2016-05-19mm, page_alloc: avoid unnecessary zone lookups during pageblock operationsMel Gorman1-13/+9
Pageblocks have an associated bitmap to store migrate types and whether the pageblock should be skipped during compaction. The bitmap may be associated with a memory section or a zone but the zone is looked up unconditionally. The compiler should optimise this away automatically so this is a cosmetic patch only in many cases.

2016-05-19mm, page_alloc: use __dec_zone_state for order-0 page allocationMel Gorman1-1/+2

2016-05-19mm, page_alloc: inline the fast path of the zonelist iteratorMel Gorman2-18/+10
The page allocator iterates through a zonelist for zones that match the addressing limitations and nodemask of the caller but many allocations will not be restricted. Despite this, there is always functional call overhead which builds up. This patch inlines the optimistic basic case and only calls the iterator function for the complex case. A hindrance was the fact that cpuset_current_mems_allowed is used in the fastpath as the allowed nodemask even though all nodes are allowed on most systems. The patch handles this by only considering cpuset_current_mems_allowed if a cpuset exists. As well as being faster in the fast-path, this removes some junk in the slowpath.

2016-05-19mm, page_alloc: only check PageCompound for high-order pagesMel Gorman1-8/+17
Another year, another round of page allocator optimisations focusing this time on the alloc and free fast paths. This should be of help to workloads that are allocator-intensive from kernel space where the cost of zeroing is not nceessraily incurred. The series is motivated by the observation that page alloc microbenchmarks on multiple machines regressed between 3.12.44 and 4.4. Second, there is discussions before LSF/MM considering the possibility of adding another page allocator which is potentially hazardous but a patch series improving performance is better than whining. After the series is applied, there are still hazards. In the free paths, the debugging checking and page zone/pageblock lookups dominate but there was not an obvious solution to that. In the alloc path, the major contributers are dealing with zonelists, new page preperation, the fair zone allocation and numerous statistic updates. The fair zone allocator is removed by the per-node LRU series if that gets merged so it's nor a major concern at the moment. On normal userspace benchmarks, there is little impact as the zeroing cost is significant but it's visible aim9 4.6.0-rc3 4.6.0-rc3 vanilla deferalloc-v3 Min page_test 828693.33 ( 0.00%) 887060.00 (

2016-05-19mm, oom_reaper: clear TIF_MEMDIE for all tasks queued for oom_reaperMichal Hocko1-6/+11
Right now the oom reaper will clear TIF_MEMDIE only for tasks which were successfully reaped. This is the safest option because we know that such an oom victim would only block forward progress of the oom killer without a good reason because it is highly unlikely it would release much more memory. Basically most of its memory has been already torn down. We can relax this assumption to catch more corner cases though. The first obvious one is when the oom victim clears its mm and gets stuck later on. oom_reaper would back of on find_lock_task_mm returning NULL. We can safely try to clear TIF_MEMDIE in this case because such a task would be ignored by the oom killer anyway. The flag would be cleared by that time already most of the time anyway. The less obvious one is when the oom reaper fails due to mmap_sem contention. Even if we clear TIF_MEMDIE for this task then it is not very likely that we would select another task too easily because we haven't reaped the last victim and so it would be still the #1 candidate. There is a rare race condition possible when the current victim terminates before the next select_bad_process but considering that oom_reap_task had retried several times before giving up then this sounds like a borderline thing. After this patch we should have a guarantee that the OOM killer will not be block for unbounded amount of time for most cases.

2016-05-19oom, oom_reaper: try to reap tasks which skip regular OOM killer pathMichal Hocko2-18/+69
If either the current task is already killed or PF_EXITING or a selected task is PF_EXITING then the oom killer is suppressed and so is the oom reaper. This patch adds try_oom_reaper which checks the given task and queues it for the oom reaper if that is safe to be done meaning that the task doesn't share the mm with an alive process. This might help to release the memory pressure while the task tries to exit.

2016-05-19mm, oom: move GFP_NOFS check to out_of_memoryMichal Hocko2-14/+19
__alloc_pages_may_oom is the central place to decide when the out_of_memory should be invoked. This is a good approach for most checks there because they are page allocator specific and the allocation fails right after for all of them. The notable exception is GFP_NOFS context which is faking did_some_progress and keep the page allocator looping even though there couldn't have been any progress from the OOM killer. This patch doesn't change this behavior because we are not ready to allow those allocation requests to fail yet (and maybe we will face the reality that we will never manage to safely fail these request). Instead __GFP_FS check is moved down to out_of_memory and prevent from OOM victim selection there. There are two reasons for that - OOM notifiers might release some memory even from this context as none of the registered notifier seems to be FS related - this might help a dying thread to get an access to memory reserves and move on which will make the behavior more consistent with the case when the task gets killed from a different context. Keep a comment in __alloc_pages_may_oom to make sure we do not forget how GFP_NOFS is special and that we really want to do something about it. Note to the current oom_notifier users: The observable difference for you is that oom notifiers cannot depend on any fs locks because we could deadlock. Not that this would be allowed today because that would just lockup machine in most of the cases and ruling out the OOM killer along the way. Another difference is that callbacks might be invoked sooner now because GFP_NOFS is a weaker reclaim context and so there could be reclaimable memory which is just not reachable now. That would require GFP_NOFS only loads which are really rare and more importantly the observable result would be dropping of reconstructible object and potential performance drop which is not such a big deal when we are struggling to fulfill other important allocation requests.

2016-05-19memory_hotplug: introduce CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINEVitaly Kuznetsov2-0/+20
This patchset continues the work I started with commit 31bc3858ea3e ("memory-hotplug: add automatic onlining policy for the newly added memory"). Initially I was going to stop there and bring the policy setting logic to userspace. I met two issues on this way: 1) It is possible to have memory hotplugged at boot (e.g. with QEMU). These blocks stay offlined if we turn the onlining policy on by userspace. 2) My attempt to bring this policy setting to systemd failed, systemd maintainers suggest to change the default in kernel or ... to use tmpfiles.d to alter the policy (which looks like a hack to me): https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/2938 Here I suggest to add a config option to set the default value for the policy and a kernel command line parameter to make the override. This patch (of 2): Introduce config option to set the default value for memory hotplug onlining policy (/sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks). The reason one would want to turn this option on are to have early onlining for hotpluggable memory available at boot and to not require any userspace actions to make memory hotplug work.

2016-05-19mm: /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh to force vmstat updateHugh Dickins1-0/+60
Provide /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh to force an immediate update of per-cpu into global vmstats: useful to avoid a sleep(2) or whatever before checking counts when testing. Originally added to work around a bug which left counts stranded indefinitely on a cpu going idle (an inaccuracy magnified when small below-batch numbers represent "huge" amounts of memory), but I believe that bug is now fixed: nonetheless, this is still a useful knob. Its schedule_on_each_cpu() is probably too expensive just to fold into reading /proc/meminfo itself: give this mode 0600 to prevent abuse. Allow a write or a read to do the same: nothing to read, but "grep -h Shmem /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh /proc/meminfo" is convenient. Oh, and since global_page_state() itself is careful to disguise any underflow as 0, hack in an "Invalid argument" and pr_warn() if a counter is negative after the refresh - this helped to fix a misaccounting of NR_ISOLATED_FILE in my migration code. But on recent kernels, I find that NR_ALLOC_BATCH and NR_PAGES_SCANNED often go negative some of the time. I have not yet worked out why, but have no evidence that it's actually harmful. Punt for the moment by just ignoring the anomaly on those. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: "Kirill A.

2016-05-19tmpfs: mem_cgroup charge fault to vm_mm not current mmAndres Lagar-Cavilla1-27/+34
Although shmem_fault() has been careful to count a major fault to vm_mm, shmem_getpage_gfp() has been careless in charging a remote access fault to current->mm owner's memcg instead of to vma->vm_mm owner's memcg: that is inconsistent with all the mem_cgroup charging on remote access faults in mm/memory.c. Fix it by passing fault_mm along with fault_type to shmem_get_page_gfp(); but in that case, now knowing the right mm, it's better for it to handle the PGMAJFAULT updates itself. And let's keep this clutter out of most callers' way: change the common shmem_getpage() wrapper to hide fault_mm and fault_type as well as gfp.

2016-05-19tmpfs: preliminary minor tidyupsHugh Dickins1-43/+26
Make a few cleanups in mm/shmem.c, before going on to complicate it. shmem_alloc_page() will become more complicated: we can't afford to to have that complication duplicated between a CONFIG_NUMA version and a !CONFIG_NUMA version, so rearrange the #ifdef'ery there to yield a single shmem_swapin() and a single shmem_alloc_page(). Yes, it's a shame to inflict the horrid pseudo-vma on non-NUMA configurations, but eliminating it is a larger cleanup: I have an alloc_pages_mpol() patchset not yet ready - mpol handling is subtle and bug-prone, and changed yet again since my last version. Move __SetPageLocked, __SetPageSwapBacked from shmem_getpage_gfp() to shmem_alloc_page(): that SwapBacked flag will be useful in future, to help to distinguish different cases appropriately. And the SGP_DIRTY variant of SGP_CACHE is hard to understand and of little use (IIRC it dates back to when shmem_getpage() returned the page unlocked): kill it and do the necessary in shmem_file_read_iter(). But an arm64 build then complained that info may be uninitialized (where shmem_getpage_gfp() deletes a freshly alloced page beyond eof), and advancing to an "sgp <= SGP_CACHE" test jogged it back to reality.

2016-05-19mm: use __SetPageSwapBacked and dont ClearPageSwapBackedHugh Dickins4-8/+7
v3.16 commit 07a427884348 ("mm: shmem: avoid atomic operation during shmem_getpage_gfp") rightly replaced one instance of SetPageSwapBacked by __SetPageSwapBacked, pointing out that the newly allocated page is not yet visible to other users (except speculative get_page_unless_zero- ers, who may not update page flags before their further checks). That was part of a series in which Mel was focused on tmpfs profiles: but almost all SetPageSwapBacked uses can be so optimized, with the same justification. Remove ClearPageSwapBacked from __read_swap_cache_async() error path: it's not an error to free a page with PG_swapbacked set. Follow a convention of __SetPageLocked, __SetPageSwapBacked instead of doing it differently in different places; but that's for tidiness - if the ordering actually mattered, we should not be using the __variants. There's probably scope for further __SetPageFlags in other places, but SwapBacked is the one I'm interested in at the moment. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: "Kirill A.

2016-05-19mm: update_lru_size do the __mod_zone_page_stateHugh Dickins2-13/+12
Konstantin Khlebnikov pointed out (nearly four years ago, when lumpy reclaim was removed) that lru_size can be updated by -nr_taken once per call to isolate_lru_pages(), instead of page by page. Update it inside isolate_lru_pages(), or at its two callsites? I chose to update it at the callsites, rearranging and grouping the updates by nr_taken and nr_scanned together in both. With one exception, mem_cgroup_update_lru_size(,lru,) is then used where __mod_zone_page_state(,NR_LRU_BASE+lru,) is used; and we shall be adding some more calls in a future commit. Make the code a little smaller and simpler by incorporating stat update in lru_size update. The exception was move_active_pages_to_lru(), which aggregated the pgmoved stat update separately from the individual lru_size updates; but I still think this a simplification worth making. However, the __mod_zone_page_state is not peculiar to mem_cgroups: so better use the name update_lru_size, calls mem_cgroup_update_lru_size when CONFIG_MEMCG.

2016-05-19mm: update_lru_size warn and reset bad lru_sizeHugh Dickins1-4/+20
Though debug kernels have a VM_BUG_ON to help protect from misaccounting lru_size, non-debug kernels are liable to wrap it around: and then the vast unsigned long size draws page reclaim into a loop of repeatedly doing nothing on an empty list, without even a cond_resched(). That soft lockup looks confusingly like an over-busy reclaim scenario, with lots of contention on the lru_lock in shrink_inactive_list(): yet has a totally different origin. Help differentiate with a custom warning in mem_cgroup_update_lru_size(), even in non-debug kernels; and reset the size to avoid the lockup. But the particular bug which suggested this change was mine alone, and since fixed.

This patchset deals with some problematic sites that iterate pfn ranges. There is a system thats node's pfns are overlapped as follows: -----pfn--------> N0 N1 N2 N0 N1 N2 Therefore, we need to take care of this overlapping when iterating pfn range. I audit many iterating sites that uses pfn_valid(), pfn_valid_within(), zone_start_pfn and etc. and others looks safe to me. This is a preparation step for a new CMA implementation, ZONE_CMA (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/12/95), because it would be easily overlapped with other zones. But, zone overlap check is also needed for the general case so I send it separately. This patch (of 5): alloc_gigantic_page() uses alloc_contig_range() and this requires that the requested range is in a single zone. To satisfy this requirement, add this check to pfn_range_valid_gigantic().

2016-05-19mm, compaction: skip blocks where isolation fails in async direct compactionVlastimil Babka1-9/+80
The goal of direct compaction is to quickly make a high-order page available for the pending allocation. Within an aligned block of pages of desired order, a single allocated page that cannot be isolated for migration means that the block cannot fully merge to a buddy page that would satisfy the allocation request. Therefore we can reduce the allocation stall by skipping the rest of the block immediately on isolation failure. For async compaction, this also means a higher chance of succeeding until it detects contention. We however shouldn't completely sacrifice the second objective of compaction, which is to reduce overal long-term memory fragmentation. As a compromise, perform the eager skipping only in direct async compaction, while sync compaction (including kcompactd) remains thorough. Testing was done using stress-highalloc from mmtests, configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations: 4.6-rc1 4.6-rc1 before after Success 1 Min 24.00 ( 0.00%) 27.00 (-12.50%) Success 1 Mean 30.20 ( 0.00%) 31.60 ( -4.64%) Success 1 Max 37.00 ( 0.00%) 35.00 ( 5.41%) Success 2 Min 42.00 ( 0.00%) 32.00 ( 23.81%) Success 2 Mean 44.00 ( 0.00%) 44.80 ( -1.82%) Success 2 Max 48.00 ( 0.00%) 52.00 ( -8.33%) Success 3 Min 91.00 ( 0.00%) 92.00 ( -1.10%) Success 3 Mean 92.20 ( 0.00%) 92.80 ( -0.65%) Success 3 Max 94.00 ( 0.00%) 93.00 ( 1.06%) We can see that success rates are unaffected by the skipping. 4.6-rc1 4.6-rc1 before after User 2587.42 2566.53 System 482.89 471.20 Elapsed 1395.68 1382.00 Times are not so useful metric for this benchmark as main portion is the interfering kernel builds, but results do hint at reduced system times. 4.6-rc1 4.6-rc1 before after Direct pages scanned 163614 159608 Kswapd pages scanned 2070139 2078790 Kswapd pages reclaimed 2061707 2069757 Direct pages reclaimed 163354 159505 Reduced direct reclaim was unintended, but could be explained by more successful first attempt at (async) direct compaction, which is attempted before the first reclaim attempt in __alloc_pages_slowpath().

2016-05-19mm, compaction: reduce spurious pcplist drainsVlastimil Babka1-11/+9
Compaction drains the local pcplists each time migration scanner moves away from a cc->order aligned block where it isolated pages for migration, so that the pages freed by migrations can merge into higher orders. The detection is currently coarser than it could be. The cc->last_migrated_pfn variable should track the lowest pfn that was isolated for migration. But it is set to the pfn where isolate_migratepages_block() starts scanning, which is typically the first pfn of the pageblock. There, the scanner might fail to isolate several order-aligned blocks, and then isolate COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX in another block. This would cause the pcplists drain to be performed, although the scanner didn't yet finish the block where it isolated from. This patch thus makes cc->last_migrated_pfn handling more accurate by setting it to the pfn of an actually isolated page in isolate_migratepages_block(). Although practical effects of this patch are likely low, it arguably makes the intent of the code more obvious. Also the next patch will make async direct compaction skip blocks more aggressively, and draining pcplists due to skipped blocks is wasteful.

2016-05-19mm, compaction: wrap calculating first and last pfn of pageblockVlastimil Babka1-14/+19
Compaction code has accumulated numerous instances of manual calculations of the first (inclusive) and last (exclusive) pfn of a pageblock (or a smaller block of given order), given a pfn within the pageblock. Wrap these calculations by introducing pageblock_start_pfn(pfn) and pageblock_end_pfn(pfn) macros.

2016-05-19mm/hugetlb: introduce hugetlb_bad_size()Vaishali Thakkar1-1/+13
When any unsupported hugepage size is specified, 'hugepagesz=' and 'hugepages=' should be ignored during command line parsing until any supported hugepage size is found. But currently incorrect number of hugepages are allocated when unsupported size is specified as it fails to ignore the 'hugepages=' command. Test case: Note that this is specific to x86 architecture. Boot the kernel with command line option 'hugepagesz=256M hugepages=X'. After boot, dmesg output shows that X number of hugepages of the size 2M is pre-allocated instead of 0. So, to handle such command line options, introduce new routine hugetlb_bad_size. The routine hugetlb_bad_size sets the global variable parsed_valid_hugepagesz. We are using parsed_valid_hugepagesz to save the state when unsupported hugepagesize is found so that we can ignore the 'hugepages=' parameters after that and then reset the variable when supported hugepage size is found. The routine hugetlb_bad_size can be called while setting 'hugepagesz=' parameter in an architecture specific code.

2016-05-19mm/hugetlb: optimize minimum size (min_size) accountingMike Kravetz1-2/+4
It was observed that minimum size accounting associated with the hugetlbfs min_size mount option may not perform optimally and as expected. As huge pages/reservations are released from the filesystem and given back to the global pools, they are reserved for subsequent filesystem use as long as the subpool reserved count is less than subpool minimum size. It does not take into account used pages within the filesystem. The filesystem size limits are not exceeded and this is technically not a bug. However, better behavior would be to wait for the number of used pages/reservations associated with the filesystem to drop below the minimum size before taking reservations to satisfy minimum size. An optimization is also made to the hugepage_subpool_get_pages() routine which is called when pages/reservations are allocated. This does not change behavior, but simply avoids the accounting if all reservations have already been taken (subpool reserved count == 0).

2016-05-19mm: SLAB freelist randomizationThomas Garnier1-2/+165
Provides an optional config (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM) to randomize the SLAB freelist. 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. Before pre-computed lists are available freelists are generated dynamically. This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLAB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable. For example this attack against SLUB (also applicable against SLAB) would be affected: https://jon.oberheide.org/blog/2010/09/10/linux-kernel-can-slub-overflow/ Also, since v4.6 the freelist was moved at the end of the SLAB. It means a controllable heap is opened to new attacks not yet publicly discussed. A kernel heap overflow can be transformed to multiple use-after-free. This feature makes this type of attack harder too. To generate entropy, we use get_random_bytes_arch because 0 bits of entropy is available in the boot stage. In the worse case this function will fallback to the get_random_bytes sub API. We also generate a shift random number to shift pre-computed freelist for each new set of pages. The config option name is not specific to the SLAB as this approach will be extended to other allocators like SLUB. Performance results highlighted no major changes: Hackbench (running 90 10 times): Before average: 0.0698 After average: 0.0663 (-5.01%) slab_test 1 run on boot. Difference only seen on the 2048 size test being the worse case scenario covered by freelist randomization. New slab pages are constantly being created on the 10000 allocations.

2016-05-19mm/slub.c: replace kick_all_cpus_sync() with synchronize_sched() in ↵Vladimir Davydov1-1/+1
kmem_cache_shrink() When we call __kmem_cache_shrink on memory cgroup removal, we need to synchronize kmem_cache->cpu_partial update with put_cpu_partial that might be running on other cpus. Currently, we achieve that by using kick_all_cpus_sync, which works as a system wide memory barrier. Though fast it is, this method has a flaw - it issues a lot of IPIs, which might hurt high performance or real-time workloads. To fix this, let's replace kick_all_cpus_sync with synchronize_sched. Although the latter one may take much longer to finish, it shouldn't be a problem in this particular case, because memory cgroups are destroyed asynchronously from a workqueue so that no user visible effects should be introduced. OTOH, it will save us from excessive IPIs when someone removes a cgroup. Anyway, even if using synchronize_sched turns out to take too long, we can always introduce a kind of __kmem_cache_shrink batching so that this method would only be called once per one cgroup destruction (not per each per memcg kmem cache as it is now).

2016-05-19mm/slab: lockless decision to grow cacheJoonsoo Kim1-3/+18
To check whether free objects exist or not precisely, we need to grab a lock. But, accuracy isn't that important because race window would be even small and if there is too much free object, cache reaper would reap it. So, this patch makes the check for free object exisistence not to hold a lock. This will reduce lock contention in heavily allocation case. Note that until now, n->shared can be freed during the processing by writing slabinfo, but, with some trick in this patch, we can access it freely within interrupt disabled period. Below is the result of concurrent allocation/free in slab allocation benchmark made by Christoph a long time ago. I make the output simpler. The number shows cycle count during alloc/free respectively so less is better. * Before Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=248/966 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=261/949 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=314/1016 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=741/1061 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=1246/1152 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=2437/1259 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=4980/1800 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=9000/2078 * After Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=344/792 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=347/882 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=390/959 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=393/1067 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=683/1229 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=1295/1325 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=2513/1664 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=4742/2172 It shows that allocation performance decreases for the object size up to 128 and it may be due to extra checks in cache_alloc_refill(). But, with considering improvement of free performance, net result looks the same. Result for other size class looks very promising, roughly, 50% performance improvement.
