2022-08-02mm: Convert all PageMovable users to movable_operationsMatthew Wilcox (Oracle)1-58/+3
These drivers are rather uncomfortably hammered into the address_space_operations hole. They aren't filesystems and don't behave like filesystems. They just need their own movable_operations structure, which we can point to directly from page->mapping. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org>
2022-07-03mm: shrinkers: provide shrinkers with namesRoman Gushchin1-1/+1
Currently shrinkers are anonymous objects. For debugging purposes they can be identified by count/scan function names, but it's not always useful: e.g. for superblock's shrinkers it's nice to have at least an idea of to which superblock the shrinker belongs. This commit adds names to shrinkers. register_shrinker() and prealloc_shrinker() functions are extended to take a format and arguments to master a name. In some cases it's not possible to determine a good name at the time when a shrinker is allocated. For such cases shrinker_debugfs_rename() is provided. The expected format is: <subsystem>-<shrinker_type>[:<instance>]-<id> For some shrinkers an instance can be encoded as (MAJOR:MINOR) pair. After this change the shrinker debugfs directory looks like: $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/shrinker/ $ ls dquota-cache-16 sb-devpts-28 sb-proc-47 sb-tmpfs-42 mm-shadow-18 sb-devtmpfs-5 sb-proc-48 sb-tmpfs-43 mm-zspool:zram0-34 sb-hugetlbfs-17 sb-pstore-31 sb-tmpfs-44 rcu-kfree-0 sb-hugetlbfs-33 sb-rootfs-2 sb-tmpfs-49 sb-aio-20 sb-iomem-12 sb-securityfs-6 sb-tracefs-13 sb-anon_inodefs-15 sb-mqueue-21 sb-selinuxfs-22 sb-xfs:vda1-36 sb-bdev-3 sb-nsfs-4 sb-sockfs-8 sb-zsmalloc-19 sb-bpf-32 sb-pipefs-14 sb-sysfs-26 thp-deferred_split-10 sb-btrfs:vda2-24 sb-proc-25 sb-tmpfs-1 thp-zero-9 sb-cgroup2-30 sb-proc-39 sb-tmpfs-27 xfs-buf:vda1-37 sb-configfs-23 sb-proc-41 sb-tmpfs-29 xfs-inodegc:vda1-38 sb-dax-11 sb-proc-45 sb-tmpfs-35 sb-debugfs-7 sb-proc-46 sb-tmpfs-40 [roman.gushchin@linux.dev: fix build warnings] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/Yr+ZTnLb9lJk6fJO@castle Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220601032227.4076670-4-roman.gushchin@linux.dev Signed-off-by: Roman Gushchin <roman.gushchin@linux.dev> Cc: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> Cc: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Cc: Hillf Danton <hdanton@sina.com> Cc: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com> Cc: Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

2019-08-28vmw_balloon: Fix offline page marking with compactionNadav Amit1-2/+8
The compaction code already marks pages as offline when it enqueues pages in the ballooned page list, and removes the mapping when the pages are removed from the list. VMware balloon also updates the flags, instead of letting the balloon-compaction logic handle it, which causes the assertion VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageOffline(page)) to fire, when __ClearPageOffline is called the second time. This causes the following crash. [ 487.104520] kernel BUG at include/linux/page-flags.h:749!

2019-05-24vmw_balloon: Split refused pagesNadav Amit1-11/+52
The hypervisor might refuse to inflate pages. While the balloon driver handles this scenario correctly, a refusal to inflate a 2MB pages might cause the same page to be allocated again later just for its inflation to be refused again. This wastes energy and time. To avoid this situation, split the 2MB page to 4KB pages, and then try to inflate each one individually. Most of the 4KB pages out of the 2MB should be inflated successfully, and the balloon is likely to prevent the scenario of repeated refused inflation.

2019-05-24vmw_balloon: Add memory shrinkerNadav Amit1-2/+131
Add a shrinker to the VMware balloon to prevent out-of-memory events. We reuse the deflate logic for this matter. Deadlocks should not happen, as no memory allocation is performed while the locks of the communication (batch/page) and page-list are taken. In the unlikely event in which the configuration semaphore is taken for write we bail out and fail gracefully (causing processes to be killed). Once the shrinker is called, inflation is postponed for few seconds. The timeout is updated without any lock, but this should not cause any races, as it is written and read atomically. This feature is disabled by default, since it might cause performance degradation.

2019-05-24vmw_balloon: Compaction supportNadav Amit1-38/+263
Add support for compaction for VMware balloon. Since unlike the virtio balloon, we also support huge-pages, which are not going through compaction, we keep these pages in vmballoon and handle this list separately. We use the same lock to protect both lists, as this lock is not supposed to be contended. Doing so also eliminates the need for the page_size lists. We update the accounting as needed to reflect inflation, deflation and migration to be reflected in vmstat. Since VMware balloon now provides statistics for inflation, deflation and migration in vmstat, select MEMORY_BALLOON in Kconfig.

2018-12-28mm: convert totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages variables to atomicArun KS1-1/+1
totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages are made static inline function. Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating things. It was discussed in length here, https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.

2018-09-25vmw_balloon: rework the inflate and deflate loopsNadav Amit1-288/+541
In preparation for supporting compaction and OOM notification, this patch reworks the inflate/deflate loops. The main idea is to separate the allocation, communication with the hypervisor, and the handling of errors from each other. Doing will allow us to perform concurrent inflation and deflation, excluding the actual communication with the hypervisor. To do so, we need to get rid of the remaining global state that is kept in the balloon struct, specifically the refuse_list. When the VM communicates with the hypervisor, it does not free or put back pages to the balloon list and instead only moves the pages whose status indicated failure into a refuse_list on the stack. Once the operation completes, the inflation or deflation functions handle the list appropriately. As we do that, we can consolidate the communication with the hypervisor for both the lock and unlock operations into a single function. We also reuse the deflation function for popping the balloon. As a preparation for preventing races, we hold a spinlock when the communication actually takes place, and use atomic operations for updating the balloon size. The balloon page list is still racy and will be handled in the next patch.

2018-09-25vmw_balloon: stats reworkNadav Amit1-103/+281
To allow the balloon statistics to be updated concurrently, we change the statistics to be held per core and aggregate it when needed. To avoid the memory overhead of keeping the statistics per core, and since it is likely not used by most users, we start updating the statistics only after the first use. A read-write semaphore is used to protect the statistics initialization and avoid races. This semaphore is (and will) be used to protect configuration changes during reset. While we are at it, address some other issues: change the statistics update to inline functions instead of define; use ulong for saving the statistics; and clean the statistics printouts. Note that this patch changes the format of the outputs. If there are any automatic tools that use the statistics, they might fail.

2018-09-25vmw_balloon: treat all refused pages equallyNadav Amit1-23/+29
Currently, when the hypervisor rejects a page during lock operation, the VM treats pages differently according to the error-code: in certain cases the page is immediately freed, and in others it is put on a rejection list and only freed later. The behavior does not make too much sense. If the page is freed immediately it is very likely to be used again in the next batch of allocations, and be rejected again. In addition, for support of compaction and OOM notifiers, we wish to separate the logic that communicates with the hypervisor (as well as analyzes the status of each page) from the logic that allocates or free pages. Treat all errors the same way, queuing the pages on the refuse list. Move to the next allocation size (4k) when too many pages are refused. Free the refused pages when moving to the next size to avoid situations in which too much memory is waiting to be freed on the refused list.

2018-09-25vmw_balloon: change batch/single lock abstractionsNadav Amit1-193/+165
The current abstractions for batch vs single operations seem suboptimal and complicate the implementation of additional features (OOM, compaction). The immediate problem of the current abstractions is that they cause differences in how operations are handled when batching is on or off. For example, the refused_alloc counter is not updated when batching is on. These discrepancies are caused by code redundancies. Instead, this patch presents three type of operations, according to whether batching is on or off: (1) add page, (2) communication with the hypervisor and (3) retrieving the status of a page. To avoid the overhead of virtual functions, and since we do not expect additional interfaces for communication with the hypervisor, we use static keys instead of virtual functions. Finally, while we are at it, change vmballoon_init_batching() to return int instead of bool, to be consistent in the return type and avoid potential coding errors.

2018-09-25vmw_balloon: remove sleeping allocationsNadav Amit1-49/+18
Splitting the allocations between sleeping and non-sleeping made some sort of sense as long as rate-limiting was enabled. Now that it is removed, we need to decide - either we want sleeping allocations or not. Since no other Linux balloon driver (hv, Xen, virtio) uses sleeping allocations, use the same approach. We do distinguish, however, between 2MB allocations and 4kB allocations and prevent reclamation on 2MB. In both cases, we avoid using emergency low-memory pools, as it may cause undesired effects.

Since commit 33d268ed0019 ("VMware balloon: Do not limit the amount of frees and allocations in non-sleep mode."), the allocations are not increased, and therefore balloon inflation rate limiting is in practice broken. While we can restore rate limiting, in practice we see that it can result in adverse effect, as the hypervisor throttles down the VM if it does not respond well enough, or alternatively causes it to perform very poorly as the host swaps out the VM memory. Throttling the VM down can even have a cascading effect, in which the VM reclaims memory even slower and consequentially throttled down even further. We therefore remove all the rate limiting mechanisms, including the slow allocation cycles, as they are likely to do more harm than good.

2018-07-03vmw_balloon: fix VMCI use when balloon built into kernelNadav Amit1-1/+8
Currently, when all modules, including VMCI and VMware balloon are built into the kernel, the initialization of the balloon happens before the VMCI is probed. As a result, the balloon fails to initialize the VMCI doorbell, which it uses to get asynchronous requests for balloon size changes. The problem can be seen in the logs, in the form of the following message: "vmw_balloon: failed to initialize vmci doorbell" The driver would work correctly but slightly less efficiently, probing for requests periodically. This patch changes the balloon to be initialized using late_initcall() instead of module_init() to address this issue. It does not address a situation in which VMCI is built as a module and the balloon is built into the kernel.

2018-06-02vmw_balloon: fixing double free when batching mode is offGil Kupfer1-16/+7
The balloon.page field is used for two different purposes if batching is on or off. If batching is on, the field point to the page which is used to communicate with with the hypervisor. If it is off, balloon.page points to the page that is about to be (un)locked. Unfortunately, this dual-purpose of the field introduced a bug: when the balloon is popped (e.g., when the machine is reset or the balloon driver is explicitly removed), the balloon driver frees, unconditionally, the page that is held in balloon.page. As a result, if batching is disabled, this leads to double freeing the last page that is sent to the hypervisor.

Get notified immediately when a balloon target is set, instead of waiting for up to one second. The up-to 1 second gap could be long enough to cause swapping inside of the VM that receives the VM.

2015-10-04VMware balloon: Support 2m page ballooning.Philip P. Moltmann1-118/+258
2m ballooning significantly reduces the hypervisor side (and guest side) overhead of ballooning and unballooning. hypervisor only: balloon unballoon 4 KB 2 GB/s 2.6 GB/s 2 MB 54 GB/s 767 GB/s Use 2 MB pages as the hypervisor is alwys 64bit and 2 MB is the smallest supported super-page size. The code has to run on older versions of ESX and old balloon drivers run on newer version of ESX. Hence match the capabilities with the host before 2m page ballooning could be enabled.

non-sleep mode. When VMware's hypervisor requests a VM to reclaim memory this is preferrably done via ballooning. If the balloon driver does not return memory fast enough, more drastic methods, such as hypervisor-level swapping are needed. These other methods cause performance issues, e.g. hypervisor-level swapping requires the hypervisor to swap in a page syncronously while the virtual CPU is blocked. Hence it is in the interest of the VM to balloon memory as fast as possible. The problem with doing this is that the VM might end up doing nothing else than ballooning and the user might notice that the VM is stalled, esp. when the VM has only a single virtual CPU. This is less of a problem if the VM and the hypervisor perform balloon operations faster. Also the balloon driver yields regularly, hence on a single virtual CPU the Linux scheduler should be able to properly time-slice between ballooning and other tasks. Testing Done: quickly ballooned a lot of pages while wathing if there are any perceived hickups (periods of non-responsiveness) in the execution of the linux VM. No such hickups were seen.
