A BUG_ON(!PageLocked) was triggered in mlock_vma_page() by Sasha Levin fuzzing with trinity. The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() does not lock the pages other than its check_page parameter (which is already locked). The BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() is not documented and its purpose is somewhat unclear, but apparently it serializes against page migration, which could otherwise fail to transfer the PG_mlocked flag. This would not be fatal, as the page would be eventually encountered again, but NR_MLOCK accounting would become distorted nevertheless. This patch adds a comment to the BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() and munlock_vma_page() to that effect. The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() is fixed so that for page != check_page, trylock_page() is attempted (to avoid possible deadlocks as we already have check_page locked) and mlock_vma_page() is performed only upon success. If the page lock cannot be obtained, the page is left without PG_mlocked, which is again not a problem in the whole unevictable memory design. Signed-off-by:

On NUMA systems, a node may start thrashing cache or even swap anonymous pages while there are still free pages on remote nodes. This is a result of commits 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") and fff4068c ("mm: page_alloc: revert NUMA aspect of fair allocation policy"). Before those changes, the allocator would first try all allowed zones, including those on remote nodes, before waking any kswapds. But now, the allocator fastpath doubles as the fairness pass, which in turn can only consider the local node to prevent remote spilling based on exhausted fairness batches alone. Remote nodes are only considered in the slowpath, after the kswapds are woken up. But if remote nodes still have free memory, kswapd should not be woken to rebalance the local node or it may thrash cash or swap prematurely. Fix this by adding one more unfair pass over the zonelist that is allowed to spill to remote nodes after the local fairness pass fails but before entering the slowpath and waking the kswapds. This also gets rid of the GFP_THISNODE exemption from the fairness protocol because the unfair pass is no longer tied to kswapd, which GFP_THISNODE is not allowed to wake up. However, because remote spills can be more frequent now - we prefer them over local kswapd reclaim - the allocation batches on remote nodes could underflow more heavily. When resetting the batches, use atomic_long_read() directly instead of zone_page_state() to calculate the delta as the latter filters negative counter values. Signed-off-by:

Some callsites pass a memcg directly, some callsites pass an mm that then has to be translated to a memcg. This makes for a terrible function interface. Just push the mm-to-memcg translation into the respective callsites and always pass a memcg to mem_cgroup_try_charge(). [mhocko@suse.cz: add charge mm helper] Signed-off-by:

Michal Hocko authored
__mem_cgroup_try_charge duplicates get_mem_cgroup_from_mm for charges which came without a memcg. The only reason seems to be a tiny optimization when css_tryget is not called if the charge can be consumed from the stock. Nevertheless css_tryget is very cheap since it has been reworked to use per-cpu counting so this optimization doesn't give us anything these days. So let's drop the code duplication so that the code is more readable. Signed-off-by:

Only page cache charges can happen without an mm context, so push this special case out of the inner core and into the cache charge function.

vm_map_ram() has a fragmentation problem when it cannot purge a chunk(ie, 4M address space) if there is a pinning object in that addresss space. So it could consume all VMALLOC address space easily. We can fix the fragmentation problem by using vmap instead of vm_map_ram() but vmap() is known to be slow compared to vm_map_ram(). Minchan said vm_map_ram is 5 times faster than vmap in his tests. So I thought we should fix fragment problem of vm_map_ram because our proprietary GPU driver has used it heavily. On second thought, it's not an easy because we should reuse freed space for solving the problem and it could make more IPI and bitmap operation for searching hole. It could mitigate API's goal which is very fast mapping. And even fragmentation problem wouldn't show in 64 bit machine. Another option is that the user should separate long-life and short-life object and use vmap for long-life but vm_map_ram for short-life. If we inform the user about the characteristic of vm_map_ram the user can choose one according to the page lifetime. Let's add some notice messages to user.

slab_node() is actually a mempolicy function, so rename it to mempolicy_slab_node() to make it clearer that it used for processes with mempolicies. At the same time, cleanup its code by saving numa_mem_id() in a local variable (since we require a node with memory, not just any node) and remove an obsolete comment that assumes the mempolicy is actually passed into the function.

This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(), avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults. The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random, thus further comparison with other approaches were needed. There are two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and the latency of find_vma(). Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy caching schemes can be too high to consider. We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by up to 250%, for workloads with good locality. On the other hand, this simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality. Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations below 1%. The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost. Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence number. The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are flushed. Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the page number that contains the virtual address in question. Concretely, the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box: 1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to the cache. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 50.61% | 19.90 | | patched | 73.45% | 13.58 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current approach as we're dealing with good locality. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 75.28% | 11.03 | | patched | 88.09% | 9.31 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 3) Oracle 11g Data Mining (4k pages): Similar to the kernel build workload. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 70.66% | 17.14 | | patched | 91.15% | 12.57 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 4) Ebizzy: There's a fair amount of variation from run to run, but this approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just about non-existent. The amounts of cycles can fluctuate between anywhere from ~60 to ~116 for the baseline scheme, but this approach reduces it considerably. For instance, with 80 threads: +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 1.06% | 91.54 | | patched | 99.97% | 14.18 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix nommu build, per Davidlohr] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: document vmacache_valid() logic] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: attempt to untangle header files] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: add vmacache_find() BUG_ON] [hughd@google.com: add vmacache_valid_mm() (from Oleg)] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: adjust and enhance comments] Signed-off-by:

Here's new version of faultaround patchset. It took a while to tune it and collect performance data. First patch adds new callback ->map_pages to vm_operations_struct. ->map_pages() is called when VM asks to map easy accessible pages. Filesystem should find and map pages associated with offsets from "pgoff" till "max_pgoff". ->map_pages() is called with page table locked and must not block. If it's not possible to reach a page without blocking, filesystem should skip it. Filesystem should use do_set_pte() to setup page table entry. Pointer to entry associated with offset "pgoff" is passed in "pte" field in vm_fault structure. Pointers to entries for other offsets should be calculated relative to "pte". Currently VM use ->map_pages only on read page fault path. We try to map FAULT_AROUND_PAGES a time. FAULT_AROUND_PAGES is 16 for now. Performance data for different FAULT_AROUND_ORDER is below. TODO: - implement ->map_pages() for shmem/tmpfs; - modify get_user_pages() to be able to use ->map_pages() and implement mmap(MAP_POPULATE|MAP_NONBLOCK) on top. ========================================================================= Tested on 4-socket machine (120 threads) with 128GiB of RAM.

After this patch 'page-types' can walk over a file's mappings and analyze populated page cache pages mostly without disturbing its state. It maps chunk of file, marks VMA as MADV_RANDOM to turn off readahead, pokes VMA via mincore() to determine cached pages, triggers page-fault only for them, and finally gathers information via pagemap/kpageflags. Before unmap it marks VMA as MADV_SEQUENTIAL for ignoring reference bits. usage: page-types -f <path> If <path> is directory it will analyse all files in all subdirectories. Symlinks are not followed as well as mount points. Hardlinks aren't handled, they'll be dumped as many times as they are found. Recursive walk brings all dentries into dcache and populates page cache of block-devices aka 'Buffers'. Probably it's worth to add ioctl for dumping file page cache as array of PFNs as a replacement for this hackish juggling with mmap/madvise/mincore/pagemap. Also recursive walk could be replaced with dumping cached inodes via some ioctl or debugfs interface followed by openning them via open_by_handle_at, this would fix hardlinks handling and unneeded population of dcache and buffers. This interface might be used as data source for constructing readahead plans and for background optimizations of actively used files. collateral changes: + fix 64-bit LFS: define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS instead of _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE + replace lseek + read with single pread + make show_page_range() reusable after flush usage example: ~/src/linux/tools/vm$ sudo ./page-types -L -f page-types foffset offset flags page-types Inode: 2229277 Size: 89065 (22 pages) Modify: Tue Feb 25 12:00:59 2014 (162 seconds ago) Access: Tue Feb 25 12:01:00 2014 (161 seconds ago) 0 3cbf3b __RU_lA____M________________________ 1 38946a __RU_lA____M________________________ 2 1a3cec __RU_lA____M________________________ 3 1a8321 __RU_lA____M________________________ 4 3af7cc __RU_lA____M________________________ 5 1ed532 __RU_lA_____________________________ 6 2e436a __RU_lA_____________________________ 7 29a35e ___U_lA_____________________________ 8 2de86e ___U_lA_____________________________ 9 3bdfb4 ___U_lA_____________________________ 10 3cd8a3 ___U_lA_____________________________ 11 2afa50 ___U_lA_____________________________ 12 2534c2 ___U_lA_____________________________ 13 1b7a40 ___U_lA_____________________________ 14 17b0be ___U_lA_____________________________ 15 392b0c ___U_lA_____________________________ 16 3ba46a __RU_lA_____________________________ 17 397dc8 ___U_lA_____________________________ 18 1f2a36 ___U_lA_____________________________ 19 21fd30 __RU_lA_____________________________ 20 2c35ba __RU_l______________________________ 21 20f181 __RU_l______________________________ flags page-count MB symbolic-flags long-symbolic-flags 0x000000000000002c 2 0 __RU_l______________________________ referenced,uptodate,lru 0x0000000000000068 11 0 ___U_lA_____________________________ uptodate,lru,active 0x000000000000006c 4 0 __RU_lA_____________________________ referenced,uptodate,lru,active 0x000000000000086c 5 0 __RU_lA____M________________________ referenced,uptodate,lru,active,mmap total 22 0 ~/src/linux/tools/vm$ sudo ./page-types -f / flags page-count MB symbolic-flags long-symbolic-flags 0x0000000000000028 21761 85 ___U_l______________________________ uptodate,lru 0x000000000000002c 127279 497 __RU_l______________________________ referenced,uptodate,lru 0x0000000000000068 74160 289 ___U_lA_____________________________ uptodate,lru,active 0x000000000000006c 84469 329 __RU_lA_____________________________ referenced,uptodate,lru,active 0x000000000000007c 1 0 __RUDlA_____________________________ referenced,uptodate,dirty,lru,active 0x0000000000000228 370 1 ___U_l___I__________________________ uptodate,lru,reclaim 0x0000000000000828 49 0 ___U_l_____M________________________ uptodate,lru,mmap 0x000000000000082c 126 0 __RU_l_____M________________________ referenced,uptodate,lru,mmap 0x0000000000000868 137 0 ___U_lA____M________________________ uptodate,lru,active,mmap 0x000000000000086c 12890 50 __RU_lA____M________________________ referenced,uptodate,lru,active,mmap total 321242 1254 Signed-off-by:Konstantin Khlebnikov <koct9i@gmail.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Signed-off-by:

The main motivation behind this patch is to provide a way to disable THP for jobs where the code cannot be modified, and using a malloc hook with madvise is not an option (i.e. statically allocated data). This patch allows us to do just that, without affecting other jobs running on the system. We need to do this sort of thing for jobs where THP hurts performance, due to the possibility of increased remote memory accesses that can be created by situations such as the following: When you touch 1 byte of an untouched, contiguous 2MB chunk, a THP will be handed out, and the THP will be stuck on whatever node the chunk was originally referenced from. If many remote nodes need to do work on that same chunk, they'll be making remote accesses. With THP disabled, 4K pages can be handed out to separate nodes as they're needed, greatly reducing the amount of remote accesses to memory. This patch is based on some of my work combined with some suggestions/patches given by Oleg Nesterov. The main goal here is to add a prctl switch to allow us to disable to THP on a per mm_struct basis. Here's a bit of test data with the new patch in place...

The revert is necessary because hugepage_madvise would return -EINVAL when VM_NOHUGEPAGE is set, which will break subsequent chunks of this patch set. Here's a snip of an e-mail from Gerald detailing the original purpose of this code, and providing justification for the revert: "The intent of commit 8e72033f was to guard against any future programming errors that may result in an madvice(MADV_HUGEPAGE) on guest mappings, which would crash the kernel. Martin suggested adding the bit to arch/s390/mm/pgtable.c, if 8e72033f was to be reverted, because that check will also prevent a kernel crash in the case described above, it will now send a SIGSEGV instead. This would now also allow to do the madvise on other parts, if needed, so it is a more flexible approach. One could also say that it would have been better to do it this way right from the beginning..."

isolation_suitable() and migrate_async_suitable() is used to be sure that this pageblock range is fine to be migragted. It isn't needed to call it on every page. Current code do well if not suitable, but, don't do well when suitable. 1) It re-checks isolation_suitable() on each page of a pageblock that was already estabilished as suitable. 2) It re-checks migrate_async_suitable() on each page of a pageblock that was not entered through the next_pageblock: label, because last_pageblock_nr is not otherwise updated. This patch fixes situation by 1) calling isolation_suitable() only once per pageblock and 2) always updating last_pageblock_nr to the pageblock that was just checked. Additionally, move PageBuddy() check after pageblock unit check, since pageblock check is the first thing we should do and makes things more simple.

It is odd to drop the spinlock when we scan (SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX - 1) th pfn page. This may results in below situation while isolating migratepage. 1. try isolate 0x0 ~ 0x200 pfn pages. 2. When low_pfn is 0x1ff, ((low_pfn+1) % SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX) == 0, so drop the spinlock. 3. Then, to complete isolating, retry to aquire the lock. I think that it is better to use SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX th pfn for checking the criteria about dropping the lock. This has no harm 0x0 pfn, because, at this time, locked variable would be false.

suitable_migration_target() checks that pageblock is suitable for migration target. In isolate_freepages_block(), it is called on every page and this is inefficient. So make it called once per pageblock. suitable_migration_target() also checks if page is highorder or not, but it's criteria for highorder is pageblock order. So calling it once within pageblock range has no problem. Signed-off-by:

Purpose of compaction is to get a high order page. Currently, if we find high-order page while searching migration target page, we break it to order-0 pages and use them as migration target. It is contrary to purpose of compaction, so disallow high-order page to be used for migration target. Additionally, clean-up logic in suitable_migration_target() to simplify the code. There is no functional changes from this clean-up. Signed-off-by:
