This series implements general forms of get_user_pages_fast and __get_user_pages_fast in core code and activates them for arm and arm64. These are required for Transparent HugePages to function correctly, as a futex on a THP tail will otherwise result in an infinite loop (due to the core implementation of __get_user_pages_fast always returning 0). Unfortunately, a futex on THP tail can be quite common for certain workloads; thus THP is unreliable without a __get_user_pages_fast implementation. This series may also be beneficial for direct-IO heavy workloads and certain KVM workloads. This patch (of 6): get_user_pages_fast() attempts to pin user pages by walking the page tables directly and avoids taking locks. Thus the walker needs to be protected from page table pages being freed from under it, and needs to block any THP splits. One way to achieve this is to have the walker disable interrupts, and rely on IPIs from the TLB flushing code blocking before the page table pages are freed. On some platforms we have hardware broadcast of TLB invalidations, thus the TLB flushing code doesn't necessarily need to broadcast IPIs; and spuriously broadcasting IPIs can hurt system performance if done too often. This problem has been solved on PowerPC and Sparc by batching up page table pages belonging to more than one mm_user, then scheduling an rcu_sched callback to free the pages. This RCU page table free logic has been promoted to core code and is activated when one enables HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE. Unfortunately, these architectures implement their own get_user_pages_fast routines. The RCU page table free logic coupled with an IPI broadcast on THP split (which is a rare event), allows one to protect a page table walker by merely disabling the interrupts during the walk. This patch provides a general RCU implementation of get_user_pages_fast that can be used by architectures that perform hardware broadcast of TLB invalidations. It is based heavily on the PowerPC implementation by Nick Piggin. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: various comment fixes] Signed-off-by:

By the following commits, we prevented from allocating firmware_map_entry of same memory range: f0093ede: drivers/firmware/memmap.c: don't allocate firmware_map_entry of same memory range 49c8b24d: drivers/firmware/memmap.c: pass the correct argument to firmware_map_find_entry_bootmem() But it's not enough. When PNP0C80 device is added by acpi_scan_init(), memmap sysfses of same firmware_map_entry are created twice as follows: # cat /sys/firmware/memmap/*/start 0x40000000000 0x60000000000 0x4a837000 0x4a83a000 0x4a8b5000 ... 0x40000000000 0x60000000000 ... The flows of the issues are as follows: 1. e820_reserve_resources() allocates firmware_map_entrys of all memory ranges defined in e820. And, these firmware_map_entrys are linked with map_entries list. map_entries -> entry 1 -> ... -> entry N 2. When PNP0C80 device is limited by mem= boot option, acpi_scan_init() added the memory device. In this case, firmware_map_add_hotplug() allocates firmware_map_entry and creates memmap sysfs. map_entries -> entry 1 -> ... -> entry N -> entry N+1 | memmap 1 3. firmware_memmap_init() creates memmap sysfses of firmware_map_entrys linked with map_entries. map_entries -> entry 1 -> ... -> entry N -> entry N+1 | | | memmap 2 memmap N+1 memmap 1 memmap N+2 So while hot removing the PNP0C80 device, kernel panic occurs as follows: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00000001003e000b IP: sysfs_open_file+0x46/0x2b0 PGD 203a89fe067 PUD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP ...

memcg_can_account_kmem() returns true iff !mem_cgroup_disabled() && !mem_cgroup_is_root(memcg) && memcg_kmem_is_active(memcg); To begin with the !mem_cgroup_is_root(memcg) check is useless, because one can't enable kmem accounting for the root cgroup (mem_cgroup_write() returns EINVAL on an attempt to set the limit on the root cgroup). Furthermore, the !mem_cgroup_disabled() check also seems to be redundant. The point is memcg_can_account_kmem() is called from three places: mem_cgroup_salbinfo_read(), __memcg_kmem_get_cache(), and __memcg_kmem_newpage_charge(). The latter two functions are only invoked if memcg_kmem_enabled() returns true, which implies that the memory cgroup subsystem is enabled. And mem_cgroup_slabinfo_read() shows the output of memory.kmem.slabinfo, which won't exist if the memory cgroup is completely disabled. So let's substitute all the calls to memcg_can_account_kmem() with plain memcg_kmem_is_active(), and kill the former. Signed-off-by:Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@parallels.com> Acked-by:

In a memcg with even just moderate cache pressure, success rates for transparent huge page allocations drop to zero, wasting a lot of effort that the allocator puts into assembling these pages. The reason for this is that the memcg reclaim code was never designed for higher-order charges. It reclaims in small batches until there is room for at least one page. Huge page charges only succeed when these batches add up over a series of huge faults, which is unlikely under any significant load involving order-0 allocations in the group. Remove that loop on the memcg side in favor of passing the actual reclaim goal to direct reclaim, which is already set up and optimized to meet higher-order goals efficiently. This brings memcg's THP policy in line with the system policy: if the allocator painstakingly assembles a hugepage, memcg will at least make an honest effort to charge it. As a result, transparent hugepage allocation rates amid cache activity are drastically improved: vanilla patched pgalloc 4717530.80 ( +0.00%) 4451376.40 ( -5.64%) pgfault 491370.60 ( +0.00%) 225477.40 ( -54.11%) pgmajfault 2.00 ( +0.00%) 1.80 ( -6.67%) thp_fault_alloc 0.00 ( +0.00%) 531.60 (+100.00%) thp_fault_fallback 749.00 ( +0.00%) 217.40 ( -70.88%) [ Note: this may in turn increase memory consumption from internal fragmentation, which is an inherent risk of transparent hugepages. Some setups may have to adjust the memcg limits accordingly to accomodate this - or, if the machine is already packed to capacity, disable the transparent huge page feature. ] Signed-off-by: -

When attempting to charge pages, we first charge the memory counter and then the memory+swap counter. If one of the counters is at its limit, we enter reclaim, but if it's the memory+swap counter, reclaim shouldn't swap because that wouldn't change the situation. However, if the counters have the same limits, we never get to the memory+swap limit. To know whether reclaim should swap or not, there is a state flag that indicates whether the limits are equal and whether hitting the memory limit implies hitting the memory+swap limit. Just try the memory+swap counter first. Signed-off-by:

free_pages_and_swap_cache limits release_pages to PAGEVEC_SIZE chunks. This is not a big deal for the normal release path but it completely kills memcg uncharge batching which reduces res_counter spin_lock contention. Dave has noticed this with his page fault scalability test case on a large machine when the lock was basically dominating on all CPUs: 80.18% 80.18% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock | --- _raw_spin_lock | |--66.59%-- res_counter_uncharge_until | res_counter_uncharge | uncharge_batch | uncharge_list | mem_cgroup_uncharge_list | release_pages | free_pages_and_swap_cache | tlb_flush_mmu_free | | | |--90.12%-- unmap_single_vma | | unmap_vmas | | unmap_region | | do_munmap | | vm_munmap | | sys_munmap | | system_call_fastpath | | __GI___munmap | | | --9.88%-- tlb_flush_mmu | tlb_finish_mmu | unmap_region | do_munmap | vm_munmap | sys_munmap | system_call_fastpath | __GI___munmap In his case the load was running in the root memcg and that part has been handled by reverting 05b84301 ("mm: memcontrol: use root_mem_cgroup res_counter") because this is a clear regression, but the problem remains inside dedicated memcgs. There is no reason to limit release_pages to PAGEVEC_SIZE batches other than lru_lock held times. This logic, however, can be moved inside the function. mem_cgroup_uncharge_list and free_hot_cold_page_list do not hold any lock for the whole pages_to_free list so it is safe to call them in a single run. The release_pages() code was previously breaking the lru_lock each PAGEVEC_SIZE pages (ie, 14 pages). However this code has no usage of pagevecs so switch to breaking the lock at least every SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX (32) pages. This means that the lock acquisition frequency is approximately halved and the max hold times are approximately doubled. The now unneeded batching is removed from free_pages_and_swap_cache(). Also update the grossly out-of-date release_pages documentation.

`While growing per memcg caches arrays, we jump between memcontrol.c and slab_common.c in a weird way: memcg_alloc_cache_id - memcontrol.c memcg_update_all_caches - slab_common.c memcg_update_cache_size - memcontrol.c There's absolutely no reason why memcg_update_cache_size can't live on the slab's side though. So let's move it there and settle it comfortably amid per-memcg cache allocation functions. Besides, this patch cleans this function up a bit, removing all the useless comments from it, and renames it to memcg_update_cache_params to conform to memcg_alloc/free_cache_params, which we already have in slab_common.c.

memcg_update_all_caches grows arrays of per-memcg caches, so we only need to call it when memcg_limited_groups_array_size is increased. However, currently we invoke it each time a new kmem-active memory cgroup is created. Then it just iterates over all slab_caches and does nothing (memcg_update_cache_size returns immediately). This patch fixes this insanity. In the meantime it moves the code dealing with id allocations to separate functions, memcg_alloc_cache_id and memcg_free_cache_id. Signed-off-by:

The only reason why they live in memcontrol.c is that we get/put css reference to the owner memory cgroup in them. However, we can do that in memcg_{un,}register_cache. OTOH, there are several reasons to move them to slab_common.c. First, I think that the less public interface functions we have in memcontrol.h the better. Since the functions I move don't depend on memcontrol, I think it's worth making them private to slab, especially taking into account that the arrays are defined on the slab's side too. Second, the way how per-memcg arrays are updated looks rather awkward: it proceeds from memcontrol.c (__memcg_activate_kmem) to slab_common.c (memcg_update_all_caches) and back to memcontrol.c again (memcg_update_array_size). In the following patches I move the function relocating the arrays (memcg_update_array_size) to slab_common.c and therefore get rid this circular call path. I think we should have the cache allocation stuff in the same place where we have relocation, because it's easier to follow the code then. So I move arrays alloc/free functions to slab_common.c too. The third point isn't obvious. I'm going to make the list_lru structure per-memcg to allow targeted kmem reclaim. That means we will have per-memcg arrays in list_lrus too. It turns out that it's much easier to update these arrays in list_lru.c rather than in memcontrol.c, because all the stuff we need is defined there. This patch makes memcg caches arrays allocation path conform that of the upcoming list_lru. So let's move these functions to slab_common.c and make them static. Signed-off-by: -

Zones are allocated by the page allocator in either node or zone order. Node ordering is preferred in terms of locality and is applied automatically in one of three cases: 1. If a node has only low memory 2. If DMA/DMA32 is a high percentage of memory 3. If low memory on a single node is greater than 70% of the node size Otherwise zone ordering is used to preserve low memory for devices that require it. Unfortunately a consequence of this is that applications running on a machine with balanced NUMA nodes will experience different performance characteristics depending on which node they happen to start from. The point of zone ordering is to protect lower zones for devices that require DMA/DMA32 memory. When NUMA was first introduced, this was critical as 32-bit NUMA machines existed and exhausting low memory triggered OOMs easily as so many allocations required low memory. On 64-bit machines the primary concern is devices that are 32-bit only which is less severe than the low memory exhaustion problem on 32-bit NUMA. It seems there are really few devices that depends on it. AGP -- I assume this is getting more rare but even then I think the allocations happen early in boot time where lowmem pressure is less of a problem DRM -- If the device is 32-bit only then there may be low pressure. I didn't evaluate these in detail but it looks like some of these are mobile graphics card. Not many NUMA laptops out there. DRM folk should know better though. Some TV cards -- Much demand for 32-bit capable TV cards on NUMA machines? B43 wireless card -- again not really a NUMA thing. I cannot find a good reason to incur a performance penalty on all 64-bit NUMA machines in case someone throws a brain damanged TV or graphics card in there. This patch defaults to node-ordering on 64-bit NUMA machines. I was tempted to make it default everywhere but I understand that some embedded arches may be using 32-bit NUMA where I cannot predict the consequences. The performance impact depends on the workload and the characteristics of the machine and the machine I tested on had a large Normal zone on node 0 so the impact is within the noise for the majority of tests. The allocation stats show more allocation requests were from DMA32 and local node.

In this particular case there was no difference in numa_hit and numa_miss. The expectation is that DMA32 was being used at the low watermark instead of falling into the slow path. kswapd was not woken but it's not worken for THP allocations. On 32-bit, this patch defaults to zone-ordering as low memory depletion can be a serious problem on 32-bit large memory machines. If the default ordering was node then processes on node 0 will deplete the Normal zone due to normal activity. The problem is worse if CONFIG_HIGHPTE is not set. If combined with large amounts of dirty/writeback pages in Normal zone then there is also a high risk of OOM. The heuristics are removed as it's not clear they were ever important on 32-bit. They were only relevant for setting node-ordering on 64-bit. Signed-off-by:Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Acked-by:

Since 2.6.24 there has been a paranoid check in move_freepages that looks up the zone of two pages. This is a very slow path and the only time I've seen this bug trigger recently is when memory initialisation was broken during patch development. Despite the fact it's a slow path, this patch converts the check to a VM_BUG_ON anyway as it has served its purpose by now. Signed-off-by:

The situation is as follows: 1) Receive a connect message from another node, node queues a work_struct o2net_listen_work. 2) o2net_wq processes this work and call the following functions: o2net_wq -> o2net_accept_one -> sock_create_lite -> sock_alloc() -> kmem_cache_alloc with GFP_KERNEL -> ____cache_alloc_node ->__alloc_pages_nodemask -> do_try_to_free_pages -> shrink_slab -> evict -> ocfs2_evict_inode -> ocfs2_drop_lock -> dlmunlock -> o2net_send_message_vec then o2net_wq wait for the unlock reply from master. 3) tcp layer received the reply, call o2net_data_ready() and queue sc_rx_work, waiting o2net_wq to process this work. 4) o2net_wq is a single thread workqueue, it process the work one by one. Right now it is still doing o2net_listen_work and cannot handle sc_rx_work. so we deadlock. Junxiao Bi's patch "mm: clear __GFP_FS when PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO is set" (http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-clear-__gfp_fs-when-pf_memalloc_noio-is-set.patch) clears __GFP_FS in memalloc_noio_flags() besides __GFP_IO. We use memalloc_noio_save() to set process flag PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO so that all allocations done by this process are done as if GFP_NOIO was specified. We are not reentering filesystem while doing memory reclaim.

commit 21caf2fc ("mm: teach mm by current context info to not do I/O during memory allocation") introduces PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag to avoid doing I/O inside memory allocation, __GFP_IO is cleared when this flag is set, but __GFP_FS implies __GFP_IO, it should also be cleared. Or it may still run into I/O, like in superblock shrinker. And this will make the kernel run into the deadlock case described in that commit. See Dave Chinner's comment about io in superblock shrinker: Filesystem shrinkers do indeed perform IO from the superblock shrinker and have for years. Even clean inodes can require IO before they can be freed - e.g. on an orphan list, need truncation of post-eof blocks, need to wait for ordered operations to complete before it can be freed, etc. IOWs, Ext4, btrfs and XFS all can issue and/or block on arbitrary amounts of IO in the superblock shrinker context. XFS, in particular, has been doing transactions and IO from the VFS inode cache shrinker since it was first introduced.... Fix this by clearing __GFP_FS in memalloc_noio_flags(), this function has masked all the gfp_mask that will be passed into fs for the processes setting PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO in the direct reclaim path. v1 thread at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/3/32Signed-off-by:

Page reclaim tests zone_is_reclaim_dirty(), but the site that actually sets this state does zone_set_flag(zone, ZONE_TAIL_LRU_DIRTY), sending the reader through layers indirection just to track down a simple bit. Remove all zone flag wrappers and just use bitops against zone->flags directly. It's just as readable and the lines are barely any longer. Also rename ZONE_TAIL_LRU_DIRTY to ZONE_DIRTY to match ZONE_WRITEBACK, and remove the zone_flags_t typedef. Signed-off-by:

When entering the page_alloc slowpath, we wakeup kswapd on every pgdat according to the zonelist and high_zoneidx. However, this doesn't take nodemask into account, and could prematurely wakeup kswapd on some unintended nodes. This patch uses for_each_zone_zonelist_nodemask() instead of for_each_zone_zonelist() in wake_all_kswapds() to avoid the above situation. Signed-off-by:

Oleg Nesterov authored
9e781440 "hold task->mempolicy while numa_maps scans." fixed the race with the exiting task but this is not enough. The current code assumes that get_vma_policy(task) should either see task->mempolicy == NULL or it should be equal to ->task_mempolicy saved by hold_task_mempolicy(), so we can never race with __mpol_put(). But this can only work if we can't race with do_set_mempolicy(), and thus we can't race with another do_set_mempolicy() or do_exit() after that. However, do_set_mempolicy()->down_write(mmap_sem) can not prevent this race. This task can exec, change it's ->mm, and call do_set_mempolicy() after that; in this case they take 2 different locks. Change hold_task_mempolicy() to use get_task_policy(), it never returns NULL, and change show_numa_map() to use __get_vma_policy() or fall back to proc_priv->task_mempolicy. Note: this is the minimal fix, we will cleanup this code later. I think hold_task_mempolicy() and release_task_mempolicy() should die, we can move this logic into show_numa_map(). Or we can move get_task_policy() outside of ->mmap_sem and !CONFIG_NUMA code at least. Signed-off-by:
