* mm/nommu.c: fix remap_pfn_range()Bob Liu2011-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | remap_pfn_range() means map physical address pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT to user addr. For nommu arch it's implemented by vma->vm_start = pfn << PAGE_SHIFT which is wrong acroding the original meaning of this function. And some driver developer using remap_pfn_range() with correct parameter will get unexpected result because vm_start is changed. It should be implementd like addr = pfn << PAGE_SHIFT but which is meanless on nommu arch, this patch just make it simply return. Parameter name and setting of vma->vm_flags also be fixed.

* memcg: fix numa scan information update to be triggered by memory eventKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2011-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 889976dbcb12 ("memcg: reclaim memory from nodes in round-robin order") adds an numa node round-robin for memcg. But the information is updated once per 10sec. This patch changes the update trigger from jiffies to memcg's event count. After this patch, numa scan information will be updated when we see 1024 events of pagein/pageout under a memcg.

* memcg: fix reclaimable lru check in memcgKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2011-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now, in mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim(), mem_cgroup_local_usage() is used for checking whether the memcg contains reclaimable pages or not. If no pages in it, the routine skips it. But, mem_cgroup_local_usage() contains Unevictable pages and cannot handle "noswap" condition correctly. This doesn't work on a swapless system. This patch adds test_mem_cgroup_reclaimable() and replaces mem_cgroup_local_usage(). test_mem_cgroup_reclaimable() see LRU counter and returns correct answer to the caller. And this new function has "noswap" argument and can see only FILE LRU if necessary.

* mm: vmscan: only read new_classzone_idx from pgdat when reclaiming successfullyMel Gorman2011-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During allocator-intensive workloads, kswapd will be woken frequently causing free memory to oscillate between the high and min watermark. This is expected behaviour. Unfortunately, if the highest zone is small, a problem occurs. When balance_pgdat() returns, it may be at a lower classzone_idx than it started because the highest zone was unreclaimable. Before checking if it should go to sleep though, it checks pgdat->classzone_idx which when there is no other activity will be MAX_NR_ZONES-1. It interprets this as it has been woken up while reclaiming, skips scheduling and reclaims again. As there is no useful reclaim work to do, it enters into a loop of shrinking slab consuming loads of CPU until the highest zone becomes reclaimable for a long period of time. There are two problems here. 1) If the returned classzone or order is lower, it'll continue reclaiming without scheduling. 2) if the highest zone was marked unreclaimable but balance_pgdat() returns immediately at DEF_PRIORITY, the new lower classzone is not communicated back to kswapd() for sleeping. This patch does two things that are related. If the end_zone is unreclaimable, this information is communicated back. Second, if the classzone or order was reduced due to failing to reclaim, new information is not read from pgdat and instead an attempt is made to go to sleep. Due to this, it is also necessary that pgdat->classzone_idx be initialised each time to pgdat->nr_zones - 1 to avoid re-reads being interpreted as wakeups.

* mm: vmscan: evaluate the watermarks against the correct classzoneMel Gorman2011-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When deciding if kswapd is sleeping prematurely, the classzone is taken into account but this is different to what balance_pgdat() and the allocator are doing. Specifically, the DMA zone will be checked based on the classzone used when waking kswapd which could be for a GFP_KERNEL or GFP_HIGHMEM request. The lowmem reserve limit kicks in, the watermark is not met and kswapd thinks it's sleeping prematurely keeping kswapd awake in error.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | zone During allocator-intensive workloads, kswapd will be woken frequently causing free memory to oscillate between the high and min watermark. This is expected behaviour. When kswapd applies pressure to zones during node balancing, it checks if the zone is above a high+balance_gap threshold. If it is, it does not apply pressure but it unconditionally shrinks slab on a global basis which is excessive. In the event kswapd is being kept awake due to a high small unreclaimable zone, it skips zone shrinking but still calls shrink_slab(). Once pressure has been applied, the check for zone being unreclaimable is being made before the check is made if all_unreclaimable should be set. This miss of unreclaimable can cause has_under_min_watermark_zone to be set due to an unreclaimable zone preventing kswapd backing off on congestion_wait().

* mm: vmscan: correct check for kswapd sleeping in sleeping_prematurelyMel Gorman2011-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During allocator-intensive workloads, kswapd will be woken frequently causing free memory to oscillate between the high and min watermark. This is expected behaviour. Unfortunately, if the highest zone is small, a problem occurs. This seems to happen most with recent sandybridge laptops but it's probably a co-incidence as some of these laptops just happen to have a small Normal zone. The reproduction case is almost always during copying large files that kswapd pegs at 100% CPU until the file is deleted or cache is dropped. The problem is mostly down to sleeping_prematurely() keeping kswapd awake when the highest zone is small and unreclaimable and compounded by the fact we shrink slabs even when not shrinking zones causing a lot of time to be spent in shrinkers and a lot of memory to be reclaimed. Patch 1 corrects sleeping_prematurely to check the zones matching the classzone_idx instead of all zones. Patch 2 avoids shrinking slab when we are not shrinking a zone. Patch 3 notes that sleeping_prematurely is checking lower zones against a high classzone which is not what allocators or balance_pgdat() is doing leading to an artifical belief that kswapd should be still awake. Patch 4 notes that when balance_pgdat() gives up on a high zone that the decision is not communicated to sleeping_prematurely() This problem affects 2.6.38.8 for certain and is expected to affect 2.6.39 and 3.0-rc4 as well. If accepted, they need to go to -stable to be picked up by distros and this series is against 3.0-rc4. I've cc'd people that reported similar problems recently to see if they still suffer from the problem and if this fixes it. This patch: correct the check for kswapd sleeping in sleeping_prematurely() During allocator-intensive workloads, kswapd will be woken frequently causing free memory to oscillate between the high and min watermark. This is expected behaviour. A problem occurs if the highest zone is small. balance_pgdat() only considers unreclaimable zones when priority is DEF_PRIORITY but sleeping_prematurely considers all zones. It's possible for this sequence to occur 1. kswapd wakes up and enters balance_pgdat() 2. At DEF_PRIORITY, marks highest zone unreclaimable 3. At DEF_PRIORITY-1, ignores highest zone setting end_zone 4. At DEF_PRIORITY-1, calls shrink_slab freeing memory from highest zone, clearing all_unreclaimable. Highest zone is still unbalanced 5. kswapd returns and calls sleeping_prematurely 6. sleeping_prematurely looks at *all* zones, not just the ones being considered by balance_pgdat. The highest small zone has all_unreclaimable cleared but the zone is not balanced. all_zones_ok is false so kswapd stays awake This patch corrects the behaviour of sleeping_prematurely to check the zones balance_pgdat() checked.

* memcg: fix direct softlimit reclaim to be called in limit pathKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2011-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit d149e3b25d7c ("memcg: add the soft_limit reclaim in global direct reclaim") adds a softlimit hook to shrink_zones(). By this, soft limit is called as try_to_free_pages() do_try_to_free_pages() shrink_zones() mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim() Then, direct reclaim is memcg softlimit hint aware, now. But, the memory cgroup's "limit" path can call softlimit shrinker. try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages() do_try_to_free_pages() shrink_zones() mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim() This will cause a global reclaim when a memcg hits limit. This is bug. soft_limit_reclaim() should be called when scanning_global_lru(sc) == true. And the commit adds a variable "total_scanned" for counting softlimit scanned pages....it's not "total". This patch removes the variable and update sc->nr_scanned instead of it. This will affect shrink_slab()'s scan condition but, global LRU is scanned by softlimit and I think this change makes sense. TODO: avoid too much scanning of a zone when softlimit did enough work.

* tmpfs: add shmem_read_mapping_page_gfpHugh Dickins2011-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although it is used (by i915) on nothing but tmpfs, read_cache_page_gfp() is unsuited to tmpfs, because it inserts a page into pagecache before calling the filesystem's ->readpage: tmpfs may have pages in swapcache which only it knows how to locate and switch to filecache. At present tmpfs provides a ->readpage method, and copes with this by copying pages; but soon we can simplify it by removing its ->readpage. Provide shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() now, ready for that transition, Export shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() and add it to list in shmem_fs.h, with shmem_read_mapping_page() inline for the common mapping_gfp case. (shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp or shmem_read_cache_page_gfp? Generally the read_mapping_page functions use the mapping's ->readpage, and the read_cache_page functions use the supplied filler, so I think read_cache_page_gfp was slightly misnamed.)

* tmpfs: take control of its truncate_rangeHugh Dickins2011-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 2.6.35's new truncate convention gave tmpfs the opportunity to control its file truncation, no longer enforced from outside by vmtruncate(). We shall want to build upon that, to handle pagecache and swap together. Slightly redefine the ->truncate_range interface: let it now be called between the unmap_mapping_range()s, with the filesystem responsible for doing the truncate_inode_pages_range() from it - just as the filesystem is nowadays responsible for doing that from its ->setattr. Let's rename shmem_notify_change() to shmem_setattr(). Instead of calling the generic truncate_setsize(), bring that code in so we can call shmem_truncate_range() - which will later be updated to perform its own variant of truncate_inode_pages_range(). Remove the punch_hole unmap_mapping_range() from shmem_truncate_range(): now that the COW's unmap_mapping_range() comes after ->truncate_range, there is no need to call it a third time. Export shmem_truncate_range() and add it to the list in shmem_fs.h, so that i915_gem_object_truncate() can call it explicitly in future; get this patch in first, then update drm/i915 once this is available (until then, i915 will just be doing the truncate_inode_pages() twice). Though introduced five years ago, no other filesystem is implementing ->truncate_range, and its only other user is madvise(,,MADV_REMOVE): we expect to convert it to fallocate(,FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE,,) shortly, whereupon ->truncate_range can be removed from inode_operations - shmem_truncate_range() will help i915 across that transition too.

* mm: avoid anon_vma_chain allocation under anon_vma lockLinus Torvalds2011-06-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hugh Dickins points out that lockdep (correctly) spots a potential deadlock on the anon_vma lock, because we now do a GFP_KERNEL allocation of anon_vma_chain while doing anon_vma_clone(). The problem is that page reclaim will want to take the anon_vma lock of any anonymous pages that it will try to reclaim. So re-organize the code in anon_vma_clone() slightly: first do just a GFP_NOWAIT allocation, which will usually work fine. But if that fails, let's just drop the lock and re-do the allocation, now with GFP_KERNEL. End result: not only do we avoid the locking problem, this also ends up getting better concurrency in case the allocation does need to block. Tim Chen reports that with all these anon_vma locking tweaks, we're now almost back up to the spinlock performance.

Because of the need to potentially release the anon_vma's, it's a bit more complex, though. We traverse the 'vma->anon_vma_chain' in two phases: the first loop gets the anon_vma lock (with the helper function that only takes the lock once for the whole loop), and removes any entries that don't need any more processing. The second phase just traverses the remaining list entries (without holding the anon_vma lock), and does any actual freeing of the anon_vma's that is required.

* mm: avoid repeated anon_vma lock/unlock sequences in anon_vma_clone()Linus Torvalds2011-06-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In anon_vma_clone() we traverse the vma->anon_vma_chain of the source vma, locking the anon_vma for each entry. But they are all going to have the same root entry, which means that we're locking and unlocking the same lock over and over again. Which is expensive in locked operations, but can get _really_ expensive when that root entry sees any kind of lock contention. In fact, Tim Chen reports a big performance regression due to this: when we switched to use a mutex instead of a spinlock, the contention case gets much worse. So to alleviate this all, this commit creates a small helper function (lock_anon_vma_root()) that can be used to take the lock just once rather than taking and releasing it over and over again. We still have the same "take the lock and release" it behavior in the exit path (in unlink_anon_vmas()), but that one is a bit harder to fix since we're actually freeing the anon_vma entries as we go, and that will touch the lock too.

* mm: get rid of the most spurious find_vma_prev() usersLinus Torvalds2011-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have some users of this function that date back to before the vma list was doubly linked, and just are silly. These days, you can find the previous vma by just following the vma->vm_prev pointer. In some cases you don't need any find_vma() lookup at all, and in other cases you're better off with the regular "find_vma()" that uses the vma cache front-end lookup. Some "find_vma_prev()" users are still valid, though. For example, in the case of a stack that grows up, it can be the case that we don't find any 'vma' at all (because we're looking up an address that is past the last vma), and that the stack that we want to grow is the 'prev' vma. But that kind of special case aside, we generally should prefer to use 'find_vma()'. Noticed due to a totally unrelated POWER memory corruption bug that just happened to hit in 'find_vma_prev()' and made me go "Hmm - why are we using that function here?".

* mm: compaction: abort compaction if too many pages are isolated and caller ↵Mel Gorman2011-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | is asynchronous V2 Asynchronous compaction is used when promoting to huge pages. This is all very nice but if there are a number of processes in compacting memory, a large number of pages can be isolated. An "asynchronous" process can stall for long periods of time as a result with a user reporting that firefox can stall for 10s of seconds. This patch aborts asynchronous compaction if too many pages are isolated as it's better to fail a hugepage promotion than stall a process.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | next zone Compaction works with two scanners, a migration and a free scanner. When the scanners crossover, migration within the zone is complete. The location of the scanner is recorded on each cycle to avoid excesive scanning. When a zone is small and mostly reserved, it's very easy for the migration scanner to be close to the end of the zone. Then the following situation can occurs o migration scanner isolates some pages near the end of the zone o free scanner starts at the end of the zone but finds that the migration scanner is already there o free scanner gets reinitialised for the next cycle as cc->migrate_pfn + pageblock_nr_pages moving the free scanner into the next zone o migration scanner moves into the next zone When this happens, NR_ISOLATED accounting goes haywire because some of the accounting happens against the wrong zone. One zones counter remains positive while the other goes negative even though the overall global count is accurate. This was reported on X86-32 with !SMP because !SMP allows the negative counters to be visible. The fact that it is the bug should theoritically be possible there.

I thought compaction_suitable should return COMPACT_PARTIAL in -1000 case, because in this case allocation could succeed depending on watermarks. The impact of this is that compaction starts and compact_finished() is called which rechecks the watermarks and the free lists. It should have the same result in that compaction should not start but is more expensive.

* mm/memory-failure.c: fix page isolated count mismatchMinchan Kim2011-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pages isolated for migration are accounted with the vmstat counters NR_ISOLATE_[ANON|FILE]. Callers of migrate_pages() are expected to increment these counters when pages are isolated from the LRU. Once the pages have been migrated, they are put back on the LRU or freed and the isolated count is decremented. Memory failure is not properly accounting for pages it isolates causing the NR_ISOLATED counters to be negative. On SMP builds, this goes unnoticed as negative counters are treated as 0 due to expected per-cpu drift. On UP builds, the counter is treated by too_many_isolated() as a large value causing processes to enter D state during page reclaim or compaction. This patch accounts for pages isolated by memory failure correctly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on Michal Hocko's comment. We are not draining per cpu cached charges during soft limit reclaim because background reclaim doesn't care about charges. It tries to free some memory and charges will not give any.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For performance, memory cgroup caches some "charge" from res_counter into per cpu cache. This works well but because it's cache, it needs to be flushed in some cases. Typical cases are 1. when someone hit limit. 2. when rmdir() is called and need to charges to be 0. But "1" has problem. Recently, with large SMP machines, we see many kworker runs because of flushing memcg's cache. Bad things in implementation are that even if a cpu contains a cache for memcg not related to a memcg which hits limit, drain code is called. This patch does A) check percpu cache contains a useful data or not. B) check other asynchronous percpu draining doesn't run. C) don't call local cpu callback.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 21a3c9646873 ("memcg: allocate memory cgroup structures in local nodes") makes page_cgroup allocation as NUMA aware. But that caused a problem https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36192. The problem was getting a NID from invalid struct pages, which was not initialized because it was out-of-node, out of [node_start_pfn, node_end_pfn) Now, with sparsemem, page_cgroup_init scans pfn from 0 to max_pfn. But this may scan a pfn which is not on any node and can access memmap which is not initialized. This makes page_cgroup_init() for SPARSEMEM node aware and remove a code to get nid from page->flags. (Then, we'll use valid NID always.)

* mm: fix negative commitlimit when gigantic hugepages are allocatedRafael Aquini2011-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When 1GB hugepages are allocated on a system, free(1) reports less available memory than what really is installed in the box. Also, if the total size of hugepages allocated on a system is over half of the total memory size, CommitLimit becomes a negative number. The problem is that gigantic hugepages (order > MAX_ORDER) can only be allocated at boot with bootmem, thus its frames are not accounted to 'totalram_pages'. However, they are accounted to hugetlb_total_pages() What happens to turn CommitLimit into a negative number is this calculation, in fs/proc/meminfo.c: allowed = ((totalram_pages - hugetlb_total_pages()) * sysctl_overcommit_ratio / 100) + total_swap_pages; A similar calculation occurs in __vm_enough_memory() in mm/mmap.c. Also, every vm statistic which depends on 'totalram_pages' will render confusing values, as if system were 'missing' some part of its memory. Impact of this bug: When gigantic hugepages are allocated and sysctl_overcommit_memory == OVERCOMMIT_NEVER. In a such situation, __vm_enough_memory() goes through the mentioned 'allowed' calculation and might end up mistakenly returning -ENOMEM, thus forcing the system to start reclaiming pages earlier than it would be ususal, and this could cause detrimental impact to overall system's performance, depending on the workload. Besides the aforementioned scenario, I can only think of this causing annoyances with memory reports from /proc/meminfo and free(1).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During memory hotplug we refresh zonelists when we online a page in a new zone. It means that the node's zonelist is not initialized until pages are onlined. So for example, "nid" passed by MEM_GOING_ONLINE notifier will point to NODE_DATA(nid) which has no zone fallback list. Moreover, if we hot-add cpu-only nodes, alloc_pages() will do no fallback. This patch makes a zonelist when a new pgdata is available. Note: in production, at fujitsu, memory should be onlined before cpu and our server didn't have any memory-less nodes and had no problems. But recent changes in MEM_GOING_ONLINE+page_cgroup will access not initialized zonelist of node. Anyway, there are memory-less node and we need some care.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 56de7263fcf3 ("mm: compaction: direct compact when a high-order allocation fails") introduced a check for cc->order == -1 in compact_finished. We should continue compacting in that case because the request came from userspace and there is no particular order to compact for. Similar check has been added by 82478fb7 (mm: compaction: prevent division-by-zero during user-requested compaction) for compaction_suitable. The check is, however, done after zone_watermark_ok which uses order as a right hand argument for shifts. Not only watermark check is pointless if we can break out without it but it also uses 1 << -1 which is not well defined (at least from C standard). Let's move the -1 check above zone_watermark_ok.

That was commit d16dfc550f53 ("mm: mmu_gather rework"). The code in zap_pte_range() has something that looks like the following: pte = pte_offset_map_lock(mm, pmd, addr, &ptl); do { [...] } while (pte++, addr += PAGE_SIZE, addr != end); pte_unmap_unlock(pte - 1, ptl); The pte starts off pointing at the first element in the page table directory that was returned by the pte_offset_map_lock(). When it's done with the page, pte will be pointing to anything between the next entry and the first entry of the next page inclusive. By doing a pte - 1, this puts the pte back onto the original page, which is all that pte_unmap_unlock() needs. In most archs (64 bit), this is not an issue as the pte is ignored in the pte_unmap_unlock(). But on 32 bit archs, where things may be kmapped, it is essential that the pte passed to pte_unmap_unlock() resides on the same page that was given by pte_offest_map_lock(). The problem came in d16dfc55 ("mm: mmu_gather rework") where it introduced a "break;" from the while loop. This alone did not seem to easily trigger the bug. But the modifications made by e303297e6 caused that "break;" to be hit on the first iteration, before the pte++. The pte not being incremented will now cause pte_unmap_unlock(pte - 1) to be pointing to the previous page. This will cause the wrong page to be unmapped, and also trigger the warning above. The simple solution is to just save the pointer given by pte_offset_map_lock() and use it in the unlock.

Thus such above intermittent running process often get a token. And currently, swap token priority is only decreased at page fault path. Then, if the process sleep immediately after to grab swap token, the swap token priority never be decreased. That's obviously undesirable.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, memcg reclaim can disable swap token even if the swap token mm doesn't belong in its memory cgroup. It's slightly risky. If an admin creates very small mem-cgroup and silly guy runs contentious heavy memory pressure workload, every tasks are going to lose swap token and then system may become unresponsive. That's bad. This patch adds 'memcg' parameter into disable_swap_token(). and if the parameter doesn't match swap token, VM doesn't disable it.

The only places that are required to update the vmstat are the callers of alloc_hugepage (callers of khugepaged_alloc_hugepage aren't).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On an architecture without CMPXCHG_LOCAL but with DEBUG_VM enabled, the VM_BUG_ON() in __pcpu_double_call_return_bool() will cause an early panic during boot unless we always align cpu_slab properly. In principle we could remove the alignment-testing VM_BUG_ON() for architectures that don't have CMPXCHG_LOCAL, but leaving it in means that new code will tend not to break x86 even if it is introduced on another platform, and it's low cost to require alignment.

On network filesystems we might have had suid/caps set on another client, silently picked by this client on revalidate, all of that *without* clearing the S_NOSEC flag. AFAICS, the only reasonably sane way to deal with that is * new superblock flag; unless set, S_NOSEC is not going to be set. * local block filesystems set it in their ->mount() (more accurately, mount_bdev() does, so does btrfs ->mount(), users of mount_bdev() other than local block ones clear it) * if any network filesystem (or a cluster one) wants to use S_NOSEC, it'll need to set MS_NOSEC in sb->s_flags *AND* take care to clear S_NOSEC when inode attribute changes are picked from other clients. It's not an earth-shattering hole (anybody that can set suid on another client will almost certainly be able to write to the file before doing that anyway), but it's a bug that needs fixing.

* / Revert "mm: fail GFP_DMA allocations when ZONE_DMA is not configured"Linus Torvalds2011-06-01
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
