While compaction is migrating pages to free up large contiguous blocks for allocation it races with other allocation requests that may steal these blocks or break them up. This patch alters direct compaction to capture a suitable free page as soon as it becomes available to reduce this race. It uses similar logic to split_free_page() to ensure that watermarks are still obeyed. Signed-off-by:

If allocation fails after compaction then compaction may be deferred for a number of allocation attempts. If there are subsequent failures, compact_defer_shift is increased to defer for longer periods. This patch uses that information to scale the number of pages reclaimed with compact_defer_shift until allocations succeed again. The rationale is that reclaiming the normal number of pages still allowed compaction to fail and its success depends on the number of pages. If it's failing, reclaim more pages until it succeeds again. Note that this is not implying that VM reclaim is not reclaiming enough pages or that its logic is broken. try_to_free_pages() always asks for SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages to be reclaimed regardless of order and that is what it does. Direct reclaim stops normally with this check. if (sc->nr_reclaimed >= sc->nr_to_reclaim) goto out; should_continue_reclaim delays when that check is made until a minimum number of pages for reclaim/compaction are reclaimed. It is possible that this patch could instead set nr_to_reclaim in try_to_free_pages() and drive it from there but that's behaves differently and not necessarily for the better. If driven from do_try_to_free_pages(), it is also possible that priorities will rise. When they reach DEF_PRIORITY-2, it will also start stalling and setting pages for immediate reclaim which is more disruptive than not desirable in this case. That is a more wide-reaching change that could cause another regression related to THP requests causing interactive jitter. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build] Signed-off-by:

Allocation success rates have been far lower since 3.4 due to commit fe2c2a10 ("vmscan: reclaim at order 0 when compaction is enabled"). This commit was introduced for good reasons and it was known in advance that the success rates would suffer but it was justified on the grounds that the high allocation success rates were achieved by aggressive reclaim. Success rates are expected to suffer even more in 3.6 due to commit 7db8889a ("mm: have order > 0 compaction start off where it left") which testing has shown to severely reduce allocation success rates under load - to 0% in one case. This series aims to improve the allocation success rates without regressing the benefits of commit fe2c2a10. The series is based on latest mmotm and takes into account the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag is going away. Patch 1 updates a stale comment seeing as I was in the general area. Patch 2 updates reclaim/compaction to reclaim pages scaled on the number of recent failures. Patch 3 captures suitable high-order pages freed by compaction to reduce races with parallel allocation requests. Patch 4 fixes the upstream commit [7db8889a: mm: have order > 0 compaction start off where it left] to enable compaction again Patch 5 identifies when compacion is taking too long due to contention and aborts. STRESS-HIGHALLOC 3.6-rc1-akpm full-series Pass 1 36.00 ( 0.00%) 51.00 (15.00%) Pass 2 42.00 ( 0.00%) 63.00 (21.00%) while Rested 86.00 ( 0.00%) 86.00 ( 0.00%) From http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/postings/mmtests-20120424/global-dhp__stress-highalloc-performance-ext3/hydra/comparison.html I know that the allocation success rates in 3.3.6 was 78% in comparison to 36% in in the current akpm tree. With the full series applied, the success rates are up to around 51% with some variability in the results. This is not as high a success rate but it does not reclaim excessively which is a key point. MMTests Statistics: vmstat Page Ins 3050912 3078892 Page Outs 8033528 8039096 Swap Ins 0 0 Swap Outs 0 0 Note that swap in/out rates remain at 0. In 3.3.6 with 78% success rates there were 71881 pages swapped out. Direct pages scanned 70942 122976 Kswapd pages scanned 1366300 1520122 Kswapd pages reclaimed 1366214 1484629 Direct pages reclaimed 70936 105716 Kswapd efficiency 99% 97% Kswapd velocity 1072.550 1182.615 Direct efficiency 99% 85% Direct velocity 55.690 95.672 The kswapd velocity changes very little as expected. kswapd velocity is around the 1000 pages/sec mark where as in kernel 3.3.6 with the high allocation success rates it was 8140 pages/second. Direct velocity is higher as a result of patch 2 of the series but this is expected and is acceptable. The direct reclaim and kswapd velocities change very little. If these get accepted for merging then there is a difficulty in how they should be handled. 7db8889a ("mm: have order > 0 compaction start off where it left") is broken but it is already in 3.6-rc1 and needs to be fixed. However, if just patch 4 from this series is applied then Jim Schutt's workload is known to break again as his workload also requires patch 5. While it would be preferred to have all these patches in 3.6 to improve compaction in general, it would at least be acceptable if just patches 4 and 5 were merged to 3.6 to fix a known problem without breaking compaction completely. On the face of it, that would force __GFP_NO_KSWAPD patches to be merged at the same time but I can do a version of this series with __GFP_NO_KSWAPD change reverted and then rebase it on top of this series. That might be best overall because I note that the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD patch should have removed deferred_compaction from page_alloc.c but it didn't but fixing that causes collisions with this series. This patch: The comment about order applied when the check was order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER which has not been the case since c5a73c3d ("thp: use compaction for all allocation orders"). Fixing the comment while I'm in the general area. Signed-off-by:

People get confused by find_vma_prepare(), because it doesn't care about what it returns in its output args, when its callers won't be interested. Clarify by passing in end-of-range address too, and returning failure if any existing vma overlaps the new range: instead of returning an ambiguous vma which most callers then must check. find_vma_links() is a clearer name. This does revert 2.6.27's dfe195fb ("mm: fix uninitialized variables for find_vma_prepare callers"), but it looks like gcc 4.3.0 was one of those releases too eager to shout about uninitialized variables: only copy_vma() warns with 4.5.1 and 4.7.1, which a BUG on error silences.

When writing a new file with 2048 bytes buffer, such as write(fd, buffer, 2048), it will call generic_perform_write() twice for every page: write_begin mark_page_accessed(page) write_end write_begin mark_page_accessed(page) write_end Pages 1-13 will be added to lru-pvecs in write_begin() and will *NOT* be added to active_list even they have be accessed twice because they are not PageLRU(page). But when page 14th comes, all pages in lru-pvecs will be moved to inactive_list (by __lru_cache_add() ) in first write_begin(), now page 14th *is* PageLRU(page). And after second write_end() only page 14th will be in active_list. In Hadoop environment, we do comes to this situation: after writing a file, we find out that only 14th, 28th, 42th... page are in active_list and others in inactive_list. Now kswapd works, shrinks the inactive_list, the file only have 14th, 28th...pages in memory, the readahead request size will be broken to only 52k (13*4k), system's performance falls dramatically. This problem can also replay by below steps (the machine has 8G memory): 1. dd if=/dev/zero of=/test/file.out bs=1024 count=1048576 2. cat another 7.5G file to /dev/null 3. vmtouch -m 1G -v /test/file.out, it will show: /test/file.out [oooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO] 187847/262144 the 'o' means same pages are in memory but same are not. The solution for this problem is simple: the 14th page should be added to lru_add_pvecs before mark_page_accessed() just as other pages.

A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA, currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects: | effect | alternative flags -+------------------------+--------------------------------------------- 1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO 2| skip in core dump | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP 3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP 4| do not mlock | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct. Seems like nobody cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only reduces total_vm showed in proc.

Currently the kernel sets mm->exe_file during sys_execve() and then tracks number of vmas with VM_EXECUTABLE flag in mm->num_exe_file_vmas, as soon as this counter drops to zero kernel resets mm->exe_file to NULL. Plus it resets mm->exe_file at last mmput() when mm->mm_users drops to zero. VMA with VM_EXECUTABLE flag appears after mapping file with flag MAP_EXECUTABLE, such vmas can appears only at sys_execve() or after vma splitting, because sys_mmap ignores this flag. Usually binfmt module sets mm->exe_file and mmaps executable vmas with this file, they hold mm->exe_file while task is running. comment from v2.6.25-6245-g925d1c40 ("procfs task exe symlink"), where all this stuff was introduced: > The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from > the first executable VMA. Then the path to the file is reconstructed and > reported as the result. > > Because of the VMA walk the code is slightly different on nommu systems. > This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems. Instead of > walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a > reference to the exec'd file in the mm_struct. > > That reference would prevent the filesystem holding the executable file > from being unmounted even after unmapping the VMAs. So we track the number > of VM_EXECUTABLE VMAs and drop the new reference when the last one is > unmapped. This avoids pinning the mounted filesystem. exe_file's vma accounting is hooked into every file mmap/unmmap and vma split/merge just to fix some hypothetical pinning fs from umounting by mm, which already unmapped all its executable files, but still alive. Seems like currently nobody depends on this behaviour. We can try to remove this logic and keep mm->exe_file until final mmput(). mm->exe_file is still protected with mm->mmap_sem, because we want to change it via new sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE). Also via this syscall task can change its mm->exe_file and unpin mountpoint explicitly. Signed-off-by:

Move actual pte filling for non-linear file mappings into the new special vma operation: ->remap_pages(). Filesystems must implement this method to get non-linear mapping support, if it uses filemap_fault() then generic_file_remap_pages() can be used. Now device drivers can implement this method and obtain nonlinear vma support. Signed-off-by:

Merge VM_INSERTPAGE into VM_MIXEDMAP. VM_MIXEDMAP VMA can mix pure-pfn ptes, special ptes and normal ptes. Now copy_page_range() always copies VM_MIXEDMAP VMA on fork like VM_PFNMAP. If driver populates whole VMA at mmap() it probably not expects page-faults. This patch removes special check from vma_wants_writenotify() which disables pages write tracking for VMA populated via vm_instert_page(). BDI below mapped file should not use dirty-accounting, moreover do_wp_page() can handle this. vm_insert_page() still marks vma after first usage. Usually it is called from f_op->mmap() handler under mm->mmap_sem write-lock, so it able to change vma->vm_flags. Caller must set VM_MIXEDMAP at mmap time if it wants to call this function from other places, for example from page-fault handler. Signed-off-by:

With PAT enabled, vm_insert_pfn() looks up the existing pfn memory attribute and uses it. Expectation is that the driver reserves the memory attributes for the pfn before calling vm_insert_pfn(). remap_pfn_range() (when called for the whole vma) will setup a new attribute (based on the prot argument) for the specified pfn range. This addresses the legacy usage which typically calls remap_pfn_range() with a desired memory attribute. For ranges smaller than the vma size (which is typically not the case), remap_pfn_range() will use the existing memory attribute for the pfn range. Expose two different API's for these different behaviors. track_pfn_insert() for tracking the pfn attribute set by vm_insert_pfn() and track_pfn_remap() for the remap_pfn_range(). This cleanup also prepares the ground for the track/untrack pfn vma routines to take over the ownership of setting PAT specific vm_flag in the 'vma'.

'pfn' argument for track_pfn_vma_new() can be used for reserving the attribute for the pfn range. No need to depend on 'vm_pgoff' Similarly, untrack_pfn_vma() can depend on the 'pfn' argument if it is non-zero or can use follow_phys() to get the starting value of the pfn range. Also the non zero 'size' argument can be used instead of recomputing it from vma. This cleanup also prepares the ground for the track/untrack pfn vma routines to take over the ownership of setting PAT specific vm_flag in the 'vma'.

When transparent huge pages were introduced, memory compaction and swap storms were an issue, and the kernel had to be careful to not make THP allocations cause pageout or compaction. Now that we have working compaction deferral, kswapd is smart enough to invoke compaction and the quadratic behaviour around isolate_free_pages has been fixed, it should be safe to remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD.

The synchronization between CPU hotplug readers and writers is achieved by means of refcounting, safeguarded by the cpu_hotplug.lock. get_online_cpus() increments the refcount, whereas put_online_cpus() decrements it. If we ever hit an imbalance between the two, we end up compromising the guarantees of the hotplug synchronization i.e, for example, an extra call to put_online_cpus() can end up allowing a hotplug reader to execute concurrently with a hotplug writer. So, add a WARN_ON() in put_online_cpus() to detect such cases where the refcount can go negative, and also attempt to fix it up, so that we can continue to run. Signed-off-by:

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai: "This contains pretty many small commits covering fairly large range of files in sound/ directory. Partly because of additional API support and partly because of constantly developed ASoC and ARM stuff. Some highlights: - Introduced the helper function and documentation for exposing the channel map via control API, as discussed in Plumbers; most of PCI drivers are covered, will follow more drivers later - Most of drivers have been replaced with the new PM callbacks (if the bus is supported) - HD-audio controller got the support of runtime PM and the support of D3 clock-stop. Also changing the power_save option in sysfs kicks off immediately to enable / disable the power-save mode. - Another significant code change in HD-audio is the rewrite of firmware loading code. Other than that, most of changes in HD-audio are continued cleanups and standardization for the generic auto parser and bug fixes (HBR, device-specific fixups), in addition to the support of channel-map API. - Addition of ASoC bindings for the compressed API, used by the mid-x86 drivers. - Lots of cleanups and API refreshes for ASoC codec drivers and DaVinci. - Conversion of OMAP to dmaengine. - New machine driver for Wolfson Microelectronics Bells. - New CODEC driver for Wolfson Microelectronics WM0010. - Enhancements to the ux500 and wm2000 drivers - A new driver for DA9055 and the support for regulator bypass mode."

Change de_thread() to use KILLABLE rather than UNINTERRUPTIBLE while waiting for other threads. The only complication is that we should clear ->group_exit_task and ->notify_count before we return, and we should do this under tasklist_lock. -EAGAIN is used to match the initial signal_group_exit() check/return, it doesn't really matter. This fixes the (unlikely) race with coredump. de_thread() checks signal_group_exit() before it starts to kill the subthreads, but this can't help if another CLONE_VM (but non CLONE_THREAD) task starts the coredumping after de_thread() unlocks ->siglock. In this case the killed sub-thread can block in exit_mm() waiting for coredump_finish(), execing thread waits for that sub-thead, and the coredumping thread waits for execing thread. Deadlock.

Pull sparc changes from David S Miller: "There is an attempt to fix a bad interaction between syscall tracing and force_successful_syscall() from Al Viro, but it needs to be redone as it introduced regressions and thus had to be reverted for now. Al is working on an updated version. But what we do have here are some significant bzero/memset improvements for Niagara-4. An 8K page can be cleared in around 600 cycles, because we essentially have a store that behaves like powerpc's dcbz that we can actually make real use of." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc: Revert strace hiccups fix. sparc64: Niagara-4 bzero/memset, plus use MRU stores in page copy. sparc64: Fix strace hiccups when force_successful_syscall() triggers. sparc64: Rearrange thread info to cheaply clear syscall noerror state.

task_work_run() implementation had the side effect of enabling interrupts. With commit ac3d0da8 (task_work: Make task_work_add() lockless), interrupts are no longer enabled revealing the bug in the arch code. This patch enables the interrupt explicitly before calling do_notify_resume(). Signed-off-by:

Following commit 74838b75 (swiotlb: add the late swiotlb initialization function with iotlb memory) the swiotlb_init_with_default_size() is a static function. This patch changes the arm64 code to call swiotlb_init() instead and use the default size of 64MB. It is assumed that AArch64 platforms have enough RAM to afford the pre-allocated swiotlb memory. It also removes the #ifdef around this call since CONFIG_SWIOTLB is always enabled. Signed-off-by:

Pull UBI fastmap changes from Artem Bityutskiy: "This pull request contains the UBI fastmap support implemented by Richard Weinberger from Linutronix. Fastmap is designed to address UBI's slow scanning issues. Namely, it introduces a new on-flash data-structure called "fastmap", which stores the information about logical<->physical eraseblocks mappings. So now to get this information just read the fastmap, instead of doing full scan. More information here can be found in Richard's announcement in LKML (Subject: UBI: Fastmap request for inclusion (v19)): http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1364922/focus=1369109 One thing I want to explicitly say is that fastmap did not have large enough linux-next exposure. It is partially my fault - I did not respond quickly enough. I _really_ apologize for this. But it had good testing and disabled by default, so I do not expect that we'll break anything. Fastmap is declared as experimental so far, and it is off by default. We did declare that the on-flash format may be changed. The reason for this is that no one used it in real production so far, so there is a high risk that something is missing. Besides, we do not have user-space tools supporting fastmap so far. Nevertheless, I suggest we merge this feature. Many people want UBI's scanning bottleneck to be fixed and merging fastmap now should accelerate its production use. The plan is to make it bullet-prove, somewhat clean-up, and make it the default for UBI. I do not know how many kernel releases will it take. Basically, I what I want to do for fastmap is something like Linus did for btrfs few years ago." * tag 'upstream-3.7-rc1-fastmap' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-ubi: UBI: Wire-up fastmap UBI: Add fastmap core UBI: Add fastmap support to the WL sub-system UBI: Add fastmap stuff to attach.c UBI: Wire-up ->fm_sem UBI: Add fastmap bits to build.c UBI: Add self_check_eba() UBI: Export next_sqnum() UBI: Add fastmap stuff to ubi.h UBI: Add fastmap on-flash data structures -
