      clear_refs: remove clear_refs_private->vma and introduce clear_refs_test_walk() · 5c64f52a
      Naoya Horiguchi authored
      clear_refs_write() has some prechecks to determine if we really walk over
      a given vma.  Now we have a test_walk() callback to filter vmas, so let's
      utilize it.

      smaps: remove mem_size_stats->vma and use walk_page_vma() · 14eb6fdd
      Naoya Horiguchi authored
      pagewalk.c can handle vma in itself, so we don't have to pass vma via
      walk->private.  And show_smap() walks pages on vma basis, so using
      walk_page_vma() is preferable.

      pagewalk: improve vma handling · fafaa426
      Naoya Horiguchi authored
      Current implementation of page table walker has a fundamental problem in
      vma handling, which started when we tried to handle vma(VM_HUGETLB).
      Because it's done in pgd loop, considering vma boundary makes code
      complicated and bug-prone.
      
      From the users viewpoint, some user checks some vma-related condition to
      determine whether the user really does page walk over the vma.
      
      In order to solve these, this patch moves vma check outside pgd loop and
      introduce a new callback ->test_walk().

      mm: gup: add get_user_pages_locked and get_user_pages_unlocked · f0818f47
      Andrea Arcangeli authored
      FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY allows the page fault to drop the mmap_sem for
      reading to reduce the mmap_sem contention (for writing), like while
      waiting for I/O completion.  The problem is that right now practically no
      get_user_pages call uses FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY, so we're not leveraging
      that nifty feature.
      
      Andres fixed it for the KVM page fault.  However get_user_pages_fast
      remains uncovered, and 99% of other get_user_pages aren't using it either
      (the only exception being FOLL_NOWAIT in KVM which is really nonblocking
      and in fact it doesn't even release the mmap_sem).
      
      So this patchsets extends the optimization Andres did in the KVM page
      fault to the whole kernel.  It makes most important places (including
      gup_fast) to use FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY to reduce the mmap_sem hold times
      during I/O.
      
      The only few places that remains uncovered are drivers like v4l and other
      exceptions that tends to work on their own memory and they're not working
      on random user memory (for example like O_DIRECT that uses gup_fast and is
      fully covered by this patch).
      
      A follow up patch should probably also add a printk_once warning to
      get_user_pages that should go obsolete and be phased out eventually.  The
      "vmas" parameter of get_user_pages makes it fundamentally incompatible
      with FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY (vmas array becomes meaningless the moment the
      mmap_sem is released).
      
      While this is just an optimization, this becomes an absolute requirement
      for the userfaultfd feature http://lwn.net/Articles/615086/ .
      
      The userfaultfd allows to block the page fault, and in order to do so I
      need to drop the mmap_sem first.  So this patch also ensures that all
      memory where userfaultfd could be registered by KVM, the very first fault
      (no matter if it is a regular page fault, or a get_user_pages) always has
      FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY set.  Then the userfaultfd blocks and it is waken
      only when the pagetable is already mapped.  The second fault attempt after
      the wakeup doesn't need FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY, so it's ok to retry
      without it.
      
      This patch (of 5):
      
      We can leverage the VM_FAULT_RETRY functionality in the page fault paths
      better by using either get_user_pages_locked or get_user_pages_unlocked.
      
      The former allows conversion of get_user_pages invocations that will have
      to pass a "&locked" parameter to know if the mmap_sem was dropped during
      the call.  Example from:
      
          down_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
          do_something()
          get_user_pages(tsk, mm, ..., pages, NULL);
          up_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
      
      to:
      
          int locked = 1;
          down_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
          do_something()
          get_user_pages_locked(tsk, mm, ..., pages, &locked);
          if (locked)
              up_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
      
      The latter is suitable only as a drop in replacement of the form:
      
          down_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
          get_user_pages(tsk, mm, ..., pages, NULL);
          up_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
      
      into:
      
          get_user_pages_unlocked(tsk, mm, ..., pages);
      
      Where tsk, mm, the intermediate "..." paramters and "pages" can be any
      value as before.  Just the last parameter of get_user_pages (vmas) must be
      NULL for get_user_pages_locked|unlocked to be usable (the latter original
      form wouldn't have been safe anyway if vmas wasn't null, for the former we
      just make it explicit by dropping the parameter).
      
      If vmas is not NULL these two methods cannot be used.

      mm/mempolicy.c: merge alloc_hugepage_vma to alloc_pages_vma · be97a41b
      Vlastimil Babka authored
      The previous commit ("mm/thp: Allocate transparent hugepages on local
      node") introduced alloc_hugepage_vma() to mm/mempolicy.c to perform a
      special policy for THP allocations.  The function has the same interface
      as alloc_pages_vma(), shares a lot of boilerplate code and a long
      comment.
      
      This patch merges the hugepage special case into alloc_pages_vma.  The
      extra if condition should be cheap enough price to pay.  We also prevent
      a (however unlikely) race with parallel mems_allowed update, which could
      make hugepage allocation restart only within the fallback call to
      alloc_hugepage_vma() and not reconsider the special rule in
      alloc_hugepage_vma().
      
      Also by making sure mpol_cond_put(pol) is always called before actual
      allocation attempt, we can use a single exit path within the function.
      
      Also update the comment for missing node parameter and obsolete reference
      to mm_sem.

      mm/thp: allocate transparent hugepages on local node · 077fcf11
      Aneesh Kumar K.V authored
      This make sure that we try to allocate hugepages from local node if
      allowed by mempolicy.  If we can't, we fallback to small page allocation
      based on mempolicy.  This is based on the observation that allocating
      pages on local node is more beneficial than allocating hugepages on remote
      node.
      
      With this patch applied we may find transparent huge page allocation
      failures if the current node doesn't have enough freee hugepages.  Before
      this patch such failures result in us retrying the allocation on other
      nodes in the numa node mask.

      mm/compaction: add tracepoint to observe behaviour of compaction defer · 24e2716f
      Joonsoo Kim authored
      Compaction deferring logic is heavy hammer that block the way to the
      compaction.  It doesn't consider overall system state, so it could prevent
      user from doing compaction falsely.  In other words, even if system has
      enough range of memory to compact, compaction would be skipped due to
      compaction deferring logic.  This patch add new tracepoint to understand
      work of deferring logic.  This will also help to check compaction success
      and fail.

      mm/compaction: enhance tracepoint output for compaction begin/end · 16c4a097
      Joonsoo Kim authored
      We now have tracepoint for begin event of compaction and it prints start
      position of both scanners, but, tracepoint for end event of compaction
      doesn't print finish position of both scanners.  It'd be also useful to
      know finish position of both scanners so this patch add it.  It will help
      to find odd behavior or problem on compaction internal logic.
      
      And mode is added to both begin/end tracepoint output, since according to
      mode, compaction behavior is quite different.
      
      And lastly, status format is changed to string rather than status number
      for readability.

      mm/compaction: change tracepoint format from decimal to hexadecimal · 4645f063
      Joonsoo Kim authored
      To check the range that compaction is working, tracepoint print
      start/end pfn of zone and start pfn of both scanner with decimal format.
      Since we manage all pages in order of 2 and it is well represented by
      hexadecimal, this patch change the tracepoint format from decimal to
      hexadecimal.  This would improve readability.  For example, it makes us
      easily notice whether current scanner try to compact previously
      attempted pageblock or not.

      mm: fix false-positive warning on exit due mm_nr_pmds(mm) · b30fe6c7
      Kirill A. Shutemov authored
      The problem is that we check nr_ptes/nr_pmds in exit_mmap() which happens
      *before* pgd_free().  And if an arch does pte/pmd allocation in
      pgd_alloc() and frees them in pgd_free() we see offset in counters by the
      time of the checks.
      
      We tried to workaround this by offsetting expected counter value according
      to FIRST_USER_ADDRESS for both nr_pte and nr_pmd in exit_mmap().  But it
      doesn't work in some cases:
      
      1. ARM with LPAE enabled also has non-zero USER_PGTABLES_CEILING, but
         upper addresses occupied with huge pmd entries, so the trick with
         offsetting expected counter value will get really ugly: we will have
         to apply it nr_pmds, but not nr_ptes.
      
      2. Metag has non-zero FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, but doesn't do allocation
         pte/pmd page tables allocation in pgd_alloc(), just setup a pgd entry
         which is allocated at boot and shared accross all processes.
      
      The proposal is to move the check to check_mm() which happens *after*
      pgd_free() and do proper accounting during pgd_alloc() and pgd_free()
      which would bring counters to zero if nothing leaked.

      mm: account pmd page tables to the process · dc6c9a35
      Kirill A. Shutemov authored
      Dave noticed that unprivileged process can allocate significant amount of
      memory -- >500 MiB on x86_64 -- and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and
      memory cgroup.  The trick is to allocate a lot of PMD page tables.  Linux
      kernel doesn't account PMD tables to the process, only PTE.
      
      The use-cases below use few tricks to allocate a lot of PMD page tables
      while keeping VmRSS and VmPTE low.  oom_score for the process will be 0.
      
      	#include <errno.h>
      	#include <stdio.h>
      	#include <stdlib.h>
      	#include <unistd.h>
      	#include <sys/mman.h>
      	#include <sys/prctl.h>
      
      	#define PUD_SIZE (1UL << 30)
      	#define PMD_SIZE (1UL << 21)
      
      	#define NR_PUD 130000
      
      	int main(void)
      	{
      		char *addr = NULL;
      		unsigned long i;
      
      		prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE);
      		for (i = 0; i < NR_PUD ; i++) {
      			addr = mmap(addr + PUD_SIZE, PUD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ,
      					MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0);
      			if (addr == MAP_FAILED) {
      				perror("mmap");
      				break;
      			}
      			*addr = 'x';
      			munmap(addr, PMD_SIZE);
      			mmap(addr, PMD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ,
      					MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, -1, 0);
      			if (addr == MAP_FAILED)
      				perror("re-mmap"), exit(1);
      		}
      		printf("PID %d consumed %lu KiB in PMD page tables\n",
      				getpid(), i * 4096 >> 10);
      		return pause();
      	}
      
      The patch addresses the issue by account PMD tables to the process the
      same way we account PTE.
      
      The main place where PMD tables is accounted is __pmd_alloc() and
      free_pmd_range(). But there're few corner cases:
      
       - HugeTLB can share PMD page tables. The patch handles by accounting
         the table to all processes who share it.
      
       - x86 PAE pre-allocates few PMD tables on fork.
      
       - Architectures with FIRST_USER_ADDRESS > 0. We need to adjust sanity
         check on exit(2).
      
      Accounting only happens on configuration where PMD page table's level is
      present (PMD is not folded).  As with nr_ptes we use per-mm counter.  The
      counter value is used to calculate baseline for badness score by
      oom-killer.

      oom, PM: make OOM detection in the freezer path raceless · c32b3cbe
      Michal Hocko authored
      Commit 5695be14 ("OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM
      suspend") has left a race window when OOM killer manages to
      note_oom_kill after freeze_processes checks the counter.  The race
      window is quite small and really unlikely and partial solution deemed
      sufficient at the time of submission.
      
      Tejun wasn't happy about this partial solution though and insisted on a
      full solution.  That requires the full OOM and freezer's task freezing
      exclusion, though.  This is done by this patch which introduces oom_sem
      RW lock and turns oom_killer_disable() into a full OOM barrier.
      
      oom_killer_disabled check is moved from the allocation path to the OOM
      level and we take oom_sem for reading for both the check and the whole
      OOM invocation.
      
      oom_killer_disable() takes oom_sem for writing so it waits for all
      currently running OOM killer invocations.  Then it disable all the further
      OOMs by setting oom_killer_disabled and checks for any oom victims.
      Victims are counted via mark_tsk_oom_victim resp.  unmark_oom_victim.  The
      last victim wakes up all waiters enqueued by oom_killer_disable().
      Therefore this function acts as the full OOM barrier.
      
      The page fault path is covered now as well although it was assumed to be
      safe before.  As per Tejun, "We used to have freezing points deep in file
      system code which may be reacheable from page fault." so it would be
      better and more robust to not rely on freezing points here.  Same applies
      to the memcg OOM killer.
      
      out_of_memory tells the caller whether the OOM was allowed to trigger and
      the callers are supposed to handle the situation.  The page allocation
      path simply fails the allocation same as before.  The page fault path will
      retry the fault (more on that later) and Sysrq OOM trigger will simply
      complain to the log.
      
      Normally there wouldn't be any unfrozen user tasks after
      try_to_freeze_tasks so the function will not block. But if there was an
      OOM killer racing with try_to_freeze_tasks and the OOM victim didn't
      finish yet then we have to wait for it. This should complete in a finite

      oom: thaw the OOM victim if it is frozen · 63a8ca9b
      Michal Hocko authored
      oom_kill_process only sets TIF_MEMDIE flag and sends a signal to the
      victim.  This is basically noop when the task is frozen though because the
      task sleeps in the uninterruptible sleep.  The victim is eventually thawed
      later when oom_scan_process_thread meets the task again in a later OOM
      invocation so the OOM killer doesn't live lock.  But this is less than
      optimal.
      
      Let's add __thaw_task into mark_tsk_oom_victim after we set TIF_MEMDIE to
      the victim.  We are not checking whether the task is frozen because that
      would be racy and __thaw_task does that already.  oom_scan_process_thread
      doesn't need to care about freezer anymore as TIF_MEMDIE and freezer are
      excluded completely now.

      oom: add helpers for setting and clearing TIF_MEMDIE · 49550b60
      Michal Hocko authored
      This patchset addresses a race which was described in the changelog for
      5695be14 ("OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspend"):
      
      : PM freezer relies on having all tasks frozen by the time devices are
      : getting frozen so that no task will touch them while they are getting
      : frozen.  But OOM killer is allowed to kill an already frozen task in order
      : to handle OOM situtation.  In order to protect from late wake ups OOM
      : killer is disabled after all tasks are frozen.  This, however, still keeps
      : a window open when a killed task didn't manage to die by the time
      : freeze_processes finishes.
      
      The original patch hasn't closed the race window completely because that
      would require a more complex solution as it can be seen by this patchset.
      
      The primary motivation was to close the race condition between OOM killer
      and PM freezer _completely_.  As Tejun pointed out, even though the race
      condition is unlikely the harder it would be to debug weird bugs deep in
      the PM freezer when the debugging options are reduced considerably.  I can
      only speculate what might happen when a task is still runnable
      unexpectedly.
      
      On a plus side and as a side effect the oom enable/disable has a better
      (full barrier) semantic without polluting hot paths.
      
      I have tested the series in KVM with 100M RAM:
      - many small tasks (20M anon mmap) which are triggering OOM continually
      - s2ram which resumes automatically is triggered in a loop
      	echo processors > /sys/power/pm_test
      	while true
      	do
      		echo mem > /sys/power/state
      		sleep 1s
      	done
      - simple module which allocates and frees 20M in 8K chunks. If it sees
        freezing(current) then it tries another round of allocation before calling
        try_to_freeze
      - debugging messages of PM stages and OOM killer enable/disable/fail added
        and unmark_oom_victim is delayed by 1s after it clears TIF_MEMDIE and before
        it wakes up waiters.
      - rebased on top of the current mmotm which means some necessary updates
        in mm/oom_kill.c. mark_tsk_oom_victim is now called under task_lock but
        I think this should be OK because __thaw_task shouldn't interfere with any
        locking down wake_up_process. Oleg?
      
      As expected there are no OOM killed tasks after oom is disabled and
      allocations requested by the kernel thread are failing after all the tasks
      are frozen and OOM disabled.  I wasn't able to catch a race where
      oom_killer_disable would really have to wait but I kinda expected the race
      is really unlikely.

      The first 2 patches are simple cleanups for OOM.  They should go in

      Patches 3 and 4 are trivial printk -> pr_info conversion and they should
      go in ditto.
      
      The main patch is the last one and I would appreciate acks from Tejun and
      Rafael.  I think the OOM part should be OK (except for __thaw_task vs.
      task_lock where a look from Oleg would appreciated) but I am not so sure I
      haven't screwed anything in the freezer code.  I have found several
      surprises there.
      
      This patch (of 5):
      
      This patch is just a preparatory and it doesn't introduce any functional
      change.
      
      Note:
      I am utterly unhappy about lowmemory killer abusing TIF_MEMDIE just to
      wait for the oom victim and to prevent from new killing. This is
      just a side effect of the flag. The primary meaning is to give the oom
      victim access to the memory reserves and that shouldn't be necessary
      here.

      mm: memcontrol: default hierarchy interface for memory · 241994ed
      Johannes Weiner authored
      Introduce the basic control files to account, partition, and limit
      memory using cgroups in default hierarchy mode.
      
      This interface versioning allows us to address fundamental design
      issues in the existing memory cgroup interface, further explained
      below.  The old interface will be maintained indefinitely, but a
      clearer model and improved workload performance should encourage
      existing users to switch over to the new one eventually.
      
      The control files are thus:
      
        - memory.current shows the current consumption of the cgroup and its
          descendants, in bytes.
      
        - memory.low configures the lower end of the cgroup's expected
          memory consumption range.  The kernel considers memory below that
          boundary to be a reserve - the minimum that the workload needs in
          order to make forward progress - and generally avoids reclaiming
          it, unless there is an imminent risk of entering an OOM situation.
      
        - memory.high configures the upper end of the cgroup's expected
          memory consumption range.  A cgroup whose consumption grows beyond
          this threshold is forced into direct reclaim, to work off the
          excess and to throttle new allocations heavily, but is generally
          allowed to continue and the OOM killer is not invoked.
      
        - memory.max configures the hard maximum amount of memory that the
          cgroup is allowed to consume before the OOM killer is invoked.
      
        - memory.events shows event counters that indicate how often the
          cgroup was reclaimed while below memory.low, how often it was
          forced to reclaim excess beyond memory.high, how often it hit
          memory.max, and how often it entered OOM due to memory.max.  This
          allows users to identify configuration problems when observing a
          degradation in workload performance.  An overcommitted system will
          have an increased rate of low boundary breaches, whereas increased
          rates of high limit breaches, maximum hits, or even OOM situations
          will indicate internally overcommitted cgroups.
      
      For existing users of memory cgroups, the following deviations from
      the current interface are worth pointing out and explaining:
      
        - The original lower boundary, the soft limit, is defined as a limit
          that is per default unset.  As a result, the set of cgroups that
          global reclaim prefers is opt-in, rather than opt-out.  The costs
          for optimizing these mostly negative lookups are so high that the
          implementation, despite its enormous size, does not even provide
          the basic desirable behavior.  First off, the soft limit has no
          hierarchical meaning.  All configured groups are organized in a
          global rbtree and treated like equal peers, regardless where they
          are located in the hierarchy.  This makes subtree delegation
          impossible.  Second, the soft limit reclaim pass is so aggressive
          that it not just introduces high allocation latencies into the
          system, but also impacts system performance due to overreclaim, to
          the point where the feature becomes self-defeating.
      
          The memory.low boundary on the other hand is a top-down allocated
          reserve.  A cgroup enjoys reclaim protection when it and all its
          ancestors are below their low boundaries, which makes delegation
          of subtrees possible.  Secondly, new cgroups have no reserve per
          default and in the common case most cgroups are eligible for the
          preferred reclaim pass.  This allows the new low boundary to be
          efficiently implemented with just a minor addition to the generic
          reclaim code, without the need for out-of-band data structures and
          reclaim passes.  Because the generic reclaim code considers all
          cgroups except for the ones running low in the preferred first
          reclaim pass, overreclaim of individual groups is eliminated as
          well, resulting in much better overall workload performance.
      
        - The original high boundary, the hard limit, is defined as a strict
          limit that can not budge, even if the OOM killer has to be called.
          But this generally goes against the goal of making the most out of
          the available memory.  The memory consumption of workloads varies
          during runtime, and that requires users to overcommit.  But doing
          that with a strict upper limit requires either a fairly accurate
          prediction of the working set size or adding slack to the limit.
          Since working set size estimation is hard and error prone, and
          getting it wrong results in OOM kills, most users tend to err on
          the side of a looser limit and end up wasting precious resources.
      
          The memory.high boundary on the other hand can be set much more
          conservatively.  When hit, it throttles allocations by forcing
          them into direct reclaim to work off the excess, but it never
          invokes the OOM killer.  As a result, a high boundary that is
          chosen too aggressively will not terminate the processes, but
          instead it will lead to gradual performance degradation.  The user
          can monitor this and make corrections until the minimal memory
          footprint that still gives acceptable performance is found.
      
          In extreme cases, with many concurrent allocations and a complete
          breakdown of reclaim progress within the group, the high boundary
          can be exceeded.  But even then it's mostly better to satisfy the
          allocation from the slack available in other groups or the rest of
          the system than killing the group.  Otherwise, memory.max is there
          to limit this type of spillover and ultimately contain buggy or
          even malicious applications.
      
        - The original control file names are unwieldy and inconsistent in
          many different ways.  For example, the upper boundary hit count is
          exported in the memory.failcnt file, but an OOM event count has to
          be manually counted by listening to memory.oom_control events, and
          lower boundary / soft limit events have to be counted by first
          setting a threshold for that value and then counting those events.
          Also, usage and limit files encode their units in the filename.
          That makes the filenames very long, even though this is not
          information that a user needs to be reminded of every time they
          type out those names.
      
          To address these naming issues, as well as to signal clearly that
          the new interface carries a new configuration model, the naming
          conventions in it necessarily differ from the old interface.
      
        - The original limit files indicate the state of an unset limit with
          a very high number, and a configured limit can be unset by echoing
          -1 into those files.  But that very high number is implementation
          and architecture dependent and not very descriptive.  And while -1
          can be understood as an underflow into the highest possible value,
          -2 or -10M etc. do not work, so it's not inconsistent.
      
          memory.low, memory.high, and memory.max will use the string
          "infinity" to indicate and set the highest possible value.

      vmscan: force scan offline memory cgroups · 90cbc250
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      Since commit b2052564 ("mm: memcontrol: continue cache reclaim from
      offlined groups") pages charged to a memory cgroup are not reparented when
      the cgroup is removed.  Instead, they are supposed to be reclaimed in a
      regular way, along with pages accounted to online memory cgroups.
      
      However, an lruvec of an offline memory cgroup will sooner or later get so
      small that it will be scanned only at low scan priorities (see
      get_scan_count()).  Therefore, if there are enough reclaimable pages in
      big lruvecs, pages accounted to offline memory cgroups will never be
      scanned at all, wasting memory.
      
      Fix this by unconditionally forcing scanning dead lruvecs from kswapd.
