This patch escapes a regex that uses left brace. Using checkpatch.pl with Perl 5.22.0 generates the warning: "Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex;" Comment from regcomp.c in Perl source: "Currently we don't warn when the lbrace is at the start of a construct. This catches it in the middle of a literal string, or when it's the first thing after something like "\b"." This works as a complement to 4e5d56bd ("checkpatch: fix left brace warning").

Migration accounting in the memory controller used to have to handle both oldpage and newpage being on the LRU already; fuse's page cache replacement used to pass a recycled newpage that had been uncharged but not freed and removed from the LRU, and the memcg migration code used to uncharge oldpage to "pass on" the existing charge to newpage. Nowadays, pages are no longer uncharged when truncated from the page cache, but rather only at free time, so if a LRU page is recycled in page cache replacement it'll also still be charged. And we bail out of the charge transfer altogether in that case. Tell commit_charge() that we know newpage is not on the LRU, to avoid taking the zone->lru_lock unnecessarily from the migration path. But also, oldpage is no longer uncharged inside migration. We only use oldpage for its page->mem_cgroup and page size, so we don't care about its LRU state anymore either. Remove any mention from the kernel doc. Signed-off-by:

There is a performance drop report due to hugepage allocation and in there half of cpu time are spent on pageblock_pfn_to_page() in compaction [1]. In that workload, compaction is triggered to make hugepage but most of pageblocks are un-available for compaction due to pageblock type and skip bit so compaction usually fails. Most costly operations in this case is to find valid pageblock while scanning whole zone range. To check if pageblock is valid to compact, valid pfn within pageblock is required and we can obtain it by calling pageblock_pfn_to_page(). This function checks whether pageblock is in a single zone and return valid pfn if possible. Problem is that we need to check it every time before scanning pageblock even if we re-visit it and this turns out to be very expensive in this workload. Although we have no way to skip this pageblock check in the system where hole exists at arbitrary position, we can use cached value for zone continuity and just do pfn_to_page() in the system where hole doesn't exist. This optimization considerably speeds up in above workload. Before vs After Max: 1096 MB/s vs 1325 MB/s Min: 635 MB/s 1015 MB/s Avg: 899 MB/s 1194 MB/s Avg is improved by roughly 30% [2].

pageblock_pfn_to_page() is used to check there is valid pfn and all pages in the pageblock is in a single zone. If there is a hole in the pageblock, passing arbitrary position to pageblock_pfn_to_page() could cause to skip whole pageblock scanning, instead of just skipping the hole page. For deterministic behaviour, it's better to always pass pageblock aligned range to pageblock_pfn_to_page(). It will also help further optimization on pageblock_pfn_to_page() in the following patch.

free_pfn and compact_cached_free_pfn are the pointer that remember restart position of freepage scanner. When they are reset or invalid, we set them to zone_end_pfn because freepage scanner works in reverse direction. But, because zone range is defined as [zone_start_pfn, zone_end_pfn), zone_end_pfn is invalid to access. Therefore, we should not store it to free_pfn and compact_cached_free_pfn. Instead, we need to store zone_end_pfn - 1 to them. There is one more thing we should consider. Freepage scanner scan reversely by pageblock unit. If free_pfn and compact_cached_free_pfn are set to middle of pageblock, it regards that sitiation as that it already scans front part of pageblock so we lose opportunity to scan there. To fix-up, this patch do round_down() to guarantee that reset position will be pageblock aligned. Note that thanks to the current pageblock_pfn_to_page() implementation, actual access to zone_end_pfn doesn't happen until now. But, following patch will change pageblock_pfn_to_page() so this patch is needed from now on. Signed-off-by:

There are several users that nest lock_page_memcg() inside lock_page() to prevent page->mem_cgroup from changing. But the page lock prevents pages from moving between cgroups, so that is unnecessary overhead. Remove lock_page_memcg() in contexts with locked contexts and fix the debug code in the page stat functions to be okay with the page lock. Signed-off-by:

Now that migration doesn't clear page->mem_cgroup of live pages anymore, it's safe to make lock_page_memcg() and the memcg stat functions take pages, and spare the callers from memcg objects. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] Signed-off-by:

Johannes Weiner authored
Changing a page's memcg association complicates dealing with the page, so we want to limit this as much as possible. Page migration e.g. does not have to do that. Just like page cache replacement, it can forcibly charge a replacement page, and then uncharge the old page when it gets freed. Temporarily overcharging the cgroup by a single page is not an issue in practice, and charging is so cheap nowadays that this is much preferrable to the headache of messing with live pages. The only place that still changes the page->mem_cgroup binding of live pages is when pages move along with a task to another cgroup. But that path isolates the page from the LRU, takes the page lock, and the move lock (lock_page_memcg()). That means page->mem_cgroup is always stable in callers that have the page isolated from the LRU or locked. Lighter unlocked paths, like writeback accounting, can use lock_page_memcg().

Cache thrash detection (see a528910e "mm: thrash detection-based file cache sizing" for details) currently only works on the system level, not inside cgroups. Worse, as the refaults are compared to the global number of active cache, cgroups might wrongfully get all their refaults activated when their pages are hotter than those of others. Move the refault machinery from the zone to the lruvec, and then tag eviction entries with the memcg ID. This makes the thrash detection work correctly inside cgroups.

For per-cgroup thrash detection, we need to store the memcg ID inside the radix tree cookie as well. However, on 32 bit that doesn't leave enough bits for the eviction timestamp to cover the necessary range of recently evicted pages. The radix tree entry would look like this: [ RADIX_TREE_EXCEPTIONAL(2) | ZONEID(2) | MEMCGID(16) | EVICTION(12) ] 12 bits means 4096 pages, means 16M worth of recently evicted pages. But refaults are actionable up to distances covering half of memory. To not miss refaults, we have to stretch out the range at the cost of how precisely we can tell when a page was evicted. This way we can shave off lower bits from the eviction timestamp until the necessary range is covered. E.g. grouping evictions into 1M buckets (256 pages) will stretch the longest representable refault distance to 4G. This patch implements eviction buckets that are automatically sized according to the available bits and the necessary refault range, in preparation for per-cgroup thrash detection. The maximum actionable distance is currently half of memory, but to support memory hotplug of up to 200% of boot-time memory, we size the buckets to cover double the distance. Beyond that, thrashing won't be detectable anymore. During boot, the kernel will print out the exact parameters, like so: [ 0.113929] workingset: timestamp_bits=12 max_order=18 bucket_order=6 In this example, there are 12 radix entry bits available for the eviction timestamp, to cover a maximum distance of 2^18 pages (this is a 1G machine). Consequently, evictions must be grouped into buckets of 2^6 pages, or 256K. Signed-off-by:

Per-cgroup thrash detection will need to derive a live memcg from the eviction cookie, and doing that inside unpack_shadow() will get nasty with the reference handling spread over two functions. In preparation, make unpack_shadow() clearly about extracting static data, and let workingset_refault() do all the higher-level handling. Signed-off-by:

Johannes Weiner authored
These patches tag the page cache radix tree eviction entries with the memcg an evicted page belonged to, thus making per-cgroup LRU reclaim work properly and be as adaptive to new cache workingsets as global reclaim already is. This should have been part of the original thrash detection patch series, but was deferred due to the complexity of those patches. This patch (of 5): So far the only sites that needed to exclude charge migration to stabilize page->mem_cgroup have been per-cgroup page statistics, hence the name mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat(). But per-cgroup thrash detection will add another site that needs to ensure page->mem_cgroup lifetime. Rename these locking functions to the more generic lock_page_memcg() and unlock_page_memcg(). Since charge migration is a cgroup1 feature only, we might be able to delete it at some point, and these now easy to identify locking sites along with it. Signed-off-by:

zone_reclaimable_pages() is used in should_reclaim_retry() which uses it to calculate the target for the watermark check. This means that precise numbers are important for the correct decision. zone_reclaimable_pages uses zone_page_state which can contain stale data with per-cpu diffs not synced yet (the last vmstat_update might have run 1s in the past). Use zone_page_state_snapshot() in zone_reclaimable_pages() instead. None of the current callers is in a hot path where getting the precise value (which involves per-cpu iteration) would cause an unreasonable overhead. Signed-off-by:

Currently, all newly added memory blocks remain in 'offline' state unless someone onlines them, some linux distributions carry special udev rules like: SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", ATTR{state}=="offline", ATTR{state}="online" to make this happen automatically. This is not a great solution for virtual machines where memory hotplug is being used to address high memory pressure situations as such onlining is slow and a userspace process doing this (udev) has a chance of being killed by the OOM killer as it will probably require to allocate some memory. Introduce default policy for the newly added memory blocks in /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks file with two possible values: "offline" which preserves the current behavior and "online" which causes all newly added memory blocks to go online as soon as they're added. The default is "offline". Signed-off-by: -

By default, page poisoning uses a poison value (0xaa) on free. If this is changed to 0, the page is not only sanitized but zeroing on alloc with __GFP_ZERO can be skipped as well. The tradeoff is that detecting corruption from the poisoning is harder to detect. This feature also cannot be used with hibernation since pages are not guaranteed to be zeroed after hibernation.

Page poisoning is currently set up as a feature if architectures don't have architecture debug page_alloc to allow unmapping of pages. It has uses apart from that though. Clearing of the pages on free provides an increase in security as it helps to limit the risk of information leaks. Allow page poisoning to be enabled as a separate option independent of kernel_map pages since the two features do separate work. Because of how hiberanation is implemented, the checks on alloc cannot occur if hibernation is enabled. The runtime alloc checks can also be enabled with an option when !HIBERNATION.

Since bad_page() is the only user of the badflags parameter of dump_page_badflags(), we can move the code to bad_page() and simplify a bit. The dump_page_badflags() function is renamed to __dump_page() and can still be called separately from dump_page() for temporary debug prints where page_owner info is not desired. The only user-visible change is that page->mem_cgroup is printed before the bad flags. Signed-off-by:

The page_owner mechanism is useful for dealing with memory leaks. By reading /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner one can determine the stack traces leading to allocations of all pages, and find e.g. a buggy driver. This information might be also potentially useful for debugging, such as the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() calls to dump_page(). So let's print the stored info from dump_page().

During migration, page_owner info is now copied with the rest of the page, so the stacktrace leading to free page allocation during migration is overwritten. For debugging purposes, it might be however useful to know that the page has been migrated since its initial allocation. This might happen many times during the lifetime for different reasons and fully tracking this, especially with stacktraces would incur extra memory costs. As a compromise, store and print the migrate_reason of the last migration that occurred to the page. This is enough to distinguish compaction, numa balancing etc. Example page_owner entry after the patch: Page allocated via order 0, mask 0x24200ca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE) PFN 628753 type Movable Block 1228 type Movable Flags 0x1fffff80040030(dirty|lru|swapbacked) [<ffffffff811682c4>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x134/0x230 [<ffffffff811b6325>] alloc_pages_vma+0xb5/0x250 [<ffffffff81177491>] shmem_alloc_page+0x61/0x90 [<ffffffff8117a438>] shmem_getpage_gfp+0x678/0x960 [<ffffffff8117c2b9>] shmem_fallocate+0x329/0x440 [<ffffffff811de600>] vfs_fallocate+0x140/0x230 [<ffffffff811df434>] SyS_fallocate+0x44/0x70 [<ffffffff8158cc2e>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x71 Page has been migrated, last migrate reason: compaction Signed-off-by:

The page_owner mechanism stores gfp_flags of an allocation and stack trace that lead to it. During page migration, the original information is practically replaced by the allocation of free page as the migration target. Arguably this is less useful and might lead to all the page_owner info for migratable pages gradually converge towards compaction or numa balancing migrations. It has also lead to inaccuracies such as one fixed by commit e2cfc911 ("mm/page_owner: set correct gfp_mask on page_owner"). This patch thus introduces copying the page_owner info during migration. However, since the fact that the page has been migrated from its original place might be useful for debugging, the next patch will introduce a way to track that information as well. Signed-off-by:
