The output of /proc/$pid/numa_maps is in terms of number of pages like anon=22 or dirty=54. Here's some output: 7f4680000000 default file=/hugetlb/bigfile anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50 7f7659600000 default file=/anon_hugepage\040(deleted) anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50 7fff8d425000 default stack anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50 Looks like we have a stack and a couple of anonymous hugetlbfs areas page which both use the same amount of memory. They don't. The 'bigfile' uses 1GB pages and takes up ~50GB of space. The anon_hugepage uses 2MB pages and takes up ~100MB of space while the stack uses normal 4k pages. You can go over to smaps to figure out what the page size _really_ is with KernelPageSize or MMUPageSize. But, I think this is a pretty nasty and counterintuitive interface as it stands. This patch introduces 'kernelpagesize_kB' line element to /proc/<pid>/numa_maps report file in order to help identifying the size of pages that are backing memory areas mapped by a given task. This is specially useful to help differentiating between HUGE and GIGANTIC page backed VMAs. This patch is based on Dave Hansen's proposal and reviewer's follow-ups taken from the following dicussion threads: * https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/21/454 * https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/20/66Signed-off-by:

Peak resident size of a process can be reset back to the process's current rss value by writing "5" to /proc/pid/clear_refs. The driving use-case for this would be getting the peak RSS value, which can be retrieved from the VmHWM field in /proc/pid/status, per benchmark iteration or test scenario.

Keeping fragmentation of zsmalloc in a low level is our target. But now we still need to add the debug code in zsmalloc to get the quantitative data. This patch adds a new configuration CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_STAT to enable the statistics collection for developers. Currently only the objects statatitics in each class are collected. User can get the information via debugfs. cat /sys/kernel/debug/zsmalloc/zram0/...

And there is only 1 page in class 254 zspage. So, No fragmentation will be introduced by allocating objs in class 254. And in future, we can collect other zsmalloc statistics as we need and analyse them. Signed-off-by:Ganesh Mahendran <opensource.ganesh@gmail.com> Suggested-by:

Currently the underlay of zpool: zsmalloc/zbud, do not know who creates them. There is not a method to let zsmalloc/zbud find which caller they belong to. Now we want to add statistics collection in zsmalloc. We need to name the debugfs dir for each pool created. The way suggested by Minchan Kim is to use a name passed by caller(such as zram) to create the zsmalloc pool. /sys/kernel/debug/zsmalloc/zram0 This patch adds an argument `name' to zs_create_pool() and other related functions.

`struct zram' contains both `struct gendisk' and `struct request_queue'. the latter can be deleted, because zram->disk carries ->queue pointer, and ->queue carries zram pointer: create_device() zram->queue->queuedata = zram zram->disk->queue = zram->queue zram->disk->private_data = zram so zram->queue is not needed, we can access all necessary data anyway.

Admin could reset zram during I/O operation going on so we have used zram->init_lock as read-side lock in I/O path to prevent sudden zram meta freeing. However, the init_lock is really troublesome. We can't do call zram_meta_alloc under init_lock due to lockdep splat because zram_rw_page is one of the function under reclaim path and hold it as read_lock while other places in process context hold it as write_lock. So, we have used allocation out of the lock to avoid lockdep warn but it's not good for readability and fainally, I met another lockdep splat between init_lock and cpu_hotplug from kmem_cache_destroy during working zsmalloc compaction. :( Yes, the ideal is to remove horrible init_lock of zram in rw path. This patch removes it in rw path and instead, add atomic refcount for meta lifetime management and completion to free meta in process context. It's important to free meta in process context because some of resource destruction needs mutex lock, which could be held if we releases the resource in reclaim context so it's deadlock, again. As a bonus, we could remove init_done check in rw path because zram_meta_get will do a role for it, instead. Signed-off-by:

We need to return set_capacity(disk, 0) from reset_store() back to zram_reset_device(), a catch by Ganesh Mahendran. Potentially, we can race set_capacity() calls from init and reset paths. The problem is that zram_reset_device() is also getting called from zram_exit(), which performs operations in misleading reversed order -- we first create_device() and then init it, while zram_exit() perform destroy_device() first and then does zram_reset_device(). This is done to remove sysfs group before we reset device, so we can continue with device reset/destruction not being raced by sysfs attr write (f.e. disksize). Apart from that, destroy_device() releases zram->disk (but we still have ->disk pointer), so we cannot acces zram->disk in later zram_reset_device() call, which may cause additional errors in the future. So, this patch rework and cleanup destroy path. 1) remove several unneeded goto labels in zram_init() 2) factor out zram_init() error path and zram_exit() into destroy_devices() function, which takes the number of devices to destroy as its argument. 3) remove sysfs group in destroy_devices() first, so we can reorder operations -- reset device (as expected) goes before disk destroy and queue cleanup. So we can always access ->disk in zram_reset_device(). 4) and, finally, return set_capacity() back under ->init_lock. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: tweak comment] Signed-off-by:

Ganesh Mahendran was the first one who proposed to use bdev->bd_mutex to avoid ->bd_holders race condition: CPU0 CPU1 umount /* zram->init_done is true */ reset_store() bdev->bd_holders == 0 mount ... zram_make_request() zram_reset_device() However, his solution required some considerable amount of code movement, which we can avoid. Apart from using bdev->bd_mutex in reset_store(), this patch also simplifies zram_reset_device(). zram_reset_device() has a bool parameter reset_capacity which tells it whether disk capacity and itself disk should be reset. There are two zram_reset_device() callers: -- zram_exit() passes reset_capacity=false -- reset_store() passes reset_capacity=true So we can move reset_capacity-sensitive work out of zram_reset_device() and perform it unconditionally in reset_store(). This also lets us drop reset_capacity parameter from zram_reset_device() and pass zram pointer only. Signed-off-by: -

The vmstat interfaces are good at hiding negative counts (at least when CONFIG_SMP); but if you peer behind the curtain, you find that nr_isolated_anon and nr_isolated_file soon go negative, and grow ever more negative: so they can absorb larger and larger numbers of isolated pages, yet still appear to be zero. I'm happy to avoid a congestion_wait() when too_many_isolated() myself; but I guess it's there for a good reason, in which case we ought to get too_many_isolated() working again. The imbalance comes from isolate_migratepages()'s ISOLATE_ABORT case: putback_movable_pages() decrements the NR_ISOLATED counts, but we forgot to call acct_isolated() to increment them. It is possible that the bug whcih this patch fixes could cause OOM kills when the system still has a lot of reclaimable page cache.

A race condition starts to be visible in recent mmotm, where a PG_hwpoison flag is set on a migration source page *before* it's back in buddy page poo= l. This is problematic because no page flag is supposed to be set when freeing (see __free_one_page().) So the user-visible effect of this race is that it could trigger the BUG_ON() when soft-offlining is called. The root cause is that we call lru_add_drain_all() to make sure that the page is in buddy, but that doesn't work because this function just schedule= s a work item and doesn't wait its completion. drain_all_pages() does drainin= g directly, so simply dropping lru_add_drain_all() solves this problem.

Although this patch moves static keys decrement from __mem_cgroup_free to mem_cgroup_css_free, it does not introduce any functional changes, because the keys are incremented on setting the limit (tcp or kmem), which can only happen after successful mem_cgroup_css_online.

Currently, freepage isolation in one pageblock doesn't consider how many freepages we isolate. When I traced flow of compaction, compaction sometimes isolates more than 256 freepages to migrate just 32 pages. In this patch, freepage isolation is stopped at the point that we have more isolated freepage than isolated page for migration. This results in slowing down free page scanner and make compaction success rate higher. stress-highalloc test in mmtests with non movable order 7 allocation shows increase of compaction success rate. Compaction success rate (Compaction success * 100 / Compaction stalls, %) 27.13 : 31.82 pfn where both scanners meets on compaction complete (separate test due to enormous tracepoint buffer) (zone_start=4096, zone_end=1048576) 586034 : 654378 In fact, I didn't fully understand why this patch results in such good result. There was a guess that not used freepages are released to pcp list and on next compaction trial we won't isolate them again so compaction success rate would decrease. To prevent this effect, I tested with adding pcp drain code on release_freepages(), but, it has no good effect. Anyway, this patch reduces waste time to isolate unneeded freepages so seems reasonable. Vlastimil said: : I briefly tried it on top of the pivot-changing series and with order-9 : allocations it reduced free page scanned counter by almost 10%. No effect : on success rates (maybe because pivot changing already took care of the : scanners meeting problem) but the scanning reduction is good on its own. : : It also explains why e14c720e ("mm, compaction: remember position : within pageblock in free pages scanner") had less than expected : improvements. It would only actually stop within pageblock in case of : async compaction detecting contention.

What we want to check here is whether there is highorder freepage in buddy list of other migratetype in order to steal it without fragmentation. But, current code just checks cc->order which means allocation request order. So, this is wrong. Without this fix, non-movable synchronous compaction below pageblock order would not stopped until compaction is complete, because migratetype of most pageblocks are movable and high order freepage made by compaction is usually on movable type buddy list. There is some report related to this bug. See below link. http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg81666.html Although the issued system still has load spike comes from compaction, this makes that system completely stable and responsive according to his report. stress-highalloc test in mmtests with non movable order 7 allocation doesn't show any notable difference in allocation success rate, but, it shows more compaction success rate.

To speed up further allocations SLUB may store empty slabs in per cpu/node partial lists instead of freeing them immediately. This prevents per memcg caches destruction, because kmem caches created for a memory cgroup are only destroyed after the last page charged to the cgroup is freed. To fix this issue, this patch resurrects approach first proposed in [1]. It forbids SLUB to cache empty slabs after the memory cgroup that the cache belongs to was destroyed. It is achieved by setting kmem_cache's cpu_partial and min_partial constants to 0 and tuning put_cpu_partial() so that it would drop frozen empty slabs immediately if cpu_partial = 0. The runtime overhead is minimal. From all the hot functions, we only touch relatively cold put_cpu_partial(): we make it call unfreeze_partials() after freezing a slab that belongs to an offline memory cgroup. Since slab freezing exists to avoid moving slabs from/to a partial list on free/alloc, and there can't be allocations from dead caches, it shouldn't cause any overhead. We do have to disable preemption for put_cpu_partial() to achieve that though. The original patch was accepted well and even merged to the mm tree. However, I decided to withdraw it due to changes happening to the memcg core at that time. I had an idea of introducing per-memcg shrinkers for kmem caches, but now, as memcg has finally settled down, I do not see it as an option, because SLUB shrinker would be too costly to call since SLUB does not keep free slabs on a separate list. Besides, we currently do not even call per-memcg shrinkers for offline memcgs. Overall, it would introduce much more complexity to both SLUB and memcg than this small patch. Regarding to SLAB, there's no problem with it, because it shrinks per-cpu/node caches periodically. Thanks to list_lru reparenting, we no longer keep entries for offline cgroups in per-memcg arrays (such as memcg_cache_params->memcg_caches), so we do not have to bother if a per-memcg cache will be shrunk a bit later than it could be.

SLUB's version of __kmem_cache_shrink() not only removes empty slabs, but also tries to rearrange the partial lists to place slabs filled up most to the head to cope with fragmentation. To achieve that, it allocates a temporary array of lists used to sort slabs by the number of objects in use. If the allocation fails, the whole procedure is aborted. This is unacceptable for the kernel memory accounting extension of the memory cgroup, where we want to make sure that kmem_cache_shrink() successfully discarded empty slabs. Although the allocation failure is utterly unlikely with the current page allocator implementation, which retries GFP_KERNEL allocations of order <= 2 infinitely, it is better not to rely on that. This patch therefore makes __kmem_cache_shrink() allocate the array on stack instead of calling kmalloc, which may fail. The array size is chosen to be equal to 32, because most SLUB caches store not more than 32 objects per slab page. Slab pages with <= 32 free objects are sorted using the array by the number of objects in use and promoted to the head of the partial list, while slab pages with > 32 free objects are left in the end of the list without any ordering imposed on them.

Now, the only reason to keep kmemcg_id till css free is list_lru, which uses it to distribute elements between per-memcg lists. However, it can be easily sorted out - we only need to change kmemcg_id of an offline cgroup to its parent's id, making further list_lru_add()'s add elements to the parent's list, and then move all elements from the offline cgroup's list to the one of its parent. It will work, because a racing list_lru_del() does not need to know the list it is deleting the element from. It can decrement the wrong nr_items counter though, but the ongoing reparenting will fix it. After list_lru reparenting is done we are free to release kmemcg_id saving a valuable slot in a per-memcg array for new cgroups. Signed-off-by:

Currently, the isolate callback passed to the list_lru_walk family of functions is supposed to just delete an item from the list upon returning LRU_REMOVED or LRU_REMOVED_RETRY, while nr_items counter is fixed by __list_lru_walk_one after the callback returns. Since the callback is allowed to drop the lock after removing an item (it has to return LRU_REMOVED_RETRY then), the nr_items can be less than the actual number of elements on the list even if we check them under the lock. This makes it difficult to move items from one list_lru_one to another, which is required for per-memcg list_lru reparenting - we can't just splice the lists, we have to move entries one by one. This patch therefore introduces helpers that must be used by callback functions to isolate items instead of raw list_del/list_move. These are list_lru_isolate and list_lru_isolate_move. They not only remove the entry from the list, but also fix the nr_items counter, making sure nr_items always reflects the actual number of elements on the list if checked under the appropriate lock.

We need to look up a kmem_cache in ->memcg_params.memcg_caches arrays only on allocations, so there is no need to have the array entries set until css free - we can clear them on css offline. This will allow us to reuse array entries more efficiently and avoid costly array relocations. Signed-off-by:

Currently, we use mem_cgroup->kmemcg_id to guarantee kmem_cache->name uniqueness. This is correct, because kmemcg_id is only released on css free after destroying all per memcg caches. However, I am going to change that and release kmemcg_id on css offline, because it is not wise to keep it for so long, wasting valuable entries of memcg_cache_params->memcg_caches arrays. Therefore, to preserve cache name uniqueness, let us switch to css->id. Signed-off-by:

Currently, we release css->id in css_release_work_fn, right before calling css_free callback, so that when css_free is called, the id may have already been reused for a new cgroup. I am going to use css->id to create unique names for per memcg kmem caches. Since kmem caches are destroyed only on css_free, I need css->id to be freed after css_free was called to avoid name clashes. This patch therefore moves css->id removal to css_free_work_fn. To prevent css_from_id from returning a pointer to a stale css, it makes css_release_work_fn replace the css ptr at css_idr:css->id with NULL. Signed-off-by:

Sometimes, we need to iterate over all memcg copies of a particular root kmem cache. Currently, we use memcg_cache_params->memcg_caches array for that, because it contains all existing memcg caches. However, it's a bad practice to keep all caches, including those that belong to offline cgroups, in this array, because it will be growing beyond any bounds then. I'm going to wipe away dead caches from it to save space. To still be able to perform iterations over all memcg caches of the same kind, let us link them into a list. Signed-off-by:

Currently, kmem_cache stores a pointer to struct memcg_cache_params instead of embedding it. The rationale is to save memory when kmem accounting is disabled. However, the memcg_cache_params has shrivelled drastically since it was first introduced: * Initially: struct memcg_cache_params { bool is_root_cache; union { struct kmem_cache *memcg_caches[0]; struct { struct mem_cgroup *memcg; struct list_head list; struct kmem_cache *root_cache; bool dead; atomic_t nr_pages; struct work_struct destroy; }; }; }; * Now: struct memcg_cache_params { bool is_root_cache; union { struct { struct rcu_head rcu_head; struct kmem_cache *memcg_caches[0]; }; struct { struct mem_cgroup *memcg; struct kmem_cache *root_cache; }; }; }; So the memory saving does not seem to be a clear win anymore. OTOH, keeping a pointer to memcg_cache_params struct instead of embedding it results in touching one more cache line on kmem alloc/free hot paths. Besides, it makes linking kmem caches in a list chained by a field of struct memcg_cache_params really painful due to a level of indirection, while I want to make them linked in the following patch. That said, let us embed it. Signed-off-by: -

In super_cache_scan() we divide the number of objects of particular type by the total number of objects in order to distribute pressure among As a result, in some corner cases we can get nr_to_scan=0 even if there are some objects to reclaim, e.g. dentries=1, inodes=1, fs_objects=1, nr_to_scan=1/3=0. This is unacceptable for per memcg kmem accounting, because this means that some objects may never get reclaimed after memcg death, preventing it from being freed. This patch therefore assures that super_cache_scan() will scan at least one object of each type if any. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: add comment] Signed-off-by:

Now, to make any list_lru-based shrinker memcg aware we should only initialize its list_lru as memcg aware. Let's do it for the general FS shrinker (super_block::s_shrink). There are other FS-specific shrinkers that use list_lru for storing objects, such as XFS and GFS2 dquot cache shrinkers, but since they reclaim objects that are shared among different cgroups, there is no point making them memcg aware. It's a big question whether we should account them to memcg at all. Signed-off-by:
