alloc_surplus_huge_page increases the pool size and the number of surplus pages opportunistically to prevent from races with the pool size change. See commit d1c3fb1f ("hugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl") for more details. The resulting code is unnecessarily hairy, cause code duplication and doesn't allow to share the allocation paths. Moreover pool size changes tend to be very seldom so optimizing for them is not really reasonable. Simplify the code and allow to allocate a fresh surplus page as long as we are under the overcommit limit and then recheck the condition after the allocation and drop the new page if the situation has changed. This should provide a reasonable guarantee that an abrupt allocation requests will not go way off the limit. If we consider races with the pool shrinking and enlarging then we should be reasonably safe as well. In the first case we are off by one in the worst case and the second case should work OK because the page is not yet visible. We can waste CPU cycles for the allocation but that should be acceptable for a relatively rare condition. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180103093213.26329-5-mhocko@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

hugepage migration relies on __alloc_buddy_huge_page to get a new page. This has 2 main disadvantages. 1) it doesn't allow to migrate any huge page if the pool is used completely which is not an exceptional case as the pool is static and unused memory is just wasted. 2) it leads to a weird semantic when migration between two numa nodes might increase the pool size of the destination NUMA node while the page is in use. The issue is caused by per NUMA node surplus pages tracking (see free_huge_page). Address both issues by changing the way how we allocate and account pages allocated for migration. Those should temporal by definition. So we mark them that way (we will abuse page flags in the 3rd page) and update free_huge_page to free such pages to the page allocator. Page migration path then just transfers the temporal status from the new page to the old one which will be freed on the last reference. The global surplus count will never change during this path but we still have to be careful when migrating a per-node suprlus page. This is now handled in move_hugetlb_state which is called from the migration path and it copies the hugetlb specific page state and fixes up the accounting when needed Rename __alloc_buddy_huge_page to __alloc_surplus_huge_page to better reflect its purpose. The new allocation routine for the migration path is __alloc_migrate_huge_page. The user visible effect of this patch is that migrated pages are really temporal and they travel between NUMA nodes as per the migration request: Before migration /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages:0 /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages:1 /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/surplus_hugepages:0 /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages:0 /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages:0 /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/surplus_hugepages:0 After /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages:0 /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages:0 /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/surplus_hugepages:0 /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages:0 /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages:1 /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/surplus_hugepages:0 with the previous implementation, both nodes would have nr_hugepages:1 until the page is freed.

Gigantic hugetlb pages were ingrown to the hugetlb code as an alien specie with a lot of special casing. The allocation path is not an exception. Unnecessarily so to be honest. It is true that the underlying allocator is different but that is an implementation detail. This patch unifies the hugetlb allocation path that a prepares fresh pool pages. alloc_fresh_gigantic_page basically copies alloc_fresh_huge_page logic so we can move everything there. This will simplify set_max_huge_pages which doesn't have to care about what kind of huge page we allocate. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180103093213.26329-3-mhocko@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

Patch series "mm, hugetlb: allocation API and migration improvements" Motivation: this is a follow up for [3] for the allocation API and [4] for the hugetlb migration. It wasn't really easy to split those into two separate patch series as they share some code. My primary motivation to touch this code is to make the gigantic pages migration working. The giga pages allocation code is just too fragile and hacked into the hugetlb code now. This series tries to move giga pages closer to the first class citizen. We are not there yet but having 5 patches is quite a lot already and it will already make the code much easier to follow. I will come with other changes on top after this sees some review. The first two patches should be trivial to review. The third patch changes the way how we migrate huge pages. Newly allocated pages are a subject of the overcommit check and they participate surplus accounting which is quite unfortunate as the changelog explains. This patch doesn't change anything wrt. giga pages. Patch #4 removes the surplus accounting hack from __alloc_surplus_huge_page. I hope I didn't miss anything there and a deeper review is really due there. Patch #5 finally unifies allocation paths and giga pages shouldn't be any special anymore. There is also some renaming going on as well. This patch (of 6): hugetlb allocator has two entry points to the page allocator - alloc_fresh_huge_page_node - __hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page The two differ very subtly in two aspects. The first one doesn't care about HTLB_BUDDY_* stats and it doesn't initialize the huge page. prep_new_huge_page is not used because it not only initializes hugetlb specific stuff but because it also put_page and releases the page to the hugetlb pool which is not what is required in some contexts. This makes things more complicated than necessary. Simplify things by a) removing the page allocator entry point duplicity and only keep __hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page and b) make prep_new_huge_page more reusable by removing the put_page which moves the page to the allocator pool. All current callers are updated to call put_page explicitly. Later patches will add new callers which won't need it. This patch shouldn't introduce any functional change.

mem_cgroup_resize_[memsw]_limit() tries to free only 32 (SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX) pages on each iteration. This makes it practically impossible to decrease limit of memory cgroup. Tasks could easily allocate back 32 pages, so we can't reduce memory usage, and once retry_count reaches zero we return -EBUSY. Easy to reproduce the problem by running the following commands: mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test echo $$ >> /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/tasks cat big_file > /dev/null & sleep 1 && echo $((100*1024*1024)) > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes -bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy Instead of relying on retry_count, keep retrying the reclaim until the desired limit is reached or fail if the reclaim doesn't make any progress or a signal is pending.

The variable 'entry' is used before being initialized in hmm_vma_walk_pmd(). No bad effect (beside performance hit) so !non_swap_entry(0) evaluate to true which trigger a fault as if CPU was trying to access migrated memory and migrate memory back from device memory to regular memory. This function (hmm_vma_walk_pmd()) is called when a device driver tries to populate its own page table. For migrated memory it should not happen as the device driver should already have populated its page table correctly during the migration. Only case I can think of is multi-GPU where a second GPU triggers migration back to regular memory. Again this would just result in a performance hit, nothing bad would happen.

The comment is confusing. On the one hand, it refers to 32-bit alignment (struct page alignment on 32-bit platforms), but this would only guarantee that the 2 lowest bits must be zero. On the other hand, it claims that at least 3 bits are available, and 3 bits are actually used. This is not broken, because there is a stronger alignment guarantee, just less obvious. Let's fix the comment to make it clear how many bits are available and why. Although memmap arrays are allocated in various places, the resulting pointer is encoded eventually, so I am adding a BUG_ON() here to enforce at runtime that all expected bits are indeed available. I have also added a BUILD_BUG_ON to check that PFN_SECTION_SHIFT is sufficient, because this part of the calculation can be easily checked at build time.

During our recent testing with fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED), we find that if given offset/length is not page-aligned, the last page will not be discarded. The tool we use is vmtouch (https://hoytech.com/vmtouch/), we map a 10KB-sized file into memory and then try to run this tool to evict the whole file mapping, but the last single page always remains staying in the memory: $./vmtouch -e test_10K Files: 1 Directories: 0 Evicted Pages: 3 (12K) Elapsed: 2.1e-05 seconds $./vmtouch test_10K Files: 1 Directories: 0 Resident Pages: 1/3 4K/12K 33.3% Elapsed: 5.5e-05 seconds However when we test with an older kernel, say 3.10, this problem is gone. So we wonder if this is a regression: $./vmtouch -e test_10K Files: 1 Directories: 0 Evicted Pages: 3 (12K) Elapsed: 8.2e-05 seconds $./vmtouch test_10K Files: 1 Directories: 0 Resident Pages: 0/3 0/12K 0% <-- partial page also discarded Elapsed: 5e-05 seconds After digging a little bit into this problem, we find it seems not a regression. Not discarding partial page is likely to be on purpose according to commit 441c228f ("mm: fadvise: document the fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED) behaviour for partial pages") written by Mel Gorman. He explained why partial pages should be preserved instead of being discarded when using fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED). However, the interesting part is that the actual code did NOT work as the same as it was described, the partial page was still discarded anyway, due to a calculation mistake of `end_index' passed to invalidate_mapping_pages(). This mistake has not been fixed until recently, that's why we fail to reproduce our problem in old kernels. The fix is done in commit 18aba41c ("mm/fadvise.c: do not discard partial pages with POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED") by Oleg Drokin. Back to the original testing, our problem becomes that there is a special case that, if the page-unaligned `endbyte' is also the end of file, it is not necessary at all to preserve the last partial page, as we all know no one else will use the rest of it. It should be safe enough if we just discard the whole page. So we add an EOF check in this patch. We also find a poosbile real world issue in mainline kernel. Assume such scenario: A userspace backup application want to backup a huge amount of small files (<4k) at once, the developer might (I guess) want to use fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED) to save memory. However, FADV_DONTNEED won't really happen since the only page mapped is a partial page, and kernel will preserve it. Our patch also fixes this problem, since we know the endbyte is EOF, so we discard it.

Mel Gorman authored
Minchan Kim asked the following question -- what locks protects address_space destroying when race happens between inode trauncation and __isolate_lru_page? Jan Kara clarified by describing the race as follows CPU1 CPU2 truncate(inode) __isolate_lru_page() ... truncate_inode_page(mapping, page); delete_from_page_cache(page) spin_lock_irqsave(&mapping->tree_lock, flags); __delete_from_page_cache(page, NULL) page_cache_tree_delete(..) ... mapping = page_mapping(page); page->mapping = NULL; ... spin_unlock_irqrestore(&mapping->tree_lock, flags); page_cache_free_page(mapping, page) put_page(page) if (put_page_testzero(page)) -> false - inode now has no pages and can be freed including embedded address_space if (mapping && !mapping->a_ops->migratepage) - we've dereferenced mapping which is potentially already free. The race is theoretically possible but unlikely. Before the delete_from_page_cache, truncate_cleanup_page is called so the page is likely to be !PageDirty or PageWriteback which gets skipped by the only caller that checks the mappping in __isolate_lru_page. Even if the race occurs, a substantial amount of work has to happen during a tiny window with no preemption but it could potentially be done using a virtual machine to artifically slow one CPU or halt it during the critical window. This patch should eliminate the race with truncation by try-locking the page before derefencing mapping and aborting if the lock was not acquired. There was a suggestion from Huang Ying to use RCU as a side-effect to prevent mapping being freed. However, I do not like the solution as it's an unconventional means of preserving a mapping and it's not a context where rcu_read_lock is obviously protecting rcu data.

Patch series "memfd: add sealing to hugetlb-backed memory", v3. Recently, Mike Kravetz added hugetlbfs support to memfd. However, he didn't add sealing support. One of the reasons to use memfd is to have shared memory sealing when doing IPC or sharing memory with another process with some extra safety. qemu uses shared memory & hugetables with vhost-user (used by dpdk), so it is reasonable to use memfd now instead for convenience and security reasons. This patch (of 9): The functions are called through shmem_fcntl() only. And no danger in removing the EXPORTs as the routines only work with shmem file structs.

Neither of these values get even close to 256; compound_dtor is currently at a maximum of 3, and compound_order can't be over 64. No machine has inefficient access to bytes since EV5, and while those are still supported, we don't optimise for them any more. This does not shrink struct page, but it removes an ifdef and frees up 2-6 bytes for future use. diff of pahole output: struct callback_head callback_head; /* 32 16 */ struct { long unsigned int compound_head; /* 32 8 */ - unsigned int compound_dtor; /* 40 4 */ - unsigned int compound_order; /* 44 4 */ + unsigned char compound_dtor; /* 40 1 */ + unsigned char compound_order; /* 41 1 */ }; /* 32 16 */ }; /* 32 16 */ union { [mawilcox@microsoft.com: add comment] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171221000144.GB2980@bombadil.infradead.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171220155552.15884-7-willy@infradead.orgSigned-off-by: -

The "third double word block" isn't on 32-bit systems. The layout looks like this: unsigned long flags; struct address_space *mapping pgoff_t index; atomic_t _mapcount; atomic_t _refcount; which is 32 bytes on 64-bit, but 20 bytes on 32-bit. Nobody is trying to use the fact that it's double-word aligned today, so just remove the misleading claims. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171220155552.15884-4-willy@infradead.orgSigned-off-by:

I found the struct { union { struct { union { struct { } } } } } layout rather confusing. Fortunately, there is an easier way to write this. The innermost union is of four things which are the size of an int, so the ones which are used by slab/slob/slub can be pulled up two levels to be in the outermost union with 'counters'. That leaves us with struct { union { struct { atomic_t; atomic_t; } } } which has the same layout, but is easier to read. Output from the current git version of pahole, diffed with -uw to ignore the whitespace changes from the indentation: }; /* 16 8 */ union { long unsigned int counters; /* 24 8 */ - struct { - union { - atomic_t _mapcount; /* 24 4 */ unsigned int active; /* 24 4 */ struct { unsigned int inuse:16; /* 24:16 4 */ @@ -21,7 +18,8 @@ unsigned int frozen:1; /* 24: 0 4 */ }; /* 24 4 */ int units; /* 24 4 */ - }; /* 24 4 */ + struct { + atomic_t _mapcount; /* 24 4 */ atomic_t _refcount; /* 28 4 */ }; /* 24 8 */ }; /* 24 8 */ Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171220155552.15884-3-willy@infradead.orgSigned-off-by: -

Patch series "Restructure struct page", v2. This series does not attempt any grand restructuring. Instead, it cures the worst of the indentitis, fixes the documentation and reduces the ifdeffery. The only layout change is compound_dtor and compound_order are each reduced to one byte. This patch (of 8): Instead of an ifdef block at the end of the struct, which needed its own comment, define _struct_page_alignment up at the top where it fits nicely with the existing comment.

Structure zs_pool has special flag to indicate success of shrinker initialization. unregister_shrinker() has improved and can detect by itself whether actual deinitialization should be performed or not, so extra flag becomes redundant.

This uses the new annotation to determine if an mm has mmu notifiers with blockable invalidate range callbacks to avoid oom reaping. Otherwise, the callbacks are used around unmap_page_range().

Commit 4d4bbd85 ("mm, oom_reaper: skip mm structs with mmu notifiers") prevented the oom reaper from unmapping private anonymous memory with the oom reaper when the oom victim mm had mmu notifiers registered. The rationale is that doing mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_{start,end}() around the unmap_page_range(), which is needed, can block and the oom killer will stall forever waiting for the victim to exit, which may not be possible without reaping. That concern is real, but only true for mmu notifiers that have blockable invalidate_range_{start,end}() callbacks. This patch adds a "flags" field to mmu notifier ops that can set a bit to indicate that these callbacks do not block. The implementation is steered toward an expensive slowpath, such as after the oom reaper has grabbed mm->mmap_sem of a still alive oom victim.

In the current design, khugepaged needs to acquire mmap_sem before scanning an mm. But in some corner cases, khugepaged may scan a process which is modifying its memory mapping, so khugepaged blocks in uninterruptible state. But the process might hold the mmap_sem for a long time when modifying a huge memory space and it may trigger the below khugepaged hung issue: INFO: task khugepaged:270 blocked for more than 120 seconds. Tainted: G E 4.9.65-006.ali3000.alios7.x86_64 #1 "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. khugepaged D 0 270 2 0x00000000 ffff883f3deae4c0 0000000000000000 ffff883f610596c0 ffff883f7d359440 ffff883f63818000 ffffc90019adfc78 ffffffff817079a5 d67e5aa8c1860a64 0000000000000246 ffff883f7d359440 ffffc90019adfc88 ffff883f610596c0 Call Trace: schedule+0x36/0x80 rwsem_down_read_failed+0xf0/0x150 call_rwsem_down_read_failed+0x18/0x30 down_read+0x20/0x40 khugepaged+0x476/0x11d0 kthread+0xe6/0x100 ret_from_fork+0x25/0x30 So it sounds pointless to just block khugepaged waiting for the semaphore so replace down_read() with down_read_trylock() to move to scan the next mm quickly instead of just blocking on the semaphore so that other processes can get more chances to install THP. Then khugepaged can come back to scan the skipped mm when it has finished the current round full_scan. And it appears that the change can improve khugepaged efficiency a little bit.

Instead of marking the pmd ready for split, invalidate the pmd. This should take care of powerpc requirement. Only side effect is that we mark the pmd invalid early.
