Running sparse on page_alloc.c today, it errors out: include/linux/gfp.h:254:17: error: bad constant expression include/linux/gfp.h:254:17: error: cannot size expression which is a line in gfp_zone(): BUILD_BUG_ON((GFP_ZONE_BAD >> bit) & 1); That's really unfortunate, because it ends up hiding all of the other legitimate sparse messages like this: mm/page_alloc.c:5315:59: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different base types) mm/page_alloc.c:5315:59: expected unsigned long [unsigned] [usertype] size mm/page_alloc.c:5315:59: got restricted gfp_t [usertype] <noident> ... Having sparse be able to catch these very oopsable bugs is a lot more important than keeping a BUILD_BUG_ON(). Kill the BUILD_BUG_ON().

There's a kernel-wide shortage of per-process flags, so it's always helpful to trim one when possible without incurring a significant penalty. It's even more important when you're planning on adding a per- process flag yourself, which I plan to do shortly for transparent hugepages. PF_OOM_ORIGIN is used by ksm and swapoff to prefer current since it has a tendency to allocate large amounts of memory and should be preferred for killing over other tasks. We'd rather immediately kill the task making the errant syscall rather than penalizing an innocent task. This patch removes PF_OOM_ORIGIN since its behavior is equivalent to setting the process's oom_score_adj to OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX. The process's old oom_score_adj is stored and then set to OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX during the time it used to have PF_OOM_ORIGIN. The old value is then reinstated when the process should no longer be considered a high priority for oom killing. Signed-off-by:

It's uncertain this has been beneficial, so it's safer to undo it. All other compaction users would still go in synchronous mode if a first attempt at async compaction failed. Hopefully we don't need to force special behavior for THP (which is the only __GFP_NO_KSWAPD user so far and it's the easier to exercise and to be noticeable). This also make __GFP_NO_KSWAPD return to its original strict semantics specific to bypass kswapd, as THP allocations have khugepaged for the async THP allocations/compactions. Signed-off-by:

Currently, memory hotplug calls setup_per_zone_wmarks() and calculate_zone_inactive_ratio(), but doesn't call setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve(). It means the number of reserved pages aren't updated even if memory hot plug occur. This patch fixes it. Signed-off-by:

Now, setup_per_zone_inactive_ratio() is marked __init and then it can't be referenced from memory hotplug code. This patch marks it as __meminit and also marks caller as __ref. Signed-off-by:

When an oom killing occurs, almost all processes are getting stuck at the following two points. 1) __alloc_pages_nodemask 2) __lock_page_or_retry 1) is not very problematic because TIF_MEMDIE leads to an allocation failure and getting out from page allocator. 2) is more problematic. In an OOM situation, zones typically don't have page cache at all and memory starvation might lead to greatly reduced IO performance. When a fork bomb occurs, TIF_MEMDIE tasks don't die quickly, meaning that a fork bomb may create new process quickly rather than the oom-killer killing it. Then, the system may become livelocked. This patch makes the pagefault interruptible by SIGKILL. Signed-off-by:

Since commit 297c5eee ("mm: make the vma list be doubly linked") made it a doubly linked list, we don't need to scan the list when deleting @vma. And the original code didn't update the prev pointer. Fix it too. Signed-off-by:

Namhyung Kim authored
When I was reading nommu code, I found that it handles the vma list/tree in an unusual way. IIUC, because there can be more than one identical/overrapped vmas in the list/tree, it sorts the tree more strictly and does a linear search on the tree. But it doesn't applied to the list (i.e. the list could be constructed in a different order than the tree so that we can't use the list when finding the first vma in that order). Since inserting/sorting a vma in the tree and link is done at the same time, we can easily construct both of them in the same order. And linear searching on the tree could be more costly than doing it on the list, it can be converted to use the list. Also, after the commit 297c5eee ("mm: make the vma list be doubly linked") made the list be doubly linked, there were a couple of code need to be fixed to construct the list properly. Patch 1/6 is a preparation. It maintains the list sorted same as the tree and construct doubly-linked list properly. Patch 2/6 is a simple optimization for the vma deletion. Patch 3/6 and 4/6 convert tree traversal to list traversal and the rest are simple fixes and cleanups. This patch: @vma added into @mm should be sorted by start addr, end addr and VMA struct addr in that order because we may get identical VMAs in the @mm. However this was true only for the rbtree, not for the list. This patch fixes this by remembering 'rb_prev' during the tree traversal like find_vma_prepare() does and linking the @vma via __vma_link_list(). After this patch, we can iterate the whole VMAs in correct order simply by using @mm->mmap list. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: avoid duplicating __vma_link_list()] Signed-off-by:

Avoid merging a VMA with another VMA which is cloned from the parent process. The cloned VMA shares the anon_vma lock with the parent process's VMA. If we do the merge, more vmas (even the new range is only for current process) use the perent process's anon_vma lock. This introduces scalability issues. find_mergeable_anon_vma() already considers this case. Signed-off-by:

If we only change vma->vm_end, we can avoid taking anon_vma lock even if 'insert' isn't NULL, which is the case of split_vma. As I understand it, we need the lock before because rmap must get the 'insert' VMA when we adjust old VMA's vm_end (the 'insert' VMA is linked to anon_vma list in __insert_vm_struct before). But now this isn't true any more. The 'insert' VMA is already linked to anon_vma list in __split_vma(with anon_vma_clone()) instead of __insert_vm_struct. There is no race rmap can't get required VMAs. So the anon_vma lock is unnecessary, and this can reduce one locking in brk case and improve scalability.

Architectures that implement their own show_mem() function did not pass the filter argument to show_free_areas() to appropriately avoid emitting the state of nodes that are disallowed in the current context. This patch now passes the filter argument to show_free_areas() so those nodes are now avoided. This patch also removes the show_free_areas() wrapper around __show_free_areas() and converts existing callers to pass an empty filter. ia64 emits additional information for each node, so skip_free_areas_zone() must be made global to filter disallowed nodes and it is converted to use a nid argument rather than a zone for this use case.

It has been reported on some laptops that kswapd is consuming large amounts of CPU and not being scheduled when SLUB is enabled during large amounts of file copying. It is expected that this is due to kswapd missing every cond_resched() point because; shrink_page_list() calls cond_resched() if inactive pages were isolated which in turn may not happen if all_unreclaimable is set in shrink_zones(). If for whatver reason, all_unreclaimable is set on all zones, we can miss calling cond_resched(). balance_pgdat() only calls cond_resched if the zones are not balanced. For a high-order allocation that is balanced, it checks order-0 again. During that window, order-0 might have become unbalanced so it loops again for order-0 and returns that it was reclaiming for order-0 to kswapd(). It can then find that a caller has rewoken kswapd for a high-order and re-enters balance_pgdat() without ever calling cond_resched(). shrink_slab only calls cond_resched() if we are reclaiming slab pages. If there are a large number of direct reclaimers, the shrinker_rwsem can be contended and prevent kswapd calling cond_resched(). This patch modifies the shrink_slab() case. If the semaphore is contended, the caller will still check cond_resched(). After each successful call into a shrinker, the check for cond_resched() remains in case one shrinker is particularly slow.

There are a few reports of people experiencing hangs when copying large amounts of data with kswapd using a large amount of CPU which appear to be due to recent reclaim changes. SLUB using high orders is the trigger but not the root cause as SLUB has been using high orders for a while. The root cause was bugs introduced into reclaim which are addressed by the following two patches. Patch 1 corrects logic introduced by commit 1741c877 ("mm: kswapd: keep kswapd awake for high-order allocations until a percentage of the node is balanced") to allow kswapd to go to sleep when balanced for high orders. Patch 2 notes that it is possible for kswapd to miss every cond_resched() and updates shrink_slab() so it'll at least reach that scheduling point. Chris Wood reports that these two patches in isolation are sufficient to prevent the system hanging. AFAIK, they should also resolve similar hangs experienced by James Bottomley. This patch: Johannes Weiner poined out that the logic in commit 1741c877 ("mm: kswapd: keep kswapd awake for high-order allocations until a percentage of the node is balanced") is backwards. Instead of allowing kswapd to go to sleep when balancing for high order allocations, it keeps it kswapd running uselessly. Signed-off-by:

Commit 442b06bc ("slub: Remove node check in slab_free") added a call to deactivate_slab() in the debug case in __slab_alloc(), which unlocks the current slab used for allocation. Going to the label 'unlock_out' then does it again. Also, in the debug case we do not need all the other processing that the 'unlock_out' path does. We always fall back to the slow path in the debug case. So the tid update is useless. Similarly, ALLOC_SLOWPATH would just be incremented for all allocations. Also a pretty useless thing. So simply restore irq flags and return the object. Signed-off-by:
