I haven't reproduced it myself but the fail scenario is that on such machines (notably ARM and some embedded powerpc), if you manage to hit that futex path on a writable page whose dirty bit has gone from the PTE, you'll livelock inside the kernel from what I can tell. It will go in a loop of trying the atomic access, failing, trying gup to "fix it up", getting succcess from gup, go back to the atomic access, failing again because dirty wasn't fixed etc... So I think you essentially hang in the kernel. The scenario is probably rare'ish because affected architecture are embedded and tend to not swap much (if at all) so we probably rarely hit the case where dirty is missing or young is missing, but I think Shan has a piece of SW that can reliably reproduce it using a shared writable mapping & fork or something like that. On archs who use SW tracking of dirty & young, a page without dirty is effectively mapped read-only and a page without young unaccessible in the PTE. Additionally, some architectures might lazily flush the TLB when relaxing write protection (by doing only a local flush), and expect a fault to invalidate the stale entry if it's still present on another processor. The futex code assumes that if the "in_atomic()" access -EFAULT's, it can "fix it up" by causing get_user_pages() which would then be equivalent to taking the fault. However that isn't the case. get_user_pages() will not call handle_mm_fault() in the case where the PTE seems to have the right permissions, regardless of the dirty and young state. It will eventually update those bits ... in the struct page, but not in the PTE. Additionally, it will not handle the lazy TLB flushing that can be required by some architectures in the fault case. Basically, gup is the wrong interface for the job. The patch provides a more appropriate one which boils down to just calling handle_mm_fault() since what we are trying to do is simulate a real page fault. The futex code currently attempts to write to user memory within a pagefault disabled section, and if that fails, tries to fix it up using get_user_pages(). This doesn't work on archs where the dirty and young bits are maintained by software, since they will gate access permission in the TLB, and will not be updated by gup(). In addition, there's an expectation on some archs that a spurious write fault triggers a local TLB flush, and that is missing from the picture as well. I decided that adding those "features" to gup() would be too much for this already too complex function, and instead added a new simpler fixup_user_fault() which is essentially a wrapper around handle_mm_fault() which the futex code can call.

With zone_reclaim_mode enabled, it's possible for zones to be considered full in the zonelist_cache so they are skipped in the future. If the process enters direct reclaim, the ZLC may still consider zones to be full even after reclaiming pages. Reconsider all zones for allocation if direct reclaim returns successfully.

There have been a small number of complaints about significant stalls while copying large amounts of data on NUMA machines reported on a distribution bugzilla. In these cases, zone_reclaim was enabled by default due to large NUMA distances. In general, the complaints have not been about the workload itself unless it was a file server (in which case the recommendation was disable zone_reclaim). The stalls are mostly due to significant amounts of time spent scanning the preferred zone for pages to free. After a failure, it might fallback to another node (as zonelists are often node-ordered rather than zone-ordered) but stall quickly again when the next allocation attempt occurs. In bad cases, each page allocated results in a full scan of the preferred zone. Patch 1 checks the preferred zone for recent allocation failure which is particularly important if zone_reclaim has failed recently. This avoids rescanning the zone in the near future and instead falling back to another node. This may hurt node locality in some cases but a failure to zone_reclaim is more expensive than a remote access. Patch 2 clears the zlc information after direct reclaim. Otherwise, zone_reclaim can mark zones full, direct reclaim can reclaim enough pages but the zone is still not considered for allocation. This was tested on a 24-thread 2-node x86_64 machine. The tests were focused on large amounts of IO. All tests were bound to the CPUs on node-0 to avoid disturbances due to processes being scheduled on different nodes.

Time to completion is reduced. The number of pages scanned directly is still disturbingly high with a low efficiency but this is likely due to the number of dirty pages encountered. The figures could probably be improved with more work around how kswapd is used and how dirty pages are handled but that is separate work and this result is significant on its own.

Time to completion is again reduced. The gains are mostly down to two things. In many cases, there is less scanning as zone_reclaim simply gives up faster due to recent failures. The second reason is that memory is used more efficiently. Instead of scanning the preferred zone every time, the allocator falls back to another zone and uses it instead improving overall memory utilisation. This patch: initialise ZLC for first zone eligible for zone_reclaim. The zonelist cache (ZLC) is used among other things to record if zone_reclaim() failed for a particular zone recently. The intention is to avoid a high cost scanning extremely long zonelists or scanning within the zone uselessly. Currently the zonelist cache is setup only after the first zone has been considered and zone_reclaim() has been called. The objective was to avoid a costly setup but zone_reclaim is itself quite expensive. If it is failing regularly such as the first eligible zone having mostly mapped pages, the cost in scanning and allocation stalls is far higher than the ZLC initialisation step. This patch initialises ZLC before the first eligible zone calls zone_reclaim(). Once initialised, it is checked whether the zone failed zone_reclaim recently. If it has, the zone is skipped. As the first zone is now being checked, additional care has to be taken about zones marked full. A zone can be marked "full" because it should not have enough unmapped pages for zone_reclaim but this is excessive as direct reclaim or kswapd may succeed where zone_reclaim fails. Only mark zones "full" after zone_reclaim fails if it failed to reclaim enough pages after scanning. Signed-off-by: -

Currently we are keeping faulted page locked throughout whole __do_fault call (except for page_mkwrite code path) after calling file system's fault code. If we do early COW, we allocate a new page which has to be charged for a memcg (mem_cgroup_newpage_charge). This function, however, might block for unbounded amount of time if memcg oom killer is disabled or fork-bomb is running because the only way out of the OOM situation is either an external event or OOM-situation fix. In the end we are keeping the faulted page locked and blocking other processes from faulting it in which is not good at all because we are basically punishing potentially an unrelated process for OOM condition in a different group (I have seen stuck system because of ld-2.11.1.so being locked). We can do test easily. % cgcreate -g memory:A % cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes=64M A % cgset -r memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes=64M A % cd kernel_dir; cgexec -g memory:A make -j Then, the whole system will live-locked until you kill 'make -j' by hands (or push reboot...) This is because some important page in a a shared library are locked. Considering again, the new page is not necessary to be allocated with lock_page() held. And usual page allocation may dive into long memory reclaim loop with holding lock_page() and can cause very long latency. There are 3 ways. 1. do allocation/charge before lock_page() Pros. - simple and can handle page allocation in the same manner. This will reduce holding time of lock_page() in general. Cons. - we do page allocation even if ->fault() returns error. 2. do charge after unlock_page(). Even if charge fails, it's just OOM. Pros. - no impact to non-memcg path. Cons. - implemenation requires special cares of LRU and we need to modify page_add_new_anon_rmap()... 3. do unlock->charge->lock again method. Pros. - no impact to non-memcg path. Cons. - This may kill LOCK_PAGE_RETRY optimization. We need to release lock and get it again... This patch moves "charge" and memory allocation for COW page before lock_page(). Then, we can avoid scanning LRU with holding a lock on a page and latency under lock_page() will be reduced. Then, above livelock disappears.

2.6.36's 7e496299 ("tmpfs: make tmpfs scalable with percpu_counter for used blocks") to make tmpfs scalable with percpu_counter used inode->i_lock in place of sbinfo->stat_lock around i_blocks updates; but that was adverse to scalability, and unnecessary, since info->lock is already held there in the fast paths. Remove those uses of i_lock, and add info->lock in the three error paths where it's then needed across shmem_free_blocks(). It's not actually needed across shmem_unacct_blocks(), but they're so often paired that it looks wrong to split them apart. Signed-off-by:

truncate_inode_pages_range()'s final loop has a nice pincer property, bringing start and end together, squeezing out the last pages. But the range handling missed out on that, just sliding up the range, perhaps letting pages come in behind it. Add one more test to give it the same pincer effect. Signed-off-by:

Make the pagevec_lookup loops in truncate_inode_pages_range(), invalidate_mapping_pages() and invalidate_inode_pages2_range() more consistent with each other. They were relying upon page->index of an unlocked page, but apologizing for it: accept it, embrace it, add comments and WARN_ONs, and simplify the index handling. invalidate_inode_pages2_range() had special handling for a wrapped page->index + 1 = 0 case; but MAX_LFS_FILESIZE doesn't let us anywhere near there, and a corrupt page->index in the radix_tree could cause more trouble than that would catch. Remove that wrapped handling. invalidate_inode_pages2_range() uses min() to limit the pagevec_lookup when near the end of the range: copy that into the other two, although it's less useful than you might think (it limits the use of the buffer, rather than the indices looked up).

Use consistent variable names in truncate_pagecache(), truncate_setsize(), vmtruncate() and vmtruncate_range(). unmap_mapping_range() and vmtruncate_range() have mismatched interfaces: don't change either, but make the vmtruncates more precise about what they expect unmap_mapping_range() to do. vmtruncate_range() is currently called only with page-aligned start and end+1: can handle unaligned start, but unaligned end+1 would hit BUG_ON in truncate_inode_pages_range() (lacks partial clearing of the end page).

- shmem pages are not immediately available, but they are not potentially available either, even if we swap them out, they will just relocate from memory into swap, total amount of immediate and potentially available memory is not going to be affected, so we shouldn't count them as potentially free in the first place. - nr_free_pages() is not an expensive operation anymore, there is no need to split the decision making in two halves and repeat code.

/proc/pid/oom_adj is deprecated and scheduled for removal in August 2012 according to Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt. This patch makes the warning more verbose by making it appear as a more serious problem (the presence of a stack trace and being multiline should attract more attention) so that applications still using the old interface can get fixed. Very popular users of the old interface have been converted since the oom killer rewrite has been introduced. udevd switched to the /proc/pid/oom_score_adj interface for v162, kde switched in 4.6.1, and opensshd switched in 5.7p1. At the start of 2012, this should be changed into a WARN() to emit all such incidents and then finally remove the tunable in August 2012 as scheduled. Signed-off-by:

This patch contains online_page_callback and apropriate functions for registering/unregistering online page callbacks. It allows to do some machine specific tasks during online page stage which is required to implement memory hotplug in virtual machines. Currently this patch is required by latest memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver patch which will be posted soon. Additionally, originial online_page() function was splited into following functions doing "atomic" operations: - __online_page_set_limits() - set new limits for memory management code, - __online_page_increment_counters() - increment totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages, - __online_page_free() - free page to allocator. It was done to: - not duplicate existing code, - ease hotplug code devolpment by usage of well defined interface, - avoid stupid bugs which are unavoidable when the same code (by design) is developed in many places.

Vito said: : The system has many usb disks coming and going day to day, with their : respective bdi's having min_ratio set to 1 when inserted. It works for : some time until eventually min_ratio can no longer be set, even when the : active set of bdi's seen in /sys/class/bdi/*/min_ratio doesn't add up to : anywhere near 100. : : This then leads to an unrelated starvation problem caused by write-heavy : fuse mounts being used atop the usb disks, a problem the min_ratio setting : at the underlying devices bdi effectively prevents. Fix this leakage by resetting the bdi min_ratio when unregistering the BDI. Signed-off-by:

If dmi_get_system_info() returns NULL, pch_phub_probe() will dereferencea a zero pointer. This oops was observed on an Atom based board which has no BIOS, but a bootloder which doesn't privde DMI data. Signed-off-by:
