`notify_free' device attribute accounts the number of slot free notifications and internally represents the number of zram_free_page() calls. Slot free notifications are sent only when device is used as a swap device, hence `notify_free' is used only for swap devices. Since f4659d8e (zram: support REQ_DISCARD) ZRAM handles yet another one free notification (also via zram_free_page() call) -- REQ_DISCARD requests, which are sent by a filesystem, whenever some data blocks are discarded. However, there is no way to know the number of notifications in the latter case. Use `notify_free' to account the number of pages freed by zram_bio_discard() and zram_slot_free_notify(). Depending on usage scenario `notify_free' represents: a) the number of pages freed because of slot free notifications, which is equal to the number of swap_slot_free_notify() calls, so there is no behaviour change b) the number of pages freed because of REQ_DISCARD notifications Signed-off-by:

Normally, zram user could get maximum memory usage zram consumed via polling mem_used_total with sysfs in userspace. But it has a critical problem because user can miss peak memory usage during update inverval of polling. For avoiding that, user should poll it with shorter interval(ie, 0.0000000001s) with mlocking to avoid page fault delay when memory pressure is heavy. It would be troublesome. This patch adds new knob "mem_used_max" so user could see the maximum memory usage easily via reading the knob and reset it via "echo 0 > /sys/block/zram0/mem_used_max". Signed-off-by:

Since zram has no control feature to limit memory usage, it makes hard to manage system memrory. This patch adds new knob "mem_limit" via sysfs to set up the a limit so that zram could fail allocation once it reaches the limit. In addition, user could change the limit in runtime so that he could manage the memory more dynamically. Initial state is no limit so it doesn't break old behavior.

zs_get_total_size_bytes returns a amount of memory zsmalloc consumed with *byte unit* but zsmalloc operates *page unit* rather than byte unit so let's change the API so benefit we could get is that reduce unnecessary overhead (ie, change page unit with byte unit) in zsmalloc. Since return type is pages, "zs_get_total_pages" is better than "zs_get_total_size_bytes". Signed-off-by:

Currently, zram has no feature to limit memory so theoretically zram can deplete system memory. Users have asked for a limit several times as even without exhaustion zram makes it hard to control memory usage of the platform. This patchset adds the feature. Patch 1 makes zs_get_total_size_bytes faster because it would be used frequently in later patches for the new feature. Patch 2 changes zs_get_total_size_bytes's return unit from bytes to page so that zsmalloc doesn't need unnecessary operation(ie, << PAGE_SHIFT). Patch 3 adds new feature. I added the feature into zram layer, not zsmalloc because limiation is zram's requirement, not zsmalloc so any other user using zsmalloc(ie, zpool) shouldn't affected by unnecessary branch of zsmalloc. In future, if every users of zsmalloc want the feature, then, we could move the feature from client side to zsmalloc easily but vice versa would be painful. Patch 4 adds news facility to report maximum memory usage of zram so that this avoids user polling frequently via /sys/block/zram0/ mem_used_total and ensures transient max are not missed. This patch (of 4): pages_allocated has counted in size_class structure and when user of zsmalloc want to see total_size_bytes, it should gather all of count from each size_class to report the sum. It's not bad if user don't see the value often but if user start to see the value frequently, it would be not a good deal for performance pov. This patch moves the count from size_class to zs_pool so it could reduce memory footprint (from [255 * 8byte] to [sizeof(atomic_long_t)]). Signed-off-by:

Performing vma lookups without taking the mm->mmap_sem is asking for trouble. While doing the search, the vma in question can be modified or even removed before returning to the caller. Take the lock (shared) in order to avoid races while iterating through the vmacache and/or rbtree. In addition, this guarantees that the address space will remain intact during the CPU flushing.

vmstat workers are used for folding counter differentials into the zone, per node and global counters at certain time intervals. They currently run at defined intervals on all processors which will cause some holdoff for processors that need minimal intrusion by the OS. The current vmstat_update mechanism depends on a deferrable timer firing every other second by default which registers a work queue item that runs on the local CPU, with the result that we have 1 interrupt and one additional schedulable task on each CPU every 2 seconds If a workload indeed causes VM activity or multiple tasks are running on a CPU, then there are probably bigger issues to deal with. However, some workloads dedicate a CPU for a single CPU bound task. This is done in high performance computing, in high frequency financial applications, in networking (Intel DPDK, EZchip NPS) and with the advent of systems with more and more CPUs over time, this may become more and more common to do since when one has enough CPUs one cares less about efficiently sharing a CPU with other tasks and more about efficiently monopolizing a CPU per task. The difference of having this timer firing and workqueue kernel thread scheduled per second can be enormous. An artificial test measuring the worst case time to do a simple "i++" in an endless loop on a bare metal system and under Linux on an isolated CPU with dynticks and with and without this patch, have Linux match the bare metal performance (~700 cycles) with this patch and loose by couple of orders of magnitude (~200k cycles) without it[*]. The loss occurs for something that just calculates statistics. For networking applications, for example, this could be the difference between dropping packets or sustaining line rate. Statistics are important and useful, but it would be great if there would be a way to not cause statistics gathering produce a huge performance difference. This patche does just that. This patch creates a vmstat shepherd worker that monitors the per cpu differentials on all processors. If there are differentials on a processor then a vmstat worker local to the processors with the differentials is created. That worker will then start folding the diffs in regular intervals. Should the worker find that there is no work to be done then it will make the shepherd worker monitor the differentials again. With this patch it is possible then to have periods longer than 2 seconds without any OS event on a "cpu" (hardware thread). The patch shows a very minor increased in system performance. hackbench -s 512 -l 2000 -g 15 -f 25 -P Results before the patch: Running in process mode with 15 groups using 50 file descriptors each (== 750 tasks) Each sender will pass 2000 messages of 512 bytes Time: 4.992 Running in process mode with 15 groups using 50 file descriptors each (== 750 tasks) Each sender will pass 2000 messages of 512 bytes Time: 4.971 Running in process mode with 15 groups using 50 file descriptors each (== 750 tasks) Each sender will pass 2000 messages of 512 bytes Time: 5.063 Hackbench after the patch: Running in process mode with 15 groups using 50 file descriptors each (== 750 tasks) Each sender will pass 2000 messages of 512 bytes Time: 4.973 Running in process mode with 15 groups using 50 file descriptors each (== 750 tasks) Each sender will pass 2000 messages of 512 bytes Time: 4.990 Running in process mode with 15 groups using 50 file descriptors each (== 750 tasks) Each sender will pass 2000 messages of 512 bytes Time: 4.993 [fengguang.wu@intel.com: cpu_stat_off can be static] Signed-off-by:

Increase the buffer-head per-CPU LRU size to allow efficient filesystem operations that access many blocks for each transaction. For example, creating a file in a large ext4 directory with quota enabled will access multiple buffer heads and will overflow the LRU at the default 8-block LRU size: * parent directory inode table block (ctime, nlinks for subdirs) * new inode bitmap * inode table block * 2 quota blocks * directory leaf block (not reused, but pollutes one cache entry) * 2 levels htree blocks (only one is reused, other pollutes cache) * 2 levels indirect/index blocks (only one is reused) The buffer-head per-CPU LRU size is raised to 16, as it shows in metadata performance benchmarks up to 10% gain for create, 4% for lookup and 7% for destroy.

Always mark pages with PageBalloon even if balloon compaction is disabled and expose this mark in /proc/kpageflags as KPF_BALLOON. Also this patch adds three counters into /proc/vmstat: "balloon_inflate", "balloon_deflate" and "balloon_migrate". They accumulate balloon activity. Current size of balloon is (balloon_inflate - balloon_deflate) pages. All generic balloon code now gathered under option CONFIG_MEMORY_BALLOON. It should be selected by ballooning driver which wants use this feature. Currently virtio-balloon is the only user. Signed-off-by:

Sasha Levin reported KASAN splash inside isolate_migratepages_range(). Problem is in the function __is_movable_balloon_page() which tests AS_BALLOON_MAP in page->mapping->flags. This function has no protection against anonymous pages. As result it tried to check address space flags inside struct anon_vma. Further investigation shows more problems in current implementation: * Special branch in __unmap_and_move() never works: balloon_page_movable() checks page flags and page_count. In __unmap_and_move() page is locked, reference counter is elevated, thus balloon_page_movable() always fails. As a result execution goes to the normal migration path. virtballoon_migratepage() returns MIGRATEPAGE_BALLOON_SUCCESS instead of MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS, move_to_new_page() thinks this is an error code and assigns newpage->mapping to NULL. Newly migrated page lose connectivity with balloon an all ability for further migration. * lru_lock erroneously required in isolate_migratepages_range() for isolation ballooned page. This function releases lru_lock periodically, this makes migration mostly impossible for some pages. * balloon_page_dequeue have a tight race with balloon_page_isolate: balloon_page_isolate could be executed in parallel with dequeue between picking page from list and locking page_lock. Race is rare because they use trylock_page() for locking. This patch fixes all of them. Instead of fake mapping with special flag this patch uses special state of page->_mapcount: PAGE_BALLOON_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -256. Buddy allocator uses PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -128 for similar purpose. Storing mark directly in struct page makes everything safer and easier. PagePrivate is used to mark pages present in page list (i.e. not isolated, like PageLRU for normal pages). It replaces special rules for reference counter and makes balloon migration similar to migration of normal pages. This flag is protected by page_lock together with link to the balloon device.

We need a mechanism to tag ptes as being special, this indicates that no attempt should be made to access the underlying struct page * associated with the pte. This is used by the fast_gup when operating on ptes as it has no means to access VMAs (that also contain this information) locklessly. The L_PTE_SPECIAL bit is already allocated for LPAE, this patch modifies pte_special and pte_mkspecial to make use of it, and defines __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL. This patch also excludes special ptes from the icache/dcache sync logic. Signed-off-by:

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:

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:

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.

The newly added pools_reg_lock ensures that there is no race of create vs destroy code path in terms whether or not the sysfs file has to be deleted (and was it deleted before we try to create a new one) and what to do if device_create_file() failed.

`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: -

If a /proc/pid/pagemap read spans a [VMA, an unmapped region, then a VM_SOFTDIRTY VMA], the virtual pages in the unmapped region are reported as softdirty. Here's a program to demonstrate the bug: int main() { const uint64_t PAGEMAP_SOFTDIRTY = 1ul << 55; uint64_t pme[3]; int fd = open("/proc/self/pagemap", O_RDONLY);; char *m = mmap(NULL, 3 * getpagesize(), PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0); munmap(m + getpagesize(), getpagesize()); pread(fd, pme, 24, (unsigned long) m / getpagesize() * 8); assert(pme[0] & PAGEMAP_SOFTDIRTY); /* passes */ assert(!(pme[1] & PAGEMAP_SOFTDIRTY)); /* fails */ assert(pme[2] & PAGEMAP_SOFTDIRTY); /* passes */ return 0; } (Note that all pages in new VMAs are softdirty until cleared). Tested: Used the program given above. I'm going to include this code in a selftest in the future.
