When bulk freeing pages from the per-cpu lists the zone is checked for isolated pageblocks on every release. This patch checks it once per drain. [mgorman@techsingularity.net: fix locking radce, per Vlastimil] Signed-off-by:

__GFP_HARDWALL only has meaning in the context of cpusets but the fast path always applies the flag on the first attempt. Move the manipulations into the cpuset paths where they will be masked by a static branch in the common case. With the other micro-optimisations in this series combined, the impact on a page allocator microbenchmark is 4.6.0-rc2 4.6.0-rc2 decstat-v1r20 micro-v1r20 Min alloc-odr0-1 381.00 ( 0.00%) 377.00 ( 1.05%) Min alloc-odr0-2 275.00 ( 0.00%) 273.00 ( 0.73%) Min alloc-odr0-4 229.00 ( 0.00%) 226.00 ( 1.31%) Min alloc-odr0-8 199.00 ( 0.00%) 196.00 ( 1.51%) Min alloc-odr0-16 186.00 ( 0.00%) 183.00 ( 1.61%) Min alloc-odr0-32 179.00 ( 0.00%) 175.00 ( 2.23%) Min alloc-odr0-64 174.00 ( 0.00%) 172.00 ( 1.15%) Min alloc-odr0-128 172.00 ( 0.00%) 170.00 ( 1.16%) Min alloc-odr0-256 181.00 ( 0.00%) 183.00 ( -1.10%) Min alloc-odr0-512 193.00 ( 0.00%) 191.00 ( 1.04%) Min alloc-odr0-1024 201.00 ( 0.00%) 199.00 ( 1.00%) Min alloc-odr0-2048 206.00 ( 0.00%) 204.00 ( 0.97%) Min alloc-odr0-4096 212.00 ( 0.00%) 210.00 ( 0.94%) Min alloc-odr0-8192 215.00 ( 0.00%) 213.00 ( 0.93%) Min alloc-odr0-16384 216.00 ( 0.00%) 214.00 ( 0.93%) Signed-off-by: -

alloc_flags is a bitmask of flags but it is signed which does not necessarily generate the best code depending on the compiler. Even without an impact, it makes more sense that this be unsigned. Signed-off-by:

Pageblocks have an associated bitmap to store migrate types and whether the pageblock should be skipped during compaction. The bitmap may be associated with a memory section or a zone but the zone is looked up unconditionally. The compiler should optimise this away automatically so this is a cosmetic patch only in many cases. Signed-off-by:

The page allocator iterates through a zonelist for zones that match the addressing limitations and nodemask of the caller but many allocations will not be restricted. Despite this, there is always functional call overhead which builds up. This patch inlines the optimistic basic case and only calls the iterator function for the complex case. A hindrance was the fact that cpuset_current_mems_allowed is used in the fastpath as the allowed nodemask even though all nodes are allowed on most systems. The patch handles this by only considering cpuset_current_mems_allowed if a cpuset exists. As well as being faster in the fast-path, this removes some junk in the slowpath.

Another year, another round of page allocator optimisations focusing this time on the alloc and free fast paths. This should be of help to workloads that are allocator-intensive from kernel space where the cost of zeroing is not nceessraily incurred. The series is motivated by the observation that page alloc microbenchmarks on multiple machines regressed between 3.12.44 and 4.4. Second, there is discussions before LSF/MM considering the possibility of adding another page allocator which is potentially hazardous but a patch series improving performance is better than whining. After the series is applied, there are still hazards. In the free paths, the debugging checking and page zone/pageblock lookups dominate but there was not an obvious solution to that. In the alloc path, the major contributers are dealing with zonelists, new page preperation, the fair zone allocation and numerous statistic updates. The fair zone allocator is removed by the per-node LRU series if that gets merged so it's nor a major concern at the moment. On normal userspace benchmarks, there is little impact as the zeroing cost is significant but it's visible aim9 4.6.0-rc3 4.6.0-rc3 vanilla deferalloc-v3 Min page_test 828693.33 ( 0.00%) 887060.00 (

Right now the oom reaper will clear TIF_MEMDIE only for tasks which were successfully reaped. This is the safest option because we know that such an oom victim would only block forward progress of the oom killer without a good reason because it is highly unlikely it would release much more memory. Basically most of its memory has been already torn down. We can relax this assumption to catch more corner cases though. The first obvious one is when the oom victim clears its mm and gets stuck later on. oom_reaper would back of on find_lock_task_mm returning NULL. We can safely try to clear TIF_MEMDIE in this case because such a task would be ignored by the oom killer anyway. The flag would be cleared by that time already most of the time anyway. The less obvious one is when the oom reaper fails due to mmap_sem contention. Even if we clear TIF_MEMDIE for this task then it is not very likely that we would select another task too easily because we haven't reaped the last victim and so it would be still the #1 candidate. There is a rare race condition possible when the current victim terminates before the next select_bad_process but considering that oom_reap_task had retried several times before giving up then this sounds like a borderline thing. After this patch we should have a guarantee that the OOM killer will not be block for unbounded amount of time for most cases. Signed-off-by:

If either the current task is already killed or PF_EXITING or a selected task is PF_EXITING then the oom killer is suppressed and so is the oom reaper. This patch adds try_oom_reaper which checks the given task and queues it for the oom reaper if that is safe to be done meaning that the task doesn't share the mm with an alive process. This might help to release the memory pressure while the task tries to exit. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix nommu build] Signed-off-by:

__alloc_pages_may_oom is the central place to decide when the out_of_memory should be invoked. This is a good approach for most checks there because they are page allocator specific and the allocation fails right after for all of them. The notable exception is GFP_NOFS context which is faking did_some_progress and keep the page allocator looping even though there couldn't have been any progress from the OOM killer. This patch doesn't change this behavior because we are not ready to allow those allocation requests to fail yet (and maybe we will face the reality that we will never manage to safely fail these request). Instead __GFP_FS check is moved down to out_of_memory and prevent from OOM victim selection there. There are two reasons for that - OOM notifiers might release some memory even from this context as none of the registered notifier seems to be FS related - this might help a dying thread to get an access to memory reserves and move on which will make the behavior more consistent with the case when the task gets killed from a different context. Keep a comment in __alloc_pages_may_oom to make sure we do not forget how GFP_NOFS is special and that we really want to do something about it. Note to the current oom_notifier users: The observable difference for you is that oom notifiers cannot depend on any fs locks because we could deadlock. Not that this would be allowed today because that would just lockup machine in most of the cases and ruling out the OOM killer along the way. Another difference is that callbacks might be invoked sooner now because GFP_NOFS is a weaker reclaim context and so there could be reclaimable memory which is just not reachable now. That would require GFP_NOFS only loads which are really rare and more importantly the observable result would be dropping of reconstructible object and potential performance drop which is not such a big deal when we are struggling to fulfill other important allocation requests.

This patchset continues the work I started with commit 31bc3858 ("memory-hotplug: add automatic onlining policy for the newly added memory"). Initially I was going to stop there and bring the policy setting logic to userspace. I met two issues on this way: 1) It is possible to have memory hotplugged at boot (e.g. with QEMU). These blocks stay offlined if we turn the onlining policy on by userspace. 2) My attempt to bring this policy setting to systemd failed, systemd maintainers suggest to change the default in kernel or ... to use tmpfiles.d to alter the policy (which looks like a hack to me): https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/2938 Here I suggest to add a config option to set the default value for the policy and a kernel command line parameter to make the override. This patch (of 2): Introduce config option to set the default value for memory hotplug onlining policy (/sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks). The reason one would want to turn this option on are to have early onlining for hotpluggable memory available at boot and to not require any userspace actions to make memory hotplug work.

I've just discovered that the useful-sounding has_transparent_hugepage() is actually an architecture-dependent minefield: on some arches it only builds if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y, on others it's also there when not, but on some of those (arm and arm64) it then gives the wrong answer; and on mips alone it's marked __init, which would crash if called later (but so far it has not been called later). Straighten this out: make it available to all configs, with a sensible default in asm-generic/pgtable.h, removing its definitions from those arches (arc, arm, arm64, sparc, tile) which are served by the default, adding #define has_transparent_hugepage has_transparent_hugepage to those (mips, powerpc, s390, x86) which need to override the default at runtime, and removing the __init from mips (but maybe that kind of code should be avoided after init: set a static variable the first time it's called).

Provide /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh to force an immediate update of per-cpu into global vmstats: useful to avoid a sleep(2) or whatever before checking counts when testing. Originally added to work around a bug which left counts stranded indefinitely on a cpu going idle (an inaccuracy magnified when small below-batch numbers represent "huge" amounts of memory), but I believe that bug is now fixed: nonetheless, this is still a useful knob. Its schedule_on_each_cpu() is probably too expensive just to fold into reading /proc/meminfo itself: give this mode 0600 to prevent abuse. Allow a write or a read to do the same: nothing to read, but "grep -h Shmem /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh /proc/meminfo" is convenient. Oh, and since global_page_state() itself is careful to disguise any underflow as 0, hack in an "Invalid argument" and pr_warn() if a counter is negative after the refresh - this helped to fix a misaccounting of NR_ISOLATED_FILE in my migration code. But on recent kernels, I find that NR_ALLOC_BATCH and NR_PAGES_SCANNED often go negative some of the time. I have not yet worked out why, but have no evidence that it's actually harmful. Punt for the moment by just ignoring the anomaly on those. Signed-off-by:

Although shmem_fault() has been careful to count a major fault to vm_mm, shmem_getpage_gfp() has been careless in charging a remote access fault to current->mm owner's memcg instead of to vma->vm_mm owner's memcg: that is inconsistent with all the mem_cgroup charging on remote access faults in mm/memory.c. Fix it by passing fault_mm along with fault_type to shmem_get_page_gfp(); but in that case, now knowing the right mm, it's better for it to handle the PGMAJFAULT updates itself. And let's keep this clutter out of most callers' way: change the common shmem_getpage() wrapper to hide fault_mm and fault_type as well as gfp. Signed-off-by:

Make a few cleanups in mm/shmem.c, before going on to complicate it. shmem_alloc_page() will become more complicated: we can't afford to to have that complication duplicated between a CONFIG_NUMA version and a !CONFIG_NUMA version, so rearrange the #ifdef'ery there to yield a single shmem_swapin() and a single shmem_alloc_page(). Yes, it's a shame to inflict the horrid pseudo-vma on non-NUMA configurations, but eliminating it is a larger cleanup: I have an alloc_pages_mpol() patchset not yet ready - mpol handling is subtle and bug-prone, and changed yet again since my last version. Move __SetPageLocked, __SetPageSwapBacked from shmem_getpage_gfp() to shmem_alloc_page(): that SwapBacked flag will be useful in future, to help to distinguish different cases appropriately. And the SGP_DIRTY variant of SGP_CACHE is hard to understand and of little use (IIRC it dates back to when shmem_getpage() returned the page unlocked): kill it and do the necessary in shmem_file_read_iter(). But an arm64 build then complained that info may be uninitialized (where shmem_getpage_gfp() deletes a freshly alloced page beyond eof), and advancing to an "sgp <= SGP_CACHE" test jogged it back to reality.

v3.16 commit 07a42788 ("mm: shmem: avoid atomic operation during shmem_getpage_gfp") rightly replaced one instance of SetPageSwapBacked by __SetPageSwapBacked, pointing out that the newly allocated page is not yet visible to other users (except speculative get_page_unless_zero- ers, who may not update page flags before their further checks). That was part of a series in which Mel was focused on tmpfs profiles: but almost all SetPageSwapBacked uses can be so optimized, with the same justification. Remove ClearPageSwapBacked from __read_swap_cache_async() error path: it's not an error to free a page with PG_swapbacked set. Follow a convention of __SetPageLocked, __SetPageSwapBacked instead of doing it differently in different places; but that's for tidiness - if the ordering actually mattered, we should not be using the __variants. There's probably scope for further __SetPageFlags in other places, but SwapBacked is the one I'm interested in at the moment. Signed-off-by:

Konstantin Khlebnikov pointed out (nearly four years ago, when lumpy reclaim was removed) that lru_size can be updated by -nr_taken once per call to isolate_lru_pages(), instead of page by page. Update it inside isolate_lru_pages(), or at its two callsites? I chose to update it at the callsites, rearranging and grouping the updates by nr_taken and nr_scanned together in both. With one exception, mem_cgroup_update_lru_size(,lru,) is then used where __mod_zone_page_state(,NR_LRU_BASE+lru,) is used; and we shall be adding some more calls in a future commit. Make the code a little smaller and simpler by incorporating stat update in lru_size update. The exception was move_active_pages_to_lru(), which aggregated the pgmoved stat update separately from the individual lru_size updates; but I still think this a simplification worth making. However, the __mod_zone_page_state is not peculiar to mem_cgroups: so better use the name update_lru_size, calls mem_cgroup_update_lru_size when CONFIG_MEMCG. Signed-off-by:

Though debug kernels have a VM_BUG_ON to help protect from misaccounting lru_size, non-debug kernels are liable to wrap it around: and then the vast unsigned long size draws page reclaim into a loop of repeatedly doing nothing on an empty list, without even a cond_resched(). That soft lockup looks confusingly like an over-busy reclaim scenario, with lots of contention on the lru_lock in shrink_inactive_list(): yet has a totally different origin. Help differentiate with a custom warning in mem_cgroup_update_lru_size(), even in non-debug kernels; and reset the size to avoid the lockup. But the particular bug which suggested this change was mine alone, and since fixed. Make it a WARN_ONCE: the first occurrence is the most informative, a flurry may follow, yet even when rate-limited little more is learnt. Signed-off-by:

node_page_state() manually adds statistics per each zone and returns total value for all zones. Whenever we add a new zone, we need to consider this function and it's really troublesome. Make it handle all zones by itself. Signed-off-by:

ZONE_MOVABLE could be treated as highmem so we need to consider it for accurate statistics. And, in following patches, ZONE_CMA will be introduced and it can be treated as highmem, too. So, instead of manually adding stat of ZONE_MOVABLE, looping all zones and check whether the zone is highmem or not and add stat of the zone which can be treated as highmem. Signed-off-by:

There is a system thats node's pfns are overlapped as follows: -----pfn--------> N0 N1 N2 N0 N1 N2 Therefore, we need to care this overlapping when iterating pfn range. mark_free_pages() iterates requested zone's pfn range and unset all range's bitmap first. And then it marks freepages in a zone to the bitmap. If there is an overlapping zone, above unset could clear previous marked bit and reference to this bitmap in the future will cause the problem. To prevent it, this patch adds a zone check in mark_free_pages(). Signed-off-by:

__offline_isolated_pages() and test_pages_isolated() are used by memory hotplug. These functions require that range is in a single zone but there is no code to do this because memory hotplug checks it before calling these functions. To avoid confusing future user of these functions, this patch adds comments to them. Signed-off-by:

This patchset deals with some problematic sites that iterate pfn ranges. There is a system thats node's pfns are overlapped as follows: -----pfn--------> N0 N1 N2 N0 N1 N2 Therefore, we need to take care of this overlapping when iterating pfn range. I audit many iterating sites that uses pfn_valid(), pfn_valid_within(), zone_start_pfn and etc. and others looks safe to me. This is a preparation step for a new CMA implementation, ZONE_CMA (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/12/95), because it would be easily overlapped with other zones. But, zone overlap check is also needed for the general case so I send it separately. This patch (of 5): alloc_gigantic_page() uses alloc_contig_range() and this requires that the requested range is in a single zone. To satisfy this requirement, add this check to pfn_range_valid_gigantic(). Signed-off-by:
