* mm: vmscan: compaction works against zones, not lruvecsJohannes Weiner2013-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The restart logic for when reclaim operates back to back with compaction is currently applied on the lruvec level. But this does not make sense, because the container of interest for compaction is a zone as a whole, not the zone pages that are part of a certain memory cgroup. Negative impact is bounded. For one, the code checks that the lruvec has enough reclaim candidates, so it does not risk getting stuck on a condition that can not be fulfilled. And the unfairness of hammering on one particular memory cgroup to make progress in a zone will be amortized by the round robin manner in which reclaim goes through the memory cgroups. Still, this can lead to unnecessary allocation latencies when the code elects to restart on a hard to reclaim or small group when there are other, more reclaimable groups in the zone. Move this logic to the zone level and restart reclaim for all memory cgroups in a zone when compaction requires more free pages from it.

* mm: vmscan: clean up get_scan_count()Johannes Weiner2013-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reclaim pressure balance between anon and file pages is calculated through a tuple of numerators and a shared denominator. Exceptional cases that want to force-scan anon or file pages configure the numerators and denominator such that one list is preferred, which is not necessarily the most obvious way: fraction[0] = 1; fraction[1] = 0; denominator = 1; goto out; Make this easier by making the force-scan cases explicit and use the fractionals only in case they are calculated from reclaim history.

* mm: vmscan: clarify how swappiness, highest priority, memcg interactJohannes Weiner2013-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A swappiness of 0 has a slightly different meaning for global reclaim (may swap if file cache really low) and memory cgroup reclaim (never swap, ever). In addition, global reclaim at highest priority will scan all LRU lists equal to their size and ignore other balancing heuristics. UNLESS swappiness forbids swapping, then the lists are balanced based on recent reclaim effectiveness. UNLESS file cache is running low, then anonymous pages are force-scanned. This (total mess of a) behaviour is implicit and not obvious from the way the code is organized. At least make it apparent in the code flow and document the conditions. It will be it easier to come up with sane semantics later.

* mm: vmscan: save work scanning (almost) empty LRU listsJohannes Weiner2013-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In certain cases (kswapd reclaim, memcg target reclaim), a fixed minimum amount of pages is scanned from the LRU lists on each iteration, to make progress. Do not make this minimum bigger than the respective LRU list size, however, and save some busy work trying to isolate and reclaim pages that are not there. Empty LRU lists are quite common with memory cgroups in NUMA environments because there exists a set of LRU lists for each zone for each memory cgroup, while the memory of a single cgroup is expected to stay on just one node. The number of expected empty LRU lists is thus memcgs * (nodes - 1) * lru types Each attempt to reclaim from an empty LRU list does expensive size comparisons between lists, acquires the zone's lru lock etc. Avoid that.

The *really* big items are two humonguous patchsets mostly developed by Yinghai Lu at my request, which completely revamps the way we create initial page tables. In particular, rather than estimating how much memory we will need for page tables and then build them into that memory -- a calculation that has shown to be incredibly fragile -- we now build them (on 64 bits) with the aid of a "pseudo-linear mode" -- a #PF handler which creates temporary page tables on demand. This has several advantages: 1. It makes it much easier to support things that need access to data very early (a followon patchset uses this to load microcode way early in the kernel startup). 2. It allows the kernel and all the kernel data objects to be invoked from above the 4 GB limit. This allows kdump to work on very large systems. 3. It greatly reduces the difference between Xen and native (Xen's equivalent of the #PF handler are the temporary page tables created by the domain builder), eliminating a bunch of fragile hooks. The patch series also gets us a bit closer to W^X. Additional work in this pull is the 64-bit get_user() work which you were also involved with, and a bunch of cleanups/speedups to __phys_addr()/__pa()." * 'x86-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (105 commits) x86, mm: Move reserving low memory later in initialization x86, doc: Clarify the use of asm("%edx") in uaccess.h x86, mm: Redesign get_user with a __builtin_choose_expr hack x86: Be consistent with data size in getuser.S x86, mm: Use a bitfield to mask nuisance get_user() warnings x86/kvm: Fix compile warning in kvm_register_steal_time() x86-32: Add support for 64bit get_user() x86-32, mm: Remove reference to alloc_remap() x86-32, mm: Remove reference to resume_map_numa_kva() x86-32, mm: Rip out x86_32 NUMA remapping code x86/numa: Use __pa_nodebug() instead x86: Don't panic if can not alloc buffer for swiotlb mm: Add alloc_bootmem_low_pages_nopanic() x86, 64bit, mm: hibernate use generic mapping_init x86, 64bit, mm: Mark data/bss/brk to nx x86: Merge early kernel reserve for 32bit and 64bit x86: Add Crash kernel low reservation x86, kdump: Remove crashkernel range find limit for 64bit memblock: Add memblock_mem_size() x86, boot: Not need to check setup_header version for setup_data ...

All other architectures track dirty bits by means of page table entries. This property of s390 has caused numerous problems in the past, e.g. see git commit ef5d437f71afdf4a "mm: fix XFS oops due to dirty pages without buffers on s390". To avoid future issues in regard to per-page dirty bits convert s390 to a fault based software dirty bit detection mechanism. All user page table entries which are marked as clean will be hardware read-only, even if the pte is supposed to be writable. A write by the user process will trigger a protection fault which will cause the user pte to be marked as dirty and the hardware read-only bit is removed. With this change the dirty bit in the storage key is irrelevant for Linux as a host, but the storage key is still required for KVM guests. The effect is that page_test_and_clear_dirty and the related code can be removed. The referenced bit in the storage key is still used by the page_test_and_clear_young primitive to provide page age information. For page cache pages of mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty there will not be any change in behavior as the dirty bit tracking already uses read-only ptes to control the amount of dirty pages. Only for swap cache pages and pages of mappings without mapping_cap_account_dirty there can be additional protection faults. To avoid an excessive number of additional faults the mk_pte primitive checks for PageDirty if the pgprot value allows for writes and pre-dirties the pte. That avoids all additional faults for tmpfs and shmem pages until these pages are added to the swap cache. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

The band-aid works by using bounce buffers to snapshot page contents instead of waiting. For those wondering about the ext3 bandage -- fixing the jbd locking (which was done as part of ext4dev years ago) is a lot of surgery, and setting PG_writeback on data pages when we actually hold the page lock dropped ext3 performance by nearly an order of magnitude. If we're going to migrate iscsi and raid to use stable page writes, the complaints about high latency will likely return. We might as well centralize their page snapshotting thing to one place.

Then, make it so that all points in the memory manager that handle making pages writable use the helper function. This should provide stable page write support to most filesystems, while eliminating unnecessary waiting for devices that don't require the feature. Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional checksum errors. The network filesystems were left to do their own thing, so they'd wait too. After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they provide their own stable page guarantees or they don't block at all. The blocking behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't have a disk requiring stable page writes. Here's the result of using dbench to test latency on ext2: 3.8.0-rc3: Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat ---------------------------------------- WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817 ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391 Flush 15514 29.828 287.283 Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273 ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112 Flush 14982 30.540 298.634 Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms As you can see, the maximum write latency drops considerably with this patch enabled.

First, it provides creators (devices and filesystems) of a backing_dev_info a flag that declares whether or not it is necessary to ensure that page contents cannot change during writeout. It is no longer assumed that this is true of all devices (which was never true anyway). Second, the flag is used to relaxed the wait_on_page_writeback calls so that wait only occurs if the device needs it. Third, it fixes up the remaining disk-backed filesystems to use this improved conditional-wait logic to provide stable page writes on those filesystems. It is hoped that (for people not using checksumming devices, anyway) this patchset will give back unnecessary performance decreases since the original stable page write patchset went into 3.0. Sorry about not fixing it sooner. Complaints were registered by several people about the long write latencies introduced by the original stable page write patchset. Generally speaking, the kernel ought to allocate as little extra memory as possible to facilitate writeout, but for people who simply cannot wait, a second page stability strategy is (re)introduced: snapshotting page contents. The waiting behavior is still the default strategy; to enable page snapshotting, a superblock flag (MS_SNAP_STABLE) must be set. This flag is used to bandaid^Henable stable page writeback on ext3[1], and is not used anywhere else. Given that there are already a few storage devices and network FSes that have rolled their own page stability wait/page snapshot code, it would be nice to move towards consolidating all of these. It seems possible that iscsi and raid5 may wish to use the new stable page write support to enable zero-copy writeout. Thank you to Jan Kara for helping fix a couple more filesystems. Per Andrew Morton's request, here are the result of using dbench to measure latencies on ext2: 3.8.0-rc3: Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat ---------------------------------------- WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817 ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391 Flush 15514 29.828 287.283 Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273 ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112 Flush 14982 30.540 298.634 Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms As you can see, for ext2 the maximum write latency decreases from ~60ms on a laptop hard disk to ~4ms.

The blocking behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't have a disk requiring stable page writes. This patchset has been tested on 3.8.0-rc3 on x64 with ext3, ext4, and xfs. I've spot-checked 3.8.0-rc4 and seem to be getting the same results as -rc3. [1] The alternative fixes to ext3 include fixing the locking order and page bit handling like we did for ext4 (but then why not just use ext4?), or setting PG_writeback so early that ext3 becomes extremely slow. I tried that, but the number of write()s I could initiate dropped by nearly an order of magnitude. That was a bit much even for the author of the stable page series! :) This patch: Creates a per-backing-device flag that tracks whether or not pages must be held immutable during writeout. Eventually it will be used to waive wait_for_page_writeback() if nothing requires stable pages. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

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.

The caches created at boot time will be handled by the later, and the memcg-caches as well as any system caches that are registered later on by the former. There is a bug, however, in memcg_register_cache: we correctly set up the array size, but do not mark the cache as a root cache. This means that allocations for any cache appearing late in the game will see memcg->memcg_params->is_root_cache == false, and in particular, trigger VM_BUG_ON(!cachep->memcg_params->is_root_cache) in __memcg_kmem_cache_get. The obvious fix is to include the missing assignment.

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. This patch partially reverts commit 1fb3f8ca0e92 ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page immediately when it is made available").

Reverting these commits was reported to solve the problem for Alexander. Despite the reason for these commits, NUMA balancing is not the direct source of the problem. split_huge_page() expects the anon_vma lock to be exclusive to serialise the whole split operation. Ordinarily it is expected that the anon_vma lock would only be required when updating the avcs but THP also uses the anon_vma rwsem for collapse and split operations where the page lock or compound lock cannot be used (as the page is changing from base to THP or vice versa) and the page table locks are insufficient. This patch takes the anon_vma lock for write to serialise against parallel split_huge_page as THP expected before the conversion to rwsem.

Eg commit 6dccdcbe2c3e ("mm: bootmem: fix checking the bitmap when finally freeing bootmem") shifts vec by lower bits of start instead of lower bits of idx. Also if (IS_ALIGNED(start, BITS_PER_LONG) && vec == ~0UL) assumes that vec bit 0 corresponds to start pfn, which is only true when node_min_pfn is a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG. Also loop in the else clause can double-free pages (e.g. with node_min_pfn == start == 1, map[0] == ~0 on 32-bit machine page 32 will be double-freed).

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.

The fix is to make the system just return 0 instead 3(COMPACT_COMPLETE) from sysctl_compaction_handler after compaction_nodes finished.

So the size of remaining array elements is (type->cnt - (i + 2)). Since the remaining elements of the memblock array are move forward by one element and there is only one additional element caused by this bug. So there won't be any write overflow here but read overflow. It may read one more element out of the array address if the array happens to be full. Commonly it doesn't matter at all but if the array happens to be located at the end a memblock, it may cause a invalid read operation for the physical address doesn't exist. There are 2 *happens to be* here, so I think the probability is quite low, I don't know if any guy is haunted by this bug before. Mostly I think it's user-invisible.

* | | mm: migrate: check page_count of THP before migratingMel Gorman2013-01-11
|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hugh Dickins pointed out that migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() does not check page_count before migrating like base page migration and khugepage. He could not see why this was safe and he is right. The potential impact of the bug is avoided due to the limitations of NUMA balancing. The page_mapcount() check ensures that only a single address space is using this page and as THPs are typically private it should not be possible for another address space to fault it in parallel. If the address space has one associated task then it's difficult to have both a GUP pin and be referencing the page at the same time. If there are multiple tasks then a buggy scenario requires that another thread be accessing the page while the direct IO is in flight. This is dodgy behaviour as there is a possibility of corruption with or without THP migration. It would be While we happen to be safe for the most part it is shoddy to depend on such "safety" so this patch checks the page count similar to anonymous pages. Note that this does not mean that the page_mapcount() check can go away. If we were to remove the page_mapcount() check the the THP would have to be unmapped from all referencing PTEs, replaced with migration PTEs and restored properly afterwards.

* | mm: limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPTMichal Hocko2013-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit e303297e6c3a ("mm: extended batches for generic mmu_gather") we are batching pages to be freed until either tlb_next_batch cannot allocate a new batch or we are done. This works just fine most of the time but we can get in troubles with non-preemptible kernel (CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE or CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY) on large machines where too aggressive batching might lead to soft lockups during process exit path (exit_mmap) because there are no scheduling points down the free_pages_and_swap_cache path and so the freeing can take long enough to trigger the soft lockup. The lockup is harmless except when the system is setup to panic on softlockup which is not that unusual. The simplest way to work around this issue is to limit the maximum number of batches in a single mmu_gather. 10k of collected pages should be safe to prevent from soft lockups (we would have 2ms for one) even if they are all freed without an explicit scheduling point. This patch doesn't add any new explicit scheduling points because it relies on zap_pmd_range during page tables zapping which calls cond_resched per PMD. The following lockup has been reported for 3.0 kernel with a huge process (in order of hundreds gigs but I do know any more details). BUG: soft lockup - CPU#56 stuck for 22s!

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). This patch removes the special isolated pageblocks counter altogether which fixes zone_watermark_ok_safe() free pages check.
