Particularly in oom conditions, it's troublesome that hugetlb memory is not displayed. All other meminfo that is emitted will not add up to what is expected, and there is no artifact left in the kernel log to show that a potentially significant amount of memory is actually allocated as hugepages which are not available to be reclaimed. Booting with hugepages=8192 on the command line, this memory is now shown in oom conditions. For example, with echo m > /proc/sysrq-trigger: Node 0 hugepages_total=2048 hugepages_free=2048 hugepages_surp=0 hugepages_size=2048kB Node 1 hugepages_total=2048 hugepages_free=2048 hugepages_surp=0 hugepages_size=2048kB Node 2 hugepages_total=2048 hugepages_free=2048 hugepages_surp=0 hugepages_size=2048kB Node 3 hugepages_total=2048 hugepages_free=2048 hugepages_surp=0 hugepages_size=2048kB [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by:

ARM processors with LPAE enabled use 3 levels of page tables, with an entry in the top level (pgd) covering 1GB of virtual space. Because of the branch relocation limitations on ARM, the loadable modules are mapped 16MB below PAGE_OFFSET, making the corresponding 1GB pgd shared between kernel modules and user space. If free_pgtables() is called with the default ceiling 0, free_pgd_range() (and subsequently called functions) also frees the page table shared between user space and kernel modules (which is normally handled by the ARM-specific pgd_free() function). This patch changes defines the ARM USER_PGTABLES_CEILING to TASK_SIZE when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is enabled. Note that the pgd_free() function already checks the presence of the shared pmd page allocated by pgd_alloc() and frees it, though with ceiling 0 this wasn't necessary. Signed-off-by:

On architectures where a pgd entry may be shared between user and kernel (e.g. ARM+LPAE), freeing page tables needs a ceiling other than 0. This patch introduces a generic USER_PGTABLES_CEILING that arch code can override. It is the responsibility of the arch code setting the ceiling to ensure the complete freeing of the page tables (usually in pgd_free()).

Now, vmap_area_list is exported as VMCOREINFO for makedumpfile to get the start address of vmalloc region (vmalloc_start). The address which contains vmalloc_start value is represented as below: vmap_area_list.next - OFFSET(vmap_area.list) + OFFSET(vmap_area.va_start) However, both OFFSET(vmap_area.va_start) and OFFSET(vmap_area.list) aren't exported as VMCOREINFO.

Although our intention is to unexport internal structure entirely, but there is one exception for kexec. kexec dumps address of vmlist and makedumpfile uses this information. We are about to remove vmlist, then another way to retrieve information of vmalloc layer is needed for makedumpfile. For this purpose, we export vmap_area_list, instead of vmlist. Signed-off-by:

This patch is a preparatory step for removing vmlist entirely. For above purpose, we change iterating a vmap_list codes to iterating a vmap_area_list. It is somewhat trivial change, but just one thing should be noticed. Using vmap_area_list in vmallocinfo() introduce ordering problem in SMP system. In s_show(), we retrieve some values from vm_struct. vm_struct's values is not fully setup when va->vm is assigned. Full setup is notified by removing VM_UNLIST flag without holding a lock. When we see that VM_UNLIST is removed, it is not ensured that vm_struct has proper values in view of other CPUs. So we need smp_[rw]mb for ensuring that proper values is assigned when we see that VM_UNLIST is removed. Therefore, this patch not only change a iteration list, but also add a appropriate smp_[rw]mb to right places. Signed-off-by:

It is somewhat trivial change, but just one thing should be noticed. vmlist is lack of information about some areas in vmalloc address space. For example, vm_map_ram() allocate area in vmalloc address space, but it doesn't make a link with vmlist. To provide full information about vmalloc address space is better idea, so we don't use va->vm and use vmap_area directly. This makes get_vmalloc_info() more precise. Signed-off-by:

Now, when we hold a vmap_area_lock, va->vm can't be discarded. So we can safely access to va->vm when iterating a vmap_area_list with holding a vmap_area_lock. With this property, change iterating vmlist codes in vread/vwrite() to iterating vmap_area_list. There is a little difference relate to lock, because vmlist_lock is mutex, but, vmap_area_lock is spin_lock. It may introduce a spinning overhead during vread/vwrite() is executing. But, these are debug-oriented functions, so this overhead is not real problem for common case. Signed-off-by:

Inserting and removing an entry to vmlist is linear time complexity, so it is inefficient. Following patches will try to remove vmlist entirely. This patch is preparing step for it. For removing vmlist, iterating vmlist codes should be changed to iterating a vmap_area_list. Before implementing that, we should make sure that when we iterate a vmap_area_list, accessing to va->vm doesn't cause a race condition. This patch ensure that when iterating a vmap_area_list, there is no race condition for accessing to vm_struct. Signed-off-by:

Now get_vmalloc_info() is in fs/proc/mmu.c. There is no reason that this code must be here and it's implementation needs vmlist_lock and it iterate a vmlist which may be internal data structure for vmalloc. It is preferable that vmlist_lock and vmlist is only used in vmalloc.c for maintainability. So move the code to vmalloc.c Signed-off-by:

This patchset removes vm_struct list management after initializing vmalloc. Adding and removing an entry to vmlist is linear time complexity, so it is inefficient. If we maintain this list, overall time complexity of adding and removing area to vmalloc space is O(N), although we use rbtree for finding vacant place and it's time complexity is just O(logN). And vmlist and vmlist_lock is used many places of outside of vmalloc.c. It is preferable that we hide this raw data structure and provide well-defined function for supporting them, because it makes that they cannot mistake when manipulating theses structure and it makes us easily maintain vmalloc layer. For kexec and makedumpfile, I export vmap_area_list, instead of vmlist. This comes from Atsushi's recommendation. For more information, please refer below link. https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/6/184 This patch: The purpose of iterating a vmlist is finding vm area with specific virtual address. find_vm_area() is provided for this purpose and more efficient, because it uses a rbtree.

Walking a bio's page mappings has proved problematic, so create a new bio flag to indicate that a bio's data needs to be snapshotted in order to guarantee stable pages during writeback. Next, for the one user (ext3/jbd) of snapshotting, hook all the places where writes can be initiated without PG_writeback set, and set BIO_SNAP_STABLE there. We must also flag journal "metadata" bios for stable writeout, since file data can be written through the journal. Finally, the MS_SNAP_STABLE mount flag (only used by ext3) is now superfluous, so get rid of it.

Commit abf09bed ("s390/mm: implement software dirty bits") introduced another difference in the pte layout vs. the pmd layout on s390, thoroughly breaking the s390 support for hugetlbfs. This requires replacing some more pte_xxx functions in mm/hugetlbfs.c with a huge_pte_xxx version. This patch introduces those huge_pte_xxx functions and their generic implementation in asm-generic/hugetlb.h, which will now be included on all architectures supporting hugetlbfs apart from s390. This change will be a no-op for those architectures. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warning] Signed-off-by:

mem_cgroup_iter basically does two things currently. It takes care of the house keeping (reference counting, raclaim cookie) and it iterates through a hierarchy tree (by using cgroup generic tree walk). The code would be much more easier to follow if we move the iteration outside of the function (to __mem_cgrou_iter_next) so the distinction is more clear. This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes. Signed-off-by:

The current implementation of mem_cgroup_iter has to consider both css and memcg to find out whether no group has been found (css==NULL - aka the loop is completed) and that no memcg is associated with the found node (!memcg - aka css_tryget failed because the group is no longer alive). This leads to awkward tweaks like tests for css && !memcg to skip the current node. It will be much easier if we got rid off css variable altogether and only rely on memcg. In order to do that the iteration part has to skip dead nodes. This sounds natural to me and as a nice side effect we will get a simple invariant that memcg is always alive when non-NULL and all nodes have been visited otherwise. We could get rid of the surrounding while loop but keep it in for now to make review easier. It will go away in the following patch. Signed-off-by:

Now that the per-node-zone-priority iterator caches memory cgroups rather than their css ids we have to be careful and remove them from the iterator when they are on the way out otherwise they might live for unbounded amount of time even though their group is already gone (until the global/targeted reclaim triggers the zone under priority to find out the group is dead and let it to find the final rest). We can fix this issue by relaxing rules for the last_visited memcg. Instead of taking a reference to the css before it is stored into iter->last_visited we can just store its pointer and track the number of removed groups from each memcg's subhierarchy. This number would be stored into iterator everytime when a memcg is cached. If the iter count doesn't match the curent walker root's one we will start from the root again. The group counter is incremented upwards the hierarchy every time a group is removed. The iter_lock can be dropped because racing iterators cannot leak the reference anymore as the reference count is not elevated for last_visited when it is cached. Locking rules got a bit complicated by this change though. The iterator primarily relies on rcu read lock which makes sure that once we see a valid last_visited pointer then it will be valid for the whole RCU walk. smp_rmb makes sure that dead_count is read before last_visited and last_dead_count while smp_wmb makes sure that last_visited is updated before last_dead_count so the up-to-date last_dead_count cannot point to an outdated last_visited. css_tryget then makes sure that the last_visited is still alive in case the iteration races with the cached group removal (css is invalidated before mem_cgroup_css_offline increments dead_count). In short: mem_cgroup_iter rcu_read_lock() dead_count = atomic_read(parent->dead_count) smp_rmb() if (dead_count != iter->last_dead_count) last_visited POSSIBLY INVALID -> last_visited = NULL if (!css_tryget(iter->last_visited)) last_visited DEAD -> last_visited = NULL next = find_next(last_visited) css_tryget(next) css_put(last_visited) // css would be invalidated and parent->dead_count // incremented if this was the last reference iter->last_visited = next smp_wmb() iter->last_dead_count = dead_count rcu_read_unlock() cgroup_rmdir cgroup_destroy_locked atomic_add(CSS_DEACT_BIAS, &css->refcnt) // subsequent css_tryget fail mem_cgroup_css_offline mem_cgroup_invalidate_reclaim_iterators while(parent = parent_mem_cgroup) atomic_inc(parent->dead_count) css_put(css) // last reference held by cgroup core Spotted by Ying Han.

mem_cgroup_iter curently relies on css->id when walking down a group hierarchy tree. This is really awkward because the tree walk depends on the groups creation ordering. The only guarantee is that a parent node is visited before its children. Example: 1) mkdir -p a a/d a/b/c 2) mkdir -a a/b/c a/d Will create the same trees but the tree walks will be different: 1) a, d, b, c 2) a, b, c, d Commit 574bd9f7 ("cgroup: implement generic child / descendant walk macros") has introduced generic cgroup tree walkers which provide either pre-order or post-order tree walk. This patch converts css->id based iteration to pre-order tree walk to keep the semantic with the original iterator where parent is always visited before its subtree. cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre suggests using post_create and pre_destroy for proper synchronization with groups addidition resp. removal. This implementation doesn't use those because a new memory cgroup is initialized sufficiently for iteration in mem_cgroup_css_alloc already and css reference counting enforces that the group is alive for both the last seen cgroup and the found one resp. it signals that the group is dead and it should be skipped. If the reclaim cookie is used we need to store the last visited group into the iterator so we have to be careful that it doesn't disappear in the mean time. Elevated reference count on the css keeps it alive even though the group have been removed (parked waiting for the last dput so that it can be freed). Per node-zone-prio iter_lock has been introduced to ensure that css_tryget and iter->last_visited is set atomically. Otherwise two racing walkers could both take a references and only one release it leading to a css leak (which pins cgroup dentry). Signed-off-by:

The patchset tries to make mem_cgroup_iter saner in the way how it walks hierarchies. css->id based traversal is far from being ideal as it is not deterministic because it depends on the creation ordering. Additional to that css_id is considered a burden for cgroup maintainers because it is quite some code and memcg is the last user of it. After this series only the swap accounting uses css_id but that one will follow up later. Diffstat (if we exclude removed/added comments) looks quite promising. We got rid of some code: $ git diff mmotm... | grep -v "^[+-][[:space:]]*[/ ]\*" | diffstat b/include/linux/cgroup.h | 3 --- kernel/cgroup.c | 33 --------------------------------- mm/memcontrol.c | 4 +++- 3 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 37 deletions(-) The first patch is just preparatory and it changes when we release css of the previously returned memcg. Nothing controlversial. The second patch is the core of the patchset and it replaces css_get_next based on css_id by the generic cgroup pre-order. This brings some chalanges for the last visited group caching during the reclaim (mem_cgroup_per_zone::reclaim_iter). We have to use memcg pointers directly now which means that we have to keep a reference to those groups' css to keep them alive. I also folded iter_lock introduced by https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/3/295 in the previous version into this patch. Johannes felt the race I was describing should be mostly harmless and I haven't been able to trigger it so the lock doesn't deserve its own patch. It is still needed temporarily, though, because the reference counting on iter->last_visited depends on it. It will go away with the next patch. The next patch fixups an unbounded cgroup removal holdoff caused by the elevated css refcount. The issue has been observed by Ying Han. Johannes wasn't impressed by the previous version of the fix (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/2/8/379) which cleaned up pending references during mem_cgroup_css_offline when a group is removed. He has suggested a different way when the iterator checks whether a cached memcg is still valid or no. More on that in the patch but the basic idea is that every memcg tracks the number removed subgroups and iterator records this number when a group is cached. These numbers are checked before iter->last_visited is about to be used and the iteration is restarted if it is invalid. The fourth and fifth patches are an attempt for simplification of the mem_cgroup_iter. css juggling is removed and the iteration logic is moved to a helper so that the reference counting and iteration are separated. The last patch just removes css_get_next as there is no user for it any longer. My testing looked as follows: A (use_hierarchy=1, limit_in_bytes=150M) /|\ 1 2 3 Children groups were created so that the number is never higher than 3 and their limits were random between 50-100M. Each group hosts a kernel build (starting with tar -xf so the tree is not shared and make -jNUM_CPUs/3) and terminated after random time - up to 5 minutes) and then it is removed. This should exercise both leaf and hierarchical reclaim as well as races with cgroup removals and debugging messages I added on top proved that. 100 groups were created during the test. This patch: css reference counting keeps the cgroup alive even though it has been already removed. mem_cgroup_iter relies on this fact and takes a reference to the returned group. The reference is then released on the next iteration or mem_cgroup_iter_break. mem_cgroup_iter currently releases the reference right after it gets the last css_id. This is correct because neither prev's memcg nor cgroup are accessed after then. This will change in the next patch so we need to hold the group alive a bit longer so let's move the css_put at the end of the function. Signed-off-by:

The original goal of this patchset is to fix the bug reported by https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501 Now it has also been expanded to reduce common code used by memory initializion. This is the second part, which applies to the previous part at: http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=136289696323825&w=2 It introduces a helper function free_highmem_page() to free highmem pages into the buddy system when initializing mm subsystem. Introduction of free_highmem_page() is one step forward to clean up accesses and modificaitons of totalhigh_pages, totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages etc. I hope we could remove all references to totalhigh_pages from the arch/ subdirectory. We have only tested these patchset on x86 platforms, and have done basic compliation tests using cross-compilers from ftp.kernel.org. That means some code may not pass compilation on some architectures. So any help to test this patchset are welcomed! There are several other parts still under development: Part3: refine code to manage totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and zone->managed_pages Part4: introduce helper functions to simplify mem_init() and remove the global variable num_physpages. This patch: Introduce helper function free_highmem_page(), which will be used by architectures with HIGHMEM enabled to free highmem pages into the buddy system. Signed-off-by:
