2012-01-10mempool: fix first round failure behaviorTejun Heo
mempool modifies gfp_mask so that the backing allocator doesn't try too hard or trigger warning message when there's pool to fall back on. In addition, for the first try, it removes __GFP_WAIT and IO, so that it doesn't trigger reclaim or wait when allocation can be fulfilled from pool; however, when that allocation fails and pool is empty too, it waits for the pool to be replenished before retrying. Allocation which could have succeeded after a bit of reclaim has to wait on the reserved items and it's not like mempool doesn't retry with __GFP_WAIT and IO. It just does that *after* someone returns an element, pointlessly delaying things. Fix it by retrying immediately if the first round of allocation attempts w/o __GFP_WAIT and IO fails.

2012-01-10mempool: drop unnecessary and incorrect BUG_ON() from mempool_destroy()Tejun Heo
mempool_destroy() is a thin wrapper around free_pool(). The only thing it adds is BUG_ON(pool->curr_nr != pool->min_nr). The intention seems to be to enforce that all allocated elements are freed; however, the BUG_ON() can't achieve that (it doesn't know anything about objects above min_nr) and incorrect as mempool_resize() is allowed to leave the pool extended but not filled. Furthermore, panicking is way worse than any memory leak and there are better debug tools to track memory leaks. Drop the BUG_ON() from mempool_destory() and as that leaves the function identical to free_pool(), replace it.

2012-01-10mempool: fix and document synchronization and memory barrier usageTejun Heo
mempool_alloc/free() use undocumented smp_mb()'s. The code is slightly broken and misleading. The lockless part is in mempool_free(). It wants to determine whether the item being freed needs to be returned to the pool or backing allocator without grabbing pool->lock. Two things need to be guaranteed for correct operation. 1. pool->curr_nr + #allocated should never dip below pool->min_nr. 2. Waiters shouldn't be left dangling. For #1, The only necessary condition is that curr_nr visible at free is from after the allocation of the element being freed (details in the comment). For most cases, this is true without any barrier but there can be fringe cases where the allocated pointer is passed to the freeing task without going through memory barriers. To cover this case, wmb is necessary before returning from allocation and rmb is necessary before reading curr_nr. IOW, ALLOCATING TASK FREEING TASK update pool state after alloc; wmb(); pass pointer to freeing task; read pointer; rmb(); read pool state to free; The current code doesn't have wmb after pool update during allocation and may theoretically, on machines where unlock doesn't behave as full wmb, lead to pool depletion and deadlock. smp_wmb() needs to be added after successful allocation from reserved elements and smp_mb() in mempool_free() can be replaced with smp_rmb(). For #2, the waiter needs to add itself to waitqueue and then check the wait condition and the waker needs to update the wait condition and then wake up. Because waitqueue operations always go through full spinlock synchronization, there is no need for extra memory barriers. Furthermore, mempool_alloc() is already holding pool->lock when it decides that it needs to wait. There is no reason to do unlock - add waitqueue - test condition again. It can simply add itself to waitqueue while holding pool->lock and then unlock and sleep. This patch adds smp_wmb() after successful allocation from reserved pool, replaces smp_mb() in mempool_free() with smp_rmb() and extend pool->lock over waitqueue addition. More importantly, it explains what memory barriers do and how the lockless testing is correct. -v2: Oleg pointed out that unlock doesn't imply wmb. Added explicit smp_wmb() after successful allocation from reserved pool and updated comments accordingly. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: "Paul E.

2012-01-10mm: bootmem: drop superfluous range check when freeing pages in bulkJohannes Weiner
The area node_bootmem_map represents is aligned to BITS_PER_LONG, and all bits in any aligned word of that map valid. When the represented area extends beyond the end of the node, the non-existant pages will be marked as reserved. As a result, when freeing a page block, doing an explicit range check for whether that block is within the node's range is redundant as the bitmap is consulted anyway to see whether all pages in the block are unreserved.

2012-01-10mremap: enforce rmap src/dst vma ordering in case of vma_merge() succeeding ↵Andrea Arcangeli
in copy_vma() migrate was doing an rmap_walk with speculative lock-less access on pagetables. That could lead it to not serializing properly against mremap PT locks. But a second problem remains in the order of vmas in the same_anon_vma list used by the rmap_walk. If vma_merge succeeds in copy_vma, the src vma could be placed after the dst vma in the same_anon_vma list. That could still lead to migrate missing some pte. This patch adds an anon_vma_moveto_tail() function to force the dst vma at the end of the list before mremap starts to solve the problem. If the mremap is very large and there are a lots of parents or childs sharing the anon_vma root lock, this should still scale better than taking the anon_vma root lock around every pte copy practically for the whole duration of mremap. Update: Hugh noticed special care is needed in the error path where move_page_tables goes in the reverse direction, a second anon_vma_moveto_tail() call is needed in the error path. This program exercises the anon_vma_moveto_tail: === int main() { static struct timeval oldstamp, newstamp; long diffsec; char *p, *p2, *p3, *p4; if (posix_memalign((void **)&p, 2*1024*1024, SIZE)) perror("memalign"), exit(1); if (posix_memalign((void **)&p2, 2*1024*1024, SIZE)) perror("memalign"), exit(1); if (posix_memalign((void **)&p3, 2*1024*1024, SIZE)) perror("memalign"), exit(1); memset(p, 0xff, SIZE); printf("%p\n", p); memset(p2, 0xff, SIZE); memset(p3, 0x77, 4096); if (memcmp(p, p2, SIZE)) printf("error\n"); p4 = mremap(p+SIZE/2, SIZE/2, SIZE/2, MREMAP_FIXED|MREMAP_MAYMOVE, p3); if (p4 != p3) perror("mremap"), exit(1); p4 = mremap(p4, SIZE/2, SIZE/2, MREMAP_FIXED|MREMAP_MAYMOVE, p+SIZE/2); if (p4 != p+SIZE/2) perror("mremap"), exit(1); if (memcmp(p, p2, SIZE)) printf("error\n"); printf("ok\n"); return 0; } === $ perf probe -a anon_vma_moveto_tail Add new event: probe:anon_vma_moveto_tail (on anon_vma_moveto_tail) You can now use it on all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:anon_vma_moveto_tail -aR sleep 1 $ perf record -e probe:anon_vma_moveto_tail -aR ./anon_vma_moveto_tail 0x7f2ca2800000 ok [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.043 MB perf.data (~1860 samples) ] $ perf report --stdio 100.00% anon_vma_moveto [kernel.kallsyms] [k] anon_vma_moveto_tail Signed-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Reported-by: Nai Xia <nai.xia@gmail.com> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Pawel Sikora <pluto@agmk.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2012-01-10mm: try to distribute dirty pages fairly across zonesJohannes Weiner
The maximum number of dirty pages that exist in the system at any time is determined by a number of pages considered dirtyable and a user-configured percentage of those, or an absolute number in bytes. This number of dirtyable pages is the sum of memory provided by all the zones in the system minus their lowmem reserves and high watermarks, so that the system can retain a healthy number of free pages without having to reclaim dirty pages. But there is a flaw in that we have a zoned page allocator which does not care about the global state but rather the state of individual memory zones. And right now there is nothing that prevents one zone from filling up with dirty pages while other zones are spared, which frequently leads to situations where kswapd, in order to restore the watermark of free pages, does indeed have to write pages from that zone's LRU list. This can interfere so badly with IO from the flusher threads that major filesystems (btrfs, xfs, ext4) mostly ignore write requests from reclaim already, taking away the VM's only possibility to keep such a zone balanced, aside from hoping the flushers will soon clean pages from that zone. Enter per-zone dirty limits. They are to a zone's dirtyable memory what the global limit is to the global amount of dirtyable memory, and try to make sure that no single zone receives more than its fair share of the globally allowed dirty pages in the first place. As the number of pages considered dirtyable excludes the zones' lowmem reserves and high watermarks, the maximum number of dirty pages in a zone is such that the zone can always be balanced without requiring page cleaning. As this is a placement decision in the page allocator and pages are dirtied only after the allocation, this patch allows allocators to pass __GFP_WRITE when they know in advance that the page will be written to and become dirty soon. The page allocator will then attempt to allocate from the first zone of the zonelist - which on NUMA is determined by the task's NUMA memory policy - that has not exceeded its dirty limit. At first glance, it would appear that the diversion to lower zones can increase pressure on them, but this is not the case. With a full high zone, allocations will be diverted to lower zones eventually, so it is more of a shift in timing of the lower zone allocations. Workloads that previously could fit their dirty pages completely in the higher zone may be forced to allocate from lower zones, but the amount of pages that "spill over" are limited themselves by the lower zones' dirty constraints, and thus unlikely to become a problem. For now, the problem of unfair dirty page distribution remains for NUMA configurations where the zones allowed for allocation are in sum not big enough to trigger the global dirty limits, wake up the flusher threads and remedy the situation. Because of this, an allocation that could not succeed on any of the considered zones is allowed to ignore the dirty limits before going into direct reclaim or even failing the allocation, until a future patch changes the global dirty throttling and flusher thread activation so that they take individual zone states into account.

2012-01-10mm: writeback: cleanups in preparation for per-zone dirty limitsJohannes Weiner
The next patch will introduce per-zone dirty limiting functions in addition to the traditional global dirty limiting. Rename determine_dirtyable_memory() to global_dirtyable_memory() before adding the zone-specific version, and fix up its documentation. Also, move the functions to determine the dirtyable memory and the function to calculate the dirty limit based on that together so that their relationship is more apparent and that they can be commented on as a group.

2012-01-10mm: exclude reserved pages from dirtyable memoryJohannes Weiner
Per-zone dirty limits try to distribute page cache pages allocated for writing across zones in proportion to the individual zone sizes, to reduce the likelihood of reclaim having to write back individual pages from the LRU lists in order to make progress. This patch: The amount of dirtyable pages should not include the full number of free pages: there is a number of reserved pages that the page allocator and kswapd always try to keep free. The closer (reclaimable pages - dirty pages) is to the number of reserved pages, the more likely it becomes for reclaim to run into dirty pages: +----------+ --- | anon | | +----------+ | | | | | | -- dirty limit new -- flusher new | file | | | | | | | | | -- dirty limit old -- flusher old | | | +----------+ --- reclaim | reserved | +----------+ | kernel | +----------+ This patch introduces a per-zone dirty reserve that takes both the lowmem reserve as well as the high watermark of the zone into account, and a global sum of those per-zone values that is subtracted from the global amount of dirtyable pages. The lowmem reserve is unavailable to page cache allocations and kswapd tries to keep the high watermark free. We don't want to end up in a situation where reclaim has to clean pages in order to balance zones. Not treating reserved pages as dirtyable on a global level is only a conceptual fix. In reality, dirty pages are not distributed equally across zones and reclaim runs into dirty pages on a regular basis. But it is important to get this right before tackling the problem on a per-zone level, where the distance between reclaim and the dirty pages is mostly much smaller in absolute numbers.

2012-01-10mm: more intensive memory corruption debuggingStanislaw Gruszka
With CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured, the CPU will generate an exception on access (read,write) to an unallocated page, which permits us to catch code which corrupts memory. However the kernel is trying to maximise memory usage, hence there are usually few free pages in the system and buggy code usually corrupts some crucial data. This patch changes the buddy allocator to keep more free/protected pages and to interlace free/protected and allocated pages to increase the probability of catching corruption. When the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, debug_guardpage_minorder defines the minimum order used by the page allocator to grant a request. The requested size will be returned with the remaining pages used as guard pages. The default value of debug_guardpage_minorder is zero: no change from current behaviour.

Currently we are not rechecking pte_same in hugetlb_cow after we take ptl lock again in the page allocation failure code path and simply retry again. This is not an issue at the moment because hugetlb fault path is protected by hugetlb_instantiation_mutex so we cannot race. The original page is locked and so we cannot race even with the page migration.

2012-01-10mm: avoid livelock on !__GFP_FS allocationsMel Gorman
Colin Cross reported; Under the following conditions, __alloc_pages_slowpath can loop forever: gfp_mask & __GFP_WAIT is true gfp_mask & __GFP_FS is false reclaim and compaction make no progress order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER These conditions happen very often during suspend and resume, when pm_restrict_gfp_mask() effectively converts all GFP_KERNEL allocations into __GFP_WAIT. The oom killer is not run because gfp_mask & __GFP_FS is false, but should_alloc_retry will always return true when order is less than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. In his fix, he avoided retrying the allocation if reclaim made no progress and __GFP_FS was not set. The problem is that this would result in GFP_NOIO allocations failing that previously succeeded which would be very unfortunate. The big difference between GFP_NOIO and suspend converting GFP_KERNEL to behave like GFP_NOIO is that normally flushers will be cleaning pages and kswapd reclaims pages allowing GFP_NOIO to succeed after a short delay. The same does not necessarily apply during suspend as the storage device may be suspended. This patch special cases the suspend case to fail the page allocation if reclaim cannot make progress and adds some documentation on how gfp_allowed_mask is currently used. Failing allocations like this may cause suspend to abort but that is better than a livelock.

2012-01-10mm: reduce the amount of work done when updating min_free_kbytesMel Gorman
When min_free_kbytes is updated, some pageblocks are marked MIGRATE_RESERVE. Ordinarily, this work is unnoticable as it happens early in boot but on large machines with 1TB of memory, this has been reported to delay boot times, probably due to the NUMA distances involved. The bulk of the work is due to calling calling pageblock_is_reserved() an unnecessary amount of times and accessing far more struct page metadata than is necessary. This patch significantly reduces the amount of work done by setup_zone_migrate_reserve() improving boot times on 1TB machines.

2012-01-10vmscan: promote shared file mapped pagesKonstantin Khlebnikov
Commit 645747462435 ("vmscan: detect mapped file pages used only once") greatly decreases lifetime of single-used mapped file pages. Unfortunately it also decreases life time of all shared mapped file pages. Because after commit bf3f3bc5e7347 ("mm: don't mark_page_accessed in fault path") page-fault handler does not mark page active or even referenced. Thus page_check_references() activates file page only if it was used twice while it stays in inactive list, meanwhile it activates anon pages after first access. Inactive list can be small enough, this way reclaimer can accidentally throw away any widely used page if it wasn't used twice in short period. After this patch page_check_references() also activate file mapped page at first inactive list scan if this page is already used multiple times via several ptes. I found this while trying to fix degragation in rhel6 (~2.6.32) from rhel5 (~2.6.18). There a complete mess with >100 web/mail/spam/ftp containers, they share all their files but there a lot of anonymous pages: ~500mb shared file mapped memory and 15-20Gb non-shared anonymous memory. In this situation major-pagefaults are very costly, because all containers share the same page. In my load kernel created a disproportionate pressure on the file memory, compared with the anonymous, they equaled only if I raise swappiness up to 150 =) These patches actually wasn't helped a lot in my problem, but I saw noticable (10-20 times) reduce in count and average time of major-pagefault in file-mapped areas. Actually both patches are fixes for commit v2.6.33-5448-g6457474, because it was aimed at one scenario (singly used pages), but it breaks the logic in other scenarios (shared and/or executable pages) Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@openvz.org> Acked-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Acked-by: Minchan Kim <minchan.kim@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk> Cc: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Cc: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
