Userspace should always be in charge of how to online memory and if memory should be onlined automatically in the kernel. Let's drop the parameter to overwrite this - XEN passes memhp_auto_online, just like add_memory(), so we can directly use that instead internally.

In cb5e39b8 ("drivers: base: refactor add_memory_section() to add_memory_block()"), add_memory_block() is introduced, which is only invoked in memory_dev_init(). When combining these two loops in memory_dev_init() and add_memory_block(), they looks like this: for (i = 0; i < NR_MEM_SECTIONS; i += sections_per_block) for (j = i; (j < i + sections_per_block) && j < NR_MEM_SECTIONS; j++) Since it is sure the (i < NR_MEM_SECTIONS) and j sits in its own memory block, the check of (j < NR_MEM_SECTIONS) is not necessary. This patch just removes this check. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181123222811.18216-1-richard.weiyang@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

page_frag_free() calls __free_pages_ok() to free the page back to Buddy. This is OK for high order page, but for order-0 pages, it misses the optimization opportunity of using Per-Cpu-Pages and can cause zone lock contention when called frequently. Pawel Staszewski recently shared his result of 'how Linux kernel handles normal traffic'[1] and from perf data, Jesper Dangaard Brouer found the lock contention comes from page allocator: mlx5e_poll_tx_cq | --16.34%--napi_consume_skb | |--12.65%--__free_pages_ok | | | --11.86%--free_one_page | | | |--10.10%--queued_spin_lock_slowpath | | | --0.65%--_raw_spin_lock | |--1.55%--page_frag_free | --1.44%--skb_release_data Jesper explained how it happened: mlx5 driver RX-page recycle mechanism is not effective in this workload and pages have to go through the page allocator. The lock contention happens during mlx5 DMA TX completion cycle. And the page allocator cannot keep up at these speeds.[2] I thought that __free_pages_ok() are mostly freeing high order pages and thought this is an lock contention for high order pages but Jesper explained in detail that __free_pages_ok() here are actually freeing order-0 pages because mlx5 is using order-0 pages to satisfy its page pool allocation request.[3] The free path as pointed out by Jesper is: skb_free_head() -> skb_free_frag() -> page_frag_free() And the pages being freed on this path are order-0 pages. Fix this by doing similar things as in __page_frag_cache_drain() - send the being freed page to PCP if it's an order-0 page, or directly to Buddy if it is a high order page. With this change, Paweł hasn't noticed lock contention yet in his workload and Jesper has noticed a 7% performance improvement using a micro benchmark and lock contention is gone. Ilias' test on a 'low' speed 1Gbit interface on an cortex-a53 shows ~11% performance boost testing with 64byte packets and __free_pages_ok() disappeared from perf top.

At Maintainer Summit, Greg brought up a topic I proposed around EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL usage. The motivation was considerations for when EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL is warranted and the criteria for taking the exceptional step of reclassifying an existing export. Specifically, I wanted to make the case that although the line is fuzzy and hard to specify in abstract terms, it is nonetheless clear that devm_memremap_pages() and HMM (Heterogeneous Memory Management) have crossed it. The devm_memremap_pages() facility should have been EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL from the beginning, and HMM as a derivative of that functionality should have naturally picked up that designation as well. Contrary to typical rules, the HMM infrastructure was merged upstream with zero in-tree consumers. There was a promise at the time that those users would be merged "soon", but it has been over a year with no drivers arriving. While the Nouveau driver is about to belatedly make good on that promise it is clear that HMM was targeted first and foremost at an out-of-tree consumer. HMM is derived from devm_memremap_pages(), a facility Christoph and I spearheaded to support persistent memory. It combines a device lifetime model with a dynamically created 'struct page' / memmap array for any physical address range. It enables coordination and control of the many code paths in the kernel built to interact with memory via 'struct page' objects. With HMM the integration goes even deeper by allowing device drivers to hook and manipulate page fault and page free events. One interpretation of when EXPORT_SYMBOL is suitable is when it is exporting stable and generic leaf functionality. The devm_memremap_pages() facility continues to see expanding use cases, peer-to-peer DMA being the most recent, with no clear end date when it will stop attracting reworks and semantic changes. It is not suitable to export devm_memremap_pages() as a stable 3rd party driver API due to the fact that it is still changing and manipulates core behavior. Moreover, it is not in the best interest of the long term development of the core memory management subsystem to permit any external driver to effectively define its own system-wide memory management policies with no encouragement to engage with upstream. I am also concerned that HMM was designed in a way to minimize further engagement with the core-MM. That, with these hooks in place, device-drivers are free to implement their own policies without much consideration for whether and how the core-MM could grow to meet that need. Going forward not only should HMM be EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, but the core-MM should be allowed the opportunity and stimulus to change and address these new use cases as first class functionality. Original changelog: hmm_devmem_add(), and hmm_devmem_add_resource() duplicated devm_memremap_pages() and are now simple now wrappers around the core facility to inject a dev_pagemap instance into the global pgmap_radix and hook page-idle events. The devm_memremap_pages() interface is base infrastructure for HMM. HMM has more and deeper ties into the kernel memory management implementation than base ZONE_DEVICE which is itself a EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL facility. Originally, the HMM page structure creation routines copied the devm_memremap_pages() code and reused ZONE_DEVICE. A cleanup to unify the implementations was discussed during the initial review: http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1701.2/00812.html Recent work to extend devm_memremap_pages() for the peer-to-peer-DMA facility enabled this cleanup to move forward. In addition to the integration with devm_memremap_pages() HMM depends on other GPL-only symbols: mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release percpu_ref region_intersects __class_create It goes further to consume / indirectly expose functionality that is not exported to any other driver: alloc_pages_vma walk_page_range HMM is derived from devm_memremap_pages(), and extends deep core-kernel fundamentals. Similar to devm_memremap_pages(), mark its entry points EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().

Commit e8d51348 ("memremap: change devm_memremap_pages interface to use struct dev_pagemap") refactored devm_memremap_pages() to allow a dev_pagemap instance to be supplied. Passing in a dev_pagemap interface simplifies the design of pgmap type drivers in that they can rely on container_of() to lookup any private data associated with the given dev_pagemap instance. In addition to the cleanups this also gives hmm users multi-order-radix improvements that arrived with commit ab1b597e "mm, devm_memremap_pages: use multi-order radix for ZONE_DEVICE lookups" As part of the conversion to the devm_memremap_pages() method of handling the percpu_ref relative to when pages are put, the percpu_ref completion needs to move to hmm_devmem_ref_exit(). See 71389703 ("mm, zone_device: Replace {get, put}_zone_device_page...") for details.

devm semantics arrange for resources to be torn down when device-driver-probe fails or when device-driver-release completes. Similar to devm_memremap_pages() there is no need to support an explicit remove operation when the users properly adhere to devm semantics. Note that devm_kzalloc() automatically handles allocating node-local memory.

The last step before devm_memremap_pages() returns success is to allocate a release action, devm_memremap_pages_release(), to tear the entire setup down. However, the result from devm_add_action() is not checked. Checking the error from devm_add_action() is not enough. The api currently relies on the fact that the percpu_ref it is using is killed by the time the devm_memremap_pages_release() is run. Rather than continue this awkward situation, offload the responsibility of killing the percpu_ref to devm_memremap_pages_release() directly. This allows devm_memremap_pages() to do the right thing relative to init failures and shutdown. Without this change we could fail to register the teardown of devm_memremap_pages(). The likelihood of hitting this failure is tiny as small memory allocations almost always succeed. However, the impact of the failure is large given any future reconfiguration, or disable/enable, of an nvdimm namespace will fail forever as subsequent calls to devm_memremap_pages() will fail to setup the pgmap_radix since there will be stale entries for the physical address range. An argument could be made to require that the ->kill() operation be set in the @pgmap arg rather than passed in separately. However, it helps code readability, tracking the lifetime of a given instance, to be able to grep the kill routine directly at the devm_memremap_pages() call site.

Given the fact that devm_memremap_pages() requires a percpu_ref that is torn down by devm_memremap_pages_release() the current support for mapping RAM is broken. Support for remapping "System RAM" has been broken since the beginning and there is no existing user of this this code path, so just kill the support and make it an explicit error. This cleanup also simplifies a follow-on patch to fix the error path when setting a devm release action for devm_memremap_pages_release() fails.

devm_memremap_pages() is a facility that can create struct page entries for any arbitrary range and give drivers the ability to subvert core aspects of page management. Specifically the facility is tightly integrated with the kernel's memory hotplug functionality. It injects an altmap argument deep into the architecture specific vmemmap implementation to allow allocating from specific reserved pages, and it has Linux specific assumptions about page structure reference counting relative to get_user_pages() and get_user_pages_fast(). It was an oversight and a mistake that this was not marked EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL from the outset. Again, devm_memremap_pagex() exposes and relies upon core kernel internal assumptions and will continue to evolve along with 'struct page', memory hotplug, and support for new memory types / topologies. Only an in-kernel GPL-only driver is expected to keep up with this ongoing evolution. This interface, and functionality derived from this interface, is not suitable for kernel-external drivers.

Reference counters should use refcount_t rather than atomic_t, since the refcount_t implementation can prevent overflows, reducing the exploitability of reference leak bugs. userfaultfd_ctx::refcount is a reference counter with the usual semantics, so convert it to refcount_t. Note: I replaced the BUG() on incrementing a 0 refcount with just refcount_inc(), since part of the semantics of refcount_t is that that incrementing a 0 refcount is not allowed; with CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL, refcount_inc() already checks for it and warns.

Since a2468cc9 ("swap: choose swap device according to numa node"), avail_lists field of swap_info_struct is changed to an array with MAX_NUMNODES elements. This made swap_info_struct size increased to 40KiB and needs an order-4 page to hold it. This is not optimal in that: 1 Most systems have way less than MAX_NUMNODES(1024) nodes so it is a waste of memory; 2 It could cause swapon failure if the swap device is swapped on after system has been running for a while, due to no order-4 page is available as pointed out by Vasily Averin. Solve the above two issues by using nr_node_ids(which is the actual possible node number the running system has) for avail_lists instead of MAX_NUMNODES. nr_node_ids is unknown at compile time so can't be directly used when declaring this array. What I did here is to declare avail_lists as zero element array and allocate space for it when allocating space for swap_info_struct. The reason why keep using array but not pointer is plist_for_each_entry needs the field to be part of the struct, so pointer will not work. This patch is on top of Vasily Averin's fix commit. I think the use of kvzalloc for swap_info_struct is still needed in case nr_node_ids is really big on some systems. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181115083847.GA11129@intel.comSigned-off-by:

Commit fa5e084e ("vmscan: do not unconditionally treat zones that fail zone_reclaim() as full") changed the return value of node_reclaim(). The original return value 0 means NODE_RECLAIM_SOME after this commit. While the return value of node_reclaim() when CONFIG_NUMA is n is not changed. This will leads to call zone_watermark_ok() again. This patch fixes the return value by adjusting to NODE_RECLAIM_NOSCAN. Since node_reclaim() is only called in page_alloc.c, move it to mm/internal.h. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181113080436.22078-1-richard.weiyang@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

Per-cpu numa_node provides a default node for each possible cpu. The association gets initialized during the boot when the architecture specific code explores cpu->NUMA affinity. When the whole NUMA node is removed though we are clearing this association try_offline_node check_and_unmap_cpu_on_node unmap_cpu_on_node numa_clear_node numa_set_node(cpu, NUMA_NO_NODE) This means that whoever calls cpu_to_node for a cpu associated with such a node will get NUMA_NO_NODE. This is problematic for two reasons. First it is fragile because __alloc_pages_node would simply blow up on an out-of-bound access.

It is also reasonable to expect that cpu_to_node will provide a sane value and there might be many more callers like that. The second problem is that __register_one_node relies on cpu_to_node to properly associate cpus back to the node when it is onlined. We do not want to lose that link as there is no arch independent way to get it from the early boot time AFAICS. Drop the whole check_and_unmap_cpu_on_node machinery and keep the association to fix both issues. The NODE_DATA(nid) is not deallocated so it will stay in place and if anybody wants to allocate from that node then a fallback node will be used.

We should get rid of this function. It no longer serves its purpose. This is a historical artifact from 2005 where do_brk was called outside of the core mm. We do have a proper abstraction in vm_brk_flags and that one does the locking properly so there is no need to use this function.

Patch series "Currently used jhash are slow enough and replace it allow as to make KSM", v8. Apeed (in kernel): ksm: crc32c hash() 12081 MB/s ksm: xxh64 hash() 8770 MB/s ksm: xxh32 hash() 4529 MB/s ksm: jhash2 hash() 1569 MB/s Sioh Lee's testing (copy from other mail): Test platform: openstack cloud platform (NEWTON version) Experiment node: openstack based cloud compute node (CPU: xeon E5-2620 v3, memory 64gb) VM: (2 VCPU, RAM 4GB, DISK 20GB) * 4 Linux kernel: 4.14 (latest version) KSM setup - sleep_millisecs: 200ms, pages_to_scan: 200 Experiment process: Firstly, we turn off KSM and launch 4 VMs. Then we turn on the KSM and measure the checksum computation time until full_scans become two. The experimental results (the experimental value is the average of the measured values) crc32c_intel: 1084.10ns crc32c (no hardware acceleration): 7012.51ns xxhash32: 2227.75ns xxhash64: 1413.16ns jhash2: 5128.30ns In summary, the result shows that crc32c_intel has advantages over all of the hash function used in the experiment. (decreased by 84.54% compared to crc32c, 78.86% compared to jhash2, 51.33% xxhash32, 23.28% compared to xxhash64) the results are similar to those of Timofey. But, use only xxhash for now, because for using crc32c, cryptoapi must be initialized first - that require some tricky solution to work good in all situations. So: - First patch implement compile time pickup of fastest implementation of xxhash for target platform. - The second patch replaces jhash2 with xxhash This patch (of 2): xxh32() - fast on both 32/64-bit platforms xxh64() - fast only on 64-bit platform Create xxhash() which will pick up the fastest version at compile time.

The original idea behind dumping the page state for all call paths was that these messages will be helpful debugging failures. From the above it seems that this is not the case for the CMA path because we are lacking much more context. E.g the second reported page might be a CMA allocated page. It is still interesting to see a slab page in the CMA area but it is hard to tell whether this is bug from the above output alone. Address this issue by dumping the page state only on request. Both start_isolate_page_range and has_unmovable_pages already have an argument to ignore hwpoison pages so make this argument more generic and turn it into flags and allow callers to combine non-default modes into a mask. While we are at it, has_unmovable_pages call from is_pageblock_removable_nolock (sysfs removable file) is questionable to report the failure so drop it from there as well.

There is only very limited information printed when the memory offlining fails: [ 1984.506184] rac1 kernel: memory offlining [mem 0x82600000000-0x8267fffffff] failed due to signal backoff This tells us that the failure is triggered by the userspace intervention but it doesn't tell us much more about the underlying reason. It might be that the page migration failes repeatedly and the userspace timeout expires and send a signal or it might be some of the earlier steps (isolation, memory notifier) takes too long. If the migration failes then it would be really helpful to see which page that and its state. The same applies to the isolation phase. If we fail to isolate a page from the allocator then knowing the state of the page would be helpful as well. Dump the page state that fails to get isolated or migrated. This will tell us more about the failure and what to focus on during debugging.

The memory offlining failure reporting is inconsistent and insufficient. Some error paths simply do not report the failure to the log at all. When we do report there are no details about the reason of the failure and there are several of them which makes memory offlining failures hard to debug. Make sure that the memory offlining [mem %#010llx-%#010llx] failed message is printed for all failures and also provide a short textual reason for the failure e.g. [ 1984.506184] rac1 kernel: memory offlining [mem 0x82600000000-0x8267fffffff] failed due to signal backoff this tells us that the offlining has failed because of a signal pending aka user intervention.

__dump_page messages use KERN_EMERG resp. KERN_ALERT loglevel (this is the case since 2004). Most callers of this function are really detecting a critical page state and BUG right after. On the other hand the function is called also from contexts which just want to inform about the page state and those would rather not disrupt logs that much (e.g. some systems route these messages to the normal console). Reduce the loglevel to KERN_WARNING to make dump_page easier to reuse for other contexts while those messages will still make it to the kernel log in most setups. Even if the loglevel setup filters warnings away those paths that are really critical already print the more targeted error or panic and that should make it to the kernel log.

I have been promissing to improve memory offlining failures debugging for quite some time. As things stand now we get only very limited information in the kernel log when the offlining fails. It is usually only [ 1984.506184] rac1 kernel: memory offlining [mem 0x82600000000-0x8267fffffff] failed with no further details. We do not know what exactly fails and for what reason. Whenever I was forced to debug such a failure I've always had to do a debugging patch to tell me more. We can enable some tracepoints but it would be much better to get a better picture without using them. This patch series does 2 things. The first one is to make dump_page more usable by printing more information about the mapping patch 1. Then it reduces the log level from emerg to warning so that this function is usable from less critical context patch 2. Then I have added more detailed information about the offlining failure patch 4 and finally add dump_page to isolation and offlining migration paths. Patch 3 is a trivial cleanup. This patch (of 6): __dump_page prints the mapping pointer but that is quite unhelpful for many reports because the pointer itself only helps to distinguish anon/ksm mappings from other ones (because of lowest bits set). Sometimes it would be much more helpful to know what kind of mapping that is actually and if we know this is a file mapping then also try to resolve the dentry name.

Contrary to its name, mmu_notifier_synchronize() does not synchronize the notifier's SRCU instance, but rather waits for RCU callbacks to finish. i.e. it invokes rcu_barrier(). The RCU documentation is quite clear on this matter, explicitly calling out that rcu_barrier() does not imply synchronize_rcu(). As there are no callers of mmu_notifier_synchronize() and it's unclear whether any user of mmu_notifier_call_srcu() will ever want to barrier on their callbacks, simply remove the function.

Multiple people have reported the following sparse warning: ./include/linux/slab.h:332:43: warning: dubious: x & !y The minimal fix would be to change the logical & to boolean &&, which emits the same code, but Andrew has suggested that the branch-avoiding tricks are maybe not worthwile. David Laight provided a nice comparison of disassembly of multiple variants, which shows that the current version produces a 4 deep dependency chain, and fixing the sparse warning by changing logical and to multiplication emits an IMUL, making it even more expensive. The code as rewritten by this patch yielded the best disassembly, with a single predictable branch for the most common case, and a ternary operator for the rest, which gcc seems to compile without a branch or cmov by itself. The result should be more readable, without a sparse warning and probably also faster for the common case.
