Address more review comments from last round of code review. 1) Enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning freed memory with pattern '0'. This could be used to get rid of poison_init_mem() on ARM64. 2) A previous patch has disabled memory poison for initmem on s390 by mistake, so restore to the original behavior. 3) Remove redundant PAGE_ALIGN() when calling free_reserved_area().

Considering the use cases where the swap device supports discard: a) and can do it quickly; b) but it's slow to do in small granularities (or concurrent with other I/O); c) but the implementation is so horrendous that you don't even want to send one down; And assuming that the sysadmin considers it useful to send the discards down at all, we would (probably) want the following solutions: i. do the fine-grained discards for freed swap pages, if device is capable of doing so optimally; ii. do single-time (batched) swap area discards, either at swapon or via something like fstrim (not implemented yet); iii. allow doing both single-time and fine-grained discards; or iv. turn it off completely (default behavior) As implemented today, one can only enable/disable discards for swap, but one cannot select, for instance, solution (ii) on a swap device like (b) even though the single-time discard is regarded to be interesting, or necessary to the workload because it would imply (1), and the device is not capable of performing it optimally. This patch addresses the scenario depicted above by introducing a way to ensure the (probably) wanted solutions (i, ii, iii and iv) can be flexibly flagged through swapon(8) to allow a sysadmin to select the best suitable swap discard policy accordingly to system constraints. This patch introduces SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES and SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE new flags to allow more flexibe swap discard policies being flagged through swapon(8). The default behavior is to keep both single-time, or batched, area discards (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE) and fine-grained discards for page-clusters (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES) enabled, in order to keep consistentcy with older kernel behavior, as well as maintain compatibility with older swapon(8). However, through the new introduced flags the best suitable discard policy can be selected accordingly to any given swap device constraint.

Currently the per cpu counter's batch size for memory accounting is configured as twice the number of cpus in the system. However, for system with very large memory, it is more appropriate to make it proportional to the memory size per cpu in the system. For example, for a x86_64 system with 64 cpus and 128 GB of memory, the batch size is only 2*64 pages (0.5 MB). So any memory accounting changes of more than 0.5MB will overflow the per cpu counter into the global counter. Instead, for the new scheme, the batch size is configured to be 0.4% of the memory/cpu = 8MB (128 GB/64 /256), which is more inline with the memory size. I've done a repeated brk test of 800KB (from will-it-scale test suite) with 80 concurrent processes on a 4 socket Westmere machine with a total of 40 cores. Without the patch, about 80% of cpu is spent on spin-lock contention within the vm_committed_as counter. With the patch, there's a 73x speedup on the benchmark and the lock contention drops off almost entirely.

During early boot-up, iomem_resource is set up from the boot descriptor table, such as EFI Memory Table and e820. Later, acpi_memory_device_add() calls add_memory() for each ACPI memory device object as it enumerates ACPI namespace. This add_memory() call is expected to fail in register_memory_resource() at boot since iomem_resource has been set up from EFI/e820. As a result, add_memory() returns -EEXIST, which acpi_memory_device_add() handles as the normal case. This scheme works fine, but the following error message is logged for every ACPI memory device object during boot-up. "System RAM resource %pR cannot be added\n" This patch changes register_memory_resource() to use pr_debug() for the message as it shows up under the normal case.

After a successful page migration by soft offlining, the source page is not properly freed and it's never reusable even if we unpoison it afterward. This is caused by the race between freeing page and setting PG_hwpoison. In successful soft offlining, the source page is put (and the refcount becomes 0) by putback_lru_page() in unmap_and_move(), where it's linked to pagevec and actual freeing back to buddy is delayed. So if PG_hwpoison is set for the page before freeing, the freeing does not functions as expected (in such case freeing aborts in free_pages_prepare() check.) This patch tries to make sure to free the source page before setting PG_hwpoison on it. To avoid reallocating, the page keeps MIGRATE_ISOLATE until after setting PG_hwpoison. This patch also removes obsolete comments about "keeping elevated refcount" because what they say is not true. Unlike memory_failure(), soft_offline_page() uses no special page isolation code, and the soft-offlined pages have no elevated.

Similar to __pagevec_lru_add, this patch removes the LRU parameter from __lru_cache_add and lru_cache_add_lru as the caller does not control the exact LRU the page gets added to. lru_cache_add_lru gets renamed to lru_cache_add the name is silly without the lru parameter. With the parameter removed, it is required that the caller indicate if they want the page added to the active or inactive list by setting or clearing PageActive respectively.

Now that the LRU to add a page to is decided at LRU-add time, remove the misleading lru parameter from __pagevec_lru_add. A consequence of this is that the pagevec_lru_add_file, pagevec_lru_add_anon and similar helpers are misleading as the caller no longer has direct control over what LRU the page is added to. Unused helpers are removed by this patch and existing users of pagevec_lru_add_file() are converted to use lru_cache_add_file() directly and use the per-cpu pagevecs instead of creating their own pagevec.

If a page is on a pagevec then it is !PageLRU and mark_page_accessed() may fail to move a page to the active list as expected. Now that the LRU is selected at LRU drain time, mark pages PageActive if they are on the local pagevec so it gets moved to the correct list at LRU drain time. Using a debugging patch it was found that for a simple git checkout based workload that pages were never added to the active file list in practice but with this patch applied they are. before after LRU Add Active File 0 750583 LRU Add Active Anon 2640587 2702818 LRU Add Inactive File 8833662 8068353 LRU Add Inactive Anon 207 200 Note that only pages on the local pagevec are considered on purpose. A !PageLRU page could be in the process of being released, reclaimed, migrated or on a remote pagevec that is currently being drained. Marking it PageActive is vunerable to races where PageLRU and Active bits are checked at the wrong time. Page reclaim will trigger VM_BUG_ONs but depending on when the race hits, it could also free a PageActive page to the page allocator and trigger a bad_page warning. Similarly a potential race exists between a per-cpu drain on a pagevec list and an activation on a remote CPU. lru_add_drain_cpu __pagevec_lru_add lru = page_lru(page); mark_page_accessed if (PageLRU(page)) activate_page else SetPageActive SetPageLRU(page); add_page_to_lru_list(page, lruvec, lru); In this case a PageActive page is added to the inactivate list and later the inactive/active stats will get skewed. While the PageActive checks in vmscan could be removed and potentially dealt with, a skew in the statistics would be very difficult to detect. Hence this patch deals just with the common case where a page being marked accessed has just been added to the local pagevec.

mark_page_accessed() cannot activate an inactive page that is located on an inactive LRU pagevec. Hints from filesystems may be ignored as a result. In preparation for fixing that problem, this patch removes the per-LRU pagevecs and leaves just one pagevec. The final LRU the page is added to is deferred until the pagevec is drained. This means that fewer pagevecs are available and potentially there is greater contention on the LRU lock. However, this only applies in the case where there is an almost perfect mix of file, anon, active and inactive pages being added to the LRU. In practice I expect that we are adding stream of pages of a particular time and that the changes in contention will barely be measurable.

Andrew Perepechko reported a problem whereby pages are being prematurely evicted as the mark_page_accessed() hint is ignored for pages that are currently on a pagevec -- http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ext4/msg37340.html . Alexey Lyahkov and Robin Dong have also reported problems recently that could be due to hot pages reaching the end of the inactive list too quickly and be reclaimed. Rather than addressing this on a per-filesystem basis, this series aims to fix the mark_page_accessed() interface by deferring what LRU a page is added to pagevec drain time and allowing mark_page_accessed() to call SetPageActive on a pagevec page. Patch 1 adds two tracepoints for LRU page activation and insertion. Using these processes it's possible to build a model of pages in the LRU that can be processed offline. Patch 2 defers making the decision on what LRU to add a page to until when the pagevec is drained. Patch 3 searches the local pagevec for pages to mark PageActive on mark_page_accessed. The changelog explains why only the local pagevec is examined. Patches 4 and 5 tidy up the API. postmark, a dd-based test and fs-mark both single and threaded mode were run but none of them showed any performance degradation or gain as a result of the patch. Using patch 1, I built a *very* basic model of the LRU to examine offline what the average age of different page types on the LRU were in milliseconds. Of course, capturing the trace distorts the test as it's written to local disk but it does not matter for the purposes of this test. The average age of pages in milliseconds were vanilla deferdrain Average age mapped anon: 1454 1250 Average age mapped file: 127841 155552 Average age unmapped anon: 85 235 Average age unmapped file: 73633 38884 Average age unmapped buffers: 74054 116155 The LRU activity was mostly files which you'd expect for a dd-based workload. Note that the average age of buffer pages is increased by the series and it is expected this is due to the fact that the buffer pages are now getting added to the active list when drained from the pagevecs. Note that the average age of the unmapped file data is decreased as they are still added to the inactive list and are reclaimed before the buffers. There is no guarantee this is a universal win for all workloads and it would be nice if the filesystem people gave some thought as to whether this decision is generally a win or a loss. This patch: Using these tracepoints it is possible to model LRU activity and the average residency of pages of different types. This can be used to debug problems related to premature reclaim of pages of particular types.

This patch introduces mmap_vmcore(). Don't permit writable nor executable mapping even with mprotect() because this mmap() is aimed at reading crash dump memory. Non-writable mapping is also requirement of remap_pfn_range() when mapping linear pages on non-consecutive physical pages; see is_cow_mapping(). Set VM_MIXEDMAP flag to remap memory by remap_pfn_range and by remap_vmalloc_range_pertial at the same time for a single vma. do_munmap() can correctly clean partially remapped vma with two functions in abnormal case. See zap_pte_range(), vm_normal_page() and their comments for details. On x86-32 PAE kernels, mmap() supports at most 16TB memory only. This limitation comes from the fact that the third argument of remap_pfn_range(), pfn, is of 32-bit length on x86-32: unsigned long.

The previous patches newly added holes before each chunk of memory and the holes need to be count in vmcore file size. There are two ways to count file size in such a way: 1) suppose m is a poitner to the last vmcore object in vmcore_list. Then file size is (m->offset + m->size), or 2) calculate sum of size of buffers for ELF header, program headers, ELF note segments and objects in vmcore_list. Although 1) is more direct and simpler than 2), 2) seems better in that it reflects internal object structure of /proc/vmcore. Thus, this patch changes get_vmcore_size_elf{64, 32} so that it calculates size in the way of 2). As a result, both get_vmcore_size_elf{64, 32} have the same definition. Merge them as get_vmcore_size.

The reasons why we don't allocate ELF note segment in the 1st kernel (old memory) on page boundary is to keep backward compatibility for old kernels, and that if doing so, we waste not a little memory due to round-up operation to fit the memory to page boundary since most of the buffers are in per-cpu area. ELF notes are per-cpu, so total size of ELF note segments depends on number of CPUs. The current maximum number of CPUs on x86_64 is 5192, and there's already system with 4192 CPUs in SGI, where total size amounts to 1MB. This can be larger in the near future or possibly even now on another architecture that has larger size of note per a single cpu. Thus, to avoid the case where memory allocation for large block fails, we allocate vmcore objects on vmalloc memory. This patch adds elfnotes_buf and elfnotes_sz variables to keep pointer to the ELF note segment buffer and its size. There's no longer the vmcore object that corresponds to the ELF note segment in vmcore_list. Accordingly, read_vmcore() has new case for ELF note segment and set_vmcore_list_offsets_elf{64,32}() and other helper functions starts calculating offset from sum of size of ELF headers and size of ELF note segment.

We want to allocate ELF note segment buffer on the 2nd kernel in vmalloc space and remap it to user-space in order to reduce the risk that memory allocation fails on system with huge number of CPUs and so with huge ELF note segment that exceeds 11-order block size. Although there's already remap_vmalloc_range for the purpose of remapping vmalloc memory to user-space, we need to specify user-space range via vma. Mmap on /proc/vmcore needs to remap range across multiple objects, so the interface that requires vma to cover full range is problematic. This patch introduces remap_vmalloc_range_partial that receives user-space range as a pair of base address and size and can be used for mmap on /proc/vmcore case. remap_vmalloc_range is rewritten using remap_vmalloc_range_partial.

Currently, __find_vmap_area searches for the kernel VM area starting at a given address. This patch changes this behavior so that it searches for the kernel VM area to which the address belongs. This change is needed by remap_vmalloc_range_partial to be introduced in later patch that receives any position of kernel VM area as target address. This patch changes the condition (addr > va->va_start) to the equivalent (addr >= va->va_end) by taking advantage of the fact that each kernel VM area is non-overlapping.

vmcore: treat memory chunks referenced by PT_LOAD program header entries in page-size boundary in vmcore_list Treat memory chunks referenced by PT_LOAD program header entries in page-size boundary in vmcore_list. Formally, for each range [start, end], we set up the corresponding vmcore object in vmcore_list to [rounddown(start, PAGE_SIZE), roundup(end, PAGE_SIZE)]. This change affects layout of /proc/vmcore. The gaps generated by the rearrangement are newly made visible to applications as holes. Concretely, they are two ranges [rounddown(start, PAGE_SIZE), start] and [end, roundup(end, PAGE_SIZE)]. Suppose variable m points at a vmcore object in vmcore_list, and variable phdr points at the program header of PT_LOAD type the variable m corresponds to. Then, pictorially: m->offset +---------------+ | hole | phdr->p_offset = +---------------+ m->offset + (paddr - start) | |\ | kernel memory | phdr->p_memsz | |/ +---------------+ | hole | m->offset + m->size +---------------+ where m->offset and m->offset + m->size are always page-size aligned.

Allocate ELF headers on page-size boundary using __get_free_pages() instead of kmalloc(). Later patch will merge PT_NOTE entries into a single unique one and decrease the buffer size actually used. Keep original buffer size in variable elfcorebuf_sz_orig to kfree the buffer later and actually used buffer size with rounded up to page-size boundary in variable elfcorebuf_sz separately. The size of part of the ELF buffer exported from /proc/vmcore is elfcorebuf_sz. The merged, removed PT_NOTE entries, i.e. the range [elfcorebuf_sz, elfcorebuf_sz_orig], is filled with 0. Use size of the ELF headers as an initial offset value in set_vmcore_list_offsets_elf{64,32} and process_ptload_program_headers_elf{64,32} in order to indicate that the offset includes the holes towards the page boundary. As a result, both set_vmcore_list_offsets_elf{64,32} have the same definition. Merge them as set_vmcore_list_offsets.

VM page reclaim uses dirty and writeback page states to determine if flushers are cleaning pages too slowly and that page reclaim should stall waiting on flushers to catch up. Page state in NFS is a bit more complex and a clean page can be unreclaimable due to being unstable which is effectively "dirty" from the perspective of the VM from reclaim context. Similarly, if the inode is currently being committed then it's similar to being under writeback. This patch adds a is_dirty_writeback() handled for NFS that checks if a pages backing inode is being committed and should be accounted as writeback and if a page has private state indicating that it is effectively dirty.

Page reclaim keeps track of dirty and under writeback pages and uses it to determine if wait_iff_congested() should stall or if kswapd should begin writing back pages. This fails to account for buffer pages that can be under writeback but not PageWriteback which is the case for filesystems like ext3 ordered mode. Furthermore, PageDirty buffer pages can have all the buffers clean and writepage does no IO so it should not be accounted as congested. This patch adds an address_space operation that filesystems may optionally use to check if a page is really dirty or really under writeback. An implementation is provided for for buffer_heads is added and used for block operations and ext3 in ordered mode. By default the page flags are obeyed. Credit goes to Jan Kara for identifying that the page flags alone are not sufficient for ext3 and sanity checking a number of ideas on how the problem could be addressed.
