If there's contention on slab_mutex, queueing the per-cache destruction work item on the system_wq can unnecessarily create and tie up a lot of kworkers. Rename memcg_kmem_cache_create_wq to memcg_kmem_cache_wq and make it global and use that workqueue for the destruction work items too. While at it, convert the workqueue from an unbound workqueue to a per-cpu one with concurrency limited to 1. It's generally preferable to use per-cpu workqueues and concurrency limit of 1 is safe enough. This is suggested by Joonsoo Kim.

With kmem cgroup support enabled, kmem_caches can be created and destroyed frequently and a great number of near empty kmem_caches can accumulate if there are a lot of transient cgroups and the system is not under memory pressure. When memory reclaim starts under such conditions, it can lead to consecutive deactivation and destruction of many kmem_caches, easily hundreds of thousands on moderately large systems, exposing scalability issues in the current slab management code. This is one of the patches to address the issue. Each cache has a number of sysfs interface files under /sys/kernel/slab. On a system with a lot of memory and transient memcgs, the number of interface files which have to be removed once memory reclaim kicks in can reach millions.

When memory reclaim starts under such conditions, it can lead to consecutive deactivation and destruction of many kmem_caches, easily hundreds of thousands on moderately large systems, exposing scalability issues in the current slab management code. This is one of the patches to address the issue. slub uses synchronize_sched() to deactivate a memcg cache. synchronize_sched() is an expensive and slow operation and doesn't scale when a huge number of caches are destroyed back-to-back. While there used to be a simple batching mechanism, the batching was too restricted to be helpful. This patch implements slab_deactivate_memcg_cache_rcu_sched() which slub can use to schedule sched RCU callback instead of performing synchronize_sched() synchronously while holding cgroup_mutex. While this adds online cpus, mems and slab_mutex operations, operating on these locks back-to-back from the same kworker, which is what's gonna happen when there are many to deactivate, isn't expensive at all and this gets rid of the scalability problem completely.

__kmem_cache_shrink() is called with %true @deactivate only for memcg caches. Remove @deactivate from __kmem_cache_shrink() and introduce __kmemcg_cache_deactivate() instead. Each memcg-supporting allocator should implement it and it should deactivate and drain the cache. This is to allow memcg cache deactivation behavior to further deviate from simple shrinking without messing up __kmem_cache_shrink(). This is pure reorganization and doesn't introduce any observable behavior changes. v2: Dropped unnecessary ifdef in mm/slab.h as suggested by Vladimir.

When memory reclaim starts under such conditions, it can lead to consecutive deactivation and destruction of many kmem_caches, easily hundreds of thousands on moderately large systems, exposing scalability issues in the current slab management code. This is one of the patches to address the issue. slab_caches currently lists all caches including root and memcg ones. This is the only data structure which lists the root caches and iterating root caches can only be done by walking the list while skipping over memcg caches. As there can be a huge number of memcg caches, this can become very expensive. This also can make /proc/slabinfo behave very badly. seq_file processes reads in 4k chunks and seeks to the previous Nth position on slab_caches list to resume after each chunk. With a lot of memcg cache churns on the list, reading /proc/slabinfo can become very slow and its content often ends up with duplicate and/or missing entries. This patch adds a new list slab_root_caches which lists only the root caches. When memcg is not enabled, it becomes just an alias of slab_caches. memcg specific list operations are collected into memcg_[un]link_cache().

When memory reclaim starts under such conditions, it can lead to consecutive deactivation and destruction of many kmem_caches, easily hundreds of thousands on moderately large systems, exposing scalability issues in the current slab management code. This is one of the patches to address the issue. While a memcg kmem_cache is listed on its root cache's ->children list, there is no direct way to iterate all kmem_caches which are assocaited with a memory cgroup. The only way to iterate them is walking all caches while filtering out caches which don't match, which would be most of them. This makes memcg destruction operations O(N^2) where N is the total number of slab caches which can be huge. This combined with the synchronous RCU operations can tie up a CPU and affect the whole machine for many hours when memory reclaim triggers offlining and destruction of the stale memcgs. This patch adds mem_cgroup->kmem_caches list which goes through memcg_cache_params->kmem_caches_node of all kmem_caches which are associated with the memcg. All memcg specific iterations, including stat file access, are updated to use the new list instead. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170117235411.9408-6-tj@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

We're going to change how memcg caches are iterated. In preparation, clean up and reorganize memcg_cache_params. * The shared ->list is replaced by ->children in root and ->children_node in children. * ->is_root_cache is removed. Instead ->root_cache is moved out of the child union and now used by both root and children. NULL indicates root cache. Non-NULL a memcg one. This patch doesn't cause any observable behavior changes.

This is one of the patches to address the issue. SLAB_DESTORY_BY_RCU caches need to flush all RCU operations before destruction because slab pages are freed through RCU and they need to be able to dereference the associated kmem_cache. Currently, it's done synchronously with rcu_barrier(). As rcu_barrier() is expensive time-wise, slab implements a batching mechanism so that rcu_barrier() can be done for multiple caches at the same time. Unfortunately, the rcu_barrier() is in synchronous path which is called while holding cgroup_mutex and the batching is too limited to be actually helpful. This patch updates the cache release path so that the batching is asynchronous and global. All SLAB_DESTORY_BY_RCU caches are queued globally and a work item consumes the list. The work item calls rcu_barrier() only once for all caches that are currently queued. * release_caches() is removed and shutdown_cache() now either directly release the cache or schedules a RCU callback to do that. This makes the cache inaccessible once shutdown_cache() is called and makes it impossible for shutdown_memcg_caches() to do memcg-specific cleanups afterwards. Move memcg-specific part into a helper, unlink_memcg_cache(), and make shutdown_cache() call it directly. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170117235411.9408-4-tj@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

Separate out slub sysfs removal and release, and call the former earlier from __kmem_cache_shutdown(). There's no reason to defer sysfs removal through RCU and this will later allow us to remove sysfs files way earlier during memory cgroup offline instead of release.

Patch series "slab: make memcg slab destruction scalable", v3. With kmem cgroup support enabled, kmem_caches can be created and destroyed frequently and a great number of near empty kmem_caches can accumulate if there are a lot of transient cgroups and the system is not under memory pressure. When memory reclaim starts under such conditions, it can lead to consecutive deactivation and destruction of many kmem_caches, easily hundreds of thousands on moderately large systems, exposing scalability issues in the current slab management code. I've seen machines which end up with hundred thousands of caches and many millions of kernfs_nodes. The current code is O(N^2) on the total number of caches and has synchronous rcu_barrier() and synchronize_sched() in cgroup offline / release path which is executed while holding cgroup_mutex. Combined, this leads to very expensive and slow cache destruction operations which can easily keep running for half a day. This also messes up /proc/slabinfo along with other cache iterating operations. seq_file operates on 4k chunks and on each 4k boundary tries to seek to the last position in the list. With a huge number of caches on the list, this becomes very slow and very prone to the list content changing underneath it leading to a lot of missing and/or duplicate entries. This patchset addresses the scalability problem. * Add root and per-memcg lists. Update each user to use the appropriate list. * Make rcu_barrier() for SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU caches globally batched and asynchronous. * For dying empty slub caches, remove the sysfs files after deactivation so that we don't end up with millions of sysfs files without any useful information on them. This patchset contains the following nine patches. 0001-Revert-slub-move-synchronize_sched-out-of-slab_mutex.patch 0002-slub-separate-out-sysfs_slab_release-from-sysfs_slab.patch 0003-slab-remove-synchronous-rcu_barrier-call-in-memcg-ca.patch 0004-slab-reorganize-memcg_cache_params.patch 0005-slab-link-memcg-kmem_caches-on-their-associated-memo.patch 0006-slab-implement-slab_root_caches-list.patch 0007-slab-introduce-__kmemcg_cache_deactivate.patch 0008-slab-remove-synchronous-synchronize_sched-from-memcg.patch 0009-slab-remove-slub-sysfs-interface-files-early-for-emp.patch 0010-slab-use-memcg_kmem_cache_wq-for-slab-destruction-op.patch 0001 reverts an existing optimization to prepare for the following changes. 0002 is a prep patch. 0003 makes rcu_barrier() in release path batched and asynchronous. 0004-0006 separate out the lists. 0007-0008 replace synchronize_sched() in slub destruction path with call_rcu_sched(). 0009 removes sysfs files early for empty dying caches. 0010 makes destruction work items use a workqueue with limited concurrency. This patch (of 10): Revert 89e364db ("slub: move synchronize_sched out of slab_mutex on shrink"). With kmem cgroup support enabled, kmem_caches can be created and destroyed frequently and a great number of near empty kmem_caches can accumulate if there are a lot of transient cgroups and the system is not under memory pressure. When memory reclaim starts under such conditions, it can lead to consecutive deactivation and destruction of many kmem_caches, easily hundreds of thousands on moderately large systems, exposing scalability issues in the current slab management code. This is one of the patches to address the issue. Moving synchronize_sched() out of slab_mutex isn't enough as it's still inside cgroup_mutex. The whole deactivation / release path will be updated to avoid all synchronous RCU operations. Revert this insufficient optimization in preparation to ease future changes.

SLAB as part of its bootstrap pre-creates one kmalloc cache that can fit the kmem_cache_node management structure, and puts it into the generic kmalloc cache array (e.g. for 128b objects). The name of this cache is "kmalloc-node", which is confusing for readers of /proc/slabinfo as the cache is used for generic allocations (and not just the kmem_cache_node struct) and it appears as the kmalloc-128 cache is missing. An easy solution is to use the kmalloc-<size> name when pre-creating the cache, which we can get from the kmalloc_info array. Example /proc/slabinfo before the patch: ... kmalloc-256 1647 1984 256 16 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 124 124 828 kmalloc-192 1974 1974 192 21 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 94 94 133 kmalloc-96 1332 1344 128 32 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 42 42 219 kmalloc-64 2505 5952 64 64 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 93 93 715 kmalloc-32 4278 4464 32 124 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 36 36 346 kmalloc-node 1352 1376 128 32 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 43 43 53 kmem_cache 132 147 192 21 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 7 7 0 After the patch: ... kmalloc-256 1672 2160 256 16 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 135 135 807 kmalloc-192 1992 2016 192 21 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 96 96 203 kmalloc-96 1159 1184 128 32 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 37 37 116 kmalloc-64 2561 4864 64 64 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 76 76 785 kmalloc-32 4253 4340 32 124 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 35 35 270 kmalloc-128 1256 1280 128 32 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 40 40 39 kmem_cache 125 147 192 21 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 7 7 0 [vbabka@suse.cz: export the whole kmalloc_info structure instead of just a name accessor, per Christoph Lameter] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/54e80303-b814-4232-66d4-95b34d3eb9d0@suse.cz Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170203181008.24898-1-vbabka@suse.czSigned-off-by:

In case CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON=n, find_mergeable() gets debug features from commandline but never checks if there are features from the SLAB_NEVER_MERGE set. As a result selected by slub_debug caches are always mergeable if they have been created without a custom constructor set or without one of the SLAB_* debug features on. This moves the SLAB_NEVER_MERGE check below the flags update from commandline to make sure it won't merge the slab cache if one of the debug features is on.

When CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 is enabled, the socket containing the boot cpu can be replaced. During the hot add event, the message NMI watchdog: enabled on all CPUs, permanently consumes one hw-PMU counter. is output implying that the NMI watchdog was disabled at some point. This is not the case and the message has caused confusion for users of systems that support the removal of the boot cpu socket. The watchdog code is coded to assume that cpu 0 is always the first cpu to initialize the watchdog, and the last to stop its watchdog thread. That is not the case for initializing if cpu 0 has been removed and added. The removal case has never been correct because the smpboot code will remove the watchdog threads starting with the lowest cpu number. This patch adds watchdog_cpus to track the number of cpus with active NMI watchdog threads so that the first and last thread can be used to set and clear the value of firstcpu_err. firstcpu_err is set when the first watchdog thread is enabled, and cleared when the last watchdog thread is disabled.

Commit 743b5f14 ("ocfs2: take inode lock in ocfs2_iop_set/get_acl()") results in a deadlock, as the author "Tariq Saeed" realized shortly after the patch was merged. The discussion happened here https://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-devel/2015-September/011085.html The reason why taking cluster inode lock at vfs entry points opens up a self deadlock window, is explained in the previous patch of this series. So far, we have seen two different code paths that have this issue. 1. do_sys_open may_open inode_permission ocfs2_permission ocfs2_inode_lock() <=== take PR generic_permission get_acl ocfs2_iop_get_acl ocfs2_inode_lock() <=== take PR 2. fchmod|fchmodat chmod_common notify_change ocfs2_setattr <=== take EX posix_acl_chmod get_acl ocfs2_iop_get_acl <=== take PR ocfs2_iop_set_acl <=== take EX Fixes them by adding the tracking logic (in the previous patch) for these funcs above, ocfs2_permission(), ocfs2_iop_[set|get]_acl(), ocfs2_setattr().

We are in the situation that we have to avoid recursive cluster locking, but there is no way to check if a cluster lock has been taken by a precess already. Mostly, we can avoid recursive locking by writing code carefully. However, we found that it's very hard to handle the routines that are invoked directly by vfs code. For instance: const struct inode_operations ocfs2_file_iops = { .permission = ocfs2_permission, .get_acl = ocfs2_iop_get_acl, .set_acl = ocfs2_iop_set_acl, }; Both ocfs2_permission() and ocfs2_iop_get_acl() call ocfs2_inode_lock(PR): do_sys_open may_open inode_permission ocfs2_permission ocfs2_inode_lock() <=== first time generic_permission get_acl ocfs2_iop_get_acl ocfs2_inode_lock() <=== recursive one A deadlock will occur if a remote EX request comes in between two of ocfs2_inode_lock(). Briefly describe how the deadlock is formed: On one hand, OCFS2_LOCK_BLOCKED flag of this lockres is set in BAST(ocfs2_generic_handle_bast) when downconvert is started on behalf of the remote EX lock request. Another hand, the recursive cluster lock (the second one) will be blocked in in __ocfs2_cluster_lock() because of OCFS2_LOCK_BLOCKED. But, the downconvert never complete, why? because there is no chance for the first cluster lock on this node to be unlocked - we block ourselves in the code path. The idea to fix this issue is mostly taken from gfs2 code. 1. introduce a new field: struct ocfs2_lock_res.l_holders, to keep track of the processes' pid who has taken the cluster lock of this lock resource; 2. introduce a new flag for ocfs2_inode_lock_full: OCFS2_META_LOCK_GETBH; it means just getting back disk inode bh for us if we've got cluster lock. 3. export a helper: ocfs2_is_locked_by_me() is used to check if we have got the cluster lock in the upper code path. The tracking logic should be used by some of the ocfs2 vfs's callbacks, to solve the recursive locking issue cuased by the fact that vfs routines can call into each other. The performance penalty of processing the holder list should only be seen at a few cases where the tracking logic is used, such as get/set acl. You may ask what if the first time we got a PR lock, and the second time we want a EX lock? fortunately, this case never happens in the real world, as far as I can see, including permission check, (get|set)_(acl|attr), and the gfs2 code also do so.

Currently the tools/vm Makefile has a rather arbitrary implicit build rule; page-types is the first value in TARGETS so lets just build that one! Additionally there is no install rule and this is needed for make -C tools vm_install to work properly. Provide a more sensible implicit build rule and a new install rule. Note that the variables names used by the install rule (DESTDIR and sbindir) are copied from prior-art in tools/power/cpupower.

Instead of passing in multiple parameters in the pmd_fault() handler, a vmf can be passed in just like a fault() handler. This will simplify code and remove the need for the actual pmd fault handlers to allocate a vmf. Related functions are also modified to do the same.

Tracepoints are the standard way to capture debugging and tracing information in many parts of the kernel, including the XFS and ext4 filesystems. Create a tracepoint header for FS DAX and add the first DAX tracepoints to the PMD fault handler. This allows the tracing for DAX to be done in the same way as the filesystem tracing so that developers can look at them together and get a coherent idea of what the system is doing. I added both an entry and exit tracepoint because future patches will add tracepoints to child functions of dax_iomap_pmd_fault() like dax_pmd_load_hole() and dax_pmd_insert_mapping(). We want those messages to be wrapped by the parent function tracepoints so the code flow is more easily understood. Having entry and exit tracepoints for faults also allows us to easily see what filesystems functions were called during the fault. These filesystem functions get executed via iomap_begin() and iomap_end() calls, for example, and will have their own tracepoints. For PMD faults we primarily want to understand the type of mapping, the fault flags, the faulting address and whether it fell back to 4k faults. If it fell back to 4k faults the tracepoints should let us understand why. I named the new tracepoint header file "fs_dax.h" to allow for device DAX to have its own separate tracing header in the same directory at some point. Here is an example output for these events from a successful PMD fault: big-1441 [005] .... 32.582758: xfs_filemap_pmd_fault: dev 259:0 ino 0x1003 big-1441 [005] .... 32.582776: dax_pmd_fault: dev 259:0 ino 0x1003 shared WRITE|ALLOW_RETRY|KILLABLE|USER address 0x10505000 vm_start 0x10200000 vm_end 0x10700000 pgoff 0x200 max_pgoff 0x1400 big-1441 [005] .... 32.583292: dax_pmd_fault_done: dev 259:0 ino 0x1003 shared WRITE|ALLOW_RETRY|KILLABLE|USER address 0x10505000 vm_start 0x10200000 vm_end 0x10700000 pgoff 0x200 max_pgoff 0x1400 NOPAGE Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1484085142-2297-3-git-send-email-ross.zwisler@linux.intel.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "DAX tracepoints, mm argument simplification", v4. This contains both my DAX tracepoint code and Dave Jiang's MM argument simplifications. Dave's code was written with my tracepoint code as a baseline, so it seemed simplest to keep them together in a single series. This patch (of 7): Add __print_flags_u64() and the helper trace_print_flags_seq_u64() in the same spirit as __print_symbolic_u64() and trace_print_symbols_seq_u64(). These functions allow us to print symbols associated with flags that are 64 bits wide even on 32 bit machines. These will be used by the DAX code so that we can print the flags set in a pfn_t such as PFN_SG_CHAIN, PFN_SG_LAST, PFN_DEV and PFN_MAP. Without this new function I was getting errors like the following when compiling for i386: include/linux/pfn_t.h:13:22: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type [-Woverflow] #define PFN_SG_CHAIN (1ULL << (BITS_PER_LONG_LONG - 1)) ^ Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1484085142-2297-2-git-send-email-ross.zwisler@linux.intel.comSigned-off-by:
