Some high end Intel Xeon systems report uncorrectable memory errors as a recoverable machine check. Linux has included code for some time to process these and just signal the affected processes (or even recover completely if the error was in a read only page that can be replaced by reading from disk). But we have no recovery path for errors encountered during kernel code execution. Except for some very specific cases were are unlikely to ever be able to recover. Enter memory mirroring. Actually 3rd generation of memory mirroing. Gen1: All memory is mirrored Pro: No s/w enabling - h/w just gets good data from other side of the mirror Con: Halves effective memory capacity available to OS/applications Gen2: Partial memory mirror - just mirror memory begind some memory controllers Pro: Keep more of the capacity Con: Nightmare to enable. Have to choose between allocating from mirrored memory for safety vs. NUMA local memory for performance Gen3: Address range partial memory mirror - some mirror on each memory controller Pro: Can tune the amount of mirror and keep NUMA performance Con: I have to write memory management code to implement The current plan is just to use mirrored memory for kernel allocations. This has been broken into two phases: 1) This patch series - find the mirrored memory, use it for boot time allocations 2) Wade into mm/page_alloc.c and define a ZONE_MIRROR to pick up the unused mirrored memory from mm/memblock.c and only give it out to select kernel allocations (this is still being scoped because page_alloc.c is scary). This patch (of 3): Add extra "flags" to memblock to allow selection of memory based on attribute.

page_cache_read, do_generic_file_read, __generic_file_splice_read and __ntfs_grab_cache_pages currently ignore mapping_gfp_mask when calling add_to_page_cache_lru which might cause recursion into fs down in the direct reclaim path if the mapping really relies on GFP_NOFS semantic. This doesn't seem to be the case now because page_cache_read (page fault path) doesn't seem to suffer from the reclaim recursion issues and do_generic_file_read and __generic_file_splice_read also shouldn't be called under fs locks which would deadlock in the reclaim path. Anyway it is better to obey mapping gfp mask and prevent from later breakage. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by:

alloc_huge_page and hugetlb_reserve_pages use region_chg to calculate the number of pages which will be added to the reserve map. Subpool and global reserve counts are adjusted based on the output of region_chg. Before the pages are actually added to the reserve map, these routines could race and add fewer pages than expected. If this happens, the subpool and global reserve counts are not correct. Compare the number of pages actually added (region_add) to those expected to added (region_chg). If fewer pages are actually added, this indicates a race and adjust counters accordingly. Signed-off-by:

Modify region_add() to keep track of regions(pages) added to the reserve map and return this value. The return value can be compared to the return value of region_chg() to determine if the map was modified between calls. Make vma_commit_reservation() also pass along the return value of region_add(). In the normal case, we want vma_commit_reservation to return the same value as the preceding call to vma_needs_reservation. Create a common __vma_reservation_common routine to help keep the special case return values in sync Signed-off-by:

While working on hugetlbfs fallocate support, I noticed the following race in the existing code. It is unlikely that this race is hit very often in the current code. However, if more functionality to add and remove pages to hugetlbfs mappings (such as fallocate) is added the likelihood of hitting this race will increase. alloc_huge_page and hugetlb_reserve_pages use information from the reserve map to determine if there are enough available huge pages to complete the operation, as well as adjust global reserve and subpool usage counts. The order of operations is as follows: - call region_chg() to determine the expected change based on reserve map - determine if enough resources are available for this operation - adjust global counts based on the expected change - call region_add() to update the reserve map The issue is that reserve map could change between the call to region_chg and region_add. In this case, the counters which were adjusted based on the output of region_chg will not be correct. In order to hit this race today, there must be an existing shared hugetlb mmap created with the MAP_NORESERVE flag. A page fault to allocate a huge page via this mapping must occur at the same another task is mapping the same region without the MAP_NORESERVE flag. The patch set does not prevent the race from happening. Rather, it adds simple functionality to detect when the race has occurred. If a race is detected, then the incorrect counts are adjusted. Review comments pointed out the need for documentation of the existing region/reserve map routines. This patch set also adds documentation in this area. This patch (of 3): This is a documentation only patch and does not modify any code. Descriptions of the routines used for reserve map/region tracking are added. Signed-off-by:

There is a very subtle difference between mmap()+mlock() vs mmap(MAP_LOCKED) semantic. The former one fails if the population of the area fails while the later one doesn't. This basically means that mmap(MAPLOCKED) areas might see major fault after mmap syscall returns which is not the case for mlock. mmap man page has already been altered but Documentation/vm/unevictable-lru.txt deserves a clarification as well.

It is questionable if anyone is using them [1] now.

We have confusing functions to clear pmd, pmd_clear_* and pmd_clear. Add _huge_ to pmdp_clear functions so that we are clear that they operate on hugepage pte. We don't bother about other functions like pmdp_set_wrprotect, pmdp_clear_flush_young, because they operate on PTE bits and hence indicate they are operating on hugepage ptes Signed-off-by:

Architectures like ppc64 [1] need to do special things while clearing pmd before a collapse. For them this operation is largely different from a normal hugepage pte clear. Hence add a separate function to clear pmd before collapse. After this patch pmdp_* functions operate only on hugepage pte, and not on regular pmd_t values pointing to page table. [1] ppc64 needs to invalidate all the normal page pte mappings we already have inserted in the hardware hash page table. But before doing that we need to make sure there are no parallel hash page table insert going on. So we need to do a kick_all_cpus_sync() before flushing the older hash table entries. By moving this to a separate function we capture these details and mention how it is different from a hugepage pte clear. This patch is a cleanup and only does code movement for clarity. There should not be any change in functionality. Signed-off-by:

Historically memcg overhead was high even if memcg was unused. This has improved a lot but it still showed up in a profile summary as being a problem. /usr/src/linux-4.0-vanilla/mm/memcontrol.c 6.6441 395842 mem_cgroup_try_charge 2.950% 175781 __mem_cgroup_count_vm_event 1.431% 85239 mem_cgroup_page_lruvec 0.456% 27156 mem_cgroup_commit_charge 0.392% 23342 uncharge_list 0.323% 19256 mem_cgroup_update_lru_size 0.278% 16538 memcg_check_events 0.216% 12858 mem_cgroup_charge_statistics.isra.22 0.188% 11172 try_charge 0.150% 8928 commit_charge 0.141% 8388 get_mem_cgroup_from_mm 0.121% 7184 That is showing that 6.64% of system CPU cycles were in memcontrol.c and dominated by mem_cgroup_try_charge. The annotation shows that the bulk of the cost was checking PageSwapCache which is expected to be cache hot but is very expensive. The problem appears to be that __SetPageUptodate is called just before the check which is a write barrier. It is required to make sure struct page and page data is written before the PTE is updated and the data visible to userspace. memcg charging does not require or need the barrier but gets unfairly hit with the cost so this patch attempts the charging before the barrier. Aside from the accidental cost to memcg there is the added benefit that the barrier is avoided if the page cannot be charged. When applied the relevant profile summary is as follows. /usr/src/linux-4.0-chargefirst-v2r1/mm/memcontrol.c 3.7907 223277 __mem_cgroup_count_vm_event 1.143% 67312 mem_cgroup_page_lruvec 0.465% 27403 mem_cgroup_commit_charge 0.381% 22452 uncharge_list 0.332% 19543 mem_cgroup_update_lru_size 0.284% 16704 get_mem_cgroup_from_mm 0.271% 15952 mem_cgroup_try_charge 0.237% 13982 memcg_check_events 0.222% 13058 mem_cgroup_charge_statistics.isra.22 0.185% 10920 commit_charge 0.140% 8235 try_charge 0.131% 7716 That brings the overhead down to 3.79% and leaves the memcg fault accounting to the root cgroup but it's an improvement. The difference in headline performance of the page fault microbench is marginal as memcg is such a small component of it. pft faults 4.0.0 4.0.0 vanilla chargefirst Hmean faults/cpu-1 1443258.1051 ( 0.00%) 1509075.7561 ( 4.56%) Hmean faults/cpu-3 1340385.9270 ( 0.00%) 1339160.7113 ( -0.09%) Hmean faults/cpu-5 875599.0222 ( 0.00%) 874174.1255 ( -0.16%) Hmean faults/cpu-7 601146.6726 ( 0.00%) 601370.9977 ( 0.04%) Hmean faults/cpu-8 510728.2754 ( 0.00%) 510598.8214 ( -0.03%) Hmean faults/sec-1 1432084.7845 ( 0.00%) 1497935.5274 ( 4.60%) Hmean faults/sec-3 3943818.1437 ( 0.00%) 3941920.1520 ( -0.05%) Hmean faults/sec-5 3877573.5867 ( 0.00%) 3869385.7553 ( -0.21%) Hmean faults/sec-7 3991832.0418 ( 0.00%) 3992181.4189 ( 0.01%) Hmean faults/sec-8 3987189.8167 ( 0.00%) 3986452.2204 ( -0.02%) It's only visible at single threaded.

hugetlb pages uses add_to_page_cache to track shared mappings. This is OK from the data structure point of view but it is less so from the NR_FILE_PAGES accounting: - huge pages are accounted as 4k which is clearly wrong - this counter is used as the amount of the reclaimable page cache which is incorrect as well because hugetlb pages are special and not reclaimable - the counter is then exported to userspace via /proc/meminfo (in Cached:), /proc/vmstat and /proc/zoneinfo as nr_file_pages which is confusing at least: Cached: 8883504 kB HugePages_Free: 8348 ... Cached: 8916048 kB HugePages_Free: 156 ... thats 8192 huge pages allocated which is ~16G accounted as 32M There are usually not that many huge pages in the system for this to make any visible difference e.g. by fooling __vm_enough_memory or zone_pagecache_reclaimable. Fix this by special casing huge pages in both __delete_from_page_cache and __add_to_page_cache_locked. replace_page_cache_page is currently only used by fuse and that shouldn't touch hugetlb pages AFAICS but it is more robust to check for special casing there as well. Hugetlb pages shouldn't get to any other paths where we do accounting: - migration - we have a special handling via hugetlbfs_migrate_page - shmem - doesn't handle hugetlb pages directly even for SHM_HUGETLB resp. MAP_HUGETLB - swapcache - hugetlb is not swapable This has a user visible effect but I believe it is reasonable because the previously exported number is simply bogus. An alternative would be to account hugetlb pages with their real size and treat them similar to shmem. But this has some drawbacks. First we would have to special case in kernel users of NR_FILE_PAGES and considering how hugetlb is special we would have to do it everywhere. We do not want Cached exported by /proc/meminfo to include it because the value would be even more misleading. __vm_enough_memory and zone_pagecache_reclaimable would have to do the same thing because those pages are simply not reclaimable. The correction is even not trivial because we would have to consider all active hugetlb page sizes properly. Users of the counter outside of the kernel would have to do the same. So the question is why to account something that needs to be basically excluded for each reasonable usage. This doesn't make much sense to me. It seems that this has been broken since hugetlb was introduced but I haven't checked the whole history. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: tweak comments] Signed-off-by:

The should_alloc_retry() function was meant to encapsulate retry conditions of the allocator slowpath, but there are still checks remaining in the main function, and much of how the retrying is performed also depends on the OOM killer progress. The physical separation of those conditions make the code hard to follow. Inline the should_alloc_retry() checks. Notes: - The __GFP_NOFAIL check is already done in __alloc_pages_may_oom(), replace it with looping on OOM killer progress - The pm_suspended_storage() check is meant to skip the OOM killer when reclaim has no IO available, move to __alloc_pages_may_oom() - The order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY order is re-united with its original counterpart of checking whether reclaim actually made any progress Signed-off-by:

The zonelist locking and the oom_sem are two overlapping locks that are used to serialize global OOM killing against different things. The historical zonelist locking serializes OOM kills from allocations with overlapping zonelists against each other to prevent killing more tasks than necessary in the same memory domain. Only when neither tasklists nor zonelists from two concurrent OOM kills overlap (tasks in separate memcgs bound to separate nodes) are OOM kills allowed to execute in parallel. The younger oom_sem is a read-write lock to serialize OOM killing against the PM code trying to disable the OOM killer altogether. However, the OOM killer is a fairly cold error path, there is really no reason to optimize for highly performant and concurrent OOM kills. And the oom_sem is just flat-out redundant. Replace both locking schemes with a single global mutex serializing OOM kills regardless of context. Signed-off-by:

Disabling the OOM killer needs to exclude allocators from entering, not existing victims from exiting. Right now the only waiter is suspend code, which achieves quiescence by disabling the OOM killer. But later on we want to add waits that hold the lock instead to stop new victims from showing up. Signed-off-by:

Johannes Weiner authored
It turns out that the mechanism to wait for exiting OOM victims is less generic than it looks: it won't issue wakeups unless the OOM killer is disabled. The reason this check was added was the thought that, since only the OOM disabling code would wait on this queue, wakeup operations could be saved when that specific consumer is known to be absent. However, this is quite the handgrenade. Later attempts to reuse the waitqueue for other purposes will lead to completely unexpected bugs and the failure mode will appear seemingly illogical. Generally, providers shouldn't make unnecessary assumptions about consumers. This could have been replaced with waitqueue_active(), but it only saves a few instructions in one of the coldest paths in the kernel. Simply remove it. Signed-off-by:

Rename unmark_oom_victim() to exit_oom_victim(). Marking and unmarking are related in functionality, but the interface is not symmetrical at all: one is an internal OOM killer function used during the killing, the other is for an OOM victim to signal its own death on exit later on. This has locking implications, see follow-up changes. While at it, rename mark_tsk_oom_victim() to mark_oom_victim(), which is easier on the eye. Signed-off-by:

As noted by Paul the compiler is free to store a temporary result in a variable on stack, heap or global unless it is explicitly marked as volatile, see: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2015/n4455.html#sample-optimizations This can result in a race between do_wp_page() and shrink_active_list() as follows. In do_wp_page() we can call page_move_anon_rmap(), which sets page->mapping as follows: anon_vma = (void *) anon_vma + PAGE_MAPPING_ANON; page->mapping = (struct address_space *) anon_vma; The page in question may be on an LRU list, because nowhere in do_wp_page() we remove it from the list, neither do we take any LRU related locks. Although the page is locked, shrink_active_list() can still call page_referenced() on it concurrently, because the latter does not require an anonymous page to be locked: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- do_wp_page shrink_active_list lock_page page_referenced PageAnon->yes, so skip trylock_page page_move_anon_rmap page->mapping = anon_vma rmap_walk PageAnon->no rmap_walk_file BUG page->mapping += PAGE_MAPPING_ANON This patch fixes this race by explicitly forbidding the compiler to split page->mapping store in page_move_anon_rmap() with the aid of WRITE_ONCE.

memory_failure() is supposed not to handle thp itself, but to split it. But if something were wrong and page_action() were called on thp, me_huge_page() (action routine for hugepages) should be better to take no action, rather than to take wrong action prepared for hugetlb (which triggers BUG_ON().) This change is for potential problems, but makes sense to me because thp is an actively developing feature and this code path can be open in the future. Signed-off-by:

But there is a race condition where a source page looks isolated (i.e. the refcount is 0 and the PageHWPoison is set) but somewhat linked to pcplist. Then another soft offline event calls drain_all_pages() and tries to free such hwpoisoned page, which is forbidden. This odd page state seems to happen due to the race between put_page() in putback_lru_page() and __pagevec_lru_add_fn(). But I don't want to play with tweaking drain code as done in commit 9ab3b598 "mm: hwpoison: drop lru_add_drain_all() in __soft_offline_page()", or to change page freeing code for this soft offline's purpose. Instead, let's think about the difference between hard offline and soft offline. There is an interesting difference in how to isolate the in-use page between these, that is, hard offline marks PageHWPoison of the target page at first, and doesn't free it by keeping its refcount 1. OTOH, soft offline tries to free the target page then marks PageHWPoison. This difference might be the source of complexity and result in bugs like the above. So making soft offline isolate with keeping refcount can be a solution for this problem. We can pass to page migration code the "reason" which shows the caller, so let's use this more to avoid calling putback_lru_page() when called from soft offline, which effectively does the isolation for soft offline. With this change, target pages of soft offline never be reused without changing migratetype, so this patch also removes the related code. Signed-off-by: -

memory_failure() can run in 2 different mode (specified by MF_COUNT_INCREASED) in page refcount perspective. When MF_COUNT_INCREASED is set, memory_failure() assumes that the caller takes a refcount of the target page. And if cleared, memory_failure() takes it in it's own. In current code, however, refcounting is done differently in each caller. For example, madvise_hwpoison() uses get_user_pages_fast() and hwpoison_inject() uses get_page_unless_zero(). So this inconsistent refcounting causes refcount failure especially for thp tail pages. Typical user visible effects are like memory leak or VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!page_count(page)) in isolate_lru_page(). To fix this refcounting issue, this patch introduces get_hwpoison_page() to handle thp tail pages in the same manner for each caller of hwpoison code. memory_failure() might fail to split thp and in such case it returns without completing page isolation. This is not good because PageHWPoison on the thp is still set and there's no easy way to unpoison such thps. So this patch try to roll back any action to the thp in "non anonymous thp" case and "thp split failed" case, expecting an MCE(SRAR) generated by later access afterward will properly free such thps.

memory_failure() doesn't handle thp itself at this time and need to split it before doing isolation. Currently thp is split in the middle of hwpoison_user_mappings(), but there're corner cases where memory_failure() wrongly tries to handle thp without splitting. 1) "non anonymous" thp, which is not a normal operating mode of thp, but a memory error could hit a thp before anon_vma is initialized. In such case, split_huge_page() fails and me_huge_page() (intended for hugetlb) is called for thp, which triggers BUG_ON in page_hstate(). 2) !PageLRU case, where hwpoison_user_mappings() returns with SWAP_SUCCESS and the result is the same as case 1. memory_failure() can't avoid splitting, so let's split it more earlier, which also reduces code which are prepared for both of normal page and thp.

The name SWAP implies that we are dealing with anonymous pages only. In fact, the original patch that introduced the min_unmapped_ratio logic was to fix an issue related to file pages. Rename it to RECLAIM_UNMAP to match what does. Historically, commit a6dc60f8 ("vmscan: rename sc.may_swap to may_unmap") renamed .may_swap to .may_unmap, leaving RECLAIM_SWAP behind. commit 2e2e4259 ("vmscan,memcg: reintroduce sc->may_swap") reintroduced .may_swap for memory controller.

Based upon 675becce ("mm: vmscan: do not throttle based on pfmemalloc reserves if node has no ZONE_NORMAL") from Mel. We have a system with the following topology: # numactl -H available: 3 nodes (0,2-3) node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 node 0 size: 28273 MB node 0 free: 27323 MB node 2 cpus: node 2 size: 16384 MB node 2 free: 0 MB node 3 cpus: 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 node 3 size: 30533 MB node 3 free: 13273 MB node distances: node 0 2 3 0: 10 20 20 2: 20 10 20 3: 20 20 10 Node 2 has no free memory, because: # cat /sys/devices/system/node/node2/hugepages/hugepages-16777216kB/nr_hugepages 1 This leads to the following zoneinfo: Node 2, zone DMA pages free 0 min 1840 low 2300 high 2760 scanned 0 spanned 262144 present 262144 managed 262144 ... all_unreclaimable: 1 If one then attempts to allocate some normal 16M hugepages via echo 37 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages The echo never returns and kswapd2 consumes CPU cycles. This is because throttle_direct_reclaim ends up calling wait_event(pfmemalloc_wait, pfmemalloc_watermark_ok...). pfmemalloc_watermark_ok() in turn checks all zones on the node if there are any reserves, and if so, then indicates the watermarks are ok, by seeing if there are sufficient free pages. 675becce added a condition already for memoryless nodes. In this case, though, the node has memory, it is just all consumed (and not reclaimable). Effectively, though, the result is the same on this call to pfmemalloc_watermark_ok() and thus seems like a reasonable additional condition. With this change, the afore-mentioned 16M hugepage allocation attempt succeeds and correctly round-robins between Nodes 1 and 3. Signed-off-by:

Reintroduce 8d63d99a ("mm: avoid tail page refcounting on non-THP compound pages") after removing bogus VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() in put_unrefcounted_compound_page(). THP uses tail page refcounting to be able to split huge pages at any time. Tail page refcounting is not needed for other users of compound pages and it's harmful because of overhead. We try to exclude non-THP pages from tail page refcounting using __compound_tail_refcounted() check. It excludes most common non-THP compound pages: SL*B and hugetlb, but it doesn't catch rest of __GFP_COMP users -- drivers. And it's not only about overhead. Drivers might want to use compound pages to get refcounting semantics suitable for mapping high-order pages to userspace. But tail page refcounting breaks it. Tail page refcounting uses ->_mapcount in tail pages to store GUP pins on them. It means GUP pins would affect page_mapcount() for tail pages. It's not a problem for THP, because it never maps tail pages. But unlike THP, drivers map parts of compound pages with PTEs and it makes page_mapcount() be called for tail pages. In particular, GUP pins would shift PSS up and affect /proc/kpagecount for such pages. But, I'm not aware about anything which can lead to crash or other serious misbehaviour. Since currently all THP pages are anonymous and all drivers pages are not, we can fix the __compound_tail_refcounted() check by requiring PageAnon() to enable tail page refcounting. Signed-off-by:

My commit 8d63d99a ("mm: avoid tail page refcounting on non-THP compound pages") which was merged during 4.1 merge window caused regression: page:ffffea0010a15040 count:0 mapcount:1 mapping: (null) index:0x0 flags: 0x8000000000008014(referenced|dirty|tail) page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_mapcount(page) != 0) ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at mm/swap.c:134! The problem can be reproduced by playing *two* audio files at the same time and then stopping one of players. I used two mplayers to trigger this. The VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() which triggers the bug is bogus: Sound subsystem uses compound pages for its buffers, but unlike most __GFP_COMP sound maps compound pages to userspace with PTEs. In our case with two players map the buffer twice and therefore elevates page_mapcount() on tail pages by two. When one of players exits it unmaps the VMA and drops page_mapcount() to one and try to release reference on the page with put_page(). My commit changes which path it takes under put_compound_page(). It hits put_unrefcounted_compound_page() where VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() is. It sees page_mapcount() == 1. The function wrongly assumes that subpages of compound page cannot be be mapped by itself with PTEs.. The solution is simply drop the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(). Note: there's no need to move the check under put_page_testzero(). Allocator will check the mapcount by itself before putting on free list.

Some processes (CRIU) are moving the vDSO area using the mremap system call. As a consequence the kernel reference to the vDSO base address is no more valid and the signal return frame built once the vDSO has been moved is not pointing to the new sigreturn address. This patch handles vDSO remapping and unmapping. Signed-off-by:
