shmem likes to occasionally drop the lock, schedule, then reacqire the lock and continue with the iteration from the last place it left off. This is currently done with a pretty ugly goto. Introduce radix_tree_iter_next() and use it throughout shmem.c. [koct9i@gmail.com: fix bug in radix_tree_iter_next() for tagged iteration] Signed-off-by:

Instead of a 'goto restart', we can now use radix_tree_iter_retry() to restart from our current position. This will make a difference when there are more ways to happen across an indirect pointer. And it eliminates some confusing gotos. [vbabka@suse.cz: remove now-obsolete-and-misleading comment] Signed-off-by:

With huge pages, it is convenient to have the radix tree be able to return an entry that covers multiple indices. Previous attempts to deal with the problem have involved inserting N duplicate entries, which is a waste of memory and leads to problems trying to handle aliased tags, or probing the tree multiple times to find alternative entries which might cover the requested index. This approach inserts one canonical entry into the tree for a given range of indices, and may also insert other entries in order to ensure that lookups find the canonical entry. This solution only tolerates inserting powers of two that are greater than the fanout of the tree. If we wish to expand the radix tree's abilities to support large-ish pages that is less than the fanout at the penultimate level of the tree, then we would need to add one more step in lookup to ensure that any sibling nodes in the final level of the tree are dereferenced and we return the canonical entry that they reference.

This code is mostly from Andrew Morton and Nick Piggin; tarball downloaded from http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/rtth.tar.gz with sha1sum 0ce679db9ec047296b5d1ff7a1dfaa03a7bef1bd Some small modifications were necessary to the test harness to fix the build with the current Linux source code. I also made minor modifications to automatically test the radix-tree.c and radix-tree.h files that are in the current source tree, as opposed to a copied and slightly modified version. I am sure more could be done to tidy up the harness, as well as adding more tests. [koct9i@gmail.com: fix compilation] Signed-off-by:

Christian Borntraeger reported that panic_on_warn doesn't have any effect on s390. The panic_on_warn feature was introduced with 9e3961a0 ("kernel: add panic_on_warn"). However it did care only for the case when WANT_WARN_ON_SLOWPATH is defined. This is turn is only the case for architectures which do not have an own __WARN_TAINT defined. Other architectures which do have __WARN_TAINT defined call report_bug() for warnings within lib/bug.c which does not call panic() in case panic_on_warn is set. Let's simply enable the panic_on_warn feature by adding the same code like it was added to warn_slowpath_common() in panic.c. This enables panic_on_warn also for arm64, parisc, powerpc, s390 and sh.

console_unlock() allows to cond_resched() if its caller has set `console_may_schedule' to 1, since 8d91f8b1 ("printk: do cond_resched() between lines while outputting to consoles"). The rules are: -- console_lock() always sets `console_may_schedule' to 1 -- console_trylock() always sets `console_may_schedule' to 0 However, console_trylock() callers (among them is printk()) do not always call printk() from atomic contexts, and some of them can cond_resched() in console_unlock(), so console_trylock() can set `console_may_schedule' to 1 for such processes. For !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT kernels, however, console_trylock() always sets `console_may_schedule' to 0. It's possible to drop explicit preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() in vprintk_emit(), because console_unlock() and console_trylock() are now smart enough: a) console_unlock() does not cond_resched() when it's unsafe (console_trylock() takes care of that) b) console_unlock() does can_use_console() check.

console_unlock() allows to cond_resched() if its caller has set `console_may_schedule' to 1 (this functionality is present since 8d91f8b1 ("printk: do cond_resched() between lines while outputting to consoles"). The rules are: -- console_lock() always sets `console_may_schedule' to 1 -- console_trylock() always sets `console_may_schedule' to 0 printk() calls console_unlock() with preemption desabled, which basically can lead to RCU stalls, watchdog soft lockups, etc. if something is simultaneously calling printk() frequent enough (IOW, console_sem owner always has new data to send to console divers and can't leave console_unlock() for a long time). printk()->console_trylock() callers do not necessarily execute in atomic contexts, and some of them can cond_resched() in console_unlock(). console_trylock() can set `console_may_schedule' to 1 (allow cond_resched() later in consoe_unlock()) when it's safe. This patch (of 3): vprintk_emit() disables preemption around console_trylock_for_printk() and console_unlock() calls for a strong reason -- can_use_console() check. The thing is that vprintl_emit() can be called on a CPU that is not fully brought up yet (!cpu_online()), which potentially can cause problems if console driver wants to access per-cpu data. A console driver can explicitly state that it's safe to call it from !online cpu by setting CON_ANYTIME bit in console ->flags. That's why for !cpu_online() can_use_console() iterates all the console to find out if there is a CON_ANYTIME console, otherwise console_unlock() must be avoided. can_use_console() ensures that console_unlock() call is safe in vprintk_emit() only; console_lock() and console_trylock() are not covered by this check. Even though call_console_drivers(), invoked from console_cont_flush() and console_unlock(), tests `!cpu_online() && CON_ANYTIME' for_each_console(), it may be too late, which can result in messages loss. Assume that we have 2 cpus -- CPU0 is online, CPU1 is !online, and no CON_ANYTIME consoles available. CPU0 online CPU1 !online console_trylock() ... console_unlock() console_cont_flush spin_lock logbuf_lock if (!cont.len) { spin_unlock logbuf_lock return } for (;;) { vprintk_emit spin_lock logbuf_lock log_store spin_unlock logbuf_lock spin_lock logbuf_lock !console_trylock_for_printk msg_print_text return console_idx = log_next() console_seq++ console_prev = msg->flags spin_unlock logbuf_lock call_console_drivers() for_each_console(con) { if (!cpu_online() && !(con->flags & CON_ANYTIME)) continue; } /* * no message printed, we lost it */ vprintk_emit spin_lock logbuf_lock log_store spin_unlock logbuf_lock !console_trylock_for_printk return /* * go to the beginning of the loop, * find out there are new messages, * lose it */ } console_trylock()/console_lock() call on CPU1 may come from cpu notifiers registered on that CPU. Since notifiers are not getting unregistered when CPU is going DOWN, all of the notifiers receive notifications during CPU UP. For example, on my x86_64, I see around 50 notification sent from offline CPU to itself [swapper/2] from cpu:2 to:2 action:CPU_STARTING hotplug_hrtick [swapper/2] from cpu:2 to:2 action:CPU_STARTING blk_mq_main_cpu_notify [swapper/2] from cpu:2 to:2 action:CPU_STARTING blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify [swapper/2] from cpu:2 to:2 action:CPU_STARTING console_cpu_notify while doing echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online So grabbing the console_sem lock while CPU is !online is possible, in theory. This patch moves can_use_console() check out of console_trylock_for_printk(). Instead it calls it in console_unlock(), so now console_lock()/console_unlock() are also 'protected' by can_use_console(). This also means that console_trylock_for_printk() is not really needed anymore and can be removed. Signed-off-by:

This has hit me a couple of times already. I would be debugging code and the system would simply hang and then reboot. Finally, I found that the problem was caused by WARN_ON_ONCE() and friends. The macro WARN_ON_ONCE(condition) is defined as: static bool __section(.data.unlikely) __warned; int __ret_warn_once = !!(condition); if (unlikely(__ret_warn_once)) if (WARN_ON(!__warned)) __warned = true; unlikely(__ret_warn_once); Which looks great and all. But what I have hit, is an issue when WARN_ON() itself hits the same WARN_ON_ONCE() code. Because, the variable __warned is not yet set. Then it too calls WARN_ON() and that triggers the warning again. It keeps doing this until the stack is overflowed and the system crashes. By setting __warned first before calling WARN_ON() makes the original WARN_ON_ONCE() really only warn once, and not an infinite amount of times if the WARN_ON() also triggers the warning.

On i686 PAE enabled machine the contiguous physical area could be large and it can cause trimming down variables in below calculation in read_vmcore() and mmap_vmcore(): tsz = min_t(size_t, m->offset + m->size - *fpos, buflen); That is, the types being used is like below on i686: m->offset: unsigned long long int m->size: unsigned long long int *fpos: loff_t (long long int) buflen: size_t (unsigned int) So casting (m->offset + m->size - *fpos) by size_t means truncating a given value by 4GB. Suppose (m->offset + m->size - *fpos) being truncated to 0, buflen >0 then we will get tsz = 0. It is of course not an expected result. Similarly we could also get other truncated values less than buflen. Then the real size passed down is not correct any more. If (m->offset + m->size - *fpos) is above 4GB, read_vmcore or mmap_vmcore use the min_t result with truncated values being compared to buflen. Then, fpos proceeds with the wrong value so that we reach below bugs: 1) read_vmcore will refuse to continue so makedumpfile fails. 2) mmap_vmcore will trigger BUG_ON() in remap_pfn_range(). Use unsigned long long in min_t instead so that the variables in are not truncated. Signed-off-by:

This patch provides a proc/PID/timerslack_ns interface which exposes a task's timerslack value in nanoseconds and allows it to be changed. This allows power/performance management software to set timer slack for other threads according to its policy for the thread (such as when the thread is designated foreground vs. background activity) If the value written is non-zero, slack is set to that value. Otherwise sets it to the default for the thread. This interface checks that the calling task has permissions to to use PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS on the target task, so that we can ensure arbitrary apps do not change the timer slack for other apps.

John Stultz authored
This patchset introduces a /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which would allow controlling processes to be able to set the timerslack value on other processes in order to save power by avoiding wakeups (Something Android currently does via out-of-tree patches). The first patch tries to fix the internal timer_slack_ns usage which was defined as a long, which limits the slack range to ~4 seconds on 32bit systems. It converts it to a u64, which provides the same basically unlimited slack (500 years) on both 32bit and 64bit machines. The second patch introduces the /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which allows the full 64bit slack range for a task to be read or set on both 32bit and 64bit machines. With these two patches, on a 32bit machine, after setting the slack on bash to 10 seconds: $ time sleep 1 real 0m10.747s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.005s The first patch is a little ugly, since I had to chase the slack delta arguments through a number of functions converting them to u64s. Let me know if it makes sense to break that up more or not. Other than that things are fairly straightforward. This patch (of 2): The timer_slack_ns value in the task struct is currently a unsigned long. This means that on 32bit applications, the maximum slack is just over 4 seconds. However, on 64bit machines, its much much larger (~500 years). This disparity could make application development a little (as well as the default_slack) to a u64. This means both 32bit and 64bit systems have the same effective internal slack range. Now the existing ABI via PR_GET_TIMERSLACK and PR_SET_TIMERSLACK specify the interface as a unsigned long, so we preserve that limitation on 32bit systems, where SET_TIMERSLACK can only set the slack to a unsigned long value, and GET_TIMERSLACK will return ULONG_MAX if the slack is actually larger then what can be stored by an unsigned long. This patch also modifies hrtimer functions which specified the slack delta as a unsigned long. Signed-off-by:

While oom_killer_disable() is called by freeze_processes() after all user threads except the current thread are frozen, it is possible that kernel threads invoke the OOM killer and sends SIGKILL to the current thread due to sharing the thawed victim's memory.

Add a new column to pool stats, which will tell how many pages ideally can be freed by class compaction, so it will be easier to analyze zsmalloc fragmentation. At the moment, we have only numbers of FULL and ALMOST_EMPTY classes, but they don't tell us how badly the class is fragmented internally. The new /sys/kernel/debug/zsmalloc/zramX/classes output look as follows: class size almost_full almost_empty obj_allocated obj_used pages_used pages_per_zspage freeable [..] 12 224 0 2 146 5 8 4 4 13 240 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 14 256 1 13 1840 1672 115 1 10 15 272 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 [..] 49 816 0 3 745 735 149 1 2 51 848 3 4 361 306 76 4 8 52 864 12 14 378 268 81 3 21 54 896 1 12 117 57 26 2 12 57 944 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 [..] Total 26 131 12709 10994 1071 134 For example, from this particular output we can easily conclude that class-896 is heavily fragmented -- it occupies 26 pages, 12 can be freed by compaction.

Setting the original memory.limit_in_bytes hardlimit is subject to a race condition when the desired value is below the current usage. The code tries a few times to first reclaim and then see if the usage has dropped to where we would like it to be, but there is no locking, and the workload is free to continue making new charges up to the old limit. Thus, attempting to shrink a workload relies on pure luck and hope that the workload happens to cooperate. To fix this in the cgroup2 memory.max knob, do it the other way round: set the limit first, then try enforcement. And if reclaim is not able to succeed, trigger OOM kills in the group. Keep going until the new limit is met, we run out of OOM victims and there's only unreclaimable memory left, or the task writing to memory.max is killed. This allows users to shrink groups reliably, and the behavior is consistent with what happens when new charges are attempted in excess of memory.max. Signed-off-by:

Johannes Weiner authored
When setting memory.high below usage, nothing happens until the next charge comes along, and then it will only reclaim its own charge and not the now potentially huge excess of the new memory.high. This can cause groups to stay in excess of their memory.high indefinitely. To fix that, when shrinking memory.high, kick off a reclaim cycle that goes after the delta. Signed-off-by:

Currently memset() clears over whole buffer for every walk_pfn() call, which is inefficient when walk_pfn() is called from walk_vma(), because in that case walk_pfn() is called for each pfn.

Upstream has supported page parallel initialisation for X86 and the boot time is improved greately. Some tests have been done for Power. Here is the result I have done with different memory size. * 4GB memory: boot time is as the following: with patch vs without patch: 10.4s vs 24.5s boot time is improved 57% * 200GB memory: boot time looks the same with and without patches. boot time is about 38s * 32TB memory: boot time looks the same with and without patches boot time is about 160s. The boot time is much shorter than X86 with 24TB memory. From community discussion, it costs about 694s for X86 24T system. Parallel initialisation improves the performance by deferring memory initilisation to kswap with N kthreads, it should improve the performance therotically. In testing on X86, performance is improved greatly with huge memory. But on Power platform, it is improved greatly with less than 100GB memory. For huge memory, it is not improved greatly. But it saves the time with several threads at least, as the following information shows(32TB system log): [ 22.648169] node 9 initialised, 16607461 pages in 280ms [ 22.783772] node 3 initialised, 23937243 pages in 410ms [ 22.858877] node 6 initialised, 29179347 pages in 490ms [ 22.863252] node 2 initialised, 29179347 pages in 490ms [ 22.907545] node 0 initialised, 32049614 pages in 540ms [ 22.920891] node 15 initialised, 32212280 pages in 550ms [ 22.923236] node 4 initialised, 32306127 pages in 550ms [ 22.923384] node 12 initialised, 32314319 pages in 550ms [ 22.924754] node 8 initialised, 32314319 pages in 550ms [ 22.940780] node 13 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms [ 22.940796] node 11 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms [ 22.941700] node 5 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms [ 22.941721] node 10 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms [ 22.941876] node 7 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms [ 22.944946] node 14 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms [ 22.946063] node 1 initialised, 33345485 pages in 580ms It saves the time about 550*16 ms at least, although it can be ignore to compare the boot time about 160 seconds. What's more, the boot time is much shorter on Power even without patches than x86 for huge memory machine. So this patchset is still necessary to be enabled for Power. This patch (of 2): This patch is based on Mel Gorman's old patch in the mailing list, https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/5/280 which is discussed but it is fixed with a completion to wait for all memory initialised in page_alloc_init_late(). It is to fix the OOM problem on X86 with 24TB memory which allocates memory in late initialisation. But for Power platform with 32TB memory, it causes a call trace in vfs_caches_init->inode_init() and inode hash table needs more memory. So this patch allocates 1GB for 0.25TB/node for large system as it is mentioned in https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/1/627 This call trace is found on Power with 32TB memory, 1024CPUs, 16nodes. Currently, it only allocates 2GB*16=32GB for early initialisation. But Dentry cache hash table needes 16GB and Inode cache hash table needs 16GB. So the system have no enough memory for it. The log from dmesg as the following: Dentry cache hash table entries: 2147483648 (order: 18,17179869184 bytes) vmalloc: allocation failure, allocated 16021913600 of 17179934720 bytes swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:0,mode:0x2080020 CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.4.0-0-ppc64 Call Trace: .dump_stack+0xb4/0xb664 (unreliable) .warn_alloc_failed+0x114/0x160 .__vmalloc_area_node+0x1a4/0x2b0 .__vmalloc_node_range+0xe4/0x110 .__vmalloc_node+0x40/0x50 .alloc_large_system_hash+0x134/0x2a4 .inode_init+0xa4/0xf0 .vfs_caches_init+0x80/0x144 .start_kernel+0x40c/0x4e0 start_here_common+0x20/0x4a4 Signed-off-by: -

split_huge_pmd() tries to munlock page with munlock_vma_page(). That requires the page to locked. If the is locked by caller, we would get a deadlock: Unable to find swap-space signature INFO: task trinity-c85:1907 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

But munlock_vma_page() here is wrong: we want to munlock the page unconditionally, no need in rmap lookup, that munlock_vma_page() does. Let's use clear_page_mlock() instead. It can be called under ptl. Fixes: e90309c9 ("thp: allow mlocked THP again") Signed-off-by:Kirill A. Shutemov <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by:
