      mm: nobootmem: panic on node-specific allocation failure · 2c478eae
      Johannes Weiner authored
      __alloc_bootmem_node and __alloc_bootmem_low_node documentation claims
      the functions panic on allocation failure.  Do it.

      mm: bootmem: unify allocation policy of (non-)panicking node allocations · 421456ed
      Johannes Weiner authored
      While the panicking node-specific allocation function tries to satisfy
      node+goal, goal, node, anywhere, the non-panicking function still does
      node+goal, goal, anywhere.
      
      Make it simpler: define the panicking version in terms of the
      non-panicking one, like the node-agnostic interface, so they always behave
      the same way apart from how to deal with allocation failure.

      Match the nobootmem version of __alloc_bootmem_node.  Try to satisfy both
      the node and the goal, then just the goal, then just the node, then
      allocate anywhere before panicking.

      mm: bootmem: split out goal-to-node mapping from goal dropping · c12ab504
      Johannes Weiner authored
      Matching the desired goal to the right node is one thing, dropping the
      goal when it can not be satisfied is another.  Split this into separate
      functions so that subsequent patches can use the node-finding but drop and
      handle the goal fallback on their own terms.

      mm: bootmem: remove redundant offset check when finally freeing bootmem · 549381e1
      Johannes Weiner authored
      When bootmem releases an unaligned BITS_PER_LONG pages chunk of memory
      to the page allocator, it checks the bitmap if there are still
      unreserved pages in the chunk (set bits), but also if the offset in the
      chunk indicates BITS_PER_LONG loop iterations already.
      
      But since the consulted bitmap is only a one-word-excerpt of the full
      per-node bitmap, there can not be more than BITS_PER_LONG bits set in
      it.  The additional offset check is unnecessary.

      mm: bootmem: fix checking the bitmap when finally freeing bootmem · 6dccdcbe
      Gavin Shan authored
      When bootmem releases an unaligned chunk of memory at the beginning of a
      node to the page allocator, it iterates from that unaligned PFN but
      checks an aligned word of the page bitmap.  The checked bits do not
      correspond to the PFNs and, as a result, reserved pages can be freed.
      
      Properly shift the bitmap word so that the lowest bit corresponds to the
      starting PFN before entering the freeing loop.
      
      This bug has been around since commit 41546c17 ("bootmem: clean up
      free_all_bootmem_core") (2.6.27) without known reports.

      mm/page_alloc.c: remove pageblock_default_order() · 955c1cd7
      Andrew Morton authored
      This has always been broken: one version takes an unsigned int and the
      other version takes no arguments.  This bug was hidden because one
      version of set_pageblock_order() was a macro which doesn't evaluate its
      argument.
      
      Simplify it all and remove pageblock_default_order() altogether.

      mm: move is_vma_temporary_stack() declaration to huge_mm.h · 20995974
      Alex Shi authored
      When transparent_hugepage_enabled() is used outside mm/, such as in
      arch/x86/xx/tlb.c:
      
      +       if (!cpu_has_invlpg || vma->vm_flags & VM_HUGETLB
      +                       || transparent_hugepage_enabled(vma)) {
      +               flush_tlb_mm(vma->vm_mm);
      
      is_vma_temporary_stack() isn't referenced in huge_mm.h, so it has compile
      errors:
      
        arch/x86/mm/tlb.c: In function `flush_tlb_range':
        arch/x86/mm/tlb.c:324:4: error: implicit declaration of function `is_vma_temporary_stack' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
      
      Since is_vma_temporay_stack() is just used in rmap.c and huge_memory.c, it
      is better to move it to huge_mm.h from rmap.h to avoid such errors.

      mostly related to signed/unsigned comparisons.  This patch cleans up most
      of them.
      
      One remaining warning is about an unused parameter.  The <compiler.h> file
      doesn't define a __unused macro (or the like) yet.  This can be addressed
      later.

      is not installed.
      
      Install the headers and mark the unstable flags as out-of-bounds.  The

      bug: introduce BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID() macro · baf05aa9
      Konstantin Khlebnikov authored
      Sometimes we want to check some expressions correctness at compile time.
      "(void)(e);" or "if (e);" can be dangerous if the expression has
      side-effects, and gcc sometimes generates a lot of code, even if the
      expression has no effect.
      
      This patch introduces macro BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID() for such checks, it
      forces a compilation error if expression is invalid without any extra
      code.

      mm: rename is_mlocked_vma() to mlocked_vma_newpage() · 096a7cf4
      Ying Han authored
      Andrew pointed out that the is_mlocked_vma() is misnamed.  A function
      with name like that would expect bool return and no side-effects.
      
      Since it is called on the fault path for new page, rename it in this
      patch.

      mm: memcg: count pte references from every member of the reclaimed hierarchy · c3ac9a8a
      Johannes Weiner authored
      The rmap walker checking page table references has historically ignored
      references from VMAs that were not part of the memcg that was being
      reclaimed during memcg hard limit reclaim.
      
      When transitioning global reclaim to memcg hierarchy reclaim, I missed
      that bit and now references from outside a memcg are ignored even during
      global reclaim.
      
      Reverting back to traditional behaviour - count all references during
      global reclaim and only mind references of the memcg being reclaimed
      during limit reclaim would be one option.
      
      However, the more generic idea is to ignore references exactly then when
      they are outside the hierarchy that is currently under reclaim; because
      only then will their reclamation be of any use to help the pressure
      situation.  It makes no sense to ignore references from a sibling memcg
      and then evict a page that will be immediately refaulted by that sibling
      which contributes to the same usage of the common ancestor under
      reclaim.
      
      The solution: make the rmap walker ignore references from VMAs that are
      not part of the hierarchy that is being reclaimed.
      
      Flat limit reclaim will stay the same, hierarchical limit reclaim will
      mind the references only to pages that the hierarchy owns.  Global
      reclaim, since it reclaims from all memcgs, will be fixed to regard all
      references.

      mm: do_migrate_pages() calls migrate_to_node() even if task is already on a correct node · 4a5b18cc
      Larry Woodman authored
      While running an application that moves tasks from one cpuset to another
      I noticed that it takes much longer and moves many more pages than
      expected.
      
      The reason for this is do_migrate_pages() does its best to preserve the
      relative node differential from the first node of the cpuset because the
      application may have been written with that in mind.  If memory was
      interleaved on the nodes of the source cpuset by an application
      do_migrate_pages() will try its best to maintain that interleaving on
      the nodes of the destination cpuset.  This means copying the memory from
      all source nodes to the destination nodes even if the source and
      destination nodes overlap.
      
      This is a problem for userspace NUMA placement tools.  The amount of
      time spent doing extra memory moves cancels out some of the NUMA
      performance improvements.  Furthermore, if the number of source and
      destination nodes are to maintain the previous interleaving layout
      anyway.
      
      This patch changes do_migrate_pages() to only preserve the relative
      layout inside the program if the number of NUMA nodes in the source and
      destination mask are the same.  If the number is different, we do a much
      more efficient migration by not touching memory that is in an allowed
      node.
      
      This preserves the old behaviour for programs that want it, while
      allowing a userspace NUMA placement tool to use the new, faster
      migration.  This improves performance in our tests by up to a factor of
      7.
      
      Without this change migrating tasks from a cpuset containing nodes 0-7
      to a cpuset containing nodes 3-4, we migrate from ALL the nodes even if
      they are in the both the source and destination nodesets:
      
         Migrating 7 to 4
         Migrating 6 to 3
         Migrating 5 to 4
         Migrating 4 to 3
         Migrating 1 to 4
         Migrating 3 to 4
         Migrating 0 to 3
         Migrating 2 to 3
      
      With this change we only migrate from nodes that are not in the
      destination nodesets:
      
         Migrating 7 to 4
         Migrating 6 to 3
         Migrating 5 to 4
         Migrating 2 to 3
         Migrating 1 to 4
         Migrating 0 to 3
      
      Yet if we move from a cpuset containing nodes 2,3,4 to a cpuset
      containing 3,4,5 we still do move everything so that we preserve the
      desired NUMA offsets:
      
         Migrating 4 to 5
         Migrating 3 to 4
         Migrating 2 to 3
      
      As far as performance is concerned this simple patch improves the time
      it takes to move 14, 20 and 26 large tasks from a cpuset containing
      nodes 0-7 to a cpuset containing nodes 1 & 3 by up to a factor of 7.
      Here are the timings with and without the patch:

      thp, memcg: split hugepage for memcg oom on cow · 1f1d06c3
      David Rientjes authored
      On COW, a new hugepage is allocated and charged to the memcg.  If the
      system is oom or the charge to the memcg fails, however, the fault
      handler will return VM_FAULT_OOM which results in an oom kill.
      
      Instead, it's possible to fallback to splitting the hugepage so that the
      COW results only in an order-0 page being allocated and charged to the
      memcg which has a higher liklihood to succeed.  This is expensive
      because the hugepage must be split in the page fault handler, but it is
      much better than unnecessarily oom killing a process.

      mm/fork: fix overflow in vma length when copying mmap on clone · 7edc8b0a

      The vma length in dup_mmap is calculated and stored in a unsigned int,

      mm/mmap.c: find_vma(): remove unnecessary if(mm) check · 841e31e5
      Rajman Mekaco authored
      The "if (mm)" check is not required in find_vma, as the kernel code
      calls find_vma only when it is absolutely sure that the mm_struct arg to
      it is non-NULL.
      
      Remove the if(mm) check and adding the a WARN_ONCE(!mm) for now.  This
      will serve the purpose of mandating that the execution
      context(user-mode/kernel-mode) be known before find_vma is called.  Also
      fixed 2 checkpatch.pl errors in the declaration of the rb_node and
      vma_tmp local variables.
      
      I was browsing through the internet and read a discussion at
      https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/27/342 which discusses removal of the
      validation check within find_vma.  Since no-one responded, I decided to
      send this patch with Andrew's suggestions.

      mm: use kcalloc() instead of kzalloc() to allocate array · 4d67d860
      Thomas Meyer authored
      The advantage of kcalloc is, that will prevent integer overflows which
      could result from the multiplication of number of elements and size and
      it is also a bit nicer to read.

      /sys/devices/system/node/{online,possible} outputs a garbage byte

      the patch changes the use of cpuset_sprintf_cpulist to follow the use at

      mm: vmscan: do not stall on writeback during memory compaction · 41ac1999
      Mel Gorman authored
      This patch stops reclaim/compaction entering sync reclaim as this was
      only intended for lumpy reclaim and an oversight.  Page migration has
      its own logic for stalling on writeback pages if necessary and memory
      compaction is already using it.
      
      Waiting on page writeback is bad for a number of reasons but the primary
      one is that waiting on writeback to a slow device like USB can take a
      considerable length of time.  Page reclaim instead uses
      wait_iff_congested() to throttle if too many dirty pages are being
      scanned.

      mm: vmscan: remove lumpy reclaim · c53919ad
      Mel Gorman authored
      This series removes lumpy reclaim and some stalling logic that was
      unintentionally being used by memory compaction.  The end result is that
      stalling on dirty pages during page reclaim now depends on
      wait_iff_congested().
      
      Four kernels were compared
      
        3.3.0     vanilla
        3.4.0-rc2 vanilla
        3.4.0-rc2 lumpyremove-v2 is patch one from this series
        3.4.0-rc2 nosync-v2r3 is the full series
      
      Removing lumpy reclaim saves almost 900 bytes of text whereas the full
      series removes 1200 bytes.

      There are behaviour changes in the series and so tests were run with
      monitoring of ftrace events.  This disrupts results so the performance
      results are distorted but the new behaviour should be clearer.
      
      fs-mark running in a threaded configuration showed little of interest as
      it did not push reclaim aggressively

      It looks like here that the full series regresses performance but as
      ftrace showed no usage of wait_iff_congested() or sync reclaim I am
      assuming it's a disruption due to monitoring.  Other data such as memory
      usage, page IO, swap IO all looked similar.
      
      Running a benchmark with a plain DD showed nothing very interesting.
      The full series stalled in wait_iff_congested() slightly less but stall
      times on vanilla kernels were marginal.
      
      Running a benchmark that hammered on file-backed mappings showed stalls
      due to congestion but not in sync writebacks

      Reclaim statistics are not radically changed.  The stall times in kswapd
      are massive but it is clear that it is due to calls to congestion_wait()
      and that is almost certainly the call in balance_pgdat().  Otherwise
      stalls due to dirty pages are non-existant.
      
      I ran a benchmark that stressed high-order allocation.  This is very
      artifical load but was used in the past to evaluate lumpy reclaim and
      compaction.  Generally I look at allocation success rates and latency
      figures.

      Success rates are completely hosed for 3.4-rc2 which is almost certainly
      due to commit fe2c2a10 ("vmscan: reclaim at order 0 when compaction
      is enabled").  I expected this would happen for kswapd and impair
      allocation success rates (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/25/166) but I did
      not anticipate this much a difference: 80% less scanning, 37% less
      reclaim by kswapd
      
      In comparison, reclaim/compaction is not aggressive and gives up easily
      which is the intended behaviour.  hugetlbfs uses __GFP_REPEAT and would
      be much more aggressive about reclaim/compaction than THP allocations
      are.  The stress test above is allocating like neither THP or hugetlbfs
      but is much closer to THP.
      
      Mainline is now impaired in terms of high order allocation under heavy
      load although I do not know to what degree as I did not test with
      __GFP_REPEAT.  Keep this in mind for bugs related to hugepage pool
      resizing, THP allocation and high order atomic allocation failures from
      network devices.
      
      In terms of congestion throttling, I see the following for this test
      
        FTrace Reclaim Statistics: congestion_wait

      The "conditional waited" times are the most interesting as this is
      directly impacted by the number of dirty pages encountered during scan.
      As lumpy reclaim is no longer scanning contiguous ranges, it is finding
      fewer dirty pages.  This brings wait times from about 5 seconds to 0.
      kswapd itself is still calling congestion_wait() so it'll still stall but
      it's a lot less.
      
      In terms of the type of IO we were doing, I see this

      In 3.2, kswapd was doing a bunch of async writes of pages but
      reclaim/compaction was never reaching a point where it was doing sync
      IO.  This does not guarantee that reclaim/compaction was not calling
      wait_on_page_writeback() but I would consider it unlikely.  It indicates
      that merging patches 2 and 3 to stop reclaim/compaction calling
      wait_on_page_writeback() should be safe.
      
      This patch:
      
      Lumpy reclaim had a purpose but in the mind of some, it was to kick the
      system so hard it trashed.  For others the purpose was to complicate
      vmscan.c.  Over time it was giving softer shoes and a nicer attitude but
      memory compaction needs to step up and replace it so this patch sends
      lumpy reclaim to the farm.
      
      The tracepoint format changes for isolating LRU pages with this patch
      applied.  Furthermore reclaim/compaction can no longer queue dirty pages
      in pageout() if the underlying BDI is congested.  Lumpy reclaim used
      this logic and reclaim/compaction was using it in error.

      mm: remove swap token code · e709ffd6
      Rik van Riel authored
      The swap token code no longer fits in with the current VM model.  It
      does not play well with cgroups or the better NUMA placement code in
      development, since we have only one swap token globally.
      
      It also has the potential to mess with scalability of the system, by
      increasing the number of non-reclaimable pages on the active and
      inactive anon LRU lists.
      
      Last but not least, the swap token code has been broken for a year
      without complaints, as reported by Konstantin Khlebnikov.  This suggests
      we no longer have much use for it.
      
      The days of sub-1G memory systems with heavy use of swap are over.  If
      we ever need thrashing reducing code in the future, we will have to
      implement something that does scale.

      mm, thp: allow fallback when pte_alloc_one() fails for huge pmd · edad9d2c
      David Rientjes authored
      The transparent hugepages feature is careful to not invoke the oom
      killer when a hugepage cannot be allocated.
      
      pte_alloc_one() failing in __do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page(), however,
      currently results in VM_FAULT_OOM which invokes the pagefault oom killer
      to kill a memory-hogging task.
      
      This is unnecessary since it's possible to drop the reference to the
      hugepage and fallback to allocating a small page.

      The "ret" variable is unnecessary in __do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page(), so
      remove it.

      The arguments f & t and fields from & to of struct file_region are
      defined as long.  So use long instead of int to type the temp vars.

      These things tend to get out of sync with time so let the compiler
      automatically enter the current function name using __func__.
      
      No functional change.
