      oom: oom_kill_process() doesn't select kthread child · 2c5ea53c
      KOSAKI Motohiro authored
      Presently select_bad_process() has a PF_KTHREAD check, but
      oom_kill_process doesn't.  It mean oom_kill_process() may choose wrong
      task, especially, when the child are using use_mm().

      oom: don't try to kill oom_unkillable child · 7c59aec8
      KOSAKI Motohiro authored
      Presently, badness() doesn't care about either CPUSET nor mempolicy.  Then
      if the victim child process have disjoint nodemask, OOM Killer might kill
      innocent process.
      
      This patch fixes it.

      vmscan: update isolated page counters outside of main path in shrink_inactive_list() · 1489fa14
      Mel Gorman authored
      When shrink_inactive_list() isolates pages, it updates a number of
      counters using temporary variables to gather them.  These consume stack
      and it's in the main path that calls ->writepage().  This patch moves the
      accounting updates outside of the main path to reduce stack usage.

      vmscan: set up pagevec as late as possible in shrink_page_list() · abe4c3b5
      Mel Gorman authored
      shrink_page_list() sets up a pagevec to release pages as according as they
      are free.  It uses significant amounts of stack on the pagevec.  This
      patch adds pages to be freed via pagevec to a linked list which is then
      freed en-masse at the end.  This avoids using stack in the main path that
      potentially calls writepage().

      shrink_inactive_list() to take the stack usage out of the main path so
      that callers to writepage() do not contain an unused pagevec on the stack.

      Now, max_scan of shrink_inactive_list() is always passed less than
      SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX.  then, we can remove scanning pages loop in it.  This
      patch also help stack diet.
      
      detail
       - remove "while (nr_scanned < max_scan)" loop
       - remove nr_freed (now, we use nr_reclaimed directly)
       - remove nr_scan (now, we use nr_scanned directly)
       - rename max_scan to nr_to_scan
       - pass nr_to_scan into isolate_pages() directly instead
         using SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX

      vmscan: kill prev_priority completely · 25edde03
      KOSAKI Motohiro authored
      Since 2.6.28 zone->prev_priority is unused. Then it can be removed
      safely. It reduce stack usage slightly.
      
      Now I have to say that I'm sorry. 2 years ago, I thought prev_priority
      can be integrate again, it's useful. but four (or more) times trying
      haven't got good performance number. Thus I give up such approach.
      
      The rest of this changelog is notes on prev_priority and why it existed in
      the first place and why it might be not necessary any more. This information
      is based heavily on discussions between Andrew Morton, Rik van Riel and
      Kosaki Motohiro who is heavily quotes from.
      
      Historically prev_priority was important because it determined when the VM
      would start unmapping PTE pages. i.e. there are no balances of note within
      the VM, Anon vs File and Mapped vs Unmapped. Without prev_priority, there
      is a potential risk of unnecessarily increasing minor faults as a large
      amount of read activity of use-once pages could push mapped pages to the
      end of the LRU and get unmapped.
      
      There is no proof this is still a problem but currently it is not considered
      to be. Active files are not deactivated if the active file list is smaller
      than the inactive list reducing the liklihood that file-mapped pages are
      being pushed off the LRU and referenced executable pages are kept on the
      active list to avoid them getting pushed out by read activity.
      
      Even if it is a problem, prev_priority prev_priority wouldn't works
      nowadays. First of all, current vmscan still a lot of UP centric code. it
      expose some weakness on some dozens CPUs machine. I think we need more and
      more improvement.
      
      The problem is, current vmscan mix up per-system-pressure, per-zone-pressure
      and per-task-pressure a bit. example, prev_priority try to boost priority to
      other concurrent priority. but if the another task have mempolicy restriction,
      it is unnecessary, but also makes wrong big latency and exceeding reclaim.
      per-task based priority + prev_priority adjustment make the emulation of
      per-system pressure. but it have two issue 1) too rough and brutal emulation
      2) we need per-zone pressure, not per-system.
      
      Another example, currently DEF_PRIORITY is 12. it mean the lru rotate about
      2 cycle (1/4096 + 1/2048 + 1/1024 + .. + 1) before invoking OOM-Killer.
      but if 10,0000 thrreads enter DEF_PRIORITY reclaim at the same time, the
      system have higher memory pressure than priority==0 (1/4096*10,000 > 2).
      prev_priority can't solve such multithreads workload issue. In other word,
      prev_priority concept assume the sysmtem don't have lots threads."

      Mel Gorman authored
      Add a trace event for when page reclaim queues a page for IO and records
      whether it is synchronous or asynchronous.  Excessive synchronous IO for a
      process can result in noticeable stalls during direct reclaim.  Excessive
      IO from page reclaim may indicate that the system is seriously under
      provisioned for the amount of dirty pages that exist.

      vmscan: tracing: add trace events for kswapd wakeup, sleeping and direct reclaim · 33906bc5
      Mel Gorman authored
      Add two trace events for kswapd waking up and going asleep for the
      purposes of tracking kswapd activity and two trace events for direct
      reclaim beginning and ending.  The information can be used to work out how
      much time a process or the system is spending on the reclamation of pages
      and in the case of direct reclaim, how many pages were reclaimed for that
      process.  High frequency triggering of these events could point to memory
      pressure problems.

      mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging · f446daae
      Jan Kara authored
      We try to avoid livelocks of writeback when some steadily creates dirty
      pages in a mapping we are writing out.  For memory-cleaning writeback,
      using nr_to_write works reasonably well but we cannot really use it for
      data integrity writeback.  This patch tries to solve the problem.
      
      The idea is simple: Tag all pages that should be written back with a
      special tag (TOWRITE) in the radix tree.  This can be done rather quickly
      and thus livelocks should not happen in practice.  Then we start doing the
      hard work of locking pages and sending them to disk only for those pages
      that have TOWRITE tag set.
      
      Note: Adding new radix tree tag grows radix tree node from 288 to 296
      bytes for 32-bit archs and from 552 to 560 bytes for 64-bit archs.
      However, the number of slab/slub items per page remains the same (13 and 7
      respectively).

      rmap: always use anon_vma root pointer · 288468c3
      Andrea Arcangeli authored
      Always use anon_vma->root pointer instead of anon_vma_chain.prev.
      
      Also optimize the map-paths, if a mapping is already established no need
      to overwrite it with root anon-vma list, we can keep the more finegrined
      anon-vma and skip the overwrite: see the PageAnon check in !exclusive
      case.  This is also the optimization that hidden the ksm bug as this tends
      to make ksm_might_need_to_copy skip the copy, but only the proper fix to
      ksm_might_need_to_copy guarantees not triggering the ksm bug unless ksm is
      in use.  this is an optimization only...

      ksm: fix ksm swapin time optimization · ba6f0ff3
      Andrea Arcangeli authored
      The new anon-vma code, was suboptimal and it lead to erratic invocation of
      ksm_does_need_to_copy.  That leads to host hangs or guest vnc lockup, or
      weird behavior.  It's unclear why ksm_does_need_to_copy is unstable but
      the point is that when KSM is not in use, ksm_does_need_to_copy must never
      run or we bounce pages for no good reason.  I suspect the same hangs will
      happen with KVM swaps.  But this at least fixes the regression in the
      new-anon-vma code and it only let KSM bugs triggers when KSM is in use.
      
      The code in do_swap_page likely doesn't cope well with a not-swapcache,
      especially the memcg code.

      shmem: reduce pagefault lock contention · ff36b801
      Shaohua Li authored
      I'm running a shmem pagefault test case (see attached file) under a 64 CPU
      system.  Profile shows shmem_inode_info->lock is heavily contented and
      100% CPUs time are trying to get the lock.  In the pagefault (no swap)
      case, shmem_getpage gets the lock twice, the last one is avoidable if we
      prealloc a page so we could reduce one time of locking.  This is what
      below patch does.
      
      The result of the test case:
      2.6.35-rc3: ~20s
      2.6.35-rc3 + patch: ~12s
      so this is 40% improvement.
      
      One might argue if we could have better locking for shmem.  But even shmem
      is lockless, the pagefault will soon have pagecache lock heavily contented
      because shmem must add new page to pagecache.  So before we have better
      locking for pagecache, improving shmem locking doesn't have too much
      improvement.  I did a similar pagefault test against a ramfs file, the
      test result is ~10.5s.

      tmpfs: make tmpfs scalable with percpu_counter for used blocks · 7e496299
      Tim Chen authored
      The current implementation of tmpfs is not scalable.  We found that
      stat_lock is contended by multiple threads when we need to get a new page,
      leading to useless spinning inside this spin lock.
      
      This patch makes use of the percpu_counter library to maintain local count
      of used blocks to speed up getting and returning of pages.  So the
      acquisition of stat_lock is unnecessary for getting and returning blocks,
      improving the performance of tmpfs on system with large number of cpus.
      On a 4 socket 32 core NHM-EX system, we saw improvement of 270%.
      
      The implementation below has a slight chance of race between threads
      causing a slight overshoot of the maximum configured blocks.  However, any
      overshoot is small, and is bounded by the number of cpus.  This happens
      when the number of used blocks is slightly below the maximum configured
      blocks when a thread checks the used block count, and another thread
      allocates the last block before the current thread does.  This should not
      be a problem for tmpfs, as the overshoot is most likely to be a few blocks
      and bounded.  If a strict limit is really desired, then configured the max
      blocks to be the limit less the number of cpus in system.

      tmpfs: add accurate compare function to percpu_counter library · 27f5e0f6
      Tim Chen authored
      Add percpu_counter_compare that allows for a quick but accurate comparison
      of percpu_counter with a given value.
      
      A rough count is provided by the count field in percpu_counter structure,
      without accounting for the other values stored in individual cpu counters.
      
      The actual count is a sum of count and the cpu counters.  However, count
      field is never different from the actual value by a factor of
      batch*num_online_cpu.  We do not need to get actual count for comparison
      if count is different from the given value by this factor and allows for
      quick comparison without summing up all the per cpu counters.

      oom: remove special handling for pagefault ooms · e3658932
      David Rientjes authored
      It is possible to remove the special pagefault oom handler by simply oom
      locking all system zones and then calling directly into out_of_memory().
      
      All populated zones must have ZONE_OOM_LOCKED set, otherwise there is a
      parallel oom killing in progress that will lead to eventual memory freeing
      so it's not necessary to needlessly kill another task.  The context in
      which the pagefault is allocating memory is unknown to the oom killer, so
      this is done on a system-wide level.
      
      If a task has already been oom killed and hasn't fully exited yet, this
      will be a no-op since select_bad_process() recognizes tasks across the
      system with TIF_MEMDIE set.

      oom: avoid oom killer for lowmem allocations · 03668b3c
      David Rientjes authored
      If memory has been depleted in lowmem zones even with the protection
      afforded to it by /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio, it is unlikely that
      killing current users will help.  The memory is either reclaimable (or
      migratable) already, in which case we should not invoke the oom killer at
      all, or it is pinned by an application for I/O.  Killing such an
      application may leave the hardware in an unspecified state and there is no
      guarantee that it will be able to make a timely exit.
      
      Lowmem allocations are now failed in oom conditions when __GFP_NOFAIL is
      not used so that the task can perhaps recover or try again later.
      
      Previously, the heuristic provided some protection for those tasks with
      CAP_SYS_RAWIO, but this is no longer necessary since we will not be
      killing tasks for the purposes of ISA allocations.
      
      high_zoneidx is gfp_zone(gfp_flags), meaning that ZONE_NORMAL will be the
      default for all allocations that are not __GFP_DMA, __GFP_DMA32,
      __GFP_HIGHMEM, and __GFP_MOVABLE on kernels configured to support those
      flags.  Testing for high_zoneidx being less than ZONE_NORMAL will only
      return true for allocations that have either __GFP_DMA or __GFP_DMA32.
