Fix an nr_isolate_* mismatch problem between cma and dirty lazyfree pages. If try_to_unmap_one is used for reclaim and it detects a dirty lazyfree page, then the lazyfree page is changed to a normal anon page having SwapBacked by commit 802a3a92 ("mm: reclaim MADV_FREE pages"). Even with the change, reclaim context correctly counts isolated files because it uses is_file_lru to distinguish file. And the change to anon is not happened if try_to_unmap_one is used for migration. So migration context like compaction also correctly counts isolated files even though it uses page_is_file_lru insted of is_file_lru. Recently page_is_file_cache was renamed to page_is_file_lru by commit 9de4f22a ("mm: code cleanup for MADV_FREE"). But the nr_isolate_* mismatch problem happens on cma alloc. There is reclaim_clean_pages_from_list which is being used only by cma. It was introduced by commit 02c6de8d ("mm: cma: discard clean pages during contiguous allocation instead of migration") to reclaim clean file pages without migration. The cma alloc uses both reclaim_clean_pages_from_list and migrate_pages, and it uses page_is_file_lru to count isolated files. If there are dirty lazyfree pages allocated from cma memory region, the pages are counted as isolated file at the beginging but are counted as isolated anon after finished. Mem-Info: Node 0 active_anon:3045904kB inactive_anon:611448kB active_file:14892kB inactive_file:205636kB unevictable:10416kB isolated(anon):0kB isolated(file):37664kB mapped:630216kB dirty:384kB writeback:0kB shmem:42576kB writeback_tmp:0kB unstable:0kB all_unreclaimable? no Like log above, there were too much isolated files, 37664kB, which triggers too_many_isolated in reclaim even when there is no actually isolated file in system wide. It could be reproducible by running two programs, writing on MADV_FREE page and doing cma alloc, respectively. Although isolated anon is 0, I found that the internal value of isolated anon was the negative value of isolated file. Fix this by compensating the isolated count for both LRU lists. Count non-discarded lazyfree pages in shrink_page_list, then compensate the counted number in reclaim_clean_pages_from_list. Reported-by:

Patch series "mm/hugetlb: Add some new generic fallbacks", v3. This series adds the following new generic fallbacks. Before that it drops __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_PTEP_GET from arm64 platform. 1. is_hugepage_only_range() 2. arch_clear_hugepage_flags() After this arm (32 bit) remains the sole platform defining it's own huge_ptep_get() via __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_PTEP_GET. This patch (of 3): Platform specific huge_ptep_get() is required only when fetching the huge PTE involves more than just dereferencing the page table pointer. This is not the case on arm64 platform. Hence huge_ptep_pte() can be dropped along with it's __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_PTEP_GET subscription. Before that, it updates the generic huge_ptep_get() with READ_ONCE() which will prevent known page table issues with THP on arm64. Signed-off-by:

When huge_pte_offset() is called, the parameter sz can only be PUD_SIZE or PMD_SIZE. If sz is PUD_SIZE and code can reach pud, then *pud must be none, or normal hugetlb entry, or non-present (migration or hwpoisoned) hugetlb entry, and we can directly return pud. When sz is PMD_SIZE, pud must be none or present, and if code can reach pmd, we can directly return pmd. So after this patch the code is simplified by first check on the parameter sz, and avoid unnecessary checks in current code. Same semantics of existing code is maintained. More details about relevant commits: commit 9b19df29 ("mm/hugetlb.c: make huge_pte_offset() consistent and document behaviour") changed the code path for pud and pmd handling, see comments about why this patch intends to change it. ... pud = pud_offset(p4d, addr); if (sz != PUD_SIZE && pud_none(*pud)) // [1] return NULL; /* hugepage or swap? */ if (pud_huge(*pud) || !pud_present(*pud)) // [2] return (pte_t *)pud; pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr); if (sz != PMD_SIZE && pmd_none(*pmd)) // [3] return NULL; /* hugepage or swap? */ if (pmd_huge(*pmd) || !pmd_present(*pmd)) // [4] return (pte_t *)pmd; return NULL; // [5] ... [1]: this is necessary, return NULL for sz == PMD_SIZE; [2]: if sz == PUD_SIZE, all valid values of pud entry will cause return; [3]: dead code, sz != PMD_SIZE never true; [4]: all valid values of pmd entry will cause return; [5]: dead code, because of check in [4]. Now, this patch combines [1] and [2] for pud, and combines [3], [4] and [5] for pmd, so avoid unnecessary checks. I don't try to catch any invalid values in page table entry, as that will be checked by caller and avoid extra branch in this function. Also no assert on sz must equal PUD_SIZE or PMD_SIZE, since this function only call for hugetlb mapping. For commit 3c1d7e6c ("mm/hugetlb: fix a addressing exception caused by huge_pte_offset"), since we don't read the entry more than once now, variable pud_entry and pmd_entry are not needed.

Previously, a check for hugepages_supported was added before processing hugetlb command line parameters. On some architectures such as powerpc, hugepages_supported() is not set to true until after command line processing. Therefore, no hugetlb command line parameters would be accepted. Remove the additional checks for hugepages_supported. In hugetlb_init, print a warning if !hugepages_supported and command line parameters were specified. Reported-by:

With all hugetlb page processing done in a single file clean up code. - Make code match desired semantics - Update documentation with semantics - Make all warnings and errors messages start with 'HugeTLB:'. - Consistently name command line parsing routines. - Warn if !hugepages_supported() and command line parameters have been specified. - Add comments to code - Describe some of the subtle interactions - Describe semantics of command line arguments This patch also fixes issues with implicitly setting the number of gigantic huge pages to preallocate. Previously on X86 command line, hugepages=2 default_hugepagesz=1G would result in zero 1G pages being preallocated and, # grep HugePages_Total /proc/meminfo HugePages_Total: 0 # sysctl -a | grep nr_hugepages vm.nr_hugepages = 2 vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy = 2 # cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages 2 After this patch 2 gigantic pages will be preallocated and all the proc, sysfs, sysctl and meminfo files will accurately reflect this. To address the issue with gigantic pages, a small change in behavior was made to command line processing. Previously the command line, hugepages=128 default_hugepagesz=2M hugepagesz=2M hugepages=256 would result in the allocation of 256 2M huge pages. The value 128 would be ignored without any warning. After this patch, 128 2M pages will be allocated and a warning message will be displayed indicating the value of 256 is ignored. This change in behavior is required because allocation of implicitly specified gigantic pages must be done when the default_hugepagesz= is encountered for gigantic pages. Previously the code waited until later in the boot process (hugetlb_init), to allocate pages of default size. However the bootmem allocator required for gigantic allocations is not available at this time.

hugetlb_add_hstate() prints a warning if the hstate already exists. This was originally done as part of kernel command line parsing. If 'hugepagesz=' was specified more than once, the warning pr_warn("hugepagesz= specified twice, ignoring\n"); would be printed. Some architectures want to enable all huge page sizes. They would call hugetlb_add_hstate for all supported sizes. However, this was done after command line processing and as a result hstates could have already been created for some sizes. To make sure no warning were printed, there would often be code like: if (!size_to_hstate(size) hugetlb_add_hstate(ilog2(size) - PAGE_SHIFT) The only time we want to print the warning is as the result of command line processing. So, remove the warning from hugetlb_add_hstate and add it to the single arch independent routine processing "hugepagesz=". After this, calls to size_to_hstate() in arch specific code can be removed and hugetlb_add_hstate can be called without worrying about warning messages.

Now that architectures provide arch_hugetlb_valid_size(), parsing of "hugepagesz=" can be done in architecture independent code. Create a single routine to handle hugepagesz= parsing and remove all arch specific routines. We can also remove the interface hugetlb_bad_size() as this is no longer used outside arch independent code. This also provides consistent behavior of hugetlbfs command line options. The hugepagesz= option should only be specified once for a specific size, but some architectures allow multiple instances. This appears to be more of an oversight when code was added by some architectures to set up ALL huge pages sizes. Signed-off-by:

Patch series "Clean up hugetlb boot command line processing", v4. Longpeng(Mike) reported a weird message from hugetlb command line processing and proposed a solution [1]. While the proposed patch does address the specific issue, there are other related issues in command line processing. As hugetlbfs evolved, updates to command line processing have been made to meet immediate needs and not necessarily in a coordinated manner. The result is that some processing is done in arch specific code, some is done in arch independent code and coordination is problematic. Semantics can vary between architectures. The patch series does the following: - Define arch specific arch_hugetlb_valid_size routine used to validate passed huge page sizes. - Move hugepagesz= command line parsing out of arch specific code and into an arch independent routine. - Clean up command line processing to follow desired semantics and document those semantics. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200305033014.1152-1-longpeng2@huawei.com This patch (of 3): The architecture independent routine hugetlb_default_setup sets up the default huge pages size. It has no way to verify if the passed value is valid, so it accepts it and attempts to validate at a later time. This requires undocumented cooperation between the arch specific and arch independent code. For architectures that support more than one huge page size, provide a routine arch_hugetlb_valid_size to validate a huge page size. hugetlb_default_setup can use this to validate passed values. arch_hugetlb_valid_size will also be used in a subsequent patch to move processing of the "hugepagesz=" in arch specific code to a common routine in arch independent code.

'max_ptes_shared' specifies how many pages can be shared across multiple processes. Exceeding the number would block the collapse:: /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_shared A higher value may increase memory footprint for some workloads. By default, at least half of pages has to be not shared.

Currently we have different copy-on-write semantics for anon- and file-THP. For anon-THP we try to allocate huge page on the write fault, but on file-THP we split PMD and allocate 4k page. Arguably, file-THP semantics is more desirable: we don't necessary want to unshare full PMD range from the parent on the first access. This is the primary reason THP is unusable for some workloads, like Redis. The original THP refcounting didn't allow to have PTE-mapped compound pages, so we had no options, but to allocate huge page on CoW (with fallback to 512 4k pages). The current refcounting doesn't have such limitations and we can cut a lot of complex code out of fault path. khugepaged is now able to recover THP from such ranges if the configuration allows.

We can collapse PTE-mapped compound pages. We only need to avoid handling them more than once: lock/unlock page only once if it's present in the PMD range multiple times as it handled on compound level. The same goes for LRU isolation and putback. Signed-off-by:

The page can be included into collapse as long as it doesn't have extra pins (from GUP or otherwise). Logic to check the refcount is moved to a separate function. For pages in swap cache, add compound_nr(page) to the expected refcount, in order to handle the compound page case. This is in preparation for the following patch. VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() was removed from __collapse_huge_page_copy() as the invariant it checks is no longer valid: the source can be mapped multiple times now.

collapse_huge_page() tries to swap in pages that are part of the PMD range. Just swapped in page goes though LRU add cache. The cache gets extra reference on the page. The extra reference can lead to the collapse fail: the following __collapse_huge_page_isolate() would check refcount and abort collapse seeing unexpected refcount. The fix is to drain local LRU add cache in __collapse_huge_page_swapin() if we successfully swapped in any pages. Signed-off-by:

Having a page in LRU add cache offsets page refcount and gives false-negative on PageLRU(). It reduces collapse success rate. Drain all LRU add caches before scanning. It happens relatively rare and should not disturb the system too much. Signed-off-by:

__collapse_huge_page_swapin() checks the number of referenced PTE to decide if the memory range is hot enough to justify swapin. We have few problems with the approach: - It is way too late: we can do the check much earlier and safe time. khugepaged_scan_pmd() already knows if we have any pages to swap in and number of referenced page. - It stops collapse altogether if there's not enough referenced pages, not only swappingin. Fix it by making the right check early. We also can avoid additional page table scanning if khugepaged_scan_pmd() haven't found any swap entries.

Deferred struct page init is a significant bottleneck in kernel boot. Optimizing it maximizes availability for large-memory systems and allows spinning up short-lived VMs as needed without having to leave them running. It also benefits bare metal machines hosting VMs that are sensitive to downtime. In projects such as VMM Fast Restart[1], where guest state is preserved across kexec reboot, it helps prevent application and network timeouts in the guests. Multithread to take full advantage of system memory bandwidth. The maximum number of threads is capped at the number of CPUs on the node because speedups always improve with additional threads on every system tested, and at this phase of boot, the system is otherwise idle and waiting on page init to finish. Helper threads operate on section-aligned ranges to both avoid false sharing when setting the pageblock's migrate type and to avoid accessing uninitialized buddy pages, though max order alignment is enough for the latter. The minimum chunk size is also a section. There was benefit to using multiple threads even on relatively small memory (1G) systems, and this is the smallest size that the alignment allows. The time (milliseconds) is the slowest node to initialize since boot blocks until all nodes finish. intel_pstate is loaded in active mode without hwp and with turbo enabled, and intel_idle is active as well.

Deferred page init used to report the number of pages initialized: node 0 initialised, 32439114 pages in 97ms Tracking this makes the code more complicated when using multiple threads. Given that the statistic probably has limited value, especially since a zone grows on demand so that the page count can vary, just remove it. The boot message now looks like node 0 deferred pages initialised in 97ms Suggested-by:

Sometimes the kernel doesn't take full advantage of system memory bandwidth, leading to a single CPU spending excessive time in initialization paths where the data scales with memory size. Multithreading naturally addresses this problem. Extend padata, a framework that handles many parallel yet singlethreaded jobs, to also handle multithreaded jobs by adding support for splitting up the work evenly, specifying a minimum amount of work that's appropriate for one helper thread to do, load balancing between helpers, and coordinating them. This is inspired by work from Pavel Tatashin and Steve Sistare. Signed-off-by:

padata allocates per-CPU, per-instance work structs for parallel jobs. A do_parallel call assigns a job to a sequence number and hashes the number to a CPU, where the job will eventually run using the corresponding work. This approach fit with how padata used to bind a job to each CPU round-robin, makes less sense after commit bfde23ce ("padata: unbind parallel jobs from specific CPUs") because a work isn't bound to a particular CPU anymore, and isn't needed at all for multithreaded jobs because they don't have sequence numbers. Replace the per-CPU works with a preallocated pool, which allows sharing them between existing padata users and the upcoming multithreaded user. The pool will also facilitate setting NUMA-aware concurrency limits with later users. The pool is sized according to the number of possible CPUs. With this limit, MAX_OBJ_NUM no longer makes sense, so remove it. If the global pool is exhausted, a parallel job is run in the current task instead to throttle a system trying to do too much in parallel. Signed-off-by:

Patch series "padata: parallelize deferred page init", v3. Deferred struct page init is a bottleneck in kernel boot--the biggest for us and probably others. Optimizing it maximizes availability for large-memory systems and allows spinning up short-lived VMs as needed without having to leave them running. It also benefits bare metal machines hosting VMs that are sensitive to downtime. In projects such as VMM Fast Restart[1], where guest state is preserved across kexec reboot, it helps prevent application and network timeouts in the guests. So, multithread deferred init to take full advantage of system memory bandwidth. Extend padata, a framework that handles many parallel singlethreaded jobs, to handle multithreaded jobs as well by adding support for splitting up the work evenly, specifying a minimum amount of work that's appropriate for one helper thread to do, load balancing between helpers, and coordinating them. More documentation in patches 4 and 8. This series is the first step in a project to address other memory proportional bottlenecks in the kernel such as pmem struct page init, vfio page pinning, hugetlb fallocate, and munmap. Deferred page init doesn't require concurrency limits, resource control, or priority adjustments like these other users will because it happens during boot when the system is otherwise idle and waiting for page init to finish. This has been run on a variety of x86 systems and speeds up kernel boot by 4% to 49%, saving up to 1.6 out of 4 seconds. Patch 6 has more numbers. This patch (of 8): padata_driver_exit() is unnecessary because padata isn't built as a module and doesn't exit. padata's init routine will soon allocate memory, so getting rid of the exit function now avoids pointless code to free it.

Now that deferred pages are initialized with interrupts enabled we can replace touch_nmi_watchdog() with cond_resched(), as it was before 3a2d7fa8.

Initializing struct pages is a long task and keeping interrupts disabled for the duration of this operation introduces a number of problems. 1. jiffies are not updated for long period of time, and thus incorrect time is reported. See proposed solution and discussion here: lkml/20200311123848.118638-1-shile.zhang@linux.alibaba.com 2. It prevents farther improving deferred page initialization by allowing intra-node multi-threading. We are keeping interrupts disabled to solve a rather theoretical problem that was never observed in real world (See 3a2d7fa8). Let's keep interrupts enabled. In case we ever encounter a scenario where an interrupt thread wants to allocate large amount of memory this early in boot we can deal with that by growing zone (see deferred_grow_zone()) by the needed amount before starting deferred_init_memmap() threads.

Patch series "initialize deferred pages with interrupts enabled", v4. Keep interrupts enabled during deferred page initialization in order to make code more modular and allow jiffies to update. Original approach, and discussion can be found here: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200311123848.118638-1-shile.zhang@linux.alibaba.com This patch (of 3): deferred_init_memmap() disables interrupts the entire time, so it calls touch_nmi_watchdog() periodically to avoid soft lockup splats. Soon it will run with interrupts enabled, at which point cond_resched() should be used instead. deferred_grow_zone() makes the same watchdog calls through code shared with deferred init but will continue to run with interrupts disabled, so it can't call cond_resched(). Pull the watchdog calls up to these two places to allow the first to be changed later, independently of the second. The frequency reduces from twice per pageblock (init and free) to once per max order block. Fixes: 3a2d7fa8 ("mm: disable interrupts while initializing deferred pages") Signed-off-by:

Updating the zone watermarks by any means, like min_free_kbytes, water_mark_scale_factor etc, when ->watermark_boost is set will result in higher low and high watermarks than the user asked. Below are the steps to reproduce the problem on system setup of Android kernel running on Snapdragon hardware. 1) Default settings of the system are as below: #cat /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes = 5162 #cat /proc/zoneinfo | grep -e boost -e low -e "high " -e min -e Node Node 0, zone Normal min 797 low 8340 high 8539 2) Monitor the zone->watermark_boost(by adding a debug print in the kernel) and whenever it is greater than zero value, write the same value of min_free_kbytes obtained from step 1. #echo 5162 > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes 3) Then read the zone watermarks in the system while the ->watermark_boost is zero. This should show the same values of watermarks as step 1 but shown a higher values than asked. #cat /proc/zoneinfo | grep -e boost -e low -e "high " -e min -e Node Node 0, zone Normal min 797 low 21148 high 21347 These higher values are because of updating the zone watermarks using the macro min_wmark_pages(zone) which also adds the zone->watermark_boost. #define min_wmark_pages(z) (z->_watermark[WMARK_MIN] + z->watermark_boost) So the steps that lead to the issue are: 1) On the extfrag event, watermarks are boosted by storing the required value in ->watermark_boost. 2) User tries to update the zone watermarks level in the system through min_free_kbytes or watermark_scale_factor. 3) Later, when kswapd woke up, it resets the zone->watermark_boost to zero. In step 2), we use the min_wmark_pages() macro to store the watermarks in the zone structure thus the values are always offsetted by ->watermark_boost value. This can be avoided by resetting the ->watermark_boost to zero before it is used. Signed-off-by:

Initially, the per-cpu pagesets of each zone are set to the boot pagesets. The real pagesets are allocated later but before that happens, page allocations do occur and the numa stats for the boot pagesets get incremented since they are common to all zones at that point. The real pagesets, however, are allocated for the populated zones only. Unpopulated zones, like those associated with memory-less nodes, continue using the boot pageset and end up skewing the numa stats of the corresponding node. E.g. $ numactl -H available: 2 nodes (0-1) node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 node 0 size: 0 MB node 0 free: 0 MB node 1 cpus: 4 5 6 7 node 1 size: 8131 MB node 1 free: 6980 MB node distances: node 0 1 0: 10 40 1: 40 10 $ numastat node0 node1 numa_hit 108 56495 numa_miss 0 0 numa_foreign 0 0 interleave_hit 0 4537 local_node 108 31547 other_node 0 24948 Hence, the boot pageset stats need to be cleared after the real pagesets are allocated. After this point, the stats of the boot pagesets do not change as page allocations requested for a memory-less node will either fail (if __GFP_THISNODE is used) or get fulfilled by a preferred zone of a different node based on the fallback zonelist.
