2019-03-15filemap: add a comment about FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT behaviorLinus Torvalds1-0/+5
I thought Josef Bacik's patch to drop the mmap_sem was buggy, because when looking at the error cases, there was one case where we returned VM_FAULT_RETRY without actually dropping the mmap_sem. Josef had to explain to me (using small words) that yes, that's actually what we're supposed to do, and his patch was correct. Which not only convinced me he knew what he was doing and I should stop arguing with him, but also that I should add a comment to the case I was confused about.

2019-03-15filemap: drop the mmap_sem for all blocking operationsJosef Bacik1-19/+117
Currently we only drop the mmap_sem if there is contention on the page lock. The idea is that we issue readahead and then go to lock the page while it is under IO and we want to not hold the mmap_sem during the IO. The problem with this is the assumption that the readahead does anything. In the case that the box is under extreme memory or IO pressure we may end up not reading anything at all for readahead, which means we will end up reading in the page under the mmap_sem. Even if the readahead does something, it could get throttled because of io pressure on the system and the process is in a lower priority cgroup. Holding the mmap_sem while doing IO is problematic because it can cause system-wide priority inversions. Consider some large company that does a lot of web traffic. This large company has load balancing logic in it's core web server, cause some engineer thought this was a brilliant plan. This load balancing logic gets statistics from /proc about the system, which trip over processes mmap_sem for various reasons. Now the web server application is in a protected cgroup, but these other processes may not be, and if they are being throttled while their mmap_sem is held we'll stall, and cause this nice death spiral. Instead rework filemap fault path to drop the mmap sem at any point that we may do IO or block for an extended period of time. This includes while issuing readahead, locking the page, or needing to call ->readpage because readahead did not occur. Then once we have a fully uptodate page we can return with VM_FAULT_RETRY and come back again to find our nicely in-cache page that was gotten outside of the mmap_sem. This patch also adds a new helper for locking the page with the mmap_sem dropped. This doesn't make sense currently as generally speaking if the page is already locked it'll have been read in (unless there was an error) before it was unlocked. However a forthcoming patchset will change this with the ability to abort read-ahead bio's if necessary, making it more likely that we could contend for a page lock and still have a not uptodate page. This allows us to deal with this case by grabbing the lock and issuing the IO without the mmap_sem held, and then returning VM_FAULT_RETRY to come back around.

2019-03-15filemap: kill page_cache_read usage in filemap_faultJosef Bacik1-60/+15
Patch series "drop the mmap_sem when doing IO in the fault path", v6. Now that we have proper isolation in place with cgroups2 we have started going through and fixing the various priority inversions. Most are all gone now, but this one is sort of weird since it's not necessarily a priority inversion that happens within the kernel, but rather because of something userspace does. We have giant applications that we want to protect, and parts of these giant applications do things like watch the system state to determine how healthy the box is for load balancing and such. This involves running 'ps' or other such utilities. These utilities will often walk /proc/<pid>/whatever, and these files can sometimes need to down_read(&task->mmap_sem). Not usually a big deal, but we noticed when we are stress testing that sometimes our protected application has latency spikes trying to get the mmap_sem for tasks that are in lower priority cgroups. This is because any down_write() on a semaphore essentially turns it into a mutex, so even if we currently have it held for reading, any new readers will not be allowed on to keep from starving the writer. This is fine, except a lower priority task could be stuck doing IO because it has been throttled to the point that its IO is taking much longer than normal. But because a higher priority group depends on this completing it is now stuck behind lower priority work. In order to avoid this particular priority inversion we want to use the existing retry mechanism to stop from holding the mmap_sem at all if we are going to do IO. This already exists in the read case sort of, but needed to be extended for more than just grabbing the page lock. With io.latency we throttle at submit_bio() time, so the readahead stuff can block and even page_cache_read can block, so all these paths need to have the mmap_sem dropped. The other big thing is ->page_mkwrite. btrfs is particularly shitty here because we have to reserve space for the dirty page, which can be a very expensive operation. We use the same retry method as the read path, and simply cache the page and verify the page is still setup properly the next pass through ->page_mkwrite(). I've tested these patches with xfstests and there are no regressions. This patch (of 3): If we do not have a page at filemap_fault time we'll do this weird forced page_cache_read thing to populate the page, and then drop it again and loop around and find it. This makes for 2 ways we can read a page in filemap_fault, and it's not really needed. Instead add a FGP_FOR_MMAP flag so that pagecache_get_page() will return a unlocked page that's in pagecache. Then use the normal page locking and readpage logic already in filemap_fault. This simplifies the no page in page cache case significantly.

While this is correct it also can influence page migration which will bail out when seeing an elevated reference count. The faultaround code would bail on seeing a locked page so we can pro-actively check the PageLocked bit before page_cache_get_speculative and prevent from pointless reference count churn.

2018-12-28mm: put_and_wait_on_page_locked() while page is migratedHugh Dickins1-13/+74
Waiting on a page migration entry has used wait_on_page_locked() all along since 2006: but you cannot safely wait_on_page_locked() without holding a reference to the page, and that extra reference is enough to make migrate_page_move_mapping() fail with -EAGAIN, when a racing task faults on the entry before migrate_page_move_mapping() gets there. And that failure is retried nine times, amplifying the pain when trying to migrate a popular page. With a single persistent faulter, migration sometimes succeeds; with two or three concurrent faulters, success becomes much less likely (and the more the page was mapped, the worse the overhead of unmapping and remapping it on each try). This is especially a problem for memory offlining, where the outer level retries forever (or until terminated from userspace), because a heavy refault workload can trigger an endless loop of migration failures. wait_on_page_locked() is the wrong tool for the job. David Herrmann (but was he the first?) noticed this issue in 2014: https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=140110465608116&w=2 Tim Chen started a thread in August 2017 which appears relevant: https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=150275941014915&w=2 where Kan Liang went on to implicate __migration_entry_wait(): https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=150300268411980&w=2 and the thread ended up with the v4.14 commits: 2554db916586 ("sched/wait: Break up long wake list walk") 11a19c7b099f ("sched/wait: Introduce wakeup boomark in wake_up_page_bit") Baoquan He reported "Memory hotplug softlock issue" 14 November 2018: https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=154217936431300&w=2 We have all assumed that it is essential to hold a page reference while waiting on a page lock: partly to guarantee that there is still a struct page when MEMORY_HOTREMOVE is configured, but also to protect against reuse of the struct page going to someone who then holds the page locked indefinitely, when the waiter can reasonably expect timely unlocking. But in fact, so long as wait_on_page_bit_common() does the put_page(), and is careful not to rely on struct page contents thereafter, there is no need to hold a reference to the page while waiting on it. That does mean that this case cannot go back through the loop: but that's fine for the page migration case, and even if used more widely, is limited by the "Stop walking if it's locked" optimization in wake_page_function(). Add interface put_and_wait_on_page_locked() to do this, using "behavior" enum in place of "lock" arg to wait_on_page_bit_common() to implement it. No interruptible or killable variant needed yet, but they might follow: I have a vague notion that reporting -EINTR should take precedence over return from wait_on_page_bit_common() without knowing the page state, so arrange it accordingly - but that may be nothing but pedantic. __migration_entry_wait() still has to take a brief reference to the page, prior to calling put_and_wait_on_page_locked(): but now that it is dropped before waiting, the chance of impeding page migration is very much reduced. Should we perhaps disable preemption across this? shrink_page_list()'s __ClearPageLocked(): that was a surprise! This survived a lot of testing before that showed up. PageWaiters may have been set by wait_on_page_bit_common(), and the reference dropped, just before shrink_page_list() succeeds in freezing its last page reference: in such a case, unlock_page() must be used. Follow the suggestion from Michal Hocko, just revert a978d6f52106 ("mm: unlockless reclaim") now: that optimization predates PageWaiters, and won't buy much these days; but we can reinstate it for the !PageWaiters case if anyone notices. It does raise the question: should vmscan.c's is_page_cache_freeable() and __remove_mapping() now treat a PageWaiters page as if an extra reference were held? Perhaps, but I don't think it matters much, since shrink_page_list() already had to win its trylock_page(), so waiters are not very common there: I noticed no difference when trying the bigger change, and it's surely not needed while put_and_wait_on_page_locked() is only used for page migration.

2018-10-30vfs: strengthen checking of file range inputs to generic_remap_checksDarrick J. Wong1-32/+52
File range remapping, if allowed to run past the destination file's EOF, is an optimization on a regular file write. Regular file writes that extend the file length are subject to various constraints which are not checked by range cloning. This is a correctness problem because we're never allowed to touch ranges that the page cache can't support (s_maxbytes); we're not supposed to deal with large offsets (MAX_NON_LFS) if O_LARGEFILE isn't set; and we must obey resource limits (RLIMIT_FSIZE). Therefore, add these checks to the new generic_remap_checks function so that we curtail unexpected behavior. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

Pull XArray conversion from Matthew Wilcox: "The XArray provides an improved interface to the radix tree data structure, providing locking as part of the API, specifying GFP flags at allocation time, eliminating preloading, less re-walking the tree, more efficient iterations and not exposing RCU-protected pointers to its users. This patch set 1. Introduces the XArray implementation 2. Converts the pagecache to use it 3. Converts memremap to use it The page cache is the most complex and important user of the radix tree, so converting it was most important.

2018-10-26psi: pressure stall information for CPU, memory, and IOJohannes Weiner1-4/+11
When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close the system is to lockups and OOM kills. In particular, when machines work multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency and throughput on the individual job can be enormous. In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way to quantify resource pressure in the system. A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO, respectively. Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay accounting delays: cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache io: tasks are waiting for io completions These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages, and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss incurred by resource overcommit. They can also indicate when the system is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs. To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU and samples the time they spend in stall states. Every 2 seconds, the samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of walltime. A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s, 1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).

2018-10-26mm: workingset: tell cache transitions from workingset thrashingJohannes Weiner1-6/+3
Refaults happen during transitions between workingsets as well as in-place thrashing. Knowing the difference between the two has a range of applications, including measuring the impact of memory shortage on the system performance, as well as the ability to smarter balance pressure between the filesystem cache and the swap-backed workingset. During workingset transitions, inactive cache refaults and pushes out established active cache. When that active cache isn't stale, however, and also ends up refaulting, that's bonafide thrashing. Introduce a new page flag that tells on eviction whether the page has been active or not in its lifetime. This bit is then stored in the shadow entry, to classify refaults as transitioning or thrashing. How many page->flags does this leave us with on 32-bit? 20 bits are always page flags 21 if you have an MMU 23 with the zone bits for DMA, Normal, HighMem, Movable 29 with the sparsemem section bits 30 if PAE is enabled 31 with this patch. So on 32-bit PAE, that leaves 1 bit for distinguishing two NUMA nodes. If that's not enough, the system can switch to discontigmem and re-gain the 6 or 7 sparsemem section bits.

2018-04-20mm/filemap.c: fix NULL pointer in page_cache_tree_insert()Matthew Wilcox1-5/+4
f2fs specifies the __GFP_ZERO flag for allocating some of its pages. Unfortunately, the page cache also uses the mapping's GFP flags for allocating radix tree nodes. It always masked off the __GFP_HIGHMEM flag, and masks off __GFP_ZERO in some paths, but not all. That causes radix tree nodes to be allocated with a NULL list_head, which causes backtraces like: __list_del_entry+0x30/0xd0 list_lru_del+0xac/0x1ac page_cache_tree_insert+0xd8/0x110 The __GFP_DMA and __GFP_DMA32 flags would also be able to sneak through if they are ever used.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs Pull AFS updates from David Howells: "kAFS filesystem driver overhaul. The major points of the overhaul are: (1) Preliminary groundwork is laid for supporting network-namespacing of kAFS. The remainder of the namespacing work requires some way to pass namespace information to submounts triggered by an automount. This requires something like the mount overhaul that's in progress. (2) sockaddr_rxrpc is used in preference to in_addr for holding addresses internally and add support for talking to the YFS VL server. With this, kAFS can do everything over IPv6 as well as IPv4 if it's talking to servers that support it. (3) Callback handling is overhauled to be generally passive rather than active. 'Callbacks' are promises by the server to tell us about data and metadata changes. Callbacks are now checked when we next touch an inode rather than actively going and looking for it where possible. (4) File access permit caching is overhauled to store the caching information per-inode rather than per-directory, shared over subordinate files. Whilst older AFS servers only allow ACLs on directories (shared to the files in that directory), newer AFS servers break that restriction. To improve memory usage and to make it easier to do mass-key removal, permit combinations are cached and shared. (5) Cell database management is overhauled to allow lighter locks to be used and to make cell records autonomous state machines that look after getting their own DNS records and cleaning themselves up, in particular preventing races in acquiring and relinquishing the fscache token for the cell. (6) Volume caching is overhauled. The afs_vlocation record is got rid of to simplify things and the superblock is now keyed on the cell and the numeric volume ID only. The volume record is tied to a superblock and normal superblock management is used to mediate the lifetime of the volume fscache token. (7) File server record caching is overhauled to make server records independent of cells and volumes. A server can be in multiple cells (in such a case, the administrator must make sure that the VL services for all cells correctly reflect the volumes shared between those cells). Server records are now indexed using the UUID of the server rather than the address since a server can have multiple addresses. (8) File server rotation is overhauled to handle VMOVED, VBUSY (and similar), VOFFLINE and VNOVOL indications and to handle rotation both of servers and addresses of those servers. The rotation will also wait and retry if the server says it is busy. (9) Data writeback is overhauled. Each inode no longer stores a list of modified sections tagged with the key that authorised it in favour of noting the modified region of a page in page->private and storing a list of keys that made modifications in the inode. This simplifies things and allows other keys to be used to actually write to the server if a key that made a modification becomes useless. (10) Writable mmap() is implemented. This allows a kernel to be build entirely on AFS.

2017-11-15mm: remove __GFP_COLDMel Gorman1-3/+3
As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that allocation requests can take advantage of. Juding from the users of __GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying other sites instead of actually measuring the impact. Remove the __GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page allocator. This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu list can often fit in the L3 cache. Hence, there is only a potential benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop. It's even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway. The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the allocation path and not the free path. A page fault microbenchmark was tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the fault path.

2017-11-15mm, pagevec: remove cold parameter for pagevecsMel Gorman1-1/+1
Every pagevec_init user claims the pages being released are hot even in cases where it is unlikely the pages are hot. As no one cares about the hotness of pages being released to the allocator, just ditch the parameter. No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal. The parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless parameter copied everywhere.
