The stack frame size could grow too large when the plugin used long long on 32-bit architectures when the given function had too many basic blocks. The gcc warning was: drivers/pci/hotplug/ibmphp_ebda.c: In function 'ibmphp_access_ebda': drivers/pci/hotplug/ibmphp_ebda.c:409:1: warning: the frame size of 1108 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] This switches latent_entropy from u64 to unsigned long.

2016-10-27mm: remove per-zone hashtable of bitlock waitqueuesLinus Torvalds1-113/+2
The per-zone waitqueues exist because of a scalability issue with the page waitqueues on some NUMA machines, but it turns out that they hurt normal loads, and now with the vmalloced stacks they also end up breaking gfs2 that uses a bit_wait on a stack object: wait_on_bit(&gh->gh_iflags, HIF_WAIT, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) where 'gh' can be a reference to the local variable 'mount_gh' on the stack of fill_super(). The reason the per-zone hash table breaks for this case is that there is no "zone" for virtual allocations, and trying to look up the physical page to get at it will fail (with a BUG_ON()). It turns out that I actually complained to the mm people about the per-zone hash table for another reason just a month ago: the zone lookup also hurts the regular use of "unlock_page()" a lot, because the zone lookup ends up forcing several unnecessary cache misses and generates horrible code. As part of that earlier discussion, we had a much better solution for the NUMA scalability issue - by just making the page lock have a separate contention bit, the waitqueue doesn't even have to be looked at for the normal case. Peter Zijlstra already has a patch for that, but let's see if anybody even notices. In the meantime, let's fix the actual gfs2 breakage by simplifying the bitlock waitqueues and removing the per-zone issue.

The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and variables. If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then the plugin will initialize it with random contents. The variable must be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields. These specific functions have been selected because they are init functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of latent entropy.

2016-10-10gcc-plugins: Add latent_entropy pluginEmese Revfy1-0/+5
This adds a new gcc plugin named "latent_entropy". It is designed to extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot time as possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in CPU operation (due to runtime data differences, hardware differences, SMP ordering, thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc). At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example for how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals. The need for very-early boot entropy tends to be very architecture or system design specific, so this plugin is more suited for those sorts of special cases. The existing kernel RNG already attempts to extract entropy from reliable runtime variation, but this plugin takes the idea to a logical extreme by permuting a global variable based on any variation in code execution (e.g. a different value (and permutation function) is used to permute the global based on loop count, case statement, if/then/else branching, etc). To do this, the plugin starts by inserting a local variable in every marked function. The plugin then adds logic so that the value of this variable is modified by randomly chosen operations (add, xor and rol) and random values (gcc generates separate static values for each location at compile time and also injects the stack pointer at runtime). The resulting value depends on the control flow path (e.g., loops and branches taken). Before the function returns, the plugin mixes this local variable into the latent_entropy global variable. The value of this global variable is added to the kernel entropy pool in do_one_initcall() and _do_fork(), though it does not credit any bytes of entropy to the pool; the contents of the global are just used to mix the pool. Additionally, the plugin can pre-initialize arrays with build-time random contents, so that two different kernel builds running on identical hardware will not have the same starting values.

2016-10-07mm: warn about allocations which stall for too longMichal Hocko1-0/+10
Currently we do warn only about allocation failures but small allocations are basically nofail and they might loop in the page allocator for a long time. Especially when the reclaim cannot make any progress - e.g. GFP_NOFS cannot invoke the oom killer and rely on a different context to make a forward progress in case there is a lot memory used by filesystems. Give us at least a clue when something like this happens and warn about allocations which take more than 10s. Print the basic allocation context information along with the cumulative time spent in the allocation as well as the allocation stack. Repeat the warning after every 10 seconds so that we know that the problem is permanent rather than ephemeral.

2016-10-07mm: consolidate warn_alloc_failed usersMichal Hocko1-15/+12
warn_alloc_failed is currently used from the page and vmalloc allocators. This is a good reuse of the code except that vmalloc would appreciate a slightly different warning message. This is already handled by the fmt parameter except that "%s: page allocation failure: order:%u, mode:%#x(%pGg)" is printed anyway. This might be quite misleading because it might be a vmalloc failure which leads to the warning while the page allocator is not the culprit here. Fix this by always using the fmt string and only print the context that makes sense for the particular context (e.g. order makes only very little sense for the vmalloc context). Rename the function to not miss any user and also because a later patch will reuse it also for !failure cases.

2016-10-07mm, compaction: restrict full priority to non-costly ordersVlastimil Babka1-1/+4
The new ultimate compaction priority disables some heuristics, which may result in excessive cost. This is fine for non-costly orders where we want to try hard before resulting for OOM, but might be disruptive for costly orders which do not trigger OOM and should generally have some fallback. Thus, we disable the full priority for costly orders.

2016-10-07mm, compaction: more reliably increase direct compaction priorityVlastimil Babka1-14/+19
During reclaim/compaction loop, compaction priority can be increased by the should_compact_retry() function, but the current code is not optimal. Priority is only increased when compaction_failed() is true, which means that compaction has scanned the whole zone. This may not happen even after multiple attempts with a lower priority due to parallel activity, so we might needlessly struggle on the lower priorities and possibly run out of compaction retry attempts in the process. After this patch we are guaranteed at least one attempt at the highest compaction priority even if we exhaust all retries at the lower priorities.

2016-10-07Revert "mm, oom: prevent premature OOM killer invocation for high order request"Vlastimil Babka1-2/+49
Patch series "reintroduce compaction feedback for OOM decisions". After several people reported OOM's for order-2 allocations in 4.7 due to Michal Hocko's OOM rework, he reverted the part that considered compaction feedback [1] in the decisions to retry reclaim/compaction. This was to provide a fix quickly for 4.8 rc and 4.7 stable series, while mmotm had an almost complete solution that instead improved compaction reliability. This series completes the mmotm solution and reintroduces the compaction feedback into OOM decisions. The first two patches restore the state of mmotm before the temporary solution was merged, the last patch should be the missing piece for reliability. The third patch restricts the hardened compaction to non-costly orders, since costly orders don't result in OOMs in the first place. [1] http://marc.info/?i=20160822093249.GA14916%40dhcp22.suse.cz%3E This patch (of 4): Commit 6b4e3181d7bd ("mm, oom: prevent premature OOM killer invocation for high order request") was intended as a quick fix of OOM regressions for 4.8 and stable 4.7.x kernels. For a better long-term solution, we still want to consider compaction feedback, which should be possible after some more improvements in the following patches. This reverts commit 6b4e3181d7bd5ca5ab6f45929e4a5ffa7ab4ab7f.

2016-10-07mm: introduce arch_reserved_kernel_pages()Srikar Dronamraju1-0/+12
Currently arch specific code can reserve memory blocks but alloc_large_system_hash() may not take it into consideration when sizing the hashes. This can lead to bigger hash than required and lead to no available memory for other purposes. This is specifically true for systems with CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT enabled. One approach to solve this problem would be to walk through the memblock regions and calculate the available memory and base the size of hash system on the available memory. The other approach would be to depend on the architecture to provide the number of pages that are reserved. This change provides hooks to allow the architecture to provide the required info.

2016-10-07mm/page_ext: support extra space allocation by page_ext userJoonsoo Kim1-1/+1
Until now, if some page_ext users want to use it's own field on page_ext, it should be defined in struct page_ext by hard-coding. It has a problem that wastes memory in following situation. struct page_ext { #ifdef CONFIG_A int a; #endif #ifdef CONFIG_B int b; #endif }; Assume that kernel is built with both CONFIG_A and CONFIG_B. Even if we enable feature A and doesn't enable feature B at runtime, each entry of struct page_ext takes two int rather than one int. It's undesirable result so this patch tries to fix it. To solve above problem, this patch implements to support extra space allocation at runtime. When need() callback returns true, it's extra memory requirement is summed to entry size of page_ext. Also, offset for each user's extra memory space is returned. With this offset, user can use this extra space and there is no need to define needed field on page_ext by hard-coding. This patch only implements an infrastructure. Following patch will use it for page_owner which is only user having it's own fields on page_ext.

2016-10-07mm/debug_pagealloc.c: don't allocate page_ext if we don't use guard pageJoonsoo Kim1-1/+7
What debug_pagealloc does is just mapping/unmapping page table. Basically, it doesn't need additional memory space to memorize something. But, with guard page feature, it requires additional memory to distinguish if the page is for guard or not. Guard page is only used when debug_guardpage_minorder is non-zero so this patch removes additional memory allocation (page_ext) if debug_guardpage_minorder is zero. It saves memory if we just use debug_pagealloc and not guard page.

It doesn't requires additional memory if guard page isn't used. 8 bytes per page will be saved in this case. Second case is related to page owner feature. Until now, if page_ext users want to use it's own fields on page_ext, fields should be defined in struct page_ext by hard-coding.

That's because we have an empty normal zone, the present pages is zero, but its spanned pages is not zero. e.g. Zone ranges: DMA [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x0000000000ffffff] DMA32 [mem 0x0000000001000000-0x00000000ffffffff] Normal [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000007c7fffffff] Movable zone start for each node Node 1: 0x0000001080000000 Node 2: 0x0000002080000000 Node 3: 0x0000003080000000 Node 4: 0x0000003c80000000 Node 5: 0x0000004c80000000 Node 6: 0x0000005c80000000 Early memory node ranges node 0: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009ffff] node 0: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x000000007552afff] node 0: [mem 0x000000007bd46000-0x000000007bd46fff] node 0: [mem 0x000000007bdcd000-0x000000007bffffff] node 0: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000107fffffff] node 1: [mem 0x0000001080000000-0x000000207fffffff] node 2: [mem 0x0000002080000000-0x000000307fffffff] node 3: [mem 0x0000003080000000-0x0000003c7fffffff] node 4: [mem 0x0000003c80000000-0x0000004c7fffffff] node 5: [mem 0x0000004c80000000-0x0000005c7fffffff] node 6: [mem 0x0000005c80000000-0x0000006c7fffffff] node 7: [mem 0x0000006c80000000-0x0000007c7fffffff] node1: Normal, start=0x1080000, present=0x0, spanned=0x1000000 Movable, start=0x1080000, present=0x1000000, spanned=0x1000000 pgdat, start=0x1080000, present=0x1000000, spanned=0x2000000 After this patch, the problem is fixed. node1: Normal, start=0x0, present=0x0, spanned=0x0 Movable, start=0x1080000, present=0x1000000, spanned=0x1000000 pgdat, start=0x1080000, present=0x1000000, spanned=0x1000000 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/57A325E8.6070100@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Xishi Qiu <qiuxishi@huawei.com> Cc: Taku Izumi <izumi.taku@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Cc: "Kirill A .

2016-10-07mm, compaction: require only min watermarks for non-costly ordersVlastimil Babka1-2/+7
The __compaction_suitable() function checks the low watermark plus a compact_gap() gap to decide if there's enough free memory to perform compaction. Then __isolate_free_page uses low watermark check to decide if particular free page can be isolated. In the latter case, using low watermark is needlessly pessimistic, as the free page isolations are only temporary. For __compaction_suitable() the higher watermark makes sense for high-order allocations where more freepages increase the chance of success, and we can typically fail with some order-0 fallback when the system is struggling to reach that watermark. But for low-order allocation, forming the page should not be that hard. So using low watermark here might just prevent compaction from even trying, and eventually lead to OOM killer even if we are above min watermarks. So after this patch, we use min watermark for non-costly orders in __compaction_suitable(), and for all orders in __isolate_free_page().

2016-10-07mm, compaction: use proper alloc_flags in __compaction_suitable()Vlastimil Babka1-1/+1
The __compaction_suitable() function checks the low watermark plus a compact_gap() gap to decide if there's enough free memory to perform compaction. This check uses direct compactor's alloc_flags, but that's wrong, since these flags are not applicable for freepage isolation. For example, alloc_flags may indicate access to memory reserves, making compaction proceed, and then fail watermark check during the isolation. A similar problem exists for ALLOC_CMA, which may be part of alloc_flags, but not during freepage isolation. In this case however it makes sense to use ALLOC_CMA both in __compaction_suitable() and __isolate_free_page(), since there's actually nothing preventing the freepage scanner to isolate from CMA pageblocks, with the assumption that a page that could be migrated once by compaction can be migrated also later by CMA allocation. Thus we should count pages in CMA pageblocks when considering compaction suitability and when isolating freepages. To sum up, this patch should remove some false positives from __compaction_suitable(), and allow compaction to proceed when free pages required for compaction reside in the CMA pageblocks.

2016-09-01mm, vmscan: only allocate and reclaim from zones with pages managed by the ↵Mel Gorman1-2/+2
buddy allocator Firmware Assisted Dump (FA_DUMP) on ppc64 reserves substantial amounts of memory when booting a secondary kernel. Srikar Dronamraju reported that multiple nodes may have no memory managed by the buddy allocator but still return true for populated_zone(). Commit 1d82de618ddd ("mm, vmscan: make kswapd reclaim in terms of nodes") was reported to cause kswapd to spin at 100% CPU usage when fadump was enabled. The old code happened to deal with the situation of a populated node with zero free pages by co-incidence but the current code tries to reclaim populated zones without realising that is impossible. We cannot just convert populated_zone() as many existing users really need to check for present_pages. This patch introduces a managed_zone() helper and uses it in the few cases where it is critical that the check is made for managed pages -- zonelist construction and page reclaim.

2016-09-01mm, oom: prevent premature OOM killer invocation for high order requestMichal Hocko1-49/+2
There have been several reports about pre-mature OOM killer invocation in 4.7 kernel when order-2 allocation request (for the kernel stack) invoked OOM killer even during basic workloads (light IO or even kernel compile on some filesystems). In all reported cases the memory is fragmented and there are no order-2+ pages available. There is usually a large amount of slab memory (usually dentries/inodes) and further debugging has shown that there are way too many unmovable blocks which are skipped during the compaction. Multiple reporters have confirmed that the current linux-next which includes [1] and [2] helped and OOMs are not reproducible anymore. A simpler fix for the late rc and stable is to simply ignore the compaction feedback and retry as long as there is a reclaim progress and we are not getting OOM for order-0 pages. We already do that for CONFING_COMPACTION=n so let's reuse the same code when compaction is enabled as well.

2016-08-09mm: memcontrol: only mark charged pages with PageKmemcgVladimir Davydov1-9/+5
To distinguish non-slab pages charged to kmemcg we mark them PageKmemcg, which sets page->_mapcount to -512. Currently, we set/clear PageKmemcg in __alloc_pages_nodemask()/free_pages_prepare() for any page allocated with __GFP_ACCOUNT, including those that aren't actually charged to any cgroup, i.e. allocated from the root cgroup context. To avoid overhead in case cgroups are not used, we only do that if memcg_kmem_enabled() is true. The latter is set iff there are kmem-enabled memory cgroups (online or offline). The root cgroup is not considered kmem-enabled. As a result, if a page is allocated with __GFP_ACCOUNT for the root cgroup when there are kmem-enabled memory cgroups and is freed after all kmem-enabled memory cgroups were removed, e.g. # no memory cgroups has been created yet, create one mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test # run something allocating pages with __GFP_ACCOUNT, e.g. # a program using pipe dmesg | tail # remove the memory cgroup rmdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test we'll get bad page state bug complaining about page->_mapcount != -1: BUG: Bad page state in process swapper/0 pfn:1fd945c page:ffffea007f651700 count:0 mapcount:-511 mapping: (null) index:0x0 flags: 0x1000000000000000() To avoid that, let's mark with PageKmemcg only those pages that are actually charged to and hence pin a non-root memory cgroup.

2016-07-28mm, compaction: simplify contended compaction handlingVlastimil Babka1-27/+1
Async compaction detects contention either due to failing trylock on zone->lock or lru_lock, or by need_resched(). Since 1f9efdef4f3f ("mm, compaction: khugepaged should not give up due to need_resched()") the code got quite complicated to distinguish these two up to the __alloc_pages_slowpath() level, so different decisions could be taken for khugepaged allocations. After the recent changes, khugepaged allocations don't check for contended compaction anymore, so we again don't need to distinguish lock and sched contention, and simplify the current convoluted code a lot. However, I believe it's also possible to simplify even more and completely remove the check for contended compaction after the initial async compaction for costly orders, which was originally aimed at THP page fault allocations. There are several reasons why this can be done now: - with the new defaults, THP page faults no longer do reclaim/compaction at all, unless the system admin has overridden the default, or application has indicated via madvise that it can benefit from THP's. In both cases, it means that the potential extra latency is expected and worth the benefits. - even if reclaim/compaction proceeds after this patch where it previously wouldn't, the second compaction attempt is still async and will detect the contention and back off, if the contention persists - there are still heuristics like deferred compaction and pageblock skip bits in place that prevent excessive THP page fault latencies Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160721073614.24395-9-vbabka@suse.cz Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2016-07-28mm, compaction: introduce direct compaction priorityVlastimil Babka1-14/+14
In the context of direct compaction, for some types of allocations we would like the compaction to either succeed or definitely fail while trying as hard as possible. Current async/sync_light migration mode is insufficient, as there are heuristics such as caching scanner positions, marking pageblocks as unsuitable or deferring compaction for a zone. At least the final compaction attempt should be able to override these heuristics. To communicate how hard compaction should try, we replace migration mode with a new enum compact_priority and change the relevant function signatures. In compact_zone_order() where struct compact_control is constructed, the priority is mapped to suitable control flags. This patch itself has no functional change, as the current priority levels are mapped back to the same migration modes as before. Expanding them will be done next. Note that !CONFIG_COMPACTION variant of try_to_compact_pages() is removed, as the only caller exists under CONFIG_COMPACTION.

2016-07-28mm, thp: remove __GFP_NORETRY from khugepaged and madvised allocationsVlastimil Babka1-4/+2
After the previous patch, we can distinguish costly allocations that should be really lightweight, such as THP page faults, with __GFP_NORETRY. This means we don't need to recognize khugepaged allocations via PF_KTHREAD anymore. We can also change THP page faults in areas where madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) was used to try as hard as khugepaged, as the process has indicated that it benefits from THP's and is willing to pay some initial latency costs. We can also make the flags handling less cryptic by distinguishing GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT (no reclaim at all, default mode in page fault) from GFP_TRANSHUGE (only direct reclaim, khugepaged default). Adding __GFP_NORETRY or __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM is done where needed. The patch effectively changes the current GFP_TRANSHUGE users as follows: * get_huge_zero_page() - the zero page lifetime should be relatively long and it's shared by multiple users, so it's worth spending some effort on it. We use GFP_TRANSHUGE, and __GFP_NORETRY is not added. This also restores direct reclaim to this allocation, which was unintentionally removed by commit e4a49efe4e7e ("mm: thp: set THP defrag by default to madvise and add a stall-free defrag option") * alloc_hugepage_khugepaged_gfpmask() - this is khugepaged, so latency is not an issue. So if khugepaged "defrag" is enabled (the default), do reclaim via GFP_TRANSHUGE without __GFP_NORETRY. We can remove the PF_KTHREAD check from page alloc. As a side-effect, khugepaged will now no longer check if the initial compaction was deferred or contended. This is OK, as khugepaged sleep times between collapsion attempts are long enough to prevent noticeable disruption, so we should allow it to spend some effort. * migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() - already was masking out __GFP_RECLAIM, so just convert to GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT which is equivalent. * alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask() - vma's with VM_HUGEPAGE (via madvise) are now allocating without __GFP_NORETRY. Other vma's keep using __GFP_NORETRY if direct reclaim/compaction is at all allowed (by default it's allowed only for madvised vma's). The rest is conversion to GFP_TRANSHUGE(_LIGHT).

2016-07-28mm, page_alloc: make THP-specific decisions more genericVlastimil Babka1-13/+9
Since THP allocations during page faults can be costly, extra decisions are employed for them to avoid excessive reclaim and compaction, if the initial compaction doesn't look promising. The detection has never been perfect as there is no gfp flag specific to THP allocations. At this moment it checks the whole combination of flags that makes up GFP_TRANSHUGE, and hopes that no other users of such combination exist, or would mind being treated the same way. Extra care is also taken to separate allocations from khugepaged, where latency doesn't matter that much. It is however possible to distinguish these allocations in a simpler and more reliable way. The key observation is that after the initial compaction followed by the first iteration of "standard" reclaim/compaction, both __GFP_NORETRY allocations and costly allocations without __GFP_REPEAT are declared as failures: /* Do not loop if specifically requested */ if (gfp_mask & __GFP_NORETRY) goto nopage; /* * Do not retry costly high order allocations unless they are * __GFP_REPEAT */ if (order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER && !(gfp_mask & __GFP_REPEAT)) goto nopage; This means we can further distinguish allocations that are costly order *and* additionally include the __GFP_NORETRY flag. As it happens, GFP_TRANSHUGE allocations do already fall into this category. This will also allow other costly allocations with similar high-order benefit vs latency considerations to use this semantic. Furthermore, we can distinguish THP allocations that should try a bit harder (such as from khugepageed) by removing __GFP_NORETRY, as will be done in the next patch.

2016-07-28mm, page_alloc: restructure direct compaction handling in slowpathVlastimil Babka1-52/+57
The retry loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath is supposed to keep trying reclaim and compaction (and OOM), until either the allocation succeeds, or returns with failure. Success here is more probable when reclaim precedes compaction, as certain watermarks have to be met for compaction to even try, and more free pages increase the probability of compaction success. On the other hand, starting with light async compaction (if the watermarks allow it), can be more efficient, especially for smaller orders, if there's enough free memory which is just fragmented. Thus, the current code starts with compaction before reclaim, and to make sure that the last reclaim is always followed by a final compaction, there's another direct compaction call at the end of the loop. This makes the code hard to follow and adds some duplicated handling of migration_mode decisions. It's also somewhat inefficient that even if reclaim or compaction decides not to retry, the final compaction is still attempted. Some gfp flags combination also shortcut these retry decisions by "goto noretry;", making it even harder to follow. This patch attempts to restructure the code with only minimal functional changes. The call to the first compaction and THP-specific checks are now placed above the retry loop, and the "noretry" direct compaction is removed. The initial compaction is additionally restricted only to costly orders, as we can expect smaller orders to be held back by watermarks, and only larger orders to suffer primarily from fragmentation. This better matches the checks in reclaim's shrink_zones(). There are two other smaller functional changes. One is that the upgrade from async migration to light sync migration will always occur after the initial compaction. This is how it has been until recent patch "mm, oom: protect !costly allocations some more", which introduced upgrading the mode based on COMPACT_COMPLETE result, but kept the final compaction always upgraded, which made it even more special. It's better to return to the simpler handling for now, as migration modes will be further modified later in the series. The second change is that once both reclaim and compaction declare it's not worth to retry the reclaim/compact loop, there is no final compaction attempt. As argued above, this is intentional. If that final compaction were to succeed, it would be due to a wrong retry decision, or simply a race with somebody else freeing memory for us. The main outcome of this patch should be simpler code. Logically, the initial compaction without reclaim is the exceptional case to the reclaim/compaction scheme, but prior to the patch, it was the last loop iteration that was exceptional. Now the code matches the logic better. The change also enable the following patches.

2016-07-28mm, page_alloc: don't retry initial attempt in slowpathVlastimil Babka1-11/+18
After __alloc_pages_slowpath() sets up new alloc_flags and wakes up kswapd, it first tries get_page_from_freelist() with the new alloc_flags, as it may succeed e.g. due to using min watermark instead of low watermark. It makes sense to to do this attempt before adjusting zonelist based on alloc_flags/gfp_mask, as it's still relatively a fast path if we just wake up kswapd and successfully allocate. This patch therefore moves the initial attempt above the retry label and reorganizes a bit the part below the retry label. We still have to attempt get_page_from_freelist() on each retry, as some allocations cannot do that as part of direct reclaim or compaction, and yet are not allowed to fail (even though they do a WARN_ON_ONCE() and thus should not exist). We can reuse the call meant for ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS attempt and just set alloc_flags to ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS if the context allows it. As a side-effect, the attempts from direct reclaim/compaction will also no longer obey watermarks once this is set, but there's little harm in that. Kswapd wakeups are also done on each retry to be safe from potential races resulting in kswapd going to sleep while a process (that may not be able to reclaim by itself) is still looping.

2016-07-28mm, page_alloc: set alloc_flags only once in slowpathVlastimil Babka1-26/+26
In __alloc_pages_slowpath(), alloc_flags doesn't change after it's initialized, so move the initialization above the retry: label. Also make the comment above the initialization more descriptive. The only exception in the alloc_flags being constant is ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS, which may change due to TIF_MEMDIE being set on the allocating thread. We can fix this, and make the code simpler and a bit more effective at the same time, by moving the part that determines ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS from gfp_to_alloc_flags() to gfp_pfmemalloc_allowed(). This means we don't have to mask out ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS in numerous places in __alloc_pages_slowpath() anymore. The only two tests for the flag can instead call gfp_pfmemalloc_allowed().

2016-07-28mm: track NR_KERNEL_STACK in KiB instead of number of stacksAndy Lutomirski1-2/+1
Currently, NR_KERNEL_STACK tracks the number of kernel stacks in a zone. This only makes sense if each kernel stack exists entirely in one zone, and allowing vmapped stacks could break this assumption. Since frv has THREAD_SIZE < PAGE_SIZE, we need to track kernel stack allocations in a unit that divides both THREAD_SIZE and PAGE_SIZE on all architectures. Keep it simple and use KiB.

2016-07-28mm: remove reclaim and compaction retry approximationsMel Gorman1-39/+10
If per-zone LRU accounting is available then there is no point approximating whether reclaim and compaction should retry based on pgdat statistics. This is effectively a revert of "mm, vmstat: remove zone and node double accounting by approximating retries" with the difference that inactive/active stats are still available. This preserves the history of why the approximation was retried and why it had to be reverted to handle OOM kills on 32-bit systems.

2016-07-28mm, vmstat: remove zone and node double accounting by approximating retriesMel Gorman1-12/+43
The number of LRU pages, dirty pages and writeback pages must be accounted for on both zones and nodes because of the reclaim retry logic, compaction retry logic and highmem calculations all depending on per-zone stats. Many lowmem allocations are immune from OOM kill due to a check in __alloc_pages_may_oom for (ac->high_zoneidx < ZONE_NORMAL) since commit 03668b3ceb0c ("oom: avoid oom killer for lowmem allocations"). The exception is costly high-order allocations or allocations that cannot fail. If the __alloc_pages_may_oom avoids OOM-kill for low-order lowmem allocations then it would fall through to __alloc_pages_direct_compact. This patch will blindly retry reclaim for zone-constrained allocations in should_reclaim_retry up to MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES. This is not ideal but without per-zone stats there are not many alternatives. The impact it that zone-constrained allocations may delay before considering the OOM killer. As there is no guarantee enough memory can ever be freed to satisfy compaction, this patch avoids retrying compaction for zone-contrained allocations. In combination, that means that the per-node stats can be used when deciding whether to continue reclaim using a rough approximation. While it is possible this will make the wrong decision on occasion, it will not infinite loop as the number of reclaim attempts is capped by MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES. The final step is calculating the number of dirtyable highmem pages. As those calculations only care about the global count of file pages in highmem. This patch uses a global counter used instead of per-zone stats as it is sufficient. In combination, this allows the per-zone LRU and dirty state counters to be removed.

The ac_classzone_idx is used as the basis for waking kswapd and that is based on the preferred zoneref. If the preferred zoneref's first zone is lower than what is available on other nodes, it's possible that kswapd is woken on a zone with only higher, but still eligible, zones. As classzone_idx is strictly adhered to now, it causes a problem because eligible pages are skipped. For example, node 0 has only DMA32 and node 1 has only NORMAL. An allocating context running on node 0 may wake kswapd on node 1 telling it to skip all NORMAL pages.

2016-07-28mm, vmscan: only wakeup kswapd once per node for the requested classzoneMel Gorman1-2/+6
kswapd is woken when zones are below the low watermark but the wakeup decision is not taking the classzone into account. Now that reclaim is node-based, it is only required to wake kswapd once per node and only if all zones are unbalanced for the requested classzone. Note that one node might be checked multiple times if the zonelist is ordered by node because there is no cheap way of tracking what nodes have already been visited. For zone-ordering, each node should be checked only once.

2016-07-28mm: move most file-based accounting to the nodeMel Gorman1-42/+32
There are now a number of accounting oddities such as mapped file pages being accounted for on the node while the total number of file pages are accounted on the zone. This can be coped with to some extent but it's confusing so this patch moves the relevant file-based accounted. Due to throttling logic in the page allocator for reliable OOM detection, it is still necessary to track dirty and writeback pages on a per-zone basis.
