We need an atomic way to setup pmd page table entry, avoiding races with CPU setting dirty/accessed bits. This is required to implement pmdp_invalidate() that doesn't lose these bits. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171213105756.69879-5-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.comSigned-off-by:

ARM LPAE doesn't have hardware dirty/accessed bits. generic_pmdp_establish() is the right implementation of pmdp_establish for this case. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171213105756.69879-4-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "Do not lose dirty bit on THP pages", v4. Vlastimil noted that pmdp_invalidate() is not atomic and we can lose dirty and access bits if CPU sets them after pmdp dereference, but before set_pmd_at(). The bug can lead to data loss, but the race window is tiny and I haven't seen any reports that suggested that it happens in reality. So I don't think it worth sending it to stable. Unfortunately, there's no way to address the issue in a generic way. We need to fix all architectures that support THP one-by-one. All architectures that have THP supported have to provide atomic pmdp_invalidate() that returns previous value. If generic implementation of pmdp_invalidate() is used, architecture needs to provide atomic pmdp_estabish(). pmdp_estabish() is not used out-side generic implementation of pmdp_invalidate() so far, but I think this can change in the future. This patch (of 12): This is an implementation of pmdp_establish() that is only suitable for an architecture that doesn't have hardware dirty/accessed bits. In this case we can't race with CPU which sets these bits and non-atomic approach is fine. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171213105756.69879-2-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.comSigned-off-by:

We don't have to use an entire 'long' for the number of elements in the pagevec; we know it's a number between 0 and 14 (now 15). So we can store it in a char, and then the bool packs next to it and we still have two or six bytes of padding for more elements in the header. That gives us space to cram in an extra page.

Several users of unmap_mapping_range() would prefer to express their range in pages rather than bytes. Unfortuately, on a 32-bit kernel, you have to remember to cast your page number to a 64-bit type before shifting it, and four places in the current tree didn't remember to do that. That's a sign of a bad interface. Conveniently, unmap_mapping_range() actually converts from bytes into pages, so hoist the guts of unmap_mapping_range() into a new function unmap_mapping_pages() and convert the callers which want to use pages.

If THP migration is enabled, for a VMA handled by userfaultfd, consider the following situation, do_page_fault() __do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page() handle_userfault() userfault_msg() /* a huge page is allocated and mapped at fault address */ /* the huge page is under migration, leaves migration entry in page table */ userfaultfd_must_wait() /* return true because !pmd_present() */ /* may wait in loop until fatal signal */ That is, it may be possible for userfaultfd_must_wait() encounters a PMD entry which is !pmd_none() && !pmd_present(). In the current implementation, we will wait for such PMD entries, which may cause unnecessary waiting, and potential soft lockup. This is fixed via avoiding to wait when !pmd_none() && !pmd_present(), only wait when pmd_none(). This may be not a problem in practice, because userfaultfd_must_wait() is always called with mm->mmap_sem read-locked. mremap() will write-lock mm->mmap_sem. And UFFDIO_COPY doesn't support to copy THP mapping. But the change introduced still makes the code more correct, and makes the PMD and PTE code more consistent.

If start_code / end_code pointers are screwed then "VmExe" could be bigger than total executable virtual memory and "VmLib" becomes negative: VmExe: 294320 kB VmLib: 18446744073709327564 kB VmExe and VmLib documented as text segment and shared library code size. Now their sum will be always equal to mm->exec_vm which sums size of executable and not writable and not stack areas. I've seen this for huge (>2Gb) statically linked binary which has whole world inside. For it start_code .. end_code range also covers one of rodata sections. Probably this is bug in customized linker, elf loader or both. Anyway CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE allows to change these pointers, thus we cannot trust them without validation.

hugepages_treat_as_movable has been introduced by 396faf03 ("Allow huge page allocations to use GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE") to allow hugetlb allocations from ZONE_MOVABLE even when hugetlb pages were not migrateable. The purpose of the movable zone was different at the time. It aimed at reducing memory fragmentation and hugetlb pages being long lived and large werre not contributing to the fragmentation so it was acceptable to use the zone back then. Things have changed though and the primary purpose of the zone became migratability guarantee. If we allow non migrateable hugetlb pages to be in ZONE_MOVABLE memory hotplug might fail to offline the memory. Remove the knob and only rely on hugepage_migration_supported to allow movable zones. Mel said: : Primarily it was aimed at allowing the hugetlb pool to safely shrink with : the ability to grow it again. The use case was for batched jobs, some of : which needed huge pages and others that did not but didn't want the memory : useless pinned in the huge pages pool. : : I suspect that more users rely on THP than hugetlbfs for flexible use of : huge pages with fallback options so I think that removing the option : should be ok.

Move the test from the x86 selftests to selftest/vm so that other architectures can use it too. We also add a few new test scenarios in this patch. We do test a few boundary conditions before we do a high address mmap. PPC64 uses the address limit to validate the address in the fault path. We had bugs in this area w.r.t SLB fault handling before we updated the addess limit. We also touch the allocated space to make sure we don't have any bugs in the fault handling path.

Shakeel Butt reported he has observed in production systems that the job loader gets stuck for 10s of seconds while doing a mount operation. It turns out that it was stuck in register_shrinker() because some unrelated job was under memory pressure and was spending time in shrink_slab(). Machines have a lot of shrinkers registered and jobs under memory pressure have to traverse all of those memcg-aware shrinkers and affect unrelated jobs which want to register their own shrinkers. To solve the issue, this patch simply bails out slab shrinking if it is found that someone wants to register a shrinker in parallel. A downside is it could cause unfair shrinking between shrinkers. However, it should be rare and we can add compilcated logic if we find it's not enough.

We've seen memory.stat reads in top-level cgroups take up to fourteen seconds during a userspace bug that created tens of thousands of ghost cgroups pinned by lingering page cache. Even with a more reasonable number of cgroups, aggregating memory.stat is unnecessarily heavy. The complexity is this: nr_cgroups * nr_stat_items * nr_possible_cpus where the stat items are ~70 at this point. With 128 cgroups and 128 CPUs - decent, not enormous setups - reading the top-level memory.stat has to aggregate over a million per-cpu counters. This doesn't scale. Instead of spreading the source of truth across all CPUs, use the per-cpu counters merely to batch updates to shared atomic counters. This is the same as the per-cpu stocks we use for charging memory to the shared atomic page_counters, and also the way the global vmstat counters are implemented. Vmstat has elaborate spilling thresholds that depend on the number of CPUs, amount of memory, and memory pressure - carefully balancing the cost of counter updates with the amount of per-cpu error. That's because the vmstat counters are system-wide, but also used for decisions inside the kernel (e.g. NR_FREE_PAGES in the allocator). Neither is true for the memory controller. Use the same static batch size we already use for page_counter updates during charging. The per-cpu error in the stats will be 128k, which is an acceptable ratio of cores to memory accounting granularity.

The implementation of the lruvec stat functions and their variants for accounting through a page, or accounting from a preemptible context, are mostly identical and needlessly repetitive. Implement the lruvec_page functions by looking up the page's lruvec and then using the lruvec function. Implement the functions for preemptible contexts by disabling preemption before calling the atomic context functions.

In deferred_init_range() we initialize struct pages, and also free them to buddy allocator. We do it in separate loops, because buddy page is computed ahead, so we do not want to access a struct page that has not been initialized yet. There is still, however, a corner case where it is potentially possible to access uninitialized struct page: this is when buddy page is from the next memblock range. This patch fixes this problem by splitting deferred_init_range() into two functions: one to initialize struct pages, and another to free them. In addition, this patch brings the following improvements: - Get rid of __def_free() helper function. And simplifies loop logic by adding a new pfn validity check function: deferred_pfn_valid(). - Reduces number of variables that we track. So, there is a higher chance that we will avoid using stack to store/load variables inside hot loops. - Enables future multi-threading of these functions: do initialization in multiple threads, wait for all threads to finish, do freeing part in multithreading. Tested on x86 with 1T of memory to make sure no regressions are introduced.

Previously we were using the ratio of the number of lru pages scanned to the number of eligible lru pages to determine the number of slab objects to scan. The problem with this is that these two things have nothing to do with each other, so in slab heavy work loads where there is little to no page cache we can end up with the pages scanned being a very low number. This means that we reclaim next to no slab pages and waste a lot of time reclaiming small amounts of space. Consider the following scenario, where we have the following values and the rest of the memory usage is in slab Active: 58840 kB Inactive: 46860 kB Every time we do a get_scan_count() we do this scan = size >> sc->priority where sc->priority starts at DEF_PRIORITY, which is 12. The first loop through reclaim would result in a scan target of 2 pages to 11715 total inactive pages, and 3 pages to 14710 total active pages. This is a really really small target for a system that is entirely slab pages. And this is super optimistic, this assumes we even get to scan these pages. We don't increment sc->nr_scanned unless we 1) isolate the page, which assumes it's not in use, and 2) can lock the page. Under pressure these numbers could probably go down, I'm sure there's some random pages from daemons that aren't actually in use, so the targets get even smaller. Instead use sc->priority in the same way we use it to determine scan amounts for the lru's. This generally equates to pages. Consider the following slab_pages = (nr_objects * object_size) / PAGE_SIZE What we would like to do is scan = slab_pages >> sc->priority but we don't know the number of slab pages each shrinker controls, only the objects. However say that theoretically we knew how many pages a shrinker controlled, we'd still have to convert this to objects, which would look like the following scan = shrinker_pages >> sc->priority scan_objects = (PAGE_SIZE / object_size) * scan or written another way scan_objects = (shrinker_pages >> sc->priority) * (PAGE_SIZE / object_size) which can thus be written scan_objects = ((shrinker_pages * PAGE_SIZE) / object_size) >> sc->priority which is just scan_objects = nr_objects >> sc->priority We don't need to know exactly how many pages each shrinker represents, it's objects are all the information we need. Making this change allows us to place an appropriate amount of pressure on the shrinker pools for their relative size.

Currently we display some hugepage statistics (total, free, etc) in /proc/meminfo, but only for default hugepage size (e.g. 2Mb). If hugepages of different sizes are used (like 2Mb and 1Gb on x86-64), /proc/meminfo output can be confusing, as non-default sized hugepages are not reflected at all, and there are no signs that they are existing and consuming system memory. To solve this problem, let's display the total amount of memory, consumed by hugetlb pages of all sized (both free and used). Let's call it "Hugetlb", and display size in kB to match generic /proc/meminfo style. For example, (1024 2Mb pages and 2 1Gb pages are pre-allocated): $ cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 8168984 kB MemFree: 3789276 kB <...> CmaFree: 0 kB HugePages_Total: 1024 HugePages_Free: 1024 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB Hugetlb: 4194304 kB DirectMap4k: 32632 kB DirectMap2M: 4161536 kB DirectMap1G: 6291456 kB Also, this patch updates corresponding docs to reflect Hugetlb entry meaning and difference between Hugetlb and HugePages_Total * Hugepagesize.

Pulling cpu hotplug locks inside the mm core function like lru_add_drain_all just asks for problems and the recent lockdep splat [1] just proves this. While the usage in that particular case might be wrong we should avoid the locking as lru_add_drain_all() is used in many places. It seems that this is not all that hard to achieve actually. We have done the same thing for drain_all_pages which is analogous by commit a459eeb7 ("mm, page_alloc: do not depend on cpu hotplug locks inside the allocator"). All we have to care about is to handle - the work item might be executed on a different cpu in worker from unbound pool so it doesn't run on pinned on the cpu - we have to make sure that we do not race with page_alloc_cpu_dead calling lru_add_drain_cpu the first part is already handled because the worker calls lru_add_drain which disables preemption when calling lru_add_drain_cpu on the local cpu it is draining. The later is true because page_alloc_cpu_dead is called on the controlling CPU after the hotplugged CPU vanished completely.

As in manpage of migrate_pages, the errno should be set to EINVAL when none of the node IDs specified by new_nodes are on-line and allowed by the process's current cpuset context, or none of the specified nodes contain memory. However, when test by following case: new_nodes = 0; old_nodes = 0xf; ret = migrate_pages(pid, old_nodes, new_nodes, MAX); The ret will be 0 and no errno is set. As the new_nodes is empty, we should expect EINVAL as documented. To fix the case like above, this patch check whether target nodes AND current task_nodes is empty, and then check whether AND node_states[N_MEMORY] is empty.

As man pages of set_mempolicy[1], mbind[2], and migrate_pages[3] mentioned, when nodemask specifies one or more node IDs that are greater than the maximum supported node ID, the errno should set to EINVAL. However, get_nodes only check whether the part of bits [BITS_PER_LONG*BITS_TO_LONGS(MAX_NUMNODES), maxnode) is zero or not, and remain [MAX_NUMNODES, BITS_PER_LONG*BITS_TO_LONGS(MAX_NUMNODES) unchecked. This patch is to check the bits of [MAX_NUMNODES, maxnode) in get_nodes to let migrate_pages set the errno to EINVAL when nodemask specifies one or more node IDs that are greater than the maximum supported node ID, which follows the manpage's guide.

There is no need to have ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT, as all the page initialization code is in common code. Also, there is no need to depend on MEMORY_HOTPLUG, as initialization code does not really use hotplug memory functionality. So, we can remove this requirement as well. This patch allows to use deferred struct page initialization on all platforms with memblock allocator. Tested on x86, arm64, and sparc. Also, verified that code compiles on PPC with CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG disabled. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171117014601.31606-1-pasha.tatashin@oracle.comSigned-off-by:

Zswap is a cache which compresses the pages that are being swapped out and stores them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool. Experiments have shown that around 10-20% of pages stored in zswap are same-filled pages (i.e. contents of the page are all same), but these pages are handled as normal pages by compressing and allocating memory in the pool. This patch adds a check in zswap_frontswap_store() to identify same-filled page before compression of the page. If the page is a same-filled page, set zswap_entry.length to zero, save the same-filled value and skip the compression of the page and alloction of memory in zpool. In zswap_frontswap_load(), check if value of zswap_entry.length is zero corresponding to the page to be loaded. If zswap_entry.length is zero, fill the page with same-filled value. This saves the decompression time during load. On a ARM Quad Core 32-bit device with 1.5GB RAM by launching and relaunching different applications, out of ~64000 pages stored in zswap, ~11000 pages were same-value filled pages (including zero-filled pages) and ~9000 pages were zero-filled pages. An average of 17% of pages(including zero-filled pages) in zswap are same-value filled pages and 14% pages are zero-filled pages. An average of 3% of pages are same-filled non-zero pages. The below table shows the execution time profiling with the patch. Baseline With patch % Improvement ----------------------------------------------------------------- *Zswap Store Time 26.5ms 18ms 32% (of same value pages) *Zswap Load Time (of same value pages) 25.5ms 13ms 49% ----------------------------------------------------------------- On Ubuntu PC with 2GB RAM, while executing kernel build and other test scripts and running multimedia applications, out of 360000 pages stored in zswap 78000(~22%) of pages were found to be same-value filled pages (including zero-filled pages) and 64000(~17%) are zero-filled pages. So an average of %5 of pages are same-filled non-zero pages. The below table shows the execution time profiling with the patch. Baseline With patch % Improvement ----------------------------------------------------------------- *Zswap Store Time 91ms 74ms 19% (of same value pages) *Zswap Load Time 50ms 7.5ms 85% (of same value pages) ----------------------------------------------------------------- *The execution times may vary with test device used. Dan said: : I did test this patch out this week, and I added some instrumentation to : check the performance impact, and tested with a small program to try to : check the best and worst cases. : : When doing a lot of swap where all (or almost all) pages are same-value, I : found this patch does save both time and space, significantly. The exact : improvement in time and space depends on which compressor is being used, : but roughly agrees with the numbers you listed. : : In the worst case situation, where all (or almost all) pages have the : same-value *except* the final long (meaning, zswap will check each long on : the entire page but then still have to pass the page to the compressor), : the same-value check is around 10-15% of the total time spent in : zswap_frontswap_store(). That's a not-insignificant amount of time, but : it's not huge. Considering that most systems will probably be swapping : pages that aren't similar to the worst case (although I don't have any : data to know that), I'd say the improvement is worth the possible : worst-case performance impact.

Commit d6e0b7fa ("slub: make dead caches discard free slabs immediately") makes put_cpu_partial() run with preemption disabled and interrupts disabled when calling unfreeze_partials(). The comment: "put_cpu_partial() is done without interrupts disabled and without preemption disabled" looks obsolete, so remove it.

slab_state is being set to "UP" in create_kmalloc_caches(), and later on we set it again in kmem_cache_init_late(), but slab_state does not change in the meantime. Remove the redundant assignment from kmem_cache_init_late(). And unless I overlooked anything, the same goes for "slab_state = FULL". slab_state is set to "FULL" in kmem_cache_init_late(), but it is later being set again in cpucache_init(), which gets called from do_initcall_level(). So remove the assignment from cpucache_init() as well. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171215134452.GA1920@techadventures.netSigned-off-by:

We should not reuse the dirty bh in jbd2 directly due to the following situation: 1. When removing extent rec, we will dirty the bhs of extent rec and truncate log at the same time, and hand them over to jbd2. 2. The bhs are submitted to jbd2 area successfully. 3. The write-back thread of device help flush the bhs to disk but encounter write error due to abnormal storage link. 4. After a while the storage link become normal. Truncate log flush worker triggered by the next space reclaiming found the dirty bh of truncate log and clear its 'BH_Write_EIO' and then set it uptodate in __ocfs2_journal_access(): ocfs2_truncate_log_worker ocfs2_flush_truncate_log __ocfs2_flush_truncate_log ocfs2_replay_truncate_records ocfs2_journal_access_di __ocfs2_journal_access // here we clear io_error and set 'tl_bh' uptodata. 5. Then jbd2 will flush the bh of truncate log to disk, but the bh of extent rec is still in error state, and unfortunately nobody will take care of it. 6. At last the space of extent rec was not reduced, but truncate log flush worker have given it back to globalalloc. That will cause duplicate cluster problem which could be identified by fsck.ocfs2. Sadly we can hardly revert this but set fs read-only in case of ruining atomicity and consistency of space reclaim.
