When huge page demotion is fully implemented, gigantic pages can be demoted to a smaller huge page size. For example, on x86 a 1G page can be demoted to 512 2M pages. However, gigantic pages can potentially be allocated from CMA. If a gigantic page which was allocated from CMA is demoted, the corresponding demoted pages needs to be returned to CMA. Use the new interface cma_pages_valid() to determine if a non-gigantic hugetlb page should be freed to CMA. Also, clear mapping field of these pages as expected by cma_release. This also requires a change to CMA region creation for gigantic pages. CMA uses a per-region bit map to track allocations. When setting up the region, you specify how many pages each bit represents. Currently, only gigantic pages are allocated/freed from CMA so the region is set up such that one bit represents a gigantic page size allocation. With demote, a gigantic page (allocation) could be split into smaller size pages. And, these smaller size pages will be freed to CMA. So, since the per-region bit map needs to be set up to represent the smallest allocation/free size, it now needs to be set to the smallest huge page size which can be freed to CMA. Unfortunately, we set up the CMA region for huge pages before we set up huge pages sizes (hstates). So, technically we do not know the smallest huge page size as this can change via command line options and architecture specific code. Therefore, at region setup time we use HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER as the smallest possible huge page size that can be given back to CMA. It is possible that this value is sub-optimal for some architectures/config options. If needed, this can be addressed in follow on work.

Add new interface cma_pages_valid() which indicates if the specified pages are part of a CMA region. This interface will be used in a subsequent patch by hugetlb code. In order to keep the same amount of DEBUG information, a pr_debug() call was added to cma_pages_valid(). In the case where the page passed to cma_release is not in cma region, the debug message will be printed from cma_pages_valid as opposed to cma_release.

Patch series "hugetlb: add demote/split page functionality", v4. The concurrent use of multiple hugetlb page sizes on a single system is becoming more common. One of the reasons is better TLB support for gigantic page sizes on x86 hardware. In addition, hugetlb pages are being used to back VMs in hosting environments. When using hugetlb pages to back VMs, it is often desirable to preallocate hugetlb pools. This avoids the delay and uncertainty of allocating hugetlb pages at VM startup. In addition, preallocating huge pages minimizes the issue of memory fragmentation that increases the longer the system is up and running. In such environments, a combination of larger and smaller hugetlb pages are preallocated in anticipation of backing VMs of various sizes. Over time, the preallocated pool of smaller hugetlb pages may become depleted while larger hugetlb pages still remain. In such situations, it is desirable to convert larger hugetlb pages to smaller hugetlb pages. Converting larger to smaller hugetlb pages can be accomplished today by first freeing the larger page to the buddy allocator and then allocating the smaller pages. For example, to convert 50 GB pages on x86: gb_pages=`cat .../hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages` m2_pages=`cat .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages` echo $(($gb_pages - 50)) > .../hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages echo $(($m2_pages + 25600)) > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages On an idle system this operation is fairly reliable and results are as expected. The number of 2MB pages is increased as expected and the time of the operation is a second or two. However, when there is activity on the system the following issues arise: 1) This process can take quite some time, especially if allocation of the smaller pages is not immediate and requires migration/compaction. 2) There is no guarantee that the total size of smaller pages allocated will match the size of the larger page which was freed. This is because the area freed by the larger page could quickly be fragmented. In a test environment with a load that continually fills the page cache with clean pages, results such as the following can be observed: Unexpected number of 2MB pages allocated: Expected 25600, have 19944 real 0m42.092s user 0m0.008s sys 0m41.467s To address these issues, introduce the concept of hugetlb page demotion. Demotion provides a means of 'in place' splitting of a hugetlb page to pages of a smaller size. This avoids freeing pages to buddy and then trying to allocate from buddy. Page demotion is controlled via sysfs files that reside in the per-hugetlb page size and per node directories. - demote_size Target page size for demotion, a smaller huge page size. File can be written to chose a smaller huge page size if multiple are available. - demote Writable number of hugetlb pages to be demoted To demote 50 GB huge pages, one would: cat .../hugepages-1048576kB/free_hugepages /* optional, verify free pages */ cat .../hugepages-1048576kB/demote_size /* optional, verify target size */ echo 50 > .../hugepages-1048576kB/demote Only hugetlb pages which are free at the time of the request can be demoted. Demotion does not add to the complexity of surplus pages and honors reserved huge pages. Therefore, when a value is written to the sysfs demote file, that value is only the maximum number of pages which will be demoted. It is possible fewer will actually be demoted. The recently introduced per-hstate mutex is used to synchronize demote operations with other operations that modify hugetlb pools. Real world use cases -------------------- The above scenario describes a real world use case where hugetlb pages are used to back VMs on x86. Both issues of long allocation times and not necessarily getting the expected number of smaller huge pages after a free and allocate cycle have been experienced. The occurrence of these issues is dependent on other activity within the host and can not be predicted. This patch (of 5): Two new sysfs files are added to demote hugtlb pages. These files are both per-hugetlb page size and per node. Files are: demote_size - The size in Kb that pages are demoted to. (read-write) demote - The number of huge pages to demote. (write-only) By default, demote_size is the next smallest huge page size. Valid huge page sizes less than huge page size may be written to this file. When huge pages are demoted, they are demoted to this size. Writing a value to demote will result in an attempt to demote that number of hugetlb pages to an appropriate number of demote_size pages. NOTE: Demote interfaces are only provided for huge page sizes if there is a smaller target demote huge page size. For example, on x86 1GB huge pages will have demote interfaces. 2MB huge pages will not have demote interfaces. This patch does not provide full demote functionality. It only provides the sysfs interfaces. It also provides documentation for the new interfaces.

The current behavior of memory failure is to truncate the page cache regardless of dirty or clean. If the page is dirty the later access will get the obsolete data from disk without any notification to the users. This may cause silent data loss. It is even worse for shmem since shmem is in-memory filesystem, truncating page cache means discarding data blocks. The later read would return all zero. The right approach is to keep the corrupted page in page cache, any later access would return error for syscalls or SIGBUS for page fault, until the file is truncated, hole punched or removed. The regular storage backed filesystems would be more complicated so this patch is focused on shmem. This also unblock the support for soft offlining shmem THP.

Memory failure will report failure if the page still has extra pinned refcount other than from hwpoison after the handler is done. Actually the check is not necessary for all handlers, so move the check into specific handlers. This would make the following keeping shmem page in page cache patch easier. There may be expected extra pin for some cases, for example, when the page is dirty and in swapcache. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211020210755.23964-5-shy828301@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "Solve silent data loss caused by poisoned page cache (shmem/tmpfs)", v5. When discussing the patch that splits page cache THP in order to offline the poisoned page, Noaya mentioned there is a bigger problem [1] that prevents this from working since the page cache page will be truncated if uncorrectable errors happen. By looking this deeper it turns out this approach (truncating poisoned page) may incur silent data loss for all non-readonly filesystems if the page is dirty. It may be worse for in-memory filesystem, e.g. shmem/tmpfs since the data blocks are actually gone. To solve this problem we could keep the poisoned dirty page in page cache then notify the users on any later access, e.g. page fault, read/write, etc. The clean page could be truncated as is since they can be reread from disk later on. The consequence is the filesystems may find poisoned page and manipulate it as healthy page since all the filesystems actually don't check if the page is poisoned or not in all the relevant paths except page fault. In general, we need make the filesystems be aware of poisoned page before we could keep the poisoned page in page cache in order to solve the data loss problem. To make filesystems be aware of poisoned page we should consider: - The page should be not written back: clearing dirty flag could prevent from writeback. - The page should not be dropped (it shows as a clean page) by drop caches or other callers: the refcount pin from hwpoison could prevent from invalidating (called by cache drop, inode cache shrinking, etc), but it doesn't avoid invalidation in DIO path. - The page should be able to get truncated/hole punched/unlinked: it works as it is. - Notify users when the page is accessed, e.g. read/write, page fault and other paths (compression, encryption, etc). The scope of the last one is huge since almost all filesystems need do it once a page is returned from page cache lookup. There are a couple of options to do it: 1. Check hwpoison flag for every path, the most straightforward way. 2. Return NULL for poisoned page from page cache lookup, the most callsites check if NULL is returned, this should have least work I think. But the error handling in filesystems just return -ENOMEM, the error code will incur confusion to the users obviously. 3. To improve #2, we could return error pointer, e.g. ERR_PTR(-EIO), but this will involve significant amount of code change as well since all the paths need check if the pointer is ERR or not just like option #1. I did prototypes for both #1 and #3, but it seems #3 may require more changes than #1. For #3 ERR_PTR will be returned so all the callers need to check the return value otherwise invalid pointer may be dereferenced, but not all callers really care about the content of the page, for example, partial truncate which just sets the truncated range in one page to 0. So for such paths it needs additional modification if ERR_PTR is returned. And if the callers have their own way to handle the problematic pages we need to add a new FGP flag to tell FGP functions to return the pointer to the page. It may happen very rarely, but once it happens the consequence (data corruption) could be very bad and it is very hard to debug. It seems this problem had been slightly discussed before, but seems no action was taken at that time. [2] As the aforementioned investigation, it needs huge amount of work to solve the potential data loss for all filesystems. But it is much easier for in-memory filesystems and such filesystems actually suffer more than others since even the data blocks are gone due to truncating. So this patchset starts from shmem/tmpfs by taking option #1. TODO: * The unpoison has been broken since commit 0ed950d1 ("mm,hwpoison: make get_hwpoison_page() call get_any_page()"), and this patch series make refcount check for unpoisoning shmem page fail. * Expand to other filesystems. But I haven't heard feedback from filesystem developers yet. Patch breakdown: Patch #1: cleanup, depended by patch #2 Patch #2: fix THP with hwpoisoned subpage(s) PMD map bug Patch #3: coding style cleanup Patch #4: refactor and preparation. Patch #5: keep the poisoned page in page cache and handle such case for all the paths. Patch #6: the previous patches unblock page cache THP split, so this patch add page cache THP split support. This patch (of 4): A minor cleanup to the indent.

The scheduler won't take the CPU offline until the task left the migrate-disable section.

Commit 7a5da02d ("locking/lockdep: check for freed initmem in static_obj()") added arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed() which is supposed to report whether an object is part of already freed init memory. For the time being, the generic version of arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed() always reports 'false', allthough free_initmem() is generically called on all architectures. Therefore, change the generic version of arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed() to check whether free_initmem() has been called. If so, then check if a given address falls into init memory. To ease the use of system_state, move it out of line into its only caller which is lockdep.c Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1d40783e676e07858be97d881f449ee7ea8adfb1.1633001016.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.euSigned-off-by:

core_kernel_text() considers that until system_state in at least SYSTEM_RUNNING, init memory is valid. But init memory is freed a few lines before setting SYSTEM_RUNNING, so we have a small period of time when core_kernel_text() is wrong. Create an intermediate system state called SYSTEM_FREEING_INIT that is set before starting freeing init memory, and use it in core_kernel_text() to report init memory invalid earlier.

The OOM killer cannot help to resolve the situation as there is no usable memory for the request in the cpuset scope. The only reasonable measure to take is to fail the allocation right away and have the caller to deal with it. So add a check for cases like this in the slowpath of allocation, and bail out early returning NULL for the allocation. As page allocation is one of the hottest path in kernel, this check will hurt all users with sane cpuset configuration, add a static branch check and detect the abnormal config in cpuset memory binding setup so that the extra check cost in page allocation is not paid by everyone. [thanks to Micho Hocko and David Rientjes for suggesting not handling it inside OOM code, adding cpuset check, refining comments] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1632481657-68112-1-git-send-email-feng.tang@intel.comSigned-off-by:Feng Tang <feng.tang@intel.com> Suggested-by:

Patch series "Fix NUMA without SMP". SuperH is the only architecture which still supports NUMA without SMP, for good reasons (various memories scattered around the address space, each with varying latencies).

In build_zonelists(), when the fallback list is built for the nodes, the node load gets reinitialized during each iteration. This results in nodes with same distances occupying the same slot in different node fallback lists rather than appearing in the intended round- robin manner. This results in one node getting picked for allocation more compared to other nodes with the same distance. As an example, consider a 4 node system with the following distance matrix. Node 0 1 2 3 ---------------- 0 10 12 32 32 1 12 10 32 32 2 32 32 10 12 3 32 32 12 10 For this case, the node fallback list gets built like this: Node Fallback list --------------------- 0 0 1 2 3 1 1 0 3 2 2 2 3 0 1 3 3 2 0 1 <-- Unexpected fallback order In the fallback list for nodes 2 and 3, the nodes 0 and 1 appear in the same order which results in more allocations getting satisfied from node 0 compared to node 1. The effect of this on remote memory bandwidth as seen by stream benchmark is shown below: Case 1: Bandwidth from cores on nodes 2 & 3 to memory on nodes 0 & 1 (numactl -m 0,1 ./stream_lowOverhead ... --cores <from 2, 3>) Case 2: Bandwidth from cores on nodes 0 & 1 to memory on nodes 2 & 3 (numactl -m 2,3 ./stream_lowOverhead ... --cores <from 0, 1>) ---------------------------------------- BANDWIDTH (MB/s) TEST Case 1 Case 2 ---------------------------------------- COPY 57479.6 110791.8 SCALE 55372.9 105685.9 ADD 50460.6 96734.2 TRIADD 50397.6 97119.1 ---------------------------------------- The bandwidth drop in Case 1 occurs because most of the allocations get satisfied by node 0 as it appears first in the fallback order for both nodes 2 and 3. This can be fixed by accumulating the node load in build_zonelists() rather than reinitializing it during each iteration. With this the nodes with the same distance rightly get assigned in the round robin manner. In fact this was how it was originally until commit f0c0b2b8 ("change zonelist order: zonelist order selection logic") dropped the load accumulation and resorted to initializing the load during each iteration. While zonelist ordering was removed by commit c9bff3ee ("mm, page_alloc: rip out ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE"), the change to the node load accumulation in build_zonelists() remained. So essentially this patch reverts back to the accumulated node load logic. After this fix, the fallback order gets built like this: Node Fallback list ------------------ 0 0 1 2 3 1 1 0 3 2 2 2 3 0 1 3 3 2 1 0 <-- Note the change here The bandwidth in Case 1 improves and matches Case 2 as shown below. ---------------------------------------- BANDWIDTH (MB/s) TEST Case 1 Case 2 ---------------------------------------- COPY 110438.9 110107.2 SCALE 105930.5 105817.5 ADD 97005.1 96159.8 TRIADD 97441.5 96757.1 ---------------------------------------- The correctness of the fallback list generation has been verified for the above node configuration where the node 3 starts as memory-less node and comes up online only during memory hotplug.

Patch series "Fix NUMA nodes fallback list ordering". For a NUMA system that has multiple nodes at same distance from other nodes, the fallback list generation prefers same node order for them instead of round-robin thereby penalizing one node over others. This series fixes it. More description of the problem and the fix is present in the patch description. This patch (of 2): Print information message about the allocation fallback order for each NUMA node during boot. No functional changes here. This makes it easier to illustrate the problem in the node fallback list generation, which the next patch fixes.

Commit ffb29b1c ("mm/vmalloc: fix numa spreading for large hash tables") can cause significant performance regressions in some situations as Andrew mentioned in [1]. The main situation is vmalloc, vmalloc will allocate pages with NUMA_NO_NODE by default, that will result in alloc page one by one; In order to solve this, __alloc_pages_bulk and mempolicy should be considered at the same time. 1) If node is specified in memory allocation request, it will alloc all pages by __alloc_pages_bulk. 2) If interleaving allocate memory, it will cauculate how many pages should be allocated in each node, and use __alloc_pages_bulk to alloc pages in each node.

Huge vmalloc allocation on heavy loaded node can lead to a global memory shortage. Task called vmalloc can have worst badness and be selected by OOM-killer, however taken fatal signal does not interrupt allocation cycle. Vmalloc repeat page allocaions again and again, exacerbating the crisis and consuming the memory freed up by another killed tasks. After a successful completion of the allocation procedure, a fatal signal will be processed and task will be destroyed finally. However it may not release the consumed memory, since the allocated object may have a lifetime unrelated to the completed task. In the worst case, this can lead to the host will panic due to "Out of memory and no killable processes..." This patch allows OOM-killer to break vmalloc cycle, makes OOM more effective and avoid host panic. It does not check oom condition directly, however, and breaks page allocation cycle when fatal signal was received. This may trigger some hidden problems, when caller does not handle vmalloc failures, or when rollaback after failed vmalloc calls own vmallocs inside. However all of these scenarios are incorrect: vmalloc does not guarantee successful allocation, it has never been called with __GFP_NOFAIL and threfore either should not be used for any rollbacks or should handle such errors correctly and not lead to critical failures.

Before we did not guarantee a free block with lowest start address for allocations with alignment >= PAGE_SIZE. Because an alignment overhead was included into a search length like below: length = size + align - 1; doing so we make sure that a bigger block would fit after applying an alignment adjustment. Now there is no such limitation, i.e. any alignment that user wants to apply will result to a lowest address of returned free area.

We used to include an alignment overhead into a search length, in that case we guarantee that a found area will definitely fit after applying a specific alignment that user specifies. From the other hand we do not guarantee that an area has the lowest address if an alignment is >= PAGE_SIZE. It means that, when a user specifies a special alignment together with a range that corresponds to an exact requested size then an allocation will fail. This is what happens to KASAN, it wants the free block that exactly matches a specified range during onlining memory banks: [root@vm-0 fedora]# echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory82/state [root@vm-0 fedora]# echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory83/state [root@vm-0 fedora]# echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory85/state [root@vm-0 fedora]# echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory84/state vmap allocation for size 16777216 failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase size bash: vmalloc: allocation failure: 16777216 bytes, mode:0x6000c0(GFP_KERNEL), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0 CPU: 4 PID: 1644 Comm: bash Kdump: loaded Not tainted 4.18.0-339.el8.x86_64+debug #1 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.14.0-0-g155821a1990b-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x8e/0xd0 warn_alloc.cold.90+0x8a/0x1b2 ? zone_watermark_ok_safe+0x300/0x300 ? slab_free_freelist_hook+0x85/0x1a0 ? __get_vm_area_node+0x240/0x2c0 ? kfree+0xdd/0x570 ? kmem_cache_alloc_node_trace+0x157/0x230 ? notifier_call_chain+0x90/0x160 __vmalloc_node_range+0x465/0x840 ? mark_held_locks+0xb7/0x120 Fix it by making sure that find_vmap_lowest_match() returns lowest start address with any given alignment value, i.e. for alignments bigger then PAGE_SIZE the algorithm rolls back toward parent nodes checking right sub-trees if the most left free block did not fit due to alignment overhead.
