      mempool: add unlikely and likely hints · eb9a3c62
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      Add unlikely and likely hints to the function mempool_free.  It lays out
      the code in such a way that the common path is executed straighforward and
      saves a cache line.

      mm, compaction: determine isolation mode only once · da1c67a7
      David Rientjes authored
      The conditions that control the isolation mode in
      isolate_migratepages_range() do not change during the iteration, so
      extract them out and only define the value once.
      
      This actually does have an effect, gcc doesn't optimize it itself because
      of cc->sync.

      mm, mempolicy: remove per-process flag · f0432d15
      David Rientjes authored
      PF_MEMPOLICY is an unnecessary optimization for CONFIG_SLAB users.
      There's no significant performance degradation to checking
      current->mempolicy rather than current->flags & PF_MEMPOLICY in the
      allocation path, especially since this is considered unlikely().
      
      Running TCP_RR with netperf-2.4.5 through localhost on 16 cpu machine with
      64GB of memory and without a mempolicy:
      
      	threads		before		after
      	16		1249409		1244487
      	32		1281786		1246783
      	48		1239175		1239138
      	64		1244642		1241841

      	128		1327607		1326502
      
      Per-process flags are a scarce resource so we should free them up whenever
      possible and make them available.  We'll be using it shortly for memcg oom
      reserves.

      mm, mempolicy: rename slab_node for clarity · 2a389610
      David Rientjes authored
      slab_node() is actually a mempolicy function, so rename it to
      mempolicy_slab_node() to make it clearer that it used for processes with
      mempolicies.
      
      At the same time, cleanup its code by saving numa_mem_id() in a local
      variable (since we require a node with memory, not just any node) and
      remove an obsolete comment that assumes the mempolicy is actually passed
      into the function.

      To increase compiler portability there is <linux/compiler.h> which
      provides convenience macros for various gcc constructs.  Eg: __weak for
      __attribute__((weak)).  I've replaced all instances of gcc attributes with
      the right macro in the memory management (/mm) subsystem.

      mm: per-thread vma caching · 615d6e87
      Davidlohr Bueso authored
      This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(),
      avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults.
      The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the
      largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random,
      thus further comparison with other approaches were needed.  There are
      two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and
      the latency of find_vma().  Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily
      translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy
      caching schemes can be too high to consider.
      
      We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which
      provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by
      up to 250%, for workloads with good locality.  On the other hand, this
      simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality.
      Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are
      running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations
      below 1%.
      
      The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread
      cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost.
      Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence
      number.  The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq
      number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are
      flushed.  Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the
      page number that contains the virtual address in question.  Concretely,
      the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box:
      
      1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread
         scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to
         the cache.
      
      +----------------+----------+------------------+
      | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
      +----------------+----------+------------------+
      | baseline       | 50.61%   | 19.90            |
      | patched        | 73.45%   | 13.58            |
      +----------------+----------+------------------+
      
      2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current
         approach as we're dealing with good locality.
      
      +----------------+----------+------------------+
      | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
      +----------------+----------+------------------+
      | baseline       | 75.28%   | 11.03            |
      | patched        | 88.09%   | 9.31             |
      +----------------+----------+------------------+
      
      3) Oracle 11g Data Mining (4k pages): Similar to the kernel build workload.
      
      +----------------+----------+------------------+
      | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
      +----------------+----------+------------------+
      | baseline       | 70.66%   | 17.14            |
      | patched        | 91.15%   | 12.57            |
      +----------------+----------+------------------+
      
      4) Ebizzy: There's a fair amount of variation from run to run, but this
         approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just
         about non-existent.  The amounts of cycles can fluctuate between
         anywhere from ~60 to ~116 for the baseline scheme, but this approach
         reduces it considerably.  For instance, with 80 threads:
      
      +----------------+----------+------------------+
      | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
      +----------------+----------+------------------+
      | baseline       | 1.06%    | 91.54            |
      | patched        | 99.97%   | 14.18            |
      +----------------+----------+------------------+

      mm: introduce vm_ops->map_pages() · 8c6e50b0
      Kirill A. Shutemov authored
      Here's new version of faultaround patchset.  It took a while to tune it
      and collect performance data.
      
      First patch adds new callback ->map_pages to vm_operations_struct.
      
      ->map_pages() is called when VM asks to map easy accessible pages.
      Filesystem should find and map pages associated with offsets from
      "pgoff" till "max_pgoff".  ->map_pages() is called with page table
      locked and must not block.  If it's not possible to reach a page without
      blocking, filesystem should skip it.  Filesystem should use do_set_pte()
      to setup page table entry.  Pointer to entry associated with offset
      "pgoff" is passed in "pte" field in vm_fault structure.  Pointers to
      entries for other offsets should be calculated relative to "pte".
      
      Currently VM use ->map_pages only on read page fault path.  We try to
      map FAULT_AROUND_PAGES a time.  FAULT_AROUND_PAGES is 16 for now.
      Performance data for different FAULT_AROUND_ORDER is below.
      
      TODO:
       - implement ->map_pages() for shmem/tmpfs;
       - modify get_user_pages() to be able to use ->map_pages() and implement
         mmap(MAP_POPULATE|MAP_NONBLOCK) on top.

      This patch (of 2):
      
      Introduce new vm_ops callback ->map_pages() and uses it for mapping easy
      accessible pages around fault address.
      
      On read page fault, if filesystem provides ->map_pages(), we try to map up
      to FAULT_AROUND_PAGES pages around page fault address in hope to reduce
      number of minor page faults.
      
      We call ->map_pages first and use ->fault() as fallback if page by the
      offset is not ready to be mapped (cold page cache or something).

      tools/vm/page-types.c: page-cache sniffing feature · 65a6a410
      Konstantin Khlebnikov authored
      After this patch 'page-types' can walk over a file's mappings and
      analyze populated page cache pages mostly without disturbing its state.
      
      It maps chunk of file, marks VMA as MADV_RANDOM to turn off readahead,
      pokes VMA via mincore() to determine cached pages, triggers page-fault
      only for them, and finally gathers information via pagemap/kpageflags.
      Before unmap it marks VMA as MADV_SEQUENTIAL for ignoring reference
      bits.
      
      usage: page-types -f <path>
      
      If <path> is directory it will analyse all files in all subdirectories.
      
      Symlinks are not followed as well as mount points.  Hardlinks aren't
      handled, they'll be dumped as many times as they are found.  Recursive
      walk brings all dentries into dcache and populates page cache of
      block-devices aka 'Buffers'.
      
      Probably it's worth to add ioctl for dumping file page cache as array of
      PFNs as a replacement for this hackish juggling with
      mmap/madvise/mincore/pagemap.  Also recursive walk could be replaced
      with dumping cached inodes via some ioctl or debugfs interface followed
      by openning them via open_by_handle_at, this would fix hardlinks
      handling and unneeded population of dcache and buffers.  This interface
      might be used as data source for constructing readahead plans and for
      background optimizations of actively used files.
      
      collateral changes:
      + fix 64-bit LFS: define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS instead of _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
      + replace lseek + read with single pread
      + make show_page_range() reusable after flush
      
      usage example:
      
        ~/src/linux/tools/vm$ sudo ./page-types -L -f page-types
        foffset offset    flags
        page-types       Inode: 2229277       Size: 89065 (22 pages)

      mm: revert "thp: make MADV_HUGEPAGE check for mm->def_flags" · 1e1836e8
      Alex Thorlton authored
      The main motivation behind this patch is to provide a way to disable THP
      for jobs where the code cannot be modified, and using a malloc hook with
      madvise is not an option (i.e.  statically allocated data).  This patch
      allows us to do just that, without affecting other jobs running on the
      system.
      
      We need to do this sort of thing for jobs where THP hurts performance,
      due to the possibility of increased remote memory accesses that can be
      created by situations such as the following:
      
      When you touch 1 byte of an untouched, contiguous 2MB chunk, a THP will
      be handed out, and the THP will be stuck on whatever node the chunk was
      originally referenced from.  If many remote nodes need to do work on
      that same chunk, they'll be making remote accesses.
      
      With THP disabled, 4K pages can be handed out to separate nodes as
      they're needed, greatly reducing the amount of remote accesses to
      memory.
      
      This patch is based on some of my work combined with some
      suggestions/patches given by Oleg Nesterov.  The main goal here is to
      add a prctl switch to allow us to disable to THP on a per mm_struct
      basis.
      
      Here's a bit of test data with the new patch in place...

      As with previous versions of the patch, We're getting about a 2x
      performance increase here.  Here's a link to the test case I used, along
      with the little wrapper to activate the flag:
      
        http://oss.sgi.com/projects/memtests/thp_pthread_mmprctlv3.tar.gz
      
      This patch (of 3):
      
      Revert commit 8e72033f and add in code to fix up any issues caused
      by the revert.
      
      The revert is necessary because hugepage_madvise would return -EINVAL
      when VM_NOHUGEPAGE is set, which will break subsequent chunks of this
      patch set.
      
      Here's a snip of an e-mail from Gerald detailing the original purpose of
      this code, and providing justification for the revert:
      
        "The intent of commit 8e72033f was to guard against any future
         programming errors that may result in an madvice(MADV_HUGEPAGE) on
         guest mappings, which would crash the kernel.
      
         Martin suggested adding the bit to arch/s390/mm/pgtable.c, if
         8e72033f was to be reverted, because that check will also prevent
         a kernel crash in the case described above, it will now send a
         SIGSEGV instead.
      
         This would now also allow to do the madvise on other parts, if
         needed, so it is a more flexible approach.  One could also say that
         it would have been better to do it this way right from the
         beginning..."

      mm/compaction: check pageblock suitability once per pageblock · c122b208
      Joonsoo Kim authored
      isolation_suitable() and migrate_async_suitable() is used to be sure
      that this pageblock range is fine to be migragted.  It isn't needed to
      call it on every page.  Current code do well if not suitable, but, don't
      do well when suitable.
      
      1) It re-checks isolation_suitable() on each page of a pageblock that was
         already estabilished as suitable.
      2) It re-checks migrate_async_suitable() on each page of a pageblock that
         was not entered through the next_pageblock: label, because
         last_pageblock_nr is not otherwise updated.
      
      This patch fixes situation by 1) calling isolation_suitable() only once
      per pageblock and 2) always updating last_pageblock_nr to the pageblock
      that was just checked.
      
      Additionally, move PageBuddy() check after pageblock unit check, since
      pageblock check is the first thing we should do and makes things more
      simple.

      mm/compaction: change the timing to check to drop the spinlock · be1aa03b
      Joonsoo Kim authored
      It is odd to drop the spinlock when we scan (SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX - 1) th
      pfn page.  This may results in below situation while isolating
      migratepage.
      
      1. try isolate 0x0 ~ 0x200 pfn pages.
      2. When low_pfn is 0x1ff, ((low_pfn+1) % SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX) == 0, so drop
         the spinlock.
      3. Then, to complete isolating, retry to aquire the lock.
      
      I think that it is better to use SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX th pfn for checking the
      criteria about dropping the lock.  This has no harm 0x0 pfn, because, at
      this time, locked variable would be false.

      mm/compaction: do not call suitable_migration_target() on every page · 01ead534
      Joonsoo Kim authored
      suitable_migration_target() checks that pageblock is suitable for
      migration target.  In isolate_freepages_block(), it is called on every
      page and this is inefficient.  So make it called once per pageblock.
      
      suitable_migration_target() also checks if page is highorder or not, but
      it's criteria for highorder is pageblock order.  So calling it once
      within pageblock range has no problem.

      mm/compaction: disallow high-order page for migration target · 7d348b9e
      Joonsoo Kim authored
      Purpose of compaction is to get a high order page.  Currently, if we
      find high-order page while searching migration target page, we break it
      to order-0 pages and use them as migration target.  It is contrary to
      purpose of compaction, so disallow high-order page to be used for
      migration target.
      
      Additionally, clean-up logic in suitable_migration_target() to simplify
      the code.  There is no functional changes from this clean-up.

      mm: exclude memoryless nodes from zone_reclaim · 70ef57e6
      Michal Hocko authored
      We had a report about strange OOM killer strikes on a PPC machine
      although there was a lot of swap free and a tons of anonymous memory
      which could be swapped out.  In the end it turned out that the OOM was a
      side effect of zone reclaim which wasn't unmapping and swapping out and
      so the system was pushed to the OOM.  Although this sounds like a bug
      somewhere in the kswapd vs.  zone reclaim vs.  direct reclaim
      interaction numactl on the said hardware suggests that the zone reclaim
      should not have been set in the first place:
      
        node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
        node 0 size: 0 MB
        node 0 free: 0 MB
        node 2 cpus:
        node 2 size: 7168 MB
        node 2 free: 6019 MB
        node distances:
        node   0   2
        0:  10  40
        2:  40  10
      
      So all the CPUs are associated with Node0 which doesn't have any memory
      while Node2 contains all the available memory.  Node distances cause an
      automatic zone_reclaim_mode enabling.
      
      Zone reclaim is intended to keep the allocations local but this doesn't
      make any sense on the memoryless nodes.  So let's exclude such nodes for
      init_zone_allows_reclaim which evaluates zone reclaim behavior and
      suitable reclaim_nodes.

      Sometimes the zone is just a promoted highmem zone to force a scan of
      highmem, which is not the intended zone the caller want to allocate a
      page from.  In this situation, setting aborted_reclaim to indicate the
      caller turned back to retry the allocation is waste of time and could
      cause a loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath().
      
      This patch does not check compaction_ready() on promoted zones to avoid
      the above situation.  Only set aborted_reclaim if the caller intended
      zone is ready for compaction.

      mm/vmscan: restore sc->gfp_mask after promoting it to __GFP_HIGHMEM · 619d0d76
      Weijie Yang authored
      We promote sc->gfp_mask to __GFP_HIGHMEM to forcibly scan highmem if
      there are too many buffer_heads pinning highmem.  See cc715d99 ("mm:
      vmscan: forcibly scan highmem if there are too many buffer_heads pinning
      highmem").
      
      This patch restores sc->gfp_mask to its caller original value after
      finishing the scan job, to avoid the impact on other invocations from
      its upper caller, such as vmpressure_prio(), shrink_slab().

      mm: move mmu notifier call from change_protection to change_pmd_range · a5338093
      Rik van Riel authored
      The NUMA scanning code can end up iterating over many gigabytes of
      unpopulated memory, especially in the case of a freshly started KVM
      guest with lots of memory.
      
      This results in the mmu notifier code being called even when there are
      no mapped pages in a virtual address range.  The amount of time wasted
      can be enough to trigger soft lockup warnings with very large KVM
      guests.
      
      This patch moves the mmu notifier call to the pmd level, which
      represents 1GB areas of memory on x86-64.  Furthermore, the mmu notifier
      code is only called from the address in the PMD where present mappings
      are first encountered.
      
      The hugetlbfs code is left alone for now; hugetlb mappings are not
      relocatable, and as such are left alone by the NUMA code, and should
      never trigger this problem to begin with.

      The VM_BUG_ON was added in -mm by the patch "mm,numa: reorganize
      change_pmd_range".  The race existed without the patch but was just
      harder to hit.
      
      The problem is that a transhuge check is made without holding the PTL.
      It's possible at the time of the check that a parallel fault clears the
      pmd and inserts a new one which then triggers the VM_BUG_ON check.  This
      patch removes the VM_BUG_ON but fixes the race by rechecking transhuge
      under the PTL when marking page tables for NUMA hinting and bailing if a
      race occurred.  It is not a problem for calls to mprotect() as they hold
      mmap_sem for write.

      - Convert printk(KERN_ERR to pr_warn in __ntfs_warning.

      - Convert printk(KERN_DEBUG to pr_debug in __ntfs_debug.  (Note that
        __ntfs_debug is still guarded by #if DEBUG)
      
      - Improve !DEBUG to parse all arguments (Joe Perches).
      
      - Sparse pr_foo() conversions in super.c
      
      NTFS, NTFS-fs prefixes as well as 'warning' and 'error' were removed :
      pr_foo() automatically adds module name and error level is already

       - Fix a dangling bio bug in the dm-thinp target's process_deferred_bios
         error path
      
       - Fix corruption due to non-atomic transaction commit which allowed a
         metadata superblock to be written before all other metadata was
         successfully written -- this is common to all targets that use the
         persistent-data library's transaction manager (dm-thinp, dm-cache and
         dm-era).
      
       - Various small cleanups in the DM core
      
       - Add the dm-era target which is useful for keeping track of which
         blocks were written within a user defined period of time called an
         'era'.  Use cases include tracking changed blocks for backup
         software, and partially invalidating the contents of a cache to
         restore cache coherency after rolling back a vendor snapshot.
      
       - Improve the on-disk layout of multithreaded writes to the
         dm-thin-pool by splitting the pool's deferred bio list to be a
         per-thin device list and then sorting that list using an rb_tree.
         The subsequent read throughput of the data written via multiple
         threads improved by ~70%.
      
       - Simplify the multipath target's handling of queuing IO by pushing
         requests back to the request queue rather than queueing the IO
         internally.
