mm: vmstat: move slab statistics from zone to node counters
Patch series "mm: per-lruvec slab stats" Josef is working on a new approach to balancing slab caches and the page cache. For this to work, he needs slab cache statistics on the lruvec level. These patches implement that by adding infrastructure that allows updating and reading generic VM stat items per lruvec, then switches some existing VM accounting sites, including the slab accounting ones, to this new cgroup-aware API. I'll follow up with more patches on this, because there is actually substantial simplification that can be done to the memory controller when we replace private memcg accounting with making the existing VM accounting sites cgroup-aware. But this is enough for Josef to base his slab reclaim work on, so here goes. This patch (of 5): To re-implement slab cache vs. page cache balancing, we'll need the slab counters at the lruvec level, which, ever since lru reclaim was moved from the zone to the node, is the intersection of the node, not the zone, and the memcg. We could retain the per-zone counters for when the page allocator dumps its memory information on failures, and have counters on both levels - which on all but NUMA node 0 is usually redundant. But let's keep it simple for now and just move them. If anybody complains we can restore the per-zone counters.

mm, page_alloc: pass preferred nid instead of zonelist to allocator
The main allocator function __alloc_pages_nodemask() takes a zonelist pointer as one of its parameters. All of its callers directly or indirectly obtain the zonelist via node_zonelist() using a preferred node id and gfp_mask. We can make the code a bit simpler by doing the zonelist lookup in __alloc_pages_nodemask(), passing it a preferred node id instead (gfp_mask is already another parameter). There are some code size benefits thanks to removal of inlined node_zonelist(): bloat-o-meter add/remove: 2/2 grow/shrink: 4/36 up/down: 399/-1351 (-952) This will also make things simpler if we proceed with converting cpusets to zonelists.

mm, page_alloc: fix more premature OOM due to race with cpuset update
I would like to stress that this patchset aims to fix issues and cleanup
the code *within the existing documented semantics*, i.e. patch 1
ignores mempolicy restrictions if the set of allowed nodes has no
intersection with set of nodes allowed by cpuset. I believe discussing
potential changes of the semantics can be better done once we have a
baseline with no known bugs of the current semantics.
I've recently summarized the cpuset/mempolicy issues in a LSF/MM
proposal [1] and the discussion itself [2]. I've been trying to rewrite
the handling as proposed, with the idea that changing semantics to make
all mempolicies static wrt cpuset updates (and discarding the relative
and default modes) can be tried on top, as there's a high risk of being
rejected/reverted because somebody might still care about the removed
modes.
However I haven't yet figured out how to properly:
1) make mempolicies swappable instead of rebinding in place. I thought
mbind() already works that way and uses refcounting to avoid
use-after-free of the old policy by a parallel allocation, but turns
out true refcounting is only done for shared (shmem) mempolicies, and
the actual protection for mbind() comes from mmap_sem. Extending the
refcounting means more overhead in allocator hot path. Also swapping
whole mempolicies means that we have to allocate the new ones, which
can fail, and reverting of the partially done work also means
allocating (note that mbind() doesn't care and will just leave part
of the range updated and part not updated when returning -ENOMEM...).
2) make cpuset's task->mems_allowed also swappable (after converting it
from nodemask to zonelist, which is the easy part) for mostly the
same reasons.
The good news is that while trying to do the above, I've at least
figured out how to hopefully close the remaining premature OOM's, and do
a buch of cleanups on top, removing quite some of the code that was also
supposed to prevent the cpuset update races, but doesn't work anymore
nowadays. This should fix the most pressing concerns with this topic
and give us a better baseline before either proceeding with the original
proposal, or pushing a change of semantics that removes the problem 1)
above. I'd be then fine with trying to change the semantic first and
rewrite later.
Patchset has been tested with the LTP cpuset01 stress test.

mm: adaptive hash table scaling
Allow hash tables to scale with memory but at slower pace, when
HASH_ADAPT is provided every time memory quadruples the sizes of hash
tables will only double instead of quadrupling as well. This algorithm
starts working only when memory size reaches a certain point, currently
set to 64G.
This is example of dentry hash table size, before and after four various
memory configurations:
MEMORY SCALE HASH_SIZE
old new old new
8G 13 13 8M 8M
16G 13 13 16M 16M
32G 13 13 32M 32M
64G 13 13 64M 64M
128G 13 14 128M 64M
256G 13 14 256M 128M
512G 13 15 512M 128M
1024G 13 15 1024M 256M
2048G 13 16 2048M 256M
4096G 13 16 4096M 512M
8192G 13 17 8192M 512M
16384G 13 17 16384M 1024M
32768G 13 18 32768M 1024M
65536G 13 18 65536M 2048M
The effect of this change on runtime is undetectable as filesystem
growth is not proportional to machine memory size as is currently
assumed. The change effects only large memory machine. Additional
tuning might be needed, but that can be done by the clients of the
kmem_cache_create interface, not the generic cache allocator itself.
The adaptive hashing is disabled on 32 bit systems to avoid confusion of
whether base should be different for smaller systems, and to avoid
overflows.

mm: zero hash tables in allocator
Add a new flag HASH_ZERO which when provided grantees that the hash table that is returned by alloc_large_system_hash() is zeroed. In most cases that is what is needed by the caller. Use page level allocator's __GFP_ZERO flags to zero the memory. It is using memset() which is efficient method to zero memory and is optimized for most platforms.

mm: consider zone which is not fully populated to have holes
__pageblock_pfn_to_page has two users currently, set_zone_contiguous which checks whether the given zone contains holes and pageblock_pfn_to_page which then carefully returns a first valid page from the given pfn range for the given zone. This doesn't handle zones which are not fully populated though. Memory pageblocks can be offlined or might not have been onlined yet. In such a case the zone should be considered to have holes otherwise pfn walkers can touch and play with offline pages. Current callers of pageblock_pfn_to_page in compaction seem to work properly right now because they only isolate PageBuddy (isolate_freepages_block) or PageLRU resp. __PageMovable (isolate_migratepages_block) which will be always false for these pages. It would be safer to skip these pages altogether, though. In order to do this patch adds a new memory section state (SECTION_IS_ONLINE) which is set in memory_present (during boot time) or in online_pages_range during the memory hotplug. Similarly offline_mem_sections clears the bit and it is called when the memory range is offlined. pfn_to_online_page helper is then added which check the mem section and only returns a page if it is onlined already. Use the new helper in __pageblock_pfn_to_page and skip the whole page block in such a case.

mm: remove return value from init_currently_empty_zone
Patch series "mm: make movable onlining suck less", v4.
Movable onlining is a real hack with many downsides - mainly
reintroduction of lowmem/highmem issues we used to have on 32b systems -
but it is the only way to make the memory hotremove more reliable which
is something that people are asking for.
The current semantic of memory movable onlinening is really cumbersome,
however. The main reason for this is that the udev driven approach is
basically unusable because udev races with the memory probing while only
the last memory block or the one adjacent to the existing zone_movable
are allowed to be onlined movable. In short the criterion for the
successful online_movable changes under udev's feet. A reliable udev
approach would require a 2 phase approach where the first successful
movable online would have to check all the previous blocks and online
them in descending order. This is hard to be considered sane.
This patchset aims at making the onlining semantic more usable. First
of all it allows to online memory movable as long as it doesn't clash
with the existing ZONE_NORMAL. That means that ZONE_NORMAL and
ZONE_MOVABLE cannot overlap. Currently I preserve the original ordering
semantic so the zone always precedes the movable zone but I have plans
to remove this restriction in future because it is not really necessary.
First 3 patches are cleanups which should be ready to be merged right
away (unless I have missed something subtle of course).
Patch 4 deals with ZONE_DEVICE dependencies down the __add_pages path.
Patch 5 deals with implicit assumptions of register_one_node on pgdat
initialization.
Patches 6-10 deal with offline holes in the zone for pfn walkers. I
hope I got all of them right but people familiar with compaction should
double check this.
Patch 11 is the core of the change. In order to make it easier to
review I have tried it to be as minimalistic as possible and the large
code removal is moved to patch 14.
Patch 12 is a trivial follow up cleanup. Patch 13 fixes sparse warnings
and finally patch 14 removes the unused code.
I have tested the patches in kvm:
# qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -monitor pty -m 2G,slots=4,maxmem=4G -numa node,mem=1G -numa node,mem=1G ...
and then probed the additional memory by
(qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=1G
(qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1
Then I have used this simple script to probe the memory block by hand
# cat probe_memblock.sh
#!/bin/sh
BLOCK_NR=$1
# echo $((0x100000000+$BLOCK_NR*(128<<20))) > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
# for i in $(seq 10); do sh probe_memblock.sh $i; done
# grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3?/valid_zones 2>/dev/null
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Normal Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory35/valid_zones:Normal Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory36/valid_zones:Normal Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory37/valid_zones:Normal Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory38/valid_zones:Normal Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory39/valid_zones:Normal Movable
The main difference to the original implementation is that all new
memblocks can be both online_kernel and online_movable initially because
there is no clash obviously. For the comparison the original
implementation would have
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Normal
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory35/valid_zones:Normal
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory36/valid_zones:Normal
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory37/valid_zones:Normal
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory38/valid_zones:Normal
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory39/valid_zones:Normal Movable
Now
# echo online_movable > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/state
# grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3?/valid_zones 2>/dev/null
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory35/valid_zones:Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory36/valid_zones:Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory37/valid_zones:Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory38/valid_zones:Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory39/valid_zones:Movable
Block 33 can still be online both kernel and movable while all
the remaining can be only movable.
/proc/zonelist says
Node 0, zone Normal
pages free 0
min 0
low 0
high 0
spanned 0
present 0
--
Node 0, zone Movable
pages free 32753
min 85
low 117
high 149
spanned 32768
present 32768
A new memblock at a lower address will result in a new memblock (32)
which will still allow both Normal and Movable.
# sh probe_memblock.sh 0
# grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3[2-5]/valid_zones 2>/dev/null
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory35/valid_zones:Movable
and online_kernel will convert it to the zone normal properly
while 33 can be still onlined both ways.
# echo online_kernel > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/state
# grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3[2-5]/valid_zones 2>/dev/null
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory35/valid_zones:Movable
/proc/zoneinfo will now tell
Node 0, zone Normal
pages free 65441
min 165
low 230
high 295
spanned 65536
present 65536
--
Node 0, zone Movable
pages free 32740
min 82
low 114
high 146
spanned 32768
present 32768
so both zones have one memblock spanned and present.
Onlining 39 should associate this block to the movable zone
# echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory39/state
/proc/zoneinfo will now tell
Node 0, zone Normal
pages free 32765
min 80
low 112
high 144
spanned 32768
present 32768
--
Node 0, zone Movable
pages free 65501
min 160
low 225
high 290
spanned 196608
present 65536
so we will have a movable zone which spans 6 memblocks, 2 present and 4
representing a hole.
Offlining both movable blocks will lead to the zone with no present
pages which is the expected behavior I believe.
# echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory39/state
# echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/state
# grep -A6 "Movable\|Normal" /proc/zoneinfo
Node 0, zone Normal
pages free 32735
min 90
low 122
high 154
spanned 32768
present 32768
--
Node 0, zone Movable
pages free 0
min 0
low 0
high 0
spanned 196608
present 0
As a bonus we will get a nice cleanup in the memory hotplug codebase.
This patch (of 16):
init_currently_empty_zone doesn't have any error to return yet it is
still an int and callers try to be defensive and try to handle potential
error. Remove this nonsense and simplify all callers.
This patch shouldn't have any visible effect

the reason is that the managed memory is too low (only 110MB) while the
rest of the the 50GB is still waiting for the deferred intialization to
be done. update_defer_init estimates the initial memoty to initialize
to 2GB at least but it doesn't consider any memory allocated in that
range. In this particular case we've had
Reserving 4096MB of memory at 128MB for crashkernel (System RAM: 51200MB)
so the low 2GB is mostly depleted.
Fix this by considering memblock allocations in the initial static
initialization estimation. Move the max_initialise to
reset_deferred_meminit and implement a simple memblock_reserved_memory
helper which iterates all reserved blocks and sums the size of all that
start below the given address. The cumulative size is than added on top
of the initial estimation. This is still not ideal because
reset_deferred_meminit doesn't consider holes and so reservation might
be above the initial estimation whihch we ignore but let's make the
logic simpler until we really need to handle more complicated cases.

mm: introduce memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore}
The previous patch ("mm: prevent potential recursive reclaim due to
clearing PF_MEMALLOC") has shown that simply setting and clearing
PF_MEMALLOC in current->flags can result in wrongly clearing a
pre-existing PF_MEMALLOC flag and potentially lead to recursive reclaim.
Let's introduce helpers that support proper nesting by saving the
previous stat of the flag, similar to the existing memalloc_noio_* and
memalloc_nofs_* helpers. Convert existing setting/clearing of
PF_MEMALLOC within mm to the new helpers.
There are no known issues with the converted code, but the change makes
it more robust.

mm: prevent potential recursive reclaim due to clearing PF_MEMALLOC
Patch series "more robust PF_MEMALLOC handling" This series aims to unify the setting and clearing of PF_MEMALLOC, which prevents recursive reclaim. There are some places that clear the flag unconditionally from current->flags, which may result in clearing a pre-existing flag. This already resulted in a bug report that Patch 1 fixes (without the new helpers, to make backporting easier). Patch 2 introduces the new helpers, modelled after existing memalloc_noio_* and memalloc_nofs_* helpers, and converts mm core to use them. Patches 3 and 4 convert non-mm code. This patch (of 4): __alloc_pages_direct_compact() sets PF_MEMALLOC to prevent deadlock during page migration by lock_page() (see the comment in __unmap_and_move()). Then it unconditionally clears the flag, which can clear a pre-existing PF_MEMALLOC flag and result in recursive reclaim. This was not a problem until commit |

mm, compaction: restrict async compaction to pageblocks of same migratetype
The migrate scanner in async compaction is currently limited to MIGRATE_MOVABLE pageblocks. This is a heuristic intended to reduce latency, based on the assumption that non-MOVABLE pageblocks are unlikely to contain movable pages. However, with the exception of THP's, most high-order allocations are not movable. Should the async compaction succeed, this increases the chance that the non-MOVABLE allocations will fallback to a MOVABLE pageblock, making the long-term fragmentation worse. This patch attempts to help the situation by changing async direct compaction so that the migrate scanner only scans the pageblocks of the requested migratetype. If it's a non-MOVABLE type and there are such pageblocks that do contain movable pages, chances are that the allocation can succeed within one of such pageblocks, removing the need for a fallback. If that fails, the subsequent sync attempt will ignore this restriction. In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks by 30%. The number of movable allocations falling back is reduced by 12%.

mm, page_alloc: count movable pages when stealing from pageblock
When stealing pages from pageblock of a different migratetype, we count how many free pages were stolen, and change the pageblock's migratetype if more than half of the pageblock was free. This might be too conservative, as there might be other pages that are not free, but were allocated with the same migratetype as our allocation requested. While we cannot determine the migratetype of allocated pages precisely (at least without the page_owner functionality enabled), we can count pages that compaction would try to isolate for migration - those are either on LRU or __PageMovable(). The rest can be assumed to be MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE or MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE, which we cannot easily distinguish. This counting can be done as part of free page stealing with little additional overhead. The page stealing code is changed so that it considers free pages plus pages of the "good" migratetype for the decision whether to change pageblock's migratetype. The result should be more accurate migratetype of pageblocks wrt the actual pages in the pageblocks, when stealing from semi-occupied pageblocks. This should help the efficiency of page grouping by mobility. In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks by 47%. The number of movable allocations falling back to other pageblocks are increased by 55%, but these events don't cause permanent fragmentation, so the tradeoff should be positive. Later patches also offset the movable fallback increase to some extent.

mm, page_alloc: split smallest stolen page in fallback
The __rmqueue_fallback() function is called when there's no free page of requested migratetype, and we need to steal from a different one. There are various heuristics to make this event infrequent and reduce permanent fragmentation. The main one is to try stealing from a pageblock that has the most free pages, and possibly steal them all at once and convert the whole pageblock. Precise searching for such pageblock would be expensive, so instead the heuristics walks the free lists from MAX_ORDER down to requested order and assumes that the block with highest-order free page is likely to also have the most free pages in total. Chances are that together with the highest-order page, we steal also pages of lower orders from the same block. But then we still split the highest order page. This is wasteful and can contribute to fragmentation instead of avoiding it. This patch thus changes __rmqueue_fallback() to just steal the page(s) and put them on the freelist of the requested migratetype, and only report whether it was successful. Then we pick (and eventually split) the smallest page with __rmqueue_smallest(). This all happens under zone lock, so nobody can steal it from us in the process. This should reduce fragmentation due to fallbacks. At worst we are only stealing a single highest-order page and waste some cycles by moving it between lists and then removing it, but fallback is not exactly hot path so that should not be a concern. As a side benefit the patch removes some duplicate code by reusing __rmqueue_smallest().

i.e. echo do_IRQ:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter
o The rewrite was needed to add plugins to be unique to tracing instances.
i.e. mkdir instance/foo; cd instances/foo; echo do_IRQ:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter
The old way was written very hacky. This removes a lot of those hacks.
o New "function-fork" tracing option. When set, pids in the set_ftrace_pid
will have their children added when the processes with their pids
listed in the set_ftrace_pid file forks.
o Exposure of "maxactive" for kretprobe in kprobe_events
o Allow for builtin init functions to be traced by the function tracer
(via the kernel command line). Module init function tracing will come
in the next release.
o Added more selftests, and have selftests also test in an instance.

mm: enable page poisoning early at boot
On SPARSEMEM systems page poisoning is enabled after buddy is up, because of the dependency on page extension init. This causes the pages released by free_all_bootmem not to be poisoned. This either delays or misses the identification of some issues because the pages have to undergo another cycle of alloc-free-alloc for any corruption to be detected. Enable page poisoning early by getting rid of the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_POISON flag. Since all the free pages will now be poisoned, the flag need not be verified before checking the poison during an alloc.

mm: page_alloc: __GFP_NOWARN shouldn't suppress stall warnings
__GFP_NOWARN, which is usually added to avoid warnings from callsites that expect to fail and have fallbacks, currently also suppresses allocation stall warnings. These trigger when an allocation is stuck inside the allocator for 10 seconds or longer. But there is no class of allocations that can get legitimately stuck in the allocator for this long. This always indicates a problem. Always emit stall warnings. Restrict __GFP_NOWARN to alloc failures.

mm: introduce memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} API
GFP_NOFS context is used for the following 5 reasons currently:
- to prevent from deadlocks when the lock held by the allocation
context would be needed during the memory reclaim
- to prevent from stack overflows during the reclaim because the
allocation is performed from a deep context already
- to prevent lockups when the allocation context depends on other
reclaimers to make a forward progress indirectly
- just in case because this would be safe from the fs POV
- silence lockdep false positives
Unfortunately overuse of this allocation context brings some problems to
the MM. Memory reclaim is much weaker (especially during heavy FS
metadata workloads), OOM killer cannot be invoked because the MM layer
doesn't have enough information about how much memory is freeable by the
FS layer.
In many cases it is far from clear why the weaker context is even used
and so it might be used unnecessarily. We would like to get rid of
those as much as possible. One way to do that is to use the flag in
scopes rather than isolated cases. Such a scope is declared when really
necessary, tracked per task and all the allocation requests from within
the context will simply inherit the GFP_NOFS semantic.
Not only this is easier to understand and maintain because there are
much less problematic contexts than specific allocation requests, this
also helps code paths where FS layer interacts with other layers (e.g.
crypto, security modules, MM etc...) and there is no easy way to convey
the allocation context between the layers.
Introduce memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} API to control the scope of
GFP_NOFS allocation context. This is basically copying
memalloc_noio_{save,restore} API we have for other restricted allocation
context GFP_NOIO. The PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS flag already exists and it is
just an alias for PF_FSTRANS which has been xfs specific until recently.
There are no more PF_FSTRANS users anymore so let's just drop it.
PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS is now checked in the MM layer and drops __GFP_FS
implicitly same as PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO drops __GFP_IO. memalloc_noio_flags
is renamed to current_gfp_context because it now cares about both
PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS and PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO contexts. Xfs code paths preserve
their semantic. kmem_flags_convert() doesn't need to evaluate the flag
anymore.
This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.
Let's hope that filesystems will drop direct GFP_NOFS (resp. ~__GFP_FS)
usage as much as possible and only use a properly documented
memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} checkpoints where they are appropriate.

mm: remove unnecessary back-off function when retrying page reclaim
The backoff mechanism is not needed. If we have MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES loops without progress, we'll OOM anyway; backing off might cut one or two iterations off that in the rare OOM case. If we have intermittent success reclaiming a few pages, the backoff function gets reset also, and so is of little help in these scenarios. We might want a backoff function for when there IS progress, but not enough to be satisfactory. But this isn't that. Remove it.

mm: delete NR_PAGES_SCANNED and pgdat_reclaimable()
NR_PAGES_SCANNED counts number of pages scanned since the last page free event in the allocator. This was used primarily to measure the reclaimability of zones and nodes, and determine when reclaim should give up on them. In that role, it has been replaced in the preceding patches by a different mechanism. Being implemented as an efficient vmstat counter, it was automatically exported to userspace as well. It's however unlikely that anyone outside the kernel is using this counter in any meaningful way. Remove the counter and the unused pgdat_reclaimable().

mm: fix 100% CPU kswapd busyloop on unreclaimable nodes
Patch series "mm: kswapd spinning on unreclaimable nodes - fixes and
cleanups".
Jia reported a scenario in which the kswapd of a node indefinitely spins
at 100% CPU usage. We have seen similar cases at Facebook.
The kernel's current method of judging its ability to reclaim a node (or
whether to back off and sleep) is based on the amount of scanned pages
in proportion to the amount of reclaimable pages. In Jia's and our
scenarios, there are no reclaimable pages in the node, however, and the
condition for backing off is never met. Kswapd busyloops in an attempt
to restore the watermarks while having nothing to work with.
This series reworks the definition of an unreclaimable node based not on
scanning but on whether kswapd is able to actually reclaim pages in
MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (16) consecutive runs. This is the same criteria
the page allocator uses for giving up on direct reclaim and invoking the
OOM killer. If it cannot free any pages, kswapd will go to sleep and
leave further attempts to direct reclaim invocations, which will either
make progress and re-enable kswapd, or invoke the OOM killer.
Patch #1 fixes the immediate problem Jia reported, the remainder are
smaller fixlets, cleanups, and overall phasing out of the old method.
Patch #6 is the odd one out. It's a nice cleanup to get_scan_count(),
and directly related to #5, but in itself not relevant to the series.
If the whole series is too ambitious for 4.11, I would consider the
first three patches fixes, the rest cleanups.
This patch (of 9):
Jia He reports a problem with kswapd spinning at 100% CPU when
requesting more hugepages than memory available in the system:
$ echo 4000 >/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
top - 13:42:59 up 3:37, 1 user, load average: 1.09, 1.03, 1.01

At that time, there are no reclaimable pages left in the node, but as
kswapd fails to restore the high watermarks it refuses to go to sleep.
Kswapd needs to back away from nodes that fail to balance. Up until

mm: move pcp and lru-pcp draining into single wq
We currently have 2 specific WQ_RECLAIM workqueues in the mm code.
vmstat_wq for updating pcp stats and lru_add_drain_wq dedicated to drain
per cpu lru caches. This seems more than necessary because both can run
on a single WQ. Both do not block on locks requiring a memory
allocation nor perform any allocations themselves. We will save one
rescuer thread this way.
On the other hand drain_all_pages() queues work on the system wq which
doesn't have rescuer and so this depend on memory allocation (when all
workers are stuck allocating and new ones cannot be created).
Initially we thought this would be more of a theoretical problem but
Hugh Dickins has reported:
: 4.11-rc has been giving me hangs after hours of swapping load. At
: first they looked like memory leaks ("fork: Cannot allocate memory");
: but for no good reason I happened to do "cat /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh"
: before looking at /proc/meminfo one time, and the stat_refresh stuck
: in D state, waiting for completion of flush_work like many kworkers.
: kthreadd waiting for completion of flush_work in drain_all_pages().
This worker should be using WQ_RECLAIM as well in order to guarantee a
forward progress. We can reuse the same one as for lru draining and
vmstat.

ftrace: Have init/main.c call ftrace directly to free init memory
Relying on free_reserved_area() to call ftrace to free init memory proved to not be sufficient. The issue is that on x86, when debug_pagealloc is enabled, the init memory is not freed, but simply set as not present. Since ftrace was uninformed of this, starting function tracing still tries to update pages that are not present according to the page tables, causing ftrace to bug, as well as killing the kernel itself. Instead of relying on free_reserved_area(), have init/main.c call ftrace directly just before it frees the init memory. Then it needs to use __init_begin and __init_end to know where the init memory location is. Looking at all archs (and testing what I can), it appears that this should work for each of them.

ftrace: Allow for function tracing to record init functions on boot up
Adding a hook into free_reserve_area() that informs ftrace that boot up init text is being free, lets ftrace safely remove those init functions from its records, which keeps ftrace from trying to modify text that no longer exists. Note, this still does not allow for tracing .init text of modules, as modules require different work for freeing its init code.

mm/page_alloc: fix nodes for reclaim in fast path
When @node_reclaim_node isn't 0, the page allocator tries to reclaim
pages if the amount of free memory in the zones are below the low
watermark. On Power platform, none of NUMA nodes are scanned for page
reclaim because no nodes match the condition in zone_allows_reclaim().
On Power platform, RECLAIM_DISTANCE is set to 10 which is the distance
of Node-A to Node-A. So the preferred node even won't be scanned for
page reclaim.
__alloc_pages_nodemask()
get_page_from_freelist()
zone_allows_reclaim()
Anton proposed the test code as below:
# cat alloc.c
:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
void *p;
unsigned long size;
unsigned long start, end;
start = time(NULL);
size = strtoul(argv[1], NULL, 0);
printf("To allocate %ldGB memory\n", size);
size <<= 30;
p = malloc(size);
assert(p);
memset(p, 0, size);
end = time(NULL);
printf("Used time: %ld seconds\n", end - start);
sleep(3600);
return 0;
}
The system I use for testing has two NUMA nodes. Both have 128GB
memory. In below scnario, the page caches on node#0 should be reclaimed
when it encounters pressure to accommodate request of allocation.
# echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode; \
sync; \
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches; \
# taskset -c 0 cat file.32G > /dev/null; \
grep FilePages /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo
Node 0 FilePages: 33619712 kB
# taskset -c 0 ./alloc 128
# grep FilePages /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo
Node 0 FilePages: 33619840 kB
# grep MemFree /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo
Node 0 MemFree: 186816 kB
With the patch applied, the pagecache on node-0 is reclaimed when its
free memory is running out. It's the expected behaviour.
# echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode; \
sync; \
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
# taskset -c 0 cat file.32G > /dev/null; \

mm: alloc_contig_range: allow to specify GFP mask
Currently alloc_contig_range assumes that the compaction should be done with the default GFP_KERNEL flags. This is probably right for all current uses of this interface, but may change as CMA is used in more use-cases (including being the default DMA memory allocator on some platforms). Change the function prototype, to allow for passing through the GFP mask set by upper layers. Also respect global restrictions by applying memalloc_noio_flags to the passed in flags.

mm, page_alloc: use static global work_struct for draining per-cpu pages
As suggested by Vlastimil Babka and Tejun Heo, this patch uses a static work_struct to co-ordinate the draining of per-cpu pages on the workqueue. Only one task can drain at a time but this is better than the previous scheme that allowed multiple tasks to send IPIs at a time. One consideration is whether parallel requests should synchronise against each other. This patch does not synchronise for a global drain as the common case for such callers is expected to be multiple parallel direct reclaimers competing for pages when the watermark is close to min. Draining the per-cpu list is unlikely to make much progress and serialising the drain is of dubious merit. Drains are synchonrised for callers such as memory hotplug and CMA that care about the drain being complete when the function returns.

mm, page_alloc: remove redundant checks from alloc fastpath
The allocation fast path contains two similar checks for zoneref->zone being NULL, where zoneref points either to the first zone in the zonelist, or to the preferred zone. These can be NULL either due to empty zonelist, or no zone being compatible with given nodemask or task's cpuset. These checks are unnecessary, because the zonelist walks in first_zones_zonelist() and get_page_from_freelist() handle a NULL starting zoneref->zone or preferred_zoneref->zone safely. It's safe to fallback to __alloc_pages_slowpath() where we also have the check early enough.

mm, page_alloc: only use per-cpu allocator for irq-safe requests
Many workloads that allocate pages are not handling an interrupt at a
time. As allocation requests may be from IRQ context, it's necessary to
disable/enable IRQs for every page allocation. This cost is the bulk of
the free path but also a significant percentage of the allocation path.
This patch alters the locking and checks such that only irq-safe
allocation requests use the per-cpu allocator. All others acquire the
irq-safe zone->lock and allocate from the buddy allocator. It relies on
disabling preemption to safely access the per-cpu structures. It could
be slightly modified to avoid soft IRQs using it but it's not clear it's
worthwhile.
This modification may slow allocations from IRQ context slightly but the
main gain from the per-cpu allocator is that it scales better for
allocations from multiple contexts. There is an implicit assumption
that intensive allocations from IRQ contexts on multiple CPUs from a
single NUMA node are rare and that the fast majority of scaling issues
are encountered in !IRQ contexts such as page faulting. It's worth
noting that this patch is not required for a bulk page allocator but it
significantly reduces the overhead.
The following is results from a page allocator micro-benchmark. Only
order-0 is interesting as higher orders do not use the per-cpu allocator

This is the alloc, free and total overhead of allocating order-0 pages
in batches of 1 page up to 16384 pages. Avoiding disabling/enabling
overhead massively reduces overhead. Alloc overhead is roughly reduced
by 14-20% in most cases. The free path is reduced by 26-46% and the
total reduction is significant.
Many users require zeroing of pages from the page allocator which is the
vast cost of allocation. Hence, the impact on a basic page faulting
benchmark is not that significant

This is from aim9 and the most notable outcome is that fault variability
is reduced by the patch. The headline improvement is small as the
overall fault cost, zeroing, page table insertion etc dominate relative
to disabling/enabling IRQs in the per-cpu allocator.
Similarly, little benefit was seen on networking benchmarks both
localhost and between physical server/clients where other costs
dominate. It's possible that this will only be noticable on very high
speed networks.

Pulling cpu hotplug locks inside the page allocator is just too
dangerous. Let's remove the dependency by dropping get_online_cpus()
from drain_all_pages. This is not so simple though because now we do
not have a protection against cpu hotplug which means 2 things:
- the work item might be executed on a different cpu in worker from
unbound pool so it doesn't run on pinned on the cpu
- we have to make sure that we do not race with page_alloc_cpu_dead
calling drain_pages_zone
Disabling preemption in drain_local_pages_wq will solve the first
problem drain_local_pages will determine its local CPU from the WQ
context which will be stable after that point, page_alloc_cpu_dead is
pinned to the CPU already. The later condition is achieved by disabling
IRQs in drain_pages_zone.

mm, page_alloc: drain per-cpu pages from workqueue context
The per-cpu page allocator can be drained immediately via drain_all_pages() which sends IPIs to every CPU. In the next patch, the per-cpu allocator will only be used for interrupt-safe allocations which prevents draining it from IPI context. This patch uses workqueues to drain the per-cpu lists instead. This is slower but no slowdown during intensive reclaim was measured and the paths that use drain_all_pages() are not that sensitive to performance. This is particularly true as the path would only be triggered when reclaim is failing. It also makes a some sense to avoid storming a machine with IPIs when it's under memory pressure. Arguably, it should be further adjusted so that only one caller at a time is draining pages but it's beyond the scope of the current patch.

mm, page_alloc: split buffered_rmqueue()
Patch series "Use per-cpu allocator for !irq requests and prepare for a bulk allocator", v5. This series is motivated by a conversation led by Jesper Dangaard Brouer at the last LSF/MM proposing a generic page pool for DMA-coherent pages. Part of his motivation was due to the overhead of allocating multiple order-0 that led some drivers to use high-order allocations and splitting them. This is very slow in some cases. The first two patches in this series restructure the page allocator such that it is relatively easy to introduce an order-0 bulk page allocator. A patch exists to do that and has been handed over to Jesper until an in-kernel users is created. The third patch prevents the per-cpu allocator being drained from IPI context as that can potentially corrupt the list after patch four is merged. The final patch alters the per-cpu alloctor to make it exclusive to !irq requests. This cuts allocation/free overhead by roughly 30%. Performance tests from both Jesper and me are included in the patch. This patch (of 4): buffered_rmqueue removes a page from a given zone and uses the per-cpu list for order-0. This is fine but a hypothetical caller that wanted multiple order-0 pages has to disable/reenable interrupts multiple times. This patch structures buffere_rmqueue such that it's relatively easy to build a bulk order-0 page allocator. There is no functional change.

mm, page_alloc: warn_alloc nodemask is NULL when cpusets are disabled
The patch "mm, page_alloc: warn_alloc print nodemask" implicitly sets the allocation nodemask to cpuset_current_mems_allowed when there is no effective mempolicy. cpuset_current_mems_allowed is only effective when cpusets are enabled, which is also printed by warn_alloc(), so setting the nodemask to cpuset_current_mems_allowed is redundant and prevents debugging issues where ac->nodemask is not set properly in the page allocator. This provides better debugging output since cpuset_print_current_mems_allowed() is already provided.

mm: help __GFP_NOFAIL allocations which do not trigger OOM killer
Now that __GFP_NOFAIL doesn't override decisions to skip the oom killer we are left with requests which require to loop inside the allocator without invoking the oom killer (e.g. GFP_NOFS|__GFP_NOFAIL used by fs code) and so they might, in very unlikely situations, loop for ever - e.g. other parallel request could starve them. This patch tries to limit the likelihood of such a lockup by giving these __GFP_NOFAIL requests a chance to move on by consuming a small part of memory reserves. We are using ALLOC_HARDER which should be enough to prevent from the starvation by regular allocation requests, yet it shouldn't consume enough from the reserves to disrupt high priority requests (ALLOC_HIGH). While we are at it, let's introduce a helper __alloc_pages_cpuset_fallback which enforces the cpusets but allows to fallback to ignore them if the first attempt fails. __GFP_NOFAIL requests can be considered important enough to allow cpuset runaway in order for the system to move on. It is highly unlikely that any of these will be GFP_USER anyway.

mm, oom: do not enforce OOM killer for __GFP_NOFAIL automatically
__alloc_pages_may_oom makes sure to skip the OOM killer depending on the
allocation request. This includes lowmem requests, costly high order
requests and others. For a long time __GFP_NOFAIL acted as an override
for all those rules. This is not documented and it can be quite
surprising as well. E.g. GFP_NOFS requests are not invoking the OOM
killer but GFP_NOFS|__GFP_NOFAIL does so if we try to convert some of
the existing open coded loops around allocator to nofail request (and we
have done that in the past) then such a change would have a non trivial
side effect which is far from obvious. Note that the primary motivation
for skipping the OOM killer is to prevent from pre-mature invocation.
The exception has been added by commit

lib/show_mem.c: teach show_mem to work with the given nodemask
show_mem() allows to filter out node specific data which is irrelevant to the allocation request via SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES. The filtering is done in skip_free_areas_node which skips all nodes which are not in the mems_allowed of the current process. This works most of the time as expected because the nodemask shouldn't be outside of the allocating task but there are some exceptions. E.g. memory hotplug might want to request allocations from outside of the allowed nodes (see new_node_page). Get rid of this hardcoded behavior and push the allocation mask down the show_mem path and use it instead of cpuset_current_mems_allowed. NULL nodemask is interpreted as cpuset_current_mems_allowed.

mm, page_alloc: do not report all nodes in show_mem
Patch series "show_mem updates", v2.
This is a mixture of one bug fix (patch 1), an enhancement (patch 2) and
cleanups (the rest of the series). First two patches should be really
straightforward. Patch 3 removes some arch specific show_mem
implementations because I think they are quite outdated and do not
really serve any useful purpose anymore. I think we should really
strive to have a consistent show_mem output regardless of the
architecture. If some architecture is really special and wants to dump
something additional we should do that via an arch specific hook.
The last patch adds nodemask parameter so that we do not rely on the
hardcoded mems_allowed of the current task when doing the node
filtering. I consider this more a cleanup than a fix because basically
all users use a nodemask which is a subset of mems_allowed. There is
only one call path in the memory hotplug which doesn't comply with this
but that is hardly something to worry about.

mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns where possible
When using a sparse memory model memmap_init_zone() when invoked with the MEMMAP_EARLY context will skip over pages which aren't valid - ie. which aren't in a populated region of the sparse memory map. However if the memory map is extremely sparse then it can spend a long time linearly checking each PFN in a large non-populated region of the memory map & skipping it in turn. When CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is enabled, we have sufficient information to quickly discover the next valid PFN given an invalid one by searching through the list of memory regions & skipping forwards to the first PFN covered by the memory region to the right of the non-populated region. Implement this in order to speed up memmap_init_zone() for systems with extremely sparse memory maps. James said "I have tested this patch on a virtual model of a Samurai CPU with a sparse memory map. The kernel boot time drops from 109 to 62 seconds.

oom, trace: add compaction retry tracepoint
Higher order requests oom debugging is currently quite hard. We do have
some compaction points which can tell us how the compaction is operating
but there is no trace point to tell us about compaction retry logic.
This patch adds a one which will have the following format
bash-3126 [001] .... 1498.220001: compact_retry: order=9 priority=COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT compaction_result=withdrawn retries=0 max_retries=16 should_retry=0
we can see that the order 9 request is not retried even though we are in
the highest compaction priority mode becase the last compaction attempt
was withdrawn. This means that compaction_zonelist_suitable must have
returned false and there is no suitable zone to compact for this request
and so no need to retry further.
another example would be
<...>-3137 [001] .... 81.501689: compact_retry: order=9 priority=COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT compaction_result=failed retries=0 max_retries=16 should_retry=0
in this case the order-9 compaction failed to find any suitable block.
We do not retry anymore because this is a costly request and those do
not go below COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT priority.

oom, trace: add oom detection tracepoints
should_reclaim_retry is the central decision point for declaring the OOM. It might be really useful to expose data used for this decision making when debugging an unexpected oom situations. Say we have an OOM report: [ 52.264001] mem_eater invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x24280ca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_ZERO), nodemask=0, order=0, oom_score_adj=0 [ 52.267549] CPU: 3 PID: 3148 Comm: mem_eater Tainted: G W 4.8.0-oomtrace3-00006-gb21338b386d2 #1024 Now we can check the tracepoint data to see how we have ended up in this situation: mem_eater-3148 [003] .... 52.432801: reclaim_retry_zone: node=0 zone=DMA32 order=0 reclaimable=51 available=11134 min_wmark=11084 no_progress_loops=1 wmark_check=1 mem_eater-3148 [003] .... 52.433269: reclaim_retry_zone: node=0 zone=DMA32 order=0 reclaimable=51 available=11103 min_wmark=11084 no_progress_loops=1 wmark_check=1 mem_eater-3148 [003] .... 52.433712: reclaim_retry_zone: node=0 zone=DMA32 order=0 reclaimable=51 available=11100 min_wmark=11084 no_progress_loops=2 wmark_check=1 mem_eater-3148 [003] .... 52.434067: reclaim_retry_zone: node=0 zone=DMA32 order=0 reclaimable=51 available=11097 min_wmark=11084 no_progress_loops=3 wmark_check=1 mem_eater-3148 [003] .... 52.434414: reclaim_retry_zone: node=0 zone=DMA32 order=0 reclaimable=51 available=11094 min_wmark=11084 no_progress_loops=4 wmark_check=1 mem_eater-3148 [003] .... 52.434761: reclaim_retry_zone: node=0 zone=DMA32 order=0 reclaimable=51 available=11091 min_wmark=11084 no_progress_loops=5 wmark_check=1 mem_eater-3148 [003] .... 52.435108: reclaim_retry_zone: node=0 zone=DMA32 order=0 reclaimable=51 available=11087 min_wmark=11084 no_progress_loops=6 wmark_check=1 mem_eater-3148 [003] .... 52.435478: reclaim_retry_zone: node=0 zone=DMA32 order=0 reclaimable=51 available=11084 min_wmark=11084 no_progress_loops=7 wmark_check=0 mem_eater-3148 [003] .... 52.435478: reclaim_retry_zone: node=0 zone=DMA order=0 reclaimable=0 available=1126 min_wmark=179 no_progress_loops=7 wmark_check=0 The above shows that we can quickly deduce that the reclaim stopped making any progress (see no_progress_loops increased in each round) and while there were still some 51 reclaimable pages they couldn't be dropped for some reason (vmscan trace points would tell us more about that part). available will represent reclaimable + free_pages scaled down per no_progress_loops factor. This is essentially an optimistic estimate of how much memory we would have when reclaiming everything. This can be compared to min_wmark to get a rought idea but the wmark_check tells the result of the watermark check which is more precise (includes lowmem reserves, considers the order etc.). As we can see no zone is eligible in the end and that is why we have triggered the oom in this situation. Please note that higher order requests might fail on the wmark_check even when there is much more memory available than min_wmark - e.g. when the memory is fragmented. A follow up tracepoint will help to debug those situations.

mm, page_alloc: avoid page_to_pfn() when merging buddies
On architectures that allow memory holes, page_is_buddy() has to perform page_to_pfn() to check for the memory hole. After the previous patch, we have the pfn already available in __free_one_page(), which is the only caller of page_is_buddy(), so move the check there and avoid page_to_pfn().

mm, page_alloc: don't convert pfn to idx when merging
In __free_one_page() we do the buddy merging arithmetics on "page/buddy index", which is just the lower MAX_ORDER bits of pfn. The operations we do that affect the higher bits are bitwise AND and subtraction (in that order), where the final result will be the same with the higher bits left unmasked, as long as these bits are equal for both buddies - which must be true by the definition of a buddy. We can therefore use pfn's directly instead of "index" and skip the zeroing of >MAX_ORDER bits. This can help a bit by itself, although compiler might be smart enough already. It also helps the next patch to avoid page_to_pfn() for memory hole checks.

mm: throttle show_mem() from warn_alloc()
Tetsuo has been stressing OOM killer path with many parallel allocation requests when he has noticed that it is not all that hard to swamp kernel logs with warn_alloc messages caused by allocation stalls. Even though the allocation stall message is triggered only once in 10s there might be many different tasks hitting it roughly around the same time. A big part of the output is show_mem() which can generate a lot of output even on a small machines. There is no reason to show the state of memory counter for each allocation stall, especially when multiple of them are reported in a short time period. Chances are that not much has changed since the last report. This patch simply rate limits show_mem called from warn_alloc to only dump something once per second. This should be enough to give us a clue why an allocation might be stalling while burst of warnings will not swamp log with too much data. While we are at it, extract all the show_mem related handling (filters) into a separate function warn_alloc_show_mem. This will make the code cleaner and as a bonus point we can distinguish which part of warn_alloc got throttled due to rate limiting as ___ratelimit dumps the caller.

mm, page_alloc: fix premature OOM when racing with cpuset mems update
Ganapatrao Kulkarni reported that the LTP test cpuset01 in stress mode triggers OOM killer in few seconds, despite lots of free memory. The test attempts to repeatedly fault in memory in one process in a cpuset, while changing allowed nodes of the cpuset between 0 and 1 in another process. The problem comes from insufficient protection against cpuset changes, which can cause get_page_from_freelist() to consider all zones as non-eligible due to nodemask and/or current->mems_allowed. This was masked in the past by sufficient retries, but since commit |

mm, page_alloc: fix fast-path race with cpuset update or removal
Ganapatrao Kulkarni reported that the LTP test cpuset01 in stress mode
triggers OOM killer in few seconds, despite lots of free memory. The
test attempts to repeatedly fault in memory in one process in a cpuset,
while changing allowed nodes of the cpuset between 0 and 1 in another
process.
One possible cause is that in the fast path we find the preferred
zoneref according to current mems_allowed, so that it points to the
middle of the zonelist, skipping e.g. zones of node 1 completely. If
the mems_allowed is updated to contain only node 1, we never reach it in
the zonelist, and trigger OOM before checking the cpuset_mems_cookie.
This patch fixes the particular case by redoing the preferred zoneref
search if we switch back to the original nodemask. The condition is
also slightly changed so that when the last non-root cpuset is removed,
we don't miss it.
Note that this is not a full fix, and more patches will follow.

mm, page_alloc: fix check for NULL preferred_zone
Patch series "fix premature OOM regression in 4.7+ due to cpuset races". This is v2 of my attempt to fix the recent report based on LTP cpuset stress test [1]. The intention is to go to stable 4.9 LTSS with this, as triggering repeated OOMs is not nice. That's why the patches try to be not too intrusive. Unfortunately why investigating I found that modifying the testcase to use per-VMA policies instead of per-task policies will bring the OOM's back, but that seems to be much older and harder to fix problem. I have posted a RFC [2] but I believe that fixing the recent regressions has a higher priority. Longer-term we might try to think how to fix the cpuset mess in a better and less error prone way. I was for example very surprised to learn, that cpuset updates change not only task->mems_allowed, but also nodemask of mempolicies. Until now I expected the parameter to alloc_pages_nodemask() to be stable. I wonder why do we then treat cpusets specially in get_page_from_freelist() and distinguish HARDWALL etc, when there's unconditional intersection between mempolicy and cpuset. I would expect the nodemask adjustment for saving overhead in g_p_f(), but that clearly doesn't happen in the current form. So we have both crazy complexity and overhead, AFAICS.

mm: rename __page_frag functions to __page_frag_cache, drop order from drain
This patch does two things. First it goes through and renames the __page_frag prefixed functions to __page_frag_cache so that we can be clear that we are draining or refilling the cache, not the frags themselves. Second we drop the order parameter from __page_frag_cache_drain since we don't actually need to pass it since all fragments are either order 0 or must be a compound page.

mm: rename __alloc_page_frag to page_frag_alloc and __free_page_frag to page_frag_free
Patch series "Page fragment updates", v4. This patch series takes care of a few cleanups for the page fragments API. First we do some renames so that things are much more consistent. First we move the page_frag_ portion of the name to the front of the functions names. Secondly we split out the cache specific functions from the other page fragment functions by adding the word "cache" to the name. Finally I added a bit of documentation that will hopefully help to explain some of this. I plan to revisit this later as we get things more ironed out in the near future with the changes planned for the DMA setup to support eXpress Data Path. This patch (of 3): This patch renames the page frag functions to be more consistent with other APIs. Specifically we place the name page_frag first in the name and then have either an alloc or free call name that we append as the suffix. This makes it a bit clearer in terms of naming. In addition we drop the leading double underscores since we are technically no longer a backing interface and instead the front end that is called from the networking APIs.

mm: don't dereference struct page fields of invalid pages
The VM_BUG_ON() check in move_freepages() checks whether the node id of a page matches the node id of its zone. However, it does this before having checked whether the struct page pointer refers to a valid struct page to begin with. This is guaranteed in most cases, but may not be the case if CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE=y. So reorder the VM_BUG_ON() with the pfn_valid_within() check.

mm: make unreserve highatomic functions reliable
Currently, unreserve_highatomic_pageblock bails out if it found highatomic pageblock regardless of really moving free pages from the one so that it could mitigate unreserve logic's goal which saves OOM of a process. This patch makes unreserve functions bail out only if it moves some pages out of !highatomic free list to avoid such false positive. Another potential problem is that by race between page freeing and reserve highatomic function, pages could be in highatomic free list even though the pageblock is !high atomic migratetype. In that case, unreserve_highatomic_pageblock can be void if count of highatomic reserve is less than pageblock_nr_pages. We could solve it simply via draining all of reserved pages before the OOM. It would have a safeguard role to exhuast reserved pages before converging to OOM.

mm: try to exhaust highatomic reserve before the OOM
I got OOM report from production team with v4.4 kernel. It had enough free memory but failed to allocate GFP_KERNEL order-0 page and finally encountered OOM kill. It occured during QA process which launches several apps, switching and so on. It happned rarely. IOW, In normal situation, it was not a problem but if we are unluck so that several apps uses peak memory at the same time, it can happen.

mm: prevent double decrease of nr_reserved_highatomic
There is race between page freeing and unreserved highatomic.
CPU 0 CPU 1
free_hot_cold_page
mt = get_pfnblock_migratetype
set_pcppage_migratetype(page, mt)
unreserve_highatomic_pageblock
spin_lock_irqsave(&zone->lock)
move_freepages_block
set_pageblock_migratetype(page)
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&zone->lock)
free_pcppages_bulk
__free_one_page(mt) <- mt is stale
By above race, a page on CPU 0 could go non-highorderatomic free list
since the pageblock's type is changed. By that, unreserve logic of
highorderatomic can decrease reserved count on a same pageblock severak
times and then it will make mismatch between nr_reserved_highatomic and
the number of reserved pageblock.
So, this patch verifies whether the pageblock is highatomic or not and
decrease the count only if the pageblock is highatomic.

mm: don't steal highatomic pageblock
Patch series "use up highorder free pages before OOM", v3. I got OOM report from production team with v4.4 kernel. It had enough free memory but failed to allocate GFP_KERNEL order-0 page and finally encountered OOM kill. It occured during QA process which launches several apps, switching and so on. It happned rarely. IOW, In normal situation, it was not a problem but if we are unluck so that several apps uses peak memory at the same time, it can happen. If we manage to pass the phase, the system can go working well. I could reproduce it with my test(memory spike easily. Look at below. The reason is free pages(19M) of DMA32 zone are reserved for HIGHORDERATOMIC and doesn't unreserved before the OOM. balloon invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x24280ca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_ZERO), order=0, oom_score_adj=0 balloon cpuset=/ mems_allowed=0 CPU: 1 PID: 8473 Comm: balloon Tainted: G W OE 4.8.0-rc7-00219-g3f74c9559583-dirty #3161 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Ubuntu-1.8.2-1ubuntu1 04/01/2014 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x63/0x90 dump_header+0x5c/0x1ce oom_kill_process+0x22e/0x400 out_of_memory+0x1ac/0x210 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x101e/0x1040 handle_mm_fault+0xa0a/0xbf0 __do_page_fault+0x1dd/0x4d0 trace_do_page_fault+0x43/0x130 do_async_page_fault+0x1a/0xa0 async_page_fault+0x28/0x30 Mem-Info: active_anon:383949 inactive_anon:106724 isolated_anon:0 active_file:15 inactive_file:44 isolated_file:0 unevictable:0 dirty:0 writeback:24 unstable:0 slab_reclaimable:2483 slab_unreclaimable:3326 mapped:0 shmem:0 pagetables:1906 bounce:0 free:6898 free_pcp:291 free_cma:0 Node 0 active_anon:1535796kB inactive_anon:426896kB active_file:60kB inactive_file:176kB unevictable:0kB isolated(anon):0kB isolated(file):0kB mapped:0kB dirty:0kB writeback:96kB shmem:0kB writeback_tmp:0kB unstable:0kB pages_scanned:1418 all_unreclaimable?

This patch (of 4): In page freeing path, migratetype is racy so that a highorderatomic page could free into non-highorderatomic free list. If that page is allocated, VM can change the pageblock from higorderatomic to something. In that case, highatomic pageblock accounting is broken so it doesn't work(e.g., VM cannot reserve highorderatomic pageblocks any more although it doesn't reach 1% limit). So, this patch prohibits the changing from highatomic to other type. It's no problem because MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC is not listed in fallback array so stealing will only happen due to unexpected races which is really rare. Also, such prohibiting keeps highatomic pageblock more longer so it would be better for highorderatomic page allocation.

latent_entropy: Fix wrong gcc code generation with 64 bit variables
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.

mm: remove per-zone hashtable of bitlock waitqueues
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.

mm/page_alloc: Remove kernel address exposure in free_reserved_area()
Linus suggested we try to remove some of the low-hanging fruit related to kernel address exposure in dmesg. The only leaks I see on my local system are: Freeing SMP alternatives memory: 32K (ffffffff9e309000 - ffffffff9e311000) Freeing initrd memory: 10588K (ffffa0b736b42000 - ffffa0b737599000) Freeing unused kernel memory: 3592K (ffffffff9df87000 - ffffffff9e309000) Freeing unused kernel memory: 1352K (ffffa0b7288ae000 - ffffa0b728a00000) Freeing unused kernel memory: 632K (ffffa0b728d62000 - ffffa0b728e00000) Linus says: "I suspect we should just remove [the addresses in the 'Freeing' messages]. I'm sure they are useful in theory, but I suspect they were more useful back when the whole "free init memory" was originally done. These days, if we have a use-after-free, I suspect the init-mem situation is the easiest situation by far. Compared to all the dynamic allocations which are much more likely to show it anyway. So having debug output for that case is likely not all that productive." With this patch the freeing messages now look like this: Freeing SMP alternatives memory: 32K Freeing initrd memory: 10588K Freeing unused kernel memory: 3592K Freeing unused kernel memory: 1352K Freeing unused kernel memory: 632K Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: H.

latent_entropy: Mark functions with __latent_entropy
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.

gcc-plugins: Add latent_entropy plugin
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.

mm: warn about allocations which stall for too long
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.

mm: consolidate warn_alloc_failed users
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.

mm, compaction: restrict full priority to non-costly orders
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.

mm, compaction: more reliably increase direct compaction priority
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.

Revert "mm, oom: prevent premature OOM killer invocation for high order request"
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.

mm: introduce arch_reserved_kernel_pages()
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.

mm/page_ext: support extra space allocation by page_ext user
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.

mm/debug_pagealloc.c: don't allocate page_ext if we don't use guard page
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.

mm/debug_pagealloc.c: clean-up guard page handling code
Patch series "Reduce memory waste by page extension user".
This patchset tries to reduce memory waste by page extension user.
First case is architecture supported debug_pagealloc. 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. It has a following problem.
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
waste so this patch tries to reduce it. By this patchset, we can save
20 bytes per page dedicated for page owner feature in some
configurations.
This patch (of 6):
We can make code clean by moving decision condition for set_page_guard()
into set_page_guard() itself. It will help code readability. There is
no functional change.

mm: fix set pageblock migratetype in deferred struct page init
On x86_64 MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES is usually 4M, and a pageblock is usually
2M, so we only set one pageblock's migratetype in deferred_free_range()
if pfn is aligned to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. That means it causes
uninitialized migratetype blocks, you can see from "cat
/proc/pagetypeinfo", almost half blocks are Unmovable.
Also we missed freeing the last block in deferred_init_memmap(), it
causes memory leak.

mm, compaction: require only min watermarks for non-costly orders
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().

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.

mm, oom: prevent premature OOM killer invocation for high order request
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.

mm: memcontrol: only mark charged pages with PageKmemcg
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.

mm, compaction: introduce direct compaction priority
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.

mm, thp: remove __GFP_NORETRY from khugepaged and madvised allocations
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).

mm, page_alloc: make THP-specific decisions more generic
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.

mm, page_alloc: restructure direct compaction handling in slowpath
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.

mm, page_alloc: don't retry initial attempt in slowpath
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.

mm, page_alloc: set alloc_flags only once in slowpath
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().

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.

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.

mm: show node_pages_scanned per node, not zone
The node_pages_scanned represents the number of scanned pages of node for reclaim so it's pointless to show it as kilobytes. As well, node_pages_scanned is per-node value, not per-zone. This patch changes node_pages_scanned per-zone-killobytes with per-node-count.

mm, vmstat: remove zone and node double accounting by approximating retries
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

mm: convert zone_reclaim to node_reclaim
As reclaim is now per-node based, convert zone_reclaim to be node_reclaim. It is possible that a node will be reclaimed multiple times if it has multiple zones but this is unavoidable without caching all nodes traversed so far. The documentation and interface to userspace is the same from a configuration perspective and will will be similar in behaviour unless the node-local allocation requests were also limited to lower zones.

mm, page_alloc: wake kswapd based on the highest eligible zone
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.

mm, vmscan: only wakeup kswapd once per node for the requested classzone
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.

mm: move most file-based accounting to the node
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.

Earlier patches focused on having direct reclaim and kswapd use data that is node-centric for reclaiming but shrink_node() itself still uses too much zone information. This patch removes unnecessary zone-based information with the most important decision being whether to continue reclaim or not. Some memcg APIs are adjusted as a result even though memcg itself still uses some zone information.

mm, vmscan: simplify the logic deciding whether kswapd sleeps
kswapd goes through some complex steps trying to figure out if it should stay awake based on the classzone_idx and the requested order. It is unnecessarily complex and passes in an invalid classzone_idx to balance_pgdat(). What matters most of all is whether a larger order has been requsted and whether kswapd successfully reclaimed at the previous order. This patch irons out the logic to check just that and the end result is less headache inducing.

mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node
This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking. Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node logic. Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and active sizes. It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks. Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note that it introduces a number of anomalies. For example, the scans are per-zone but using per-node counters. We also mark a node as congested when a zone is congested. This causes weird problems that are fixed later but is easier to review. In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions 1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list. That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages. 2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.

mm, vmscan: move lru_lock to the node
Node-based reclaim requires node-based LRUs and locking. This is a preparation patch that just moves the lru_lock to the node so later patches are easier to review. It is a mechanical change but note this patch makes contention worse because the LRU lock is hotter and direct reclaim and kswapd can contend on the same lock even when reclaiming from different zones.

mm, vmstat: add infrastructure for per-node vmstats
Patchset: "Move LRU page reclaim from zones to nodes v9"
This series moves LRUs from the zones to the node. While this is a
current rebase, the test results were based on mmotm as of June 23rd.
Conceptually, this series is simple but there are a lot of details.
Some of the broad motivations for this are;
1. The residency of a page partially depends on what zone the page was
allocated from. This is partially combatted by the fair zone allocation
policy but that is a partial solution that introduces overhead in the
page allocator paths.
2. Currently, reclaim on node 0 behaves slightly different to node 1. For
example, direct reclaim scans in zonelist order and reclaims even if
the zone is over the high watermark regardless of the age of pages
in that LRU. Kswapd on the other hand starts reclaim on the highest
unbalanced zone. A difference in distribution of file/anon pages due
to when they were allocated results can result in a difference in
again. While the fair zone allocation policy mitigates some of the
problems here, the page reclaim results on a multi-zone node will
always be different to a single-zone node.
it was scheduled on as a result.
3. kswapd and the page allocator scan zones in the opposite order to
avoid interfering with each other but it's sensitive to timing. This
mitigates the page allocator using pages that were allocated very recently
in the ideal case but it's sensitive to timing. When kswapd is allocating
from lower zones then it's great but during the rebalancing of the highest
zone, the page allocator and kswapd interfere with each other. It's worse
if the highest zone is small and difficult to balance.
4. slab shrinkers are node-based which makes it harder to identify the exact
relationship between slab reclaim and LRU reclaim.
The reason we have zone-based reclaim is that we used to have
large highmem zones in common configurations and it was necessary
to quickly find ZONE_NORMAL pages for reclaim. Today, this is much
less of a concern as machines with lots of memory will (or should) use
64-bit kernels. Combinations of 32-bit hardware and 64-bit hardware are
rare. Machines that do use highmem should have relatively low highmem:lowmem
ratios than we worried about in the past.
Conceptually, moving to node LRUs should be easier to understand. The
page allocator plays fewer tricks to game reclaim and reclaim behaves
similarly on all nodes.
The series has been tested on a 16 core UMA machine and a 2-socket 48
core NUMA machine. The UMA results are presented in most cases as the NUMA
machine behaved similarly.

This is a microbenchmark that shows the benefit of removing the fair zone
allocation policy. It was tested uip to order-4 but only orders 0 and 1 are
shown as the other orders were comparable.

tiobench is a benchmark that artifically benefits if old pages remain resident
while new pages get reclaimed. The fair zone allocation policy mitigates this
problem so pages age fairly. While the benchmark has problems, it is important
that tiobench performance remains constant as it implies that page aging
problems that the fair zone allocation policy fixes are not re-introduced.

This shows that the series has little or not impact on tiobench which is
desirable and a reduction in system CPU usage. It indicates that the fair
zone allocation policy was removed in a manner that didn't reintroduce

It basically shows that kswapd was active at roughly the same rate in

in numbers of inodes reclaimed but the workload has few active inodes and
is likely a timing artifact.

While this is not guaranteed in all cases, this particular test showed
a large reduction in direct reclaim activity. It's also worth noting
that no page writes were issued from reclaim context.
This series is not without its hazards. There are at least three areas
that I'm concerned with even though I could not reproduce any problems in
that area.
1. Reclaim/compaction is going to be affected because the amount of reclaim is
no longer targetted at a specific zone. Compaction works on a per-zone basis
so there is no guarantee that reclaiming a few THP's worth page pages will
have a positive impact on compaction success rates.
2. The Slab/LRU reclaim ratio is affected because the frequency the shrinkers
are called is now different. This may or may not be a problem but if it
is, it'll be because shrinkers are not called enough and some balancing
is required.
3. The anon/file reclaim ratio may be affected. Pages about to be dirtied are
distributed between zones and the fair zone allocation policy used to do
something very similar for anon. The distribution is now different but not
necessarily in any way that matters but it's still worth bearing in mind.
VM statistic counters for reclaim decisions are zone-based. If the kernel
is to reclaim on a per-node basis then we need to track per-node
statistics but there is no infrastructure for that. The most notable
change is that the old node_page_state is renamed to
sum_zone_node_page_state. The new node_page_state takes a pglist_data and
uses per-node stats but none exist yet. There is some renaming such as
vm_stat to vm_zone_stat and the addition of vm_node_stat and the renaming
of mod_state to mod_zone_state. Otherwise, this is mostly a mechanical
patch with no functional change. There is a lot of similarity between the
node and zone helpers which is unfortunate but there was no obvious way of
reusing the code and maintaining type safety.

thp, mlock: do not mlock PTE-mapped file huge pages
As with anon THP, we only mlock file huge pages if we can prove that the page is not mapped with PTE. This way we can avoid mlock leak into non-mlocked vma on split. We rely on PageDoubleMap() under lock_page() to check if the the page may be PTE mapped. PG_double_map is set by page_add_file_rmap() when the page mapped with PTEs.

mm: charge/uncharge kmemcg from generic page allocator paths
Currently, to charge a non-slab allocation to kmemcg one has to use alloc_kmem_pages helper with __GFP_ACCOUNT flag. A page allocated with this helper should finally be freed using free_kmem_pages, otherwise it won't be uncharged. This API suits its current users fine, but it turns out to be impossible to use along with page reference counting, i.e. when an allocation is supposed to be freed with put_page, as it is the case with pipe or unix socket buffers. To overcome this limitation, this patch moves charging/uncharging to generic page allocator paths, i.e. to __alloc_pages_nodemask and free_pages_prepare, and zaps alloc/free_kmem_pages helpers. This way, one can use any of the available page allocation functions to get the allocated page charged to kmemcg - it's enough to pass __GFP_ACCOUNT, just like in case of kmalloc and friends. A charged page will be automatically uncharged on free. To make it possible, we need to mark pages charged to kmemcg somehow. To avoid introducing a new page flag, we make use of page->_mapcount for marking such pages. Since pages charged to kmemcg are not supposed to be mapped to userspace, it should work just fine. There are other (ab)users of page->_mapcount - buddy and balloon pages - but we don't conflict with them. In case kmemcg is compiled out or not used at runtime, this patch introduces no overhead to generic page allocator paths. If kmemcg is used, it will be plus one gfp flags check on alloc and plus one page->_mapcount check on free, which shouldn't hurt performance, because the data accessed are hot.

mm: memcontrol: cleanup kmem charge functions
- Handle memcg_kmem_enabled check out to the caller. This reduces the number of function definitions making the code easier to follow. At the same time it doesn't result in code bloat, because all of these functions are used only in one or two places. - Move __GFP_ACCOUNT check to the caller as well so that one wouldn't have to dive deep into memcg implementation to see which allocations are charged and which are not. - Refresh comments.

mm/page_alloc: introduce post allocation processing on page allocator
This patch is motivated from Hugh and Vlastimil's concern [1]. There are two ways to get freepage from the allocator. One is using normal memory allocation API and the other is __isolate_free_page() which is internally used for compaction and pageblock isolation. Later usage is rather tricky since it doesn't do whole post allocation processing done by normal API. One problematic thing I already know is that poisoned page would not be checked if it is allocated by __isolate_free_page(). Perhaps, there would be more. We could add more debug logic for allocated page in the future and this separation would cause more problem. I'd like to fix this situation at this time. Solution is simple. This patch commonize some logic for newly allocated page and uses it on all sites. This will solve the problem.

mm/page_owner: introduce split_page_owner and replace manual handling
split_page() calls set_page_owner() to set up page_owner to each pages. But, it has a drawback that head page and the others have different stacktrace because callsite of set_page_owner() is slightly differnt. To avoid this problem, this patch copies head page's page_owner to the others. It needs to introduce new function, split_page_owner() but it also remove the other function, get_page_owner_gfp() so looks good to do.

mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page migration
We have allowed migration for only LRU pages until now and it was enough to make high-order pages. But recently, embedded system(e.g., webOS, android) uses lots of non-movable pages(e.g., zram, GPU memory) so we have seen several reports about troubles of small high-order allocation. For fixing the problem, there were several efforts (e,g,. enhance compaction algorithm, SLUB fallback to 0-order page, reserved memory, vmalloc and so on) but if there are lots of non-movable pages in system, their solutions are void in the long run. So, this patch is to support facility to change non-movable pages with movable. For the feature, this patch introduces functions related to migration to address_space_operations as well as some page flags. If a driver want to make own pages movable, it should define three functions which are function pointers of struct address_space_operations. 1. bool (*isolate_page) (struct page *page, isolate_mode_t mode); What VM expects on isolate_page function of driver is to return *true* if driver isolates page successfully. On returing true, VM marks the page as PG_isolated so concurrent isolation in several CPUs skip the page for isolation. If a driver cannot isolate the page, it should return *false*. Once page is successfully isolated, VM uses page.lru fields so driver shouldn't expect to preserve values in that fields. 2. int (*migratepage) (struct address_space *mapping, struct page *newpage, struct page *oldpage, enum migrate_mode); After isolation, VM calls migratepage of driver with isolated page. The function of migratepage is to move content of the old page to new page and set up fields of struct page newpage. Keep in mind that you should indicate to the VM the oldpage is no longer movable via __ClearPageMovable() under page_lock if you migrated the oldpage successfully and returns 0. If driver cannot migrate the page at the moment, driver can return -EAGAIN. On -EAGAIN, VM will retry page migration in a short time because VM interprets -EAGAIN as "temporal migration failure". On returning any error except -EAGAIN, VM will give up the page migration without retrying in this time. Driver shouldn't touch page.lru field VM using in the functions. 3. void (*putback_page)(struct page *); If migration fails on isolated page, VM should return the isolated page to the driver so VM calls driver's putback_page with migration failed page. In this function, driver should put the isolated page back to the own data structure. 4. non-lru movable page flags There are two page flags for supporting non-lru movable page. * PG_movable Driver should use the below function to make page movable under page_lock. void __SetPageMovable(struct page *page, struct address_space *mapping) It needs argument of address_space for registering migration family functions which will be called by VM. Exactly speaking, PG_movable is not a real flag of struct page. Rather than, VM reuses page->mapping's lower bits to represent it. #define PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE 0x2 page->mapping = page->mapping | PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE; so driver shouldn't access page->mapping directly. Instead, driver should use page_mapping which mask off the low two bits of page->mapping so it can get right struct address_space. For testing of non-lru movable page, VM supports __PageMovable function. However, it doesn't guarantee to identify non-lru movable page because page->mapping field is unified with other variables in struct page. As well, if driver releases the page after isolation by VM, page->mapping doesn't have stable value although it has PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE (Look at __ClearPageMovable). But __PageMovable is cheap to catch whether page is LRU or non-lru movable once the page has been isolated. Because LRU pages never can have PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE in page->mapping. It is also good for just peeking to test non-lru movable pages before more expensive checking with lock_page in pfn scanning to select victim. For guaranteeing non-lru movable page, VM provides PageMovable function. Unlike __PageMovable, PageMovable functions validates page->mapping and mapping->a_ops->isolate_page under lock_page. The lock_page prevents sudden destroying of page->mapping. Driver using __SetPageMovable should clear the flag via __ClearMovablePage under page_lock before the releasing the page. * PG_isolated To prevent concurrent isolation among several CPUs, VM marks isolated page as PG_isolated under lock_page. So if a CPU encounters PG_isolated non-lru movable page, it can skip it. Driver doesn't need to manipulate the flag because VM will set/clear it automatically. Keep in mind that if driver sees PG_isolated page, it means the page have been isolated by VM so it shouldn't touch page.lru field. PG_isolated is alias with PG_reclaim flag so driver shouldn't use the flag for own purpose.

mm/init: fix zone boundary creation
As a part of memory initialisation the architecture passes an array to
free_area_init_nodes() which specifies the max PFN of each memory zone.
This array is not necessarily monotonic (due to unused zones) so this
array is parsed to build monotonic lists of the min and max PFN for each
zone. ZONE_MOVABLE is special cased here as its limits are managed by
the mm subsystem rather than the architecture. Unfortunately, this
special casing is broken when ZONE_MOVABLE is the not the last zone in
the zone list. The core of the issue is:
if (i == ZONE_MOVABLE)
continue;
arch_zone_lowest_possible_pfn[i] =
arch_zone_highest_possible_pfn[i-1];
As ZONE_MOVABLE is skipped the lowest_possible_pfn of the next zone will
be set to zero. This patch fixes this bug by adding explicitly tracking
where the next zone should start rather than relying on the contents
arch_zone_highest_possible_pfn[].
Thie is low priority. To get bitten by this you need to enable a zone
that appears after ZONE_MOVABLE in the zone_type enum. As far as I can
tell this means running a kernel with ZONE_DEVICE or ZONE_CMA enabled,
so I can't see this affecting too many people.
I only noticed this because I've been fiddling with ZONE_DEVICE on
powerpc and 4.6 broke my test kernel. This bug, in conjunction with the
changes in Taku Izumi's kernelcore=mirror patch (

mm, page_alloc: recalculate the preferred zoneref if the context can ignore memory policies
The optimistic fast path may use cpuset_current_mems_allowed instead of
of a NULL nodemask supplied by the caller for cpuset allocations. The
preferred zone is calculated on this basis for statistic purposes and as
a starting point in the zonelist iterator.
However, if the context can ignore memory policies due to being atomic
or being able to ignore watermarks then the starting point in the
zonelist iterator is no longer correct. This patch resets the zonelist
iterator in the allocator slowpath if the context can ignore memory
policies. This will alter the zone used for statistics but only after
it is known that it makes sense for that context. Resetting it before
entering the slowpath would potentially allow an ALLOC_CPUSET allocation
to be accounted for against the wrong zone. Note that while nodemask is
not explicitly set to the original nodemask, it would only have been
overwritten if cpuset_enabled() and it was reset before the slowpath was
entered.

mm, oom: protect !costly allocations some more for !CONFIG_COMPACTION
Joonsoo has reported that he is able to trigger OOM for !costly high order requests (heavy fork() workload close the OOM) with the new oom detection rework. This is because we rely only on should_reclaim_retry when the compaction is disabled and it only checks watermarks for the requested order and so we might trigger OOM when there is a lot of free memory. It is not very clear what are the usual workloads when the compaction is disabled. Relying on high order allocations heavily without any mechanism to create those orders except for unbound amount of reclaim is certainly not a good idea. To prevent from potential regressions let's help this configuration some. We have to sacrifice the determinsm though because there simply is none here possible. should_compact_retry implementation for !CONFIG_COMPACTION, which was empty so far, will do watermark check for order-0 on all eligible zones. This will cause retrying until either the reclaim cannot make any further progress or all the zones are depleted even for order-0 pages. This means that the number of retries is basically unbounded for !costly orders but that was the case before the rework as well so this shouldn't regress.

mm, oom, compaction: prevent from should_compact_retry looping for ever for costly orders
"mm: consider compaction feedback also for costly allocation" has
removed the upper bound for the reclaim/compaction retries based on the
number of reclaimed pages for costly orders. While this is desirable
the patch did miss a mis interaction between reclaim, compaction and the
retry logic. The direct reclaim tries to get zones over min watermark
while compaction backs off and returns COMPACT_SKIPPED when all zones
are below low watermark + 1<<order gap. If we are getting really close
to OOM then __compaction_suitable can keep returning COMPACT_SKIPPED a
high order request (e.g. hugetlb order-9) while the reclaim is not able
to release enough pages to get us over low watermark. The reclaim is
still able to make some progress (usually trashing over few remaining
pages) so we are not able to break out from the loop.
I have seen this happening with the same test described in "mm: consider
compaction feedback also for costly allocation" on a swapless system.
The original problem got resolved by "vmscan: consider classzone_idx in
compaction_ready" but it shows how things might go wrong when we
approach the oom event horizont.
The reason why compaction requires being over low rather than min
watermark is not clear to me. This check was there essentially since

mm: consider compaction feedback also for costly allocation
PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER retry logic is mostly handled inside
should_reclaim_retry currently where we decide to not retry after at
least order worth of pages were reclaimed or the watermark check for at
least one zone would succeed after reclaiming all pages if the reclaim
hasn't made any progress. Compaction feedback is mostly ignored and we
just try to make sure that the compaction did at least something before
giving up.
The first condition was added by

mm, oom: protect !costly allocations some more
should_reclaim_retry will give up retries for higher order allocations if none of the eligible zones has any requested or higher order pages available even if we pass the watermak check for order-0. This is done because there is no guarantee that the reclaimable and currently free pages will form the required order. This can, however, lead to situations where the high-order request (e.g. order-2 required for the stack allocation during fork) will trigger OOM too early - e.g. after the first reclaim/compaction round. Such a system would have to be highly fragmented and there is no guarantee further reclaim/compaction attempts would help but at least make sure that the compaction was active before we go OOM and keep retrying even if should_reclaim_retry tells us to oom if - the last compaction round backed off or - we haven't completed at least MAX_COMPACT_RETRIES active compaction rounds. The first rule ensures that the very last attempt for compaction was not ignored while the second guarantees that the compaction has done some work. Multiple retries might be needed to prevent occasional pigggy backing of other contexts to steal the compacted pages before the current context manages to retry to allocate them. compaction_failed() is taken as a final word from the compaction that the retry doesn't make much sense. We have to be careful though because the first compaction round is MIGRATE_ASYNC which is rather weak as it ignores pages under writeback and gives up too easily in other situations. We therefore have to make sure that MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT mode has been used before we give up. With this logic in place we do not have to increase the migration mode unconditionally and rather do it only if the compaction failed for the weaker mode. A nice side effect is that the stronger migration mode is used only when really needed so this has a potential of smaller latencies in some cases. Please note that the compaction doesn't tell us much about how successful it was when returning compaction_made_progress so we just have to blindly trust that another retry is worthwhile and cap the number to something reasonable to guarantee a convergence. If the given number of successful retries is not sufficient for a reasonable workloads we should focus on the collected compaction tracepoints data and try to address the issue in the compaction code. If this is not feasible we can increase the retries limit.

mm, oom: rework oom detection
__alloc_pages_slowpath has traditionally relied on the direct reclaim and did_some_progress as an indicator that it makes sense to retry allocation rather than declaring OOM. shrink_zones had to rely on zone_reclaimable if shrink_zone didn't make any progress to prevent from a premature OOM killer invocation - the LRU might be full of dirty or writeback pages and direct reclaim cannot clean those up. zone_reclaimable allows to rescan the reclaimable lists several times and restart if a page is freed. This is really subtle behavior and it might lead to a livelock when a single freed page keeps allocator looping but the current task will not be able to allocate that single page. OOM killer would be more appropriate than looping without any progress for unbounded amount of time. This patch changes OOM detection logic and pulls it out from shrink_zone which is too low to be appropriate for any high level decisions such as OOM which is per zonelist property. It is __alloc_pages_slowpath which knows how many attempts have been done and what was the progress so far therefore it is more appropriate to implement this logic. The new heuristic is implemented in should_reclaim_retry helper called from __alloc_pages_slowpath. It tries to be more deterministic and easier to follow. It builds on an assumption that retrying makes sense only if the currently reclaimable memory + free pages would allow the current allocation request to succeed (as per __zone_watermark_ok) at least for one zone in the usable zonelist. This alone wouldn't be sufficient, though, because the writeback might get stuck and reclaimable pages might be pinned for a really long time or even depend on the current allocation context. Therefore there is a backoff mechanism implemented which reduces the reclaim target after each reclaim round without any progress. This means that we should eventually converge to only NR_FREE_PAGES as the target and fail on the wmark check and proceed to OOM. The backoff is simple and linear with 1/16 of the reclaimable pages for each round without any progress. We are optimistic and reset counter for successful reclaim rounds. Costly high order pages mostly preserve their semantic and those without __GFP_REPEAT fail right away while those which have the flag set will back off after the amount of reclaimable pages reaches equivalent of the requested order. The only difference is that if there was no progress during the reclaim we rely on zone watermark check. This is more logical thing to do than previous 1<<order attempts which were a result of zone_reclaimable faking the progress.

mm, compaction: simplify __alloc_pages_direct_compact feedback interface
__alloc_pages_direct_compact communicates potential back off by two variables: - deferred_compaction tells that the compaction returned COMPACT_DEFERRED - contended_compaction is set when there is a contention on zone->lock resp. zone->lru_lock locks __alloc_pages_slowpath then backs of for THP allocation requests to prevent from long stalls. This is rather messy and it would be much cleaner to return a single compact result value and hide all the nasty details into __alloc_pages_direct_compact.

mm: vmscan: reduce size of inactive file list
The inactive file list should still be large enough to contain readahead windows and freshly written file data, but it no longer is the only source for detecting multiple accesses to file pages. The workingset refault measurement code causes recently evicted file pages that get accessed again after a shorter interval to be promoted directly to the active list. With that mechanism in place, we can afford to (on a larger system) dedicate more memory to the active file list, so we can actually cache more of the frequently used file pages in memory, and not have them pushed out by streaming writes, once-used streaming file reads, etc. This can help things like database workloads, where only half the page cache can currently be used to cache the database working set. This patch automatically increases that fraction on larger systems, using the same ratio that has already been used for anonymous memory.

The page allocator fast path uses either the requested nodemask or cpuset_current_mems_allowed if cpusets are enabled. If the allocation context allows watermarks to be ignored then it can also ignore memory policies. However, on entering the allocator slowpath the nodemask may still be cpuset_current_mems_allowed and the policies are enforced.

mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP
Every page allocated checks a number of page fields for validity. This
catches corruption bugs of pages that are already freed but it is
expensive. This patch weakens the debugging check by checking PCP pages
only when the PCP lists are being refilled. All compound pages are
checked. This potentially avoids debugging checks entirely if the PCP
lists are never emptied and refilled so some corruption issues may be
missed. Full checking requires DEBUG_VM.

cpuset: use static key better and convert to new API
An important function for cpusets is cpuset_node_allowed(), which
optimizes on the fact if there's a single root CPU set, it must be
trivially allowed. But the check "nr_cpusets() <= 1" doesn't use the
cpusets_enabled_key static key the right way where static keys eliminate
branching overhead with jump labels.
This patch converts it so that static key is used properly. It's also
switched to the new static key API and the checking functions are
converted to return bool instead of int. We also provide a new variant
__cpuset_zone_allowed() which expects that the static key check was
already done and they key was enabled. This is needed for
get_page_from_freelist() where we want to also avoid the relatively
slower check when ALLOC_CPUSET is not set in alloc_flags.
The impact on the page allocator microbenchmark is less than expected
but the cleanup in itself is worthwhile.

mm, page_alloc: check multiple page fields with a single branch
Every page allocated or freed is checked for sanity to avoid corruptions
that are difficult to detect later. A bad page could be due to a number
of fields. Instead of using multiple branches, this patch combines
multiple fields into a single branch. A detailed check is only
necessary if that check fails.

mm, page_alloc: avoid looking up the first zone in a zonelist twice
The allocator fast path looks up the first usable zone in a zonelist and
then get_page_from_freelist does the same job in the zonelist iterator.

mm, page_alloc: shortcut watermark checks for order-0 pages
Watermarks have to be checked on every allocation including the number
of pages being allocated and whether reserves can be accessed. The
reserves only matter if memory is limited and the free_pages adjustment
only applies to high-order pages. This patch adds a shortcut for
order-0 pages that avoids numerous calculations if there is plenty of
free memory yielding the following performance difference in a page
allocator microbenchmark;

mm, page_alloc: reduce cost of fair zone allocation policy retry
The fair zone allocation policy is not without cost but it can be
reduced slightly. This patch removes an unnecessary local variable,
checks the likely conditions of the fair zone policy first, uses a bool
instead of a flags check and falls through when a remote node is
encountered instead of doing a full restart. The benefit is marginal
but it's there

The benefit is marginal at best but one of the most important benefits,
avoiding a second search when falling back to another node is not
triggered by this particular test so the benefit for some corner cases
is understated.

mm, page_alloc: inline the fast path of the zonelist iterator
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.
The performance difference on a page allocator microbenchmark is;

mm, page_alloc: use new PageAnonHead helper in the free page fast path
The PageAnon check always checks for compound_head but this is a
relatively expensive check if the caller already knows the page is a
head page. This patch creates a helper and uses it in the page free
path which only operates on head pages.
With this patch and "Only check PageCompound for high-order pages", the
performance difference on a page allocator microbenchmark is;

There is a sizable boost to the free allocator performance. While there
is an apparent boost on the allocation side, it's likely a co-incidence
or due to the patches slightly reducing cache footprint.

mm, page_alloc: only check PageCompound for high-order pages
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

mm, oom: move GFP_NOFS check to out_of_memory
__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.

mm/page_alloc: correct highmem memory statistics
ZONE_MOVABLE could be treated as highmem so we need to consider it for accurate statistics. And, in following patches, ZONE_CMA will be introduced and it can be treated as highmem, too. So, instead of manually adding stat of ZONE_MOVABLE, looping all zones and check whether the zone is highmem or not and add stat of the zone which can be treated as highmem.

power: add zone range overlapping check
There is a system thats node's pfns are overlapped as follows: -----pfn--------> N0 N1 N2 N0 N1 N2 Therefore, we need to care this overlapping when iterating pfn range. mark_free_pages() iterates requested zone's pfn range and unset all range's bitmap first. And then it marks freepages in a zone to the bitmap. If there is an overlapping zone, above unset could clear previous marked bit and reference to this bitmap in the future will cause the problem. To prevent it, this patch adds a zone check in mark_free_pages().

mm: rename _count, field of the struct page, to _refcount
Many developers already know that field for reference count of the struct page is _count and atomic type. They would try to handle it directly and this could break the purpose of page reference count tracepoint. To prevent direct _count modification, this patch rename it to _refcount and add warning message on the code. After that, developer who need to handle reference count will find that field should not be accessed directly.

mm: update min_free_kbytes from khugepaged after core initialization
Khugepaged attempts to raise min_free_kbytes if its set too low.
However, on boot khugepaged sets min_free_kbytes first from
subsys_initcall(), and then the mm 'core' over-rides min_free_kbytes
after from init_per_zone_wmark_min(), via a module_init() call.
Khugepaged used to use a late_initcall() to set min_free_kbytes (such
that it occurred after the core initialization), however this was
removed when the initialization of min_free_kbytes was integrated into
the starting of the khugepaged thread.
The fix here is simply to invoke the core initialization using a
core_initcall() instead of module_init(), such that the previous
initialization ordering is restored. I didn't restore the
late_initcall() since start_stop_khugepaged() already sets
min_free_kbytes via set_recommended_min_free_kbytes().
This was noticed when we had a number of page allocation failures when
moving a workload to a kernel with this new initialization ordering. On
an 8GB system this restores min_free_kbytes back to 67584 from 11365
when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y is set and either
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS=y or
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE=y.

mm/page_alloc: prevent merging between isolated and other pageblocks
Hanjun Guo has reported that a CMA stress test causes broken accounting of CMA and free pages: > Before the test, I got: > -bash-4.3# cat /proc/meminfo | grep Cma > CmaTotal: 204800 kB > CmaFree: 195044 kB > > > After running the test: > -bash-4.3# cat /proc/meminfo | grep Cma > CmaTotal: 204800 kB > CmaFree: 6602584 kB > > So the freed CMA memory is more than total.. > > Also the the MemFree is more than mem total: > > -bash-4.3# cat /proc/meminfo > MemTotal: 16342016 kB > MemFree: 22367268 kB > MemAvailable: 22370528 kB Laura Abbott has confirmed the issue and suspected the freepage accounting rewrite around 3.18/4.0 by Joonsoo Kim. Joonsoo had a theory that this is caused by unexpected merging between MIGRATE_ISOLATE and MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks: > CMA isolates MAX_ORDER aligned blocks, but, during the process, > partialy isolated block exists. If MAX_ORDER is 11 and > pageblock_order is 9, two pageblocks make up MAX_ORDER > aligned block and I can think following scenario because pageblock > (un)isolation would be done one by one. > > (each character means one pageblock. 'C', 'I' means MIGRATE_CMA, > MIGRATE_ISOLATE, respectively. > > CC -> IC -> II (Isolation) > II -> CI -> CC (Un-isolation) > > If some pages are freed at this intermediate state such as IC or CI, > that page could be merged to the other page that is resident on > different type of pageblock and it will cause wrong freepage count. This was supposed to be prevented by CMA operating on MAX_ORDER blocks, but since it doesn't hold the zone->lock between pageblocks, a race window does exist. It's also likely that unexpected merging can occur between MIGRATE_ISOLATE and non-CMA pageblocks. This should be prevented in __free_one_page() since commit |

mm: meminit: initialise more memory for inode/dentry hash tables in early boot
Upstream has supported page parallel initialisation for X86 and the boot
time is improved greately. Some tests have been done for Power.
Here is the result I have done with different memory size.
* 4GB memory:
boot time is as the following:
with patch vs without patch: 10.4s vs 24.5s
boot time is improved 57%
* 200GB memory:
boot time looks the same with and without patches.
boot time is about 38s
* 32TB memory:
boot time looks the same with and without patches
boot time is about 160s.
The boot time is much shorter than X86 with 24TB memory.
From community discussion, it costs about 694s for X86 24T system.
Parallel initialisation improves the performance by deferring memory
initilisation to kswap with N kthreads, it should improve the performance
therotically.
In testing on X86, performance is improved greatly with huge memory. But
on Power platform, it is improved greatly with less than 100GB memory.
For huge memory, it is not improved greatly. But it saves the time with
several threads at least, as the following information shows(32TB system
log):
[ 22.648169] node 9 initialised, 16607461 pages in 280ms
[ 22.783772] node 3 initialised, 23937243 pages in 410ms
[ 22.858877] node 6 initialised, 29179347 pages in 490ms
[ 22.863252] node 2 initialised, 29179347 pages in 490ms

[ 22.923236] node 4 initialised, 32306127 pages in 550ms
[ 22.923384] node 12 initialised, 32314319 pages in 550ms
[ 22.924754] node 8 initialised, 32314319 pages in 550ms
[ 22.940780] node 13 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms
[ 22.940796] node 11 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms
[ 22.941700] node 5 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms

[ 22.941876] node 7 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms
[ 22.944946] node 14 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms
[ 22.946063] node 1 initialised, 33345485 pages in 580ms
It saves the time about 550*16 ms at least, although it can be ignore to
compare the boot time about 160 seconds. What's more, the boot time is
much shorter on Power even without patches than x86 for huge memory
machine.
So this patchset is still necessary to be enabled for Power.
This patch (of 2):
This patch is based on Mel Gorman's old patch in the mailing list,
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/5/280 which is discussed but it is fixed with
a completion to wait for all memory initialised in page_alloc_init_late().
It is to fix the OOM problem on X86 with 24TB memory which allocates
memory in late initialisation. But for Power platform with 32TB memory,
it causes a call trace in vfs_caches_init->inode_init() and inode hash
table needs more memory. So this patch allocates 1GB for 0.25TB/node for
large system as it is mentioned in https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/1/627
This call trace is found on Power with 32TB memory, 1024CPUs, 16nodes.
Currently, it only allocates 2GB*16=32GB for early initialisation. But
Dentry cache hash table needes 16GB and Inode cache hash table needs 16GB.
So the system have no enough memory for it. The log from dmesg as the
following:
Dentry cache hash table entries: 2147483648 (order: 18,17179869184 bytes)

mm: introduce page reference manipulation functions
The success of CMA allocation largely depends on the success of migration and key factor of it is page reference count. Until now, page reference is manipulated by direct calling atomic functions so we cannot follow up who and where manipulate it. Then, it is hard to find actual reason of CMA allocation failure. CMA allocation should be guaranteed to succeed so finding offending place is really important. In this patch, call sites where page reference is manipulated are converted to introduced wrapper function. This is preparation step to add tracepoint to each page reference manipulation function. With this facility, we can easily find reason of CMA allocation failure. There is no functional change in this patch. In addition, this patch also converts reference read sites. It will help a second step that renames page._count to something else and prevents later attempt to direct access to it (Suggested by Andrew).

mm: thp: set THP defrag by default to madvise and add a stall-free defrag option
THP defrag is enabled by default to direct reclaim/compact but not wake
kswapd in the event of a THP allocation failure. The problem is that
THP allocation requests potentially enter reclaim/compaction. This
potentially incurs a severe stall that is not guaranteed to be offset by
reduced TLB misses. While there has been considerable effort to reduce
the impact of reclaim/compaction, it is still a high cost and workloads
that should fit in memory fail to do so. Specifically, a simple
anon/file streaming workload will enter direct reclaim on NUMA at least
even though the working set size is 80% of RAM. It's been years and
it's time to throw in the towel.
First, this patch defines THP defrag as follows;
madvise: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact if the application requests it
never: Neither reclaim/compact nor wake kswapd
defer: A failed allocation will wake kswapd/kcompactd
always: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact (historical behaviour)
khugepaged defrag will enter direct/reclaim but not wake kswapd.
Next it sets the default defrag option to be "madvise" to only enter
direct reclaim/compaction for applications that specifically requested
it.
Lastly, it removes a check from the page allocator slowpath that is
related to __GFP_THISNODE to allow "defer" to work. The callers that
really cares are slub/slab and they are updated accordingly. The slab
one may be surprising because it also corrects a comment as kswapd was
never woken up by that path.
This means that a THP fault will no longer stall for most applications
by default and the ideal for most users that get THP if they are
immediately available. There are still options for users that prefer a
stall at startup of a new application by either restoring historical
behaviour with "always" or pick a half-way point with "defer" where
kswapd does some of the work in the background and wakes kcompactd if
necessary. THP defrag for khugepaged remains enabled and will enter
direct/reclaim but no wakeup kswapd or kcompactd.
After this patch a THP allocation failure will quickly fallback and rely
on khugepaged to recover the situation at some time in the future. In
some cases, this will reduce THP usage but the benefit of THP is hard to
measure and not a universal win where as a stall to reclaim/compaction
is definitely measurable and can be painful.
The first test for this is using "usemem" to read a large file and write
a large anonymous mapping (to avoid the zero page) multiple times. The
total size of the mappings is 80% of RAM and the benchmark simply
measures how long it takes to complete. It uses multiple threads to see
if that is a factor. On UMA, the performance is almost identical so is
not reported but on NUMA, we see this

mm: scale kswapd watermarks in proportion to memory
In machines with 140G of memory and enterprise flash storage, we have seen read and write bursts routinely exceed the kswapd watermarks and cause thundering herds in direct reclaim. Unfortunately, the only way to tune kswapd aggressiveness is through adjusting min_free_kbytes - the system's emergency reserves - which is entirely unrelated to the system's latency requirements. In order to get kswapd to maintain a 250M buffer of free memory, the emergency reserves need to be set to 1G. That is a lot of memory wasted for no good reason. On the other hand, it's reasonable to assume that allocation bursts and overall allocation concurrency scale with memory capacity, so it makes sense to make kswapd aggressiveness a function of that as well. Change the kswapd watermark scale factor from the currently fixed 25% of the tunable emergency reserve to a tunable 0.1% of memory. Beyond 1G of memory, this will produce bigger watermark steps than the current formula in default settings. Ensure that the new formula never chooses steps smaller than that, i.e. 25% of the emergency reserve. On a 140G machine, this raises the default watermark steps - the distance between min and low, and low and high - from 16M to 143M.

Add a new field, VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_AVAIL, to virtio_balloon memory statistics protocol, corresponding to 'Available' in /proc/meminfo. It indicates to the hypervisor how big the balloon can be inflated without pushing the guest system to swap. This metric would be very useful in VM orchestration software to improve memory management of different VMs under overcommit. This patch (of 2): Factor out calculation of the available memory counter into a separate exportable function, in order to be able to use it in other parts of the kernel.

mm, compaction: introduce kcompactd
Memory compaction can be currently performed in several contexts: - kswapd balancing a zone after a high-order allocation failure - direct compaction to satisfy a high-order allocation, including THP page fault attemps - khugepaged trying to collapse a hugepage - manually from /proc The purpose of compaction is two-fold. The obvious purpose is to satisfy a (pending or future) high-order allocation, and is easy to evaluate. The other purpose is to keep overal memory fragmentation low and help the anti-fragmentation mechanism. The success wrt the latter purpose is more The current situation wrt the purposes has a few drawbacks: - compaction is invoked only when a high-order page or hugepage is not available (or manually). This might be too late for the purposes of keeping memory fragmentation low. - direct compaction increases latency of allocations. Again, it would be better if compaction was performed asynchronously to keep fragmentation low, before the allocation itself comes. - (a special case of the previous) the cost of compaction during THP page faults can easily offset the benefits of THP. - kswapd compaction appears to be complex, fragile and not working in some scenarios. It could also end up compacting for a high-order allocation request when it should be reclaiming memory for a later order-0 request. To improve the situation, we should be able to benefit from an equivalent of kswapd, but for compaction - i.e. a background thread which responds to fragmentation and the need for high-order allocations (including hugepages) somewhat proactively. One possibility is to extend the responsibilities of kswapd, which could however complicate its design too much. It should be better to let kswapd handle reclaim, as order-0 allocations are often more critical than high-order ones. Another possibility is to extend khugepaged, but this kthread is a single instance and tied to THP configs. This patch goes with the option of a new set of per-node kthreads called kcompactd, and lays the foundations, without introducing any new tunables. The lifecycle mimics kswapd kthreads, including the memory hotplug hooks. For compaction, kcompactd uses the standard compaction_suitable() and ompact_finished() criteria and the deferred compaction functionality. Unlike direct compaction, it uses only sync compaction, as there's no allocation latency to minimize. This patch doesn't yet add a call to wakeup_kcompactd. The kswapd compact/reclaim loop for high-order pages will be replaced by waking up kcompactd in the next patch with the description of what's wrong with the old approach. Waking up of the kcompactd threads is also tied to kswapd activity and follows these rules: - we don't want to affect any fastpaths, so wake up kcompactd only from the slowpath, as it's done for kswapd - if kswapd is doing reclaim, it's more important than compaction, so don't invoke kcompactd until kswapd goes to sleep - the target order used for kswapd is passed to kcompactd Future possible future uses for kcompactd include the ability to wake up kcompactd on demand in special situations, such as when hugepages are not available (currently not done due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD) or when a fragmentation event (i.e. __rmqueue_fallback()) occurs. It's also possible to perform periodic compaction with kcompactd.

mm/compaction: speed up pageblock_pfn_to_page() when zone is contiguous
There is a performance drop report due to hugepage allocation and in there half of cpu time are spent on pageblock_pfn_to_page() in compaction [1]. In that workload, compaction is triggered to make hugepage but most of pageblocks are un-available for compaction due to pageblock type and skip bit so compaction usually fails. Most costly operations in this case is to find valid pageblock while scanning whole zone range. To check if pageblock is valid to compact, valid pfn within pageblock is required and we can obtain it by calling pageblock_pfn_to_page(). This function checks whether pageblock is in a single zone and return valid pfn if possible. Problem is that we need to check it every time before scanning pageblock even if we re-visit it and this turns out to be very expensive in this workload. Although we have no way to skip this pageblock check in the system where hole exists at arbitrary position, we can use cached value for zone continuity and just do pfn_to_page() in the system where hole doesn't exist. This optimization considerably speeds up in above workload. Before vs After Max: 1096 MB/s vs 1325 MB/s Min: 635 MB/s 1015 MB/s Avg: 899 MB/s 1194 MB/s Avg is improved by roughly 30% [2].

mm/page_poisoning.c: allow for zero poisoning
By default, page poisoning uses a poison value (0xaa) on free. If this is changed to 0, the page is not only sanitized but zeroing on alloc with __GFP_ZERO can be skipped as well. The tradeoff is that detecting corruption from the poisoning is harder to detect. This feature also cannot be used with hibernation since pages are not guaranteed to be zeroed after hibernation.

mm/page_poison.c: enable PAGE_POISONING as a separate option
Page poisoning is currently set up as a feature if architectures don't have architecture debug page_alloc to allow unmapping of pages. It has uses apart from that though. Clearing of the pages on free provides an increase in security as it helps to limit the risk of information leaks. Allow page poisoning to be enabled as a separate option independent of kernel_map pages since the two features do separate work. Because of how hiberanation is implemented, the checks on alloc cannot occur if hibernation is enabled. The runtime alloc checks can also be enabled with an option when !HIBERNATION.

mm, debug: move bad flags printing to bad_page()
Since bad_page() is the only user of the badflags parameter of dump_page_badflags(), we can move the code to bad_page() and simplify a bit. The dump_page_badflags() function is renamed to __dump_page() and can still be called separately from dump_page() for temporary debug prints where page_owner info is not desired. The only user-visible change is that page->mem_cgroup is printed before the bad flags.

mm, page_owner: dump page owner info from dump_page()
The page_owner mechanism is useful for dealing with memory leaks. By reading /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner one can determine the stack traces leading to allocations of all pages, and find e.g. a buggy driver. This information might be also potentially useful for debugging, such as the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() calls to dump_page(). So let's print the stored info from dump_page(). Example output: page:ffffea000292f1c0 count:1 mapcount:0 mapping:ffff8800b2f6cc18 index:0x91d flags: 0x1fffff8001002c(referenced|uptodate|lru|mappedtodisk) page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(1) page->mem_cgroup:ffff8801392c5000 page allocated via order 0, migratetype Movable, gfp_mask 0x24213ca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_COLD|__GFP_NOWARN|__GFP_NORETRY) [<ffffffff811682c4>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x134/0x230 [<ffffffff811b40c8>] alloc_pages_current+0x88/0x120 [<ffffffff8115e386>] __page_cache_alloc+0xe6/0x120 [<ffffffff8116ba6c>] __do_page_cache_readahead+0xdc/0x240 [<ffffffff8116bd05>] ondemand_readahead+0x135/0x260 [<ffffffff8116be9c>] page_cache_async_readahead+0x6c/0x70 [<ffffffff811604c2>] generic_file_read_iter+0x3f2/0x760 [<ffffffff811e0dc7>] __vfs_read+0xa7/0xd0 page has been migrated, last migrate reason: compaction Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com> Cc: "Kirill A.

mm, page_owner: print migratetype of page and pageblock, symbolic flags
The information in /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner includes the migratetype of the pageblock the page belongs to. This is also checked against the page's migratetype (as declared by gfp_flags during its allocation), and the page is reported as Fallback if its migratetype differs from the pageblock's one. t This is somewhat misleading because in fact fallback allocation is not the only reason why these two can differ. It also doesn't direcly provide the page's migratetype, although it's possible to derive that from the gfp_flags. It's arguably better to print both page and pageblock's migratetype and leave the interpretation to the consumer than to suggest fallback allocation as the only possible reason. While at it, we can print the migratetypes as string the same way as /proc/pagetypeinfo does, as some of the numeric values depend on kernel configuration. For that, this patch moves the migratetype_names array from #ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS part of mm/vmstat.c to mm/page_alloc.c and exports it. With the new format strings for flags, we can now also provide symbolic page and gfp flags in the /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner file. This replaces the positional printing of page flags as single letters, which might have looked nicer, but was limited to a subset of flags, and required the user to remember the letters. Example page_owner entry after the patch: Page allocated via order 0, mask 0x24213ca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_COLD|__GFP_NOWARN|__GFP_NORETRY) PFN 520 type Movable Block 1 type Movable Flags 0xfffff8001006c(referenced|uptodate|lru|active|mappedtodisk) [<ffffffff811682c4>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x134/0x230 [<ffffffff811b4058>] alloc_pages_current+0x88/0x120 [<ffffffff8115e386>] __page_cache_alloc+0xe6/0x120 [<ffffffff8116ba6c>] __do_page_cache_readahead+0xdc/0x240 [<ffffffff8116bd05>] ondemand_readahead+0x135/0x260 [<ffffffff8116bfb1>] page_cache_sync_readahead+0x31/0x50 [<ffffffff81160523>] generic_file_read_iter+0x453/0x760 [<ffffffff811e0d57>] __vfs_read+0xa7/0xd0 Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com> Cc: "Kirill A.

mm/page_alloc.c: calculate zone_start_pfn at zone_spanned_pages_in_node()
Xeon E7 v3 based systems supports Address Range Mirroring and UEFI BIOS complied with UEFI spec 2.5 can notify which ranges are mirrored (reliable) via EFI memory map. Now Linux kernel utilize its information and allocates boot time memory from reliable region. My requirement is: - allocate kernel memory from mirrored region - allocate user memory from non-mirrored region In order to meet my requirement, ZONE_MOVABLE is useful. By arranging non-mirrored range into ZONE_MOVABLE, mirrored memory is used for kernel allocations. My idea is to extend existing "kernelcore" option and introduces kernelcore=mirror option. By specifying "mirror" instead of specifying the amount of memory, non-mirrored region will be arranged into ZONE_MOVABLE. Earlier discussions are at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/9/24 https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/15/9 https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/11/27/18 https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/12/8/836 For example, suppose 2-nodes system with the following memory range: node 0 [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x000000109fffffff] node 1 [mem 0x00000010a0000000-0x000000209fffffff] and the following ranges are marked as reliable (mirrored): [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000100000000] [0x0000000100000000-0x0000000180000000] [0x0000000800000000-0x0000000880000000] [0x00000010a0000000-0x0000001120000000] [0x00000017a0000000-0x0000001820000000] If you specify kernelcore=mirror, ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE are arranged like bellow: - node 0: ZONE_NORMAL : [0x0000000100000000-0x00000010a0000000] ZONE_MOVABLE: [0x0000000180000000-0x00000010a0000000] - node 1: ZONE_NORMAL : [0x00000010a0000000-0x00000020a0000000] ZONE_MOVABLE: [0x0000001120000000-0x00000020a0000000] In overlapped range, pages to be ZONE_MOVABLE in ZONE_NORMAL are treated as absent pages, and vice versa. This patch (of 2): Currently each zone's zone_start_pfn is calculated at free_area_init_core(). However zone's range is fixed at the time when invoking zone_spanned_pages_in_node(). This patch changes how each zone->zone_start_pfn is calculated in zone_spanned_pages_in_node().

The default vmemmap_populate() allocates page table storage area from the page allocator.

thp: introduce deferred_split_huge_page()
Currently we don't split huge page on partial unmap. It's not an ideal situation. It can lead to memory overhead. Furtunately, we can detect partial unmap on page_remove_rmap(). But we cannot call split_huge_page() from there due to locking context. It's also counterproductive to do directly from munmap() codepath: in many cases we will hit this from exit(2) and splitting the huge page just to free it up in small pages is not what we really want. The patch introduce deferred_split_huge_page() which put the huge page into queue for splitting. The splitting itself will happen when we get memory pressure via shrinker interface. The page will be dropped from list on freeing through compound page destructor. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

mm: rework mapcount accounting to enable 4k mapping of THPs
We're going to allow mapping of individual 4k pages of THP compound. It means we need to track mapcount on per small page basis. Straight-forward approach is to use ->_mapcount in all subpages to track how many time this subpage is mapped with PMDs or PTEs combined. But this is rather expensive: mapping or unmapping of a THP page with PMD would require HPAGE_PMD_NR atomic operations instead of single we have now. The idea is to store separately how many times the page was mapped as whole -- compound_mapcount. This frees up ->_mapcount in subpages to track PTE mapcount. We use the same approach as with compound page destructor and compound order to store compound_mapcount: use space in first tail page, ->mapping this time. Any time we map/unmap whole compound page (THP or hugetlb) -- we increment/decrement compound_mapcount. When we map part of compound page with PTE we operate on ->_mapcount of the subpage. page_mapcount() counts both: PTE and PMD mappings of the page. Basically, we have mapcount for a subpage spread over two counters. It makes tricky to detect when last mapcount for a page goes away. We introduced PageDoubleMap() for this. When we split THP PMD for the first time and there's other PMD mapping left we offset up ->_mapcount in all subpages by one and set PG_double_map on the compound page. These additional references go away with last compound_mapcount. This approach provides a way to detect when last mapcount goes away on per small page basis without introducing new overhead for most common cases.

mm, oom: give __GFP_NOFAIL allocations access to memory reserves
__GFP_NOFAIL is a big hammer used to ensure that the allocation request can never fail. This is a strong requirement and as such it also deserves a special treatment when the system is OOM. The primary problem here is that the allocation request might have come with some locks held and the oom victim might be blocked on the same locks. This is basically an OOM deadlock situation. This patch tries to reduce the risk of such a deadlocks by giving __GFP_NOFAIL allocations a special treatment and let them dive into memory reserves after oom killer invocation. This should help them to make a progress and release resources they are holding. The OOM victim should compensate for the reserves consumption.

mm: page_alloc: generalize the dirty balance reserve
The dirty balance reserve that dirty throttling has to consider is merely memory not available to userspace allocations. There is nothing writeback-specific about it.

mm/page_alloc.c: do not loop over ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS without triggering reclaim
__alloc_pages_slowpath is looping over ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS requests if __GFP_NOFAIL is requested. This is fragile because we are basically relying on somebody else to make the reclaim (be it the direct reclaim or OOM killer) for us. The caller might be holding resources (e.g. locks) which block other other reclaimers from making any progress for example. Remove the retry loop and rely on __alloc_pages_slowpath to invoke all allowed reclaim steps and retry logic. We have to be careful about __GFP_NOFAIL allocations from the PF_MEMALLOC context even though this is a very bad idea to begin with because no progress can be gurateed at all. We shouldn't break the __GFP_NOFAIL semantic here though. It could be argued that this is essentially GFP_NOWAIT context which we do not support but PF_MEMALLOC is much harder to check for existing users because they might happen deep down the code path performed much later after setting the flag so we cannot really rule out there is no kernel path triggering this combination.

mm/page_alloc.c: get rid of __alloc_pages_high_priority()
__alloc_pages_high_priority doesn't do anything special other than it calls get_page_from_freelist and loops around GFP_NOFAIL allocation until it succeeds. It would be better if the first part was done in __alloc_pages_slowpath where we modify the zonelist because this would be easier to read and understand. Opencoding the function into its only caller allows to simplify it a bit as well. This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

mm/cma: always check which page caused allocation failure
Now, we have tracepoint in test_pages_isolated() to notify pfn which cannot be isolated. But, in alloc_contig_range(), some error path doesn't call test_pages_isolated() so it's still hard to know exact pfn that causes allocation failure. This patch change this situation by calling test_pages_isolated() in almost error path. In allocation failure case, some overhead is added by this change, but, allocation failure is really rare event so it would not matter. In fatal signal pending case, we don't call test_pages_isolated() because this failure is intentional one. There was a bogus outer_start problem due to unchecked buddy order and this patch also fix it. Before this patch, it didn't matter, because end result is same thing. But, after this patch, tracepoint will report failed pfn so it should be accurate.

memcg: only account kmem allocations marked as __GFP_ACCOUNT
Black-list kmem accounting policy (aka __GFP_NOACCOUNT) turned out to be fragile and difficult to maintain, because there seem to be many more allocations that should not be accounted than those that should be. Besides, false accounting an allocation might result in much worse consequences than not accounting at all, namely increased memory consumption due to pinned dead kmem caches. So this patch switches kmem accounting to the white-policy: now only those kmem allocations that are marked as __GFP_ACCOUNT are accounted to memcg. Currently, no kmem allocations are marked like this. The following patches will mark several kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from userspace and therefore should be accounted to memcg.

mm: make compound_head() robust
Hugh has pointed that compound_head() call can be unsafe in some
context. There's one example:
CPU0 CPU1
isolate_migratepages_block()
page_count()
compound_head()
!!PageTail() == true
put_page()
tail->first_page = NULL
head = tail->first_page
alloc_pages(__GFP_COMP)
prep_compound_page()
tail->first_page = head
__SetPageTail(p);
!!PageTail() == true
<head == NULL dereferencing>
The race is pure theoretical. I don't it's possible to trigger it in
practice. But who knows.
We can fix the race by changing how encode PageTail() and compound_head()
within struct page to be able to update them in one shot.
The patch introduces page->compound_head into third double word block in
front of compound_dtor and compound_order. Bit 0 encodes PageTail() and
the rest bits are pointer to head page if bit zero is set.
The patch moves page->pmd_huge_pte out of word, just in case if an
architecture defines pgtable_t into something what can have the bit 0
set.
hugetlb_cgroup uses page->lru.next in the second tail page to store
pointer struct hugetlb_cgroup. The patch switch it to use page->private
in the second tail page instead. The space is free since ->first_page is
removed from the union.
The patch also opens possibility to remove HUGETLB_CGROUP_MIN_ORDER
limitation, since there's now space in first tail page to store struct
hugetlb_cgroup pointer. But that's out of scope of the patch.
That means page->compound_head shares storage space with:
- page->lru.next;
- page->next;
- page->rcu_head.next;
That's too long list to be absolutely sure, but looks like nobody uses
bit 0 of the word.
page->rcu_head.next guaranteed[1] to have bit 0 clean as long as we use
call_rcu(), call_rcu_bh(), call_rcu_sched(), or call_srcu(). But future
call_rcu_lazy() is not allowed as it makes use of the bit and we can
get false positive PageTail().

mm: pack compound_dtor and compound_order into one word in struct page
The patch halves space occupied by compound_dtor and compound_order in struct page. For compound_order, it's trivial long -> short conversion. For get_compound_page_dtor(), we now use hardcoded table for destructor lookup and store its index in the struct page instead of direct pointer to destructor. It shouldn't be a big trouble to maintain the table: we have only two destructor and NULL currently. This patch free up one word in tail pages for reuse. This is preparation for the next patch.

mm, page_alloc: only enforce watermarks for order-0 allocations
The primary purpose of watermarks is to ensure that reclaim can always make forward progress in PF_MEMALLOC context (kswapd and direct reclaim). These assume that order-0 allocations are all that is necessary for forward progress. High-order watermarks serve a different purpose. Kswapd had no high-order awareness before they were introduced (https://lkml.kernel.org/r/413AA7B2.4000907@yahoo.com.au). This was particularly important when there were high-order atomic requests. The watermarks both gave kswapd awareness and made a reserve for those atomic requests. There are two important side-effects of this. The most important is that a non-atomic high-order request can fail even though free pages are available and the order-0 watermarks are ok. The second is that high-order watermark checks are expensive as the free list counts up to the requested order must be examined. With the introduction of MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC it is no longer necessary to have high-order watermarks. Kswapd and compaction still need high-order awareness which is handled by checking that at least one suitable high-order page is free. With the patch applied, there was little difference in the allocation failure rates as the atomic reserves are small relative to the number of allocation attempts. The expected impact is that there will never be an allocation failure report that shows suitable pages on the free lists. The one potential side-effect of this is that in a vanilla kernel, the watermark checks may have kept a free page for an atomic allocation. Now, we are 100% relying on the HighAtomic reserves and an early allocation to have allocated them. If the first high-order atomic allocation is after the system is already heavily fragmented then it'll fail.

mm, page_alloc: reserve pageblocks for high-order atomic allocations on demand
High-order watermark checking exists for two reasons -- kswapd high-order awareness and protection for high-order atomic requests. Historically the kernel depended on MIGRATE_RESERVE to preserve min_free_kbytes as high-order free pages for as long as possible. This patch introduces MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC that reserves pageblocks for high-order atomic allocations on demand and avoids using those blocks for order-0 allocations. This is more flexible and reliable than MIGRATE_RESERVE was. A MIGRATE_HIGHORDER pageblock is created when an atomic high-order allocation request steals a pageblock but limits the total number to 1% of the zone. Callers that speculatively abuse atomic allocations for long-lived high-order allocations to access the reserve will quickly fail. Note that SLUB is currently not such an abuser as it reclaims at least once. It is possible that the pageblock stolen has few suitable high-order pages and will need to steal again in the near future but there would need to be strong justification to search all pageblocks for an ideal candidate. The pageblocks are unreserved if an allocation fails after a direct reclaim attempt. The watermark checks account for the reserved pageblocks when the allocation request is not a high-order atomic allocation. The reserved pageblocks can not be used for order-0 allocations. This may allow temporary wastage until a failed reclaim reassigns the pageblock. This is deliberate as the intent of the reservation is to satisfy a limited number of atomic high-order short-lived requests if the system requires them. The stutter benchmark was used to evaluate this but while it was running there was a systemtap script that randomly allocated between 1 high-order page and 12.5% of memory's worth of order-3 pages using GFP_ATOMIC. This is much larger than the potential reserve and it does not attempt to be realistic. It is intended to stress random high-order allocations from an unknown source, show that there is a reduction in failures without introducing an anomaly where atomic allocations are more reliable than regular allocations. The amount of memory reserved varied throughout the workload as reserves were created and reclaimed under memory pressure. The allocation failures once the workload warmed up were as follows; 4.2-rc5-vanilla 70% 4.2-rc5-atomic-reserve 56% The failure rate was also measured while building multiple kernels. The failure rate was 14% but is 6% with this patch applied. Overall, this is a small reduction but the reserves are small relative to the number of allocation requests. In early versions of the patch, the failure rate reduced by a much larger amount but that required much larger reserves and perversely made atomic allocations seem more reliable than regular allocations.

mm, page_alloc: remove MIGRATE_RESERVE
MIGRATE_RESERVE preserves an old property of the buddy allocator that existed prior to fragmentation avoidance -- min_free_kbytes worth of pages tended to remain contiguous until the only alternative was to fail the allocation. At the time it was discovered that high-order atomic allocations relied on this property so MIGRATE_RESERVE was introduced. A later patch will introduce an alternative MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC so this patch deletes MIGRATE_RESERVE and supporting code so it'll be easier to review. Note that this patch in isolation may look like a false regression if someone was bisecting high-order atomic allocation failures.

mm, page_alloc: delete the zonelist_cache
The zonelist cache (zlc) was introduced to skip over zones that were
recently known to be full. This avoided expensive operations such as the
cpuset checks, watermark calculations and zone_reclaim. The situation
today is different and the complexity of zlc is harder to justify.
1) The cpuset checks are no-ops unless a cpuset is active and in general
are a lot cheaper.
2) zone_reclaim is now disabled by default and I suspect that was a large
source of the cost that zlc wanted to avoid. When it is enabled, it's
known to be a major source of stalling when nodes fill up and it's
unwise to hit every other user with the overhead.
3) Watermark checks are expensive to calculate for high-order
allocation requests. Later patches in this series will reduce the cost
of the watermark checking.
4) The most important issue is that in the current implementation it
is possible for a failed THP allocation to mark a zone full for order-0
allocations and cause a fallback to remote nodes.
The last issue could be addressed with additional complexity but as the
benefit of zlc is questionable, it is better to remove it. If stalls due
to zone_reclaim are ever reported then an alternative would be to
introduce deferring logic based on a timeout inside zone_reclaim itself
and leave the page allocator fast paths alone.
The impact on page-allocator microbenchmarks is negligible as they don't
hit the paths where the zlc comes into play. Most page-reclaim related
workloads showed no noticeable difference as a result of the removal.
The impact was noticeable in a workload called "stutter". One part uses a
lot of anonymous memory, a second measures mmap latency and a third copies
a large file. In an ideal world the latency application would not notice
the mmap latency. On a 2-node machine the results of this patch are

Note that the maximum stall latency went from 24 seconds to 12 which is
still bad but an improvement. The milage varies considerably 2-node
machine on an earlier test went from 494 seconds to 47 seconds and a
4-node machine that tested an earlier version of this patch went from a
worst case stall time of 6 seconds to 67ms. The nature of the benchmark
is inherently unpredictable as it is hammering the system and the milage
will vary between machines.
There is a secondary impact with potentially more direct reclaim because
zones are now being considered instead of being skipped by zlc. In this
particular test run it did not occur so will not be described. However,
in at least one test the following was observed
1. Direct reclaim rates were higher. This was likely due to direct reclaim
being entered instead of the zlc disabling a zone and busy looping.
Busy looping may have the effect of allowing kswapd to make more
progress and in some cases may be better overall. If this is found then
the correct action is to put direct reclaimers to sleep on a waitqueue
and allow kswapd make forward progress. Busy looping on the zlc is even
worse than when the allocator used to blindly call congestion_wait().
2. There was higher swap activity as direct reclaim was active.
3. Direct reclaim efficiency was lower. This is related to 1 as more
scanning activity also encountered more pages that could not be
immediately reclaimed
In that case, the direct page scan and reclaim rates are noticeable but
it is not considered a problem for a few reasons
1. The test is primarily concerned with latency. The mmap attempts are also
faulted which means there are THP allocation requests. The ZLC could
cause zones to be disabled causing the process to busy loop instead
of reclaiming. This looks like elevated direct reclaim activity but
it's the correct action to take based on what processes requested.
2. The test hammers reclaim and compaction heavily. The number of successful
THP faults is highly variable but affects the reclaim stats. It's not a
realistic or reasonable measure of page reclaim activity.
3. No other page-reclaim intensive workload that was tested showed a problem.
4. If a workload is identified that benefitted from the busy looping then it
should be fixed by having direct reclaimers sleep on a wait queue until
woken by kswapd instead of busy looping. We had this class of problem before
when congestion_waits() with a fixed timeout was a brain damaged decision
but happened to benefit some workloads.
If a workload is identified that relied on the zlc to busy loop then it
should be fixed correctly and have a direct reclaimer sleep on a waitqueue
until woken by kswapd.

__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing __GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing them prevents it.

mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

mm, page_alloc: remove unnecessary recalculations for dirty zone balancing
File-backed pages that will be immediately written are balanced between zones. This heuristic tries to avoid having a single zone filled with recently dirtied pages but the checks are unnecessarily expensive. Move consider_zone_balanced into the alloc_context instead of checking bitmaps multiple times. The patch also gives the parameter a more meaningful name.

mm, page_alloc: remove unnecessary parameter from zone_watermark_ok_safe
Overall, the intent of this series is to remove the zonelist cache which was introduced to avoid high overhead in the page allocator. Once this is done, it is necessary to reduce the cost of watermark checks. The series starts with minor micro-optimisations. Next it notes that GFP flags that affect watermark checks are abused. __GFP_WAIT historically identified callers that could not sleep and could access reserves. This was later abused to identify callers that simply prefer to avoid sleeping and have other options. A patch distinguishes between atomic callers, high-priority callers and those that simply wish to avoid sleep. The zonelist cache has been around for a long time but it is of dubious merit with a lot of complexity and some issues that are explained. The most important issue is that a failed THP allocation can cause a zone to be treated as "full". This potentially causes unnecessary stalls, reclaim activity or remote fallbacks. The issues could be fixed but it's not worth it. The series places a small number of other micro-optimisations on top before examining GFP flags watermarks. High-order watermarks enforcement can cause high-order allocations to fail even though pages are free. The watermark checks both protect high-order atomic allocations and make kswapd aware of high-order pages but there is a much better way that can be handled using migrate types. This series uses page grouping by mobility to reserve pageblocks for high-order allocations with the size of the reservation depending on demand. kswapd awareness is maintained by examining the free lists. By patch 12 in this series, there are no high-order watermark checks while preserving the properties that motivated the introduction of the watermark checks. This patch (of 10): No user of zone_watermark_ok_safe() specifies alloc_flags. This patch removes the unnecessary parameter.

memcg: simplify charging kmem pages
Charging kmem pages proceeds in two steps. First, we try to charge the allocation size to the memcg the current task belongs to, then we allocate a page and "commit" the charge storing the pointer to the memcg in the page struct. Such a design looks overcomplicated, because there is not much sense in trying charging the allocation before actually allocating a page: we won't be able to consume much memory over the limit even if we charge after doing the actual allocation, besides we already charge user pages post factum, so being pedantic with kmem pages just looks pointless. So this patch simplifies the design by merging the "charge" and the "commit" steps into the same function, which takes the allocated page. Also, rename the charge and uncharge methods to memcg_kmem_charge and memcg_kmem_uncharge and make the charge method return error code instead of bool to conform to mem_cgroup_try_charge.

IFC6410 uses CONFIG_FLATMEM where alloc_node_mem_map allocates memory for the mem_map. alloc_node_mem_map will offset for unaligned nodes with the assumption the pfn/page translation functions will account for the offset. The functions for CONFIG_FLATMEM do not offset however, resulting in overrunning the memmap array. Just use the allocated memmap without any offset when running with CONFIG_FLATMEM to avoid the overrun.

debugfs: Pass bool pointer to debugfs_create_bool()
Its a bit odd that debugfs_create_bool() takes 'u32 *' as an argument,
when all it needs is a boolean pointer.
It would be better to update this API to make it accept 'bool *'
instead, as that will make it more consistent and often more convenient.
Over that bool takes just a byte.
That required updates to all user sites as well, in the same commit
updating the API. regmap core was also using
debugfs_{read|write}_file_bool(), directly and variable types were
updated for that to be bool as well.

mm: rename and move get/set_freepage_migratetype
The pair of get/set_freepage_migratetype() functions are used to cache pageblock migratetype for a page put on a pcplist, so that it does not have to be retrieved again when the page is put on a free list (e.g. when pcplists become full). Historically it was also assumed that the value is accurate for pages on freelists (as the functions' names unfortunately suggest), but that cannot be guaranteed without affecting various allocator fast paths. It is in fact not needed and all such uses have been removed. The last remaining (but pointless) usage related to pages of freelists is in move_freepages(), which this patch removes. To prevent further confusion, rename the functions to get/set_pcppage_migratetype() and expand their description. Since all the users are now in mm/page_alloc.c, move the functions there from the shared header.

mm, page_isolation: remove bogus tests for isolated pages
The __test_page_isolated_in_pageblock() is used to verify whether all
pages in pageblock were either successfully isolated, or are hwpoisoned.
Two of the possible state of pages, that are tested, are however bogus
and misleading.
Both tests rely on get_freepage_migratetype(page), which however has no
guarantees about pages on freelists. Specifically, it doesn't guarantee
that the migratetype returned by the function actually matches the
migratetype of the freelist that the page is on. Such guarantee is not
its purpose and would have negative impact on allocator performance.
The first test checks whether the freepage_migratetype equals
MIGRATE_ISOLATE, supposedly to catch races between page isolation and
allocator activity. These races should be fixed nowadays with

1/ Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
kernel's direct map. This facility is used by the pmem driver to
enable pfn_to_page() operations on the page frames returned by DAX
('direct_access' in 'struct block_device_operations'). For now, the
'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes from "System
RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device memory will
arrive in a later kernel.
2/ Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The
replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3. Completion of
the conversion is targeted for v4.4.
3/ Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.
4/ Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
cacheable to improve performance.
5/ Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support
for issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
fixes.

mm: ZONE_DEVICE for "device memory"
While pmem is usable as a block device or via DAX mappings to userspace there are several usage scenarios that can not target pmem due to its lack of struct page coverage. In preparation for "hot plugging" pmem into the vmemmap add ZONE_DEVICE as a new zone to tag these pages separately from the ones that are subject to standard page allocations. Importantly "device memory" can be removed at will by userspace unbinding the driver of the device. Having a separate zone prevents allocation and otherwise marks these pages that are distinct from typical uniform memory. Device memory has different lifetime and performance characteristics than RAM. However, since we have run out of ZONES_SHIFT bits this functionality currently depends on sacrificing ZONE_DMA. Cc: H.

memory-hotplug: fix wrong edge when hot add a new node
When we add a new node, the edge of memory may be wrong.
e.g. system has 4 nodes, and node3 is movable, node3 mem:[24G-32G],
1. hotremove the node3,
2. then hotadd node3 with a part of memory, mem:[26G-30G],
3. call hotadd_new_pgdat()
free_area_init_node()
get_pfn_range_for_nid()
4. it will return wrong start_pfn and end_pfn, because we have not
update the memblock.
This patch also fixes a BUG_ON during hot-addition, please see

fs, file table: reinit files_stat.max_files after deferred memory initialisation
Dave Hansen reported the following;
My laptop has been behaving strangely with 4.2-rc2. Once I log
in to my X session, I start getting all kinds of strange errors
from applications and see this in my dmesg:
VFS: file-max limit 8192 reached
The problem is that the file-max is calculated before memory is fully
initialised and miscalculates how much memory the kernel is using. This
patch recalculates file-max after deferred memory initialisation. Note
that using memory hotplug infrastructure would not have avoided this
problem as the value is not recalculated after memory hot-add.
4.1: files_stat.max_files = 6582781
4.2-rc2: files_stat.max_files = 8192
4.2-rc2 patched: files_stat.max_files = 6562467
Small differences with the patch applied and 4.1 but not enough to matter.

mm, meminit: allow early_pfn_to_nid to be used during runtime
early_pfn_to_nid() historically was inherently not SMP safe but only used during boot which is inherently single threaded or during hotplug which is protected by a giant mutex. With deferred memory initialisation there was a thread-safe version introduced and the early_pfn_to_nid would trigger a BUG_ON if used unsafely. Memory hotplug hit that check. This patch makes early_pfn_to_nid introduces a lock to make it safe to use during hotplug.

mm/page_owner: set correct gfp_mask on page_owner
Currently, we set wrong gfp_mask to page_owner info in case of isolated freepage by compaction and split page. It causes incorrect mixed pageblock report that we can get from '/proc/pagetypeinfo'. This metric is really useful to measure fragmentation effect so should be accurate. This patch fixes it by setting correct information. Without this patch, after kernel build workload is finished, number of mixed pageblock is 112 among roughly 210 movable pageblocks. But, with this fix, output shows that mixed pageblock is just 57.

mm/page_owner: fix possible access violation
When I tested my new patches, I found that page pointer which is used for setting page_owner information is changed. This is because page pointer is used to set new migratetype in loop. After this work, page pointer could be out of bound. If this wrong pointer is used for page_owner, access violation happens. Below is error message that I got.

mm: meminit: finish initialisation of struct pages before basic setup
Waiman Long reported that 24TB machines hit OOM during basic setup when struct page initialisation was deferred. One approach is to initialise memory on demand but it interferes with page allocator paths. This patch creates dedicated threads to initialise memory before basic setup. It then blocks on a rw_semaphore until completion as a wait_queue and counter is overkill. This may be slower to boot but it's simplier overall and also gets rid of a section mangling which existed so kswapd could do the initialisation.

mm: meminit: remove mminit_verify_page_links
mminit_verify_page_links() is an extremely paranoid check that was introduced when memory initialisation was being heavily reworked. Profiles indicated that up to 10% of parallel memory initialisation was spent on checking this for every page. The cost could be reduced but in practice this check only found problems very early during the initialisation rewrite and has found nothing since. This patch removes an expensive unnecessary check.

mm: meminit: initialise remaining struct pages in parallel with kswapd
Only a subset of struct pages are initialised at the moment. When this patch is applied kswapd initialise the remaining struct pages in parallel. This should boot faster by spreading the work to multiple CPUs and initialising data that is local to the CPU. The user-visible effect on large machines is that free memory will appear to rapidly increase early in the lifetime of the system until kswapd reports that all memory is initialised in the kernel log. Once initialised there should be no other user-visibile effects.
