We clear the pte temporarily during read/modify/write update of the pte. If we take a page fault while the pte is cleared, the application can get SIGBUS. One such case is with remap_pfn_range without a backing vm_ops->fault callback. do_fault will return SIGBUS in that case. cpu 0 cpu1 mprotect() ptep_modify_prot_start()/pte cleared. . . page fault. . . prep_modify_prot_commit() Fix this by taking page table lock and rechecking for pte_none.

brk might be used to shrink memory mapping too other than munmap(). So, it may hold write mmap_sem for long time when shrinking large mapping, as what commit ("mm: mmap: zap pages with read mmap_sem in munmap") described. The brk() will not manipulate vmas anymore after __do_munmap() call for the mapping shrink use case. But, it may set mm->brk after __do_munmap(), which needs hold write mmap_sem. However, a simple trick can workaround this by setting mm->brk before __do_munmap(). Then restore the original value if __do_munmap() fails. With this trick, it is safe to downgrade to read mmap_sem. So, the same optimization, which downgrades mmap_sem to read for zapping pages, is also feasible and reasonable to this case. The period of holding exclusive mmap_sem for shrinking large mapping would be reduced significantly with this optimization.

MREMAP_FIXED and MREMAP_MAYMOVE are more complicated to adopt this optimization since they need manipulate vmas after do_munmap(), downgrading mmap_sem may create race window. Simple mapping shrink is the low hanging fruit, and it may cover the most cases of unmap with munmap together.

In order to reduce copy/paste of functions across architectures and then make riscv hugetlb port (and future ports) simpler and smaller, this patchset intends to factorize the numerous hugetlb primitives that are defined across all the architectures. Except for prepare_hugepage_range, this patchset moves the versions that are just pass-through to standard pte primitives into asm-generic/hugetlb.h by using the same #ifdef semantic that can be found in asm-generic/pgtable.h, i.e. __HAVE_ARCH_***. s390 architecture has not been tackled in this serie since it does not use asm-generic/hugetlb.h at all. This patchset has been compiled on all addressed architectures with success (except for parisc, but the problem does not come from this series). This patch (of 11): asm-generic/hugetlb.h proposes generic implementations of hugetlb related functions: use __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE* defines in order to make arch specific implementations of hugetlb functions consistent with pgtable.h scheme.

The local variable `addr' in __get_user_pages_fast() is just a shadow of `start'. Since `start' never changes after assignment to `addr', it is fine to replace `start' with it. Also the meaning of [start, end] is more obvious than [addr, end] when passed to gup_pgd_range(). Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180925021448.20265-1-richard.weiyang@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

The ZONE_DEVICE pages were being initialized in two locations. One was with the memory_hotplug lock held and another was outside of that lock. The problem with this is that it was nearly doubling the memory initialization time. Instead of doing this twice, once while holding a global lock and once without, I am opting to defer the initialization to the one outside of the lock. This allows us to avoid serializing the overhead for memory init and we can instead focus on per-node init times. One issue I encountered is that devm_memremap_pages and hmm_devmmem_pages_create were initializing only the pgmap field the same way. One wasn't initializing hmm_data, and the other was initializing it to a poison value. Since this is something that is exposed to the driver in the case of hmm I am opting for a third option and just initializing hmm_data to 0 since this is going to be exposed to unknown third party drivers.

It doesn't make much sense to use the atomic SetPageReserved at init time when we are using memset to clear the memory and manipulating the page flags via simple "&=" and "|=" operations in __init_single_page. This patch adds a non-atomic version __SetPageReserved that can be used during page init and shows about a 10% improvement in initialization times on the systems I have available for testing. On those systems I saw initialization times drop from around 35 seconds to around 32 seconds to initialize a 3TB block of persistent memory. I believe the main advantage of this is that it allows for more compiler optimization as the __set_bit operation can be reordered whereas the atomic version cannot. I tried adding a bit of documentation based on f1dd2cd1 ("mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate hotadded memory to zones until online"). Ideally the reserved flag should be set earlier since there is a brief window where the page is initialization via __init_single_page and we have not set the PG_Reserved flag. I'm leaving that for a future patch set as that will require a more significant refactor. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180925202018.3576.11607.stgit@localhost.localdomainSigned-off-by:

Patch series "Address issues slowing persistent memory initialization", v5. The main thing this patch set achieves is that it allows us to initialize each node worth of persistent memory independently. As a result we reduce page init time by about 2 minutes because instead of taking 30 to 40 seconds per node and going through each node one at a time, we process all 4 nodes in parallel in the case of a 12TB persistent memory setup spread evenly over 4 nodes. This patch (of 3): On systems with a large amount of memory it can take a significant amount of time to initialize all of the page structs with the PAGE_POISON_PATTERN value. I have seen it take over 2 minutes to initialize a system with over 12TB of RAM. In order to work around the issue I had to disable CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and then the boot time returned to something much more reasonable as the arch_add_memory call completed in milliseconds versus seconds. However in doing that I had to disable all of the other VM debugging on the system. In order to work around a kernel that might have CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled on a system that has a large amount of memory I have added a new kernel parameter named "vm_debug" that can be set to "-" in order to disable it.

This patch, as the previous one, gets rid of the wrong if statements. While at it, I realized that the comments are sometimes very confusing, to say the least, and wrong. For example: ___ zone_last = ZONE_MOVABLE; /* * check whether node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] will be changed * If we try to offline the last present @nr_pages from the node, * we can determind we will need to clear the node from * node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY]. */ for (; zt <= zone_last; zt++) present_pages += pgdat->node_zones[zt].present_pages; if (nr_pages >= present_pages) arg->status_change_nid = zone_to_nid(zone); else arg->status_change_nid = -1; ___ In case the node gets empry, it must be removed from N_MEMORY. We already check N_HIGH_MEMORY a bit above within the CONFIG_HIGHMEM ifdef code. Not to say that status_change_nid is for N_MEMORY, and not for N_HIGH_MEMORY. So I re-wrote some of the comments to what I think is better.

While looking at node_states_check_changes_online, I stumbled upon some confusing things. Right after entering the function, we find this: if (N_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY) zone_last = ZONE_MOVABLE; This is wrong. N_MEMORY cannot really be equal to N_NORMAL_MEMORY. My guess is that this wanted to be something like: if (N_NORMAL_MEMORY == N_HIGH_MEMORY) to check if we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM. Later on, in the CONFIG_HIGHMEM block, we have: if (N_MEMORY == N_HIGH_MEMORY) zone_last = ZONE_MOVABLE; Again, this is wrong, and will never be evaluated to true. Besides removing these wrong if statements, I simplified the function a bit.

In node_states_check_changes_online, we check if the node will have to be set for any of the N_*_MEMORY states after the pages have been onlined. Later on, we perform the activation in node_states_set_node. Currently, in node_states_set_node we set the node to N_MEMORY unconditionally. This means that we call node_set_state for N_MEMORY every time pages go online, but we only need to do it if the node has not yet been set for N_MEMORY. Fix this by checking status_change_nid.

Patch series "mm: zap pages with read mmap_sem in munmap for large mapping", v11. Background: Recently, when we ran some vm scalability tests on machines with large memory, we ran into a couple of mmap_sem scalability issues when unmapping large memory space, please refer to https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/14/733 and https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/20/576. History: Then akpm suggested to unmap large mapping section by section and drop mmap_sem at a time to mitigate it (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/6/784). V1 patch series was submitted to the mailing list per Andrew's suggestion (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/20/786). Then I received a lot great feedback and suggestions. Then this topic was discussed on LSFMM summit 2018. In the summit, Michal Hocko suggested (also in the v1 patches review) to try "two phases" approach. Zapping pages with read mmap_sem, then doing via cleanup with write mmap_sem (for discussion detail, see https://lwn.net/Articles/753269/) Approach: Zapping pages is the most time consuming part, according to the suggestion from Michal Hocko [1], zapping pages can be done with holding read mmap_sem, like what MADV_DONTNEED does. Then re-acquire write mmap_sem to cleanup vmas. But, we can't call MADV_DONTNEED directly, since there are two major drawbacks: * The unexpected state from PF if it wins the race in the middle of munmap. It may return zero page, instead of the content or SIGSEGV. * Can't handle VM_LOCKED | VM_HUGETLB | VM_PFNMAP and uprobe mappings, which is a showstopper from akpm But, some part may need write mmap_sem, for example, vma splitting. So, the design is as follows: acquire write mmap_sem lookup vmas (find and split vmas) deal with special mappings detach vmas downgrade_write zap pages free page tables release mmap_sem The vm events with read mmap_sem may come in during page zapping, but since vmas have been detached before, they, i.e. page fault, gup, etc, will not be able to find valid vma, then just return SIGSEGV or -EFAULT as expected. If the vma has VM_HUGETLB | VM_PFNMAP, they are considered as special mappings. They will be handled by falling back to regular do_munmap() with exclusive mmap_sem held in this patch since they may update vm flags. But, with the "detach vmas first" approach, the vmas have been detached when vm flags are updated, so it sounds safe to update vm flags with read mmap_sem for this specific case. So, VM_HUGETLB and VM_PFNMAP will be handled by using the optimized path in the following separate patches for bisectable sake. Unmapping uprobe areas may need update mm flags (MMF_RECALC_UPROBES). However it is fine to have false-positive MMF_RECALC_UPROBES according to uprobes developer. So, uprobe unmap will not be handled by the regular path. With the "detach vmas first" approach we don't have to re-acquire mmap_sem again to clean up vmas to avoid race window which might get the address space changed since downgrade_write() doesn't release the lock to lead regression, which simply downgrades to read lock. And, since the lock acquire/release cost is managed to the minimum and almost as same as before, the optimization could be extended to any size of mapping without incurring significant penalty to small mappings. For the time being, just do this in munmap syscall path. Other vm_munmap() or do_munmap() call sites (i.e mmap, mremap, etc) remain intact due to some implementation difficulties since they acquire write mmap_sem from very beginning and hold it until the end, do_munmap() might be called in the middle. But, the optimized do_munmap would like to be called without mmap_sem held so that we can do the optimization. So, if we want to do the similar optimization for mmap/mremap path, I'm afraid we would have to redesign them. mremap might be called on very large area depending on the usecases, the optimization to it will be considered in the future. This patch (of 3): When running some mmap/munmap scalability tests with large memory (i.e. > 300GB), the below hung task issue may happen occasionally.

When unmapping large mapping, it may take long time (take ~18 seconds to unmap 320GB mapping with every single page mapped on an idle machine). Zapping pages is the most time consuming part, according to the suggestion from Michal Hocko [1], zapping pages can be done with holding read mmap_sem, like what MADV_DONTNEED does.

But, with the "detach vmas first" approach, the vmas have been detached when vm flags are updated, so it sounds safe to update vm flags with read mmap_sem for this specific case. So, VM_HUGETLB and VM_PFNMAP will be handled by using the optimized path in the following separate patches for bisectable sake. Unmapping uprobe areas may need update mm flags (MMF_RECALC_UPROBES). However it is fine to have false-positive MMF_RECALC_UPROBES according to uprobes developer. With the "detach vmas first" approach we don't have to re-acquire mmap_sem again to clean up vmas to avoid race window which might get the address space changed since downgrade_write() doesn't release the lock to lead regression, which simply downgrades to read lock. And, since the lock acquire/release cost is managed to the minimum and almost as same as before, the optimization could be extended to any size of mapping without incurring significant penalty to small mappings. For the time being, just do this in munmap syscall path. Other vm_munmap() or do_munmap() call sites (i.e mmap, mremap, etc) remain intact due to some implementation difficulties since they acquire write mmap_sem from very beginning and hold it until the end, do_munmap() might be called in the middle. But, the optimized do_munmap would like to be called without mmap_sem held so that we can do the optimization. So, if we want to do the similar optimization for mmap/mremap path, I'm afraid we would have to redesign them. mremap might be called on very large area depending on the usecases, the optimization to it will be considered in the future. With the patches, exclusive mmap_sem hold time when munmap a 80GB address space on a machine with 32 cores of E5-2680 @ 2.70GHz dropped to us level from second. munmap_test-15002 [008] 594.380138: funcgraph_entry: | __vm_munmap() { munmap_test-15002 [008] 594.380146: funcgraph_entry: !2485684 us | unmap_region(); munmap_test-15002 [008] 596.865836: funcgraph_exit: !2485692 us | } Here the execution time of unmap_region() is used to evaluate the time of holding read mmap_sem, then the remaining time is used with holding exclusive lock.

should_suppress_show_mem() was introduced to reduce the overhead of show_mem on large NUMA systems. Things have changed since then though. Namely c78e9363 ("mm: do not walk all of system memory during show_mem") has reduced the overhead considerably. Moreover warn_alloc_show_mem clears SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES when called from the IRQ context already so we are not printing per node stats. Remove should_suppress_show_mem because we are losing potentially interesting information about allocation failures. We have seen a bug report where system gets unresponsive under memory pressure and there is only kernel: [2032243.696888] qlge 0000:8b:00.1 ql1: Could not get a page chunk, i=8, clean_idx =200 . kernel: [2032243.710725] swapper/7: page allocation failure: order:1, mode:0x1084120(GFP_ATOMIC|__GFP_COLD|__GFP_COMP) without an additional information for debugging.

The refault stats go better with the page fault stats, and are of higher interest than the stats on LRU operations. In fact they used to be grouped together; when the LRU operation stats were added later on, they were wedged in between. Move them back together. Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst already lists them in the right order. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181010140239.GA2527@cmpxchg.orgSigned-off-by:

The page cache and most shrinkable slab caches hold data that has been read from disk, but there are some caches that only cache CPU work, such as the dentry and inode caches of procfs and sysfs, as well as the subset of radix tree nodes that track non-resident page cache. Currently, all these are shrunk at the same rate: using DEFAULT_SEEKS for the shrinker's seeks setting tells the reclaim algorithm that for every two page cache pages scanned it should scan one slab object. This is a bogus setting. A virtual inode that required no IO to create is not twice as valuable as a page cache page; shadow cache entries with eviction distances beyond the size of memory aren't either. In most cases, the behavior in practice is still fine. Such virtual caches don't tend to grow and assert themselves aggressively, and usually get picked up before they cause problems. But there are scenarios where that's not true. Our database workloads suffer from two of those. For one, their file workingset is several times bigger than available memory, which has the kernel aggressively create shadow page cache entries for the non-resident parts of it. The workingset code does tell the VM that most of these are expendable, but the VM ends up balancing them 2:1 to cache pages as per the seeks setting. This is a huge waste of memory. These workloads also deal with tens of thousands of open files and use /proc for introspection, which ends up growing the proc_inode_cache to absurdly large sizes - again at the cost of valuable cache space, which isn't a reasonable trade-off, given that proc inodes can be re-created without involving the disk. This patch implements a "zero-seek" setting for shrinkers that results in a target ratio of 0:1 between their objects and IO-backed caches. This allows such virtual caches to grow when memory is available (they do cache/avoid CPU work after all), but effectively disables them as soon as IO-backed objects are under pressure. It then switches the shrinkers for procfs and sysfs metadata, as well as excess page cache shadow nodes, to the new zero-seek setting.

On a system that executes multiple cgrouped jobs and independent workloads, we don't just care about the health of the overall system, but also that of individual jobs, so that we can ensure individual job health, fairness between jobs, or prioritize some jobs over others. This patch implements pressure stall tracking for cgroups. In kernels with CONFIG_PSI=y, cgroup2 groups will have cpu.pressure, memory.pressure, and io.pressure files that track aggregate pressure stall times for only the tasks inside the cgroup.
