* vmscan: handle may_swap more strictlyDaisuke Nishimura2009-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 2e2e425989080cc534fc0fca154cae515f971cf5 ("vmscan,memcg: reintroduce sc->may_swap) add may_swap flag and handle it at get_scan_ratio(). But the result of get_scan_ratio() is ignored when priority == 0, so anon lru is scanned even if may_swap == 0 or nr_swap_pages == 0. IMHO, this is not an expected behavior. As for memcg especially, because of this behavior many and many pages are swapped-out just in vain when oom is invoked by mem+swap limit. This patch is for handling may_swap flag more strictly.

* vmscan: merge duplicate code in shrink_active_list()Wu Fengguang2009-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "move pages to active list" and "move pages to inactive list" code blocks are mostly identical and can be served by a function. Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing this out. Note that buffer_heads_over_limit check will also be carried out for re-activated pages, which is slightly different from pre-2.6.28 kernels. Also, Rik's "vmscan: evict use-once pages first" patch could totally stop scans of active file list when memory pressure is low. So the net effect could be, the number of buffer heads is now more likely to grow large. However that's fine according to Johannes' comments: I don't think that this could be harmful. We just preserve the buffer mappings of what we consider the working set and with low memory pressure, as you say, this set is not big. As to stripping of reactivated pages: the only pages we re-activate for now are those VM_EXEC mapped ones. Since we don't expect IO from or to these pages, removing the buffer mappings in case they grow too large should be okay, I guess.

* vmscan: make mapped executable pages the first class citizenWu Fengguang2009-06-16

PROT_EXEC(or its internal presentation VM_EXEC) pages normally belong to some currently running executables and their linked libraries, they shall really be cached aggressively to provide good user experiences. Thanks to Johannes Weiner for the advice to reuse the VMA walk in page_referenced() to get the PROT_EXEC bit. [more details] ( The consequences of this patch will have to be discussed together with Rik van Riel's recent patch "vmscan: evict use-once pages first". ) ( Some of the good points and insights are taken into this changelog. Thanks to all the involved people for the great LKML discussions. ) the problem =========== For a typical desktop, the most precious working set is composed of *actively accessed* (1) memory mapped executables (2) and their anonymous pages (3) and other files (4) and the dcache/icache/.. slabs while the least important data are (5) infrequently used or use-once files For a typical desktop, one major problem is busty and large amount of (5) use-once files flushing out the working set. Inside the working set, (4) dcache/icache have already been too sticky ;-) So we only have to care (2) anonymous and (1)(3) file pages. anonymous pages =============== Anonymous pages are effectively immune to the streaming IO attack, because we now have separate file/anon LRU lists. When the use-once files crowd into the file LRU, the list's "quality" is significantly lowered. Therefore the scan balance policy in get_scan_ratio() will choose to scan the (low quality) file LRU much more frequently than the anon LRU. file pages ========== Rik proposed to *not* scan the active file LRU when the inactive list grows larger than active list. This guarantees that when there are use-once streaming IO, and the working set is not too large(so that active_size < inactive_size), the active file LRU will *not* be scanned at all. So the not-too-large working set can be well protected. But there are also situations where the file working set is a bit large so that (active_size >= inactive_size), or the streaming IOs are not purely use-once. In these cases, the active list will be scanned slowly. Because the current shrink_active_list() policy is to deactivate active pages regardless of their referenced bits. The deactivated pages become susceptible to the streaming IO attack: the inactive list could be scanned fast (500MB / 50MBps = 10s) so that the deactivated pages don't have enough time to get re-referenced. Because a user tend to switch between windows in intervals from seconds to minutes. This patch holds mapped executable pages in the active list as long as they are referenced during each full scan of the active list. Because the active list is normally scanned much slower, they get longer grace time (eg. 100s) for further references, which better matches the pace of user operations. Therefore this patch greatly prolongs the in-cache time of executable code, when there are moderate memory pressures. before patch: guaranteed to be cached if reference intervals < I after patch: guaranteed to be cached if reference intervals < I+A (except when randomly reclaimed by the lumpy reclaim) where A = time to fully scan the active file LRU I = time to fully scan the inactive file LRU Note that normally A >> I. side effects ============ This patch is safe in general, it restores the pre-2.6.28 mmap() behavior but in a much smaller and well targeted scope. One may worry about some one to abuse the PROT_EXEC heuristic. But as Andrew Morton stated, there are other tricks to getting that sort of boost. Another concern is the PROT_EXEC mapped pages growing large in rare cases, and therefore hurting reclaim efficiency. But a sane application targeted for large audience will never use PROT_EXEC for data mappings. If some home made application tries to abuse that bit, it shall be aware of the consequences. If it is abused to scale of 2/3 total memory, it gains nothing but overheads. benchmarks ========== 1) memory tight desktop 1.1) brief summary - clock time and major faults are reduced by 50%; - pswpin numbers are reduced to ~1/3. That means X desktop responsiveness is doubled under high memory/swap pressure. 1.2) test scenario - nfsroot gnome desktop with 512M physical memory - run some programs, and switch between the existing windows after starting each new program. 1.3) progress timing (seconds) before after programs 0.02 0.02 N xeyes 0.75 0.76 N firefox 2.02 1.88 N nautilus 3.36 3.17 N nautilus --browser 5.26 4.89 N gthumb 7.12 6.47 N gedit 9.22 8.16 N xpdf /usr/share/doc/shared-mime-info/shared-mime-info-spec.pdf 13.58 12.55 N xterm 15.87 14.57 N mlterm 18.63 17.06 N gnome-terminal 21.16 18.90 N urxvt 26.24 23.48 N gnome-system-monitor 28.72 26.52 N gnome-help 32.15 29.65 N gnome-dictionary 39.66 36.12 N /usr/games/sol 43.16 39.27 N /usr/games/gnometris 48.65 42.56 N /usr/games/gnect 53.31 47.03 N /usr/games/gtali 58.60 52.05 N /usr/games/iagno 65.77 55.42 N /usr/games/gnotravex 70.76 61.47 N /usr/games/mahjongg 76.15 67.11 N /usr/games/gnome-sudoku 86.32 75.15 N /usr/games/glines 92.21 79.70 N /usr/games/glchess 103.79 88.48 N /usr/games/gnomine 113.84 96.51 N /usr/games/gnotski 124.40 102.19 N /usr/games/gnibbles 137.41 114.93 N /usr/games/gnobots2 155.53 125.02 N /usr/games/blackjack 179.85 135.11 N /usr/games/same-gnome 224.49 154.50 N /usr/bin/gnome-window-properties 248.44 162.09 N /usr/bin/gnome-default-applications-properties 282.62 173.29 N /usr/bin/gnome-at-properties 323.72 188.21 N /usr/bin/gnome-typing-monitor 363.99 199.93 N /usr/bin/gnome-at-visual 394.21 206.95 N /usr/bin/gnome-sound-properties 435.14 224.49 N /usr/bin/gnome-at-mobility 463.05 234.11 N /usr/bin/gnome-keybinding-properties 503.75 248.59 N /usr/bin/gnome-about-me 554.00 276.27 N /usr/bin/gnome-display-properties 615.48 304.39 N /usr/bin/gnome-network-preferences 693.03 342.01 N /usr/bin/gnome-mouse-properties 759.90 388.58 N /usr/bin/gnome-appearance-properties 937.90 508.47 N /usr/bin/gnome-control-center 1109.75 587.57 N /usr/bin/gnome-keyboard-properties 1399.05 758.16 N : oocalc 1524.64 830.03 N : oodraw 1684.31 900.03 N : ooimpress 1874.04 993.91 N : oomath 2115.12 1081.89 N : ooweb 2369.02 1161.99 N : oowriter Note that the last ": oo*" commands are actually commented out. 1.4) vmstat numbers (some relevant ones are marked with *) before after nr_free_pages 1293 3898 nr_inactive_anon 59956 53460 nr_active_anon 26815 30026 nr_inactive_file 2657 3218 nr_active_file 2019 2806 nr_unevictable 4 4 nr_mlock 4 4 nr_anon_pages 26706 27859 *nr_mapped 3542 4469 nr_file_pages 72232 67681 nr_dirty 1 0 nr_writeback 123 19 nr_slab_reclaimable 3375 3534 nr_slab_unreclaimable 11405 10665 nr_page_table_pages 8106 7864 nr_unstable 0 0 nr_bounce 0 0 *nr_vmscan_write 394776 230839 nr_writeback_temp 0 0 numa_hit 6843353 3318676 numa_miss 0 0 numa_foreign 0 0 numa_interleave 1719 1719 numa_local 6843353 3318676 numa_other 0 0 *pgpgin 5954683 2057175 *pgpgout 1578276 922744 *pswpin 1486615 512238 *pswpout 394568 230685 pgalloc_dma 277432 56602 pgalloc_dma32 6769477 3310348 pgalloc_normal 0 0 pgalloc_movable 0 0 pgfree 7048396 3371118 pgactivate 2036343 1471492 pgdeactivate 2189691 1612829 pgfault 3702176 3100702 *pgmajfault 452116 201343 pgrefill_dma 12185 7127 pgrefill_dma32 334384 653703 pgrefill_normal 0 0 pgrefill_movable 0 0 pgsteal_dma 74214 22179 pgsteal_dma32 3334164 1638029 pgsteal_normal 0 0 pgsteal_movable 0 0 pgscan_kswapd_dma 1081421 1216199 pgscan_kswapd_dma32 58979118 46002810 pgscan_kswapd_normal 0 0 pgscan_kswapd_movable 0 0 pgscan_direct_dma 2015438 1086109 pgscan_direct_dma32 55787823 36101597 pgscan_direct_normal 0 0 pgscan_direct_movable 0 0 pginodesteal 3461 7281 slabs_scanned 564864 527616 kswapd_steal 2889797 1448082 kswapd_inodesteal 14827 14835 pageoutrun 43459 21562 allocstall 9653 4032 pgrotated 384216 228631 1.5) free numbers at the end of the tests before patch: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 474 467 7 0 0 236 -/+ buffers/cache: 230 243 Swap: 1023 418 605 after patch: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 474 457 16 0 0 236 -/+ buffers/cache: 221 253 Swap: 1023 404 619 2) memory flushing in a file server 2.1) brief summary The number of major faults from 50 to 3 during 10% cache hot reads.

I'd attribute that improvement to the mmap readahead improvements :-) - The pgmajfault increment during the file copy is 633-630=3 vs 260-210=50. That's a huge improvement - which means with the VM_EXEC protection logic, active mmap pages is pretty safe even under partially cache hot streaming IO. - when active:inactive file lru size reaches 1:1, their scan rates is 1:20.8 under 10% cache hot IO. (computed with formula Dpgdeactivate:Dpgfree) That roughly means the active mmap pages get 20.8 more chances to get re-referenced to stay in memory. - The absolute nr_mapped drops considerably to 1/9 during the big IO, and the dropped pages are mostly inactive ones. The patch has almost no impact in this aspect, that means it won't unnecessarily increase memory pressure. (In contrast, your 20% mmap protection ratio will keep them all, and therefore eliminate the extra 41 major faults to restore working set of zsh etc.) The iotrace.rb read throughput is 151.194384MB/s 284.198252s 100001x 450560b --load pattern-hot-10 --play /b/sparse which means the inactive list is rotated at the speed of 250MB/s, so a full scan of which takes about 3.5 seconds, while a full scan of active file list takes about 77 seconds. 2.4) X mode results We can reach roughly the same conclusions for X desktop: nr_mapped nr_active_file nr_inactive_file pgmajfault pgdeactivate pgfree 2.6.30-rc4-mm VM_EXEC protection ON: begin: 9740 8920 64075 561 0 678360 end: 768 218254 220029 565 798953 21057006 restore: 857 218543 220987 606 799462 21075710 restore X: 2414 218560 225344 797 799462 21080795 2.6.30-rc4-mm VM_EXEC protection OFF: begin: 9368 5035 26389 554 0 633391 end: 770 218449 221230 661 646472 17832500 restore: 1113 218466 220978 710 649881 17905235 restore X: 2687 218650 225484 947 802700 21083584 - the absolute nr_mapped drops considerably (to 1/13 of the original size) during the streaming IO. - the delta of pgmajfault is 3 vs 107 during IO, or 236 vs 393 during the whole process.

This patch is for necessary interface changes to do that. 2 interfaces: - swapcache_prepare() - swapcache_free() are added for allocating/freeing refcnt from swap-cache to existing swap entries. But implementation itself is not changed under this patch. At adding swapcache_free(), memcg's hook code is moved under swapcache_free(). This is better than using scattered hooks.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the file LRU lists are dominated by streaming IO pages, evict those pages first, before considering evicting other pages. This should be safe from deadlocks or performance problems because only three things can happen to an inactive file page: 1) referenced twice and promoted to the active list 2) evicted by the pageout code 3) under IO, after which it will get evicted or promoted The pages freed in this way can either be reused for streaming IO, or allocated for something else. If the pages are used for streaming IO, this pageout pattern continues. Otherwise, we will fall back to the normal pageout pattern.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ALLOC_WMARK_MIN, ALLOC_WMARK_LOW and ALLOC_WMARK_HIGH determin whether pages_min, pages_low or pages_high is used as the zone watermark when allocating the pages. Two branches in the allocator hotpath determine which watermark to use. This patch uses the flags as an array index into a watermark array that is indexed with WMARK_* defines accessed via helpers. All call sites that use zone->pages_* are updated to use the helpers for accessing the values and the array offsets for setting.

* vmscan: low order lumpy reclaim also should use PAGEOUT_IO_SYNCKOSAKI Motohiro2009-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 33c120ed2843090e2bd316de1588b8bf8b96cbde ("more aggressively use lumpy reclaim") increased how aggressive lumpy reclaim was by isolating both active and inactive pages for asynchronous lumpy reclaim on costly-high-order pages and for cheap-high-order when memory pressure is high. However, if the system is under heavy pressure and there are dirty pages, asynchronous IO may not be sufficient to reclaim a suitable page in time. This patch causes the caller to enter synchronous lumpy reclaim for costly-high-order pages and for cheap-high-order pages when under memory pressure. Minchan.kim@gmail.com said: Andy added synchronous lumpy reclaim with c661b078fd62abe06fd11fab4ac5e4eeafe26b6d. At that time, lumpy reclaim is not agressive. His intension is just for high-order users.(above PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER). After some time, Rik added aggressive lumpy reclaim with 33c120ed2843090e2bd316de1588b8bf8b96cbde. His intention was to do lumpy reclaim when high-order users and trouble getting a small set of contiguous pages. So we also have to add synchronous pageout for small set of contiguous pages.

The first stage using zone_reclaim() reclaims unmapped file backed pages and slab pages if over defined limits as these are cheaper to reclaim. The caller specifies the order of the target allocation but the scan control is not being correctly initialised. The impact is that the correct number of pages are being reclaimed but that lumpy reclaim is not being applied. This increases the chances of a full direct reclaim via try_to_free_pages() is required. This patch initialises the order field of the scan control as requested by the caller.

In shrink_all_memory() sc->swap_cluster_max is initialized to the overall reclaim goal in the beginning but not decreased while reclaim is making progress which leads to subsequent calls to shrink_inactive_list() reclaiming way too much in the one iteration that is done unconditionally. Set sc->swap_cluster_max always to the proper goal before doing shrink_all_zones() shrink_list() shrink_inactive_list().

Sidenote: it might make sense to make this purpose of these macros more apparent, by naming them the standard way, such as: DEFINE_node_to_cpumask_ptr(cpumask, pgdat->node_id); (But that is outside the scope of this patch.)

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>

* memcg: fix calculation of active_ratioKOSAKI Motohiro2009-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, inactive_ratio of memcg is calculated at setting limit. because page_alloc.c does so and current implementation is straightforward porting. However, memcg introduced hierarchy feature recently. In hierarchy restriction, memory limit is not only decided memory.limit_in_bytes of current cgroup, but also parent limit and sibling memory usage. Then, The optimal inactive_ratio is changed frequently. So, everytime calculation is better.
