Kmem caches can be created with a SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT flag, which indicates they contain objects which can be reclaimed under memory pressure (typically through a shrinker). This makes the slab pages accounted as NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE in vmstat, which is reflected also the MemAvailable meminfo counter and in overcommit decisions. The slab pages are also allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE, which is good for anti-fragmentation through grouping pages by mobility. The generic kmalloc-X caches are created without this flag, but sometimes are used also for objects that can be reclaimed, which due to varying size cannot have a dedicated kmem cache with SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT flag. A prominent example are dcache external names, which prompted the creation of a new, manually managed vmstat counter NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES in commit f1782c9b ("dcache: account external names as indirectly reclaimable memory"). To better handle this and any other similar cases, this patch introduces SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT variants of kmalloc caches, named kmalloc-rcl-X. They are used whenever the kmalloc() call passes __GFP_RECLAIMABLE among gfp flags. They are added to the kmalloc_caches array as a new type. Allocations with both __GFP_DMA and __GFP_RECLAIMABLE will use a dma type cache. This change only applies to SLAB and SLUB, not SLOB. This is fine, since SLOB's target are tiny system and this patch does add some overhead of kmem management objects. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180731090649.16028-3-vbabka@suse.czSigned-off-by:

Patch series "kmalloc-reclaimable caches", v4. As discussed at LSF/MM [1] here's a patchset that introduces kmalloc-reclaimable caches (more details in the second patch) and uses them for dcache external names. That allows us to repurpose the NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES counter later in the series. With patch 3/6, dcache external names are allocated from kmalloc-rcl-* caches, eliminating the need for manual accounting. More importantly, it also ensures the reclaimable kmalloc allocations are grouped in pages separate from the regular kmalloc allocations. The need for proper accounting of dcache external names has shown it's easy for misbehaving process to allocate lots of them, causing premature OOMs. Without the added grouping, it's likely that a similar workload can interleave the dcache external names allocations with regular kmalloc allocations (note: I haven't searched myself for an example of such regular kmalloc allocation, but I would be very surprised if there wasn't some). A pathological case would be e.g. one 64byte regular allocations with 63 external dcache names in a page (64x64=4096), which means the page is not freed even after reclaiming after all dcache names, and the process can thus "steal" the whole page with single 64byte allocation. If other kmalloc users similar to dcache external names become identified, they can also benefit from the new functionality simply by adding __GFP_RECLAIMABLE to the kmalloc calls. Side benefits of the patchset (that could be also merged separately) include removed branch for detecting __GFP_DMA kmalloc(), and shortening kmalloc cache names in /proc/slabinfo output. The latter is potentially an ABI break in case there are tools parsing the names and expecting the values to be in bytes. This is how /proc/slabinfo looks like after booting in virtme: ... kmalloc-rcl-4M 0 0 4194304 1 1024 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0 ... kmalloc-rcl-96 7 32 128 32 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 1 1 0 kmalloc-rcl-64 25 128 64 64 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 2 2 0 kmalloc-rcl-32 0 0 32 124 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 0 0 0 kmalloc-4M 0 0 4194304 1 1024 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0 kmalloc-2M 0 0 2097152 1 512 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0 kmalloc-1M 0 0 1048576 1 256 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0 ... /proc/vmstat with renamed nr_indirectly_reclaimable_bytes counter: ... nr_slab_reclaimable 2817 nr_slab_unreclaimable 1781 ... nr_kernel_misc_reclaimable 0 ... /proc/meminfo with new KReclaimable counter: ...

This patch (of 6): The kmalloc caches currently mainain separate (optional) array kmalloc_dma_caches for __GFP_DMA allocations. There are tests for __GFP_DMA in the allocation hotpaths. We can avoid the branches by combining kmalloc_caches and kmalloc_dma_caches into a single two-dimensional array where the outer dimension is cache "type". This will also allow to add kmalloc-reclaimable caches as a third type. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180731090649.16028-2-vbabka@suse.czSigned-off-by:

get_mempolicy(MPOL_F_NODE|MPOL_F_ADDR) called a get_user_pages that would not be waiting for userfaults before failing and it would hit on a SIGBUS instead. Using get_user_pages_locked/unlocked instead will allow get_mempolicy to allow userfaults to resolve the fault and fill the hole, before grabbing the node id of the page. If the user calls get_mempolicy() with MPOL_F_ADDR | MPOL_F_NODE for an address inside an area managed by uffd and there is no page at that address, the page allocation from within get_mempolicy() will fail because get_user_pages() does not allow for page fault retry required for uffd; the user will get SIGBUS. With this patch, the page fault will be resolved by the uffd and the get_mempolicy() will continue normally. Background: Via code review, previously the syscall would have returned -EFAULT (vm_fault_to_errno), now it will block and wait for an userfault (if it's waken before the fault is resolved it'll still -EFAULT). This way get_mempolicy will give a chance to an "unaware" app to be compliant with userfaults. The reason this visible change is that becoming "userfault compliant" cannot regress anything: all other syscalls including read(2)/write(2) had to become "userfault compliant" long time ago (that's one of the things userfaultfd can do that PROT_NONE and trapping segfaults can't). So this is just one more syscall that become "userfault compliant" like all other major ones already were. This has been happening on virtio-bridge dpdk process which just called get_mempolicy on the guest space post live migration, but before the memory had a chance to be migrated to destination. I didn't run an strace to be able to show the -EFAULT going away, but I've the confirmation of the below debug aid information (only visible with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y) going away with the patch: [20116.371461] FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY missing 0 [20116.371464] CPU: 1 PID: 13381 Comm: vhost-events Not tainted 4.17.12-200.fc28.x86_64 #1 [20116.371465] Hardware name: LENOVO 20FAS2BN0A/20FAS2BN0A, BIOS N1CET54W (1.22 ) 02/10/2017 [20116.371466] Call Trace: [20116.371473] dump_stack+0x5c/0x80 [20116.371476] handle_userfault.cold.37+0x1b/0x22 [20116.371479] ? remove_wait_queue+0x20/0x60 [20116.371481] ? poll_freewait+0x45/0xa0 [20116.371483] ? do_sys_poll+0x31c/0x520 [20116.371485] ? radix_tree_lookup_slot+0x1e/0x50 [20116.371488] shmem_getpage_gfp+0xce7/0xe50 [20116.371491] ? page_add_file_rmap+0x1a/0x2c0 [20116.371493] shmem_fault+0x78/0x1e0 [20116.371495] ? filemap_map_pages+0x3a1/0x450 [20116.371498] __do_fault+0x1f/0xc0 [20116.371500] __handle_mm_fault+0xe2e/0x12f0 [20116.371502] handle_mm_fault+0xda/0x200 [20116.371504] __get_user_pages+0x238/0x790 [20116.371506] get_user_pages+0x3e/0x50 [20116.371510] kernel_get_mempolicy+0x40b/0x700 [20116.371512] ? vfs_write+0x170/0x1a0 [20116.371515] __x64_sys_get_mempolicy+0x21/0x30 [20116.371517] do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x160 [20116.371520] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 The above harmless debug message (not a kernel crash, just a dump_stack()) is shown with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y to more quickly identify and improve kernel spots that may have to become "userfaultfd compliant" like this one (without having to run an strace and search for syscall misbehavior). Spots like the above are more closer to a kernel bug for the non-cooperative usages that Mike focuses on, than for for dpdk qemu-cooperative usages that reproduced it, but it's still nicer to get this fixed for dpdk too. The part of the patch that caused me to think is only the implementation issue of mpol_get, but it looks like it should work safe no matter the kind of mempolicy structure that is (the default static policy also starts at 1 so it'll go to 2 and back to 1 without crashing everything at 0).

Replace bootmem allocator with memblock and enable use of NO_BOOTMEM like on most other architectures. Alpha gets the description of the physical memory from the firmware as an array of memory clusters. Each cluster that is not reserved by the firmware is added to memblock.memory. Once the memblock.memory is set up, we reserve the kernel and initrd pages with memblock reserve. Since we don't need the bootmem bitmap anymore, the code that finds an appropriate place is removed. The conversion does not take care of NUMA support which is marked broken for more than 10 years now.

The unicore32 architecture already supports memblock and uses it for some early memory reservations, e.g initrd and the page tables. At some point unicore32 allocates the bootmem bitmap from the memblock and then hands over the memory reservations from memblock to bootmem. This patch removes the bootmem initialization and leaves memblock as the only boot time memory manager for unicore32.

Memory region size is rounded down to page boundary and with sub-page region it becomes 0 and there is no point to add an empty region. Moreover, when the base is less than PAGE_SIZE we get a bogus size as (base + size - 1) evaluates to -1. 8cccffc5 ("of: check for size < 0 after rounding in early_init_dt_add_memory_arch") introduced a test for wrap around for the case when base is not page aligned, the same test can be used to ignore sub-page region sizes.

check_for_memory() looks a bit confusing. First of all, we have this: if (N_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY) return; Checking the ENUM declaration, looks like N_MEMORY canot be equal to N_NORMAL_MEMORY. I could not find where N_MEMORY is set to N_NORMAL_MEMORY, or the other way around either, so unless I am missing something, this condition will never evaluate to true. It makes sense to get rid of it. Moving forward, the operations within the loop look a bit confusing as well. We set N_HIGH_MEMORY unconditionally, and then we set N_NORMAL_MEMORY in case we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM (N_NORMAL_MEMORY != N_HIGH_MEMORY) and zone <= ZONE_NORMAL. (N_HIGH_MEMORY falls back to N_NORMAL_MEMORY on !CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems, and that is why we can just go ahead and set N_HIGH_MEMORY unconditionally) Although this works, it is a bit subtle. I think that this could be easier to follow: First, we should only set N_HIGH_MEMORY in case we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM. And then we should set N_NORMAL_MEMORY in case zone <= ZONE_NORMAL, without further checking whether we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM or not.

The code path to reclaim the swap entry in free_swap_and_cache() is almost same as that of __try_to_reclaim_swap(). The largest difference is just coding style. So the support to the additional requirement of free_swap_and_cache() is added into __try_to_reclaim_swap(). free_swap_and_cache() is changed to call __try_to_reclaim_swap(), and delete the duplicated code. This will improve code readability and reduce the potential bugs. There are 2 functionality differences between __try_to_reclaim_swap() and swap entry reclaim code of free_swap_and_cache(). - free_swap_and_cache() only reclaims the swap entry if the page is unmapped or swap is getting full. The support has been added into __try_to_reclaim_swap(). - try_to_free_swap() (called by __try_to_reclaim_swap()) checks pm_suspended_storage(), while free_swap_and_cache() not. I think this is OK. Because the page and the swap entry can be reclaimed later eventually. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180827075535.17406-2-ying.huang@intel.comSigned-off-by:

Currently, kmemleak only prints the number of suspected leaks to dmesg but requires the user to read a debugfs file to get the actual stack traces of the objects' allocation points. Add a module option to print the full object information to dmesg too. It can be enabled with kmemleak.verbose=1 on the kernel command line, or "echo 1 > /sys/module/kmemleak/parameters/verbose": This allows easier integration of kmemleak into test systems: We have automated test infrastructure to test our Linux systems. With this option, running our tests with kmemleak is as simple as enabling kmemleak and passing this command line option; the test infrastructure knows how to save kernel logs, which will now include kmemleak reports. Without this option, the test infrastructure needs to be specifically taught to read out the kmemleak debugfs file. Removing this need for special handling makes kmemleak more similar to other kernel debug options (slab debugging, debug objects, etc).

Tetsuo Handa has reported that it is possible to bypass the short sleep for PF_WQ_WORKER threads which was introduced by commit 373ccbe5 ("mm, vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make any progress") and lock up the system if OOM. The primary reason is that WQ_MEM_RECLAIM WQs are not guaranteed to run even when they have a rescuer available. Those workers might be essential for reclaim to make a forward progress, however. If we are too unlucky all the allocations requests can get stuck waiting for a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM work item and the system is essentially stuck in an OOM condition without much hope to move on. Tetsuo has seen the reclaim stuck on drain_local_pages_wq or xlog_cil_push_work (xfs). There might be others. Since should_reclaim_retry() should be a natural reschedule point, let's do the short sleep for PF_WQ_WORKER threads unconditionally in order to guarantee that other pending work items are started. This will workaround this problem and it is less fragile than hunting down when the sleep is missed. Having a single sleeping point is more robust.

I've noticed, that dying memory cgroups are often pinned in memory by a single pagecache page. Even under moderate memory pressure they sometimes stayed in such state for a long time. That looked strange. My investigation showed that the problem is caused by applying the LRU pressure balancing math: scan = div64_u64(scan * fraction[lru], denominator), where denominator = fraction[anon] + fraction[file] + 1. Because fraction[lru] is always less than denominator, if the initial scan size is 1, the result is always 0. This means the last page is not scanned and has no chances to be reclaimed. Fix this by rounding up the result of the division. In practice this change significantly improves the speed of dying cgroups reclaim.

Memcg charge is batched using per-cpu stocks, so an offline memcg can be pinned by a cached charge up to a moment, when a process belonging to some other cgroup will charge some memory on the same cpu. In other words, cached charges can prevent a memory cgroup from being reclaimed for some time, without any clear need. Let's optimize it by explicit draining of all stocks on css offlining. As draining is performed asynchronously, and is skipped if any parallel draining is happening, it's cheap. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180827162621.30187-2-guro@fb.comSigned-off-by:

If CONFIG_VMAP_STACK is set, kernel stacks are allocated using __vmalloc_node_range() with __GFP_ACCOUNT. So kernel stack pages are charged against corresponding memory cgroups on allocation and uncharged on releasing them. The problem is that we do cache kernel stacks in small per-cpu caches and do reuse them for new tasks, which can belong to different memory cgroups. Each stack page still holds a reference to the original cgroup, so the cgroup can't be released until the vmap area is released. To make this happen we need more than two subsequent exits without forks in between on the current cpu, which makes it very unlikely to happen. As a result, I saw a significant number of dying cgroups (in theory, up to 2 * number_of_cpu + number_of_tasks), which can't be released even by significant memory pressure. As a cgroup structure can take a significant amount of memory (first of all, per-cpu data like memcg statistics), it leads to a noticeable waste of memory.

Extend the slub_debug syntax to "slub_debug=<flags>[,<slub>]*", where <slub> may contain an asterisk at the end. For example, the following would poison all kmalloc slabs: slub_debug=P,kmalloc* and the following would apply the default flags to all kmalloc and all block IO slabs: slub_debug=,bio*,kmalloc* Please note that a similar patch was posted by Iliyan Malchev some time ago but was never merged: https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=131283905330474&w=2 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180928111139.27962-1-atomlin@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

Slub does not call kmalloc_slab() for sizes > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE, instead it falls back to kmalloc_large(). For slab KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE == KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE and it calls kmalloc_slab() for all allocations relying on NULL return value for over-sized allocations. This inconsistency leads to unwanted warnings from kmalloc_slab() for over-sized allocations for slab. Returning NULL for failed allocations is the expected behavior. Make slub and slab code consistent by checking size > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE in slab before calling kmalloc_slab(). While we are here also fix the check in kmalloc_slab(). We should check against KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE rather than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE. It all kinda worked because for slab the constants are the same, and slub always checks the size against KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE before kmalloc_slab(). But if we get there with size > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE anyhow bad things will happen. For example, in case of a newly introduced bug in slub code. Also move the check in kmalloc_slab() from function entry to the size > 192 case. This partially compensates for the additional check in slab code and makes slub code a bit faster (at least theoretically). Also drop __GFP_NOWARN in the warning check. This warning means a bug in slab code itself, user-passed flags have nothing to do with it. Nothing of this affects slob.
