The ia64 implementation pte_alloc_one(), pte_alloc_one_kernel(), pte_free_kernel() and pte_free() is identical to the generic except of lack of __GFP_ACCOUNT for the user PTEs allocation. Switch ia64 to use generic version of these functions. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1565250728-21721-3-git-send-email-rppt@linux.ibm.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "mm: remove quicklist page table caches". A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1]. I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to use generic versions of PTE allocation. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190711030339.20892-1-npiggin@gmail.com This patch (of 3): Remove page table allocator "quicklists". These have been around for a long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only used on ia64 and sh architectures. The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't apply anymore. If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator behaviour for minor archs. Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page allocator if this is still so slow.

In our testing (camera recording), Miguel and Wei found unmap_page_range() takes above 6ms with preemption disabled easily. When I see that, the reason is it holds page table spinlock during entire 512 page operation in a PMD. 6.2ms is never trivial for user experince if RT task couldn't run in the time because it could make frame drop or glitch audio problem. I had a time to benchmark it via adding some trace_printk hooks between pte_offset_map_lock and pte_unmap_unlock in zap_pte_range. The testing device is 2018 premium mobile device. I can get 2ms delay rather easily to release 2M(ie, 512 pages) when the task runs on little core even though it doesn't have any IPI and LRU lock contention. It's already too heavy. If I remove activate_page, 35-40% overhead of zap_pte_range is gone so most of overhead(about 0.7ms) comes from activate_page via mark_page_accessed. Thus, if there are LRU contention, that 0.7ms could accumulate up to several ms. So this patch adds a check for need_resched() in the loop, and a preemption point if necessary.

[11~From: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> Subject: mm/gup: add make_dirty arg to put_user_pages_dirty_lock() Patch series "mm/gup: add make_dirty arg to put_user_pages_dirty_lock()", v3. There are about 50+ patches in my tree [2], and I'll be sending out the remaining ones in a few more groups: * The block/bio related changes (Jerome mostly wrote those, but I've had to move stuff around extensively, and add a little code) * mm/ changes * other subsystem patches * an RFC that shows the current state of the tracking patch set. That can only be applied after all call sites are converted, but it's good to get an early look at it. This is part a tree-wide conversion, as described in fc1d8e7c ("mm: introduce put_user_page*(), placeholder versions"). This patch (of 3): Provide more capable variation of put_user_pages_dirty_lock(), and delete put_user_pages_dirty(). This is based on the following: 1. Lots of call sites become simpler if a bool is passed into put_user_page*(), instead of making the call site choose which put_user_page*() variant to call. 2. Christoph Hellwig's observation that set_page_dirty_lock() is usually correct, and set_page_dirty() is usually a bug, or at least questionable, within a put_user_page*() calling chain. This leads to the following API choices: * put_user_pages_dirty_lock(page, npages, make_dirty) * There is no put_user_pages_dirty(). You have to hand code that, in the rare case that it's required.

One of our services observed a high rate of cgroup OOM kills in the presence of large amounts of clean cache. Debugging showed that the culprit is the shared cgroup iteration in page reclaim. Under high allocation concurrency, multiple threads enter reclaim at the same time. Fearing overreclaim when we first switched from the single global LRU to cgrouped LRU lists, we introduced a shared iteration state for reclaim invocations - whether 1 or 20 reclaimers are active concurrently, we only walk the cgroup tree once: the 1st reclaimer reclaims the first cgroup, the second the second one etc. With more reclaimers than cgroups, we start another walk from the top. This sounded reasonable at the time, but the problem is that reclaim concurrency doesn't scale with allocation concurrency. As reclaim concurrency increases, the amount of memory individual reclaimers get to scan gets smaller and smaller. Individual reclaimers may only see one cgroup per cycle, and that may not have much reclaimable memory. We see individual reclaimers declare OOM when there is plenty of reclaimable memory available in cgroups they didn't visit. This patch does away with the shared iterator, and every reclaimer is allowed to scan the full cgroup tree and see all of reclaimable memory, just like it would on a non-cgrouped system. This way, when OOM is declared, we know that the reclaimer actually had a chance. To still maintain fairness in reclaim pressure, disallow cgroup reclaim from bailing out of the tree walk early. Kswapd and regular direct reclaim already don't bail, so it's not clear why limit reclaim would have to, especially since it only walks subtrees to begin with. This change completely eliminates the OOM kills on our service, while showing no signs of overreclaim - no increased scan rates, %sys time, or abrupt free memory spikes. I tested across 100 machines that have 64G of RAM and host about 300 cgroups each. [ It's possible overreclaim never was a *practical* issue to begin with - it was simply a concern we had on the mailing lists at the time, with no real data to back it up. But we have also added more bail-out conditions deeper inside reclaim (e.g. the proportional exit in shrink_node_memcg) since. Regardless, now we have data that suggests full walks are more reliable and scale just fine. ] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190812192316.13615-1-hannes@cmpxchg.orgSigned-off-by:

Commit 72f0184c ("mm, memcg: remove hotplug locking from try_charge") introduced css_tryget()/css_put() calls in drain_all_stock(), which are supposed to protect the target memory cgroup from being released during the mem_cgroup_is_descendant() call. However, it's not completely safe. In theory, memcg can go away between reading stock->cached pointer and calling css_tryget(). This can happen if drain_all_stock() races with drain_local_stock() performed on the remote cpu as a result of a work, scheduled by the previous invocation of drain_all_stock(). The race is a bit theoretical and there are few chances to trigger it, but the current code looks a bit confusing, so it makes sense to fix it anyway. The code looks like as if css_tryget() and css_put() are used to protect stocks drainage. It's not necessary because stocked pages are holding references to the cached cgroup. And it obviously won't work for works, scheduled on other cpus. So, let's read the stock->cached pointer and evaluate the memory cgroup inside a rcu read section, and get rid of css_tryget()/css_put() calls.

We're trying to use memory.high to limit workloads, but have found that containment can frequently fail completely and cause OOM situations outside of the cgroup. This happens especially with swap space -- either when none is configured, or swap is full. These failures often also don't have enough warning to allow one to react, whether for a human or for a daemon monitoring PSI. Here is output from a simple program showing how long it takes in usec (column 2) to allocate a megabyte of anonymous memory (column 1) when a cgroup is already beyond its memory high setting, and no swap is available: [root@ktst ~]# systemd-run -p MemoryHigh=100M -p MemorySwapMax=1 \ > --wait -t timeout 300 /root/mdf [...] 95 1035 96 1038 97 1000 98 1036 99 1048 100 1590 101 1968 102 1776 103 1863 104 1757 105 1921 106 1893 107 1760 108 1748 109 1843 110 1716 111 1924 112 1776 113 1831 114 1766 115 1836 116 1588 117 1912 118 1802 119 1857 120 1731 [...] [System OOM in 2-3 seconds] The delay does go up extremely marginally past the 100MB memory.high threshold, as now we spend time scanning before returning to usermode, but it's nowhere near enough to contain growth. It also doesn't get worse the more pages you have, since it only considers nr_pages. The current situation goes against both the expectations of users of memory.high, and our intentions as cgroup v2 developers. In cgroup-v2.txt, we claim that we will throttle and only under "extreme conditions" will memory.high protection be breached. Likewise, cgroup v2 users generally also expect that memory.high should throttle workloads as they exceed their high threshold. However, as seen above, this isn't always how it works in practice -- even on banal setups like those with no swap, or where swap has become exhausted, we can end up with memory.high being breached and us having no weapons left in our arsenal to combat runaway growth with, since reclaim is futile. It's also hard for system monitoring software or users to tell how bad the situation is, as "high" events for the memcg may in some cases be benign, and in others be catastrophic. The current status quo is that we fail containment in a way that doesn't provide any advance warning that things are about to go horribly wrong (for example, we are about to invoke the kernel OOM killer). This patch introduces explicit throttling when reclaim is failing to keep memcg size contained at the memory.high setting. It does so by applying an exponential delay curve derived from the memcg's overage compared to memory.high. In the normal case where the memcg is either below or only marginally over its memory.high setting, no throttling will be performed. This composes well with system health monitoring and remediation, as these allocator delays are factored into PSI's memory pressure calculations. This both creates a mechanism system administrators or applications consuming the PSI interface to trivially see that the memcg in question is struggling and use that to make more reasonable decisions, and permits them enough time to act. Either of these can act with significantly more nuance than that we can provide using the system OOM killer. This is a similar idea to memory.oom_control in cgroup v1 which would put the cgroup to sleep if the threshold was violated, but it's also significantly improved as it results in visible memory pressure, and also doesn't schedule indefinitely, which previously made tracing and other introspection difficult (ie. it's clamped at 2*HZ per allocation through MEMCG_MAX_HIGH_DELAY_JIFFIES). Contrast the previous results with a kernel with this patch: [root@ktst ~]# systemd-run -p MemoryHigh=100M -p MemorySwapMax=1 \ > --wait -t timeout 300 /root/mdf [...] 95 1002 96 1000 97 1002 98 1003 99 1000 100 1043 101 84724 102 330628 103 610511 104 1016265 105 1503969 106 2391692 107 2872061 108 3248003 109 4791904 110 5759832 111 6912509 112 8127818 113 9472203 114 12287622 115 12480079 116 14144008 117 15808029 118 16384500 119 16383242 120 16384979 [...] As you can see, in the normal case, memory allocation takes around 1000 usec. However, as we exceed our memory.high, things start to increase exponentially, but fairly leniently at first. Our first megabyte over memory.high takes us 0.16 seconds, then the next is 0.46 seconds, then the next is almost an entire second. This gets worse until we reach our eventual 2*HZ clamp per batch, resulting in 16 seconds per megabyte. However, this is still making forward progress, so permits tracing or further analysis with programs like GDB. We use an exponential curve for our delay penalty for a few reasons: 1. We run mem_cgroup_handle_over_high to potentially do reclaim after we've already performed allocations, which means that temporarily going over memory.high by a small amount may be perfectly legitimate, even for compliant workloads. We don't want to unduly penalise such cases. 2. An exponential curve (as opposed to a static or linear delay) allows ramping up memory pressure stats more gradually, which can be useful to work out that you have set memory.high too low, without destroying application performance entirely. This patch expands on earlier work by Johannes Weiner. Thanks!

Functions like filemap_write_and_wait_range() should do nothing if inode has no dirty pages or pages currently under writeback. But they anyway construct struct writeback_control and this does some atomic operations if CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK=y - on fast path it locks inode->i_lock and updates state of writeback ownership, on slow path might be more work. Current this path is safely avoided only when inode mapping has no pages. For example generic_file_read_iter() calls filemap_write_and_wait_range() at each O_DIRECT read - pretty hot path. This patch skips starting new writeback if mapping has no dirty tags set. If writeback is already in progress filemap_write_and_wait_range() will wait for it.

The debug_pagealloc functionality is useful to catch buggy page allocator users that cause e.g. use after free or double free. When page inconsistency is detected, debugging is often simpler by knowing the call stack of process that last allocated and freed the page. When page_owner is also enabled, we record the allocation stack trace, but not freeing. This patch therefore adds recording of freeing process stack trace to page owner info, if both page_owner and debug_pagealloc are configured and enabled. With only page_owner enabled, this info is not useful for the memory leak debugging use case. dump_page() is adjusted to print the info. An example result of calling __free_pages() twice may look like this (note the page last free stack trace): BUG: Bad page state in process bash pfn:13d8f8 page:ffffc31984f63e00 refcount:-1 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 flags: 0x1affff800000000() raw: 01affff800000000 dead000000000100 dead000000000122 0000000000000000 raw: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 ffffffffffffffff 0000000000000000 page dumped because: nonzero _refcount page_owner tracks the page as freed page last allocated via order 0, migratetype Unmovable, gfp_mask 0xcc0(GFP_KERNEL) prep_new_page+0x143/0x150 get_page_from_freelist+0x289/0x380 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x13c/0x2d0 khugepaged+0x6e/0xc10 kthread+0xf9/0x130 ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50 page last free stack trace: free_pcp_prepare+0x134/0x1e0 free_unref_page+0x18/0x90 khugepaged+0x7b/0xc10 kthread+0xf9/0x130 ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50 Modules linked in: CPU: 3 PID: 271 Comm: bash Not tainted 5.3.0-rc4-2.g07a1a73-default+ #57 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.12.1-0-ga5cab58-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x85/0xc0 bad_page.cold+0xba/0xbf rmqueue_pcplist.isra.0+0x6c5/0x6d0 rmqueue+0x2d/0x810 get_page_from_freelist+0x191/0x380 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x13c/0x2d0 __get_free_pages+0xd/0x30 __pud_alloc+0x2c/0x110 copy_page_range+0x4f9/0x630 dup_mmap+0x362/0x480 dup_mm+0x68/0x110 copy_process+0x19e1/0x1b40 _do_fork+0x73/0x310 __x64_sys_clone+0x75/0x80 do_syscall_64+0x6e/0x1e0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe RIP: 0033:0x7f10af854a10 ...

For debugging purposes it might be useful to keep the owner info even after page has been freed, and include it in e.g. dump_page() when detecting a bad page state. For that, change the PAGE_EXT_OWNER flag meaning to "page owner info has been set at least once" and add new PAGE_EXT_OWNER_ACTIVE for tracking whether page is supposed to be currently tracked allocated or free. Adjust dump_page() accordingly, distinguishing free and allocated pages. In the page_owner debugfs file, keep printing only allocated pages so that existing scripts are not confused, and also because free pages are irrelevant for the memory statistics or leak detection that's the typical use case of the file, anyway.

Patch series "debug_pagealloc improvements through page_owner", v2. The debug_pagealloc functionality serves a similar purpose on the page allocator level that slub_debug does on the kmalloc level, which is to detect bad users. One notable feature that slub_debug has is storing stack traces of who last allocated and freed the object. On page level we track allocations via page_owner, but that info is discarded when freeing, and we don't track freeing at all. This series improves those aspects. With both debug_pagealloc and page_owner enabled, we can then get bug reports such as the example in Patch 4. SLUB debug tracking additionally stores cpu, pid and timestamp. This could be added later, if deemed useful enough to justify the additional page_ext structure size. This patch (of 3): Currently, page owner info is only recorded for the first page of a high-order allocation, and copied to tail pages in the event of a split page. With the plan to keep previous owner info after freeing the page, it would be benefical to record page owner for each subpage upon allocation. This increases the overhead for high orders, but that should be acceptable for a debugging option. The order stored for each subpage is the order of the whole allocation. This makes it possible to calculate the "head" pfn and to recognize "tail" pages (quoted because not all high-order allocations are compound pages with true head and tail pages). When reading the page_owner debugfs file, keep skipping the "tail" pages so that stats gathered by existing scripts don't get inflated.

In several places we need to be able to operate on pointers which have gone via a roundtrip: virt -> {phys,page} -> virt With KASAN_SW_TAGS, we can't preserve the tag for SLUB objects, and the {phys,page} -> virt conversion will use KASAN_TAG_KERNEL. This patch adds tests to ensure that this works as expected, without false positives which have recently been spotted [1,2] in testing.

Add memory corruption identification at bug report for software tag-based mode. The report shows whether it is "use-after-free" or "out-of-bound" error instead of "invalid-access" error. This will make it easier for programmers to see the memory corruption problem. We extend the slab to store five old free pointer tag and free backtrace, we can check if the tagged address is in the slab record and make a good guess if the object is more like "use-after-free" or "out-of-bound". therefore every slab memory corruption can be identified whether it's "use-after-free" or "out-of-bound".

There are some machines with slow disk and fast CPUs. When they are under memory pressure, it could take a long time to swap before the OOM kicks in to free up some memory. As the results, it needs a large mem pool for kmemleak or suffering from higher chance of a kmemleak metadata allocation failure. 524288 proves to be the good number for all architectures here. Increase the upper bound to 1M to leave some room for the future. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1565807572-26041-1-git-send-email-cai@lca.pwSigned-off-by:

The only way to obtain the current memory pool size for a running kernel is to check the kernel config file which is inconvenient. Record it in the kernel messages.

Currently kmemleak uses a static early_log buffer to trace all memory allocation/freeing before the slab allocator is initialised. Such early log is replayed during kmemleak_init() to properly initialise the kmemleak metadata for objects allocated up that point. With a memory pool that does not rely on the slab allocator, it is possible to skip this early log entirely. In order to remove the early logging, consider kmemleak_enabled == 1 by default while the kmem_cache availability is checked directly on the object_cache and scan_area_cache variables. The RCU callback is only invoked after object_cache has been initialised as we wouldn't have any concurrent list traversal before this. In order to reduce the number of callbacks before kmemleak is fully initialised, move the kmemleak_init() call to mm_init().

Add a memory pool for struct kmemleak_object in case the normal kmem_cache_alloc() fails under the gfp constraints passed by the caller. The mem_pool[] array size is currently fixed at 16000. We are not using the existing mempool kernel API since this requires the slab allocator to be available (for pool->elements allocation). A subsequent kmemleak patch will replace the static early log buffer with the pool allocation introduced here and this functionality is required to be available before the slab was initialised.

Patch series "mm: kmemleak: Use a memory pool for kmemleak object allocations", v3. Following the discussions on v2 of this patch(set) [1], this series takes slightly different approach: - it implements its own simple memory pool that does not rely on the slab allocator - drops the early log buffer logic entirely since it can now allocate metadata from the memory pool directly before kmemleak is fully initialised - CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_EARLY_LOG_SIZE option is renamed to CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_MEM_POOL_SIZE - moves the kmemleak_init() call earlier (mm_init()) - to avoid a separate memory pool for struct scan_area, it makes the tool robust when such allocations fail as scan areas are rather an optimisation [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190727132334.9184-1-catalin.marinas@arm.com This patch (of 3): Object scan areas are an optimisation aimed to decrease the false positives and slightly improve the scanning time of large objects known to only have a few specific pointers. If a struct scan_area fails to allocate, kmemleak can still function normally by scanning the full object. Introduce an OBJECT_FULL_SCAN flag and mark objects as such when scan_area allocation fails.

The current default value (400) is too low on many systems (e.g. some ARM64 platform takes up 1000+ entries). syzbot uses 16000 as default value, and has proved to be enough on beefy configurations, so let's pick that value. This consumes more RAM on boot (each entry is 160 bytes, so in total ~2.5MB of RAM), but the memory would later be freed (early_log is __initdata).

The memcg_cache_params structure is only embedded into the kmem_cache of slab and slub allocators as defined in slab_def.h and slub_def.h and used internally by mm code. There is no needed to expose it in a public header. So move it from include/linux/slab.h to mm/slab.h. It is just a refactoring patch with no code change. In fact both the slub_def.h and slab_def.h should be moved into the mm directory as well, but that will probably cause many merge conflicts.

Currently, a value of '1" is written to /sys/kernel/slab/<slab>/shrink file to shrink the slab by flushing out all the per-cpu slabs and free slabs in partial lists. This can be useful to squeeze out a bit more memory under extreme condition as well as making the active object counts in /proc/slabinfo more accurate. This usually applies only to the root caches, as the SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON option is usually not enabled and "slub_memcg_sysfs=1" not set. Even if memcg sysfs is turned on, it is too cumbersome and impractical to manage all those per-memcg sysfs files in a real production system. So there is no practical way to shrink memcg caches. Fix this by enabling a proper write to the shrink sysfs file of the root cache to scan all the available memcg caches and shrink them as well. For a non-root memcg cache (when SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON or slub_memcg_sysfs is on), only that cache will be shrunk when written. On a 2-socket 64-core 256-thread arm64 system with 64k page after a parallel kernel build, the the amount of memory occupied by slabs before shrinking slabs were: # grep task_struct /proc/slabinfo task_struct 53137 53192 4288 61 4 : tunables 0 0 0 : slabdata 872 872 0 # grep "^S[lRU]" /proc/meminfo Slab: 3936832 kB SReclaimable: 399104 kB SUnreclaim: 3537728 kB After shrinking slabs (by echoing "1" to all shrink files): # grep "^S[lRU]" /proc/meminfo Slab: 1356288 kB SReclaimable: 263296 kB SUnreclaim: 1092992 kB # grep task_struct /proc/slabinfo task_struct 2764 6832 4288 61 4 : tunables 0 0 0 : slabdata 112 112 0 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190723151445.7385-1-longman@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

Appending truncate log(TA) and and flushing truncate log(TF) are two separated transactions. They can be both committed but not checkpointed. If crash occurs then, both transaction will be replayed with several already released to global bitmap clusters. Then truncate log will be replayed resulting in cluster double free. To reproduce this issue, just crash the host while punching hole to files. Signed-off-by:
