This reverts commit 75f7ad8e. It was the result of a problem observed with a 3.2 kernel and merged in 3.9, while the issue had been resolved upstream in 3.3 (commit ab8fabd4: "mm: exclude reserved pages from dirtyable memory"). The "reserved pages" are a superset of min_free_kbytes, thus this change is redundant and confusing. Revert it. Signed-off-by:

Each zone that holds userspace pages of one workload must be aged at a speed proportional to the zone size. Otherwise, the time an individual page gets to stay in memory depends on the zone it happened to be allocated in. Asymmetry in the zone aging creates rather unpredictable aging behavior and results in the wrong pages being reclaimed, activated etc. But exactly this happens right now because of the way the page allocator and kswapd interact. The page allocator uses per-node lists of all zones in the system, ordered by preference, when allocating a new page. When the first iteration does not yield any results, kswapd is woken up and the allocator retries. Due to the way kswapd reclaims zones below the high watermark while a zone can be allocated from when it is above the low watermark, the allocator may keep kswapd running while kswapd reclaim ensures that the page allocator can keep allocating from the first zone in the zonelist for extended periods of time. Meanwhile the other zones rarely see new allocations and thus get aged much slower in comparison. The result is that the occasional page placed in lower zones gets relatively more time in memory, even gets promoted to the active list after its peers have long been evicted. Meanwhile, the bulk of the working set may be thrashing on the preferred zone even though there may be significant amounts of memory available in the lower zones. Even the most basic test -- repeatedly reading a file slightly bigger than memory -- shows how broken the zone aging is. In this scenario, no single page should be able stay in memory long enough to get referenced twice and activated, but activation happens in spades: $ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo nr_inactive_file 0 nr_active_file 0 nr_inactive_file 0 nr_active_file 8 nr_inactive_file 1582 nr_active_file 11994 $ cat data data data data >/dev/null $ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo nr_inactive_file 0 nr_active_file 70 nr_inactive_file 258753 nr_active_file 443214 nr_inactive_file 149793 nr_active_file 12021 Fix this with a very simple round robin allocator. Each zone is allowed a batch of allocations that is proportional to the zone's size, after which it is treated as full. The batch counters are reset when all zones have been tried and the allocator enters the slowpath and kicks off kswapd reclaim. Allocation and reclaim is now fairly spread out to all available/allowable zones: $ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo nr_inactive_file 0 nr_active_file 0 nr_inactive_file 174 nr_active_file 4865 nr_inactive_file 53 nr_active_file 860 $ cat data data data data >/dev/null $ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo nr_inactive_file 0 nr_active_file 0 nr_inactive_file 666622 nr_active_file 4988 nr_inactive_file 190969 nr_active_file 937 When zone_reclaim_mode is enabled, allocations will now spread out to all zones on the local node, not just the first preferred zone (which on a 4G node might be a tiny Normal zone).

The way the page allocator interacts with kswapd creates aging imbalances, where the amount of time a userspace page gets in memory under reclaim pressure is dependent on which zone, which node the allocator took the page frame from. #1 fixes missed kswapd wakeups on NUMA systems, which lead to some nodes falling behind for a full reclaim cycle relative to the other nodes in the system #3 fixes an interaction where kswapd and a continuous stream of page allocations keep the preferred zone of a task between the high and low watermark (allocations succeed + kswapd does not go to sleep) indefinitely, completely underutilizing the lower zones and thrashing on the preferred zone These patches are the aging fairness part of the thrash-detection based file LRU balancing.

This patch: When the page allocator fails to get a page from all zones in its given zonelist, it wakes up the per-node kswapds for all zones that are at their low watermark. However, with a system under load the free pages in a zone can fluctuate enough that the allocation fails but the kswapd wakeup is also skipped while the zone is still really close to the low watermark. When one node misses a wakeup like this, it won't be aged before all the other node's zones are down to their low watermarks again. And skipping a full aging cycle is an obvious fairness problem. Kswapd runs until the high watermarks are restored, so it should also be woken when the high watermarks are not met. This ages nodes more equally and creates a safety margin for the page counter fluctuation. By using zone_balanced(), it will now check, in addition to the watermark, if compaction requires more order-0 pages to create a higher order page. Signed-off-by: -

In the current code, the value of fallback_migratetype that is printed using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint, is the value of the migratetype *after* it has been set to the preferred migratetype (if the ownership was changed). Obviously that wouldn't have been the original intent. (We already have a separate 'change_ownership' field to tell whether the ownership of the pageblock was changed from the fallback_migratetype to the preferred type.) The intent of the fallback_migratetype field is to show the migratetype from which we borrowed pages in order to satisfy the allocation request. So fix the code to print that value correctly.

Srivatsa S. Bhat authored
The free-page stealing code in __rmqueue_fallback() is somewhat hard to follow, and has an incredible amount of subtlety hidden inside! First off, there is a minor bug in the reporting of change-of-ownership of pageblocks. Under some conditions, we try to move upto 'pageblock_nr_pages' no. of pages to the preferred allocation list. But we change the ownership of that pageblock to the preferred type only if we manage to successfully move atleast half of that pageblock (or if page_group_by_mobility_disabled is set). However, the current code ignores the latter part and sets the 'migratetype' variable to the preferred type, irrespective of whether we actually changed the pageblock migratetype of that block or not. So, the page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint can end up printing incorrect info (i.e., 'change_ownership' might be shown as 1 when it must have been 0). So fixing this involves moving the update of the 'migratetype' variable to the right place. But looking closer, we observe that the 'migratetype' variable is used subsequently for checks such as "is_migrate_cma()". Obviously the intent there is to check if the *fallback* type is MIGRATE_CMA, but since we already set the 'migratetype' variable to start_migratetype, we end up checking if the *preferred* type is MIGRATE_CMA!! To make things more interesting, this actually doesn't cause a bug in practice, because we never change *anything* if the fallback type is CMA. So, restructure the code in such a way that it is trivial to understand what is going on, and also fix the above mentioned bug. And while at it, also add a comment explaining the subtlety behind the migratetype used in the call to expand().

swap cluster allocation is to get better request merge to improve performance. But the cluster is shared globally, if multiple tasks are doing swap, this will cause interleave disk access. While multiple tasks swap is quite common, for example, each numa node has a kswapd thread doing swap and multiple threads/processes doing direct page reclaim. ioscheduler can't help too much here, because tasks don't send swapout IO down to block layer in the meantime. Block layer does merge some IOs, but a lot not, depending on how many tasks are doing swapout concurrently. In practice, I've seen a lot of small size IO in swapout workloads. We makes the cluster allocation per-cpu here. The interleave disk access issue goes away. All tasks swapout to their own cluster, so swapout will become sequential, which can be easily merged to big size IO. If one CPU can't get its per-cpu cluster (for example, there is no free cluster anymore in the swap), it will fallback to scan swap_map. The CPU can still continue swap. We don't need recycle free swap entries of other CPUs. In my test (swap to a 2-disk raid0 partition), this improves around 10% swapout throughput, and request size is increased significantly. How does this impact swap readahead is uncertain though. On one side, page reclaim always isolates and swaps several adjancent pages, this will make page reclaim write the pages sequentially and benefit readahead. On the other side, several CPU write pages interleave means the pages don't live _sequentially_ but relatively _near_. In the per-cpu allocation case, if adjancent pages are written by different cpus, they will live relatively _far_. So how this impacts swap readahead depends on how many pages page reclaim isolates and swaps one time. If the number is big, this patch will benefit swap readahead. Of course, this is about sequential access pattern. The patch has no impact for random access pattern, because the new cluster allocation algorithm is just for SSD. Alternative solution is organizing swap layout to be per-mm instead of this per-cpu approach. In the per-mm layout, we allocate a disk range for each mm, so pages of one mm live in swap disk adjacently. per-mm layout has potential issues of lock contention if multiple reclaimers are swap pages from one mm. For a sequential workload, per-mm layout is better to implement swap readahead, because pages from the mm are adjacent in disk. But per-cpu layout isn't very bad in this workload, as page reclaim always isolates and swaps several pages one time, such pages will still live in disk sequentially and readahead can utilize this. For a random workload, per-mm layout isn't beneficial of request merge, because it's quite possible pages from different mm are swapout in the meantime and IO can't be merged in per-mm layout. while with per-cpu layout we can merge requests from any mm. Considering random workload is more popular in workloads with swap (and per-cpu approach isn't too bad for sequential workload too), I'm choosing per-cpu layout.

The previous patch can expose races, according to Hugh: swapoff was sometimes failing with "Cannot allocate memory", coming from try_to_unuse()'s -ENOMEM: it needs to allow for swap_duplicate() failing on a free entry temporarily SWAP_MAP_BAD while being discarded. We should use ACCESS_ONCE() there, and whenever accessing swap_map locklessly; but rather than peppering it throughout try_to_unuse(), just declare *swap_map with volatile. try_to_unuse() is accustomed to *swap_map going down racily, but not necessarily to it jumping up from 0 to SWAP_MAP_BAD: we'll be safer to prevent that transition once SWP_WRITEOK is switched off, when it's a waste of time to issue discards anyway (swapon can do a whole discard). Another issue is: In swapin_readahead(), read_swap_cache_async() can read a bad swap entry, because we don't check if readahead swap entry is bad. This doesn't break anything but such swapin page is wasteful and can only be freed at page reclaim. We should avoid read such swap entry. And in discard, we mark swap entry SWAP_MAP_BAD and then switch it to normal when discard is finished. If readahead reads such swap entry, we have the same issue, so we much check if swap entry is bad too. Thanks Hugh to inspire swapin_readahead could use bad swap entry.

swap can do cluster discard for SSD, which is good, but there are some problems here: 1. swap do the discard just before page reclaim gets a swap entry and writes the disk sectors. This is useless for high end SSD, because an overwrite to a sector implies a discard to original sector too. A discard + overwrite == overwrite. 2. the purpose of doing discard is to improve SSD firmware garbage collection. Idealy we should send discard as early as possible, so firmware can do something smart. Sending discard just after swap entry is freed is considered early compared to sending discard before write. Of course, if workload is already bound to gc speed, sending discard earlier or later doesn't make 3. block discard is a sync API, which will delay scan_swap_map() significantly. 4. Write and discard command can be executed parallel in PCIe SSD. Making swap discard async can make execution more efficiently. This patch makes swap discard async and moves discard to where swap entry is freed. Discard and write have no dependence now, so above issues can be avoided. Idealy we should do discard for any freed sectors, but some SSD discard is very slow. This patch still does discard for a whole cluster. My test does a several round of 'mmap, write, unmap', which will trigger a lot of swap discard. In a fusionio card, with this patch, the test runtime is reduced to 18% of the time without it, so around 5.5x faster. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by:

I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to 20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to 80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow. Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears. This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently. We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see below). The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too. And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this isn't a problem at all. Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason I only enable the algorithm for SSD). Signed-off-by:

The previous patch doing vmstats for TLB flushes ("mm: vmstats: tlb flush counters") effectively missed UP since arch/x86/mm/tlb.c is only compiled for SMP. UP systems do not do remote TLB flushes, so compile those counters out on UP. arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mtrr/generic.c calls __flush_tlb() directly. This is probably an optimization since both the mtrr code and __flush_tlb() write cr4. It would probably be safe to make that a flush_tlb_all() (and then get these statistics), but the mtrr code is ancient and I'm hesitant to touch it other than to just stick in the counters.

I was investigating some TLB flush scaling issues and realized that we do not have any good methods for figuring out how many TLB flushes we are doing. It would be nice to be able to do these in generic code, but the arch-independent calls don't explicitly specify whether we actually need to do remote flushes or not. In the end, we really need to know if we actually _did_ global vs. local invalidations, so that leaves us with few options other than to muck with the counters from arch-specific code. Signed-off-by:

correct_wcount and inode in mmap_region() just complicate the code. This boolean was needed previously, when deny_write_access() was called before vma_merge(), now we can simply check VM_DENYWRITE and do allow_write_access() if it is set. allow_write_access() checks file != NULL, so this is safe even if it was possible to use VM_DENYWRITE && !file. Just we need to ensure we use the same file which was deny_write_access()'ed, so the patch also moves "file = vma->vm_file" down after allow_write_access(). Signed-off-by:

mmap() doesn't allow the non-anonymous mappings with VM_GROWS* bit set. In particular this means that mmap_region()->vma_merge(file, vm_flags) must always fail if "vm_flags & VM_GROWS" is set incorrectly. So it does not make sense to check VM_GROWS* after we already allocated the new vma, the only caller, do_mmap_pgoff(), which can pass this flag can do the check itself. And this looks a bit more correct, mmap_region() already unmapped the old mapping at this stage. But if mmap() is going to fail, it should avoid do_munmap() if possible. Note: we check VM_GROWS at the end to ensure that do_mmap_pgoff() won't return EINVAL in the case when it currently returns another error code. Many thanks to Hugh who nacked the buggy v1.

At one time we used to set the maximum number of scatter gather elements on all Smart Array controllers to 32. At some point in time the firmware began to write the "appropriate" value for each controller into the config table. The cciss driver would then read that and set h->maxsgentries. h->maxsgentries = readl(&(h->cfgtable->MaxSGElements); On the P600 that value is 544. Under some workloads a significant performance reduction may result. This patch forces the P600 to use only 32 scatter gather elements. Other controllers are not affected.

Call fiemap ioctl(2) with given start offset as well as an desired mapping range should show extents if possible. However, we somehow figure out the end offset of mapping via 'mapping_end -= cpos' before iterating the extent records which would cause problems if the given fiemap length is too small to a cluster size, e.g, Cluster size 4096: debugfs.ocfs2 1.6.3 Block Size Bits: 12 Cluster Size Bits: 12 The extended fiemap test utility From David: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6172331 # dd if=/dev/urandom of=/ocfs2/test_file bs=1M count=1000 # ./fiemap /ocfs2/test_file 4096 10 start: 4096, length: 10 File /ocfs2/test_file has 0 extents: # Logical Physical Length Flags ^^^^^ <-- No extent is shown In this case, at ocfs2_fiemap(): cpos == mapping_end == 1. Hence the loop of searching extent records was not executed at all. This patch remove the in question 'mapping_end -= cpos', and loops until the cpos is larger than the mapping_end as usual. # ./fiemap /ocfs2/test_file 4096 10 start: 4096, length: 10 File /ocfs2/test_file has 1 extents: # Logical Physical Length Flags 0: 0000000000000000 0000000056a01000 0000000006a00000 0000 Signed-off-by:Jie Liu <jeff.liu@oracle.com> Reported-by:

In o2hb_shutdown_slot() and o2hb_check_slot(), since event is defined as local, it is only valid during the call stack. So the following tiny race case may happen in a multi-volumes mounted environment: o2hb-vol1 o2hb-vol2 1) o2hb_shutdown_slot allocate local event1 2) queue_node_event add event1 to global o2hb_node_events 3) o2hb_shutdown_slot allocate local event2 4) queue_node_event add event2 to global o2hb_node_events 5) o2hb_run_event_list delete event1 from o2hb_node_events 6) o2hb_run_event_list event1 empty, return 7) o2hb_shutdown_slot event1 lifecycle ends 8) o2hb_fire_callbacks event1 is already *invalid* This patch lets it wait on o2hb_callback_sem when another thread is firing callbacks. And for performance consideration, we only call o2hb_run_event_list when there is an event queued. Signed-off-by:Joyce <xuejiufei@huawei.com> Signed-off-by:
