The main goal of direct compaction is to form a high-order page for allocation, but it should also help against long-term fragmentation when possible. Most lower-than-pageblock-order compactions are for non-movable allocations, which means that if we compact in a movable pageblock and terminate as soon as we create the high-order page, it's unlikely that the fallback heuristics will claim the whole block. Instead there might be a single unmovable page in a pageblock full of movable pages, and the next unmovable allocation might pick another pageblock and increase long-term fragmentation. To help against such scenarios, this patch changes the termination criteria for compaction so that the current pageblock is finished even though the high-order page already exists. Note that it might be possible that the high-order page formed elsewhere in the zone due to parallel activity, but this patch doesn't try to detect that. This is only done with sync compaction, because async compaction is limited to pageblock of the same migratetype, where it cannot result in a migratetype fallback. (Async compaction also eagerly skips order-aligned blocks where isolation fails, which is against the goal of migrating away as much of the pageblock as possible.) As a result of this patch, long-term memory fragmentation should be reduced. In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks by 20%.

The migrate scanner in async compaction is currently limited to MIGRATE_MOVABLE pageblocks. This is a heuristic intended to reduce latency, based on the assumption that non-MOVABLE pageblocks are unlikely to contain movable pages. However, with the exception of THP's, most high-order allocations are not movable. Should the async compaction succeed, this increases the chance that the non-MOVABLE allocations will fallback to a MOVABLE pageblock, making the long-term fragmentation worse. This patch attempts to help the situation by changing async direct compaction so that the migrate scanner only scans the pageblocks of the requested migratetype. If it's a non-MOVABLE type and there are such pageblocks that do contain movable pages, chances are that the allocation can succeed within one of such pageblocks, removing the need for a fallback. If that fails, the subsequent sync attempt will ignore this restriction. In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks by 30%. The number of movable allocations falling back is reduced by 12%. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170307131545.28577-8-vbabka@suse.czSigned-off-by:

When stealing pages from pageblock of a different migratetype, we count how many free pages were stolen, and change the pageblock's migratetype if more than half of the pageblock was free. This might be too conservative, as there might be other pages that are not free, but were allocated with the same migratetype as our allocation requested. While we cannot determine the migratetype of allocated pages precisely (at least without the page_owner functionality enabled), we can count pages that compaction would try to isolate for migration - those are either on LRU or __PageMovable(). The rest can be assumed to be MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE or MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE, which we cannot easily distinguish. This counting can be done as part of free page stealing with little additional overhead. The page stealing code is changed so that it considers free pages plus pages of the "good" migratetype for the decision whether to change pageblock's migratetype. The result should be more accurate migratetype of pageblocks wrt the actual pages in the pageblocks, when stealing from semi-occupied pageblocks. This should help the efficiency of page grouping by mobility. In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks by 47%. The number of movable allocations falling back to other pageblocks are increased by 55%, but these events don't cause permanent fragmentation, so the tradeoff should be positive. Later patches also offset the movable fallback increase to some extent. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: merge fix] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170307131545.28577-5-vbabka@suse.czSigned-off-by:

The __rmqueue_fallback() function is called when there's no free page of requested migratetype, and we need to steal from a different one. There are various heuristics to make this event infrequent and reduce permanent fragmentation. The main one is to try stealing from a pageblock that has the most free pages, and possibly steal them all at once and convert the whole pageblock. Precise searching for such pageblock would be expensive, so instead the heuristics walks the free lists from MAX_ORDER down to requested order and assumes that the block with highest-order free page is likely to also have the most free pages in total. Chances are that together with the highest-order page, we steal also pages of lower orders from the same block. But then we still split the highest order page. This is wasteful and can contribute to fragmentation instead of avoiding it. This patch thus changes __rmqueue_fallback() to just steal the page(s) and put them on the freelist of the requested migratetype, and only report whether it was successful. Then we pick (and eventually split) the smallest page with __rmqueue_smallest(). This all happens under zone lock, so nobody can steal it from us in the process. This should reduce fragmentation due to fallbacks. At worst we are only stealing a single highest-order page and waste some cycles by moving it between lists and then removing it, but fallback is not exactly hot path so that should not be a concern. As a side benefit the patch removes some duplicate code by reusing __rmqueue_smallest().

When detecting whether compaction has succeeded in forming a high-order page, __compact_finished() employs a watermark check, followed by an own search for a suitable page in the freelists. This is not ideal for two reasons: - The watermark check also searches high-order freelists, but has a less strict criteria wrt fallback. It's therefore redundant and waste of cycles. This was different in the past when high-order watermark check attempted to apply reserves to high-order pages. - The watermark check might actually fail due to lack of order-0 pages. Compaction can't help with that, so there's no point in continuing because of that. It's possible that high-order page still exists and it terminates. This patch therefore removes the watermark check. This should save some cycles and terminate compaction sooner in some cases.

Patch series "try to reduce fragmenting fallbacks", v3. Last year, Johannes Weiner has reported a regression in page mobility grouping [1] and while the exact cause was not found, I've come up with some ways to improve it by reducing the number of allocations falling back to different migratetype and causing permanent fragmentation. The series was tested with mmtests stress-highalloc modified to do GFP_KERNEL order-4 allocations, on 4.9 with "mm, vmscan: fix zone balance check in prepare_kswapd_sleep" (without that, kcompactd indeed wasn't woken up) on UMA machine with 4GB memory. There were 5 repeats of each run, as the extfrag stats are quite volatile (note the stats below are sums, not averages, as it was less perl hacking for me). Success rate are the same, already high due to the low allocation order used, so I'm not including them. Compaction stats: (the patches are stacked, and I haven't measured the non-functional-changes patches separately) patch 1 patch 2 patch 3 patch 4 patch 7 patch 8 Compaction stalls 22449 24680 24846 19765 22059 17480 Compaction success 12971 14836 14608 10475 11632 8757 Compaction failures 9477 9843 10238 9290 10426 8722 Page migrate success 3109022 3370438 3312164 1695105 1608435 2111379 Page migrate failure 911588 1149065 1028264 1112675 1077251 1026367 Compaction pages isolated 7242983 8015530 7782467 4629063 4402787 5377665 Compaction migrate scanned 980838938 987367943 957690188 917647238 947155598 1018922197 Compaction free scanned 557926893 598946443 602236894 594024490 541169699 763651731 Compaction cost 10243 10578 10304 8286 8398 9440 Compaction stats are mostly within noise until patch 4, which decreases the number of compactions, and migrations. Part of that could be due to more pageblocks marked as unmovable, and async compaction skipping those. This changes a bit with patch 7, but not so much. Patch 8 increases free scanner stats and migrations, which comes from the changed termination criteria. Interestingly number of compactions decreases - probably the fully compacted pageblock satisfies multiple subsequent allocations, so it amortizes. Next comes the extfrag tracepoint, where "fragmenting" means that an allocation had to fallback to a pageblock of another migratetype which wasn't fully free (which is almost all of the fallbacks). I have locally added another tracepoint for "Page steal" into steal_suitable_fallback() which triggers in situations where we are allowed to do move_freepages_block(). If we decide to also do set_pageblock_migratetype(), it's "Pages steal with pageblock" with break down for which allocation migratetype we are stealing and from which fallback migratetype. The last part "due to counting" comes from patch 4 and counts the events where the counting of movable pages allowed us to change pageblock's migratetype, while the number of free pages alone wouldn't be enough to cross the threshold. patch 1 patch 2 patch 3 patch 4 patch 7 patch 8 Page alloc extfrag event 10155066 8522968 10164959 15622080 13727068 13140319 Extfrag fragmenting 10149231 8517025 10159040 15616925 13721391 13134792 Extfrag fragmenting for unmovable 159504 168500 184177 97835 70625 56948 Extfrag fragmenting unmovable placed with movable 153613 163549 172693 91740 64099 50917 Extfrag fragmenting unmovable placed with reclaim. 5891 4951 11484 6095 6526 6031 Extfrag fragmenting for reclaimable 4738 4829 6345 4822 5640 5378 Extfrag fragmenting reclaimable placed with movable 1836 1902 1851 1579 1739 1760 Extfrag fragmenting reclaimable placed with unmov. 2902 2927 4494 3243 3901 3618 Extfrag fragmenting for movable 9984989 8343696 9968518 15514268 13645126 13072466 Pages steal 179954 192291 210880 123254 94545 81486 Pages steal with pageblock 22153 18943 20154 33562 29969 33444 Pages steal with pageblock for unmovable 14350 12858 13256 20660 19003 20852 Pages steal with pageblock for unmovable from mov. 12812 11402 11683 19072 17467 19298 Pages steal with pageblock for unmovable from recl. 1538 1456 1573 1588 1536 1554 Pages steal with pageblock for movable 7114 5489 5965 11787 10012 11493 Pages steal with pageblock for movable from unmov. 6885 5291 5541 11179 9525 10885 Pages steal with pageblock for movable from recl. 229 198 424 608 487 608 Pages steal with pageblock for reclaimable 689 596 933 1115 954 1099 Pages steal with pageblock for reclaimable from unmov. 273 219 537 658 547 667 Pages steal with pageblock for reclaimable from mov. 416 377 396 457 407 432 Pages steal with pageblock due to counting 11834 10075 7530 ... for unmovable 8993 7381 4616 ... for movable 2792 2653 2851 ... for reclaimable 49 41 63 What we can see is that "Extfrag fragmenting for unmovable" and "... placed with movable" drops with almost each patch, which is good as we are polluting less movable pageblocks with unmovable pages. The most significant change is patch 4 with movable page counting. On the other hand it increases "Extfrag fragmenting for movable" by 50%. "Pages steal" drops though, so these movable allocation fallbacks find only small free pages and are not allowed to steal whole pageblocks back. "Pages steal with pageblock" raises, because the patch increases the chances of pageblock migratetype changes to happen. This affects all migratetypes. The summary is that patch 4 is not a clear win wrt these stats, but I believe that the tradeoff it makes is a good one. There's less pollution of movable pageblocks by unmovable allocations. There's less stealing between pageblock, and those that remain have higher chance of changing migratetype also the pageblock itself, so it should more faithfully reflect the migratetype of the pages within the pageblock. The increase of movable allocations falling back to unmovable pageblock might look dramatic, but those allocations can be migrated by compaction when needed, and other patches in the series (7-9) improve that aspect. Patches 7 and 8 continue the trend of reduced unmovable fallbacks and also reduce the impact on movable fallbacks from patch 4. [1] https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg114237.html This patch (of 8): While currently there are (mostly by accident) no holes in struct compact_control (on x86_64), but we are going to add more bool flags, so place them all together to the end of the structure. While at it, just order all fields from largest to smallest. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170307131545.28577-2-vbabka@suse.czSigned-off-by:

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "The bulk of this has been in multiple -next releases. There were a few late breaking fixes and small features that got added in the last couple days, but the whole set has received a build success notification from the kbuild robot. Change summary: - Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the parent to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been reported via the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block devices for namespaces in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that namespaces can be in "device-dax" or "btt-sector" mode this new interface reports media errors generically, i.e. independent of namespace modes or state. This subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1 Section 9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error" requests and submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus devices. - Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted by a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for dax capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations. This fixes the broken assumption that all dax operations are related to a persistent memory device, and makes it easier for other architectures and platforms to add customized persistent memory support. - 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger memory controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would otherwise be flushed automatically by the platform ADR (asynchronous-DRAM-refresh) mechanism at a power loss event.

Pull staging/IIO updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big staging tree update for 4.12-rc1.

Pull GFS2 updates from Bob Peterson: "We've got ten GFS2 patches for this merge window. - Andreas Gruenbacher wrote a patch to replace the deprecated call to rhashtable_walk_init with rhashtable_walk_enter. - Andreas also wrote a patch to eliminate redundant code in two of our debugfs sequence files. - Andreas also cleaned up the rhashtable key ugliness Linus pointed out during this cycle, following Linus's suggestions. - Andreas also wrote a patch to take advantage of his new function rhashtable_lookup_get_insert_fast. This makes glock lookup faster and more bullet-proof. - Andreas also wrote a patch to revert a patch in the evict path that caused occasional deadlocks, and is no longer needed. - Andrew Price wrote a patch to re-enable fallocate for the rindex system file to enable gfs2_grow to grow properly on secondary file system grow operations. - I wrote a patch to initialize an inode number field to make certain kernel trace points more understandable. - I also wrote a patch that makes GFS2 file system "withdraw" work more like it should by ignoring operations after a withdraw that would formerly cause a BUG() and kernel panic. - I also reworked the entire truncate/delete algorithm, scrapping the old recursive algorithm in favor of a new non-recursive algorithm. This was done for performance: This way, GFS2 no longer needs to lock multiple resource groups while doing truncates and deletes of files that cross multiple resource group boundaries, allowing for better parallelism. It also solves a problem whereby deleting large files would request a large chunk of kernel memory, which resulted in a get_page_from_freelist warning. - Due to a regression found during testing, I added a new patch to correct 'GFS2: Prevent BUG from occurring when normal Withdraws occur'." * tag 'gfs2-4.12.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gfs2/linux-gfs2: GFS2: Allow glocks to be unlocked after withdraw GFS2: Non-recursive delete gfs2: Re-enable fallocate for the rindex Revert "GFS2: Wait for iopen glock dequeues" gfs2: Switch to rhashtable_lookup_get_insert_fast GFS2: Temporarily zero i_no_addr when creating a dinode gfs2: Don't pack struct lm_lockname gfs2: Deduplicate gfs2_{glocks,glstats}_open gfs2: Replace rhashtable_walk_init with rhashtable_walk_enter GFS2: Prevent BUG from occurring when normal Withdraws occur -

This bug fixes a regression introduced by patch 0d1c7ae9. The intent of the patch was to stop promoting glocks after a file system is withdrawn due to a variety of errors, because doing so results in a BUG(). (You should be able to unmount after a withdraw rather than having the kernel panic.) Unfortunately, it also stopped demotions, so glocks could not be unlocked after withdraw, which means the unmount would hang. This patch allows function do_xmote to demote locks to an unlocked state after a withdraw, but not promote them. Signed-off-by:

Commit 28b783e4 ("xfs: bufferhead chains are invalid after end_page_writeback") fixed one use-after-free issue by pre-calculating the loop conditionals before calling bh->b_end_io() in the end_io processing loop, but it assigned 'next' pointer before checking end offset boundary & breaking the loop, at which point the bh might be freed already, and caused use-after-free.

While honouring the DMA_ATTR_FORCE_CONTIGUOUS on arm64 (commit 44176bb3: "arm64: Add support for DMA_ATTR_FORCE_CONTIGUOUS to IOMMU"), the existing uses of dma_mmap_attrs() and dma_get_sgtable() have been broken by passing a physically contiguous vm_struct with an invalid pages pointer through the common iommu API. Since the coherent allocation with DMA_ATTR_FORCE_CONTIGUOUS uses CMA, this patch simply reuses the existing swiotlb logic for mmap and get_sgtable. Note that the current implementation of get_sgtable (both swiotlb and iommu) is broken if dma_declare_coherent_memory() is used since such memory does not have a corresponding struct page. To be addressed in a subsequent patch. Fixes: 44176bb3 ("arm64: Add support for DMA_ATTR_FORCE_CONTIGUOUS to IOMMU") Reported-by:

In OpenRISC we do not have a bootloader passed initrd, but the built in initramfs does contain the /init and other binaries, including modules. The previous commit 08865514 ("initramfs: finish fput() before accessing any binary from initramfs") made a change to only call fput() if the bootloader initrd was available, this caused intermittent crashes for OpenRISC. This patch changes the fput() to happen unconditionally if any rootfs is loaded. Also, I added some comments to make it a bit more clear why we call unpack_to_rootfs() multiple times.

This leads to cases where there is enough capacity reserved to hold all the allocated sections, but vmemmap_populate_hugepages() still encounters -ENOMEM from altmap_alloc_block_buf(). This fix is a stop-gap until we can teach the core memory hotplug implementation to permit sub-section hotplug.

freedesktop.org has adopted a formal&enforced code of conduct: https://www.fooishbar.org/blog/fdo-contributor-covenant/ https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeOfConduct/ Besides formalizing things a bit more I don't think this changes anything for us, we've already peer-enforced respectful and constructive interactions since a long time. But it's good to document things properly. v2: Drop confusing note from commit message and clarify the grammer (Chris, Alex and others).
