This is required for CRIU (Checkpoint Restart In Userspace) to migrate a mount point when write end in user space is closed. Below is a brief description of the problem. To migrate a non-catatonic autofs mount point, one has to restore the control pipe between kernel and autofs master process. One of the autofs masters is systemd, which closes pipe write end after passing it to the kernel with mount call. To be able to restore the systemd control pipe one has to know which read pipe end in systemd corresponds to the write pipe end in the kernel. The pipe "fd" in mount options is not enough because it was closed and probably replaced by some other descriptor. Thus, some other attribute is required to be able to find the read pipe end. The best attribute to use to find the correct pipe end is inode number becuase it's unique for the whole system and can't be reused while the autofs mount exists. This attribute can also be used to recognize a situation where an autofs mount has no master (no process with specified "pgrp" or no file descriptor with "pipe_ino", specified in autofs mount options).

Similar to how relative extables are implemented, it is possible to emit the kallsyms table in such a way that it contains offsets relative to some anchor point in the kernel image rather than absolute addresses. On 64-bit architectures, it cuts the size of the kallsyms address table in half, since offsets between kernel symbols can typically be expressed in 32 bits. This saves several hundreds of kilobytes of permanent .rodata on average. In addition, the kallsyms address table is no longer subject to dynamic relocation when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is in effect, so the relocation work done after decompression now doesn't have to do relocation updates for all these values. This saves up to 24 bytes (i.e., the size of a ELF64 RELA relocation table entry) per value, which easily adds up to a couple of megabytes of uncompressed __init data on ppc64 or arm64. Even if these relocation entries typically compress well, the combined size reduction of 2.8 MB uncompressed for a ppc64_defconfig build (of which 2.4 MB is __init data) results in a ~500 KB space saving in the compressed image. Since it is useful for some architectures (like x86) to retain the ability to emit absolute values as well, this patch also adds support for capturing both absolute and relative values when KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU is in effect, by emitting absolute per-cpu addresses as positive 32-bit values, and addresses relative to the lowest encountered relative symbol as negative values, which are subtracted from the runtime address of this base symbol to produce the actual address. Support for the above is enabled by default for all architectures except IA-64 and Tile-GX, whose symbols are too far apart to capture in this manner. Signed-off-by:

Commit c6bda7c9 ("kallsyms: fix percpu vars on x86-64 with relocation") overloaded the 'A' (absolute) symbol type to signify that a symbol is not subject to dynamic relocation. However, the original A type does not imply that at all, and depending on the version of the toolchain, many A type symbols are emitted that are in fact relative to the kernel text, i.e., if the kernel is relocated at runtime, these symbols should be updated as well. For instance, on sparc32, the following symbols are emitted as absolute (kindly provided by Guenter Roeck): f035a420 A _etext f03d9000 A _sdata f03de8c4 A jiffies f03f8860 A _edata f03fc000 A __init_begin f041bdc8 A __init_text_end f0423000 A __bss_start f0423000 A __init_end f044457d A __bss_stop f044457d A _end On x86_64, similar behavior can be observed: ffffffff81a00000 A __end_rodata_hpage_align ffffffff81b19000 A __vvar_page ffffffff81d3d000 A _end Even if only a couple of them pass the symbol range check that results in them to be taken into account for the final kallsyms symbol table, it is obvious that 'A' does not mean the symbol does not need to be updated at relocation time, and overloading its meaning to signify that is perhaps not a good idea. So instead, add a new percpu_absolute member to struct sym_entry, and when --absolute-percpu is in effect, use it to record symbols whose addresses should be emitted as final values rather than values that still require relocation at runtime. That way, we can drop the check against the 'A' type. Signed-off-by:

scripts/kallsyms.c has a special --absolute-percpu command line option which deals with the zero based per cpu offsets that are used when building for SMP on x86_64. This means that the option should only be passed in that case, so add a Kconfig symbol with the correct predicate, and use that instead. Signed-off-by:

Migration accounting in the memory controller used to have to handle both oldpage and newpage being on the LRU already; fuse's page cache replacement used to pass a recycled newpage that had been uncharged but not freed and removed from the LRU, and the memcg migration code used to uncharge oldpage to "pass on" the existing charge to newpage. Nowadays, pages are no longer uncharged when truncated from the page cache, but rather only at free time, so if a LRU page is recycled in page cache replacement it'll also still be charged. And we bail out of the charge transfer altogether in that case. Tell commit_charge() that we know newpage is not on the LRU, to avoid taking the zone->lru_lock unnecessarily from the migration path. But also, oldpage is no longer uncharged inside migration. We only use oldpage for its page->mem_cgroup and page size, so we don't care about its LRU state anymore either. Remove any mention from the kernel doc. Signed-off-by:

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].

pageblock_pfn_to_page() is used to check there is valid pfn and all pages in the pageblock is in a single zone. If there is a hole in the pageblock, passing arbitrary position to pageblock_pfn_to_page() could cause to skip whole pageblock scanning, instead of just skipping the hole page. For deterministic behaviour, it's better to always pass pageblock aligned range to pageblock_pfn_to_page(). It will also help further optimization on pageblock_pfn_to_page() in the following patch.

free_pfn and compact_cached_free_pfn are the pointer that remember restart position of freepage scanner. When they are reset or invalid, we set them to zone_end_pfn because freepage scanner works in reverse direction. But, because zone range is defined as [zone_start_pfn, zone_end_pfn), zone_end_pfn is invalid to access. Therefore, we should not store it to free_pfn and compact_cached_free_pfn. Instead, we need to store zone_end_pfn - 1 to them. There is one more thing we should consider. Freepage scanner scan reversely by pageblock unit. If free_pfn and compact_cached_free_pfn are set to middle of pageblock, it regards that sitiation as that it already scans front part of pageblock so we lose opportunity to scan there. To fix-up, this patch do round_down() to guarantee that reset position will be pageblock aligned. Note that thanks to the current pageblock_pfn_to_page() implementation, actual access to zone_end_pfn doesn't happen until now. But, following patch will change pageblock_pfn_to_page() so this patch is needed from now on. Signed-off-by:

There are several users that nest lock_page_memcg() inside lock_page() to prevent page->mem_cgroup from changing. But the page lock prevents pages from moving between cgroups, so that is unnecessary overhead.

Now that migration doesn't clear page->mem_cgroup of live pages anymore, it's safe to make lock_page_memcg() and the memcg stat functions take pages, and spare the callers from memcg objects. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] Signed-off-by:

Johannes Weiner authored
Changing a page's memcg association complicates dealing with the page, so we want to limit this as much as possible. Page migration e.g. does not have to do that. Just like page cache replacement, it can forcibly charge a replacement page, and then uncharge the old page when it gets freed. Temporarily overcharging the cgroup by a single page is not an issue in practice, and charging is so cheap nowadays that this is much preferrable to the headache of messing with live pages. The only place that still changes the page->mem_cgroup binding of live pages is when pages move along with a task to another cgroup. But that path isolates the page from the LRU, takes the page lock, and the move lock (lock_page_memcg()). That means page->mem_cgroup is always stable in callers that have the page isolated from the LRU or locked. Lighter unlocked paths, like writeback accounting, can use lock_page_memcg().

Cache thrash detection (see a528910e "mm: thrash detection-based file cache sizing" for details) currently only works on the system level, not inside cgroups. Worse, as the refaults are compared to the global number of active cache, cgroups might wrongfully get all their refaults activated when their pages are hotter than those of others. Move the refault machinery from the zone to the lruvec, and then tag eviction entries with the memcg ID. This makes the thrash detection work correctly inside cgroups.

For per-cgroup thrash detection, we need to store the memcg ID inside the radix tree cookie as well. However, on 32 bit that doesn't leave enough bits for the eviction timestamp to cover the necessary range of recently evicted pages. The radix tree entry would look like this: [ RADIX_TREE_EXCEPTIONAL(2) | ZONEID(2) | MEMCGID(16) | EVICTION(12) ] 12 bits means 4096 pages, means 16M worth of recently evicted pages. But refaults are actionable up to distances covering half of memory. To not miss refaults, we have to stretch out the range at the cost of how precisely we can tell when a page was evicted. This way we can shave off lower bits from the eviction timestamp until the necessary range is covered. E.g. grouping evictions into 1M buckets (256 pages) will stretch the longest representable refault distance to 4G. This patch implements eviction buckets that are automatically sized according to the available bits and the necessary refault range, in preparation for per-cgroup thrash detection. The maximum actionable distance is currently half of memory, but to support memory hotplug of up to 200% of boot-time memory, we size the buckets to cover double the distance. Beyond that, thrashing won't be detectable anymore. During boot, the kernel will print out the exact parameters, like so: [ 0.113929] workingset: timestamp_bits=12 max_order=18 bucket_order=6 In this example, there are 12 radix entry bits available for the eviction timestamp, to cover a maximum distance of 2^18 pages (this is a 1G machine). Consequently, evictions must be grouped into buckets of 2^6 pages, or 256K. Signed-off-by:

Per-cgroup thrash detection will need to derive a live memcg from the eviction cookie, and doing that inside unpack_shadow() will get nasty with the reference handling spread over two functions.

These patches tag the page cache radix tree eviction entries with the memcg an evicted page belonged to, thus making per-cgroup LRU reclaim work properly and be as adaptive to new cache workingsets as global reclaim already is. This should have been part of the original thrash detection patch series, but was deferred due to the complexity of those patches. This patch (of 5): So far the only sites that needed to exclude charge migration to stabilize page->mem_cgroup have been per-cgroup page statistics, hence the name mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat(). But per-cgroup thrash detection will add another site that needs to ensure page->mem_cgroup lifetime. Rename these locking functions to the more generic lock_page_memcg() and unlock_page_memcg(). Since charge migration is a cgroup1 feature only, we might be able to delete it at some point, and these now easy to identify locking sites along with it. Signed-off-by:

zone_reclaimable_pages() is used in should_reclaim_retry() which uses it to calculate the target for the watermark check. This means that precise numbers are important for the correct decision. zone_reclaimable_pages uses zone_page_state which can contain stale data with per-cpu diffs not synced yet (the last vmstat_update might have run 1s in the past). Use zone_page_state_snapshot() in zone_reclaimable_pages() instead. None of the current callers is in a hot path where getting the precise value (which involves per-cpu iteration) would cause an unreasonable overhead. Signed-off-by:

Currently, all newly added memory blocks remain in 'offline' state unless someone onlines them, some linux distributions carry special udev rules like: SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", ATTR{state}=="offline", ATTR{state}="online" to make this happen automatically. This is not a great solution for virtual machines where memory hotplug is being used to address high memory pressure situations as such onlining is slow and a userspace process doing this (udev) has a chance of being killed by the OOM killer as it will probably require to allocate some memory. Introduce default policy for the newly added memory blocks in /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks file with two possible values: "offline" which preserves the current behavior and "online" which causes all newly added memory blocks to go online as soon as they're added. The default is "offline". Signed-off-by: -
