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.

Instead, this patch implements the page->mapping->a_ops-> {isolate|migrate|putback} functions.

We have allowed migration for only LRU pages until now and it was enough to make high-order pages. But recently, embedded system(e.g., webOS, android) uses lots of non-movable pages(e.g., zram, GPU memory) so we have seen several reports about troubles of small high-order allocation. For fixing the problem, there were several efforts (e,g,. enhance compaction algorithm, SLUB fallback to 0-order page, reserved memory, vmalloc and so on) but if there are lots of non-movable pages in system, their solutions are void in the long run. So, this patch is to support facility to change non-movable pages with movable. For the feature, this patch introduces functions related to migration to address_space_operations as well as some page flags. If a driver want to make own pages movable, it should define three functions which are function pointers of struct address_space_operations. 1. bool (*isolate_page) (struct page *page, isolate_mode_t mode); What VM expects on isolate_page function of driver is to return *true* if driver isolates page successfully. On returing true, VM marks the page as PG_isolated so concurrent isolation in several CPUs skip the page for isolation. If a driver cannot isolate the page, it should return *false*. Once page is successfully isolated, VM uses page.lru fields so driver shouldn't expect to preserve values in that fields. 2. int (*migratepage) (struct address_space *mapping, struct page *newpage, struct page *oldpage, enum migrate_mode); After isolation, VM calls migratepage of driver with isolated page. The function of migratepage is to move content of the old page to new page and set up fields of struct page newpage. Keep in mind that you should indicate to the VM the oldpage is no longer movable via __ClearPageMovable() under page_lock if you migrated the oldpage successfully and returns 0. If driver cannot migrate the page at the moment, driver can return -EAGAIN. On -EAGAIN, VM will retry page migration in a short time because VM interprets -EAGAIN as "temporal migration failure". On returning any error except -EAGAIN, VM will give up the page migration without retrying in this time. Driver shouldn't touch page.lru field VM using in the functions. 3. void (*putback_page)(struct page *); If migration fails on isolated page, VM should return the isolated page to the driver so VM calls driver's putback_page with migration failed page. In this function, driver should put the isolated page back to the own data structure. 4. non-lru movable page flags There are two page flags for supporting non-lru movable page. * PG_movable Driver should use the below function to make page movable under page_lock. void __SetPageMovable(struct page *page, struct address_space *mapping) It needs argument of address_space for registering migration family functions which will be called by VM. Exactly speaking, PG_movable is not a real flag of struct page. Rather than, VM reuses page->mapping's lower bits to represent it. #define PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE 0x2 page->mapping = page->mapping | PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE; so driver shouldn't access page->mapping directly. Instead, driver should use page_mapping which mask off the low two bits of page->mapping so it can get right struct address_space. For testing of non-lru movable page, VM supports __PageMovable function. However, it doesn't guarantee to identify non-lru movable page because page->mapping field is unified with other variables in struct page. As well, if driver releases the page after isolation by VM, page->mapping doesn't have stable value although it has PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE (Look at __ClearPageMovable). But __PageMovable is cheap to catch whether page is LRU or non-lru movable once the page has been isolated. Because LRU pages never can have PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE in page->mapping. It is also good for just peeking to test non-lru movable pages before more expensive checking with lock_page in pfn scanning to select victim. For guaranteeing non-lru movable page, VM provides PageMovable function. Unlike __PageMovable, PageMovable functions validates page->mapping and mapping->a_ops->isolate_page under lock_page. The lock_page prevents sudden destroying of page->mapping. Driver using __SetPageMovable should clear the flag via __ClearMovablePage under page_lock before the releasing the page. * PG_isolated To prevent concurrent isolation among several CPUs, VM marks isolated page as PG_isolated under lock_page. So if a CPU encounters PG_isolated non-lru movable page, it can skip it. Driver doesn't need to manipulate the flag because VM will set/clear it automatically. Keep in mind that if driver sees PG_isolated page, it means the page have been isolated by VM so it shouldn't touch page.lru field. PG_isolated is alias with PG_reclaim flag so driver shouldn't use the flag for own purpose.

Recently, I got many reports about perfermance degradation in embedded system(Android mobile phone, webOS TV and so on) and easy fork fail. The problem was fragmentation caused by zram and GPU driver mainly. With memory pressure, their pages were spread out all of pageblock and it cannot be migrated with current compaction algorithm which supports only LRU pages. In the end, compaction cannot work well so reclaimer shrinks all of working set pages. It made system very slow and even to fail to fork easily which requires order-[2 or 3] allocations. Other pain point is that they cannot use CMA memory space so when OOM kill happens, I can see many free pages in CMA area, which is not memory efficient. In our product which has big CMA memory, it reclaims zones too exccessively to allocate GPU and zram page although there are lots of free space in CMA so system becomes very slow easily. To solve these problem, this patch tries to add facility to migrate non-lru pages via introducing new functions and page flags to help migration. struct address_space_operations { .. .. bool (*isolate_page)(struct page *, isolate_mode_t); void (*putback_page)(struct page *); .. } new page flags PG_movable PG_isolated For details, please read description in "mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page migration". Originally, Gioh Kim had tried to support this feature but he moved so I took over the work. I took many code from his work and changed a little bit and Konstantin Khlebnikov helped Gioh a lot so he should deserve to have many credit, too. And I should mention Chulmin who have tested this patchset heavily so I can find many bugs from him. :) Thanks, Gioh, Konstantin and Chulmin! This patchset consists of five parts. 1. clean up migration mm: use put_page to free page instead of putback_lru_page 2. add non-lru page migration feature mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page migration 3. rework KVM memory-ballooning mm: balloon: use general non-lru movable page feature 4. zsmalloc refactoring for preparing page migration zsmalloc: keep max_object in size_class zsmalloc: use bit_spin_lock zsmalloc: use accessor zsmalloc: factor page chain functionality out zsmalloc: introduce zspage structure zsmalloc: separate free_zspage from putback_zspage zsmalloc: use freeobj for index 5. zsmalloc page migration zsmalloc: page migration support zram: use __GFP_MOVABLE for memory allocation This patch (of 12): Procedure of page migration is as follows: First of all, it should isolate a page from LRU and try to migrate the page. If it is successful, it releases the page for freeing. Otherwise, it should put the page back to LRU list. For LRU pages, we have used putback_lru_page for both freeing and putback to LRU list. It's okay because put_page is aware of LRU list so if it releases last refcount of the page, it removes the page from LRU list. However, It makes unnecessary operations (e.g., lru_cache_add, pagevec and flags operations. It would be not significant but no worth to do) and harder to support new non-lru page migration because put_page isn't aware of non-lru page's data structure. To solve the problem, we can add new hook in put_page with PageMovable flags check but it can increase overhead in hot path and needs new locking scheme to stabilize the flag check with put_page. So, this patch cleans it up to divide two semantic(ie, put and putback). If migration is successful, use put_page instead of putback_lru_page and use putback_lru_page only on failure. That makes code more readable and doesn't add overhead in put_page. Comment from Vlastimil "Yeah, and compaction (perhaps also other migration users) has to drain the lru pvec... Getting rid of this stuff is worth even by itself." Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1464736881-24886-2-git-send-email-minchan@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: -

There is no way to get a string with all the crypto comp algorithms supported by the crypto comp engine, so we need to maintain our own backends list. At the same time we additionally need to use crypto_has_comp() to make sure that the user has requested a compression algorithm that is recognized by the crypto comp engine. Relying on /proc/crypto is not an options here, because it does not show not-yet-inserted compression modules. Example: modprobe zram cat /proc/crypto | grep -i lz4 modprobe lz4 cat /proc/crypto | grep -i lz4 name : lz4 driver : lz4-generic module : lz4 So the user can't tell exactly if the lz4 is really supported from /proc/crypto output, unless someone or something has loaded it. This patch also adds crypto_has_comp() to zcomp_available_show(). We store all the compression algorithms names in zcomp's `backends' array, regardless the CONFIG_CRYPTO_FOO configuration, but show only those that are also supported by crypto engine. This helps user to know the exact list of compression algorithms that can be used. Example: module lz4 is not loaded yet, but is supported by the crypto engine. /proc/crypto has no information on this module, while zram's `comp_algorithm' lists it: cat /proc/crypto | grep -i lz4 cat /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm [lzo] lz4 deflate lz4hc 842 We still use the `backends' array to determine if the requested compression backend is known to crypto api. This array, however, may not contain some entries, therefore as the last step we call crypto_has_comp() function which attempts to insmod the requested compression algorithm to determine if crypto api supports it. The advantage of this method is that now we permit the usage of out-of-tree crypto compression modules (implementing S/W or H/W compression).

We don't have an idle zstreams list anymore and our write path now works absolutely differently, preventing preemption during compression. This removes possibilities of read paths preempting writes at wrong places (which could badly affect the performance of both paths) and at the same time opens the door for a move from custom LZO/LZ4 compression backends implementation to a more generic one, using crypto compress API. Joonsoo Kim [1] attempted to do this a while ago, but faced with the need of introducing a new crypto API interface. The root cause was the fact that crypto API compression algorithms require a compression stream structure (in zram terminology) for both compression and decompression ops, while in reality only several of compression algorithms really need it. This resulted in a concept of context-less crypto API compression backends [2]. Both write and read paths, though, would have been executed with the preemption enabled, which in the worst case could have resulted in a decreased worst-case performance, e.g. consider the following case: CPU0 zram_write() spin_lock() take the last idle stream spin_unlock() << preempted >> zram_read() spin_lock() no idle streams spin_unlock() schedule() resuming zram_write compression() but it took me some time to realize that, and it took even longer to evolve zram and to make it ready for crypto API. The key turned out to be -- drop the idle streams list entirely. Without the idle streams list we are free to use compression algorithms that require compression stream for decompression (read), because streams are now placed in per-cpu data and each write path has to disable preemption for compression op, almost completely eliminating the aforementioned case (technically, we still have a small chance, because write path has a fast and a slow paths and the slow path is executed with the preemption enabled; but the frequency of failed fast path is too low).

This has started as a 'add zlib support' work, but after some thinking I saw no blockers for a bigger change -- a switch to crypto API. We don't have an idle zstreams list anymore and our write path now works absolutely differently, preventing preemption during compression. This removes possibilities of read paths preempting writes at wrong places and opens the door for a move from custom LZO/LZ4 compression backends implementation to a more generic one, using crypto compress API. This patch set also eliminates the need of a new context-less crypto API interface, which was quite hard to sell, so we can move along faster. benchmarks: (x86_64, 4GB, zram-perf script) perf reported run-time fio (max jobs=3). I performed fio test with the increasing number of parallel jobs (max to 3) on a 3G zram device, using `static' data and the following crypto comp algorithms: 842, deflate, lz4, lz4hc, lzo the output was: - test running time (which can tell us what algorithms performs faster) and - zram mm_stat (which tells the compressed memory size, max used memory, etc). It's just for information. for example, LZ4HC has twice the running time of LZO, but the compressed memory size is: 23592960 vs 34603008 bytes. test-fio-zram-842 197.907655282 seconds time elapsed 201.623142884 seconds time elapsed 226.854291345 seconds time elapsed test-fio-zram-DEFLATE 253.259516155 seconds time elapsed 258.148563401 seconds time elapsed 290.251909365 seconds time elapsed test-fio-zram-LZ4 27.022598717 seconds time elapsed 29.580522717 seconds time elapsed 33.293463430 seconds time elapsed test-fio-zram-LZ4HC 56.393954615 seconds time elapsed 74.904659747 seconds time elapsed 101.940998564 seconds time elapsed test-fio-zram-LZO 28.155948075 seconds time elapsed 30.390036330 seconds time elapsed 34.455773159 seconds time elapsed zram mm_stat-s (max fio jobs=3) test-fio-zram-842 mm_stat (jobs1): 3221225472 673185792 690266112 0 690266112 0 0 mm_stat (jobs2): 3221225472 673185792 690266112 0 690266112 0 0 mm_stat (jobs3): 3221225472 673185792 690266112 0 690266112 0 0 test-fio-zram-DEFLATE mm_stat (jobs1): 3221225472 24379392 37761024 0 37761024 0 0 mm_stat (jobs2): 3221225472 24379392 37761024 0 37761024 0 0 mm_stat (jobs3): 3221225472 24379392 37761024 0 37761024 0 0 test-fio-zram-LZ4 mm_stat (jobs1): 3221225472 23592960 37761024 0 37761024 0 0 mm_stat (jobs2): 3221225472 23592960 37761024 0 37761024 0 0 mm_stat (jobs3): 3221225472 23592960 37761024 0 37761024 0 0 test-fio-zram-LZ4HC mm_stat (jobs1): 3221225472 23592960 37761024 0 37761024 0 0 mm_stat (jobs2): 3221225472 23592960 37761024 0 37761024 0 0 mm_stat (jobs3): 3221225472 23592960 37761024 0 37761024 0 0 test-fio-zram-LZO mm_stat (jobs1): 3221225472 34603008 50335744 0 50335744 0 0 mm_stat (jobs2): 3221225472 34603008 50335744 0 50335744 0 0 mm_stat (jobs3): 3221225472 34603008 50335744 0 50339840 0 0 This patch (of 8): We don't perform any zstream idle list lookup anymore, so zcomp_strm_find()/zcomp_strm_release() names are not representative.

When memory is onlined, we are only able to rezone from ZONE_MOVABLE to ZONE_KERNEL, or from (ZONE_MOVABLE - 1) to ZONE_MOVABLE. To be more flexible, use the following criteria instead; to online memory from zone X into zone Y, * Any zones between X and Y must be unused. * If X is lower than Y, the onlined memory must lie at the end of X. * If X is higher than Y, the onlined memory must lie at the start of X. Add zone_can_shift() to make this determination. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1462816419-4479-3-git-send-email-arbab@linux.vnet.ibm.comSigned-off-by:

As a part of memory initialisation the architecture passes an array to free_area_init_nodes() which specifies the max PFN of each memory zone. This array is not necessarily monotonic (due to unused zones) so this array is parsed to build monotonic lists of the min and max PFN for each zone. ZONE_MOVABLE is special cased here as its limits are managed by the mm subsystem rather than the architecture. Unfortunately, this special casing is broken when ZONE_MOVABLE is the not the last zone in the zone list. The core of the issue is: if (i == ZONE_MOVABLE) continue; arch_zone_lowest_possible_pfn[i] = arch_zone_highest_possible_pfn[i-1]; As ZONE_MOVABLE is skipped the lowest_possible_pfn of the next zone will be set to zero. This patch fixes this bug by adding explicitly tracking where the next zone should start rather than relying on the contents arch_zone_highest_possible_pfn[]. Thie is low priority. To get bitten by this you need to enable a zone that appears after ZONE_MOVABLE in the zone_type enum. As far as I can tell this means running a kernel with ZONE_DEVICE or ZONE_CMA enabled, so I can't see this affecting too many people. I only noticed this because I've been fiddling with ZONE_DEVICE on powerpc and 4.6 broke my test kernel. This bug, in conjunction with the changes in Taku Izumi's kernelcore=mirror patch (d91749c1) and powerpc being the odd architecture which initialises max_zone_pfn[] to ~0ul instead of 0 caused all of system memory to be placed into ZONE_DEVICE at boot, followed a panic since device memory cannot be used for kernel allocations. I've already submitted a patch to fix the powerpc specific bits, but I figured this should be fixed too.

It seems like this parameter has never been used since being introduced by 90254a65 ("memcg: clean up move charge"). Not a big deal because I assume the function would get inlined into the caller anyway but why not get rid of it.

Both SLAB and SLUB BUG() when a caller provides an invalid gfp_mask. This is a rather harsh way to announce a non-critical issue. Allocator is free to ignore invalid flags. Let's simply replace BUG() by dump_stack to tell the offender and fixup the mask to move on with the allocation request. This is an example for kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGHMEM) from a test module: Unexpected gfp: 0x2 (__GFP_HIGHMEM). Fixing up to gfp: 0x24000c0 (GFP_KERNEL). Fix your code!

Implements freelist randomization for the SLUB allocator. It was previous implemented for the SLAB allocator. Both use the same configuration option (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM). The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages. The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist. This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLUB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable. For example these attacks exploit the predictability of the heap: - Linux Kernel CAN SLUB overflow (https://goo.gl/oMNWkU) - Exploiting Linux Kernel Heap corruptions (http://goo.gl/EXLn95) Performance results: slab_test impact is between 3% to 4% on average for 100000 attempts without smp. It is a very focused testing, kernbench show the overall impact on the system is way lower. Before: Single thread testing ===================== 1.

The kernel heap allocators are using a sequential freelist making their allocation predictable. This predictability makes kernel heap overflow easier to exploit. An attacker can careful prepare the kernel heap to control the following chunk overflowed. For example these attacks exploit the predictability of the heap: - Linux Kernel CAN SLUB overflow (https://goo.gl/oMNWkU) - Exploiting Linux Kernel Heap corruptions (http://goo.gl/EXLn95) ***Problems that needed solving: - Randomize the Freelist (singled linked) used in the SLUB allocator. - Ensure good performance to encourage usage. - Get best entropy in early boot stage. ***Parts: - 01/02 Reorganize the SLAB Freelist randomization to share elements with the SLUB implementation. - 02/02 The SLUB Freelist randomization implementation. Similar approach than the SLAB but tailored to the singled freelist used in SLUB. ***Performance data: slab_test impact is between 3% to 4% on average for 100000 attempts without smp.

The per-sb inode writeback list tracks inodes currently under writeback to facilitate efficient sync processing. In particular, it ensures that sync only needs to walk through a list of inodes that were cleaned by the sync. Add a couple tracepoints to help identify when inodes are added/removed to and from the writeback lists. Piggyback off of the writeback lazytime tracepoint template as it already tracks the relevant inode information.
