Extend move_pages() to handle vma with VM_HUGETLB set. We will be able to migrate hugepage with move_pages(2) after applying the enablement patch which comes later in this series. We avoid getting refcount on tail pages of hugepage, because unlike thp, hugepage is not split and we need not care about races with splitting. And migration of larger (1GB for x86_64) hugepage are not enabled. Signed-off-by:

Extend check_range() to handle vma with VM_HUGETLB set. We will be able to migrate hugepage with migrate_pages(2) after applying the enablement patch which comes later in this series. Note that for larger hugepages (covered by pud entries, 1GB for x86_64 for example), we simply skip it now. Note that using pmd_huge/pud_huge assumes that hugepages are pointed to by pmd/pud. This is not true in some architectures implementing hugepage with other mechanisms like ia64, but it's OK because pmd_huge/pud_huge simply return 0 in such arch and page walker simply ignores such hugepages.

Currently migrate_huge_page() takes a pointer to a hugepage to be migrated as an argument, instead of taking a pointer to the list of hugepages to be migrated. This behavior was introduced in commit 189ebff2 ("hugetlb: simplify migrate_huge_page()"), and was OK because until now hugepage migration is enabled only for soft-offlining which migrates only one hugepage in a single call. But the situation will change in the later patches in this series which enable other users of page migration to support hugepage migration. They can kick migration for both of normal pages and hugepages in a single call, so we need to go back to original implementation which uses linked lists to collect the hugepages to be migrated. With this patch, soft_offline_huge_page() switches to use migrate_pages(), and migrate_huge_page() is not used any more. So let's remove it. Signed-off-by:

Currently hugepage migration is available only for soft offlining, but it's also useful for some other users of page migration (clearly because users of hugepage can enjoy the benefit of mempolicy and memory hotplug.) So this patchset tries to extend such users to support hugepage migration. The target of this patchset is to enable hugepage migration for NUMA related system calls (migrate_pages(2), move_pages(2), and mbind(2)), and memory hotplug. This patchset does not add hugepage migration for memory compaction, because users of memory compaction mainly expect to construct thp by arranging raw pages, and there's little or no need to compact hugepages. CMA, another user of page migration, can have benefit from hugepage migration, but is not enabled to support it for now (just because of lack of testing and expertise in CMA.) Hugepage migration of non pmd-based hugepage (for example 1GB hugepage in x86_64, or hugepages in architectures like ia64) is not enabled for now (again, because of lack of testing.) As for how these are achived, I extended the API (migrate_pages()) to handle hugepage (with patch 1 and 2) and adjusted code of each caller to check and collect movable hugepages (with patch 3-7). Remaining 2 patches are kind of miscellaneous ones to avoid unexpected behavior. Patch 8 is about making sure that we only migrate pmd-based hugepages. And patch 9 is about choosing appropriate zone for hugepage allocation. My test is mainly functional one, simply kicking hugepage migration via each entry point and confirm that migration is done correctly. Test code is available here: git://github.com/Naoya-Horiguchi/test_hugepage_migration_extension.git And I always run libhugetlbfs test when changing hugetlbfs's code. With this patchset, no regression was found in the test. This patch (of 9): Before enabling each user of page migration to support hugepage, this patch enables the list of pages for migration to link not only LRU pages, but also hugepages. As a result, putback_movable_pages() and migrate_pages() can handle both of LRU pages and hugepages. Signed-off-by:

If we fail with a reserved page, just calling put_page() is not sufficient, because put_page() invoke free_huge_page() at last step and it doesn't know whether a page comes from a reserved pool or not. So it doesn't do anything related to reserved count. This makes reserve count lower than how we need, because reserve count already decrease in dequeue_huge_page_vma(). This patch fix this situation.

lock_device_hotplug() serializes hotplug & online/offline operations. The lock is held in common sysfs online/offline interfaces and ACPI hotplug code paths. And here are the code paths: - CPU & Mem online/offline via sysfs online store_online()->lock_device_hotplug() - Mem online via sysfs state: store_mem_state()->lock_device_hotplug() - ACPI CPU & Mem hot-add: acpi_scan_bus_device_check()->lock_device_hotplug() - ACPI CPU & Mem hot-delete: acpi_scan_hot_remove()->lock_device_hotplug() try_offline_node() off-lines a node if all memory sections and cpus are removed on the node. It is called from acpi_processor_remove() and acpi_memory_remove_memory()->remove_memory() paths, both of which are in the ACPI hotplug code. try_offline_node() calls stop_machine() to stop all cpus while checking all cpu status with the assumption that the caller is not protected from CPU hotplug or CPU online/offline operations. However, the caller is always serialized with lock_device_hotplug(). Also, the code needs to be properly serialized with a lock, not by stopping all cpus at a random place with stop_machine(). This patch removes the use of stop_machine() in try_offline_node() and adds comments to try_offline_node() and remove_memory() that lock_device_hotplug() is required. Signed-off-by:

add_memory() and remove_memory() can only handle a memory range aligned with section. There are problems when an unaligned range is added and then deleted as follows: - add_memory() with an unaligned range succeeds, but __add_pages() called from add_memory() adds a whole section of pages even though a given memory range is less than the section size. - remove_memory() to the added unaligned range hits BUG_ON() in __remove_pages(). This patch changes add_memory() and remove_memory() to check if a given memory range is aligned with section at the beginning. As the result, add_memory() fails with -EINVAL when a given range is unaligned, and does not add such memory range. This prevents remove_memory() to be called with an unaligned range as well. Note that remove_memory() has to use BUG_ON() since this function cannot fail. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: avoid printk warnings] Signed-off-by:

This helps performance on moderately dense random reads on SSD. Transaction-Per-Second numbers provided by Taobao: QPS case ------------------------------------------------------- 7536 disable context readahead totally w/ patch: 7129 slower size rampup and start RA on the 3rd read 6717 slower size rampup w/o patch: 5581 unmodified context readahead Before, readahead will be started whenever reading page N+1 when it happen to read N recently. After patch, we'll only start readahead when *three* random reads happen to access pages N, N+1, N+2. The probability of this happening is extremely low for pure random reads, unless they are very dense, which actually deserves some readahead. Also start with a smaller readahead window. The impact to interleaved sequential reads should be small, because for a long run stream, the the small readahead window rampup phase is negletable. The context readahead actually benefits clustered random reads on HDD whose seek cost is pretty high. However as SSD is increasingly used for random read workloads it's better for the context readahead to concentrate on interleaved sequential reads. Another SSD rand read test from Miao # file size: 2GB # read IO amount: 625MB sysbench --test=fileio \ --max-requests=10000 \ --num-threads=1 \ --file-num=1 \ --file-block-size=64K \ --file-test-mode=rndrd \ --file-fsync-freq=0 \ --file-fsync-end=off run shows the performance of btrfs grows up from 69MB/s to 121MB/s, ext4 from 104MB/s to 121MB/s.

In struct gen_pool_chunk, end_addr means the end address of memory chunk (inclusive), but in the implementation it is treated as address + size of memory chunk (exclusive), so it points to the address plus one instead of correct ending address. The ending address of memory chunk plus one will cause overflow on the memory chunk including the last address of memory map, e.g. when starting address is 0xFFF00000 and size is 0x100000 on 32bit machine, ending address will be 0x100000000. Use correct ending address like starting address + size - 1. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: add comment to struct gen_pool_chunk:end_addr] Signed-off-by:

The main idea behind this patchset is to reduce the vmstat update overhead by avoiding interrupt enable/disable and the use of per cpu atomics. This patch (of 3): It is better to have a separate folding function because refresh_cpu_vm_stats() also does other things like expire pages in the page allocator caches. If we have a separate function then refresh_cpu_vm_stats() is only called from the local cpu which allows additional optimizations. The folding function is only called when a cpu is being downed and therefore no other processor will be accessing the counters. Also simplifies synchronization.

We rarely allocate a page with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS and it is used in slow path. For helping compiler optimization, add unlikely macro to ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS checking. This patch doesn't have any effect now, because gcc already optimize this properly. But we cannot assume that gcc always does right and nobody re-evaluate if gcc do proper optimization with their change, for example, it is not optimized properly on v3.10. So adding compiler hint here is reasonable. Signed-off-by:

If a vma with VM_NORESERVE allocate a new page for page cache, we should check whether this area is reserved or not. If this address is already reserved by other process(in case of chg == 0), we should decrement reserve count, because this allocated page will go into page cache and currently, there is no way to know that this page comes from reserved pool or not when releasing inode. This may introduce over-counting problem to reserved count. With following example code, you can easily reproduce this situation. Assume 2MB, nr_hugepages = 100 size = 20 * MB; flag = MAP_SHARED; p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0); if (p == MAP_FAILED) { fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno)); return -1; } flag = MAP_SHARED | MAP_NORESERVE; q = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0); if (q == MAP_FAILED) { fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno)); } q[0] = 'c'; After finish the program, run 'cat /proc/meminfo'. You can see below result. HugePages_Free: 100 HugePages_Rsvd: 1 To fix this, we should check our mapping type and tracked region. If our mapping is VM_NORESERVE, VM_MAYSHARE and chg is 0, this imply that current allocated page will go into page cache which is already reserved region when mapping is created. In this case, we should decrease reserve count. As implementing above, this patch solve the problem.

If we map the region with MAP_NORESERVE and MAP_SHARED, we can skip to check reserve counting and eventually we cannot be ensured to allocate a huge page in fault time. With following example code, you can easily find this situation. Assume 2MB, nr_hugepages = 100 fd = hugetlbfs_unlinked_fd(); if (fd < 0) return 1; size = 200 * MB; flag = MAP_SHARED; p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0); if (p == MAP_FAILED) { fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno)); return -1; } size = 2 * MB; flag = MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED | MAP_HUGETLB | MAP_NORESERVE; p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, -1, 0); if (p == MAP_FAILED) { fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno)); } p[0] = '0'; sleep(10); During executing sleep(10), run 'cat /proc/meminfo' on another process. HugePages_Free: 99 HugePages_Rsvd: 100 Number of free should be higher or equal than number of reserve, but this aren't. This represent that non reserved shared mapping steal a reserved page. Non reserved shared mapping should not eat into reserve space. If we consider VM_NORESERVE in vma_has_reserve() and return 0 which mean that we don't have reserved pages, then we check that we have enough free pages in dequeue_huge_page_vma(). This prevent to steal a reserved page. With this change, above test generate a SIGBUG which is correct, because all free pages are reserved and non reserved shared mapping can't get a free page.

Currently, we use a page with mapped count 1 in page cache for cow optimization. If we find this condition, we don't allocate a new page and copy contents. Instead, we map this page directly. This may introduce a problem that writting to private mapping overwrite hugetlb file directly. You can find this situation with following code. size = 20 * MB; flag = MAP_SHARED; p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0); if (p == MAP_FAILED) { fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno)); return -1; } p[0] = 's'; fprintf(stdout, "BEFORE STEAL PRIVATE WRITE: %c\n", p[0]); munmap(p, size); flag = MAP_PRIVATE; p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0); if (p == MAP_FAILED) { fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno)); } p[0] = 'c'; munmap(p, size); flag = MAP_SHARED; p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0); if (p == MAP_FAILED) { fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno)); return -1; } fprintf(stdout, "AFTER STEAL PRIVATE WRITE: %c\n", p[0]); munmap(p, size); We can see that "AFTER STEAL PRIVATE WRITE: c", not "AFTER STEAL PRIVATE WRITE: s". If we turn off this optimization to a page in page cache, the problem is disappeared. So, I change the trigger condition of optimization. If this page is not AnonPage, we don't do optimization. This makes this optimization turning off for a page cache. 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).
