PF_MEMPOLICY is an unnecessary optimization for CONFIG_SLAB users. There's no significant performance degradation to checking current->mempolicy rather than current->flags & PF_MEMPOLICY in the allocation path, especially since this is considered unlikely().

slab_node() is actually a mempolicy function, so rename it to mempolicy_slab_node() to make it clearer that it used for processes with mempolicies. At the same time, cleanup its code by saving numa_mem_id() in a local variable (since we require a node with memory, not just any node) and remove an obsolete comment that assumes the mempolicy is actually passed into the function.

This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(), avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults. The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random, thus further comparison with other approaches were needed. There are two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and the latency of find_vma(). Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy caching schemes can be too high to consider. We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by up to 250%, for workloads with good locality. On the other hand, this simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality. Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations below 1%. The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost. Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence number. The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are flushed. Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the page number that contains the virtual address in question. Concretely, the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box: 1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to the cache. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 50.61% | 19.90 | | patched | 73.45% | 13.58 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current approach as we're dealing with good locality. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 75.28% | 11.03 | | patched | 88.09% | 9.31 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 3) Oracle 11g Data Mining (4k pages): Similar to the kernel build workload. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 70.66% | 17.14 | | patched | 91.15% | 12.57 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 4) Ebizzy: There's a fair amount of variation from run to run, but this approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just about non-existent. The amounts of cycles can fluctuate between anywhere from ~60 to ~116 for the baseline scheme, but this approach reduces it considerably. For instance, with 80 threads: +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 1.06% | 91.54 | | patched | 99.97% | 14.18 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix nommu build, per Davidlohr] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: document vmacache_valid() logic] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: attempt to untangle header files] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: add vmacache_find() BUG_ON] [hughd@google.com: add vmacache_valid_mm() (from Oleg)] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: adjust and enhance comments] Signed-off-by:

Here's new version of faultaround patchset. It took a while to tune it and collect performance data. First patch adds new callback ->map_pages to vm_operations_struct. ->map_pages() is called when VM asks to map easy accessible pages. Filesystem should find and map pages associated with offsets from "pgoff" till "max_pgoff". ->map_pages() is called with page table locked and must not block. If it's not possible to reach a page without blocking, filesystem should skip it. Filesystem should use do_set_pte() to setup page table entry. Pointer to entry associated with offset "pgoff" is passed in "pte" field in vm_fault structure. Pointers to entries for other offsets should be calculated relative to "pte". Currently VM use ->map_pages only on read page fault path. We try to map FAULT_AROUND_PAGES a time. FAULT_AROUND_PAGES is 16 for now. Performance data for different FAULT_AROUND_ORDER is below. TODO: - implement ->map_pages() for shmem/tmpfs; - modify get_user_pages() to be able to use ->map_pages() and implement mmap(MAP_POPULATE|MAP_NONBLOCK) on top. ========================================================================= Tested on 4-socket machine (120 threads) with 128GiB of RAM. Few real-world workloads. The sweet spot for FAULT_AROUND_ORDER here is somewhere between 3 and 5.

After this patch 'page-types' can walk over a file's mappings and analyze populated page cache pages mostly without disturbing its state. It maps chunk of file, marks VMA as MADV_RANDOM to turn off readahead, pokes VMA via mincore() to determine cached pages, triggers page-fault only for them, and finally gathers information via pagemap/kpageflags. Before unmap it marks VMA as MADV_SEQUENTIAL for ignoring reference bits. usage: page-types -f <path> If <path> is directory it will analyse all files in all subdirectories. Symlinks are not followed as well as mount points. Hardlinks aren't handled, they'll be dumped as many times as they are found. Recursive walk brings all dentries into dcache and populates page cache of block-devices aka 'Buffers'. Probably it's worth to add ioctl for dumping file page cache as array of PFNs as a replacement for this hackish juggling with mmap/madvise/mincore/pagemap. Also recursive walk could be replaced with dumping cached inodes via some ioctl or debugfs interface followed by openning them via open_by_handle_at, this would fix hardlinks handling and unneeded population of dcache and buffers. This interface might be used as data source for constructing readahead plans and for background optimizations of actively used files. collateral changes: + fix 64-bit LFS: define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS instead of _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE + replace lseek + read with single pread + make show_page_range() reusable after flush usage example: ~/src/linux/tools/vm$ sudo ./page-types -L -f page-types foffset offset flags page-types Inode: 2229277 Size: 89065 (22 pages) Modify: Tue Feb 25 12:00:59 2014 (162 seconds ago) Access: Tue Feb 25 12:01:00 2014 (161 seconds ago) 0 3cbf3b __RU_lA____M________________________ 1 38946a __RU_lA____M________________________ 2 1a3cec __RU_lA____M________________________ 3 1a8321 __RU_lA____M________________________ 4 3af7cc __RU_lA____M________________________ 5 1ed532 __RU_lA_____________________________ 6 2e436a __RU_lA_____________________________ 7 29a35e ___U_lA_____________________________ 8 2de86e ___U_lA_____________________________ 9 3bdfb4 ___U_lA_____________________________ 10 3cd8a3 ___U_lA_____________________________ 11 2afa50 ___U_lA_____________________________ 12 2534c2 ___U_lA_____________________________ 13 1b7a40 ___U_lA_____________________________ 14 17b0be ___U_lA_____________________________ 15 392b0c ___U_lA_____________________________ 16 3ba46a __RU_lA_____________________________ 17 397dc8 ___U_lA_____________________________ 18 1f2a36 ___U_lA_____________________________ 19 21fd30 __RU_lA_____________________________ 20 2c35ba __RU_l______________________________ 21 20f181 __RU_l______________________________ flags page-count MB symbolic-flags long-symbolic-flags 0x000000000000002c 2 0 __RU_l______________________________ referenced,uptodate,lru 0x0000000000000068 11 0 ___U_lA_____________________________ uptodate,lru,active 0x000000000000006c 4 0 __RU_lA_____________________________ referenced,uptodate,lru,active 0x000000000000086c 5 0 __RU_lA____M________________________ referenced,uptodate,lru,active,mmap total 22 0 ~/src/linux/tools/vm$ sudo ./page-types -f / flags page-count MB symbolic-flags long-symbolic-flags 0x0000000000000028 21761 85 ___U_l______________________________ uptodate,lru 0x000000000000002c 127279 497 __RU_l______________________________ referenced,uptodate,lru 0x0000000000000068 74160 289 ___U_lA_____________________________ uptodate,lru,active 0x000000000000006c 84469 329 __RU_lA_____________________________ referenced,uptodate,lru,active 0x000000000000007c 1 0 __RUDlA_____________________________ referenced,uptodate,dirty,lru,active 0x0000000000000228 370 1 ___U_l___I__________________________ uptodate,lru,reclaim 0x0000000000000828 49 0 ___U_l_____M________________________ uptodate,lru,mmap 0x000000000000082c 126 0 __RU_l_____M________________________ referenced,uptodate,lru,mmap 0x0000000000000868 137 0 ___U_lA____M________________________ uptodate,lru,active,mmap 0x000000000000086c 12890 50 __RU_lA____M________________________ referenced,uptodate,lru,active,mmap total 321242 1254 Signed-off-by:Konstantin Khlebnikov <koct9i@gmail.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Signed-off-by:

load_elf_binary() sets current->mm->def_flags = def_flags and def_flags is always zero. Not only this looks strange, this is unnecessary because mm_init() has already set ->def_flags = 0. Signed-off-by:

Add VM_INIT_DEF_MASK, to allow us to set the default flags for VMs. It also adds a prctl control which allows us to set the THP disable bit in mm->def_flags so that VMs will pick up the setting as they are created. Signed-off-by:

The main motivation behind this patch is to provide a way to disable THP for jobs where the code cannot be modified, and using a malloc hook with madvise is not an option (i.e. statically allocated data). This patch allows us to do just that, without affecting other jobs running on the system. We need to do this sort of thing for jobs where THP hurts performance, due to the possibility of increased remote memory accesses that can be created by situations such as the following: When you touch 1 byte of an untouched, contiguous 2MB chunk, a THP will be handed out, and the THP will be stuck on whatever node the chunk was originally referenced from. If many remote nodes need to do work on that same chunk, they'll be making remote accesses. With THP disabled, 4K pages can be handed out to separate nodes as they're needed, greatly reducing the amount of remote accesses to memory. This patch is based on some of my work combined with some suggestions/patches given by Oleg Nesterov. The main goal here is to add a prctl switch to allow us to disable to THP on a per mm_struct basis. Here's a bit of test data with the new patch in place... First with the flag unset: # perf stat -a ./prctl_wrapper_mmv3 0 ./thp_pthread -C 0 -m 0 -c 512 -b 256g Setting thp_disabled for this task... thp_disable: 0 Set thp_disabled state to 0 Process pid = 18027 PF/ MAX MIN TOTCPU/ TOT_PF/ TOT_PF/ WSEC/ TYPE: CPUS WALL WALL SYS USER TOTCPU CPU WALL_SEC SYS_SEC CPU NODES 512 1.120 0.060 0.000 0.110 0.110 0.000 28571428864 -9223372036854775808 55803572 23 Performance counter stats for './prctl_wrapper_mmv3_hack 0 ./thp_pthread -C 0 -m 0 -c 512 -b 256g': 273719072.841402 task-clock # 641.026 CPUs utilized [100.00%] 1,008,986 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec [100.00%] 7,717 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec [100.00%] 1,698,932 page-faults # 0.000 M/sec 355,222,544,890,379 cycles # 1.298 GHz [100.00%] 536,445,412,234,588 stalled-cycles-frontend # 151.02% frontend cycles idle [100.00%] 409,110,531,310,223 stalled-cycles-backend # 115.17% backend cycles idle [100.00%] 148,286,797,266,411 instructions # 0.42 insns per cycle # 3.62 stalled cycles per insn [100.00%] 27,061,793,159,503 branches # 98.867 M/sec [100.00%] 1,188,655,196 branch-misses # 0.00% of all branches 427.001706337 seconds time elapsed Now with the flag set: # perf stat -a ./prctl_wrapper_mmv3 1 ./thp_pthread -C 0 -m 0 -c 512 -b 256g Setting thp_disabled for this task... thp_disable: 1 Set thp_disabled state to 1 Process pid = 144957 PF/ MAX MIN TOTCPU/ TOT_PF/ TOT_PF/ WSEC/ TYPE: CPUS WALL WALL SYS USER TOTCPU CPU WALL_SEC SYS_SEC CPU NODES 512 0.620 0.260 0.250 0.320 0.570 0.001 51612901376 128000000000 100806448 23 Performance counter stats for './prctl_wrapper_mmv3_hack 1 ./thp_pthread -C 0 -m 0 -c 512 -b 256g': 138789390.540183 task-clock # 641.959 CPUs utilized [100.00%] 534,205 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec [100.00%] 4,595 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec [100.00%] 63,133,119 page-faults # 0.000 M/sec 147,977,747,269,768 cycles # 1.066 GHz [100.00%] 200,524,196,493,108 stalled-cycles-frontend # 135.51% frontend cycles idle [100.00%] 105,175,163,716,388 stalled-cycles-backend # 71.07% backend cycles idle [100.00%] 180,916,213,503,160 instructions # 1.22 insns per cycle # 1.11 stalled cycles per insn [100.00%] 26,999,511,005,868 branches # 194.536 M/sec [100.00%] 714,066,351 branch-misses # 0.00% of all branches 216.196778807 seconds time elapsed As with previous versions of the patch, We're getting about a 2x performance increase here.

The revert is necessary because hugepage_madvise would return -EINVAL when VM_NOHUGEPAGE is set, which will break subsequent chunks of this patch set. Here's a snip of an e-mail from Gerald detailing the original purpose of this code, and providing justification for the revert: "The intent of commit 8e72033f was to guard against any future programming errors that may result in an madvice(MADV_HUGEPAGE) on guest mappings, which would crash the kernel. Martin suggested adding the bit to arch/s390/mm/pgtable.c, if 8e72033f was to be reverted, because that check will also prevent a kernel crash in the case described above, it will now send a SIGSEGV instead. This would now also allow to do the madvise on other parts, if needed, so it is a more flexible approach. One could also say that it would have been better to do it this way right from the beginning..."

isolation_suitable() and migrate_async_suitable() is used to be sure that this pageblock range is fine to be migragted. It isn't needed to call it on every page. Current code do well if not suitable, but, don't do well when suitable. 1) It re-checks isolation_suitable() on each page of a pageblock that was already estabilished as suitable. 2) It re-checks migrate_async_suitable() on each page of a pageblock that was not entered through the next_pageblock: label, because last_pageblock_nr is not otherwise updated. This patch fixes situation by 1) calling isolation_suitable() only once per pageblock and 2) always updating last_pageblock_nr to the pageblock that was just checked. Additionally, move PageBuddy() check after pageblock unit check, since pageblock check is the first thing we should do and makes things more simple.

It is odd to drop the spinlock when we scan (SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX - 1) th pfn page. This may results in below situation while isolating migratepage. 1. try isolate 0x0 ~ 0x200 pfn pages. 2. When low_pfn is 0x1ff, ((low_pfn+1) % SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX) == 0, so drop the spinlock. 3. Then, to complete isolating, retry to aquire the lock. I think that it is better to use SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX th pfn for checking the criteria about dropping the lock. This has no harm 0x0 pfn, because, at this time, locked variable would be false.

suitable_migration_target() checks that pageblock is suitable for migration target. In isolate_freepages_block(), it is called on every page and this is inefficient. So make it called once per pageblock. suitable_migration_target() also checks if page is highorder or not, but it's criteria for highorder is pageblock order. So calling it once within pageblock range has no problem. Signed-off-by:

Purpose of compaction is to get a high order page. Currently, if we find high-order page while searching migration target page, we break it to order-0 pages and use them as migration target. It is contrary to purpose of compaction, so disallow high-order page to be used for migration target. Additionally, clean-up logic in suitable_migration_target() to simplify the code. There is no functional changes from this clean-up. Signed-off-by:

We had a report about strange OOM killer strikes on a PPC machine although there was a lot of swap free and a tons of anonymous memory which could be swapped out. In the end it turned out that the OOM was a side effect of zone reclaim which wasn't unmapping and swapping out and so the system was pushed to the OOM. Although this sounds like a bug somewhere in the kswapd vs. zone reclaim vs. direct reclaim interaction numactl on the said hardware suggests that the zone reclaim should not have been set in the first place: node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 node 0 size: 0 MB node 0 free: 0 MB node 2 cpus: node 2 size: 7168 MB node 2 free: 6019 MB node distances: node 0 2 0: 10 40 2: 40 10 So all the CPUs are associated with Node0 which doesn't have any memory while Node2 contains all the available memory. Node distances cause an automatic zone_reclaim_mode enabling. Zone reclaim is intended to keep the allocations local but this doesn't make any sense on the memoryless nodes. So let's exclude such nodes for init_zone_allows_reclaim which evaluates zone reclaim behavior and suitable reclaim_nodes. Signed-off-by:

We abort direct reclaim if we find the zone is ready for compaction. Sometimes the zone is just a promoted highmem zone to force a scan of highmem, which is not the intended zone the caller want to allocate a page from. In this situation, setting aborted_reclaim to indicate the caller turned back to retry the allocation is waste of time and could cause a loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath(). This patch does not check compaction_ready() on promoted zones to avoid the above situation. Only set aborted_reclaim if the caller intended zone is ready for compaction. Signed-off-by:

The NUMA scanning code can end up iterating over many gigabytes of unpopulated memory, especially in the case of a freshly started KVM guest with lots of memory. This results in the mmu notifier code being called even when there are no mapped pages in a virtual address range. The amount of time wasted can be enough to trigger soft lockup warnings with very large KVM guests. This patch moves the mmu notifier call to the pmd level, which represents 1GB areas of memory on x86-64. Furthermore, the mmu notifier code is only called from the address in the PMD where present mappings are first encountered. The hugetlbfs code is left alone for now; hugetlb mappings are not relocatable, and as such are left alone by the NUMA code, and should never trigger this problem to begin with. Signed-off-by:

The race existed without the patch but was just harder to hit. The problem is that a transhuge check is made without holding the PTL. It's possible at the time of the check that a parallel fault clears the pmd and inserts a new one which then triggers the VM_BUG_ON check. This patch removes the VM_BUG_ON but fixes the race by rechecking transhuge under the PTL when marking page tables for NUMA hinting and bailing if a race occurred. It is not a problem for calls to mprotect() as they hold mmap_sem for write. Signed-off-by:Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com> Reviewed-by:
