      CMA: document cma=0 · f0d6d1f6
      Jean Delvare authored
      It isn't obvious that CMA can be disabled on the kernel's command line, so
      document it.

      fs/buffer.c: increase the buffer-head per-CPU LRU size · 86cf78d7
      Sebastien Buisson authored
      Increase the buffer-head per-CPU LRU size to allow efficient filesystem
      operations that access many blocks for each transaction.  For example,
      creating a file in a large ext4 directory with quota enabled will access
      multiple buffer heads and will overflow the LRU at the default 8-block LRU
      size:
      
      * parent directory inode table block (ctime, nlinks for subdirs)
      * new inode bitmap
      * inode table block
      * 2 quota blocks
      * directory leaf block (not reused, but pollutes one cache entry)
      * 2 levels htree blocks (only one is reused, other pollutes cache)
      * 2 levels indirect/index blocks (only one is reused)
      
      The buffer-head per-CPU LRU size is raised to 16, as it shows in metadata
      performance benchmarks up to 10% gain for create, 4% for lookup and 7% for
      destroy.

      mm: mempolicy: skip inaccessible VMAs when setting MPOL_MF_LAZY · 2c0346a3
      Mel Gorman authored
      PROT_NUMA VMAs are skipped to avoid problems distinguishing between
      present, prot_none and special entries.  MPOL_MF_LAZY is not visible from
      userspace since commit a720094d ("mm: mempolicy: Hide MPOL_NOOP and
      MPOL_MF_LAZY from userspace for now") but it should still skip VMAs the

      mm/balloon_compaction: add vmstat counters and kpageflags bit · 09316c09
      Konstantin Khlebnikov authored
      Always mark pages with PageBalloon even if balloon compaction is disabled
      and expose this mark in /proc/kpageflags as KPF_BALLOON.
      
      Also this patch adds three counters into /proc/vmstat: "balloon_inflate",
      "balloon_deflate" and "balloon_migrate".  They accumulate balloon
      activity.  Current size of balloon is (balloon_inflate - balloon_deflate)
      pages.
      
      All generic balloon code now gathered under option CONFIG_MEMORY_BALLOON.
      It should be selected by ballooning driver which wants use this feature.
      Currently virtio-balloon is the only user.

      mm/balloon_compaction: redesign ballooned pages management · d6d86c0a
      Konstantin Khlebnikov authored
      Sasha Levin reported KASAN splash inside isolate_migratepages_range().
      Problem is in the function __is_movable_balloon_page() which tests
      AS_BALLOON_MAP in page->mapping->flags.  This function has no protection
      against anonymous pages.  As result it tried to check address space flags
      inside struct anon_vma.
      
      Further investigation shows more problems in current implementation:
      
      * Special branch in __unmap_and_move() never works:
        balloon_page_movable() checks page flags and page_count.  In
        __unmap_and_move() page is locked, reference counter is elevated, thus
        balloon_page_movable() always fails.  As a result execution goes to the
        normal migration path.  virtballoon_migratepage() returns
        MIGRATEPAGE_BALLOON_SUCCESS instead of MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS,
        move_to_new_page() thinks this is an error code and assigns
        newpage->mapping to NULL.  Newly migrated page lose connectivity with
        balloon an all ability for further migration.
      
      * lru_lock erroneously required in isolate_migratepages_range() for
        isolation ballooned page.  This function releases lru_lock periodically,
        this makes migration mostly impossible for some pages.
      
      * balloon_page_dequeue have a tight race with balloon_page_isolate:
        balloon_page_isolate could be executed in parallel with dequeue between
        picking page from list and locking page_lock.  Race is rare because they
        use trylock_page() for locking.
      
      This patch fixes all of them.
      
      Instead of fake mapping with special flag this patch uses special state of
      page->_mapcount: PAGE_BALLOON_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -256.  Buddy allocator uses
      PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -128 for similar purpose.  Storing mark
      directly in struct page makes everything safer and easier.
      
      PagePrivate is used to mark pages present in page list (i.e.  not
      isolated, like PageLRU for normal pages).  It replaces special rules for
      reference counter and makes balloon migration similar to migration of
      normal pages.  This flag is protected by page_lock together with link to
      the balloon device.

      arm: mm: introduce special ptes for LPAE · bd951303
      Steve Capper authored
      We need a mechanism to tag ptes as being special, this indicates that no
      attempt should be made to access the underlying struct page * associated

      has no means to access VMAs (that also contain this information)
      locklessly.
      
      The L_PTE_SPECIAL bit is already allocated for LPAE, this patch modifies
      pte_special and pte_mkspecial to make use of it, and defines
      __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL.
      
      This patch also excludes special ptes from the icache/dcache sync logic.

      mm: introduce a general RCU get_user_pages_fast() · 2667f50e
      Steve Capper authored
      This series implements general forms of get_user_pages_fast and
      __get_user_pages_fast in core code and activates them for arm and arm64.
      
      These are required for Transparent HugePages to function correctly, as a
      futex on a THP tail will otherwise result in an infinite loop (due to the
      core implementation of __get_user_pages_fast always returning 0).
      
      Unfortunately, a futex on THP tail can be quite common for certain
      workloads; thus THP is unreliable without a __get_user_pages_fast
      implementation.
      
      This series may also be beneficial for direct-IO heavy workloads and
      certain KVM workloads.
      
      This patch (of 6):
      
      get_user_pages_fast() attempts to pin user pages by walking the page
      tables directly and avoids taking locks.  Thus the walker needs to be
      protected from page table pages being freed from under it, and needs to
      block any THP splits.
      
      One way to achieve this is to have the walker disable interrupts, and rely
      on IPIs from the TLB flushing code blocking before the page table pages
      are freed.
      
      On some platforms we have hardware broadcast of TLB invalidations, thus
      the TLB flushing code doesn't necessarily need to broadcast IPIs; and
      spuriously broadcasting IPIs can hurt system performance if done too
      often.
      
      This problem has been solved on PowerPC and Sparc by batching up page
      table pages belonging to more than one mm_user, then scheduling an
      rcu_sched callback to free the pages.  This RCU page table free logic has
      been promoted to core code and is activated when one enables
      HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE.  Unfortunately, these architectures implement their
      own get_user_pages_fast routines.
      
      The RCU page table free logic coupled with an IPI broadcast on THP split
      (which is a rare event), allows one to protect a page table walker by
      merely disabling the interrupts during the walk.
      
      This patch provides a general RCU implementation of get_user_pages_fast
      that can be used by architectures that perform hardware broadcast of TLB
      invalidations.
      
      It is based heavily on the PowerPC implementation by Nick Piggin.

                  firmware_map_find_entry_bootmem()
      
      But it's not enough. When PNP0C80 device is added by acpi_scan_init(),
      memmap sysfses of same firmware_map_entry are created twice as follows:
      
        # cat /sys/firmware/memmap/*/start
        0x40000000000
        0x60000000000
        0x4a837000
        0x4a83a000
        0x4a8b5000
        ...
        0x40000000000
        0x60000000000
        ...
      
      The flows of the issues are as follows:
      
        1. e820_reserve_resources() allocates firmware_map_entrys of all
           memory ranges defined in e820. And, these firmware_map_entrys
           are linked with map_entries list.
      
           map_entries -> entry 1 -> ... -> entry N
      
        2. When PNP0C80 device is limited by mem= boot option, acpi_scan_init()
           added the memory device. In this case, firmware_map_add_hotplug()
           allocates firmware_map_entry and creates memmap sysfs.
      
           map_entries -> entry 1 -> ... -> entry N -> entry N+1
                                                       |
                                                       memmap 1
      
        3. firmware_memmap_init() creates memmap sysfses of firmware_map_entrys
           linked with map_entries.
      
           map_entries -> entry 1 -> ... -> entry N -> entry N+1
                           |                 |             |
                           memmap 2          memmap N+1    memmap 1
                                                           memmap N+2
      
      So while hot removing the PNP0C80 device, kernel panic occurs as follows:
      
           BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00000001003e000b

      The patch adds a check of confirming whether memmap sysfs of

      sysfs of same firmware_map_entry.

      memcg: zap memcg_can_account_kmem · cf2b8fbf
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      memcg_can_account_kmem() returns true iff
      
          !mem_cgroup_disabled() && !mem_cgroup_is_root(memcg) &&
                                         memcg_kmem_is_active(memcg);
      
      To begin with the !mem_cgroup_is_root(memcg) check is useless, because one
      can't enable kmem accounting for the root cgroup (mem_cgroup_write()
      returns EINVAL on an attempt to set the limit on the root cgroup).
      
      Furthermore, the !mem_cgroup_disabled() check also seems to be redundant.
      The point is memcg_can_account_kmem() is called from three places:
      mem_cgroup_salbinfo_read(), __memcg_kmem_get_cache(), and
      __memcg_kmem_newpage_charge().  The latter two functions are only invoked
      if memcg_kmem_enabled() returns true, which implies that the memory cgroup
      subsystem is enabled.  And mem_cgroup_slabinfo_read() shows the output of
      memory.kmem.slabinfo, which won't exist if the memory cgroup is completely
      disabled.
      
      So let's substitute all the calls to memcg_can_account_kmem() with plain
      memcg_kmem_is_active(), and kill the former.

      mm: memcontrol: fix transparent huge page allocations under pressure · b70a2a21
      Johannes Weiner authored
      In a memcg with even just moderate cache pressure, success rates for
      transparent huge page allocations drop to zero, wasting a lot of effort
      that the allocator puts into assembling these pages.
      
      The reason for this is that the memcg reclaim code was never designed for
      higher-order charges.  It reclaims in small batches until there is room
      for at least one page.  Huge page charges only succeed when these batches
      add up over a series of huge faults, which is unlikely under any
      significant load involving order-0 allocations in the group.
      
      Remove that loop on the memcg side in favor of passing the actual reclaim
      goal to direct reclaim, which is already set up and optimized to meet
      higher-order goals efficiently.
      
      This brings memcg's THP policy in line with the system policy: if the
      allocator painstakingly assembles a hugepage, memcg will at least make an
      honest effort to charge it.  As a result, transparent hugepage allocation
      rates amid cache activity are drastically improved:
      
                                            vanilla                 patched
      pgalloc                 4717530.80 (  +0.00%)   4451376.40 (  -5.64%)
      pgfault                  491370.60 (  +0.00%)    225477.40 ( -54.11%)
      pgmajfault                    2.00 (  +0.00%)         1.80 (  -6.67%)
      thp_fault_alloc               0.00 (  +0.00%)       531.60 (+100.00%)
      thp_fault_fallback          749.00 (  +0.00%)       217.40 ( -70.88%)
      
      [ Note: this may in turn increase memory consumption from internal
        fragmentation, which is an inherent risk of transparent hugepages.
        Some setups may have to adjust the memcg limits accordingly to
        accomodate this - or, if the machine is already packed to capacity,
        disable the transparent huge page feature. ]

      mm: memcontrol: simplify detecting when the memory+swap limit is hit · 3fbe7244
      Johannes Weiner authored
      When attempting to charge pages, we first charge the memory counter and
      then the memory+swap counter.  If one of the counters is at its limit, we
      enter reclaim, but if it's the memory+swap counter, reclaim shouldn't swap
      because that wouldn't change the situation.  However, if the counters have
      the same limits, we never get to the memory+swap limit.  To know whether
      reclaim should swap or not, there is a state flag that indicates whether
      the limits are equal and whether hitting the memory limit implies hitting
      the memory+swap limit.
      
      Just try the memory+swap counter first.

      mm: memcontrol: do not kill uncharge batching in free_pages_and_swap_cache · aabfb572
      Michal Hocko authored
      free_pages_and_swap_cache limits release_pages to PAGEVEC_SIZE chunks.
      This is not a big deal for the normal release path but it completely kills
      memcg uncharge batching which reduces res_counter spin_lock contention.
      Dave has noticed this with his page fault scalability test case on a large
      machine when the lock was basically dominating on all CPUs:

      In his case the load was running in the root memcg and that part has been
      handled by reverting 05b84301 ("mm: memcontrol: use root_mem_cgroup
      res_counter") because this is a clear regression, but the problem remains
      inside dedicated memcgs.
      
      There is no reason to limit release_pages to PAGEVEC_SIZE batches other
      than lru_lock held times.  This logic, however, can be moved inside the
      function.  mem_cgroup_uncharge_list and free_hot_cold_page_list do not
      hold any lock for the whole pages_to_free list so it is safe to call them
      in a single run.
      
      The release_pages() code was previously breaking the lru_lock each
      PAGEVEC_SIZE pages (ie, 14 pages).  However this code has no usage of
      pagevecs so switch to breaking the lock at least every SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX
      (32) pages.  This means that the lock acquisition frequency is
      approximately halved and the max hold times are approximately doubled.
      
      The now unneeded batching is removed from free_pages_and_swap_cache().
      
      Also update the grossly out-of-date release_pages documentation.

      memcg: move memcg_update_cache_size() to slab_common.c · 6f817f4c
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      `While growing per memcg caches arrays, we jump between memcontrol.c and
      slab_common.c in a weird way:
      
        memcg_alloc_cache_id - memcontrol.c
          memcg_update_all_caches - slab_common.c
            memcg_update_cache_size - memcontrol.c
      
      There's absolutely no reason why memcg_update_cache_size can't live on the
      slab's side though.  So let's move it there and settle it comfortably amid
      per-memcg cache allocation functions.
      
      Besides, this patch cleans this function up a bit, removing all the
      useless comments from it, and renames it to memcg_update_cache_params to
      conform to memcg_alloc/free_cache_params, which we already have in
      slab_common.c.

      memcg: don't call memcg_update_all_caches if new cache id fits · f3bb3043
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      memcg_update_all_caches grows arrays of per-memcg caches, so we only need
      to call it when memcg_limited_groups_array_size is increased.  However,
      currently we invoke it each time a new kmem-active memory cgroup is
      created.  Then it just iterates over all slab_caches and does nothing
      (memcg_update_cache_size returns immediately).
      
      This patch fixes this insanity.  In the meantime it moves the code dealing
      with id allocations to separate functions, memcg_alloc_cache_id and
      memcg_free_cache_id.

      memcg: move memcg_{alloc,free}_cache_params to slab_common.c · 33a690c4
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      The only reason why they live in memcontrol.c is that we get/put css
      reference to the owner memory cgroup in them.  However, we can do that in
      memcg_{un,}register_cache.  OTOH, there are several reasons to move them
      to slab_common.c.
      
      First, I think that the less public interface functions we have in
      memcontrol.h the better.  Since the functions I move don't depend on
      memcontrol, I think it's worth making them private to slab, especially
      taking into account that the arrays are defined on the slab's side too.
      
      Second, the way how per-memcg arrays are updated looks rather awkward: it
      proceeds from memcontrol.c (__memcg_activate_kmem) to slab_common.c
      (memcg_update_all_caches) and back to memcontrol.c again
      (memcg_update_array_size).  In the following patches I move the function
      relocating the arrays (memcg_update_array_size) to slab_common.c and
      therefore get rid this circular call path.  I think we should have the
      cache allocation stuff in the same place where we have relocation, because
      it's easier to follow the code then.  So I move arrays alloc/free
      functions to slab_common.c too.
      
      The third point isn't obvious.  I'm going to make the list_lru structure
      per-memcg to allow targeted kmem reclaim.  That means we will have
      per-memcg arrays in list_lrus too.  It turns out that it's much easier to
      update these arrays in list_lru.c rather than in memcontrol.c, because all
      the stuff we need is defined there.  This patch makes memcg caches arrays
      allocation path conform that of the upcoming list_lru.
      
      So let's move these functions to slab_common.c and make them static.

      mm: page_alloc: default node-ordering on 64-bit NUMA, zone-ordering on 32-bit · 3193913c
      Mel Gorman authored
      Zones are allocated by the page allocator in either node or zone order.
      Node ordering is preferred in terms of locality and is applied
      automatically in one of three cases:
      
        1. If a node has only low memory
      
        2. If DMA/DMA32 is a high percentage of memory
      
        3. If low memory on a single node is greater than 70% of the node size
      
      Otherwise zone ordering is used to preserve low memory for devices that
      require it.  Unfortunately a consequence of this is that applications
      running on a machine with balanced NUMA nodes will experience different
      performance characteristics depending on which node they happen to start
      from.
      
      The point of zone ordering is to protect lower zones for devices that
      require DMA/DMA32 memory.  When NUMA was first introduced, this was
      critical as 32-bit NUMA machines existed and exhausting low memory
      triggered OOMs easily as so many allocations required low memory.  On
      64-bit machines the primary concern is devices that are 32-bit only which
      is less severe than the low memory exhaustion problem on 32-bit NUMA.  It
      seems there are really few devices that depends on it.
      
      AGP -- I assume this is getting more rare but even then I think the allocations
      	happen early in boot time where lowmem pressure is less of a problem
      
      DRM -- If the device is 32-bit only then there may be low pressure. I didn't
      	evaluate these in detail but it looks like some of these are mobile
      	graphics card. Not many NUMA laptops out there. DRM folk should know
      	better though.
      
      Some TV cards -- Much demand for 32-bit capable TV cards on NUMA machines?
      
      B43 wireless card -- again not really a NUMA thing.
      
      I cannot find a good reason to incur a performance penalty on all 64-bit NUMA
      machines in case someone throws a brain damanged TV or graphics card in there.
      This patch defaults to node-ordering on 64-bit NUMA machines. I was tempted
      to make it default everywhere but I understand that some embedded arches may
      be using 32-bit NUMA where I cannot predict the consequences.
      
      The performance impact depends on the workload and the characteristics of the
      machine and the machine I tested on had a large Normal zone on node 0 so the
      impact is within the noise for the majority of tests. The allocation stats
      show more allocation requests were from DMA32 and local node. Running SpecJBB
      with multiple JVMs and automatic NUMA balancing disabled the results were

      Note that there were more DMA32 allocations with the patch applied.  In this
      particular case there was no difference in numa_hit and numa_miss. The
      expectation is that DMA32 was being used at the low watermark instead of
      falling into the slow path. kswapd was not woken but it's not worken for
      THP allocations.
      
      On 32-bit, this patch defaults to zone-ordering as low memory depletion
      can be a serious problem on 32-bit large memory machines. If the default
      ordering was node then processes on node 0 will deplete the Normal zone
      due to normal activity.  The problem is worse if CONFIG_HIGHPTE is not
      set. If combined with large amounts of dirty/writeback pages in Normal
      zone then there is also a high risk of OOM. The heuristics are removed
      as it's not clear they were ever important on 32-bit. They were only
      relevant for setting node-ordering on 64-bit.

         then o2net_wq wait for the unlock reply from master.
      
      3) tcp layer received the reply, call o2net_data_ready() and queue
         sc_rx_work, waiting o2net_wq to process this work.
      
      4) o2net_wq is a single thread workqueue, it process the work one by
         one.  Right now it is still doing o2net_listen_work and cannot handle
         sc_rx_work.  so we deadlock.
      
      Junxiao Bi's patch "mm: clear __GFP_FS when PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO is set"
      (http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-clear-__gfp_fs-when-pf_memalloc_noio-is-set.patch)
      clears __GFP_FS in memalloc_noio_flags() besides __GFP_IO.  We use
      memalloc_noio_save() to set process flag PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO so that all
      allocations done by this process are done as if GFP_NOIO was specified.
      We are not reentering filesystem while doing memory reclaim.

      mm: clear __GFP_FS when PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO is set · 934f3072
      Junxiao Bi authored
      commit 21caf2fc ("mm: teach mm by current context info to not do I/O
      during memory allocation") introduces PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag to avoid doing
      I/O inside memory allocation, __GFP_IO is cleared when this flag is set,
      but __GFP_FS implies __GFP_IO, it should also be cleared.  Or it may still
      run into I/O, like in superblock shrinker.  And this will make the kernel
      run into the deadlock case described in that commit.
      
      See Dave Chinner's comment about io in superblock shrinker:
      
      Filesystem shrinkers do indeed perform IO from the superblock shrinker and
      have for years.  Even clean inodes can require IO before they can be freed
      - e.g.  on an orphan list, need truncation of post-eof blocks, need to
      wait for ordered operations to complete before it can be freed, etc.
      
      IOWs, Ext4, btrfs and XFS all can issue and/or block on arbitrary amounts
      of IO in the superblock shrinker context.  XFS, in particular, has been
      doing transactions and IO from the VFS inode cache shrinker since it was
      first introduced....
      
      Fix this by clearing __GFP_FS in memalloc_noio_flags(), this function has
      masked all the gfp_mask that will be passed into fs for the processes
      setting PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO in the direct reclaim path.

      mm: clean up zone flags · 57054651
      Johannes Weiner authored
      Page reclaim tests zone_is_reclaim_dirty(), but the site that actually
      sets this state does zone_set_flag(zone, ZONE_TAIL_LRU_DIRTY), sending the
      reader through layers indirection just to track down a simple bit.
      
      Remove all zone flag wrappers and just use bitops against zone->flags
      directly.  It's just as readable and the lines are barely any longer.
      
      Also rename ZONE_TAIL_LRU_DIRTY to ZONE_DIRTY to match ZONE_WRITEBACK, and
      remove the zone_flags_t typedef.

      mm/page-writeback.c: use min3/max3 macros to avoid shadow warnings · 7c809968
      Mark Rustad authored
      Nested calls to min/max functions result in shadow warnings in W=2 builds.
       Avoid the warning by using the min3 and max3 macros to get the min/max of
      3 values instead of nested calls.
