stages with timing considerations around managed/present page updates, the zonelist rebuild and the zone span updates. As David Hildenbrand puts it memory offlining adjusts managed+present pages of the zone essentially in one go. If after the adjustments, the zone is no longer populated (present==0), we rebuild the zone lists. Once that's done, we try shrinking the zone (start+spanned pages) -- which results in zone_start_pfn == 0 if there are no more pages. That happens *after* rebuilding the zonelists via remove_pfn_range_from_zone(). The only requirement to fix the race is that a page allocation request identifies when a zonelist rebuild has happened since the allocation request started and no page has yet been allocated. Use a seqlock_t to track zonelist updates with a lockless read-side of the zonelist and protecting the rebuild and update of the counter with a spinlock.

mm/page_alloc: replace local_lock with normal spinlock struct per_cpu_pages is no longer strictly local as PCP lists can be drained remotely using a lock for protection. While the use of local_lock works, it goes against the intent of local_lock which is for "pure CPU local concurrency control mechanisms and not suited for inter-CPU concurrency control" (Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst) local_lock protects against migration between when the percpu pointer is accessed and the pcp->lock acquired. The lock acquisition is a preemption point so in the worst case, a task could migrate to another NUMA node and accidentally allocate remote memory. The main requirement is to pin the task to a CPU that is suitable for PREEMPT_RT and !PREEMPT_RT. Replace local_lock with helpers that pin a task to a CPU, lookup the per-cpu structure and acquire the embedded lock. It's similar to local_lock without breaking the intent behind the API. It is not a complete API as only the parts needed for PCP-alloc are implemented but in theory, the generic helpers could be promoted to a general API if there was demand for an embedded lock within a per-cpu struct with a guarantee that the per-cpu structure locked matches the running CPU and cannot use get_cpu_var due to RT concerns. PCP requires these semantics to avoid accidentally allocating remote memory.

mm/page_alloc: remotely drain per-cpu lists Some setups, notably NOHZ_FULL CPUs, are too busy to handle the per-cpu drain work queued by __drain_all_pages(). So introduce a new mechanism to remotely drain the per-cpu lists. It is made possible by remotely locking 'struct per_cpu_pages' new per-cpu spinlocks. A benefit of this new scheme is that drain operations are now migration safe. There was no observed performance degradation vs. the previous scheme. Both netperf and hackbench were run in parallel to triggering the __drain_all_pages(NULL, true) code path around ~100 times per second. The new scheme performs a bit better (~5%), although the important point here is there are no performance regressions vs. the previous mechanism. Per-cpu lists draining happens only in slow paths. Minchan Kim tested an earlier version and reported; My workload is not NOHZ CPUs but run apps under heavy memory pressure so they goes to direct reclaim and be stuck on drain_all_pages until work on workqueue run. unit: nanosecond max(dur) avg(dur) count(dur) 166713013 487511.77786438033 1283 From traces, system encountered the drain_all_pages 1283 times and worst case was 166ms and avg was 487us. The other problem was alloc_contig_range in CMA. The PCP draining takes several hundred millisecond sometimes though there is no memory pressure or a few of pages to be migrated out but CPU were fully booked. Your patch perfectly removed those wasted time.

mm/page_alloc: protect PCP lists with a spinlock Currently the PCP lists are protected by using local_lock_irqsave to prevent migration and IRQ reentrancy but this is inconvenient. Remote draining of the lists is impossible and a workqueue is required and every task allocation/free must disable then enable interrupts which is expensive. As preparation for dealing with both of those problems, protect the lists with a spinlock. The IRQ-unsafe version of the lock is used because IRQs are already disabled by local_lock_irqsave. spin_trylock is used in combination with local_lock_irqsave() but later will be replaced with a spin_trylock_irqsave when the local_lock is removed. The per_cpu_pages still fits within the same number of cache lines after this patch relative to before the series. struct per_cpu_pages { spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */ int count; /* 4 4 */ int high; /* 8 4 */ int batch; /* 12 4 */ short int free_factor; /* 16 2 */ short int expire; /* 18 2 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct list_head lists[13]; /* 24 208 */ /* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 7 */ /* sum members: 228, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* padding: 24 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); There is overhead in the fast path due to acquiring the spinlock even though the spinlock is per-cpu and uncontended in the common case.

mm/page_alloc: use only one PCP list for THP-sized allocations The per_cpu_pages is cache-aligned on a standard x86-64 distribution configuration but a later patch will add a new field which would push the structure into the next cache line. Use only one list to store THP-sized pages on the per-cpu list. This assumes that the vast majority of THP-sized allocations are GFP_MOVABLE but even if it was another type, it would not contribute to serious fragmentation that potentially causes a later THP allocation failure. Align per_cpu_pages on the cacheline boundary to ensure there is no false cache sharing. After this patch, the structure sizing is; struct per_cpu_pages { int count; /* 0 4 */ int high; /* 4 4 */ int batch; /* 8 4 */ short int free_factor; /* 12 2 */ short int expire; /* 14 2 */ struct list_head lists[13]; /* 16 208 */ /* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 6 */ /* padding: 32 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220624125423.6126-3-mgorman@techsingularity.net Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Tested-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Acked-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Tested-by: Yu Zhao <yuzhao@google.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Cc: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@samsung.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Cc: Nicolas Saenz Julienne <nsaenzju@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

mm/page_alloc: add page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list Patch series "Drain remote per-cpu directly", v5. Some setups, notably NOHZ_FULL CPUs, may be running realtime or latency-sensitive applications that cannot tolerate interference due to per-cpu drain work queued by __drain_all_pages(). Introduce a new mechanism to remotely drain the per-cpu lists. It is made possible by remotely locking 'struct per_cpu_pages' new per-cpu spinlocks. This has two advantages, the time to drain is more predictable and other unrelated tasks are not interrupted. This series has the same intent as Nicolas' series "mm/page_alloc: Remote per-cpu lists drain support" -- avoid interference of a high priority task due to a workqueue item draining per-cpu page lists. While many workloads can tolerate a brief interruption, it may cause a real-time task running on a NOHZ_FULL CPU to miss a deadline and at minimum, the draining is non-deterministic. Currently an IRQ-safe local_lock protects the page allocator per-cpu lists. The local_lock on its own prevents migration and the IRQ disabling protects from corruption due to an interrupt arriving while a page allocation is in progress. This series adjusts the locking. A spinlock is added to struct per_cpu_pages to protect the list contents while local_lock_irq is ultimately replaced by just the spinlock in the final patch. This allows a remote CPU to safely. Follow-on work should allow the spin_lock_irqsave to be converted to spin_lock to avoid IRQs being disabled/enabled in most cases. The follow-on patch will be one kernel release later as it is relatively high risk and it'll make bisections more clear if there are any problems. Patch 1 is a cosmetic patch to clarify when page->lru is storing buddy pages and when it is storing per-cpu pages. Patch 2 shrinks per_cpu_pages to make room for a spin lock. Strictly speaking this is not necessary but it avoids per_cpu_pages consuming another cache line. Patch 3 is a preparation patch to avoid code duplication. Patch 4 is a minor correction. Patch 5 uses a spin_lock to protect the per_cpu_pages contents while still relying on local_lock to prevent migration, stabilise the pcp lookup and prevent IRQ reentrancy. Patch 6 remote drains per-cpu pages directly instead of using a workqueue. Patch 7 uses a normal spinlock instead of local_lock for remote draining This patch (of 7): The page allocator uses page->lru for storing pages on either buddy or PCP lists. Create page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list as a union with page->lru. This is simply to clarify what type of list a page is on in the page allocator. No functional change intended.

memblock: Disable mirror feature if kernelcore is not specified If system have some mirrored memory and mirrored feature is not specified in boot parameter, the basic mirrored feature will be enabled and this will lead to the following situations: - memblock memory allocation prefers mirrored region. This may have some unexpected influence on numa affinity. - contiguous memory will be split into several parts if parts of them is mirrored memory via memblock_mark_mirror(). To fix this, variable mirrored_kernelcore will be checked in memblock_mark_mirror(). Mark mirrored memory with flag MEMBLOCK_MIRROR iff kernelcore=mirror is added in the kernel parameters.

A similar argument can be made about unpoisoning, so also add __GFP_SKIP_KASAN_UNPOISON to user pages.

page_alloc: fix invalid watermark check on a negative value There was a report that a task is waiting at the throttle_direct_reclaim. The pgscan_direct_throttle in vmstat was increasing. This is a bug where zone_watermark_fast returns true even when the free is very low. The commit f27ce0e14088 ("page_alloc: consider highatomic reserve in watermark fast") changed the watermark fast to consider highatomic reserve. But it did not handle a negative value case which can be happened when reserved_highatomic pageblock is bigger than the actual free. If watermark is considered as ok for the negative value, allocating contexts for order-0 will consume all free pages without direct reclaim, and finally free page may become depleted except highatomic free. Then allocating contexts may fall into throttle_direct_reclaim. This symptom may easily happen in a system where wmark min is low and other reclaimers like kswapd does not make free pages quickly. Handle the negative case by using MIN.

mm: fix is_pinnable_page against a cma page Pages in the CMA area could have MIGRATE_ISOLATE as well as MIGRATE_CMA so the current is_pinnable_page() could miss CMA pages which have MIGRATE_ISOLATE. It ends up pinning CMA pages as longterm for the pin_user_pages() API so CMA allocations keep failing until the pin is released. CPU 0 CPU 1 - Task B cma_alloc alloc_contig_range pin_user_pages_fast(FOLL_LONGTERM) change pageblock as MIGRATE_ISOLATE internal_get_user_pages_fast lockless_pages_from_mm gup_pte_range try_grab_folio is_pinnable_page return true; So, pinned the page successfully. page migration failure with pinned page .. .. After 30 sec unpin_user_page(page) CMA allocation succeeded after 30 sec. The CMA allocation path protects the migration type change race using zone->lock but what GUP path need to know is just whether the page is on CMA area or not rather than exact migration type. Thus, we don't need zone->lock but just checks migration type in either of (MIGRATE_ISOLATE and MIGRATE_CMA). Adding the MIGRATE_ISOLATE check in is_pinnable_page could cause rejecting of pinning pages on MIGRATE_ISOLATE pageblocks even though it's neither CMA nor movable zone if the page is temporarily unmovable. However, such a migration failure by unexpected temporal refcount holding is general issue, not only come from MIGRATE_ISOLATE and the MIGRATE_ISOLATE is also transient state like other temporal elevated refcount problem.

mm/page_alloc: always attempt to allocate at least one page during bulk allocation Peter Pavlisko reported the following problem on kernel bugzilla 216007. When I try to extract an uncompressed tar archive (2.6 milion files, 760.3 GiB in size) on newly created (empty) XFS file system, after first low tens of gigabytes extracted the process hangs in iowait indefinitely. One CPU core is 100% occupied with iowait, the other CPU core is idle (on 2-core Intel Celeron G1610T). It was bisected to c9fa563072e1 ("xfs: use alloc_pages_bulk_array() for buffers") but XFS is only the messenger. The problem is that nothing is waking kswapd to reclaim some pages at a time the PCP lists cannot be refilled until some reclaim happens. The bulk allocator checks that there are some pages in the array and the original intent was that a bulk allocator did not necessarily need all the requested pages and it was best to return as quickly as possible. This was fine for the first user of the API but both NFS and XFS require the requested number of pages be available before making progress. Both could be adjusted to call the page allocator directly if a bulk allocation fails but it puts a burden on users of the API. Adjust the semantics to attempt at least one allocation via __alloc_pages() before returning so kswapd is woken if necessary. It was reported via bugzilla that the patch addressed the problem and that the tar extraction completed successfully. This may also address bug 215975 but has yet to be confirmed.

mm: fix a potential infinite loop in start_isolate_page_range() In isolate_single_pageblock() called by start_isolate_page_range(), there are some pageblock isolation issues causing a potential infinite loop when isolating a page range. This is reported by Qian Cai. 1. the pageblock was isolated by just changing pageblock migratetype without checking unmovable pages. Calling set_migratetype_isolate() to isolate pageblock properly. 2. an off-by-one error caused migrating pages unnecessarily, since the page is not crossing pageblock boundary. 3. migrating a compound page across pageblock boundary then splitting the free page later has a small race window that the free page might be allocated again, so that the code will try again, causing an potential infinite loop. Temporarily set the to-be-migrated page's pageblock to MIGRATE_ISOLATE to prevent that and bail out early if no free page is found after page migration. An additional fix to split_free_page() aims to avoid crashing in __free_one_page(). When the free page is split at the specified split_pfn_offset, free_page_order should check both the first bit of free_page_pfn and the last bit of split_pfn_offset and use the smaller one. For example, if free_page_pfn=0x10000, split_pfn_offset=0xc000, free_page_order should first be 0x8000 then 0x4000, instead of 0x4000 then 0x8000, which the original algorithm did.

mm/page_alloc: fix tracepoint mm_page_alloc_zone_locked() Currently, trace point mm_page_alloc_zone_locked() doesn't show correct information. First, when alloc_flag has ALLOC_HARDER/ALLOC_CMA, page can be allocated from MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC/MIGRATE_CMA. Nevertheless, tracepoint use requested migration type not MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC and MIGRATE_CMA. Second, after commit 44042b4498728 ("mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists") percpu-list can store high order pages. But trace point determine whether it is a refiil of percpu-list by comparing requested order and 0. To handle these problems, make mm_page_alloc_zone_locked() only be called by __rmqueue_smallest with correct migration type. With a new argument called percpu_refill, it can show roughly whether it is a refill of percpu-list.

mm: page_isolation: move has_unmovable_pages() to mm/page_isolation.c Patch series "Use pageblock_order for cma and alloc_contig_range alignment", v11. This patchset tries to remove the MAX_ORDER-1 alignment requirement for CMA and alloc_contig_range(). It prepares for my upcoming changes to make MAX_ORDER adjustable at boot time[1]. The MAX_ORDER - 1 alignment requirement comes from that alloc_contig_range() isolates pageblocks to remove free memory from buddy allocator but isolating only a subset of pageblocks within a page spanning across multiple pageblocks causes free page accounting issues. Isolated page might not be put into the right free list, since the code assumes the migratetype of the first pageblock as the whole free page migratetype. This is based on the discussion at [2]. To remove the requirement, this patchset: 1. isolates pages at pageblock granularity instead of max(MAX_ORDER_NR_PAEGS, pageblock_nr_pages); 2. splits free pages across the specified range or migrates in-use pages across the specified range then splits the freed page to avoid free page accounting issues (it happens when multiple pageblocks within a single page have different migratetypes); 3. only checks unmovable pages within the range instead of MAX_ORDER - 1 aligned range during isolation to avoid alloc_contig_range() failure when pageblocks within a MAX_ORDER - 1 aligned range are allocated separately. 4. returns pages not in the range as it did before. One optimization might come later: 1. make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a separate bit to be able to restore the original migratetypes when isolation fails in the middle of the range.

mm: create new mm/swap.h header file Patch series "MM changes to improve swap-over-NFS support". Assorted improvements for swap-via-filesystem. This is a resend of these patches, rebased on current HEAD. The only substantial changes is that swap_dirty_folio has replaced swap_set_page_dirty. Currently swap-via-fs (SWP_FS_OPS) doesn't work for any filesystem. It has previously worked for NFS but that broke a few releases back. This series changes to use a new ->swap_rw rather than ->readpage and ->direct_IO. It also makes other improvements. There is a companion series already in linux-next which fixes various issues with NFS. Once both series land, a final patch is needed which changes NFS over to use ->swap_rw. This patch (of 10): Many functions declared in include/linux/swap.h are only used within mm/ Create a new "mm/swap.h" and move some of these declarations there. Remove the redundant 'extern' from the function declarations.

mm/page_alloc: reuse tail struct pages for compound devmaps Currently memmap_init_zone_device() ends up initializing 32768 pages when it only needs to initialize 128 given tail page reuse. That number is worse with 1GB compound pages, 262144 instead of 128. Update memmap_init_zone_device() to skip redundant initialization, detailed below. When a pgmap @vmemmap_shift is set, all pages are mapped at a given huge page alignment and use compound pages to describe them as opposed to a struct per 4K. With @vmemmap_shift > 0 and when struct pages are stored in ram (!altmap) most tail pages are reused. Consequently, the amount of unique struct pages is a lot smaller than the total amount of struct pages being mapped. The altmap path is left alone since it does not support memory savings based on compound pages devmap.

mm/page_alloc: adding same penalty is enough to get round-robin order To make node order in round-robin in the same distance group, we add a penalty to the first node we got in each round. To get a round-robin order in the same distance group, we don't need to decrease the penalty since: * find_next_best_node() always iterates node in the same order * distance matters more then penalty in find_next_best_node() * in nodes with the same distance, the first one would be picked up So it is fine to increase same penalty when we get the first node in the same distance group.

mm, page_alloc: fix build_zonerefs_node() Since commit 6aa303defb74 ("mm, vmscan: only allocate and reclaim from zones with pages managed by the buddy allocator") only zones with free memory are included in a built zonelist. This is problematic when e.g. all memory of a zone has been ballooned out when zonelists are being rebuilt. The decision whether to rebuild the zonelists when onlining new memory is done based on populated_zone() returning 0 for the zone the memory will be added to. The new zone is added to the zonelists only, if it has free memory pages (managed_zone() returns a non-zero value) after the memory has been onlined. This implies, that onlining memory will always free the added pages to the allocator immediately, but this is not true in all cases: when e.g. running as a Xen guest the onlined new memory will be added only to the ballooned memory list, it will be freed only when the guest is being ballooned up afterwards. Another problem with using managed_zone() for the decision whether a zone is being added to the zonelists is, that a zone with all memory used will in fact be removed from all zonelists in case the zonelists happen to be rebuilt. Use populated_zone() when building a zonelist as it has been done before that commit. There was a report that QubesOS (based on Xen) is hitting this problem. Xen has switched to use the zone device functionality in kernel 5.9 and QubesOS wants to use memory hotplugging for guests in order to be able to start a guest with minimal memory and expand it as needed. This was the report leading to the patch.

This breaks on PREEMPT_RT since folio_lruvec_lock_irq() acquires a sleeping lock in this section. Create struct mlock_pvec which consits of the local_lock_t and the pagevec. Acquire the local_lock() before accessing the per-CPU pagevec. Replace mlock_page_drain() with a _local() version which is invoked on the local CPU and acquires the local_lock_t and a _remote() version which uses the pagevec from a remote CPU which offline.

This flag will be used by vmalloc code for page_alloc allocations backing vmalloc() mappings in a following patch. The reason to skip memory initialization for these pages in page_alloc is because vmalloc code will be initializing them instead. With the current implementation, when __GFP_SKIP_ZERO is provided, __GFP_ZEROTAGS is ignored. This doesn't matter, as these two flags are never provided at the same time. However, if this is changed in the future, this particular implementation detail can be changed as well.

kasan, page_alloc: merge kasan_alloc_pages into post_alloc_hook Currently, the code responsible for initializing and poisoning memory in post_alloc_hook() is scattered across two locations: kasan_alloc_pages() hook for HW_TAGS KASAN and post_alloc_hook() itself. This is confusing. This and a few following patches combine the code from these two locations. Along the way, these patches do a step-by-step restructure the many performed checks to make them easier to follow. Replace the only caller of kasan_alloc_pages() with its implementation. As kasan_has_integrated_init() is only true when CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS is enabled, moving the code does no functional changes. Also move init and init_tags variables definitions out of kasan_has_integrated_init() clause in post_alloc_hook(), as they have the same values regardless of what the if condition evaluates to. This patch is not useful by itself but makes the simplifications in the following patches easier to follow.

kasan, page_alloc: init memory of skipped pages on free Since commit 7a3b83537188 ("kasan: use separate (un)poison implementation for integrated init"), when all init, kasan_has_integrated_init(), and skip_kasan_poison are true, free_pages_prepare() doesn't initialize the page. This is wrong. Fix it by remembering whether kasan_poison_pages() performed initialization, and call kernel_init_free_pages() if it didn't. Reordering kasan_poison_pages() and kernel_init_free_pages() is OK, since kernel_init_free_pages() can handle poisoned memory.

kasan, page_alloc: move tag_clear_highpage out of kernel_init_free_pages Currently, kernel_init_free_pages() serves two purposes: it either only zeroes memory or zeroes both memory and memory tags via a different code path. As this function has only two callers, each using only one code path, this behaviour is confusing. Pull the code that zeroes both memory and tags out of kernel_init_free_pages(). As a result of this change, the code in free_pages_prepare() starts to look complicated, but this is improved in the few following patches. Those improvements are not integrated into this patch to make diffs easier to read. This patch does no functional changes.

kasan, page_alloc: deduplicate should_skip_kasan_poison Patch series "kasan, vmalloc, arm64: add vmalloc tagging support for SW/HW_TAGS", v6. This patchset adds vmalloc tagging support for SW_TAGS and HW_TAGS KASAN modes. About half of patches are cleanups I went for along the way. None of them seem to be important enough to go through stable, so I decided not to split them out into separate patches/series. The patchset is partially based on an early version of the HW_TAGS patchset by Vincenzo that had vmalloc support. Thus, I added a Co-developed-by tag into a few patches. SW_TAGS vmalloc tagging support is straightforward. It reuses all of the generic KASAN machinery, but uses shadow memory to store tags instead of magic values. Naturally, vmalloc tagging requires adding a few kasan_reset_tag() annotations to the vmalloc code. HW_TAGS vmalloc tagging support stands out. HW_TAGS KASAN is based on Arm MTE, which can only assigns tags to physical memory. As a result, HW_TAGS KASAN only tags vmalloc() allocations, which are backed by page_alloc memory. It ignores vmap() and others. This patch (of 39): Currently, should_skip_kasan_poison() has two definitions: one for when CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled, one for when it's not. Instead of duplicating the checks, add a deferred_pages_enabled() helper and use it in a single should_skip_kasan_poison() definition. Also move should_skip_kasan_poison() closer to its caller and clarify all conditions in the comment.

mm, memory_hotplug: reorganize new pgdat initialization When a !node_online node is brought up it needs a hotplug specific initialization because the node could be either uninitialized yet or it could have been recycled after previous hotremove. hotadd_init_pgdat is responsible for that. Internal pgdat state is initialized at two places currently - hotadd_init_pgdat - free_area_init_core_hotplug There is no real clear cut what should go where but this patch's chosen to move the whole internal state initialization into free_area_init_core_hotplug. hotadd_init_pgdat is still responsible to pull all the parts together - most notably to initialize zonelists because those depend on the overall topology.

mm: handle uninitialized numa nodes gracefully We have had several reports [1][2][3] that page allocator blows up when an allocation from a possible node is requested. The underlying reason is that NODE_DATA for the specific node is not allocated. NUMA specific initialization is arch specific and it can vary a lot. E.g. x86 tries to initialize all nodes that have some cpu affinity (see init_cpu_to_node) but this can be insufficient because the node might be cpuless for example. One way to address this problem would be to check for !node_online nodes when trying to get a zonelist and silently fall back to another node. That is unfortunately adding a branch into allocator hot path and it doesn't handle any other potential NODE_DATA users. This patch takes a different approach (following a lead of [3]) and it pre allocates pgdat for all possible nodes in an arch indipendent code - free_area_init. All uninitialized nodes are treated as memoryless nodes. node_state of the node is not changed because that would lead to other side effects - e.g. sysfs representation of such a node and from past discussions [4] it is known that some tools might have problems digesting that. Newly allocated pgdat only gets a minimal initialization and the rest of the work is expected to be done by the memory hotplug - hotadd_new_pgdat (renamed to hotadd_init_pgdat). generic_alloc_nodedata is changed to use the memblock allocator because neither page nor slab allocators are available at the stage when all pgdats are allocated. Hotplug doesn't allocate pgdat anymore so we can use the early boot allocator. The only arch specific implementation is ia64 and that is changed to use the early allocator as well.

NUMA balancing: optimize page placement for memory tiering system With the advent of various new memory types, some machines will have multiple types of memory, e.g. DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory). The memory subsystem of these machines can be called memory tiering system, because the performance of the different types of memory are usually different. In such system, because of the memory accessing pattern changing etc, some pages in the slow memory may become hot globally. So in this patch, the NUMA balancing mechanism is enhanced to optimize the page placement among the different memory types according to hot/cold dynamically. In a typical memory tiering system, there are CPUs, fast memory and slow memory in each physical NUMA node. The CPUs and the fast memory will be put in one logical node (called fast memory node), while the slow memory will be put in another (faked) logical node (called slow memory node). That is, the fast memory is regarded as local while the slow memory is regarded as remote. So it's possible for the recently accessed pages in the slow memory node to be promoted to the fast memory node via the existing NUMA balancing mechanism. The original NUMA balancing mechanism will stop to migrate pages if the free memory of the target node becomes below the high watermark. This is a reasonable policy if there's only one memory type. But this makes the original NUMA balancing mechanism almost do not work to optimize page placement among different memory types. Details are as follows. It's the common cases that the working-set size of the workload is larger than the size of the fast memory nodes. Otherwise, it's unnecessary to use the slow memory at all. So, there are almost always no enough free pages in the fast memory nodes, so that the globally hot pages in the slow memory node cannot be promoted to the fast memory node. To solve the issue, we have 2 choices as follows, a. Ignore the free pages watermark checking when promoting hot pages from the slow memory node to the fast memory node. This will create some memory pressure in the fast memory node, thus trigger the memory reclaiming. So that, the cold pages in the fast memory node will be demoted to the slow memory node. b. Define a new watermark called wmark_promo which is higher than wmark_high, and have kswapd reclaiming pages until free pages reach such watermark. The scenario is as follows: when we want to promote hot-pages from a slow memory to a fast memory, but fast memory's free pages would go lower than high watermark with such promotion, we wake up kswapd with wmark_promo watermark in order to demote cold pages and free us up some space. So, next time we want to promote hot-pages we might have a chance of doing so. The choice "a" may create high memory pressure in the fast memory node. If the memory pressure of the workload is high, the memory pressure may become so high that the memory allocation latency of the workload is influenced, e.g. the direct reclaiming may be triggered. The choice "b" works much better at this aspect. If the memory pressure of the workload is high, the hot pages promotion will stop earlier because its allocation watermark is higher than that of the normal memory allocation. So in this patch, choice "b" is implemented. A new zone watermark (WMARK_PROMO) is added. Which is larger than the high watermark and can be controlled via watermark_scale_factor. In addition to the original page placement optimization among sockets, the NUMA balancing mechanism is extended to be used to optimize page placement according to hot/cold among different memory types. So the sysctl user space interface (numa_balancing) is extended in a backward compatible way as follow, so that the users can enable/disable these functionality individually. The sysctl is converted from a Boolean value to a bits field. The definition of the flags is, - 0: NUMA_BALANCING_DISABLED - 1: NUMA_BALANCING_NORMAL - 2: NUMA_BALANCING_MEMORY_TIERING We have tested the patch with the pmbench memory accessing benchmark with the 80:20 read/write ratio and the Gauss access address distribution on a 2 socket Intel server with Optane DC Persistent Memory Model. The test results shows that the pmbench score can improve up to 95.9%. Thanks Andrew Morton to help fix the document format error.

mm: count time in drain_all_pages during direct reclaim as memory pressure When page allocation in direct reclaim path fails, the system will make one attempt to shrink per-cpu page lists and free pages from high alloc reserves. Draining per-cpu pages into buddy allocator can be a very slow operation because it's done using workqueues and the task in direct reclaim waits for all of them to finish before proceeding. Currently this time is not accounted as psi memory stall. While testing mobile devices under extreme memory pressure, when allocations are failing during direct reclaim, we notices that psi events which would be expected in such conditions were not triggered. After profiling these cases it was determined that the reason for missing psi events was that a big chunk of time spent in direct reclaim is not accounted as memory stall, therefore psi would not reach the levels at which an event is generated. Further investigation revealed that the bulk of that unaccounted time was spent inside drain_all_pages call. A typical captured case when drain_all_pages path gets activated: __alloc_pages_slowpath took 44.644.613ns __perform_reclaim took 751.668ns (1.7%) drain_all_pages took 43.887.167ns (98.3%) PSI in this case records the time spent in __perform_reclaim but ignores drain_all_pages, IOW it misses 98.3% of the time spent in __alloc_pages_slowpath. Annotate __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim in its entirety so that delays from handling page allocation failure in the direct reclaim path are accounted as memory stall.

arch/x86/mm/numa: Do not initialize nodes twice On x86, prior to ("mm: handle uninitialized numa nodes gracecully"), NUMA nodes could be allocated at three different places. - numa_register_memblks - init_cpu_to_node - init_gi_nodes All these calls happen at setup_arch, and have the following order: setup_arch ... x86_numa_init numa_init numa_register_memblks ... init_cpu_to_node init_memory_less_node alloc_node_data free_area_init_memoryless_node init_gi_nodes init_memory_less_node alloc_node_data free_area_init_memoryless_node numa_register_memblks() is only interested in those nodes which have memory, so it skips over any memoryless node it founds. Later on, when we have read ACPI's SRAT table, we call init_cpu_to_node() and init_gi_nodes(), which initialize any memoryless node we might have that have either CPU or Initiator affinity, meaning we allocate pg_data_t struct for them and we mark them as ONLINE. So far so good, but the thing is that after ("mm: handle uninitialized numa nodes gracefully"), we allocate all possible NUMA nodes in free_area_init(), meaning we have a picture like the following: setup_arch x86_numa_init numa_init numa_register_memblks <-- allocate non-memoryless node x86_init.paging.pagetable_init ... free_area_init free_area_init_memoryless <-- allocate memoryless node init_cpu_to_node alloc_node_data <-- allocate memoryless node with CPU free_area_init_memoryless_node init_gi_nodes alloc_node_data <-- allocate memoryless node with Initiator free_area_init_memoryless_node free_area_init() already allocates all possible NUMA nodes, but init_cpu_to_node() and init_gi_nodes() are clueless about that, so they go ahead and allocate a new pg_data_t struct without checking anything, meaning we end up allocating twice. It should be mad clear that this only happens in the case where memoryless NUMA node happens to have a CPU/Initiator affinity. So get rid of init_memory_less_node() and just set the node online. Note that setting the node online is needed, otherwise we choke down the chain when bringup_nonboot_cpus() ends up calling __try_online_node()->register_one_node()->... and we blow up in bus_add_device(). As can be seen here: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000060 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC PTI CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.17.0-rc4-1-default+ #45 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.0.0-prebuilt.qemu-project.org 04/4 RIP: 0010:bus_add_device+0x5a/0x140 Code: 8b 74 24 20 48 89 df e8 84 96 ff ff 85 c0 89 c5 75 38 48 8b 53 50 48 85 d2 0f 84 bb 00 004 RSP: 0000:ffffc9000022bd10 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff888100987400 RCX: ffff8881003e4e19 RDX: ffff8881009a5e00 RSI: ffff888100987400 RDI: ffff888100987400 RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: ffff8881003e4e18 R09: ffff8881003e4c98 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: ffff888100402bc0 R12: ffffffff822ceba0 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: ffff888100987400 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88853fc00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000060 CR3: 000000000200a001 CR4: 00000000001706b0 Call Trace: device_add+0x4c0/0x910 __register_one_node+0x97/0x2d0 __try_online_node+0x85/0xc0 try_online_node+0x25/0x40 cpu_up+0x4f/0x100 bringup_nonboot_cpus+0x4f/0x60 smp_init+0x26/0x79 kernel_init_freeable+0x130/0x2f1 kernel_init+0x17/0x150 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 The reason is simple, by the time bringup_nonboot_cpus() gets called, we did not register the node_subsys bus yet, so we crash when bus_add_device() tries to dereference bus()->p. The following shows the order of the calls: kernel_init_freeable smp_init bringup_nonboot_cpus ... bus_add_device() <- we did not register node_subsys yet do_basic_setup do_initcalls postcore_initcall(register_node_type); register_node_type subsys_system_register subsys_register bus_register <- register node_subsys bus Why setting the node online saves us then? Well, simply because __try_online_node() backs off when the node is online, meaning we do not end up calling register_one_node() in the first place. This is subtle, broken and deserves a deep analysis and thought about how to put this into shape, but for now let us have this easy fix for the leaking memory issue.

mm/page_alloc: do not prefetch buddies during bulk free free_pcppages_bulk() has taken two passes through the pcp lists since commit 0a5f4e5b4562 ("mm/free_pcppages_bulk: do not hold lock when picking pages to free") due to deferring the cost of selecting PCP lists until the zone lock is held. As the list processing now takes place under the zone lock, it's less clear that this will always benefit for two reasons. 1. There is a guaranteed cost to calculating the buddy which definitely has to be calculated again. However, as the zone lock is held and there is no deferring of buddy merging, there is no guarantee that the prefetch will have completed when the second buddy calculation takes place and buddies are being merged. With or without the prefetch, there may be further stalls depending on how many pages get merged. In other words, a stall due to merging is inevitable and at best only one stall might be avoided at the cost of calculating the buddy location twice. 2. As the zone lock is held, prefetch_nr makes less sense as once prefetch_nr expires, the cache lines of interest have already been merged. The main concern is that there is a definite cost to calculating the buddy location early for the prefetch and it is a "maybe win" depending on whether the CPU prefetch logic and memory is fast enough. Remove the prefetch logic on the basis that reduced instructions in a path is always a saving where as the prefetch might save one memory stall depending on the CPU and memory. In most cases, this has marginal benefit as the calculations are a small part of the overall freeing of pages. However, it was detectable on at least one machine. 5.17.0-rc3 5.17.0-rc3 mm-highpcplimit-v2r1 mm-noprefetch-v1r1 Min elapsed 630.00 ( 0.00%) 610.00 ( 3.17%) Amean elapsed 639.00 ( 0.00%) 623.00 * 2.50%* Max elapsed 660.00 ( 0.00%) 660.00 ( 0.00%) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220221094119.15282-2-mgorman@techsingularity.net Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Suggested-by: Aaron Lu <aaron.lu@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Reviewed-by: Aaron Lu <aaron.lu@intel.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Cc: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm/page_alloc: limit number of high-order pages on PCP during bulk free When a PCP is mostly used for frees then high-order pages can exist on PCP lists for some time. This is problematic when the allocation pattern is all allocations from one CPU and all frees from another resulting in colder pages being used. When bulk freeing pages, limit the number of high-order pages that are stored on the PCP lists. Netperf running on localhost exhibits this pattern and while it does not matter for some machines, it does matter for others with smaller caches where cache misses cause problems due to reduced page reuse. Pages freed directly to the buddy list may be reused quickly while still cache hot where as storing on the PCP lists may be cold by the time free_pcppages_bulk() is called. Using perf kmem:mm_page_alloc, the 5 most used page frames were 5.17-rc3 13041 pfn=0x111a30 13081 pfn=0x5814d0 13097 pfn=0x108258 13121 pfn=0x689598 13128 pfn=0x5814d8 5.17-revert-highpcp 192009 pfn=0x54c140 195426 pfn=0x1081d0 200908 pfn=0x61c808 243515 pfn=0xa9dc20 402523 pfn=0x222bb8 5.17-full-series 142693 pfn=0x346208 162227 pfn=0x13bf08 166413 pfn=0x2711e0 166950 pfn=0x2702f8 The spread is wider as there is still time before pages freed to one PCP get released with a tradeoff between fast reuse and reduced zone lock acquisition.

mm/page_alloc: free pages in a single pass during bulk free free_pcppages_bulk() has taken two passes through the pcp lists since commit 0a5f4e5b4562 ("mm/free_pcppages_bulk: do not hold lock when picking pages to free") due to deferring the cost of selecting PCP lists until the zone lock is held. Now that list selection is simplier, the main cost during selection is bulkfree_pcp_prepare() which in the normal case is a simple check and prefetching. As the list manipulations have cost in itself, go back to freeing pages in a single pass. The series up to this point was evaulated using a trunc microbenchmark that is truncating sparse files stored in page cache (mmtests config config-io-trunc). Sparse files were used to limit filesystem interaction.

mm/page_alloc: drain the requested list first during bulk free Prior to the series, pindex 0 (order-0 MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE) was always skipped first and the precise reason is forgotten. A potential reason may have been to artificially preserve MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE but there is no reason why that would be optimal as it depends on the workload. The more likely reason is that it was less complicated to do a pre-increment instead of a post-increment in terms of overall code flow. As free_pcppages_bulk() now typically receives the pindex of the PCP list that exceeded high, always start draining that list.

mm/page_alloc: simplify how many pages are selected per pcp list during bulk free free_pcppages_bulk() selects pages to free by round-robining between lists. Originally this was to evenly shrink pages by migratetype but uneven freeing is inevitable due to high pages. Simplify list selection by starting with a list that definitely has pages on it in free_unref_page_commit() and for drain, it does not matter where draining starts as all pages are removed.

mm/page_alloc: fetch the correct pcp buddy during bulk free Patch series "Follow-up on high-order PCP caching", v2. Commit 44042b449872 ("mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists") was primarily aimed at reducing the cost of SLUB cache refills of high-order pages in two ways. Firstly, zone lock acquisitions was reduced and secondly, there were fewer buddy list modifications. This is a follow-up series fixing some issues that became apparant after merging. Patch 1 is a functional fix. It's harmless but inefficient. Patches 2-5 reduce the overhead of bulk freeing of PCP pages. While the overhead is small, it's cumulative and noticable when truncating large files. The changelog for patch 4 includes results of a microbench that deletes large sparse files with data in page cache. Sparse files were used to eliminate filesystem overhead. Patch 6 addresses issues with high-order PCP pages being stored on PCP lists for too long. Pages freed on a CPU potentially may not be quickly reused and in some cases this can increase cache miss rates. Details are included in the changelog. This patch (of 6): free_pcppages_bulk() prefetches buddies about to be freed but the order must also be passed in as PCP lists store multiple orders.

mm/pages_alloc.c: don't create ZONE_MOVABLE beyond the end of a node ZONE_MOVABLE uses the remaining memory in each node. Its starting pfn is also aligned to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. It is possible for the remaining memory in a node to be less than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES, meaning there is not enough room for ZONE_MOVABLE on that node. Unfortunately this condition is not checked for. This leads to zone_movable_pfn[] getting set to a pfn greater than the last pfn in a node. calculate_node_totalpages() then sets zone->present_pages to be greater than zone->spanned_pages which is invalid, as spanned_pages represents the maximum number of pages in a zone assuming no holes. Subsequently it is possible free_area_init_core() will observe a zone of size zero with present pages. In this case it will skip setting up the zone, including the initialisation of free_lists[]. However populated_zone() checks zone->present_pages to see if a zone has memory available. This is used by iterators such as walk_zones_in_node(). pagetypeinfo_showfree() uses this to walk the free_list of each zone in each node, which are assumed to be initialised due to the zone not being empty. As free_area_init_core() never initialised the free_lists[] this results in the following kernel crash when trying to read /proc/pagetypeinfo: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC NOPTI CPU: 0 PID: 456 Comm: cat Not tainted 5.16.0 #461 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.14.0-2 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:pagetypeinfo_show+0x163/0x460 Code: 9e 82 e8 80 57 0e 00 49 8b 06 b9 01 00 00 00 4c 39 f0 75 16 e9 65 02 00 00 48 83 c1 01 48 81 f9 a0 86 01 00 0f 84 48 02 00 00 <48> 8b 00 4c 39 f0 75 e7 48 c7 c2 80 a2 e2 82 48 c7 c6 79 ef e3 82 RSP: 0018:ffffc90001c4bd10 EFLAGS: 00010003 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff88801105f638 RCX: 0000000000000001 RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 000000000000068b RDI: ffff8880163dc68b RBP: ffffc90001c4bd90 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: ffff8880163dc67e R10: 656c6261766f6d6e R11: 6c6261766f6d6e55 R12: ffff88807ffb4a00 R13: ffff88807ffb49f8 R14: ffff88807ffb4580 R15: ffff88807ffb3000 FS: 00007f9c83eff5c0(0000) GS:ffff88807dc00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 0000000013c8e000 CR4: 0000000000350ef0 Call Trace: seq_read_iter+0x128/0x460 proc_reg_read_iter+0x51/0x80 new_sync_read+0x113/0x1a0 vfs_read+0x136/0x1d0 ksys_read+0x70/0xf0 __x64_sys_read+0x1a/0x20 do_syscall_64+0x3b/0xc0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae Fix this by checking that the aligned zone_movable_pfn[] does not exceed the end of the node, and if it does skip creating a movable zone on this node.

mm/page_alloc: mark pagesets as __maybe_unused Commit 9983a9d577db ("locking/local_lock: Make the empty local_lock_*() function a macro.") in the -tip tree converted the local_lock_*() functions into macros, which causes a warning with clang with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=n + CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=n: mm/page_alloc.c:131:40: error: variable 'pagesets' is not needed and will not be emitted [-Werror,-Wunneeded-internal-declaration] static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct pagesets, pagesets) = { ^ 1 error generated. Prior to that change, clang was not able to tell that pagesets was unused in this configuration because it does not perform cross function analysis in the frontend. After that change, it sees that the macros just do a typecheck on the lock member of pagesets, which is evaluated at compile time (so the variable is technically "used"), meaning the variable is not needed in the final assembly, as the warning states. Mark the variable as __maybe_unused to make it clear to clang that this is expected in this configuration so there is no more warning.

mm: enforce pageblock_order < MAX_ORDER Some places in the kernel don't really expect pageblock_order >= MAX_ORDER, and it looks like this is only possible in corner cases: 1) CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT we'll end up freeing pageblock_order pages via __free_pages_core(), which cannot possibly work. 2) find_zone_movable_pfns_for_nodes() will roundup the ZONE_MOVABLE start PFN to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. Consequently with a bigger pageblock_order, we could have a single pageblock partially managed by two zones. 3) compaction code runs into __fragmentation_index() with order >= MAX_ORDER, when checking WARN_ON_ONCE(order >= MAX_ORDER). [1] 4) mm/page_reporting.c won't be reporting any pages with default page_reporting_order == pageblock_order, as we'll be skipping the reporting loop inside page_reporting_process_zone(). 5) __rmqueue_fallback() will never be able to steal with ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT. pageblock_order >= MAX_ORDER is weird either way: it's a pure optimization for making alloc_contig_range(), as used for allcoation of gigantic pages, a little more reliable to succeed. However, if there is demand for somewhat reliable allocation of gigantic pages, affected setups should be using CMA or boottime allocations instead. So let's make sure that pageblock_order < MAX_ORDER and simplify.

mm/hwpoison: fix unpoison_memory() After recent soft-offline rework, error pages can be taken off from buddy allocator, but the existing unpoison_memory() does not properly undo the operation. Moreover, due to the recent change on __get_hwpoison_page(), get_page_unless_zero() is hardly called for hwpoisoned pages. So __get_hwpoison_page() highly likely returns -EBUSY (meaning to fail to grab page refcount) and unpoison just clears PG_hwpoison without releasing a refcount. That does not lead to a critical issue like kernel panic, but unpoisoned pages never get back to buddy (leaked permanently), which is not good. To (partially) fix this, we need to identify "taken off" pages from other types of hwpoisoned pages. We can't use refcount or page flags for this purpose, so a pseudo flag is defined by hacking ->private field. Someone might think that put_page() is enough to cancel taken-off pages, but the normal free path contains some operations not suitable for the current purpose, and can fire VM_BUG_ON(). Note that unpoison_memory() is now supposed to be cancel hwpoison events injected only by madvise() or /sys/devices/system/memory/{hard,soft}_offline_page, not by MCE injection, so please don't try to use unpoison when testing with MCE injection.

mm_zone: add function to check if managed dma zone exists Patch series "Handle warning of allocation failure on DMA zone w/o managed pages", v4. **Problem observed: On x86_64, when crash is triggered and entering into kdump kernel, page allocation failure can always be seen. --------------------------------- DMA: preallocated 128 KiB GFP_KERNEL pool for atomic allocations swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:5, mode:0xcc1(GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0 CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x7f/0xa1 warn_alloc.cold+0x72/0xd6 ...... __alloc_pages+0x24d/0x2c0 ...... dma_atomic_pool_init+0xdb/0x176 do_one_initcall+0x67/0x320 ? rcu_read_lock_sched_held+0x3f/0x80 kernel_init_freeable+0x290/0x2dc ? rest_init+0x24f/0x24f kernel_init+0xa/0x111 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 Mem-Info: ------------------------------------ ***Root cause: In the current kernel, it assumes that DMA zone must have managed pages and try to request pages if CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is enabled. While this is not always true. E.g in kdump kernel of x86_64, only low 1M is presented and locked down at very early stage of boot, so that this low 1M won't be added into buddy allocator to become managed pages of DMA zone. This exception will always cause page allocation failure if page is requested from DMA zone. ***Investigation: This failure happens since below commit merged into linus's tree. 1a6a9044b967 x86/setup: Remove CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW and reservelow= options 23721c8e92f7 x86/crash: Remove crash_reserve_low_1M() f1d4d47c5851 x86/setup: Always reserve the first 1M of RAM 7c321eb2b843 x86/kdump: Remove the backup region handling 6f599d84231f x86/kdump: Always reserve the low 1M when the crashkernel option is specified Before them, on x86_64, the low 640K area will be reused by kdump kernel. So in kdump kernel, the content of low 640K area is copied into a backup region for dumping before jumping into kdump. Then except of those firmware reserved region in [0, 640K], the left area will be added into buddy allocator to become available managed pages of DMA zone. However, after above commits applied, in kdump kernel of x86_64, the low 1M is reserved by memblock, but not released to buddy allocator. So any later page allocation requested from DMA zone will fail. At the beginning, if crashkernel is reserved, the low 1M need be locked down because AMD SME encrypts memory making the old backup region mechanims impossible when switching into kdump kernel. Later, it was also observed that there are BIOSes corrupting memory under 1M. To solve this, in commit f1d4d47c5851, the entire region of low 1M is always reserved after the real mode trampoline is allocated. Besides, recently, Intel engineer mentioned their TDX (Trusted domain extensions) which is under development in kernel also needs to lock down the low 1M. So we can't simply revert above commits to fix the page allocation failure from DMA zone as someone suggested. ***Solution: Currently, only DMA atomic pool and dma-kmalloc will initialize and request page allocation with GFP_DMA during bootup. So only initializ DMA atomic pool when DMA zone has available managed pages, otherwise just skip the initialization. For dma-kmalloc(), for the time being, let's mute the warning of allocation failure if requesting pages from DMA zone while no manged pages. Meanwhile, change code to use dma_alloc_xx/dma_map_xx API to replace kmalloc(GFP_DMA), or do not use GFP_DMA when calling kmalloc() if not necessary. Christoph is posting patches to fix those under drivers/scsi/. Finally, we can remove the need of dma-kmalloc() as people suggested. This patch (of 3): In some places of the current kernel, it assumes that dma zone must have managed pages if CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is enabled. While this is not always true. E.g in kdump kernel of x86_64, only low 1M is presented and locked down at very early stage of boot, so that there's no managed pages at all in DMA zone. This exception will always cause page allocation failure if page is requested from DMA zone. Here add function has_managed_dma() and the relevant helper functions to check if there's DMA zone with managed pages. It will be used in later patches.

mm: page table check Check user page table entries at the time they are added and removed. Allows to synchronously catch memory corruption issues related to double mapping. When a pte for an anonymous page is added into page table, we verify that this pte does not already point to a file backed page, and vice versa if this is a file backed page that is being added we verify that this page does not have an anonymous mapping We also enforce that read-only sharing for anonymous pages is allowed (i.e. cow after fork). All other sharing must be for file pages. Page table check allows to protect and debug cases where "struct page" metadata became corrupted for some reason. For example, when refcnt or mapcount become invalid.

mm/memremap: add ZONE_DEVICE support for compound pages Add a new @vmemmap_shift property for struct dev_pagemap which specifies that a devmap is composed of a set of compound pages of order @vmemmap_shift, instead of base pages. When a compound page devmap is requested, all but the first page are initialised as tail pages instead of order-0 pages. For certain ZONE_DEVICE users like device-dax which have a fixed page size, this creates an opportunity to optimize GUP and GUP-fast walkers, treating it the same way as THP or hugetlb pages. Additionally, commit 7118fc2906e2 ("hugetlb: address ref count racing in prep_compound_gigantic_page") removed set_page_count() because the setting of page ref count to zero was redundant. devmap pages don't come from page allocator though and only head page refcount is used for compound pages, hence initialize tail page count to zero.

mm/page_alloc: split prep_compound_page into head and tail subparts Patch series "mm, device-dax: Introduce compound pages in devmap", v7. This series converts device-dax to use compound pages, and moves away from the 'struct page per basepage on PMD/PUD' that is done today. Doing so 1) unlocks a few noticeable improvements on unpin_user_pages() and makes device-dax+altmap case 4x times faster in pinning (numbers below and in last patch) 2) as mentioned in various other threads it's one important step towards cleaning up ZONE_DEVICE refcounting. I've split the compound pages on devmap part from the rest based on recent discussions on devmap pending and future work planned[5][6]. There is consensus that device-dax should be using compound pages to represent its PMD/PUDs just like HugeTLB and THP, and that leads to less specialization of the dax parts. I will pursue the rest of the work in parallel once this part is merged, particular the GUP-{slow,fast} improvements [7] and the tail struct page deduplication memory savings part[8]. To summarize what the series does: Patch 1: Prepare hwpoisoning to work with dax compound pages. Patches 2-3: Split the current utility function of prep_compound_page() into head and tail and use those two helpers where appropriate to take advantage of caches being warm after __init_single_page(). This is used when initializing zone device when we bring up device-dax namespaces. Patches 4-10: Add devmap support for compound pages in device-dax. memmap_init_zone_device() initialize its metadata as compound pages, and it introduces a new devmap property known as vmemmap_shift which outlines how the vmemmap is structured (defaults to base pages as done today). The property describe the page order of the metadata essentially. While at it do a few cleanups in device-dax in patches 5-9. Finally enable device-dax usage of devmap @vmemmap_shift to a value based on its own @align property. @vmemmap_shift returns 0 by default (which is today's case of base pages in devmap, like fsdax or the others) and the usage of compound devmap is optional. Starting with device-dax (*not* fsdax) we enable it by default. There are a few pinning improvements particular on the unpinning case and altmap, as well as unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock() being just as effective as THP/hugetlb[0] pages. $ gup_test -f /dev/dax1.0 -m 16384 -r 10 -S -a -n 512 -w (pin_user_pages_fast 2M pages) put:~71 ms -> put:~22 ms [altmap] (pin_user_pages_fast 2M pages) get:~524ms put:~525 ms -> get: ~127ms put:~71ms $ gup_test -f /dev/dax1.0 -m 129022 -r 10 -S -a -n 512 -w (pin_user_pages_fast 2M pages) put:~513 ms -> put:~188 ms [altmap with -m 127004] (pin_user_pages_fast 2M pages) get:~4.1 secs put:~4.12 secs -> get:~1sec put:~563ms Tested on x86 with 1Tb+ of pmem (alongside registering it with RDMA with and without altmap), alongside gup_test selftests with dynamic dax regions and static dax regions. Coupled with ndctl unit tests for dynamic dax devices that exercise all of this. Note, for dynamic dax regions I had to revert commit 8aa83e6395 ("x86/setup: Call early_reserve_memory() earlier"), it is a known issue that this commit broke efi_fake_mem=. This patch (of 11): Split the utility function prep_compound_page() into head and tail counterparts, and use them accordingly. This is in preparation for sharing the storage for compound page metadata.

mm/page_alloc: remove the throttling logic from the page allocator The page allocator stalls based on the number of pages that are waiting for writeback to start but this should now be redundant. shrink_inactive_list() will wake flusher threads if the LRU tail are unqueued dirty pages so the flusher should be active. If it fails to make progress due to pages under writeback not being completed quickly then it should stall on VMSCAN_THROTTLE_WRITEBACK.

mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim until some writeback completes if congested Patch series "Remove dependency on congestion_wait in mm/", v5. This series that removes all calls to congestion_wait in mm/ and deletes wait_iff_congested. It's not a clever implementation but congestion_wait has been broken for a long time [1]. Even if congestion throttling worked, it was never a great idea. While excessive dirty/writeback pages at the tail of the LRU is one possibility that reclaim may be slow, there is also the problem of too many pages being isolated and reclaim failing for other reasons (elevated references, too many pages isolated, excessive LRU contention etc). This series replaces the "congestion" throttling with 3 different types. - If there are too many dirty/writeback pages, sleep until a timeout or enough pages get cleaned - If too many pages are isolated, sleep until enough isolated pages are either reclaimed or put back on the LRU - If no progress is being made, direct reclaim tasks sleep until another task makes progress with acceptable efficiency. This was initially tested with a mix of workloads that used to trigger corner cases that no longer work. A new test case was created called "stutterp" (pagereclaim-stutterp-noreaders in mmtests) using a freshly created XFS filesystem. Note that it may be necessary to increase the timeout of ssh if executing remotely as ssh itself can get throttled and the connection may timeout. stutterp varies the number of "worker" processes from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4 to check the impact as the number of direct reclaimers increase. It has four types of worker. - One "anon latency" worker creates small mappings with mmap() and times how long it takes to fault the mapping reading it 4K at a time - X file writers which is fio randomly writing X files where the total size of the files add up to the allowed dirty_ratio. fio is allowed to run for a warmup period to allow some file-backed pages to accumulate. The duration of the warmup is based on the best-case linear write speed of the storage. - Y file readers which is fio randomly reading small files - Z anon memory hogs which continually map (100-dirty_ratio)% of memory - Total estimated WSS = (100+dirty_ration) percentage of memory X+Y+Z+1 == NR_WORKERS varying from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4 The intent is to maximise the total WSS with a mix of file and anon memory where some anonymous memory must be swapped and there is a high likelihood of dirty/writeback pages reaching the end of the LRU. The test can be configured to have no background readers to stress dirty/writeback pages. The results below are based on having zero readers. The short summary of the results is that the series works and stalls until some event occurs but the timeouts may need adjustment. The test results are not broken down by patch as the series should be treated as one block that replaces a broken throttling mechanism with a working one. Finally, three machines were tested but I'm reporting the worst set of results. The other two machines had much better latencies for example.

In earlier versions of the series, this was lower but a large number of throttling events were reaching their timeout increasing the amount of inefficient scanning of the LRU. There is no prioritisation of reclaim tasks making progress based on each tasks rate of page allocation versus progress of reclaim. The variance is also impacted for high worker counts but in all cases, the differences in latency are not statistically significant due to very large maximum outliers. Max-90 shows that 90% of the stalls are comparable but the Max results show the massive outliers which are increased to to stalling. It is expected that this will be very machine dependant. Due to the test design, reclaim is difficult so allocations stall and there are variances depending on whether THPs can be allocated or not. The amount of memory will affect exactly how bad the corner cases are and how often they trigger. The warmup period calculation is not ideal as it's based on linear writes where as fio is randomly writing multiple files from multiple tasks so the start state of the test is variable. For example, these are the latencies on a single-socket machine that had more memory Amean mmap-4 42.2287 ( 0.00%) 49.6838 * -17.65%* Amean mmap-7 216.4326 ( 0.00%) 47.4451 * 78.08%* Amean mmap-12 2412.0588 ( 0.00%) 51.7497 ( 97.85%) Amean mmap-21 5546.2548 ( 0.00%) 51.8862 ( 99.06%) Amean mmap-30 1085.3121 ( 0.00%) 72.1004 ( 93.36%) The overall system CPU usage and elapsed time is as follows 5.15.0-rc3 5.15.0-rc3 vanilla mm-reclaimcongest-v5r4 Duration User 6989.03 983.42 Duration System 7308.12 799.68 Duration Elapsed 2277.67 2092.98 The patches reduce system CPU usage by 89% as the vanilla kernel is rarely stalling.

The vanilla kernel scans slowly over time where as the patches exhibits burst patterns of scan activity. Direct reclaim scanning is reduced by 52% due to stalling. The pattern for stealing pages is also slightly different. Both kernels exhibit spikes but the vanilla kernel when reclaiming shows pages being reclaimed over a period of time where as the patches tend to reclaim in spikes. The difference is that vanilla is not throttling and instead scanning constantly finding some pages over time where as the patched kernel throttles and reclaims in spikes. Ops Percentage direct scans 90.59 77.37 For direct reclaim, vanilla scanned 90.59% of pages where as with the patches, 77.37% were direct reclaim due to throttling Ops Page writes by reclaim 2613590.00 1687131.00 Page writes from reclaim context are reduced.

This is very different to kswapd where only a tiny percentage of stalls due to writeback reached the timeout. Bottom line, the throttling appears to work and the wakeup events may limit worst case stalls. There might be some grounds for adjusting timeouts but it's likely futile as the worst-case scenarios depend on the workload, memory size and the speed of the storage. A better approach to improve the series further would be to prioritise tasks based on their rate of allocation with the caveat that it may be very expensive to track. This patch (of 5): Page reclaim throttles on wait_iff_congested under the following conditions: - kswapd is encountering pages under writeback and marked for immediate reclaim implying that pages are cycling through the LRU faster than pages can be cleaned. - Direct reclaim will stall if all dirty pages are backed by congested inodes. wait_iff_congested is almost completely broken with few exceptions. This patch adds a new node-based workqueue and tracks the number of throttled tasks and pages written back since throttling started. If enough pages belonging to the node are written back then the throttled tasks will wake early. If not, the throttled tasks sleeps until the timeout expires.

mm: page_alloc: use migrate_disable() in drain_local_pages_wq() drain_local_pages_wq() disables preemption to avoid CPU migration during CPU hotplug and can't use cpus_read_lock(). Using migrate_disable() works here, too. The scheduler won't take the CPU offline until the task left the migrate-disable section. The problem with disabled preemption here is that drain_local_pages() acquires locks which are turned into sleeping locks on PREEMPT_RT and can't be acquired with disabled preemption. Use migrate_disable() in drain_local_pages_wq().

mm/page_alloc: detect allocation forbidden by cpuset and bail out early There was a report that starting an Ubuntu in docker while using cpuset to bind it to movable nodes (a node only has movable zone, like a node for hotplug or a Persistent Memory node in normal usage) will fail due to memory allocation failure, and then OOM is involved and many other innocent processes got killed. It can be reproduced with command: $ docker run -it --rm --cpuset-mems 4 ubuntu:latest bash -c "grep Mems_allowed /proc/self/status" (where node 4 is a movable node) runc:[2:INIT] invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x500cc2(GFP_HIGHUSER|__GFP_ACCOUNT), order=0, oom_score_adj=0 CPU: 8 PID: 8291 Comm: runc:[2:INIT] Tainted: G W I E 5.8.2-0.g71b519a-default #1 openSUSE Tumbleweed (unreleased) Hardware name: Dell Inc.

The OOM killer cannot help to resolve the situation as there is no usable memory for the request in the cpuset scope. The only reasonable measure to take is to fail the allocation right away and have the caller to deal with it. So add a check for cases like this in the slowpath of allocation, and bail out early returning NULL for the allocation. As page allocation is one of the hottest path in kernel, this check will hurt all users with sane cpuset configuration, add a static branch check and detect the abnormal config in cpuset memory binding setup so that the extra check cost in page allocation is not paid by everyone.

mm: move node_reclaim_distance to fix NUMA without SMP Patch series "Fix NUMA without SMP". SuperH is the only architecture which still supports NUMA without SMP, for good reasons (various memories scattered around the address space, each with varying latencies). This series fixes two build errors due to variables and functions used by the NUMA code being provided by SMP-only source files or sections. This patch (of 2): If CONFIG_NUMA=y, but CONFIG_SMP=n (e.g. sh/migor_defconfig): sh4-linux-gnu-ld: mm/page_alloc.o: in function `get_page_from_freelist': page_alloc.c:(.text+0x2c24): undefined reference to `node_reclaim_distance' Fix this by moving the declaration of node_reclaim_distance from an SMP-only to a generic file.

mm/page_alloc: use accumulated load when building node fallback list In build_zonelists(), when the fallback list is built for the nodes, the node load gets reinitialized during each iteration. This results in nodes with same distances occupying the same slot in different node fallback lists rather than appearing in the intended round- robin manner. This results in one node getting picked for allocation more compared to other nodes with the same distance. As an example, consider a 4 node system with the following distance matrix. Node 0 1 2 3 ---------------- 0 10 12 32 32 1 12 10 32 32 2 32 32 10 12 3 32 32 12 10 For this case, the node fallback list gets built like this: Node Fallback list --------------------- 0 0 1 2 3 1 1 0 3 2 2 2 3 0 1 3 3 2 0 1 <-- Unexpected fallback order In the fallback list for nodes 2 and 3, the nodes 0 and 1 appear in the same order which results in more allocations getting satisfied from node 0 compared to node 1. The effect of this on remote memory bandwidth as seen by stream benchmark is shown below: Case 1: Bandwidth from cores on nodes 2 & 3 to memory on nodes 0 & 1 (numactl -m 0,1 ./stream_lowOverhead ... --cores <from 2, 3>) Case 2: Bandwidth from cores on nodes 0 & 1 to memory on nodes 2 & 3 (numactl -m 2,3 ./stream_lowOverhead ... --cores <from 0, 1>) ---------------------------------------- BANDWIDTH (MB/s) TEST Case 1 Case 2 ---------------------------------------- COPY 57479.6 110791.8 SCALE 55372.9 105685.9 ADD 50460.6 96734.2 TRIADD 50397.6 97119.1 ---------------------------------------- The bandwidth drop in Case 1 occurs because most of the allocations get satisfied by node 0 as it appears first in the fallback order for both nodes 2 and 3. This can be fixed by accumulating the node load in build_zonelists() rather than reinitializing it during each iteration. With this the nodes with the same distance rightly get assigned in the round robin manner. In fact this was how it was originally until commit f0c0b2b808f2 ("change zonelist order: zonelist order selection logic") dropped the load accumulation and resorted to initializing the load during each iteration. While zonelist ordering was removed by commit c9bff3eebc09 ("mm, page_alloc: rip out ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE"), the change to the node load accumulation in build_zonelists() remained. So essentially this patch reverts back to the accumulated node load logic. After this fix, the fallback order gets built like this: Node Fallback list ------------------ 0 0 1 2 3 1 1 0 3 2 2 2 3 0 1 3 3 2 1 0 <-- Note the change here The bandwidth in Case 1 improves and matches Case 2 as shown below. ---------------------------------------- BANDWIDTH (MB/s) TEST Case 1 Case 2 ---------------------------------------- COPY 110438.9 110107.2 SCALE 105930.5 105817.5 ADD 97005.1 96159.8 TRIADD 97441.5 96757.1 ---------------------------------------- The correctness of the fallback list generation has been verified for the above node configuration where the node 3 starts as memory-less node and comes up online only during memory hotplug.

For a NUMA system that has multiple nodes at same distance from other nodes, the fallback list generation prefers same node order for them instead of round-robin thereby penalizing one node over others. This series fixes it. More description of the problem and the fix is present in the patch description. This patch (of 2): Print information message about the allocation fallback order for each NUMA node during boot. No functional changes here.

mm: filemap: check if THP has hwpoisoned subpage for PMD page fault When handling shmem page fault the THP with corrupted subpage could be PMD mapped if certain conditions are satisfied. But kernel is supposed to send SIGBUS when trying to map hwpoisoned page. There are two paths which may do PMD map: fault around and regular fault. Before commit f9ce0be71d1f ("mm: Cleanup faultaround and finish_fault() codepaths") the thing was even worse in fault around path. The THP could be PMD mapped as long as the VMA fits regardless what subpage is accessed and corrupted. After this commit as long as head page is not corrupted the THP could be PMD mapped. In the regular fault path the THP could be PMD mapped as long as the corrupted page is not accessed and the VMA fits. This loophole could be fixed by iterating every subpage to check if any of them is hwpoisoned or not, but it is somewhat costly in page fault path. So introduce a new page flag called HasHWPoisoned on the first tail page. It indicates the THP has hwpoisoned subpage(s). It is set if any subpage of THP is found hwpoisoned by memory failure and after the refcount is bumped successfully, then cleared when the THP is freed or split. The soft offline path doesn't need this since soft offline handler just marks a subpage hwpoisoned when the subpage is migrated successfully. But shmem THP didn't get split then migrated at all.

However bulk page allocator does not support __GFP_ACCOUNT allocations and there are several users of kvmalloc(__GFP_ACCOUNT). For now make __GFP_ACCOUNT allocations bypass bulk page allocator. In future if there is workload that can be significantly improved with the bulk page allocator with __GFP_ACCCOUNT support, we can revisit the decision.

mm/page_alloc.c: avoid accessing uninitialized pcp page migratetype If it's not prepared to free unref page, the pcp page migratetype is unset. Thus we will get rubbish from get_pcppage_migratetype() and might list_del(&page->lru) again after it's already deleted from the list leading to grumble about data corruption.

mm: track present early pages per zone Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: "auto-movable" online policy and memory groups", v3. I. Goal The goal of this series is improving in-kernel auto-online support. It tackles the fundamental problems that: 1) We can create zone imbalances when onlining all memory blindly to ZONE_MOVABLE, in the worst case crashing the system. We have to know upfront how much memory we are going to hotplug such that we can safely enable auto-onlining of all hotplugged memory to ZONE_MOVABLE via "online_movable". This is far from practical and only applicable in limited setups -- like inside VMs under the RHV/oVirt hypervisor which will never hotplug more than 3 times the boot memory (and the limitation is only in place due to the Linux limitation). 2) We see more setups that implement dynamic VM resizing, hot(un)plugging memory to resize VM memory. In these setups, we might hotplug a lot of memory, but it might happen in various small steps in both directions (e.g., 2 GiB -> 8 GiB -> 4 GiB -> 16 GiB ...). virtio-mem is the primary driver of this upstream right now, performing such dynamic resizing NUMA-aware via multiple virtio-mem devices. Onlining all hotplugged memory to ZONE_NORMAL means we basically have no hotunplug guarantees. Onlining all to ZONE_MOVABLE means we can easily run into zone imbalances when growing a VM. We want a mixture, and we want as much memory as reasonable/configured in ZONE_MOVABLE. Details regarding zone imbalances can be found at [1]. 3) Memory devices consist of 1..X memory block devices, however, the kernel doesn't really track the relationship. Consequently, also user space has no idea. We want to make per-device decisions. As one example, for memory hotunplug it doesn't make sense to use a mixture of zones within a single DIMM: we want all MOVABLE if possible, otherwise all !MOVABLE, because any !MOVABLE part will easily block the whole DIMM from getting hotunplugged. As another example, virtio-mem operates on individual units that span 1..X memory blocks. Similar to a DIMM, we want a unit to either be all MOVABLE or !MOVABLE. A "unit" can be thought of like a DIMM, however, all units of a virtio-mem device logically belong together and are managed (added/removed) by a single driver. We want as much memory of a virtio-mem device to be MOVABLE as possible. 4) We want memory onlining to be done right from the kernel while adding memory, not triggered by user space via udev rules; for example, this is reqired for fast memory hotplug for drivers that add individual memory blocks, like virito-mem. We want a way to configure a policy in the kernel and avoid implementing advanced policies in user space. The auto-onlining support we have in the kernel is not sufficient. All we have is a) online everything MOVABLE (online_movable) b) online everything !MOVABLE (online_kernel) c) keep zones contiguous (online). This series allows configuring c) to mean instead "online movable if possible according to the coniguration, driven by a maximum MOVABLE:KERNEL ratio" -- a new onlining policy. II. Approach This series does 3 things: 1) Introduces the "auto-movable" online policy that initially operates on individual memory blocks only. It uses a maximum MOVABLE:KERNEL ratio to make a decision whether a memory block will be onlined to ZONE_MOVABLE or not. However, in the basic form, hotplugged KERNEL memory does not allow for more MOVABLE memory (details in the patches). CMA memory is treated like MOVABLE memory. 2) Introduces static (e.g., DIMM) and dynamic (e.g., virtio-mem) memory groups and uses group information to make decisions in the "auto-movable" online policy across memory blocks of a single memory device (modeled as memory group). More details can be found in patch #3 or in the DIMM example below. 3) Maximizes ZONE_MOVABLE memory within dynamic memory groups, by allowing ZONE_NORMAL memory within a dynamic memory group to allow for more ZONE_MOVABLE memory within the same memory group. The target use case is dynamic VM resizing using virtio-mem. See the virtio-mem example below. I remember that the basic idea of using a ratio to implement a policy in the kernel was once mentioned by Vitaly Kuznetsov, but I might be wrong (I lost the pointer to that discussion). For me, the main use case is using it along with virtio-mem (and DIMMs / ppc64 dlpar where necessary) for dynamic resizing of VMs, increasing the amount of memory we can hotunplug reliably again if we might eventually hotplug a lot of memory to a VM. III. Target Usage The target usage will be: 1) Linux boots with "mhp_default_online_type=offline" 2) User space (e.g., systemd unit) configures memory onlining (according to a config file and system properties), for example: * Setting memory_hotplug.online_policy=auto-movable * Setting memory_hotplug.auto_movable_ratio=301 * Setting memory_hotplug.auto_movable_numa_aware=true 3) User space enabled auto onlining via "echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks" 4) User space triggers manual onlining of all already-offline memory blocks (go over offline memory blocks and set them to "online") IV. Example For DIMMs, hotplugging 4 GiB DIMMs to a 4 GiB VM with a configured ratio of 301% results in the following layout: Memory block 0-15: DMA32 (early) Memory block 32-47: Normal (early) Memory block 48-79: Movable (DIMM 0) Memory block 80-111: Movable (DIMM 1) Memory block 112-143: Movable (DIMM 2) Memory block 144-275: Normal (DIMM 3) Memory block 176-207: Normal (DIMM 4) ... all Normal (-> hotplugged Normal memory does not allow for more Movable memory) For virtio-mem, using a simple, single virtio-mem device with a 4 GiB VM will result in the following layout: Memory block 0-15: DMA32 (early) Memory block 32-47: Normal (early) Memory block 48-143: Movable (virtio-mem, first 12 GiB) Memory block 144: Normal (virtio-mem, next 128 MiB) Memory block 145-147: Movable (virtio-mem, next 384 MiB) Memory block 148: Normal (virtio-mem, next 128 MiB) Memory block 149-151: Movable (virtio-mem, next 384 MiB) ... Normal/Movable mixture as above (-> hotplugged Normal memory allows for more Movable memory within the same device) Which gives us maximum flexibility when dynamically growing/shrinking a VM in smaller steps. V. Doc Update I'll update the memory-hotplug.rst documentation, once the overhaul [1] is usptream. Until then, details can be found in patch #2. VI. Future Work 1) Use memory groups for ppc64 dlpar 2) Being able to specify a portion of (early) kernel memory that will be excluded from the ratio. Like "128 MiB globally/per node" are excluded. This might be helpful when starting VMs with extremely small memory footprint (e.g., 128 MiB) and hotplugging memory later -- not wanting the first hotplugged units getting onlined to ZONE_MOVABLE. One alternative would be a trigger to not consider ZONE_DMA memory in the ratio. We'll have to see if this is really rrequired. 3) Indicate to user space that MOVABLE might be a bad idea -- especially relevant when memory ballooning without support for balloon compaction is active. This patch (of 9): For implementing a new memory onlining policy, which determines when to online memory blocks to ZONE_MOVABLE semi-automatically, we need the number of present early (boot) pages -- present pages excluding hotplugged pages. Let's track these pages per zone. Pass a page instead of the zone to adjust_present_page_count(), similar as adjust_managed_page_count() and derive the zone from the page. It's worth noting that a memory block to be offlined/onlined is either completely "early" or "not early". add_memory() and friends can only add complete memory blocks and we only online/offline complete (individual) memory blocks.

mm: remove pfn_valid_within() and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE Patch series "mm: remove pfn_valid_within() and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE". After recent updates to freeing unused parts of the memory map, no architecture can have holes in the memory map within a pageblock. This makes pfn_valid_within() check and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE configuration option redundant. The first patch removes them both in a mechanical way and the second patch simplifies memory_hotplug::test_pages_in_a_zone() that had pfn_valid_within() surrounded by more logic than simple if. This patch (of 2): After recent changes in freeing of the unused parts of the memory map and rework of pfn_valid() in arm and arm64 there are no architectures that can have holes in the memory map within a pageblock and so nothing can enable CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE which guards non trivial implementation of pfn_valid_within(). With that, pfn_valid_within() is always hardwired to 1 and can be completely removed. Remove calls to pfn_valid_within() and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE.

When returning an error code, there is no way to know how many pages were migrated or not migrated.

mm/numa: automatically generate node migration order Patch series "Migrate Pages in lieu of discard", v11. We're starting to see systems with more and more kinds of memory such as Intel's implementation of persistent memory. Let's say you have a system with some DRAM and some persistent memory. Today, once DRAM fills up, reclaim will start and some of the DRAM contents will be thrown out. Allocations will, at some point, start falling over to the slower persistent memory. That has two nasty properties. First, the newer allocations can end up in the slower persistent memory. Second, reclaimed data in DRAM are just discarded even if there are gobs of space in persistent memory that could be used. This patchset implements a solution to these problems. At the end of the reclaim process in shrink_page_list() just before the last page refcount is dropped, the page is migrated to persistent memory instead of being dropped. While I've talked about a DRAM/PMEM pairing, this approach would function in any environment where memory tiers exist. This is not perfect. It "strands" pages in slower memory and never brings them back to fast DRAM. Huang Ying has follow-on work which repurposes NUMA balancing to promote hot pages back to DRAM. This is also all based on an upstream mechanism that allows persistent memory to be onlined and used as if it were volatile: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190124231441.37A4A305@viggo.jf.intel.com With that, the DRAM and PMEM in each socket will be represented as 2 separate NUMA nodes, with the CPUs sit in the DRAM node. So the general inter-NUMA demotion mechanism introduced in the patchset can migrate the cold DRAM pages to the PMEM node. We have tested the patchset with the postgresql and pgbench. On a 2-socket server machine with DRAM and PMEM, the kernel with the patchset can improve the score of pgbench up to 22.1% compared with that of the DRAM only + disk case. This comes from the reduced disk read throughput (which reduces up to 70.8%). == Open Issues == * Memory policies and cpusets that, for instance, restrict allocations to DRAM can be demoted to PMEM whenever they opt in to this new mechanism. A cgroup-level API to opt-in or opt-out of these migrations will likely be required as a follow-on. * Could be more aggressive about where anon LRU scanning occurs since it no longer necessarily involves I/O. get_scan_count() for instance says: "If we have no swap space, do not bother scanning anon pages" This patch (of 9): Prepare for the kernel to auto-migrate pages to other memory nodes with a node migration table. This allows creating single migration target for each NUMA node to enable the kernel to do NUMA page migrations instead of simply discarding colder pages. A node with no target is a "terminal node", so reclaim acts normally there. The migration target does not fundamentally _need_ to be a single node, but this implementation starts there to limit complexity. When memory fills up on a node, memory contents can be automatically migrated to another node. The biggest problems are knowing when to migrate and to where the migration should be targeted. The most straightforward way to generate the "to where" list would be to follow the page allocator fallback lists. Those lists already tell us if memory is full where to look next. It would also be logical to move memory in that order. But, the allocator fallback lists have a fatal flaw: most nodes appear in all the lists. This would potentially lead to migration cycles (A->B, B->A, A->B, ...). Instead of using the allocator fallback lists directly, keep a separate node migration ordering. But, reuse the same data used to generate page allocator fallback in the first place: find_next_best_node(). This means that the firmware data used to populate node distances essentially dictates the ordering for now. It should also be architecture-neutral since all NUMA architectures have a working find_next_best_node(). RCU is used to allow lock-less read of node_demotion[] and prevent demotion cycles been observed. If multiple reads of node_demotion[] are performed, a single rcu_read_lock() must be held over all reads to ensure no cycles are observed. Details are as follows. === What does RCU provide? === Imagine a simple loop which walks down the demotion path looking for the last node: terminal_node = start_node; while (node_demotion[terminal_node] != NUMA_NO_NODE) { terminal_node = node_demotion[terminal_node]; } The initial values are: node_demotion[0] = 1; node_demotion[1] = NUMA_NO_NODE; and are updated to: node_demotion[0] = NUMA_NO_NODE; node_demotion[1] = 0; What guarantees that the cycle is not observed: node_demotion[0] = 1; node_demotion[1] = 0; and would loop forever? With RCU, a rcu_read_lock/unlock() can be placed around the loop. Since the write side does a synchronize_rcu(), the loop that observed the old contents is known to be complete before the synchronize_rcu() has completed. RCU, combined with disable_all_migrate_targets(), ensures that the old migration state is not visible by the time __set_migration_target_nodes() is called. === What does READ_ONCE() provide? === READ_ONCE() forbids the compiler from merging or reordering successive reads of node_demotion[]. This ensures that any updates are *eventually* observed. Consider the above loop again. The compiler could theoretically read the entirety of node_demotion[] into local storage (registers) and never go back to memory, and *permanently* observe bad values for node_demotion[]. Note: RCU does not provide any universal compiler-ordering guarantees: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20150921204327.GH4029@linux.vnet.ibm.com/ This code is unused for now. It will be called later in the series.

mm: introduce memmap_alloc() to unify memory map allocation There are several places that allocate memory for the memory map: alloc_node_mem_map() for FLATMEM, sparse_buffer_init() and __populate_section_memmap() for SPARSEMEM. The memory allocated in the FLATMEM case is zeroed and it is never poisoned, regardless of CONFIG_PAGE_POISON setting. The memory allocated in the SPARSEMEM cases is not zeroed and it is implicitly poisoned inside memblock if CONFIG_PAGE_POISON is set. Introduce memmap_alloc() wrapper for memblock allocators that will be used for both FLATMEM and SPARSEMEM cases and will makei memory map zeroing and poisoning consistent for different memory models.

mm/page_alloc: always initialize memory map for the holes Patch series "mm: ensure consistency of memory map poisoning". Currently memory map allocation for FLATMEM case does not poison the struct pages regardless of CONFIG_PAGE_POISON setting. This happens because allocation of the memory map for FLATMEM and SPARSMEM use different memblock functions and those that are used for SPARSMEM case (namely memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw() and memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw()) implicitly poison the allocated memory. Another side effect of this implicit poisoning is that early setup code that uses the same functions to allocate memory burns cycles for the memory poisoning even if it was not intended. These patches introduce memmap_alloc() wrapper that ensure that the memory map allocation is consistent for different memory models. This patch (of 4): Currently memory map for the holes is initialized only when SPARSEMEM memory model is used. Yet, even with FLATMEM there could be holes in the physical memory layout that have memory map entries. For instance, the memory reserved using e820 API on i386 or "reserved-memory" nodes in device tree would not appear in memblock.memory and hence the struct pages for such holes will be skipped during memory map initialization. These struct pages will be zeroed because the memory map for FLATMEM systems is allocated with memblock_alloc_node() that clears the allocated memory. While zeroed struct pages do not cause immediate problems, the correct behaviour is to initialize every page using __init_single_page(). Besides, enabling page poison for FLATMEM case will trigger PF_POISONED_CHECK() unless the memory map is properly initialized. Make sure init_unavailable_range() is called for both SPARSEMEM and FLATMEM so that struct pages representing memory holes would appear as PG_Reserved with any memory layout.

mm/page_alloc: don't corrupt pcppage_migratetype When placing pages on a pcp list, migratetype values over MIGRATE_PCPTYPES get added to the MIGRATE_MOVABLE pcp list. However, the actual migratetype is preserved in the page and should not be changed to MIGRATE_MOVABLE or the page may end up on the wrong free_list. The impact is that HIGHATOMIC or CMA pages getting bulk freed from the PCP lists could potentially end up on the wrong buddy list. There are various consequences but minimally NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES accounting could get screwed up.

mm/page_alloc: further fix __alloc_pages_bulk() return value The author of commit b3b64ebd3822 ("mm/page_alloc: do bulk array bounds check after checking populated elements") was possibly confused by the mixture of return values throughout the function. The API contract is clear that the function "Returns the number of pages on the list or array." It does not list zero as a unique return value with a special meaning. Therefore zero is a plausible return value only if @nr_pages is zero or less. Clean up the return logic to make it clear that the returned value is always the total number of pages in the array/list, not the number of pages that were allocated during this call. The only change in behavior with this patch is the value returned if prepare_alloc_pages() fails. To match the API contract, the number of pages currently in the array/list is returned in this case. The call site in __page_pool_alloc_pages_slow() also seems to be confused on this matter. It should be attended to by someone who is familiar with that code.

mm/page_alloc: avoid page allocator recursion with pagesets.lock held Syzbot is reporting potential deadlocks due to pagesets.lock when PAGE_OWNER is enabled.

The page owner code could be audited to strip GFP flags that allow sleeping but it'll impair the functionality of PAGE_OWNER if allocations fail. The bulk allocator could add a special case to release/reacquire the lock for prep_new_page and lookup PCP after the lock is reacquired at the cost of performance. The pages requiring prep could be tracked using the least significant bit and looping through the array although it is more complicated for the list interface. The options are relatively complex and the second one still incurs a performance penalty when PAGE_OWNER is active so this patch takes the simple approach -- disable bulk allocation of PAGE_OWNER is active. The caller will be forced to allocate one page at a time incurring a performance penalty but PAGE_OWNER is already a performance penalty.

hugetlb: address ref count racing in prep_compound_gigantic_page In [1], Jann Horn points out a possible race between prep_compound_gigantic_page and __page_cache_add_speculative. The root cause of the possible race is prep_compound_gigantic_page uncondittionally setting the ref count of pages to zero. It does this because prep_compound_gigantic_page is handed a 'group' of pages from an allocator and needs to convert that group of pages to a compound page. The ref count of each page in this 'group' is one as set by the allocator. However, the ref count of compound page tail pages must be zero. The potential race comes about when ref counted pages are returned from the allocator. When this happens, other mm code could also take a reference on the page. __page_cache_add_speculative is one such example. Therefore, prep_compound_gigantic_page can not just set the ref count of pages to zero as it does today. Doing so would lose the reference taken by any other code. This would lead to BUGs in code checking ref counts and could possibly even lead to memory corruption. There are two possible ways to address this issue. 1) Make all allocators of gigantic groups of pages be able to return a properly constructed compound page. 2) Make prep_compound_gigantic_page be more careful when constructing a compound page. This patch takes approach 2. In prep_compound_gigantic_page, use cmpxchg to only set ref count to zero if it is one. If the cmpxchg fails, call synchronize_rcu() in the hope that the extra ref count will be driopped during a rcu grace period. This is not a performance critical code path and the wait should be accceptable. If the ref count is still inflated after the grace period, then undo any modifications made and return an error. Currently prep_compound_gigantic_page is type void and does not return errors. Modify the two callers to check for and handle error returns. On error, the caller must free the 'group' of pages as they can not be used to form a gigantic page. After freeing pages, the runtime caller (alloc_fresh_huge_page) will retry the allocation once. Boot time allocations can not be retried. The routine prep_compound_page also unconditionally sets the ref count of compound page tail pages to zero. However, in this case the buddy allocator is constructing a compound page from freshly allocated pages. The ref count on those freshly allocated pages is already zero, so the set_page_count(p, 0) is unnecessary and could lead to confusion. Just remove it.

mm/page_alloc: split pcp->high across all online CPUs for cpuless nodes Dave Hansen reported the following about Feng Tang's tests on a machine with persistent memory onlined as a DRAM-like device. Feng Tang tossed these on a "Cascade Lake" system with 96 threads and ~512G of persistent memory and 128G of DRAM. The PMEM is in "volatile use" mode and being managed via the buddy just like the normal RAM. The PMEM zones are big ones: present 65011712 = 248 G high 134595 = 525 M The PMEM nodes, of course, don't have any CPUs in them. With your series, the pcp->high value per-cpu is 69584 pages or about 270MB per CPU. Scaled up by the 96 CPU threads, that's ~26GB of worst-case memory in the pcps per zone, or roughly 10% of the size of the zone. This should not cause a problem as such although it could trigger reclaim due to pages being stored on per-cpu lists for CPUs remote to a node. It is not possible to treat cpuless nodes exactly the same as normal nodes but the worst-case scenario can be mitigated by splitting pcp->high across all online CPUs for cpuless memory nodes.

mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and "cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64. Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists. Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload. That said, basic performance testing passed. The following is a netperf UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network allocations are high-order. netperf-udp 5.13.0-rc2 5.13.0-rc2 mm-pcpburst-v3r4 mm-pcphighorder-v1r7 Hmean send-64 261.46 ( 0.00%) 266.30 * 1.85%* Hmean send-128 516.35 ( 0.00%) 536.78 * 3.96%* Hmean send-256 1014.13 ( 0.00%) 1034.63 * 2.02%* Hmean send-1024 3907.65 ( 0.00%) 4046.11 * 3.54%* Hmean send-2048 7492.93 ( 0.00%) 7754.85 * 3.50%* Hmean send-3312 11410.04 ( 0.00%) 11772.32 * 3.18%* Hmean send-4096 13521.95 ( 0.00%) 13912.34 * 2.89%* Hmean send-8192 21660.50 ( 0.00%) 22730.72 * 4.94%* Hmean send-16384 31902.32 ( 0.00%) 32637.50 * 2.30%* Functionally, a patch like this is necessary to make bulk allocation of high-order pages work with similar performance to order-0 bulk allocations. The bulk allocator is not updated in this series as it would have to be determined by bulk allocation users how they want to track the order of pages allocated with the bulk allocator.

mm/page_alloc: move free_the_page Patch series "Allow high order pages to be stored on PCP", v2. The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only handles order-0 pages. With the series "Use local_lock for pcp protection and reduce stat overhead" and "Calculate pcp->high based on zone sizes and active CPUs", it's now feasible to store high-order pages on PCP lists. This small series allows PCP to store "cheap" orders where cheap is determined by PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER and THP-sized allocations. This patch (of 2): In the next page, free_compount_page is going to use the common helper free_the_page. This patch moves the definition to ease review. No functional change.

mm/page_alloc: introduce vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction This introduces a new sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction. It is similar to the old vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction. The old sysctl increased both pcp->batch and pcp->high with the higher pcp->high potentially reducing zone->lock contention. However, the higher pcp->batch value also potentially increased allocation latency while the PCP was refilled. This sysctl only adjusts pcp->high so that zone->lock contention is potentially reduced but allocation latency during a PCP refill remains the same. # grep -E "high:|batch" /proc/zoneinfo | tail -2 high: 649 batch: 63 # sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction=8 # grep -E "high:|batch" /proc/zoneinfo | tail -2 high: 35071 batch: 63 # sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction=64 high: 4383 batch: 63 # sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction=0 high: 649 batch: 63 [mgorman@techsingularity.net: fix documentation] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210528151010.GQ30378@techsingularity.net Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210525080119.5455-7-mgorman@techsingularity.net Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Acked-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Hillf Danton <hdanton@sina.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm/page_alloc: scale the number of pages that are batch freed When a task is freeing a large number of order-0 pages, it may acquire the zone->lock multiple times freeing pages in batches. This may unnecessarily contend on the zone lock when freeing very large number of pages. This patch adapts the size of the batch based on the recent pattern to scale the batch size for subsequent frees.

mm/page_alloc: disassociate the pcp->high from pcp->batch The pcp high watermark is based on the batch size but there is no relationship between them other than it is convenient to use early in boot. This patch takes the first step and bases pcp->high on the zone low watermark split across the number of CPUs local to a zone while the batch size remains the same to avoid increasing allocation latencies. The intent behind the default pcp->high is "set the number of PCP pages such that if they are all full that background reclaim is not started prematurely". Note that in this patch the pcp->high values are adjusted after memory hotplug events, min_free_kbytes adjustments and watermark scale factor adjustments but not CPU hotplug events which is handled later in the series.

mm/page_alloc: delete vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction Patch series "Calculate pcp->high based on zone sizes and active CPUs", v2. The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) is meant to reduce contention on the zone lock but the sizing of batch and high is archaic and neither takes the zone size into account or the number of CPUs local to a zone. With larger zones and more CPUs per node, the contention is getting worse. Furthermore, the fact that vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction adjusts both batch and high values means that the sysctl can reduce zone lock contention but also increase allocation latencies. This series disassociates pcp->high from pcp->batch and then scales pcp->high based on the size of the local zone with limited impact to reclaim and accounting for active CPUs but leaves pcp->batch static. It also adapts the number of pages that can be on the pcp list based on recent freeing patterns. The motivation is partially to adjust to larger memory sizes but is also driven by the fact that large batches of page freeing via release_pages() often shows zone contention as a major part of the problem. Another is a bug report based on an older kernel where a multi-terabyte process can takes several minutes to exit. A workaround was to use vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction to increase the pcp->high value but testing indicated that a production workload could not use the same values because of an increase in allocation latencies. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this test case myself as the multi-terabyte machines are in active use but it should alleviate the problem. The series aims to address both and partially acts as a pre-requisite. pcp only works with order-0 which is useless for SLUB (when using high orders) and THP (unconditionally). To store high-order pages on PCP, the pcp->high values need to be increased first. This patch (of 6): The vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction is used to increase the batch and high limits for the per-cpu page allocator (PCP). The intent behind the sysctl is to reduce zone lock acquisition when allocating/freeing pages but it has a problem. While it can decrease contention, it can also increase latency on the allocation side due to unreasonably large batch sizes. This leads to games where an administrator adjusts percpu_pagelist_fraction on the fly to work around contention and allocation latency problems. This series aims to alleviate the problems with zone lock contention while avoiding the allocation-side latency problems. For the purposes of review, it's easier to remove this sysctl now and reintroduce a similar sysctl later in the series that deals only with pcp->high.

mm/page_alloc: avoid conflating IRQs disabled with zone->lock Historically when freeing pages, free_one_page() assumed that callers had IRQs disabled and the zone->lock could be acquired with spin_lock(). This confuses the scope of what local_lock_irq is protecting and what zone->lock is protecting in free_unref_page_list in particular. This patch uses spin_lock_irqsave() for the zone->lock in free_one_page() instead of relying on callers to have disabled IRQs. free_unref_page_commit() is changed to only deal with PCP pages protected by the local lock. free_unref_page_list() then first frees isolated pages to the buddy lists with free_one_page() and frees the rest of the pages to the PCP via free_unref_page_commit(). The end result is that free_one_page() is no longer depending on side-effects of local_lock to be correct. Note that this may incur a performance penalty while memory hot-remove is running but that is not a common operation.

mm/vmstat: convert NUMA statistics to basic NUMA counters NUMA statistics are maintained on the zone level for hits, misses, foreign etc but nothing relies on them being perfectly accurate for functional correctness. The counters are used by userspace to get a general overview of a workloads NUMA behaviour but the page allocator incurs a high cost to maintain perfect accuracy similar to what is required for a vmstat like NR_FREE_PAGES. There even is a sysctl vm.numa_stat to allow userspace to turn off the collection of NUMA statistics like NUMA_HIT. This patch converts NUMA_HIT and friends to be NUMA events with similar accuracy to VM events. There is a possibility that slight errors will be introduced but the overall trend as seen by userspace will be similar. The counters are no longer updated from vmstat_refresh context as it is unnecessary overhead for counters that may never be read by userspace. Note that counters could be maintained at the node level to save space but it would have a user-visible impact due to /proc/zoneinfo.

mm/page_alloc: convert per-cpu list protection to local_lock There is a lack of clarity of what exactly local_irq_save/local_irq_restore protects in page_alloc.c . It conflates the protection of per-cpu page allocation structures with per-cpu vmstat deltas. This patch protects the PCP structure using local_lock which for most configurations is identical to IRQ enabling/disabling. The scope of the lock is still wider than it should be but this is decreased later. It is possible for the local_lock to be embedded safely within struct per_cpu_pages but it adds complexity to free_unref_page_list.

mm/page_alloc: split per cpu page lists and zone stats The PCP (per-cpu page allocator in page_alloc.c) shares locking requirements with vmstat and the zone lock which is inconvenient and causes some issues. For example, the PCP list and vmstat share the same per-cpu space meaning that it's possible that vmstat updates dirty cache lines holding per-cpu lists across CPUs unless padding is used. Second, PREEMPT_RT does not want to disable IRQs for too long in the page allocator. This series splits the locking requirements and uses locks types more suitable for PREEMPT_RT, reduces the time when special locking is required for stats and reduces the time when IRQs need to be disabled on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. Why local_lock? PREEMPT_RT considers the following sequence to be unsafe as documented in Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst local_irq_disable(); spin_lock(&lock); The pcp allocator has this sequence for rmqueue_pcplist (local_irq_save) -> __rmqueue_pcplist -> rmqueue_bulk (spin_lock). While it's possible to separate this out, it generally means there are points where we enable IRQs and reenable them again immediately. To prevent a migration and the per-cpu pointer going stale, migrate_disable is also needed. That is a custom lock that is similar, but worse, than local_lock. Furthermore, on PREEMPT_RT, it's undesirable to leave IRQs disabled for too long. By converting to local_lock which disables migration on PREEMPT_RT, the locking requirements can be separated and start moving the protections for PCP, stats and the zone lock to PREEMPT_RT-safe equivalent locking. As a bonus, local_lock also means that PROVE_LOCKING does something useful. After that, it's obvious that zone_statistics incurs too much overhead and leaves IRQs disabled for longer than necessary on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. zone_statistics uses perfectly accurate counters requiring IRQs be disabled for parallel RMW sequences when inaccurate ones like vm_events would do. The series makes the NUMA statistics (NUMA_HIT and friends) inaccurate counters that then require no special protection on !PREEMPT_RT. The bulk page allocator can then do stat updates in bulk with IRQs enabled which should improve the efficiency. Technically, this could have been done without the local_lock and vmstat conversion work and the order simply reflects the timing of when different series were implemented. Finally, there are places where we conflate IRQs being disabled for the PCP with the IRQ-safe zone spinlock. The remainder of the series reduces the scope of what is protected by disabled IRQs on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. By the end of the series, page_alloc.c does not call local_irq_save so the locking scope is a bit clearer. The one exception is that modifying NR_FREE_PAGES still happens in places where it's known the IRQs are disabled as it's harmless for PREEMPT_RT and would be expensive to split the locking there. No performance data is included because despite the overhead of the stats, it's within the noise for most workloads on !PREEMPT_RT. However, Jesper Dangaard Brouer ran a page allocation microbenchmark on a E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz CPU on the first version of this series. Focusing on the array variant of the bulk page allocator reveals the following. (CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz) ARRAY variant: time_bulk_page_alloc_free_array: step=bulk size Baseline Patched 1 56.383 54.225 (+3.83%) 2 40.047 35.492 (+11.38%) 3 37.339 32.643 (+12.58%) 4 35.578 30.992 (+12.89%) 8 33.592 29.606 (+11.87%) 16 32.362 28.532 (+11.85%) 32 31.476 27.728 (+11.91%) 64 30.633 27.252 (+11.04%) 128 30.596 27.090 (+11.46%) While this is a positive outcome, the series is more likely to be interesting to the RT people in terms of getting parts of the PREEMPT_RT tree into mainline. This patch (of 9): The per-cpu page allocator lists and the per-cpu vmstat deltas are stored in the same struct per_cpu_pages even though vmstats have no direct impact on the per-cpu page lists. This is inconsistent because the vmstats for a node are stored on a dedicated structure. The bigger issue is that the per_cpu_pages structure is not cache-aligned and stat updates either cache conflict with adjacent per-cpu lists incurring a runtime cost or padding is required incurring a memory cost. This patch splits the per-cpu pagelists and the vmstat deltas into separate structures. It's mostly a mechanical conversion but some variable renaming is done to clearly distinguish the per-cpu pages structure (pcp) from the vmstats (pzstats). Superficially, this appears to increase the size of the per_cpu_pages structure but the movement of expire fills a structure hole so there is no impact overall.

mm/page_alloc: bail out on fatal signal during reclaim/compaction retry attempt A customer experienced a low-memory situation and decided to issue a SIGKILL (i.e. a fatal signal). Instead of promptly terminating as one would expect, the aforementioned task remained unresponsive. Further investigation indicated that the task was "stuck" in the reclaim/compaction retry loop. Now, it does not make sense to retry compaction when a fatal signal is pending. In the context of try_to_compact_pages(), indeed COMPACT_SKIPPED can be returned; albeit, not every zone, on the zone list, would be considered in the case a fatal signal is found to be pending. Yet, in should_compact_retry(), given the last known compaction result, each zone, on the zone list, can be considered/or checked (see compaction_zonelist_suitable()). For example, if a zone was found to succeed, then reclaim/compaction would be tried again (notwithstanding the above). This patch ensures that compaction is not needlessly retried irrespective of the last known compaction result e.g. if it was skipped, in the unlikely case a fatal signal is found pending. So, OOM is at least attempted.

mm: make __dump_page static Patch series "Constify struct page arguments". While working on various solutions to the 32-bit struct page size regression, one of the problems I found was the networking stack expects to be able to pass const struct page pointers around, and the mm doesn't provide a lot of const-friendly functions to call. The root tangle of problems is that a lot of functions call VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(), which calls dump_page(), which calls a lot of functions which don't take a const struct page (but could be const). This patch (of 6): The only caller of __dump_page() now opencodes dump_page(), so remove it as an externally visible symbol.

mm/page_alloc: fix memory map initialization for descending nodes On systems with memory nodes sorted in descending order, for instance Dell Precision WorkStation T5500, the struct pages for higher PFNs and respectively lower nodes, could be overwritten by the initialization of struct pages corresponding to the holes in the memory sections. For example for the below memory layout [ 0.245624] Early memory node ranges [ 0.248496] node 1: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x0000000000090fff] [ 0.251376] node 1: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000dbdf8fff] [ 0.254256] node 1: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000001423ffffff] [ 0.257144] node 0: [mem 0x0000001424000000-0x0000002023ffffff] the range 0x1424000000 - 0x1428000000 in the beginning of node 0 starts in the middle of a section and will be considered as a hole during the initialization of the last section in node 1. The wrong initialization of the memory map causes panic on boot when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled. Reorder loop order of the memory map initialization so that the outer loop will always iterate over populated memory regions in the ascending order and the inner loop will select the zone corresponding to the PFN range. This way initialization of the struct pages for the memory holes will be always done for the ranges that are actually not populated.

kasan: disable freed user page poisoning with HW tags Poisoning freed pages protects against kernel use-after-free. The likelihood of such a bug involving kernel pages is significantly higher than that for user pages. At the same time, poisoning freed pages can impose a significant performance cost, which cannot always be justified for user pages given the lower probability of finding a bug. Therefore, disable freed user page poisoning when using HW tags. We identify "user" pages via the flag set GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE, which indicates a strong likelihood of not being directly accessible to the kernel.

arm64: mte: handle tags zeroing at page allocation time Currently, on an anonymous page fault, the kernel allocates a zeroed page and maps it in user space. If the mapping is tagged (PROT_MTE), set_pte_at() additionally clears the tags. It is, however, more efficient to clear the tags at the same time as zeroing the data on allocation. To avoid clearing the tags on any page (which may not be mapped as tagged), only do this if the vma flags contain VM_MTE. This requires introducing a new GFP flag that is used to determine whether to clear the tags. The DC GZVA instruction with a 0 top byte (and 0 tag) requires top-byte-ignore. Set the TCR_EL1.{TBI1,TBID1} bits irrespective of whether KASAN_HW is enabled.

To avoid page_alloc.c needing to know more details of what integrated init will do, move the unpoisoning logic for integrated init into the HW tags implementation.

mm/page_alloc: fix counting of free pages after take off from buddy Recently we found that there is a lot MemFree left in /proc/meminfo after do a lot of pages soft offline, it's not quite correct. Before Oscar's rework of soft offline for free pages [1], if we soft offline free pages, these pages are left in buddy with HWPoison flag, and NR_FREE_PAGES is not updated immediately. So the difference between NR_FREE_PAGES and real number of available free pages is also even big at the beginning. However, with the workload running, when we catch HWPoison page in any alloc functions subsequently, we will remove it from buddy, meanwhile update the NR_FREE_PAGES and try again, so the NR_FREE_PAGES will get more and more closer to the real number of available free pages. (regardless of unpoison_memory()) Now, for offline free pages, after a successful call take_page_off_buddy(), the page is no longer belong to buddy allocator, and will not be used any more, but we missed accounting NR_FREE_PAGES in this situation, and there is no chance to be updated later. Do update in take_page_off_buddy() like rmqueue() does, but avoid double counting if some one already set_migratetype_isolate() on the page.

mm/memory_hotplug: remove broken locking of zone PCP structures during hot remove zone_pcp_reset allegedly protects against a race with drain_pages using local_irq_save but this is bogus. local_irq_save only operates on the local CPU. If memory hotplug is running on CPU A and drain_pages is running on CPU B, disabling IRQs on CPU A does not affect CPU B and offers no protection. This patch deletes IRQ disable/enable on the grounds that IRQs protect nothing and assumes the existing hotplug paths guarantees the PCP cannot be used after zone_pcp_enable(). That should be the case already because all the pages have been freed and there is no page to put on the PCP lists.

mm: apply per-task gfp constraints in fast path Function current_gfp_context() is called after fast path. However, soon we will add more constraints which will also limit zones based on context. Move this call into fast path, and apply the correct constraints for all allocations. Also update .reclaim_idx based on value returned by current_gfp_context() because it soon will modify the allowed zones. Note: With this patch we will do one extra current->flags load during fast path, but we already load current->flags in fast-path: __alloc_pages() prepare_alloc_pages() current_alloc_flags(gfp_mask, *alloc_flags); Later, when we add the zone constrain logic to current_gfp_context() we will be able to remove current->flags load from current_alloc_flags, and therefore return fast-path to the current performance level.

mm cma: rename PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA to PF_MEMALLOC_PIN PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA is used ot guarantee that the allocator will not return pages that might belong to CMA region. This is currently used for long term gup to make sure that such pins are not going to be done on any CMA pages. When PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA has been introduced we haven't realized that it is focusing on CMA pages too much and that there is larger class of pages that need the same treatment. MOVABLE zone cannot contain any long term pins as well so it makes sense to reuse and redefine this flag for that usecase as well. Rename the flag to PF_MEMALLOC_PIN which defines an allocation context which can only get pages suitable for long-term pins. Also rename: memalloc_nocma_save()/memalloc_nocma_restore to memalloc_pin_save()/memalloc_pin_restore() and make the new functions common.

There is not much to gain from having additional abstraction. Use lru_cache_[disable|enable] instead of migrate_[prep|finish], which would be more descriptive. note: migrate_prep_local in compaction.c changed into lru_add_drain to avoid CPU schedule cost with involving many other CPUs to keep old behavior.

mm: disable LRU pagevec during the migration temporarily LRU pagevec holds refcount of pages until the pagevec are drained. It could prevent migration since the refcount of the page is greater than the expection in migration logic. To mitigate the issue, callers of migrate_pages drains LRU pagevec via migrate_prep or lru_add_drain_all before migrate_pages call. However, it's not enough because pages coming into pagevec after the draining call still could stay at the pagevec so it could keep preventing page migration. Since some callers of migrate_pages have retrial logic with LRU draining, the page would migrate at next trail but it is still fragile in that it doesn't close the fundamental race between upcoming LRU pages into pagvec and migration so the migration failure could cause contiguous memory allocation failure in the end. To close the race, this patch disables lru caches(i.e, pagevec) during ongoing migration until migrate is done. Since it's really hard to reproduce, I measured how many times migrate_pages retried with force mode(it is about a fallback to a sync migration) with below debug code. int migrate_pages(struct list_head *from, new_page_t get_new_page, .. .. if (rc && reason == MR_CONTIG_RANGE && pass > 2) { printk(KERN_ERR, "pfn 0x%lx reason %d", page_to_pfn(page), rc); dump_page(page, "fail to migrate"); } The test was repeating android apps launching with cma allocation in background every five seconds. Total cma allocation count was about 500 during the testing. With this patch, the dump_page count was reduced from 400 to 30. The new interface is also useful for memory hotplug which currently drains lru pcp caches after each migration failure. This is rather suboptimal as it has to disrupt others running during the operation. With the new interface the operation happens only once. This is also in line with pcp allocator cache which are disabled for the offlining as well.

mm: compaction: update the COMPACT[STALL|FAIL] events properly By definition, COMPACT[STALL|FAIL] events needs to be counted when there is 'At least in one zone compaction wasn't deferred or skipped from the direct compaction'. And when compaction is skipped or deferred, COMPACT_SKIPPED will be returned but it will still go and update these compaction events which is wrong in the sense that COMPACT[STALL|FAIL] is counted without even trying the compaction. Correct this by skipping the counting of these events when COMPACT_SKIPPED is returned for compaction. This indirectly also avoid the unnecessary try into the get_page_from_freelist() when compaction is not even tried. There is a corner case where compaction is skipped but still count COMPACTSTALL event, which is that IRQ came and freed the page and the same is captured in capture_control.

mm/vmscan: replace implicit RECLAIM_ZONE checks with explicit checks RECLAIM_ZONE was assumed to be unused because it was never explicitly used in the kernel. However, there were a number of places where it was checked implicitly by checking 'node_reclaim_mode' for a zero value. These zero checks are not great because it is not obvious what a zero mode *means* in the code. Replace them with a helper which makes it more obvious: node_reclaim_enabled(). This helper also provides a handy place to explicitly check the RECLAIM_ZONE bit itself. Check it explicitly there to make it more obvious where the bit can affect behavior. This should have no functional impact.

We can drop the in-use page check since __alloc_contig_pages can migrate away those pages, and the hugetlb page check can go too since isolate_migratepages_range is now capable of dealing with hugetlb pages.

mm,compaction: let isolate_migratepages_{range,block} return error codes Currently, isolate_migratepages_{range,block} and their callers use a pfn == 0 vs pfn != 0 scheme to let the caller know whether there was any error during isolation. This does not work as soon as we need to start reporting different error codes and make sure we pass them down the chain, so they are properly interpreted by functions like e.g: alloc_contig_range. Let us rework isolate_migratepages_{range,block} so we can report error codes. Since isolate_migratepages_block will stop returning the next pfn to be scanned, we reuse the cc->migrate_pfn field to keep track of that.

mm,page_alloc: bail out earlier on -ENOMEM in alloc_contig_migrate_range Patch series "Make alloc_contig_range handle Hugetlb pages", v10. alloc_contig_range lacks the ability to handle HugeTLB pages. This can be problematic for some users, e.g: CMA and virtio-mem, where those users will fail the call if alloc_contig_range ever sees a HugeTLB page, even when those pages lay in ZONE_MOVABLE and are free. That problem can be easily solved by replacing the page in the free hugepage pool. In-use HugeTLB are no exception though, as those can be isolated and migrated as any other LRU or Movable page. This aims to improve alloc_contig_range->isolate_migratepages_block, so that HugeTLB pages can be recognized and handled. Since we also need to start reporting errors down the chain (e.g: -ENOMEM due to not be able to allocate a new hugetlb page), isolate_migratepages_{range,block} interfaces need to change to start reporting error codes instead of the pfn == 0 vs pfn != 0 scheme it is using right now. From now on, isolate_migratepages_block will not return the next pfn to be scanned anymore, but -EINTR, -ENOMEM or 0, so we the next pfn to be scanned will be recorded in cc->migrate_pfn field (as it is already done in isolate_migratepages_range()). Below is an insight from David (thanks), where the problem can clearly be seen: "Start a VM with 4G. Hotplug 1G via virtio-mem and online it to ZONE_MOVABLE. Allocate 512 huge pages. [root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 5061512 kB MemFree: 3319396 kB MemAvailable: 3457144 kB ... HugePages_Total: 512 HugePages_Free: 512 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB The huge pages get partially allocate from ZONE_MOVABLE. Try unplugging 1G via virtio-mem (remember, all ZONE_MOVABLE). Inside the guest: [ 180.058992] alloc_contig_range: [1b8000, 1c0000) PFNs busy [ 180.060531] alloc_contig_range: [1b8000, 1c0000) PFNs busy [ 180.061972] alloc_contig_range: [1b8000, 1c0000) PFNs busy [ 180.063413] alloc_contig_range: [1b8000, 1c0000) PFNs busy [ 180.064838] alloc_contig_range: [1b8000, 1c0000) PFNs busy [ 180.065848] alloc_contig_range: [1bfc00, 1c0000) PFNs busy [ 180.066794] alloc_contig_range: [1bfc00, 1c0000) PFNs busy [ 180.067738] alloc_contig_range: [1bfc00, 1c0000) PFNs busy [ 180.068669] alloc_contig_range: [1bfc00, 1c0000) PFNs busy [ 180.069598] alloc_contig_range: [1bfc00, 1c0000) PFNs busy" And then with this patchset running: "Same experiment with ZONE_MOVABLE: a) Free huge pages: all memory can get unplugged again. b) Allocated/populated but idle huge pages: all memory can get unplugged again. c) Allocated/populated but all 512 huge pages are read/written in a loop: all memory can get unplugged again, but I get a single [ 121.192345] alloc_contig_range: [180000, 188000) PFNs busy Most probably because it happened to try migrating a huge page while it was busy. As virtio-mem retries on ZONE_MOVABLE a couple of times, it can deal with this temporary failure. Last but not least, I did something extreme: # cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 5061568 kB MemFree: 186560 kB MemAvailable: 354524 kB ...

As expected, I can properly see memory unplug not fully succeeding. + I get a fairly continuous stream of [ 226.611584] alloc_contig_range: [19f400, 19f800) PFNs busy ... But more importantly, the hugepage count remains stable, as configured by the admin (me): HugePages_Total: 2048 HugePages_Free: 2048 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0" This patch (of 7): Currently, __alloc_contig_migrate_range can generate -EINTR, -ENOMEM or -EBUSY, and report them down the chain. The problem is that when migrate_pages() reports -ENOMEM, we keep going till we exhaust all the try-attempts (5 at the moment) instead of bailing out. migrate_pages() bails out right away on -ENOMEM because it is considered a fatal error. Do the same here instead of keep going and retrying. Note that this is not fixing a real issue, just a cosmetic change.

mm: page_alloc: ignore init_on_free=1 for debug_pagealloc=1 On !ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC (like ia64) debug_pagealloc=1 implies page_poison=on: if (page_poisoning_enabled() || (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC) && debug_pagealloc_enabled())) static_branch_enable(&_page_poisoning_enabled); page_poison=on needs to override init_on_free=1. Before the change it did not work as expected for the following case: - have PAGE_POISONING=y - have page_poison unset - have !ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC arch (like ia64) - have init_on_free=1 - have debug_pagealloc=1 That way we get both keys enabled: - static_branch_enable(&init_on_free); - static_branch_enable(&_page_poisoning_enabled); which leads to poisoned pages returned for __GFP_ZERO pages.

mm/page_alloc: add a bulk page allocator This patch adds a new page allocator interface via alloc_pages_bulk, and __alloc_pages_bulk_nodemask. A caller requests a number of pages to be allocated and added to a list. The API is not guaranteed to return the requested number of pages and may fail if the preferred allocation zone has limited free memory, the cpuset changes during the allocation or page debugging decides to fail an allocation. It's up to the caller to request more pages in batch if necessary. Note that this implementation is not very efficient and could be improved but it would require refactoring. The intent is to make it available early to determine what semantics are required by different callers. Once the full semantics are nailed down, it can be refactored.

mm/page_alloc: rename alloced to allocated Patch series "Introduce a bulk order-0 page allocator with two in-tree users", v6. This series introduces a bulk order-0 page allocator with sunrpc and the network page pool being the first users. The implementation is not efficient as semantics needed to be ironed out first. If no other semantic changes are needed, it can be made more efficient. Despite that, this is a performance-related for users that require multiple pages for an operation without multiple round-trips to the page allocator. Quoting the last patch for the high-speed networking use-case Kernel XDP stats CPU pps Delta Baseline XDP-RX CPU total 3,771,046 n/a List XDP-RX CPU total 3,940,242 +4.49% Array XDP-RX CPU total 4,249,224 +12.68% Via the SUNRPC traces of svc_alloc_arg() Single page: 25.007 us per call over 532,571 calls Bulk list: 6.258 us per call over 517,034 calls Bulk array: 4.590 us per call over 517,442 calls Both potential users in this series are corner cases (NFS and high-speed networks) so it is unlikely that most users will see any benefit in the short term. Other potential other users are batch allocations for page cache readahead, fault around and SLUB allocations when high-order pages are unavailable. It's unknown how much benefit would be seen by converting multiple page allocation calls to a single batch or what difference it may make to headline performance. Light testing of my own running dbench over NFS passed. Chuck and Jesper conducted their own tests and details are included in the changelogs. Patch 1 renames a variable name that is particularly unpopular Patch 2 adds a bulk page allocator Patch 3 adds an array-based version of the bulk allocator Patches 4-5 adds micro-optimisations to the implementation Patches 6-7 SUNRPC user Patches 8-9 Network page_pool user This patch (of 9): Review feedback of the bulk allocator twice found problems with "alloced" being a counter for pages allocated. The naming was based on the API name "alloc" and was based on the idea that verbal communication about malloc tends to use the fake word "malloced" instead of the fake word mallocated. To be consistent, this preparation patch renames alloced to allocated in rmqueue_bulk so the bulk allocator and per-cpu allocator use similar names when the bulk allocator is introduced.

mm: page_alloc: dump migrate-failed pages Currently, debugging CMA allocation failures is quite limited. The most common source of these failures seems to be page migration which doesn't provide any useful information on the reason of the failure by itself. alloc_contig_range can report those failures as it holds a list of migrate-failed pages. The information logged by dump_page() has already proven helpful for debugging allocation issues, like identifying long-term pinnings on ZONE_MOVABLE or MIGRATE_CMA. Let's use the dynamic debugging infrastructure, such that we avoid flooding the logs and creating a lot of noise on frequent alloc_contig_range() calls. This information is helpful for debugging only. There are two ifdefery conditions to support common dyndbg options: - CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE && DYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE It aims for supporting the feature with only specific file with adding ccflags. - CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG It aims for supporting the feature with system wide globally. A simple example to enable the feature: Admin could enable the dump like this(by default, disabled) echo "func alloc_contig_dump_pages +p" > control Admin could disable it. echo "func alloc_contig_dump_pages =_" > control Detail goes Documentation/admin-guide/dynamic-debug-howto.rst A concern is utility functions in dump_page use inconsistent loglevels. In the future, we might want to make the loglevels used inside dump_page() consistent and eventually rework the way we log the information here. See [1].

mm/page_alloc: rename alloc_mask to alloc_gfp Patch series "Rationalise __alloc_pages wrappers", v3. I was poking around the __alloc_pages variants trying to understand why they each exist, and couldn't really find a good justification for keeping __alloc_pages and __alloc_pages_nodemask as separate functions. That led to getting rid of alloc_pages_current() and then I noticed the documentation was bad, and then I noticed the mempolicy documentation wasn't included. Anyway, this is all cleanups & doc fixes. This patch (of 7): We have two masks involved -- the nodemask and the gfp mask, so alloc_mask is an unclear name.

mm/page_alloc: drop pr_info_ratelimited() in alloc_contig_range() The information that some PFNs are busy is: a) not helpful for ordinary users: we don't even know *who* called alloc_contig_range(). This is certainly not worth a pr_info.*(). b) not really helpful for debugging: we don't have any details *why* these PFNs are busy, and that is what we usually care about. c) not complete: there are other cases where we fail alloc_contig_range() using different paths that are not getting recorded. For example, we reach this path once we succeeded in isolating pageblocks, but failed to migrate some pages - which can happen easily on ZONE_NORMAL (i.e., has_unmovable_pages() is racy) but also on ZONE_MOVABLE i.e., we would have to retry longer to migrate). For example via virtio-mem when unplugging memory, we can create quite some noise (especially with ZONE_NORMAL) that is not of interest to users - it's expected that some allocations may fail as memory is busy. Let's just drop that pr_info_ratelimit() and rather implement a dynamic debugging mechanism in the future that can give us a better reason why alloc_contig_range() failed on specific pages.

kasan, mm: integrate page_alloc init with HW_TAGS This change uses the previously added memory initialization feature of HW_TAGS KASAN routines for page_alloc memory when init_on_alloc/free is enabled. With this change, kernel_init_free_pages() is no longer called when both HW_TAGS KASAN and init_on_alloc/free are enabled. Instead, memory is initialized in KASAN runtime. To avoid discrepancies with which memory gets initialized that can be caused by future changes, both KASAN and kernel_init_free_pages() hooks are put together and a warning comment is added. This patch changes the order in which memory initialization and page poisoning hooks are called. This doesn't lead to any side-effects, as whenever page poisoning is enabled, memory initialization gets disabled. Combining setting allocation tags with memory initialization improves HW_TAGS KASAN performance when init_on_alloc/free is enabled.

This results in kasan_free_pages() being called, which poisons that memory. Poisoning all that memory lengthens boot time. The most noticeable effect is observed with the HW_TAGS mode. A boot-time impact may potentially also affect systems with large amount of RAM. This patch changes the tag-based modes to not poison the memory during the memblock->page_alloc transition. An exception is made for KASAN_GENERIC. Since it marks all new memory as accessible, not poisoning the memory released from memblock will lead to KASAN missing invalid boot-time accesses to that memory. With KASAN_SW_TAGS, as it uses the invalid 0xFE tag as the default tag for all memory, it won't miss bad boot-time accesses even if the poisoning of memblock memory is removed. With KASAN_HW_TAGS, the default memory tags values are unspecified. Therefore, if memblock poisoning is removed, this KASAN mode will miss the mentioned type of boot-time bugs with a 1/16 probability. This is taken as an acceptable trafe-off. Internally, the poisoning is removed as follows. __free_pages_core() is used when exposing fresh memory during system boot and when onlining memory during hotplug. This patch adds a new FPI_SKIP_KASAN_POISON flag and passes it to __free_pages_ok() through free_pages_prepare() from __free_pages_core(). If FPI_SKIP_KASAN_POISON is set, kasan_free_pages() is not called. All memory allocated normally when the boot is over keeps getting poisoned as usual.

mm/vmalloc: hugepage vmalloc mappings Support huge page vmalloc mappings. Config option HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMALLOC enables support on architectures that define HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP and supports PMD sized vmap mappings. vmalloc will attempt to allocate PMD-sized pages if allocating PMD size or larger, and fall back to small pages if that was unsuccessful. Architectures must ensure that any arch specific vmalloc allocations that require PAGE_SIZE mappings (e.g., module allocations vs strict module rwx) use the VM_NOHUGE flag to inhibit larger mappings. This can result in more internal fragmentation and memory overhead for a given allocation, an option nohugevmalloc is added to disable at boot.

mm: memcontrol: directly access page->memcg_data in mm/page_alloc.c page_memcg() is not suitable for use by page_expected_state() and page_bad_reason(). Because it can BUG_ON() for the slab pages when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled. As neither lru, nor kmem, nor slab page should have anything left in there by the time the page is freed, what we care about is whether the value of page->memcg_data is 0.

mm/memcg: set memcg when splitting page As described in the split_page() comment, for the non-compound high order page, the sub-pages must be freed individually. If the memcg of the first page is valid, the tail pages cannot be uncharged when be freed. For example, when alloc_pages_exact is used to allocate 1MB continuous physical memory, 2MB is charged(kmemcg is enabled and __GFP_ACCOUNT is set). When make_alloc_exact free the unused 1MB and free_pages_exact free the applied 1MB, actually, only 4KB(one page) is uncharged. Therefore, the memcg of the tail page needs to be set when splitting a page. Michel: There are at least two explicit users of __GFP_ACCOUNT with alloc_exact_pages added recently. See 7efe8ef274024 ("KVM: arm64: Allocate stage-2 pgd pages with GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT") and c419621873713 ("KVM: s390: Add memcg accounting to KVM allocations"), so this is not just a theoretical issue.

mm/page_alloc.c: refactor initialization of struct page for holes in memory layout There could be struct pages that are not backed by actual physical memory. This can happen when the actual memory bank is not a multiple of SECTION_SIZE or when an architecture does not register memory holes reserved by the firmware as memblock.memory. Such pages are currently initialized using init_unavailable_mem() function that iterates through PFNs in holes in memblock.memory and if there is a struct page corresponding to a PFN, the fields of this page are set to default values and it is marked as Reserved. init_unavailable_mem() does not take into account zone and node the page belongs to and sets both zone and node links in struct page to zero. Before commit 73a6e474cb37 ("mm: memmap_init: iterate over memblock regions rather that check each PFN") the holes inside a zone were re-initialized during memmap_init() and got their zone/node links right. However, after that commit nothing updates the struct pages representing such holes. On a system that has firmware reserved holes in a zone above ZONE_DMA, for instance in a configuration below: # grep -A1 E820 /proc/iomem 7a17b000-7a216fff : Unknown E820 type 7a217000-7bffffff : System RAM unset zone link in struct page will trigger VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!zone_spans_pfn(page_zone(page), pfn), page); in set_pfnblock_flags_mask() when called with a struct page from a range other than E820_TYPE_RAM because there are pages in the range of ZONE_DMA32 but the unset zone link in struct page makes them appear as a part of ZONE_DMA. Interleave initialization of the unavailable pages with the normal initialization of memory map, so that zone and node information will be properly set on struct pages that are not backed by the actual memory. With this change the pages for holes inside a zone will get proper zone/node links and the pages that are not spanned by any node will get links to the adjacent zone/node. The holes between nodes will be prepended to the zone/node above the hole and the trailing pages in the last section that will be appended to the zone/node below.

mm/page_alloc: count CMA pages per zone and print them in /proc/zoneinfo Let's count the number of CMA pages per zone and print them in /proc/zoneinfo. Having access to the total number of CMA pages per zone is helpful for debugging purposes to know where exactly the CMA pages ended up, and to figure out how many pages of a zone might behave differently, even after some of these pages might already have been allocated. As one example, CMA pages part of a kernel zone cannot be used for ordinary kernel allocations but instead behave more like ZONE_MOVABLE. For now, we are only able to get the global nr+free cma pages from /proc/meminfo and the free cma pages per zone from /proc/zoneinfo. Example after this patch when booting a 6 GiB QEMU VM with "hugetlb_cma=2G": # cat /proc/zoneinfo | grep cma cma 0 nr_free_cma 0 cma 0 nr_free_cma 0 cma 524288 nr_free_cma 493016 cma 0 cma 0 # cat /proc/meminfo | grep Cma CmaTotal: 2097152 kB CmaFree: 1972064 kB Note: We print even without CONFIG_CMA, just like "nr_free_cma"; this way, one can be sure when spotting "cma 0", that there are definetly no CMA pages located in a zone.

mm: page_frag: Introduce page_frag_alloc_align() In the current implementation of page_frag_alloc(), it doesn't have any align guarantee for the returned buffer address. But for some hardwares they do require the DMA buffer to be aligned correctly, so we would have to use some workarounds like below if the buffers allocated by the page_frag_alloc() are used by these hardwares for DMA. buf = page_frag_alloc(really_needed_size + align); buf = PTR_ALIGN(buf, align); These codes seems ugly and would waste a lot of memories if the buffers are used in a network driver for the TX/RX. So introduce page_frag_alloc_align() to make sure that an aligned buffer address is returned.

Revert "mm: fix initialization of struct page for holes in memory layout" This reverts commit d3921cb8be29ce5668c64e23ffdaeec5f8c69399. Chris Wilson reports that it causes boot problems: "We have half a dozen or so different machines in CI that are silently failing to boot, that we believe is bisected to this patch" and the CI team confirmed that a revert fixed the issues. The cause is unknown for now, so let's revert it.

kasan, mm: fix resetting page_alloc tags for HW_TAGS A previous commit added resetting KASAN page tags to kernel_init_free_pages() to avoid false-positives due to accesses to metadata with the hardware tag-based mode. That commit did reset page tags before the metadata access, but didn't restore them after. As the result, KASAN fails to detect bad accesses to page_alloc allocations on some configurations. Fix this by recovering the tag after the metadata access.

mm: fix initialization of struct page for holes in memory layout There could be struct pages that are not backed by actual physical memory. This can happen when the actual memory bank is not a multiple of SECTION_SIZE or when an architecture does not register memory holes reserved by the firmware as memblock.memory. Such pages are currently initialized using init_unavailable_mem() function that iterates through PFNs in holes in memblock.memory and if there is a struct page corresponding to a PFN, the fields if this page are set to default values and the page is marked as Reserved. init_unavailable_mem() does not take into account zone and node the page belongs to and sets both zone and node links in struct page to zero. On a system that has firmware reserved holes in a zone above ZONE_DMA, for instance in a configuration below: # grep -A1 E820 /proc/iomem 7a17b000-7a216fff : Unknown E820 type 7a217000-7bffffff : System RAM unset zone link in struct page will trigger VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!zone_spans_pfn(page_zone(page), pfn), page); because there are pages in both ZONE_DMA32 and ZONE_DMA (unset zone link in struct page) in the same pageblock. Update init_unavailable_mem() to use zone constraints defined by an architecture to properly setup the zone link and use node ID of the adjacent range in memblock.memory to set the node link.

mm: memmap defer init doesn't work as expected VMware observed a performance regression during memmap init on their platform, and bisected to commit 73a6e474cb376 ("mm: memmap_init: iterate over memblock regions rather that check each PFN") causing it. Before the commit: [0.033176] Normal zone: 1445888 pages used for memmap [0.033176] Normal zone: 89391104 pages, LIFO batch:63 [0.035851] ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x448 With commit [0.026874] Normal zone: 1445888 pages used for memmap [0.026875] Normal zone: 89391104 pages, LIFO batch:63 [2.028450] ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x448 The root cause is the current memmap defer init doesn't work as expected. Before, memmap_init_zone() was used to do memmap init of one whole zone, to initialize all low zones of one numa node, but defer memmap init of the last zone in that numa node. However, since commit 73a6e474cb376, function memmap_init() is adapted to iterater over memblock regions inside one zone, then call memmap_init_zone() to do memmap init for each region. E.g, on VMware's system, the memory layout is as below, there are two memory regions in node 2. The current code will mistakenly initialize the whole 1st region [mem 0xab00000000-0xfcffffffff], then do memmap defer to iniatialize only one memmory section on the 2nd region [mem 0x10000000000-0x1033fffffff]. In fact, we only expect to see that there's only one memory section's memmap initialized. That's why more time is costed at the time. [ 0.008842] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x00000000-0x0009ffff] [ 0.008842] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x00100000-0xbfffffff] [ 0.008843] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x100000000-0x55ffffffff] [ 0.008844] ACPI: SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 [mem 0x5600000000-0xaaffffffff] [ 0.008844] ACPI: SRAT: Node 2 PXM 2 [mem 0xab00000000-0xfcffffffff] [ 0.008845] ACPI: SRAT: Node 2 PXM 2 [mem 0x10000000000-0x1033fffffff] Now, let's add a parameter 'zone_end_pfn' to memmap_init_zone() to pass down the real zone end pfn so that defer_init() can use it to judge whether defer need be taken in zone wide.

kasan, mm: reset tags when accessing metadata Kernel allocator code accesses metadata for slab objects, that may lie out-of-bounds of the object itself, or be accessed when an object is freed. Such accesses trigger tag faults and lead to false-positive reports with hardware tag-based KASAN. Software KASAN modes disable instrumentation for allocator code via KASAN_SANITIZE Makefile macro, and rely on kasan_enable/disable_current() annotations which are used to ignore KASAN reports. With hardware tag-based KASAN neither of those options are available, as it doesn't use compiler instrumetation, no tag faults are ignored, and MTE is disabled after the first one. Instead, reset tags when accessing metadata (currently only for SLUB).

mm/lru: replace pgdat lru_lock with lruvec lock This patch moves per node lru_lock into lruvec, thus bring a lru_lock for each of memcg per node. So on a large machine, each of memcg don't have to suffer from per node pgdat->lru_lock competition. They could go fast with their self lru_lock. After move memcg charge before lru inserting, page isolation could serialize page's memcg, then per memcg lruvec lock is stable and could replace per node lru lock. In isolate_migratepages_block(), compact_unlock_should_abort and lock_page_lruvec_irqsave are open coded to work with compact_control. Also add a debug func in locking which may give some clues if there are sth out of hands.

Also, it expects a short descrpition at the header, followed by a long one, after the parameters. Fix it. 2) Kernel-doc requires that a kernel-doc markup to be immediately below the function prototype, as otherwise it will rename it. So, move get_pfnblock_flags_mask() description to the right place. 3) Make invalidate_mapping_pagevec() to also follow the expected kernel-doc format.

mm, page_poison: remove CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO uses the zero pattern instead of 0xAA. It was introduced by commit 1414c7f4f7d7 ("mm/page_poisoning.c: allow for zero poisoning"), noting that using zeroes retains the benefit of sanitizing content of freed pages, with the benefit of not having to zero them again on alloc, and the downside of making some forms of corruption (stray writes of NULLs) harder to detect than with the 0xAA pattern. Together with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY it made possible to sanitize the contents on free without checking it back on alloc. These days we have the init_on_free() option to achieve sanitization with zeroes and to save clearing on alloc (and without checking on alloc). Arguably if someone does choose to check the poison for corruption on alloc, the savings of not clearing the page are secondary, and it makes sense to always use the 0xAA poison pattern. Thus, remove the CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO option for being redundant.

mm, page_poison: use static key more efficiently Commit 11c9c7edae06 ("mm/page_poison.c: replace bool variable with static key") changed page_poisoning_enabled() to a static key check. However, the function is not inlined, so each check still involves a function call with overhead not eliminated when page poisoning is disabled. Analogically to how debug_pagealloc is handled, this patch converts page_poisoning_enabled() back to boolean check, and introduces page_poisoning_enabled_static() for fast paths. Both functions are inlined. The function kernel_poison_pages() is also called unconditionally and does the static key check inside. Remove it from there and put it to callers. Also split it to two functions kernel_poison_pages() and kernel_unpoison_pages() instead of the confusing bool parameter. Also optimize the check that enables page poisoning instead of debug_pagealloc for architectures without proper debug_pagealloc support. Move the check to init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() to enable a single static key instead of having two static branches in page_poisoning_enabled_static().

mm, page_alloc: do not rely on the order of page_poison and init_on_alloc/free parameters Patch series "cleanup page poisoning", v3. I have identified a number of issues and opportunities for cleanup with CONFIG_PAGE_POISON and friends: - interaction with init_on_alloc and init_on_free parameters depends on the order of parameters (Patch 1) - the boot time enabling uses static key, but inefficienty (Patch 2) - sanity checking is incompatible with hibernation (Patch 3) - CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY can be removed now that we have init_on_free (Patch 4) - CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO can be most likely removed now that we have init_on_free (Patch 5) This patch (of 5): Enabling page_poison=1 together with init_on_alloc=1 or init_on_free=1 produces a warning in dmesg that page_poison takes precedence. However, as these warnings are printed in early_param handlers for init_on_alloc/free, they are not printed if page_poison is enabled later on the command line (handlers are called in the order of their parameters), or when init_on_alloc/free is always enabled by the respective config option - before the page_poison early param handler is called, it is not considered to be enabled. This is inconsistent. We can remove the dependency on order by making the init_on_* parameters only set a boolean variable, and postponing the evaluation after all early params have been processed. Introduce a new init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() function for that, and move the related debug_pagealloc processing there as well. As a result init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() knows always accurately if init_on_* and/or page_poison options were enabled. Thus we can also optimize want_init_on_alloc() and want_init_on_free(). We don't need to check page_poisoning_enabled() there, we can instead not enable the init_on_* static keys at all, if page poisoning is enabled. This results in a simpler and more effective code.

mm: don't wake kswapd prematurely when watermark boosting is disabled On 2-node NUMA hosts we see bursts of kswapd reclaim and subsequent pressure spikes and stalls from cache refaults while there is plenty of free memory in the system. Usually, kswapd is woken up when all eligible nodes in an allocation are full. But the code related to watermark boosting can wake kswapd on one full node while the other one is mostly empty. This may be justified to fight fragmentation, but is currently unconditionally done whether watermark boosting is occurring or not. In our case, many of our workloads' throughput scales with available memory, and pure utilization is a more tangible concern than trends around longer-term fragmentation. As a result we generally disable watermark boosting. Wake kswapd only woken when watermark boosting is requested.

mm/page_alloc: speed up the iteration of max_order When we free a page whose order is very close to MAX_ORDER and greater than pageblock_order, it wastes some CPU cycles to increase max_order to MAX_ORDER one by one and check the pageblock migratetype of that page repeatedly especially when MAX_ORDER is much larger than pageblock_order. We also should not be checking migratetype of buddy when "order == MAX_ORDER - 1" as the buddy pfn may be invalid, so adjust the condition. With the new check, we don't need the max_order check anymore, so we replace it. Also adjust max_order initialization so that it's lower by one than previously, which makes the code hopefully more clear.

mm: page_alloc: refactor setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve() setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve() iterates through each zone setting zone->lowmem_reserve[j] = 0 (where j is the zone's index) then iterates backwards through all preceding zones, setting lower_zone->lowmem_reserve[j] = sum(managed pages of higher zones) / lowmem_reserve_ratio[idx] for each (where idx is the lower zone's index). If the lower zone has no managed pages or its ratio is 0 then all of its lowmem_reserve[] entries are effectively zeroed. As these arrays are only assigned here and all lowmem_reserve[] entries for index < this zone's index are implicitly assumed to be 0 (as these are specifically output in show_free_areas() and zoneinfo_show_print() for example) there is no need to additionally zero index == this zone's index too. This patch avoids zeroing unnecessarily. Rather than iterating through zones and setting lowmem_reserve[j] for each lower zone this patch reverse the process and populates each zone's lowmem_reserve[] values in ascending order. This clarifies what is going on especially in the case of zero managed pages or ratio which is now explicitly shown to clear these values.

init/main: fix broken buffer_init when DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT set In the booting phase if CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is set, we have following callchain: start_kernel ... mm_init mem_init memblock_free_all reset_all_zones_managed_pages free_low_memory_core_early ... buffer_init nr_free_buffer_pages zone->managed_pages ... rest_init kernel_init kernel_init_freeable page_alloc_init_late kthread_run(deferred_init_memmap, NODE_DATA(nid), "pgdatinit%d", nid); wait_for_completion(&pgdat_init_all_done_comp); ... files_maxfiles_init It's clear that buffer_init depends on zone->managed_pages, but it's reset in reset_all_zones_managed_pages after that pages are readded into zone->managed_pages, but when buffer_init runs this process is half done and most of them will finally be added till deferred_init_memmap done. In large memory couting of nr_free_buffer_pages drifts too much, also drifting from kernels to kernels on same hardware. Fix is simple, it delays buffer_init run till deferred_init_memmap all done. But as corrected by this patch, max_buffer_heads becomes very large, the value is roughly as many as 4 times of totalram_pages, formula: max_buffer_heads = nrpages * (10%) * (PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(struct buffer_head)); Say in a 64GB memory box we have 16777216 pages, then max_buffer_heads turns out to be roughly 67,108,864. In common cases, should a buffer_head be mapped to one page/block(4KB)? So max_buffer_heads never exceeds totalram_pages. IMO it's likely to make buffer_heads_over_limit bool value alwasy false, then make codes 'if (buffer_heads_over_limit)' test in vmscan unnecessary. So this patch will change the original behavior related to buffer_heads_over_limit in vmscan since we used a half done value of zone->managed_pages before, or should we use a smaller factor(<10%) in previous formula. akpm: I think this is OK - the max_buffer_heads code is only needed on highmem machines, to prevent ZONE_NORMAL from being consumed by large amounts of buffer_heads attached to highmem pagecache. This problem will not occur on 64-bit machines, so this feature's non-functionality on such machines is a feature, not a bug.

mm/page_alloc: clear all pages in post_alloc_hook() with init_on_alloc=1 commit 6471384af2a6 ("mm: security: introduce init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 boot options") resulted with init_on_alloc=1 in all pages leaving the buddy via alloc_pages() and friends to be initialized/cleared/zeroed on allocation. However, the same logic is currently not applied to alloc_contig_pages(): allocated pages leaving the buddy aren't cleared with init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=0. Let's also properly clear pages on that allocation path. To achieve that, let's move clearing into post_alloc_hook(). This will not only affect alloc_contig_pages() allocations but also any pages used as migration target in compaction code via compaction_alloc(). While this sounds sub-optimal, it's the very same handling as when allocating migration targets via alloc_migration_target() - pages will get properly cleared with init_on_free=1. In case we ever want to optimize migration in that regard, we should tackle all such migration users - if we believe migration code can be fully trusted. With this change, we will see double clearing of pages in some cases. One example are gigantic pages (either allocated via CMA, or allocated dynamically via alloc_contig_pages()) - which is the right thing to do (and to be optimized outside of the buddy in the callers) as discussed in: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201019182853.7467-1-gpiccoli@canonical.com This change implies that with init_on_alloc=1 - All CMA allocations will be cleared - Gigantic pages allocated via alloc_contig_pages() will be cleared - virtio-mem memory to be unplugged will be cleared. While this is suboptimal, it's similar to memory balloon drivers handling, where all pages to be inflated will get cleared as well. - Pages isolated for compaction will be cleared Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201120180452.19071-1-david@redhat.com Signed-off-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Alexander Potapenko <glider@google.com> Cc: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com> Cc: Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@suse.de> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm, page_alloc: disable pcplists during memory offline Memory offlining relies on page isolation to guarantee a forward progress because pages cannot be reused while they are isolated. But the page isolation itself doesn't prevent from races while freed pages are stored on pcp lists and thus can be reused. This can be worked around by repeated draining of pcplists, as done by commit 968318261221 ("mm/memory_hotplug: drain per-cpu pages again during memory offline"). David and Michal would prefer that this race was closed in a way that callers of page isolation who need stronger guarantees don't need to repeatedly drain. David suggested disabling pcplists usage completely during page isolation, instead of repeatedly draining them. To achieve this without adding special cases in alloc/free fastpath, we can use the same approach as boot pagesets - when pcp->high is 0, any pcplist addition will be immediately flushed. The race can thus be closed by setting pcp->high to 0 and draining pcplists once, before calling start_isolate_page_range(). The draining will serialize after processes that already disabled interrupts and read the old value of pcp->high in free_unref_page_commit(), and processes that have not yet disabled interrupts, will observe pcp->high == 0 when they are rescheduled, and skip pcplists. This guarantees no stray pages on pcplists in zones where isolation happens. This patch thus adds zone_pcp_disable() and zone_pcp_enable() functions that page isolation users can call before start_isolate_page_range() and after unisolating (or offlining) the isolated pages. Also, drain_all_pages() is optimized to only execute on cpus where pcplists are not empty. The check can however race with a free to pcplist that has not yet increased the pcp->count from 0 to 1. Thus make the drain optionally skip the racy check and drain on all cpus, and use this option in zone_pcp_disable(). As we have to avoid external updates to high and batch while pcplists are disabled, we take pcp_batch_high_lock in zone_pcp_disable() and release it in zone_pcp_enable(). This also synchronizes multiple users of zone_pcp_disable()/enable(). Currently the only user of this functionality is offline_pages().

mm, page_alloc: move draining pcplists to page isolation users Currently, pcplists are drained during set_migratetype_isolate() which means once per pageblock processed start_isolate_page_range(). This is somewhat wasteful. Moreover, the callers might need different guarantees, and the draining is currently prone to races and does not guarantee that no page from isolated pageblock will end up on the pcplist after the drain. Better guarantees are added by later patches and require explicit actions by page isolation users that need them. Thus it makes sense to move the current imperfect draining to the callers also as a preparation step.

mm, page_alloc: cache pageset high and batch in struct zone All per-cpu pagesets for a zone use the same high and batch values, that are duplicated there just for performance (locality) reasons. This patch adds the same variables also to struct zone as a shared copy. This will be useful later for making possible to disable pcplists temporarily by setting high value to 0, while remembering the values for restoring them later. But we can also immediately benefit from not updating pagesets of all possible cpus in case the newly recalculated values (after sysctl change or memory online/offline) are actually unchanged from the previous ones.

mm, page_alloc: simplify pageset_update() pageset_update() attempts to update pcplist's high and batch values in a way that readers don't observe batch > high. It uses smp_wmb() to order the updates in a way to achieve this. However, without proper pairing read barriers in readers this guarantee doesn't hold, and there are no such barriers in e.g. free_unref_page_commit(). Commit 88e8ac11d2ea ("mm, page_alloc: fix core hung in free_pcppages_bulk()") already showed this is problematic, and solved this by ultimately only trusing pcp->count of the current cpu with interrupts disabled. The update dance with unpaired write barriers thus makes no sense. Replace them with plain WRITE_ONCE to prevent store tearing, and document that the values can change asynchronously and should not be trusted for correctness. All current readers appear to be OK after 88e8ac11d2ea. Convert them to READ_ONCE to prevent unnecessary read tearing, but mainly to alert anybody making future changes to the code that special care is needed.

mm, page_alloc: clean up pageset high and batch update Patch series "disable pcplists during memory offline", v3. As per the discussions [1] [2] this is an attempt to implement David's suggestion that page isolation should disable pcplists to avoid races with page freeing in progress. This is done without extra checks in fast paths, as explained in Patch 9. The repeated draining done by [2] is then no longer needed. Previous version (RFC) is at [3]. The RFC tried to hide pcplists disabling/enabling into page isolation, but it wasn't completely possible, as memory offline does not unisolation. Michal suggested an explicit API in [4] so that's the current implementation and it seems indeed nicer. Once we accept that page isolation users need to do explicit actions around it depending on the needed guarantees, we can also IMHO accept that the current pcplist draining can be also done by the callers, which is more effective. After all, there are only two users of page isolation. So patch 6 does effectively the same thing as Pavel proposed in [5], and patch 7 implement stronger guarantees only for memory offline. If CMA decides to opt-in to the stronger guarantee, it can be added later. Patches 1-5 are preparatory cleanups for pcplist disabling. Patchset was briefly tested in QEMU so that memory online/offline works, but I haven't done a stress test that would prove the race fixed by [2] is eliminated. Note that patch 7 could be avoided if we instead adjusted page freeing in shown in [6], but I believe the current implementation of disabling pcplists is not too much complex, so I would prefer this instead of adding new checks and longer irq-disabled section into page freeing hotpaths.

Consolidate everything to pageset_set_high_and_batch() and remove pageset_set_batch() and pageset_set_high() wrappers. The only special case using one of the removed wrappers was: build_all_zonelists_init() setup_pageset() pageset_set_batch() which was hardcoding batch as 0, so we can just open-code a call to pageset_update() with constant parameters instead.

mm: introduce debug_pagealloc_{map,unmap}_pages() helpers Patch series "arch, mm: improve robustness of direct map manipulation", v7. During recent discussion about KVM protected memory, David raised a concern about usage of __kernel_map_pages() outside of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC scope [1]. Indeed, for architectures that define CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP it is possible that __kernel_map_pages() would fail, but since this function is void, the failure will go unnoticed. Moreover, there's lack of consistency of __kernel_map_pages() semantics across architectures as some guard this function with #ifdef DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, some refuse to update the direct map if page allocation debugging is disabled at run time and some allow modifying the direct map regardless of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC settings. This set straightens this out by restoring dependency of __kernel_map_pages() on DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and updating the call sites accordingly. Since currently the only user of __kernel_map_pages() outside DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is hibernation, it is updated to make direct map accesses there more explicit. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/2759b4bf-e1e3-d006-7d86-78a40348269d@redhat.com This patch (of 4): When CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled, it unmaps pages from the kernel direct mapping after free_pages(). The pages than need to be mapped back before they could be used. Theese mapping operations use __kernel_map_pages() guarded with with debug_pagealloc_enabled(). The only place that calls __kernel_map_pages() without checking whether DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled is the hibernation code that presumes availability of this function when ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP is set. Still, on arm64, __kernel_map_pages() will bail out when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is not enabled but set_direct_map_invalid_noflush() may render some pages not present in the direct map and hibernation code won't be able to save such pages. To make page allocation debugging and hibernation interaction more robust, the dependency on DEBUG_PAGEALLOC or ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP has to be made more explicit. Start with combining the guard condition and the call to __kernel_map_pages() into debug_pagealloc_map_pages() and debug_pagealloc_unmap_pages() functions to emphasize that __kernel_map_pages() should not be called without DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and use these new functions to map/unmap pages when page allocation debugging is enabled.

ia64: remove custom __early_pfn_to_nid() The ia64 implementation of __early_pfn_to_nid() essentially relies on the same data as the generic implementation.

The initialization of sparsemem that requires early_pfn_to_nid() happens later and it can use the memblock information like the other architectures.

mm: track mmu notifiers in fs_reclaim_acquire/release fs_reclaim_acquire/release nicely catch recursion issues when allocating GFP_KERNEL memory against shrinkers (which gpu drivers tend to use to keep the excessive caches in check). For mmu notifier recursions we do have lockdep annotations since 23b68395c7c7 ("mm/mmu_notifiers: add a lockdep map for invalidate_range_start/end"). But these only fire if a path actually results in some pte invalidation - for most small allocations that's very rarely the case. The other trouble is that pte invalidation can happen any time when __GFP_RECLAIM is set. Which means only really GFP_ATOMIC is a safe choice, GFP_NOIO isn't good enough to avoid potential mmu notifier recursion. I was pondering whether we should just do the general annotation, but there's always the risk for false positives. Plus I'm assuming that the core fs and io code is a lot better reviewed and tested than random mmu notifier code in drivers. Hence why I decide to only annotate for that specific case. Furthermore even if we'd create a lockdep map for direct reclaim, we'd still need to explicit pull in the mmu notifier map - there's a lot more places that do pte invalidation than just direct reclaim, these two contexts arent the same. Note that the mmu notifiers needing their own independent lockdep map is also the reason we can't hold them from fs_reclaim_acquire to fs_reclaim_release - it would nest with the acquistion in the pte invalidation code, causing a lockdep splat. And we can't remove the annotations from pte invalidation and all the other places since they're called from many other places than page reclaim. Hence we can only do the equivalent of might_lock, but on the raw lockdep map. With this we can also remove the lockdep priming added in 66204f1d2d1b ("mm/mmu_notifiers: prime lockdep") since the new annotations are strictly more powerful.

mm: Convert page kmemcg type to a page memcg flag PageKmemcg flag is currently defined as a page type (like buddy, offline, table and guard). Semantically it means that the page was accounted as a kernel memory by the page allocator and has to be uncharged on the release. As a side effect of defining the flag as a page type, the accounted page can't be mapped to userspace (look at page_has_type() and comments above). In particular, this blocks the accounting of vmalloc-backed memory used by some bpf maps, because these maps do map the memory to userspace. One option is to fix it by complicating the access to page->mapcount, which provides some free bits for page->page_type. But it's way better to move this flag into page->memcg_data flags. Indeed, the flag makes no sense without enabled memory cgroups and memory cgroup pointer set in particular. This commit replaces PageKmemcg() and __SetPageKmemcg() with PageMemcgKmem() and an open-coded OR operation setting the memcg pointer with the MEMCG_DATA_KMEM bit. __ClearPageKmemcg() can be simple deleted, as the whole memcg_data is zeroed at once. As a bonus, on !CONFIG_MEMCG build the PageMemcgKmem() check will be compiled out.

mm: memcontrol: Use helpers to read page's memcg data Patch series "mm: allow mapping accounted kernel pages to userspace", v6. Currently a non-slab kernel page which has been charged to a memory cgroup can't be mapped to userspace. The underlying reason is simple: PageKmemcg flag is defined as a page type (like buddy, offline, etc), so it takes a bit from a page->mapped counter. Pages with a type set can't be mapped to userspace. But in general the kmemcg flag has nothing to do with mapping to userspace. It only means that the page has been accounted by the page allocator, so it has to be properly uncharged on release. Some bpf maps are mapping the vmalloc-based memory to userspace, and their memory can't be accounted because of this implementation detail. This patchset removes this limitation by moving the PageKmemcg flag into one of the free bits of the page->mem_cgroup pointer. Also it formalizes accesses to the page->mem_cgroup and page->obj_cgroups using new helpers, adds several checks and removes a couple of obsolete functions. As the result the code became more robust with fewer open-coded bit tricks. This patch (of 4): Currently there are many open-coded reads of the page->mem_cgroup pointer, as well as a couple of read helpers, which are barely used. It creates an obstacle on a way to reuse some bits of the pointer for storing additional bits of information. In fact, we already do this for slab pages, where the last bit indicates that a pointer has an attached vector of objcg pointers instead of a regular memcg pointer. This commits uses 2 existing helpers and introduces a new helper to converts all read sides to calls of these helpers: struct mem_cgroup *page_memcg(struct page *page); struct mem_cgroup *page_memcg_rcu(struct page *page); struct mem_cgroup *page_memcg_check(struct page *page); page_memcg_check() is intended to be used in cases when the page can be a slab page and have a memcg pointer pointing at objcg vector. It does check the lowest bit, and if set, returns NULL. page_memcg() contains a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() check for the page not being a slab page. To make sure nobody uses a direct access, struct page's mem_cgroup/obj_cgroups is converted to unsigned long memcg_data.

page_frag: Recover from memory pressure The ethernet driver may allocate skb (and skb->data) via napi_alloc_skb(). This ends up to page_frag_alloc() to allocate skb->data from page_frag_cache->va. During the memory pressure, page_frag_cache->va may be allocated as pfmemalloc page. As a result, the skb->pfmemalloc is always true as skb->data is from page_frag_cache->va. The skb will be dropped if the sock (receiver) does not have SOCK_MEMALLOC. This is expected behaviour under memory pressure. However, once kernel is not under memory pressure any longer (suppose large amount of memory pages are just reclaimed), the page_frag_alloc() may still re-use the prior pfmemalloc page_frag_cache->va to allocate skb->data. As a result, the skb->pfmemalloc is always true unless page_frag_cache->va is re-allocated, even if the kernel is not under memory pressure any longer. Here is how kernel runs into issue. 1. The kernel is under memory pressure and allocation of PAGE_FRAG_CACHE_MAX_ORDER in __page_frag_cache_refill() will fail. Instead, the pfmemalloc page is allocated for page_frag_cache->va. 2: All skb->data from page_frag_cache->va (pfmemalloc) will have skb->pfmemalloc=true. The skb will always be dropped by sock without SOCK_MEMALLOC. This is an expected behaviour. 3. Suppose a large amount of pages are reclaimed and kernel is not under memory pressure any longer. We expect skb->pfmemalloc drop will not happen. 4. Unfortunately, page_frag_alloc() does not proactively re-allocate page_frag_alloc->va and will always re-use the prior pfmemalloc page. The skb->pfmemalloc is always true even kernel is not under memory pressure any longer. Fix this by freeing and re-allocating the page instead of recycling it.

mm/page_alloc: place pages to tail in __free_pages_core() __free_pages_core() is used when exposing fresh memory to the buddy during system boot and when onlining memory in generic_online_page(). generic_online_page() is used in two cases: 1. Direct memory onlining in online_pages(). 2. Deferred memory onlining in memory-ballooning-like mechanisms (HyperV balloon and virtio-mem), when parts of a section are kept fake-offline to be fake-onlined later on. In 1, we already place pages to the tail of the freelist. Pages will be freed to MIGRATE_ISOLATE lists first and moved to the tail of the freelists via undo_isolate_page_range(). In 2, we currently don't implement a proper rule. In case of virtio-mem, where we currently always online MAX_ORDER - 1 pages, the pages will be placed to the HEAD of the freelist - undesireable. While the hyper-v balloon calls generic_online_page() with single pages, usually it will call it on successive single pages in a larger block. The pages are fresh, so place them to the tail of the freelist and avoid the PCP. In __free_pages_core(), remove the now superflouos call to set_page_refcounted() and add a comment regarding page initialization and the refcount. Note: In 2. we currently don't shuffle. If ever relevant (page shuffling is usually of limited use in virtualized environments), we might want to shuffle after a sequence of generic_online_page() calls in the relevant callers.

mm/page_alloc: move pages to tail in move_to_free_list() Whenever we move pages between freelists via move_to_free_list()/ move_freepages_block(), we don't actually touch the pages: 1. Page isolation doesn't actually touch the pages, it simply isolates pageblocks and moves all free pages to the MIGRATE_ISOLATE freelist. When undoing isolation, we move the pages back to the target list. 2. Page stealing (steal_suitable_fallback()) moves free pages directly between lists without touching them. 3. reserve_highatomic_pageblock()/unreserve_highatomic_pageblock() moves free pages directly between freelists without touching them. We already place pages to the tail of the freelists when undoing isolation via __putback_isolated_page(), let's do it in any case (e.g., if order <= pageblock_order) and document the behavior. To simplify, let's move the pages to the tail for all move_to_free_list()/move_freepages_block() users. In 2., the target list is empty, so there should be no change. In 3., we might observe a change, however, highatomic is more concerned about allocations succeeding than cache hotness - if we ever realize this change degrades a workload, we can special-case this instance and add a proper comment. This change results in all pages getting onlined via online_pages() to be placed to the tail of the freelist.

mm/page_alloc: place pages to tail in __putback_isolated_page() __putback_isolated_page() already documents that pages will be placed to the tail of the freelist - this is, however, not the case for "order >= MAX_ORDER - 2" (see buddy_merge_likely()) - which should be the case for all existing users. This change affects two users: - free page reporting - page isolation, when undoing the isolation (including memory onlining). This behavior is desirable for pages that haven't really been touched lately, so exactly the two users that don't actually read/write page content, but rather move untouched pages. The new behavior is especially desirable for memory onlining, where we allow allocation of newly onlined pages via undo_isolate_page_range() in online_pages(). Right now, we always place them to the head of the freelist, resulting in undesireable behavior: Assume we add individual memory chunks via add_memory() and online them right away to the NORMAL zone. We create a dependency chain of unmovable allocations e.g., via the memmap. The memmap of the next chunk will be placed onto previous chunks - if the last block cannot get offlined+removed, all dependent ones cannot get offlined+removed. While this can already be observed with individual DIMMs, it's more of an issue for virtio-mem (and I suspect also ppc DLPAR). Document that this should only be used for optimizations, and no code should rely on this behavior for correction (if the order of the freelists ever changes). We won't care about page shuffling: memory onlining already properly shuffles after onlining. free page reporting doesn't care about physically contiguous ranges, and there are already cases where page isolation will simply move (physically close) free pages to (currently) the head of the freelists via move_freepages_block() instead of shuffling. If this becomes ever relevant, we should shuffle the whole zone when undoing isolation of larger ranges, and after free_contig_range().

mm/page_alloc: convert "report" flag of __free_one_page() to a proper flag Patch series "mm: place pages to the freelist tail when onlining and undoing isolation", v2. When adding separate memory blocks via add_memory*() and onlining them immediately, the metadata (especially the memmap) of the next block will be placed onto one of the just added+onlined block. This creates a chain of unmovable allocations: If the last memory block cannot get offlined+removed() so will all dependent ones. We directly have unmovable allocations all over the place. This can be observed quite easily using virtio-mem, however, it can also be observed when using DIMMs. The freshly onlined pages will usually be placed to the head of the freelists, meaning they will be allocated next, turning the just-added memory usually immediately un-removable. The fresh pages are cold, prefering to allocate others (that might be hot) also feels to be the natural thing to do. It also applies to the hyper-v balloon xen-balloon, and ppc64 dlpar: when adding separate, successive memory blocks, each memory block will have unmovable allocations on them - for example gigantic pages will fail to allocate. While the ZONE_NORMAL doesn't provide any guarantees that memory can get offlined+removed again (any kind of fragmentation with unmovable allocations is possible), there are many scenarios (hotplugging a lot of memory, running workload, hotunplug some memory/as much as possible) where we can offline+remove quite a lot with this patchset. a) To visualize the problem, a very simple example: Start a VM with 4GB and 8GB of virtio-mem memory: [root@localhost ~]# lsmem RANGE SIZE STATE REMOVABLE BLOCK 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000bfffffff 3G online yes 0-23 0x0000000100000000-0x000000033fffffff 9G online yes 32-103 Memory block size: 128M Total online memory: 12G Total offline memory: 0B Then try to unplug as much as possible using virtio-mem. Observe which memory blocks are still around. Without this patch set: [root@localhost ~]# lsmem RANGE SIZE STATE REMOVABLE BLOCK 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000bfffffff 3G online yes 0-23 0x0000000100000000-0x000000013fffffff 1G online yes 32-39 0x0000000148000000-0x000000014fffffff 128M online yes 41 0x0000000158000000-0x000000015fffffff 128M online yes 43 0x0000000168000000-0x000000016fffffff 128M online yes 45 0x0000000178000000-0x000000017fffffff 128M online yes 47 0x0000000188000000-0x0000000197ffffff 256M online yes 49-50 0x00000001a0000000-0x00000001a7ffffff 128M online yes 52 0x00000001b0000000-0x00000001b7ffffff 128M online yes 54 0x00000001c0000000-0x00000001c7ffffff 128M online yes 56 0x00000001d0000000-0x00000001d7ffffff 128M online yes 58 0x00000001e0000000-0x00000001e7ffffff 128M online yes 60 0x00000001f0000000-0x00000001f7ffffff 128M online yes 62 0x0000000200000000-0x0000000207ffffff 128M online yes 64 0x0000000210000000-0x0000000217ffffff 128M online yes 66 0x0000000220000000-0x0000000227ffffff 128M online yes 68 0x0000000230000000-0x0000000237ffffff 128M online yes 70 0x0000000240000000-0x0000000247ffffff 128M online yes 72 0x0000000250000000-0x0000000257ffffff 128M online yes 74 0x0000000260000000-0x0000000267ffffff 128M online yes 76 0x0000000270000000-0x0000000277ffffff 128M online yes 78 0x0000000280000000-0x0000000287ffffff 128M online yes 80 0x0000000290000000-0x0000000297ffffff 128M online yes 82 0x00000002a0000000-0x00000002a7ffffff 128M online yes 84 0x00000002b0000000-0x00000002b7ffffff 128M online yes 86 0x00000002c0000000-0x00000002c7ffffff 128M online yes 88 0x00000002d0000000-0x00000002d7ffffff 128M online yes 90 0x00000002e0000000-0x00000002e7ffffff 128M online yes 92 0x00000002f0000000-0x00000002f7ffffff 128M online yes 94 0x0000000300000000-0x0000000307ffffff 128M online yes 96 0x0000000310000000-0x0000000317ffffff 128M online yes 98 0x0000000320000000-0x0000000327ffffff 128M online yes 100 0x0000000330000000-0x000000033fffffff 256M online yes 102-103 Memory block size: 128M Total online memory: 8.1G Total offline memory: 0B With this patch set: [root@localhost ~]# lsmem RANGE SIZE STATE REMOVABLE BLOCK 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000bfffffff 3G online yes 0-23 0x0000000100000000-0x000000013fffffff 1G online yes 32-39 Memory block size: 128M Total online memory: 4G Total offline memory: 0B All memory can get unplugged, all memory block can get removed. Of course, no workload ran and the system was basically idle, but it highlights the issue - the fairly deterministic chain of unmovable allocations. When a huge page for the 2MB memmap is needed, a just-onlined 4MB page will be split. The remaining 2MB page will be used for the memmap of the next memory block. So one memory block will hold the memmap of the two following memory blocks. Finally the pages of the last-onlined memory block will get used for the next bigger allocations - if any allocation is unmovable, all dependent memory blocks cannot get unplugged and removed until that allocation is gone. Note that with bigger memory blocks (e.g., 256MB), *all* memory blocks are dependent and none can get unplugged again! b) Experiment with memory intensive workload I performed an experiment with an older version of this patch set (before we used undo_isolate_page_range() in online_pages(): Hotplug 56GB to a VM with an initial 4GB, onlining all memory to ZONE_NORMAL right from the kernel when adding it. I then run various memory intensive workloads that consume most system memory for a total of 45 minutes. Once finished, I try to unplug as much memory as possible. With this change, I am able to remove via virtio-mem (adding individual 128MB memory blocks) 413 out of 448 added memory blocks. Via individual (256MB) DIMMs 380 out of 448 added memory blocks. (I don't have any numbers without this patchset, but looking at the above example, it's at most half of the 448 memory blocks for virtio-mem, and most probably none for DIMMs). Again, there are workloads that might behave very differently due to the nature of ZONE_NORMAL. This change also affects (besides memory onlining): - Other users of undo_isolate_page_range(): Pages are always placed to the tail. -- When memory offlining fails -- When memory isolation fails after having isolated some pageblocks -- When alloc_contig_range() either succeeds or fails - Other users of __putback_isolated_page(): Pages are always placed to the tail. -- Free page reporting - Other users of __free_pages_core() -- AFAIKs, any memory that is getting exposed to the buddy during boot. IIUC we will now usually allocate memory from lower addresses within a zone first (especially during boot). - Other users of generic_online_page() -- Hyper-V balloon This patch (of 5): Let's prepare for additional flags and avoid long parameter lists of bools. Follow-up patches will also make use of the flags in __free_pages_ok().

mm,hwpoison: rework soft offline for in-use pages This patch changes the way we set and handle in-use poisoned pages. Until now, poisoned pages were released to the buddy allocator, trusting that the checks that take place at allocation time would act as a safe net and would skip that page. This has proved to be wrong, as we got some pfn walkers out there, like compaction, that all they care is the page to be in a buddy freelist. Although this might not be the only user, having poisoned pages in the buddy allocator seems a bad idea as we should only have free pages that are ready and meant to be used as such. Before explaining the taken approach, let us break down the kind of pages we can soft offline. - Anonymous THP (after the split, they end up being 4K pages) - Hugetlb - Order-0 pages (that can be either migrated or invalited) * Normal pages (order-0 and anon-THP) - If they are clean and unmapped page cache pages, we invalidate then by means of invalidate_inode_page(). - If they are mapped/dirty, we do the isolate-and-migrate dance. Either way, do not call put_page directly from those paths. Instead, we keep the page and send it to page_handle_poison to perform the right handling. page_handle_poison sets the HWPoison flag and does the last put_page. Down the chain, we placed a check for HWPoison page in free_pages_prepare, that just skips any poisoned page, so those pages do not end up in any pcplist/freelist. After that, we set the refcount on the page to 1 and we increment the poisoned pages counter. If we see that the check in free_pages_prepare creates trouble, we can always do what we do for free pages: - wait until the page hits buddy's freelists - take it off, and flag it The downside of the above approach is that we could race with an allocation, so by the time we want to take the page off the buddy, the page has been already allocated so we cannot soft offline it. But the user could always retry it. * Hugetlb pages - We isolate-and-migrate them After the migration has been successful, we call dissolve_free_huge_page, and we set HWPoison on the page if we succeed. Hugetlb has a slightly different handling though. While for non-hugetlb pages we cared about closing the race with an allocation, doing so for hugetlb pages requires quite some additional and intrusive code (we would need to hook in free_huge_page and some other places). So I decided to not make the code overly complicated and just fail normally if the page we allocated in the meantime. We can always build on top of this. As a bonus, because of the way we handle now in-use pages, we no longer need the put-as-isolation-migratetype dance, that was guarding for poisoned pages to end up in pcplists.

mm,hwpoison: rework soft offline for free pages When trying to soft-offline a free page, we need to first take it off the buddy allocator. Once we know is out of reach, we can safely flag it as poisoned. take_page_off_buddy will be used to take a page meant to be poisoned off the buddy allocator. take_page_off_buddy calls break_down_buddy_pages, which splits a higher-order page in case our page belongs to one. Once the page is under our control, we call page_handle_poison to set it as poisoned and grab a refcount on it.

memblock: reduce number of parameters in for_each_mem_range() Currently for_each_mem_range() and for_each_mem_range_rev() iterators are the most generic way to traverse memblock regions. As such, they have 8 parameters and they are hardly convenient to users. Most users choose to utilize one of their wrappers and the only user that actually needs most of the parameters is memblock itself. To avoid yet another naming for memblock iterators, rename the existing for_each_mem_range[_rev]() to __for_each_mem_range[_rev]() and add a new for_each_mem_range[_rev]() wrappers with only index, start and end parameters. The new wrapper nicely fits into init_unavailable_mem() and will be used in upcoming changes to simplify memblock traversals.

mm/page_alloc.c: fix freeing non-compound pages Here is a very rare race which leaks memory: Page P0 is allocated to the page cache. Page P1 is free.

mm/page_alloc: tweak comments in has_unmovable_pages() Patch series "mm / virtio-mem: support ZONE_MOVABLE", v5. When introducing virtio-mem, the semantics of ZONE_MOVABLE were rather unclear, which is why we special-cased ZONE_MOVABLE such that partially plugged blocks would never end up in ZONE_MOVABLE. Now that the semantics are much clearer (and are documented in patch #6), let's support partially plugged memory blocks in ZONE_MOVABLE, allowing partially plugged memory blocks to be online to ZONE_MOVABLE and also unplugging from such memory blocks. This avoids surprises when onlining of memory blocks suddenly fails, just because they are not completely populated by virtio-mem (yet). This is especially helpful for testing, but also paves the way for virtio-mem optimizations, allowing more memory to get reliably unplugged. Cleanup has_unmovable_pages() and set_migratetype_isolate(), providing better documentation of how ZONE_MOVABLE interacts with different kind of unmovable pages (memory offlining vs. alloc_contig_range()). This patch (of 6): Let's move the split comment regarding bootmem allocations and memory holes, especially in the context of ZONE_MOVABLE, to the PageReserved() check.

mm/page_alloc: handle a missing case for memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs can be used to skip page allocation on CMA area, but, there is a missing case and the page on CMA area could be allocated even if APIs are used. This patch handles this case to fix the potential issue. For now, these APIs are used to prevent long-term pinning on the CMA page. When the long-term pinning is requested on the CMA page, it is migrated to the non-CMA page before pinning. This non-CMA page is allocated by using memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs. If APIs doesn't work as intended, the CMA page is allocated and it is pinned for a long time. This long-term pin for the CMA page causes cma_alloc() failure and it could result in wrong behaviour on the device driver who uses the cma_alloc(). Missing case is an allocation from the pcplist. MIGRATE_MOVABLE pcplist could have the pages on CMA area so we need to skip it if ALLOC_CMA isn't specified.

mm: replace memmap_context by meminit_context Patch series "mm: fix memory to node bad links in sysfs", v3. Sometimes, firmware may expose interleaved memory layout like this: Early memory node ranges node 1: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000011fffffff] node 2: [mem 0x0000000120000000-0x000000014fffffff] node 1: [mem 0x0000000150000000-0x00000001ffffffff] node 0: [mem 0x0000000200000000-0x000000048fffffff] node 2: [mem 0x0000000490000000-0x00000007ffffffff] In that case, we can see memory blocks assigned to multiple nodes in sysfs: $ ls -l /sys/devices/system/memory/memory21 total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 node1 -> ../../node/node1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 node2 -> ../../node/node2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 online -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 phys_device -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 phys_index drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 power -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 removable -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 state lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:25 subsystem -> ../../../../bus/memory -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:25 uevent -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 valid_zones The same applies in the node's directory with a memory21 link in both the node1 and node2's directory. This is wrong but doesn't prevent the system to run. However when later, one of these memory blocks is hot-unplugged and then hot-plugged, the system is detecting an inconsistency in the sysfs layout and a BUG_ON() is raised: kernel BUG at /Users/laurent/src/linux-ppc/mm/memory_hotplug.c:1084!

The root cause of this issue is that when node's memory is registered, the range used can overlap another node's range, thus the memory block is registered to multiple nodes in sysfs. There are two issues here: (a) The sysfs memory and node's layouts are broken due to these multiple links (b) The link errors in link_mem_sections() should not lead to a system panic. To address (a) register_mem_sect_under_node should not rely on the system state to detect whether the link operation is triggered by a hot plug operation or not. This is addressed by the patches 1 and 2 of this series. Issue (b) will be addressed separately. This patch (of 2): The memmap_context enum is used to detect whether a memory operation is due to a hot-add operation or happening at boot time. Make it general to the hotplug operation and rename it as meminit_context.

mm/error_inject: Fix allow_error_inject function signatures. 'static' and 'static noinline' function attributes make no guarantees that gcc/clang won't optimize them. The compiler may decide to inline 'static' function and in such case ALLOW_ERROR_INJECT becomes meaningless. The compiler could have inlined __add_to_page_cache_locked() in one callsite and didn't inline in another. In such case injecting errors into it would cause unpredictable behavior. It's worse with 'static noinline' which won't be inlined, but it still can be optimized. Like the compiler may decide to remove one argument or constant propagate the value depending on the callsite. To avoid such issues make sure that these functions are global noinline.

mm, page_alloc: fix core hung in free_pcppages_bulk() The following race is observed with the repeated online, offline and a delay between two successive online of memory blocks of movable zone. P1 P2 Online the first memory block in the movable zone. The pcp struct values are initialized to default values,i.e., pcp->high = 0 & pcp->batch = 1. Allocate the pages from the movable zone. Try to Online the second memory block in the movable zone thus it entered the online_pages() but yet to call zone_pcp_update(). This process is entered into the exit path thus it tries to release the order-0 pages to pcp lists through free_unref_page_commit(). As pcp->high = 0, pcp->count = 1 proceed to call the function free_pcppages_bulk(). Update the pcp values thus the new pcp values are like, say, pcp->high = 378, pcp->batch = 63. Read the pcp's batch value using READ_ONCE() and pass the same to free_pcppages_bulk(), pcp values passed here are, batch = 63, count = 1. Since num of pages in the pcp lists are less than ->batch, then it will stuck in while(list_empty(list)) loop with interrupts disabled thus a core hung. Avoid this by ensuring free_pcppages_bulk() is called with proper count of pcp list pages. The mentioned race is some what easily reproducible without [1] because pcp's are not updated for the first memory block online and thus there is a enough race window for P2 between alloc+free and pcp struct values update through onlining of second memory block. With [1], the race still exists but it is very narrow as we update the pcp struct values for the first memory block online itself. This is not limited to the movable zone, it could also happen in cases with the normal zone (e.g., hotplug to a node that only has DMA memory, or no other memory yet).

mm: include CMA pages in lowmem_reserve at boot The lowmem_reserve arrays provide a means of applying pressure against allocations from lower zones that were targeted at higher zones. Its values are a function of the number of pages managed by higher zones and are assigned by a call to the setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve() function. The function is initially called at boot time by the function init_per_zone_wmark_min() and may be called later by accesses of the /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio sysctl file. The function init_per_zone_wmark_min() was moved up from a module_init to a core_initcall to resolve a sequencing issue with khugepaged. Unfortunately this created a sequencing issue with CMA page accounting. The CMA pages are added to the managed page count of a zone when cma_init_reserved_areas() is called at boot also as a core_initcall. This makes it uncertain whether the CMA pages will be added to the managed page counts of their zones before or after the call to init_per_zone_wmark_min() as it becomes dependent on link order. With the current link order the pages are added to the managed count after the lowmem_reserve arrays are initialized at boot. This means the lowmem_reserve values at boot may be lower than the values used later if /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio is accessed even if the ratio values are unchanged. In many cases the difference is not significant, but for example an ARM platform with 1GB of memory and the following memory layout cma: Reserved 256 MiB at 0x0000000030000000 Zone ranges: DMA [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000002fffffff] Normal empty HighMem [mem 0x0000000030000000-0x000000003fffffff] would result in 0 lowmem_reserve for the DMA zone. This would allow userspace to deplete the DMA zone easily. Funnily enough $ cat /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio would fix up the situation because as a side effect it forces setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve. This commit breaks the link order dependency by invoking init_per_zone_wmark_min() as a postcore_initcall so that the CMA pages have the chance to be properly accounted in their zone(s) and allowing the lowmem_reserve arrays to receive consistent values.

The first one should be a performance improvement for all users of compound pages, and the others are aimed at getting code to compile away when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is disabled (ie small systems). Also better documented / less confusing than the current prefix mixture of compound, hpage and thp. This patch (of 7): This removes a few instructions from functions which need to know how many pages are in a compound page. The storage used is either page->mapping on 64-bit or page->index on 32-bit. Both of these are fine to overlay on tail pages.

mm/page_alloc: fix memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs Currently, memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} API that prevents CMA area in page allocation is implemented by using current_gfp_context(). However, there are two problems of this implementation. First, this doesn't work for allocation fastpath. In the fastpath, original gfp_mask is used since current_gfp_context() is introduced in order to control reclaim and it is on slowpath. So, CMA area can be allocated through the allocation fastpath even if memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs are used. Currently, there is just one user for these APIs and it has a fallback method to prevent actual problem. Second, clearing __GFP_MOVABLE in current_gfp_context() has a side effect to exclude the memory on the ZONE_MOVABLE for allocation target. To fix these problems, this patch changes the implementation to exclude CMA area in page allocation. Main point of this change is using the alloc_flags. alloc_flags is mainly used to control allocation so it fits for excluding CMA area in allocation.

mm/page_alloc.c: skip setting nodemask when we are in interrupt When we are in the interrupt context, it is irrelevant to the current task context. If we use current task's mems_allowed, we can be fair to alloc pages in the fast path and fall back to slow path memory allocation when the current node(which is the current task mems_allowed) does not have enough memory to allocate. In this case, it slows down the memory allocation speed of interrupt context. So we can skip setting the nodemask to allow any node to allocate memory, so that fast path allocation can success.

mm/page_alloc.c: simplify pageblock bitmap access Due to commit e58469bafd05 ("mm: page_alloc: use word-based accesses for get/set pageblock bitmaps"), pageblock bitmap is accessed with word-based access. This operation could be simplified a little. Intuitively, if we want to get a bit range [start_idx, end_idx] in a word, we can do like this: mask = (1 << (end_bitidx - start_bitidx + 1)) - 1; ret = (word >> start_idx) & mask; And also if we want to set a bit range [start_idx, end_idx] with flags, we can do the same by just shift start_bitidx. By doing so we reduce some instructions for these two helper functions: Before Patched set_pfnblock_flags_mask 209 198(-5%) get_pfnblock_flags_mask 101 87(-13%) Since the syntax is changed a little, we need to check the whole 4-bit migrate_type instead of part of it.

mm, page_alloc: skip ->waternark_boost for atomic order-0 allocations When boosting is enabled, it is observed that rate of atomic order-0 allocation failures are high due to the fact that free levels in the system are checked with ->watermark_boost offset. This is not a problem for sleepable allocations but for atomic allocations which looks like regression. This problem is seen frequently on system setup of Android kernel running on Snapdragon hardware with 4GB RAM size. When no extfrag event occurred in the system, ->watermark_boost factor is zero, thus the watermark configurations in the system are: _watermark = ( [WMARK_MIN] = 1272, --> ~5MB [WMARK_LOW] = 9067, --> ~36MB [WMARK_HIGH] = 9385), --> ~38MB watermark_boost = 0 After launching some memory hungry applications in Android which can cause extfrag events in the system to an extent that ->watermark_boost can be set to max i.e. default boost factor makes it to 150% of high watermark. _watermark = ( [WMARK_MIN] = 1272, --> ~5MB [WMARK_LOW] = 9067, --> ~36MB [WMARK_HIGH] = 9385), --> ~38MB watermark_boost = 14077, -->~57MB With default system configuration, for an atomic order-0 allocation to succeed, having free memory of ~2MB will suffice. But boosting makes the min_wmark to ~61MB thus for an atomic order-0 allocation to be successful system should have minimum of ~23MB of free memory(from calculations of zone_watermark_ok(), min = 3/4(min/2)). But failures are observed despite system is having ~20MB of free memory. In the testing, this is reproducible as early as first 300secs since boot and with furtherlowram configurations(<2GB) it is observed as early as first 150secs since boot. These failures can be avoided by excluding the ->watermark_boost in watermark caluculations for atomic order-0 allocations.

page_alloc: consider highatomic reserve in watermark fast zone_watermark_fast was introduced by commit 48ee5f3696f6 ("mm, page_alloc: shortcut watermark checks for order-0 pages"). The commit simply checks if free pages is bigger than watermark without additional calculation such like reducing watermark. It considered free cma pages but it did not consider highatomic reserved. This may incur exhaustion of free pages except high order atomic free pages. Assume that reserved_highatomic pageblock is bigger than watermark min, and there are only few free pages except high order atomic free. Because zone_watermark_fast passes the allocation without considering high order atomic free, normal reclaimable allocation like GFP_HIGHUSER will consume all the free pages. Then finally order-0 atomic allocation may fail on allocation. This means watermark min is not protected against non-atomic allocation. The order-0 atomic allocation with ALLOC_HARDER unwantedly can be failed. Additionally the __GFP_MEMALLOC allocation with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS also can be failed. To avoid the problem, zone_watermark_fast should consider highatomic reserve. If the actual size of high atomic free is counted accurately like cma free, we may use it. On this patch just use nr_reserved_highatomic. Additionally introduce __zone_watermark_unusable_free to factor out common parts between zone_watermark_fast and __zone_watermark_ok. This is an example of ALLOC_HARDER allocation failure using v4.19 based kernel.

mm, page_alloc: use unlikely() in task_capc() Hugh noted that task_capc() could use unlikely(), as most of the time there is no capture in progress and we are in page freeing hot path. Indeed adding unlikely() produces assembly that better matches the assumption and moves all the tests away from the hot path. I have also noticed that we don't need to test for cc->direct_compaction as the only place we set current->task_capture is compact_zone_order() which also always sets cc->direct_compaction true.

mm/sparse: cleanup the code surrounding memory_present() After removal of CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP we have two equivalent functions that call memory_present() for each region in memblock.memory: sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() and membocks_present(). Moreover, all architectures have a call to either of these functions preceding the call to sparse_init() and in the most cases they are called one after the other. Mark the regions from memblock.memory as present during sparce_init() by making sparse_init() call memblocks_present(), make memblocks_present() and memory_present() functions static and remove redundant sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() function. Also remove no longer required HAVE_MEMORY_PRESENT configuration option.

In addition due to being per-zone, memcg has to keep a separate MEMCG_KERNEL_STACK_KB. Make the stat per-node and deprecate MEMCG_KERNEL_STACK_KB as memcg_stat_item is an extension of node_stat_item.

mm: memcg: convert vmstat slab counters to bytes In order to prepare for per-object slab memory accounting, convert NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE vmstat items to bytes. To make it obvious, rename them to NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B (similar to NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB). Internally global and per-node counters are stored in pages, however memcg and lruvec counters are stored in bytes. This scheme may look weird, but only for now. As soon as slab pages will be shared between multiple cgroups, global and node counters will reflect the total number of slab pages. However memcg and lruvec counters will be used for per-memcg slab memory tracking, which will take separate kernel objects in the account. Keeping global and node counters in pages helps to avoid additional overhead. The size of slab memory shouldn't exceed 4Gb on 32-bit machines, so it will fit into atomic_long_t we use for vmstats.

kernel/sysctl: support handling command line aliases We can now handle sysctl parameters on kernel command line, but historically some parameters introduced their own command line equivalent, which we don't want to remove for compatibility reasons. We can, however, convert them to the generic infrastructure with a table translating the legacy command line parameters to their sysctl names, and removing the one-off param handlers. This patch adds the support and makes the first conversion to demonstrate it, on the (deprecated) numa_zonelist_order parameter.

mm: Allow to offline unmovable PageOffline() pages via MEM_GOING_OFFLINE virtio-mem wants to allow to offline memory blocks of which some parts were unplugged (allocated via alloc_contig_range()), especially, to later offline and remove completely unplugged memory blocks. The important part is that PageOffline() has to remain set until the section is offline, so these pages will never get accessed (e.g., when dumping). The pages should not be handed back to the buddy (which would require clearing PageOffline() and result in issues if offlining fails and the pages are suddenly in the buddy). Let's allow to do that by allowing to isolate any PageOffline() page when offlining. This way, we can reach the memory hotplug notifier MEM_GOING_OFFLINE, where the driver can signal that he is fine with offlining this page by dropping its reference count. PageOffline() pages with a reference count of 0 can then be skipped when offlining the pages (like if they were free, however they are not in the buddy). Anybody who uses PageOffline() pages and does not agree to offline them (e.g., Hyper-V balloon, XEN balloon, VMWare balloon for 2MB pages) will not decrement the reference count and make offlining fail when trying to migrate such an unmovable page. So there should be no observable change. Same applies to balloon compaction users (movable PageOffline() pages), the pages will simply be migrated. Note 1: If offlining fails, a driver has to increment the reference count again in MEM_CANCEL_OFFLINE. Note 2: A driver that makes use of this has to be aware that re-onlining the memory block has to be handled by hooking into onlining code (online_page_callback_t), resetting the page PageOffline() and not giving them to the buddy.

virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hotunplug part 2 We also want to unplug online memory (contained in online memory blocks and, therefore, managed by the buddy), and eventually replug it later. When requested to unplug memory, we use alloc_contig_range() to allocate subblocks in online memory blocks (so we are the owner) and send them to our hypervisor. When requested to plug memory, we can replug such memory using free_contig_range() after asking our hypervisor. We also want to mark all allocated pages PG_offline, so nobody will touch them. To differentiate pages that were never onlined when onlining the memory block from pages allocated via alloc_contig_range(), we use PageDirty(). Based on this flag, virtio_mem_fake_online() can either online the pages for the first time or use free_contig_range(). It is worth noting that there are no guarantees on how much memory can actually get unplugged again. All device memory might completely be fragmented with unmovable data, such that no subblock can get unplugged. We are not touching the ZONE_MOVABLE. If memory is onlined to the ZONE_MOVABLE, it can only get unplugged after that memory was offlined manually by user space. In normal operation, virtio-mem memory is suggested to be onlined to ZONE_NORMAL. In the future, we will try to make unplug more likely to succeed. Add a module parameter to control if online memory shall be touched. As we want to access alloc_contig_range()/free_contig_range() from kernel module context, export the symbols. Note: Whenever virtio-mem uses alloc_contig_range(), all affected pages are on the same node, in the same zone, and contain no holes.

mm: parallelize deferred_init_memmap() Deferred struct page init is a significant bottleneck in kernel boot. Optimizing it maximizes availability for large-memory systems and allows spinning up short-lived VMs as needed without having to leave them running. It also benefits bare metal machines hosting VMs that are sensitive to downtime. In projects such as VMM Fast Restart[1], where guest state is preserved across kexec reboot, it helps prevent application and network timeouts in the guests. Multithread to take full advantage of system memory bandwidth. The maximum number of threads is capped at the number of CPUs on the node because speedups always improve with additional threads on every system tested, and at this phase of boot, the system is otherwise idle and waiting on page init to finish. Helper threads operate on section-aligned ranges to both avoid false sharing when setting the pageblock's migrate type and to avoid accessing uninitialized buddy pages, though max order alignment is enough for the latter. The minimum chunk size is also a section. There was benefit to using multiple threads even on relatively small memory (1G) systems, and this is the smallest size that the alignment allows. The time (milliseconds) is the slowest node to initialize since boot blocks until all nodes finish. intel_pstate is loaded in active mode without hwp and with turbo enabled, and intel_idle is active as well.

mm: initialize deferred pages with interrupts enabled Initializing struct pages is a long task and keeping interrupts disabled for the duration of this operation introduces a number of problems. 1. jiffies are not updated for long period of time, and thus incorrect time is reported. See proposed solution and discussion here: lkml/20200311123848.118638-1-shile.zhang@linux.alibaba.com 2. It prevents farther improving deferred page initialization by allowing intra-node multi-threading. We are keeping interrupts disabled to solve a rather theoretical problem that was never observed in real world (See 3a2d7fa8a3d5). Let's keep interrupts enabled. In case we ever encounter a scenario where an interrupt thread wants to allocate large amount of memory this early in boot we can deal with that by growing zone (see deferred_grow_zone()) by the needed amount before starting deferred_init_memmap() threads.

mm/pagealloc.c: call touch_nmi_watchdog() on max order boundaries in deferred init Patch series "initialize deferred pages with interrupts enabled", v4. Keep interrupts enabled during deferred page initialization in order to make code more modular and allow jiffies to update. Original approach, and discussion can be found here: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200311123848.118638-1-shile.zhang@linux.alibaba.com This patch (of 3): deferred_init_memmap() disables interrupts the entire time, so it calls touch_nmi_watchdog() periodically to avoid soft lockup splats. Soon it will run with interrupts enabled, at which point cond_resched() should be used instead. deferred_grow_zone() makes the same watchdog calls through code shared with deferred init but will continue to run with interrupts disabled, so it can't call cond_resched().

mm, page_alloc: reset the zone->watermark_boost early Updating the zone watermarks by any means, like min_free_kbytes, water_mark_scale_factor etc, when ->watermark_boost is set will result in higher low and high watermarks than the user asked. Below are the steps to reproduce the problem on system setup of Android kernel running on Snapdragon hardware. 1) Default settings of the system are as below: #cat /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes = 5162 #cat /proc/zoneinfo | grep -e boost -e low -e "high " -e min -e Node Node 0, zone Normal min 797 low 8340 high 8539 2) Monitor the zone->watermark_boost(by adding a debug print in the kernel) and whenever it is greater than zero value, write the same value of min_free_kbytes obtained from step 1. #echo 5162 > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes 3) Then read the zone watermarks in the system while the ->watermark_boost is zero. This should show the same values of watermarks as step 1 but shown a higher values than asked. #cat /proc/zoneinfo | grep -e boost -e low -e "high " -e min -e Node Node 0, zone Normal min 797 low 21148 high 21347 These higher values are because of updating the zone watermarks using the macro min_wmark_pages(zone) which also adds the zone->watermark_boost. #define min_wmark_pages(z) (z->_watermark[WMARK_MIN] + z->watermark_boost) So the steps that lead to the issue are: 1) On the extfrag event, watermarks are boosted by storing the required value in ->watermark_boost. 2) User tries to update the zone watermarks level in the system through min_free_kbytes or watermark_scale_factor. 3) Later, when kswapd woke up, it resets the zone->watermark_boost to zero. In step 2), we use the min_wmark_pages() macro to store the watermarks in the zone structure thus the values are always offsetted by ->watermark_boost value. This can be avoided by resetting the ->watermark_boost to zero before it is used.

mm/page_alloc.c: reset numa stats for boot pagesets Initially, the per-cpu pagesets of each zone are set to the boot pagesets. The real pagesets are allocated later but before that happens, page allocations do occur and the numa stats for the boot pagesets get incremented since they are common to all zones at that point. The real pagesets, however, are allocated for the populated zones only. Unpopulated zones, like those associated with memory-less nodes, continue using the boot pageset and end up skewing the numa stats of the corresponding node. E.g. $ numactl -H available: 2 nodes (0-1) node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 node 0 size: 0 MB node 0 free: 0 MB node 1 cpus: 4 5 6 7 node 1 size: 8131 MB node 1 free: 6980 MB node distances: node 0 1 0: 10 40 1: 40 10 $ numastat node0 node1 numa_hit 108 56495 numa_miss 0 0 numa_foreign 0 0 interleave_hit 0 4537 local_node 108 31547 other_node 0 24948 Hence, the boot pageset stats need to be cleared after the real pagesets are allocated. After this point, the stats of the boot pagesets do not change as page allocations requested for a memory-less node will either fail (if __GFP_THISNODE is used) or get fulfilled by a preferred zone of a different node based on the fallback zonelist.

mm/page_alloc.c: clear out zone->lowmem_reserve[] if the zone is empty When requesting memory allocation from a specific zone is not satisfied, it will fall to lower zone to try allocating memory. In this case, lower zone's ->lowmem_reserve[] will help protect its own memory resource. The higher the relevant ->lowmem_reserve[] is, the harder the upper zone can get memory from this lower zone. However, this protection mechanism should be applied to populated zone, but not an empty zone. So filling ->lowmem_reserve[] for empty zone is not necessary, and may mislead people that it's valid data in that zone.

mm/page_alloc.c: only tune sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio value once when changing it Patch series "improvements about lowmem_reserve and /proc/zoneinfo", v2. This patch (of 3): When people write to /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio to change sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[], setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve() is called to recalculate all ->lowmem_reserve[] for each zone of all nodes as below: static void setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve(void) { ... for_each_online_pgdat(pgdat) { for (j = 0; j < MAX_NR_ZONES; j++) { ... while (idx) { ... if (sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[idx] < 1) { sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[idx] = 0; lower_zone->lowmem_reserve[j] = 0; } else { ... } } } } Meanwhile, here, sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[idx] will be tuned if its value is smaller than '1'. As we know, sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[] is set for zone without regarding to which node it belongs to. That means the tuning will be done on all nodes, even though it has been done in the first node. And the tuning will be done too even when init_per_zone_wmark_min() calls setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve(), where actually nobody tries to change sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[]. So now move the tuning into lowmem_reserve_ratio_sysctl_handler(), to make code logic more reasonable.

mm,page_alloc,cma: conditionally prefer cma pageblocks for movable allocations Currently a cma area is barely used by the page allocator because it's used only as a fallback from movable, however kswapd tries hard to make sure that the fallback path isn't used. This results in a system evicting memory and pushing data into swap, while lots of CMA memory is still available. This happens despite the fact that alloc_contig_range is perfectly capable of moving any movable allocations out of the way of an allocation. To effectively use the cma area let's alter the rules: if the zone has more free cma pages than the half of total free pages in the zone, use cma pageblocks first and fallback to movable blocks in the case of failure.

mm: clean up free_area_init_node() and its helpers free_area_init_node() now always uses memblock info and the zone PFN limits so it does not need the backwards compatibility functions to calculate the zone spanned and absent pages. The removal of the compat_ versions of zone_{abscent,spanned}_pages_in_node() in turn, makes zone_size and zhole_size parameters unused. The node_start_pfn is determined by get_pfn_range_for_nid(), so there is no need to pass it to free_area_init_node(). As a result, the only required parameter to free_area_init_node() is the node ID, all the rest are removed along with no longer used compat_zone_{abscent,spanned}_pages_in_node() helpers.

mm: free_area_init: allow defining max_zone_pfn in descending order Some architectures (e.g. ARC) have the ZONE_HIGHMEM zone below the ZONE_NORMAL. Allowing free_area_init() parse max_zone_pfn array even it is sorted in descending order allows using free_area_init() on such architectures. Add top -> down traversal of max_zone_pfn array in free_area_init() and use the latter in ARC node/zone initialization.

mm: memmap_init: iterate over memblock regions rather that check each PFN When called during boot the memmap_init_zone() function checks if each PFN is valid and actually belongs to the node being initialized using early_pfn_valid() and early_pfn_in_nid(). Each such check may cost up to O(log(n)) where n is the number of memory banks, so for large amount of memory overall time spent in early_pfn*() becomes substantial. Since the information is anyway present in memblock, we can iterate over memblock memory regions in memmap_init() and only call memmap_init_zone() for PFN ranges that are know to be valid and in the appropriate node.

mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP option CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is used to differentiate initialization of nodes and zones structures between the systems that have region to node mapping in memblock and those that don't. Currently all the NUMA architectures enable this option and for the non-NUMA systems we can presume that all the memory belongs to node 0 and therefore the compile time configuration option is not required. The remaining few architectures that use DISCONTIGMEM without NUMA are easily updated to use memblock_add_node() instead of memblock_add() and thus have proper correspondence of memblock regions to NUMA nodes. Still, free_area_init_node() must have a backward compatible version because its semantics with and without CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is different. Once all the architectures will use the new semantics, the entire compatibility layer can be dropped. To avoid addition of extra run time memory to store node id for architectures that keep memblock but have only a single node, the node id field of the memblock_region is guarded by CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and the corresponding accessors presume that in those cases it is always 0.

mm: memblock: replace dereferences of memblock_region.nid with API calls Patch series "mm: rework free_area_init*() funcitons". After the discussion [1] about removal of CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES and CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP options, I took it a bit further and updated the node/zone initialization. Since all architectures have memblock, it is possible to use only the newer version of free_area_init_node() that calculates the zone and node boundaries based on memblock node mapping and architectural limits on possible zone PFNs. The architectures that still determined zone and hole sizes can be switched to the generic code and the old code that took those zone and hole sizes can be simply removed. And, since it all started from the removal of CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES, the memmap_init() is now updated to iterate over memblocks and so it does not need to perform early_pfn_to_nid() query for every PFN. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1585420282-25630-1-git-send-email-Hoan@os.amperecomputing.com This patch (of 21): There are several places in the code that directly dereference memblock_region.nid despite this field being defined only when CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP=y. Replace these with calls to memblock_get_region_nid() to improve code robustness and to avoid possible breakage when CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP will be removed.

mm/writeback: discard NR_UNSTABLE_NFS, use NR_WRITEBACK instead After an NFS page has been written it is considered "unstable" until a COMMIT request succeeds. If the COMMIT fails, the page will be re-written. These "unstable" pages are currently accounted as "reclaimable", either in WB_RECLAIMABLE, or in NR_UNSTABLE_NFS which is included in a 'reclaimable' count. This might have made sense when sending the COMMIT required a separate action by the VFS/MM (e.g. releasepage() used to send a COMMIT). However now that all writes generated by ->writepages() will automatically be followed by a COMMIT (since commit 919e3bd9a875 ("NFS: Ensure we commit after writeback is complete")) it makes more sense to treat them as writeback pages. So this patch removes NR_UNSTABLE_NFS and accounts unstable pages in NR_WRITEBACK and WB_WRITEBACK. A particular effect of this change is that when wb_check_background_flush() calls wb_over_bg_threshold(), the latter will report 'true' a lot less often as the 'unstable' pages are no longer considered 'dirty' (as there is nothing that writeback can do about them anyway). Currently wb_check_background_flush() will trigger writeback to NFS even when there are relatively few dirty pages (if there are lots of unstable pages), this can result in small writes going to the server (10s of Kilobytes rather than a Megabyte) which hurts throughput. With this patch, there are fewer writes which are each larger on average. Where the NR_UNSTABLE_NFS count was included in statistics virtual-files, the entry is retained, but the value is hard-coded as zero. static trace points and warning printks which mentioned this counter no longer report it.

mm: limit boost_watermark on small zones Commit 1c30844d2dfe ("mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs") adds a boost_watermark() function which increases the min watermark in a zone by at least pageblock_nr_pages or the number of pages in a page block. On Arm64, with 64K pages and 512M huge pages, this is 8192 pages or 512M. It does this regardless of the number of managed pages managed in the zone or the likelihood of success. This can put the zone immediately under water in terms of allocating pages from the zone, and can cause a small machine to fail immediately due to OoM. Unlike set_recommended_min_free_kbytes(), which substantially increases min_free_kbytes and is tied to THP, boost_watermark() can be called even if THP is not active. The problem is most likely to appear on architectures such as Arm64 where pageblock_nr_pages is very large. It is desirable to run the kdump capture kernel in as small a space as possible to avoid wasting memory. In some architectures, such as Arm64, there are restrictions on where the capture kernel can run, and therefore, the space available. A capture kernel running in 768M can fail due to OoM immediately after boost_watermark() sets the min in zone DMA32, where most of the memory is, to 512M. It fails even though there is over 500M of free memory. With boost_watermark() suppressed, the capture kernel can run successfully in 448M. This patch limits boost_watermark() to boosting a zone's min watermark only when there are enough pages that the boost will produce positive results. In this case that is estimated to be four times as many pages as pageblock_nr_pages. Mel said: : There is no harm in marking it stable. Clearly it does not happen very : often but it's not impossible. 32-bit x86 is a lot less common now : which would previously have been vulnerable to triggering this easily. : ppc64 has a larger base page size but typically only has one zone. : arm64 is likely the most vulnerable, particularly when CMA is : configured with a small movable zone.

mm: introduce Reported pages In order to pave the way for free page reporting in virtualized environments we will need a way to get pages out of the free lists and identify those pages after they have been returned. To accomplish this, this patch adds the concept of a Reported Buddy, which is essentially meant to just be the Uptodate flag used in conjunction with the Buddy page type. To prevent the reported pages from leaking outside of the buddy lists I added a check to clear the PageReported bit in the del_page_from_free_list function. As a result any reported page that is split, merged, or allocated will have the flag cleared prior to the PageBuddy value being cleared. The process for reporting pages is fairly simple. Once we free a page that meets the minimum order for page reporting we will schedule a worker thread to start 2s or more in the future. That worker thread will begin working from the lowest supported page reporting order up to MAX_ORDER - 1 pulling unreported pages from the free list and storing them in the scatterlist. When processing each individual free list it is necessary for the worker thread to release the zone lock when it needs to stop and report the full scatterlist of pages. To reduce the work of the next iteration the worker thread will rotate the free list so that the first unreported page in the free list becomes the first entry in the list. It will then call a reporting function providing information on how many entries are in the scatterlist. Once the function completes it will return the pages to the free area from which they were allocated and start over pulling more pages from the free areas until there are no longer enough pages to report on to keep the worker busy, or we have processed as many pages as were contained in the free area when we started processing the list. The worker thread will work in a round-robin fashion making its way though each zone requesting reporting, and through each reportable free list within that zone. Once all free areas within the zone have been processed it will check to see if there have been any requests for reporting while it was processing. If so it will reschedule the worker thread to start up again in roughly 2s and exit.

mm: add function __putback_isolated_page There are cases where we would benefit from avoiding having to go through the allocation and free cycle to return an isolated page. Examples for this might include page poisoning in which we isolate a page and then put it back in the free list without ever having actually allocated it. This will enable us to also avoid notifiers for the future free page reporting which will need to avoid retriggering page reporting when returning pages that have been reported on.

mm: use zone and order instead of free area in free_list manipulators In order to enable the use of the zone from the list manipulator functions I will need access to the zone pointer. As it turns out most of the accessors were always just being directly passed &zone->free_area[order] anyway so it would make sense to just fold that into the function itself and pass the zone and order as arguments instead of the free area. In order to be able to reference the zone we need to move the declaration of the functions down so that we have the zone defined before we define the list manipulation functions. Since the functions are only used in the file mm/page_alloc.c we can just move them there to reduce noise in the header.

mm: adjust shuffle code to allow for future coalescing Patch series "mm / virtio: Provide support for free page reporting", v17. This series provides an asynchronous means of reporting free guest pages to a hypervisor so that the memory associated with those pages can be dropped and reused by other processes and/or guests on the host. Using this it is possible to avoid unnecessary I/O to disk and greatly improve performance in the case of memory overcommit on the host. When enabled we will be performing a scan of free memory every 2 seconds while pages of sufficiently high order are being freed. In each pass at least one sixteenth of each free list will be reported. By doing this we avoid racing against other threads that may be causing a high amount of memory churn. The lowest page order currently scanned when reporting pages is pageblock_order so that this feature will not interfere with the use of Transparent Huge Pages in the case of virtualization. Currently this is only in use by virtio-balloon however there is the hope that at some point in the future other hypervisors might be able to make use of it. In the virtio-balloon/QEMU implementation the hypervisor is currently using MADV_DONTNEED to indicate to the host kernel that the page is currently free. It will be zeroed and faulted back into the guest the next time the page is accessed. To track if a page is reported or not the Uptodate flag was repurposed and used as a Reported flag for Buddy pages. We walk though the free list isolating pages and adding them to the scatterlist until we either encounter the end of the list or have processed at least one sixteenth of the pages that were listed in nr_free prior to us starting. If we fill the scatterlist before we reach the end of the list we rotate the list so that the first unreported page we encounter is moved to the head of the list as that is where we will resume after we have freed the reported pages back into the tail of the list. Below are the results from various benchmarks. I primarily focused on two tests. The first is the will-it-scale/page_fault2 test, and the other is a modified version of will-it-scale/page_fault1 that was enabled to use THP. I did this as it allows for better visibility into different parts of the memory subsystem. The guest is running with 32G for RAM on one node of a E5-2630 v3. The host has had some features such as CPU turbo disabled in the BIOS.

These results include the deviation seen between the average value reported here versus the high and/or low value. I observed that during the test memory usage for the first three tests never dropped whereas with the patches fully enabled the VM would drop to using only a few GB of the host's memory when switching from memhog to page fault tests. Any of the overhead visible with this patch set enabled seems due to page faults caused by accessing the reported pages and the host zeroing the page before giving it back to the guest. This overhead is much more visible when using THP than with standard 4K pages. In addition page shuffling seemed to increase the amount of faults generated due to an increase in memory churn. The overehad is reduced when using MADV_FREE as we can avoid the extra zeroing of the pages when they are reintroduced to the host, as can be seen when the RFC is applied with shuffling enabled. The overall guest size is kept fairly small to only a few GB while the test is running. If the host memory were oversubscribed this patch set should result in a performance improvement as swapping memory in the host can be avoided. A brief history on the background of free page reporting can be found at: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/29f43d5796feed0dec8e8bb98b187d9dac03b900.camel@linux.intel.com/ This patch (of 9): Move the head/tail adding logic out of the shuffle code and into the __free_one_page function since ultimately that is where it is really needed anyway. By doing this we should be able to reduce the overhead and can consolidate all of the list addition bits in one spot.

mm/page_alloc.c: micro-optimisation Remove unnecessary branch Previously if branch condition was false, the assignment was not executed. The assignment can be safely executed even when the condition is false and it is not incorrect as it assigns the value of 'nodemask' to 'ac.nodemask' which already has the same value. So as the assignment can be executed unconditionally, the branch can be removed.

mm, pagealloc: micro-optimisation: save two branches on hot page allocation path This patch makes ALLOC_KSWAPD equal to __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM (cast to int). Thanks to that code like: if (gfp_mask & __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM) alloc_flags |= ALLOC_KSWAPD; can be changed to: alloc_flags |= (__force int) (gfp_mask &__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM); Thanks to this one branch less is generated in the assembly.

mm/page_alloc: increase default min_free_kbytes bound Currently, the vm.min_free_kbytes sysctl value is capped at a hardcoded 64M in init_per_zone_wmark_min (unless it is overridden by khugepaged initialization). This value has not been modified since 2005, and enterprise-grade systems now frequently have hundreds of GB of RAM and multiple 10, 40, or even 100 GB NICs. We have seen page allocation failures on heavily loaded systems related to NIC drivers. These issues were resolved by an increase to vm.min_free_kbytes. This patch increases the hardcoded value by a factor of 4 as a temporary solution. Further work to make the calculation of vm.min_free_kbytes more consistent throughout the kernel would be desirable. As an example of the inconsistency of the current method, this value is recalculated by init_per_zone_wmark_min() in the case of memory hotplug which will override the value set by set_recommended_min_free_kbytes() called during khugepaged initialization even if khugepaged remains enabled, however an on/off toggle of khugepaged will then recalculate and set the value via set_recommended_min_free_kbytes().

mm/gup: page->hpage_pinned_refcount: exact pin counts for huge pages For huge pages (and in fact, any compound page), the GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS scheme tends to overflow too easily, each tail page increments the head page->_refcount by GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS (1024). That limits the number of huge pages that can be pinned. This patch removes that limitation, by using an exact form of pin counting for compound pages of order > 1. The "order > 1" is required because this approach uses the 3rd struct page in the compound page, and order 1 compound pages only have two pages, so that won't work there. A new struct page field, hpage_pinned_refcount, has been added, replacing a padding field in the union (so no new space is used). This enhancement also has a useful side effect: huge pages and compound pages (of order > 1) do not suffer from the "potential false positives" problem that is discussed in the page_dma_pinned() comment block. That is because these compound pages have extra space for tracking things, so they get exact pin counts instead of overloading page->_refcount. Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst is updated accordingly.

revert "topology: add support for node_to_mem_node() to determine the fallback node" This reverts commit ad2c8144418c6a81cefe65379fd47bbe8344cef2. The function node_to_mem_node() was introduced by that commit for use in SLUB on systems with memoryless nodes, but it turned out to be unreliable on some architectures/configurations and a simpler solution exists than fixing it up. Thus commit 0715e6c516f1 ("mm, slub: prevent kmalloc_node crashes and memory leaks") removed the only user of node_to_mem_node() and we can revert the commit that introduced the function.

mm/memmap_init: update variable name in memmap_init_zone Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: Shrink zones before removing memory", v6. This series fixes the access of uninitialized memmaps when shrinking zones/nodes and when removing memory. Also, it contains all fixes for crashes that can be triggered when removing certain namespace using memunmap_pages() - ZONE_DEVICE, reported by Aneesh. We stop trying to shrink ZONE_DEVICE, as it's buggy, fixing it would be more involved (we don't have SECTION_IS_ONLINE as an indicator), and shrinking is only of limited use (set_zone_contiguous() cannot detect the ZONE_DEVICE as contiguous). We continue shrinking !ZONE_DEVICE zones, however, I reduced the amount of code to a minimum. Shrinking is especially necessary to keep zone->contiguous set where possible, especially, on memory unplug of DIMMs at zone boundaries. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zones are now properly shrunk when offlining memory blocks or when onlining failed. This allows to properly shrink zones on memory unplug even if the separate memory blocks of a DIMM were onlined to different zones or re-onlined to a different zone after offlining. Example: :/# cat /proc/zoneinfo Node 1, zone Movable spanned 0 present 0 managed 0 :/# echo "online_movable" > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory41/state :/# echo "online_movable" > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory43/state :/# cat /proc/zoneinfo Node 1, zone Movable spanned 98304 present 65536 managed 65536 :/# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory43/online :/# cat /proc/zoneinfo Node 1, zone Movable spanned 32768 present 32768 managed 32768 :/# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory41/online :/# cat /proc/zoneinfo Node 1, zone Movable spanned 0 present 0 managed 0 This patch (of 6): The third argument is actually number of pages. Change the variable name from size to nr_pages to indicate this better. No functional change in this patch.

mm: factor out next_present_section_nr() Let's move it to the header and use the shorter variant from mm/page_alloc.c (the original one will also check "__highest_present_section_nr + 1", which is not necessary). While at it, make the section_nr in next_pfn() const. In next_pfn(), we now return section_nr_to_pfn(-1) instead of -1 once we exceed __highest_present_section_nr, which doesn't make a difference in the caller as it is big enough (>= all sane end_pfn).

mm/page_alloc: fix and rework pfn handling in memmap_init_zone() Let's update the pfn manually whenever we continue the loop. This makes the code easier to read but also less error prone (and we can directly fix one issue). When overlap_memmap_init() returns true, pfn is updated to "memblock_region_memory_end_pfn(r)". So it already points at the *next* pfn to process. Incrementing the pfn another time is wrong, we might leave one uninitialized. I spotted this by inspecting the code, so I have no idea if this is relevant in practise (with kernelcore=mirror).

mm/page_alloc.c: initialize memmap of unavailable memory directly Let's make sure that all memory holes are actually marked PageReserved(), that page_to_pfn() produces reliable results, and that these pages are not detected as "mmap" pages due to the mapcount. E.g., booting a x86-64 QEMU guest with 4160 MB: [ 0.010585] Early memory node ranges [ 0.010586] node 0: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009efff] [ 0.010588] node 0: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000bffdefff] [ 0.010589] node 0: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000000143ffffff] max_pfn is 0x144000. Before this change: [root@localhost ~]# ./page-types -r -a 0x144000, flags page-count MB symbolic-flags long-symbolic-flags 0x0000000000000800 16384 64 ___________M_______________________________ mmap total 16384 64 After this change: [root@localhost ~]# ./page-types -r -a 0x144000, flags page-count MB symbolic-flags long-symbolic-flags 0x0000000100000000 16384 64 ___________________________r_______________ reserved total 16384 64 IOW, especially the unavailable physical memory ("memory hole") in the last section would not get properly marked PageReserved() and is indicated to be "mmap" memory. Drop the trace of that function from include/linux/mm.h - nobody else needs it, and rename it accordingly. Note: The fake zone/node might not be covered by the zone/node span. This is not an urgent issue (for now, we had the same node/zone due to the zeroing). We'll need a clean way to mark memory holes (e.g., using a page type PageHole() if possible or a fake ZONE_INVALID) and eventually stop marking these memory holes PageReserved().

mm/page_alloc.c: fix uninitialized memmaps on a partially populated last section Patch series "mm: fix max_pfn not falling on section boundary", v2. Playing with different memory sizes for a x86-64 guest, I discovered that some memmaps (highest section if max_mem does not fall on the section boundary) are marked as being valid and online, but contain garbage. We have to properly initialize these memmaps. Looking at /proc/kpageflags and friends, I found some more issues, partially related to this. This patch (of 3): If max_pfn is not aligned to a section boundary, we can easily run into BUGs. This can e.g., be triggered on x86-64 under QEMU by specifying a memory size that is not a multiple of 128MB (e.g., 4097MB, but also 4160MB). I was told that on real HW, we can easily have this scenario (esp., one of the main reasons sub-section hotadd of devmem was added). The issue is, that we have a valid memmap (pfn_valid()) for the whole section, and the whole section will be marked "online". pfn_to_online_page() will succeed, but the memmap contains garbage. E.g., doing a "./page-types -r -a 0x144001" when QEMU was started with "-m 4160M" - (see tools/vm/page-types.c): [ 200.476376] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffffffffffffe [ 200.477500] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode [ 200.478334] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page [ 200.479076] PGD 59614067 P4D 59614067 PUD 59616067 PMD 0 [ 200.479557] Oops: 0000 [#4] SMP NOPTI [ 200.479875] CPU: 0 PID: 603 Comm: page-types Tainted: G D W 5.5.0-rc1-next-20191209 #93 [ 200.480646] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.12.0-59-gc9ba5276e321-prebuilt.qemu4 [ 200.481648] RIP: 0010:stable_page_flags+0x4d/0x410 [ 200.482061] Code: f3 ff 41 89 c0 48 b8 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 45 84 c0 0f 85 cd 02 00 00 48 8b 53 08 48 8b 2b 48f [ 200.483644] RSP: 0018:ffffb139401cbe60 EFLAGS: 00010202 [ 200.484091] RAX: fffffffffffffffe RBX: fffffbeec5100040 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 200.484697] RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: ffffffff9535c7cd RDI: 0000000000000246 [ 200.485313] RBP: ffffffffffffffff R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 200.485917] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 0000000000144001 [ 200.486523] R13: 00007ffd6ba55f48 R14: 00007ffd6ba55f40 R15: ffffb139401cbf08 [ 200.487130] FS: 00007f68df717580(0000) GS:ffff9ec77fa00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 200.487804] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 200.488295] CR2: fffffffffffffffe CR3: 0000000135d48000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 [ 200.488897] Call Trace: [ 200.489115] kpageflags_read+0xe9/0x140 [ 200.489447] proc_reg_read+0x3c/0x60 [ 200.489755] vfs_read+0xc2/0x170 [ 200.490037] ksys_pread64+0x65/0xa0 [ 200.490352] do_syscall_64+0x5c/0xa0 [ 200.490665] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe But it can be triggered much easier via "cat /proc/kpageflags > /dev/null" after cold/hot plugging a DIMM to such a system: [root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/kpageflags > /dev/null [ 111.517275] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffffffffffffe [ 111.517907] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode [ 111.518333] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page [ 111.518771] PGD a240e067 P4D a240e067 PUD a2410067 PMD 0 This patch fixes that by at least zero-ing out that memmap (so e.g., page_to_pfn() will not crash). Commit 907ec5fca3dc ("mm: zero remaining unavailable struct pages") tried to fix a similar issue, but forgot to consider this special case. After this patch, there are still problems to solve. E.g., not all of these pages falling into a memory hole will actually get initialized later and set PageReserved - they are only zeroed out - but at least the immediate crashes are gone. A follow-up patch will take care of this.

mm/page_isolation: fix potential warning from user It makes sense to call the WARN_ON_ONCE(zone_idx(zone) == ZONE_MOVABLE) from start_isolate_page_range(), but should avoid triggering it from userspace, i.e, from is_mem_section_removable() because it could crash the system by a non-root user if warn_on_panic is set. While at it, simplify the code a bit by removing an unnecessary jump label.

mm/hotplug: silence a lockdep splat with printk() It is not that hard to trigger lockdep splats by calling printk from under zone->lock. Most of them are false positives caused by lock chains introduced early in the boot process and they do not cause any real problems (although most of the early boot lock dependencies could happen after boot as well). There are some console drivers which do allocate from the printk context as well and those should be fixed. In any case, false positives are not that trivial to workaround and it is far from optimal to lose lockdep functionality for something that is a non-issue. So change has_unmovable_pages() so that it no longer calls dump_page() itself - instead it returns a "struct page *" of the unmovable page back to the caller so that in the case of a has_unmovable_pages() failure, the caller can call dump_page() after releasing zone->lock. Also, make dump_page() is able to report a CMA page as well, so the reason string from has_unmovable_pages() can be removed. Even though has_unmovable_pages doesn't hold any reference to the returned page this should be reasonably safe for the purpose of reporting the page (dump_page) because it cannot be hotremoved in the context of memory unplug. The state of the page might change but that is the case even with the existing code as zone->lock only plays role for free pages. While at it, remove a similar but unnecessary debug-only printk() as well. A sample of one of those lockdep splats is, WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected ------------------------------------------------------ test.sh/8653 is trying to acquire lock: ffffffff865a4460 (console_owner){-.-.}, at: console_unlock+0x207/0x750 but task is already holding lock: ffff88883fff3c58 (&(&zone->lock)->rlock){-.-.}, at: __offline_isolated_pages+0x179/0x3e0 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #3 (&(&zone->lock)->rlock){-.-.}: __lock_acquire+0x5b3/0xb40 lock_acquire+0x126/0x280 _raw_spin_lock+0x2f/0x40 rmqueue_bulk.constprop.21+0xb6/0x1160 get_page_from_freelist+0x898/0x22c0 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x2f3/0x1cd0 alloc_pages_current+0x9c/0x110 allocate_slab+0x4c6/0x19c0 new_slab+0x46/0x70 ___slab_alloc+0x58b/0x960 __slab_alloc+0x43/0x70 __kmalloc+0x3ad/0x4b0 __tty_buffer_request_room+0x100/0x250 tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag+0x67/0x110 pty_write+0xa2/0xf0 n_tty_write+0x36b/0x7b0 tty_write+0x284/0x4c0 __vfs_write+0x50/0xa0 vfs_write+0x105/0x290 redirected_tty_write+0x6a/0xc0 do_iter_write+0x248/0x2a0 vfs_writev+0x106/0x1e0 do_writev+0xd4/0x180 __x64_sys_writev+0x45/0x50 do_syscall_64+0xcc/0x76c entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe -> #2 (&(&port->lock)->rlock){-.-.}: __lock_acquire+0x5b3/0xb40 lock_acquire+0x126/0x280 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x3a/0x50 tty_port_tty_get+0x20/0x60 tty_port_default_wakeup+0xf/0x30 tty_port_tty_wakeup+0x39/0x40 uart_write_wakeup+0x2a/0x40 serial8250_tx_chars+0x22e/0x440 serial8250_handle_irq.part.8+0x14a/0x170 serial8250_default_handle_irq+0x5c/0x90 serial8250_interrupt+0xa6/0x130 __handle_irq_event_percpu+0x78/0x4f0 handle_irq_event_percpu+0x70/0x100 handle_irq_event+0x5a/0x8b handle_edge_irq+0x117/0x370 do_IRQ+0x9e/0x1e0 ret_from_intr+0x0/0x2a cpuidle_enter_state+0x156/0x8e0 cpuidle_enter+0x41/0x70 call_cpuidle+0x5e/0x90 do_idle+0x333/0x370 cpu_startup_entry+0x1d/0x1f start_secondary+0x290/0x330 secondary_startup_64+0xb6/0xc0 -> #1 (&port_lock_key){-.-.}: __lock_acquire+0x5b3/0xb40 lock_acquire+0x126/0x280 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x3a/0x50 serial8250_console_write+0x3e4/0x450 univ8250_console_write+0x4b/0x60 console_unlock+0x501/0x750 vprintk_emit+0x10d/0x340 vprintk_default+0x1f/0x30 vprintk_func+0x44/0xd4 printk+0x9f/0xc5 -> #0 (console_owner){-.-.}: check_prev_add+0x107/0xea0 validate_chain+0x8fc/0x1200 __lock_acquire+0x5b3/0xb40 lock_acquire+0x126/0x280 console_unlock+0x269/0x750 vprintk_emit+0x10d/0x340 vprintk_default+0x1f/0x30 vprintk_func+0x44/0xd4 printk+0x9f/0xc5 __offline_isolated_pages.cold.52+0x2f/0x30a offline_isolated_pages_cb+0x17/0x30 walk_system_ram_range+0xda/0x160 __offline_pages+0x79c/0xa10 offline_pages+0x11/0x20 memory_subsys_offline+0x7e/0xc0 device_offline+0xd5/0x110 state_store+0xc6/0xe0 dev_attr_store+0x3f/0x60 sysfs_kf_write+0x89/0xb0 kernfs_fop_write+0x188/0x240 __vfs_write+0x50/0xa0 vfs_write+0x105/0x290 ksys_write+0xc6/0x160 __x64_sys_write+0x43/0x50 do_syscall_64+0xcc/0x76c entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe other info that might help us debug this: Chain exists of: console_owner --> &(&port->lock)->rlock --> &(&zone->lock)->rlock Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&(&zone->lock)->rlock);

mm/page_alloc: skip non present sections on zone initialization memmap_init_zone() can be called on the ranges with holes during the boot. It will skip any non-valid PFNs one-by-one. It works fine as long as holes are not too big. But huge holes in the memory map causes a problem. It takes over 20 seconds to walk 32TiB hole. x86-64 with 5-level paging allows for much larger holes in the memory map which would practically hang the system. Deferred struct page init doesn't help here. It only works on the present ranges. Skipping non-present sections would fix the issue.

mm, debug_pagealloc: don't rely on static keys too early Commit 96a2b03f281d ("mm, debug_pagelloc: use static keys to enable debugging") has introduced a static key to reduce overhead when debug_pagealloc is compiled in but not enabled. It relied on the assumption that jump_label_init() is called before parse_early_param() as in start_kernel(), so when the "debug_pagealloc=on" option is parsed, it is safe to enable the static key. However, it turns out multiple architectures call parse_early_param() earlier from their setup_arch(). x86 also calls jump_label_init() even earlier, so no issue was found while testing the commit, but same is not true for e.g. ppc64 and s390 where the kernel would not boot with debug_pagealloc=on as found by our QA. To fix this without tricky changes to init code of multiple architectures, this patch partially reverts the static key conversion from 96a2b03f281d. Init-time and non-fastpath calls (such as in arch code) of debug_pagealloc_enabled() will again test a simple bool variable. Fastpath mm code is converted to a new debug_pagealloc_enabled_static() variant that relies on the static key, which is enabled in a well-defined point in mm_init() where it's guaranteed that jump_label_init() has been called, regardless of architecture.

mm, thp: tweak reclaim/compaction effort of local-only and all-node allocations THP page faults now attempt a __GFP_THISNODE allocation first, which should only compact existing free memory, followed by another attempt that can allocate from any node using reclaim/compaction effort specified by global defrag setting and madvise. This patch makes the following changes to the scheme: - Before the patch, the first allocation relies on a check for pageblock order and __GFP_IO to prevent excessive reclaim. This however affects also the second attempt, which is not limited to single node. Instead of that, reuse the existing check for costly order __GFP_NORETRY allocations, and make sure the first THP attempt uses __GFP_NORETRY. As a side-effect, all costly order __GFP_NORETRY allocations will bail out if compaction needs reclaim, while previously they only bailed out when compaction was deferred due to previous failures. This should be still acceptable within the __GFP_NORETRY semantics. - Before the patch, the second allocation attempt (on all nodes) was passing __GFP_NORETRY. This is redundant as the check for pageblock order (discussed above) was stronger. It's also contrary to madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) which means some effort to allocate THP is requested. After this patch, the second attempt doesn't pass __GFP_THISNODE nor __GFP_NORETRY. To sum up, THP page faults now try the following attempts: 1. local node only THP allocation with no reclaim, just compaction. 2. for madvised VMA's or when synchronous compaction is enabled always - THP allocation from any node with effort determined by global defrag setting and VMA madvise 3. fallback to base pages on any node Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/08a3f4dd-c3ce-0009-86c5-9ee51aba8557@suse.cz Fixes: b39d0ee2632d ("mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed") Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: "Kirill A.

mm: clean up and clarify lruvec lookup procedure There is a per-memcg lruvec and a NUMA node lruvec. Which one is being used is somewhat confusing right now, and it's easy to make mistakes - especially when it comes to global reclaim. How it works: when memory cgroups are enabled, we always use the root_mem_cgroup's per-node lruvecs. When memory cgroups are not compiled in or disabled at runtime, we use pgdat->lruvec. Document that in a comment. Due to the way the reclaim code is generalized, all lookups use the mem_cgroup_lruvec() helper function, and nobody should have to find the right lruvec manually right now. But to avoid future mistakes, rename the pgdat->lruvec member to pgdat->__lruvec and delete the convenience wrapper that suggests it's a commonly accessed member. While in this area, swap the mem_cgroup_lruvec() argument order. The name suggests a memcg operation, yet it takes a pgdat first and a memcg second. I have to double take every time I call this. Fix that.

mm/page_alloc: add alloc_contig_pages() HugeTLB helper alloc_gigantic_page() implements fairly generic allocation method where it scans over various zones looking for a large contiguous pfn range before trying to allocate it with alloc_contig_range(). Other than deriving the requested order from 'struct hstate', there is nothing HugeTLB specific in there. This can be made available for general use to allocate contiguous memory which could not have been allocated through the buddy allocator. alloc_gigantic_page() has been split carving out actual allocation method which is then made available via new alloc_contig_pages() helper wrapped under CONFIG_CONTIG_ALLOC. All references to 'gigantic' have been replaced with more generic term 'contig'. Allocated pages here should be freed with free_contig_range() or by calling __free_page() on each allocated page.

mm/page_isolation.c: convert SKIP_HWPOISON to MEMORY_OFFLINE We have two types of users of page isolation: 1. Memory offlining: Offline memory so it can be unplugged. Memory won't be touched. 2. Memory allocation: Allocate memory (e.g., alloc_contig_range()) to become the owner of the memory and make use of it. For example, in case we want to offline memory, we can ignore (skip over) PageHWPoison() pages, as the memory won't get used. We can allow to offline memory. In contrast, we don't want to allow to allocate such memory. Let's generalize the approach so we can special case other types of pages we want to skip over in case we offline memory. While at it, also pass the same flags to test_pages_isolated().

Nothing can stop us from offlining memory at this point. In __offline_isolated_pages() we first set all affected memory sections offline (offline_mem_sections(pfn, end_pfn)), to mark the memmap as invalid (pfn_to_online_page() will no longer succeed), and then walk over all pages to pull the free pages from the free lists (to the isolated free lists, to be precise). Note that re-onlining a memory block will result in the whole memmap getting reinitialized, overwriting any old state. We already poision the memmap when offlining is complete to find any access to stale/uninitialized memmaps. So, setting the pages PageReserved() is not helpful. The memap is marked offline and all pageblocks are isolated. As soon as offline, the memmap is stale either way. This looks like a leftover from ancient times where we initialized the memmap when adding memory and not when onlining it (the pages were set PageReserved so re-onling would work as expected).

mm/page_alloc.c: ratelimit allocation failure warnings more aggressively While investigating a bug related to higher atomic allocation failures, we noticed the failure warnings positively drowning the console, and in our case trigger lockup warnings because of a serial console too slow to handle all that output. But even if we had a faster console, it's unclear what additional information the current level of repetition provides. Allocation failures happen for three reasons: The machine is OOM, the VM is failing to handle reasonable requests, or somebody is making unreasonable requests (and didn't acknowledge their opportunism with __GFP_NOWARN). Having the memory dump, a callstack, and the ratelimit stats on skipped failure warnings should provide enough information to let users/admins/developers know whether something is wrong and point them in the right direction for debugging, bpftracing etc. Limit allocation failure warnings to one spew every ten seconds.

mm, meminit: recalculate pcpu batch and high limits after init completes Deferred memory initialisation updates zone->managed_pages during the initialisation phase but before that finishes, the per-cpu page allocator (pcpu) calculates the number of pages allocated/freed in batches as well as the maximum number of pages allowed on a per-cpu list. As zone->managed_pages is not up to date yet, the pcpu initialisation calculates inappropriately low batch and high values. This increases zone lock contention quite severely in some cases with the degree of severity depending on how many CPUs share a local zone and the size of the zone. A private report indicated that kernel build times were excessive with extremely high system CPU usage. A perf profile indicated that a large chunk of time was lost on zone->lock contention. This patch recalculates the pcpu batch and high values after deferred initialisation completes for every populated zone in the system. It was tested on a 2-socket AMD EPYC 2 machine using a kernel compilation workload -- allmodconfig and all available CPUs. mmtests configuration: config-workload-kernbench-max Configuration was modified to build on a fresh XFS partition. kernbench 5.4.0-rc3 5.4.0-rc3 vanilla resetpcpu-v2 Amean user-256 13249.50 ( 0.00%) 16401.31 * -23.79%* Amean syst-256 14760.30 ( 0.00%) 4448.39 * 69.86%* Amean elsp-256 162.42 ( 0.00%) 119.13 * 26.65%* Stddev user-256 42.97 ( 0.00%) 19.15 ( 55.43%) Stddev syst-256 336.87 ( 0.00%) 6.71 ( 98.01%) Stddev elsp-256 2.46 ( 0.00%) 0.39 ( 84.03%) 5.4.0-rc3 5.4.0-rc3 vanilla resetpcpu-v2 Duration User 39766.24 49221.79 Duration System 44298.10 13361.67 Duration Elapsed 519.11 388.87 The patch reduces system CPU usage by 69.86% and total build time by 26.65%.

mm, hugetlb: allow hugepage allocations to reclaim as needed Commit b39d0ee2632d ("mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed") has chnaged the allocator to bail out from the allocator early to prevent from a potentially excessive memory reclaim. __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL is designed to retry the allocation, reclaim and compaction loop as long as there is a reasonable chance to make forward progress. Neither COMPACT_SKIPPED nor COMPACT_DEFERRED at the INIT_COMPACT_PRIORITY compaction attempt gives this feedback. The most obvious affected subsystem is hugetlbfs which allocates huge pages based on an admin request (or via admin configured overcommit). I have done a simple test which tries to allocate half of the memory for hugetlb pages while the memory is full of a clean page cache. This is not an unusual situation because we try to cache as much of the memory as possible and sysctl/sysfs interface to allocate huge pages is there for flexibility to allocate hugetlb pages at any time. System has 1GB of RAM and we are requesting 515MB worth of hugetlb pages after the memory is prefilled by a clean page cache: root@test1:~# cat hugetlb_test.sh set -x echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory dd if=/mnt/data/file-1G of=/dev/null bs=$((4<<10)) TS=$(date +%s) echo 256 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages The results for 2 consecutive runs on clean 5.3 root@test1:~# sh hugetlb_test.sh + echo 0 + echo 3 + echo 1 + dd if=/mnt/data/file-1G of=/dev/null bs=4096 262144+0 records in 262144+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 21.0694 s, 51.0 MB/s + date +%s + TS=1569905284 + echo 256 + cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages 256 root@test1:~# sh hugetlb_test.sh + echo 0 + echo 3 + echo 1 + dd if=/mnt/data/file-1G of=/dev/null bs=4096 262144+0 records in 262144+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 21.7548 s, 49.4 MB/s + date +%s + TS=1569905311 + echo 256 + cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages 256 Now with b39d0ee2632d applied root@test1:~# sh hugetlb_test.sh + echo 0 + echo 3 + echo 1 + dd if=/mnt/data/file-1G of=/dev/null bs=4096 262144+0 records in 262144+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 20.1815 s, 53.2 MB/s + date +%s + TS=1569905516 + echo 256 + cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages 11 root@test1:~# sh hugetlb_test.sh + echo 0 + echo 3 + echo 1 + dd if=/mnt/data/file-1G of=/dev/null bs=4096 262144+0 records in 262144+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 21.9485 s, 48.9 MB/s + date +%s + TS=1569905541 + echo 256 + cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages 12 The success rate went down by factor of 20! Although hugetlb allocation requests might fail and it is reasonable to expect them to under extremely fragmented memory or when the memory is under a heavy pressure but the above situation is not that case. Fix the regression by reverting back to the previous behavior for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL requests and disable the beail out heuristic for those requests. Mike said: : hugetlbfs allocations are commonly done via sysctl/sysfs shortly after : boot where this may not be as much of an issue. However, I am aware of at : least three use cases where allocations are made after the system has been : up and running for quite some time: : : - DB reconfiguration. If sysctl/sysfs fails to get required number of : huge pages, system is rebooted to perform allocation after boot. : : - VM provisioning. If unable get required number of huge pages, fall : back to base pages. : : - An application that does not preallocate pool, but rather allocates : pages at fault time for optimal NUMA locality. : : In all cases, I would expect b39d0ee2632d to cause regressions and : noticable behavior changes. : : My quick/limited testing in : https://lkml.kernel.org/r/3468b605-a3a9-6978-9699-57c52a90bd7e@oracle.com : was insufficient. It was also mentioned that if something like : b39d0ee2632d went forward, I would like exemptions for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL : requests as in this patch.

mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed Memory compaction has a couple significant drawbacks as the allocation order increases, specifically: - isolate_freepages() is responsible for finding free pages to use as migration targets and is implemented as a linear scan of memory starting at the end of a zone, - failing order-0 watermark checks in memory compaction does not account for how far below the watermarks the zone actually is: to enable migration, there must be *some* free memory available. Per the above, watermarks are not always suffficient if isolate_freepages() cannot find the free memory but it could require hundreds of MBs of reclaim to even reach this threshold (read: potentially very expensive reclaim with no indication compaction can be successful), and - if compaction at this order has failed recently so that it does not even run as a result of deferred compaction, looping through reclaim can often be pointless. For hugepage allocations, these are quite substantial drawbacks because these are very high order allocations (order-9 on x86) and falling back to doing reclaim can potentially be *very* expensive without any indication that compaction would even be successful. Reclaim itself is unlikely to free entire pageblocks and certainly no reliance should be put on it to do so in isolation (recall lumpy reclaim). This means we should avoid reclaim and simply fail hugepage allocation if compaction is deferred. It is also not helpful to thrash a zone by doing excessive reclaim if compaction may not be able to access that memory. If order-0 watermarks fail and the allocation order is sufficiently large, it is likely better to fail the allocation rather than thrashing the zone.

mm: move mem_cgroup_uncharge out of __page_cache_release() A later patch makes THP deferred split shrinker memcg aware, but it needs page->mem_cgroup information in THP destructor, which is called after mem_cgroup_uncharge() now. So move mem_cgroup_uncharge() from __page_cache_release() to compound page destructor, which is called by both THP and other compound pages except HugeTLB. And call it in __put_single_page() for single order page.

mm: thp: extract split_queue_* into a struct Patch series "Make deferred split shrinker memcg aware", v6. Currently THP deferred split shrinker is not memcg aware, this may cause premature OOM with some configuration. For example the below test would run into premature OOM easily: $ cgcreate -g memory:thp $ echo 4G > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/thp/memory/limit_in_bytes $ cgexec -g memory:thp transhuge-stress 4000 transhuge-stress comes from kernel selftest. It is easy to hit OOM, but there are still a lot THP on the deferred split queue, memcg direct reclaim can't touch them since the deferred split shrinker is not memcg aware. Convert deferred split shrinker memcg aware by introducing per memcg deferred split queue. The THP should be on either per node or per memcg deferred split queue if it belongs to a memcg. When the page is immigrated to the other memcg, it will be immigrated to the target memcg's deferred split queue too. Reuse the second tail page's deferred_list for per memcg list since the same THP can't be on multiple deferred split queues. Make deferred split shrinker not depend on memcg kmem since it is not slab. It doesn't make sense to not shrink THP even though memcg kmem is disabled. With the above change the test demonstrated above doesn't trigger OOM even though with cgroup.memory=nokmem. This patch (of 4): Put split_queue, split_queue_lock and split_queue_len into a struct in order to reduce code duplication when we convert deferred_split to memcg aware in the later patches.

mm, compaction: raise compaction priority after it withdrawns Mike Kravetz reports that "hugetlb allocations could stall for minutes or hours when should_compact_retry() would return true more often then it should. Specifically, this was in the case where compact_result was COMPACT_DEFERRED and COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED and no progress was being made." The problem is that the compaction_withdrawn() test in should_compact_retry() includes compaction outcomes that are only possible on low compaction priority, and results in a retry without increasing the priority. This may result in furter reclaim, and more incomplete compaction attempts. With this patch, compaction priority is raised when possible, or should_compact_retry() returns false. The COMPACT_SKIPPED result doesn't really fit together with the other outcomes in compaction_withdrawn(), as that's a result caused by insufficient order-0 pages, not due to low compaction priority. With this patch, it is moved to a new compaction_needs_reclaim() function, and for that outcome we keep the current logic of retrying if it looks like reclaim will be able to help.

sched/topology: Improve load balancing on AMD EPYC systems SD_BALANCE_{FORK,EXEC} and SD_WAKE_AFFINE are stripped in sd_init() for any sched domains with a NUMA distance greater than 2 hops (RECLAIM_DISTANCE). The idea being that it's expensive to balance across domains that far apart. However, as is rather unfortunately explained in: commit 32e45ff43eaf ("mm: increase RECLAIM_DISTANCE to 30") the value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE is based on node distance tables from 2011-era hardware. Current AMD EPYC machines have the following NUMA node distances: node distances: node 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0: 10 16 16 16 32 32 32 32 1: 16 10 16 16 32 32 32 32 2: 16 16 10 16 32 32 32 32 3: 16 16 16 10 32 32 32 32 4: 32 32 32 32 10 16 16 16 5: 32 32 32 32 16 10 16 16 6: 32 32 32 32 16 16 10 16 7: 32 32 32 32 16 16 16 10 where 2 hops is 32. The result is that the scheduler fails to load balance properly across NUMA nodes on different sockets -- 2 hops apart. For example, pinning 16 busy threads to NUMA nodes 0 (CPUs 0-7) and 4 (CPUs 32-39) like so, $ numactl -C 0-7,32-39 ./spinner 16 causes all threads to fork and remain on node 0 until the active balancer kicks in after a few seconds and forcibly moves some threads to node 4. Override node_reclaim_distance for AMD Zen.

mm, page_alloc: move_freepages should not examine struct page of reserved memory After commit 907ec5fca3dc ("mm: zero remaining unavailable struct pages"), struct page of reserved memory is zeroed. This causes page->flags to be 0 and fixes issues related to reading /proc/kpageflags, for example, of reserved memory. The VM_BUG_ON() in move_freepages_block(), however, assumes that page_zone() is meaningful even for reserved memory. That assumption is no longer true after the aforementioned commit. There's no reason why move_freepages_block() should be testing the legitimacy of page_zone() for reserved memory; its scope is limited only to pages on the zone's freelist. Note that pfn_valid() can be true for reserved memory: there is a backing struct page. The check for page_to_nid(page) is also buggy but reserved memory normally only appears on node 0 so the zeroing doesn't affect this. Move the debug checks to after verifying PageBuddy is true. This isolates the scope of the checks to only be for buddy pages which are on the zone's freelist which move_freepages_block() is operating on. In this case, an incorrect node or zone is a bug worthy of being warned about (and the examination of struct page is acceptable bcause this memory is not reserved). Why does move_freepages_block() gets called on reserved memory? It's simply math after finding a valid free page from the per-zone free area to use as fallback. We find the beginning and end of the pageblock of the valid page and that can bring us into memory that was reserved per the e820. pfn_valid() is still true (it's backed by a struct page), but since it's zero'd we shouldn't make any inferences here about comparing its node or zone. The current node check just happens to succeed most of the time by luck because reserved memory typically appears on node 0. The fix here is to validate that we actually have buddy pages before testing if there's any type of zone or node strangeness going on. We noticed it almost immediately after bringing 907ec5fca3dc in on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM builds. It depends on finding specific free pages in the per-zone free area where the math in move_freepages() will bring the start or end pfn into reserved memory and wanting to claim that entire pageblock as a new migratetype. So the path will be rare, require CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, and require fallback to a different migratetype. Some struct pages were already zeroed from reserve pages before 907ec5fca3c so it theoretically could trigger before this commit. I think it's rare enough under a config option that most people don't run that others may not have noticed. I wouldn't argue against a stable tag and the backport should be easy enough, but probably wouldn't single out a commit that this is fixing. Mel said: : The overhead of the debugging check is higher with this patch although : it'll only affect debug builds and the path is not particularly hot. : If this was a concern, I think it would be reasonable to simply remove : the debugging check as the zone boundaries are checked in : move_freepages_block and we never expect a zone/node to be smaller than : a pageblock and stuck in the middle of another zone.

mm/sparsemem: support sub-section hotplug The libnvdimm sub-system has suffered a series of hacks and broken workarounds for the memory-hotplug implementation's awkward section-aligned (128MB) granularity. For example the following backtrace is emitted when attempting arch_add_memory() with physical address ranges that intersect 'System RAM' (RAM) with 'Persistent Memory' (PMEM) within a given section: # cat /proc/iomem | grep -A1 -B1 Persistent\ Memory 100000000-1ffffffff : System RAM 200000000-303ffffff : Persistent Memory (legacy) 304000000-43fffffff : System RAM 440000000-23ffffffff : Persistent Memory 2400000000-43bfffffff : Persistent Memory 2400000000-43bfffffff : namespace2.0 WARNING: CPU: 38 PID: 928 at arch/x86/mm/init_64.c:850 add_pages+0x5c/0x60 [..] RIP: 0010:add_pages+0x5c/0x60 [..] Call Trace: devm_memremap_pages+0x460/0x6e0 pmem_attach_disk+0x29e/0x680 [nd_pmem] ? nd_dax_probe+0xfc/0x120 [libnvdimm] nvdimm_bus_probe+0x66/0x160 [libnvdimm] It was discovered that the problem goes beyond RAM vs PMEM collisions as some platform produce PMEM vs PMEM collisions within a given section. The libnvdimm workaround for that case revealed that the libnvdimm section-alignment-padding implementation has been broken for a long while. A fix for that long-standing breakage introduces as many problems as it solves as it would require a backward-incompatible change to the namespace metadata interpretation. Instead of that dubious route [1], address the root problem in the memory-hotplug implementation. Note that EEXIST is no longer treated as success as that is how sparse_add_section() reports subsection collisions, it was also obviated by recent changes to perform the request_region() for 'System RAM' before arch_add_memory() in the add_memory() sequence.

mm/sparsemem: add helpers track active portions of a section at boot Prepare for hot{plug,remove} of sub-ranges of a section by tracking a sub-section active bitmask, each bit representing a PMD_SIZE span of the architecture's memory hotplug section size. The implications of a partially populated section is that pfn_valid() needs to go beyond a valid_section() check and either determine that the section is an "early section", or read the sub-section active ranges from the bitmask. The expectation is that the bitmask (subsection_map) fits in the same cacheline as the valid_section() / early_section() data, so the incremental performance overhead to pfn_valid() should be negligible. The rationale for using early_section() to short-ciruit the subsection_map check is that there are legacy code paths that use pfn_valid() at section granularity before validating the pfn against pgdat data. So, the early_section() check allows those traditional assumptions to persist while also permitting subsection_map to tell the truth for purposes of populating the unused portions of early sections with PMEM and other ZONE_DEVICE mappings.

mm/sparsemem: introduce struct mem_section_usage Patch series "mm: Sub-section memory hotplug support", v10. The memory hotplug section is an arbitrary / convenient unit for memory hotplug. 'Section-size' units have bled into the user interface ('memblock' sysfs) and can not be changed without breaking existing userspace. The section-size constraint, while mostly benign for typical memory hotplug, has and continues to wreak havoc with 'device-memory' use cases, persistent memory (pmem) in particular. Recall that pmem uses devm_memremap_pages(), and subsequently arch_add_memory(), to allocate a 'struct page' memmap for pmem. However, it does not use the 'bottom half' of memory hotplug, i.e. never marks pmem pages online and never exposes the userspace memblock interface for pmem. This leaves an opening to redress the section-size constraint. To date, the libnvdimm subsystem has attempted to inject padding to satisfy the internal constraints of arch_add_memory(). Beyond complicating the code, leading to bugs [2], wasting memory, and limiting configuration flexibility, the padding hack is broken when the platform changes this physical memory alignment of pmem from one boot to the next. Device failure (intermittent or permanent) and physical reconfiguration are events that can cause the platform firmware to change the physical placement of pmem on a subsequent boot, and device failure is an everyday event in a data-center. It turns out that sections are only a hard requirement of the user-facing interface for memory hotplug and with a bit more infrastructure sub-section arch_add_memory() support can be added for kernel internal usages like devm_memremap_pages(). Here is an analysis of the current design assumptions in the current code and how they are addressed in the new implementation: Current design assumptions: - Sections that describe boot memory (early sections) are never unplugged / removed. - pfn_valid(), in the CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=y, case devolves to a valid_section() check - __add_pages() and helper routines assume all operations occur in PAGES_PER_SECTION units. - The memblock sysfs interface only comprehends full sections New design assumptions: - Sections are instrumented with a sub-section bitmask to track (on x86) individual 2MB sub-divisions of a 128MB section. - Partially populated early sections can be extended with additional sub-sections, and those sub-sections can be removed with arch_remove_memory(). With this in place we no longer lose usable memory capacity to padding. - pfn_valid() is updated to look deeper than valid_section() to also check the active-sub-section mask. This indication is in the same cacheline as the valid_section() so the performance impact is expected to be negligible. So far the lkp robot has not reported any regressions. - Outside of the core vmemmap population routines which are replaced, other helper routines like shrink_{zone,pgdat}_span() are updated to handle the smaller granularity. Core memory hotplug routines that deal with online memory are not touched. - The existing memblock sysfs user api guarantees / assumptions are not touched since this capability is limited to !online !memblock-sysfs-accessible sections. Meanwhile the issue reports continue to roll in from users that do not understand when and how the 128MB constraint will bite them. The current implementation relied on being able to support at least one misaligned namespace, but that immediately falls over on any moderately complex namespace creation attempt. Beyond the initial problem of 'System RAM' colliding with pmem, and the unsolvable problem of physical alignment changes, Linux is now being exposed to platforms that collide pmem ranges with other pmem ranges by default [3]. In short, devm_memremap_pages() has pushed the venerable section-size constraint past the breaking point, and the simplicity of section-aligned arch_add_memory() is no longer tenable. These patches are exposed to the kbuild robot on a subsection-v10 branch [4], and a preview of the unit test for this functionality is available on the 'subsection-pending' branch of ndctl [5]. [2]: https://lore.kernel.org/r/155000671719.348031.2347363160141119237.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.amr.corp.intel.com [3]: https://github.com/pmem/ndctl/issues/76 [4]: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/nvdimm.git/log/?h=subsection-v10 [5]: https://github.com/pmem/ndctl/commit/7c59b4867e1c This patch (of 13): Towards enabling memory hotplug to track partial population of a section, introduce 'struct mem_section_usage'. A pointer to a 'struct mem_section_usage' instance replaces the existing pointer to a 'pageblock_flags' bitmap. Effectively it adds one more 'unsigned long' beyond the 'pageblock_flags' (usemap) allocation to house a new 'subsection_map' bitmap. The new bitmap enables the memory hot{plug,remove} implementation to act on incremental sub-divisions of a section. SUBSECTION_SHIFT is defined as global constant instead of per-architecture value like SECTION_SIZE_BITS in order to allow cross-arch compatibility of subsection users. Specifically a common subsection size allows for the possibility that persistent memory namespace configurations be made compatible across architectures. The primary motivation for this functionality is to support platforms that mix "System RAM" and "Persistent Memory" within a single section, or multiple PMEM ranges with different mapping lifetimes within a single section. The section restriction for hotplug has caused an ongoing saga of hacks and bugs for devm_memremap_pages() users. Beyond the fixups to teach existing paths how to retrieve the 'usemap' from a section, and updates to usemap allocation path, there are no expected behavior changes.

mm/vmscan.c: add a new member reclaim_state in struct shrink_control Patch series "mm/vmscan: calculate reclaimed slab in all reclaim paths". This patchset is to fix the issues in doing shrink slab. There're six different reclaim paths by now, - kswapd reclaim path - node reclaim path - hibernate preallocate memory reclaim path - direct reclaim path - memcg reclaim path - memcg softlimit reclaim path The slab caches reclaimed in these paths are only calculated in the above three paths. The issues are detailed explained in patch #2. We should calculate the reclaimed slab caches in every reclaim path. In order to do it, the struct reclaim_state is placed into the struct shrink_control. In node reclaim path, there'is another issue about shrinking slab, which is adressed in "mm/vmscan: shrink slab in node reclaim" (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/1559874946-22960-1-git-send-email-laoar.shao@gmail.com/). This patch (of 2): The struct reclaim_state is used to record how many slab caches are reclaimed in one reclaim path. The struct shrink_control is used to control one reclaim path. So we'd better put reclaim_state into shrink_control.

mm: security: introduce init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 boot options Patch series "add init_on_alloc/init_on_free boot options", v10. Provide init_on_alloc and init_on_free boot options. These are aimed at preventing possible information leaks and making the control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic. Enabling either of the options guarantees that the memory returned by the page allocator and SL[AU]B is initialized with zeroes. SLOB allocator isn't supported at the moment, as its emulation of kmem caches complicates handling of SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU caches correctly. Enabling init_on_free also guarantees that pages and heap objects are initialized right after they're freed, so it won't be possible to access stale data by using a dangling pointer. As suggested by Michal Hocko, right now we don't let the heap users to disable initialization for certain allocations. There's not enough evidence that doing so can speed up real-life cases, and introducing ways to opt-out may result in things going out of control. This patch (of 2): The new options are needed to prevent possible information leaks and make control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic. This is expected to be on-by-default on Android and Chrome OS. And it gives the opportunity for anyone else to use it under distros too via the boot args. (The init_on_free feature is regularly requested by folks where memory forensics is included in their threat models.) init_on_alloc=1 makes the kernel initialize newly allocated pages and heap objects with zeroes. Initialization is done at allocation time at the places where checks for __GFP_ZERO are performed. init_on_free=1 makes the kernel initialize freed pages and heap objects with zeroes upon their deletion. This helps to ensure sensitive data doesn't leak via use-after-free accesses. Both init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 guarantee that the allocator returns zeroed memory. The two exceptions are slab caches with constructors and SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU flag. Those are never zero-initialized to preserve their semantics. Both init_on_alloc and init_on_free default to zero, but those defaults can be overridden with CONFIG_INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON and CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON. If either SLUB poisoning or page poisoning is enabled, those options take precedence over init_on_alloc and init_on_free: initialization is only applied to unpoisoned allocations. Slowdown for the new features compared to init_on_free=0, init_on_alloc=0: hackbench, init_on_free=1: +7.62% sys time (st.err 0.74%) hackbench, init_on_alloc=1: +7.75% sys time (st.err 2.14%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_free=1: +8.38% wall time (st.err 0.39%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_free=1: +24.42% sys time (st.err 0.52%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_alloc=1: -0.13% wall time (st.err 0.42%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_alloc=1: +0.57% sys time (st.err 0.40%) The slowdown for init_on_free=0, init_on_alloc=0 compared to the baseline is within the standard error. The new features are also going to pave the way for hardware memory tagging (e.g. arm64's MTE), which will require both on_alloc and on_free hooks to set the tags for heap objects. With MTE, tagging will have the same cost as memory initialization. Although init_on_free is rather costly, there are paranoid use-cases where in-memory data lifetime is desired to be minimized. There are various arguments for/against the realism of the associated threat models, but given that we'll need the infrastructure for MTE anyway, and there are people who want wipe-on-free behavior no matter what the performance cost, it seems reasonable to include it in this series.

mm/large system hash: clear hashdist when only one node with memory is booted CONFIG_NUMA on 64-bit CPUs currently enables hashdist unconditionally even when booting on single node machines. This causes the large system hashes to be allocated with vmalloc, and mapped with small pages. This change clears hashdist if only one node has come up with memory. This results in the important large inode and dentry hashes using memblock allocations. All others are within 4MB size up to about 128GB of RAM, which allows them to be allocated from the linear map on most non-NUMA images. Other big hashes like futex and TCP should eventually be moved over to the same style of allocation as those vfs caches that use HASH_EARLY if !hashdist, so they don't exceed MAX_ORDER on very large non-NUMA images. This brings dTLB misses for linux kernel tree `git diff` from ~45,000 to ~8,000 on a Kaby Lake KVM guest with 8MB dentry hash and mitigations=off (performance is in the noise, under 1% difference, page tables are likely to be well cached for this workload).

mm/large system hash: use vmalloc for size > MAX_ORDER when !hashdist The kernel currently clamps large system hashes to MAX_ORDER when hashdist is not set, which is rather arbitrary. vmalloc space is limited on 32-bit machines, but this shouldn't result in much more used because of small physical memory limiting system hash sizes. Include "vmalloc" or "linear" in the kernel log message.

mm, debug_pagealloc: use a page type instead of page_ext flag When debug_pagealloc is enabled, we currently allocate the page_ext array to mark guard pages with the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_GUARD flag. Now that we have the page_type field in struct page, we can use that instead, as guard pages are neither PageSlab nor mapped to userspace. This reduces memory overhead when debug_pagealloc is enabled and there are no other features requiring the page_ext array.

mm, page_alloc: more extensive free page checking with debug_pagealloc The page allocator checks struct pages for expected state (mapcount, flags etc) as pages are being allocated (check_new_page()) and freed (free_pages_check()) to provide some defense against errors in page allocator users. Prior commits 479f854a207c ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP") and 4db7548ccbd9 ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of freed pages until a PCP drain") this has happened for order-0 pages as they were allocated from or freed to the per-cpu caches (pcplists). Since those are fast paths, the checks are now performed only when pages are moved between pcplists and global free lists. This however lowers the chances of catching errors soon enough. In order to increase the chances of the checks to catch errors, the kernel has to be rebuilt with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, which also enables multiple other internal debug checks (VM_BUG_ON() etc), which is suboptimal when the goal is to catch errors in mm users, not in mm code itself. To catch some wrong users of the page allocator we have CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, which is designed to have virtually no overhead unless enabled at boot time. Memory corruptions when writing to freed pages have often the same underlying errors (use-after-free, double free) as corrupting the corresponding struct pages, so this existing debugging functionality is a good fit to extend by also perform struct page checks at least as often as if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM was enabled. Specifically, after this patch, when debug_pagealloc is enabled on boot, and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM disabled, pages are checked when allocated from or freed to the pcplists *in addition* to being moved between pcplists and free lists. When both debug_pagealloc and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM are enabled, pages are checked when being moved between pcplists and free lists *in addition* to when allocated from or freed to the pcplists. When debug_pagealloc is not enabled on boot, the overhead in fast paths should be virtually none thanks to the use of static key.

mm, debug_pagelloc: use static keys to enable debugging Patch series "debug_pagealloc improvements". I have been recently debugging some pcplist corruptions, where it would be useful to perform struct page checks immediately as pages are allocated from and freed to pcplists, which is now only possible by rebuilding the kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM (details in Patch 2 changelog). To make this kind of debugging simpler in future on a distro kernel, I have improved CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC so that it has even smaller overhead when not enabled at boot time (Patch 1) and also when enabled (Patch 3), and extended it to perform the struct page checks more often when enabled (Patch 2). Now it can be configured in when building a distro kernel without extra overhead, and debugging page use after free or double free can be enabled simply by rebooting with debug_pagealloc=on. This patch (of 3): CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC has been redesigned by 031bc5743f15 ("mm/debug-pagealloc: make debug-pagealloc boottime configurable") to allow being always enabled in a distro kernel, but only perform its expensive functionality when booted with debug_pagelloc=on. We can further reduce the overhead when not boot-enabled (including page allocator fast paths) using static keys. This patch introduces one for debug_pagealloc core functionality, and another for the optional guard page functionality (enabled by booting with debug_guardpage_minorder=X).

Currently, totalram_pages is the static inline function from the include/linux/mm.h However, the function is also marked as EXPORT_SYMBOL, which is at best an odd combination. Because there is no point for the static inline function from a public header to be exported, this commit removes the EXPORT_SYMBOL() marking. It will be still possible to use the function in modules because all the symbols it depends on are exported.

mm/page_alloc.c: fix regression with deferred struct page init Commit 0e56acae4b4d ("mm: initialize MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES at a time instead of doing larger sections") is causing a regression on some systems when the kernel is booted as Xen dom0. The system will just hang in early boot. Reason is an endless loop in get_page_from_freelist() in case the first zone looked at has no free memory. deferred_grow_zone() is always returning true due to the following code snipplet: /* If the zone is empty somebody else may have cleared out the zone */ if (!deferred_init_mem_pfn_range_in_zone(&i, zone, &spfn, &epfn, first_deferred_pfn)) { pgdat->first_deferred_pfn = ULONG_MAX; pgdat_resize_unlock(pgdat, &flags); return true; } This in turn results in the loop as get_page_from_freelist() is assuming forward progress can be made by doing some more struct page initialization.

While the mm tries to defragment physical pages into huge pages this can tend to make the page allocator more predictable over time. Inject the front-back randomness to preserve the initial randomness established by shuffle_free_memory() when the kernel was booted.

mm: shuffle initial free memory to improve memory-side-cache utilization Patch series "mm: Randomize free memory", v10. This patch (of 3): Randomization of the page allocator improves the average utilization of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache. Memory side caching is a platform capability that Linux has been previously exposed to in HPC (high-performance computing) environments on specialty platforms. In that instance it was a smaller pool of high-bandwidth-memory relative to higher-capacity / lower-bandwidth DRAM. Now, this capability is going to be found on general purpose server platforms where DRAM is a cache in front of higher latency persistent memory [1]. Robert offered an explanation of the state of the art of Linux interactions with memory-side-caches [2], and I copy it here: It's been a problem in the HPC space: http://www.nersc.gov/research-and-development/knl-cache-mode-performance-coe/ A kernel module called zonesort is available to try to help: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/xeon-phi-software and this abandoned patch series proposed that for the kernel: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170823100205.17311-1-lukasz.daniluk@intel.com Dan's patch series doesn't attempt to ensure buffers won't conflict, but also reduces the chance that the buffers will. This will make performance more consistent, albeit slower than "optimal" (which is near impossible to attain in a general-purpose kernel). That's better than forcing users to deploy remedies like: "To eliminate this gradual degradation, we have added a Stream measurement to the Node Health Check that follows each job; nodes are rebooted whenever their measured memory bandwidth falls below 300 GB/s." A replacement for zonesort was merged upstream in commit cc9aec03e58f ("x86/numa_emulation: Introduce uniform split capability"). With this numa_emulation capability, memory can be split into cache sized ("near-memory" sized) numa nodes. A bind operation to such a node, and disabling workloads on other nodes, enables full cache performance. However, once the workload exceeds the cache size then cache conflicts are unavoidable. While HPC environments might be able to tolerate time-scheduling of cache sized workloads, for general purpose server platforms, the oversubscribed cache case will be the common case. The worst case scenario is that a server system owner benchmarks a workload at boot with an un-contended cache only to see that performance degrade over time, even below the average cache performance due to excessive conflicts. Randomization clips the peaks and fills in the valleys of cache utilization to yield steady average performance. Here are some performance impact details of the patches: 1/ An Intel internal synthetic memory bandwidth measurement tool, saw a 3X speedup in a contrived case that tries to force cache conflicts. The contrived cased used the numa_emulation capability to force an instance of the benchmark to be run in two of the near-memory sized numa nodes. If both instances were placed on the same emulated they would fit and cause zero conflicts. While on separate emulated nodes without randomization they underutilized the cache and conflicted unnecessarily due to the in-order allocation per node. 2/ A well known Java server application benchmark was run with a heap size that exceeded cache size by 3X. The cache conflict rate was 8% for the first run and degraded to 21% after page allocator aging. With randomization enabled the rate levelled out at 11%. 3/ A MongoDB workload did not observe measurable difference in cache-conflict rates, but the overall throughput dropped by 7% with randomization in one case. 4/ Mel Gorman ran his suite of performance workloads with randomization enabled on platforms without a memory-side-cache and saw a mix of some improvements and some losses [3]. While there is potentially significant improvement for applications that depend on low latency access across a wide working-set, the performance may be negligible to negative for other workloads. For this reason the shuffle capability defaults to off unless a direct-mapped memory-side-cache is detected. Even then, the page_alloc.shuffle=0 parameter can be specified to disable the randomization on those systems. Outside of memory-side-cache utilization concerns there is potentially security benefit from randomization. Some data exfiltration and return-oriented-programming attacks rely on the ability to infer the location of sensitive data objects. The kernel page allocator, especially early in system boot, has predictable first-in-first out behavior for physical pages. Pages are freed in physical address order when first onlined. Quoting Kees: "While we already have a base-address randomization (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY), attacks against the same hardware and memory layouts would certainly be using the predictability of allocation ordering (i.e. for attacks where the base address isn't important: only the relative positions between allocated memory). This is common in lots of heap-style attacks. They try to gain control over ordering by spraying allocations, etc. I'd really like to see this because it gives us something similar to CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM but for the page allocator." While SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM reduces the predictability of some local slab caches it leaves vast bulk of memory to be predictably in order allocated. However, it should be noted, the concrete security benefits are hard to quantify, and no known CVE is mitigated by this randomization. Introduce shuffle_free_memory(), and its helper shuffle_zone(), to perform a Fisher-Yates shuffle of the page allocator 'free_area' lists when they are initially populated with free memory at boot and at hotplug time. Do this based on either the presence of a page_alloc.shuffle=Y command line parameter, or autodetection of a memory-side-cache (to be added in a follow-on patch). The shuffling is done in terms of CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ORDER sized free pages where the default CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ORDER is MAX_ORDER-1 i.e. 10, 4MB this trades off randomization granularity for time spent shuffling. MAX_ORDER-1 was chosen to be minimally invasive to the page allocator while still showing memory-side cache behavior improvements, and the expectation that the security implications of finer granularity randomization is mitigated by CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM. The performance impact of the shuffling appears to be in the noise compared to other memory initialization work. This initial randomization can be undone over time so a follow-on patch is introduced to inject entropy on page free decisions. It is reasonable to ask if the page free entropy is sufficient, but it is not enough due to the in-order initial freeing of pages. At the start of that process putting page1 in front or behind page0 still keeps them close together, page2 is still near page1 and has a high chance of being adjacent. As more pages are added ordering diversity improves, but there is still high page locality for the low address pages and this leads to no significant impact to the cache conflict rate.

mm: memblock: make keeping memblock memory opt-in rather than opt-out Most architectures do not need the memblock memory after the page allocator is initialized, but only few enable ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK in the arch Kconfig. Replacing ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK with ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK and inverting the logic makes it clear which architectures actually use memblock after system initialization and skips the necessity to add ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK to the architectures that are still missing that option.

mm, memory_hotplug: cleanup memory offline path check_pages_isolated_cb currently accounts the whole pfn range as being offlined if test_pages_isolated suceeds on the range. This is based on the assumption that all pages in the range are freed which is currently the case in most cases but it won't be with later changes, as pages marked as vmemmap won't be isolated. Move the offlined pages counting to offline_isolated_pages_cb and rely on __offline_isolated_pages to return the correct value. check_pages_isolated_cb will still do it's primary job and check the pfn range. While we are at it remove check_pages_isolated and offline_isolated_pages and use directly walk_system_ram_range as do in online_pages.

mm: initialize MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES at a time instead of doing larger sections Add yet another iterator, for_each_free_mem_range_in_zone_from, and then use it to support initializing and freeing pages in groups no larger than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. By doing this we can greatly improve the cache locality of the pages while we do several loops over them in the init and freeing process. We are able to tighten the loops further as a result of the "from" iterator as we can perform the initial checks for first_init_pfn in our first call to the iterator, and continue without the need for those checks via the "from" iterator. I have added this functionality in the function called deferred_init_mem_pfn_range_in_zone that primes the iterator and causes us to exit if we encounter any failure. On my x86_64 test system with 384GB of memory per node I saw a reduction in initialization time from 1.85s to 1.38s as a result of this patch.

mm: implement new zone specific memblock iterator Introduce a new iterator for_each_free_mem_pfn_range_in_zone. This iterator will take care of making sure a given memory range provided is in fact contained within a zone. It takes are of all the bounds checking we were doing in deferred_grow_zone, and deferred_init_memmap. In addition it should help to speed up the search a bit by iterating until the end of a range is greater than the start of the zone pfn range, and will exit completely if the start is beyond the end of the zone.

mm: drop meminit_pfn_in_nid as it is redundant As best as I can tell the meminit_pfn_in_nid call is completely redundant. The deferred memory initialization is already making use of for_each_free_mem_range which in turn will call into __next_mem_range which will only return a memory range if it matches the node ID provided assuming it is not NUMA_NO_NODE. I am operating on the assumption that there are no zones or pgdata_t structures that have a NUMA node of NUMA_NO_NODE associated with them. If that is the case then __next_mem_range will never return a memory range that doesn't match the zone's node ID and as such the check is redundant. So one piece I would like to verify on this is if this works for ia64. Technically it was using a different approach to get the node ID, but it seems to have the node ID also encoded into the memblock. So I am assuming this is okay, but would like to get confirmation on that. On my x86_64 test system with 384GB of memory per node I saw a reduction in initialization time from 2.80s to 1.85s as a result of this patch.

mem-hotplug: fix node spanned pages when we have a node with only ZONE_MOVABLE 342332e6a925 ("mm/page_alloc.c: introduce kernelcore=mirror option") and later patches rewrote the calculation of node spanned pages. e506b99696a2 ("mem-hotplug: fix node spanned pages when we have a movable node"), but the current code still has problems, When we have a node with only zone_movable and the node id is not zero, the size of node spanned pages is double added. That's because we have an empty normal zone, and zone_start_pfn or zone_end_pfn is not between arch_zone_lowest_possible_pfn and arch_zone_highest_possible_pfn, so we need to use clamp to constrain the range just like the commit <96e907d13602> (bootmem: Reimplement __absent_pages_in_range() using for_each_mem_pfn_range()). e.g. Zone ranges: DMA [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x0000000000ffffff] DMA32 [mem 0x0000000001000000-0x00000000ffffffff] Normal [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000023fffffff] Movable zone start for each node Node 0: 0x0000000100000000 Node 1: 0x0000000140000000 Early memory node ranges node 0: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009efff] node 0: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000bffdffff] node 0: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000013fffffff] node 1: [mem 0x0000000140000000-0x000000023fffffff] node 0 DMA spanned:0xfff present:0xf9e absent:0x61 node 0 DMA32 spanned:0xff000 present:0xbefe0 absent:0x40020 node 0 Normal spanned:0 present:0 absent:0 node 0 Movable spanned:0x40000 present:0x40000 absent:0 On node 0 totalpages(node_present_pages): 1048446 node_spanned_pages:1310719 node 1 DMA spanned:0 present:0 absent:0 node 1 DMA32 spanned:0 present:0 absent:0 node 1 Normal spanned:0x100000 present:0x100000 absent:0 node 1 Movable spanned:0x100000 present:0x100000 absent:0 On node 1 totalpages(node_present_pages): 2097152 node_spanned_pages:2097152 Memory: 6967796K/12582392K available (16388K kernel code, 3686K rwdata, 4468K rodata, 2160K init, 10444K bss, 5614596K reserved, 0K cma-reserved) It shows that the current memory of node 1 is double added.

mm, page_alloc: disallow __GFP_COMP in alloc_pages_exact() alloc_pages_exact*() allocates a page of sufficient order and then splits it to return only the number of pages requested. That makes it incompatible with __GFP_COMP, because compound pages cannot be split. As shown by [1] things may silently work until the requested size (possibly depending on user) stops being power of two. Then for CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, BUG_ON() triggers in split_page(). Without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, consequences are unclear. There are several options here, none of them great: 1) Don't do the splitting when __GFP_COMP is passed, and return the whole compound page. However if caller then returns it via free_pages_exact(), that will be unexpected and the freeing actions there will be wrong. 2) Warn and remove __GFP_COMP from the flags. But the caller may have really wanted it, so things may break later somewhere. 3) Warn and return NULL. However NULL may be unexpected, especially for small sizes. This patch picks option 2, because as Michal Hocko put it: "callers wanted it" is much less probable than "caller is simply confused and more gfp flags is surely better than fewer".

These functions allow for setting pages to invalid configurations, so now hibernate should check if the pages have valid mappings and handle if they are unmapped when doing a hibernate save operation. Previously this checking was already done when CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y was configured. It does not appear to have a big hibernating performance impact.

mm, page_alloc: always use a captured page regardless of compaction result During the development of commit 5e1f0f098b46 ("mm, compaction: capture a page under direct compaction"), a paranoid check was added to ensure that if a captured page was available after compaction that it was consistent with the final state of compaction. The intent was to catch serious programming bugs such as using a stale page pointer and causing corruption problems. However, it is possible to get a captured page even if compaction was unsuccessful if an interrupt triggered and happened to free pages in interrupt context that got merged into a suitable high-order page. It's highly unlikely but Li Wang did report the following warning on s390 occuring when testing OOM handling. Note that the warning is slightly edited for clarity.

mm: do not boost watermarks to avoid fragmentation for the DISCONTIG memory model Mikulas Patocka reported that commit 1c30844d2dfe ("mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs") "broke" memory management on parisc. The machine is not NUMA but the DISCONTIG model creates three pgdats even though it's a UMA machine for the following ranges 0) Start 0x0000000000000000 End 0x000000003fffffff Size 1024 MB 1) Start 0x0000000100000000 End 0x00000001bfdfffff Size 3070 MB 2) Start 0x0000004040000000 End 0x00000040ffffffff Size 3072 MB Mikulas reported: With the patch 1c30844d2, the kernel will incorrectly reclaim the first zone when it fills up, ignoring the fact that there are two completely free zones. Basiscally, it limits cache size to 1GiB. For example, if I run: # dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M count=2048 - with the proper kernel, there should be "Buffers - 2GiB" when this command finishes. With the patch 1c30844d2, buffers will consume just 1GiB or slightly more, because the kernel was incorrectly reclaiming them. The page allocator and reclaim makes assumptions that pgdats really represent NUMA nodes and zones represent ranges and makes decisions on that basis. Watermark boosting for small pgdats leads to unexpected results even though this would have behaved reasonably on SPARSEMEM. DISCONTIG is essentially deprecated and even parisc plans to move to SPARSEMEM so there is no need to be fancy, this patch simply disables watermark boosting by default on DISCONTIGMEM.

mm/hotplug: treat CMA pages as unmovable has_unmovable_pages() is used by allocating CMA and gigantic pages as well as the memory hotplug. The later doesn't know how to offline CMA pool properly now, but if an unused (free) CMA page is encountered, then has_unmovable_pages() happily considers it as a free memory and propagates this up the call chain. Memory offlining code then frees the page without a proper CMA tear down which leads to an accounting issues. Moreover if the same memory range is onlined again then the memory never gets back to the CMA pool. State after memory offline: # grep cma /proc/vmstat nr_free_cma 205824 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/cma/cma-kvm_cma/count 209920 Also, kmemleak still think those memory address are reserved below but have already been used by the buddy allocator after onlining. This patch fixes the situation by treating CMA pageblocks as unmovable except when has_unmovable_pages() is called as part of CMA allocation.

mm/hotplug: fix offline undo_isolate_page_range() Commit f1dd2cd13c4b ("mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate hotadded memory to zones until online") introduced move_pfn_range_to_zone() which calls memmap_init_zone() during onlining a memory block. memmap_init_zone() will reset pagetype flags and makes migrate type to be MOVABLE. However, in __offline_pages(), it also call undo_isolate_page_range() after offline_isolated_pages() to do the same thing. Due to commit 2ce13640b3f4 ("mm: __first_valid_page skip over offline pages") changed __first_valid_page() to skip offline pages, undo_isolate_page_range() here just waste CPU cycles looping around the offlining PFN range while doing nothing, because __first_valid_page() will return NULL as offline_isolated_pages() has already marked all memory sections within the pfn range as offline via offline_mem_sections(). Also, after calling the "useless" undo_isolate_page_range() here, it reaches the point of no returning by notifying MEM_OFFLINE. Those pages will be marked as MIGRATE_MOVABLE again once onlining. The only thing left to do is to decrease the number of isolated pageblocks zone counter which would make some paths of the page allocation slower that the above commit introduced. Even if alloc_contig_range() can be used to isolate 16GB-hugetlb pages on ppc64, an "int" should still be enough to represent the number of pageblocks there. Fix an incorrect comment along the way.

mm, compaction: capture a page under direct compaction Compaction is inherently race-prone as a suitable page freed during compaction can be allocated by any parallel task. This patch uses a capture_control structure to isolate a page immediately when it is freed by a direct compactor in the slow path of the page allocator. The intent is to avoid redundant scanning. 5.0.0-rc1 5.0.0-rc1 selective-v3r17 capture-v3r19 Amean fault-both-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 * 0.00%* Amean fault-both-3 2582.11 ( 0.00%) 2563.68 ( 0.71%) Amean fault-both-5 4500.26 ( 0.00%) 4233.52 ( 5.93%) Amean fault-both-7 5819.53 ( 0.00%) 6333.65 ( -8.83%) Amean fault-both-12 9321.18 ( 0.00%) 9759.38 ( -4.70%) Amean fault-both-18 9782.76 ( 0.00%) 10338.76 ( -5.68%) Amean fault-both-24 15272.81 ( 0.00%) 13379.55 * 12.40%* Amean fault-both-30 15121.34 ( 0.00%) 16158.25 ( -6.86%) Amean fault-both-32 18466.67 ( 0.00%) 18971.21 ( -2.73%) Latency is only moderately affected but the devil is in the details. A closer examination indicates that base page fault latency is reduced but latency of huge pages is increased as it takes creater care to succeed.

mm, compaction: ignore the fragmentation avoidance boost for isolation and compaction When pageblocks get fragmented, watermarks are artifically boosted to reclaim pages to avoid further fragmentation events. However, compaction is often either fragmentation-neutral or moving movable pages away from unmovable/reclaimable pages. As the true watermarks are preserved, allow compaction to ignore the boost factor. The expected impact is very slight as the main benefit is that compaction is slightly more likely to succeed when the system has been fragmented very recently. On both 1-socket and 2-socket machines for THP-intensive allocation during fragmentation the success rate was increased by less than 1% which is marginal. However, detailed tracing indicated that failure of migration due to a premature ENOMEM triggered by watermark checks were eliminated.

mm: remove extra drain pages on pcp list In the current implementation, there are two places to isolate a range of page: __offline_pages() and alloc_contig_range(). During this procedure, it will drain pages on pcp list. Below is a brief call flow: __offline_pages()/alloc_contig_range() start_isolate_page_range() set_migratetype_isolate() drain_all_pages() drain_all_pages() <--- A This snippet shows the current logic is isolate and drain pcp list for each pageblock and drain pcp list again for the whole range. start_isolate_page_range is responsible for isolating the given pfn range. One part of that job is to make sure that also pages that are on the allocator pcp lists are properly isolated. Otherwise they could be reused and the range wouldn't be completely isolated until the memory is freed back. While there is no strict guarantee here because pages might get allocated at any time before drain_all_pages is called there doesn't seem to be any strong demand for such a guarantee. In any case, draining is already done at the isolation level and there is no need to do it again later by start_isolate_page_range callers (memory hotplug and CMA allocator currently). Therefore remove pointless draining in existing callers to make the code more clear and functionally correct.

I will appreciate suggestions, inputs and review. 1. git grep "nid == -1" 2. git grep "node == -1" 3. git grep "nid = -1" 4. git grep "node = -1" This patch (of 2): At present there are multiple places where invalid node number is encoded as -1. Even though implicitly understood it is always better to have macros in there. Replace these open encodings for an invalid node number with the global macro NUMA_NO_NODE. This helps remove NUMA related assumptions like 'invalid node' from various places redirecting them to a common definition.

mm/page_alloc.c: memory hotplug: free pages as higher order When freeing pages are done with higher order, time spent on coalescing pages by buddy allocator can be reduced. With section size of 256MB, hot add latency of a single section shows improvement from 50-60 ms to less than 1 ms, hence improving the hot add latency by 60 times.

mm: Use fixed constant in page_frag_alloc instead of size + 1 This patch replaces the size + 1 value introduced with the recent fix for 1 byte allocs with a constant value. The idea here is to reduce code overhead as the previous logic would have to read size into a register, then increment it, and write it back to whatever field was being used. By using a constant we can avoid those memory reads and arithmetic operations in favor of just encoding the maximum value into the operation itself.

mm: page_alloc: fix ref bias in page_frag_alloc() for 1-byte allocs The basic idea behind ->pagecnt_bias is: If we pre-allocate the maximum number of references that we might need to create in the fastpath later, the bump-allocation fastpath only has to modify the non-atomic bias value that tracks the number of extra references we hold instead of the atomic refcount. The maximum number of allocations we can serve (under the assumption that no allocation is made with size 0) is nc->size, so that's the bias used. However, even when all memory in the allocation has been given away, a reference to the page is still held; and in the `offset < 0` slowpath, the page may be reused if everyone else has dropped their references. This means that the necessary number of references is actually `nc->size+1`. Luckily, from a quick grep, it looks like the only path that can call page_frag_alloc(fragsz=1) is TAP with the IFF_NAPI_FRAGS flag, which requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in the init namespace and is only intended to be used for kernel testing and fuzzing. To test for this issue, put a `WARN_ON(page_ref_count(page) == 0)` in the `offset < 0` path, below the virt_to_page() call, and then repeatedly call writev() on a TAP device with IFF_TAP|IFF_NO_PI|IFF_NAPI_FRAGS|IFF_NAPI, with a vector consisting of 15 elements containing 1 byte each.

Revert "mm, memory_hotplug: initialize struct pages for the full memory section" This reverts commit 2830bf6f05fb3e05bc4743274b806c821807a684. The underlying assumption that one sparse section belongs into a single numa node doesn't hold really. Robert Shteynfeld has reported a boot failure. The boot log was not captured but his memory layout is as follows: Early memory node ranges node 1: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x0000000000090fff] node 1: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000dbdf8fff] node 1: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000001423ffffff] node 0: [mem 0x0000001424000000-0x0000002023ffffff] This means that node0 starts in the middle of a memory section which is also in node1. memmap_init_zone tries to initialize padding of a section even when it is outside of the given pfn range because there are code paths (e.g. memory hotplug) which assume that the full worth of memory section is always initialized. In this particular case, though, such a range is already intialized and most likely already managed by the page allocator. Scribbling over those pages corrupts the internal state and likely blows up when any of those pages gets used.

Nevertheless, the possibility exists and so it's best to avoid the problem. This patch flags a zone as needing a kswapd using the, surprisingly, unused zone flag field. The flag is read without the lock held to do the wakeup. It's possible that the flag setting context is not the same as the flag clearing context or for small races to occur. However, each race possibility is harmless and there is no visible degredation in fragmentation treatment. While zone->flag could have continued to be unused, there is potential for moving some existing fields into the flags field instead. Particularly read-mostly ones like zone->initialized and zone->contiguous.

mm/page_alloc.c: allow error injection Model call chain after should_failslab(). Likewise, we can now use a kprobe to override the return value of should_fail_alloc_page() and inject allocation failures into alloc_page*(). This will allow injecting allocation failures using the BCC tools even without building kernel with CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC and booting it with a fail_page_alloc= parameter, which incurs some overhead even when failures are not being injected. On the other hand, this patch adds an unconditional call to should_fail_alloc_page() from page allocation hotpath. That overhead should be rather negligible with CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC=n when there's no kprobe attached, though.

mm, page_alloc: enable pcpu_drain with zone capability drain_all_pages is documented to drain per-cpu pages for a given zone (if non-NULL). The current implementation doesn't match the description though. It will drain all pcp pages for all zones that happen to have cached pages on the same cpu as the given zone. This will lead to premature pcp cache draining for zones that are not of any interest to the caller - e.g. compaction, hwpoison or memory offline. This forces the page allocator to take locks and potential lock contention as a result. There is no real reason for this sub-optimal implementation. Replace per-cpu work item with a dedicated structure which contains a pointer to the zone and pass it over to the worker. This will get the zone information all the way down to the worker function and do the right job.

mm/page_alloc.c: don't call kasan_free_pages() at deferred mem init When CONFIG_KASAN is enabled on large memory SMP systems, the deferrred pages initialization can take a long time. Below were the reported init times on a 8-socket 96-core 4TB IvyBridge system. 1) Non-debug kernel without CONFIG_KASAN [ 8.764222] node 1 initialised, 132086516 pages in 7027ms 2) Debug kernel with CONFIG_KASAN [ 146.288115] node 1 initialised, 132075466 pages in 143052ms So the page init time in a debug kernel was 20X of the non-debug kernel. The long init time can be problematic as the page initialization is done with interrupt disabled. In this particular case, it caused the appearance of following warning messages as well as NMI backtraces of all the cores that were doing the initialization. [ 68.240049] rcu: INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: [ 68.241000] rcu: 25-...0: (100 ticks this GP) idle=b72/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=915/915 fqs=16252 [ 68.241000] rcu: 44-...0: (95 ticks this GP) idle=49a/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=788/788 fqs=16253 [ 68.241000] rcu: 54-...0: (104 ticks this GP) idle=03a/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=721/825 fqs=16253 [ 68.241000] rcu: 60-...0: (103 ticks this GP) idle=cbe/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=637/740 fqs=16253 [ 68.241000] rcu: 72-...0: (105 ticks this GP) idle=786/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=536/641 fqs=16253 [ 68.241000] rcu: 84-...0: (99 ticks this GP) idle=292/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=537/537 fqs=16253 [ 68.241000] rcu: 111-...0: (104 ticks this GP) idle=bde/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=474/476 fqs=16253 [ 68.241000] rcu: (detected by 13, t=65018 jiffies, g=249, q=2) The long init time was mainly caused by the call to kasan_free_pages() to poison the newly initialized pages. On a 4TB system, we are talking about almost 500GB of memory probably on the same node. In reality, we may not need to poison the newly initialized pages before they are ever allocated. So KASAN poisoning of freed pages before the completion of deferred memory initialization is now disabled. Those pages will be properly poisoned when they are allocated or freed after deferred pages initialization is done. With this change, the new page initialization time became: [ 21.948010] node 1 initialised, 132075466 pages in 18702ms This was still about double the non-debug kernel time, but was much better than before.

mm/pageblock: throw compile error if pageblock_bits cannot hold MIGRATE_TYPES Currently, NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS and MIGRATE_TYPES are not associated by code. If someone adds extra migrate type, then he may forget to enlarge the NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS. Hence it requires some way to fix. NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS depends on MIGRATE_TYPES, while these macro spread on two different .h file with reverse dependency, it is a little hard to refer to MIGRATE_TYPES in pageblock-flag.h.

mm: check nr_initialised with PAGES_PER_SECTION directly in defer_init() When DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is configured, only the first section of each node's highest zone is initialized before defer stage. static_init_pgcnt is used to store the number of pages like this: pgdat->static_init_pgcnt = min_t(unsigned long, PAGES_PER_SECTION, pgdat->node_spanned_pages); because we don't want to overflow zone's range. But this is not necessary, since defer_init() is called like this: memmap_init_zone() for pfn in [start_pfn, end_pfn) defer_init(pfn, end_pfn) In case (pgdat->node_spanned_pages < PAGES_PER_SECTION), the loop would stop before calling defer_init(). BTW, comparing PAGES_PER_SECTION with node_spanned_pages is not correct, since nr_initialised is zone based instead of node based. Even node_spanned_pages is bigger than PAGES_PER_SECTION, its highest zone would have pages less than PAGES_PER_SECTION.

mm, oom: reorganize the oom report in dump_header OOM report contains several sections. The first one is the allocation context that has triggered the OOM. Then we have cpuset context followed by the stack trace of the OOM path. The tird one is the OOM memory information. Followed by the current memory state of all system tasks. At last, we will show oom eligible tasks and the information about the chosen oom victim. One thing that makes parsing more awkward than necessary is that we do not have a single and easily parsable line about the oom context. This patch is reorganizing the oom report to 1) who invoked oom and what was the allocation request [ 515.902945] tuned invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x6200ca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE), order=0, oom_score_adj=0 2) OOM stack trace [ 515.904273] CPU: 24 PID: 1809 Comm: tuned Not tainted 4.20.0-rc3+ #3 [ 515.905518] Hardware name: Inspur SA5212M4/YZMB-00370-107, BIOS 4.1.10 11/14/2016 [ 515.906821] Call Trace: [ 515.908062] dump_stack+0x5a/0x73 [ 515.909311] dump_header+0x55/0x28c [ 515.914260] oom_kill_process+0x2d8/0x300 [ 515.916708] out_of_memory+0x145/0x4a0 [ 515.917932] __alloc_pages_slowpath+0x7d2/0xa16 [ 515.919157] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x277/0x290 [ 515.920367] filemap_fault+0x3d0/0x6c0 [ 515.921529] ? filemap_map_pages+0x2b8/0x420 [ 515.922709] ext4_filemap_fault+0x2c/0x40 [ext4] [ 515.923884] __do_fault+0x20/0x80 [ 515.925032] __handle_mm_fault+0xbc0/0xe80 [ 515.926195] handle_mm_fault+0xfa/0x210 [ 515.927357] __do_page_fault+0x233/0x4c0 [ 515.928506] do_page_fault+0x32/0x140 [ 515.929646] ? page_fault+0x8/0x30 [ 515.930770] page_fault+0x1e/0x30 3) OOM memory information [ 515.958093] Mem-Info: [ 515.959647] active_anon:26501758 inactive_anon:1179809 isolated_anon:0 active_file:4402672 inactive_file:483963 isolated_file:1344 unevictable:0 dirty:4886753 writeback:0 unstable:0 slab_reclaimable:148442 slab_unreclaimable:18741 mapped:1347 shmem:1347 pagetables:58669 bounce:0 free:88663 free_pcp:0 free_cma:0 ... 4) current memory state of all system tasks [ 516.079544] [ 744] 0 744 9211 1345 114688 82 0 systemd-journal [ 516.082034] [ 787] 0 787 31764 0 143360 92 0 lvmetad [ 516.084465] [ 792] 0 792 10930 1 110592 208 -1000 systemd-udevd [ 516.086865] [ 1199] 0 1199 13866 0 131072 112 -1000 auditd [ 516.089190] [ 1222] 0 1222 31990 1 110592 157 0 smartd [ 516.091477] [ 1225] 0 1225 4864 85 81920 43 0 irqbalance [ 516.093712] [ 1226] 0 1226 52612 0 258048 426 0 abrtd [ 516.112128] [ 1280] 0 1280 109774 55 299008 400 0 NetworkManager [ 516.113998] [ 1295] 0 1295 28817 37 69632 24 0 ksmtuned [ 516.144596] [ 10718] 0 10718 2622484 1721372 15998976 267219 0 panic [ 516.145792] [ 10719] 0 10719 2622484 1164767 9818112 53576 0 panic [ 516.146977] [ 10720] 0 10720 2622484 1174361 9904128 53709 0 panic [ 516.148163] [ 10721] 0 10721 2622484 1209070 10194944 54824 0 panic [ 516.149329] [ 10722] 0 10722 2622484 1745799 14774272 91138 0 panic 5) oom context (contrains and the chosen victim). oom-kill:constraint=CONSTRAINT_NONE,nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0-1,task=panic,pid=10737,uid=0 An admin can easily get the full oom context at a single line which makes parsing much easier.

mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs An external fragmentation event was previously described as When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered an event that will cause external fragmentation issues in the future. The kernel reduces the probability of such events by increasing the watermark sizes by calling set_recommended_min_free_kbytes early in the lifetime of the system. This works reasonably well in general but if there are enough sparsely populated pageblocks then the problem can still occur as enough memory is free overall and kswapd stays asleep. This patch introduces a watermark_boost_factor sysctl that allows a zone watermark to be temporarily boosted when an external fragmentation causing events occurs. The boosting will stall allocations that would decrease free memory below the boosted low watermark and kswapd is woken if the calling context allows to reclaim an amount of memory relative to the size of the high watermark and the watermark_boost_factor until the boost is cleared. When kswapd finishes, it wakes kcompactd at the pageblock order to clean some of the pageblocks that may have been affected by the fragmentation event. kswapd avoids any writeback, slab shrinkage and swap from reclaim context during this operation to avoid excessive system disruption in the name of fragmentation avoidance. Care is taken so that kswapd will do normal reclaim work if the system is really low on memory. This was evaluated using the same workloads as "mm, page_alloc: Spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation". 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) 4.20-rc3+patch1-4: 18421 (98% reduction) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 lowzone-v5r8 boost-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 653.58 ( 0.00%) 652.71 ( 0.13%) Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 178.93 * -99.00%* 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 lowzone-v5r8 boost-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 5.12 ( 100.00%) Note that external fragmentation causing events are massively reduced by this path whether in comparison to the previous kernel or the vanilla kernel.

mm: use alloc_flags to record if kswapd can wake This is a preparation patch that copies the GFP flag __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM into alloc_flags. This is a preparation patch only that avoids having to pass gfp_mask through a long callchain in a future patch. Note that the setting in the fast path happens in alloc_flags_nofragment() and it may be claimed that this has nothing to do with ALLOC_NO_FRAGMENT. That's true in this patch but is not true later so it's done now for easier review to show where the flag needs to be recorded. No functional change.

mm, page_alloc: spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5. It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series that reduces the level of those fragmentation events. The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the mmtests implementation. The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch) 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94% on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded so they are treated as a secondary metric. Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained in the changelog. Patch 2-4 boosts watermarks temporarily when an external fragmentation event occurs. kswapd wakes to reclaim a small amount of old memory and then wakes kcompactd on completion to recover the system slightly. This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance for fragmentation vs allocation latency. Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4 make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if larger stalls can be tolerated. The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches 1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for some stalls to control fragmentation. This patch (of 5): The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account. On x86, node 0 may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone. A consequence is that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory. This patch special cases the allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local zone before fragmenting a higher zone. In this case, stealing of pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view. This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before attempting THP allocations. It's implemented in mmtests as the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage e.g. from mmtests ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1 The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch). 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameter create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed. 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only processes accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll refault old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds. 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup the test files. Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory may be excessive. Also note that while this is one mix that generates fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation. Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is used with high-order pages may yield different results. When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an "external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future. Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation events that occur with order < 9. The secondary metric is allocation latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric. 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 662.92 ( 0.00%) 653.58 * 1.41%* Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or keeping pages resident. However, a 49% reduction of serious fragmentation events reduces the changes of external fragmentation being a problem in the future. Vlastimil asked during review for a breakdown of the allocation types that are falling back. vanilla 3816 MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE 800845 MIGRATE_MOVABLE 33 MIGRATE_UNRECLAIMABLE patch 735 MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE 408135 MIGRATE_MOVABLE 42 MIGRATE_UNRECLAIMABLE The majority of the fallbacks are due to movable allocations and this is consistent for the workload throughout the series so will not be presented again as the primary source of fallbacks are movable allocations. Movable fallbacks are sometimes considered "ok" to fallback because they can be migrated. The problem is that they can fill an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock causing those allocations to fallback later and polluting pageblocks with pages that cannot move. If there is a movable fallback, it is pretty much guaranteed to affect an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock and while it might not be enough to actually cause a unmovable/reclaimable fallback in the future, we cannot know that in advance so the patch takes the only option available to it.

The allocation success rate is high enough that the system is struggling and there is quite a lot of parallel reclaim and compaction activity. There is also a certain degree of luck on whether processes start on node 0 or not for this patch but the relevance is reduced later in the series. Overall, the patch reduces the number of external fragmentation causing events so the success of THP over long periods of time would be improved for this adverse workload.

mm/page_alloc.c: free order-0 pages through PCP in page_frag_free() page_frag_free() calls __free_pages_ok() to free the page back to Buddy. This is OK for high order page, but for order-0 pages, it misses the optimization opportunity of using Per-Cpu-Pages and can cause zone lock contention when called frequently. Pawel Staszewski recently shared his result of 'how Linux kernel handles normal traffic'[1] and from perf data, Jesper Dangaard Brouer found the lock contention comes from page allocator: mlx5e_poll_tx_cq | --16.34%--napi_consume_skb | |--12.65%--__free_pages_ok | | | --11.86%--free_one_page | | | |--10.10%--queued_spin_lock_slowpath | | | --0.65%--_raw_spin_lock | |--1.55%--page_frag_free | --1.44%--skb_release_data Jesper explained how it happened: mlx5 driver RX-page recycle mechanism is not effective in this workload and pages have to go through the page allocator. The lock contention happens during mlx5 DMA TX completion cycle. And the page allocator cannot keep up at these speeds.[2] I thought that __free_pages_ok() are mostly freeing high order pages and thought this is an lock contention for high order pages but Jesper explained in detail that __free_pages_ok() here are actually freeing order-0 pages because mlx5 is using order-0 pages to satisfy its page pool allocation request.[3] The free path as pointed out by Jesper is: skb_free_head() -> skb_free_frag() -> page_frag_free() And the pages being freed on this path are order-0 pages. Fix this by doing similar things as in __page_frag_cache_drain() - send the being freed page to PCP if it's an order-0 page, or directly to Buddy if it is a high order page. With this change, Paweł hasn't noticed lock contention yet in his workload and Jesper has noticed a 7% performance improvement using a micro benchmark and lock contention is gone. Ilias' test on a 'low' speed 1Gbit interface on an cortex-a53 shows ~11% performance boost testing with 64byte packets and __free_pages_ok() disappeared from perf top.

The original idea behind dumping the page state for all call paths was that these messages will be helpful debugging failures. From the above it seems that this is not the case for the CMA path because we are lacking much more context. E.g the second reported page might be a CMA allocated page. It is still interesting to see a slab page in the CMA area but it is hard to tell whether this is bug from the above output alone. Address this issue by dumping the page state only on request. Both start_isolate_page_range and has_unmovable_pages already have an argument to ignore hwpoison pages so make this argument more generic and turn it into flags and allow callers to combine non-default modes into a mask. While we are at it, has_unmovable_pages call from is_pageblock_removable_nolock (sysfs removable file) is questionable to report the failure so drop it from there as well.

It might be that the page migration failes repeatedly and the userspace timeout expires and send a signal or it might be some of the earlier steps (isolation, memory notifier) takes too long. If the migration failes then it would be really helpful to see which page that and its state. The same applies to the isolation phase. If we fail to isolate a page from the allocator then knowing the state of the page would be helpful as well. Dump the page state that fails to get isolated or migrated. This will tell us more about the failure and what to focus on during debugging.

kasan, mm, arm64: tag non slab memory allocated via pagealloc Tag-based KASAN doesn't check memory accesses through pointers tagged with 0xff. When page_address is used to get pointer to memory that corresponds to some page, the tag of the resulting pointer gets set to 0xff, even though the allocated memory might have been tagged differently. For slab pages it's impossible to recover the correct tag to return from page_address, since the page might contain multiple slab objects tagged with different values, and we can't know in advance which one of them is going to get accessed. For non slab pages however, we can recover the tag in page_address, since the whole page was marked with the same tag. This patch adds tagging to non slab memory allocated with pagealloc. To set the tag of the pointer returned from page_address, the tag gets stored to page->flags when the memory gets allocated.

mm/page_alloc.c: fix calculation of pgdat->nr_zones init_currently_empty_zone() will adjust pgdat->nr_zones and set it to 'zone_idx(zone) + 1' unconditionally. This is correct in the normal case, while not exact in hot-plug situation. This function is used in two places: * free_area_init_core() * move_pfn_range_to_zone() In the first case, we are sure zone index increase monotonically. While in the second one, this is under users control. One way to reproduce this is: ---------------------------- 1. create a virtual machine with empty node1 -m 4G,slots=32,maxmem=32G \ -smp 4,maxcpus=8 \ -numa node,nodeid=0,mem=4G,cpus=0-3 \ -numa node,nodeid=1,mem=0G,cpus=4-7 2. hot-add cpu 3-7 cpu-add [3-7] 2. hot-add memory to nod1 object_add memory-backend-ram,id=ram0,size=1G device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm0,memdev=ram0,node=1 3. online memory with following order echo online_movable > memory47/state echo online > memory40/state After this, node1 will have its nr_zones equals to (ZONE_NORMAL + 1) instead of (ZONE_MOVABLE + 1). Michal said: "Having an incorrect nr_zones might result in all sorts of problems which would be quite hard to debug (e.g. reclaim not considering the movable zone). I do not expect many users would suffer from this it but still this is trivial and obviously right thing to do so backporting to the stable tree shouldn't be harmful (last famous words)" Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181117022022.9956-1-richard.weiyang@gmail.com Fixes: f1dd2cd13c4b ("mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate hotadded memory to zones until online") Signed-off-by: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@gmail.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Reviewed-by: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@suse.de> Cc: Anshuman Khandual <anshuman.khandual@arm.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm, memory_hotplug: check zone_movable in has_unmovable_pages Page state checks are racy. Under a heavy memory workload (e.g. stress -m 200 -t 2h) it is quite easy to hit a race window when the page is allocated but its state is not fully populated yet. A debugging patch to dump the struct page state shows has_unmovable_pages: pfn:0x10dfec00, found:0x1, count:0x0 page:ffffea0437fb0000 count:1 mapcount:1 mapping:ffff880e05239841 index:0x7f26e5000 compound_mapcount: 1 flags: 0x5fffffc0090034(uptodate|lru|active|head|swapbacked) Note that the state has been checked for both PageLRU and PageSwapBacked already. Closing this race completely would require some sort of retry logic. This can be tricky and error prone (think of potential endless or long taking loops). Workaround this problem for movable zones at least. Such a zone should only contain movable pages. Commit 15c30bc09085 ("mm, memory_hotplug: make has_unmovable_pages more robust") has told us that this is not strictly true though. Bootmem pages should be marked reserved though so we can move the original check after the PageReserved check. Pages from other zones are still prone to races but we even do not pretend that memory hotremove works for those so pre-mature failure doesn't hurt that much.

memblock: stop using implicit alignment to SMP_CACHE_BYTES When a memblock allocation APIs are called with align = 0, the alignment is implicitly set to SMP_CACHE_BYTES. Implicit alignment is done deep in the memblock allocator and it can come as a surprise. Not that such an alignment would be wrong even when used incorrectly but it is better to be explicit for the sake of clarity and the prinicple of the least surprise. Replace all such uses of memblock APIs with the 'align' parameter explicitly set to SMP_CACHE_BYTES and stop implicit alignment assignment in the memblock internal allocation functions. For the case when memblock APIs are used via helper functions, e.g. like iommu_arena_new_node() in Alpha, the helper functions were detected with Coccinelle's help and then manually examined and updated where appropriate. The direct memblock APIs users were updated using the semantic patch below: @@ expression size, min_addr, max_addr, nid; @@ ( | - memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw(size, 0, min_addr, max_addr, nid) + memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw(size, SMP_CACHE_BYTES, min_addr, max_addr, nid) | - memblock_alloc_try_nid_nopanic(size, 0, min_addr, max_addr, nid) + memblock_alloc_try_nid_nopanic(size, SMP_CACHE_BYTES, min_addr, max_addr, nid) | - memblock_alloc_try_nid(size, 0, min_addr, max_addr, nid) + memblock_alloc_try_nid(size, SMP_CACHE_BYTES, min_addr, max_addr, nid) | - memblock_alloc(size, 0) + memblock_alloc(size, SMP_CACHE_BYTES) | - memblock_alloc_raw(size, 0) + memblock_alloc_raw(size, SMP_CACHE_BYTES) | - memblock_alloc_from(size, 0, min_addr) + memblock_alloc_from(size, SMP_CACHE_BYTES, min_addr) | - memblock_alloc_nopanic(size, 0) + memblock_alloc_nopanic(size, SMP_CACHE_BYTES) | - memblock_alloc_low(size, 0) + memblock_alloc_low(size, SMP_CACHE_BYTES) | - memblock_alloc_low_nopanic(size, 0) + memblock_alloc_low_nopanic(size, SMP_CACHE_BYTES) | - memblock_alloc_from_nopanic(size, 0, min_addr) + memblock_alloc_from_nopanic(size, SMP_CACHE_BYTES, min_addr) | - memblock_alloc_node(size, 0, nid) + memblock_alloc_node(size, SMP_CACHE_BYTES, nid) ) [mhocko@suse.com: changelog update] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] [rppt@linux.ibm.com: fix missed uses of implicit alignment] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181016133656.GA10925@rapoport-lnx Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1538687224-17535-1-git-send-email-rppt@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Suggested-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Acked-by: Paul Burton <paul.burton@mips.com> [MIPS] Acked-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> [powerpc] Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Chris Zankel <chris@zankel.net> Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Cc: Guan Xuetao <gxt@pku.edu.cn> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Matt Turner <mattst88@gmail.com> Cc: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu> Cc: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at> Cc: Russell King <linux@armlinux.org.uk> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm: return zero_resv_unavail optimization When checking for valid pfns in zero_resv_unavail(), it is not necessary to verify that pfns within pageblock_nr_pages ranges are valid, only the first one needs to be checked. This is because memory for pages are allocated in contiguous chunks that contain pageblock_nr_pages struct pages.

mm: zero remaining unavailable struct pages Patch series "mm: Fix for movable_node boot option", v3. This patch series contains a fix for the movable_node boot option issue which was introduced by commit 124049decbb1 ("x86/e820: put !E820_TYPE_RAM regions into memblock.reserved"). The commit breaks the option because it changed the memory gap range to reserved memblock. So, the node is marked as Normal zone even if the SRAT has Hot pluggable affinity. First and second patch fix the original issue which the commit tried to fix, then revert the commit.

Memblock layout affects the pfn ranges covered by node/zone. Consider that we have a VM with 2 NUMA nodes and each node has 4GB memory, and the default (no memmap= given) memblock layout is like below: MEMBLOCK configuration: memory size = 0x00000001fff75c00 reserved size = 0x000000000300c000 memory.cnt = 0x4 memory[0x0] [0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009efff], 0x000000000009e000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0 memory[0x1] [0x0000000000100000-0x00000000bffd6fff], 0x00000000bfed7000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0 memory[0x2] [0x0000000100000000-0x000000013fffffff], 0x0000000040000000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0 memory[0x3] [0x0000000140000000-0x000000023fffffff], 0x0000000100000000 bytes on node 1 flags: 0x0 ... If you give memmap=1G!4G (so it just covers memory[0x2]), the range [0x100000000-0x13fffffff] is gone: MEMBLOCK configuration: memory size = 0x00000001bff75c00 reserved size = 0x000000000300c000 memory.cnt = 0x3 memory[0x0] [0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009efff], 0x000000000009e000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0 memory[0x1] [0x0000000000100000-0x00000000bffd6fff], 0x00000000bfed7000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0 memory[0x2] [0x0000000140000000-0x000000023fffffff], 0x0000000100000000 bytes on node 1 flags: 0x0 ... This causes shrinking node 0's pfn range because it is calculated by the address range of memblock.memory. So some of struct pages in the gap range are left uninitialized. We have a function zero_resv_unavail() which does zeroing the struct pages outside memblock.memory, but currently it covers only the reserved unavailable range (i.e. memblock.memory && !memblock.reserved). This patch extends it to cover all unavailable range, which fixes the reported issue.

mm: calculate deferred pages after skipping mirrored memory update_defer_init() should be called only when struct page is about to be initialized. Because it counts number of initialized struct pages, but there we may skip struct pages if there is some mirrored memory. So move, update_defer_init() after checking for mirrored memory. Also, rename update_defer_init() to defer_init() and reverse the return boolean to emphasize that this is a boolean function, that tells that the reset of memmap initialization should be deferred. Make this function self-contained: do not pass number of already initialized pages in this zone by using static counters. I found this bug by reading the code. The effect is that fewer than expected struct pages are initialized early in boot, and it is possible that in some corner cases we may fail to boot when mirrored pages are used. The deferred on demand code should somewhat mitigate this. But this still brings some inconsistencies compared to when booting without mirrored pages, so it is better to fix.

mm: defer ZONE_DEVICE page initialization to the point where we init pgmap The ZONE_DEVICE pages were being initialized in two locations. One was with the memory_hotplug lock held and another was outside of that lock. The problem with this is that it was nearly doubling the memory initialization time. Instead of doing this twice, once while holding a global lock and once without, I am opting to defer the initialization to the one outside of the lock. This allows us to avoid serializing the overhead for memory init and we can instead focus on per-node init times. One issue I encountered is that devm_memremap_pages and hmm_devmmem_pages_create were initializing only the pgmap field the same way. One wasn't initializing hmm_data, and the other was initializing it to a poison value. Since this is something that is exposed to the driver in the case of hmm I am opting for a third option and just initializing hmm_data to 0 since this is going to be exposed to unknown third party drivers.

mm: create non-atomic version of SetPageReserved for init use It doesn't make much sense to use the atomic SetPageReserved at init time when we are using memset to clear the memory and manipulating the page flags via simple "&=" and "|=" operations in __init_single_page. This patch adds a non-atomic version __SetPageReserved that can be used during page init and shows about a 10% improvement in initialization times on the systems I have available for testing. On those systems I saw initialization times drop from around 35 seconds to around 32 seconds to initialize a 3TB block of persistent memory. I believe the main advantage of this is that it allows for more compiler optimization as the __set_bit operation can be reordered whereas the atomic version cannot. I tried adding a bit of documentation based on f1dd2cd13c4 ("mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate hotadded memory to zones until online"). Ideally the reserved flag should be set earlier since there is a brief window where the page is initialization via __init_single_page and we have not set the PG_Reserved flag. I'm leaving that for a future patch set as that will require a more significant refactor.

mm, page_alloc: drop should_suppress_show_mem should_suppress_show_mem() was introduced to reduce the overhead of show_mem on large NUMA systems. Things have changed since then though. Namely c78e93630d15 ("mm: do not walk all of system memory during show_mem") has reduced the overhead considerably. Moreover warn_alloc_show_mem clears SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES when called from the IRQ context already so we are not printing per node stats. Remove should_suppress_show_mem because we are losing potentially interesting information about allocation failures. We have seen a bug report where system gets unresponsive under memory pressure and there is only kernel: [2032243.696888] qlge 0000:8b:00.1 ql1: Could not get a page chunk, i=8, clean_idx =200 . kernel: [2032243.710725] swapper/7: page allocation failure: order:1, mode:0x1084120(GFP_ATOMIC|__GFP_COLD|__GFP_COMP) without an additional information for debugging.

psi: pressure stall information for CPU, memory, and IO When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close the system is to lockups and OOM kills. In particular, when machines work multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency and throughput on the individual job can be enormous. In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way to quantify resource pressure in the system. A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO, respectively. Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay accounting delays: cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache io: tasks are waiting for io completions These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages, and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss incurred by resource overcommit. They can also indicate when the system is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs. To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU and samples the time they spend in stall states. Every 2 seconds, the samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of walltime. A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s, 1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).

mm: rename and change semantics of nr_indirectly_reclaimable_bytes The vmstat counter NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES was introduced by commit eb59254608bc ("mm: introduce NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES") with the goal of accounting objects that can be reclaimed, but cannot be allocated via a SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT cache. This is now possible via kmalloc() with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE flag, and the dcache external names user is converted. The counter is however still useful for accounting direct page allocations (i.e. not slab) with a shrinker, such as the ION page pool. So keep it, and: - change granularity to pages to be more like other counters; sub-page allocations should be able to use kmalloc - rename the counter to NR_KERNEL_MISC_RECLAIMABLE - expose the counter again in vmstat as "nr_kernel_misc_reclaimable"; we can again remove the check for not printing "hidden" counters Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180731090649.16028-5-vbabka@suse.cz Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Acked-by: Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com> Cc: Vijayanand Jitta <vjitta@codeaurora.org> Cc: Laura Abbott <labbott@redhat.com> Cc: Sumit Semwal <sumit.semwal@linaro.org> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm/page_alloc.c: clean up check_for_memory() check_for_memory() looks a bit confusing. First of all, we have this: if (N_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY) return; Checking the ENUM declaration, looks like N_MEMORY canot be equal to N_NORMAL_MEMORY. I could not find where N_MEMORY is set to N_NORMAL_MEMORY, or the other way around either, so unless I am missing something, this condition will never evaluate to true. It makes sense to get rid of it. Moving forward, the operations within the loop look a bit confusing as well. We set N_HIGH_MEMORY unconditionally, and then we set N_NORMAL_MEMORY in case we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM (N_NORMAL_MEMORY != N_HIGH_MEMORY) and zone <= ZONE_NORMAL. (N_HIGH_MEMORY falls back to N_NORMAL_MEMORY on !CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems, and that is why we can just go ahead and set N_HIGH_MEMORY unconditionally) Although this works, it is a bit subtle. I think that this could be easier to follow: First, we should only set N_HIGH_MEMORY in case we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM. And then we should set N_NORMAL_MEMORY in case zone <= ZONE_NORMAL, without further checking whether we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM or not.

mm,page_alloc: PF_WQ_WORKER threads must sleep at should_reclaim_retry() Tetsuo Handa has reported that it is possible to bypass the short sleep for PF_WQ_WORKER threads which was introduced by commit 373ccbe5927034b5 ("mm, vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make any progress") and lock up the system if OOM. The primary reason is that WQ_MEM_RECLAIM WQs are not guaranteed to run even when they have a rescuer available. Those workers might be essential for reclaim to make a forward progress, however. If we are too unlucky all the allocations requests can get stuck waiting for a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM work item and the system is essentially stuck in an OOM condition without much hope to move on. Tetsuo has seen the reclaim stuck on drain_local_pages_wq or xlog_cil_push_work (xfs). There might be others. Since should_reclaim_retry() should be a natural reschedule point, let's do the short sleep for PF_WQ_WORKER threads unconditionally in order to guarantee that other pending work items are started. This will workaround this problem and it is less fragile than hunting down when the sleep is missed. Having a single sleeping point is more robust.

mm, sched/numa: Remove rate-limiting of automatic NUMA balancing migration Rate limiting of page migrations due to automatic NUMA balancing was introduced to mitigate the worst-case scenario of migrating at high frequency due to false sharing or slowly ping-ponging between nodes. Since then, a lot of effort was spent on correctly identifying these pages and avoiding unnecessary migrations and the safety net may no longer be required. Jirka Hladky reported a regression in 4.17 due to a scheduler patch that avoids spreading STREAM tasks wide prematurely. However, once the task was properly placed, it delayed migrating the memory due to rate limiting. Increasing the limit fixed the problem for him. Currently, the limit is hard-coded and does not account for the real capabilities of the hardware. Even if an estimate was attempted, it would not properly account for the number of memory controllers and it could not account for the amount of bandwidth used for normal accesses. Rather than fudging, this patch simply eliminates the rate limiting. However, Jirka reports that a STREAM configuration using multiple processes achieved similar performance to 4.16. In local tests, this patch improved performance of STREAM relative to the baseline but it is somewhat machine-dependent. Most workloads show little or not performance difference implying that there is not a heavily reliance on the throttling mechanism and it is safe to remove.

mm/hugetlb: filter out hugetlb pages if HUGEPAGE migration is not supported. When scanning for movable pages, filter out Hugetlb pages if hugepage migration is not supported. Without this we hit infinte loop in __offline_pages() where we do pfn = scan_movable_pages(start_pfn, end_pfn); if (pfn) { /* We have movable pages */ ret = do_migrate_range(pfn, end_pfn); goto repeat; } Fix this by checking hugepage_migration_supported both in has_unmovable_pages which is the primary backoff mechanism for page offlining and for consistency reasons also into scan_movable_pages because it doesn't make any sense to return a pfn to non-migrateable huge page.

mm: soft-offline: close the race against page allocation A process can be killed with SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AR) when it tries to allocate a page that was just freed on the way of soft-offline. This is undesirable because soft-offline (which is about corrected error) is less aggressive than hard-offline (which is about uncorrected error), and we can make soft-offline fail and keep using the page for good reason like "system is busy." Two main changes of this patch are: - setting migrate type of the target page to MIGRATE_ISOLATE. As done in free_unref_page_commit(), this makes kernel bypass pcplist when freeing the page. So we can assume that the page is in freelist just after put_page() returns, - setting PG_hwpoison on free page under zone->lock which protects freelists, so this allows us to avoid setting PG_hwpoison on a page that is decided to be allocated soon.

mm/page_alloc: Introduce free_area_init_core_hotplug Currently, whenever a new node is created/re-used from the memhotplug path, we call free_area_init_node()->free_area_init_core(). But there is some code that we do not really need to run when we are coming from such path. free_area_init_core() performs the following actions: 1) Initializes pgdat internals, such as spinlock, waitqueues and more. 2) Account # nr_all_pages and # nr_kernel_pages. These values are used later on when creating hash tables. 3) Account number of managed_pages per zone, substracting dma_reserved and memmap pages. 4) Initializes some fields of the zone structure data 5) Calls init_currently_empty_zone to initialize all the freelists 6) Calls memmap_init to initialize all pages belonging to certain zone When called from memhotplug path, free_area_init_core() only performs actions #1 and #4. Action #2 is pointless as the zones do not have any pages since either the node was freed, or we are re-using it, eitherway all zones belonging to this node should have 0 pages. For the same reason, action #3 results always in manages_pages being 0. Action #5 and #6 are performed later on when onlining the pages: online_pages()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->init_currently_empty_zone() online_pages()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->memmap_init_zone() This patch does two things: First, moves the node/zone initializtion to their own function, so it allows us to create a small version of free_area_init_core, where we only perform: 1) Initialization of pgdat internals, such as spinlock, waitqueues and more 4) Initialization of some fields of the zone structure data These two functions are: pgdat_init_internals() and zone_init_internals(). The second thing this patch does, is to introduce free_area_init_core_hotplug(), the memhotplug version of free_area_init_core(): Currently, we call free_area_init_node() from the memhotplug path. In there, we set some pgdat's fields, and call calculate_node_totalpages(). calculate_node_totalpages() calculates the # of pages the node has. Since the node is either new, or we are re-using it, the zones belonging to this node should not have any pages, so there is no point to calculate this now. Actually, we re-set these values to 0 later on with the calls to: reset_node_managed_pages() reset_node_present_pages() The # of pages per node and the # of pages per zone will be calculated when onlining the pages: online_pages()->move_pfn_range()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->resize_zone_range() online_pages()->move_pfn_range()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->resize_pgdat_range() Also, since free_area_init_core/free_area_init_node will now only get called during early init, let us replace __paginginit with __init, so their code gets freed up.

mm, page_alloc: double zone's batchsize To improve page allocator's performance for order-0 pages, each CPU has a Per-CPU-Pageset(PCP) per zone. Whenever an order-0 page is needed, PCP will be checked first before asking pages from Buddy. When PCP is used up, a batch of pages will be fetched from Buddy to improve performance and the size of batch can affect performance. zone's batch size gets doubled last time by commit ba56e91c9401("mm: page_alloc: increase size of per-cpu-pages") over ten years ago. Since then, CPU has envolved a lot and CPU's cache sizes also increased. Dave Hansen is concerned the current batch size doesn't fit well with modern hardware and suggested me to do two things: first, use a page allocator intensive benchmark, e.g. will-it-scale/page_fault1 to find out how performance changes with different batch sizes on various machines and then choose a new default batch size; second, see how this new batch size work with other workloads. In the first test, we saw performance gains on high-core-count systems and little to no effect on older systems with more modest core counts. In this phase's test data, two candidates: 63 and 127 are chosen. In the second step, ebizzy, oltp, kbuild, pigz, netperf, vm-scalability and more will-it-scale sub-tests are tested to see how these two candidates work with these workloads and decides a new default according to their results. Most test results are flat. will-it-scale/page_fault2 process mode has 10%-18% performance increase on 4-sockets Skylake and Broadwell. vm-scalability/lru-file-mmap-read has 17%-47% performance increase for 4-sockets servers while for 2-sockets servers, it caused 3%-8% performance drop. Further analysis showed that, with a larger pcp->batch and thus larger pcp->high(the relationship of pcp->high=6 * pcp->batch is maintained in this patch), zone lock contention shifted to LRU add side lock contention and that caused performance drop. This performance drop might be mitigated by others' work on optimizing LRU lock. Another downside of increasing pcp->batch is, when PCP is used up and need to fetch a batch of pages from Buddy, since batch is increased, that time can be longer than before. My understanding is, this doesn't affect slowpath where direct reclaim and compaction dominates. For fastpath, throughput is a win(according to will-it-scale/page_fault1) but worst latency can be larger now. Overall, I think double the batch size from 31 to 63 is relatively safe and provide good performance boost for high-core-count systems. The two phase's test results are listed below(all tests are done with THP disabled). Phase one(will-it-scale/page_fault1) test results: Skylake-EX: increased batch size has a good effect on zone->lock contention, though LRU contention will rise at the same time and limited the final performance increase. batch score change zone_contention lru_contention total_contention 31 15345900 +0.00% 64% 8% 72% 53 17903847 +16.67% 32% 38% 70% 63 17992886 +17.25% 24% 45% 69% 73 18022825 +17.44% 10% 61% 71% 119 18023401 +17.45% 4% 66% 70% 127 18029012 +17.48% 3% 66% 69% 137 18036075 +17.53% 4% 66% 70% 165 18035964 +17.53% 2% 67% 69% 188 18101105 +17.95% 2% 67% 69% 223 18130951 +18.15% 2% 67% 69% 255 18118898 +18.07% 2% 67% 69% 267 18101559 +17.96% 2% 67% 69% 299 18160468 +18.34% 2% 68% 70% 320 18139845 +18.21% 2% 67% 69% 393 18160869 +18.34% 2% 68% 70% 424 18170999 +18.41% 2% 68% 70% 458 18144868 +18.24% 2% 68% 70% 467 18142366 +18.22% 2% 68% 70% 498 18154549 +18.30% 1% 68% 69% 511 18134525 +18.17% 1% 69% 70% Broadwell-EX: similar pattern as Skylake-EX. batch score change zone_contention lru_contention total_contention 31 16703983 +0.00% 67% 7% 74% 53 18195393 +8.93% 43% 28% 71% 63 18288885 +9.49% 38% 33% 71% 73 18344329 +9.82% 35% 37% 72% 119 18535529 +10.96% 24% 46% 70% 127 18513596 +10.83% 23% 48% 71% 137 18514327 +10.84% 23% 48% 71% 165 18511840 +10.82% 22% 49% 71% 188 18593478 +11.31% 17% 53% 70% 223 18601667 +11.36% 17% 52% 69% 255 18774825 +12.40% 12% 58% 70% 267 18754781 +12.28% 9% 60% 69% 299 18892265 +13.10% 7% 63% 70% 320 18873812 +12.99% 8% 62% 70% 393 18891174 +13.09% 6% 64% 70% 424 18975108 +13.60% 6% 64% 70% 458 18932364 +13.34% 8% 62% 70% 467 18960891 +13.51% 5% 65% 70% 498 18944526 +13.41% 5% 64% 69% 511 18960839 +13.51% 5% 64% 69% Skylake-EP: although increased batch reduced zone->lock contention, but the effect is not as good as EX: zone->lock contention is still as high as 20% with a very high batch value instead of 1% on Skylake-EX or 5% on Broadwell-EX. Also, total_contention actually decreased with a higher batch but that doesn't translate to performance increase. batch score change zone_contention lru_contention total_contention 31 9554867 +0.00% 66% 3% 69% 53 9855486 +3.15% 63% 3% 66% 63 9980145 +4.45% 62% 4% 66% 73 10092774 +5.63% 62% 5% 67% 119 10310061 +7.90% 45% 19% 64% 127 10342019 +8.24% 42% 19% 61% 137 10358182 +8.41% 42% 21% 63% 165 10397060 +8.81% 37% 24% 61% 188 10341808 +8.24% 34% 26% 60% 223 10349135 +8.31% 31% 27% 58% 255 10327189 +8.08% 28% 29% 57% 267 10344204 +8.26% 27% 29% 56% 299 10325043 +8.06% 25% 30% 55% 320 10310325 +7.91% 25% 31% 56% 393 10293274 +7.73% 21% 31% 52% 424 10311099 +7.91% 21% 32% 53% 458 10321375 +8.02% 21% 32% 53% 467 10303881 +7.84% 21% 32% 53% 498 10332462 +8.14% 20% 33% 53% 511 10325016 +8.06% 20% 32% 52% Broadwell-EP: zone->lock and lru lock had an agreement to make sure performance doesn't increase and they successfully managed to keep total contention at 70%. batch score change zone_contention lru_contention total_contention 31 10121178 +0.00% 19% 50% 69% 53 10142366 +0.21% 6% 63% 69% 63 10117984 -0.03% 11% 58% 69% 73 10123330 +0.02% 7% 63% 70% 119 10108791 -0.12% 2% 67% 69% 127 10166074 +0.44% 3% 66% 69% 137 10141574 +0.20% 3% 66% 69% 165 10154499 +0.33% 2% 68% 70% 188 10124921 +0.04% 2% 67% 69% 223 10137399 +0.16% 2% 67% 69% 255 10143289 +0.22% 0% 68% 68% 267 10123535 +0.02% 1% 68% 69% 299 10140952 +0.20% 0% 68% 68% 320 10163170 +0.41% 0% 68% 68% 393 10000633 -1.19% 0% 69% 69% 424 10087998 -0.33% 0% 69% 69% 458 10187116 +0.65% 0% 69% 69% 467 10146790 +0.25% 0% 69% 69% 498 10197958 +0.76% 0% 69% 69% 511 10152326 +0.31% 0% 69% 69% Haswell-EP: similar to Broadwell-EP. batch score change zone_contention lru_contention total_contention 31 10442205 +0.00% 14% 48% 62% 53 10442255 +0.00% 5% 57% 62% 63 10452059 +0.09% 6% 57% 63% 73 10482349 +0.38% 5% 59% 64% 119 10454644 +0.12% 3% 60% 63% 127 10431514 -0.10% 3% 59% 62% 137 10423785 -0.18% 3% 60% 63% 165 10481216 +0.37% 2% 61% 63% 188 10448755 +0.06% 2% 61% 63% 223 10467144 +0.24% 2% 61% 63% 255 10480215 +0.36% 2% 61% 63% 267 10484279 +0.40% 2% 61% 63% 299 10466450 +0.23% 2% 61% 63% 320 10452578 +0.10% 2% 61% 63% 393 10499678 +0.55% 1% 62% 63% 424 10481454 +0.38% 1% 62% 63% 458 10473562 +0.30% 1% 62% 63% 467 10484269 +0.40% 0% 62% 62% 498 10505599 +0.61% 0% 62% 62% 511 10483395 +0.39% 0% 62% 62% Westmere-EP: contention is pretty small so not interesting.

mm: drop VM_BUG_ON from __get_free_pages There is no real reason to blow up just because the caller doesn't know that __get_free_pages cannot return highmem pages. Simply fix that up silently. Even if we have some confused users such a fixup will not be harmful.

mm, page_alloc: actually ignore mempolicies for high priority allocations __alloc_pages_slowpath() has for a long time contained code to ignore node restrictions from memory policies for high priority allocations. The current code that resets the zonelist iterator however does effectively nothing after commit 7810e6781e0f ("mm, page_alloc: do not break __GFP_THISNODE by zonelist reset") removed a buggy zonelist reset. Even before that commit, mempolicy restrictions were still not ignored, as they are passed in ac->nodemask which is untouched by the code. We can either remove the code, or make it work as intended. Since ac->nodemask can be set from task's mempolicy via alloc_pages_current() and thus also alloc_pages(), it may indeed affect kernel allocations, and it makes sense to ignore it to allow progress for high priority allocations. Thus, this patch resets ac->nodemask to NULL in such cases. This assumes all callers can handle it (i.e. there are no guarantees as in the case of __GFP_THISNODE) which seems to be the case. The same assumption is already present in check_retry_cpuset() for some time. The expected effect is that high priority kernel allocations in the context of userspace tasks (e.g. OOM victims) restricted by mempolicies will have higher chance to succeed if they are restricted to nodes with depleted memory, while there are other nodes with free memory left. It's not a new intention, but for the first time the code will match the intention, AFAICS. It was intended by commit 183f6371aac2 ("mm: ignore mempolicies when using ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK") in v3.6 but I think it never really worked, as mempolicy restriction was already encoded in nodemask, not zonelist, at that time. So originally that was for ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK only. Then it was adjusted by e46e7b77c909 ("mm, page_alloc: recalculate the preferred zoneref if the context can ignore memory policies") and cd04ae1e2dc8 ("mm, oom: do not rely on TIF_MEMDIE for memory reserves access") to the current state. So even GFP_ATOMIC would now ignore mempolicies after the initial attempts fail - if the code worked as people thought it does.

mm: skip invalid pages block at a time in zero_resv_unresv() The role of zero_resv_unavail() is to make sure that every struct page that is allocated but is not backed by memory that is accessible by kernel is zeroed and not in some uninitialized state. Since struct pages are allocated in blocks (2M pages in x86 case), we can skip pageblock_nr_pages at a time, when the first one is found to be invalid. This optimization may help since now on x86 every hole in e820 maps is marked as reserved in memblock, and thus will go through this function. This function is called before sched_clock() is initialized, so I used my x86 early boot clock patches to measure the performance improvement. With 1T hole on i7-8700 currently we would take 0.606918s of boot time, but with this optimization 0.001103s.

PM / reboot: Eliminate race between reboot and suspend At present, "systemctl suspend" and "shutdown" can run in parrallel. A system can suspend after devices_shutdown(), and resume. Then the shutdown task goes on to power off. This causes many devices are not really shut off. Hence replacing reboot_mutex with system_transition_mutex (renamed from pm_mutex) to achieve the exclusion. The renaming of pm_mutex as system_transition_mutex can be better to reflect the purpose of the mutex.

mm: Allow non-direct-map arguments to free_reserved_area() free_reserved_area() takes pointers as arguments to show which addresses should be freed. However, it does this in a somewhat ambiguous way. If it gets a kernel direct map address, it always works. However, if it gets an address that is part of the kernel image alias mapping, it can fail. It fails if all of the following happen: * The specified address is part of the kernel image alias * Poisoning is requested (forcing a memset()) * The address is in a read-only portion of the kernel image The memset() fails on the read-only mapping, of course. free_reserved_area() *is* called both on the direct map and on kernel image alias addresses. We've just lucked out thus far that the kernel image alias areas it gets used on are read-write. I'm fairly sure this has been just a happy accident. It is quite easy to make free_reserved_area() work for all cases: just convert the address to a direct map address before doing the memset(), and do this unconditionally. There is little chance of a regression here because we previously did a virt_to_page() on the address for the memset, so we know these are not highmem pages for which virt_to_page() would fail.

mm: don't do zero_resv_unavail if memmap is not allocated Moving zero_resv_unavail before memmap_init_zone(), caused a regression on x86-32. The cause is that we access struct pages before they are allocated when CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP is used. free_area_init_nodes() zero_resv_unavail() mm_zero_struct_page(pfn_to_page(pfn)); <- struct page is not alloced free_area_init_node() if CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP alloc_node_mem_map() memblock_virt_alloc_node_nopanic() <- struct page alloced here On the other hand memblock_virt_alloc_node_nopanic() zeroes all the memory that it returns, so we do not need to do zero_resv_unavail() here.

mm: zero unavailable pages before memmap init We must zero struct pages for memory that is not backed by physical memory, or kernel does not have access to. Recently, there was a change which zeroed all memmap for all holes in e820. Unfortunately, it introduced a bug that is discussed here: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg156764.html Linus, also saw this bug on his machine, and confirmed that reverting commit 124049decbb1 ("x86/e820: put !E820_TYPE_RAM regions into memblock.reserved") fixes the issue. The problem is that we incorrectly zero some struct pages after they were setup. The fix is to zero unavailable struct pages prior to initializing of struct pages. A more detailed fix should come later that would avoid double zeroing cases: one in __init_single_page(), the other one in zero_resv_unavail().

mm, page_alloc: do not break __GFP_THISNODE by zonelist reset In __alloc_pages_slowpath() we reset zonelist and preferred_zoneref for allocations that can ignore memory policies. The zonelist is obtained from current CPU's node. This is a problem for __GFP_THISNODE allocations that want to allocate on a different node, e.g. because the allocating thread has been migrated to a different CPU. This has been observed to break SLAB in our 4.4-based kernel, because there it relies on __GFP_THISNODE working as intended. If a slab page is put on wrong node's list, then further list manipulations may corrupt the list because page_to_nid() is used to determine which node's list_lock should be locked and thus we may take a wrong lock and race. Current SLAB implementation seems to be immune by luck thanks to commit 511e3a058812 ("mm/slab: make cache_grow() handle the page allocated on arbitrary node") but there may be others assuming that __GFP_THISNODE works as promised. We can fix it by simply removing the zonelist reset completely. There is actually no reason to reset it, because memory policies and cpusets don't affect the zonelist choice in the first place. This was different when commit 183f6371aac2 ("mm: ignore mempolicies when using ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK") introduced the code, as mempolicies provided their own restricted zonelists. We might consider this for 4.17 although I don't know if there's anything currently broken. SLAB is currently not affected, but in kernels older than 4.7 that don't yet have 511e3a058812 ("mm/slab: make cache_grow() handle the page allocated on arbitrary node") it is. That's at least 4.4 LTS. Older ones I'll have to check. So stable backports should be more important, but will have to be reviewed carefully, as the code went through many changes. BTW I think that also the ac->preferred_zoneref reset is currently useless if we don't also reset ac->nodemask from a mempolicy to NULL first (which we probably should for the OOM victims etc?), but I would leave that for a separate patch.

mm: split page_type out from _mapcount We're already using a union of many fields here, so stop abusing the _mapcount and make page_type its own field. That implies renaming some of the machinery that creates PageBuddy, PageBalloon and PageKmemcg; bring back the PG_buddy, PG_balloon and PG_kmemcg names. As suggested by Kirill, make page_type a bitmask. Because it starts out life as -1 (thanks to sharing the storage with _mapcount), setting a page flag means clearing the appropriate bit. This gives us space for probably twenty or so extra bits (depending how paranoid we want to be about _mapcount underflow).

lockdep: fix fs_reclaim annotation While revisiting my Btrfs swapfile series [1], I introduced a situation in which reclaim would lock i_rwsem, and even though the swapon() path clearly made GFP_KERNEL allocations while holding i_rwsem, I got no complaints from lockdep. It turns out that the rework of the fs_reclaim annotation was broken: if the current task has PF_MEMALLOC set, we don't acquire the dummy fs_reclaim lock, but when reclaiming we always check this _after_ we've just set the PF_MEMALLOC flag. In most cases, we can fix this by moving the fs_reclaim_{acquire,release}() outside of the memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore}(), althought kswapd is slightly different. After applying this, I got the expected lockdep splats. 1: https://lwn.net/Articles/625412/ Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/9f8aa70652a98e98d7c4de0fc96a4addcee13efe.1523778026.git.osandov@fb.com Fixes: d92a8cfcb37e ("locking/lockdep: Rework FS_RECLAIM annotation") Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Node1 will surely contain memmaps on the same node and those would prevent offlining to succeed. So this is arguably a configuration issue. Although one could argue that we should be more clever and rule early allocations from the zone movable. This would be correct but probably not worth the effort considering what a hack movablecore is. Anyway, We could do better for those cases though. We rely on start_isolate_page_range resp. has_unmovable_pages to do their job. The first one isolates the whole range to be offlined so that we do not allocate from it anymore and the later makes sure we are not stumbling over non-migrateable pages. has_unmovable_pages is overly optimistic, however. It doesn't check all the pages if we are withing zone_movable because we rely that those pages will be always migrateable. As it turns out we are still not perfect there. While bootmem pages in zonemovable sound like a clear bug which should be fixed let's remove the optimization for now and warn if we encounter unmovable pages in zone_movable in the meantime. That should help for now at least. Btw. this wasn't a real problem until commit 72b39cfc4d75 ("mm, memory_hotplug: do not fail offlining too early") because we used to have a small number of retries and then failed. This turned out to be too fragile though.

xen, mm: allow deferred page initialization for xen pv domains Juergen Gross noticed that commit f7f99100d8d ("mm: stop zeroing memory during allocation in vmemmap") broke XEN PV domains when deferred struct page initialization is enabled. This is because the xen's PagePinned() flag is getting erased from struct pages when they are initialized later in boot. Juergen fixed this problem by disabling deferred pages on xen pv domains. It is desirable, however, to have this feature available as it reduces boot time. This fix re-enables the feature for pv-dmains, and fixes the problem the following way: The fix is to delay setting PagePinned flag until struct pages for all allocated memory are initialized, i.e. until after free_all_bootmem(). A new x86_init.hyper op init_after_bootmem() is called to let xen know that boot allocator is done, and hence struct pages for all the allocated memory are now initialized. If deferred page initialization is enabled, the rest of struct pages are going to be initialized later in boot once page_alloc_init_late() is called. xen_after_bootmem() walks page table's pages and marks them pinned.

mm/cma: manage the memory of the CMA area by using the ZONE_MOVABLE Patch series "mm/cma: manage the memory of the CMA area by using the ZONE_MOVABLE", v2. 0. History This patchset is the follow-up of the discussion about the "Introduce ZONE_CMA (v7)" [1]. Please reference it if more information is needed. 1. What does this patch do? This patch changes the management way for the memory of the CMA area in the MM subsystem. Currently the memory of the CMA area is managed by the zone where their pfn is belong to. However, this approach has some problems since MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to handle the situation that different characteristic memories are in a single zone. To solve this issue, this patch try to manage all the memory of the CMA area by using the MOVABLE zone. In MM subsystem's point of view, characteristic of the memory on the MOVABLE zone and the memory of the CMA area are the same. So, managing the memory of the CMA area by using the MOVABLE zone will not have any problem. 2. Motivation There are some problems with current approach. See following. Although these problem would not be inherent and it could be fixed without this conception change, it requires many hooks addition in various code path and it would be intrusive to core MM and would be really error-prone. Therefore, I try to solve them with this new approach. Anyway, following is the problems of the current implementation. o CMA memory utilization First, following is the freepage calculation logic in MM. - For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage - For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage Freepages on the CMA area is used after the normal freepages in the zone where the memory of the CMA area is belong to are exhausted. At that moment that the number of the normal freepages is zero, so - For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage - For unmovable allocation: freepage = 0 If unmovable allocation comes at this moment, allocation request would fail to pass the watermark check and reclaim is started. After reclaim, there would exist the normal freepages so freepages on the CMA areas would not be used. FYI, there is another attempt [2] trying to solve this problem in lkml. And, as far as I know, Qualcomm also has out-of-tree solution for this problem. Useless reclaim: There is no logic to distinguish CMA pages in the reclaim path. Hence, CMA page is reclaimed even if the system just needs the page that can be usable for the kernel allocation. Atomic allocation failure: This is also related to the fallback allocation policy for the memory of the CMA area. Consider the situation that the number of the normal freepages is *zero* since the bunch of the movable allocation requests come. Kswapd would not be woken up due to following freepage calculation logic. - For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage If atomic unmovable allocation request comes at this moment, it would fails due to following logic. - For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage = 0 It was reported by Aneesh [3]. Useless compaction: Usual high-order allocation request is unmovable allocation request and it cannot be served from the memory of the CMA area. In compaction, migration scanner try to migrate the page in the CMA area and make high-order page there. As mentioned above, it cannot be usable for the unmovable allocation request so it's just waste. 3. Current approach and new approach Current approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the zone where their pfn is belong to. However, these memory should be distinguishable since they have a strong limitation. So, they are marked as MIGRATE_CMA in pageblock flag and handled specially. However, as mentioned in section 2, the MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to deal with this special pageblock so many problems raised. New approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the MOVABLE zone. MM already have enough logic to deal with special zone like as HIGHMEM and MOVABLE zone. So, managing the memory of the CMA area by the MOVABLE zone just naturally work well because constraints for the memory of the CMA area that the memory should always be migratable is the same with the constraint for the MOVABLE zone. There is one side-effect for the usability of the memory of the CMA area. The use of MOVABLE zone is only allowed for a request with GFP_HIGHMEM && GFP_MOVABLE so now the memory of the CMA area is also only allowed for this gfp flag. Before this patchset, a request with GFP_MOVABLE can use them. IMO, It would not be a big issue since most of GFP_MOVABLE request also has GFP_HIGHMEM flag. For example, file cache page and anonymous page. However, file cache page for blockdev file is an exception. Request for it has no GFP_HIGHMEM flag. There is pros and cons on this exception. In my experience, blockdev file cache pages are one of the top reason that causes cma_alloc() to fail temporarily. So, we can get more guarantee of cma_alloc() success by discarding this case. Note that there is no change in admin POV since this patchset is just for internal implementation change in MM subsystem. Just one minor difference for admin is that the memory stat for CMA area will be printed in the MOVABLE zone. That's all. 4. Result Following is the experimental result related to utilization problem. 8 CPUs, 1024 MB, VIRTUAL MACHINE make -j16 <Before> CMA area: 0 MB 512 MB Elapsed-time: 92.4 186.5 pswpin: 82 18647 pswpout: 160 69839 <After> CMA : 0 MB 512 MB Elapsed-time: 93.1 93.4 pswpin: 84 46 pswpout: 183 92 akpm: "kernel test robot" reported a 26% improvement in vm-scalability.throughput: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180330012721.GA3845@yexl-desktop [1]: lkml.kernel.org/r/1491880640-9944-1-git-send-email-iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com [2]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/15/623 [3]: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg100562.html Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1512114786-5085-2-git-send-email-iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com Signed-off-by: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Reviewed-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Laura Abbott <lauraa@codeaurora.org> Cc: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@samsung.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Michal Nazarewicz <mina86@mina86.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Russell King <linux@armlinux.org.uk> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm/page_alloc: don't reserve ZONE_HIGHMEM for ZONE_MOVABLE request Freepage on ZONE_HIGHMEM doesn't work for kernel memory so it's not that important to reserve. When ZONE_MOVABLE is used, this problem would theorectically cause to decrease usable memory for GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocation request which is mainly used for page cache and anon page allocation. So, fix it by setting 0 to sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[ZONE_HIGHMEM]. And, defining sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio array by MAX_NR_ZONES - 1 size makes code complex. For example, if there is highmem system, following reserve ratio is activated for *NORMAL ZONE* which would be easyily misleading people. #ifdef CONFIG_HIGHMEM 32 #endif This patch also fixes this situation by defining sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio array by MAX_NR_ZONES and place "#ifdef" to right place.

mm/page_isolation.c: make start_isolate_page_range() fail if already isolated start_isolate_page_range() is used to set the migrate type of a set of pageblocks to MIGRATE_ISOLATE while attempting to start a migration operation. It assumes that only one thread is calling it for the specified range. This routine is used by CMA, memory hotplug and gigantic huge pages. Each of these users synchronize access to the range within their subsystem. However, two subsystems (CMA and gigantic huge pages for example) could attempt operations on the same range. If this happens, one thread may 'undo' the work another thread is doing. This can result in pageblocks being incorrectly left marked as MIGRATE_ISOLATE and therefore not available for page allocation. What is ideally needed is a way to synchronize access to a set of pageblocks that are undergoing isolation and migration. The only thing we know about these pageblocks is that they are all in the same zone. A per-node mutex is too coarse as we want to allow multiple operations on different ranges within the same zone concurrently. Instead, we will use the migration type of the pageblocks themselves as a form of synchronization. start_isolate_page_range sets the migration type on a set of page- blocks going in order from the one associated with the smallest pfn to the largest pfn. The zone lock is acquired to check and set the migration type. When going through the list of pageblocks check if MIGRATE_ISOLATE is already set. If so, this indicates another thread is working on this pageblock. We know exactly which pageblocks we set, so clean up by undo those and return -EBUSY. This allows start_isolate_page_range to serve as a synchronization mechanism and will allow for more general use of callers making use of these interfaces. Update comments in alloc_contig_range to reflect this new functionality. Each CPU holds the associated zone lock to modify or examine the migration type of a pageblock. And, it will only examine/update a single pageblock per lock acquire/release cycle.

mm, page_alloc: wakeup kcompactd even if kswapd cannot free more memory Kswapd will not wakeup if per-zone watermarks are not failing or if too many previous attempts at background reclaim have failed. This can be true if there is a lot of free memory available. For high- order allocations, kswapd is responsible for waking up kcompactd for background compaction. If the zone is not below its watermarks or reclaim has recently failed (lots of free memory, nothing left to reclaim), kcompactd does not get woken up. When __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is not allowed, allow kcompactd to still be woken up even if kswapd will not reclaim. This allows high-order allocations, such as thp, to still trigger background compaction even when the zone has an abundance of free memory.

mm/free_pcppages_bulk: prefetch buddy while not holding lock When a page is freed back to the global pool, its buddy will be checked to see if it's possible to do a merge. This requires accessing buddy's page structure and that access could take a long time if it's cache cold. This patch adds a prefetch to the to-be-freed page's buddy outside of zone->lock in hope of accessing buddy's page structure later under zone->lock will be faster. Since we *always* do buddy merging and check an order-0 page's buddy to try to merge it when it goes into the main allocator, the cacheline will always come in, i.e. the prefetched data will never be unused. Normally, the number of prefetch will be pcp->batch(default=31 and has an upper limit of (PAGE_SHIFT * 8)=96 on x86_64) but in the case of pcp's pages get all drained, it will be pcp->count which has an upper limit of pcp->high. pcp->high, although has a default value of 186 (pcp->batch=31 * 6), can be changed by user through /proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_fraction and there is no software upper limit so could be large, like several thousand. For this reason, only the first pcp->batch number of page's buddy structure is prefetched to avoid excessive prefetching. In the meantime, there are two concerns: 1. the prefetch could potentially evict existing cachelines, especially for L1D cache since it is not huge 2. there is some additional instruction overhead, namely calculating buddy pfn twice For 1, it's hard to say, this microbenchmark though shows good result but the actual benefit of this patch will be workload/CPU dependant; For 2, since the calculation is a XOR on two local variables, it's expected in many cases that cycles spent will be offset by reduced memory latency later. This is especially true for NUMA machines where multiple CPUs are contending on zone->lock and the most time consuming part under zone->lock is the wait of 'struct page' cacheline of the to-be-freed pages and their buddies.

mm/free_pcppages_bulk: do not hold lock when picking pages to free When freeing a batch of pages from Per-CPU-Pages(PCP) back to buddy, the zone->lock is held and then pages are chosen from PCP's migratetype list. While there is actually no need to do this 'choose part' under lock since it's PCP pages, the only CPU that can touch them is us and irq is also disabled.

mm, page_alloc: extend kernelcore and movablecore for percent Both kernelcore= and movablecore= can be used to define the amount of ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE on a system, respectively. This requires the system memory capacity to be known when specifying the command line, however. This introduces the ability to define both kernelcore= and movablecore= as a percentage of total system memory. This is convenient for systems software that wants to define the amount of ZONE_MOVABLE, for example, as a proportion of a system's memory rather than a hardcoded byte value. To define the percentage, the final character of the parameter should be a '%'. mhocko: "why is anyone using these options nowadays?" rientjes: : : Fragmentation of non-__GFP_MOVABLE pages due to low on memory : situations can pollute most pageblocks on the system, as much as 1GB of : slab being fragmented over 128GB of memory, for example.

mm/memory_hotplug: optimize memory hotplug During memory hotplugging we traverse struct pages three times: 1. memset(0) in sparse_add_one_section() 2. loop in __add_section() to set do: set_page_node(page, nid); and SetPageReserved(page); 3. loop in memmap_init_zone() to call __init_single_pfn() This patch removes the first two loops, and leaves only loop 3. All struct pages are initialized in one place, the same as it is done during boot. The benefits: - We improve memory hotplug performance because we are not evicting the cache several times and also reduce loop branching overhead. - Remove condition from hotpath in __init_single_pfn(), that was added in order to fix the problem that was reported by Bharata in the above email thread, thus also improve performance during normal boot. - Make memory hotplug more similar to the boot memory initialization path because we zero and initialize struct pages only in one function. - Simplifies memory hotplug struct page initialization code, and thus enables future improvements, such as multi-threading the initialization of struct pages in order to improve hotplug performance even further on larger machines.

mm: initialize pages on demand during boot Deferred page initialization allows the boot cpu to initialize a small subset of the system's pages early in boot, with other cpus doing the rest later on. It is, however, problematic to know how many pages the kernel needs during boot. Different modules and kernel parameters may change the requirement, so the boot cpu either initializes too many pages or runs out of memory. To fix that, initialize early pages on demand. This ensures the kernel does the minimum amount of work to initialize pages during boot and leaves the rest to be divided in the multithreaded initialization path (deferred_init_memmap). The on-demand code is permanently disabled using static branching once deferred pages are initialized. After the static branch is changed to false, the overhead is up-to two branch-always instructions if the zone watermark check fails or if rmqueue fails. Sergey Senozhatsky noticed that while deferred pages currently make sense only on NUMA machines (we start one thread per latency node), CONFIG_NUMA is not a requirement for CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT, so that is also must be addressed in the patch.

mm: disable interrupts while initializing deferred pages Vlastimil Babka reported about a window issue during which when deferred pages are initialized, and the current version of on-demand initialization is finished, allocations may fail. While this is highly unlikely scenario, since this kind of allocation request must be large, and must come from interrupt handler, we still want to cover it. We solve this by initializing deferred pages with interrupts disabled, and holding node_size_lock spin lock while pages in the node are being initialized. The on-demand deferred page initialization that comes later will use the same lock, and thus synchronize with deferred_init_memmap(). It is unlikely for threads that initialize deferred pages to be interrupted. They run soon after smp_init(), but before modules are initialized, and long before user space programs. This is why there is no adverse effect of having these threads running with interrupts disabled.

Since __kmalloc_reserve() from __alloc_skb() adds __GFP_NOMEMALLOC | __GFP_NOWARN to gfp_mask, and all reclaim path simply propagates __GFP_NOMEMALLOC, fs_reclaim_acquire() in slab_pre_alloc_hook() is trying to grab the 'fake' lock again when __perform_reclaim() already grabbed the 'fake' lock. The /* this guy won't enter reclaim */ if ((current->flags & PF_MEMALLOC) && !(gfp_mask & __GFP_NOMEMALLOC)) return false; test which causes slab_pre_alloc_hook() to try to grab the 'fake' lock was added by commit cf40bd16fdad ("lockdep: annotate reclaim context (__GFP_NOFS)"). But that test is outdated because PF_MEMALLOC thread won't enter reclaim regardless of __GFP_NOMEMALLOC after commit 341ce06f69ab ("page allocator: calculate the alloc_flags for allocation only once") added the PF_MEMALLOC safeguard ( /* Avoid recursion of direct reclaim */ if (p->flags & PF_MEMALLOC) goto nopage; in __alloc_pages_slowpath()). Thus, let's fix outdated test by removing __GFP_NOMEMALLOC test and allow __need_fs_reclaim() to return false.

Revert "mm/page_alloc: fix memmap_init_zone pageblock alignment" This reverts commit 864b75f9d6b0100bb24fdd9a20d156e7cda9b5ae. Commit 864b75f9d6b0 ("mm/page_alloc: fix memmap_init_zone pageblock alignment") modified the logic in memmap_init_zone() to initialize struct pages associated with invalid PFNs, to appease a VM_BUG_ON() in move_freepages(), which is redundant by its own admission, and dereferences struct page fields to obtain the zone without checking whether the struct pages in question are valid to begin with. Commit 864b75f9d6b0 only makes it worse, since the rounding it does may cause pfn assume the same value it had in a prior iteration of the loop, resulting in an infinite loop and a hang very early in the boot. Also, since it doesn't perform the same rounding on start_pfn itself but only on intermediate values following an invalid PFN, we may still hit the same VM_BUG_ON() as before. So instead, let's fix this at the core, and ensure that the BUG check doesn't dereference struct page fields of invalid pages.

mm/page_alloc: fix memmap_init_zone pageblock alignment Commit b92df1de5d28 ("mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns where possible") introduced a bug where move_freepages() triggers a VM_BUG_ON() on uninitialized page structure due to pageblock alignment. To fix this, simply align the skipped pfns in memmap_init_zone() the same way as in move_freepages_block().

mm, memory_hotplug: fix memmap initialization Bharata has noticed that onlining a newly added memory doesn't increase the total memory, pointing to commit f7f99100d8d9 ("mm: stop zeroing memory during allocation in vmemmap") as a culprit. This commit has changed the way how the memory for memmaps is initialized and moves it from the allocation time to the initialization time. This works properly for the early memmap init path. It doesn't work for the memory hotplug though because we need to mark page as reserved when the sparsemem section is created and later initialize it completely during onlining. memmap_init_zone is called in the early stage of onlining. With the current code it calls __init_single_page and as such it clears up the whole stage and therefore online_pages_range skips those pages. Fix this by skipping mm_zero_struct_page in __init_single_page for memory hotplug path. This is quite uggly but unifying both early init and memory hotplug init paths is a large project. Make sure we plug the regression at least.

mm: split deferred_init_range into initializing and freeing parts In deferred_init_range() we initialize struct pages, and also free them to buddy allocator. We do it in separate loops, because buddy page is computed ahead, so we do not want to access a struct page that has not been initialized yet. There is still, however, a corner case where it is potentially possible to access uninitialized struct page: this is when buddy page is from the next memblock range. This patch fixes this problem by splitting deferred_init_range() into two functions: one to initialize struct pages, and another to free them. In addition, this patch brings the following improvements: - Get rid of __def_free() helper function. And simplifies loop logic by adding a new pfn validity check function: deferred_pfn_valid(). - Reduces number of variables that we track. So, there is a higher chance that we will avoid using stack to store/load variables inside hot loops. - Enables future multi-threading of these functions: do initialization in multiple threads, wait for all threads to finish, do freeing part in multithreading. Tested on x86 with 1T of memory to make sure no regressions are introduced.

This fixes the problem and potential other similar problems. Also as Pavel Tatashin suggested checks pfn_valid at the beginning of the section. The range is backed by real memory. The memory range is efi "Boot Service Data", that means after ExitBootServices() these ranges can be used as system ram. But some of them need to be reserved, for example the bgrt image address in an acpi table, if the image memory is freed then kexec reboot will fail because kexec inherit same acpi table to initialize the driver.

mm/page_alloc.c: avoid excessive IRQ disabled times in free_unref_page_list() Since commit 9cca35d42eb6 ("mm, page_alloc: enable/disable IRQs once when freeing a list of pages") we see excessive IRQ disabled times of up to 25ms on an embedded ARM system (tracing overhead included). This is due to graphics buffers being freed back to the system via release_pages(). Graphics buffers can be huge, so it's not hard to hit cases where the list of pages to free has 2048 entries. Disabling IRQs while freeing all those pages is clearly not a good idea. Introduce a batch limit, which allows IRQ servicing once every few pages. The batch count is the same as used in other parts of the MM subsystem when dealing with IRQ disabled regions.

mm/cma: fix alloc_contig_range ret code/potential leak If the call __alloc_contig_migrate_range() in alloc_contig_range returns -EBUSY, processing continues so that test_pages_isolated() is called where there is a tracepoint to identify the busy pages. However, it is possible for busy pages to become available between the calls to these two routines. In this case, the range of pages may be allocated. Unfortunately, the original return code (ret == -EBUSY) is still set and returned to the caller. Therefore, the caller believes the pages were not allocated and they are leaked. Update the comment to indicate that allocation is still possible even if __alloc_contig_migrate_range returns -EBUSY. Also, clear return code in this case so that it is not accidentally used or returned to caller.

mm, memory_hotplug: do not back off draining pcp free pages from kworker context drain_all_pages backs off when called from a kworker context since commit 0ccce3b92421 ("mm, page_alloc: drain per-cpu pages from workqueue context") because the original IPI based pcp draining has been replaced by a WQ based one and the check wanted to prevent from recursion and inter workers dependencies. This has made some sense at the time because the system WQ has been used and one worker holding the lock could be blocked while waiting for new workers to emerge which can be a problem under OOM conditions. Since then commit ce612879ddc7 ("mm: move pcp and lru-pcp draining into single wq") has moved draining to a dedicated (mm_percpu_wq) WQ with a rescuer so we shouldn't depend on any other WQ activity to make a forward progress so calling drain_all_pages from a worker context is safe as long as this doesn't happen from mm_percpu_wq itself which is not the case because all workers are required to _not_ depend on any MM locks. Why is this a problem in the first place? ACPI driven memory hot-remove (acpi_device_hotplug) is executed from the worker context. We end up calling __offline_pages to free all the pages and that requires both lru_add_drain_all_cpuslocked and drain_all_pages to do their job otherwise we can have dangling pages on pcp lists and fail the offline operation (__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock would see a page with 0 ref count but without PageBuddy set). Fix the issue by removing the worker check in drain_all_pages. lru_add_drain_all_cpuslocked doesn't have this restriction so it works as expected.

mm, compaction: split off flag for not updating skip hints Pageblock skip hints were added as a heuristic for compaction, which shares core code with CMA. Since CMA reliability would suffer from the heuristics, compact_control flag ignore_skip_hint was added for the CMA use case. Since 6815bf3f233e ("mm/compaction: respect ignore_skip_hint in update_pageblock_skip") the flag also means that CMA won't *update* the skip hints in addition to ignoring them. Today, direct compaction can also ignore the skip hints in the last resort attempt, but there's no reason not to set them when isolation fails in such case. Thus, this patch splits off a new no_set_skip_hint flag to avoid the updating, which only CMA sets. This should improve the heuristics a bit, and allow us to simplify the persistent skip bit handling as the next step.

mm: make alloc_node_mem_map a void call if we don't have CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP free_area_init_node() calls alloc_node_mem_map(), but this function does nothing unless we have CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP. As a cleanup, we can move the "#ifdef CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP" within alloc_node_mem_map() out of the function, and define a alloc_node_mem_map() { } when CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP is not present. This also moves the printk that lays within the "#ifdef CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP" block from free_area_init_node() to alloc_node_mem_map(), getting rid of the "#ifdef CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP" in free_area_init_node().

mm: simplify nodemask printing alloc_warn() and dump_header() have to explicitly handle NULL nodemask which forces both paths to use pr_cont. We can do better. printk already handles NULL pointers properly so all we need is to teach nodemask_pr_args to handle NULL nodemask carefully. This allows simplification of both alloc_warn() and dump_header() and gets rid of pr_cont altogether. This patch has been motivated by patch from Joe Perches http://lkml.kernel.org/r/b31236dfe3fc924054fd7842bde678e71d193638.1509991345.git.joe@perches.com [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix tile warning, per Arnd] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171109100531.3cn2hcqnuj7mjaju@dhcp22.suse.cz Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Acked-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm/page_alloc.c: broken deferred calculation In reset_deferred_meminit() we determine number of pages that must not be deferred. We initialize pages for at least 2G of memory, but also pages for reserved memory in this node. The reserved memory is determined in this function: memblock_reserved_memory_within(), which operates over physical addresses, and returns size in bytes. However, reset_deferred_meminit() assumes that that this function operates with pfns, and returns page count. The result is that in the best case machine boots slower than expected due to initializing more pages than needed in single thread, and in the worst case panics because fewer than needed pages are initialized early.

mm: don't warn about allocations which stall for too long Commit 63f53dea0c98 ("mm: warn about allocations which stall for too long") was a great step for reducing possibility of silent hang up problem caused by memory allocation stalls. But this commit reverts it, for it is possible to trigger OOM lockup and/or soft lockups when many threads concurrently called warn_alloc() (in order to warn about memory allocation stalls) due to current implementation of printk(), and it is difficult to obtain useful information due to limitation of synchronous warning approach. Current printk() implementation flushes all pending logs using the context of a thread which called console_unlock(). printk() should be able to flush all pending logs eventually unless somebody continues appending to printk() buffer. Since warn_alloc() started appending to printk() buffer while waiting for oom_kill_process() to make forward progress when oom_kill_process() is processing pending logs, it became possible for warn_alloc() to force oom_kill_process() loop inside printk(). As a result, warn_alloc() significantly increased possibility of preventing oom_kill_process() from making forward progress. ---------- Pseudo code start ---------- Before warn_alloc() was introduced: retry: if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) { while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) { atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs); print_one_log(); } // Send SIGKILL here. mutex_unlock(&oom_lock) } goto retry; After warn_alloc() was introduced: retry: if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) { while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) { atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs); print_one_log(); } // Send SIGKILL here. mutex_unlock(&oom_lock) } else if (waited_for_10seconds()) { atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs); } goto retry; ---------- Pseudo code end ---------- Although waited_for_10seconds() becomes true once per 10 seconds, unbounded number of threads can call waited_for_10seconds() at the same time. Also, since threads doing waited_for_10seconds() keep doing almost busy loop, the thread doing print_one_log() can use little CPU resource. Therefore, this situation can be simplified like ---------- Pseudo code start ---------- retry: if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) { while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) { atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs); print_one_log(); } // Send SIGKILL here. mutex_unlock(&oom_lock) } else { atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs); } goto retry; ---------- Pseudo code end ---------- when printk() is called faster than print_one_log() can process a log. One of possible mitigation would be to introduce a new lock in order to make sure that no other series of printk() (either oom_kill_process() or warn_alloc()) can append to printk() buffer when one series of printk() (either oom_kill_process() or warn_alloc()) is already in progress. Such serialization will also help obtaining kernel messages in readable form. ---------- Pseudo code start ---------- retry: if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) { mutex_lock(&oom_printk_lock); while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) { atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs); print_one_log(); } // Send SIGKILL here. mutex_unlock(&oom_printk_lock); mutex_unlock(&oom_lock) } else { if (mutex_trylock(&oom_printk_lock)) { atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs); mutex_unlock(&oom_printk_lock); } } goto retry; ---------- Pseudo code end ---------- But this commit does not go that direction, for we don't want to introduce a new lock dependency, and we unlikely be able to obtain useful information even if we serialized oom_kill_process() and warn_alloc(). Synchronous approach is prone to unexpected results (e.g. too late [1], too frequent [2], overlooked [3]). As far as I know, warn_alloc() never helped with providing information other than "something is going wrong". I want to consider asynchronous approach which can obtain information during stalls with possibly relevant threads (e.g. the owner of oom_lock and kswapd-like threads) and serve as a trigger for actions (e.g. turn on/off tracepoints, ask libvirt daemon to take a memory dump of stalling KVM guest for diagnostic purpose). This commit temporarily loses ability to report e.g. OOM lockup due to unable to invoke the OOM killer due to !__GFP_FS allocation request. But asynchronous approach will be able to detect such situation and emit warning. Thus, let's remove warn_alloc().

mm, page_alloc: fix potential false positive in __zone_watermark_ok Since commit 97a16fc82a7c ("mm, page_alloc: only enforce watermarks for order-0 allocations"), __zone_watermark_ok() check for high-order allocations will shortcut per-migratetype free list checks for ALLOC_HARDER allocations, and return true as long as there's free page of any migratetype. The intention is that ALLOC_HARDER can allocate from MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC free lists, while normal allocations can't. However, as a side effect, the watermark check will then also return true when there are pages only on the MIGRATE_ISOLATE list, or (prior to CMA conversion to ZONE_MOVABLE) on the MIGRATE_CMA list. Since the allocation cannot actually obtain isolated pages, and might not be able to obtain CMA pages, this can result in a false positive. The condition should be rare and perhaps the outcome is not a fatal one. Still, it's better if the watermark check is correct. There also shouldn't be a performance tradeoff here.

mm, sysctl: make NUMA stats configurable This is the second step which introduces a tunable interface that allow numa stats configurable for optimizing zone_statistics(), as suggested by Dave Hansen and Ying Huang. ========================================================================= When page allocation performance becomes a bottleneck and you can tolerate some possible tool breakage and decreased numa counter precision, you can do: echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat In this case, numa counter update is ignored. We can see about *4.8%*(185->176) drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's page_bench01 (single thread) and *8.1%*(343->315) drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's page_bench03 (88 threads) running on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based server (88 threads, 126G memory). Benchmark link provided by Jesper D Brouer (increase loop times to 10000000): https://github.com/netoptimizer/prototype-kernel/tree/master/kernel/mm/bench ========================================================================= When page allocation performance is not a bottleneck and you want all tooling to work, you can do: echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat This is system default setting.

mm, page_alloc: simplify list handling in rmqueue_bulk() rmqueue_bulk() fills an empty pcplist with pages from the free list. It tries to preserve increasing order by pfn to the caller, because it leads to better performance with some I/O controllers, as explained in commit e084b2d95e48 ("page-allocator: preserve PFN ordering when __GFP_COLD is set"). To preserve the order, it's sufficient to add pages to the tail of the list as they are retrieved. The current code instead adds to the head of the list, but then updates the list head pointer to the last added page, in each step. This does result in the same order, but is needlessly confusing and potentially wasteful, with no apparent benefit. This patch simplifies the code and adjusts comment accordingly.

mm: remove __GFP_COLD As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that allocation requests can take advantage of. Juding from the users of __GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying other sites instead of actually measuring the impact. Remove the __GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page allocator. This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu list can often fit in the L3 cache. Hence, there is only a potential benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop. It's even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway. The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the allocation path and not the free path. A page fault microbenchmark was tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the fault path.

mm: remove cold parameter from free_hot_cold_page* Most callers users of free_hot_cold_page claim the pages being released are cache hot. The exception is the page reclaim paths where it is likely that enough pages will be freed in the near future that the per-cpu lists are going to be recycled and the cache hotness information is lost. As no one really cares about the hotness of pages being released to the allocator, just ditch the parameter. The APIs are renamed to indicate that it's no longer about hot/cold pages. It should also be less confusing as there are subtle differences between them. __free_pages drops a reference and frees a page when the refcount reaches zero. free_hot_cold_page handled pages whose refcount was already zero which is non-obvious from the name. free_unref_page should be more obvious. No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal. The parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless parameter copied everywhere.

mm, page_alloc: enable/disable IRQs once when freeing a list of pages Patch series "Follow-up for speed up page cache truncation", v2. This series is a follow-on for Jan Kara's series "Speed up page cache truncation" series. We both ended up looking at the same problem but saw different problems based on the same data. This series builds upon his work. A variety of workloads were compared on four separate machines but each machine showed gains albeit at different levels. Minimally, some of the differences are due to NUMA where truncating data from a remote node is slower than a local node. The workloads checked were o sparse truncate microbenchmark, tiny o sparse truncate microbenchmark, large o reaim-io disk workfile o dbench4 (modified by mmtests to produce more stable results) o filebench varmail configuration for small memory size o bonnie, directory operations, working set size 2*RAM reaim-io, dbench and filebench all showed minor gains. Truncation does not dominate those workloads but were tested to ensure no other regressions. They will not be reported further. The sparse truncate microbench was written by Jan. It creates a number of files and then times how long it takes to truncate each one. The "tiny" configuraiton creates a number of files that easily fits in memory and times how long it takes to truncate files with page cache. The large configuration uses enough files to have data that is twice the size of memory and so timings there include truncating page cache and working set shadow entries in the radix tree. Patches 1-4 are the most relevant parts of this series. Patches 5-8 are optional as they are deleting code that is essentially useless but has a negligible performance impact. The changelogs have more information on performance but just for bonnie delete options, the main comparison is bonnie 4.14.0-rc5 4.14.0-rc5 4.14.0-rc5 jan-v2 vanilla mel-v2 Hmean SeqCreate ops 76.20 ( 0.00%) 75.80 ( -0.53%) 76.80 ( 0.79%) Hmean SeqCreate read 85.00 ( 0.00%) 85.00 ( 0.00%) 85.00 ( 0.00%) Hmean SeqCreate del 13752.31 ( 0.00%) 12090.23 ( -12.09%) 15304.84 ( 11.29%) Hmean RandCreate ops 76.00 ( 0.00%) 75.60 ( -0.53%) 77.00 ( 1.32%) Hmean RandCreate read 96.80 ( 0.00%) 96.80 ( 0.00%) 97.00 ( 0.21%) Hmean RandCreate del 13233.75 ( 0.00%) 11525.35 ( -12.91%) 14446.61 ( 9.16%) Jan's series is the baseline and the vanilla kernel is 12% slower where as this series on top gains another 11%. This is from a different machine than the data in the changelogs but the detailed data was not collected as there was no substantial change in v2.

This patch splits freeing a list of pages into two operations -- preparing the pages for freeing and the actual freeing.

mm/page_alloc: make sure __rmqueue() etc are always inline __rmqueue(), __rmqueue_fallback(), __rmqueue_smallest() and __rmqueue_cma_fallback() are all in page allocator's hot path and better be finished as soon as possible. One way to make them faster is by making them inline. But as Andrew Morton and Andi Kleen pointed out: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/10/1252 https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/10/1279 To make sure they are inlined, we should use __always_inline for them. With the will-it-scale/page_fault1/process benchmark, when using nr_cpu processes to stress buddy, the results for will-it-scale.processes with and without the patch are: On a 2-sockets Intel-Skylake machine: compiler base head gcc-4.4.7 6496131 6911823 +6.4% gcc-4.9.4 7225110 7731072 +7.0% gcc-5.4.1 7054224 7688146 +9.0% gcc-6.2.0 7059794 7651675 +8.4% On a 4-sockets Intel-Skylake machine: compiler base head gcc-4.4.7 13162890 13508193 +2.6% gcc-4.9.4 14997463 15484353 +3.2% gcc-5.4.1 14708711 15449805 +5.0% gcc-6.2.0 14574099 15349204 +5.3% The above 4 compilers are used because I've done the tests through Intel's Linux Kernel Performance(LKP) infrastructure and they are the available compilers there. The benefit being less on 4 sockets machine is due to the lock contention there(perf-profile/native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath=81%) is less severe than on the 2 sockets machine(85%). What the benchmark does is: it forks nr_cpu processes and then each process does the following: 1 mmap() 128M anonymous space; 2 writes to each page there to trigger actual page allocation; 3 munmap() it. in a loop. https://github.com/antonblanchard/will-it-scale/blob/master/tests/page_fault1.c Binary size wise, I have locally built them with different compilers: [aaron@aaronlu obj]$ size */*/mm/page_alloc.o text data bss dec hex filename 37409 9904 8524 55837 da1d gcc-4.9.4/base/mm/page_alloc.o 38273 9904 8524 56701 dd7d gcc-4.9.4/head/mm/page_alloc.o 37465 9840 8428 55733 d9b5 gcc-5.5.0/base/mm/page_alloc.o 38169 9840 8428 56437 dc75 gcc-5.5.0/head/mm/page_alloc.o 37573 9840 8428 55841 da21 gcc-6.4.0/base/mm/page_alloc.o 38261 9840 8428 56529 dcd1 gcc-6.4.0/head/mm/page_alloc.o 36863 9840 8428 55131 d75b gcc-7.2.0/base/mm/page_alloc.o 37711 9840 8428 55979 daab gcc-7.2.0/head/mm/page_alloc.o Text size increased about 800 bytes for mm/page_alloc.o.

mm: stop zeroing memory during allocation in vmemmap vmemmap_alloc_block() will no longer zero the block, so zero memory at its call sites for everything except struct pages. Struct page memory is zero'd by struct page initialization. Replace allocators in sparse-vmemmap to use the non-zeroing version. So, we will get the performance improvement by zeroing the memory in parallel when struct pages are zeroed.

mm: zero reserved and unavailable struct pages Some memory is reserved but unavailable: not present in memblock.memory (because not backed by physical pages), but present in memblock.reserved. Such memory has backing struct pages, but they are not initialized by going through __init_single_page(). In some cases these struct pages are accessed even if they do not contain any data. One example is page_to_pfn() might access page->flags if this is where section information is stored (CONFIG_SPARSEMEM, SECTION_IN_PAGE_FLAGS). One example of such memory: trim_low_memory_range() unconditionally reserves from pfn 0, but e820__memblock_setup() might provide the exiting memory from pfn 1 (i.e. KVM). Since struct pages are zeroed in __init_single_page(), and not during allocation time, we must zero such struct pages explicitly. The patch involves adding a new memblock iterator: for_each_resv_unavail_range(i, p_start, p_end) Which iterates through reserved && !memory lists, and we zero struct pages explicitly by calling mm_zero_struct_page(). === Here is more detailed example of problem that this patch is addressing: Run tested on qemu with the following arguments: -enable-kvm -cpu kvm64 -m 512 -smp 2 This patch reports that there are 98 unavailable pages. They are: pfn 0 and pfns in range [159, 255]. Note, trim_low_memory_range() reserves only pfns in range [0, 15], it does not reserve [159, 255] ones. e820__memblock_setup() reports linux that the following physical ranges are available: [1 , 158] [256, 130783] Notice, that exactly unavailable pfns are missing! Now, lets check what we have in zone 0: [1, 131039] pfn 0, is not part of the zone, but pfns [1, 158], are. However, the bigger problem we have if we do not initialize these struct pages is with memory hotplug. Because, that path operates at 2M boundaries (section_nr). And checks if 2M range of pages is hot removable. It starts with first pfn from zone, rounds it down to 2M boundary (sturct pages are allocated at 2M boundaries when vmemmap is created), and checks if that section is hot removable. In this case start with pfn 1 and convert it down to pfn 0. Later pfn is converted to struct page, and some fields are checked. Now, if we do not zero struct pages, we get unpredictable results. In fact when CONFIG_VM_DEBUG is enabled, and we explicitly set all vmemmap memory to ones, the following panic is observed with kernel test without this patch applied: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: is_pageblock_removable_nolock+0x35/0x90 PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT ... task: ffff88001f4e2900 task.stack: ffffc90000314000 RIP: 0010:is_pageblock_removable_nolock+0x35/0x90 Call Trace: ? is_mem_section_removable+0x5a/0xd0 show_mem_removable+0x6b/0xa0 dev_attr_show+0x1b/0x50 sysfs_kf_seq_show+0xa1/0x100 kernfs_seq_show+0x22/0x30 seq_read+0x1ac/0x3a0 kernfs_fop_read+0x36/0x190 ? security_file_permission+0x90/0xb0 __vfs_read+0x16/0x30 vfs_read+0x81/0x130 SyS_read+0x44/0xa0 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1f/0xbd Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171013173214.27300-7-pasha.tatashin@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Steven Sistare <steven.sistare@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Jordan <daniel.m.jordan@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Bob Picco <bob.picco@oracle.com> Tested-by: Bob Picco <bob.picco@oracle.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Alexander Potapenko <glider@google.com> Cc: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com> Cc: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Cc: David S.

mm: deferred_init_memmap improvements Patch series "complete deferred page initialization", v12. SMP machines can benefit from the DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT config option, which defers initializing struct pages until all cpus have been started so it can be done in parallel. However, this feature is sub-optimal, because the deferred page initialization code expects that the struct pages have already been zeroed, and the zeroing is done early in boot with a single thread only. Also, we access that memory and set flags before struct pages are initialized. All of this is fixed in this patchset. In this work we do the following: - Never read access struct page until it was initialized - Never set any fields in struct pages before they are initialized - Zero struct page at the beginning of struct page initialization ========================================================================== Performance improvements on x86 machine with 8 nodes: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E7-8895 v3 @ 2.60GHz and 1T of memory: TIME SPEED UP base no deferred: 95.796233s fix no deferred: 79.978956s 19.77% base deferred: 77.254713s fix deferred: 55.050509s 40.34% ========================================================================== SPARC M6 3600 MHz with 15T of memory TIME SPEED UP base no deferred: 358.335727s fix no deferred: 302.320936s 18.52% base deferred: 237.534603s fix deferred: 182.103003s 30.44% ========================================================================== Raw dmesg output with timestamps: x86 base no deferred: https://hastebin.com/ofunepurit.scala x86 base deferred: https://hastebin.com/ifazegeyas.scala x86 fix no deferred: https://hastebin.com/pegocohevo.scala x86 fix deferred: https://hastebin.com/ofupevikuk.scala sparc base no deferred: https://hastebin.com/ibobeteken.go sparc base deferred: https://hastebin.com/fariqimiyu.go sparc fix no deferred: https://hastebin.com/muhegoheyi.go sparc fix deferred: https://hastebin.com/xadinobutu.go This patch (of 11): deferred_init_memmap() is called when struct pages are initialized later in boot by slave CPUs. This patch simplifies and optimizes this function, and also fixes a couple issues (described below). The main change is that now we are iterating through free memblock areas instead of all configured memory. Thus, we do not have to check if the struct page has already been initialized. ===== In deferred_init_memmap() where all deferred struct pages are initialized we have a check like this: if (page->flags) { VM_BUG_ON(page_zone(page) != zone); goto free_range; } This way we are checking if the current deferred page has already been initialized. It works, because memory for struct pages has been zeroed, and the only way flags are not zero if it went through __init_single_page() before. But, once we change the current behavior and won't zero the memory in memblock allocator, we cannot trust anything inside "struct page"es until they are initialized. This patch fixes this. The deferred_init_memmap() is re-written to loop through only free memory ranges provided by memblock. Note, this first issue is relevant only when the following change is merged: ===== This patch fixes another existing issue on systems that have holes in zones i.e CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is defined. In for_each_mem_pfn_range() we have code like this: if (!pfn_valid_within(pfn) goto free_range; Note: 'page' is not set to NULL and is not incremented but 'pfn' advances. Thus means if deferred struct pages are enabled on systems with these kind of holes, linux would get memory corruptions. I have fixed this issue by defining a new macro that performs all the necessary operations when we free the current set of pages.

kmemcheck: remove annotations Patch series "kmemcheck: kill kmemcheck", v2. As discussed at LSF/MM, kill kmemcheck. KASan is a replacement that is able to work without the limitation of kmemcheck (single CPU, slow). KASan is already upstream. We are also not aware of any users of kmemcheck (or users who don't consider KASan as a suitable replacement). The only objection was that since KASAN wasn't supported by all GCC versions provided by distros at that time we should hold off for 2 years, and try again. Now that 2 years have passed, and all distros provide gcc that supports KASAN, kill kmemcheck again for the very same reasons.

mm, page_alloc: fail has_unmovable_pages when seeing reserved pages Reserved pages should be completely ignored by the core mm because they have a special meaning for their owners. has_unmovable_pages doesn't check those so we rely on other tests (reference count, or PageLRU) to fail on such pages. Althought this happens to work it is safer to simply check for those explicitly and do not rely on the owner of the page to abuse those fields for special purposes. Please note that this is more of a further fortification of the code rahter than a fix of an existing issue.

mm: distinguish CMA and MOVABLE isolation in has_unmovable_pages() Joonsoo has noticed that "mm: drop migrate type checks from has_unmovable_pages" would break CMA allocator because it relies on has_unmovable_pages returning false even for CMA pageblocks which in fact don't have to be movable: alloc_contig_range start_isolate_page_range set_migratetype_isolate has_unmovable_pages This is a result of the code sharing between CMA and memory hotplug while each one has a different idea of what has_unmovable_pages should return. This is unfortunate but fixing it properly would require a lot of code duplication. Fix the issue by introducing the requested migrate type argument and special case MIGRATE_CMA case where CMA page blocks are handled properly. This will work for memory hotplug because it requires MIGRATE_MOVABLE.

mm: drop migrate type checks from has_unmovable_pages Michael has noticed that the memory offline tries to migrate kernel code pages when doing echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory0/online The current implementation will fail the operation after several failed page migration attempts but we shouldn't even attempt to migrate that memory and fail right away because this memory is clearly not migrateable. This will become a real problem when we drop the retry loop counter resp. timeout. The real problem is in has_unmovable_pages in fact. We should fail if there are any non migrateable pages in the area. In orther to guarantee that remove the migrate type checks because MIGRATE_MOVABLE is not guaranteed to contain only migrateable pages. It is merely a heuristic. Similarly MIGRATE_CMA does guarantee that the page allocator doesn't allocate any non-migrateable pages from the block but CMA allocations themselves are unlikely to migrateable. Therefore remove both checks.

mm: change the call sites of numa statistics items Patch series "Separate NUMA statistics from zone statistics", v2. Each page allocation updates a set of per-zone statistics with a call to zone_statistics(). As discussed in 2017 MM summit, these are a substantial source of overhead in the page allocator and are very rarely consumed. This significant overhead in cache bouncing caused by zone counters (NUMA associated counters) update in parallel in multi-threaded page allocation (pointed out by Dave Hansen). A link to the MM summit slides: http://people.netfilter.org/hawk/presentations/MM-summit2017/MM-summit2017-JesperBrouer.pdf To mitigate this overhead, this patchset separates NUMA statistics from zone statistics framework, and update NUMA counter threshold to a fixed size of MAX_U16 - 2, as a small threshold greatly increases the update frequency of the global counter from local per cpu counter (suggested by Ying Huang). The rationality is that these statistics counters don't need to be read often, unlike other VM counters, so it's not a problem to use a large threshold and make readers more expensive. With this patchset, we see 31.3% drop of CPU cycles(537-->369, see below) for per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's page_bench03 benchmark. Meanwhile, this patchset keeps the same style of virtual memory statistics with little end-user-visible effects (only move the numa stats to show behind zone page stats, see the first patch for details). I did an experiment of single page allocation and reclaim concurrently using Jesper's page_bench03 benchmark on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based server (88 processors with 126G memory) with different size of threshold of pcp counter.

mm, oom: do not rely on TIF_MEMDIE for memory reserves access For ages we have been relying on TIF_MEMDIE thread flag to mark OOM victims and then, among other things, to give these threads full access to memory reserves. There are few shortcomings of this implementation, though. First of all and the most serious one is that the full access to memory reserves is quite dangerous because we leave no safety room for the system to operate and potentially do last emergency steps to move on. Secondly this flag is per task_struct while the OOM killer operates on mm_struct granularity so all processes sharing the given mm are killed. Giving the full access to all these task_structs could lead to a quick memory reserves depletion. We have tried to reduce this risk by giving TIF_MEMDIE only to the main thread and the currently allocating task but that doesn't really solve this problem while it surely opens up a room for corner cases - e.g. GFP_NO{FS,IO} requests might loop inside the allocator without access to memory reserves because a particular thread was not the group leader. Now that we have the oom reaper and that all oom victims are reapable after 1b51e65eab64 ("oom, oom_reaper: allow to reap mm shared by the kthreads") we can be more conservative and grant only partial access to memory reserves because there are reasonable chances of the parallel memory freeing. We still want some access to reserves because we do not want other consumers to eat up the victim's freed memory. oom victims will still contend with __GFP_HIGH users but those shouldn't be so aggressive to starve oom victims completely. Introduce ALLOC_OOM flag and give all tsk_is_oom_victim tasks access to the half of the reserves. This makes the access to reserves independent on which task has passed through mark_oom_victim. Also drop any usage of TIF_MEMDIE from the page allocator proper and replace it by tsk_is_oom_victim as well which will make page_alloc.c completely TIF_MEMDIE free finally. CONFIG_MMU=n doesn't have oom reaper so let's stick to the original ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS approach. There is a demand to make the oom killer memcg aware which will imply many tasks killed at once. This change will allow such a usecase without worrying about complete memory reserves depletion.

mm, memory_hotplug: get rid of zonelists_mutex zonelists_mutex was introduced by commit 4eaf3f64397c ("mem-hotplug: fix potential race while building zonelist for new populated zone") to protect zonelist building from races. This is no longer needed though because both memory online and offline are fully serialized. New users have grown since then. Notably setup_per_zone_wmarks wants to prevent from races between memory hotplug, khugepaged setup and manual min_free_kbytes update via sysctl (see cfd3da1e49bb ("mm: Serialize access to min_free_kbytes"). Let's add a private lock for that purpose. This will not prevent from seeing halfway through memory hotplug operation but that shouldn't be a big deal becuse memory hotplug will update watermarks explicitly so we will eventually get a full picture. The lock just makes sure we won't race when updating watermarks leading to weird results. Also __build_all_zonelists manipulates global data so add a private lock for it as well. This doesn't seem to be necessary today but it is more robust to have a lock there. While we are at it make sure we document that memory online/offline depends on a full serialization either via mem_hotplug_begin() or device_lock.

mm, page_alloc: remove stop_machine from build_all_zonelists build_all_zonelists has been (ab)using stop_machine to make sure that zonelists do not change while somebody is looking at them. This is is just a gross hack because a) it complicates the context from which we can call build_all_zonelists (see 3f906ba23689 ("mm/memory-hotplug: switch locking to a percpu rwsem")) and b) is is not really necessary especially after "mm, page_alloc: simplify zonelist initialization" and c) it doesn't really provide the protection it claims (see below). Updates of the zonelists happen very seldom, basically only when a zone becomes populated during memory online or when it loses all the memory during offline. A racing iteration over zonelists could either miss a zone or try to work on one zone twice. Both of these are something we can live with occasionally because there will always be at least one zone visible so we are not likely to fail allocation too easily for example. Please note that the original stop_machine approach doesn't really provide a better exclusion because the iteration might be interrupted half way (unless the whole iteration is preempt disabled which is not the case in most cases) so the some zones could still be seen twice or a zone missed. I have run the pathological online/offline of the single memblock in the movable zone while stressing the same small node with some memory pressure.

mm, page_alloc: simplify zonelist initialization build_zonelists gradually builds zonelists from the nearest to the most distant node. As we do not know how many populated zones we will have in each node we rely on the _zoneref to terminate initialized part of the zonelist by a NULL zone. While this is functionally correct it is quite suboptimal because we cannot allow updaters to race with zonelists users because they could see an empty zonelist and fail the allocation or hit the OOM killer in the worst case. We can do much better, though. We can store the node ordering into an already existing node_order array and then give this array to build_zonelists_in_node_order and do the whole initialization at once. zonelists consumers still might see halfway initialized state but that should be much more tolerateable because the list will not be empty and they would either see some zone twice or skip over some zone(s) in the worst case which shouldn't lead to immediate failures. While at it let's simplify build_zonelists_node which is rather confusing now. It gets an index into the zoneref array and returns the updated index for the next iteration. Let's rename the function to build_zonerefs_node to better reflect its purpose and give it zoneref array to update. The function doesn't the index anymore. It just returns the number of added zones so that the caller can advance the zonered array start for the next update. This patch alone doesn't introduce any functional change yet, though, it is merely a preparatory work for later changes.

mm, memory_hotplug: drop zone from build_all_zonelists build_all_zonelists gets a zone parameter to initialize zone's pagesets. There is only a single user which gives a non-NULL zone parameter and that one doesn't really need the rest of the build_all_zonelists (see commit 6dcd73d7011b ("memory-hotplug: allocate zone's pcp before onlining pages")). Therefore remove setup_zone_pageset from build_all_zonelists and call it from its only user directly. This will also remove a pointless zonlists rebuilding which is always good.

mm, page_alloc: do not set_cpu_numa_mem on empty nodes initialization __build_all_zonelists reinitializes each online cpu local node for CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES. This makes sense because previously memory less nodes could gain some memory during memory hotplug and so the local node should be changed for CPUs close to such a node. It makes less sense to do that unconditionally for a newly creaded NUMA node which is still offline and without any memory. Let's also simplify the cpu loop and use for_each_online_cpu instead of an explicit cpu_online check for all possible cpus.

mm, page_alloc: rip out ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE Patch series "cleanup zonelists initialization", v1. This is aimed at cleaning up the zonelists initialization code we have but the primary motivation was bug report [2] which got resolved but the usage of stop_machine is just too ugly to live. Most patches are straightforward but 3 of them need a special consideration. Patch 1 removes zone ordered zonelists completely. I am CCing linux-api because this is a user visible change. As I argue in the patch description I do not think we have a strong usecase for it these days. I have kept sysctl in place and warn into the log if somebody tries to configure zone lists ordering. If somebody has a real usecase for it we can revert this patch but I do not expect anybody will actually notice runtime differences. This patch is not strictly needed for the rest but it made patch 6 easier to implement. Patch 7 removes stop_machine from build_all_zonelists without adding any special synchronization between iterators and updater which I _believe_ is acceptable as explained in the changelog. I hope I am not missing anything. Patch 8 then removes zonelists_mutex which is kind of ugly as well and not really needed AFAICS but a care should be taken when double checking my thinking. This patch (of 9): Supporting zone ordered zonelists costs us just a lot of code while the usefulness is arguable if existent at all. Mel has already made node ordering default on 64b systems. 32b systems are still using ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE because it is considered better to fallback to a different NUMA node rather than consume precious lowmem zones. This argument is, however, weaken by the fact that the memory reclaim has been reworked to be node rather than zone oriented. This means that lowmem requests have to skip over all highmem pages on LRUs already and so zone ordering doesn't save the reclaim time much. So the only advantage of the zone ordering is under a light memory pressure when highmem requests do not ever hit into lowmem zones and the lowmem pressure doesn't need to reclaim. Considering that 32b NUMA systems are rather suboptimal already and it is generally advisable to use 64b kernel on such a HW I believe we should rather care about the code maintainability and just get rid of ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE altogether. Keep systcl in place and warn if somebody tries to set zone ordering either from kernel command line or the sysctl.

mm/memory_hotplug: just build zonelist for newly added node Commit 9adb62a5df9c ("mm/hotplug: correctly setup fallback zonelists when creating new pgdat") tries to build the correct zonelist for a newly added node, while it is not necessary to rebuild it for already exist nodes. In build_zonelists(), it will iterate on nodes with memory. For a newly added node, it will have memory until node_states_set_node() is called in online_pages(). This patch avoids rebuilding the zonelists for already existing nodes. build_zonelists_node() uses managed_zone(zone) checks, so it should not include empty zones anyway. So effectively we avoid some pointless work under stop_machine().

mm: discard memblock data later There is existing use after free bug when deferred struct pages are enabled: The memblock_add() allocates memory for the memory array if more than 128 entries are needed. See comment in e820__memblock_setup(): * The bootstrap memblock region count maximum is 128 entries * (INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS), but EFI might pass us more E820 entries * than that - so allow memblock resizing. This memblock memory is freed here: free_low_memory_core_early() We access the freed memblock.memory later in boot when deferred pages are initialized in this path: deferred_init_memmap() for_each_mem_pfn_range() __next_mem_pfn_range() type = &memblock.memory; One possible explanation for why this use-after-free hasn't been hit before is that the limit of INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS has never been exceeded at least on systems where deferred struct pages were enabled. Tested by reducing INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS down to 4 from the current 128, and verifying in qemu that this code is getting excuted and that the freed pages are sane.

mm: ratelimit PFNs busy info message The RDMA subsystem can generate several thousand of these messages per second eventually leading to a kernel crash. Ratelimit these messages to prevent this crash. Doug said: "I've been carrying a version of this for several kernel versions. I don't remember when they started, but we have one (and only one) class of machines: Dell PE R730xd, that generate these errors. When it happens, without a rate limit, we get rcu timeouts and kernel oopses. With the rate limit, we just get a lot of annoying kernel messages but the machine continues on, recovers, and eventually the memory operations all succeed" And: "> Well... why are all these EBUSY's occurring? It sounds inefficient > (at least) but if it is expected, normal and unavoidable then > perhaps we should just remove that message altogether? I don't have an answer to that question. To be honest, I haven't looked real hard. We never had this at all, then it started out of the blue, but only on our Dell 730xd machines (and it hits all of them), but no other classes or brands of machines. And we have our 730xd machines loaded up with different brands and models of cards (for instance one dedicated to mlx4 hardware, one for qib, one for mlx5, an ocrdma/cxgb4 combo, etc), so the fact that it hit all of the machines meant it wasn't tied to any particular brand/model of RDMA hardware. To me, it always smelled of a hardware oddity specific to maybe the CPUs or mainboard chipsets in these machines, so given that I'm not an mm expert anyway, I never chased it down. A few other relevant details: it showed up somewhere around 4.8/4.9 or thereabouts. It never happened before, but the prinkt has been there since the 3.18 days, so possibly the test to trigger this message was changed, or something else in the allocator changed such that the situation started happening on these machines? And, like I said, it is specific to our 730xd machines (but they are all identical, so that could mean it's something like their specific ram configuration is causing the allocator to hit this on these machine but not on other machines in the cluster, I don't want to say it's necessarily the model of chipset or CPU, there are other bits of identicalness between these machines)" Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/499c0f6cc10d6eb829a67f2a4d75b4228a9b356e.1501695897.git.jtoppins@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jonathan Toppins <jtoppins@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Doug Ledford <dledford@redhat.com> Tested-by: Doug Ledford <dledford@redhat.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Cc: Hillf Danton <hillf.zj@alibaba-inc.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

locking/lockdep: Rework FS_RECLAIM annotation A while ago someone, and I cannot find the email just now, asked if we could not implement the RECLAIM_FS inversion stuff with a 'fake' lock like we use for other things like workqueues etc. I think this should be possible which allows reducing the 'irq' states and will reduce the amount of __bfs() lookups we do. Removing the 1 IRQ state results in 4 less __bfs() walks per dependency, improving lockdep performance. And by moving this annotation out of the lockdep code it becomes easier for the mm people to extend.

mm, tree wide: replace __GFP_REPEAT by __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL with more useful semantic __GFP_REPEAT was designed to allow retry-but-eventually-fail semantic to the page allocator. This has been true but only for allocations requests larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. It has been always ignored for smaller sizes. This is a bit unfortunate because there is no way to express the same semantic for those requests and they are considered too important to fail so they might end up looping in the page allocator for ever, similarly to GFP_NOFAIL requests. Now that the whole tree has been cleaned up and accidental or misled usage of __GFP_REPEAT flag has been removed for !costly requests we can give the original flag a better name and more importantly a more useful semantic. Let's rename it to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL which tells the user that the allocator would try really hard but there is no promise of a success. This will work independent of the order and overrides the default allocator behavior. Page allocator users have several levels of guarantee vs. cost options (take GFP_KERNEL as an example) - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_RECLAIM - optimistic allocation without _any_ attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because it might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more aggressive reclaim - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (or GFP_NOWAIT)- optimistic allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when the request is a performance optimization and there is another fallback for a slow path. - (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (aka GFP_ATOMIC) - non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bh context with an expensive slow path fallback. - GFP_KERNEL - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the _default_ page allocator behavior is used. That means that !costly allocation requests are basically nofail but there is no guarantee of that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers (e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently). - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer is not invoked. - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer won't be triggered. - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests will loop endlessly until they succeed. This might be really dangerous especially for larger orders. Existing users of __GFP_REPEAT are changed to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL because they already had their semantic. No new users are added. __alloc_pages_slowpath is changed to bail out for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL if there is no progress and we have already passed the OOM point. This means that all the reclaim opportunities have been exhausted except the most disruptive one (the OOM killer) and a user defined fallback behavior is more sensible than keep retrying in the page allocator.

mm/memory-hotplug: switch locking to a percpu rwsem Andrey reported a potential deadlock with the memory hotplug lock and the cpu hotplug lock. The reason is that memory hotplug takes the memory hotplug lock and then calls stop_machine() which calls get_online_cpus(). That's the reverse lock order to get_online_cpus(); get_online_mems(); in mm/slub_common.c The problem has been there forever. The reason why this was never reported is that the cpu hotplug locking had this homebrewn recursive reader writer semaphore construct which due to the recursion evaded the full lock dep coverage. The memory hotplug code copied that construct verbatim and therefor has similar issues. Three steps to fix this: 1) Convert the memory hotplug locking to a per cpu rwsem so the potential issues get reported proper by lockdep. 2) Lock the online cpus in mem_hotplug_begin() before taking the memory hotplug rwsem and use stop_machine_cpuslocked() in the page_alloc code to avoid recursive locking. 3) The cpu hotpluck locking in #2 causes a recursive locking of the cpu hotplug lock via __offline_pages() -> lru_add_drain_all(). Solve this by invoking lru_add_drain_all_cpuslocked() instead.

mm/page_alloc.c: eliminate unsigned confusion in __rmqueue_fallback Since current_order starts as MAX_ORDER-1 and is then only decremented, the second half of the loop condition seems superfluous. However, if order is 0, we may decrement current_order past 0, making it UINT_MAX. This is obviously too subtle ([1], [2]). Since we need to add some comment anyway, change the two variables to signed, making the counting-down for loop look more familiar, and apparently also making gcc generate slightly smaller code.

mm, page_alloc: fallback to smallest page when not stealing whole pageblock Since commit 3bc48f96cf11 ("mm, page_alloc: split smallest stolen page in fallback") we pick the smallest (but sufficient) page of all that have been stolen from a pageblock of different migratetype. However, there are cases when we decide not to steal the whole pageblock. Practically in the current implementation it means that we are trying to fallback for a MIGRATE_MOVABLE allocation of order X, go through the freelists from MAX_ORDER-1 down to X, and find free page of order Y. If Y is less than pageblock_order / 2, we decide not to steal all pages from the pageblock. When Y > X, it means we are potentially splitting a larger page than we need, as there might be other pages of order Z, where X <= Z < Y. Since Y is already too small to steal whole pageblock, picking smallest available Z will result in the same decision and we avoid splitting a higher-order page in a MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE or MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE pageblock. This patch therefore changes the fallback algorithm so that in the situation described above, we switch the fallback search strategy to go from order X upwards to find the smallest suitable fallback. In theory there shouldn't be a downside of this change wrt fragmentation. This has been tested with mmtests' stress-highalloc performing GFP_KERNEL order-4 allocations, here is the relevant extfrag tracepoint statistics: 4.12.0-rc2 4.12.0-rc2 1-kernel4 2-kernel4 Page alloc extfrag event 25640976 69680977 Extfrag fragmenting 25621086 69661364 Extfrag fragmenting for unmovable 74409 73204 Extfrag fragmenting unmovable placed with movable 69003 67684 Extfrag fragmenting unmovable placed with reclaim. 5406 5520 Extfrag fragmenting for reclaimable 6398 8467 Extfrag fragmenting reclaimable placed with movable 869 884 Extfrag fragmenting reclaimable placed with unmov. 5529 7583 Extfrag fragmenting for movable 25540279 69579693 Since we force movable allocations to steal the smallest available page (which we then practially always split), we steal less per fallback, so the number of fallbacks increases and steals potentially happen from different pageblocks. This is however not an issue for movable pages that can be compacted. Importantly, the "unmovable placed with movable" statistics is lower, which is the result of less fragmentation in the unmovable pageblocks. The effect on reclaimable allocation is a bit unclear.

mm, memory_hotplug: drop CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE Commit 20b2f52b73fe ("numa: add CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE for movable-dedicated node") has introduced CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE without a good explanation on why it is actually useful. It makes a lot of sense to make movable node semantic opt in but we already have that because the feature has to be explicitly enabled on the kernel command line. A config option on top only makes the configuration space larger without a good reason. It also adds an additional ifdefery that pollutes the code. Just drop the config option and make it de-facto always enabled. This shouldn't introduce any change to the semantic.

mm: vmstat: move slab statistics from zone to node counters Patch series "mm: per-lruvec slab stats" Josef is working on a new approach to balancing slab caches and the page cache. For this to work, he needs slab cache statistics on the lruvec level. These patches implement that by adding infrastructure that allows updating and reading generic VM stat items per lruvec, then switches some existing VM accounting sites, including the slab accounting ones, to this new cgroup-aware API. I'll follow up with more patches on this, because there is actually substantial simplification that can be done to the memory controller when we replace private memcg accounting with making the existing VM accounting sites cgroup-aware. But this is enough for Josef to base his slab reclaim work on, so here goes. This patch (of 5): To re-implement slab cache vs. page cache balancing, we'll need the slab counters at the lruvec level, which, ever since lru reclaim was moved from the zone to the node, is the intersection of the node, not the zone, and the memcg. We could retain the per-zone counters for when the page allocator dumps its memory information on failures, and have counters on both levels - which on all but NUMA node 0 is usually redundant. But let's keep it simple for now and just move them. If anybody complains we can restore the per-zone counters.

mm, page_alloc: pass preferred nid instead of zonelist to allocator The main allocator function __alloc_pages_nodemask() takes a zonelist pointer as one of its parameters. All of its callers directly or indirectly obtain the zonelist via node_zonelist() using a preferred node id and gfp_mask. We can make the code a bit simpler by doing the zonelist lookup in __alloc_pages_nodemask(), passing it a preferred node id instead (gfp_mask is already another parameter). There are some code size benefits thanks to removal of inlined node_zonelist(): bloat-o-meter add/remove: 2/2 grow/shrink: 4/36 up/down: 399/-1351 (-952) This will also make things simpler if we proceed with converting cpusets to zonelists.

mm, page_alloc: fix more premature OOM due to race with cpuset update I would like to stress that this patchset aims to fix issues and cleanup the code *within the existing documented semantics*, i.e. patch 1 ignores mempolicy restrictions if the set of allowed nodes has no intersection with set of nodes allowed by cpuset. I believe discussing potential changes of the semantics can be better done once we have a baseline with no known bugs of the current semantics. I've recently summarized the cpuset/mempolicy issues in a LSF/MM proposal [1] and the discussion itself [2]. I've been trying to rewrite the handling as proposed, with the idea that changing semantics to make all mempolicies static wrt cpuset updates (and discarding the relative and default modes) can be tried on top, as there's a high risk of being rejected/reverted because somebody might still care about the removed modes. However I haven't yet figured out how to properly: 1) make mempolicies swappable instead of rebinding in place. I thought mbind() already works that way and uses refcounting to avoid use-after-free of the old policy by a parallel allocation, but turns out true refcounting is only done for shared (shmem) mempolicies, and the actual protection for mbind() comes from mmap_sem. Extending the refcounting means more overhead in allocator hot path. Also swapping whole mempolicies means that we have to allocate the new ones, which can fail, and reverting of the partially done work also means allocating (note that mbind() doesn't care and will just leave part of the range updated and part not updated when returning -ENOMEM...). 2) make cpuset's task->mems_allowed also swappable (after converting it from nodemask to zonelist, which is the easy part) for mostly the same reasons. The good news is that while trying to do the above, I've at least figured out how to hopefully close the remaining premature OOM's, and do a buch of cleanups on top, removing quite some of the code that was also supposed to prevent the cpuset update races, but doesn't work anymore nowadays. This should fix the most pressing concerns with this topic and give us a better baseline before either proceeding with the original proposal, or pushing a change of semantics that removes the problem 1) above. I'd be then fine with trying to change the semantic first and rewrite later. Patchset has been tested with the LTP cpuset01 stress test. [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/4c44a589-5fd8-08d0-892c-e893bb525b71@suse.cz [2] https://lwn.net/Articles/717797/ [3] https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=149191957922828&w=2 This patch (of 6): Commit e47483bca2cc ("mm, page_alloc: fix premature OOM when racing with cpuset mems update") has fixed known recent regressions found by LTP's cpuset01 testcase. I have however found that by modifying the testcase to use per-vma mempolicies via bind(2) instead of per-task mempolicies via set_mempolicy(2), the premature OOM still happens and the issue is much older. The root of the problem is that the cpuset's mems_allowed and mempolicy's nodemask can temporarily have no intersection, thus get_page_from_freelist() cannot find any usable zone. The current semantic for empty intersection is to ignore mempolicy's nodemask and honour cpuset restrictions. This is checked in node_zonelist(), but the racy update can happen after we already passed the check. Such races should be protected by the seqlock task->mems_allowed_seq, but it doesn't work here, because 1) mpol_rebind_mm() does not happen under seqlock for write, and doing so would lead to deadlock, as it takes mmap_sem for write, while the allocation can have mmap_sem for read when it's taking the seqlock for read. And 2) the seqlock cookie of callers of node_zonelist() (alloc_pages_vma() and alloc_pages_current()) is different than the one of __alloc_pages_slowpath(), so there's still a potential race window. This patch fixes the issue by having __alloc_pages_slowpath() check for empty intersection of cpuset and ac->nodemask before OOM or allocation failure. If it's indeed empty, the nodemask is ignored and allocation retried, which mimics node_zonelist(). This works fine, because almost all callers of __alloc_pages_nodemask are obtaining the nodemask via node_zonelist(). The only exception is new_node_page() from hotplug, where the potential violation of nodemask isn't an issue, as there's already a fallback allocation attempt without any nodemask. If there's a future caller that needs to have its specific nodemask honoured over task's cpuset restrictions, we'll have to e.g. add a gfp flag for that.

mm: adaptive hash table scaling Allow hash tables to scale with memory but at slower pace, when HASH_ADAPT is provided every time memory quadruples the sizes of hash tables will only double instead of quadrupling as well. This algorithm starts working only when memory size reaches a certain point, currently set to 64G. This is example of dentry hash table size, before and after four various memory configurations: MEMORY SCALE HASH_SIZE old new old new 8G 13 13 8M 8M 16G 13 13 16M 16M 32G 13 13 32M 32M 64G 13 13 64M 64M 128G 13 14 128M 64M 256G 13 14 256M 128M 512G 13 15 512M 128M 1024G 13 15 1024M 256M 2048G 13 16 2048M 256M 4096G 13 16 4096M 512M 8192G 13 17 8192M 512M 16384G 13 17 16384M 1024M 32768G 13 18 32768M 1024M 65536G 13 18 65536M 2048M The effect of this change on runtime is undetectable as filesystem growth is not proportional to machine memory size as is currently assumed. The change effects only large memory machine. Additional tuning might be needed, but that can be done by the clients of the kmem_cache_create interface, not the generic cache allocator itself. The adaptive hashing is disabled on 32 bit systems to avoid confusion of whether base should be different for smaller systems, and to avoid overflows.

mm: consider zone which is not fully populated to have holes __pageblock_pfn_to_page has two users currently, set_zone_contiguous which checks whether the given zone contains holes and pageblock_pfn_to_page which then carefully returns a first valid page from the given pfn range for the given zone. This doesn't handle zones which are not fully populated though. Memory pageblocks can be offlined or might not have been onlined yet. In such a case the zone should be considered to have holes otherwise pfn walkers can touch and play with offline pages. Current callers of pageblock_pfn_to_page in compaction seem to work properly right now because they only isolate PageBuddy (isolate_freepages_block) or PageLRU resp. __PageMovable (isolate_migratepages_block) which will be always false for these pages. It would be safer to skip these pages altogether, though. In order to do this patch adds a new memory section state (SECTION_IS_ONLINE) which is set in memory_present (during boot time) or in online_pages_range during the memory hotplug. Similarly offline_mem_sections clears the bit and it is called when the memory range is offlined. pfn_to_online_page helper is then added which check the mem section and only returns a page if it is onlined already. Use the new helper in __pageblock_pfn_to_page and skip the whole page block in such a case.

mm: remove return value from init_currently_empty_zone Patch series "mm: make movable onlining suck less", v4. Movable onlining is a real hack with many downsides - mainly reintroduction of lowmem/highmem issues we used to have on 32b systems - but it is the only way to make the memory hotremove more reliable which is something that people are asking for. The current semantic of memory movable onlinening is really cumbersome, however. The main reason for this is that the udev driven approach is basically unusable because udev races with the memory probing while only the last memory block or the one adjacent to the existing zone_movable are allowed to be onlined movable. In short the criterion for the successful online_movable changes under udev's feet. A reliable udev approach would require a 2 phase approach where the first successful movable online would have to check all the previous blocks and online them in descending order. This is hard to be considered sane. This patchset aims at making the onlining semantic more usable. First of all it allows to online memory movable as long as it doesn't clash with the existing ZONE_NORMAL. That means that ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE cannot overlap. Currently I preserve the original ordering semantic so the zone always precedes the movable zone but I have plans to remove this restriction in future because it is not really necessary. First 3 patches are cleanups which should be ready to be merged right away (unless I have missed something subtle of course). Patch 4 deals with ZONE_DEVICE dependencies down the __add_pages path. Patch 5 deals with implicit assumptions of register_one_node on pgdat initialization. Patches 6-10 deal with offline holes in the zone for pfn walkers. I hope I got all of them right but people familiar with compaction should double check this. Patch 11 is the core of the change. In order to make it easier to review I have tried it to be as minimalistic as possible and the large code removal is moved to patch 14. Patch 12 is a trivial follow up cleanup. Patch 13 fixes sparse warnings and finally patch 14 removes the unused code. I have tested the patches in kvm: # qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -monitor pty -m 2G,slots=4,maxmem=4G -numa node,mem=1G -numa node,mem=1G ... and then probed the additional memory by (qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=1G (qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1 Then I have used this simple script to probe the memory block by hand # cat probe_memblock.sh #!/bin/sh BLOCK_NR=$1 # echo $((0x100000000+$BLOCK_NR*(128<<20))) > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe # for i in $(seq 10); do sh probe_memblock.sh $i; done # grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3?/valid_zones 2>/dev/null /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory35/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory36/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory37/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory38/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory39/valid_zones:Normal Movable The main difference to the original implementation is that all new memblocks can be both online_kernel and online_movable initially because there is no clash obviously.

In this particular case we've had Reserving 4096MB of memory at 128MB for crashkernel (System RAM: 51200MB) so the low 2GB is mostly depleted. Fix this by considering memblock allocations in the initial static initialization estimation. Move the max_initialise to reset_deferred_meminit and implement a simple memblock_reserved_memory helper which iterates all reserved blocks and sums the size of all that start below the given address. The cumulative size is than added on top of the initial estimation. This is still not ideal because reset_deferred_meminit doesn't consider holes and so reservation might be above the initial estimation whihch we ignore but let's make the logic simpler until we really need to handle more complicated cases.

This is a side effect of commit 9a67f6488eca926f ("mm: consolidate GFP_NOFAIL checks in the allocator slowpath") because that commit silently changed the behavior from /* Avoid allocations with no watermarks from looping endlessly */ to /* * Give up allocations without trying memory reserves if selected * as an OOM victim */ in __alloc_pages_slowpath() by moving the location to check TIF_MEMDIE flag. I have noticed this change but I didn't post a patch because I thought it is an acceptable change other than noise by warn_alloc() because !__GFP_NOFAIL allocations are allowed to fail. But we overlooked that failing memory allocation from page fault path makes difference due to the race window explained above. While it might be possible to add a check to pagefault_out_of_memory() that prevents the first victim from calling out_of_memory() or remove out_of_memory() from pagefault_out_of_memory(), changing pagefault_out_of_memory() does not suppress noise by warn_alloc() when allocating thread was selected as an OOM victim. There is little point with printing similar backtraces and memory information from both out_of_memory() and warn_alloc(). Instead, if we guarantee that current thread can try allocations with no watermarks once when current thread looping inside __alloc_pages_slowpath() was selected as an OOM victim, we can follow "who can use memory reserves" rules and suppress noise by warn_alloc() and prevent memory allocations from page fault path from calling pagefault_out_of_memory(). If we take the comment literally, this patch would do - if (test_thread_flag(TIF_MEMDIE)) - goto nopage; + if (alloc_flags == ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS || (gfp_mask & __GFP_NOMEMALLOC)) + goto nopage; because gfp_pfmemalloc_allowed() returns false if __GFP_NOMEMALLOC is given. But if I recall correctly (I couldn't find the message), the condition is meant to apply to only OOM victims despite the comment. Therefore, this patch preserves TIF_MEMDIE check.

mm: introduce memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore} The previous patch ("mm: prevent potential recursive reclaim due to clearing PF_MEMALLOC") has shown that simply setting and clearing PF_MEMALLOC in current->flags can result in wrongly clearing a pre-existing PF_MEMALLOC flag and potentially lead to recursive reclaim. Let's introduce helpers that support proper nesting by saving the previous stat of the flag, similar to the existing memalloc_noio_* and memalloc_nofs_* helpers. Convert existing setting/clearing of PF_MEMALLOC within mm to the new helpers. There are no known issues with the converted code, but the change makes it more robust.

mm: prevent potential recursive reclaim due to clearing PF_MEMALLOC Patch series "more robust PF_MEMALLOC handling" This series aims to unify the setting and clearing of PF_MEMALLOC, which prevents recursive reclaim. There are some places that clear the flag unconditionally from current->flags, which may result in clearing a pre-existing flag. This already resulted in a bug report that Patch 1 fixes (without the new helpers, to make backporting easier). Patch 2 introduces the new helpers, modelled after existing memalloc_noio_* and memalloc_nofs_* helpers, and converts mm core to use them. Patches 3 and 4 convert non-mm code. This patch (of 4): __alloc_pages_direct_compact() sets PF_MEMALLOC to prevent deadlock during page migration by lock_page() (see the comment in __unmap_and_move()). Then it unconditionally clears the flag, which can clear a pre-existing PF_MEMALLOC flag and result in recursive reclaim. This was not a problem until commit a8161d1ed609 ("mm, page_alloc: restructure direct compaction handling in slowpath"), because direct compation was called only after direct reclaim, which was skipped when PF_MEMALLOC flag was set. Even now it's only a theoretical issue, as the new callsite of __alloc_pages_direct_compact() is reached only for costly orders and when gfp_pfmemalloc_allowed() is true, which means either __GFP_NOMEMALLOC is in gfp_flags or in_interrupt() is true. There is no such known context, but let's play it safe and make __alloc_pages_direct_compact() robust for cases where PF_MEMALLOC is already set.

mm, compaction: restrict async compaction to pageblocks of same migratetype The migrate scanner in async compaction is currently limited to MIGRATE_MOVABLE pageblocks. This is a heuristic intended to reduce latency, based on the assumption that non-MOVABLE pageblocks are unlikely to contain movable pages. However, with the exception of THP's, most high-order allocations are not movable. Should the async compaction succeed, this increases the chance that the non-MOVABLE allocations will fallback to a MOVABLE pageblock, making the long-term fragmentation worse. This patch attempts to help the situation by changing async direct compaction so that the migrate scanner only scans the pageblocks of the requested migratetype. If it's a non-MOVABLE type and there are such pageblocks that do contain movable pages, chances are that the allocation can succeed within one of such pageblocks, removing the need for a fallback. If that fails, the subsequent sync attempt will ignore this restriction. In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks by 30%. The number of movable allocations falling back is reduced by 12%.

mm, page_alloc: count movable pages when stealing from pageblock When stealing pages from pageblock of a different migratetype, we count how many free pages were stolen, and change the pageblock's migratetype if more than half of the pageblock was free. This might be too conservative, as there might be other pages that are not free, but were allocated with the same migratetype as our allocation requested. While we cannot determine the migratetype of allocated pages precisely (at least without the page_owner functionality enabled), we can count pages that compaction would try to isolate for migration - those are either on LRU or __PageMovable(). The rest can be assumed to be MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE or MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE, which we cannot easily distinguish. This counting can be done as part of free page stealing with little additional overhead. The page stealing code is changed so that it considers free pages plus pages of the "good" migratetype for the decision whether to change pageblock's migratetype. The result should be more accurate migratetype of pageblocks wrt the actual pages in the pageblocks, when stealing from semi-occupied pageblocks. This should help the efficiency of page grouping by mobility. In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks by 47%. The number of movable allocations falling back to other pageblocks are increased by 55%, but these events don't cause permanent fragmentation, so the tradeoff should be positive. Later patches also offset the movable fallback increase to some extent.

mm, page_alloc: split smallest stolen page in fallback The __rmqueue_fallback() function is called when there's no free page of requested migratetype, and we need to steal from a different one. There are various heuristics to make this event infrequent and reduce permanent fragmentation. The main one is to try stealing from a pageblock that has the most free pages, and possibly steal them all at once and convert the whole pageblock. Precise searching for such pageblock would be expensive, so instead the heuristics walks the free lists from MAX_ORDER down to requested order and assumes that the block with highest-order free page is likely to also have the most free pages in total. Chances are that together with the highest-order page, we steal also pages of lower orders from the same block. But then we still split the highest order page. This is wasteful and can contribute to fragmentation instead of avoiding it. This patch thus changes __rmqueue_fallback() to just steal the page(s) and put them on the freelist of the requested migratetype, and only report whether it was successful. Then we pick (and eventually split) the smallest page with __rmqueue_smallest(). This all happens under zone lock, so nobody can steal it from us in the process. This should reduce fragmentation due to fallbacks. At worst we are only stealing a single highest-order page and waste some cycles by moving it between lists and then removing it, but fallback is not exactly hot path so that should not be a concern. As a side benefit the patch removes some duplicate code by reusing __rmqueue_smallest().

mm, page_alloc: remove debug_guardpage_minorder() test in warn_alloc() Commit c0a32fc5a2e4 ("mm: more intensive memory corruption debugging") changed to check debug_guardpage_minorder() > 0 when reporting allocation failures. The reasoning was When we use guard page to debug memory corruption, it shrinks available pages to 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 and so on, depending on parameter value. In such case memory allocation failures can be common and printing errors can flood dmesg. If somebody debug corruption, allocation failures are not the things he/she is interested about. but this is misguided. Allocation requests with __GFP_NOWARN flag by definition do not cause flooding of allocation failure messages. Allocation requests with __GFP_NORETRY flag likely also have __GFP_NOWARN flag. Costly allocation requests likely also have __GFP_NOWARN flag. Allocation requests without __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM flag likely also have __GFP_NOWARN flag or __GFP_HIGH flag. Non-costly allocation requests with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM flag basically retry forever due to the "too small to fail" memory-allocation rule. Therefore, as a whole, shrinking available pages by debug_guardpage_minorder= kernel boot parameter might cause flooding of OOM killer messages but unlikely causes flooding of allocation failure messages. Let's remove debug_guardpage_minorder() > 0 check which would likely be pointless.

mm: enable page poisoning early at boot On SPARSEMEM systems page poisoning is enabled after buddy is up, because of the dependency on page extension init. This causes the pages released by free_all_bootmem not to be poisoned. This either delays or misses the identification of some issues because the pages have to undergo another cycle of alloc-free-alloc for any corruption to be detected. Enable page poisoning early by getting rid of the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_POISON flag. Since all the free pages will now be poisoned, the flag need not be verified before checking the poison during an alloc.

mm: page_alloc: __GFP_NOWARN shouldn't suppress stall warnings __GFP_NOWARN, which is usually added to avoid warnings from callsites that expect to fail and have fallbacks, currently also suppresses allocation stall warnings. These trigger when an allocation is stuck inside the allocator for 10 seconds or longer. But there is no class of allocations that can get legitimately stuck in the allocator for this long. This always indicates a problem. Always emit stall warnings. Restrict __GFP_NOWARN to alloc failures.

mm: introduce memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} API GFP_NOFS context is used for the following 5 reasons currently: - to prevent from deadlocks when the lock held by the allocation context would be needed during the memory reclaim - to prevent from stack overflows during the reclaim because the allocation is performed from a deep context already - to prevent lockups when the allocation context depends on other reclaimers to make a forward progress indirectly - just in case because this would be safe from the fs POV - silence lockdep false positives Unfortunately overuse of this allocation context brings some problems to the MM. Memory reclaim is much weaker (especially during heavy FS metadata workloads), OOM killer cannot be invoked because the MM layer doesn't have enough information about how much memory is freeable by the FS layer. In many cases it is far from clear why the weaker context is even used and so it might be used unnecessarily. We would like to get rid of those as much as possible. One way to do that is to use the flag in scopes rather than isolated cases. Such a scope is declared when really necessary, tracked per task and all the allocation requests from within the context will simply inherit the GFP_NOFS semantic. Not only this is easier to understand and maintain because there are much less problematic contexts than specific allocation requests, this also helps code paths where FS layer interacts with other layers (e.g. crypto, security modules, MM etc...) and there is no easy way to convey the allocation context between the layers. Introduce memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} API to control the scope of GFP_NOFS allocation context. This is basically copying memalloc_noio_{save,restore} API we have for other restricted allocation context GFP_NOIO. The PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS flag already exists and it is just an alias for PF_FSTRANS which has been xfs specific until recently. There are no more PF_FSTRANS users anymore so let's just drop it. PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS is now checked in the MM layer and drops __GFP_FS implicitly same as PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO drops __GFP_IO. memalloc_noio_flags is renamed to current_gfp_context because it now cares about both PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS and PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO contexts. Xfs code paths preserve their semantic. kmem_flags_convert() doesn't need to evaluate the flag anymore. This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes. Let's hope that filesystems will drop direct GFP_NOFS (resp. ~__GFP_FS) usage as much as possible and only use a properly documented memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} checkpoints where they are appropriate.

mm: remove unnecessary back-off function when retrying page reclaim The backoff mechanism is not needed. If we have MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES loops without progress, we'll OOM anyway; backing off might cut one or two iterations off that in the rare OOM case. If we have intermittent success reclaiming a few pages, the backoff function gets reset also, and so is of little help in these scenarios. We might want a backoff function for when there IS progress, but not enough to be satisfactory. But this isn't that. Remove it.

mm: delete NR_PAGES_SCANNED and pgdat_reclaimable() NR_PAGES_SCANNED counts number of pages scanned since the last page free event in the allocator. This was used primarily to measure the reclaimability of zones and nodes, and determine when reclaim should give up on them. In that role, it has been replaced in the preceding patches by a different mechanism. Being implemented as an efficient vmstat counter, it was automatically exported to userspace as well. It's however unlikely that anyone outside the kernel is using this counter in any meaningful way. Remove the counter and the unused pgdat_reclaimable().

mm: fix 100% CPU kswapd busyloop on unreclaimable nodes Patch series "mm: kswapd spinning on unreclaimable nodes - fixes and cleanups". Jia reported a scenario in which the kswapd of a node indefinitely spins at 100% CPU usage. We have seen similar cases at Facebook. The kernel's current method of judging its ability to reclaim a node (or whether to back off and sleep) is based on the amount of scanned pages in proportion to the amount of reclaimable pages. In Jia's and our scenarios, there are no reclaimable pages in the node, however, and the condition for backing off is never met. Kswapd busyloops in an attempt to restore the watermarks while having nothing to work with. This series reworks the definition of an unreclaimable node based not on scanning but on whether kswapd is able to actually reclaim pages in MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (16) consecutive runs. This is the same criteria the page allocator uses for giving up on direct reclaim and invoking the OOM killer. If it cannot free any pages, kswapd will go to sleep and leave further attempts to direct reclaim invocations, which will either make progress and re-enable kswapd, or invoke the OOM killer. Patch #1 fixes the immediate problem Jia reported, the remainder are smaller fixlets, cleanups, and overall phasing out of the old method. Patch #6 is the odd one out. It's a nice cleanup to get_scan_count(), and directly related to #5, but in itself not relevant to the series. If the whole series is too ambitious for 4.11, I would consider the first three patches fixes, the rest cleanups. This patch (of 9): Jia He reports a problem with kswapd spinning at 100% CPU when requesting more hugepages than memory available in the system: $ echo 4000 >/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages top - 13:42:59 up 3:37, 1 user, load average: 1.09, 1.03, 1.01 Tasks: 1 total, 1 running, 0 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu(s): 0.0 us, 12.5 sy, 0.0 ni, 85.5 id, 2.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st KiB Mem: 31371520 total, 30915136 used, 456384 free, 320 buffers KiB Swap: 6284224 total, 115712 used, 6168512 free. 48192 cached Mem PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 76 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 100.0 0.000 217:17.29 kswapd3 At that time, there are no reclaimable pages left in the node, but as kswapd fails to restore the high watermarks it refuses to go to sleep. Kswapd needs to back away from nodes that fail to balance. Up until commit 1d82de618ddd ("mm, vmscan: make kswapd reclaim in terms of nodes") kswapd had such a mechanism. It considered zones whose theoretically reclaimable pages it had reclaimed six times over as unreclaimable and backed away from them. This guard was erroneously removed as the patch changed the definition of a balanced node. However, simply restoring this code wouldn't help in the case reported here: there *are* no reclaimable pages that could be scanned until the threshold is met. Kswapd would stay awake anyway. Introduce a new and much simpler way of backing off. If kswapd runs through MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (16) cycles without reclaiming a single page, make it back off from the node. This is the same number of shots direct reclaim takes before declaring OOM. Kswapd will go to sleep on that node until a direct reclaimer manages to reclaim some pages, thus proving the node reclaimable again.

Revert "mm, page_alloc: only use per-cpu allocator for irq-safe requests" This reverts commit 374ad05ab64. While the patch worked great for userspace allocations, the fact that softirq loses the per-cpu allocator caused problems. It needs to be redone taking into account that a separate list is needed for hard/soft IRQs or alternatively find a cheap way of detecting reentry due to an interrupt. Both are possible but sufficiently tricky that it shouldn't be rushed. Jesper had one method for allowing softirqs but reported that the cost was high enough that it performed similarly to a plain revert. His figures for netperf TCP_STREAM were as follows Baseline v4.10.0 : 60316 Mbit/s Current 4.11.0-rc6: 47491 Mbit/s Jesper's patch : 60662 Mbit/s This patch : 60106 Mbit/s As this is a regression, I wish to revert to noirq allocator for now and go back to the drawing board.

mm: move pcp and lru-pcp draining into single wq We currently have 2 specific WQ_RECLAIM workqueues in the mm code. vmstat_wq for updating pcp stats and lru_add_drain_wq dedicated to drain per cpu lru caches. This seems more than necessary because both can run on a single WQ. Both do not block on locks requiring a memory allocation nor perform any allocations themselves. We will save one rescuer thread this way. On the other hand drain_all_pages() queues work on the system wq which doesn't have rescuer and so this depend on memory allocation (when all workers are stuck allocating and new ones cannot be created). Initially we thought this would be more of a theoretical problem but Hugh Dickins has reported: : 4.11-rc has been giving me hangs after hours of swapping load. At : first they looked like memory leaks ("fork: Cannot allocate memory"); : but for no good reason I happened to do "cat /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh" : before looking at /proc/meminfo one time, and the stat_refresh stuck : in D state, waiting for completion of flush_work like many kworkers. : kthreadd waiting for completion of flush_work in drain_all_pages(). This worker should be using WQ_RECLAIM as well in order to guarantee a forward progress. We can reuse the same one as for lru draining and vmstat.

ftrace: Have init/main.c call ftrace directly to free init memory Relying on free_reserved_area() to call ftrace to free init memory proved to not be sufficient. The issue is that on x86, when debug_pagealloc is enabled, the init memory is not freed, but simply set as not present. Since ftrace was uninformed of this, starting function tracing still tries to update pages that are not present according to the page tables, causing ftrace to bug, as well as killing the kernel itself. Instead of relying on free_reserved_area(), have init/main.c call ftrace directly just before it frees the init memory. Then it needs to use __init_begin and __init_end to know where the init memory location is. Looking at all archs (and testing what I can), it appears that this should work for each of them.

mm/page_alloc: fix nodes for reclaim in fast path When @node_reclaim_node isn't 0, the page allocator tries to reclaim pages if the amount of free memory in the zones are below the low watermark. On Power platform, none of NUMA nodes are scanned for page reclaim because no nodes match the condition in zone_allows_reclaim(). On Power platform, RECLAIM_DISTANCE is set to 10 which is the distance of Node-A to Node-A. So the preferred node even won't be scanned for page reclaim. __alloc_pages_nodemask() get_page_from_freelist() zone_allows_reclaim() Anton proposed the test code as below: # cat alloc.c : int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { void *p; unsigned long size; unsigned long start, end; start = time(NULL); size = strtoul(argv[1], NULL, 0); printf("To allocate %ldGB memory\n", size); size <<= 30; p = malloc(size); assert(p); memset(p, 0, size); end = time(NULL); printf("Used time: %ld seconds\n", end - start); sleep(3600); return 0; } The system I use for testing has two NUMA nodes. Both have 128GB memory. In below scnario, the page caches on node#0 should be reclaimed when it encounters pressure to accommodate request of allocation. # echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode; \ sync; \ echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches; \ # taskset -c 0 cat file.32G > /dev/null; \ grep FilePages /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo Node 0 FilePages: 33619712 kB # taskset -c 0 ./alloc 128 # grep FilePages /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo Node 0 FilePages: 33619840 kB # grep MemFree /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo Node 0 MemFree: 186816 kB With the patch applied, the pagecache on node-0 is reclaimed when its free memory is running out.

mm: alloc_contig_range: allow to specify GFP mask Currently alloc_contig_range assumes that the compaction should be done with the default GFP_KERNEL flags. This is probably right for all current uses of this interface, but may change as CMA is used in more use-cases (including being the default DMA memory allocator on some platforms). Change the function prototype, to allow for passing through the GFP mask set by upper layers. Also respect global restrictions by applying memalloc_noio_flags to the passed in flags.

mm/hotplug: enable memory hotplug for non-lru movable pages We had considered all of the non-lru pages as unmovable before commit bda807d44454 ("mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page migration"). But now some of non-lru pages like zsmalloc, virtio-balloon pages also become movable. So we can offline such blocks by using non-lru page migration. This patch straightforwardly adds non-lru migration code, which means adding non-lru related code to the functions which scan over pfn and collect pages to be migrated and isolate them before migration.

mm, page_alloc: use static global work_struct for draining per-cpu pages As suggested by Vlastimil Babka and Tejun Heo, this patch uses a static work_struct to co-ordinate the draining of per-cpu pages on the workqueue. Only one task can drain at a time but this is better than the previous scheme that allowed multiple tasks to send IPIs at a time. One consideration is whether parallel requests should synchronise against each other. This patch does not synchronise for a global drain as the common case for such callers is expected to be multiple parallel direct reclaimers competing for pages when the watermark is close to min. Draining the per-cpu list is unlikely to make much progress and serialising the drain is of dubious merit. Drains are synchonrised for callers such as memory hotplug and CMA that care about the drain being complete when the function returns.

mm, page_alloc: don't check cpuset allowed twice in fast-path Since commit 682a3385e773 ("mm, page_alloc: inline the fast path of the zonelist iterator") we replace a NULL nodemask with cpuset_current_mems_allowed in the fast path, so that get_page_from_freelist() filters nodes allowed by the cpuset via for_next_zone_zonelist_nodemask(). In that case it's pointless to additionaly check __cpuset_zone_allowed() in each iteration, which we can avoid by not adding ALLOC_CPUSET to alloc_flags in that scenario. This saves some cycles in the allocator fast path on systems with one or more non-root cpuset configured. In the slow path, ALLOC_CPUSET is reset according to __alloc_pages_slowpath(). Without configured cpusets, this code is disabled by a static key.

mm, page_alloc: remove redundant checks from alloc fastpath The allocation fast path contains two similar checks for zoneref->zone being NULL, where zoneref points either to the first zone in the zonelist, or to the preferred zone. These can be NULL either due to empty zonelist, or no zone being compatible with given nodemask or task's cpuset. These checks are unnecessary, because the zonelist walks in first_zones_zonelist() and get_page_from_freelist() handle a NULL starting zoneref->zone or preferred_zoneref->zone safely. It's safe to fallback to __alloc_pages_slowpath() where we also have the check early enough.

mm, page_alloc: only use per-cpu allocator for irq-safe requests Many workloads that allocate pages are not handling an interrupt at a time. As allocation requests may be from IRQ context, it's necessary to disable/enable IRQs for every page allocation. This cost is the bulk of the free path but also a significant percentage of the allocation path. This patch alters the locking and checks such that only irq-safe allocation requests use the per-cpu allocator. All others acquire the irq-safe zone->lock and allocate from the buddy allocator. It relies on disabling preemption to safely access the per-cpu structures. It could be slightly modified to avoid soft IRQs using it but it's not clear it's worthwhile. This modification may slow allocations from IRQ context slightly but the main gain from the per-cpu allocator is that it scales better for allocations from multiple contexts. There is an implicit assumption that intensive allocations from IRQ contexts on multiple CPUs from a single NUMA node are rare and that the fast majority of scaling issues are encountered in !IRQ contexts such as page faulting. It's worth noting that this patch is not required for a bulk page allocator but it significantly reduces the overhead. The following is results from a page allocator micro-benchmark.

Avoiding disabling/enabling overhead massively reduces overhead. Alloc overhead is roughly reduced by 14-20% in most cases. The free path is reduced by 26-46% and the total reduction is significant. Many users require zeroing of pages from the page allocator which is the vast cost of allocation. Hence, the impact on a basic page faulting benchmark is not that significant 4.10.0-rc2 4.10.0-rc2 vanilla irqsafe-v1r5 Hmean page_test 656632.98 ( 0.00%) 675536.13 ( 2.88%) Hmean brk_test 3845502.67 ( 0.00%) 3867186.94 ( 0.56%) Stddev page_test 10543.29 ( 0.00%) 4104.07 ( 61.07%) Stddev brk_test 33472.36 ( 0.00%) 15538.39 ( 53.58%) CoeffVar page_test 1.61 ( 0.00%) 0.61 ( 62.15%) CoeffVar brk_test 0.87 ( 0.00%) 0.40 ( 53.84%) Max page_test 666513.33 ( 0.00%) 678640.00 ( 1.82%) Max brk_test 3882800.00 ( 0.00%) 3887008.66 ( 0.11%) This is from aim9 and the most notable outcome is that fault variability is reduced by the patch. The headline improvement is small as the overall fault cost, zeroing, page table insertion etc dominate relative to disabling/enabling IRQs in the per-cpu allocator. Similarly, little benefit was seen on networking benchmarks both localhost and between physical server/clients where other costs dominate. It's possible that this will only be noticable on very high speed networks.

Let's remove the dependency by dropping get_online_cpus() from drain_all_pages. This is not so simple though because now we do not have a protection against cpu hotplug which means 2 things: - the work item might be executed on a different cpu in worker from unbound pool so it doesn't run on pinned on the cpu - we have to make sure that we do not race with page_alloc_cpu_dead calling drain_pages_zone Disabling preemption in drain_local_pages_wq will solve the first problem drain_local_pages will determine its local CPU from the WQ context which will be stable after that point, page_alloc_cpu_dead is pinned to the CPU already. The later condition is achieved by disabling IRQs in drain_pages_zone.

mm, page_alloc: drain per-cpu pages from workqueue context The per-cpu page allocator can be drained immediately via drain_all_pages() which sends IPIs to every CPU. In the next patch, the per-cpu allocator will only be used for interrupt-safe allocations which prevents draining it from IPI context. This patch uses workqueues to drain the per-cpu lists instead. This is slower but no slowdown during intensive reclaim was measured and the paths that use drain_all_pages() are not that sensitive to performance. This is particularly true as the path would only be triggered when reclaim is failing. It also makes a some sense to avoid storming a machine with IPIs when it's under memory pressure. Arguably, it should be further adjusted so that only one caller at a time is draining pages but it's beyond the scope of the current patch.

mm, page_alloc: split buffered_rmqueue() Patch series "Use per-cpu allocator for !irq requests and prepare for a bulk allocator", v5. This series is motivated by a conversation led by Jesper Dangaard Brouer at the last LSF/MM proposing a generic page pool for DMA-coherent pages. Part of his motivation was due to the overhead of allocating multiple order-0 that led some drivers to use high-order allocations and splitting them. This is very slow in some cases. The first two patches in this series restructure the page allocator such that it is relatively easy to introduce an order-0 bulk page allocator. A patch exists to do that and has been handed over to Jesper until an in-kernel users is created. The third patch prevents the per-cpu allocator being drained from IPI context as that can potentially corrupt the list after patch four is merged. The final patch alters the per-cpu alloctor to make it exclusive to !irq requests. This cuts allocation/free overhead by roughly 30%. Performance tests from both Jesper and me are included in the patch. This patch (of 4): buffered_rmqueue removes a page from a given zone and uses the per-cpu list for order-0. This is fine but a hypothetical caller that wanted multiple order-0 pages has to disable/reenable interrupts multiple times. This patch structures buffere_rmqueue such that it's relatively easy to build a bulk order-0 page allocator. There is no functional change.

mm, page_alloc: warn_alloc nodemask is NULL when cpusets are disabled The patch "mm, page_alloc: warn_alloc print nodemask" implicitly sets the allocation nodemask to cpuset_current_mems_allowed when there is no effective mempolicy. cpuset_current_mems_allowed is only effective when cpusets are enabled, which is also printed by warn_alloc(), so setting the nodemask to cpuset_current_mems_allowed is redundant and prevents debugging issues where ac->nodemask is not set properly in the page allocator. This provides better debugging output since cpuset_print_current_mems_allowed() is already provided.

mm: help __GFP_NOFAIL allocations which do not trigger OOM killer Now that __GFP_NOFAIL doesn't override decisions to skip the oom killer we are left with requests which require to loop inside the allocator without invoking the oom killer (e.g. GFP_NOFS|__GFP_NOFAIL used by fs code) and so they might, in very unlikely situations, loop for ever - e.g. other parallel request could starve them. This patch tries to limit the likelihood of such a lockup by giving these __GFP_NOFAIL requests a chance to move on by consuming a small part of memory reserves. We are using ALLOC_HARDER which should be enough to prevent from the starvation by regular allocation requests, yet it shouldn't consume enough from the reserves to disrupt high priority requests (ALLOC_HIGH). While we are at it, let's introduce a helper __alloc_pages_cpuset_fallback which enforces the cpusets but allows to fallback to ignore them if the first attempt fails. __GFP_NOFAIL requests can be considered important enough to allow cpuset runaway in order for the system to move on. It is highly unlikely that any of these will be GFP_USER anyway.

mm, oom: do not enforce OOM killer for __GFP_NOFAIL automatically __alloc_pages_may_oom makes sure to skip the OOM killer depending on the allocation request. This includes lowmem requests, costly high order requests and others. For a long time __GFP_NOFAIL acted as an override for all those rules. This is not documented and it can be quite surprising as well. E.g. GFP_NOFS requests are not invoking the OOM killer but GFP_NOFS|__GFP_NOFAIL does so if we try to convert some of the existing open coded loops around allocator to nofail request (and we have done that in the past) then such a change would have a non trivial side effect which is far from obvious. Note that the primary motivation for skipping the OOM killer is to prevent from pre-mature invocation. The exception has been added by commit 82553a937f12 ("oom: invoke oom killer for __GFP_NOFAIL"). The changelog points out that the oom killer has to be invoked otherwise the request would be looping for ever. But this argument is rather weak because the OOM killer doesn't really guarantee a forward progress for those exceptional cases: - it will hardly help to form costly order which in turn can result in the system panic because of no oom killable task in the end - I believe we certainly do not want to put the system down just because there is a nasty driver asking for order-9 page with GFP_NOFAIL not realizing all the consequences. It is much better this request would loop for ever than the massive system disruption - lowmem is also highly unlikely to be freed during OOM killer - GFP_NOFS request could trigger while there is still a lot of memory pinned by filesystems. This patch simply removes the __GFP_NOFAIL special case in order to have a more clear semantic without surprising side effects.

mm: consolidate GFP_NOFAIL checks in the allocator slowpath Tetsuo Handa has pointed out that commit 0a0337e0d1d1 ("mm, oom: rework oom detection") has subtly changed semantic for costly high order requests with __GFP_NOFAIL and withtout __GFP_REPEAT and those can fail right now. My code inspection didn't reveal any such users in the tree but it is true that this might lead to unexpected allocation failures and subsequent OOPs. __alloc_pages_slowpath wrt. GFP_NOFAIL is hard to follow currently. There are few special cases but we are lacking a catch all place to be sure we will not miss any case where the non failing allocation might fail. This patch reorganizes the code a bit and puts all those special cases under nopage label which is the generic go-to-fail path. Non failing allocations are retried or those that cannot retry like non-sleeping allocation go to the failure point directly. This should make the code flow much easier to follow and make it less error prone for future changes. While we are there we have to move the stall check up to catch potentially looping non-failing allocations.

lib/show_mem.c: teach show_mem to work with the given nodemask show_mem() allows to filter out node specific data which is irrelevant to the allocation request via SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES. The filtering is done in skip_free_areas_node which skips all nodes which are not in the mems_allowed of the current process. This works most of the time as expected because the nodemask shouldn't be outside of the allocating task but there are some exceptions. E.g. memory hotplug might want to request allocations from outside of the allowed nodes (see new_node_page). Get rid of this hardcoded behavior and push the allocation mask down the show_mem path and use it instead of cpuset_current_mems_allowed. NULL nodemask is interpreted as cpuset_current_mems_allowed.

mm, page_alloc: do not report all nodes in show_mem Patch series "show_mem updates", v2. This is a mixture of one bug fix (patch 1), an enhancement (patch 2) and cleanups (the rest of the series). First two patches should be really straightforward. Patch 3 removes some arch specific show_mem implementations because I think they are quite outdated and do not really serve any useful purpose anymore. I think we should really strive to have a consistent show_mem output regardless of the architecture. If some architecture is really special and wants to dump something additional we should do that via an arch specific hook. The last patch adds nodemask parameter so that we do not rely on the hardcoded mems_allowed of the current task when doing the node filtering. I consider this more a cleanup than a fix because basically all users use a nodemask which is a subset of mems_allowed. There is only one call path in the memory hotplug which doesn't comply with this but that is hardly something to worry about. This patch (of 4): Commit 599d0c954f91 ("mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node") has added per numa node statistics to show_mem but it forgot to add skip_free_areas_node to filter out nodes which are outside of the allocating task numa policy. Add this check to not pollute the output with the pointless information.

mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns where possible When using a sparse memory model memmap_init_zone() when invoked with the MEMMAP_EARLY context will skip over pages which aren't valid - ie. which aren't in a populated region of the sparse memory map. However if the memory map is extremely sparse then it can spend a long time linearly checking each PFN in a large non-populated region of the memory map & skipping it in turn. When CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is enabled, we have sufficient information to quickly discover the next valid PFN given an invalid one by searching through the list of memory regions & skipping forwards to the first PFN covered by the memory region to the right of the non-populated region. Implement this in order to speed up memmap_init_zone() for systems with extremely sparse memory maps.

oom, trace: add compaction retry tracepoint Higher order requests oom debugging is currently quite hard. We do have some compaction points which can tell us how the compaction is operating but there is no trace point to tell us about compaction retry logic. This patch adds a one which will have the following format bash-3126 [001] .... 1498.220001: compact_retry: order=9 priority=COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT compaction_result=withdrawn retries=0 max_retries=16 should_retry=0 we can see that the order 9 request is not retried even though we are in the highest compaction priority mode becase the last compaction attempt was withdrawn. This means that compaction_zonelist_suitable must have returned false and there is no suitable zone to compact for this request and so no need to retry further. another example would be <...>-3137 [001] .... 81.501689: compact_retry: order=9 priority=COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT compaction_result=failed retries=0 max_retries=16 should_retry=0 in this case the order-9 compaction failed to find any suitable block. We do not retry anymore because this is a costly request and those do not go below COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT priority.

This is essentially an optimistic estimate of how much memory we would have when reclaiming everything. This can be compared to min_wmark to get a rought idea but the wmark_check tells the result of the watermark check which is more precise (includes lowmem reserves, considers the order etc.). As we can see no zone is eligible in the end and that is why we have triggered the oom in this situation. Please note that higher order requests might fail on the wmark_check even when there is much more memory available than min_wmark - e.g. when the memory is fragmented. A follow up tracepoint will help to debug those situations.

mm, page_alloc: avoid page_to_pfn() when merging buddies On architectures that allow memory holes, page_is_buddy() has to perform page_to_pfn() to check for the memory hole. After the previous patch, we have the pfn already available in __free_one_page(), which is the only caller of page_is_buddy(), so move the check there and avoid page_to_pfn().

mm, page_alloc: don't convert pfn to idx when merging In __free_one_page() we do the buddy merging arithmetics on "page/buddy index", which is just the lower MAX_ORDER bits of pfn. The operations we do that affect the higher bits are bitwise AND and subtraction (in that order), where the final result will be the same with the higher bits left unmasked, as long as these bits are equal for both buddies - which must be true by the definition of a buddy. We can therefore use pfn's directly instead of "index" and skip the zeroing of >MAX_ORDER bits. This can help a bit by itself, although compiler might be smart enough already. It also helps the next patch to avoid page_to_pfn() for memory hole checks.

mm: throttle show_mem() from warn_alloc() Tetsuo has been stressing OOM killer path with many parallel allocation requests when he has noticed that it is not all that hard to swamp kernel logs with warn_alloc messages caused by allocation stalls. Even though the allocation stall message is triggered only once in 10s there might be many different tasks hitting it roughly around the same time. A big part of the output is show_mem() which can generate a lot of output even on a small machines. There is no reason to show the state of memory counter for each allocation stall, especially when multiple of them are reported in a short time period. Chances are that not much has changed since the last report. This patch simply rate limits show_mem called from warn_alloc to only dump something once per second. This should be enough to give us a clue why an allocation might be stalling while burst of warnings will not swamp log with too much data. While we are at it, extract all the show_mem related handling (filters) into a separate function warn_alloc_show_mem. This will make the code cleaner and as a bonus point we can distinguish which part of warn_alloc got throttled due to rate limiting as ___ratelimit dumps the caller.

mm, page_alloc: fix premature OOM when racing with cpuset mems update Ganapatrao Kulkarni reported that the LTP test cpuset01 in stress mode triggers OOM killer in few seconds, despite lots of free memory. The test attempts to repeatedly fault in memory in one process in a cpuset, while changing allowed nodes of the cpuset between 0 and 1 in another process. The problem comes from insufficient protection against cpuset changes, which can cause get_page_from_freelist() to consider all zones as non-eligible due to nodemask and/or current->mems_allowed. This was masked in the past by sufficient retries, but since commit 682a3385e773 ("mm, page_alloc: inline the fast path of the zonelist iterator") we fix the preferred_zoneref once, and don't iterate over the whole zonelist in further attempts, thus the only eligible zones might be placed in the zonelist before our starting point and we always miss them. A previous patch fixed this problem for current->mems_allowed. However, cpuset changes also update the task's mempolicy nodemask. The fix has two parts. We have to repeat the preferred_zoneref search when we detect cpuset update by way of seqcount, and we have to check the seqcount before considering OOM.

mm, page_alloc: fix fast-path race with cpuset update or removal Ganapatrao Kulkarni reported that the LTP test cpuset01 in stress mode triggers OOM killer in few seconds, despite lots of free memory. The test attempts to repeatedly fault in memory in one process in a cpuset, while changing allowed nodes of the cpuset between 0 and 1 in another process. One possible cause is that in the fast path we find the preferred zoneref according to current mems_allowed, so that it points to the middle of the zonelist, skipping e.g. zones of node 1 completely. If the mems_allowed is updated to contain only node 1, we never reach it in the zonelist, and trigger OOM before checking the cpuset_mems_cookie. This patch fixes the particular case by redoing the preferred zoneref search if we switch back to the original nodemask. The condition is also slightly changed so that when the last non-root cpuset is removed, we don't miss it. Note that this is not a full fix, and more patches will follow.

mm, page_alloc: fix check for NULL preferred_zone Patch series "fix premature OOM regression in 4.7+ due to cpuset races". This is v2 of my attempt to fix the recent report based on LTP cpuset stress test [1]. The intention is to go to stable 4.9 LTSS with this, as triggering repeated OOMs is not nice. That's why the patches try to be not too intrusive. Unfortunately why investigating I found that modifying the testcase to use per-VMA policies instead of per-task policies will bring the OOM's back, but that seems to be much older and harder to fix problem. I have posted a RFC [2] but I believe that fixing the recent regressions has a higher priority. Longer-term we might try to think how to fix the cpuset mess in a better and less error prone way. I was for example very surprised to learn, that cpuset updates change not only task->mems_allowed, but also nodemask of mempolicies. Until now I expected the parameter to alloc_pages_nodemask() to be stable. I wonder why do we then treat cpusets specially in get_page_from_freelist() and distinguish HARDWALL etc, when there's unconditional intersection between mempolicy and cpuset. I would expect the nodemask adjustment for saving overhead in g_p_f(), but that clearly doesn't happen in the current form. So we have both crazy complexity and overhead, AFAICS. [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CAFpQJXUq-JuEP=QPidy4p_=FN0rkH5Z-kfB4qBvsf6jMS87Edg@mail.gmail.com [2] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/7c459f26-13a6-a817-e508-b65b903a8378@suse.cz This patch (of 4): Since commit c33d6c06f60f ("mm, page_alloc: avoid looking up the first zone in a zonelist twice") we have a wrong check for NULL preferred_zone, which can theoretically happen due to concurrent cpuset modification. We check the zoneref pointer which is never NULL and we should check the zone pointer. Also document this in first_zones_zonelist() comment per Michal Hocko.

First it goes through and renames the __page_frag prefixed functions to __page_frag_cache so that we can be clear that we are draining or refilling the cache, not the frags themselves. Second we drop the order parameter from __page_frag_cache_drain since we don't actually need to pass it since all fragments are either order 0 or must be a compound page.

mm: rename __alloc_page_frag to page_frag_alloc and __free_page_frag to page_frag_free Patch series "Page fragment updates", v4. This patch series takes care of a few cleanups for the page fragments API. First we do some renames so that things are much more consistent. First we move the page_frag_ portion of the name to the front of the functions names. Secondly we split out the cache specific functions from the other page fragment functions by adding the word "cache" to the name. Finally I added a bit of documentation that will hopefully help to explain some of this. I plan to revisit this later as we get things more ironed out in the near future with the changes planned for the DMA setup to support eXpress Data Path. This patch (of 3): This patch renames the page frag functions to be more consistent with other APIs. Specifically we place the name page_frag first in the name and then have either an alloc or free call name that we append as the suffix. This makes it a bit clearer in terms of naming. In addition we drop the leading double underscores since we are technically no longer a backing interface and instead the front end that is called from the networking APIs.

mm: fix remote numa hits statistics Jia He has noticed that commit b9f00e147f27 ("mm, page_alloc: reduce branches in zone_statistics") has an unintentional side effect that remote node allocation requests are accounted as NUMA_MISS rathat than NUMA_HIT and NUMA_OTHER if such a request doesn't use __GFP_OTHER_NODE. There are many of these potentially because the flag is used very rarely while we have many users of __alloc_pages_node. Fix this by simply ignoring __GFP_OTHER_NODE (it can be removed in a follow up patch) and treat all allocations that were satisfied from the preferred zone's node as NUMA_HITS because this is the same node we requested the allocation from in most cases. If this is not the local node then we just account it as NUMA_OTHER rather than NUMA_LOCAL. One downsize would be that an allocation request for a node which is outside of the mempolicy nodemask would be reported as a hit which is a bit weird but that was the case before b9f00e147f27 already.

mm, page_alloc: keep pcp count and list contents in sync if struct page is corrupted Vlastimil Babka pointed out that commit 479f854a207c ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP") will allow the per-cpu list counter to be out of sync with the per-cpu list contents if a struct page is corrupted. The consequence is an infinite loop if the per-cpu lists get fully drained by free_pcppages_bulk because all the lists are empty but the count is positive. The infinite loop occurs here do { batch_free++; if (++migratetype == MIGRATE_PCPTYPES) migratetype = 0; list = &pcp->lists[migratetype]; } while (list_empty(list)); What the user sees is a bad page warning followed by a soft lockup with interrupts disabled in free_pcppages_bulk().

mm: make unreserve highatomic functions reliable Currently, unreserve_highatomic_pageblock bails out if it found highatomic pageblock regardless of really moving free pages from the one so that it could mitigate unreserve logic's goal which saves OOM of a process. This patch makes unreserve functions bail out only if it moves some pages out of !highatomic free list to avoid such false positive. Another potential problem is that by race between page freeing and reserve highatomic function, pages could be in highatomic free list even though the pageblock is !high atomic migratetype. In that case, unreserve_highatomic_pageblock can be void if count of highatomic reserve is less than pageblock_nr_pages. We could solve it simply via draining all of reserved pages before the OOM. It would have a safeguard role to exhuast reserved pages before converging to OOM.

mm: try to exhaust highatomic reserve before the OOM I got OOM report from production team with v4.4 kernel. It had enough free memory but failed to allocate GFP_KERNEL order-0 page and finally encountered OOM kill. It occured during QA process which launches several apps, switching and so on.

mm: prevent double decrease of nr_reserved_highatomic There is race between page freeing and unreserved highatomic. CPU 0 CPU 1 free_hot_cold_page mt = get_pfnblock_migratetype set_pcppage_migratetype(page, mt) unreserve_highatomic_pageblock spin_lock_irqsave(&zone->lock) move_freepages_block set_pageblock_migratetype(page) spin_unlock_irqrestore(&zone->lock) free_pcppages_bulk __free_one_page(mt) <- mt is stale By above race, a page on CPU 0 could go non-highorderatomic free list since the pageblock's type is changed. By that, unreserve logic of highorderatomic can decrease reserved count on a same pageblock severak times and then it will make mismatch between nr_reserved_highatomic and the number of reserved pageblock. So, this patch verifies whether the pageblock is highatomic or not and decrease the count only if the pageblock is highatomic.

This patch (of 4): In page freeing path, migratetype is racy so that a highorderatomic page could free into non-highorderatomic free list. If that page is allocated, VM can change the pageblock from higorderatomic to something. In that case, highatomic pageblock accounting is broken so it doesn't work(e.g., VM cannot reserve highorderatomic pageblocks any more although it doesn't reach 1% limit). So, this patch prohibits the changing from highatomic to other type. It's no problem because MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC is not listed in fallback array so stealing will only happen due to unexpected races which is really rare. Also, such prohibiting keeps highatomic pageblock more longer so it would be better for highorderatomic page allocation.

mm: remove per-zone hashtable of bitlock waitqueues The per-zone waitqueues exist because of a scalability issue with the page waitqueues on some NUMA machines, but it turns out that they hurt normal loads, and now with the vmalloced stacks they also end up breaking gfs2 that uses a bit_wait on a stack object: wait_on_bit(&gh->gh_iflags, HIF_WAIT, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) where 'gh' can be a reference to the local variable 'mount_gh' on the stack of fill_super(). The reason the per-zone hash table breaks for this case is that there is no "zone" for virtual allocations, and trying to look up the physical page to get at it will fail (with a BUG_ON()). It turns out that I actually complained to the mm people about the per-zone hash table for another reason just a month ago: the zone lookup also hurts the regular use of "unlock_page()" a lot, because the zone lookup ends up forcing several unnecessary cache misses and generates horrible code. As part of that earlier discussion, we had a much better solution for the NUMA scalability issue - by just making the page lock have a separate contention bit, the waitqueue doesn't even have to be looked at for the normal case. Peter Zijlstra already has a patch for that, but let's see if anybody even notices. In the meantime, let's fix the actual gfs2 breakage by simplifying the bitlock waitqueues and removing the per-zone issue.

mm/page_alloc: Remove kernel address exposure in free_reserved_area() Linus suggested we try to remove some of the low-hanging fruit related to kernel address exposure in dmesg. The only leaks I see on my local system are: Freeing SMP alternatives memory: 32K (ffffffff9e309000 - ffffffff9e311000) Freeing initrd memory: 10588K (ffffa0b736b42000 - ffffa0b737599000) Freeing unused kernel memory: 3592K (ffffffff9df87000 - ffffffff9e309000) Freeing unused kernel memory: 1352K (ffffa0b7288ae000 - ffffa0b728a00000) Freeing unused kernel memory: 632K (ffffa0b728d62000 - ffffa0b728e00000) Linus says: "I suspect we should just remove [the addresses in the 'Freeing' messages]. I'm sure they are useful in theory, but I suspect they were more useful back when the whole "free init memory" was originally done. These days, if we have a use-after-free, I suspect the init-mem situation is the easiest situation by far. Compared to all the dynamic allocations which are much more likely to show it anyway. So having debug output for that case is likely not all that productive." With this patch the freeing messages now look like this: Freeing SMP alternatives memory: 32K Freeing initrd memory: 10588K Freeing unused kernel memory: 3592K Freeing unused kernel memory: 1352K Freeing unused kernel memory: 632K Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: H.

latent_entropy: Mark functions with __latent_entropy The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and variables. If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then the plugin will initialize it with random contents. The variable must be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields. These specific functions have been selected because they are init functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of latent entropy.

gcc-plugins: Add latent_entropy plugin This adds a new gcc plugin named "latent_entropy". It is designed to extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot time as possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in CPU operation (due to runtime data differences, hardware differences, SMP ordering, thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc). At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example for how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals. The need for very-early boot entropy tends to be very architecture or system design specific, so this plugin is more suited for those sorts of special cases. The existing kernel RNG already attempts to extract entropy from reliable runtime variation, but this plugin takes the idea to a logical extreme by permuting a global variable based on any variation in code execution (e.g. a different value (and permutation function) is used to permute the global based on loop count, case statement, if/then/else branching, etc). To do this, the plugin starts by inserting a local variable in every marked function. The plugin then adds logic so that the value of this variable is modified by randomly chosen operations (add, xor and rol) and random values (gcc generates separate static values for each location at compile time and also injects the stack pointer at runtime). The resulting value depends on the control flow path (e.g., loops and branches taken). Before the function returns, the plugin mixes this local variable into the latent_entropy global variable. The value of this global variable is added to the kernel entropy pool in do_one_initcall() and _do_fork(), though it does not credit any bytes of entropy to the pool; the contents of the global are just used to mix the pool. Additionally, the plugin can pre-initialize arrays with build-time random contents, so that two different kernel builds running on identical hardware will not have the same starting values.

mm: warn about allocations which stall for too long Currently we do warn only about allocation failures but small allocations are basically nofail and they might loop in the page allocator for a long time. Especially when the reclaim cannot make any progress - e.g. GFP_NOFS cannot invoke the oom killer and rely on a different context to make a forward progress in case there is a lot memory used by filesystems. Give us at least a clue when something like this happens and warn about allocations which take more than 10s. Print the basic allocation context information along with the cumulative time spent in the allocation as well as the allocation stack. Repeat the warning after every 10 seconds so that we know that the problem is permanent rather than ephemeral.

mm: consolidate warn_alloc_failed users warn_alloc_failed is currently used from the page and vmalloc allocators. This is a good reuse of the code except that vmalloc would appreciate a slightly different warning message. This is already handled by the fmt parameter except that "%s: page allocation failure: order:%u, mode:%#x(%pGg)" is printed anyway. This might be quite misleading because it might be a vmalloc failure which leads to the warning while the page allocator is not the culprit here. Fix this by always using the fmt string and only print the context that makes sense for the particular context (e.g. order makes only very little sense for the vmalloc context). Rename the function to not miss any user and also because a later patch will reuse it also for !failure cases.

mm, compaction: restrict full priority to non-costly orders The new ultimate compaction priority disables some heuristics, which may result in excessive cost. This is fine for non-costly orders where we want to try hard before resulting for OOM, but might be disruptive for costly orders which do not trigger OOM and should generally have some fallback. Thus, we disable the full priority for costly orders.

mm, compaction: more reliably increase direct compaction priority During reclaim/compaction loop, compaction priority can be increased by the should_compact_retry() function, but the current code is not optimal. Priority is only increased when compaction_failed() is true, which means that compaction has scanned the whole zone. This may not happen even after multiple attempts with a lower priority due to parallel activity, so we might needlessly struggle on the lower priorities and possibly run out of compaction retry attempts in the process. After this patch we are guaranteed at least one attempt at the highest compaction priority even if we exhaust all retries at the lower priorities.

Revert "mm, oom: prevent premature OOM killer invocation for high order request" Patch series "reintroduce compaction feedback for OOM decisions". After several people reported OOM's for order-2 allocations in 4.7 due to Michal Hocko's OOM rework, he reverted the part that considered compaction feedback [1] in the decisions to retry reclaim/compaction. This was to provide a fix quickly for 4.8 rc and 4.7 stable series, while mmotm had an almost complete solution that instead improved compaction reliability. This series completes the mmotm solution and reintroduces the compaction feedback into OOM decisions. The first two patches restore the state of mmotm before the temporary solution was merged, the last patch should be the missing piece for reliability. The third patch restricts the hardened compaction to non-costly orders, since costly orders don't result in OOMs in the first place. [1] http://marc.info/?i=20160822093249.GA14916%40dhcp22.suse.cz%3E This patch (of 4): Commit 6b4e3181d7bd ("mm, oom: prevent premature OOM killer invocation for high order request") was intended as a quick fix of OOM regressions for 4.8 and stable 4.7.x kernels. For a better long-term solution, we still want to consider compaction feedback, which should be possible after some more improvements in the following patches. This reverts commit 6b4e3181d7bd5ca5ab6f45929e4a5ffa7ab4ab7f.

mm: introduce arch_reserved_kernel_pages() Currently arch specific code can reserve memory blocks but alloc_large_system_hash() may not take it into consideration when sizing the hashes. This can lead to bigger hash than required and lead to no available memory for other purposes. This is specifically true for systems with CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT enabled. One approach to solve this problem would be to walk through the memblock regions and calculate the available memory and base the size of hash system on the available memory. The other approach would be to depend on the architecture to provide the number of pages that are reserved. This change provides hooks to allow the architecture to provide the required info.

mm/page_ext: support extra space allocation by page_ext user Until now, if some page_ext users want to use it's own field on page_ext, it should be defined in struct page_ext by hard-coding. It has a problem that wastes memory in following situation. struct page_ext { #ifdef CONFIG_A int a; #endif #ifdef CONFIG_B int b; #endif }; Assume that kernel is built with both CONFIG_A and CONFIG_B. Even if we enable feature A and doesn't enable feature B at runtime, each entry of struct page_ext takes two int rather than one int. It's undesirable result so this patch tries to fix it. To solve above problem, this patch implements to support extra space allocation at runtime. When need() callback returns true, it's extra memory requirement is summed to entry size of page_ext. Also, offset for each user's extra memory space is returned. With this offset, user can use this extra space and there is no need to define needed field on page_ext by hard-coding. This patch only implements an infrastructure. Following patch will use it for page_owner which is only user having it's own fields on page_ext.

mm/debug_pagealloc.c: don't allocate page_ext if we don't use guard page What debug_pagealloc does is just mapping/unmapping page table. Basically, it doesn't need additional memory space to memorize something. But, with guard page feature, it requires additional memory to distinguish if the page is for guard or not. Guard page is only used when debug_guardpage_minorder is non-zero so this patch removes additional memory allocation (page_ext) if debug_guardpage_minorder is zero. It saves memory if we just use debug_pagealloc and not guard page.

That's because we have an empty normal zone, the present pages is zero, but its spanned pages is not zero. e.g. Zone ranges: DMA [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x0000000000ffffff] DMA32 [mem 0x0000000001000000-0x00000000ffffffff] Normal [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000007c7fffffff] Movable zone start for each node Node 1: 0x0000001080000000 Node 2: 0x0000002080000000 Node 3: 0x0000003080000000 Node 4: 0x0000003c80000000 Node 5: 0x0000004c80000000 Node 6: 0x0000005c80000000 Early memory node ranges node 0: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009ffff] node 0: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x000000007552afff] node 0: [mem 0x000000007bd46000-0x000000007bd46fff] node 0: [mem 0x000000007bdcd000-0x000000007bffffff] node 0: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000107fffffff] node 1: [mem 0x0000001080000000-0x000000207fffffff] node 2: [mem 0x0000002080000000-0x000000307fffffff] node 3: [mem 0x0000003080000000-0x0000003c7fffffff] node 4: [mem 0x0000003c80000000-0x0000004c7fffffff] node 5: [mem 0x0000004c80000000-0x0000005c7fffffff] node 6: [mem 0x0000005c80000000-0x0000006c7fffffff] node 7: [mem 0x0000006c80000000-0x0000007c7fffffff] node1: Normal, start=0x1080000, present=0x0, spanned=0x1000000 Movable, start=0x1080000, present=0x1000000, spanned=0x1000000 pgdat, start=0x1080000, present=0x1000000, spanned=0x2000000 After this patch, the problem is fixed. node1: Normal, start=0x0, present=0x0, spanned=0x0 Movable, start=0x1080000, present=0x1000000, spanned=0x1000000 pgdat, start=0x1080000, present=0x1000000, spanned=0x1000000 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/57A325E8.6070100@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Xishi Qiu <qiuxishi@huawei.com> Cc: Taku Izumi <izumi.taku@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Cc: "Kirill A .

mm, compaction: require only min watermarks for non-costly orders The __compaction_suitable() function checks the low watermark plus a compact_gap() gap to decide if there's enough free memory to perform compaction. Then __isolate_free_page uses low watermark check to decide if particular free page can be isolated. In the latter case, using low watermark is needlessly pessimistic, as the free page isolations are only temporary. For __compaction_suitable() the higher watermark makes sense for high-order allocations where more freepages increase the chance of success, and we can typically fail with some order-0 fallback when the system is struggling to reach that watermark. But for low-order allocation, forming the page should not be that hard. So using low watermark here might just prevent compaction from even trying, and eventually lead to OOM killer even if we are above min watermarks. So after this patch, we use min watermark for non-costly orders in __compaction_suitable(), and for all orders in __isolate_free_page().

mm, compaction: use proper alloc_flags in __compaction_suitable() The __compaction_suitable() function checks the low watermark plus a compact_gap() gap to decide if there's enough free memory to perform compaction. This check uses direct compactor's alloc_flags, but that's wrong, since these flags are not applicable for freepage isolation. For example, alloc_flags may indicate access to memory reserves, making compaction proceed, and then fail watermark check during the isolation. A similar problem exists for ALLOC_CMA, which may be part of alloc_flags, but not during freepage isolation. In this case however it makes sense to use ALLOC_CMA both in __compaction_suitable() and __isolate_free_page(), since there's actually nothing preventing the freepage scanner to isolate from CMA pageblocks, with the assumption that a page that could be migrated once by compaction can be migrated also later by CMA allocation. Thus we should count pages in CMA pageblocks when considering compaction suitability and when isolating freepages. To sum up, this patch should remove some false positives from __compaction_suitable(), and allow compaction to proceed when free pages required for compaction reside in the CMA pageblocks.

mm, vmscan: only allocate and reclaim from zones with pages managed by the buddy allocator Firmware Assisted Dump (FA_DUMP) on ppc64 reserves substantial amounts of memory when booting a secondary kernel. Srikar Dronamraju reported that multiple nodes may have no memory managed by the buddy allocator but still return true for populated_zone(). Commit 1d82de618ddd ("mm, vmscan: make kswapd reclaim in terms of nodes") was reported to cause kswapd to spin at 100% CPU usage when fadump was enabled. The old code happened to deal with the situation of a populated node with zero free pages by co-incidence but the current code tries to reclaim populated zones without realising that is impossible. We cannot just convert populated_zone() as many existing users really need to check for present_pages. This patch introduces a managed_zone() helper and uses it in the few cases where it is critical that the check is made for managed pages -- zonelist construction and page reclaim.

mm, oom: prevent premature OOM killer invocation for high order request There have been several reports about pre-mature OOM killer invocation in 4.7 kernel when order-2 allocation request (for the kernel stack) invoked OOM killer even during basic workloads (light IO or even kernel compile on some filesystems). In all reported cases the memory is fragmented and there are no order-2+ pages available. There is usually a large amount of slab memory (usually dentries/inodes) and further debugging has shown that there are way too many unmovable blocks which are skipped during the compaction. Multiple reporters have confirmed that the current linux-next which includes [1] and [2] helped and OOMs are not reproducible anymore. A simpler fix for the late rc and stable is to simply ignore the compaction feedback and retry as long as there is a reclaim progress and we are not getting OOM for order-0 pages. We already do that for CONFING_COMPACTION=n so let's reuse the same code when compaction is enabled as well.

mm: memcontrol: only mark charged pages with PageKmemcg To distinguish non-slab pages charged to kmemcg we mark them PageKmemcg, which sets page->_mapcount to -512. Currently, we set/clear PageKmemcg in __alloc_pages_nodemask()/free_pages_prepare() for any page allocated with __GFP_ACCOUNT, including those that aren't actually charged to any cgroup, i.e. allocated from the root cgroup context. To avoid overhead in case cgroups are not used, we only do that if memcg_kmem_enabled() is true. The latter is set iff there are kmem-enabled memory cgroups (online or offline). The root cgroup is not considered kmem-enabled. As a result, if a page is allocated with __GFP_ACCOUNT for the root cgroup when there are kmem-enabled memory cgroups and is freed after all kmem-enabled memory cgroups were removed, e.g. # no memory cgroups has been created yet, create one mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test # run something allocating pages with __GFP_ACCOUNT, e.g. # a program using pipe dmesg | tail # remove the memory cgroup rmdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test we'll get bad page state bug complaining about page->_mapcount != -1: BUG: Bad page state in process swapper/0 pfn:1fd945c page:ffffea007f651700 count:0 mapcount:-511 mapping: (null) index:0x0 flags: 0x1000000000000000() To avoid that, let's mark with PageKmemcg only those pages that are actually charged to and hence pin a non-root memory cgroup.

mm, compaction: simplify contended compaction handling Async compaction detects contention either due to failing trylock on zone->lock or lru_lock, or by need_resched(). Since 1f9efdef4f3f ("mm, compaction: khugepaged should not give up due to need_resched()") the code got quite complicated to distinguish these two up to the __alloc_pages_slowpath() level, so different decisions could be taken for khugepaged allocations. After the recent changes, khugepaged allocations don't check for contended compaction anymore, so we again don't need to distinguish lock and sched contention, and simplify the current convoluted code a lot. However, I believe it's also possible to simplify even more and completely remove the check for contended compaction after the initial async compaction for costly orders, which was originally aimed at THP page fault allocations. There are several reasons why this can be done now: - with the new defaults, THP page faults no longer do reclaim/compaction at all, unless the system admin has overridden the default, or application has indicated via madvise that it can benefit from THP's. In both cases, it means that the potential extra latency is expected and worth the benefits. - even if reclaim/compaction proceeds after this patch where it previously wouldn't, the second compaction attempt is still async and will detect the contention and back off, if the contention persists - there are still heuristics like deferred compaction and pageblock skip bits in place that prevent excessive THP page fault latencies Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160721073614.24395-9-vbabka@suse.cz Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm, compaction: introduce direct compaction priority In the context of direct compaction, for some types of allocations we would like the compaction to either succeed or definitely fail while trying as hard as possible. Current async/sync_light migration mode is insufficient, as there are heuristics such as caching scanner positions, marking pageblocks as unsuitable or deferring compaction for a zone. At least the final compaction attempt should be able to override these heuristics. To communicate how hard compaction should try, we replace migration mode with a new enum compact_priority and change the relevant function signatures. In compact_zone_order() where struct compact_control is constructed, the priority is mapped to suitable control flags. This patch itself has no functional change, as the current priority levels are mapped back to the same migration modes as before. Expanding them will be done next. Note that !CONFIG_COMPACTION variant of try_to_compact_pages() is removed, as the only caller exists under CONFIG_COMPACTION.

mm, thp: remove __GFP_NORETRY from khugepaged and madvised allocations After the previous patch, we can distinguish costly allocations that should be really lightweight, such as THP page faults, with __GFP_NORETRY. This means we don't need to recognize khugepaged allocations via PF_KTHREAD anymore. We can also change THP page faults in areas where madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) was used to try as hard as khugepaged, as the process has indicated that it benefits from THP's and is willing to pay some initial latency costs. We can also make the flags handling less cryptic by distinguishing GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT (no reclaim at all, default mode in page fault) from GFP_TRANSHUGE (only direct reclaim, khugepaged default). Adding __GFP_NORETRY or __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM is done where needed. The patch effectively changes the current GFP_TRANSHUGE users as follows: * get_huge_zero_page() - the zero page lifetime should be relatively long and it's shared by multiple users, so it's worth spending some effort on it. We use GFP_TRANSHUGE, and __GFP_NORETRY is not added. This also restores direct reclaim to this allocation, which was unintentionally removed by commit e4a49efe4e7e ("mm: thp: set THP defrag by default to madvise and add a stall-free defrag option") * alloc_hugepage_khugepaged_gfpmask() - this is khugepaged, so latency is not an issue. So if khugepaged "defrag" is enabled (the default), do reclaim via GFP_TRANSHUGE without __GFP_NORETRY. We can remove the PF_KTHREAD check from page alloc. As a side-effect, khugepaged will now no longer check if the initial compaction was deferred or contended. This is OK, as khugepaged sleep times between collapsion attempts are long enough to prevent noticeable disruption, so we should allow it to spend some effort. * migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() - already was masking out __GFP_RECLAIM, so just convert to GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT which is equivalent. * alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask() - vma's with VM_HUGEPAGE (via madvise) are now allocating without __GFP_NORETRY. Other vma's keep using __GFP_NORETRY if direct reclaim/compaction is at all allowed (by default it's allowed only for madvised vma's). The rest is conversion to GFP_TRANSHUGE(_LIGHT).

mm, page_alloc: make THP-specific decisions more generic Since THP allocations during page faults can be costly, extra decisions are employed for them to avoid excessive reclaim and compaction, if the initial compaction doesn't look promising. The detection has never been perfect as there is no gfp flag specific to THP allocations. At this moment it checks the whole combination of flags that makes up GFP_TRANSHUGE, and hopes that no other users of such combination exist, or would mind being treated the same way. Extra care is also taken to separate allocations from khugepaged, where latency doesn't matter that much. It is however possible to distinguish these allocations in a simpler and more reliable way. The key observation is that after the initial compaction followed by the first iteration of "standard" reclaim/compaction, both __GFP_NORETRY allocations and costly allocations without __GFP_REPEAT are declared as failures: /* Do not loop if specifically requested */ if (gfp_mask & __GFP_NORETRY) goto nopage; /* * Do not retry costly high order allocations unless they are * __GFP_REPEAT */ if (order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER && !(gfp_mask & __GFP_REPEAT)) goto nopage; This means we can further distinguish allocations that are costly order *and* additionally include the __GFP_NORETRY flag. As it happens, GFP_TRANSHUGE allocations do already fall into this category. This will also allow other costly allocations with similar high-order benefit vs latency considerations to use this semantic. Furthermore, we can distinguish THP allocations that should try a bit harder (such as from khugepageed) by removing __GFP_NORETRY, as will be done in the next patch.

mm, page_alloc: restructure direct compaction handling in slowpath The retry loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath is supposed to keep trying reclaim and compaction (and OOM), until either the allocation succeeds, or returns with failure. Success here is more probable when reclaim precedes compaction, as certain watermarks have to be met for compaction to even try, and more free pages increase the probability of compaction success. On the other hand, starting with light async compaction (if the watermarks allow it), can be more efficient, especially for smaller orders, if there's enough free memory which is just fragmented. Thus, the current code starts with compaction before reclaim, and to make sure that the last reclaim is always followed by a final compaction, there's another direct compaction call at the end of the loop. This makes the code hard to follow and adds some duplicated handling of migration_mode decisions. It's also somewhat inefficient that even if reclaim or compaction decides not to retry, the final compaction is still attempted. Some gfp flags combination also shortcut these retry decisions by "goto noretry;", making it even harder to follow. This patch attempts to restructure the code with only minimal functional changes. The call to the first compaction and THP-specific checks are now placed above the retry loop, and the "noretry" direct compaction is removed. The initial compaction is additionally restricted only to costly orders, as we can expect smaller orders to be held back by watermarks, and only larger orders to suffer primarily from fragmentation. This better matches the checks in reclaim's shrink_zones(). There are two other smaller functional changes. One is that the upgrade from async migration to light sync migration will always occur after the initial compaction. This is how it has been until recent patch "mm, oom: protect !costly allocations some more", which introduced upgrading the mode based on COMPACT_COMPLETE result, but kept the final compaction always upgraded, which made it even more special. It's better to return to the simpler handling for now, as migration modes will be further modified later in the series. The second change is that once both reclaim and compaction declare it's not worth to retry the reclaim/compact loop, there is no final compaction attempt. As argued above, this is intentional. If that final compaction were to succeed, it would be due to a wrong retry decision, or simply a race with somebody else freeing memory for us. The main outcome of this patch should be simpler code. Logically, the initial compaction without reclaim is the exceptional case to the reclaim/compaction scheme, but prior to the patch, it was the last loop iteration that was exceptional. Now the code matches the logic better. The change also enable the following patches.

mm, page_alloc: don't retry initial attempt in slowpath After __alloc_pages_slowpath() sets up new alloc_flags and wakes up kswapd, it first tries get_page_from_freelist() with the new alloc_flags, as it may succeed e.g. due to using min watermark instead of low watermark. It makes sense to to do this attempt before adjusting zonelist based on alloc_flags/gfp_mask, as it's still relatively a fast path if we just wake up kswapd and successfully allocate. This patch therefore moves the initial attempt above the retry label and reorganizes a bit the part below the retry label. We still have to attempt get_page_from_freelist() on each retry, as some allocations cannot do that as part of direct reclaim or compaction, and yet are not allowed to fail (even though they do a WARN_ON_ONCE() and thus should not exist). We can reuse the call meant for ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS attempt and just set alloc_flags to ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS if the context allows it. As a side-effect, the attempts from direct reclaim/compaction will also no longer obey watermarks once this is set, but there's little harm in that. Kswapd wakeups are also done on each retry to be safe from potential races resulting in kswapd going to sleep while a process (that may not be able to reclaim by itself) is still looping.

mm, page_alloc: set alloc_flags only once in slowpath In __alloc_pages_slowpath(), alloc_flags doesn't change after it's initialized, so move the initialization above the retry: label. Also make the comment above the initialization more descriptive. The only exception in the alloc_flags being constant is ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS, which may change due to TIF_MEMDIE being set on the allocating thread. We can fix this, and make the code simpler and a bit more effective at the same time, by moving the part that determines ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS from gfp_to_alloc_flags() to gfp_pfmemalloc_allowed(). This means we don't have to mask out ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS in numerous places in __alloc_pages_slowpath() anymore. The only two tests for the flag can instead call gfp_pfmemalloc_allowed().

mm: track NR_KERNEL_STACK in KiB instead of number of stacks Currently, NR_KERNEL_STACK tracks the number of kernel stacks in a zone. This only makes sense if each kernel stack exists entirely in one zone, and allowing vmapped stacks could break this assumption. Since frv has THREAD_SIZE < PAGE_SIZE, we need to track kernel stack allocations in a unit that divides both THREAD_SIZE and PAGE_SIZE on all architectures. Keep it simple and use KiB.

mm: remove reclaim and compaction retry approximations If per-zone LRU accounting is available then there is no point approximating whether reclaim and compaction should retry based on pgdat statistics. This is effectively a revert of "mm, vmstat: remove zone and node double accounting by approximating retries" with the difference that inactive/active stats are still available. This preserves the history of why the approximation was retried and why it had to be reverted to handle OOM kills on 32-bit systems.

mm, vmstat: remove zone and node double accounting by approximating retries The number of LRU pages, dirty pages and writeback pages must be accounted for on both zones and nodes because of the reclaim retry logic, compaction retry logic and highmem calculations all depending on per-zone stats. Many lowmem allocations are immune from OOM kill due to a check in __alloc_pages_may_oom for (ac->high_zoneidx < ZONE_NORMAL) since commit 03668b3ceb0c ("oom: avoid oom killer for lowmem allocations"). The exception is costly high-order allocations or allocations that cannot fail. If the __alloc_pages_may_oom avoids OOM-kill for low-order lowmem allocations then it would fall through to __alloc_pages_direct_compact. This patch will blindly retry reclaim for zone-constrained allocations in should_reclaim_retry up to MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES. This is not ideal but without per-zone stats there are not many alternatives. The impact it that zone-constrained allocations may delay before considering the OOM killer. As there is no guarantee enough memory can ever be freed to satisfy compaction, this patch avoids retrying compaction for zone-contrained allocations. In combination, that means that the per-node stats can be used when deciding whether to continue reclaim using a rough approximation. While it is possible this will make the wrong decision on occasion, it will not infinite loop as the number of reclaim attempts is capped by MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES. The final step is calculating the number of dirtyable highmem pages. As those calculations only care about the global count of file pages in highmem. This patch uses a global counter used instead of per-zone stats as it is sufficient. In combination, this allows the per-zone LRU and dirty state counters to be removed.

mm: convert zone_reclaim to node_reclaim As reclaim is now per-node based, convert zone_reclaim to be node_reclaim. It is possible that a node will be reclaimed multiple times if it has multiple zones but this is unavoidable without caching all nodes traversed so far. The documentation and interface to userspace is the same from a configuration perspective and will will be similar in behaviour unless the node-local allocation requests were also limited to lower zones.

mm, page_alloc: wake kswapd based on the highest eligible zone The ac_classzone_idx is used as the basis for waking kswapd and that is based on the preferred zoneref. If the preferred zoneref's first zone is lower than what is available on other nodes, it's possible that kswapd is woken on a zone with only higher, but still eligible, zones. As classzone_idx is strictly adhered to now, it causes a problem because eligible pages are skipped. For example, node 0 has only DMA32 and node 1 has only NORMAL. An allocating context running on node 0 may wake kswapd on node 1 telling it to skip all NORMAL pages.

mm, vmscan: only wakeup kswapd once per node for the requested classzone kswapd is woken when zones are below the low watermark but the wakeup decision is not taking the classzone into account. Now that reclaim is node-based, it is only required to wake kswapd once per node and only if all zones are unbalanced for the requested classzone. Note that one node might be checked multiple times if the zonelist is ordered by node because there is no cheap way of tracking what nodes have already been visited. For zone-ordering, each node should be checked only once.

mm: move most file-based accounting to the node There are now a number of accounting oddities such as mapped file pages being accounted for on the node while the total number of file pages are accounted on the zone. This can be coped with to some extent but it's confusing so this patch moves the relevant file-based accounted. Due to throttling logic in the page allocator for reliable OOM detection, it is still necessary to track dirty and writeback pages on a per-zone basis.

mm, vmscan: make shrink_node decisions more node-centric Earlier patches focused on having direct reclaim and kswapd use data that is node-centric for reclaiming but shrink_node() itself still uses too much zone information.

Some memcg APIs are adjusted as a result even though memcg itself still uses some zone information.

mm, vmscan: simplify the logic deciding whether kswapd sleeps kswapd goes through some complex steps trying to figure out if it should stay awake based on the classzone_idx and the requested order. It is unnecessarily complex and passes in an invalid classzone_idx to balance_pgdat(). What matters most of all is whether a larger order has been requsted and whether kswapd successfully reclaimed at the previous order. This patch irons out the logic to check just that and the end result is less headache inducing.

mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking. Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node logic. Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and active sizes. It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks. Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note that it introduces a number of anomalies. For example, the scans are per-zone but using per-node counters. We also mark a node as congested when a zone is congested. This causes weird problems that are fixed later but is easier to review. In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions 1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list. That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages. 2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.

This is a preparation patch that just moves the lru_lock to the node so later patches are easier to review. It is a mechanical change but note this patch makes contention worse because the LRU lock is hotter and direct reclaim and kswapd can contend on the same lock even when reclaiming from different zones.

mm, vmstat: add infrastructure for per-node vmstats Patchset: "Move LRU page reclaim from zones to nodes v9" This series moves LRUs from the zones to the node. While this is a current rebase, the test results were based on mmotm as of June 23rd. Conceptually, this series is simple but there are a lot of details. Some of the broad motivations for this are; 1. The residency of a page partially depends on what zone the page was allocated from. This is partially combatted by the fair zone allocation policy but that is a partial solution that introduces overhead in the page allocator paths. 2. Currently, reclaim on node 0 behaves slightly different to node 1. For example, direct reclaim scans in zonelist order and reclaims even if the zone is over the high watermark regardless of the age of pages in that LRU. Kswapd on the other hand starts reclaim on the highest unbalanced zone. A difference in distribution of file/anon pages due to when they were allocated results can result in a difference in again. While the fair zone allocation policy mitigates some of the problems here, the page reclaim results on a multi-zone node will always be different to a single-zone node. it was scheduled on as a result. 3. kswapd and the page allocator scan zones in the opposite order to avoid interfering with each other but it's sensitive to timing. This mitigates the page allocator using pages that were allocated very recently in the ideal case but it's sensitive to timing. When kswapd is allocating from lower zones then it's great but during the rebalancing of the highest zone, the page allocator and kswapd interfere with each other. It's worse if the highest zone is small and difficult to balance. 4. slab shrinkers are node-based which makes it harder to identify the exact relationship between slab reclaim and LRU reclaim. The reason we have zone-based reclaim is that we used to have large highmem zones in common configurations and it was necessary to quickly find ZONE_NORMAL pages for reclaim. Today, this is much less of a concern as machines with lots of memory will (or should) use 64-bit kernels. Combinations of 32-bit hardware and 64-bit hardware are rare. Machines that do use highmem should have relatively low highmem:lowmem ratios than we worried about in the past. Conceptually, moving to node LRUs should be easier to understand. The page allocator plays fewer tricks to game reclaim and reclaim behaves similarly on all nodes. The series has been tested on a 16 core UMA machine and a 2-socket 48 core NUMA machine. The UMA results are presented in most cases as the NUMA machine behaved similarly. pagealloc --------- This is a microbenchmark that shows the benefit of removing the fair zone allocation policy.

It's also worth noting that no page writes were issued from reclaim context. This series is not without its hazards. There are at least three areas that I'm concerned with even though I could not reproduce any problems in that area. 1. Reclaim/compaction is going to be affected because the amount of reclaim is no longer targetted at a specific zone. Compaction works on a per-zone basis so there is no guarantee that reclaiming a few THP's worth page pages will have a positive impact on compaction success rates. 2. The Slab/LRU reclaim ratio is affected because the frequency the shrinkers are called is now different. This may or may not be a problem but if it is, it'll be because shrinkers are not called enough and some balancing is required. 3. The anon/file reclaim ratio may be affected. Pages about to be dirtied are distributed between zones and the fair zone allocation policy used to do something very similar for anon. The distribution is now different but not necessarily in any way that matters but it's still worth bearing in mind. VM statistic counters for reclaim decisions are zone-based. If the kernel is to reclaim on a per-node basis then we need to track per-node statistics but there is no infrastructure for that. The most notable change is that the old node_page_state is renamed to sum_zone_node_page_state. The new node_page_state takes a pglist_data and uses per-node stats but none exist yet. There is some renaming such as vm_stat to vm_zone_stat and the addition of vm_node_stat and the renaming of mod_state to mod_zone_state. Otherwise, this is mostly a mechanical patch with no functional change. There is a lot of similarity between the node and zone helpers which is unfortunate but there was no obvious way of reusing the code and maintaining type safety.

mm: charge/uncharge kmemcg from generic page allocator paths Currently, to charge a non-slab allocation to kmemcg one has to use alloc_kmem_pages helper with __GFP_ACCOUNT flag. A page allocated with this helper should finally be freed using free_kmem_pages, otherwise it won't be uncharged. This API suits its current users fine, but it turns out to be impossible to use along with page reference counting, i.e. when an allocation is supposed to be freed with put_page, as it is the case with pipe or unix socket buffers. To overcome this limitation, this patch moves charging/uncharging to generic page allocator paths, i.e. to __alloc_pages_nodemask and free_pages_prepare, and zaps alloc/free_kmem_pages helpers. This way, one can use any of the available page allocation functions to get the allocated page charged to kmemcg - it's enough to pass __GFP_ACCOUNT, just like in case of kmalloc and friends. A charged page will be automatically uncharged on free. To make it possible, we need to mark pages charged to kmemcg somehow. To avoid introducing a new page flag, we make use of page->_mapcount for marking such pages. Since pages charged to kmemcg are not supposed to be mapped to userspace, it should work just fine. There are other (ab)users of page->_mapcount - buddy and balloon pages - but we don't conflict with them. In case kmemcg is compiled out or not used at runtime, this patch introduces no overhead to generic page allocator paths. If kmemcg is used, it will be plus one gfp flags check on alloc and plus one page->_mapcount check on free, which shouldn't hurt performance, because the data accessed are hot.

mm/page_alloc: introduce post allocation processing on page allocator This patch is motivated from Hugh and Vlastimil's concern [1]. There are two ways to get freepage from the allocator. One is using normal memory allocation API and the other is __isolate_free_page() which is internally used for compaction and pageblock isolation. Later usage is rather tricky since it doesn't do whole post allocation processing done by normal API. One problematic thing I already know is that poisoned page would not be checked if it is allocated by __isolate_free_page(). Perhaps, there would be more. We could add more debug logic for allocated page in the future and this separation would cause more problem. I'd like to fix this situation at this time. Solution is simple. This patch commonize some logic for newly allocated page and uses it on all sites. This will solve the problem.

But, it has a drawback that head page and the others have different stacktrace because callsite of set_page_owner() is slightly differnt. To avoid this problem, this patch copies head page's page_owner to the others. It needs to introduce new function, split_page_owner() but it also remove the other function, get_page_owner_gfp() so looks good to do.

This is also preparation step to use stackdepot in page owner feature. Stackdepot allocates new pages when there is no reserved space and holding the zone lock in this case will cause deadlock.

mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page migration We have allowed migration for only LRU pages until now and it was enough to make high-order pages. But recently, embedded system(e.g., webOS, android) uses lots of non-movable pages(e.g., zram, GPU memory) so we have seen several reports about troubles of small high-order allocation. For fixing the problem, there were several efforts (e,g,. enhance compaction algorithm, SLUB fallback to 0-order page, reserved memory, vmalloc and so on) but if there are lots of non-movable pages in system, their solutions are void in the long run. So, this patch is to support facility to change non-movable pages with movable. For the feature, this patch introduces functions related to migration to address_space_operations as well as some page flags. If a driver want to make own pages movable, it should define three functions which are function pointers of struct address_space_operations. 1. bool (*isolate_page) (struct page *page, isolate_mode_t mode); What VM expects on isolate_page function of driver is to return *true* if driver isolates page successfully. On returing true, VM marks the page as PG_isolated so concurrent isolation in several CPUs skip the page for isolation. If a driver cannot isolate the page, it should return *false*. Once page is successfully isolated, VM uses page.lru fields so driver shouldn't expect to preserve values in that fields. 2. int (*migratepage) (struct address_space *mapping, struct page *newpage, struct page *oldpage, enum migrate_mode); After isolation, VM calls migratepage of driver with isolated page. The function of migratepage is to move content of the old page to new page and set up fields of struct page newpage. Keep in mind that you should indicate to the VM the oldpage is no longer movable via __ClearPageMovable() under page_lock if you migrated the oldpage successfully and returns 0. If driver cannot migrate the page at the moment, driver can return -EAGAIN. On -EAGAIN, VM will retry page migration in a short time because VM interprets -EAGAIN as "temporal migration failure". On returning any error except -EAGAIN, VM will give up the page migration without retrying in this time. Driver shouldn't touch page.lru field VM using in the functions. 3. void (*putback_page)(struct page *); If migration fails on isolated page, VM should return the isolated page to the driver so VM calls driver's putback_page with migration failed page. In this function, driver should put the isolated page back to the own data structure. 4. non-lru movable page flags There are two page flags for supporting non-lru movable page. * PG_movable Driver should use the below function to make page movable under page_lock. void __SetPageMovable(struct page *page, struct address_space *mapping) It needs argument of address_space for registering migration family functions which will be called by VM. Exactly speaking, PG_movable is not a real flag of struct page. Rather than, VM reuses page->mapping's lower bits to represent it. #define PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE 0x2 page->mapping = page->mapping | PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE; so driver shouldn't access page->mapping directly. Instead, driver should use page_mapping which mask off the low two bits of page->mapping so it can get right struct address_space. For testing of non-lru movable page, VM supports __PageMovable function. However, it doesn't guarantee to identify non-lru movable page because page->mapping field is unified with other variables in struct page. As well, if driver releases the page after isolation by VM, page->mapping doesn't have stable value although it has PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE (Look at __ClearPageMovable). But __PageMovable is cheap to catch whether page is LRU or non-lru movable once the page has been isolated. Because LRU pages never can have PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE in page->mapping. It is also good for just peeking to test non-lru movable pages before more expensive checking with lock_page in pfn scanning to select victim. For guaranteeing non-lru movable page, VM provides PageMovable function. Unlike __PageMovable, PageMovable functions validates page->mapping and mapping->a_ops->isolate_page under lock_page. The lock_page prevents sudden destroying of page->mapping. Driver using __SetPageMovable should clear the flag via __ClearMovablePage under page_lock before the releasing the page. * PG_isolated To prevent concurrent isolation among several CPUs, VM marks isolated page as PG_isolated under lock_page. So if a CPU encounters PG_isolated non-lru movable page, it can skip it. Driver doesn't need to manipulate the flag because VM will set/clear it automatically.

mm/init: fix zone boundary creation As a part of memory initialisation the architecture passes an array to free_area_init_nodes() which specifies the max PFN of each memory zone. This array is not necessarily monotonic (due to unused zones) so this array is parsed to build monotonic lists of the min and max PFN for each zone. ZONE_MOVABLE is special cased here as its limits are managed by the mm subsystem rather than the architecture. Unfortunately, this special casing is broken when ZONE_MOVABLE is the not the last zone in the zone list. The core of the issue is: if (i == ZONE_MOVABLE) continue; arch_zone_lowest_possible_pfn[i] = arch_zone_highest_possible_pfn[i-1]; As ZONE_MOVABLE is skipped the lowest_possible_pfn of the next zone will be set to zero. This patch fixes this bug by adding explicitly tracking where the next zone should start rather than relying on the contents arch_zone_highest_possible_pfn[]. Thie is low priority. To get bitten by this you need to enable a zone that appears after ZONE_MOVABLE in the zone_type enum. As far as I can tell this means running a kernel with ZONE_DEVICE or ZONE_CMA enabled, so I can't see this affecting too many people. I only noticed this because I've been fiddling with ZONE_DEVICE on powerpc and 4.6 broke my test kernel. This bug, in conjunction with the changes in Taku Izumi's kernelcore=mirror patch (d91749c1dda71) and powerpc being the odd architecture which initialises max_zone_pfn[] to ~0ul instead of 0 caused all of system memory to be placed into ZONE_DEVICE at boot, followed a panic since device memory cannot be used for kernel allocations. I've already submitted a patch to fix the powerpc specific bits, but I figured this should be fixed too.

While a machine without node 0 will boot with "mm, page_alloc: Always return a valid node from early_pfn_to_nid", it works because it assumes that nodes are always in PFN order.

mm, page_alloc: recalculate the preferred zoneref if the context can ignore memory policies The optimistic fast path may use cpuset_current_mems_allowed instead of of a NULL nodemask supplied by the caller for cpuset allocations. The preferred zone is calculated on this basis for statistic purposes and as a starting point in the zonelist iterator. However, if the context can ignore memory policies due to being atomic or being able to ignore watermarks then the starting point in the zonelist iterator is no longer correct. This patch resets the zonelist iterator in the allocator slowpath if the context can ignore memory policies. This will alter the zone used for statistics but only after it is known that it makes sense for that context. Resetting it before entering the slowpath would potentially allow an ALLOC_CPUSET allocation to be accounted for against the wrong zone. Note that while nodemask is not explicitly set to the original nodemask, it would only have been overwritten if cpuset_enabled() and it was reset before the slowpath was entered.

mm, page_alloc: prevent infinite loop in buffered_rmqueue() In DEBUG_VM kernel, we can hit infinite loop for order == 0 in buffered_rmqueue() when check_new_pcp() returns 1, because the bad page is never removed from the pcp list.

mm: use phys_addr_t for reserve_bootmem_region() arguments Since commit 92923ca3aace ("mm: meminit: only set page reserved in the memblock region") the reserved bit is set on reserved memblock regions. However start and end address are passed as unsigned long. This is only 32bit on i386, so it can end up marking the wrong pages reserved for ranges at 4GB and above. This was observed on a 32bit Xen dom0 which was booted with initial memory set to a value below 4G but allowing to balloon in memory (dom0_mem=1024M for example). This would define a reserved bootmem region for the additional memory (for example on a 8GB system there was a reverved region covering the 4GB-8GB range). But since the addresses were passed on as unsigned long, this was actually marking all pages from 0 to 4GB as reserved.

mm, oom: protect !costly allocations some more for !CONFIG_COMPACTION Joonsoo has reported that he is able to trigger OOM for !costly high order requests (heavy fork() workload close the OOM) with the new oom detection rework. This is because we rely only on should_reclaim_retry when the compaction is disabled and it only checks watermarks for the requested order and so we might trigger OOM when there is a lot of free memory. It is not very clear what are the usual workloads when the compaction is disabled. Relying on high order allocations heavily without any mechanism to create those orders except for unbound amount of reclaim is certainly not a good idea. To prevent from potential regressions let's help this configuration some. We have to sacrifice the determinsm though because there simply is none here possible. should_compact_retry implementation for !CONFIG_COMPACTION, which was empty so far, will do watermark check for order-0 on all eligible zones. This will cause retrying until either the reclaim cannot make any further progress or all the zones are depleted even for order-0 pages. This means that the number of retries is basically unbounded for !costly orders but that was the case before the rework as well so this shouldn't regress.

mm, oom, compaction: prevent from should_compact_retry looping for ever for costly orders "mm: consider compaction feedback also for costly allocation" has removed the upper bound for the reclaim/compaction retries based on the number of reclaimed pages for costly orders. While this is desirable the patch did miss a mis interaction between reclaim, compaction and the retry logic. The direct reclaim tries to get zones over min watermark while compaction backs off and returns COMPACT_SKIPPED when all zones are below low watermark + 1<<order gap. If we are getting really close to OOM then __compaction_suitable can keep returning COMPACT_SKIPPED a high order request (e.g. hugetlb order-9) while the reclaim is not able to release enough pages to get us over low watermark. The reclaim is still able to make some progress (usually trashing over few remaining pages) so we are not able to break out from the loop. I have seen this happening with the same test described in "mm: consider compaction feedback also for costly allocation" on a swapless system. The original problem got resolved by "vmscan: consider classzone_idx in compaction_ready" but it shows how things might go wrong when we approach the oom event horizont. The reason why compaction requires being over low rather than min watermark is not clear to me. This check was there essentially since 56de7263fcf3 ("mm: compaction: direct compact when a high-order allocation fails"). It is clearly an implementation detail though and we shouldn't pull it into the generic retry logic while we should be able to cope with such eventuality. The only place in should_compact_retry where we retry without any upper bound is for compaction_withdrawn() case. Introduce compaction_zonelist_suitable function which checks the given zonelist and returns true only if there is at least one zone which would would unblock __compaction_suitable if more memory got reclaimed. In this implementation it checks __compaction_suitable with NR_FREE_PAGES plus part of the reclaimable memory as the target for the watermark check. The reclaimable memory is reduced linearly by the allocation order. The idea is that we do not want to reclaim all the remaining memory for a single allocation request just unblock __compaction_suitable which doesn't guarantee we will make a further progress. The new helper is then used if compaction_withdrawn() feedback was provided so we do not retry if there is no outlook for a further progress. !costly requests shouldn't be affected much - e.g. order-2 pages would require to have at least 64kB on the reclaimable LRUs while order-9 would need at least 32M which should be enough to not lock up.

mm: consider compaction feedback also for costly allocation PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER retry logic is mostly handled inside should_reclaim_retry currently where we decide to not retry after at least order worth of pages were reclaimed or the watermark check for at least one zone would succeed after reclaiming all pages if the reclaim hasn't made any progress. Compaction feedback is mostly ignored and we just try to make sure that the compaction did at least something before giving up. The first condition was added by a41f24ea9fd6 ("page allocator: smarter retry of costly-order allocations) and it assumed that lumpy reclaim could have created a page of the sufficient order. Lumpy reclaim, has been removed quite some time ago so the assumption doesn't hold anymore. Remove the check for the number of reclaimed pages and rely on the compaction feedback solely. should_reclaim_retry now only makes sure that we keep retrying reclaim for high order pages only if they are hidden by watermaks so order-0 reclaim makes really sense. should_compact_retry now keeps retrying even for the costly allocations. The number of retries is reduced wrt. !costly requests because they are less important and harder to grant and so their pressure shouldn't cause contention for other requests or cause an over reclaim. We also do not reset no_progress_loops for costly request to make sure we do not keep reclaiming too agressively. This has been tested by running a process which fragments memory: - compact memory - mmap large portion of the memory (1920M on 2GRAM machine with 2G of swapspace) - MADV_DONTNEED single page in PAGE_SIZE*((1UL<<MAX_ORDER)-1) steps until certain amount of memory is freed (250M in my test) and reduce the step to (step / 2) + 1 after reaching the end of the mapping - then run a script which populates the page cache 2G (MemTotal) from /dev/zero to a new file And then tries to allocate nr_hugepages=$(awk '/MemAvailable/{printf "%d\n", $2/(2*1024)}' /proc/meminfo) huge pages. root@test1:~# echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory;echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory; ./fragment-mem-and-run /root/alloc_hugepages.sh 1920M 250M Node 0, zone DMA 31 28 31 10 2 0 2 1 2 3 1 Node 0, zone DMA32 437 319 171 50 28 25 20 16 16 14 437 * This is the /proc/buddyinfo after the compaction Done fragmenting. size=2013265920 freed=262144000 Node 0, zone DMA 165 48 3 1 2 0 2 2 2 2 0 Node 0, zone DMA32 35109 14575 185 51 41 12 6 0 0 0 0 * /proc/buddyinfo after memory got fragmented Executing "/root/alloc_hugepages.sh" Eating some pagecache 508623+0 records in 508623+0 records out 2083319808 bytes (2.1 GB) copied, 11.7292 s, 178 MB/s Node 0, zone DMA 3 5 3 1 2 0 2 2 2 2 0 Node 0, zone DMA32 111 344 153 20 24 10 3 0 0 0 0 * /proc/buddyinfo after page cache got eaten Trying to allocate 129 129 * 129 hugepages requested and all of them granted.

mm, oom: protect !costly allocations some more should_reclaim_retry will give up retries for higher order allocations if none of the eligible zones has any requested or higher order pages available even if we pass the watermak check for order-0. This is done because there is no guarantee that the reclaimable and currently free pages will form the required order. This can, however, lead to situations where the high-order request (e.g. order-2 required for the stack allocation during fork) will trigger OOM too early - e.g. after the first reclaim/compaction round. Such a system would have to be highly fragmented and there is no guarantee further reclaim/compaction attempts would help but at least make sure that the compaction was active before we go OOM and keep retrying even if should_reclaim_retry tells us to oom if - the last compaction round backed off or - we haven't completed at least MAX_COMPACT_RETRIES active compaction rounds. The first rule ensures that the very last attempt for compaction was not ignored while the second guarantees that the compaction has done some work. Multiple retries might be needed to prevent occasional pigggy backing of other contexts to steal the compacted pages before the current context manages to retry to allocate them. compaction_failed() is taken as a final word from the compaction that the retry doesn't make much sense. We have to be careful though because the first compaction round is MIGRATE_ASYNC which is rather weak as it ignores pages under writeback and gives up too easily in other situations. We therefore have to make sure that MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT mode has been used before we give up. With this logic in place we do not have to increase the migration mode unconditionally and rather do it only if the compaction failed for the weaker mode. A nice side effect is that the stronger migration mode is used only when really needed so this has a potential of smaller latencies in some cases. Please note that the compaction doesn't tell us much about how successful it was when returning compaction_made_progress so we just have to blindly trust that another retry is worthwhile and cap the number to something reasonable to guarantee a convergence. If the given number of successful retries is not sufficient for a reasonable workloads we should focus on the collected compaction tracepoints data and try to address the issue in the compaction code. If this is not feasible we can increase the retries limit.

mm: throttle on IO only when there are too many dirty and writeback pages wait_iff_congested has been used to throttle allocator before it retried another round of direct reclaim to allow the writeback to make some progress and prevent reclaim from looping over dirty/writeback pages without making any progress. We used to do congestion_wait before commit 0e093d99763e ("writeback: do not sleep on the congestion queue if there are no congested BDIs or if significant congestion is not being encountered in the current zone") but that led to undesirable stalls and sleeping for the full timeout even when the BDI wasn't congested. Hence wait_iff_congested was used instead. But it seems that even wait_iff_congested doesn't work as expected. We might have a small file LRU list with all pages dirty/writeback and yet the bdi is not congested so this is just a cond_resched in the end and can end up triggering pre mature OOM. This patch replaces the unconditional wait_iff_congested by congestion_wait which is executed only if we _know_ that the last round of direct reclaim didn't make any progress and dirty+writeback pages are more than a half of the reclaimable pages on the zone which might be usable for our target allocation. This shouldn't reintroduce stalls fixed by 0e093d99763e because congestion_wait is called only when we are getting hopeless when sleeping is a better choice than OOM with many pages under IO. We have to preserve logic introduced by commit 373ccbe59270 ("mm, vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make any progress") into the __alloc_pages_slowpath now that wait_iff_congested is not used anymore. As the only remaining user of wait_iff_congested is shrink_inactive_list we can remove the WQ specific short sleep from wait_iff_congested because the sleep is needed to be done only once in the allocation retry cycle.

mm, oom: rework oom detection __alloc_pages_slowpath has traditionally relied on the direct reclaim and did_some_progress as an indicator that it makes sense to retry allocation rather than declaring OOM. shrink_zones had to rely on zone_reclaimable if shrink_zone didn't make any progress to prevent from a premature OOM killer invocation - the LRU might be full of dirty or writeback pages and direct reclaim cannot clean those up. zone_reclaimable allows to rescan the reclaimable lists several times and restart if a page is freed. This is really subtle behavior and it might lead to a livelock when a single freed page keeps allocator looping but the current task will not be able to allocate that single page. OOM killer would be more appropriate than looping without any progress for unbounded amount of time. This patch changes OOM detection logic and pulls it out from shrink_zone which is too low to be appropriate for any high level decisions such as OOM which is per zonelist property. It is __alloc_pages_slowpath which knows how many attempts have been done and what was the progress so far therefore it is more appropriate to implement this logic. The new heuristic is implemented in should_reclaim_retry helper called from __alloc_pages_slowpath. It tries to be more deterministic and easier to follow. It builds on an assumption that retrying makes sense only if the currently reclaimable memory + free pages would allow the current allocation request to succeed (as per __zone_watermark_ok) at least for one zone in the usable zonelist. This alone wouldn't be sufficient, though, because the writeback might get stuck and reclaimable pages might be pinned for a really long time or even depend on the current allocation context. Therefore there is a backoff mechanism implemented which reduces the reclaim target after each reclaim round without any progress. This means that we should eventually converge to only NR_FREE_PAGES as the target and fail on the wmark check and proceed to OOM. The backoff is simple and linear with 1/16 of the reclaimable pages for each round without any progress. We are optimistic and reset counter for successful reclaim rounds. Costly high order pages mostly preserve their semantic and those without __GFP_REPEAT fail right away while those which have the flag set will back off after the amount of reclaimable pages reaches equivalent of the requested order. The only difference is that if there was no progress during the reclaim we rely on zone watermark check. This is more logical thing to do than previous 1<<order attempts which were a result of zone_reclaimable faking the progress.

mm, compaction: simplify __alloc_pages_direct_compact feedback interface __alloc_pages_direct_compact communicates potential back off by two variables: - deferred_compaction tells that the compaction returned COMPACT_DEFERRED - contended_compaction is set when there is a contention on zone->lock resp. zone->lru_lock locks __alloc_pages_slowpath then backs of for THP allocation requests to prevent from long stalls.

mm: vmscan: reduce size of inactive file list The inactive file list should still be large enough to contain readahead windows and freshly written file data, but it no longer is the only source for detecting multiple accesses to file pages. The workingset refault measurement code causes recently evicted file pages that get accessed again after a shorter interval to be promoted directly to the active list. With that mechanism in place, we can afford to (on a larger system) dedicate more memory to the active file list, so we can actually cache more of the frequently used file pages in memory, and not have them pushed out by streaming writes, once-used streaming file reads, etc. This can help things like database workloads, where only half the page cache can currently be used to cache the database working set. This patch automatically increases that fraction on larger systems, using the same ratio that has already been used for anonymous memory.

mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP Every page allocated checks a number of page fields for validity. This catches corruption bugs of pages that are already freed but it is expensive. This patch weakens the debugging check by checking PCP pages only when the PCP lists are being refilled. All compound pages are checked. This potentially avoids debugging checks entirely if the PCP lists are never emptied and refilled so some corruption issues may be missed.

mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of freed pages until a PCP drain Every page free checks a number of page fields for validity. This catches premature frees and corruptions but it is also expensive. This patch weakens the debugging check by checking PCP pages at the time they are drained from the PCP list. This will trigger the bug but the site that freed the corrupt page will be lost. To get the full context, a kernel rebuild with DEBUG_VM is necessary.

cpuset: use static key better and convert to new API An important function for cpusets is cpuset_node_allowed(), which optimizes on the fact if there's a single root CPU set, it must be trivially allowed. But the check "nr_cpusets() <= 1" doesn't use the cpusets_enabled_key static key the right way where static keys eliminate branching overhead with jump labels. This patch converts it so that static key is used properly. It's also switched to the new static key API and the checking functions are converted to return bool instead of int. We also provide a new variant __cpuset_zone_allowed() which expects that the static key check was already done and they key was enabled. This is needed for get_page_from_freelist() where we want to also avoid the relatively slower check when ALLOC_CPUSET is not set in alloc_flags. The impact on the page allocator microbenchmark is less than expected but the cleanup in itself is worthwhile. 4.6.0-rc2 4.6.0-rc2 multcheck-v1r20 cpuset-v1r20 Min alloc-odr0-1 348.00 ( 0.00%) 348.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-2 254.00 ( 0.00%) 254.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-4 213.00 ( 0.00%) 213.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-8 186.00 ( 0.00%) 183.00 ( 1.61%) Min alloc-odr0-16 173.00 ( 0.00%) 171.00 ( 1.16%) Min alloc-odr0-32 166.00 ( 0.00%) 163.00 ( 1.81%) Min alloc-odr0-64 162.00 ( 0.00%) 159.00 ( 1.85%) Min alloc-odr0-128 160.00 ( 0.00%) 157.00 ( 1.88%) Min alloc-odr0-256 169.00 ( 0.00%) 166.00 ( 1.78%) Min alloc-odr0-512 180.00 ( 0.00%) 180.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-1024 188.00 ( 0.00%) 187.00 ( 0.53%) Min alloc-odr0-2048 194.00 ( 0.00%) 193.00 ( 0.52%) Min alloc-odr0-4096 199.00 ( 0.00%) 198.00 ( 0.50%) Min alloc-odr0-8192 202.00 ( 0.00%) 201.00 ( 0.50%) Min alloc-odr0-16384 203.00 ( 0.00%) 202.00 ( 0.49%) Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Acked-by: Zefan Li <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm, page_alloc: pull out side effects from free_pages_check Check without side-effects should be easier to maintain. It also removes the duplicated cpupid and flags reset done in !DEBUG_VM variant of both free_pcp_prepare() and then bulkfree_pcp_prepare(). Finally, it enables the next patch. It shouldn't result in new branches, thanks to inlining of the check. !DEBUG_VM bloat-o-meter: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-27 (-27) function old new delta __free_pages_ok 748 739 -9 free_pcppages_bulk 1403 1385 -18 DEBUG_VM: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-28 (-28) function old new delta free_pages_prepare 806 778 -28 This is also slightly faster because cpupid information is not set on tail pages so we can avoid resets there.

mm, page_alloc: avoid unnecessary zone lookups during pageblock operations Pageblocks have an associated bitmap to store migrate types and whether the pageblock should be skipped during compaction. The bitmap may be associated with a memory section or a zone but the zone is looked up unconditionally. The compiler should optimise this away automatically so this is a cosmetic patch only in many cases.

mm, page_alloc: inline the fast path of the zonelist iterator The page allocator iterates through a zonelist for zones that match the addressing limitations and nodemask of the caller but many allocations will not be restricted. Despite this, there is always functional call overhead which builds up. This patch inlines the optimistic basic case and only calls the iterator function for the complex case. A hindrance was the fact that cpuset_current_mems_allowed is used in the fastpath as the allowed nodemask even though all nodes are allowed on most systems. The patch handles this by only considering cpuset_current_mems_allowed if a cpuset exists. As well as being faster in the fast-path, this removes some junk in the slowpath.

mm, page_alloc: only check PageCompound for high-order pages Another year, another round of page allocator optimisations focusing this time on the alloc and free fast paths. This should be of help to workloads that are allocator-intensive from kernel space where the cost of zeroing is not nceessraily incurred. The series is motivated by the observation that page alloc microbenchmarks on multiple machines regressed between 3.12.44 and 4.4. Second, there is discussions before LSF/MM considering the possibility of adding another page allocator which is potentially hazardous but a patch series improving performance is better than whining. After the series is applied, there are still hazards. In the free paths, the debugging checking and page zone/pageblock lookups dominate but there was not an obvious solution to that. In the alloc path, the major contributers are dealing with zonelists, new page preperation, the fair zone allocation and numerous statistic updates. The fair zone allocator is removed by the per-node LRU series if that gets merged so it's nor a major concern at the moment. On normal userspace benchmarks, there is little impact as the zeroing cost is significant but it's visible aim9 4.6.0-rc3 4.6.0-rc3 vanilla deferalloc-v3 Min page_test 828693.33 ( 0.00%) 887060.00 (

mm, oom: move GFP_NOFS check to out_of_memory __alloc_pages_may_oom is the central place to decide when the out_of_memory should be invoked. This is a good approach for most checks there because they are page allocator specific and the allocation fails right after for all of them. The notable exception is GFP_NOFS context which is faking did_some_progress and keep the page allocator looping even though there couldn't have been any progress from the OOM killer. This patch doesn't change this behavior because we are not ready to allow those allocation requests to fail yet (and maybe we will face the reality that we will never manage to safely fail these request). Instead __GFP_FS check is moved down to out_of_memory and prevent from OOM victim selection there. There are two reasons for that - OOM notifiers might release some memory even from this context as none of the registered notifier seems to be FS related - this might help a dying thread to get an access to memory reserves and move on which will make the behavior more consistent with the case when the task gets killed from a different context. Keep a comment in __alloc_pages_may_oom to make sure we do not forget how GFP_NOFS is special and that we really want to do something about it. Note to the current oom_notifier users: The observable difference for you is that oom notifiers cannot depend on any fs locks because we could deadlock. Not that this would be allowed today because that would just lockup machine in most of the cases and ruling out the OOM killer along the way. Another difference is that callbacks might be invoked sooner now because GFP_NOFS is a weaker reclaim context and so there could be reclaimable memory which is just not reachable now. That would require GFP_NOFS only loads which are really rare and more importantly the observable result would be dropping of reconstructible object and potential performance drop which is not such a big deal when we are struggling to fulfill other important allocation requests.

And, in following patches, ZONE_CMA will be introduced and it can be treated as highmem, too. So, instead of manually adding stat of ZONE_MOVABLE, looping all zones and check whether the zone is highmem or not and add stat of the zone which can be treated as highmem.

power: add zone range overlapping check There is a system thats node's pfns are overlapped as follows: -----pfn--------> N0 N1 N2 N0 N1 N2 Therefore, we need to care this overlapping when iterating pfn range. mark_free_pages() iterates requested zone's pfn range and unset all range's bitmap first. And then it marks freepages in a zone to the bitmap. If there is an overlapping zone, above unset could clear previous marked bit and reference to this bitmap in the future will cause the problem. To prevent it, this patch adds a zone check in mark_free_pages().

mm: rename _count, field of the struct page, to _refcount Many developers already know that field for reference count of the struct page is _count and atomic type. They would try to handle it directly and this could break the purpose of page reference count tracepoint. To prevent direct _count modification, this patch rename it to _refcount and add warning message on the code. After that, developer who need to handle reference count will find that field should not be accessed directly.

mm: update min_free_kbytes from khugepaged after core initialization Khugepaged attempts to raise min_free_kbytes if its set too low. However, on boot khugepaged sets min_free_kbytes first from subsys_initcall(), and then the mm 'core' over-rides min_free_kbytes after from init_per_zone_wmark_min(), via a module_init() call. Khugepaged used to use a late_initcall() to set min_free_kbytes (such that it occurred after the core initialization), however this was removed when the initialization of min_free_kbytes was integrated into the starting of the khugepaged thread. The fix here is simply to invoke the core initialization using a core_initcall() instead of module_init(), such that the previous initialization ordering is restored. I didn't restore the late_initcall() since start_stop_khugepaged() already sets min_free_kbytes via set_recommended_min_free_kbytes(). This was noticed when we had a number of page allocation failures when moving a workload to a kernel with this new initialization ordering. On an 8GB system this restores min_free_kbytes back to 67584 from 11365 when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y is set and either CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS=y or CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE=y.

Joonsoo had a theory that this is caused by unexpected merging between MIGRATE_ISOLATE and MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks: > CMA isolates MAX_ORDER aligned blocks, but, during the process, > partialy isolated block exists. If MAX_ORDER is 11 and > pageblock_order is 9, two pageblocks make up MAX_ORDER > aligned block and I can think following scenario because pageblock > (un)isolation would be done one by one. > > (each character means one pageblock.

This was supposed to be prevented by CMA operating on MAX_ORDER blocks, but since it doesn't hold the zone->lock between pageblocks, a race window does exist. It's also likely that unexpected merging can occur between MIGRATE_ISOLATE and non-CMA pageblocks. This should be prevented in __free_one_page() since commit 3c605096d315 ("mm/page_alloc: restrict max order of merging on isolated pageblock"). However, we only check the migratetype of the pageblock where buddy merging has been initiated, not the migratetype of the buddy pageblock (or group of pageblocks) which can be MIGRATE_ISOLATE. Joonsoo has suggested checking for buddy migratetype as part of page_is_buddy(), but that would add extra checks in allocator hotpath and bloat-o-meter has shown significant code bloat (the function is inline). This patch reduces the bloat at some expense of more complicated code. The buddy-merging while-loop in __free_one_page() is initially bounded to pageblock_border and without any migratetype checks. The checks are placed outside, bumping the max_order if merging is allowed, and returning to the while-loop with a statement which can't be possibly considered harmful. This fixes the accounting bug and also removes the arguably weird state in the original commit 3c605096d315 where buddies could be left unmerged.

mm: meminit: initialise more memory for inode/dentry hash tables in early boot Upstream has supported page parallel initialisation for X86 and the boot time is improved greately. Some tests have been done for Power. Here is the result I have done with different memory size. * 4GB memory: boot time is as the following: with patch vs without patch: 10.4s vs 24.5s boot time is improved 57% * 200GB memory: boot time looks the same with and without patches. boot time is about 38s * 32TB memory: boot time looks the same with and without patches boot time is about 160s. The boot time is much shorter than X86 with 24TB memory. From community discussion, it costs about 694s for X86 24T system. Parallel initialisation improves the performance by deferring memory initilisation to kswap with N kthreads, it should improve the performance therotically. In testing on X86, performance is improved greatly with huge memory. But on Power platform, it is improved greatly with less than 100GB memory. For huge memory, it is not improved greatly. But it saves the time with several threads at least, as the following information shows(32TB system log): [ 22.648169] node 9 initialised, 16607461 pages in 280ms [ 22.783772] node 3 initialised, 23937243 pages in 410ms [ 22.858877] node 6 initialised, 29179347 pages in 490ms [ 22.863252] node 2 initialised, 29179347 pages in 490ms [ 22.907545] node 0 initialised, 32049614 pages in 540ms [ 22.920891] node 15 initialised, 32212280 pages in 550ms [ 22.923236] node 4 initialised, 32306127 pages in 550ms [ 22.923384] node 12 initialised, 32314319 pages in 550ms [ 22.924754] node 8 initialised, 32314319 pages in 550ms [ 22.940780] node 13 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms [ 22.940796] node 11 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms [ 22.941700] node 5 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms [ 22.941721] node 10 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms [ 22.941876] node 7 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms [ 22.944946] node 14 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms [ 22.946063] node 1 initialised, 33345485 pages in 580ms It saves the time about 550*16 ms at least, although it can be ignore to compare the boot time about 160 seconds. What's more, the boot time is much shorter on Power even without patches than x86 for huge memory machine. So this patchset is still necessary to be enabled for Power. This patch (of 2): This patch is based on Mel Gorman's old patch in the mailing list, https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/5/280 which is discussed but it is fixed with a completion to wait for all memory initialised in page_alloc_init_late(). It is to fix the OOM problem on X86 with 24TB memory which allocates memory in late initialisation. But for Power platform with 32TB memory, it causes a call trace in vfs_caches_init->inode_init() and inode hash table needs more memory. So this patch allocates 1GB for 0.25TB/node for large system as it is mentioned in https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/1/627 This call trace is found on Power with 32TB memory, 1024CPUs, 16nodes. Currently, it only allocates 2GB*16=32GB for early initialisation. But Dentry cache hash table needes 16GB and Inode cache hash table needs 16GB. So the system have no enough memory for it. The log from dmesg as the following: Dentry cache hash table entries: 2147483648 (order: 18,17179869184 bytes) vmalloc: allocation failure, allocated 16021913600 of 17179934720 bytes swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:0,mode:0x2080020 CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.4.0-0-ppc64 Call Trace: .dump_stack+0xb4/0xb664 (unreliable) .warn_alloc_failed+0x114/0x160 .__vmalloc_area_node+0x1a4/0x2b0 .__vmalloc_node_range+0xe4/0x110 .__vmalloc_node+0x40/0x50 .alloc_large_system_hash+0x134/0x2a4 .inode_init+0xa4/0xf0 .vfs_caches_init+0x80/0x144 .start_kernel+0x40c/0x4e0 start_here_common+0x20/0x4a4 Signed-off-by: Li Zhang <zhlcindy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Cc: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm: introduce page reference manipulation functions The success of CMA allocation largely depends on the success of migration and key factor of it is page reference count. Until now, page reference is manipulated by direct calling atomic functions so we cannot follow up who and where manipulate it. Then, it is hard to find actual reason of CMA allocation failure. CMA allocation should be guaranteed to succeed so finding offending place is really important. In this patch, call sites where page reference is manipulated are converted to introduced wrapper function. This is preparation step to add tracepoint to each page reference manipulation function. With this facility, we can easily find reason of CMA allocation failure. There is no functional change in this patch. In addition, this patch also converts reference read sites. It will help a second step that renames page._count to something else and prevents later attempt to direct access to it (Suggested by Andrew).

mm: thp: set THP defrag by default to madvise and add a stall-free defrag option THP defrag is enabled by default to direct reclaim/compact but not wake kswapd in the event of a THP allocation failure. The problem is that THP allocation requests potentially enter reclaim/compaction. This potentially incurs a severe stall that is not guaranteed to be offset by reduced TLB misses. While there has been considerable effort to reduce the impact of reclaim/compaction, it is still a high cost and workloads that should fit in memory fail to do so. Specifically, a simple anon/file streaming workload will enter direct reclaim on NUMA at least even though the working set size is 80% of RAM. It's been years and it's time to throw in the towel. First, this patch defines THP defrag as follows; madvise: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact if the application requests it never: Neither reclaim/compact nor wake kswapd defer: A failed allocation will wake kswapd/kcompactd always: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact (historical behaviour) khugepaged defrag will enter direct/reclaim but not wake kswapd. Next it sets the default defrag option to be "madvise" to only enter direct reclaim/compaction for applications that specifically requested it. Lastly, it removes a check from the page allocator slowpath that is related to __GFP_THISNODE to allow "defer" to work. The callers that really cares are slub/slab and they are updated accordingly. The slab one may be surprising because it also corrects a comment as kswapd was never woken up by that path. This means that a THP fault will no longer stall for most applications by default and the ideal for most users that get THP if they are immediately available. There are still options for users that prefer a stall at startup of a new application by either restoring historical behaviour with "always" or pick a half-way point with "defer" where kswapd does some of the work in the background and wakes kcompactd if necessary. THP defrag for khugepaged remains enabled and will enter direct/reclaim but no wakeup kswapd or kcompactd. After this patch a THP allocation failure will quickly fallback and rely on khugepaged to recover the situation at some time in the future. In some cases, this will reduce THP usage but the benefit of THP is hard to measure and not a universal win where as a stall to reclaim/compaction is definitely measurable and can be painful. The first test for this is using "usemem" to read a large file and write a large anonymous mapping (to avoid the zero page) multiple times. The total size of the mappings is 80% of RAM and the benchmark simply measures how long it takes to complete. It uses multiple threads to see if that is a factor. On UMA, the performance is almost identical so is not reported but on NUMA, we see this usemem 4.4.0 4.4.0 kcompactd-v1r1 nodefrag-v1r3 Amean System-1 102.86 ( 0.00%) 46.81 ( 54.50%) Amean System-4 37.85 ( 0.00%) 34.02 ( 10.12%) Amean System-7 48.12 ( 0.00%) 46.89 ( 2.56%) Amean System-12 51.98 ( 0.00%) 56.96 ( -9.57%) Amean System-21 80.16 ( 0.00%) 79.05 ( 1.39%) Amean System-30 110.71 ( 0.00%) 107.17 ( 3.20%) Amean System-48 127.98 ( 0.00%) 124.83 ( 2.46%) Amean Elapsd-1 185.84 ( 0.00%) 105.51 ( 43.23%) Amean Elapsd-4 26.19 ( 0.00%) 25.58 ( 2.33%) Amean Elapsd-7 21.65 ( 0.00%) 21.62 ( 0.16%) Amean Elapsd-12 18.58 ( 0.00%) 17.94 ( 3.43%) Amean Elapsd-21 17.53 ( 0.00%) 16.60 ( 5.33%) Amean Elapsd-30 17.45 ( 0.00%) 17.13 ( 1.84%) Amean Elapsd-48 15.40 ( 0.00%) 15.27 ( 0.82%) For a single thread, the benchmark completes 43.23% faster with this patch applied with smaller benefits as the thread increases.

THP gives impressive gains in some cases but only if they are quickly available. We're not going to reach the point where they are completely free so lets take the costs out of the fast paths finally and defer the cost to kswapd, kcompactd and khugepaged where it belongs.

mm: scale kswapd watermarks in proportion to memory In machines with 140G of memory and enterprise flash storage, we have seen read and write bursts routinely exceed the kswapd watermarks and cause thundering herds in direct reclaim. Unfortunately, the only way to tune kswapd aggressiveness is through adjusting min_free_kbytes - the system's emergency reserves - which is entirely unrelated to the system's latency requirements. In order to get kswapd to maintain a 250M buffer of free memory, the emergency reserves need to be set to 1G. That is a lot of memory wasted for no good reason. On the other hand, it's reasonable to assume that allocation bursts and overall allocation concurrency scale with memory capacity, so it makes sense to make kswapd aggressiveness a function of that as well. Change the kswapd watermark scale factor from the currently fixed 25% of the tunable emergency reserve to a tunable 0.1% of memory. Beyond 1G of memory, this will produce bigger watermark steps than the current formula in default settings. Ensure that the new formula never chooses steps smaller than that, i.e. 25% of the emergency reserve. On a 140G machine, this raises the default watermark steps - the distance between min and low, and low and high - from 16M to 143M.

mm/page_alloc.c: calculate 'available' memory in a separate function Add a new field, VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_AVAIL, to virtio_balloon memory statistics protocol, corresponding to 'Available' in /proc/meminfo. It indicates to the hypervisor how big the balloon can be inflated without pushing the guest system to swap. This metric would be very useful in VM orchestration software to improve memory management of different VMs under overcommit. This patch (of 2): Factor out calculation of the available memory counter into a separate exportable function, in order to be able to use it in other parts of the kernel. In particular, it appears a relevant metric to report to the hypervisor via virtio-balloon statistics interface (in a followup patch).

mm, compaction: introduce kcompactd Memory compaction can be currently performed in several contexts: - kswapd balancing a zone after a high-order allocation failure - direct compaction to satisfy a high-order allocation, including THP page fault attemps - khugepaged trying to collapse a hugepage - manually from /proc The purpose of compaction is two-fold. The obvious purpose is to satisfy a (pending or future) high-order allocation, and is easy to evaluate. The other purpose is to keep overal memory fragmentation low and help the anti-fragmentation mechanism. The success wrt the latter purpose is more The current situation wrt the purposes has a few drawbacks: - compaction is invoked only when a high-order page or hugepage is not available (or manually). This might be too late for the purposes of keeping memory fragmentation low. - direct compaction increases latency of allocations. Again, it would be better if compaction was performed asynchronously to keep fragmentation low, before the allocation itself comes. - (a special case of the previous) the cost of compaction during THP page faults can easily offset the benefits of THP. - kswapd compaction appears to be complex, fragile and not working in some scenarios. It could also end up compacting for a high-order allocation request when it should be reclaiming memory for a later order-0 request. To improve the situation, we should be able to benefit from an equivalent of kswapd, but for compaction - i.e. a background thread which responds to fragmentation and the need for high-order allocations (including hugepages) somewhat proactively. One possibility is to extend the responsibilities of kswapd, which could however complicate its design too much. It should be better to let kswapd handle reclaim, as order-0 allocations are often more critical than high-order ones. Another possibility is to extend khugepaged, but this kthread is a single instance and tied to THP configs. This patch goes with the option of a new set of per-node kthreads called kcompactd, and lays the foundations, without introducing any new tunables. The lifecycle mimics kswapd kthreads, including the memory hotplug hooks. For compaction, kcompactd uses the standard compaction_suitable() and ompact_finished() criteria and the deferred compaction functionality. Unlike direct compaction, it uses only sync compaction, as there's no allocation latency to minimize. This patch doesn't yet add a call to wakeup_kcompactd. The kswapd compact/reclaim loop for high-order pages will be replaced by waking up kcompactd in the next patch with the description of what's wrong with the old approach. Waking up of the kcompactd threads is also tied to kswapd activity and follows these rules: - we don't want to affect any fastpaths, so wake up kcompactd only from the slowpath, as it's done for kswapd - if kswapd is doing reclaim, it's more important than compaction, so don't invoke kcompactd until kswapd goes to sleep - the target order used for kswapd is passed to kcompactd Future possible future uses for kcompactd include the ability to wake up kcompactd on demand in special situations, such as when hugepages are not available (currently not done due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD) or when a fragmentation event (i.e. __rmqueue_fallback()) occurs. It's also possible to perform periodic compaction with kcompactd.

mm/compaction: speed up pageblock_pfn_to_page() when zone is contiguous There is a performance drop report due to hugepage allocation and in there half of cpu time are spent on pageblock_pfn_to_page() in compaction [1]. In that workload, compaction is triggered to make hugepage but most of pageblocks are un-available for compaction due to pageblock type and skip bit so compaction usually fails. Most costly operations in this case is to find valid pageblock while scanning whole zone range. To check if pageblock is valid to compact, valid pfn within pageblock is required and we can obtain it by calling pageblock_pfn_to_page(). This function checks whether pageblock is in a single zone and return valid pfn if possible. Problem is that we need to check it every time before scanning pageblock even if we re-visit it and this turns out to be very expensive in this workload. Although we have no way to skip this pageblock check in the system where hole exists at arbitrary position, we can use cached value for zone continuity and just do pfn_to_page() in the system where hole doesn't exist. This optimization considerably speeds up in above workload. Before vs After Max: 1096 MB/s vs 1325 MB/s Min: 635 MB/s 1015 MB/s Avg: 899 MB/s 1194 MB/s Avg is improved by roughly 30% [2].

mm/page_poisoning.c: allow for zero poisoning By default, page poisoning uses a poison value (0xaa) on free. If this is changed to 0, the page is not only sanitized but zeroing on alloc with __GFP_ZERO can be skipped as well. The tradeoff is that detecting corruption from the poisoning is harder to detect. This feature also cannot be used with hibernation since pages are not guaranteed to be zeroed after hibernation.

It has uses apart from that though. Clearing of the pages on free provides an increase in security as it helps to limit the risk of information leaks. Allow page poisoning to be enabled as a separate option independent of kernel_map pages since the two features do separate work.

mm, page_owner: dump page owner info from dump_page() The page_owner mechanism is useful for dealing with memory leaks.

mm, page_owner: print migratetype of page and pageblock, symbolic flags The information in /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner includes the migratetype of the pageblock the page belongs to. This is also checked against the page's migratetype (as declared by gfp_flags during its allocation), and the page is reported as Fallback if its migratetype differs from the pageblock's one. t This is somewhat misleading because in fact fallback allocation is not the only reason why these two can differ. It also doesn't direcly provide the page's migratetype, although it's possible to derive that from the gfp_flags. It's arguably better to print both page and pageblock's migratetype and leave the interpretation to the consumer than to suggest fallback allocation as the only possible reason. While at it, we can print the migratetypes as string the same way as /proc/pagetypeinfo does, as some of the numeric values depend on kernel configuration. For that, this patch moves the migratetype_names array from #ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS part of mm/vmstat.c to mm/page_alloc.c and exports it. With the new format strings for flags, we can now also provide symbolic page and gfp flags in the /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner file. This replaces the positional printing of page flags as single letters, which might have looked nicer, but was limited to a subset of flags, and required the user to remember the letters. Example page_owner entry after the patch: Page allocated via order 0, mask 0x24213ca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_COLD|__GFP_NOWARN|__GFP_NORETRY) PFN 520 type Movable Block 1 type Movable Flags 0xfffff8001006c(referenced|uptodate|lru|active|mappedtodisk) [<ffffffff811682c4>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x134/0x230 [<ffffffff811b4058>] alloc_pages_current+0x88/0x120 [<ffffffff8115e386>] __page_cache_alloc+0xe6/0x120 [<ffffffff8116ba6c>] __do_page_cache_readahead+0xdc/0x240 [<ffffffff8116bd05>] ondemand_readahead+0x135/0x260 [<ffffffff8116bfb1>] page_cache_sync_readahead+0x31/0x50 [<ffffffff81160523>] generic_file_read_iter+0x453/0x760 [<ffffffff811e0d57>] __vfs_read+0xa7/0xd0 Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com> Cc: "Kirill A.

Let's provide a new Kconfig symbol that allows to change the default back to enabled, e.g. for debug kernels. This also makes the change obvious to kernel packagers.

mm/page_alloc.c: calculate zone_start_pfn at zone_spanned_pages_in_node() Xeon E7 v3 based systems supports Address Range Mirroring and UEFI BIOS complied with UEFI spec 2.5 can notify which ranges are mirrored (reliable) via EFI memory map. Now Linux kernel utilize its information and allocates boot time memory from reliable region. My requirement is: - allocate kernel memory from mirrored region - allocate user memory from non-mirrored region In order to meet my requirement, ZONE_MOVABLE is useful. By arranging non-mirrored range into ZONE_MOVABLE, mirrored memory is used for kernel allocations. My idea is to extend existing "kernelcore" option and introduces kernelcore=mirror option. By specifying "mirror" instead of specifying the amount of memory, non-mirrored region will be arranged into ZONE_MOVABLE. Earlier discussions are at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/9/24 https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/15/9 https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/11/27/18 https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/12/8/836 For example, suppose 2-nodes system with the following memory range: node 0 [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x000000109fffffff] node 1 [mem 0x00000010a0000000-0x000000209fffffff] and the following ranges are marked as reliable (mirrored): [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000100000000] [0x0000000100000000-0x0000000180000000] [0x0000000800000000-0x0000000880000000] [0x00000010a0000000-0x0000001120000000] [0x00000017a0000000-0x0000001820000000] If you specify kernelcore=mirror, ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE are arranged like bellow: - node 0: ZONE_NORMAL : [0x0000000100000000-0x00000010a0000000] ZONE_MOVABLE: [0x0000000180000000-0x00000010a0000000] - node 1: ZONE_NORMAL : [0x00000010a0000000-0x00000020a0000000] ZONE_MOVABLE: [0x0000001120000000-0x00000020a0000000] In overlapped range, pages to be ZONE_MOVABLE in ZONE_NORMAL are treated as absent pages, and vice versa.

mm, hugetlb: don't require CMA for runtime gigantic pages Commit 944d9fec8d7a ("hugetlb: add support for gigantic page allocation at runtime") has added the runtime gigantic page allocation via alloc_contig_range(), making this support available only when CONFIG_CMA is enabled. Because it doesn't depend on MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks and the associated infrastructure, it is possible with few simple adjustments to require only CONFIG_MEMORY_ISOLATION instead of full CONFIG_CMA. After this patch, alloc_contig_range() and related functions are available and used for gigantic pages with just CONFIG_MEMORY_ISOLATION enabled. Note CONFIG_CMA selects CONFIG_MEMORY_ISOLATION. This allows supporting runtime gigantic pages without the CMA-specific checks in page allocator fastpaths.

thp: introduce deferred_split_huge_page() Currently we don't split huge page on partial unmap. It's not an ideal situation. It can lead to memory overhead. Furtunately, we can detect partial unmap on page_remove_rmap(). But we cannot call split_huge_page() from there due to locking context. It's also counterproductive to do directly from munmap() codepath: in many cases we will hit this from exit(2) and splitting the huge page just to free it up in small pages is not what we really want. The patch introduce deferred_split_huge_page() which put the huge page into queue for splitting. The splitting itself will happen when we get memory pressure via shrinker interface. The page will be dropped from list on freeing through compound page destructor. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

mm: rework mapcount accounting to enable 4k mapping of THPs We're going to allow mapping of individual 4k pages of THP compound. It means we need to track mapcount on per small page basis. Straight-forward approach is to use ->_mapcount in all subpages to track how many time this subpage is mapped with PMDs or PTEs combined. But this is rather expensive: mapping or unmapping of a THP page with PMD would require HPAGE_PMD_NR atomic operations instead of single we have now. The idea is to store separately how many times the page was mapped as whole -- compound_mapcount. This frees up ->_mapcount in subpages to track PTE mapcount. We use the same approach as with compound page destructor and compound order to store compound_mapcount: use space in first tail page, ->mapping this time. Any time we map/unmap whole compound page (THP or hugetlb) -- we increment/decrement compound_mapcount. When we map part of compound page with PTE we operate on ->_mapcount of the subpage. page_mapcount() counts both: PTE and PMD mappings of the page. Basically, we have mapcount for a subpage spread over two counters. It makes tricky to detect when last mapcount for a page goes away. We introduced PageDoubleMap() for this. When we split THP PMD for the first time and there's other PMD mapping left we offset up ->_mapcount in all subpages by one and set PG_double_map on the compound page. These additional references go away with last compound_mapcount. This approach provides a way to detect when last mapcount goes away on per small page basis without introducing new overhead for most common cases.

mm, oom: give __GFP_NOFAIL allocations access to memory reserves __GFP_NOFAIL is a big hammer used to ensure that the allocation request can never fail. This is a strong requirement and as such it also deserves a special treatment when the system is OOM. The primary problem here is that the allocation request might have come with some locks held and the oom victim might be blocked on the same locks. This is basically an OOM deadlock situation. This patch tries to reduce the risk of such a deadlocks by giving __GFP_NOFAIL allocations a special treatment and let them dive into memory reserves after oom killer invocation. This should help them to make a progress and release resources they are holding. The OOM victim should compensate for the reserves consumption.

mm/page_alloc.c: do not loop over ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS without triggering reclaim __alloc_pages_slowpath is looping over ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS requests if __GFP_NOFAIL is requested. This is fragile because we are basically relying on somebody else to make the reclaim (be it the direct reclaim or OOM killer) for us. The caller might be holding resources (e.g. locks) which block other other reclaimers from making any progress for example. Remove the retry loop and rely on __alloc_pages_slowpath to invoke all allowed reclaim steps and retry logic. We have to be careful about __GFP_NOFAIL allocations from the PF_MEMALLOC context even though this is a very bad idea to begin with because no progress can be gurateed at all. We shouldn't break the __GFP_NOFAIL semantic here though. It could be argued that this is essentially GFP_NOWAIT context which we do not support but PF_MEMALLOC is much harder to check for existing users because they might happen deep down the code path performed much later after setting the flag so we cannot really rule out there is no kernel path triggering this combination.

mm/cma: always check which page caused allocation failure Now, we have tracepoint in test_pages_isolated() to notify pfn which cannot be isolated. But, in alloc_contig_range(), some error path doesn't call test_pages_isolated() so it's still hard to know exact pfn that causes allocation failure. This patch change this situation by calling test_pages_isolated() in almost error path. In allocation failure case, some overhead is added by this change, but, allocation failure is really rare event so it would not matter. In fatal signal pending case, we don't call test_pages_isolated() because this failure is intentional one. There was a bogus outer_start problem due to unchecked buddy order and this patch also fix it. Before this patch, it didn't matter, because end result is same thing.

memcg: only account kmem allocations marked as __GFP_ACCOUNT Black-list kmem accounting policy (aka __GFP_NOACCOUNT) turned out to be fragile and difficult to maintain, because there seem to be many more allocations that should not be accounted than those that should be. Besides, false accounting an allocation might result in much worse consequences than not accounting at all, namely increased memory consumption due to pinned dead kmem caches. So this patch switches kmem accounting to the white-policy: now only those kmem allocations that are marked as __GFP_ACCOUNT are accounted to memcg. Currently, no kmem allocations are marked like this. The following patches will mark several kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from userspace and therefore should be accounted to memcg.

Additionally, commit 0aaa29a56e4f ("mm, page_alloc: reserve pageblocks for high-order atomic allocations on demand") introduced MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC, but did not add a letter to distinguish it into show_migration_types(), so it doesn't appear in the listing of free areas during page alloc failures or oom kills.

mm: make compound_head() robust Hugh has pointed that compound_head() call can be unsafe in some context. There's one example: CPU0 CPU1 isolate_migratepages_block() page_count() compound_head() !!PageTail() == true put_page() tail->first_page = NULL head = tail->first_page alloc_pages(__GFP_COMP) prep_compound_page() tail->first_page = head __SetPageTail(p); !!PageTail() == true <head == NULL dereferencing> The race is pure theoretical. I don't it's possible to trigger it in practice. But who knows. We can fix the race by changing how encode PageTail() and compound_head() within struct page to be able to update them in one shot. The patch introduces page->compound_head into third double word block in front of compound_dtor and compound_order. Bit 0 encodes PageTail() and the rest bits are pointer to head page if bit zero is set. The patch moves page->pmd_huge_pte out of word, just in case if an architecture defines pgtable_t into something what can have the bit 0 set. hugetlb_cgroup uses page->lru.next in the second tail page to store pointer struct hugetlb_cgroup. The patch switch it to use page->private in the second tail page instead. The space is free since ->first_page is removed from the union. The patch also opens possibility to remove HUGETLB_CGROUP_MIN_ORDER limitation, since there's now space in first tail page to store struct hugetlb_cgroup pointer. But that's out of scope of the patch.

mm: pack compound_dtor and compound_order into one word in struct page The patch halves space occupied by compound_dtor and compound_order in struct page. For compound_order, it's trivial long -> short conversion. For get_compound_page_dtor(), we now use hardcoded table for destructor lookup and store its index in the struct page instead of direct pointer to destructor. It shouldn't be a big trouble to maintain the table: we have only two destructor and NULL currently. This patch free up one word in tail pages for reuse. This is preparation for the next patch.

mm, page_alloc: only enforce watermarks for order-0 allocations The primary purpose of watermarks is to ensure that reclaim can always make forward progress in PF_MEMALLOC context (kswapd and direct reclaim). These assume that order-0 allocations are all that is necessary for forward progress. High-order watermarks serve a different purpose. Kswapd had no high-order awareness before they were introduced (https://lkml.kernel.org/r/413AA7B2.4000907@yahoo.com.au). This was particularly important when there were high-order atomic requests. The watermarks both gave kswapd awareness and made a reserve for those atomic requests. There are two important side-effects of this. The most important is that a non-atomic high-order request can fail even though free pages are available and the order-0 watermarks are ok. The second is that high-order watermark checks are expensive as the free list counts up to the requested order must be examined. With the introduction of MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC it is no longer necessary to have high-order watermarks. Kswapd and compaction still need high-order awareness which is handled by checking that at least one suitable high-order page is free. With the patch applied, there was little difference in the allocation failure rates as the atomic reserves are small relative to the number of allocation attempts. The expected impact is that there will never be an allocation failure report that shows suitable pages on the free lists. The one potential side-effect of this is that in a vanilla kernel, the watermark checks may have kept a free page for an atomic allocation. Now, we are 100% relying on the HighAtomic reserves and an early allocation to have allocated them. If the first high-order atomic allocation is after the system is already heavily fragmented then it'll fail.

mm, page_alloc: reserve pageblocks for high-order atomic allocations on demand High-order watermark checking exists for two reasons -- kswapd high-order awareness and protection for high-order atomic requests. Historically the kernel depended on MIGRATE_RESERVE to preserve min_free_kbytes as high-order free pages for as long as possible. This patch introduces MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC that reserves pageblocks for high-order atomic allocations on demand and avoids using those blocks for order-0 allocations. This is more flexible and reliable than MIGRATE_RESERVE was. A MIGRATE_HIGHORDER pageblock is created when an atomic high-order allocation request steals a pageblock but limits the total number to 1% of the zone. Callers that speculatively abuse atomic allocations for long-lived high-order allocations to access the reserve will quickly fail. Note that SLUB is currently not such an abuser as it reclaims at least once. It is possible that the pageblock stolen has few suitable high-order pages and will need to steal again in the near future but there would need to be strong justification to search all pageblocks for an ideal candidate. The pageblocks are unreserved if an allocation fails after a direct reclaim attempt. The watermark checks account for the reserved pageblocks when the allocation request is not a high-order atomic allocation. The reserved pageblocks can not be used for order-0 allocations. This may allow temporary wastage until a failed reclaim reassigns the pageblock. This is deliberate as the intent of the reservation is to satisfy a limited number of atomic high-order short-lived requests if the system requires them. The stutter benchmark was used to evaluate this but while it was running there was a systemtap script that randomly allocated between 1 high-order page and 12.5% of memory's worth of order-3 pages using GFP_ATOMIC. This is much larger than the potential reserve and it does not attempt to be realistic. It is intended to stress random high-order allocations from an unknown source, show that there is a reduction in failures without introducing an anomaly where atomic allocations are more reliable than regular allocations. The amount of memory reserved varied throughout the workload as reserves were created and reclaimed under memory pressure. The allocation failures once the workload warmed up were as follows; 4.2-rc5-vanilla 70% 4.2-rc5-atomic-reserve 56% The failure rate was also measured while building multiple kernels. The failure rate was 14% but is 6% with this patch applied. Overall, this is a small reduction but the reserves are small relative to the number of allocation requests. In early versions of the patch, the failure rate reduced by a much larger amount but that required much larger reserves and perversely made atomic allocations seem more reliable than regular allocations.

mm, page_alloc: remove MIGRATE_RESERVE MIGRATE_RESERVE preserves an old property of the buddy allocator that existed prior to fragmentation avoidance -- min_free_kbytes worth of pages tended to remain contiguous until the only alternative was to fail the allocation. At the time it was discovered that high-order atomic allocations relied on this property so MIGRATE_RESERVE was introduced. A later patch will introduce an alternative MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC so this patch deletes MIGRATE_RESERVE and supporting code so it'll be easier to review. Note that this patch in isolation may look like a false regression if someone was bisecting high-order atomic allocation failures.

mm, page_alloc: delete the zonelist_cache The zonelist cache (zlc) was introduced to skip over zones that were recently known to be full. This avoided expensive operations such as the cpuset checks, watermark calculations and zone_reclaim. The situation today is different and the complexity of zlc is harder to justify. 1) The cpuset checks are no-ops unless a cpuset is active and in general are a lot cheaper. 2) zone_reclaim is now disabled by default and I suspect that was a large source of the cost that zlc wanted to avoid. When it is enabled, it's known to be a major source of stalling when nodes fill up and it's unwise to hit every other user with the overhead. 3) Watermark checks are expensive to calculate for high-order allocation requests. Later patches in this series will reduce the cost of the watermark checking. 4) The most important issue is that in the current implementation it is possible for a failed THP allocation to mark a zone full for order-0 allocations and cause a fallback to remote nodes. The last issue could be addressed with additional complexity but as the benefit of zlc is questionable, it is better to remove it. If stalls due to zone_reclaim are ever reported then an alternative would be to introduce deferring logic based on a timeout inside zone_reclaim itself and leave the page allocator fast paths alone. The impact on page-allocator microbenchmarks is negligible as they don't hit the paths where the zlc comes into play. Most page-reclaim related workloads showed no noticeable difference as a result of the removal. The impact was noticeable in a workload called "stutter". One part uses a lot of anonymous memory, a second measures mmap latency and a third copies a large file. In an ideal world the latency application would not notice the mmap latency. On a 2-node machine the results of this patch are stutter 4.3.0-rc1 4.3.0-rc1 baseline nozlc-v4 Min mmap 20.9243 ( 0.00%) 20.7716 ( 0.73%) 1st-qrtle mmap 22.0612 ( 0.00%) 22.0680 ( -0.03%) 2nd-qrtle mmap 22.3291 ( 0.00%) 22.3809 ( -0.23%) 3rd-qrtle mmap 25.2244 ( 0.00%) 25.2396 ( -0.06%) Max-90% mmap 48.0995 ( 0.00%) 28.3713 ( 41.02%) Max-93% mmap 52.5557 ( 0.00%) 36.0170 ( 31.47%) Max-95% mmap 55.8173 ( 0.00%) 47.3163 ( 15.23%) Max-99% mmap 67.3781 ( 0.00%) 70.1140 ( -4.06%) Max mmap 24447.6375 ( 0.00%) 12915.1356 ( 47.17%) Mean mmap 33.7883 ( 0.00%) 27.7944 ( 17.74%) Best99%Mean mmap 27.7825 ( 0.00%) 25.2767 ( 9.02%) Best95%Mean mmap 26.3912 ( 0.00%) 23.7994 ( 9.82%) Best90%Mean mmap 24.9886 ( 0.00%) 23.2251 ( 7.06%) Best50%Mean mmap 22.0157 ( 0.00%) 22.0261 ( -0.05%) Best10%Mean mmap 21.6705 ( 0.00%) 21.6083 ( 0.29%) Best5%Mean mmap 21.5581 ( 0.00%) 21.4611 ( 0.45%) Best1%Mean mmap 21.3079 ( 0.00%) 21.1631 ( 0.68%) Note that the maximum stall latency went from 24 seconds to 12 which is still bad but an improvement. The milage varies considerably 2-node machine on an earlier test went from 494 seconds to 47 seconds and a 4-node machine that tested an earlier version of this patch went from a worst case stall time of 6 seconds to 67ms. The nature of the benchmark is inherently unpredictable as it is hammering the system and the milage will vary between machines. There is a secondary impact with potentially more direct reclaim because zones are now being considered instead of being skipped by zlc. In this particular test run it did not occur so will not be described. However, in at least one test the following was observed 1. Direct reclaim rates were higher. This was likely due to direct reclaim being entered instead of the zlc disabling a zone and busy looping. Busy looping may have the effect of allowing kswapd to make more progress and in some cases may be better overall. If this is found then the correct action is to put direct reclaimers to sleep on a waitqueue and allow kswapd make forward progress. Busy looping on the zlc is even worse than when the allocator used to blindly call congestion_wait(). 2. There was higher swap activity as direct reclaim was active. 3. Direct reclaim efficiency was lower. This is related to 1 as more scanning activity also encountered more pages that could not be immediately reclaimed In that case, the direct page scan and reclaim rates are noticeable but it is not considered a problem for a few reasons 1. The test is primarily concerned with latency. The mmap attempts are also faulted which means there are THP allocation requests. The ZLC could cause zones to be disabled causing the process to busy loop instead of reclaiming. This looks like elevated direct reclaim activity but it's the correct action to take based on what processes requested. 2. The test hammers reclaim and compaction heavily. The number of successful THP faults is highly variable but affects the reclaim stats. It's not a realistic or reasonable measure of page reclaim activity. 3. No other page-reclaim intensive workload that was tested showed a problem. 4. If a workload is identified that benefitted from the busy looping then it should be fixed by having direct reclaimers sleep on a wait queue until woken by kswapd instead of busy looping. We had this class of problem before when congestion_waits() with a fixed timeout was a brain damaged decision but happened to benefit some workloads. If a workload is identified that relied on the zlc to busy loop then it should be fixed correctly and have a direct reclaimer sleep on a waitqueue until woken by kswapd.

mm, page_alloc: rename __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM __GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing __GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing them prevents it.

mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

mm, page_alloc: remove unnecessary parameter from zone_watermark_ok_safe Overall, the intent of this series is to remove the zonelist cache which was introduced to avoid high overhead in the page allocator. Once this is done, it is necessary to reduce the cost of watermark checks. The series starts with minor micro-optimisations. Next it notes that GFP flags that affect watermark checks are abused. __GFP_WAIT historically identified callers that could not sleep and could access reserves. This was later abused to identify callers that simply prefer to avoid sleeping and have other options. A patch distinguishes between atomic callers, high-priority callers and those that simply wish to avoid sleep. The zonelist cache has been around for a long time but it is of dubious merit with a lot of complexity and some issues that are explained. The most important issue is that a failed THP allocation can cause a zone to be treated as "full". This potentially causes unnecessary stalls, reclaim activity or remote fallbacks. The issues could be fixed but it's not worth it. The series places a small number of other micro-optimisations on top before examining GFP flags watermarks. High-order watermarks enforcement can cause high-order allocations to fail even though pages are free. The watermark checks both protect high-order atomic allocations and make kswapd aware of high-order pages but there is a much better way that can be handled using migrate types. This series uses page grouping by mobility to reserve pageblocks for high-order allocations with the size of the reservation depending on demand. kswapd awareness is maintained by examining the free lists. By patch 12 in this series, there are no high-order watermark checks while preserving the properties that motivated the introduction of the watermark checks. This patch (of 10): No user of zone_watermark_ok_safe() specifies alloc_flags. This patch removes the unnecessary parameter.

memcg: simplify charging kmem pages Charging kmem pages proceeds in two steps. First, we try to charge the allocation size to the memcg the current task belongs to, then we allocate a page and "commit" the charge storing the pointer to the memcg in the page struct. Such a design looks overcomplicated, because there is not much sense in trying charging the allocation before actually allocating a page: we won't be able to consume much memory over the limit even if we charge after doing the actual allocation, besides we already charge user pages post factum, so being pedantic with kmem pages just looks pointless. So this patch simplifies the design by merging the "charge" and the "commit" steps into the same function, which takes the allocated page. Also, rename the charge and uncharge methods to memcg_kmem_charge and memcg_kmem_uncharge and make the charge method return error code instead of bool to conform to mem_cgroup_try_charge.

mm/page_alloc: remove unused parameter in init_currently_empty_zone() Commit a2f3aa025766 ("[PATCH] Fix sparsemem on Cell") fixed an oops experienced on the Cell architecture when init-time functions, early_*(), are called at runtime by introducing an 'enum memmap_context' parameter to memmap_init_zone() and init_currently_empty_zone(). This parameter is intended to be used to tell whether the call of these two functions is being made on behalf of a hotplug event, or happening at boot-time. However, init_currently_empty_zone() does not use this parameter at all, so remove it.

debugfs: Pass bool pointer to debugfs_create_bool() Its a bit odd that debugfs_create_bool() takes 'u32 *' as an argument, when all it needs is a boolean pointer. It would be better to update this API to make it accept 'bool *' instead, as that will make it more consistent and often more convenient. Over that bool takes just a byte. That required updates to all user sites as well, in the same commit updating the API. regmap core was also using debugfs_{read|write}_file_bool(), directly and variable types were updated for that to be bool as well.

mm: rename alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node() alloc_pages_exact_node() was introduced in commit 6484eb3e2a81 ("page allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is valid") as an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node(), that doesn't fallback to current node for nid == NUMA_NO_NODE. Unfortunately the name of the function can easily suggest that the allocation is restricted to the given node and fails otherwise. In truth, the node is only preferred, unless __GFP_THISNODE is passed among the gfp flags. The misleading name has lead to mistakes in the past, see for example commits 5265047ac301 ("mm, thp: really limit transparent hugepage allocation to local node") and b360edb43f8e ("mm, mempolicy: migrate_to_node should only migrate to node"). Another issue with the name is that there's a family of alloc_pages_exact*() functions where 'exact' means exact size (instead of page order), which leads to more confusion. To prevent further mistakes, this patch effectively renames alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node() to better convey that it's an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node() not intended for general usage. Both functions get described in comments. It has been also considered to really provide a convenience function for allocations restricted to a node, but the major opinion seems to be that __GFP_THISNODE already provides that functionality and we shouldn't duplicate the API needlessly. The number of users would be small anyway. Existing callers of alloc_pages_exact_node() are simply converted to call __alloc_pages_node(), with the exception of sba_alloc_coherent() which open-codes the check for NUMA_NO_NODE, so it is converted to use alloc_pages_node() instead. This means it no longer performs some VM_BUG_ON checks, and since the current check for nid in alloc_pages_node() uses a 'nid < 0' comparison (which includes NUMA_NO_NODE), it may hide wrong values which would be previously exposed. Both differences will be rectified by the next patch. To sum up, this patch makes no functional changes, except temporarily hiding potentially buggy callers. Restricting the checks in alloc_pages_node() is left for the next patch which can in turn expose more existing buggy callers.

mm: rename and move get/set_freepage_migratetype The pair of get/set_freepage_migratetype() functions are used to cache pageblock migratetype for a page put on a pcplist, so that it does not have to be retrieved again when the page is put on a free list (e.g. when pcplists become full). Historically it was also assumed that the value is accurate for pages on freelists (as the functions' names unfortunately suggest), but that cannot be guaranteed without affecting various allocator fast paths. It is in fact not needed and all such uses have been removed. The last remaining (but pointless) usage related to pages of freelists is in move_freepages(), which this patch removes. To prevent further confusion, rename the functions to get/set_pcppage_migratetype() and expand their description. Since all the users are now in mm/page_alloc.c, move the functions there from the shared header.

mm, page_isolation: remove bogus tests for isolated pages The __test_page_isolated_in_pageblock() is used to verify whether all pages in pageblock were either successfully isolated, or are hwpoisoned. Two of the possible state of pages, that are tested, are however bogus and misleading. Both tests rely on get_freepage_migratetype(page), which however has no guarantees about pages on freelists. Specifically, it doesn't guarantee that the migratetype returned by the function actually matches the migratetype of the freelist that the page is on. Such guarantee is not its purpose and would have negative impact on allocator performance. The first test checks whether the freepage_migratetype equals MIGRATE_ISOLATE, supposedly to catch races between page isolation and allocator activity. These races should be fixed nowadays with 51bb1a4093 ("mm/page_alloc: add freepage on isolate pageblock to correct buddy list") and related patches. As explained above, the check wouldn't be able to catch them reliably anyway. For the same reason false positives can happen, although they are harmless, as the move_freepages() call would just move the page to the same freelist it's already on. So removing the test is not a bug fix, just cleanup. After this patch, we assume that all PageBuddy pages are on the correct freelist and that the races were really fixed. A truly reliable verification in the form of e.g. VM_BUG_ON() would be complicated and is arguably not needed. The second test (page_count(page) == 0 && get_freepage_migratetype(page) == MIGRATE_ISOLATE) is probably supposed (the code comes from a big memory isolation patch from 2007) to catch pages on MIGRATE_ISOLATE pcplists. However, pcplists don't contain MIGRATE_ISOLATE freepages nowadays, those are freed directly to free lists, so the check is obsolete. Remove it as well.

mm: ZONE_DEVICE for "device memory" While pmem is usable as a block device or via DAX mappings to userspace there are several usage scenarios that can not target pmem due to its lack of struct page coverage. In preparation for "hot plugging" pmem into the vmemmap add ZONE_DEVICE as a new zone to tag these pages separately from the ones that are subject to standard page allocations. Importantly "device memory" can be removed at will by userspace unbinding the driver of the device. Having a separate zone prevents allocation and otherwise marks these pages that are distinct from typical uniform memory. Device memory has different lifetime and performance characteristics than RAM. However, since we have run out of ZONES_SHIFT bits this functionality currently depends on sacrificing ZONE_DMA. Cc: H.

mm: make page pfmemalloc check more robust Commit c48a11c7ad26 ("netvm: propagate page->pfmemalloc to skb") added checks for page->pfmemalloc to __skb_fill_page_desc(): if (page->pfmemalloc && !page->mapping) skb->pfmemalloc = true; It assumes page->mapping == NULL implies that page->pfmemalloc can be trusted. However, __delete_from_page_cache() can set set page->mapping to NULL and leave page->index value alone. Due to being in union, a non-zero page->index will be interpreted as true page->pfmemalloc. So the assumption is invalid if the networking code can see such a page. And it seems it can. We have encountered this with a NFS over loopback setup when such a page is attached to a new skbuf. There is no copying going on in this case so the page confuses __skb_fill_page_desc which interprets the index as pfmemalloc flag and the network stack drops packets that have been allocated using the reserves unless they are to be queued on sockets handling the swapping which is the case here and that leads to hangs when the nfs client waits for a response from the server which has been dropped and thus never arrive. The struct page is already heavily packed so rather than finding another hole to put it in, let's do a trick instead. We can reuse the index again but define it to an impossible value (-1UL). This is the page index so it should never see the value that large. Replace all direct users of page->pfmemalloc by page_is_pfmemalloc which will hide this nastiness from unspoiled eyes. The information will get lost if somebody wants to use page->index obviously but that was the case before and the original code expected that the information should be persisted somewhere else if that is really needed (e.g. what SLAB and SLUB do).

mm: check __PG_HWPOISON separately from PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_* The race condition addressed in commit add05cecef80 ("mm: soft-offline: don't free target page in successful page migration") was not closed completely, because that can happen not only for soft-offline, but also for hard-offline. Consider that a slab page is about to be freed into buddy pool, and then an uncorrected memory error hits the page just after entering __free_one_page(), then VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page->flags & PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP) is triggered, despite the fact that it's not necessary because the data on the affected page is not consumed. To solve it, this patch drops __PG_HWPOISON from page flag checks at allocation/free time. I think it's justified because __PG_HWPOISON flags is defined to prevent the page from being reused, and setting it outside the page's alloc-free cycle is a designed behavior (not a bug.) For recent months, I was annoyed about BUG_ON when soft-offlined page remains on lru cache list for a while, which is avoided by calling put_page() instead of putback_lru_page() in page migration's success path. This means that this patch reverts a major change from commit add05cecef80 about the new refcounting rule of soft-offlined pages, so "reuse window" revives. This will be closed by a subsequent patch.

mm/page_owner: set correct gfp_mask on page_owner Currently, we set wrong gfp_mask to page_owner info in case of isolated freepage by compaction and split page. It causes incorrect mixed pageblock report that we can get from '/proc/pagetypeinfo'. This metric is really useful to measure fragmentation effect so should be accurate. This patch fixes it by setting correct information. Without this patch, after kernel build workload is finished, number of mixed pageblock is 112 among roughly 210 movable pageblocks. But, with this fix, output shows that mixed pageblock is just 57.

mm/page_owner: fix possible access violation When I tested my new patches, I found that page pointer which is used for setting page_owner information is changed. This is because page pointer is used to set new migratetype in loop. After this work, page pointer could be out of bound. If this wrong pointer is used for page_owner, access violation happens. Below is error message that I got.

mm: meminit: finish initialisation of struct pages before basic setup Waiman Long reported that 24TB machines hit OOM during basic setup when struct page initialisation was deferred. One approach is to initialise memory on demand but it interferes with page allocator paths. This patch creates dedicated threads to initialise memory before basic setup. It then blocks on a rw_semaphore until completion as a wait_queue and counter is overkill. This may be slower to boot but it's simplier overall and also gets rid of a section mangling which existed so kswapd could do the initialisation.

mm: meminit: initialise remaining struct pages in parallel with kswapd Only a subset of struct pages are initialised at the moment. When this patch is applied kswapd initialise the remaining struct pages in parallel. This should boot faster by spreading the work to multiple CPUs and initialising data that is local to the CPU. The user-visible effect on large machines is that free memory will appear to rapidly increase early in the lifetime of the system until kswapd reports that all memory is initialised in the kernel log. Once initialised there should be no other user-visibile effects.

Notes: - The __GFP_NOFAIL check is already done in __alloc_pages_may_oom(), replace it with looping on OOM killer progress - The pm_suspended_storage() check is meant to skip the OOM killer when reclaim has no IO available, move to __alloc_pages_may_oom() - The order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY order is re-united with its original counterpart of checking whether reclaim actually made any progress Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Cc: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm: oom_kill: simplify OOM killer locking The zonelist locking and the oom_sem are two overlapping locks that are used to serialize global OOM killing against different things. The historical zonelist locking serializes OOM kills from allocations with overlapping zonelists against each other to prevent killing more tasks than necessary in the same memory domain. Only when neither tasklists nor zonelists from two concurrent OOM kills overlap (tasks in separate memcgs bound to separate nodes) are OOM kills allowed to execute in parallel. The younger oom_sem is a read-write lock to serialize OOM killing against the PM code trying to disable the OOM killer altogether. However, the OOM killer is a fairly cold error path, there is really no reason to optimize for highly performant and concurrent OOM kills. And the oom_sem is just flat-out redundant. Replace both locking schemes with a single global mutex serializing OOM kills regardless of context.

mm/net: Rename and move page fragment handling from net/ to mm/ This change moves the __alloc_page_frag functionality out of the networking stack and into the page allocation portion of mm. The idea it so help make this maintainable by placing it with other page allocation functions. Since we are moving it from skbuff.c to page_alloc.c I have also renamed the basic defines and structure from netdev_alloc_cache to page_frag_cache to reflect that this is now part of a different kernel subsystem. I have also added a simple __free_page_frag function which can handle freeing the frags based on the skb->head pointer. The model for this is based off of __free_pages since we don't actually need to deal with all of the cases that put_page handles. I incorporated the virt_to_head_page call and compound_order into the function as it actually allows for a signficant size reduction by reducing code duplication.

mm: remove GFP_THISNODE NOTE: this is not about __GFP_THISNODE, this is only about GFP_THISNODE. GFP_THISNODE is a secret combination of gfp bits that have different behavior than expected. It is a combination of __GFP_THISNODE, __GFP_NORETRY, and __GFP_NOWARN and is special-cased in the page allocator slowpath to fail without trying reclaim even though it may be used in combination with __GFP_WAIT. An example of the problem this creates: commit e97ca8e5b864 ("mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify") fixed up many users of GFP_THISNODE that really just wanted __GFP_THISNODE. The problem doesn't end there, however, because even it was a no-op for alloc_misplaced_dst_page(), which also sets __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWARN, and migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(), where __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWAIT is set in GFP_TRANSHUGE. Converting GFP_THISNODE to __GFP_THISNODE is a no-op in these cases since the page allocator special-cases __GFP_THISNODE && __GFP_NORETRY && __GFP_NOWARN. It's time to just remove GFP_THISNODE entirely. We leave __GFP_THISNODE to restrict an allocation to a local node, but remove GFP_THISNODE and its obscurity. Instead, we require that a caller clear __GFP_WAIT if it wants to avoid reclaim. This allows the aforementioned functions to actually reclaim as they should. It also enables any future callers that want to do __GFP_THISNODE but also __GFP_NORETRY && __GFP_NOWARN to reclaim. The rule is simple: if you don't want to reclaim, then don't set __GFP_WAIT. Aside: ovs_flow_stats_update() really wants to avoid reclaim as well, so it is unchanged.

mm/compaction: enhance compaction finish condition Compaction has anti fragmentation algorithm. It is that freepage should be more than pageblock order to finish the compaction if we don't find any freepage in requested migratetype buddy list. This is for mitigating fragmentation, but, there is a lack of migratetype consideration and it is too excessive compared to page allocator's anti fragmentation algorithm. Not considering migratetype would cause premature finish of compaction. For example, if allocation request is for unmovable migratetype, freepage with CMA migratetype doesn't help that allocation and compaction should not be stopped. But, current logic regards this situation as compaction is no longer needed, so finish the compaction. Secondly, condition is too excessive compared to page allocator's logic. We can steal freepage from other migratetype and change pageblock migratetype on more relaxed conditions in page allocator. This is designed to prevent fragmentation and we can use it here. Imposing hard constraint only to the compaction doesn't help much in this case since page allocator would cause fragmentation again. To solve these problems, this patch borrows anti fragmentation logic from page allocator. It will reduce premature compaction finish in some cases and reduce excessive compaction work. stress-highalloc test in mmtests with non movable order 7 allocation shows considerable increase of compaction success rate. Compaction success rate (Compaction success * 100 / Compaction stalls, %) 31.82 : 42.20 I tested it on non-reboot 5 runs stress-highalloc benchmark and found that there is no more degradation on allocation success rate than before. That roughly means that this patch doesn't result in more fragmentations. Vlastimil suggests additional idea that we only test for fallbacks when migration scanner has scanned a whole pageblock. It looked good for fragmentation because chance of stealing increase due to making more free pages in certain pageblock. So, I tested it, but, it results in decreased compaction success rate, roughly 38.00. I guess the reason that if system is low memory condition, watermark check could be failed due to not enough order 0 free page and so, sometimes, we can't reach a fallback check although migrate_pfn is aligned to pageblock_nr_pages. I can insert code to cope with this situation but it makes code more complicated so I don't include his idea at this patch.

mm/cma: change fallback behaviour for CMA freepage Freepage with MIGRATE_CMA can be used only for MIGRATE_MOVABLE and they should not be expanded to other migratetype buddy list to protect them from unmovable/reclaimable allocation. Implementing these requirements in __rmqueue_fallback(), that is, finding largest possible block of freepage has bad effect that high order freepage with MIGRATE_CMA are broken continually although there are suitable order CMA freepage. Reason is that they are not be expanded to other migratetype buddy list and next __rmqueue_fallback() invocation try to finds another largest block of freepage and break it again. So, MIGRATE_CMA fallback should be handled separately. This patch introduces __rmqueue_cma_fallback(), that just wrapper of __rmqueue_smallest() and call it before __rmqueue_fallback() if migratetype == MIGRATE_MOVABLE. This results in unintended behaviour change that MIGRATE_CMA freepage is always used first rather than other migratetype as movable allocation's fallback. But, as already mentioned above, MIGRATE_CMA can be used only for MIGRATE_MOVABLE, so it is better to use MIGRATE_CMA freepage first as much as possible. Otherwise, we needlessly take up precious freepages with other migratetype and increase chance of fragmentation.

mm, oom: do not fail __GFP_NOFAIL allocation if oom killer is disabled Tetsuo Handa has pointed out that __GFP_NOFAIL allocations might fail after OOM killer is disabled if the allocation is performed by a kernel thread. This behavior was introduced from the very beginning by 7f33d49a2ed5 ("mm, PM/Freezer: Disable OOM killer when tasks are frozen"). This means that the basic contract for the allocation request is broken and the context requesting such an allocation might blow up unexpectedly. There are basically two ways forward. 1) move oom_killer_disable after kernel threads are frozen. This has a risk that the OOM victim wouldn't be able to finish because it would depend on an already frozen kernel thread. This would be really tricky to debug. 2) do not fail GFP_NOFAIL allocation no matter what and risk a potential Freezable kernel threads will loop and fail the suspend. Incidental allocations after kernel threads are frozen will at least dump a warning - if we are lucky and the serial console is still active of course... This patch implements the later option because it is safer. We would see warning rather than allocation failures for the kernel threads which would blow up otherwise and have a higher chances to identify __GFP_NOFAIL users from deeper pm code.

Commit 9879de7373fc ("mm: page_alloc: embed OOM killing naturally into allocation slowpath"), which should have been a simple cleanup patch, accidentally changed the behavior to aborting the allocation at that point. This creates problems with filesystem callers (?) that currently rely on the allocator waiting for other tasks to intervene.

mm: more aggressive page stealing for UNMOVABLE allocations When allocation falls back to stealing free pages of another migratetype, it can decide to steal extra pages, or even the whole pageblock in order to reduce fragmentation, which could happen if further allocation fallbacks pick a different pageblock. In try_to_steal_freepages(), one of the situations where extra pages are stolen happens when we are trying to allocate a MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE page. However, MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE allocations are not treated the same way, although spreading such allocation over multiple fallback pageblocks is arguably even worse than it is for RECLAIMABLE allocations. To minimize fragmentation, we should minimize the number of such fallbacks, and thus steal as much as is possible from each fallback pageblock. Note that in theory this might put more pressure on movable pageblocks and cause movable allocations to steal back from unmovable pageblocks. However, movable allocations are not as aggressive with stealing, and do not cause permanent fragmentation, so the tradeoff is reasonable, and evaluation seems to support the change. This patch thus adds a check for MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE to the decision to steal extra free pages. When evaluating with stress-highalloc from mmtests, this has reduced the number of MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE fallbacks to roughly 1/6. The number of these fallbacks stealing from MIGRATE_MOVABLE block is reduced to 1/3. There was no observation of growing number of unmovable pageblocks over time, and also not of increased movable allocation fallbacks.

mm: always steal split buddies in fallback allocations When allocation falls back to another migratetype, it will steal a page with highest available order, and (depending on this order and desired migratetype), it might also steal the rest of free pages from the same pageblock. Given the preference of highest available order, it is likely that it will be higher than the desired order, and result in the stolen buddy page being split. The remaining pages after split are currently stolen only when the rest of the free pages are stolen. This can however lead to situations where for MOVABLE allocations we split e.g. order-4 fallback UNMOVABLE page, but steal only order-0 page. Then on the next MOVABLE allocation (which may be batched to fill the pcplists) we split another order-3 or higher page, etc. By stealing all pages that we have split, we can avoid further stealing. This patch therefore adjusts the page stealing so that buddy pages created by split are always stolen. This has effect only on MOVABLE allocations, as RECLAIMABLE and UNMOVABLE allocations already always do that in addition to stealing the rest of free pages from the pageblock. The change also allows to simplify try_to_steal_freepages() and factor out CMA handling. According to Mel, it has been intended since the beginning that buddy pages after split would be stolen always, but it doesn't seem like it was ever the case until commit 47118af076f6 ("mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added"). The commit has unintentionally introduced this behavior, but was reverted by commit 0cbef29a7821 ("mm: __rmqueue_fallback() should respect pageblock type"). Neither included evaluation. My evaluation with stress-highalloc from mmtests shows about 2.5x reduction of page stealing events for MOVABLE allocations, without affecting the page stealing events for other allocation migratetypes.

mm: when stealing freepages, also take pages created by splitting buddy page When studying page stealing, I noticed some weird looking decisions in try_to_steal_freepages(). The first I assume is a bug (Patch 1), the following two patches were driven by evaluation. Testing was done with stress-highalloc of mmtests, using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint and postprocessing to get counts of how often page stealing occurs for individual migratetypes, and what migratetypes are used for fallbacks. Arguably, the worst case of page stealing is when UNMOVABLE allocation steals from MOVABLE pageblock. RECLAIMABLE allocation stealing from MOVABLE allocation is also not ideal, so the goal is to minimize these two cases. The evaluation of v2 wasn't always clear win and Joonsoo questioned the results. Here I used different baseline which includes RFC compaction improvements from [1]. I found that the compaction improvements reduce variability of stress-highalloc, so there's less noise in the data. First, let's look at stress-highalloc configured to do sync compaction, and how these patches reduce page stealing events during the test. First column is after fresh reboot, other two are reiterations of test without reboot. That was all accumulater over 5 re-iterations (so the benchmark was run 5x3 times with 5 fresh restarts).

Here, each patch improves the situation for unmovable events. Reclaimable is improved by patch 1 and then either the same modulo noise, or perhaps sligtly worse - a small price for unmovable improvements, IMHO. The number of movable allocations falling back to other migratetypes is most noisy, but it's reduced to half at Patch 2 nevertheless. These are least critical as compaction can move them around. If we look at success rates, the patches don't affect them, that didn't change.

Configuring the benchmark to allocate like THP page fault (i.e. no sync compaction) gives much noisier results for iterations 2 and 3 after reboot. This is not so surprising given how [1] offers lower improvements in this scenario due to less restarts after deferred compaction which would change compaction pivot.

[1] http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=142166196321125&w=2 This patch (of 3): When __rmqueue_fallback() is called to allocate a page of order X, it will find a page of order Y >= X of a fallback migratetype, which is different from the desired migratetype. With the help of try_to_steal_freepages(), it may change the migratetype (to the desired one) also of: 1) all currently free pages in the pageblock containing the fallback page 2) the fallback pageblock itself 3) buddy pages created by splitting the fallback page (when Y > X) These decisions take the order Y into account, as well as the desired migratetype, with the goal of preventing multiple fallback allocations that could e.g. distribute UNMOVABLE allocations among multiple pageblocks. Originally, decision for 1) has implied the decision for 3). Commit 47118af076f6 ("mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added") changed that (probably unintentionally) so that the buddy pages in case 3) are always changed to the desired migratetype, except for CMA pageblocks. Commit fef903efcf0c ("mm/page_allo.c: restructure free-page stealing code and fix a bug") did some refactoring and added a comment that the case of 3) is intended. Commit 0cbef29a7821 ("mm: __rmqueue_fallback() should respect pageblock type") removed the comment and tried to restore the original behavior where 1) implies 3), but due to the previous refactoring, the result is instead that only 2) implies 3) - and the conditions for 2) are less frequently met than conditions for 1). This may increase fragmentation in situations where the code decides to steal all free pages from the pageblock (case 1)), but then gives back the buddy pages produced by splitting. This patch restores the original intended logic where 1) implies 3). During testing with stress-highalloc from mmtests, this has shown to decrease the number of events where UNMOVABLE and RECLAIMABLE allocations steal from MOVABLE pageblocks, which can lead to permanent fragmentation. In some cases it has increased the number of events when MOVABLE allocations steal from UNMOVABLE or RECLAIMABLE pageblocks, but these are fixable by sync compaction and thus less harmful. Note that evaluation has shown that the behavior introduced by 47118af076f6 for buddy pages in case 3) is actually even better than the original logic, so the following patch will introduce it properly once again. For stable backports of this patch it makes thus sense to only fix versions containing 0cbef29a7821.

oom, PM: make OOM detection in the freezer path raceless Commit 5695be142e20 ("OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspend") has left a race window when OOM killer manages to note_oom_kill after freeze_processes checks the counter. The race window is quite small and really unlikely and partial solution deemed sufficient at the time of submission. Tejun wasn't happy about this partial solution though and insisted on a full solution. That requires the full OOM and freezer's task freezing exclusion, though. This is done by this patch which introduces oom_sem RW lock and turns oom_killer_disable() into a full OOM barrier. oom_killer_disabled check is moved from the allocation path to the OOM level and we take oom_sem for reading for both the check and the whole OOM invocation. oom_killer_disable() takes oom_sem for writing so it waits for all currently running OOM killer invocations. Then it disable all the further OOMs by setting oom_killer_disabled and checks for any oom victims. Victims are counted via mark_tsk_oom_victim resp. unmark_oom_victim. The last victim wakes up all waiters enqueued by oom_killer_disable(). Therefore this function acts as the full OOM barrier. The page fault path is covered now as well although it was assumed to be safe before. As per Tejun, "We used to have freezing points deep in file system code which may be reacheable from page fault." so it would be better and more robust to not rely on freezing points here. Same applies to the memcg OOM killer. out_of_memory tells the caller whether the OOM was allowed to trigger and the callers are supposed to handle the situation. The page allocation path simply fails the allocation same as before. The page fault path will retry the fault (more on that later) and Sysrq OOM trigger will simply complain to the log. Normally there wouldn't be any unfrozen user tasks after try_to_freeze_tasks so the function will not block. But if there was an OOM killer racing with try_to_freeze_tasks and the OOM victim didn't finish yet then we have to wait for it. This should complete in a finite time, though, because - the victim cannot loop in the page fault handler (it would die on the way out from the exception) - it cannot loop in the page allocator because all the further allocation would fail and __GFP_NOFAIL allocations are not acceptable at this stage - it shouldn't be blocked on any locks held by frozen tasks (try_to_freeze expects lockless context) and kernel threads and work queues are not frozen yet Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Suggested-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> Cc: "Rafael J.

mm: set page->pfmemalloc in prep_new_page() The possibility of replacing the numerous parameters of alloc_pages* functions with a single structure has been discussed when Minchan proposed to expand the x86 kernel stack [1]. This series implements the change, along with few more cleanups/microoptimizations. The series is based on next-20150108 and I used gcc 4.8.3 20140627 on openSUSE 13.2 for compiling. Config includess NUMA and COMPACTION. The core change is the introduction of a new struct alloc_context, which looks like this: struct alloc_context { struct zonelist *zonelist; nodemask_t *nodemask; struct zone *preferred_zone; int classzone_idx; int migratetype; enum zone_type high_zoneidx; }; All the contents is mostly constant, except that __alloc_pages_slowpath() changes preferred_zone, classzone_idx and potentially zonelist. But that's not a problem in case control returns to retry_cpuset: in __alloc_pages_nodemask(), those will be reset to initial values again (although it's a bit subtle). On the other hand, gfp_flags and alloc_info mutate so much that it doesn't make sense to put them into alloc_context. Still, the result is one parameter instead of up to 7. This is all in Patch 2. Patch 3 is a step to expand alloc_context usage out of page_alloc.c itself. The function try_to_compact_pages() can also much benefit from the parameter reduction, but it means the struct definition has to be moved to a shared header. Patch 1 should IMHO be included even if the rest is deemed not useful enough. It improves maintainability and also has some code/stack reduction. Patch 4 is OTOH a tiny optimization. Overall bloat-o-meter results: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/4 up/down: 0/-460 (-460) function old new delta nr_free_zone_pages 129 115 -14 __alloc_pages_direct_compact 329 256 -73 get_page_from_freelist 2670 2576 -94 __alloc_pages_nodemask 2564 2285 -279 try_to_compact_pages 582 579 -3 Overall stack sizes per ./scripts/checkstack.pl: old new delta get_page_from_freelist: 184 184 0 __alloc_pages_nodemask 248 200 -48 __alloc_pages_direct_c 40 - -40 try_to_compact_pages 72 72 0 -88 [1] http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=140142462528257&w=2 This patch (of 4): prep_new_page() sets almost everything in the struct page of the page being allocated, except page->pfmemalloc. This is not obvious and has at least once led to a bug where page->pfmemalloc was forgotten to be set correctly, see commit 8fb74b9fb2b1 ("mm: compaction: partially revert capture of suitable high-order page"). This patch moves the pfmemalloc setting to prep_new_page(), which means it needs to gain alloc_flags parameter. The call to prep_new_page is moved from buffered_rmqueue() to get_page_from_freelist(), which also leads to simpler code. An obsolete comment for buffered_rmqueue() is replaced.

mm/page_alloc.c: place zone_id check before VM_BUG_ON_PAGE check If the freeing page and its buddy page are not at the same zone, the current holding zone->lock for the freeing page cann't prevent buddy page getting allocated, this could trigger VM_BUG_ON_PAGE in page_is_buddy() at a very tiny chance, such as: cpu 0: cpu 1: hold zone_1 lock check page and it buddy PageBuddy(buddy) is true hold zone_2 lock page_order(buddy) == order is true alloc buddy trigger VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_count(buddy) != 0) zone_1->lock prevents the freeing page getting allocated zone_2->lock prevents the buddy page getting allocated they are not the same zone->lock.

mm: page_alloc: embed OOM killing naturally into allocation slowpath The OOM killing invocation does a lot of duplicative checks against the task's allocation context. Rework it to take advantage of the existing checks in the allocator slowpath. The OOM killer is invoked when the allocator is unable to reclaim any pages but the allocation has to keep looping. Instead of having a check for __GFP_NORETRY hidden in oom_gfp_allowed(), just move the OOM invocation to the true branch of should_alloc_retry(). The __GFP_FS check from oom_gfp_allowed() can then be moved into the OOM avoidance branch in __alloc_pages_may_oom(), along with the PF_DUMPCORE test. __alloc_pages_may_oom() can then signal to the caller whether the OOM killer was invoked, instead of requiring it to duplicate the order and high_zoneidx checks to guess this when deciding whether to continue.

mm: vmscan: invoke slab shrinkers from shrink_zone() The slab shrinkers are currently invoked from the zonelist walkers in kswapd, direct reclaim, and zone reclaim, all of which roughly gauge the eligible LRU pages and assemble a nodemask to pass to NUMA-aware shrinkers, which then again have to walk over the nodemask. This is redundant code, extra runtime work, and fairly inaccurate when it comes to the estimation of actually scannable LRU pages. The code duplication will only get worse when making the shrinkers cgroup-aware and requiring them to have out-of-band cgroup hierarchy walks as well. Instead, invoke the shrinkers from shrink_zone(), which is where all reclaimers end up, to avoid this duplication. Take the count for eligible LRU pages out of get_scan_count(), which considers many more factors than just the availability of swap space, like zone_reclaimable_pages() currently does. Accumulate the number over all visited lruvecs to get the per-zone value. Some nodes have multiple zones due to memory addressing restrictions. To avoid putting too much pressure on the shrinkers, only invoke them once for each such node, using the class zone of the allocation as the pivot zone. For now, this integrates the slab shrinking better into the reclaim logic and gets rid of duplicative invocations from kswapd, direct reclaim, and zone reclaim. It also prepares for cgroup-awareness, allowing memcg-capable shrinkers to be added at the lruvec level without much duplication of both code and runtime work. This changes kswapd behavior, which used to invoke the shrinkers for each zone, but with scan ratios gathered from the entire node, resulting in meaningless pressure quantities on multi-zone nodes. Zone reclaim behavior also changes. It used to shrink slabs until the same amount of pages were shrunk as were reclaimed from the LRUs. Now it merely invokes the shrinkers once with the zone's scan ratio, which makes the shrinkers go easier on caches that implement aging and would prefer feeding back pressure from recently used slab objects to unused LRU pages.

mm/page_owner: keep track of page owners This is the page owner tracking code which is introduced so far ago. It is resident on Andrew's tree, though, nobody tried to upstream so it remain as is. Our company uses this feature actively to debug memory leak or to find a memory hogger so I decide to upstream this feature. This functionality help us to know who allocates the page. When allocating a page, we store some information about allocation in extra memory. Later, if we need to know status of all pages, we can get and analyze it from this stored information. In previous version of this feature, extra memory is statically defined in struct page, but, in this version, extra memory is allocated outside of struct page. It enables us to turn on/off this feature at boottime without considerable memory waste. Although we already have tracepoint for tracing page allocation/free, using it to analyze page owner is rather complex. We need to enlarge the trace buffer for preventing overlapping until userspace program launched. And, launched program continually dump out the trace buffer for later analysis and it would change system behaviour with more possibility rather than just keeping it in memory, so bad for debug. Moreover, we can use page_owner feature further for various purposes. For example, we can use it for fragmentation statistics implemented in this patch. And, I also plan to implement some CMA failure debugging feature using this interface. I'd like to give the credit for all developers contributed this feature, but, it's not easy because I don't know exact history. Sorry about that.

mm/debug-pagealloc: make debug-pagealloc boottime configurable Now, we have prepared to avoid using debug-pagealloc in boottime. So introduce new kernel-parameter to disable debug-pagealloc in boottime, and makes related functions to be disabled in this case. Only non-intuitive part is change of guard page functions. Because guard page is effective only if debug-pagealloc is enabled, turning off according to debug-pagealloc is reasonable thing to do.

mm/debug-pagealloc: prepare boottime configurable on/off Until now, debug-pagealloc needs extra flags in struct page, so we need to recompile whole source code when we decide to use it. This is really painful, because it takes some time to recompile and sometimes rebuild is not possible due to third party module depending on struct page. So, we can't use this good feature in many cases. Now, we have the page extension feature that allows us to insert extra flags to outside of struct page. This gets rid of third party module issue mentioned above. And, this allows us to determine if we need extra memory for this page extension in boottime. With these property, we can avoid using debug-pagealloc in boottime with low computational overhead in the kernel built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. This will help our development process greatly. This patch is the preparation step to achive above goal. debug-pagealloc originally uses extra field of struct page, but, after this patch, it will use field of struct page_ext. Because memory for page_ext is allocated later than initialization of page allocator in CONFIG_SPARSEMEM, we should disable debug-pagealloc feature temporarily until initialization of page_ext. This patch implements this.

mm/page_ext: resurrect struct page extending code for debugging When we debug something, we'd like to insert some information to every page. For this purpose, we sometimes modify struct page itself. But, this has drawbacks. First, it requires re-compile. This makes us hesitate to use the powerful debug feature so development process is slowed down. And, second, sometimes it is impossible to rebuild the kernel due to third party module dependency. At third, system behaviour would be largely different after re-compile, because it changes size of struct page greatly and this structure is accessed by every part of kernel. Keeping this as it is would be better to reproduce errornous situation. This feature is intended to overcome above mentioned problems. This feature allocates memory for extended data per page in certain place rather than the struct page itself. This memory can be accessed by the accessor functions provided by this code. During the boot process, it checks whether allocation of huge chunk of memory is needed or not. If not, it avoids allocating memory at all. With this advantage, we can include this feature into the kernel in default and can avoid rebuild and solve related problems. Until now, memcg uses this technique. But, now, memcg decides to embed their variable to struct page itself and it's code to extend struct page has been removed. I'd like to use this code to develop debug feature, so this patch resurrect it. To help these things to work well, this patch introduces two callbacks for clients. One is the need callback which is mandatory if user wants to avoid useless memory allocation at boot-time. The other is optional, init callback, which is used to do proper initialization after memory is allocated. Detailed explanation about purpose of these functions is in code comment. Please refer it. Others are completely same with previous extension code in memcg.

mm: embed the memcg pointer directly into struct page Memory cgroups used to have 5 per-page pointers. To allow users to disable that amount of overhead during runtime, those pointers were allocated in a separate array, with a translation layer between them and struct page. There is now only one page pointer remaining: the memcg pointer, that indicates which cgroup the page is associated with when charged. The complexity of runtime allocation and the runtime translation overhead is no longer justified to save that *potential* 0.19% of memory. With CONFIG_SLUB, page->mem_cgroup actually sits in the doubleword padding after the page->private member and doesn't even increase struct page, and then this patch actually saves space.

mm, compaction: more focused lru and pcplists draining The goal of memory compaction is to create high-order freepages through page migration. Page migration however puts pages on the per-cpu lru_add cache, which is later flushed to per-cpu pcplists, and only after pcplists are drained the pages can actually merge. This can happen due to the per-cpu caches becoming full through further freeing, or explicitly. During direct compaction, it is useful to do the draining explicitly so that pages merge as soon as possible and compaction can detect success immediately and keep the latency impact at minimum. However the current implementation is far from ideal. Draining is done only in __alloc_pages_direct_compact(), after all zones were already compacted, and the decisions to continue or stop compaction in individual zones was done without the last batch of migrations being merged. It is also missing the draining of lru_add cache before the pcplists. This patch moves the draining for direct compaction into compact_zone(). It adds the missing lru_cache draining and uses the newly introduced single zone pcplists draining to reduce overhead and avoid impact on unrelated zones. Draining is only performed when it can actually lead to merging of a page of desired order (passed by cc->order). This means it is only done when migration occurred in the previously scanned cc->order aligned block(s) and the migration scanner is now pointing to the next cc->order aligned block. The patch has been tested with stress-highalloc benchmark from mmtests. Although overal allocation success rates of the benchmark were not affected, the number of detected compaction successes has doubled. This suggests that allocations were previously successful due to implicit merging caused by background activity, making a later allocation attempt succeed immediately, but not attributing the success to compaction. Since stress-highalloc always tries to allocate almost the whole memory, it cannot show the improvement in its reported success rate metric. However after this patch, compaction should detect success and terminate earlier, reducing the direct compaction latencies in a real scenario.

mm, compaction: simplify deferred compaction Since commit 53853e2d2bfb ("mm, compaction: defer each zone individually instead of preferred zone"), compaction is deferred for each zone where sync direct compaction fails, and reset where it succeeds. However, it was observed that for DMA zone compaction often appeared to succeed while subsequent allocation attempt would not, due to different outcome of watermark check. In order to properly defer compaction in this zone, the candidate zone has to be passed back to __alloc_pages_direct_compact() and compaction deferred in the zone after the allocation attempt fails. The large source of mismatch between watermark check in compaction and allocation was the lack of alloc_flags and classzone_idx values in compaction, which has been fixed in the previous patch. So with this problem fixed, we can simplify the code by removing the candidate_zone parameter and deferring in __alloc_pages_direct_compact(). After this patch, the compaction activity during stress-highalloc benchmark is still somewhat increased, but it's negligible compared to the increase that occurred without the better watermark checking. This suggests that it is still possible to apparently succeed in compaction but fail to allocate, possibly due to parallel allocation activity.

mm, compaction: pass classzone_idx and alloc_flags to watermark checking Compaction relies on zone watermark checks for decisions such as if it's worth to start compacting in compaction_suitable() or whether compaction should stop in compact_finished(). The watermark checks take classzone_idx and alloc_flags parameters, which are related to the memory allocation request. But from the context of compaction they are currently passed as 0, including the direct compaction which is invoked to satisfy the allocation request, and could therefore know the proper values. The lack of proper values can lead to mismatch between decisions taken during compaction and decisions related to the allocation request. Lack of proper classzone_idx value means that lowmem_reserve is not taken into account. This has manifested (during recent changes to deferred compaction) when DMA zone was used as fallback for preferred Normal zone. compaction_suitable() without proper classzone_idx would think that the watermarks are already satisfied, but watermark check in get_page_from_freelist() would fail. Because of this problem, deferring compaction has extra complexity that can be removed in the following patch. The issue (not confirmed in practice) with missing alloc_flags is opposite in nature. For allocations that include ALLOC_HIGH, ALLOC_HIGHER or ALLOC_CMA in alloc_flags (the last includes all MOVABLE allocations on CMA-enabled systems) the watermark checking in compaction with 0 passed will be stricter than in get_page_from_freelist(). In these cases compaction might be running for a longer time than is really needed. Another issue compaction_suitable() is that the check for "does the zone need compaction at all?" comes only after the check "does the zone have enough free free pages to succeed compaction". The latter considers extra pages for migration and can therefore in some situations fail and return COMPACT_SKIPPED, although the high-order allocation would succeed and we should return COMPACT_PARTIAL. This patch fixes these problems by adding alloc_flags and classzone_idx to struct compact_control and related functions involved in direct compaction and watermark checking. Where possible, all other callers of compaction_suitable() pass proper values where those are known. This is currently limited to classzone_idx, which is sometimes known in kswapd context. However, the direct reclaim callers should_continue_reclaim() and compaction_ready() do not currently know the proper values, so the coordination between reclaim and compaction may still not be as accurate as it could. This can be fixed later, if it's shown to be an issue. Additionaly the checks in compact_suitable() are reordered to address the second issue described above. The effect of this patch should be slightly better high-order allocation success rates and/or less compaction overhead, depending on the type of allocations and presence of CMA. It allows simplifying deferred compaction code in a followup patch. When testing with stress-highalloc, there was some slight improvement (which might be just due to variance) in success rates of non-THP-like allocations.

mm: introduce single zone pcplists drain The functions for draining per-cpu pages back to buddy allocators currently always operate on all zones. There are however several cases where the drain is only needed in the context of a single zone, and spilling other pcplists is a waste of time both due to the extra spilling and later refilling. This patch introduces new zone pointer parameter to drain_all_pages() and changes the dummy parameter of drain_local_pages() to be also a zone pointer. When NULL is passed, the functions operate on all zones as usual. Passing a specific zone pointer reduces the work to the single zone. All callers are updated to pass the NULL pointer in this patch. Conversion to single zone (where appropriate) is done in further patches.

mm/debug-pagealloc: correct freepage accounting and order resetting One thing I did in this patch is fixing freepage accounting. If we clear guard page and link it onto isolate buddy list, we should not increase freepage count. This patch adds conditional branch to skip counting in this case. Without this patch, this overcounting happens frequently if guard order is set and CMA is used. Another thing fixed in this patch is the target to reset order. In __free_one_page(), we check the buddy page whether it is a guard page or not. And, if so, we should clear guard attribute on the buddy page and reset order of it to 0. But, current code resets original page's order rather than buddy one's. Maybe, this doesn't have any problem, because whole merged page's order will be re-assigned soon. But, it is better to correct code.

In reality, if called via CMA, allocation will be retried so a single test_pages_isolated failure does not prevent allocation from succeeding. Demote the warning message to an info message and reformat it such that the text "failed" does not appear and instead a less worrying "PFNS busy" is used.

mm/page_alloc: restrict max order of merging on isolated pageblock Current pageblock isolation logic could isolate each pageblock individually. This causes freepage accounting problem if freepage with pageblock order on isolate pageblock is merged with other freepage on normal pageblock. We can prevent merging by restricting max order of merging to pageblock order if freepage is on isolate pageblock. A side-effect of this change is that there could be non-merged buddy freepage even if finishing pageblock isolation, because undoing pageblock isolation is just to move freepage from isolate buddy list to normal buddy list rather than to consider merging. So, the patch also makes undoing pageblock isolation consider freepage merge. When un-isolation, freepage with more than pageblock order and it's buddy are checked. If they are on normal pageblock, instead of just moving, we isolate the freepage and free it in order to get merged.

mm/page_alloc: add freepage on isolate pageblock to correct buddy list In free_pcppages_bulk(), we use cached migratetype of freepage to determine type of buddy list where freepage will be added. This information is stored when freepage is added to pcp list, so if isolation of pageblock of this freepage begins after storing, this cached information could be stale. In other words, it has original migratetype rather than MIGRATE_ISOLATE. There are two problems caused by this stale information. One is that we can't keep these freepages from being allocated. Although this pageblock is isolated, freepage will be added to normal buddy list so that it could be allocated without any restriction. And the other problem is incorrect freepage accounting. Freepages on isolate pageblock should not be counted for number of freepage. Following is the code snippet in free_pcppages_bulk(). /* MIGRATE_MOVABLE list may include MIGRATE_RESERVEs */ __free_one_page(page, page_to_pfn(page), zone, 0, mt); trace_mm_page_pcpu_drain(page, 0, mt); if (likely(!is_migrate_isolate_page(page))) { __mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_FREE_PAGES, 1); if (is_migrate_cma(mt)) __mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES, 1); } As you can see above snippet, current code already handle second problem, incorrect freepage accounting, by re-fetching pageblock migratetype through is_migrate_isolate_page(page). But, because this re-fetched information isn't used for __free_one_page(), first problem would not be solved. This patch try to solve this situation to re-fetch pageblock migratetype before __free_one_page() and to use it for __free_one_page(). In addition to move up position of this re-fetch, this patch use optimization technique, re-fetching migratetype only if there is isolate pageblock. Pageblock isolation is rare event, so we can avoid re-fetching in common case with this optimization. This patch also correct migratetype of the tracepoint output.

mm/page_alloc: fix incorrect isolation behavior by rechecking migratetype Before describing bugs itself, I first explain definition of freepage. 1. pages on buddy list are counted as freepage. 2. pages on isolate migratetype buddy list are *not* counted as freepage. 3. pages on cma buddy list are counted as CMA freepage, too. Now, I describe problems and related patch. Patch 1: There is race conditions on getting pageblock migratetype that it results in misplacement of freepages on buddy list, incorrect freepage count and un-availability of freepage. Patch 2: Freepages on pcp list could have stale cached information to determine migratetype of buddy list to go. This causes misplacement of freepages on buddy list and incorrect freepage count. Patch 4: Merging between freepages on different migratetype of pageblocks will cause freepages accouting problem. This patch fixes it. Without patchset [3], above problem doesn't happens on my CMA allocation test, because CMA reserved pages aren't used at all. So there is no chance for above race. With patchset [3], I did simple CMA allocation test and get below result: - Virtual machine, 4 cpus, 1024 MB memory, 256 MB CMA reservation - run kernel build (make -j16) on background - 30 times CMA allocation(8MB * 30 = 240MB) attempts in 5 sec interval - Result: more than 5000 freepage count are missed With patchset [3] and this patchset, I found that no freepage count are missed so that I conclude that problems are solved. On my simple memory offlining test, these problems also occur on that environment, too. This patch (of 4): There are two paths to reach core free function of buddy allocator, __free_one_page(), one is free_one_page()->__free_one_page() and the other is free_hot_cold_page()->free_pcppages_bulk()->__free_one_page(). Each paths has race condition causing serious problems. At first, this patch is focused on first type of freepath. And then, following patch will solve the problem in second type of freepath. In the first type of freepath, we got migratetype of freeing page without holding the zone lock, so it could be racy. There are two cases of this race. 1. pages are added to isolate buddy list after restoring orignal migratetype CPU1 CPU2 get migratetype => return MIGRATE_ISOLATE call free_one_page() with MIGRATE_ISOLATE grab the zone lock unisolate pageblock release the zone lock grab the zone lock call __free_one_page() with MIGRATE_ISOLATE freepage go into isolate buddy list, although pageblock is already unisolated This may cause two problems. One is that we can't use this page anymore until next isolation attempt of this pageblock, because freepage is on isolate buddy list. The other is that freepage accouting could be wrong due to merging between different buddy list. Freepages on isolate buddy list aren't counted as freepage, but ones on normal buddy list are counted as freepage. If merge happens, buddy freepage on normal buddy list is inevitably moved to isolate buddy list without any consideration of freepage accouting so it could be incorrect. 2. pages are added to normal buddy list while pageblock is isolated. It is similar with above case. This also may cause two problems. One is that we can't keep these freepages from being allocated. Although this pageblock is isolated, freepage would be added to normal buddy list so that it could be allocated without any restriction. And the other problem is same as case 1, that it, incorrect freepage accouting. This race condition would be prevented by checking migratetype again with holding the zone lock. Because it is somewhat heavy operation and it isn't needed in common case, we want to avoid rechecking as much as possible. So this patch introduce new variable, nr_isolate_pageblock in struct zone to check if there is isolated pageblock. With this, we can avoid to re-check migratetype in common case and do it only if there is isolated pageblock or migratetype is MIGRATE_ISOLATE. This solve above mentioned problems. Changes from v3: Add one more check in free_one_page() that checks whether migratetype is MIGRATE_ISOLATE or not. Without this, abovementioned case 1 could happens.

cpuset: simplify cpuset_node_allowed API Current cpuset API for checking if a zone/node is allowed to allocate from looks rather awkward. We have hardwall and softwall versions of cpuset_node_allowed with the softwall version doing literally the same as the hardwall version if __GFP_HARDWALL is passed to it in gfp flags. If it isn't, the softwall version may check the given node against the enclosing hardwall cpuset, which it needs to take the callback lock to do. Such a distinction was introduced by commit 02a0e53d8227 ("cpuset: rework cpuset_zone_allowed api"). Before, we had the only version with the __GFP_HARDWALL flag determining its behavior. The purpose of the commit was to avoid sleep-in-atomic bugs when someone would mistakenly call the function without the __GFP_HARDWALL flag for an atomic allocation. The suffixes introduced were intended to make the callers think before using the function. However, since the callback lock was converted from mutex to spinlock by the previous patch, the softwall check function cannot sleep, and these precautions are no longer necessary. So let's simplify the API back to the single check.

OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspend PM freezer relies on having all tasks frozen by the time devices are getting frozen so that no task will touch them while they are getting frozen. But OOM killer is allowed to kill an already frozen task in order to handle OOM situtation. In order to protect from late wake ups OOM killer is disabled after all tasks are frozen. This, however, still keeps a window open when a killed task didn't manage to die by the time freeze_processes finishes. Reduce the race window by checking all tasks after OOM killer has been disabled. This is still not race free completely unfortunately because oom_killer_disable cannot stop an already ongoing OOM killer so a task might still wake up from the fridge and get killed without freeze_processes noticing. Full synchronization of OOM and freezer is, however, too heavy weight for this highly unlikely case. Introduce and check oom_kills counter which gets incremented early when the allocator enters __alloc_pages_may_oom path and only check all the tasks if the counter changes during the freezing attempt. The counter is updated so early to reduce the race window since allocator checked oom_killer_disabled which is set by PM-freezing code. A false positive will push the PM-freezer into a slow path but that is not a big deal. Changes since v1 - push the re-check loop out of freeze_processes into check_frozen_processes and invert the condition to make the code more readable as per Rafael Fixes: f660daac474c6f (oom: thaw threads if oom killed thread is frozen before deferring) Cc: 3.2+ <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.2+ Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

mm: page_alloc: default node-ordering on 64-bit NUMA, zone-ordering on 32-bit Zones are allocated by the page allocator in either node or zone order. Node ordering is preferred in terms of locality and is applied automatically in one of three cases: 1. If a node has only low memory 2. If DMA/DMA32 is a high percentage of memory 3. If low memory on a single node is greater than 70% of the node size Otherwise zone ordering is used to preserve low memory for devices that require it. Unfortunately a consequence of this is that applications running on a machine with balanced NUMA nodes will experience different performance characteristics depending on which node they happen to start from. The point of zone ordering is to protect lower zones for devices that require DMA/DMA32 memory. When NUMA was first introduced, this was critical as 32-bit NUMA machines existed and exhausting low memory triggered OOMs easily as so many allocations required low memory. On 64-bit machines the primary concern is devices that are 32-bit only which is less severe than the low memory exhaustion problem on 32-bit NUMA. It seems there are really few devices that depends on it. AGP -- I assume this is getting more rare but even then I think the allocations happen early in boot time where lowmem pressure is less of a problem DRM -- If the device is 32-bit only then there may be low pressure. I didn't evaluate these in detail but it looks like some of these are mobile graphics card. Not many NUMA laptops out there. DRM folk should know better though. Some TV cards -- Much demand for 32-bit capable TV cards on NUMA machines? B43 wireless card -- again not really a NUMA thing. I cannot find a good reason to incur a performance penalty on all 64-bit NUMA machines in case someone throws a brain damanged TV or graphics card in there. This patch defaults to node-ordering on 64-bit NUMA machines. I was tempted to make it default everywhere but I understand that some embedded arches may be using 32-bit NUMA where I cannot predict the consequences.

In this particular case there was no difference in numa_hit and numa_miss. The expectation is that DMA32 was being used at the low watermark instead of falling into the slow path. kswapd was not woken but it's not worken for THP allocations. On 32-bit, this patch defaults to zone-ordering as low memory depletion can be a serious problem on 32-bit large memory machines. If the default ordering was node then processes on node 0 will deplete the Normal zone due to normal activity. The problem is worse if CONFIG_HIGHPTE is not set. If combined with large amounts of dirty/writeback pages in Normal zone then there is also a high risk of OOM. The heuristics are removed as it's not clear they were ever important on 32-bit. They were only relevant for setting node-ordering on 64-bit.

This is a very slow path and the only time I've seen this bug trigger recently is when memory initialisation was broken during patch development. Despite the fact it's a slow path, this patch converts the check to a VM_BUG_ON anyway as it has served its purpose by now.

mm, compaction: khugepaged should not give up due to need_resched() Async compaction aborts when it detects zone lock contention or need_resched() is true. David Rientjes has reported that in practice, most direct async compactions for THP allocation abort due to need_resched(). This means that a second direct compaction is never attempted, which might be OK for a page fault, but khugepaged is intended to attempt a sync compaction in such case and in these cases it won't. This patch replaces "bool contended" in compact_control with an int that distinguishes between aborting due to need_resched() and aborting due to lock contention. This allows propagating the abort through all compaction functions as before, but passing the abort reason up to __alloc_pages_slowpath() which decides when to continue with direct reclaim and another compaction attempt. Another problem is that try_to_compact_pages() did not act upon the reported contention (both need_resched() or lock contention) immediately and would proceed with another zone from the zonelist. When need_resched() is true, that means initializing another zone compaction, only to check again need_resched() in isolate_migratepages() and aborting. For zone lock contention, the unintended consequence is that the lock contended status reported back to the allocator is detrmined from the last zone where compaction was attempted, which is rather arbitrary. This patch fixes the problem in the following way: - async compaction of a zone aborting due to need_resched() or fatal signal pending means that further zones should not be tried. We report COMPACT_CONTENDED_SCHED to the allocator. - aborting zone compaction due to lock contention means we can still try another zone, since it has different set of locks. We report back COMPACT_CONTENDED_LOCK only if *all* zones where compaction was attempted, it was aborted due to lock contention. As a result of these fixes, khugepaged will proceed with second sync compaction as intended, when the preceding async compaction aborted due to need_resched(). Page fault compactions aborting due to need_resched() will spare some cycles previously wasted by initializing another zone compaction only to abort again. Lock contention will be reported only when compaction in all zones aborted due to lock contention, and therefore it's not a good idea to try again after reclaim. In stress-highalloc from mmtests configured to use __GFP_NO_KSWAPD, this has improved number of THP collapse allocations by 10%, which shows positive effect on khugepaged. The benchmark's success rates are unchanged as it is not recognized as khugepaged. Numbers of compact_stall and compact_fail events have however decreased by 20%, with compact_success still a bit improved, which is good. With benchmark configured not to use __GFP_NO_KSWAPD, there is 6% improvement in THP collapse allocations, and only slight improvement in stalls and failures.

mm, compaction: move pageblock checks up from isolate_migratepages_range() isolate_migratepages_range() is the main function of the compaction scanner, called either on a single pageblock by isolate_migratepages() during regular compaction, or on an arbitrary range by CMA's __alloc_contig_migrate_range(). It currently perfoms two pageblock-wide compaction suitability checks, and because of the CMA callpath, it tracks if it crossed a pageblock boundary in order to repeat those checks. However, closer inspection shows that those checks are always true for CMA: - isolation_suitable() is true because CMA sets cc->ignore_skip_hint to true - migrate_async_suitable() check is skipped because CMA uses sync compaction We can therefore move the compaction-specific checks to isolate_migratepages() and simplify isolate_migratepages_range(). Furthermore, we can mimic the freepage scanner family of functions, which has isolate_freepages_block() function called both by compaction from isolate_freepages() and by CMA from isolate_freepages_range(), where each use-case adds own specific glue code. This allows further code simplification. Thus, we rename isolate_migratepages_range() to isolate_migratepages_block() and limit its functionality to a single pageblock (or its subset). For CMA, a new different isolate_migratepages_range() is created as a CMA-specific wrapper for the _block() function. The checks specific to compaction are moved to isolate_migratepages(). As part of the unification of these two families of functions, we remove the redundant zone parameter where applicable, since zone pointer is already passed in cc->zone. Furthermore, going back to compact_zone() and compact_finished() when pageblock is found unsuitable (now by isolate_migratepages()) is wasteful - the checks are meant to skip pageblocks quickly. The patch therefore also introduces a simple loop into isolate_migratepages() so that it does not return immediately on failed pageblock checks, but keeps going until isolate_migratepages_range() gets called once. Similarily to isolate_freepages(), the function periodically checks if it needs to reschedule or abort async compaction.

mm, compaction: do not count compact_stall if all zones skipped compaction The compact_stall vmstat counter counts the number of allocations stalled by direct compaction. It does not count when all attempted zones had deferred compaction, but it does count when all zones skipped compaction. The skipping is decided based on very early check of compaction_suitable(), based on watermarks and memory fragmentation. Therefore it makes sense not to count skipped compactions as stalls. Moreover, compact_success or compact_fail is also already not being counted when compaction was skipped, so this patch changes the compact_stall counting to match the other two. Additionally, restructure __alloc_pages_direct_compact() code for better readability.

mm, compaction: defer each zone individually instead of preferred zone When direct sync compaction is often unsuccessful, it may become deferred for some time to avoid further useless attempts, both sync and async. Successful high-order allocations un-defer compaction, while further unsuccessful compaction attempts prolong the compaction deferred period. Currently the checking and setting deferred status is performed only on the preferred zone of the allocation that invoked direct compaction. But compaction itself is attempted on all eligible zones in the zonelist, so the behavior is suboptimal and may lead both to scenarios where 1) compaction is attempted uselessly, or 2) where it's not attempted despite good chances of succeeding, as shown on the examples below: 1) A direct compaction with Normal preferred zone failed and set deferred compaction for the Normal zone. Another unrelated direct compaction with DMA32 as preferred zone will attempt to compact DMA32 zone even though the first compaction attempt also included DMA32 zone. In another scenario, compaction with Normal preferred zone failed to compact Normal zone, but succeeded in the DMA32 zone, so it will not defer compaction. In the next attempt, it will try Normal zone which will fail again, instead of skipping Normal zone and trying DMA32 directly. 2) Kswapd will balance DMA32 zone and reset defer status based on watermarks looking good. A direct compaction with preferred Normal zone will skip compaction of all zones including DMA32 because Normal was still deferred. The allocation might have succeeded in DMA32, but won't. This patch makes compaction deferring work on individual zone basis instead of preferred zone. For each zone, it checks compaction_deferred() to decide if the zone should be skipped. If watermarks fail after compacting the zone, defer_compaction() is called. The zone where watermarks passed can still be deferred when the allocation attempt is unsuccessful. When allocation is successful, compaction_defer_reset() is called for the zone containing the allocated page. This approach should approximate calling defer_compaction() only on zones where compaction was attempted and did not yield allocated page. There might be corner cases but that is inevitable as long as the decision to stop compacting dues not guarantee that a page will be allocated. Due to a new COMPACT_DEFERRED return value, some functions relying implicitly on COMPACT_SKIPPED = 0 had to be updated, with comments made more accurate. The did_some_progress output parameter of __alloc_pages_direct_compact() is removed completely, as the caller actually does not use it after compaction sets it - it is only considered when direct reclaim sets it. During testing on a two-node machine with a single very small Normal zone on node 1, this patch has improved success rates in stress-highalloc mmtests benchmark. The success here were previously made worse by commit 3a025760fc15 ("mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before waking kswapd") as kswapd was no longer resetting often enough the deferred compaction for the Normal zone, and DMA32 zones on both nodes were thus not considered for compaction. On different machine, success rates were improved with __GFP_NO_KSWAPD allocations.

topology: add support for node_to_mem_node() to determine the fallback node Anton noticed (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg67489.html) that on ppc LPARs with memoryless nodes, a large amount of memory was consumed by slabs and was marked unreclaimable. He tracked it down to slab deactivations in the SLUB core when we allocate remotely, leading to poor efficiency always when memoryless nodes are present. After much discussion, Joonsoo provided a few patches that help significantly. They don't resolve the problem altogether: - memory hotplug still needs testing, that is when a memoryless node becomes memory-ful, we want to dtrt - there are other reasons for going off-node than memoryless nodes, e.g., fully exhausted local nodes Neither case is resolved with this series, but I don't think that should block their acceptance, as they can be explored/resolved with follow-on patches. The series consists of: [1/3] topology: add support for node_to_mem_node() to determine the fallback node [2/3] slub: fallback to node_to_mem_node() node if allocating on memoryless node - Joonsoo's patches to cache the nearest node with memory for each NUMA node [3/3] Partial revert of 81c98869faa5 (""kthread: ensure locality of task_struct allocations") - At Tejun's request, keep the knowledge of memoryless node fallback to the allocator core. This patch (of 3): We need to determine the fallback node in slub allocator if the allocation target node is memoryless node. Without it, the SLUB wrongly select the node which has no memory and can't use a partial slab, because of node mismatch. Introduced function, node_to_mem_node(X), will return a node Y with memory that has the nearest distance. If X is memoryless node, it will return nearest distance node, but, if X is normal node, it will return itself. We will use this function in following patch to determine the fallback node.

mm: page_alloc: fix zone allocation fairness on UP The zone allocation batches can easily underflow due to higher-order allocations or spills to remote nodes. On SMP that's fine, because underflows are expected from concurrency and dealt with by returning 0. But on UP, zone_page_state will just return a wrapped unsigned long, which will get past the <= 0 check and then consider the zone eligible until its watermarks are hit. Commit 3a025760fc15 ("mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before waking kswapd") already made the counter-resetting use atomic_long_read() to accomodate underflows from remote spills, but it didn't go all the way with it. Make it clear that these batches are expected to go negative regardless of concurrency, and use atomic_long_read() everywhere.

x86/mm/numa: Drop dead code and rename setup_node_data() to setup_alloc_data() The setup_node_data() function allocates a pg_data_t object, inserts it into the node_data[] array and initializes the following fields: node_id, node_start_pfn and node_spanned_pages. However, a few function calls later during the kernel boot, free_area_init_node() re-initializes those fields, possibly with setup_node_data() is not used. This causes a small glitch when running Linux as a hyperv numa guest: SRAT: PXM 0 -> APIC 0x00 -> Node 0 SRAT: PXM 0 -> APIC 0x01 -> Node 0 SRAT: PXM 1 -> APIC 0x02 -> Node 1 SRAT: PXM 1 -> APIC 0x03 -> Node 1 SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x00000000-0x7fffffff] SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 [mem 0x80200000-0xf7ffffff] SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 [mem 0x100000000-0x1081fffff] NUMA: Node 1 [mem 0x80200000-0xf7ffffff] + [mem 0x100000000-0x1081fffff] -> [mem 0x80200000-0x1081fffff] Initmem setup node 0 [mem 0x00000000-0x7fffffff] NODE_DATA [mem 0x7ffdc000-0x7ffeffff] Initmem setup node 1 [mem 0x80800000-0x1081fffff] NODE_DATA [mem 0x1081ea000-0x1081fdfff] crashkernel: memory value expected [ffffea0000000000-ffffea0001ffffff] PMD -> [ffff88007de00000-ffff88007fdfffff] on node 0 [ffffea0002000000-ffffea00043fffff] PMD -> [ffff880105600000-ffff8801077fffff] on node 1 Zone ranges: DMA [mem 0x00001000-0x00ffffff] DMA32 [mem 0x01000000-0xffffffff] Normal [mem 0x100000000-0x1081fffff] Movable zone start for each node Early memory node ranges node 0: [mem 0x00001000-0x0009efff] node 0: [mem 0x00100000-0x7ffeffff] node 1: [mem 0x80200000-0xf7ffffff] node 1: [mem 0x100000000-0x1081fffff] On node 0 totalpages: 524174 DMA zone: 64 pages used for memmap DMA zone: 21 pages reserved DMA zone: 3998 pages, LIFO batch:0 DMA32 zone: 8128 pages used for memmap DMA32 zone: 520176 pages, LIFO batch:31 On node 1 totalpages: 524288 DMA32 zone: 7672 pages used for memmap DMA32 zone: 491008 pages, LIFO batch:31 Normal zone: 520 pages used for memmap Normal zone: 33280 pages, LIFO batch:7 In this dmesg, the SRAT table reports that the memory range for node 1 starts at 0x80200000. However, the line starting with "Initmem" reports that node 1 memory range starts at 0x80800000. The "Initmem" line is reported by setup_node_data() and is wrong, because the kernel ends up using the range as reported in the SRAT table. This commit drops all that dead code from setup_node_data(), renames it to alloc_node_data() and adds a printk() to free_area_init_node() so that we report a node's memory range accurately.

PS: The wrong memory range reported by setup_node_data() seems to be harmless in the current kernel because it's just not used. However, that bad range is used in kernel 2.6.32 to initialize the old boot memory allocator, which causes a crash during boot.

mm, thp: restructure thp avoidance of light synchronous migration __GFP_NO_KSWAPD, once the way to determine if an allocation was for thp or not, has gained more users. Their use is not necessarily wrong, they are trying to do a memory allocation that can easily fail without disturbing kswapd, so the bit has gained additional usecases. This restructures the check to determine whether MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT should be used for memory compaction in the page allocator. Rather than testing solely for __GFP_NO_KSWAPD, test for all bits that must be set for thp allocations. This also moves the check to be done only after the page allocator is aborted for deferred or contended memory compaction since setting migration_mode for this case is pointless.

mm, oom: rename zonelist locking functions try_set_zonelist_oom() and clear_zonelist_oom() are not named properly to imply that they require locking semantics to avoid out_of_memory() being reordered. zone_scan_lock is required for both functions to ensure that there is proper locking synchronization. Rename try_set_zonelist_oom() to oom_zonelist_trylock() and rename clear_zonelist_oom() to oom_zonelist_unlock() to imply there is proper locking semantics. At the same time, convert oom_zonelist_trylock() to return bool instead of int since only success and failure are tested. Signed-off-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: "Kirill A.

mm: page_alloc: reduce cost of the fair zone allocation policy The fair zone allocation policy round-robins allocations between zones within a node to avoid age inversion problems during reclaim. If the first allocation fails, the batch counts are reset and a second attempt made before entering the slow path. One assumption made with this scheme is that batches expire at roughly the same time and the resets each time are justified. This assumption does not hold when zones reach their low watermark as the batches will be consumed at uneven rates. Allocation failure due to watermark depletion result in additional zonelist scans for the reset and another watermark check before hitting the slowpath. On UMA, the benefit is negligible -- around 0.25%. On 4-socket NUMA machine it's variable due to the variability of measuring overhead with the vmstat changes. The system CPU overhead comparison looks like 3.16.0-rc3 3.16.0-rc3 3.16.0-rc3 vanilla vmstat-v5 lowercost-v5 User 746.94 774.56 802.00 System 65336.22 32847.27 40852.33 Elapsed 27553.52 27415.04 27368.46 However it is worth noting that the overall benchmark still completed faster and intuitively it makes sense to take as few passes as possible through the zonelists.

mm: page_alloc: abort fair zone allocation policy when remotes nodes are encountered The purpose of numa_zonelist_order=zone is to preserve lower zones for use with 32-bit devices. If locality is preferred then the numa_zonelist_order=node policy should be used. Unfortunately, the fair zone allocation policy overrides this by skipping zones on remote nodes until the lower one is found. While this makes sense from a page aging and performance perspective, it breaks the expected zonelist policy. This patch restores the expected behaviour for zone-list ordering.

mm: move zone->pages_scanned into a vmstat counter zone->pages_scanned is a write-intensive cache line during page reclaim and it's also updated during page free. Move the counter into vmstat to take advantage of the per-cpu updates and do not update it in the free paths unless necessary. On a small UMA machine running tiobench the difference is marginal. On a 4-node machine the overhead is more noticable. Note that automatic NUMA balancing was disabled for this test as otherwise the system CPU overhead is unpredictable. 3.16.0-rc3 3.16.0-rc3 3.16.0-rc3 vanillarearrange-v5 vmstat-v5 User 746.94 759.78 774.56 System 65336.22 58350.98 32847.27 Elapsed 27553.52 27282.02 27415.04 Note that the overhead reduction will vary depending on where exactly pages are allocated and freed.

mm: rearrange zone fields into read-only, page alloc, statistics and page reclaim lines The arrangement of struct zone has changed over time and now it has reached the point where there is some inappropriate sharing going on. On x86-64 for example o The zone->node field is shared with the zone lock and zone->node is accessed frequently from the page allocator due to the fair zone allocation policy. o span_seqlock is almost never used by shares a line with free_area o Some zone statistics share a cache line with the LRU lock so reclaim-intensive and allocator-intensive workloads can bounce the cache line on a stat update This patch rearranges struct zone to put read-only and read-mostly fields together and then splits the page allocator intensive fields, the zone statistics and the page reclaim intensive fields into their own cache lines. Note that the type of lowmem_reserve changes due to the watermark calculations being signed and avoiding a signed/unsigned conversion there. On the test configuration I used the overall size of struct zone shrunk by one cache line. On smaller machines, this is not likely to be noticable. However, on a 4-node NUMA machine running tiobench the system CPU overhead is reduced by this patch. 3.16.0-rc3 3.16.0-rc3 vanillarearrange-v5r9 User 746.94 759.78 System 65336.22 58350.98 Elapsed 27553.52 27282.02 Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm: export NR_SHMEM via sysinfo(2) / si_meminfo() interfaces Historically, we exported shared pages to userspace via sysinfo(2) sharedram and /proc/meminfo's "MemShared" fields. With the advent of tmpfs, from kernel v2.4 onward, that old way for accounting shared mem was deemed inaccurate and we started to export a hard-coded 0 for sysinfo.sharedram. Later on, during the 2.6 timeframe, "MemShared" got re-introduced to /proc/meminfo re-branded as "Shmem", but we're still reporting sysinfo.sharedmem as that old hard-coded zero, which makes the "shared memory" report inconsistent across interfaces. This patch leverages the addition of explicit accounting for pages used by shmem/tmpfs -- "4b02108 mm: oom analysis: add shmem vmstat" -- in order to make the users of sysinfo(2) and si_meminfo*() friends aware of that vmstat entry and make them report it consistently across the interfaces, as well to make sysinfo(2) returned data consistent with our current API documentation states.

mm, thp: do not allow thp faults to avoid cpuset restrictions The page allocator relies on __GFP_WAIT to determine if ALLOC_CPUSET should be set in allocflags. ALLOC_CPUSET controls if a page allocation should be restricted only to the set of allowed cpuset mems. Transparent hugepages clears __GFP_WAIT when defrag is disabled to prevent the fault path from using memory compaction or direct reclaim. Thus, it is unfairly able to allocate outside of its cpuset mems restriction as a side-effect. This patch ensures that ALLOC_CPUSET is only cleared when the gfp mask is truly GFP_ATOMIC by verifying it is also not a thp allocation.

This in turn causes accesses past zone->free_list[]. Fix the problem by changing init_cma_reserved_pageblock() such that it splits pageblock into individual MAX_ORDER pages if pageblock is bigger than a MAX_ORDER page. In cases where !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE, which is all architectures expect for ia64, powerpc and tile at the moment, the âpageblock_order > MAX_ORDERâ condition will be optimised out since both sides of the operator are constants. In cases where pageblock size is variable, the performance degradation should not be significant anyway since init_cma_reserved_pageblock() is called only at boot time at most MAX_CMA_AREAS times which by default is eight.

mm: page_alloc: use word-based accesses for get/set pageblock bitmaps The test_bit operations in get/set pageblock flags are expensive. This patch reads the bitmap on a word basis and use shifts and masks to isolate the bits of interest. Similarly masks are used to set a local copy of the bitmap and then use cmpxchg to update the bitmap if there have been no other changes made in parallel. In a test running dd onto tmpfs the overhead of the pageblock-related functions went from 1.27% in profiles to 0.5%. In addition to the performance benefits, this patch closes races that are possible between: a) get_ and set_pageblock_migratetype(), where get_pageblock_migratetype() reads part of the bits before and other part of the bits after set_pageblock_migratetype() has updated them. b) set_pageblock_migratetype() and set_pageblock_skip(), where the non-atomic read-modify-update set bit operation in set_pageblock_skip() will cause lost updates to some bits changed in the set_pageblock_migratetype(). Joonsoo Kim first reported the case a) via code inspection. Vlastimil Babka's testing with a debug patch showed that either a) or b) occurs roughly once per mmtests' stress-highalloc benchmark (although not necessarily in the same pageblock). Furthermore during development of unrelated compaction patches, it was observed that frequent calls to {start,undo}_isolate_page_range() the race occurs several thousands of times and has resulted in NULL pointer dereferences in move_freepages() and free_one_page() in places where free_list[migratetype] is manipulated by e.g. list_move(). Further debugging confirmed that migratetype had invalid value of 6, causing out of bounds access to the free_list array. That confirmed that the race exist, although it may be extremely rare, and currently only fatal where page isolation is performed due to memory hot remove. Races on pageblocks being updated by set_pageblock_migratetype(), where both old and new migratetype are lower MIGRATE_RESERVE, currently cannot result in an invalid value being observed, although theoretically they may still lead to unexpected creation or destruction of MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks. Furthermore, things could get suddenly worse when memory isolation is used more, or when new migratetypes are added. After this patch, the race has no longer been observed in testing.

mm: page_alloc: take the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK check out of the fast path ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK is set in a few cases. Always by kswapd, always for __GFP_MEMALLOC, sometimes for swap-over-nfs, tasks etc. Each of these cases are relatively rare events but the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK check is an unlikely branch in the fast path. This patch moves the check out of the fast path and after it has been determined that the watermarks have not been met. This helps the common fast path at the cost of making the slow path slower and hitting kswapd with a performance cost. It's a reasonable tradeoff.

mm, thp: avoid excessive compaction latency during fault Synchronous memory compaction can be very expensive: it can iterate an enormous amount of memory without aborting, constantly rescheduling, waiting on page locks and lru_lock, etc, if a pageblock cannot be defragmented. Unfortunately, it's too expensive for transparent hugepage page faults and it's much better to simply fallback to pages. On 128GB machines, we find that synchronous memory compaction can take O(seconds) for a single thp fault. Now that async compaction remembers where it left off without strictly relying on sync compaction, this makes thp allocations best-effort without causing egregious latency during fault. We still need to retry async compaction after reclaim, but this won't stall for seconds.

mm, compaction: embed migration mode in compact_control We're going to want to manipulate the migration mode for compaction in the page allocator, and currently compact_control's sync field is only a bool. Currently, we only do MIGRATE_ASYNC or MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT compaction depending on the value of this bool. Convert the bool to enum migrate_mode and pass the migration mode in directly. Later, we'll want to avoid MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT for thp allocations in the pagefault patch to avoid unnecessary latency. This also alters compaction triggered from sysfs, either for the entire system or for a node, to force MIGRATE_SYNC.

mm, migration: add destination page freeing callback Memory migration uses a callback defined by the caller to determine how to allocate destination pages. When migration fails for a source page, however, it frees the destination page back to the system. This patch adds a memory migration callback defined by the caller to determine how to free destination pages. If a caller, such as memory compaction, builds its own freelist for migration targets, this can reuse already freed memory instead of scanning additional memory. If the caller provides a function to handle freeing of destination pages, it is called when page migration fails. If the caller passes NULL then freeing back to the system will be handled as usual. This patch introduces no functional change.

mm/page_alloc: prevent MIGRATE_RESERVE pages from being misplaced For the MIGRATE_RESERVE pages, it is useful when they do not get misplaced on free_list of other migratetype, otherwise they might get allocated prematurely and e.g. fragment the MIGRATE_RESEVE pageblocks. While this cannot be avoided completely when allocating new MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks in min_free_kbytes sysctl handler, we should prevent the misplacement where possible. Currently, it is possible for the misplacement to happen when a MIGRATE_RESERVE page is allocated on pcplist through rmqueue_bulk() as a fallback for other desired migratetype, and then later freed back through free_pcppages_bulk() without being actually used. This happens because free_pcppages_bulk() uses get_freepage_migratetype() to choose the free_list, and rmqueue_bulk() calls set_freepage_migratetype() with the *desired* migratetype and not the page's original MIGRATE_RESERVE migratetype. This patch fixes the problem by moving the call to set_freepage_migratetype() from rmqueue_bulk() down to __rmqueue_smallest() and __rmqueue_fallback() where the actual page's migratetype (e.g. from which free_list the page is taken from) is used. Note that this migratetype might be different from the pageblock's migratetype due to freepage stealing decisions. This is OK, as page stealing never uses MIGRATE_RESERVE as a fallback, and also takes care to leave all MIGRATE_CMA pages on the correct freelist. Therefore, as an additional benefit, the call to get_pageblock_migratetype() from rmqueue_bulk() when CMA is enabled, can be removed completely. This relies on the fact that MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks are created only during system init, and the above. The related is_migrate_isolate() check is also unnecessary, as memory isolation has other ways to move pages between freelists, and drain pcp lists containing pages that should be isolated. The buffered_rmqueue() can also benefit from calling get_freepage_migratetype() instead of get_pageblock_migratetype().

mm: disable zone_reclaim_mode by default When it was introduced, zone_reclaim_mode made sense as NUMA distances punished and workloads were generally partitioned to fit into a NUMA node. NUMA machines are now common but few of the workloads are NUMA-aware and it's routine to see major performance degradation due to zone_reclaim_mode being enabled but relatively few can identify the problem. Those that require zone_reclaim_mode are likely to be able to detect when it needs to be enabled and tune appropriately so lets have a sensible default for the bulk of users. This patch (of 2): zone_reclaim_mode causes processes to prefer reclaiming memory from local node instead of spilling over to other nodes. This made sense initially when NUMA machines were almost exclusively HPC and the workload was partitioned into nodes. The NUMA penalties were sufficiently high to justify reclaiming the memory. On current machines and workloads it is often the case that zone_reclaim_mode destroys performance but not all users know how to detect this. Favour the common case and disable it by default. Users that are sophisticated enough to know they need zone_reclaim_mode will detect it.

mm: get rid of __GFP_KMEMCG Currently to allocate a page that should be charged to kmemcg (e.g. threadinfo), we pass __GFP_KMEMCG flag to the page allocator. The page allocated is then to be freed by free_memcg_kmem_pages. Apart from looking asymmetrical, this also requires intrusion to the general allocation path. So let's introduce separate functions that will alloc/free pages charged to kmemcg. The new functions are called alloc_kmem_pages and free_kmem_pages. They should be used when the caller actually would like to use kmalloc, but has to fall back to the page allocator for the allocation is large. They only differ from alloc_pages and free_pages in that besides allocating or freeing pages they also charge them to the kmem resource counter of the current memory cgroup.

mm/page_alloc.c: change mm debug routines back to EXPORT_SYMBOL A new dump_page() routine was recently added, and marked EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. dump_page() was also added to the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() macro, and so the end result is that non-GPL code can no longer call get_page() and a few other routines. This only happens if the kernel was compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM. Change dump_page() to be EXPORT_SYMBOL. Longer explanation: Prior to commit 309381feaee5 ("mm: dump page when hitting a VM_BUG_ON using VM_BUG_ON_PAGE") , it was possible to build MIT-licensed (non-GPL) drivers on Fedora. Fedora is semi-unique, in that it sets CONFIG_VM_DEBUG. Because Fedora sets CONFIG_VM_DEBUG, they end up pulling in dump_page(), via VM_BUG_ON_PAGE, via get_page(). As one of the authors of NVIDIA's new, open source, "UVM-Lite" kernel module, I originally choose to use the kernel's get_page() routine from within nvidia_uvm_page_cache.c, because get_page() has always seemed to be very clearly intended for use by non-GPL, driver code. So I'm hoping that making get_page() widely accessible again will not be too controversial. We did check with Fedora first, and they responded (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1074710#c3) that we should try to get upstream changed, before asking Fedora to change. Their reasoning seems beneficial to Linux: leaving CONFIG_DEBUG_VM set allows Fedora to help catch mm bugs.

mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before waking kswapd On NUMA systems, a node may start thrashing cache or even swap anonymous pages while there are still free pages on remote nodes. This is a result of commits 81c0a2bb515f ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") and fff4068cba48 ("mm: page_alloc: revert NUMA aspect of fair allocation policy"). Before those changes, the allocator would first try all allowed zones, including those on remote nodes, before waking any kswapds. But now, the allocator fastpath doubles as the fairness pass, which in turn can only consider the local node to prevent remote spilling based on exhausted fairness batches alone. Remote nodes are only considered in the slowpath, after the kswapds are woken up. But if remote nodes still have free memory, kswapd should not be woken to rebalance the local node or it may thrash cash or swap prematurely. Fix this by adding one more unfair pass over the zonelist that is allowed to spill to remote nodes after the local fairness pass fails but before entering the slowpath and waking the kswapds. This also gets rid of the GFP_THISNODE exemption from the fairness protocol because the unfair pass is no longer tied to kswapd, which GFP_THISNODE is not allowed to wake up. However, because remote spills can be more frequent now - we prefer them over local kswapd reclaim - the allocation batches on remote nodes could underflow more heavily. When resetting the batches, use atomic_long_read() directly instead of zone_page_state() to calculate the delta as the latter filters negative counter values.

mm: exclude memoryless nodes from zone_reclaim We had a report about strange OOM killer strikes on a PPC machine although there was a lot of swap free and a tons of anonymous memory which could be swapped out. In the end it turned out that the OOM was a side effect of zone reclaim which wasn't unmapping and swapping out and so the system was pushed to the OOM. Although this sounds like a bug somewhere in the kswapd vs. zone reclaim vs. direct reclaim interaction numactl on the said hardware suggests that the zone reclaim should not have been set in the first place: node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 node 0 size: 0 MB node 0 free: 0 MB node 2 cpus: node 2 size: 7168 MB node 2 free: 6019 MB node distances: node 0 2 0: 10 40 2: 40 10 So all the CPUs are associated with Node0 which doesn't have any memory while Node2 contains all the available memory. Node distances cause an automatic zone_reclaim_mode enabling. Zone reclaim is intended to keep the allocations local but this doesn't make any sense on the memoryless nodes. So let's exclude such nodes for init_zone_allows_reclaim which evaluates zone reclaim behavior and suitable reclaim_nodes.

Since the naming, get/put_mems_allowed() does suggest a mandatory pairing, rename the interface, as suggested by Mel, to resemble the seqcount interface.

mm: page_alloc: exempt GFP_THISNODE allocations from zone fairness Jan Stancek reports manual page migration encountering allocation failures after some pages when there is still plenty of memory free, and bisected the problem down to commit 81c0a2bb515f ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy"). The problem is that GFP_THISNODE obeys the zone fairness allocation batches on one hand, but doesn't reset them and wake kswapd on the other hand. After a few of those allocations, the batches are exhausted and the allocations fail. Fixing this means either having GFP_THISNODE wake up kswapd, or GFP_THISNODE not participating in zone fairness at all. The latter seems safer as an acute bugfix, we can clean up later.

mm: close PageTail race Commit bf6bddf1924e ("mm: introduce compaction and migration for ballooned pages") introduces page_count(page) into memory compaction which dereferences page->first_page if PageTail(page). This results in a very rare NULL pointer dereference on the aforementioned page_count(page). Indeed, anything that does compound_head(), including page_count() is susceptible to racing with prep_compound_page() and seeing a NULL or dangling page->first_page pointer. This patch uses Andrea's implementation of compound_trans_head() that deals with such a race and makes it the default compound_head() implementation. This includes a read memory barrier that ensures that if PageTail(head) is true that we return a head page that is neither NULL nor dangling. The patch then adds a store memory barrier to prep_compound_page() to ensure page->first_page is set. This is the safest way to ensure we see the head page that we are expecting, PageTail(page) is already in the unlikely() path and the memory barriers are unfortunately required. Hugetlbfs is the exception, we don't enforce a store memory barrier during init since no race is possible.

This patch allows bad/dump_page() callers to specify a string about why they are dumping the page and adds explanation strings to a number of places. It also adds a 'bad_flags' argument to bad_page(), which it then dumps out separately from the flags which are actually set. This way, the messages will show specifically why the page was bad, *specifically* which flags it is complaining about, if it was a page flag combination which was the problem.

mm, show_mem: remove SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT Commit 4b59e6c47309 ("mm, show_mem: suppress page counts in non-blockable contexts") introduced SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT to suppress PFN walks on large memory machines. Commit c78e93630d15 ("mm: do not walk all of system memory during show_mem") avoided a PFN walk in the generic show_mem helper which removes the requirement for SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT in that case. This patch removes PFN walkers from the arch-specific implementations that report on a per-node or per-zone granularity. ARM and unicore32 still do a PFN walk as they report memory usage on each bank which is a much finer granularity where the debugging information may still be of use. As the remaining arches doing PFN walks have relatively small amounts of memory, this patch simply removes SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT.

mm: get rid of unnecessary pageblock scanning in setup_zone_migrate_reserve Yasuaki Ishimatsu reported memory hot-add spent more than 5 _hours_ on 9TB memory machine since onlining memory sections is too slow. And we found out setup_zone_migrate_reserve spent >90% of the time. The problem is, setup_zone_migrate_reserve scans all pageblocks unconditionally, but it is only necessary if the number of reserved block was reduced (i.e. memory hot remove). Moreover, maximum MIGRATE_RESERVE per zone is currently 2. It means that the number of reserved pageblocks is almost always unchanged. This patch adds zone->nr_migrate_reserve_block to maintain the number of MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks and it reduces the overhead of setup_zone_migrate_reserve dramatically.

mm: page_alloc: revert NUMA aspect of fair allocation policy Commit 81c0a2bb515f ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") meant to bring aging fairness among zones in system, but it was overzealous and badly regressed basic workloads on NUMA systems. Due to the way kswapd and page allocator interacts, we still want to make sure that all zones in any given node are used equally for all allocations to maximize memory utilization and prevent thrashing on the highest zone in the node. While the same principle applies to NUMA nodes - memory utilization is obviously improved by spreading allocations throughout all nodes - remote references can be costly and so many workloads prefer locality over memory utilization. The original change assumed that zone_reclaim_mode would be a good enough predictor for that, but it turned out to be as indicative as a coin flip. Revert the NUMA aspect of the fairness until we can find a proper way to make it configurable and agree on a sane default.

mm: page_alloc: exclude unreclaimable allocations from zone fairness policy Dave Hansen noted a regression in a microbenchmark that loops around open() and close() on an 8-node NUMA machine and bisected it down to commit 81c0a2bb515f ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy"). That change forces the slab allocations of the file descriptor to spread out to all 8 nodes, causing remote references in the page allocator and slab. The round-robin policy is only there to provide fairness among memory allocations that are reclaimed involuntarily based on pressure in each zone. It does not make sense to apply it to unreclaimable kernel allocations that are freed manually, in this case instantly after the allocation, and incur the remote reference costs twice for no reason. Only round-robin allocations that are usually freed through page reclaim or slab shrinking. Bisected by Dave Hansen.

mm: __rmqueue_fallback() should respect pageblock type When __rmqueue_fallback() doesn't find a free block with the required size it splits a larger page and puts the rest of the page onto the free list. But it has one serious mistake. When putting back, __rmqueue_fallback() always use start_migratetype if type is not CMA. However, __rmqueue_fallback() is only called when all of the start_migratetype queue is empty. That said, __rmqueue_fallback always puts back memory to the wrong queue except try_to_steal_freepages() changed pageblock type (i.e. requested size is smaller than half of page block). The end result is that the antifragmentation framework increases fragmenation instead of decreasing it. Mel's original anti fragmentation does the right thing. But commit 47118af076f6 ("mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added") broke it. This patch restores sane and old behavior. It also removes an incorrect comment which was introduced by commit fef903efcf0c ("mm/page_alloc.c: restructure free-page stealing code and fix a bug").

mm: get rid of unnecessary overhead of trace_mm_page_alloc_extfrag() In general, every tracepoint should be zero overhead if it is disabled. However, trace_mm_page_alloc_extfrag() is one of exception. It evaluate "new_type == start_migratetype" even if tracepoint is disabled. However, the code can be moved into tracepoint's TP_fast_assign() and TP_fast_assign exist exactly such purpose. This patch does it.

sched/numa: Set preferred NUMA node based on number of private faults Ideally it would be possible to distinguish between NUMA hinting faults that are private to a task and those that are shared. If treated identically there is a risk that shared pages bounce between nodes depending on the order they are referenced by tasks. Ultimately what is desirable is that task private pages remain local to the task while shared pages are interleaved between sharing tasks running on different nodes to give good average performance. This is further complicated by THP as even applications that partition their data may not be partitioning on a huge page boundary. To start with, this patch assumes that multi-threaded or multi-process applications partition their data and that in general the private accesses are more important for cpu->memory locality in the general case. Also, no new infrastructure is required to treat private pages properly but interleaving for shared pages requires additional infrastructure. To detect private accesses the pid of the last accessing task is required but the storage requirements are a high. This patch borrows heavily from Ingo Molnar's patch "numa, mm, sched: Implement last-CPU+PID hash tracking" to encode some bits from the last accessing task in the page flags as well as the node information. Collisions will occur but it is better than just depending on the node information. Node information is then used to determine if a page needs to migrate. The PID information is used to detect private/shared accesses. The preferred NUMA node is selected based on where the maximum number of approximately private faults were measured. Shared faults are not taken into consideration for a few reasons. First, if there are many tasks sharing the page then they'll all move towards the same node. The node will be compute overloaded and then scheduled away later only to bounce back again. Alternatively the shared tasks would just bounce around nodes because the fault information is effectively noise. Either way accounting for shared faults the same as private faults can result in lower performance overall. The second reason is based on a hypothetical workload that has a small number of very important, heavily accessed private pages but a large shared array. The shared array would dominate the number of faults and be selected as a preferred node even though it's the wrong decision. The third reason is that multiple threads in a process will race each other to fault the shared page making the fault information unreliable.

mm: vmscan: fix do_try_to_free_pages() livelock This patch is based on KOSAKI's work and I add a little more description, please refer https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/14/74. Currently, I found system can enter a state that there are lots of free pages in a zone but only order-0 and order-1 pages which means the zone is heavily fragmented, then high order allocation could make direct reclaim path's long stall(ex, 60 seconds) especially in no swap and no compaciton enviroment. This problem happened on v3.4, but it seems issue still lives in current tree, the reason is do_try_to_free_pages enter live lock: kswapd will go to sleep if the zones have been fully scanned and are still not balanced. As kswapd thinks there's little point trying all over again to avoid infinite loop. Instead it changes order from high-order to 0-order because kswapd think order-0 is the most important. Look at 73ce02e9 in detail. If watermarks are ok, kswapd will go back to sleep and may leave zone->all_unreclaimable =3D 0. It assume high-order users can still perform direct reclaim if they wish. Direct reclaim continue to reclaim for a high order which is not a COSTLY_ORDER without oom-killer until kswapd turn on zone->all_unreclaimble= . This is because to avoid too early oom-kill. So it means direct_reclaim depends on kswapd to break this loop. In worst case, direct-reclaim may continue to page reclaim forever when kswapd sleeps forever until someone like watchdog detect and finally kill the process. As described in: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/103737 We can't turn on zone->all_unreclaimable from direct reclaim path because direct reclaim path don't take any lock and this way is racy. Thus this patch removes zone->all_unreclaimable field completely and recalculates zone reclaimable state every time. Note: we can't take the idea that direct-reclaim see zone->pages_scanned directly and kswapd continue to use zone->all_unreclaimable. Because, it is racy. commit 929bea7c71 (vmscan: all_unreclaimable() use zone->all_unreclaimable as a name) describes the detail.

mm: memory-hotplug: enable memory hotplug to handle hugepage Until now we can't offline memory blocks which contain hugepages because a hugepage is considered as an unmovable page. But now with this patch series, a hugepage has become movable, so by using hugepage migration we can offline such memory blocks. What's different from other users of hugepage migration is that we need to decompose all the hugepages inside the target memory block into free buddy pages after hugepage migration, because otherwise free hugepages remaining in the memory block intervene the memory offlining. For this reason we introduce new functions dissolve_free_huge_page() and dissolve_free_huge_pages(). Other than that, what this patch does is straightforwardly to add hugepage migration code, that is, adding hugepage code to the functions which scan over pfn and collect hugepages to be migrated, and adding a hugepage allocation function to alloc_migrate_target(). As for larger hugepages (1GB for x86_64), it's not easy to do hotremove over them because it's larger than memory block. So we now simply leave it to fail as it is.

vmstat: create separate function to fold per cpu diffs into local counters The main idea behind this patchset is to reduce the vmstat update overhead by avoiding interrupt enable/disable and the use of per cpu atomics. This patch (of 3): It is better to have a separate folding function because refresh_cpu_vm_stats() also does other things like expire pages in the page allocator caches. If we have a separate function then refresh_cpu_vm_stats() is only called from the local cpu which allows additional optimizations. The folding function is only called when a cpu is being downed and therefore no other processor will be accessing the counters. Also simplifies synchronization.

mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy Each zone that holds userspace pages of one workload must be aged at a speed proportional to the zone size. Otherwise, the time an individual page gets to stay in memory depends on the zone it happened to be allocated in. Asymmetry in the zone aging creates rather unpredictable aging behavior and results in the wrong pages being reclaimed, activated etc. But exactly this happens right now because of the way the page allocator and kswapd interact. The page allocator uses per-node lists of all zones in the system, ordered by preference, when allocating a new page. When the first iteration does not yield any results, kswapd is woken up and the allocator retries. Due to the way kswapd reclaims zones below the high watermark while a zone can be allocated from when it is above the low watermark, the allocator may keep kswapd running while kswapd reclaim ensures that the page allocator can keep allocating from the first zone in the zonelist for extended periods of time. Meanwhile the other zones rarely see new allocations and thus get aged much slower in comparison. The result is that the occasional page placed in lower zones gets relatively more time in memory, even gets promoted to the active list after its peers have long been evicted. Meanwhile, the bulk of the working set may be thrashing on the preferred zone even though there may be significant amounts of memory available in the lower zones. Even the most basic test -- repeatedly reading a file slightly bigger than memory -- shows how broken the zone aging is. In this scenario, no single page should be able stay in memory long enough to get referenced twice and activated, but activation happens in spades: $ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo nr_inactive_file 0 nr_active_file 0 nr_inactive_file 0 nr_active_file 8 nr_inactive_file 1582 nr_active_file 11994 $ cat data data data data >/dev/null $ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo nr_inactive_file 0 nr_active_file 70 nr_inactive_file 258753 nr_active_file 443214 nr_inactive_file 149793 nr_active_file 12021 Fix this with a very simple round robin allocator. Each zone is allowed a batch of allocations that is proportional to the zone's size, after which it is treated as full. The batch counters are reset when all zones have been tried and the allocator enters the slowpath and kicks off kswapd reclaim. Allocation and reclaim is now fairly spread out to all available/allowable zones: $ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo nr_inactive_file 0 nr_active_file 0 nr_inactive_file 174 nr_active_file 4865 nr_inactive_file 53 nr_active_file 860 $ cat data data data data >/dev/null $ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo nr_inactive_file 0 nr_active_file 0 nr_inactive_file 666622 nr_active_file 4988 nr_inactive_file 190969 nr_active_file 937 When zone_reclaim_mode is enabled, allocations will now spread out to all zones on the local node, not just the first preferred zone (which on a 4G node might be a tiny Normal zone).

Obviously that wouldn't have been the original intent. (We already have a separate 'change_ownership' field to tell whether the ownership of the pageblock was changed from the fallback_migratetype to the preferred type.)

mm/page_allo.c: restructure free-page stealing code and fix a bug The free-page stealing code in __rmqueue_fallback() is somewhat hard to follow, and has an incredible amount of subtlety hidden inside! First off, there is a minor bug in the reporting of change-of-ownership of pageblocks. Under some conditions, we try to move upto 'pageblock_nr_pages' no. of pages to the preferred allocation list. But we change the ownership of that pageblock to the preferred type only if we manage to successfully move atleast half of that pageblock (or if page_group_by_mobility_disabled is set). However, the current code ignores the latter part and sets the 'migratetype' variable to the preferred type, irrespective of whether we actually changed the pageblock migratetype of that block or not. So, the page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint can end up printing incorrect info (i.e., 'change_ownership' might be shown as 1 when it must have been 0). So fixing this involves moving the update of the 'migratetype' variable to the right place. But looking closer, we observe that the 'migratetype' variable is used subsequently for checks such as "is_migrate_cma()". Obviously the intent there is to check if the *fallback* type is MIGRATE_CMA, but since we already set the 'migratetype' variable to start_migratetype, we end up checking if the *preferred* type is MIGRATE_CMA!! To make things more interesting, this actually doesn't cause a bug in practice, because we never change *anything* if the fallback type is CMA. So, restructure the code in such a way that it is trivial to understand what is going on, and also fix the above mentioned bug. And while at it, also add a comment explaining the subtlety behind the migratetype used in the call to expand().

The related warning: The function __meminit .free_area_init_node() references a function __init .set_pageblock_order(). If .set_pageblock_order is only used by .free_area_init_node then annotate .set_pageblock_order with a matching annotation.

mm/page_alloc.c: remove unlikely() from the current_order test In __rmqueue_fallback(), current_order loops down from MAX_ORDER - 1 to the order passed. MAX_ORDER is typically 11 and pageblock_order is typically 9 on x86. Integer division truncates, so pageblock_order / 2 is 4. For the first eight iterations, it's guaranteed that current_order >= pageblock_order / 2 if it even gets that far! So just remove the unlikely(), it's completely bogus.

mm: remove duplicated call of get_pfn_range_for_nid When calculating pages in a node, for each zone in that node, we will have zone_spanned_pages_in_node --> get_pfn_range_for_nid zone_absent_pages_in_node --> get_pfn_range_for_nid That is to say, we call the get_pfn_range_for_nid to get start_pfn and end_pfn of the node for MAX_NR_ZONES * 2 times. And this is totally unnecessary if we call the get_pfn_range_for_nid before zone_*_pages_in_node add two extra arguments node_start_pfn and node_end_pfn for zone_*_pages_in_node, then we can remove the get_pfn_range_in_node in zone_*_pages_in_node.

mm: report available pages as "MemTotal" for each NUMA node As reported by https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501, "MemTotal" from /proc/meminfo means memory pages managed by the buddy system (managed_pages), but "MemTotal" from /sys/.../node/nodex/meminfo means physical pages present (present_pages) within the NUMA node. There's a difference between managed_pages and present_pages due to bootmem allocator and reserved pages. And Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt says MemTotal: Total usable ram (i.e. physical ram minus a few reserved bits and the kernel binary code) So change /sys/.../node/nodex/meminfo to report available pages within the node as "MemTotal".

And change code which directly adjusts totalram_pages to use adjust_managed_page_count() because it adjusts totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and zone->managed_pages altogether in a safe way. Remove inc_totalhigh_pages() and dec_totalhigh_pages() from xen/balloon driver bacause adjust_managed_page_count() has already adjusted totalhigh_pages. This patch also fixes two bugs: 1) enhances virtio_balloon driver to adjust totalhigh_pages when reserve/unreserve pages. 2) enhance memory_hotplug.c to adjust totalhigh_pages when hot-removing memory. We still need to deal with modifications of totalram_pages in file arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/cmm.c, but need help from PPC experts.

mm: make __free_pages_bootmem() only available at boot time In order to simpilify management of totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages, make __free_pages_bootmem() only available at boot time. With this change applied, __free_pages_bootmem() will only be used by bootmem.c and nobootmem.c at boot time, so mark it as __init. Other callers of __free_pages_bootmem() have been converted to use free_reserved_page(), which handles totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in a safer way. This patch also fix a bug in free_pagetable() for x86_64, which should increase zone->managed_pages instead of zone->present_pages when freeing reserved pages. And now we have managed_pages_count_lock to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages, so remove the redundant ppb_lock lock in put_page_bootmem(). This greatly simplifies the locking rules.

mm: use a dedicated lock to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages Currently lock_memory_hotplug()/unlock_memory_hotplug() are used to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages. Other than the memory hotplug driver, totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages may also be modified at runtime by other drivers, such as Xen balloon, virtio_balloon etc. For those cases, memory hotplug lock is a little too heavy, so introduce a dedicated lock to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages. Now we have a simplified locking rules totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages as: 1) no locking for read accesses because they are unsigned long. 2) no locking for write accesses at boot time in single-threaded context. 3) serialize write accesses at runtime by acquiring the dedicated managed_page_count_lock. Also adjust zone->managed_pages when freeing reserved pages into the buddy system, to keep totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in consistence.

mm: accurately calculate zone->managed_pages for highmem zones Commit "mm: introduce new field 'managed_pages' to struct zone" assumes that all highmem pages will be freed into the buddy system by function mem_init(). But that's not always true, some architectures may reserve some highmem pages during boot. For example PPC may allocate highmem pages for giagant HugeTLB pages, and several architectures have code to check PageReserved flag to exclude highmem pages allocated during boot when freeing highmem pages into the buddy system. So treat highmem pages in the same way as normal pages, that is to: 1) reset zone->managed_pages to zero in mem_init(). 2) recalculate managed_pages when freeing pages into the buddy system.

mm/page_alloc: don't re-init pageset in zone_pcp_update() When memory hotplug is triggered, we call pageset_init() on per-cpu-pagesets which both contain pages and are in use, causing both the leakage of those pages and (potentially) bad behaviour if a page is allocated from a pageset while it is being cleared. Avoid this by factoring out pageset_set_high_and_batch() (which contains all needed logic too set a pageset's ->high and ->batch inrespective of system state) from zone_pageset_init() and using the new pageset_set_high_and_batch() instead of zone_pageset_init() in zone_pcp_update().

mm/page_alloc: convert zone_pcp_update() to rely on memory barriers instead of stop_machine() zone_pcp_update()'s goal is to adjust the ->high and ->mark members of a percpu pageset based on a zone's ->managed_pages. We don't need to drain the entire percpu pageset just to modify these fields. This lets us avoid calling setup_pageset() (and the draining required to call it) and instead allows simply setting the fields' values (with some attention paid to memory barriers to prevent the relationship between ->batch and ->high from being thrown off). This does change the behavior of zone_pcp_update() as the percpu pagesets will not be drained when zone_pcp_update() is called (they will end up being shrunk, not completely drained, later when a 0-order page is freed in free_hot_cold_page()).

mm/page_alloc: insert memory barriers to allow async update of pcp batch and high Introduce pageset_update() to perform a safe transision from one set of pcp->{batch,high} to a new set using memory barriers. This ensures that batch is always set to a safe value (1) prior to updating high, and ensure that high is fully updated before setting the real value of batch. It avoids ->batch ever rising above ->high. Suggested by Gilad Ben-Yossef in these threads: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/9/23 https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/10/49 Also reproduces his proposed comment.

mm/page_alloc: factor out setting of pcp->high and pcp->batch "Problems" with the current code: 1: there is a lack of synchronization in setting ->high and ->batch in percpu_pagelist_fraction_sysctl_handler() 2: stop_machine() in zone_pcp_update() is unnecissary. 3: zone_pcp_update() does not consider the case where percpu_pagelist_fraction is non-zero To fix: 1: add memory barriers, a safe ->batch value, an update side mutex when updating ->high and ->batch, and use ACCESS_ONCE() for ->batch users that expect a stable value. 2: avoid draining pages in zone_pcp_update(), rely upon the memory barriers added to fix #1 3: factor out quite a few functions, and then call the appropriate one. Note that it results in a change to the behavior of zone_pcp_update(), which is used by memory_hotplug. I'm rather certain that I've diserned (and preserved) the essential behavior (changing ->high and ->batch), and only eliminated unneeded actions (draining the per cpu pages), but this may not be the case. Further note that the draining of pages that previously took place in zone_pcp_update() occured after repeated draining when attempting to offline a page, and after the offline has "succeeded". It appears that the draining was added to zone_pcp_update() to avoid refactoring setup_pageset() into 2 funtions. This patch: Creates pageset_set_batch() for use in setup_pageset(). pageset_set_batch() imitates the functionality of setup_pagelist_highmark(), but uses the boot time (percpu_pagelist_fraction == 0) calculations for determining ->high based on ->batch.

mm/page_alloc.c: fix watermark check in __zone_watermark_ok() The watermark check consists of two sub-checks. The first one is: if (free_pages <= min + lowmem_reserve) return false; The check assures that there is minimal amount of RAM in the zone. If CMA is used then the free_pages is reduced by the number of free pages in CMA prior to the over-mentioned check. if (!(alloc_flags & ALLOC_CMA)) free_pages -= zone_page_state(z, NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES); This prevents the zone from being drained from pages available for non-movable allocations. The second check prevents the zone from getting too fragmented. for (o = 0; o < order; o++) { free_pages -= z->free_area[o].nr_free << o; min >>= 1; if (free_pages <= min) return false; } The field z->free_area[o].nr_free is equal to the number of free pages including free CMA pages. Therefore the CMA pages are subtracted twice. This may cause a false positive fail of __zone_watermark_ok() if the CMA area gets strongly fragmented. In such a case there are many 0-order free pages located in CMA. Those pages are subtracted twice therefore they will quickly drain free_pages during the check against fragmentation. The test fails even though there are many free non-cma pages in the zone. This patch fixes this issue by subtracting CMA pages only for a purpose of (free_pages <= min + lowmem_reserve) check. Laura said: We were observing allocation failures of higher order pages (order 5 = 128K typically) under tight memory conditions resulting in driver failure. The output from the page allocation failure showed plenty of free pages of the appropriate order/type/zone and mostly CMA pages in the lower orders. For full disclosure, we still observed some page allocation failures even after applying the patch but the number was drastically reduced and those failures were attributed to fragmentation/other system issues.

mm: speedup in __early_pfn_to_nid When booting on a large memory system, the kernel spends considerable time in memmap_init_zone() setting up memory zones. Analysis shows significant time spent in __early_pfn_to_nid(). The routine memmap_init_zone() checks each PFN to verify the nid is valid. __early_pfn_to_nid() sequentially scans the list of pfn ranges to find the right range and returns the nid. This does not scale well. On a 4 TB (single rack) system there are 308 memory ranges to scan. The higher the PFN the more time spent sequentially spinning through memory ranges. Since memmap_init_zone() increments pfn, it will almost always be looking for the same range as the previous pfn, so check that range first. If it is in the same range, return that nid. If not, scan the list as before. A 4 TB (single rack) UV1 system takes 512 seconds to get through the zone code. This performance optimization reduces the time by 189 seconds, a 36% improvement. A 2 TB (single rack) UV2 system goes from 212.7 seconds to 99.8 seconds, a 112.9 second (53%) reduction.

mm: page_alloc: avoid marking zones full prematurely after zone_reclaim() The following problem was reported against a distribution kernel when zone_reclaim was enabled but the same problem applies to the mainline kernel. The reproduction case was as follows 1. Run numactl -m +0 dd if=largefile of=/dev/null This allocates a large number of clean pages in node 0 2. numactl -N +0 memhog 0.5*Mg This start a memory-using application in node 0. The expected behaviour is that the clean pages get reclaimed and the application uses node 0 for its memory. The observed behaviour was that the memory for the memhog application was allocated off-node since commits cd38b115d5ad ("mm: page allocator: initialise ZLC for first zone eligible for zone_reclaim") and commit 76d3fbf8fbf6 ("mm: page allocator: reconsider zones for allocation after direct reclaim"). The assumption of those patches was that it was always preferable to allocate quickly than stall for long periods of time and they were meant to take care that the zone was only marked full when necessary but an important case was missed. In the allocator fast path, only the low watermarks are checked. If the zones free pages are between the low and min watermark then allocations from the allocators slow path will succeed. However, zone_reclaim will only reclaim SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX or 1<<order pages. There is no guarantee that this will meet the low watermark causing the zone to be marked full prematurely. This patch will only mark the zone full after zone_reclaim if it the min watermarks are checked or if page reclaim failed to make sufficient progress.

Introduction of free_highmem_page() is one step forward to clean up accesses and modificaitons of totalhigh_pages, totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages etc. I hope we could remove all references to totalhigh_pages from the arch/ subdirectory. We have only tested these patchset on x86 platforms, and have done basic compliation tests using cross-compilers from ftp.kernel.org. That means some code may not pass compilation on some architectures. So any help to test this patchset are welcomed! There are several other parts still under development: Part3: refine code to manage totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and zone->managed_pages Part4: introduce helper functions to simplify mem_init() and remove the global variable num_physpages. This patch: Introduce helper function free_highmem_page(), which will be used by architectures with HIGHMEM enabled to free highmem pages into the buddy system.

mm: introduce common help functions to deal with reserved/managed pages The original goal of this patchset is to fix the bug reported by https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501 Now it has also been expanded to reduce common code used by memory initializion. This is the first part, which applies to v3.9-rc1. It introduces following common helper functions to simplify free_initmem() and free_initrd_mem() on different architectures: adjust_managed_page_count(): will be used to adjust totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages, zone->managed_pages when reserving/unresering a page. __free_reserved_page(): free a reserved page into the buddy system without adjusting page statistics info free_reserved_page(): free a reserved page into the buddy system and adjust page statistics info mark_page_reserved(): mark a page as reserved and adjust page statistics info free_reserved_area(): free a continous ranges of pages by calling free_reserved_page() free_initmem_default(): default method to free __init pages. We have only tested these patchset on x86 platforms, and have done basic compliation tests using cross-compilers from ftp.kernel.org. That means some code may not pass compilation on some architectures. So any help to test this patchset are welcomed! There are several other parts still under development: Part2: introduce free_highmem_page() to simplify freeing highmem pages Part3: refine code to manage totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and zone->managed_pages Part4: introduce helper functions to simplify mem_init() and remove the global variable num_physpages. This patch: Code to deal with reserved/managed pages are duplicated by many architectures, so introduce common help functions to reduce duplicated code. These common help functions will also be used to concentrate code to modify totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages, which makes the code much more clear.

mm, show_mem: suppress page counts in non-blockable contexts On large systems with a lot of memory, walking all RAM to determine page types may take a half second or even more. In non-blockable contexts, the page allocator will emit a page allocation failure warning unless __GFP_NOWARN is specified. In such contexts, irqs are typically disabled and such a lengthy delay may even result in NMI watchdog timeouts. To fix this, suppress the page walk in such contexts when printing the page allocation failure warning.

[node: 1 != 0]. Ignoring dependency. smpboot: Booting Node 1, Processors #1 Modules linked in: Pid: 0, comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 3.9.0-0-generic #1 Call Trace: set_cpu_sibling_map+0x279/0x449 start_secondary+0x11d/0x1e5 Don Morris reproduced on a HP z620 workstation, and bisected it to commit e8d195525809 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is ready") It turns out movable_map has some problems, and it breaks several things 1. numa_init is called several times, NOT just for srat. so those nodes_clear(numa_nodes_parsed) memset(&numa_meminfo, 0, sizeof(numa_meminfo)) can not be just removed. Need to consider sequence is: numaq, srat, amd, dummy. and make fall back path working. 2. simply split acpi_numa_init to early_parse_srat. a. that early_parse_srat is NOT called for ia64, so you break ia64. b. for (i = 0; i < MAX_LOCAL_APIC; i++) set_apicid_to_node(i, NUMA_NO_NODE) still left in numa_init. So it will just clear result from early_parse_srat. it should be moved before that.... c. it breaks ACPI_TABLE_OVERIDE...as the acpi table scan is moved early before override from INITRD is settled. 3. that patch TITLE is total misleading, there is NO x86 in the title, but it changes critical x86 code. It caused x86 guys did not pay attention to find the problem early. Those patches really should be routed via tip/x86/mm. 4. after that commit, following range can not use movable ram: a. real_mode code.... well..funny, legacy Node0 [0,1M) could be hot-removed? b. initrd... it will be freed after booting, so it could be on movable... c. crashkernel for kdump...: looks like we can not put kdump kernel above 4G anymore. d. init_mem_mapping: can not put page table high anymore. e. initmem_init: vmemmap can not be high local node anymore. That is not good. If node is hotplugable, the mem related range like page table and vmemmap could be on the that node without problem and should be on that node. We have workaround patch that could fix some problems, but some can not be fixed. So just remove that offending commit and related ones including: f7210e6c4ac7 ("mm/memblock.c: use CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP to protect movablecore_map in memblock_overlaps_region().") 01a178a94e8e ("acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from SRAT") 27168d38fa20 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: extend movablemem_map ranges to the end of node") e8d195525809 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is ready") fb06bc8e5f42 ("page_alloc: bootmem limit with movablecore_map") 42f47e27e761 ("page_alloc: make movablemem_map have higher priority") 6981ec31146c ("page_alloc: introduce zone_movable_limit[] to keep movable limit for nodes") 34b71f1e04fc ("page_alloc: add movable_memmap kernel parameter") 4d59a75125d5 ("x86: get pg_data_t's memory from other node") Later we should have patches that will make sure kernel put page table and vmemmap on local node ram instead of push them down to node0. Also need to find way to put other kernel used ram to local node ram.

mm: add & use zone_end_pfn() and zone_spans_pfn() Add 2 helpers (zone_end_pfn() and zone_spans_pfn()) to reduce code duplication. This also switches to using them in compaction (where an additional variable needed to be renamed), page_alloc, vmstat, memory_hotplug, and kmemleak. Note that in compaction.c I avoid calling zone_end_pfn() repeatedly because I expect at some point the sycronization issues with start_pfn & spanned_pages will need fixing, either by actually using the seqlock or clever memory barrier usage.

mm: rename page struct field helpers The function names page_xchg_last_nid(), page_last_nid() and reset_page_last_nid() were judged to be inconsistent so rename them to a struct_field_op style pattern. As it looked jarring to have reset_page_mapcount() and page_nid_reset_last() beside each other in memmap_init_zone(), this patch also renames reset_page_mapcount() to page_mapcount_reset(). There are others like init_page_count() but as it is used throughout the arch code a rename would likely cause more conflicts than it is worth.

mm: teach mm by current context info to not do I/O during memory allocation This patch introduces PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO on process flag('flags' field of 'struct task_struct'), so that the flag can be set by one task to avoid doing I/O inside memory allocation in the task's context. The patch trys to solve one deadlock problem caused by block device, and the problem may happen at least in the below situations: - during block device runtime resume, if memory allocation with GFP_KERNEL is called inside runtime resume callback of any one of its ancestors(or the block device itself), the deadlock may be triggered inside the memory allocation since it might not complete until the block device becomes active and the involed page I/O finishes. The situation is pointed out first by Alan Stern. It is not a good approach to convert all GFP_KERNEL[1] in the path into GFP_NOIO because several subsystems may be involved(for example, PCI, USB and SCSI may be involved for usb mass stoarage device, network devices involved too in the iSCSI case) - during block device runtime suspend, because runtime resume need to wait for completion of concurrent runtime suspend. - during error handling of usb mass storage deivce, USB bus reset will be put on the device, so there shouldn't have any memory allocation with GFP_KERNEL during USB bus reset, otherwise the deadlock similar with above may be triggered. Unfortunately, any usb device may include one mass storage interface in theory, so it requires all usb interface drivers to handle the situation. In fact, most usb drivers don't know how to handle bus reset on the device and don't provide .pre_set() and .post_reset() callback at all, so USB core has to unbind and bind driver for these devices. So it is still not practical to resort to GFP_NOIO for solving the problem. Also the introduced solution can be used by block subsystem or block drivers too, for example, set the PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag before doing actual I/O transfer. It is not a good idea to convert all these GFP_KERNEL in the affected path into GFP_NOIO because these functions doing that may be implemented as library and will be called in many other contexts. In fact, memalloc_noio_flags() can convert some of current static GFP_NOIO allocation into GFP_KERNEL back in other non-affected contexts, at least almost all GFP_NOIO in USB subsystem can be converted into GFP_KERNEL after applying the approach and make allocation with GFP_NOIO only happen in runtime resume/bus reset/block I/O transfer contexts generally. [1], several GFP_KERNEL allocation examples in runtime resume path - pci subsystem acpi_os_allocate <-acpi_ut_allocate <-ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED <-acpi_evaluate_object <-__acpi_bus_set_power <-acpi_bus_set_power <-acpi_pci_set_power_state <-platform_pci_set_power_state <-pci_platform_power_transition <-__pci_complete_power_transition <-pci_set_power_state <-pci_restore_standard_config <-pci_pm_runtime_resume - usb subsystem usb_get_status <-finish_port_resume <-usb_port_resume <-generic_resume <-usb_resume_device <-usb_resume_both <-usb_runtime_resume - some individual usb drivers usblp, uvc, gspca, most of dvb-usb-v2 media drivers, cpia2, az6007, .... That is just what I have found. Unfortunately, this allocation can only be found by human being now, and there should be many not found since any function in the resume path(call tree) may allocate memory with GFP_KERNEL.

acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from SRAT We now provide an option for users who don't want to specify physical memory address in kernel commandline. /* * For movablemem_map=acpi: * * SRAT: |_____| |_____| |_________| |_________| ...... * node id: 0 1 1 2 * hotpluggable: n y y n * movablemem_map: |_____| |_________| * * Using movablemem_map, we can prevent memblock from allocating memory * on ZONE_MOVABLE at boot time. */ So user just specify movablemem_map=acpi, and the kernel will use hotpluggable info in SRAT to determine which memory ranges should be set as ZONE_MOVABLE. If all the memory ranges in SRAT is hotpluggable, then no memory can be used by kernel. But before parsing SRAT, memblock has already reserve some memory ranges for other purposes, such as for kernel image, and so on. We cannot prevent kernel from using these memory. So we need to exclude these ranges even if these memory is hotpluggable. Furthermore, there could be several memory ranges in the single node which the kernel resides in. We may skip one range that have memory reserved by memblock, but if the rest of memory is too small, then the kernel will fail to boot. So, make the whole node which the kernel resides in un-hotpluggable. Then the kernel has enough memory to use. NOTE: Using this way will cause NUMA performance down because the whole node will be set as ZONE_MOVABLE, and kernel cannot use memory on it. If users don't want to lose NUMA performance, just don't use it.

acpi, memory-hotplug: extend movablemem_map ranges to the end of node When implementing movablemem_map boot option, we introduced an array movablemem_map.map[] to store the memory ranges to be set as ZONE_MOVABLE. Since ZONE_MOVABLE is the latst zone of a node, if user didn't specify the whole node memory range, we need to extend it to the node end so that we can use it to prevent memblock from allocating memory in the ranges user didn't specify. We now implement movablemem_map boot option like this: /* * For movablemem_map=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]: * * SRAT: |_____| |_____| |_________| |_________| ...... * node id: 0 1 1 2 * user specified: |__| |___| * movablemem_map: |___| |_________| |______| ...... * * Using movablemem_map, we can prevent memblock from allocating memory * on ZONE_MOVABLE at boot time. * * NOTE: In this case, SRAT info will be ingored. */ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: clean up code, fix build warning] Signed-off-by: Tang Chen <tangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Jiang Liu <jiang.liu@huawei.com> Cc: Jianguo Wu <wujianguo@huawei.com> Cc: Kamezawa Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Wu Jianguo <wujianguo@huawei.com> Cc: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: "H.

mm: fix pageblock bitmap allocation Commit c060f943d092 ("mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx calculation") fixed out calculation of the index into the pageblock bitmap when a !SPARSEMEM zome was not aligned to pageblock_nr_pages. However, the _allocation_ of that bitmap had never taken this alignment requirement into accout, so depending on the exact size and alignment of the zone, the use of that index could then access past the allocation, resulting in some very subtle memory corruption. This was reported (and bisected) by Ingo Molnar: one of his random config builds would hang with certain very specific kernel command line options. In the meantime, commit c060f943d092 has been marked for stable, so this fix needs to be back-ported to the stable kernels that backported the commit to use the right alignment.

mm: compaction: partially revert capture of suitable high-order page Eric Wong reported on 3.7 and 3.8-rc2 that ppoll() got stuck when waiting for POLLIN on a local TCP socket. It was easier to trigger if there was disk IO and dirty pages at the same time and he bisected it to commit 1fb3f8ca0e92 ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page immediately when it is made available"). The intention of that patch was to improve high-order allocations under memory pressure after changes made to reclaim in 3.6 drastically hurt THP allocations but the approach was flawed. For Eric, the problem was that page->pfmemalloc was not being cleared for captured pages leading to a poor interaction with swap-over-NFS support causing the packets to be dropped. However, I identified a few more problems with the patch including the fact that it can increase contention on zone->lock in some cases which could result in async direct compaction being aborted early. In retrospect the capture patch took the wrong approach. What it should have done is mark the pageblock being migrated as MIGRATE_ISOLATE if it was allocating for THP and avoided races that way. While the patch was showing to improve allocation success rates at the time, the benefit is marginal given the relative complexity and it should be revisited from scratch in the context of the other reclaim-related changes that have taken place since the patch was first written and tested.

mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx calculation The current calculation in pfn_to_bitidx assumes that (pfn - zone->zone_start_pfn) >> pageblock_order will return the same bit for all pfn in a pageblock. If zone_start_pfn is not aligned to pageblock_nr_pages, this may not always be correct. Consider the following with pageblock order = 10, zone start 2MB: pfn | pfn - zone start | (pfn - zone start) >> page block order ---------------------------------------------------------------- 0x26000 | 0x25e00 | 0x97 0x26100 | 0x25f00 | 0x97 0x26200 | 0x26000 | 0x98 0x26300 | 0x26100 | 0x98 This means that calling {get,set}_pageblock_migratetype on a single page will not set the migratetype for the full block. Fix this by rounding down zone_start_pfn when doing the bitidx calculation. For our use case, the effects of this bug were mostly tied to the fact that CMA allocations would either take a long time or fail to happen. Depending on the driver using CMA, this could result in anything from visual glitches to application failures.

Then later, commit 2139cbe627b8 ("cma: fix counting of isolated pages") fixed accounting of isolated pages in global free pages counter. It made the previous zone_watermark_ok_safe() fix unnecessary and potentially harmful (cause now isolated pages may be accounted twice making free pages counter incorrect).

Tasks in the root memcg can always proceed.

mm: introduce new field "managed_pages" to struct zone Currently a zone's present_pages is calcuated as below, which is inaccurate and may cause trouble to memory hotplug. spanned_pages - absent_pages - memmap_pages - dma_reserve. During fixing bugs caused by inaccurate zone->present_pages, we found zone->present_pages has been abused. The field zone->present_pages may have different meanings in different contexts: 1) pages existing in a zone. 2) pages managed by the buddy system. For more discussions about the issue, please refer to: http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/5/866 https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1346751/ This patchset tries to introduce a new field named "managed_pages" to struct zone, which counts "pages managed by the buddy system". And revert zone->present_pages to count "physical pages existing in a zone", which also keep in consistence with pgdat->node_present_pages. We will set an initial value for zone->managed_pages in function free_area_init_core() and will adjust it later if the initial value is inaccurate. For DMA/normal zones, the initial value is set to: (spanned_pages - absent_pages - memmap_pages - dma_reserve) Later zone->managed_pages will be adjusted to the accurate value when the bootmem allocator frees all free pages to the buddy system in function free_all_bootmem_node() and free_all_bootmem(). The bootmem allocator doesn't touch highmem pages, so highmem zones' managed_pages is set to the accurate value "spanned_pages - absent_pages" in function free_area_init_core() and won't be updated anymore. This patch also adds a new field "managed_pages" to /proc/zoneinfo and sysrq showmem.

N_MEMORY stands for the nodes that has any memory. The code here need to handle with the nodes which have memory, we should use N_MEMORY instead.

mm: use migrate_prep() instead of migrate_prep_local() __alloc_contig_migrate_range() should use all possible ways to get all the pages migrated from the given memory range, so pruning per-cpu lru lists for all CPUs is required, regadless the cost of such operation. Otherwise some pages which got stuck at per-cpu lru list might get missed by migration procedure causing the contiguous allocation to fail.

memory-hotplug: fix NR_FREE_PAGES mismatch NR_FREE_PAGES will be wrong after offlining pages. We add/dec NR_FREE_PAGES like this now: 1. move all pages in buddy system to MIGRATE_ISOLATE, and dec NR_FREE_PAGES 2. don't add NR_FREE_PAGES when it is freed and the migratetype is MIGRATE_ISOLATE 3. dec NR_FREE_PAGES when offlining isolated pages. 4. add NR_FREE_PAGES when undoing isolate pages. When we come to step 3, all pages are in MIGRATE_ISOLATE list, and NR_FREE_PAGES are right. When we come to step4, all pages are not in buddy system, so we don't change NR_FREE_PAGES in this step, but we change NR_FREE_PAGES in step3. So NR_FREE_PAGES is wrong after offlining pages. So there is no need to change NR_FREE_PAGES in step3. This patch also fixs a problem in step2: if the migratetype is MIGRATE_ISOLATE, we should not add NR_FRR_PAGES when we remove pages from pcppages.

This is a revert of a revert of a revert. In addition, it reverts the even older i915 change to stop using the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag due to the original commits in linux-next. It turns out that the original patch really was bogus, and that the original revert was the correct thing to do after all. We thought we had fixed the problem, and then reverted the revert, but the problem really is fundamental: waking up kswapd simply isn't the right thing to do, and direct reclaim sometimes simply _is_ the right thing to do. When certain allocations fail, we simply should try some direct reclaim, and if that fails, fail the allocation. That's the right thing to do for THP allocations, which can easily fail, and the GPU allocations want to do that too. So starting kswapd is sometimes simply wrong, and removing the flag that said "don't start kswapd" was a mistake. Let's hope we never revisit this mistake again - and certainly not this many times ;) Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

We are going to reinstate the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag that has been removed, the removal reverted, and then removed again. Making this commit a pointless fixup for a problem that was caused by the removal of __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag. The thing is, we really don't want to wake up kswapd for THP allocations (because they fail quite commonly under any kind of memory pressure, including when there is tons of memory free), and these patches were just trying to fix up the underlying bug: the original removal of __GFP_NO_KSWAPD in commit c654345924f7 ("mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD") was simply bogus.

That is one part of the problem but not the root cause as file-backed pages could also be reclaimed. The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path. If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided. However, if there are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time. This is noticed by the main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep(). Instead it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling shrink_slab() on each iteration. This patch defers when kswapd gets woken up for THP allocations. For !THP allocations, kswapd is always woken up.

fix incorrect NR_FREE_PAGES accounting (appears like memory leak) There have been some 3.7-rc reports of vm issues, including some kswapd bugs and, more importantly, some memory "leaks": http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg46187.html https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50181 Commit 1fb3f8ca0e92 ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page immediately when it is made available") took split_free_page() and reused it for the compaction code. It does something curious with capture_free_page() (previously known as split_free_page()): int capture_free_page(struct page *page, int alloc_order, ... __mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_FREE_PAGES, -(1UL << order)); - /* Split into individual pages */ - set_page_refcounted(page); - split_page(page, order); + if (alloc_order != order) + expand(zone, page, alloc_order, order, + &zone->free_area[order], migratetype); Note that expand() puts the pages _back_ in the allocator, but it does not bump NR_FREE_PAGES. We "return" 'alloc_order' worth of pages, but we accounted for removing 'order' in the __mod_zone_page_state() call. For the old split_page()-style use (order==alloc_order) the bug will not trigger. But, when called from the compaction code where we occasionally get a larger page out of the buddy allocator than we need, we will run in to this. This patch simply changes the NR_FREE_PAGES manipulation to the correct 'alloc_order' instead of 'order'. I've been able to repeatedly trigger this in my testing environment. The amount "leaked" very closely tracks the imbalance I see in buddy pages vs. NR_FREE_PAGES. I have confirmed that this patch fixes the imbalance Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

revert "mm: fix-up zone present pages" Revert commit 7f1290f2f2a4 ("mm: fix-up zone present pages") That patch tried to fix a issue when calculating zone->present_pages, but it caused a regression on 32bit systems with HIGHMEM. With that change, reset_zone_present_pages() resets all zone->present_pages to zero, and fixup_zone_present_pages() is called to recalculate zone->present_pages when the boot allocator frees core memory pages into buddy allocator. Because highmem pages are not freed by bootmem allocator, all highmem zones' present_pages becomes zero. Various options for improving the situation are being discussed but for now, let's return to the 3.6 code.

memcg: fix hotplugged memory zone oops When MEMCG is configured on (even when it's disabled by boot option), when adding or removing a page to/from its lru list, the zone pointer used for stats updates is nowadays taken from the struct lruvec. (On many configurations, calculating zone from page is slower.) But we have no code to update all the lruvecs (per zone, per memcg) when a memory node is hotadded. Here's an extract from the oops which results when running numactl to bind a program to a newly onlined node: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000f60 IP: __mod_zone_page_state+0x9/0x60 Pid: 1219, comm: numactl Not tainted 3.6.0-rc5+ #180 Bochs Bochs Process numactl (pid: 1219, threadinfo ffff880039abc000, task ffff8800383c4ce0) Call Trace: __pagevec_lru_add_fn+0xdf/0x140 pagevec_lru_move_fn+0xb1/0x100 __pagevec_lru_add+0x1c/0x30 lru_add_drain_cpu+0xa3/0x130 lru_add_drain+0x2f/0x40 ... The natural solution might be to use a memcg callback whenever memory is hotadded; but that solution has not been scoped out, and it happens that we do have an easy location at which to update lruvec->zone. The lruvec pointer is discovered either by mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() or by mem_cgroup_page_lruvec(), and both of those do know the right zone. So check and set lruvec->zone in those; and remove the inadequate attempt to set lruvec->zone from lruvec_init(), which is called before NODE_DATA(node) has been allocated in such cases. Ah, there was one exceptionr. For no particularly good reason, mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() has its own code for deciding lruvec. Change it to use the standard mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() and mem_cgroup_get_lru_size() too. In fact it was already safe against such an oops (the lru lists in danger could only be empty), but we're better proofed against future changes this way. I've marked this for stable (3.6) since we introduced the problem in 3.5 (now closed to stable); but I have no idea if this is the only fix needed to get memory hotadd working with memcg in 3.6, and received no answer when I enquired twice before.

CMA: migrate mlocked pages Presently CMA cannot migrate mlocked pages so it ends up failing to allocate contiguous memory space. This patch makes mlocked pages be migrated out. Of course, it can affect realtime processes but in CMA usecase, contiguous memory allocation failing is far worse than access latency to an mlocked page being variable while CMA is running. If someone wants to make the system realtime, he shouldn't enable CMA because stalls can still happen at random times.

memory-hotplug: fix zone stat mismatch During memory-hotplug, I found NR_ISOLATED_[ANON|FILE] are increasing, causing the kernel to hang. When the system doesn't have enough free pages, it enters reclaim but never reclaim any pages due to too_many_isolated()==true and loops forever. The cause is that when we do memory-hotadd after memory-remove, __zone_pcp_update() clears a zone's ZONE_STAT_ITEMS in setup_pageset() although the vm_stat_diff of all CPUs still have values. In addtion, when we offline all pages of the zone, we reset them in zone_pcp_reset without draining so we loss some zone stat item.

mm, numa: reclaim from all nodes within reclaim distance RECLAIM_DISTANCE represents the distance between nodes at which it is deemed too costly to allocate from; it's preferred to try to reclaim from a local zone before falling back to allocating on a remote node with such a distance. To do this, zone_reclaim_mode is set if the distance between any two nodes on the system is greather than this distance. This, however, ends up causing the page allocator to reclaim from every zone regardless of its affinity. What we really want is to reclaim only from zones that are closer than RECLAIM_DISTANCE. This patch adds a nodemask to each node that represents the set of nodes that are within this distance. During the zone iteration, if the bit for a zone's node is set for the local node, then reclaim is attempted; otherwise, the zone is skipped.

mm: fix-up zone present pages I think zone->present_pages indicates pages that buddy system can management, it should be: zone->present_pages = spanned pages - absent pages - bootmem pages, but is now: zone->present_pages = spanned pages - absent pages - memmap pages. spanned pages: total size, including holes. absent pages: holes. bootmem pages: pages used in system boot, managed by bootmem allocator. memmap pages: pages used by page structs. This may cause zone->present_pages less than it should be. For example, numa node 1 has ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE, it's memmap and other bootmem will be allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE, so ZONE_NORMAL's present_pages should be spanned pages - absent pages, but now it also minus memmap pages(free_area_init_core), which are actually allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE. When offlining all memory of a zone, this will cause zone->present_pages less than 0, because present_pages is unsigned long type, it is actually a very large integer, it indirectly caused zone->watermark[WMARK_MIN] becomes a large integer(setup_per_zone_wmarks()), than cause totalreserve_pages become a large integer(calculate_totalreserve_pages()), and finally cause memory allocating failure when fork process(__vm_enough_memory()). [root@localhost ~]# dmesg -bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory I think the bug described in http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=134502182714186&w=2 is also caused by wrong zone present pages.

mm: compaction: clear PG_migrate_skip based on compaction and reclaim activity Compaction caches if a pageblock was scanned and no pages were isolated so that the pageblocks can be skipped in the future to reduce scanning. This information is not cleared by the page allocator based on activity due to the impact it would have to the page allocator fast paths. Hence there is a requirement that something clear the cache or pageblocks will be skipped forever. Currently the cache is cleared if there were a number of recent allocation failures and it has not been cleared within the last 5 seconds. Time-based decisions like this are terrible as they have no relationship to VM activity and is basically a big hammer. Unfortunately, accurate heuristics would add cost to some hot paths so this patch implements a rough heuristic. There are two cases where the cache is cleared. 1. If a !kswapd process completes a compaction cycle (migrate and free scanner meet), the zone is marked compact_blockskip_flush. When kswapd goes to sleep, it will clear the cache. This is expected to be the common case where the cache is cleared. It does not really matter if kswapd happens to be asleep or going to sleep when the flag is set as it will be woken on the next allocation request. 2. If there have been multiple failures recently and compaction just finished being deferred then a process will clear the cache and start a full scan. This situation happens if there are multiple high-order allocation requests under heavy memory pressure. The clearing of the PG_migrate_skip bits and other scans is inherently racy but the race is harmless. For allocations that can fail such as THP, they will simply fail. For requests that cannot fail, they will retry the allocation. Tests indicated that scanning rates were roughly similar to when the time-based heuristic was used and the allocation success rates were similar.

mm: compaction: cache if a pageblock was scanned and no pages were isolated When compaction was implemented it was known that scanning could potentially be excessive. The ideal was that a counter be maintained for each pageblock but maintaining this information would incur a severe penalty due to a shared writable cache line. It has reached the point where the scanning costs are a serious problem, particularly on long-lived systems where a large process starts and allocates a large number of THPs at the same time. Instead of using a shared counter, this patch adds another bit to the pageblock flags called PG_migrate_skip. If a pageblock is scanned by either migrate or free scanner and 0 pages were isolated, the pageblock is marked to be skipped in the future. When scanning, this bit is checked before any scanning takes place and the block skipped if set. The main difficulty with a patch like this is "when to ignore the cached information?" If it's ignored too often, the scanning rates will still be excessive. If the information is too stale then allocations will fail that might have otherwise succeeded. In this patch o CMA always ignores the information o If the migrate and free scanner meet then the cached information will be discarded if it's at least 5 seconds since the last time the cache was discarded o If there are a large number of allocation failures, discard the cache. The time-based heuristic is very clumsy but there are few choices for a better event. Depending solely on multiple allocation failures still allows excessive scanning when THP allocations are failing in quick succession due to memory pressure. Waiting until memory pressure is relieved would cause compaction to continually fail instead of using reclaim/compaction to try allocate the page. The time-based mechanism is clumsy but a better option is not obvious.

memory-hotplug: fix pages missed by race rather than failing If race between allocation and isolation in memory-hotplug offline happens, some pages could be in MIGRATE_MOVABLE of free_list although the pageblock's migratetype of the page is MIGRATE_ISOLATE. The race could be detected by get_freepage_migratetype in __test_page_isolated_in_pageblock. If it is detected, now EBUSY gets bubbled all the way up and the hotplug operations fails. But better idea is instead of returning and failing memory-hotremove, move the free page to the correct list at the time it is detected. It could enhance memory-hotremove operation success ratio although the race is really rare. Suggested by Mel Gorman.

mm: cma: discard clean pages during contiguous allocation instead of migration Drop clean cache pages instead of migration during alloc_contig_range() to minimise allocation latency by reducing the amount of migration that is necessary. It's useful for CMA because latency of migration is more important than evicting the background process's working set. In addition, as pages are reclaimed then fewer free pages for migration targets are required so it avoids memory reclaiming to get free pages, which is a contributory factor to increased latency.

mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page immediately when it is made available While compaction is migrating pages to free up large contiguous blocks for allocation it races with other allocation requests that may steal these blocks or break them up. This patch alters direct compaction to capture a suitable free page as soon as it becomes available to reduce this race. It uses similar logic to split_free_page() to ensure that watermarks are still obeyed.

mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD When transparent huge pages were introduced, memory compaction and swap storms were an issue, and the kernel had to be careful to not make THP allocations cause pageout or compaction. Now that we have working compaction deferral, kswapd is smart enough to invoke compaction and the quadratic behaviour around isolate_free_pages has been fixed, it should be safe to remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD.

mm/page_alloc: fix the page address of higher page's buddy calculation The heuristic method for buddy has been introduced since commit 43506fad21ca ("mm/page_alloc.c: simplify calculation of combined index of adjacent buddy lists"). But the page address of higher page's buddy was wrongly calculated, which will lead page_is_buddy to fail for ever. IOW, the heuristic method would be disabled with the wrong page address of higher page's buddy. Calculating the page address of higher page's buddy should be based higher_page with the offset between index of higher page and index of higher page's buddy.

Arch code and memory hotplug already initiailize pg_data_t. So this warning should never happen. I select fields randomly near the beginning, middle and end of pg_data_t for checking. This patch isn't for performance but for removing initialization code which is necessary to add whenever we adds new field to pg_data_t or zone. Firstly, Andrew suggested clearing out of pg_data_t in MM core part but Tejun doesn't like it because in the future, some archs can initialize some fields in arch code and pass them into general MM part so blindly clearing it out in mm core part would be very annoying.

mm: throttle direct reclaimers if PF_MEMALLOC reserves are low and swap is backed by network storage If swap is backed by network storage such as NBD, there is a risk that a large number of reclaimers can hang the system by consuming all PF_MEMALLOC reserves. To avoid these hangs, the administrator must tune min_free_kbytes in advance which is a bit fragile. This patch throttles direct reclaimers if half the PF_MEMALLOC reserves are in use. If the system is routinely getting throttled the system administrator can increase min_free_kbytes so degradation is smoother but the system will keep running.

mm: ignore mempolicies when using ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK The reserve is proportionally distributed over all !highmem zones in the system. So we need to allow an emergency allocation access to all zones. In order to do that we need to break out of any mempolicy boundaries we might have. In my opinion that does not break mempolicies as those are user oriented and not system oriented. That is, system allocations are not guaranteed to be within mempolicy boundaries. For instance IRQs do not even have a mempolicy. So breaking out of mempolicy boundaries for 'rare' emergency allocations, which are always system allocations (as opposed to user) is ok.

mm: allow PF_MEMALLOC from softirq context This is needed to allow network softirq packet processing to make use of PF_MEMALLOC. Currently softirq context cannot use PF_MEMALLOC due to it not being associated with a task, and therefore not having task flags to fiddle with - thus the gfp to alloc flag mapping ignores the task flags when in interrupts (hard or soft) context. Allowing softirqs to make use of PF_MEMALLOC therefore requires some trickery. This patch borrows the task flags from whatever process happens to be preempted by the softirq. It then modifies the gfp to alloc flags mapping to not exclude task flags in softirq context, and modify the softirq code to save, clear and restore the PF_MEMALLOC flag. The save and clear, ensures the preempted task's PF_MEMALLOC flag doesn't leak into the softirq. The restore ensures a softirq's PF_MEMALLOC flag cannot leak back into the preempted process. This should be safe due to the following reasons Softirqs can run on multiple CPUs sure but the same task should not be executing the same softirq code. Neither should the softirq handler be preempted by any other softirq handler so the flags should not leak to an unrelated softirq. Softirqs re-enable hardware interrupts in __do_softirq() so can be preempted by hardware interrupts so PF_MEMALLOC is inherited by the hard IRQ. However, this is similar to a process in reclaim being preempted by a hardirq. While PF_MEMALLOC is set, gfp_to_alloc_flags() distinguishes between hard and soft irqs and avoids giving a hardirq the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS flag. If the softirq is deferred to ksoftirq then its flags may be used instead of a normal tasks but as the softirq cannot be preempted, the PF_MEMALLOC flag does not leak to other code by accident.

mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages When a user or administrator requires swap for their application, they create a swap partition and file, format it with mkswap and activate it with swapon. Swap over the network is considered as an option in diskless systems. The two likely scenarios are when blade servers are used as part of a cluster where the form factor or maintenance costs do not allow the use of disks and thin clients. The Linux Terminal Server Project recommends the use of the Network Block Device (NBD) for swap according to the manual at https://sourceforge.net/projects/ltsp/files/Docs-Admin-Guide/LTSPManual.pdf/download There is also documentation and tutorials on how to setup swap over NBD at places like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/EnableNBDSWAP The nbd-client also documents the use of NBD as swap. Despite this, the fact is that a machine using NBD for swap can deadlock within minutes if swap is used intensively. This patch series addresses the problem. The core issue is that network block devices do not use mempools like normal block devices do. As the host cannot control where they receive packets from, they cannot reliably work out in advance how much memory they might need. Some years ago, Peter Zijlstra developed a series of patches that supported swap over an NFS that at least one distribution is carrying within their kernels. This patch series borrows very heavily from Peter's work to support swapping over NBD as a pre-requisite to supporting swap-over-NFS. The bulk of the complexity is concerned with preserving memory that is allocated from the PFMEMALLOC reserves for use by the network layer which is needed for both NBD and NFS. Patch 1 adds knowledge of the PFMEMALLOC reserves to SLAB and SLUB to preserve access to pages allocated under low memory situations to callers that are freeing memory. Patch 2 optimises the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc checks Patch 3 introduces __GFP_MEMALLOC to allow access to the PFMEMALLOC reserves without setting PFMEMALLOC. Patch 4 opens the possibility for softirqs to use PFMEMALLOC reserves for later use by network packet processing. Patch 5 only sets page->pfmemalloc when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS was required Patch 6 ignores memory policies when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS is set. Patches 7-12 allows network processing to use PFMEMALLOC reserves when the socket has been marked as being used by the VM to clean pages. If packets are received and stored in pages that were allocated under low-memory situations and are unrelated to the VM, the packets are dropped. Patch 11 reintroduces __skb_alloc_page which the networking folk may object to but is needed in some cases to propogate pfmemalloc from a newly allocated page to an skb. If there is a strong objection, this patch can be dropped with the impact being that swap-over-network will be slower in some cases but it should not fail. Patch 13 is a micro-optimisation to avoid a function call in the common case. Patch 14 tags NBD sockets as being SOCK_MEMALLOC so they can use PFMEMALLOC if necessary. Patch 15 notes that it is still possible for the PFMEMALLOC reserve to be depleted. To prevent this, direct reclaimers get throttled on a waitqueue if 50% of the PFMEMALLOC reserves are depleted. It is expected that kswapd and the direct reclaimers already running will clean enough pages for the low watermark to be reached and the throttled processes are woken up. Patch 16 adds a statistic to track how often processes get throttled Some basic performance testing was run using kernel builds, netperf on loopback for UDP and TCP, hackbench (pipes and sockets), iozone and sysbench. Each of them were expected to use the sl*b allocators reasonably heavily but there did not appear to be significant performance variances. For testing swap-over-NBD, a machine was booted with 2G of RAM with a swapfile backed by NBD. 8*NUM_CPU processes were started that create anonymous memory mappings and read them linearly in a loop. The total size of the mappings were 4*PHYSICAL_MEMORY to use swap heavily under memory pressure. Without the patches and using SLUB, the machine locks up within minutes and runs to completion with them applied. With SLAB, the story is different as an unpatched kernel run to completion. However, the patched kernel completed the test 45% faster. MICRO 3.5.0-rc2 3.5.0-rc2 vanilla swapnbd Unrecognised test vmscan-anon-mmap-write MMTests Statistics: duration Sys Time Running Test (seconds) 197.80 173.07 User+Sys Time Running Test (seconds) 206.96 182.03 Total Elapsed Time (seconds) 3240.70 1762.09 This patch: mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages Allocations of pages below the min watermark run a risk of the machine hanging due to a lack of memory. To prevent this, only callers who have PF_MEMALLOC or TIF_MEMDIE set and are not processing an interrupt are allowed to allocate with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS. Once they are allocated to a slab though, nothing prevents other callers consuming free objects within those slabs. This patch limits access to slab pages that were alloced from the PFMEMALLOC reserves. When this patch is applied, pages allocated from below the low watermark are returned with page->pfmemalloc set and it is up to the caller to determine how the page should be protected. SLAB restricts access to any page with page->pfmemalloc set to callers which are known to able to access the PFMEMALLOC reserve. If one is not available, an attempt is made to allocate a new page rather than use a reserve. SLUB is a bit more relaxed in that it only records if the current per-CPU page was allocated from PFMEMALLOC reserve and uses another partial slab if the caller does not have the necessary GFP or process flags. This was found to be sufficient in tests to avoid hangs due to SLUB generally maintaining smaller lists than SLAB. In low-memory conditions it does mean that !PFMEMALLOC allocators can fail a slab allocation even though free objects are available because they are being preserved for callers that are freeing pages.

memory-hotplug: fix kswapd looping forever problem When hotplug offlining happens on zone A, it starts to mark freed page as MIGRATE_ISOLATE type in buddy for preventing further allocation. (MIGRATE_ISOLATE is very irony type because it's apparently on buddy but we can't allocate them). When the memory shortage happens during hotplug offlining, current task starts to reclaim, then wake up kswapd. Kswapd checks watermark, then go sleep because current zone_watermark_ok_safe doesn't consider MIGRATE_ISOLATE freed page count. Current task continue to reclaim in direct reclaim path without kswapd's helping. The problem is that zone->all_unreclaimable is set by only kswapd so that current task would be looping forever like below. __alloc_pages_slowpath restart: wake_all_kswapd rebalance: __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim do_try_to_free_pages if global_reclaim && !all_unreclaimable return 1; /* It means we did did_some_progress */ skip __alloc_pages_may_oom should_alloc_retry goto rebalance; If we apply KOSAKI's patch[1] which doesn't depends on kswapd about setting zone->all_unreclaimable, we can solve this problem by killing some task in direct reclaim path. But it doesn't wake up kswapd, still. It could be a problem still if other subsystem needs GFP_ATOMIC request. So kswapd should consider MIGRATE_ISOLATE when it calculate free pages BEFORE going sleep. This patch counts the number of MIGRATE_ISOLATE page block and zone_watermark_ok_safe will consider it if the system has such blocks (fortunately, it's very rare so no problem in POV overhead and kswapd is never hotpath). Copy/modify from Mel's quote " Ideal solution would be "allocating" the pageblock. It would keep the free space accounting as it is but historically, memory hotplug didn't allocate pages because it would be difficult to detect if a pageblock was isolated or if part of some balloon. Allocating just full pageblocks would work around this, However, it would play very badly with CMA.

mm: fix free page check in zone_watermark_ok() __zone_watermark_ok currently compares free_pages which is a signed type with z->lowmem_reserve[classzone_idx] which is unsigned which might lead to sign overflow if free_pages doesn't satisfy the given order (or it came as negative already) and then we rely on the following order loop to fix it (which doesn't work for order-0). Let's fix the type conversion and do not rely on the given value of free_pages or follow up fixups. This patch fixes it because "memory-hotplug: fix kswapd looping forever problem" depends on this. As benefit of this patch, it doesn't rely on the loop to exit __zone_watermark_ok in case of high order check and make the first test effective.(ie, if (free_pages <= min + lowmem_reserve)) Aaditya reported this problem when he test my hotplug patch.

mm/hotplug: correctly setup fallback zonelists when creating new pgdat When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called to create new pgdat for a new node, a fallback zonelist should be created for the new node. There's code to try to achieve that in hotadd_new_pgdat() as below: /* * The node we allocated has no zone fallback lists. For avoiding * to access not-initialized zonelist, build here. */ mutex_lock(&zonelists_mutex); build_all_zonelists(pgdat, NULL); mutex_unlock(&zonelists_mutex); But it doesn't work as expected. When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called, the new node is still in offline state because node_set_online(nid) hasn't been called yet. And build_all_zonelists() only builds zonelists for online nodes as: for_each_online_node(nid) { pg_data_t *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid); build_zonelists(pgdat); build_zonelist_cache(pgdat); } Though we hope to create zonelist for the new pgdat, but it doesn't. So add a new parameter "pgdat" the build_all_zonelists() to build pgdat for the new pgdat too.

mm: setup pageblock_order before it's used by sparsemem On architectures with CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE set, such as Itanium, pageblock_order is a variable with default value of 0. It's set to the right value by set_pageblock_order() in function free_area_init_core(). But pageblock_order may be used by sparse_init() before free_area_init_core() is called along path: sparse_init() ->sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_node() ->usemap_size() ->SECTION_BLOCKFLAGS_BITS ->((1UL << (PFN_SECTION_SHIFT - pageblock_order)) * NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS) The uninitialized pageblock_size will cause memory wasting because usemap_size() returns a much bigger value then it's really needed. For example, on an Itanium platform, sparse_init() pageblock_order=0 usemap_size=24576 free_area_init_core() before pageblock_order=0, usemap_size=24576 free_area_init_core() after pageblock_order=12, usemap_size=8 That means 24K memory has been wasted for each section, so fix it by calling set_pageblock_order() from sparse_init().

mm: have order > 0 compaction start off where it left Order > 0 compaction stops when enough free pages of the correct page order have been coalesced. When doing subsequent higher order allocations, it is possible for compaction to be invoked many times. However, the compaction code always starts out looking for things to compact at the start of the zone, and for free pages to compact things to at the end of the zone. This can cause quadratic behaviour, with isolate_freepages starting at the end of the zone each time, even though previous invocations of the compaction code already filled up all free memory on that end of the zone. This can cause isolate_freepages to take enormous amounts of CPU with certain workloads on larger memory systems. The obvious solution is to have isolate_freepages remember where it left off last time, and continue at that point the next time it gets invoked for an order > 0 compaction. This could cause compaction to fail if cc->free_pfn and cc->migrate_pfn are close together initially, in that case we restart from the end of the zone and try once more. Forced full (order == -1) compactions are left alone.

Revert "mm: compaction: handle incorrect MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE type pageblocks" This reverts commit 5ceb9ce6fe9462a298bb2cd5c9f1ca6cb80a0199. That commit seems to be the cause of the mm compation list corruption issues that Dave Jones reported. The locking (or rather, absense there-of) is dubious, as is the use of the 'page' variable once it has been found to be outside the pageblock range. So revert it for now, we can re-visit this for 3.6. If we even need to: as Minchan Kim says, "The patch wasn't a bug fix and even test workload was very theoretical".

mm: compaction: handle incorrect MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE type pageblocks When MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pages are freed from MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE type pageblock (and some MIGRATE_MOVABLE pages are left in it) waiting until an allocation takes ownership of the block may take too long. The type of the pageblock remains unchanged so the pageblock cannot be used as a migration target during compaction. Fix it by: * Adding enum compact_mode (COMPACT_ASYNC_[MOVABLE,UNMOVABLE], and COMPACT_SYNC) and then converting sync field in struct compact_control to use it. * Adding nr_pageblocks_skipped field to struct compact_control and tracking how many destination pageblocks were of MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE type. If COMPACT_ASYNC_MOVABLE mode compaction ran fully in try_to_compact_pages() (COMPACT_COMPLETE) it implies that there is not a suitable page for allocation. In this case then check how if there were enough MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pageblocks to try a second pass in COMPACT_ASYNC_UNMOVABLE mode. * Scanning the MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pageblocks (during COMPACT_SYNC and COMPACT_ASYNC_UNMOVABLE compaction modes) and building a count based on finding PageBuddy pages, page_count(page) == 0 or PageLRU pages. If all pages within the MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pageblock are in one of those three sets change the whole pageblock type to MIGRATE_MOVABLE. My particular test case (on a ARM EXYNOS4 device with 512 MiB, which means 131072 standard 4KiB pages in 'Normal' zone) is to: - allocate 120000 pages for kernel's usage - free every second page (60000 pages) of memory just allocated - allocate and use 60000 pages from user space - free remaining 60000 pages of kernel memory (now we have fragmented memory occupied mostly by user space pages) - try to allocate 100 order-9 (2048 KiB) pages for kernel's usage The results: - with compaction disabled I get 11 successful allocations - with compaction enabled - 14 successful allocations - with this patch I'm able to get all 100 successful allocations NOTE: If we can make kswapd aware of order-0 request during compaction, we can enhance kswapd with changing mode to COMPACT_ASYNC_FULL (COMPACT_ASYNC_MOVABLE + COMPACT_ASYNC_UNMOVABLE).

This bug was hidden because one version of set_pageblock_order() was a macro which doesn't evaluate its argument. Simplify it all and remove pageblock_default_order() altogether.

mm: add a low limit to alloc_large_system_hash UDP stack needs a minimum hash size value for proper operation and also uses alloc_large_system_hash() for proper NUMA distribution of its hash tables and automatic sizing depending on available system memory. On some low memory situations, udp_table_init() must ignore the alloc_large_system_hash() result and reallocs a bigger memory area. As we cannot easily free old hash table, we leak it and kmemleak can issue a warning. This patch adds a low limit parameter to alloc_large_system_hash() to solve this problem. We then specify UDP_HTABLE_SIZE_MIN for UDP/UDPLite hash table allocation.

mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added The MIGRATE_CMA migration type has two main characteristics: (i) only movable pages can be allocated from MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks and (ii) page allocator will never change migration type of MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks. This guarantees (to some degree) that page in a MIGRATE_CMA page block can always be migrated somewhere else (unless there's no memory left in the system). It is designed to be used for allocating big chunks (eg. 10MiB) of physically contiguous memory. Once driver requests contiguous memory, pages from MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks may be migrated away to create a contiguous block. To minimise number of migrations, MIGRATE_CMA migration type is the last type tried when page allocator falls back to other migration types when requested.

It perturbed a test, so I've just been bisecting linux-next, and now find the offender went upstream yesterday. Commit 93278814d359 "mm: fix division by 0 in percpu_pagelist_fraction()" mistakenly initialized percpu_pagelist_fraction to the sysctl's minimum 8, which leaves 1/8th of memory on percpu lists (on each cpu??); but most of us expect it to be left unset at 0 (and it's not then used as a divisor).

mm: only IPI CPUs to drain local pages if they exist Calculate a cpumask of CPUs with per-cpu pages in any zone and only send an IPI requesting CPUs to drain these pages to the buddy allocator if they actually have pages when asked to flush. This patch saves 85%+ of IPIs asking to drain per-cpu pages in case of severe memory pressure that leads to OOM since in these cases multiple, possibly concurrent, allocation requests end up in the direct reclaim code path so when the per-cpu pages end up reclaimed on first allocation failure for most of the proceeding allocation attempts until the memory pressure is off (possibly via the OOM killer) there are no per-cpu pages on most CPUs (and there can easily be hundreds of them). This also has the side effect of shortening the average latency of direct reclaim by 1 or more order of magnitude since waiting for all the CPUs to ACK the IPI takes a long time. Tested by running "hackbench 400" on a 8 CPU x86 VM and observing the difference between the number of direct reclaim attempts that end up in drain_all_pages() and those were more then 1/2 of the online CPU had any per-cpu page in them, using the vmstat counters introduced in the next patch in the series and using proc/interrupts. In the test sceanrio, this was seen to save around 3600 global IPIs after trigerring an OOM on a concurrent workload: $ cat /proc/vmstat | tail -n 2 pcp_global_drain 0 pcp_global_ipi_saved 0 $ cat /proc/interrupts | grep CAL CAL: 1 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 Function call interrupts $ hackbench 400 [OOM messages snipped] $ cat /proc/vmstat | tail -n 2 pcp_global_drain 3647 pcp_global_ipi_saved 3642 $ cat /proc/interrupts | grep CAL CAL: 6 13 6 3 3 3 1 2 7 Function call interrupts Please note that if the global drain is removed from the direct reclaim path as a patch from Mel Gorman currently suggests this should be replaced with an on_each_cpu_cond invocation.

mm, coredump: fail allocations when coredumping instead of oom killing The size of coredump files is limited by RLIMIT_CORE, however, allocating large amounts of memory results in three negative consequences: - the coredumping process may be chosen for oom kill and quickly deplete all memory reserves in oom conditions preventing further progress from being made or tasks from exiting, - the coredumping process may cause other processes to be oom killed without fault of their own as the result of a SIGSEGV, for example, in the coredumping process, or - the coredumping process may result in a livelock while writing to the dump file if it needs memory to allocate while other threads are in the exit path waiting on the coredumper to complete. This is fixed by implying __GFP_NORETRY in the page allocator for coredumping processes when reclaim has failed so the allocations fail and the process continues to exit.

cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3 Commit c0ff7453bb5c ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit. [get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory barriers inserted into a number of hot paths. This was detected while investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time after 2.6.32. The largest portion of this overhead was shown by oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page allocator hot path. For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex. This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path side. This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86. The main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a manner that can cause a false failure. While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure is a risk. If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place. In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from __alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%. The actual results were 3.3.0-rc3 3.3.0-rc3 rc3-vanilla nobarrier-v2r1 Clients 1 UserTime 0.07 ( 0.00%) 0.08 (-14.19%) Clients 2 UserTime 0.07 ( 0.00%) 0.07 ( 2.72%) Clients 4 UserTime 0.08 ( 0.00%) 0.07 ( 3.29%) Clients 1 SysTime 0.70 ( 0.00%) 0.65 ( 6.65%) Clients 2 SysTime 0.85 ( 0.00%) 0.82 ( 3.65%) Clients 4 SysTime 1.41 ( 0.00%) 1.41 ( 0.32%) Clients 1 WallTime 0.77 ( 0.00%) 0.74 ( 4.19%) Clients 2 WallTime 0.47 ( 0.00%) 0.45 ( 3.73%) Clients 4 WallTime 0.38 ( 0.00%) 0.37 ( 1.58%) Clients 1 Flt/sec/cpu 497620.28 ( 0.00%) 520294.53 ( 4.56%) Clients 2 Flt/sec/cpu 414639.05 ( 0.00%) 429882.01 ( 3.68%) Clients 4 Flt/sec/cpu 257959.16 ( 0.00%) 258761.48 ( 0.31%) Clients 1 Flt/sec 495161.39 ( 0.00%) 517292.87 ( 4.47%) Clients 2 Flt/sec 820325.95 ( 0.00%) 850289.77 ( 3.65%) Clients 4 Flt/sec 1020068.93 ( 0.00%) 1022674.06 ( 0.26%) MMTests Statistics: duration Sys Time Running Test (seconds) 135.68 132.17 User+Sys Time Running Test (seconds) 164.2 160.13 Total Elapsed Time (seconds) 123.46 120.87 The overall improvement is small but the System CPU time is much improved and roughly in correlation to what oprofile reported (these performance figures are without profiling so skew is expected). The actual number of page faults is noticeably improved. For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but the system CPU time is slightly reduced. To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals. The first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that faulted 100M of anonymous data. In a second window, the nodemask of the cpuset was continually randomised in a loop. Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine. With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be functionally equivalent.

mm, oom: force oom kill on sysrq+f The oom killer chooses not to kill a thread if: - an eligible thread has already been oom killed and has yet to exit, and - an eligible thread is exiting but has yet to free all its memory and is not the thread attempting to currently allocate memory. SysRq+F manually invokes the global oom killer to kill a memory-hogging task. This is normally done as a last resort to free memory when no progress is being made or to test the oom killer itself. For both uses, we always want to kill a thread and never defer. This patch causes SysRq+F to always kill an eligible thread and can be used to force a kill even if another oom killed thread has failed to exit.

mm: fix NULL ptr dereference in __count_immobile_pages Fix the following NULL ptr dereference caused by cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory0/removable Pid: 13979, comm: sed Not tainted 3.0.13-0.5-default #1 IBM BladeCenter LS21 -[7971PAM]-/Server Blade RIP: __count_immobile_pages+0x4/0x100 Process sed (pid: 13979, threadinfo ffff880221c36000, task ffff88022e788480) Call Trace: is_pageblock_removable_nolock+0x34/0x40 is_mem_section_removable+0x74/0xf0 show_mem_removable+0x41/0x70 sysfs_read_file+0xfe/0x1c0 vfs_read+0xc7/0x130 sys_read+0x53/0xa0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b We are crashing because we are trying to dereference NULL zone which came from pfn=0 (struct page ffffea0000000000). According to the boot log this page is marked reserved: e820 update range: 0000000000000000 - 0000000000010000 (usable) ==> (reserved) and early_node_map confirms that: early_node_map[3] active PFN ranges 1: 0x00000010 -> 0x0000009c 1: 0x00000100 -> 0x000bffa3 1: 0x00100000 -> 0x00240000 The problem is that memory_present works in PAGE_SECTION_MASK aligned blocks so the reserved range sneaks into the the section as well. This also means that free_area_init_node will not take care of those reserved pages and they stay uninitialized. When we try to read the removable status we walk through all available sections and hope that the zone is valid for all pages in the section. But this is not true in this case as the zone and nid are not initialized. We have only one node in this particular case and it is marked as node=1 (rather than 0) and that made the problem visible because page_to_nid will return 0 and there are no zones on the node. Let's check that the zone is valid and that the given pfn falls into its boundaries and mark the section not removable. This might cause some false positives, probably, but we do not have any sane way to find out whether the page is reserved by the platform or it is just not used for whatever other reasons.

mm: page allocator: do not call direct reclaim for THP allocations while compaction is deferred If compaction is deferred, direct reclaim is used to try to free enough pages for the allocation to succeed. For small high-orders, this has a reasonable chance of success. However, if the caller has specified __GFP_NO_KSWAPD to limit the disruption to the system, it makes more sense to fail the allocation rather than stall the caller in direct reclaim. This patch skips direct reclaim if compaction is deferred and the caller specifies __GFP_NO_KSWAPD. Async compaction only considers a subset of pages so it is possible for compaction to be deferred prematurely and not enter direct reclaim even in cases where it should. To compensate for this, this patch also defers compaction only if sync compaction failed.

mm: try to distribute dirty pages fairly across zones The maximum number of dirty pages that exist in the system at any time is determined by a number of pages considered dirtyable and a user-configured percentage of those, or an absolute number in bytes. This number of dirtyable pages is the sum of memory provided by all the zones in the system minus their lowmem reserves and high watermarks, so that the system can retain a healthy number of free pages without having to reclaim dirty pages. But there is a flaw in that we have a zoned page allocator which does not care about the global state but rather the state of individual memory zones. And right now there is nothing that prevents one zone from filling up with dirty pages while other zones are spared, which frequently leads to situations where kswapd, in order to restore the watermark of free pages, does indeed have to write pages from that zone's LRU list. This can interfere so badly with IO from the flusher threads that major filesystems (btrfs, xfs, ext4) mostly ignore write requests from reclaim already, taking away the VM's only possibility to keep such a zone balanced, aside from hoping the flushers will soon clean pages from that zone. Enter per-zone dirty limits. They are to a zone's dirtyable memory what the global limit is to the global amount of dirtyable memory, and try to make sure that no single zone receives more than its fair share of the globally allowed dirty pages in the first place. As the number of pages considered dirtyable excludes the zones' lowmem reserves and high watermarks, the maximum number of dirty pages in a zone is such that the zone can always be balanced without requiring page cleaning. As this is a placement decision in the page allocator and pages are dirtied only after the allocation, this patch allows allocators to pass __GFP_WRITE when they know in advance that the page will be written to and become dirty soon. The page allocator will then attempt to allocate from the first zone of the zonelist - which on NUMA is determined by the task's NUMA memory policy - that has not exceeded its dirty limit. At first glance, it would appear that the diversion to lower zones can increase pressure on them, but this is not the case. With a full high zone, allocations will be diverted to lower zones eventually, so it is more of a shift in timing of the lower zone allocations. Workloads that previously could fit their dirty pages completely in the higher zone may be forced to allocate from lower zones, but the amount of pages that "spill over" are limited themselves by the lower zones' dirty constraints, and thus unlikely to become a problem. For now, the problem of unfair dirty page distribution remains for NUMA configurations where the zones allowed for allocation are in sum not big enough to trigger the global dirty limits, wake up the flusher threads and remedy the situation. Because of this, an allocation that could not succeed on any of the considered zones is allowed to ignore the dirty limits before going into direct reclaim or even failing the allocation, until a future patch changes the global dirty throttling and flusher thread activation so that they take individual zone states into account.

mm: exclude reserved pages from dirtyable memory Per-zone dirty limits try to distribute page cache pages allocated for writing across zones in proportion to the individual zone sizes, to reduce the likelihood of reclaim having to write back individual pages from the LRU lists in order to make progress. This patch: The amount of dirtyable pages should not include the full number of free pages: there is a number of reserved pages that the page allocator and kswapd always try to keep free. The closer (reclaimable pages - dirty pages) is to the number of reserved pages, the more likely it becomes for reclaim to run into dirty pages: +----------+ --- | anon | | +----------+ | | | | | | -- dirty limit new -- flusher new | file | | | | | | | | | -- dirty limit old -- flusher old | | | +----------+ --- reclaim | reserved | +----------+ | kernel | +----------+ This patch introduces a per-zone dirty reserve that takes both the lowmem reserve as well as the high watermark of the zone into account, and a global sum of those per-zone values that is subtracted from the global amount of dirtyable pages. The lowmem reserve is unavailable to page cache allocations and kswapd tries to keep the high watermark free. We don't want to end up in a situation where reclaim has to clean pages in order to balance zones. Not treating reserved pages as dirtyable on a global level is only a conceptual fix. In reality, dirty pages are not distributed equally across zones and reclaim runs into dirty pages on a regular basis. But it is important to get this right before tackling the problem on a per-zone level, where the distance between reclaim and the dirty pages is mostly much smaller in absolute numbers.

mm: more intensive memory corruption debugging With CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured, the CPU will generate an exception on access (read,write) to an unallocated page, which permits us to catch code which corrupts memory. However the kernel is trying to maximise memory usage, hence there are usually few free pages in the system and buggy code usually corrupts some crucial data. This patch changes the buddy allocator to keep more free/protected pages and to interlace free/protected and allocated pages to increase the probability of catching corruption. When the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, debug_guardpage_minorder defines the minimum order used by the page allocator to grant a request. The requested size will be returned with the remaining pages used as guard pages. The default value of debug_guardpage_minorder is zero: no change from current behaviour.

mm: avoid livelock on !__GFP_FS allocations Colin Cross reported; Under the following conditions, __alloc_pages_slowpath can loop forever: gfp_mask & __GFP_WAIT is true gfp_mask & __GFP_FS is false reclaim and compaction make no progress order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER These conditions happen very often during suspend and resume, when pm_restrict_gfp_mask() effectively converts all GFP_KERNEL allocations into __GFP_WAIT. The oom killer is not run because gfp_mask & __GFP_FS is false, but should_alloc_retry will always return true when order is less than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. In his fix, he avoided retrying the allocation if reclaim made no progress and __GFP_FS was not set. The problem is that this would result in GFP_NOIO allocations failing that previously succeeded which would be very unfortunate. The big difference between GFP_NOIO and suspend converting GFP_KERNEL to behave like GFP_NOIO is that normally flushers will be cleaning pages and kswapd reclaims pages allowing GFP_NOIO to succeed after a short delay. The same does not necessarily apply during suspend as the storage device may be suspended. This patch special cases the suspend case to fail the page allocation if reclaim cannot make progress and adds some documentation on how gfp_allowed_mask is currently used. Failing allocations like this may cause suspend to abort but that is better than a livelock.

Ordinarily, this work is unnoticable as it happens early in boot but on large machines with 1TB of memory, this has been reported to delay boot times, probably due to the NUMA distances involved. The bulk of the work is due to calling calling pageblock_is_reserved() an unnecessary amount of times and accessing far more struct page metadata than is necessary.

thp: set compound tail page _count to zero Commit 70b50f94f1644 ("mm: thp: tail page refcounting fix") keeps all page_tail->_count zero at all times. But the current kernel does not set page_tail->_count to zero if a 1GB page is utilized. So when an IOMMU 1GB page is used by KVM, it wil result in a kernel oops because a tail page's _count does not equal zero. kernel BUG at include/linux/mm.h:386! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Call Trace: gup_pud_range+0xb8/0x19d get_user_pages_fast+0xcb/0x192 ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xd/0xf hva_to_pfn+0x119/0x2f2 gfn_to_pfn_memslot+0x2c/0x2e kvm_iommu_map_pages+0xfd/0x1c1 kvm_iommu_map_memslots+0x7c/0xbd kvm_iommu_map_guest+0xaa/0xbf kvm_vm_ioctl_assigned_device+0x2ef/0xa47 kvm_vm_ioctl+0x36c/0x3a2 do_vfs_ioctl+0x49e/0x4e4 sys_ioctl+0x5a/0x7c system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b RIP gup_huge_pud+0xf2/0x159 Signed-off-by: Youquan Song <youquan.song@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

memblock: Kill early_node_map[] Now all ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP archs select HAVE_MEBLOCK_NODE_MAP - there's no user of early_node_map[] left. Kill early_node_map[] and replace ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP with HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP. Also, relocate for_each_mem_pfn_range() and helper from mm.h to memblock.h as page_alloc.c would no longer host an alternative implementation. This change is ultimately one to one mapping and shouldn't cause any observable difference; however, after the recent changes, there are some functions which now would fit memblock.c better than page_alloc.c and dependency on HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP instead of HAVE_MEMBLOCK doesn't make much sense on some of them. Further cleanups for functions inside HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP in mm.h would be nice. -v2: Fix compile bug introduced by mis-spelling CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP to CONFIG_MEMBLOCK_HAVE_NODE_MAP in mmzone.h.

fault-injection: add ability to export fault_attr in arbitrary directory init_fault_attr_dentries() is used to export fault_attr via debugfs. But it can only export it in debugfs root directory. Per Forlin is working on mmc_fail_request which adds support to inject data errors after a completed host transfer in MMC subsystem. The fault_attr for mmc_fail_request should be defined per mmc host and export it in debugfs directory per mmc host like /sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/mmc_fail_request. init_fault_attr_dentries() doesn't help for mmc_fail_request. So this introduces fault_create_debugfs_attr() which is able to create a directory in the arbitrary directory and replace init_fault_attr_dentries().

mm: page allocator: initialise ZLC for first zone eligible for zone_reclaim There have been a small number of complaints about significant stalls while copying large amounts of data on NUMA machines reported on a distribution bugzilla. In these cases, zone_reclaim was enabled by default due to large NUMA distances. In general, the complaints have not been about the workload itself unless it was a file server (in which case the recommendation was disable zone_reclaim). The stalls are mostly due to significant amounts of time spent scanning the preferred zone for pages to free. After a failure, it might fallback to another node (as zonelists are often node-ordered rather than zone-ordered) but stall quickly again when the next allocation attempt occurs. In bad cases, each page allocated results in a full scan of the preferred zone. Patch 1 checks the preferred zone for recent allocation failure which is particularly important if zone_reclaim has failed recently. This avoids rescanning the zone in the near future and instead falling back to another node. This may hurt node locality in some cases but a failure to zone_reclaim is more expensive than a remote access. Patch 2 clears the zlc information after direct reclaim. Otherwise, zone_reclaim can mark zones full, direct reclaim can reclaim enough pages but the zone is still not considered for allocation. This was tested on a 24-thread 2-node x86_64 machine. The tests were focused on large amounts of IO. All tests were bound to the CPUs on node-0 to avoid disturbances due to processes being scheduled on different nodes.

Time to completion is reduced. The number of pages scanned directly is still disturbingly high with a low efficiency but this is likely due to the number of dirty pages encountered. The figures could probably be improved with more work around how kswapd is used and how dirty pages are handled but that is separate work and this result is significant on its own.

Time to completion is again reduced. The gains are mostly down to two things. In many cases, there is less scanning as zone_reclaim simply gives up faster due to recent failures. The second reason is that memory is used more efficiently. Instead of scanning the preferred zone every time, the allocator falls back to another zone and uses it instead improving overall memory utilisation. This patch: initialise ZLC for first zone eligible for zone_reclaim. The zonelist cache (ZLC) is used among other things to record if zone_reclaim() failed for a particular zone recently. The intention is to avoid a high cost scanning extremely long zonelists or scanning within the zone uselessly. Currently the zonelist cache is setup only after the first zone has been considered and zone_reclaim() has been called. The objective was to avoid a costly setup but zone_reclaim is itself quite expensive. If it is failing regularly such as the first eligible zone having mostly mapped pages, the cost in scanning and allocation stalls is far higher than the ZLC initialisation step. This patch initialises ZLC before the first eligible zone calls zone_reclaim(). Once initialised, it is checked whether the zone failed zone_reclaim recently. If it has, the zone is skipped. As the first zone is now being checked, additional care has to be taken about zones marked full. A zone can be marked "full" because it should not have enough unmapped pages for zone_reclaim but this is excessive as direct reclaim or kswapd may succeed where zone_reclaim fails. Only mark zones "full" after zone_reclaim fails if it failed to reclaim enough pages after scanning.

When MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is enabled, early_node_map[], related data structures and functions to manipulate and iterate it are disabled. memblock version of __next_mem_pfn_range() is provided such that for_each_mem_pfn_range() behaves the same and its users don't have to be updated. -v2: Yinghai spotted section mismatch caused by missing __init_memblock in memblock_set_node().

x86, numa: Implement pfn -> nid mapping granularity check SPARSEMEM w/o VMEMMAP and DISCONTIGMEM, both used only on 32bit, use sections array to map pfn to nid which is limited in granularity. If NUMA nodes are laid out such that the mapping cannot be accurate, boot will fail triggering BUG_ON() in mminit_verify_page_links(). On 32bit, it's 512MiB w/ PAE and SPARSEMEM. This seems to have been granular enough until commit 2706a0bf7b (x86, NUMA: Enable CONFIG_AMD_NUMA on 32bit too). Apparently, there is a machine which aligns NUMA nodes to 128MiB and has only AMD NUMA but not SRAT. This led to the following BUG_ON().

Revert "mm: fail GFP_DMA allocations when ZONE_DMA is not configured" This reverts commit a197b59ae6e8bee56fcef37ea2482dc08414e2ac. As rmk says: "Commit a197b59ae6e8 (mm: fail GFP_DMA allocations when ZONE_DMA is not configured) is causing regressions on ARM with various drivers which use GFP_DMA. The behaviour up until now has been to silently ignore that flag when CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is not enabled, and to allocate from the normal zone. However, as a result of the above commit, such allocations now fail which causes drivers to fail. These are regressions compared to the previous kernel version." so just revert it.

memcg: fix get_scan_count() for small targets During memory reclaim we determine the number of pages to be scanned per zone as (anon + file) >> priority. Assume scan = (anon + file) >> priority. If scan < SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, the scan will be skipped for this time and priority gets higher. This has some problems. 1. This increases priority as 1 without any scan. To do scan in this priority, amount of pages should be larger than 512M. If pages>>priority < SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, it's recorded and scan will be batched, later. (But we lose 1 priority.) If memory size is below 16M, pages >> priority is 0 and no scan in DEF_PRIORITY forever. 2. If zone->all_unreclaimabe==true, it's scanned only when priority==0. So, x86's ZONE_DMA will never be recoverred until the user of pages frees memory by itself. 3. With memcg, the limit of memory can be small. When using small memcg, it gets priority < DEF_PRIORITY-2 very easily and need to call wait_iff_congested(). For doing scan before priorty=9, 64MB of memory should be used. Then, this patch tries to scan SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX of pages in force...when 1. the target is enough small. 2. it's kswapd or memcg reclaim. Then we can avoid rapid priority drop and may be able to recover all_unreclaimable in a small zones. And this patch removes nr_saved_scan. This will allow scanning in this priority even when pages >> priority is very small.

mm/page_alloc.c: prevent unending loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath() I believe I found a problem in __alloc_pages_slowpath, which allows a process to get stuck endlessly looping, even when lots of memory is available. Running an I/O and memory intensive stress-test I see a 0-order page allocation with __GFP_IO and __GFP_WAIT, running on a system with very little free memory. Right about the same time that the stress-test gets killed by the OOM-killer, the utility trying to allocate memory gets stuck in __alloc_pages_slowpath even though most of the systems memory was freed by the oom-kill of the stress-test. The utility ends up looping from the rebalance label down through the wait_iff_congested continiously. Because order=0, __alloc_pages_direct_compact skips the call to get_page_from_freelist. Because all of the reclaimable memory on the system has already been reclaimed, __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim skips the call to get_page_from_freelist. Since there is no __GFP_FS flag, the block with __alloc_pages_may_oom is skipped. The loop hits the wait_iff_congested, then jumps back to rebalance without ever trying to get_page_from_freelist. This loop repeats infinitely. The test case is pretty pathological. Running a mix of I/O stress-tests that do a lot of fork() and consume all of the system memory, I can pretty reliably hit this on 600 nodes, in about 12 hours. 32GB/node.

mm: fail GFP_DMA allocations when ZONE_DMA is not configured The page allocator will improperly return a page from ZONE_NORMAL even when __GFP_DMA is passed if CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is disabled.

mm: check if any page in a pageblock is reserved before marking it MIGRATE_RESERVE This fixes a problem where the first pageblock got marked MIGRATE_RESERVE even though it only had a few free pages. eg, On current ARM port, The kernel starts at offset 0x8000 to leave room for boot parameters, and the memory is freed later. This in turn caused no contiguous memory to be reserved and frequent kswapd wakeups that emptied the caches to get more contiguous memory. Unfortunatelly, ARM needs order-2 allocation for pgd (see arm/mm/pgd.c#pgd_alloc()). Therefore the issue is not minor nor easy avoidable.

mm: break out page allocation warning code This originally started as a simple patch to give vmalloc() some more verbose output on failure on top of the plain page allocator messages. Johannes suggested that it might be nicer to lead with the vmalloc() info _before_ the page allocator messages. But, I do think there's a lot of value in what __alloc_pages_slowpath() does with its filtering and so forth. This patch creates a new function which other allocators can call instead of relying on the internal page allocator warnings. It also gives this function private rate-limiting which separates it from other printk_ratelimit() users.

mm/compaction: reverse the change that forbade sync migraton with __GFP_NO_KSWAPD It's uncertain this has been beneficial, so it's safer to undo it. All other compaction users would still go in synchronous mode if a first attempt at async compaction failed. Hopefully we don't need to force special behavior for THP (which is the only __GFP_NO_KSWAPD user so far and it's the easier to exercise and to be noticeable). This also make __GFP_NO_KSWAPD return to its original strict semantics specific to bypass kswapd, as THP allocations have khugepaged for the async THP allocations/compactions.

This patch also removes the show_free_areas() wrapper around __show_free_areas() and converts existing callers to pass an empty filter. ia64 emits additional information for each node, so skip_free_areas_zone() must be made global to filter disallowed nodes and it is converted to use a nid argument rather than a zone for this use case.

The latter is marked __meminit while build_all_zonelists() itself has no particular annotation. build_all_zonelists() is only handed a non-NULL pointer in the case of memory hotplug through an existing __meminit path, so the setup_zone_pageset() reference is always safe.

memcg: add memcg sanity checks at allocating and freeing pages Add checks at allocating or freeing a page whether the page is used (iow, charged) from the view point of memcg.

mm: add __GFP_OTHER_NODE flag Add a new __GFP_OTHER_NODE flag to tell the low level numa statistics in zone_statistics() that an allocation is on behalf of another thread. This way the local and remote counters can be still correct, even when background daemons like khugepaged are changing memory mappings. This only affects the accounting, but I think it's worth doing that right to avoid confusing users. I first tried to just pass down the right node, but this required a lot of changes to pass down this parameter and at least one addition of a 10th argument to a 9 argument function. Using the flag is a lot less intrusive. Open: should be also used for migration?

mm: compaction: Use async migration for __GFP_NO_KSWAPD and enforce no writeback __GFP_NO_KSWAPD allocations are usually very expensive and not mandatory to succeed as they have graceful fallback. Waiting for I/O in those, tends to be overkill in terms of latencies, so we can reduce their latency by disabling sync migrate. Unfortunately, even with async migration it's still possible for the process to be blocked waiting for a request slot (e.g. get_request_wait in the block layer) when ->writepage is called. To prevent __GFP_NO_KSWAPD blocking, this patch prevents ->writepage being called on dirty page cache for asynchronous migration.

This output, however, can be extremely verbose. In irq context, it may result in significant delays that incur NMI watchdog timeouts when the machine is large (we use CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8 here to define a "large" machine since the length of the show_mem() output is proportional to the number of possible nodes).

oom: suppress nodes that are not allowed from meminfo on oom kill The oom killer is extremely verbose for machines with a large number of cpus and/or nodes. This verbosity can often be harmful if it causes other important messages to be scrolled from the kernel log and incurs a signicant time delay, specifically for kernels with CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8. This patch causes only memory information to be displayed for nodes that are allowed by current's cpuset when dumping the VM state. Information for all other nodes is irrelevant to the oom condition; we don't care if there's an abundance of memory elsewhere if we can't access it. This only affects the behavior of dumping memory information when an oom is triggered. Other dumps, such as for sysrq+m, still display the unfiltered form when using the existing show_mem() interface. Additionally, the per-cpu pageset statistics are extremely verbose in oom killer output, so it is now suppressed. This removes nodes_weight(current->mems_allowed) * (1 + nr_cpus) lines from the oom killer output. Callers may use __show_mem(SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES) to filter disallowed nodes.

mm: clear pages_scanned only if draining a pcp adds pages to the buddy allocator Commit 0e093d99763e ("writeback: do not sleep on the congestion queue if there are no congested BDIs or if significant congestion is not being encountered in the current zone") uncovered a livelock in the page allocator that resulted in tasks infinitely looping trying to find memory and kswapd running at 100% cpu. The issue occurs because drain_all_pages() is called immediately following direct reclaim when no memory is freed and try_to_free_pages() returns non-zero because all zones in the zonelist do not have their all_unreclaimable flag set. When draining the per-cpu pagesets back to the buddy allocator for each zone, the zone->pages_scanned counter is cleared to avoid erroneously setting zone->all_unreclaimable later. The problem is that no pages may actually be drained and, thus, the unreclaimable logic never fails direct reclaim so the oom killer may be invoked. This apparently only manifested after wait_iff_congested() was introduced and the zone was full of anonymous memory that would not congest the backing store. The page allocator would infinitely loop if there were no other tasks waiting to be scheduled and clear zone->pages_scanned because of drain_all_pages() as the result of this change before kswapd could scan enough pages to trigger the reclaim logic. Additionally, with every loop of the page allocator and in the reclaim path, kswapd would be kicked and would end up running at 100% cpu. In this scenario, current and kswapd are all running continuously with kswapd incrementing zone->pages_scanned and current clearing it. The problem is even more pronounced when current swaps some of its memory to swap cache and the reclaimable logic then considers all active anonymous memory in the all_unreclaimable logic, which requires a much higher zone->pages_scanned value for try_to_free_pages() to return zero that is never attainable in this scenario. Before wait_iff_congested(), the page allocator would incur an unconditional timeout and allow kswapd to elevate zone->pages_scanned to a level that the oom killer would be called the next time it loops. The fix is to only attempt to drain pcp pages if there is actually a quantity to be drained. The unconditional clearing of zone->pages_scanned in free_pcppages_bulk() need not be changed since other callers already ensure that draining will occur. This patch ensures that free_pcppages_bulk() will actually free memory before calling into it from drain_all_pages() so zone->pages_scanned is only cleared if appropriate.

mm: fix deferred congestion timeout if preferred zone is not allowed Before 0e093d99763e ("writeback: do not sleep on the congestion queue if there are no congested BDIs or if significant congestion is not being encountered in the current zone"), preferred_zone was only used for NUMA statistics, to determine the zoneidx from which to allocate from given the type requested, and whether to utilize memory compaction. wait_iff_congested(), though, uses preferred_zone to determine if the congestion wait should be deferred because its dirty pages are backed by a congested bdi. This incorrectly defers the timeout and busy loops in the page allocator with various cond_resched() calls if preferred_zone is not allowed in the current context, usually consuming 100% of a cpu. This patch ensures preferred_zone is an allowed zone in the fastpath depending on whether current is constrained by its cpuset or nodes in its mempolicy (when the nodemask passed is non-NULL). This is correct since the fastpath allocation always passes ALLOC_CPUSET when trying to allocate memory. In the slowpath, this patch resets preferred_zone to the first zone of the allowed type when the allocation is not constrained by current's cpuset, i.e. it does not pass ALLOC_CPUSET. This patch also ensures preferred_zone is from the set of allowed nodes when called from within direct reclaim since allocations are always constrained by cpusets in this context (it is blockable). Both of these uses of cpuset_current_mems_allowed are protected by get_mems_allowed().

It's unacceptable to swap out anonymous pages (potentially anonymous transparent hugepages) in order to create new transparent hugepages. This is true for the MADV_HUGEPAGE areas too (swapping out a kvm virtual machine and so having it suffer an unbearable slowdown, so another one with guest physical memory marked MADV_HUGEPAGE can run 30% faster if it is running memory intensive workloads, makes no sense). If a transparent hugepage allocation fails the slowdown is minor and there is total fallback, so kswapd should never be asked to swapout memory to allow the high order allocation to succeed.

mm: kswapd: stop high-order balancing when any suitable zone is balanced Simon Kirby reported the following problem We're seeing cases on a number of servers where cache never fully grows to use all available memory. Sometimes we see servers with 4 GB of memory that never seem to have less than 1.5 GB free, even with a constantly-active VM. In some cases, these servers also swap out while this happens, even though they are constantly reading the working set into memory. We have been seeing this happening for a long time; I don't think it's anything recent, and it still happens on 2.6.36. After some debugging work by Simon, Dave Hansen and others, the prevaling theory became that kswapd is reclaiming order-3 pages requested by SLUB too aggressive about it. There are two apparent problems here. On the target machine, there is a small Normal zone in comparison to DMA32. As kswapd tries to balance all zones, it would continually try reclaiming for Normal even though DMA32 was balanced enough for callers. The second problem is that sleeping_prematurely() does not use the same logic as balance_pgdat() when deciding whether to sleep or not. This keeps kswapd artifically awake. A number of tests were run and the figures from previous postings will look very different for a few reasons. One, the old figures were forcing my network card to use GFP_ATOMIC in attempt to replicate Simon's problem. Second, I previous specified slub_min_order=3 again in an attempt to reproduce Simon's problem. In this posting, I'm depending on Simon to say whether his problem is fixed or not and these figures are to show the impact to the ordinary cases. Finally, the "vmscan" figures are taken from /proc/vmstat instead of the tracepoints. There is less information but recording is less disruptive. The first test of relevance was postmark with a process running in the background reading a large amount of anonymous memory in blocks.

Note that kswapd scanned and reclaimed fewer pages as it's less aggressive and overall fewer pages were scanned and reclaimed. Swap in/out is particularly reduced again reflecting kswapd throwing out fewer pages. The slight performance impact is unfortunate here but it looks like a direct result of kswapd being less aggressive. As the bug report is about too many pages being freed by kswapd, it may have to be accepted for now.

Note that kswapd is hitting its watermarks faster (low and high wmark quickly) which I expect is due to kswapd reclaiming fewer pages. I also ran fs-mark, iozone and sysbench but there is nothing interesting to report in the figures. Performance is not significantly changed and the reclaim statistics look reasonable. Tgis patch: When the allocator enters its slow path, kswapd is woken up to balance the node. It continues working until all zones within the node are balanced. For order-0 allocations, this makes perfect sense but for higher orders it can have unintended side-effects. If the zone sizes are imbalanced, kswapd may reclaim heavily within a smaller zone discarding an excessive number of pages. The user-visible behaviour is that kswapd is awake and reclaiming even though plenty of pages are free from a suitable zone. This patch alters the "balance" logic for high-order reclaim allowing kswapd to stop if any suitable zone becomes balanced to reduce the number of pages it reclaims from other zones. kswapd still tries to ensure that order-0 watermarks for all zones are met before sleeping.

mm: migration: allow migration to operate asynchronously and avoid synchronous compaction in the faster path Migration synchronously waits for writeback if the initial passes fails. Callers of memory compaction do not necessarily want this behaviour if the caller is latency sensitive or expects that synchronous migration is not going to have a significantly better success rate. This patch adds a sync parameter to migrate_pages() allowing the caller to indicate if wait_on_page_writeback() is allowed within migration or not. For reclaim/compaction, try_to_compact_pages() is first called asynchronously, direct reclaim runs and then try_to_compact_pages() is called synchronously as there is a greater expectation that it'll succeed.

mm: vmscan: reclaim order-0 and use compaction instead of lumpy reclaim Lumpy reclaim is disruptive. It reclaims a large number of pages and ignores the age of the pages it reclaims. This can incur significant stalls and potentially increase the number of major faults. Compaction has reached the point where it is considered reasonably stable (meaning it has passed a lot of testing) and is a potential candidate for displacing lumpy reclaim. This patch introduces an alternative to lumpy reclaim whe compaction is available called reclaim/compaction. The basic operation is very simple - instead of selecting a contiguous range of pages to reclaim, a number of order-0 pages are reclaimed and then compaction is later by either kswapd (compact_zone_order()) or direct compaction (__alloc_pages_direct_compact()).

mm: page allocator: adjust the per-cpu counter threshold when memory is low Commit aa45484 ("calculate a better estimate of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory is low") noted that watermarks were based on the vmstat NR_FREE_PAGES. To avoid synchronization overhead, these counters are maintained on a per-cpu basis and drained both periodically and when a threshold is above a threshold. On large CPU systems, the difference between the estimate and real value of NR_FREE_PAGES can be very high. The system can get into a case where pages are allocated far below the min watermark potentially causing livelock issues. The commit solved the problem by taking a better reading of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory was low. Unfortately, as reported by Shaohua Li this accurate reading can consume a large amount of CPU time on systems with many sockets due to cache line bouncing. This patch takes a different approach. For large machines where counter drift might be unsafe and while kswapd is awake, the per-cpu thresholds for the target pgdat are reduced to limit the level of drift to what should be a safe level. This incurs a performance penalty in heavy memory pressure by a factor that depends on the workload and the machine but the machine should function correctly without accidentally exhausting all memory on a node. There is an additional cost when kswapd wakes and sleeps but the event is not expected to be frequent - in Shaohua's test case, there was one recorded sleep and wake event at least. To ensure that kswapd wakes up, a safe version of zone_watermark_ok() is introduced that takes a more accurate reading of NR_FREE_PAGES when called from wakeup_kswapd, when deciding whether it is really safe to go back to sleep in sleeping_prematurely() and when deciding if a zone is really balanced or not in balance_pgdat(). We are still using an expensive function but limiting how often it is called. When the test case is reproduced, the time spent in the watermark functions is reduced. The following report is on the percentage of time spent cumulatively spent in the functions zone_nr_free_pages(), zone_watermark_ok(), __zone_watermark_ok(), zone_watermark_ok_safe(), zone_page_state_snapshot(), zone_page_state(). vanilla 11.6615% disable-threshold 0.2584% David said: : We had to pull aa454840 "mm: page allocator: calculate a better estimate : of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory is low and kswapd is awake" from 2.6.36 : internally because tests showed that it would cause the machine to stall : as the result of heavy kswapd activity.

PM / Hibernate: Fix memory corruption related to swap There is a problem that swap pages allocated before the creation of a hibernation image can be released and used for storing the contents of different memory pages while the image is being saved. Since the kernel stored in the image doesn't know of that, it causes memory corruption to occur after resume from hibernation, especially on systems with relatively small RAM that need to swap often. This issue can be addressed by keeping the GFP_IOFS bits clear in gfp_allowed_mask during the entire hibernation, including the saving of the image, until the system is finally turned off or the hibernation is aborted. Unfortunately, for this purpose it's necessary to rework the way in which the hibernate and suspend code manipulates gfp_allowed_mask. This change is based on an earlier patch from Hugh Dickins.

writeback: do not sleep on the congestion queue if there are no congested BDIs or if significant congestion is not being encountered in the current zone If congestion_wait() is called with no BDI congested, the caller will sleep for the full timeout and this may be an unnecessary sleep. This patch adds a wait_iff_congested() that checks congestion and only sleeps if a BDI is congested else, it calls cond_resched() to ensure the caller is not hogging the CPU longer than its quota but otherwise will not sleep. This is aimed at reducing some of the major desktop stalls reported during IO. For example, while kswapd is operating, it calls congestion_wait() but it could just have been reclaiming clean page cache pages with no congestion. Without this patch, it would sleep for a full timeout but after this patch, it'll just call schedule() if it has been on the CPU too long. Similar logic applies to direct reclaimers that are not making enough progress.

mm, page-allocator: do not check the state of a non-existant buddy during free There is a bug in commit 6dda9d55 ("page allocator: reduce fragmentation in buddy allocator by adding buddies that are merging to the tail of the free lists") that means a buddy at order MAX_ORDER is checked for merging. A page of this order never exists so at times, an effectively random piece of memory is being checked. Alan Curry has reported that this is causing memory corruption in userspace data on a PPC32 platform (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/10/9/32). It is not clear why this is happening. It could be a cache coherency problem where pages mapped in both user and kernel space are getting different cache lines due to the bad read from kernel space (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/10/13/179). It could also be that there are some special registers being io-remapped at the end of the memmap array and that a read has special meaning on them. Compiler bugs have been ruled out because the assembly before and after the patch looks relatively harmless. This patch fixes the problem by ensuring we are not reading a possibly invalid location of memory. It's not clear why the read causes corruption but one way or the other it is a buggy read.

mm: page allocator: drain per-cpu lists after direct reclaim allocation fails When under significant memory pressure, a process enters direct reclaim and immediately afterwards tries to allocate a page. If it fails and no further progress is made, it's possible the system will go OOM. However, on systems with large amounts of memory, it's possible that a significant number of pages are on per-cpu lists and inaccessible to the calling process. This leads to a process entering direct reclaim more often than it should increasing the pressure on the system and compounding the problem. This patch notes that if direct reclaim is making progress but allocations are still failing that the system is already under heavy pressure. In this case, it drains the per-cpu lists and tries the allocation a second time before continuing.

mm: page allocator: calculate a better estimate of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory is low and kswapd is awake Ordinarily watermark checks are based on the vmstat NR_FREE_PAGES as it is cheaper than scanning a number of lists. To avoid synchronization overhead, counter deltas are maintained on a per-cpu basis and drained both periodically and when the delta is above a threshold. On large CPU systems, the difference between the estimated and real value of NR_FREE_PAGES can be very high. If NR_FREE_PAGES is much higher than number of real free page in buddy, the VM can allocate pages below min watermark, at worst reducing the real number of pages to zero. Even if the OOM killer kills some victim for freeing memory, it may not free memory if the exit path requires a new page resulting in livelock. This patch introduces a zone_page_state_snapshot() function (courtesy of Christoph) that takes a slightly more accurate view of an arbitrary vmstat counter. It is used to read NR_FREE_PAGES while kswapd is awake to avoid the watermark being accidentally broken. The estimate is not perfect and may result in cache line bounces but is expected to be lighter than the IPI calls necessary to continually drain the per-cpu counters while kswapd is awake.

Unfortunately, when pages are being freed in batch, the counters are updated before the pages are added on the list. During this window, the counters are misleading as the pages do not exist yet. When under significant pressure on systems with large numbers of CPUs, it's possible for processes to make progress even though they should have been stalled. This is particularly problematic if a number of the processes are using GFP_ATOMIC as the min watermark can be accidentally breached and in extreme cases, the system can livelock. This patch updates the counters after the pages have been added to the list. This makes the allocator more cautious with respect to preserving the watermarks and mitigates livelock possibilities.

vmscan: kill prev_priority completely Since 2.6.28 zone->prev_priority is unused. Then it can be removed safely. It reduce stack usage slightly. Now I have to say that I'm sorry. 2 years ago, I thought prev_priority can be integrate again, it's useful. but four (or more) times trying haven't got good performance number. Thus I give up such approach. The rest of this changelog is notes on prev_priority and why it existed in the first place and why it might be not necessary any more. This information is based heavily on discussions between Andrew Morton, Rik van Riel and Kosaki Motohiro who is heavily quotes from. Historically prev_priority was important because it determined when the VM would start unmapping PTE pages. i.e. there are no balances of note within the VM, Anon vs File and Mapped vs Unmapped. Without prev_priority, there is a potential risk of unnecessarily increasing minor faults as a large amount of read activity of use-once pages could push mapped pages to the end of the LRU and get unmapped. There is no proof this is still a problem but currently it is not considered to be. Active files are not deactivated if the active file list is smaller than the inactive list reducing the liklihood that file-mapped pages are being pushed off the LRU and referenced executable pages are kept on the active list to avoid them getting pushed out by read activity. Even if it is a problem, prev_priority prev_priority wouldn't works nowadays. First of all, current vmscan still a lot of UP centric code. it expose some weakness on some dozens CPUs machine. I think we need more and more improvement. The problem is, current vmscan mix up per-system-pressure, per-zone-pressure and per-task-pressure a bit. example, prev_priority try to boost priority to other concurrent priority. but if the another task have mempolicy restriction, it is unnecessary, but also makes wrong big latency and exceeding reclaim. per-task based priority + prev_priority adjustment make the emulation of per-system pressure. but it have two issue 1) too rough and brutal emulation 2) we need per-zone pressure, not per-system. Another example, currently DEF_PRIORITY is 12. it mean the lru rotate about 2 cycle (1/4096 + 1/2048 + 1/1024 + .. + 1) before invoking OOM-Killer. but if 10,0000 thrreads enter DEF_PRIORITY reclaim at the same time, the system have higher memory pressure than priority==0 (1/4096*10,000 > 2). prev_priority can't solve such multithreads workload issue. In other word, prev_priority concept assume the sysmtem don't have lots threads."

oom: avoid oom killer for lowmem allocations If memory has been depleted in lowmem zones even with the protection afforded to it by /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio, it is unlikely that killing current users will help. The memory is either reclaimable (or migratable) already, in which case we should not invoke the oom killer at all, or it is pinned by an application for I/O. Killing such an application may leave the hardware in an unspecified state and there is no guarantee that it will be able to make a timely exit. Lowmem allocations are now failed in oom conditions when __GFP_NOFAIL is not used so that the task can perhaps recover or try again later. Previously, the heuristic provided some protection for those tasks with CAP_SYS_RAWIO, but this is no longer necessary since we will not be killing tasks for the purposes of ISA allocations. high_zoneidx is gfp_zone(gfp_flags), meaning that ZONE_NORMAL will be the default for all allocations that are not __GFP_DMA, __GFP_DMA32, __GFP_HIGHMEM, and __GFP_MOVABLE on kernels configured to support those flags. Testing for high_zoneidx being less than ZONE_NORMAL will only return true for allocations that have either __GFP_DMA or __GFP_DMA32.

numa: introduce numa_mem_id()- effective local memory node id Introduce numa_mem_id(), based on generic percpu variable infrastructure to track "nearest node with memory" for archs that support memoryless nodes. Define API in <linux/topology.h> when CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES defined, else stubs. Architectures will define HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES if/when they support them. Archs can override definitions of: numa_mem_id() - returns node number of "local memory" node set_numa_mem() - initialize [this cpus'] per cpu variable 'numa_mem' cpu_to_mem() - return numa_mem for specified cpu; may be used as lvalue Generic initialization of 'numa_mem' occurs in __build_all_zonelists(). This will initialize the boot cpu at boot time, and all cpus on change of numa_zonelist_order, or when node or memory hot-plug requires zonelist rebuild. Archs that support memoryless nodes will need to initialize 'numa_mem' for secondary cpus as they're brought on-line.

numa: add generic percpu var numa_node_id() implementation Rework the generic version of the numa_node_id() function to use the new generic percpu variable infrastructure. Guard the new implementation with a new config option: CONFIG_USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID. Archs which support this new implemention will default this option to 'y' when NUMA is configured. This config option could be removed if/when all archs switch over to the generic percpu implementation of numa_node_id(). Arch support involves: 1) converting any existing per cpu variable implementations to use this implementation. x86_64 is an instance of such an arch. 2) archs that don't use a per cpu variable for numa_node_id() will need to initialize the new per cpu variable "numa_node" as cpus are brought on-line. ia64 is an example. 3) Defining USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID in arch dependent Kconfig--e.g., when NUMA is configured. This is required because I have retained the old implementation by default to allow archs to be modified incrementally, as desired. Subsequent patches will convert x86_64 and ia64 to use this implemenation.

Even if only 1 node is accessing the boot_pageset, (3) may still consume too much memory to fail the memory allocations in step (7).

mm: compaction: defer compaction using an exponential backoff when compaction fails The fragmentation index may indicate that a failure is due to external fragmentation but after a compaction run completes, it is still possible for an allocation to fail. There are two obvious reasons as to why o Page migration cannot move all pages so fragmentation remains o A suitable page may exist but watermarks are not met In the event of compaction followed by an allocation failure, this patch defers further compaction in the zone (1 << compact_defer_shift) times. If the next compaction attempt also fails, compact_defer_shift is increased up to a maximum of 6. If compaction succeeds, the defer counters are reset again. The zone that is deferred is the first zone in the zonelist - i.e. the preferred zone. To defer compaction in the other zones, the information would need to be stored in the zonelist or implemented similar to the zonelist_cache. This would impact the fast-paths and is not justified at this time.

mm: compaction: direct compact when a high-order allocation fails Ordinarily when a high-order allocation fails, direct reclaim is entered to free pages to satisfy the allocation. With this patch, it is determined if an allocation failed due to external fragmentation instead of low memory and if so, the calling process will compact until a suitable page is freed. Compaction by moving pages in memory is considerably cheaper than paging out to disk and works where there are locked pages or no swap. If compaction fails to free a page of a suitable size, then reclaim will still occur. Direct compaction returns as soon as possible. As each block is compacted, it is checked if a suitable page has been freed and if so, it returns.

mm: compaction: memory compaction core This patch is the core of a mechanism which compacts memory in a zone by relocating movable pages towards the end of the zone. A single compaction run involves a migration scanner and a free scanner. Both scanners operate on pageblock-sized areas in the zone. The migration scanner starts at the bottom of the zone and searches for all movable pages within each area, isolating them onto a private list called migratelist. The free scanner starts at the top of the zone and searches for suitable areas and consumes the free pages within making them available for the migration scanner. The pages isolated for migration are then migrated to the newly isolated free pages.

mm: default to node zonelist ordering when nodes have only lowmem There are two types of zonelist ordering methodologies: - node order, preferring allocations on a node to stay local to and - zone order, preferring allocations come from a higher zone to avoid allocating in lowmem zones even though they may not be local. The ordering technique used by the kernel is configurable on the command line, but also has some logic to determine what the default should be. This logic currently lacks knowledge of systems where a node may only have lowmem. For such systems, it is necessary to use node order so that GFP_KERNEL allocations may be satisfied by nodes consisting of only lowmem. If zone order is used, GFP_KERNEL allocations to such nodes are actually allocated on a node with local affinity that includes ZONE_NORMAL. This change defaults to node zonelist ordering if any node lacks ZONE_NORMAL. To force zone order, append 'numa_zonelist_order=zone' to the kernel command line.

cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems Before applying this patch, cpuset updates task->mems_allowed and mempolicy by setting all new bits in the nodemask first, and clearing all old unallowed bits later. But in the way, the allocator may find that there is no node to alloc memory. The reason is that cpuset rebinds the task's mempolicy, it cleans the nodes which the allocater can alloc pages on, for example: (mpol: mempolicy) task1 task1's mpol task2 alloc page 1 alloc on node0? NO 1 1 change mems from 1 to 0 1 rebind task1's mpol 0-1 set new bits 0 clear disallowed bits alloc on node1? NO 0 ... can't alloc page goto oom This patch fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits). So we use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

page allocator: reduce fragmentation in buddy allocator by adding buddies that are merging to the tail of the free lists In order to reduce fragmentation, this patch classifies freed pages in two groups according to their probability of being part of a high order merge. Pages belonging to a compound whose next-highest buddy is free are more likely to be part of a high order merge in the near future, so they will be added at the tail of the freelist. The remaining pages are put at the front of the freelist. In this way, the pages that are more likely to cause a big merge are kept free longer. Consequently there is a tendency to aggregate the long-living allocations on a subset of the compounds, reducing the fragmentation. This heuristic was tested on three machines, x86, x86-64 and ppc64 with 3GB of RAM in each machine. The tests were kernbench, netperf, sysbench and STREAM for performance and a high-order stress test for huge page allocations.

Looking at the figures, only the X86-64 ones look suspicious with a few losses that were outside the noise. However, the results were so unstable that without knowing why they vary so much, a solid conclusion cannot be reached.

While there are a few losses, the results vary by +/- 8% in some cases. They are the results of most concern as there are some large losses but it's also within the variance typically seen between kernel releases. The STREAM results varied so little and are so verbose that I didn't include them here. The final test stressed how many huge pages can be allocated. The absolute number of huge pages allocated are the same with or without the page. However, the "unusability free space index" which is a measure of external fragmentation was slightly lower (lower is better) throughout the lifetime of the system. I also measured the latency of how long it took to successfully allocate a huge page. The latency was slightly lower and on X86 and PPC64, more huge pages were allocated almost immediately from the free lists. The improvement is slight but there.

mm: suppress pfn range output for zones without pages free_area_init_nodes() emits pfn ranges for all zones on the system. There may be no pages on a higher zone, however, due to memory limitations or the use of the mem= kernel parameter. For example: Zone PFN ranges: DMA 0x00000001 -> 0x00001000 DMA32 0x00001000 -> 0x00100000 Normal 0x00100000 -> 0x00100000 The implementation copies the previous zone's highest pfn, if any, as the next zone's lowest pfn. If its highest pfn is then greater than the amount of addressable memory, the upper memory limit is used instead. Thus, both the lowest and highest possible pfn for higher zones without memory may be the same. The pfn range for zones without memory is now shown as "empty" instead.

mm: fix migratetype bug which slowed swapping After memory pressure has forced it to dip into the reserves, 2.6.32's 5f8dcc21211a3d4e3a7a5ca366b469fb88117f61 "page-allocator: split per-cpu list into one-list-per-migrate-type" has been returning MIGRATE_RESERVE pages to the MIGRATE_MOVABLE free_list: in some sense depleting reserves. Fix that in the most straightforward way (which, considering the overheads of alternative approaches, is Mel's preference): the right migratetype is already in page_private(page), but free_pcppages_bulk() wasn't using it. How did this bug show up? As a 20% slowdown in my tmpfs loop kbuild swapping tests, on PowerMac G5 with SLUB allocator. Bisecting to that commit was easy, but explaining the magnitude of the slowdown not easy. The same effect appears, but much less markedly, with SLAB, and even less markedly on other machines (the PowerMac divides into fewer zones than x86, I think that may be a factor). We guess that lumpy reclaim of short-lived high-order pages is implicated in some way, and probably this bug has been tickling a poor decision somewhere in page reclaim. But instrumentation hasn't told me much, I've run out of time and imagination to determine exactly what's going on, and shouldn't hold up the fix any longer: it's valid, and might even fix other misbehaviours.

this_cpu: Page allocator conversion Use the per cpu allocator functionality to avoid per cpu arrays in struct zone. This drastically reduces the size of struct zone for systems with large amounts of processors and allows placement of critical variables of struct zone in one cacheline even on very large systems. Another effect is that the pagesets of one processor are placed near one another. If multiple pagesets from different zones fit into one cacheline then additional cacheline fetches can be avoided on the hot paths when allocating memory from multiple zones. Bootstrap becomes simpler if we use the same scheme for UP, SMP, NUMA. #ifdefs are reduced and we can drop the zone_pcp macro. Hotplug handling is also simplified since cpu alloc can bring up and shut down cpu areas for a specific cpu as a whole. So there is no need to allocate or free individual pagesets. V7-V8: - Explain chicken egg dilemmna with percpu allocator. V4-V5: - Fix up cases where per_cpu_ptr is called before irq disable - Integrate the bootstrap logic that was separate before. tj: Build failure in pageset_cpuup_callback() due to missing ret variable fixed.

mm: Add notifier in pageblock isolation for balloon drivers Memory balloon drivers can allocate a large amount of memory which is not movable but could be freed to accomodate memory hotplug remove. Prior to calling the memory hotplug notifier chain the memory in the pageblock is isolated. Currently, if the migrate type is not MIGRATE_MOVABLE the isolation will not proceed, causing the memory removal for that page range to fail. Rather than failing pageblock isolation if the migrateteype is not MIGRATE_MOVABLE, this patch checks if all of the pages in the pageblock, and not on the LRU, are owned by a registered balloon driver (or other entity) using a notifier chain. If all of the non-movable pages are owned by a balloon, they can be freed later through the memory notifier chain and the range can still be isolated in set_migratetype_isolate().

oom-kill: fix NUMA constraint check with nodemask Fix node-oriented allocation handling in oom-kill.c I myself think of this as a bugfix not as an ehnancement. In these days, things are changed as - alloc_pages() eats nodemask as its arguments, __alloc_pages_nodemask(). - mempolicy don't maintain its own private zonelists. (And cpuset doesn't use nodemask for __alloc_pages_nodemask()) So, current oom-killer's check function is wrong. This patch does - check nodemask, if nodemask && nodemask doesn't cover all node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], this is CONSTRAINT_MEMORY_POLICY. - Scan all zonelist under nodemask, if it hits cpuset's wall this faiulre is from cpuset. And - modifies the caller of out_of_memory not to call oom if __GFP_THISNODE. This doesn't change "current" behavior. If callers use __GFP_THISNODE it should handle "page allocation failure" by itself. - handle __GFP_NOFAIL+__GFP_THISNODE path. This is something like a FIXME but this gfpmask is not used now.

page allocator: always wake kswapd when restarting an allocation attempt after direct reclaim failed If a direct reclaim makes no forward progress, it considers whether it should go OOM or not. Whether OOM is triggered or not, it may retry the allocation afterwards. In times past, this would always wake kswapd as well but currently, kswapd is not woken up after direct reclaim fails. For order-0 allocations, this makes little difference but if there is a heavy mix of higher-order allocations that direct reclaim is failing for, it might mean that kswapd is not rewoken for higher orders as much as it did previously. This patch wakes up kswapd when an allocation is being retried after a direct reclaim failure. It would be expected that kswapd is already awake, but this has the effect of telling kswapd to reclaim at the higher order as well.

page-allocator: maintain rolling count of pages to free from the PCP When round-robin freeing pages from the PCP lists, empty lists may be encountered. In the event one of the lists has more pages than another, there may be numerous checks for list_empty() which is undesirable. This patch maintains a count of pages to free which is incremented when empty lists are encountered. The intention is that more pages will then be freed from fuller lists than the empty ones reducing the number of empty list checks in the free path.

page-allocator: split per-cpu list into one-list-per-migrate-type The following two patches remove searching in the page allocator fast-path by maintaining multiple free-lists in the per-cpu structure. At the time the search was introduced, increasing the per-cpu structures would waste a lot of memory as per-cpu structures were statically allocated at compile-time. This is no longer the case. The patches are as follows. They are based on mmotm-2009-08-27. Patch 1 adds multiple lists to struct per_cpu_pages, one per migratetype that can be stored on the PCP lists. Patch 2 notes that the pcpu drain path check empty lists multiple times. The patch reduces the number of checks by maintaining a count of free lists encountered. Lists containing pages will then free multiple pages in batch The patches were tested with kernbench, netperf udp/tcp, hackbench and sysbench. The netperf tests were not bound to any CPU in particular and were run such that the results should be 99% confidence that the reported results are within 1% of the estimated mean. sysbench was run with a postgres background and read-only tests. Similar to netperf, it was run multiple times so that it's 99% confidence results are within 1%. The patches were tested on x86, x86-64 and ppc64 as x86: Intel Pentium D 3GHz with 8G RAM (no-brand machine) kernbench - No significant difference, variance well within noise netperf-udp - 1.34% to 2.28% gain netperf-tcp - 0.45% to 1.22% gain hackbench - Small variances, very close to noise sysbench - Very small gains x86-64: AMD Phenom 9950 1.3GHz with 8G RAM (no-brand machine) kernbench - No significant difference, variance well within noise netperf-udp - 1.83% to 10.42% gains netperf-tcp - No conclusive until buffer >= PAGE_SIZE 4096 +15.83% 8192 + 0.34% (not significant) 16384 + 1% hackbench - Small gains, very close to noise sysbench - 0.79% to 1.6% gain ppc64: PPC970MP 2.5GHz with 10GB RAM (it's a terrasoft powerstation) kernbench - No significant difference, variance well within noise netperf-udp - 2-3% gain for almost all buffer sizes tested netperf-tcp - losses on small buffers, gains on larger buffers possibly indicates some bad caching effect. hackbench - No significant difference sysbench - 2-4% gain This patch: Currently the per-cpu page allocator searches the PCP list for pages of the correct migrate-type to reduce the possibility of pages being inappropriate placed from a fragmentation perspective. This search is potentially expensive in a fast-path and undesirable. Splitting the per-cpu list into multiple lists increases the size of a per-cpu structure and this was potentially a major problem at the time the search was introduced. These problem has been mitigated as now only the necessary number of structures is allocated for the running system. This patch replaces a list search in the per-cpu allocator with one list per migrate type. The potential snag with this approach is when bulk freeing pages. We round-robin free pages based on migrate type which has little bearing on the cache hotness of the page and potentially checks empty lists repeatedly in the event the majority of PCP pages are of one type.

mm: do batched scans for mem_cgroup For mem_cgroup, shrink_zone() may call shrink_list() with nr_to_scan=1, in which case shrink_list() _still_ calls isolate_pages() with the much larger SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX. It effectively scales up the inactive list scan rate by up to 32 times. For example, with 16k inactive pages and DEF_PRIORITY=12, (16k >> 12)=4. So when shrink_zone() expects to scan 4 pages in the active/inactive list, the active list will be scanned 4 pages, while the inactive list will be (over) scanned SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX=32 pages in effect. And that could break the balance between the two lists. It can further impact the scan of anon active list, due to the anon active/inactive ratio rebalance logic in balance_pgdat()/shrink_zone(): inactive anon list over scanned => inactive_anon_is_low() == TRUE => shrink_active_list() => active anon list over scanned So the end result may be - anon inactive => over scanned - anon active => over scanned (maybe not as much) - file inactive => over scanned - file active => under scanned (relatively) The accesses to nr_saved_scan are not lock protected and so not 100% accurate, however we can tolerate small errors and the resulted small imbalanced scan rates between zones.

page-allocator: limit the number of MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks per zone After anti-fragmentation was merged, a bug was reported whereby devices that depended on high-order atomic allocations were failing. The solution was to preserve a property in the buddy allocator which tended to keep the minimum number of free pages in the zone at the lower physical addresses and contiguous. To preserve this property, MIGRATE_RESERVE was introduced and a number of pageblocks at the start of a zone would be marked "reserve", the number of which depended on min_free_kbytes. Anti-fragmentation works by avoiding the mixing of page migratetypes within the same pageblock. One way of helping this is to increase min_free_kbytes because it becomes less like that it will be necessary to place pages of of MIGRATE_RESERVE is unbounded, the free memory is kept there in large contiguous blocks instead of helping anti-fragmentation as much as it should. With the page-allocator tracepoint patches applied, it was found during anti-fragmentation tests that the number of fragmentation-related events were far higher than expected even with min_free_kbytes at higher values. This patch limits the number of MIGRATE_RESERVE blocks that exist per zone to two. For example, with a sufficient min_free_kbytes, 4MB of memory will be kept aside on an x86-64 and remain more or less free and contiguous for the systems uptime. This should be sufficient for devices depending on high-order atomic allocations while helping fragmentation control when min_free_kbytes is tuned appropriately. As side-effect of this patch is that the reserve variable is converted to int as unsigned long was the wrong type to use when ensuring that only the required number of reserve blocks are created. With the patches applied, fragmentation-related events as measured by the page allocator tracepoints were significantly reduced when running some fragmentation stress-tests on systems with min_free_kbytes tuned to a value appropriate for hugepage allocations at runtime. On x86, the events recorded were reduced by 99.8%, on x86-64 by 99.72% and on ppc64 by 99.83%.

tracing, page-allocator: add trace event for page traffic related to the buddy lists The page allocation trace event reports that a page was successfully allocated but it does not specify where it came from. When analysing performance, it can be important to distinguish between pages coming from the per-cpu allocator and pages coming from the buddy lists as the latter requires the zone lock to the taken and more data structures to be examined. This patch adds a trace event for __rmqueue reporting when a page is being allocated from the buddy lists. It distinguishes between being called to refill the per-cpu lists or whether it is a high-order allocation. Similarly, this patch adds an event to catch when the PCP lists are being drained a little and pages are going back to the buddy lists. This is trickier to draw conclusions from but high activity on those events could explain why there were a large number of cache misses on a page-allocator-intensive workload. The coalescing and splitting of buddies involves a lot of writing of page metadata and cache line bounces not to mention the acquisition of an interrupt-safe lock necessary to enter this path.

tracing, page-allocator: add trace events for anti-fragmentation falling back to other migratetypes Fragmentation avoidance depends on being able to use free pages from lists of the appropriate migrate type. In the event this is not possible, __rmqueue_fallback() selects a different list and in some circumstances change the migratetype of the pageblock. Simplistically, the more times this event occurs, the more likely that fragmentation will be a problem later for hugepage allocation at least but there are other considerations such as the order of page being split to satisfy the allocation. This patch adds a trace event for __rmqueue_fallback() that reports what page is being used for the fallback, the orders of relevant pages, the desired migratetype and the migratetype of the lists being used, whether the pageblock changed type and whether this event is important with respect to fragmentation avoidance or not. This information can be used to help analyse fragmentation avoidance and help decide whether min_free_kbytes should be increased or not.

tracing, page-allocator: add trace events for page allocation and page freeing This patch adds trace events for the allocation and freeing of pages, including the freeing of pagevecs. Using the events, it will be known what struct page and pfns are being allocated and freed and what the call site was in many cases. The page alloc tracepoints be used as an indicator as to whether the workload was heavily dependant on the page allocator or not. You can make a guess based on vmstat but you can't get a per-process breakdown. Depending on the call path, the call_site for page allocation may be __get_free_pages() instead of a useful callsite. Instead of passing down a return address similar to slab debugging, the user should enable the stacktrace and seg-addr options to get a proper stack trace. The pagevec free tracepoint has a different usecase. It can be used to get a idea of how many pages are being dumped off the LRU and whether it is kswapd doing the work or a process doing direct reclaim.

page-allocator: change migratetype for all pageblocks within a high-order page during __rmqueue_fallback When there are no pages of a target migratetype free, the page allocator selects a high-order block of another migratetype to allocate from. When the order of the page taken is greater than pageblock_order, all pageblocks within that high-order page should change migratetype so that pages are later freed to the correct free-lists. The current behaviour is that pageblocks change migratetype if the order being split matches the pageblock_order. When pageblock_order < MAX_ORDER-1, ownership is not changing correct and pages are being later freed to the incorrect list and this impacts fragmentation avoidance. This patch changes all pageblocks within the high-order page being split to the correct migratetype. Without the patch, allocation success rates for hugepages under stress were about 59% of physical memory on x86-64. With the patch applied, this goes up to 65%.

This patch expands prep_new_page() to check every component page in a high order page allocation, in order to completely stop PG_hwpoison pages from being recirculated. Note that the common case -- only allocating a single page, doesn't do any more work than before. Allocating > order 0 does a bit more work, but that's relatively uncommon. This simple implementation may drop some innocent neighbor pages, hopefully it is not a big problem because the event should be rare enough.

page-allocator: always change pageblock ownership when anti-fragmentation is disabled On low-memory systems, anti-fragmentation gets disabled as fragmentation cannot be avoided on a sufficiently large boundary to be worthwhile. Once disabled, there is a period of time when all the pageblocks are marked MOVABLE and the expectation is that they get marked UNMOVABLE at each call to __rmqueue_fallback(). However, when MAX_ORDER is large the pageblocks do not change ownership because the normal criteria are not met. This has the effect of prematurely breaking up too many large contiguous blocks. This is most serious on NOMMU systems which depend on high-order allocations to boot. This patch causes pageblocks to change ownership on every fallback when anti-fragmentation is disabled. This prevents the large blocks being prematurely broken up. This is a fix to commit 49255c619fbd482d704289b5eb2795f8e3b7ff2e [page allocator: move check for disabled anti-fragmentation out of fastpath] and the problem affects 2.6.31-rc8.

mm: build_zonelists(): move clear node_load[] to __build_all_zonelists() If node_load[] is cleared everytime build_zonelists() is called,node_load[] will have no help to find the next node that should appear in the given node's fallback list. Because of the bug, zonelist's node_order is not calculated as expected. This bug affects on big machine, which has asynmetric node distance. [synmetric NUMA's node distance] 0 1 2 0 10 12 12 1 12 10 12 2 12 12 10 [asynmetric NUMA's node distance] 0 1 2 0 10 12 20 1 12 10 14 2 20 14 10 This (my bug) is very old but no one has reported this for a long time. Maybe because the number of asynmetric NUMA is very small and they use cpuset for customizing node memory allocation fallback.

page-allocator: allow too high-order warning messages to be suppressed with __GFP_NOWARN The page allocator warns once when an order >= MAX_ORDER is specified. This is to catch callers of the allocator that are always falling back to their worst-case when it was not expected.

page-allocator: preserve PFN ordering when __GFP_COLD is set Fix a post-2.6.24 performace regression caused by 3dfa5721f12c3d5a441448086bee156887daa961 ("page-allocator: preserve PFN ordering when __GFP_COLD is set"). Narayanan reports "The regression is around 15%. There is no disk controller as our setup is based on Samsung OneNAND used as a memory mapped device on a OMAP2430 based board." The page allocator tries to preserve contiguous PFN ordering when returning pages such that repeated callers to the allocator have a strong chance of getting physically contiguous pages, particularly when external fragmentation is low. However, of the bulk of the allocations have __GFP_COLD set as they are due to aio_read() for example, then the PFNs are in reverse PFN order. This can cause performance degration when used with IO controllers that could have merged the requests. This patch attempts to preserve the contiguous ordering of PFNs for users of __GFP_COLD.

vmscan: do not unconditionally treat zones that fail zone_reclaim() as full On NUMA machines, the administrator can configure zone_reclaim_mode that is a more targetted form of direct reclaim. On machines with large NUMA distances for example, a zone_reclaim_mode defaults to 1 meaning that clean unmapped pages will be reclaimed if the zone watermarks are not being met. The problem is that zone_reclaim() failing at all means the zone gets marked full. This can cause situations where a zone is usable, but is being skipped because it has been considered full. Take a situation where a large tmpfs mount is occuping a large percentage of memory overall. The pages do not get cleaned or reclaimed by zone_reclaim(), but the zone gets marked full and the zonelist cache considers them not worth trying in the future. This patch makes zone_reclaim() return more fine-grained information about what occured when zone_reclaim() failued. The zone only gets marked full if it really is unreclaimable. If it's a case that the scan did not occur or if enough pages were not reclaimed with the limited reclaim_mode, then the zone is simply skipped. There is a side-effect to this patch. Currently, if zone_reclaim() successfully reclaimed SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, an allocation attempt would go ahead. With this patch applied, zone watermarks are rechecked after zone_reclaim() does some work. This bug was introduced by commit 9276b1bc96a132f4068fdee00983c532f43d3a26 ("memory page_alloc zonelist caching speedup") way back in 2.6.19 when the zonelist_cache was introduced. It was not intended that zone_reclaim() aggressively consider the zone to be full when it failed as full direct reclaim can still be an option. Due to the age of the bug, it should be considered a -stable candidate.

mm, PM/Freezer: Disable OOM killer when tasks are frozen Currently, the following scenario appears to be possible in theory: * Tasks are frozen for hibernation or suspend. * Free pages are almost exhausted. * Certain piece of code in the suspend code path attempts to allocate some memory using GFP_KERNEL and allocation order less than or equal to PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. * __alloc_pages_internal() cannot find a free page so it invokes the OOM killer. * The OOM killer attempts to kill a task, but the task is frozen, so it doesn't die immediately. * __alloc_pages_internal() jumps to 'restart', unsuccessfully tries to find a free page and invokes the OOM killer. * No progress can be made. Although it is now hard to trigger during hibernation due to the memory shrinking carried out by the hibernation code, it is theoretically possible to trigger during suspend after the memory shrinking has been removed from that code path. Moreover, since memory allocations are going to be used for the hibernation memory shrinking, it will be even more likely to happen during hibernation. To prevent it from happening, introduce the oom_killer_disabled switch that will cause __alloc_pages_internal() to fail in the situations in which the OOM killer would have been called and make the freezer set this switch after tasks have been successfully frozen.

page allocator: sanity check order in the page allocator slow path Callers may speculatively call different allocators in order of preference trying to allocate a buffer of a given size. The order needed to allocate this may be larger than what the page allocator can normally handle. While the allocator mostly does the right thing, it should not direct reclaim or wakeup kswapd with a bogus order.

page allocator: get the pageblock migratetype without disabling interrupts Local interrupts are disabled when freeing pages to the PCP list. Part of that free checks what the migratetype of the pageblock the page is in but it checks this with interrupts disabled and interupts should never be disabled longer than necessary. This patch checks the pagetype with interrupts enabled with the impact that it is possible a page is freed to the wrong list when a pageblock changes type. As that block is now already considered mixed from an anti-fragmentation perspective, it's not of vital importance.

page allocator: do not check for compound pages during the page allocator sanity checks A number of sanity checks are made on each page allocation and free including that the page count is zero. page_count() checks for compound pages and checks the count of the head page if true. However, in these paths, we do not care if the page is compound or not as the count of each tail page should also be zero. This patch makes two changes to the use of page_count() in the free path. It converts one check of page_count() to a VM_BUG_ON() as the count should have been unconditionally checked earlier in the free path. It also avoids checking for compound pages.

page allocator: do not disable interrupts in free_page_mlock() free_page_mlock() tests and clears PG_mlocked using locked versions of the bit operations. If set, it disables interrupts to update counters and this happens on every page free even though interrupts are disabled very shortly afterwards a second time. This is wasteful. This patch splits what free_page_mlock() does. The bit check is still made. However, the update of counters is delayed until the interrupts are disabled and the non-lock version for clearing the bit is used. One potential weirdness with this split is that the counters do not get updated if the bad_page() check is triggered but a system showing bad pages is getting screwed already.

page allocator: do not call get_pageblock_migratetype() more than necessary get_pageblock_migratetype() is potentially called twice for every page free. Once, when being freed to the pcp lists and once when being freed back to buddy. When freeing from the pcp lists, it is known what the pageblock type was at the time of free so use it rather than rechecking. In low memory situations under memory pressure, this might skew anti-fragmentation slightly but the interference is minimal and decisions that are fragmenting memory are being made anyway.

page allocator: calculate the alloc_flags for allocation only once Factor out the mapping between GFP and alloc_flags only once. Once factored out, it only needs to be calculated once but some care must be taken. [neilb@suse.de says] As the test: - if (((p->flags & PF_MEMALLOC) || unlikely(test_thread_flag(TIF_MEMDIE))) - && !in_interrupt()) { - if (!(gfp_mask & __GFP_NOMEMALLOC)) { has been replaced with a slightly weaker one: + if (alloc_flags & ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS) { Without care, this would allow recursion into the allocator via direct reclaim.

page allocator: calculate the preferred zone for allocation only once get_page_from_freelist() can be called multiple times for an allocation. Part of this calculates the preferred_zone which is the first usable zone in the zonelist but the zone depends on the GFP flags specified at the beginning of the allocation call. This patch calculates preferred_zone once. It's safe to do this because if preferred_zone is NULL at the start of the call, no amount of direct reclaim or other actions will change the fact the allocation will fail.

page allocator: replace __alloc_pages_internal() with __alloc_pages_nodemask() The start of a large patch series to clean up and optimise the page allocator. The performance improvements are in a wide range depending on the exact machine but the results I've seen so fair are approximately; kernbench: 0 to 0.12% (elapsed time) 0.49% to 3.20% (sys time) aim9: -4% to 30% (for page_test and brk_test) tbench: -1% to 4% hackbench: -2.5% to 3.45% (mostly within the noise though) netperf-udp -1.34% to 4.06% (varies between machines a bit) netperf-tcp -0.44% to 5.22% (varies between machines a bit) I haven't sysbench figures at hand, but previously they were within the -0.5% to 2% range. On netperf, the client and server were bound to opposite number CPUs to maximise the problems with cache line bouncing of the struct pages so I expect different people to report different results for netperf depending on their exact machine and how they ran the test (different machines, same cpus client/server, shared cache but two threads client/server, different socket client/server etc). I also measured the vmlinux sizes for a single x86-based config with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO enabled but not CONFIG_DEBUG_VM. The core of the .config is based on the Debian Lenny kernel config so I expect it to be reasonably typical. This patch: __alloc_pages_internal is the core page allocator function but essentially it is an alias of __alloc_pages_nodemask. Naming a publicly available and exported function "internal" is also a big ugly. This patch renames __alloc_pages_internal() to __alloc_pages_nodemask() and deletes the old nodemask function. Warning - This patch renames an exported symbol. No kernel driver is affected by external drivers calling __alloc_pages_internal() should change the call to __alloc_pages_nodemask() without any alteration of parameters.

cpuset,mm: update tasks' mems_allowed in time Fix allocating page cache/slab object on the unallowed node when memory spread is set by updating tasks' mems_allowed after its cpuset's mems is changed. In order to update tasks' mems_allowed in time, we must modify the code of memory policy. Because the memory policy is applied in the process's context originally. After applying this patch, one task directly manipulates anothers mems_allowed, and we use alloc_lock in the task_struct to protect mems_allowed and memory policy of the task. But in the fast path, we didn't use lock to protect them, because adding a lock may lead to performance regression. But if we don't add a lock,the task might see no nodes when changing cpuset's mems_allowed to some non-overlapping set. In order to avoid it, we set all new allowed nodes, then clear newly disallowed ones. [lee.schermerhorn@hp.com: The rework of mpol_new() to extract the adjusting of the node mask to apply cpuset and mpol flags "context" breaks set_mempolicy() and mbind() with MPOL_PREFERRED and a NULL nodemask--i.e., explicit local allocation. Fix this by adding the check for MPOL_PREFERRED and empty node mask to mpol_new_mpolicy(). Remove the now unneeded 'nodes = NULL' from mpol_new(). Note that mpol_new_mempolicy() is always called with a non-NULL 'nodes' parameter now that it has been removed from mpol_new(). Therefore, we don't need to test nodes for NULL before testing it for 'empty'. However, just to be extra paranoid, add a VM_BUG_ON() to verify this assumption.] [lee.schermerhorn@hp.com: I don't think the function name 'mpol_new_mempolicy' is descriptive enough to differentiate it from mpol_new(). This function applies cpuset set context, usually constraining nodes to those allowed by the cpuset. However, when the 'RELATIVE_NODES flag is set, it also translates the nodes. So I settled on 'mpol_set_nodemask()', because the comment block for mpol_new() mentions that we need to call this function to "set nodes".

Historically, x86-64 had an architecture-specific method for memory hotplug whereby it scanned the SRAT for physical memory ranges that could be potentially used for memory hot-add later. By reserving those ranges without physical memory, the memmap would be allocated and left dormant until needed. This depended on the DISCONTIG memory model which has been removed so the code implementing HOTPLUG_RESERVE is now dead. This patch removes the dead code used by MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE.

nommu: clamp zone_batchsize() to 0 under NOMMU conditions Clamp zone_batchsize() to 0 under NOMMU conditions to stop free_hot_cold_page() from queueing and batching frees. The problem is that under NOMMU conditions it is really important to be able to allocate large contiguous chunks of memory, but when munmap() or exit_mmap() releases big stretches of memory, return of these to the buddy allocator can be deferred, and when it does finally happen, it can be in small chunks. Whilst the fragmentation this incurs isn't so much of a problem under MMU conditions as userspace VM is glued together from individual pages with the aid of the MMU, it is a real problem if there isn't an MMU. By clamping the page freeing queue size to 0, pages are returned to the allocator immediately, and the buddy detector is more likely to be able to glue them together into large chunks immediately, and fragmentation is less likely to occur. By disabling batching of frees, and by turning off the trimming of excess space during boot, Coldfire can manage to boot.

I think it makes fix-for-memmap-init not easy. This patch moves all declaration to include/linux/mm.h After this, if !CONFIG_NODES_POPULATES_NODE_MAP && !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID -> Use static definition in include/linux/mm.h else if !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID -> Use generic definition in mm/page_alloc.c else -> per-arch back end function will be called.

lockdep: annotate reclaim context (__GFP_NOFS) Here is another version, with the incremental patch rolled up, and added reclaim context annotation to kswapd, and allocation tracing to slab allocators (which may only ever reach the page allocator in rare cases, so it is good to put annotations here too). Haven't tested this version as such, but it should be getting closer to merge worthy ;) -- After noticing some code in mm/filemap.c accidentally perform a __GFP_FS allocation when it should not have been, I thought it might be a good idea to try to catch this kind of thing with lockdep. I coded up a little idea that seems to work. Unfortunately the system has to actually be in __GFP_FS page reclaim, then take the lock, before it will mark it. But at least that might still be some orders of magnitude more common (and more debuggable) than an actual deadlock condition, so we have some improvement I hope (the concept is no less complete than discovery of a lock's interrupt contexts). I guess we could even do the same thing with __GFP_IO (normal reclaim), and even GFP_NOIO locks too... but filesystems will have the most locks and fiddly code paths, so let's start there and see how it goes. It *seems* to work. I did a quick test. ================================= [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] 2.6.28-rc6-00007-ged31348-dirty #26 --------------------------------- inconsistent {in-reclaim-W} -> {ov-reclaim-W} usage. modprobe/8526 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes: (testlock){--..}, at: [<ffffffffa0020055>] brd_init+0x55/0x216 [brd] {in-reclaim-W} state was registered at: [<ffffffff80267bdb>] __lock_acquire+0x75b/0x1a60 [<ffffffff80268f71>] lock_acquire+0x91/0xc0 [<ffffffff8070f0e1>] mutex_lock_nested+0xb1/0x310 [<ffffffffa002002b>] brd_init+0x2b/0x216 [brd] [<ffffffff8020903b>] _stext+0x3b/0x170 [<ffffffff80272ebf>] sys_init_module+0xaf/0x1e0 [<ffffffff8020c3fb>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff irq event stamp: 3929 hardirqs last enabled at (3929): [<ffffffff8070f2b5>] mutex_lock_nested+0x285/0x310 hardirqs last disabled at (3928): [<ffffffff8070f089>] mutex_lock_nested+0x59/0x310 softirqs last enabled at (3732): [<ffffffff8061f623>] sk_filter+0x83/0xe0 softirqs last disabled at (3730): [<ffffffff8061f5b6>] sk_filter+0x16/0xe0 other info that might help us debug this: 1 lock held by modprobe/8526: #0: (testlock){--..}, at: [<ffffffffa0020055>] brd_init+0x55/0x216 [brd] stack backtrace: Pid: 8526, comm: modprobe Not tainted 2.6.28-rc6-00007-ged31348-dirty #26 Call Trace: [<ffffffff80265483>] print_usage_bug+0x193/0x1d0 [<ffffffff80266530>] mark_lock+0xaf0/0xca0 [<ffffffff80266735>] mark_held_locks+0x55/0xc0 [<ffffffffa0020000>] ? brd_init+0x0/0x216 [brd] [<ffffffff802667ca>] trace_reclaim_fs+0x2a/0x60 [<ffffffff80285005>] __alloc_pages_internal+0x475/0x580 [<ffffffff8070f29e>] ? mutex_lock_nested+0x26e/0x310 [<ffffffffa0020000>] ? brd_init+0x0/0x216 [brd] [<ffffffffa002006a>] brd_init+0x6a/0x216 [brd] [<ffffffffa0020000>] ? brd_init+0x0/0x216 [brd] [<ffffffff8020903b>] _stext+0x3b/0x170 [<ffffffff8070f8b9>] ? mutex_unlock+0x9/0x10 [<ffffffff8070f83d>] ? __mutex_unlock_slowpath+0x10d/0x180 [<ffffffff802669ec>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x12c/0x190 [<ffffffff80272ebf>] sys_init_module+0xaf/0x1e0 [<ffffffff8020c3fb>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

These are serious system errors, on a par with BUGs, but they're not quite emergencies, and we do our best to carry on: say KERN_ALERT "BUG: " like the x86 oops does.

badpage: vm_normal_page use print_bad_pte print_bad_pte() is so far being called only when zap_pte_range() finds negative page_mapcount, or there's a fault on a pte_file where it does not belong. That's weak coverage when we suspect pagetable corruption. Originally, it was called when vm_normal_page() found an invalid pfn: but pfn_valid is expensive on some architectures and configurations, so 2.6.24 put that under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM (which doesn't help in the field), then 2.6.26 replaced it by a VM_BUG_ON (likewise). Reinstate the print_bad_pte() in vm_normal_page(), but use a cheaper test than pfn_valid(): memmap_init_zone() (used in bootup and hotplug) keep a __read_mostly note of the highest_memmap_pfn, vm_normal_page() then check pfn against that. We could call this pfn_plausible() or pfn_sane(), but I doubt we'll need it elsewhere: of course it's not reliable, but gives much stronger pagetable validation on many boxes. Also use print_bad_pte() when the pte_special bit is found outside a VM_PFNMAP or VM_MIXEDMAP area, instead of VM_BUG_ON.

badpage: replace page_remove_rmap Eeek and BUG Now that bad pages are kept out of circulation, there is no need for the infamous page_remove_rmap() BUG() - once that page is freed, its negative mapcount will issue a "Bad page state" message and the page won't be freed. Removing the BUG() allows more info, on subsequent pages, to be gathered. We do have more info about the page at this point than bad_page() can know - notably, what the pmd is, which might pinpoint something like low 64kB corruption - but page_remove_rmap() isn't given the address to find that. In practice, there is only one call to page_remove_rmap() which has ever reported anything, that from zap_pte_range() (usually on exit, sometimes on munmap). It has all the info, so remove page_remove_rmap()'s "Eeek" message and leave it all to zap_pte_range(). mm/memory.c already has a hardly used print_bad_pte() function, showing some of the appropriate info: extend it to show what we want for the rmap case: pte info, page info (when there is a page) and vma info to compare. zap_pte_range() already knows the pmd, but print_bad_pte() is easier to use if it works that out for itself. Some of this info is also shown in bad_page()'s "Bad page state" message. Keep them separate, but adjust them to match each other as far as possible. Say "Bad page map" in print_bad_pte(), and add a TAINT_BAD_PAGE there too. print_bad_pte() show current->comm unconditionally (though it should get repeated in the usually irrelevant stack trace): sorry, I misled Nick Piggin to make it conditional on vm_mm == current->mm, but current->mm is already NULL in the exit case. Usually current->comm is good, though exceptionally it may not be that of the mm (when "swapoff" for example).

badpage: keep any bad page out of circulation Until now the bad_page() checkers have special-cased PageReserved, keeping those pages out of circulation thereafter. Now extend the special case to all: we want to keep ANY page with bad state out of circulation - the "free" page may well be in use by something. Leave the bad state of those pages untouched, for examination by debuggers; except for PageBuddy - leaving that set would risk bringing the page back.

During this time, it is also possible for a task's cpuset to expand its set of allowable nodes so that it now includes free memory. The cached copy of this set, current->mems_allowed, is stale, however, since there has not been a subsequent call to cpuset_update_task_memory_state().

memcg: allocate all page_cgroup at boot Allocate all page_cgroup at boot and remove page_cgroup poitner from struct page. This patch adds an interface as struct page_cgroup *lookup_page_cgroup(struct page*) All FLATMEM/DISCONTIGMEM/SPARSEMEM and MEMORY_HOTPLUG is supported. Remove page_cgroup pointer reduces the amount of memory by - 4 bytes per PAGE_SIZE. - 8 bytes per PAGE_SIZE if memory controller is disabled. (even if configured.) On usual 8GB x86-32 server, this saves 8MB of NORMAL_ZONE memory. On my x86-64 server with 48GB of memory, this saves 96MB of memory. I think this reduction makes sense. By pre-allocation, kmalloc/kfree in charge/uncharge are removed. This means - we're not necessary to be afraid of kmalloc faiulre. (this can happen because of gfp_mask type.) - we can avoid calling kmalloc/kfree. - we can avoid allocating tons of small objects which can be fragmented. - we can know what amount of memory will be used for this extra-lru handling. I added printk message as "allocated %ld bytes of page_cgroup" "please try cgroup_disable=memory option if you don't want" maybe enough informative for users.

mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable Make sure that mlocked pages also live on the unevictable LRU, so kswapd will not scan them over and over again. This is achieved through various strategies: 1) add yet another page flag--PG_mlocked--to indicate that the page is locked for efficient testing in vmscan and, optionally, fault path. This allows early culling of unevictable pages, preventing them from getting to page_referenced()/try_to_unmap(). Also allows separate accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch did. Note: Nick's original mlock patch used a PG_mlocked flag. I had removed this in favor of the PG_unevictable flag + an mlock_count [new page struct member]. I restored the PG_mlocked flag to eliminate the new count field. 2) add the mlock/unevictable infrastructure to mm/mlock.c, with internal APIs in mm/internal.h. This is a rework of Nick's original patch to these files, taking into account that mlocked pages are now kept on unevictable LRU list. 3) update vmscan.c:page_evictable() to check PageMlocked() and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags. Note that the vma will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path; and then only if the "cull unevictable pages in fault path" patch is included. 4) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page's rmap and ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked. Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible. This effectively replaces the use of one of the lru list links as an mlock count.

vmscan: second chance replacement for anonymous pages We avoid evicting and scanning anonymous pages for the most part, but under some workloads we can end up with most of memory filled with anonymous pages. At that point, we suddenly need to clear the referenced bits on all of memory, which can take ages on very large memory systems. We can reduce the maximum number of pages that need to be scanned by not taking the referenced state into account when deactivating an anonymous page. After all, every anonymous page starts out referenced, so why check? If an anonymous page gets referenced again before it reaches the end of the inactive list, we move it back to the active list. To keep the maximum amount of necessary work reasonable, we scale the active to inactive ratio with the size of memory, using the formula active:inactive ratio = sqrt(memory in GB * 10). Kswapd CPU use now seems to scale by the amount of pageout bandwidth, instead of by the amount of memory present in the system.

vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets Split the LRU lists in two, one set for pages that are backed by real file systems ("file") and one for pages that are backed by memory and swap ("anon"). The latter includes tmpfs. The advantage of doing this is that the VM will not have to scan over lots of anonymous pages (which we generally do not want to swap out), just to find the page cache pages that it should evict. This patch has the infrastructure and a basic policy to balance how much we scan the anon lists and how much we scan the file lists. The big policy changes are in separate patches.

define page_file_cache() function Define page_file_cache() function to answer the question: is page backed by a file? Originally part of Rik van Riel's split-lru patch. Extracted to make available for other, independent reclaim patches. Moved inline function to linux/mm_inline.h where it will be needed by subsequent "split LRU" and "noreclaim" patches. Unfortunately this needs to use a page flag, since the PG_swapbacked state needs to be preserved all the way to the point where the page is last removed from the LRU. Trying to derive the status from other info in the page resulted in wrong VM statistics in earlier split VM patchsets. The total number of page flags in use on a 32 bit machine after this patch is 19.

mm: handle initialising compound pages at orders greater than MAX_ORDER When we initialise a compound page we initialise the page flags and head page pointer for all base pages spanned by that page. When we initialise a gigantic page (a page of order greater than or equal to MAX_ORDER) we have to initialise more than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages. Currently we assume that all elements of the mem_map in this page are contigious in memory. However this is only guarenteed out to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages, and with SPARSEMEM enabled they will not be contigious. This leads us to walk off the end of the first section and scribble on everything which follows, BAD. When we reach a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary we much locate the next section of the mem_map. As gigantic pages can only be maximally aligned we know this will occur at exact multiple of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages from the start of the page. This is a bug fix for the gigantic page support in hugetlbfs. Credit to Mel Gorman for spotting the issue.

Finding no candidates, it happily continues the scan into 0x8000000-0x44000000. When a pageblock is found, the pages are moved to the MIGRATE_RESERVE list on the wrong zone.

mm: add a basic debugging framework for memory initialisation Boot initialisation is very complex, with significant numbers of architecture-specific routines, hooks and code ordering. While significant amounts of the initialisation is architecture-independent, it trusts the data received from the architecture layer. This is a mistake, and has resulted in a number of difficult-to-diagnose bugs. This patchset adds some validation and tracing to memory initialisation. It also introduces a few basic defensive measures. The validation code can be explicitly disabled for embedded systems. This patch: Add additional debugging and verification code for memory initialisation. Once enabled, the verification checks are always run and when required additional debugging information may be outputted via a mminit_loglevel= command-line parameter. The verification code is placed in a new file mm/mm_init.c. Ideally other mm initialisation code will be moved here over time.

Do not overwrite nr_zones on !NUMA when initialising zlcache_ptr The non-NUMA case of build_zonelist_cache() would initialize the zlcache_ptr for both node_zonelists[] to NULL. Which is problematic, since non-NUMA only has a single node_zonelists[] entry, and trying to zero the non-existent second one just overwrote the nr_zones field instead. As kswapd uses this value to determine what reclaim work is necessary, the result is that kswapd never reclaims. This causes processes to stall frequently in low-memory situations as they always direct reclaim. This patch initialises zlcache_ptr correctly.

mm, x86: shrink_active_range() should check all Now we are using register_e820_active_regions() instead of add_active_range() directly. So end_pfn could be different between the value in early_node_map to node_end_pfn. So we need to make shrink_active_range() smarter. shrink_active_range() is a generic MM function in mm/page_alloc.c but it is only used on 32-bit x86. Should we move it back to some file in arch/x86?

memory hotplug: fix early allocation handling Trying to add memory via add_memory() from within an initcall function results in bootmem alloc of 163840 bytes failed! Kernel panic - not syncing: Out of memory This is caused by zone_wait_table_init() which uses system_state to decide if it should use the bootmem allocator or not. When initcalls are handled the system_state is still SYSTEM_BOOTING but the bootmem allocator doesn't work anymore. So the allocation will fail. To fix this use slab_is_available() instead as indicator like we do it everywhere else.

memory_hotplug: always initialize pageblock bitmap Trying to online a new memory section that was added via memory hotplug sometimes results in crashes when the new pages are added via __free_page. Reason for that is that the pageblock bitmap isn't initialized and hence contains random stuff. That means that get_pageblock_migratetype() returns also random stuff and therefore list_add(&page->lru, &zone->free_area[order].free_list[migratetype]); in __free_one_page() tries to do a list_add to something that isn't even necessarily a list. This happens since 86051ca5eaf5e560113ec7673462804c54284456 ("mm: fix usemap initialization") which makes sure that the pageblock bitmap gets only initialized for pages present in a zone. Unfortunately for hot-added memory the zones "grow" after the memmap and the pageblock memmap have been initialized. Which means that the new pages have an unitialized bitmap. To solve this the calls to grow_zone_span() and grow_pgdat_span() are moved to __add_zone() just before the initialization happens. The patch also moves the two functions since __add_zone() is the only caller and I didn't want to add a forward declaration.

infrastructure to debug (dynamic) objects We can see an ever repeating problem pattern with objects of any kind in the kernel: 1) freeing of active objects 2) reinitialization of active objects Both problems can be hard to debug because the crash happens at a point where we have no chance to decode the root cause anymore. One problem spot are kernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt context and usually causes the machine to panic. While working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code into the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause. This debug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due to the intrusiveness into the timer code. The code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause instantly and keep the system operational. Keeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug information without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special knowledge of the bug reporter. The problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to expose it usually in a full system crash. Other objects are less explosive, but the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug. Instead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a generic infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code and provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble. The debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic objects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on object operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is freed. The tracked object operations are: - initializing an object - adding an object to a subsystem list - deleting an object from a subsystem list Each operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the subsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent the damage of the operation. When the sanity check triggers a warning message and a stack trace is printed. The list of operations can be extended if the need arises. For now it's limited to the requirements of the first user (timers). The core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets. The hash index is generated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check on kfree/vfree. Each bucket has it's own spinlock to avoid contention on a global lock. The debug code can be compiled in without being active. The runtime overhead is minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives. A kernel command line option enables the debugging code.

page allocator: smarter retry of costly-order allocations Because of page order checks in __alloc_pages(), hugepage (and similarly large order) allocations will not retry unless explicitly marked __GFP_REPEAT. However, the current retry logic is nearly an infinite loop (or until reclaim does no progress whatsoever). For these costly allocations, that seems like overkill and could potentially never terminate. Mel observed that allowing current __GFP_REPEAT semantics for hugepage allocations essentially killed the system. I believe this is because we may continue to reclaim small orders of pages all over, but never have enough to satisfy the hugepage allocation request. This is clearly only a problem for large order allocations, of which hugepages are the most obvious (to me). Modify try_to_free_pages() to indicate how many pages were reclaimed. Use that information in __alloc_pages() to eventually fail a large __GFP_REPEAT allocation when we've reclaimed an order of pages equal to or greater than the allocation's order. This relies on lumpy reclaim functioning as advertised. Due to fragmentation, lumpy reclaim may not be able to free up the order needed in one invocation, so multiple iterations may be requred. In other words, the more fragmented memory is, the more retry attempts __GFP_REPEAT will make (particularly for higher order allocations). This changes the semantics of __GFP_REPEAT subtly, but *only* for allocations > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. With this patch, for those size allocations, we will try up to some point (at least 1<<order reclaimed pages), rather than forever (which is the case for allocations <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER). This change improves the /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages interface with a follow-on patch that makes pool allocations use __GFP_REPEAT. Rather than administrators repeatedly echo'ing a particular value into the sysctl, and forcing reclaim into action manually, this change allows for the sysctl to attempt a reasonable effort itself. Similarly, dynamic pool growth should be more successful under load, as lumpy reclaim can try to free up pages, rather than failing right away. Choosing to reclaim only up to the order of the requested allocation strikes a balance between not failing hugepage allocations and returning to the caller when it's unlikely to every succeed. Because of lumpy reclaim, if we have freed the order requested, hopefully it has been in big chunks and those chunks will allow our allocation to succeed. If that isn't the case after freeing up the current order, I don't think it is likely to succeed in the future, although it is possible given a particular fragmentation pattern.

Annoyingly, the flags definition has inline and header comments, which might be interpreted as not being equivalent. Just add references to the header comments in the inline ones so they don't go out of sync in the future. In their use in __alloc_pages() clarify that the current implementation treats low-order allocations and __GFP_REPEAT allocations as distinct cases.

The pages of usemap may be necessary for other sections. If removing section is last section on the node, its section is the final user of usemap page. (usemaps are allocated on its section by previous patch.) But it shouldn't be freed too, because the section must be logical offline state which all pages are isolated against page allocater. If it is freed, page alloctor may use it which will be removed physically soon. It will be disaster. So, this patch keeps it as it is.

mm: filter based on a nodemask as well as a gfp_mask The MPOL_BIND policy creates a zonelist that is used for allocations controlled by that mempolicy. As the per-node zonelist is already being filtered based on a zone id, this patch adds a version of __alloc_pages() that takes a nodemask for further filtering. This eliminates the need for MPOL_BIND to create a custom zonelist. A positive benefit of this is that allocations using MPOL_BIND now use the local node's distance-ordered zonelist instead of a custom node-id-ordered zonelist. I.e., pages will be allocated from the closest allowed node with available memory.

mm: have zonelist contains structs with both a zone pointer and zone_idx Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx(). This is costly as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation. As the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible. The node idx could also be stored here if it was found that accessing zone->node is significant which may be the case on workloads where nodemasks are heavily used. This patch introduces a struct zoneref to store a zone pointer and a zone index. The zonelist then consists of an array of these struct zonerefs which are looked up as necessary. Helpers are given for accessing the zone index as well as the node index.

mm: use two zonelist that are filtered by GFP mask Currently a node has two sets of zonelists, one for each zone type in the system and a second set for GFP_THISNODE allocations. Based on the zones allowed by a gfp mask, one of these zonelists is selected. All of these zonelists consume memory and occupy cache lines. This patch replaces the multiple zonelists per-node with two zonelists. The first contains all populated zones in the system, ordered by distance, for fallback allocations when the target/preferred node has no free pages. The second contains all populated zones in the node suitable for GFP_THISNODE allocations. An iterator macro is introduced called for_each_zone_zonelist() that interates through each zone allowed by the GFP flags in the selected zonelist.

mm: remember what the preferred zone is for zone_statistics On NUMA, zone_statistics() is used to record events like numa hit, miss and foreign. It assumes that the first zone in a zonelist is the preferred zone. When multiple zonelists are replaced by one that is filtered, this is no longer the case. This patch records what the preferred zone is rather than assuming the first zone in the zonelist is it. This simplifies the reading of later patches in this set.

mm: introduce node_zonelist() for accessing the zonelist for a GFP mask Introduce a node_zonelist() helper function. It is used to lookup the appropriate zonelist given a node and a GFP mask. The patch on its own is a cleanup but it helps clarify parts of the two-zonelist-per-node patchset. If necessary, it can be merged with the next patch in this set without problems.

mm: use zonelists instead of zones when direct reclaiming pages The following patches replace multiple zonelists per node with two zonelists that are filtered based on the GFP flags. The patches as a set fix a bug with regard to the use of MPOL_BIND and ZONE_MOVABLE. With this patchset, the MPOL_BIND will apply to the two highest zones when the highest zone is ZONE_MOVABLE. This should be considered as an alternative fix for the MPOL_BIND+ZONE_MOVABLE in 2.6.23 to the previously discussed hack that filters only custom zonelists. The first patch cleans up an inconsistency where direct reclaim uses zonelist->zones where other places use zonelist. The second patch introduces a helper function node_zonelist() for looking up the appropriate zonelist for a GFP mask which simplifies patches later in the set. The third patch defines/remembers the "preferred zone" for numa statistics, as it is no longer always the first zone in a zonelist. The forth patch replaces multiple zonelists with two zonelists that are filtered. The two zonelists are due to the fact that the memoryless patchset introduces a second set of zonelists for __GFP_THISNODE. The fifth patch introduces helper macros for retrieving the zone and node indices of entries in a zonelist. The final patch introduces filtering of the zonelists based on a nodemask. Two zonelists exist per node, one for normal allocations and one for __GFP_THISNODE. Performance results varied depending on the machine configuration. In real workloads the gain/loss will depend on how much the userspace portion of the benchmark benefits from having more cache available due to reduced referencing of zonelists. These are the range of performance losses/gains when running against 2.6.24-rc4-mm1. The set and these machines are a mix of i386, x86_64 and ppc64 both NUMA and non-NUMA. loss to gain Total CPU time on Kernbench: -0.86% to 1.13% Elapsed time on Kernbench: -0.79% to 0.76% page_test from aim9: -4.37% to 0.79% brk_test from aim9: -0.71% to 4.07% fork_test from aim9: -1.84% to 4.60% exec_test from aim9: -0.71% to 1.08% This patch: The allocator deals with zonelists which indicate the order in which zones should be targeted for an allocation. Similarly, direct reclaim of pages iterates over an array of zones. For consistency, this patch converts direct reclaim to use a zonelist. No functionality is changed by this patch. This simplifies zonelist iterators in the next patch.

Memory controller: memory accounting Add the accounting hooks. The accounting is carried out for RSS and Page Cache (unmapped) pages. There is now a common limit and accounting for both. The RSS accounting is accounted at page_add_*_rmap() and page_remove_rmap() time. Page cache is accounted at add_to_page_cache(), __delete_from_page_cache(). Swap cache is also accounted for. Each page's page_cgroup is protected with the last bit of the page_cgroup pointer, this makes handling of race conditions involving simultaneous mappings of a page easier. A reference count is kept in the page_cgroup to deal with cases where a page might be unmapped from the RSS of all tasks, but still lives in the page cache. Credits go to Vaidyanathan Srinivasan for helping with reference counting work of the page cgroup. Almost all of the page cache accounting code has help from Vaidyanathan Srinivasan.

Page allocator: get rid of the list of cold pages We have repeatedly discussed if the cold pages still have a point. There is one way to join the two lists: Use a single list and put the cold pages at the end and the hot pages at the beginning. That way a single list can serve for both types of allocations. The discussion of the RFC for this and Mel's measurements indicate that there may not be too much of a point left to having separate lists for hot and cold pages (see http://marc.info/?t=119492914200001&r=1&w=2).

Page allocator: clean up pcp draining functions - Add comments explaing how drain_pages() works. - Eliminate useless functions - Rename drain_all_local_pages to drain_all_pages(). It does drain all pages not only those of the local processor. - Eliminate useless interrupt off / on sequences. drain_pages() disables interrupts on its own. The execution thread is pinned to processor by the caller. So there is no need to disable interrupts. - Put drain_all_pages() declaration in gfp.h and remove the declarations from suspend.h and from mm/memory_hotplug.c - Make software suspend call drain_all_pages(). The draining of processor local pages is may not the right approach if software suspend wants to support SMP. If they call drain_all_pages then we can make drain_pages() static.

mm: fix page allocation for larger I/O segments In some cases the IO subsystem is able to merge requests if the pages are adjacent in physical memory. This was achieved in the allocator by having expand() return pages in physically contiguous order in situations were a large buddy was split. However, list-based anti-fragmentation changed the order pages were returned in to avoid searching in buffered_rmqueue() for a page of the appropriate migrate type. This patch restores behaviour of rmqueue_bulk() preserving the physical order of pages returned by the allocator without incurring increased search costs for anti-fragmentation.

Fix boot problem with iSeries lacking hugepage support Ordinarily the size of a pageblock is determined at compile-time based on the hugepage size. On PPC64, the hugepage size is determined at runtime based on what is supported by the machine. With legacy machines such as iSeries that do not support hugepages, HPAGE_SHIFT is 0. This results in pageblock_order being set to -PAGE_SHIFT and a crash results shortly afterwards. This patch adds a function to select a sensible value for pageblock order by default when HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE is set. It checks that HPAGE_SHIFT is a sensible value before using the hugepage size; if it is not MAX_ORDER-1 is used. This is a fix for 2.6.24.

oom: serialize out of memory calls A final allocation attempt with a very high watermark needs to be attempted before invoking out_of_memory(). OOM killer serialization needs to occur before this final attempt, otherwise tasks attempting to OOM-lock all zones in its zonelist may spin and acquire the lock unnecessarily after the OOM condition has already been alleviated. If the final allocation does succeed, the zonelist is simply OOM-unlocked and __alloc_pages() returns the page. Otherwise, the OOM killer is invoked. If the task cannot acquire OOM-locks on all zones in its zonelist, it is put to sleep and the allocation is retried when it gets rescheduled. One of its zones is already marked as being in the OOM killer so it'll hopefully be getting some free memory soon, at least enough to satisfy a high watermark allocation attempt. This prevents needlessly killing a task when the OOM condition would have already been alleviated if it had simply been given enough time.

oom: change all_unreclaimable zone member to flags Convert the int all_unreclaimable member of struct zone to unsigned long flags. This can now be used to specify several different zone flags such as all_unreclaimable and reclaim_in_progress, which can now be removed and converted to a per-zone flag. Flags are set and cleared as follows: zone_set_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag) zone_clear_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag) Defines the first zone flags, ZONE_ALL_UNRECLAIMABLE and ZONE_RECLAIM_LOCKED, which have the same semantics as the old zone->all_unreclaimable and zone->reclaim_in_progress, respectively. Also converts all current users that set or clear either flag to use the new interface. Helper functions are defined to test the flags: int zone_is_all_unreclaimable(const struct zone *zone) int zone_is_reclaim_locked(const struct zone *zone) All flag operators are of the atomic variety because there are currently readers that are implemented that do not take zone->lock.

memory unplug: page isolation Implement generic chunk-of-pages isolation method by using page grouping ops. This patch add MIGRATE_ISOLATE to MIGRATE_TYPES. By this - MIGRATE_TYPES increases. - bitmap for migratetype is enlarged. pages of MIGRATE_ISOLATE migratetype will not be allocated even if it is free. By this, you can isolated *freed* pages from users. How-to-free pages is not a purpose of this patch. You may use reclaim and migrate codes to free pages. If start_isolate_page_range(start,end) is called, - migratetype of the range turns to be MIGRATE_ISOLATE if its type is MIGRATE_MOVABLE. (*) this check can be updated if other memory reclaiming works make progress. - MIGRATE_ISOLATE is not on migratetype fallback list. - All free pages and will-be-freed pages are isolated. To check all pages in the range are isolated or not, use test_pages_isolated(), To cancel isolation, use undo_isolate_page_range(). Changes V6 -> V7 - removed unnecessary #ifdef There are HOLES_IN_ZONE handling codes...I'm glad if we can remove them..

Rather than having special knowledge of page_private() when PageBuddy() is set, this patch places out page_order() in internal.h and adds a VM_BUG_ON to catch using it on non-PageBuddy pages.

Print out statistics in relation to fragmentation avoidance to /proc/pagetypeinfo This patch provides fragmentation avoidance statistics via /proc/pagetypeinfo. The information is collected only on request so there is no runtime overhead. The statistics are in three parts: The first part prints information on the size of blocks that pages are being grouped on and looks like Page block order: 10 Pages per block: 1024 The second part is a more detailed version of /proc/buddyinfo and looks like Free pages count per migrate type at order 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Node 0, zone DMA, type Unmovable 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Node 0, zone DMA, type Reclaimable 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Node 0, zone DMA, type Movable 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Node 0, zone DMA, type Reserve 0 4 4 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 Node 0, zone Normal, type Unmovable 111 8 4 4 2 3 1 0 0 0 0 Node 0, zone Normal, type Reclaimable 293 89 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Node 0, zone Normal, type Movable 1 6 13 9 7 6 3 0 0 0 0 Node 0, zone Normal, type Reserve 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 The third part looks like Number of blocks type Unmovable Reclaimable Movable Reserve Node 0, zone DMA 0 1 2 1 Node 0, zone Normal 3 17 94 4 To walk the zones within a node with interrupts disabled, walk_zones_in_node() is introduced and shared between /proc/buddyinfo, /proc/zoneinfo and /proc/pagetypeinfo to reduce code duplication.

Do not depend on MAX_ORDER when grouping pages by mobility Currently mobility grouping works at the MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES level. This makes sense for the majority of users where this is also the huge page size. However, on platforms like ia64 where the huge page size is runtime configurable it is desirable to group at a lower order. On x86_64 and occasionally on x86, the hugepage size may not always be MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. This patch groups pages together based on the value of HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER. It uses a compile-time constant if possible and a variable where the huge page size is runtime configurable. It is assumed that grouping should be done at the lowest sensible order and that the user would not want to override this. If this is not true, page_block order could be forced to a variable initialised via a boot-time kernel parameter. One potential issue with this patch is that IA64 now parses hugepagesz with early_param() instead of __setup(). __setup() is called after the memory allocator has been initialised and the pageblock bitmaps already setup. In tests on one IA64 there did not seem to be any problem with using early_param() and in fact may be more correct as it guarantees the parameter is handled before the parsing of hugepages=.

Fix calculation in move_freepages_block for counting pages move_freepages_block() returns the number of blocks moved. This value is used to determine if a block of pages should be stolen for the exclusive use of a migrate type or not. However, the value returned is being used correctly.

don't group high order atomic allocations Grouping high-order atomic allocations together was intended to allow bursty users of atomic allocations to work such as e1000 in situations where their preallocated buffers were depleted. This did not work in at least one case with a wireless network adapter needing order-1 allocations frequently. To resolve that, the free pages used for min_free_kbytes were moved to separate contiguous blocks with the patch bias-the-location-of-pages-freed-for-min_free_kbytes-in-the-same-max_order_nr_pages-blocks. It is felt that keeping the free pages in the same contiguous blocks should be sufficient for bursty short-lived high-order atomic allocations to succeed, maybe even with the e1000. Even if there is a failure, increasing the value of min_free_kbytes will free pages as contiguous bloks in contrast to the standard buddy allocator which makes no attempt to keep the minimum number of free pages contiguous. This patch backs out grouping high order atomic allocations together to determine if it is really needed or not. If a new report comes in about high-order atomic allocations failing, the feature can be reintroduced to determine if it fixes the problem or not. As a side-effect, this patch reduces by 1 the number of bits required to track the mobility type of pages within a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block.

Bias the location of pages freed for min_free_kbytes in the same MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES blocks The standard buddy allocator always favours the smallest block of pages. The effect of this is that the pages free to satisfy min_free_kbytes tends to be preserved since boot time at the same location of memory ffor a very long time and as a contiguous block. When an administrator sets the reserve at 16384 at boot time, it tends to be the same MAX_ORDER blocks that remain free. This allows the occasional high atomic allocation to succeed up until the point the blocks are split. In practice, it is difficult to split these blocks but when they do split, the benefit of having min_free_kbytes for contiguous blocks disappears. Additionally, increasing min_free_kbytes once the system has been running for some time has no guarantee of creating contiguous blocks. On the other hand, CONFIG_PAGE_GROUP_BY_MOBILITY favours splitting large blocks when there are no free pages of the appropriate type available. A side-effect of this is that all blocks in memory tends to be used up and the contiguous free blocks from boot time are not preserved like in the vanilla allocator. This can cause a problem if a new caller is unwilling to reclaim or does not reclaim for long enough. A failure scenario was found for a wireless network device allocating order-1 atomic allocations but the allocations were not intense or frequent enough for a whole block of pages to be preserved for MIGRATE_HIGHALLOC. This was reproduced on a desktop by booting with mem=256mb, forcing the driver to allocate at order-1, running a bittorrent client (downloading a debian ISO) and building a kernel with -j2. This patch addresses the problem on the desktop machine booted with mem=256mb. It works by setting aside a reserve of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES blocks, the number of which depends on the value of min_free_kbytes. These blocks are only fallen back to when there is no other free pages. Then the smallest possible page is used just like the normal buddy allocator instead of the largest possible page to preserve contiguous pages The pages in free lists in the reserve blocks are never taken for another migrate type. The results is that even if min_free_kbytes is set to a low value, contiguous blocks will be preserved in the MIGRATE_RESERVE blocks. This works better than the vanilla allocator because if min_free_kbytes is increased, a new reserve block will be chosen based on the location of reclaimable pages and the block will free up as contiguous pages. In the vanilla allocator, no effort is made to target a block of pages to free as contiguous pages and min_free_kbytes pages are scattered randomly. This effect has been observed on the test machine. min_free_kbytes was set initially low but it was kept as a contiguous free block within MIGRATE_RESERVE. min_free_kbytes was then set to a higher value and over a period of time, the free blocks were within the reserve and coalescing. How long it takes to free up depends on how quickly LRU is rotating. Amusingly, this means that more activity will free the blocks faster. This mechanism potentially replaces MIGRATE_HIGHALLOC as it may be more effective than grouping contiguous free pages together. It all depends on whether the number of active atomic high allocations exceeds min_free_kbytes or not. If the number of active allocations exceeds min_free_kbytes, it's worth it but maybe in that situation, min_free_kbytes should be set higher. Once there are no more reports of allocation failures, a patch will be submitted that backs out MIGRATE_HIGHALLOC and see if the reports stay missing.

Do not group pages by mobility type on low memory systems Grouping pages by mobility can only successfully operate when there are more MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES areas than mobility types. When there are insufficient areas, fallbacks cannot be avoided. This has noticeable performance impacts on machines with small amounts of memory in comparison to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. For example, on IA64 with a configuration including huge pages spans 1GiB with MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES so would need at least 4GiB of RAM before grouping pages by mobility would be useful. In comparison, an x86 would need 16MB. This patch checks the size of vm_total_pages in build_all_zonelists(). If there are not enough areas, mobility is effectivly disabled by considering all allocations as the same type (UNMOVABLE). This is achived via a __read_mostly flag. With this patch, performance is comparable to disabling grouping pages by mobility at compile-time on a test machine with insufficient memory. With this patch, it is reasonable to get rid of grouping pages by mobility a compile-time option.

Group high-order atomic allocations In rare cases, the kernel needs to allocate a high-order block of pages without sleeping. For example, this is the case with e1000 cards configured to use jumbo frames. Migrating or reclaiming pages in this situation is not an option. This patch groups these allocations together as much as possible by adding a new MIGRATE_TYPE. The MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC type are exactly what they sound like.

Group short-lived and reclaimable kernel allocations This patch marks a number of allocations that are either short-lived such as network buffers or are reclaimable such as inode allocations. When something like updatedb is called, long-lived and unmovable kernel allocations tend to be spread throughout the address space which increases fragmentation. This patch groups these allocations together as much as possible by adding a new MIGRATE_TYPE. The MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE type is for allocations that can be reclaimed on demand, but not moved. i.e. they can be migrated by deleting them and re-reading the information from elsewhere.

Choose pages from the per-cpu list based on migration type The freelists for each migrate type can slowly become polluted due to the per-cpu list. Consider what happens when the following happens 1. A 2^(MAX_ORDER-1) list is reserved for __GFP_MOVABLE pages 2. An order-0 page is allocated from the newly reserved block 3. The page is freed and placed on the per-cpu list 4. alloc_page() is called with GFP_KERNEL as the gfp_mask 5. The per-cpu list is used to satisfy the allocation This results in a kernel page is in the middle of a migratable region. This patch prevents this leak occuring by storing the MIGRATE_ type of the page in page->private. On allocate, a page will only be returned of the desired type, else more pages will be allocated. This may temporarily allow a per-cpu list to go over the pcp->high limit but it'll be corrected on the next free. Care is taken to preserve the hotness of pages recently freed. The additional code is not measurably slower for the workloads we've tested.

Add a bitmap that is used to track flags affecting a block of pages Here is the latest revision of the anti-fragmentation patches. Of particular note in this version is special treatment of high-order atomic allocations. Care is taken to group them together and avoid grouping pages of other types near them. Artifical tests imply that it works. I'm trying to get the hardware together that would allow setting up of a "real" test. If anyone already has a setup and test that can trigger the atomic-allocation problem, I'd appreciate a test of these patches and a report. The second major change is that these patches will apply cleanly with patches that implement anti-fragmentation through zones. kernbench shows effectively no performance difference varying between -0.2% and +2% on a variety of test machines. Success rates for huge page allocation are dramatically increased. For example, on a ppc64 machine, the vanilla kernel was only able to allocate 1% of memory as a hugepage and this was due to a single hugepage reserved as min_free_kbytes. With these patches applied, 17% was allocatable as superpages. With reclaim-related fixes from Andy Whitcroft, it was 40% and further reclaim-related improvements should increase this further. Changelog Since V28 o Group high-order atomic allocations together o It is no longer required to set min_free_kbytes to 10% of memory. A value of 16384 in most cases will be sufficient o Now applied with zone-based anti-fragmentation o Fix incorrect VM_BUG_ON within buffered_rmqueue() o Reorder the stack so later patches do not back out work from earlier patches o Fix bug were journal pages were being treated as movable o Bias placement of non-movable pages to lower PFNs o More agressive clustering of reclaimable pages in reactions to workloads like updatedb that flood the size of inode caches Changelog Since V27 o Renamed anti-fragmentation to Page Clustering. Anti-fragmentation was giving the mistaken impression that it was the 100% solution for high order allocations. Instead, it greatly increases the chances high-order allocations will succeed and lays the foundation for defragmentation and memory hot-remove to work properly o Redefine page groupings based on ability to migrate or reclaim instead of basing on reclaimability alone o Get rid of spurious inits o Per-cpu lists are no longer split up per-type. Instead the per-cpu list is searched for a page of the appropriate type o Added more explanation commentary o Fix up bug in pageblock code where bitmap was used before being initalised Changelog Since V26 o Fix double init of lists in setup_pageset Changelog Since V25 o Fix loop order of for_each_rclmtype_order so that order of loop matches args o gfpflags_to_rclmtype uses gfp_t instead of unsigned long o Rename get_pageblock_type() to get_page_rclmtype() o Fix alignment problem in move_freepages() o Add mechanism for assigning flags to blocks of pages instead of page->flags o On fallback, do not examine the preferred list of free pages a second time The purpose of these patches is to reduce external fragmentation by grouping pages of related types together. When pages are migrated (or reclaimed under memory pressure), large contiguous pages will be freed. This patch works by categorising allocations by their ability to migrate; Movable - The pages may be moved with the page migration mechanism. These are generally userspace pages. Reclaimable - These are allocations for some kernel caches that are reclaimable or allocations that are known to be very short-lived. Unmovable - These are pages that are allocated by the kernel that are not trivially reclaimed. For example, the memory allocated for a loaded module would be in this category. By default, allocations are considered to be of this type HighAtomic - These are high-order allocations belonging to callers that cannot sleep or perform any IO. In practice, this is restricted to jumbo frame allocation for network receive. It is assumed that the allocations are short-lived Instead of having one MAX_ORDER-sized array of free lists in struct free_area, there is one for each type of reclaimability. Once a 2^MAX_ORDER block of pages is split for a type of allocation, it is added to the free-lists for that type, in effect reserving it. Hence, over time, pages of the different types can be clustered together. When the preferred freelists are expired, the largest possible block is taken from an alternative list. Buddies that are split from that large block are placed on the preferred allocation-type freelists to mitigate fragmentation. This implementation gives best-effort for low fragmentation in all zones. Ideally, min_free_kbytes needs to be set to a value equal to 4 * (1 << (MAX_ORDER-1)) pages in most cases. This would be 16384 on x86 and x86_64 for example. Our tests show that about 60-70% of physical memory can be allocated on a desktop after a few days uptime. In benchmarks and stress tests, we are finding that 80% of memory is available as contiguous blocks at the end of the test. To compare, a standard kernel was getting < 1% of memory as large pages on a desktop and about 8-12% of memory as large pages at the end of stress tests. Following this email are 12 patches that implement thie page grouping feature. The first patch introduces a mechanism for storing flags related to a whole block of pages. Then allocations are split between movable and all other allocations. Following that are patches to deal with per-cpu pages and make the mechanism configurable. The next patch moves free pages between lists when partially allocated blocks are used for pages of another migrate type. The second last patch groups reclaimable kernel allocations such as inode caches together. The final patch related to groupings keeps high-order atomic allocations. The last two patches are more concerned with control of fragmentation. The second last patch biases placement of non-movable allocations towards the start of memory. This is with a view of supporting memory hot-remove of DIMMs with higher PFNs in the future. The biasing could be enforced a lot heavier but it would cost. The last patch agressively clusters reclaimable pages like inode caches together. The fragmentation reduction strategy needs to track if pages within a block can be moved or reclaimed so that pages are freed to the appropriate list. This patch adds a bitmap for flags affecting a whole a MAX_ORDER block of pages. In non-SPARSEMEM configurations, the bitmap is stored in the struct zone and allocated during initialisation. SPARSEMEM statically allocates the bitmap in a struct mem_section so that bitmaps do not have to be resized during memory hotadd. This wastes a small amount of memory per unused section (usually sizeof(unsigned long)) but the complexity of dynamically allocating the memory is quite high. Additional credit to Andy Whitcroft who reviewed up an earlier implementation of the mechanism an suggested how to make it a *lot* cleaner.

N_HIGH_MEMORY state mask may not be initialized at this time, unless we want to depend on early_calculate_totalpages() [see below]. Will ZONE_MOVABLE ever be configurable? mm/page_alloc.c:find_zone_movable_pfns_for_nodes() spread kernelcore over nodes with memory. This required calling early_calculate_totalpages() unconditionally, and populating N_HIGH_MEMORY node state therein from nodes in the early_node_map[]. If we can depend on this, we can eliminate the population of N_HIGH_MEMORY mask from __build_all_zonelists() and use the N_HIGH_MEMORY mask in find_next_best_node(). mm/mempolicy.c:mpol_check_policy() Ensure nodes specified for policy are subset of nodes with memory.

Memoryless nodes: Fix GFP_THISNODE behavior GFP_THISNODE checks that the zone selected is within the pgdat (node) of the first zone of a nodelist. That only works if the node has memory. A memoryless node will have its first node on another pgdat (node). GFP_THISNODE currently will return simply memory on the first pgdat. Thus it is returning memory on other nodes. GFP_THISNODE should fail if there is no local memory on a node. Add a new set of zonelists for each node that only contain the nodes that belong to the zones itself so that no fallback is possible. Then modify gfp_type to pickup the right zone based on the presence of __GFP_THISNODE. Drop the existing GFP_THISNODE checks from the page_allocators hot path.

Memoryless nodes: introduce mask of nodes with memory It is necessary to know if nodes have memory since we have recently begun to add support for memoryless nodes. For that purpose we introduce a two new node states: N_HIGH_MEMORY and N_NORMAL_MEMORY. A node has its bit in N_HIGH_MEMORY set if it has any memory regardless of the type of mmemory. If a node has memory then it has at least one zone defined in its pgdat structure that is located in the pgdat itself. A node has its bit in N_NORMAL_MEMORY set if it has a lower zone than ZONE_HIGHMEM. This means it is possible to allocate memory that is not subject to kmap. N_HIGH_MEMORY and N_NORMAL_MEMORY can then be used in various places to insure that we do the right thing when we encounter a memoryless node.

Apply memory policies to top two highest zones when highest zone is ZONE_MOVABLE The NUMA layer only supports NUMA policies for the highest zone. When ZONE_MOVABLE is configured with kernelcore=, the the highest zone becomes ZONE_MOVABLE. The result is that policies are only applied to allocations like anonymous pages and page cache allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE when the zone is used. This patch applies policies to the two highest zones when the highest zone is ZONE_MOVABLE. As ZONE_MOVABLE consists of pages from the highest "real" zone, it's always functionally equivalent. The patch has been tested on a variety of machines both NUMA and non-NUMA covering x86, x86_64 and ppc64. No abnormal results were seen in kernbench, tbench, dbench or hackbench. It passes regression tests from the numactl package with and without kernelcore= once numactl tests are patched to wait for vmstat counters to update. akpm: this is the nasty hack to fix NUMA mempolicies in the presence of ZONE_MOVABLE and kernelcore= in 2.6.23. Christoph says "For .24 either merge the mobility or get the other solution that Mel is working on. That solution would only use a single zonelist per node and filter on the fly. That may help performance and also help to make memory policies work better."

Do not trigger OOM-killer for high-order allocation failures out_of_memory() may be called when an allocation is failing and the direct reclaim is not making any progress. This does not take into account the requested order of the allocation. If the request if for an order larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER, it is reasonable to fail the allocation because the kernel makes no guarantees about those allocations succeeding. This false OOM situation can occur if a user is trying to grow the hugepage pool in a script like; #!/bin/bash REQUIRED=$1 echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/hugepages_treat_as_movable echo $REQUIRED > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages ACTUAL=`cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages` while [ $REQUIRED -ne $ACTUAL ]; do echo Huge page pool at $ACTUAL growing to $REQUIRED echo $REQUIRED > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages ACTUAL=`cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages` sleep 1 done This is a reasonable scenario when ZONE_MOVABLE is in use but triggers OOM easily on 2.6.23-rc1. This patch will fail an allocation for an order above PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER instead of killing processes and retrying.

Introduce CONFIG_SUSPEND for suspend-to-Ram and standby Introduce CONFIG_SUSPEND representing the ability to enter system sleep states, such as the ACPI S3 state, and allow the user to choose SUSPEND and HIBERNATION independently of each other. Make HOTPLUG_CPU be selected automatically if SUSPEND or HIBERNATION has been chosen and the kernel is intended for SMP systems. Also, introduce CONFIG_PM_SLEEP which is automatically selected if CONFIG_SUSPEND or CONFIG_HIBERNATION is set and use it to select the code needed for both suspend and hibernation. The top-level power management headers and the ACPI code related to suspend and hibernation are modified to use the new definitions (the changes in drivers/acpi/sleep/main.c are, mostly, moving code to reduce the number of ifdefs). There are many other files in which CONFIG_PM can be replaced with CONFIG_PM_SLEEP or even with CONFIG_SUSPEND, but they can be updated in the future. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Allow nodes to exist that only contain ZONE_MOVABLE With the introduction of kernelcore=, a configurable zone is created on request. In some cases, this value will be small enough that some nodes contain only ZONE_MOVABLE. On some NUMA configurations when this occurs, arch-independent zone-sizing will get the size of the memory holes within the node incorrect. The value of present_pages goes negative and the boot fails. This patch fixes the bug in the calculation of the size of the hole. The test case is to boot test a NUMA machine with a low value of kernelcore= before and after the patch is applied. While this bug exists in early kernel it cannot be triggered in practice. This patch has been boot-tested on a variety machines with and without kernelcore= set.

mm: share PG_readahead and PG_reclaim Share the same page flag bit for PG_readahead and PG_reclaim. One is used only on file reads, another is only for emergency writes. One is used mostly for fresh/young pages, another is for old pages. Combinations of possible interactions are: a) clear PG_reclaim => implicit clear of PG_readahead it will delay an asynchronous readahead into a synchronous one it actually does _good_ for readahead: the pages will be reclaimed soon, it's readahead thrashing! in this case, synchronous readahead makes more sense. b) clear PG_readahead => implicit clear of PG_reclaim one(and only one) page will not be reclaimed in time it can be avoided by checking PageWriteback(page) in readahead first c) set PG_reclaim => implicit set of PG_readahead will confuse readahead and make it restart the size rampup process it's a trivial problem, and can mostly be avoided by checking PageWriteback(page) first in readahead d) set PG_readahead => implicit set of PG_reclaim PG_readahead will never be set on already cached pages. PG_reclaim will always be cleared on dirtying a page. so not a problem. In summary, a) we get better behavior b,d) possible interactions can be avoided c) racy condition exists that might affect readahead, but the chance is _really_ low, and the hurt on readahead is trivial. Compound pages also use PG_reclaim, but for now they do not interact with reclaim/readahead code.

knfsd: nfsd4: vary maximum delegation limit based on RAM size Our original NFSv4 delegation policy was to give out a read delegation on any open when it was possible to. Since the lifetime of a delegation isn't limited to that of an open, a client may quite reasonably hang on to a delegation as long as it has the inode cached. This becomes an obvious problem the first time a client's inode cache approaches the size of the server's total memory. Our first quick solution was to add a hard-coded limit. This patch makes a mild incremental improvement by varying that limit according to the server's total memory size, allowing at most 4 delegations per megabyte of RAM. My quick back-of-the-envelope calculation finds that in the worst case (where every delegation is for a different inode), a delegation could take about 1.5K, which would make the worst case usage about 6% of memory. The new limit works out to be about the same as the old on a 1-gig server.

Lumpy Reclaim V4 When we are out of memory of a suitable size we enter reclaim. The current reclaim algorithm targets pages in LRU order, which is great for fairness at order-0 but highly unsuitable if you desire pages at higher orders. To get pages of higher order we must shoot down a very high proportion of memory; >95% in a lot of cases. This patch set adds a lumpy reclaim algorithm to the allocator. It targets groups of pages at the specified order anchored at the end of the active and inactive lists. This encourages groups of pages at the requested orders to move from active to inactive, and active to free lists. This behaviour is only triggered out of direct reclaim when higher order pages have been requested. This patch set is particularly effective when utilised with an anti-fragmentation scheme which groups pages of similar reclaimability together. This patch set is based on Peter Zijlstra's lumpy reclaim V2 patch which forms the foundation. Credit to Mel Gorman for sanitity checking. Mel said: The patches have an application with hugepage pool resizing. When lumpy-reclaim is used used with ZONE_MOVABLE, the hugepages pool can be resized with greater reliability. Testing on a desktop machine with 2GB of RAM showed that growing the hugepage pool with ZONE_MOVABLE on it's own was very slow as the success rate was quite low. Without lumpy-reclaim, each attempt to grow the pool by 100 pages would yield 1 or 2 hugepages. With lumpy-reclaim, getting 40 to 70 hugepages on each attempt was typical.

Add a movablecore= parameter for sizing ZONE_MOVABLE This patch adds a new parameter for sizing ZONE_MOVABLE called movablecore=. While kernelcore= is used to specify the minimum amount of memory that must be available for all allocation types, movablecore= is used to specify the minimum amount of memory that is used for migratable allocations. The amount of memory used for migratable allocations determines how large the huge page pool could be dynamically resized to at runtime for example. How movablecore is actually handled is that the total number of pages in the system is calculated and a value is set for kernelcore that is kernelcore == totalpages - movablecore Both kernelcore= and movablecore= can be safely specified at the same time.

Create the ZONE_MOVABLE zone The following 8 patches against 2.6.20-mm2 create a zone called ZONE_MOVABLE that is only usable by allocations that specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE. This has the effect of keeping all non-movable pages within a single memory partition while allowing movable allocations to be satisfied from either partition. The patches may be applied with the list-based anti-fragmentation patches that groups pages together based on mobility. The size of the zone is determined by a kernelcore= parameter specified at boot-time. This specifies how much memory is usable by non-movable allocations and the remainder is used for ZONE_MOVABLE. Any range of pages within ZONE_MOVABLE can be released by migrating the pages or by reclaiming. When selecting a zone to take pages from for ZONE_MOVABLE, there are two things to consider. First, only memory from the highest populated zone is used for ZONE_MOVABLE. On the x86, this is probably going to be ZONE_HIGHMEM but it would be ZONE_DMA on ppc64 or possibly ZONE_DMA32 on x86_64. Second, the amount of memory usable by the kernel will be spread evenly throughout NUMA nodes where possible. If the nodes are not of equal size, the amount of memory usable by the kernel on some nodes may be greater than others. By default, the zone is not as useful for hugetlb allocations because they are pinned and non-migratable (currently at least). A sysctl is provided that allows huge pages to be allocated from that zone. This means that the huge page pool can be resized to the size of ZONE_MOVABLE during the lifetime of the system assuming that pages are not mlocked. Despite huge pages being non-movable, we do not introduce additional external fragmentation of note as huge pages are always the largest contiguous block we care about. Credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for catching a large variety of problems during review of the patches. This patch creates an additional zone, ZONE_MOVABLE.

change zonelist order: zonelist order selection logic Make zonelist creation policy selectable from sysctl/boot option v6. This patch makes NUMA's zonelist (of pgdat) order selectable. Available order are Default(automatic)/ Node-based / Zone-based. [Default Order] The kernel selects Node-based or Zone-based order automatically. [Node-based Order] This policy treats the locality of memory as the most important parameter. Zonelist order is created by each zone's locality. This means lower zones (ex. ZONE_DMA) can be used before higher zone (ex. ZONE_NORMAL) exhausion. IOW. ZONE_DMA will be in the middle of zonelist. current 2.6.21 kernel uses this. Pros. * A user can expect local memory as much as possible. Cons. * lower zone will be exhansted before higher zone. This may cause OOM_KILL. Maybe suitable if ZONE_DMA is relatively big and you never see OOM_KILL because of ZONE_DMA exhaution and you need the best locality. (example) assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL. *node(0)'s memory allocation order: node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA -> node(1)'s NORMAL. *node(1)'s memory allocation order: node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA. [Zone-based order] This policy treats the zone type as the most important parameter. Zonelist order is created by zone-type order. This means lower zone never be used bofere higher zone exhaustion. IOW. ZONE_DMA will be always at the tail of zonelist. Pros. * OOM_KILL(bacause of lower zone) occurs only if the whole zones are exhausted. Cons. * memory locality may not be best. (example) assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL. *node(0)'s memory allocation order: node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA. *node(1)'s memory allocation order: node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA. bootoption "numa_zonelist_order=" and proc/sysctl is supporetd. command: %echo N > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order Will rebuild zonelist in Node-based order. command: %echo Z > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order Will rebuild zonelist in Zone-based order.

mm: Fix memory/cpu hotplug section mismatch and oops. When building with memory hotplug enabled and cpu hotplug disabled, we end up with the following section mismatch: WARNING: mm/built-in.o(.text+0x4e58): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: (between 'free_area_init_node' and '__build_all_zonelists') This happens as a result of: -> free_area_init_node() -> free_area_init_core() -> zone_pcp_init() <-- all __meminit up to this point -> zone_batchsize() <-- marked as __cpuinit fo This happens because CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n sets __cpuinit to __init, but CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y unsets __meminit. Changing zone_batchsize() to __devinit fixes this. __devinit is the only thing that is common between CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y and CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y. In the long run, perhaps this should be moved to another section identifier completely.

Move remote node draining out of slab allocators Currently the slab allocators contain callbacks into the page allocator to perform the draining of pagesets on remote nodes. This requires SLUB to have a whole subsystem in order to be compatible with SLAB. Moving node draining out of the slab allocators avoids a section of code in SLUB. Move the node draining so that is is done when the vm statistics are updated. At that point we are already touching all the cachelines with the pagesets of a processor. Add a expire counter there. If we have to update per zone or global vm statistics then assume that the pageset will require subsequent draining. The expire counter will be decremented on each vm stats update pass until it reaches zero. Then we will drain one batch from the pageset. The draining will cause vm counter updates which will then cause another expiration until the pcp is empty. So we will drain a batch every 3 seconds. Note that remote node draining is a somewhat esoteric feature that is required on large NUMA systems because otherwise significant portions of system memory can become trapped in pcp queues. The number of pcp is determined by the number of processors and nodes in a system. A system with 4 processors and 2 nodes has 8 pcps which is okay. But a system with 1024 processors and 512 nodes has 512k pcps with a high potential for large amount of memory being caught in them.

Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplug Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal" ones).

Add white list into modpost.c for memory hotplug code and ia64's machvec section This patch is add white list into modpost.c for some functions and ia64's section to fix section mismatchs. sparse_index_alloc() and zone_wait_table_init() calls bootmem allocator at boot time, and kmalloc/vmalloc at hotplug time. If config memory hotplug is on, there are references of bootmem allocater(init text) from them (normal text). This is cause of section mismatch. Bootmem is called by many functions and it must be used only at boot time. I think __init of them should keep for section mismatch check. So, I would like to register sparse_index_alloc() and zone_wait_table_init() into white list. In addition, ia64's .machvec section is function table of some platform dependent code. It is mixture of .init.text and normal text. These reference of __init functions are valid too.

Make page->private usable in compound pages If we add a new flag so that we can distinguish between the first page and the tail pages then we can avoid to use page->private in the first page. page->private == page for the first page, so there is no real information in there. Freeing up page->private makes the use of compound pages more transparent. They become more usable like real pages. Right now we have to be careful f.e. if we are going beyond PAGE_SIZE allocations in the slab on i386 because we can then no longer use the private field. This is one of the issues that cause us not to support debugging for page size slabs in SLAB. Having page->private available for SLUB would allow more meta information in the page struct. I can probably avoid the 16 bit ints that I have in there right now. Also if page->private is available then a compound page may be equipped with buffer heads. This may free up the way for filesystems to support larger blocks than page size. We add PageTail as an alias of PageReclaim. Compound pages cannot currently be reclaimed. Because of the alias one needs to check PageCompound first.

Do not disable interrupts when reading min_free_kbytes The sysctl handler for min_free_kbytes calls setup_per_zone_pages_min() on read or write. This function iterates through every zone and calls spin_lock_irqsave() on the zone LRU lock. When reading min_free_kbytes, this is a total waste of time that disables interrupts on the local processor. It might even be noticable machines with large numbers of zones if a process started constantly reading min_free_kbytes. This patch only calls setup_per_zone_pages_min() only on write.

add pfn_valid_within helper for sub-MAX_ORDER hole detection Generally we work under the assumption that memory the mem_map array is contigious and valid out to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block of pages, ie. that if we have validated any page within this MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block we need not check any other. This is not true when CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is set and we must check each and every reference we make from a pfn. Add a pfn_valid_within() helper which should be used when scanning pages within a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block when we have already checked the validility of the block normally with pfn_valid(). This can then be optimised away when we do not have holes within a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block of pages.

Safer nr_node_ids and nr_node_ids determination and initial values The nr_cpu_ids value is currently only calculated in smp_init. However, it may be needed before (SLUB needs it on kmem_cache_init!) and other kernel components may also want to allocate dynamically sized per cpu array before smp_init. So move the determination of possible cpus into sched_init() where we already loop over all possible cpus early in boot. Also initialize both nr_node_ids and nr_cpu_ids with the highest value they could take. If we have accidental users before these values are determined then the current valud of 0 may cause too small per cpu and per node arrays to be allocated. If it is set to the maximum possible then we only waste some memory for early boot users.

[PATCH] slab: reduce size of alien cache to cover only possible nodes The alien cache is a per cpu per node array allocated for every slab on the system. Currently we size this array for all nodes that the kernel does support. For IA64 this is 1024 nodes. So we allocate an array with 1024 objects even if we only boot a system with 4 nodes. This patch uses "nr_node_ids" to determine the number of possible nodes supported by a hardware configuration and only allocates an alien cache sized for possible nodes. The initialization of nr_node_ids occurred too late relative to the bootstrap of the slab allocator and so I moved the setup_nr_node_ids() into free_area_init_nodes().

[PATCH] Replace highest_possible_node_id() with nr_node_ids highest_possible_node_id() is currently used to calculate the last possible node idso that the network subsystem can figure out how to size per node arrays. I think having the ability to determine the maximum amount of nodes in a system at runtime is useful but then we should name this entry correspondingly, it should return the number of node_ids, and the the value needs to be setup only once on bootup. The node_possible_map does not change after bootup. This patch introduces nr_node_ids and replaces the use of highest_possible_node_id(). nr_node_ids is calculated on bootup when the page allocators pagesets are initialized.

[PATCH] optional ZONE_DMA: deal with cases of ZONE_DMA meaning the first zone This patchset follows up on the earlier work in Andrew's tree to reduce the number of zones. The patches allow to go to a minimum of 2 zones. This one allows also to make ZONE_DMA optional and therefore the number of zones can be reduced to one. ZONE_DMA is usually used for ISA DMA devices. There are a number of reasons why we would not want to have ZONE_DMA 1. Some arches do not need ZONE_DMA at all. 2. With the advent of IOMMUs DMA zones are no longer needed. The necessity of DMA zones may drastically be reduced in the future. This patchset allows a compilation of a kernel without that overhead. 3. Devices that require ISA DMA get rare these days. All my systems do not have any need for ISA DMA. 4. The presence of an additional zone unecessarily complicates VM operations because it must be scanned and balancing logic must operate on its. 5. With only ZONE_NORMAL one can reach the situation where we have only one zone. This will allow the unrolling of many loops in the VM and allows the optimization of varous code paths in the VM. 6. Having only a single zone in a NUMA system results in a 1-1 correspondence between nodes and zones. Various additional optimizations to critical VM paths become possible. Many systems today can operate just fine with a single zone. If you look at what is in ZONE_DMA then one usually sees that nothing uses it. The DMA slabs are empty (Some arches use ZONE_DMA instead of ZONE_NORMAL, then ZONE_NORMAL will be empty instead). On all of my systems (i386, x86_64, ia64) ZONE_DMA is completely empty. Why constantly look at an empty zone in /proc/zoneinfo and empty slab in /proc/slabinfo? Non i386 also frequently have no need for ZONE_DMA and zones stay empty. The patchset was tested on i386 (UP / SMP), x86_64 (UP, NUMA) and ia64 (NUMA). The RFC posted earlier (see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=115231723513008&w=2) had lots of #ifdefs in them. An effort has been made to minize the number of #ifdefs and make this as compact as possible. The job was made much easier by the ongoing efforts of others to extract common arch specific functionality. I have been running this for awhile now on my desktop and finally Linux is using all my available RAM instead of leaving the 16MB in ZONE_DMA untouched: christoph@pentium940:~$ cat /proc/zoneinfo Node 0, zone Normal pages free 4435 min 1448 low 1810 high 2172 active 241786 inactive 210170 scanned 0 (a: 0 i: 0) spanned 524224 present 524224 nr_anon_pages 61680 nr_mapped 14271 nr_file_pages 390264 nr_slab_reclaimable 27564 nr_slab_unreclaimable 1793 nr_page_table_pages 449 nr_dirty 39 nr_writeback 0 nr_unstable 0 nr_bounce 0 cpu: 0 pcp: 0 count: 156 high: 186 batch: 31 cpu: 0 pcp: 1 count: 9 high: 62 batch: 15 vm stats threshold: 20 cpu: 1 pcp: 0 count: 177 high: 186 batch: 31 cpu: 1 pcp: 1 count: 12 high: 62 batch: 15 vm stats threshold: 20 all_unreclaimable: 0 prev_priority: 12 temp_priority: 12 start_pfn: 0 This patch: In two places in the VM we use ZONE_DMA to refer to the first zone. If ZONE_DMA is optional then other zones may be first. So simply replace ZONE_DMA with zone 0. This also fixes ZONETABLE_PGSHIFT. If we have only a single zone then ZONES_PGSHIFT may become 0 because there is no need anymore to encode the zone number related to a pgdat. However, we still need a zonetable to index all the zones for each node if this is a NUMA system. Therefore define ZONETABLE_SHIFT unconditionally as the offset of the ZONE field in page flags.

[PATCH] Use ZVC for inactive and active counts The determination of the dirty ratio to determine writeback behavior is currently based on the number of total pages on the system. However, not all pages in the system may be dirtied. Thus the ratio is always too low and can never reach 100%. The ratio may be particularly skewed if large hugepage allocations, slab allocations or device driver buffers make large sections of memory not available anymore. In that case we may get into a situation in which f.e. the background writeback ratio of 40% cannot be reached anymore which leads to undesired writeback behavior. This patchset fixes that issue by determining the ratio based on the actual pages that may potentially be dirty. These are the pages on the active and the inactive list plus free pages. The problem with those counts has so far been that it is expensive to calculate these because counts from multiple nodes and multiple zones will have to be summed up. This patchset makes these counters ZVC counters. This means that a current sum per zone, per node and for the whole system is always available via global variables and not expensive anymore to calculate. The patchset results in some other good side effects: - Removal of the various functions that sum up free, active and inactive page counts - Cleanup of the functions that display information via the proc filesystem. This patch: The use of a ZVC for nr_inactive and nr_active allows a simplification of some counter operations. More ZVC functionality is used for sums etc in the following patches.

[PATCH] Check for populated zone in __drain_pages Both process_zones() and drain_node_pages() check for populated zones before touching pagesets. However, __drain_pages does not do so, This may result in a NULL pointer dereference for pagesets in unpopulated zones if a NUMA setup is combined with cpu hotplug. Initially the unpopulated zone has the pcp pointers pointing to the boot pagesets. Since the zone is not populated the boot pageset pointers will not be changed during page allocator and slab bootstrap. If a cpu is later brought down (first call to __drain_pages()) then the pcp pointers for cpus in unpopulated zones are set to NULL since __drain_pages does not first check for an unpopulated zone. If the cpu is then brought up again then we call process_zones() which will ignore the unpopulated zone. So the pageset pointers will still be NULL. If the cpu is then again brought down then __drain_pages will attempt to drain pages by following the NULL pageset pointer for unpopulated zones.

[PATCH] cpuset: rework cpuset_zone_allowed api Elaborate the API for calling cpuset_zone_allowed(), so that users have to explicitly choose between the two variants: cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall() cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() Until now, whether or not you got the hardwall flavor depended solely on whether or not you or'd in the __GFP_HARDWALL gfp flag to the gfp_mask argument. If you didn't specify __GFP_HARDWALL, you implicitly got the softwall version. Unfortunately, this meant that users would end up with the softwall version without thinking about it. Since only the softwall version might sleep, this led to bugs with possible sleeping in interrupt context on more than one occassion. The hardwall version requires that the current tasks mems_allowed allows the node of the specified zone (or that you're in interrupt or that __GFP_THISNODE is set or that you're on a one cpuset system.) The softwall version, depending on the gfp_mask, might allow a node if it was allowed in the nearest enclusing cpuset marked mem_exclusive (which requires taking the cpuset lock 'callback_mutex' to evaluate.) This patch removes the cpuset_zone_allowed() call, and forces the caller to explicitly choose between the hardwall and the softwall case. If the caller wants the gfp_mask to determine this choice, they should (1) be sure they can sleep or that __GFP_HARDWALL is set, and (2) invoke the cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine. This adds another 100 or 200 bytes to the kernel text space, due to the few lines of nearly duplicate code at the top of both cpuset_zone_allowed_* routines. It should save a few instructions executed for the calls that turned into calls of cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall, thanks to not having to set (before the call) then check (within the call) the __GFP_HARDWALL flag. For the most critical call, from get_page_from_freelist(), the same instructions are executed as before -- the old cpuset_zone_allowed() routine it used to call is the same code as the cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine that it calls now. Not a perfect win, but seems worth it, to reduce this chance of hitting a sleeping with irq off complaint again.

[PATCH] LOG2: Implement a general integer log2 facility in the kernel This facility provides three entry points: ilog2() Log base 2 of unsigned long ilog2_u32() Log base 2 of u32 ilog2_u64() Log base 2 of u64 These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data: int do_something(long q) { ...; y = ilog2(x) ...; } Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values: unsigned n = ilog2(27); When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error: initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of something not reducible to a constant. They treat negative numbers as unsigned. When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

[PATCH] GFP_THISNODE must not trigger global reclaim The intent of GFP_THISNODE is to make sure that an allocation occurs on a particular node. If this is not possible then NULL needs to be returned so that the caller can choose what to do next on its own (the slab allocator depends on that). However, GFP_THISNODE currently triggers reclaim before returning a failure (GFP_THISNODE means GFP_NORETRY is set). If we have over allocated a node then we will currently do some reclaim before returning NULL. The caller may want memory from other nodes before reclaim should be triggered. (If the caller wants reclaim then he can directly use __GFP_THISNODE instead). There is no flag to avoid reclaim in the page allocator and adding yet another GFP_xx flag would be difficult given that we are out of available flags. So just compare and see if all bits for GFP_THISNODE (__GFP_THISNODE, __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWARN) are set. If so then we return NULL before waking up kswapd.

[PATCH] memory page_alloc zonelist caching speedup Optimize the critical zonelist scanning for free pages in the kernel memory allocator by caching the zones that were found to be full recently, and skipping them. Remembers the zones in a zonelist that were short of free memory in the last second. And it stashes a zone-to-node table in the zonelist struct, to optimize that conversion (minimize its cache footprint.) Recent changes: This differs in a significant way from a similar patch that I posted a week ago. Now, instead of having a nodemask_t of recently full nodes, I have a bitmask of recently full zones. This solves a problem that last weeks patch had, which on systems with multiple zones per node (such as DMA zone) would take seeing any of these zones full as meaning that all zones on that node were full. Also I changed names - from "zonelist faster" to "zonelist cache", as that seemed to better convey what we're doing here - caching some of the key zonelist state (for faster access.) See below for some performance benchmark results. After all that discussion with David on why I didn't need them, I went and got some ;). I wanted to verify that I had not hurt the normal case of memory allocation noticeably. At least for my one little microbenchmark, I found (1) the normal case wasn't affected, and (2) workloads that forced scanning across multiple nodes for memory improved up to 10% fewer System CPU cycles and lower elapsed clock time ('sys' and 'real'). Good. See details, below. I didn't have the logic in get_page_from_freelist() for various full nodes and zone reclaim failures correct. That should be fixed up now - notice the new goto labels zonelist_scan, this_zone_full, and try_next_zone, in get_page_from_freelist(). There are two reasons I persued this alternative, over some earlier proposals that would have focused on optimizing the fake numa emulation case by caching the last useful zone: 1) Contrary to what I said before, we (SGI, on large ia64 sn2 systems) have seen real customer loads where the cost to scan the zonelist was a problem, due to many nodes being full of memory before we got to a node we could use. Or at least, I think we have. This was related to me by another engineer, based on experiences from some time past. So this is not guaranteed. Most likely, though. The following approach should help such real numa systems just as much as it helps fake numa systems, or any combination thereof. 2) The effort to distinguish fake from real numa, using node_distance, so that we could cache a fake numa node and optimize choosing it over equivalent distance fake nodes, while continuing to properly scan all real nodes in distance order, was going to require a nasty blob of zonelist and node distance munging. The following approach has no new dependency on node distances or zone sorting. See comment in the patch below for a description of what it actually does. Technical details of note (or controversy): - See the use of "zlc_active" and "did_zlc_setup" below, to delay adding any work for this new mechanism until we've looked at the first zone in zonelist. I figured the odds of the first zone having the memory we needed were high enough that we should just look there, first, then get fancy only if we need to keep looking. - Some odd hackery was needed to add items to struct zonelist, while not tripping up the custom zonelists built by the mm/mempolicy.c code for MPOL_BIND. My usual wordy comments below explain this. Search for "MPOL_BIND". - Some per-node data in the struct zonelist is now modified frequently, with no locking. Multiple CPU cores on a node could hit and mangle this data. The theory is that this is just performance hint data, and the memory allocator will work just fine despite any such mangling. The fields at risk are the struct 'zonelist_cache' fields 'fullzones' (a bitmask) and 'last_full_zap' (unsigned long jiffies). It should all be self correcting after at most a one second delay. - This still does a linear scan of the same lengths as before. All I've optimized is making the scan faster, not algorithmically shorter. It is now able to scan a compact array of 'unsigned short' in the case of many full nodes, so one cache line should cover quite a few nodes, rather than each node hitting another one or two new and distinct cache lines. - If both Andi and Nick don't find this too complicated, I will be (pleasantly) flabbergasted. - I removed the comment claiming we only use one cachline's worth of zonelist. We seem, at least in the fake numa case, to have put the lie to that claim. - I pay no attention to the various watermarks and such in this performance hint. A node could be marked full for one watermark, and then skipped over when searching for a page using a different watermark. I think that's actually quite ok, as it will tend to slightly increase the spreading of memory over other nodes, away from a memory stressed node. =============== Performance - some benchmark results and analysis: This benchmark runs a memory hog program that uses multiple threads to touch alot of memory as quickly as it can. Multiple runs were made, touching 12, 38, 64 or 90 GBytes out of the total 96 GBytes on the system, and using 1, 19, 37, or 55 threads (on a 56 CPU system.) System, user and real (elapsed) timings were recorded for each run, shown in units of seconds, in the table below. Two kernels were tested - 2.6.18-mm3 and the same kernel with this zonelist caching patch added. The table also shows the percentage improvement the zonelist caching sys time is over (lower than) the stock *-mm kernel. number 2.6.18-mm3 zonelist-cache delta (< 0 good) percent GBs N ------------ -------------- ---------------- systime mem threads sys user real sys user real sys user real better 12 1 153 24 177 151 24 176 -2 0 -1 1% 12 19 99 22 8 99 22 8 0 0 0 0% 12 37 111 25 6 112 25 6 1 0 0 -0% 12 55 115 25 5 110 23 5 -5 -2 0 4% 38 1 502 74 576 497 73 570 -5 -1 -6 0% 38 19 426 78 48 373 76 39 -53 -2 -9 12% 38 37 544 83 36 547 82 36 3 -1 0 -0% 38 55 501 77 23 511 80 24 10 3 1 -1% 64 1 917 125 1042 890 124 1014 -27 -1 -28 2% 64 19 1118 138 119 965 141 103 -153 3 -16 13% 64 37 1202 151 94 1136 150 81 -66 -1 -13 5% 64 55 1118 141 61 1072 140 58 -46 -1 -3 4% 90 1 1342 177 1519 1275 174 1450 -67 -3 -69 4% 90 19 2392 199 192 2116 189 176 -276 -10 -16 11% 90 37 3313 238 175 2972 225 145 -341 -13 -30 10% 90 55 1948 210 104 1843 213 100 -105 3 -4 5% Notes: 1) This test ran a memory hog program that started a specified number N of threads, and had each thread allocate and touch 1/N'th of the total memory to be used in the test run in a single loop, writing a constant word to memory, one store every 4096 bytes. Watching this test during some earlier trial runs, I would see each of these threads sit down on one CPU and stay there, for the remainder of the pass, a different CPU for each thread. 2) The 'real' column is not comparable to the 'sys' or 'user' columns. The 'real' column is seconds wall clock time elapsed, from beginning to end of that test pass. The 'sys' and 'user' columns are total CPU seconds spent on that test pass. For a 19 thread test run, for example, the sum of 'sys' and 'user' could be up to 19 times the number of 'real' elapsed wall clock seconds. 3) Tests were run on a fresh, single-user boot, to minimize the amount of memory already in use at the start of the test, and to minimize the amount of background activity that might interfere. 4) Tests were done on a 56 CPU, 28 Node system with 96 GBytes of RAM. 5) Notice that the 'real' time gets large for the single thread runs, even though the measured 'sys' and 'user' times are modest. I'm not sure what that means - probably something to do with it being slow for one thread to be accessing memory along ways away. Perhaps the fake numa system, running ostensibly the same workload, would not show this substantial degradation of 'real' time for one thread on many nodes -- lets hope not. 6) The high thread count passes (one thread per CPU - on 55 of 56 CPUs) ran quite efficiently, as one might expect. Each pair of threads needed to allocate and touch the memory on the node the two threads shared, a pleasantly parallizable workload. 7) The intermediate thread count passes, when asking for alot of memory forcing them to go to a few neighboring nodes, improved the most with this zonelist caching patch. Conclusions: * This zonelist cache patch probably makes little difference one way or the other for most workloads on real numa hardware, if those workloads avoid heavy off node allocations. * For memory intensive workloads requiring substantial off-node allocations on real numa hardware, this patch improves both kernel and elapsed timings up to ten per-cent. * For fake numa systems, I'm optimistic, but will have to leave that up to Rohit Seth to actually test (once I get him a 2.6.18 backport.)

[PATCH] Get rid of zone_table[] The zone table is mostly not needed. If we have a node in the page flags then we can get to the zone via NODE_DATA() which is much more likely to be already in the cpu cache. In case of SMP and UP NODE_DATA() is a constant pointer which allows us to access an exact replica of zonetable in the node_zones field. In all of the above cases there will be no need at all for the zone table. The only remaining case is if in a NUMA system the node numbers do not fit into the page flags. In that case we make sparse generate a table that maps sections to nodes and use that table to to figure out the node number. This table is sized to fit in a single cache line for the known 32 bit NUMA platform which makes it very likely that the information can be obtained without a cache miss. For sparsemem the zone table seems to be have been fairly large based on the maximum possible number of sections and the number of zones per node. There is some memory saving by removing zone_table. The main benefit is to reduce the cache foootprint of the VM from the frequent lookups of zones. Plus it simplifies the page allocator.

[PATCH] memory page alloc minor cleanups - s/freeliest/freelist/ spelling fix - Check for NULL *z zone seems useless - even if it could happen, so what? Perhaps we should have a check later on if we are faced with an allocation request that is not allowed to fail - shouldn't that be a serious kernel error, passing an empty zonelist with a mandate to not fail? - Initializing 'z' to zonelist->zones can wait until after the first get_page_from_freelist() fails; we only use 'z' in the wakeup_kswapd() loop, so let's initialize 'z' there, in a 'for' loop. Seems clearer. - Remove superfluous braces around a break - Fix a couple errant spaces - Adjust indentation on the cpuset_zone_allowed() check, to match the lines just before it -- seems easier to read in this case. - Add another set of braces to the zone_watermark_ok logic From: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com> Backout one item from a previous "memory page_alloc minor cleanups" patch. Until and unless we are certain that no one can ever pass an empty zonelist to __alloc_pages(), this check for an empty zonelist (or some BUG equivalent) is essential. The code in get_page_from_freelist() blow ups if passed an empty zonelist.

[PATCH] x86_64: fix bad page state in process 'swapper' find_min_pfn_for_node() and find_min_pfn_with_active_regions() both depend on a sorted early_node_map[]. However, sort_node_map() is being called after fin_min_pfn_with_active_regions() in free_area_init_nodes(). In most cases, this is ok, but on at least one x86_64, the SRAT table caused the E820 ranges to be registered out of order. This gave the wrong values for the min PFN range resulting in some pages not being initialised. This patch sorts the early_node_map in find_min_pfn_for_node().

[PATCH] Calculation fix for memory holes beyong the end of physical memory absent_pages_in_range() made the assumption that users of the arch-independent zone-sizing API would not care about holes beyound the end of physical memory. This was not the case and was "fixed" in a patch called "Account for holes that are outside the range of physical memory". However, when given a range that started before a hole in "real" memory and ended beyond the end of memory, it would get the result wrong. The bug is in mainline but a patch is below. It has been tested successfully on a number of machines and architectures.

[PATCH] vmscan: Fix temp_priority race The temp_priority field in zone is racy, as we can walk through a reclaim path, and just before we copy it into prev_priority, it can be overwritten (say with DEF_PRIORITY) by another reclaimer. The same bug is contained in both try_to_free_pages and balance_pgdat, but it is fixed slightly differently. In balance_pgdat, we keep a separate priority record per zone in a local array. In try_to_free_pages there is no need to do this, as the priority level is the same for all zones that we reclaim from. Impact of this bug is that temp_priority is copied into prev_priority, and setting this artificially high causes reclaimers to set distress artificially low. They then fail to reclaim mapped pages, when they are, in fact, under severe memory pressure (their priority may be as low as 0). This causes the OOM killer to fire incorrectly. From: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> __zone_reclaim() isn't modifying zone->prev_priority. But zone->prev_priority is used in the decision whether or not to bring mapped pages onto the inactive list. Hence there's a risk here that __zone_reclaim() will fail because zone->prev_priority ir large (ie: low urgency) and lots of mapped pages end up stuck on the active list. Fix that up by decreasing (ie making more urgent) zone->prev_priority as __zone_reclaim() scans the zone's pages. This bug perhaps explains why ZONE_RECLAIM_PRIORITY was created. It should be possible to remove that now, and to just start out at DEF_PRIORITY?

Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept. The blk_* congestion functions are retained, as wrappers around the core backing-dev congestion functions. This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion functions, and so that CONFIG_BLOCK=n actually links.

[PATCH] Condense output of show_free_areas() On larger systems, the amount of output dumped on the console when you do SysRq-M is beyond insane. This patch is trying to reduce it somewhat as even with the smaller NUMA systems that have hit the desktop this seems to be a fair thing to do. The philosophy I have taken is as follows: 1) If a zone is empty, don't tell, we don't need yet another line telling us so. The information is available since one can look up the fact how many zones were initialized in the first place. 2) Put as much information on a line is possible, if it can be done in one line, rahter than two, then do it in one. I tried to format the temperature stuff for easy reading. Change show_free_areas() to not print lines for empty zones. If no zone output is printed, the zone is empty. This reduces the number of lines dumped to the console in sysrq on a large system by several thousand lines. Change the zone temperature printouts to use one line per CPU instead of two lines (one hot, one cold). On a 1024 CPU, 1024 node system, this reduces the console output by over a million lines of output.

[PATCH] Allow an arch to expand node boundaries Arch-independent zone-sizing determines the size of a node (pgdat->node_spanned_pages) based on the physical memory that was registered by the architecture. However, when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE is set, the architecture expects that the spanned_pages will be much larger and that mem_map will be allocated that is used lated on memory hot-add. This patch allows an architecture that sets CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE to call push_node_boundaries() which will set the node beginning and end to at *least* the requested boundary.

[PATCH] Introduce mechanism for registering active regions of memory At a basic level, architectures define structures to record where active ranges of page frames are located. Once located, the code to calculate zone sizes and holes in each architecture is very similar. Some of this zone and hole sizing code is difficult to read for no good reason. This set of patches eliminates the similar-looking architecture-specific code. The patches introduce a mechanism where architectures register where the active ranges of page frames are with add_active_range(). When all areas have been discovered, free_area_init_nodes() is called to initialise the pgdat and zones. The zone sizes and holes are then calculated in an architecture independent manner. Patch 1 introduces the mechanism for registering and initialising PFN ranges Patch 2 changes ppc to use the mechanism - 139 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 3 changes x86 to use the mechanism - 136 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 4 changes x86_64 to use the mechanism - 74 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 5 changes ia64 to use the mechanism - 52 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 6 accounts for mem_map as a memory hole as the pages are not reclaimable. It adjusts the watermarks slightly Tony Luck has successfully tested for ia64 on Itanium with tiger_defconfig, gensparse_defconfig and defconfig. Bob Picco has also tested and debugged on IA64. Jack Steiner successfully boot tested on a mammoth SGI IA64-based machine. These were on patches against 2.6.17-rc1 and release 3 of these patches but there have been no ia64-changes since release 3. There are differences in the zone sizes for x86_64 as the arch-specific code for x86_64 accounts the kernel image and the starting mem_maps as memory holes but the architecture-independent code accounts the memory as present. The big benefit of this set of patches is a sizable reduction of architecture-specific code, some of which is very hairy. There should be a greater reduction when other architectures use the same mechanisms for zone and hole sizing but I lack the hardware to test on. Additional credit; Dave Hansen for the initial suggestion and comments on early patches Andy Whitcroft for reviewing early versions and catching numerous errors Tony Luck for testing and debugging on IA64 Bob Picco for fixing bugs related to pfn registration, reviewing a number of patch revisions, providing a number of suggestions on future direction and testing heavily Jack Steiner and Robin Holt for testing on IA64 and clarifying issues related to memory holes Yasunori for testing on IA64 Andi Kleen for reviewing and feeding back about x86_64 Christian Kujau for providing valuable information related to ACPI problems on x86_64 and testing potential fixes This patch: Define the structure to represent an active range of page frames within a node in an architecture independent manner. Architectures are expected to register active ranges of PFNs using add_active_range(nid, start_pfn, end_pfn) and call free_area_init_nodes() passing the PFNs of the end of each zone.

[PATCH] zone_reclaim: dynamic slab reclaim Currently one can enable slab reclaim by setting an explicit option in /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode. Slab reclaim is then used as a final option if the freeing of unmapped file backed pages is not enough to free enough pages to allow a local allocation. However, that means that the slab can grow excessively and that most memory of a node may be used by slabs. We have had a case where a machine with 46GB of memory was using 40-42GB for slab. Zone reclaim was effective in dealing with pagecache pages. However, slab reclaim was only done during global reclaim (which is a bit rare on NUMA systems). This patch implements slab reclaim during zone reclaim. Zone reclaim occurs if there is a danger of an off node allocation. At that point we 1. Shrink the per node page cache if the number of pagecache pages is more than min_unmapped_ratio percent of pages in a zone. 2. Shrink the slab cache if the number of the nodes reclaimable slab pages (patch depends on earlier one that implements that counter) are more than min_slab_ratio (a new /proc/sys/vm tunable). The shrinking of the slab cache is a bit problematic since it is not node specific. So we simply calculate what point in the slab we want to reach (current per node slab use minus the number of pages that neeed to be allocated) and then repeately run the global reclaim until that is unsuccessful or we have reached the limit. I hope we will have zone based slab reclaim at some point which will make that easier. The default for the min_slab_ratio is 5% Also remove the slab option from /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode.

[PATCH] linearly index zone->node_zonelists[] I wonder why we need this bitmask indexing into zone->node_zonelists[]? We always start with the highest zone and then include all lower zones if we build zonelists. Are there really cases where we need allocation from ZONE_DMA or ZONE_HIGHMEM but not ZONE_NORMAL? It seems that the current implementation of highest_zone() makes that already impossible. If we go linear on the index then gfp_zone() == highest_zone() and a lot of definitions fall by the wayside. We can now revert back to the use of gfp_zone() in mempolicy.c ;-) Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This variable can now be of type enum zone_type. The check_highest_zone function and the build_zonelists funnctionm must then also take a enum zone_type parameter. Plus there are a number of loops over zones that also should use zone_type. We run into some troubles at some points with functions that need a zone_type variable to become -1. Fix that up.

[PATCH] mempolicies: fix policy_zone check There is a check in zonelist_policy that compares pieces of the bitmap obtained from a gfp mask via GFP_ZONETYPES with a zone number in function zonelist_policy(). The bitmap is an ORed mask of __GFP_DMA, __GFP_DMA32 and __GFP_HIGHMEM. The policy_zone is a zone number with the possible values of ZONE_DMA, ZONE_DMA32, ZONE_HIGHMEM and ZONE_NORMAL. These are two different domains of values. For some reason seemed to work before the zone reduction patchset (It definitely works on SGI boxes since we just have one zone and the check cannot fail). With the zone reduction patchset this check definitely fails on systems with two zones if the system actually has memory in both zones. This is because ZONE_NORMAL is selected using no __GFP flag at all and thus gfp_zone(gfpmask) == 0. ZONE_DMA is selected when __GFP_DMA is set. __GFP_DMA is 0x01. So gfp_zone(gfpmask) == 1. policy_zone is set to ZONE_NORMAL (==1) if ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_DMA are populated. For ZONE_NORMAL gfp_zone(<no _GFP_DMA>) yields 0 which is < policy_zone(ZONE_NORMAL) and so policy is not applied to regular memory allocations! Instead gfp_zone(__GFP_DMA) == 1 which results in policy being applied to DMA allocations! What we realy want in that place is to establish the highest allowable zone for a given gfp_mask. If the highest zone is higher or equal to the policy_zone then memory policies need to be applied. We have such a highest_zone() function in page_alloc.c. So move the highest_zone() function from mm/page_alloc.c into include/linux/gfp.h. On the way we simplify the function and use the new zone_type that was also introduced with the zone reduction patchset plus we also specify the right type for the gfp flags parameter.

[XFRM]: Dynamic xfrm_state hash table sizing. The grow algorithm is simple, we grow if: 1) we see a hash chain collision at insert, and 2) we haven't hit the hash size limit (currently 1*1024*1024 slots), and 3) the number of xfrm_state objects is > the current hash mask All of this needs some tweaking. Remove __initdata from "hashdist" so we can use it safely at run time. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

[PATCH] ZVC/zone_reclaim: Leave 1% of unmapped pagecache pages for file I/O It turns out that it is advantageous to leave a small portion of unmapped file backed pages if all of a zone's pages (or almost all pages) are allocated and so the page allocator has to go off-node. This allows recently used file I/O buffers to stay on the node and reduces the times that zone reclaim is invoked if file I/O occurs when we run out of memory in a zone. The problem is that zone reclaim runs too frequently when the page cache is used for file I/O (read write and therefore unmapped pages!) alone and we have almost all pages of the zone allocated. Zone reclaim may remove 32 unmapped pages. File I/O will use these pages for the next read/write requests and the unmapped pages increase. After the zone has filled up again zone reclaim will remove it again after only 32 pages. This cycle is too inefficient and there are potentially too many zone reclaim cycles. With the 1% boundary we may still remove all unmapped pages for file I/O in zone reclaim pass. However. it will take a large number of read and writes to get back to 1% again where we trigger zone reclaim again. The zone reclaim 2.6.16/17 does not show this behavior because we have a 30 second timeout.

[PATCH] Light weight event counters The remaining counters in page_state after the zoned VM counter patches have been applied are all just for show in /proc/vmstat. They have no essential function for the VM. We use a simple increment of per cpu variables. In order to avoid the most severe races we disable preempt. Preempt does not prevent the race between an increment and an interrupt handler incrementing the same statistics counter. However, that race is exceedingly rare, we may only loose one increment or so and there is no requirement (at least not in kernel) that the vm event counters have to be accurate. In the non preempt case this results in a simple increment for each counter. For many architectures this will be reduced by the compiler to a single instruction. This single instruction is atomic for i386 and x86_64. And therefore even the rare race condition in an interrupt is avoided for both architectures in most cases. The patchset also adds an off switch for embedded systems that allows a building of linux kernels without these counters. The implementation of these counters is through inline code that hopefully results in only a single instruction increment instruction being emitted (i386, x86_64) or in the increment being hidden though instruction concurrency (EPIC architectures such as ia64 can get that done). Benefits: - VM event counter operations usually reduce to a single inline instruction on i386 and x86_64. - No interrupt disable, only preempt disable for the preempt case. Preempt disable can also be avoided by moving the counter into a spinlock. - Handling is similar to zoned VM counters. - Simple and easily extendable. - Can be omitted to reduce memory use for embedded use.

[PATCH] Use Zoned VM Counters for NUMA statistics The numa statistics are really event counters. But they are per node and so we have had special treatment for these counters through additional fields on the pcp structure. We can now use the per zone nature of the zoned VM counters to realize these. This will shrink the size of the pcp structure on NUMA systems. We will have some room to add additional per zone counters that will all still fit in the same cacheline. Bits Prior pcp size Size after patch We can add ------------------------------------------------------------------ 64 128 bytes (16 words) 80 bytes (10 words) 48 32 76 bytes (19 words) 56 bytes (14 words) 8 (64 byte cacheline) 72 (128 byte) Remove the special statistics for numa and replace them with zoned vm counters. This has the side effect that global sums of these events now show up in /proc/vmstat. Also take the opportunity to move the zone_statistics() function from page_alloc.c into vmstat.c.

This converts the last critical page state of the VM and therefore we need to remove several functions that were depending on GET_PAGE_STATE_LAST in order to make the kernel compile again.

[PATCH] zoned vm counters: conversion of nr_pagecache to per zone counter Currently a single atomic variable is used to establish the size of the page cache in the whole machine. The zoned VM counters have the same method of implementation as the nr_pagecache code but also allow the determination of the pagecache size per zone. Remove the special implementation for nr_pagecache and make it a zoned counter named NR_FILE_PAGES. Updates of the page cache counters are always performed with interrupts off. We can therefore use the __ variant here.

[PATCH] zoned vm counters: convert nr_mapped to per zone counter nr_mapped is important because it allows a determination of how many pages of a zone are not mapped, which would allow a more efficient means of determining when we need to reclaim memory in a zone. We take the nr_mapped field out of the page state structure and define a new per zone counter named NR_FILE_MAPPED (the anonymous pages will be split off from NR_MAPPED in the next patch). We replace the use of nr_mapped in various kernel locations. This avoids the looping over all processors in try_to_free_pages(), writeback, reclaim (swap + zone reclaim).

[PATCH] zoned vm counters: basic ZVC (zoned vm counter) implementation Per zone counter infrastructure The counters that we currently have for the VM are split per processor. The processor however has not much to do with the zone these pages belong to. We cannot tell f.e. how many ZONE_DMA pages are dirty. So we are blind to potentially inbalances in the usage of memory in various zones. F.e. in a NUMA system we cannot tell how many pages are dirty on a particular node. If we knew then we could put measures into the VM to balance the use of memory between different zones and different nodes in a NUMA system. For example it would be possible to limit the dirty pages per node so that fast local memory is kept available even if a process is dirtying huge amounts of pages. Another example is zone reclaim. We do not know how many unmapped pages exist per zone. So we just have to try to reclaim. If it is not working then we pause and try again later. It would be better if we knew when it makes sense to reclaim unmapped pages from a zone. This patchset allows the determination of the number of unmapped pages per zone. We can remove the zone reclaim interval with the counters introduced here. Futhermore the ability to have various usage statistics available will allow the development of new NUMA balancing algorithms that may be able to improve the decision making in the scheduler of when to move a process to another node and hopefully will also enable automatic page migration through a user space program that can analyse the memory load distribution and then rebalance memory use in order to increase performance. The counter framework here implements differential counters for each processor in struct zone. The differential counters are consolidated when a threshold is exceeded (like done in the current implementation for nr_pageache), when slab reaping occurs or when a consolidation function is called. Consolidation uses atomic operations and accumulates counters per zone in the zone structure and also globally in the vm_stat array. VM functions can access the counts by simply indexing a global or zone specific array. The arrangement of counters in an array also simplifies processing when output has to be generated for /proc/*. Counters can be updated by calling inc/dec_zone_page_state or _inc/dec_zone_page_state analogous to *_page_state. The second group of functions can be called if it is known that interrupts are disabled. Special optimized increment and decrement functions are provided. These can avoid certain checks and use increment or decrement instructions that an architecture may provide. We also add a new CONFIG_DMA_IS_NORMAL that signifies that an architecture can do DMA to all memory and therefore ZONE_NORMAL will not be populated. This is only currently set for IA64 SGI SN2 and currently only affects node_page_state(). In the best case node_page_state can be reduced to retrieving a single counter for the one zone on the node.

[PATCH] zoned vm counters: create vmstat.c/.h from page_alloc.c/.h NOTE: ZVC are *not* the lightweight event counters. ZVCs are reliable whereas event counters do not need to be. Zone based VM statistics are necessary to be able to determine what the state of memory in one zone is. In a NUMA system this can be helpful for local reclaim and other memory optimizations that may be able to shift VM load in order to get more balanced memory use. It is also useful to know how the computing load affects the memory allocations on various zones. This patchset allows the retrieval of that data from userspace. The patchset introduces a framework for counters that is a cross between the existing page_stats --which are simply global counters split per cpu-- and the approach of deferred incremental updates implemented for nr_pagecache. Small per cpu 8 bit counters are added to struct zone. If the counter exceeds certain thresholds then the counters are accumulated in an array of atomic_long in the zone and in a global array that sums up all zone values. The small 8 bit counters are next to the per cpu page pointers and so they will be in high in the cpu cache when pages are allocated and freed. Access to VM counter information for a zone and for the whole machine is then possible by simply indexing an array (Thanks to Nick Piggin for pointing out that approach). The access to the total number of pages of various types does no longer require the summing up of all per cpu counters. Benefits of this patchset right now: - Ability for UP and SMP configuration to determine how memory is balanced between the DMA, NORMAL and HIGHMEM zones. - loops over all processors are avoided in writeback and reclaim paths. We can avoid caching the writeback information because the needed information is directly accessible. - Special handling for nr_pagecache removed. - zone_reclaim_interval vanishes since VM stats can now determine when it is worth to do local reclaim. - Fast inline per node page state determination. - Accurate counters in /sys/devices/system/node/node*/meminfo. Current counters are counting simply which processor allocated a page somewhere and guestimate based on that. So the counters were not useful to show the actual distribution of page use on a specific zone. - The swap_prefetch patch requires per node statistics in order to figure out when processors of a node can prefetch. This patch provides some of the needed numbers. - Detailed VM counters available in more /proc and /sys status files.

Where they do not we will incorrectly merge pages cross zone boundaries. This can lead to pages from the wrong zone being handed out. Originally the buddy allocator would check that buddies were in the same zone by referencing the zone start and end page frame numbers. This was removed as it became very expensive and the buddy allocator already made the assumption that zones boundaries were aligned. It is clear that not all configurations and architectures are honouring this alignment requirement. Therefore it seems safest to reintroduce support for non-aligned zone boundaries. This patch introduces a new check when considering a page a buddy it compares the zone_table index for the two pages and refuses to merge the pages where they do not match. The zone_table index is unique for each node/zone combination when FLATMEM/DISCONTIGMEM is enabled and for each section/zone combination when SPARSEMEM is enabled (a SPARSEMEM section is at least a MAX_ORDER size).

[PATCH] Align the node_mem_map endpoints to a MAX_ORDER boundary Andy added code to buddy allocator which does not require the zone's endpoints to be aligned to MAX_ORDER. An issue is that the buddy allocator requires the node_mem_map's endpoints to be MAX_ORDER aligned. Otherwise __page_find_buddy could compute a buddy not in node_mem_map for partial MAX_ORDER regions at zone's endpoints. page_is_buddy will detect that these pages at endpoints are not PG_buddy (they were zeroed out by bootmem allocator and not part of zone). Of course the negative here is we could waste a little memory but the positive is eliminating all the old checks for zone boundary conditions. SPARSEMEM won't encounter this issue because of MAX_ORDER size constraint when SPARSEMEM is configured. ia64 VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP doesn't need the logic either because the holes and endpoints are handled differently. This leaves checking alloc_remap and other arches which privately allocate for node_mem_map.

[PATCH] Cpuset: might sleep checking zones allowed fix Fix a couple of infrequently encountered 'sleeping function called from invalid context' in the cpuset hooks in __alloc_pages. Could sleep while interrupts disabled. The routine cpuset_zone_allowed() is called by code in mm/page_alloc.c __alloc_pages() to determine if a zone is allowed in the current tasks cpuset. This routine can sleep, for certain GFP_KERNEL allocations, if the zone is on a memory node not allowed in the current cpuset, but might be allowed in a parent cpuset. But we can't sleep in __alloc_pages() if in interrupt, nor if called for a GFP_ATOMIC request (__GFP_WAIT not set in gfp_flags). The rule was intended to be: Don't call cpuset_zone_allowed() if you can't sleep, unless you pass in the __GFP_HARDWALL flag set in gfp_flag, which disables the code that might scan up ancestor cpusets and sleep. This rule was being violated in a couple of places, due to a bogus change made (by myself, pj) to __alloc_pages() as part of the November 2005 effort to cleanup its logic, and also due to a later fix to constrain which swap daemons were awoken. The bogus change can be seen at: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2005-11/4691.html [PATCH 01/05] mm fix __alloc_pages cpuset ALLOC_* flags This was first noticed on a tight memory system, in code that was disabling interrupts and doing allocation requests with __GFP_WAIT not set, which resulted in __might_sleep() writing complaints to the log "Debug: sleeping function called ...", when the code in cpuset_zone_allowed() tried to take the callback_sem cpuset semaphore. We haven't seen a system hang on this 'might_sleep' yet, but we are at decent risk of seeing it fairly soon, especially since the additional cpuset_zone_allowed() check was added, conditioning wakeup_kswapd(), in March 2006. Special thanks to Dave Chinner, for figuring this out, and a tip of the hat to Nick Piggin who warned me of this back in Nov 2005, before I was ready to listen.

[PATCH] overcommit: add calculate_totalreserve_pages() These patches are an enhancement of OVERCOMMIT_GUESS algorithm in __vm_enough_memory(). - why the kernel needed patching When the kernel can't allocate anonymous pages in practice, currnet OVERCOMMIT_GUESS could return success. This implementation might be the cause of oom kill in memory pressure situation. If the Linux runs with page reservation features like /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio and without swap region, I think the oom kill occurs easily. - the overall design approach in the patch When the OVERCOMMET_GUESS algorithm calculates number of free pages, the reserved free pages are regarded as non-free pages. This change helps to avoid the pitfall that the number of free pages become less than the number which the kernel tries to keep free. - testing results I tested the patches using my test kernel module. If the patches aren't applied to the kernel, __vm_enough_memory() returns success in the situation but autual page allocation is failed. On the other hand, if the patches are applied to the kernel, memory allocation failure is avoided since __vm_enough_memory() returns failure in the situation. I checked that on i386 SMP 16GB memory machine. I haven't tested on nommu environment currently. This patch adds totalreserve_pages for __vm_enough_memory(). Calculate_totalreserve_pages() checks maximum lowmem_reserve pages and pages_high in each zone. Finally, the function stores the sum of each zone to totalreserve_pages. The totalreserve_pages is calculated when the VM is initilized. And the variable is updated when /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_raito or /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes are changed.

Each of the conjuncts may be true at different times due to unrelated conditions, so the non-atomic page_is_buddy test may find each conjunct to be true even if they were not both true at the same time (ie. the page was not on the buddy lists).

[PATCH] slab: Node rotor for freeing alien caches and remote per cpu pages. The cache reaper currently tries to free all alien caches and all remote per cpu pages in each pass of cache_reap. For a machines with large number of nodes (such as Altix) this may lead to sporadic delays of around ~10ms. Interrupts are disabled while reclaiming creating unacceptable delays. This patch changes that behavior by adding a per cpu reap_node variable. Instead of attempting to free all caches, we free only one alien cache and the per cpu pages from one remote node. That reduces the time spend in cache_reap. However, doing so will lengthen the time it takes to completely drain all remote per cpu pagesets and all alien caches. The time needed will grow with the number of nodes in the system. All caches are drained when they overflow their respective capacity. So the drawback here is only that a bit of memory may be wasted for awhile longer. Details: 1. Rename drain_remote_pages to drain_node_pages to allow the specification of the node to drain of pcp pages. 2. Add additional functions init_reap_node, next_reap_node for NUMA that manage a per cpu reap_node counter. 3. Add a reap_alien function that reaps only from the current reap_node. For us this seems to be a critical issue. Holdoffs of an average of ~7ms cause some HPC benchmarks to slow down significantly. F.e. NAS parallel slows down dramatically. NAS parallel has a 12-16 seconds runtime w/o rotor compared to 5.8 secs with the rotor patches. It gets down to 5.05 secs with the additional interrupt holdoff reductions.

[PATCH] Terminate process that fails on a constrained allocation Some allocations are restricted to a limited set of nodes (due to memory policies or cpuset constraints). If the page allocator is not able to find enough memory then that does not mean that overall system memory is low. In particular going postal and more or less randomly shooting at processes is not likely going to help the situation but may just lead to suicide (the whole system coming down). It is better to signal to the process that no memory exists given the constraints that the process (or the configuration of the process) has placed on the allocation behavior. The process may be killed but then the sysadmin or developer can investigate the situation. The solution is similar to what we do when running out of hugepages. This patch adds a check before we kill processes. At that point performance considerations do not matter much so we just scan the zonelist and reconstruct a list of nodes. If the list of nodes does not contain all online nodes then this is a constrained allocation and we should kill the current process.

[PATCH] compound page: default destructor Somehow I imagined that calling a NULL destructor would free a compound page rather than oopsing. No, we must supply a default destructor, __free_pages_ok using the order noted by prep_compound_page. hugetlb can still replace this as before with its own free_huge_page pointer. The case that needs this is not common: rarely does put_compound_page's put_page_testzero bring the count down to 0. But if get_user_pages is applied to some part of a compound page, without immediate release (e.g. AIO or Infiniband), then it's possible for its put_page to come after the containing vma has been unmapped and the driver done its free_pages. That's just the kind of case compound pages are supposed to be guarding against (but Nick points out, nor did PageReserved handle this right).

[PATCH] compound page: use page[1].lru If a compound page has its own put_page_testzero destructor (the only current example is free_huge_page), that is noted in page[1].mapping of the compound page. But that's rather a poor place to keep it: functions which call set_page_dirty_lock after get_user_pages (e.g. Infiniband's __ib_umem_release) ought to be checking first, otherwise set_page_dirty is liable to crash on what's not the address of a struct address_space. And now I'm about to make that worse: it turns out that every compound page needs a destructor, so we can no longer rely on hugetlb pages going their own special way, to avoid further problems of page->mapping reuse. For example, not many people know that: on 50% of i386 -Os builds, the first tail page of a compound page purports to be PageAnon (when its destructor has an odd address), which surprises page_add_file_rmap. Keep the compound page destructor in page[1].lru.next instead. And to free up the common pairing of mapping and index, also move compound page order from index to lru.prev. Slab reuses page->lru too: but if we ever need slab to use compound pages, it can easily stack its use above this. (akpm: decoded version of the above: the tail pages of a compound page now have ->mapping==NULL, so there's no need for the set_page_dirty[_lock]() caller to check that they're not compund pages before doing the dirty).

[PATCH] percpu data: only iterate over possible CPUs percpu_data blindly allocates bootmem memory to store NR_CPUS instances of cpudata, instead of allocating memory only for possible cpus. As a preparation for changing that, we need to convert various 0 -> NR_CPUS loops to use for_each_cpu(). (The above only applies to users of asm-generic/percpu.h. powerpc has gone it alone and is presently only allocating memory for present CPUs, so it's currently corrupting memory).

[PATCH] Zone reclaim: Reclaim logic Some bits for zone reclaim exists in 2.6.15 but they are not usable. This patch fixes them up, removes unused code and makes zone reclaim usable. Zone reclaim allows the reclaiming of pages from a zone if the number of free pages falls below the watermarks even if other zones still have enough pages available. Zone reclaim is of particular importance for NUMA machines. It can be more beneficial to reclaim a page than taking the performance penalties that come with allocating a page on a remote zone. Zone reclaim is enabled if the maximum distance to another node is higher than RECLAIM_DISTANCE, which may be defined by an arch. By default RECLAIM_DISTANCE is 20. 20 is the distance to another node in the same component (enclosure or motherboard) on IA64. The meaning of the NUMA distance information seems to vary by arch. If zone reclaim is not successful then no further reclaim attempts will occur for a certain time period (ZONE_RECLAIM_INTERVAL). This patch was discussed before.

[PATCH] cpuset: memory pressure meter Provide a simple per-cpuset metric of memory pressure, tracking the -rate- that the tasks in a cpuset call try_to_free_pages(), the synchronous (direct) memory reclaim code. This enables batch managers monitoring jobs running in dedicated cpusets to efficiently detect what level of memory pressure that job is causing. This is useful both on tightly managed systems running a wide mix of submitted jobs, which may choose to terminate or reprioritize jobs that are trying to use more memory than allowed on the nodes assigned them, and with tightly coupled, long running, massively parallel scientific computing jobs that will dramatically fail to meet required performance goals if they start to use more memory than allowed to them. This patch just provides a very economical way for the batch manager to monitor a cpuset for signs of memory pressure. It's up to the batch manager or other user code to decide what to do about it and take action. ==> Unless this feature is enabled by writing "1" to the special file /dev/cpuset/memory_pressure_enabled, the hook in the rebalance code of __alloc_pages() for this metric reduces to simply noticing that the cpuset_memory_pressure_enabled flag is zero. So only systems that enable this feature will compute the metric. Why a per-cpuset, running average: Because this meter is per-cpuset, rather than per-task or mm, the system load imposed by a batch scheduler monitoring this metric is sharply reduced on large systems, because a scan of the tasklist can be avoided on each set of queries. Because this meter is a running average, instead of an accumulating counter, a batch scheduler can detect memory pressure with a single read, instead of having to read and accumulate results for a period of time. Because this meter is per-cpuset rather than per-task or mm, the batch scheduler can obtain the key information, memory pressure in a cpuset, with a single read, rather than having to query and accumulate results over all the (dynamically changing) set of tasks in the cpuset. A per-cpuset simple digital filter (requires a spinlock and 3 words of data per-cpuset) is kept, and updated by any task attached to that cpuset, if it enters the synchronous (direct) page reclaim code. A per-cpuset file provides an integer number representing the recent (half-life of 10 seconds) rate of direct page reclaims caused by the tasks in the cpuset, in units of reclaims attempted per second, times 1000.

[PATCH] Make high and batch sizes of per_cpu_pagelists configurable As recently there has been lot of traffic on the right values for batch and high water marks for per_cpu_pagelists. This patch makes these two variables configurable through /proc interface. A new tunable /proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_fraction is added. This entry controls the fraction of pages at most in each zone that are allocated for each per cpu page list. The min value for this is 8. It means that we don't allow more than 1/8th of pages in each zone to be allocated in any single per_cpu_pagelist. The batch value of each per cpu pagelist is also updated as a result. It is set to pcp->high/4.

[PATCH] mm: fix __alloc_pages cpuset ALLOC_* flags Two changes to the setting of the ALLOC_CPUSET flag in mm/page_alloc.c:__alloc_pages() - A bug fix - the "ignoring mins" case should not be honoring ALLOC_CPUSET. This case of all cases, since it is handling a request that will free up more memory than is asked for (exiting tasks, e.g.) should be allowed to escape cpuset constraints when memory is tight. - A logic change to make it simpler. Honor cpusets even on GFP_ATOMIC (!wait) requests. With this, cpuset confinement applies to all requests except ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS, so that in a subsequent cleanup patch, I can remove the ALLOC_CPUSET flag entirely. Since I don't know any real reason this logic has to be either way, I am choosing the path of the simplest code.

[PATCH] mm: __alloc_pages cleanup fix I believe this patch is required to fix breakage in the asynch reclaim watermark logic introduced by this patch: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=7fb1d9fca5c6e3b06773b69165a73f3fb786b8ee Just some background of the watermark logic in case it isn't clear... Basically what we have is this: --- pages_high | | (a) | --- pages_low | | (b) | --- pages_min | | (c) | --- 0 Now when pages_low is reached, we want to kick asynch reclaim, which gives us an interval of "b" before we must start synch reclaim, and gives kswapd an interval of "a" before it need go back to sleep. When pages_min is reached, normal allocators must enter synch reclaim, but PF_MEMALLOC, ALLOC_HARDER, and ALLOC_HIGH (ie. atomic allocations, recursive allocations, etc.) get access to varying amounts of the reserve "c".

[PATCH] unpaged: unifdefed PageCompound It looks like snd_xxx is not the only nopage to be using PageReserved as a way of holding a high-order page together: which no longer works, but is masked by our failure to free from VM_RESERVED areas. We cannot fix that bug without first substituting another way to hold the high-order page together, while farming out the 0-order pages from within it. That's just what PageCompound is designed for, but it's been kept under CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE. Remove the #ifdefs: which saves some space (out- of-line put_page), doesn't slow down what most needs to be fast (already using hugetlb), and unifies the way we handle high-order pages.

[PATCH] x86_64: Add 4GB DMA32 zone Add a new 4GB GFP_DMA32 zone between the GFP_DMA and GFP_NORMAL zones. As a bit of historical background: when the x86-64 port was originally designed we had some discussion if we should use a 16MB DMA zone like i386 or a 4GB DMA zone like IA64 or both. Both was ruled out at this point because it was in early 2.4 when VM is still quite shakey and had bad troubles even dealing with one DMA zone. We settled on the 16MB DMA zone mainly because we worried about older soundcards and the floppy. But this has always caused problems since then because device drivers had trouble getting enough DMA able memory. These days the VM works much better and the wide use of NUMA has proven it can deal with many zones successfully. So this patch adds both zones. This helps drivers who need a lot of memory below 4GB because their hardware is not accessing more (graphic drivers - proprietary and free ones, video frame buffer drivers, sound drivers etc.). Previously they could only use IOMMU+16MB GFP_DMA, which was not enough memory. Another common problem is that hardware who has full memory addressing for >4GB misses it for some control structures in memory (like transmit rings or other metadata). They tended to allocate memory in the 16MB GFP_DMA or the IOMMU/swiotlb then using pci_alloc_consistent, but that can tie up a lot of precious 16MB GFPDMA/IOMMU/swiotlb memory (even on AMD systems the IOMMU tends to be quite small) especially if you have many devices. With the new zone pci_alloc_consistent can just put this stuff into memory below 4GB which works better. One argument was still if the zone should be 4GB or 2GB. The main motivation for 2GB would be an unnamed not so unpopular hardware raid controller (mostly found in older machines from a particular four letter company) who has a strange 2GB restriction in firmware. But that one works ok with swiotlb/IOMMU anyways, so it doesn't really need GFP_DMA32. I chose 4GB to be compatible with IA64 and because it seems to be the most common restriction. The new zone is so far added only for x86-64. For other architectures who don't set up this new zone nothing changes. Architectures can set a compatibility define in Kconfig CONFIG_DMA_IS_DMA32 that will define GFP_DMA32 as GFP_DMA. Otherwise it's a nop because on 32bit architectures it's normally not needed because GFP_NORMAL (=0) is DMA able enough. One problem is still that GFP_DMA means different things on different architectures. e.g. some drivers used to have #ifdef ia64 use GFP_DMA (trusting it to be 4GB) #elif __x86_64__ (use other hacks like the swiotlb because 16MB is not enough) ... . This was quite ugly and is now obsolete. These should be now converted to use GFP_DMA32 unconditionally. I haven't done this yet. Or best only use pci_alloc_consistent/dma_alloc_coherent which will use GFP_DMA32 transparently. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

[PATCH] mm: highmem watermarks The pages_high - pages_low and pages_low - pages_min deltas are the asynch reclaim watermarks. As such, the should be in the same ratios as any other zone for highmem zones. It is the pages_min - 0 delta which is the PF_MEMALLOC reserve, and this is the region that isn't very useful for highmem. This patch ensures highmem systems have similar characteristics as non highmem ones with the same amount of memory, and also that highmem zones get similar reclaim pressures to other zones.

[PATCH] memory hotplug locking: node_size_lock pgdat->node_size_lock is basically only neeeded in one place in the normal code: show_mem(), which is the arch-specific sysrq-m printing function. Strictly speaking, the architectures not doing memory hotplug do no need this locking in show_mem(). However, they are all included for completeness. This should also make any future consolidation of all of the implementations a little more straightforward. This lock is also held in the sparsemem code during a memory removal, as sections are invalidated. This is the place there pfn_valid() is made false for a memory area that's being removed. The lock is only required when doing pfn_valid() operations on memory which the user does not already have a reference on the page, such as in show_mem().

There are currently no locks that protect these structure members. However, they are rarely accessed at runtime. Outside of swsusp, the only place that I can find is bad_range().

[PATCH] mm: split page table lock Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of a large anonymous area. This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.) In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled. Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally, I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs. So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps change that to 8 later. There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

[PATCH] core remove PageReserved Remove PageReserved() calls from core code by tightening VM_RESERVED handling in mm/ to cover PageReserved functionality. PageReserved special casing is removed from get_page and put_page. All setting and clearing of PageReserved is retained, and it is now flagged in the page_alloc checks to help ensure we don't introduce any refcount based freeing of Reserved pages. MAP_PRIVATE, PROT_WRITE of VM_RESERVED regions is tentatively being deprecated. We never completely handled it correctly anyway, and is be reintroduced in future if required (Hugh has a proof of concept). Once PageReserved() calls are removed from kernel/power/swsusp.c, and all arch/ and driver code, the Set and Clear calls, and the PG_reserved bit can be trivially removed. Last real user of PageReserved is swsusp, which uses PageReserved to determine whether a struct page points to valid memory or not. This still needs to be addressed (a generic page_is_ram() should work). A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap (and thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss). These writes to the struct page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big systems. There are a number of ways this could be addressed if it is an issue.

[PATCH] cpusets: formalize intermediate GFP_KERNEL containment This patch makes use of the previously underutilized cpuset flag 'mem_exclusive' to provide what amounts to another layer of memory placement resolution. With this patch, there are now the following four layers of memory placement available: 1) The whole system (interrupt and GFP_ATOMIC allocations can use this), 2) The nearest enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset (GFP_KERNEL allocations can use), 3) The current tasks cpuset (GFP_USER allocations constrained to here), and 4) Specific node placement, using mbind and set_mempolicy. These nest - each layer is a subset (same or within) of the previous. Layer (2) above is new, with this patch. The call used to check whether a zone (its node, actually) is in a cpuset (in its mems_allowed, actually) is extended to take a gfp_mask argument, and its logic is extended, in the case that __GFP_HARDWALL is not set in the flag bits, to look up the cpuset hierarchy for the nearest enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset, to determine if placement is allowed. The definition of GFP_USER, which used to be identical to GFP_KERNEL, is changed to also set the __GFP_HARDWALL bit, in the previous cpuset_gfp_hardwall_flag patch. GFP_ATOMIC and GFP_KERNEL allocations will stay within the current tasks cpuset, so long as any node therein is not too tight on memory, but will escape to the larger layer, if need be. The intended use is to allow something like a batch manager to handle several jobs, each job in its own cpuset, but using common kernel memory for caches and such. Swapper and oom_kill activity is also constrained to Layer (2). A task in or below one mem_exclusive cpuset should not cause swapping on nodes in another non-overlapping mem_exclusive cpuset, nor provoke oom_killing of a task in another such cpuset. Heavy use of kernel memory for i/o caching and such by one job should not impact the memory available to jobs in other non-overlapping mem_exclusive cpusets. This patch enables providing hardwall, inescapable cpusets for memory allocations of each job, while sharing kernel memory allocations between several jobs, in an enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset. Like Dinakar's patch earlier to enable administering sched domains using the cpu_exclusive flag, this patch also provides a useful meaning to a cpuset flag that had previously done nothing much useful other than restrict what cpuset configurations were allowed.

[PATCH] Remove bogus warning in page_alloc.c Originally __free_pages_bulk used the relative page number within a zone to define its buddies. This meant that to maintain the "maximally aligned" requirements (that an allocation of size N will be aligned at least to N physically) zones had to also be aligned to 1<<MAX_ORDER pages. When __free_pages_bulk was updated to use the relative page frame numbers of the free'd pages to pair buddies this released the alignment constraint on the 'left' edge of the zone. This allows _either_ edge of the zone to contain partial MAX_ORDER sized buddies. These simply never will have matching buddies and thus will never make it to the 'top' of the pyramid. The patch below removes a now redundant check ensuring that the mem_map was aligned to MAX_ORDER.

[PATCH] sparsemem hotplug base Make sparse's initalization be accessible at runtime. This allows sparse mappings to be created after boot in a hotplug situation. This patch is separated from the previous one just to give an indication how much of the sparse infrastructure is *just* for hotplug memory. The section_mem_map doesn't really store a pointer. It stores something that is convenient to do some math against to get a pointer. It isn't valid to just do *section_mem_map, so I don't think it should be stored as a pointer. There are a couple of things I'd like to store about a section. First of all, the fact that it is !NULL does not mean that it is present. There could be such a combination where section_mem_map *is* NULL, but the math gets you properly to a real mem_map. So, I don't think that check is safe. Since we're storing 32-bit-aligned structures, we have a few bits in the bottom of the pointer to play with. Use one bit to encode whether there's really a mem_map there, and the other one to tell whether there's a valid section there. We need to distinguish between the two because sometimes there's a gap between when a section is discovered to be present and when we can get the mem_map for it.

[PATCH] sparsemem swiss cheese numa layouts The part of the sparsemem patch which modifies memmap_init_zone() has recently become a problem. It changes behavior so that there is a call to pfn_to_page() for each individual page inside of a node's range: node_start_pfn through node_end_pfn. It used to simply do this once, at the beginning of the node, but having sparsemem's non-contiguous mem_map[]s inside of a node made it necessary to change. Mike Kravetz recently wrote a patch which made the NUMA code accept some new kinds of layouts. The system's memory was laid out like this, with node 0's memory in two pieces: one before and one after node 1's memory: Node 0: +++++ +++++ Node 1: +++++ Previous behavior before Mike's patch was to assign nodes like this: Node 0: 00000 XXXXX Node 1: 11111 Where the 'X' areas were simply thrown away. The new behavior was to make the pg_data_t span node 0 across all of its areas, including areas that are really node 1's: Node 0: 000000000000000 Node 1: 11111 This wastes a little bit of mem_map space, but ends up being OK, and more fully utilizes the system's memory. memmap_init_zone() initializes all of the "struct page"s for node 0, even for the "hole", but those never get used, because there is no pfn_to_page() that resolves to those pages. However, only calling pfn_to_page() once, memmap_init_zone() always uses the pages that were allocated for node0->node_mem_map because: struct page *start = pfn_to_page(start_pfn); // effectively start = &node->node_mem_map[0] for (page = start; page < (start + size); page++) { init_page_here();... page++; } Slow, and wasteful, but generally harmless. But, modify that to call pfn_to_page() for each loop iteration (like sparsemem does): for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn < < (start_pfn + size); pfn++++) { page = pfn_to_page(pfn); } And you end up trying to initialize node 1's pages too early, along with bogus data from node 0. This patch checks for those weird layouts and declines to touch the pages, making the more frequent pfn_to_page() calls OK to do.

[PATCH] sparsemem memory model Sparsemem abstracts the use of discontiguous mem_maps[]. This kind of mem_map[] is needed by discontiguous memory machines (like in the old CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM case) as well as memory hotplug systems. Sparsemem replaces DISCONTIGMEM when enabled, and it is hoped that it can eventually become a complete replacement. A significant advantage over DISCONTIGMEM is that it's completely separated from CONFIG_NUMA. When producing this patch, it became apparent in that NUMA and DISCONTIG are often confused. Another advantage is that sparse doesn't require each NUMA node's ranges to be contiguous. It can handle overlapping ranges between nodes with no problems, where DISCONTIGMEM currently throws away that memory. Sparsemem uses an array to provide different pfn_to_page() translations for each SECTION_SIZE area of physical memory. This is what allows the mem_map[] to be chopped up. In order to do quick pfn_to_page() operations, the section number of the page is encoded in page->flags. Part of the sparsemem infrastructure enables sharing of these bits more dynamically (at compile-time) between the page_zone() and sparsemem operations. However, on 32-bit architectures, the number of bits is quite limited, and may require growing the size of the page->flags type in certain conditions. Several things might force this to occur: a decrease in the SECTION_SIZE (if you want to hotplug smaller areas of memory), an increase in the physical address space, or an increase in the number of used page->flags. One thing to note is that, once sparsemem is present, the NUMA node information no longer needs to be stored in the page->flags. It might provide speed increases on certain platforms and will be stored there if there is room. But, if out of room, an alternate (theoretically slower) mechanism is used. This patch introduces CONFIG_FLATMEM. It is used in almost all cases where there used to be an #ifndef DISCONTIG, because SPARSEMEM and DISCONTIGMEM often have to compile out the same areas of code.

[PATCH] Introduce new Kconfig option for NUMA or DISCONTIG There is some confusion that arose when working on SPARSEMEM patch between what is needed for DISCONTIG vs. NUMA. Multiple pg_data_t's are needed for DISCONTIGMEM or NUMA, independently. All of the current NUMA implementations require an implementation of DISCONTIG. Because of this, quite a lot of code which is really needed for NUMA is actually under DISCONTIG #ifdefs. For SPARSEMEM, we changed some of these #ifdefs to CONFIG_NUMA, but that broke the DISCONTIG=y and NUMA=n case. Introducing this new NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES config option allows code that is needed for both NUMA or DISCONTIG to be separated out from code that is specific to DISCONTIG. One great advantage of this approach is that it doesn't require every architecture to be converted over. All of the current implementations should "just work", only the ones implementing SPARSEMEM will have to be fixed up. The change to free_area_init() makes it work inside, or out of the new config option.

This mechanism is also used on non-NUMA ia64 systems with a vmem_map to keep the pgdat->node_mem_map initialized in a consistent place for all architectures. Issues: o alloc_remap takes a node_id where we might expect a pgdat which was intended to allow us to allocate the pgdat's using this mechanism; which we do not yet do.

[PATCH] Periodically drain non local pagesets The pageset array can potentially acquire a huge amount of memory on large NUMA systems. F.e. on a system with 512 processors and 256 nodes there will be 256*512 pagesets. If each pageset only holds 5 pages then we are talking about 655360 pages.With a 16K page size on IA64 this results in potentially 10 Gigabytes of memory being trapped in pagesets. The typical cases are much less for smaller systems but there is still the potential of memory being trapped in off node pagesets. Off node memory may be rarely used if local memory is available and so we may potentially have memory in seldom used pagesets without this patch. The slab allocator flushes its per cpu caches every 2 seconds. The following patch flushes the off node pageset caches in the same way by tying into the slab flush. The patch also changes /proc/zoneinfo to include the number of pages currently in each pageset.

[PATCH] node local per-cpu-pages This patch modifies the way pagesets in struct zone are managed. Each zone has a per-cpu array of pagesets. So any particular CPU has some memory in each zone structure which belongs to itself. Even if that CPU is not local to that zone. So the patch relocates the pagesets for each cpu to the node that is nearest to the cpu instead of allocating the pagesets in the (possibly remote) target zone. This means that the operations to manage pages on remote zone can be done with information available locally. We play a macro trick so that non-NUMA pmachines avoid the additional pointer chase on the page allocator fastpath.

[PATCH] VM: early zone reclaim This is the core of the (much simplified) early reclaim. The goal of this patch is to reclaim some easily-freed pages from a zone before falling back onto another zone. One of the major uses of this is NUMA machines. With the default allocator behavior the allocator would look for memory in another zone, which might be off-node, before trying to reclaim from the current zone. This adds a zone tuneable to enable early zone reclaim. It is selected on a per-zone basis and is turned on/off via syscall. Adding some extra throttling on the reclaim was also required (patch 4/4). Without the machine would grind to a crawl when doing a "make -j" kernel build. Even with this patch the System Time is higher on average, but it seems tolerable. Here are some numbers for kernbench runs on a 2-node, 4cpu, 8Gig RAM Altix in the "make -j" run: wall user sys %cpu ctx sw. sleeps ---- ---- --- ---- ------ ------ No patch 1009 1384 847 258 298170 504402 w/patch, no reclaim 880 1376 667 288 254064 396745 w/patch & reclaim 1079 1385 926 252 291625 548873 These numbers are the average of 2 runs of 3 "make -j" runs done right after system boot. Run-to-run variability for "make -j" is huge, so these numbers aren't terribly useful except to seee that with reclaim the benchmark still finishes in a reasonable amount of time. I also looked at the NUMA hit/miss stats for the "make -j" runs and the reclaim doesn't make any difference when the machine is thrashing away. Doing a "make -j8" on a single node that is filled with page cache pages takes 700 seconds with reclaim turned on and 735 seconds without reclaim (due to remote memory accesses).

The documentation could be extended for more sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0 time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well. So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are not too much skewed. I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some #ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc. You can see result of the modified documentation build at http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick cleanup work.

[PATCH] mempool: NOMEMALLOC and NORETRY Mempools have 2 problems. The first is that mempool_alloc can possibly get stuck in __alloc_pages when they should opt to fail, and take an element from their reserved pool. The second is that it will happily eat emergency PF_MEMALLOC reserves instead of going to their reserved pools. Fix the first by passing __GFP_NORETRY in the allocation calls in mempool_alloc. Fix the second by introducing a __GFP_MEMPOOL flag which directs the page allocator not to allocate from the reserve pool.

[PATCH] mm: pcp use non powers of 2 for batch size Jack Steiner reported this to have fixed his problem (bad colouring): "The patches fix both problems that I found - bad coloring & excessive pages in pagesets." In most workloads this is not likely to be such a pronounced problem, however it should help corner cases. And avoiding powers of 2 in these types of memory operations is always a good idea.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
