Currently khugepaged makes swapin readahead under down_write. This patch supplies to make swapin readahead under down_read instead of down_write. The patch was tested with a test program that allocates 800MB of memory, writes to it, and then sleeps. The system was forced to swap out all. Afterwards, the test program touches the area by writing, it skips a page in each 20 pages of the area.

This patch makes swapin readahead to improve thp collapse rate. When khugepaged scanned pages, there can be a few of the pages in swap area. With the patch THP can collapse 4kB pages into a THP when there are up to max_ptes_swap swap ptes in a 2MB range. The patch was tested with a test program that allocates 400B of memory, writes to it, and then sleeps. I force the system to swap out all. Afterwards, the test program touches the area by writing, it skips a page in each 20 pages of the area. Without the patch, system did not swap in readahead. THP rate was %65 of the program of the memory, it did not change over time. With this patch, after 10 minutes of waiting khugepaged had collapsed %99 of the program's memory.

Vladimir has noticed that we might declare memcg oom even during readahead because read_pages only uses GFP_KERNEL (with mapping_gfp restriction) while __do_page_cache_readahead uses page_cache_alloc_readahead which adds __GFP_NORETRY to prevent from OOMs. This gfp mask discrepancy is really unfortunate and easily fixable. Drop page_cache_alloc_readahead() which only has one user and outsource the gfp_mask logic into readahead_gfp_mask and propagate this mask from __do_page_cache_readahead down to read_pages. This alone would have only very limited impact as most filesystems are implementing ->readpages and the common implementation mpage_readpages does GFP_KERNEL (with mapping_gfp restriction) again. We can tell it to use readahead_gfp_mask instead as this function is called only during readahead as well. The same applies to read_cache_pages. ext4 has its own ext4_mpage_readpages but the path which has pages != NULL can use the same gfp mask. Btrfs, cifs, f2fs and orangefs are doing a very similar pattern to mpage_readpages so the same can be applied to them as well.

Tetsuo is worried that mmput_async might still lead to a premature new oom victim selection due to the following race: __oom_reap_task exit_mm find_lock_task_mm atomic_inc(mm->mm_users) # = 2 task_unlock task_lock task->mm = NULL up_read(&mm->mmap_sem) < somebody write locks mmap_sem > task_unlock mmput atomic_dec_and_test # = 1 exit_oom_victim down_read_trylock # failed - no reclaim mmput_async # Takes unpredictable amount of time < new OOM situation > the final __mmput will be executed in the delayed context which might happen far in the future. Such a race is highly unlikely because the write holder of mmap_sem would have to be an external task (all direct holders are already killed or exiting) and it usually have to pin mm_users in order to do anything reasonable. We can, however, make sure that the mmput_async is only called when we do not back off and reap some memory. That would reduce the impact of the delayed __mmput because the real content would be already freed. Pin mm_count to keep it alive after we drop task_lock and before we try to get mmap_sem. If the mmap_sem succeeds we can try to grab mm_users reference and then go on with unmapping the address space. It is not clear whether this race is possible at all but it is better to be more robust and do not pin mm_users unless we are sure we are actually doing some real work during __oom_reap_task.

Correct the function parameters alignment, since original code already use both tabs and white spaces together for the incorrect parameters alignment functions. If one line can hold one statement within 80 columns, let it in one line (original code did not consider about the tabs/spaces for 2nd line when a statement is separated into 2 lines). Try to let '' aligned within one macro, since all related lines are short enough. Remove useless statement "idx = 0;", and always assign rgn within the 'for' statement.

zram is very popular for some of the embedded world (e.g., TV, mobile phones). On those system, zsmalloc's consumed memory size is never trivial (one of example from real product system, total memory: 800M, zsmalloc consumed: 150M), so we have used this out of tree patch to monitor system memory behavior via /proc/vmstat. With zsmalloc in vmstat, it helps in tracking down system behavior due to memory usage.

I have noticed that frontswap.h first declares "frontswap_enabled" as extern bool variable, and then overrides it with "#define frontswap_enabled (1)" for CONFIG_FRONTSWAP=Y or (0) when disabled. The bool variable isn't actually instantiated anywhere. This all looks like an unfinished attempt to make frontswap_enabled reflect whether a backend is instantiated. But in the current state, all frontswap hooks call unconditionally into frontswap.c just to check if frontswap_ops is non-NULL. This should at least be checked inline, but we can further eliminate the overhead when CONFIG_FRONTSWAP is enabled and no backend registered, using a static key that is initially disabled, and gets enabled only upon first backend registration. Thus, checks for "frontswap_enabled" are replaced with "frontswap_enabled()" wrapping the static key check. There are two exceptions: - xen's selfballoon_process() was testing frontswap_enabled in code guarded by #ifdef CONFIG_FRONTSWAP, which was effectively always true when reachable. The patch just removes this check. Using frontswap_enabled() does not sound correct here, as this can be true even without xen's own backend being registered. - in SYSCALL_DEFINE2(swapon), change the check to IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FRONTSWAP) as it seems the bitmap allocation cannot currently be postponed until a backend is registered. This means that frontswap will still have some memory overhead by being configured, but without a backend. After the patch, we can expect that some functions in frontswap.c are called only when frontswap_ops is non-NULL. Change the checks there to VM_BUG_ONs. While at it, convert other BUG_ONs to VM_BUG_ONs as frontswap has been stable for some time.

Unix sockets can consume a significant amount of system memory, hence they should be accounted to kmemcg. Since unix socket buffers are always allocated from process context, all we need to do to charge them to kmemcg is set __GFP_ACCOUNT in sock->sk_allocation mask. Eric asked: > 1) What happens when a buffer, allocated from socket <A> lands in a > different socket <B>, maybe owned by another user/process. > > Who owns it now, in term of kmemcg accounting ? We never move memcg charges. E.g. if two processes from different cgroups are sharing a memory region, each page will be charged to the process which touched it first. Or if two processes are working with the same directory tree, inodes and dentries will be charged to the first user. The same is fair for unix socket buffers - they will be charged to the sender. > 2) Has performance impact been evaluated ? I ran netperf STREAM_STREAM with default options in a kmemcg on a 4 core x2 HT box. The results are below: # clients bandwidth (10^6bits/sec) base patched 1 67643 +- 725 64874 +- 353 - 4.0 % 4 193585 +- 2516 186715 +- 1460 - 3.5 % 8 194820 +- 377 187443 +- 1229 - 3.7 % So the accounting doesn't come for free - it takes ~4% of performance. I believe we could optimize it by using per cpu batching not only on charge, but also on uncharge in memcg core, but that's beyond the scope of this patch set - I'll take a look at this later. Anyway, if performance impact is found to be unacceptable, it is always possible to disable kmem accounting at boot time (cgroup.memory=nokmem) or not use memory cgroups at runtime at all (thanks to jump labels there'll be no overhead even if they are compiled in).

Pipes can consume a significant amount of system memory, hence they should be accounted to kmemcg. This patch marks pipe_inode_info and anonymous pipe buffer page allocations as __GFP_ACCOUNT so that they would be charged to kmemcg. Note, since a pipe buffer page can be "stolen" and get reused for other purposes, including mapping to userspace, we clear PageKmemcg thus resetting page->_mapcount and uncharge it in anon_pipe_buf_steal, which is introduced by this patch. A note regarding anon_pipe_buf_steal implementation. We allow to steal the page if its ref count equals 1. It looks racy, but it is correct for anonymous pipe buffer pages, because: - We lock out all other pipe users, because ->steal is called with pipe_lock held, so the page can't be spliced to another pipe from under us. - The page is not on LRU and it never was. - Thus a parallel thread can access it only by PFN. Although this is quite possible (e.g. see page_idle_get_page and balloon_page_isolate) this is not dangerous, because all such functions do is increase page ref count, check if the page is the one they are looking for, and decrease ref count if it isn't. Since our page is clean except for PageKmemcg mark, which doesn't conflict with other _mapcount users, the worst that can happen is we see page_count > 2 due to a transient ref, in which case we false-positively abort ->steal, which is still fine, because ->steal is not guaranteed to succeed.

Page tables can bite a relatively big chunk off system memory and their allocations are easy to trigger from userspace, so they should be accounted to kmemcg. This patch marks page table allocations as __GFP_ACCOUNT for x86. Note we must not charge allocations of kernel page tables, because they can be shared among processes from different cgroups so accounting them to a particular one can pin other cgroups for indefinitely long. So we clear __GFP_ACCOUNT flag if a page table is allocated for the kernel. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/7d5c54f6a2bcbe76f03171689440003d87e6c742.1464079538.git.vdavydov@virtuozzo.comSigned-off-by:

Currently, to charge a non-slab allocation to kmemcg one has to use alloc_kmem_pages helper with __GFP_ACCOUNT flag. A page allocated with this helper should finally be freed using free_kmem_pages, otherwise it won't be uncharged. This API suits its current users fine, but it turns out to be impossible to use along with page reference counting, i.e. when an allocation is supposed to be freed with put_page, as it is the case with pipe or unix socket buffers. To overcome this limitation, this patch moves charging/uncharging to generic page allocator paths, i.e. to __alloc_pages_nodemask and free_pages_prepare, and zaps alloc/free_kmem_pages helpers. This way, one can use any of the available page allocation functions to get the allocated page charged to kmemcg - it's enough to pass __GFP_ACCOUNT, just like in case of kmalloc and friends. A charged page will be automatically uncharged on free. To make it possible, we need to mark pages charged to kmemcg somehow. To avoid introducing a new page flag, we make use of page->_mapcount for marking such pages. Since pages charged to kmemcg are not supposed to be mapped to userspace, it should work just fine. There are other (ab)users of page->_mapcount - buddy and balloon pages - but we don't conflict with them. In case kmemcg is compiled out or not used at runtime, this patch introduces no overhead to generic page allocator paths. If kmemcg is used, it will be plus one gfp flags check on alloc and plus one page->_mapcount check on free, which shouldn't hurt performance, because the data accessed are hot.

This updates the generic and arch specific implementation to return true if we need to do a tlb flush. That means if a __tlb_remove_page indicate a flush is needed, the page we try to remove need to be tracked and added again after the flush. We need to track it because we have already update the pte to none and we can't just loop back. This change is done to enable us to do a tlb_flush when we try to flush a range that consists of different page sizes. For architectures like ppc64, we can do a range based tlb flush and we need to track page size for that. When we try to remove a huge page, we will force a tlb flush and starts a new mmu gather.

For hugetlb like THP (and unlike regular page), we do tlb flush after dropping ptl. Because of the above, we don't need to track force_flush like we do now. Instead we can simply call tlb_remove_page() which will do the flush if needed. No functionality change in this patch.

This patch is motivated from Hugh and Vlastimil's concern [1]. There are two ways to get freepage from the allocator. One is using normal memory allocation API and the other is __isolate_free_page() which is internally used for compaction and pageblock isolation. Later usage is rather tricky since it doesn't do whole post allocation processing done by normal API. One problematic thing I already know is that poisoned page would not be checked if it is allocated by __isolate_free_page(). Perhaps, there would be more. We could add more debug logic for allocated page in the future and this separation would cause more problem. I'd like to fix this situation at this time. Solution is simple. This patch commonize some logic for newly allocated page and uses it on all sites. This will solve the problem.

Currently, we store each page's allocation stacktrace on corresponding page_ext structure and it requires a lot of memory. This causes the problem that memory tight system doesn't work well if page_owner is enabled. Moreover, even with this large memory consumption, we cannot get full stacktrace because we allocate memory at boot time and just maintain 8 stacktrace slots to balance memory consumption. We could increase it to more but it would make system unusable or change system behaviour. To solve the problem, this patch uses stackdepot to store stacktrace. It obviously provides memory saving but there is a drawback that stackdepot could fail. stackdepot allocates memory at runtime so it could fail if system has not enough memory. But, most of allocation stack are generated at very early time and there are much memory at this time. So, failure would not happen easily. And, one failure means that we miss just one page's allocation stacktrace so it would not be a big problem. In this patch, when memory allocation failure happens, we store special stracktrace handle to the page that is failed to save stacktrace. With it, user can guess memory usage properly even if failure happens. Memory saving looks as following. (4GB memory system with page_owner) (before the patch -> after the patch) static allocation: 92274688 bytes -> 25165824 bytes dynamic allocation after boot + kernel build: 0 bytes -> 327680 bytes total: 92274688 bytes -> 25493504 bytes 72% reduction in total. Note that implementation looks complex than someone would imagine because there is recursion issue. stackdepot uses page allocator and page_owner is called at page allocation. Using stackdepot in page_owner could re-call page allcator and then page_owner. That is a recursion. To detect and avoid it, whenever we obtain stacktrace, recursion is checked and page_owner is set to dummy information if found. Dummy information means that this page is allocated for page_owner feature itself (such as stackdepot) and it's understandable behavior for user.

split_page() calls set_page_owner() to set up page_owner to each pages. But, it has a drawback that head page and the others have different stacktrace because callsite of set_page_owner() is slightly differnt. To avoid this problem, this patch copies head page's page_owner to the others. It needs to introduce new function, split_page_owner() but it also remove the other function, get_page_owner_gfp() so looks good to do.

Currently, copy_page_owner() doesn't copy all the owner information. It skips last_migrate_reason because copy_page_owner() is used for migration and it will be properly set soon. But, following patch will use copy_page_owner() and this skip will cause the problem that allocated page has uninitialied last_migrate_reason. To prevent it, this patch also copy last_migrate_reason in copy_page_owner(). Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1464230275-25791-3-git-send-email-iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.comSigned-off-by:

It's not necessary to initialized page_owner with holding the zone lock. It would cause more contention on the zone lock although it's not a big problem since it is just debug feature. But, it is better than before so do it. This is also preparation step to use stackdepot in page owner feature. Stackdepot allocates new pages when there is no reserved space and holding the zone lock in this case will cause deadlock.

Zsmalloc is ready for page migration so zram can use __GFP_MOVABLE from now on. I did test to see how it helps to make higher order pages. Test scenario is as follows.

This patch introduces run-time migration feature for zspage. For migration, VM uses page.lru field so it would be better to not use page.next field which is unified with page.lru for own purpose. For that, firstly, we can get first object offset of the page via runtime calculation instead of using page.index so we can use page.index as link for page chaining instead of page.next. In case of huge object, it stores handle to page.index instead of next link of page chaining because huge object doesn't need to next link for page chaining. So get_next_page need to identify huge object to return NULL. For it, this patch uses PG_owner_priv_1 flag of the page flag. For migration, it supports three functions * zs_page_isolate It isolates a zspage which includes a subpage VM want to migrate from class so anyone cannot allocate new object from the zspage. We could try to isolate a zspage by the number of subpage so subsequent isolation trial of other subpage of the zpsage shouldn't fail. For that, we introduce zspage.isolated count. With that, zs_page_isolate can know whether zspage is already isolated or not for migration so if it is isolated for migration, subsequent isolation trial can be successful without trying further isolation. * zs_page_migrate First of all, it holds write-side zspage->lock to prevent migrate other subpage in zspage. Then, lock all objects in the page VM want to migrate. The reason we should lock all objects in the page is due to race between zs_map_object and zs_page_migrate. zs_map_object zs_page_migrate pin_tag(handle) obj = handle_to_obj(handle) obj_to_location(obj, &page, &obj_idx); write_lock(&zspage->lock) if (!trypin_tag(handle)) goto unpin_object zspage = get_zspage(page); read_lock(&zspage->lock); If zs_page_migrate doesn't do trypin_tag, zs_map_object's page can be stale by migration so it goes crash. If it locks all of objects successfully, it copies content from old page to new one, finally, create new zspage chain with new page. And if it's last isolated subpage in the zspage, put the zspage back to class. * zs_page_putback It returns isolated zspage to right fullness_group list if it fails to migrate a page. If it find a zspage is ZS_EMPTY, it queues zspage freeing to workqueue. See below about async zspage freeing. This patch introduces asynchronous zspage free. The reason to need it is we need page_lock to clear PG_movable but unfortunately, zs_free path should be atomic so the apporach is try to grab page_lock. If it got page_lock of all of pages successfully, it can free zspage immediately. Otherwise, it queues free request and free zspage via workqueue in process context. If zs_free finds the zspage is isolated when it try to free zspage, it delays the freeing until zs_page_putback finds it so it will free free the zspage finally. In this patch, we expand fullness_list from ZS_EMPTY to ZS_FULL. First of all, it will use ZS_EMPTY list for delay freeing. And with adding ZS_FULL list, it makes to identify whether zspage is isolated or not via list_empty(&zspage->list) test.

Zsmalloc stores first free object's <PFN, obj_idx> position into freeobj in each zspage. If we change it with index from first_page instead of position, it makes page migration simple because we don't need to correct other entries for linked list if a page is migrated out.

Currently, putback_zspage does free zspage under class->lock if fullness become ZS_EMPTY but it makes trouble to implement locking scheme for new zspage migration. So, this patch is to separate free_zspage from putback_zspage and free zspage out of class->lock which is preparation for zspage migration.

We have squeezed meta data of zspage into first page's descriptor. So, to get meta data from subpage, we should get first page first of all. But it makes trouble to implment page migration feature of zsmalloc because any place where to get first page from subpage can be raced with first page migration. IOW, first page it got could be stale. For preventing it, I have tried several approahces but it made code complicated so finally, I concluded to separate metadata from first page. Of course, it consumes more memory. IOW, 16bytes per zspage on 32bit at the moment. It means we lost 1% at *worst case*(40B/4096B) which is not bad I think at the cost of maintenance.
