* mm: retry page fault when blocking on disk transferMichel Lespinasse2010-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change reduces mmap_sem hold times that are caused by waiting for disk transfers when accessing file mapped VMAs. It introduces the VM_FAULT_ALLOW_RETRY flag, which indicates that the call site wants mmap_sem to be released if blocking on a pending disk transfer. In that case, filemap_fault() returns the VM_FAULT_RETRY status bit and do_page_fault() will then re-acquire mmap_sem and retry the page fault. It is expected that the retry will hit the same page which will now be cached, and thus it will complete with a low mmap_sem hold time. Tests: - microbenchmark: thread A mmaps a large file and does random read accesses to the mmaped area - achieves about 55 iterations/s. Thread B does mmap/munmap in a loop at a separate location - achieves 55 iterations/s before, 15000 iterations/s after. - We are seeing related effects in some applications in house, which show significant performance regressions when running without this change.

* mm: remove alignment padding from anon_vma on (some) 64 bit buildsRichard Kennedy2010-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reorder structure anon_vma to remove alignment padding on 64 builds when (CONFIG_KSM || CONFIG_MIGRATION). This will shrink the size of the anon_vma structure from 40 to 32 bytes & allow more objects per slab in its kmem_cache. Under slub the objects in the anon_vma kmem_cache will then be 40 bytes with 102 objects per slab. (On v2.6.36 without this patch,the size is 48 bytes and 85 objects/slab.)

* mm: stack based kmap_atomic()Peter Zijlstra2010-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Keep the current interface but ignore the KM_type and use a stack based approach. The advantage is that we get rid of crappy code like: #define __KM_PTE \ (in_nmi() ? KM_NMI_PTE : \ in_irq() ? KM_IRQ_PTE : \ KM_PTE0) and in general can stop worrying about what context we're in and what kmap slots might be appropriate for that. The downside is that FRV kmap_atomic() gets more expensive. For now we use a CPP trick suggested by Andrew: #define kmap_atomic(page, args...) __kmap_atomic(page) to avoid having to touch all kmap_atomic() users in a single patch.

* writeback: do not sleep on the congestion queue if there are no congested ↵Mel Gorman2010-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* vmscan: narrow the scenarios in whcih lumpy reclaim uses synchrounous reclaimKOSAKI Motohiro2010-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | shrink_page_list() can decide to give up reclaiming a page under a number of conditions such as 1. trylock_page() failure 2. page is unevictable 3. zone reclaim and page is mapped 4. PageWriteback() is true 5. page is swapbacked and swap is full 6. add_to_swap() failure 7. page is dirty and gfpmask don't have GFP_IO, GFP_FS 8. page is pinned 9. IO queue is congested 10. pageout() start IO, but not finished With lumpy reclaim, failures result in entering synchronous lumpy reclaim but this can be unnecessary. In cases (2), (3), (5), (6), (7) and (8), there is no point retrying. This patch causes lumpy reclaim to abort when it is known it will fail. Case (9) is more interesting. current behavior is, 1. start shrink_page_list(async) 2. found queue_congested() 3. skip pageout write 4. still start shrink_page_list(sync) 5. wait on a lot of pages 6. again, found queue_congested() 7. give up pageout write again So, it's useless time wasting. However, just skipping page reclaim is also notgood as x86 allocating a huge page needs 512 pages for example. It can have more dirty pages than queue congestion threshold (~=128). After this patch, pageout() behaves as follows; - If order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER Ignore queue congestion always. - If order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER skip write page and disable lumpy reclaim.

There are multiple roots to the problems which means dealing with any of the root problems in isolation is tricky to justify on their own and they would still need integration testing. This patch series puts together two different patch sets which in combination should tackle some of the root causes of latency problems being reported. Patch 1 adds a tracepoint for shrink_inactive_list. For this series, the most important results is being able to calculate the scanning/reclaim ratio as a measure of the amount of work being done by page reclaim. Patch 2 accounts for time spent in congestion_wait. Patches 3-6 were originally developed by Kosaki Motohiro but reworked for this series. It has been noted that lumpy reclaim is far too aggressive and trashes the system somewhat. As SLUB uses high-order allocations, a large cost incurred by lumpy reclaim will be noticeable. It was also reported during transparent hugepage support testing that lumpy reclaim was trashing the system and these patches should mitigate that problem without disabling lumpy reclaim. Patch 7 adds wait_iff_congested() and replaces some callers of congestion_wait(). wait_iff_congested() only sleeps if there is a BDI that is currently congested. Patch 8 notes that any BDI being congested is not necessarily a problem because there could be multiple BDIs of varying speeds and numberous zones. It attempts to track when a zone being reclaimed contains many pages backed by a congested BDI and if so, reclaimers wait on the congestion queue. I ran a number of tests with monitoring on X86, X86-64 and PPC64. Each machine had 3G of RAM and the CPUs were X86: Intel P4 2-core X86-64: AMD Phenom 4-core PPC64: PPC970MP Each used a single disk and the onboard IO controller. Dirty ratio was left at 20. I'm just going to report for X86-64 and PPC64 in a vague attempt to keep this report short.

It's a rough measure of reclaim activity. Note that allocstall counts are higher because we are entering direct reclaim more often as a result of not sleeping in congestion. In itself, it's not necessarily a bad thing. It's easier to get a view of what happened from the vmscan tracepoint report.

The ratio of scanning/reclaimed remains roughly similar. The downside is that kswapd and direct reclaim was awake longer and for a larger percentage of the overall workload. It's possible there were big differences in the amount of time spent reclaiming slab pages between the different kernels which is plausible considering that the micro tests runs after fsmark and sysbench.

Currently there is no way to inspect dirty and writeback speed over time. It's not possible for nr_dirty/nr_writeback. These entries are necessary to give visibility into writeback behaviour. We have /proc/diskstats which lets us understand the io in the block layer. We have blktrace for more in depth understanding. We have e2fsprogs and debugsfs to give insight into the file systems behaviour, but we don't offer our users the ability understand what writeback is doing. There is no way to know how active it is over the whole system, if it's falling behind or to quantify it's efforts. With these values exported users can easily see how much data applications are sending through writeback and also at what rates writeback is processing this data. Comparing the rates of change between the two allow developers to see when writeback is not able to keep up with incoming traffic and the rate of dirty memory being sent to the IO back end. This allows folks to understand their io workloads and track kernel issues. Non kernel engineers at Google often use these counters to solve puzzling performance problems. Patch #4 adds a pernode vmstat file with nr_dirtied and nr_written Patch #5 add writeback thresholds to /proc/vmstat Currently these values are in debugfs. But they should be promoted to /proc since they are useful for developers who are writing databases and file servers and are not debugging the kernel. The output is as below: # grep threshold /proc/vmstat nr_pages_dirty_threshold 409111 nr_pages_dirty_background_threshold 818223 This patch: This allows code outside of the mm core to safely manipulate page writeback state and not worry about the other accounting.

* memory hotplug: unify is_removable and offline detection codeKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2010-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now, sysfs interface of memory hotplug shows whether the section is removable or not. But it checks only migrateype of pages and doesn't check details of cluster of pages. Next, memory hotplug's set_migratetype_isolate() has the same kind of check, too. This patch adds the function __count_unmovable_pages() and makes above 2 checks to use the same logic. Then, is_removable and hotremove code uses the same logic. No changes in the hotremove logic itself. TODO: need to find a way to check RECLAMABLE. But, considering bit, calling shrink_slab() against a range before starting memory hotremove sounds better. If so, this patch's logic doesn't need to be changed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes more dead code that was somehow missed by commit 0d99519efef (writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks). There are no behavior change except for the removal of two entries from one of the ext4 tracing interface. The nonblocking checks in ->writepages are no longer used because the flusher now prefer to block on get_request_wait() than to skip inodes on IO congestion. The latter will lead to more seeky IO. The nonblocking checks in ->writepage are no longer used because it's redundant with the WB_SYNC_NONE check. We no long set ->nonblocking in VM page out and page migration, because a) it's effectively redundant with WB_SYNC_NONE in current code b) it's old semantic of "Don't get stuck on request queues" is mis-behavior: that would skip some dirty inodes on congestion and page out others, which is unfair in terms of LRU age.

* oom: add per-mm oom disable countYing Han2010-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's pointless to kill a task if another thread sharing its mm cannot be killed to allow future memory freeing. A subsequent patch will prevent kills in such cases, but first it's necessary to have a way to flag a task that shares memory with an OOM_DISABLE task that doesn't incur an additional tasklist scan, which would make select_bad_process() an O(n^2) function. This patch adds an atomic counter to struct mm_struct that follows how many threads attached to it have an oom_score_adj of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN. They cannot be killed by the kernel, so their memory cannot be freed in oom conditions. This only requires task_lock() on the task that we're operating on, it does not require mm->mmap_sem since task_lock() pins the mm and the operation is atomic.

So let's disable __kfifo_must_check_helper() for 2.6.36.

Unfortunately the architecture page fault handlers do not have easy access to the struct page. Pass the information out in the fault error code instead. I added a separate VM_FAULT_HWPOISON_LARGE bit for this case and encode the hpage index in some free upper bits of the fault code. The small page hwpoison keeps stays with the VM_FAULT_HWPOISON name to minimize changes. Also add code to hugetlb.h to convert that index into a page shift. Will be used in a further patch.

One of the potential users of this feature is soft offlining which is triggered by memory corrected errors (added by the next patch.) Todo: - there are other users of page migration such as memory policy, memory hotplug and memocy compaction. They are not ready for hugepage support for now. ChangeLog since v4: - define migrate_huge_pages() - remove changes on isolation/putback_lru_page() ChangeLog since v2: - refactor isolate/putback_lru_page() to handle hugepage - add comment about race on unmap_and_move_huge_page() ChangeLog since v1: - divide migration code path for hugepage - define routine checking migration swap entry for hugetlb - replace "goto" with "if/else" in remove_migration_pte() Signed-off-by: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Jun'ichi Nomura <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

The old ones are renamed from copy_{gigantic,huge}_page() to copy_user_{gigantic,huge}_page(). This naming convention is consistent with that between copy_highpage() and copy_user_highpage(). ChangeLog since v4: - add blank line between local declaration and code - remove unnecessary might_sleep() ChangeLog since v2: - change copy_huge_page() from macro to inline dummy function to avoid compile warning when !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE.
