For every pfn aligned to minimum_order, dissolve_free_huge_pages() will call dissolve_free_huge_page() which takes the hugetlb spinlock, even if the page is not huge at all or a hugepage that is in-use. Improve this by doing the PageHuge() and page_count() checks already in dissolve_free_huge_pages() before calling dissolve_free_huge_page(). In dissolve_free_huge_page(), when holding the spinlock, those checks need to be revalidated. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160926172811.94033-4-gerald.schaefer@de.ibm.comSigned-off-by:

In dissolve_free_huge_pages(), free hugepages will be dissolved without making sure that there are enough of them left to satisfy hugepage reservations. Fix this by adding a return value to dissolve_free_huge_pages() and checking h->free_huge_pages vs. h->resv_huge_pages. Note that this may lead to the situation where dissolve_free_huge_page() returns an error and all free hugepages that were dissolved before that error are lost, while the memory block still cannot be set offline.

Patch series "mm/hugetlb: memory offline issues with hugepages", v4. This addresses several issues with hugepages and memory offline. While the first patch fixes a panic, and is therefore rather important, the last patch is just a performance optimization. The second patch fixes a theoretical issue with reserved hugepages, while still leaving some ugly usability issue, see description. This patch (of 3): dissolve_free_huge_pages() will either run into the VM_BUG_ON() or a list corruption and addressing exception when trying to set a memory block offline that is part (but not the first part) of a "gigantic" hugetlb page with a size > memory block size. When no other smaller hugetlb page sizes are present, the VM_BUG_ON() will trigger directly. In the other case we will run into an addressing exception later, because dissolve_free_huge_page() will not work on the head page of the compound hugetlb page which will result in a NULL hstate from page_hstate(). To fix this, first remove the VM_BUG_ON() because it is wrong, and then use the compound head page in dissolve_free_huge_page(). This means that an unused pre-allocated gigantic page that has any part of itself inside the memory block that is going offline will be dissolved completely. Losing an unused gigantic hugepage is preferable to failing the memory offline, for example in the situation where a (possibly faulty) memory DIMM needs to go offline.

Commit c32b3cbe ("oom, PM: make OOM detection in the freezer path raceless") inserted a WARN_ON() into pagefault_out_of_memory() in order to warn when we raced with disabling the OOM killer. Now, patch "oom, suspend: fix oom_killer_disable vs. pm suspend properly" introduced a timeout for oom_killer_disable(). Even if we raced with disabling the OOM killer and the system is OOM livelocked, the OOM killer will be enabled eventually (in 20 seconds by default) and the OOM livelock will be solved. Therefore, we no longer need to warn when we raced with disabling the OOM killer. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1473442120-7246-1-git-send-email-penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jpSigned-off-by:

Fragmentation index and the vm.extfrag_threshold sysctl is meant as a heuristic to prevent excessive compaction for costly orders (i.e. THP). It's unlikely to make any difference for non-costly orders, especially with the default threshold. But we cannot afford any uncertainty for the non-costly orders where the only alternative to successful reclaim/compaction is OOM. After the recent patches we are guaranteed maximum effort without heuristics from compaction before deciding OOM, and fragindex is the last remaining heuristic. Therefore skip fragindex altogether for non-costly orders. Suggested-by:

The compaction_zonelist_suitable() function tries to determine if compaction will be able to proceed after sufficient reclaim, i.e. whether there are enough reclaimable pages to provide enough order-0 freepages for compaction. This addition of reclaimable pages to the free pages works well for the order-0 watermark check, but in the fragmentation index check we only consider truly free pages. Thus we can get fragindex value close to 0 which indicates failure do to lack of memory, and wrongly decide that compaction won't be suitable even after reclaim. Instead of trying to somehow adjust fragindex for reclaimable pages, let's just skip it from compaction_zonelist_suitable().

Several people have reported premature OOMs for order-2 allocations (stack) due to OOM rework in 4.7. In the scenario (parallel kernel build and dd writing to two drives) many pageblocks get marked as Unmovable and compaction free scanner struggles to isolate free pages. Joonsoo Kim pointed out that the free scanner skips pageblocks that are not movable to prevent filling them and forcing non-movable allocations to fallback to other pageblocks. Such heuristic makes sense to help prevent long-term fragmentation, but premature OOMs are relatively more urgent problem. As a compromise, this patch disables the heuristic only for the ultimate compaction priority. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160906135258.18335-5-vbabka@suse.czReported-by:

The new ultimate compaction priority disables some heuristics, which may result in excessive cost. This is fine for non-costly orders where we want to try hard before resulting for OOM, but might be disruptive for costly orders which do not trigger OOM and should generally have some fallback. Thus, we disable the full priority for costly orders. Suggested-by:

During reclaim/compaction loop, compaction priority can be increased by the should_compact_retry() function, but the current code is not optimal. Priority is only increased when compaction_failed() is true, which means that compaction has scanned the whole zone. This may not happen even after multiple attempts with a lower priority due to parallel activity, so we might needlessly struggle on the lower priorities and possibly run out of compaction retry attempts in the process. After this patch we are guaranteed at least one attempt at the highest compaction priority even if we exhaust all retries at the lower priorities.

Patch series "reintroduce compaction feedback for OOM decisions". After several people reported OOM's for order-2 allocations in 4.7 due to Michal Hocko's OOM rework, he reverted the part that considered compaction feedback [1] in the decisions to retry reclaim/compaction. This was to provide a fix quickly for 4.8 rc and 4.7 stable series, while mmotm had an almost complete solution that instead improved compaction reliability. This series completes the mmotm solution and reintroduces the compaction feedback into OOM decisions. The first two patches restore the state of mmotm before the temporary solution was merged, the last patch should be the missing piece for reliability. The third patch restricts the hardened compaction to non-costly orders, since costly orders don't result in OOMs in the first place. [1] http://marc.info/?i=20160822093249.GA14916%40dhcp22.suse.cz%3E This patch (of 4): Commit 6b4e3181 ("mm, oom: prevent premature OOM killer invocation for high order request") was intended as a quick fix of OOM regressions for 4.8 and stable 4.7.x kernels. For a better long-term solution, we still want to consider compaction feedback, which should be possible after some more improvements in the following patches. This reverts commit 6b4e3181.

This patch is to improve the performance of swap cache operations when the type of the swap device is not 0. Originally, the whole swap entry value is used as the key of the swap cache, even though there is one radix tree for each swap device. If the type of the swap device is not 0, the height of the radix tree of the swap cache will be increased unnecessary, especially on 64bit architecture. For example, for a 1GB swap device on the x86_64 architecture, the height of the radix tree of the swap cache is 11. But if the offset of the swap entry is used as the key of the swap cache, the height of the radix tree of the swap cache is 4. The increased height causes unnecessary radix tree descending and increased cache footprint. This patch reduces the height of the radix tree of the swap cache via using the offset of the swap entry instead of the whole swap entry value as the key of the swap cache. In 32 processes sequential swap out test case on a Xeon E5 v3 system with RAM disk as swap, the lock contention for the spinlock of the swap cache is reduced from 20.15% to 12.19%, when the type of the swap device is 1.

mem_cgroup_count_precharge() and mem_cgroup_move_charge() both call walk_page_range() on the range 0 to ~0UL, neither provide a pte_hole callback, which causes the current implementation to skip non-vma regions. This is all fine but follow up changes would like to make walk_page_range more generic so it is better to be explicit about which range to traverse so let's use highest_vm_end to explicitly traverse only user mmaped memory.

The global zero page is used to satisfy an anonymous read fault. If THP(Transparent HugePage) is enabled then the global huge zero page is used. The global huge zero page uses an atomic counter for reference counting and is allocated/freed dynamically according to its counter value. CPU time spent on that counter will greatly increase if there are a lot of processes doing anonymous read faults. This patch proposes a way to reduce the access to the global counter so that the CPU load can be reduced accordingly. To do this, a new flag of the mm_struct is introduced: MMF_USED_HUGE_ZERO_PAGE. With this flag, the process only need to touch the global counter in two cases: 1 The first time it uses the global huge zero page; 2 The time when mm_user of its mm_struct reaches zero. Note that right now, the huge zero page is eligible to be freed as soon as its last use goes away. With this patch, the page will not be eligible to be freed until the exit of the last process from which it was ever used. And with the use of mm_user, the kthread is not eligible to use huge zero page either. Since no kthread is using huge zero page today, there is no difference after applying this patch. But if that is not desired, I can change it to when mm_count reaches zero. Case used for test on Haswell EP: usemem -n 72 --readonly -j 0x200000 100G Which spawns 72 processes and each will mmap 100G anonymous space and then do read only access to that space sequentially with a step of 2MB.

Trying to walk all of virtual memory requires architecture specific knowledge. On x86_64, addresses must be sign extended from bit 48, whereas on arm64 the top VA_BITS of address space have their own set of page tables. clear_refs_write() calls walk_page_range() on the range 0 to ~0UL, it provides a test_walk() callback that only expects to be walking over VMAs. Currently walk_pmd_range() will skip memory regions that don't have a VMA, reporting them as a hole. As this call only expects to walk user address space, make it walk 0 to 'highest_vm_end'.

In current kernel code, we only call node_set_state(cpu_to_node(cpu), N_CPU) when a cpu is hot plugged. But we do not set the node state for N_CPU when the cpus are brought online during boot. So this could lead to failure when we check to see if a node contains cpu with node_state(node_id, N_CPU). One use case is in the node_reclaime function: /* * Only run node reclaim on the local node or on nodes that do * not * have associated processors. This will favor the local * processor * over remote processors and spread off node memory allocations * as wide as possible. */ if (node_state(pgdat->node_id, N_CPU) && pgdat->node_id != numa_node_id()) return NODE_RECLAIM_NOSCAN; I instrumented the kernel to call this function after boot and it always returns 0 on a x86 desktop machine until I apply the attached patch. int num_cpu_node(void) { int i, nr_cpu_nodes = 0; for_each_node(i) { if (node_state(i, N_CPU)) ++ nr_cpu_nodes; } return nr_cpu_nodes; } Fix this by checking each node for online CPU when we initialize vmstat that's responsible for maintaining node state.

When CONFIG_FS_DAX_PMD is set, DAX supports mmap() using pmd page size. This feature relies on both mmap virtual address and FS block (i.e. physical address) to be aligned by the pmd page size. Users can use mkfs options to specify FS to align block allocations. However, aligning mmap address requires code changes to existing applications for providing a pmd-aligned address to mmap(). For instance, fio with "ioengine=mmap" performs I/Os with mmap() [1]. It calls mmap() with a NULL address, which needs to be changed to provide a pmd-aligned address for testing with DAX pmd mappings. Changing all applications that call mmap() with NULL is undesirable. Add thp_get_unmapped_area(), which can be called by filesystem's get_unmapped_area to align an mmap address by the pmd size for a DAX file. It calls the default handler, mm->get_unmapped_area(), to find a range and then aligns it for a DAX file. The patch is based on Matthew Wilcox's change that allows adding support of the pud page size easily.

When one vma was with flag VM_LOCKED|VM_LOCKONFAULT (by invoking mlock2(,MLOCK_ONFAULT)), it can again be populated with mlock() with VM_LOCKED flag only. There is a hole in mlock_fixup() which increase mm->locked_vm twice even the two operations are on the same vma and both with VM_LOCKED flags. The issue can be reproduced by following code: mlock2(p, 1024 * 64, MLOCK_ONFAULT); //VM_LOCKED|VM_LOCKONFAULT mlock(p, 1024 * 64); //VM_LOCKED Then check the increase VmLck field in /proc/pid/status(to 128k). When vma is set with different vm_flags, and the new vm_flags is with VM_LOCKED, it is not necessarily be a "new locked" vma. This patch corrects this bug by prevent mm->locked_vm from increment when old vm_flags is already VM_LOCKED.

In do_mlock(), the check against locked memory limitation has a hole which will fail following cases at step 3): 1) User has a memory chunk from addressA with 50k, and user mem lock rlimit is 64k. 2) mlock(addressA, 30k) 3) mlock(addressA, 40k) The 3rd step should have been allowed since the 40k request is intersected with the previous 30k at step 2), and the 3rd step is actually for mlock on the extra 10k memory. This patch checks vma to caculate the actual "new" mlock size, if necessary, and ajust the logic to fix this issue.

Since the lumpy reclaim is gone there is no source of higher order pages if CONFIG_COMPACTION=n except for the order-0 pages reclaim which is unreliable for that purpose to say the least. Hitting an OOM for !costly higher order requests is therefore all not that hard to imagine. We are trying hard to not invoke OOM killer as much as possible but there is simply no reliable way to detect whether more reclaim retries make sense. Disabling COMPACTION is not widespread but it seems that some users might have disable the feature without realizing full consequences (mostly along with disabling THP because compaction used to be THP mainly thing). This patch just adds a note if the OOM killer was triggered by higher order request with compaction disabled. This will help us identifying possible misconfiguration right from the oom report which is easier than to always keep in mind that somebody might have disabled COMPACTION without a good reason.

File pages use a set of radix tree tags (DIRTY, TOWRITE, WRITEBACK, etc.) to accelerate finding the pages with a specific tag in the radix tree during inode writeback. But for anonymous pages in the swap cache, there is no inode writeback. So there is no need to find the pages with some writeback tags in the radix tree. It is not necessary to touch radix tree writeback tags for pages in the swap cache. Per Rik van Riel's suggestion, a new flag AS_NO_WRITEBACK_TAGS is introduced for address spaces which don't need to update the writeback tags. The flag is set for swap caches. It may be used for DAX file systems, etc. With this patch, the swap out bandwidth improved 22.3% (from ~1.2GB/s to ~1.48GBps) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. The improvement comes from the reduced contention on the swap cache radix tree lock. To test sequential swapping out, the test case uses 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until RAM and part of the swap device is used up.

Currently significant amount of memory is reserved only in kernel booted to capture kernel dump using the fa_dump method. Kernels compiled with CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT will initialize only certain size memory per node. The certain size takes into account the dentry and inode cache sizes. Currently the cache sizes are calculated based on the total system memory including the reserved memory. However such a kernel when booting the same kernel as fadump kernel will not be able to allocate the required amount of memory to suffice for the dentry and inode caches. This results in crashes like Hence only implement arch_reserved_kernel_pages() for CONFIG_FA_DUMP configurations. The amount reserved will be reduced while calculating the large caches and will avoid crashes like the below on large systems such as 32 TB systems.

The total reserved memory in a system is accounted but not available for use use outside mm/memblock.c. By exposing the total reserved memory, systems can better calculate the size of large hashes.

Currently arch specific code can reserve memory blocks but alloc_large_system_hash() may not take it into consideration when sizing the hashes. This can lead to bigger hash than required and lead to no available memory for other purposes. This is specifically true for systems with CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT enabled. One approach to solve this problem would be to walk through the memblock regions and calculate the available memory and base the size of hash system on the available memory. The other approach would be to depend on the architecture to provide the number of pages that are reserved. This change provides hooks to allow the architecture to provide the required info.
