      mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page immediately when it is made available · 1fb3f8ca
      Mel Gorman authored
      While compaction is migrating pages to free up large contiguous blocks
      for allocation it races with other allocation requests that may steal
      these blocks or break them up.  This patch alters direct compaction to
      capture a suitable free page as soon as it becomes available to reduce
      this race.  It uses similar logic to split_free_page() to ensure that
      watermarks are still obeyed.

      mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures · 83fde0f2
      Mel Gorman authored
      If allocation fails after compaction then compaction may be deferred for
      a number of allocation attempts.  If there are subsequent failures,
      compact_defer_shift is increased to defer for longer periods.  This
      patch uses that information to scale the number of pages reclaimed with
      compact_defer_shift until allocations succeed again.  The rationale is
      that reclaiming the normal number of pages still allowed compaction to
      fail and its success depends on the number of pages.  If it's failing,
      reclaim more pages until it succeeds again.
      
      Note that this is not implying that VM reclaim is not reclaiming enough
      pages or that its logic is broken.  try_to_free_pages() always asks for
      SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages to be reclaimed regardless of order and that is
      what it does.  Direct reclaim stops normally with this check.
      
      	if (sc->nr_reclaimed >= sc->nr_to_reclaim)
      		goto out;
      
      should_continue_reclaim delays when that check is made until a minimum
      number of pages for reclaim/compaction are reclaimed.  It is possible
      that this patch could instead set nr_to_reclaim in try_to_free_pages()
      and drive it from there but that's behaves differently and not
      necessarily for the better.  If driven from do_try_to_free_pages(), it
      is also possible that priorities will rise.
      
      When they reach DEF_PRIORITY-2, it will also start stalling and setting
      pages for immediate reclaim which is more disruptive than not desirable
      in this case.  That is a more wide-reaching change that could cause
      another regression related to THP requests causing interactive jitter.

      mm: compaction: update comment in try_to_compact_pages · 4ffb6335
      Mel Gorman authored
      Allocation success rates have been far lower since 3.4 due to commit
      fe2c2a10 ("vmscan: reclaim at order 0 when compaction is enabled").
      This commit was introduced for good reasons and it was known in advance
      that the success rates would suffer but it was justified on the grounds
      that the high allocation success rates were achieved by aggressive
      reclaim.  Success rates are expected to suffer even more in 3.6 due to
      commit 7db8889a ("mm: have order > 0 compaction start off where it
      left") which testing has shown to severely reduce allocation success
      rates under load - to 0% in one case.
      
      This series aims to improve the allocation success rates without
      regressing the benefits of commit fe2c2a10.  The series is based on
      latest mmotm and takes into account the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag is going
      away.
      
      Patch 1 updates a stale comment seeing as I was in the general area.
      
      Patch 2 updates reclaim/compaction to reclaim pages scaled on the number
      	of recent failures.
      
      Patch 3 captures suitable high-order pages freed by compaction to reduce
      	races with parallel allocation requests.
      
      Patch 4 fixes the upstream commit [7db8889a: mm: have order > 0 compaction
      	start off where it left] to enable compaction again
      
      Patch 5 identifies when compacion is taking too long due to contention
      	and aborts.

      I know that the allocation success rates in 3.3.6 was 78% in comparison
      to 36% in in the current akpm tree.  With the full series applied, the
      success rates are up to around 51% with some variability in the results.
      This is not as high a success rate but it does not reclaim excessively
      which is a key point.

      Note that swap in/out rates remain at 0. In 3.3.6 with 78% success rates
      there were 71881 pages swapped out.

      The kswapd velocity changes very little as expected.  kswapd velocity is
      around the 1000 pages/sec mark where as in kernel 3.3.6 with the high
      allocation success rates it was 8140 pages/second.  Direct velocity is
      higher as a result of patch 2 of the series but this is expected and is
      acceptable.  The direct reclaim and kswapd velocities change very little.
      
      If these get accepted for merging then there is a difficulty in how they
      should be handled.  7db8889a ("mm: have order > 0 compaction start off
      where it left") is broken but it is already in 3.6-rc1 and needs to be
      fixed.  However, if just patch 4 from this series is applied then Jim
      Schutt's workload is known to break again as his workload also requires
      patch 5.  While it would be preferred to have all these patches in 3.6 to
      improve compaction in general, it would at least be acceptable if just
      patches 4 and 5 were merged to 3.6 to fix a known problem without breaking
      compaction completely.  On the face of it, that would force
      __GFP_NO_KSWAPD patches to be merged at the same time but I can do a
      version of this series with __GFP_NO_KSWAPD change reverted and then
      rebase it on top of this series.  That might be best overall because I
      note that the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD patch should have removed
      deferred_compaction from page_alloc.c but it didn't but fixing that causes
      collisions with this series.
      
      This patch:
      
      The comment about order applied when the check was order >
      PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER which has not been the case since c5a73c3d ("thp:
      use compaction for all allocation orders").  Fixing the comment while I'm
      in the general area.

      mm/mmap.c: replace find_vma_prepare() with clearer find_vma_links() · 6597d783
      Hugh Dickins authored
      People get confused by find_vma_prepare(), because it doesn't care about
      what it returns in its output args, when its callers won't be interested.
      
      Clarify by passing in end-of-range address too, and returning failure if
      any existing vma overlaps the new range: instead of returning an ambiguous
      vma which most callers then must check.  find_vma_links() is a clearer
      name.
      
      This does revert 2.6.27's dfe195fb ("mm: fix uninitialized variables
      for find_vma_prepare callers"), but it looks like gcc 4.3.0 was one of
      those releases too eager to shout about uninitialized variables: only
      copy_vma() warns with 4.5.1 and 4.7.1, which a BUG on error silences.

      mm: fix nonuniform page status when writing new file with small buffer · d741c9cd
      Robin Dong authored
      When writing a new file with 2048 bytes buffer, such as write(fd, buffer,
      2048), it will call generic_perform_write() twice for every page:
      
      	write_begin
      	mark_page_accessed(page)
      	write_end
      
      	write_begin
      	mark_page_accessed(page)
      	write_end
      
      Pages 1-13 will be added to lru-pvecs in write_begin() and will *NOT* be
      added to active_list even they have be accessed twice because they are not
      PageLRU(page).  But when page 14th comes, all pages in lru-pvecs will be
      moved to inactive_list (by __lru_cache_add() ) in first write_begin(), now
      page 14th *is* PageLRU(page).  And after second write_end() only page 14th
      will be in active_list.
      
      In Hadoop environment, we do comes to this situation: after writing a
      file, we find out that only 14th, 28th, 42th...  page are in active_list
      and others in inactive_list.  Now kswapd works, shrinks the inactive_list,
      the file only have 14th, 28th...pages in memory, the readahead request
      size will be broken to only 52k (13*4k), system's performance falls
      dramatically.
      
      This problem can also replay by below steps (the machine has 8G memory):
      
      	1. dd if=/dev/zero of=/test/file.out bs=1024 count=1048576
      	2. cat another 7.5G file to /dev/null
      	3. vmtouch -m 1G -v /test/file.out, it will show:
      
      	/test/file.out
      	[oooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO] 187847/262144
      
      	the 'o' means same pages are in memory but same are not.
      
      The solution for this problem is simple: the 14th page should be added to
      lru_add_pvecs before mark_page_accessed() just as other pages.

      mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter · 314e51b9
      Konstantin Khlebnikov authored
      A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
      currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:
      
       | effect                 | alternative flags
      -+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
      1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
      2| skip in core dump      | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
      3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
      4| do not mlock           | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
      
      This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct.  Seems like nobody
      cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
      reduces total_vm showed in proc.
      
      Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.
      
      remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
      remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

      mm: kill vma flag VM_EXECUTABLE and mm->num_exe_file_vmas · e9714acf
      Konstantin Khlebnikov authored
      Currently the kernel sets mm->exe_file during sys_execve() and then tracks
      number of vmas with VM_EXECUTABLE flag in mm->num_exe_file_vmas, as soon
      as this counter drops to zero kernel resets mm->exe_file to NULL.  Plus it
      resets mm->exe_file at last mmput() when mm->mm_users drops to zero.
      
      VMA with VM_EXECUTABLE flag appears after mapping file with flag
      MAP_EXECUTABLE, such vmas can appears only at sys_execve() or after vma
      splitting, because sys_mmap ignores this flag.  Usually binfmt module sets
      mm->exe_file and mmaps executable vmas with this file, they hold
      mm->exe_file while task is running.
      
      comment from v2.6.25-6245-g925d1c40 ("procfs task exe symlink"),
      where all this stuff was introduced:
      
      > The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from
      > the first executable VMA.  Then the path to the file is reconstructed and
      > reported as the result.

      > This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems.  Instead of
      > walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a

      exe_file's vma accounting is hooked into every file mmap/unmmap and vma
      split/merge just to fix some hypothetical pinning fs from umounting by mm,
      which already unmapped all its executable files, but still alive.
      
      Seems like currently nobody depends on this behaviour.  We can try to
      remove this logic and keep mm->exe_file until final mmput().
      
      mm->exe_file is still protected with mm->mmap_sem, because we want to
      change it via new sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE).  Also via this syscall
      task can change its mm->exe_file and unpin mountpoint explicitly.

      mm: use mm->exe_file instead of first VM_EXECUTABLE vma->vm_file · 2dd8ad81
      Konstantin Khlebnikov authored
      Some security modules and oprofile still uses VM_EXECUTABLE for retrieving
      a task's executable file.  After this patch they will use mm->exe_file
      directly.  mm->exe_file is protected with mm->mmap_sem, so locking stays
      the same.

      Move actual pte filling for non-linear file mappings into the new special
      vma operation: ->remap_pages().
      
      Filesystems must implement this method to get non-linear mapping support,
      if it uses filemap_fault() then generic_file_remap_pages() can be used.
      
      Now device drivers can implement this method and obtain nonlinear vma support.

      mm: kill vma flag VM_INSERTPAGE · 4b6e1e37
      Konstantin Khlebnikov authored
      Merge VM_INSERTPAGE into VM_MIXEDMAP.  VM_MIXEDMAP VMA can mix pure-pfn
      ptes, special ptes and normal ptes.
      
      Now copy_page_range() always copies VM_MIXEDMAP VMA on fork like
      VM_PFNMAP.  If driver populates whole VMA at mmap() it probably not
      expects page-faults.
      
      This patch removes special check from vma_wants_writenotify() which
      disables pages write tracking for VMA populated via vm_instert_page().
      BDI below mapped file should not use dirty-accounting, moreover
      do_wp_page() can handle this.
      
      vm_insert_page() still marks vma after first usage.  Usually it is called
      from f_op->mmap() handler under mm->mmap_sem write-lock, so it able to
      change vma->vm_flags.  Caller must set VM_MIXEDMAP at mmap time if it
      wants to call this function from other places, for example from page-fault
      handler.

      Konstantin Khlebnikov authored
      Replace the generic vma-flag VM_PFN_AT_MMAP with x86-only VM_PAT.
      
      We can toss mapping address from remap_pfn_range() into
      track_pfn_vma_new(), and collect all PAT-related logic together in
      arch/x86/.
      
      This patch also restores orignal frustration-free is_cow_mapping() check
      in remap_pfn_range(), as it was before commit v2.6.28-rc8-88-g3c8bb73a
      ("x86: PAT: store vm_pgoff for all linear_over_vma_region mappings - v3")
      
      is_linear_pfn_mapping() checks can be removed from mm/huge_memory.c,
      because it already handled by VM_PFNMAP in VM_NO_THP bit-mask.

      x86, pat: separate the pfn attribute tracking for remap_pfn_range and vm_insert_pfn · 5180da41
      Suresh Siddha authored
      With PAT enabled, vm_insert_pfn() looks up the existing pfn memory
      attribute and uses it.  Expectation is that the driver reserves the
      memory attributes for the pfn before calling vm_insert_pfn().
      
      remap_pfn_range() (when called for the whole vma) will setup a new
      attribute (based on the prot argument) for the specified pfn range.
      This addresses the legacy usage which typically calls remap_pfn_range()
      with a desired memory attribute.  For ranges smaller than the vma size
      (which is typically not the case), remap_pfn_range() will use the
      existing memory attribute for the pfn range.
      
      Expose two different API's for these different behaviors.
      track_pfn_insert() for tracking the pfn attribute set by vm_insert_pfn()
      and track_pfn_remap() for the remap_pfn_range().
      
      This cleanup also prepares the ground for the track/untrack pfn vma
      routines to take over the ownership of setting PAT specific vm_flag in
      the 'vma'.

      When transparent huge pages were introduced, memory compaction and swap
      storms were an issue, and the kernel had to be careful to not make THP
      allocations cause pageout or compaction.
      
      Now that we have working compaction deferral, kswapd is smart enough to
      invoke compaction and the quadratic behaviour around isolate_free_pages
      has been fixed, it should be safe to remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD.

      CPU hotplug, debug: detect imbalance between get_online_cpus() and put_online_cpus() · 075663d1
      Srivatsa S. Bhat authored
      The synchronization between CPU hotplug readers and writers is achieved
      by means of refcounting, safeguarded by the cpu_hotplug.lock.
      
      get_online_cpus() increments the refcount, whereas put_online_cpus()
      decrements it.  If we ever hit an imbalance between the two, we end up
      compromising the guarantees of the hotplug synchronization i.e, for
      example, an extra call to put_online_cpus() can end up allowing a
      hotplug reader to execute concurrently with a hotplug writer.
      
      So, add a WARN_ON() in put_online_cpus() to detect such cases where the
      refcount can go negative, and also attempt to fix it up, so that we can
      continue to run.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
       "This contains pretty many small commits covering fairly large range of
        files in sound/ directory.  Partly because of additional API support
        and partly because of constantly developed ASoC and ARM stuff.
      
        Some highlights:
      
         - Introduced the helper function and documentation for exposing the
           channel map via control API, as discussed in Plumbers; most of PCI
           drivers are covered, will follow more drivers later
      
         - Most of drivers have been replaced with the new PM callbacks (if
           the bus is supported)
      
         - HD-audio controller got the support of runtime PM and the support
           of D3 clock-stop.  Also changing the power_save option in sysfs
           kicks off immediately to enable / disable the power-save mode.
      
         - Another significant code change in HD-audio is the rewrite of
           firmware loading code.  Other than that, most of changes in
           HD-audio are continued cleanups and standardization for the generic
           auto parser and bug fixes (HBR, device-specific fixups), in
           addition to the support of channel-map API.
      
         - Addition of ASoC bindings for the compressed API, used by the
           mid-x86 drivers.
      
         - Lots of cleanups and API refreshes for ASoC codec drivers and
           DaVinci.
      
         - Conversion of OMAP to dmaengine.
      
         - New machine driver for Wolfson Microelectronics Bells.
      
         - New CODEC driver for Wolfson Microelectronics WM0010.
      
         - Enhancements to the ux500 and wm2000 drivers
      
         - A new driver for DA9055 and the support for regulator bypass mode."

      exec: make de_thread() killable · d5bbd43d
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      Change de_thread() to use KILLABLE rather than UNINTERRUPTIBLE while
      waiting for other threads.  The only complication is that we should
      clear ->group_exit_task and ->notify_count before we return, and we
      should do this under tasklist_lock.  -EAGAIN is used to match the
      initial signal_group_exit() check/return, it doesn't really matter.
      
      This fixes the (unlikely) race with coredump.  de_thread() checks
      signal_group_exit() before it starts to kill the subthreads, but this
      can't help if another CLONE_VM (but non CLONE_THREAD) task starts the
      coredumping after de_thread() unlocks ->siglock.  In this case the
      killed sub-thread can block in exit_mm() waiting for coredump_finish(),
      execing thread waits for that sub-thead, and the coredumping thread
      waits for execing thread.  Deadlock.

      Catalin Marinas authored
      Following commit 74838b75 (swiotlb: add the late swiotlb initialization
      function with iotlb memory) the swiotlb_init_with_default_size() is a
      static function. This patch changes the arm64 code to call
      swiotlb_init() instead and use the default size of 64MB. It is assumed
      that AArch64 platforms have enough RAM to afford the pre-allocated
      swiotlb memory. It also removes the #ifdef around this call since
      CONFIG_SWIOTLB is always enabled.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull UBI fastmap changes from Artem Bityutskiy:
       "This pull request contains the UBI fastmap support implemented by
        Richard Weinberger from Linutronix.  Fastmap is designed to address
        UBI's slow scanning issues.  Namely, it introduces a new on-flash
        data-structure called "fastmap", which stores the information about
        logical<->physical eraseblocks mappings.  So now to get this
        information just read the fastmap, instead of doing full scan.  More
        information here can be found in Richard's announcement in LKML
        (Subject: UBI: Fastmap request for inclusion (v19)):
      
           http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1364922/focus=1369109
      
        One thing I want to explicitly say is that fastmap did not have large
        enough linux-next exposure.  It is partially my fault - I did not
        respond quickly enough.  I _really_ apologize for this.  But it had
        good testing and disabled by default, so I do not expect that we'll
        break anything.
      
        Fastmap is declared as experimental so far, and it is off by default.
        We did declare that the on-flash format may be changed.  The reason
        for this is that no one used it in real production so far, so there is
        a high risk that something is missing.  Besides, we do not have
        user-space tools supporting fastmap so far.
      
        Nevertheless, I suggest we merge this feature.  Many people want UBI's
        scanning bottleneck to be fixed and merging fastmap now should
        accelerate its production use.  The plan is to make it bullet-prove,
        somewhat clean-up, and make it the default for UBI.  I do not know how
        many kernel releases will it take.
      
        Basically, I what I want to do for fastmap is something like Linus did
        for btrfs few years ago."

      Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
       "The big new feature added this time is supporting online resizing
        using the meta_bg feature.  This allows us to resize file systems
        which are greater than 16TB.  In addition, the speed of online
        resizing has been improved in general.
      
        We also fix a number of races, some of which could lead to deadlocks,
        in ext4's Asynchronous I/O and online defrag support, thanks to good
        work by Dmitry Monakhov.
      
        There are also a large number of more minor bug fixes and cleanups
        from a number of other ext4 contributors, quite of few of which have
        submitted fixes for the first time."
