2014-08-06mm: page_alloc: reduce cost of the fair zone allocation policyMel Gorman1-48/+53
The fair zone allocation policy round-robins allocations between zones within a node to avoid age inversion problems during reclaim. If the first allocation fails, the batch counts are reset and a second attempt made before entering the slow path. One assumption made with this scheme is that batches expire at roughly the same time and the resets each time are justified. This assumption does not hold when zones reach their low watermark as the batches will be consumed at uneven rates. Allocation failure due to watermark depletion result in additional zonelist scans for the reset and another watermark check before hitting the slowpath. On UMA, the benefit is negligible -- around 0.25%. On 4-socket NUMA machine it's variable due to the variability of measuring overhead with the vmstat changes. The system CPU overhead comparison looks like 3.16.0-rc3 3.16.0-rc3 3.16.0-rc3 vanilla vmstat-v5 lowercost-v5 User 746.94 774.56 802.00 System 65336.22 32847.27 40852.33 Elapsed 27553.52 27415.04 27368.46 However it is worth noting that the overall benchmark still completed faster and intuitively it makes sense to take as few passes as possible through the zonelists.

2014-08-06mm: page_alloc: abort fair zone allocation policy when remotes nodes are ↵Mel Gorman1-1/+1
encountered The purpose of numa_zonelist_order=zone is to preserve lower zones for use with 32-bit devices. If locality is preferred then the numa_zonelist_order=node policy should be used. Unfortunately, the fair zone allocation policy overrides this by skipping zones on remote nodes until the lower one is found. While this makes sense from a page aging and performance perspective, it breaks the expected zonelist policy. This patch restores the expected behaviour for zone-list ordering.

2014-08-06mm: vmscan: only update per-cpu thresholds for online CPUMel Gorman1-1/+1
When kswapd is awake reclaiming, the per-cpu stat thresholds are lowered to get more accurate counts to avoid breaching watermarks. This threshold update iterates over all possible CPUs which is unnecessary. Only online CPUs need to be updated. If a new CPU is onlined, refresh_zone_stat_thresholds() will set the thresholds correctly.

2014-08-06mm: move zone->pages_scanned into a vmstat counterMel Gorman3-7/+15
zone->pages_scanned is a write-intensive cache line during page reclaim and it's also updated during page free. Move the counter into vmstat to take advantage of the per-cpu updates and do not update it in the free paths unless necessary. On a small UMA machine running tiobench the difference is marginal. On a 4-node machine the overhead is more noticable. Note that automatic NUMA balancing was disabled for this test as otherwise the system CPU overhead is unpredictable. 3.16.0-rc3 3.16.0-rc3 3.16.0-rc3 vanillarearrange-v5 vmstat-v5 User 746.94 759.78 774.56 System 65336.22 58350.98 32847.27 Elapsed 27553.52 27282.02 27415.04 Note that the overhead reduction will vary depending on where exactly pages are allocated and freed.

2014-08-06mm: rearrange zone fields into read-only, page alloc, statistics and page ↵Mel Gorman2-6/+5
reclaim lines The arrangement of struct zone has changed over time and now it has reached the point where there is some inappropriate sharing going on. On x86-64 for example o The zone->node field is shared with the zone lock and zone->node is accessed frequently from the page allocator due to the fair zone allocation policy. o span_seqlock is almost never used by shares a line with free_area o Some zone statistics share a cache line with the LRU lock so reclaim-intensive and allocator-intensive workloads can bounce the cache line on a stat update This patch rearranges struct zone to put read-only and read-mostly fields together and then splits the page allocator intensive fields, the zone statistics and the page reclaim intensive fields into their own cache lines. Note that the type of lowmem_reserve changes due to the watermark calculations being signed and avoiding a signed/unsigned conversion there. On the test configuration I used the overall size of struct zone shrunk by one cache line. On smaller machines, this is not likely to be noticable. However, on a 4-node NUMA machine running tiobench the system CPU overhead is reduced by this patch. 3.16.0-rc3 3.16.0-rc3 vanillarearrange-v5r9 User 746.94 759.78 System 65336.22 58350.98 Elapsed 27553.52 27282.02 Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2014-08-06mm: pagemap: avoid unnecessary overhead when tracepoints are deactivatedMel Gorman1-2/+2
This was formerly the series "Improve sequential read throughput" which noted some major differences in performance of tiobench since 3.0. While there are a number of factors, two that dominated were the introduction of the fair zone allocation policy and changes to CFQ. The behaviour of fair zone allocation policy makes more sense than tiobench as a benchmark and CFQ defaults were not changed due to insufficient benchmarking. This series is what's left. It's one functional fix to the fair zone allocation policy when used on NUMA machines and a reduction of overhead in general. tiobench was used for the comparison despite its flaws as an IO benchmark as in this case we are primarily interested in the overhead of page allocator and page reclaim activity. On UMA, it makes little difference to overhead 3.16.0-rc3 3.16.0-rc3 vanilla lowercost-v5 User 383.61 386.77 System 403.83 401.74 Elapsed 5411.50 5413.11 On a 4-socket NUMA machine it's a bit more noticable 3.16.0-rc3 3.16.0-rc3 vanilla lowercost-v5 User 746.94 802.00 System 65336.22 40852.33 Elapsed 27553.52 27368.46 This patch (of 6): The LRU insertion and activate tracepoints take PFN as a parameter forcing the overhead to the caller.

2014-08-06mm/vmalloc.c: clean up map_vm_area third argumentWANG Chao2-10/+6
Currently map_vm_area() takes (struct page *** pages) as third argument, and after mapping, it moves (*pages) to point to (*pages + nr_mappped_pages). It looks like this kind of increment is useless to its caller these days. The callers don't care about the increments and actually they're trying to avoid this by passing another copy to map_vm_area(). The caller can always guarantee all the pages can be mapped into vm_area as specified in first argument and the caller only cares about whether map_vm_area() fails or not. This patch cleans up the pointer movement in map_vm_area() and updates its callers accordingly.

2014-08-06mm, hugetlb: generalize writes to nr_hugepagesDavid Rientjes1-32/+26
Three different interfaces alter the maximum number of hugepages for an hstate: - /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages for global number of hugepages of the default hstate, - /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-X/nr_hugepages for global number of hugepages for a specific hstate, and - /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-X/nr_hugepages/mempolicy for number of hugepages for a specific hstate over the set of allowed nodes. Generalize the code so that a single function handles all of these writes instead of duplicating the code in two different functions. This decreases the number of lines of code, but also reduces the size of .text by about half a percent since set_max_huge_pages() can be inlined.

2014-08-06hwpoison: fix race with changing page during offliningAndi Kleen1-0/+10
When a hwpoison page is locked it could change state due to parallel modifications. The original compound page can be torn down and then this 4k page becomes part of a differently-size compound page is is a standalone regular page. Check after the lock if the page is still the same compound page. We could go back, grab the new head page and try again but it should be quite rare, so I thought this was safest. A retry loop would be more difficult to test and may have more side effects. The hwpoison code by design only tries to handle cases that are reasonably common in workloads, as visible in page-flags. I'm not really that concerned about handling this (likely rare case), just not crashing on it.

2014-08-06mm: export NR_SHMEM via sysinfo(2) / si_meminfo() interfacesRafael Aquini1-1/+2
Historically, we exported shared pages to userspace via sysinfo(2) sharedram and /proc/meminfo's "MemShared" fields. With the advent of tmpfs, from kernel v2.4 onward, that old way for accounting shared mem was deemed inaccurate and we started to export a hard-coded 0 for sysinfo.sharedram. Later on, during the 2.6 timeframe, "MemShared" got re-introduced to /proc/meminfo re-branded as "Shmem", but we're still reporting sysinfo.sharedmem as that old hard-coded zero, which makes the "shared memory" report inconsistent across interfaces. This patch leverages the addition of explicit accounting for pages used by shmem/tmpfs -- "4b02108 mm: oom analysis: add shmem vmstat" -- in order to make the users of sysinfo(2) and si_meminfo*() friends aware of that vmstat entry and make them report it consistently across the interfaces, as well to make sysinfo(2) returned data consistent with our current API documentation states.

But ever since commit 38c5d72f3ebe ("memcg: simplify LRU handling by new rule"), pages are ensured to be off-LRU while charging, so nobody else is changing LRU state while pc->mem_cgroup is being written, and there are no read barriers anymore. Remove the unnecessary write barrier.

2014-08-06mm: memcontrol: use root_mem_cgroup res_counterJohannes Weiner1-108/+44
Due to an old optimization to keep expensive res_counter changes at a minimum, the root_mem_cgroup res_counter is never charged; there is no limit at that level anyway, and any statistics can be generated on demand by summing up the counters of all other cgroups. However, with per-cpu charge caches, res_counter operations do not even show up in profiles anymore, so this optimization is no longer necessary. Remove it to simplify the code.

2014-08-06mm: memcontrol: catch root bypass in move prechargeJohannes Weiner1-1/+8
When mem_cgroup_try_charge() returns -EINTR, it bypassed the charge to the root memcg. But move precharging does not catch this and treats this case as if no charge had happened, thus leaking a charge against root. Because of an old optimization, the root memcg's res_counter is not actually charged right now, but it's still an imbalance and subsequent patches will charge the root memcg again. Catch those bypasses to the root memcg and properly cancel them before giving up the move.

2014-08-06mm: memcontrol: simplify move precharge functionJohannes Weiner1-33/+15
The move precharge function does some baroque things: it tries raw res_counter charging of the entire amount first, and then falls back to a loop of one-by-one charges, with checks for pending signals and cond_resched() batching. Just use mem_cgroup_try_charge() without __GFP_WAIT for the first bulk charge attempt. In the one-by-one loop, remove the signal check (this is already checked in try_charge), and simply call cond_resched() after every charge - it's not that expensive.

2014-08-06mm: memcontrol: remove explicit OOM parameter in charge pathMichal Hocko1-22/+10
For the page allocator, __GFP_NORETRY implies that no OOM should be triggered, whereas memcg has an explicit parameter to disable OOM. The only callsites that want OOM disabled are THP charges and charge moving. THP already uses __GFP_NORETRY and charge moving can use it as well - one full reclaim cycle should be plenty. Switch it over, then remove the OOM parameter.

2014-08-06mm: huge_memory: use GFP_TRANSHUGE when charging huge pagesJohannes Weiner1-3/+3
Transparent huge page charges prefer falling back to regular pages rather than spending a lot of time in direct reclaim. Desired reclaim behavior is usually declared in the gfp mask, but THP charges use GFP_KERNEL and then rely on the fact that OOM is disabled for THP charges, and that OOM-disabled charges don't retry reclaim. Needless to say, this is anything but obvious and quite error prone. Convert THP charges to use GFP_TRANSHUGE instead, which implies __GFP_NORETRY, to indicate the low-latency requirement.

Rearrange this code to run OOM/task dying checks only after trying the percpu charge and the res_counter charge and bail out before entering reclaim.

These patches rework memcg charge lifetime to integrate more naturally with the lifetime of user pages. This drastically simplifies the code and reduces charging and uncharging overhead. The most expensive part of charging and uncharging is the page_cgroup bit spinlock, which is removed entirely after this series.

2014-08-06mm, thp: replace smp_mb after atomic_add by smp_mb__after_atomicWaiman Long1-1/+1
In some architectures like x86, atomic_add() is a full memory barrier. In that case, an additional smp_mb() is just a waste of time. This patch replaces that smp_mb() by smp_mb__after_atomic() which will avoid the redundant memory barrier in some architectures. With a 3.16-rc1 based kernel, this patch reduced the execution time of breaking 1000 transparent huge pages from 38,245us to 30,964us. A reduction of 19% which is quite sizeable.

In __split_huge_page_map(), the check for page_mapcount(page) is invariant within the for loop. Because of the fact that the macro is implemented using atomic_read(), the redundant check cannot be optimized away by the compiler leading to unnecessary read to the page structure. This patch moves the invariant bug check out of the loop so that it will be done only once. On a 3.16-rc1 based kernel, the execution time of a microbenchmark that broke up 1000 transparent huge pages using munmap() had an execution time of 38,245us and 38,548us with and without the patch respectively.

2014-08-06CMA: generalize CMA reserved area management functionalityJoonsoo Kim3-0/+345
Currently, there are two users on CMA functionality, one is the DMA subsystem and the other is the KVM on powerpc. They have their own code to manage CMA reserved area even if they looks really similar. From my guess, it is caused by some needs on bitmap management. KVM side wants to maintain bitmap not for 1 page, but for more size. Eventually it use bitmap where one bit represents 64 pages. When I implement CMA related patches, I should change those two places to apply my change and it seem to be painful to me. I want to change this situation and reduce future code management overhead through this patch. This change could also help developer who want to use CMA in their new feature development, since they can use CMA easily without copying & pasting this reserved area management code. In previous patches, we have prepared some features to generalize CMA reserved area management and now it's time to do it. This patch moves core functions to mm/cma.c and change DMA APIs to use these functions. There is no functional change in DMA APIs.

Use ACCESS_ONCE() in handle_pte_fault() when getting the entry or orig_pte upon which all subsequent decisions and pte_same() tests will be made.

But I have found no other explanation, and ACCESS_ONCE() here will surely not hurt. If gcc does re-access the pte before passing it down, then that would be disastrous for correct page fault handling, and certainly could explain the page_mapped() BUGs seen (concurrent fault causing page to be mapped in a second time on top of itself: mapcount 2 for a single pte).
