To identify that pages of page table are allocated from bootmem allocator, magic number sets to page->lru.next. But page->lru list is initialized in reserve_bootmem_region(). So when calling free_pagetable(), the function cannot find the magic number of pages. And free_pagetable() frees the pages by free_reserved_page() not put_page_bootmem(). But if the pages are allocated from bootmem allocator and used as page table, the pages have private flag. So before freeing the pages, we should clear the private flag by put_page_bootmem(). Before applying the commit 7bfec6f4 ("mm, page_alloc: check multiple page fields with a single branch"), we could find the following visible issue: BUG: Bad page state in process kworker/u1024:1 page:ffffea103cfd8040 count:0 mapcount:0 mappi flags: 0x6fffff80000800(private) page dumped because: PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_FREE flag(s) set bad because of flags: 0x800(private) <snip> Call Trace: [...] dump_stack+0x63/0x87 [...] bad_page+0x114/0x130 [...] free_pages_prepare+0x299/0x2d0 [...] free_hot_cold_page+0x31/0x150 [...] __free_pages+0x25/0x30 [...] free_pagetable+0x6f/0xb4 [...] remove_pagetable+0x379/0x7ff [...] vmemmap_free+0x10/0x20 [...] sparse_remove_one_section+0x149/0x180 [...] __remove_pages+0x2e9/0x4f0 [...] arch_remove_memory+0x63/0xc0 [...] remove_memory+0x8c/0xc0 [...] acpi_memory_device_remove+0x79/0xa5 [...] acpi_bus_trim+0x5a/0x8d [...] acpi_bus_trim+0x38/0x8d [...] acpi_device_hotplug+0x1b7/0x418 [...] acpi_hotplug_work_fn+0x1e/0x29 [...] process_one_work+0x152/0x400 [...] worker_thread+0x125/0x4b0 [...] kthread+0xd8/0xf0 [...] ret_from_fork+0x22/0x40 And the issue still silently occurs. Until freeing the pages of page table allocated from bootmem allocator, the page->freelist is never used. So the patch sets magic number to page->freelist instead of page->lru.next.

free_map_bootmem() uses page->private directly to set removing_section_nr argument. But to get page->private value, page_private() has been prepared. So free_map_bootmem() should use page_private() instead of page->private. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1d34eaa5-a506-8b7a-6471-490c345deef8@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

memblock_reserve() would add a new range to memblock.reserved in case the new range is not totally covered by any of the current memblock.reserved range. If the memblock.reserved is full and can't resize, memblock_reserve() would fail. This doesn't happen in real world now, I observed this during code review. While theoretically, it has the chance to happen. And if it happens, others would think this range of memory is still available and may corrupt the memory. This patch checks the return value and goto "done" after it succeeds. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1482363033-24754-3-git-send-email-richard.weiyang@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

memblock_is_region_memory() invoke memblock_search() to see whether the base address is in the memory region. If it fails, idx would be -1. Then, it returns 0. If the memblock_search() returns a valid index, it means the base address is guaranteed to be in the range memblock.memory.regions[idx]. Because of this, it is not necessary to check the base again. This patch removes the check on "base". Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1482363033-24754-2-git-send-email-richard.weiyang@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

Without a memory barrier, the following race can occur with a high-order allocation: wakeup_kcompactd(order == 1) kcompactd() [L] waitqueue_active(kcompactd_wait) [S] prepare_to_wait_event(kcompactd_wait) [L] (kcompactd_max_order == 0) [S] kcompactd_max_order = order; schedule() Where the waitqueue_active() check is speculatively re-ordered to before setting the actual condition (max_order), not seeing the threads that's going to block; making us miss a wakeup. There are a couple of options to fix this, including calling wq_has_sleepers() which adds a full barrier, or unconditionally doing the wake_up_interruptible() and serialize on the q->lock. However, to make use of the control dependency, we just need to add L->L guarantees. While this bug is theoretical, there have been other offenders of the lockless waitqueue_active() in the past -- this is also documented in the call itself.

When using a sparse memory model memmap_init_zone() when invoked with the MEMMAP_EARLY context will skip over pages which aren't valid - ie. which aren't in a populated region of the sparse memory map. However if the memory map is extremely sparse then it can spend a long time linearly checking each PFN in a large non-populated region of the memory map & skipping it in turn. When CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is enabled, we have sufficient information to quickly discover the next valid PFN given an invalid one by searching through the list of memory regions & skipping forwards to the first PFN covered by the memory region to the right of the non-populated region. Implement this in order to speed up memmap_init_zone() for systems with extremely sparse memory maps. James said "I have tested this patch on a virtual model of a Samurai CPU with a sparse memory map. The kernel boot time drops from 109 to 62 seconds.

A "compact_daemon_wake" vmstat exists that represents the number of times kcompactd has woken up. This doesn't represent how much work it actually did, though. It's useful to understand how much compaction work is being done by kcompactd versus other methods such as direct compaction and explicitly triggered per-node (or system) compaction. This adds two new vmstats: "compact_daemon_migrate_scanned" and "compact_daemon_free_scanned" to represent the number of pages kcompactd has scanned as part of its migration scanner and freeing scanner, respectively. These values are still accounted for in the general "compact_migrate_scanned" and "compact_free_scanned" for compatibility. It could be argued that explicitly triggered compaction could also be tracked separately, and that could be added if others find it useful.

Commit 682a3385 ("mm, page_alloc: inline the fast path of the zonelist iterator") changed how next_zones_zonelist() is called, by adding a static inline function to do the fast path. This function adds: if (likely(!nodes && zonelist_zone_idx(z) <= highest_zoneidx)) return z; return __next_zones_zonelist(z, highest_zoneidx, nodes); Where __next_zones_zonelist() is only called when nodes is not NULL or zonelist_zone_idx(z) is less than highest_zoneidx. The original next_zone_zonelist() was converted to __next_zones_zonelist() but it still maintained: if (likely(nodes == NULL)) Which is now actually a very unlikely, as it is only called with nodes equal to NULL when zonelist_zone_idx(z) is greater than highest_zoneidx. Before this commit, this if had this statistic: correct incorrect % Function File Line ------- --------- - -------- ---- ---- 837895 446078 34 next_zones_zonelist mmzone.c 63 After this commit, it has: correct incorrect % Function File Line ------- --------- - -------- ---- ---- 10 173840 99 __next_zones_zonelist mmzone.c 63 Thus, the if statement is now much more unlikely than it ever was as a likely.

Currently we have tracepoints for both active and inactive LRU lists reclaim but we do not have any which would tell us why we we decided to age the active list. Without that it is quite hard to diagnose active/inactive lists balancing. Add mm_vmscan_inactive_list_is_low tracepoint to tell us this information.

mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive will currently report the number of scanned and reclaimed pages. This doesn't give us an idea how the reclaim went except for the overall effectiveness though. Export and show other counters which will tell us why we couldn't reclaim some pages. - nr_dirty, nr_writeback, nr_congested and nr_immediate tells us how many pages are blocked due to IO - nr_activate tells us how many pages were moved to the active list - nr_ref_keep reports how many pages are kept on the LRU due to references (mostly for the file pages which are about to go for another round through the inactive list) - nr_unmap_fail - how many pages failed to unmap All these are rather low level so they might change in future but the tracepoint is already implementation specific so no tools should be depending on its stability.

shrink_page_list returns quite some counters back to its caller. Extract the existing 5 into struct reclaim_stat because this makes the code easier to follow and also allows further counters to be returned. While we are at it, make all of them unsigned rather than unsigned long as we do not really need full 64b for them (we never scan more than SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages at once). This should reduce some stack space. This patch shouldn't introduce any functional change. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170104101942.4860-6-mhocko@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

mm_vmscan_lru_isolate currently prints only whether the LRU we isolate from is file or anonymous but we do not know which LRU this is. It is useful to know whether the list is active or inactive, since we are using the same function to isolate pages from both of them and it's hard to distinguish otherwise.

mm_vmscan_lru_isolate shows the number of requested, scanned and taken pages. This is mostly OK but on 32b systems the number of scanned pages is quite misleading because it includes both the scanned and skipped pages. Moreover the skipped part is scaled based on the number of taken pages. Let's report the exact numbers without any additional logic and add the number of skipped pages. This should make the reported data much more easier to interpret. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170104101942.4860-4-mhocko@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

Our reclaim process has several tracepoints to tell us more about how things are progressing. We are, however, missing a tracepoint to track active list aging. Introduce mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_active which reports the number of - nr_taken is number of isolated pages from the active list - nr_referenced pages which tells us that we are hitting referenced pages which are deactivated. If this is a large part of the reported nr_deactivated pages then we might be hitting into the active list too early because they might be still part of the working set. This might help to debug performance issues. - nr_active pages which tells us how many pages are kept on the active list - mostly exec file backed pages. A high number can indicate that we might be trashing on executables.

Patch series "vm, vmscan: enahance vmscan tracepoints", v2. While debugging [2] I've realized that there is some room for improvements in the tracepoints set we offer currently. I had hard times to make any conclusion from the existing ones. The resulting problem turned out to be active list aging [3] and we are missing at least two tracepoints to debug such a problem. Some existing tracepoints could export more information to see _why_ the reclaim progress cannot be made not only _how much_ we could reclaim. The later could be seen quite reasonably from the vmstat counters already. It can be argued that we are showing too many implementation details in those tracepoints but I consider them way too lowlevel already to be usable by any kernel independent userspace. I would be _really_ surprised if anything but debugging tools have used them. Any feedback is highly appreciated.

pmd_trans_unstable does an atomic read on the pmd so it doesn't require the pmd_lock for the same check. This also removes the special assumption that the mmap_sem is hold for writing if prot_numa is not set. userfaultfd will hold the mmap_sem only for reading in change_pte_range like prot_numa, but it will not set prot_numa. This is always a valid micro-optimization regardless of userfaultfd.

When userfaultfd hugetlbfs support was originally added, it followed the pattern of anon mappings and did not support any vmas marked VM_SHARED. As such, support was only added for private mappings. Remove this limitation and support shared mappings. The primary functional change required is adding pages to the page cache. More subtle changes are required for huge page reservation handling in error paths. A lengthy comment in the code describes the reservation handling.

Currently userfault relies on vma_is_anonymous and vma_is_hugetlb to ensure compatibility of a VMA with userfault. Introduction of vma_is_shmem allows detection if tmpfs backed VMAs, so that they may be used with userfaultfd. Current implementation presumes usage of vma_is_shmem only by slow path routines in userfaultfd, therefore the vma_is_shmem is not made inline to leave the few remaining free bits in vm_flags.
